Text from Pages 1 - 132 of the 1959 volume:

She Slue °f lAJedthrooh Sd School lAJedtbrooh, aine Dlie CL55 of 1959 f- redentd BENJIE May we introduce Benjie, the most popular cricket of Westbrook High School, who has been with us since the winter of 1956. Since we have never seen him, the portraits which follow are purely imaginative; however, we all have heard him. At every play, im- portant assembly, or activity held in the auditorium, his high soprano voice is clearly heard. We, the student body, have finally accepted Benjie as a reality and he is making his debut by appearing in the 1959 Blue and White. We hope all of you will accept and like him as have the students of Westbrook High. 3 BLUE A WHITE TD UNDERCLASSMEN PAGE 41 ACTIVITIES PAGE 49 FACULTY PAGE 9 SENIORS PAGE 15 TABLE OF CONTENTS 7 DR. LEO C. LEMIEUX We, the class of 1959, wish to dedicate the Blue and White to Dr. Leo C. Lemieux. Dr. Lemieux has been the team physician at Westbrook High as long as any of our class can remember. He has diligently performed his tasks and has always been one of the team's most ardent fans, giving the boys encouraging support. We wish to thank him for being our team physician and hope that he will continue to be an ardent fan of W.H.S. for many years to come. 8 FACULTY AND STAFF 9 GALEN I.

This evaluation consists of a very compre- hensive study of the various departments in the high school, as well as the physical facilities of the school plant. It requires a great deal of effort on the part of all the teachers, each of whom must serve on at least three committees during the year. As part of this evaluation, Westbrook High will be visited by a committee of educators from various other secondary schools in the state of Maine. This committee will be at the school for three days visiting classes, conferring with teachers and administrators, and preparing their report, which will be read to the faculty at the close of the three-day visitation. This evaluation is required at least every ten years to maintain satisfactory standing with the New England Association. Besides accreditation, this evaluation makes it possible for the faculty to become more aware of strengths and weaknesses and to make recommendations for making a good school better. 34 Left to Right: R.

Soon our three years at Westbrook High School will be only memories instead of an actuality. We are grateful and proud to have had the privilege of being the first class to complete three full yeari at our beautiful new high school. In order that we may show our appreciation to the school for its many contributions, we have undertaken many fund-raising projects to enable us to present the school with a small token of our great esteem. One project was the concession stand at the Class M Tournament held in our Westbrook High School gym. During the year, we also received our class pins and enjoyed displaying them. As our yearbook goes to press, we are anticipating that long awaited day when we shall be able to wear our caps and gowns, to walk down the aisle of our auditorium, and to receive the coveted diplomas, which we all have worked sc hard to obtain. 35 Ready to Embark Olympic Stadium ANAFS STUDENT REPORTS It was a wonderful trip last summer and very educational — an experience I never would have had, had it not been for the Westbrook Rotary Club. American Field Service, for those of you who are not acquainted with it, is a non-profit organi- zation formed to promote international under- standing through student exchange. Last year, AFS brought more than 1600 foreign high school students to the United States for a year and organized summer programs abroad in seven- teen countries for more than 700 American high school juniors. The AFS Summer Scholarships are not a tourist type of trip; rather, they provide a family-type relationship between the student and his hosts. This, to my mind, is the most effective program that could be established. Instead of receiving a superficial impression of many countries and people, the AFS student gets a down-to-earth, realistic idea of what the people in one country are really like. As a matter of fact, he becomes so much a part of the family he stays with that it is very hard to part with them. He comes to think of the boys and girls in the family as his brothers and sisters — the mother and father almost as his own. The summer program is such that a high school must be host to one or more foreign students for a winter session before it can send one of its juniors abroad. As all of you are aware, I am sure, Mark Rauh, from Switzerland, was here in Westbrook last winter on the AFS program and made a tremendously favorable impression upon everyone in this community. In talking with other Americans who made the trip this summer, I found that this impression is usual everywhere. At present, the Westbrook Rotary Club is financing a foreign student here in the winter and a WHS student abroad the following summer every other year. This is not enough! It would certainly be a wonderful thing for the city of Westbrook if enough people here would take an interest in AFS to insure that this pro- gram could be undertaken on a yearly basis. The cost of this program is rather large, though perhaps not so large as one might expect. My complete expenses for the summer (including $525 from the Rotary) were $575, plus transpor- tation to Montreal and from New York and plus the cost of the film I used. The cost for a winter student is somewhat more. Of the three months I was gone from West- brook, one was spent in traveling. Nearly all of us went by ship for several very good reasons: a better opportunity to become acquainted with one another, time to become accustomed to the idea of living in Europe and to learn a few new habits, and an opportunity to try to learn the language of the host country. We were also pre- pared, to some extent for some of the customs we could expect to meet in Europe which might seem strange to us at first. Fifty-two AFS-ers of the 700 on the program went to Finland. I was one of them. From the first, we were more or less grouped together to learn the language and customs of the country and something about its economic and govern- mental structure. We learned that Finland is a relatively small country, although quite large in respect to the others in Scandinavia. It has a president and a cabinet, with a Diet that corre- sponds somewhat to our Congress. 36 Its monetary system is based on the Finnish mark, which is now worth approximately three one-thousandths of a dollar. Its chief source of wealth is its lumbering and paper industry. Westbrook's own S. D. Warren Company is af- filiated with a paper mill in Finland. I stayed first with the Hakalas, a farming family in the south-central part of Finland, about sixty miles north of Helsinki, the capital, on the southern coast. They have a 300-acre grain farm. Matti, the older boy, is 18 and, like me, very much interested in radio. He is an active member of the Finnish-American Society, which sponsored Adlai Stevenson's brief visit there last summer. Sixteen-year-old Juho is the sportsman of the family. The youngest member of the family is Aulikki, a pretty lass ten years of age. It was a time of mixed feelings to leave the family I had been such an integral part of for more than a month. There was an intense sad- ness in knowing that I might never in my life see them again. At the same time, however, there was an excitement, a spirit of going on to new and interesting things. The next family was quite a change from the first. I was now in a suburban residential area outside Helsinki. There were four children in the family, all speaking English. The girls, Tuula, 19, and Pirkko, 17, were the oldest. Kimmo, 16, and llkka, 13, were the boys. Mrs. Turpeinen, their mother, is a noted gynecologist and has been in the U. S. several times. They live in a spacious house which sits on top of a big rock. I could look from my bed- room window down upon the water of the Gulf of Finland, only three hundred yards away. We made it a practice to take a swim at least once a day. A little less than a week before we were scheduled to leave Finland, AFS planned a three- day program in Helsinki, when we visited the American Embassy, met the American Ambas- sador, and were given a bus tour of the most famous spots in and around Helsinki. We saw the gigantic Olympic Stadium and the largest church in Finland. We heard talks by famous government personalities. Politically speaking, Finland is a democratic- socialist country. She tries to remain neutral but her extremely close economic ties with Russia greatly restrict her freedom. The Finns have had several tastes of Russian domination, and they dearly love their present freedom, having been forced to fight for it twice in thirty years. On August 25, 1958, fifty-two sad American boys and girls left the shores of the land that had been their home for much too short a time. The return to Rotterdam, a trip of three days and two nights of continuous travel, was tiresomely taken by train and ferry. As the train rolled into Rotterdam late in the afternoon of August 28, we all felt mighty glad that we were finally going to be able to get out of our traveling clothes, take showers, sleep in real beds, and stow our bags some place other than between our feet for the first time in more than fifty-six hours. Then we slept... I Besides eating, sleeping, and basking in the warm Gulf Stream sun, we were still to have one more shipboard experience. Two days before our scheduled arrival in New York, the engines broke down. As is always the case on shipboard, wild rumors immediately began flying around. Some said mechanics would be unable to repair the engines and we would have to sit there for ten days while tugs were dispatched from New York. But as it turned out, it took the crew only eighteen hours to repair the engines and we were on our way, arriving a day late in New York, however. After spending a day in New York with my cousin and his family, I returned home to my waiting parents. After being on the road for more than two weeks, it is a comfortable feeling to be back home. This was Saturday. What was Monday? You guessed it—Back-to-School Day for a wandering Westbrookite!

Foster; treasurer R. Porter; president, P. Lefebvre; vice-president, A. Spiers. SOPHOMORES We, the sophomore class, were introduced to an entirely new environment on September 4, 1958. The prospect of our high school life, including many varied activities, social functions, and new academic challenges, was enticing. Electing class officers was our first major project. Those elected were presi- dent, Peter Lefebvre; vice-president, Allen Spiers; secretary, Deanna Foster; and treasurer, Richard Porter. Susan Knight was chosen to represent our class in the Student Council. Twenty-five of our class members, working diligently throughout the year, made the Honor Roll. They are as follows: Theresa Arsenault, Peter Bernier, Origene Filiault, Elaine Kimball, Richard LaBrecque, Earl Libby, Carlene Maguire, Donna Lee Manson, Jacqueline Morabito, Edward Needham, Ruth Nickerson, Rita Norton, Sylvia Vance, Joan Woods, Mark Anderson, Marguerite Bernard, Nathalie Cox, Patricia Elwell, Bette Lee Graham, Roy Hale, Patricia Langis, Linda LaPierre, Maureen McPhee, Harolene Raymond, and Sharon Roberts. The following members participated in debating: Thomas Ryan, Patricia Richards, Patricia Elwell, Ruth Nickerson, Robert McClelland, Linda Christensen, and Linda Kimball. Well-represented in the school's music program, the sophomore class had thirty-four in band, forty-seven in chorus, eight in dance band, and five in Gallonaires. Athletics were popular with both our boys and girls. Several members participated in football, and a varsity letter was received by John Gillette. Others participating were Peter Brawn, George Barbour, William Conners, Lanny Emery, Edward Fernald, Origene Filiault, Peter Lefebvre, and Clifford Plummer. Basketball was a sport tremendously enjoyed by all sophomores, both participants and spectators. Excelling in this sport were Janet Cragin, Judith Cumberland, Jean Dame, Judith Herbert, Linda LaPierre, Roxana Leighton, Cynthia Sanford, John Gillette, William Conners, Peter Lefebvre, Peter Brawn, and Lanny Emery. The cheerleaders provided the spark at our games; Dianne Hansen and Diana Blake represented the class of '61. Deanna Foster and Patricia Elwell were included in the J. V. cheerleaders. We, of the sophomore class, feel very proud to have been a part of Westbrook High School for the year 1958-1959. 48 ACTIVITIES Left to Right: R. Travis, S. Pinkham, C. Peters, S. Libby. NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY Each year, after serious consideration, candi- dates are selected for membership in the National Honor Society on the basis of scholarship, leader- ship, character, and service. Undoubtedly, mem- bership to this group is the highest honor that is granted to any student in high school. Four members of the senior class, Suellen Libby, Cynthia Peters, Sharon Pinkham, and Robert Travis, Jr., were able to meet all require- ments and received the honor of membership in this national organization their junior year. Possibly the biggest day in the lives of these four students was April 6, 1958, when the tradi- tional tapping ceremony was held. Following this, the induction ceremony, which was both impressive and inspiring, was conducted in the auditorium in May by faculty members, society officers,and members. Although the National Honor Society is not a service club, the members are frequently called upon to provide services for their school. Each spring, during orientation day, members, acting as guides, explain the physical plant of the school to the incoming sophomores. The Westbrook Chapter, under the capable guidance of its adviser. Principal Roy A. Robin- son, has endeavored to uphold the high standards of this organization, the Phi Beta Kappa of high schools. 50 First Row, Back to Front: A. Spiers, H. Grant, P. Lefebvre, S.

The officers were as follows: ably swinging the presidential gavel, Irvine Marsters, Jr.; a ready-to-serve vice- president, Jack Estes; and an efficient secretary- treasurer, Susan Knight. The student body contributed generously to the canned-food drive under the council's sponsor- ship. Under the fine leadership of Mr. Jordan, the Student Council completed many other pro- jects during the school year, such as the school handbook and the organization of a Highway Safety Club. On November 21-22, the State Convention of Student Councils was held at Deering High School. A most profitable session was the answer of the eighteen members who repre- sented Westbrook High. Once again, W. H. S. saw an active Student Council in action. First Row, Left to Right: L. Kimball, M. Brochu, J. Titcomb, W. Browne. Second Row: V. Bradley, W. Watson, P. Richards, P. Elwell.

DEBATINQ The fourth year of debating at Westbrook High has been one of building, because the entire varsity team was graduated last year. This left only inexperienced members, six juniors and eight sophomores. Westbrook entered the Bates League Panel Dis- cussions on November seventh. Harriett Billings and William Watson participated in the advanced panels, while Patti Elwell, Judith Titcomb, Thomas Ryan, and Albert Verrill were members of the novice divisions. The timely topic for discussion was What features of British education would best serve the people of the United States? The school is very proud of Patti Elwell and Albert Verrill, who placed first in their panels. On December sixth, Ruth Nickerson and Thomas Ryan represented Westbrook in the Bowdoin Lea- gue Debates. The difficult but interesting ques- tion for debate was Resolved: That there should be a significant change in our policy toward Communist China. A wonderful time was en- joyed by both the debaters and the observers. We have had several practice debates with other schools, including Portland, South Portland, and Thornton Academy. 52 First Row, Left to Right: J. Daley, J. Warren, M. Tedford, N. Main, L. Theriault.

Any girl who is taking such a course may become a member. What is its goal? The over-all goal is to help individuals improve personal, family, and community living, now and in the future. FHA has done much to promote international goodwill by sending gifts to under- privileged children abroad. It also strives to further interest in home economics. FHA mem- bers are the builders of homes------today and tomorrow. 53 First Row, Left to Right: D. Semple, P. Letarte, J. Buteau, C. Boudreau, C. Brochu, C. Hurtubise, B. Nadeau, P. Wills, J.

FUTURE BUSINESS LEADERS OF AMERICA A chapter of the Future Business Leaders of America, the national youth organization for business students, is in its second year at West- brook High School. Under the guidance of Mrs. Conners and Mrs. Thompson, the club has be- come one of the most popular in school. Its mem- bership has increased greatly this year. The highlight of the year was the formal in- stallation of officers in October. Mrs. Harold Chaplin, president of the Westbrook Business and Professional Women's Club, presented the charter to the new president of FBLA, Claudette Brouchu. Others on the installing team were Mrs. Day, Mrs. Higgins, and Mrs. Hamilton, also members of the BPW Club. The candlelight ceremony conducted by the officers, sponsors, and charter members, was held in the school auditorium. It was most impressive and everyone enjoyed it. Parents, as well as school officials, were invited to witness the ceremonies. Guest speakers at the program meetings in- cluded Mr. Hooghkirk, the head of the Medical Division at Westbrook Junior College, Mrs. Sud- burgh of the Maine Employment Security Com- mission and Mrs. Fogg, head secretary at State Mutual Fire Insurance Company. All of the speakers gave interesting and enlightening talks. Officers for the year were as follows: Presi- dent, Claudette Brochu; vice-president, Constance Boudreau; secretary. Carmen Hurtubise; treas- urer, Judy Buteau; reporter, Beatrice Nadeau, and historian, Judy Berube. 54 First Row, Left to Right: S. Simpson, J. Titcomb, J. Saunders, S. Libby, I. Marsters, R. Fitz, T.

It has maintained exceptionally high standards under the capable leadership of Irvine Marsters, president; the in- fluence of talented Suellen Libby, vice-president; the efficient and effective assistance of Toni Mer- rill, secretary; and the financial management of Robert Fitz, treasurer. The officers and members are ably guided by their enthusiastic adviser, Mrs. Hutchinson. The purposes of the club are to encourage further education and to promote better social relations within our school. To accomplish these purposes, the club has secured inspiring speakers, staged the traditional bonfire rally in the fall, and has sponsored the annual social event, the Stardust Ball. The theme for the 1959 ball was a Japanese Garden, complete with pagodas, parasols, and cherry blossoms. 55 First Row, Left to Right: S. Robie, B. Young, P. Turgeon, R. Vance, H. Ferguson, E.

The club is also proud to announce that the boys are building another house on Libby Avenue right across from the one constructed last year. The boys have done a terrific job on the house and have gained helpful experience for their future vocations. At press time, the club has made tentative plans for trips to both Augusta and Boston.

The local science fair was held in March. From those projects presented, the outstanding ones were sent to other competitive fairs held in the state. Bob Fitz, the president, was highly complimented on his unusual study of the infrared rays of the sun's spectrum. The club meetings were made interesting and instructive through the use of films on various scientific topics. Mr. Whitney Osgood spoke to the group on the preparation and opportunities in the paper industry and Douglas Sterling, the vice-president, gave a demonstration of a spectroscope which he built. The trip to Boston was made in December. Among the interesting places visited was Science Park. Students hope that this trip will become an annual event. 58 First Row, left to Right: L. May, B.

LE CERCLE FRANCAIS On September 17, 1958, the first meeting of the French Club was held. The results of the election of officers were as follows: Betty Lou Sangillo, president; Rachel LaBrecque, vice-presi- dent; Anita Charest, secretary; and Sandra Simp- son, treasurer. One of the successful fund-raising activities of the club was the sale of blue and white booster pins. A bi-annual event of the French Club is the fun-filled trip to Canada. Last May, a bus loaded with eager students started its journey to Quebec and a weekend of unforgettable events. After nine hours of travel, the students hur- riedly carried their luggage into the Chateau Frontenac and then left quickly to explore Quebec. During this weekend, the students saw many historical and beautiful sights. Mr. and Mrs. Rolfe, the chaperones, allowed the students to have fun but made sure that all were in their rooms on the stroke of midnight. On Sunday morning, a group of tired, but happy, students climbed into the bus and returned to Westbrook. They will never forget their won- derful trip to Canada. Because the students enjoyed themselves so tremendously last year, all the members of the French Club have been working diligently to raise money for a future trip to Canada. 59 First Row, Left to Right: R.

Sponsored by the local Kiwanis Club, it is a service organization devoted to bettering conditions existing in our city and school. This year, the Key Club members collected many old toys and spent innumerable hours re- pairing them, to make them suitable Christmas gifts for unfortunate children who might have been otherwise forgotten. The members who delivered these toys the day before Christmas were filled with a feeling of accomplishment as they witnessed the acceptance of their work by grateful parents. The Key Club has a two-fold purpose: to serve the needs of the school and to help in every way possible its individual members. To show its appreciation to the faculty for their help and en- couragement, it sponsored a Teachers' Apprecia- tion Day. Through guest speakers, joint meetings with members of other Key Clubs and attendance at the annual convention, the members were enabled to secure individual help, inspiration and sociability. Under the direct supervision of Mr. Irwin, the club was governed by the following capable officers: Irvine Marsters, president; David Wilson, vice-president; Robert Silva, secretary; and Robert Fitz, treasurer. The Westbrook High School Key Club of '58-'59 is proud of its accomplishments for the past year and hopes that in succeeding years, it will con- tinue to make worthwhile contributions toward a better school, city, state and county.

This year, the following officers, with their faculty adviser. Mr. Bogdanovich, presided over the meetings which were held every other Tuesday . Mike Fran- coeur, president; Robert Wescott, vice-president; Betty Lou Sangillo, secretary; and Raymond Caron, treasurer. Selling programs at the foot- ball games and having the concession stand at some of the basketball games have brought in money which is to be set aside for purchasing a projector. This projector will enable the student body to see the games in which our teams have competed. Concession Stand First Row, Left to Right: N. Peters, D. Semple, C. Maines, G. Beaudoin, L. Dyhrberg, D.

The following were elected as officers: Grace Beaudoin, editor; Carolee Maines and Larry Dyhrberg, managing editors; Donna Semple, business manager; and Donna Boissonneau, circulation manager. Reporters were Faye Chris- tensen, Vivian Boisvert, Carmen Hurtubise, Beat- rice Nadeau, Vivian Bradley, Darleen Suomela, Sandra Little, Gladys Annis, Suellen Libby, Patricia Kennie, Rita Phaneuf, Ronald Hurd, Richard Watson, Nancy Peters, Linda Barbour, Simone Duguay, Joanne Markos, Elaine Eldridge, Priscilla Bernier, Priscilla Roma, Janice Clark, Rita Norton, Maureen McPhee, William Jackson, Elaine Fraser, Barrie Herbert, Mildred Ross, Patrica Wills, Jane Andrews, Collin Buxton, Susan Jane Webb, Sharon Down, Linda Kimball, and Sylvia Vance. During the year the newspaper, published monthly, not only reported the school news, but had many interesting articles on the lastest hit tunes, a sports-review, jokes to fit everyone's humor and many other articles of interest. A regular feature was a report on club activities. The newspaper staff had money-raising proj- ects other than the sale of newspapers; one of these was a spaghetti supper, which was very successful despite a postponement. The illustrations have added more to the paper this year. The Valentine issue featuring five of the current pairs of sweethearts was especially attractive. First Row, Left to Right: C. Peters, S.

They waited very patiently for this annual trip to our nation's capital. When the club was formed in 1958, Betty Lou Sangillo was elected president and Jane Lyden, treasurer. Miss Abbott and Mr. Dolan advised the group on all its activities. The Holly Ball was their project this year. All the members worked together to make it a success. During their trip, they visited such interesting places as the Lincoln Memorial, the Congressional buildings, and the Empire State Building. Mr. and Mrs. Maurice Getchell of the Junior High School chaperoned the trip. 63 First Row, Left to Right: Nadene Smith, C. Peters, J. Laflfin, F. Sampson, B. Billings, D. Hay, J. McClellan.

LATIN CLUB The Latin Club is an organiza- tion open to all students currently taking Latin or who have com- pleted one year of Latin. The officers of the club are consul, Fred Sampson; pro-con- sul, Bette Jane Billings; quaestor, Janet Laffin; scriba, Dorcas Hay. There are at present twenty- eight active members who meet every other Tuesday under the guidance of Mrs. Moody. The business meetings have been fol- lowed by enjoyable programs consisting of humorous skits, games, and songs. At one special meeting Robert Travis, the school's exchange student this summer, gave an account' of his trip to Finland. SKI CLUB This winter has seen a lack of snow which prevented the usual trips to various ski slopes. A schedule has been outlined, however, and will be carried out, weather permitting. Anyone was eligible to join whether he was a skier or not. The club afforded a good opportu- nity to learn skiing with proper instruction. Until one has tried this winter sport, he does not know the thrill of zooming down the snow-packed hills with the wind whistling about his ears and sting- ing his face. If one is unfamiliar with the sport and wishes to learn something about it, he might join the group and rent the necessary equipment at the ski resorts. First Row, Left to Right: W. Zahares, B.

Among these were the football games, the Hal- loween Parade, All Westbrook Night, the dedica- tion of the Charles Loring Jr. Memorial Highway, school assemblies, the National Guard's chil- dren's Christmas party, the Cumberland County Teachers' Convention, and a few joint concerts with other high school bands. Last spring, the band participated in the West- ern Maine Music Festival and also marched in the annual Memorial Day Parade. The band has greatly improved in quality as well as in size. It is now considered as good as any of the neighboring school bands. It's a credit to the city, the school, the band, and director. This spring, the band will journey to Foxboro, Massachusetts, and present a joint concert with another high school band. This performance will be followed by another joint concert in our audi- torium by their band and ours. The color guard has added to the appearance and showmanship of the band. These boys, un- der the direction of Norman Jordan, have won praise at every performance in which they have appeared. The band is led by nine high-stepping major- ettes who add much to the appearance of the marching band. They also give variety to con- certs with their impressive routines. The majorettes, band, and color guards pro- vide color, enjoyment, and prestige to both the student body as individuals and the school as a whole. CHORUS The chorus has had another successful year under the skillful direction of Mr. Delulio. Mem- bership remained high which shows a continued interest in this musical activity. The student body enjoyed their concerts at various assemblies and public appearances which showed them, as well as others, how this well-trained group performed. The spring concert was a big event, as always, and was well attended. This year the chorus also held a joint concert with Brunswick High School which was very successful. Good training and hard work have given the chorus an enviable reputation and praise from all. Last year four quartets were selected and named the Gallonaires. They have continued to remain popular and have retained their original name although Mr. Delulio found it necessary to add two sopranos to balance the boys' voices. At press time members included Marilyn Sawyer, Marie Norton, Judith Swan, Patricia Cormier, Anita Hale, Harriett Billings, Peggy Morton, Janice Down, Diane Lowe, Frances Lavigne, Jon Swan, Thomas Kemp, Nathan Jewell, Stephen Robie, Norman Jordan, John Merrill, Robert Mc- Clelland, and David Merrill. They have performed for the Woman's Club and at school assemblies, and even on television. They, too, deserve considerable praise. Gallonaire Members ALL WESTBROOK N1QHT Benjie looks back to November 17 when the captain, Irvine Marsters, with the able assistance of the social director, Toni Merrill, called All aboard to talented students of Westbrook High School. The entire cruise of the S.S. WESTBROOK brought forth both talent and laughs. Mrs. Libby, the cast, and the crew received many congratulations for another smashing success.

OUR LIBRARY This year, the library has been greatly im- proved through the efforts of Miss Marian Chick, our first fulltime librarian. She has purchased many new books, set up a more efficient check- out system, and is constantly available to answer questions and to aid in finding reference material. Without the generous help of the many stu- dents who willingly gave up their study periods to help in marking, typing, filing, and checking, the smooth operation of the library would not have been possible. Among these helpful stu- dents are Harolene Raymond, Jane Andrews, Judith Titcomb, Harriett Billings, Constance Cote, Flora Bunker, Doris Gosselin, Carol Bruce, Con- stance Moreau, Patricia Richards. Grace Landry, Theresa Arsenault, Philip Mondville, Stephen Waterhouse, Jack Merrill, George Lord, Richard Watson, Mildred Ross, Gladys Annis, Stephen Graham and Beatrice Nadeau. An additional bookcase, built by the boys of the woodworking class under the direction of Mr. Alvin Trundy, not only adds much to the at- tractiveness of the room but also provides a place for the thousand new books which have so far been added. More than a thousand more are necessary before the school will receive full accreditation. Seated: H. Raymond, Miss Chick, J. Andrews, J. Titcomb, H. Billings, C. Cote, F. Bunker.

CHEERLEADERS The cheerleaders have led the boosting yells of the loyal supporters at all the football and basketball games and helped cheer the team to victory. They have promoted school spirit with their eager participation in all-school rallies. The cheering squad discarded their old uniforms this year for new royal blue outfits. Proudly, they have actively taken their part in Westbrook High School's athletic program. J.V. CHEERLEADERS Left to Right: D. Prince, E. Elwell, D. Hay, $. Knudsen, D. Foster, B. Nadeau, B.

After losing their opener to high-ranked Deering, the Blue Blazes, with a terrific combination of individual stardom and team spirit, forged ahead through five straight victories. One after another, the grid teams of Cheverus, Brunswick, Mexico, Sanford, and Portsmouth fell before the onslaught of Westbrook's eleven-man dynamo of activity. Had there been more games on the schedule, the Blazes probably would have had a good chance in competition for the Class B cup. Next year's team will really feel the loss of nine of this year's offensive men. Hitting the graduation trail will be Bob Wescott, Ray Caron, Wayne Cutter, Andre Lestage, Mike Francoeur, Armond Gouzie, David Cote, Fred Sampson, and Ralph Sanderson. 73 Bucket Lestage practices blocking under the watchful eye of Coach Mickey Dolan.

BLAZER THINCLADS ROMP TO SUCCESSFUL SEASON In the spring of 1958, the Westbrook High School track team had its most successful season in many years, winning three, placing second once, and losing none. Roland Baird and Ron Hurd led the team throughout the season, Baird ending competition with 68 points and Hurd following suit with 95. Hurd's efforts in the-440 and half mile earned him a position on the Maine State squad in the New England track meet. Bob Consalvo was also a consistent winner in the mile. Closely following him were Jeff Milliken, a standout in the high jump with 33 points, and Dick Cote with 31 points. Cote was strong in the weights for the Blazer thinclads. Westbrook's 1959 track team has only Hurd and Consalvo returning. For the first time in its history, Westbrook High had a cross-country team the fall of '58. Although, because of lack of experience, the Blazes did not place first as a team. Captain Bob Consalvo consistently placed among the top three. At the Suburban Cross-Country Meet, Consalvo captured first place and set a new league record. Also on the newly instituted Blazer team were Ron Hurd, Johnny Amoroso, Robert Preston, Carleton Hurd, and Ronny Harnois. 76 Front Row, Left to Right: M. Francoeur, R. Waterman, R. Wescott, J.

Every member of last year's starting team will be back in uniform this spring with the exception of right fielder Jack Davan. Bob Wescott led the local combine in the hitting department with a 334 batting average and was also one of the top hitters in the Tele- gram League. Ronnie Waterman and Johnny Amoroso were the top pitchers on the squad with two wins each, while sophomore Ric Dolloff had one. The Blazes collected one early season win over the Portland Bulldogs 5-4 and climaxed the season with another exciting 4-3 triumph. These two wins, coupled with victories over Biddeford 13-5 and 3-2 and a singleton over South Portland were the win totals for the Blazes this year. Members of last year's team were: Ray Caron, Jack Estes, Paul Brawn, Bob Wescott, Johnny Amoroso, Ronnie Waterman, Mike Francoeur, Bob Fitz, Steve Gain, Jack Davan, Ric Dolloff, Jon Roma, and Ed Phillips.

Westbrook High's varsity basketball team finished their 1958-59 season with a ten and ten record. Victories during the season were over Bruns- wick, Edward Little, Portland, Chev- erus, Morse, Portsmouth and Bangor. The Blazer quintet finished in seventh place on the Heal ranking system and played Deering High in the tourna- ment. In the wildest and most exciting game of the tournament, Westbrook lost to the Rams 63-61 in overtime. The members of the team were as follows: Sophomores—Johnny Gillette and Bill Conner, juniors—Larry Dyhr- berg and Ronny Hurd, and seniors— Mike Francoeur, Bob Wescott, Johnny Amoroso, Ronnie Waterman, Don Buteau and Andre Lestage. Sophomore Johnny Gillette led the Blazes in scoring, averaging 13.4 points a game. He was followed closely by Ronnie Waterman, with 11.3. Then came Johnny Amoroso, 10.9, Mike Francoeur, 9.9, Don Buteau, 9.5, Bob Wescott, 6.4, Ron Hurd, 3.5, Bucket Lestage, 2.1, Larry Dyhrberg, 2.1, and Bill Conner, 2.0. The Blazes averaged 56.1 points a game, as compared with 51.9 scored by the opposition. Six of the ten members of the var- sity will be graduating, leaving Coach Davan only four members to build a team around next season. Returning will be Johnny Gillette, Bill Conner, Ron Hurd, and Larry Dyhrberg. 80 INflttKY OCOt First Row, Left to Right: S. Welch, M. Waterhouse, J. Buteau, S. Pinlcham, L. Peterson, N. Whitney, C.

Q1RLS’ BASKETBALL Nearly fifty girls tried out for basketball this year; and much excitement was shown when the day arrived for Miss Rich, the coach, to choose the team. Those who came out on top were as follows: for the varsity team, Sharon Pinkham, captain; Donna Boissonneau, Judy Buteau, Vir- ginia Forbis, Shirley Harriman, Claetus LaPierre, Nancy Peters, Linda Peterson, Linda Pinkham, Marcia Waterhouse, Sharon Welch, and Nancy Whitney. The girls made a good start by defeat- ing Gorham in their first game; their final record was 3 wins and 4 losses. The girls on the J.V. team were as follows: Janet Cragin, captain; Judy Cumberland, Jean Dame, Judy Herbert, Linda LaPierre, Roxanna Leighton, Martha Milliken, Judy Murphy, and Lyla Pinkham. The result of their games was 2 wins and 4 losses. Cecile Gallant was the man- ager of the two teams and Carole Dunbar was her assistant. The squads were disappointed that two scheduled games were canceled because of storms. Although they were not outstanding, all of the girls enjoyed playing and were sorry when the last game had been played and the season came to an end. First Row, Left to Right: J. Herbert, M.

ARCHERY A Archery, offered for the first time, was enthusiastically received. In the fall, the girls did much practicing for a possible spring tournament. At first, it seemed to be an impossible feat to hit the bull's-eye but when the season ended, many were hitting it. SWIMMING Each Tuesday saw much splashing in the Y.M.C.A. pool when thirty-seven Westbrook High School girls appeared for swimming. Events were set up so the qirls could have intramural competition. BOWLING This is the second year of bowling. Thirty- six girls arrived at the Colonial Bowling Alley every Wednesday afternoon where they di- vided into nine teams. The teams competed in a round-robin and trophies were awarded to the winner.
