inrs The Class of '80 entered Eastern during the bicentennial year 1976. In November we selected our officers for our first year and the slate consisted of the following, Sue Denaro-Pres., Kathy Appleby-V. Pres., Jo Ann Kolakowski-Sec., Eileen Ference-Treas., and Christine Vincenzo-Class Historian. It took a while to get rolling because of late elections but once started it was full speed ahead. Frank Connelly was selected as our faculty advisor. We, along with the Blue Max Cafe and Blarneys sponsored several freshman nights with bargain prices, raffles, and plenty of dancing. Our biggest gain was to establish, along with the other classes, a student fund that alloted one dollar for every student in our class to be transferred to our account. Surprising election results turned out an entirely new slate for our sophomore year. The officers consisted of Jo Ellen Dudek-Pres., Brian Gulla-V. Pres., Cindy Mellor-Sec., Kathy Gomes-Treas., and Chris Vincenzo-Hist.. Our sophomore year turned out to be big in both fund- raisers and activities. The Class of '80 initiated many fresh new ideas that earned money and got all the classes to work together on events. Our Sophomore Night in our newly opened Rathskeller was a first and brought in a record breaking crowd, the largest number of people to attend to pub to this date! Also, the first Book Swap was run by the Classes of '80 and '79. This was a very successful event which earned one hundred dollars for each class. We sponsored the first Beer Party and a very successful Spring Semi-Formal which was initiated by the Class of '80 and was run by the three classes. Halfway through the year the resignation of V. Pres. Brian Gulla led to the election of V. Pres. Timmy Larson and by the end of our sophomore year, the resignation of Historian Christine Vincenzo led to her nomination for class President. Our newly elected officers for our Junior year was the winning ticket of: Pres. Chris Vincenzo, V. Pres. Jo Ann Kolakowski, Sec. Nancy Schneider, Treas. Jeff Sizer and a Class Hist. Cindy Repoli. Our first event was a Junior Night at the Blue Max in October. In November we sponsored a very successful Red Cross Blood Mobile and our huge success of the month was a fabulous Beer 8: Pizza Party featuring the band, Two's Company and a first prize of Dinner for two plus movie tickets. The first Winter Semi-Formal was held in December with the help of C.O.B. 8z in March we gave the freshman a helping hand in the co-sponsored Beer Bash with Mark Kaplowe . Other events were St. Pattys Party at Blarneys and another Blue Max Night. Our final event was the spring semi-formal. Our Junior year proved quite prosperous. At election time our officers selected consisted of the following: Pres. Christine Vincenzo, V. Pres. Jo Ann Kolakowski, Ass't Treas. John Steele and Hist. Cindy Repoli. The selection of Grace Enggas as co-advisor was another first by the Class of 1980. With the help of our executive board we started the year off by selling stuffed animals and Christmas decorations. A new law prohibiting the purchase of liquor by classes ended our Beer events so fund raisers were very important. Our events planned were an arts and crafts fair, and a Dinner!Dance, selling class t-shirts, a Book Swap that earned 3300, a concertfdance and a Semi-Formal. Senior week began right after final with Senior night in the Pub with Tom Stonkus. After a relaxing Friday Senior Reception was held at Chestnut Lodge in Colchester. Saturday was full of anticipation with an afternoon picnic and Count Down party with Dancing with Henry. Some of our memorable moments at Eastern included the election of a new U.S. president, our concerts of Melba Moore, Pure Praire League, and Harry Chapin,, the opening of our Pub, the opening of the library terrace, and the blizzard of '78. Other events include our newly lighted baseball field, the student Budget Cut Rally, Spree Day, waking up to repairs on our roofs, the celebration of E.C.S.C.'s 90th anniversary, the welcoming of a new decade and the opening of our new futures.

Z 5, M M as- vi' r Daniel Paul Wilson Psycology with Communications We were talking-about the space between us all. And the people-who hide themselves behind a wall of illusion. Never glimpse the truth-then its far too late-when they pass away. We were talking-about the love we all could share-when we find it. To try out best to hold it there with our love. With our love-we could save the world-if they only knew. -George Harrison
