The plays were characterized by some honest and impressive individual performances. However, at times, abrupt changes of pace and plot seemed to prevent the audience from becoming genuinely involved. The series of three began with Chekov's A Marriage Proposal. Steve Gleason played Tschubukov, a pompous Russian landowner, whose unctuous amenities do nothing to soothe an apprehensive visitor, Lo- mov, CDoug Gleasonj, who has come to ask for the hand of Tschubukov's daughter, played by Daphne Case. When Lomov reveals his intentions, Tschubukov is overjoyed. He leaves Lomov and the matronly daughter, Natalia alone, but the proposal is precluded by a dispute over such petty details as who is the rightful owner of the meadows and who has the better hunting dog. These argu- ments are such a strain on the hypo- condriac Lomov, that he declares palpitations have gotten the best of him and faints. Tschubukov returns, and while trying to revive Lomov, he tells Natalia of his intentions. Nata- lia, unaware of his feelings, is so shocked she faints also. Tschubukov takes it upon himself to use this opportunity to declare the two mar- ried, since they haven't had a chance to argue otherwise. Although the audience did not reach to the broad humor of the situation, the perfor- mance was excellent. 1 The second of the series, t'Hello Out There, by William Saroyan, pre- sented Bruce Macintosh in the lead role, depicting a jailed man who eyes his first love, Emily, Cplayed by Rommy Lopatj, across prison bars. The mood again changed when the audience returned from intermission as the curtain opened to a simple yet brightly colored set, with varied char- acters milling about, obviously as- sembled to await the falling of a doomed man from the top of a cliff. While sitting below in the cafe, they carry on senseless conversations about the effects of the impending tragedy, while, to a photographer's dismay, a little old lady sits on his camera. . As it turns out, the anticipation of a shattering death is in vain. The man is bound to a rock at his perch, and is being paid ten dollars for his services by the owner of the cafe. In spite of the owner's attempt to con- vince the people he is trying to enter- tain their boredom, they accept only that he is exploiting their sentiments to benefit himself financially, and storm off the stage in anger. This seemed the best received of the three plays, perhaps because of a larger, livelier cast. - Betsy Stein I eggs! lf 0 Il H .J as A L E A' aw- N- ' V 1 fi f , ' V5- 5O I in 1 ff? ,,, Q, iv, , .L LW, iilwy f' ,L Y My , K- N? in X A F' , n V?

These were prompted by music department philosophy, which attempts, according to lVlr. Robert Estes, to give as much to as many as possible. Thus a greater number of concerts occur, and exposure of the performing groups is increased. There has been some controversy among participants as to whether or not this approach is damaging the quality of performance, especially since the material is challenging, and runs the gamut from classical to con- temporary, but it is both lVlr. Estes' and Nlr. Regan's feeling that this approach remains in its early stages and that hopefully, as the depart- ment itself matures, it will maintain the spirit of innovation. 5 We E AQ 3 , A M Girls' Varsity Club All those sweetn' sour lollipops and slim jims that were causing girls to cut down on lunch, weren't distributed by a group of protesting weight watchers. The Iiveliest and fittest -w.ft 3L group of girls in the school were be- hind that profit making venture. Be- sides selling all kinds of delectable, and fattening foods in the locker room, the girls sponsored a play day for the 7th and 8th grade girls, and had a Saturday afternoon cartoon fes- tival for the elementary school. With the proceeds from sales, the club was able to take a weekend ski trip to Bromley Mountain in Vermont. The Varsity Club was organized by a group willing to help build a physi- cally creative atmosphere, mainly for younger girls, and also willing to real- ize the potential in themselves as teachers. They often gave up free time to assist the gym teachers, and were in many cases allowed to teach a full gym class. The girls organized in early October and elected five officers: Debbie Grubb, President: Betsy Kindwall, Vice-President, Amy Kindwall, Secretary, Jill Perzley, Trea- surer: and Barbara Kraus, Publicity Manager. 30 Athletic Council Have you got a cigarette? Forget it. l'm training for base- ball. Such was the athlete's response at one time in Weston. No drinking, or smoking, was tolerated by partici- pants in school sports. Accompanying Weston's growing awareness of itself, came an awareness that these gov- erning rules, in some cases, were not being adhered to. Their infringement brought a need for the formation of an Athletic Council with a two-fold function: C13 to establish a code of laws concerning the use and abuse of alcohol, cigarettes and narcotics, and C23 to interpret the previously established rules. Meetings were held by elected representatives of each team to interpret athletic regula- tions. This organization will hopefully help Weston High School develop a successful future in sports. Elected representatives during 1970-71 were: Football: Steve Tomasiewicz Marc Ward Basketball Ned Smith Dave Reyes-Guerra Baseball: Jim Stout Gary Sousa Track: Jeff Christensen Lew Matson Tim Robinson Wrestling: Bill Gonzalez Skiing: Wayne Huff Soccer: Frank Ritson Tom Fox Swimming: Keith Hippen Golf: Greg Talbot A sense of self confidence which prevailed during pre-season was justified when the team swept through its schedule losing only one game, after coming from behind to win or tie six times. Finishing in second place behind Wilton's perennial powerhouse, the team was rated fourth in the state class S pre-tournament ratings. The Trojans encountered a Varsity Soccer Few happenings at Weston High School have been so remarkable as the success of the Varsity Soccer Team. Rising from the embarrassing depths of a miserable 3 win 8 loss and 1 tie record only one year ago, the 1970 team established itself as a coming power with a surprising 11-2-3 record. The advantage of playing together four years was dramatically under- lined, as a cohesive, experienced defense turned in consistently excel- lent performances, while goalie Greg Quick contributed miraculous saves nearly every game. In addition, out- standing halfbacks were mainly re- sponsible for the team's improve- ment, and helped Weston demolish the popular belief that they were conference patsies. 31 different type of soccer, however, in the Class S state playoffs. Although finesse was the key during the regular season, it lost some value for Weston when the bigger, physically stronger upstate teams used con- tact soccer to their advantage. Co-captains Tom Fox and Dave Mesa led a spirited Weston offense, and time and time again the defense stopped an opponent's drive deep in Weston's territory. Unfortunately, in the finals, Weston was stopped by East Granby in double overtime, earning, however, a second place in the Class S tournament. Nluch of this season's satisfaction was not in the obvious success of the team, but in its awareness of increasing stu- dent interest. The team and Coach Gil Demarest are thankful to the hundreds of students who were pres- ent at the tournament, and especially to those who cheered them on at home games. if 2 V 'XM , Q , x Weston completed its second var- sity season this year compiling a successful 7-1 record. The team finished second in the Western Con- necticut Conference and received a merit award for outstanding Class S schools from the Connecticut Inter-Scholastic Athletic Conference. The players practiced informally during the summer and began drill under coaches Tom Sacramone and John Marshall two weeks before school opened. After scrimmaging with two schools, the Trojans opened at Deep River winning 39-16 in a Football strong second half. The next week Weston entertained Mount Everett and won a 43-O victory. The Trojans then suffered their only setback at the hands of a strong Newtown team, making many mistakes and losing in a close game, 14-8. The fol- lowing week, Weston bounced back and trounced Bethel 54-6 for their first league win. The Trojans' next victory was over Old Saybrook in a hard fought game, 26-8. The team then traveled to Housatonic and after battling the opposing team emerged with a 28-O victory. In their last two games, the Trojans finished strong, defeating New Milford 39-8 and Joel Barlow 16-6. Five of Weston's players were elected to the All-Conference team: David Reyes-Guerra and Tim How- son, offense, and Steve TomaSiewicz, Jim Van Fleet, and Tim Robinson, defense. Altogether, twenty-one se- niors will graduate from the squad, but the Trojans look forward to a successful season next fall since some experienced players will be re- turning.

From the beginning of Nlarch until the state meet in June, each girl follows an individual work schedule tailored to the events in which she partici- pates. As in boys' track, a girl may become eligible for the state meet if she places first, second, or third in the regional meets. Outstanding members of Weston's 1970 team included Betsy Kindwall, who placed fifth in the 440 while competing in the state meet. Connie Roderick, throwing the discus, placed first in the regionals and fourth in the state. Kim Rosenau, an excellent miler, placed fourth in the regionals, while the 440 yard relay team, in- cluding Roseanne Shegirian, Sharon Roche, Ellen Swan, and Debbie Vaughan, placed fifth in the region- als. The 880 yard relay team, CEllen Swan, Sharon Roche, Debbie Vaughan, and Betsy Kindwallj, ran a close second in the state meet only to be disqualified through confusion about a non-competing runner. A first year team, the girls had much to learn from competition. lngalif. Unfortunately, many injuries were sustained by the runners, especially the sprintersg hopefully next year the girls will master injuries and again turn out a winning season. Girls Softball Last spring Weston's first Girls' Varsity Softball Team was organized. Since many of the girls had never played official softball before, proce- dures and rules were explained care- fully by coach Diane Blackwell. Be- cause no softball field was available, the team used the middle and ele- mentary schools diamonds, which were often in poor condition and inadequate for play. Despite these inconveniences, the girls practiced with enthusiam for each game. Although the team's win-loss record wasn't favorable, the players gained valuable experiences for a full varsity season next spring. ,nov-sms.

'mm: Cross Country The Cross Country squad, newly in- troduced to competition this year, in- cluded six runners: Mike Biseglie, Joe Spetly, Rob Sanderson, Dick Hyman, Dave Moore, and Chris Brady. Coached by Mr. McNiel, an English teacher from the Middle School, the team parti- cipated in eight meets, finishing with an unfortunate record of no wins and eight losses. Yet in the face of a discouraging sea- son one must consider several factors: the team was new and Cross Country running was an unfamiliar experience for its members. Size too, was a handi- cap, since the Trojans were outnum- bered at every meet. However, most of the team improved their times by sev- eral minutes during the season. Though the Trojans' record was un- impressive, they have gained a season's experience. With support from the school, the team will certainly chalk up victories in seasons to come. x ,,,, A 1' 'Cv 9 Vim fy E lux?

Hence the staff was guided by its own intuitions about the school and student life. The result, hopefully, is a book that expresses in form and content the present spirit of Weston High School. The philosophy behind Heliotrope is that school is organic: that the var- ious separate classes and activities form, in reality, a total environment. Thus the central format avoids many distinctions, such as a separate fac- ulty section. The theory of the organic school was a challenge to the yearbook staff. ln the beginning, periods of frustration occurred as the editors sought a means to express Weston's essential nature. While Business Manager Cathy Shea and her staff, Debbie Burt, Ilene Kaplan, Lew Nlat- son, and Karen Jakos were selling Z ,- ,Nm-,,.t...,,,,,t '! l ' .aff BL advertising at a remarkable pace, the literary staff slowly gathered ideas through group meetings, and con- ceived the introduction. Students volunteered journals and poetry and faculty members assisted with the photography. Then Layout Editor Jane Crow took over, and with the assistance of John Glover, Charlotte lVledley, Betsy Stein, and Roseanne Shegirian, pieced together the intro- duction. The Senior and Activity sections evolved in much the same way. Arti- cles were submitted by Sherry Pearl- man, Lew lVlatson, Brett Dixon, Scott Boehm, Jeremy Meyer, Joe Spetley, l 5 , . A ,X iw l ff +....m Lydia Fekula, and Preston Walklet. Great amounts of time were invested, particularly by Editor Carol Beasley, who worked with every group and guided the staff through the difficult and sometimes painful task of year- book production with gentle perse- verance. Those who worked on the book, although pressured by technical re- quirements and inevitable deadlines, felt involved in a valuable experience: uniting in a prodigious effort di- rected toward a common goal - the production of Weston High School's first yearbook and the establishment of a school tradition. ,, Tl- l l l The Oracle l Just as a teacher must avoid being bogged down by his bureaucratic du- ties, so a school newspaper must transcend the dryness and insignificance of straight school news to be of more than momen- tary interest. The Oracle believes that interpretation and insight are essen- tial in relating the events of the vital, erratic institution which gave it birth. Hence, news and opinion often come together in a single article, and some creative pieces appear that are rele- vant only as reflections of students' emotions and attitudes. The real news at Weston High is that no one completely comprehends the school because it is comprised of human beings. The newspaper must express lthis, so the Oracle is uneven, imper- fect, exciting and human just like the school. The Oracle in 1969 began as a mimeographed paper, then, begin- ning last year, it grew in scope as well as size. As the paper shifted emphasis and evolved from issue to issue, the editors grappled with the problems of censorship, bias and propriety. In view of the fact that funds were supplied by the school through the Board of Education the lstaff tried not to ruffle the fine edge of the community's political-moral sense. This year's first issue disgusted many community members and stu- dents with the use of offensive words and was accused of being one- sided, sarcastic and obscene. At least one indignant Cand prominentj Wes- tonite cancelled his subscription, and a group of students wrote an in- famous letter to the Weston Forum apologizing to the town for this tasteless edition of the Oracle without prior expression of its feelings to the editors. Rumors were circulat- ing that the P.T.A. and the Board of Education were considering with- drawing financial support. The staff, which hadn't thought it was publish- ing a controversial issue, was sur- prised by the intensity of community reaction. Since then the paper has avoided all but the mildest of naughty words and tried to adopt a more positive attitude toward the school. As the controversy passed, a new problem arose - that of getting students to write for the paper. The editorial staff is skeletal, and the paper relies on students' contributions since no reporters exist. This setup, when it is effective, makes for diverse and creative CODY! but the editors find that they write the bulk of the paper to join Nlarlee Heathcote as a News Editor. Nleredee Green took over the advertising department from Lynn Schettino, Marcia Rafter and Jeff Johnson stayed on as Literary Editor and Sports Editor. At the time this article is being written, the Oracle is supplementing its literary efforts by attempting to establish a student-faculty lounge in the old newspaper office, room 60. A themselves when students aren't feeling creative. The Editorial Staff was restruc- tured in midyear for two reasons: to introduce new blood and to train juniors for editorial positions next year. Nora Pomerantz replaced Tom Fox and Liz lVluther as Editor, Sandy lVlaeck and Steve Gleason famed Clem Reid on the features staff, and Brett Fromson shifted from features 49 1 -'S short, concise proposal has been submitted, expressing the need for a lounge and the OracIe's belief that an informal atmosphere is essential. Time will tell. As long as Weston High School students care about the school and their peers, the Oracle will be pub- lished without rose-colored ink. As long as the school thrives and grows, the Oracle will strive to improve in form and quality. - Steve Gleason E-ll' Em Literary Magazine Last year a small group of stu- dents, aware of the many talented writers in the school, sought to bring into existence some sort of literary publication. Unfortunately they en- countered some difficulties in gaining support and structure. Their efforts were never truly solidified and no publication was released. This year the group reconciled their interest and, with the help of lVlrs. Susan Hand, called the first meeting of what they hoped would be Weston High School's literary maga- zine. The response to the call was overwhelming. With Tom Gannon and Sherry Pearlman conducting the meeting, and Tim Robinson acting as secretary, ideas on format and proce- dure were exchanged and commit- tees formed. Tom and Sherry were named co-editors while Lili Loveday, Ann Beverly, Tonda Holwerda and Bill Dixon undertook editorial roles. Don Bartels was chosen to manage advertising and public relations, along with Flip Turner. Now that a sound base had been constructed, funds had to be col- lected. The staff, after receiving S5200 from the Student Council, printed a single edition which was published in lVlay. At first it seemed that potential contributors of poems, essays, short stories and illustrations, were some- what reluctant to hand in materials. But after the magazine gained recog- 3' ,X nition, and Don Bartel's posters dared the writing public to sumbit their creations, the box in the library, which had been designated as the official place to hand in works, was seldom empty. 9 A.F.S. Club After the new high school was built, Weston students undertook the job of establishing a school with di- verse activities as well as a sound curriculum. One of the first efforts in developing active organizations was the founding of the American Field Service. ln the autumn of 1968, Debbie Offenhartz, Sherry Pearlman, and Mr. Robert Didsbury, head of the language department, began ex- changing letters with A.F.S. head- quarters in New York. While all of the necessary information was being cor- related, the three founders con- ducted meetings after school to elect officers and to channel the energies of those interested in participating. Debbie and Sherry became co- presidents and Tim Snell, Lew Matson, Deby Dunkel, and Jan Heas- ley have served as officers since then. The club worked closely with Mrs. William Rhines and Mrs. Nils Kind- wall of the Town Committee and on May 1, 1969, A.F.S. in New York certified Weston as a charter mem- ber. Shortly thereafter, enough funds were raised to receive an exchange student, Cheah Lye Chun of Malay- sia. Next year the club will sponsor at least one Weston student in a foreign country. Photography Club Many students have become famil- iar with Weston's ubiquitous student photographers, who, snapping end- less photos of school assemblies, dances, sports events and musical and theatrical programs, provide wide coverage for school publications. Col- lectively they are known as the Wes- ton High School Photography Club. Members include: Mark Canapa, Mar- lee Heathcote, Laurie Howes, Keith Macintosh, Dave Mesa, Richard Pike, Fred Testor, Patricia Vener and Jim Wexlerg officers are Wayne Wasilko, Richard Shaw, Scott Boehm, Scott Edwards, and Charles Lancaster. Advisors Peter Concilio, and Howard Harris, along with Floyd Higgins and William Secord have helped the club progress from a small and informal group of students with a common interest to a functioning school or- ganization in which students can cul- tivate their interest in photography. 6 SBEEEGN Q . ,,Q:.,,: E 1 - ' . i ng- v w , ur E xl , xg, 0 is Rx , Y XR YH fwfr mf x lx 2 3 nj I i ,Q ,f S ,T 55-g L f G f ,ff Q 5: ,fgg 3 , 7,m1 N V, aj! !! , fx:'3x fig-ff if .f f ' V m, iw L .f 1 .......1 miss christine rasper - speech therapy barb Campbell mr. stanley lorenzen - principal debbie burt brad hill 'E i ff 5 f m F i if QQ 'Q 'WA .
