PUBLISHED BT THE SENIOR CLASS WILBY HIGH SCHOOL, WATERBURT, CONNECTICUT DEDICA TION To Miss Cecilia Jackson, we the class of 1964, dedicate our yearbook. You have been an excellent teacher and an understanding friend to all with whom you have come in contact. You have given us an important gift — the ability to think for our- selves. We shall never forget your unique clues, which may have seemed ambiguous at times, but always succeeded in making us think. You have related our class-room knowledge to the world around us. A native of Waterbury and a graduate of Trinity College in Washington, D.C., you fulfilled your role as a teacher in Derby, Naugatuck, and in our beloved Wilby. 2 In your opinion, teaching is a wonderful profession. It never be- comes boring because of its flexibility. I find it interesting to know that I am teaching the children of students I once had. I receive a great deal of satisfaction in teaching. Because of your warm personality and your sincere interest in us. Miss Jackson, the class of 1964 dedicates our yearbook to you. JOSEPH R. MEMBRINO — Principal Classmates of ’64: I refer to you as classmates because, although I was at Wilby when you were Freshmen. We spent four years together at Wilby but you go out as graduates and I remain as captain of the scholastic ship, Wilby. During our four years we have seen Wilby grow from a student body of about 1,000 to its present strength of almost 1,600 pupils. Classmates, my blessings and good wishes to you in whatever your chosen field, vocation or career may be. 4 AMBROSE G. EGAN — Vice Principal Possibly this could be the last small graduation class from Wilby High School. Per- sonally, I feel that it is one of the nicest classes as is evidenced by the fine class play we witnessed this year. My best wishes to all the members of the class of 1964. 5 MARY G. HUTCHINSON GUIDANCE COUNSELOR Best wishes to the boys and girls of the Class of “64”. Your “Commencement” is the beginning of adult life in higher educational areas or in the business world. Our hope is that the attitudes, knowledge, and skills acquired in high school will help you to contribute something worthwhile — great or small — to this adult world. 6 JOHN McKENNA GUIDANCE COUNSELOR It has been my pleasure to know and work with the class ol 1964.

Spearheaded by head coach Fred O’Brien, assistant coach Jim Kelly, and the senior ball players Bruce Barker, Dave Benson, Tom Blinstrubas, Conrad Car- valho, Doug Lorn pert, Tom Martino, Joe Polletta, and Jay Scott. The team as a whole, enjoyed the best sea- son for Wilby in twenty years. The team and the student body will long remember the two smashing victories over our city rivals Crosby and Sacred Heart. Defeating Crosby by a score of 28- 8 on September 28 and defeating Sacred Heart by 26- 14 on Thanksgiving Day. The team displayed superb effort in both victories. Next year, we the class of ’64, wish Coach Fred O’Brien, assistant coach Jim Kelly, and the entire team, eveiy bit of success, which no doubt they will achieve.

BASKETBALL This year’s basketball team was not one of our best, but we experienced many a thrilling game. Sparkled by our two senior captains Joe Callahan and Grady Scott, also Coach William Evans and assistant coach Edward Conlon. George Doolittle, the third senior contributed many excellent plays in the games. Although we lost 12 out of 18 games, the majority of them were close. We predict great things for Wilby’s bas- ketball team next year because returning for a rewarding year are twelve varsity players whom we know will bring Wilby to the tournament.

After we went through the harrassment of elevator tickets, locker room tickets, and the like from upper classmen, we were ready for more challenging experiences. Our freshman year started off with many new additions to the school. The building was remodeled and new faculty members were added. Our new principal, Mr. Membrino replaced Mr. James E. Moran, who had been promoted to As- sistant Superintendent of Schools. We were very fortunate to have Mr. Membrino begin our “hands of time.” As freshmen, we found that athletics played a very important role in Wilby’s curriculum. Basketball proved to be the most outstanding sport at Wilby. We romped over Croft, Crosby, and Torrington, which meant that we were qualified for the tournament in New Haven. The climax of our freshmen year brought about final examinations. This new experience carried fear throughout our freshman class. We conquered these fears and were on our way to our sophomore year. SOPHOMORE YEAR Labor Day brought another summer vacation to an end, and we, as the fresh- men of yesteryear, acquired the long awaited title of “sophomores.” The name bestowed a feeling of self-confidence as we ascended the ladder of education. Dur- ing the course of 1961, we participated in many more of the extra-curricular activities. A new year brought with it new teachers to our faculty: Mr. Philip Leonardi, Miss Mary K. Bennett, Miss Vera Sutcovoy, Mr. P. Anthony Vitone, and Mrs. Dorothy Sutton. Just as more teachers joined the staff, so did others leave. Among those who re- tired were Miss Helen Leany, Mrs. Janet Hyde, Mrs. Maureen White and Miss Rosita Keenan. Miss Katherine Crary was appointed by the Board of Education as head of the English Department at Wilby. The “Balance Sheet” which had been the name of the school newspaper for twenty-seven years was changed to “The Emerald” due to the generalization of Waterbury high schools. Later in the year, “The Emerald” was awarded the second place certificate by the Columbia Scholastic Press Association at its 38th annual competition. In addition, the Wilby Press Club was selected for the first place in the large division of school page correspondents. Several changes at Wilby were made during the course of the year. A new inter- com system was installed which enabled speedy communication throughout the school building. Punishment session was also re-established. During the course of the year the Senior Class presented “Ask Any Girl,” a de- lightful comedy. 78 CLASS HISTORY JUNIOR YEAR Soon after returning to school in the fall and getting settled in our daily class- room routine, vve elected our class officers. The four chosen were Ronald Slater, President; Donald Planson, Vice-President; Edythe Mancini, Secretary; and Janice De Firore, Treasurer. These four students were to be our leaders in junior activities for the coming year. The junior class elected them for their intelligence, dependa- bility, leadership, and their ability to organize. We were well pleased with the way they carried out their duties. Another big event of the junior year was the ordering of our class rings. The rings were designed with a fascimile of Wilby’s front door, superimposed in gold on black onyx. We were to be the last graduating class to have these rings. Eight new teachers were added to Wilby’s faculty during our junior year. Miss Hoey, Mrs. Mary Fox, Mr. Flaherty, Mr. Good, Mr. Riely, Mr. Pugliese, and Mr. Kleinschmidt. Sports continued to be an important part of our whole school year. We would like to salute our football, basketball, baseball, and swimming teams for the wonder- ful work they did in trying to achieve victory. A special salute goes to Art Moore who won the first annual Billy Finn Memorial Award for the outstanding basket- ball player of the year. Although we did not win every game, the effort and the determination of the boys were always apparent, and their good sportsmanship was a quality which we all appreciated. The biggest social event of the school year is the Junior Prom. It was held at Long Acre Inn which is located near Hitchcock Lake. The girls looked lovely in an array of pastel-colored gowns, while the boys looked equally handsome in their white dinner jackets. It was a gala evening, and a good time was had by all. We said good-bye to our junior year with the feeling that our senior year would be just as rewarding. There was a note of sadness in leaving our junior year, and in entering our senior year, as we knew that this coming year was to be our last. This dampened our spirits a bit; but yet it was a thrill to which we all looked forward, as we knew that each year at Wilby would be long and joyously remem- bered. SENIOR YEAR STRIKE-up the band! Our “Hands of Time” have slowly brought us to the threshold of graduation. One of the exciting points in our Senior year was the election of Senior officers. The results of the election were: Donald Hanson as President, Joanne Valetta as Vice President, Janice DeFiore as secretary, and Janice D’Aloia as treasurer. They were all honor students and well deserving of their titles. Many of our activities were interrupted due to the fact that during most of our last year the teachers were under sanctions; therefore, we were unable to par- ticipate in any extra curricular activities. These restrictions were lifted during the second semester and activities resumed their normal course. Our annual class play was a favorite, “Pillow Talk.” The starring roles were played by some of our more talented students: Lyn Palomba as Jan Morrow, Bruce Barker as Brad Allen, Georgia Yulke as Alma, Bobby Dorn as Jonathan Forbes, John Klima as Pierot, Florence Townsend as Mrs. Walters, and last but not least Barry Caouette as Tony Walters. 79 Senior Year continued — June seventeenth is another milestone we will long remember, for this night marked the beginning of a new life for all of us.
