••»»

When someone young and full of life is taken from us, we feel a deep loss. So it was when our friend and former classmate Linda Stone passed away. She was an active member of our class and also partici- pated in many community affairs. Her magnetic personality gained for her the friendship and respect of everyone with whom she came in contact. Her unfailing courage was an inspiration to those who knew her. Despite her illness she worked diligently and ranked second in our class. With fond memories, we, the class of 1966, proudly dedicate this year's TATTLER to Linda Stone.

A year at Williamsburg High School can be a richly rewarding and satisfying experience. It means man! things to many students. It is despair --not making the cheering squad; joy- -landing a role in the schoc play; it is failure- -losing a track meet; and success making the honor roll. The year is wonderful becauj of the unique days that are its components, from th( first day when students return to classes with re- newed vigor and a lively curiosity, to graduation whj seniors are awarded their diplomas and fully realize that they must venture into the unknown world. The! hub-bub and bustle in the hall at the passing of classes, the pungent smells escaping from the chemistry lab, the voices of one's teachers which become so familiar during the year, the faces of classmates in the halls, classrooms, and study hallj all these things share in forming the school year as1 we know it.

The Tear Begins . . .

As the year begins, life at Williamsburg High School has both serious and amusing aspects . Students queue up outside Mr . Feiker's office for the important task of revising their schedules to remove conflicts . After text books have been distributed, the Student Council initiates its first project of the year, that of selling book covers .

However, school life is not all seriousness. On October 1, the Freshman Class endured the indignities of Haze Day, delighting the upperclass- men with their unique and often hilarious costumes Freshman Reception was held that night. Nancy McAvoy was a very capable Mistress of Cere- monies, and the freshmen provided the entertain- ment of the evening.

Literary Activities Beg

Tattler Officers

This year the TATTLER has undergone several changes in an attempt to make our yearbook as fresh and modern as the sixties in which we live. Last spring the editors of the current TATTLER spent an informa- tive day at the annual Yearbook Conference at Springfield College to learn this modern technique. The major point stressed was the fact that the yearbook is not just a classbook but exactly what its name implies- -a book about a year. Hence we have omitted the passe' class will, prophecy, nicknames, and other such features, and have included more pictures of the year's events to make our yearbook interesting to every student, not just the seniors.

The staff has been fortunate to have the guidance of Mrs. Packard and has worked hard in the "cubby hole" --the yearbook office --to make this year's TATTLER the best ever.

Press Club

The Press Club, with Mrs. Marjorie McKusick as advisor, has a weekly column in the DAILY HAMPSHIRE GAZETTE entitled "Williamsburg High School Notes." The purpose of this column is to inform the surrounding communities of important and interesting events which have taken place or will take place in Williamsburg High School. In this way the Press Club serves as a link between the school and the com- munity. Membership in the Press Club is made up of all class secretaries and any other interested students who wish to join. The members of the Club for this year 1965 and 1966 are Sylvia Culver, Richard Eaton, Rebecca Ells, Donald Gray, Joanne Lawler, Paula Pavels cyk, Gloria Rapalee, Judy Richardson, and Sarah Thomas.

{gainst Stiff Competition

CROSS COUNTRY FIRST ROW: Alan Golash, David Graves, Bill Graves, Warren Messick, Peter Gorham, Don Lawler, and John Dufresne. SECOND ROW: RobertBeebe, manager; Paul Elmes, Jim Taylor, RichardHutch- ins, Dave Grills, coach; Ken Stone, Curt Mercier, Tim Daggett, and Don Grey.

The 1965 Cross Country Team performed well against stiff competition from larger schools in the Northern Division of the Western Massachusetts Interscholastic Cross Country Association. The team compiled a three and four won and loss record placing them fifth in the final League standings.

In every meet except against Greenfield the efforts of sophomores Messeck, Graves, and Gorham produced three Williamsburg boys among the first five finishers. However, the all important depth so necessary for highly successful cross country teams was lacking and this resulted in losing several closely-contested meets. Consistent performances by sophomore Alan Golash and freshman David Graves also provide much hope for the future success of Williamsburg's cross-country teams.

The highlight of the season was the Third Annual Regional Cross-Country Meet at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst. Warren Messeck and Bill Graves each won a silver medal when they placed ninth and thirteenth respectively in a field of 119 schoolboy runners. The team turned in a respectable performance at this Regional Meet, finishing sixth among seventeen competing schools.

Student Guides

Student Council Directed Parents at Open Hoi

The Student Guides of Williamsburg High School are a necessary part of an average school day. Their job is to enforce the rules of both the Student Council and Mr. Buss. The Guides have been performing their job faith- fully for five years and are now a permanent and independent feature in our school's facilities. It would be hard to imagine the confusion of our now crowded hallways if all the Guides were absent even for a single day. On the whole, the student body of Williams- burg High School cooperates with the Guides to make the least number of traffic snarls possible.

Mr. Buss, the faculty, and the Student Council have their work cut out for them in choosing students to be Guides. Although some Guides have been chosen from the lower classes, members of the Guides are usually juniors or seniors because in these years stu- dents are more mature .

Dramatic Club Presents Our Town . . .

Although success stories are sometimes hard to come by, the production of OUR TOWN, presented by the Dramatics Club, has to be termed one. Work on this three -act play started in early October. From then on there was a tight schedule; rehearsals were held every night until five -thirty or six; a sense of professionalism was introduced by this practice. It was not felt to be the extracurricular "go home and forget it" project, but instead more of an important job that demanded responsibility and work from everyone concerned.

Opening night was soon upon us. Nervous- ness, strange as it may seem, did not claim any victims. Feeling "dressed-up" in our costumes provided by the able props committee and with make-up that completed our characterizations, we went on stage. As a result of the fine job of directing done by Mrs. Margaret Halberstadt and Mrs. Sue Trowbridge we had the assurance to do a successful job.

The Science Club Is Active Throughout the Tear

The Science Club under the guidance of Mrs. Belck and Mr. Mercer began its activities in the fall with a hike to Lily Pond in Goshen to view wild life in our own area . Among the other fall programs were two films on cancer and a film and lecture on the Audubon Society at Smith College.

Once a month during the remainder of the year the club visited various places of scientific interest. The agenda this year included a trip to Monsanto in Ludlow, a tour of the General Electric plant in Pittsfield, and a conservation hike. The club also saw films on careers in science.

As usual a major expedition was taken at the end of the year as a "reward" to those members who participated in at least five activities during the year. The year's trip was to Cape Cod to spend not only an enjoyable day at the beach but also to examine natural life at the sea shore.

Glee Club Sings at Christmas Assembly

Highlighted by the arrival of Santa Claus, the Christmas Assembly provided relax- ation for students and faculty alike and set the spirit for the coming holiday. Presi- dent of the Student Council, Janis Donovan, opened the assembly. The installation of. the student council officers and representatives followed the reading of the Christmal story from the Bible. After carols by the Junior High, Robert Daggett sang "What Child Is This", accompanied on the piano by Miss Olive Healy. The assembly closed with best wishes for the Christmas season from the principal, Donald J. Buss.

Although we do not have a very extensive music program at Williamsburg High Schot there are some musical activities in which students may participate. The Glee Club performs at many assemblies and graduation. This year Robert Daggett has been selected to sing in the All -State Music Festival in Fitchburg. Under the able super- vision of Miss Olive Healy, several enjoyable music programs are conducted.

The Williamsburg girls' basketball team, with Mrs. Evelyn Kmit coaching, enjoyed a success- ful season, winning eleven games and losing five. One of our outstanding victories was by one point over Amherst Regional High School, whom we have not defeated since 1963. The rest of the season showed this same keen com- petition and a commendable display of team effort and good sportsmanship.

This year the team was invited to participate in the Western Massachusetts Girls' Tournament at Frontier Regional, where we received a tro- phy for second place in the B division.

Through graduation the team will lose the first string senior forwards: Jane Parsons, Sue Otis, Jean Batura, and Nancy Merritt. However, we feel that the promising junior girls will exper- ience another victorious season.

"Be True to Your School"

rhe 1965-66 edition of varsity basketball produced 1 disappointing 4 and 15 record and finished in a lie for the cellar in its first year of participation •ithe Bi -County League. During the season the tarn suffered a 12 game losing streak, the long- [st in Coach Earl Tonet's tenure at Williamsburg. «i all fairness, the team played some good ball Jut was the victim of inconsistency and inexper- ience in addition to dreaded injuries and illness If key players.

llie outlook for next year will depend greatly on Jhe experience gained by sophomores Graves, Bfest, Golosh, Wilson and Messeck in the past Jampaign; the rebounding strength and scoring potential of juniors Beebe and Hillenbrand; and he contributions to be made by the more prom- Sing members of the Junior Varsity who compiled 10-8 record under Coach David Grills.

A Typical Typing Class

In accordance with the theme of this year's TATTLER, "The Year in Review, " it is essential to include the real purpose of any school in any year --education. The curriculum at Williams- burg High School, although divided into three sections --college, commercial, and general --still involves one thing on the part of every student --hard work.

On an average school day working students are everywhere . One may hear pounding typewriters, smell fuming chemicals from the lab, and see excited, enthusiastic faces throughout the building. One also may hear the groans of an unhappy student after an exam and see intense faces, struggling with involved math problems. These are the many facets of educational activities in our school

Debate Club

The Debate Club, under the direction of Mr. Herbert Montebello, had a relatively successful year despite several obstacles . Last ' year Williamsburg dropped out of the Connecticut Valley League, and we were forced to start this year with an all -novice team . Hence, our team was competing with third and fourth year varsity teams from other schools .

The debate resolution this year was: Resolved, that the federal government should adopt a program of compulsory arbitration of labor -management disputes in the basic industries .

Other activities for the year included: a debate clinic at the Uni- versity of Massachusetts, several practice debates at Frontier Regional High School, and a two day invitational tournament at South Hadley High School . Team members also served as time keepers at a college tournament at the University of Massachu- setts .

Model Congress Delegates

Four members of the Debate Club participated in the Model Congress at American International College in April . Williamsburg was one of several schools in the Eastern States that sent repre- sentatives to this mock-congress. The bill presented by Williamsburg students was concerned with deceptive packaging and labeling of consumer goods .

Slaves served ad- vanced Latin stu- cents

The Latin Banquet- -Cena Romana

The highlight of the year for Wil- liamsburg's Latin classes is the an- nual Latin Banquet . Organized by the second-year classes, the program features a Roman style feast, fol- lowed by entertainment in the same spirit . Everyone attending wears a Roman costume .

This year the banquet opened with the sacrifice of a first -year student to the gods . Then the meal itself was served, consisting of such Roman delicacies as cold cuts, potato chips, cake, and, of course wine (tasting suspiciously like grape juice) . The second year students and faculty re- clined in luxury, while their slaves, the first -year students, waited on them .

The dinner was followed by the se- lection of a king and queen, who were entertained with a parade and athletic contests . At the close of the evening Mrs . McKusick and Mr . Buss announced the winners of the awards for the best and most orig- inal costumes . Everyone enjoyed himself, and the first -year students are eagerly awaiting their chance to put on the next banquet .

The best -dressed patricians were Afred Cone and Wendy Foster.

Our Theme Was Bon Voyage

On May 28, 1965, our class spool sored the annual Junior -Senior Prom, a very popular event whicij was well attended and enjoyed by all . The theme was "Bon Voyage'; and the red, white, and blue dec-! orations gave the auditorium a unique nautical look. Cindy Pack- ard was chosen queen, and in hei1 court were Dorothy Sylvester, Cheryl Blackmer, Renee Bris- bois, and Jane Parsons . Our clas: will probably always remember that night of fun and the Decora- tion Committee can never forget the day of confusion which pre- ceded it .
