"Women are now collectively in process toward a new understanding of who we will be in the future, who we have been in the past. This period in the collective process is not unlike a page from a diary: a moment possessed of its own truth. Our new freedom to become workers is exhilarating.â&#x20AC;?

Carolyn’s Day is Here!
This is International W om en’s Year. The senior class of '76 watches you take a stand fo r women and has a g reat deal of respect fo r you as a person. We take pride in having you as a model of to d a y 's woman. You are a cool lady and a dynam ite person! With all our love, Class of ‘76
Life — so they say Is but a game and they let it slip away Love — like the autumn sun Should be dying but it’s only just begun Like the twilight in the road up ahead They don't see just where we’re goin’ And all the secrets in the universe Whisper in our ears and all the years will come and go And take us up always up We may never pass this way again We may never pass this way again We may never pass this way again Dreams — so they say Are for the fools and they let them drift away Peace —- like the silent dove Should be flyin' but it's only just begun Like Columbus in the olden days We must gather all our courage Sail our ships out on the open sea Cast away our fears and all the years will come and go And take us up — always up We may never pass this way again We may never pass this way again We may never pass this way again
DEBI LIONETTI
The leaves are falling all around, it’s time I was on my way. Thanks to you, I’m much obliged for such a pleasant stay. And now, it’s time for me to go; the autumn moon lights my way.
Many times I’ve lied and many times I've listened. Many times I've wondered how much there is to know. Many dreams come true, and some have silver linings. I live for my dreams and a pocketful of gold.
The road goes ever on and on Down from the door where it began. Now far ahead the road has gone, And I must follow, if I can, Pursuing it with weary feet, Until it joins some larger way, Where many paths and errands meet. And whither then ? I cannot say.
Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t part with your illusions. When they are gone you may still exist, but you have ceased to live.
JOANN SAPHIER
....
tarry-eyed an' laughing as I recall when we were caught Trapped by no track of hours for they hanged suspended As we listened one last time an’ we watched with one last look Spellbound an’ swallowed 'til the tolling ended Tolling for the aching ones whose wounds cannot be nursed For the countless confused, accused, misused, strung-out ones an’ worse An’ for every hung-up person in the whole wide universe An' we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing.
if i love you (thickness means worlds inhabited by roamingly stern bright faeries if you love me) distance is mind carefully luminous with innumerable gnomes of complete dream if we love each (shyly) other, what clouds do or silently flowers resembles beauty less than our breathing

A Message for YOU Reach for that diamond star. Our future’s not too far. And if you need me, I’ll be there. I’m someone who always cares. About me, about you, About what we do. Today or tomorrow, We’ve had our sorrow, And before time’s gone, And morning's dawn, I’ll sing this song for you. Janelle

Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free, Silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sa With all memory and fate driven deep beneath Let me forget about today until tomorrow.

CAROL CHESWICK Why do some people think it's funny to talk about worms while you're eating spaghetti. Snoopy
I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think of anything more stupid than standing out in a pasture while itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s raining. S
This is not primarily the place where we have to be, it is the place where we are. This is not our prison but our home. It is the road we must walk and the walking of it is called life. Because we will walk it only once, then how important it is that we should walk it with some purpose that we can call our own.

THE PYE CLUB PROTECT YOUR ENVIRONMENT Pye began as a group of students at Thomas School who were upset over the fact that a certain person was filling in a nearby tidal marsh which the students had used as an outside laboratory for their biological studies. Knowing the value of such an area, and how few marshes there are left, they began to write letters to Hartford asking them for a bill which would protect such areas. After long hours, days, and weeks of work, their bill, 695, was passed a few days before Congress adjourned for two years. Since this time, the girls have designed a button, distributed over 50,000 pamphlets and formed themselves into an organization devoted to saving our country from pollution, famine and over-population. PYE Club Aims: The PYE Club is a non-profit club dedicated to: a) informing the public of the serious biological situation we are in. b) communicating with politicians on these matters. c) trying to convince educated, successful people that they cannot neglect their government, but must talk with politicians about the important issues of these times. d) trying to reach youth on these matters, to show them that they must think and work in terms of the future if they are to have a quality environment in which to live. The Serious Biological Problems that Concern Members: a)
over-population. From two billion people in 1930, we are almost four billion now, and will probably be eight billion by 2000AD. b) the coming food crisis which is already present in many countries and is predicted to become much worse because of the population growth. c) the multiple pollution problems and the destructive effects they are having on our ESSENTIAL biological environment. d) the careless handling of our natural resources which are being treated as if they are inexhaustible; ex. loss of tidal marshes, with their essential links to the food chain, for housing lots and jet ports, ex. serious pollution of the ocean and inland waters, which are sources of oxygen as well as food.
PYE was founded in 1968 by Mrs. Joy Lee, a biology teacher at Thomas School. The following excerpts are from her philosophy; a)
PYE is about education . . . the students were teaching what they had been taught, and the students were the people who didn’t know why the marshes were important.” b) “ PYE is about political responsibility . . . once people under stood, we asked them to personally express their opinion to their representatives.” c) “ PYE is about respect ... we knew people would have different feelings on this issue. But we did go out to sell them on the need to protect their environment.” d) “ PYE is about freedom and truth . . . freedom to try to convince others that this is an important issue and truth as the best we could determine it.”
Blue = clean air, clean water Green = open space, plant life, natural resources Yellow = sunlight All these are essential to life.

DATELINE 1984 IT'S A BRAVE NEW WORLD — WOMEN DEFY THE LIMITS AND NOW FOR A CLOSER LOOK AT THE CLASS OF 1976 Breaking new frontiers is Amy Germain who has just become the second woman commercial pilot. She managed to keep close to those “ wings.” Rachael Ashley has reportedly been named the succeeding editor to Viva. As for our athletes, Alison Yates is an up and coming tennis pro; she has been touring all the circuits. Jodi Brown tied with Karen Olson in the downhill races at the winter Olympics this year. Jodi lost time at the beginning of the race when she misplaced her can of tab. Page Smith has just received the Most Valuable Player of The Year award from Miss Softball America. However, she could not pick up her trophy as she was trying to break the international cooky-eating record. Earlier this year Debora Lionetti became the first woman center for the Rangers hockey team; her life long ambition was fufilled. As for Beth Bradley, past L.H.T. jock, better things have come her way. Beth was presented with the cup for the Most All Round Woman in Sports last month. On the art scene, Donna Horna has recently opened a ceramics studio in the heart of Greenwich Village and Tori Pierce maintains her own calligraphy studio in SoHo. Carol Cheswick has become a New York Times art critic. Last week's topic was an in-depth study on the esthetic principles of the Seagram’s building. “ It's fru-fru.” Janelle Bradford has just invented the first MG that has a guitar-playing horn. The back seat is great for making beautiful music — oh no! there is no back seat. Liz Osman has moved onto bigger and better things. She now directs the Faith Tabernacle Choir, nevertheless, she keeps close ties to home. And, of course, who but Diane Mills could receive the title of the First Groupie of the Year from the Academy of Music. Liz Schwartz finally got her name up in lights. She currently stars in “ This is Your Life — L.H.T. Revisited.” Support an alumna; Hey-Day gives rave reviews. New records have been set by several of the alumnae. Cathy Haims has made the Guiness Book of World Records for the darkest perennial tan. Ripley’s Believe It or Not reports
that Penny Tolson is the first woman to ride bare-back between the U.S.A. and Mother England. A recent flash from U.P.I. informed us that Muff Shantz came in last in the Reverse Grand Prix. Diana Plotkin has just signed a contract with the Moscow Circus. Her talent for wiggling her eyes has thrilled and astounded thousands of people. Michelle Liptak was voted Breck’s number one “ girl with the hair” for this year. Jan Ellegard has reached the furthest limb; she now presides as the president of the Horticulture Society of America. Mandy Boe is heading a sleep research laboratory in an attempt to draw conclusions between art output and rest. Mandy is in need of test cases; get in touch with her before 9:00PM. Beth Boroson has not yet surfaced from her last marine research project. She is somewhere in the Pacific searching for Monty Pythons — strange animals! Linda Mckee has taken charge of the student tours to France. Mme. Mckee suggests other methods of travel besides the metro. Julie Vos has almost run out of things to be president of; she is now running for top banana of the U.S.A.. Kirsti Wastrom is woman of the hour in Washington. Economics payed off well. As head of the Consumer Action Committee Kirsti’s issue is the banning of diet cola. Ginger Aron is still squeaking away in the courtrooms of Washington. Laura Freeman has made a career of finding suitable wives for particular bachelor. Rosemary Layman has been slightly detained in her career goals; she is still arguing her last point. Elisabeth Kilner has just transferred from her position as head of the Candystripers at the hospital to the headistress’ post at L.H.T.. Heidi Hantscho is senoir secretary to Micci McDowell who is campaigning for office. Renna Martin has graduated to Youth Advisor of H.E.L.P. and in a recent interview she said, “ Yeah, I tell it like it is.” Cynthia Kahan has just published her first book entitled "The Adventures of a Sensuous Woman.” Pick up a copy at your local newsstand. Joann Saphier is happily married to Mark and has just won the Mom of the Year award. The governor of our Nutmeg State has just appointed Melissa White to the post of Director of Public Health in Fairfield County. Inga Erickson has just been transferred to Mt. Sinai and is presently acting as God’s right-hand person. Carol Sherwood is undergoing psychoanalysis to discover her “ real self.” Lastly, no one has heard from Barbara Koch who received the key to Rippowam in her senoir year. If anyone has continued to borrow Barb’s fur coat and knows of her whereabouts please inform us. Looking back with great pride, it can be clearly seen that the class of 1976 were truly women in action.
AND HERE ARE SOME REACTIONS WE RECEIVED FROM THE CLASS AND FACULTY OF 1976 . . .
