NO. 23 012 GREEN YEARS— In our four years our cultivation and growth has been reflected by you. You have beheld our meditations, speculations and fantasies GREEN YEARS 1968 Senior Class Publication Westwood High School Westwood, Massachusetts Marjorie Johnson Co-Editor Ann Wheeler Co- Editor Charles W. Flahive Advisor .... We have been the offshoots of a fertile existence and you have been our mirror. In you we have seen truth, beauty, enthusiasm and we have learned to cherish them. FOREWORD How much can one grow in four years? One can and does grow infinitely. We, the seniors of Westwood High School, have grown intellectually, socially, and morally. The values we now hold are different from those we held as freshmen. As we look back on the last four years, we remember and sometimes forget the thousands of incidents which have contributed to our growth. This mirror of images forms not only a re- membrance of the past but foretells the future: for our graduation from high school is but a step toward a future which promises still greater development. •- _— r- .J 3 CONTENTS CURRICULUM 12-13 Future achievements depend upon the understanding gained by the students from their teachers and through the curriculum. SENIORS 26-27 UNDERGRADUATES. .74-75 From the freshman to the senior class, the students, the people who walk our corridors, study, participate, and compete dominate our high school scene. ACTIVITIES 84-85 The students participating in the extra- curricidar activities offered at Westwood High make positive contributions to the school while developing their own talents. ATHLETICS 104-105 Competitive experiences gained from participation in sports, whether on field, track, or court, take us a long way to maturity. ADVERTISEMENTS 117 The generous contributions of the merchants and businessmen of our com- munity make possible the publication of our yearbook. You have reflected the light light within and without. We have seen this light, and we will hold it. For it has directed us toward fulfdlment. Activities present a broader view of high school life You, as our mirror, have taught us to recognize ourselves. For this enlightenment we thank you. You have been no mere flashing reflection of ourselves : growing stretching questing and stumbling, and trying once again — But instead a constant reflection Through times light and dark — no clouded mirror — Always with clarity, reality a reflection of faults, strengths thoughts and ambitions. No more than what we are are you. But we have been so much and You have reflected this. — Deborah Systrom — I 1 ■ II ■ Dedicated to . . . Talented, Devoted, Teacher. MR. JOHN MARKARIAN We, the class of 1968, dedicate our yearbook to one who has been not only a fine teacher but also a sincere friend- Mr. Markarian. You have taught us to appreciate the beauty of music. You have helped us to develop our talents. You have given us music that has been enjoyed not only by our school but also the entire community. More than this, you have been a friend; a friend who has been helpful, patient, dedicated, through long hours of rehearsals and fulfilling moments of success. For all that you have done fo r us and our school, we sincerely thank you. 11 CURRICULUM !w  ii; The Westvood High... school program of studies encompasses courses that provide learning opportunities which prepare the students for their life after graduation.

In the transition we are no longer the upper classmen but lowly freshmen. With the aid of the computer we have seemingly lost our names. As we show up for classes thirty minutes late our old self-confidence fades. How can we make our class the best ever when we can ' t even find the New Wing? February 1965 Dear Diary, Now that we ' ve been given several months to adjust to life as a high school freshman we are eligible to elect class officers. Putting our trust in the superior executive capablities of women we promptly elected Chris DeAngelis— President, Judy Hancox -Vice President, Mimi Pruyn-Secretary, and Roseanne Clark- Treasurer. Having accomplished this we turned to the problem of finances. To fill our empty coffers we staged a Valentine Dance Love Potion. With this activity over we once again had to settle back to the same, dull routine-study. April 1966 Dear Diary, In becoming Sophomores we ' ve regained more than our share of confidence. We also seem to have licked all of our major problems except one-the computer. But after getting all the girls out of industrial arts and the boys out of the girls ' gym we were on an even keel. This is the year of disect- ing frogs before lunch and becoming semi-finalists in the Tech Tourney. We ran a dance and had a dues drive to earn money for next year ' s prom. But since it ' s so far away, why worry about it now? 60 years ■■■■■■ i H Secretary and Roseanne Clark-elected Treasurer, for the fourth time have reported that there is a shortage of funds in our treasury. But then there ' s the greater problem of appli- cations, financial aid forms-in short what to do and where to go next year. Our impossible dream temporarily seems to be a night mare. June 1968 Dear Diary, With the college applications, job hunting and plans for the future finally completed, there seems to be little else left to do. We ' ve made it through good old WHS. In the process we ' ve matured greatly, met new people and seen old friends leave. We ' ve created scholars, musicians, plays and sports teams. There is so little time remaining that we appreciate our high school more than ever. Shortly we ' ll graduate and be more or less on our own. Our years here might seem quite similar to those of other classes-but to us they have been unique be- cause we were the ones who lives through them. June 1967 Dear Diary, The major event of our Junior year is the prom. All events seemed to lead up to it, including our successful dances. Under the direction of Mr. Baker, our class officers, and our prom chairmen, Dana Stevens, Debbie Gill, and Judy Hart, and after weeks of hard work we managed to transform the drab gym into a romantic African Paradise— Karamaya (Quite a feat, huh?) After recovering from the after effects of the prom we elected senior class officers and chose our year book photographer. In doing so we acquired an unofficial case of Senioritis. September 1967 Dear Diary. Our impossible dream has come true-we ' re officially seniors. Now we can have the honor of marching into assemblies. We also have a new addition to our class-a bouncy A.

On May 19, 1967 the Class of 1968 presented their Junior-Senior Prom entitled Karamaya , host Village. The school gymnasium was miraculously transformed into an African paradise. After crossing the flower bedecked bridge you found yourself in a dreamy atmosphere created by innumerable tropical flowers, breath-taking murals, a sparkling waterfall and enchanting music provided by Mr. Mona- ghan ' s talented orchestra. The entire evening could not have been possible without the advice of Mr. Baker and the hard working co-chairmen Debi Gill, Judy Hart and Dana Stevens and the entire class. Barbara Pruyn is crowned queen of Karamaya Seniors score smash in Wilder ' s M 4 - r, • Senior Class Play Despite several major set-backs such as having to change the play after auditions and a bad case of laryngitis for the leading lady, the Senior Class Play, Thornton Wilder ' s By the Skin of our Teeth was a tremendous success.

The sports program draws crowds for all events and has widespread sup- port throughout the town as well as the school. 105 Individual performances shine during dis- appointing season Despite a poor record, this year ' s team showed a lot of hustle and potential. After defeating Lynnfield in the first game, the Wolverines remained winless until Thanks- giving, when they defeated Milford 12-8 on a mud- soaked field. Many of the team ' s losses were by less than one touchdown. Had the team got a few more breaks, the record would have been much better. The Co-Captains of the team were Darrell Benson, Haywood Davis, Ken Coleman, and David Vantine, all of whom did fine jobs all year. David Vantine also be- came the school ' s third leading ground gainer with a total of nearly 900 yards.
