CLASS HISTORY Three years ago the senior class entered Westerly High School as meek little sophomores. Since then we have added maturity and determination to our numerous qualities, rarely letting our rowdiness get out of hand. As sophomores we elected capable members of the class as officers. They were Robert Mitchell, President; Laura DiGangi, Vice President; Alice Gervasini, Treasurer; Debbie Dionne, Secretary; and Lynn Sposato, Social Chairman. Even though we were meek, we wanted our votes heard, and we elected Louis Graeve, LuAnn Gervasini, Lauri Nardone, and Lois Joyce as our members to the Student Council. We also took an active part in sports. Tony Ribeiro, Robert Mitchell, Peter DiMaggio, Bob Tillinghast, Nick Verzillo, Frank Urso, Chris Latherow, Ron Gwaltney, Kevin Colosi, Fred Highland, and Joe Grills proved valuable members of the football team under the coaching of James Gulluscio. Peter Martin, Joe Francese, Paul Williamson, Mike Warner, Mark St. Onge, Fred Bogue, Buddy Garraty, Jerry Wolstencroft, Chip O'Lari, Jens Ljungberg, Ed Magowan, Ron Zanella and Dave Arnott displayed the potential of future soccer champions. The dribbling sophomore members of the basketball team included Ken Butler, Jerry Wolstencroft, Paul Martin, Peter Martin, James Pucci, and Mark St. Onge. They produced a fine record under the coaching of Donald Autry and the managing of Arthur Lavoie and Richard Guidice. Only two sophomores made the ski team. They were Paul Williamson and Mike Warner. Our fine baseball team included sophomores Dave Blanchet, Jerry Wolstencroft, Glen Gaccione, Dave Grispino, Chip O'Lari, Steve Gencarella, John Manette, Mike Risica, Bob Tillinghast, Tom Barbone, and Dave Gallo.

First prize was awarded to Susan Vardilos, second prize was awarded to Mary Cofoni, and third prize was awarded to Eileen Foote. The chemistry team included sophomores Fred Highland and John Ouderkirk. Fred Highland placed second in the State Championships. After the summer vacation, we returned with the newly-acquired status of juniors. We immediately elected our class officers.
