Michelle Brodeur EDUCATION BEGINS WITH PEOPLE If not for friends, there’d be no reason for me to come to school,” admitted stu¬ dent, Susan Sherman. Why would I want to come here and just sit in class and take notes, and not talk to anybody 5 ” Friends, indeed, seemed to be the mo t important part of high school for many students at W.H.S. Relationships with people have subordinated academic studies as the real curriculum of secondary educa¬ tion. Young people are far more interested Karen Thompson Kimmy Marden and Jody Jackson Gemma Perdoni and Cynthia Lambert in each other and in the faculty members and administrators they encounter in ichool than they could ever be in text¬ books and lectures. Perhaps this is proper, because after all, students do spend six hours or more a day in school five days of the week, nine months a year, for twelve years of their lives. It is only natural that the student’s real knowledge of the outside world and of himself should come from contact with others. You’re not the same as everyone else,” explained Dena Rodis, so by meeting with other people you discover different personalities, and learn how to get along with others. You also learn about yourself.” Passing in the hall Sue Kelly 5 Jay Corcoran, sitting in the cafeteria during a lunch period, agreed; In order to get along out in the big world, you’re going to have to adapt to all kinds of people this is the beginning of all that.” Of course students find more in their rela¬ tionships with each other than a chance to get used to acting as social beings. People met in ichool begin to emerge as different, interest¬ ing individuals, with varying hopes, values, dreams and goals. Exposure to a variety of kinds of people widened the st udent’s view¬ point. Meeting different people every day is an education in itself,” proclaimed Todd Gebron. Some of the most valuable and excit¬ ing learning experiences come out of stu¬ dents ' relationships with each others’ class¬ mates, teammates, girls and guys, friends and foes. The action under the bridge continued. Mimi Pitman and Cookie Ralli relaxed outside the cafeteria. Steve Purtado showed Ntyle in dress. Regina Cameron came upstairs. S Wellesley High students have found that friendships are intrin¬ sically pleasurable and valuable in themselves. I have met some of the nicest people this year,” Nina Ciarello enthused. It’s great.” Indeed, high school friends helped make things exciting, especially for seniors. School isn’t that important to me now,” stated Dale Bleakney. It’s mainly living for the parties and the weekends . being with friends and having a good time.” But friends also provided companion¬ ship, a comforting influence, and security. I feel secure with my friends, because I can do anything I want with them,” explained Wendy Brown. Friends are . . . somebody to skip classes,” said Mary Crosby, on the way to an English class. Tim Keefe and Mr. Rotkiki Mr. Hadlock showed his humor 7 Mr. Touhey had a suggestion for Wendy. Dave Mandozi, Class Evel Kneivel, showed off his wheels. Dick Maccini found that the Guidance lounge was made for waiting. Jim Boyd caught up on the latest news. You know you can count on them,” added Linda Perani. Having good friends actually set one at ease, making performance in school better. Asserted Latawnya Rennick, Friends could help . if you’re lonely; that affects your academic work.” The students, themselves, then, are Liz Rcny and friend. the real subject matter of a high school education, W.HA young people are discovering. Many of the greatest bene¬ fits of the high school experience came from being with other students — sweating together while taking a tough physics test, making friends in the caf¬ eteria, taking it easy in the parking lot, playing chess in the English Resource Center or flirting in the halls between classes. PEOPLE make the high school years exciting, stimulating, meaningful and fulfilling. The important part of high school education isn’t in the class¬ room — it’s in the parking lot,” said one student. And Marilyn McGreevy, paraphrasing Mark Twain, summed it up: People are what it’s all about. We shouldn’t let our schooling get in the way of our education.” 9 HIGH SCHOOL DEFICIENCIES REMAINED UNSOLVED As the school year drew to a close, it seemed unlikely that the plans to correct serious deficiencies in Wellesley High School’s Industrial Arts or Library program would be forthcoming. In a December referendum, the Town had rejected a proposal for a building addition to improve vocational training offerings and expand the Library. Clearly, the economic climate and popular sentiment in town seemed not to favor large expenditures for education. Citizens objected that taxes were high enough already; some were particularly opposed to funding of non-academic pro¬ grams like woodworking or metal shop. Although citizens rejected the $1.8 million plan for renovations, the School Com¬ mittee was forced to allocate funds to bring the high school building up to state safety standards. Mr Rokicki was always ready to talk to students, (with Linda Perani) Crowded, cramped machine shop scene. Students had to fight for space in the woodworking room. Hard at work in the art room. Sue Faulkner and Carol De Fillippo found space in the library. Students at Wellesley High School will continue to suffer from inadequate facilities, and from their town’s refusal to provide a fully comprehensive education for its young people. The cramped quarters and ancient machines of the shop areas (circa 1938) are a hazard to learning as well as safety. A tiny- size library is far below the requirements of the American Library Association concerning space and shelving needs. Students are, in Paul Nlantovani worked on his project. effect, discouraged from taking advantage of two important areas in their school. Principal Ted Rockiki, unable to win a five year fight to improve the high school, left his position to become Assistant Superintendent of Schools in Wellesley. It remains to be seen whether the question of the quality of educa¬ tional offerings will be taken up in his absence. New attempts to fund a building project or other improvement plan will undoubtedly meet with resistance; if nothing is done, Wellesley High may lose it accredita¬ tion with the New England Association of Schools and Colleges, resulting in the loss of reputation that will match its lack of educa¬ tional facilities. 13 THE MANY FACES. . .

STUDENTS CONCENTRATED ON BASICS With the advent of a back to basics’’ movement in modern education, students of today are supposed to have rediscovered the essentials of academic study, which had purportedly been abandoned for new pursuits and teaching methods. Actually, this has not been the case. Students have always buckled down to the plain, simple study of pristine mathematics, English, science and the other traditional subjects. Recently, the innovations of the 60’s, which supplemented traditional learning rather than replaced it, have proved less valuable than tried and tested meth¬ ods; thus, it is the innovations which have begun to fall by the wayside, as older modes of learning grow increasingly more pop¬ ular with new waves of students. The most valuable experiment of the New Teaching will remain with us; the most effective practices of the Old have been reinstated. Ed Horack and Clark Blodgett appeared to enjoy their Social Studies classes. Mrs. McGilvroy and Marc Fontaine worked with the adding machine. Mr. Palmaccio reviewed Robin Peyton’s homework during a free period. 17 ADMINISTRATION PLANS SUFFERED SETBACK WITH REFERENDUM DEFEAT ON DECEMBER 15, 1975 The Wellesley High School Administra¬ tion suffered a major disappointment this year when a referendum defeated the pro¬ posal for a building addition. Principal Ted Rokicki had hoped to improve declining facilities in areas such as the Library and Industrial Arts, in order to maintain the school’s standards of providing a comprehen¬ sive education for all students. Unfortunately, he met with opposition, largely because of the fiscal aspects of an addition. Many peo¬ ple fail to realize that this is a public high school,” said Mr. Rokicki. I think high school kids should have the right to experi¬ ment with technical skills as well as theoreti¬ cal skills but some townspeople apparently see things with a different eye.” The next � itep for the Administration was PHTHR VASATURO. Assistant Principal BAR BAR A STKKVES. Administrative Assistant to look for other ways of -olving the addition problem. Safety features for the handicapped and new electrical wdring were still badly needed; new shop tools might be provided for in an equipment budget. It was hoped that town committees would continue to assist the high school in solving its present dilemma. Meanwhile, the W.H.S. Adminis¬ tration returned to its perennial concerns: stu¬ dent scheduling, policy revision, a new time schedule, and reviewing proposed courses to enhance the curriculum. TKD ROKICKI. Principal 18 RICHARD CARBONE, Assistant Principal r, GUIDANCE TAKES STEPS TO MEET MORE OFTEN WITH STUDENTS ' You want another pass ? ” (Mrs. Marcin) Don’t worry — you’re as good as accepted.” (Mr. Duggan) Imagine the surprise of sopho¬ mores a year ago when they found themselves scheduled for Guid¬ ance once a week! Each counselor met once a week with four sopho¬ more classes that ranged in size from six to twenty students. The idea was to ease students’ adjust¬ ment to the high school and to provide them with an easier access to guidance counselors. Hope¬ fully, the classes of 1978 and up will now graduate having had more secure, carefree and well- rounded educations as a result of close contact with counselors. Tell us more about life at prep school!” (Sandy Strawbridge, Mr. Harman, Pam Grant) r WfgSggZ fik 1 4 m L Wow! College sure seems interesting.” (the Senior Class at a guidance assembly) SCIENCE MADE SEVERAL CHANGES No, the safety showers in the science classrooms were not installed because of an emphasis on cleaner living, but became safety in the science labs has become a major concern. Issuing gallons of H,0 with one pull, the showers were installed and appropriately turned with the addition of an Advanced Placement Chemistry course as a complement to Advanced Topics in Biology, (The new courses had problems because of the adjustment to the inadequate labs.) Future offerings such as Astronomy, Electronics, and a second year of Biology for the non-science major may not warrant such safety precautions. A Towering Infemo — made by Mark O’Leary.

(Samon Ward) Fu + N = FUN in the science lecture hall (Sally Riley,Jane Meehan, and Sue Cathcart.) 20 COMPUTERS USED TO HEIGHTEN INTEREST IN MATH Today, because of the increased importance of comput¬ ers in our technological society, the Math Department has added a portable desk-top computer to its equipment. The new computer, along with the two terminals already in the school, has interested a greater number of students in prob¬ lem sol ving and learning more about the machines them¬ selves. Hand calculators were also used in the classrooms for ease of computation and to promote greater interest in mathematics. With these tools, the math teachers hoped to make their courses more appealing to their students. It’s the Three Math-sketers: Mr. Ivanoski, Mr. Palmaccio, and Mr. Tiberio. Is math all you’re laughing at 5 ” (Mr. Barr and Scott Wheeler) ENGLISH DEPARTMENT SEES INCREASING TREND OF BACK TO BASICS REFLECTED IN STUDENT COURSE SELECTIONS For the 12th straight year, SAT and PSAT scores dropped dramatically nation-wide and, although Wellesley’s average scores were considerably higher than the norm across the country, juniors and seniors facing college boards still felt it necessary to elect English Skills” in such numbers that the sections grew from two in 1972 to the current 14. The popularity of Practical English,” Analytical and Expository Writing,” and Literary Criti¬ cism,” indicated that large numbers of stu¬ dents apparently believed that further study in the basic use of English was important also.

ETHNIC STUDIES INTRODUCED TO CURRICULUM In the sixties, Daniel Moynihan’s book, BEYOND THE MELTING POT, explored the theory that perhaps America was not the melting pot we had always assumed. Black was declared beautiful and native American Indians re-asserted their heritage. Colleger and universities began to develop programs and add departments that focused on a number of ethnic groups — Black, Eastern, Jewish, etc. This widespread interest in ethnicity as an area of socio¬ logical interest and research was also highlighted by authors in their literary exploration into the questions of self-identity. The impact was not lost on Wellesley — Dr. Larry Fisher of the English Department and Miss Pat Reardon of the History Department worked for nearly 18 months to prepare a new elective for juniors that fulfills both English and History requirements. The question, Does assimilation into the mainstream of American culture require the sublimation of ethnic characteristicsdoes not have to be answered in the nega¬ tive. Students enrolled in the course focused on several groups: Native Americans, Irish, Jewish, Italians, Blacks and Orientals. Their perspective was unique in that they studied the history, sociology, and literature of each group during its development in this country. Each student also researched a personal family history which became for many a search into the question, What is my heritage. Who am I?” To date. Ethnic Studies is the third course, in addition to Humanities and America, that is a joint effort of team teaching offered by the departments of Social Studies and English, Memorize the Constitution?! (Maureen Gorman) 23 FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE THE ' 60 ' S, LATIN MADE HEADWAY IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE Begin with us where? (David Dumouche) Je m’appelle Pierre.” (Peter Osterland) While the dress styles of years past became the fashion craze last year, Latin became vogue in the Foreign Lan¬ guage Department. Mr. Raymond Caefer, Department Head, stated that, This shift from more recent trends in language study reflects students’ concern for basic lan¬ guage development.” He also pointed out that, Latin cov¬ ers important areas in grammar, vocabulary and world his¬ tory; therefore, students develop a foundation in several academic areas ” 2i BUSINESS HELPED STUDENTS PREPARE FOR FUTURE How can you lose money before you spend it?” (Mrs. McGilvary, Vicki Mastro.) Even though 75% of W.H.S. graduates in the past few years have gone to further educa¬ tion, a majority of students elect courses in the Business Department because the skills they learn focus on two main areas: 1. ) those needed to obtain a position in the business world, either after high school or college and 2. ) those needed to cope with the con¬ sumer-orientated aspects of daily life in the belief that people should know how to inter- Mrs. Gatos points out a key mistake.

Jan Foster.) 25 INDUSTRIAL ARTS NEEDED ASSISTANCE Since the defeat of a building addition by referendum has cancelled plans to improve its situation, the Industrial Arts Department continues to suffer under inadequate space and deficient equipment. An elitist attitude on the part of many townspeople in Welles¬ ley seems to have prevented the addition of new shop facilities; many feel that Wellesley students should only be interested in acquir¬ ing the academic skills needed to prepare them for college, despite the fact that roughly 20% of each graduating class does not go on to higher educational institutions. Principal Ted Rokicki has indicated that school admin¬ istrators are still trying to find ways to improve the Industrial Arts facilities, since they consider an opportunity to learn about craftsmanship and technical skills an inte¬ gral part of what every student needs to develop as a human being. Mr. Carl Olson, Department Head, continues to hope that within the next few years. Industrial Arts will be modernized and brought up to the stand¬ ards which other schools presently maintain. ABOVE: I thought you knew what it was.” ART AND MUSIC: A MEDIUM FOR EXPRESSION Despite crowded quarters, the Art Depart¬ ment managed to provide student artisans with a variety of materials to work with. Choices for crafts included jewelry making, pottery and ceramics, as well as graphics, tex¬ tiles, printing, drawing and painting. The Music Department was instrumental in providing spirit around the school. The marching band stirred crowds at football and hockey games, and groups like the Lyrics, Orchestra, and A Cappella Choir were always there to entertain at holiday and exchange concerts. BELOW: ”)s it a new bug device.” PE BASED ITS PROGRAMS ON STUDENT INTEREST POLLS Moving toward increasing interaction between students and faculty, the Physical Education teachers based their program on a student poll asking what activities students wished to pursue during their gym classes. Among the activities selected were fencing, yoga, lacrosse, fall track, tennis, universal gym, trampoline, and speedball. With such a program, athletic director Bud Hines suc¬ ceeded in increasing student interest in physi¬ cal education while still maintaining a vigor¬ ous program. Mrs. Ray, head nurse, also took an active part in the Physical Education program by coordinating student physicals for sports, while also maintaining other school health program . The health department was also well-prepared for any emergencies with a staff of three. —— --J J ri Floating like a butterfly.” — Mary Dubbs. En-Garde Je dis.” Mrs. Ray, Head Nurse 28 LIBRARY CROWDING CONTINUED Now 1 lay me down to sleep.” (Ted Merlo) Many people fail to realize that a school library is as essential to English programs as a laboratory is to science classes. Since the pro¬ posed addition to W.H.S. wa= defeated, for the present, the library continues to present crowded and inadequate facilities for the 1300 students of the High School. Extra space is needed to pro¬ vide more than the 33 seats for students in the library, to offer room for an audio-visual media center to meet the needs of modern education, and to give the librarians a working area. Until these needs are met, even basic programs such as Sophomore Orientation (in which tenth graders in English classes learn to use sophisticated refer¬ ence materials) will be a source of frustration for students, teachers, and librarians. ' Once you’ve made it past Ms. Loenberger. .” (Mrs. Haines explains the floor plan to sophomores.) Mrs. Bigwood TEACHER: A GALLERY OF TEACHERS AGREE THAT AN INTERESTED STUDENT IS WHAT THEIR JOB IS ALL ABOUT Mr. Richard Palmaccio: A teacher is like a fine wine — he improves with age, then turns to vinegar.” Mr. St. Cyr: I look for enthusiasm and desire.” Mr. Gordon Ivanoski: . . desire and determination.” 30 Mr Palumbo: A student has the capability to do anything he really wants to do.” Mr. Fxlward Merlin: A student should have a sense of com¬ mitment and a sense of humor Mr. Hadlock: Hducation is not necessarily limited to the classroom.” Mrs. Goddard: Teaching is always full of rejuvenating ambiguity. Mr. Crockett: I look for a genuine excitement for learning on the part of a student.” Mr. Don Sullivan: The real test in one’s education comes in putting it to use.” 31 0 ( U o “O 0 1— • u 0 Lq 0 L. u “D O • to ns s to to i— O - 1c 0) O O o $ to £ 0 to _0 O CL to 0 C U to O) 0 o 0 L- L. x 0 0 E o 0 o _c U M— c 0 U 0 M- o “O -Q O C i— 0 CL to o c 0 O avail help 0 O CL 00 LU O ' _n to to u D L- ( to 1— 0) u o CL) - 0 0) CL o o U- 1— IS) CL o O A C « D 1) O) Q) c O O O • (1) o .E !■§ _o co C O) £ o _c U) 0 o O o D z 12 “O 0 co co CD _c O U) CD co CD C ’c o £ co co E CD f— o D 4— E U c o c 0) co co O _c co co co O “O CL o c C (D 0) D s ✓ u_ 33 c 1) “O D o CO D D O • to £ o _c O oo O O 1c 1) o o oo 0 c 5 o CD “D D oo 0 0 E oo 0 O c “D C O 00 _c 00 0 oo 1c oo O 0 oo 00 0 o U u_ D oo O CL 0 T3 0 i U i o X 0 oo 0 O O oo 0 O Q. u O CL D U D u D L� x 0 oo 0 U D DOROTHY MULRY GERALD MURPHY LUCY NEEDLEMAN FRANCES O BRIEN CARL OLSON JOHN OUIMETTE c D E o “D Z o 0 00 C 1— _Q L— D — 00 0) E E 0) u D _C H— o “O 0 u o • _c c c 0) o o i— 1) 0 00 C D o c c 00 (D □ -C c 1 z 0) 00 o _C 1) _Q 00 o (1) 00 C 1) 1) 0 O u oo oo 1) 00 l ) ' E 3 o oo £ u ■- o 1) 0) £ CD C O -4= 00 O 1) 1) O CD i 1) U O c 1) 0) _Q _ 00 o D X -C o 00 c o E Q “O o 35 LEARNING IN THE CLASSROOM AND ON THE JOB WAS THE GOAL OF DISTRIBUTIVE EDUCATION STUDENTS What better means of learning about the operation of a business than by working with a local merchant?

In today’s hard pressed economy with jobs more dif¬ ficult to find, work-study became more popular due to the practical work experience it offered. The purpose of the program, which is directed by Mr. Rockwood Edwards, is not to give students an opportunity to earn money but rather for them to obtain a high school dip¬ loma. Participants received credits for their work at bus¬ iness in the Wellesley area, but were also required to meet one class period a week with the Work-Study Coordinator who provided work-related information and counseling.

STUDENTS IN ALTERNATE SEMESTER SPENT SECOND HALF OF SENIOR YEAR WORKING WAYNE HADLOCK, Program Director The Alternate Semester program allowed students to spend half of the senior year in an educational and employment program far different from the courses at the high school, such as working at a hospital or ele¬ mentary school. Directed by Mr. Hadlock, the program began in the fall with planning sessions about where and when each student would work — the actual work¬ ing period started in January and lasted for fifteen weeks, at the end of which students met again to evalu¬ ate the program and discussed the ways it helped them to understand others. Education incorporates the development of man’s thought process as well as his creativity. The empha¬ sis I have given to music has given me an outlet to my creativity and therefore my education.” (Dave Samour) Working with Kindergartners at Phillips School has been as much a learning experience for me as it has been for them. (Janet McCartney) INDEPENDENT STUDY OFFERED STUDENTS THE OPPORTUNITY FOR ACADEMIC EXPERIENCES OUTSIDE WELLESLEY SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL Assisting in a heart research laboratory at Mass. General Hospital has been a most rewarding experience and has given me an inside view of the many aspects of medicine.” (Enora Kunica) The Independent Study program guided by Mr. George Kerivan Jr. provided students with an opportunity to branch out from the traditional academic courses offered at Wellesley High School. The diversity of the program allowed students to earn academic credit in any field desired, subject to school approval. Mr. Kerivan said, the greatest ben¬ efit of the program is that students are offered a unique experience which not only enhances their academic ability, but also results in a maturing process the student does not normally experience. I am preparing a chemical for my environmental chem¬ istry project that involved testing surrounding water¬ ways.” (Lisette Hawkens) CAREER EXPERIMENT BEGAN AT WELLESLEY HIGH SCHOOL WITH A STATE GRANT OF $67,500 Career Education was a new program this year offered to Juniors and Seniors. The course introduced students to various careers, giving some the chance for job diadowing” — field work consisting of several hours a week of on-site job training supervised by a tradesman or other specialist. Job counselors, themselves active practitioners of the career specialty, supervised small groups of students in each of 11 fields. The Careers in Depth project, a model pro¬ gram, was the brainchild of work-study coor¬ dinator Rockwood Edwards and project direc¬ tor Ms. Pat Leonard. One stereotype that Ms. Ijconard worked to overcome was the false assumption that career education was designed for non-col¬ lege-bound students only. I want to see all students have an opportunity to explore vari¬ ous careers,” she “stated.

Whether they gave us an opportunity to oppose the faculty in a basketball contest, display our dramatic talents on the stage, or participate in an Kxchange concert, the events were special scenes of entertainment and involvement. They gave us a chance to display unu¬ sual talents, or watch our friends show theirs; they were fleeting moments of glory and fame in the life of Wellesley High School in 1976. Jay horses around.

The instrumental accompaniment was adequately supplied by the smooth Wellesley High Orchestra. When the final curtain came down, spectators agreed that the union of the two departments had been a suc¬ cess; Music Man” had set an entertainment standard which would be hard to follow in coming years. As always, the Wellesley High audiences were particularly enthralled to see their character actors up on the stage, includ¬ ing Bruce The Mouth” Carmen, Heather Ye Gods” Ross, Erin Stimmel, P eter ' Tm Funnier Than You Are” Brodell and Peter No I’m Funnier Than You Are” Bergstrom.

The traditional events, tableau, co-ed vaulting, triple balance and the pyramids, were especially excit¬ ing because of their difficulty and outstanding execution by performers. Many new events were added this year; the Hoop dance. Flag corps and double acrobatics added creativity and originality. The enthusiasm of the gymnasts, the stage crew, and the physical education staff resulted in a superb dem¬ onstration of gymnastic talent.

The superior scoring of Mac The Knife” Mcdermott and Mr. Jumping” Jim Sullivan once more gave the faculty the needed edge. On the student side, credit should be given to Steve Furtado for his shooting and rebounding. Sugar Bear” Furtado scored ten points. Despite the poor showing by the students, the game was enjoyed by more than four hundred students and non-participating faculty and administration.

HUSTLIN ' AND BUMPIN’ THE NIGHT AWAY In a return to the 19 0’s, bobby sox and greased-hair became all the rage for one November evening as the costumed, capacity crowd danced to the discs spun by Bud Ballou at a successful Senior class sponsored dance. Undoubtedly, this dance was the most well attended of all dances held during the academic year. Rumor had it that Vase¬ line was in short supply throughout the town. The Gridiron Club organized a dance for the entire student body featuring the Surf Nantasket band, Horse.” Horse” had made its original dance debut at the High School the previous year and was well received again as the students bumped” and hustled” the night away. Raven” provided the music for the Sophomore class dance. The Junior class produced a double-bill Spring dance featuring Thundertrain” and Slash.” Other dances were also held such as the Nostal¬ gia night presented through the courtesy of our own WHS Stage Band.

Emcees Gemma Perdoni and Bob Burr combined their wit and enthusiasm to announce each of the special acts performed by talented members of both the student body and faculty. Effie the Toast Lady was the star of the show, and other humorous skits, guitar performances and band entertainment by Avalanche” and Dragon Mede” gathered much praise. And of course, the traditional Whistling Stomachs” made their hilarious appearance, delighting the full house in the auditorium for the annual Variety Show.

The purpose of this biennial event is to increase awareness of foreign languages and culture and to encourage student par¬ ticipation in life styles and activities of the countries involved: France, Spain and Ger¬ many. The French section operated both a res¬ taurant and outdoor cafe where Quiche Lorraine, Boeuf a la Bourgoigonne, and a wide variety of crepes were served at prices averaging about 25 cents. All foods were prepared by students. Similar ventures were operated by the Spanish, Latin and German sections, where there were tacos, enchiladas, caesar salads, pizza and German pastries. The beer offered by the German bistro created a small sensation until all were assured it was non-alcoholic. Other features were an international theater with live performances of the can¬ can, a video-taped soap opera in French and a multi-media production of the life of Salvador Dali. A Flea Market was jointly operated by French and panish students, a photo studio was run by Ger¬ man students; there was a French game room and Raymond Caefer, Department Head, operated a lottery. Preparations for the activities were made almost entirely on outside time, by students and staff. Most of the vast assort¬ ment of decorations, food and articles for the Flea Market were student donated. Lottery prizes were contributed entirely by local businesses and solicited by Raymond Caefer. Co-ordinators for the event were Peter Haggerty in French and Dr. Michael Cave for Spanish. Student reaction to the Festival was overwhelmingly favorable. Many com¬ mented that this was one of the few occa¬ sions when it was possible to enjoy an aca¬ demic experience with their friends, and at the same time contribute in a concrete way to the Festival. Many students asked that it be made an annual event. Successful financially, as well as socially, the Festival took in the record figure of 1 1,000 and yielded in the area of $600 net profit after expenses had been paid. The proceeds will be used to send a Welle ley High School student abroad to study foreign languages. This profit,” it should be noted, is in fact derived from the many contributions of time, labor and goods made by both students and staff of Wellesley High School’s Foreign Lan¬ guage Department.

When F” period dragged to a close at 2:00 p.m., the student raced to his locker, pre¬ pared to race home, and then realized chat he still had the entire afternoon before him! A number of options presented themselves: he could play sports, go home and face the drudgery of homework, or join the crowd at Sunshine Dairy. More often than not, a fourth option was the student’s final choice: he would head for a meeting after school of one of the myriad of school clubs, organiza¬ tions or activities. Excited by the involvement of activities, many students went home later than they had planned. 60 The Squaws cheek out the other team. Ginny Bagley and Brian Donahue sit at A.F.S. table.

Representative. 62 Mr. Kerivan ( Student Gov’t Advisor) and Brenda Callahan. BKl.OW: Mrs. Higgins, Mr. Higgins, and Mrs. Garland discussed addition referendum. Student Government members attended school committee meetings. As the national scene heated up with the excitement of presi¬ dential politics, the students of W.H.S. had various opportunities to become politically active within the narrow focus of school and community problems. The Student Government, directed by Executive Officers Brian Zimbler and Karin Case, concentrated a large part of its efforts on informing townspeople of the need for an addition to the high school prior to the referendum vote of December 15, 1975. For many, it was a first contact with precinct politics. Also working to promote acceptance of the addition were members of the Student Advisory to the School Committee, Julie Martel, Dena Rodis, Bruce Baker, and Liz Grover. Attending School Committee meetings, they were instrumental in encourag¬ ing the creation of a girl’s J.V. and Varsity soccer team. Yet another body which became involved in politics was the P.T.S.A., a parents organization chaired by Mr. and Mrs. Phillip Tardanico. They also lobbied for the addition proposal and dis¬ cussed issues of the school and student welfare. Finally, F.A.P.S., led by student Dena Rodis, dealt with attend¬ ance policies and of a broadening of involvement with the Human Relations Service in meetings among students, faculty, parents, and administrators. Dena Rodis — president of FAPS. 63 ALL MEDIA REPRESENTATIVES STROVE TO IMPROVE COMMUNICATION And today ' s news notes from around the world and at home are . and thus B.Z.’s melodious voice ended the daily announcements from radio station WSHS. This format of daily news reflected the efforts of student- ! involved in the school ' s media to enhance their coverage, develop more meaningful commu¬ nication and increase student interest in all school wide programs and activities. While the radio station became a means for the students to write, produce and direct their own hour-long shows transmitted to the cafeteria during the day, the school newspaper, THE BRADFORD, increased its coverage to focus on key issues in the community. Reporters wrote in-depth stories and extensive inter¬ views on such topics as the high school building addition, accreditation and stu¬ dent personalities. Recruiting a larger staff than ever. Advisor Jack Rutledge taught a course in journalism for the first time. The rather elitist reputation of the FINE ARTS MAGAZINE disappeared when Mrs. Pat Rosenfield (a poet in her professional life, having published three volumes) involved many more students on the editorial staff. Consequently, the magazine attracted a wider range of readers, because of the increased variety in styles of writing. This has been an utterly disastrous day’ (Maureen Staley co-editor of the FINE ART MAGAZINE.) Jane and I eslie were delighted with the BRADFORD’S success. 64 I f Mrs. Rosenfield, Wellesley High’s own published poet, was new advisor to the FI Nil ' ARTS M AGAZIKK. Bruce Baker read the Morning Announcements. 65 YEARBOOK STAFF CAPTURED 1976 ON PAPER Late nights filled with Tab, pretzels, photo croppers, scraggly copy and bleary- eyed staff members . . these were the typical settings as the hours to each deadline dwindled and the 1976 Wellesleyan staff raced to finish another set of pages. As the work was completed in the early-morning hours, staff members sighed contentedly, proofread their work one final time and headed off to bed. In this way the 1976 Wel¬ lesleyan slowly became a reality. The staff and advisor, Janice Barrett, put a lot of effort into devising new themes and ideas for the book. Some of these ideas were garnered from a fall trip to the Columbia Yearbook conference in New York. Others were the product of hours of brainstorming, pondering and guesswork.

CHORAL GROUPS SANG THEIR HEARTS OUT A Cappella Choir, Madrigal Singers, Lyr¬ ics, Girl’s Glee Club, Boy’s Group, and The Swing Choir combined to make the wide range of choir groups at the High School. Under the direction of Mr. Donald Sulli¬ van, the A Cappella Choir upheld its fine tra¬ dition of choral excellence this year. For the first time in many years, the choir added the works of Pinkham and Randolph Thompson to their large repertoire. Another relatively select group at the High School was the Lyrics. These ten girls per¬ formed popular selections, including In the Mood’’ and Smile Darnya Smile.’’ Both the Girls Glee Club and the Mixed Glee Club sang a mixture of popular and sec¬ ular music. Always ready to move in new directions, the Choral Department introduced a new group this year. The Swing Choir, compiled of members from the Lyrics and the Boys Choir, has carved out a permanent position among the numerous choral activities. Special performances this year included the Fall Concert, and the Exchange Concert. They sang ’till they could sing no more. The Madrigal Choir sang at National Honor Society Induction.

The Stage Band participated in the Southeastern Jazz Festival and the talented members worked on developing the repertoire. Stage Band performed for a series of elementary school assemblies at Brown, Bates and Schofield schools. They also provided music for the annual Variety Show and were the sole musicians for the popular Nostalgia Night Dance. The Symphonic Wind Ensemble participated in concerts, play¬ ing both classical and popular music. The Concert Band performed in traditional concerts presented by the music department. Members of this band participated in assemblies, Southeastern District, the Arts Festival, and the Gym Show. This year musical efforts culminated in an Exchange Pro¬ gram with Churchville, New York.

The tournament drew teams from all over the state to debate, Resolved: That scarce world resources be allocated by an international organi¬ zation. The winning Wellesley team consisted of Stuart Sproule and Kathy Moynihan, who debated the affirmative side; and Melisia Hauss- man and Audrey Morris, who took the negative side. Other Wellesley debators were Jeff Baker, Gordon King-ley, Nlina Ciccarello and Nimon Ward. Debating for the Varsity team were Dave Patterson, Shari Zimble, Kerry Joyce and Edward Hasbrouck. Varsity man Bob Connor served as Novice Division judge in the tournament. Edward Hasbrouck and Melissa Haussman are congratulated after a meet. Oh really?” said Jeff Baker during a debate. Members of the Debate Team set up trophies that were presented at the Debate Tournament held at the High School. 74 FILM SOCIETY’S FOURTH SEASON WAS A BIG SUCCESS Mr. Rutledge did his thing as advisor to the Film Club. The Film Society’ - fourth season proved to have the most ambitious schedule ever offered. Included were ten all-American comedy features which explored the development of American screen humor. The exploration started with the 1927 com¬ edy, The General” and finished with Mel Brooks’ award-winning The Producers.” Also included were pictures starring Woody Allen, the Marx Brothers, Jack Benny, Gary Cooper, Cary Grant, Zero Mostel and Gene Wilder. Perhaps the greatest crowd getter was the supposedly serious anti-marijuana film Reefer-Madness” which so mis-stated its case that it has come to be one of the most humorous examples of propaganda. It was the first year that the club operated with¬ out subsidy. Students paid for all expenses without help from any outside organization. Between 40 and 60 people enjoyed the film clubs’ offerings making this year’s season a successful one. N.H.S. HAD GOOD YEAR This year, as in the past, the National Honor Society specifically rewarded certain chosen Jun¬ iors and Seniors for their outstanding achieve¬ ments and contributions to the school and stu¬ dent body. The members were selected from an abundance of impressive candidates for special recognition. There are four qualities which every member must possess; they are character, leader¬ ship, service, and scholarship. President Bill Rogers, vice-president Joe Healy, secretary Mark Mooradian, and treasurer Debby Dean all attended the Regional National Honor Society Convention at Danvers High School. One phase of N.H.S. which is well known is its tutoring program. Under Joe Healy and Mr. Ronald Tiberio, the program assisted approxi¬ mately 40 students in their problem areas of studies. Almost all members gave up their free school time to assist these students. The mem¬ bers also served as ushers at various sc hool events including graduation. Bill Rogers and Joe Healy shared a solemn moment at the induc¬ tion ceremony. B ■ J. m i t£? p Ml] r ■ _ The National Honor Society — 1976 75 THREE LANGUAGE CLUBS GAIN POPULARITY Three clubs which attracted a lot of stu¬ dents were the language clubs: Junior Classical League, LI Club Fspanol, and the French Club. FI Club Fspanol met bi-monthly and provided an opportunity for students to participate in activities that increased their awarene of and contact whth the Span¬ ish-speaking world. This year FI Club Fspanol enjoyed dinner at a Spanish res¬ taurant, For Favor, and a Mexican restau¬ rant, Casa Romero. For a week in Nov., the Spanish Club was host to a group of Latin American exchange students study¬ ing at Northfield. One of the most ambi¬ tious undertakings, of the Spanish Club during the year was a collection drive (of canned food and clothing) for the victims of the Guatemalan earthquake. The Junior Classical League, in foster¬ ing the spirit of the classical Greek and Roman worldp, enjoyed a full year of cul¬ tural and recreational pursuits. Initiation of new members, induction at the Roman Saturnalia, and the participation in the J.C.L. State Convention were among the traditional activities. Volleyball contests with A.F.S. and the Spanish Club, ai well as basketball and softball games stimu¬ lated competitive spirits. The French Club expanded knowledge of the French culture by getting involved in many outside activities. They helped sponsor the presentation in Wellesley of the Tretian De Paris, a professional French theater troupe which tours the United States presenting plays for stu¬ dents. They also held many parties in order to experiment with the famous French cuisine. A trip to the city of Que¬ bec rounded out the year. These three club- gave students who enjoy foreign languages a chance to put them to use outside the classroom and gain more knowledge about different countries and the customs and lifestyles of their people.

Assisted by a new advisor, Mr. John Frick, the officers of the drama club (Scott Ward, president, David Bates, vice president, Lisette Hawkins, secretary, and Robert Donahue, treasurer) planned activities for over 50 members. Their first presentation to the students and faculty wa The Matchmaker. This Thor¬ ton Wilder production was performed on both Friday and Saturday nights to large audi¬ ences. The Drama Club also attended the Massa¬ chusetts Regional Drama Festival and co¬ sponsored the spring production of The Music Man with the Music Department. Chaining many new members and purchasing more equipment allowed the 1975-76 WHS Out¬ ing Club the opportunity to undertake new adventures. Even with an ailing knee, the advisor to the club, Ckorge Kerivan, Jr., successfully led students on a 35 mile bike trip to Harvard, Mass., several Fall canoeing trips, winter camping excursions in weather reaching —30 degrees, cross country skiing outings, and on hiking trips. The club also planned an outing to Mount Katadin in Maine. Because the proper equipment is essential to excursions of this nature, fund-raising activities were necessary to supply the club with its own equipment, so that people who had never been exposed to these activities would not be excluded because of lack of the necessary materials.

Visiting Wellesley High from Rennes, France was A.F.S. student Christine-Marie Bourdin. Sheila Morua from Costa Rica also spent her year at Wellesley High. Leslie Davies and Bob Parry were our representatives to Germany and Australia respectively during the summer of 1975. Among the activities planned for the club by Joanne Page, president, Brian Donahue, vice president, Laura Visco, secretary, and Mrs. Juliette Avots, advisor were the annual Sud-Cinema Day, the J.C.L.-A.F.S. Vol¬ leyball Tournament and a carwash, bakesale and garage sale. A.F.S. also participated in two five day exchange trip-s; one with North Brunswick, New Jersey and one with Burlington, Vermont.

Clubbers entertained the stomachs of Red Raider foot¬ ball fans with their infamous hot dogs, raised fund for charity and sponsored the Books for Crooks” program, in which they collected books for inmates at Walpole State Prison. The project was s o stimulating that many Clubbers remained at the prison for several weeks after dropping off the books. And of course. Key Clubbers continued their tutor¬ ing program for Dana Hall girls, in which they gave lessons on a variety of subjects to fill those cold lonely nights on Grove St. Joe Proud, Jay Corcoran and Jeff Burns at Key 1 lub meeting.

TrtMli In the last three years, approximately 300 students in the class of 1976 have participated in the athletic program available at Wellesley Senior High. Including b«th boys and girls, contact and noncontact sports, there have been 15 first place teams, eight second place teams and 10 third place teams. Not only were these particular groups out¬ standing in their individual league standings, but some also continued in tournament play after the end of the season. During our sophomore year, several squads achieved honorable awards in state competition. Among these were the cross country team which finished third in its division in Eastern Massachusetts and eighth in the BELOW: Andy Ellis BELOW. Linda Perani state, the soccer team which reached the state quarterfinali before being elimi¬ nated by state champs Lincoln Sudbury, the girls swimming team which fin¬ ished second in both the Eastern Mass, and State Championships, the boys swimming team which placed third in the Conference Meet and competed in the Eastern Mass., State, and New Eng¬ land Championship Meets, the girls basketball team which made it to the quarterfinals of the Eastern Mass. Bas¬ ketball Tournament anil the spring track team which took fourth place in the Commonwealth. Similarly in our junior year, out¬ standing athletic talent continued to express itself in more first place teams. A special squad consisting of 18 girls went all the way to capture the state title in field hockey with a 2-0 victory at the championship game. Repeating its previous {performance, the soccer team reached the State Quarterfinals. The boys swimming team finished eighth in Easterns, 14th in States, and 16th in the New Englands. The wrestlers came into their own placing fifth in the sectional tournament and 10th in the state. Another very unexpected yet very much deserved award was given to Wellesley High at the end of this year. The Bay State League honored our female ath¬ letes by awarding the school its All Girls Sports Trophy. This signified that after compiling the point values of each team’s final standing. Wellesley had the most And this past year, after having gained valuable experience from previ¬ ous years, athletes exhibited their talent by exceeding all expectations. In the fall, the field hockey team led by high scorer and co-captain Janet McHugh, competed in the Division I Quarterfi¬ nals of the State Tournament. Eor its third year in a row, the soccer team fought its way to the second round of the State Tournament. Co-captain Bill Goodman and senior John Sisk, who both possessed excellent skills, were named to the Bay.State League All Star Squad. Iking a brand new team without experience did not hinder the girls vol¬ leyball team which lasted for several rounds in the Vate Tournament. With her individual talent, swimming co-cap¬ tain Sue Sullivan broke the 500 yard freestyle record. Winter sports, too, had their tourna¬ ment contenders and record breakers. The girls basketball team, led by All Star co-captains Cindy Boiardi and Sue Sullivan, entered the State Tourney. The boys swimming team including record breaking co-captain George Wood, who placed second in the East¬ erns, warn to a strong fourth place in the Conference meet. A team which finally received the recognition and admiration it deserved was the wres¬ tlers. Co-captained by Kim Marden and Ron Goguen, they sent several mem¬ bers to the State Tournament. Marden proved to all his outstanding strength and skill by finishing the competition as State Champ in his weight class. The past three years of competition in sports have left an unchangeable impression on those who participated. Valuable experience was gai ned by learning to cooperate with others toward achieving a common goal.

Jane Mee¬ han and Lisa Cleverdon constantly fired the ball at the goal, providing the offensive threat necessary to win. The line improved during the season and outscored the other team, being held to 0 only once. On the other end of the field seniors Cindy Boiardi, Jane Carpenter, and Cindy Bedrosian consistently stopped their attackers giving goalie Wendy Brown a wall of protec¬ tion. Sometimes, though, when a lonely attacker broke through on a breakaway, Wendy immediately charged the shooter, leaving her absolutely no angle. The defense was an integral part of the scoring since almost every point was made on a play origi¬ nating from a successful tackle. Under the excellent leadership of coach Chris Burns, the Raiders entered the States. A broken down bus forced the starting line of the eleven girl team to pile into Mr. Hines’ car in order to arrive at their second states game on time, which they clinched 4-0. Bun¬ dled in hats and mittens, the Raiders com¬ pleted their season on a chilly Saturday night in the Division 1 Quarterfinals with a tough 3-2 defeat. BELOW: Ciivc me a break!

The team posted a 12-3-3 record, good enough for third place in the Bay State League and a berth in the State Tournament. Led by Coach Phil Davis and his assistant Rick Copland, the footmen were one of the top contenders in Eastern Massa¬ chusetts. Perhaps the reason for the team’s success could be contributed to the all around balance of the team. John Sisk and Bill Goodman were named Bay State League All-Star-., while six others received Honorable Mention recog¬ nition. The offense was overpowering, outs- coring its opponents 3 to 1. Bill McEnroe led the team with nine goals followed by Bob Bachman with six and Larry Stone and Rick Peters with five each. Dave Turgeon chipped in with many valuable assists. The defense was awesome this year, as the average height of the fullbacks was well over six feet. Co-captains Bill Goodman and Ham Workman had an excellent year, as did start¬ ers Bob Buzzell and Andy Ellis. Goalies Steve Fay and Mark O’Leary played remarkably well as they combined for ten shutouts while allowing only 13 goals. The halfback posi¬ tions were filled adequately by seniors Davis Clark, John Sisk and Steve Palmer. Juniors Mark Gherardi and Rob Borden did an excel¬ lent job facing their first year of Varsity com¬ petition. Unfortunately the Raiders bowed out in the second round of the State Tournament. After beating Brockton 4-3 on penalty kicks the squad fell victim to perennial power New Bedford, 3-2. This was a disappointing defeat, but the team was pleased with its over-all fine efforts. 95 GIRLS SWIMMING FINISHED IN THIRD PLACE Wellesley. .82 Framingham South . . .90 Wellesley. ..129 Dedham . . .42 Wellesley. • 93 Framingham North. . ....79 Wellesley .. .87 Needham .83 Wellesley. . .40 Natick . . . .41 Wellesley.... . -97 Norwood . 73 ABOVE: Lying down on the job again, Kim ?

(.Janet Piro) With only two to three hours a week of pool time, no one could have done much better than the Waterbabies’ 5-3 record last fall. Lack of a coach forced the team to start its season later than usual. However, once this void was filled by the new coach, Ed Touhey, co¬ captains Sue and Sally Sullivan led them to a winning season. Success was due to a fine team effort, including school record break¬ ers Sue Sullivan in the 500-yard freestyle, and Janet Piro in diving. Darcy Fernald, Julie Allen and Nancy and Sue Turgeon also turned in good performances for the Waterbabies.

Attacking the net with strong spikes, Sue Flaherty greatly increased the score. Margo Filley consistently served well from behind the line, which kept the squad aggressive. Good sets and bumps by Barb Swift and Martha Gilbertson enabled other members to spike it over the net.

Despite the results, the team had potential and turned out some excellent individual performances. Leading the top seven varsity runners was sophomore Shawn Whelan, who took first places most of the time and performed well against the league’s top runners. Close behind was another sophomore, Paul Murray, who by the season’s end had developed into a sec¬ ond strong Wellesley competitor. Both soph¬ omores broke the previous sophomore record for running on the Wellesley course. Adding strength in the 2.6 mile trek each meet were seniors Brian Zimbler, co-captain Mike Edelstein, and Ken Schroeder, junior Kirk Dogett and sophomore Ed Mitchell. Although somewhat disappointed with the team’s record, Coach Will St. Cyr was extremely proud of their dedication and hard work, during practices and competition. He expects that with experienced runners like Whelan and Murray returning next year, things should be looking up in the future. FOOTBALL TEAM SUFFERED POOR SEASON Second year head coach, John McDermott’s Red Raider Football Team suf¬ fered a frustrating and winless season in one of the state’s toughest leagues. Despite opening the season with a disor¬ ganized loss to Xaverian Brothers, the Raid¬ ers improved steadily as the fall progressed. The team was outscored by all opponents, but never lost their competitive spirit. Even in the final minutes of the Needham contest, in which they were edged 27-0, the Raiders con¬ tinued to display their give it all you’ve got” attitude before a huge Thanksgiving Day crowd. Outstanding efforts were apparent throughout the season. Co-captain Jim McDermott consistently gained yardage as he penetrated opposing defenses, and co-captain Ricky Lowe was consistently effective on offense and defense. Tackle Mark McGoldrick showed tremendous determina¬ tion and stamina in leading the tough Welles¬ ley defense, and tackle Chris Lee was also instrumental in bringing down the opposi¬ tion. Other outstanding defenders included Frank Cosolito, making a comeback from injury, Richie Sullivan, Mark Lederhos, Jack Pilecki and Ron Gogucn. Perhaps the greatest spirit and drive exhibited on the field was consistently that of M.V.P. Player of the Year.” Joe Zeppie” Resmini. The team faces some excellent prospects for next year in the persons of junior Sullivan and sophomores Lederhos and Pilecki. BELOW: Now what do I do?

The cheerleaders and twirlers were seen at many of the school’s activities including football, soccer, track, basketball, and rallies. Led by senior co-captains Karen Brady and Dawn Moorefield, the spirited squad of cheerleaders performed before the crowds at games. Much time ws spent by the girls in practicing and perfecting their moves. The twirlers, led by captain Kathi Finn, also devoted time and energy to coordinating their act. The two groups also worked hard to prepare for individual competitions held early in the year. 103 1.2 “C - Q 2 iS thi ml i pil nn I.ISI i S, H i4-S U vi W 11 - iii| S J uiii Front row. left to right: Barb Swift, Ellen Zaglakis, Ellen lshkanian, Jane Byington, Jill Wroblewski, Jean Garnty, Patty Front row, left to right: Coach St. Cyr, Ken Schroder, Joe Healy, Eric Holstein, Mike hdclstein, foe Proud, Brian ambler, Hickey.

Under the talented leadership of Coach Josephine Devencenzi and senior co¬ captains Cindy Boiardi and Sue Sullivan, the team started the year with a series of strong wins. Highlights of the season were an unex¬ pected 24-31 loss to Norwood, a tough 30-31 defeat by Needham, a strong come-from- behind win over Walpole and the final game. The battle for the first place came down to the last game of the season between Welles¬ ley and its arch rival, Needham. Having lost a heartbreaker to Needham earlier in the sea¬ son, the Raiders were determined to destroy their opponent and claim the BSL champion¬ ship. Chef Boiardi led her teammates to a thrilling 47-27 romp which clinched the title and exhibited the skill and talent of each Wellesley team member. Sue Sullivan, who broke the all-time WHS high scoring record with 460 points, seemed to peak in the second half. Ironically Wellesley and Needham were chosen to play each other in the first game of the State Tournament. This time Needham came out on top, but Wellesley had given them a tough battle. The Red Raiders success can be attributed to a total team effort. Julie Allen provided an offensive threat on the boards while Ellen McGahon, at point position, became a team leader. Each and every player gave as much of herself to every victory as the other eleven did, whether it was scoring the point, setting up the play, or cheering from the bench. According to Coach D,” the key to the first place title was ' ' patience and a tenacious defense.” ABOVE: Sue Sullivan, on her way to becoming Wellesley High ' s all-time High Scorer.

Despite this setback the team featured some fine individual perform¬ ances. Junior Larry Stone was effective at both ends of the court as he earned All League All Star Honors. He was strong on the boards and often caused the opposing team many problems. Playing at guard posi¬ tion, Mark Miklavic scored well over twenty points in several games. Mark was the crowd pleaser, dribbling between his legs and mak¬ ing fools of his aggressors. On days when he was hot, Steve Fay provided a great offensive threat with his deadly outside shot. Unfortunately, many of the games were decided by a few points made on unexpected plays in the final seconds. Captain Ricky Lowe truly led his team with an outstanding attitude. Both Larry Smart and Bob Lovett improved during the year and were very potent the last half of the season. Sopho¬ mores Kevin Roach and Mike Tavis saw lim¬ ited action but gained valuable experience for the future. Next year Mark Miklavic and Larry Stone will co-captain an extremely talented and well-rounded squad. All the returning mem¬ bers possess great individual skills. Coach Marinaro anticipates working with his varsity veterans toward a more fruitful season. BELOW: Bob Lovett dribbling! (Not shooting??)

Ill SWIM TEAM SPLASHED TO VICTORY Although hampered by the lack of its own pool to practice in, the Wellesley Boys Swim Team, coached by Mr. Edward Touhey and co-captained by George Wood and Mark Davidson, swam its way to the Bay State League Championship. The team remained undefeated in the Bay State League, finishing the season with an overall record of 7-4-1. Of the competitors in the league, Welles¬ ley’s toughest opponents proved to be the two Framingham teams. Early in the season, the Red Raider team (weakened by illness) could manage nothing better than a tie against Framingham North. At the end of the season, the Raiders faced another undefeated team, Framingham South, in what was the most exciting meet of the entire season. As the meet progressed, it became apparent that the outcome would be decided in the last event, the 400 yard relay. As the teams lined up in front of a standing room only crowd, Wellesley was down by five points but took first and second place, winning the meet and clinching the league title. Seniors George Wood and Mark Davidson and sophomore John Kruse all took first place awards as well as the relay team, consist¬ ing of George Wood, Jeff Donahue, Peter Howard Johnson, and Kirk Dogget. Others who made solid contributions to the team were senior Jay Corcoran and juniors Tom Mahoney and Jim Skully. Two team records were broken: the diving mark was surpassed by co-captain George Wood and the 200 yard individual medley record was broken by John Kruse. In post season competition Wellesley placed fourth in the conference, and in the state meet George Wood placed second with his record-breaking score. Although much of the success was due to the swimmers, credit should also be given to Coach Ed Touhey whose experience and dedication benefited the team throughout the season.

This 6-4-0 final record did not nearly express the closeness of the meets. The girls lost two meets by only tenths of a point where the normal score was in the 70’s and 80’s. Extremely rough judging and a new higher qualifying score both contributed in making this season more challenging and more competitive than in recent year. Coach Susan Drevitch and assistant coach Steve Fagan worked long hours with individual girls creating original routines by combining singular moves in a smooth and flowing fash¬ ion. High scoring senior co-captains Becca Reg¬ gio, who qualified for the State Tournament, and Sally Sullivan along with seniors Cindy Bedrosian and Sue Cathcart combined their Varsity experience and ability to perform dif¬ ficult and imaginative routines. These were made up by the girls who had to include leaps, poses, dance, and acrobatic skills. Soph¬ omore Karen Cahill, who also qualified for States, added depth and skill to the well bal¬ anced squad.

BOY GYMNASTS SURVIVED A DISAPPOINTING SEASON The boys ' gymnastic team came alive dur¬ ing the annual gym show, exhibiting the superb skills and coordination through per¬ sonalized routine . Each gymnast, having cre¬ ated his own routine, showed strength and stamina throughout the performance. Per¬ haps the show’s success helped ea=e the disap¬ pointment of the unsuccessful season. Unfor¬ tunately, the team had a difficult year and just couldn’t manage to outscore the opponent. Even though it was hard to face the defeats, coach Paul Neal always received excellent efforts from every member of the team yet they suffered through a win less season. Even the unique talents of co-captains Jim Sheehan and John McDevitt were not enough to pull the team up. Jim excelled in vaulting and floor exerciser, which he performed with great skill, while John’s specialty was the still ringi. Holding the tense pose for three sec¬ onds took enormous physical strength. Greg Thompson, Reggie Beach, and Ron Burns were all adept on the still rings. Todd Morri¬ son, who wa fc elected with Will Oteri co-cap¬ tain of next year’s team, provided the team’s all-around threat. A very diversified young man, Todd was well qualified to compete in many different events. Senior Mark Moora- dian and junior Will Oteri were superior on the side horse. A routine on this piece of equipment required moving from one end of the horse to the other. Further potential on the high and parallel bars was located in Cameron Porter and Kirk Pfister, respectively. Next year, the squad looks forward to improving its record and establishing itself as a top Bay State League contender.

With the return of nine varsity lettermen, the Raiders began their season by soundly defeating their first six opponents. Led by co-captains Ron Goguen and Kim BELOW: Ride ’em, cowboy’ Bob Burr Marden, the grapplers fought their way to the top position of an always strong Bay State League. The season continued to present thrilling meets to standing room only crowds. In the past, wrestling had not been a well- attended sport. However, once the Wellesley High fans wandered into the Boys’ Gym they couldn’t help but become involved in the meets. A disappointing but thrilling loss to Fram¬ ingham North pushed the Raiders back to the number two spot, which was still one pos¬ ition better than that of last year’s team. Perhaps the high point of the season came when Kim Marden captured the State Cham¬ pionship in his weight class. This is the sec¬ ond consecutive year that Wellesley wrestling has produced a champion — indeed an honor, not only to the individuals, but also to the coaches. Not enough could be said of coaches Donovan and Axlrod, as they displayed quali¬ ties distinctive of all great coaches. The 1976 Wrestlers were bound by a unity that was unmatched and admired by all. This was perhaps the secret of success, and it is cer¬ tainly safe to say that the wrestlers did, in all respects, attain success. ABOVE: Joe Resmini — the human pretzel.

ICE MEN WERE STOPPED COLD In a league as athletically strong in hockey as is the Bay State League, to survive as well as Wellesley did can only be labeled as an attribute. It was an extremely hard-fought season, and although statistics may not show the Raider skaters to be on top, it cannot be questioned that Wellesley was a devoted ath¬ letic team. The Red Raiders showed great desire and togetherness at the beginning of the season, but luck was not with the boys as their losing streak lengthened. The hockey players, led by tri-captains Jim McDermott, John Flerlage, and Doug Walker showed great individual talent on the ice, but they just couldn ' t coordinate their skills into the team plays so vital to any suc¬ cess story. Returning for another year of Varsity action, senior Allan Villa and junior Dana Matthews both scored many goals for the unglorified cause. It was a trying season for Coach Heller who had to deal with a lot of confusion and a small amount of ice time to practice in. Although the final league record was not exactly complimentary, each member knew of the time and work devoted to play¬ ing on the strenuous squad.

Outstanding performances could not be marred, however, by their poor record. Mike Flash” Brown earned many first places in the 300 yd. dash and entered the -tate finals. Sophomores Paul Murray and Shawn Whalen were outstanding in the one and two mile runs. Unfor¬ tunately, the team missed senior Brian Zimbler in the distance events due to a serious accident. Captains Mike Edelstein and Mike Natacchi- onni were consistent in their particular events. Peter Teschner continued his dominance in the shot put with many Herculean throws. Peter Mur¬ ray rounded out the sophomore tandem in the 600 and 1000 yd. runs. The relay team of Richie Sullivan, Mike Brown, Mike Natacchionni, and Paul Murray provided great excitement. The team hopes to greatly improve next year. ABOVE: Mike Brown pulls ahead again in the 300 yd. dash. RIGI IT Paul continues a family tradition (Paul Murray).

The combined ski team, coached by Mike Mastro and co-captains Sally Riley and Davis Clark, completed a winning season by placing sec¬ ond in the Bay State League. Despite the adverse weather conditions and the lack of snow, the team managed to fill its schedule with four alpine and two nordic meets. In the slalom event for girls, Sally Riley, Ali Riley, and Ellen McGoldrick all contributed to the outstanding 10-2-0 record, while in the boys competition, great effort was made by Davis Clark, Bruce Kelley, and Jeff Mearder although the 4-8-0 standing does not seem to show it. The last slalom culminated the entire season’s devotion with Wellesley taking three wins at 415 points beating Mew- ton North at 227, Newton South at 132, and Milton at 0. The cross country ski team, which raced at the Weston Ski Touring Center, wound up its season with an impressive 5-1-0 record. Both Ellen McGoldrick and Billy Clark continually performed with great skill and endurance.

While Jane on offense poured in goals. Sully defended goal, keeping many teams to one or two points. The team completed its sea¬ son in first place with a final record of 11-1-1. Wellesley upheld its notorious reputation as an excel¬ lent running and passing team with the strong stickwork of offensive standouts such as Anne Regan,Janet McHugh, Jane Carpenter, Sally Sullivan, Darcy Fcrnald, and Lisa Cleverdon. Wellesley’s shooting accuracy and placement kept the opposing goalies from covering the entire face of the goal. In the center of the field, where passing and running endurance are mandatory, defensive wings Cindy Boiardi and Karen Krech, both kept the other ream hustling. The Wellesley girls proved their talent in the scores of the games. In nine out of thirteen games they scored more than ten points against the other team. These scores were possible because of the quick cuts and accu¬ rate passes of all involved. According ro the coach, Mrs. Bums, It’s so nice to watch these girls play because you can see the play begin with the defense and watch it develop up the field and know it’s going to be a goal.” ABOVE: Jane Carpenter cutoff her defenseman while Janet McHugh and Ali Riley watch the play develop.

Knowing where to be at the right time came naturally to such senior aces as Ali Riley, Cindy Bedrosian, Kelley Keefe, Wendy Brown, and Betsy Brown. A sport which is just beginning to become popular on a wide scale, lacrosse has gained momentum over the past few years. Several new teams entered the league, and next year there should be an official Bay State League in Lacrosse. It was planned to have a state tournament this year although the schedule was never completed. There was, however, a high school all-star team to which each team was to elect up to four members. The Wellesley girls chose seniors Sue Sullivan, Anne Regan, Cindy Boiardi, and Karen Krech to represent them. ABOVE: Oh, that must’ve hurt!” — Betsy Brown and Sue Sullivan.

Seven of the nine starters returning from the previous year was an impor¬ tant factor in the team ' s 7-11 record. The season was marked by consistent pitching and a hitting attack which was varied but effective. Dan Donovan became a respected pitcher throughout the league and was Wellesley ' s best as he dazzled the opposition with a blaz¬ ing fastball. David Valetta also pitched well and was, without a doubt, a pleasant sur¬ prise, winning a number of games. Jeff Larocca was definitely the finest fielding first baseman in the league as he stop¬ ped many an errant throw. Tim Keefe was the only member of the squad named to the All Star Team. Tim came through with a number of clutch hits and fielding plays as well. Deano Furdon and Alan Villa played well on both offense and defense. Junior Richie Sullivan looked to be a fine leader in the future as he was an excellent lead off hitter for the entire year. The return of third year men Mark Miklavic and Dotig Yacek should be a key in next year ' s success. ABOVE: Danny, would you by any chance want your picture taken 5 ” — Danny Donovan.

SOFTBALL HAD BEST SEASON EVER JrV, %- - % V ABOVE: Patty Hickey batted double. ABOVE: Nancy Maloney pondered the team’s strategy. Led by captains Nancy Maloney and Bar¬ bara Swift, the girls softball team broke even this year with an 8-10 record. The team had some tough luck at the beginning of the year, losing a few heartbreakers by only one or two runs. Defensively, Wellesley played well, hold¬ ing many teams to only a few runs. Sue Clark at first base made numerous close plays, though she does not have great height. The quick reflexes of Ellen McCahon made her a ABOVE: Right over and knows it. natural for second base, cutting off many apparent ground hits. Shortstop Jane Keefe, only a sophomore, used her strong throwing arm to thwart many opponents. The battery of catcher Barb Swift and Dee Brady worked harmoniously all season. According to Coach DeVincenzi, Barb played hard and with a lot of intelligence. Dee Brady was the fastest pitcher in the league. She should be even tougher next year. Even if a softball team plays well defen¬ sively, it must score a lot of runs to win. Offensive punch was provided by Sue Clark, with a fantastic .449 batting average. Carol Picarello was the team’s slugger, leading the team in runs batted in. Wellesley also had some fleet outfielders who could cover the entire turf with ease. They were blessed with excellent throwing arms, cutting down runners on every base- path. Though they were sometimes jokingly accused of taking naps between plays, they were always ready to back up their infielders. The team’s success was obviously due to a team effort. ABOVE: I did it’ I did it!” — Zc Szctcla BOYS’ TENNIS ACED ITS SEASON 16-2 Shutting out their opponents ten times over the regular season, the boys ' tennis team volleyed their way to a 16-2 record. Only a tense 3-2 loss to champion Framingham North deprived them of first place. The North match was finally decided in a nine point tie-breaker. A meager few strokes were therefore the difference between first and second place. Billy Goodman, Mike Tavis and Dwight Garland were victorious for Wellesley in this crucial match. During the season co-captains Billy Good¬ man and Tom Murray played the number one and two singles positions. Both were Bay State League All-Stars and had records of 14-3 and 13-2, respectively. Kim Marden played the third singles position all year, enjoying a 12-3 record. Using uncanny agility and preci¬ sion placements, Kim often destroyed his opponents by scores like 6-0, 6-0. Juniors Larry Stone and Bruce Kelley were the team’s top doubles pair. Finalists in the state tournament last year, tone and Kelley breezed through a 14-3 season. The second doubles team (sophomores Tavis and Garland) was consistently brilliant. Blazing through the season 13-0, they often won crucial points in tight matches. The junior varsity was also 16-2 and fin¬ ished in second place.

WELLESLEY GIRLS’ TENNIS TEAM BROKE FIRST PLACE TRADITION BY FINISHING THIRD 136 The 1976 Girls Tennis Team finished the season in third place with an overall record of 14-4. In the final match against Needham, Marilyn McGreevy defeated Kris Everett 6-2, 6-4 to remain undefeated through three years of Bay State League play at first singles. The following week, Marilyn was named first singles on THE BOSTON GLOBE ' S All Scholastic All-Star Tennis Team. In the same match, Caroline O ' Connell, a sophomore and the most improved player on the team had her hard work pay off as her victory at third singles clinched the victory for the team. Next year ' s team will miss the leadership of the two senior captain- ., McGreevy and Sally Broderick. Sally pulled out many three-set victories during the year, her sweetest coming at the hands of Emily Wheeler from Needham. At the number three singles position competition on the team was healthy as Martha Gilbertson, Betsy Reynolds, and Caroline O ' Connell rotated throughout the year to strengthen the team’s record. Both doubles teams retained good records as Jill Martin and Maureen Duggan out-foxed many opponents and Ginny Gardner and Sue Thompson won most of their matches by getting to the net first, a key objective of any doubles team. Although the varsity is losing five starters, many positions are expected to be filled by a strong nucleus of sophomores. Coach Wayne Hadlock is looking for more top performances next year.

Under Coach Dan Kaughlin and Assistant Coach Jeff Dos- dall, Wellesley remained strong in its running events and found some power in the field events. Sophomore David Anderson ran the 100 yard dash this year faster than anyone in the league and tied the school record at 10.0 seconds. Co¬ captain Mike Brown blazed in his patented event, the 220, racking up considerable points for Wellesley. Brown also anchored the 4 X 110 relay team, which included Ova Fon- berg, Anderson and George Wood. (They were Bay State League champs and set a school record.) Depth in the running events came from other sources: Paul Sidelines” Murray and Co-captain Brian Zimbler in the Half Mile Run, Mike Edelstein and Emmet Seaborn in the Mile, Jim Sheehan and Jeff Slowman in the 440, Shawn Whalen, Kirk Degett and Ed Mitchell in the Two Mile, Bill McEnroe in the 330 yd. Low Hurdles. In the field events, George Wood was Bay State League champ in long jump and set a school record. Joe Bibbo brought in points in the high jump, and Jim Sheehan was consistently first in the pole vault. Peter Teshner, Bill Hayes, Lance Magnuson and John Humphries showed promise in their events also. It was a good season but a hard one for the trackies — but with talent returning next year, they should have an improved record.

GIRL TRACKIES RAN EVEN The Red Raiders Girls’ Track Team fin¬ ished their second season in the Bay State League with a 4-3 record. Coached by Don LaBorne and co-captained by Helen Johnson and Dena Rodis, the team was strong in both running and field events. Unfortunate injuries to Pat Hughes and Helen Johnson sidelined them early in the season and created a great loss to the team. Consistently winning first place for Wellesley were hurdler Beth Latessa and miler Enora Kunica. Claudia Thar, Karen Cahill, and Sharon Campion performed suc¬ cessfully in the 100 yard dash, as did Jan Fos¬ ter, Paula Levesque, and Doris Kunica in the 440. Amy Hurley and Dena Rodis earned many points in the 220 and Dotty Nicolo and Linda Perani did the same in the 880. In a new event this year, the two-mile run, Doris Kunica, Karen Johnson and Paula Levesque always placed exceptionally well.

Despite two early setbacks, the team finished with a respectable 5-4 record. The squad was led by senior captain Dave Turgeon who played well all year and tied for seventh in the state championships. Seniors Bob Bachman and Todd Gebron played consistently throughout the year, winning most of their matches. The team suffered a setback midway through the season with the loss of Debbie Hoffman, but junior Reggie Beach filled her spot surprisingly well. Next year’s squad should be strong with third year man Will Oteri and Junior Ed McHugh leading the way.

The sailing team, under the direction of first year coach Richard Bevilacqua, underwent a year of transition. For the first time Wellesley and three other schools formed the Greater Boston Sailing league. The institution of this league assured a series of meets on a continuing basis for the future. Although this was an enthusiastic team, it faced several obstacles, including a lack of b� ats and practice areas. The season was highlighted when the team travelled to Annapolis, Maryland, for a regatta with other schools on the Hap tern seaboard. This was a great learning experience, as the team lived at the Academy for a couple of days and was able to sail against teams from other states. On another occasion the squad travelled to the Coast Guard Academy. With the establishment of the Greater Boston Sailing League and the enthusiasm of a new coach, the sailing team future looks promising. 3 3 3 f £ H 8 3 £ oc cu g= er Jo £ c _r2 ra JC O _ ' Pi 2 2 fc A rfU a-=2 V -c 2 O U E a 3 C u s •1 2 c .2 4-i - n C oo 2 « CD 7l n « , “ 0 u — - c ■£ _c C L� is 2 x 00 c F 3 o 2 1 O n si“ ni O 4-i C I; C F .2 « E O 4-i 03 cO . — 5- rj 3 4-� C 2 i i w a U 2 S ' 4 — o , it I «gi.

Kennedy. Most of our formative” years were spent in Lyndon Johnson’s Great Society.” Social awareness and the Vietnam War enveloped national concern, but at that time, we were more interested in Batman” and half school days on Wednesdays. We were in the fourth grade when the Six Day War in the Middle East shook the world, as did the tragic assasinations of Martin Luther King and Robert F. Kennedy. At the tender age of nine, however, most of us were too preoccupied by the newly bestowed privilege of riding our bikes to school to grasp the significance of these events. In 1969, America won the space race as two astronauts walked on the moon’s sur¬ face. Some months later, the invasion of Cambodia by American troops produced Kent State and a divided nation. We were in the sixth grade; we took swimming lesson at the Babson Pool, wore our Safety Patrol Badges with intense pride and were, at last, the oldest students in the school; we were on top of the hill. Yet, just as we had risen to the top, we hit rock bottom once again when we entered the seventh grade. It was the beginning of six long years of fighting for a seat in the cafeteria, and when that seat was finally won, borrowing that forgotten lunch money once again. Only an alert student in Math 71 had, by this time, figured out that we were the class of 1976. Eighth grade saw us settle into the process of schedules and room changes. To become solid American citizens, the boys took woodwork¬ ing and the girls took homemaking. Our sports teams were known as the J.V.’s.” Do you remember Walter Cronkite’s And You Are There.” series ' The words clique, snob, conceited, and jock became an integral part of our vocabulary. It seemed that we were continually mak¬ ing new friends. The fall of 1972 saw Richard Nixon win by an overwhelming land¬ slide in the presidential election over George McGovern. In January of 1973, the Vietnam War finally ended for the United States. As a class, it seemed that we reached a pinnacle; ninth grade. We were the monitors, the gym leaders and the Varsity.” Who can forget the intense cam¬ paigns for Class and Student Council elections. Carnagie Units, credits and grades became a reality to us. For the third and final time, we pre¬ sented our discourses in the Obed Jordan Speech Contest. In English, we all read Shakespeare’s JULIUS CAESAR and math confronted us with a new sequence called Algebra.” The sex barrier was shattered when a girl took woodworking for the first time. Although it is seemed impossible to believe, the PHILIPPIAN presses stopped forever with the culmination of our Junior High years. Your experience at Wellesley High will allow intellectual, emo¬ tional and aesthetic as well as cultural growth.” So begins the Program of Studies booklet, and so began our high school career. In tenth grade, through school bus windows we observed gasoline lines stretched for hundreds of yards. Two young reporters from THE WASHINGTON F OST were continually uncovering” scandals in the Nixon Adminis¬ tration and people began to take notice. As scoffmores” we had, for the first time, more personal freedom as well as individual responsibil¬ ity in our school life. Who can possibly forget the great streak” or our first rally? Teachers were suddenly also friends and the distinctions among the three classes were less defined. We proudly boasted to those in the J. High” that we attended the Senior High” with no bells between classes and a mezzanine to sit on. Some of us even had the wheels.” In August of 1974, Nixon resigned and, somewhere in the past, we had lost Agnew, too. The nation was promised a Ford not a Lincoln.” The economy shook to a recession and a concern for social welfare legis¬ lation was replaced by a desire for a stable economy. As Juniors, we were the middle men who survived the battery of SAT’s and final exams and studied constantly through our most important academic year.” We were the leaders in tports and activities because fViphomores could not match our experience nor Seniors match our enthusiasm. Our Senior year was marked by the confusion and anticipation of the presidential primaries. Remember Harris, Shriver, Carter, Udall, Wal¬ lace, Jackson, Reagan, and Bayh ? We were the Bicentennial Graduating Class. September arrived sooner than we expected and it took us time to realize that we were the Seniors of Wellesley High and we had to act 150 RIGHT: GEMMA PERDOSlI, Secrcrary MRS. SUE PLATI, Advisor like Seniors. We watched in frustration as the proposed high school building addition was defeated in a town wide referendum. Concern over the school’s accreditation was only outdone by our concern about college. Just as the nation had to wait until November for the answer to our Presidential election. Seniors had to wait for April 15 for our college acceptances. Our Principal announced he was graduating with us because the School Committee promoted him to Assistant Superintend¬ ent of Schools. It seemed that during our Senior year, a remarkable number of barri¬ ers were broken. When we realized it was our last year together, we formed new and more personal relationships. In the end we realized that our psychological growth far outshadowed our physical growth. The diploma we received in June was more than an indicator of what we had just completed; it was the beginning of our futures. — Jeff Burns BOB BACHMAN.

During the year, a Senior walks 213 miles to classes and 6.1 miles up and down the stairs. A Senior spends an average of $117.00 on lunch and an average of $36.00 on breakfast a year. The Class of 1976 is 2743.36 feet tall, weighs 63,960 pounds and is 8,836 years old. And per¬ haps the most incredible fact of all, Seniors spent over 1260 hours in class!!’ Andy Fay. Charlie Cat heart and Rob Veidenheimer?? share a cafeteria joke. As September dawned on Wellesley High School, a new set of high spirited underclassmen prepared to meet the rigors and challenges of a secondary school education. The junior class, led by president Carol Birney, set the tone for the underclassmen with avid fundrabering pro¬ jects to alleviate the financial pressurei of “-enior year. A fall car wash, bake sale and well received Ugly Teacher Contest ' ’ (students judged their teachers ) kept the students busy. The sophomore class fell right into step behind the jun¬ iors with their own set of activities; a highly profitable candy sale, a dance, and a Red Class charity drive. As this Bicentennial Year drew to a close, the juniors began to wonder what senioritis feels like, and were even thinking about being the Class of 1977. Meanwhile, the sophomores can hardly wait for their chance to act the part of upperclassmen; they are enthusiastically awaiting the day when they will be able to sell Book Insurance and Ele¬ vator passes to the unsuspecting class of 1980.

For the last time, the Class of ’76 was together as they approached the end of twelve years of school and a month of hectic celebration — The Memorable Month of May.” They had joined with each other many times in the past few weeks: on Seagull Beach for Senior Skip Day, in the halls for hall jams, on the field for the class picnic and in the parking lot for parties on warm spring afternoons. They had enjoyed the tumultuous moments of the parade through town on May 25, 1976, Effie’s Raisin Toast Day, Squirtgun Day and Clash Day. And then it had been a week of frenzied freedom: late nights, the Banquet, the Prom and stay¬ ing up (still in formal wear) to greet the underclassmen as they came to school the next day. Now the end had come. The Class, of 76 heard their presi¬ dent, Jeff Burns, speak to them about the challenge of the future and the inherent dignity and possibilities of men; they heard their principal, Ted Rok- icki, congratulate them, wish them well and say goodbye for the last time. Suddenly, they had graduated; and in a whirl of red gowns, soft kisses and salty tears they departed for the All Night Party, a long summer of uncer¬ tainty and then the changes of the coming years. Perhaps they would never see each other again; but the warm crystalline memories of the good times of senior year would stay with them, giving solace and comfort in the days ahead. Graduating had added to the store of experi¬ ences of every member of the Class of 1976, and in leaving Wellesley High, the seniors completed another turn in the unending cycle of traditions. Seated: Diane Farrell, Paul Tetrick, Jenny Coogan. Standing: Rich Curry, Mike Sardina, Kevin SprouJe, Mike Caryl, Collette Davis. The All-Night Party brought both laughter and tears as friends gathered for perhaps the last time as members of the class of 76. L to r: Simon Ward, Rob Humphries, Nina Cic- carello.

The mezzanine was changed into the inside of a large space ship, with metallic gold-and-silver walls, a computer with blinking lights, windows looking out on space McDonald’s and a ' ' parking lot” of the future, and a room for space plants. The cafeteria itself was decorated with looming moon mountains, planets, stars and asteroids, and a floating astro¬ naut suspended in mid-air. The total effect of the created space age environ¬ ment stunned everyone. A lot of hard work went into mak¬ ing the evening an entertaining one. Gemma Perdoni and a team of seniors spent many weeks planning and con¬ structing the decorations. Jane Carpen¬ ter handled the catering and kept ever¬ ything running smoothly in the kitchen, where juniors worked as wait¬ ers and waitresses to serve a roast beef dinner to hungry { lub 76 patrons, fol¬ lowed by a homemade dessert. Anne Foley and Debbie Cunningham lined up an exciting revue of acts for a show after dinner: Valerie vonRosenvinge and Bob Burr displayed their singing talents, Brian Zimbler presented a magic act, and Jack Megan poured forth several songs from his extensive repertoire on the piano. Practically every act received a standing ovation from the gracious and enthusiastic crowd. After the show. Club 76 wound up with dancing to the music of Exposi¬ tion,” highlighted by Joe Proud, Greg Tardanico, and Dave Samour’s musical (and extra-musical) talents and the singingof Belinda Smith. Nina Ciccarello Donna Wheeler and Bob Marsh. Gemma was rewarded for her hard work. Our Senior Advisor enjoyed Club ’76. 214 Jack Megan displayed his talent. Smile r It ' s Club 76.

The Senior Class Banquet at the Marriott Hotel was undoubtedly the greatest activity of Senior Week because virtually every member of the Class of 76 attended the Banquet as well as a sizeable number of faculty members. After a tasty dinner was served, songs composed by the class officers and other talented members of the class were sung, the movie of ' ' Skip Day made its premiere, and parts of the class will were read Special awards were given to those unique sen¬ iors who have established themselves in both humorous and serious ways. John Dark of WRKO played his wide selection of disco sounds for us, holding bump contests and dis¬ tributing albums to the best dancers. The Senior Class Banquet was indeed a memorable evening for all and hopefully this tiaditional Senior Event will be continued for years to come.

Ma. 227 TED ROKICKI LEFT PRINCIPALSHIP TO BECOME ACTING SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS Up 00 • mk M m In the fall of 1976, Wellesley High is expected to be a very different place from the one it is today. The minor day to day and year to year changes will, of course, be present to preserve the static dynamics of modern educa¬ tion: new teachers, ?ome new courses and new students. But a basic change will also have taken place, an element intrinsic to the per nality of Wellesley High School will be gone; Ted Rokicki will not be there. After five years of hectic schedules, a myr¬ iad of personal contacts and series of projects and plans which produced assorted satisfac¬ tions and frustrations, the Rock” became Acting Superintendent of Schools in Welles¬ ley. In his position as principal of Wellesley High, Mr. Rokicki was responsible for numerous important programs and innova¬ tions during his five-year term: he eliminated the bells between classes, initiated Educa¬ tional Specifications,” brought in specialists for teacher training in dealing with Chapter 7 66 students, supported the addition of Eng¬ lish electives and expanded course offerings in all departments. He also played important roles in establishment of the Alternate Semes¬ ter, Distributive Education and Career Educa¬ tion Programs and the sophomore guidance meetings. Furthermore, Principal Rokicki hired one third of the current taff at the high school, bringing in teachers of varying backgrounds from different areas of the coun¬ try. Because he is an experienced pilot, he taught an aviation course to the delight of students interested in flying. Mr. Rokicki was sometimes controversial. He was deeply concerned about the poor facilities the high school offered in several areas, particularly industrial arts and the library. Believing in the concept of compre¬ hensive education,” he felt that his school should be able to meet the educational needs of every student. Unfortunately, economic conditions and other factors led to the defeat of three building addition plans presented to the town by the School Committee. Mr. Rok¬ icki leaves his position with the building problems of the high school still unsolved; but no one could deny the very real and important contributions he made to teachers, parents and students as principal. 7 ' fi {j r 0 o ywry ' « t Mr. Rokicki attended FAPS meetings to discuss student and faculty opinion. ABOVE: Mr. and Mrs. Rokicki and members of the faculty enjoy the Senior Banquet. 229 SWEET FRUSTRATION Walking through the halls of my high school I smell cigarette smoke and duplicator fluid and raisin toast and chalk dust And 1 see kids laughing and f ighting and crying and holding hands (sometimes even kissing) And meet the neatest people Some of whom are angry and sad and happy And some of whom aren’t And I wonder about the arcane atmosphere of education, and the crystal-brick lives of students And the sweet frustration of life And the ether-gray sterility of death.

Many seniors commented that, ironically, their class was never closer than during the week before graduation. Such is always the case: we tend to appreciate the company of others most when we are to lose contact with them. The memorable month of May was a time when seniors realized that they were about to lose their identities as Wellesley High students and begin separate lives in varying directions. As our senior year becomes a part of history, so does the 1976 WELLESLEYAN. The yearbook might be accused of being overly provincial; it is true that we stressed events in the life of Wellesley High in 1975-76. This was not to discount the importance of national and international occurrences; as we were graduating from high school, Jimmy Carter was wrapping up the Demo¬ cratic presidential nomination, Ronald Reagan and Presi¬ dent Ford were battling for the Republican one, Syrians were invading Lebanon, and the Supreme Court refused to review an appeal of the Boston desegregation order which resulted in forced busing. At the same time, a sex scandal was breaking on Capitol Hill in Washington D.C., and Italy was preparing for an election which might bring the Communist party into power in its gov¬ ernment. All of these news items, or course, were important. We have left them, however, to the chroniclers of world history. The particular purpose of the WELLESLEYAN was to capture a very small and special part of the total historical events of 1975-76: the life of students, faculty and administrators at Wellesley High School. We hope that the results have been satisfactory; the 1976 yearbook is meant to refresh memories of high school in the days to come and to bring back the heartbreaks, the friend¬ ships and the exhiliration of high school years. The class of 1976 has been a good class, a friendly class, a close group of people. It is our hope that this yearbook will allow the ties we formed as students of good ol’ W.H.S.” to keep alive; and that a glance through its pages will bring back thoughts of each other. This book is dedicated to many people. It is dedicated first to the late Mr. McEachern, who passed away this fall after many years of dedicated service as a custodian. It is dedicated to Mr. Scannell and all the custodians, who have faithfully worked to maintain the facilities of our school according to high standards. It is dedicated to Effie Sekas and the cafeteria workers, whose efforts have benefited students in the lunch and breakfast programs. Their cheery smiles brightened many a rainy D” period. And it is dedicated to the secretaries who dealt with stu¬ dents every day and were always ready to help with prob¬ lems in a variety of areas. The book is dedicated to a number of personalities worthy of mention. It is dedicated to Jeannie Goddard, who wound up nine years of Humanities this year to go back to teaching sophomores. Mrs. Goddard’s great capacity to give of herself to students showed in her affection for them and her interest in their education and total well-being. Her energy, drive and most of all her tremendous concern for other people made Humanities one of the all-time great courses in W.H.S. history. We also dedicate this book to Christine Bourdin and Sheila Morua, our A.F.r. students who have returned to France and Costa Rica. They have taken a little piece of Wellesley High with them. We dedicate it to Colby Robinson, whose courage and fortitude have been a model for us all; and to Gerry DUDE OF ’76” Dona¬ hue, whose class spirit and participation in activities added a lot to senior year. We dedicate it to Jeff Burns, our senior class presi¬ dent. His sterling character, intelligence, friendliness and concern for others made him a truly outstanding leader; his example was a model for other young people. We dedicate this book to Ted Rokicki and wish him luck in his new position as Assistant Superintendent of Schools. His years as principal were our years at Welles¬ ley High; we were glad to have gone through the school with him. A lot o f hard work went into the production of the WELLESLEYAy To the editors, Anne, Jeff, Karen, Bob, Laurie, Ronnie, Carolyn, Dena, Valerie, and yes,Joe and Anne, we must say a very large thank you. The same goes for the talented layout people, Betsy, Linda and Sue and dedicated staffers like Jeff, Tom, Mark, Susan and Nancy. We must also thank the tireless Westwood pho¬ tographers for all their assistance. And we thank Photo Editor Chris Hill ( Chill”) for taking hundreds upon hundreds of pictures and developing them at the last minute. The yearbook was put together under tight schedules; three in the morning meetings, missing dead¬ lines, running back and forth to Mrs. Barrett’s room and to various places in the school were all a part of it. Now that the job is over, we will say it’s all been fun. Two people remain to be credited for their efforts on behalf of this book The first is Jane Carpenter, Assistant Editor. Perhaps one of the most outstanding girls ever to graduate from Wellesley High, Jane excelled in athletics and academics and was also involved in running a num¬ ber of school activities (Variety Show, Student Govern¬ ment, Club 76, etc. etc.). Somehow, however, she man¬ aged to become the most indispensable person on the staff; her talents are displayed on almost every good page of the book (We won’t say who did the other pages.) Jane is a modest person whose outstanding qualities have not always received enough credit; we hope that this small thank you will in some measure make up for that. Finally, we must thank Mrs. Janice Barrett for her enormous contribution to our efforts to put out this book. We can never fully repay her for staying up into the early morning hours with us on deadlines; for help¬ ing us with the detaiis of journalism and yearbook-mak¬ ing; for being a wonderful teacher, advisor and friend. Mrs. Barrett, her husband and her son Michael have been a real part of the yearbook family” this year. We would just like to say that Mrs. Barrett is the kind of person BELOW: Gerry Donahue and Bv h Bachman. who, ideally, should be working with young people This has been a long message; it’s been a long To all our readers, Wellesley High friends, n teachers, and others, we say farewell. Let what w� j remain in our past; let what we want to be, becon future.
