MASSACHUSETTS 01583 CHARLES N LaPRADE, Principal To write that today ' s world is one of turmoil and upheaval would be to minimize the situation our youth face today. In my many years of association with young people, it seems to me that I have never witnessed a time such as this when so many complex problems will face you. We seem to be on the threshhold of a new scientific age, a completely different social era, and indeed vast changes in our entire geographical complex. This future all holds great promise and excitement . . . but as with any revolutionary change, difficulties arise which at times seem insoluble. To those of us in a past era, the scenes seem to be changing so swiftly that a bewildering pro- cession of acts stream by. Yes .... there will be challenges ... difficulties.... exciting ... breathtaking. It is indeed a new generation. We can only hope that we in education have assisted in preparing you to meet these challenges. We pray that you will face the demands of this new world. We fret., and yet we have an innate confidence in our students and in our young people which makes us optimistic for the future. You are an important part of our life, and we must have faith in you!

The Three Stooges” “very mysterious” 34 Class History As the autumn of 1964 approached, the allied class of 1968 commenced its long, hard battle through a four year world war. Ranking off icers during the first phase of the war were Jane Holmberg, Neil Gibree, Francis St. Andre, Chris Smith, Reg Fisk, and Richard Rousseau. Our first battle was the freshman dance held in October on Friday the 13th. Need we say more? Our plan for victory was to overthrow the already established upper classmen. We began by infiltrating the members of our forces into the sports scene. In field hookey, Nancy Ela, Pat Adams, Linda Johnson, Lyn Conforti, Sheila Martineit, Janice Johnson, and Mary Mulryan spoke softly and carried a big stick. Andy Kelly, Les Fisher, Reg Fisk, and Jud Hunt kept the ball rolling during basketball season by constantly torpedo- ing the basket to blow apart the opposition. As we neared the end of our first year of combat, we felt we needed a change of strategy. Our new leaders were Reg Fisk, Cheryl Merritt, Marlene White, Neil Gibree, and Dick Rousseau. Nancy Ela took over the treasury when Francis St. Andre deserted to the other side. To boost the morale of the troops we held another dance which was attended mostly by Mr. Richard O’Connor’s squad (who were promised ten extra points in history). Half way through the battle we decided that we needed reinforcements and called in language specialist Rick Mcllvain, “hatchet” man Gary Hall, Cathy Judd, and Marion Nichols. We did have a few deserters such as John Brustlin, Joel Pasquale, Joel Phelps, Ricky Gardner, and Dana Strong who decided to make a run for it on the cross country team. Our basketball players also enjoyed a little glory as they left Sgt. Ekblom to move to the front lines, amid the cheering of Susan Spiro, Chris Smith, Lyn Conforti, Linda Johnson, and Nancy Veshi. The second year of battle was completed by burning down the barracks. Our commanders for the third phase of our battle were Reg Fisk, Cheryl Merritt, Lyn Conforti, and Nancy Ela. Re-elected to the Student Council were Dick Rousseau and Neil Gibree. Our annual quarters dance was quite a success. Approximately twelve members of our allied forces attended (half of which consisted of our elderly officers, chaperones). In our third year of battle, we had two more recruits, W.A.C. Diane Willison and B.S.A. Lee Danielian. In November the music portion of our battalion put on its first variety show. Our third year veterans who participated were Francis Tambolleo, John Mercurio, Dennis Deyo, Susan Spiro, and Marlene White. Master of Ceremonies Scott Williams helped to make the night a success. The previous year’s starting basketball troops returned for another year of active duty. Their month of pre-season boot camp proved to be very rewarding. The climax of the great season was when our troops showed their powerful skills to the opposition, Westboro, while winning the league title. After a crushing defeat at the Clark Tourna- merit, we retreated to march through the District 3 and come out number one. To earn a little money for quarters, a candy sale was run which turned out to be a sweet success. That same year of active duty, Commander-in-Chief LaPrade fulfilled his inner desire to become a traffic control officer when he announced his campaign to promote pedestrian safety for our troops by enforcing his one way traffic program in the corridor. This not only caused mass confusion for the regiments, but also put many of them in the brig. The third year was climaxed by the Junior prom entitled “Aquamarina”. Thanks to Cheryl Merritt, general chairman of the event, and many other hardworking platoons, the occasion proved to be a success. Lyn Larabee was crowned queen while four other senior girls took places on her court. For the last phase of the war, the junior class regime again returned for the final excursion. Having faired efficiently in many campaigns, they prepared their strategy for a final crushing victory. The athletes of ' 68, although tired and battered, put forth their last bit of energy into the battle and came through with a remarkable performance. To entertain the troops, a talented squad of actors, including Sharon Mercier and Dana Strong, put on a play, “The Perfect Idiot”. The production required a great “deal” of hard work from both the director and the cast. Other entertainment included “Ad Inferos”, the Senior Ball. This event turned out to be a smashing success. This final year of battle involved many conflicts among the troops themselves, but all matters were straightened out before we finally graduated into higher ranks. During four years of battle at West Boylston High School, the class of 1968 fought a long and difficult campaign. Together, we overcame unsurmountable obstacles which will give us courage and determination in any future endeavers. Susan Spiro, Linda Johnson, Dana Strong, and Neil Gibree 36 “Lookit, the longhairs!” “I’m going to move here to Greenwich Village and become a hippie.” . . alone and bewildered . . . We caught you this time, John “Hey, teach!!!” 37 PROPHECY Lightning and sparks were visible from every direction and slowly the world sank. Panicky people were wildly screaming; and among them Marlene White could be heard screeching, “What happened? What happened? Tell me, I want to know what hap- pened!” In the background Dennis Deyo’s Church Group, accompanied by the famous trumpet maestro, Jeff Hanks, could be heard playing “The Eve of Destruction.” The cause of the world’s destruction was brought about by some extraordinary experiments of David Wolons. The Civil Defense Evacuation Committee, headed by Chief Norman “Bill” Stewart, ordered everyone underground, Chaos quickly resulted, but our Kevin O ' Neil and John Mecurio, now full-fledged policemen, came to the rescue with their whistles and badges. Throughout the chaos, John Kim could be seen taking pictures which he said would go down in history. The multitudes stampeded to the portals of the underground world that was to be their temporary abode. To their horror, the doors were barred and their admittance to safety was obstructed. This crisis was quickly resolved, however, when Lana Ciociolo and Diane Willison gave a call for help, now known as “the call heard round the world.” Elizabeth Ahlquist and Craig Gallupe quickly appeared on the scene and speedi ly slithered under the door to save the world from their horrible plight. When all of the citizens of the world slowly became settled, it became necessary for them to prepare themselves for a new life. First of all, a government had to be estab- lished in order to keep peace. The people elected as their highest official Reginald Fisk; and chosen as Vice President was Steven Quist, who was still fighting for the underdog. Reggie selected a cabinet which consisted of: Cheryl Merritt as Secretary of Communi- cation; Nancy Ela as Secretary of the Treasury, and with her was her protege, Judson “Juddie” Hunt. Head of the Railroad department was Richard Rousseau; while the Department of Transportation was run by Robert Soule and Donald DiPasquale, who carted everyone around. Neil Gibree was selected as head of the Public Relations Council. Kathy Varner, very knowledgeable of law, was chosen as Attorney General. The Department of Physical Education was run by Kathy and Karen Leonardi, who were still opposing each other in every sport. The Department of Sanitation was led by Nancy Veshi who was assisted by Lynn Makela. The most important office, however, was the Department of Delinquency, which was led by the hardened criminal, “Opium” Den McCool. To judge the lawbreakers, Neil Beckett, Thomas Hayes, and Charles Coughlin were employed. The Women’s Ward was headed by Gwen Arslen assisted by Darlene Lehman, and Eileen McManus. Pat Adams was in charge of stolen vehicles. As the crime rate increased, the criminals were quickly silenced by the deadly “Hatch- et,” operated by Gary Hall. Under this trustworthy government, the community flourished and it soon became famous for its abundance in wildlife. In the local jungle we find David Lawrence tending his animals, especially those babes in the woods. Caretakers of the zoo included the “cool” Leslie Fisher in charge of moose and tunas, and also Richard Shepard who cared for the apes. Bulls were looked after by Lee Danielian, who, by the way, was also the local taleteller. Extinct Dodo birds were kept under the tender care of Stephen Dolan, and Ronald Smith could always be seen with his beavers. A language barrier arose among the different races of people, and it soon became necessary to establish a school because of this. Kevin O’Connor was principal of the school and Robert Jacobson, under the alias of Jake, was vice principal. Millions of students flocked to hear the teaching of Dr. James Bonci who was most noted for his extensive lectures on Bailey’s history. Professor of French was Janice Johnson who was also noted for her first hand knowledge of all events. Janet Webster was chosen as professor of English and frequently used her own edition of Webster ' s Dictionary. Ann Pratillo was made head of the Art Department. Among the brownies of the school were Sharon Mercier and Karen Bottomly. Many severe problems occurred in the first year of living underground; mainly that of starvation. The National Supermarket, owned and operated by Bob McCabe was supplied by Marie Giobellina’s Farm Products and Dairy Products, Inc. The Employees included Michael Berry, Randy Keith, Linda Johnson, and Theresa Meola, who were completely baffled by this problem. Deborah Goodness, Lillian Williams, and Cathy Judd, famed reporters from Jane Holmberg’s national newspaper, stated that the cause of the problem was a blond named Judy Allen. It seems she had devoured practically all the food in existence, especially those hamburgers made by Michael MacDonald. A brunette named Carolyn Carlson also contributed to the problem as she had the habit of devouring hamburgers and french fries at Kemps after long extensive hunts through the community. Buildings were to be seen popping up in all sections of the underworld. As a result of this, the famous constructor, William DePatsy, was kept constantly busy. A Home for the Aged was contracted by Bob Holm and was run by Judy Fontaine and Jack Bryce. New factories also appeared, such as the Scott Williams Firm which produced paper towels and the Sandra Almstrom Wax Factory. A camp for the youngsters was started by Diane Wilmont who was most experienced in camp counseling. Mary Jane Mulryan started a Doug Ranch. Time progressed, and after a year had gone by, two distinct groups appeared: the Hippies, under the control of Joel Pasquale and Dana Strong; and the Hypo’s who were led by Robert Rudman and Francis Tambolio. The two groups came to a clash and it soon became evident that one must rule and one must move out. Kathy Bohl, volun- teered to see if the world up above was fit for living. However, the rules of her charm course could not be put aside and so she asked for male assistance. The brave and fearless Carl Bonci, Steve Carlson, and Thomas Hughes quickly volunteered for the job. After the journey was completed and the world was found safe to live in, the Hippies made their trip to the upper world. Their world became one of giant happen- ings, especially at Joanne Durham’s house. Kathy Leek, Jane Morris, Pam White, and Sharon Maynard were the life of these psychedelic parties. Card playing was prominent and the champion was “Ace” David Robinson. Enormous sums of money were at stake at every deal. Marion Nichols was present as a change maker while onlooker Greg Johnson always ran home and told of doings. The main hippy hangout was Spi’s Donut Chateau, owned and operated by the toughened Susan Spiro. Vaughn Volungis, Lenny Thibedeau, Richard Cimato, and Michael Orne were regular customers. Thanks to the extensive efforts of Richard Gardner, the grass was always richer on our side of the world. Parties were extremely prominent in this upper world. Sheila Casamasina along with her “John” sneakers, could be seen at a party given by Justice of the Peace Robert Bjorn. Denise Burlingame was seen running and screaming, “Wait, wait, Roger Waite!” It was too late, however, for Roger was last seen driving off in a Brian Ford Special. John Herrmann had been invited but could not make it because “the weather was too treacherous.” Linda Batt and Debbie Goodness were able to attend the party. Observing these incidents were Andrew Akstin and Beverly George who just stood by and remarked, “Very mysterious, by George!” The Hippies of the upper state and the Hypos of the lower one lived happily ever after in their own individual worlds. Being of rather unstable mind and sickly student body, we, the class of 1968, declare this to be our last will and testament. Article I To the class of 1969, we leave the balance of our treas- ury-in other words, nothing! To the class of 1970 — we leave you wallowing in the mire of your own conceit. To the class 1971, we leave all our old cheat sheets. Best of luck with ’em, they didn’t help us any. Article II 1.

CLASS OFFICERS Treasurer, Sharon Atchue; Vice President, Catherine Stiles; Student Council, Heather Graham; Student Council, Suzanne Simon; President, Christopher Salter; Secretary, Deborah Condon At the termination of our Sophomore Year we elected our Junior Class officers. They are as follows: President; Kit Salter, Vice President; Cathy Stiles, Treasurer; Sharon Atchue, Secretary; Debbie Condon, and Student Council Representatives; Sue Simon and Heather Graham. Proving to be competent leaders they helped organ- ize. and execute a successful sale of Zip Code Books. This was different from the normal Junior Class Candy sale and proved to boost our class treasury over an additional two hundred dollars. During the basketball season we sold candy at all the home games. Immediately following the Christmas vacation we got started on committee meetings. Our Junior Prom, based on the movie “The Wizard of Oz”, proved to be the major highlight of our Junior Year. Under the able direction of the chairman, Cathy Stiles, the evening of May 10 proved to be what we think has been the best Junior Prom yet. Leading our class in sports were Tim French, Jim Larabee, Ed LaVigne, Ed Connors, Dick Butler, Bob Brustlin, Jim Carnes, Ed Parszk, Dick O’Neil, Gary Orciani, and Mark Fratantonio. For the feminine out- look on sports were: Sue Chapman, Janet Berry, Jane Marsolais, Sharon Atchue, Deb Condon, Della Leo- nardi, Paula Geier, Cathie Stiles, Chris Wilson, Gail Leonard, Linda Despres and Marie Cronin. Many other members of the class were active in clubs or enthusiastic fans at sporting events. With the successful Junior Year behind us we look forward to an even more successful Senior Year.

The Class of 1971 will be one of the best classes that has ever come along. Our class has good leaders which were elected earlier in the year, they are as follows: President; John Marrone, Vice President; Paula McKeogh, Secretary; Lisa Conforti, Treasurer; Susan Howe. The class officers will try and make the following years some of the best years known. The Class of 1971 has some excellent basketball prospects with players like Ken Bohlin, Jim Moorefield, Paul Ciociolo, Jim Connor, Don Bonci, Art Gray, John Marrone, Dennis Mulryan, Steve Esonis, Paul Rotti, and others. The officers of the Class of 1971 also wish the Class of 1971 good luck in the following years. West Boylston’s own swinger!

The play concerned a high school star athlete who was in danger of being dropped from the team unless his grades improved. With the help of his friends, especially Dan Tennyson, Central High School is led to victory. The actors cannot be given enough praise for the wonderful job they did. The cast and production staff were very cooperative and did an excellent job in the preparation, both off stage and on. Preparing the play itself took about two and a half months, while preparing the scenery, props, and costumes took about three weeks. We are all very grateful to all who made this year’s play the success that it was, and we particularly thank Mrs. Deal for her guidance and patience. Sue assists with make-up. Don’t forget the mascara. 76 Senior Play Cast. “Ooooh — this is very confusing!” “What’s going on in here?” 77 “How would you do it, Dan?” That ' s how you do it! Eternal bliss.

Without the members of the class of 1968 pictured on this page, the 1968 Lion’s Roar would never be. Each committee worked diligently to produce their own section which contributed to the presentation of the complete history of the Senior Class and the entire school. Many long hours were spent in creating this book, and the class owes a special debt of gratitude to the Editors and members of the Business Staff. But the man behind the scenes, our advisor, Mr. Begley, has given us invaluable help in writing and in organizing the product before you. Although words are insufficient, we take this opportunity to express our sincere thanks for all his guidance. The 1968 edition of the Lion’s Roar is finally com- pleted and we feel that we can be proud of a project well done. 92 EDITORS: Richard Rousseau, Cheryl Merritt, Debbie Goodness BUSINESS STAFF: Cathy Judd, Jane Holmberg, Steve Quist ART EDITOR: Vaughn Volungis PHOTOGRAPHY EDITORS: John Kim, Pat Adams GIRLS’ SPORTS EDITOR: Mary Mulryan BOYS’ SPORTS EDITOR: Jack Bryce, Kevin O’Connor SENIOR WRITE-UPS COMMITTEE Marlene White (Chairman) Reg Fisk (Chairman) Eileen McManus Judy Allen Richard Gardner Steve Carlson Jane Morris Kathy Varner Dave Wolons Janet Webster Linda Batt Sandy Hjelm SUPERLATIVES COMMITTEE Nancy Veshi (Chairman) Bob McCabe Ann Pratillo ORGANIZATIONS COMMITTEE Kathy Leek (Chairman) Bob Jacobson Bob Holm ACTIVITIES COMMITTEE Janice Johnson (Chairman) Marie Giobellina Dennis McCool UNDERCLASSMEN COMMITTEE Lynn Makela (Chairman) Carolyn Carlson Kevin O’Neil CLASS WILL COMMITTEE Nancy Ela (Chairman) John Herrman Sharon Mercier Mike Berry Don DiPasquale Pam White CLASS HISTORY COMMITTEE Sue Spiro (Chairman) Linda Johnson Neil Gibree Dana Strong CLASS PROPHECY COMMITTEE Lyn Conforti (Chairman) Scott Williams Sheila Martineit John Brustlin Chris Smith TYPISTS Lana Ciociolo (Chairman) Diane Willison Kathy Leonardi Marion Nichols Lynn Makela Denise Burlingame Karen Leonardi Elizabeth Ahlquist Lillian Williams Sharon Pasquale Joanne Durham 93 NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY ROW ONE: N.

The officers of the West Boylston Chapter of the National Honor Society for the academic year 1967-1968 were: Richard Rousseau (Presi- dent), Nancy Ela (Vice President), Kathy Leek (Secretary), Cathy Judd (Treasurer). Chosen on the basis of character, scholarship, leadership, and service, the new inductees were installed at the formal ceremonies held in the early spring. All society members were honored at the annual banquet. Along with collecting attendance cards each morning for the office, this year’s members instituted a tutorial program under the supervision of Dr. Cecchini. Members of the society participated by donating their free periods to aid interested students in a variety of subject-matter areas. This co-operative effort between member and student proved to be a successful beginning for the societies new service project. “Who’s pulling the skippie today?

These peo- ple are charged with the responsibility of initiating student programs and aiding the administration by performing a vari- ety of functions. One of the most important functions of the Council is to co-ordinate a school fund-raising campaign for scholarships. The annual candy sale was very successful this year and allowed the council to give scholarships to six seniors. Mr. Lane and Dick Rousseau discussing the situation. WEBO ROW ONE: A. Butler, M.

The six issues published each year by the Webo staff are designed to inform the student body of the activities and projects undertaken at WBHS through- out the school year. By comprehensive coverage of the sports events, club activities, and all extra-curricular events, the students are able to gain good experience in journalism while providing a necessary service to the school. A good school paper requires a substantial coopera- tive effort on the part of many students. Several prelimi- naries must be engaged in before a good publication can be issued. In the fall the business staff recruit ads. The art staff and the camera men supplement work done by the reporters for each issue. The student body owes a great deal of thanks to Webo’s editor, Jane Holmberg, for her hours of work spent to assemble material to make each issue its very best. Each spring the Webo staff members attend a con- ference on journalism sponsored by the Worcester Tele- gram and Gazette. The knowledge gained at the conference has proven very beneficial because of its new ideas about high school publications.

The members of the Library Club work two periods each week in service to the student body. Active each day, mem- bers help students to find and check out materials. They also shelve books and magazines as well as repair them. Behind the scenes, the never ending procedures necessary to prepare new books and magazines for circulation keep the members busy. The new Independent Study Area which is used for concentrated study by individual pupils has expanded the library area and allowed more room for storing and displaying magazines. Although meetings are not held regularly, officers were elected in the fall. They were as follows: M. Nichols (Pres.), J. Shusta (V. Pres.), S. Sears (Sec.), E. Carlson (Treas.), L. Gustafson (Decorating Coordinator). Thanks go to Mrs. Canosa and Mrs. Gagnon for their unfailing interest and guidance throughout the year.

Audio-visual aids for teachers are being used more extensively each year in various sub- ject-matter areas. It is the responsibility of the members of the club to coordinate the distribu- tion of equipment as well as to operate the projec- tors when a teacher so desires. The basic equipment used includes motion picture, film strip, and opaque projectors, phonographs, tape recorders, and an over head projector. With the aid of their advisor, Mr. McGrail, the members also take care of reserving movies and films for class room use. The A.V. hangout FRENCH CLUB ROW ONE: D. Lajeunesse, M. Reynolds, C.

This year the French Club explored various aspects of French life. A French play, “Turcaret”, was seen performed by the Treteau de Paris at Assumption Prep. In November, five French students who were studying at Assumption Prep visited our school and discussed activities and customs of the French teen-ager. The traditional Christmas party was held in the cafeteria with a French and Latin program and two “Peres de Noel”. Mr. Boutillette, an apprentice teacher from Worcester State College, showed slides of his recent visit to France at the January meeting. The club voyaged to Fitchburg State College where they saw two French movies in February. The annual trip to Boston in the spring allowed members of the club to sample and enjoy true French Cuisine. As usual, the banquet style buffet provided ample refreshments and enjoyment for all in attendance. Officers elected for the Cercle Francais were: C. Judd (Pres.), N. Ela (V.P.), K. Leek (Treas.), J. John- son (Sec.), M. McKeogh (Program Director), and V. Volungis (Publicity Chairman). 100 DESTINATION: FRANCE Additional entertainment Bonjour, mes amis.

The main objective of the club was to provide its members with a basic knowledge of the development and print- ing of film. Most of the members can take a picture, obtain a clear negative, and print a sharp photograph. The photographs processed by the Camera Club are dis- tributed to various sources. This past year they appeared in the Webo, the Yearbook, the Massachusetts Teacher and on the bulletin boards of various school organizations. In the future the Camera Club plans not only to continue to familiarize its members with basic photography, but also to delve into the field of color processing. 104 Caught you this time, Pat.

The History and Government club was formed in October as a merger of Mr. Gaumond’s Government Club and the History Club under the guidance of Mr. Anderson. The purpose of the club is to encourage the study of history and current events and to develop a sense of historical-mindedness toward world problems. For the spring semester the club sponsored a guest speaker, Mr. Stephen Neale of West Boylston. They also held several discussion meetings concerning current world affairs. All right, who stole my sword? 105 SKI CLUB On their way to an interesting trip at Mt. Wachusett. The Ski Club planned an active season under the leadership of John Brustlin (Pres.), Lisa Conforti (Secretary), and Cathy Stiles (Treasurer). A number of enjoyable and good skiing excursions to “icey” Mount Wachusett in Princeton were sponsored during the snow season. Bus transportation was provided to conduct the “pros” and all their equipment to the ski slopes many an afternoon after a snowfall. The caliber of the skiing done by ski club members continues to improve along with popularity of the sport (only a few minor accidents this year.) Thanks are due to Mr. Maynard for his time and talent so freely given to the club. 106 GRAPHIC ARTS ROW ONE: E. Messier, D. Cimato, R. Edilbert, M. Scales; ROW Marrone; ROW THREE: F. Tambolleo, B.

Members of the Graphic Arts Club gain prac- tical experience by conducting various types of printing projects. By printing programs and infor- mation for various departments of the school, as well as for local community organizations, the club earns a small profit to cover the cost of materials used. Any extra funds are employed to buy equipment for the Graphic Arts Depart- ment. The club members gain most of their knowl- edge about the printing field as students in either the full-time or the part-time Graphic Arts : course. The extra work done provides a new inter- est area for the students while they perform a much appreciated service to the school. Special thanks go to Mr. Wilbur for his patient interest and instruction given so unselfishly. • Fearsome Foursome 107 LATIN CLUB ROW ONE: L. Ernst, L. Pepi, M. Condon, J. Harris, S. Chapman, S.

If so, you are aware of the newly formed Chef ' s Club which joined the ranks of extra-cur- ricular activities at WBHS. Under the supervision of Mrs. Gagel, twelve young men have joined together seeking gastronomical pleasures. After a few practice meals, the boys became quite profi- cient in planning, preparing, serving, and (of course) eating their gourmet masterpieces. Spe- cial projects during the year included a smorgas- bord, luau, and a special dinner for guests. MMMMM Good!! CHORUS Seated: K. Boynton, C. Bonci, S. Quist, J. Hanks, J. Shusta, D. Deyo, J.

Larrabee (Manager), they played admirably throughout the year. They marched first in the C. Y.C. Parade in Worcester and then traveled to the Univ. of Rhode Island to perform at the band day exercises. The remainder of the year’s programs were pre-season Pep Rally, Christmas Assembly, NHS Installation, and Spring Concert. They also marched in both the Memorial Day Parade and the Little League Parade. Thanks are in store for Director Maynard for a musically good year. Liberace II DANCE BAND First Row: K. Boynton, D.

The dance band, which is growing in popularity among both the school musicians and the listening audiences, performed at various functions throughout the academic year. This talented group of musicians practiced once a week during the year to im- prove their repertoire of songs. The “Fall Frolics” variety show proved a good sounding board and demonstrated that all their efforts were worthwhile. Along with their performance in the Spring Concert, the band members, led by Steve Quist, and Jeff Hanks, planned to sponsor a dance for the early spring. We salute Mr. Maynard and his musicians and congratulate them for a “swingin” good year. Chopsticks in C Major. 113 Standing: Mr. Wills (coach), J. Nedder, D. Wilson, J. Paulin, D. Whitney, T.

The 1967 Soccer Team, coached by Mr. Wills and Mr. Renzi, and co-cap- tained by Jack Bryce and Kevin O’Connor logged a respectable 6-6-0 record. It was supposedly a rebuilding year after losing seven starters, but due to the fine play of seasoned veterans with the help of a few new recruits, the Lions managed another good season. The team will be losing some fine players due to graduation; J. Bonci, L. Danielian, K. O’Conner,, J. Bryce, A. Akstin, J. Herrmann, S. Quist, S. Carlson, G. Johnson, and John Kim were the backbone of the defense and spearheaded the offense. Robert Brustlin and Tim French will pilot the team next year. 1 3 , . J o t ' m.

Led by their coach Mr. Garofoli and tri-captains Reg Fisk, Les Fisher, and Jud Hunt the Lions ended regular season play with a fine 16-6 record, thus qualifying them for a spot in the highly regarded District Three play-off. Getting off to a slow start the team dropped two of its first three games but got back on the winning trail when league play began. They won six in a row before a single loss and then won five more in a row finishing a close third in the Southern Worcester County League race. In the annual Clard Tournament the team de- feated Oakmont in their opener then nipped Uxbridge in the semi-finals but lost to Leicester in the final game of the tournament. Jud Hunt led all scorers with a total of 424 points for the season. Les Fisher and Reg Fisk tallied 310 and 186 respectively. Lee Danielian was a great asset to the Lions offense while Dick Shepard did a fine job off the boards and Kevin O’Connor, Dick O’Neil, Ed La- Vigne, and A1 Hunt gave the team the bench strength it needed.

The players deserve much credit and honor for their hustle and the do-or-die method certainly has produced a great team. Standouts for the JV’s were co-captains A1 Hunt and Don Sheperd.

Having all members of the team returning again, Coach Foley anticipates a highly successful season. The nucleus of the squad includes seniors Lee Danielian, Dick Rousseau, Neil Gibree, and Jim Bonci; with Mike DeLiddo representing the Junior Class.

The 1967-1968 girls basketball team had a tremendously outstanding season this year. The team was co-captained by Mary Jane Mulryan and Marie Cronin. Mrs. Schofield, the new coach, who replaced Mrs. Barron did an excellent job of coaching the team. The successful season ended with a record of 8 wins and 4 losses. 134 “Team huddle” “Now what?” 1 “Watch that hand, Della!” VARSITY 38 Algonquin 18 28 Millbury 19 27 Grafton 23 28 Oxford 10 35 West boro 29 14 Leicester 29 29 Algonquin 23 35 Millbury 39 18 Grafton 34 39 North 9 27 West boro 19 23 Leicester 39 “If she would only get out of my way — ” “Let’s get the jump rope out.” “Steal it . . .

Although the year was somewhat below expectations in terms of wins, considering the experience of the team, it can never be denied that the girls played the type of aggressive ball that could have reversed the score in many games. Mrs. Fox, who replaced Mrs. Barron as coach last year, did a fine job in teaching the girls the fundamentals of the game. 136 Paulette throws another strike Looks like a home-run 137 London Bridge is falling down . . . falling down . . . to 138 Up up and away . . . • ; ■M- ' Take one giant step . . .
