- RIchard Silkman leaves going down swinging?
--- 11/24/01; Silky was the starting shortstop on the baseball team. He was an outstanding SS and, most of the time, a very good hitter. About halfway through our senior season Rich suddenly and inexplicably could not even foul a pitch off. He was striking out regularly, even in practice. As you no doubt recall, back in the day, friends would needle each other, good-naturedly of course, about their problems. Raffe Yagjian, the Weintraubs (Dave and Ross), Ollie Wilson and I began making three "whooshing" sounds (the sound of a bat cutting through air) whenever we wanted to zing Silky. Luckily for us, Rich regained his batting stroke in time to help us win the Inter-High title as well as the Central Mass Championship. To this day, Rich maintains a great sense of humor.

- Karen Friedberg "kef" leaves for Tevya?
--- 6/08/01; . I went to a summer camp in southern NH for 11 years! I was a camper and then a counselor for 4 years. I would still be there if I could! It was definitley a
highlight of my life and I still maintain friendships from the early 60's with camp people! In fact, my 2 kids go there! My son will be athletic director this summer (his 11th year) and My daughter will be a counselor-in-training (her 9th summer). As you can see, this camp is addicting and has become embedded in our lives. So, in the class will, I was leaving for Tevya to work on the waterfront and teach swimming! Kind of my utopia....

- Jean Croteau leaves to plan another party?

-- 4/22/01;

- John Ramsdell leaves second gear in the parking lot?
--- 4/27/01; We have the following from John; I didn't really leave second gear in the parking lot I think it was out in Leicester somewhere, where I Broke second gear in my Hugger Orange 55 Chevy Street Machine. My friends used to kid me about it so thats where it came from. I can tell you what we did leave in the parking lot on the last day of school, and that was alot of tire rubber and smoke. The orange 55 chevy went on to become a full fledged drag car, and was raced at New England Dragway for a number of years. (ed. note; John, I remember riding in that mean machine - about 7 miles to the gallon as I recall)

- Kathleen Radesky leavers her paint-stained granny glasses?
- Fred Van Liew leaves guidance with ulcers?

-- 3/1/01;

- We left Mr. Rawding a second year contract as advisor for Xanadu & Mr. McNamara another abodeely

- Ann Marszalek left her bookeeping to Mr. Fitzmaurice (ed note; In bookeeping you open the books then close the books)

-- 2/22/01;

- Binu Chaudhuri left her hair to Shelly Witkin
--- 3/09/01; According to a Sr. Marketing Official: Binu left her hair to Shelley because Shelley would have given anything to have had straight, long, thick, gorgeous hair! It was tough being a girl with naturally curly hair in the 1960s, when fashion dictated long, straight hair. Most curly haired girls looked best with short hair but, if you
were lucky, you could force it to grow, and then straighten it with chemicals and big rollers, praying constantly for non-humid weather!

Of course, now that we are approaching middle age (smile), short hair is more flattering and all those straight-haired girls of yesteryear are now women who need perms for body and fullness! But not us curly-haired ladies! Shelley, Laura and I will never have to fuss with our hair!


- George Cocavessis leave his boston trips to llttle brother
--- 2/22/01; According to an unnamed high ranking government source we have an answer; George Cocavessis, Rick Ellbeg, Phil Bitzas, to name a few, would miss school
to go on field trips. Some of the places explored were Bensons Animal Farm, the Boston Science Center, and venues in Boston that shall remain nameless, and of course the beach in the spring. All the trips were in George's "56" or
"57" chevy. A black and yellow number with holes in the floor board. The trips were left to George's' younger brother Billy, who was a couple of years behind us. (ed note: But Billy did he leave the chevy?)
=====================================

Thoughts to consider: Mr Allard; obi oh obi est meus sub obi ; along with that tidbit of information that he told us never to forget - His math class was also like a history lesson as illustrated below;

4/22/01 reminder from Carolyn Barnard - Mr. Allard must have cost the school budget a fortune with all the chalk he threw out his Math class window. (ed note: how could we have forgotten this as many of us were likely targets)

Mathematical Factoid!

There is evidence to suggest that African Mathematics began more than 8000 years ago. A carved bone dating from between 9000 BC and 6500 BC was found at Ishango in Zaire. The markings indicate that these prehistoric people used a base-10 number system (just like we do) and were familiar with prime numbers and the operation of multiplying by 2. A series of notches on the Ishango bone appear to approximate a lunar calendar, suggesting a fairly sophisticated knowledge of astronomy.
