More than half the faculty are different. In l963 only Mr. Mattern, Mr. Prater, and Mr. VVatts held the same ad- ministrative positions as they do today. There are new courses in the curriculum, and some of the old courses no longer exist. Independent Study and Summer Experi- ences were unheard of. The swimming pool was not completed in the fall of 1963 and the Pratt Room was called the Blue Room. And yet, under all these changes, major or minor, significant or insignificant, there is an essential VV ilbraham which never changes. This has probably been the case for many many years and will probably hold true for many years to come. It is a restlessness, a feeling that the job is never done, or that it can always be done better. In the 1959 Del Todo in an article concerning the future of the school, Mr. Mat- tern, after discussing speciHc changes he hoped to ac- complish, went on to say this: Beyond this, I dare not speculate. Rather, I would extend here an invitation to come and see for your- self as the years roll on. At least we shall make the positive prediction that you will not find your school standing stillf, 4 Past This is NVilbraham, always moving aheadg never standing still. But let's move back for a while to 1817 and see what has happened during the past 150 years. In 1817 lames Monroe was new to the office of Presi- dent. Many of the revolutionary leaders were still active. Throughout the country education was needed if the young republic was to thrive or even exist. And so in New Market, New Hampshire, XVesleyan Academy opened with five boys, five girls, and two faculty members. From 1817 to 1824 the Academy enrolled 400 students and the school became the first successful Methodist school in the United States. In 1824, it became apparent that the New Market location was hardly adequate. And so the school moved to XVilbraham, and Old Academy, the only school building at the time, was constructed. NVith Doctor NVilbur Fisk as principal, the school grew in the first year from seven to 10-1 students. By 1831, when Dr. Fisk left to be the first President of YVesleyan Univer' sity, 1150 students had gone out from NVes1eyan Academy. Tluis, in its first 15 years of existence, the school educated more than 1500 boys and girls, a truly remarkable accomplishment. The Academy continued to thrive. Most of the stu- dents in the 1830's and 1840's went on to WVesleyan, Harvard, Yale, Dartmouth, Brown, VVilliams and Amherst. New courses were introduced and in 18-18 a ladies graduating Louise was invoked. The tuition in 1866 was six dollars a term with room and board three dollars a week. The Academy continued to grow throughout the 1800's with the additions of Fisk Hall in 1851, Biiiiiey Hall in 1854, Rich Hall in 1861, and the Smith Gymnasium in 1896. In its day Smith was an outstanding Building. In its basement were bowling alleys and the main section of the building housed the first basketball court in the Connecticut Valley. At the turn of the century the Academy was still a center of education for New England. However, soon after the turn of the century, the enrollment began to decline, Clue primarily to a busi- ness depression which had gripped the country. In 1911 XVesleyan Academy closed. The closing was only temporary, for in 1912 it reopened as NVi1brahani Academy. The era of a great school had ended, the era of a greater was incipient. Physical changes have occurred over and over since then. lylodernization of Rich Hall was undertaken in 1931. Corbin Field House and the Chapel were acquired in 1929 and 19331 respectively. The Board Track was built in 1935 and Hodgkins, VVinchester, and Chapin Houses, among others, have been obtained since then. In 19633 Chamberlin was built, and the following year the Swimming Pool was added onto the Creenhalgh Cymnasium, which was itself completed in 1951. 5 ? .l l A Q wk Perhaps the most significant change ever to occur in the Acade- my's history was in 1955 when W. Gray Mattern, Ir., became the nineteenth Headmaster. A Yale graduate at 19, Mr. Mattern's edu- cational career began as an English teacher at Taft, where some of the boys were older than he. At age 24, he became Headmaster of The Irvington School. Several years later he came to Wilbraham. In a little more than a decade, Mr. Mattern has increased the size of the school from 170 to 5300. In the future he sees a possible growth to 450. Since Mr. Matternis appointment a young, exciting faculty has been formed. And, year by year, student caliber has improved. The air at Wilbraham today is one of cautious optimism. Stu- dents and faculty are excited about the possibilities of the future for Wilbraham. At the same time, however, no one is neglecting the present, and the responsibility which everyone shares. Proof of this is the athletic records that were made this year. The football team had its most successful season in years. Highlights of that season included wins over Suffield and Williston by respective scores of 40-0 and 8-0. Basketball, baseball, hockey, skiing and Wrestling all had highly successful years. Spring track was again undefeated in dual meets. In the classroom too, innovations, exciting and valuable, were made. One American history class held a two week Vietnam Peace Conference, which saw the North Vietnam Udelegationn walk out at the end. The i'Student Projectl'-sponsored Colloquium appeared to be a huge success, and it is hoped that weekends of its nature will be continued. The tutoring which was begun with The Northern Educational Service in conjunction with the 6'Student Projectu gave 60 boys a chance to view, and try to ameliorate, the positions in this world of 60 underprivileged children in Springfield. And so Wilbraham is a concerned community, with a sense of accomplish- ment, looking ahead with eagerness. 6 Present 7 Colloquium In the spring of 1967 The Student Project decided to expand its activities by embarking upon a project unique in the history of this institution. Throughout its history, the Projects primary concern has been in aiding international education. Although we know that this endeavor is worthwhile and is one which we wish to continue, we also have come to believe that we, since we have the fimds, should increase our educational activity here on campus. After much serious thought, we decided upon a symposium concerning problems students are forced to face today. From these many and varied problems we chose to focus on three: Civil Disobedience, Drinking and Drugs, and the Student in the University, During the weekend we had many experts on these topics on campus to lead discussion groups, debate, and give their opinions on these difficult problems. On Friday morning of the Colloquium weekend, Mr. Brent Bozell and Mr. Robert Parsonage debated the general topic, Student Protest and Dissent in the 6O's.', This proved to be a controversial and thus dynamic force in setting the student tone for the weekend. Mr. Bozell opened by denouncing student protest. He used the argument that it is the students place only to gain knowledge, and not to express opinions. Naturally, the students did not accept his conservative ideals. They found an ally in Mr. Parsonage, who defended the students. He felt that adults should not shun the students and their ideas, but should attempt to unite with them in an effort to improve conditions. During the question and answer period the students gained more support from Dr. Donald Louriais climactic and impassioned criticism of Mr. Bozell. This left the students with a feeling of anticipation regarding the coming weekend. 8 And the Weekend continued with the same zest. There was disagreement, there was questioning, and most important there was thought. On Sunday after the Colloquium Sam Topp was asked what he thought of the weekend. K'Man, I just thought too much. I thought so much I could hardly get out of bed todayf' From Friday morning through Saturday night there was only one thing certain in the students' minds. The football game with Suffield. Nobody was sure of the rest. Most minds were ablaze with ideasg ideas hard define, but ideas not to be forgotten. And because of this the Colloquium was a success. It was perhaps the most successful thing that occurred on campus all year. Because of its magnitude? Yes. But most important it was a success because of its aftermath. And that aftermath is still with us, and always will be.

But some generalizations can be made. It is a certainty that a near complete overhaul of the physical plant will occur. Indi- vidualized study, more and more of it, is in the making. At this moment there is a deep curriculum study underway. One can also make some preliminary guesses as to other steps forward. It is pos- sible that co-education will be re-introduced. It is probable that Wilbraham will become a four-semester school at which the student chooses three semesters. It is possible that two of these semesters will be spent on campus, a third on an independent study project off-campus and the last as vacation. And so, as the Hrst 150 years of Wilbraham come to a close, the dreams of the future loom before us. In order to make these dreams a reality, we, the class of 1968, must remember Wilbraham, and each one of us, in his small way, must give of himself to his school. It is up to each one of us to help make Wilbraham Academy a leader in tornorrow's world. 16 i 1 1 x P w N N I 17 18 19 Dedication For VVilbraham Academyls one hundred and fiftieth year the class of 1968 sincerely dedicates their yearbook to Mr. VV. Gray Mattern. Ir., a man who has dedicated the last twenty-two years of his life to young men in independent school communities.

Lance was not a nor- mal member of the clfass, his friends were a close knit group, and among these friends he was appreciated. During the fall season few NVilbraham Soccer teams have been blessed with a Captain of more ability than Lance. His name was known all around New England for being one of the most feared full- backs in the area. Lance also was an excellent skier. These athletic abilities place him on the Varsity club.

Around the middle of last October at one of those deadly Wednesday Assemblies, the students of Wil- braham were treated to a harpsichord concert a la Frank and Myra Stratton. During this concert a great musical career was launched, that of Bob Humber- ston. judging from his stirring performance and the standing ovation given to him by the Balcony, Bob is not very far from chan ring his address to Carnegie Hall or Lincoln Center. Tt seems that Bob has already had yeamings for this life for he has taken on an art- ist's demeanor, mustache and all. He not only per- forms well in music but is also an authority on the historical and technical aspects of the Baroque and Rococo Periods. Humbie has not just limited his five years here at Wilbraham to one field, though. Before the advent of games Law he was considered the kingpin academical- of the Class of '68 Bob has also become an astute german scholar under the tutelage of Herr Ats, Herr Ormandy, and the redoubtable Doc Beaker.

To him NVilhraham presented a stimulus for much thought, his mind was often miles away and in his eyes one could see a look of distance. He often grew frustrated when channels for release clogged. His room reflected his creativity, a maze of blankets, mat- tresses, and drawings divided the haven into separate and unique compartments. Here he spent much of his time, for on this inner side of the door Wilbraharn floated away and imagination reigned, which is proba- bly why there was a lock on the door. Outside, in the world of 'icommunity living , Mike's major interest was wrestling. He devoted himself com- pletely to the sport and as a result he helped lead the team to a winning season. He was honest, and was nev- er afraid to say what he thought, He chose his friends carefully, and among them he was respected and well- liked. Beyond VVilbraham there lie many roads. His is still hazy, but whichever he takes, it will be the one he believes in. 'I is 5? is , . 4 .S xjeii , if ,Y . , W. ,- Q -h -' E. 515 . A . 4 si sf Q--M---if K . .

His cutting humor and relaxed at- titudes told of a person not easily influenced, but dee ly concerned with what he saw around him, both, in and out of school. He worried about a lot of things, and because of this he was always pushing himself, in football, in tennis, and in the things that did not come as easily, but which he counted as 'ust as important.

He skied well during the winter and packed up his bags and headed south during the spring. He never bothered with the tales because to him they were just every- day occurance.

It seemed like everything was going against the Lip until Mr. Kelley intervened. Disgusting.U And who could forget the annual Christmas party for the freshmen when F einer did not show up? Mag used a whole tube of Groom and Clean for this memo- rable affair. As usual, Jack tried to milk', the coke machine for a few of his favorite frosh, only to have his hand impaled on a bottle. The show wouldn't have been complete, however, without the unique perfor- mance of the one and only Roy Shapiro singing some of his favorite tunes of yesteryear. Then, before we knew it, Spring, with all its lazi- ness, was upon us. Iacobs had stopped talking about Midge, and Marc was his new subject of discussion. Commander was up to three packs of Camels a day, and Murray was up to two bottles of peroxide a day. There was talk of having a class party at Rude Scene's house, again. No one seemed to be making his 8 o'clock class anymore, or even his 10 o'clock class. In fact, the inhabitants of many rooms seemed to be taking a few too many Head's Holidays. X , 80 The firecrackers were going off at a constant rate of two per night now. Someone saw a cab driver roam- ing around-that looked mighty suspicious, but nothing could be proved. Mrs. Matteo was getting bigger by the minute, and there were bets being made on what,' it was going to be. Mr. Matteo woke up one morning to find his car neatlyf?j placed on the board track, and for a while we thought Abner would get us. Iakeis imitations were getting better all the time, and the whippings of the Animals were becoming more severe all the time. Over in Chapin, a few people were miss- ing quite a bit, and in Winchester, a few were quietly planning the assassination of their beloved master. We never did find out where the mustache disappeared to. Then before we knew it, Commencement Weekend was here. There were a few parties before the prom, and a few after. The Federal Plaza Hotel's whereabouts is now known to everyone in the class, with the excep- tion of Rudy. Many came back to school that night disappointed, only to be cheered up by Beaver and his Footlocker. Someone kept asking for Aner. Graduation morning came with a heavy head for a few, and some had to be forced out of bed, but everyone made it to the Chapel. We are now Alumni. 81 To Mr. Herney: Class Advisor Words of praise are not enough to indicate the amount of respect that the Class of 1968 has for its faculty advisor, Mr. Herney. A man dedicated to his class, Mr. Herney became the most integral part of ours. He felt this Way about VVilbraham in general and his class specifically. In my two years at NVilbraham, I feel that the most valuable experience I have had is the making of good friends. Out of the 300 students, there are, oh, probably 200 Whom I know Well. Most of those 200 I Will never see again and it saddens me terribly. The fact that through friendship I may have helped a boy become a better person is, to me, more important than What I did in the classroom. So for the last time, Mr. Herney, the Class of 1968 extends to you a final thank you, and to assure you that we will all remember you as a great friend, a remarkable individual, and one Who helped us grow as individuals. 82 I M.,,,,., aaa ,ww 84 Class SENIORS AND THEIR SONGS ADAMS: 'IKIND OF HUSHP ALEXANDER: 'KLET IT ALL HANG OUT ALTORELLO1 THEME FROM THE GREAT ESCAPE ANDERSON: HCAB DRIVER ARNOLD: STRAIGHT SHOOTERS BATHKE1 POP GOES THE XVEASELY BAYLESS: 'QSIMPLE SIMON SAYS:- BENNETT: BOTTLE OF XVINEH BRIDGE: '-GIMME SOME LOVIN, BRIGGS: MENGLAND SNVINGSI' BRIGHAM: ATM A LITTLE TEAPOTN BRYANT: USAN FRANGISGAN NIGHTS, BUGKANAGA1 TEN LITTLE INDIANS BUNGE: SOUNDS OF SILENGEI' RURNHAM: 'TM YOUR PUPPET' GARRUTHERS: 'KFROM A IACK TO A KING DAVIS: 'KSTRAWBERRY FIELDS FOREVER DEIBERT: 4-TRAINS AND BOATS AND PLANES DQPRIEST: REACH OUT DEVINE: 'ISURFER JOE DUNNING1 SIT DOWN I THINK I LOVE YOU EATON: MSOMEBODY TO LOVE EGAN: :ATHE IERKN FITTS: THE GREEN GREEN GRASS OF HOME GARGELON1 HSTRANGERS IN THE NIGHT GLAUBMAN: uIT'S MY PARTY GRAVELINE: HIM AN OLD SMOOTHIEN GRIFFIN: SPANISH ROSE HARTFORD: UENDLESS SUMMER HAUSMAN: -MR.

Plans for success next year are dependent on every member of the class, for each in his own way holds a part of the total overall image of success produced this year. Anxiously awaiting next year the junior class has not stood still and watched: it is a class full of participants, a class ready to accept the position leader of the other three underclasses, responsible in its actions. On 'The Hill', production of notable quality has been offered by many of the conscientious Juniors who sight their scopes with great ambitions on an equally successful Senior year and college years beyond.

The class of seventy is one of the most well rounded classes this school has ever had the pleasure to educate. It has shown out- standing school spirit, sports participation and academic skills. One of the most spectacular sights occurred during the fall when the school rival, Deerfield, came to match their inferior football team against VVilbraham's powerhouse. The turn out was spec- tacular and the coach made bv the class attested to our spirit. Our cheering, yelling, and screaming just capped the overwhelming 40-0 victory. In sports the class of seventy was out-done by no one. Durin the football season coach Cramer was surprised at the agility and strength of his four sophomore starters: Henry Downey, Ricky Clifton, Ned Owens and Gary Crelak. As far as soccer goes Mr. Shaw was dumbfounded by the skills of Arthur Engel, Peter Rentschler and David Bursaw. Moreover, Mr. Shaw was overheard as sayin f that the year of 1970 will be the year in which Wilbra- ham will be first all around. Academically the sophomore class is well represented. Honor students, which are in abundance, include Bob McEvitt, Paul Hel- ler and Clifford Cordon. Leadership is also among the qualities of this class. It is a shame that there are not forty spots on the Community Council for if there were they would be lilled with no delay with some of the most brilliant students this school has ever seen. These are 'ust a few of the ualities in which this class will go down in Wilbraham for and lllue remembered years after it has moved on to a successful life. 90 3 Q. 91 The Freshman year at VVilbraham is a difficult one. As young boys we were surrounded with new situations and generally a new way of life. During the first weeks of our VVilbraham experience we found adjustment difficult if not impossible. Many of us never fully adjusted to thc expectations of our senior monitors and floor masters. In fact. many of the rules of the past were not enforced on this year's class. making the adjustment more diflicult. Probably the rule that added more responsibility to the members of the class than any other was the retraction of freshman study in Founders' Hall. Previously all frosh had to abide by this practice. In past years, though, most freshmen were honor students, but this year only a few boys were willing to put in the extra effort that the honor role requires. These were: Ted Schlette, Stephen Strella. Doug Hannah, Howard Sohn, and Kel Tyler. Although freshmen were not scholastic leaders they par- ticipated tremendously in the community. The so-called school spirit that was present in most XVilbrahamites didn't catch on until the latter part of the fall term. That school spiritl' and the sense of belonging that is so important during the first year away from home reached its peak at the Sullield game when we discarded our bow ties to a 40-0 victory by our varsity football team. Adapting to Wilbraham life was not easy. The recreations of home were not present. but freshmen with their ingenuity triumphed over most situations by scheduling corridor soccer games, group hypnosis sessions, mass chapel boycotts, and. finally. the Freshmen Rules Interpretation Committee. The class succeeded in finishing the year in near-sanity. Not so lucky were our two Hoor masters and their cronies: the three, formerly four, monitors of Rich Hall IV. But this Freshman Class was also a questioning one at NVil- brahain. VVe questioned much of Wilbrahain life and life in times? And finally the turbulating trios' tCebelein, Lagin, and Iacobsonl resounding cry. Why can't we take eight showers a day and Who's going to stop us anyway? Although the underclassman's life is not easy, most of them did not get much of a chance to tire of Wlilbrahain life. thanks to the hard-driving training of Mr. Burger. who coached the Reserve Football Team. Made up almost entirely of freshmen this year. the team was in fact led by freshmen: co-captains Mike Cebelein and john Hine. Other outstanding freshmen football players were Full Back Rob Ritter, Centers Phil Frank and Todd Kirtland. and Quarter Rack Ralph Carman. Although the team record wasnt the best we could have hoped for. we did gain immeasurahly from Coach Burger's leadership. In soccer freshmen power was present on the IV team in the forms of Mark Darlington and Lek Krairiksh. And the re- serve team could boast of Scott .Xrinstrong and high scorer. Kel Tyler. Freshmen also helped to strengthen winter sports this year with Mark Darlington gaining a well-earned varsity letter on the swimming team and john lline. Rob Sills and Mike Cebelein on the 'IV wrestling team. Mr. lIerney's reserve basketball team was also generated by frosh power just as Mr. Kenncdy's reserve baseball team was this spring. On the IV baseball team freshman second baseman. Steve Lagin, was a usual starter. The track coaches also received their taste of the fourth floor athletic prowess in the abilities of Mark Dar- lington and Kel Tyler. Howie USuper Sohu also made himself known as a prospective varsity tennis player for next year on this year's JV team. In extracurricular activities freshman participation was present. .-Xt the beginning of this year the complete class voted for a Community Council representativeg Steve Lagin was chosen.

VVhen Christmas recess began, though, the organization was firmly settled, having just elected its officers for the year 1967-1968. jeffrey Mullen and Ward Dunning assumed the responsibilities of President and Vice- President respectively. The other senior officer was David Keith who was awarded the arduous and unsung job of Secretary. David Pinney was elected Vice-President for the junior class. With its established leadership, the council began to work for some concrete results from its plans. Ever since the first meeting, the subject of class cuts was foremost in the minds of the council members. David Keith first brought up the subject, perhaps with some feelings of benevolence for his roommate, Rob Carruthers. With the acknow- ledgement of the headmaster, a committee was formed to investigate the possibili- ties of establishing a class cut system in this school. Jeff Mullen undertook to write to several prepl schools and colleges to acquire a foundation of information on the topic. After w at seemed like an eternity, a proposal was made to the faculty, late in the winter. It was not until early March that the faculty and representatives of the student body worked out a final plan, and the system took effect after the first week in A ril. There allways has been considerable skepticism about the Community Council, as to what exactly its purpose is. The council is a vital means of communication between the students of this school and the facult . Representatives should be elected according to their imagination and ingenuity. This is what the council always must have to function properly and effectively. There should not be neccessarily a dogged following of the overbearing faculty leadership, nor should there be a renegade spirit of foot-loose libertines, plotting vengeance on their elders. A little of both is best. Perhaps it is best to say that the council is, in fact, a cross section of student ideas, characters, personalities, and spirits.

Billows of smoke shrouded the obscure H fures huddled seated at a small table. Papers were strewn everywhere and the smeajl of stale cigarettes stung my nostrils. When the smoke began to clear from the draft of the open door, the forms took shape and I could begin to recognize faces. Mr. Wolter sat, very pensive, his legs crossed, staring into nowhere . . . and farther. A cigarette was pinched between his fingers, burning unnoticed. To his right was Dick Heus, an associate editor. He was gesturing in the air with his thick hands, arguing about some pcoint in ques- tion. Sam Topp was seated behind Dick, reasoning, creatinfg, thin ing, vibrant. Chuck Arnold was bent over a notebook resting on the chaos o the table, scribbling notes furiously. Joe Kremer was behind Chucik, sketching some nebulous form to take shape later. Ieif Mullen sat to Chuck Arnoldis right, toying with several sheets of typed articles, concentrating on what Heus was saying. Dave Reed sat, head in hand, with a massive pile of paper stock in his lap. Heus was still speaking: . . . but to sustain interest, an overall interest, you gotta have a theme for the whole issue. Thatis all there is to it. Mr. Wolter spoke. He,s rightf then quickly, Do you think he's rightiw O.K. Even if this is our answer, and it may be, we need something that we can get substantial copy on . . Mullen argued. I turned around and walked out, excusing myself for the interruption. My eyes were burning from the stuffy, smoke-filled room, I coughed, My nose was burning too. And besides, I think that too much thought is not good for the average, typical, day-by-day meandering. Although conversely, and this is key, not enough thought will never produce an effective, purposeful event. There was, there was At as, for the one hundred and fiftieth graduating class. And 151, 152, and even 153. Good luck. 98 tudent Project It was a new kind of Student Project that the 1967-68 school year saw. In the past the definition of the Project has been to aid uinternational education. This yearis board has expanded this definition to aiding education on the international. national, and local levels. This year's Project board also set their monetary goal at a new high: 311000. Although a bold move, the goal was exceeded by one thousand dollars. This year Milan Zivkovic. from Yugoslavia, was brought to Wfilbraham on a Stu- dent Project scholarship. Larry Brannen, from Brooklyn, finished his third year as a Student Project boy and will be returning next year as a senior. Rick Buckanaga will be graduating after two years as a Project boy. Rex Alexander is finishing his fourth year at VVilbraham. Rex has done a great job in all of his four years here. In keeping with the changed emgqhasis in the Project, various things occurred on campus as a result of our underta ing. The Colloquium in Novem Jer, in which everyone in the school took part, was a highpoint in the year. A good number of boys took part in the tutoring program organized by the Northern Educational Services. This program has been a success and will continue to be so. Many things happened because of the Student Project this year. Next year should also prove to be eventful. It is hoped that will be continued. Another Col- loquium, hopefully better than the first, is in the making. In addition to Larry Brannenis return, a boy from Springfield will be given a scholarship. And, finally, it is planned that a boy from Sweden will be brought to VVilbraha1n for his senior vear. I The Project owes debts to many who have given their time and ability. Spe- cifically, Mr. Herney has been as fine a Facility Advisor as one could wish to find. But it should not be forgotten that the Student Project is unique because the stu- dents at Wfilbrahain have always been the chief motivating force. As lonj as this is the case, the Project can grow and continue to be an important part of education at XVilbral1am.

The familiar setting of Founders Boom in Fisk Hall provided the scene for the Dramatics Clubis autumn presentation of The Unexpected Guest, a popular mystery by Agatha Christie. A tale of murder and suspense, the play was quite a test for Director Arthur Kelley and the Academy cast. The heavy atmosphere of a murder mystery is a difficult one to achieve. However, through the guidance of Director Kelley and the dedication of the club, disastrous setbacks werezavoided. The Jlot of the story dealt with the murder of Richard WVarwick, the crippled head of a house in Bristol, England. The suspense mounted as the search for the murderer exposed the inner secrets of the inhabitants in the VVarwick house, and the terrifying climax left the audience in a breathless awe. Dynamic in his greatest erformance on the Academy stage, Don Sultan was superb as Michael Starkwedzflyer, the revengeful father who deceived all in order to achieve his criminally selfish desires. Janet Morgan turned in another fine per- formance as Laura Warwick, a woman with a love for another man. As Inspector Thomas, Hugh Briggi made an outstanding debut on Founders Day weekend. In the spirit of Sherloc Holmes, became the inquisitive detective with an eye on each suspect. In her most demanding role, Edie Gray characterized Mrs. Wfar- wick, the deceased mother, in fine fashion. Edie had to become the hoarse-speaking old lady who knew less than she thought she did. Always a familiar face, Mike VVright outdid himself as Iulian Farrar, Laurais lover and politician, who finds him- self in the delicate situation of being the lover of the wife of a murdered man. Hence, Julian is torn between the possible ruin of his career and his love. Ford Dab- ney was at his best as Angel, the gardener. Playing his role to near perfection, Ford portrayed a deceitful, untrustworthy servant and was considered by many to be the chief suspect in the play. jeff Mullen drew many laughs as Ian Warwick, the mentally retarded step-brother with murder on his mind. Suzanne Shirley and Darius Mojallali rounded out the cast as Benny and Sergeant Cadwalladefr, re- spectively. Sue performed very nicely in a highly dramatic scene in which she taunted Ian into confessing to the mur er. And Darius provided a few light moments as the bumbling sergeant, forever writing poetry but doing little else. Unheralded in their efforts behind the stage, Dick Heus deserves a standing ova- tion for his organization of a magnificent set as does Gerry Murray for his leader- ship of the set's constmction. And Keith Eaton merits an applause in the same man- ner for his excellent work with the lighting and sound effects. 101 Gold Key This year the Cold Key Organization, under the inimitable leadership of Roger Massell, Neil Rattan. and Chuck Arnold. continued to carry out the duties which it undertook several years ago, The Cold Key is one of the more unique organizations on campus. Aside from occasional consultations with its faculty advisor, Mr. Shepperd, the duties of the Gold Key are fulfilled by the officers and members. As it has demonstrated its re- liability, its sense of responsibility. and its ability to produce a tme image of the school for any visitors, its stature with both the guests of the school and Wilbraham students has increased. The primary purpose of the Cold Key is to give guests of the school-Whether they be alumni. prospective students, or visiting teams-any assistance which they might need while on campus, to give them arpicture of what this school is: its heritage. its purpose, its goals for the future. Testaments to the rise in stature of the Gold Key, despite its youth, are plentiful. lt has been given the responsibility of giving potential students a view of XVilbraham from the point of view of one Who understands what they are looking for in a school. lt has been entrusted With serving, along with the faculty Wives, at re- ceptions for the athletic events which take placerhere at school. The single most important moment for the Cold Key, however, was the buffet dinner at which the Gold Key was requested to serve, as it did last year. XVhile the Cold Key is an example of XVilbraham to guests, it is also interesting, constructive work requiring a great deal of time and dedication on the part of those who wish to help the school. At the XVinter Term Dinner, those who had demonstrated their interest and ability gained permanent membership status, In addition, the officers for next vears, Cold Key were named. To next years' iresident David Pinney, vice-president David Kent, and secretary Andy Paull. falls tfie responsibility of continuing the policies of the Gold Key.

The Student Service Association was founded about five years ago by a group of boys who felt that they should do something extra for the people in need in the Wlilbraham area. Since the founding, the Associationls membership had slowly dwindled. That is, until this year. Recently, more boys have become interested in helping out in establishments Where they are needed. This year the Association was headed by Ed Hudelsong its faculty advisor Was Mr. John Kennedy. Under the leadership of these two, the volunteers started Work- ing much sooner than they ever had in the past. As usual most boys Wanted to Work at Wesson Memorial Hospital. Dennis Marshall, Dave Pinney, john Magnello, john Steinau, Pete Wilson, Bill Codek, Steve Krevalin, and Ed Hudelson all offered their services to the hospital. Other places Where boys work are the South End Community Center in Springfield and the Y.M.C.A. Most of the boys found great satisfaction in helping others less fortunate than themselves. Next year, the Association's presidency changes hands and Dennis Marshall will take the reins to try to make the Student Service Association the best extracur- ricular organization on campus. 105 Dance Committee Roger Linscott Mike Wright Lance Hartford Mike Devine Roger Massell Ty Rodgers Ed Schene Tom Pournaras 106 Six olly Coachmen The Six jolly Coachmen gave Wilbraham the spirit it needed to complete one of the best years for sports the school has experienced. During the fall there were numerous rallies on the board track. These included bonfires, skits, pep talks by the coaches and captains, and an eventful dummy Qportrayed by Bud Altobelloj which on a couple of occasions almost made it to the fire. Early in the year, the Coachmen expanded to the Six Iolly Coachmen Plus Two. The additions of jeff Jacobs and Marc Kelley gave the showmen added personnel and character. Sam Topp took on the honors of being The jolly Coachinan, Qjiminey Cricketj. At the games the leaders lead all the way with cheerleading and successful pyramids which further marked them as professionals in their own right.

The first meeting in September began with the electing of the club officers. They are: Dick Stammers, presidentg Roger Linscott, vice presidentg and Howard McGarity, treasurer. The Scuba Club offers to teach interested students the basics of diving. Trips to various lakes are also planned to give the new diver a chance to dive in open water, which he finds is quite different from an enclosed pool. This spring, a group of boys went to Bermuda for a chance to dive in a clearer and more interesting area than that typically found in northern waters. Later in the spring, dives are planned to Spec Pond, the favorite haunt of the Aquamen. Other areas near school are frequented by the club when arrangements can be made. 109 Mathletes Pavg Rubeng Ranbomg Law, Seligg Wenderg Penn: Peters. The Mathletes this year have another strong team. Under the direction of Mr. Marsian, they are hoping to improve on their second place finish last year. joining the two returning starters from last year's team, jim Law and Lanning Penn, are lim Ruben and john Peters. Dave WVender, WVayne Ranbom and Robert Humberston alternate at the other starting position. In the first meet this fall at Chicopee High School, the Wilbraham Mathletes scored ten points to capture first place. The closest opponent was Longmeadow High Schoo, first last year, one point behind in second place. The I'6St of the league's 18 teams were further behind. The Mathletes were not so successful in the second meet, held at Cathedral High School on December 5, coming in second, three points behind Longmeadow High School. This setback pushed VVilbraham down to second place in the over- all standings also, two points behind first lace Longmeadow High School which had nineteen points, but live points aheadpof third place Chicopee High School. In the individual competition a Wilbraham Mathlete, jim Law, is currently tied for first in the lea fue with two students from Longrnpleadow High School, Mark Leeper and Scott grown, with seven points apiece. e Mathletes hope to make up the two-point deficit during the other three meets this year, being held on january 30, March 5, and April 30 at Longmeadow High School, Monson High School and Westfield High School respectively. 110 I9 OPO First Row: Jacobson, M. fEditorial Advisorjg Hudelson CSports Editorjg Iacobs, Editorjg Rattang Brighamg Andersong Pollack, fPhotography Editgl-jg Cun- I. fLayout Editorjg Weiss fEdit0r-in-Chiefjg Pournaras CManaging Editorjg ninghamg Lewis fTechnical Assistantjg Eatong Powellg Burnham fBusine5s Man Stammers fFeature Editorj.

Ever since the undefeated team of 1959-60, we have failed to field a winning team. NVinning football has spent seven long seasons on other teams' cam- puses. But despite the 3-4 record of the 1967- 1968 Varsity Football team, there is the light of the future. lf nothing else, the 150th graduating class hands its school the promise that football is on the way back home, home to NVilbraham. On defense, Co-captains Barry Egan and Tim Murphy ran a team that was unscored upon in its last four games. Backed by junior Ford Dabney, Gerry Murray, Ty Rodgers and Dave Heed, the de- fense gave up fewer points than any team since 1959. On offense, Bob Bridge quarterbacked a team that moved incredibly well in the air and on the ground. Horner Fitts and uPuffy Mason dug out the ground yardage whenever they were called upon. Fitts made All-New England and Mason, who will be returning next year, will undoubtedly make the team. ln the air it was Bridge to the M 351 M boys: Marshall and Magnello. If one was covered, then Bridge always found the other one open. Between these boys and the toughest line in the last five years, the offense rolled up more points than the defense let in fthe score was 93-Slj, a feat not accomplished since 1959.

A good half and a bad half found VVilbraham on the losing end of its opening game with Loomis, 6-18. Tim Murphy ran up the only score as Ty Rodgers had his last- second score called back on a penalty. At Cushing the Coachmen met with disaster. The undefeated team of Cushing ran over NVilbraham 14-34. Vaughan Mason and Doug Fitts scored, but it was to no avail as the defense broke for the only time during the season. Then it was on to Taft, a team which NVilbraham has never beaten. Taft expected an easy day from the smaller YVilbraham team. But Dennis Marshall scored on two long touchdowns and forced Taft to sweat a little before they finally managed to pull out a victory. 1-1-22. Barry Egan, who keyed on the all New England halfback of Taft, held him scoreless all day. lt was one of Barrvs finest days. And then. when the Coachmen arrived at Cran- well. things started to jell. Maybe it was the new defense which was to go unscored upon for the rest of the year. Maybe it was that pair of gaudy white shoes which symbolized a new beginning of a team that had taken its share of being pushed around. Now the Coachmen started pushing. Vaughan Mason pushed his way across the goal line for the winning score and the first victory of the year, 6-0. The next game was home with Lenox. Doug Fitts averaged over eight yards a carry and ran almost two hundred yards in the day. Bob Bridge and John Niag- nello connected for nine passes and almost two hun- dred yards. Harry Egan and Tim Murphy and Co. gave up less than a hundred yards. Lenox never penetrated the thirtyg XVilbraham fumbled three times within the five yard line. In all we turned over the hall six times, and the last time it was in our end zone. That fumble cost us a rather heartbreaking 6-T loss. Q And then came the second season: NVilliston. They came riding over the hill just as cocky as ever. They figured size. ability and brute strength made up the game of football. But they forgot to bring along the one thing that every team must possess if it is going to be a winner: guts. They had everything and we, it seemed. had nothing. But we had the guts and the heart. and when you size something up to those quali- ties, it really doesnt weigh that heavily. NVe stopped them twice on our goal line. Bridge hit Magnello with a 60-yard bomb in the fourth quarter, but a clipping penalty brought it back. Then it happened. A super- star safety named Ford Dabney stepped out of no- where to pick off a NVilliston pass. Paul Hausman, Niel Rattan, Barry Egan and David Reed plowed over the remaining man in the way, and Dabney went sixty-eight yards for the touchdown. Vaughan Mason scored two extra points and the giants of NVilliston fell with a crash to the smaller Coachmen. The final score read like a neon sign on the overcast Corbin Field: S-O. NVe had won the second season. The season ended with the Suffield game. Soccer had lostg it was necessary to win in order to draw even in the match points for the cup. Ford Dabney took the opening kickoff and went eighty-five yards for a touchdown. Dennis Marshall caught a thirty- yard pass for another touchdown. Rex Alexander took the ball forty yards in two plays for another score. John Magnello then scored two more touchdowns on a handful of passes. Then it was time for the half. The score was 34-0. Out of the goodness of Coach Paul C1't1IH61'.S heart, the l.V.'s were sent in. They held Suffield scoreless until late in the fourth quarter. The Varsity went in for their last few minutes of play. Vaughan Mason swept the left end for seventy-two yards and the final score. yVhen we left the field, we felt we had accomplished something. As a memorandum of the last two games of the season, a cup has been placed in the trophy case with the scores and the year of the victories. Any team beating both VVilliston and Suffield in the same year will find their year under the dates of the 1967-1968 Varsity football team. NVe did not hand the school the winning record that we would have liked to, but in a way we handed something just as valuable. XVe showed what could be the turning point in yVilbraham football. It is only a start. The rest is up to the up- coming football players, and the support they receive from the school. z V P . ,, , Q I 116 if , M A , ,.., , f Y Q an , i vm. .

Adam Korabowski. Hugh Briggs It is traditional for each departing senior class to take with it the most experienced and effective soccer players. This yearly exodus leaves Mr. Shaw with the unenviable role of forming a new club primarily out of players. This is not to say that the l.V. team is not good. However. there is an amazing difference in the caliber of play between the varsity and junior varsity levels. Still. with the long practices and wise coaching from Messrs. Shaw and Penalver. NVilbraham was able to produce a soccer team that could do battle with any other prep school team. As is our custom. the season started with Cushing. The unfamiliar Cushing field did nothing to aid the Coachmen, but they played a fine game. Since this was the first game, there were a great many mistakes. but sophomore Dave Bursaw's goal proved to be all the Coachmen needed as they defeated Cushing. 1-0. The next game was played against a powerful Choate team. Still a nervous and nncohesive club. we played well. but it was to no avail as Choate won by a score of 2-1. XVindsor, Connecticut. was the scene for the first and last free-for-all. The playing here was .Xndy Malcolm. Dick Bunce, Row 3g Nlilcs lohnson. Peter Rcntschlcr. Nlilan Zivcovic. Terry Low.

The game ended in a U-U tie. NVorcester Academy p1'ovided the Coachmen with an easy win. The game began as an even con- test. but under the i'elentless pressure of Milan Zivkovic. who tallied twice. and Andy Malcolm, who scored once. the Wlorcester team fell apart and was demolished, 4-O. Deerfield Academy was the scene of a heartbreak- ing loss for the Coachmen. As in the game with Choate. the Coachmen played poorly for the first half of the contest. The field at Deerfield was wet and slippery, the weather humid. During halftime, however. Mr. Shaw managed to pull the team to- gether and tried to spark the team on to victory. Kirk Adams tallied at the end of the third quarter, and our spirits rose. The fourth quarter saw the Coachmen take shot after shot, but to no avail. The 2-l lead that Deerfield had attained during the first half could not be overcome. From there the team went to Monson where the Coachmen handily defeated the o Jposition 5-0, lim Hyfantis tallied twice, his first well earned scores of the year. Milan added two more to his tally and Andy Malcolm scored for the fifth and final goal. The game was characterized hy good passing, es- pecially by Hyfantis whose text-book pass to Milan put the game on ice. The best and most frustrating encounter of the season was without a doubt that with XVilliston. The Coachmen found themselves ahead 1-0 at the end of the first quarter, and our hopes for our first victory, in three years, over Nlfilliston began to rise. In the second quarter, however, the hosts came to life and retaliated with two goals. The fourth quarter saw the Coachinen struggle unsuccessfully to tie the game. Three heads by Iim Hyfantis found themselves in open arms of the goalie. The final score was YVil- liston 2, YVilbraham l. Depression set in after the NVilliston game. and Pomfret and Windsor Mountain found themselves plaving a disspirited XVilbraham team. This lack of enthusiasm cost the Coachmen two more games by the scores of 2-l and S3-l. Spirits once more arose for thc Kingswood game. Here the team was able to call the 3-2 win well earned, for without outstanding defensive work by fullbacks Lance Hartford, Sandy Bayless, and goalie Miles Iohnson, the game might have been easily lost. As usual the Suffield game was well played. The keyed up Coachmen drew first blood with Andy Malcolm scoring about ten seconds after the game's beginning. Then Suffield and its African Pele came back. Thomas, the Cambian, proceeded to shoot four goals past the goal line and into the nets. Late in tie game Malcolm again scored. but that was not enough. Suffield, the XV.N.E.P.S.S.:X. champs, won the game by the score of 4-2. Perhaps the most distinguished award an athlete can win at XVilbraham is the Most Valuable Player award for his particular sport. This year the well deserved award went to Lance Hartford. Each one of us appreciated the fine defensive playing and the leadership he provided Calong with Kirk Adams? as captain of the team. There is the 1967 Wilbraham soccer season: the good, the bad, the experiences we had and those we wished we never had, the companionship and the dissention we created for ourselves, the thanks We have given to Mr. Shaw and Mr. Penalver, the players weve seen, Bunce, Arnold, Hudelson.

Football team completed a successful season under the guiding hands of coaches Mr. Buschmann and Mr. Hawk. The team, responding to the coaches' preachings of hard hitting, fashioned a record of two wins, two ties, and one loss. The first opponent was Deerfield. Wlilbraham led after three quarters 28-12, but Deerfieldis depth showed in the fourth quarter. The Greenies scored twice, escaping with a 28-28 tie. Outstanding performances were turned in by Rick Clifton, Roger Wallace, and Bob Gould. Next, came a disastrous loss to a varsity-studded Willis- ton team. But the Coachmen wouldn't quit. Mount Her- man was coming up. Playing like a Well-disciplined machine, the team turned in one of the most impressive victories ever seen on the Main Street Field. A Wilson-to-Sowers bomb started the rout. The final tally showed VVilbraham on top 36-6. This was the offenses show-the Loomis game would be the defense's. The Loomis game proved to be the toughest of the year. The Coachmen took a 6-0 lead into the half. Loomis was going nowhere against the rugged red line. In the second half Loomis cashed in on a fumble to tie it up. Two more times after this Loomis got inside the five yard line, but the stiff defense wouldn't give up. Three times Loomis smashed at the middle of the line, and three times they were repelled. The result was a 6-6 tie. Outstanding were 'Bubba' Grant, R. Stone, Mark Gantman, Marty Eramo, and Ken Roberts. Rival Suffield was next in line. 122 Qs.- In this final contest with Suffield, the I.V.'s. showed that they had become a good football team. Completely dominat- ing the game statistically, Wilbrahain never let Suffield in the game. The final count was 12-8. The season was over. It had been three months of hard work in which each boy learned something about the game and about himself. VVhen this happens, the season can only be determined a success. fx. rp s f'W1lbr?ham .

Leaning, proved its merit as the most successful team during the fall season, winning five games, tying two games, and losing only two games. The first few games were played with little experience and unity, but as the middle of the season approached the player positions became adjusted and a sense of teamwork developed. The four players from Thailand were well suited to their positions, but for each position there were two players, or more, of equal skill, the competition enlivened the desire to excel and the desire to become part of the unit. However, the greatest scoring power was shown by Co-Captain Varanyuwatana and Aracano, the de- fense was dominated by the fullbacks Mutrie, Mcflarity, and Bathke, and the goalie, Co-Captain Andy Spear. The halibacks-Wells, Willey, Lek, and Vianney-were extremely versatile and scored several goals, WVells also played center-forward. The spirit of the team increased until the second to the last game when the greatest proficiency was shown. The 3-3 tie, the rain, and the injuries did not stop the team from dominating Williston. Playing equally well, Wilbraham ended its season with a win. 124 K . ' 'j.V..Soccei3 .

The team was sparked by the outstanding broken field running of Bob Ritter. He, along with co-captains john Hine and Mike Cebelein, formed the nucleus of the squad which consisted mainly of freshmen. The team started the season with an impressive lfi-6 win over Monson. However, from that pinnacle, the sea- son went downhill. Though every boy on the squad im- proved, the team went through the rest of the season win- less. The team was greatly hurt when starting quarterback Steve Lagin broke his arm before the first game and did not finish the remainder of the season. The team never recuperated. The powerful runners found it difhcult to maneuver behind an inexperienced offensive line. Thus the offense did not supply the stingy defense with enough points to win another game. However, the members of the squad still showed much enthusiasm, even while riding the bench. The desire of the team to win could not go unnoticed. Though the team never quite realized its potential, all was not lost: the experience gained playing under the able coaching of Mr. Burger and Mr. Clarke benefited every member of the team. , ' 2 R ...T ..rr. if if fjff - . ffz' V 'lilffilf'i if flfll T T R if sst R - . . s fsf.

The record was 12-4 and there were many highlights during the season. The team participated in the Kingswood Invitational Tournament, and although losing twice, played extremely well. Dennis Marshall and Tim Murphy played so well that they were chosen for the all-tournament team. Another highlight long to be remembered was the 96 points scored against Winchendon which broke the school record. Also, the team scored more points than any other team in VVilbraham history. Marshall and Murphy tied the school record for the most points in a single season, with Doug Fitts close behind. The first game of the year saw the Coachmen lose a one-point heartbreaker to Pomfret. The team played well with fine efforts turned in by Peter Wilson and Marshall. After that loss, however, the team rattled off eight straight victories. St. Marks and Watkinson were easy victories, even the K'Demo Teamn played. The next two games were away against NVilliston and Loomis. Against Loomis, Doug Fitts led the scoring parade to an easy victory. Next came VVilliston, a team that had always given us trouble. This game was an excep- tion, however, as Tim Murphy threw in 12 points in the first quarter to lead the team on to victory. An easy game with Lenox followed in preparation for the battle against Suffield. With school spirit at a fever pitch, the Coachmen demonstrated teamwork that will never be forgotten at Wilbraham. In a battle to the wire, the Coach- men won one of the biggest victories ever. Following the Suffield game, an over confident team took the court against Hopkins Grammar, and, after a shaky start, managed to pull out the victory. After the Student Project break, the team played a very strong Choate quintet. The Coachmen tried to keep up the run-and gun style, but were unable to overcome the opponents height and speed. Mon- son was once again handily defeated, the DN team played well. A night game with Assumption fol- lowed, the score was very close all the way. The team scrapped and hustled, but the shots just wouldnlt fall in as Assumption won by a few points. Dwight VViest, the sixth man, played an excellent game. The team then travelled to Suffield to try to gain another victory toward the Freshman Cup. The Coachmen couldn't repeat their initial win, how- ever, and the team fell to its fourth defeat. Windsor Mountain, Winchendon and Avon were all beaten with relative ease. Windsor Mountain threw a couple of 6' 9 scares into the team, but with Ford Dabney and Dennis Marshall playing be- fore a hometown crowd, the team managed to win. VVinchendon and Avon fell even more easily, and the Coachmen completed their 12-4 record. Despite losing starters Fitts, Murphy and VVilson, plus most of the bench-Wiest, Rosen, Schill, Hudel- son, Naumes and Buckanaga-the team has bright hopes for the future. With captain Dennis Mar- shall, Ford Dabney and Brian Marsden returning, plus a host of promising players up from the V. team, the ball should be dropping through the hoop for a long time to come at Wilbraham Academy. 7 VarS't Basketball Yo VVilb1'a.ham NVilbraham Willurahaxn Wilbraham W Ilbraham Wilbraham VVilbIaham Wilbraham Wilbraham Wilbraham Wilbraham Wilbraham Wilbraham Wilbraham Wilbraham Vlfilbraham 1 V 63 Pomfret ' 64 St. Marks, 78 VVatkinson 88 Monson 76 Loomis 70 VVillisto11 1 75 Lenox ' 'A 72 Suffield 57 Hopkins Grammar 69 Choate 7 85 Monson 71 -Assum tion 77 Suffielmlill 1 68 Windsor Mt. 96 oWi11chendon 89 Avon 7 7 130 2 W:-za-W-ggg,nw,-f-'f E , ff MMP f w i1bfaham Moxisons 1651 Wi1bIQhamQ 'N CliShing' f19 Wilbraham 1130 DatroW ,1,',,, X, V J Wrestling ,Wilbrahauq ML YHE1'!I1lOi'k, 3 Wilbrahan1 21 Suffield YNilb1'aha1p XVinChendou 1 W9r9SSF?f -Wilbrahfim , P QmfrCf JJ 5 f 3 ,,J,L,, Qvvvw-wawMmmwM.M,W,w.

This yearis team broke six records, led by, the team's captains Mark Riley and Mike Devine. Devine and Riley hel ed break the two-hundred-yard medley rela , anclp the four- hundred-yard freestyle relay, and, broke two of their own records as well: Devine in the one- hundred-yard butterfly and Riley in the fifty-yard freestyle. Other records were broken by McEvitt in the backstroke, jim Paul in diving, Cowrie in the two relays, and Kellet in the four-hundred-yard freestyle relay. The first team Wilbraham met was Worcester, they were stronger than we were and they beat us by a score of 37-58. The next team we met was Avon, who also were stronger than we were. They beat us by S33 points, 31-64. The next three teams to swim us were Mt. Hermon, Trinity Col- lege Freshmen, and Deerfield I.V. All three meets proved to be tough breaks for the swimming team, or in all three the opponents beat the VVil Jraham team on the last relay. The respective scores were 45-49, 44-51, and 43-52. Coach Gibson and the team did not give up, the Wilbraham team was ready to meet the Suf- field team at their new pool. At Suffield, Bruce Canade broke the pool record for the one-hundred- yard butterfly and a WVilbraham four-hundred-yard medley relay team also broke Suffieldis pool rec-- ord. This started the Wilbraham team on to a line finish from a slow start. Cheshire, a new opponent this year, was sur- prised to see a strong team at Wilbraham. The swimming team rallied and beat Cheshire by a score of 56-39. Moses Brown was the next team to swim Wilbraham, they were defeated by the Wilbraham team by a score of 56-539 also. The last meet of the season was against West- minster. At Westminster, the Wilbraham team was missing-1 one of their captains, Mark Riley. All throng the meet the score was close. Then Devine gave all he could in the butterfly and broke the school record and sparked the team to overcome Westminster, 52-43. Next year's team, says Coach Gibson, looks pretty good, Mark Riley and Mike Devine are the only two people who are not returning next year. Even without these two swimmers, the swimming team looks bright. Returning lettermen are Kellet, Cow- rie, Pollack, S., Canade, and McCarity, all seniors next year. Other hopefuls are McEvitt, Paul, and Darlington. Next year's season should be one of the swimming team's best.

Despite the fact that the oppos- ing team was much bigger and possibly more talented individually, the Wilbraham I.V. basketball team had won again. Coach Kud- rick left the floor smiling. Twelve times this past season he had reason to smile. After losing the opening game to Pomfret, the team began a nine-game Winning streak. Archrivals Suffield and Williston were among the victims. Also bowing to the Wilbraham Squad was an- nual powerhouse Choate. This was one of the most satisfying games for Mr. Kudrick: the team won by Neil Harringtonis bucket with ten seconds left. A loss to Assumption ended the winning streak, but the team bounced back to take the last three games for a sparkling twelve and two record. Hard work by the coach and the team was the reason for the successful season. The team had no individual star, but worked as a unit. It is hoped that some of the players of this squad will graduate to the varsity next year and continue their winning Ways. If hard work is the key to winning, Wilbraham's basketball future looks very bright.

Barrin snow storms, the team could be seen out on tie board track shoveling and, with time, practicing. Mr. Shaw and Mr. Brown were always there with shovel in one hand and stop watch in the other. Under their guidance the team developed into a tight unit which fared well in its three dual meets. The first meet, however, was a disappoint- ment. NVilbraham lost to a strong Tabor team by one point. Their second meet against Deer- field turned out much better. Everyone tried his hardest and the result showed in the score. After Deerfield, the team went to Moses Browns New England Prep School Interscholastic Championships, where they did fairly well. The third and final meet resulted in a smashing vic- tory over the Williston team. Everyone on the team had worked hard to get into shape, and in this meet all the hard work showed itself in a great performance. ll a f,v. 4 .s12ae1fiaidlr,2i3 t't1i'ies tft K- fjjgr - f Co-captain Edgar Alexander was a very con- sistent oint taker in the meets. Rex had a very hard scliedule in the meets-the 40, the 300, and the 600. He showed his ability and dedication through his success in these events. Co-captain Dave Reed finished the season undefeated in the high and low hurdles. Because of his hard work, everyone on the team looked up to David Pin- ney. His work not only helped the spirit of the team, but also greatly improved his times in the 1000 and the 600. Other areas in which strength could be found were Barr Eganis and Picker- ingis performance in the shot put, Chad Pratt,s job in the hurdles, and Tim McEvoy's work in the 40 and the high jump. Winter track is in essence a training period for S ring track. Mr. Shaw could always be heardp sayin things like, Dave, you really need this work ir the long hurdles in the springl' and Be sure to work over spring vacation. As the team finished up their season and packed for spring vacation they wondered about the spring season and hoped that it would be suc- cessful. is 5. . .1 ...W M 'X K, ryllrfgla. ..., , xv ff 'tk .X .W V.

SD H VJ is Fl' A SB IIBUIQ Varsity Raseball There is an old baseball slogan that goes something like this: You win some, you lose some, and some get rained outf' Such is the story of this year's Varsity baseball team, whose record was 5-6-2. The team had fine offensive power, and had they gotten more breaks during the season, their record would have been much better. The first game of the season was at Cranwell. Wfith Larry Rosen's fine pitching performance, and big hits by Bob Bridge and Tim Murphy, the Coachmen took the game by a score of 5-2. The next game was against a weaker than usual Deerfield team. Although WVilbraham took an early lead, shoddy defense allowed Deerfield to score six unearned runs. Despite losing the game by a score of 8-5, Doug Fitts pitched extremely well, and hit a long triple as well. Williston was next on the schedule. Giving up eight walks and five unearned runs, Wfilbraham suffered its second setback, 8-3. After being rained out of two games, VVilbraharn played a weak Monson team. Doug Fitts, Ford Dabney, Tim Murphy and Dave Castleman led the hitting attack as the Coachmen trounced the opposition, 10-5. The next game was played against a strong Cushing team. In the eighth inning, with Cushing ahead by a score of 4-2, Vaughn Mason cracked a two run homer to tie the game up at 4-4. In the bottom of the eighth, however, Cushing pushed two runs across the plate, and won by a score of 6-4. A rematch with XVillist'on followed, and with the score tied up 4-4 in the last inning, Doug Fitts knocked in the winning run to end the game, 5-4, with VVilbrahain on top. Sandy Bayless started and pitched extremely well until he tired in the last inning. 147 Another rematch, this time with Monson, was next. Casey Cunningham started things off for the Coachinen with a two run shot over the left field wall. This was all that was needed for the victory, however. as Larry Rosen pitched a supreme game, allowing only one hit, and winning the game, 53-0. Lawrence and Kingswood faced the Cloachmen next. Despite an ex- cellent relief job by Doug Fitts, Law- rence eked out a 4-2 victory. Spring Day and Kingswood proved to be disaster. Three VVillJl'Lll'ltlIl1 pitchers could not stop the hits or runs that were scored. The final score was Kings- wood I3, XVilbrahain 2. Loomis visited Corbin Memorial Field next. Sandy Bayless started and pitched another fine game, only to lose by a score of 5-4. The final game of the season was played against Suffield, a game that could have decided where the Fresh- man Cup would be next year. XVilbra- ham took the lead, and behind the three-hit pitching of Larry Rosen, shut out its arch rival, 4-0. This year, five players, Fitts, Mur- phy, Dabney, Castleman and Rosen, batted over .300 for the year. And hopes are high for next year, with seven returning lettermen. ..W,MW.,.,k .W ,1 - bw , I - 1. , I 148 FQ' Y in X fi in 4 2 44- 5444544344 A Q ilh 429453'zzaz-.za-'zsagxsz '4 zzz: 144 ..,m.4,E.4,mH.44g .,,,..,, 443. 44.44. 44. .,,-.,f ..44..444...4 . 4 44gg,445f,e:'fg4f441444-me-44. 4 142- 4 4,..44W.. 44..44g444 -.4.-4--444.4-44 .4 2 44 LS 44. 444 444,.. 44 .. 5- 4444- 4444 5-44241444 444444 41.441 45414422 .4444 .444 4. 44. 94' '1iz4.4eisti.4v443-.44 S 43 . kV,kk ,..,, . . .4. 4. 4 . fil 4f'4w-444494 'k L,7' 42' ',', -:-:- Ifhi gf: -4 - - -. lulstfm h I 435 .4 ,--.g -444444494 .::. 4.44444 44 423-44'-44'14is'sfi?m-iissff 444444 44 TH 4 fsggfgass'-5.1144411425 4444 444 . 4- s s s sgiffei-4ss 4 , Qs 4ff9?4s5'f-44224444444-:sie 2 4 i ' : 4 Ll 4 4 ' 14 ff?

The Baseball team had a record of 8 wins, l loss, and l tie. The loss and the tie were two games against Springfield Tech. Mr. Donald Marisan pro- vided the coaching while the team as a whole sup- plied the hits for the wins. The team averaged a very hifh nine runs per game. Bill Pearce, Doug Edmunds, john Mutrie and Paul Lindahl provided the pitching. Our first game was against a strong Deerfield team, but the j.V. team overpowered them, 7-6, with Lindahl going for five innings and Pearce going for two. The game was tight all the way, and in the last inning Coach Marsianis balk-steal play balked in the winning run. VVilliston, the next team that we faced, was weak for the first game, but improved measurably during the season as shown in the rematch with Wilbra- ham. The second game proved exciting. We were down by one run oing into the last inning. Four straight hits by Cfark Hine, Seth Roberts, Miles johnson and john Mutrie gave Wilbraham a one- run victory. After the rain-out with VVorcester, the undefeated YVilbraham team faced an inexperienced Monson team who went down 16-5. In the second game against Monson, the NVilbraham I.V.'s once again beat Monson decisively. VVilbraham experienced their only defeat against a strong Tech team. After four innings the score was 4-0. The Tech team came on strong with nine runs, despite the relief pitching of Paul Lindahl and Doug Edmunds. In the second game the Wfilbraham team came back strong with a 5-5 tie. Clark Hine knocked in the two tying runs with a single in the top of the eighth. A game against Lawrence, a team not reigglarly on our schedule, proved to be easy. Dougdlfl un s pitched the team to a 13-2 victory. In t e Loomis game, Miles johnson provided the hitting. Bill Pearce provided pitching for four innings before Iohn Mut- rie took the win. Loomis was ahead most of the game, but after seven innings the score was 4-4. Miles had a triple and a single for the Px.B.l.'s. ln the top of the ninth Loomis fot one run, but Wil- braham came back. NVith the bases loaded, the Loomis pitcher walked in the two winning runs. The game against Suffield seemed to be typical. Wfilbraham was behind the whole way, but in the last innings clutch hits Won the game 8-7. All in all it was a great year. The batting averages were high, and the pitching was steady. Clutch hits won many games, and Mr. Marsian had ulcers. .M ,.ff.,,,,,1,Q3::'.-i K- 1 .,f- ' f - fx 1, , iwiul' Aw' -:aff I f -i.

S9 19 QA qoseg QD lil lil Lacrosse The spring term this year was marked by the initation of the first organized lacrosse club in the history of the Academy. The Brine Sporting Goods Company in Boston supplied us with a dozen new helmets at no charge while Benssalaer Polytechnic Institute gladly sent us ten battered helmets for which they could find no use. Everything looked great for a well-equipped team. Mr. Anthony Matteo proved to be a demanding coach. Of the 22 original players, Scott Wfilson, Keith Merrill, Pat McGrath, and Ned Owens had previous experience in actual competition. With 18 newcomers to the sport on the team, Coach Matteo was faced with the highly unlikely prospect of training, drilling, and shaping us into an aggressive and knowledgeable lacrosse team in four weeks. Mr. Matteo was an outstanding Varsity defenseman at Brown and is now playing for the Boston Lacrosse Club. This background, coupled with an amiable yet exact- ing coaching manner and his own enthusiasm for the sport, accounted for what fundamentals we learned this spring. After three weeks, desire and attendance dropped amazingly-the result of the good weather and the apathetic outlook prevalent on campus. We are all indebted, however to Mr. Matteo for endeavoring to teach to the re- maining few the basic skills of this centuries-old game. NVe learned, among other things, that lacrosse is founded upon teamwork. Whether the Wilbraham Lacrosse Club will remain active depends on the interest of the school in one of the fastest and most exciting games known to man. The game is hard to master, and sometimes harder to play, but there is no greater athletic thrill than a solid check or a game-winning goal. It is worth it. 153 Rgw 15 Mr. Brown QCoachj, Rick Clifton, Ieff Kellett, Ed Vianney, Bob Stevens, Mr. Shaw QCoachl, Gary Horen, Kel Tyler, Iohn Hine, Iohn Farmer, Paul Rey- Chad Pratt, Rex Alexander, Dave Reed QCO-Captj, Dave Pinney QCD-CHPLD, nolds, Larry Brannen, Dean Ivey, Mark Darlington, Eric Sniyder, Steve Gray Tim McEvoy, Pete Wilson, Bob Bardwell, Adam Korabowski, Eric Wales Row 2, Frank Riley, Mr. Williams CCoachj, Mr. Duncan QCoachl, Ric lard Lamb fMgr.Q Wi1b1-aham 5 Av.m f 1Ci1Shi5S Wilbrahaimj q fLoomis yslilbrahsm Wilbrahamd F77 Wilbraham EiWiIli5fon Y SufHeIc1 W0rcesteyf Grainwel1 39 ' f P ' -.

I HHS SF I. V. Tennis The V. Tennis team had a brief, but successful year. The team showed some young talent in Mike Glasser. a sophomore and the munber 2 man. and in Frank Reese, Iames Prudden and Howie Sohn. its sixth, seventh and eighth men, respec- The rest of the first eight consisted of juniors. tively. In the first match, Mr. Economou led his team to a commanding victory over Monson, 9-0. The team allowed Monson only nine games in eighteen sets. In the next match, Mike Glasser and Steve Krevalin retained their undefeated status in a losing cause to Kingswood, playing on unfamiliar clay courts. Most of the matches lasted for three sets, with four Coachmen losing in the final set. The next two matches, with VVinchendon and Wforcester, were cancelled because of rain. After this long vacation, the team traveled to Suffield to play again .on clay courts. This time Wfilbraham came out on top, 5-4. h The following Saturday, the Coachmen travelled to Avon on what appeared to be a good day for tennis. The singles were still being played when the rain came down. The match was cancelled with NVilbraham leacing. 4-1. The team then rolled past Monson with another 9-0 victory. Coach Economou played his second string team in the doubles. The final match was played against a strong, experienced Pomfret team. XVhen the rains came this time, Pornfret was leading. -1-3, but the first and second doubles were won by NVilbraharn, It looked like a XVilbraham victory was inevitable, had it not been for the rain. The teams record of 3-l is not too impressive, but it must be remembered that rain prevented two potential NVilbraham victories. Mike Glasser and Steve Krevalin finished out the year with unblemished records, and strong support was furnished by Bruce Canade, Frank Reese, Andy Paul and Andy Spear. ,.-' . s v.-v.a rt.l T , iiiii T ..., , . it :- 'S T S Si rr... . - 1 .'
