Included are the activities and friendships which we will always remember with pleasure. There are, however, other treasures in life, riches that must be cultivated in order to insure a happy and profitable future. These encompass more than mere financial gain and worldly prestige, transient satisfactions which are brief and temporal. Poor is the man who has made his goal the amassing of material wealthg but rich is the man who has gathered lasting possessions of permanent value to self and humanity. Now, upon entering the post-graduate world, we must decide which values will characterize our lives. Shall we proudly acquire monetary wealth and popularity, or shall we humbly seek the moral, cultural, and spiritual values without which life has little meaning? Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through and steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. Matthew 6 :19-21 DEBORAH STEELE E ditor-in-C hief 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS Foreword .TT.. , ,.,TT ---,.- 2 Dedication - oooooo 4 Faculty ooooo s oooooooo o,oo , - 5 Seniors r ooo.oio,i,..i.,oo,.,,...o ,-.,,,iiee 1 5 Senior Class Ballot- ri,, S- so rrrrrrr S50 Underclassmen .rrrrr ,,-,i,,i,, 5 3 Activities .r.rrrrirrrrrrrr. at i,rr H.,, , ,--cr 6 3 Sports .ri, A, .....rrrrrc.......,....rrrr Terrier Treasure Staff rrrrrrr.,r ,r.,, A M102 Acknowledgements rrrrrrrrr S c rrrrr, H104 3 DEDICATIGN WHERE YOUR TREASURE LIES ln what field does your treasure lie? Where the ground is marked with a gridg Where the cheerleaders urge the throaty crowdg Is that where your treasure's hid? Or is it hidden in a room, Where the shelves of knowledge are, Where the record's marked with A through F, And the mind may wander far? Or is it in a vestibule, Where the hearty greetings pass, With the shared jokes, and the warm smiles Of the rest of the senior class? Or is it in the quietness That we feel when God is high? If that's where the treasure's really hid, Give all you have and buy. -JOHN DENNISON To the ideals so aptly expressed in this poem by Mr. John Dennison, ex- change teacher from New Zealand at West Springfield High School, we, the TERRIER TREASURE staff, dedicate the 1958 yearbook. With the assist- ance of parents, teachers, and friends, we are confident that we all shall come to realize the true meanings and values which are really life's treasures. 4 FAQ' H1613 ,fk ffl Sflffgg fzf ff :I fffjy x' f , mi 3 X x A if l 1 ISN 1 1 ? y iifhzw H12 ihalvzf nf bmawlahgf: an? SUPERINTENDENT'S MESSAGE STANLEY W. WRIGHT Superintendent of Schools A.B., University of New Hampshire M.Ed., Boston University It is with sincere pleasure, on behalf of the administration of our schools, that we extend to you sincere best wishes as you graduate from West Springfield High School, thus joining a distin- guished body of alumni. During your years with us, you have stored the richest of educational experi- ences and of pleasures, too. In your many years in the future, you will re- call your school years as the best ones of your lives. May you never forget the friends you made and the fine teach- ers you had in your classes. May God Bless You on this your Graduation Day and in the many years ahead. STANLEY W. WRIGHT Superintendent of-Schools SCHOOL COMMITTEE MEMBERS, 1957-1958 Dr. Charles A. Diamond, Chairman Dr. Pliny Norcross Mr. Lawrence D. Brady Dr. James J. Sady Mr. Douglas C. Childs Mr. Philip R. Smith PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE As you venture forth into life you must realize decisions and choices can- not be avoided. You can make them intelligently and in a way that will make your lives count. The Utreasuresn that you have accumulated in your twelve years of schooling should enable you to gain security in life's unpredictable course. There are three precious things which you should hold fast and prize. The first is gentlenessg the second is fru- galityg the third is humility, which keeps you from putting yourselves before oth- ers. At the same time you must never overlook the fact that the basic human need is not the security of the body, but of the spirit. The psalmist of old knew the impor- tance of gaining true wisdom when he wrote: How happy is the man who finds wisdom, the man who gains under- standing! For her income is better than income of silver, and her revenue than gold. She is more precious than corals, and none of our heartls desires can com- pare to her. Long life is in her right hand, in her left riches and honor. Her ways are paths of pleasantness, and all her paths are peacef' CHRIS GRAMMATICAS Principal CHRIS GRAMMATICAS Principal of West Springfield High School B.S..

MAI TENANCE STAFF S Members of our school sanitation department are, left to right: William Sullivan, Jesse Lee, Robert Welch, and Harold Russell. Mr. Sullivan, head custodian, and his crew work many long hours to keep our school comfortable and attractive. In June, 1957, four faculty members left West Springfield High to carry on their endeavors in other fields. The students of this school are fortunate to have known these men and to have been exposed to their personalities and knowledge. Our asso- ciations with them will always be treasured memories.

May every soul that touches mine-- Be it the slightest contact, Get therefrom some good, Some little grace, one kindly thought, One aspiration yet unfelt, One bit of courage for the darkening sky, One gleam of faith To brave the thickening ills of life.

'wi 3 wgrz fha ,Bama fain Eff ,gf THF Sa ' CLASS UF 1958 Now that graduation time is here, we seniors experience a feeling of satisfaction as we realize that we have finally attained our ultimate goal. As we all go our separate ways, I am sure that we shall at various times remember with pleasure our high school treasures. First came the election of officers to lead us in our frantic freshman year. After extensive campaigning the results were as follows: Timothy Connors, presidentg Patricia Theobald, vice presidentg Diane Peverly, secretary, and Dorothy Downie, treasurer. Advised by Mr. Etchells and Mr. Rochford, we participated in dances, parties, and in the selection of pins and rings. At graduation the Balfour Award, the Latin Award, and the Reader's Digest Award were presented to Deborah Steele, an outstanding student. Second-in-line for the Balfour Award was Kenneth Cohen. Ralph McCarroll and Charlene Goodreau received the American Legion Awards, and Richard Annino and Carolyn Daniels were given honorable mention. The Lionis Science Award was presented to Richard Ball. With great anticipation we left the junior high and entered into the old high school as baby sophomores. Not long after our entrance, we elected for leaders, Michael Capozza, presidentg Catherine Joy, vice president, Mary Hardy, secretary, and Anna Blew. treasurer. Our advisor was Mr. Ryan. We treasure many activities in the old high school, which we left with regret to begin our junior year in an elaborate, new West Springfield High School. I6 For our junior year We elected Sarah Burke, presidentg Carol Shepard, vice pres- identg Mary Ellen Dube. secretary: and Anna Blew. treasurer. Our advisor was Mr. Vye. The most treasured memory of our junior year was the Junior-Senior Promenade. We were pleased when some of the boys in our class were on the All- Western Massachusetts Football Team and others were on the Championship Hockey Squad. We also treasure the memory of dances. pep rallies. and choice of class rings. Now that we have reached our goal and are no longer underclassmen, our leaders are: Richard Sanocki, presidentg Deborah Steele. vice presidentg Margaret Haggerty, secretaryg and Shelia D'Amico, treasurer. With the aid of our advisor, Mr. Bartlett, we hope that we have made our senior year as successful as the three years that have preceded it. We now conclude one of the best years of our life with mixed emo- tions of joy and sorrow. Now let us pause and examine what we have gained from these four years of high school. Are we prepared to go out into the world? Will we add to the development of our city, state, and countryg or will we hinder them? Let us all pray that we have used to the fullest extent the educational opportunities offered us and have learned the true meanings of life, its treasures and its riches. MARGARET HAGGERTY Secretary I 7 E IOR SNAPS Obviously bored stiff are male seniors Dean Sias and Dick Sanocki as they listen to Sarah Burke and Carla Whitney evaluate Pat Theo- bald's new bracelet. Policy in the makingfmembers of the Execu- tive Committee listen attentively as Dick Sanocki, class president, expresses his views on a new class venture. Clockwise, the com- mittee includes Ronald Kuhnel, Ted Dutkie- wicz, Carla Whitney, Deborah Steele, Peggy Haggerty, Sheila D'Amico, Paul Reid, and Mr. Bartlett, class advisor. The strains of Beethoven, Bach, and Wagner invade the backstage of the West Side audi- torium as the Class Song Committee discuss musical plans. While Pat Theobald and Norris Plumley express approval. Deborah Steele and Barbara Wagner note the score.

In West Springfield High School, the student is the reason for the council's functioning. It not only attempts to cultivate leadership training and better self-government, but more important, it attempts to develop good citizenship. The organization consists of elected representatives from the student body, and it strives to benefit the student in every way possible. The council plans activities, dances, operates the Student Council Store, supervises the home room representatives and student patrol members, and discusses school problems and attempts to arrive at workable solutions. Among its activ- ities is the annual Terrier Talents, the proceeds of which go to scholarships for qualified, deserving seniors. The Student Council leads the Way to increased student initiative for the betterment of all. In the years to come, we can only hope that it may continue to be an important pillar of our school's life. STUDENT COUNCIL STORE Left to right: Kitty Kalloch.

How proud Miss Bugbee must have been to see the members of the largest Pro Merito ever receive their pins in the December assembly. The big thing for these bright seniors was the Annual Scholarship Drive held in May.

Cast a glance at the colorful array of paintings on display in the showcase. Varieties of clcvcr pictures and etchings include pastoral scenes, studies in animal life, child lifc, tree life, character sketches and ships at sea. These outstanding works are products of the Art Club, which was organized for the purpose of giving those interested in art an opportunity to do creative work. The club, in its first year, met Tuesday and Thursday mornings during activity period. The members took occasional field trips and visited museums and art exhibits. One of their notable accomplishments was their construction of toys which were donated to Brightside Orphanage for Christmas, It is the plan ot' the club to select the most outstanding work of art annually and donate it to the school so that, eventually, we will have a complete art gallery of our own. 69 AN First row, left to right: Carol Binda, Rosalie Story, Andrea Stephenson, Natalie Story, Susan Pohl, Audrey Dodge.

When the spirits of a group soar upward. it seems only fitting that they should turn their thoughts to music. Treasured memories of hard work, fun, and frolic are stored away for safe keeping as the band members look back on the many hours spent to- gether in an organization of -which they are proud. No one band member, though, could have as many wonderful memories as Mr. Donald E. Abbe, the director. There are memories of sleepy 7:30 a.m. band rehearsals for Covernorfs Night, the Pops Concert, and the Western Massachusetts Music Festival. One can never forget the rainy paper drives or maneuvers on a damp, cold football field or a yummy candy sale. All these and many more will be memories treasured forever. 70 Audience 1-ye-view: sparkling blue and white clad Band eye-view: alumni, teachers, and paronts greet band memlwrs play welcoming fanfare at the Pops friends during Pops Concert intermission.
