Manchester High School - Anchor Yearbook (Manchester, MA)

Text from Pages 1 - 144 of the 1978 volume:

In Memory and Dedication It is with a sense of very deep loss that we, the class of 1978, dedicate our yearbook in memoriam to Robert Horvath. He was, first, a completely devoted, family man who treasured the love and companionship of his wife Jan and son Todd. He earned, also, in no small measure, the respect and friendship of the students he worked with, and for. here at Manchester Jr. -Sr. High School. The young men he led on the baseball field and basketball court were fortunate to have ben- efited from the sensitive and compassionate leadership of a man who exhibited a graceful and mature posture whether winning or losing. His presence among us has been and will be sorely missed, but we, the Class of 1978 will forever cherish his memory, and we hope to adhere to the principles he strove mightily to impart.

They have lived through our chicken dinners, songfests, calendars, beach towels, bake sales, and auction. We couldn ' t have done it without them. For this, we want to thank our lucky stars!

LEO FRASER This year ' s Anchor is a conglomeration of nail-biting and fear of missing deadlines, but mainly a lot of care and dedication. The source of all of this was the 1978 staff who appeared to have endless amounts of these emotions. This was demonstrated by the size of the staff itself, and the amount of members who showed up for meetings, when really needed. The staff would like to thank Mr. Fraser for all the time and support he gave throughout the formation of the yearbook. We would never have made it without him. 31 M.H.5. Band 1st row, l to r: J.

CAMERA SHY Desmond Battles Robert Louge Benjamin Magoun John Radack David Seale Paul Borehersen TO THE CLASS OF 1978 Six years ago you entered Manchester Jr. -Sr. High School and the reputation that preceded you from grade school was mixed. Some of you and some of your teach- ers were hesitant about predicting growth and success. When you were in junior high we gave special attention to your academic and counseling programs. But that was a long (short?) time ago. Your record in the National Merit Scholarship Competition and in admission to college, your leadership in sports and extracurricular activities, and especially your growing spirit as evidenced in the Christmas Songfest and other events, are proof of what we have accomplished together. Perhaps other classes have achieved higher individual goals, but none has come such a long way. And progress is what education and people are all about. Thank you and . . . KEEP IT GREEN Richard C. Howland Principal Dear Classmates of ’78: Soon we all will be going off in different direc- tions. but no matter where we go or what we become we will all have one thing in common, we were the class of ' 78, and that’s something to be proud of. Each of our lives will be comprised of many memories, and the best of them will be moments at MHS. highlighted by senior year. Who could ever forget our two soggy chicken dinners, quickie brainstorms for songfest, your classic junque auc- tion, the countless crazy nights at, you got it. enve- lope stuffing, and best of all. the prom, class trip, and graduation. Many times we ' ve been in jams and we ' ve sur- prised each other by pulling out ahead. We ' ve been together for a long time but this year we’ve been the closest. Because of this, it ' s been the best. Good luck guys. The Officers 65 MHS Superlatives Best Actress and Actor Anastasia Brown. Joe Willwerth Most Congenia l: Patti Atwater.

Baseball ' 77 There is just cause for optimism among the staff and players for 1978. This year’s baseball team was young, and inexperienced but managed to acquit themselves admirably in all but a few ballgames. Skip Milne makes his varsity baseball coaching debut, and we are sure he will approach it with his usual verve. The loss of Bob Horvath through tragic circumstances was a blow which will take some determination to recover from, but recover the team will, and carry on the proud tradition of Manchester baseball. Bottom row: S. Rodier, C. Davis, J. Rueter, M. Logue, B. Pasek, J. Brown, Biff Colella. Top row: Manager J. Chouinard. J. Collins, C. Rodier. C. Bell. J. St.Clair. S. Nicol, P. Nasser, D.

Chouinard. This year ' s team finished third in the Division II of the Cape Ann League with a 7-10 record. Overall they finished 8-11. Highlights of the season were the scoring of Paul Nasser, with 343 Pts„ for an 18.1 average and Steve Nicol with 246. for a 12.5 average. A Christmas festi- val at Cape Cod and a double win over Hamil- ton-Wenham for the first time in 10 years. Coach Nalley says This group of boys had tremendous dedication, hustle, and desire, and that their character on and off the court will make them successful in later life.” He also is looking forward to next year with the addition of this year ' s 14-3 J.V. Team!! 74 Girls ' Varsity Basketball First row, left to right: Ruth Dame, Cathy Smith, Linda Marshall, Beth DiAngelo. Second row: Lisa Juel, Patti Atwater, Barbara Creed. Eliza Procter. Coach Kay Volchko. SCORE!!! Another basket for the mighty Hornettes. The 1977- ' 78 season proved to be a rebuild- ing stage in the structure of the Hornettes. Although we bid farewell to our faithful seniors, Lisa, Cathy, and Patti, we look forward to an even more productive season in the year to come. The remaining players will all be well experienced and ready to face the oncoming challenges. It’s spirit that counts and we have plenty of it! 76 J.V. Boys 7 Basketball LHti, Standing: C. Fritz, J. Lear, J. Lance, D. Greene, T. Bullock. Seated: J. McKinley, D. Bell, Coach Milne. Kneeling: D. Cook, B. Colella, J. Borel, B. Melvin. This years team was one of the finest JV teams in the past 10-15 years. Through hustle and aggressiveness they compiled a 14-3 record for the season. The strength of this talented team was their unselfishness toward each other. Any given game two or three players would be the leading scorers. The highlight of the season was a come from behind overtime victory over Hamil- ton-Wenham while playing without two of our starters. Look for a bright future from these men that will be full of excitement and victory. J.V. Girls ' Basketball Front row, left to right: L. Stanley, M. Noonan, K. O’Brien, M. Smith, N. Lations, M. Shaw. Second row: Coach Wallace, M. Logue, L. Stanley, C. Capon, K. Klebart, L. Marshall, J. Reimersma. The Manchester Junior Varsity girls had what we like to call a toughening up season due to MHS ' s size. Meeting with defeat drew only more spirit out of the JV girls this year and we look for- ward to seeing many of them as future additions to the varsity squad. 79 J.V. Candids Bottom row: T. Piergrossi, B. Johnson. Captain D. Harlow, B. Pasek, M. Chapman, V. Bernson. Top row: Coach V. Gagnon, E. Hunt, J. Schanley, D. Martz, E. Field, Manager W. Crane. The ' 77- ' 78 Freshman Hornets Boys’ Basketball team concluded their season with a 9-7 won-loss record. Highlights of the season included wins over Ipswich, Triton, North Reading, Rockport, Pen- tucket, Amesbury, and Georgetown. 81 Freshman Boys Basketball 1978 Freshman Girls ' Basketball 1978 Bottom row, left to right: M.

E. Doyle, K. Manos, L. Green. The Freshman Girls ' basketball team was long on talent and enthusiasm, but short on experience. Over 80 % of the large squad were eighth graders, while their opposition did not include any girl below ninth grade. This year was viewed as a “learning-the-bas- ics” and “gaining-experience” year, with every girl playing in every game. Hopefully, the enthusiasm, loyalty, and dedication of the group will last. If it does in a few short years they will be unbeatable! ! ! 82 Varsity Basketball Cheerleading Brenda Gamble. Liz Brown. Karen Juel, Captain Debby Radack and Wendy Gamble, Pam Laughridge and Capt.

The girls’ tennis team at MHS continued their phenomenal performance on the court during the 1977 season with 30 straight wins, and (of course) no losses. The team has given great pride to the school, the coach, and them- selves. We look to see them continue to be an asset to MHS this spring. Left to right: B. Ina, D. Cook, A. Textons, K. Vutech, T. Cooke, D. Coons, and B. Pasek. The Boys’ Tennis Team won their second consecutive Cape Ann League Champion- ship. The boys now have won 24 out of their last 28 matches. In the state tournament they won in the first round against Situate 5-0 and lost in the second round 4-1 to Sharon. Graduation takes away Damon Coons, and Jeff Bishop who lost one match in 2 years at number one doubl es, giving them a record of 27 and 1 1. Andy Textoris who also graduates, played at 3 singles, and won many matches over the past 3 years. Returning will be Barry Pasek at 1 posi- tion and Billy Ina at 2 position who should give Coach Nalley the best one-two punch in the league next year. Boys ' Tennis 1977 Damon goes for a backhand.

The players on this team were determined to succeed and did so with class. An outstanding senior class led by three dedicated captains, complemented a young, but aggressivejunior and sophomore group. Our J.V. team showed steady improve- ment highlighted by a last-game victory against an undefeated Southeast Regional team. Next year ' s team shows more promise, more excitement, and more victories!
