It is with ap- preciation of his many kindnesses, his untiring patience, and his sympathetic un- derstanding that we dedicate the Terrier 1963 to Mr. James H. Erickson, friend, teacher, and dedicated public servant. Foreword Each man is the handiwork of the Lord, but he is also a unique creation, subiect to many in- fluences and molded by many hands: The devoted hands of teachers who have pointed the way to learning and offered the keys to knowledge, The artistic hands that formed our crude efforts into things of beauty, The skilled hands that guided our unsure fingers at unfamiliar tasks, The athletic hands that taught us the game of life by encouraging the spirit of competition, The firm hands of administration who have upheld the ideals on which our school is built, The willing hands of those who served us so well and without whom no school and no class could prosper, The unseen hands of a loyal school committee who undertook the responsibilities of our education, The loving hands of parents and family who cared so much and sacrificed so self- lessly, ' The outstretched hands of classmates, eager to be understanding and to be under- stood. These hands are the source and the symbol of our yearbook. Co-Editors-in-Chief 1 f4.1fif'.-5'-. 'K ' . ,.

The four teachers pictured on this page represent a teaching accomplishment rare in the annals of any school. These four have touched the lives of many during the more than one hundred years which they have given to instructing West Springfield High School students. Generations of students who remember them with grati- tude and affection will find it impossible to imagine them in any capacity but that of educa- tors forever dispensing knowledge and imparting wisdom. They and their accgmplishments have been an inspiration to innumerable classes. These four dedicated, devoted people and all that they symbolized will never be forgotten.

SU PERINTENDENTS MESSAGE We are living in a privileged period of mental and spiritual growth and expansion. We should acquire the rare ability to make ourselves useful to mankind and to respect hard work and plain old-fashioned honesty. The most valuable things that come to us in life we earn with our own two hands, for in life there are no lucky people, winners are workers with an aim. Above all, we must look upon life itself as a bigger and broader school where the main vocation is the constant learning of endless lessons un- der the guidance of an infinite Teacher. Every member of the West Springfield School System extends to every member of the Class of i963 sincere congratulations and best wishes for continued success in the future. Chris Grammaticas Superintendent of Schools The School Committee has al- ways been ready to lend a help- ing hand to the administration, faculty, and students at West Springfield High School. This committee has provided many organized and well-spent years for the class of l963. In 1962, West Springfield High School was evaluated and high- ly accredited as a member of the New England Association of Col- leges and Secondary Schools for the next ten years. We owe the School Committee a debt of thanks for providing the facilities, the faculty, and the program which earned this honor. The committees never-ceasing work for the benefit of our schools is greatly appreciated. PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE Education is a lifelong process by which we con- tinue to feed new vigor in- to the life stream of our community through intelli- gent, reasoned decisions. Let us think of education as a means of developing our greatest abilities, be- cause in each of us there is a private hope and dream, which, fulfilled, can be translated into benefit for everyone. RGBERT C. SHIELDS Principal uidin Our Lives 8 VICE-PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE I congratulate the Class of I963 for a job well done, and I wish to take this opportunity to thank its members for the assistance and co-operation given me this year. West Springfield High School has a rich her- itage. As you now take your place among the thousands of its graduates, you will add some- thing, great or small, to that heritage. How much you have learned and what you will do with that learning will decide your contribu- tion. I wish to leave with you a formula which I hope you will find useful: Faith in God plus trust in yourself equals happiness and success. RAYMOND W. WILLIAMSON Acting Vice-Principal Offerin Their Assistance Harris Tanner advises Norine Bresnahan in her decisions for college next year. ln his capacity as Guidance Placement Director, Mr. Tanner helps studens make college choices and obtain employment upon graduation. The hands of the Guidance Depart- ment help shape the future of each student at West Springfield High School. The Guidance Counselors 'have advised us, planned our programs, pointed us toward successful future careers, and helped us to solve our problems, both scholastic and personal. Because the same counselor is assigned to a class from its entrance to its grad- uation, he gains an insight into each student's character and becomes a friend as well as an adviser. Class advisers are, left to right: Milton Laufer, Mrs. Alice Cowing, and Albert Bessette. Albert Bessette points out the new guidance bulletin board to Carol Baiardi and Marilyn Shapter. Through this device students learn dates of College Board examinations and of prospective visits by college representatives. The capable hands of our office staff, Mrs Irene Conklin, Mrs. Edna Christian, Mrs. Mariorie Rockwell, and Mrs. Edith Dut- kiewicz, perform a variety of clerical and administrative tasks which help to keep our school operating smoothly and effi- ciently. Increasing Our nderstanding The Task of The English Teachers is multifold. Their hands musT mold us as Turure individuals, because from Them we learn The arT of commu- nication-To wriTe eTTecTively, To speak coherently, To read reTlecTively, and To lisTen aTTenTively. Through English we learn To evaluaTe The world of books, and To discriminaTe between The shoddy and The worthwhile. We become acquainted with The besT That has been said and Thoughf in The world, and we gain an appreciation of our cul- tural heritage. By reading, we begin To under- stand The world around us. Through greaT char- acTers and great poeTry by greaT authors we come To know human naTure-our,fellow man as well as ourselves. Mrs. BerTha Hertz, a member of the English Department, proves she is always ready to lend a helping hand To students in study hall. s l l i , . l In The above picture are, seared: Mrs. Pearl Chouffet, Mrs. Lois Bopp, and Mrs. Bertha Hertz.

Widening Our Horizons Like members of an international round table, members of the history meet to discuss the problem of building democratic concepts among students. Seated are William Quigley, Mrs. Helen Cowing, Mrs. Mary Hubbard, and John Siepietowski, standing: David Crosier, Gordon Vye, George Bozenhard, and William Wyman. Mrs. Mary Hubbard and Anderson Bray set up apparatus for the showing of a filmstrip in history class. Films and other Audio-Visual Aids dram- atize historical events and awaken the interest of the students to today's problems. Today's world demands an understanding of the past and a knowledge of the present. The History Department of West Springfield High School attempts to convey this knowledge to enable a student to understand his world and to live as an intelligent and informed citizetn. Textbooks are not the only source of infor- mation. Audio-Visual Aids, newspapers, and other media of communications, independent research, term papers, and oral reports are used so that the student will learn to seek the truth, to correlate his facts, and come to an independ- ent, reasoned opinion. As a part of this search, each student pursues courses in World History and United States History to -provide a founda- tion on which he can build a useful and happy life. William Wyman points out a place of strategic im- portance to sophomore Leslie Hunt. Familiarity with with our ever-changing world has become vital for all Americans. Thus, each history class has set aside one day a week to study current events and places in the news and to analyze their significance.

With world horizons constantly shrinking, the study of foreign languages is more im- portant than ever. The knowledge of foreign languages enables Us to communicate with people of other lands, and to enrich our cul- tural background by the study and appre- ciation of their civilizations. We, at West Springfield High School, are fortunate in hav- ing an expert staff of instructors in Latin, French, Spanish, and German. The language department facilities include a modern language laboratory, which has individual booths, with tape recorders by which students can more fully develop pro- ficiency in speaking and understanding for- eign languages. Veni, vidi, vici! Deanne Suzor learns the art of scanning Latin verse from Miss Dorothy Bugbee, chairman of the Language Department. 5 i , E,Que lo dice? Regina Battista, a first year Span- ish student, asks Mr. Angelo Laveglia, Spanish in- structor, about a poster for Spain's national pastime. Such posters familiarize students with scenes of 1 Spain as well as the language they are studying. i ll Solving the Problems Demonstrating the use of a sphere in to- day's advanced mathematics are, in the pic- ture to the right, Mr. Kenneth Bruhm, Mr. Lindzay Varnum, chairman, and Mr. Michael Murphy. Math teachers, Mr. Willis Phair, Mr. Eugene King, Mr. Harley McVay and Mr. Laurence Goss, fpictured belowl use various devices, such as the three-dimensional cube and the slide rule, to give each student a practical experience with mathematics. The Mathematics Department of West Springfield High School at- tempts to instill in all students a sense of order and precision, and a respect for numerical values, ratios, formulas, and progressions. In a world where math plays an ever expaunding role, study of arith- metic, geometry, and trigonometry is essential. Courses in these sub- jects prepare our students for col- lege work and industrial training. This year, the so-called new math made great strides, confounding the outsider, but increasing the students' understanding of the But l can't reach that high, complains Patricia Reusch as Fred Barber attempts to explain the art of using a slide rule. very nature of numbers and wid- ening their opportunities. A familiar scene after school is the l4:3O club under the guidance of Mr. Goss. This lntellectual organization enables the students to catch up on their math work. Changing the Times Today's students must be able to meet the challenging problems cre- ated by the ever-expanding field of science. Helping equip students to cope with space-age problems, our Science Department offers courses in biology, chemistry, physics, earth science, and general science. Among the annual proiects ot the Science Department is the Science Fair, which gives interested students an opportunity tor independent re- search. Science Seminars are also available to advanced students. Sup- plementing class instruction, lab pe- riods provide practical application through experiments. In the picture at the left, intent members of the Science Department look on as Mr. Paine reviews the experiment of the day. Experiments help the students understand the subiect they are studying. Laboratory work also gives the student a chance to ob- serve scientific phenomena and a sense of responsibility in handling equipment and chemicals. Left to right are Norman Beals: Miss Joyce Morrissey, Roy Paine, Depart- ment Chairman, Miss Constance Ledger, and George Bauman.

Practicing Gftice Procedures The West Springfield High School Business Department has a distinguished record in Training students in a wide variety of com- mercial subiects - Typewriting, bookkeeping, stenography, Tran- scription, clerical practice, office practice, office machines, business law, business mathematics, and salesmanship. After completing The four-year business course, our students are well prepared To entre either com'- mercial colleges or various careers in The business world, such as sec- retarial work, banking, merchan- dising, retailing, and marketing. The success of West Side alumni in the business field Testifies To The high quality of our commercial course and its faculty. The mem- bers of The Business Department are: left To right: Miss Louise Smith Miss Jean Kelliher, Maurice Pease Miss Alice Clark, and Miss Mar- garet Curley, department chair- man. I I Keep your eyes on your books. Take your paper out and Calculating profit and loss state-ments of a Theoretical company proofread carefully. Student typists, Pamela Jones and Linda gives Carolyn Sullivan and her STO classmates office experience. Taylor, learn the skills of Typing through diligent practice. Making final corrections before preparing to run off a report on one of the mimeograph ma- chines found .in The Business Department are Penny Peacock, Cheryl Poehlman, and Judy LeFrancois. Preparing for Domestic Life Hands preparing The staff of life, and hands guiding The home- makers of The future, The instruc- tors of The Home Economics De- partment attempt to Teach domes- tic skills to The housewives and career women of Tomorrow. Students learn howto plan well- balanced menus, to prepare tasty meals, to buy wisely and economi- cally, and To care for a family. The students are given opportunities for practical experience in These fields by sewing and cooking in up-to-date kitchens, by providing refreshments for various school events, by making Their own gar- ments which They model in fash- ion shows, and by going on Trips to investigate Their fields of en- deavor. Mrs. Eileen Lenahan and Miss Joyce Ashley, Home Economics instructors, demonstrate new types of stitching on one of the modern sewing machines. T i Now pin the dart here at the waistline, Miss Ashley tells her students, Barbara Godek and Mary Ann Korpac. Girls in the Home Economic classes find ways to dress becomingly and economically by learning to design and sew clothes for them- selves and others. Miss Joyce Morrissey helps Geraldine D'Amico and Carolyn Sulli- van with interior decorating in her family living class. The girls study child psychology, personality development, and the es- sentials for making a family happy and secure. Pre-vocational subjects, Taught by Theodore Smith and Miss Florence Blish, train students to prepare themselves for life after high school. The students have a morning schedule of sub- iects such as English, history, math, and science. In the afternoon the boys receive general shop courses while The girls are taught helpful home- making practices. A new program is-being de- veloped to provide practical experience for the students through part time work in stores, hos- pitals, filling stations and local industries. I5 Mastering Practical Skills lndustrial arts play an important role in the education of today's young men. ln our modern facili- ties, boys may master skills by which they can later earn a liv- ing. Courses are offered in print- ing, drafting, woodworking-, auto- mobile mechanics, metalworking and other vocational areas. As a background for these courses, stu- dents study local industries, iob classifications, working qualifica- tions, pay rates, and opportunities for advancement. As a part of the course in me- chanical drawing, Mr. Richard Aseltine H2 and Mr. Earl Chapman ffl show John Kokoszka and Fred LeDoux a model blueprint from which they are to produce a fin- ished copy. Mr Hollis Etchells demonstrates the new offset press to David Brusoi. From a single master copy, the press runs off thousands of co-pies per minute. The general printing course trains students In the art of typesetting used in producing a printed page. ln Mr. Richard Eagan's woodworking classes, boys learn to build objects from plans and to sand and refinish wood. Mr. Eagan shows how to cut a piece of wood to the desired width and length. Students in Mir. Robert Tharaldson's auto mechanics class learn by experience how to repair automobile engines. Here David Matchett prepares to overhaul a Briggs 8. Stratton Motor. Developing Physical Fitness The Boys' Physical Education program provides the chance for students to build Themselves physically, as well as to devel- op a competitive spirit. In physical edu- cation, individual instruction is offered in gymnastics and wrestling, as well as team efforts in soccer, basketball, and volley- ball. Participation in these activities has been found very beneficial to the stu- dents. At the right Mr. William Jones and Mr. Kenneth Kindig help Tom Flach, as he attempts a new stunt on the rings. No, the desks are not missing: this is iust the way the girls take their physical education exams. The girls sprawl in varied po- sitions on the floor, while Miss Harding, Mrs. Venick, and Prisilla Blew, a member of the Leaders' Club, officiate. Under the supervision of Mr. Kenneth Kindig, our boys make a gallant attempt to meet the standards of the Marine Physical Fitness Tests. Although the tests themselves are strenuous, each boy will agree that the after-effects are much worse. Girls' Physical Education. classes play an important part in the physical fitness and grooming of each girl. The rnodern equipment enables every girl at West Springfield High School to exercise and keep fit. Sports such as volleyball, bas- ketball, soccer, and field hockey, along with many others played in class, help each girl to develop good sportsmanship asgwell as good co-ordination. Miss Lorraine Harding, left, and Mrs. Harriet Vinick, right, acquaint Miss Elizabeth Holey with the girls' basketball schedule. As of January, Miss Holey joined the teaching staff, replacing Mrs. Vinick. Fostering Creative Talent The capable hands of Mrs. Edith Rice, art instructor, have inspired many of her students with new ideas and tech- niques of art. The students of art learn the background of many great masters, as well as the philosophy of art and how to apply it to their own work. Mrs. Rice has also helped to develop the talents of her students with lessons in drawing, lettering, painting, and sculp- turing. Here the creative hands of Mrs. Rice show Deanne Suzor some points on the formation of the sculpture they are admiring. I8 Mr. Donald Ab-be, as director of the band, has brought many honors and much acclaim to our high school. Now that band is a regularly scheduled class, there is time for the members to de- velop their skills and prepare a more difficult and varied program. This pro- ficiency is shown in the annual Pops Concert as well as in the interesting half-time appearances at fall footb-all games. Miss Ruth Phelps, choral director, has devoted much of heir time preparing for the concerts which are presented by the mixed chorus and the Maolrigal. Aside 'fiom directing our high school groups, she is the musical director for our entire school system, therefore, she spends much of her time helping the students in other schools with their musical education. Here, Miss Phelps gives Marilyn Andrews, choral accom- uanist, some tips on playing for one of many concerts during the year, Serving in a Variety of Ways A special feature of our school is its library of some 6,000 volumes, especially designed to fit the needs of young people of today. Our school librarian, Miss Alice Burkhardt, is familiar to all students at West Springfield High School. Miss Burkhardt's primary aim is to acquaint the students with the fa- cilities offered by the library so that they may be able to do research more easily. Two student librarians, Robert Green and Nancy Haskins, are shown learning the fundamentals of how a li- brary is organized and operated. A fully accredited driver education pro- gram is available as an elective to qualified students at West Springfield High School. Principles of good driving, road safety, and road courtesy are taught as well as actual behind-the- wheel driver training. Mr. James Erick- son, driver education teacher, is iustly proud of the record of those who have received their licenses under his direc- tion, and of his contribution to the safe- ty of the community. Here, Mr. Erickson prepares to go out on the road with Linda Webb at the wheel of the driver education car. Our school is fortunate to have the full time services of a nurse, Miss Ger- trude Bradley, who is always available and willing to help students in need of medical attention. Under her guid- ance, sight and hearing tests are given, physical examinations are conducted, and special services such as TB tests and polio vaccine programs are of- 'erecl to students. me-ne 'RL Caring for ur School The hands of the cafeteria staff are always busy preparing meals, which are not only tempting, but also are filled with vitamins and proteins, ne- cessities in the diet of busy high-school- ers. Gaiety is added to lunch time by the staff on Halloween, Christmas, Valen- tine's Day, and on other occasions when the staff appropriately decorates the cafeteria and makes special meals and desserts, thus creating a more re- laxing and pleasant atmosphere for the students as they eat. Taking time out from the preparing of lunches are the cafeteria staff: seated from I. to r. are: Olive Elliot, Mary Grocki, Sarah Hamilton, Mildred Barrett, and Jeannette Eckert, standing from I, to r. are: Isabel Bucko, Doris LeBrun, Marion Doty, Charlotte Jacobson, Mary Maize, and Lillian Engle.

Mr. Sullivan retired during the year. The custodians have the task of keeping the school building and the grounds neat and attrac- tive. Their hands are kept busy washing windows, sweeping floors, and making repairs about the school. Theirs are the hands that lift the shovel in the winter and push the mower in the summer. Just a quick glance at West Side High shows that these men have done an excellent iob. The custodial staff consists of A. Guidetti, F. Gawron, N. Angelides, fall three pictured at the leftl H.

'TTIEZ Ei ICHR Looking Back Over Four Years C2LJXSS-- 1963 Mr. Albert Bessette, senior guidance counselor has hs hands full writing references and checking college applica tions. On the following pages, we, the Class of 1963, pass in procession. The two hundred sixty seniors shown here stand on the threshold of the future, with one foot in the past and one foot striding quickly, if uncertainly, into the realm of the future. As we pass over this threshold, we shall never entirely leave our past. We shall always remember the tired ioy of a well-fought football game, the grueling agony of final exams, the wild joy of each New Year, and the quiet solemnity of Graduation. Yet, in looking back we must not forget the future. lt is a strange new world, kind yet cruel, that lies ahead of us. This world of the future is in our hands, destiny is ours to shape. Contained in the labyrinth of our destiny is that elusive phantom called success. This.success is not found, it is formed-formed by hands whose skills are born of knowl- edge. May these hands be guided in the darkness of the Unseen and the Unknown by the lantern of learning. First Row: Nancy Duda, Gay Gruppioni, Jon Wilska, Gail Gruppioni, Audrey Benoit, Betty Aiken.

The Student Council is a Parliament composed of class representatives whose members, elected by the student body, must have the qualities of leadership and integrity. This group has the responsibility of handling student legislation and representing the student's point of view to the administration. lt guides the Student Patrol, our law enforcing organization, conducts the Student Court, arranges assemblies, approves bulletin board displaysg and places school social functions on the calendar. The vice-president of the Student Council heads the Student Patrol, and the president partic- ipates in the Governor's Day held at the Eastern States Exposition. One of the council's most important functions is to give its members experience in parliamentary procedure. Throughout the year, the Student Council handles various money-raising functions. At football games, its members and associates sell programs, shakers, and traditional West Side pins. The Student Store, sell- ing an assortment of school supplies and football tickets, is perhaps the most evident of its enterprises. The most well-known, nevertheless, is the annual Terrier Talents, a variety program produced, directed, per- formed, and presented solely by the student body. The profits of all these functions go toward scholarships for deserving seniors at graduation. li53lTii?5Hfi4.ff W 'r Vclifi' At a regular Friday meeting, Student Council members listen to Planning topics for discussion at their next meeting are Stu- John Hayes, Council President. dent Council officers T.

Grady, J. Wilska, F. Brady, D. Bessone. Enforcing school rules and regulations is the task of the student patrol. This group, under the direc- tion of Vice-Principal Raymond Williamson, has proved to be a definite asset to the student body, as it main- tains order in the halls and cafeteria. The Student Patrol is closely connected with the Student Council as evidenced by the fact that the vice-president of the Student Council also serves as captain of the patrol. Leadership, scholarship, and citizenship are prerequisites for all patrol members. Eliminating bottlenecks, these patrol members supervise the flow of traffic around them. They are D. Grady, P. Gil:- son, G. Cannon, H. Sady, J. Provost, J. Hayes, G. Gagliarducci. Rushing to their posts after leaving class 3 minutes early, are C Diamond, S. Christian, S. Dotson, P. Powell, H. Sady, and C.

Senior Pro Merito members have certain privileges, however, not granted to the iunior members. The seniors are entitled to a duplicate set of books, they may go to the library during their study hall using their membership cards as passes, and they may leave school early on Fridays instead of attending home- room at the end ofthe day. Ushering duties at graduation and serving on the Daisy Chain are privileges of the Junior Pro Merito mem- bers.

Members are students who have achieved a scholastic average of 85 or better, but character, leadership, and service are also con- sidered when the members are selected. One privilege of the society members is that they can receive a duplicate set of books, if there are enough books available. In acknowledgement of membership, all student members receive gold pins, the seniors receive blazers, and each is further distinguished by wearing a gold banner over his robe at graduation. Since the National Honor Society is a nation-wide organization, all colleges are familiar with it and its qualifications. Special scholarships are also available to these members. A three-hour National Merit Scholar- ship Qualifying Test ot educational development covering English us- age, social studies, natural sciences and word usage is given to stu- dents in their junior year. A se- lection score, which is the total of five test scores, is used by the National Merit Scholarship Corpo- ration as the basis for selecting semi-finalists and students eligible for Letters of Commendation. Victoria Johnson and Naomi Gor- ing, center, achieved semi-finalist standing. Those who received Let- ters of Commendation were from left to right: Francis Brady, Susan Dotson, Margaret Powell, and Peter Gibson. 69 Deciding Class Business Much of the administra- tion of the affairs of each class is placed in the hands of its Executive Committee. The class officers of the sophomore and iunior classes, under the supervi- sion of their guidance coun- selors, appoint eight students from their respective classes to make up the committees. These eight students repre- sent each section of the towr and each course at the higl' school. When financial problems of a class are on hand, the Executive Committee organ- izes a plan to raise funds for its Class Treasury The Sopho, Members of the Junior Executive Committee are: First Row: L. Breveleri, T. Bessone, 'L. Toriani, more committee sponsored a Christmas card sale, and the junior committee sponsored a candy sale.

Here Susan Christian sells an S.A. ticket to Charlene Diamond as Marilyn Shapter looks on. One regular Homeroom Rep- resentative and one alternate are elected by every homeroom at the beginning of each school year. These representatives are kept busy throughout the year col- lecting dues, distributing infor- mation to classes, and handling the sale of candy, Christmas cards, and Student Activity Tick- ets. The purchase of Student Ac- tivity Tickets helps finance many activities, helps to reduce the student's cost of participating in school functions, and pays for class dues, and the yearbook, which is distributed by the rep- resentatives. Mr. Albert Bessette, Class advise., seems quite iubilant over the fact that Faith Rosati, a Senior Homeroom Representative, is handing in more money from the sale of Student Activity Tickets. Senior Home Room Representatives are: First Row: Marcella Donoghue, Susan Christian, Mary Landry, Shirley Lake, Patricia Wright, Carol Baiardi, Jean Riley. Second Row: Elizabeth Dwyer, Thomas Gleason, Annette Valorose, Bruce Gombar, Bonnie Lou Paier, Alan Bower, and Jacqueline Provost.

Concentrating on the copy before them, Rena Circosta, Annette Valarose, and Hannah Dwinell seem unaware of the confused city room atmosphere of the Journalism class. Each student on the newspaper staff has a beat assigned to him such as some depart- ment or activity in the school which he must cover each week. These write-ups are some- times used for newspaper articles Though ad- ditional special assignments are usually used.

Always ready to lend a helping hand to both the faculty and the student body are the student Office Workers, who dedicate themselves to fulfilling many necessary duties around the school. Their hands are kept busy work- ing the switchboard, deliv- ering the daily notice, col- lecting attendance forms, and acting as messengers for the faculty. With assistance from the industrious hands of the Guidance Workers, the guidance counselors can aid and serve the school more efficiently. One main duty of the guidance workers is to act as receptionists when visiting parents come to talk with their child's class adviser. Another helpful service is keeping the catalogue file in alphabet- ical order.

Membership in the Junior Red Cross provides an op- rr portunity for students to give a helping hand to the needy and unfortunate. To begin the year, the annual Red Cross Drive was successfully conducted in homerooms by the members under the su- pervision of Mrs. Helen Cow- ing. Service projects this year included the decorating of the Holyoke Soldiers' Home on Valentine's Day, serving as blood-mobile aides in Springfield Hospital, and do- nating funds to make cloth- ing for needy children. Also this year our Red Cross was host for the Inter-High Coun- cil composed of suburban high school clubs. A discus- sion of the role of youth in civil defense was conducted. D. Jackson, P.

The Future Teachers of America, under the guid- ance of Mrs. Alice Cow- ing, gives students inter- ested in the teachinghpro- fession a chance to learn about the requirements and duties of becoming good teachers. Because of the great shortage of qual- ified persons entering teaching today, one of the principal motives of the F.T.A. is to encourage tal- ented young people to be- come teachers. Observing classes and practice teach- ing in local elementary schools are highlights of the club's activities. Dianne Serafini and Evelyn Szymonik greet teachers attending the conference held by the F.T.A. at the high school. These can't be new sophomores!

This year's club, because of its great size, is di- vided so that one group meets on Wednesday and another on Friday. The members have chosen as their officers for this year: Geraldine D'Amico, pres- ident, Ernest Carbone, vice- president, Joanne Fortune, treasurer, and Lucinda Taylor, secretary. The club also de- cided to divide its program into three units, painting, sketching and sculpturing. During each unit the members are to create something of their own liking and develop it into a finished product. A new policy started by this year's Art Club is the pres- entation of a scholarship ev- ery other year, to some worthy student, to attend the art school of his choice. The mon- ey tor this scholarship is raised by the collection of dues from the club members. Members of the Art Club express their artistic abilities through painting, sculp- turing and sketching. These artists meet twice a week to express their thoughts through drawing. The Art Club includes: First Row: D. Suzor, C. Sullivan, L. Taylor, J. Fortune, D. Dallas, C. Farnsworth, K. Cremonti. Second Row: V. Tenczar, S. Engle, J. Wotasic, J. Daniels, R. Nayler, L. Warner, C. Roy. Third Row: S. Hasek, J. Riley, L. Reilly, C. Borelli, D. Ash, W. Nutting. Fourth Row: P. As- taFerraro, W.

Suppl Either there is a big sale going on at the store or nobody did his homework last night. in g the Students The Student Council Store sells school supplies, paperback books, and novelties to both students and faculty members. Items for sale include book covers, briefolios, pencils, pens, mascots, shakers and charm bracelets. The store also serves as the lost and found department. Lost books are brought to the store where the students may redeem them tor a small sum. This year the store has been relocated in the upper student lobby, Where it is more convenient for students and rnay be kept open throughout the day. The proceeds are used to finance the Student Council program which supplies scholarship aid to deserving gradu- ates.

Exploring in Different Ways Service is The chief obiective of our student librarians. Under The direction of Miss Alice Burkhardt, high school librarian, The students receive a Thorough Training in library work. The students participating in The Library Club prepare books and newspapers for circulation, assist schoolmates in locating information, check books in and out of The library, and encourage reading by arranging aTTracTive book dis- plays. The student librarians give up Their study periods, home room periods, and much Time after school To perform These helpful services for The rest of The school. Anyone for exercise and enjoyment? The Bicycle Club, under The direction of Mr. Michael Murphy, offers a chance for both, and an opportunity To see much of The local coun- tryside from The saddle of a cycle. The students who participate in This organized group display stamina and enthusiasm as They pedal Their way To destinations such as Worcester, The Mohawk Trail, or distant places in Connecticut. Club members, who Take in stride any journey within a fifty-mile radius, may be seen cycling Together almost every Saturday during The fall and spring.

I 82 Anal zing and Inventing for the Future Future mathematicians? With rulers, pencils, and slide rules in their hands, the members ot the Math Club investigate var- ious phases ot advanced alge- bra, calculus, and trigonometry beyond those available in the classroom. Supervised by Lind- zay Varnam, the Math Club is aimed at stimulating mathemat- ically inclined students. Club members also have the oppor- tunity of expressing some ot their ideas in exhibits at the an- nual Math Fair held at Techni- cal High School. The members of the Math Club are: First Row: Barbara Condon, Naomi Goring, Margaret Powell, Lindzay Varnam, Susan Crotti, Marcia McKee, Sandra Goldsmith, Deborah Parent. Second Row: Robert Withee, David Bruso, George Cannon, Edward Pease, Anderson Bray, Charles Mueller, Robert Paiak. Third Row: Edward Doty, Richard Edwards, Richard Fortier, Richard Clark, Daniel Lynch, Joseph Couture, Richard Bond. Whatever the problem is it seems to be quite complex. Attempt- ing to come up with the correct answer are lseated left to right:J E. Pease, C. Mueller, R. Edwards. Standing: D. Parent, N. Goring, S. Dotson, J. Couture, R. Bond. The Science Club consists of a group of students that are es- pecially interested in science and wish to investigate various science areas not studied in the school courses. Some of the sci- ence tields are cryogenics, cy- bernetics, atomic physics, and biophysics. The meetings are carried on in a business like manner solely by the students. The adviser of the club is Ed- gar Johnson, and the officers are: Fred Pilon, President, Rob- ert Paiak, Vice-President, Ste- phen Bistran, Secretary, Ron- ald Rossi, Treasurer. The .club members outline the next scheduled activity such as the Science Fair, which they promote and organize, guest speakers, and special science tests. Films are also shown throughout the year.

Investing in the Future Learning to save is one lesson almost every student knows, for ever since grade school, students have been sav- ing for the future. Promoting thrift and economy among the students at West Springfield High School is the task of the student bankers. Each Tuesday morning, under the watchful eye of Miss Margaret Curley, these volunteer bankers go through the banking pro- cess. Every week the student bankers en- courage their homerooms to bank, fig- ure percentages, and carry on other duties of general banking. The money, after passing through the hands of the bankers, is relayed to head tellers, who total the money and turn it over to the bank. Because this procedure is repeated every week, each student has a chance to save for a rainy day. Doubles checking? Gail and Gay Gruppioni recheck banking figures as part of the iob as bank tellers. Homeroom Bankers are, First Row: D. DePhillips, L. Bucko, M. Palmer, R. Racicot, J. Waters, W, Racicot. Second Row: S. Goldsmith, C. Lonzo, P. Lenahan, J. LaPan, L. Taylor, D. Niles, C. Zarlengo, P.

Every Tuesday morning Diane Bradley and Mary Lou Bregoli, bank tellers, approve the bankers' envelopes before sending them to the bank. Homeroom bankers, Joan Baravalle and Lennie Bucko, are also shown. Money, money, money! These are the girls who count it, sort it, and send it on its way. Banking Tellers are: First -Row: D. Bradley, C. Delimat, C. Godek, 5. Griffin. Second Row: B. Lan- dry, Gay Gruppioni, Gail Gruppioni, M. Bregoli, C. Shinkwin, and P. Ferranti.

About eighty enthusiastic members, a talented conductor, a versatile accompanist, a responsive piano, and prodigious Work are what make up the West Springfield High School Chorus. Unoler the direction of Miss Ruth Phelps, the chorus has given several concerts before the student body and the public, and a special con- cert at the Belchertown State School at Christmas time. Each year, members of the chorus try out for District Chorus and for All-State Chorus. This year, the West Springfield High School Chorus was especially happy to have more of its students represented in District Cho- rus than any other city or town in Western Massachusetts. Madrigal singers rehearse many hours after school to prepare- for greater perfection through practice. 84 Performing Varied Programs Other Chorus members are: First row: R. Cupidi, R. Pauquette, L.

Skiing is fast becoming one ot the nation's most popular sports, and West Springfield High School goes hand in hand with the latest trend. This year, the Ski Club, under the direction of Miss Constance Ledger, has a membership ot almost one hundred students. Living in a part of the country where ski areas are readily available, club members are able to plan a program of greater variety. Each Tuesday evening the Ski Club travels to the Mt. Tom Ski Lodge to enioy an evening on the slopes. On February l and 2, West Siders competed against high school skiers from Western Massachusetts and Eastern New York State. Other ski meets were planned with Holyoke, Westfield, and East Longmeadow. Ending a day of skiing, Bob Lonzo looks forward to some warm refreshments along with much gab with other members of the Ski Club in the lodge. Completing a run down one of Mt. Tom's hills is Betsy Johnson, an old hand in this business of skiing. Awaiting tips for better skiing are two mem- bers of the Ski Club: Dianne Serafini and Carol Rushby. 87 Workm Preparing copy, cropping pictures, and meeting deadlines-these are the headaches that go into the production of a yearbook. This year, the yearbook, under the direction of Miss Mariorie F. Costello, was made an extracurricu- lar activity. Staff meetings, late work sessions, and photographic developing were done in after-school time, which may account for the harried looks and haggard faces of the yearbook staff. Money for yearbook production was obtained by the sale of a com- munity calendar. Mrs. Helen L. Cow- ing served as business adviser in this fund-raising activity. t t staff.

Considered before the season to be a strong squad, West Side's football team proved to be iust that, fin- ishing its schedule with a 7-T overall record. This fine showing earned the Terriers a share of the All-West- ern Massachusetts Conference Championship and an all-conference rating for six players. The tough West Side gridders opened the season with a prophetic come-from-behind win over Westfield. Following an easy, independent victory over Pittsfield, West Side defeated previously unbeaten Chicopee. However, West Side was then stormed by Greenfield in a close one, considered one of the maior upsets of the Western Mass. season. The Terriers rebounded magnificently and humbled undefeated Holyoke by H CleCiS- ive 32-T5 score. After slushing past Cathedral in a mud-filled field, West Side entered The Game with arch-rival Agawam. With a good team effort and showing great incentive, the men scored liberally and de- fended ruggedly in grinding out a tough 26-T2 victory. Despite a gloomy day, the season was polished off brightly with a championship-clinching conquest of Tech's Tigers.

The Soccer Team of West Springfield High .School closed out a hard and long season with a lO-4-l record, the best in twenty years. The lively squad, coached by Ted Smith, had many outstanding players. Doug Bessone was selected as West Side's most valuable player, and both he and Carl Poole were elected to.the All-Pioneer Valley Soccer Team. Second team spots went to Bob Golden and Dave Clark. John Hayes and Gary Gasperack received honorable mention. The top scorers of this season were Dave Clark, Gary Gas- perak, and Bob Morrissey, respectively. Special mention goes to Bob Green, who has served faithfully as the Terriers' manager for the past four years. Gary Gasperack carries the ball out of a confu- sion of players toward the Longmeadow goal, as Dave Clark comes up to assist. Junior Varsity players are: First Row: R. Haas, W. Viecelli, K. Harvey. Second Row: Coach Eugene King, R. Gibson, R. Zelinski, R. Dutkiewicz, C. Kamages. 97 Stretching to the Top Capt. Bill Delaney Dan GfadY Coach Bill Wyman Ernie Gibbons ROY!

The tall Terriers were off on a winning season Another game gets under way land another victory for West Sidei, this one with Greenfield. All the players await the outcome of the tap before breaking into action. l Fancy, huh . , , says Gary Gasperack as he out- wits a Greenie defender to score a helpful two points. Players mill around the foul-line in a confused tangle as Dan Grady launches a iump shot. Other West Side players are Ron Colter, Bob Shay, and Hugh Pirnie. with a 4-0 record before Christmas and were looking forward to success against strong oppo- nents in the Christmas Festival. This year's hoop- sters have a smooth blend of experienced sen- iors and sparkling iuniors. Captain Bill Delaney leads the quintet with his sharp-shooting and re- bounding. Coach Wyman's charges experienced a variety of emotions in their first four starts as they rolled to two easy victories, then pulled out two squeak- ers. In the first Pittsfield game, the West Siders outscored their foes in an overtime period to win by only five points. Thrills like these are typical of such a fine team. Jim Girotti leaps high in the air to take a safe lay- up after breaking into the open. Jim Girotti, Gary Gasperack, Carl Poole, and Bill Delaney converge on the ball after a West Side shot has gone astray. 99 Comprising Future Teams Members of the Junior Varsity Basketball team are, First Row, L. to R.: P. Bozenhard, R. Silk, R. Porter, A. Rutherford, W. Oppenheimer. Second Row, L. to R.: R. Augsberger, K. Chapin, M. Delaney, D. Rossi. Third Row, L. to R.: D. Truschelli, J. Sheldon, L. Lusczynski, R. Dutkiewicz. The West Side Varsity gathers around Coach Wyman to get last-minute instructions . . . and to pray for success. A confused tangle of arms and heads signifies the struggle for the control of rebounding. The ball hovers patient- ly overhead as West Side and Agawam players disengage themselves. eu l00 it Carl Poole drives through two Commerce defenders to deposit the ball in the basket. Ken Chapin manages to get a shot off in a Junior Varsity game despite the pressure of two Northampton players. Carl Poole tries his hand at a tricky reverse lay-up.

Tucker, D. Bessone. lOl Icing the Season With a Tournament Bid Watch out! shouts Dave Clark, and Stan Witek reacts with a iab at the puck. Goalie George Tucker, however, not the least bit dismayed, calmly kicks the puck away. The game is hockey, not golf, but Len Bucko still tries using his wood to upset the foes. Despite the loss of six top lettermen from last year's team , the 1963 varsity hockey squad put forth a great team effort in compiling a 6-3-6 record, qualifying for fourth place in the Berry Division of the Western Massachusetts Schoolboy Hockey League. ln view of this record, the Terriers participated in the annual Mas- sachusetts State Schoolboy Hockey Tournament in Boston. This year's team, involved on the tightest Berry Division race in the league's history, played many games under extreme pressure, Each time, the persistent Terriers produced the necessary results. The sparks that ignited the team for every effort were: Don Liebro and Stan Witek, scoring aces, and George Tucker, a steady goalie. Sophomores and iuniors contributed greatly to the team, and offer promise for future years. Among those who saw action consistently were: Don Breveleri and Dave Clark, co-captains elect, Len Bucko, Bob Badone, Marty Smith, Ray Germano, and Don Agnoli. Other senior standouts were: Doug Bessone and Bill Murray. Defense is the thing, says defenseman Don Breveleri. Here he puts theory to prac- tice by foiling a potential scoring bid. Trying to pull a fast one on the opposition is Dave Clark. Dave, having left most of the players on the ice behind, is trying to set up a break-away. Two East Longmeadow forwards gang up on Terrier Don Liebro, heading up ice, in a futile attempt to put the damper on the swift West Side attack. l02 Fighting for Points The J. V. Hockey Team consists of the following: First Row, L. to R.: D. Sheean, R. Morrissey, P. Faulkner, H. Wells, W. Bellamy, R. Michnovetz, G. Cummings. Second Row, L. to R.: Coach Ken Kendig, T. Moynihan, G. Lucas, R. Raina, B. Shippie, R. Grover, J. Vigiliano. Appearing as deserted as two men on an ice floe, Bill Murray and the opposing goalie play a game of wits. Bill tries to maneuver for a score, while the goalie attempts to stall him until help arrives. Don Liebro, who has slipped between the E. Longmeadow defensemen, raps a shot toward the well-protected goal. Veering sharply to avoid hitting The cage, Dave Clark at- tempts to slip the puck past the East Longmeadow goalie. Awaiting any rebounds is Ralph Germano. Victory is ours! is the shout from the varsity hockey squad. Triumph brings smiles to the faces of all concerned, 'from coaches to mascot. IO3 Maintainm Practicing for the Daisy Chain for could they be lined shot?J are tour hoopsters from the Blue and White teams. at the top of the picture would seem to support the al Cries of Yea, Blue! and Come on, White! ring out more and more from the gym where a new look in girls' sports has appeared. This attempt to revive the waning interest in girls' sports has been effected by girls' physical edu- cation instructors Miss Lorraine Harding, Mrs. Harriet Vinick, and Miss Elizabeth Holey. Their plan was designed to increase participation in after-school sports. This year, girls' sports have included field hockey, speedball, basketball, gymnastics, and softball. The group of girls was equally divided into two teams. Each team subdivided and played its own members, until play-offs decided a championship team. Then, the two winners played each other in a tourna- ment to decide the school champions. It is hoped that this may lead to intramurals in the years to come. Sue Kupek 'finds something iperhaps the exercise tech- niques of her classmates! extremely amusing. I04 up for a ternative. Phys1ca1 Fitness Members of a girls' gym class respond to the hup-two of their instructor. Vigorous exercise is important in main- taining good health. foul The basketball Doing push-ups is one good way to stay in shape. Although some girls don't appreciate this exercise, the ones pictured above seem to be en- ioying it thoroughly. Help! cries Jane Gosselin as two opposing players move in t steal the ball. Jane is trying to get off a pass before her fo succeed. 0 ES Stimulating Interest in Sports As can be seen from the accompanying picture, activity is the keynote of girls' gym classes. Here some exuberant girls participate in a basketball game. A slight accident is encountered by three sliders after they have maneua vered almost the whole course. Such mishaps were common occurrences during the sledding season. Exhaustion is the expression written on the faces of Christine Roy Cleftl and Carol Veto after experiencing a breath-taking ride over the snow. Girls' gym classes also have their goof-offs. Here Sue Kupek and a friend wage a towel-war while the rest of the class watch as if enchanted. A new sport popped up on the agenda for girls' sports this year. This unprecedented activity proved to be loads of fun for the girls participating. An unusually cold and snowy winter set the stage for the sledding. Miss Harding and Mrs. Vinick were trying to come up with a new ac- tivity, and suddenly hit upon the idea of using the bad snow to good advantage. A few days later, the slope behind the school was covered with snowrnen running up the hill and sliding down again on large pieces of card- board. Sadly enough, gym classes are not all sport. The girls take regular tests, as in any subiectp and the stillness of the gym is in sharp contrast to the usual noise. IOS Following the Leaders This year the Leaders' Club is comprised of nine girls who are actively interested in physi- cal education. Membership requirements in- sist that each of these girls maintains a B average in gym and at least a C average in all other subiects. The members must also be well versed in sports' regulations. The duties of the Leaders are to direct ex- ercises in girls' gym classes, to referee games, to supervise intramural sports, and to assist the girls' athletic program in whatever capacity they can. Pictured below are Miss Elizabeth Holey and Miss Lorraine Harding, girls' physical education instructors and advisers of the Leaders' Club. i Members of the Leaders' Club take time out from their duties to pose, First Row: Jean Riley, Toni Bessone, Diane Theriaque, Joan Baravalle.

Flach, F. Pilon, B. Gombar, and P. Taylor. Ron Colter and John Hayes prac- tice their starts in preparation for upcoming meets. A fast start is vital in the sprint events. After gaining a year of valuable experience as a young squad, the varsity track team will present great competition to any Valley League opposition. Coach Bill Jones is looking forward to improvement in- the weight and field events. Such improvement would make West Side a definite threat in the Valley League and Western Massachusetts Championships. West Side trackmen won the one-half mile relay, and finished high in many other events, in the 1962 Western Massachusetts Championships. This exhibition, combined with the prospect of many talented new- comers from the sophomore and junior classes, promises a very interesting and successful track season. Returning standouts from last season who will be challenging old records are: Tom Flach, John O'Connor, John Hayes, Wayne Oppenheimer, Ron Colter, Fred Pilon, and Pete Feige. Coach Jones observes the high-iumping tech- nique of George Borelli as he goes up and over. Clearing the bar with ease is pole-vaulter Chris Peterson, who shows how perfection comes with practice. John O'Connor Cthird from leftj is holding his own against stiff Western Massachusetts op- position. John is running the low hurdles, a very exacting event.

Seniors this year will include Bob Faro and Captain Bob Teece lpicturedj, who, along with last year's aces, Gary Webster and Jeff Sar- gent, should lead the Terrier Tehnis Squad to a very successful season. Maynard Connell Stan Witek KI. 5 l i i After losing last year's successful team I through graduation, Coach Larry Goss faces a year of rebuilding.

Good weather having allowed them to move outdoors to the hard- top, infielders start practicing up on ground balls. Coach Crosier hits a ball out to George Tucker and Mike Delaney awaits the throw. This, boys, is a bat, says Coach Dave Crosier jokingly to his co-captains Bill De- laney lleftb and George Tucker. Batting averages show that both Bill and George know how to use it. Coach Dave Crosier has at least one bright spot to look forward to this season, and that'is a nucleus of returning lettermen. This nucleus is formed around Co-captains Bill Delaney and George Tucker, and includes: ace pitchers Bob Golden and Russ Bingham, infielders Rich Vercelli, Dan Grady, and Carl Poole, outfielder Bob Silk, and catcher George Gagliarducci. The return of this strong group of veterans does not mean that new faces will not be seen on the diamond. Many fine members of the J.V. and Freshman squads will be trying to break into the lineup. West Side will present a solid team in the Valley League, which includes such strong teams as Chicopee, Holyoke, and West- field. Returning varsity lettermen to the baseball team are, First Row, L. to R.: D. Lynch, R. Golden, W. Delaney, G. Tucker, G. Gagliarducci, D. Grady. Second Row, L. to R.: Coach Crosier, R. Bingham, R. Vercelli, C. Poole, R. Silk, Mgr. J. Morse. Assistant Baseball Coach Tim Bauman shows pitcher Dan Lynch how to throw the ol' curve. Dan is patiently practic- ing indoors until good weather will allow him to take to the diamond.

Chosen on the basis of schol- arship, enthusiasm, personality, and cheering ability, the pepsters practice many hours to perfect their numerous routines. This year the varsity squad of eight members and the iunior varsity of six members have done their best to boost school spirit at all times-in rain, snow and sunshine, performing coatless in the rain of the Cathedral football game, freezing at the Tech game, and returning from .the Pittsfield Basketball Festival at two in the morning. These girls have certainly served as a strong inspirationito all of our teams. With umbrella in hand and rain bonnefs securely on, Miss Lorraine Harding, Cheryl Poehlman, and Helen Sady, hold a conference Shown above are the iunior varsity cheerleaders who faithfully led fans in supporting our J.V. teams.
