Students are encouraged to take science each year through their senior year. This will prepare them for majors in the science and engineering field at the college level, and will also enhance their awareness of the role that science and technology play in our lives. Understanding that science is an intellectual discipline that is developed through experimentation and conceptualization will make students more literate scientifically and more capable of proposing solutions to the problems that science and technology have created.

Exciting projects with partner schools in France, Germany, and Spain enhance course offerings. These include foreign exchanges and class communications projects. The language lab and Macintosh computer lab help students learn as they acquire the skills of listening, speaking, reading, and writing in foreign language. Spanish, German, Latin, and French clubs further the involvement of students with foreign languages and culture outside the classroom. Pals.

Karla Deletis, Wellesley ' s new superintendent, had her recommendation rejected in a three to two vote by the School Commit- toe. For several weeks, gatherings were held to discuss the situation. Letters were Published in the Townsman about the ac- t ' on and several people spoke to the school committee, pleading for a reversal °t their decision. Nonetheless, the deci¬ sion remained unchanged and the search 0r a new principal began in late May and early June. As we go to press, no decision had been made as to who would become Wellesley High ' s next principal. Mr. Farrell and Wellesley Superintendent, Karla Deletis I feel so bad for Tonto.

This evaluation is mandatory for all schools every ten years. The total process is long and complete. In the beginning stages, the school undertakes a self-evaluation. All the teachers examine their own departments, as well as others in the school. These evaluations describe what our school has to offer its students. To complete self-evaluation, many committees are established, which bring information together for the evaluation. The two committees formed this year were the School and Community committee and the Philosophy committee. The School and Community committee researched Wellesley as a town e.g. population, financial background, placement of WHS graduates in some form of higher education, and other vital information that helps the school with its evaluation. The Philosophy committee used the School and Community results to define a philosophy of education that describes what WHS is trying to accomplish to meet the needs of all its students. Many other committees will be formed. In April of 1988, a panel of outside educators will come to the WHS. Using all of the information gathered in two years of work by the staff, they will evaluate our school. WHS will know in what areas it excels and where it needs to improve. The final report will be used by the School Committee, State Education Dept, and Colleges to issue accreditation.

Only 15,000 students nationwide qualify each year as Semi-finalists, and then they must submit further information on their scholastic backgrounds. Finalists may be granted considerable scholarships toward college and many receive extra consideration from admissions offices. This year, Wellesley High has seven finalists in the senior class: Martha Drum, Ben Frommer, David Gloss, Jen Licht, Christine Nuwayser, Tim O ' Neil, and Beth Plunkett. Joe Hurd was recognized as a National Merit Negro Student. Martha Drum David Gloss Jen Licht Joe Hurd Christine Nuwayser Tim O’Neill Beth Plunkett METCO CELEBRATES 20th ANNIVERSARY Wellesley Public Schools participated in the pioneering of the METCO Program in 1966. When the first group of 50 Boston students ventured forth to become students at WHS, these fifty Boston students and WHS launched what is not a twenty-year collaboration be¬ tween two communities, one suburban, one urban. Students acquiring a weel-rounded education are the common ground on which the two communities have built new bridges. The concept of METCO, a Voluntary Education Busing Program, emerged from the collaboration of concerned suburban and urban parents, desiring an alternative educational opportunity, one that would enhance and broaden the scope of educational possibilities for all students. During the past twenty years, comprehensive education for students from Boston has become a major theme in the academic environ¬ ment and criteria of W.H.S. Life-long friendships have been shared, and most important new avenues of communication and understand¬ ing have been paved. Bridges from one world to another now exist, built on the common ground of sharing a mutual educational experience. METCO is a positive and challenging educational program. It requires inner strength as well as physical and mental commitment. Boston students enrolled at Wellesley High find the experience to be mainly positive. The few negative experiences students have en¬ countered have been rooted in stereotyping. The current population of Boston students enrolled at WHS has participated in the METCO program since either kindergarten or first grade; rarely do students enter the program on the secondary level. If so, they have to adapt to their demanding new school interests as well. New students must also learn to cope with the early morning bus ride and to develop new friendships, both on the bus and in school. Miss Nazaleem Smith, our METCO Advisor, is herself a graduate of WHS. “I am sure that attending WHS afforded me many options that I might not have been exposed to otherwise. She learned much about herself and the world outside the city. I learned to expect more from myself and the process of education, than I might have learned in the Boston Public Schools. Boston schools gave me the foundation of skills, Wellesley schools polished, tested and improved my ability to utilize those many skills.” Miss Smith has been teaching and counseling at WHS for the past six years. She brings to us not only the benefits of her education but the insights from her experiences as a Wellesley METCO student. Miss Smith has been doing a wonderful job as our Advisor. METCO provides us with a variety of support services; such as academic tutorial preparation for college. They sponsor the Black Col¬ lege Tour during April vacation, the program has sponsored trips to colleges in the New England area also. As we celebrate the 20th An¬ niversary of METCO in Wellesley, we have come full circle in 1986. There are fifty-nine Boston students before us who have become doc¬ tors, teachers, executives for firms such as Sheraton, Legal Sea Foods, Poloroid, and the Patriots. Our future has a bright and strong foundation due to our participation in the Wellesley METCO program. by Monica Middleton 1st Row, L to R: Omay Ford, Gail Miles, Andrea Ambros, Sheri Craft, Errol Brown, Monica Middleton, Darryl Spencer, Aaron Kelton, Terrence James. 2nd Row:, L to R: Sheronda Ponder, Marnie Greene, Indria Peirce. 3rd Row: Eric Pert, Rick Rhodes, Bill Craft, Kim Blakeley, Drew Kelton, Monique Austin. 4th Row: Derek Har¬ ris, Tamara Meredith, Sharlett Jones, Michelle Tabb. 5th Row: Bobby Bryant, Curtis Sanders, Torey White, Jenine Webster, Okeri Mitchell, Wallia Wright, Kerry Moore.

(From Top: Beth Plunkett, Katherine Lothes, Ussy Groginsky, Lianne Kurina, Rebecca Priver, Charles Scott, and Jen Licht) The International Baccalaureate Program, directed by Mrs. Moore Benson, offers a challeng¬ ing program to academically talented students. Students opting to enroll must follow a rigorous, comprehensive curriculum throughout their high school years in preparation for extensive testing in the senior year. Students must also complete sup¬ plementary courses in the Theory of Knowledge and must donate time to service outside of school hours. The Baccalaureate diploma is recognized by many excellent colleges worldwide and may serve as automatic acceptance or advanced placement. This year, the I B. program was par¬ ticularly strong, with many students enrolled and encouraging results recorded on the examina¬ tions. The students meet monthly and much parental involvement is also encouraged. The pro¬ gram is unique at Wellesley High as it is one of on¬ ly a few such programs in the state. Think high-tech. Think school. Now, think fruit. By now, you might be thinking about the new Wellesley High School Macintosh Laboratory — Mac Lab for short. In the summer of 1986, W.H.S. received a grant from Apple Com¬ puter Co. for hardware and software worth about $45,000. Included were 16 Macintosh Plus computers, 4 Im- agewriter II printers, an Appletalk network, and other assorted items. Under the guidance of Alan November, the computer applications specialist of the Wellesley public schools, the lab was located in room 109. Currently, Computer as a tool, Problem Solving with Technology, and Word Processing courses are taught in the Mac Lab. Various French, English, and history classes also use it from time to time. Everyone is invited to come after school and explore the easiest and most powerful computer on the market. The Mac Lab is a welcome step toward bringing W.H.S. into the 80’s.

Under the leadership of the class officers, as well as the guidance of advisor Miss Lynn, the class of 1990 was able to overcome the stigma of being freshmen and adapted well to the high school. They successfully publicized and conducted the Haunted House at the Seniors ' Halloween party and raised more money by sponsoring the Holiday Gram candy delivery at Thanksgiving. The highlight of the year was the Class Day in February. It was spent skiing at Sunapee. After a successful and active year, the class of 1990 was ready to move on to the elevated position of sophomores.

What was expected to be a rebuilding season became a highly successful one, despite only seven seniors. The beginning of the season started out slowly with a 3-2-2 record over the first seven games. From that point, captains Brent Pickett and Tom Idzal led the Raiders to success. One of the highlights of the season came when the team met Needham. Pickle” Walker, Wellesley’s leading goal scorer (15 g), tallied both goals in a thrilling 2-1 victory over the Rockets. After 15 games, Wellesley faced undefeated and first place Framingham North. The Raiders shocked the Spartans at their own field, 3-1. The team qualified for the state tourna¬ ment after finishing the season with a 5-0 rout of Holliston. In the quarterfinals, Wellesley met defending state champions from Rockland in a hard fought game which ended with a 5-2 loss. The defense was led by senior sweeper Andy Wilson. Fine performances were registered by George Gaughan, Matt Downs, and Scott Morrison, with Craig Lovett and Rob Holmes tending the net. In the midfield, Mark O’Dell stood out in the center. BSL All-Stars were Matt McGowan and Pickle Walker. Altogether, the soccer team proved that a united team is a successful one.

Despite the loss of senior sweeper Jo-Anne Zaglakas in the first game, the team performed spectacularly allowing only one loss in the first half of the season, including a sweet victory over arch-rival Needham. They maintained their pace in the last nine games, clinching the league championship in the last game of the regular season, their match against Needham. The state tournament saw the Raiders in top form as they took Plymouth- Carver 2-1. Unfortunately, a sudden loss after 4 overtimes to Newton North ended the dream of a state championship. There was talent from all classes on this powerful team. Tri-captains Heidi Pomfret, Lisa Hines, and Maria Mitchell set the winning exam¬ ple which everyone followed. Coach Heller expects the solid core of returning players to continue this year’s success into the future.

(Lou Grignaffini) FOOTBALL HAS BEST SEASON IN 24 YEARS The 1986 Football season proved to be a memorable one as the team finished with a rank of sixth in the State Division One. The 8-1-1 record was the best registered by a Raider Squad in 24 years. The lone loss of the season came to undefeated Walpole. The quickly emerging rivalry with Natick resulted this year in a convincing 28-7 victory, proving last year ' s upset to be no fluke. This, coupled with a 32-7 Thanksgiving roasting of Needham, provided the team with plenty of memories to savor in the future. BSL All-Stars David Spezzano, Drew Kelton, Chris Muzzy, Geoff Lloyd, Aaron Kelton, and Mike Riseberg led the Raiders to victory. In only his third year as Head Coach, Mr. Levin has built a powerhouse out of a once hapless group. This year, Wellesley became recognized as a football force to be dealt with.

Captains Rebecca Truesdell, Laura Dederian, and Kristen Aylward ledt the team to its defense of the Bay State League Title. In the post-season, the girls won the Mass State South Sectional Championship and were favored to place in the top two in the State Championships, yet chose not to participate in protest of a controversial MIAA team member rule. Coach Rich Echlov summarized the season and the team concept displayed by the squad by saying, “It took thirty girls to win the BSL (and South Sec¬ tional), not just a few.” All team members were thankful for a wonderful coach and a successful season. All swimmers were underclassmen and will return next year to dominate the pools.

Highlighting the year were wins over Nor¬ wood, both home and away, a feat not accomplished for many seasons. The seniors con¬ tributed heavily to the success. Trish Young played her first varsity season; consistent strength came from Colleen Riley and Karen McDonald at forwards, and Jen Poitras and Lin¬ da Lawrence shut down the opposition at defense. BSL All-Stars were awarded to MVP Cici Andersen, leading scorer Ann Guinane, and Eileen Cloonan. Also strengthening the Raiders were next year ' s co-captains Corinne Kelton and Mary Riley aided by Jo-Anne Westcott, Julia Clarkson, Kristen Bevilacqua, Susan Snyder, and Nicole Chaisson. Sophomores Mary Cate Riley and Amy Jutras emerged as talented players and will aid the squad in the future. The wealth of veteran players coupled with the skill of the underclassman contingent can on¬ ly serve to better next year ' s team, possibly to exceed the accomplishments of this prosperous season.

Despite the losing record, the squad enjoyed the success of individual run¬ ners in addition to several exciting and funny meets. Paul Ryan and Nick James, the top two runners on the team, were selected as Bay State League All-Stars. Ryan, a sophomore, placed first for Wellesley in all nine meets and 10th in the league championships. James, a senior co-captain, was ranked 11 th in the league, behind Ryan. In the States, Ryan was 58th, and James 71st. Rounding out the first spots were seniors Ben Donaldson, Jon Abernethy, co-captain Jay Kirwin, and Tom Beetham. Depth was also provided by Dave Heistand. The team will lose several seniors to graduation, but Coach Bowman is expecting to benefit from an undefeated JV squad. Eric Hellweg, Kevin Thompson, and Scott Darwin, in addition to Ryan should lead the team in a potential BSL championship season next year.

The Raiders shared the league title with Walpole and Milton. For the fourth consecutive year, the squad has captured first place honors. The sole loss of the season came to a strong Walpole team at their home course. The highlight of the year was the upset victory over Milton in which everyone contributed including Mike Reidy’s two-foot putt on the final hole to clinch the win. Raider coach, Jim Sullivan, im¬ proved his career record to an impressive 35-2 over four years. The team was led by senior Bob Morrow, team captain and MVP. Other solid performances were turned in by starters Jason Miller, Mark Woodward, and Mike Reidy. Newcomers David Flaherty and David Kott provided depth for the team. Leading the team next year will be Matt Oteri and Jason Miller. The squad had two Bay State League All-Stars in Mark Woodward and Bob Morrow. In addi¬ tion, Morrow won the BSL Tournament for the third consecutive season. The team qualified for both state tournaments held in the spring.

The varsity was also aided by underclassmen Lisa Moore, Lyn Eliot, and Stephanie Toderick. In the MIAA State Tourna¬ ment, they reached the semi-final round in which they lost a tough match to Milford. Post¬ season honors were awarded to Karen Verde, Jen Smith, and Lisa Moore as Bay State League All-Stars. Jen Smith was also honored by the Boston Globe as one of the top volleyball players in the state with the All-Scholastic award.

The team was led by their tri-captain all-stars Geoff Llyod, Adam Bresnick, and Matt Silverstein as well as sophomore all-star Dave Rudders. The team continued to win the Division 2 South sectionals, the Division 2 Commonwealth Cup and was run¬ ner up in the Division 2 State Championship. The team will say goodbye to their tri¬ captains as well as seniors Mike Riseberg and Louis Grignaffini but hope to continue their winning tradition next season.

With only seven players returning, and only four of those seven having played regularly in ’85-86, the Raiders were a young, inexperienced team. Early season injuries kept Michael Walker and Than Parker off the ice for more than half the season. Add to that two freshmen and six sophomores and you’ll understand why the Raiders had trouble putting the puck in the net. Highlights of the 86-87 season were Bob Murray turning aside 952 of 1062 shots on goal and was named the team MVP, league All-Star, Co Most Valuable Goalie in the Bay State Conference, and at Hockey Night in Boston All-Scholastic Goaltender. Defenseman Ken Moon was also named a league playing All-star as both Ken and Bobby looked impressive in their 7-2 All-star win. Opponent Score Fram. So. 1-9 Walpole 1-11 Dedham 1-8 Fram.

The girls’ team, led by captains Jen Smith and Katey Fitzpatrick, finished their undefeated championship year with a record of 9-0, due to strong performances throughout the season. School records were set by the 4x160 relay team (Rebecca Potts, Marvalyn DeCambre, Fitzpatrick, and Smith), Liz Laborne (600 dash), and Jen Smith (50 hurdles), Sara Hallor had an outstanding state level performance placing 4th in the mile at the Class B State Meet. The boys’ team, led by captains Andy Wilson and Jay Kirwin, finished the season with a record of 3-6. High scorers included Wilson (85), Paul Ryan (49), Shinichi Furuya (35), and Matt Downs. There were many outstanding performances at the Class C State Meet by Juniors Downs (50 dash) and Furuya (300 dash), sophomore Ryan (1000m), and Andy Wilson (4th in the mile). Wilson ' s mile time (4:28) tied the school record and qualified him for the All-State meet. Other key performers were Scott Morrison and freshman standout Alex Smith in both the 50 dash and 300m. With the loss of only 3 seniors, the team should be a force in the BSL next winter. GIRLS Opponent Score Braintree W 30-0 Norwood W 31-7 Fram.

Coach Hunter Adams made lots of progress in his first year with the team, and has a lot to be proud of. Captain Joe Hurd, a two time BSL All-star, broke two WHS records in the 200IM and the 100 Fly to help him qualify for the State and sec¬ tional tournaments. A strong underclassman squad should help the team along next year. Ted Preston, also a BSL All-Star, set a new record in the 50 free. Marty Denning proved to be one of the state ' s finest divers as he placed fifth in the state meet. Chris Foster, Jeff Kerley, Alex Thoman, Glen MacMaster, and Nathan Stiff will help the team along next year.

We finished up 15th out of 43 teams in the southern sectionals, scoring an average of over 100 points. Our team high was 108 which is also the highest score Wellesley girl gym¬ nasts have ever scored. This was all accomplished through hard work and cooperation. We were successful because every member was determined to improve themselves, achieve a personal best, for the good of the team as a whole. Co-captain Ann Guinane was strong on bars and vault throughout the season and was priceless in her contribution of organization and spirit. Co-captain Katie McConville was one of the leading team scorers on beam and displayed confidence, form, and originality in any event she competed in. Crissi Moore showed constant on beam, while Carrie Pulchino and Nicky Laurent showed style and personality. Beth Plunkett incredibly choreo¬ graphed for routine and was always a pleasure to watch, Liaane Kurina and Julie Preston and Roberta (Cheeks) Destefano showed grace and form in the floor routines; Nicki Burg displayed strength on bars and floor. Julie Bresnick and Vicky Crawshaw assets in their talents on all 4 events. Sophomore Karen Mcdonald was our highest scoring gymnast and qualified for the states in three out of four events. In addition to talent, the positive attitude and high goals set and achieved by the whole team allowed us to have a wonderful season.

The team showed desire and unity this season, and competition was always spirited. The Raiders were led by Captain Sean Carberry and Co-Captains Chris Libertino, Tom Idzal, Chris Chin and David Fischer. The team placed sixth in the league meet with Mike O’Hearn, Chris Libertino, and Sean Carberry receiv¬ ing individual honors as well. Although the team did not qualify, individuals Reese Clews, Sean Carberry, and Chris Libertino attended the State Meet and performed well. The team’s future looks bright due to the large number of underclassmen on the squad. Coaches John Redman, Ian Lewis, and Matt Johnson are looking forward to next year in hopes of continuing the team’s improvement. The league title is not out of the reach of next year’s team.

Although small compared to past teams, the Raiders over¬ came this factor. Team captains, Jeff Merz and Heather Dadourian, provided strong leadership. In cross country, the team finished impressively with the girls as league champions, and the boys in second place. Valuable contributions were provided by the boys in Scott Bender, Josh Buell, Jeff Merz, Tom Beetham, and David Holdsworth. Contributing for the girls were Karen Merz, Sarah Carothers, and Heather DaDourian.

Early in the season, they were matched with teams who had benefited from weeks of pre-season practice, and lost their first three meets. Wounded Raider pride was the inspiration for intense determination which led to six straight wins. The team also entered the State Sailing tournament and after 23 races, emerged as the 7 team in Massachusetts. Led by co¬ captains Scott Bender and Robin Levy, the team swelled to a record roster size due to the influx of new freshmen. This, in addi¬ tion to the skill of returning sophomores and juniors, skippered by MVP Lewis Kofsky, leaves Coach Bevilacqua with great promise and high expectations for future seasons to improve on this edi¬ tion ' s winning record and rank in state.

The Red Raiders were led by their 5 returning seniors: Cap¬ tain Drew Kelton who hit .330 for his second time in two years; Aaron Kelton who became the stopper in the second half of the season and in tournament play; Kevin Real who was injured for part of the season but he held the Bay State Iron to an average of 4 runs per game; and David Spezzano who was kept on the D.L. list for the majority of the season due to a car accident. Three seniors were up from the J.V. J.V.’s were Mike Turano, the catcher who hit .317 and Darrin Rizzo the third baseman who hit .300 and Doug Drummer the first baseman who batted a very key .298. Junior stand¬ outs coming back for next spring are Ryan Palladino who hit .372, and David Moore who will return to the infield. Other Junior returnees will be Mark Miller (outfield), and Brian Donahue (infield, pitcher). The 1987 Super Sophs were Paul Bryant who posted an 8-1 record for his first Varsity season and also appeared in the Bay State League All-Star Game and Chuck Martin who played a key role in slamming the door on Natick in the early part of the season.

The team produced a record of 20-0 which clinched them the Bay State title for the first time in the history of the team. Under Coach Heller ' s direction, the team was paced by captains Lisa Hines and Alison Moppett, both three year varsity players, and Bay State League Playing All Stars Jen Olson and Andrea Salve, who stole 22 bases this season. Other outstanding underclassmen were Sarah Cahill, Stacey Harris, Jane Kettendorf, Keri Crawford, Niki Burg, and Michelle Lloyd. Two freshmen joined the team this year: leading hitter and Bay State League All Star, Karen Donahue, and Bay State League All Star and Globe All Scholastic, Lisa Moore. Moore had a superb season, and ended the regular season with a 0.00 ERA. The team entered tournament play and beat New Bedford 1-0 to become the South Sectional Division 1 champions. The team played Lemonister in the state finals. The team will only be losing three seniors, and is looking forward to another exceptional season next year. TOURNAMENT PLAY Walpole W Oliver A.

We ended 8:5:1 losing in the semi-finals of the Eastern Mass Tournament to Wayland, the eventual winners of the tournament. We had an incredible group of seniors whose talent and personality were the key to our success. Our co-captains Lynelle Preston and Heidi Pomfret were unbelievable forces on the field. Both were chosen All-Stars and Lynelle was voted team MVP. Senior Meghan Cooney and sophomore Liz Berkery also played in the All-Star game. Meghan displayed versatility in offensive and defensive play as our starting center. Berkers remains a force to be dealt with. Senior Katie McConville was our leader in assists as well as our third leading scorer. Her incredible speed and left handed cradle blew away any defensive opponent. Liz Z McGovern proved ruthless in her consistent defensive skill and quickness. Carolyn Cealy and Mary Reily contributed to the defensive threat. Senior Kristen Chisolm was always a pleasure to watch with her unique cradle and artistic shooting. Junior Sarah Scruff Caruthers was our leading scorer. Her ac¬ curacy and quiet athletic instinct was a strong support this season. Our season would never have been successful without our fearless goalie CiCi Anderson. Once she put on those pads there was fire in her eyes and an uncontrollable thirst for blood. The harmony between players and our fantastic coach, Chris Molonea, made for a wonderful season!

Head Coach Walsh expressed the nature of the team well when he re-emphasized the goals were to achieve personal best performances, many of which were accomplished in 1987. The distance team was anchored by senior Ben Donaldson and co-captains Jon Abernethy and Andy Wilson. Paul Ryan and John Ramsey secured points in the 800 continually. Standout sprinters were Joe Hurd in the 400; Shinichi Furuya in the 200 and 100; and the 4 x 100 team of Furuya, Matt Downs, Alex Smith, and Dylan Jackson. The hurdlers were led by Matt Buckley and freshman sensation Pat Smith. The weight team, often overwhelmed in early meets, was able to rise to a late season surge under the strength of Tom Boyer-Kendrick in the javelin and Mark Frisoli and James Walsh in the discus and shot. Finally, in the field events, Wilson and Buckley soared in the high jump; Ted Preston towered in the pole vault; and the other sensational freshman Alex Smith made great bounds in the triple jump. While the 5-4 record does not meet championship caliber, individual records fell often. This year, Wellesley sent more athletes to state meets than any in recent memory. Furuya, Hurd, Preston, Pat Smith, Kendrick, Wilson, and Ryan competed in the State Class Meet, with Ryan and Wilson advancing to the All-State Championships. Another positive aspect about the team is the future, as many bright underclass pros¬ pects will fill in for the departed seniors to light the way. 1st, L-R: (Jon Abernathy, Andy Wilson, Joe Hurd, John Ramsey). 2nd: (Mike Sheih, Jermine Rosell, Kellen Glass, Matt Downs, Shinichi Furuya, Alex Smith, Matt Babcock, Kip MacAllister, Evan Reeves, Jon Magenheimer, Jamie Condon, Tommy Anderson, Ben Donaldson, Ang Lee, Rudy Ganz, Erik Sanner, Matt Buckley, Pat Chira, Alex Halsey, Coach Walsh). 3rd: (David Phillips, Dave Pilat, Tom Kendrick, Mark Frisoli, Bill Seery, Jim Mc¬ Cauley, Nathaniel Halsey, Gene VanBuren, Scott Darwin, James Walsh, Alex Jackson, Doug Brown, Paul Ryan, Bob Waugh, Dylan Jackson, Ed Wilkinson, Mark Vibaldino, West Burns, Pat Smith).

(Gene Demambro) The 1987 Girls ' Track team, while small in numbers, was able to rise to respectability by continually gutty and record-setting performances. Senior Jen Poitras led in the 2 mile and was often supplemented by Beth Plunkett, while Crissi Moore was a mainstay in the mile. Sophomores Kirsten Greineder and Amy Jutras led in the 800m. Marvalyn DeCambre excelled in the 200m and Gail Miles decimated the field in the 100. Jen Smith and Katey Fitzpatrick anchored the hurdling team in the 110HH and 300IH, respectively. In the field and weight events, Miles and DeCambre led the triple and long jumps; high jump was filled by Smith, who also competed with Susan Blackwood and Stephanie Roderick in the shot put. Although defense of their indoor championship was not successful, disap¬ pointment could not be found as individual efforts shone through.

The team started the year by losing their first match 3-2 to Walpole. Trying a new line-up, rookie coach Joe O’Brien found a team that would win 17 of the next 18 matches. That streak included two wins over Framingham North, two wins over Needham and a 4-1 beating of Walpole. The team had five BSL All Stars this year, the most from one team. Dave Kott (15-5), Stephen Bassler (19-1), and recipient of the Larry Rice Award), Chris Harris (12-2) and the only doubles team to be so honored, Hal Lydon and Kevin Leach (14-3). There were two matches that will be embedded in the minds of the players, one be¬ ing the defeat of Framingham North at their home field 3-2. The team went in knowing that if they didn ' t win they wouldn’t win the league title. Chris Harris posted the first point with a decisive 6-2, 6-0 win. Then, Stephen Bassler brought home another point by winning 6-4, 6-1. With the loss of a point at first singles, Dave Kott lost 6-1, 6-1; the team was counting on one of the doubles teams to win. Hal Lydon and Kevin Leach supplied the point with a third set score of 6-4 and a win. On the down side, Tom Mogan and John O’Brien, our steadfast second doubles team, (8-5) lost a close third set match. The other match the team will remember is their defeat in the quarters at the states. After Dave Kott and Stephen Bassler got winning points and Hal Lydon Kevin Leach and Tom Mogan John O’Brien posted tough losses, the team sat by to root on Chris Harris. Chris had lost the first set 7-5, won the second set 7-6 and had tied 4-4 in the third set. The Brookline player then found the energy to somehow out-duel Chris and win the next two games and end the tennis season.

L 1-4 The Girls’ Tennis Team closed out a very successful season with a record of 17-1-0, making them Bay State League Champions. The 17-1 record won them the fourth seeding in the State Tournament, where they suffered a tough loss in the semi-finals to the eventual winners, Concord Carlisle. However, it marked the first time in history the Girls’ team has made the semis. These were not the only highlights. Coach Seiger was chosen the Boston Globe ' s Coach of the Year, and with the arrival of Thailand’s Patharin Ouilapan, the team received quite a bit of media attention. In the State Individual Tournament, Jen Shupe, a junior varsity player, was pulled up to represent Wellesley’s doubles along with her partner Beth Connors. Both rose to the occasion by making it to the quarter finals. The secret behind this year’s success was team unity on and off the court. Such outings as go-karts, miniature golf, McDonalds, Chinese food, and the Cape really brought everyone together. The pinnacle of all these adventures was a weekend at the Donahue house in Maine, where we had a little intra-team competition, and most im¬ portantly, lots of fun. Next season, both Ouilapan and Jackie Bayliss, who is moving to Indiana, will be greatly missed. They contributed not only to our winning season, but also to the overall sense of spirit and team pride. Fortunately, the team has a great deal of as it is com¬ posed of some outstanding juniors, sophomores and freshmen.

After producing a few successful issues this year, the Bradford was suspend¬ ed due to lack of general support. Without faculty ad¬ visors or class time scheduled for next year, the outlook for the WHS newspaper is bleak. Junior editor Ted Preston, however, is hoping to receive state funds to cover costs. He is determined to continue the printing of the paper. As we go to press, the School Improvement Coun¬ cil had voted $300.00 for the Bradford.

The council consists of students, parents, and teachers elected by their groups and is chaired by Mr. Farrell. The Coun¬ cil, with the help of ideas from the Wellesley School community, reviewed $30,000 and requests for funding. They narrowed the grants to include money for a stu¬ dent lounge, all student ac¬ tivities, a science dept, computer program, a spring writers ' workshop and numerous other Projects.

S.T.O.P. is unique in that it is the only peace organization aimed specifically towards students and teachers. Its purpose is to educate the school community to the issues that surround nuclear war. In order to accomplish this the members have been involved in many activities that in¬ clude walking in the Boston Walk for Peace, seeing films, and participating in the annual Nuclear War Week of education, which provides all students the chance to learn more and come to a better understanding of the dangerous threat of Nuclear War.

If there is sufficient interest, the WHS Chess Club competes in the Middlesex and Central Massachusetts Scholastic Chess League. Students who want to learn how to play chess or learn to play better may join the WHS Chess Club. Student Government The Student Government had a very productive year. They worked on various projects including a fall Blood Drive which was one of the school’s most suc¬ cessful drives. Valentine’s Day Kiss-o-grams were sold later in the year, profiting the Student Govern¬ ment with more money than in past years. The Government ' s largest undertaking was the planning and preparation for the Chemical Awareness Week. The project took hard work and dedication, but was extremely helpful in providing students with informa¬ tion about chemical abuse as well as various organizations which deal with drug-related problems. At the beginning of the year, the group decided to begin what became a huge undertaking: drafting a new Constitution. Hopefully, the new Constitution will create a more influential body which will enable students to voice their problems and opinions. The Constitution committee worked all year and the new Student Council is now in the process of being implemented. Under the leadership of Joe Hurd, Chris Pulichino, and Howard Steeves, along with the newly elected officers Susan Snyder, Pat Kealy and Alison McCon- chie, Student Government had a very rewarding year. 170 KEY CLUB Key Club is a service club sponsored by the Kiwanis Club and open to all students at the high school. This year the club has had over 50 different students working together on its various projects. The club raises money by selling hot dogs at the football and basketball games and the Annual Valentine Carnation Sale. This money was spent by sponsoring a Welcome Back Cookout for all Seniors and Freshmen, a teacher Appreciation Luncheon for over 150 staff members and a donation of SI ,000 to the Kiwanis Pediatric Trauma Center in Boston. Furthermore, they ran raffles, contests, donated SI89 to Globe Santa, $153 for UNICEF, sold Booster buttons and helped celebrate Black History month. Club members decorated a float for the Wellesley Veteran’s Parade, served at the Thanksgiving Lun¬ cheon for local Senior Citizens and prepared and served refreshments at the Wellesley Symphony Orchestra Ball. The club meets weekly and also kept in touch with other Key Clubs in New England, Dana Hall Key Club, and the Circle K Club of Babson College.

Most programs were held in the Science Lecture Hall and open to the student body, ex¬ cept for Dr. Tom Cottle ' s program for the entire communi¬ ty, which was held Monday night in the auditorium. Susie Snyder, Pres, of the Student Government, worked hard to organize it. The kickoff to the entire week was Dr. Robert Arnot’s presentation of the CBS documentary he produced with Dan Rather, 48 Hours on Crack Street. He was invited by Mrs. Barrett to speak to her Modern Mass Communica¬ tions classes, but many history, science and other English classes attended. CBS medical correspondent Dr. Arnot explained in depth to the students about the filming of 4 Hours on Crack St. A victim of an alcohol-related accident also spoke dur¬ ing “Alcohol Awareness Week. Dr. Bob Arnot in a serious moment after tell¬ ing students about a crack overdose he saw in the emergency room. 192 Students from all classes listened attentively. There was usually a full house during the assemblies and the audience was always interested. A victim of an alcohol related accident. Dr Arnot, who was a student at Wellesley H.S., is now on the C B S. Morning News. Seminar on Racism April 10.1987 The main purpose of this seminar was to educate students and faculty about racism that exists in today ' s world as well as in our own school. There were many speakers ranging from a Wellesley Col¬ lege professor, a Simmons College pro¬ fessor, a student panel, and a few main people who were part of the team that made the widely acclaimed “Eyes On The Prize series, a documentary about the civil rights years. This day helped to pro¬ vide an awareness of this ever-existing epidemic. Special credit goes to Becca Dallinger and Marvalyn Decambre, Class of ’87, for organizing and sponsoring this unique event. The turn-out was a packed Science Lecture Hall! The minds behind the program: Rebecca Dallinger, Steve Cohen and Marvaly n Decambre Passionate views were expressed.

The Madrid group spent three weeks in Wellesley during the early fall, while the Wellesley group paid a return visit in February to Spain. Students from both groups spent three weeks living with host families and attending the partner school. Families and teachers enthusiastically planned a wide variety of academic and extracurricular activities. All students agree that their experiences both at home and abroad have had tremendous positive impact on their lives, and they look forward to a continuing and deepen¬ ing relationship with their new “brother” or “sister” in the years ahead.

Both trips were successful; in the fall the French Club organized and participated in many activities such as dinners and parties which added to their tourist activities. Similar activities were organized at the Lycee J.B. Corot in France. Many of the activities were even at¬ tended by the Mayor of Savigny. Many students trav¬ eled with their families around France to areas such as Provence, La Cote d ' Azur and the group as a whole visited several cathedrals and a chateau. The group also visited various sights around Paris. The activities varied greatly as students spent two weeks with their vacationing families and one week participating in classes at the Lycee Corot. Overall, the entire group en¬ joyed the French culture, their correspondents, and the great weather very much.

German students usually spend four weeks in Munich in June and July, leaving for Germany as soon as school is out for summer. During the stay in Munich, the students live with families, attend school every day and participate in numerous outings in and around Munich usual¬ ly including the Olympic Village, Neuschwans- tein Castle, a tour of BMW and a Brewery, and perhaps a visit to Dachau Concentration Camp site. One week is spent with a visit to Berlin. While there, the group will make a one-day visit to East Berlin and visit the markets and monuments of the city.

By the very nature of existence, we live not alone, but in a world full of countless other individuals. Therefore, our talents, thoughts, and ideas are larger than our own finite selves as we learn to put them together and work towards greater under¬ standing. It is not just a bit selfish to deny ourselves the chance to utilize our intelligence when the rest of the world could be counting on our contribution to the whole?

They had a lot more than just a curriculum in mind all these years ... I guess Graduation speeches all have an idea, thought, that graduates should take with them. It may seem ob¬ vious but... memories, that’s my idea; let’s keep them in all of our thoughts. Excluding the document we will shortly receive, I believe that it is these memories and experiences that will become the most important aspect of our high sc hool years.’’ Thomas P.

We were clumsy, confused freshmen, groping about in a dark new environment. From such humble beginnings, we have now evolved into high school graduates. Our class of 1987 is one of true individuals, unique in that we have achiev¬ ed excellence in the classroom as well as on the playing fields. Our class boasts seven National Merit Scholars and several participants in the Academic Decathlon. Our athletic achievements were outstanding wi th both an excellent football team in the fall and a championship wrestling team in the winter. In the spring, the excellence continued with our tennis teams and the girls’ softball team. Although the yearbook staff shrunk in size as the spring arrived it was blessed with quality members. Through pain, sweat, and even tears, we managed to complete this 1987 Welleslyan Yearbook. We would like to thank all the staff for all their time and energy. We feel very confident in leaving next year ' s yearbook in Norah Mogan and Greg Yaitanes ' hands. We would also like to thank Mr. Bowman for all his financial help and guidance. We would especially like to thank Mrs. Barrett for her assistance and dedication to the yearbook. We couldn’t have done it without her! Wellesley High gave us many triumphs and many failures. Yet, from four hectic years of high school, 283 mature individuals arose, r eady for the future. Whatever avenues we choose we will each carry memories of special times and of close friends. Goodbye and Good Luck! 240 Advisors Janice Barrett and Ralph Bowman
