Like the eye of a storm, Wellesley is outwardly untouched by the swirling myr¬ iad of events around it. However, Wellesley, too, experienced the changes of the mid-seventies — accreditation, reor¬ ganization, and busing.

Turmoil Was Evident on the National and International Scenes. Economic turmoil. Rampant terrorism. Energy and food shortages. The nations of the world were besieged by an onslaught of increasingly serious dilemmas. The Western countries were stunned by the Arab sheiks’ discovery of oil as a tool for political power. Skyrocketing cur¬ rencies disrupted the economies of Western Europe, the United States, and Japan and forced reevaluations of foreign and domestic policies. Terrorist violence claimed lives in Britain, Ireland, Israel and other areas; Cyprus was torn by civil war and subsequent Turkish interven¬ tion. Finally, the third world began to assert its majority control in the United Nations which helped lead to vigorous attempts to create a world-wide effort to relieve the endemic famine of poorer countries. The United States also experienced momentous domestic changes. As a result of increasing public outrage over the Watergate affair, the House Judiciary Committee’s lopsided vote for impeachment, and the forced release of incriminating tapes, Mr. Nixon became the first Presi¬ dent to resign from office. Inheriting the domestic woes of the Nixon administration, President Gerald Ford showed, at first, surprising vigor in his decisions to grant conditional amnesty and to nominate the con¬ troversial figure of Nelson Rockefeller as Vice-President.

However, even with his Whip Inflation Now (WIN) campaign. President Ford was unable to achieve a significant improvement of the nation ' s economy before the November elections, and, par¬ tially for this reason, the results heavily favored lib¬ eral, Democratic candidates. Faced with pressing foreign and domestic dilemmas, the rejuvenated Congress was to receive the test of crisis time. Although sheltered by our secure suburban com¬ munity from the turmoil of the world around us, we, too, felt its daily effect. Housewives were con¬ fronted by repeated increases in the price of sugar or meat or bread at the supermarket, and student ■ expe¬ rienced the spiraling costs of dating and other social activities. A new, post-Watergate morality inspired public scrutiny of political practices. Rven in Wellesley, a Republican stronghold, conservatism lost ground to the new liberal trend, as shown by the surprising strength of the Democratic guberna¬ torial candidate, Michael Dukakis among Wellesley voters. Wellesley’s traditions remain, but the events of 1974 have profoundly influenced our future. The sacred cow of India was becoming steadily more revered in America. 3 Wellesley Senior High School Faced Loss of Accreditation After repeated failures since 1968 of the Wellesley School Committee to produce a viable plan for additional high school facili¬ ties, the New England Association of Schools and Colleges, Inc. voted to rescind Wellesley High School’s accreditation, after December 1975, unless the town acted affirmatively to redress the inadequacies of the High School plant. The unexpected action of the accredit¬ ing agency was sparked by a July 1974 refer¬ endum in which the townspeople rejected the latest proposal for an addition by a four to one margin. Spiraling construction costs caused many residents to view the recommen¬ dation as too expensive and, for the first time in over thirty years, the public reversed an approved town meeting article. Ironically, the town spent $50,000 on preliminary plans and $395,000 on final plans for the renovation proposal. Industrial arts lacked adequate facilities. Children surveyed wreckage of Kingsbury fire. 4 ■pp |if Students were forced to make do with what they had Loss of accreditation would hinder a stu¬ dent’s opportunitity to attend any privately- owned university and might prevent his acceptance to any state college. Although Wellesley High has a high-quality academic program and faculty, deficiencies in voca¬ tional, musical, and artistic facilities and in the school library do exist. The last major addition to the pre-World War II main build¬ ing was in 1962. The staunch opposition to the proposed addition was due in part to a misunderstand¬ ing of what the loss of accreditation meant. Accreditation is granted to any high school which meets the (NEASC) association’s standards of curriculum, physical plant, and staff and recognizes the validity of a high school diploma. In spite of its academic repu¬ tation, Wellesley was faced with the possibil¬ ity of losing its accreditation because of its outdated and overcrowded building. The high school building needs could possibly be met with the use of Kingsbury school. Visiting Accreditation Committee Cited Lack of Facilities in Non-Academic Areas Reaction to the association’s decision ranged from outrage to apathy. Many adult residents who didn’t have school age children were more concerned about higher property taxes to finance an addition than about the actual plight of the school. Others were shocked by the realization that one of the most affluent communities in the state pos¬ sessed an inadequate high school. Most peo¬ ple admitted that something had to be done to forestall the possible probation of the Wellesley High School, but were undecided on an effective course of action. The accreditation dispute was linked with the more fundamental controversy over the reorganization of the town’s elementary school system. The projected decline in popu¬ lation led many to speculate on the possible consolidation of primary schools and use of Kingsbury school as an additional part of the high school. Mr. Rokicki worked diligently for 3 Vi years on the two building projects. School Committee chairman Stephen Porter confronted the angered populace. Accreditation board explained their role to the townspeople as they investigated the senior high school facilities during the month of November. 6 A member of the Faculty Senate, Mr. Mazukina, discussed the situation avidly with Rob¬ ert O’Donnell from NEASC. Members of the accreditation committee responded to student questions. Although, incurring bitter, last-minute resistance from some townspeople, the reor¬ ganization proposal of Superintendent Rich¬ ard Goodman was approved unanimously by the School Committee. The action opened the possibility of combining both re-organization and modest renovation plans to meet the High School’s needs. Although isolated from the turbulent mainstream of world affairs, Wellesley pos¬ sessed only a surface calm. The accreditation dispute forced the townspeople to confront the inequities of past years. Wellesley could not escape the changes of the 1970 ' s. Lack of space in library limited student study opportunities. 7 A Trend Appeared Nationally in Education: Back to Basics in the Classroom A. standardized aptitude test scores declined once again in 19 4-1975 and compe- tition for college entry and employment increased due to recession and inflation, the trend in education was toward basic studies. In Wellesley it was reflected in increased enrollment for fundamental reading and basic Knglish skills courses. The blame for the recent nationwide drop in PSAT and SAT scores and for the alarming number of fresh¬ man college students unable to communicate their thoughts in writing was placed on prog¬ ressive high ■ichools, where secondary educa¬ tors stressed relevant subjects and compro¬ mised basics like Knglish composition, math, and reading comprehension. Some educators, however, questioned the ability of standard¬ ized tests to measure the education imparted by these modernized schools. Wendy Brown listened attentively in math. Richard Stevens concentrated on his project in industrial arts. Louise Hurwitz found a quiet corner in the peri¬ odical room of the library. Rhonda Farina studiously prepared her biology project. 8 Akua Gore, Chris Stokes, and Gretchen Jones discuss writing techniques in Mrs. Barrett’s Let’s Write course. Amanda McCoy perused her history text. The crew studied in the crowded library. Across the country, growing numbers of parents also turned away from innovations such as the Open Classroom approach, in which students are given a maximum of indi¬ vidual freedom and a minimum of teacher supervision. Tests, grades and discipline were directed towards basics, standards of behavior, and generally traditional education. The nationwide sentiment was that several of the reforms spurred by experimentation in educa¬ tion are constructive, such as individualized teaching, but in the process, there should be a balance between innovation and tradition. Maureen Courville was doing what Stephen Grogarty should have been doing Sue Thompson seemed to enjoy her research. 9 The Busing Crisis Erupted in Boston Anti-busing protestors converged on the Boston Sheraton. It (busing) was the most unpleasant, disappointing, toughest period of my political life, however short that is. There are few heroes. It left scars on me. Mayor Kevin White. Sparked by the federal court order of a Wellesley resident, Judge Aurthur Garrity, the struggle of black people to achieve inte¬ grated education exploded into violence, dur¬ ing the fall of 1974, in the Boston school sys¬ tem. On opening day, buses transporting black students were stoned by belligerent crowds of white parents in South Boston. Incident after incident fanned the flames of racial hatred. Altercations between black and white students erupted in the newly inte¬ grated institutions. Schools were boycotted. Crowds clashed with police. The national guard was placed on alert. Organized protest groups and political opportunists aggravated the discontent and division of the communi¬ ties. Coverage in the national news media reached epidemic proportions; from the front page NEW YORK TIMES to the lead story on the NBC ' nightly news, the unleashed emotions of South Boston parents and stu¬ dents were broadcast. Above all, the principal victims of the turmoil, the students, were neglected. In contrast, Wellesley existed in relative calm. The Mctco and ABC ' programs success¬ fully enabled underprivileged minority stu¬ dents to receive a suburban school education. Traditional activities and rigorous academic standards were maintained. However, internal conflict over the accreditation dispute dis¬ rupted the community’s quiescence. The future for Wellesley, as for Boston, was shrouded in ominous ambiguity. 10 National guardsmen prepared to embark. Children disembarked under the watchful eye of Boston police. Sentinels stood in silent readiness for possible violence. Wellesley Resident, Judge Aurthur Garrity, set in motion the wheels of change. 11 Marching band lent spirit.

I would like to take a few minutes to talk about an issue of great importance to the entire faculty and student body . ” The 1974-1975 school year kept the administrators busily involved in many controversial issues. Accreditation, the possibility of reorganizing a department for relocation into the Kingsbury School, and raising the graduation requirements were just a few of the topics debated throughout the year. Along with recent developments, the administrators dealt with the normal problems and carried out traditional functions throughout the school year. Mr. Carbone juggled and scheduled courses for almost 1500 people, while Mr. Vasaturo arranged field trips, revised the Program of Studies, and proposed new offerings that would enhance the curricu¬ lum. Despite his busy routine, Mr. Rokicki spent his free time with his family skiing, travelling, and pursuing his interest in aviation. The three administrators made an effort to befriend and gain the respect of stu¬ dents throughout the three years; they have attended rallies, dances, and various functions. In doing so, they have become familiar faces to all.

Like the senior humanities program, jun¬ iors received credit for both the American His¬ tory and eleventh grade English requirements. The range of courses were varied to meet the interests of each student; the very demanding Phase I as ked considerably more work from a student than did a Phase IV. The staff was inno¬ vative, individualistic, and youthful. No two teachers approached the same elective with quite the same teaching meth¬ ods, and, in these respects, the strengths of the department were obvious. Indeed, the English courses helped students better understand who and what they are For the third consecutive year, juniors and sen¬ iors had the opportunity to choose their English courses from popular and diverse offerings. Mrs. Rhonda Bretholtz returned after a two year leave of absenc- 1 and was the only addition to the department’s faculty. New course selections have expanded the curriculum to an even greater extent. This year, students were able to study offerings entitled The Outdoor Experience,” The Nature of Man,” All in the Family,” and The Adolescent in Literature” with more than sixty others.

America,” a course which granted credit for both American history and English, the tradi¬ tional survey course that covers 1492 to the present, and semester electives ranging from U.S. Foreign Policy ’ The Colonial Experi¬ ence,” to The Wild, Wild West” were offered and proved quite popular and success¬ ful. The sophomore and senior electives con¬ tinued to explore new approaches to social, economic, and political changes. Whether the course dealt with Modern European history, Asian civilization, political science, or cultural anthropology, the department sought to offer flexible, concentrated programs that present historical and current perspectives.

For many students, the periods spent in math on the second floor of the wing brought back vivid memories. Whether they listened, learned and passed, or they yawned, daydreamed, and failed, the math courses they selected prepared them well for further stud¬ ies. The majority of courses offered were col¬ lege-oriented (Geometry, Algebra II, Trigo¬ nometry, and Calculus) and a new course. Algebra 12, offered a full year of elementary algebra to provide a good, basic foundation for further preparatory study. For the second year, two intriguing elec¬ tives enhanced the curriculum. Probability and Statistics, with Matrix Algebra, allowed students to gain a greater understanding of these specific areas of mathematics. Meeting twice a week for an entire year, either course could be taken alone or concurrently with another math major. Students were shown the structure, logic, and creativity of the subject, and the math teachers aimed to point out relevance and application to other matters whenever possi¬ ble. The strength of the department was in ' ' the professionalism, dedication, and mathe¬ matical background of a staff which enhanced the program’s goals.” Only two out of fourteen of this well-qualified staff were women, one of whom, Mrs. Allen, was on a pregnancy leave during the second semester. ALICE MILOT GEHRARD WITCHURA 23 13 Qualified Teachers and 12 Courses: Science Department FRANCIS MEAR EDWARD HEREIN LAURA WICK Dissecting frogs, balancing equa¬ tions, growing bacteria, and measuring velocity were all a part of the intensive courses offered by the Science Depart¬ ment. Science is the study of the expla¬ nation of life, and in this respect, the subject matter is broad and encompas¬ ses many areas. As well as the tradi¬ tional lab sciences (biology, chemistry, physics) a semester course, psychology, dealt with human behavior, Freudian concepts, moral and ethical reasoning, and counselling skills. A committed staff with excellent background in var¬ ious aspects of science, including new¬ comers Laura Wick and Peter Rossetti, endeavored to give students an under¬ standing of the basic concepts of sci¬ ence and an awareness of its impact on their everyday lives 25 COSIMO UBALDINO JULIETTE BUNDGUS LYNN MOORE Parlez-vous francais 5 ” Habla Vd. espa- nol? Sprechen Sie deutsch ” Although some students still pursue a foreign language in order to fulfill college requirements, many more developed an interest in Spanish, Latin, French, or German to become as proficient as possible in reading, writing, and speaking. Oral as well as written expression was stressed with appealing approaches — audio visual materials, field trips, class discussions of national and international crises and affairs in the chosen language. All provided a new means for students to have greater insight into European cultures. Periods were spent in the langauge lab repeating words and in class translating, studying, and communicating in order to expand students’ horizons. The fac¬ ulty, including new members Elaine Adler and Paul Esposito, were genuinely interested in making the study of a foreign language an enjoyable experience, and turning the courses from old-fashioned sentence drills into a cul¬ tural exchange, fostering international under¬ standing. 26 PETER HAGGERTY ELAINE ADLER r r Foreign Language Department Fostered International Understanding RAYMOND CAEFER Department Head DOROTHY MULRY MIRIAM GRODBERG SUSAN BERMAN MICHAEL CAVE PAUL ESPOSITO ROSEMARY DANN 27 This fall, members of both sexes met on the field to battle for the ball and argue over whether one or both sides of the stick could be used. Co-ed field hockey, along with girls’ fencing, flag football, and boys’ lacrosse expanded the offerings of the Physical Educa¬ tion Department. Strick rules on cuts and absence demanded that excused students sat in the main office during the missed periods; it was almost better to go to gym’ In an attempt to make the mandatory phys¬ ical education requirement more enjoyable. the department sought to provide opportuni¬ ties for both the uncoordinated person and the all-around athlete. Students chose from a variety of different units: yoga, folk dancing, archery, ski conditioning, tennis, and track, as well as the traditional soccer, basketball, vol¬ leyball, and softball. These electives, along with others were designed to help students develop skills and encourage participation in the individual and team sports that interested them.

Vv iil Hi V.u Wu Wu HhoIV As each year passed quickly by, students saw the smiling faces of their guidance coun¬ selors more and more frequently. Visits increased from a scattered few during sopho¬ more year to get acquainted, to once a month to complain of the unfairness of junior year, and finally, as seniors, students all but lived down in their offices when college applica¬ tions and SAT forms were due. Whether stu¬ dents complained about unfair grades or demanded to be withdrawn from French, the counselors were always ready to listen when they were available. Six counselors were responsible for a student body of 1,482. As well as helping students plan their high school and post-graduate years, they had a genuine concern in assisting in any way possi¬ ble. The Department brought various college representatives in the fall and helped students make the best choices for the future; most of all, these interested faculty members tried to make life a little easier throughout the three years at Wellesley High. BONNIE BROWN JOAN CAEFER ARCHER HARMAN Department Head EDWARD TOUHEY ALFRED MAZUKINA 31 Art and Music Departments Inspired Creativity JACK RUTLEDGE JOAN LANZA WILLARD GOW Department Head Upon entering the art rooms, one was forced often to duck and crawl to move around under the forest of drying prints. Because of the lack of space and inade¬ quate facilities, the enrollment in art courses was limited and only those with genuine interest were accommodated. The drawbacks were obvious: students who should have been exposed to the meaning and importance of visual art in relation tt man’s culture were not. A new course, Studio Art, met four times a week and combined craft work with composition and painting. The Art and Theatre class invited instructors in movement and dance and interacted in the Wellesley Players for set and costume design. Whether inter¬ ested in three dimensional sculptures, jew¬ elry, photography, charcoal drawings or oil painting, students had the chance to express their talents and creativity in any media, a change from the pressure of required college-oriented courses. MIRIAM STODDARD ROBERT DAVIS For the first three months of the 1974- 1975 school year the music department focused combined efforts of choral and orchestral members into a near-profes¬ sional production of OKLAHOMA. At the same time, the marching band enter¬ tained at and added spirit to football games and rallies. The orchestra, stage band, glee club, Lyrics, and A Cappella choir were well underway rehearsing for seasonal concerts and performances at var¬ ious school and community functions. Courses in music theory, voice training, and A Survey of Music Literature” were offered a well as brass, woodwind, and percussion ensembles, and a Band ' Work¬ shop. In the early spring, music students participated in an exchange concert with Manhassett High School, Long Island. The department provided an opportunity for any student to increase and broaden appreciation of music, and to express his or her talent in the various performing groups. DONALD SULLIVAN il ' f ff F HI M ii w GEORGE McGOFF 33 The Industrial Arts Department, located in the base¬ ment corridor of the school, concentrated in three major areas: Technical Drawing and Graphics, Woodworking and Machine Shop. Designed not only to provide students with preparation for further training and work, the courses introduced some skills and knowledge that are necessary in everyday life. Individuals learned to appreciate good design and good workmanship, and experience satisfaction in a job well done. The staff, with newcomer Mr. Eugene Var- ley, operated well while trying to make the best of the extremely limited space, outdated machines, and facilities that were built in 1938. More emphasis could be placed on printing-graphics, construction, auto-mechanics and elec¬ tronics if adequate facilities were available but, the town turned down an addition that could have included improvements in all these areas. Next year, the department plans to offer a course, Auto-Mechanics and Home Repair,” open to any student who desires more information about buying, maintaining, and repairing automobiles and home equipment. One of the main goals of the industrial arts department was to develop in each student an insight and understand¬ ing of industry and technology and its place in our culture.” Industrial Arts and Home Economic Departments Provided Practical Training As well as the traditional cooking and sew¬ ing skills, the Home Economics Department gave students the chance to understand the construction and economics of clothing, to study the nutritional value of foods and the problems of starvation in the world, and to explore the field of child development. Open to both boys and girls, the various courses helped each student meet individual and fam¬ ily-life needs.

The noise of students typing away to records could be heard in passing through the halls. The Business Department, with the recent addition of Mrs. Patricia Coffey, provided opportunities for students to prepare for careers in business by developing basic skills such as typing, shorthand, accounting, etc. These electives, along with Retail Merchandising, Consumer Economics, Recordkeeping, and a new course in Advanced Accounting helped students become accustomed to the methods and machinery used in modern offices. Although many of the programs were geared for those students who did not plan to continue formal education after high school, they also benefited the college-bound students who would need typing and accounting skills throughout their lives. ROBERT ALDRICH ANN HICKEY Department Head ARTHUR HALL PATRICIA COFFEY 35 Did you find yourself bogged down with books and chapters of English, History, and biology that were sup¬ posed to be read the week before 5 In many of the courses offered at Wellesley High, it was necessary to have a good reading ability in order to keep up with the workload. The Reading Department aided both the slow reader who needed assistance or the student who wished to read more rapidly in preparation for college or a better skill in read¬ ing comprehension for the SAT’s. A new course, English 23A, offered students a half-year with reading specialists in order to boost speedreading and comprehension while earning credit for English at the same time. In essence, one of the strengths of the department lay in the personal attention given to each individual by concerned faculty members; the courses were tailored to fit the needs of those enrolled.

Unlike college institutions, students could not go to study only due to the lack of space. The library offered over 12,000 books, many magazines, newspapers, records, microfilm, and reference materials. Students found answers to many questions, information for many long term papers, and music to listen to while reading SPORTS ILLUSTRATED in the back room. Much attention from the accreditation committee was focused on the size — only 35 seats were available for a student body of almost 1500.

John Taylor and Mark Washington Unlike the violent conflicts over busing in Boston, the Wellesley Metco program has been operating smoothly and successfully. The students involved in Metco started in Kindergarten with integrated schooling and continued through their senior year. Eighty percent of the participants went on to college or some other form of vocational training. Inspired by the achievement of Metco students, three full-time Metco coordinators worked in each of the three major school divisions: elemen¬ tary school, junior high and senior high. All the expenses of the Metco pro¬ gram were paid by the state. The rapport between black and white students was also an encouragement to expand the program; however, perhaps as a result of the busing turmoil in Boston, there were a few isolated alterca¬ tions between Metco and Wellesley sophomore girls. 40 The Wellesley ABC Program has finished its third successful year at the high school. The house is located at 12 Norfolk Ter¬ race, and eight girls participated in the program. Three new soph¬ omores, Robin Peyton from New Orleans, Latawnya Rennick from Columbus, Ohio, and Dianne Collazo from New York City joined the girls from last year, juniors Tona Dickerson and Car- drenia Ellis, and seniors Alta Jiminez, Cassandra Glover, and Denise Gore. We are trying to establish a good relationship among our¬ selves. We do things together, such as playing volleyball, going to other ABC parties or sometimes going bowling, which we enjoy very much. We have study hours from 7:30 to 10:00 Sun¬ day through Thursday. Even though ABC is a learning experience which can be very difficult at times, we all ' stick it out’ because we know it’s all for the betterment of ourselves and the Black community in the near future.” Charo Jiminez ABC: A Better Chance TONA DICKERSON LEFf TO RIGHT: Latawnya Rennick, Cardrenia Ellis, Cassandra Glover, Dianne Collazo, Robyn Payton, Akua Gore. 41 Students Gained Job Experience UnderWork Study Program Kathy Roderick and Lisa Boyd at Olken’s. The Work Study Program, coordinated by Mr. Rocky Edwards, has completed its four year. Under this program, students are able to hold a job and earn money while receiving credit towards graduation at the same time. Students who participate in the program schedule their classes during the morning and leave afternoons for employment. Involved in a variety of differ¬ ent jobs in Wellesley and surrounding communi¬ ties, students are periodically evaluated by their employers on their performance. Work Study provides the opportunity for over forty students to interact with people in the town and gain val¬ uable work experience. Chris O’Neill at Star Market.

Distributive Education was Wellesley High’s cooperative course in retailing, merchandis¬ ing, and related management. All students enrolled in the Distributive Education program worked part-time in the Wellesley area, putting into practice classroom academics and pro¬ jects. Since there were students interested in the wide world of marketing and local mer¬ chants — their downtown teachers — were eager to act as training sponsors, the combina¬ tion proved quite effective.

Doug Banks managed the phone at the Garden Tool House. 43 The Student Supplement Program in its sixth year of operation, continued to be a worthwhile experience for both Wellesley High School students and children in elementary grades. Planned and supervised by seniors Susan Plumer and Karen Litle, juniors Dena Rodis and Linda Perani, and sopho¬ more Heidi Fernsebner, over fifty students partici¬ pated in the program at various elementary schools. For one or two periods a week, students tutored pri¬ mary grade pupils in need of extra help on a one to one basis, which allowed close relationships and rewarding friendships to develop. Student Supple¬ ment was the key to understanding and evaluating elementary education, and the chance to judge whether or not one would enjoy the field in the future.

As midyears came to a close, eleven seniors found themselves ending their conventional education and beginning a new and fascinating semester. Under the direction of Mr. Wayne Hadlock, students met regularly for the first half of the year to plan and arrange experiences that would enable them to explore different values and lifestyles outside the high school classroom. Some of the possibilities included taking a course at a nearby college, work¬ ing at a radio station, and joining an archeological expedition in South America. Each senior designed his or her own program to suit individual needs and interests, and spent ten weeks actually pursuing it. For the remaining period, the students reconvened to participate in group activities and to evaluate their worthwhile, unforgettable experiences.

Independent Study Program Opened Many Doors Although the variety of the curriculum at Wellesley High School is excellent, there are many fields of study that cannot yet be met in the traditional classroom. The Independent Study Program, under the direction of Mr. Geroge Kerivan Jr., gave students the chance to acquire many skills and discover many new and different inter¬ ests on their own time. Credit was granted according to the number of hours spent on a project, but the five credits, for example, so earned oftenr proved to be more valuable to some than the five awarded from a regular academic course. There were a number of opportunities; this freedom of choice allowed students to find an area that really intrigued them, and in which learning was both enjoyable and personally rewarding. Whether the project was situated in Boston or here in the high school, the possibilities included assisting in veterinary sur¬ gery, teaching Spanish at the junior high, counselling on Hotline, studying classical music, working at an old age home, and spending time designing pottery. Whatever one chose, this popular and beneficial program provided the individual with an unforgettable, unique experience and a greater insight into his or her own life.

FAPS (Faculty, Administration, Parents, and Students) is an organized body that introduces new ideas, initiates new programs, and discusses many issues relevant to the high school. It pro¬ vided each representative the opportunity to voice concerns and express opinions on students’ _ , , Sarah Thome has a suggestion. rights and responsibilities, new curriculum, and school policy. The council served as a basis of communication among these four groups, anti gave student ' s the chance to be heard effectively. Although FAPS did not have the power to change any policies or establish any new regulations, the administration evaluated the coun¬ cil’s views and recommendations. This past year, the main topics brought up and debated were the raising of graduation requirements, the effectiveness of the current grade point average system used to determine rank in class, student evaluation of teachers, students’ I voice in tenure decisions, and the possibility of identification cards to lessen confusion and problems at high school activities.

The Parents, Teachers, and Students Association sponsored two evening programs to provide forum for discus¬ sion of mutual concerns. An annual fall open house was conducted whereby parents became students for an evening — attending all of their children’s daily classes. In January, P.T.S.A. night presented four topics for discussion that had arisen over the school year. Interested parents and stu¬ dents attended group sessions on Eng¬ lish electives, accreditation, the athletic budget, and alternative programs to classroom education. The scholarship fund was also a concern of the board — fall dues helped award financial aid to a senior. Mr. Rokicki and Mr. Harman listened to Robert O’Donnell, associate director of NEASC, speak on the issue of our accreditation. Mr. Hadlock, Mr. Edwards, and Mr. Kerivan Jr. described their respective alternate programs. Student Regional Advisory Council: An Effective Voice The Student Regional Advisory Council to the State Board of Education is one of the only organizations in the country where stu¬ dent voices are effectively heard. The regional student councils advise the State Board of Education and the Department of Education about their educational needs and concerns. Each spring, elections for this position are held; Sue Jacoby was chosen to represent Wellesley High School and Betsy Whalen became alternate. As members, they worked on four bills that were submitted to the State Legislature. Sue also appeared on ' Ask Beth” of Channel 56.

STANDING: Debbie Linnell, Susan Plumer. Every May, five students are elected to serve on the Stu¬ dent Advisory Board to the Wellesley School Committee. During the 1974-1975 year, seniors Karen Litle and Susan Plumer, junior Debbie Linnell, sophomore Heidi Fernseb- ner, and ninth grader Lauren Griffiths represented the stu¬ dent body at the bimonthly school committee meetings. Although they had no power to vote, the council brought student opinions, suggestions, and questions to the Com¬ mittee for consideration. This past year, heated topics of discussion included the high school accreditation and the reorganization of elementary schools. 48 Townspeople at the School Committee meeting listen intently to the debate. Career Seminars Introduced Wide Range of Choices to Students Student Government members meet the speakers. Tarvn Merlino, and Jeff Burns Armed Services’ representatives answer any questions. How many years of study does dentistry involve 5 ” Is journalism the right field for me 5 ” On November 13 and 14, classes were suspended for two hours each day in order that these, along with many other similar questions could be answered. In an effort to expose the pros and cons of majoring in a wide variety of over 13 different careers, guest speakers from the town of Wellesley and surrounding communities were invited to speak at the high school. Panel discussions as well as informal lectures, were conducted to inform students of the reasons why each speaker came to choose that particular field, June Fletcher speaks on the teaching profession. what kind of education was necessary, and what the career actually involved. Future pos¬ sibilities, benefits, drawbacks, and candid sug¬ gestions and answers were offered to the interested attenders. Sponsored by Student Government, under the supervision of sopho¬ more Bruce Baker, students were able to lis¬ ten to auto mechanics, biochemists, business managers, jewelers, lawyers, lobbyists, mod¬ els, social workers, optometrists, and many others.

The members were chosen from an abundance of impressive candidates for special recognition. Every student who had attained the requisite level of success in his high school endeavors was eligible for membership and was judged on four qualities: character, lead¬ ership, service, and scholarship. Under the direction of vice-president Marcie Greenfield, the society tutored over thirty stu¬ dents. The members also served as ushers at vari¬ ous school affairs such as College Night, PTSA meetings, and graduation.

Exceptional Scholars Recognized at Academic Awards Assembly At Wellesley High School, there are always talented students who excel in various areas of school life. As with outstanding athletes, the exceptional scholars are recognized in an assembly at the end of the school year. Held on May 22, 1975, the Academic Awards Assembly honored nearly one hundred stu¬ dents for their superior perform¬ ances in the class room, musical activities and for character. Brian Zimbler was the recipient of the Harvard Book; Bill Rogers claimed the Williams Book; and Judith Spacks won the Wheaton Book.

Mc r 54 As we looked back through this yearbook in the fall of 1975, many of us found our¬ selves involved in further educational pursuit. We could not forget the academic aspect of our years at Wellesley High School, and our memories ranged far and wide. The boredom, frustration, inspiration, disappointment, and satisfaction we felt throughout the three years made May 22, 1975 only more exciting. We spent many a late night typing long term papers at the last minute, copied assignments in homeroom, and crammed hours and hours for midyears and finals for which we were still unprepared. All of us counted minutes until periods ended, periods until days ended, and days until weeks ended. As each term came to a close, we experienced great joy and relief. At Wellesley High School, we learned many things, from Calculus to HAMLET to declining irregular Spanish verbs. Through our academic preparation, we formed many close friendships with faculty members as well as fellow students. As April 15 approached, nervous anticipation had many of us sitting by the mailbox awaiting the final culimnation of our hard work, efforts, and frustration of choosing and applying to col¬ leges. Some of us rejoiced, others of us cried, yet we all managed to cope with the letters that spelled out our next two or four years. Graduation seemed like the end of physics tests and history reports, yet the knowledge we have gained is only a fragment of what has yet to be discovered. It was only hoped that each and everyone of us, wherever we were — college, prep school, work — could take what we learned and achieved at Welles¬ ley High School and use it to its full potential throughout our lives.

Forsaking those lunch periods to man the bar¬ rels, pleading to non-attentive homerooms to donate to the 700 fund, planning what to say at School Committee meetings concerning accredi¬ tation — these were a few of the duties Student Government members had to perform. Under the leadership of officers Andrea Jung, Sarah Thorne, Susan Plumer, and Mary Liz Johnson, the 1975 members organized many educational, entertaining, and worthwhile events. In Novem¬ ber, Career Seminar Days brought in speakers of many different fields. A jellybean contest was held to raise money to support an American Indian foster child (did you know there were 604A dance was sponsored in the spring, and a 25 mile walk for Care was organized as well.

With the largest membership in its history, the club celebrated its twentieth anniversary with a banquet in November which the Governor and Secretary of New England Key Clubs, and the Wellesley Kiwanis Club attended. Key Club aspirants must have a fine scho¬ lastic record and must display exemplary citi¬ zenship. Members met Tuesday nights at the Keynoter Room of W.H.S. and at Howard Johnson’s. The leadership consisted of Lt. Governor John E. Corcoran, Sgt. at Arms Rich McArdle, Treasurer Peter Brown, Secretary Dave Turgeon, Vice-President Ed Meehan, President Jeff Burns, Advisors Joe Strazzula and Ray Ross, and the Board of Directors. The club performed many worthwhile activities; s«me of the most important were: the annual Bloodmobile, the Thanksgiving Game Rally, the Buddy program, and hosting the New Eng¬ land Key Club Convention in Boston. Of course, after twenty years of service, the club continued to supply the world with the infa¬ mous tube steak” at the home football games. Along with its traditional functions, mem¬ bers of the club experienced s«me unique moments like: Rob Borden’s gaudy new outfit at the first meeting. Jay Corcoran’s celebration of his election as Lieutenant Governor by swimming at the Kennedy Compound in Hyannis, the officers’ visit to Times Square at four in the morning, and helping the Dana Hall girls in their time of need.

The American Field Service Club offered students the opportunity to share experiences, culture, and knowledge with people from a foreign country by travell¬ ing to that country or acting as a host brother, sister, or friend to a foreign stu¬ dent. Last summer, Andrea Jung travelled to Norway and Sarah Thorne lived in Fin¬ land where they were able to learn about the people, history, government and cul¬ ture not as American tourists, but as mem¬ bers of host families. The high school was privileged to have two foreign students this year. Nadir Gurer from Izmir, Turkey, and Karin Haugen from Nittedal, Norway, lived and went to school in Wellesley where they gained a greater understanding of the United States and its people. Nadir said: This has been a year of trying to evaluate everything with an open mind. Listening to different points of view, acquiring new attitudes and clinging to my own values has required a self confi¬ dence and tact that have hastened my ascent to maturity.” Karin explained her year as a time to: create new relationships with your new family and your new friends that will last throughout life. The AFS experience is a matter of give and take. The art is always to give a little more than you receive.” To raise money and acquaint more peo¬ ple with the ideas and people which com¬ prise A.F.S., the club organized Sub Day, assemblies, the ping pong tournament, International Day, and an exchange of members for five days with an A.F.S. club in Burlington, Vermont.

JCL Was a Combination of the Old and the New The Junior Classical League fostered Roman and Greek culture. The members of the club, which was open to all students of Latin, enjoyed re-creating various facets of ancient life in the social and festive gather¬ ings held every month. The broad range of activities allowed each member to participate. The initiation of new members in October was conducted in a thor¬ oughly Roman manner with both the old and prospective members dressed in homemade Roman togas. The November Olympic Games, although differing from traditional athletic contests, challenged members to com¬ petition. During the winter season, the club gave a Christmas party at the Wellesley Home for Senior Citizens, celebrated the Roman Saturnalia with a delightful feast, and inducted new members. Other activities ranged from a volleyball contest with A. F.S. to the state J.C. L. convention in May. FIRST ROW, LEFT TO RIGHT: J. Garrity, M. Shcahan, M. Pearl, G. Gardner, B. Blume, R.

At the Protestant Guild for the Blind, the students talked to, helped, and learned about the blind.

Well, search no more — just ask one of the many French enthusiasts in Le Cercle Francais, or join the club yourself. The 1975 club members viewed a French movie, King of Hearts ' in Boston, then experimented with French cuisine. Other activities of the club included producing a play, attending a concert of early French Christmas music, and a seasonal party, dining at a French restaurant, and viewing slides of France. This experience gave the members of the Cercle Francais a greater apprecia¬ tion of the culture and language of France.

We should also like to remind you that tomorrow we’ll have an extended homeroom period for sophomores A-Kwa to have a guidance assembly in the 10 top rows of the lecture hall, the juniors with red hair and or freckles to be briefed on V.D. by Mrs. Ray in Rm. 221, and all the seniors will meet on the hockey rink for a skating lesson from Mr. Car¬ bone unless they have not yet watched the R-rated film on birth control shown by Mr. Wayne Hadlock . Every¬ one else will have their pre-scheduled sensitivity group ses¬ sions, which, by the way, are proving very successful .

Trips to the Primate Center, the Science Museum, the Wellesley College green¬ house, the Broadmoor Sanctuary, and the dinosaur tracks in Connecticut were among the many fascinating activities that members of the Science Ecology Action Club enjoyed. Interested students gathered to explore areas of scientific and ecological importance. They heard speakers on such diverse topics as light gardening and ani¬ mal trapping. Meeting every one or two weeks under the able leadership of Mrs. Plati, the advisor, club members not only discussed matters of ecological importance and future activities but also undertook such useful projects as planting trees in the courtyard of the school.

Led by advisor George Kerivan, Jr., the members engaged in many exciting activities, including canoeing, winter camp¬ ing, and hiking. The Club travelled to Stratton Mountain and also to Mount Katadin in Maine. Students were afforded the opportunity to attempt new sports as well as to continue with familiar ones.

Enthused by the formerly unexplored pos¬ sibilities of the paper, the new staff, under the leadership of Adviser Jack Rutledge, and Editor-in-Chief Brian Zimbler, accepted the challenge to bring in new articles, new respectability and new spirit. They canvassed the town in an advertising campaign, and with the generous support of local merchants were able to take the BRADFORD out of debt and onto a reg¬ ular publication schedule. Editor Zimbler, Assistant Editors Sarah Thorne, Meg Stone, John Long and Cathy McHugh, and Layout Editor Jane Carpenter spent Going once, going twice, to the highest bidder’ long nights in layout sessions, trying to make photographs fit in the right places and headlines interesting enough to catch the reader’s eye. The results were spectacu¬ lar. By the end of the year, the newspaper had received overwhelming acclaim from the student body and the town, and numerous awards including one for Out¬ standing Achievement in Editing and Pub¬ lishing” from the New England Scholastic Press Association. After a period of disre¬ pute and despair, the BRADFORD had returned as a dominant force in Wellesley High. RIGHT: Editor-in-Chief Brian Zimbler 68 Marian Sheehan aK ' r All work and no play ? Marian Sheehan, Katy Patterson, Mary Halpin Much effort and hard work by a small group of students insured the success of the 1975 yearbook. By canvassing stores for advertisements and soliciting parents for con¬ tributions, the financial staff raised the money to support this publication. The other essential aspect of the staff’s work was to cre¬ ate awareness of the yearbcx k among Welles¬ ley High School students and teachers: Sub¬ scription drives, which included many public address announcements and strict bookkeep¬ ing, were successful. During the last period of each day, the crew, led by Carole Jansson, the financial edi¬ tor, could be seen working diligently to meet the spiraling costs of publication. Although at first it seemed that the budget could never be balanced, the financial staff succeeded once again. WELLESLEYAN Financial Staff Faced Spiraling Costs Every little bit helped.

Many discussions and debates prevailed as the members of the 1974-75 WELLESLEYAN Yearbook staff came together in the fall. After learn¬ ing of the success of the previous WELLESLEYAN in national competition, the staff and the editors were determined to produce an even better edition. Several staff members attended the Columbia Yearbook Conference in New York City, hoping for the inspira¬ tion that would send an excellent yearbook to press. Deadlines were met, just barely, with hard work and long hours, but there was a general feeling of satisfaction and relief each time a section was sent to the printer.

The musicians played at all the foot¬ ball games, some hockey games, the Festival Parade, and at the Veterans’ Day Parade in Wellesley. Numerous concerts and assemblies were also pre¬ sented, including performances at the Gym Show in March, the Arts Festival in May, and the Southeast District Festival on May 10 in Mansfield. The highlight of the season was the Exchange Concert, which was a joint effort with the high school band of Manhasset, Long Island, New York. The band traveled with other Wellesley High music groups to Manhasset for the March 1 concert and Manhasset students arrived in Wellesley for a Feb¬ ruary 8 concert.

They performed at Brockton High School on Feb. 10 for the District Finals and received plaudits from the college adjudicators.

The audiences were very receptive to these eleven girls and conse¬ quently hoped for return engagements. Not only did the Lyrics entertain, but they also added refreshing spirit to school functions with their musical selec¬ tions. 81 A Cappella Choir, the Girls’ Choir, and the Madrigals, three active musical groups, were in demand throughout the season. The vocalists presented numerous perform¬ ances at Wellesley High School, including the Fall Con¬ cert and the Holiday Concert. Combining their talents in May at the Sacred Music Concert, the Madrigals, the A Cappella Choir, and the Orchestra featured the Mozart f ' Coronation” Mass.

It is resolved that the U.S. should significantly change the methods of selecting Presidential candidates — debate topic. During its first year, the Wellesley High School debate team made an impressive showing in numerous tournaments. Under the able direction of Mrs. Mary Reuland, the team learned quickly and proceeded to compile an outstanding record Over the season, the team attended twelve meets and col¬ lected two team trophies and seven individual awards. In spite of school apa¬ thy for debate because of its esoteric nature, the debaters formed one of the best novice teams in the state. The team was also quite successful at recruiting members and has high hopes in its underclassmen for the upcoming season. And Edward spoke his piece. Ed Hasbrouck, Meg Stone, Shari Zimble.

To be or not to be, that is the question. Cerry Joyce. The 1975 debate team provided unique opportunities. Aside from the usual advantage of meeting many people, debate enhanced research and organizational techniques and acquainted members with information not usually pre¬ sented in a classroom. Using evidence to present and refute hypotheses, the debaters developed skills for general class¬ room discussion, too. As Shari Zimble, a debater, said: Debate allows me to crystallize my thinking, helps me analyze other arguments, and helps me control my temper. I learned how to speak in front of an audience. With six people in Mrs. Reuland’s Pinto, we learned how to get along. Judging from the 1975 performance, Wellesley debaters and students were most optimistic about the team’s future. 83 “When I Take You Out in My Surrey Open wide and say Ahhh. ’ Heather Ross and Peter Bergstrom OKLAHOMA!

Activities Midway Encouraged Participation As an answer to the often-heard complaint that Welles¬ ley High suffered from a lack of communication, Assistant Principal Peter Vasaturo and interested members of the student body sponsored an Activities Midway Carnival last fall. For one full day, each extra curricular activity, athletic program, and special student program was presented to the students on a one-to-one basis by setting up an information booth on the cafeteria mezzanine. Each club was allocated a space and the members designed a booth, taking turns answering questions and promoting the club and its future activities. Activities Midway was an excellent way to increase the awareness and involvement of students in activities at the high school. !

The score was close throughout the contest, with the students ahead for most of the first half. The students’ success was due mainly to the sharpshooting of senior Brian Woodson. However, in the second half, the superior rebounding of Mr. John Mac” McDermott and Mr. Jungle Jim” Sullivan brought victory to the faculty. Despite the Faculty’s win, the game was considered a success by the more than 400 stu¬ dents who attended to see their favorite teachers perform outside the classroom, and by the Key Club, who sponsored the event and raised over $100 for charity. Mr. Rokicki struck a pose for his fans. Mr. Ivanovski demonstrated the classic ballet pirouette as Pistol Pete” and Wayne from Maine” vied for the ball. Greg Lyons grabbed the ball.

The jun¬ iors sponsored Young Ham,” a Surf Nantasket band which played jazz and rock. The Senior Class dance, featuring the Surf Nantasket band, Horse,” was a smashing success. There was not nearly enough space in the gym for all of the eager students to dance. Other dances were made possible by various school groups and clubs such as Student Govern¬ ment and the Stage Band. Despite apathy on the part of students and fear of finan¬ cial loss for sponsoring organizations. Hveryone who came enjoyed the music and the people.

Once again, the infamous Whistling Stomachs” invaded the high school stage; yet Paul Centanari as Elvis the Pelvis,” and Peter Bergstrom mimicking Elton John were two acts that will establish the 1975 show in W.H.S. history. On a more serious note, the capacity crowd was treated to the talent of two fine guitarists — Marietta Waite and Bill Rogers. The political state of affairs during the Nixon administration was aptly covered in a hilarious skit portraying All the President ' s Men” and The Three Stooges” nostalgia was revived by a Key Club trio.

Thurber Carnival Added a New Dimension to WHS Theater Produced by Dr. Larry Fischer and directed by Mrs. Ronna Frick and Mr. Barry Karas, THURBER CARNIVAL was an exciting, novel form of theater for Welles¬ ley High School. The production was the first in the school’s history to combine the talents of students and teachers on stage. Portraying both comic and serious roles, the actors dramatized several of James Thur¬ ber’s short stories. The show opened and closed with Word Dance” and presented several humorous fables such as the popular Unicorn in the Garden.” The first half ended with the touching tale of The Last Flower, a cynical depiction of civilization. The intermission featured Charlie King’s award winning film, County Dreamer” and Mr. Charlie Burgess’ imitation of an old-fashioned hawker selling photographs of Thurber per¬ formances. ' Hie second half was equally entertaining and included The Secret Life of Walter Mitty.” The Hadlocks, who per¬ formed brilliantly, assumed the lead roles. By providing background music which was aptly coordinated to the setting, the orches¬ tra enhanced the mood. The scenery was simple but effective, consisting of three four-sided walls which were arranged accordingly. Above all, by putting a part of themselves into the production, the cast established a new approach to drama at Wellesley High School. Wayne and Linda Hadlock . . or Mr. and Mrs. Walter Mitty.

Colburn 93 Ye Ol ' Club 75 The traditional evening diversion from the school night homework grind included food, entertainment, and dance at Club ’75. Students and faculty were surprised by the unrecognizable mezzanine which was decorated in the theme of the bicentennial. Yellow walls and benches were converted into an old English tavern, complete with a bar¬ tender in knickers, serving colonial punch. The evening’s first event began with a Yankee turkey dinner served by reliable underclassmen waiters and waitresses. Following the meal, the entertainment kept the crowd in suspense. After listening to Fyj Johnson perform several pieces on the guitar, the audience was delighted by Jim Laiderman and Scott Heugenburger’s amazing magic stunts. Perhaps the most hilarious performance was the mock grammar school skit presented by several ingenious teachers. The evening’s finale included dancing to the music of two out¬ standing Wellesley High bands. Tony and Fran sang Yankee Doodle. Who me 3 ” Ted McGlore Behind the scenes.

Larry Stone For the second consecutive year, the Red Raider Soccer team reached the Quarter Final of the State Soccer Tournament. Although the team had a slow start, by mid-season they had formed a cohesive unit. When the desire to win solidified in the minds of the players, they were unbeatable. One of the highlights of the 1974 season was Massachusetts State All-Star Mark Clev- erdon’s record breaking 22 goals for the sea¬ son. Mark’s effectiveness was due greatly to the hustle and skill of the other players on the front line. Senior Mike Hernberg, Juniors John Sisk and Dave Turgeon, and sophomore surprise Larry Stone kept opposing defenses confused with their crisp passing and potent shots. The defense had difficulties ' putting it all together,” but by the fifth game (which was played at Milton) the defense had become an efficient and well polished unit. Tri-captain Jay McEnroe directed the defense and was known through-out the league as one of its toughest and most consistent players. Help¬ ing Jay at wing fullbacks were juniors Bill Goodman and Rich McArdle, and senior Rich Katz. At monster fullback seniors Jon Maples, Dennis McPhee, and Dave Cook shared what Coach Davis has called the most demanding position on the field. The player who made the defense click was goalie Lee Gavris. Time and time again, it was Lee who came up with a dynamic save when the team needed it most. This year, the link between the offense and the defense was amply filled by halfbacks Jim Raphael, Pete Gar 1 and, Hamilton Workman, and Davis Clark. The halfbacks were without doubt the hardest working members of the 1974 team. In past years, the Raiders have always been one of the top teams in the state. This year’s 11 -3-2 record was outstanding, and gave great satisfaction to the players.

The girl’s varsity Red Raider field hockey team had a very successful season with only one loss. Led by co-captains Jan Wilson, Lloyd Champagne and Coach Chris Burns, the team, a strong crew of experienced seniors and juniors, and rookie sopho¬ mores, proved their ability by winning the title of State Field Hockey Champs. Great offensive playing was displayed by Jan Wilson, Janet McHugh, Karen Krech, and Jane Meehan with the help of other offensive players Nancy Agnew, Lisa Cleverdon, Holly Harlow, Maryellen Elcock and Kathy Twitchell. While the defen¬ sive team, consisting of Barb Furdon, Dawn Bedrosian, Chris Henderson and Cindy Boiardi together with Beth Alvord, Lloyd Champagne, Kelly Keefe, Jane Carpenter and goalie Wendy Brown made it difficult for opposing teams to make goals using br illiant strategy. This year was the first year that the State Field Hockey Tournament was held. In the state preliminary finals, Wellesley played Billerica with a shut-out score of 6-0. Next, the team faced Arlington in the quarter finals. The score was tied, but because Wellesley had control over the ball more than Arlington, Wellesley was announced the victor. A tough Franklin was their next victim in the semi-finals. The score tied 0-0; again, Wellesley had control over the ball more than Franklin, Wellesley was triumphant over Franklin. The last and final game was against Framingham South in the finals. An apprehensive but confident Red Raider team, played their hardest and showed spirit and stamina. They won victoriously with a score of 2-0’ Coach Chris Burns kept the team driving onward to a successful season which proved to be rewarding to all! ; ■ K a pi . s re N j V ' Lmt !vi®4v - :f - ' JHl! 1 JyWi 1-1 ' |K aKu n J .Um Y r w 1 mM ■ ■ g ■ j 2 • 1 y 1 Mm j A i k wl FRONT ROW, LEFTTO RIGHT: Nancy Agnew, Maryellen Elcock, Dawn Bedrosian,co-captains Lloyd Champagne andjan Wilson, Beth Alvord, Barb Furdon and Kathy Twitchell.

Coach John McDermott’s ideas were exempli¬ fied by the first play of the year — a long pass good for 42 yards. The team took advantage of its non-league game by beating Xaverian and establishing itself as one of the hardest hitting teams in the Bay State League. However, Wellesley was heavily penalized this year. This and the fact that most every team in the league was strong can be cited as reasons for the team’s 5-5 record. Surely, the season was a success. The first barrier of the season was to recover from the losses of senior running back Jeff Davis and junior defensive back Frank Cosolito to serious leg injuries. But performances by the Jay- cee Player of the Year, Peter Amalfi, and two-way standouts Russel Lowe, Tri-cap¬ tains Bruce Peck, Brian Cameron, and Tom Sullivan, as well as Mark Reynolds, who was named to the Bay State League All Stars as a guard, allowed the team to make all necessary adjustments. The biggest game of the year came against the Needham Rockets on Thanksgiving. Wellesley was led offensively by senior ends Peter Cassoli and Tom Crook and by senior quarterback Paul Centenari, who threw four touch¬ downs in the 30-6 win. The highlight of the year was an interception by Peter Amalfi and the ensuing run of 101 yards for a touchdown and a new school and league record. 1st.ROW: Rocky Edwards — Ass’t Coach, Alton Young, Peter Amalfi, Paul Centenari, Richard Ferguson, Wayne Cunningham, Greg Poitrast, Robert Guigli, Tri-Captains Bruce Peck, Tom Sullivan, Brian Cameron, Peter Cassoli, James Woods, John Maccini, Jeff Davis, Russell Lowe, Peter Brown, Jim Amalfi, Coach John McDermott. 2nd ROW: Ass’t Coach Mike Mastro, Manager John Owen, Bob Billings, Rick Pini, Mike Caryl, Tom Crook, Gardiner Gibson, Tom Connelly, Chris Lee, Ricky Lowe, Mark Reynolds, Frank Cosolito, Scott Peck, Mike Sardina, Paul Chrysafidis, John Delorie, Manager — Bruce Baker, Dave Porter —Trainer. 3rd ROW: Dave Rich, Bob Burr, Henry Schlottenmier, Mark McGoldrick.

The team, supported by only a few loyal fans, had some exem¬ plary individuals. Co-Captain Kevin Greene won seven out of ten meets, set a new Walpole course record, and missed breaking the home course record by four seconds. Fighting it out for second posi¬ tion on the team were Co-Captain Phil Makris and Peter Descamps. Makris fulfilled his responsibilities as Co-Captain, consistently plac¬ ing second, third, or fourth in the meets. Descamps, a gift from Belleville, Illinois, provided solid strength for the team and was strong competition for Makris as well as other teams. Though only a sophomore, Chris Hugal was fourth man, running some fast times during the season. Also showing promise for next year were Michael Greene, Joe Proud, Mike Edelstein, Ken Schroeder and Duncan Ross. The Raider’s hopes for a championship title were eliminated when they met with the stronger Needham squad. Sickness at the end of the season weakened their bid for state honors. Nevertheless, the team had a satisfying season as it carried on the winning tradi¬ tion that seems destined to continue. Coach Will St. Cyr checked the times.

The team, in the toughest league of swimming teams, had a rewarding season. The team’s greatest asset was their outstanding spirit and commendable teamwork, led by co-captains Cathy McHugh and Joanne Elliot and Coach Catinalla. The diving team of Kim Epifano, Missy Harvey, and Liza Carens was very strong.

This impressive record gave the girls the right to compete in the All-Star game against the league’s leading girl players and to play in the state tournament. Sue Sullivan, the team’s leading scorer, with 179 points, led the team offensively with co-captain Karen Hayes, Cindy Boiardi, and co-captain Jan Wilson close behind. Also playing well offensively were Betsy Fay, Sue Clark, Ellen McCahon, and Chris Henderson. Helping to pull down the rebounds were Karen Krech, Julie Allen, and Julie Christoforo.

Seniors Alan Kuong, Gerard Hal pin, Captain Bob Nut¬ ting, and junior Mark Davidson repeatedly reset the school record for the 200 yd Medley Relay, and Bob Nutting placed fifth in New England in the 50 yd Frees¬ tyle. Sophomores Rich Sullivan, Tom Mahoney, and Kirk Doggett added their talents to form the league’s championship 400 yd Freestyle Relay. The combined ability of these and other outstanding swimmers achieved upset victories over Attleboro and Seek- onk, both of which were undecided until the last event. Wellesley ended its superlative season by placing 8th in the Eastern Mass. Meet, 14th in the State Meet, and 16th in New England.

Individual Talents Benefit Entire Gymnastic Team The 1974-75 boys’ gymnastic team repeated the previous year’s superlative record. The determined efforts and ath¬ letic prowess of co-captains Keith Schroeder and Paul Centenari, seniors Joe Sisk, Jim Gregg, and underclass¬ men Jim Sheehan, John McDevitt, Todd Morrison, and Mark Mooradian, enabled the team to perform well against formidable competitors. The boys demonstrated their talent by com¬ pleting the season with a 4-3 record and placing fourth in the Bay State League. Exhibiting their skill and co¬ ordination on all six pieces, the gym¬ nasts scored constantly in the high eighties. Keith Schroeder qualified for all six events of the Individual State Gymnas¬ tic meet. Keith placed second on floor exercise, fourth o n parallel bars, and placed second overall. Keith also recieved the Coaches Award for the most outstanding senior gymnast and for the best sportsmanship. Coach Dick Morelli and Assistant Coach Steve Fagan provided invaluable guid¬ ance and support which helped make the 1974-75 team one of the most impressive teams Wellesley has ever had.

Under the guidance of first year coaches Paul Donovan and Dave Axelrod, the squad placed third in the Bay State League with a 6-3 League record and an 8-4 overall season. The Raiders had two outstanding wres¬ tlers, Kim Marden and co-captain Jim Knott, who qualified for state individual competi¬ tion. Kim Marden attained third in the 100 pound weight class, and Jim Knott was the state champion at 114 pounds. The Raiders also excelled in conference competition, placing fifth in the sectional tour¬ nament and tenth in the state tournament. The team struggled through their first six meets as .500 team. However, two of their losses were to teams with 40 meet long winning streaks. The team completed the year successfully, winning five of their last six meets. The squad had one of their best seasons in years and, with nine of the twelve starting wrestlers returning, the team will have the opportunity to improve their record in 1976.

The squad’s hard-hitting and aggressive style brought upset victories over Needham and Milton and kept them contenders in nearly all their games. Unfortunately for the team. Bay State League All-Star Mark Reynolds, talented sophomore Billy Hegarty and Bob Dufton, were lost for the season due to injuries. The scoring attack was led by assistant captain Jim McDermott and captain Jon Maples, both of whom were selected as All-Stars. The most spectacular scoring play of the season belonged to Denis MacPhee, whose single handed effort for a goal won the game over rival Natick with four seconds left on the clock. Another crowd pleaser was Jon Maples’ success¬ ful penalty shot attempt against league champion Norwood. Sophomores Dana Mathews, Jim Heskett, Rob Kapinos, and Jeff Kinlin displayed ability and promise for the future. The defensive corps was headed by assistant captain Brian Cameron and goalie Doug Walker. Noted for their bruising body checks were Mark Baldwin and Tom Sullivan, while Joe Doherty and Chip Fagan contributed greatly to the team’s defensive efforts. i Dennis looks forward to post game attractions. 128 KVEELING, LEFT TO RIGHT: Doug Walker, Chip Fagan, Mark Baldwin, Jim McDermott, Captain Jon Maples, Brian Cameron, Dennis MacPhee, Tom Sullivan.

The squad, on the average, scored higher than in past years. The superb record and high scores were due to the performances of several experienced seniors such as Betsy Moore, Margo Robinson, Jenny McCabe, Debbie Pelles, Greta Gilbertson and Kim Epifano. Key underclassmen Beth Latessa, Sally Sullivan, Becca Reggio, Sue Cathcart and Cindy Bedrosian showed steady improve¬ ment. The fact that most of the individual performers excelled under pressure enabled the team to succeed against tough competi¬ tion. Throughout the season, Coach Drevitch provided invaluable artistic ability and inspi¬ ration. Four senior gymnasts, Betsy Moore, Margo Robinson, Jenny McCabe, and Greta Gilbert¬ son, qualified for the Individual State Gym¬ nastic Competition. This number was the most Wellesley has ever had represented. The loss of the seniors will be damaging but the contributions and unity of the underclassman members boded well for the future.

Led by co-captains Peter Cassoli and Phil Makris, in the hurdles and mile respectively, the team proved to be strong in every running event. Toby Slodden, Peter Descamps, Jim Raphael, and Kevin Greene were key senior point-getters. Because under¬ classmen Mike Brown, Joe Proud, Reeky James, Peter Teschner, and Chris Hugel showed consistency and excellence in each of their events, they will certainly be the core of next year’s team. In the course of the season, the Raiders broke the team scoring record by destroying Walpole 60-26.

The team placed second in the league overall. Due to the hazardous skiing in Walt¬ ham and the lack of snow on the cross¬ country courses, the ski season was short lived. The top women cross-country finishers were, Karin Haugen, finishing first in the meet; Mary McGoldrick; Ali Riley; Louise Hurwitz; Deedee Kelley; and Wendy Behrend. Skiing well for the men were. Bill Davies, Davis Clark, and Gary Gerlack. In the four slalom races that were held, top combined scorers for the women were, Mary McGoldrick, Sue Thompson, Cindy Alexander, and Ali Riley. Bringing in top scores for the men were, David Butze, Bill Davies, Bill McEnroe, and Chris Lee. Congratulations and good luck to next year’s captains, Sally Riley and Davis Clark. 134 KXHHLING, LEFT TO RIGHT: Mary Duffy, Enora Kunica, Ali Riley.

Basketball Endures Rebuilding Season All-Star Eddie Meehan went for the hoop. 1975 was clearly a rebuilding year for the winless Wellesley Red Raider Basketball team. Although the team fought hard for a win, their lack of rebounding and experience, and their inability to score early hurt them badly. Stalwart performances were turned in by senior all-star Ed Meehan, senior captain and defensive specialist Dave Boghosian, sen¬ ior Dennis Archibald, sophomores Larry Stone, Mark Miklavic, and Steve Fay, and jun¬ iors Bob Lovett and Rick ' ' Boom-Boom” Lowe. Seniors James Woods and Tom Maher, junior Larry Smart, and sophomore Guy Salesman all pitched in with excellent per¬ formances. For first year coach, Nick Marinaro, it was a disappointment, but he can only look for¬ ward to a brighter future with the aggressive play of Larry Stone, and Larry Smart, the offensive firepower of Mark Miklavic and the heads up” ball playing displayed by the pen¬ etrating Guy Salesman and the all around play of Rick Lowe and Bob Lovett. They should be strong contenders for the Bay State title in 1976.

The lineup for the team was: first singles —Tom Murray; second singles — Caleb Aldrich; third singles — Kim Mardcn; first doubles — Larry Stone and Bill Goodman; second doubles — Scott Hugcn- berger and Bruce Kelley. Then, due to challenges and injuries, the linc-up changed considerably in late April. Bill Goodman, Tom Murray, and Kim Mardcn played 1, 2 and 3 singles respec¬ tively while Larry Stone and Bruce Kelley played first doubles, and Scott Hugcnbcrgcr and Greg Andrew played second doubles. The team continued its’ winning ways and defeated nine out of its next ten opponents. Then, with a record of 15-2, Wellesley took on a strong Needham team for sole possession of second place. Unfortunately, Needham won, 4-1. Judging from the look of this year’s team and the fact that many members will be returning, next year’s team should be as successful.

The Girls Varsity Tennis Team was once again champion of the Bay State League. However, the honor had to be shared with Fram¬ ingham North, the only team the girls lost to in league competition. The line-up for most of the season was Marilyn McGreevy at first sin¬ gles, Sue Bodden at second singles, and Sally MacCrellish at third sin¬ gles. The doubles teams were Sally Broderick and Maureen Duggan and Louise Hu rwitz and Maryse Levesque respectively. Other squad members included seniors Karen Hayes and Lauren Glass, Juniors Jill Martin, Roberta Goganian and Carol Wright, and sophomores Martha Gilbertson, Ginny Gardner, and Sherry Manchester. Because of their outstanding record, the team was able to send their first and sec¬ ond singles and first doubles team to state individual competition and the entire team to the Bay State League Tournament.

Co-captained by Bob Nutting and Peter Cassoli, the 1975 track squad attained a 6-3 record and tcx k third place in the Bay State League. Although all events were well manned, the most spectacu¬ lar accomplishment of the season came from the pole vaulting crew. Bob Nutting, Paul Centenari, and Jim Sheehan swept their event eight times in nine meets, and amassed ' 8 out of a possible 81 points. leading the team in other events throughout the season were Bruce Peck and Brian Cameron in the weight events, Toby Slodden in the 880, Mike Brown in the 100 and 220, and Peter Cassoli in the hurdles and the tri¬ ple jump. In the league conference meet, Chris Hugel ran to victory in the two mile and Kevin Greene took a close second.

Overcoming this one loss, the Raiders returned to do justice and destroyed the Wayland team.

Throughout the season, Dave Tur- geon displayed excellent leadership and ability. He helped to coordinate the extensive talents of individual members, which enabled the team to p erform well under pressure. The squad’s com¬ petitive ability was convincingly demonstrated at the ninth hole of the Framingham North meet. where the combination of effective individual and team play helped shift the score to Welles¬ ley’s favor 0-4). Despite the departure of four senior members, the team seemed destined to be successful in future years. The return of key underclassmen, Bill Haggerty, Todd Gebron, Dave Walker, Will Oteri, Dave Turgeon, and Debbie Hoff¬ man, boded especially well for the 1976 season.

Softball Improved The girls’ varsity softball team showed much improvement in 1975 with a record of five wins and thirteen losses. The girls, led by Coach DeVincenzi and co-captains Hope Schermerhorn and Anne McGee, came on strong at the end of the season by winning their last five games. The pitching was tremendous but, because of miscues in the field and a lack of hitting at times, the girls lost many games by only a few runs. With only a few seniors graduating and with the expe¬ rience the juniors and sophomores gained, future teams should be even better, judging from the year’s final games. What footwork!

The team had fine fall and spring programs and raced such schools as B.U., M.I.T., Tabor Academy, Brewster Academy, and Wir- cester Academy. Coached by Fran Mear and led by co-captains Cindy Gager and Andy Kane, this group of enthusiastic sailors braved some of the worst sailing conditions and finished their spring season with a 4-3 record. The season marked the last year that the team remained under the direction of Coach Mear. Although the squad lost its senior members, the experience of returning underclassmen Kathy Owen, Lisa NcCabe, Dave Gorgone, Annchen Gager, Ed Marcus, and Charlotte Swift, seemed to promise a better record for the upcoming season.

Coached by Don LaBourne and co-captained by Betsy Dole and Tawnya Rennick, the enthusiastic squad battled to a three way tie for first place. Wellesley excelled in both running and field events. Valuable individual contributions were the founda¬ tion of the team’s success. Consistently winning first place for Wellesley was miler Helen Johnson. Senior Julie Dimock was also exceptional in both the 440 and the shotput. Betsy Dole and Linda Per- ani earned many points in the 880 and Anne Davis, Dena Rodis, and Betsy Ide did the same in the 220. As the crowning achievement, Pat Hughes received the award for Best Hurdler” in the league. Sopho¬ more Beth Latessa also did well in the hurdling event. Both Claudia Thar and Helen Johnson con¬ tributed vital points in the high jump and Dena Rodis, Beth Latessa, and Tawnya Rennick per¬ formed successfully in the long jump. The440 relay team, consisting of Beth Latessa, Claudia Thar, Anne Davis, and Pat Hughes won third place in the league meet. Although seniors Julie Dimock, Betsy Dole, Betsy Moore, Debbie Pelles, and Kathy Twitchell all left, the squad anticipated continued success with the return of many talented underclass¬ men.

The All Night Party started at ten from then on, seniors and their friends began an evening of fun, frolic, and enjoyment. While food, pin¬ ball machines, and ping pong distracted some, a large crowd was dancing to the music of ' ' Horse,” a band that the Senior Class had sponsored in the fall. After hours of tired feet (and not just feet) the remaining party had breakfast at four, spent the last few moments with their high school buddies, and dwindled off by six. It was a night when everyone was everyone else’s friend, together to celebrate a common point in their lives, and a good way to end senior year. Peter Garland and Marsha McDonald. You wouldn’t.

Senior year is always a time of busy, fund raising, and frantu preparation for the final week. Tony, Fran, Andrea, and Nancy spent many hours planning activities that would make our last year at Wellesley High School exciting and memorable amidst the pressure and confusion of future college and work plans. Along with the traditional paper drive and magazine subscription drive, the class sponsored a dance featuring the sensational band Horse” from the Surf Nantasket. The ski swap, tenior shirts, spirit buttons, and Club ' 75 were all part of an endeavor to create spirit and earn money for the banquet and prom at the same time. There is a unique unity in each graduating clast; the Class of 1975 was no exception. Seniors, in all their eager anticipation to graduate and meet new and different people, still felt a certain sadne s and a special closeness as their many years together came to an end. Seniors found it a painful, exciting experience as they each departed in separate directions, yet the friendships that formed will always be cherished.

So there ' s only two weeks left of school and then I ' m out in the big world. Can ' t wait until graduation night ... it ' s gonna be great. I ' ll cruise up front, grab that diploma, ( say thanks buddy and run. ' S ' pose I don ' t khow where I ' m running to, though. Before, all I did was follow the rest of those darn rowdies. I knew I could always find someone at a game, a party, McDonald ' s, or chowing down at the cafeteria after school. But now it ' s gonna b different. We ' re all going to take off and try to make it on our own. Listen to this joke - letting graduation get to him after twelve years of being a hard guy. Oh gee ... Yeah, it ' s time to make the scene in class . . . guess I might even miss that when it ' s over. Check ya later, buddy! Thanks, see ya, bye. It’s graduation and it ' s unbelievable that I’m here. They’ll call my name in a few minutes, and I ' ll walk up to receive my diploma ... where do I go from there? I ' ve always had the security of the school routine and its activities, surrounded by the friends I was so familiar with. Now we’ll all be going in different directions, and I wonder how long it will be before the memories that meant so much start to fade. After twelve years of this you would think I would be ready to move on, but I feel like I’m leaving a part of me behind. Maybe that’s good though, because I really have changed in if the three years that I’ve been here. Well, pretty soon they ' ll get to my name. Then I ' ll be up ✓ there, and it ' ll be all over. In a way, I guess everything’s really just beginning. E 15 Juniors ' Fund Raising Was Profitable Although 1974-1975 was a year of economic crisis, the students at Wellesley High School were not lacking in school activities. The junior class officers successfully diminished the financial burden of the senior year by holding several activities. The junior dance and pizza night, held Nov. 9, proved to be a welcome interlude from the pressure and drudgery of high school homework. Young Ham,” a band from Surf Nantasket, entertained the crowd while refreshments of homemade pizza and McDonald’s orange drink were supplied. The class carwash in the fall, at which stu¬ dent volunteers scrubbed a total of exactly one hundred cars. It was profitable enough to be repeated in the spring. February 14 also brought the mouth watering aroma of home baked goods to the cafeteria. Throughout the year’s other activities, including a telephone book sale and raffles, junior class spirit never waned. 206 MISS MI LOT Jr. Class Advisor She who laughs last doesn’t get the joke.

The end came swiftly — far more swiftly than Ameri¬ can intelligence officials had predicted. Fol¬ lowing the premature withdrawal from inde¬ fensible border provinces by certain South Vietnamese generals, the Communists began seizing vast amounts of territory. Betrayed by incompetent and indecisive leadership, the A.R.V.N (Army of the Republic of South Vietnam) soldiers retreated southward in dis¬ order. The continual pressure from Vietcong and North Vietnamese divisions accelerated the ultimate demise of Nguyen Van Thieu’s regime, which led to the surrender of Siagon six days later. Throughout the precipitous decline of the Thieu government, the United States attempted to rescue endangered South Viet¬ namese refugees. In the few weeks before the fall of Siagon, American marines were able to evacuate over one hundred thirty thousand South Vietnamese citizens along with the remaining U.S. military personnel and ambas¬ sadorial staff. Those Vietnamese who were able to escape with the departing Americans encountered both delays in processing and public opposition. Burdened by economic woes, the United States government feared that the final American withdrawal would cause a corresponding loss of prestige abroad. The strained relations with N.A.T.O. allies and the continuing Arab-Israeli dispute cre¬ ated tension in U.S. policy which exploded in the Mayaguez incident. The seizure of the American merchant vessel, Mayaguez, pro¬ voked a sudden commando recapture of U.S. Marines instead of calm negotiation through diplomatic channels. The success of the maneuver inspired enthusiastic public and political support, but it demonstrated the atmosphere of crisis that pervaded the Capi¬ tol. The future, too, held little promise of relief from the tension of foreign affairs. LJ U.S.A.

ALL THOSE WHO GAVE THEIR TIME AND 56.000 DEAD AMERICANS Courtesy of THE BOSTON GLOBE 234 Distributed by McNaughLSindicate The first full year of court-ordered deseg¬ regation ended on a note of gloom and fore¬ boding for the future. Judge Arthur Garrity’s second phase proposal to integrate city schools met with almost universal opposition and criticism. The increase over the previ¬ ously proposed levels of busing alienated most whites, while the exclusion of East Bos¬ ton from the areas of student redistribution sparked resistance from the N.A.A.C.P. As with the initial implementation of Judge Gar¬ rity’s order, the second phase suffered most of all from a lack of time to appease dis¬ tressed parents and to prepare for the shifts in school population. Even the modified first phase, which only affected certain parts of Boston, generated widespread white resist¬ ance, through school boycotts and R.O.A.R. (Restore Our Alienated Rights) organized protests, and sporadic outbreaks of violence. The disorder ranged from the beating of a Haitian in South Boston to the stabbings of two white students in integrated high schools. Of the city’s eighty thousand stu¬ dents, at least ten thousand refused to attend public schools affected by the desegragation order. With these and other urgent considera¬ tions in mind, Judge Garrity assembled a commission of experts from Harvard and Boston University to formulate the second phase of his desegragation plan. Although inspiring immediate opposition from the Bos¬ ton school committee, the masters” devised a comprehensive proposal which involved a reduction in mandatory busing, use of mag¬ net” integrated schools to attract students, and the participation of universities in the educational enrichment of magnet” schools. However, Garrity ultimately rejected the plan, which had gained the support of many more reasonable anti-busing whites, because it did not maintain similar ratios of black and white students throughout the city. Garrity ' s final order, which established approximately equal ratios, still left the future of Boston school desegregation in doubt. ACCURSED BE HE THAT FIRST INVENTED WAR. 235 Courtesy of THE BOSTON GLOBE Wellesley ' s Sheltered Community Was Shaken by School Controversies Okay all you S’s, stay in your lines ' The turmoil of busing and Vietnam scarcely affected the events of Welles¬ ley; the town’s attention was focused on local issues. The accreditation con¬ troversy, which seemed so threatening at the end of 1974, was temporarily resolved when the High School avoided being placed on probation in March. Cooperation between architects from the Cambridge Seven Associates, Inc. and the High School Administra¬ tion had enabled the school committee to develop plans to correct the most glaring deficiencies in the school plant. The town meeting then approved $26,000 in April for further studies to correct, in a limited way, the deficien¬ cies in the library and industrial arts.

Starring and ending times of the school day were voted to be changed for the 1975-1976 school year in order to facilitate the extended day proposed for 1976-1977. The purpose of the extended day was to make space available for renovation and alteration. Additional staff mem¬ bers in the areas of business, industrial arts, health, and art were also requested for 1975-1976. As a result of those actions. Principal Ted Rok- icki was given until September to submit a prog¬ ress report detailing the town’s plans to renovate school facilities. As the school year ended, the accreditation issue was over-shadowed by the sch(X)l fcxxl serv¬ ice scandal. Newspaper reports of F.B.I. investi¬ gations into alleged misuse of H.E.W. (Health, Education, and Welfare) funds for the school lunch program alleged that at least sixty thou¬ sand dollars worth of cafeteria supplies had been sold illegally to private parties. As with the bus¬ ing dispute in Boston, the High School issues cast doubt on Wellesley’s future tranquility. Wellesley’s isolated community seemed less removed from the turmoil that pervaded national and international events. Margo Robinson leads rhe ribbon dance in rhe Gym Show.

Alex Black Selected as the First Presidential Scholar in the History of Wellesley High School During his senior year, Alex Black dis, guished himself in several areas; number one academically in the graduating class, editor-in- chief of the WELLESLEY AN, President of the National Honor Society, recipient of a Si,(XX) National Merit Scholarship, and acceptance for admission to Harvard. However, he was most honored by his election as a Presidential Scholar in June. The Presidential Scholars Program, estab¬ lished by Executive Order in 1964, has honored our nation’s most intellectually distinguished sec¬ ondary school graduates for eleven consecutive years. 121 Scholars are selected from public and private high schools to receive personal recogni¬ tion and a commemorative medallion from the President of the I nited States. One girl and one boy are chosen from each state, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. Two students are chosen from American families living abroad and fifteen additional students are selected at large. Initial selection was conducted for the Office of Education by the Educational Testing Service of Princeton, New Jersey in cooperation with other agencies. A Presidential Commission, com¬ posed of eminent private citizens appointed by the President, made the final selection of Schol¬ ars. Students may not apply individually to the program nor can schools nominate them. There is no monetary award given to the Scholars. Students are invited to visit Washing¬ ton, D.C. for two days where they are honored by various dignitaries, scholars and most notably — the President.

In the preceeding pages the year¬ book staff attempted to depict the sal¬ ient moments and aspects of the Wellesley High School experience. The 1975 WELLESYAN was the result of hard work by a dedicated group of students. Last minute panic over missing pictures, desperate dead¬ line meetings lasting far into the morn¬ ing, and frantically written copy were integral parts of producing this year¬ book. The co-editors-in-chief particu¬ larly appreciated the unflagging efforts of Sue, Larry, Andrea and of all those who comprised the nucleus of the staff: Jody, Talbott, Peter, Karen, Deb¬ bie, Sally, Mary, Ginny, Beth, Holley, and Barbara. The Westwood photogra¬ phers, advisor Mrs. Janice Barrett, Tay¬ lor representative Paul Delaney, and the financial staff also provided invalu¬ able assistance to the WELLESYAJJ However, the yearbook represents far more than the tremendous efforts of those involved; we hope it captures an essential aspect of each student’s life and his high school years, by preserv¬ ing the memories.
