O ' ht Hc lC T heir time had finally come. ' After three years of very hard work and much time put into planning and fundraising, the ju- nior prorri wris a reality. Having scrounged fifty dollars for a pair of tick- ets, and after frantic hours of prepara- ti ' n, the class of 1986 arrived at the Sficraton Tara in limousines nnd well- polished cars ready for a groat time. Ac- cording to Pe ' fer Ripley, This was the ultimate .social event of the season. ' May 1 7, 1 985 was a night no one will forget, according to Michele Pittman. -Everyone at the Tara had a great time cilihough the dance floor was too small • Four friends, Shawn Moi v, I’tw Ha- dulfi, Mike Burke, and Mnik Ai ‘lly relax as the beginrting uiorn piiors -ft.

The only other complaint was the very forgetable chicken dinner. Said Terry Parker, The food was not as good as it could hove been, but it was a great time otherwise. Most agreed that it was fun dressing up and seeing friends in a formal setting. Said Debbie Borden, The worst part of all was having your picture taken an ev- eryone ' s house. Guys found that tuxedo rentals ran out fast while girls had somewhat less trouble locating gowns. When you add- ed up all of the expenses, the prom turned out to be a very expensive even- ing. Kelly Heffernan estimated that she spent $130 for a dress, $30 for shoes, $5 for a boutinere and $50 for the tick- ets. According to Amy Harrington, It was fun but not worth all the money. The fantasy did not end with leaving the Sheraton Tara. Many couples en- joyed the day after the prom almost as much as the prom itself. In the end, the prom was a tempofory escape from re- ality and the humdrum aspects of school, an escape for a brief while into a world of gowns, tuxedos and limou- sines. Carolyn Curry, describing the evening,, said, It was a night of magic.

Many people model j I themselves after pop rock stars like Prince, Madonna, and Cyndi Lauper, and the students at Braintree High are no exception. At first glance, some of the students look like they might have stepped off the stage at a concert hall. The style is wild with paisley, prints and plaids. On some days, the effect can be blinding. But even in the face of wild dressers, some still stick to the classics, wearing button-fly jeans and concert t-shirts, button-downs and other comfortable clothes. Keelin Smith admitted, I couldn ' t survive without my 501 jeans! How do students feel about the new, wild styles? Margo Jones said, Every- one should have their own styles and not be criticized for them. I love ' em, Tricia Anderson volun- teered. 1986 is a year of music videos, pop rock music, not only in the dress, but also at the under 2 1 nights at night clubs around the South Shore. Clubbing is big this year along with lip synching where people mouth the words to songs like popular singers. Although you are judged by how well you lip synch, that ' s only part of it. According to Patty Bren- nan, Winning a lip synch is like winning a popularity contest, but ever now and then people who deserve to win do win. Nevertheless, even if the lip synchers aren ' t real stars, lip synching gives kids from Braintree and other towns a !, chance to see what it is like to be on stage and win big cash prizes for their ! talent and courage. Many of this season ' s fashions can be found in Boston. According to Heidi ■ Strauss, Newbury Street is the way of [jj culture! Although these fashions are ; trendy, it seems many people dress ' alike. Amy Harrington believed, Each person should express individuality, but J it seems to be ... be a clone, be a clone, ' be a clone! i ' 1986 was the year for being original, i or even for being yourself. With every I new star, a new fashion trend arrived I and with every new trend, there were i Braintree kids in the middle of the fash- ion scene. 10 Fads and Fashions Swatch watches T-shirts were popular, as Karen Ravino advertizes.

D.J. Lisa Lipps from Kiss lOSfm played the music while BHS students danced the evening away in the gym. Organized by the student government, the dance started the year with a burst of school spirit. Debbie Flanders of the student gov- ernment dance committee organized the activity. Planning actually began last June; a permit had to be obtained to use the gym; schedules were approved so no conflict with sports occurred; and a D.J. was hired to play the music and pro- vide the big name draw for the event. Was it worth all the work? Debbie Flanders agreed, It ' s a lot of hard work, but it pays off in the end when everyone has a good time. Lisa Lipps made a hit wit at the dance. It ' s great D.J., declared the well-k personality. Lisa didn ' t step out onto the floor because her favorites are fashioned. I do the Chariesto Twist and sometimes even the polk she admitted. Even though BHS students weren ' t fa- miliar with Lisa ' s favorites, she ' thought, People here seem like fun. Indeed, fun was what allThe kids were having. The crowd of two hundred who ' filled the gym gyrated and party-trained until eleven o ' clock. Most agreed that those who missed the dance lost out on a great experience. Junior Vibba Patel felt, It was the best school dance ever. ' lected tiwefi et ttw d6oif . Mazzoia, and (From laft to right): R Tim O ' Flogherty. Ba koroW, Jot PuMofico darwt. T he crowd arrived, the lights went on, and the big game finally began. Since the be- ginning of school in the fall, the entire student body had anxiously awaited the September 20th Friday night football game. It was opening night! Braintree ' s young and old gathered to watch Braintree vs. Weymouth North in their traditional opening game rivalry. Many came to witness the dedication of the stadium, lights and athletic complex to Mr. H. Frederick Herget, the late ath- letic director. Mr. Schuhwerk, a close friend of Mr. Herget and the current athletic director, gave an emotional speech to the huge crowd. Mr. Carson added his feelings. He said, Fred was a loyal American, a staunch community leader of strong moral fiber, a loyal friend, a great boss and colleague and a man who is truly missed and thought of constantly. Others came to join in the excitement of the first football game of the year. Whatever your reason to be there, you were also there to cheer for Braintree!! With the mammoth crowd sweltering in the hot September dusk, this was clearly the place to be. The tension and heat on the field was nothing compared to the tension in the stands. Many tempers and fists rose be- fore the game was over. Paula Leonard said, Everyone flew to see the fights. They were much more interesting than i the game! |[ The final score of the game, Wey- J mouth North 24 — Braintree 1 3, was a I disappointment to the local fans. Erin I Kelly stated, I really thought we were ' going to win. Mr. Chute, new varsity coach, com- mented on the game. They were big- ger and more physical than we were to- I night. We had a lot of inexperienced j players on the field. ‘ Through all the fights, the slaughter on the turf and the more pleasant memories of the event, we all managed to have a good time.

Ev- eryone was excited about seeing their friends after the long summer vacation. Ev- eryone that is except the freshmen. The high school was huge compared to the two junior highs in town. It was hard to adjust to being the youngest and smallest in the school when just a few months earlier you had been the oldest and the biggest. Not everyone was awed though by the size of the school, one of the largest in the northeast. Janet Raffa admitted, It ' s not as big as I thought it was going to be. Many found it difficult finding their way around the halls with their odd number- ing system though. I only got lost a few times, admitted Paula Churchward. And right from the start, the school routine was different. What a novelty to be able to enter the building and wander around the halls or go to your locker without being regimented and super- vised in the mornings before home- room. It ' s much better than junior high, smiled Laurie Phalon. Kim Carter commented, Everyone said that being a freshman would be the worst thing. But it ' s not bad at all! To be sure the new BHS students en- joy the freedom of choices for lunch, the freedom of movement in the cafete- ria and the opportunities for sports, clubs and activities that don ' t exist in a smaller school.

Likewise, between the nov- elty of being a freshman, and the free- dom and excitement of being an upper- classman, lies the desert of boredom known as sophomore year. Upperclassmen have many responsi- bilities which do not apply to sopho- mores, and vice-versa. Sophomores aren ' t in any great hurry to decide which college they want to attend, or what they plan on doing for the rest of their lives. The minds of sophomores are fixed on the here and now of their school careers. They resent the fact that they have the responsibility to go to assigned studies. As Lauren McCarthy commented, My least favorite part of being a sophomore is not having frees , and not being able to use the Coke machines anytime we want to. Yet sophomores have a sense of se- curity, placing them one step ahead of freshmen. George Keagan remarked, with a sigh of relief, I ' ve got my fresh- man year behind me. Caught between the freshmen and ■ the upperclassmen can, at times, fa- ' tigue a person almost as much as travel- ling through the desert. Impatient to be- { come juniors, sophomores are forced to wait through a seemingly endless year, j The only consolation is that the class i before them got through it, as did the i class before them. In fact, no matter I how bad things have gotten, Braintree ' High School has never lost a class on i their journey through the desert of j sophomore year. | Sophomores Sioux Griffin, Angela Scalisi, Kelly Ronan, Stephanie Bradlee, Karen Hanley, and Jennifer Pacelli gather with Mr. Goldman and his daughter in his I office.

Well, we managed to make the six with a little cooperation from the participants. But as soon as the picture of the six was taken, half of the population of the six ran over and merged with the group patiently waiting in the eight. The eight became rudely deformed and lopsided with the new ad- ditions, but the photographer snapped the picture anyway. Why didn ' t this picture work well? Maybe the class of eighty-six was too picture-happy. Many other schools managed to correctly form numbers much more complicated than a simple eight and a six. There obviously is a method that works. Not at Braintree High though. ■ ' 1 f a picture can tell a thousand words, then this one does. It was a feeble attempt by the class of 1986 to assemble into an eight and a six. The class of 1986 met outside the gym on a sunny day in June at two o ' clock. It promised I to be a great day for outdoor photogra- I phy. In the past class pictures used to be t taken indoors. However the light in the j pit was so poor that only those standing 1 in the front rows showed up. So, the class gathered outside the gym to use the brilliant daylight which allowed more people to be seen. Other schools could correctly form representing their graduation nd have it look good. Why Mrs. Conklin, who tired to organize the unruly seniors commented, ' Trying to get seniors to stand in the correct places was probably one of the most frustrating things I ' ve ever tried to do. Some students didn ' t stay long enough. ”1 left, said Heidi Strauss. Bill Holbrook admitted, I took early. I was at the beach, said Keelin Smith, one of the many students who didn ' t go to school that day. We almost opted not to take the pic- ture when everyone ran from the six to the eight. It says a lot about the class of 1986 though, so we decided to use it after all, said Mrs. Conklin. It is pretty funny, she concluded. 25 through a group of photos during their Publications Seminar class. Donna Short and Karen Tangerlini pre- pare for the opening night football game.

Maybe their systems were thrown totally off balance because going to the cafe or even going home during studies wasn ' t considered cutting , but was called a free peri- od. Rest assured, junior year had finally arrived and most would survive what was possibly the most important year of their lives. What does it mean to be a junior? The answers varied, but all involved the issue of pressure. For Lauren Vogel, junior year meant worrying about SAT ' s. Paula Cuccurullo observed, Being a ju- nior means having less than three weeks to find a long, boring book, read all 300 pages of it, and write a review of it (with a rough draft). Mary-Sarah Berger was heard to com- plain, Being a junior makes me want to drop out of high school. On the other hand, Danielle Palmer had a point. If one more person tells me junior year is the most important year of my life. I ' ll scream! she said. Just because they have more respon- sibilities doesn ' t mean that juniors don ' t have fun. Joe Hernon enjoyed making fun of underclassmen in his sardonic style. Other less abusive activities in- cluded populating the smoking area during lunch and extorting money for the virtually nonexistant class fund with tenacious assistance from advisor Ms. Raymond. No doubt about it; the class of 1987 was ready for anything. And, as Mike Sarney said, most important year or not, We ' re outta here next year! For most, it couldn ' t happen too soon.

Students at Brain- ' tree High work mostly at the nearby : South Shore Plaza, while others are em- : ployed by local businesses. My job at ' the Flately Company has taught me re- i sponsibility. I ' ve also learned how to ; budget my time between work, home- ' work, and friends, stated Keelin Smith. A job often means long hours and usually interferes with social activities. While most kids will admit that the mon- ey is good, others feel that it really does conflict with other activities. Sometimes it is a choice between a job and a sport such is the case of Stacey Hannelburg who said, I don ' t have a job because I do sports and that takes up all my after- noon time. Not all students have or even want jobs. Some are just lazy and want to hang out while others may not be old enough. A job may also be seen as a chore, something one really doesn ' t want to do, but does anyway. As Janice Althouse put it, It pays money. The most popular uses of money from paychecks was for clothes, gas money, food and other essentials. Some have started to save for college since the price of a good education keeps ris- ing drastically. Diane Galvin comment- ed, Lately I ' ve been spending most of my money, but I usually do put it in the bank for college. With the economy booming, the job board is always full of new opportunities for BHS students to get out and become part of the workforce.

I came to improve my writ- ing skills and to see aspects of the pub- lishing world, she said. The class made endless decisions from fundraising to picture selections, coordinating the 240 pages and $13,000 sdollars worth of yearbook throughout the ten months of planning and production. Everyone associated with the book was enthusiastic about the quality of the work that went into Escapes. There was just no doubt that this would be the best yearbook ever produced at Brain- tree High. BHS yearbook for the past five years. Her reasons for taking on such a de- manding job? ' The best people always work on the yearbook staff, she said. It ' s always a challenge, and we keep improving the book ever year. Kids seem to like the new class, espe- cially those who wonted to work on the book but couldn ' t in the past because of their work schedules after school. Some took the class strictly for the cred- it. It ' s fun plus it gives me five credits, admitted Steven DeNicola. Others took it because they wanted to take an art course where drawing and painting weren ' t involved. All came to learn what it ' s like to put together a Laura Kirwin carefully measured the pictures she was working with for her page on Seniormania. Beth Murphy, Barb Hoizman, Kierann Agnew, Pam Young, Sharon Brett, Lisa Sandonato, Mary Berger and Jim Vail work on a deadline. Leanne Chase, Corrine Hatcher, and Tracey Parker have a conference over what pictures to use. The window corner drawing table was the spot where Keelin Smith, Amy Harrington and Heidi Strauss often worked. Jim Vail pointed out people in the photo as Lisa Sandonato and Doug Bregoli looked on. Mary-Sarah Berger sat deep in thought as to how to write the introduction to Escapes. • reating a yearbook is a lot of hard work, but when you ' re • finished and you look 1 through it knowing that you lad something to do with producing a )reat book, it ' s a great feeling of ac- ;omplishment, Tracy Parker summed jp the motivation behind all those who yorked on Escapes, the 1986 year- )ook. This was the first year in recent mem- )ry that a regularly scheduled art class vas responsible for the production of j he yearbook. Both the class, Publica- ions Seminar, and the after school ! ' earbook group were advised by Ms. ij-onklin who has been in charge of the Yearbook Staff 33 Homv ict 21,1985 Elisa Youngworth jokes with a resident of the Braintree Man- or Nursing Home.

Eileen Devin holds her arm high to let the blood circulate after giving blood. T hey give their time and ener- gy for worthy causes — for free. In 1985, fhose who vol- unteered at Braintree High were able to obtain blood for fhe Ameri- can Red Cross, and money for Oxfam (aid for the Ethiopians). They also helped make life easier for the elderly and sick at the various nursing homes and hospitals in the Braintree area. The blood was to be put to use by the Red Cross. For students, this was an ex- cellent chance to be a hero, and possi- bly save someone ' s life. The blood drive means more to me than the proms and the parties. We are saving lives and sharing our health, commented bloodmobile organizer Jeanne Raffa. When it was all over, the donors were able to breathe more easily. I survived, said Kristen McGrath. A fast was held at Braintree High to obtain money to aid the Ethopians. Stu- dents and teachers were encouraged to give their money to Oxfam, instead of buying lunch. This venture was quite a success. People often ask me why I collect money for people in Ethopia when there are starving people in America. My an- swer is: I collect and raise money with the hope that the money raised will help provide the knowledge the Ethopians need to one day be able to help them- selves. In America, we have the knowl- edge to help the starving, we just don ' t put it to use, noted Joe Powers, who organized the event. Other students volunteer outside the schools, in the many nursing homes and hospitals surrounding in the Braintree area. These pupils organize activities, deliver and read mail, show movies, and provide companionship for the elderly and sick who stay in the homes and hos- pitals. Volunteering in a nursing home was well worth my time and effort. I didn ' t believe I ' d enjoy it, but it turned out to be fun. If was a greaf experience, de- clared Karen Duffy. 35 ■ 9 Japanese ex- change student Reiko Okigami was an active par- ticipant in Braintree sports and activities during her stay in the United States. Personal problems caused Flor- enzo Cellamare, a stu- dent from Italy, to unex- pectedly cut short his stay in Braintree. Sonia Bargueho Martinez got the most from her visit to the US. Her smile made many students smile in re- turn. SPANISH EXCHANGE STUDENTS Back row: (left to right) Jose A. Mar- tin (Pep), Miguel Ruiz de Elvira, Vio- leta Perez.

It all seems so familiar; the school and the people. But for Brain- tree ' s exchange s tudents it was a whole new experience. The food was always fast. Said Reiko Okigami, People in America are friend- ly and very nice. The big difference be- tween Japan and America is the food. Most of it is fast. After the first week of being here most of the Spanish exchange students were bored from eating endless fast food. Pepe Martin, an exception ad- mitted, Megusta McDonald ' s la mas, which means, ' I like McDonald ' s the best. ' He was one of the few exchange students who still enjoyed McDonald ' s when he left to return to Spain. What was the biggest difference be- tween America and Spain? Most of the Spanish exchange students agreed that the way of life, and especially school life were the main areas of difference. Marisa Munoz stated, I came to Amer- ica because I wanted to learn English in the U.S. and to know your country. To see the U.S., to improve our Eng- lish by taking part in the exchange, and to see the autumn leaves in New Eng- land which are known all over the world are some of the reasons I wanted to make the trip, Kristina Lindstrom, their teacher and instructor added. Sonia Martinez was a Spanish ex- change student who came and stayed for the entire school year. In summing up her impression of America Sonia said, I ' ve only been in America a short time. It has been enough time to know how much I like it. I think this is a great experience in my life: knowing the American people, an American school, American customs and American holi- days like Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas. I ' m glad to be here, and I won ' t be happy to leave. Exchange Students 37 ith the school spirit down and out, the Student Government spearheaded and organized a spirit week at B.H.S. Tradi- tionally known as Wamp Week, each day was engineered to include a new and exciting activity. From Hick day to the big Homecoming Dance on Satur- day night after the football game the week was packed with action. Many students joined in for the cos- tume days which included Hawaiian day, backwards day, sports day, and class color day. Irene Murphy said, It was really well organized by the commit- tee and promoted school spirit. There was inspiration which had been lacking in the past.” The school had seemed to get into the swing of things and every- one was primed for the big Friday pep rally. On Friday the traditional paper spirit chain was started. Juniors and the sen- iors vied for the longest chain. The usual tradition was broken and the juniors took it away with a tremendous length of chain. Kelly Lydon, a committee member commented, I helped to co- ordinate the ideas for the different days of Wamp Week. The spirit chain was a great success. Even though the Juniors won, it showed that everyone had a will- ingness to get involved.” The pep rally was a crowdpleaser with the cheerleaders, pep squad and major- ettes performing to the enthusiastic au- dience. Organized and hosted by the new student government advisor, Mr. McDonough, the spectacle also includ- ed SG president Neil DiMartinis along with the varsity football coach Mr. Chute and tri-captains J.P. Doherty, Jim- my MacDonald, and Gary Quintilianti. Each class sat together and compet- ed to see who could make the most noise and show the most spirit. The stands, filled with reds, yellows, greens and blues by class, were a novel innova- tion t his year. The pep rally was great. There was so much more spirit than seen in the past. It was the best pep rally because everyone cheered for the performers and it was much more orderly,” com- mented Deanna Cawley. Tradition was the word. In Braintree ever since anyone can remember there has been an ongoing tradition of Wamp Week before Homecoming Day. But this year was special for it topped them all for enthusiasm and spirit. 38 Pep Roily and Wamp Week Debbie Flanders and Carolyn Curry had their act together to Hawaiian Day during Wamp Week. Paul Salvaggio had the perfect sunglasses to capture the South Seas spirit. The enthusiastic junior cheering section made plenty of noise during the Pep Rally cheer off. Seniors made the most of their opportunity to make noise during the rally. Tri-captain Jim MacDonald urged the crowd to attend the homecoming game with Dedham while captains Gary Quintiliani and JP Doherty watched. The cheerleaders previewed their award winning pyramid formation. Pep Rally and Wamp Week 39 u Tammy Wyman accepted the trophy for the best float from the representative of the Booster Club. The stadi- um was full of fans anxious for a Braintree victory. Soph- omore queen candidates Aimee Barron, Heidi Holland and Donna Valencia rode the parade route in a convert- ible. Faces on the floats were (top row): Jim Fitzgerald, Kristen McGrath, Pam Morrissey, Jeff Handwerk. (bot- tom row): Andrea Olson, Chrissy Legg, Michael Sarney, Julie Fiore. 40 Homecoming Parade %t il tvoi. amp week was a great suc- cess and the homecoming parade on Saturday, October 26 turned out to be an even I better finale to the week than anyone I had hoped. School pride and spirit was unbelieveable as the freshmen, sopho- mores, juniors and seniors struggled to get their floats assembled in time for the kickoff of the parade. As Danielle Palmer explained, Spirit is alive and well at Braintree High after years of hibernation.” Preparations for the class floats be- gan with planning during after school meetings, but the real work got under way at 9AM on homecoming Saturday at the parking area at Sunset Lake. At 12:30 when all the participants were in place, the floats, cars and marching units made their way down Franklin street and onto the access road. The flatbed trailers could scarcely hold all the enthusiastic participants. The freshmen had a large turnout. Said Michelle Williams, Everyone worked hard on the float and we had a blast!” Each float deserved to win, but only one could. The juniors led by Tammy Wyman claimed their prize from the Booster Club and a check toward the class treasury. Winter Wonderland was the winning theme this year, but the sen- iors with A Haunted Homecoming” came in second place. Candyland” by the sophomore class came in third and the freshmen finished fourth with Wamp Spirit.” Tom Fisher, Joe Lynch and Andrea McDonough picked up checks for their treasuries from the Booster Club. After the homecoming queen nomi- nees had made their way around the track the preparations for the game be- gan. Dedham and Braintree faced off for their traditional rivalry. Braintree was buoyed by the spirit in the stands and the exuberant homecoming crowd. Pam Young observed, There was so much spirit in the crowd. That helped the home team to a victory.” Braintree earned a much-deserved victory over Dedham by a score of 1 2-8. In his first varsity start, Stephen Powilatis scored the game ' s first touchdown. Braintree continued to play well and just before the half ended junior Andy Kim scored again for Braintree. It was the perfect homecoming. Per- fect weather, an enthusiastic crowd, great floats and a victory in the stadium. The junior class broke a long-standing tradition by winning the float competi- tion. Junior ' s rule!” said Julie McKen- na. And best of all, Braintree spirit was alive and well. The freshmen showed a lot of spirit: Elena North turned bock to watch Jill Donahue, Lynnette Dermety, Joanne Flynn, Sue Chopourian and Kim Wilson. Leanne Aucoin ' s sign was an omen of things to come in the game with Dedham.

[ 42 Homecoming Dance or years, the tradition of a homecoming dance to cele- brate a football win or recover from a loss has been a tradition engraved in stone. This year was no dif- ferent at BHS as crowds of students and their dates swarmed into the gym on October 26. The Wamps had earlier de- feated Dedham 1 2-8 after a spectacular homecoming parade on a perfect fall afternoon. Considering the opinions of the par- ticipants, it seems that the Homecom- ing dance this year was a big improve- ment on those of the recent past. Every- one noticed the transformation that the cheerleaders worked on the gym, turn- ing it into Oz in keeping with the dance Itheme Wizard of Oz”. Danielle Palmer enjoyed the dance im- mensely with her date John Tuerck (84). Danielle said, The dance was 100% better than last year, absolutely. The cheerleaders deserve a lot of credit. They did a wonderful job with the dance and especially with the music and deco- rations.” Jean Materazzo was very straightfor- ward about her night at the dance with Doug Pettingell. Said Jean, It was awe- some — what else can I say?” As the dancers walked down the yel- low brick roads of the gym and viewed the Emerald City at their end, the fresh- men, sophomores, juniors and seniors prepared to crown their homecoming queens. Winning for the freshman class was Laurie Phalon. Crowned for the class of 1988 was Donna Valencia. Sue Aiello was the queen of the junior class. And seated in the senior throne was Jonna Mercon. The queen, in the finest Oz tradition, was seated at the end of her own rain- bow as her date stood at her side and her attendants surrounded her. Though the homecoming dance isn ' t by nature as formal as a prom — the price is very reasonable and no food is served — the dancers were dressed in style and with flair. One dapper fellow was spotted wearing a paisley tuxedo! As the crowds drifted out of the dance, two things may have been on their minds. One was how good the dance was and the other was, wait until next year. Tom Hannigan a nd Amy Brundige share a dance. Chris Pricio occupied the throne before the rightful owner took over.

I 44 Halloween alloween came with ghosts and goblins and things that go bump in the night and also with ... a chainsaw killer? Yes, a chain- saw killer and other strange and won- Iderful beings wandered the halls of BHS with the exotic spirits of October 31st, making the ordinary high school much more colorful than usual. Following close on the exuberation of Wamp Week, students continued their binge of school spirit for another day with great spirit and creativity. Even those who didn ' t care to wear a costume partici- pated by spraying their hair bright col- ors. Many costumes were inspired by TV and movie characters or by music and fashion trends. More than one Son- ny Crockett or David Bowie was found wandering the halls and classrooms and in general the punk movement swept the school in many forms. Even the religious life was well repre- sented. When asked why she dressed as a priest, Jennifer Pacelli replied, ”1 want- ed people to see the real side of me. One of the more colorful characters in evidence was MarySarah Berger ' s punk teddy bear Psycho. He was entered in the costume contest and was disap- pointed that he didn ' t win. She was somewhat mollified when she admitted, He wasn ' t really wearing a costume. He dresses like that all of the time. Those who did win the contest picked up free BHS t-shirts, caps and a 1986 yearbook for the top prize winner, Vin- nie DeRusso. Other winners included: Debbie Rawson, Dorothy Bonner, Joe Ri- ley and Dave Cronin. Kris Mills was upset about what she considered a lack of spirit. I mean peo- ple did dress up and a lot more people dressed up than last year. But I wish it was more like it was a junior high. Every- one dressed up down there, she ex- plained. She was correct that more students dressed up for the occasion this year. Halloween was a good opportunity to let go and get involved. As Paula Cuc- curullo observed, Halloween is a day when everyone can be different. They can fantasize and create new identities for themselves. Besides, it ' s a good ex- cuse to have fun. II Mr. Fredericks disarms Arab Dave Brandi. Tina Ranieri played the typical tourist. Liz Stella certainly wasn ' t recognizable beneath her camel mask.

Senior quarterback Curt Allen didn ' t have to carry brother Craig on the football field where Craig more than held his own. In the pit though it was just some brotherly fun and a free ride for Craig. Ellen and Janet Duncan were typical of the very close relation- ships twins carry with them throughout life. Senior John Campagnone and junior Danielle were one of the few pairs of brother-sister twins at BHS this year. 46 Twins y ou ' d think there would be plenty of advantages to be- ing a twin. Being able to fool your teachers by switching places, having someone who is even jcloser to you than a typical sister or ' brother and all those clothes that you jean share. Most twins are willing to talk about the pros and cons of being a twin. Said T erry Parker, We share a lot more than regular sisters and our relationship helps us both through rough times. And the downside of being a twin? ”1 hate it when people call me by my sis- ter ' s name and then feeling embar- ' assed, they try to get out of it by saying ‘Well, you ' re both the same anyway. ' Tracy and I are not the same. We are two different people, concluded Terry. Tracy Parker chimed in with her as- sessment. Sometimes being a twin isn ' t easy. People mix us up and we easily get each other into trouble. But I have an advantage only other twins have. I al- ways have someone to talk to and someone to do things with. Most of all, I have a friend forever! Ellen Duncan, a senior commented on some of the negative aspects of being a twin, Because we are twins, we have to share a bedroom. We have the same friends, the same job, go to the same school and we are almost always to- gether. Also people often try to com- pare us to each other which can be an- noying because we are two different people. Ellen continued, The good part is my sister always stands by me (or almost always), and I have someone to tell my troubles to. Janet Duncan added her thoughts. Its difficult having your twin constantly review and comment on what you do, say or how you act. And we do tend to get on each others nerves because we are constantly together. Being a twin is good because we share the same friends, interest and classes. There is a special bond between twins that isn ' t shared by regular sis- ters, Janet concluded. Twins Tracy and Terry Parker were two distinct persons, but teachers and students often confused their names and personalities. If you thought you were seeing double it was seniors Peter and David Naughton. Sponsored by Andrew Esther Parker 47 What is a typical senior night- mare which strikes without • regard to level or rank, guar- anteed to send panic through the heart of those it strikes? A. The college application process, fol- lowed by the long wait to discover at which college a student has been accepted. Approximately 76%{54%-4 year, 22%-2 year) of this year ' s seniors will go on to higher education after graduating from B.H.S. Some of these students will leave the state and travel to schools in Sunny California, the Big Apple, as well as other states. Kids look to going to college as the point of breaking away from home which is the reason why many leave the state. But this breaking away is not all that it ' s cracked up to be when you think of all the work to come. The process of applying to colleges was a long and difficult one for the 1 986 seniors. No one easily forgot the proce- dure of applications, interviews, college visits, letters of reccomendation, and fi- nancial aid meetings which had to be dealt with before they were accepted. It was enough to send a senior screaming for mercy. But many of the teachers at BHS were quite willing to help any stu- dent who asked. Ms. Forde, who included sections oni writing applications in her classes hadl this to say; Keep your head down and! keep moving. Her Humanities teaching partner, Mr. Raiss, felt, ' The most important thing ini life is to know Thyself . Guidance counselor Mr. King told stu- k dents to try for admission. Never find yourself saying ' I should have ' but rath- ! er ' I did ' . p The 1986 seniors provided living|U proof for underclassmen that the col-l lege process is not fatal. f 48 Sponsored by Mr. and Mrs. Daniel and Mary Morin Students use the extensive resources of the guidance suite to research colleges to which they might apply.

Sponsored by Joe and Louis Youngworth 49 T hey do not stand out in a crowd, and they do not wear a sign around their necks. Al- most everyone would love to be a part of this prestigious group, but the membership is exclusive. The ticket to being accepted into this club is simple — just work hard all through high school. If you have the magic numbers, you ' re in. Perhaps surprisingly not many stu- dents agree with the class rank system as a indicator of intelligence. Stephanie Callaghan commented, As far as academics is concerned, the rank system is accurate, but it fails to consider knowledge acquired through extracurricular activities. These students are involved in the National Honor Society. Most, like Julie Walsh, have been involved in other af- terschool sports and activities as well. For example, Julie participated in both varsity and junior varsity sports at BHS. Mike Dewsnap ' s main activity was performing music, both jazz and classi- cal pieces. He enjoyed being a member of the orchestra, but his true love was jazz, and his work on the keyboard as a member of the Jazz ensemble became a legend at BHS. Those who fall outside of this elite group must wonder how it feels to be one of the top ten students in a large high school like Braintree. Karin Ricci ad mitted, Being in the top ten of my class is important, but I am just happy know ing that I did my best. The personality traits and philos ophies that sustain the top ten are c little surprising. Said Steve Goldman j Hard work does not cut it. I have thee I to get good grades by working smartlyl rather than by working hard. I Mike Dewsnap admitted to being a? perfectionist. I ' ll probably have an ul-! cer by the time I ' m 18 , he said. F For most of the top ten, Braintree al- lowed them to be the best. Like many students in the top ten, Julie Walsh and Karin Ricci spent most of their free periods in the media center study area doing their projects, reports and homework. Jen Wright could always be counted on for an appropriate response. Stephanie Callaghan, a potential engineering major when she graduates from BHS con- centrated her efforts in upper level courses. Steve Goldman has a knack for doing just the right amount of work needed to meet his objectives. Like many of the students in upper levels, he became proficient in managing his time expertly. 50 Top Ten Seniors IP In order, the top ten after the first marking period were: Jennifer Wright, Elizabeth Cole- man, Kathryn Fiore, Robert Phillips, Stephanie Callaghan, Karin Ricci, Steve Goldman, Deb- orah MacDonald, Juliana Walsh, Mike Dews- nap. f Ijj Top Ten Seniors 51 o they hate us? Or are they ■ really trying to improve our lives? These are some com- mon questions students ask about the faculty at Braintree High. Kids are a constant source of frus- tration and delight. Unpredictable and often loony, they never cease to amaze me with their inventiveness and the kindness they are capable of. They can also drive me to drink when the moon is full!” stated Ms. Forde. Teachers, believe it or not, do under- stand what teenagers are going through during their four years of high school. Mrs. Cobb had some questions for each student. First, do you know who you really are and what you honestly want out of life? Secondly, do you un- derstand what life is all about or are you satisfied to see the world through a tv screen and ' People ' magazine? Finally, are you planning to make the world a better place for your having spent time here? If not, why not?” Mrs. Cobb fully understands the diffi- culty of her questions. Being a teen- ager is quite a paradox. It is often a question of how to be a arch-conserva- tive and radical at the same time. It i; also a question of how to assert one ' : individuality and personal freedorr (which is all important). But, one ofter,. gives in to the tremendous pressure tc do what everyone else is doing and tc make fun of those who are truly inde pendent thinkers.” But what do teachers think about the kids at Braintree High in particular? Mrj Kendall summed it up best as he dropped a grenade down a student ' ; shirt. My God! This feels good!” he, shouted. Mr. Kendall got a real thrill from pretending to incite Joe Hernon to action by dropping a grenade down his shirt. This feels good, he shouted in delight. Ms. Cobb stapled an assignment to Mary-Sarah Berger ' s head, ensuring that her homework would improve. Ms. Publicover had no problem in getting her sophomore English class ' s attention when it came to having their picture taken. t I Hiding behind your dictionary is often a very safe refuge when your teacher is upset about your dedication to duty. Mr. Grant would never hurt a fly. It took a lot of coaxing to get Kim Nugent and Cheryl Daiute to cry for mercy once they stopped laughing. Joe Mahoney, Mr. Pizzano and Dave McDonough demon- strated three attitudes typical of BHS: con- fused, confident and serious. A practiced pointing gesture was one of Mr. Nolan ' s atten- tion getters. It sure worked on Bob Johnson. Get skunked, l aughed Ms. Forde as she held the class mascot poised over the head of junior Steve Manfredonia. Rich Carrington, senior Metco student, helped out Ms. Buckley with her crowd control techniques.

Diane Gustafson, senior cheerleader was all set with a uniform jacket and sweater from her wardrobe. Well dressed with her blue and white sweater and jacket was pep squad performer Katie Laing. A very popular and common piece of BHS paraphenalia was the tra- ditional class ring customized to the taste and pock- etbook of the wearer. Some students laid out as much as $200 for this piece of school history. Keith Eden went for the short sleeve version of the Class of 1986 t-shirt. Pep squad members Jean Ma- tarazzo and Chrissy Kerrigan show off their sweaters and pompoms. Sean Rizzo, Sue Colligan, Chrissy Somers, Kathy Mattuchio, Carla Ryder, Rich Maz- zola, Jen Coleman, and Paul Salvaggio display the various paraphenalia.

Pins were also marketed widely. The Junior class prophetically hawked shak- ers and homecoming pins labeled Eat Dirt, Braintree High Homecoming, sup- porting the Braintree football team which went on to beat Dedham in the homecoming matchup. These were snapped up for $1 a piece. The Pep Squad offered a jewelry option to the Juniors ' pins. Their ' s, which were shaped as footballs and also priced at $1 , were a novel item.

The yearbook was typical in its atti- tude toward raising money. Why did they do it? We need the money, con- fessed Mrs. Conklin. Some of the paraphenalia worn by BHS students was not a part of a fund raising scheme. Members of varsity team always wear team jackets to school, and on game days jerseys are worn by team members as a way of building up school spirit.

You were most probably a freshmen, and the giant corriders and nany hallways terrified you. As you ad- ' anced in grades this fear seemed stu- )id — but you still had fears, they just nade more sense. To all students, there vas an insidious fear of flunking any ;ourse. Applications to college could send iny senior into a mad frenzy. For most eniors, the greatest fear was of gradu- ation or the lack thereof. Or, to some j)thers, it was fear of entering the adult I vorld. Freshmen were afraid of getting lost. ..tf «‘®‘‘ ‘ . - Of xf ux- or walking to the non-existent fourth floor. And Humanities 1 OA could stop a sophomore ' s heart. Machiavelli terrior- ized most Juniors. And Mr. LeRoy ' s wrath scared even the bravest of stu- dents. Other student fears were not quite as normal. ”1 am scared to death of erasing a computer disc, admitted Lisa San- donato. Mr. Kendall agreed, I would die if all the computers went down at once. General consensus also showed a mortal fear of cafeteria food. Over- heard in the lunchroom: Aarughh! It moved! ' It ' s alive! Somebody save me! Is it cancerous? When Heidi Strauss gets out of an ele- vator she sometimes wonders where she is. I can sometimes almost hear Rod Serling with the Twilight Zone mu- sic. I ' m always afraid I won ' t be in this zone. Keelin Smith ' s phobia is a bit more down to earth. Centipedes, grimaced Keelin. I hate centipedes. A creature that is no more than two inches long can wreak havoc in a five- foot-four human.

Adults may have a hard time recalling the paralizing feelings that ac- company falling in love and having that most common of teenage maladies — a crush. Crushes are more commonly found throughout the wide-eyed members of the freshman class. Girls in dazes dis- creetly try to follow senior boys, but are given away by their girlish giggles which become hysterical laughter if their prey happens to catch them watching. Heads pop out from behind lockers hop- ing to catch a glimpse of the object of their affections and the subject of their dreams. Senior athletes are commonly the ob- ject of crushes that are otherwise re- served for famous persons who are to- tally out of reach. Records, posters, videos and movies consume most of the typical teenage girls ' money as artifacts that contain the object of her crush pile up. Fan maga- zines are also part of the process of ad- miring a distant idol and learning about the facets of personality that attract and repel. Boys are not immune to distant wor- ship either. It ' s hard to worship a impos- sibly beautiful or brainy girl, hard to make easy conversation and harder still to smoothly ask for a date. Being a teenager has never been easy, but it is a time of growing, of dreaming, of exploring, and of finding ways to get beyond the stage of the crush and into a more adult response to relationships.

You savor each I taste until finally you are satisfied. What was it that captured your attention so ' jcompletely? America ' s favorite snack Wfood — the candy bar. You have just ' ' enjoyed a small fraction of the forty |pounds of chocolate consumed by each , ’person in America each year. ;■! At Braintree High candy comes from the durable candy machines located outside the cafeteria, but America ' s fas- cination with candy is more far reach- ing. It is found in all shapes, sizes and prices in stores from Bloomingdale ' s to the local 7-1 1 , at prices from fifty cents to hundreds of dollars. Why do people like it so much? First, the taste is incredible. The feeling of having chocolate melting in your mouth is overpowering. As Stacey Bloom says, It is like heaven on earth. It is almost sinful to eat chocolate and candy bars, especially when just the day before the dentist warned against the eating of chocolate. The bad aspect of eating candy with braces is that it gets stuck in your teeth. According to Jen Diggen, It becomes a very sticky situa- tion. The satisfaction one receives from eating candy is amazing. After school at B.H.S., the most congested area is right near the candy machines. Members of sports teams love candy for the quick energy it provides. For those just going home, that candy bar serves as a great relief after a long day at school. As Lauren Vogel describes, would die without my Snickers bar. Ms. West and Kathy West chuckle over what popped up from their typewriter.

Fitzgerald and Family 61 I t started slowly, but little by little the piles grew. At last the greatest gift that could be given was assembled on the floor of the classical foyer — gifts of the heart. Braintree High students gave unlimited smiles this year for Christmas as part of the toy drive of Operation Santa Claus. The hundreds of presents collected through the toy drive guaranteed that hundreds of children at St. Coletta ' s and at area hospitals would be able to enjoy the holidays with wrapped presents all their own. Said Student Government adviser, Mr. McDonough who made a stirring fr rM icJ th fr rlriv o plea which helped to push the toy drive to new heights of generosity, It was just one example of the spirit of the giving- ness of the students and faculty at BHS.” Senior Debbie Flanders was in charge of the organization of the event. Thanks for everyone ' s help in making it a Merry Christmas for all the needy children in the area, said Debbie. Aimee Barron commented, I think it ' s wonderful that we can help other people feel the happiness that we en- joy. Denise Galante voiced similar feel- ings. I think it ' s nice that students bring in gifts for other kids who are less fortu- nate than themselves. Senior Tom Fisher said, It ' s good that everyone helps. Students are finally ap- preciating what they had when they were younger and realizing that all of the kids, now, should be able to have the same things. Operation Santa Claus is a blast, said Matt White. Christmas spirit is flowing in the atmosphere right now. Without a doubt the toy drive and the other holiday events of the week were a big success: the holiday concerts, the door decorating contests and the gen- eral aura of good will, all marked the season as a special one at BHS. Senior Debbie Flanders was in charge of the Operation Santa Claus toy drive. Lots of helping hands were there to wrap toys and games for distribution to local hospitals and residential schools to children who needed a smile for Christmas; Kierann Agnew, Joe Lynch, Stacey Donnelly, Tom Gunn, Mary Ellen Gunn, and Matt White. 62 Mr. and Mrs. William Morgan I Candy Antonelli proudly displayed her homeroom door. Sponsored by the Booster Club, the door decorating contest drew many elegant entries. Winning the top prizes for their decorations were: A346 — 1 0$, C 1 0 1 — $30, and the grand prize winner Cl 04 — $50. Mi- chelle Sousa was one of many who enjoyed the spirit of giving in the an- nual toy drive. Santa mode an ap- pearance outside of B 141 on De- cember 19th. The chaos of the clas- sical foyer was eventually sorted out through the efforts of the Operation Santa Claus committee who sorted and wrapped presents for distribu- tion. Mary Ellen Gunn carefully cuts the wrapping paper for the super ' work of this homeroom ' s decorating I committee. John and Marie Foley 63 The lift off of the space shuttle is certainly an incredi- ble sight to see. Danielle Palmer and Suzanne DiPiero spend most of their free time practicing the flute. Doug Richards and his father get their camera ready for the lift off. The Project Prove staff await their customers: (Left to right) K. Cummings, T, Jensen, K. Gannon, K. Gordon, J.

Practice makes per- ect” is the motto of Danielle Palmer ind Suzanne DiPiero, two superb flute ' layers. Braintree High has a future sen- itor as Joe Powers attends Student government Day. Project Prove is quick- becoming a popular eating spot imong B.H.S. faculty. Everyone is inique, but these people have special alents which put them above the rest. In July, 1985, Doug Richards and his amily attended the launching of the pace shuttle. Photographing space has been a favorite pastime of Doug ' s fa- ther, whose photo of Apollo XVII in 1972 made the cover of TIME maga- zine. When Danielle Palmer and Suzanne DiPiero began to play the flute eight years ago, they did not think that it would still be with them in high school. Suzanne plans to continue playing the flute after high school, as she explains, Everyone has a hidden talent which should be revealed and shared with soci- ety. The flute has brought them into various competitions, where the pres- sure is overwhelming. confessed Dan- ielle. On April 4, 1986, a B.H.S. senior be- came a Constitutional Officer at the State House. Joe Powers was elected by his classmates to represent B.H.S. at Student Government Day. This honor is special to Joe because he plans to major in Political Science in college and this would be great practice for him. It is often said that you have to travel far for a four-star restaurant. Now, the B.H.S. has only to go to the E wing to enjoy a superb gourmet meal prepared by the Special Needs kids. Project Prove enables these kids to prepare a full course lunch, such as hamburgers and hotdogs. Doug Richards and his father display the extra-terrestrial cola cans which they were able to take home. Joe Powers represents B.H.S. at the annual Student Government Day at the State House. Special People and Extra Efforts 65 The town of Mason is locat- m ed on Eagle Lake. The town r of Canton is west of Mason. Dexter is east of Richmond, but west of Sinclair and Canton. Assum- ing all these towns are in the United States, which town is farthest west? A. Mason B. Dexter C. Canton D. Sinclair E. Richmond — correct It ' s a Saturday morning, but the BHS corridors are filled with students. WHY? If you looked in one of the classrooms you would find approximately twenty ju- niors and s eniors anxiously seated with their number two pencils, complete with new erasers, and various good luck charms. The proctor at the front of the room repeats, yet again, Do NOT open the test booklets until I say to do so. All this ceremony could only be for one thing — the SAT ' s. Some regard the SAT ' s with a kind of mystical reverance, others as a nui- sance, a fate worse than death, or, most realistically, a ticket to college. 2. If the average of seven x ' s is 7, what is the average of fourteen x ' s? A. 1 7 B. 1 2 C. 1 D. 7-correct E. 14 What do most students think about the SAT test? College, Steve Powilatis said as- tutely. Fear, groaned Lauren Vogel. Nausea, concurred Danielle Palm- er. It was the rare student who walked into the SAT testing with confidence. Senior Chris Davies felt this was a majo factor why certain students didn ' t do a: well as they had hoped. Said Chris, Thi SAT ' s are a stupid thing to use to deter mine who gets into the college of thei choice. No one can know everything oi the test and there is too much pressun to do well. Suppose you have troubh concentrating? It ' s not a fair system. ' Some colleges and universities hat the same idea. Most schools did no place as much credit with the SAT ' s a they might once have done. But, as an ' senior would ' ve told you, the SAT ' were a must for someone applying ft college. All those hours of classroom work paid off ft some BHS students who scored well on the SAT ' Joe Tack and Paul Agnew scored the highest of BHS seniors who took the test this year. 66 Debbie Gary MacDonald Class of 1 986 67 1 FILEN .

Money was spent, and people stocked their re- frigerators. What was the fuss about? COKE! When new coke came out people pan- icked. The good, old, familiar taste was gone, and few ap- preciated the new secret for- mula. People started drinking Pepsi, and the new Slice. It looked as if the Coca-Cola Company had made a major mistake but with the help of phonecalls, and letters and lots of complaining the ques- tions of What happened , were answered. Coke, the original was back on the shelves; this time named as Classic Coke. This was one of the topics of B.H.S.

LEANNE MARIE AUCOIN Joanne Cardello chose clas- sic coke because new coke is too sweet and tastes like Pepsi. Shelly Cedrone picked old coke because, new coke tastes gross.

This year proposals to ban this music media were sug- gested throughout Braintree and surrounding towns. These suggestions were brought up because of the kinds of videos that were be- ing seen. Some thought that there was too much violence in the songs. This violence was seen by some as detre- mental to children ' s minds. Some students aware or that became aware of this ban- ning had their opinions to this subject . . . Music is an uncontrollable medium and it ' s impossible to limit it. said Ken Norling. To go along with this last statement Lisa Maffrici feels, M.T.V. shouldn ' t be banned, it alone cannot force people to do something they wouldn ' t do anyway. Steve Goldman thought for a while then decided on this, Censorship of art and cul- ture is wrong especially of M.T.V. where you can choose to watch it or not. Finally this question was compared to many other big- ger questions, because its an- swer was one dealing with the people ' s rights. Vinnie DiPiero said, Banning M.T.V. is against our constitutional rights, spe- cifically in the first amend- ment. JIM BRANDI ROBERT O.

CARRINGTON ERIC CARUSO 72 Sponsored by Bob and Barbara Caruso i PERRY ELLIS iiUii The hottest sound in fe- male pop music this year was Madonna. From her music to her tour, to her revealing clothes and pictures. Madon- na became a household name. Walking through the halls of Braintree High you could see her influence spreading. Walkman ' s played Into the Groove while kids strolled around wearing lace from head to foot. Glittering jewelry became popular. Girls started buying gold earring crosses, not to mention crosses that hung from the neck to the belly-button. Styles of clothes changed. No more preppy look for B.H.S. There were leather miniskirts, topped by a tank top, covered with, of course, a black or white lace shirt. Girls al so bought the glittering boots that simulated those worn by Madonna in Desper- ately Seeking Susan.” Kids went around the suberban cinemas to catch a glimpse of her movie, or they just turned on MTV to see her videos. Those fortunate enough saw her in concert: at the Worces- ter Centrum. No matter how kids, and adults felt about this singer, she had arrived. Mad- dona became a popular fig- ure and will be for a while. When the class of ' 86 looks back. Madonna is sure to be one star who will be remem- bered and one who will trigger many fun memories.

COOPER BARBARA CURTIN BOB da ROSA IRIS GALE COHEN EVANNE MARIE COTONE PAULA J. DAILEY 74 SENIORS -NIGHT m C. KIMBERLY COLE MICHAEL D. CREAMER ? Students and faculty of B.H.S. heard a more somber note in music this year, LIVE AID showed everyone that not all are as fortunate as we are. Almost everybody had a t.v. or radio tuned into this huge music spectacular which lasted hours both here in the U.S, and abroad in England. For one of the first times in history one event caused thousands to be affected. Ka- tie Fiore did not see it all but what she saw she liked. What I saw was really good, she said. Live Aid also brought many of the biggest stars into our homes. It also showed the re- unions of disbanded groups such as Black Sabbath, and Led Zeppelin. For some this was the first time reality struck Braintree. It was also the start of kids giv- ing up their time and efforts and money to support causes such as the Ethiopian funds and others. Kids bought albums from the artists who performed in the concert. Some of the roy- alties went to good causes. Live Aid brought people to realize that some of the world needs to be helped and Brain- tree has certainly helped. Kar- in Ricci said, It was a good cause. Looking back on the year people will recall the Wood- stock of the ' 80 ' s. Rob Phil- lips commented, It was GREAT! DIANE M. CONLON CAROLYN I.

Thanks Mom and Dad JENNIFER LYNN HANDY AMY J. HARRINGTON Last year was the year of Cyndi Lauper, Lionel Richie, U-2, and Prince. This year brought some different kinds of music to focus. These in- cluded rapping, oldies (Mo- town), songs sung by artists who used to be a part of groups and the invasion from abroad. Doug E. Fresh and Run D.M.C. made made sure rap, pop, and breaking was not forgotten. Hall and Oates teamed up with Eddie Kendrix and David Ruffin for the soul style. Their melodies from oldies went up the charts and got people to listen to the Motown sound again without the help of Mi- chael Jackson. Then there were the men who gave up the group for a while to try it on their own. These included David Lee Roth from Van Helen, Robert Plant, Mick Jagger, and Sting. All performed without the help of their past groups and THOMAS J. HANLEY CHRISTOPHER B. HANLEY CORINNE HATCHER some decided to stay solo. And again, there were the groups from across the Atlan- tic. Tears for Fears became a huge success, Wham stayed on the chrts, Paul Young hit number 1, U-2 played along, and the newset newest of the groups was A-HA. There were more new sounds and these were just the beginning of the list. 84 Seniors m LEVI ' S wow THOMAS G.

DUANE T. HOWELL JR. JENNIFER JONES The Breakfast Club , came out this year and be- came cult like as it had kids viewing it more than one time. It was a great movie, said Chris Pircio. While Jen Curley did not see it she heard that It was really good. The rea- son why it was a blockbuster was because kids could easily relate to the characters. Paul Agnew felt, It was one of the best movies I ' ve seen all year. The story focused on kids who had to learn to get along with others because they had to, not because they wanted to. But in the end all were grateful for the exper- ience, and all left with a better knowledge of themselves and others. This relates to many kids at Braintree because of the mixture of personalities there are. We have the JOCKS, who hang with each other and only each other. We also have the PRINCESSES who only go where the jocks go. There are the BRAINS who the jocks and princesses don ' t dare say HI to in the halls. Then there are the LONERS and DEL INQUENTS who ev- eryone looks at strangely. What makes B.H.S. special though is the foct that every- one gives in to what their ster- iotype is and gets along with each other because we ' re all in the same boat. This learn- ing to deal with people that are different than what you are was the basic storyline in the movie and the backbone at Braintree High School. The only different com- ment was from Paul McCar- thy who said, It was weird! THE Breahfast Ctuh ’ GLENN JANOVSKY CHRISTOPHER J. JOYCE DANIEL E. JOYCE KEVIN P.

The Junior Prom in May ' 85 witnessed The BIRD . This craze became popular after the hit movie Purple Rain where Morris Day first introduced how to fly. The kids seemed to like this one the best out of all of the new dances. Some got on top of each others shoulders in order to flap their wings near the chandeliers. The Homecoming dance in- cluded the Party Train , by the Gap Band, which had ev- eryone holding on to each other ' s backs while keeping step to the beat. Break Dancing wasn ' t as popular as it had been but there were still signs of the wave, popping, and the wind- mill, These dances stayed, in part because music from groups such as Run D.M.C. and others. With the New crazes still being created and others coming — who knows what could waltz around at the Senior Prom?! Having a lot of influence on the dance styles were pro- grams like Solid Gold and the many music videos always available on MTV or V66.

The two stars of these blockbust- ers were Sylvester Stallone, and of course Pee-Wee Her- man. Because both of these men are one of a kind one question comes to mind . . . Who would you choose as a hero and why. ' . . . “Rambo, would be my hero because he is strong enough to defend against enemies. This was said by Carolyn Cur- ry after some serious thought. Jim Toland had a different opinion, Pee-Wee, because he ' s hilarious and he reminds me of Mark Aiello. Rambo — he ' s a BABE. These were Jeanne Raffa ' s DEBORAH JOAN MAHAR DEBBIE Madrigals 1 , 2.

JEANNE MARIE RAFFA MARIO ANGELO RANIERI DENNIS RANTA The biggest concert of 1985 was done by Bruce Springsteen and the E-Street Band. It was awesome, the best show I ' ve ever seen, said Tommy Fisher. Not only did “The Boss have a tre- mendous tour but one of the largest selling albums, “Bom in the U.S.A. Some of Brain- tree ' s students were able to see this great performer. Any- one could easily tell who these kids were because the day after the concert they were clad in blue jeans, Springsteen t-shirts, sweatshirts, and pins. Said Leanne Chase It was the best concert I ever saw and probably the best 4 l z hours of music I ' ve heard in my life. Throughout the year his songs have soared to the top of the charts and his picture has been spread all over mag- azines, videos and newspa- pers. The reason for his popu- larity is because all different kinds of people enjoy him whether because of his music (talent), his personality, his im- age as good old American worker, or his looks. For these reasons Bruce is not just an average teen idol. Not only has The Boss re- ceived acclaim but his right hand man Clarence Clem- mens has also used his talents to head straight to stardom. Springsteen has been popu- lar for a few years now and will be in the future and may- be even appear in another Braintree Yearbook, but in this edition he was recognized because in 1985-1986 Bruce Springsteen, to many, was rock and roll!

RIPLEY PETER JON RIPLEY SEAN BRADFORD RIZZO LAURA SALVAGGI PAUL KEVIN SALVAGGIO STACY SALVUCCI Some people say that the class of 1986 may be one of the best classes to graduate from B.H.S. It may be because of the intellect, the creativity or just the all around fun that this class had. The reason why this idea came up is because of a song that may describe what will go on in June 1 986. This song hit number 1 for a while this year. It is sung by Sting, who went solo. The song is, If You Love Some- thing, Set It Free ... Now what does this song have to do with graduation? It must mean that B.H.S. loves its stu- dents so much they are going to set free about 400 kids this coming graduation. Do you think the school loves this class? . . . “Many teachers have told me that our class is one of the best classes, said Paul Sal- vaggio, “We are a great well- rounded class; we can play sports, socialize, and still do well academically. Jennifer Curley felt like Paul did. “They love us because we ' re the best acting class, she said. But Laurie Feeney felt, No, I don ' t think they love us be- cause they seem to like the class of ' 87, but on the other hand they love us more than last year ' s seniors. 1 02 Seniors iiUiili Aiii DODGE Gasoline DAVID P.

They are smarter or stronger or more charismatic than the average person in the same way that Braintree ' s senior personalities on the following pages are unique. Some of the people that are admired by BHS teens are thought provoking. Said Todd Richmond, Jesus Christ is someone I admire because He loves people for what they are. The dancing skills of Leroy, a character on the tv series ' Fame ' got the attention of Den- ise Delpico. Maureen McKenna as impressed by an- other well known personality. Said Maureen, I like Rod Stewart ' s singing and he is nice looking too! Rocker Bruce Springsteen was an inspiration to Kristen Dorsey and Tom Fisher. Bruce Springsteen has an awesome body and he is cool, said Kris. Said Tom, Bruce is the BOSS! tii ' I 10 Sponsored by Mr. and Mrs. Herbert A. Murphy Sponsored by John and Marie Foley 1 1 1 r Jennifer Wright and Rob Phillips They are living legends, people who are so famous that you ' d have to live in a cave not to know who they are and what they do. Just like the legends of BHS — our personalities. Mom with all that she does is surely a legend to many teens. Said Neil DiMartinis, My mother is 1. Researching back to the legends of the 1950 ' s was Kimi Tsuji. Kimi admitted, James Dean is a legend because he is so ' cool ' . Jumping on the new — Rambo band- wagon was Stacia Genes. The Arnold Schwartzenegger answer to Rambo, Com- mando, was an instant hit with teens. Ar- nold is crazy! enthused Stacia. Jen Murphy was a fan of Matt Dillon, a teen actor frequently found in billboard lights. Said Jen, Mat is so rugged looking and cool. TV was also a place that teens looked in search of legends. General Hospital char- acter Frisco Jones played by actor singer Jack Wagner was the favorite of Jen Fer- ent. Said Jen, He is a DOLL! Sponsored by Janet L. Dauphinais 1 13 HU i4 Chris Joyce, Mr. LeRoy and Erin McLaughlin Who are the heroes of today ' s teens? Who do they look up to and why? Teen idols, movie stars, rock musicians, sports figures? Just who are their favor- ite personalities, people who have al- ready established themselves and made their mark? Larry Bird is admired by Steve Drago. He ' s only the best basketball player in the world, said Steve. Handsome Rob Lowe is someone Chris Gangemi likes to look at. Said Chris, He ' s awesome looking. Red Sox player Wade Boggs, who captured the league batting title this year, is admired by Chris Joyce. Said Chris, He is the best hitter in baseball, but he still keeps on striving. 1 14 Sponsored by Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Abbood Sponsored by Mr. and Mrs. J.

Herb we had all heard of through the Burger King com- mercials. But Chuck? Chuck who? It will remain one of Dave ' s little secrets. Jay Casey had a more typical idol.

But, according to the administrators, it is made much easier by this year ' s excellent student body. Dr. Monbouquette, Superintendent of Schools, agrees. There is a greater seriousness of purpose and academic training (for the world of work) amongst the students. Despite the enthusiasm of the stu- dents, Braintree ' s reputation was some- what damaged by two negative articles printed by the Patriot Ledger. These articles spoke of a raid made near the school. The insinuation was made that the high school had a serious drug prob- lem. Mr. Grant, the House One housemas- ter stated, No one ever contacted Mr. LeRoy before writing the article. It is too bad that when one does well, no one remembers. But if one does poorly, no one forgets. Mr. Grant referred to the letter the school received from the Sheraton Tara stating that Braintree High ' s students A Jot were the best dressed, best looking, and most well-mannered of all the prom-go- ers who attended a prom there. The way the students behaved at the prom exemplified the pride the students take in themselves and their school. This pride was dramatically obvious at the October pep rally. Not only did the students show boundless enthusiasm, but the cheerleaders, pep squad, and majorettes gave their best performance ever. Mr. Hopkins, House Two housemas- ter, commented, It was the best rally I ' ve seen in years. This renewal of spirit was the major reason why there are so few new poli- cies this year. Due to an increase in sec- retaries, homes are called when stu- dents are absent. Also, the cut policy had been strictly enforced. All of this has created an attendance enlarge- ment. We would like a 94-95% attendance of the student body, said Mr. LeRoy. The atmosphere in the school has become more relaxed. This is due to the responsibility and maturity with which the students have responded to the new policies, noted Mr. Hopkins. I Graduation requirements are harder ‘ for the class graduating in 1 986. T o help prepare students for life after high school, more computers were pur- i chased. Students can enjoy the new fa- cilities more due to fewer students, and |i more space. Many new services have moved to the high school because of the availabil- | ity of space. Hollis Center, preschool, ; and more special services have moved I into Braintree High. ■ Braintree High is a complex environ- ; ment to run.

Well, then go as quickly as you can to the nearest science room. The many different courses offered at B.H.S. are sure to satisfy the most inquir- ing high school mind and maybe even get some started on advanced studies through extension programs with local colleges. AP courses also give budding scientists the jump on the competition. For most of the high school students, science is a great cure for the urge to know more about the world around us. Said Mr. Hogan, ' The enrollment in sci- ence is good.” Almost one hundred per- cent of the freshmen and sophomores take science courses. The percentage drops off a bit in the higher grades with seventy percent of juniors and sixty per- cent of seniors taking a science course. These numbers are sure to increase as the new graduation requirement of three years of science takes effect. Mr. Sevagian admitted that he likes to teach chemistry. Working with young people who like to think is enjoyable,” he stated. Joe Hernon tossed out a scientific idea which must have cost him hours of deep concentration. Said Joe, If Albert Einstein were alive today, he ' d be mighty old.” Not exactly the kind of deep thinking Mr. Sevagian referred to although he probably would have ap- preciated Joe ' s sense of humor. Junior Brian Powers said he likes sci- , ence, because it ' s easy and I like the ■ teachers.” Science always provides the kind of f excitement and intrigue that even the i most fussy student demands from their course. So, if you want your brain chal- j lenged and have a chance to learn inter- esting facts about everything from D.N.A. replication to the valance of Pra- seodymfum, science offers exciting challenges to the B.H.S. students. There ' is always something new to learn in sci- I ence class. 120 Science Mr. Engstrom explains a physics pro- ject to Diane Lyndon and Thouraya Raiss.

High tech computers and advanced placement courses are just a couple of hints in the expanding number of educational opportunities in this department. Along with the 1985-86 school year came several new courses. A depart- mental decision was made to improve the computer science course. An ad- vanced Pascal problem solving course was developed for those seniors who completed the AP courses as juniors and wanted to continue their studies in an honors class. On the other end, the level 4 pre-Algebra course was up- graded and renamed introduction to Al- gebra. The final course change found the work study math skills program be- ing dropped for lack of students. Although Braintree doesn ' t have any brand new teachers, several familiar faces have returned. Ms. McBride has returned to teach computer program- ming and math. Another returning fac- ulty member was Ms. Keelon who was back teaching algebra and applied math. Ms. Helm left BHS to teach at the nearby Milton Academy. Ms. McKillop, the head of the depart- ment, commented, We have one of the best math faculties teaching the best students around. And, we want to keep it that way. Some of the future plans for the de- partment include changing the prereq- uisites for courses. New math courses are also in the works. A new computer course specifically for underclassmen introducing them to the basics of com- puter use is also being planned. Linda Goldman summed up many stu- dents ' feelings about math. She said, Math is certainly an abstract subject for abstract minds. Math is my hardest subject, re- marked Jen Somers. Paul O ' Brien con- tradicted this opinion, Math is pretty easy — this year anyway. Mathematics 123 Beth Coleman takes a break from studying the past.

I 124 Social Studies hether studying the past or plotting the future, BHS stu- dents find the social studies department fascinating. “Humanities is tough, but with so much to learn, it keeps me interested,” com- mented junior Christina Connelly. The underclassmen are usually kept busy juggling historic dates and places. Kara Geary found herself caught up in a few problems. “With all these dates to remember,” she complained, “I don ' t know if I ' ll survive the year.” Meanwhile, most juniors and seniors take either psychology or sociology. Elisa Youngworth commented, “It ' s fun learning about human behavior.” Exploring the reasons why people react to society in a particular manner keeps the students challenged. Some students forget the purpose of their class. Said Laureen Feeney, “You get so caught up in psychology that you don ' t realize you ' re learning.” In some cases, it ' s the teacher that makes the class come together. “It ' s fun going to psychology,” said Joanna Geary, “when you have Mr. Murphy.” Another unique teacher is Mr. Pierce. “As they say in East Braintree,” com- mented Joanne Hoffman, “he ain ' t no bad dude.” Then there are the brave souls who battle with the high and mighty AP Euro- pean history course. “The class is difficult because Mr. Pierce always interrogates me and baf- fles my mind on the Renaissance per i- od,” said Kendall Norling. Kids who take the AP course are faced with a devast- ing exam at the end of the year to add to their other problems during finals. There are always a few who cannot find anything wonderful about social studies. “It ' s driving me crazy,” lament- ed Kelsey Mullin. You can think about it this way. Histo- ry is a rehash of the past which preceeds the future which will be the past. Got it? Kara Kuechler, Jen Kelly and Kristen Helfrich share a laugh in their social studies class.

Everyday there are other challenges and battles with Dra- cula , Lord of the Flies and the ' ' Pig- man . Even though these aren ' t formi- dable creatures, but books, they prove a close encounter for many students during their four years at BHS. English isn ' t all reading and slaving over Shakespeare though. There are other course like Mass Media which deals with mass communications such as commercials and television. There are also demanding courses like Focus on College Skills where you can improve your chances for scoring well on the English section of the scholastic achievement tests and can get ready for college essays, term papers and re- search. What course you end up in depends of course on your counselor and your personality. Strangely, not too many students have thought about the signifi- cance of the whole thing. Deep thinker, Dana Smith, has spent a lot of time puz- zling out the riddle of the language we use every day. Said Dana, English is a paradoxical language in that it is the of- ficial language of the United States, an extremely independent nation, yet Americans did not invent the language. The English did. Dana continued, This is not to say that we have not made adaptation to the language which are not considered proper English. But are these adapta- tions properly American instead? When you think of all the purely American words that have been added to the language maybe we should all be stydying American instead of English. Jennifer Blood commented, English as a whole is a terribly confusing lan- guage. The teachers at Braintree High make it more confusing. Confusing or not, it is a mandatory course for graduation. English is always at the top of the list as the favorite course in polls. But it is clearly not the favorite of all. Kim Andrews admitted, I hate Eng- lish. For most, Patty Brennan ' s opinion summed it up. It ' s ok, she volun- teered. One aspect of English that is appeal- ing to many is the chance to write about your own experiences and feelings through essays and paragraphs. The ability to communicate in written form is a freedom for many. Others find it inter- esting to examine the motives of char- acters and to think about how particular fictional men and women responded to challenges and crises in their fictional lives. Seniors often find the English require- ment difficult. The seriousness of this requirement indicates the value of the courses in the language we all use every day.

Above, the phrase is written in Spanish and French. But other languages that can be heard while walking on the second floor corridor are Italian and Latin. There are many different reasons to take a foreign language and students convey many different feelings about the subject. Stephanie Callaghan felt, A foreign language can help in getting a job.” Vinnie DiPiero enjoyed the cul- tural flair” of Spanish. One of the cultur- al experiences available to students this fall was a visit to a John Hancock Hall to see a live flamenco performance. With exchange trips to Spain and France and a first time ever trip to Italy, many students from the high school have a chance to live in a foreign culture and speak the language they have been studying if they are able to foot the bill for airfare and expenses. A foreign language can also give stu- dents a chance to receive academic recognition for their achievements. The Spanish and French National Honor So- cieties and the Junior Classical League have as their members students who have taken three or more years of a language and have received endorse- ments from their other teachers. Members are formally inducted in the respective languages. Society members are usually the ones to welcome ex- change groups and to provide the hous- ing for visiting students. Many students have taken a lan- guage in junior high which allows them to concentrate on that language for as II many as five years. Many advanced stu- M dents receive college credit for their ex- pertise. There have been some major changes in the department this yean with all students required for the first time to take a foreign language. The increase in students has meant a corre- spending increase in the teaching staff. The cultural experiences of other coun- I tries becomes more familiar as Braintree I • students explore the language opportu- j nities available to all. ] i Cracking the books is one of Richie Mazzola ' ' ! studious activities.

Carlson A earning can sometimes be a m drag but the business depart- ment provides a fun, but edu- cational instruction in skills |hat can be used on the job or in more beneral applications. Most students I during their education at Braintree High ill encounter a business course. vVhether the course is typing, word pro- essing, accounting, or general busi- ess it will undoubtedly help the stu- dents in their further endeavors. Business courses are also offered in lummer school and many students usu- i ' ]lly take advantage of this. Both Thour- “pya Raiss and Suzanne DiPiero took typ- ing in summer school. Raiss stated, ook typing during summer school be- ;ause I have no room to fit it in my ■chedule otherwise. Meanwhile DiPiero said, ”1 have no leal interest in the world of business al- ilhough I did take typing in summer vChool.” College is on the minds of many of Braintree High Schools students and courses in Business do help the students prepare for college. ”1 took typing just to know how, not because it was a busi- ness course. In college I ' ll have to type my reports, commented Julie Attardo. Many don ' t have room in their schedule nor the time in the summer for these important courses. Mr. Strout, a teacher of accounting and law, commented on the need for and uses of business courses. In all of my classes I have 1 30 students, these courses are very beneficial when apply- ing to colleges. If you major in business administration in college, you are re- quired to take a business course in high school. Many colleges such as Bentley and Babson require you to take at least one year of accounting at school. In re- ality the courses in high school may help you do better. When asked if there were any changes in the department he replied, Shorthand is out and speed- writing is in. I take accounting and speedwriting and it helps me a lot. I ' m not sure what I want to be and these courses might help me in a career in business. In ac- counting I learn how to balance figures and checkbooks. The difference be- tween speedwriting and shorthand is that speedwriting has shorter letters while shorthand uses symbols. There are a lot of kids in accounting, but not in speedwriting. Both will help if I decide to become a secretary, replied Laureen Brundige. Word Processing, a different aspect of typing, teaches the student not only how to use a computer but also how to type reports and other important docu- ments. It is not all fun and games though as Suzanne Mezoff stated, I take word processing. It ' s okay, but I only took it to fill up my schedule. J.

Home Economics and Indus- trial Arts classes help many Braintree High students to prepare themselves for the competitive job market they will en- counter after graduation. Many differ- ent options for training are available. Ev- erything from auto repair, child care, small engine maintenance, cabinetry and gourmet cooking is included in the list of courses available to students. Preparation for adult problems is also an important part of the curriculum. Adult Roles is one of the popular courses in the department. Said Mary Ellen Mischler, In class you get to talk about everyday things and to do activi- ties that make you think about adult- nood. It is basically interesting and easy. When walking on the second floor in ::he E wing you can usually smell the sweet aroma of apple muffins or the tempting, mouth-watering smell of la- sagna coming from the cooking rooms. Students get basic information about cooking techniques, food groups and menu preparation, but they also get to meet lots of new people. Said Jennifer Knoll and Sharon Foley, We enjoy this because you get to cook and you get to eat it as well.” At the same time on the first floor in the E-wing, you are likely to hear the banging, clanking and whirr of machin- ery from the auto, wood and metal shops. Skillful hands and a good eye are necessary when working with some of the sophisticated machinery involved in these courses. Students have constructed elaborate projects from scratch. Guitars, bureaus and television cabinets are just a few examples of student artistry in wood- work. The constant stream of rejuve- nated washing machines and repaired cars is proof of the abilities of students to repair complex machinery. Jeff Pizzi explains, Fixing an auto- motive transportation vehicle can be one of the most exhilarating things a human being could ever experience. Still, the shops courses mean different things to different people. Said Jamie Jernegan, It ' s an easy course. You learn something new and it ' s good for credits. By taking a close look at the many career-oriented courses offered at BHS, it ' s easy to see that Braintree is con- cerned for the future occupational skills of its students. Jamie Jernegan concentrates on adjusting his ma- chine correctly. Jen Murphy was great at cleaning up after preparing gourment foods. Mr. Tetzlaff and Phil Packer work on the brake drum of a pa- tient in the auto shop. Industrial Arts and Home Economics 133 CoTZa Hma Aa veryone knows that the arts are places where BHS stu- dents can express them- selves in many ways and in many forms. They are able to use their creativity and use their ideas in ways no other subject can allow. The E wing of BHS holds the art rooms. Some students and teachers rarely make their way over to this sec- tion of the school, but when they do, they are amazed by the work turned out by student artists. All day long kids flock to these rooms to draw, paint or photograph. They come without hesitation. As Sue Hel- frich stated, Going to art is one of the best times of the day.” Joe Clougherty added, Drawing and painting is a class I don ' t mind going to.” Every year the art department seems not only to get better, but also bigger. Ms. Murphy had been teaching at South J.H., but was moved up to the high school to help with the expanding student enrollment in art courses. She commented, The kids are much more mature and much easier to work with. They have some great ideas.” Ms. Sundberg, the art director, said of the prospering department, This year the senior seminar course has been changed to Portfolio and the yearbook which used to meet after school is now a class called Publications. In the future we plan to have a roving display of stu- dent art work in nursing homes, the pub- lic library, town buildings and the hospi- tal. It looks very promising.” Students can also express themselves in song through the courses of the mu- sic department. When walking past these classrooms, all kinds of music can be heard. There are many different groups; the orchestra, band, jazz band, the chorale, swing choir — just take your pick. Patrick Donahue loves his music class. Band is a great class,” he said. And it ' s great during the football games. It ' s a lot of fun.” Michaela Jones had her views on the voice courses offered. I get individual attention. It ' s really fun to sing like we do. Music students get to exercise their talents in school of course, but they also put their show on the road. This year they will travel to the United Nations building in New York City. Last year their performance schedule took them to Quebec. Dr. Dewey, the music chairman, said, The music department keeps getting better every year.” Dr. Dewey is also the director of the BHS chorale. Regarding them she said, There are lots of boys in the chorale this year, and it is very successful. More male voices are always welcome.” The orchestra is also having a fine year. Ms. Rankin admitted, This year our orchestra is the biggest and besl ever.” Now more than ever there is a stronc emphasis on the arts. The new gradu ation requirement is responsible for par of it, but even without that Braintree arts would still be doing just fine.

Mr. Herget ' s shoes were too large to be fill ed by a single person. Therefore, Mr. Schuhwerk, a BHS gym teacher took over as athletic director for the town in addition to his teaching duties at the high school, and Mr. Pratt became the Director of Physical Education. Mr. Schuhwerk said proudly, ' The athletic department is one of the most successful in the state and certainly in the Bay State League. We ' re the only school in the state with four lighted fields and the first to bring back middle school athletics mostly because of what Mr. Herget started. Mr. Schuhwerk is missed as a full time teacher at BHS, but he does an impor- tant job supporting the athletic pro- gram. Mr. Pratt has many important plans for the physical education department which he feels has been set in its ways for too long. Said Mr. Pratt, The p.e. department is trying to move away from convention- al activities to become more involved with physical fitness — it s healthy diet, exercise and all around fitness. He plans to set aside more room in the gym for exercise equipment like Nauti- lus and Universal machines and is ex- cited about the prospects his job hold for him. His enthusiasm should help to revolutionize the department. Many opportunities for lifelong athle- tic activities are covered in the many mini-courses included in the gym cur- riculum. Weight training, yoga, jogging, golf, as well as the traditional team sports are available to the students in the gym classes.

Freshmen depend on their counselors for advice in helping them adapt to high school life. Upperclassmen would be devastated if their counselors were not available to help them with course selec- tions, college applications, SAT infor- mation, career counseling and all of the other material that floods in in the fall. The seniors run around like wild animals checking on their course credits for graduation, their class rank, financial aid status, and their probability of mak- ing the grade in the college application process. Said Ms. Goggins, The seniors are on the ball in filing their college applications this year. The rewards of time spent in assisting students with decisions which will have impact on their future lives are not al- ways immediate or direct, but counsel- ors enjoy their contact with students. Said Mr. Beck, I love helping students. Guidance is a lot of help when you need someone to talk to, said Kim An- drews. Many students are able to con- fide in their counselors and get help with personal problems. And then there are those who have made the guidance department home. Stated Pattie Brennan, Guid- ance is a good place to hang during free periods. Both guidance counselors and special needs teachers lend a helping hand to all who need it. There are special programs in the spe- cial needs section for students with problems in their English or math courses and for those who find school especially difficult. Since last year, the special needs de- partment has gone through a few changes. It has new programs and some new teachers. Among the new instruc- tors were Ms. Vail and Mr. Capavella. Ms. Vail ' s philosophy is you can if you try — a good point of view to adopt in her department. Mr. Capavella, who is involved with the alternative high school program this year, said, Both Mr. Swanton and I take great pride in teaching our stu- dents, students who would not other- wise have had the opportunity for a high school education. I would like to share my experiences and make a worthwhile contribution not only to the program but to the Braintree educational system as well.

' 3 t 1 40 Cafeteria fctJX4 Tj unch — that four year voy- age to boldly digest what no man has eaten before. And each year there are more de- lights for students to devour or as Jenni- fer Pacell i said, Lunch . . . it ' s one of those things that when you ' re in class you want to go but as soon as you eat the food, you want out. They make over two million burgers a year. Just think joked Todd Rich- mond, that ' s almost a half pound of meat. But if the students have any com- plaints, they should sympathize with the cafeteria help. The women try to come up with new, affordable ideas for lunches. Sometimes this is difficult, due to the fact that the town does not subsi- dize the high school lunches by provid- ing money. That ' s why when food prices rise, cafeteria prices go up. Ms. May, the cafeteria manager said, The meals are a value. For the price a parent pays for a bag lunch their child could buy a hot meal here at school. Not all students can appreciate the situation. Even though the lunch room is littered with wrappers, milk cartons and the remains of lunches, not everyone is fond of the place. The lunch room should be blown up! argued Kim Mac- Leod. Boreth Ly felt that the lunch room should remain. But it should be clean- er, he added. Another common complaint among the student body was that the soda ma- chines should not be turned off during lunch. According to Ms. May the policy was instituted to encourage students to drink milk during lunch. Bill Van den Akker was strongly op- posed to the arbitrary rule. Said Bill, I don ' t like having the Coke machines turned off during lunch. And Kirsti MacPherson agreed, Coke machines have a right to life — all of the time! Judging by the litter of Coke cans. Yo- dels wrappers, donut packages and half-empty cups of cocoa that blanket the tables of the cafe after the home- room warning bell rings at 7:45, BHS has a large number of junk food enthusi- asts. It ' s no wonder that they miss the Coke machine during lunch. Some clev- er folks circumvent the rule by buying their sodas before the machines are shut down and enjoying them for lunch even if they are not refrigerated. Part of the routine of lunch is walking through the lunch line where you have a choice of a fast food style menu or a regular lunch assortment. What is it? asked Sioux Griffin as she paused in her journey to inspect the offerings. Jason Fuller philosophized, What goes down must come up. Or was that out? While in the cafe, Devon Marinelli, Michelle Shaheen and Laura McConnell flash their best smiles. Christopher Pircio and Paul McCarthy debate what they should buy for lunch as Ms. O ' Toole serves the french fries. Sponsored by Peter and Ardyce Marinelli 141 T hey have heard it all, every excuse in the book. Some are R-rated, others are clearly ri- diculous, and many of the rest just can ' t be believed. House secre- taries, Mrs. Bottiggi, Mrs. Caron and Mrs. Lungari all agreed that they have encountered just about every excuse for absence and tardiness that could be imagined. The most absurd excuse that Mrs. Bottiggi can recall involved a student who was late to school. His note stated ' ' was late today because he had to shovel the driveway. Mrs. Bottiggi was genuinely puzzled because on that par- ticular day it hadn ' t snowed. She is still wondering just what that boy had to shovel out of his driveway. Unusual anecdotes come quickly to mind when the house secretaries must recall amusing incidents involving notes. Mrs. Caron was fond of a note that read; was late today because he had to wait for his clothes to dry. He had nothing to wear. Gee, poor kid. Mrs. Caron laughed, I might have expected this note from a girl but not from a boy. House 2 secretary, Mrs. Lungari, was not without a favorite example. Her fa- vorite note read, was late be- cause the dog ran away. The student who was late explained that his dog had run away and he had to chase it, find it and bring it home. By far, the most common excuse sec- retaries hear goes; was absent be- cause he she wasn ' t feeling well or had a doctor dental appoint- ment. Another common one only shows up when the power goes out and electricity goes out shutting off all of the clocks. Next time your mother or father is writing your note, check it. You could be the talk of the house office secretaries providing them with anecdotes for years of chuckles. The next time you leave your house office, turn around and see if your house secretary is smiling ear to ear while reading your excuse.

Bill Morgan 1 and Paul McCarthy who are nicknamed Destruction In- •T corporated said, ' Thanks t coach for the new helmets — 7 % Somewhere along tthe way things went wrong and the Wamps ended up on the wrong end of a dis- appointing season. Losing close games made it all the harder, because what the Wamps lacked was a con- sistent offense. Inexperi- enced players were part of the problem. Tri-captain, senior JP Do- herty explained, We worked hard, but inexperi- ence held out in the end. Still, it was a lot of fun. The Thanksgiving game was a test of character for the players and the fans. Said Pam Young, ”lt was cold, wet, terrible, rotten, muddy and frostbitten. And we still lost 21-0. A game to remember but not to sa- vor. Senior Gary Quintiliani ad- mitted, Our season record did not show our full poten- tial. Many of the younger players did gain experience during the season, but for veterans like Gary there will be no comeback next year as they move on to the col- lege ranks. Even though the results were not what fans and players might have liked, it wasn ' t all negative. Said Eric Caruso, It was fun while it lasted. Standouts for the team offensively were JP Do- herty, quarterback Curt Al- len and Paul McCarthy. Alan Nelson, honored by Patriot Ledger by being named the top defensive player helped the Wamp cause from his position. This was the first year as varsity coach for Mr. Chute. Commenting on his team, he said, They are a fine bunch of players. About the third game of the season we got our act to- gether. From then on we started to play good foot- ball. It was a strange Bay State League this year that saw everyone beat ev- eryone else.

But Coach Driscoll has high hopes for the players. ' This group could change the fortunes of Braintree football and rival the best in the Bay State League,” he said. Braintree walloped Wal- pole 1 8-0, and scored their highest total of the season against Milton 20-6. The Walpole game was especially satisfying to Coach Driscoll. He com- mented, The players were all sky high and tion.” The team suffered only one major injury. Darryl Harris a running back went down early in the season. Otherwise the team re- mained relatively healthy. Although there were no formal awards, thirteen of the freshmen were invited to practice with the junior varsity and varsity teams. The season record of the junior varsity was not awe-inspiring. Although the team did not fare too well with a 1-5-1 record, Steve Powilatis, Jim Wa- lorz, and Vin Delvecchio were rated as outstanding players by the JV coaches and should contribute greatly to next year ' s var- sity squad. Sophomores Joe Molloy, Dante Var- rasso. Bob Manning, Joe Francoeur and Archie Oberstein were also ex- pected to figure promi- nently in the future pros- pects of Braintree High football. With the development of the freshman team, Braintree should be on the top again with the dedica- tion and effort displayed by this team ' s play,” com- mented Coach Swanton. ' This group of foot- ball players chould change the futures of BHS football.

Headed by coach Ciesla the Wamps are a team to watch. Headed by coach Ciesla the Wamps smashed their way through the season and into the tourney. With 3 wins and a third place finish in Division 1 of the central section tour- nament, the Wamps finished off their season in spirited style. Said Coach Ciesla, We came through with drive, de- termination and patience!” Some of their toughest games during the year in- volved nemeses Natick and Wellesley who handed the girls their only regular season defeats. The come-from-be- hind victories over Needham, Norwood, Framingham North and Dedham were proof of the maturity of the young team. Carolyn Curry was the only senior on the squad. Said Carolyn, We had a great year and the tough games really brought us closer to- gether as a team. I wish the team luck next year for they have the ability to win it all. Remember — straight down!” The season was hampered somewhat by injuries. Colds also hit the team hard. Ms. Ciesla recalled, During one match, we had only eight players. But we managed.” Team members were hon- ored by the league for their efforts. Carolyn Curry, Kristy Romano, Pam Field and Lauren Powers were nomi- nated to the all star squad. Carolyn Curry was also a nominee to the Globe all- scholastic team. This was not a team of indi- vidual stars however. All worked together as a group and united their talents in or- der to produce wins as a team. A second place finish in the BSL and a third in the tourney revealed the strength, talent and effort of the varsity vol- leyball team. Looking back on this season there should be nothing less than pride and smiles. We struggled point by point through the season to the final loss in the tourna- ment. Nothing was easy.

With a record of 15-3, the JV matched the record of the tourney bound varsity, and also matched their sec- ond place finish in the Bay State League. Although the junior varsi- ty players lost single match- es to Norwood, Walpole and Natick, even in these losses the girls were not shut out. The key element to the winning season was the cohesiveness of the team. Behind Captain Kris- ten Powers who led the team and the top setter on the squad the girls worked together to become a force in the league. This year was great”, said Kris. Foreign exchange stu- dent Reiko Okigami from Japan admitted, Playing volleyball in Braintree was a lot of fun.” The effort was uniform and consistent all season long for all the mem- bers of the squad. Winning is always fun. Every year the jv soccer team seems to get a bit stronger. With the return of soccer in the junior high schedule there was a better turnout this year for the girls ' soccer programs. Play- ers Tracy Flanders, Holly Goodwin, Ann O ' Brien, Shannon Dooley and Mau- reen Murphy led the team. Goalie Murphy recorded her first shutout of the sea- son under the lights against Framingham South which was also the first win of the season for the young squad. With many players return- ing to the varsity next year. Coach Goodwin has hopes that the junior varsity will re- main pretty much in tact. The additional year of ex- perience would make for a stronger squad. The only serious injury sustained this year was to freshman Andrea Olson. She missed only two games, but she was m issed as she is a very aggressive player,” said Coach Good- win. think next year looks good for us.

Mahar I One look at the score- board could tell you that this was not the best sea- son for the girls ' varsity soccer team. The individ- ual components of a great team were there, but somehow nothing ever seemed to quite come to- gether. With a record at season ' s end of 3 wins and 15 losses Braintree proved they weren ' t about to give up. Individually there were many strong players. Lauren Roberts had a great season as the team ' s strongest sweeper- back. Irene Murphy, a ju- nior in her first year as the goalkeeper, played well in that position, but her ef- forts alone were not enough to blunt all of the scoring drives of the oppo- It nents. In short, the team worked well together, but just not well enough to pile up consistent victories. Tri-captains, Mary Can- avan, Debbie Mahar and Amy Willoughby led the team on defense. Cana- van, Murphy and Roberts all received BSL honorable mention in the all-star bal- loting. Mary Canavan, a senior, played on the varsi- ty for three years and be- came one of the strongest players on the team. Coach Willock also appre- ciated the efforts of Mur- phy and Roberts who will return for the 1 986-87 sea- son. Without a doubt the highlight of the season was the final home game against Milton under the light for the first time ever at H. Frederick Herget Athletic complex. Brain- tree rose to the occasion with a comeback 3-0 vic- tory over Milton who had beaten BHS in their earlier match by an identical score. As an annual wrap up to the season. Coach Willock hosted a team party at his home. It made a great ending to the season. The Coach commented, It was the best party in four years. Next year ' s team prom- ises to shoot for a better record with another gal- lant effort. Co-captains Maryellen Gunn and Lauren Roberts will lead the squad in an attempt to improve their record.

Their record at season ' s end brought them to the final spot in the Eastern Massachusetts Di- vision 1 tournament. They squeezed into the tourney by winning the last two I games of the season includ- f ing victories over the pre- viously undefeated league champion, Needham by a score of 2-1 and over Milton with a score of 4-1 . The toughest game of the year was the tourna- ment game, said coach Carson. It was a very hard loss. Braintree had gotten off I to a slow start at the begin- ning of the year. Four of the five losses in their season came in the first round of matches. They turned the season around with five wins and three ties in the second round of matches. The season was a great success, said Paul Salvag- gio. We beat an undefeat- ed team, Needham to get into the tournament. It was worth sacrificing our time for a few moments of pleasure in the tourna- ment, admitted Sean Rizzo. Just before the tourney BHS lost one of its players. Flo Cellamare, an exchange student, was unexpectedly called back to Italy. Said Neil Dimartinis, Let ' s not forget Flo. He was a great asset. Also, he knew how to utilize the quick cut and hit. This season was the first with matches played under the lights at the H. Frederick Herget Athletic complex. Braintree posted victories against Framington South in the night contests. Many of the players re- ceived recognition for their athletic ability. Paul Salvag- gio was named to the league all-star team and was a nominee to the all- state squad. Kevin Dauphin- ais also was a member of the all-star team of the BSL. Frank Carney, Tom Fish- er, Chris Joyce and Sean Rizzo received honorable mention from the all-stars. Losing the tourna- ment game 3-2 was very difficult. Coach Carson Chris Joyce races downfield. Sponsored by Charlie and Mariann Joyce 155 ML ICu ctJl Finishing the season with a record of seven wins and sev- en losses the freshman soc- cer team showed a lot of promise. Said Dave Riordan, Our record didn ' t show it, but we were a pretty good team. We never lost without a good fight! Paul O ' Brien was typical of the players on the squad. This was my first year play- ing soccer. I didn ' t think I would like it, but my coach helped me to understand the game, said Paul. The coaching skills of Mr. Burke were appreciated by other members of the team. Peter Gomes commented, Our coaches taught us very well. They taught us to be good individual players and to work well as a team. The coach had praise for his players. Coach Burke said, This was my first year coaching at this level. I was very impressed with the de- sire and heart of the players. Coach Carson will have some fine players on the varsity in the near future. Singling out the t op players was difficult. Russell Teehan was named most im- proved and Joe Clougherty was awarded MVP honors. The 9-9 season of the sub varsity soccer team didn ' t do the team justice. The mis- leading final record ignored the scoring statistics that showed the Wamps either winning by large margins or losing by very small ones. In a season that gave the coach nightmares the team lost five games by a single goal. The greatest accomplish- ment of the team was shut- ting out Framingham North 3-0. Remarkable because Framingham North lost only that single game to Braintree during the long and grueling season. Said Larry Cummings of the match, We all played a really great game and we all really wanted to win. The squad enjoyed a sea- son mainly free of serious in- juries. One casualty was Ted Sargent who was forced to miss ten games due to a broken collar bone. Players who will provide the nucleus of future strong Braintree teams will be Mike McNally, Harry Keegan, Steve Cahill, Mike Hannigan, Matt White and Larry Cum- mings. The hardest part of our season was losing five gannes by 1-0 scores.

Jim Daylor and Matt Corcoran flank a Norwood pacer. The general cry from Braintree ' s cross country team to their trailing oppo- nents was eat my dust as the Wamps posted an impressive 8-1 record cap- turing second place in the league and 9-1 overall. The Wamps only loss was to league champion, un- defeated Walpole. Most of the wins were easy. As Frank Small not- ed, No one but Walpole gave us any trouble. The positions may reverse next year as Walpole loses its top runners due to graduation, while Brain- tree retains almost its en- tire squad. Credit Braintree ' s suc- cess to its endlless prac- tices, mile on mile seven days a week. The vigorous 1 58 Cross Country training made the team mentally and physically fit and able to take on league powerhouses like Nor- wood and Wellesley. Dedham proved the team ' s best match with Braintree ' s runners captur- ing the top six places. Jim Daylor lowered the school record for the 2.6 mile course from 12:48 to 1 2:43 and then John Met- ro broke it again to 12:33. Piling up impressive stat- istics for BHS was John Metro who was the first sophomore to finish in the State cross country cham- pionships. This is the best year we have had in a long time with hopes of winning the league championship next year, said Coach Butler. The future success of the team will depend on the health of the young squad and the maturation of the fine underclassmen in the junior varsity. The 1 -8 record of the jv runners did not reflect the talent on the squad, stat- ed Jim Daylor. Co-captain Frank Small spoke for all the runners. I was happy to take part in such a fine season. The most improved run- ners for the season were Capt. Jim Daylor and John McDonough. In the near future we can see Marc Cardillo and Rob Love, presently on the J.V., as promising Varsity runners. It can be seen that Matt Corcoran and John Metro show strong potential and may eventually be a domi- nating force in the state. Coach Butler put his time and effort into the team and pushes them into be- ing the overpowering force that they are today. ' Braintree should dominate the Bay State League for the next few years.

Those who understand it find it a special sport where unique- ly fit individuals are able to run for twenty minutes at a stretch while holding in re- serve energy for lightning quick sprints. Jennifer Somers, Eleanor North and Lorraine Palmer were just three of the talent- ed members of the jv squad. Eleanor ' s ability enabled her to compete at the varsity level for two matches at the sweeper back position. Coach Smith considered the achievement, a tre- mendous effort. Captain Beth Murphy led the team after a torn qua- dricep sidelined starting goalie Maureen Froio for the season. Ably filling in at the goalie position, Beth Murphy helped to stabilize the team. High scorers were Kathy O ' Gara, Janene Barry and Joanna Flynn. Playing though plagued with colds and coughs, the team post- ed some exciting wins and played its best game of the season against Fra- mingham South. Memorable for its absurd playing conditions was the field at Dedham with it ' s go- pher holes, downhill slopes and torn up infield. No such problems pla- gued the varsity golf team. The worst problem they en- countered in their 5-1 -1 sea- son was a disqualification for improper dress in a match at the Framingham Country Club. Those things just don ' t happen in Brain- tree. The match had no im- pact on the Wamps second place finish in the BSL so it was never an issue. The two victories over Needham and Wellesley proved the highlights of the season for the Braintree golfers. The only senior of the squad Paul Haddad played well and was sup- ported by juniors Kevin Hea- ly, Eric Stoyle, Dave Cronin and John Houlihan. Sopho- mores Steve Harris and Ron Barron started every match for Braintree. John Castle, Robert Kearney and Paul Anderson alternated in the eighth spot on the roster. Although the season was a match short, it was a suc- cessful one for the Wamp golfers. Game 10 against Framingham South was a definite high- light of our season.

Although it was a winless season, the team fought until the bitter end. The disappointing record of 0-17-1 was tough to take when the girls played their hearts out against incredi- ble odds. We tried hard, said cen- ter halfback Donna Jan- kowski. And we had a great time. Braintree ' s best game of the year was against tour- nament team Milton in their second matchup and the fi- nal game of the season. Mil- ton was surprised to meet a fired up Braintree squad and didn ' t score until the twenty-nine minute mark of the first half. Braintree fought back and played their strongest defensive game of the year keeping Milton ' s high powered of- fense silent. The game ended with an exhausted Milton ahead by the score of 1-0, a game which Milton might reason- ably have expected to be a runaway victory against an overmatched Braintree team. Coach Connolly noted that playing an inexperi- enced squad against the legends of the BSL created a lot of pressure for the young team. A second problem was that of only 1 3 players on the varsity squad. The lack of substi- tutes meant that many starters had to play the en- tire game. Against powers like Walpole and Norwood that meant that the girls were in a full scale battle for sixty minutes. Goalie Gretchen Twohig was named Bay State League all star goalie for the tremendous job she did all season. Field hockey skills are difficult to learn and take time to master. Coach Connolly Varsity Field Hockey 163 They come out in the wet cold of the fall in miniskirts and leotards, shaking pom- poms and carrying batons, not to be cheered, but to cheer up the crowd and pro- vide entertainment and spectacle during football game halftimes. They are the members of the Brain- tree High Pep Squad and majorettes. Why do they do it? Said Susan Corsini, ”1 have met many girls on the squad who I enjoy working with.” Some of the girls who per- form in the Pep Squad have other motives for their par- ticipation. Said Lisa Young- worth, We get out of our gym requirement by being on the Pep Squad.” But being a member of the two squads means a lot more than fun and free tick- ets. The girls put a lot of hard work into their rou- tines changing them com- pletely every season, which means practice, practice, and more practice. Twirler Lisa DiNatale ex- plained, It takes at least three practices a week dur- ing the season to go over the new routines and the old ones.” Like the majorettes, the Pep Squad is truly a group effort. Not only in perfor- mances and practices do the girls join forces but also in planning the routines. Jen Curly, Pep Squad co- captain, explained how the elaborate dance routines were put together. Every- one gets together and de- cides on the songs. We ' re democratic and the major- ity vote system is used. Afterwards a few people get together and make up the final routine.” A lot of hard work is in- volved in both groups, but team members stand to gain a lot from the exper- ience. Some of the bene- fits? New friends, apprecia- tion from the crowds and hopefully a cheer or two for themselves. was really nervous going out there, but I felt relieved when the crowd cheered.

Pep Squad and Majorettes 165 4 Braintree High ' s cheer- leaders had their best sea- son ever in 1 985. The team came in fourth in the Bay State League competition held before a large crowd at the H. Frederick Herget sta- dium. This was a huge im- provement over their last place finish in the same competition in 1984. Coached by former BHS cheerleader Lori MacDon- ald, the team was able to improve its competitive edge by introducing a vari- ety of new cheers, and com- plicated routines including difficult mounts and daring pyramids. It ' s scary always being on top of the pyramids, admitted Joan Lane. The allure of the squad is evident in the response of the student body. Said Steve DeNicola, The cheerleaders are the spirit of the school. And indeed, the cheer- leaders are the epitome of spirit. At the homecoming pep rally the team was easi- ly able to rouse the crowd into a thundering ovation as they almost perfectly ex- ecuted their routines. As Mr. Grant said, ' The cheerleaders were excep- tional. They helped to make it a great rally. Cheerleading is not as easy as it may seem to the casual observer. Every Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday since June the team practices at the stadium for two to three hours. Before Pep rallies and competitions, the prac- tices lengthen to four hours. Perfection takes time and lots of hard work. It ' s nice to be back in the top four again, said Susan Smith, Karen Dyer and Carolyn Foley. We cheer because we like it, it ' s great fun being on a feam, commented An- drea Card. Agreed Chrissy Somers, It ' s just plain old fun. We meet all kinds of people, like other cheerleaders, and it ' s great being a part of the games and the fun. I like the coach a lot because she ' s young and knows what it ' s like being a cheerleader. I think she has really helped improve the team, Susan Smith.

The rifle team enjoys the thrill of zeroing in on their targets and attracts many stu- dents who wouldn ' t other- wise consider themselves athletes. Said Joe Gozzo, co-cap- tain of the squad and a three-year member of the team, like the people, the competition with other , teams and meeting people on the other teams, but I I don ' t like practice. ' Co-captain Debbie Bor- ! den admitted, ”1 strive to f be the best. The competi- tion is fun and exciting, I but I guess the thing I like I the most about being on ji the rifle team is the people involved in the sport. Competitors have dwin- dled in the last few years and the number of teams still competing in this sport has steadily declined. The only ones left in the Metropolitan Rifle League are the ones that always are in contention for the number one spot — Bos- ton Latin, Gloucester and Malden. New Bedford is a relatively new team (2 years) in the league. Brain- tree has always been known as a spoiler in the league. We ' ve been known to lose to weaker teams and yet, during the same year, we ' ll beat pre- viously unbeaten teams. There is always excellent competition, the coach concluded. The most dramatic moment on the rifle team, said Joe Gozzo, is when a member attains 1 00 out of a possible score of 100. But the sport is not all work, it does provide its fill of laughs, surely with coach Sevagian ' s quippy tongue always poised for a putdown or pun. Joe Gozzo recalls an amusing incident. On an away trip the team got stuck far from Braintree because the bus broke down, caus- ing us to arrive home late. The hardest part, says Debbie Borden, is at the end of the season when you have to say good-bye to all the seniors you have become good friends with. The next match is always the best one with the toughest opponent! Rifle Team 169 It is a cold weekday morn- ing, early, while their class- mates are still sleeping, the Braintree High Hockey team is practicing in a cold rink. Why get up so early for hockey? According to Neil Dimartinis Hockey is a one of a kind sport, it ' s worth waking up for. The whole team loves the sport so much, that getting up early isn ' t that bad. The sport of ice hockey is one that requires much time and training. Most players have been at the sport since an early age. The fast pace and hard hitting are two character- istics which attract both players and fans. As loyal Braintree fan Jimmy To- land says, It ' s the best ac- tion you can get for two bucks. Unfortunately though often times the fans get swept up in the excite- ment and rowdiness, re- sulting in fights in the stands or the loud yelling of insults. The trouble in the stands has even got- ten so bad at times that lo- cal police must be called in to break up the trouble. Despite the fans, the Braintree Hockey team continues to play and con- tinue with their season. With half the season al- ready over, the hockey team is looking forward to the second half of a suc- cessful season. As the sec- ond half begins Sean Rizzo, Braintree ' s goalie feels that the hockey team is much improved since the first half. As far as the players are con- cerned they are aiming for a Tournament berth. As far as the Tourney looks, we have a great shot to upset some top teams, boasts David Fasano. The team is convinced that they will finish up strong as long as they do what coach Vafides tells them to, score a goal! Bruno Umbro sits alone in the locker room after the gome.

Al- though the team did not win many games, the play- ers always seemed to give a 100%. Each player im- proved as the season pro- gressed. Rene Reeves said, My first year on varsity has been a great exper- ience for me. The win against Fra- mingham South gave the players more confidence in themselves and the team. According to Mary Ellen Gunn, Although we have not had a good sea- son this year, I predict Braintree will move up in the Bay State League in years to come. One of the co-captains and a leading scorer, Julie Walsh, was injured in the first game and had to watch her team lose the first three games of the season from the sidelines. Eager to keep the team spirits up, Mr. Laneau tried to make pratice fun. Sta- cey Hamelburg said that Mr. Laneau joined our ef- fort in trying to be phys- ically fit by doing the quote ' ten ' laps. Braintree improved most with the 1-4 press break as it had to be uti- lized many times. Patty Mochen spoke for the en- tire team when she said, I like the closeness of all of the team members. We play together, win togeth- er, and lose together. ' If self improvement equalled success, the girls would be state champs.

A histo- ry of many years of losses were turned around by both the jv and the fresh- man girls ' basketball teams as both posted very strong records for 1986. , Even against traditional- ly tough opponents Need- j ham and Walpole, the I freshman put up tough ’ battles. Led by offensive stars Erin Kelly, Julie Wood and Laurie Phalon, the Wamps edged out close victories over most of their opponents. The two point squeaker over Needham at Needham was one of many high points in the terrific season posted by the freshmen. Much of the success of the team was due to their strong defensive play where Tina Fahey and Pris- cilla Riley led the way. The heady sensation of suc- cess will be carried over into next season as the squad moves up to the jv ranks. Said Mr. McDonough, Two players to look for in the future are Andrea Ol- son and Jennifer Somers. Like the freshmen, the jv tteam enjoyed a very fine season. Stated Michelle Kelly, We win and have fun, so it makes all the practices worthwhile. Said Maureen Murphy, It ' s great being on a win- ning team, and having teammates like we do. It ' s a blast! And win they did, enjoying a fine winning season, with great playing from all the members of the team. Concluded Mi- chelle Cutler, Being a freshman, I was psyched to make jv, and even more when I met all the kids on the team. We win and have a wicked good time.

Junior Bill Coffey, the 6 foot 4 inch guard and co- 1 captain, led the team in scoring and averaged 23 points per game. He led the Bay State League in scoring average and will be one of the finest play- ers in Eastern Massachu- B setts next year. Senior center Jeff Pizzi spent his efforts averaging 9 points ' a game, and had at least two games in which he , scored 20 points. Sopho- i more John Metro was the best defensive player on the team from his guard position. Junior Mike McNally also showed plen- ty of potential at the for- ward position. One of the best games of the season was against Framingham South. Brain- tree defeated the opposi- tion with the final tally be- ing 58-47. The high scor- ers were Jeff Pizzi racking up 23, and senior co-cap- tain Curt Allen swishing in another 14. Another memorable game pitted the Wamps against Natick. Bill Coffey contributed an amazing 27 points, and Pat Jen- nings added another 1 1 . Despite a valiant effort by Braintree, they lost by the slim margin of 59-57. With the combination of skill, speed, and agility, the team worked for a suc- cessful season. Without a doubt, part of their suc- cess was due to the close friendships throughout the team. We may not be the most talented team, but somehow all of the players give a su- perior effort. Coach Fredericks Varsity Basketball 177 The freshman boys ' basketball team plowed through the opposition at the beginning of the sea- son. In one of their most exciting games, Braintree came back to defeat a stubborn Needham team 56-48. A key to the strong season was the offensive power of the squad. Greg Martin and Paul Brennan led the way with the top scoring averages on the team. Hustling to make the defense work were Paul Amorosino and Nicky Ruckey. The combination of power on the offense and a pressing defense made Braintree a tough opponent all season long. Tic Coach Sutton ' s aim, to win more than we lose was easily accomplished by the strong freshman squad. Like the freshmen, the jv squad also had a fine sea- son. Early in the season, the team punished pre- viously undefeated Natick by 55-44. They went on to pull out a squeaker against Walpole in the last seconds on a prayer of a shot launched by Bill Por- ter from almost midcourt. Bill ' s sharpshooting ex- ploits on the offensive end were complemented by strong play from Warren Fredericks and Dan Allen. Defensively, Porter, Joe Molloy and Dan Parker led the way. Said Coach Crook of his players, This is the youn- gest jv team we ' ve had in the past five years. Be- cause of this, the team is constantly improving. No doubt the opposition hopes that Braintree ' s ju- nior varsity and freshman teams stop improving be- fore the next season starts. If I ever have to go in front of a firing squad, I want them to have the rifles.

All work and no play? No way, not with the 1985 State Champions looking to repeat and retain their title. Head over heels on the uneven bars were the varsity gymnastic team members. ' The team really sticks together, said Cheryl Ab- bood. There is great spirit and total team effort. What every team wants and strives for was what Braintree had this year, a close knit group and a win- ning record. Meet after meet, the members of the team showed their stuff. Following up on the State Championship, which the team won in 1985, the members con- tinued their winning tradi- tion with consistently high team scores in their meets. 134.5 was enough to de- feat previously undefeat- ed Framingham North as Braintree plowed through the opposition. Most team members have been involved in the sport for at least ten years. Why would anyone go through years of sprains, fractures, aches and pains? Said Kristen Swain, It ' s really easy to get hurt, but you forget all about the bruises when you do a good routine or win a tough meet. Keeping your outlook positive is a help in ready- ing yourself for a meef. Commented Kathy Mattu- chio, I mostly dislike the frustration you have when you make a mistake, but you just have to forget about it and try again. That competitive spirit made the gymnasts of Braintree High winners again. I wasn ' t sure if the team was going to be as strong as in the past few years, said coach Dave Ellis, but they ' ve really worked hard to maintain their record. They ' re doin GREAT!!

The jv cheerleaders do a cheer for the home team, Laurie Walsh cheers from the bench. Poise, style, grace and perfection are stressed by the coaches of the girls ' jv gymnastics team. Brain- tree has the distinction of having the only junior var- sity gymnastics team in the state. Since they have no competition on their own level, they find them- selves matched against varsity teams from outside the Bay State League. Even though matched against more experienced opponents, the team has established a winning tra- dition. Members polish their skills in hopes of moving up to the varsity squad. but compete fiercely in the meantime. Sophomore Laurie McNabb commented, I love gymnastics and I ' ve been doing it since I was very little. For me perform- ing at BHS is the best be- cause I feel secure about the equipment. Sheila Thompson ad- mitted, ' ' I enjoy gymnas- tics not only for the com- petition, but also for the sportsmanship. Members of the jv cheerleading squad are also competitive with the same hopes of learning the basics so that they can move up to the varsity when the opportunity arises. Coached by former BHS cheerleader Lori MacDon- ald, the squad performed some very demanding rou- tines. Members are true athletes and enjoy the de- mands of difficult maneu- vers. Said Robin Muccini, ' ' Our coach teaches us routines and we add our suggestions. I like cheering because you get to be better friends with the kids and it ' s good fun, admitted Cheryl Oster. I like cheering because it ' s fun. Learning new cheers is great. What I don ' t like, said Regina Monac, is cheering only at home games.

These are the typi- cal features of a wrestling match. Winning the meets and pinning your man is a great feeling, but losing and the practices stink,” confessed John Aceto. Wrestling is not as easy as it looks. The hours of practice, injuries, aching muscles, and bruised egos are all part of the life of the high school grappler. It ' s the hardest sport at the high school, com- mented Wayne Presutti. Said Mike Murray, It ' s the ultimate endurance sport. The wrestlers had a good season in ' 86. John Greene spent the year be- ing completely undefeat- ed — the only one on the team to do so. Also doing quite well was Steve Bar- ron, who suffered only one defeat. Brian McGourty had an excellent year in the low weight classes. The spirit of the ' 86 wrestlers was truly amaz- ing. It was a team that had not done well the past six or seven years and this year was one of the best seasons that Braintree had ever had, Brian McGourty enthusiastically admitted. Bob Smith agreed. It is a great honor to partake of such a noble sport as wrestling. The high caliber of coaching contributes greatly to the nobility of the team, and the vener- able quality and sports- manship of every team member.” Steve Barron, although he agreed with Bob, felt that the wrestlers de- served more credit. Wrestlers do not get the respect that we deserve. With the practices and making weight, it is a tough sport.” We ' re doing a heck of a lot better than last year. Coach Lovejoy Wrestling 1 85 It has to be one of the most difficult sports in which high school stu- dents compete. It requires not only endurance, but also strength, flexibility, coordination and great concentration. You have to be mentally strong be- cause mistakes and breaks in routines are common occurrences. Aches and pains are al- ways with you so you have to be physically strong as well. The gymnasts of BHS proved that they could beat the odds and suc- ceed in this difficult sport. Under the guidance of first year coach Richie Ellis, the team met with success. Led by senior tri-cap- tains Steve Rusconi, Ken- dall Norling and Bill Hol- brook, the team took on opposition from the BSL and beyond. Rusconi had a terrific season, leading the team in all-around scoring wth a mark of 37.45. Making a strong comeback after a back injury was Kendall Norling who went on to compete on the parallel bars and horse. Bill Hol- brook provided consistent scoring on the horse and rings as well as in the floor exercise. In addition to the seniors on the squad, junior John Garvey was a major factor in every meet. Second on the squad with a strong to- tal in the all-around, Gar- vey was able to provide consistent scoring. Recalling an unforgetta- ble moment in their four shared years of competi- tion together, Kendall Norling remembered, Steve Rusconi was on the rings and was lowering into a very difficult move called an iron cross. His hand and arm slipped through the ring and he was stuck.” Steve and the team wer- en ' t stuck often as they posted a fine season re- cord. ' ' You have a sense of flying and free- dom that you don ' t get in other sports.

Around and around they go, the sprint- ers and distance runners of the indoor track team pounding out their prac- tice dashes and laps and causing casual pedestri- ans to duck for cover. Coach Butler was opti- mistic about his team. There are a lot of strong people, but we don ' t have a very big team. Even though their num- bers were small, there was plenty of team spirit to go around. Frank Small ex- plained part of the reason for the team ' s motivation. Ted Novio is the team cheerleader because he doesn ' t run much. Ted is saving himself for the spring season, said Frank. Many of the members of the track team have been together for a long time and have plenty of memories. Karen Higgins remembered, I can re- member the girls on the team trying to do sixty pu- shups! And then there was the time when the year- book photographer had to run from a stray shotput toss. Besides the usual ex- haustion and bruises that accompany any season. the team has been trou- bled by injuries. Kathy Disher was sidelined by knee problems, and Rich Carrington with leg cramps. There were some real standouts in the Braintree indoor season. Dan Ma- honey, by his own estima- tion ' the fastest kid in town ' , led the league in the 50 yard dash. Frank Small was primed to set a new BSL record in the 600 yard dash. The many girls on the in- door team didn ' t have a regular schedule of winter competition because most BSL teams do not carry a girls ' track team. Said Ka- ren Higgins, Girls, you ' re e getting in shape for out- door track and that ' s it. There have been a few disappoint- ments, but overall it I has been a good; season.

When Brain- tree ' s jv hockey team took the ice against their oppo- nents in 1 986, it was to score goals and rack up victories. The Wamps turned the opposition up- side down with a long string of wins. Although the payoff for long hours of practice was the thrill of victory, playing on a high school hockey team is not an easy thing to manage. To get up for hockey practice when it ' s still dark out every morn- ing before school starts is pretty hard to get used to. The demands on your time are only part of the com- mitment a hockey player assumes. There is also the physically demanding na- ture of the sport. So why do they do it? ' ' The excitement of the competition! admitted Tim McDevit, one of the two goalies on the squad. Goalie Rick Welch said, I like hockey because it ' s a game with non-stop ac- tion. The satisfaction of knowing that you are part of a team with your own responsibilities means a lot to me. Losing is never fun, but it is part of sports. Fortu- nately this year, the Wamps didn ' t lose often. Most of the reason for their fine season can be traced to several basic facts. Said Coach Darling, This year we had good team depth at every posi- tion and good player abili- ty. With four balanced lines of forwards and four steady defensemen we were a strong force. Having two excellent goalies, Rick Welch and Tim McDevitt didn ' t hurt the season record either. Braintree posted a fine record and the league will have to watch out when these players blend into the varsity ranks next sea- son. We have no out- standing players. We win with a team effort!

The class of 1987 hadn ' t been doing as well as other classes and I wanted to be part of the change for the better which has since happened. This year with enthusiastic officers the class of 1 989 has shown a surprising amoun t of cohesiveness and spirit. Rob Kilgore, the freshman treasurer, was typical of the core of future leaders. Said Rob, ”1 ran for treasurer because I wanted to participate in student govern- ment activities. By getting involved in school projects you make friends and really get more from your education. Like many other dedicated public ser- vants sophomore treasurer Dan Szecs- kas was motivated by a willingness to serve. He commented, ”1 ran for office not only to raise money for proms and for the school, but to encourage enthu- siasm and spirit in my class. With a small amount of funds in their treasury at the beginning of the year, the junior class decided that it was time to get on the right track. Treasurer Mary Ellen Gunn described the success of the efforts of the class members. In the first two months alone the class raised more than $800. With the most money to raise to defer the costs of the senior prom, class presi- dent Tom Fisher discussed his motiva- tion in running for office. Said Fisher, ”1 ran for president in hopes of improving school spirit and also to encourage par- ticipation in class fundraisers and activi- ties. The class of 1 986 has succeeded in establishing a solid treasury and in ac- tively coming together to raise money for its specific goals. Stringing along some class of 1987 spirit on the homecoming float was Tom Hamill. The spirit of the class was enough to impress the Booster Club judges who awarded the Class of 1987 first prize and $100 for the class treasury. The freshman float showed a good deal of cooperation and helped to get the class off to their best start in years. Karen Davis helped to raise money for her class during the car wash and flower sale at the town hall. George Keegan adds the finishing touches to the sopho- more float. Senior Rich Mazzola, Jim T oland and Kerri Morrissey get ready to add the 86 to the class float. 192 Sponsored by Mr. and Mrs. Peter J.

The spirit from the student body originated from the SG. You ' ll find them attending meetings of the school com- mittee, flipping hot dogs at the football concession stand, wrapping presents for hospitalized children at Christmas time and working on fund raising drives to benefit their classes. These hard working, but enthusiastic people are the members of the BHS student govern- ment. Fellow member Joe Powers explained, Being a member of student govern- ment teaches you to be responsible. If a person agrees to run or to help some- one else with a particular project, you have to be sure that the person follows through. The new adviser, Mr. McDonough, did a lot to revolutionize the group. One very graphic demonstration of the in- creased visibility of SG members was in the pep rallies held before key football games. Never before had the SG adviser and president addressed the student body at such a gathering. Another effort undertaken by the group was SADD. The group tries to make students aware of the dangers of drinking and driving. Active in peer counseling, participation in a candle- light vigil with MADD and an annual pre- prom campaign. Co-Senior Presidents Kristen McGrath and Curt Allen stressed the importance of the issue. They said many of their friends were in- volved and they got to meet kids from different grades.

Said French enthusiast Lisa Mafrici, ”1 enjoy the French language and I am in- terested in their culture. Spanish is probably the most popular language taught at BHS. Being a mem- ber of the honor society helps the stu- dents in class as well as out of it. The responsibilities involved in honor society membership involve working with ex- change students, attending meetings and preparing ethnic delicacies. Chur- ros and chocolate were authentic eth- nic foods which were served to visitors at the Open House by members of the society. The Junior Classical League which is open to honor students in Latin has plans this year to participate in Classics Day at Tufts University. In addition, a tour of Boston involving Classics on the Freedom Trail is planned. The Latin language is not necessarily spoken by members of the group. Mem- bership is valuable however. Said Kevin Manning, Studying Latin increases your intellectual ability. Overall academic excellence is a pre- requisite for membership in the National Honor Society. Members are very active and participate as ushers on Parent ' s Night, volunteer as tutors, run a raffle fundraiser and are in charge of the Awards Night Assembly .

Fennessey n any given Sunday, when the W W weather was clear, a quick trip to New Hampshire found Brain- tree ' s hiking club clambering up moun- tains. The intrepid group had conquered three mountains before winter closed in and had great activities planned includ- ing an overnight stay on a mountain to view Halley ' s Comet. There are no words that can de- scribe the feeling of climbing a moun- tain and actually reaching the top, commented Ms. Chmielinski, the club ' s adviser. Rather than hiking to the top, the members of the ski club preferred to take a lift. Trips left Braintree at the heart breaking hours of the early morn- ing, but the prices were right. Among the trips taken were excursions to Wild- cat, Sugarbush and Loon. While some were enjoying nature, others were writing about it, hoping to get their work into the next edition of Stone Soup. The literary art magazine won second place from the Columbia Press Association for the 1 985 issue and hoped to do even better in 1986. It ' s going to be a good year! Kathy Divine emphasized. Being on the staff also required time, dedication and responsibility. Treasurer Sheila Sweeney summed it up well, Each committee and person has to do their job to get a finished product which we can all appreciate. Another superior product was the 1986 yearbook. The staff sweated through Ms. Conklin ' s anguish over deadlines, put up with the vindictive McIntosh computer, and coped with re- calcitrant grease pencils while bravely striving to get the yearbook done on time. Said staffer Chris Lane, It ' s a lot of hard work, but seeing the finished prod- uct is great! Clubs and Activities 199 I BAND: Front row (left to right): K. O ' Goro, T. Ronieri, P. O ' Brien, B.

These musicians are members of the Band, Jazz Band, Or- chestra, and Chamber Orchestra. Some students may see the band as something which just comes together all by itself, but as Jason Fuller said, It ' s a team effort. Each person has to be re- sponsible for his own share. They also have to learn to work together to have coherence in the different types of mu- sic in the repetoire. Representing the school at many ac- tivities is the Jazz Band. They have par- ticipated in and achieved high honors at state wide concerts. Mr. Shaffer invit- ed me to audition, stated Kelly Heffer- nan. I like to participate in this because I have a keen interest in jazz music. The Orchestra gives students a sense of achievement when they accomplish their goals. At the beginning of high school they meet new friends and begin to feel like they belong. The group is made of the string instruments and var- ious members are chosen from the band. The Chamber Orchestra is solely stringed instruments. We are really en- ergetic and have a very powerful sound, commented Jennifer Pacelli of the specialized groups to which she be- longs. Said Thouraya Raiss, I enjoy music and playing the violin. It gives me a sense of achievement. Commented Danielle Palmer, a mem- ber of the band, Participation gives me a chance to enhance my musical ability and to make lasting friendships. CHAMBER ORCHESTRA; Front rowdeft to right); T.

COMPUTER AIDES (left to right): Duane Morin, Derek Wallace, Mike Daley, Rob Phillips, Kenny Clark. 202 Sponsored by Ed Elaine Kelly T he rise in high technology has hod a tremendous effect on BHS. There has been an increas- ing need for many computers and as a result of the interest in comput- er literacy there has been a dramatic need for computer aides. They assist other students in acquiring a knowledge of the computer language. Other students who enjoy the math- ematical field have joined the math team. They travel to other schools and compete in meets to determine the schools with the best math ability. As Rob Phillips said, ”1 like the free food. It is also a challenge.” Also in a technological field are the A.V. aides who see to the maintenance and care of the A.V. Equipment. They assist the teachers who cannot figure out the complex machines. The other half of the music depart- ment belongs to the singers, the Cho- rale and DaCamera Singers. The Cho- rale is made up of students asked to audition by Dr. Dewey. All the students belong because they like to sing and en- joy performing. Just like almost every- thing else it requires a group effort,” stated senior Kerry Rockwood. In the tradition of Medieval singers, the DaCamera group is made up of a few select singers. They dress in tradi- tional costumes and sing without musi- cal accompaniment. They use only the instruments which they hold and play while singing. Bill Fortin works with the Apple in the computer lob. Scott Lovett sorts out the chaos of the AV lab. Kim Cole, Barbara Fostello, and Jim Widdop, members of the chorale, add their music to the chorus. The chorale in their stylish dress made a good impression at the winter concert.

Said Metco student, Damion Howell, I do it because I ' m striving for higher education- al status. Being in Metco helps us to build up our edu- cation. Junior Karla Harris com- mented, ”1 participate in Metco because I feel it ' s good for blacks to go to a different environment for school. It ' s appealing to have a good education. Senior art students are reaching too, but their goals involve constructing a port- folio which will make it easier for them to be admitted to colleges and art schools. Said Heidi Strauss, The pres- sure is getting to me. I ' ll never get into my school with not even half of my portfolio fin- ished yet! It takes a lot of time to put together the best work of the year, but when I ' m done, I feel that my portfolio will be very good, said senior Tracy Parker. Senior Steve Harris helped to set up displays of Braintree art at S.S. Plaza. Todd Richmond ' s flair for the dra- matic was obvious in his stunning mask.

I From the start we ' ve scratched and iciawed our way to the top. Freshman year was a test of our endurance, and lability to withstand overwhelming amounts of abuse. Instantly, we were branded FROSH . The initiation trials began. From being sent to the nonexis- (tent 4th floor, to being heartily assured that Mr. LeRoy should be addressed as ' Ffey Big John , we quickly learned the fine arts of high school survival. Crawling out of the sludge, we be- came Sophomores. A docile group, we know now that carrying every single book we owned with us for the entire day was not a necessity. We quietly flourished. Junior year materialized. We revelled in our new found freedoms, and made it clear to all that we were UPPER CLASS- MEN . In short, we were an obnoxious bunch. And so, we achieved our goal: we be- came SENIORS. And we leave BHS with no trumpets, no marching bands, no hot air balloons soaring over head, yet with a humble cry of victory. Making their sentimental getaway, are: Corey Hatcher, Laura Kirwin, Bill Holbrook, Keelin Smith, Heidi Strauss and Steve DeNicola. k The End 205 IHATS UNBEATABLE JUNCTION OF RTS. 3 128 • BRAINTREE, MASSACHUSETTS • FILENE S, JORDAN MARSH, LORD TAYLOR, SEARS PLUS 120 FINE STORES SERVICES • OPEN MONDAY THRU SATURDAY • 10 AM TO 10 PM • SUNDAYS NOON TO 6 PM 206 BEST WISHES TO BRAINTREE HIGH SCHOOL CLASS OF 1986 Coke is it! from your local bottlers of Coca-Cola 825 Granite Street Braintree, Ma. 02184 Enjoy Coke Trade-mark @ un ?iE Listing Q.
