Text from Pages 1 - 96 of the 1969 volume:

1969 It would appear that this man has never learned the meaning of the word failure. His department is known throughout the State and his Aggies are among the finest. All of his efforts have been beneficial to the school. As advisor to our class he will always be remembered for his willingness to help. It was he who cleaned up after the Senior Reception so that we could go to the beach and it was he who had to listen to the uproar when we held our Junior Prom away from school. In recognition of his many services, the Class of 1969 proudly dedicates it's Yearbook to Mr. John Durst. 2 Message from the Headmaster Members of the Class of 1969: Congratulations to you—individually and collectively. You have passed another milestone in your lives—graduation from a fine secondary school. Use your diploma as a springboard to launch your- selves into the greatest decades in the history of mankind. It matters little what your plans are. I en- courage you to pursue them with enthusiasm and determination. Whether on the farm, in school, in the factory, in the armed services, or wherever you are, you possess the rarest of gifts. You are part of the few fortunate enough to be Americans and, as a result, your potential is limited only by the length, depth, and breadth of your imagination. Remove the word impossible from your vocabularies. As you approach your present goals, raise your sights. Above all, retain your sense of honesty and integrity and, certainly, your sense of humor. There are many problems to be solved and many hurdles to cross. However, yours is the most in- telligent generation ever to take its place on the face of the earth. The world will soon be dependent on the efforts of you young people. I know you are equal to the task. It need not, indeed should not, bother you to take up the challenge. Those of us who are over thirty indeed may not know much. However, I, for one, am positive that as long os our institutions continue to develop young people such as yourselves, we must be doing something right. Best wishes and good fortune to each of the members of the class of 1969. Allan D.

Wood was donated over the summer, the building was completed and commencement exercises took place the following February. It is quite ironic looking back from today to discover that at these exercises the name of the main speaker was Lyman. Enrollment at the Academy started with a moderate number of students, then increased as the graduates attended institutions such as Yale and Harvard and gained a good reputation for W.A. But around 1830 enrollment started drop- ping off. This continued for 23 yeors, called the “Dark Ages , until finally the Academy was closed to students and became a private home. Finally in the spring of 1844, Henry Bowen renovated the Academy building and it was once again opened to secondary school students. In 1882 the Academy building was removed and made the private home of George Bowen just down the common. A new Academy building was dedicated at which a letter was read from Oliver Wendell Holmes, grandson of the only man brave enough to put the steeple on the original Academy building. In these years, there was a dormitory called Elmwood Hall which stood between the present sites of the Academy building and the gym. Woodstock can therefore claim one of the first open housing projects in the area. The Bracken Memorial Library wos built some 40 years later, in 1924, in memory of a former Academy student. Even during the time the library was being built, a drive wos going on to raise money for a gym, which was to be built in memory of Ely Hall, one of the most prominent figures in the Academy's history. He had started organized sports and in the 1920's the Academy had the Connecticut number one small school basketball teom. An Agricultural department was originally set up in the late 1800's with its classes held in the Academy building. However, because of increased interest in the department, an Ag. building was constructed in 1941, the one that exists today. Quite awhile afterwards in 1957, the science building was erected with classrooms and the headmaster's office. It was the first time his office had been located outside of the Academy building. Now, however, Mr. Walker can be found in his office in the Bowen Building, commonly known as the New Building. With plush wall-to-wall carpeting and Herman heaters, it is definitely the first choice building of any student. Whether the one-building campus of 1801 or the 6-building campus of today—the standard of education is still highly upheld, and when intertwined with a social life hard to match, W.A. remains deeply-rooted in all students' hearts. 40 Foreign Relations Club Advisor: Mr. James Stuhlman National Honor Society 47 Advisor: Mr. Herbert D'Elia 43 Spire Staff Advisor: Mr. Marshall Tourtoiiotte Spire Committee 44 Sr Advisor: Mr. Beotson Advisor: Mr. Budd Soccer Varsity Sports Cooch: Mr. Wild Junior Varsity Sports Soccer Coach: Mr. Stuhlman Basketball Athletic Council Advisor: Mr. Wilde The Athletic Council at Woodstock Academy was organized in 1960. Its Constitution was adopted in Decem- ber of that same year. The primary purpose of the Athletic Council is to further and promote athletic and recreational activities for the students of Woodstock Academy and to serve as an advisory group to the Department of Athletics. The more specific functions of this Council are: —to cooperate with the Department of Athletics in the sponsorship of all athletic contests such as the Inter- scholastic sports, and the Intramural sports (i.e. Blue-Gold competition). —to promote Academy public relations with respect to athletics and publicize the sports program. —to develop recreational facilities and activities. —to conduct the Athletic Awards Banquet. —to sponsor fund raising activities such as the Grinder Booth, the Student Store or any other suitable means. —to promote loyalty and increase enthusiasm in the athletic program. C.A. 49 Soccer Captain: Jeff Horne 1968 WOODSTOCK ACADEMY SOCCER The 1968 varsity soccer campaign opened officially on August 26th when 60 boys reported for the first practice. With a good crop of rookies and a strong nucleus of returning lettermen, the prospects looked bright for a successful season. The first test came early in September when the Centaurs scrimmaged Coventry,- a scrimmage which they lost 3—2. Although this may have dimmed some hopes, the team rebounded and gave an excellent account of itself in the annual Quinebaug Valley Soccer Jamboree. The first two games of the regular season were against Charlton. In the first of the two Woodstock came from behind to gain a 3—3 tie, and in the second Woodstock chalked up its first win, defeating Charlton 2—1. In the third game another team from Massachusetts, Marian Hill, fell to the Centaurs 5—0. Then it was off to Lyman for the first of two meetings between the arch soccer rivals. For once the weather conditions were perfect for a Woodstock—Lyman meeting, but when the game was over, Woodstock fans wished it had rained for Lyman dominated 3—1. The only Centaur goal came off the foot of Eugene Hendrickson early in the first period. Woodstock roared back after this loss and won their next seven games in a row,- in the process defeating fellow QVC foes Tourtellotte and Norwich Tech twice each and giving the Centaur booters another shot at the top spot in the league. Also the team assured itself of a spot in the state tournament. The day was Thursday, October 24th. It was a typical fall day, cloudy and cool. The place was the Woodstock Com- mon and the game was must for the Centaurs. Lyman had come to town and this game would decide the Quinebaug Valley Championship, the title belonged to Woodstock, and they were unwilling to let it slip. Woodstock scored first when Semihi Uzuner booted home a penalty kick at 4:37 of the second period. Lyman came back and tied the game in the third period and there it remained until the final fifteen seconds of regulation play when an errant pebble bounced a Lyman shot over the groping fingers of Woodstock goalie Jeff Horne for the winning score. Woodstock would have to wait until 1969 to reclaim the championship. In the first round action of the state tournament, played at Woodstock, the Centaurs downed LaSallette Academy 5—0. Coach Peck rode the shoulders of his victorious team all the way into the showers. In the quarter-final game played at Rockville High, Woodstock yielded to a strong RHAM team, the team which later won the tournament, 2—0. In summary, the seniors contributed greatly to the team's fine overall record of 10—3—1. Sam Hendrickson was the teams leading scorer with 13 goals, followed closely by Semihi Uzuner with 11. Steve Latici added 5, Gary Barclift netted 2, Chris Chvirko booted home 2 from the corner, John McGrath added 1 and Don Harding tallied 1. In assistes the team was led by Sophomore Art Milnor with 5. QVC All’Star goalie Jeff Horne had 115 saves to his credit. Also earning AII Star recognition were Gary Barclift, Semihi Uzuner, and Eugene Hendrickson.

After a heartbreaking loss to league leading Tourtellotte, they went on to slay Parish Hill, Ellis Tech., Lyman, the Alumni, Putnam, Plainfield, and Cheney Tech. This was due largely to the key offensive play of Curt Logee, Jeff Horne, and Gene Hendrickson, while the rebounding and passing skills of Junior Glenn Anderson and the defensive adeptness of Gary Barclift backed them up. The team carried its winning streak until January 14 when Tourtellotte dashed all hopes of a league championship for the Centaurs. The team bounced back, however, and continued to win with Larry Parquette, Carl Norman, Seniors John McGrath and Tim Goodier, and Doug Cutler pitching in to make it a team effort. After a break for Mid-Year Exams, the team out manuvered Douglas, Ellis and Lyman, but dropped a two point decision to Putnam and a one pointer to Plainfield. On February 11 the team wrapped up its regular season by plowing through the snow to trounce Douglas by 22 points. In compiling a 13-4 record this season, the Centaurs qualified for the Q.V.C. and State Tournaments and have ear- marked themselves as a force to be reckoned with next year. 52 Cross Country Captain: Dennis Wallen The 1968 Cross Country team ran the largest number of meets in the schools history ond the record stood at 2-11 after it was over. With only 7 members a better record just wasn't in the books. Talent shown this year, if multiplied for 1969 will bring about a good year. Try running—it's good for your health. 54 Cheerleaders Coach: Mrs. leveille 55 Girls Varsity Basketball Coach: Mrs. Ingraham Co-captains Cheryl Anderson and Debra Foisey Girls Basketball The 1968-69 season appeared to be a definite rebuilding year for the girls at W.A. but instead it turned out to be one of surprises and accomplishments. Debra Foisey (the only returning starter from last years' squad), besides improving her shooting considerably, used her great speed and quick hands to repeatedly steal the ball and keep it in our possession. Cheryl Anderson, after playing a substitute role last year became a double threat this year. Whenever a high scoring op- ponent needed to be contained, Cheryl was designated for the task. Norma Bailey, the only other returning '68 player, tossed in her bank shot many times to help the W.A. cause. The rest of the team ploying their first year as Varsity did a tremendous job. Karen Larson, Melody Wyeth, Terry Bruneau, June Naylor, Dolly Child, Judy Cartier and Debby Sheldon possessed great drive, determination and desire. These qualities combined with the proper spirit and good sportsmanship made 1968-69 a very surprising and most successful basketball season with a final record of 12-2. The Junior Varsity also had a very successful season with a final record of 12-1. 56 w. 47 Tourtellotte 22 w. 40 Killingly 41 w. 49 Douglas 42 w. 62 P.C.A. 18 w. 58 Tourtellotte 28 w. 50 Putnam 14 w. 58 Killingly 33 w. 19 Sutton 39 w. 67 Putnam 16 w. 32 Douglas 21 w. 30 Southbridge 9 w. 66 Bartlett 30 w. 63 Bartlett 21 w. 61 Southbridge 12 Girls J.V.
