That night’s loss gave us second place in ,n sectionals for the second straight year. Shivering in the October air, Ken Keating and Bill Eastman anticipate the upcoming track meet with CNS. Although the team lost, Joe Saraceni burned up the track to set a new record and take first place. In the heat of summer, bathing suits, good friends and a cool lake always go well togeth- er. Steve Peters, Theresa Groman and her cousin, Scott dive into the water around Cedar Isle in the 1000 Islands. rr A spark r That’s all it took. One single element dictated the whole course of the year. What started it all was done by only a few people. The spirit, the pride, the hope and the glory all had their origins in this one event. Oh, it wasn’t an earthshaking event, not even talked about much after, but it was the initial display of | warmth that made everyone feel welcome. It covered the entire front of the building with a high intensity message that summed it all up. We are the class of 1989, greetings to all the new sophomores, and a warm welcome back to the juniors, best of luck to all. Ignition. Then it began to flare up. For too long, Baldwinsville has been put down by the surrounding towns and, yes, by its own residents. But this year, we were going to show them what we were all about. Spirit was higher, and there was an overall comradery between the students and even between the grades. Feeding the fire. Attendance at school related events, usually a disaster, was up. The Homecoming Dance and Flower Sale were great successes. And many people changed their fashion statements for one week in October to correspond to Spirit Week. Students were prepared to be proud of their teams, their school and their town, all they needed was something to get them going. Fanning the flames. Like a flashfire, it spread first through the school, and then into the town. Everywhere Baker students went, our presence was felt. At the malls, someone was bound to be wearing a Baldwinsville wrestling jacket. At the bank, people would proudly pull out their school I.D. as proof to cash a check. And in the stores, if our courteous, friendly and cheerful manner couldn’t be found behind the counter, it was certainly abundant in the aisles. That’s what it was all about. We weren’t going to take it anymore. And so we fought back, and let our pride shine through. We certainly weren’t the first to feel this way, but the first in a long while. We are a shining chapter in the book of B’ville. A Hot Edition” for the town. Jeff Bennett n,nS3 I : A variety of thrills and chills can be found at Darien Lake theme park where last years juniors went for their class trip. The adventuresome were bound to be seen riding the screamin' Viper. Even outside of the classroom, the electricity of the students could still be felt. We didn’t give up our fervor beyond the walls of Baker. In fact, we carried it with us into every aspect of our student life. At every social event, the heat could be felt. From the warmth of a friendly greeting at your locker or a note from your friend, the conflagration grew into the exuberance that existed at the pep rallies. Off-campus, it spread like wildfire. At every mall, there was a spark that would rekindle our spir- it. Perhaps, it was hearing the vibrant sounds of the latest band, or seeing the hottest new fashion. Recreational activities were on the leading edge, and the telephone was like a live wdre. It even seemed that our favorite foods were the spicy ones. Our student life was like an ex- plosive charge set to go off and make whatever we do the freshest, most exhilarating, hottest action we could. Jeff Bennect I i 4 Student Life Divider Patricia Johnson What would student life be without friends? Jenny Prall often meets with a group of hers, Stacy Duger, Carole Gleeson and Carry Bombardo, to discuss all the new gossip, the latest fashion and the hottest music. The one thing that we all agree that we love is food. Robyn Keller takes time out from her homework to share a pretzel with Michelle Cooper and Jenny Kenney during her lunch period. Student Life Divider 5 Looking your best with your Fashion Sense For many, the most important deci- sion to be made all day is what to wear. Your fashion statement is something that conveys your personality. Whether you follow the latest fad and style, or if you go against all the rules” to create your own personal look determines your clothing statement. As Chrissy Sprague puts it, Fashion is a statement, not a question.” As you walk through the halls, you’ll see many styles. Bill Spicer describes his fashion statement as regular jeans, T- shirt and no cologne. Even choosing what brand name of jeans to buy is dif- ficult with so many names on the mar- ket. Lee, Levis, Union Bay, Bugle Boy and Guess are only a few of the patches seen on local pockets. Then you have the more individualistic dressers, who stay as far as possible from store labels and shop the thrift stores like Salvation Army, Rescue Mission and then actual vintage clothes' stores such as Second Hand Rose and Baby Booms. As Shan- non Ryan puts it, the only you can say about them is that some styles are real- ly outrageous, but to each his own. On the other hand, Shannon Wadsworth comments, If you're too trendy, you begin to look like everyone else.” Lisa Olejarz responds, I always try to be original!” Many people, though, seem to have a variety of styles which change from day to day and mood to mood. Fashion cha- meleon, Miky McCall describes hers simply as, It varies. Sometimes, it's the sophisticated look all the way—stock- ings, underwear, jewelry, the works. Oth- er times, it's the fun, funky look—a flippy skirt, wild earrings and a creative hairdo. Then there's the times when I'm 'bumming it,' I won’t describe it—let's just say a few unfortunate people have seen me when I was totally bummed out and, well, they've never been the same since! But mostly, my fashion statement is, well, just me. An original!” Katrina Donaghey A button-down shirt with the tails hanging out as well as a good pair of dark ••shades ’ is a hot look for the '80's man such as Bob Steen. Baggy Pants and rolled up jeans appear to be the in look.

I' The really stylish might be able to get a job as a model like Trish Keckison, Patty Hamilton and Carol Gleeson who show off the latest summer fashions. Fashion 7 I I the art of Graffiti . . . Look around and you can't help no- ticing graffiti. It’s everywhere—on books and notebooks, tables and walls. But what exactly is graffiti? Ac- cording to Webster’s, it’s a crude drawing or inscription scratched on a wall or other surface, usually so as to be seen by the public.” Maybe the definition, writing on books, bridges, buildings, and anything else you can find, just for fun, is more appropriate. Or perhaps, funny pictures, sayings and doodles people scribble all over everything they can get their hands on?” However you explain it, graffiti is a common sight throughout the school. It is just as prevalent around town, where it can be seen jin such places as the Route 690 bridge, where there’s bound tcj be a spray-painted tribute to the mist recent class. But why do with graffiti? It's I at; it’s not sometHHBHfi to do, in fact, teachers didn't write over the oks and and ... Hommon reason among around plaster lur lives beautiful to look the school is “classes are so boring, there’s nothing better to do. Heather Kinnear explains, There's a pen and something to write on so you do it. There really isn't a ’why?’ It’s just something you do.” Another analysis of the action posed by Kristen Welcher: It’s really an unconscious thing. You don’t even realize you’re doodling until you look down and your book is suddenly covered with unidentifiable drawings.” OK, so now you know why we put graffiti all over. But when is the most popular time to doodle? Many people agree that they create their best works in social studies, English, math or science. Any other period is just as good, though. Graffiti of any sort and done at anytime seems to be acceptable. So now that you’re all experts, go out into the world and spread the word: graffiti!” Dawn Varacchi My lunch period is the only time I can write notes to Chris DeLorm. If I didn’t have sixth period lunch, I wouldn't be able to talk to her until after school. —Kristin Maffei . i I : 8 Graffiti Erika Muench Jeff Bennett The ultimate display of graffiti was on display the first day of school when the seniors went all out to make everyone feel welcome. More banners and messages filled the inside of the building. Even the teenagers get caught up in the spirit of things at times. Mrs. Goff lets everyone know who her favorite football team is with her chalkboard graffiti message. I Mike the notes we write are hi!” At other times, they mplex, such as Are we her this weekend?” This Mnswered by yeah.” Then, s bounce back and forth Whenever.”, When’s tc. By this point most of revolved around this tiny er. The note has been etly from hand to hand across the room. Of ardly looks like paper as been transformed into accordian-pleated fans by lelped it along. If any of arties were to be caught, getti ques s the whe the c scrap passe and cour those the i punishment might be as mild as a stern stare. On the other hand, the in- criminated person may be told to hand it over,” placing themselves at the mercy of whomever took it. But those are the risks that have to be tak- en if some hot gossip is to be gained. There are many reasons for passing notes rather than taking notes. Perhaps, the best is Stacey Town's ex- planation, Note passing is something to keep you busy when you're not in a learning mood! Whatever the situa- tion, chances are someone is writing a note. Go ahead and pass it on—but don't peek. Notewriting 9 and writing Notes We go to school to learn to write, so we should be able to write what we want, when we want,” insists Michele Scala in Mr. Bassett's fifth period psychology class. Sometimes, you have to take notes as well as pass them. Mike Peters studies for his social studies class during his fourth period study hall. Laura Avery Stopping for a rest, Carrie Bombardo and Lisa Deil stand back and watch their friends dance. Trish Keckison, Carol Gleeson and Patty Hamilton pose early in the evening in their prom dresses before heading off to the prom. Bryan Jacobs Patty Hamilton Half of the fun of the prom is dressing up and being seen with that someone special. Jamie Thompson and Donna Tracy stopped dancing long enough to pose for the camera and have something to remember the night by. But, you can only act proper for so long when you're surrounded by so many close friends. Steve Peters, Adam James and Theresa Groman ham it up with this self-portrait. I I 1 i ! 10 Junior Prom Erika Muench } That Someone Special at The Junior Prom It was the happening scene, every- one was there!” That’s how Tom Patterson described last year’s Junior Prom. For most juniors, the Junior Prom is a big event. Rob Burkhart says the Junior Prom is quote unquote a place you go if you’re a junior. A major decision for most girls is what to wear. Donna Bestor had quite an adventure finding her dress. I went through Camillus Mall until I got to Ups-n-Downs. The lady got all of the dresses that she thought would fit me and look good; I tried every single one! The decision was made by the look on my date’s face.” Some people, such as Toni Bieganowski, don’t have any trouble finding a dress. It was the second store and about the fifth dress. I tried it on. I had to have it! Others, such as Erin Elliot, have trouble finding the right dress. In eighth grade, I saw Margaret Stevens go to her Senior Ball and I liked the dress a lot. So, I knew I wanted a dress just like it for my Prom. I looked for one similar, but couldn’t find it. So, I end- ed up borrowing it in the end. I waited until the last minute.” The boys’ gym was decorated with pink, white and gray balloons and streamers. Rod Stanton thought that the gym looked quaint, but appropri- ate.” According to Pat Kinane and Mike Palm, The best parts were the curtains and the big silver ball.” Activities after the Prom are a way many people end a perfect evening. Even though Jim Olin didn’t go to the prom he was quick to say, I went to the party.” What party? Shawn Spreague’s, of course. People just kept on coming even well after everything else WaS Closed. Katrina Donaghey After the prom, Tony Helms and Jenny Healtey went looking for more fun and excite- ment at a friend's party. Patty Hamilton Having spent most of the day primping to get ready for this evening's activities, Scott Schader and Jill Moffat take the time for one more picture of them at their best. All of the hours trying to find a dress and get a tuxedo that will coordinate with your date's outfit is worth it when you can stride into the ballroom in matching aparel like Mike Lyons and Celeste Clement did.

Lori Sierpina and Ju- lie Maffei say they always depend on each oth- er for a ride home after tennis practice, so Lori phones her father. 12 Necessities Erika Muench Little things we can’t live without— Necessities An old teddy bear, a well worn-in shirt or a best friend. Imagine life without these things. Could you survive living without life’s essentials? No more junk food or telephones. Don’t worry, we aren’t going to take these away from you. But what would happen if we did? I would absolutely die without boys and my telephone, states Becky Reith. Darlene Wagner remarks, I would miss my friends and family the most.” Sometimes, it's the obvious things that become essential for our day to day well-being. Jenn Reitz com- ments, Vaseline lip therapy . . . medi- cated!” And then there are those peo- ple who can’t survive without various flavors of their favorite brand of chewing gum. There is a wide variety of things that people would miss. Miss Boyle declares that she couldn’t live without any cameras. Hairspray,” says Tanya Gale, otherwise, my hair would flop! All Mr. Patchett asks people to give him is a little privacy—to be able to relax after a day here.” Oh, my purse, definitely my purse ... Hey where is my purse anyway,” asks Tanya Freisem as she scurries away to find it? Food, it’s got to be food, exclaims Tim Ostien. And what’s vital for Terri Mackey? Money; it's the most basic necessity for survival.” Whether it’s a close friend or an old, fluffy teddy bear, such as Jennifer Huntley’s Henry, there is something that life wouldn’t seem complete without. Michelyn McCall Everybody loves something soft and fluffy. That’s why life for Jennifer Huntley would be unbearable” without Henry, her stuffed teddy bear. Necessities 13 Temperature rising memories from a Hot Summer No more pencils, no more books, no more teachers dirty looks. It’s summer- time! After all that rigorous work, finally a chance to kick back, relax and leave your worries behind for two months. Summer is a great time for vacation. Of course, all of us just aren’t lucky enough to pack our bags and go. One of the fortunate ones, Dave Penafeather declares, I went to Virginia Beach and walked on the piers with women at my side.” A more practical person, Pete Lay- ton went to basketball camp to learn the latest moves in the game. Everybody loves a good party, and somebody, somewhere is having one. Heather Miller states that, ”Over the summer, I went to some parties just to check out the guys.” Other people like to go and talk, especially to hear all the gossip that would otherwise be missed over the summer. Everyone wants an easy summer job that will allow them to roll in the dough. Cheryl Witz found out that hav- ing a job takes getting used to; she doesn’t have much time to herself. Un- like some people, Nancy Mautz quit her job just to have time to be lazy. All Sarah Kingsbury could say about summer is it was like Del Monte peaches; no sugar added.” Pat Metzler and Mike Allen can sum it all up with one thought, Summer is a great time to catch some 'tasty waves and a cool buzz.’ Jennifer Huntley During the hot summer, Kris Maffei and Theresa Groman enjoy their time at the beach. On their vacation, Jill Moffat and Karen Fryer take time out to pose with Chip in Disney World. Tricia Geotzke, Jean Brussel, and Andrea Iosue sit down for a break after a hard JV tennis practice. «2 23 Theresa Groman Last summer, we found Talley Pierce hiding out at Long Branch Park, near Onondaga Lake. 14 Summer Erika Muench Jodi Cook Theresa Groman Robin Bregande, Chris Root. Kim Proulx, Kate Seymour, Kim Sugar, and Jennifer Huntley look like they’re having fun at Nancy Mautz’s birthday. During the summer, Steve Peters jumps for joy at Cedar Island. Summer 15 Stacy Dugar and Kelly Durkin stop at their lockers after school before cross country and soccer practice. Decorating lockers is a tradition for most stu- dents, and Tania Gale shows hers off. 16 Lockers While standing at her locker. Jennifer Reitz and Pat Metzler discuss their plans for the weekend. A great combination, you and your Locker As tedious as some classes may seem, the place where we spend the most time during the school day is at our lockers. With the eight passing times plus five minutes at each end of the day, our locker time is easily the longest and most social period of the day. During these brief four minutes, some of our closest friends are made. But this isn't much of a surprise. You have to be somewhat friendly with the people around you to be willing to cram your way through a tightly packed mass of arms and legs to lean precariously over someone kneeling on the floor desparately pulling on a notebook buried beneath a foot of de- bris in the locker next to yours while attempting to recall those three magic numbers. On the other hand, as Evelyn Volza laments, Lockers this year are the worst, because they changed them around and I’m not near my friends. Which brings up the most impor- tant criteria for a good locker—its lo- cation. I wish my locker was closer to my classes. It's often difficult to get to my locker in time because they're spread all over the place,” complains Jean Brussel. And where will your locker be situated? Answers Amy McBride, Never where you want it.” Lockers tell a lot about a person— whether or not they are decorated or clean. Mine is a mess because other people throw their stuff in too,” says Penny Brotherton. Much can be told about a person by what he keeps with- in. Some people decorate their lock- ers and make sure the inside is neat. But others just leave them looking dull and throw their belongings inside like they were junk,” remarks Nicole Butera. To these latter types the most unusual surprises are given, such as Steve Russett, who found a petrified peanut butter and jelly sandwich dur- ing locker clean out last year. Oh, just in case you feel that putting up with the mob around your locker or the lock that never wants to open isn't worth the hassle, talk to Chris Fowler who still doesn't have one. 3 Anytime is Mealtime FOOD—everyone thinks about it at one time or another. When it comes to lunchtime, soph- omore Andy Mancari declares No matter how hungry I am, I refuse to eat the school food. John Sherman differs in opinion, It's not really that bad.” The grilled cheese is pretty good,” comments Sue Dunn. And then there are some people who don’t even have a lunch period. But they can often get out of a class a little early to quickly munch on something. Many people are especially hungry for lunch because they skip breakfast. Junior T.J. Cavino is one who skips it because he claims he's not hungry that early in the morning. Junior Mary Beth Stier munches a bagel almost everyday for breakfast. Senior Scott Stocking’s favorite breakfast is slightly ... differ- ent. He loves eating chocolate chip cookies with Bugs Bunny and Pals grape drink. He likes all the vitamins in the drink as well as the free stickers. Dinnertime is where the true cooking skills (or lack of skills) shine through. Junior Penny Brotherton makes dinner quite often for her fam- ily. What’s her favorite meal to prepare? Home-made macaroni and cheese.” When absolutely desperate Scott Stocking will make Captain Crunch a la milk for his family. Now you know where to and not to accept an invitation to dinner ... People's favorite foods differ con- siderably. Mike Kulik’s favorite meal is beef stroganoff. Kelly Fairbanks and Rob Burkhart both agree that pizza is the best. Shannon Watt's tastes are a little more expensive: lobster. Whether you prefer pizza or lobster, to eat breakfast or not, it must be agreed that food makes the world go 'round. Not to mention a few people as well!! Students, such as Mike Ocasio, make the day of our cafeteria staff. Everybody enjoys a good cookie, Pat DeFazio and Katie Leyda, are no exception as they drool over their selections. Jeff Bennetc Jeff Bennett Slurping on his giant ICEE, Tom Patterson and his friend Tim Ostien enjoy a Friday evening at the mall. Junk food looks to be the staple of many stu- dent’s diet. Tom DiNapoli gulps down a ho- ho and a chocolate milk. Eating is a social event. While buying tapes Sean Mullin demonstrates the guitar-playing of his favorite group to Mike Clark. Crank up the hottest TUNES What would you do in a world without music? We usually don’t go through a day without listening to some form of it. Music videos are a major influence in the music industry, and listening to our favorite radio sta- tions, records, tapes, or C.D’s has be- come a daily experience. Concerts can also overtake us. Some fanatics will even spend a night outside to buy tickets. MTV or VH-1, that is the question. Jenny Mayne responded, I listen to MTV because VH-1 is the yuppie channel.'' Whichever you prefer, there are hours of viewing enjoyment to be found. A wide variety of radio stations can ? also be found. Allison Mayne says, I think that Def Leppard and Sting are awesome. I like to listen to Z-89 be- jj cause they play them often. Chris Brown replied, I listen to 95X be- cause they play a lot of old classics. Whatever style of music you enjoy, there is a station for you. Tapes, records, and C.D.'s are bought by all teens. Stephanie Sornppi states, I listen to tapes because they are easier to find, and there is a better variety of popular songs on them. Tapes are often less expensive, leading more students to favor them over records and C.D.'s. Concerts: a chance to get a glimpse of our favorite group or soloist. Shannon Wadsworth ex- claims, Personally, I think that the Sting concert was the best concert in the world.” You can easily go see your favorite group and have a great time, too. There are many styles of music to- day, and a great many groups are associated with each. Country, rock, soul, and the list goes on. No matter which you listen to, there is usually a singer who stands out from the rest. Sean Wadsworth says, Me and my sister both agree, Sting is a God.” Lau- ra Avery replies, “Not a day goes by when we aren't exposed to some sort of music. It's a big part of our lives. My favorite group is A-HA. Their tapes are fabulous.” Music plays a crucial role in every- one’s life. With the wide variety of dif- ferent ways to listen to and watch mu- sic, it's hard to ignore. So, crank up the volume and let the music play!” Shannon Ryan, Chrissie Sprague jand Hester Rice grab their radio before head ng out for the weekend. Following the Vah; Halen concert, Willie Barnes and Jim Olin proudly displaiy their new T-shirts. Heavy metal is THE music for j Jeff Acord, Rich Francis and Tom Conklin. 21 Sit down, kick off your shoes, relax it’s Your Time! When the ninth period bell has rung, where do you go? How do you spend your spare time? Many students rush to the gym, a popular spot, where flocks of people can be found. Some go home and call their friends they just left, to plan the nights activities. Fridays can usually be associated with the word: party! Many students throw and attend these parties. Admit it: you ail go to one party or another, and are sometimes seen in not the best condition. A few worn out students often just sit at home, relax, and rent a movie. Others enjoy taking their beau to a movie, or spending a quiet evening together. Many students can be seen showing off their school spirit at such events as football and basketball games. It's strange that, when asking, no one ever seems to know the score ... Most views on what the ideal way to spend your spare time is, differ greatly. In her spare time, Tania Gale tries to relax by listening to Pink Floyd, 'The Wall’, and other assorted music peoples. Lisa Roy poses anoth- er view, shared by many: Everyday after school I hit the refrigerator to chow down. That's definitely my first priority and I always make spare time for it.” Pete Richardson says, During my intellectual hours, I enjoy ponder- ing over nature's beauty and splendor.” No matter how you spend it, spare time is a welcome relief from the day's hectic schedule. Tony Glover Yearbook offers a lot to do little—or a lot of extra time you have just a When he's not running cross-country, you can find Scott Williams reading the latest fantasy novel. Even in Kristen Chong, Jeff Bennet and Dawn Varacchis busy lives, they must take time to play. 22 Finding time for each other, Jennifer Prall, Stacy Duger, Carol Gleeson and Carrie Bombardo chat.

Showing off his hot moves, John Cannon can be found in any of your local parking lots. 23 24 Shopping Carmey DeLorio Erika Muench In his favorite store, John Dunham stops to look at some jackets that had caught his eye. The school store is a last minute resort for school supplies. Dan Appel and Kim Hayes help out Kelly Durkin with a purchase. With it’s convenient location, the Great Northern Mall is a common meeting place for Baldwinsville stu- dents. Carmey DeLorio Jeff Bennett Food, friends, and clothing . . . at the Mall Friday, then I go shopping. I wake up Saturday, I go shopping. If I’m not at school or work. I'm shopping!” The serious shopper can spend hours going from store to store, looking for that special outfit, or just picking thing up on whim. Although as Chris Delorm notes, It helps if you have money!” Jennifer Noll has fun at the mall by going to the really expensive stores and just try- ing things on, even though I know I’ll never buy it!” Window shopping can be almost as much fun as actually buying. The trick is to convince your- self that a much better price can be found elsewhere. No problem. If you're not a person who gets excited over shopping itself, there’s much more to do at a mall. Some peo- ple, like Carla Sward, enjoy just walking around, looking at people. No matter what mall you go to, there are always interesting people to see. Maybe it’s because a mall is the perfect place for making statements, as Adam Ast puts it. An incredible variety of individuals standing out through fashion, hairstyles, and even the way they walk, can be found roaming around. After a day of shopping, refresh- ments are often necessary. Many malls offer a variety of small restaurants, all in one area. Everyone can get the food they want, then sit down to talk and relax. It’s a great place to hang out or make new friends. Malls [attract many people, providing a convenient way to meet others. As Stephanie- Dauber says, Hopefully, the opening I of the Great Northern Mall will bring great influx of the male population j o the area.

The car- toons are over, and you’re dying to get out of the house. Looking for some- thing to do? Let’s go shopping! Shopping is a favorite pastime for many people. Penn Can, Camillus, and Fayetteville are just a few of the local hot spots for mall action. Others include Shoppingtown and the Great Northern. Many students can be found roaming the malls in search of new styles, good bargains, and a great time. Michelle Wafer expresses the attitude of a true shop-a-holic, I go to work 26 Transportation Erika Muench Good friends Kristin Boivin, Jen Parsons, Lori Sierpina and Tracy Seelman walk together ev- eryday and catch up on the latest gossip. As he steps ott the bus, Pete Layton eyes the photographer. After arriving at school around 7:30 a.m., Tom Rogers and Joe Ortlieb, find no need to rush to get to homeroom on time. Jennifer Huntley Getting you where you want to go Transportation Either by car, by foot, or by the dreaded bus, we’ve all got to find a way to get back and forth from school every day. Many of the students drive to school. I don’t know how I’d live without my car says Shannon Wadsworth. If they don’t drive, they usually find a friend that does. As Lori Ayotte says, I don’t need my car to drive to school, enough of my friends drive and I can always get a ride.” Tony Glover comments, I used to take the bus to school, until Carrie ’luckily’ broke her ankle. Now I drive to school in the huge, grey, rust buck- et practically named The Flinstone Mobile'. Still it is great, I can sleep in later. When I have to take the bus again. I’ll have a hard time adjusting. It’s sad, my senior year, and I have to ride the bus with all these kids. I must Jennifer Huntley be getting old, and spoiled with the car.” When asked how she gets to school, senior Donna Bestor replies, Some days I ride the bus, some days I drive. It depends on how much money I have that week for gas.” But not everyone drives themselves to school or grabs a ride with a friend. Says Colleen Conrad, I wish I didn’t have to walk to school. It’s really bad in the winter on the days when I can't find a ride. Amy McBride comments, T have to ride the bus and it's a pain. Whenever anyone does anything wrong, the bus driver writes us all up for it. And she never comes early enough, so we don’t get to school un- til right before the bell rings. Most everyone agrees that they hate riding the bus. Corey Bogart says, I'd rather walk five miles than have to ride the bus for five minutes. Fred Heltman agrees, I used to get to school by the bus, full of little kids, but now since I have a ride, I will nev- er take the bus again.” Jennifer Edgett Jennifer Huntley Fran O'Leary walks to school every day to keep in shape. One of the things Heather Doran dislikes most abour school is having to get up early and wait for her bus. Transportation 27 The things that set you apart Trademarks. Remember that kid in elementary school whose hair always stuck up at the crown? You could tell it was him before he even turned around just be- cause of that certain way his hair stood on end. It was his trademark . It set him apart from the crowd. Whether it’s an expression, a habit, a way of dressing, or a certain belief you have, there’s always something that sets each person apart from the crowd, distinguishes you as an individual, as an original. Expressions seem to be a popular trademark. Many times a certain expression can really sum up your per- sonality. Danielle Kozma says that she's constantly telling people, You're cool.” Laura Avery’s motto is work hard, have fun, and be your best.” Danielle Minney says that her stan- dards make: her an original, only the best, anything else is an incomprehen- sibility.” Often something you continually do can make an original. Tania Gale laughs when she tells her trademark, My expressions. Why? Because no one else wcjuld dare to do them.” Ev- eryone can tell it’s Amy Lamica com- ing if you hear someonejchewing gum. Amy says she chews gum because it’s a proven fact that it by a lot faster.” The way Toni Biegan- owski styles I her hair is | what she savs everyone can tell her thinks the Nordheim sets her ai part from everyone in the what she says by.

It shows how much spirit the students have and it brightens up the entire week.” sums up Carolee Kring. People wore plaid, hats, college sweatshirts, black and blue clothing, and red and white. There was a bonfire and a dance on Thursday. There was also a pep rally, Homecoming dance, and traditional football game on Friday. It shows the spirit that B’ville has,” says Tom Shepard. He seems to know the spirit that everyone shows when they partici- pate in the week's events. Jen Smith thinks, Spirit week is great because it seems to bring everyone closer togeth- er. People actually dressed up for the days. It’s a miracle!” The surprise of finding enjoyment in participating is amazing to some. Spirit week is a lot of fun. As a senior this year, I finally participated in dressing up and I felt the B-ville pride. I wish I could do it again!” says Ginger Preske. Ginger shows that if people participate in the activities, planned by the Student Council, then the week brings a terrific change of pace. Titia van Deventer had a new experience, unlike most. She had the opportunity to see what Homecoming and spirit week were all about for the first time and probably last time in her life. It is an experience which they will take with them back to their family and friends in their indi- vidual countries, (continues ... ) 30 Spirit Week Erika Muench Lisa Olej The cheerleaders show off cheir latest dan routine to remixed George Michael tunes.

Spirit Week 31 Bonfires, the Snake Dance and the game Homecoming Some of the other foreign exchange students may have been celebrating Homecoming and spirit week for the first time, also. Titia says, Spirit week was a new experience for me. It is a wonderful way to get the school psyched for Homecoming. I enjoyed expressing my school spirit, and it was an excuse to act weirdly. Spirit week was a great time for me and my friends to get together and have a few laughs,” says Steve Russett. Karen Pickard thinks, It’s neat to see everybody dressed exactly alike.” However, some people don't feel quite the same way as those mentioned above. People didn’t participate as much as usual. I wish they had,” states a sad Missy Cannan. Jennifer Edgett says, Not enough people really get into it. Becoming involved is the best way to enjoy the excitement. On Friday, there was a pep rally and football game followed by the tradi- tional Homecoming dance. The bonfire was fun. I think we lost the game—didn't we? says Alfred Brandt. Spirit week is fun, however, if you participate. The Homecoming dance started out good, but ended terribly because of people who had a fight. Thanks a lot guys:!” says Amy McBride.

I am upset I couldn’t go to the festivities. Not ev- eryone could go to everything, but most went to at least one dance. We, the swim team, had meets both nights of the dances; therefore, we couldn’t attend them. says Alyssa Sharfstein. All in all, there was a tremendous amount of participation, and the kids got really psyched. The experience of living somewhere where there is so much spirit is special. Joining in the various scheduled events, such as the dances, bonfire, and football game, helps to make it an exhilarating and fun time for all. The pep rally and fun clothing helps the athletes to feel the school’s support and spirit. David Sup- ple sums up spirit week with, It was fun.” Lisa Oleiarz Lisa Olejar2 32 Homei Erika Muench Homecoming Dutchess, Katie Hayward was proud to be crowned with the help of her es- cort Jeff McLaughlin.

For parents, colleges, and employ- ers, academic performance is im- portant. 1 No matter what you do, the grades count. In all areas, the end result must be inspiring and show ' off your personal brilliance. If you are into visual art, as in photogra- phy, interior decorating, or new horizons; then your work has to be dazzling. These aren’t the only classes that are thrilling. In home economics, things start to boil over, while the science experiments have a nasty habit of effervescing beyond control. Political issues of- ten cause a great deal of turbidity as well, wdth classes containing some heated debates. Cool Jazz can be found in the music wing. The svindy sounds of saxophones, or the New Orleans’ ji Jazz can be heard from Silk and Satin. It doesn’t matter what academics you like, or what your plans are in life, education is important. Aca- demics can be exciting and thrill- ing- Erin Altieri—coordinatof In keyboard communications, Lisa Deil pra tices her fingering on the word processor- 34 Academics Divider Patricia Johnson Trisli Keckison and a friend are doing research for Public Speaking in the library.

I like finding out about new things.” Donna Jones Jeff Bennett In the nurse's training office, students may practice with dummies. Working with the mannequins helps them to get comfortable with the environment in which they would be working. The nurse assistant instructor and Food and Nutrition teacher have a conversation about various students. 36 Academics Patricia Johnson Jeff Bennett Jeff Bennett Hospital beds and anatomy charts help to teach BOCES about a future career in nursing. Approximately 83 students from Baker attend BOCES daily for instruction and hands-on ex- perience. Jeff Bennett A Hands-On Experience . . . ... is an alternative to everyday classes chosen by many stu- dents. Such courses can be related to business classes and BOCES, as well as the special education classes. There are a variety of classes to choose from, all of which provide you with hands-on work and knowledge that may be applied in a busi- ness related career. Shelly Kurilovitch takes business classes because as she says, I like them and they are the only things that interest me.” Da- vid Hill is taking ac- counting which is says, ... is OK, but you have to have the knowledge to learn and decipher transac- tions. Although these courses can be difficult work, the students are acquiring skills they'll use for the rest of their lives. Academics often go beyond the class- room, as BOCES stu- dents have disco- vered. Many students chose BOCES to pre- pare themselves for jobs in the future. They agree that BOCES is more fun than school because you are treated like an adult and not like a child. Donna Hemingway says, I like BOCES because they have more class- es that interest me. and there is a more open environment. Kris Wheeler stated, I go to BOCES be- cause I like it, and it is fun. Best of all, you get out of school. There are also af- terschool activities as- sociated with the spe- cial education students, such as Key Club. Members get together with the stu- dents to take part in a variety of activities. The special education students are learning to cope in a modern world, while the club members learn how to deal with people of various back- grounds. Hands-on exper- iences acquired in business courses, BOCES, and special education activities are important assets to careers in the fu- ture. Academics 37 . . . there are many ways to be heard, whether it be through drama, foreign languages, public speaking, or WBXL. The drama club allows students to express their talents through acting. Club members are heard during their annual productions: this year’s dessert theater, The Foreign- er in the fall and lunch hour theatre in the spring. By taking Drama I and Drama II, one ac- quires and perfects acting skills. Walking through the language hall, French, Spanish, German, and Latin can be heard. Whether it’s your first or your fifth year, learning a foreign language is always interesting. Learning about dif- ferent cultures, speaking skills, and comprehension are a large part of the year’s work in a foreign language class. Public Speaking is one of the many options chosen by seniors to complete their English require- ment. The students are heard through impromptu and pre- pared speeches. Many chose to take this course to boost their self-confidence. Although the class may be embarrass- ing, it greatly im- proves speaking skills. Amy McBride states, It was em- barrassing at first, but then I just got used to it.’’ Scanning through your FM dial, you will hear various types of music, but none sound quite like the voice of Ba- ker High, WBXL. The radio station is on the air five days a week from 7:15 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. B- 91 plays top 40 hits, along with other special programs, in- cluding Lombard in the Morning, Mike Palm with Sports, and the Top 10 re- quested songs of the night. Wendy Gravlin Successfully conquering any problems about speaking before a group, Tojo Poole will not join the ranks of adults fearful of public speaking. The assistant director of drama.

Kurt Steinacher, a WBXL DJ„ plays a favor- ite tune fulfilling a request for his audience. 38 Academics While waiting for a foreign language class to start, Amy Haskins turns to talk with a friend. Being a Senior Class President gave Chris DeLorm a great deal of experience which was enhanced through the Public Speaking course. While doing an impromptu speech, Karen Pickard looks up and takes a breath. These speeches in public speaking try to get you to think on your feet. Academics 39 In an experiment based on Hookes Law, Heather Davies adds different masses to the end of a spring in order to find the frequency. Thad Tusinski and Kevin Cardinal perform the standard procedure of warming a beaker of water before doing a chemistry experiment. Sweet Smells of Success . . . . . . are found in abundance around Baker High. The var- ious smells of our school are often created by experi- ments carried out in Food and Nutrition, Home Economics, Cooking in French V, and Chemistry, and forever linger throughout the halls. Walking the up- stairs halls brings a multitude of deli- cious smells to mind. Perhaps the French classes have been ex- perimenting with dif- ferent types of breads or crackers with French cheeses. These cheeses are also used to make French dishes. One experiment conduct- ed in the French classes this year was the making of sauerkraut. The Home Econo- mics classes also deal with food experi- ments. In Food and Nutrition, students learn how to make anything from cake to a full course meal. A walk by these rooms may bring with it the smells of foreign and familiar foods. Stephanie Dauber says, Food experiments are fun. You can cook, eat, and play all at the same time. Not only that, you can take the recipes home, too.” The scents pro- duced in the science wing are different from those in the food areas. Some of their experiments pro- duce sulfur and a ga- seous smell. In one lab experiment, scents of bananas, wintergreen, and paint thinner are spread throughout the room. Sharlene Lieser says, about labs, Personally, I think they're just a technicality in the science courses. Brett Newcomb feels, A.P. Physics labs have physical damage rather than nose damage. They don't smell nearly as bad as the Chemistry labs.” The next time you are wondering what students are up to in the science labs. Home Economics rooms, or French V classes, let your nose lead the way. You can smell their activ- ities all around the school. Just remem- ber, the nose knows what is happening in the school. Academics 41 Jim Laffredo consults his partner during their analysis of a biology sample. Mixing elements in a test tube following heating is another common technique that must be mastered. Examing life on a microscopic slide is one of the most exhilerating aspects of biology. Charlene Casnaw Art lets me be me; I can splatter paint on paper.” Charlene Casnaw In A Place of Your Own, students look over Celeste Clement's design and are helping her choose a color from the colorwheel. Putting the final touches on a painting, Dan Ramin concentrates on the canvas and brush. 42 Activities and express yourself through art. Drawing and paint- ing can develop into composing a person- al portfolio for an exhibit. Katrina Donaghey exclaims, taking photography is so different from yearbook. In photo- graphy, you have to do everything right. Missy Cannan com- ments, I take art because I enjoy drawing, sculpture, etc.” Home Economics is another area where students' talents are shown. In interior design, one learns the principles of interior design. One of the students in a Place of Your Own feels the class teaches a lot about things that will be beneficial to my fu- ture as a homemak- er, mother, wife, and hostess.” In New Horizons, a student uses writing and photo- graphy to express their talents. The students learn the production process of a magazine, and the New Horizons magazine is the final product. Jenny Mayne states, I decided to take this course because I thought it would be exciting and chal- lenging.” The future interi- or decorators, jour- nalists, photogra- phers and artists are seen throughout the school. They show who they are, not through the spoken word, but through the style of their work. They can express all their feelins in a drawing or picture, or capture someone else’s emotions in photograph. They can w'rite and put together a magazine or decorate a house for their own satis- faction. It is not only important to express yourself ver- bally, but also silent- ly through art and design.

Out of Breath' 44 Academics Erika Muench Walking down the halls in school, one can hear breath, 2 and breath .. . support your- self ,.. breath! What is this? Lamaize class at Baker? Chances are it's one of the music orient- ed classes or gym. In these classes, breathing right is the key to success. Gym class definately requires breath control. It is a class that everyone must take resulting in a choice of activities. Shannon Watts likes gym a lot, but only if we have team sports. I don't care for individual- This year the orches- tra has grown to its largest size. As usual, the orchestra will play a mass in the spring while the chorus accompanies. Tracy Seelman says, It's one of the best periods of the day because you don't have any unit ex- ams or quizzes. Chorus is a class where breathing correct- ly is vital. The group performs pieces from pop to masses. Some- times things can get dif- ficult. As Becca Brewer decided, It's funny to see Mrs. Jacobe laugh when she can't get much else out of us.” With its own government body, chorus is independent of other classes. Laura Avery sums it up, I have always enjoyed chorus, yet at the high school it's been more re- warding. Sight singing is one of the areas emphasizer by Mrs. Jacobe. Fun and exercise are a successful combina tion in Mr. Schrader's gym classes. The game winning shot was made by Krister Welcher in her sixth period gym class. Playing the piano is an important job in the chorus room. Barb Kuile and Amy McBride fill the role. istic sports much at all. But Todd Webb has a different idea of gym, As long as it’s a good, active, tough game, I don't care what sport we play. After sitting in a classroom, it’s nice to stretch out and relax. Band is another class that requires breathing right. Even though the band size has decreased, they're still alive and kicking. According to Pam Reeves, It can be very fun and exciting at times. Well, with a new band director, one must allow room for adjust- ments. Academics 45 To perform well, practice is essential. Presi- dent Amy McBride often leads the chorus during their daily practices. jMusic Theory is a fun class even though the students have to take tests such as Nicole Butera is doing. Julie Maffei sometimes finds it difficult to concentrate on gym because she has it during the lunch periods. Mrs. Jacobe directs the chorus in a new song while Kris Maffei, Laura Avery, and Debbi sing their hearts out. Participation is an area stressed by Mrs. Bader, which makes Amy Haskins enjoy her English class. There is a fine line connecting most of the subjects at Baker High. Be it the time line in so- cial studies or the linear equation in math. Even the spoken dialogue of a play is another sort of line that can not be overlooked. Math seems to be a difficult subject for many. Although it starts out easily with the num- ber line, students often become mind boggled by the time they are finding the line tangent to the curve. Dave Love says simply, It's hard to understand. Shannon 46 Academics Wadsworth says that she has, lots of fun in math class, although the class itself is very hard.” While math may be a difficult subject, many students take more than the two year minimum requirement. English encompasses many aspects from out- lines to the lines in a poem. From the most rudimentary English class to the multiple options seniors face, English uses lines. Like math, English may be difficult for both native speakers and foreign ex- change students alike. Thomas says, the one strange thing about Eng- lish is that they never use 'sch', but Germans always do! Allison Mayne explains, I love Mrs. Doherty, and Eng- lish this year is a lot of fun.” Social studies also in- cludes lines: from time lines to the Maginot line and even lines of lati- tude and longitude. Missy Cannon says that in P.I.G., You can express yourself more and don't need to study as much. Shannon Ryan says, With a teacher like Mr. Engels, it’s a breeze and he’s a riot! The lines that draw together the classes of math, social studies and english are clearly de“line ated. Lines are used all the time in any- thing from outlines to timelines to lines on a graph. Penny Brotherton Confusion is the central thought in Jenny Mayne’s mind during her math class. Trigonometry is one of the areas taught in Course III. Kriten Welcher explains to her class about trig, functions. English is not considered by all to be the most interesting class. Essay writing can be ex- cessively tiring. Pig , taught by Mrs. Goff, is a course which involves many discussions about controversial issues. To quickly review for the Social studies test, Lori Weisbrod looks through her notes. Academics 47 Stephanie Somppi seems to be paying more attention to Harry Bragg than to their English teacher. „ , Reine very studious, Hester Rice works on an MU Mason Mp. Ceo,ge T,gd.« and Don B � 1- Gtatton with their English. iPerfect Funny thing about English is that they don't teach you how to talk properly, says Jen- nifer Noll. Even though you may not like English class, ev- eryone must take it. In the sophomore year, students read and dis- cuss European litera- ture, including 'Julius Caesar , One Day in the Life of Ivan Deni- sovitch, Tale of Two Cities and To Kill a Mockingbird. Then as juniors, American liter- ature is studied, includ- ing: The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, The Scarlet Letter, A Sepa- rate Peace, The Grapes of Wrath and The Red Badge of Courage. Fin- ally as seniors, students had the choice of which English course(s) would be taken. Any- thing from Mythology to Drama or even Pub- lic Speaking was an elective. At one time or an- other, everyone at Ba- ker takes Health. The teachers and curriculum teach us how to treat ourselves. The most vivid memories from Health class are the movies. When asked about them, Kelly Nowak replied, Some were disgusting and very graphic. “The best part of psychology is I am now able to psychoana- lyze my friends,” says Jill Moffat. Psychology students discuss behav- ior and what causes it. Learning some physio- logy as well as some history of psychology shows students how lit- tle is really known about how the brain works.

Ev- eryone knows that hitting things relieves tension; maybe that's why typing and wood shop are so popular. Many students choose to take typing as an elective. Any- one who takes it agrees that they will need the course for future success, espe- cially now in the computer age. Whether you take typing because you’ll need it in your career, or because you will feel better prepared for college, typing class is a good idea for many students planning on entering anything from the secretarial field to the highest level of man- agement. At first glance, Production may not seem, but is a very si- milar class. The ring- ing of a hammer on metal sounds like the bell on a typing car- riage. Hunters peckers punch at the keyboard, while leather workers use a punch in their trade. And proper measure- ment is vital, whether it’s the dimensions of a shelf or the spaces to indent. Production is a course for anyone with an interest in working with wood and learning about machines. Students are able to walk away with projects includ- ing: a stereo and speaker cabinet, a ce- dar chest, and a wooden box. Jennifer Swab It is a good idea to proofread before you start to type. Leon checks over the rough draft and composes how it should look before typing it for this project. Learning the finger placement on the key- board is the hardest part of learning how to type for most people. The advantage of knowing how to type is that it makes using computers easier. This is important in today's business world. Academics 51 Friends can be influential in passing anything from a math paper to a physics test. Becca Brewer provides Tania Gale with some help for the upcoming English quiz. Having graduated, Kevin Daley is a favorite person to talk to about what is on tests and finals. Kevin attends Ithaca college, so is on call for all of his friends. 52 Academics D isplaying his strong feelings about tests, Joe Desairo explains, Oh yeah, studying is one of my favorite pasttimes! Jointly doing a Spanish project, Mo Kring and Jeff McCard compare notes. Brainpower From a major chemistry test to a weekly spelling quiz, tests and quizzes are very annoying, states Margaret Filippi. Test and quizzes, accord- ing to Todd Cutrona are the worst part of school. Dayanne Douglas feels, Tests are difficult because you have to think back to what you've learned before and try to remember it all; sometimes you just can’t.” Nobody likes to study for tests, al- though it is possible to see people study- ing in many different ways. Some people, such as Katie Engels, like to study in ad- vance and even some may get to- gether with their friends to study for a major test. However, the majority of stu- dents are found cramming in as much of the information they can the night before, or glancing through their note- books a few minutes before the bell rings. Michelle Gibbens, being one of these, studies at the very last minute, if I even bother to study.” Jill Brand replies, I don’t like studying, but I’d rather have a lot of tests and quizzes, so that they won’t count as much.” Mary Beth Steir feels that pop quizzes are worse be- cause you can’t even prepare for them,” while Bridgette Townsend dislikes essay tests” the most. She remarks, Essays wouldn’t be so bad if they had multiple choice answers. Carolee Kring and Ginger Preske both think that tests are a waste of time because in the end, you forget it anyway.” Not everyone thinks that tests and quizzes at Baker are difficult. Foreign Ex- change student Fran Alayon claims that in Spain, the tests are much harder.” How- ever, Louis Rodriguez argues that, in Mexi- co, tests are easier. Math or English, French or Latin, tests and quizzes are just a fact we’ll have to face up to! Academics 53 Bobby Brown's My Perogacive is broadcast over the airwaves by WBXL's D.J. Am) Lamica. The activities that take place outside of classes provide a neces- sary incentive for many to get through the day. The dedication and perseverance required to help an activity succeed radiates throughout the school. The Student Council, and Honor Society serve to kindle a sense of pride and a burning desire to make the world a better place. Some groups are formed with the primary goal of refining the mem- bers’ artistic or musical talents. Members of these activities prepare avidly for their next per- formance. Precision is the crucial element which allows groups like Dance Corps and the Color Guard to execute their routines with such amazing ardor. The various activit- ies available to the students add a little sparkle to the everyday drudgery of the present. The school store and the A-V Club per- mit the student to gain worthwhile experience while still participating in high school and it events. But when all is said and done, many cool off on the slopes with the Ski Club.

Everyday, the band meets during sixth period. The music is practiced un- til it is known, and then Mr. Bowen, the instructor gives out new music to the band to start learning. When asked if she liked band, Terri Mackey an- swered, Band is fun ex- cept when no one wants to practice. Tim Steen was asked what he would change if he could. He replied, Band is OK, and I would make the music more diffi- cult and better.” The band’s first concert is on December 21, at 8:00 in the auditorium. In Feb- ruary, they will have one with the Ray and Durgee bands at 8:00. In March, the band will have a mas- terworks, and in May they will have a concert with the orchestra and chorus. In November, the band walked over to show the fourth graders how their instruments sounded and what they looked like. The fourth graders’ favorite song was Rock N’ Roll Hall of Fame.” It consisted of ''Jailhouse Rock, Twist and Shout,” Stand By Me,” and Wipe Out.” The Syracuse Symphony woodwind quartet came to play for the band in Octo- ber. There was a flute, oboe, clarinet, and a bas- soon. The band is a lot of fun but also a lot of hard work. Orchestra also in- volves a great deal of ef- fort. They meet everyday sixth period, which is hard for some because they have to give up their lunches. All of the orchestra's hard work pays off when Mr. Brin and the students perform their concerts. One concert will be held on December 21, at 8:00. There will also be a mas- terworks and spring con- cert. This year, new require- ments were instituted. As in the past, group lessons are mandatory. This year, students have to practice every day rather than once or twice a week. Some orchestra students will go to All-County and NYSSMA in the spring, where they may show off their talents individually, in duets, or in a group.

It’s also an excellent source for increasing self-confidence. Career exploration is an option. However, not all of the drama club members are plan- ning on the theatre as a profession. The BTC is a relatively small group with only about fifteen members. Their small size is used to the greatest advantage because it provides an easily-controlled, closely-knit team. Many students assist in the productions, either on stage or behind the scenes.” The BTC performs at least twice a year. Their first production is for the annual dessert theatre. The Foreigner”, a two-act comedy, was recently presented. It was a success. The members now have a renewed sense of confidence. A Drama Festival will be held at SUNY Alfred. The festival will begin in May. Portions of The Foreigner” will be per- formed by the BTC. The Drama Club will also present a lunch-hour theatre in the early spring, which is open to the entire student body. The director, and adviser is Mrs. Edith Clover. She always adds a special touch to each production. Besides busily preparing for their upcoming productions, the BTC is sponsoring a bottle and can drive. Hopefully, this will provide some much-needed revenue for their trip to Al- fred in the spring. Ellie Simms (Mari Magoon) copies everything Charlie Baker (Rich Gillen) The Foreigner does.

These people work to give the other students fond memories and make the school’s atmosphere more cheerful. Diligence and commit- ment are the qualifications a yearbook staffer must possess. The entire staff must work together as a team to produce the year- book. Recording the year's events are placed in the hands of the Lyre staff. Co-editor Jeff Bennett says, When you think about how much occurs in just one day, you’ll understand Yearbook, Future Artists why we have to meet al- most every night to com- pile all the events; that’s why yearbook demands so much of my and the staff s time. The most important thing you have to think about is the deadline. I’d like to wait to cover cer- tain topics, but our last deadline is in March, so things like graduation aren’t in here.” Yearbook advisers are Mrs. Johnson and Mrs. Jet- ty, who serve to make sure the deadlines are met and the staff keeps working. Besides Jeff, Brett New- comb is the other co-edi- tor. Erika Muence, Dawn Varacchi, Carmey Delorio and Mike Clark worked as layout editor, copy editor and co-photo-editors. Each chapter is created by an in- dividual section-coordina- tor. Future Artist’s meets ev- ery Wednesday in the art room and consists of about fifteen students aim- ing for a career in art. Bry- an Shutt said, Future Ar- tists is an inspiration for art people to achieve more for themselves.” They show their artwork at many places throughout the year. In the spring, most of their exhibitions occur. They have also been planning a trip to New York then. For many years, some pieces from the club have been shown at the Indian Village. This is located in the woods be- hind the bus garage. In January, many of the stu- dents prepare for the scho- lastics competition. Hours are spent making final touches in order to com- plete their art portfolios.

Both of these groups generate sounds of unbelievable intensity. WBXL is a student run radio station, which broadcasts 16 hours a day from 7:15 AM to 11:00 PM. Many students enjoy listening to WBXL be- cause of the wide variety of music they play. But most students don't realize the amount of work that must put into running the radio station. The final product is what we hear on the air. Jim Olin says, The radio station is good, but the music stinks.” Jeffery Reed Acord states that working on the radio station is, the experience of a lifetime.” WBXL voices Public Service Announcements from drinking and driving to drinking milk. The DJs' personal touch is what makes WBXL such a great station. Whether it be Mike Palm and Chris Lombard in the morning, or Fran O'Leary's word of the day, WBXL is the voice of Baker High! Do, a deer, a female deer . . . Everyone has to start somewhere, but by the time you reach the high school's chorus, you should be past that point. However, some students still can not handle sol- feggio, that is, singing with the syllables do, re, mi, fa, sol, la, ti, do. Dave West complains, It’s very hard to go from do to la to mi to sol and stay on pitch.” Students are re- quired to attend voice lessons once a week. Chorus students with ex- ceptional talent can par- ticipate in the All-County or NYSSMA festivals. A student doing extremely well at NYSSMA has the opportunity to attend All- State. Allison Mayne was lucky enough to be ac- cepted for All-State. L I Activities 63 As chairperson of the Spring Weekend Committee, fern Hayes played an active role in all of the preparations which included banners and announcements. Honor Society Mr. Keenan Council Activities Leading the Way Student Council is made up of about 60 stu- dents. They help to im- prove the community as well as the school. They do everything from re- painting murals in the school to having a canned goods drive to help the poor. Student Council is headed by the students for the students. Treasur- er Tojo Poole says, ''Stu- dent Council is a good way to get out of class, as well as being a part of something that is so in- volved in the school.” Many students partici- pate in student council because it gives a sense of helping the school. To improve BHS, Baldwins- ville and Syracuse is a fairly large goal. Michelle Brown said, I’m glad I got to help out the poor in the community with the canned food drive.” Student Council also held the bonfire dance before Homecoming. Mary Beth Steir said, I enjoy doing more than just participat- ing in school events. I really liked setting up the pep rally as well as the Queen and her Court for Homecoming.” Members of the Don- ald W. Coates chapter of the National Honor So- ciety receive recognition for their outstanding ac- complishments. National- ly, they are eligible for scholarships. Privilege cards and an annual trip are two ways they are lo- cally recognized. There are high stan- dards for membership into this exclusive group. Candidates for member- ship must have displayed exemplary behavior in the areas of leadership, char- acter, service and scholar- ship. Interested students must maintain a high grade point average and complete an application. Under the guidance of adviser Mr. Keenan, the Honor Society tries to help society and students. Peer tutoring has proven successful. Members also participate or help at science fairs. As a whole, Honor Society attempts to encourage learning and sets an example for aca- demic excellence. Erin Altieri, Kristin Chong In an attempt to inspire some school spirit, Student Council has created a Spring Carnival which will begin with a theme week similar to the week pre- ceding the Homecoming weekend. The custodians are always very- helpful towards the various groups. They don't usually mind occasional interference with their work because they enjoy seeing the school get fired up with spirit. The Spring Carnival organizers included Lisa Katz, Sara Santelli, and Kim Hayes. n X - .

Above all else, Key Club is a service organiza- tion whose members are dedicated worldwide to improving their commu- nity. This year the clubs theme was Celebrate Ex- cellence.” The purpose of the lea- dership group is to provide direction and ex- perience to those students that have demonstrated leadership qualities in their community and school life. The Leader- ship Club began last year after the visit of Mark Scharenbroich and grew out of his “leadership meetings.” Having a lea- dership club is a great op- portunity for the different groups to exchange their ideas, but the problem is that everyone in those groups is so active in their respective clubs that it is difficult to get them all together at once. While this is a problem now, I think that in the future the leadership group will become similar to the United Nations in that all the groups will have an open forum,” says president Kristin Chong. An annual work- shop of skill development is held each year along with various other activit- ies.

Jeff Bennett Cashing In The school store is co- ordinated by business teacher, Mr. Brussel, and the students participating in the Distribution Educa- tion Program. Mr. Brussel explains, The school store serves two purposes. One is to be more convenient for the stu- dent body, and the sec- ond is to serve as a train- ing program for the business students.” The school store was started in 1961 in associa- tion with the Distributive Education Program and it’s stituents.

It sells basic school supplies, such as pens, pencils, and paper; but it also sells Regents review books, student I.D. cards, camera film, the Messen- ger, and compasses. The function of the school store is extremely beneficial to many busi- ness students. The store is capable of training as many as thirty students in a one week time period. The Audio-Visual Club is held in the library. Stu- dents can help in the library and with the ma- chinery there. The partici- pants in the club help to fix and clean the video equipment as well as all the televisions and film projectors. They also learn how to operate the 16mm projectors, slide projectors, and video cas- sette players. Mr. Cady is the adviser who doles out the daily assignments.

Unique Competitors The Winter Special Olympics were held at Kiamesha Lake in New York this year Everyone stayed in the Concord Resort Hotel. After the athletes compete in their events, there is a victory dance. For most of the athletes, this is their fa norite part of the trip. Eric Grobosky said, I like the dance!” Meanwhile, Kim Larkins told us that she likes to dance with Eric.” Since most of the ath- letes don't usuilly get to stay in hotels, it is a nice change for them. Donald Gratton’s favorite part is being able to stay in the hotel. All of the athletes come home happy and proud of their achieve- ments. Even if they don't win a medal, the athletes know and believe in the Special Olympics Oath: Let me win, but if I can- not win, let me be brave in the attempt.” Jayme Earle Tieing for the most-made goals in floor hockey, George Rigdon works up an appetite.

But why? The answer is sim- ple: the chance to be a published author or to have your individual work reproduced and distribut- ed to hundreds. The award-winning, an- nual publication responsi- ble for launching many on their way into careers in the arts is none other than Baker's very own New Horizons. Every phase of production of the magazine is 100% done by the small, select staff. Magazine entries are solicited from the stu- dents and teachers in the school. They are then as- sembled into page ar- rangements. The staff is advised by Mr. Decker who is aided by Mrs. Jet- ty. Preparation includes the use of enlargers, com- puters, and negatives. The staff must make plates before a machine folding, collating and stapling by hand. The final step in the process is to trim three sides of the maga- zine before distributing it to the school. While this may seem like a lot of work (it is), the students learn about the entire production process first-hand. They may take the New Hori- zons course before-hand which would enable them to practice prior to the actual production. A helping hand is always welcome, as well as an undiscovered author, so this group may be worth a second look.

Once Upon a Mat- tress,” with Prince Daunt- less and Princess Win- nifred, was an experience that will not soon be for- gotten by the cast mem- bers. The directors of this year's production were Mrs. Jacobe, Miss Roe, Steve Uhl, and Tammy Malson. The knights and ladies of the musical an- nounced a medieval quest to find a real princess for their bachelor prince. Mer- riment and festivities add- ed to the enjoyment of the Castle Court. Prince Dauntless the Drab (Eric Porter) was searching for a wife; how- ever, Queen Aggravain (Celeste Joiner) did not want him to be married, for it would mean relin- quishing her position as queen. She and the Wizard 0on Poirier) required that each princess take a test to prove her royalty, but of course, they were always too difficult for anyone to pass. Meanwhile, Sir Harry (Keith Mignault) discovers that Lady Larken (Amy McBride) is pregnant. A law states that throughout the land, no one may wed till Dauntless shares his wedding bed,” so Sir Har- ry decides to search for a princess to marry the Prince. Weeks pass, and Sir Harry returns with Princess Winnifred the Woebegone (Allison Mayne). Dauntless falls in love with Win- nifred, Fred for short, and she is determined to pass the test. The Queen devises a sensitivity test, consisting of a pea placed under twenty mattresses upon which Fred must sleep. If she cannot sleep because of the pea, then she must truly be a real princess. The Minstrel (Jon Bul- lis) and Jester (Ladd Harris) decide to help the people of the kingdom by tricking the Wizard into revealing the test. The knights and King Sextimus the Silent (Lars Wehner) put pots and pans under the mat- tresses, insuring that Prin- cess Winnifred will not be able to sleep. Fred spends the night counting sheep, and the next morning discovers she has passed the test. Queen Aggravain becomes en- raged and says that Daunt- less cannot marry Win- nifred. Dauntless is angered and tells the Queen to shut-up, thereby fulfilling the prophecy: the mouse devours the hawk, releasing the King from his curse of silence and bestowing upon the Queen. And, of course, as in all fairy tales, everyone lives happily ever after.

Alyssa Sharfstein is the center swimmer for Me and My Gal.” Aquanotes is the school's synchronized swimming team. The coach was Kim Lehet, and the captains were Kim Sharfstein and Heather Bobo. Last year's theme was Music Through the Ages. Routines were done to various styles of music. The show started with Mozart's Serenata Notturno,” followed by numbers such as Waltz of the Flowers and The Charleston. Special routines included the future stars in Me and My Gal and two trios to Stop in the Name of Love and Crocodile Rock.” The two duets were performed to Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and Where the Streets Have No Name. A solo was done by Heather Bobo to Somewhere Out There.” Other routines in- cluded the Monkees, Jack and Diane,” and Bugle Boy. The Best Number Award was given to Cold as Ice, directed by Kathy Morici and Tracie Billings. Disco Duck and Stay were also performed in the show. After weeks of practice, there were two performances given. The girls put their all into the shows, resulting in a great time for all. The dance corps is another hardworking group. They compete all year long against various high schools. Some competitions take the group throughout the East; this year, the group is traveling to Mary- land, Ohio, and Washington, D.C.

To conduct community alcohol awareness programs. ... To alert and inform students of the dangers of alcohol and driving. ... To organize a peer counseling program to help students who may have concerns about alcohol. 78 Activities Kristin Chong Friends Don’t Let Friends Drive Drunk S.A.D.D. The C.W. Baker High School chapter of Students Against Driving Drunk started out this academic year trying to increase their enrollment. Advised by Mrs. Prohl and Mrs. Hughes, they had a mem- bership drive, resulting in the signing up of over 200 new and veteran members. The officers, co-presidents Carmey DeLorio and Katie Engels, secretary Darlene Wagner, treasurer Andrea Iosue, and public relations Besides conducting SADD meetings at the school, Katie Engels often attends County- wide meetings and later shares the information with the test of the group. Jim Olin had high hopes. They wanted to increase the students’ and teachers' awareness of the hazards of drinking and driving. Many displays around the school to discourage drinking and driving may be seen throughout the year. Halloween skeletons driving a car with beer cans strewn through con- veyed the message make no bones about it. It can happen to you.” Once a month, the ad- visers and officers attend the Onondaga County Stop DWI youth council meetings. Here, they learn about the other SADD chapters in the county, their fundraisers and ways of conveying the message about drinking and driv- ing. It also gives the schools in the county a chance to come together towards a common cause. Katie Engels Activities 79 Jeff Bennett Lunch is probably the period you gather with the most of your friends; whether they e classmates or teachers makes no difference. As the students returned to Ba- ker after the sweltering summer, there was a glow of excitement for the coming year. From sopho- mores to seniors, the student body arrived with enthusiasm and a warm, supportive spirit. The seniors’ pictures were taken, and they realized they were now officially the school leaders. Several mild changes greeted them back. Among these were the newly required senior courses, which foced many students to have full schedules. The supposed privileges granted in recognition of their sta- tus led to various burning ques- tions. The juniors returned with ener- getic fervor. They were moving up a rung on the ladder to graduation. The junior year is traditionally the most hectic-a scramble for the grades that will dictate their possibilities for the future. With a blaze of vivacity and a positive attitude, the sophomores started their year. They are pre- pared for a year of fiery discus- sions, procrastination, and week- ends full of good times to remember forever.

We don’t do it all alone though; we have help from dedicated class members. We have been very successful this year, as in the past, but this year is special. As our last year here at Baker, we are trying to make it as great as we can. The Florida trip and the senior ball are just a few things we have planned.

Mike Clark said, with skis shining in his eyes, I wish we’d had a place closer to Baldwinsville to ski.” Lisa Peterson said, I wish we’d had drivers’ ed because it’s hard to get to OCC, and it’s so expen- sive.’ Amy Hirsh stated, I wish I would've took WBXL be- cause it looks like fun. Sara Santelli said, I wish I’d gone abroad to France, but I didn’t want to miss my senior year.” With a more down-to-earth opinion, Heather Rice says, I wish I’d gotten better grades because I could’ve increased my chances of getting into a good college.” Then there are some people who wish they hadn’t done certain things.

Katrina Donaghey Seniors Clift—DeLorio 87 i G 4 fry® tio� And Beyond After graduation, most everyone will be going off in their own direction. There are a lot of choices that students can venture into, whether it be college, the military, or beginning a career. As for attending college, Mark Davis stated, I am looking forward to college because of the people. You are able to meet a lot of different people from all around the U.S., and you are able to see how different they are from the people in B’ville. I think it will be a riot! Rob Burkhart is going to college at Delhi for two years.” Karen Welch says, I plan to go to S.U. or O.C.C. and transfer for psychology and get a Ph.D. graduate school.” The recruiters were here throughout the year trying to get students to join the military. They succeeded with A1 Brandt, who said, After graduation, I am looking forward to my graduation party, and, after I recover, I am looking forward to start a long career in the United States Navy. Remember, it’s not just a job, it’s an adventure ... Some of the students graduating are going to go right out and get jobs. Carole Sollars is one student who decided to do just that; she said, I am looking forward to using my busi- ness courses to start working for an insurance company as a secretary.” Good luck to all graduating seniors who plan to go out and start their futures!

I’ll burn, then peel, get sick, then finally I’ll have my long awaited tan.” A few give reasons why they decided not to go.

The value of our senior privileges was a ques- tion on each and every seniors’ minds this year. Tom Rogers felt, They shouldn’t give privilege cards when they don't come with privileges,” as did many other seniors. Technically, they had privileges, most of which center on where you may go from a study hall, but as Mike Allen stat- ed, A privilege card is no different from a teacher's pass.” Tom McAuliffe said, I think the privilege cards are nice, but they don’t do anything.” Others, like Steve Kanoza, are more blunt, The Senior Privilege Cards are a farce.” Phil Jocko simply denied their existence. His only comment was, What’s a privilege card?” In case Phil really does need an explanation, he can go to Scott Stocking, who says, Senior Privilege Cards: all three privileges and only 5000 ways to lose it. They aren’t worth the ink used to make them. Even if you can’t see the use of privilege cards, for some they are of importance; just ask Rich Francis: They took it and I want it back, I paid Si. for it.” Katrina Donaghey 92 Seniors Grobsmith—Jarvis Erika Muench — Erik Grobsmith Theresa Groman Jeffrey Hahn Joseph Hall Patty Hamilton Jennifer Hancock Wade Harrington Frederick Heltman Donna Hendrix James Hesch Douglas Hickman Matthew Hill Amy Hirsh Marianna Hobor Kirk Hokanson Christopher Holt Timothy Horan Jason Hornick Daniel Hulchanski Andrew Hunsinger Allan Huntington Scott Ingles April Jacob Adam James Suzanne Jarvis Seniors Grobsmith—Jarvis 93 Patricia Keckison James Kelley Brian Kelly Walter Kennedy Jennifer Kenney Tricia Keth Anita Kirkindall Jeremy Klein Keri Kline Scott Kline Nick Jensen Philip Jocko Eric Johns Donna Jones Henry Jones Michael Judge Steven Kanoza Donald Kasmer Charmaine Kazel Kenneth Keating Melissa Kolceski Kimberly Korczakowski Carolee Kring John Krupa Melissa Kurilovitch 94 Seniors Jensen—Kuirlovitch Erika Muench te� to In the Future When seniors were asked the difficult question, What will you be doing in ten years?” many of them did not know. Chris DeLorm had a quick reply, I’m going to be a yuppie of the ’90s.” Stephanie Dauber wants to be, a famous chef married to a beautiful Italian.” With an optimistic view, Jim Olin says, I’ll be an executive in a major corporation, have three kids and a sports car! Chris Stanley also has high expectations, saying, I’ll be a teacher putting kids through the exact same things our teach- ers put us through, and I had better marry somebody rich!” Tom Patterson says, In ten years, I hope to use my Baldwinsville education to help others.” On the pessimistic side, Jennifer Noll says, I'll be in a mental institution with three ulcers. Brett Newcomb, the yearbook co-editor, says, I am going to be a street bum.” Wherever the Class of '89 ends up, we will look back upon our years at Baker High with mixed emotions.

They seem to have endless study halls, with the only interruption being forty minutes for lunch. However, they still have requirements left to complete, including gym, Economics, Participation in Government, and two one-semester English courses. Even though these classes only take up three periods a day, some think it’s too much. Gym is one of the favorite requirements that is taken every year Scott Ingles sums it up with, I like gym. Every three out of six days, a senior is seen in their shorts or sweats getting physically fit. Economics and Participation in Government are the two Social Studies requirements for seniors. Seniors learn about how the economic and government systems work. Karen Pickard says, I think there should be a variety of elective choices in Social Studies as there is in English.” English is also required; the seniors can choose which class- es they want to take. Available courses range from Advanced Placement English to Journalism to College Prep. Wendy Pacheck says, I like having a choice about what I want to take; it’s more like a college atmosphere.” Seniors like their freedom, but some don't think it’s enough. Donna Bestor says, Requiring courses takes away time for other courses you might want to take. I’d rather have a choice.” Sometimes, all that is required is to attend one more class in a certain subject to fulfill the cluster requirement. Mike Clark, Theresa Groman and Dan Hulchanski are enrolled in physics. But, what is to become of social security as the elderly population continues to grow,” screams Mrs. Goff over the heated debate in P.I.G? I seriously don't understand why P.I.G. is re- quired. It’s telling you in a semester long course what could be taught in a seminar. I do like the fact that there are no tests.' —Shannon Wadsworth 96 Seniors LaFave—Lombard Erika Muench Sandra LaFave John Lafferty Jennifer Laffrey Robin LaFountain Lisa LaLonde Amy Lamica Lauri Larkins Tina Lavier Stephen Ledwith Richard Lee Sharlene Leiser Katherine Leyda David Lindstrom James Loffredo Christopher Lombard t I 1 Seniors LaFave—Lombard 97 Zenetta Losurdo Carrie Lower Kristin Maffei David Martin Dawn Martin Thomas McAuliffe Amy McBride Michele McBride Jason McCard Patrick McCarthy Matthew McCloskey Patricia McCracken Michelle McEnery Kenneth McIntyre Brian McKee Sherrie McLaughlin Melissa McNichol Patrick Metzler Daniel Michel Michelle Middleton Andrew Milden Beverly Milne Jill Moffat Robert Monterville Daniel Morgan 98 Seniors Losurdo—Morgan Erika Muench of the Heap When Heather Davies was asked what it was like to be in the top ten, she replied, We're not any different from anybody else.” Each top ten student has their own favorite class. Belinda Spinner likes physics, because it's interesting,” while Bob Steen likes it because, Mr. Doris makes physics into a joke. You just have to know enough physics to understand the jokes.” Michelle Wherley likes drama because, we do fun things,” and Heather Fraser says, It doesn’t seem like I have to do anything because I love to act.” Brett Newcomb enjoys art because, I like to be creative; I don’t have to be lectured about some theorem I don’t understand.” Erika Weiss spends her spare time by working in the library. John Chong practices karate, reads, and skis. Michelle McBride is a sports nut; she’s on the Varsity tennis, softball, and basketball teams. Jennifer Smith is Vice President of the Class of 1989 and is on the tennis team. These students have learned to juggle schoolwork and outside activities, resulting in a prestigious top ten ranking.

R ; | Seniors Losurdo—Morgan 99 It Out As seniors get ready for graduation, they must fill out job applications, college applications, and financial applications. The students who get jobs say that job applications are easy to fill out. They give the employer an idea about you before he makes the final decision to hire you. The students choosing to attend college, such as David Coram, say, The college applications are easy to fill out and understand.” Chris Sugar feels, The worst part about applica- tions is finding the time to send them in, because there are so many more things that need to be accomplished.” Dawn Campbell states, The applications show what kind of person you are. Colleges are looking at these and try to picture what the applier is like and whether it would be in the college's best interest to accept this person.” The financial applications are also kind-of easy to fill out. Seniors must fill out applications to inform other people, who are looking at their skills, what they are like. The applica- tions could be for jobs, college, or financial aid, all of which give important information about the applicant.

The Senior Class officers and committees have worked hard to plan this unforgettable event. The ball is very important to all the seniors. When asked to compare it to the Junior Prom, Shannon McConnell said, The Junior' Prom was fun, but the Senior Ball will be a blast!” Kathy Peneston says, It’s the best way to end our senior year.” Everyone has a different schedule for after the ball. As in the past, attendance will be high at the annual Party After the Ball,” sponsored by the Opomist Club. When asked what she plans to do after the ball, Stephanie Dauber said, It’s a tradition to watch the sunrise after the ball. We’re going to stay out all night and then go to Darien Lake.” All Chris DeLorm had to say was, I hope it lives up to everyone's expectations. of Senior We’ve all been told that our senior year is supposed to be the greatest year of our lives. Supposedly, being a senior is the biggest ego boost we’ll ever get, and why not? As a senior, one becomes the Big man on campus.” And don’t we deserve some respect? After all, during our senior year we gain the right to do everything from driving after 9pm to fighting for our country, right? We’ve finally reached the top of the heap, mere days from graduation and we’re ready to take on the world. The general concensus seems to be that underclassmen are far inferior and should honor” the seniors. As Donna Hendrix says, The un- derclassmen should stay out of our way in the halls.” To which Christie Purin hastily adds, because WE are seniors.” However, some seniors would disagree. They feel that they are not given any more credit or responsibility. Carrie Lower pointed out that, It doesn’t feel any different, it just means you get out sooner.” Sue Dunn tends to agree when she says. Senior status is nonexistent. Nobody cares how long you have been here. I think we all just want to get out.” For some, being a senior is special, but some of the other people around them haven’t noticed. So seniors, do you have a special status or not?

For the first time, many of the seniors experienced the power of their vote. Many adversarial discussions erupted between teachers and students. Discussions usually dealt with the merits of either Bush or Dukakis. Some of the key points were defense spend- ing, social spending and foreign affairs. Labels were often applied to both of the candidates. The students in the Participation in Government and American History classes spent several days discussing the political system. For some, voting does not make a lot of sense, but is, nonetheless, a privilege which should be invoked. When asked the question, voting—what is it?” Dave West replied, To me, it seems that it’s five or six people seeing who is more popular. I think the vote of the President is stupid. It’s a Con- gressman who is more influential. But, the stupidest thing not to do is vote. So, vote and enjoy, you’re only alive once.” Kristin Chong Seniors Roberts—Sherman 107 i - A major in high school can often give you a head start in college.

But once you get that acceptance notice, it’s all worthwhile. Jennifer Capria, who knows she’s going to Canesius College, says, When I visited the campus, I was smiling all day. I loved what I saw, and knew I wanted to go there to major in Child Psychology and Elementary Education. I was so glad when they accepted me!” Or maybe you want to move far away like Scott Ingles, who’s going to Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, FI., I chose the college because it was out-of-state. I can choose any school that offers the things I wanted and they were the best.” So, if you’re a senior and you’re panicking now because you still haven’t been accepted, relax; in a few months you’ll be at some college and then all you’ll have to worry about is getting into a fraternity or sorority, understanding class lec- tures, studying twice as hard and Finding a career opening. Piece of cake. Jeff Bennett Seniors Sullivan—Waldron 111 For many students, their senior year was not what they ex- pected it to be. When asked if her senior year was what she expected, Meg Millard gave a respondent no. She had expect- ed everyone had figured out who they were and accepted others for what they are, but I was wrong. A lot of people still need to be comfortable with their own tastes and opinions. I’m sick of the cliches and gossip. I can’t wait to leave.” Sen- ior Amy Fields agrees: I thought that, as the Class of 1989, we would accept each other’s different thoughts and ideas. When thinking back to elementary school, I can remember people that were friends and don’t acknowledge the other’s existence now. I just hoped people would learn to accept each other for who they are.” Ken Keating feels differently. He didn’t expect a change; we’re too set in our ways. Nothing’s going to change in one year, but it’s still a great year.” Whether the year was what you expected or not, most sen- iors agree that it was a fun year, nonetheless. ec vs. Reality Vicki Ann Bennett Paul Bresee David Brogan Christine Brown Brent Thomsa Christopher Caporin Christopher Connelly Sandrine Chambers Daniel DeLawyer Tammy DeMott Joseph Deserio Kelly Donegan Susan Dunn Todd Dwyer Patrick Ells Valentina Fabrizio Rahman Fontaine Jason Franklin Wendy Fuller Mark Gagas Krista Galster Donald Hahn Gerald Hamilton Tony Helms William Herbski 112 Seniors Waldruff—Young Erika Muench Shutter Shy Tyron Holifield Marc Horton Dennis Johnson Rachel Lee Kurt Luther Michael Lyons Christiane Martin Shannon McConnell Michael Michel Meg Millard Jamie Moltrup James Nelson Michael Palermo Anna Persechino Debora Peters Susan Pyc Kelly Reed Chevon Scott Frank Sica Jamie Smith David Supple Edward Taylor Kara Thomas Sarah Tuken Maryel Waldron Edward Waldruff Todd Warakomski Dannie Weir Erika Weiss Karen Welch Angela Wells Betti Jo Wells David West Daniel Wheeler David Wheeler Michele Wherley Timothy White David Brogan Holly Wilcox Beverly Wilgosz Barbara Wilson Jason Wilson Jamie Davis Timothy Wolsey Keith Worfel Lisa Young April Bishop Waldruff—Young 113 Eric Abbot Roger Acker Arthur Alexander Brian Allan Richard Allen Erin Altieri Ryan Ameele Daniel Appel Paul Armani Laura Avery Kathleen Barsh Allyson Blishak Benjamin Brazell Michelle Brown Class of 1990 Fundraising and planning for the Junior Prom is the major concern for the Class of 1990. Several class meetings have been held, but attendance and general participation have fallen below the expectations of the officers. When asked what the biggest problem facing the Junior Class this year is, Vice-Presi- dent Todd Webb replied, Attendance needs to be in- creased—a lot! The other officers readily agreed with him. Treasurer Cheryl Witz added that, The Class needs to partici- pate. They need to come to the meetings and make some sug- gestions because, right now, all of the ideas are coming from (the four officers). President Stephanie Crocker is trying to provide some enthusiastic leadership while encouraging spirit for the Class as well as the school. Mr. Widrick and Mrs. Kennedy, co-advisors, hope to see some improvements in the commitments of students to their Class. When asked about the best and worst aspects of being Class officers, the responses were positive, but realistic. Secre- tary Larry Smith said that the best part is definitely the pres- tige.” President Stephanie Crocker is quick to point out that It's not just a title. It's really a lot of work.” A class trip is also being planned with high hopes. It appears that there are many enthusiastic juniors, and all they need is a little dedica- tion and perseverance to make this year a success.

Before anyone knows it, the students are all gone and the halls are empty except for a few custodians. The weekend has officially begun. Many parents have wondered, and will continue to, because Friday and Saturday nights are often spent out.” Teens leave their homes to attend dances and parties. Some prefer to go to the movies or meet at the mall before having a night out.” Wherever they go, parents are not likely to see them again until Sunday night unless, of course, they come home to crash”. Sunday is usually spent trying to recuperate from the pre- ceding day's festivities. And with whatever brainpower is left over, homework is attempted. Makes you kind of glad that we have five days to rest up between weekends, doesn’t it?

In preparation for which, most juniors and a few select sophomores are offered the chance to take the preliminaries or PSAT. Set up to simulate the actual environment and difficulty of the SAT, the PSAT is considered to be a fair judge of perfor- mance and a good indicator of where improvement should be sought before taking the all-important SAT. Given in Octo- ber, students usually have the results back in mid-December, well in advance of their testing date in the fall of their Senior year. The questions used are straight-forward and have been test- ed beforehand to judge their fairness. The verbal section in- cludes synonyms and antonyms, reading interpretations, vo- cabulary, as well as a test of standard written English. The other half of the score is determined by math skills, including questions testing basic geometry, algebra, comparative analysis aptitude, and logical reasoning capability. An added incentive to do well is the ability to earn scholar- ships. The most influential of these is the NMSQT which is based solely on results of the PSAT and SAT. A National Merit Scholarship is granted to only 15,000 of the more than 1,000,000 students who take the PSAT annually. Last year’s semifinalists were Jeff Bennett, John Chong, and Robert Stein.

And what’s more important to a person’s social life than dating? Any teenager you ask could probably tell you numerous tales about best, (journalistic ethics prevent us from printing most of these) worst, (in these cases, fear of defamation of character) and first (you guessed it, sheer embarrassment) dates. Every date is different, but most of them follow some general patterns. Dinner and a movie is a popular one, but students find other ways to be together. Maybe going to see their friends compete at a sports event, attend a party or go out skiing, minature golf or even bowling together. In any event, the dates and who we dated will be some- thing fond to look back upon.

This one night offers everyone the opportunity to have fun and to be with that one special person that they care about most. However, many important decisions must be made well in advance in order to have a successful prom. The date, tenta- tively May 13th, has to be approved. The colors are always strongly debated over and while blue and silver hold a slight edge now, emerald is also a strong possibility. Even the theme song takes a long time to decide, since ballots have to be tallied from all the voting Juniors in every homeroom. Money is probably the biggest problem, not only for the prom committee that must hire the DJ or live band as well as pay for the decorations, but also for the students. For the guys, the tab for a tuxedo, dinner and limosine can cost al- most $300. Girls, on the other hand, may spend days searching for that dress that is just right. Even then, everyone must con- sider the cost of having their hair done and the price of the finishing touches such as perfume and a corsage. All in all, as class president and active member of the prom committee, Stephanie Crocker puts it, We're hoping that the Prom will be a big success and that people will be happy with it.” Jeff Bennett 122 Juniors Kline—Monette Jeff Bennett Todd Konick Terrence Kossegi Danielle Kozma James Kroes Robert Kroll Sean Kuhn Barbara Kulle Shelly Kurilovitch Tammy Kuryla Kathleen LaFratc Kimberly Larkin Christopher LaRocca Trisha Latham Noreen Layton Peter Layton Candace Leeson Jack LePorte David Love Chad Luther Dana MacDonald Laurie Mace James MacPherson Edward Manning David Martin Nancy Mautz Timothy Mayers Allison Mayne Michelynn McCall Michele McEwen Adrienne McHargue Kristin Chong An event full of meaning for its attendents, an occurance that happens just once in a lifetime, a short period of time forged into an eternity of memories.

But it does finally end with a grand total of 113 different stores, mostly nationwide chains. For some, the Mall is a disappointment. There were hopes for a variety of new stores, but an irritation resulted because these stores are already located, although farther, in and around the Syracuse area. This does not include the theater or the 15 Food Court restaurants who offer plenty of choices which are almost guaranteed to satisfy the pickiest, hungriest shopper. The Great Northern Mall has a store to satiate even the most professional shopper’s desires. Conveniently located at the junction of route 481 and 31, the Mall is close enough to go to after school or at night. It is also close enough for many students to get a part time job at in order to earn addi- tional money.

Not for the 1183 students which attend classes at Baker five days a week, 180 days a year. But an unsuspecting observer may easily become lost in the maze of creative communication. These expressions may sound a little strange, but they are revered by most teenagers. Resultant difficulties in communication which are experienced by parents seem to heighten the effects of the generation gap. Simply stated, slang is a lazy form of speech dear to many. But our forefathers fought for the right to say things in our own unique manner. Some may disagree, but American Eng- lish” is slang too. Regardless of what is deemed proper by teachers or linguists, outside of the classroom teens will con- tinue to express themselves creatively through their own words.

Maybe that's why this year's sophomore class officers ran for their position. They wanted to lead the Class of '91 into doing something exciting and really exotic as treasurer Randy Boivin put it. But, being a class officer does have its headaches. First of all, there are numerous afterschool meetings with the advisers Miss Mason and Mrs. Gelfuso. Then there are all the impor- tant decisions that must be made as well as the planning and conducting of fund raisers to help pay for a possible class trip or the the not-to-distant Junior Prom. And lastly, they must defend their position in open elections held every year; cam- paigning takes a great deal of thought as well as time. So why be an officer;' As vice-president Lisa Katz says, It makes school more interesting. You get to be in on the be- hind-the-scenes decision-making.” President Bill Eastman takes a somewhat different view and states, It was just something different to do.” 130 Sophomores Aliwalas—Bryant Jeff Bennett Jeff Bennett I can't imagine not having the friends I have from '91 — they’re the best. —Karen Smith i I •i i VI 1 !

Sarah Campbell thinks, weekends should include Mondays, but then I’d have to say the same thing about Tuesdays. We just shouldn't have a school week.” Mondays can be a little more disorganized than the rest of the week. Did you ever have a day when you put your pants on backwards? That's a Mon- day,” according to Danielle Minney. For Phong Diep, Mondays are five days away from restful sleep.” There are a few who don’t think Mondays are so dreadful. Besides being a day of schoolwork, it’s also a day to catch up with friends. It's a day to get back into school and to hear the latest gossip. Alyssa Sharfstein says, Mondays aren’t that bad. I look forward to seeing my friends so it makes the day run a LITTLE smoother.” If we all had a more positive outlook on Mondays, they wouldn’t be so dreadful.

Soon, she may add a class ring to her collection. More Than A Stone Class Rings The subject of class rings is surrounded by questions and decisions: what style, what color stone, what to get on the ring, and whether or not to get one at all. Even after you make a choice, that doesn't guarantee you’ll be satisfied. Tania Gale explains, Deciding which style and what to get on it was really confusing. Finally, I picked out a style, but I couldn’t get what I wanted on it!” Although many students look forward to buying their class rings, there are some who don’t believe it's a necessity. Denise Zona thinks, class rings are kinda dumb for high school, considering we’re all outta here in a couple years. Kristen Welcher agrees and is waiting for college to get her class ring. Class rings are considered status symbols by many sopho- mores.

I think it will be interesting to see how many of our stereo- types of the USSR are true. — Jenny Mayne The hardest part for some peo- ple, like Tania Gale, about this trip is getting all the forms filled out properly. The Russia Trip If you had told thirty-one freshmen or sophomores students last January that they would be travelling to the Russia in April 1989, many wouldn’t have believed it. Early last April, a rumor circulated that a trip to the USSR might occur soon. Most of us thought it was only a rumor, but when Mr. Magnarelli came to the junior high to talk to our class about it, we all suddenly realized that it was true. Part of the summer was spent earning and saving money. We learned that we’d be visiting three Soviet cities: Moscow, Kiev and Leningrad. Our itinerary was handed out and there were so many things included in the trip: Red Square, Lenin’s Tomb, the Kremlin, the ballet, the Moscow Circus, folk dances as well as meeting Russian students. All thirty-one students and five adults are really looking forward to it, but as Becca Brewer says, It just doesn't seem real yet!” Jennifer Swab Brian Lampl Christopher Landers Jeffrey Landers Jenny Landry Heather Lang Tammy Langford Wendy LaQuay Scott LaRocca Randy Lawson Pilar Lease Craig Leggett Lori Lennon Cortney Levandowski Heidi Liebi James Loffredo Kristy Long Stefan Lorenz Aaron Luke i Sophomores Horton—Luke 137 - Elizabeth Luther John Luther Laura Lynch Patricia Lynn Stacey MacDonald Lisa Macomber Christopher Madden Julie Maffei Mary Magoon Andrew Mancari Jennifer Mann Amanda May Jennifer Mayne William McBride Jeffrey McCard Taralynn McCarthy Edward Mcllroy Ashlee McKeen n°’ another New Even the most enthusiastic of students hate long exams that always want to know those little details you skipped over. And now there is one more—a Regents exam to be taken at the culmination of the two-year Global Studies course. Thus allowing the junior exam to be purely American history. Most sophomores would like to know exactly what to study, but only a general idea (ok—call it a completely wild guess) may be mentioned. Anything related to the countries of the world, excluding the United States, could feasibly be asked. That’s not too broad a concept, is it? To be well pre- pared, a student should know the culture, geography, politics, religion and economics of every nation on the globe. So how hard can it be? On the brighter side, it is multiple choice, a choice of es- says exists and it only requires three hours to complete. Kristin Chong Because Shalee Williams does track, she is not looking forward to a Regents exam in Social Studies. I really don't think it’s fair. They always try new things on the Class of '91.

Janelle Sauter ex- claims, I was so excited! I went right out to get my drivers’ permit!” However, there’s also the problem of paying for a car. For most, this means getting a job. Tara McCarthy says, When I turned sixteen, my parents felt it was time for me to get a job, but I’d rather have them pay for everything.” A final reason for its importance comes from JoAnne Precourt, It was the only birthday my mother ever remembered.” Allyssa Sharfsiein Jennifer Richmond George Rigdon William Roberge Scotc Robinson Trisha Rode Michael Rose Gerard Ryan Shannon Ryan Jennifer Saraceni Janelle Sauter Andrea Scala Charity Schneeberger Mark Schwabenbauer Maurice Scott Michael Searle Eric Seubert Karen Sevak A lyssa Sharfstein Janet Sharp Tricia Sharp Terry Sharpstene Daniel Shatrau Jonathan Sherman Ryan Shorter Sophomores Patapow—Shorter 141 1 Keith Sibley Christina Sica Christopher Smith Heather Smith Karen Smith Patricia Smith Eddie Sochia Timothy Soloman Stephanie Somppi Jennifer Stafford Tracy Stamples Timothy Steen Matthew Stock Christopher Stormes Matthew Straub Betty Streeter John Sunderhaft Christina Sward Tammy Thompson Kathleen Thrall John Tipper Adam Tucci Helene Turner Cathy Tyler Mary Venette Sean Wadsworth Lisa Waldruff 142 Sophomores Sibley—Warner Jeff Bennett Lost and Confused New at Baker From junior high to Baker, this transition is accepted with mixed emotions: although they can’t wait to get into the high school, students worry about new teachers, new classes, and the seniors. Alyssa Sharfstein says, I was scared the juniors and seniors would make fun of me, but after I became friends with them they treated me like a person—not a sophomore!” Most students quickly learn to fit into life at Baker. Martha Aliwalas explains, I expected Baker to be a scary, confusing experience, when actually it’s no problem. Within a day or two, I easily figured out what I was doing and where 1 was going, and junior high was a closet compared to high school.” Although most students do muddle through the labyrinth of Baker High, don’t forget Jennifer Mayne: “I was afraid of getting lost at Baker, but unlike most people, I really did!” Dawn Varacchi Scott Sperry Dean Stewart Darren Sweeney Melissa Tahirak Deborah Tefoe Matthew Therrien Jasen Thompson Kevin Thompson David Townsend James Trapp Keith Treasure Valerie Valdes Dawn Varacchi Kathleen Varn Derek Ward Tina Ward Raymond Warner Sophomores Sibley—Warner 143 Co� ?0 “ Television Shows From ALF” to Beauty and the Beast to the MacNeil- Lehrer Report,” television holds many options for all.

You know that somewhere beneath it all, there is a teacher’s desk. The condition of a teacher’s desk may offer insight into his her personality. When questioned about his desk, Mr. Coon acknowledged that his desk is a mess, but insisted that it is an organized mess.” Not only the mundane and the ordinary, but the strange, the unusual, and the gross have been discovered on a teacher’s desk. Mrs. Nevid found an unwrapped, half-eaten sandwich” in her desk. A stranger experience is recalled by Mr. Bassett when he exclaims, ”1 found a brain on my desk once and it's been there ever since!” Whatever you discovered in the past, you may hope to have an experience similar to that of Mrs. Houghtaling. When asked, she replied with a smile, The day before Christmas vacation, I found an adorable, little doll in my seat. It was so cute!” Teachers often encounter a variety of objects on their desks that they did not place there themselves, and each teacher has their own special story.

There is a writing lab, math lab and social studies lab. Students can go to a lab anytime of the day to get help in those areas. The social studies lab is to help in all areas from the tenth grade European history to the senior electives of Economics and Participation in Government. Mr. Burtless says this about the social studies lab, It is there for students who are behind; they can one-on-one help which is beneficial to the students.” The math lab also helps the students in all areas covering basic to honors and tenth to AP courses. Mr. Tudman says, It is there for students to avail themselves if they want to. Any student who wants help in math can get it from the math lab. The writing lab is the equivalent of an English lab. They help students write essays, research papers, and prepare for the RCT's. The writing lab can also teach new techniques about writing a more interesting piece of literature. All the labs in the school are there to help the students. It is and extra effort by the teachers to show they care. Erin Altieri Although it's sometimes diffi- cult to motivate students, Mr. Widrick doesn't seem to exper- ience any difficulties in teach- ing his Spanish students.

But has anyone looked at it from their point of view? What really bothers me are kids that want to drop out of courses,” says Mr. Ambrose, I enjoy seeing a student who has really struggled with personal problems turn it around and deal with them in a positive way and make changes.” So, next time that you’re thinking that your guidance coun- selor is cold and unreachable, remember that they take the time to meet with the students on an individual basis or as a group during the guidance seminars.

Almost everyone participated in a sport of some kind. With our B’ville pride, every- one was persistent and had a lot of spirit. The hot excitement for sports begins in the summer. Athletes spend half of the steamy summer to improve skills. There are many home games to attend which help to ease the burning desire ignited over the summer months. When the season changes, sports go inside for the winter months. New sports take over to provide hot excitement. No matter how cold the weather becomes, count on B’ville to shine through. When the snow melts, the heat of spring takes control. Everyone digs out their equipment and be- gins their practices. Spring athletes struggle pressures of final exams to remain the hottest ticket around. You can always find B’ville sports ranked on top. Whether you are a spectator, coach, or athlete, everyone shares the feeling that B’ville sports are the hottest place to be.

Sports Divider 153 A Great Hit Looking back at the softball season, there were remembrances of both good and bad times. The good side is shown through friendships and having fun during the game, while the bad times are remembered by the loss of games. The Varsity girls' record of 4-13-1 showed many close games including losses to Henniger and Auburn by only one run. Honors went to Beth Greco and Lynda Neuman with a tie for M.V.P., and Stacy MacDonald was given the M.I.P. award. Describing the reason she plays, Lynda Neuman says, Softball is a great sport, I have been playing since I was seven years old. It has been one of my favorite hobbies. I probably won’t have time to play while in college, but I am sure I will play for fun!” I was able to pitch a lot during the games. The extra practice really helped to improve my skills, states Tammy Savage. Kristen Boivin As for the J.V. team, which was coached by Mr. Deloff, an observer would consider it a learning experi- ence. Even with their 4-12 season, the girls showed a great deal of improve- ment over the season. Games against Liverpool and West Genesee were the most exciting and difficult. Recognized players were: Kim LaRochelle, M.V.P.; Kristin Boivin M.I.P. Dawn Bigtree openly admits, Our games have their good and bad points. When we get psyched for a game we all pull together and cooperate. Our team does very well defensively. When we start losing, everyone blames mis- takes on somebody else. Then every- one gets upset.” All in all, the softball players have greatly enhanced over the course of the season, but realize improvement is necessary. As Tracy Seelman puts it, 'Practices were long and hard, but at the end, it seemed worthwhile. 154 Softball Kristen Boivin Jeff Bennett Facts Figures Varsity Softball 12 Utica 6 8 Fulton 9 8 Auburn 9 0 Oswego 5 3 Rome 4 0 C-NS 8 12 Henniger 13 6 West Genesee 3 1 ESM 3 11 FM 5 5 Auburn 6 7 Oswego 8 3 Henniger 8 9 West Genesee 10 2 Liverpool 10 16 ESM 10 1 FM 16 3 C-NS 3 Shelia Jenkins Ml a Standing at first base, Wendy Pacheck waits anxiously for the speeding ball.

I might play in the future, but I'm not sure.” Sophomore Tracy Deloff pitches a fast ball to her oppo- nent. She is pleased when she is able to strike out her adver- sary, as she did during this game. Besides being her father, Mr. Deloff always lends a hand to Tracy and her teammates as their coach. Tra- cy has a great deal of pressure upon her as she tries to please her father. Carrie Stock (32), who be- longed to the Varsity team during her junior year, played first base, pitcher, and outfielder: My best game is always the first one I play, be- cause I hit a home run.” Carrie moves into the batter's box, preparing herself to hit another RBI, contributing to the team s success in this game.

Life’s A Bench There are some sports that have just too many people on the team, and not everyone can participate. Then you have to sit on the bench. You can also be benched” because of an injury. In some sports, everyone partici- pates. Dayanne Douglas says, The thing I like best about track is that ev- erybody runs; nobody has to sit on the bench. All sports have their ups and downs. Everybody loves to win; it gives you a great feeling of accomplishment. On the other hand, losing is not so re- warding, but it's nice to know that some people are optimistic. For in- stance, Robin Sherman states, The thing I like best about indoor and outdoor track is that we work together as a team. I don’t mind losing, as long as I know we did our best and worked together.” Then there are those who are not so optimistic. Allan Fluntington says, Losing is like stub- bing your toe in the dark ... it hurts!” Well, you know what they say: life’s a bench.

Most people have a good outlook toward it, because they know it will improve their skills. Practice can be fun; it’s a time to talk with your friends and do what you en- joy. If you watch a team practicing, you'll see the entire team having a good time. Practice can be a pain, especially if the weather is bad. Football players and many other athletes have to prac- tice, no matter what the conditions may be. Jennifer Kenney says, Prac- tices are really tough, but, when we win a big match, all the hard work is worth it. The swim team often holds prac- tices in the morning before school starts. Michelle Hutton states, I love swimming, but practices in the morning are a real pain.” Cheerleaders practice from 6:00 to 8:00 pm. Melanie Aller, a football cheerleader, comments that the only thing she hates about practice is the aerobics. As an inspiration to everyone, there is the B’ville motto: pain if tempo- rary, pride is forever.” It’s simple: no pain, no gain. When it comes to soc- cer, Robyn Keller knows, It’s a lot of running, and even on cold days we sweat a lot because of the agony we go through.” Whatever sport you play, everyone knows practice makes perfect!

Someone to be there when you need them, to share victories, disappoint- ments, and to help psych each other up. You just won a big game and the best person to share, your joy with is a member of the team who is also your friend. We never won an away game, but we did tie.

To help each other cheer up or calm down, a friend should be the one to do the job. Varsity football player Chris Wener says, We just help each other forget it, after all its just a game. Marty Conners of the girls Lacross team says, everyone kept their spirits up even though we lost we wished for better games to come.

When playing baseball, you sometimes must dive, take a tumble, or even injure yourself in order to secure a victory. Jay Hornick takes a plunge into home plate, while the ref calls him safe. Jay’s fast action enabled him to beat the ball thrown by a member of the opposing team. When it comes to baseball, Brian Riggall says, I think we had a pretty successful season, considering that our team consisted mainly of sophomores playing Varsity for their first year. We ended the season on a high note, though, by beating strong teams like Liverpool and C.N.S., where we, the sophomores, played an instrumental role. So, the future looks promising for Baldwinsville baseball.” 160 Baseball Kristen Chong Perfect Mitt The Varsity Baseball team faced a challenge last spring. They were a very young team with only three seniors, four juniors, and more sophomores than they can remember. They had to work hard every day at practice, unless they were lucky enough to see light- ning in the sky, and in the end it paid off. Although the team won about as many games as it lost, they came away with two very important wins. They beat number one ranked CNS, knock- ing them out of first place and beat a big rival for all of B'ville’s athletic teams, Liverpool. Steve Peters, a pitcher on the team, says, We started off slow because we were such a young team, but the three seniors were great motivation for us and we ended up beating two top teams.” Steve had a great time last year and will definately be on the team again this year as a senior. Steve says, We’re supposed to be one of the best teams in the league this year.” Donna Bestor The Junior Varsity Bees weren’t blessed with much good luck last sea- son, but it was still fun, says Tim Jones. The Most Valuable Player was Andy Picciano, and Most Improved Player was awarded to Randy Boivin, who played his first year on the J.V. team. Art Alexander states, last year's season I didn’t get to practice much before the season started, but I still did pretty good.” The best game was against Henniger, with an outstanding perfor- mance by everyone, and the Bees showed that they had a lot of team co- operation. Art Alexander pitched a great game, and Tim Jones made the winning hit: a RBI with the bases loaded. Dave Penefeather admits, It was a pretty good year, and almost everyone (will be) returning. I’m really looking forward to next season.” The team was coached by Mark Bader, who did an excellent job of organizing the team. Sean Misiaszek sums up the baseball season with, We had a season of good points and some of bad. Unfortunately, J.V. mostly had the bad. But there's always next year!” Jennifer Huntley In High Spirits Take just one look around Baker and there s one thing you’ll always find no matter what—SPIRIT. Whether it’s being a screaming fan, a member of a team, or a member of a club, it takes spirit! A lot of kids show their spirit by attending games, hanging banners, painting their faces, or wearing red and white. Kim LaRochelle says I like to go and watch my friends and cheer them on. You’ve got to go to every game and participate, says Jack LePorte. Pep rallies, homecoming spirit week with its dress codes and class competi- tions are other ways students get in- volved. Team spirit is shown most often be- fore games when members dress up or wear their uniforms to school. Some- times teams choose psyche partners Karen Smith says It’s fun to think up some stupid way to get your friend psyched up for a match and it puts ev- eryone in a good mood.” Mike Shepard thinks team spirit is led by two or three people who keep every- body pumped up during a game—even for the people who don’t play.” The cheerleaders try their best to keep the crowds fired up” at games along with Buzzy, who is always around handing out lollipops to fans.

Baseball 161 Heavy Metal The weight room is conveniently located off the boy’s gym and is open daily for your personal use. Steve Tillman says, It all starts with the de- sire to be your best. Chris Lombard feels, The weight room is a place where a person’s dreams can become reality through hard work and dedica- tion. Dana MacDonald claims, ‘The weight room is a place to blow off steam after a hard day. A more sexist point of view held by Dave Lindstrom is, It’s for men only.” Every student will have seen or used the equipment in the weight room be- fore they’re released from their three- year-long captivity at Baker. Students learn about the weight room through gym classes and involvement in various sports throughout their student career. Whatever your reasons for ven- turing into the weight room may be, just remember what they say: It’s not just a work out, it’s an adventure. Hilary Clement Front: Jackie Burn, Sue Genett.

He also led che team scoring 87 points. He and other teammates led the Bees in a 400x800 meter relay in Section III all year. Sue Genett On the Fast Track Boys’ track finished their season with a good team record of 7-2 in the league. The bees had a third place fin- ish. The coach this year was Charles Duggan, with help from assistant coach Daniel Bassett. Sophomore Joe Saraceni led the team in scoring, with 87 points. Dave Lindstrom threw the shotput over 51 feet, making him and J.J. Grant the only 50 foot shot putters in B’ville history. Jim MacPherson was the num- ber one high jumper, finishing second in the league. Bill Eastman was the leading 1600 meter runner, the fastest ever run by a ninth grader at Baker. Graduated seniors that did well were Kevin Hayes, Bruce West, and Rich Bernardin. The 400x800 meter relay team of Bruce West, Kevin Hayes, Joe Saraceni, and Bill Eastman led Section III all year. The Bees graduate some key sen- iors, but return with strong underclass- men to promise a very successful sea- son next year. To sum it all up, Joe Saraceni says, I hate track. NOT! Shannon Ryan The girls spring track team had an excellent season. The record for the year was 8-1. Along with winning oth- er track meets the girls went on to vic- tories which include Onondaga High School League, North Championship Meet, and the Cortland Invitational.

I like it when it's muddy at foot- ball practice because you don't get injured as easily, and when it’s dry, I get dust in my eyes and it bothers them,” is how Erik Grobsmith felt the weather affected his performance as an athlete. Although Erik feels that wet weather is better to play in, many dis- agree. Tom DiNapoli remarked, when it’s muddy, you have no traction and you get really dirty.” Dean Stuart complained that when it rains at foot- ball, it makes my shield blurry.” Jeff Hallenbeck said the worst part is how slippery the ball gets when it rains. Cold temperatures was a complaint of- ten heard. Runner Bray Turner com- mented that when it’s brutal no one wants to go out. Even though we all want to run inside, the coach makes us go out anyway.” Joey Saraceni ob- served that the distance runners are the only ones gutsy enough to brave the weather, the wimpy sprinters stay indoors. Frank Fritcher explained that when it’s cold out, my lacrosse stick breaks.” Sara Santelli and Meg Batchelor said, we're in track and we freeze when we have to run outside in December. Mr. Goulet's practices are brutal.” Whether or not you like the weather, practices are inevitable for dedicated athletes. Like Jen Capria said, like the mailmen—we brave rain, snow, sleet, and hail, all the elements.” Katrina Donoghey I hate it when Mr. Weatherman comes along and ruins our practice.” —Bray Turner 164 Lacrosse Tennis Jeff Bennett Great Shots The boys' spring tennis team had a fairly good season with a record of 5- 6. The team captain was Mark Dunnagen. Last year's seniors Craig Scibetta and Scott Gunnerman re- ceived Most Valuable Player. Craig played first singles and Scott played second singles. Receiving Most Im- proved Player recognition was Tom Shepard. In the beginning of the season, the boys’ bees team overcame losses, all by one point. The team rallied back to win five of the last six matches. Andy Cline, who plays on varsity, exclaims, Last year's highlight was our victory over Onondaga High School. Before the match, we were nervous and kind of prepared to lose. Somehow, with great effort and co- operation by our team, we won. That was most exciting because we broke their 42 consecutive winning streak.” For the first time in many years, all seven starters have qualified for sectionals. This year, there will be only two starters. Hopefully, these under- classmen will be able to hold the team together and pull through to have a winning season.

Chrissy Sprague The girls' lacrosse team didn't do as well as expected, due to many new members. The players ranged from eighth graders to juniors. The were no tryouts or cuts; the intention of the team was to have fun and learn about lacrosse. The Most Valuable Player was Jenny Lamb, and the Most Im- proved Player award went to Melissa Tahirak. Chrissy Sprague states, We may have had a bad season last year, but it was a lot of fun and a new experience for most of us.” Everyone on the team agrees that the girls tried hard and did their best, but were faced against top- notch competitors. Debbie Walters comments, Everyone on the team gets along, and games are always so much fun! Sometimes the practices are a lit- tle hard, but I manage. The team has no permanent captains; the girls rotated in order to share the responsi- bility. This is the first year that girls’ la- crosse has been recognized as a sport instead of a club. Overall, the girls hope for a better turn out of participators and look forward to next year's season.

There’s always the anticipation of making a mistake during a play or making a wrong judgement, but if you’re on a true team, errors are erased and overcome by desire to strive for excellence, says Tom McAuliffe. Most team members are together a lot. It gives you a chance to make great friends, but it also tends to make you argue. There is always too much pressure to be like a superstar, to try to be someone you're not, be yourself and give it your best. If you give 100%, that is what you'll get in return,” states Dan Morgan.

Coached by Mrs. Allen, rhe Girls’ Varsity Tennis team pulled through to win a grand-slam season with a record of 9-3. Most of the team was made up of seniors, with only a few underclass- men. Team captains were Karen Schibetta and Jennifer Smith. Jennifer says, Not only did we have a winning team, everyone had a riot! Playing first single was Heather Miller who aced her way to Sectionals and was also a state qualifier for which she received the MVP award. Karen Schibetta played at second singles for her second year. Showing off their smooth strokes at first doubles were Patty Lynn and Karen Smith. Carrie Bombardo received the MIP recogni- tion. The closest game was when the lady bees back handed the Liverpool War- riors and one by a match. Kate Seymour adds, The whole team was psyched up to win even though we knew it would be tough.” The team is looking forward to next year then they will once again have to play hard to get all that they de-serve! The Junior Varsity Tennis Team had a rather struggling season. This year there were many new and inexperienced players added to the team. Although they had rough times, they made it through to victory after much hard work and dedication. Playing first singles was Jean Brussel. Taking the rank at second singles was Jennifer Reitz, a first year player. Jennifer says, The tennis team was a lot of fun and I got a chance to meet some new people. The best thing is, this year’s team has the best record ever held by a Junior Varsity Team.” Tennis was a learning experience since I’m a new player. My goal for next year is to get more playing time. I also hope to improve my skills,” de- clares Tricia Goetzke. The feelings of the entire team were summed up by the words of Tammy Kyrula, “It wasn’t so much who won or lost, al- though winning a lot made it more en- joyable, but what was truly important was the friendships formed and the acquaintences made.” Jennifer Huntley Facts Figures Girls’ Varsity Tennis 6 Bishop Ludden 1 7 Oswego 0 2 Skaneateles 5 7 CNS 0 4 Auburn 3 5 Henninger 2 4 Liverpool 3 7 West Genesee 0 7 Utica 0 0 Fayetteville 7 6 Cazenovia 1 2 Rome 5 Facts Figures Girls’ J.V.

We had a disappointing season this year, but with more experience and newcomers from the JV team there’s a better chance for next year,” says Chris LaRocca. The team had a record of 4- 11-1. Paul Buckley sums the season up, We were so close, but yet so far away.” The junior varsity soccer team didn't have a very good season, due to the amount of beginners. Half-back Randy Boivin says, We started off slow, but then we poured on strong at the end of the season.” The team's best game was played against Fayetteville-Manlius. Scott LaRocca made the winning penalty- shot. Their MVP was forward Dave Hesch, and the MIP was Tom Mills. I think it's pretty exciting that we got to play under the lights at Pelcher Arcaro Stadium,” says Don Gentilcore. The game was against Rome Free Academy, where they won with a score of 3 to 2. Bob Doherty says, We had a de- cent season and we should have beat West Genessee,” which was their closest game. A last shot wasn’t counted; the buzzer went off a second too soon.

There were many mixed opinions about the change. For the most part, students were for the astroturf. Unfortunately, the cost would be passed on to the taxpayer, so the vote was no. In contrast, Miy Lyons declares, It’s not astroturf, it's an artificial surface.” We should have gotten it.

The teams starting five from last year came back again this year from a record of 2-18, to an even record so far of 9-9, with two league games left to play.

Lisa Roy says, It was nice to finally have a winning basketball team.” The Baldwinsville Varsity basketball team has not made it to sectionals in five years. But our outstanding team has. This team also had another record-breaking feat. After 17 years of losing to the Liverpool Warriors, the Varsity Bees took control of their own gym when they beat the Warriors 64-62. Chevon Scott, a senior, second time starter says, I don't feel that there is any team in the league that we can’t beat.” Chevon averaged 20 points game. Brian Socker, a junior, and also a second time varsity guard, says, I feel the team will be just as good in the 89 90 season, if not better than this year's team because of our re- turning players and the intensity of our new coach, John Devendorf.” Josh Gonnella (24) states, After seeing so many losing seasons from the Varsity Basketball team, it was nice to be a part of a winning team, and the first to go to sectionals in five years. We hope to do even better next year.” Accord- ing to Matt Neimier, a 6'8 senior, There are only two things in basket- ball, 1 — winning the league championships, and 2 — winning sectionals, nothing else matters. Brian Kelly (10) says, All the hard work they put forth this season was really worth it!” Amy Fields Boys’ Basketball 183 Chrissy Sprague Making A Splash The Varsity swim team finished off the season with an excellent record of 11-2, and placing second in the OHSL. The Bees listed 18th in the New York State Sportswriters poll of top scholas- tic swim teams. After the regular sea- son, they went on to sectionals placing third out of 12 other schools. Overall the team broke seven out of eleven of Baker’s records. Receiving MVP was co-captain Nick Jensen. Nick qualified for states, and broke records in the 100 and 200 freestyle relays. Recognition for MIP went to Erik Dalaker and most spirited to Jason Kantak. Some highlights of the year were when Doug Hickman, Nick Jensen, Roger Acker and Erik Dalaker record- ed their fastest clocking of the year in the free relay, 3:29.55. In the 100 backstroke, Erik Dalai Dalaker set a school record of 58.20. Against RFA, Greg Carner captured first place for the Bees in the 100 fly. Other great moments were when Roger Acker took first in the 500 free and Jason Kantak first in the 100 backstroke. Out of the water, the swimmers have their own opinion of the season. When asked, Dave Dodson replied, Your hair gets so dry that you can break it into tiny pieces.” Jon Faber declares, The three best parts of swimming are shaving our heads, lactic acid, and that’s finally over.” A more arrogant point of view, Doug Hickman loves to swim because, I get to show off my incredibly muscular and sexy body and dunk Knick’s Sam- my.” Spraying Roger with the hose and kickboard fights were my favorite part of practice,” says Scott Stocking. Overall the team had a spectacular record and much credit is given to Mr. Foster and Ms. Knowlton.

The Bees showed they could handle it. The M.V.P. was Joe Saraceni who was the only triple winner in the Section 3 Championships. He also won the 600, 1600, and the 3200 meter run. He’s also 1st. in the section inthe 1600 meter run, 1000 meter run, 3200 meter run, and the 3200 relay. The most improved player was awarded to Duff Pond. Rich Ameele tied the school record in the 55 meter high hurdles in 8.1 seconds. Dave Lindstrom set a new school record in the shot put with a score of 51 ft., 6 inches. The boys team had an outstanding season this year. They were in the top 3 in every major invitational and runnersup in the league and section championships. The team is madeup of mostly juniors and will be a major force next year. Joe Saraceni and Duff Pond were outstanding in all aspects of competing and team leadership. Rich and Ryan Ameele were very solid in the hurdle event and the high jump. All in all the Indoor Track team proved, once again, to many people who the best really was. Chrissy Sprague and Charlie Duggan The girls 1989 indoor track team did excellent and qualified for state; qualifiers. The girls qualified for class A section 3 state qualifiers at New Hartford, New York. Mr. Jim Goulet is the girls track coach, and his team placed well this year. Names that were mentioned by Goulet were Katie Butler, Meghan Batchelor, Kim Hayes, Renee Haas, and Heather Doran. Kim Hayes men- tioned, I like indoor track because I like running in Manly Field House.” The 1988-89 indoor track team had a great year and hopefully will contin- ue to do so next year. Ellen Falon Sophomore Megan Batchelor runs through the halls when its too cold out to practice outside. Heather Doran, being observed by Coach Goulet, practices for indoor track. Indoor Track 189 Jennifer Huntley Bump It! The Varsity Volleyball Team had a much more successful year than the years in the past. The team consisted of seven seniors, captains Carrie Stock, Karen Welch, Amy Rouse and Mi- chelle Cooper as well as Jennifer Kenney, Beth Baker and Donna Tracy; two juniors, Kim LaRochelle and Dawn Gareau; and two sophomores, Andrea Scala and Lisa McComber. The team was coached by Miss Langtry, who was upgraded to the var- sity level. Miss Langtry states, The Lady Bee netters rose to the challenge, were impressive on the court and left their mark on the Big Ten League.” Karen Welch feels, Volleyball is a harder game than most people think. It takes a lot of work and concentration. You make a lot of good friends when you play a team sport and share a lot of special moments that will last a life- time.” Amy Rouse states that volley- ball has ... helped me to release my tensions and I really love playing it, I had a lot of fun! Michelle Cooper said, I thought things went a lot smoother than last year.” The record of the lady bees was 6-8. The girls let all teams know that you can not walk in and beat B’ville. Carrie Stock During practice Kim LaRochelle bumps the ball over to partner Karen Welch. As Kim's first year on varsity she’s a starting player. The B'ville Lady Bees curious- ly wait for their opponent to return the ball. Some players like Karen Welch hope to play in college.

Girls’ Volleyball 191 . - On The Ice The Boys’ Varsity Hockey team be- gan the season at a new home, Shove Park in Camillus. The Bees posted an early 3-3 record until the return of sen- ior center Pat McCarthy and a matur- ing of the whole team enabled them to win 7 of their next 8. At this time the Bees are 12-6 and looking forward to sectionals. Although the team played well and poorly, senior goalie Tony Fichera remained constant playing the best in his five years on the team. The high points of the year were the teams second place finish in the Cor- coran Tournament and an earlier over- time win against Corcoran. The win was made sweeter because freshman center Jeff McDermott scored the game winner. Pat McCarthy says, The younger players have adjusted very well. The icemen also avenged their losses last season to Solvay by beating them 8-1 and 4-1. Senior captain Rod Stanton remarks, We’ve done the best we could given what we had to work with. Confidence on both offense and defense was displayed game in and game out, as Tony Fichera says, It’s a pleasure to be involved with such an intense team. Senior captain Tom Patterson wants to thank coaches Mark Lloyd and Kevin Sheehan for giving him a chance to play with Pat and Mike, the Dream Line!” The team looks forward to another great season next year and since they are only losing five seniors, coach Lloyd has a full, seasoned team ready to play hockey. The seniors want to say thanks to the coaching staff, training staff and to all the fans who stayed with us through the bad times! Tom Patterson Facts Figures Boys’ Varsity Hockey 5 Pen field 6 11 B.

In addition to providing much-need- ed financial assistance for the musical and yearbook, the community is al- ways counted upon as a source of support for the athletes as everyone gets fired-up for the games. The community is always prepared to accommodate the students and their needs. These needs vary widely from flame-broiled burgers or piping-hot pizza to hurriedly sought after Cliff Notes” for the latest English assign- ment to a refreshing, ice-cold drink on a humid summer night. Wherever the entertainment you prefer lies, it can be found nearby. Red-hot movies may be seen at the theater or rented and enjoyed in the comfort of home. If a quiet evening out is more your speed, you may want to try the food at one of the local res- taurants. If you have a need to be filled, ot a service to provide, then B'ville is definitely the place to be.

Sure the river would have been there, but the four corners was just a simple dirt crossroads and white settlers, mostly farmers, in the area were few and far between. Asking directions to Baldwinsville might have gotten you quizzical looks, as most of the folks knew it as McHarrie’s Rifts after the first settler and Revolutionary veteran John McHarrie who helped load boats to cross the rifts where the locks are today. The numerous stores that exist today would also have been absent, the first general store would not open until 1814. Other employment could be sought at the grist mill, saw mill, or flour mill in the area and the toll bridge brought additional money to the area. The farms that still exist at Baldwinsville's outskirts could be found. Today, however, it would be difficult to find 500 acres that could be bought for $.75 acre as John McHarie did.

Genesee Sts., Baldwinsville A Special Suburb The answer to the question, What makes Baldwinsville different from other towns and villages? is simply, a lot! The Seneca River and the locks provide an easy and convenient travel option. Most people don’t mind the wait because it gives them an opportunity to speak with friends. The statue serves as an important remainder of the Civil War. A visual and tangible remembrance and acknowledgement of the bravery of those that fought in the war. Perhaps, the most important difference is the Four Corners. It is more than just an intersection; it is a common meeting place. Conveniently located near the school and village stores, students often gather around there. Baldwinsville has a main street , village stores and busy intersections just like any other town. But the river, statue, and Four Corners make B'ville a very special place to live. Kristin Chong Fine Traditional Furniture CONGRATULATIONS CLASS OF 1989 Congratulations, Seniors!

But growth is still a big part of its future. What will Baldwinsville look like around the year 2000? Says Mayor Tom Doris, I think the most substantial change will be that Baldwinsville will not be an isolated village, but will be part of a suburban sprawl , . . The surrounding areas will in- crease substantially in terms of population. As support of his opinion, Mayor Doris states the easy access provided by the thruway and rt. 690. North Syracuse, Dewitt, and the Reservation prevent Syracuse from expanding in three directions; we’re the only way left.” The downtown can not grow, but open land in the surround- ing areas, such as Plainville and out toward Liverpool, will disap- pear in the next ten years.

With an explosion of laughter, Heather Kinnear and Martha Aliwalas prepare to begin their bus ride to see the play Look Homeward 214 Closing Patricia Johnson Burning down. The final analysis would show that it was the end of the ar that made our spirits and comradery lessen. No outside force could break the bonds that we ad formed. Even though the sports teams didn’t have the great seasons they hoped for, ttendance and support for them remained high. And we were also unwilling to condone the actions of those who were trying to ruin it for the rest of us. Those responsible for the bomb threats and for setting off the smoke bombs were quickly turned in and punished. Dousing the inferno. But the hardest part was yet to come. How to end it all? Would Gradua- tion, Moving Up Day, and the Prom and Ball be as unsuccessful as they had been before? Certainly not! Nearly every couple going together planned to attend the dances, even if it was held in (gasp!) the gym. And many people actually intended to participate in M.U.D. rather than sign in and sneak off campus. A glowing ember. Well, perhaps more than that was left at the end of the year. OK, so the biggest local issue, astroturfing Pelcher-Arcaro stadium hadn’t been passed, but much else had been. For one thing, the newly built Great Northern Mall had become a popular local hangout. While on the academic side, such things as PIG, Economics and the new tenth grade Social Studies Regents had made their debuts. And even though we lost Mr. Brown to the middle school, Mr. Woodcock was introduced to and accepted by Baker students. But remember this: once the last Regents is finished and the last bus has turned out onto East Oneida Street, once the doors are locked for the summer and everyone has all gone home, that smouldering ember will still remain, ready to ignite whatever it comes in contact with, and maybe, just maybe, an even hotter edition will be seen in years to come.

Approximately $22,000 was paid to Herff-Jones, 6015 Travis Lane, Shawnee Mis- padded and personalized copies of the 1989 Lyre. The cover and endsheets were created as a joint ef- fort between the coeditors and our advisors, Patricia Johnson and Marta Jetty. Airbrushing on the cover was done by Brett Newcomb in red, orange, yellow and magenta. To this was added gold foil for the personal- ized senior names and ’Hot.” The 232 pages were printed on enamel paper. The laminated cover was lithographed on vibra-weave pa- per. Captions and photo credits were done in 10 and 8 pt. Garamond. Body copy was 12 pt. Garamond. WMF studios, 58 Oswego St., Baldwinsville, Ny. 13027 was the official photographer of The Hot Edi- tion. Senior portraits wrere done at their downtown stu- dio, while underclassmen pictures were done at school over a two day period. All color pictures were either donated by individual students or taken by the staff and developed by Reflex Photo Design, Tri-County Mall, Baldwinsville. All black and white candids were taken, developed and printed by Baker students. The coeditors w'ould like to thank: Patricia Johnson, for her useful ideas and extensive knowledge of past successful yearbooks. Marta Jetty, for fresh insights into yearbooking as well as for her help after school when Mrs. Johnson was taking care of her newly adopted baby. John Osgood, for being more helpful then could be expected or asked from our Herff-Jones Representa- tive. To Ron and Marsha Boram for sponsoring the educational Gettysburg workshop for yearbook editors and Col. Chuck Savedge for his witty, humorous and always inspirational lectures on making your yearbook better. Especially WMF Studios for a great deal of tech- nical and photographic support. To all the students, fa- culty and administration of Baker for their numerous inputs into what they wanted in the 1989 Lyre. And lastly, but by far not leastly, to the staff and their par- ents for understanding the late hours we kept and for dealing with our many flaw's and mistakes to help us create the hottest edition of the Lyre we know’ of. Thanks to all of you.
