WESTON HIGH SCHOOL WESTON, MASSACHUSETTS Class Photographers — Purdy Studios MOSAIC 1959 3ii-Sr 7(fi yj ' . . forming an entity of many parts.” FOREWORD In our four years at Weston High School the patterns of our Ih es have been deeply influenced not only by the stimulation of knowledge and its related applications, but by our relations with our teachers and our contemporaries. Many small day-to-day experiences have coalesced into the broad mosaic of our personalities. For this reason we ha ' e selected “Mosaic” as the theme of the yearbook of the Class of 1959. Both as individuals and as a class we are allegorically similar to riiosaics; to different viewers we present different impressions; we are not one integral thing, but rather a great composition of elements forming, as chips of colored glass form pictures, an entity of many parts. As a class, different shades of individuals have created the originality of our pattern, much as this is visible in our title page mosaic which was reproduced from the one in the First Parish Church in Weston. The scientists, the toolsmiths, the politicians, and the undecided personalities all have formed together an imposing scene. Much like little flecks of gold, the many outstanding members of our class, whose stories may be read throughout this book, create emphasis and draw the attention of the casual ’iewer to our story. There is, howex er, one flaw in our analogy. A mosaic is a finished, stable thing, while we are constantly changing and adding new shades and colors to our own personal mosaics. Furthermore, some day the contributions of our class to the world will be like stone chips in a yet greater mosaic. Indeed, even now this process has begun. Thus we present the yearbook of the Class of 1959 — “Mosaic 1959.” TABLE OF CONTENTS Page Dedication . 3 One whose mosaic provides a successful example Faculty and Administration . 5 Maiders a?id cernenters of a myriad of pieces Underclasses. 17 Still in the process of laying the basic mosaic Seniors . 25 Setting forth with patterns beginning to blossom Activities . 45 Accentuating the largest mosaic of all — that of the school year Sports . 63 Chips of bright color highlighting the mosaic Ads.

The Superintendent of Schools, Dr. Brackett, Middlebury College, stands in front of the entrance to the high school. The Administration Heads Weston’s Able Faculty. An organization is only as good as its leadership, and the quality of Veston High School is reflected by its administration. Superintendent of Schools, Dr. Anthony Brackett, is a busy man around WUs- ton; besides working closely with the School Com¬ mittee and PTA, he believes in close juxtaposition of students and administration, and consequently spends much time in the school. I’he new High School Principal, Mr. Villard Smith, has aroused great interest with his novel pol¬ icies of administration. He has constantly attempted to work as closely with the Student Council as pos¬ sible. His Vice-Principal, Mr. Aimo Teittinen, has served in Weston for many years and has the unpleas¬ ant job of being in charge of discipline. The Di¬ rector of Athletics, Mr. John Proctor, is very popular with all the students; this year’s attendance at games testifies to this. The clerical help of Mrs. Helene Minsky, Mrs. Marie Bassett, and Mrs. Elaine Sinclair is significant for both the work accomplished and the friendly assistance rendered to all students. Mr. Proctor, Director of . ' thletics, Springfield College, stands in front of the ticket booth, headquarters of many sales activities. 6 Physical Education is a class enjoyed by everyone for the opportunity it renders for relaxation from the mental effort of studying. Miss Marie Butera, the girls’ gym in¬ structor, has a busy schedule teaching the gym classes and then coaching the after-school sports. She is well-liked for her ready smile and the understanding which she has for her students. With field hockey, basketball, softball, and tennis being played in the appropriate seasons, each girl has the opportunity to play the games which she enjoys and in which she is most skilled. Mr. George Harris, an aggressive and good-natured man respected by his students, guides the boys through gym classes. They match their curriculum with varsity sports, with traditional football and cross-country in the fall, bas¬ ketball through the winter, and baseball in the spring. Intramural competition is provided for those who enjoy sports activities but do not hav ' e time for regular after¬ school sports. Miss Butera, Sargent College, and Mr. Harris, Spring- field College, are shown with the tools of their trades. Science and Gym Develop Our Minds and Bodies. Mr. Sawyer, University of New Hampshire, works with “the monster” which regulates the current throughout the laboratory. Since man stands on the threshold of space, the science department of a school must jirejtare qualified scientists. W eston High School has been out¬ standing in this field with teachers such as Mr. allace Sawyer, Head of the Science Dejjartment, who is a great contiibuting factor. Mr. Sawyer is a man devoted to scientific education and conducts stimulating chemistry classes. His mannerisms are almost legi-ndary throughout the scliool; he is a man not easily impiessed by superficial things. Instructor in both physi¬ cal science and physics is Mr. Irving Marsden. He teaches the experimental class in “honor physics,” developed at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. His ability to explain lucidly is utilized in this course, as is his patience with struggling young scientists. One of Massachusetts’ strong¬ est biology programs is under the direction of Mr. Irving Keene. In his first year at Weston, Mr. Keene has filled the biology lab with fiv’e foot snakes, numerous guinea pigs, and a veritable jungle of plant life, as well as instituting field trips and mass dissections. Truly, he has been a great ad¬ dition to the faculty. Mr. Marsden, University of Maine, demonstrates the prin¬ ciple of radiant energy. Mr. Keene, Middlebury College, is shown with some of the wild¬ life he has introduced into the school. 7 If you are in need of guidance of a personal or vocational nature, see either Mr. Charles Cummings, left, a Harvard graduate, or Mr. Robert Carini, right, a graduate of Clark University. Both are very patient and helpful to students seeking their aid. From Books and Guidance We Cull Words of Wisdom. .An alumna of Coucher College, our librarian, Mrs. Signe Hynson, browses through one of the 3500 books in the school library. In a school that sends over eighty percent of its students to some form of higher education, the Guidance Department plays a big and vital part in the curriculum. Senior member, Mr. Charles Cummings, lends a distinguished air to the high school. His Harvard dialect, coupled with his tall and slim build, make him a striking personality, as does his sure and friendly way of counseling. Mr. Robert Carini, who in past years has taught every subject from geometry to basketball, for the second year serves as a full-time vocational coun¬ selor. His understanding and friendly way make him a favorite of all the students, and as an ad¬ viser he is capable of making them feel truly at ease. The two counselors spend many hours be¬ fore, during, and after school helping students arrange and rearrange their programs. Whth their help the seniors apply to the colleges of their choice. All the subjects in Weston High School seem to revolve around the library facili¬ ties. I ' he writing of themes and source papers results in steady use of the plentiful reference works and volumes kept in their proper sheaves and files. The librarian, Mrs. Signe Hynson, not only handles the job of guiding students from volume to x’olume, but kee])S quiet and order in crowded library study halls. Long will we remember the requests o er the public address system for the return of overdue books before each vacation, and the tolerant way in which she has always lent us the pencils and compasses we have forgotten. A po])idar feature of the library is the rack of up- to-date popular magazines, a good bibliography of more advanced publications, and the local daily newspaj)ers. Vhile we work on our papers and homework, we can look out the window towards the athletic fields, and below us, the sounds of the shop filter uj) to us. Mrs. Hynson is always around to help anyone who needs assistance in finding a book or refer¬ ence volume in the library. 8 The industrial arts program in Weston High School has shown its excellence by the large number of national awards that Veston re¬ ceives each year. It is divided into two main sections: “shop” and mechanical drawing. In¬ struction in the shop is handled by Mr. Donald Hale, a quiet and competent teacher with a pleasantly tempered sense of humor. Perhaps, one of the more well-known parts of the shop curriculum is the senior auto mechanics course. Mr. Aimo Teittinen, the school’s Vice-Principal, teaches mechanical drawing. Students leave him with a keen understanding of the T-square and triangle. Mr. Aimo Teittinen and Mr. Donald Hale inspect a welding job by one of their Auto Mechanics students. Students Learn the Practical Arts for Future Use. One of Weston’s newest and most unique teachers, Mrs. John Melone, handles instruction in the home arts. Mrs. Melone teaches sewing, foods and cooking, and education for family life, a course popular among seniors, and is known for her new method of handling the perpetual cafeteria study hall problem. Mrs. John Melone is now heading the Home Economics Department of Weston High School. 9 A relatively new class at Veston, long sought after by the Student Council, Driver Education has in its two years eased the automobile insurance burdens of many Weston parents. The classes, administered by Mr. Leo Cronan, are of two varieties. The class as a whole at¬ tends lectures and films on proper road attitudes, safety, and the theory of proper driving; then, in groups of two or three, they go on the road to learn the actual art of motoring. These classes do not neglect lessons in the mechanics of automobiles and it is rarely that the Registry Inspector fails anyone, even for improper turn¬ ing on a hill. Through the personal contact he has with his students, Mr. Cronan displays the ability to be a fine “associate counselor.” His quiet, good-humored ways will long be remembered by us. Mr. Cronan, Notre Dame, is shown with Weston’s 1959 drivers’ education car. They Are Interested in the World and Its Problems .Mr. C iurninings, Harvard, Mrs. Lcnrow, Swarthmore, and Mr. Cronan, Notre Dame, stand in front of one of the many maj s used in illustrating social studies at Weston. Not shown is Mr. Killebrcw, Boston U nis ' crsity. Mr. .Smith. Brown Uniwrsity, Head of the Social Studies l)e])artment looks at one of the isual aids used in his classes. Social Studies at Weston High School is an extremely unified set of courses, beginning with studies of World Geography in the freshman year, and climaxed by an almost seminar-like class in Modern Problems in the senior year. Instruction in the geography course is handled by Mrs. Ruth Lenrow. In the sophomore year, Mr. Frederic Kille- brew’s wry humor and insight into political theory makes W orld History a pleasant course. The Junior Class studies American History under Mr. Norman Smith, whose pleas¬ ant nature is exemplified by the time he spends gi ing tutorial aid to his students after school. The leadershi]) of the Modern Problems cla.sses is the responsibility of Mr. Leo Cronan, Mr. Charles Cummings, and Mr. Norman Smith. This class is highlighted by fiery discussions and two thousand word j)apers. 10 The high scores of Veston High School seniors on the English sections of the Boston University battery and the Iowa tests indicate the high level of the English education of the school. The English Department di¬ rected by Mr. Paul Mitchell is comprised of instructors of state-wide renown. Mr. Mitchell himself is known for his ready wit, coupled with a sure and understand¬ ing handling of his students. He conducts English classes which arc the high points in his students’ days. Mr. Robert Lavellc and Miss Claire McDonough, who advise the newspaper, apply their skills in syntax and aj preciation of literature to the underclass groups; Mrs. Ruth Lenrow, with her southern accent, and Mr. John Zorn, who conducts an “English workshop,” complete the department. Mr. Mitchell, Boston University, is the highly esteemed Head of the English Department. and Extend Their Knowledge of Their Own Language Miss McDonough, Radcliffe, Mr. Lavelle, Montclair State Teachers’ College, and Mrs. Lenrow, Swarth- more, are caught in an informal pose at an English Department meeting. Ml ' . .urn. l ' ni fi ' sily of .New 11.impshiie. is shuvMi holdiiiii; one of Ids iidi ii jilii nes. The importance of speech is stressed in the high school more than it has been in past years. Speech .Arts is taught very thor¬ oughly by Mr. John Zorn, a good-natured man, well-known lor his enthusiasm lor his course. Students taking this course learn correct spr ' aking habits and be- conu ' moil ' at ea.se when sj eaking publicly. Remedial reading is a non- creilit course for improxing read¬ ing habits. Under the able guidance of business-like Miss Callahan, many readers ha e in¬ creased their reading speeds con¬ siderably. 11 Miss Call.ihan. Boston University, demonstrates the use of the read¬ ing .lei ' cleralor. 1 Business courses are offered for those who are interested in secretarial positions following high school. Mrs. Thelma Hoyle, a cool and reserved woman, diligently works to help her students improve their skills in typing and shorthand. A half-year typing course is designed for students wishing to learn the basic typing ; skills for use in personal work. Advanced typing and stenography courses are taught to future secretaries. Office practice gives |j valuable experience to the students in preparation for secre- tarial jobs. Mrs. Hoyle, Salem State Teachers College, explains the use of the dupli¬ cating equipment. While Being Introduced to Foreign Ones. The progressive outlook of language instruction at Weston High School is represented by such unique institutions as instruction in Russian and four years of French, both unusual in schools of Wes¬ ton’s size. The department leadership offered by Mrs. Theresa Zamprogno is greatly responsible for this. An energetic and much re¬ spected woman, the forceful and personal delivery of her subject, French, rank her high in student popularity. The other French teacher, Mrs. Venezia Mezzacappa, in her first year at Weston, has introduced remarkably analytical methods of language instruction. Latin, always a well-populated class, is taught by Mrs. Bucuvalas, a teacher with a delightful sense of humor and liv ' ely teaching meth¬ ods. Russian, a strange language to sophomores, juniors, and sen¬ iors studying it, is handled by Mr. Frederic Killebrew, a man with a subtle wit and an extremely “human” attitude. Mrs. Zamprogno, Boston University, rings the bell that has quieted many classes. Mrs. Bucuvalas, Middlebury College, indicates the correct use of Latin verbs. The smile of Mrs. Mezzacappa, Boston Uni ' ersity, gi cs some in¬ dication of her personality. Mr. Killebrew, Boston Uni er- sity, cx])lains the significance of certain Russian symbols. i Mr. Robert Corley, director of music at Weston High School, has in two years injected tremendous vitality into Veston’s band and orchestra. Never one to withhold a deserved criticism to any errant musician, Mr. Corley’s know-how is shown by constant “A” ratings received by Weston groups at music festivals. Also, he has originated many brilliant half-time displays at the football games. Aided by her vivid imagination and natural art talent. Miss Alice M. Olliff, Art Department Head, provides her students with an interesting art program. Each year’s prom decorations become reality only through her sage advice. A hobbyist photographer, her ability in this field goes far beyond the connotation assigned to “amateur.” Mr. Corley, Boston Univer¬ sity, is the Director of Mu¬ sic in the Weston schools. Miss Olliff, Massachu¬ setts School of Art, stands in front of some samples of her students’ work. Many Explore Mathematics and the Fine Arts. Mrs. Ellsworth, Wheaton and Smith; Mr. Stuart, Albany State Teachers’ College; Miss Zelinka, University of Vienna, Austria; members of the Mathematics Department contemplate mathematics models. Miss Green, Boston Uni¬ versity, standing with her renowned rubber tree, is Head of the Mathematics From the basic fundamentals of arithmetic to advanced studies in the theory of limits, the teaching of mathematics in Veston High School has gained respect with college admissions boards throughout the nation. The staff, headed by Miss Helen Green, who has been cited for “excellence in mathematics teaching” by the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, in¬ cludes Mrs. June Edlsworth, respected for her clear and concise handling of teaching; Mr. Robert Stuart, a competent teacher; and Mi.ss Martha Ze¬ linka. perhai)s the school ' s most forceful and direct teacher. Miss Green heisell. the senior memix ' r of the high school teaching stafi, needs no de¬ scription. Her uiKlerstanding and brilliant instruction will be remembered by hei’ students long aftei ' their college graduations. 13 Department. Standing with some of the machinery used in preparing meals are cooks Mrs. Foote, Mrs. Burke, Mrs. Jacques, and Mrs. Riley. Valuable Services Rendered Are Highly Appreciated. For any organization to function at top efficiency, it must have a competent and skilled group of per¬ sonnel handling its basic mechanics. This is the function filled by the bus drivers, custodians, and kitchen help. Our bus drivers are often not appreciated. The ferrying of thirty to fifty individuals in the age bracket of eight to eighteen is no easy task; yet they do their work cheerfully and inspire the confidence of the parents. During the day, the kitchen helji works arduously to prepare food for almost four hundred hungry pco- Shown with one of the fleet of buses are bus drivers Mr. De- Lorric, Mr. Clronin, Mr. Dolph, Mr. LaCross, Mr. White, and Mrs. McAulifTe. pie. Mrs. Burke’s and Mrs. Riley’s smiling faces hover over the serving spoons, making the day more pleasant. In these days, it is hard indeed to find a good lunch for twenty-five cents. Janitorial help at Weston High School is not only effective, but it is also pleasant and cooperative. Mr. Merrill, Mr. Cain, Mr. McLeod, and Mr. Clarke are always ready to maintain the building and to help students with their individual plights. Weston can easily claim that “The people behind the faculty” are among the best. The upstairs custodian, Mr. MacLeod, and the downstairs custodian, Mr. Clarke, stand in front of the gym door. 14 High School Students Take A Look At Weston’s Alumni 1 THOMAS CLARKE Perhaps the alumnus best known to the graduating class is Tom Clarke, who graduated with the class of 1931. As custodian of the high school, Mr. Clarke, affectionately known to all as “Tom,” has played a major part in the story of our class through its four years in high school. In his high school days, Tom distinguished himself in school ath¬ letics, starring on the varsity teams in baseball and ice hockey. Besides excelling in athletics, Tom won numerous speaking competitions and was president of his class for three years. Vhile in Weston, Tom has compiled an impressive record of town service. He has been President of the Alumni Association for two years, and shown that he is an accomplished Thespian by performing in plays produced by the Kiwanis Club, the Alumni Association, and local church groups. He has been publicity chairman for the Boy Scouts, and ha s served on the Property Committee of the Baptist church. Tom Clarke, a very real and dear friend to every member of our class, has truly earned the respect and affection of the school and the community. Thomas Clarke GRANT MERRILL PALMER, JR. An alumnus of the class of 1917, Grant Merrill Palmer graduated in a class of thirteen, at a time when the high school was lodged in the recently renovated Building B. He played left field on the base¬ ball team for three years and participated in school plays. Upon his graduation from Weston High School, he was awarded the Paine Scholarship; and with this he attended Harvard. Mr. Palmer now lives on Hilltop Road and has two daughters who are also alumnae of Weston High School. He has been practicing law in Boston since his graduation from Harv ard Law School. Besides being a lawyer, Mr. Palm er influences the community through his activities as town library trustee, town council member, and member of the Unitarian Church Standing Committee. He served as chairman of the committee which determined the plans for Build¬ ing C. He has served on the School Committee and as town clerk, and has been president of the P. T. A. and the Alumni Association. 15 (Jraiit P.iliiicr d To See What They Are Doing. Many times alumni from the Class of 1958 return to football and basketball games, reunions, and town functions. Not only for this reason are they of interest, but also because we still remember their activities while we were juniors — their “cowboys and Indians” April Fool’s Day; their “Supreme Senior” slogan; and their individual habits. Thus we present the Class of 1958 and their activities at a year after their graduation. Carol Akers .

The Freshmen Work Hard to Gain Knowledge The freshman year opens an entirely new way of life for the one hundred twenty members of the class of 1962. For the first time they are offered choices in courses, and they carefully plan their high school futures. All the trademarks of high school life—home¬ work, “formal” lunch periods, and many other things which were formerly sampled, are now actually lived for the first time. Freshmen begin to sample the choice of outside activities in Weston High School. For the first time mathematics, science, and languages are seen as forms of recreation.

Junior varsity teams take a good part of the freshman athletes, who show poten¬ tial for several years ahead in Weston’s athletic con¬ tests. Politics and science become part of the way of life for the freshmen of 1959, and although the ranks are thinned by emigrants to private school, there is still a tremendous scholastic potential remaining. Freshmen will remember the physical science course, “realistic” plays in social studies, and mathe¬ matics courses geared to our Sputnik Era. FIRST ROW: D. Rossi, S. Vail, P. Storm, R. Wile, E. Rci.

The Sophomores, Who Look Back with Satisfaction, The rigors of the freshman year completed, stu¬ dents of Veston High School proceed to that won¬ derful year of the tenth grade. Conditioned to the patterns of high school life, yet still unexposed to the constant strain of work of the upper classes, the sophomores have had their first lessons in the science of frogs and geraniums under Mr. Keene’s laboratory- centered tutelage, and have for the first time been exposed to Russian, a totally new language to them. Sophomores begin to establish the patterns of their personalities by seriously selecting the range of their extra-curricular activities. Already, the sophomore FIRST ROW: M. Kilgore, A. Jones, M.

The tenth grade has been represented in the Student Council this year by Steve Richardson, Bob White, and Jan Olson. Other constructive activities by members of this class have demonstrated abilities far in excess of what is expected of students in this age bracket and they should develop into fine future leaders of the high school.

The Junior Year, the Year of the Prom, This year, as juniors, the Class of 1960 learned the meaning of the word “work.” Many things such as the necessity of preliminary college applications, preparation of graduation decorations, the many hours of work for the Junior Prom, and the academic work of the junior year impressed them as their own senior year rapidly approached. One of the strongest features of this class is its O leadership which promises to continue next year. Leading personalities have contributed this year as class officers, newspaper staff, and club members. Scholastically, the Junior Class has been exposed to a new class in “honor chemistry,” designed to delve deeply into theoretical aspects. Some juniors have also elected to take Russian, a new course in Weston. In athletics the Junior Class provided the football team’s almost unstoppable left halfback.

One of the basketball team’s leading players was high-scoring Terry Dunn; and Read Langenbach was the cross-country squad’s fastest member. As prospective seniors who must represent the school and its activi¬ ties, the Juniors presage a successful year ahead. Mr. Sawyer’s X-period chemistry labo¬ ratory is a typical junior classroom. The enthusiasm shown is characteristic of the way in which Weston’s science pro¬ gram has responded to the pressure of the times. 23 Caught in the art room making plans for their Prom are Junior Class Secretary Maribeth Hanson, President Fred Crawford, Vice-presi¬ dent Esther Lombard, and Treasurer Beverly Eaton. Here Are the Leaders of the Underclassmen. The activities of each class are directed by its elected officers. The president presides over class meetings, directs discussions, and organizes the nec¬ essary committees. The vice-president is an ex-officio member of the committees formed, and with the other officers helps to plan class activities. The job of the secretary is to keep an account of class meetings, com¬ mittees, and other activities. Of course, the treasurer has the all-important job of handling financial affairs. Great demands are placed on the leaders of Weston High School, and this year’s class officers successfully fulfilled these demands. Their numerous responsibil¬ ities oblige the class officers to give up much of their spare time in order to carry out their duties. There is svery evidence that this year’s officers have shown not only a high degree of leadership, but also a cheerful willingness to sacrifice their time and effort to their respective classes. Sophomore class officers are Dick Rizzo, treasurer; Posy Lombard, vice-president; Roger Perry, president; and Susan Lappen, secretary. Freshman class officers shown at side door are Darlene De- Napoli, secretary; Pam Storm, treasurer; President Art King; and Lynn Frye, vice-president. 24 ARSINE VICTORIA AVAKIAN “Arsine” . . .

Three Weston students intimately connected with the Class of 1959, yet holding positions unique to the general body of the class, deserve special mention in Mosaic 1959. Francoise Cilly, affectionately known by a spectrum of nicknames from “Francette” to “Fif,” was 1959’s exchange student from Rombas, France. She has proven herself more than just a guest by joining with us in our activities, never aback and always welcomed. Francette’s gay humor has added much to the Class of 1959. THOMAS JESSE KELLY, Jr. Tom Kelly terminated his high school career one year early to attend Johns Hopkins University. Tom, a talented scientist and diligent student, retained his ties with Weston High throughout his freshman year in college, and returned to graduate with us. Susan Toner spent the school year of 1958-9 in Rombas, France, depriving us of her delightful per¬ sonality and ready wit. Sue’s unique talent in lan¬ guages has been most useful to her in her new en¬ vironment, and her return to Weston will be eagerly awaited by the Class of 1960. SUSAN TONER I t The Right Combination of Headache, Hard Work and Fun The sight of the gym at eight o’clock on Friday evening, May 10, 1958, prc - vided a fitting culmination to the efforts of the Junior Class members who had worked so arduously to make “Paris au Printemps” Weston’s finest Prom. With the needed and much appreciated aid of Mrs. Zam- progno, Mr. Mitchell, and Miss Olliff, the gym was suc¬ cessfully transformed into “Paris in the Spring,” complete with the blinking Eiffel Tower, baskets of flowers, and the im¬ mense pictorial map of Paris concealing the bleachers and sup¬ ply closet doors. Our class father, Mr. Alan Winsor, serves punch to four thirsty boys: John Garabedian, Roger Drowne, Peter Lawson, Dennis Cribben. Relaxing on the unfinished throne are John Perry and Jim Robbins. Several Prom Committee mem bers with Mrs. Zamprogno are L. Johnson, J. Rob¬ bins, C. Howard, S Bump. Queen Linda Rudell feeds cake to her date, Alvin Wormwood, while three members of her court — Ann Kellogg, Janet Reidel, and Barbara Gaudreau watch. Results in an Unforgettable Prom Standing behind the refreshment table to cut the cake are the Queen and her deserving court: Lee Hibler, Judy Sherman, Laurie Shepardson, Pam Robb, Linda Rudell, Ann Kellogg, Janet Reidel, Barbara Gardreau, Bunny Rizzo. The lovely Prom Queen, Linda Ru¬ dell, is crowned by Peter Bryant, Junior Class President. AT 47 Checking the office’s master file are Literary Editor Arsine Avakian, Activities Sports Editors Ann Kellogg and Steve Editor Sue Ferries, Senior Editor Laurie Shepardson, and Advisor Mr. Green inspect some athletic equipment. Lavelle. Co-editors Sue Bump and John Russner check senior pictures. The Yearbook Staff Scrambles to Meet Deadlines The elements that go into the production of a successful yearbook — labor at 2 all hours, writing, editing, cropping and composing, Saturday afternoons spent pursuing advertisements, and disturbed classes in photographing school activities — are among the many things that went into the publication of Mosaic 1959. The staff will always remember the period from September to March when they i pieced Mosaic together. The after-school sessions in Room 202 represent many hours of productive work as well as pleasant sociability. A tremendous vote of thanks is due the faculty advisor, Mr. Robert Lav elle who, besides being the final inspector, kept our spirits up with his inimitable humor; an expression of gratitude is also due the underclassmen who helped in processing photographs. The 1958-1959 school year highlighted many important activities. Alosaic has attempted to tell the story of these events. Sales Manager Jim Robbins chats in the office with Advertising Manager Janet Woodland and Business Manager Bruce Hamill, who has spearheaded Mosaic finances. Mosaic’s art staff includes Artist Frank Best, Photography Editor LeeLee Johnson, and Plead Photographer Larry Forman. Faculty and Alumni Editor Celia Melone dictates to Cleri¬ cal Editor Lee Pfibler. Editor-in-chief John Garabedian checks some data being Art Editor Joe Ewers and Ex- discussed by Mr. Lavelle and Miss McDonough, advisors. change Editor Cora Schulmann give suggestions to Photography Editor Bill Bullock on picture posing. Co-editor E. Lombard, Ad Head R. Langen- bach. Production Head A. Gorman, and Man¬ aging Head F. Craw¬ ford write a memo. and Keeps in Close Contact with the News Magazine Staff. Weston High School’s news magazine the Smoke Signal, continued with improvements which included renovations in format, style, and policy this year. A unified and en¬ thusiastic staff headed by Editor-in-chief John Garabedian, worked hard to produce a superior piece of journalism and to keep the paper financially solvent despite loss of circula¬ tion due to the moving of the seventh and eighth grades to a separate unit. However, the paper was successfully sold to townspeople in the two local drug stores as well as being circulated throughout the school. Coverage extended beyond that of previous years to more editorializing and interviewing of outside personalities. Besides fulfilling its role as “the news magazine of Weston High School” it acted as a liaison between the student body and the administration. The many hours spent by the staff in selling ads and producing and setting up the magazine were well indicated and rewarded by the quality of the publication. STAFF. FIRST ROW: J. Ewers. M.

Helpful Assistants Gain Practical Experience. Whenever a teacher fails to post an attendance slip outside the room an office assistant comes in to get it. This is only one of the countless duties performed by this highly efficient staff of girls that provides much-needed help for the three secretaries. Among the other chores of these assistants are answering the telephone and carrying messages throughout the school to both teachers and stu¬ dents. The library assistants give Mrs. Signe Hynson, the librarian, the opportunity to donate more of her time to helping the students use the library more effectively by signing out books, filing cards, and sending out notices for overdue books. Both the office assist¬ ants and the library assistants donate study hall time to do this work, which deserves high commendation. LIBRARY ASSISTANTS: E. Avigdor, S. Jones, J. Peterson, K. Curtin, C. Mooers, N. Clark, B. Chynoweth, G. Rollins, M. Cowell, J. Ellis, S. Gibbons, E. DiBiase, Mrs. Hynson.

In 1958-9 the Discussion Club at Weston High assumed a major role in the school through its work with joint subcom¬ mittees with the Student Council. In addition to its usual program of discussions of topics currently interesting to the juniors and seniors who comprise the membership of the club, it shared the job of preparing the student report to the com¬ mittee planning the new high school, to be built in the near future. Mr. Charles Cummings, under whose apt guidance the club functions, says that a major function of the club is to stimulate the thinking and the enthusiasm of its members towards exchange of ideas, and the heated debates which often occur would tend to indicate a fine consumation of his ideals. Each year the Discussion Club has an outing to some New England area and a final dis¬ cussion at the home of a mem¬ ber, thus providing a fitting culmination to the year’s ac¬ tivities.

As Council Members Try to Solve Those of the School. Immeasurably assisted by the cooperation of Mr. Willard Smith, the principal, the Weston High Stu¬ dent Council moved forward to a year of notable progress. All sixteen council members, representing the four classes, worked diligently on projects ranging in scope from the institution of a “teen canteen” to the preparation of a report on the possibility of an honor system in the school. Highlighting the mid-year report of the council to the school was the presentation of an official handbook. During the first half year the council also carried out such tasks as the preparation and presen¬ tation of a report on the suggested features of the new high school, and the addition of music to the cafeteria. The work of the council would have been impos¬ sible but for the advice of Mr. Paul Mitchell, who acted as principal liaison between faculty and the council, and also suggested many profitable courses of council action. The ovation given the council at each assembly as new reports were made to the school bore out student opinion of the council work, and verified the council slogan — “achieving by doing.” With Mr. Mitchell, advisor, are the Stu¬ dent Gouncil officers: B. White, vice- president; S. Herrick, treasurer; J. Olson, secretary; J. Reissner, president. HONOR SOCIETY — SENIORS. FIRST ROW: M. Jenney, E. Larkin, S. Ferries, S. Bump, S. Ayers S. Mc¬ Guire.

Weston High School’s honorary organization, the Carl T. Rhoades Chapter of the National Honor Society is comprised of seniors and juniors who have outstanding scholastic records,and who possess qualities of leadership, service, and charac¬ ter. Selection is made by the faculty on the basis of the scholastic records and these other charac¬ teristics. Several sophomores are also designated as provisional members. 1959’s induction ceremony was unique in its originality of concept; the program was different from that of other years and featured an inspiring address by Reverend Sandy McEacherin. The caliber of the National Honor Society membership may easily be seen by the achievements of the various members; its example is a glowing one indeed. The senior members who were elected in their junior year are Sue Bump, Alan Scott, Ann Kel¬ logg, Sally Ayers, Ann Wolff, and Arsine Avakian. i 1 HONOR SOCIETY — JUNIORS. FIRST ROW: N. .-Mbrecht, N.

Enthusiastic Students Participate in One With the advent of Russian in Weston, the Russian Club under the direction of Mr. Frederic Killebrew came into being. In the words of President Kepler Stone, the func¬ tion of the organization is to “increase our understanding of the Russian people,” and an informative program has helped the club in working toward its goal. The Camera Club, although limited in membership, is high in educational opportunities. The members of this club both take and develop their own pictures. Weston High’s darkroom facilities are often used by the members, both for experimentation, and for the processing of their work. The advisor, Mr. Irving Keene, and the officers have worked in harmony with the members to produce an ac¬ tive group centered about learning better photography. As in past years, the Art Service Club has been of great service to the school. The members, together with their expert advisor. Miss Alice M. Olliff, have made numerous posters and signs for school and community affairs, and have demonstrated their talents by arranging artistic dis¬ plays in the showcase. This club is vital to the communi¬ cations in Weston High School. THE ART SERVICE CLUB. FIRST ROW: M. Griffith, J. Robbins, L. Johnson, S. Ferries, W. Mann, J. Lawson C. Lazarri, M. Mooers, B.

Whether with the French Christmas party, with the recep¬ tion for Weston’s exchange student, or with the various club programs, W eston High School’s French Club has demonstrated versatility and originality in its work. Under Mrs. Venezia Mezzacappa’s guidance, this club, the largest in the school, typifies the broadening curriculum. The Affiliation Club has also been an active organiza¬ tion this year. Pen-pal correspondence between Rombas and Weston students has been continued and the club has worked on the sale of stationery. On the non-profit side the Affiliation Club joined with the French Club to hold a reception for Francette Cilly, the French exchange student from Rombas. We congratulate the officers and Mrs. Zamprogno for again producing a highly educational and profitable year for Affiliation supporters in the high school. Shaw, S. Bump, C. Melone, J. Lawson, L.

Keeping the Classrooms and Corridors Populated Weston High School’s Mathematics Club has provided the ultimate of club organization and achievement in the school for many years. This year a power¬ ful program of guest speakers, work and recreational meetings, and the annual guest meeting in May was provided. Again advised by Miss Helen Green, this year’s Math Club worked to improve the distribution of its publications. These booklets are already in demand over much of the country. The two officers, excluding the direc¬ tors from each of the four classes, are juniors, which indicates that the group will probably find few problems in main¬ taining its enviable position in the school next year. Discussing some mathematical concepts are: Miss Green, Advisor; A. Corman, Program Chairman; A. . vakian, Secretary-Treasurer; R. Wile, Freshman Director; E. Lombard, President; D.

Science club officers: Sue Bump, secretary; Kepler Stone, vice-president; and president Peter Borelli prepare a demonstration of oxidation. After two years of planning, a science club in Ves- ton High School has finally been established. Divided into two sections, the highly effective nature of the or¬ ganization has been shown by both the constant notices of meetings and the success of member’s projects. The biology section, under the direction of Mr. Ir¬ ving Keene, has attempted to acquaint its members with biology in the town. Bicycle trips and other excursions to town forests and the Arnold Arboretum have pro¬ vided a means to this end. With Mr. Irving Marsden as advisor, the physical science section had an e.xciting program of field trips and well-known speakers, with Dr. Walter Stockmayer opening the club’s program speaking on a new brand of “Meatballs and Spaghetti.” The two sections of the club planned and organized the Science Fair this year, and together have made a place for themselves on the roster of truly functional groups. 57 Among Weston High School’s more talkative clubs is the Announcers Club which, under the direction of Mr. John Zorn, handles the vital job of running the “morning announce¬ ments.” Members read the Bible passage and any announcements submitted by groups, in¬ dividuals, or teachers relating to subjects from club meetings to lost dogs.

Weston High School’s choir, always a successful musical organization, this year has set, a new high in attendance with one hundred and thirty members. This has created the problem of a shortage in choir robes, which has been alleviated by the willingness of the freshmen to practice with the choir, but to forego performing in public. Not so easily alleviated has been the shortage of male voices, but the choir has had a rewarding year nevertheless, from its Christ¬ mas assembly to its immensely appreciated part in the Spring Concert. Besides the choir, upperclass girls have the oppor¬ tunity to sing in smaller groups. The Melodears and the Wrong Notes, handle a repertoire ranging from “Sleep Holy Babe” to “Santa Baby.” These groups, entirely self-organized, entertain themselves and their listeners.

Combine to Make Weston’s Able Musical Groups In 1958-59, forty-eight students combined their musical talents to produce another successful year for the Weston High School Orchestra. Representing all the classes in both the junior and senior high schools, they practiced together diligently, achieving a high standard of quality. The orchestra participated in school functions such as the Christmas and Honor Society Assemblies. A string group, composed of lead¬ ing violinists, violists, cellists, and basses performed at the school play, providing music both before cur¬ tain time and between the acts. This year, the entire orchestra attended the music festival in Belmont where they received high com¬ mendation from the judges. The orchestra climaxed its year at the annual Spring Concert, held at the Country School. A great deal of credit for the orchestra’s outstand¬ ing year is due President Diane Dolan, Concert Mis¬ tresses Armine Avakian and Beth Parsons, and to conductor Mr. Robert O. Corley. The right side of the orchestra includes first and second violins, clarinets, trombones, a bassoon, an oboe, saxo- The left side of the orchestra includes piano, violas, French phones, trumpets, and the percussions. horns, and basses.

Corley, performed an un¬ usually commendable repertoire in 1958-9 with out¬ standing performances in precision marching on the football field and highly rated demonstrations of con¬ cert work. A novel innovation for the band in 1958 was the institution of formations ranging from square dances to wagon wheels, all between the halves of the football games. The intricate formations were hailed as near-collegiate in quality by the spectators at the games. I ' he thirty-two members of the band represent all four classes at Weston High School. There also exists, however, a great musical potential in the elementary and junior high schools, which promises to fill more than adequately any vacancies in the band due to graduation. This situation, along with the continued leadership of Mr. Corley, will enable the band to maintain its status as a leading school organization. Assisting the band were the majorettes, Maribeth Hanson, Miriam Kilgore, Marie Larsen, Barbara Wyman, Ann Jones, and Janet Tenneson. CAST AND ASSIST¬ ANTS. SITTING: S. Ferries, P. Koelb, S.

The senior players — Ann Winsor, Susan Ferries, Chuck Howard, Laurie Shepardson, Sally Murphy, and Palmer Koelb — were excellent in their por¬ trayals of the various character parts as were the other members of the cast. This year the scenery was again very realistic and much praise is due to Mr. Hale and the people associated with its production. The construction crew had a unique job for this production; that of creating the background for a messy, unpredictable household. All those who saw the play know what a splendid job they did. The combination of scenery, excellent direction, m eight weeks of rehearsal, and undying spirit were some of the reasons why the cast performed so well. � Many people in the audience were surprised and delighted to see their classmates and relatives acting with such ease and ability on the stage. As the play closed with a supper of blintzes cooked by a Russian duchess, the cast could look back with i satisfaction on a laudable job. i i • i Ann Winsor flits across the stage as she was wont to do.

Football, Popular with Both Athletes and Spectators Each year, two or three days before school recon¬ venes, the football team begins its vigorous practice sessions. After the long summer sun and the fresh air of summer the players don their clean stiff sweat¬ shirts and yellow football pants to start on their ath¬ letic endeavors for the year. Thirty-five seniors and underclassmen turned out for the varsity squad in the forty-third football sea¬ son at Weston. Led by co-captains Bill Connolly and John Perry, the team showed tremendous drive and spirit throughout the year, although the loss of four starters through injuries hampered the final record. Team play was highlighted by the brilliant line- work of the co-captains, the all-round performance of Quarterback Buzz Granholm, the fierce offensive running by Jay Adams, and the effective play of Sophomore Forbes McMullin before his injury. The season featured such epic plays as last-second Weston’s kicker, Ken McRae, practices his art while Curt Jay Adams (45), Bill Connolly (70), and Mike Mc- Evans steadies the pigskin for him.

Under Coach Robert Carini Weston basketball in past years has earned a tradition of success, and in 1959, Co-captains Steve Lawson and Terry Dunn led their spirited team to a victorious season. Throughout the season spectators were treated to see Weston pull into the lead during the last minutes of play and go on to win by two and three point margins. Backed up by the scoring onslaughts of Terry Dunn and Buzz Gran- holm, the Wildcat hoopsters won ten of thirteen regular season games. Having qualihed for the Tech Tourney, the team had the misfortune of being matched with Bourne, the Cape Cod championship team. At Quincy, Bourne, which later went into the tourney finals, defeated Weston 70—44. Weston’s disappointment was tempered by the realiza¬ tion that they had lost the lead only after the first half; hampered by fouls, the Wildcats were outscored by Bourne’s driving team. Both in the Dual County League, where Weston finished second to undefeated Wayland, and in the Tech Tourney, Weston showed a tremendous degree of team cooperation and spirit. Cbiriiii.

The girls, coached by Miss Marie Butera, demonstrated a high degree of cooperation in overcoming teams from schools larger than Weston High School.

The low scores of the opposition indicated the effec¬ tiveness of the guards’ defensive play. The record of 5 wins, 2 losses, and 1 tie rewarded the team for its fiercely competitive efforts. from mid- Coach Butera led the team through an im¬ pressive year. 71 The star Junior Class members of the powerful and unde¬ feated tennis team, Ann Kel¬ logg (left) and Sue McGuire. I Spring Sports Attract Enthusiastic Athletes Weston’s girls’ and boys’ tennis teams matured magnificently in their fourth season, both gaining undefeated records on their respective schedules. Led by the spectacular playing of John Wyman and Bob Wilkes’s consistently powerful shots, the boys defeated Westwood, Newton J. V., and Lexington twice, while defeating Concord and tying Noble and Greenough. The girls triumphed over Walpole, Wellesley, Westwood, Concord, and Newton. BOYS’ TENNIS TEAM. FRONT: R. Wilkes, C.

Coached by Driver-Education Instructor, Mr. Leo Cronan, and led on the fairways by senior John Perry, Weston’s squad met and outplayed teams from Marlboro, Northboro, Southboro, Hopkinton, and Wayland, and was defeated only by West- boro and Ashland. This strong Weston team played its home tourneys on the fine links of the Weston Golf Club, thanks to the generosity of the club’s directors. GOLF TEAM. FRONT: R. DeAmbrose, L. Forman, P. Borelli.

To Acquire Proficiency in the Various Sports Highlighted by a smashing 12—0 victory over arch-nval Way- land, the girls’ softball team went on to finish with a creditable 4—3 record. Their strongest adversary was neighboring Lincoln- Sudbury. In the first encounter of the two teams, Weston was defeated 14—0; although they fought valiantly in the second game, they were edged out by three runs, 14—11. Concord, Wal¬ pole, and Wayland provided easy victories for the girls. Esther Lombard and Dot White formed an exceptional battery, compiling a first-rate strike-out record.

And Winning Weston Many Athletic Laurels 1958 was a building year for the baseball team at Weston High. The squad was inexperienced, drawing most of its members from freshman and sophomore ranks, and this inexperience showed against the strong teams of the Dual County League. The high point of the season was a brilliant victory as the young Wildcats toppled the league-champion Wayland team, 1—0, in a thrill packed game, marked by a protest which was later withdrawn by Wayland.

Distance runner Steve Richardson demonstrates one of the methods used by the cross-country team in “limbering up.” Thus Sports Play a Large Part in Weston’s Mosaic. Another autumn sport for boys at Weston High School was introduced to the athletic curriculum sev- aral years ago to balance the traditional American game of football. Now the eager student may partici¬ pate in the ancient international sport of cross- counti ' y running. What football teaches the young man in hard body contact and quick thinking, long distance running teaches in endurance and courage in the face of extreme fatigue. Last fall a few hardy upperclassmen joined the team, built around returning lettermen Read Langen¬ bach and Lars Rydell, with senior Bob Wilkes, run¬ ning for his first year, turning in an impressive record. In six tries against Lexington, Woburn, North An¬ dover, Stoneham, Everett Vocational, and Bedford, the team was not victorious, although a strong placement in the league meet showed a quite pow¬ erful team for a school of Weston’s size.
