Audio --- 1969 Spartanum Spectaculum Record

In 1969, Mr. Walter Gonet, WG Records, Holyoke MA, made a stereo record of the 1969 Spartanum Spectaculum show, featuring many of our classmates. Most of the music was arranged by Mr. Roy Grundstrom (ELHS 1964). A Taste of Honey was arranged by Mr. Robert Isernio, a local musician and You Were on My Mind by classmate Steve St. Marie.

We've uploaded all the tracks to youtube.com. We hope these tracks bring back some fond memories!
