Skillfully playing on the diamond were Dave Cofone, Steve Ruzzo, John Boyle, Peter DePerry, Kenneth Gregory, Louis Cimalori, and Anthony Scaglione. As a result of the spring cheering tryouts, Margaret Capalbo was chosen to become a member of the squad. Twirlers selected from the Junior Class were Sandy Chiaradio and Carol Paladino, captain. We were fortunate to have seven members of our class qualify to belong to the National Honor Society. They were Rae-Ann Algiere, Anita Phillips, Elizabeth Lathrop, Karen Peckham, Susan J. Gavitt, Janice Somerset, and John Winnicki. Our great social event of the Junior Year took the shape of our first formal prom, Barefoot in the Park, for which we transformed the gym into a green park scene, complete with shrubbery, and a blue crepe-paper sky. Seated upon park benches was the queen's court, made up of Emily Sprenglemeyer, Mary Sauer, Rosemarie Gencerella, Sandra Spargo, Gloria Simone, and Ellen Barton. Crowned as our lovely queen was Barbara Quintal. Too soon the gloriously free and lazy days of summer passed. We entered the school realizing that our scholastic career was about to terminate. At last we were the all knowing, all powerful SENIOR CLASS. For the last time we elected class officers whom we knew would be responsible leaders. They were Thomas Gingerella, President; Roger Shea, Vice-President; Ellen Barton, Secretary; Deborah Wills, Social Chairman; and Barbara Quintal, Treasurer. Our Student Council representatives were Prudence Buckley, President; Nicholas Muntimuri, Vice-President; Martha Harris, Secretary, and Michael Nardone. As always, a large numBeTof boys trained by our coaching staff went out for football. Proving their dexterity under co-captains Charlie Vacca and Anthony Scaglione were Richard Asten, John Boyle, Jim Burgie, Scott Coulombe, Louie Cimalori, Don Gentile, Gary Gulino, Bob Gervasini, Mike Gurino, Ermando Leonetti, Mike McGuire, Nick Muntimuri, Dan Pucci, Roger Shea, and Steve Ruzzo with Joe Iacoi and Ernie Vacca as managers. Following basketball captain Steve Capizzano into many victories were Jim Burgie, and Jay Steverman. The time left in our Senior Year is quickly diminishing, and we are finding ourselves involved in so many activities that there is barely time to stop and take notice of how short our high school years actually were. We are now exchanging our senior pictures with the many friends that we have made during our years here. We are now looking forward to those activities which our Senior Year warrants. Preparations are being made for our Senior Prom which will be held in March off school grounds. We are beginning to look toward Senior Week which includes our picnic and banquet and which terminates with our long anticipated graduation. This will mark the start of a whole new era in our lives, and, whether we look ahead with expectation or with anxiety, we will always be able to look back to our years at Westerly High School as forever precious. MARTHA J. HARRIS

CLASS HISTORY Three years ago, we the graduating class of 1969 entered Westerly High School as sophomores, awed by both the size of the school and the upperclassmen. We were determined to make our years here memorable by our achievements in athletic, scholastic, and social endeavors. We first established our active existence by electing our political leaders for our sophomore year. They were Anthony Scaglione, President; Charles Vacca, Vice-President; Barbara Qunital, Secretary; and Ellen Barton, Social Chairman. We elected Janice Somerset, Kathy Edgar, Carol Sammataro, and Donna Wood to help represent the student body by serving on the Student Council. Determined to prove our athletic prowess on the football field were Dan Pucci, Nick Muntimuri, Louis Cimalore, Peter DePerry, Louis Selvidio, Charlie Vacca, Don Gentile, Anthony Scaglione, Fred Green, Jerome Haberek, John Boyle, Mike McGuire, Rich Fontaine, Steve DePerry, Gary Gulino, Mike Guarino, and John Trebisacci. Further illustrating our sporting ability were Steve Capiz-zano and Jim Burgie who appeared on the basketball court. On the baseball diamond we found sophomores Nick Muntimuri, John Boyle, John Pelt, Pete DePerry, Ken Gregory, Frannie Christina, and Steve Ruzzo. The theme for our Sophomore Hop was Around the World in Eighty Days,” and the gym was tastefully decorated with flowery balloons and travel posters to perfectly correspond with the title. Surrounding our gracious queen, Rosemarie Gencarella, was her beauteous court consisting of Joan MacDonald, Marilyn Azzinaro, Ellen Barton, Prudence Buckley, Carol Sammataro, and Valerie Luther. Our long-awaited summer vacation slipped by much too rapidly in our opinion, and we entered Westerly High for the second time with much more confidence. The hallways were by then familiar to us and the teachers were old friends. Elected for our class officers were Kenneth Gregory, President; Thomas Gingerella, Vice-President; Ellen Barton, Secretary-Treasurer; and Barbara Quintal, Social Chairman. As Student Council Representatives we elected Janice Somerset, Prudence Buckley, Martha Harris, and Michael Nardone. Actively participating in sports were Jim Burgie, Richard Asten, Bob Gervasini, Ermando Leonetti, Scott Coulombe, Roger Shea, and Steve Ruzzo, who were additions to the football team from the preceding year. Again representing our Junior Class on the basketball court were Steve Capizzano and Jim Burgie. To cheer these athletes on to victory were Marilyn Azzinaro, Barbara Quintal, Elizabeth Kirby, and Kathy Stellitano, captain of the 1969 cheering squad. Twirlers selected from this class were Carol Paladino and Barbara Quintal.
