Text from Pages 1 - 104 of the 1959 volume:

LOOKING FROM THE SHORES OF THE WACHUSETI This area, the center of the then industrial community of West Boylston, was flooded in the early part of the century to make a reservoir for the City of Boston. The building at the right, the former West Boylston IESERVOIR TOWARD MOUNT WACHUSETT. Baptist Church, is the sole survivor of the Old Town.” Built of granite taken from Malden Hill, and now over sixty-five years old, this silent sentinel is a reminder of part of our cultural heritage. BEAMAN MEMORIAL PUBLIC LIBRARY WEST BOYLSTON, MA8S a u.ne. 1 . THE Qtf l WEST BOYLSTON HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR ANNUAL West Boylston Massachusetts t959 I p yieciHyut The early inhabitants that once set- tled the area where West Boylston Junior-Senior High School is now lo- cated could never have foreseen a building as streamlined and modern as our present school. The origin, development, and fruition of the hopes and aspirations of nearly five generations in the field of secondary education constitute the theme of this annual. As you leaf through the pages that follow, the contrast be- tween the old and the new is ap- parent. We are, therefore, both hum- ble and appreciative of the oppor- tunities provided for us by our par- ents and the community — opportuni- ties that those before us did not enjoy.

Late in the Spring our Yearbook Staff was chosen and we launched the 1959 edition of The Lion’s Roar. Welcome additions to the Class Junior year were Roy DuPont, Geraldine Meola and Donald Moore. SENIOR YEAR 1958-1959 To lead us through our big Senior Year we elected Brucq Goodale, President; Donald Moore, Vice- President; Marsha Hilton, Secretary; Kathryn Sheldon, Treasurer; Virginia Beshai and Paul Mercadante, Student Council members. Our first activity was the Senior Play, Time Out For Ginger,” staged November 21. A month later we presented the Christmas Ball, Winter Fantasy,” in the festively dec- orated gymnasium. Patricia Popowicz was chosen Queen and Dolores Anthony, Marsha Hilton, Ligia Matera and Marlene Toloczko were her attendants. Athletics prospered with many Seniors competing on the various teams. A high spot of the year was our participation in the Clark Tournament, in which we won second place aided by the hard work of Seniors Larry Silvester, Donald Moore, Richard Love and Bruce Goodale. Early in the year Sheila Millin and Joseph Rousseau had joined our ranks. We were busy through the Spring planning Class Day, the Banquet, and Trip and selecting our class gift. In mid-May the Juniors sponsored a formal dance in our honor. Finally on June 11, as the climax to our happy high school years, we received our diplomas and graduated as the Class of 1959- 21 344 TOOt We, the Junior-Senior High School Class of 1959, of West Boylston, in the County of Worcester and Commonwealth of Massachusetts, make this our last will and testament revoking all previous wills and codicils made by us. Modestly acknowl- edging our superiority in such renowned feats as constructing unique displays, sharing hysterical comments, baffling tolerant teachers, and dodging assignments, we have paused in our reveries long enough to lighten the burden of those who follow by bequeathing to posterity our inestimable treasures.

As we cruised to Cape Cod in our spacebreaker, only going 110 miles per hour, we heard the familiar sound of a siren and were signaled to pull over to the side of the road by a tall, dark, and bald state trooper. When we saw who it was, we couldn’t believe our eyes. We rubbed them and Yep!,” it was Larry Fuller. Putting on our feminine charm, we finally thought we had persuaded Larry not to give us a ticket. But we hadn’t — a true state trooper. We continued traveling and soon felt hungry. We stopped at a quaint restaurant called The Sea Gull. As we were leaving, we bumped into Harold Vickery, who had become a noted literary critic. We knew we had better leave right away because he would soon start a long discourse about the Cape. We left him with our best regards and soon reached our destination, Hyannis. After a short search we found an information bureau. Seated at the desk were Hazel Pibus and Sue Meola, who took this for a summer job. In the winter they ran seamstress shops. Hazel and Sue informed us that a good motel to stay at was the Longfellow Motel.” However, Hazel and Sue had failed to tell us that Joyce Gothing and Carl Eames owned the motel. They bought it from Arthur Benedict who had given it up to become a great surgeon. It kept Joyce busy in the summer, and in the winter she modeled. Carl was a psychiatrist who had to get away from his patients because they were driving him crazy. After registering and unpacking we were off to the beach. While we were sunbathing and discussing our own positions, Patricia Popowicz mentioned that she was well satisfied in her work as a laboratory techni- cian, and Julianne Salerno commented on how much she enjoyed being a medical secretary for her husband. I (Michele Abladian) thought how happy I was in my work as a pediatrician. Our reminiscing was broken by a loud scream for help ! We saw two lifeguards dash into the water and save the victim. The lifeguards turned out to be Lorraine Fuller and Cliff” Cummings. Lorraine was a kindergarten teacher and Cliff was teaching manual training. We had a long talk with them, and they told us that Gail Lehman was happily married, and June Skantz and Annette Brunelle had good jobs as fashion designers. Larry Silvester had taken up professional wrestling and was doing very well. The day passed quickly. That evening we were restless, so we went out into the cool salty air. As we walked along a street in Hyannis, we met Beaman LePoer, who was vacationing from his government job in Washington. Beaman invited us to join him as hrs guest at the Oyster Harbor Country Club. Starring that evening were the Offbeats.” When the trio came on, we were stunned. On the piano, singing and playing was Becky” Garside, on the bongo drums was Chet” Brigham, and on the stage dancing was Gerry” Meola. After the show we all got together and had a party. We learned that they were touring the United States and becoming quite famous. 24 The next day we took a trip to Provincetown. On the way back Pat” happened to pick up a paper. In the middle of an article she let out a yell, saying that Dolores Anthony had written it. She had become a journalist and had her own column. That night we decided to go to The Theatre By The Sea.” Romeo and Juliet” was playing there. We wanted to see it to bring back high school memories; and by golly — it did! Playing Juliet was Sheila Millin and directing the play was Roy DuPont. Of course, they didn’t use their real names, so we didn’t recognize them at first. After the play we went backstage to say Hello” and also to get a chance to meet the other actors. Back- stage was Nancy Newcomb, now a registered nurse, and Marsha Hilton, a dental hygienist. Also, there were Bruce Goodale, an engineer, and Dana Jackola, a pharmacist. They all met by chance on the Cape, too. After leaving Provincetown, our spacebreaker broke down and we were stranded. We started walking and a kind soul stopped to give us a lift. It turned out to be Joe” Rousseau. What a surprise! He had become an electrical technician. Joe” took us to a gas station, and the mechanic there was Paul Mercadante. At the time he was working on his antique 1950 automobile. Soon the damage was repaired, and in no time we were back in Hyannis. We turned on our radio and heard the weather report by Don” Moore. He then turned the program over to The Happy Little Cook Book Hour,” with the nationally known chef, Douglas Don’t-throw-it- away” Moore. He read an Italian recipe from The Colangelo Cook Book” by Mary Jane Colangelo. Finally we arrived at our motel and rested. As we were dozing off, there was a knock at the door. It was Ligia Matera, who had taken over Mr. Flagg’s job, Aletha Maker, who had become a physical ther- apist, and Dick” Love, who had become a well known bank president. They had met that evening, heard of our whereabouts, and decided to pay us a visit. They told us Carol McGuiggan was in the hospital, so we visited her the following day. Jean Scrimgeour, the receptionist at the hospital, greeted us and told us which room Carol was in. On the way we met Kathy” Sheldon, who had worked her way up to the posi- tion of superintendent of nurses. Sandra Holmes had become the hospital’s head dietician. Carol was pleased to see us, for it had been over fifteen years since we had seen each other. She was leaving the hospital that afternoon. We decided to have a beach party and get in touch with all our classmates whom we had met on our va- cation. There was great excitement, planning the party, and getting in touch with everyone. It was fun to have an unexpected reunion on our vacation. At the party, Janet Gray, Marlene Toloczko, Virginia Beshai, Mary Brunk, and Roger Maddocks sur- prised us. Janet was married and Marlene had become a dancing teacher. Mary was an accountant for Macy’s Department Store in New York City; Virginia had he r own hairdressing shop in Boston. Roger had become a railroad engineer. What started out to be a peaceful vacation turned out to be a reunion of the Class of 1959. 25 ' UtU l Dancing couples ScUfGttfVKZ To our formal Prom, Sayonara, on May 9, 1958, we invited the graduating Senior Class as our hon- ored guests. Five months of diligent work by the six-member committe with continuous cooperation from the entire class prefaced our most spectacular social event. Mr. Phelps assisted in the construction of the elaborate decorations. Radiating from a center- piece of a Japanese garden with a fish pond and pagoda were strands of pink cherry blossoms and gaily colored lanterns. Russ Glynn’s eight piece band played sophisticated music and Brenda Leger, a grad- uating Senior, was crowned Queen and graced our Ball with a beautiful headdress of roses. Refreshments were served continuously during the evening. We relaxed and danced and were gay and then feasted at a supper party at Red Coach Grill in Framingham as a closing to an evening long to be remembered.

A final check before curtain time. Tommy Green in revolt. 28 Early last fall the Seniors began rehearsing for their play, ' ' Time Out For Ginger.” The plot revolves around Ginger, a sixteen year old high school Sophomore, who plays on the school football team. When she receives na- tional notoriety by having her picture appear on the cover of Life Magazine, a series of events unfolds which erupts into many family difficulties. After two months of practice with Mr. Mc- Grail, our remarkable director, and a dress rehearsal for the elementary school children the production was ready for the public. On Friday evening, November 21, 1958, the Class of 1959 scored a smashing success before a capacity crowd of students, faculty, and townspeople. The triumph was the prod- uct of the combined hard work of the produc- tion crew, under the supervision of Mr. Phelps and Mr. Smalanskas, the cast, the director, and the class advisors.

Muffled by pine boughs floated the soft music of Ethel Waterfield and her Band. During the Grand March the Queen and her Court were chosen. Patricia Popowicz reigned as Queen with Dolores Anthony, Marsha Hiltonj Ligia Matera, and Marlene Toloczko as attendants. During intermission we relaxed at festively decorated tables and enjoyed tasty refreshments. A gay Grand March renewed the dancing which ended all too soon at the Cinderella hour of midnight. 30 I Dancing couples 31 SEATED, left to right: Kathryn Sheldon (Treasurer), Marsha Hilton (Secretary).

THIRD ROW, left to right: Douglas Moore (Manager), Mr. O’Connor (Coach). West Boylston’s Cross Country Team opened its season with a meet against Shrewsbury. Although we lost, 27-28, we showed great promise. Following that defeat, we won over. Douglas, 47-16; Hopedale, 49-17; and Uxbridge, 28-26, before bowing to Milford 29-26. Once again, we rebounded to whip Oxford and Spencer in a triangular meet. Then we lost to Grafton 32-24, and to Bellingham in the last league meet of the season. Our captain, Roger Maddocks, placed first in four of these meets and second in the other four. His performance was quite a teat and Stubby deserves high praise, for his running was an inspiration to the other members of the team. John Vickery also did remarkably well for a first-year man. The remaining members of the team included Earl and Richard Meola, Wolf- gang Bauer, Ronald Pichierri, Donald Moore, Larry Silvester, Richard Love, Douglas Moore, Holt Whiting, and Dana Jackola. Much credit goes also to our capable Manager, Douglas Moore. Before winding up the season, we traveled to Holden and participated in the Wachusett Regional Invitational Meet. This meet was held under extreme weather and ground conditions, but the boys did well despite the mud and rain. Roger Mad- docks placed tenth and after scraping the mud off the fifteenth runner, he was identified as John Vickery. We closed the season by running in the South Central League Meet at Oxford. We placed third in the race, which included eight teams, and we also finished third in the final league standings. Many thanks go to Coach O’Connor, who did a truly outstanding job in leading the team through a highly successful season.

The Varsity and Junior Varsity teams started practicing soon after school opened, under the coaching of Mrs. Maynard and Mrs. Swan son. Though the team started out with many new first string players, they came through the season with a record of five wins, three losses, and three ties. The first game with Millbury was discouraging. Our team lost 4-0. After a few afternoons of practice, we rallied back to defeat North- boro, 2-1. At the next game we lost to Auburn, 5-0, but defeating South- boro presented no problem. Our team won, 3-0. Again the team matched ability with Millbury. We held them scoreless in the first half, but they pulled ahead in the second, defeating us 3-0. We defeated Southboro again, 2-1, and Northbridge, 2-1. When we met Auburn again, we took them by surprise, winning 2-0. The season ended with three ties: two with Grafton, both 0-0, and one with Northbridge, 2-2. High Scorers for the season were Bonnie Goodale, the Captain, and Virginia Beshai. Congratulations go to all the members of the team with special thanks to Mrs. Maynard and Mrs. Swanson for their excellent coaching.

The Boys’ Varsity Basketball team compiled a 6 win- 11 loss record. Led by Captain Larry Silvester, the Lions performed well, and many of the losses were heartbreakers dropped by only three or four points. The team was twice defeated by Millbury in overtime play. We finished in third place in the Blackstone Valley League. Harold Vick- ery and Wolfgang Bauer served as managers of the Varsity, and Fred Crowley managed the Junior Varsity. Don Moore was the season’s high scorer with 210 points. Coach O’Connor again piloted the boys through the season with patience and understanding. Mr. Duby coached the Jun- ior Varsity to 8 victories and 9 defeats. We finished the season by playing in the Smaller Schools division of the Clark Tournament. After handily defeating Douglas in the opener, we moved into the semi-finals to overcome North- boro. In the finals we bowed to Leicester, thus winning second place.

Next season’s outlook for the Lionesses is bright since Coach Swanson is building a well drilled Varsity ' Squad, and Mrs. Maynard has developed promising Junior Varsity players. Mary Jane Colangelo served as man- ager of the Junior Varsity while Patricia Cousins was Varsity manager. Bonnie Goodale was Varsity high scorer. GAMES AND SCORES Date Opponent Varsity Score J.V.

At basketball games the gymnasium resounded with the voices of eight cheerleaders. We carried a reserve of two girls on the squad. The auditorium still echoes from the lusty shouts raised in practice drills on the stage. Captain of the team was Aletha Maker; Helen Garside was co-captain. Mrs. Maynard and Miss Cogswell, our advisors, worked long and hard helping us to co-ordinate our cheers and compose new ones. The climax of our busy season was the Spencer Cheerleaders Tournament in April in which we executed a four minute skit demonstrating our cheers and stunts. Pep rallies at assemblies helped to arouse enthusiastic support by the student body for our Basketball team, and on game nights we shouted to add to the success of the evening.

M. Harrington, A.M., of Amherst College.” Its existence was short-lived for in 1863, after a twenty-week term, in which the teacher was paid $196.00, the school was discontinued because of irregular attendance. During the ensuing fourteen years the town maintained no high school; a student could progress only through grammar school. Without changing the curriculum, in 1877, the School Committee changed the names of the two grammar schools from the Oakdale Grammar School to the Oakdale High School and the Central Grammar School to the Central High School. Through the merging of these two schools the Central High School, described as of higher grade,” was formed in 1881; its first class was graduated in 1883. The Central High School flourished as a regular high school until 1903, when it was forced to close because of the construction of the Wachusett Reservoir. In providing school facilities for the newly depopulated community, a consolidated school was constructed on Goodale Street in 1903. This Goodale Street School, which housed the grammar school and also the high school, was advanced for its day and contained a physics-chemistry laboratory. In the 1920’s, a portable school was erected on Prospect Street to serve as a high school for students in that area. Recognizing the need for a new high school, in 1935, the town voted to build a high school on land donated by Major Victor E. Edwards, a distinguished citizen of the town. The school, named the Major Victor E. Edwards High School, was opened in 1936, and graduated its first class in June, 1937. As the town grew, Major Edwards High School became overcrowded and in 1954, the town voted to discontinue its high school and to tuition its students to the Wachusett Regional High School in Holden. For three years, un- til the town built a new Junior-Senior high school, the high school students attended Wachusett Regional. On the eve of its 150th anniversary, ia September, 1957, the town opened the West Boylston Junior-Senior High School for students in the seventh through twelfth grades. The Class of 1959 is the seventy-sixth class to graduate from high school in West Boylston. The Goodale Street School and the Major Edwards School, both now used as grammar schools, are living reminders of the four generations who have preceded us in receiving a West Boylston secondary school education. (Pictured on this page and the following pages are some of the buildings which have served West Boylston as high schools.) 65 GOODALE STREET SCHOOL Served as a High School from 1903 to 1936 66 CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL Served as a High School from 1877 to 1903 MAJOR VICTOR E.
