Fully realizing that each of us will Travel in separate directions after gradua- tion, we sincerely hope that all will reflect in their vocations the knowledge and ideals gained through the instruction and guidance of parents and teachers. The theme which we have endeavored to depict is aptly expressed in the following quotation: Travel, in the younger rorl, li cz part of eclncaliong in lbe elcler, cz pnrl of experience. He that crcwellezlo into cz country before be hath rome entrance inlo the lczngzcage, goeflo to school, czncl not to trcwel.

Theylve taught us right from wrong, their patience never ceased, And as the days and years went by, their hopes for us increased. When we fell and bruised our knees, Mom wiped away our tears, And when we were afraid of the dark, Dad banished all our fears. They've been more than just parents, theylve been more than just a friend, Always there ready and waiting when you wanted to confide in them. Now that we are young adults in our senior year, We think back to all the things they've done-pen haps we shed a tear. Love and understanding holds much more wealth than gold. Our parents have given us these things and more, forever to have and hold. CAROL BACON ul Q I- 1 1 Jr It e ' or ef i T f c 1 ,L 1, i 1 1' , vv '8'b'5'6'4'VVg SW p gtg?g.g.+,o,nwwQe L..

WALTER K. HJELM Principal B.S., M.Ed., Boston University. Superintenclenfs Message It is a sincere and very deep and lasting pleasure for me to extend to you this greeting from the administration of the schools upon the completion of your years of education here. We extend to you best wishes for your future success and hap- piness, in your advanced study, in your economic endeavor and in your family life. We ask that you always remember that you graduate from your work here, leaving not only many friends among your classmates, but that you have gained the many deep and lasting friendships among the faculty members who will always be happy to be of assistance to you if, and when, the need ever arises. May God Bless You now and in the many years of your life ahead. STANLEY W. WRIGHT Principal' s Message Success in life has a different meaning for every individual. True success lies in the successful pursuit of happiness. True happiness can only be achieved through peace of mind. Peace of mind can only be achieved when one is at peace with his God and gives of himself more than he receives. The path to the above is through education as described by Mrs. Anna jameson. The true purpose of education is to cherish and unfold the seed of immortality already sown within us, to develop, to their fullest extent, the capacities of every kind with which the God who made us has endowed us.'i WALTER K.

I 72 M emorzczm WILLIAM BURNS lI101!, 2Q'r I 903 ---Den-vrfber-26 . 179.56- During the Christmas recess, the administration and student body at West Springfield High School suffered a great loss in the sudden death of Mr. Wlilliam Burns. As director of industrial arts and vocational education at West Springfield High School for many years, Mr. Burns was respected by all who were acquainted with him. Born in Leominster, Massachusetts, in june of 1906, Mr. Burns attended grammar schools in Leominster and was graduated from Worcester Trade School. He received his Bachelor of Arts degree from Fitchburg State Teachers College and his Masters degree from the University of Massachusetts. l-le came to West Springfield in September, 1925, as a teacher in industrial arts in the public schools. At a memorial service in his honor, the following poem was selected to be read as a fitting tribute to the spirit of Mr. Burns: BE TRUE Thou mmf he Irzze Ihyrelf, I f lhozz the truth zmlzldrf reach: Thy mul mutt overflow, if lhou Anofhefr mul wauldri reach! Il needy the orferflow of heart T0 give ihe lipr full rpeerh. Think truly, and thy thoughts' Shall the worldir famine feealj Speak lruly. and each word of fhifle Shall he K1 fruilffzl .veedg Lire Iruly. and thy life rhall he A grenl and fmhle creed. -Horatius Bonar I2 Class of 1957 At last,the ultimate goal anticipated for years has been attained. We are now the seniors, the upper classmen! It is difficult to recollect all of the numerous activities that we enjoyed with our classmates, however, let us seize this last opportunity to enumerate some of the memorable events of our past history. First came the election of our class officers in ninth grade-a week of intense campaigning ending in the election of Steve Sartori, president, Joan Daubitz, vice president, Louise Morin, treasurer, and Sandy Kinkade, secretary. All of us participated in the class meetings, the dances, the parties, and the selection of pins and rings. The year came to a successful close with our graduation exercises. Awards were presented on Graduation Day to lileanor Curran, Latin Award, joan Daubitz and Harold Levenson, American Legion Awards, and Sandy Kinkade, Balfour Key. Remember the sadness in our hearts as we left the junior high forever? Next we experienced mixed emotions upon our initiation into the high school. Then as the year progressed we realized how very fond we had grown of our new environment and how much we looked forward to the school activities. The leaders chosen to guide us through this sophomore year were, Steve Sartori, presidentg joan Daubitz, vice president, George Galiotsis, treasurer, and Sandy Kinkade, secretary. Mr. Robert Ryan acted as our class advisor. As our pride and self-importance grew, we juniors under the leadership of the same class officers and Mr. Gordon Vye, took advantage of our new opportunities. High- lighting the year was our junior-Senior Promenade, but of no less importance to us were class meetings, food sales, dances, and sports. And of course, the momentous occasion when we selected our high school rings. 1956-1957 finds us no longer the underclassmen, but leaders in our elaborate modern new high school. The election of the same officers started us off on the most notable I4 year of our lifetime, complete with plans and preparations for the yearbook, calendar, food and holly sales, class play, class pictures, and graduation. The junior-Senior Promenade and Senior Class Banquet brought us to the end of our high school years. Credit should be extended to Mr. Herbert Bartlett for his aid in making this year a success. Because this is the final year it is necessary that we take time out to prepare for our future goals-whether attending college or engaging in work. We look ahead toward graduation with eager anticipation. May those who follow in our footsteps enjoy the experience and knowledge which we have been so very fortunate to obtain. To them We offer our best wishes, and a word of advice. The advice is that you take advantage of your high school years equally through work and play. Now as we are about to leave high school, our thoughts must necessarily turn to the education we have received for entrance into untried fields. Have we made the most of our twelve years under the guidance of our teachers? Are we prepared for the new responsibility we are about to assume? It is our sincere belief that our experiences and training in West Springfield High School have helped lead us to the goals which we have set for ourselves. What are these goals! Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are our birth- rights, but the responsibility for maintaining these rights is our particular duty. May we all dedicate ourselves to the task of trying to make this world of ours a better world because of our presence. Let us not mouth idle promises, but go forth with the sincere desire to lead others into the paths where we have been led and to go forth with those who have guided our footsteps.

Under the direction of Mr. Richard Medura, Audio Visual Aids has taken on an important aspect in the new school. A large staff of boys and girls has been operating the movie projectors and the tape recorders for the teachers. The department ran the sound system for the football and basketball games as well as for special events in the school system. In the fall the Audio Visual Aids Department made a special recording for the baritone-soloists of the Navy Band, and in his opinion the recording could not have been duplicated in a major professional recording studio.

This year the Ski Club proved to be one of the most active clubs at W.S.H.S. A separate Ski Team was formed by the hardiest members of the club who skied weekends at Stan BroWn's in Cummington. The team also participated in the Berkshire Ski Meet on February 8 and 9. The club made use of the natural ski area in back of the academic wings whenever good ski conditions prevailed. 75 Future Teachers of America Sponsored by the West Springfield Teachers' Association, The Future Teachers of America Club was organized and granted a National Education Association charter in May. 1956. Time was too short for the charter members to do more than name their club in honor of Mrs. Elizabeth Tirrell, former teacher of languages in the West Springfield High School, and to obtain a charter. This year, Miss Alice Hinckley, advisor, invited all who were interested in becoming teachers to attend a preliminary meeting in October, when plans for the future were outlined. The officers elected in November are: Deborah Steele. president: Peggy Orwell, vice presidentg Sue Butler, secretaryg and Jerrie Payson, treasurer. junior members of the club have an opportunity to visit a class in one of our elementary schools one afternoon each week from 2:00 PM until the school in question closes. The senior members whose marks warrant are permitted one full day a month for such xisits. Those who have been taking advantage of this opportunity have been enthusiastic about their visits.

The West Springfield Chapter of the Future Farmers of America is only a small part of a national organization of high school students who desire to make some branch of farming their occupation. The schooling of these boys does not end in June but continues throughout the summer when they go to work on farms in the state in order to gain valuable practical experience. During the fall they attend fairs and assist in the judging of various exhibits. 76 117-415175, fl .,. C Ilaiqgllwv , 1 A A 77 Varsity Football Team First row: A. Marini, UI. Falleti. D. Sanocki.

The varsity won the Western Massa- chusetts AA championship by compiling a 7-0-0 record. Featured during the season was the stellar play of Dave Bishop, triple-threat halfback, and Carm Biagini, the quarterback. Carm kept the team in full swing with his timely signal calling. Bishop held the record for the most yardage gained and was also voted the outstanding player in the Western Massachusetts area. It is impossible, however, for performers such as Bishop and Biagini to play to their capacity without the help of the linemen. Four of the whales recognized for their outstanding play were: Dick Fullam, Paul Quaglini, Timmy Connors, and Steve Sartori. Their blocking and all-around defensive plays contributed greatly to the success of the team. Other members of the Red Shirts first string were Danny Hayes and jim Falleti, two hard runners, who picked up valuable yardage in key spots. Phil jensen. Al Marini, and Dick johnson were standout defensive aces. Dick Sanocki, Ron Tatro, and Dick Caravaggi also were great assets whose lineplay was superb throughout the season. As a team the Terrier unit functioned to a T, as shown by their record. Seniors who will graduate include: Co-Captains, Dave Bishop and Carin Biagini, Danny Hayes, Steve Sartori, Dick Fullam, Paul Quaglini, Dick Caravaggi, Dick johnson, Tom Vetal, and Charlie Connors.

The basketball team completed the 1956-57 season by compiling a 10-8 record. This included a 7-3 Valley Wheel score which gave the Terriers a second place in the League. In non-league games, a 5-5 record was run up. The season was marked with ups and downs, Our team made excellent showings against Northampton, Westfield, and Enfield, at homeg but met trouble against such strong contenders as Cathedral, Classical, Tech, and St. Marys Featured throughout the season were Co-Captains, Felix Anziano and Steve Sartori, two hustlers. The dead eye of Robin Palmer and the tremendous rebounding power of Harold Levenson strengthened the team immensely. Two other seniors, joe La-Valley and Danny Hayes, helped the team out of tight spots and proved of great value to the team. Coach Burt Butters has an excellent nucleus ol' players returning to bolster the team in next seasons games. Included are: joe Brislin, Amedio Golfierei, Peter Richardson and Rusty McCarroll.

Second row: Coach Shields. Pendleton, D. Pearson, Betera. Our baseball team rounded out the 1956 season by winning the Valley Wheel Cham- pionship and establishing an overall 16-4 record. Coach Bob Shields' forces also advanced to the quarter final of the Western Massa- chusetts Baseball Tournament, only to be beaten by a veteran Cathedral team. The senior-studded squad played a uhustlingu type of ball game which earned them the respect of many teams in Western Massachusetts. The 1956 seniors who were the Ubackbonen of the team included: Craig Simpson, Carm Daniele, Fred Kulik, Donald Niedzielski, Dave Parent, co-captains Otis Rutherford, and Otto Welker. The 1957 team included: Ron Kuhnel, relief pitcher, Bob Lodi, catcher, Ron Tatro, first base, Rusty McCarroll, catcherg Harold Gagne, shortstop, Bob Pendleton, and Dave Pearson, pitchers, and Steve Sartori, infield. The February deadline for the yearbook made it impossible for reporting the 1957 season. Track Fi1'Sf f0W, left T0 flhfi A- Hefbffff- B- RYHU- J- HCHCLTFSOH. D. A. Mattson, R. Black, J, Brislin, T. Dutkiewicz Coach Smith Avery, K. Bruhm, D. Barlow. Second row: D. Sanocki, J. Kibbe, The 1956 Track Team was one of the most successful in recent years, according to head coach, Sahler Smith. For the second year in a row, the team finished the season with six wins, one loss, and one second place. The highlight of the 1956 track season was the winning of the West Springfield In- vitational Meet Trophy. This event, which has been fostered by Coach Smith and Dr. George C. Steele, has become an annual event in West Springfield. Dr. Steele also awards a trophy to the outstanding competitor in the event. In 1956 the trophy was awarded to Gerry Henderson for his outstanding efforts in the 100 yard dash, 120 yard low hurdles, and broad jumping. Seniors who have competed in their last meet include: jim Aseltine, Bob Randall, Harold Levenson, and Paul Quaglini. The future looks bright because of the large number of underclassmen on the squad. With performers such as Ted Dutkiewitz, T. Connors, Dick Sanocki and Derek Barlow, Coach Smith is looking forward to another successful season. The early deadline for the yearbook prevented coverage of the 1957 season. 85 Soccer Team .Alla Front row: William Ryan, Stanley Fraczek, David St. Germain, Douglas Speed, George Young, Melvin Warner, Robert Pendleton, Rene Burque. Back row: Frank Leftwich, student coach, Harold Gagne, David Pearson, Francis Owczarski. Roderick Black, Harold Levenson, George Woods, Ronson Sherman, Robert Palmer, Ted Smith, Coach. The soccer team, this year, won four, lost four, and tied four. From the looks of this record one might assume that the team had just an average season. This is not so. The four ties came against such worthy opponents as Commerce, Tech, and Classical, so the team feels that it proved itself against the best competition. Eight seniors will graduate, these are: Francis Owczarski, Melvin Wfarner, Douglas Speed, Rene Burque, David Pearson, William Ryan, co-captains Robert Palmer and Harold Levenson. Things are looking up next year, with such stalwarts as: co-captains elect Robert Pendleton and Harold Gagneg Stanley Fraczek, Roderick Black, George Young, Ronson Sherman, George Woods, David St. Germain, and Leo Sagan returning to bolster coach Ted Smith's forces. There is also a possibility of a new soccer league next year, all of which will tend to make soccer another popular fall sport.

Boasting of an 11-2-1 record, this year's hockey team was the finest since the state champions of 1952. The team had overall balance and was considered the class of hockey in Western Massachusetts. In the Western Massachusetts League, the Terriers were undefeated,. winning eight games and losing none. This was the best over-all record of any Western Massachusetts hockey team. As a result of this achievement, the Terriers went to Boston to play in the State Hockey Tournament. Playing against a strong Boston College High School team, the Terriers were tied 1-1 in the regular game and first two overtime periods. Regulations prohibited a third overtime period that day and when the Terriers met B. C. H. S. the next day, they were defeated 2-1 in a five minute overtime. Thus ended their chances to become State Champions but it served to establish the Terriers as out- standing hockey players, deserving the title, Western Massachusetts Hockey Champs. Co-captains Mario Basilone and Bill Ryan formed the backbone of the team and showed great spirit and tremendous hustle. Along with Larry Bregoli they saw their last days of playing hockey for West Side. Coach Robert Ryan has a. strong team coming back next year. Heading up the players will be defense men like Armand Ragazini and Jerry Sartorig clever goalie, Nonnie Warren, and flying center, Butch Falleti. Other lettermen returning are Stan Fraczek, Toby Daly, Harold Gagne, Dave Butterfield, and Rene LaFleche. 87 9 0 'a O I ,GRN A7 1957 N59 HAM?

Under the direction of Mrs. McCleery, the AH group, consisting of the more experienced members of the club, meets on Thursday and they have almost become experts in the basic skills of jumping, knee drops, and seat drops.

The junior and senior scrimmage games, under the leadership of Miss Farnsworth, are played on Tuesday and Thursday. It is hoped that these games will stimulate greater interest in girls' sports and lead to an active intramural program. 9l Varsity Cheerleaders First row: Andrea Drew, Judy Cieboter.

Whetlier they win or lose, the cheerleaders are always there to support their teamsg keeping the tradition with both old and new cheers. These girls spend most of their spare time perfecting the old cheers and developing new stunts. Not only do they practice during football and basketball season, but also during summer vacations. That is why cheerleaders are chosen during the spring time so that they are organized and ready for the fall. They strive constantly to promote school spirit among the student body and to cheer the Terriers on to victory. junior Varsity Cheerleaders First row: Kathy Joy, 'Ioan Harrington, Carolyn Root, Rosemarie Gareffi, Barbara Wfagner, Peggy Haggerty, Allie Lou Bowen, Barbara Kasper, Miss Haynes, Joan Matchett, Manager. 92 The Traveler Staff Front row, sitting, left to right: E. Maxfield, J. Matchett, J. Daubitz, J. Larrick, and L. Morin. Second row: A. Drew, J. Cieboter, E. J. Harrison, R. Nihill, D. Hayes, A. Mattson, and Advisor, Mr. Gaffney, The Traveler Staff, headed by Joyce Larrick and Joan Daubitz, co-editors, and Louise Morin, business manager, started the year by soliciting names and ads for the Community Calendar, the proceeds of which help to defray the costs of the yearbook. As the mailing deadline approached, most of the staff could be found in Room Two frantically trying to decipher names and transfer them to prepared calendar forms. As soon as the calendar was in the mail, we settled down to the many things that had to be done. Andrea Drew, photography editor, was constantly after people to return their proofs and was busy scheduling those. group pictures which had not as yet been taken. Danny Hayes and Ronnie Nihill struggled desperately to fit the many sports articles and pictures on the seventeen pages allotted to the department. Joan Matchett employed the aid of various staff members in choosing appropriate quotations for the senior write-ups which were being checked and alphabetized by Elaine Maxfield. Joyce Larrick was given the task of writing the Destinations, a job which caused much laughter and consternation as we all helped, Carol Bacon and Joan Daubitz worked on features, Carol's appearing in poetic form and Joan's in prose. Amid the confusion caused by everyone trying to fill assignments and meet deadlines, we settled on the title, Terrier Traveler, and okayed an idea for a cover. As soon as the idea for the cover had been formed, Emily-Jane Har- rison was found surrounded by paper, pencils, erasers, and discarded sketches, and covered from head to toe with India ink! Soon she came up with a cover, and with that off our minds, we realized that the final deadline for the first half of the book was rapidly approaching. Those who were qualified assisted the typing editor, Judy Cieboter, in typing senior write-ups and the rest of us proofread as quickly as pages came from the typewriters. 93 During this hectic time Arthur Mattson roamed through the buildings on mysterious little errands. We were all relieved when the first forty-eight pages of the Traveler went off to Texas before Christmas, and in january, we all returned to school full of ambition and ideas for the remaining pages. For the month of january the staff became a small branch of the F. B. I. as we took on the task of identifying faces in the numerous group pictures. Frequent trips were made to the office to consult the office staff who have a keen memory for faces. With their aid and that of the organization advisors, nearly one thousand people were correctly identified. Room six, with every available space covered with pictures, bore a faint resemblance to the Rogue's Gallery of a police station as people peered through magnify- ing glasses trying to determine if it was or wasn't!! Who's that?'l was a phrase which echoed and re-echoed in our ears! Everyone was assigned several organizations and had to contact the advisors for the information which was to appear under the picture. Then came the last frantic rush of typing pages, proofreading, and mailing the final pages. As every storm is followed by a calm, after the strain of deadlines, our class was given time for relief. We then began thinking of all the errors that we had made and compiled a list of do's and don'ts to relieve the staff of '58 of some of the headaches that we suffered ! ! Let us hope they profit by our errors! ELAINE MAXFIELD Kibitzmg E Maxfield, D. Hayes, and A. Drew look over Just the Facts, Ma'am E.

It's a flight into the future to fulfill their hopes and dreams, But their voyage through the years of school was all too short-it seems. For now there lies ahead of them the winding path of life, Where each must go his separate way and face both joy and strife. But each senior will remember, as the years go by, The fun, the work, the joys, the sighs they knew at West Side High.
