Weaver High School - Portal Yearbook (Hartford, CT)

Text from Pages 1 - 136 of the 1966 volume:

WEAVER HIGH SCHOOL HARTFORD, CONNECTICUT PHOENIX MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY building a firm foundation for the future . . . 2 THE TRAVELERS INSURANCE COMPANY portraying both tradition and progress in an ever-changing city . . . Startling changes have taken place in Hartford during the past four years as the city, challenged by dreams of a modern community, dared to unveil plans for contem- porary buildings which symbolized the progressive spirit which made those dreams actualities. Constitution Plaza, the foremost example of the city’s success, stirred the im- aginations of even the proud, traditional companies who joined into the effort, becoming actively involved in the transition and sharing in its excitement. Weaver and Hartford are really one in the same. Just as Hartford, the Class of ’66 has accepted its challenges and has progressed during the past four years. Now as creative, responsible, and aware citizens of their com- munity, a community whose only boundaries ate the in- terests and abilities of its citizens, each member is pre- pared to contend with any life ahead. Graduating, the class will go forth and contribute to the growth of their city so that they will prosper together. f THE CONNECTICUT BANK AND TRUST COMPANY : creating a better world for tomorrow . . . 3 MRS. MARY HESLIN - MfoA Mrs. Mary Heslin and her family at home. There is a woman whom everyone ad- mires. Walk into her homeroom and find a teacher conscientiously planning the coming day. Her enthusiasm for her subject is shown by the time and effort she uses to prepare her classes. Walk through the halls and hear the myriad of voices greeting her. Her popu- larity with the students stems from her knowledge of their interests. Walk into her classroom. Her classes are calm and easy-going because she believes in a relaxed atmosphere. Many open discus- sions can be heard if you pass her door. Walk into her classroom and find a friend because she is more than willing to listen to a student with a problem. Walk into her room and just sit down. Her understanding prompts her to tell stu- dents to relax. Walk into her home and find four chil- dren. Despite the long hours she spends at school, she still takes good care of her home and family. The Class of ’66 dedicates this yearbook to you, Mrs. Mary Heslin. There is a man sitting in front of his class. His facial ex- pressions change as he reads aloud. His voice penetrates every student’s mind. He is reading poetry with such feeling that the room becomes filled with only the echo of his voice. There is a man sitting in front of his class. His expression is one of excitement as he pulls the class into discussions. Don’t stop there,” he encourages, We’re finally getting somewhere !” There is a man sitting at his desk. His expression is sym- pathetic as he tries to help a student with his work. He is known for being there with a helping hand whenever one is needed. There is a man sitting on a bus. His quick wit and humor help pass the time. The bus’s destination is the Shakespearean Festival at Stratford. There is a man at the head. He is leading the English Department with new concepts and ideas. He is highly thought of by both teachers and students fortunate enough to have his guidance. There is a man to whom the Class of 1966 dedicates its book. This man is Mr. Robert L. Twiss. MR. ROBERT TWISS Mr. Twiss entertains at home. 5 Through the countless extra- curricular activities at Weaver, the members of the Class of 1966 came to know each other well as everyone worked and laughed together. Who’s in charge of all those small jobs only talked about when something goes wrong? The Student Council. Who takes care of all those large projects that leave ulcers and grey hairs for all involved ? The Student Council. The informality of meetings and the nonchalance of the president made a relaxed atmosphere in which much was accomplished. Despite such minor (?) calamities as Bill Robbins, swinging emcee of Wea- ver A-Go-Go, numerous date changes for Weaver Night, and hopeful seniors desperately begging for a Senior Reception outside the school system, all ran smoothly. Every Friday afternoon from 2:30 to 4:00, Charlie Friedman, beloved and besneakered Council Presi- dent, sponsored an informal get-together in the club- room, or so it appeared to an innocent bystander. Discussions were spontaneous, and Robert’s Rules lay somewhere forgotten under a pile of dust. Yet, despite outward appearances, the Student Council was a productive and binding force at Weaver. STUDENT COUNCIL (left to right): Eric Spungin, Susan Mayerwitz, Charles Friedman, Susan Kargman, Margie Basch, Mr. Tom Straite, Donald Mastronarde, Robert Gilman, Bruce Fox, Alvin Berkon, Steven Guttenplan, Gary Goldstein and Glenn Fields.

BOYS’ CLUB AND GIRLS’ LEAGUE Through the Boys’ Club, Weaver High School re- wards three worthy seniors with two hundred dollar scholarships. The members of the club are the ad- mirable men who buy Boys’ Club membership cards. This species of Beaver peddles pencils in the halls, and cold drinks on the football field in sub-freezing weather. Brrrrrrrr! As officers of one of the most active clubs, the Girls ' League Executive Board meets every week to plan a calendar of interesting social and school events. The school events started with the installation as- sembly at which the 1965-66 officers were installed. Miss Anita Roche and Miss Marie DeBartolo were also installed as honorary members. For a second event, the Annual Christmas Assembly, in which the choir and the orchestra combined their efforts and presented a variety of religious and secular music, was most successful. On the social calendar, the Girls’ League spon- sored a party for their Room Representatives who worked hard to interest many girls in the activities. A new innovation was the Father-Daughter Spaghetti Supper. The Junior Tea and the Girls’ League Ban- quet concluded the activities for the year.

HONOR SOCIETY What a bunch of eggheads!” I’ll bet they do n’t do anything but study.” Brains, brains, brains.” Is that the Honor Society at Weaver? Emphatically not! Like the rest of Weaverdom, Honor Society members worry about dates, homework, jobs, money, and all the other things that plague young people. They like rock and roll, jazz, sports, the Beatles, and sharp clothes. They’re anxi- ous about the world situation and vitally interested in important issues. Because of this, they brought Robert Dwyer and Paul Kuntz from WTIC to Weaver this winter to recount their recent experiences in Viet Nam, illustrating their talk with fascinating slides. An Honor Society member is alert, sometimes meditative, liable to spurts of joy and depths of depression. But he is also an asset to his school and a potential out- standing citizen of the world. 4 mmmL. si % f •[ Br- .

PORTAL As Frankenstein had a creator, Portal ' 66 had an edi- torial board. Unsuspecting as innocent bystanders, we were moved to volunteer our services thinking to make an unselfish contribution to humanity — the yearbook. Maturity is something which is acquired soon after work- ing on a yearbook staff — so is disillusionment, rebell ion and general anarchy, long hours in a darkened school without pizza and softened murmurings of threatened assassinations. Happily we presented a united front when under attack by the opposition, which came quite fre- quently once production began. Throughout the entire tragicomedy, one smile remained unfaltering, one laugh remained uncracked. Our faithful, intrepid advisor, Miss Kathleen Gallagher, remained oblivious to the pressure of exterior forces and each time, as Humpty Dumpty left his wall, she glued him back together. Her smiling face will always remain a cherished memory, locked in the file cabinet along with all the other paraphernalia, and her philosophical advice, Don ' t give up.” While the editorial board struggled with its creativity, the business board squeezed ads out of stones. Early morning conferences in the lobby were followed by hordes of students swarming over merchants and eloquently de- manding that they should have equal advertising rights. Thoroughly overwhelmed and, in some instances even convinced, the ad sales became definite contracts and even more definite payments. The long-suffering and kindly Mr. Alibrio had weathered another yearbook. Back at the layouts, things were becoming a little tense. Only one man, Miss Gallagher, still smiling, announced periodically our deadlines were already passed. In fact every week there was a gentle reminder that we were a little behind. We began to ask the seniors if they really wanted a yearbook or wouldn’t they be content with an eight page supplement to the senior issue of the Lookout. Things were a little indefinite and we contemplated ac- quiring the services of the Caped Crusader and the Boy Wonder. Press nights turned into weekend affairs, and they moved cots into 227. But we work well under a little bit of pressure, one happy family and all that jazz. Miss Gallagher smiles on into the night and you are reading your yearbook. Banzai? We hope everybody is happy.

Gale Nussbaum, Steven Kramer, Paul Spector and Robert Katz. Review Co-Editors: Donald Mastronarde and Susan Gold- man. REVIEW As a mother brings a child into the world, so too the Review staff, with infinite pains and tenderness, brings forth each year a collection of art, poetry, and prose. By running around and asking potential Pulitzer Prize winners to please submit their entries before the deadline (a most flexible date), by spending their vacations reading and correcting the entries that have trickled in, by turning out a good deal of original writings them- selves, Susan Goldman, Donald Mastronarde and Paul Spector, under the guidance of Mr. Devine, produced a literary magazine along with a few premature grey hairs. At the end of May the child was born and, although it’s not an anthology of originals by Picasso, essays by Thoreau or short stories by Hemingway, the Review is creative and thoughtful, the product of Weaver’s young artists. 12 W ‘ i. LOOKOUT We need seventy-two more inches of copy for this issue and it’s 11:00 P.M.” What do you mean you forgot to get that ad?” Who’s going out for the pizzas?” Put down those scissors, they’re lethal weapons.” I’ll bet Portal has left already . . . ” It’s press night in Room 176, alias the Lookout office and people are all over the place. Click, click, click,” go the typewriters. Mr. Italia yells at Donald, Donald yells at Arnold, Arnold yells at David and they all glare at the cub reporters. In the surrounding areas, pens are flying, literally and figuratively, as last minute articles are written and rewritten. The ads and articles for the issue are thumbtacked on dummy sheets. Pizzas are devoured, sodas are downed, and miraculously enough, in the wee hours of the morn- ing, the paper is put to bed. As the last people leave, someone says, Next time we’ll have every- thing done on time.” Second row, Barri Rosenberg, Barbara Sher- man, Linda Spanier and Anita Lazer.

Because of their diligent efforts, the club has sponsored a scholarship for a senior girl who is interested in nursing for a career. The Future Nurses’ Club has revised its program to encompass many more activities than previous years. FUTURE TEACHERS’ CLUB I got rubber pants! What did you get?” Ludicrous gag gifts were a highlight at the Future Teachers’ Club Christmas party. Besides throwing parties, the club has sponsored many constructive functions such as a speaker from the School for the Blind and a panel discussion. Mr. George Thomas spoke to the group early in the year about the qualities of a good teacher. 14 FUTURE TEACHERS ' CLUB (from left to right): Back row — Robert Gilman, Jonell Johnson, Joseph Waxman, Cheryl Coblens, Carolyn Esky, Barbara Strickland. Front row — Susan Kargman, Linda Spanier, Barbara Sherman and Karen Eager. 1 jtv, JEy ' i Mb THE DEBATE CLUB: Beverly Pattison, Robert Wolberg, Mr. Robert Pierce (advisor), Winfred Blue and Eileen Bailey. DEBATE CLUB Despite the fact that the Debate Club has won only one debate this year, the members form a courageous group which deserves a lot of credit for its never-dying determination. Robert Wol- berg, president, still insists that Bulkley dissolved its debating squad simply be- cause its members were utterly petrified about facing Weaver. This year the Debate Club has been involved with the topic of labor and management.

Andrea Margolis (in front). Freedman, Melinda Gunn, Hope Lessinger, Patricia Wood, GIRLS’ BUSINESS CLUB Through the Girls’ Business Club, members gain a better knowledge of what to expect and what is ex- pected of them as secretaries. Each month the club invites executives to come and speak at meetings and to discuss the various qualities necessary for a good secretary. Occasionally, former members of the club are invited back to tell about their experiences in the business world.

FRENCH CLUB (left to right): Davida Novarr, Paula Slutsky, Miss Buckley (advisor), Irma Faust, Cynthia Rose, Jane Riley, Diane Stamm, Steven Rosenthal, Barbara Mattelson and Nancy Neckes. FRENCH CLUB The noble members of the French Club desperately try to follow the cardinal rule of speaking French at all times during every meeting. Unfortunately this leaves a lA French student pathetically sitting in the corner crying. This year the French Club has had to contend with all the havoc, hecticness and crises involved with organiz- ing a new club. C ' est la mort, n’est-ce pas? ART-CRAFTS CLUB Meeting the first Monday of each month, members of the Art-Crafts Club, one of the oldest clubs at Weaver, learn to sketch and to appreciate art. At times, the club invites artists to lecture, and in May the club takes a trip to see interesting art works in another city. At the end of each year, the Art-Crafts Club gives a cash award to a promising young senior artist. 16 MATH CLUB Commenting on the activities of the year, it must be noted that the Math Club has been quite active and has had numerous speakers on various topics, the most outstanding on computer pro- gramming. A field trip to Hartford High provided the club with the op- portunity to write out its own computer program and run it through the mon- robot. Each meeting gives the mathe- matically oriented group a chance to solve the problems of humanity with a slide rule and an abacus. The club is now working on an infallible system for the horses. Theories of games of chance were big this year. MATH CLUB MEMBERS (from left to right): Howard Wein, Barbara Sherman, Sanford Geyer, Marshall Milner and John Clark. BIOLOGY CLUB The Biology Club is perhaps the oldest and most venerated association to hold meet- ings on the third floor. The annals from the club’s creation are still almost intact and many respected and now famous names have graced the dues-unpaid sheet. Until last year the club had had Mr. Baker as an advisor; Mr. Stuart has now replaced Mr. Baker who has retired. The club has provided many in- teresting hours on Thursday afternoon for its membership of about thirty-odd biology en- thusiasts. Field trips, outings, sewer trips and foster parents have been included in previous years. This year the club bought a star (Regulus which is 600 light years dis- tant, so start right away if you have inten- tions of inspecting your property) ; there have been movies and lectures, demonstra- tions and experiments. The A. P. Biology class under the direction of Mr. R. B. Laven- burg showed the club how blood is typed, complete with a demonstration of blood let- ting (Donald Mastronarde has the same blood type as his brother and both stopped bleeding the next morning). The Biology Club has served as a tangible -experience for young biologists who have a sincere de- sire in furthering their interests and sup- plementing their studies. The executive board is considering the acquisition of some py- rranah for next year.

Formed by the efforts of the city manager in conjunction with the Board of Education, the Hartford Junior City Council was first organized in 1949- It is a body of representative high school youths, who are elected by their peers after a surprisingly competitive election campaign and an elimination primary. Candidates run on a well prepared platform which is presented to the voters by means of a cam- paign assembly. Altogether, there are fifteen members on the Council who are expected to function as a unit, not as mem- bers of individual schools. Although considered more or less as an advisory body, they have accomplished several note- worthy achievements this year including the exemption of final examinations, Teachers’ Day and Charter Revision. As unbiased youth, the opinions of JCC are candid, unprejudiced,, and unsolicited. Politics is an interesting game, somewhat resembling rugby. 18 DRAMATICS CLUB There’s a rehearsal tonight and you have a mark- ing period test to study for and a composition to write. But onward you trudge because the play is in three weeks, and the third act is still a mystery. Mr. DeBonis, the quiet man with a pipe, again managed to shape up a great group of thespians. The Dramatics Club has outdone all previous accomplish- ments with this year’s productions of Dino,” a tape, Breakthrough,” a short play, and Alas Babylon,” its major endeavor. FOREIGN POLICY ASSOCIATION: Front of car — Joseph Waxman, Di- ane Stamm, Nathan Schor, Sharon Resnick, David Goldberg, and Mr. Ames (advisor). Behind car — Lynette Tobias, Barbara Sherman, Mark Kurtz, Bill Leiken, Larry Tellar, and Louis Berens. FOREIGN POLICY ASSOCIATION This year the members of the Foreign Policy Association spent an educational” week-end in New York, attending a mock session of the United Nations. The activities of the club are aimed at familiarizing students with the respon- sibilities of the United Nations and awakening members to their duties as citizens. To accom- plish these goals, the F.P.A. has sponsored many stimulating discussion groups as well as several informative speakers. DRAMATICS CLUB (from left to right): Karen Eager, Shirlee Goldstein, Joyce Siegel, Paula Slutsky, Rosanne Druckman, Davida Novarr, Robert Wolberg, Robert Gilman and Susan Goldman. 19 BAND OFFICERS (from left to right): Brian Windmuller, Robert Tru- deau, John Aniello and Arnold Segal. THE BAND, CHOIR, AND ORCHESTRA For students who require little sleep, the band, the orchestra, and the choir offer a stirring course in get-here-at-8:00 A.M. or else!” These three organizations are the backbone of Weaver’s music department and the center of activity for enthusiastic musicians. Exchange concerts, Christ- mas and spring assemblies, oratorios, and divi- sional concerts, are all planned by the early morning set. The band starts off its season by marching valiantly down the football field in flashy green uniforms. They brave the wind and cold to add color to football games and rallies. The orchestra is heard at assemblies, Class Night, and occasions which call for fine music. The choir mingles voices with other schools to per- form oratorios, but most of the time they sing for the sheer pleasure of pleasing their audience. MOST MUSICAL: Barbara Shainess and Michael Thomas CHOIR (from left to right): Julia Scott, Rochelle Town- send, Hattie Wright, Elsie Fischer, Rosemary Johnson, Mrs. Elizabeth Martin (director), Pauline Hebert, Shirley Morris, Rickey Reed, Alfred Lambert, Hope Marquis, Faith Mar- quis, Peggy Walker, John Smith, Barbara Sbainess, Marjorie Basch, Joseph Waxman, and Michael Thomas. ORCHESTRA OFFICERS (from left to right) : Jeff Bak- er, Linda Spanier, Barbara Shainess and Marjorie Basch. MODERN SINGING GROUP ( left to right) : Standing — Robert Wolberg, Seth Nussbaum, Steven Kramer. Kneeling — Jesse Goldstein, Larry Jainchall. Seated: Mr. Fritz Tietze (advisor). MODERN SINGING GROUP The Modern Singing Group is a group of modern young men who like to sing, under pres- sure. The pressure is caused mostly by the cramped working conditions of the bookstore which are imposed on the stout-hearted members. Under the direction of Mr. Fritz Tietze, who in his own right is an excellent tenor and a jazz pianist, the group works out harmonies and sings them. Their first professional performance was at Weaver Night with their rendition of How High The Moon.” The club is a welcome addition to the humdrum existence of songless days. 21 JUNIOR RED CROSS (left to right): Row 1 — Larry Jain- chall, Paul Michelson and An- drea Margolis. Row 2 — Allan KannofF, Barbara Strickland, Faith Marquis, Ginnette Gos- selin, Hope Marquis, Simone Goldman and Seth Nussbaum. Row 3 — Sydney Burstein. THE A.V.A. SQLIAD: Row 1 — Melvin Kopel, Jonnell Johnson, and Louis Berens. Second row — David Baker (co-captain), Jesse Goldstein, David Krumholz and Richard Siedman. Back — Vernon Baisden (captain). A.V.A. This year, Weaver’s Audio-Visual Squad gained official membership in the School Projection Club of America. The members of the squad give up their study halls and other free time to assist with the various duties of the Audio-Visual Aides Department, which include operating equipment and engineering the technical work behind Weaver Night. Its activi- ties range from helping outside organizations who use the auditorium to acting as messengers for monthly fire drills. 22 WORK STUDY (from left to right): Pearl Brown, Mr. Ralph Worth (co-ordinator), Yvonne Morris, Susan Strong, Mary Ann Reliford, Connie Blackwell, Gerald Comtois, Billie Ware, and Frank Meynard. JUNIOR RED CROSS Inconspicuously, the Junior Red Cross holds its meet- ings and conducts its activities. Although they get little applause from the student body, they are necessary to Weaver life. Through their diligent efforts this year, the club members served their community by giving a successful party at Oak Hill School for the Blind, and organizing a school chest to be sent overseas. WORK STUDY The Work Study program gives many juniors and sen- iors a schedule of combined work and study. The stu- dents receive a full credit towards graduation for partici- pating in the job, part-time. They are dismissed from school early after finishing their subject classes and work in the afternoon. Coming home early, they have plenty of time for study. CHESS CLUB The silence of Room 338 is broken by a sharp shrill shout, Oh, did I blunder!’’ This is followed by the clatter of chess pieces knocked onto the floor by a sore loser. Then come the mock angry threats to a would-be kibitzer.” Anyone listening to these sights and sounds knows that the Weaver chess play- ers are playing the quiet, intellectual game of chess. THE CHESS CLUB (left to right): Paul Lubetkin, Sanford Geyer, Ginnette Gosselin, Jeannette Walker, Joe Toce, Carolyn Esky, Diane Michelson, Paul Michelson and Marianna Zamlauski. 23 Stand up straight, keep your feet on the ground, and keep smiling — we ' re getting our picture taken for the yearbook. If I close my eyes and wish real hard, maybe he will go away. Co-educational sit-in (non restrictive). 24 Ula Dodson contemplates existence. BEST DANCERS: Veronica Hall and Lorenzo Dunlap. DANCE TIME Nobody really knows which was more fun — the dances or the ingenious an- nouncements pleading, begging and be- seeching students to attend them. Three dances in one year was definitely a major breakthrough and a Weaver precedent. Needless to say the football players were home resting up and eating Her- shey bars while the T.D. Dance was being held. Those who managed to at- tend, however, probably won’t forget it. The winter dance, Weaver-A-Go-Go was highlighted by Bill Robbins (hmm!). Of course, there’s still a glint in April Vozollo’s eye after being crowned queen of the Valentine Dance. Actually the T.D. Dance, Weaver A- Go-Go and Valentine Dance were all highly successful. The clean-up com- mittee, as a matter of fact, is still work- ing! And Steven Daitch says to Gail Daitch, How many have you killed so far?” 25 Irma Faust wrote, sang, and played her own songs. MJB + eleven minus ten. The Dance Band minus John Aniello, ut mos est. Don ' t look now, but something is You really think we ought to go through with this?” I think I am going to have a convulsion!” What do you mean, you ' ve never heard of Beaverman?” Jack be nimble, Jack be stable, Jack jump over the bridge table. WEAVER NIGHT Was Weaver Night 66 born under an ill-fated star — a fantastic hex? Some say that it all started when the dates had to be switched, maneuvered and rechanged. But while the tapes broke and the micro- phones went dead, the cast performed with the poise and enthusiasm of professionals. Through their antics, Bob Gilman, Ken Demers, Joey Waxman and Glenn Fields helped to carry out the theme of Batman. The MJB + 1, the Cinders, Bar- bara Shainess and Irma Faust were some of the ex- cellent acts. It is true that Weaver Night was plagued with many unfortunate circumstances, but hexed? Never! Not with Bobby Wolberg as Master of Ceremonies. Bob, Weaver’s own Jerry Lewis, joked, fooled around, and kept the audience laughing until the end of the show ! The Uniques at dress rehearsal. 27 I wonder if it really squirts? A little pat-pat here, a little pat-pat there and a little pat-pat . . . Everybody passed ! ! ! There goes the garbage truck with my camera. 28 Come on ! Gee whiz ! Let me have my hat ! That ' s all right, young fella, I think I can make it from here. Honest, I was just sitting here and the money dropped into my hands! Hurry up and take the picture already ! 29 CHEERLEADERS For any girl interested in becoming a cheer- leader, the major qualifications are a loud yell, a peppy jump and plenty of poise. As one of the most popular groups in the school, the cheer- leaders produce spirit at all the games and rallies. Besides screaming the loudest for Weaver, they teach next year’s group to scream even louder. As a reward for their efforts, they all receive letters. We won ! ! ! Cisalee Shepherd Janice Ryles Natalie Boynton 31 A BASKETBALL Matthews gives the instruction, It’s all yours, Jewett, take it away.” Weaver High School is justly proud of its basketball team. Through hard work, determination, and courage, this team, ranked ninth place, missed snatching the state title by one basket. Weaver started the season by winning eleven straight games. New Britain, Notre Dame of West Haven, and Bulkley fell by the wayside under Weaver’s explosive attack. Then it happened; the Weaverites lost to Bulkley, Wilbur Cross, and Hartford but, despite these losses, ended the season with an outstanding record of 17-4. Weaver was ranked ninth in tournament action. In the first game they matched against Hartford High School, ranked second in tournament play, and all of the sports experts predicted that Weaver was going to get a royal lambasting. During the first half of the game the green and white was down by 13 points. Things looked dim, but the tide slowly turned until, at the game’s end, the score read Weaver — 78, HPHS — 66. With this push behind them the team swept through Notre Dame of Bridgeport and Bridgeport Central to reach the final championship game. The Beavers played a great game, not trying to outsmart Cross with speed, and attained a four-point lead during the last quarter. It was only through luck that Cross was able to steal the championship title from the Beavers by two points. BASKETBALL TEAM (from left to right): Mr. Frank Scelza (coach).

FOOTBALL This year’s season has been rewarding to all the football players. Winning most of the games, the players have had very good support from the crowds. This was the third year in a row that they ran over Hartford High School during the Annual Thanks- giving Day Game to win the City Title and many other rewards. This is the second year in a row that Roy Monroe was named the Most Valuable Player of the Year for his outstanding performance at the Thanksgiv- ing Day Game. Every one is very proud of their courageous efforts to get out there and fight for their school; these gridders will never be forgotten. You can t stop me! George Hardway outsmarts them all. Roy Monroe in excellent performance. Oh, come on, boys! Roy Monroe and Kenny Carter accept their awards for outstanding play. f f j iJKm A jjgHFj ' jl (VhI i oLmHIv H ’ — j I . � BjBF vtt J j l; THE LETTER CLUB (from left to right): Row 1 — Rufus Wells, Gerald Bonadies, Lucky Smith, Javis Holiday, Glenn Fields, Ken Demers, April Vozzolo and Mr. Clifford.

LETTER CLUB The Letter Club, because it is open to male Weaverites who have won letters in a varsity sport and who maintain good grades, is Weaver’s prestige club. Among their activities, is that of selling programs and cokes at the Weaver games. They also show sports movies, hold a banquet in June, and, most important of all, go on an outing with the Girls Leader Corps. SKI CLUB The Ski Club, under the guidance of the skiing fiend, Mr. Gil Glundesprukt Stuart, has had a memorable history. The backbone of the club are the up-tight senior members who have been active for four years. Each week a red convertible and or the Batmobile journeys to snow country and anyone recognizing the red Alus or blue Kastle’s or new Greasy Figs will immediately know that the intrepid fanatics have returned. The prowess of the members on the slopes are of varying degrees. To date there is one expert, one poor expert (very poor), a smattering of advanced intermediates, and one human refrigerator. Always welcomed by the lift attendant, the skiers faithfully recite the time-worn phrase, One child, all lifts, all day. I was born in 1951 and I am 14 years old.” The Ski Club has traveled widely throughout Vermont, skiing most of the well known areas as well as the high spot of the eastern ski world, Mt. Tom. The five hard core members have come through relatively unscathed, although it has been touch and go — mostly go. THE SOCCER TEAM (from left to right): David Gordon, Ted Mousterakis, Orlando Ferreira, Rubin Fischer, V incent Greaves, and Jeff Andrews. 36 ARCHERY CLUB This year the Archery Club en- larged its membership as well as its program of activities. The biggest innovation is the fact that the Arch- ery Club is now co-ed. Despite the fact that each member is not a Rob- in Hood or a William Tell, the Archery Club is an enthusiastic group. 1 _ !

Back row — Linnell Nesmith, Susan Pennington, Anita Lazer, Cisalee Shepherd, Mrs. Strong, Mrs. Diaz, Ginnette Gosselin, Dolores Hudson, Laura Brown and Ula Dodson. GIRLS’ LEADER CORPS A very active organization, the Girls’ Leader Corps, is comprised of those girls who have pride in what they do, leadership ability and ambition. These girls are especially interested in the athletics program and are given a chance to do advanced work in connection with various features of the Physical Education De- partment. Each week the girls attend regular meetings to help prepare them to teach the gym classes. Each year the girls sell stationery and Christmas cards the proceeds of which go to a scholarship fund which is awarded to a worthy senior member of the Girls’ Leader Corps. This year the girls have partici- pated in both volleyball and basketball games with Hartford and Bulkley High Schools, taking first prize in the basketball contests. Climaxing this year’s activi- ties, the Girls’ Leader Corps joined the Letter Club in an outing. DANCE CLUB Each year the talent is better, the cos- tumes are wilder and the girls get prettier. The student body has never ceased to be amazed when those seemingly quiet young ladies from the Dance Club perform at Weaver Night. In addition to participating in Weaver Night this year, the club has also entertained at a local grammar school and taken part in a master dance class. 38 Harvey Kelly and Robert Grisovich at the East Hartford track meet. BOYS’ LEADER CORPS The highly elite Boys’ Leader Corps have entertained many times during the half- times at the basketball games by desperately trying to jump over a horse and ten men with a midget on the bottom. Supervised by Mr. Wilson, the members come to school early to perfect their gymnastic drills on the horse, parallel bars, and trampoline. DANCE CLUB AT WEAVER NIGHT ( left to right) : Ula Dodson, Sandra James, Robenia Claitty, Carmen Francis and Agnes Patterson. 39 THE SPRINGING SPRING SPORTS When the days become longer, hotter, and much more trying, members of the base- ball, golf, tennis, track and cross-country teams begin their games. As soon as the equipment and uniforms are unpacked, they are out on the field or running around the park getting in shape for a glorified season. This year a freshman baseball team was or- ganized in addition to the Varsity and J.V. teams. All the teams had a very successful season. CROSS COUNTRY TEAM (left to right): First row — Lennie Westberry, Gregory Craddock, Bill St. John and Sylvester Douglas. Second row — Bruce Dublin, Charles Smith, Frank Palmer, Robert Grisovich and Larry Williams. THE TENNIS TEAM: Mr. Straite, Brian Sullivan, Bill Leiken and Steven Rosenthal. 40 GOLF TEAM (left to right): Allan Finster, Joseph Waxman, Vernon Shelton and Alan Dobzinsky. Over hill, over dale as we hit the dusty trail . . . THE RIFLE CLUB The Weaver Rifle Club, the new- est addition to Weaver’s extra cur- ricular activities, uses the Hartford armory in the winter and the Glas- tonbury rifle range in the spring, to give Weaver students the chance to learn the safe use of the rifle. Through competition with other schools, everyone except the targets is pleased with the results. ■rfrffciitfBir Hi -Si W K jsr ' ' BASEBALL TEAM (left to right): First Row — Nolan Lewis, Steven Harris, Luther Smith, Ken Carter, and Joe Greene.

CLASS OFFICERS: Steven Guttenplan, April Vozzolo, Bruce Fox (sitting), Joseph Waxman, Pat Wood, Judith Kroopneck, Glenn Fields, (above), Sharon Francis, Margie Basch and Donald Mastronarde. CLASS OFFICERS Rosemary Minyard and Peter Katz called mere existence a phantasma. Sharon Francis and Pat Wood lamented about facing an audience. Rufus Wells had to be persuaded not to do a hundred yard dash down the aisle, and Donald Mas- tronarde had to be convinced not to write his speech about thermodynamics. But through it all, Bruce Fox, our calm and collected class president, stated regularly that it was all bound to work out. None of the officers will ever forget the questions, bullying and demands made to them by anxious seniors. Why can’t the reception be at Hotel America? We’re going to Lake George for the outing, aren’t we? If you say anything the least bit offensive about me at Class Night, I warn you, I’ll sue.” Somehow our class officers have boldly managed to endure all the hardships and traumas involved with making the out- ing, the Senior Reception, Class Night and all the other senior activities a success. As a matter of fact, they have already started planning for our first reunion ! 46 MOST VERSATILE: Kenny Carter and Ula Dodson. MOST SERVICE TO WEAVER: Alvin Berkon and Rosemary Minyard.

From the very beginning, our months were far from com- monplace. For ten days in October, we walked slowly to school, because we weren’t entirely sure whether we would be here to get there. All of us were forced to re-evaluate our goals, as we tensely sat just a negligible distance away from the possible initiation of a thermonuclear war in Cuba. This was to set the tone for our following years at Weaver. Along with our usual cipher-attracting antics, we were to experience the added burden of being frustrated youth. We were all ecstatic when this head- line appeared in the Lookout : Board of Education Approves Plans for School Addition and Improvements. The additions were to include a much needed health suite, swimming pool, physical education lecture room and expansion of building space to allow the capacity of students to increase to sixteen hundred; it was scheduled for completion in 1966. An architect was commissioned to design the plans for the addition and toured the school to acquaint himself with some of our problems. The Board of Education, in a further gesture of good will, changed the Weaver district to relieve our school of a potential overflow of students. This was the year of the elephant (and bana na and pickle and electric grape) jokes, and when June stumbled in, we rode off into the dark- ening sunset. Our enlightened sophomore class marched in through all entrances still in practice from the march on Washington. The long hot summer brought clearly into focus the continuing struggle for civil rights. We at Weaver felt a particular commitment to equality as we had been exposed to brotherhood long before any doubts had arisen that it existed at all. As we returned to the safer, more relaxed atmosphere of school, attendance soared at football games as everybody went to laude our male cheer- leaders for their bravery and school spirit. With a little assistance from that infallible prophet Bob Steele, we emerged victorious from our Thanksgiving Day skirmish. Our very own Weaver bookstore, which had been cleverly disguised as a cloakroom, was taken out from under wraps and given an opportunity to educate the eager Weaver beavers. And then there was the problem of a budget and each student contributed his share and either used half a straw, a community straw, brought his own straw, or used a glass. Next came that bright spot in the middle of a dull week — Wednesday Dress-Up Day (DUD)- — when boys were sup- posed to wear shoes and socks. Mr. Coracci was delighted and remarked . . . even the cafeteria looked clean. Our sophomore year initiated the two-performance Weaver Night, which proved to be a big success along with the Dramatic Club production of The D ary of Anne Frank, a truly outstanding performance. This year, however, was overshadowed by the untimely and incomprehensible death of President John F. Ken- nedy. Each student had to contend with the overwhelming sense of per- sonal sadness as well as the immediate loss of a great leader and a greater man. The return of the native commenced in September from such pleasant 86 haunts as Ocean Beach, Sound View and Hammonassett. As intelligent juniors we calmly faced the horrendous discovery that we were lower upperclassmen. To add to our already increasing incredulity was the arduous task of selecting class rings (onyx or gold, ’66 or ’67). As we proceeded to take over the school, we found it might take longer than we anticipated. For one thing, conditions were crowded; it was difficult to maintain decorum with one hundred and four students in a homeroom during a flu epidemic. 1965 — the year of the safari, as juniors hacked their way through seventeen hundred students in three minutes. And then the usual: Girls’ League Mother-Daughter Spaghetti Dinner, Junior Tea, Junior Prom (the best ever, rah rah Class of ’66), American History class trip to Washington, the Midwinter Dance, Merit Exams, city champion- ship (football), C.D.C. city series title (basketball), and it’s not whether you win but how you play the game in baseball, Mr. Churchman (usual???), College Boards, Junior Achievement, Junior Underachieve- ment, and the Board of Education still approving plans for school addi- tion and improvements. School got out sometime in early July and as we left in the warm sunshine we prayed ferverently that maybe 1966 would bring a snowday. Lassie came home with a better-here-then-in-Viet Nam attitude in September, and the seniors proceeded to go ape in the usual manner. In submission to the going fad, the school went Thomas Snell Weaver A-Go-Go with real live records and a very expensive master of cere- monies. Tentative college plans became definite choices and the pressure turned on. Scads of eager beavers were determined to undermine the business world and began job prospecting. In between exams, homework and applications, the prolific senior class found time to turn out two Merit Finalists, elect an all senior JCC delegation, have another dance or three, win the Thanksgiving Day game and overrun the clubroom. Christ- mas was a chilly 76°F, and Santa waterskiied over Connecticut. Our bas- ketball team, after finally winning a game from our strong junior varisty, had a most successful season. The Portal violently and valiently struggled to pull itself together, avoiding deadlines and angry faculty members and inflicting irreparable memories on the dedicated, enslaved staff. Going to school became similar to the mail, no matter what the weather we had to get through, knowing that somewhere, sometime, there must be a snow- day. A new champion appeared on the scene and we all felt just a little safer knowing Batman and the Boy Wonder were zipping around on their batpoles. Spring sprang and not soon enough for a weary senior class. Long nails went out of style as anxious seniors awaited long overdue notifications: Finally the dawn, and among a ream of acceptances and rejections our senior counselors consoled, cajoled and prevented numerous injuries of the dismembered students. Unbelievingly, one morning we awoke to the startling realization that we were graduating that afternoon, and an unforgettable Class Night and Senior Reception had already passed. Towards the end of our high school careers, it became apparent that most of us had progressed from the precocious, mature young adults of our freshman year to graduate as humble, sophisticated children, leaving our sandbox and seesaws in the shade. 87 ff f In ?� s f ■ • In :• : I! ' r f •! THE CONNECTICUT BANK AND TRUST COMPANY creating a better world for tomorrow . . . V • ft J ft MR. EZRA MELROSE, Principal. In the darkened recesses of the lobby lie the three offices of Weaver’s administration. One office shelters our principal, Mr. Ezra Melrose, who is busy checking umpteen calendar dates and concerning himself with the practical and financial side of Weaver’s education. Yet, Mr. Melrose always seems to have time to observe students in their studies or to counsel a troubled senior. He takes a special interest in the welfare of the individual, especially in his plans after graduation. An effective speaker at numerous assemblies and programs, he has given many students new ideas about careers and colleges. It is not surprising that Mr. Melrose is the first person with whom the graduates return to renew old acquaintances. Walking a few steps from the huge unbroken-into-vault containing Weaver’s archives, Mr. Nicholas Coracci is on display in his office with two entrances, a good way and a not-so-good way. Familiar to all as Weaver’s own Dickie Robinson, Mr. Coracci gave up a promising radio career to serve Weaver as official P.A. disk-jockey as an extra- curricular activity. Mr. Coracci occasionally disciplines a few students who have strayed from the straight and narrow. His other part-time jobs include selling candy at basketball games, checking passes, proc- toring the waves and being one of the three amiable administrators whom Weaver is fortunate to have. Directly across from the hanging (portrait) of Thomas Snell Weaver, alias Mark Twain, is a small glass-paned door with auto- matic shades. This is the abode of Miss Anita K. Roche. In her capaci- ty as Dean, Miss Roche is instrumental in college and career planning for graduating seniors. As faculty advisor to the Student Council, she keeps well informed of problems currently besetting the student body. Industrious and understanding, her candid advice is invaluable. The Class of 1966 extends its deep appreciation to her for helping to make its four years at Weaver a memorable experience. 90 Mr. Melrose congratulates a new student Council member at induction ceremonies. Miss Anita K. Roche talks to Bruce Fox at Weaver A-Go-Go. Mr. Nicholas Coracci, Vice-Principal: view from a good way.” 91 Always willing to help, Miss Roche keep: informed about the students. Members of the English Department: (left to right) Mr. Robert Twiss (chairman), Mr. Albert DeBonis, Mrs. Maxine Glassman, Miss Eluned Roberts, Mr. Eliot Larrabee, Mrs. Susan Losee, Mr. John Hendsey, Mr. William Pickens, Mr. Fritz Tietze, Mr. Paul Eukers, Miss Gatherine Bailey, Mr. Ernest Cermola (reading consultant), Miss Lucy Sullivan (librarian), Mrs. Mary-Francis Hennessy, Miss Kathleen Gallagher, Mr. Richard Pierce. Mrs. Cermola, Mrs. Twiss, Mr. Twiss, and Mr. Cermola get together at Mr. Twiss’s home. Mr. Devine conducts an in- formal discussion with his senior class. 92 ROOM ,i A JHB THE MERITS OF ENGLISH A fantastic voyage with Odysseus, a comical romp with Tom Sawyer, a trip to Strat- ford — all of these take place during Weaver English classes. But this last journey to Stratford is real and not experienced by reading a book. English students look forward to the annual trip to the Shakespearean Festival, not only as a way to miss a school day, but also as an enjoyable educational experience. Members of the department have planned a program of culture through informal discussions of interesting topics. Scope magazine, the Scholastic Bookshelf, revised book lists, and special conferences with instructors aid the programs of many students. A well-equipped library gives students the opportunity to indulge in outside reading and research. A reading program to aid college-bound students to increase their reading abilities was initiated in 1965 for juniors and seniors. Many students attained prolific reading speeds and better comprehension resulting in the expansion of the program into other divisions. English has been an invaluable course to all and the proof is in the outstanding stories, poems, and essays from the chewed pens of students who won recognition in the Scholastic Writing Contest. So why are so many comic books read in study halls? 93 Members of the History Department: (standing) Mrs. Shirley Levine, Mrs. Mari- lyn Schwedel, Mr. George Thomas, Mr. Ernest Colquette, Mr. Edward Knurek, Mr. Bradford Ames, Mr. Alan Mooney, (sitting) Mrs. Mimi Kaufman, Miss Mary MacDonnell (chairman of the department), Mrs. Mary Heslin, Mrs. Gloria Garilli. Miss MacDonnell serves coffee at a department meeting. All my kids flunked,” sighs Mr. Ames. Miss MacDonnell lectures and shows slides during Negro History Week. All my kids passed!” ex- claims Mr. Colquette. YESTERDAY, TODAY, AND TOMORROW Was Louis XIV really great? When was the Peace of Paris? What is a pocket veto? Students are continually bombarded by such ques- tions in their history classes. Hopefully by the end of four years, pupils have successfully decided, however, that history is far more than simply a disjointed myriad of facts. The loud speaker calls out, Will all history classes report to Room 300 today.’’ Movies and film strips are frequently used to supplement the curriculum. Miss Mary C. MacDonnell, the walking wizard of his- tory and head of the department, strongly believes in supplementing the text in any way possible. The department, including modern, European, American, and world history, social studies, civics and democracy, is quite diverse in scope. Discussing anything from the John Birch Society to the Neanderthal man in classes, history has always proved awakening. It might havq something to do with the fiendish delight of history teachers for the surprise quiz. In conclusion, is it perhaps possible that finals are UNCONSTITU- TIONAL? 95 FOLLOW THAT GUIDANCE COUNSELOR! Weaver’s Guidance Department provides experienced assist- I ance to students in personality adjustments and readjustments, academic decisions and career information through neatly filed college catalogues and job bulletins. The guidance staff, headed by Miss Donna Adcock, is comprised of seven dedicated coun- ' selors who, working within matchbox quarters, deal with re- quests ranging from the sublime to the ridiculous. Seniors find the guidance offices an excellent refuge from study halls providing Mrs. Caserella is tied up in paper work. Mr. Thomas may be found reading his Bible or pronouncing the dreaded curse of Go away, child! every period except during the daily afternoon waves. Snowed with college and job applica- c tions, the senior counselors have held up admirably. Miss DeBartolo has unselfishly given her time to the girls to discuss many of their problems. Combining a realistic approach with the idealistic attitude of most seniors, Mr. Thomas has succeeded in gaining the respect and admiration of the fel- lows for the same reason. Another unique feature of the guidance office is the cata- logue shelves and the new set of instructions which are plas- tered on every available (and unavailable) space: Colleges want neat people who can follow directions; Big Brother is watching you !” Miss Donna Adcock, director of the Guidance Department. Miss Belisle, please watch 96 How do you think you can get anywhere with these marks. ' ' asks Mr Shea. Mrs. Caserella is kept busy with paper work. what I’m doing, pleads Mr. Holland. Miss Debartolo and Mr. Thomas check on senior applications. 97 98 Mr. Frank Mancuso, Mrs. Ionis Martin and Mr. John Preu demonstrate the block printing press for Derrick Matthews. FOREIGN LANGUAGE, ART, AND MUSIC Although English is the most widely spoken language in the world, there are some advantages in taking a foreign language even if your plans do not include becoming an expert in the field of linguistics. Imagine yourself, a marine landing on the shore of Cuba and encountering a group of Cubans waving their guns, run- ning straight towards you and shouting. Are they saying, We are on your side,” or Get the Yankee!” A little knowl- edge of Spanish could save your life. Or you ' re on a crowded street in France, knowing only the words merci and bonjour, speaking to a Frenchman who doesn’t know any English and you’re getting nervous trying to get directions to a rest room. Therefore, if you’re going to travel, voluntarily or not, knowledge of another language is very helpful. Art and music are just as important as language for the transmission of ide as to different cultures. Mr. John Preu and Mrs. Elizabeth Martin have tried to broaden the courses in- volving the fine arts and encourage more students to take them. The biggest innovation in the art curriculum is Mr. Preu’s long desired academic art course. Designed for stu- dents with a diverse interest in art, the course has proven to be quite enjoyable. Anyone who has been flagged down by a fellow classmate to buy at least two boxes of peti -fours knows how much the band, orchestra, and choir depend on their sale. The money received is used to rent buses to transport these organizations to the many festivals that they attend. Each year, outstanding musicians from Weaver have been chosen to participate in many festivals, including the Connecticut All-State Music Festival, giving future musicians the opportunity to perform. Rise and shine, the sun never shines without rising! exclaims Mr. Joseph Hilbert. Members of the Language Department: (standing) Mr. Joseph Eugenie Cesna, and Miss Frances Mullans (Chairman of the Hilbert, Mr. Robert Italia, Mr. John Hendsey, Mr. Fritz Tietze; department). (sitting) Mrs. Regina Mitnick, Mrs. Sharon Van Hoek, Miss 99 Mr. Frank Steeves explains the basics of printing. Javis Holliday straightens out a problem 100 with the help of Mr. Robert Clark. BUSINESS, INDUSTRIAL ARTS, For the student whose plans do not include college, Weaver’s vocational education program provides practical job training and domestic instruction. The Industrial Arts curriculum includes printing, engraving, woodworking and mechanical drawing. Future craftsmen gain invalu- able experience as they turn out library passes, cipher slips and demerit offense forms in addition to tables. A rela- tively new course, automotive mechanics, has been added to the already extensive program. Occupying three rooms on the top floor, the Home Economics Department puts young ladies through dry Members of the Business Department: (standing) Mr. Johr Szandrocha, Miss Jayne Mazner, Mrs. Elaine Taylor, (sitting!

HOME ECONOMICS run capers as they expectantly await the wet ones. Cook- ing, sewing, fashion designing and how to live among your neighbors peacefully are invaluable in today’s chang- ing society. Down on Madison Avenue, future employers are anxi- ously awaiting the arrival of the junior executives, buyers and merchandisers from Mr. Joseph P. Dougherty’s Busi- ness Department. Locked in the rooms on the first floor are thousands of dollars worth of the newest equipment, including typewriters, dictaphones, adding machines and computors. The goal today is sixty words a minute. Mr. Howard Hill, Industrial Arts Department Chairman. Members of the Home Economics Department: Miss Mari Ferlini and Mrs. Elizabeth Gammons.

Ronner. 102 IN EVERY NOOK AND CRANNY Weaver is a well-functioning and efficient unit, educa- ting over fifteen-hundred students. In front of the well- worn desks are the teachers who face their students each day. However, there is another aspect, perhaps less con- spicuous but of equal importance. Behind the walls in cubby-hole offices, pounding typewriters, slaving over hot stoves, pushing computor buttons, and controlling wild projectors, are the unsung heros of Weaver life. The Audio-Visual Department, under the effective guidance of Mr. John Szandrocha, besides keeping the history cur- riculum progressing, is entirely responsible for the sound track of that award winning series, Weaver Night. The value of the dedicated cafeteria staff is best expressed during our fourth period ocean voyage. Each wave is given equal consideration and well-balanced sea-sickness is the ultimate goal. Work Training is a boom to the Board of Education as it supplies them with clerical help, lab aides and typists. Work Study differs from Work Training in that the students work for private industry rather than for the city, acquiring valuable experience in various employments. The nurse is responsible for keep- ing classrooms free from contagious rieases but must advise each student to please bring his own aspirins. The secretaries, who are on display in the glass-enclosed office from 8:00-4:00, work diligently to keep the paperwork from piling up and creating a fire hazard. They also are responsible for the prompt mailing of report cards and warning slips. 103 Mr. Edward Knurek and Mr. Ernest Bottom- ley keep close watch on the play. PHYSICAL EDUCATION This year the Physical Education Department has started a strenuous body-building program. The boys’ gym teachers have chosen the year 1965-66 to display the discipline of drill ser- geants. Build ’em or bust ’em is the attitude, as they start with fifty push-ups, two hundred squat- jumps, two hundred and fifty sit-ups, and seven laps around the football field. After that little warm-up they proceed with calisthenics. With the shrill blast of the leader’s whistle, the girls hurry upstairs and begin their warm-up exercises. Exercises for the face, neck, arms, and legs and gymnastics for the whole body help combat the female’s problems which are quite diverse. Many girls have attained, outstanding skills in soccer, volleyball, basketball and base- ball. New programs such as the tri-high school volleyball tournament have been added as an extra-curricular activity. The physical education teachers have always been willing to help any student with a problem and have been dedicated in contributing to the development of the student’s mind as well as to his body. 104 i MATH DEPARTMENT Dynamic changes in the Math Department curriculum took place in 1966. Courses now vary so that they meet the needs of every student. Slide rules, colored chalk on graphs, and chewed pencils give the calculus and analytical geometry classes intellectual status. Audio-visual aid ma- terials involving math movies and transparencies shown in colored pencil act as help for the teachers. It is for these reasons the Mathematics Association of America and the Societies of Actu- aries have made awards for the department’s out- standing proficiency in the annual Mathematics Contest for Secondary Schools. Mr. Samuel Bronstein heads the Math Department. Members of the Physical Education Department: (from left to right) Mr. Frank Scelza, Mr. Philip Kearney, Mrs. Aida Diaz, Mrs. Marilyn Strong and Mr. Colin Wilson. It’s how you play the game that counts. 105 “DON’T DESPAIR, USE YOUR HEAD AND SAVE YOUR HAIR” Whenever there is a smell wafting down the third floor corridors, you can be sure that Weaver’s brave scientists are at work. Formaldehyde is usually ac- companied by the biology instructor’s comforting comment, Don’t be afraid to touch it, it’s already dead.’’ If it is rotten eggs or ammonia floating through the air, you can bet the chemists are at it again, trying to carry out their assigned experiments and still leave the laboratory intact for the succeed- ing classes. Then there’s physics with Mr. Merrill P. Davis’s sensitive generator in the subterranean depths, Old Reliable’’ itself, and physiology, the subject with a skeleton in its closet. All these courses are calculated to give surviving students a good foundation in the modern and interesting world of science. The members of the Science Department (left to right): Mr. Spencer Schaller, Miss Rose Paternostro, Mr. Merrill Davis, and Miss Elizabeth Sawyer (head of the department). 106 Mr. Gilbert Stuart and Mr. Lee Parandes. Mr. Lavenburg demonstrates how to take blood pressure in a physiology class.

Many thanks are due to Miss Gallagher, Mr. Alibrio, and Mr. Jack Brown, the represen- tative of O’Toole and Sons, for their unself- ish work and never-ending patience with everyone. In addition, I would like to thank the many businessmen who offered financial support, especially Mr. Robert Lord of The Travelers Insurance Company, Mr. Russell Noyes of The Phoenix Mutual Life Insur- ance Company, and Mr. Fred Kacynski of The Connecticut Bank and Trust Company who were instrumental in making the duo- tone dividers possible. It is my sincere hope that this book sym- bolizes and highlights the best year the Class of 19 66 ever lived.
