The Bancroft School The Builders

All are architects of Fate, Working in these walls of Time; Some with massive deeds and great, Some with ornaments of rhyme.

Nothing useless is, or low, Each thing in its place is best; And what seems but idle show Strengthens and supports the rest.

For the structure that we raise Time is with materials filled; Our todays and yesterdays Are the blocks with which we build.

Truly shape and fashion these; Leave no yawning gaps between; Think not, because no man sees, Such things will remain unseen ..

Else our lives are incomplete, Standing in these walls of Time, Broken stairways where the feet Stumble, as they seek to climb.

Build today, then, strong and sure, With a firm and ample base; And ascending and secure Shall tomorrow find its place.

Thus alone can we attain To those turrets, where the eye Sees the world as one vast plain, And one boundless reach of sky.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Dedication

It is with affection and appreciation that we, the class of 1981, dedicate our yearbook to a teacher who has challenged our minds and warmed our hearts He possesses the ability to form relationships with his own students as well as many others, each day a smile radiates from his face as he passes through the halls greeting us and animatedly instructs students in his classes. Extensive knowledge accompanies his love and sincere interest in the subject which he teaches, and that interest is perceived by his students.

It is a rare teacher who can acquire the respect and friendship of his students as you have . . .

People are like flowers: they need rain — friendship and they need light — love some need more rain or some need more light but both are essential.

CRAIG MICHAEL STEVENS Good Times, Bad Times, you know we've had our share. . . B.J., D. Butts, Scott B., Brown, J.L., M.B., B.S., T.H., J.G., L.R., Caz, Buff, Retard, L.P., M.L., P.T., To the night brigade, Scott, Trace, Drew, M.A.M., John and Terry, also to J.D., and M.G. which made it all possible.

If you didn't care what happened to me, And I didn't care for you, We would zig zag our way, Through the boredom and pain Occasionally glancing up through the rain, Wondering which of the buggers to blame, And watching for pigs on the wing.

You know I care what happens to you, And I know that you care for me, So I don't feel alone, Or the weight of the stone, Now that I found somewhere safe, To bury my bone.

Any fool knows a dog needs a home, A shelter from pigs on the wing.

Boy don't you worry, You'll find yourself, Follow your heart, And nothing else.

Worcester Civic Center Opens

Finally after 20 years of bureaucratic disorganization and procrastination the Worcester Civic Center has been completed. The building has been redesigned by world renowned architect Barry Johnson, who is here today for the ribbon-cutting ceremonies. Funds for the elaborate edifice were loaned by financier Andrea Wolf and Worcester Bank President Stephanie Boardman. The final stages of the completion went smoothly due to the skillfull negotiations of Civic Center Attorney Christopher Amorello and economic advisor Lawrence Pisto.

After the speeches have been made, a giant mural will be unveiled, done by artist Leif Rosseland who had volunteered his artistic talents especially for the project and who is in the crowd today. Also in the crowd are flutist Kristen Mier, Broadway actor Richard Thomas, and folk singer Nina Bullock; all of whom will perform after the ceremonies.

Emerging from a limousine is African game hunter Scott Bridges with fashion designers Margaret Digregorio and Buffy Nassikas, creators of "Alexandria" jeans.

Paper magnate David Butler looks content discussing business with former classmates Craig Stevens and Curtis Caswell. It seems that David has an exclusive contract to provide paper supplies to the Center. Craig, who is now President of Molson Beer, also under contract to the Center, is to provide beer for sports events. And according to the Civic Center attorney, Curtis, who is owner of Caswell Ltd.(a chain of funeral parlors) will handle the aftermath if rock concerts get a bit unruly.

Before the ceremonies begin, other former classmates are seen discussing future Civic Center attractions. Gathered near the bar are U.S. Olympic gymnastics coach Kim Knutson, tennis star John Luyrink and Celtics center Jeff Groves. Kim hopes to bring gymnastics competitions to the center and John and Jeff will inevitably be playing there. Joining the discussion is New York Cosmos owner, David Levine, and Commissioner of the Women's Basketball League, Linda Csapler.

Photographer Laura Poler has been sent to take pictures of the event for Life Magazine and is busy at her work. Seated near the front, she encounters poet Lynda Shuster discussing declining SAT scores with Bancroft English teacher Dawn Nelson and Emily Dickenson expert Molly Shea.

Brenda Van Fechtmann, Head of the Worcester Foundation for Experimental Biology, nuclear physicist Nancy Bronder and Cornell researcher Liz Ferry are debating the morals and ethics of D.N.A. research, the subject of Liz' latest book.

Just arriving in the Hardy Party Van is none other than Thomas Hardy, creator of the party van, and punk-rocker Michelle LeMaitre. They run into classmate Pam Tilton who is sitting with martial arts expert Mike Branche. Sportswriter Jon McGrain is interviewing Pam, who has become a champion race car driver.

A large crowd has gathered and the ceremonies are about to begin. The platform is filled with politicians who have prepared long, boring speeches.

As Worcester Mayor Joanna Zikos cuts the ceremonial ribbon, the festivities begin. The Class of '81 built the Civic Center. We did it! We are the Builders!

FAST COMPANY Few names have zoomed to the forefront of championship auto racing with the speed and audacity of the blue and white Norton insignia.

And none so clearly symbolizes the strategic planning and precision performance that are the hallmarks both of the Norton-Penske racing team and the people of the Norton Company worldwide.

Norton/Penske drivers, mechanics, designers and pit crews have rolled to two national championships in the past three years.

The effectiveness of the NortonPenske credo—Effort Equals Results — is clearly evident in the Norton Company's off-track endeavors, too.

Today, on a variety of fast tracks the world over, Norton has emerged as:

•World's largest manufacturer of abrasive products •World's leading producer of diamond drilling bits for energy exploration •Fastest growing name in industrial personal protection •Largest domestic producer of medical and scientific tubing •Leaders in insulating sealants and industrial ceramics Look for the Norton name in fast lanes around the world — symbol of a car and company clearly on the move!
