Although Weaverites with spirit wore many tags and pins, including one which said, “Beat H.P.H.S.,” the favorite button of them all was a round, green and white one which boasted, “Weaver High is Mel¬ low.” This song, chanted at all of the foot¬ ball and basketball games, caught on as the key phrase of Weaver life. On the light side, Weaver High is mellow simply because it is made up of mellow people who prefer the soul music of James Brown, Aretha Franklin and the Tempta¬ tions to the psychedelic effects of the Beatles, Rolling Stones and the Strawberry Alarm Clock. More importantly, however, Weaver is mellow because its students have worked this past year to be winners, not just in sports where players carry home heavy trophies, but in the most difficult area of all, understanding. From the neighborhood riots of September, to the threatened walk-out in February and a predicted long, hot summer in June, Weaverites faced breakdowns in communi¬ cation. But Weaver, unlike other schools in similar situations, sat down to study itself, to define its problems and come up with answers and fast action. The most valuable result, overwhelmingly approved by the student body, was the creation of a thirteen member Human Relations Board which gave Weaverites a voice in their own affairs and a means to solve their prob¬ lems. It is a unique solution, it comes from the students themselves, and belongs only to Weaver. The theme of the 1968 PORTAL is “Weaver High is Mellow” because this short phrase contains everything which is really important to W eaver. School spirit is at its height in sports. Weaverites, some in their state championship football jackets, rise up to cheer Weaver at the first Weaver- Hartford High basketball game.

The first sign that things were changing was ap¬ parent on the first day of school when Weaverites, returning in their new clothes from a summer of fun, found that the building had been redecorated over the vacation. The old, long cafeteria tables had been replaced by smaller, walnut finished tables which accommodated four students. Clock¬ watchers immediately realized that the clocks had been synchronized, and the near-sighted ones were delighted to find that Arabic numbers had replaced Roman numerals. Al¬ though a fresh coat of paint brightened the rooms and halls considerably, Beavers knew that beneath it all, Weaver was just as mellow as ever. In addition to keeping track of the scheduling office which seemed to jump from room to room, Weaverites had to learn to keep track of the days of the week as an activity period was added to Wednesday’s schedule to give Student Council and other clubs a chance to meet. Weeks passed, however, before hungry Beavers stopped yelling, “Lunch time! ' ’ only to learn that it was Wednesday and they were nineteen min¬ utes early. Life became impossible for Weaverites who were accus¬ tomed to travel through the halls without a pass as the monitors appeared to insist on law and order. Suggested by the students themselves, the monitor squad was formed so that responsible and respected Weaverites could help in the or¬ derly management of the school. The monitors, wearing green armbands, stayed by their posts during class periods to control hall traffic. A visit to the book store is part of the day for Sheila Guter, Deborah Lewis and Gabrielle Perry, helped by Stephanie Nicholas. Dances are an important part of Weaver. Cheryl Weisman, Stephen Rosenthal, Phil Morgan and Jackie Maclin enjoy the Junior Prom. 8 Cafeteria lounge, early dismissals end study blues As the school year progressed, students found that it was not just the small details of Weaver life which were different but that some major changes were underway as well. Seniors who cursed the computer in September for giving them a sixth period study hall learned to love it during the winter when a new privilege went into effect. According to the ruling, upperclassmen with a sixth period study hall were allowed to go home at the end of the fifth period. This released many seniors, let¬ ting them go to their part-time jobs earlier, to go home or to use the extra time in any other way they wished. The second major change of policy was instituted in the last few months of the school year. In the philosophy that students should decide how to use their own free time, upperclassmen were exempt from the second and third period study halls and allowed to use the cafeteria area for recreational purposes during the morning. Seniors left their studies, visited with their friends and generally relaxed before going on to their next classes. Since the cafeteria lounge was for the students, the mem¬ bers of the Human Relations Board arrived at their own principles of conduct, and students held themselves re¬ sponsible for seeing that these were upheld. hile not all periods were affected because of practical difficulties, many seniors were able to take advantage of the plan with its additional freedom. No one can say that Weaver is the same school this June that it was in September. The student s life changed as some of its pressures were removed; his role in school became clearer through dialogues and discussions. While Weaver was mellow last fall. Weaver is even more mellow this spring. 9 1 Activities Activities came alive this year and proved that Weaver is mellow as more stu¬ dents than ever took part in the extra¬ curricular side of school life. Weaverites with imagination created new clubs and, at the same time, gave a fresh, exciting look to the old ones. From the formation of clubs such as CTP to the new programs of the long established Girls’ League, stu¬ dents found many more organizations to join. In sports, Weaver was champion, giving boys with athletic ability a chance to play on outstanding teams against other fine teams in the state, particularly in the Capitol District Conference. The afternoon dance, one innovation used by several groups, let Beavers have fun together after a day of study. The Boys’ Club sponsored one in the fall, CTP and the Booster Club at Christmas-time, and the seniors in January. Combined with fashion shows, sports movies, wig demon¬ strations, field trips and other events, the clubs drew new strength and new members.

Left: Danielle Dion and Yolanda Owens spena free periods cutting out decorations for the Valen¬ tine Dance. Enthused Weaverites applaud new clubs During a session of the English Discussion Group, Mrs. Hennessey, Charles Lieberman and Sheila Long comment on a record of Negro history. One of the most exciting aspects of the past year was the founding of new clubs. Three of these, the Contempo¬ rary Club, the English Discussion Group, and the Girls’ Drill Team, were particularly successful in attracting students, many of whom had not pre¬ viously been interested in extra¬ curricular activities. CTP, the largest group, gave stu¬ dents of all levels and interests a chance to talk with each other. Advised by Mrs. Mary Gilbertson, the club sponsored dialogues, published a mag¬ azine and sponsored an afternoon Sock Hop for charity. In the English Discussion Group, students discussed topics ranging from economics to racial problems. The Girls’ Drill Team, in plaid skirts and green berets, built up school pride. Captained by Paulette Bush and Ivett Spence, the girls combined jazz dancing with precision marching. The Girls’ Drill Team includes (Front Row) Amanda Dumas, Adonica Johnson, Rosalind Stephenson, Paulette Bush, Cheryl Reynolds, Beverly Jones, Ivett Spence, Beverly Wilkinson, Frances Ellison, (Row 2) Roberta Kendrick, Barbara Jackson, Sonia Topper, Pauline Dawes, Michele Hughes, Sandra Ford, Velma Spence, Kathy McLachlan, (Row 3) Janie Tucker, Adele Booker, Deborah Smith, Celeste Stellmacher and Dorothy Wilkes. Hubert Powell draws a throng around him at the CTP Christmas Sock Hop. 12 13 Councils work out dramatic changes For the Student Council and Junior City Council, 1967-1968 was a year of exciting changes. The Student Council worked diligently to improve the school atmos¬ phere. By instituting the Monitor Squad, they tried to make it more orderly; by creating the Student Human Relations Board, they worked to make it more open; by sponsoring a fall stag dance, they hoped to make it more fun. The Junior City Council also initiated an important change. After circulating petitions, they received permission for seniors with sixth period studies to leave at the end of fifth period. Each of these changes should help to produce a more relaxed and productive school day.

Girls’ League members served as models at the special assembly while several football players stood in the background to add a fall touch. Lorrie Scott, the Student Fashion Co-ordinator for the show, made arrangements with Sage-Allen’s for each of the outfits worn by the models. In order to raise funds for its scholarship, the Boys’ Club, under Barry Feldman and with the help of Mr. Manns and Mr. Holton, continued the tradition of selling candy and sodas during the half-times of basketball and football games and peddling pencils with the football schedules printed on them. Undoubtedly, the greatest break from tradition for the two clubs came when they merged on two events. The first, held in October, was a record hop run after school. Student disc-jockeys took charge of announcing the records, taking dedications, and adding impromptu jokes. The second event, a Valentine’s Dance, drew sev¬ eral hundred students. Since it was Leap Year, there was nothing unusual about the girls inviting the boys. Illona Yousman was General Chairman for the dance; working with her were Delphine Dumas, hospitality, and Gloria Jones, publicity. Mary Ellen Cyr’s decoration committee cut out silhouettes for each couple and printed their names on them. The biggest attraction for the night, however, was Tony Bowen and the Soul Choppers who kept things moving. Both clubs, aiming their activities to appeal to the student body, had terrific turn-outs. Continuing in this direction, they will take their rightful place as two of the most popular groups in the school and attract large memberships. Winston Johnson and Eric Gray sell candy for the Boys’ Club scholarships. The Girls’ League Executive Board includes (Front Row) Terry Patterson, Angela Thomas, Victoria Washington, (Row 2) Debbie Yousman, Miss Mary Ellen Long, Miss Rachel Linden¬ thal, Peggy Erickson and Hazel Howard.

A newspaper is not only composed of reporters but also of typists, photogra¬ phers, cartoonists, and those with an eye for news. Led by Editor-in-Chief, Stuart Katz, the LOOKOUT provides a chance for all Weaver students to see their work in print, even if only in “Letters to the Editor.” To the student body, the LOOK¬ OUT has been a creative outlet, a source of information, and a means for com¬ munication. Sometimes it even becomes a sturdy bookcover. For the staff, it has been a chance to learn the rudiments of good journalism and, at the same time, to enjoy the company of good friends. Assisting Stuart this year have been page editors Stephen Rosenthal, News Editor, Steven Mastronarde, Feature Editor, and Barry Feldman, Sports Editor. David Krumholz as Business Manager has been responsible for the efficient distribution of the paper to homerooms. I inmiiiir JW i - . , csM aft J , Ww lift. Lr i m ! ' M JM .

The members of the choir spent the fall learning music for their Christ¬ mas exchange concert with Windsor High School. A tape was made of this performance and replayed over the radio on Christmas Day. At their spring concert, the choir performed “Last Words of David” by Randall Thompson, “Thanks Be To Thee” by George Handel, “Done Made My Vow to the Lord” and “Didn ' t My Lord Deliver Daniel,” two Negro spirituals. In addition, they sang selections from Rogers and Hammer- stein’s “The Sound of Music” and invited Michael Thomas, a former Weaver graduate, to harmonize with them in “0 God Our Help in Ages Past.” The band kept itself busy by marching in parades and during half-times of football games. In their green and white uniforms, they followed the majorettes, adding the stirring marches which are traditional to the football season to Weaver games. With its new adviser, Mr. Dean, the orchestra joined with other schools in two exchange concerts. In one, a concert held in March with Windsor High School, the two orchestras joined in the finale, “Sound of Music,” including favorites such as “Do-Re-Mi,” “My Favorite Things,” and “Climb Ev’ry Mountain.” At a second concert with Bristol Eastern High School, both groups combined to produce a symphonic sound and members had the experience of playing in a large scale orchestra. Senior members of the orchestra included Gail Michelson on the bassoon, Ronnie Zorick on the viola, Melanie Petrossi on the flute, Marlene Bunis on the trumpet, Lynn Waxman on percussion, Victoria Washington and Marla Cohen on the oboe, Bev Plassick on the clarinet and Stephen Kramer on strings. 22 World Affairs Center delves into foreign relations REVIEW staff includes Jack Komisar, Wilhelmina Cook, Etta Birenbaum, Jay Ginsberg, Pamela Gregoire, Marla Cohen and Eugene Seymour. Alert to significant problems, the World Affairs Center informs stu¬ dents of current world affairs, both national and international in scope. This year, several members took part in a model U.N. session held in April where student participants repre¬ sented the countries of Israel, Hun¬ gary, and Mexico. During a trip to New York, they toured the U.N. and spoke with foreign delegates from their countries. After a pause of a year, the REVIEW, Weaver’s magazine, again published an imaginative collection of poems, short stories, essays, and illustrations. The Dance Club was just as creative since most of the choreography was blocked out by the girls themselves, giving them the op¬ portunity to work with modern jazz. World Affairs Center includes Lianne Doherty, Eli Skora, Joan Hyne, Robert Levine, Danny Dermer, Neal Singer, Fern Zlochiver, Michael Levy, Carol Dance Club includes (Front Row) Sylvia Fox, Saundra Zwick, Jay Ginsberg, Larry Ginsberg, Debbie Shor, and lllona Yousman. Carter, Delphine Dumas, (Row 2) Paula Patterson and Paulette Fox. David Rosenberg, Bill Kondra- siewicz, David Krumholz and Gary Rosner run a piece of audio visual equipment. Amateur Radio Club includes Mr. Spencer Schaller, Jim Bing, David Walczak and Stephan Demirjian. 24 ;V Radio Club is added to list of new groups Thirteen boys joined together this year to form a new group called the Amateur Radio Club. Since the organization needed equipment to start, they ran a crossword puzzle contest and earned enough money to buy a transmitter. David Walczak, pres¬ ident, indicated that club member¬ ship should continue to grow. Whenever anyone needs to have some audio visual equipment set up, he calls on the A.V.A. squad. As Nick Mele stated, “It is an or¬ ganization which has an important function in this school.” With the rapid increase in the amount of audio visual materials, its services become more vital. Each member is responsible to the captain, Richard Siedman. A.V.A. includes Jeffrey Rudolph, Wil- Checking over transparencies are Greg Dublin, Stephan Demirjian, Jeffrey Rudolph and Ham Harvey, Jim Richard Richard Siedman. Siedman, Stephan Demirjian and David Seltzer. 25 Art-Crafts Club includes Phillip Gar bus, Teresa Baccielo, Irene Gouvia, Nadine DeLawrence, Mr. John Preu, Fern Zlochiver, Faye Wein, and Joe Perlman. While the Biology Club, led by Steven Mastronarde, sponsored a lecture on the effects of LSD by Dr. Joel Schwartz, a swim party in honor of new members and discussion groups, other clubs were focusing their atten¬ tions on organizing and financing field trips. The Junior Red Cross, continuing to give much of its time in volun¬ teer work at the Oak Hill School for the Blind, joined with the Future Teachers’ Club in arranging a trip to Washington, D.C., to visit the sights in the nation’s capital. One of their most important fund raising activ¬ ities for this trip was a guess-the-beans contest; the winner received a watch as first prize. The Art-Crafts Club, under Teresa Baccielo, traveled to Farmington Avenue to study the art and architecture of St. Joseph’s Cathedral as a preliminary to their an¬ nual trip to New York City to see some of the attractions there. In addition, the club made paper animals to enter¬ tain hospitalized children. By far the most hardy and adventurous group, the German Club highlighted their year with a hiking trip. The site for the climb was Bear Mountain, the highest point in the state of Connecticut. Spring field trips climax clubs’ program calendars German Club includes (Front Row) George Thomas, Alan Lowenstein, Laura Carabillo, Teresa Rozek, (Row 2) Donna Strout, Mr. Fritz Tietze and Beverly Feldsher. 26 Biology Club includes (Front Row) Laura Carabillo, Sue Kopel, Julitf Johns, Sandy Krumholz, Ellen Carni, Yona Roznar, (Row 2) Mr. Gilbert Stuart, David Mastronarde, Peter Demos, Robert Perlman, Mark Klau, Hugh Tamar en, Steven Mastronarde, Barry Gold, Sheldon Strieker, Stephen Spanier, Joe Perlman, David Lumpkin, and Ed Lazer.

Concentration rewarded as checkmate is called Without a doubt, the Chess Club is the quietest group in the school as members study their chess boards to determine which move is wisest. The club members hold practice sessions with each other in anticipation of meets with other chess teams. The highlight of the year for the Girls’ Business Club, advised by Mrs. Gerard, was a dinner with alumni where present members had the chance to talk with girls who have entered the business world and to get a bal¬ anced picture of the opportunities which they will have in business. During the fall, the Future Teachers’ Club sponsored a dialogue between students and teachers to promote a better understanding and increase knowledge of teaching as a profession. Later in the year, under the direction of Sheila Howard, president, the club ran a Teacher- Exchange Day where students taught their own classes. fpf pH 1 I The Future Teachers’ Club includes (Front Row) Angela Thomas, Paulette Fox, Sylvia Fox, Laura Carabillo, (Row 2) Diana Kelly, Melanie Petrossi, Sheila Howard, Sheila Guter, Sandy Baum, Cara Schweitzer, (Row 3) Elinor Sherman, Carole Stamm, Marguerite Zamlauski, Mrs. Marie Gubitz and Sharon Lewis. 28 k The Chess Club includes (Front Row) Joey Blustein, Richard Slutsky, Ira Kroopneck, Sheldon Strieker, (Row 2) Eric Schweitzer, Arthur Mills, Cary Wasserman, Henry Faust, Robert Perlman, David Mastronarde, (Row 3) Arthur Pomerantz, Ed Lazer, John Menut, Mr. Frank Mancuso, Ethan Unger, Gary Bailey and Stephen Spanier.

Orwell’s “1984” points to future “1984” came sooner than expected with the Dramatic Club’s presenta¬ tion of Orwell’s play. Under the direction of Carol Zwick and Miss Ann Nelson, Weaver’s auditorium was transformed into a time and place of the future. Sets, props, light¬ ing and costumes, all important to the production of the play, were capably handled by a crew which was headed by David Krumholz and Teresa Baccielo. Although academically oriented, the Weaver Chapter of the National Honor Society services the entire school. The tutoring program is one such project since members of the club devote at least one period a week to a student needing extra help. “Beat H.P.H.S.” tags and a bean contest were two other projects. Sue Kopel and Jay Ginsberg rehearse for “1984”. 31 M ' M Clubs encourage work experience Learning through doing characterized the Work Training, Work Study, and Distributive Education Clubs. The Work Training students were active mainly within the school system itself. Some, such as Alice Stellmacher and Winston Wilson, were employed as teacher aides and office aides, spending regular periods each day in clerical work. Other work trainees were hired as recrea¬ tional aides assisting youngsters in after¬ noon activities. Work Study differed from Work Train¬ ing in as much as Work Study students worked for individual companies, par¬ ticularly insurance companies. It was not unusual for members to be training for management jobs and, at the same time, to be continuing in their studies. Retailing and merchandizing are inter¬ ests of the members of the Distributive Education Club. Expanding the Weaver Book Store to include all student necessi¬ ties and a few articles of clothing, each member holds a position in the store where his knowledge of retailing can be applied in actual experience. Weaver’s Phil Morgan was chosen to represent Connecticut in Houston. 32 Jacqueline Thorton, Vernon Hicks and Venita Crawley work in an insurance office as part of Work Study.

What has seemed like a dream, although at times an extremely elusive dream, becomes a tangible object to be exclaimed over, commented upon, thumbed through, minutely ex¬ amined and autographed. The adventure, or as some PORTAL members say, the totally unforgettable experience of editing and fi¬ nancing the yearbook, began last May with the election of Phillip Garbus as Editor-in-Chief and Hampton Cross as Business Manager. From this starting point, the Busi¬ ness and Editorial Boards were selected, and, for the first time, underclassmen were added to train on the staff. With the start of the summer, the Business Board began the busy pursuit of advertising, while the Editorial Board studied pamphlets, practiced cropping pictures, and looked over old yearbooks in preparation for the winter’s work. And then it was September. The PORTAL staff re¬ turned to find a room of its own. It was a compact, cozy room that encouraged PORTAL members who enjoyed decorating to do so. The little room soon became home with the addition of print curtains, bulletin boards, posters and seasonal decorations. In October, a PORTAL delegation, led by Phillip and Hampton and accom¬ panied by their adviser, Miss Kathleen Gallagher, invaded New York City for the Columbia Scholastic Press Conference. The year grew busier and busier. The Business Board canvassed homerooms to sell yearbook covers, the pho¬ tographers roamed the halls for promising shots and the Editorial Board turned out layouts and copy. Slowly the PORTAL took shape and was sent to the printer. The staff gave a sigh of relief and slowly shut the door to Room 225, while next year’s staff, young and energetic, began planning for PORTAL 1969. The Business Board includes (Front Row) Hampton Cross, Brenda Mitchell, Charlie Carter, (Row 2) Donna Strout, Jim Bing, Walter McCree, Lenny Aniello and Marla Cohen. 35 At the Norwich game, Joe Green goes into a 48 dive.

The ' ‘Green Machine” shut out 6 of the 8 teams played, while the defense allowed only 15 points to be scored against them. Under the direc¬ tion of Coaches Knurek and Kearney, the boys displayed only their best abilities. The Beavers not only captured the City Series and the Capitol District Conference Series but were also un¬ animously voted state champs. They outclassed every team in the state of¬ fensively and defensively. The finale of the season came on Thanksgiving Day when the field was mud from goal to goal, and heavy rain poured down throughout the game. Weaver, however, slid into a 12-0 victory over H.P.H.S. and again proved what team effort can accomplish. The proudest moment for the school came with the special assembly where honors were heaped upon the boys. As a special tribute, Governor Dempsey and Mayor Uccello attended. 39 t TENNIS SCOREBOARD TRACK SCOREBOARD w. Opponent W.

Even though they won just one match during the 1967 season, they never lost sight of their goal, to play the best game possible. The track team came on strong and captured a win at their first meet but did not have a victorious season as a whole. Individually, however, the members did do well. Harvey Kelly was undefeated in the 440 all season, and the relay team won the relay in the Memorial Day Track Meet at the armory. Charlie Smith ran the 100 yard dash, Dwight Hooker, the 220, and Eric Gray, the low hurdles. With the performances of seniors such as Frank Davis and Frank Palmer, the cross country squad had a good year. Flying over hurdles, throwing the javelin, competing in the broad jump with other schools, the team fought to show up well, both individually and as a group. Coached by Mr. Wilson, the boys displayed the versatility which they had achieved in all of the various events of cross country. Throw¬ ing in the shot put, the sportsmen reached great distances. Racing along the routes plotted out for each running match, they maintained both speed and endurance. Although these teams cannot show a case of trophies for their work, they can be proud of the determination and good sportsmanship shown by their members. Meanwhile, they continue to train and practice so that each season will be better than the one before it. Harvey Kelly leads the race in the 440 as Hartford High and Bulkeley runners follow. .iJ kJ 1 , Fans inspired by gay cheerleaders The Cheerleaders include (Front) Inez Theodore (manager), (Row 2) Marilyn Nixon, Paula Patterson, (Row 3) April Everett, Sylvia Fox, Marilyn Melluzzo, Debbie Koret, Dorothy Patterson, (Row 4) Debbie Maddox, Edris Kennedy, (Row 5) Sandy McGarrah, Rosalind Lee, Diane Womack, (Row 6) Mary Mc¬ Kinney, and Robin Deane. Who are the liveliest Weaver fans? The cheerleaders, of course. As always, the girls in green and white were seen at both rallies and games, performing faultless jumps and cheering the teams on to vic¬ tory. During the football season, they often donned raincoats and umbrellas to lead drenched fans in “One Time.” During the basketball season, they were usually first to chant, “Hey, Green! Hey, White! You look so good tonight.” Captained by Marilyn Nixon and Paula Patterson, they sparked the school with enthusiasm and good sportsmanship. Flashing down the field in front of the band, the majorettes showed the form which they acquired through long practice sessions. Captained by Karen Jones, they added life to half-time performances. iJl ] l The Majorettes include (Front) Joyce Hurston, (Row 2) Lilieth Thomas, Diana Kelly, Karen Jones, Pat Gross and Donna Jones. Undaunted by rain, Marilyn Nixon and Paula Patterson shout, “Weaver High, is mellow!” Soccer involves rugged training After practicing regularly to build up a strong squad, the soccer team had a good record last fall by winning three of their games. Competing with other clubs by send¬ ing in scores, the Archery Club worked in their practice sessions between other scheduled events. As Mrs. Strong, ad¬ viser, noted, “Archery is an up and coming sport. Boys really seem to like it, but I wish more girls would join.” Although team swimming was new to many of the boys on the team, the swim team did well in competition. Individually, co-captains Lance Powell and Gary Bailey claimed many. The Archery Team includes (Front Row) Everett Davis, Calvin Brown, Robert Lomax, Row 2) Milton Fong, Maurice (Fright, Tom O’Connor, and Philip Giller. Controlling the ball for Weaver, Charlie Cato and Bill Kondrasiewicz move down the soccer field. 44 The Swim Team includes (Front Row) Gary Bailey, John Hakien, Joey Blustein, Willie Cooper, Baroni Frazer, Carlson Montgomery, Lance Powell, Mr. Robert Downs, (Row 2) Ira Kroopneck, John Guerreiro, Rodney Williams, Craig Cohen, Arthur Pomerantz and James McDonough.

Skeptics claimed that the Weaver team, with only Gilbert Hampton and Douglas Morgan holding varsity experience, did not have the material to make it. But they found a back- court pair in the likes of Nolan Lewis and Freddie Matthews, a 6 ' 5 sophomore named Cleave Royster, and upperclassmen Mike Polite and John Pinckney, and the team set out to prove a point. And prove it they did with a breath-taking one-point win over H.P.H.S. and a couple of runaway games; from that time on, Weaver was definitely the team to beat. The fact that they were a tough team was never even questioned, even when they fell into a slump after losing an almost certain victory to H.P.H.S. in overtime. The Bouncing Beavers had made their point, and that point was not forgotten. The Basketball Team includes Donald Lambert, John Pinckney, Wallace Claitty, Nolan Lewis, Doug Morgan , James Biggins , Fred Matthews , John Holliday , Milton Johns , Greg Stinson y Claude Curry, Lee Wilson, Mike Polite and Cleave Royster. 47 Leader Corps helps gym classes Continuing their assistance to the gym teachers, the girls of the Girls’ Leader Corps, headed by Lorrie Scott, worked to help students de¬ velop gym skills. The highlight of their year, however, was a wig demonstration, included as a part of their regular installation assembly. An informal group interested in gymnastics, the Boys’ Leader Corps practiced during the Wednesday activity periods to prepare for half¬ time performances during home bas¬ ketball games. The finest athletes and cheerleaders Boys’ Leader Corps includes (Front Row) Gordon MacDonald, Benjy Stellmacher, (Row 2) Mr. Colin Wilson, John Cooley, Russell Seals, Michael Dunkley, Jerome Betsy, Byron Russell, (Row 3) Peter Lindsey, Rodney Willis, Philip Roberts, Ed Raines, Andre Ramos, Alva Harrison, and Curtis Richardson. in Weaver make up the Letter Club, led this year by John Lobon.

In its 1967 season, the Golf Team showed all the skill and versatility necessary to compete in regional tournaments. Through competition between members of the team and the combined efforts of the team, much was accomplished. Under Coach Frank Scelza and with team members such as George Lukach, Robert Buckland and Ronald Miller, the Green and White appeared on various greens throughout the city. The team won several important victories over Hartford High and East Hart¬ ford and finished in fourth place in the Capitol District Conference. The training, experience and knowledge of the sport acquired in this season should prove valuable to the team in 1968. In the world of baseball, the Weaver High 1967 season was one of learning and gaining experience. The season was not an undefeated one, but great games were played by a sincere, loyal and hard-working group of boys. Coach Larry Shea worked hard and long with the team, and his efforts were rewarded in the likes of Joe Green and David “Busty” Johnson. Co-captains Phil Fugge and Nolan Lewis also had high averages for the season and were valuable assets to the performance of the team. The games were hard-fought and, although the team did not win all their games, they represented the Beavers admirably. 1967 was a good season for spring sports, and Weaver was well represented by its lads in the green and white uniforms who may not always have been the victors, but fought hard with all the skill and power in them and came out on top in showing and in endeavoring to do their best. These boys, with their achievements in 1967 should do even better in the spring of 1968. BASEBALL SCOREBOARD W.

President Harvey Kelly and Vice-President Susie Strong represented the class on Student Council. Seniors were the charter members of the newly formed monitor squad. The class sponsored the first annual 100 Days Party to celebrate their last hundred days to¬ gether at Weaver and to announce the winners of the class popularity polls. Shortly afterward, they held elections to choose the participants of the Class Night program who would write the will, prophecy, history, essay and oration. They elected Teresa Baccielo as chairman of the Senior Reception and Michael Mitchell as chairman of the Outing. Arlene Gaines and David Krumholz patiently collected dues to pay for these activities. As a whole, the Class of ’68 worked together and had fun together, making their senior year their best and most memorable year at Weaver Far left: Seniors are Weaver ' s best fans as they cheer the teams to victory.

Courses range from practical to theoretical and, as curriculum teams continue to complete their work, additional courses are added. New techniques of learning intrigue students. A class in Prob¬ lems of Democracy, for example, studied a Supreme Court test case, Beaaharnais vs. Illinois , by putting it into play form, giv¬ ing seniors the various roles such as the judge and arresting officer, and making a video tape of the results. This tape is now a part of a collection at the University of Hartford film center. Students themselves conducted studies of monopolies, trusts, and labor by planning their own lectures and w ' ork sheets, arranging for special speakers, film strips and movies, and even writing their own quizzes and evaluations. In classes such as these, students learn by actually planning their own classes.

I Seniors cite Mr. Andrews and Miss MacDonnell Outstanding teachers are those who challenge their stu¬ dents, challenge them by planting an idea in their minds and helping them to develop it. Expecting the best from their students, they tend to draw out the best. Weaver is fortunate to have such a teacher. By setting fair standards for her students and then by giving them help to reach these goals, she has taught her classes to strive to produce quality work. Her clear mind enables them to penetrate a maze of facts and arrive at an insight which will hold these facts in their proper perspective. Her sense of humor cuts through the trivial and makes learning a memorable experience. The Class of 1968, in warmest appreciation, thanks the outstanding teacher who helped them interpret history, Miss Mary MacDonnell. The years of high school are years of decisions. From the day of entering as new freshmen to the day of leaving as graduating seniors, the class has faced endless ques¬ tions: Can I hold my grades and take a part-time job? Should I take American History this year or put it off until next? Which school will give me the background I need? Should I enlist now or wait to be drafted? Does my Eng¬ lish teacher really mean that failure notice? But now the high school days are over and the first de¬ cisions have been made. The class recognizes the man who, with his unlimited experience and quiet air of assurance, helped to shape these decisions, the man who gave them the confidence to stand by themselves. The Class of 1968 gratefully thanks this man, Mr. Charles Andrews. Always ready to help. Miss MacDonnell works with Jacob Klieback gets advice from Mr. Andrews on college Jake Newman, Susan Kane, Jay Ginsberg and Debbie applications. Shor. 95 4 Weaver tries a modern approach to urban problems Mr. Fish first watched, the football team at the Jamboree. Today’s urban schools find themselves in a critical situation. In general, they are so large that they pro¬ vide little contact between students, faculty and ad¬ ministration. Their student bodies are composed of pop¬ ulations which are mixed racially, socio-economically, and intellectually. While this variety is desirable, their str uctures often fail to handle the deadlocks which can also result from it. Weaver, classified as a racially mixed urban school, faces many of the same problems which confront simi¬ lar schools. To solve some of the problems created by size, therefore, the administration instituted the house system last fall which divided Weaver into three sepa¬ rate houses, each with its own vice-principal. They did this in the hope that they could clear the channels of communication between the administration, faculty and students. In addition, they added a new vice-principal, Mr. Robert Fish, who assumed responsibility for the newly formed Gamma house. Therefore, by changing structurally, Weaver has actually taken a modern ap¬ proach to answer the problems of the urban school. Through changes such as the house system, Weaver attempts to meet the needs of Hartford students. Mr. Melrose briefs two student teachers, Mr. Herbert Sargent and Mr. Mark Trout. Weaver ' s four administrators are Mr. Ezra Melrose, Mr. Robert Fish, Miss Anita Roche and Mr. Nicholas Coracci. Man’s thoughts expressed meaningfully The English Department includes Mr. Arthur von Roemer, Mrs. Margaret Leonard, Mrs. Mary Gilbertson, Mrs. Stephanie Nitschke, Mr. Paul Eukers, Mr. Philip Rice, Mr. Albert DeBonis, Mr. George Devine and Miss Rachel Lindenthal.

Mrs. Hennessy helps Yolanda Owens, Mary Ellen Cyr and Tyrone Cannon enjoy THE MAYOR OF CASTERBRIDGE. through literature, composition, speech Although the English Department is composed of many unique teach¬ ers, each with his own individual areas of interest, the department as a whole emphasizes the same thing—communication of thoughts. While the artist expresses himself through the paint brush and the musician through his music, the writer, whether he be Hemingway or an ordinary high school senior, finds release for his thoughts in words, both oral and written. The English Department works to teach students to use their words most effectively. The body of literature represents the growth and artistic expression of ideas. From classical writers such as Plato and Sophocles through Shakespeare to the modern writers such as Faulkner and Salinger, authors have set down their thoughts on life in a significant and mean¬ ingful way. By becoming practiced observers of this material for thought and models for expression, students of literature can compre¬ hend, judge and refine their own values and attitudes toward life and the people around them. Composition offers students the chance to define their own thoughts, organize them in a logical manner and put them into words. Oral work, difficult to carry on in the classroom, attempts to show that it is flex¬ ibility in language that is most important. The language which a person uses, whether formal or colloquial, depends on many factors, including situation, purpose and result, and the most effective speaker is one who can readily change the levels of his speech with each new situation and moment. Literature, composition and oral work, therefore, function as tools to increase powers of communication. The English Department includes Miss Catherine Bailey, Mr. Francis D’Amato, Miss Eluned Roberts, Mr. If alter Drew, Miss Kathleen Gallagher, Mrs. Mary- Franees Hennessy, Miss Elaine Bessette, Mr. Fritz Tietze and Mr. John Hendsey. 99 4 IlittSS ■■ : : SSL ' w ■a hjp|3 I ; ., .ff ' u ' fijL ' if if tBF iwp m % ® V ' T J I 1 ■ A n Ml $� , ||£ ■- : t $gBBS MfelMB|8P w •••• $ dnS ■[{ ; ' $. • ' ' mUH|K ' r ' yA V Cy Iw B- tk j p : ■« fly ' r- f ■ Displays, concerts brighten up daily life Mr. Arthur Levine conducts a morning rehearsal. Two members of the Music Department are Mrs. Eliza¬ beth Martin and Mr. Robert Dean. Veronica Christie and Shirley Hansley polish a pin in art class. The Art and Music Departments pro¬ vide enjoyment not only for students en¬ rolled in art or music courses but for the entire school. The Art Department, through work in ceramics, painting, met¬ als and sculpture, brightens the school with displays of its work in the show¬ cases and also with decorations of fash¬ ion design on the bulletin boards. The Music Department entertains students at rallies, games, assemblies and concerts. At rallies and games, the band provides lively encouragement for the team and student body. The orchestra and choir entertain at the Christmas concert with a collection of sacred music and tradi¬ tional carols and Christmas songs. The choir had the additional task this year of helping to teach the Alma Mater to mem¬ bers of Alpha, Beta, and Gamma houses at separate house assemblies. One of the highlights of this year’s musical pro¬ gram was an exchange concert with the choirs of Windsor High School which took place in December. The Art Department includes Mr. Frank Man- cuso, Mr. John Preu, (seated). Miss Karen McCombe and Mr. John Karrer. 101 I j i i Odell Roberts and Yvonne Livingston staff the bookstore run by DECA. Lois Marshall increases her typing speed. Bookstore run by D.E.C.A. In keeping with its philosophy to prepare students for the practical as¬ pects of the business world, the Busi¬ ness Department sponsors a course called Distributive Education. Taught by Mr. Perry, the course covers many aspects of retailing. Outside of the classroom itself, DECA members op¬ erate the bookstore themselves and attend various meetings including a fall weekend conference in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Students also learn other phases of business. Typing and stenography teach useful office skills. Bookkeeping gives an overall view of the financial aspects of small business and an in¬ troduction into the workings of big business. Many students trained in the department go directly into busi¬ ness after graduation. � ' 102 Carolyn Holden and Stephanie Nicholas decrease typing errors. wma |j | •: ] u tjMy i IBM i r Ip niff - 1 V ML , .

In order to achieve this, the department created a senior course called the American Mind to supplement the junior year of American History. Developing Na¬ tions, a second new course, replaced Civics. World History I and II, a two year program, dealt with both ancient and modern history. World Civiliza¬ tion took the place of the World His¬ tory course. Field trips supplemented class studies. In December, for exam¬ ple, the members of the American Mind and American History classes went to Sturbridge Village t o supple¬ ment their sections on colonial studies and, in January, several American History classes attended a matinee performance of Gone With the Wind. The Foreign Language Department also developed new techniques for teaching language. They piloted a special program for French I students which consisted of three parts: con¬ trol, experiment and tradition. The department continued to offer courses in German, Spanish, Latin and French.

On the con¬ trary, it is one of the most difficult tasks in today’s urban schools. Being responsible for a great number of students with widely varied interests, backgrounds and goals forces the counselor to treat each student as a unique individual. By listening, commenting and questioning, the counselors help the students to see what their potentials are and how they can best put them to use in an interesting field. In most instances, if the counselor is not fa¬ miliar with the particular field, he will refer the students to someone who is. In addition, he encourages students to take advantage of any outside contacts they can make which would give them further information about their fields. The senior counselors, Miss Nel¬ son and Mr. Andrews, have often arranged for students to find jobs and to enroll in the Work Training or Work Study programs. For those who plan to attend college, they have helped with applications and interviews. Students should not forget that the material and coun¬ selors remain available, hut the individual stu¬ dent must take the initiative to use the facili¬ ties wisely. 107 Careful not to spill a drop, Danielle Dion works over the test tubes. Space age demands top scientific minds Since the advent of the space age, the impor¬ tance of the study of mathematics and science has vastly increased. Basic knowledge of these fields is now as necessary for the ordinary lay¬ man as it once was for just scientists and engi¬ neers. News flashes bombard contemporary man with stories of startling developments in drugs, space technology and simple consumer products. For anyone to sort out this technical informa¬ tion, he must understand the scientific funda¬ mentals behind these improvements. In order to budget his funds intelligently, consumers must know how to compute taxes, interest rates on loans and carrying charges for buying on credit. To meet these needs, the Mathematics Depart¬ ment offers courses in elementary and advanced algebra, geometry and computing machines. The Science Department, insisting on quality work, teaches the basics of science including biology, physics and chemistry. Only by learning as much as possible about the world around him can theh average citizen be well informed and able to manage his funds efficiently. 108 I The Math Department includes Mr. Curtis Manns, Mr. George Ring, Mr. Robert Tetreault, Mrs. Joseph Tummillo, Miss Sheila Turner, Mrs. Marie Gubitz, Mr. Joseph Beidler, (seated) Mr. Samuel Bronstein (chairman) and Mrs. Alice Burstem.

Where do students go when they feel the sniffles coming on? To the nurse. Where do they go when any non-medical problems come up? To the office. Mrs. Garber, the school nurse, and Mrs. Petruvich’s office staff are indispen¬ sable members of the school. Mrs. Garber effi¬ ciently handles the health records and deals with daily illnesses while the office secretaries keep the front office functioning smoothly. Where do students go when they want to en¬ roll in the Work Study or Work Training pro¬ grams? To Mr. Worth and Mrs. Ferguson. Through thei r help, many students have been dismissed early from school to work at local firms such as the Aetna and Connecticut Gen¬ eral. At the same time that the Work Study students are earning money, they are also earn¬ ing credits toward graduation. Work Training students, paid by federal funds, hold jobs pro¬ vided for them by the Work Training program. The secretarial staff includes Mrs. Blanche Sack, Mrs. Helen Petruvich, Mrs. Lillian Roznar and Miss Marguerita Claffey. Sharon Lewis visits Mrs. Garber ' s health office. The Industrial Arts Department includes Mr. John Alibrio, Mr. Richard Aubuchon, Mr. Frank Steeves (chairman), Mr. Howard Hill and Mr. Larry Shea. Surrounded by his class, Mr. Steeves works out a problem in mechanical drawing. Mr. Shea shows Richard Badeau and J. T. Bell the finer points of engine tune-ups. 112 The Home Economics Department includes Mrs. Elizabeth Gammons and Mrs. Gladys Wallace. Basic instruction sharpens skills Statistics have shown that people who are trained in the practical aspects of daily life have less trouble coping with everyday, small problems which are apt to occur. The Indus¬ trial Arts Department, therefore, headed by Mr. Steeves, offers courses to boys in power mechanics, woodworking, mechanical drawing and printing. Besides printing all of the passes needed for the school to function , the boys turn out tickets for dances and programs for various stage productions. These activities give the boys practical experience and save school funds as well. The Home Economics Department, which offers courses in sewing and cooking, also pre¬ pares girls in a practical sense. Toward the end of the year, the girls provide all of the elaborate refreshments for the Junior Tea. A useful course taught by Mrs. Gammons, Social and Family Living, gives the girls a chance to discuss all matters pertinent to their social lives and futures as homemakers. By studying now, they prevent problems later. 113 t I I Library stocks outstanding collection of Negro studies In order to serve the interests of the stu¬ dents of Weaver, Miss Sullivan, librarian, compiled a bibliography of Negro litera¬ ture, both fiction and non-fiction, during the past year. With titles ranging from James Baldwin’s Go Tell It On The Moun¬ tain to Booker T. Washington’s Up From Slavery, the list forms one of the best col¬ lections in the area. Other services available to students in¬ clude Mr. Clifford and Miss Calhoun, social workers, Miss Miller, the psychological ex¬ aminer, and Mrs. Winegard, the speech teacher. From within his expanded office, Mr. Szandrocha continues to direct all audio-visual activities, sending films, over¬ head projectors and recordings into the classrooms. The Physical Education Depart¬ ment, despite the late delivery of the gym divider and the subsequent threat of co-ed gym classes, carried on its program of body exercise. Dorothy Owens asks Miss Sullivan a question in the library. Mr. Timothy Clifford, meets often with students as the school’s social worker. 114 The Physical Education Department includes (seated) Mr. John Lambert, Mrs. Aida Schumey, Mr. Colin Wilson, (standing) Miss Susan Ouellette, Mrs. Mari¬ lyn Strong, Mr. Frank Scelza and Mr. Philip Kearney. Mr. John Szandrocha and Franz Redler check over a filmstrip in the Audio- Visual room. 115 Advertisers The efforts of many people have gone into the production of the 1968 PORTAL and the book could not have been com¬ pleted without them.
