The The American Field Service promotes understanding between 51 countries of the world through the exchange of students. Last year 1,170 students came to the United States from Europe, the Near and Far East, and South and Central America to spend a senior year in American schools while 1,109 students from the United States traveled abroad under the exchange program. Interest in the AFS program for Waterford High School started in 1958 when two students, Gretchen Wilbur '60 and John Thompson '60, attended a student council conference at Yale University and learned about the AFS. With Mrs. Nancy Roberts' co-operation, former principal John E. Palmer, the community, and the student body were informed of this program which is of such benefit to both the student who travels and the school and community which sponsors him. In May 1959, an all-school assembly was held to give the students a chance to decide whether they wished to par- ticipate in the program. Mrs. Nancy Roberts, a Spanish teacher here then and a former exchange student to Ger- many, spoke of her experiences in the AFS program. Five students from the Robert F.. Fitch Senior High school of Groton also spoke about the program. Waterford students decided unanimously to support the program with interest and funds. The following September Alan Velut, a 16-year-old student from Nancy, France, enrolled for classes as Water- ford's first foreign exchange student. As a house guest of Mr. and Mrs. Charles White of Lamphere Road, he became World of Waterfor d accustomed to American ways as well as contributing much of his countryls culture to our community. As part of the program, Elaine Starks spent this past summer in Mendoza, Argentina, with the Carlos Albino family. Having taken Spanish for three years, she did not find the language a barrier. l think the AFS program is wonderfulll' declares Elaine. It brings closer relations with people more than anything elsefl Lucille Usison, whose home is in lvisan, Philippines, spent this school year with the family of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Horan on Beach Road and attended classes as Waterford's second foreign exchange student. ln her appli- cation to the AFS she wrote, I would like to have the opportunity to study in the American school which l know would be more complete in equipment and facilities, taught by competent and learned instructorsf, Arriving here, she also found that language was not a barrier, having taken 10 years of English before coming here. Waterford hopes to have another student go abroad again this summer. Miss Caroline Kinney, now directing the AFS program at WHS, proclaims, 4'We are looking for people who can best carry out the aims of the AFS.7' Appli- cations for the summer study program have been filed by Michael Connolly, Mary Winthrop, Robert O'Sullivan, Kay Williams, and Elaine Shimkas. Karen Benker has applied for the schoolyear study program. Notification as to whether Waterford will have a student abroad is made in May or June of the year of application. Library facilities were one of the things that Lucille looked forward to in an American high school The library is now open one evening a week and on Saturday mornings High School Takes on New Dimensions AFTER A BUSY DAY students leave to board one of the 14 buses which await to take them home. Students who live within a mile radius of school walk while many other students drive. Other students remain at school for extra help, activities, and sports Mondays through Thursdays. Five late buses return at 4 p.m. to take them home. Growing School in a Growing Communit Plans for an addition are examined by Walter Benson who has served on the building committees for WHS since the need of a high school in Waterford became pronounced in 1955. 6 On what was once a 47-acre rolling field have emerged the beautiful buildings which form the semi-campus layout of Waterford High School. Since the first 24 rooms, cafe- teria, shops, and gymnasium were completed in 1956, ten rooms and a large library have been added. These were ready for use in 1959. Even with this space it has become evident that more room is needed to fit Waterford High School's growing population. To fulfill this need, 13 classrooms, two mechan- ical drawing rooms, two additional shops, a music room, and other facilities are expected to be ready for occupancy by September, 1962. The need for such expansion becomes evident when one notes the growth of the student body that has already taken place in the school's brief five-year history. The school opened in the fall of 1956 with 615 students on double sessions at the Clark Lane school, the following year saw the number increase to 624, then to 644 in 1958. Expanding into a full four-year high school in 1959, the number increased to 830. This number was raised this year to 875. With this increase in the student body, facilities have also been increased. A student can now choose from 96 subjects. Equipment had been kept up-to-date, too. In contrast to Argentine schools, explains Elaine Starks, Ev- erything here is so modern. From what 1 saw of the school buildings in Argentina, they were very old with no heating. Such equipment as maps, blackboards, and desks were only adequate. Between classes students enjoy chatter and a bit of fresh air as they go between wings Contents ' Faculty t Semors Underclassmen Activities Sports WW .

The faculty in Filipino schools is similar to the faculty heref' agrees Lucille Usison. 4'The major difference is that high schools here offer an elective program for students who wish to utilize their acquired skills immediately after graduation as well as a sound program for those who are planning to attend colleges and universitiesf, More unique to Waterford High School is the extra help program whereby the 51 faculty members provide special instruc- tion to any of the 875 students who remain after school on afternoons Monday through Thursday. 1 1 '??I'f-I'l'......

A new superintendent directs the destiny of public edu- cation in Waterford. Joseph C. Kunces is responsible for the education of the 3,824 students enrolled in the Waterford Public School System, of which Waterford High School is a part. It is he who is responsible for the implementation of the decisions made by the elected Board of Education for the five elementary schools, Clark Lane Junior High School, and Waterford High School. An intensive comparative study of the schools of Can- ada has been undertaken by this Massachusetts native. He has visited 28 Canadian schools during his travels and has been especially interested in the way that they solve their bi-cultural and bi-lingual problems. His educational phil- osophy for Waterford to raise its already high standards includes making more provision for individual differences in the learning program. The primary immediate attention will be given to the non-college preparatory student at all grade levels. Directing a faculty of 51, Principal Clarence A. Coogan, Jr. is serving his second year as the administrator of the five-year-old high school. This Air Force veteran has visited Newfoundland, the Azores, Algeria, Tunisia, and Italy. His addnistration has seen the school accredited by the New England Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, the graduation of the first two secondary school classes in the history of the town, and plans for the second major addition to the physical plant. Vice-Principal Harold Goldberg began serving in his administrative ollice full-time this year. Two guidance teachers now give full-time attention to the guidance pro- gram. Clarence A.

At Waterford High School a student selects his studies from the 96 subjects offered. New courses are continually being added, three hav- ing been added this year. These include German III, French IV, and blueprint reading. A student receives much counselling and advice from the guidance depart- ment in course, college, and career selection. Hin Argentina a student had fewer courses from which to choose than a Waterford studentf, agrees Elaine Starks. There are more facilities, such as shops and laboratories available to students heref, adds Elaine. A tradition over which there was some controversy was started this year - one by which underclassmen remain standing until Career guidance is availalvle in the guirlanre office as well as arlvice in subject choice.

We have a variety of clubs, pub- lications, and dances, all of which are as much a part of a Filipino student's life as they are of an American student. Through participation in such activities, l believe, a student obtains lead- ership abilities, knowledge, friends, and a bal- ance between scholastic and social life. Chances are that in Water- ford a student will find his interest among the 30 extra-curricular activities offered here. These include musical organizations, special interest clubs, publications, and honor societies that fac- ulty members are willing to put in many extra hours to sponsor.

It was re- ported that the students had elected the Republican candi- date Richard M. Nixon f F ranklin Brooks j president, defeat- ing the Democratic candidate John F. Kennedy ffoseph Compronej for the oflice. The columns reporting the national results stated the opposite as being true.

Johnson flffugene Alexsaj received 38'Z. Nixon received 490, or 9lWp of the electoral votes to Kennedy's 47, or 976. Former school teacher GOP Horace Seely-Brown was elected in both the schoolis mock election and in the election of the congressional district. The communityis adults gave the Republican ticket a clear majority, too, when for the first time they used the schoolis gymnasium as a polling place. Under the sponsorship of the history department, the problems of democracy classes of Philip Pumerantz and Howard Christensen conducted these miniatures of complete political campaigns as a unit in the learning of the American way of life. Students were able to play the roles of the different functionaries of our political and governmental system. CONCLUDING WHISTLE-STOP speeches are made by two P.O.D. students in the mock-election campaign sponsored by the history depart- ment.

Bachman, faculty advisor. The letter was but one result of the preparation that the newsmagazine made in cover- ing the presidential election. Covering the national election is but one example of Waterford High School's unique 16 to 20-page monthly newsmagazine of news, features, and editorials. Nine issues are made available to the students from the second day of school each fall to the 24- to 28-page May-,lune issue featur- ing the graduating class each spring. Effort is made to create a new and more interesting publication each time. Direct quotations and opinions as well as a great number of pictures of significant people explain rather than report isolated facts. Since winning a first place rating at Columbia Scholas- tic Press Association with its very first issue in 1956, the publication has consistently received top awards in national and state adjudications. An example of this is the medalist award from Columbia last year where the board of judges rated it with 985 out of a possible 1,000 points. Articles concerning the publication have appeared in dozens of state, national, and foreign newspapers and magazines. Staff members were given access to all the entries in the newsmagazine division of the Columbia University judging this year when the publication's advisor was named to this 2- n Lug top national group's board of judges. i ' li 0 ' ', In I7 - - G f'?l'-ik., Q 'faiullu s . . , Wig -RMT' CHARTER APPRENTICES listen to an explanation by Robert L.

Through the .state library club organization, the members are able to meet library club members from other schools as well as see the school that they attend. The group, whose officers are Elizabeth Cortucci, president, Nancy Allen, secretary, and Aura MacDonald, treasurer, meets once a month in the library. n There were many activities this year. ln November the regional conference of the state library club was held here. Principal Clarence Coogan welcomed the group and ex- tended his appreciation of the line work carried on in the school library. Odell Shepard of Waterford talked on local history. In March, Elizabeth Cortucci, Marilyn Ashley, Aura MacDonald, and Carol Martin attended the library workshop in New Haven. This marked the first year that Connecticut has attempted a library workshop and it was held at the Southern Connecticut State College. ln addition to hearing a main speaker, the delegates were placed in groups according to their own interests. After a luncheon, more meetings were held on such topics as dis- play cases, and library work as a career. An open house for town oflicials was held during April in honor of the National Library Week. ln the spring, the entire 020 Club attended the regional conference. 020 CLUB members assist in the library and learn about library work.

The officers are Joseph Comprone, presidentg Donald Lavoi, vice-presidentg and Dennis Singleton, secre- tary-treasurer. Interest in sports and the development of the body was apparent at Waterford this year. The Varsity 'W' Club, which is for varsity athletes formed two years ago, is actu- ally an honorary society. Each year they sponsor the Var- sity Club Dance at which they crown a Varsity 'W' Queen. The name of the queen is announced at the dance. For the girls the Tumbling Club was formed. Miss Arden Curtis was the advisor for this newly-formed club. Although it is a small club, a great interest in it was shown. The club has six members and its purpose is to learn the techniques involved in tumbling. The girls perform to music. THE TUMBLING CLUB was newly formed this year.

The chorus is com- posed of 140 people this year, and anyone with an interest in music and a desire to sing is able to participate in the group. ln the spring auditions of chorus members were held, and a choir of 60 voices was chosen to perform special selections, thus expanding the amount and variety of music to be sung. Most of the students meet in regularly- sched- uled choral classes two times a week for sectional rehearsals. The remainder meet during the X periods, and all of the members rehearse as a unified group prior to the concerts. ln conjunction with the high school band the chorus presented three major concerts this year. Both the Christ- mas Concert in December and the Spring Concert on May 5 are annual events that are opportunities for the school community and the general public to hear the fine results of many hours of rehearsal. On Feb. 18 the chorus took part in a concert in association with the Keene fNew Hampshirel High School Band and Chorus. ln addition to providing musical entertainment, the purpose of that concert was to support the American Field Service drive to raise money for the foreign student fund. -f.- wn.1 ,,,,.,.,,, ,.,,, L L ,. .Q International Language Audiences at chorus concerts are exposed to a wide variety of music encompassing many countries and periods of time. Currently popular songs and musical comedy num- bers are included on the same program with American folk songs and spirituals. Of course, Christmas carols formed the basic for the Christmas Concert, but other kinds of music were sung also. Art songs, a type of music wherein the accompaniment is as important as the music itself, are fea- tured by the chorus. The members of the chorus are not limited to mere singing during a performance. For example, during the Christmas Concert some singers enacted 'A visit from St. Nicholas' while the remainder of the chorus sang in the background. Several students in the chorus play musical instruments in the ,band as well. Two members of the chorus, Diane Munger and Ann Kelley, accompany the group at rehearsals and during the actual concerts. And although Arthur S. Booth, the director of music, usually conducts the choral groups, he occasionally turns his baton over to a stud- ent conductor. The chorus maintains the tradition of pro- viding music that suits a wide variety of tastes. STUDENT CONDUCTOR Harold Hayes directs the chorus members in a few selections at the concerts. Hc also holds the position of president of the chorus this year. SPANISH CLUB OFFICERS include Janet Aligero, secretaryg Helen Kohl, treas- urerg Donna Venti, vice-presidentg and James White, president. A PINATA was a Christmas party attrac- tion for Spanish Club members Michaele Brastowg Linda Ensmingerg Donna Ventig Miss Carolyn Frederick, advisorg Susan 0'Neill: Lucille Usisong .loan O'Sullivang Mary Horang Helen Kohl: Anne Seving James Whiteg and James Aldrich. Spanish customs and traditions are made more mean- ingful to members of the Spanish Club at their monthly meetings. The students conduct original research and give oral reports about Spanish countries throughout the world. Guest speakers and records of Spanish music are other activities that add interest to the meetings. Girls interested in homemaking are able to join the Future Homemakers of America.

Lenci and the council officers: Sandra Jones, treasurer: Patricia Jarvin, vice presidentg Patricia Campagna, secretaryg and James White, president Opinions and Enacts Legislation The members of the Student Council have worked this years - as in the past - to act as a liaison between the student body and the school administration. Individuals and groups representing the council strive to improve the working relations between the students and the administra- tion by meeting with the adults in successful efforts that enable the students to have a voice in the school government. Such activities create a high morale on the part of the student body, the council members make sure that the morale of the school is maintained by having each home- room represented at the weekly meetings, thereby enabling every student to have his views aired and his program advocated. Students acting on their own initiative or as representatives of school organizations are also entitled to come before the Student Council to present their ideas. This is a two-way process, however, members of the faculty and administration also attend council meetings to inform the members of new policies and to clarify any ambiguities in existing ones. The rapport between the student body and the administration is thereby strengthened. One of the principal responsibilities of the Student Council is to co-ordinate all school and social activities. Every club receives its charter from the council, thus estab- lishing its identity as a part of the extra-curricular program. Council members schedule academic and extra-curricular events so that no aspect of school life is neglected. With regards to scheduling, the assembly committee of the Student Council works with the administration in plan- ning and scheduling the programs. The pep rallies, speakers, and concerts given by the high school band and by visiting bands such as the Ithaca College Concert Band and the United States Coast Guard Band, films, and other programs were planned and co-ordinated by the committee. The re- sulting effect is that of maintaining the established tradition of having varied assemblies of a high quality that are certain to please everyone in the school community. This year the Student Council continued its work of raising money for two highly deserving groups: the March of Dimes fund and the Waterford chapter of the American Field Service. The March of Dimes fund-raising campaign was conducted in March. The Variety Show held on April 7 and 8 helped defray the expenses of having a foreign student here. The council supported the show by publicising the event and generating enthusiasm for it among the students. Attendance at conferences yields many benefits to those involved. One of the most important conferences was the one held at the Hotchkiss School in Lakeville during the last week of August. The officers of the Waterford council at- tended to learn more about establishing and maintaining effective leadership. A high point in the council year was the commendable job done in the organization of the first WHS regional conference. Over 200 students from eastern Connnecticut came Oct. 26 to discuss How Responsible Leadership Serves the Community. Thus the Student Council improved its leadership of the student body. 91 i I s ' K Q4 i SENIOR BATON CORPS members perform at athletic events concerts, and parades to help build school spirit.

Missing from the picture are Drum Majorette Ann Miller, Bernise Lumbert, and Sherrie Smith. Practice in Baton Twirlin or Debating Creating school pride and spirit is the objective of the twirlers who work with the high school band in an effort to attain this goal. They annually sponsor the first dance of the school year to honor football and cross-country players. In addition, they perform at the Veteran's and Memorial Day parades, half times of home and away football games, the annual variety show, the student-faculty game, and other school events. In the fall, just after the foobail season, freshmen and sophomores can try out to become twirlers. A student is judged on her marching ability, co-ordination, appearance, and ability to follow directions. If she passes all these requirements, she becomes a member of the Junior Baton Corps. As a member of the Junior Baton Corps she practices under the direction of members of the Senior Baton Corps. She learns simple routines and develops skills necessary to be a successful Senior Baton Corps member. Then, follow- ing a sixvmonth to a year period of practice as a Junior Baton Corps member, she becomes eligible for the Senior Baton Corps. She then fills positions that are left vacant by graduates. If she twirls well enough by spring, she is allowed to perform in the Memorial Day Parade. All Junior Corps members make their first appearance at the student- faculty game. Once a member of the Senior Corps she practices once or twice a week and helps Junior Baton Corps members develop their skills, so they, too, can become members.

Excalibur 1961 Charts The World of Extending the horizons of the readers of the second yearbook to be published by this high school was the task that the Excalibur 1961 gave itself when it decided on the theme of The World of Waterford High' last spring. Ambitious members of the staff worked during the spring and summer of 1960, and by the time school was resumed in the fall, much of the work had been completed. Conferences with American Field Service representatives at their New York headquarters were held to gain first-hand knowledge of that program. The students undertook research in many books and in- terviewed our three students who had been foreign exchange students to gain a more comprehensive view of the activities of students in foreign countries in comparison with those of Waterford High. They also commissioned photographs to be taken in such countries as Argentina, Italy, the Philip- pines, and Russia during the summer by traveling students and members of the faculty to further the theme. During the first few weeks of school the entire staff concerned themselves with the financial aspects of yearbook production. Advertisements were sold by them to both small businesses as Well as large corporations in Waterford and the surrounding area. The staff then concentrated on the lay-outs, photography, and literary endeavors to accurately and completely record the administration, faculty, student body, and their multi-faceted activities at the high school. The academic features of school life were portrayed in the yearbook, but the various organizations, and other activities were not neglected. Upon the completion of this yearbook in March, the students began working on the Excalibur 1962. FINANCING is a vital aspect of producing a modern high school year- book. With guidance of Miss Pauline White, Business Manager Barbara ,T Holmes is responsible for the budget and bookkeeping. 94 COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION in yearbook production was the responsibility of Advertising Manager Jeanne Skawinski.

' a ta e to Our Waterford Players Bringing out the hidden talents of Waterford students is accomplished by the Dramatics Club. ln addition to util- izing those students gifted in the dramatic arts, the club also makes use of the ones who are handy with an eyebrow pencil and mascara or with a hammer and nails or paint- brush. In short, membership in the Dramatics Club is open to all students., The Patricia Barnhill Chapter of the National Thespian Society, however, is an organization to which only those students who have contributed above-average service to the Dramatics Club may belong. At present there are a dozen members in the honorary society. There were four plays presented by the Dramatics Club this year. On Feb. 9 three one-act plays were seen by the audience. The Queen's Enemies showed how an Egyptian queen defeated her enemies. The Overtones revealed the secret emotions of two modern women. The Charm por- trayed life in the mountains of Kentucky. This was the first time that the Waterford Dramatics Club attempted to depart from the traditional presentation, that of one three-act play. Reverting to more traditional form, the club presented Blithe Spirit, the famous Noel Coward play, on April 28 and 29. Two members of the English department, Mrs. Lois Robert and Mrs. Francis Wovoitis, were the advisors to the club. This was the first year that there have been co- advisors, and also it was their .first year in working with the club. They contributed their time and talents to the third successful year of theatrical entertainment here.

The 45-voice student group is composed of young, fresh voices ranging in ages from 14- to 18 years. The concert given by the group jointly with the Waterford musical groups Feb. 18 netted 15500 for the AFS fund. Keene Choir from New Hampshire Upened Sponsoring the American Field Service program at Waterford High School is an all-school activity. The Stud- ent Council, the music and art departments, the school pub- lications, and the entire student body back this popular program that is looking forward to sending the second Waterford student abroad and receiving its third foreign student here. About 800 persons filled the gymnasium Feb. 18 at a concert staged by the Keene High School A cappella Choir of New Hampshire and music groups from the school here to raise about 35500 for the foreign exchange student pro- gram. A dance followed the concert. Equally capable of singing lighter airs of complicated compositions of several voice parts, the Keene choir per- formed with a maturity which belied the ages of its mem- bers. Since its organization 16 years ago, the choir has toured throughout the New England states, New York. New Jersey, 98 Washington, D.C., and parts of Canada. In a repertoire which included works by the masters and well-known contemporary composers as well, the choir included a variety of outstanding choral selections. Announcement was received in March of the selection of Kay Williams to be the 1961 Waterford foreign exchange student. She will leave from the west coast June 18 for Ashiya-Shi, Hyogo-Ken, Japan. She will return Sept. 2. The family with whom she will be staying during this period, the Nahanishis, have a 16-year-old daughter and three sons, ages ten, 12, and 14. She is one of 1,500 applicants chosen as U. S. repre- sentatives to foreign countries out of the more than 2,500 who applied. Last year it wasn't until May that Elaine Starks was notified that she had been chosen to be Water- ford High Schoolis first student to qualify under the foreign exchange program. CONDUCTOR Robert M.

Under the direction of physical education teacher Mrs. Hazel Rettig, the sixty girls in the club hold weekly classes in the gymnasium. There they set rhythmic body movements to music, thereby creating dances by interpreting their feelings and such abstract concepts as colors and moods. Through an increased awareness of the relationship between music and dance moods, the girls gain more experi- ence in interpreting and creating. The dances are not con- fined to any specific type, but include different folk, modern and jazz choreography composed by the students. Because of their limited amount of training, so far, the girls are in various stages of developed ability. However, the club members presented two dance numbers in the an- nual spring variety show, a stylized polka and a modern jazz interpretation. During the next school year the stud- ents hope to present a complete dance recital to enable more girls to participate in a performance and gain per- formance experience in dancing. The club members also plan to attend dance clinics at other schools and perhaps to form a modern dance workshop at Waterford High. The first people to hold positions as officers are Virginia Lawrence, president, Ruth Dickinson, vice president, Janice Lowe, secretary: and Carole Romeo, treasurer. Through their leadership the club members have gained much experi- ence in choreographing their own interpretive modern and folk dances.

The band serves as both a marching and a con- cert band, and there are over 60 students in the organization. Under the baton 'of the new director, Arthur S. Booth, the band stimulates school spirit by playing at football games and pep rallies in the fall. The exuberance of the music at such events is matched by the quality evidenced at formal band concerts presented to the student body and the public at the Christmas Concert in December and the Spring Concert in May. The band also sponsored a concert in association with the Keene fNew Hampshirel High School choir and band in February for the American Field Service fund-raising drive, and an assembly and concert by the Ithaca fNew Yorkj College Band in March.

Benefit the School Communit The fourth annual student-faculty game was held on March 17 in the high school gymnasium. A capacity crowd saw the varsity basketball team play the faculty team, com- posed of teachers from the Waterford school system, for the benefit of the Scholarship Fund of the Waterford Education Association. Faculty Coach Charles J. Cupello and Assistant Coach Clarence A. Coogan, Jr., principals of the junior high and the high school respectively, saw to it that their team made a very good showing against the younger varsity team, coached by Francis X. Sweeney. The teachers wore outlandish costumes which undoubtedly aided them in con- fusing their opponents and scoring as many baskets as they did. Encouraged by nine faculty cheerleaders from the school system who were also arrayed in costumes, the teach- ers plus the students kept the spectators highly entertained throughout the evening. The combined talents of the high school students and the faculty members made the annual Variety Show on April 7 and 8 a great success. Auditions were held prior to the show, and the acts that were chosen were presented for the benefit of the American Field Service foreign student fund. Mrs. Frances Woviotis coordinated the show with the assist- ance of Arthur S. Booth and other teachers. Contributing acts included numbers performed by groups representing the twirlers, the cheerleaders, the Folk and Modern Dance Club, the Gymnastics Club and the faculty. Several dance numbers ranging from the hula to interpretative modern dances, musical selections and the faculty skit carried on the tradition that the Variety Show provides entertainment for all. 'TYPICAL, CLASSROOM scenes were portrayed by Mrs. Frances Woviotis, Miss Carolyn Kinney, Miss Anne Twomey, and Francis X. Sweeny in the Variety Show sponsored by the Student Council.

This class travelled farther than last year's seniors, who chose the Mohegan Hotel for their final social activity. At the Griswold Hotel the seniors enjoyed sirloin of beef, baked potatoes, corn on the cob, green vegetables, salads, rolls, ice cream pic, beverage, and after-dinner mints while music supplied by hotel orchestra was played. All seniors could then dance or swim in the famed Griswold pool. Senior class dues covered the expense of the banquet. In addition, the 31615 dues collected from each senior included the rental of caps and gowns and invitations for the gradua- tion exerciss, the Excalibur 1961 with his name engraved on the cover, prom, class gift to school, and his diploma. The reason students had to pay only this amount for all these things was because there was a large sum of money which had been made at dances and other activities in the class treasury. Another final social event of the seniors was a class picnic held in June. Although this was not included in the class dues, many students attended. Varied activities filled French Club meetings this year. Speakers, trips and singing were among the scheduled activi- ties. ford High School 1961 Miss Ruth Bushley showed many slides of France and Paris that she had taken during various voyages there since 1953. Another much-enjoyed event was a talk given by Mrs. Robert McWethy who had gone to France in 194-5, after the war. While there she had worked with a group of young people in an effort to rehabilitate them, especially the children, so that they might return to a normal life. She not only talked about France's condition, but the people's condition both of mind and of body. ln April the group took a trip out of town to see a French movie.

They opened the season here with a loss to Berlin, 12-20, but snapped right back to defeat Plainfield 6-0. The WHS eleven remained on this winning note for the next two games, downing Putnam 18-6 and trouncing Griswold 20-0. Both of the latter teams had defeated Waterford the previous year. If scores are any indication, the Lancer team has improved. Stonington broke the winning streak by downing the Lancers 22-38. After scoring three touchdowns in this game, Donald Lavoi received a fractured arm which put him out of action for the rest of the season.

Three Straight Wins Mark lmprovement The Waterford Lancers seemed to follow a scoring trend during the greater part of the 1960 season. They did most of their scoring in the second half of each game. They won their three games in this manner which made it all the more spectacular, but unfortunately, the Lancers lost games this way, too. The early leads of their opponents often were too much to overcome. A near victory over Killingly prevented the Lancers from making a .500 record this season when a touchdown was nullified. The score in the final game of the season was 6-7 going into the last minute of play. Waterford had the ball only a few feet from the Killingly goal. Ronald Brouwer went over for what seemed to be the winning touchdown, but the play was called back on a penalty and the points nullified. lt was an exciting but heartbreaking finale to the second season of varsity ball. 121 A PEP TALK during one of the frequent time outs on the basketball court is given by Coach Francis X.

This was the best record obtained in its three years of varsity competition. The out- look is even better for next year, for there was only one senior in the starting five. The season had two main thrills for the Lancers: the 49-47 victory over New London High School and the win- ning of the Eastern Connecticut Conference title. These are both firsts for the Lancers.

Harriers Win First Conference Title lf one were to ask various athletes about Waterford fields what is the most diHicult sport in which to participate, the football player would probably say football, the golfer would say golf. But ask someone who plays on a number of teams, and he would probably say track. Why? Because track is a sport in which the greatest strain of competition rests on the individual. Each person must excel in his event, you cannot be second-best to win. Track is a difficult sport and requires much practice. Practice for track begins early in March, when the boys begin training for javelin throwing, discus throwing, shot running races of various kinds. ln 1960 the Lancers captured the ECC trophy from Fitch, Stonington, and Killingly, and planned to work hard to retain it this year. At this meet, Bruce Saunders won the javelin throw by breaking a school record of over 191 feet. Fine performances by other individuals on the team led Waterford to a fine season, winning six out of six dual meets. The loss of seniors through graduation shouldn't hurt the team too much, due to experience gained by underclass- men last year. putting, high jumping, broad jumping, pole vaulting, and ,V , , March 26 April 13 17 28 May 1 4 5 11 16 SUPREME EFFORT when needed is respon- sible for the long throws 26 made by Peter Joyce in the shot-put.

The sport is played in the fall and runs concurrent with the football season. The 1961 Cross Country team, sparked by Sophomore Alex- ander Orloff, won four out of five of its dual meets this season, and went on to win the CIAC trophy. Alexander Orloff placed 16th in all classes in the meet while the team placed tenth against CIAC schools. The harriers also ran in the Connecticut Sectionals and Alex Orloff finished 15th out of 100 runners in Eastern Connecticut. This yearis Cross Country team defeated Wind- ham, Fitch, New London, and St. Bernard's fhy a perfect scorej. Their only loss was to a Class L team, N.F.A.g and they won an unscheduled meet over the Coast Guard fresh- men by a perfect 15-40 score.

GOLF, along with baseball and track, enter the spotlight in the spring. James White fleftj, and Brad Chaney are the only members returning from last year's team which won so much respect. ln individual scoring Chaney was second and White fourth. In the first three years of play the golf team has amassed an enviable record of suffering only one defeat to give it the best won-lost record of all Waterford's teams. With Brad Chaney and James White returning again this year and new additions, Charles Luxton and Carl Cascio, and Coaches Thomas Dorsey and Frank Allegretti, this year's team had as good an opportunity as previously. During the summer James White and Brad Chaney played in 'several tournaments. Jim placed second in the Elks Junior Golf Tournament, and Brad placed fifth at the New London Country Club. At the Groton Elks Junior Golf Tournament Brad again placed fifthg behind Jim who placed fourth. Both are seventy shooters, Brad having a low of 74- at the Norwich Country Club and Jim having a low of 77 at New London. Golf, unlike the majority of sports at Waterford High School, depends on individual effort, not teamwork. Hours of individual practice on the green are necessary to be a successful player. Many of the golf team members earn money by caddying, and at the same time receive pointers on improving their style. G-..,.,. -M . CRAB BALL. As part of the gym- nastic phase of the boys' physical edu- cation, crab ball is played. The boys enjoy this game which must be played in a sitting position. The feet, not the 134 hands, move the ball. Heathful exercise is only one of the many advantages of Waterford High School's phys- ical education program. The program gives the students a chance to develop coordination and fundamental skills. These carry over into the team sports and other activities which, in turn, can develop them more finely. The emphasis is on team sports and indi- vidual development. The player learns how to co-operate independently and how to function as part of the group. He learns to follow basic rules and patterns set as standards. Because the student submerges his own person- ality for the success of the team, he gains the qualities of leadership and sportsmanship. Gymnastics, wrestling, and archery - which are not team sports - are also oliered. These help the student to build his personality and to become a better person. Stud- UP AND OVER is the cry as the girls hit a vol- leyball over the net. Games like volleyball provide an opportunity for healthy exercise and team play. I ents are helped in their efforts by the physical education teachers who have been trained especially for such work, and their years of experience have made them experts. Intramural sports are programmed for the students who do not qualify or desire to participate in the varsity team sports. All of these sports are just an extension of the regu- lar gym periods which are attended by all students. VOLLEYBALL SQUAD that en- tered into competi- tion with other area schools gets pre- game advice from Miss Arden Curtis.

The Gymnastics Club of Waterford High School is an organization for furthering gymnastic skills of interested boys. They learn stunts on the parallel bars, high bar, long horse, short horse, and springboard as well as feats without equipment. The club displayed their skills at various occasions in- cluding assemblies, Parent-Teacher Association meetings, and at a Varsity GW' Club basketball game during the 1961 season. At this point the organization is merely a club, but in future years it is hoped that it will expand into full-fledged competing varsity team.

Their needs are catered to by the many stores and busi- nesses of the community. The leading ones are noted on the following pages.
