The code reads. “Athletes arc to be clean shaven and well grooircd. Hair shall not be worn over the car or back of the neck, and sideburns shall be no lower than the middle of the car. Athletes arc not to smoke, drink alcoholic beverages, or use narcotics at any lime. Tins is the first time a written rule pertaining to athletic behavior off the field has been established at Westfield. The rule, however, is pending administrative approval. The code is simply suggested behavior lor athletes because a hair length Code could iio| he upheld m Ouni Mr I as staled that the code, it adopted, would go win all spoils hi all seasons, iiuludiii;' finnol high s| toils speak out, you’ve got to speak out against the madness; you’ve got to speak your mind if you dare. david crosby 7 “i feel we are doing the right thing ... we can’t sit back and let communism take over. “my brother died six months ago in Vietnam and i feel as he did about the protests in this country: men can’t fight wars without support from home.” “i’m perfectly happy just to sit back and watch what happens because i have no personal involvement in the war; therefore, it doesn't bother me. ” “the war in Vietnam is morally wrong, amcr-ica has made some blunders over the years, but our involvement in the Vietnamese civil war has to be one of the greatest miscalculations of all time.” “why not use our men and money for improving poverty, diseases, drug addiction, and other pressing problems? many fine men are being slaughtered who could have become some of america’s greatest leaders, this is a crime to both the men and the country.” 10 “o purple finch please tell me why this summer world (and you and i who love so much to live) must die” e e cummings WE PROVED II W00DST0 “maybe the older generation did wrong things, but at least they did not stand out in the rain and sleep on an open farm along with 400,000 other people, sometimes i wonder what is wrong with our generation.” “i was there and it was the greatest experience of my life, this festival was just a fantastic experience, i am truly proud of my generation.” Bill l.ppridgc — I.Ill magazine© Iime Inr. “the rock festival was one of the worst, dirtiest, and ugliest things i have ever heard of. all those hippies smoking pot and other drugs, drinking, and other unbearable things, it just made me sick to think that anyone of a good nature could even go to one of these things.” “woodstock rock festival was one of the greatest things that has happened to american youth, it was a true expression and demonstration of how people can react to each other under not so favorable conditions.” Bill Eppridge — LIFE magazine ©Time Inc. 13 when the moon is in the seventh house and jupiter aligns w ith mars then peace will guide the planets and love will steer the stars this is the dawning of the age of aquarius the age of aquarius harmony and understanding sympathy and trust abounding no more falsehoods and derisions clothed in living dreams and visions mystic crystal revelation and the mind’s true liberation aquarius, aquarius “black power is a call for black people in this country to unite, to recognize their heritage, to build a sense of community, it is a call for black people to begin to define their own goals, to lead their own organizations, and to support those organizations, it is a call to reject the racist institutions and al-ues of this society.” stokelv carmichael Charles v. hamilton BUCK PEOPLE: 10% IN U.

RipSchulke — LIFE MagazinecTime Inc. 29 films exert twice the impact of other media by offering their audiences an uninterrupted, simultaneously audial and visual experience, cinematography holds limitless potential for the development and expansion of many fields, including education, where educators who have recognized the value of its compound involvement of the senses and the resulting intellectual stimulation of students, have already instituted films as teaching devices and have even included cinema courses, the cinema club, with its newly-installed student film-making program, represents enthusiastic support for and participation in the evolving film movement. 31 an artist’s environment can inspire his work, and after much association and communication with his surroundings, he attempts to convey his ideas, feelings, and understandings to others, creatively free, the artist expresses himself through his own field: painting, sculpture, sketching, or crafts, the art cluh offers expression through all of these fields, and the jewelry club focuses on its more specialized aspect of crafts, yet, designing pins, fashioning metal adornments, and acquiring skills in stone-cutting necessitate the same artistic sensitivity and inclination that all fields require for the production of a truly original and representative creation. in order to gain a knowledge and appreciation of the dramatic arts, members explore all facets of their own production and analyze aspects of professional plays, each student has an opportunity to take an active part by specializing in his particular interest, from individually expressing characterization before an audience to perfecting technical skills in a backstage committee, in contributing to and completing a common effort, club members benefit from experience and better understand the determination, organization, discipline, and skill necessary to good theater. waging with increasing success and proficiency the war between man and machine, the audio-visual squad and the lighting crew devote time and effort to their respective responsibilities, in coordinating the needs of teachers for movie projectors, the av squad must also maintain them in working order, in supplying the appropriate lighting effects, those on the lighting crew work to enhance any onstage performance with subtle changes in light color and intensity. brought together by their desire to master the art and science of successful picture-taking and developing, the members of the photography club learn and practice the basic photographic techniques. in their eagerness to follow their efforts from beginning to end, they set up a darkroom in school to develop their pictures to their own satisfaction. 36 m. members of the latin club preserve and perpetuate the myths and civilization of ancient rome. interested students investigate and enact ancient customs, holding an annual slave auction, a love party, and staging valentine skits featuring mythological and legendary heroes, heroines, and lovers, a “slide-in” presentation of modern rome supplements this active exploration of the classics. breaking pinatas, viewing slides of spain, and conversing with spanish-speaking exchange students, members of el ateneo pursue an extracurricular and unselfish investigation of Spanish culture, by means of a presentation illustrating Spanish social customs, and through an easter donation to a united nations charity, this year’s membership shares the knowledge and reacts to the concern it has gained through its sympathetic study of another people. ; german Christmas traditions are practiced in the form of the annual kookie verkauf and Christmas carolling excursion, these activities, plus field trips to see performances of musical and dramatic works by german composers and dramatists, heighten the student’s interest in and understanding of various aspects of german culture through personal experience. french club members become absorbed in the language not only by communicating solely in french at meetings, but also through the publication of a club newspaper, the chantecler. articles in the chantecler, presenting information concerning quebec, Canada, and students’ summer trips to france, bring the student into closer and more familiar contact with french, thereby enhancing his total language experience. 43 assemblies, notorious for their tendency to evolve advanced stages of ennui, have begun to alter their image through greater representation of student interests and concerns, programs such as the afro fashion show, the theater-in-the-round, and the performance by the hoosiers provide an opportunity for self-expression on the participants’ behalf and an opportunity for deeper understanding and a possible widening of interests for their audiences. on several occasions, including the thanksgiving assembly and the tribute to martin luther king, jr., the audience and those responsible for the presentations have merged in mutual participation of truly worthwhile and meaningful experiences. 44 supporting the idea that international relations can be improved and strengthened through a communication and understanding among the peoples of the world, the class of ’70 has continued the whs tradition of participation in afs and other exchange programs. the word exchange best expresses the purpose behind the different agencies, as a sound and meaningful relationship evolves only when the parties involved can achieve an equilibrium of giv ing and taking. election to the national honor society represents a recognition of an individual's possession of the society’s four basic qualities: scholarship, leadership, character, and service. wishing to encourage fuller development and utilization of its members’ talents and abilities, nhs holds various fund-raising functions, with the proceeds going to a scholarship awarded to the nhs member whom the others feel has contributed most to and has best exemplified the society’s aims. BLESSED ARE THEY WHO HUNGER AND THIRST I always thought it strange when winter came (he being that cruel tyrant who begets only cold and whose blustery children harass the sons of men) that I would see walking down 5th Avenue the respectable penthouse matrons with their precious poodles snuggled in fur coats of wondrous hue while only a few blocks away in icicle tenements the starving children whimper. frequently in a classroom situation a student may be unable to experiment with various forms and styles of writing, the creative writing club offers the student this opportunity. through writing poems, short stories, and essays, a student may discover the type of writing through which he can best express himself, on each piece he writes, the student then obtains the comments and criticisms of the members of the club, this enables him to receive a variety of opinions not only from a teacher, but also from his peers, he may then work toward greater improvement. 49 students and teachers no longer accept straight rows of desks, standing while speaking, or unquestioned authority as a valid environment for learning, new freedom in thinking and teaching brings new freedom in environment, relaxing at desks, talking without first being called upon, and arguing metaphysical questions with the teacher comprise the enlightened mode of education, chalkboards and bulletin boards exist as tools of expression for both student and teacher, and classrooms become more conducive to learning. 51 combining the strength of raw power and the sensitivity of meaningful lyrics, rock has become the figurehead for the current social revolution, whether the hard-driving guitar of eric clapton, the raspy-voiced blues of janis joplin, or the droning sitar of ravi shankar, rock music continued to expand into new areas and to fascinate its audiences. to jam, until mere confused noise becomes music, until the composer satisfies every whim, and every pattern becomes explored through improvization. until time exists as merely a matter of beats and measures, not hours, until life involves solely a series of ups and downs and sharps and flats, then and only then does jazz become the beautiful creative medium of the good musician. day trips over weekends serve to get ski club members in shape for their mid-winter vacation trip, graduating from the lesser challenges “local” slopes pose, whs skiers strike out for Vermont and seek the thrill of slaloming through the alps. ten three-man teams assemble at dark lanes to engage in friendly competition during the bowling club’s two seasons, tournaments may pit the fluzzies against the cavaliers and the trophies awarded, for first place team, sportsmanship, and highest average game and series, reflect the team’s three fold function of developing bowling skill, promoting good sportsmanship, and having fun. 55 indefatigable in their passion for this complex and esoteric game, the chess club members spend long afternoons in 157 devising and counteracting intricate strategies, only infrequently do they punctuate the protracted silences with murmurs of “your move.” whether weary from another friday of thinking, or boredom, or a combination of the two, each member of the table tennis club finds himself rejuvenated at the sight of those comical paddles and balls and netted tables, following the bouncing ball becomes increasingly difficult, especially when one is playing the ping pong champion, mr. r. whether merely relaxing or seriously competing, the ping pongers find in their sport a welcome sojourn from their academic lives. mm ' PM a- if _ O' 0r vjs o V ' -A -0 y ,j v ,v VA ■ „ Vi - '° r ,1 ( , . r. 1 •.£ ■' , 1 V' V Or s oU| Clare £-V cViT t fS aa.-0- W§� f 5v (0 m itj 1 ?

V V M M, diverse individuals of the senior class pooled their unique talents and strove together toward the goal of producing the corn is green. the play provided for contributions of time and effort by any interested senior, enthusiastic extroverts exhibited their abilities to create characters in front of an audience, while technical aspects were handled by dedicated backstage workers, the success of the play rested upon the cooperation, responsibility, and skill of all concerned, w hose efforts gained them a sense of accomplishment and personal satisfaction. usually functioning in accompanying and background capacities, the stage band and the orchestra normally reside in the pit. their members’ various musical talents and interests, culled and channelled to harmony, serve to set the mood and pace for school programs and dramatic presentations, but twice a year, in the mid-winter and pops concerts, the stage band and orchestra rehearse and produce programs in which, rather than merely complementing another performing group, they can exploit their abilities for their own satisfaction. understanding the concepts of music overrides the importance of a choral performance, as all groups must memorize vocal patterns to blend and to produce a pleasing sound, the performances remain of secondary importance to the mastery of the myriad of musical symbols, the instructor desires the students to learn the foundations of music, developing the students’ familiarity with notes, key signatures, and rhythm, which compose the basis of music, becomes a major goal for the instructor. 71 “i guess it’s just that i’m for a freer society, and dress is one small aspect of a person’s freedom.” “i think we should be able to wear what we want, but it’s not worth making such a big deal about it.” “it is a sad fact that many people judge others by what they wear, or other superficial indicators.” “for myself, i would no more wear pants to school than i would wear jeans to church Sunday mornings.” student concern remains the singlemost important criterion for a productive student council; without it all leadership becomes futile, this year’s council worked to alter past standards in many areas, succeeding in reforming the restrictions on student smoking. yet occasional success does not insure continued progress, and Fiascos such as the seminar program and the dress code controversy still occurred, nevertheless, students made themselves heard and displayed a genuine desire for involvement. 75 whs’s budding members of the fourth estate pool their capacities to produce their weekly, six-page publication, each edition reflects the journalist’s inherent need to familiarize his readers with and to involve them in the urgent and pressing issues of the day. defying censorship and administrative reproofs, the staff of the hi’s eye fearlessly and boldly exposes its subscribers to the most recent developments in the dress, smoking, curriculum, and sex education controversies — all in a day’s work in effecting a sincere journalistic effort. heated disputes revolving around the family living program in our school system have raised a controversial issue in the community: exactly where does the responsibility for the education of a child regarding family living lie? while some favor the development of an awareness and a healthy attitude towards sex through careful instruction and a relaxed atmosphere under a school-supervised family living program, still others regard the teaching of man's capacity for love and the nature of the family unit as solely the responsibility of the parent, still others feel that the school should act as a supplement to parental instruction, despite a lack of communication between groups and a vastly over-publicized issue, from this conflict hopefully will arise a more intelligent outlook towards human love. BttMC $ Uthxix VIIKI !«. }! whs's cooperative industrial education program provides on-the-job training to students assuming business and industrial positions following graduation. rather than a classroom procedure, the c.i.e. program operates on a system of individual attention for the student and actual experience in an office or industrial environment, a paycheck for his part-time services acknowledges the value of his work and rewards and encourages the c.i.e. student’s efforts. 83 accused of such inaccuracies as eclecticism, inepitude, pseudo-intellectualism, radicalism and conservatism, the members of that bewildered band of hall-wanderers known to the uninitiated only as “yearbook”. are actually little more than ersatz students wading through a generally inert year. 84 though the bursts of activity are infrequent, they are sufficiently frenetic to transform naive and timid novices into an assortment of weatherbeaten veterans, including d hitherto unequaled number of female dragsters, well-practiced but decidedly amateurish comedians, perennial list-makers, and befuddled organizers, rallying to the cry of “o.k., baby!” 85 • , Um ur .rMoy J. sro ititt.nl «f %istri«2d -VoKr l l� - , , • � f « nt to ro«ejVv tho fvrf boot draft count. l!r� 5 nr t ln-v « o y prdc� r)jr under « :rf our option urttar tho Selective • Act at lb Mea r-r.!� t'r. ••or tM� rco� «n. � ■:• � � V -n ' , . th� l)t h School t • � Jo � � «lX ble for ci' period a V .. qualified counselor of th� SAHt: draft InfomtMon proor'n t r to bo there for that ported o l,«t Uioar student '■ • ; . . rtV� a.

OUR FLAG CLOVE IT OR LEAVE with the advent of a controversial and much disputed war, a great interest has developed concerning the method and acceptability of bringing youth into the military service of their country, changes such as the recently instituted lottery system have occurred because of outside pressure; yet the final choice still remains aloof from the draftee, because no real consideration as to their personal feelings or objectives exists, many search for various alternatives to service, with the aid of draft counseling, some flee the country, while others pass years in cells of desolate security. but still the great majority go off to serve, accepting the unquestionable power of the military machine. HELL NO W E WO N'T G( ____� zpee d kill: merely a ghetto problem? no longer true, recognizing that the drug scene has spread like a cancer, the westfield steering committee for drug abuse has begun an earnest attempt to inform our community of the growing danger of involvement with illegal drugs, in addition, under the leadership of lois me earthy, school social worker, a “speak out” program has been initiated for all residents of westfield. the recent percentage of students who have experimented with some type of drug, basically marijuana, as printed in the hi's eye, points to the need to maintain constant communication with the students in an effort to develop a more open atmosphere and to foster a complete awareness of the dangers of drug abuse. give me your hungry, your tired, your bored, routine-weary study hall inhabitants, fleeing the clutches of ennui, seek asylum in ingenious and sanity-preserving diversions of their own contrivance, nourishing the body, exercising brain cells, engaging in sympathetic communication with a fellow refugee, and withdrawing into a somnolent state comprise the most popular and widely-practiced methods of escape. 90 motivated by both its pioneering and innovative spirit and by its dissatisfaction with the school’s unsuitable facilities, the class of '70 mobili .ed, filing its claim to fame by holding the junior prom outside of the school, all (hose attending approved of the dinner and dancing in an around-the-world-in-eightv-days atmosphere at wieland’s steak house that replaced the traditional punch-and-hors-d'oeuvres gymnasium setting. billed as the sophomore variety show, the class of '72’s production for this traditional function featured musical and dancing talents, self-accompanied folk singers, whose selections included well known favorites plus an original and a hebraic song, dominated the vocal acts, but a soul rendition to a recorded background was also performed, further evidence of the popularity of soul came through in a display of dancing talents, represented by the rhythmic antics of the “soulful six.” the show ended on the folk-note on which it had begun, with afs’er lars kallanius making a guest appearance. the trial solution to the smoking controversy somewhat resolves the age-old student dilemma of enduring the day without a cigarette or of taking his or her chances by catching a smoke in the lavatory, credit goes to the smoking committee, composed of students, teachers, and an administrator, all of whom cooperated in negotiating a settlement acceptable to the diverse points of view of the controversy, their proposal, permitting students with parental permission to smoke in a designated area outside the school building, reflects the adoption of a more realistic attitude in dealing with an irrevocable and essentially unalterable conflict. 100 WESTFIELD SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL WESTFIELD.

a. aware of the chaotic situation of the world today, the social studies department has formulated a single all encompassing objective: to provide the student with the background and techniques necessary for confrontation and interaction with the world of ferment and disorder which surrounds him. examining past conflicts in relation with their motivation provides some basis for interpretation of fluxes in current relations of man to man. the demand for concrete evidence in self-expression leads to speedy recognition of well-supported hypotheses: well-man- aged dialogue allows for a taste of the interaction of conflicting viewpoints, thus, these techniques lead the student in a personal growth toward independent thought and intelligent action. roland r. romano michelle a. mathesius most courses concern themselves with covering a certain minimum of material and providing the student with fundamental ideas and understandings from which he may explore those which interest him most, developmental reading fosters a better understanding of these basic concepts, and thereby helps the student in choosing various fields of interest. the library emerges as the vehicle for further exploration once a question or idea arises, through the wider selection of readings and information it offers, the library allows the student to pursue a subject independently and to his own satisfaction. david j. brown 184 carolyn g. mintel dawn s. ganss 185 prospects for peace among nations hinge on the knowledge the men of these nations have of each other, with the ever-growing closeness of nations through improved methods of transportation, more than a superficial familiarity with political operations becomes necessary. foreign language courses represent an effort to develop a knowledge that goes beyond the political and economic to the deeper understanding of the motivations and philosophies of other cultures so vital in international relations. linda g. dark sleven i. ciccarelli john scafaria tikr’: gloria vicedomini robert I nccio samuel h. bunting 187 ottilie s. disbrow dr. eleanor c. young phyllis winquist 188 carol r. leit anthony j. frinzi thomas la costa andrew c. le compte kathleen b.
