WELLESLEY FREE LIBRARY No man is an Island, entire of itself; Every man is a piece of the Continent, a part of the main; if a Clod be washed away by the Sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a Promontory were as well as if a Manor of thy friend’s or of thine own were; man’s death diminishes me because I am involved in Mankind; And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; It tolls for thee.

Kennedy WELLESLEY FREE LIBRARY 5 WELLESLEY. MASS. 02181 REFLECTIONS MR. D’ANIELLO I am most pleased tc express my feelings and im¬ pressions about Wellesley Senior High School. I have been most fortunate in having the opportunity to serve the Wellesley community for twelve years. The time spent as a teacher, department head and assistant principal were the most challenging and satisfying of my professional career. I have always been accorded the highest respect from my students and fellow-teachers. The challenge, excitement and satisfaction of my work in Wellesley so stimulated me that I looked forward to each new day, with happy expectation. The interest, co-operation and participation of my students inspired me to apply all of my energy toward the formation of a varied and stimulating educational environment. I can sincerely state that I had never worked in such a fine academic community as that of Wellesley. As the years went by, and I advanced from class¬ room teacher to department head to assistant principal, I saw many changes take place in the areas of cur¬ riculum, methodology and instruction. Wellesley High School curriculum includes over two hundred courses. £r The curriculum expansion over the years has been most impressive, however, I do feel continued progress is necessary in the are as of English, Industrial Arts, Homemaking and Health. Equally impressive are the changes in methodology and instruction. One has simply to make a tour of the building and he will become aware of the many and varied activities taking place-lectures, films, discussions, laboratory work, seminars, demonstrations, etc. Whenever I was sad¬ dened by the problems of my office as an assistant principal, I would visit the academic areas. Once out of my office, my faith and aspirations were fully restored. Many fine things are happening in classrooms and laboratories; education is exciting and enhancing. It is not as bad as our critics state. Although I must rank Wellesley Senior High School as one of the better schools I have worked in—there is still much work to be accomplished. A significant need exists for an expanded faculty. More room is needed for Art, Industrial Arts, Mathematics, and the Library. I am now involved with another faculty, student body and facility. I am enjoying my principalship. I often think of Wellesley and the friends, challenges, and accomplishments. I miss not being a part of such a fine endeavor. I have confidence that Wellesley will continue to progress under new leadership and I shall follow that progress with affectionate concern. I am grateful for the many benefits I have enjoyed in my professional life, a significant one having been my role in the Wellesley Academic Community. JOHN B. CHAFFEE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS RETIRES Mr. John B. Chaffee became the superintendent of schools in Wellesley in 1954, several years before many of the students now attending Wellesley schools began their education. And now, as the present Senior class awaits its landmark graduation—the hundredth in our history—it seems we are marking more than one mile¬ stone in Wellesley educational history, for this year, 1969, is the last year in Mr. Chaffee’s career of edu¬ cational service in this community. The quality of Mr. Chaffee’s contribution and the fact that so many owe their fine education to him, moves us to thank him and to recall some of the many contributions that he has made to us in the past fourteen years. As we look back, we see that Mr. Chaffee has been the one ever-present factor that has moved this school system through a continuing cycle of re-evaluation and improvement. The quality of the Wellesley School System has been elevated—and that elevation of quality has been constant. It is a well-accepted and much repeated theory that the orbiting of Sputnik by the Soviet Union in 1957, shocked America out of its intellectual com¬ placency and resulted in a new realization of the need for an improved system of public education. Under the direction of Mr. Chaffee, Wellesley schools have excelled in the planning and adoption of programs designed to afford the greatest possible benefit to the future citizen. Because of increase enrollment, these additions have been made to the Senior High School. Similar expan¬ sion programs have been conducted at the Junior High School and at various elementary schools. The excel¬ lence cf the physical facilities provides an environment which is more conducive to learning. Curriculum changes, of which the “new math”, the expanded Social Science Department, and the diversification of physical science offerings are but a few examples, keep Wellesley education in step with the growth of American society and its technology. Of tremendous importance to Wellesley youth has been the emergence in the past decade of the Guidance Departments in the Junior and Senior High Schools. When Mr. Chaffee came here in 1954, there were two part-time counsellors at the High School, and none at the Junior High. As he leaves us in 1969, he leaves an organization of six full-time professional guidance counsellors at each school. A similar growth has occured in the adoption of new reading programs and classes for the mentally retarded. From the first day of elementary school to the last year of high school, special emphasis has been placed on the development of reading skills and language comprehension. The fundamental importance of these communication skills necessitates that all students master them. Mr. Chaffee has seen that Wellesley students do have this opportunity. Another important factor of innovative education is the internship program Wellesley established with Northeastern, Harvard, and Boston College. Conse¬ quently, many stimulating people train in the Wellesley Public Schools each year. Several now teach in our schools, and their ideas concerning teaching methods and subject matter have been judiciously incorporated into the Wellesley School System. As we look at this partial list of Mr. Chaffee’s ac¬ complishments as Superintendent of Wellesley Schools during the past fourteen years, we cannot help but be impressed anew by his dedication and farsighted leadership. We are sorry to see Mr. Chaffee leave, but we wish him well in future endeavors and remind him that he has the enduring gratitude and affection of the Wellesley residents. 7 FREDERICK E. TED” STEEVES September 30, 1968 will long be remembered as the ' ‘parting of the ways” of the man who never could say NO to a student or faculty member, a man who never said anything derogatory about anyone, and a man who loved living just to be of assistance to anyone. “Ted” Steeves, as he was so affectionately known, built his department around the thought—‘Something in athletics for everyone”. He had more sport teams than any other Bay State School. His Physical Education program, second to none, has been copied by many communities. Of all his innovations, his gymnastic shows must be classed as his ultimate. He was so highly respected in this field that he was awarded the National Helms Foundation Award for Gymnastics, one of three recipients in all New England. We of W.H.S. in 1969 feel privileged to have known Mr. Steeves and our only regret is that future classes will not have the same opportunity of such a fine association. —Harold Hines PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE To you, the members of the Class of 1969, goes the unique distinction of being the one hundredth gradu¬ ating class of Wellesley Senior High School. What changes have taken place in those one hundred years! Most of the progress made has been in the field of material improvements—electric lights, the telegraph and telephone, radio and television, the automobile and the airplane, and hundreds of other inventions which have made our lives much easier in a material sense. In addition, man has fathomed the mysteries of the atom and built up the power to destroy all mankind. Rockets set their sights and reach the moon. Russia and the United States are vying with each other to put the first man on that celestial body. Could any graduate in that class of one hundred years ago have dreamed of the wonders now all around us? But with all these material marvels, social progress has lagged far behind. Only in recent years has our attention been called to many ills facing large segments of the population. To your generation will be given the mandate to help right much that is wrong in man’s relationship to man. It is our hope that your school years have given you a firm foundation on which to build. The prayers of your parents, your teachers, and your friends go out to you to make the most of your opportunities that you may contribute individually to making this an even better world in which to live. Good luck and Godspeed to you all! 9 Our village life would stagnate if it were not for the unexplored forests and meadows which surround it. We need the tonic wild¬ ness ... We need to witness our own limits transgressed, and some life pasturing freely where we never wander ... We can never have enough of nature ... At the same time that we are earnest to explore and learn all things, we require that all things be myste¬ rious and unexplorable . . . —Henry David Thoreau man drastically altered his civilisation... 13 but the wonder , serenity, refreshment... and love of life experienced through primitive nature remains. I am convinced that the world is not a mere bog in which men and women trample themselves in the mire and die . . . Something magnificent is taking place here amid the cruelties and tragedies . . . and the supreme chal¬ lenge to intelligence is that of making the noblest and best in our curious heritage prevail. —Durante 16 As individuals, we are deeply affected either con¬ sciously or unconsciously, by our environmental influ¬ ences; social, economic, and historical. Part of what we become as human beings is, to a great extent, shaped by the residents of our community; their goals, attitudes, beliefs, and values. For this very reason, we, as the graduates of a centennial class at Wellesley High School, will explore the history of the commu¬ nity which has nurtured us during our years as students in the Wellesley schools. 17 18 , 7S 76- ' 77 cU. fy?qf£k.

One of the most difficult tasks which faced the Wellesleyan editors this year was the researching and writing of the one hundred years of Wellesley history. In this huge undertaking , we were immeas¬ urably aided by Mrs. Katharine Healy and Colonel Laurence Bunker. We extend our deepest apprecia¬ tion and heartfelt thanks to Miss Margaret Urann who gave her time , energy, and unique understand¬ ing of Wellesley history to the publication of this Centennial edition.

The first white settler in the area now Wellesley was Andrew Dewing, who in 1659 was granted land on which he built a garrison house. Most of the early settlers located their dwellings nearer the center of Dedham. This community was called “Continent” by the people, but the first pastor was from Dedham, Eng¬ land, and so the settlement was renamed Dedham. In those days a man had to belong to the local church in order to have the privilege of voting. Most of what is now Dedham, Needham and Wel¬ lesley belonged to Chief Nehoiden and his tribe. In 1680, the inhabitants of Dedham wished to obtain clear titles to their land. Therefore they gave Nehoiden ten pounds in English currency, forty shillings worth of Indian corn and forty acres of their land. A similar transaction was made that same year with Chief Maugus for land extending to Natick and Weston. As Dedham grew, the citizens toward the west desired to form a separate town with their own church. In 1710, they presented a petition to the General Court for the incorporation of a second town. That request was opposed by Dedham, but another was granted in 1711. The new town was called Needham after Need¬ ham, England. 1774 iR ' ic Ce r 0 Wellesley Congregational Church (used in NuHMt j laced Church Street, ’then part of main road to (drawing by late Wm. L. Taylor from description.) Courtesy Wellesley Historical Society While all this settling was taking place, industry was also beginning to grow. In 1704 Benjamin Mills built a sawmill in what is now Wellesley Lower Falls. He was also the owner of the Mills Inn where royal gover¬ nors and other dignitaries often stopped on their way from the coast to inland towns. Other kinds of mills followed for the next two hundred years to produce iron, leather, snuff, paper, machinery, chocolate, chemi¬ cals and paint, to name a few products. Stories about people in the Lower Falls and other parts of West Needham (now Wellesley) as well as in South Natick were collected by Harriet Beecher Stowe, author of Uncle Tom ' s Cabin. This new book was named Old Town Folks. In the meantime, Needham was having its troubles. Its first meetinghouse burned down. Up to this time the town had been a single parish divided geographi¬ cally by a plain about in the center. With the loss of the meetinghouse, the people in the west part of Need¬ ham wanted a church located nearer their part of town. An argument ensued between the residents of the two sections and there was much bitterness between them. When a small majority voted to rebuild the meet¬ inghouse on the original site, the result was a split between the sections. Finally, in 1774, the residents in the west acquired authority to establish the West Parish and eventually erected their own meetinghouse. The Reverend Thomas Noyes was ordained the first minister of the West Parish and remained in this position for thirty-four years. The west meetinghouse was located on the present site of the Village Church (Wellesley Con¬ gregational) but faced Church Street. (Central Street was designed much later.) 21 The East and West Parishes of Needham were separated mainly by geographic location. The inhabitants of both were primarily mill operators or farmers who were dependent on the sale of products from the mills, and of wood, faggote, and barrel hoops, to provide the necessities of life they were unable to raise. In spite of this common bond, residents of Needham ' s East and West Parishes had difficulty in maintain¬ ing good relations with one another. Those in the West Parish made several attempts to establish a separate town but they were unsuccessful over a long period. In 1851 the part of West Needham that is now Wellesley Hills became Grantville in honor of Moses Grant, who had given a bell for the first edifice of the Wellesley Hills Con¬ gregational Church (established in 1847). At that time West Needham, as a whole, was a country community with no water system, sidewalks, street lights, gas or electricity, telephones, police force or fire department. In 1874, street lamps were ac¬ quired, in the late 1870 ' s telephones began to appear, and other “new fangled contraptions” followed. The Hunnewell Gardens, with Wellesley College Hall in the distance. Courtesy Wellesley Historical Society In any history of Wellesley, one name stands out; that of Hunnewell. During 1852 Horatio Hollis Hunnewell, who in 1836 had married Isabella Pratt Welles, called their newly completed mansion “Wellesley” after her family. Around it he developed several beautiful and elaborate gardens that soon became famous, drawing folks from far and near. The flower in our town seal symbolizes these gardens. Finally, when West Needham “packed” a town meeting at the Poor Farm (now the Wellesley Country Club), the citizens of the west voted to separate from the east. With the approval of the Legislature, the incorporation went into effect on April 6, 1881. The new town was named Wellesley for Mr. Hunne- well’s generosity over several decades. The population was 2,600; the tax rate $9.50 per thousand during the first year. 22 Mr. Hunnewell continued to be most generous to¬ ward the new town, for he commissioned the erection of the original library and then the town hall. He also donated Morton Field, and land for the first Hunnewell School on Central Street, as well as the playfields that bear his name. Although this town was West Needham during the Revolutionary War, Wellesley residents can be proud of a very noble record of patriotism. Two companies of Minutemen were organized in West Needham prior to the outbreak of war. On the 19th of April, 1775, one company marched to Lexington under Captain Aaron Smith and the other under Captain Caleb Kingsbury. Although only one man, Amos Mills, was killed that day from West Needham, the whole of Needham suf¬ fered more casualties in battle than any other Massa¬ chusetts town. The war consolidated the two feuding sections of Needham for the time being. Near the present entrance to Wellesley College, at East Lodge on Washington Street, stood a tavern kept by Ephraim Bullard. Upon receiving news of the British march toward Concord, Bullard ran up the nearby hill and fired three gunshots to summon the Minutemen. These were joined at the tavern by the women, and all melted lead and molded it into bullets. As soon as they were supplied with ammunition, the Minutemen departed for the war. Out of a population of one thousand, Needham sent three hundred men. After the Revolution, a drowsy peacefulness settled over the community of West Needham. A stimulating event in 1834 was the arrival of the Boston and Wor¬ cester Steam Railway as far as this town. This was a turning point in community life, because with the rail¬ road came more residents and more businesses. Num¬ erous wealthy people moved from Boston to what is now Wellesley and built some of the mansions that can still be seen in the area. It was thus that Wellesley began its career as a suburb of Boston. With this influx of new families came some of the individuals of whom Wellesley can be proud. In 1846 Dr. William Thomas Green Morton of this town was the first to demonstrate the use of ether at the Massa¬ chusetts General Hospital. He lived on the present site of the town hall from 1845 until his death in 1868. In 1867, William Denton built a home for his family on the present Denton Road. They moved here so they could enjoy country life and the five children became avid naturalists like their father. His sons gathered and mounted butterflies and moths that formed an unusual collection with many rare specimens from all parts of the world. They won the gold and silver medals at the 1900 World’s Fair in Paris for the beauty and educational value of their collection. Meanwhile; at the outbreak of the Civil War, life in this town was again disrupted—this time to raise sums of money for the Union Army and to send troops to the war in the south. Joseph Emery Fiske was active on the committee that procured committees and provided clothing and supplies for enlisted men and their fami¬ lies. The men here participated in heated war meetings; the women made warm clothing for the Army. The setbacks of the Civil War were forgotten when, in the early 1870’s, a wealthy man brought prominence to this area. He was William Emerson Baker, who ac¬ quired 800 acres on what is now Grove Street and erected numerous buildings. He built formal gardens and a conservatory; an artificial lake (Lake Sabrina) stocked with fish and swans, also a boathouse on an is¬ land in the lake, bridges and a steamboat; elaborate fountains, underground tunnels and caves; a deer park and small zoo; and even a five-floor museum with exhibits and amusements. When it was completed, he called his estate Ridge Hill Farms. There was an ad¬ mission charge of ten cents and small fees for special exhibits. It was the “Disneyland” of the day and folks came from near and far to visit it. When Baker’s trained bear escaped and had to be shot, Mr. Baker sent out hundreds of formal invitations to its funeral. This re¬ ceived much publicity as many dignitaries came to the affair—it was followed by a feast and fireworks. A monument nineteen tiers high, shaped like a bottle, was erected over the bear’s grave. On a flag waving from the top was printed “To the Departed Spirits.” Mr. Baker died in 1888 and his estate was never kept up: it is now divided into many residential lots. But legends of it remain as testimony to a lighter side of Wellesley history. Soon after the Civil War, in 1871, an important chap¬ ter of town life began with the laying of the cornerstone of the original main building of Wellesley College. The college was founded by Henry Fowl Durant, a lawyer of means who had intended his estate for personal use. With the death of his only son, Mr. Durant gave up his law practice and devoted his time, talents and money to the educational institution. His aim was to “offer to young women opportunities for education equivalent to those usually provided in colleges for young men.” 23 The campus of four hundred acres of meadows and woodlands was the scene of great activity as College Hall, designed in the Renaissance style and overlooking Lake Waban, came into being. Extending for a quarter of a mile, the great building con¬ tained a library, a chapel, dormitories, class¬ rooms and laboratories. The college for wom¬ en was opened in 1875 with an enrollment of three hundred and fourteen. Its first Presi¬ dent was Miss Ada L. Howard. Other build¬ ings followed College Hall, which was de¬ stroyed by fire in 1914, and still others have been erected since then. The open book in the town seal represents Wellesley College. The college has broadened the town’s cul¬ tural life by providing courses, lectures, plays, concerts, poetry readings, and scholarships for local girls. Katherine Lee Bates, Class of 1880, was one of the most distinguished alumnae and professors at Wellesley College, where she taught English Literature for thirty-nine years. Born in Falmouth, Miss Bates came to Grantville (Wellesley Hills) at the age of twelve and was graduated from high school when this was West Needham. The author of thirty-two published volumes, she is best known for her poem “America the Beautiful” which one day may well become our national anthem. Her scholarship was recognized by the awards of three honorary doctors’ de¬ grees. Katherine Lee Bates, author of “America the Beautiful”. Courtesy of the Wellesley Historical Society 24 Wellesley College was not the only private school developed in this town. In 1881, Dana Hall School was founded by the Misses Sarah and Julia Eastman as a preparatory school for Wellesley College. The school began to grow in size and influence under their able direction and later that of Miss Helen Temple Cooke. Soon parents all over the United States were sending their girls to Dana Hall. In 1910, Miss Cooke opened Tenacre and, in 1911, Pine Manor Junior College that in recent years moved to Chestnut Hill. Most Wellesley residents have heard Roger W. Babson’s name mentioned, usually associating him with Babson College or Babson’s Reports. Mr. Bab- son and his first wife, Grace Knight, started the college in 1919 with an enrollment of twenty-five students. The school specializes in training for business administration. One of the most important developments in Wellesley has been that of its nationally renowned A cyclist in Wellesley Square in 1933 . P ublic sch ° o1 system. In 1664, in the settlement of Dedham, the first school was opened in the meet¬ inghouse. When Needham was incorporated in 1711, schooling was held in private homes. The townspeople voted in 1719 to have a moving school that was hauled by oxen to three parts of town for a period. The first stable school in what is now Wellesley was built in 1728 on the county road near present house at 402 Linden Street. In 1730, a school was built on Church Street across from the church. The first mention of a School Committee appears in 1736. A school session usual¬ ly lasted for a month, at the end of which the teacher would move on to another school. There was no school during the winter months because of impassable roads. “That Old Gang of Mine . . 25 In 1790, school districts were laid out, resulting in four districts in West Needham (Wellesley); the Lower Falls, the West End, the school by the West Mee tinghouse and the Centre Brick School. In the Lower Falls the present Annie L. Warren School is the fifth building on the grounds, the first dating from the late 1790’s. In the west part of town, the early school on Church Street was followed by at least three on Central Street, where the land was given by Mr. Hunnewell and the last two schools were named in his honor. The present Hunnewell School was built on the new site in 1938. In 1958 the town noted the 100th anniver¬ sary of the Schoolhouse that is now the Fells Li¬ brary. Meanwhile, in Grantville (Wellesley Hills), the Linden Street school was followed by one at an¬ other site on Forest Street that was moved to make way for the Shaw School opened in 1875. The former building is now the double house at 408-10 Washington Street. Miss Alice L. Phillips, prin¬ cipal of each of the above schools, moved her pupils from the earlier one to Shaw School. When this finally was declared unsafe, the Alice L. Phil¬ lips School was opened in 1911. The first junior high school was held in the Phillips School beginning in 1919. By the 1930’s that school was overcrowded but it was not until 1951 that the present junior high school was final¬ ly built. The first high school classes were kept in 1865 with 30 pupils in attendance. They were located in Maugus Hall, at the site of the present Uni¬ tarian Church when that area was Grantville. The high school was moved to Wellesley Village for a time, then alternated with Grantville for the convenience of students, who had to walk.

Courtesy Wellesley Historical Society first central high school was the red brick building in front of the Phillips School, now used for town offices. The second stood on Kingsbury Street. The present and third high school, built in 1938, was at first named the Gamaliel Bradford Senior High School, after one of our most distinguished citizens. Mr. Bradford grew up in Wellesley but, due to his poor health, he had to be tutored. He became one of the nation’s leading biographers and psychographers. His thirty-one published works of literature were mainly portraits of Ameri¬ can and European men and women. Until recent years the high school retained his name. Wellesley may not have had a very ex¬ citing history (in its development from Indian days), but for a small town it has produced numerous illustrious people. Among them, there has even been a Xobel Peace Prize winner: Emily Greene Bacon of this town shared the 1946 prize with John L. Mott for their long efforts in the cause of international peace. 27 Many people have observed that Wellesley is not “just another suburb.” This is not to suggest that ours is wholly unique; but it can be differentiated from other communities lumped into the “affluent suburban” cate¬ gory. Why? The town of Wellesley has been in existence for a long period of time, as most American communities’ lives are measured. Mot only do we boast a superior girls’ college, an exceptional business training institute, and several private secondary schools; but a popula¬ tion that is large enough and diversified enough to provide the activities which endow a community with character and spirit. Perhaps the academic character¬ istics and institutions of this town have drawn a par¬ ticular kind of individual to this community, as op¬ posed to the neighboring towns, which are not so aca¬ demically orientated. This collegiate presence, coupled with a historical background, which, when added to the population base, provide the ingredients which pro¬ duce a distinct Wellesley character. Suburbs are generally categorized as “affluent”. How¬ ever, Wellesley is far wealthier than most; as an exam¬ ple, one very reputable business source published na¬ tionally, considers the after-tax income per Wellesley household to average out at approximately $20,000 per annum! If Wellesley is as wealthy as described, couldn’t we envision the youth emerging as spoiled juvenile Babbitts, with materialistic values? Because the people are concerned with many diverting their energies to community, civic, and educational endeavors—and be¬ cause there are Wellesley teachers who deeply care about young people and commit themselves to the pro¬ cess of learning, Wellesley has an active, vocal, and dissenting composite of factions. Most communities re¬ flect a wide range of political and social philosophies— from the town liberals to the town conservatives, with a vast throng who remain silent; disinterested. But, Wellesley seems to have fewer silent souls than other places—whether the issue be water fluoridation, swear¬ ing in a play, an all-night graduation party, or seminar days. As a consequence, because some residents, teachers, and young people attempt to focus on and grapple with the real problems of contemporary society, Wellesley becomes a mini-world, looking inward. The citizens are generally well-educated and successful—they are doers; accumulators. Many of the town activities echo the ag¬ gressive success patterns of its residents. From this conglomeration, emerges the youth of Wellesley, a new generation, unique to the years of the late 1960’s. Why? American offspring of well-to-do parents today form a new social and intellectual aris¬ tocracy. The very process of going to school in order to be accepted into college (and Wellesley High School is a college prep mill, with all of the implied status seek¬ ing associated with it) forces today’s youth to disengage themselves from the humdrum work world of the adult; they don’t need to work for their livelihood—their wealth is an accepted fact of life. Consequently, young people have the time, detachment, and, most important, the initiative to look searchingly at our most revered and previously unquestioned myths, institutions, and value systems. The town of Wellesley may very well be materialistic, insular and provincial. The young person of Wellesley may be over-protected, isolated from reality, a meaning, a self identity that is relevant . . . and our schools? . . . they “kill” some kids . . . because of them, some others regress into a teeny-bop world with all its limitations . . . but, in 1969, it appears that more Wellesley young people are asking the right questions about the world in which they live than ever before. 28 1969 brought about many innovations in education at Wellesley High. Teachers were shown that students can learn without texts, and that learning must include many different kinds of learning experiences. However, the teacher remains the primary source of education. The following passages comment on the effects of the teacher, the last being of particular relevance to our times: A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops. Henry Brooks Adams Where there is much desire to learn, there of necessity will be much arguing, much writing, many opinions; for opinion in good men is but knowledge in the making.

Univ. of Maine, Emer¬ son; B.L.I. 56 Our senior year was highlighted by more tolerance and innovation than ever, an outcome possibly of an awareness of incidents and ideas outside our school. Our awareness brought us into contact with other schools, as well as some activities totally divorced from the high school environment, such as Biafra, the local, and national elections. We expanded ourselves and our outlook through the various history electives, particu¬ larly social science and sociology. Our class developed a collective sympathy as we were buffeted in the College Admissions racket. We developed responsibility as we spearheaded organiza¬ tions, money drives, and student movements. We were the leaders, and many of us grew up into that posi¬ tion of trust. The Wellesleyan editors would like to express their gratitude to Miss Anna Craig, Miss Katherine Bronson, Mrs. Elmer Stimetz, Mr. Edward Kilmain and Mr. Salvatore De Fazio for the assistance they gave us in compiling names and information on prominent Wellesley High School graduates. Without their hard work, this section of centennial material could never have been written. Their incalcurable amount of time and effort is deeply appreciated. OVERLEAF. The Class of 1904—Wellesley High School. Courtesy of Miss M. H. Bunker In the 100 years since Wellesley High School had its first graduation in 1869, thousands of young men and women have gone forth from the classrooms into a host of activities all around the world. It would be impossible to record here all those who have distin¬ guished themselves in government, the professions, community service, and the less publicized but equal¬ ly important roles of good citizen, effective parent and worthy human being. We cite here a few of those who have come to our attention as having made a contribution to society, either a little above the average or in some field of special interest, or have served the town of Wellesley through community participation. This group is not mutually exclusive but rather, we feel, illustrative of the great diversity of talent that exists in the human spirit. Wellesley High School is particularly proud of these men and women, as, indeed, it is of every one of its students who has contributed or is contributing, to the forward progress of our community, our nation, and the world. DR. MARSHALL PERRIN (deceased) 1869 Member of first Wellesley School Board—1881. Superintendent of Wellesley Schools and Head of Department of Teutonic Languages at Boston University in the 1890’s. Tutor of Gamaliel Bradford. “Perrin” School is named in his honor. KATHERINE LEE BATES (deceased) Wellesley High School 1873 Newton High School 1876 Wellesley College 1880 Teacher of Mathematics, Dana Hall in Wellesley. Member of faculty, Wellesley College, 1886-1925. (Became chairman of Department of English Literature in 1891). Author of “America, the Beautiful,” first published in 1895. “Bates” School is named in her honor. GAMALIEL BRADFORD (deceased) Mr. Bradford lived in Wellesley from the age of four (1868) until his death in 1932. Because of frail health, he was edu¬ cated at home and, unable to continue at Harvard, he received the private instruction of Professor Marshall Perrin. At the age of nineteen, he adopted literature as a profession, pub¬ lishing novels, plays, and poem and attaining distinction for his psychography, “abstract portraits of people.” In his Journal (November, 1918), he writes of the theoriei of “my young neighbor that was, Roger Baldwin.” The 1952 yearbook was dedicated to Mr. Bradford, “a loyal citizen, lover of Wellesley’s hills and woods, a keen observer of youth.” he was a familiar figure at athletic contests and an invited judge of high school dramatics and the literary efforts of young writers. The high school library is named in his honor.

PEZZETTI 1909 One of the most versatile people ever to come out of Wellesley High School was Mr. Vincent Joseph Pezzetti Jr. He was bom in Wellesley in 1890. He attended Wesleyan University for two years then went to Lehigh University and graduated from there in 1913. He was an outstanding football player at Lehigh and was selected as an All-American quarterback in all national polls, except one, which selected him to sec¬ ond team. At college he majored in mining and geology and when he graduated he went to work in the Sales department for the plant of Bethlehem Steel Company which is noted pri¬ marily for its production of structural steel shapes, quality alloy, and tool steels and a wide range of specialty manufac¬ tured products. He worked his way up in this company to general manager of the plant. He was very active in the civic affairs in the town of Bethlehem, and among many other things, was the president of the Boy’s Club of Beth¬ lehem. Lehigh University honored him with the Alumni Award for his outstanding service to the University. In 1961 Mr. Pezzetti was inducted into the National Foot¬ ball Hall of Fame, an accomplishment that has yet to be repeated by a Wellesley High School graduate. The graduating class of 1916.

Many Wellesley High School graduates have served in the armed forces of our country during the 100 years since 1869 —so many, in fact, that space forbids listing them all and to single out a small group and say, “these deserve special mention”, would be an impossible and an unfair task. Many have won distinguished citations and high rank, all-too-large a number have lost their lives, others have served in the sometimes routine tasks of the military. We salute them all for their selflessness, loyalty, courage and faith in our country. All of us in 1969 owe them an immeasurable debt of gratitude.

The weight of all the air in our school is 166,800 pounds or over three times the total weight of the senior class. A student walks 5.1 miles up and down stairs in a year and wanders 171 miles around the building. He spends 1260 hours in classes including the 90 hours spent eating. 62 The volume of the high school is 2,078,500 cubic feet. This averages to 4,692 cubic feet per senior. We could fill the school with 507,000,000 ping pong balls or 179,- 500,000 copies of Crime and Punishment or 15,500,000 gallons of beer. 63 64 SENIOR CLASS HISTORY The development of our class has been, I suppose, a natural one, followed by most passing through the hallowed halls of Wellesley’s schools. But it’s interest¬ ing to look back on those “formative” years and to see ourselves in the midst of evolution. Seventh grade was terrifying. We were awed by the size and infallibility of the ninth graders. We lived in perpetual fear of being yelled at by the corridor moni¬ tors, or of receiving eighth periods. We all played intra-mural sports with ridiculous intensity. It was of course the beginning of the Beatle craze. The biggest events in our social lives were the daily trips to Friend¬ ly’s after school, and the afternoon dances. By the time we entered eighth grade, we had gained some confidence, and with it came the rejection of “Chinos” and sneakers, and the acceptance of skin-tight white Levis and loafers. For the first time we went to classes with different kids. As a result, strong cliques developed as we began to know each other. We all looked forward to that mystical fall day, when suddenly we would be the leaders of the pack. And then it came; ninth grade was the ultimate. We were the monitors, the gym leaders, the Guys. We set the styles, scorning white socks. We all remember Ivanhoe, Big Brother Is Watching You, our undefeated football team, and Mr. Hanlon’s trip to the United Na¬ tions. But our moment of glory was soon over, and we left the Obed Jordan Speech Contest for midyears and finals. When we found ourselves in tenth grade, we were once again at the bottom of the heap. But the high school was different; the age lines were not nearly as well defined. For the first time we became close friends with upperclassmen. The other striking difference was the sudden feeling of freedom. School tended to be less of a baby-sitting agency, and we often took advantage of the new privileges. The most important thing for us in tenth and eleventh grades was getting the wheels; it seemed that getting one’s license was the final step to long awaited social prominence. We had been told since sixth grade that we should prepare for college, but then it all seemed so unreal. Suddenly the fall of our senior year was upon us, and we had innumerable decisions to make. Yet, somehow, we met our commitments and survived the suspense leading up to that day in April when many of us learned our fates for the next few years. Ours was the Centennial Graduating Class and, from the first music assembly in the fall of our sophomore year, it was evident that our class was different from others. We were to be one of the brightest classes ever to pass through the high school, with twelve National Merit Finalists. We were to excell in sports, with three championship teams; in football, basketball and gym¬ nastics. And we were to be a very active class, pio¬ neering the METCO Program and engineering projects ranging from Rat Day to Seminar Days. Our final act, the All-Night Party, is one which will be long remem¬ bered. When we entered the high school, we came in as a fragmented body. There was considerable static between student factions. Tremendous differences became evi¬ dent at our Senior Election Assembly. But, gradually, we got together; it seemed that, during our senior year, there was a remarkable amount of tolerance—if not understanding. And then on June 6th, our formal association was ended. We left Hunnewell Field and went our separate ways. I see no advantage in being sentimental, but it’s nice to think about the Class of 1969 as a unit. We weathered a lot, sometimes together. I would hope that we will all remember the high school as an end to a good era and the beginning of a better one. —John Nadas 66 First Row: Peter Moore, Jack Wise, Greg Moore, Steve Smith, Debbie Kelso, Mary Williams, Julie Low, Cindy Fay.

Indeed, in some ways we were actually superior to the seniors. We were usually far more prepared for class each day and more interested in the activities, sports and academics of our school. The seniors, we noticed, were somewhat more lazy than we, and often times, were totally “uncool” They seemed to be carried away with THE ART OF LOVING, THE ART OF GROWING, GROWING UP ABSURD, and other socio-psychological works. We looked and observed, and vowed that as seniors we would surely avoid the many “pitfalls” that our older friends fell into. Despite any protestations to the contrary, we were a great asset to our school, as are all sophomores and juniors. We were always there to perform the hun¬ dreds of necessary little jobs, without which the teams and clubs could not function. We added a seemingly intangible sense of stability and reliability in all that we did, whether it be sports or activities. We went about our business with an air of calm, knowing that without us the school could not exist. OVERLEAF. The Shaw School in 1906. Sally Bradford is in the second row, the second from the left.

Sports have been described as “a microcosm of life”, which indeed they are. Playing sports is the joy of a well-conditioned body being forced to its limits. It is the fierce battle of man against man; of mind against body. It is “the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat”; the pride of fulfilling one’s potential, of going beyond pain for that “extra effort.” Sports is working with all types of people for a common goal; the giving and receiving of help to attain that goal; teamwork. And, above all, it is the individual—of what he is capable; where he is strong and weak; how he performs under pressure. Sports is all of this; victory, defeat, work, friendship, joy, pain, and despair. We on the yearbook staff wish to thank Mr. Frederick Steeves for his efforts in researching writing the history of one hundred years of Wellesley High School athletics. His unselfish devotion of time and advice made our work much easier and far more enjoyable. OVERLEAF. The Wellesley High School Hockey Team of 1906. Courtesy of J. R. Hunneman Any chronicle of the history of Wellesley High School over the past 100 years would be incomplete without the inclusion of the inception and develop¬ ment of its sports program. Although the fundamental responsibility of an educational system lies in the teach¬ ing of “reading, writing, and arithmetic” and related academic subjects, a broad and well adjusted sports program provides the cement that molds the student body into an integrated and stimulated group. It would be difficult to visualize a student body striving to achieve some degree of “Esprit de corps” without the seasoned stimulation of a concerted effort on the grid¬ iron, in the gym, or on the baseball diamond. It must have been this philosophy—an attempt to st imulate a spirit of cohesion into the students of Wellesley High School in 1882—that prompted Arthur J. Oldham, then a student, who later was to achieve prominence in the field of medicine, to organize Wellesley’s first football squad and promote a game with Needham in the late Fall of that year. This was started with a round rather than a football, and a nondescript group of poorly equipped and poorly trained youngsters, the Wellesley Senior High School sports program. It has since grown through many years and has come to be recognized as one of the finest in the area. To Dr. Oldham and his gallant group, the Town of Wellesley owes much. In memory and honor of this dedicated public servant, the Senior High School, with the cooperation and generosity of the Wellesley Boosters, established in 1960 the Dr. Arthur J. Oldham Trophy. This trophy is to be awarded each year to the winner of the Wellesley-Needham football game. At this writing, the Trophy is residing in Needham, by virtue of its memorable 1968 victory, but prospects look exceedingly good for its return to Wellesley in 1969. The 1914 Wellesley High Stfew England Championship Football Team As football was the first and most prominent member of our sports activities, it is fitting that in this cen¬ tennial report, we look back over the years and dwell for a moment on dramatic moments and performers in the history of the Red and Black! As for that first moment, we can only envision that day in November 1882, when Dr. Oldham led the first Red Raiders against Needham in what was the first interscholastic game in the nation’s history. It is gratifying to record that the game resulted in a Wellesley victory; the Score: 4-0. We can but shiver in sympathy at the report that the game with Needham in 1887 was played in tempera¬ tures hovering between 2 and 11 degrees below zero. In 1896, when the ball on the opening kick-off was booted into the crowd, it was lugged off by some enterprising youngster. It took a full hour to find another ball so that the game might be played. It was not until 1923 that the sports program was officially taken over by school authorities and became an intigral part of the school program. From that point on, the program, once a haphazard operation of hit or miss experiences, became one of organization and responsibility. As we move into the spectrum of more recent memory, the picture becomes less obscure and through some of our older fans we can re-live some of the never-to-be-forgotten moments of the past. Who will ever forget the Needham game of ’39 when Merrill Frost faked a punt from his own end zone in the closing moments of the game to run 105 yards to avoid what seemed like certain defeat? Again in 1952, when everyone was ready to concide victory to State Defending Champions, Concord; every¬ one, that is, except Co-captains Ed Primavera and Red Cremonni and their fighting teammates who came back from a 13-0 deficit at half-time to overwhelm Concord in the second half, 21-13 in one of Wellesley’s most dramatic victories. Then, in 1961, when the undefeated Raiders of that year battled toe to toe with Framingham and pulled out the win, 22-20 with a gallant goal line defense that had 10,000 fans screaming in hysteria. The Wellesley High School Boy’s Basketball Team in 1943. The 1943 Wellesley High School Girl’s Basketball Team. The very next year, in 1962, against supposedly im¬ movable Natick, Ray Ilg, one of Wellesley’s immortals, ran rough shod over the visiting Redmen to score 4 touchdowns in a seemingly impossible victory; 26-24. These are but a few of the highlights of the many dramatic moments of the past 80-odd years. In passing we have mentioned a few of the individuals closely allied to these events, but there have been more, many more, and we would be remiss in our duty not to recognize so far as is possible, those who contributed so much to our football history. 1.

In our eighty-six years of fielding competition foot¬ ball team, less four years during the first world war, but four teams thus far have managed to go through undefeated—the squads of 1914, 1952, 1954, and 1961. The 1914 Squad, regarded by many old timers, as the greatest ever to represent Wellesley on the grid¬ iron, achieved an awesome record in turning back such fine squads as Medford, Omney, Malden, Brookline, and Newton, all schools considerably larger and sup¬ posedly stronger. Ned Kilman, ex Selectman—Buck Larsson, and Elmer Stover were among the Leading Lights of that renowned group. In 1952, another formidable squad took the field for Wellesley and if ter nine furious encounters—remained undefeated—posting nine straight wins. Among this tal¬ ented squad were Co-captains Crimoni and Primavera, Paul Ziegler, Bob Woods, Jerry Romsland, Johnny McTigue, Ron Gallerane, and Bob Sweeny. The 1954 Squad, although held to a tie in its open¬ ing game, then went on to post seven straight wins and our second undefeated season in three years. Out¬ standing in this group were Dick Donelli, Ed Cronin, Johnny McTigue, and Fritz Arens. In 1961, John Certuse, beloved coach of the Raiders, developed what most observers regard as the most powerful of all Wellesley elevens, blessed with size, speed and experience. This spirited group rolled up two hundred six points in nine games to capture the Bay State League Championship and wind up un¬ defeated. Members of this talented group included Andy McNeil, Mike Mastro, Ray Ilg, Bob McBay, Ronnie Peek, and George Brims. The 1906 Football Squad—Wellesley High School. Courtesy of J. R.

S� 8g 1 155 WE’RE NUMBER 1” The 1968 version of the Wellesley Red Raiders will never be forgotten. Experience, hustle, and a never-say-die Head Coach with the name of George Kerivan added up to a first place finish for Wellesley in a strong Bay State League. From the beginning of the season, they were the underdogs to almost everyone in the League—to everyone, that is, except to the team itself. The players and the coaches had a pride in their squad, as they went on to prove that this was to be no ordinary year. When the final gun had ended the season, Wellesley had come out on top with a spectacular 8-1 record, with the single loss coming at the hands of an inspired Needham team, after Wellesley had already clinched the league championship. Excellent coaching from Head Coach Kerivan and his as¬ sistants, Coaches McDermott and Edwards, as well as inspira¬ tional leadership from Tri-Captains Phil Elmassian, Dave Johnson, and George Doran played important roles in the suc¬ cess of this centennial year’s dream team. It was by no means termed as simply a lucky team, as it utilized a tremendous amount of ability, skill, and drive to show the other teams that this was to be a Wellesley year. To the surprise of many, it was quickly proven that the Red Raiders were now the team to beat. The Brain Trust: Head Coach Kerivan and All-Star Quarterback Phil Elmassian. Grabbing the face mask was about the only way to stop Jeff Spilman. 156 Elmassian makes the call. Jeff Spilman turns the comer against Wal¬ pole as “Willie Joe” Elmassian follows the play.

The League’s Best Offense - Ttie Powerful Combin ation of Hard Blocking and Strong Running Nets 180 Points. No individual alone was the whole team this year, as every player did his share to con¬ tribute to the great record. Many players were fortunate in view of the fact that most of them had all seen a lot of action during the previous season. One very valuable member was mas- sive fullback, Dave Johnson, who scored close to one hundred points in the nine-game sched¬ ule. Due to Johnson’s great speed and powerful running, there was no doubt in anyone’s mind that he was the best fullback in a league full of highly-touted backs. Another of the team’s best was colorful quarterback Phil Elmassian, who personally guided the offense to a total of one hundred and eighty points. Elmassian’s ability to run as well as pass proved easily that he was one of Bay State League’s finest signal- callers. The rest of the offensive backfield was manned by Jim Cannava and Jeff Spilman. Cannava was a highly underrated Senior half¬ back who could break loose at any moment while Spilman, a standout Junior, was a con¬ stant threat to gain valuable yardage. One important aspect of this backfield was its depth, with such backs as Senior speedster Bobby Rupp, Juniors Walter Powell, Randy Borgatti, Jim Townsend, and Scott Sutherland, as well as Sophomores Ace Adams and Skip Sullivan always ready to help out.

The Speed That Made The Difference—Wellesley’s Defensive Line. 1968 - The Year of the Wellesley Defense The line was equally talented, and was headed by Tri-Captain George Doran, a fiery, hardnosed guard who liked to “smack” on both offense and defense. Other standouts in the starting line were seniors Jim Rowan, a fine end, Gary Canoni and Larry Corda, who shared the right tackle spot, and Jeff Cum¬ mings at center. Juniors Pete Nahass, Jim Far¬ rell, and Steve Sutherland also combined to ruin the opposing defense. Backup linemen, such as Seniors Bob Poluzzi and John Walsh, who both played defense as well, Bob Little¬ field, Chris Winslow, and Jay Robbins, Juniors Carl Zucchelli, Bill Hewett, Chris Halligan, Jack Watkins, John Birk, Dave Copplestone, John Filbin, and Bob Wright, and Sophomore Brian Hamilton all helped to give an added boost to the Wellesley cause. All the defense had to do was simply stop the other team, and that’s exactly what they did. Among others, the stars of the defensive squad were Leroy Anderson, a powerful Sen¬ ior center, and Juniors Hugh Johnston, Bobby Parr, and Larry Vielhaver, who showed great promise for the coming season. A tough back¬ up defensive safety, Tom Balboni, was a Sen¬ ior player who also came in handy in the secondary. All in all, it’s improbable that many will forget the 1968 Champion Red Raiders, as it was truly an incomparable team. Now that it’s all over, however, the Class of 1969 hopes that next year’s team can successfully defend the league crown next season and for years to come. Elmassian waits as The Defense has its turn. 160 Leroy Anderson Awaits The Kill. Jim Rowan, a standout on both offense and defense, moves in to make The Stop against Natick. Bob Poluzzi drops a Natick runner after a short gain in a game where Natick could gain only 50 yards all day. Dedham’s quarterback is about to feel the force of The Wellesley Defense as Doran, Anderson and Sutherland zero in. The Play of The Year: Dave Johnson’s 35 yd Run to Glory against Natick.

And, while not as successful as the football team, all three had excellent seasons. By Wellesley field hockey standards, this year ' s record of 8-2-2 was a little disappointing. Despite a tremendous effort, the team could only achieve a third place finish in the Bay State League. Under the skillful guidance of Coach Cantrell, the forward line spearheaded one of the most feared of¬ fenses in the league, as it racked up 42 goals during the season. Co-captains Pirn Ramsay, Cindy Fay, Pam Bradley, and Mel Littleton all efficiently rushe d the goal, as opposing defenses will surely testify. Chris Palmer, Linda Cleverdon and Cindy Price were excel¬ lent on offense while Bonnie Galagan eagerly waited for the valuable tip-in. The combined efforts of these girls helped to make the opposing teams ' job that much more difficult. TWIRLERS.

Missing: Jim Connolly The field hockey team, however, was more than just a great offensive team. The defense proved to be one of the league’s stingiest, as it allowed just 10 goals all season. Goalies Anne Johnson and Marta Lundman made numerous key saves throughout the season and were ably assisted by Co-captain Sue Marchetti, Ev Jealous, Joy Mitten and Debbie Stansell, all of whom were outstanding in the difficult fullback position. Halfbacks Alison Knowles, Sue Hurlbert, Joy Johnson, Nancy Leyland, Liz Becker, and Edie Haffenreffer were invaluable to the team’s defense as they did a fine job backing up the forward line, contributing greatly to the team’s successful season. As was the case with the field hockey team, the 1968 soccer team finished in 3rd place in the tough Bay State League. The team’s record of 7-6-1 is deceiving in that four of the losses were to Braintree, a perennial power, and Needham, the eventual State Champions. One of the many factors contributing to Wellesley’s success this year was the team’s ability to score goals. The aggressive play of the forward line of All Star Tim Beck, Steve Marchetti, Captain Fran Keefe, Bob Burger, and Juniors Doug Stoddard, Ben Fossett and Jack Keefe was instrumental in many victories as they constantly harassed opposing defenses into committing mistakes, often resulting in Wellesley goals. Tim Beck and Doug Stoddard paced the team in scoring with fifteen points each, with the other forwards contrib¬ uting fewer but equally important goals. 165 CROSS COUNTRY.

Third Row: Jim Parker, Grant Eustis, Chip Boorman, Jeff Taggart, Mike Dolph, Doug Mc eish, Wayne Hyatt, Ned Proctor, Bill Gardner, George Martin; Manager, Bob Spellman. The team’s solid defensive play was also very im¬ portant in its successful season. Halfbacks Mike Hayes, A1 Kerr, Dave Barnes, Gary Maupus, Jim Connolly, A1 Himmelberger and Chris Brown all saw plenty of action in their demanding position. Their “heads-up” play contributed to both the team’s offense and defense, as did the outstanding play of fullbacks Curt Rau and Captain Frank Emerson, in the goal, Captain Tom Villa could be counted on to make the big save. Though by no means satisfied with their third place finish, the team was pleased with its performance under Mr. Mazukina, the new head coach, and hope that future teams can improve on its record, and with a large number of veterans returning next year, the prospects look bright.

Despite tough losses to Natick, Braintree and up¬ start Milton, the Cross Country team finished fourth in the Bay State League with a 6-3 record. Although losing to Natick by 3 points—29-26—Co-captain Mike Donahue provided what was perhaps the bright spot of the season when he broke the Wellesley course record, held by Crawford Lindsey. Mike went on to win fourth place in the conference meet, in which the team also finished fourth. Co-captain Joe Murray also had a good season as he came up with fine perform¬ ances in key meets. The fine running of Sophomore Brian Cass was also a pleasant surprise. Other varsity stalwarts were senior Dave McNeish, and juniors Jeff Dosdall, Charlie Lindsey, and Jim Regan. With only three seniors leaving the team, title hopes for next year seem very bright with a strong, proven nucleus returning.

WINTER SPORTS The Red Raider hockey team did not have one of its better seasons this year finishing with a 5-10-3 record which was only good enough for seventh place in the Bay State League. This was the first season as coach for former Bruin star John Peirson, and the team improved throughout the year under his direction. By the latter third of the season the Red Raiders were playing as well as any team in the league. Wellesley s captain and number one player was Tom Villa. With his explosive style of play the fiery captain gained a reputation in the Bay State League with fans and players alike. A three-year varsity veteran, Tom was named to play in the All-Star game at the season’s end. Also named to play in the All-Star game for Wellesley was junior center Chris Hurley, the team’s leading scorer with nineteen points. Runnerup in team scoring was Chris’s line- mate, Steve Marchetti, who had to be content with eighteen points. Rounding out the first line was another first-rate senior, Paul Kimball, who complemented Hurley and Marchetti well with his steady style of play. Wellesley had a good second line in sophomores Chad Cal¬ lahan and Bob Traylor, and senior Bob Burger. With two sea¬ sons still ahead for them, Traylor and Callahan are definitely future all- tar material. Also appearing on the second line were senior Fran Keefe, junior Bob Peirson, and sophomore sensa¬ tion Tim Maples. The other senior forwards for Wellesley were utility-men Rich Joseph and Mike Hayes. The enthusiasm and humor dis¬ played by Richy, and the fine penalty-killing of Mike were valuable assets to “The Club”, as any of their teammates can testify. The mainstays of the defense, along with Villa, were senior Tom Coleman and junior Bruce Doyle. All thr ‘e spent a con¬ siderable amount of time in the penalty box, and served warn¬ ing to the other teams in the league that Wellesley would not be intimidated. Coleman’s rugged style and Doyle’s heads-up play were a great help to the team. Villa’s length-of-the-ice rushes were the most exciting moments of any game, and it is doubtful that there was anyone in the league better than he was at carrying the puck out of the defensive zone. In the next two years, the Red Raiders should be well-supplied with defensemen, as sophomores Tom Sexton and Rick Kerrivan, receiving alot a varsity experience this season, and sophomore Dan Smyth, brought up near the end of the year, all have promising futures. Wellesley’s goalies were seniors Peter May and Dick Brooks. Peter had backed John Smolens the previous two seasons and Dick had played for two years on the junior varsity team. Both played very creditably, robbing opposing forwards many times. Although the Red Raiders were not a league power this year, they were much improved over the previous season, and with many sophomores and juniors returning next year, the outlook is bright. 178 WRESTLING TEAM First Row , Left to right: Steve Faranini, John Noonan, Bob White, Joe Clement, Dave Hub- bell, Jerry Feldman, and Dave Paltrineri. Second Row: Mike Archibald, Mike Faranini, Ken Stone, Pete Caruso, Robbie D’Angelo, Mark Mendelson, and Dave Copplestone. Third Row: Bob Parr, Bob Brown, Bob Spel- man, Leroy Anderson, George Martin, Wayne Martin, Wes Smith, and Mr. Campana— coach. Three starters graduated last year and three new classes were added, but the team was successful in smothering most of its opponents. It lost only two extremely close meets and sent ten men to the state meet where the team placed fourth. Juniors Hugh Johnston and Roy Garron both wrestled to the finals of the state meets where they bowed to tough com¬ petitors. Leroy Anderson became state heavyweight champion, while Mark Mendelson placed fifth. Despite serious injuries, co-captains Dave Hubell and Joe Clement finished first and fourth, respectively, in the district meet. This year’s basketball team finished the league season with a record of 16-2, earning a tie for the league championship. Prominent among their many victories was a 52-49 upset win over Braintree, early in the season, which established the Raiders as true contenders for the title. This season was par¬ ticularly gratifying for Coach McDermott, because no one predicted that the team would be a threat. It was the year of the transfer student, as Wellesley added Joe Carper and Ben Fossett, both of whom became starters. These two, with Co-Captain Gary Maupas, Co-Captain Chris Lovett, and Roger King, rounded out the starting five. Wel¬ lesley’s greatest advantage lay in its’ height up front, with 6’9” Roger King, 6’6” Joe Carper and 6’4” Gary Maupas, making it the tallest team in the league. In addition, the Raiders’ backcourt of Chris Lovett and Ben Fossett was the most potent in the area. Wellesley made its’ presence felt on the ten man all-star team, with three members—Carper, Fos¬ sett and Lovett. Others who played leading roles on the Varsity were Mel Reeves and George Doran, as did seniors Jeff Nichols, Ed Pierce and John Nadas. Wellesley qualified for the Tech Tournament in the Boston Garden. They were the second team to do so in the school’s history. The Raiders won their first game against Cathedral High, 69-64, a closely fought battle. The quarter finals pitted Wellesley against traditional rival Needham, whom the Varsity had beaten twice during the regular season. But it was not to be three in a row. The team lost a bitter contest 57-55, with the winning hoop being made with just 8 seconds to play. In spite of this disappointing loss, the team will long be remembered as the best to have graced the Larsson Gym, where they remained undefeated.

The boys’ team placed in a close second to Wayland; while the girls, under the leadership of Captains Judy Waite and Rose Penndorf, placed third. The high scorers of the year were Judy Waite and Rose Penn¬ dorf, Dave Ferris and Scott Powell.

Losing only two close meets, the team was invited to com¬ pete in the State Team Meet, where the top seven teams in the state compete for the state titles. Wellesley placed fifth, working under the handicap of co-Captain Beth Glenn’s ankle injury. Co-Captains Sandy Snitzer and Julie McVicker placed first and second respectively in floor exercise; Chris Hoyle took fifth in vault¬ ing, and Sandy Snitzer again placed second on the balance beam. Six girls qualified to com¬ pete in the State Individual Meet: Beth Glenn, Amy Stewart, Chris Hoyle, Sandy Snitzer, Julie McVicker and Nancy Parry. In that meet, Sandy Snitzer won second place in floor exer¬ cise and fourth on the beam.

For the third year in a row, Wellesley High’s girls’ basketball team captured the Bay State League title. From the very beginning of the season, it was evident to all that this team could and would go far. The girls were co¬ captained by Seniors Cindy Fay, who led the forwards as overall high scorer, and Ev Jealous, who along with Junior Debbie Fulham, and Sophomore Anne Navoni, represented the defense. Jane Crook, Pirn Ramsay and Pam Bradley were invaluable to the victories of Wellesley. One-sided victories against tough teams from Braintree, Needham and Framing¬ ham South, clearly showed the ability of the forward line to shoot, and the skill of the defense to keep out the opponents. With the great back up from Seniors Nancy Leyland and Debbie Stansell, Juniors Mel Littleton, Debbie Villa and Karen Agasti and Sophomore Liz Becker, Wellesley was always assured a win. For the first time, as a result of their win¬ ning season, the team was invited to the South¬ eastern Massachusetts Girls’ Invitational Basket¬ ball Tournament. Here, they made it to the finals against Hanover in division A, but were defeated 39-33 giving them an overall season of 12 wins and 2 losses. The coach of this year’s team was Mrs. Jenny Cantrell, who, asifar as the team is con¬ cerned, is the best coach in any league. This being her last year of teaching, the team was eager to give just a little more to make it a good season. Her ability to understand and supervise each girl made every practice and game more worthwhile to all. The swimming team has been constantly injured by the annual change of management it has undergone— four different coaches in four years. This year’s coach, Mr. Touhey, (also a new member of the History Department), and co-captains Dave McNeish and John O’Connor worked to reorganize the ranks. The sea¬ son’s record was not outstanding, but there were sev¬ eral high points and there appears to be much potential for next year’s team. The biggest surprise this year was co-captain John O’Connor. For the past two years, he has been the team’s best backstroker and was undefeated in dual meets last year. This year, however, backstroke was already strong and the team needed support in the freestyle events. Settling into the 200-yard freestyle, John was once again undefeated in dual meet com¬ petition and went on to come in second in the league meet, fourth in the Eastern Mass. Tourney, and eighth in the state. Not to be stopped there, he tied the school record in the 400-yard freestyle. Another event in which Wellesley showed its strength was the 400-yard freestyle relay, which was also un¬ beaten in dual meets. The school record was smashed by several seconds twice during the season—the first time by John O’Connor, and juniors John McAvoy, Dave Patten and Dave Porter; the second time by the co-captains Dave McNeish and John O’Connor, Dave Patten and sophomore Doug McNeish. The power in backstroke this year was supplied by John McAvoy, and juniors John Connors and Charlie Wallace. Butterfly, plagued somewhat by its loss of Joe Murray to a career in journalism, was swum by Dave McNeish, senior Chris Bennett and sophomore Grant Eustis. Opposing breaststrokers were touched out by junior Mike Ewing—senior Kent Howard and jun¬ ior John Mumford. Consistent point-earners in freestyle were Dave McNeish and John O’Connor, juniors Dave Patten, Dave Porter, and Sam Levine and sophomores Doug Bennett, Doug McNeish, and Tim McClaran. In the 200-yard individual medley—a combination of all four strokes—Dave McNeish and Chris Bennett pulled in points every meet. With only four seniors leaving, this year’s depend¬ able juniors and sophomores look forward to a great team next season. One of the highlights of the season was the first meet ever held between the girls’ and boys’ teams. The meet could have gone either way down to the final relay, in which John O’Connor false-started while flex¬ ing for a photographer. As a result, the girls’ were victorious by a one-point margin, and the boys swore vengeance for next year.

The Girl’s Swimming Team, comprised mainly of valuable seniors, finished a good season, under the capable coaching of Mrs. Betty Catinella. The record for the 1968-1969 season was 9-1-0, with a second place finish at the Eastern Massachusetts Championships, as well as in the League. Seniors, who put forth their best aquatic skills, finally learned that practice conserves valuable seconds. Cyndie Johnston, Charlotte Jones, Sue Coyle, Jodi Cun- niff, Sue Hurlbert, and Renee Moore all left the Cham¬ pionships with awards. Chris Palmer won a gold medal in the 25 yard freestyle and Cathy Hegarty won a silver in the 100 yard breaststroke. They all will be missed in the years to come. Strong sophomore and junior swimmers lime Barbara Kelley, Edith Haffenreffer, Debby Kelsch, Michelle Varga, Karen Burzyanski, Pat Lowell, Sara Carens, Nancy Segel, and Ruth Egbert were a vital part of the winning season. At the annual banquet, held at the 1812 House, the swimming awards were announced. Edith Haffenreffer is the 1970 captain. Nancy Segel received the most valuable diver award. Ruth Egbert captured the most improved sophomore award. Cathy Hegarty, the 1969 captain of the team, won the Catinella Bowl for sports¬ manship, and tied with Sue Coyle for most valuable swimmer. Juniors Carol Hegarty and Terry Peters served as managers for the team, helping Mrs. Catinella keep the paper work in order. The Red Raider Gymnastic team had its best season in many years as it swept the Bay State League, defeating all seven league teams and posting an overall record of 9 wins and 2 losses. Wellesley lost only to Newton by half a point in a very close meet, and to Lexington, who placed second in the state, by two points. On March 15, the Raiders established themselves as the fifth-ranked team in the state. Co-captains Tom Roys and Jim Rowan both had strong senior years as they led the team to the Conference title. Tom, competing regu¬ larly on four pieces, took second place in the Conference meet in the All-Around event. Two weeks later, he went on to place fourth in the State Individuals Meet on long horse vaulting. Jim, climax¬ ing three years of varsity competition on the “beast” (side horse), placed first in the Conference and then tied for number one in the state. Other outstanding seniors included Gary Schirmer who worked three events and excelled in free exercise. Gary won this last event at the Conference meet and finished sixth in a strong field of competitors in the state. Tim Beck, another three-piece man, was a solid competitor on the parallel bars, still rings, and the high bar (which he placed fourth in the Conference on). Andy Shirley, having sustained the team’s only serious injury—a sprained wrist, was forced to give up free ex and concentrate on high bar work. Andy on the high bar, Ed Boyd on the parallel bars, and Byron Brown on the still rings, gave the team important depth. Byron was able to place third in the Con¬ ference meet to finish a good season on the rings. Five juniors played an important part in the team’s performance, too: Phil Schirmer, competing second in free ex, Tom Sullivan, a strong third on the side horse, Scott McCabe, next year’s first man on the rings, Bill Pierce, an enthusiast who backed up the high bar team, and lastly a newcomer this year to the squad, Rick Wall, who blossomed into a long horse vaulter, and late season into an important ex man. Bill, Tom and Rick will all tricaptain next year’s Raiders. This year will see the departure of eight seniors who formed the basis for the Red Raiders’ championship team. Coach St. Cyr looks to the development of the considerable potential of the underclassmen for another winning season in 1970.

SPRING SPORTS The Girl’s Tennis Team finished a fine 1969 sea¬ son by coming in second in the Bay State League competition. Led by Coach Perry and co-captains Pam Bradley and June Kuniholm, the girls compiled an 11-1 record, suffering their only loss to a strong Needham team who won by a score of 3-2. The team will be losing the aid of their senior members; June Kuniholm and Deanie Leonard—an undefeated doubles team, and Pam Bradley and Linda Hoffman in the singles. How¬ ever, the team can look forward to another good season next year with the return of juniors Karen Bedford, Kathy Murray, and Edie Haffenreffer, as well as sophomores Dee Martin, Sue Hollinger, and Amy Stewart. Good Luck to next year’s team! The track team closed out its dual meet season with wins over Dedham and Needham. The Dedham meet, won 89 to 42, was the result of a fine team effort which enabled Wellesley to take thirteen out of a possible fifteen first places. Co-captain Bob Rupp broke his own record in the 440 and the 880 relay team of Tim Beck, Bob Borgatti, Jim Townsend and Bob Rupp also broke the school record. In the Needham meet, the team eased past a tough Needham squad 71V 2 to 59V2. In a move to pick up extra points, Tim Beck was dropped from the low hurdles to the 100 and he promptly set a new record. Ironically, while Tim was setting the 100 record, Frank Emerson, who had been dropped from the high to the low hurdles, broke Tim’s record in the lows. Despite these fine ef¬ forts, Needham hung tough and forced Wellesley to win the relay to clinch the meet, which they did handily. With these two victories, the team brought its record to eight wins and one loss which was good for second place in the Bay State League. Their only loss was to undefeated Braintree. The team went on to do well in both the conference (finishing third) and the state meets. This year’s team had many talented and versatile per¬ formers as shown by the many broken records. Leading scorers for the team were seniors Tim Beck and Frank Emerson. Tim was the league’s best low hurdler and best broad jumper while Frank was the league’s best high hurdler and also a very fine pole vaulter. Tim scored 101 points this year which was by far the most points ever scored by a Wellesley trackman. In the state meet, Frank and Tim both took seconds in the high and low hurdles respectively in Class B. Another outstanding performer was senior co-captain, Bob Rupp, who was undefeated this year in the 440 and who also anchored the record-breaking relay team Seniors Tom Coleman in the 100 and broad jump, Phil Elmassian in the javelin, Bob Boucher and Jay Rob¬ bins in the discus, Nat Bottomley in the 220, John Walsh and Jim Rowan in the pole vault, Leroy Anderson in the 100 and co-captain, Mike Donahue, in the two mile also contributed many points. The outlook for next year’s team appears good with many fine juniors returning like high scoring Brad Chandler in the high hurdles and the high jump, Mark Laux in the shot, Jim Townsend in the 220 and Jeff Dosdall and Jim Regan in the long distances. Fine sophomores Brian Cass in the 880 and handyman Bob Borgatti should also help the team. 200 BASEBALL TEAM First Roiv, Left to right , (sitting): Bill White —manager, Larry Devine, Pete Nahass, Rob Burger, Fran Keefe, Gary Maupas, Ed Peirce, and Bill Olsen. Second Row , (standing): Steve Sutherland—manager, Skip Sullivan, Larry Vielhaver, Bob Parr, Chris Halligan, Walt Powell, Jack Keefe, Ace Adams, and Mr. Kerivan—coach. In a tough Bay State League, the Wellesley Golf Team, led by Coach Burgess, finished a strong fourth with a 6-2-1 record. Throughout the year the spar¬ kling play of the 1 man and captain Richard “Woody” Joseph kept the Raiders in contention. His partner, Dave Barnes, was superbly consistent, losing only one match all year. The 3 and 4 tandem of Bill Salatich and Paul Kimball came through in many tough matches to contribute to the effort. Noteworthy of these two was the even par 36 turned in by Bill Salatich, which helped salvage a tie in the final match. The final two¬ some of Chris Hurley and John Noonan, both juniors, bailed the team out many a time with clutch putting on the last hole. All in all, the team enjoyed a very successful season, and with Chris Hurley returning as next year’s captain, this success is sure to continue. The 1969 Wellesley Varsity Baseball Team, under the supervision of Coach Kerivan, finished the season with a respectable 11-7 record. This year saw Wellesley baseball win almost as many games as it had in the previous two years combined, and earned the Raiders fourth place in the league. This was primarilv due to improved defense and pitching. “Ace” Adams, a Bay State All-Star, showed that his value to the team is equal both as a pitcher and a hitter. Gary Maupas, Bill Olsson, Larry Devine, Larry Vielhaber and Peter Nahass rounded out the solid pitching corps, which turned in some very steady games. Bob Burger, Gary Maupas, Walt Powell and Skip Sullivan held down the infield positions and came through with many timely hits. Fran Keefe, Jack Keefe, Steve Marchetti and Peter Nahass all took turns in the outfield while Eddie Pierce did the catching. Next year’s team looks to be solid in the second and third base positions with Skip Sullivan and Walt Powell returning. Jack Keefe, “Ace” Adams, Pete Nahass, Bob Parr and Chris Halligan will be the other veterans on the team next year. The 1970 version of Wellesley baseball should play some exciting ball with the addition of some J. V. players to the team.

The Wellesley Lacrosse team placed third after meeting tough competition with undefeated Lincoln- Sudbury (8-7, 8-6), and Wayland 8-7. The defense, made cf mostly first year players, in¬ cluded goalie Karen Bruczynski, sophomores Ann Navoni and Liz Becker, showed superb skill but were unable to prevent the goals scored at the last minute of the games. The attack led by Co-captains Cindy Fay and Pirn Ramsey averaged about 9 goals a game. Each co¬ captain averaged about 4 goals a game. Other depend¬ able scorers were Jane Crook, Nancy Mann, Mel Littleton and Nancy Leyland. The defense will be strong next year but the offense will be open for promising candidates. The Wellesley High School girls athletic department is sorry to see Coach Cantrell retire as she has been more than a coach and teacher to most girls. Because of her coaching ability her Lacrosse teams have placed 1st in the league 2 out of 3 years. 202 The 1969 Wellesley High School Ten¬ nis team, coached by Mr. Andrew, had another sparkling season, finishing with a 14-4 record in a tough Bay State League. Balance appeared to be the key to this team ' s success. Sophomore Bob Traylor manned the 1 position and only lost 4 matches in league play. Sen¬ ior George Doran played in the 2 slot and compiled a 15-3 record. Ver¬ satile Capt. Peter May, a good doubles man, switched between 3rd singles and 1st doubles and held these two tough positions in good manner. Seniors John a«las and Jim Connolly also contribut¬ ed greatly to this year ' s team, as did Junior Capt.-elect Jeff Sagansky. Senior Kent Howard teamed with sophomore John Horniday to form a winning com¬ bination which only lost twice in 18 matches. The high point of the season came when Wellesley, who had to beat two tough opponents, Natick and Framing¬ ham South, to qualify for the State Tournament, came up with thrilling 3-2 victories to gain a tourney berth. Wellesley entered the states and beat undefeated Arlington 4-1, and then lost to the eventual State Champs, New Bedford, 4-1. Although Wellesley will lose 4 letterman through graduation, next year ' s outlook looks bright due to the fact that the Junior High had its finest team ever field¬ TENNIS TEAM Left to right: Bob Traylor, Kent Howard, George Doran, Pete May, John Horniday.

SAILING TEAM First row , left to right: Carole Welch, Lucile Coffin, Dave Porter, Sue Christsen, Susan Morser. Second row: Jack Dennen, Rob Dale, Mr. Mear. In its first year as an officially recognized school team, the Wellesley High School Sail¬ ing Team compiled a record of 2 wins, 2 losses, and 2 ties. Under the leadership of Coach Mear, of the Science Department, and Captain Dave Porter, the team set many precedents. Last fall the team beat Simmons College and tied the M.I.T. freshmen. This spring the team beat the Lennox School but lost to Proctor Academy and Tabor, while tying the M.I.T. freshmen again. It was quite an honor for the team to be asked to join the New England Prep School Sailing Associa¬ tion. In the New England Prep School Cham¬ pionships sponsored by M.I.T. and held on the Charles River in Cambridge, our team placed twelfth out of 16 teams competing. With skippers Dave Porter, Jack Dennen and Bob Dale plus crew members Carol Welsh, Sue Morser, and Sue Christiansen returning in the fall, the school can look forward to hearing great reports from the team in its races to come. 203 205 207 210 - f f 211 213 FALL FOOTBALL 8 Wins 1 Loss FIRST PLACE 18 Braintree 6 14 Norwood 8 8 Fram.

Has it ever been so clear as to what “guts and “pride really mean to us? Perfection was never the ulti¬ mate goal, but frequently a by-product. Thus, we have gained for ourselves the memories of a superb sports season. We have witnessed the rebirth of such intangi¬ bles as school spirit, competitiveness, and pride. As is true with many activities in our lives, our own individual efforts and contributions determine their value to us. This is particularly true of the school clubs, and other related groups. For the person who adds only physical presence, most activities will give simply a feeling of belonging; a feeling of being a part of a group. Conversely, the person who contributes to a club will be rewarded far beyond his efforts. He will have the joy of true involvement, of planning and of executing activities for others and he will develop the friendship of those similiarly involved. And, far more important, he will become aware of certain intangibles, all of which will serve him throughout life. He will learn how to see his ideas through to their conclusion, over¬ coming the difficulties which will mark this route. He will learn how to work with different types of people; when to compromise for the sake of harmony and when his convictions must remain unchanged. Above all, he will come to an understanding of himself; of what he is capable; where his strong points lie; how to avoid those areas in which he is weak, It is of this person that Kierkegaard writes: “To venture causes anxiety, but not to venture is to lose one’s self . . . And to venture in the highest sense is precisely to become conscious of one’s self.” ♦ It has just been in the last twenty years that the extra curricular activities in the form of clubs have begun to grow. Many dedicated people have taken a lot of time and effort to found and organize these activities. We owe them a great deal of thanks for making the student life in the school more interesting and challenging. Special credit goes to Lynne Griffiths for research¬ ing and writing the history of the clubs. OVERLEAF. The 1949 Wellesleyan Staff. The 1954 “Miss Millicent ' s Chamelions” before it became known as the Drama Club DRAMA CLUB There has been a Drama Club in this school for an unknown number of years, but it has been at least twenty and probably much more. During the forties, the group was known as “Miss Millicent’s Chamelions”. They were involved in presenting a series of one-act plays, some of which were written by the students. When Mr. Fitzsimmons became the advisor, the name of the group was changed to simply the Drama Club. They now put on plays of all varieties, as well as go on theater trips, present films, and engage in other activities in the field of the performing arts. 1949—Dramatic Club BOWLING CLUB was first organized in 1964 by students interested in bowling competitively. They involve themselves in competition with teams from other schools, and the w inners are determined by the total pin fall of the three members on each team, after two games. Mr. Hall is the advisor and he says the club is run entirely by the members and has no permanency. “When there are no kids to keep it going it will terminate its life cycle.” 1949—Junior Red Cross JUNIOR RED CROSS The Junior Red Cross was founded September 8, 1917, and every school which gave 25c per student became an auxiliary of the Red Cross. In our school there has been a jr. Red Cross club made up of those students especially interested in Red Cross work. During World War I they assisted Wellesley Red Cross members with sew¬ ing, making surgical dressings, and collect¬ ing clothing which was packed and sent to the Commission of Relief in Belgium. During World War II Junior Red Cross members again helped produce surgical dressings, did sewing, were trained in first aid, water safety, home nursing and nutri¬ tion. The Wellesley Chapter of the Red Cross was even housed in the high school build¬ ing from 1940 to 1946. Currently the group has held weekly parties for retarded chil¬ dren in Wellesley. They also make trips to Medfield State Hospital, Cushing Hos¬ pital, Massachusetts Hospital for Crippled Children in Canton, and Massachusetts General Hospital. HISTORY FORUM The History Forum was started in 1955 or 1956 by Mr. Burgess so that students interested in history and government would have an opportunity to meet and discuss social and political issues informal¬ ly. They have participated in the East Coast Model United Nations and in 1968 enrolled in the Junior World Affairs council. IT k ffa urn ■ f J til IV ■ Ve � ■ i W i ■ 1 J J JUNIOR CLASSICAL LEAGUE The Junior Classical League is an international organization formed to help those involved in it to better understand the ancient civilizations of Greece and Rome, and to keep to understand and appraise the world of today. The Wellesley chapter of J.C.L. was started by Mrs. Mary Keeman who had been a sponsor to League for two years before coming to Wellesley. In her second year here Mrs. Keeman organized the Club. The first meeting was held in Septem¬ ber 1964 and consisted of fourteen juniors and seniors. In 1966 the club was expanded to two sections consisting of first and second year Latin students as plebians and the official group of juniors and extended to all Latin students inter¬ ested in joining so as to cultivate a unified spirit for those taking Latin. The club meets once a month during the school year and has grown to seventy-seven members. The 1957 Key Club members KEY CLUB Was formed in 1954 by the Wellesley Kiwanis club with which it is associated. It was organized as a service club, dedi¬ cated to work in the school community. It is also an exclusive club with a limited member of students elected each year. The Key Club has given parties for retarded children with the Junior Red Cross mem¬ bers, as well as run the concession at football games. STUDENT COUNCIL STYLUS No one really knows when a student council was f ormed at W.H.S. but it has been an established institution for many years and Wellesley was certainly one of the first schools in the area to have one. Years ago the members’ primary jobs were to serve as a hall patrol and office messengers. Today it is considered the most important school organization, and involves itself with everything from charity fund-raising to social events. Wellesley High School Orchestra—1943 SCIENCE CLUB Mr. Alfonso D’Aniello started the Science Club in 1961 to provide those students who had a special interest in the sciences with the opportunity to explore them more thoroughly. The club has had many interesting lecturers come to speak to club members as well as interested students. They have had the opportunity to take trips to visit industries, hospitals, and research centers to have first hand experiences with the techniques and methods used in different areas. The Stylus, Wellesley High’s own literary magazine, was started in 1964 by Dru Crigler, a student, and was taken over in 1965 by Betsy Nadas. In the advisor’s, Mr. Kabatznick’s words “the Stylus was the product of evolution, a Phoenix that arose from the ashes of the Tangent, a magazine that failed because of its literary limitations”. The Stylus attempts to represent creative work of the entire student body as well as the staff. NATIONAL HONOB SOCIETY The Wellesley chapter of N.H.S. was started in 1934 to recognize those honor students who fulfill the quali¬ fications set up by the national organization. Each year about 20 juniors and 40 seniors are elected to the society on the basis of their character, service, leader¬ ship, and scholarship. The members receive the priv¬ ilege of free honor studies. The club concerns itself with supporting a foster child in a foreign country, formerly a Greek child and now a Vietnamese boy, tutoring other students, as well as small tasks requested by the administration where capable, trustworthy help is needed. RADIO CLUB It is not known when interest in “Ham Radio” reached the stage that a formal club was organized. Interest in ham radio as a hobby was encouraged by Mr. Bedros Kamitian, former Vice Principal. The high school was issued a formal amateur Radio License somewhere in the late fifties. This Club was located in the loft of the old high school building and had equipment to operate. The Amateur Radio Club in¬ corporated a set of by-laws and was li¬ censed by the F.C.C. ot operate a Ham Radio Station in the late fifties. Club activity apparently ceased when the initial F.C.C. license expired. From 1959 to 1964 there is no evidence of an Amateur Radio Society at the school. In January, 1965 the school was again authorized by the F.C.C. to operate a club station, WA1DUL. Mr. Lydon is the advisor of the existing club. It has worked nearly all the states of the United States and numerous countries (including Iron Curtain countries) in Europe. Students are encouraged to seek their license through the club and use its equipment. Wellesley High School Choir—1948 ART SERVICE CLUB The Art Service Club has been an institution in our school for at least fifteen years. With an advisor from the art department the members have been responsible for Homecoming dance decorations, prom decorations, fall and winter girls’ and boys’ sports announcement boards, Christmas assembly art work, props for school musicals, tent decorations for the Senior breakfast, Halloween decorations for the Sewton-Wellesley Hos¬ pital’s Children’s Ward, posters for the gym show and many other activities. This year they built a magnif¬ icent float for the Wellesley Public Schools’ entry in the Veteran’s Day Parade. AFRO-AMERICAN SOCIETY In the fall of 1968 some of the Metco students started the Afro-American Society and were soon joined by Wellesley students. The organization was started with the intention of forming a basic under¬ standing between black and white students. This first year they have been searching for the meaning that an Afro-American Society might have in Wellesley. Their activities have been many and varied. Through discussions, guest speakers, debates, films, and projects they are hoping to increase black-white understanding. The members of the club, president Greg Walker, and advisor Mr. Hall also hcpe to see a Black History course taught here, which would trace the black man’s start in Africa, go through slavery and up to modern times. FUTURE TEACHERS OF AMERICA The Wellesley Chapter of F.T.A. was started in 1956. The purpose of the orga¬ nization is to give students interested in teaching a chance to observe an elemen¬ tary school class, which they have been doing at the Kingsbury School, and also to take part in classroom activities.

OPENING EXERCISES For the past several years, Opening Exercises has been simply a ritual that precedes the ever present morning announcements. But this year, under the supervision of Mrs. Wofford, Opening Exercises has played music that is more meaningful to teachers, and students. Some times the re¬ action concerning the music and reading wasn’t the most complimentary; but the object of the whole program is for students and teachers to listen, evaluate, and comment on what they hear. This they did; thus, it was a successful year. Since the object of the whole program, is to stimulate students and teachers into thinking, the reactions, both favorable and otherwise, proved that this year’s program was successful. The weekly readers are volunteers from the student body, while the techni¬ cians are chosen. This year’s technicians were Richard Trageser and Fred Ury. The A.F.S. Club is a local chapter of the international student exchange program. This program was founded at the end of World War I to deal with the pressing need of world brotherhood and understanding. A.F.S. is an organization which allows students of all nations to live for a year or summer in a foreign land. This past year, Wellesley hosted two A.F.S. exchanges, one from Paraguay, the other from Belgium. The High School A.F.S. Club is the basis for beginning friendships with these students, in the process learning a great deal through the contact. In addition, another function of the club is to make known the possi¬ bilities for Wellesley Senior High students through A.F.S. Each year it is possible for two Wellesley students to also participate and spent time with a host family overseas. This year, Gail Gentes and Carol Welsh were the two Juniors chosen for the program. To achieve these goals, plus the inevitable money-making, there are sev¬ eral methods. Traditionally A.F.S. sells its Christmas cards, tags for “Tag Day”, and sponsors “International Dinners”. In addition to these were “Pen¬ ny Day” where everyone donates extra change to the club, hayrides, a float in the Nov. 11th, Veteran’s Day Parade, and possibly a slave auction.

BOWLING CLUB THE BRADFORD Despite the difficulty and igno¬ miny of having to call the Ten-Pin Lanes of Natick “home”, the Bowl¬ ing Club not only survived, but thrived this past year. Taking ad¬ vantage of the reduced rates for Wellesley professionals, the 18- member delegation managed to sharpen up their game while hav¬ ing fun. Perhaps the major accom¬ plishment of the edition of the club was the beginning of scheduled competition with other schools in the area and the provi¬ sion of awards for the best team and highest-scoring individual. The Bradford started its twenty-fifth year of publication auspiciously by winning the distin¬ guished Award of Highest Achievement during the New England Scholastic Press Association journalism conference at Boston University on October 25 and 26. Under a new advisor, Mr. Jon Morin, whose enthusiastic support contin¬ ually lent spirit and ambition to the staff, The Bradford strove to provide the school community with a more interesting, more entertaining, more relevant newspaper than ever before. The edi¬ torial board, entirely responsible for the publi¬ cation, consisted of: Editor-in-Chief Robin Bar- ell, Managing Editor Richard Trageser, Fea¬ tures Editor Tom Lucci, News Editor Kathie Stone, Lay-Out Editor Chris Young, Sports Edi¬ tors Dave Barnes and Ev Jealous, Photography Editor Fred Schaller, Business Manager Tom Cogbill, Typing Editor Carol Morton, and Ad¬ vertising Manager Karen Bedford. Although there were problems in securing enough funds to finance new Bradford ventures and projects, the staff worked incessantly on news stories, special feature articles, and opinionated writings, and attended many last-minute, late-night meet¬ ings in order to put the newspaper together and deal with the technicalities of lay-out and headlines. Throughout its twenty-fifth anniver¬ sary year, The Bradford attempted to maintain its high journalistic quality, and yet sought to possess a still higher virtue—that of being a news medium more suited to the changing needs of the slowly evolving high school community.

CHESS CLUB The Chess Club of this year was a col¬ lection of 17 individuals whose only like characteristic was an interest in chess. No weekly meetings were scheduled, but soon it became obvious who were the best play¬ ers. Five of these were chosen to become the Chess Team , which played the teams of 8 other schools twice during the year.

FOLK CLUB The Folk Club was begun in the fall of 1968 by a group of students who were inter¬ ested in folk music. It was designed to give all members an opportunity to learn about American folk music while they performed and listened. The Club invited students to join its members during informal perform¬ ances. Opening the meetings to the student body provided an audience for the perform¬ ing artists in the club. The listeners were de¬ lighted and, because of their response, the Folk Club hopes to expand its membership and performances in the years to come. 220 FOLK CLUB First row , left to right; Lori Lucci, Charlie Close.

DRAMA CLUB This year’s Drama Club was distinguished in having more meetings and a larger membership than any Drama Club of the past. In addition to a viewing of “Romeo and Juliet” and professional make-up demonstrations, fall ac¬ tivities included a presentation of Shirley Jackson’s “The Lottery”. It was presented, under the direction of Boston College Student-Teacher Dorothy McClellan after school and during B-period. The primary winter activity was the viewing of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” at Har¬ vard’s Loeb Drama Center. Later in the year make-up workshops were held, “The Lion in Winter” and “The Great White Hope” were visited, the latter in New York, and “The Madwoman of Chaillot” was presented. All of these activities were planned by Vincent Liff, President; Gordon Forbes, Vice-president; Debbie Edelman, Treas¬ urer; Linda Barnes, Secretary; and Class Representatives, Dave Perry, Chris Burguess, and Thom Holaday. Able ad¬ vice was provided by the sponsor, Mr. Fitzsimmons. JAZZ CLUB Awareness—that was the key word for this year’s Jazz Club. To build an awareness of America’s only major original art form one must listen. Listening sessions were held every other week at the school, and in addition, regular attendance at local jazz spots where some of the big names in jazz played was also sponsored. Supplementary to these two big activities were the arrangement of in-person appearances at the school, score analysis, and the concerts and jams of the two groups formed by club members for the benefit of the rest of the school.

FUTURE TEACHERS OF AMERICA The Future Teachers of America provides a unique op¬ portunity for its members to be on the other side of a desk in the classroom. For one study period per week, the mem¬ bers are able to participate in a valuable teaching experience at the Kingsbury School. Also available is the opportunity, during the course of the school year, to converse with and listen to guest speakers who have had teaching experience. The Future Teachers of America is one of the few organiza¬ tions in the school that does not require the involverncx of students for long periods of time after the school day is over. Therefore, students who are employed after school may share in this valuable experience. 222 STYLUS STAFF Left to right; Cheryl Booker, Janet Kent, Carol Welsh, Jane Sanford, Janet Mug- ford, Kristin Neva, Joanne Ford. STYLUS After surviving six growing years, the Stylus is in danger of becoming a Wellesley High School institu¬ tion. A literary magazine devoted to the creative writ¬ ing of students, the Stylus , on occasion, publishes two issues a year. With the assistance of Dave Perry as financial advisor, the Stylus maintained artistic in¬ tegrity by relying exclusively on sponsorship support. Editors Kristin Neva and Carol Welsh were kept busy evaluating and selecting material, while their Advisor, Mr. Kabatznick, continued to flood the staff with the creative efforts of his classes. The distinguishing feature of this year’s Stylus was its new larger size.

HISTORY FORUM Under the leadership of President Richard Bertelsen, Vice President Mary Beth Trageser, Secretary Peter Bieger, Treasurer Chris Bennett, and Publicity Manager Tom Lucci, the History Forum was greatly involved with school and National elections this year, particularly when the club held a mock election and published the results in the Bradjoid. For the first time the History Forum was involved with the Junior World Affairs Council of Boston. In cooperation with this organiza¬ tion, the forum members attended many J.W.A.C. pro¬ grams. In the spring the club ran the Student Council elections. With Mr. Burgess as faculty advisor, this club plans to continue to bring to the school speakers and programs of great interest to History Forum mem¬ bers as well as students. 225 JUNIOR CLASSICAL LEAGUE The members of the Junior Classical League have thoroughly enjoyed themselves this year while “handing on the torch of classical civilization in the modern world”. At the first monthly meeting, new members were led blindfolded through the traditional horror show featuring monsters of mythology. The Saturnalia banquet by candlelight was a fine Christmas feast in Roman style. This year, at the grand State Convention at Needham, Wellesley was able to race a sturdy chariot constructed under the auspices of the President Jay Robbins. Under the guidance of Mrs. Keenan and Mrs. White, the Junior Classical League has been, as some¬ one artistically commented, “the one place you can really relax and ham it up”.

SCIENCE CLUB Aimed at fostering and encouraging interest in science and related fields, the Science Club has had an especial¬ ly fruitful 1968-1969 year. Under the able and enthusi¬ astic leadership of David Stanwood, who was assisted by his Vice-President, Andrew Chester and Nancy Rog¬ ers (who occupied the dual role of Secretary and Treas¬ urer) the club has flourished in its many activities. Highpoints of the year included field trips to the Boston Globe , the General Motors’ Plant, and a visit to the Quincy Shipyards. In the yards, the club was con¬ ducted on a complete tour and shown the huge warships that are produced there, all the while finding out just how these ships are built. Another interesting event was the trip to the Peter Bent Brigham Hospital, where the club watched transfixed, learning about skin graft¬ ing, as plastic surgeons operated on a fireman who was severely burned in the line of duty. In addition to taking frequent field trips this year, the Science Club was amused and instructed by Mr. Spang’s excellent slides on Africa. Forming a contrast to conditions on the dark continent, the club benefited greatly by inviting Mr. Kennedy, the Commissioner of Public Works, to speak about the different facete of his department. The elected officials for next year—President Tom Grainger, Vice President Rosie Stanley, Secretary Chris Burgess, and Treasurer John Dube—hope to perpetuate the goals of the Science Club as successfully as the 1968-1969 officials. Our aims—to provide a means of going beyond the restrictions of time and subject mat¬ ter imposed by the usual course in science—are carried out in a way designed to provide good times for all members.

KEY CLUB Traditionally an exclusive organization, The Key Club is sponsored by the Kiwanis as a service club. Comprised of 42 exclusive boys, The Key Club performs various serv¬ ices for the school and community. Led by The Board, the club is divided into four committees so as to fulfill its duties. Perhaps most beneficial for all is the retarded children’s party at the Perrin School. Every other week, in co-opera¬ tion with the Jr. Red Cross , members of the Key Club or¬ ganize and attend the parties. Revenue comes from the concession stand at football games, Halloween candy, and the Key Club Dance. In May the Kiwanis Club awards a sports trophy to the outstanding Senior athlete. Weekly meetings are held in the Keynoter Room at Howard Johnson’s under the spirited guidance of Mr. Landry.

Wellesley Senior High ' s branch of the National Con¬ ference of Christian and Jews is an organization which helps one to care about his fellow man. Last year, the group carried on several worthwhile discussions and got to know each other. A lso, through a bake sale, the club was able to send three students on full scholarship to Camp Telanoar in New Hampshire, run by the main office in Boston. This year, one of the main goals of the members has been to develop a relationship of brother¬ hood among themselves and other people. Today, there is a great need for brotherhood among people of dif¬ ferent races, religions, and creeds, for learning to accept each other as equals, and for the respect of each other’s differences. One of the activities was producing a Brotherhood Program for the Emmanuel Temple group in Marble¬ head. The program, consisting of poems, skits, and a tape, was informal but effective. The members of the two groups exchanged views, past experiences, dances and happenings. The young people enjoyed themselves because they weren’t thinking of whether an individ¬ ual was black, white, Christian or Jew. A highlight of the year was when the N.C.C.J. visited the Newton Wellesley Hospital to try to cheer up the little kids in the Children’s Ward on Halloween. This was a great experience not only for the children in the Hospital but also for the N.C.C.J. members. For the future, there can be more programs, discus¬ sions and visits to organizations, but this group can only be a success if the students at W.H.S. come, talk, and participate actively. This club can only be as active or inactive as its members are willing to make it. There are plenty of opportunities to work towards improving human relations, so let’s make brotherhood not only a word but a reality! 230 STUDENT COUNCIL Floor; Mack Lee.

STUDENT COUNCIL This year, the Student Council unquestionably began to manifest its sparkling potential. Some say it was due to a great president; some say the council finally reached the silent majority; while still others insist council suc¬ cess stemmed from the fact that the body started to cater to the real needs of the student body and ceased try¬ ing to “buy out” the kids with social hob-gob. What¬ ever the case may be, it is evident that the student council got things done behind their dynamic, forceful president, John Nadas. At the beginning, with the research and report of a committee studying curriculum, everyone was con¬ vinced it was going to be a different year. The brilliant year was marked with the attainment of a so called “impossible objective”, a $35,Q00 tartan track, led once again by the perservering Nadas speaking at town meet¬ ing. Vice President Mel Reeves chipped in with the or¬ ganization of a stimulating centennial week, featuring the rock group “Orpheus”, the Student-Faculty Dinner Dance and the Musical play, “Carousel.” Reeves also ran a successful Variety Show, while everyone, as they did so many times this year, contributed towards the fruit¬ ful Student-Faculty discussion groups. And, with the year drawing to a close, the Council put the final feather in their cap with the student-faculty conducted 2 day seminar program. One can hardly deny that the founda¬ tions have been built for the councils of ensuing years; whether future councils capitalize on this year’s tri¬ umphs, only the students can determine. 231 Left to Right , First Row Officers: Chris Bennett, Treas.; Roger, King, Vice Pres.; Linda Saleski, Sec.; David Hubbell, President.

NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY Members of the Wellesley Chapter of the National Honor Society rank in the upper S% of the Senior Class and the upper 5 % of the Junior Class. They are selected on the basis of character, leadership, and service, as well as scholarship. Membership entitles the honorable student to unsupervised study and a few other privileges. Members also offer their services as tutors during study halls and after school. This year the society assumed the support of Nguyen Van Tho, a Vietnamese boy from Saigon. A monthly cash grant, clothing, medicine, and a Christmas gift are sent through the Foster Parent ' s Plan. With this help he is able to receive, fittingly, a primary education. 232 Officers for 1968-1969 are Dave Hubbell, President; Roger King, Vice-president; Chris Bennett, Treasurer; and Linda Saleski, Secretary. The Advisor is Miss Milot. The spirited officers, with the co-operation of most members, have made this year ' s National Honor Society much more actively innovative and memorable than the more traditional, sedate versions of the society of past years. RED CROSS Seated, left to right; M. J. Kelly, Lisa Low, Kathy Dingman, Pennie Bornstein, Bonnie Cotton, Nancy Luccock. Standing; Lynn Donahue, Kathy Kelly, Carroll Klett, Mrs. Anderson. JUNIOR RED CROSS The purpose of the Junior Red Cross is to help people. The club is divided into four projects and the girls choose the project they are most interested in and work on it every week. The projects are Cushing Hospital, Medfield Hospital, Newton-Wellesley Hospital, and the retarded children’s parties. Cushing Hospital is a Sunday morning project in which the girls wheel the patients of the hospital down to the church. Sunday afternoons a group of girls go to Medfield State Hospital to entertain the women. They not only take them for walks but also teach them how to cook and give them grooming lessons. Another group of girls volunteer to be Candy Stripers at the Newton-Wellesley Hospital. Each girl has an assigned day on which she helps the nurses take care of the patients. Twice a month on Saturday mornings the Junior Red Cross , along with the Key Club , sponsor parties for the retarded children of Wellesley. Games are played and lunch is served. 233 SKI CLUB First Row, left to right; Kathy Hajko, Jennifer Drake, Leslie Heap, Linda Gulezynski, Mack Lee, Carroll Klett, Dave McNeish, Lisa Carlson.

SKI CLUB The Ski Club officers for the school year of ’68-’68 were President Carroll Klett; Vice-President Linda Gulezyn¬ ski; Secretary M. J. Kelly; and Treasurer Mack Lee. Mr. Tom Butterfield was this year ' s faculty advisor. Un¬ fortunately the club was unable to go on any trips even though many were planned. This was due to the ad¬ verse weather and varied ski conditions. The club hopes to have its annual dance next Fall to raise money to cover some of the expenses. With the hope of good ski conditions, the Ski Club plans to go on many trips in the ’69-’70 ski season. 234 v L RADIO CLUB RADIO CLUB As stated in its By-Laws, the purpose of the Ham Radio Club is to “facilitate the exchange of informa¬ tion . . . , to promote radio knowledge ...� and to advance the . . . welfare of amateur radio in the gen¬ eral community” This radio club seeks to attract not only those who have acquired some knowledge of Ham Radio through outside activities, but also those whose knowledge of Ham Radio is quite limited. The club does not want to give students the impression that Ham Radio is ac¬ cessible only to those with some kind of technical training or specialized background in electronics. If this were the case, the club would serve a very limited function. It is the desire of the sponsor of this club to make students aware of the interesting and intriguing aspects of this hobby and to provide students with access to materials for the development of a unique interest that will have far-reaching implications for their future activities.

The Vellesleijan also represents the work of many townspeople who helped to compile the first high school history ever published. To these people we express our gratitude and hope that all who will look at this year¬ book will enjoy the many aspects that it covers. 237 THE VARIETY SHOW - 1969 239 nVF m m T i riHj ' ' si i .

In a less permanent way, our class began a new era by its conduct throughout the 1968-1969 year. The new era, one of a new feeling in the high school, began in our senior year, and hopefully, will continue for many years to come. Our senior year was marked by two vivid changes in attitude in the high school; one was the over-all awakening of the student body to that which is beyond the planned high school environment and curriculum, and the second was the breakdown of old status groups and the development of a new sense of freedom of spirit and of tolerance, both of which we have tried to reflect in the underlying theme of the Wellesley an, i.e. awareness. Much of the awakening of the student body, par¬ ticularly the senior class, can be traced to the elections of the fall of 1968. Many of us worked for candidates, experienced a feeling of involvement in political hap¬ penings, and began to really examine issues and prob¬ lems that many national leaders were discussing. Many felt the bitterness of the defeat for a man that we felt was the answer to many of the problems that we were reading about and discussing in school and in private sessions. Many felt the estrangement that came when we could not find a candidate we thought would do the job, a feeling all too prevalent in the national elections. On the whole, our class awoke to the problems and issues outside of the high school life. The awareness continued as many of us began a battle to contribute to the Biafra Relief Drive, a fighc against a reluctant school and town, a frustrating bat¬ tle with intangible rewards we all felt when we reached ouf fluctuating goal: all that we could do to help the children of Biafra. We worked long hours, constantly finding opportunities to examine our lives and our society. We arrived at answers that many of us would utilize for a long time; most of the answers being directed at ourselves and our methods of living and working in our environment. Many of the answers began to reflect themselves in a new sense of tolerance that began to sweep the school. The once infamous Paine Street Crowd ex¬ panded to include all types of people, and all political and social philosophies. The tolerance began to per¬ meate the entire school and the petty rivalries and petty enforcer actions disappeared, hopefully forever. Our year was marked by a lack of the “hippie” incidents of the previous year, as we discovered how to look beyond the surface appearance to find the real person. We learned how to be aware of the intrinsic good in everyone; how to bring it out of those in whom it seemed submerged. We saw that the good and bad are not limited to one type of person to whom you can attach a label, but rather was inherent in all of us. Awareness carried us beyond the normal curriculum as we fought our way to seminar days, a chance to go beyond the normal frame of reference of our school- work. With seminar days, we culminated the end of the first stage of our awakening, and began the second stage that carried us through the end of the school year, a time when everyone was gloriously free of the hang-ups that had hampered them throughout the year. One could almost sense this feeling by simply walking down a corridor of the school. It was this sense of feeling and mood that we have tried to make our basic theme, since the type of awareness that has shown itself this year is one of the vital links in growing into a real person, as it greatly aids in the development of the other qualities that have so distinguished this year. The awareness of that which is aro und you, in nature, politics, personalities, events and ideas, is, as Erich Fromm notes, “one of the fundamental traits that must be developed, for upon it is built , person .
