Parkland High School Orefield, PA 18069 Volume 35 ParK 1984 ressed to kill ork. We work from September to June. It's tough, but we can handle it. Senior Mike Joseph explains, Many colleges respect a graduate from Parkland. These colleges know how much time and effort has been put forth by the student. Sweat. The summer of '83 was the hottest in a while. Yet the field hockey team began grueling practices the second week of August. But at least they had lightweight skirts on. The football team began double sessions practices the third week of August in 10-15 pounds of full gear. Junior Jim Mil-ham recalls, It's like a sweatbox inside of your uniform. Sacrifice. Students give up time to stay after school for sports practices, club meetings, and publication deadlines. We never quit. We never give up. We aren't wimps. If we are losing a basketball game, do we give up? No, we fight like Trojans are supposed to. Before the homecoming game, the parents of senior football players and cheerleaders were given recognition. Mrs. Bernice Rubin stands with her daughter Reva. Wishing it were 80° instead of 15°, Parkland students and fans show their school spirit by getting involved and hanging a mock canary, Allen's mascot. Mr. Jerry Pail attempts to make his way through some hoops with a raw egg in his mouth. He is participating in the obstacle course event in the Almost Anything Goes competition. 2 Opening Before the holidays, some students in the Horiculture program at the Vo-Tech school make Christmas wreaths and cheerfully decorate them with bright red ribbons. Bathed in shaving cream and playing emcee, Tim Kurtz announces the winner of the last event. He watches the Anything Goes crowd through his priceless sun glasses. During the halftime at a varsity basketball game, junior Sherry Kuzma, a member of the winter guard, performs. The winter guard was a new team effort this year.

On Color Day did we just wear red and gray socks? No, we wore gray pants, and red shirts, red shoes, and spray painted our hair—the works. Spirit. Spirit has tripled since last year. At games and school events school mascot, Tom Summers, boosts our morale. And Tom's crazy antics have livened up our early mornings with his loudspeaker prose. We get results from all of these things. Work, sweat, and sacrifice give us academic results. 281 students made the honor roll the first rating period. And 54 of those students are members of the National Honor Society. In sports the soccer team had its best season ever. And the football team placed second in the East Penn Conference. The sophomore class made a $4500 profit on a cookie sale, the largest fundraiser so far this year. 4 Opening Junior John Hanson emerges from a studyhall carrel after practicing some resting techniques. Lew Keifer, Robin Hood, has his own idea how to shoot a bow . . . without an arrow! Seniors Jeff Alicea and Barbara Caliendo dress up and act out one of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. Team Accomplishments 5 of ’84 nly as a team could we have accomplished all of these things. Together. Togetherness means helping each other. That help may be explaining a trig, problem to a friend. Or it may be showing an inexperienced teammate how to throw a pass. A new supporter for the team is Dr. Robert Mauro who became the principal at the beginning of the year. Work, sweat, sacrifice, and fun created a total package called spirit. Tom Summers explains, It is every senior class's unwritten duty to be more spirited and leave a larger impression than the previous class. Future graduating classes are going to need a nuclear missile to leave a bigger mark than the class of '84. Never has there been such an effort to make us Number One: Without a doubt, 1401 Trojans made it the year of the TOTAL TEAM!! Wayne Roth carefully works on one of his welding projects to improve his skill, as another student observes. Bruce Lance, a senior, proudly displays his pet [pbster. Bruce, along with his lobster, was one of the more casually dressed fans. Parkland fans vary in age. The Cheerleaders' mascot, Christine, 2, gets caught up in all the action. And the surrounding cheerleaders begin a chant to boost the team's morale. 6 Opening Thurston Nichols, Wrestling Co-Captain, puts his Emmaus opponent in an after-gramby hold. At the Bonfire, faculty members, Mrs. Pat Rader and Mr. Ralph Eckensberger display their school spirit. Walter Risley takes to the offensive boards and taps the ball out of his opponents' reach.

Spirit is attending Student Council President Diane Miller, senior, explains, I believe that the atmosphere here has changed for the better this year. We are closer together. other events. Like cooking pounds and pounds of spaghetti for the Key and Leo Clubs Spaghetti Dinner. Or like decorating the cafeteria for a victory dance. But Trojan Life is also Jenny Hublitz was one of the many students who participated in the Almost Anything Goes Competition. Seniors, Kristen Hullinger, Paula Spanich, Kim Clay and Betsy Smith were decked out for 'Punker Day' during spirit week. 8 Divider From To 10 Spirit 17 18 Team tryouts 21 22 Fall play 23 24 Musical 25 26 Club news 27 28 Clubs 29 30 Key and Leo clubs 31 32 Dance Marathon 33 34 Fun Nite 35 36 Seasons 37 38 Changes 39 40 Locker talk 41 42 Fads and fashions 43 44 News 45 46 Opinion 47 48 Prom 49 50 Graduation 51 Senior Scott Budline dressed in his punk attire to show his school spirit.

In the Drama Club’s performance of God's Favorite, senior Elizabeth Fuisz plays the character of Rose Benjamin. Life 9 r Student spirit booms Student Council set one week aside, and dedicated it to spirit. They felt Parkland lacked excitement and decided to change all that. During Spirit Week, students decked themselves in some of the wildest clothes to show their school spirit. The reason for Spirit Week was to psyche students for Homecoming. Clash day, crazy hat day, punk day, Hawaiian day, and school colors day highlighted the week. On clash day, students who wore plaid shirts and striped pants proudly walked the halls. Senior Lisa Carter said, I wanted to show my school spirit. Strange and unusual hats were worn on crazy hat day, November 8. The annual bonfire occurred on Wednesday night where the senior athletes were recognized. Mrs. Amy Mutis and Mr. John Durishin dressed up as cheerleaders, and Mrs. Roby Reitz, Mr. Ralph Eckensberger, and Mrs. Pat Rader dressed as football players to add to the excitement. The Anything Goes contest took place on Tuesday, where the faculty and students competed in many unusual activities. The faculty, though old and brittle, took first place, juniors second, sophomores third, and seniors fourth. Then it was Hawaiian day, and students wore grass skirts, and hawaiian printed shirts too (boys included). On the last day of Spirit Week PHS had their last football game of the season. Students dressed red and gray all the way. Getting his face in the pie, sophomore Tim Smith competes in one of the contests in the PAC sponsored Almost Anything Goes as senior Eric Haas looks on. 10 Student Life During Spirit Week, senior Tina Fritz participates in the dress-up days by wearing her elephant slippers and a hat to top it off. Spirit Week 11 Other than cheering at the football games, cheerleaders Darlene Stauffer. Colleen Stella, and Sandy Calore also cheer at the Bonfire held before Homecoming. The spirit of the football team is boosted by the support of the fans. PHS students love to cheer their Trojans to victory. 12 Student Life Halftime shows lift fans’spirits When the siren goes off, it's a signal to everyone that halftime is here. Cheerleaders rush to the refreshment stand, and fans scamper down from the bleachers. For most, it's a time to see the latecomers just piling in. A lot of people don't stop to think about a cheerleader's job. Junior Beth Kushner believes that her job is to promote school spirit and school involvement. She also said, I think we're doing the best we can, but it's up to the students to take on some responsibility. Halftime is a well-deserved break for the cheerleaders and especially the football players, but for the band it's a time to be noticed. All the hard work the band members put in during the week pays off. Mr. Alfred Reimschissel, the FHS band director said, The band is doing a good job, but like everything else, can be improved. The marching band and bandfront always get the crowd riled up at halftime, but it's the cheerleaders who bring out spirit during the game. Junior Shelley Grom, a cheerleader, stated, We try our best to get the crowd ’and the team psyched for the games. She then said, I guess it paid off; we had a pretty good season. Another halftime event that goes on only once a year is the club contest. It's held on Homecoming night and three lucky clubs gain some money. Previously the contest was between floats; this year it was posters. President of Student Council, Diane Miller, commented. Last year only two floats were entered out of all the clubs at PHS. The reason was because too much time and effort had to be put into the floats. The prize money was less than the actual money that was put into the floats. The poster idea was less time consuming and inexpensive. The National Honor Society received $25 for first place. Par Key received $15 for second place; and chorus won $10. The cheerleaders always have a banner across the goal posts for the football players to charge through at the start of the game. Mark Evans and Mike Joseph lead the Trojan charge. Halftime 13 Seniors crown double royalty Homecoming was more than the crowning of a queen this year; it was a time for new traditions. For the first time, PHS elected a Homecoming king and replaced the float contest with a poster contest. The crowning of the king occurred at the dance following the game. Seniors crowned Carl Jones as the 1983 Homecoming king. Homecoming is the most popular football game of the year, but this time the game ended on a sad note as the team lost to Easton. Despite the loss, the fans were there to boost Trojan spirit and add to the excitement. At halftime, the excitement was in full swing. The finalists for queen rode around in convertibles decorated with each finalist's name. As colorful balloons were launched, the 1982 queen Karen Marsteller crowned the 1983 queen Chris Goida. Another attraction was watching the Trojan mascot ride a horse; senior Tom Summers gave the crowd a few laughs and smiles as he rode around the track leading the parade of finalists. After the crowning, one of the convertibles stalled and the drivers helped push to get it started. Homecoming is also a time when many PHS graduates return to visit and senior football players and cheerleaders are recognized in the pre-game show. Chris said about winning Homecoming queen, I was never so happy in my life. I was 'high on life.' It was the greatest feeling to hear everyone yell my name. Senior Diane Miller stated, It was a nice change seeing a Vo-tech student win Homecoming queen, and watching Vo-tech get more involved this year. 14 Student Life ♦ 1 • Chris Goida. with her escort, senior Brett Silvius. rides proudly around the football field after being chosen 1963 queen.

Homecoming 15 Equal rights finally prevail Juniors were chosen for the first time in years for the position of drum major and women's lib stepped in and there was a drum majorette too. Jeff Micco and Jill Reinhard had the tough task of leading the band during halftime shows. But playing at halftime is not where the performance of the band and band front stops. The PHS band received the rating of excellent at two band competitions. They also performed in many parades throughout the year. Ann Toth, majorette, stated, 1 think the halftime show turned out well, everybody was dedicated and we all worked together to put on a great show. This sums up the efforts of the band and band front and how they worked their separate routines into a great halftime show. To put on an enjoyable show, the band, majorettes, silks, and rifles start practicing under the hot August sun from 8 to 12 everyday. Mr. Alfred Reimschissel, director, is in charge of organizing and instructing the 84 members of the marching band. A new coordinator for the drum section, Mr. Ronald Beyer, and a new silk advisor, Mrs. Susan Grant, were chosen to direct the band front. At the end of football season, the band front's job is over, but the concert and stage bands keep on going. With all the dedication and good leadership of this select group of students, PHS can truly be proud of the band. Jill Reinhard, drum majorette, said, The band and band front work for many days, starting mid-August to the end of the football season. Band members Tom Briggs, Paul Lu, Paul Demarest. Michele Stimpfl, and Lisa Martin perform at the opening of halltime. Junior Jell Micco. drum major, leads the band and band front during halltime. Jill Reinhard was drum majorette. 16 Student Life Band, Band Front 17 Students ache from tryouts Queasy stomachs, nervousness, and headaches—these are not symptoms of a virus going around school; they are the effects of tryouts. Students who try to make a team are bound to experience this type of sickness. After basketball practice, senior Cheryl Charles said, I was on the basketball team during tenth and eleventh grade, so I was pretty confident about making the team this year. It takes hours of practice and determination to succeed in anything from a sport to a career. There are students in Parkland who are willing to put themselves out, and practice the skills required constantly. Students spend hours upon hours practicing the skills needed for a particular sport. Fifty laps around the gym, or two hundred laps freestyle may sound like a lot to a person not wishing to be on a team. For a student determined to get involved in a certain sport, this excessive practicing is not a chore. Junior Kim Sullivan said, The coach makes the team practice a lot, but I really love swimming, so it doesn't bother me too much. There were students who felt that even if they didn't make the team, the risk, they took was worth the effort. Many students felt that the effort they put into practice will pay off for tryouts the following year. Since practice is held almost everyday, students get more discipline. Sophomore Eric Gerchman commented about football, Summer sessions almost killed me, but when I started playing IV it was worth it. Tryouts put a strain on students, but when they have made the team the whole painful experience pays off. 18 Student Life Senior Jane Lakatosh and sophomore Denise Miller jump hurdles and practice running for the track team in the school hallways. Mr. Tom Filipovits supervises senior Mike Joseph in lifting a dumbbell to keep him in shape for baseball season. Gloria Mitch and Michele Barton prepare to put the javelins away after a hard workout from track practice that day. Team Tryouts 19 20 Student Life Junior Kris Krumanocker, senior Elizabeth Fuisz, and sophomore Andrew Zeitlen try out for the fall play. God's Favorite. Seniors Neal Fetner, Alison Weidner, Scott Erdman and Brett Silvius are members of the National Merit Scholarship program for the 1983-84 term. More trying and suffering Sports aren't the only activities that make a person's palms begin to sweat. Actors and scholars feel the old familiar jitters. They're natural, so take heart. For instance, anyone who wants to be in the Spring Musical has to try out three times: in dancing, singing, and acting. It’s not just a one-talent act. Senior Val Davis said, The pressure is really only on for those who wish to audition for the leading roles; everyone who doesn't get the leading role becomes part of the play by being a dancer or helping out with the chorus. Junior Patty Risley said that when trying out for the lead, all one can really do, is her best. The real pressure is living up to what other people think you are capable of doing. Patty also said that she had first intended to go out for the lead in South Pacific but Mr. Durishin talked her into trying out for Bloody Mary, which she got. It was more challenging because I had to sing with an accent and she was such a dirty person. The National Merit Program seemed to be lighter on the pressure when it came to applying. The merit program has focused on identifying and honoring talented students who rank at the uppermost end of the academic ability scale. The annual competition is for all high school students who are U.S. citizens and who meet NMSC requirements. Juniors enter the program by taking the PSAT NMSQT test. Seniors Scott Erdman, Neal Fetner, Brett Silvius and Alison Weidner are the finalists for this year from PHS. Alison, who is on a National Merit Scholarship, received a $1000 award directly from the National Merit Program. Sharon Burger searches for Robin Hood with the help of the little girl.

Team Tryouts 21 Sidney Lipton (Tom Summers) jumps for joy because he was chosen to be the mediator between God and Joe Benjamin. Joe was chosen as God s Favorite person. Joe Benjamin (Jeff Fithian) talks to his oldest son David, played by Dave Levasseur. They are trying to patch their broken relationship. 22 Student Life Fall Play: a big favorite As the audience watched God's Favorite November 18 and 19, they thought it was a superior drama club production. What they were not watching was a new sound system and a new stage manager. The new sound system was presented by the Heintzelman family in memory of Dr. George Heintzelman. Mrs. Nancy Carthew, director, stated the new stage manager was Glenn Gerchman, a former PHS student stage manager. Mrs. Carthew felt the students did an admirable job and they worked well together. Also there was an overabundance of talent. Some students portrayed people older than themselves, but Mrs. Carthew stated everyone did a good job. The play was about Joe Benjamin, played by Jeff Fifthian, and how he was chosen as God's Favorite person. He encountered many obstacles to test his faith. First, his house and company burned down; then his family left him. After all this happened Joe still did not renounce God. At the end of the play, things turned around and his family came back. The cast included Rose Benjamin (Elizabeth Fuisz), Ben Benjamin (Andrew Zeitlin), Sarah Benjamin (Kristen Krumanocker), David Benjamin (Dave Levasseur), Sidney Lipton-God's messenger (Tom Summers), Mady the maid (Paula Spannich), and Morris the servant (Brian McDermott). Castmate Andrew Zeitlin said he was happy he got the role because he was one of the few sophomores that made it. Drama Play 23 Since their house burned down, Rose (Elizabeth Fuisz). Ben (Andrew Zeitlin). and Sarah (Knsten Krumanocker) become accustomed to the cold weather. While testing Joe Benjamin's faith, God makes him itch. So, Joe has the impossible task of reaching his back to relieve the itching. Pacific winds warm audience Gently rolling waves, warm breezes, and a sandy beach. This setting was created when the Spring Musical, “South Pacific” was performed. Junior Cathy Julo played the leading role of Nellie Forbush, the head nurse on a tiny island in the South Pacific. Emile(Steve Strecansky) a French exile falls in love with Nellie. A humorous part of the musical was when Bloody Mary (Patty Risley), an island native tries to con the sailors into buying worthless items from her. Senior Tom Bono dedicated many long hours to the building of the major prop, an airplane bomber. The bomber added realism to the first scene. Junior Scott Bartman painted Senior Tim Kurtz makes a face while senior Eric Haas and junior Lew Kiefer talk to him during a humorous scene in the play. Junior Patty Risley (Bloody Mary) attempts to sell the sailors trinkets to bring home as gifts to their girlfriends. his stomach with a ship; during the musical he danced and moved the ship. He stated, “At first it was embarrassing, but I think it added to the excitement.” The play was under the direction of Mr. John Durishin, with the help of student director, junior Carolann Oswald. Mrs. Pat Rader was choreographer and Mr. David Diehl was musical director. Glenn Gerchman, an '83 PHS graduate, was stage manager. Since he had been student stage manager during his senior year, he felt very comfortable with the task. Junior Tracey Amey commented on the superior performance, “I was amnzed at how the students could perform at such a high level of acting.” Emile, portrayed by sophomore Steve Strecansky and his two children are introduced to Cathy Julo (Nellie) by Ty Kontier, who takes care of the children. Junior Scott Bartman(Waters), senior Mark Reed(Luther Bills) and, junior Cathy Julo(Nellie) enact the finale of the Thanksgiving Follies. 24 Student Life Clubs enliven old activities What do the Special Olympics, Almost Anything Goes, Spaghetti Dinner, Dance and Volleyball Marathons have in common? Lots of hard work by clubs who spend hours and hours preparing so that the student body may enjoy these events. The Key Club, for instance, started out a busy year by holding its annual all you can eat Spaghetti Dinner. Later, they fed the community again at a Pancake Breakfast, and then helped organize the Winter and Spring Special Olympics. Mr. John Ritter advised the club. Seniors Sherri Mills was president, Brett Silvius was vice-pres. Leo Club also helped out at the Special Olympics. Then they sponsored a Valentine's Day Party for the blind. Both Key and Leo combined their efforts in hosting the annual Dance Marathon. Wally Kuhns, president, Kris Breininger, vice-president, and Mr. Scott Bowers, advisor, ran the club. National Honor Society's major event of the year was sponsoring the Volleyball Marathon. Each class competed against each other in the Parkland Athletic Club's Almost Anything Goes. Members of the classes competed in various events for a night of fun and athletics. Two honorary organizations which include students with special interests, are the Quill and Scroll and International Thespian Society. Quill and Scroll recognizes students on publication staffs. ITS members must devote 100 hours to the production of plays. The Trumpet staff publishes the bi-monthly school newspaper. Miss. Audrey Mathison advises the Trumpet, along with Quill and Scroll. Co-editor of Par-Key, senior Sarah Makoul, works on drawing up a layout. This is just one of the many jobs that an editor must do. 26 Student Life At the student exchange with Northhampton and Emmaus, sophomores Trish Falcone. Missy Dille and junior Kris Siessmayer work in a communications drill. Senior Jeff Alicea, editor of Trumpet, fulfills his duties by interviewing Smurfs for an upcoming issue of the newspaper. W P? NHS saves the children The National Honor Society sponored the biggest Volleyball Marathon in the school's history as 18 teams participated. The Yellow T-Shirts, which consisted of the boy's basketball team, finished undefeated. The proceeds went to benefit Save the Children. They have also revived the old tutorial system. Many students have received help from tutors in many subjects. Another club which is getting more involved is the German Club. Members sold advent calendars, candy and hoagies. President Ann Toth stated, Our goal is to travel to Germany and hopefully we'll be able to go. Meanwhile, Drama Club put on the Fall Play, and the Children's Play. They also sold carnations and hoagies. Another skill-oriented club is the outstanding Chess Club. At the end of the season the record was 7-3-1. Junior Marc Levitt, Wayne Coffin and Jay Newhard were the top players in the individual tournament. Parkland Athletic Club consisted of 35 athletic and non-athletic students interested in raising money for sports equipment and having fun. In October PAC sponsored Almost Anything Goes which pitted each class against each other and the faculty. A new club to add to PHS's list is the Dance Club. Mrs. Pat Rader is the advisor of the club. Over 30 girls belong to the club that began earlier of overwhelming response from students. These are just a few of the many clubs that PHS has to offer students. Seniors Steve James, Scott Amey on the B.A.'s Boozers team and Bill Hess, Bret Simock on the Brew Crew team participate in the Volleyball Marathon. 28 Student Life Junior Jay Newhard, one of the top three players, carefully plans his strategy against his opponent at a chess meet. Senior Lisa Carter works out with the Dance Club every Monday and Wednesday after school. The Dance Club is a newcomer. Clubs 29 “Huggers senior Lisa Peischl and junior Kris Breininger, enjoy their time at the Winter Special Olympics. Both girls assisted athletes in skiing. Key Club held a spaghetti dinner that many students attended. Key members Tammy Richelderfer, Patty Risley and Debbie Wagner help out with the dinner. 30 Student Life Key, Leo set the pace Two clubs which Valentine's Party for the seemed to be blind Feb. 10. Leos everywhere this year were entertained and provided the Key and Leo clubs. refreshments. Members involved themselves in many activities, such as helping at the Haunted House, Bingo Night, Special Olympics and the Dance Marathon. Key Club started out by working in the Haunted House to benefit the March of Dimes. Once a month the Key members helped out at the Phoebe-Devitt Home. Junior Jenny Brelsford stated, It was worth my time and very rewarding. An activity popular to the students and others was the traditional spaghetti dinner. The students prepared and served the dinner. A Pancake Breakfast was also held. Leo Club hosted a Both clubs also worked together in projects. At the Winter Special Olympics at Jack Frost, both clubs hugged or aided the athletes during skiing. Key president, Sherri Mills, stated, The greatest experience is being a hugger and seeing the joy your athlete experiences. March 16 and 17 was the weekend when many PHS students danced around the clock raising money for a needy cause. Both clubs helped in the Spring Special Olympics also. Again the clubs hugged the athletes. Being a member of the Leo or Key Club requires a lot of devotion and care for other people. The Key Club sponsored Pancake Breakfast finds Tom Buss busy mixing the batter. Many students as well as their families attended the breakfast. Leo senior Lisa Peischl and her friends put up the Leos' Homecoming banner and hope to win the banner contest. Key Leo Club 31 Key Club President Sherri Mills, slowdances with Leo Club President Wally Kuhns during the Dance Marathon, held in the gym. Students dressed comfortably for the twenty five hours of dancing that was required of them at the Marathon. 32 Student Life Dancers beat diabetes ' 'TJ eat it was the theme -D of the Dance Marathon and Parkland followed that theme all the way. The helped beat diabetes by raising $2,500, thanks to a $20 minimum pledge from each dancer. The Marathon started Friday night and went until Saturday night, for a total of 25 hours. Seventy students participated and only five people dropped out. One participant, junior Trish Talianek stated, The night and early morning hours were the best part of the marathon, thanks to special friends that I'll never forget.” Students decorated the gym with streamers, balloons, pictures, and with a paper brick wall. On the paper brick wall students could sign their names. Every hour people popped a balloon. There were only 10 minute breaks per hour where students could revive themselves and eat or drink the food supplied by the local businesses. The Key and Leo Clubs brought the food. To add to the popularity of the event, a t-shirt contest was held. Junior Chris Renaud won the contest; his winning t-shirt had a break-dancer on it. After the Marathon ended, the dancers were relieved and glad that they helped a good cause. Key Club President Sherri Mills said The school participation wasn't as good as in the last two years, but the objective was reached. Hopefully, next year there will be a better turnout because there will be another goal to reach and an additional good cause to raise money for. Juniors Michels Cowling and Mike Johnson take a break from fast dancing to slow dance during the tiresome hours of the Dance Marathon. V Dance Marathon 33 Junior Gianni Ciciliot puts a move on junior Rich Homa during one of the pro-wrestling matches , sponsored by PAC. Even the younger Parkland students participated in Fun Nite. This event didn't only benefit high school students. 34 Student Life Students go for the gold Did you ever wonder what Olympic stars were feeling as they skied down the slalom? Or how they felt when they threw the discus? On March 31st Olympic Fever caught on at Parkland. Student Council organized Fun Nite after deciding on the Olympics as the theme. All clubs in the school benefited from this fundraiser. Many students started Fun Nite by participating in Par Key's Super Silly Slalom. Then they wanted to see how their week would be and went to the Spring Musical's stand, biorhythms. Many can't go without food so they went to the cafeteria. Hot dogs, funnel cakes, snow cones, and soda are just a few of the snacks that were served by various clubs. Sophomore Kris Thirion said 1 thought it was fun working at the snow cone stand for Fun Nite. Even though it got a bit 'sticky' at times, 1 think I'd probably do it again next year. Many students went to see PAC's wrestling. There were three shows in which students could see fellow students wrestle. This stand added to the theme because wrestling is a popular sport at the summer Olympics. The cheerleaders fish stand sold out by 9:00 p.m. which proved Fun Nite had a bigger crowd than last year, 1800 people attended. The top three booths at Fun Nite won prizes from Student Council. They were, first place, Chorus—dime toss; second place, Quill and Scroll—Daffy Duck Discus Toss; third place. Spring Musical's—biorhythms. Fun Nite was a big hit. The major contributor to the success was the $5,700 raised. Junior Cindy Ruth paints tattoos on one of the many children customers at Fun Nite. Proceeds went to benefit NHS. Seniors Cheryl Charles and Paul Termini work at the Horse Race booth. This stand was run by National Honor Society. Fun Nite 35 Four Seasons Hot, sunny, humid summer days . . . cold, windy winter nights. Which appeal to you? Maybe you love the idea of no school in the summer or bundling up in layers of clothing in the winter. Some people, on the other hand, prefer the more comfortable seasons of fall and spring. Junior Sue DeCenzo likes summer, It's my favorite season because you can go on vacations and it's warm and there's no school.'' Senior Val Davis said, Spring is the perfect weather season; summer gets really hot, though it's the best season as far as vacations.'' Junior Cindy Kranch's favorite season is winter, I like winter because there are so many different things you can do such as skiing, ice skating, snow-mobiling, etc., even though it is cold. Scott Weigel, junior, stated, I like fall because all the leaves on the trees are changing colors and also the football and soccer seasons begin. Also school begins and you can see your friends you haven't seen over the summer. Sophomore Liz Sarachek stated, Summer is the best season, The tension of school is off and you can relax and have a good time. Overall, most students prefer the vacation time and fun activities that are found in summer. V Practicing for the summer fun, senior Kevin Mayer receives a push from senior Joe Armbruster and junior Jamie Wasson. Sophomores Tim Smith, Geoff Spitko, Kevin Oldt and Chns Zeiger walk through the hallways, chatting about life. 36 Student Life Who says that school isn't any fun? Even in the winter cold, juniors Cathy Julo, Erin Melhom, Kim Sullivan and senior Jay Muliken have a good time. A sure sign of spring is rainy Mondays. Senior Kim Hall, prepared for the wet weather, dodges raindrops on her way home. y Seasons 37 To fill day, 'Lettuce' Eat! On an ordinary day, you will find teachers in their faculty room during their free periods. Now, the faculty has found activities to make their prep period more fulfilling. Teachers from every corner of the school came out from behind their desks and joined in on festive lunches. The lunches ranged from antipasto to chili to a buffet style lunch. The antipasto was set up so professionally, Mr. John Miksits, English teacher stated. Mrs. Pat Rader, another English teacher, is basically in charge of everything. She said, I enjoy cooking, so I don't mind doing it. When they have a buffet lunch, other teachers will pitch in and bring some food in too. Mrs. Rader also said that on St. Patrick's day, their lunch consisted of corned beef and cabbage, which is a tradition. Miss Audrey Mathison said, Soon we'll even have popcorn! Another special day was when Mrs. Brenda George, English teacher, brought her new baby girl, Vanessa, in during the faculty lunch to visit. Even though Vanessa wasn't aware of the delicious food that was prepared, the lunch was a success. Tidbits 38 Student Life Maura brings spirit to PHS Dr. Robert D. Mauro was chosen from over 100 applicants to replace resigning principal, Mr. Donald J. Hershey. Dr. Mauro feels that being a principal is very demanding but still enjoyable. He was previously an assistant principal of Middlesex High School in New Jersey. He also commented, “The conduct of the students is excellent. If it wasn't we wouldn't be able to have had a spirit week and do all of the other different activities. Dr. Mauro has initiated some change into the school's operation. For the first time we have had a spirit week and there are also more assemblies this school year. Dr. Mauro has also requested that students who have suggestions or complaints to voice them. He is usually found in the classrooms, roaming the halls, or talking with the students. Senior Diane Miller, president of Student Council, commented, Lunch with Dr. Mauro was really fun and interesting. I discussed Student Council ideas with him, and he was interested in what the students are up to. Dr. Mauro listens with interest as Student Council members discuss new ideas. Mrs. George holds her new baby girl, Vanessa, at a lunch gathering the faculty has every few weeks. Mr. Gus Pappas sits in the in-school detention office at a moment when the room is unoccupied. This room sometimes serves for disciplinary action instead of out of school suspension. ISD works The only student in the room has slaved over his books for most of the day. For five hours, he has felt trapped in the same room. Although he is very tired, he is more concerned about his appetite. This student forgot to bring his own lunch and cannot eat the cafeteria lunch because of in-school detention (ISD). ISD is a new discipline program this year. When ISD is given, a student is assigned to the ISD room for one school day. While there, the student must complete the work he or she will be missing in class that day. A student may only leave the room twice a day for lavatory purposes. Mr. Ernie Eckert. Math teacher, smiles proudly as he thinks of the many fond memories he had spent at Parkland. Eckert retires Mr. Ernie Eckert walked up to the upper library expecting to see other math teachers waiting for a meeting to start. Instead he saw all his co-workers yelling surprise'' when he walked through the double doors. Mrs. Rosanne Heckman, who is department chairman, and Mr. Anderson were in charge of Mr. Eckert's retirement party held January 26. The activities included the welcoming ceremony and the presentation of gifts. Mr. Anderson said, Mr. Eckert was very pleased and very happy. Mr. Eckert has worked at Parkland High school for 25 years. In the future, he plans to devote his full time to his financial counseling business. Mr. Eckert stated, I have so many fond memories at PHS that I couldn’t begin to mention any. A bit of foreign pizzaz! Once again, PHS felt the influence of Foreign Flair. Exchange students weren't the only ones who attended PHS this year; a few other students came on their own. Raymond DelRossario (Phillipines), Tim Sannes (Sweden), Silke Bleul (Germany), and Maria Delourdes (Mexico) (not pictured) found out that coming to a new country is a real challenge. Raymond, a Rotary Club exchange student has enjoyed his visit. The weather is nice and so are the girls! he said. Silke is living with her cousins and she hopes that she'll be able to stay for a few years. Being here is great because you learn a lot about yourself. I think everybody should try it! Tim, an exchange student with the Educational Foundation for Foreign Study Club said he had a great time. Tim, like Raymond is only here for one school year. It's a challenge to meet new people and to learn a new language. Raymond DelRossario, Tim Sannes and Silke Bleul are the exchange students who got a chance to experience PHS's life. Changes 39 Do lockers talk at PHS? I'm nicer-looking than you are, at least I'm decorated with pictures and stickers. “Well at least I'm clean and I don't have tape stuck all over me. Does this sound like a typical Parkland conversation? Well it's not, it's Locker Talk. At PHS lockers say something about the person who occupies them, especially the person who decorates their locker. Lori Mahler said the reason she decorates is to personalize my locker and overcome the dullness in the school. Wendy Kush stated, It brightens up my day. While Patty Risley said “It's part of my personality and it's nice to look at. Whatever the reason, students put lots of paraphernalia in their lockers Junior Tami Nasley takes her coat out of her locker. She is one of the many people throughout the school who personalizes her locker by decorating it. such as stickers, posters, pictures of good-looking men or women, and boyfriends, girlfriends. Debbie Coblentz said the reason she put pictures of her boyfriend in her locker is to remind me of who I could be with instead of being in school. Every Friday during football season cheerleaders decorate players lockers with balloons, banners and streamers. Football player lim Krumanocker puts the decorations inside his locker from the previous week. He said, It gives me something to look back on and it looks great. Football player Tim Schwartz also decorates his locker on the inside with Tom Petty. He said, It's not as dull with Tom Petty. Evidently, lockers not only display decorations, they also reveal students' personalities, along with their decorative talents. Senior Lori Miller waits for senior Lisa Sagan at her locker. Lori personalizes her locker by putting pictures of men in it. 40 Student Life Senior Bob Price slops at his locker to get some books. He decorates his locker with skiing pictures and with signs. Juniors Claudine La tour and Renee Pieroni stand beside their lockers and talk. Lockers also serve as good places for conversation. Locker Talk 41 While reading a magazine, junior Wendy Frankenfield models her low boots and a checkered flannel dress, some of the latest fashions. 42 Student Life Hit movie creates flash The hit movie Flashdance influenced some wardrobes here at Parkland. The cut sweatshirt and white sneakers are just some of the fashions which arose from the movie's success and popularity. Sophomore Marci Karess said, I really like the Flashdance look because it's comfortable to wear. Even though some preppy is old, some styles are nice. Also, the punk look is starting to take its toll, colored earrings, lumberjack shirts and pants tucked in low boots are becoming stylish this year. The old preppy look which has been popular for a few years is now starting to fade out. But, students have adopted a new preppy look instead. Argyle was one of the most popular patterns for guys and girls. Junior Claudine Latour said, “Argyle is colorful, it matches almost all clothes.” Vests have edged their way into wardrobes; students find them very atrractive to wear day after day over an oxford shirt. One of the latest fads is the Michael Jackson craze. Girls all over the country have become obsessed with this talented young singer. At the end of January, Jackson was filming a commercial and his hair caught on fire. Michael now has a palm size bald spot on the back of his head. This threw some of his fans into a frenzy. Junior Shana Ovitz said, “He's a fantastic singer and there is no one else who can move quite the way he does. Who knows what next year's fashions will be, but whatever the they are PHS students will definitely show it. J Senior Chris Fluck attracts the Other fashions this year are attention of his peers while he polka dots and geometric shapes, breakdances at one of Parkland's junior Cathy Julo's purse represents dances. this. Fads And Fashions 43 World Events Muddy Paula Ziegler drinks water from the coolers temporarily provided by the administration while the problem of contaminated water cleared up. water Many students walking through the halls saw Caution do not drink water signs taped to water fountains. Of course this has caused some alarm. According to bacteriological tests, the water was drinkable, but bottled water was used until the brownish coloration disappeared. Superintendent, Carmen Riola said in The Morning Call the water was 98% clear. He also said the water became discolored by iron which the water runs over. The district plans to install sand filters in the well system, which will prevent this from occuring. The estimated cost is $4,000 to $5,000. Olympic Gold Sarajevo, Yugoslavia was the scene for the 1984 XIV Winter Olympics. There was chaos in Beirut and Yuri Andropov died in Moscow, but the participants and viewers were oblivious to such happenings. Despite the four-day blizzard with 80-mph winds, the Olympics still proceeded without much difficulty. The U.S. team was expected to be represented by its strongest Winter Olympics team ever, but it didn't receive a medal of any kind until Kitty and Peter Carruthers won the silver in pairs figure skating. The following day, Debbie Armstrong brought the gold home in the giant slalom. Teammates Christin Cooper and Tamara McKinney finished second and fourth, respectively. That pretty well took the pain away for the U.S. team after finding out that their Hockey team lost both to Canada and Czechoslovakia and could but tie Norway. And then there was Bill Johnson, a newcomer to being a ski-racing star. He was the first American to win a gold in the downhill course. Phil and his twin Steve can now be told apart because Phil wears the gold and Steve the silver from the slalom race. Junior Leanne Hirsch said, During the Winter Olympics I was stuck home sick, so they put a lot of variety into my t.v. viewing. No short stuff In the spring, students didn't wear tank tops, tube tops or short shorts when the warm weather approached. Instead they wore bermuda shirts and mini skirts. These restrictions are listed in the new dress code that was approved by Dr. Mauro. In previous years students were advised to wear things that were not revealing and were asked to use their own discretion. Now the dress code is more specific. Sweat pants are allowed but spaghetti strap shirts are not. Junior Shari Boberski said T like the dress code because mini skirts are allowed, but gym shorts should be allowed also.” Junior Cindy Kranch stated I feel shorts should be allowed because the school gets really hot and students could work better if they are cooler. Even though the school dress code is specific, it gives students the opportunity to dress a little more coolly for the summer months. According to the new dress code students won't be allowed to wear gym shorts such as the ones that seniors Jenny Hublitz and Betsy Smith have on. 44 Student Life Byte by byte Just about everyone has come in contact with computers; and it seems by the year 2000 it will be just as necessary to be able to operate a computer as it is to use a telephone. The computer age has definitely hit PHS. In April, six Apple 1 le computers were installed in the lower library. The idea is to give students a chance to work with computers outside the classroom. The popularity of computers shows that students realize how important they are. Junior Tom Willcox runs a program on one of the new Apple computers in the lower library. Tragic flight The disaster of South Korean Flight 007 that had been shot down by the Soviets shocked the world for weeks following. The passenger jet, bound for Seoul, left from Achorage, Alaska at 10 a.m. on an early September morning. The trip itself was uneventful until 2:12 p.m. Soviet radar had been tracking the jumbo jet because it was customary to track aircrafts flying within Soviet boundaries. Soon after, Korean radar lost track of the plane; it was just presumed to be off course. Later, the tragic news was to be revealed. A Soviet fighter pilot had shot down the Korean airliner. Families, and friends mourned the deaths of the 269 persons aboard the plane. President Reagan referred to the act as barbaric and commented that the Soviets must not value human life. The only explanation the Soviets offered was that an unidentified plane had violated stated borders. Meetings were called to discuss the situation. In South Korea, thousands marched in protest of the vicious attack. Events of’83 Most of us look forward to the upcoming year by remembering the events of the past year. Looking back on the 83-84 school year, we'll remember the tragic news and the entertaining news. Dorney Park was struck by fire in October. The fire destroyed an 85-year-old carousel and the Sea Dragon. It took millions to restore the damaged area of the park, but the park opened for its '84 season in April. James Watt, former Secretary of the Interior, quit his position, and then was called back. He later resigned Nov. 9. William Clark took over his position. Overseas, the news pertaining to the US was tragic: 160 American Marines died in Lebanon October 23. Fierce fighting caused many casualties throughout Lebanon. Eight more Marines were killed December 4 in a barrage in the Beirut compound. In sports, the Eagles lost to the Cardinals in the season's final game 31-7. They finished with a disappointing 5-11 record. The Los Angeles Raiders triumphed over the Washington Redskins in the Super Bowl, 38-9. Perhaps the most exciting form of entertainment was the music business. Singer Michael Jackson grossed over $25 million in sales on his album, Thriller. The album sold more copies than any other in history. Jackson also set a new trend in video music by producing a 14 minute video. Terms of Endearment topped the movie list by winning five Academy awards. In the news News weatherman Jim O'Brien died this past year in a parachuting accident. As O'Brien was plunging to the ground, his parachute failed to open. People will remember him for many years because of his flair for telecasting. One month later, anchorwoman Jessica Savitch was fatally injured in a car accident She was the first anchorwoman on national TV and won many awards for her performances. Though she was faced with death at such a young age, she will not be forgotten. News 45 In our opinion The in school detention was outrageously boring for me. I hope that 1 will never have to experience the detention again. The discipline in that place is not too great either. Junior Gina Taglioli I don't feel that the in school detention disciplines students very well. I think the whole detention idea is a real joke. I hope I don't have to be in there again. Senior Robert Motolese “I did more work in the detention than I do at home. I really miss the good old days; when you did something wrong you could go home and mess around. Junior Susan Lucas It's the first time I caught up on my homework, and a lot of sleep. Being in detention is like being in jail. It’s a very poor way of discipline and a real waste of time. Senior Danny Meckes In touch with TV ads '' We'll return after these messages. How often have you been watching a program and a commercial comes on. But really, what would people do without commercials? Junior Scott Bartman said, My favorite commercial is the Converse commercial with Dr. J because I admire Julius Erving for his athletic ability and acting talent as well. Favorites .. .

Think of all the commercials you know already. Will Where's the beef ever be forgotten? Or how about the Dr. Pepper commercial; people can't help but to remember a scene where a man runs around the streets singing. Chemistry teacher Sally Longenberger commented, I like the original Where's the beef. The little old lady is just darling. The motto is a universal phrase in that it speaks to the mediocrity present in all phases of society. Junior Shannon Hayes said, I like the Pepsi commercial with the E.T. theme.

However, his music has gone trough a lot of changes over the past few years, and it has all been for the better. The originality and intenseness of his videos is just fantastic and I enjoy watching them. Senior Kerrie McCarthy I think he is a good singer and 1 enjoy his videos on MTV. 1 really like his songs and dancing, my favorite video is 'Beat it.' I hear people talk about him every day in school; he is played too much on the radio, but he must have done something right; look at all the money he's making. Junior Ben Grossman and we don’t When Michael Jackson made his reappearance, I liked him pretty much, but now all his music seems to sound the same. Also, I think he is definitely overplayed on the radio, so I am sick of him. Jackson is an okay singer, but I wouldn't rave about him like other people do. Sophomore Mark Reiner Michael Jackson is a good dancer, but I really don't like that kind of music. I hear Jackson's music on the radio all the time, so 1 got tired of it pretty fast. Also everone is always idolizing him and there is so much talk about him, so that's also why I'm sick of him.

The cost of the accommodations for one couple was $40 which also included the guest appearance of Magnum. The decorations for the prom included flowers as centerpieces with gray and blue balloons attached, symbolizing heaven and the sky. As couples entered into the lodge they passed through a covered bridge decorated with flowers. The prom favors were canisters filled with dinner mints for .. the girls and goblets for the boys. The junior girls, who were escorted by their dates. promenaded on the dance floor. The chaperones' dates were the judges for the picking of the 1984 prom court. Chris Pany, who was escorted by Peter Julo, was chosen for the queen and her court consisted of Cathy Julo, Carolann Oswald, Kelly King, Jodi Kemmerer, Kim Sullivan and their escorts. Junior Class President Shelly Farrell commented about how smoothly the prom went this year. She also said that the prom looked great and everything worked out well. She then went on to say, “Every class tries to outdo the prom the year before. For our class, it was a tough job to follow up. Senior Janice Stephens recalled the prom as being the best prom she had ever attended. Junior Erin Melhorn said, “The prom night is great when you spend it with that extra special someone.

Smith of St. Joseph's Catholic Church, Orefield gave the benediction. Principal Robert D. Mauro presented the class and Henry J. Gemerd, vice president of the school board, awarded diplomas. As the graduates watched fellow students receive their diplomas, they thought back to their high school years and all the hard work and great times. As they shouted the gleeful Trojan war whoops and threw their mortarboards they thought the past years weren't so bad after all. Senior Dave Levasseur, the student speaker, stands at the lectum decorated with Lisa Sussman's batik and gives a farewell speech to his peers. Senior band members Jim Daddio, Scott Williams, and David Lamm perform together as members of the Trojan Band for the last time.

Dave Levasseur, captain of the debate team and student speaker for the graduation ceremony, reminded the graduates that we're still young. It's our time to have fun—to take chances on our way to reaching the dream. Let's not forget the dream that waits for us outside those doors.

When the coach says, 'Ok, two suicides' you really hate him her, but once you are done you realize that in the end it will benefit you and the team, said senior Sue Fink. Sports is sacrifice. It is enduring pain, so you are able to play when your team needs you. Sue DeCenzo said, Running is everything to me. Even though I have stress fractures I won't stop. Sports is spirit! It is screaming at the top of your lungs to give your team the extra boost needed to win. Seniors Steve Gadomski and Scott Shellhamer agreed, It makes going to the game a lot more fun. If the players hear us, they know there is support behind them, whether they win or lose. Sprinter Renee Shear stretches before the start of track practice, March 1.

Sports 53 Average season Soph seeded with top duo Because of the construction crew working on half of their courts, the Trojanettes practiced at Lehigh County Community College and Vantage Point Racquetball Club. I really don't think that playing on different courts affected our overall performance. It was just a hassle, because there wasn't enough time to practice, said sophomore Christy Salvaggio. The team was semi successful in their efforts, posting a 7-6 record. The 24-member team played much of the season with a disadvantage because of the many injuries. The top three girls, Rachel Farber, Val Davis, and Christy Salvaggio, all were at one time injured. But the talent of the other girls carried the team through the rough times. 1 think the injuries really affected our record because we lost the girls for most of the season. They should have had the chance to play. It was bad that they were injured, but it gave some of the others a chance to gain some experience playing the top girls from the opposing team, said Amy Ziegler. The team started the season with a win over Saucon Valley 7-0 but lost their second match to Stroudsburg. The team's best match was against Central. Davis and sophomore Salvaggio both came through with singles victories. In doubles, Tama Stein and partner Salvaggio and a sophomore duo, Ziegler and Michelle Davies, were both successful. As the result of the strong showing, the team beat Central 4-3. Senior Rachel Farber said, The girl 1 played eventually went on to States. Although I did lose, it was one of my best matches. The team placed fifth overall. Senior Davis said, Although there were only three senior players, the young players showed . . . potential. Senior Rachel Farber successfully returns the serve of her Central opponent. Farber was cocaptain this year and has played for Parkland three years. With a strong left arm, junior Tama Stein aggressively serves the ball to her Emmaus opponent. Tama continues to be a strong player.

Since other schools had girls teams, PHS girls petitioned for and got a team of their own. Although the girls had trouble with most teams, Emmaus was the toughest. Their best meet was against Freedom. Parkland just squeezed by to win by one point. Joy Andrews said, Renee Shear did not run that meet and one of our team emerges girls let some of the other girls pass her. This year was a tough year for the girls. They had to forfeit five games because of injuries. Meantime, the boys tangled with a lot of tough teams this year. Bob Jones said, Easton and Phillipsburg were the hardest due to good runners.'' The Phillipsburg and Parkland meet was the boys’ best meet. Even though they lost, they gave Phillipsburg a run for their money. Bob Jones placed fourth in districts and 38th in the State meet. Coach Carmen Haglegans said, The teams did as well as they could, considering a small number of members and injuries. Some people think cross country is a piece of cake but little do they know that the cross country team runs 6 to 8 miles a day. They also do sprints to develop quickness.

Cross Country 57 Consistent effort Team earns third in league The golf team finished in third place this year through consistent team effort. Despite the dropping of the team statistics, the individual stats improved greatly. Mr. Douglas Lindenmuth's coaching experience contributed to the improvement of the team's record this year from 9-7 to 11-5. The worst game was against Freedom and Liberty with a score of 417. At Allen and Central, their best game was played with a score of 383. Senior Steve Gadomski said, The stiff competition, especially Emmaus, proved challenging to all the team members. Senior Bret Simock also stated, We went into our matches too over-confident and that was the reason for some of our losses.

Coach Lindenmuth stated that his players did not improve to their full potential from last year to really challenge for the league crown. “All in ail, a productive season with an 11-5 record was completed and well enough to finish in third place. It was my pleasure to have the caliber of boys that 1 had this year and I am very proud of them.

Senior Scott Reichard Golf 59 Futile efforts Inconsistency dampens spirits Inconsistency plagued the girls field hockey team and dampened spirits resulting in an average record for the Trojanettes. The girls, coached by Miss Pat Barr, started the season by winning against Northampton. But their loss against Easton set the mood for the rest of the season as Parkland lost two consecutive games to their hardest competition, Allen and Emmaus. Several members felt that the second time they played Allen was by far their best game. Senior Delanie Tirpak commented, Everyone was psyched and played hard. The offense came through when they were needed, and the defense never backed off. The team as a whole worked hard and proved to the Canaries that Parkland was no second rate team. And Junior Kim Miller said, It was great because we knocked them out of first place. Although the girls psyched themselves for every game, sometimes the team just did not click. Nikki Romanchik, senior, said, “After losing most of the starting players last year, I think this year's team could have done better but the inexperience was a major setback in completing a successful season. This inexperience, and other inter-team problems, caused the inconsistency. One of the referees commented on our unity and playing ability after the Northampton game. They had reffed for us before and could not believe the difference, said senior Diane Miller. Several of the talented Trojanettes such as Nikki Romanchik were selected for the first string All-Star team. Cheryl Charles, Delanie Tirpak, and Kim Caton were chosen for the second string.

Record wins Team beats early handicaps With only six returning seniors and no field of their own to play on, the soccer team had a tough time at the start. The team had to play on the field at Wehr's Dam Recreational Park. As of the sixth game. Parkland had only one win under its belt. That was the first time they challenged Easton. Early in the second quarter, Tim Cullen took a cross from Shawn Brophy. He directed the ball into the back of the net giving Parkland a 1-0 halftime lead. The Trojans went up to a 2-0 lead on an undirected kick 25 yards away from the goal. Tim Cullen pushed the ball square to Chris Coyle. Coyle rifled a left-footed shot into the upper comer of the net. The Trojans tallied once more on a Shawn Brophy goal and recorded their first win and George Panas recorded his first shut-out of the season. Two games later, the booters played Dieruff. Parkland upset the Huskies 6-1. The season seemed to be shaping up at last. By the end of the season, the team had earned a respectable record. Senior Dan Brandeis said, This was the best year Parkland has ever had. The year turned out to be the team's first winning season. One of the most spirited players was senior Mike Schaefer. He stated, I just try to gain the morale of the team. I enjoy it! Junior Tim Cullen thinks this year's team played better as a whole. We didn't depend on any one person. Last year we depended a lot on Fred Fox. This year we didn't, we worked better as a team. Coach Dennis Krumanocker has retired after nine years.

Missy Dille and Liz Dewilde were major defense forces on the JV team. JV goalie Liz Dewilde occasionally played varsity. Tammy Frantz thought that the game against Northampton was by far the best game. She said, We came back in the last few seconds to win. Dieruff also proved to be a tough competitor. Missy said, We worked together as a team, and we did not before. The team had a tough season, mostly due to inexperience. Miss Jill Buehler, the new coach said, Some individuals on the JV team will be able to fill in the gaps on varsity which result from the seniors leaving. This year was not a good season for JV soccer. The best game was against Liberty. Steven Cwitkowitz said, “They were undefeated going into the game and we tied it, so it was like a win to us. Another big game was against Freedom. Seth Forgosh said, They were the best team in the league and we beat them. Becahi, the game which was played in the rain, also proved to be a exciting match. Dave Ufberg stated, It was an awesome game. The two best players were Kyle Brophy and Dave Ufberg. Mr. Dave Schafer coached the team.

Although the Trojans lost the first game to Stroudsburg 7 18, they guickly came back to beat Quakertown. Dieruff tied the Trojans because of a questionable referee decision. “We know in our hearts that we won, but there's nothing we can do to change the final score,” said senior Brian Ohl. Mike Joseph, senior quarterback, said, “Liberty was the most exciting game because we scored easily. We thought it would be a tough game because they gave Whitehall a hard time the week before.” The Trojans' best game was against Whitehall. Senior Scott Loch explained, “It was the championship game. Both teams had the best records in the league.” The Trojans remained on top of the game until the fourth quarter with a score of 7-0. Unfortunately, Whitehall came back to score 15 more points. Former Parkland coach, now the coach for Whitehall, Joe Gerencser, said, I told him (Coach Filipovits) it's good to see a good-hitting Parkland team again.” Team talk The team placed second in the league, their best record since they have joined the East Penn League. “I think the record is a tribute to the seniors lor their leadership and to the juniors for maturing as quickly as they did.

Parkland lost its first game of the season to Stroudsburg 20-6. Their first win came next as they challenged Dieruff. The Trojans scored first as sophomore Chris Zieger ran right for a touchdown. After a Dieruff score, Zieger returned a kickoff for another score. The Huskies never recovered. For a few, the Dieruff game was the best of the season. Sophomore Art Frye said, Although we scored a lot, we didn't play to our fullest ability. We just tried our best to beat them! Four games from the end of the season, Parkland lost in the last minute to the Zephyrs 0-3. Tony Colarusso commented, “I thought it was our best played game. The entire team was psyched. They only won by a field goal. Sophomore Erik Steffy agrees. We lost by score, but not by the way we played. It was a team effort. Two games later, Parkland had their second and last win. The Trojans defeated the Konkrete Kids 7-0. It was a hard-fought game all the way to the end. The only score was a touchdown run by junior Tom Salvaggio. The extra point kick was made by sophomore Tim Smith. Although the season wasn't the best, sophomore Tim Smith thinks the team did all right. It was more of a building year. We were a good team and had a lot of talent. We just didn't function well as a unit. The season was good learning experience. Sophomore F.J. Lahovski summed it all up when he said, The record showed that we weren't the best football team, but we can see through our own eyes that we have become a little bit more mature as people.

The girls then lost to Whitehall 33-56. Sarah Makoul said. We always felt that we could beat them, but things never went our way.

Easton was also an oustanding game. Kim Legg stated, We all played together as a team so we won. Another exciting game was against Freedom. The most outstanding varsity player is Stacey Spitko. Stacey placed third in All Star while Sue Ludwig from Whitehall and Cheryl Graybush from Freedom were first and second. Stacy also played in the LARC game. Stacey said, The team worked together really well during the second half of the season. Because the league was so balanced, we needed a solid team effort in every game to have such a successful season. The girls were seeded second in both districts and league. The girls then played Easton in districts and won, which eliminated Easton. They then played Freedom at Dieruff H.S. and lost 50-49 which eliminated the Parkland Trojanettes from districts.

By the end of the season, both teams shaped up and had earned respectable records. Boys JV had a record of 16-8. Coach Tony Marsicano was pleased with the year.

Best, who wrestles at 119, placed fourth; Nichols, 105, placed seventh. Earlier the three led the team at tournaments, especially Best. He was defeated during the season, became regional champion, and repeated as district champ. His career record was 36-2-1, the best' in Parkland history. He also had a total of 144 victories and is one of Pennsylvania’s top twenty wrestlers. Best said. We might not have been the most skilled wrestling team, but we were the hardest working since I've been here. Nichols placed third in districts, third in regionals, first at West York, and his overall record was 32-8. Kloiber shined also as he placed first in districts, second in regionals, and first in West York. He was 17-1 in dual meets and his overall record was 33-6. The varsity squad, coached by Mr. John Toggas, finished with a record of 8-2-1. Many illnesses, which proved to be a major factor to their disappointing record, occurred in the middle of the season. The team placed fourth in regionals and had the most takedowns for a team in one year, with 187. The team started out at Saucon Valley, where they won with a score of 41-15. The next meet was a tough one against Northampton. This meet proved to be the most enjoyable because Northampton was always tough competition, but this time Parkland came out on top. Due to illnesses, the team lost six of seven meets. The record for the varsity team really did show the whole story. Kloiber said, Overall, the year was very successful individually; the younger members of the team really learned a lot from the captains, Best and Nichols.

He was undefeated this Wrestling 77 Painful gain Sports: healthy or harmful? Sprains, broken bones, shin splints, concussions, pulled muscles and stress factures all add up to pain for PHS athletes. The injuries are caused by conditioning and drilling for the sport, not stretching long enough, freak accidents, and possible even mental attitude. Head injuries are very serious. Senior Cindy Varey, hit in the head by a field hockey stick in a freak accident, suffered a concussion. Varey said, I would have gone back if the doctor had allowed it. I'd be more cautious, though. I'm petrified of being hit again. I still have nightmares in slow motion of being hit. Back injury is perhaps the most dangerous. The possibility of nerve damage and paralysis is always present. At least two PHS .athletes, senior Scott Reichard and sophomore George Kowalchick, have had serious back injuries. Scott Reichard hurt his back during summer basketball camp but didn’t realize the extent of his injuries until basketball season started. It bothered me during golf season, and that's why I went to the doctor, he said. Incidentally, the doctor gave him permission to participate in track season. George Kowalchick hurt his back during an elimination bout for a varsity position. It was definitely a freak accident; no one really caused it, said Kowalchick. Even though there is a possiblity of nerve damage, he will return next year. Bill Hess had his share of injuries also, spending nearly five months in a cast. He hurt his wrist while catching a pass in football, and didn't realize it was broken until a basketball scrimmage. He wore a cast for seven weeks, and when the doctor found no change in the break, he ordered bone graft surgery. This entailed taking a bone from his radius and implanting it in his wrist. At the doctor's office senior Scott Reichard gets x-rayed by an attendant. A back brace was necessary for his stress fractures. Senior Sarah Makoul practiced and played her varsity basketball games in aircasts, because of a problem with stress fractures. Challenging changes Switches add incentive Several JV wrestlers wrestled the varsity players in elimination bouts for varsity positions. This unique changing-over of teams added incentive for every JV member. Sophomores Andy Shoup and Jeff Miller among others, eventually obtained varsity positions. Coach John Toggas said, In some ways I pick the team, but in others the team picks itself. I might encourage someone to wrestle in a higher weight class, but the elimination bouts determine who wrestles in that position. The season began with wins over Central Catholic 31-18, Emmaus 34-24, and Northern Lehigh 36-2 21. I think our best meet was against Central, said Jeff Miller, because they were pretty good. Unfortunately, because of the flu epidemic, the JV team lost five of the last seven games. Sophomore Art Frye said, We didn't have that many wrestlers this year. Most of the upper weight classes were empty. The flu offset the tracks because everyone was sick at different times. We did well for the amount of wrestlers we had. The team consisted of only seven or eight wrestlers for each of the last meets. The wrestlers also practiced with varsity and the experience was good for both teams. Jeff Miller said, If varsity hadn't practiced with the JV, I don't think they would have been as good.

Wrestling T Personal fame Top seniors break records T T eteran seniors Scott w Bohner and Craig Sullivan broke (our school records this year even though the boys swim team overall record was 4-6. The two seniors, who both have four years experience, earned their credits by practicing hard and through pure endurance. Swimming with Bohner and Sullivan were seniors Joe Armbruster, Paul Termini, and Jay Mullikin. The swimmers started off the year with five consecutive losses. Finally, the sixth meet with Saucon Valley broke the jinx and the team won with a respectful score of 59 to 17. The next meet was a tough one aginst Emmaus as they lost with a score of 108 to 61. This meet provided to be an enjoyable one for Sullivan though, because he broke the 500-yard freestyle mark with a time of 5:13.73. Sullivan also broke another record in the 200-yard individual medley with an impressive time of 2:11.23. Sullivan said, I feel this year was successful in the sense of personal achievement, even though our record didn't show it. Two school records were also broken by Bohner in the 100-yard freestyle with a time of 51.32 and in the 100-yard breaststroke with a time of 104.75. At the Upper Perkiomen High School meet he broke a pool record in the 100-yard breaststroke. Bohner said, In spite of our record, 1 think we had a successful year because we improved our times. The next three meets against Liberty, Dieruff, and Freedom proved to be gratifying for the team because at each meet they came out on top. The team placed sixth overall in districts. Bohner finished sixth in a very strong field. Sullivan placed fourth in the 200-yard freestyle and sixth in the 100-yard butterfly. The 400-yard freestyle relay of seniors Bohner, Sullivan, Termini, and Armbruster placed fourth. The overall record for the swim team really doesn't show how well they did this year, because on an individual basis, the boys proved themselves as Front Row: Andy Banner, Jason Giaguinto, Bob Kushner, Bob Dorshimer, Steve Zamborsky, Tom Schadt, coach.

Boys Swimming Splash-tacular Team earns third in League The Trojanettes successfully obtained third place in the East Penn League aided by two key swimmers, junior Shelly Farrell and freshman Tina Wasson. Among this year's many impressive accomplishments include the exemplary efforts made by Farrell and Wasson. Farrell, who last year earned a ninth place in the state, continued her successful career by shattering three previous pool and school records. They include the 200 yard freestyle, 50 yard freestyle, and 200 individual medley. Tina Wasson broke the record for the 100 yard breaststroke with a time of 2:22:24. Farrell felt good about the past season and said, This was definitely our best year. We were a close team and we worked hard this season, especially against teams like Emmaus and Allen. The Trojanette divers averaged a good season as well. Sophomore Denise Miller said, My best meet was the first one of the season, which was Whitehall. I dove better than usual because I was really nervous. Another diver, Tami Nesley, placed eighth in districts. Susan Roth, Parkland's only senior girl swim team member, said, We managed to pull through and win several of the close meets, even though we had a young team. The team consisted primarily of sophomores and juniors. m The team was under the instruction of two new coaches, Mr Tom Schadt and Miss Bonnie Bortz. Both coaches are physical education teachers at Springhouse Junior High School. Mr. Schadt said, I'm lucky to have a team of record setters and hard-workers who not only had a good season but will also have a great future. Junior Michele Springs, a novice swimmer, said, I'm glad to be part of the team. Increasing her advantage, Susan Roth demonstrates her freestyle skill against her Whitehall opponent. Roth was this year's only senior swimmer. Gliding past her competitor, sophomore Gail Cooper helps the Trojanettes defeat Liberty. Cooper excels in both breaststroke and backstroke. Surfacing for air, sophomore Anne Emmerth continues to advance on her opponents. Emmerth hopes to swim again next year. With an expression of determination, junior Shawn McDonough extends her lead during competition. McDonough was an important member of the team. Front row: Tami Nesley.

Girls Swimming 8 Parkland special Students provide free hugs About 700 students freely provided hugs for the local Special Olympians on April 26. Parkland held Special Olympics for the second and last year. The Olympians, from ages seven to thirty, competed in running, jumping and throwing competitions. Several of PHS's special kids competed in this year's games. Besides being a very exciting day, Special Olympics also provided incentive to the competitors. One of the things we want people to realize is that Special Olympics is not necessarily the end of the line. We're a method of training athletes who take a little longer to learn to gain self-confidence; they need to try out for and succeed on interscholastic sports teams,'' said Warren Landis, Special Olympics State Summer Games Representative. Many of the athletes practice very hard before the games. For example Jane Lakatosh ran for winter track and is also a first place winner for the spring track season in the 100 m hurdles. Although Jane can not participate in running events because she is on the track team, the practice conditions her for the other events. Jane said, I practiced softball outside and standing long jump in the class room. If everyone had not helped me, I wouldn't have won.” The huggers as well as the Olympians, had an enlightening day. Many people learned about Special Olympics. Senior Kelly Gallagher said, I thought it was really great. 1 learned a lot, and it made me happy to help the Special Olympians achieve their highest goals.” The Key and Leo clubs provided the officials for each event. Lunch for the athletes was provided by the Lions Club. The spirit of these people helped in making the day a huge success which will be remembered by everyone. This portion of the team picture is about a quarter of the total team. The band, chorus, and drama club participated with 700 students. Shaky Jake, a professional clown, and Jane Lakatosh, senior, clown around and smile for the photographer. Shaky Jake provided fun for everyone. Senior Jane Lakatosh has many spectators dunng her long jump for the Special Olympics. Jane cannot compete in running events. Senior Tom Buss prepares to pace Robert Afflerbach as they begin the mile run. Robert was the only participant in this event. Janine Fagan makes a winning jump dunng the Special Olympics. The athletes competed under clear, sunny skies. Special Olympics 8 New coach Inexperience causes problems The girls volleyball team began this season with only two starters from last year and a new coach. This gave them a disadvantage since most of the players were inexperienced and they were not used to their coach yet. Practices this year were geared to improve basic skills. The new offense, designed to cover more positions on the court, proved to be successful this season. This season the Trojanettes had three scrimages, one against a church league. The other two were against the boys basketball team and against the boys football team. They also played in the Panther Valley Invitational Tournament and brought home a second place trophy. The girls played some awesome games and Easton was certainly one. Shelly Grom scored 15 points during this bout. Nina Meladandri said, We really killed them. Another intriguing game was against Nazareth in which Stacy Saccani scored her record high of 11 points in that game. Central Catholic at home also proved to be good. Ann Rabert said, We played together as a team so we won. Although they did not win districts they missed by one game. There were really no outstanding players this season although there were several close games against very good teams. This year the girls had a new coach Mr. Dave Schaffer. Saccani said, He was really good. We had bad spirit before but he gave us confidence. Jessica Best stated, We liked him a lot because he cared about what happened to the team and tried to work out the problems. The girls sponsored a sports clinic so girls can increase their intrest in volleyball. It turned out to be very successful and plans for more clinics are being made.

Volleyball 87 Slow start Varsity gains The bad weather early in the season delayed many of the games of the varsity Trojan baseball team. The team had a slow start this year but quickly gained momentum. The team did well enough to land a spot in districts. Senior hitters Bret Simock and Rich Corell greatly helped the Trojan team and as pitcher Brian Kuhns said, We had a slow start, but our strong hitting late in the season sent us to districts. Many of the players improved during the season creating a dynamic, well-rounded team. The team had many exciting moments during the 84 season. For Bret Simock it was, During the Central Catholic double-header because I was 8 for 9. Ace pitcher Brian Kuhns and fielders Scott Bartman, Bucky Stoudt, Kevin Reichard, Eric Fager, and Scott Marsteller upset many opposing teams all through the season. The Trojans this year seemed doomed after four losses in a row during the first half of the season. The baseball team rallied its forces enough to try for a seeding in the momentum district competition. Junior Scott Bartman described the turbulent season. Coach Waelchli did a great job inspiring us through our big wins and disappointing losses. This year's season had many ups and downs but was a great experience for the team.” The prowess of catcher Mike Joseph and the pitching staff helped make the baseball season a winning one. The Trojans won enough games to tie for a place in districts. After being defeated by the Allen Canaries 10-8, the Trojans became seeded sixth in district competition. The Pottsville Crimson Tide, seeded third in their league, stopped the Trojans with a 2-1 win. Junior Kevin Reichard summed up the year by saying, We reached our goal of getting into district eleven playoffs, but we were disappointed we did not advance further in district eleven play. The Trojans' season in 1984 was impressive and provided many exciting moments. Junior Scott Bartman reaches to his upmost ability to snatch the ball in order to get his Easton opponent out at first base. At second base senior Brett Simock tags his opponent out and glances to first in case a play could be made there. Senior Eric Fager eagerly awaits for the ball as his opponent takes a tremendous lead in order to steal second base. 8 Sports Front row: Bucky Stoudt, Mike Schdeier. Rick Laub.

It was the fourth year in a row that the Trojanettes competed in the PIAA Class AAA softball playoffs. Unfortunately, Parkland was eliminated in the first round of the playoffs for the second year in a row, both times losing to their rival Council Rock. Parkland's only loss during the season was to Whitehall, but the Trojanettes played them again and won with a come from behind victory of 4-3. The key to the victory was the excellent pitching of senior Kelly Gallagher. Gallagher came through in the top of the final inning and helped the Trojanettes to steal victory and the East Penn Conference title. Gallagher said, The second Whitehall game was tough, but everyone pulled through in the end and the team had intense team spirit because we were really geared up to win. Parkland boasts many award winners this season, among them was senior Stacey Spitko who will attend Bucknell on a basketball scholarship. Named outstanding female athlete, senior Lisa Sommer will attend Temple University on a scholarship also. Senior Kelly Gallagher received a scholarship to Rutgers University. Junior Kim Miller summed up the year by saying, We had a good season but I wish we could have gone further in states.

The softball team forfeited a game against Allen because of the rainy weather. The rescheduled game fell on a varsity game day, and because many JV players were playing in that game, it was necessary to forfeit. Sophomore Stacy Ulrich said, My favorite game was against Phillipsburg because I got to play different positions, and our team was batting well. Sophomore Sally Helfrich said, Our success was related to the fact that we had a close-knit team. Our coach, Christine Beck, knew what had to be done. She depended a lot on the older kids to help the freshmen. Mr. Donald Reifinger, explaining his team's record, said, Because of the poor weather conditions, our pitching and hitting didn't develop. We lost a lot of close games by only one point, Geoff Spitko felt that Allen was the boys’ best game because the team was really working together. Other good games were against Whitehall with a score of 13-10 and Emmaus which was a close loss, 8-10. Sophomore Fred Lahovski commented, We had an average season because many practices were cancelled. If we had more practice time, we could have gotten it together.

Softball 9 Good footing Close season sparks competition Spring '84 proved to be quite a successful season for this year's boys track team. Besides shattering three previous school records and entering six team members in state competition, the Trojans spotlighted the abilities of their talented veterans as well as the emergence of some new track stars. The year ended with a record of 7-4 and placed Parkland third in the East Penn Conference. The season was filled with many strong wins including such scores as 98- 52 over Northampton and 97-53 over Dieruff. The first four meets ended as victories for the Trojans. This was followed by the team's first defeat to Phillipsburg 61-89. The boys' shot for first place was ended by a loss to Allen. Most of the team's victories were due to the individual efforts of such members as Jamie Wasson, who broke the 100 meter dash with a new time of 11:00 and ranked second in the 100 at districts. The 400 meter relay which included Wasson, Erich Schock, Bill Hess, and Tom Salvaggio, also broke the school record with a time of 43.9. The 400-meter relay team also achieved first place in districts as well as seventeenth place in states before being eliminated. Bill Hess had this to say about his relay team, I thought the team worked well together. Another record breaking event was the 3200 relay team who broke the previous PHS record with a new time of 18:15. Craig Sullivan, a member of the 3200 team reflected his thoughts on this year's team. We had a good team, with lots of spirit. The meets we won were won through the depth of our team. Unfortunately, this year's field events were rather limited. The shotput team was unsuccessful although Junior Tony Lewis placed second in leagues and qualified for states, where he placed tenth.

Scott Bohner The Trojans individually broke three previous school records which included the 100-meter dash. 4x100 relay, and discus. This year’s team captain was Renee Shear. _ Top record Coach doesn 't give breaks 1 'mon girls, this is it, said the coach to the girls track team. It's the last meet of the season. ’’But we only lost one meet so far, said one track member, and that was at the beginning of the season, ‘Yeah, said the team's best sprinter, We did pretty good considering we didn't practice all winter. The first girl replied, Give us a break! Coach Robert Miller could have given the Parkland girls track team a break, but fortunately he did not. He led the Trojanettes to the best season they've ever had. Mr. Miller was really pleased with the way the year went. He said, The girls team was definitely stronger than the boys. The girls really put forth an effort. Although the season was the the best ever, the record could have been even better. Mr. Zimmerman, the athletic director, had to schedule the track teams for a rain makeup meet the night before the meet that decided the championship. Some of the girls could have had a share of the league championship. Sophomore Audrey Medlar said, It was stupid. We were too tired to do well. There wasn't enough recovery time. We had a good chance at beating Easton if it wasn't for the make-up. Junior Lisa Vesovich agreed. The makeup almost blew our chances for doing well in season standings. It was disappointing because we probably would have had league championship. That meet against Easton was the last meet of the season. At the start, the Trojanettes were in second place with only one loss. The Hornettes, with no losses, were in first. Unfortunately, Parkland girls lost 73-68, and ended in third place. Team talk Senior Renee Sheer we both girls and boys teem captain. This is the third year Mr. Robert Miller was track coach. When I first started coaching for the girls. I wasn’t enthusiastic. Now it’s better.” Coach Robert Miller Senior Renne Shear broke every Parkland running record during her years on the track team. Senior Nikki Romanchik was high scorer.

Parkland found themselves trailing 3-2 after the fourth singles and third doubles were played. Junior Chris Vanek, ranked third, played a singles match while record recei ve junior Gary Davidowich and freshman Jason Kuhn played third doubles, in which they all were victorious. The game suddenly ended because of rain, so the team finished a week later. Vanek and freshman David Brooks, ranked first, won first doubles in three sets. Seniors Paul Termini, ranked second, and John Deputy, ranked fourth, won second doubles, also in three sets. The team was very excited with the win because they were the league only team Parkland lost to last year. Termini said, It is amazing how the team pulled together. The top four singles players are pretty even in talent and that helped us to practice and get along very well. After we beat Freedom, I kept on telling myself, T can't believe it, we really won!' The team also overwhelmed Whitehall, Beca, Pennridge, Wilson, Liberty, and Phillipsburg. crown Brooks and Termini were named East Penn All Stars and Brooks finished an impressive fourth in District , singles. Other key members on the team were juniors Nimish Chokski, Rich Graub, Marc Levitt, and sophomore Jon Seckinger. John Deputy summed it all up by saying, We all had intense team spirit which caused a lasting bond between the team members and was the ultimate key to our success. |)8 Sports ■ I — Front row: Nimish Chokshi, Jason Kuhn.

Boys Tennis 9 Fitting season Girls team tops nationals For the second year, the girls physical fitness team took the national championship. The boys team placed eleventh in nationals. Although the physical fitness teams had only four meets, they practiced year-round. Besides practicing two nights a week, they also worked out during study hall time. A typical meet entailed doing situps, pushups, standing broad lump, pullups, and a 300 yd. run. The Marines, who sponsor this relatively new sport, act as officials. Senior Kim Clay said, Physical fitness is a very demanding sport. Not many people realize how fit you have to be to become the best in the nation. It's a title that all of us worked long and hard for. In the first meet at Penn Hills the girls placed second and the boys placed fourth. Top scorers were Gina Conti, Nikki Romanchik, and Kevin Bostick. In the Emmaus meet, the girls team placed first and the boys took third. Again in the state meet, held at Pottsville, the girls took first and the boys took second. The hardest part of the state meet was the heat. We competed for forty-five minutes with nothing to drink and it really affected our scores, said Kevin Mayer. For the grand finale, the national meet, the girls continued their winning streak by placing first, while the boys team placed eleventh. Besides placing as a team, Renee Shear placed third individually, Nikki Romanchik placed fourth, Gina Conti took fifth, and Kim Clay finished seventh. Senior Renee Shear said, Mr. LeVan is one of the most dedicated coaches I know. He really cares.' But Mr. LeVan contributes the team's success to the athletes.

Physical Fitness 10J I ■ days Foul ups embarrass Everyone makes mistakes. Unfortunately, they always seem to be when the whole •population of PHS is watching. This provides for some of the most embarrassing moments in an athlete's career. Several people shared their moments with us. Although they can laugh now, at the time they were mortified. For example, junior Sherri Straley said, I was protecting a goal for field hockey and the grass was slippery. I fell head first into the goal. Sophomores Lee Barbounis from the JV soccer team, and Tim Smith, from the JV football team, both had troubles. Lee said, I missed a goal two feet away during a home game. Tim said, In our first game I got the ball on the second yard line and fumbled going into the end zone. The worst is when you screw up a dive, said Denise Miller. Jay Muliken disagreed. He said, “I did a flip turn in the 500 and ended up in the next lane. I finished last. Ron Buse said, ”1 left the zone in track so early that Eric Schock would have needed a car to catch up. Chris Renaud added, I accidentally stepped into the opposing team's lane and ended up kissing the track ” Gloria Mitch said, I fell on my butt when I threw the javelin because it was muddy. I got up and my face athletes was all red. Uniforms provide for many embarrassing moments for the athlete. Both sophomore Liz de Wild and senior Kelly Phillips experienced this type of embarrassment. Liz said, Everyone's shorts were really tight around the legs before one of the JV basketball games. I was showing the girls how to stretch their shorts and mine ripped. I had to go out and play in different colored shorts. Front row: Erik Steffy, Frank Salvaggi, Carl Billera, Whitey Amey. Mark Evans Tony Campetti. Row 2: Scott Marsteller, Steve James.

But Walt, you need the ball to do a layup! Double teeing, Senior Scott Reichard and a fellow golfer, seem to be ready to do a commercial for the Wngley's spearmint gum company. That’s her, Geoff Spitko. She's tall, blonde, and gorgeous. Show off some other time. Stop drooling and get back to the game. We re glad that number three isn't on our team. Unless, of course, he has eyes in the back of his head. He looks very confused. lass A’s lasses work. And fun, too. Work. Classes are taking four pages of notes in a forty-five minute Econ Class. They are reading a three hundred page novel and then getting a five paragraph in-class theme on it the next day. Steve Gadomski, senior, said, I think the work is important and essential, but it can be a burden. But classes can also be fun. Like making a new outfit tor yourself in a sewing class. Or cooking a three course meal in Foods. Fun is building a house up at Vo-Tech. Or making wreaths and floral arrangements to sell. ''The tun of Vo-Tech is the 'hands on' experience you get. You know what it's like for yourself, not through someone elses view, said senior Renee Shimandle. Classes are fun work. 104 Divider Classes 105 From To 106 Advanced Classes 107 108 College Preparatory 109 110 Electives 111 112 Teachers' Pets 113 114 When sick of school 115 116 Business 117 118 Co-OP, DO, General 119 120 Computers 121 122 Vo-Tech 123 124 Cliques and Classes 125 126 Assemblies 127 128 Wrap up 129 Len Roberts, poet in residence, shares his knowledge by aiding students in writing and understanding poetry in a workshop.

Juniors David Bach, pretending to drive a car and Robin Frye act out a modernized version of an old Spanish folk tale. New course offers ‘more’ An honors history course became the newest attraction among the advanced courses at Parkland. The new sophomore history course, taught by Mr. Edward Buss, covers the rise of industrial America to the present. Students use a college level book as opposed to the CP text. Also, honors courses meet five times a week as opposed to the CP's four. Sophomore Michele Honald said, It's one of my favorite classes. Mr. Buss is an excellent teacher. He doesn't just teach you what you need to know; he gives you extra trivia facts as well. He just makes the class interesting. Two years from now, the administration hopes to add a junior honors world cultures course. Both may become AP courses one day. Also this year, biology teacher Mr. Cary Boyer organized a biology study group. He stated, “It was a way for students who wanted to compete at the Cedar Crest College Biology Olympics to meet and review. It was also offered to any student who wanted to study for an achievement test or an AP biology exam. An AP course attempts to prepare students who wish to take the AP exam. A student may receive college credit if he or she passes the AP exam in the area offered. A high enough score on the exam earns a student exemption from that freshman course in college. Senior Nancy Shoup commented, The AP English course is an excellent preparation for those interested in a career in English or writing, but you really have to be motivated because it's a tough course. Parkland also offers Gifted High Potential classes. These cover basically the same material as the CP course but with a slightly different approach, directed by the individual teacher. A basic difference separates the honors courses but the administration places the student in the GHP course dependent upon his or her academic standing. Senior Barb Caliendo believes in the advantages of taking the courses in terms of getting into college. Some of the kids in AP don't like it because they're sectioned with the same people and don't get a chance to see other people in school. I don't think we're special, just different. 1 know I'd be bored in regular classes; I need the challenge. GHP Chemistry student Lisa Vesovich labels substances which will be used to create various chemical reactions. No, it’s not a toga party. AP seniors Van Eric Stein, Don Jacoby, Mike Emmerth, and Bob Meledandri concentrate intently on their performance of Antigone” for the junior class. 106 Academics Who say physics isn't fun? Seniors Julia Lu and Barb Caliendo listen enthusiastically to an explanation given by physics instructor Mr. Eckensberger. A classroom can be a place of mystery and Advanced Biology, with its mind-boggling concepts, is no exception. AP 107 Physics class may be difficult, but Senior Kim Hall and Jim Krumanocker have it under control as they combine their efforts for an upcoming exam. Marching as they recite the chorus to Antigone'' helps seniors Howard Martin, Greta Flederbach. and Jenny Hublitz feel the mood of the play. Debate President David Ijevasseur, senior, successfully argues the negative view of capital punishment during a debate against Whitehall. The debate took place in front of afternoon classes. 108 Academics Classes get ‘rave’ reviews It's difficult to please everyone, and PHS students are no exception. And while most CP students feel they are receiving a well-rounded, quality education, they didn't hesitate to suggest what they would like to change in the course. Though all students would like improvements, seniors, here the longest, have formulated opinions over their three years on what they feel needs to be amended in the academic program. A number of CP seniors were asked what they would change in the program if given the authority. Students questioned eagerly put forth their views and stated a variety of answers. Jim Krumanocker commented on the course in general. The course is too difficult and the workload is incredible. Tests were also a popular complaint. Joanne Smothers said that she doesn't think there are enough tests to give you the chance to bring up your grade in some subjects. Kim Betz took an opposing view. She feels that tests are too numerous and griped that they all fall on the same day. “The problem is that teachers usually teach in two week cycles resulting in tests from Seniors constantly worry about acceptance to college. Senior Allyson Sinclair listens intently to information from 1983 graduate and college representative Beth Kressley. every subject occurring at about the same time. Several stated that certain teachers should take more interest in what they are teaching in order to better motivate the student. Debbie Prockup voiced her opinion. “Some of the teachers expect you to teach yourself. They don't want to be bothered with what they're supposedly being paid to do. Walter Rhoades added that they need to “bring out more class participation to reinforce what is being taught. Changes in electives were another popular topic. Lynn Labelle believes that Parkland should add more elective computer courses. She declared that “colleges require some of the more advanced courses and PHS doesn't offer them. Terry Miscio moaned that certain teachers assign as much work in elective subjects as they do in the major ones. I've put just as much work into both (major and elective subjects), but I'm only receiving half a credit for the elective. Eventually, some of these grievances may be resolved. Others though, are obviously impossible. But haven't seniors earned the right to complain anyway? CP 109 110 Academics Theatre Arts Is one of the fun electives. Seniors Jeff Fithian, the king, and David Levasseur, Prince Charming, discuss finding a wife in the children's classic Cinderella.'' Dissecting a cat is one of the course requirements for Anatomy and Physiology. Seniors Terry Miscio and Joe Kuzma take a stab at their project. Electives 111 What's a break from regular classes, something you want to go to, and probably interesting? Nope, it's not an assembly—it's an elective! Students have many reasons for taking electives. One is to pick up extra credits, since the number of credits required to graduate is increasing. Another reason is to avoid sitting through too many study halls. Sure, it's nice to relax in school, but too many extended note writing sessions in one day can be boring, even for an avid note writer. Still another reason to take an elective is to prepare for a career. Anatomy and Physiology and Advanced Biology are popular among students considering a career in the medical field. Senior Sue Fink said, Advanced Biology is neat because you get to do things you don't do in regular biology like dissecting rats. Electives aren't only to broaden academic horizons, though. Students can learn more about themselves and others through Psychology and Sociology. Senior Craig Cook said, You get to learn why people act the way they do in Psych. It's a pretty good class. Electives also provide students with a chance to show off their leadership abilities. Junior Jeff Micco said, I'm glad I took band because it's fun, and being Drum Major I get to meet people from other schools. A new elective this year is Contemporary Foods, which is taught by Mrs. Sandra Gauger. She said, We were trying to appeal to the student who likes to cook and would like to do it all year. All in all, electives are a break from required classes and provide an opportunity for students to take part in something that they enjoy. Getting comfortable before a practice, senior chorus members Robin Weiss and Wendy Zeitlin look over their music and prepare to sing. Batiking, drawing, and painting are all part of elective art classes. Sophomore Paula Ziegler works on a picture of her pet. Kids elect learning, fun controversy ( (|-n eacher's pet is not a J[ flattering name. After all, who wants to be thought of as an apple polishing goody-two shoes? Back in elementary school, it was always bad to be a teacher's pet. But in high school the rules change, and that doesn't have to have a negative connotation, junior Jill Brady explained that to her, a pet is someone who the teacher picks out of the class to tease. Of course, not everyone likes these people. Sophomore Mike DeLorenzo said, It's someone who's always trying to get on the teacher's good side. Peers might make fun of pets simply because they're jealous of the relationship. Why would a teacher single out one student? Well, intelligence is a factor. Teachers naturally like to see someone who enjoys their subject. The student's participation will most likely reflect this interest. Senior Fulfilling her duties as on athletic trainer, Lisa Sagan wraps a fellow senior Scott Reichard's ankle. Trainers are a great help to coaches. John Deputy offered this explanation: Maybe the person has difficulties in the class so they always go for help. A student's grades might be affected by a good student-teacher relationship, but this is not usually true. However, it is the teacher, not the student, who makes the final decision. Kids have many reasons for wanting to be a pet. One student said, It's fantastic because you can get away with murder! Another reason would be to improve grades without the extra effort of studying until 3 a.m. the night before a test. Sophomore Kevin Shiner said, A little friendliness between the student and teacher is fine, but other than that . . .! But whatever the reason, good relationships can benefit everyone by creating a pleasant learning environment. For the record “The teachers in high school are about the same as in junior high. There's always going to be some teachers you’ll get along with and some you won't. The atmosphere is more personal here because the teachers are helping us make plans about the future.” Debbie Guth, sophomore 112 Academics It’s a club officer’s duty to make sure things run smoothly. Senior Rachael Farber, Student Council secretary, organizes the minutes with adviser Mrs. Barbara Trevaskis. Good relationships between teachers and students are essential in both electives and major classes. Junior Lew Kiefer, a chorus member, and Mrs. Ruth Rayna go over some music. Student-Teacher Relationships 113 Don’t let it get boring A rainy winter day, and no relief is in sight. Term papers are due soon and vacations are a thing of the past. Mundane events such as these cause the symptoms of a disease which runs rampant through the halls of good old PHS: the I'm So Sick of School Syndrome. Several cures exist for this dreaded disease. Junior Kris Krumanocker said, “I just make sure I have a really good weekend with friends so I don't get sick of it. Senior Lisa Jarrouj has an alternate solution. I call my boyfriend and he comes over. “Senioritis, not to be confused with the boredom of sophomores and juniors, is also a common ailment among students in twelfth grade. Seniors realize that it is their last year of school and they intend to make the most of it. Who wants to think about their economics homework when the prom is coming up? When many seniors are accepted at a college, they stop caring about high school and homework. But not Homecoming is a day filled with a wild flurry of preparation. Sophomore Sally Helfrich enjoys getting out of class to load balloons into a van. McDonald's is a favorite weekend gathering place for many Parkland students. Juniors Hardy “Scooter” Stanley, Kim Colarusso, and Senior Mike Schaefer enjoy a break. everyone takes this attitude. Senior Kim Betz said, “I care more about my grades now than I did before. There are a few sure-fire ways to get sick of school. First of all, it's ridiculous to try to study for four tests in one day—that would make anyone looney. Having two hours of homework in each subject doesn't help, either. And “long-term projects (you know, the ones you only have a week to complete) are always in the picture if they aren't lurking around the corner. How about the day after the basketball game when all the teachers decided to check homework? You didn't do yours for the first time all semester! Maintaining a high GPA (Grade Point Average) is important to many students, especially to juniors who want to continue their education after high school. These people realize it is important to remain awake in a boring class. Not everyone does this. Senior Ellen Bielecki said, “I always sketch the teacher. Some other diversions include eating, sleeping, or doing anything else that's enjoyable. For the record “This year isn’t as boring. I think we’re more comfortable because now we’re juniors. It’s better because there are more things that the students can get involved in, which is promoting school spirit. It’s a lot more exciting than it was last year.’’ Melissa Samuels, junior 114 Academics At a football practice, senior Bob Price tore ligaments in his leg. During gym, Bob reads a magazine to fight off boredom. The day before Christmas vacation arrives at last. Santa Claus, alias F.J. Lahovski, waits expectantly for Journalism teacher Miss Mathison’s Christmas requests. Time Out 115 Before working on the electronic bookkeeper, senior Anita Bruder receives assistance from her teacher, Mr. Ralph Seltzer. During Secretarial Practice, senior Renee Shear types happily. Her typing skills will be better than ever after this course is over! 116 Academics Typing’s just a part of it Aproximately ten percent of the students at Parkland are enrolled in the business course. This is the smallest curriculum. Business offers courses for students who are not interested in attending college but would like a job when graduating from high school. Junior Sue DeCenzo says, I took business so that I would not be obligated to go to college. School store practice allows students to control and manage a store. They are responsible for the success of the store. Mrs. Bonnie Miller said, With business skills you always have a back-up. This year students will have new equipment to work on. One is transcription equipment. Other machines used by students are memory typewriters and word processors. Parkland feels that more people should get involved in the business course. Mrs. Miller feels that accounting, shorthand, and typing are a few courses highly recommended for CP students. Typing is also recommended for students interested in taking computers as an elective. It helps to know the keyboard before learning to work on a computer. One course being considered for next year's curriculum is a note-taking course, which is especially useful for preparing for college. Sophomore Linda Rothermel said, I never realized that business electives were offered to CP students. Otherwise I would have considered them when I was choosing my schedule for the year. Preparing for work on the transcribing machine, senior Cheryl Soil completes a lesson on a worksheet during Secretarial Practice. Senior Sue Boderman helps her classmate Vicki Treichler with her work. Sometimes students depend upon one another to get through the day. _____________________________ BE 117 Richard Benckini, 1 senior enrolled in the CO OP program, transplants a tree. CO-OP students spend about half the school day working. Algebra II packeting allows students to work at their own pace. Sophomore John VanHorn and junior Susan Lucas go over some problems together. All sophomores are required to take English, no matter which curriculum they choose. Jenifer Golley reviews her notes in Mr. Randy Claronfs class. 118 Academics Some may think that students who spend only part of the day at school have it easy. But CO-OP and DO students work just as hard outside of school and gain valuable experience as well. Twenty-one students this year participated in CO-OP (cooperative work experiences), a Vo-Tech program. The program, which applies only to seniors, offers training in a particular area such as welding or auto mechanics and after a year the student becomes eligible to work. CO-OP students spend about half the day working, but it varies. CO-OP student Todd Moyer said, “My Vo-Tech training for CO-OP well-prepared me for the work force. The DO (diversified occupations) program, was originally intended for general and business students but even CP students have participated in the past. The purpose of the program is to offer students a chance to work at something they're interested in without Vo-Tech training. It gives students the experience of working for minimum wage and receiving workers' compensation. The DO students attend school long enough to meet the required courses. Like CO-OP students, they usually work half a day and go to school half a day. Guidance counselor Mr. Ernest Ibarra said that they are selective about where they will allow a student to work. Students can't work in places such as McDonald's any more; they must be in a supervised situation. But if we feel it's of value to the student we'll authorize it.” DO student Melissa Grim stated, Being out on your own and working now is very beneficial for future jobs. At one time, as many as 80 students participated in DO, but because of competition for jobs and stricter requirements, the number has decreased considerably. Comparable to the DO program is the Business Education Work Experience. Students get excused from business classes in order to go to work while receiving credit for it. Students take their major subjects in the morning and work in the afternoon. Twelve seniors took advantage of the opportunity second semester; the majority worked at Air Products. For most of these students, the jobs lead to full time employment after graduation. When companies request students, the head of the business department, Mr. Ralph Seltzer, refers people he feels will be acceptable. Parkland also offers the General Curriculum. Some students enrolled in General attend Vo-Tech as well, while others take the course because they are undecided about what they would like to do in the future. CO-OP, DO, Gen 119 Get ready for BASIC t tT eadin'. ritin', and XXrithmatic. That is what people used to say. Now it is reading, writing, arithmetic, and BASIC. This year there are 14 computer classes taught by three different teachers, Mrs. Rosanne Heckman, Mr. John Mondschein, and Mr. Donald Reifinger. Sophomore Denise Bollinger, a student taking computer as an elective said, “Basic computer knowledge will be a necessity in almost all careers. 1 wanted to be prepared for it when I graduate.” Basic computer is a course which introduces the students to the BASIC language. Students learn various computer processes and how to write programs. Sophomore Karl Ziegenfus said, “I'm taking basic computers this year so that I can go on to advanced computers. Students have many different opinions as to the impact of computers and if they will benefit the world. Sophomore Lisa Galante During their spare time, junior Jelf Randal! and Mrs. Rosanne Heckman work on computers. “Hacking , as computer ians call it, is a popular hobby at PHS. said, “I think that computers will help the world in many ways. It will speed up many things that otherwise would take a much longer time. PHS has 28 computers for use in programming classes. This year, the district also added 6-8 Apples to the lower library media center, so “users can try out educational software in language and other fields. The guidance office has a special computer used by the students to find what college would best fit their needs. And in attendance they recently installed a computer to record attendance and eligibility. Mrs. Rosanne Heckman said, “I think that a one semester computer literacy course will become a mandatory course. Both at Parkland and throughout the world, it looks like computers are here to stay. For the record “Computers are affecting our lifestyle by creating a new vocabulary consisting of technical jargon like RAM and ROM, PASCAL and BASIC, DOS and DISK. Individuals are reading less and often react in a mechanical fashion. Mrs. Dale Honig. 120 Academics Computer is an elective which is growing very popular. During class, junior Tim Schwartz shows his skills on a Radio Shack computer. At Vo-Tech, sophomore Stacey Miller works on a computer. Vo-Tech is one of many places offering computers to their students. Computers 121 Christmas inspires the Vo-Tech to construct a metal Christmas tree. Seniors Scott Kozza, Ray Werley. and Ed Meckel add the finishing touches. She may only be practicing now, but Senior Linda Klein works diligently on her model in order to master hairsetting techniques for her state exam . 122 Academics 134 percent I attend Tech The Lehigh County Vocational Technical School teaches approximately 34 percent of Parkland students. The Vo-Tech program endeavors to train its students to master a particular skill and has introduced several innovations this year. The curriculum at the Vo-Tech is divided in two. The tenth grade curriculum involves MOE or Multi-Occupational Experiences Program. It is divided into a variety of courses, and the student rotates through three or four areas. Students receive an orientation, basic information about their courses, and lab projects based on the trades they have chosen. Sophomore Lori Kressley switched from Business to Vo-Tech and is involved in MOE. I don't regret the change at all. I think this program will be a really good experience. The Specialty Program consists of juniors and seniors. Students work in areas such as carpentry or data processing, for example. At the end of a two-year period, the student receives a sheet of competencies evaluating his or her particular skills. It serves as verification for employers. Mike Johnson, junior, said, ’T feel that the Specialty Program is a good one. It's given me an idea of what it will be like when I go out and get a job. Vo-Tech offers an additional program. The Abbreviated Education Program (AEP) is designed for those students who are more trade-oriented than academically oriented. Students remain at Vo-Tech the entire day and work on Vocational skills for two weeks. The third week is devoted to academics, with instruction taking place at the Vo-Tech. Several new programs have been added this year. Cosmetology students who excel the first semester can begin working as cosmetologists the second semester. This is done to acquire the hours necessary to take the state boards. Another course featured is the Health Assistant Program. It works on the same principle as the cosmetology program because of the large amount of information that the student must absorb. Lastly, all labs will receive their own computer terminals. Concentration is imperative when working for precision. Sophomore David Heffelfmger displays this as he works intently with a power drill. The rapidly growing field of data processing attracts seniors lodi Strauss and Diane Bauer. Working on their computer skills helps prepare for the future. Vo-Tech 123 CP students Kim Sullivan, Andy D'imperio, Kathy Julo, Enn Melhorn, Sherri Strahley, and Jay Mullikin use the light snowfall as an exuse to ham it up. Dances are great places to let loose and have fun. CP students Chris Pany and Vo-Tech student Rick Zauck enthusiastically demonstrate this. Vo-Tech students Chuck Sugg, Chris Epler and Donna Haas, and CP students Chuck Epler and Susan Lucas talk and joke before boarding the bus. For the record “I have more friends in CP than Vo-Tech, and most of my CP friends are girls. CP and Vo-Tech don’t have much contact with each other. But they’re mixed together in gym, so that’s how I get to know them.” Bill Giedl, senior 124 Academics Cliques like their images Army jackets and Izod sweaters, hiking boots and penny loafers, heavy metal concert tops and oxford shirts. These articles of clothing denote two notorious groups who display not only a variety of dress but a variety of attitudes as well. The terms Preppies and Freaks exist as the current labels. To many, the term preppy conjures up images of good grades, limitless funds, and an overactive social life. Also to many, Freaks symbolize rebellion against authority, and a total lack of interest in academics. Sophomore Sharon Rosen said, Generally the images associated with the two groups are accurate, but Senior Sue Frey disagreed. 'T don't think people should be given labels. You can't generalize. 4 But can the two groups get - along? Apparently some don't think so. Sophomore Carl Schmoyer put it bluntly. ” Vo-Tech thinks preppies rule the school; preppies think the Vo-Tech are druggies. There's always going to be a large gap between the two; it will never improve.” But some don’t take a definite side. Senior Terry Miscio suggests why she sees a distinct difference between the two. The barrier exists not because the two groups don't like each other; it’s because they don't know each other. If CP and Vo-Tech were in the same classes together, they could get a chance to know one another, but they're sectioned. In fact, some do make the transition between the two groups. Senior Carla Fischer said, I'm in CP classes as well as going to Vo-Tech and most of my friends are in CP. When I went to Vo-Tech at the beginning of this year, 1 was worried about meeting the kids there, but we get along fine. And beginning next year. Principal Robert Mauro wants to offer Vo-Tech students the opportunity to take Business or CP courses rather than scheduling them just for Vo-Tech courses. Business students seem to get less recognition than the other two groups possibly because they seem middle of the road. Some confuse certain Business students with CP and Vo-Tech students; and some believe that rivalry exists between the Business students and other courses. Senior Business student John Miller stated, there are some rivalries, particularly between Business and CP; but generally we don't have them; we're our own group Meantime the jock seems to mean someone who talks about nothing but sports, and who wears only sports-related clothing, untied sneakers with colored laces, and who possess huge shoulders and small minds. Senior Kim Hall doesn't like the image. The outer appearance doesn't always express how important a person really is. locks have just as many problems as everyone else. Classifying is ridiculous. We're all unique. Do students classify themselves? Sophomore Liza Smith said, I don't classify myself as being in any groups. I'm not prejudiced; I get along with everyone. Academic aspects Kids help themselves. Summertime may be more than just a break from the drudgeries of the daily high-school routine. It may be used as a time to broaden horizons and open new doors. Summer Workshops make excellent opportunities for just that. Summer Workshops are basically designed to give the student more knowledge of a particular subject and to give him a competative edge. Students find workshops to be very conducive to a certain topic of interest. Students are introduced to what living in a college atmosphere might be like. They also get the experience of living on their own. They learn how to cooperate with their peers. Junior Jill Brady spent a week during the summer at Bloomsburg University's Campus. She attended a Student Council Workshop, where students were basically taught to build their leadership potential and cooperate with others. Jill commented by saying, We learned important skills, not only the skills taught in the workshop classroom, but also important skills in getting along with people and cooperating with peers. Languages integrate with tomorrow’s world '' j Hola! Como estas? More and more, foreign languages are becoming an integral part of modem life. Forty-nine percent of PHS's language students are taking Spanish, the second most common langauge in the USA. One elective, Occupational Spanish, is helpful to students who know that they want a career dealing with Spanish speaking people. Senior Susan Roth took it because, I want to be able to use Spanish in my career. A smaller percentage of the students took French or I atin. Most I atin students also study another modem language. Sophomore Michele Madtes said, You get to know about other people's cultures and you become more knowledgable. The adult’s education This was the fifty-first semester that housewives, business men, and other students all met for night school classes. Most classes meet weekly from seven to nine p.m. Mr. William Derricott, teacher of exercise-recreation, said, I enjoy doing something non-academic for the school. I also did it for my own personal conditioning. There are numerous subjects to choose from. Some include yoga, CPR, swimming, and Conversational Spanish. The most popular ones are the two computer courses. In the past four years that they were offered, they were always full. Mr. Ralph Seltzer, director of Adult Education, feels that the program has worked very well in the past 25 years that it has been offered. For $22 a course, most participants find it worthwhile. Twenty-eight percent of the language students study German. German influence is strong in this section of the country, and the German club is the only language related club at PHS. Mr. Jon Marks enthusiastically lectures one of his French classes. Only ten percent o the language students study French. The library serves as a peaceful retreat for studying. Junior Lisa Sussman takes advantage of the opportunity. Library is the best Librarian Mrs. Marion Saul and Mrs. Dale Honig both feel that major problems with students using the library are a large number researching at the same time, everyone choosing the same authors, and a lack of proper library skills. But with over 40,000 volumes in the library, Parkland rivals other area high schools at being the best supplied. They also agree that because of easy accessability, good staff, and materials, PHS's library is very complete. It is especially strong in English, foreign languages, and science.

You see your best friend frantically waving to you and slip into your seat as the house lights dim. But are assemblies just an excuse for getting out of class, or do they all have an educational aspect? Many students simply take them at their face value and enjoy them for what they are. Others look at them as chance to veg out. Junior Tom Koncsics remarked, I usually look at them as a way of getting out of class, but some are worth staying awake for. The administration, however, feels that all assemblies are educational. The most popular assembly by far was the Freedom Jam rock concert. Par Key presented an assembly to encourage students to buy yearbooks. The band and chorus put on musical assemblies, and the guidance counselors informed students of upcoming PSAT's and SAT's. Following tradition, seniors found out how to order graduation announcements and had caps and gowns fitted. Jostens had a class ring assembly for sophomores, and in a monologue, Brendon Somers portrayed Rudolph Hess. Hess was a Nazi war criminal. Juniors viewed plays performed by the South Carolina Theatre Company. Taking SAT is an important get more information on PSAT's. part of the year for college which is a practice run for SAT's. bound juniors. To prepare for the Some students also take SAT big event, juniors Erin Melhom. preparation classes. Lou Tallarico. and Garth Herber The student teacher gives pupils a break from Mr. Kunkle's routine and provides a change of pace. Sophomore Jane Jackson listens to Miss Eleanor Gilly. ‘Teach’ learns too Someone walks into your English class and asks you to please open your book to unit nine. The class starts laughing. She asks what’s wrong and the class informs her that they just finished unit two in the book. This student teacher has just experienced her first prime goof-up.” This situation did not actually occur, but it is something that student teachers always have to worry about. Sophomore Sherri Snyder gave her her opinion of them. I don’t think student teachers should have total control of the class but be watched over by the teacher so the students can learn more from both people. Sophomore Ann Ott commented, “Student teaching is an excellent way to finish a teacher's education. They can be of great help. But, I don’t think they should have full responsibility because it hinders the student's education. Many think that student teachers make it easy for their normal teacher. However, Mr. Richard Thompson says, Some student teachers were very well prepared by their colleges, but some are deficient. It always gives teachers extra work until the student teacher is capable of conducting classes on his her own.” The facts about finals Late nights studying, trying to digest a year's worth of crumpled notes; does this sound familiar? If so, you probably know what final time at PHS is all about. Since last year it has been mandatory for students to take finals in all major subjects. First, finals are felt to provide an excellent culmination of the year’s activities. Second, there were many students in the past who were going off to college without the experience of taking finals. Junior Betsy Lloyd commented, It’s good that finals are taken on half-days, because a lot of pressure is on students to do well and it is better for the student to get away and unwind. The reason that students with a consistent A average in a subject for the year have to take finals is so they too will have the experience of what it is like to take finals. Even though many students at PHS would prefer to have a midterm and a final, Assistant Principal Donald Fleming said that the administration feels it is too much trouble for them to schedule both midterms and finals. For the record “I look forward to assemblies. But we should have them more frequently and ones that the students would enjoy more. The only assembly I saw this year was Freedom Jam which I didn’t like.” Adena Honig, junior. Academic News 127 Student tutors give up study hall time to help kids who are having trouble. Senior Chris Roth and Cindy Ruth, a geometry tutor, look over some notes. With a little help E1 verybody has at least I one trouble subject” but if you really feel lost, tutors can be a big help. Academic aspects Quiet study? '' O hut up and stick O your nose back in that study carrel!” yells a teacher into the relative quiet of the lower library. How many times has this command made you jump while cramming for a big test? Most students agree that there should be a place for studying and a place for relaxing during study hall. Junior Randy Wise said, We should be able to go to the upper library and talk if we want to. Some students want to study for an upcoming test. Let's face it—this is extremely difficult when the two girls sitting behind you are giggling and drawing caricatures of the study hall teacher. Some students want to relax. Study hall can be a time to kick off your shoes and sleep. Some people prefer to write notes. Junior Cindy Loy said, Tracey Amey and I are very productive. We counted the little squares in the lights and there's 813,960 in the lower library. These things don't bother anyone else. But what about the kids who want to talk to their neighbors or perfect their computer skills? They can drive the studiers crazy. One junior guy said, The noise creates a disturbance when you're trying to study. You get a lot of people congregated around the computers and then they start talking. They should put the computers in a separate room. Although the library has its drawbacks, it's better than the auditorium. Sophomores are usually the ones who get stuck in this dreaded place. It's dark, noisy, and uncomfortable. Sophomore Scott Hamilton said, You can't do anything in the auditorium. A lot of times I catch up on sleep. When they're working on the plays you can’t concentrate in there. Mrs. Dianne Missmer, adviser of NHS, can arrange for a student to be tutored during study halls. This is the first year of the student tutor program. Next year there will be a panel of advisers consisting of Mrs. Missmer and NHS members. Mrs. Missmer said, It's a good idea because students get more involved in the program. Usually, a little help during study halls is all that is needed. But if someone is still having trouble, they can have a tutor help them after school. This is often expensive, especially if the tutor comes to the student's house. Rates for these visits range between 10 and 15 dollars. Mr. Bob Fahler, an algebra tutor said, For working problems, you have to understand the steps, not just memorize them. Algebra is hard to study for. New friends make moving less traumatic Knowing no one— getting lost in the halls— receiving ten books and not knowing where to put them— being unaware of when the class will be over. All of these are experiences of a person who has moved to a new school. Adjusting to a new school can be very difficult. However, students who have moved in the past seem to feel that new friends seem to help overcome the problems of adjusting academically. Junior Shannon Hayes moved from Florida in the summer of 1983. She said that Parkland is very different from her old school. The grading system here is easier and the finals are different. She added, I came here not knowing anyone. But, I made friends and they helped me to adjust to Parkland. Junior Dave Willertz moved from Pittsburgh to Parkland in July, 1983. He commented, I am glad I moved over the summer. I didn't have to adjust to the new school right away. The worst part of moving was all the friends I had to leave behind. But junior Kim Ross was not unhappy because she was so new that she was not expected to take finals. Working overtime The weather has its effects on most aspects of our lives, school included. This year's unusually cold and snowy winter was the reason for many unplanned snow days. Readjustment of the rating periods was Dr. Robert Mauro's solution. I felt that more time was needed for students and teachers to compensate for the time lost due to inclement weather. Extending the rating periods gave everyone a chance to complete their work on time. Sophomores Carolyn Ojavlo and Marla Davitt do homework. 128 Academics Tho main purpose of the Academic Awards Ceremony is to honor students who display all-around excellence in a certain area. Mr. Bruce Stevenson presents the award for outstanding student in all phases of Industrial Arts to Richard Novitsky as Dr. Mauro looks on. Mr. Stevenson said that Rich won the award because he made several pieces of weight training equipment, such as an Olympic weight bench, a dip bar. and a Roman chair. Academic Award ceremony honors student accomplishment ffering 53 different awards, PHS presented a two hour program to honor the outstanding students of 1984. Principal Robert Mauro acted as Master of Ceremonies for the third annual Academic Awards assembly. The program attracted approximately 350 people. A reception took place in the cafeteria after the presentation for students and their parents. Senior VanEric Stein was the recipient of the greatest number of awards at the ceremony, including Science, Jazz Festival Trophies, and a Scholastic Scrimmage Award. Others earned recognition for music, math, citizenship, art, government, service clubs. Special Olympics, and National Honor Society. Sophomore Nancy Cullen, who was presented with the YUF Scholarship award commented, I was glad I was able to participate in it and see the accomplishments other students achieved. Another award which was presented at the a assembly was the PA Citizens for Better Libraries Essay contest award. Senior Tom Buss said Mrs. Saul and Mrs. Honig selected his essay on the right to read to represent Parkland on a statewide level. He said, I was very honored to represent Parkland. This accomplishment is a cornerstone for my future and maybe my career. Playing Wall Street Warrants, Debentures, Common and Preferred stock. These high finance terms don't only apply to Wall Street. PHS students along with 8,100 other schools got the opportunity to play the stock market as part of a computerized game sponsored in part by Widener University. Each school received $100,000 in name only, to play the market. The participants divided into teams and the team which made the greatest profit over a ten week period would win a trip to New York City. Business teacher Donald Reifinger, who divided his Personal Financial Management class into eight three-person teams, felt it was good, valid experience for the game. One of Mr. Reifinger's teams advanced into the top 150 category out of the 2700 teams which participated. Most students experienced losses because of falling prices. Some of the most popular choices of stock were Walt Disney Enterprises, high-tech companies, fast food restaurants, and local companies such as Air Products and Chemicals Inc. Senior Richard Benckini is one of the students with a part-time job through the Co-op program. Richard works for his dad's landscaping business. Striking a balance As the adage goes, a little hard work never hurt anyone. But going to school and working can definitely put a tremendous strain on the student. Senior Nadine Chaputa said, It is better to do without the job than have it hinder your education. There will be a time when you have to work. But Matt Molchan, senior, who works two jobs said he has no trouble keeping up with school and work. Working can also be a great opportunity. Senior Deena Alfahl commented, You should try to give equal time to both an education and a job. A job is the best way to experience life in the real world. For the record Working is definitely a strain because parents want you to have the responsibility of work and still expect you to get good grades. I’ve kept my job because I want to have it during summer; otherwise I would have quit.” Debbie Prockup, senior.

New principal, Dr. Robert Mauro, has settled into his role and feels he has overcome the initial difficulties and differences between PHS and his New Jersey school. According to Dr. Mauro, The students at PHS are the best part about the high school; they're easy to work with, courteous, and for the most part they take their studies seriously.'' Dr. Mauro also likes the high standards of the school. You always want to raise standards, but it would be much harder if the students here weren't as conscientious. Dr. Mauro stated that a greater use of percentages, fewer discipline problems, and greater respect for teachers at PHS exist as the major differences between PHS and his former school. In April, Dr. Mauro taught a unit on Japan in Mr. Kleintop's World Cultures course for a period of two weeks. Just before going into Mr. Kleintop's class he said, I want to set an example as an educational instructor. I think it's important and would relay a positive message to the school community. His wife, Adrienne Mauro, also received recognition. On February 22, the female faculty, headed by Phys. Ed. instructor Mrs. Mildred Nemeth, organized a small reception in the Home Ec. rooms. The women made the food, which ranged from chips and taco dip to an elaborate sausage dish and several deserts. The faculty presented Mrs. Mauro with a bouquet of flowers.

Instead, 40 buses now have two-way radios for the driver's use. These radios are a two-way communication system between the buses and the transportation office and garage, commonly referred to by the drivers as the base. In case a school bus ever runs into trouble, such as an icy road, the new two-way radios will come in handy. Bus driver Russell Meckes makes contact with the transportation office and garage. About 50 vehicles, including buses, trucks, and station wagons received the radios between December, 1982, and the summer of 1983, each costing approximately $300. The reason for the installation of the radios is to help communication. A bus driver uses a radio to report to the school a mechanical breakdown, a traffic jam, or student misconduct. With the advent of these radios, the buses have become safer and more efficient, Mr. Donald Laudenslager of the transportation office said. Additional Staff: Gus Pappas, Barbara Trevaskis.

Mr. Donald Fleming, Mr. Jerry Pail, and Mr. Edward Schultz all share a common extra-curricular interest in antiques, something they collect in their spare time. Mr. Pail is into oak furniture, which he started collecting about seven years ago. Most of the furnishings in his house are oak pieces which he buys at auctions and yard sales. In explaining his refinishing process, Mr. Pail said, It's not an elaborate process, but it brings out the grain in the wood. His favorite furnishing is a rolltop desk, and the most meaningful piece is a cradle which belonged to Mr. Pail's mother. Mr. Fleming has collected antique watches for 3 years, and he has all different kinds: silver and gold, different models and styles, and watches by different makers. Most of his watches are 50 to 60 years old and he buys them at auctions. He explained, I'm intrigued by the mechanisms and the styling; they're different than ordinary wristwatches. Mr. Schultz, although he enjoys many kinds of antiques, is most interested in postcards from the turn of the century. He is especially interested in cards showing great historic events and aeronautics. Mr. Schultz has a few fraktur, which are hand written baptismals and other forms of writing. These forms of folk art are generally very colorful. Maintenance: Front Row: Rick Stoudt, Kenny Lichtenwalner. Row 2: Lillian Casselbury, Larry Goodwin. Ben Kem. Sterling Miller, A1 Gessner.

Junior Matt Snell, sophomores Janine Mendola and Lisa Petrakovich, and senior Jana Block wait in line for Thursday's salad bar. Creativity was the cafeteria staff's byword. It started with the menus: posted monthly on bulletin boards throughout the school. On them, students found Scramble Day and then went to the cafeteria to eat their “Cato, Opttao Emgs, Aesnosde Matotose, and Llchide Trfui”, commonly referred to as taco, potato gems, seasoned tomatoes, and chilled juice. This is just one change that Mr. Richard Cruse, the new Director of Food Services has made. Mr. Cruse has also added foods to the a la carte menu. Bagels with cream cheese. Pudding Pops, and a variety of health snacks are just a few of the items added to the line this year. The cafeteria staff has also attempted to make the cafeteria more pleasant by decorating for the various holiday seasons. Although the decorations may not seem lavish, they are a start and more will be added. Mr. Cruse said, “My goal this year for the cafeteria was to continue to provide quality lunches and at the same time increase participation. Cooks: Front Row: Janet Eck.

I look forward to my junior year, so I can pick on the sophomores. The Class of '84 prepares future seniors with advice A s the seniors look forward to commencement, they reflect upon the past year's events. They think about all the things that they have done along with all the things they have not done. So now they are prepared to give advice to the class of '85. The consensus is that the year passes very quickly. One senior said, Do as much as you can and you will be happier, because when it's all over and you look back you might say T should have,' and then it's too late. Remember to try hard to reach all goals that you set for yourself. And hopefully you won't have any regrets. Achieve all your goals and aspirations, no matter what they may be.” Just because it's your last year don't think that it's time to slack off from studying. Senior Joe Cavosi said, Study and keep up your grades. Don't get senioritis on the first day of school.” Keep your grade point average up, because it is really important. Senior Walt Risley said, Keep your grades up the first half of the year; the second half you can blow the year off!” Some people think that the whole year should be a time to sit back and enjoy the fun side of school. Mark Lutte commented by saying, Don't take any teachers seriously, and don't be pushed around by anyone!” Debbie Altemos commented, Make your senior year last, because it's the best year of your life. Get involved and make a lot of new friends. Pick out a future that you will want for the rest of your life, not one that you will regret!” Junior Tammy Hrusocky said, I'm looking forward fo becoming a senior, because it'll probably be my best year. Juniors reap the full benefits A s your junior year ui ends, homework and finals tend to dominate your scenario. However, there is one consolation: at the moment that the Class of '84 turns their tassels, you will at long last become a senior. As a senior you will begin to reap the full benefits of being on top. For instance. 140 Togetherness Team seniors are privileged enough to have their own skip day. Seniors receive respect and admiration from underclassmen. The fact that you will soon have no more required education can be an impetus for getting your work done. At the beginning of your senior year, if you haven't already, you will look for an institute of higher learning. College acceptances begin shortly after Christmas. This tends to worsen the effects of senioritis. Senioritis is a condition in which the victim is totally apathetic in all matters concerning school and the intensity varies from person to person. He is unable to function as a normal” human being, and the only phrase known to him is But I'm a senior,” which he uses as an excuse for everything. Your senior year is ideally the best of your high school years, and you should go into it with a positive attitude. . . . Junior Wayne Petel is a hard working musician in a local rock band. . . .

Afterschool fun A fter five long days of studying, kids need a break from the daily doldrums of school. But where do kids go for fun? Bill Daniel's or Scarlet’s are excellent places for dancing. McDonald's is a great place to go to see friends; after all, it's notorious for catering to the Parkland crowd. Whatever your taste, just remember, school resumes on Monday. Students Drew Smith. Tammy Frantz. Kris Krumanocker, Cheryl Ebert, and Amy Nigro show off their dancing abilities at a Parkland dance. The Seniors and the Faculty battle it out once again! Was it fair or not? rhe third annual senior-faculty softball game proved to be a great success for everyone; that is, for everyone except the faculty team. After a two year winning streak, the seniors showed the faculty just how well a team can do with a total team effort. The final score of the game was 14-1! The faculty has many excuses for their loss which include one teacher's fear of catching the ball because she might break her nails! Another excuse was the fact that only nine players showed up for the first inning. One teacher commented by saying, We had no time to practice, we were too busy correcting papers!” Some seniors think that the faculty came up with some very feeble excuses. Senior Michele Mizgerd said, They should've come up with a better one!” The outcome of the senior faculty softball game proved very disgracing for the faculty, after a disappointing attempt to catch up to the seniors who had a 12 point lead. Here Mr. Ritter and senior Brian Ohl air their greivances.

Graduating before the required twelve years; is it possible? Yes, definitely, if you are willing to work extremely hard. Jenny Demko is proving just how possible it is to accomplish this incredible feat. This year, Jenny graduated a year and a half early, so she can begin her dancing career in New York. Jenny began dancing when she was just four years old and is now completing her eleventh year of training. But Jenny said her serious ballet began at age six. She is known for her extraordinary talent, and her performances. Jenny feels she is extremely lucky to be graduating early and she plans on dancing for her lifetime career. The average age of a dancer is between 30-32, therefore, it is necessary for her to begin as soon as possible. Since the Joffrey Dance Company has accepted her, her chances of getting ahead are better. Jenny practices approximately three hours on weekdays, and on weekends she goes into New York for classes all day. She also teaches dance once a week to children from ages 9-13.

Like most other decades there's a new dance craze sweeping the nation. It's not the Bus Stop or the Shuffle, though. The dance phenomenon of the '90's is— that's right— break dancing. Although it really became popular in the '80's, break dancing is much older than you think. It all started in the Bronx in the late 'GO's-early '70's. A man named Afrika Bam baa ta wanted a different way for the many gangs to compete instead of with violence. Hence, break dancing was born. Junior Erich Schock has been break dancing (or breaking as it is commonly called) for about six months. Erich decided to get into it because of the many shows and videos on tv that feature the new art. Force Five, a break dancing group in Allentown, influenced Erich. Some of the guys who belong to this club showed him some of the moves and have become friends with Erich. Unlike when breaking first started, today break dancing is done mostly for thrills, fun, and entertainment Erich stated. Did You Know? . . . Leslie Miller is vice-president of an Explorer Post. . . .

Many people find themselves running to their next class with their gym shorts on, just hoping their teacher will either let them go back to change or at least approve. Earlier this year Student Council drafted a proposal for a dress code and submitted it to Dr. Mauro. The guidelines, which are still under discussion, propose no shorts of any kind outside gym class, no halter tops, or clothing with suggestive slogans. However, shorts may be worn on designated days. Some students are bothered by the dress code while others don 7 care either way. Liza Smith, Sophomore, said I think we should be able to wear shorts when we want to Senior Jeff Budline feels ’ 'It is stupid! We should be able to decide what to wear for ourselves. Many teachers feel the dress code is a good idea. Mr. Ralph Fredrick, history teacher commented, I am not interested in hairy legs staring at me. I feel that part of giving an education is imposing some restrictions on the students. In reaction to Dr. Mauro's dress code, seniors Sherri Milla and Kelly Phillips join with Student Council s attempt to change the dress code.

These are some of the types of characters who reside in New York City; in fact, this is the major reason why Jon Arbegast chose to live there this past summer. I got fed up with the attitude around here, Jon explained; he believes in individuality. Some students look at Jon as if his appearance is abnormal while others admire his uniqueness. Different hairstyles every few months, five earrings in one ear, and leather spiked bracelets exemplify his individuality beyond a doubt. Jon is forced to deal with some negative aspects also. People's overquestioning, strange looks and the school administration are included. “The teachers don't really pick on me.

But to fulfill these requirements and excel in them is even tougher. For senior Jim Best, this has been a part of his lifestyle. Jim Best finished the year with a 36-2-1 record, the most wins ever in a PHS wrestling season. He also reached a career high of five tournament wins. Best began his career at age six. He has two older brothers who also wrestle. He stated, It was either wrestle, or move out of the house. Jim placed first in the District 11 tournament, which enabled him to participate in the Northeast Regionals tournament. Jim Best emerged as regional champ. Jim finished fourth in states which were held at Hershey Arena. Best's next goal is to go to college. He is planning to continue with his wrestling career while studying engineering. While in college, he would really like to win an NCAA title. That's a tough one, no doubt, and it's definitely long range, but it would be kinda neat. Trojan checklist Greg Inman: 6219 Holiday Dr..

But five PHS seniors managed to do all that and attain the high rank of Eagle spare Scout in their time. Seniors Stephen Gadomski, Steven Kuhns, David Medence, Walter Risley, and Brett Silvius received the highest honor possible in the scouting organization, which is earned by less than one percent of all scouts. To be eligible for Eagle Scout, each had to complete a service project, acquire 21 merit badges, and ten skill awards. The service project entails 40-GO hours of work and must benefit the community. Most scouts join the program at the age of 11 and must fulfill the requirements before turning 18 to become an Eagle Scout. Each Eagle Scout said he felt a sense of pride and accomplishment for receiving the honor. After becoming an Eagle Scout, they may stay on and be a scout master.

Along with seven other Parkland seniors, VanEric Received a National Merit Letter of Commendation. While a member of Parkland's Math Team, VanEric finished third this year in the Lehigh Mathematics Competition. He also is the captain of Parkland's Scholastic Scrimmage Team.

In fact, even halfway through the year, seniors started thinking about I will probably miss the people at PHS most, because 1 learned a lot about myself from the people I met here. Kevin Ruth what they would miss most. The majority, of course, will miss their friends more than anything else, as is the case of Walt Risley. I'm going to miss my friends the most because they are the ones who make the endless hours of classes bearable. Good times spent with I’ll miss the personal atmosphere at PHS, because these types of relationships are limited at college.” Mark Reed special friends provide the best memories of all. Lisa Sagan is going to miss the football and basketball games, and “all the good times in the training room. Kristen Hollinger will miss going out with the gang Friday and Saturday nights. Many PHS seniors spend these nights at McDonalds, school functions, and various parties. By the end of the year, most seniors are anxious to begin their future plans. Kelly Gallagher felt that even though I'm looking forward to college, I know when I look back at my Parkland years, there will be things I miss. The friendships made through high school are the best. Fortunately, we will all keep in touch and look forward to good times ahead. Each student will have a special memory about PHS.

That's our key to success, and it's the reason we're one of the top schools in the area. When Trojans decide to do something, we really give it our all. Our clubs are no exception; almost everyone involved strives to achieve the best possible final product. And in the process, we have fun. Sophomore Steve Strecansky said, We all worked together to get the best production we could for South Pacific. There was a lot of fun and enjoyment in the process. It was like school; there was so much to learn. After three straight years of coming out on top in the league, the debate team is one of PHS's most successful clubs. Dino Saccani, a sophomore member of the team, commented, Of all the debate teams, the Parkland debate team works the hardest. We do a lot of research and go at it really seriously. In fact, a kid from another school told me we take it too seriously. I like the experience I got because I want to be a lawyer. But learning isn't the only reason we work so hard. Walt Risley, a senior member of Key Club, remarked, What I liked best was the dance marathon. We were a group of kids getting together to help people who are not as fortunate as ourselves. But it's hard to beat the band when it comes to spirit! Senior Debbie Prockup explained, What most people like best is marching season. We become a tight-knit group and have a lot of fun. Its a lot of work, but it's worth it. A typical band prank is pushing Mr R's car across the parking lot when he forgets to put his parking brake on. And at the spring concert we had a rubber chicken flying back and forth across the stage.

These few people, who are hidden behind the scenes that they build, make up the PHS stage crew. One of this year's major responsibilities was to assist in installing the new audio system donated by Mrs. Heintzelman. Glenn Gerchman, stage crew director said, The system was desperately needed and greatly appreciated. The stage crew's projects this year included various assemblies: The Christmas and Spring Chorus and Band concerts and the children's matinee Robin Hood and Cinderella. Their big challenge was the spring musical South Pacific. Many hours were spent designing the set and creating the appropriate mood. Also the members of stage crew have specific jobs. Bob the sound system most of the time and I'm learning how to work the lights. Senior Frank Whitaker and Scott Walck worked the audio visuals for the plays and assemblies.

It's not like High School band where students are there because their parents say they should be, said Julia Lu about District Band. This year district band was held at Moravian College and directed by Captain Timothy Foley. Six Parkland students qualified: David Lamm, Donna Knudson, Julia Lu, Paul Lu, Van Eric Stein, and Brian Evert. When the students first auditioned they were asked to play a predetermined piece of music, which they were given a few weeks before the competition. They also need to know all of the scales and be able to sight read a piece of music. A select group of students got to go to District competition. These students were Curt Jennewine. Stephen Strecansky, Joseph Kuzma, Stacey Perriello, Patricia Risley, Susan Moyer, Louise Meyer. The competition is very tough at districts. There are ten districts in competition with each other. A small group of the district people go on to regionals. Three students were selected for regionals: Louise Meyer, Patricia Risley, and Stephen Strecansky. Those students who did not get picked for Districts find Chorus at PHS just as exciting. Sophomore Sue Moyer said, “I love Chorus, it's a great bunch of people.' Senior David Lamm shows off his solo trumpet playing ability. David was one of many to have talent to go on to district band. Senior Julia Lu demonstrates her piano talent during the Christmas concert. She is one of many students from PHS to go to districts. Woodwinds Front row: Amy Dille, Darrell Winner, Jill Reinhard.

This is the music of the PHS Chorus. Mrs. Rayna, the choral director, stated, The school should see the chorus as a bunch of kids who work very hard, are willing to devote much of their own free time to rehearsal, and are very disciplined, but yet still manage to have a good time. The mixed Chorus has a membership of about 45 students. This is the main body which any individual is welcome to join. They rehearse during third period on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. In addition to this they also have after school rehearsal once a week. They sing a variety of songs ranging from Old Latin to show-tunes to contemporary pop music. PHS also possesses three small more specialized groups: women's, PSU, and Barbershop. Individuals in all three organizations must try out and be selected by Mrs. Rayna. Other than successful performances and good cooperation, the exact goals of the chorus cannot be clearly stated. Mrs. Rayna said that her ultimate aim is to have everybody experience the joy of making music intead of just listening to it. She also hoped to expose the students to all periods and styles of music. The general view of the students, was expressed by senior Wendy Zeitlin. We want to show our school that chorus is something to be proud of. The chorus worked many long hours, to get the Spring Choral Concert ready. Here they are performing a choreographed number. The Barbershop quartet sings out to rejoice in the Christmas spirit.

Some of our yearly activities include our induction ceremony which was held on November 15. We also take part in Fun Nite. There are about 127 students involved in NHS. To be a member the student must have at least a 3.5 point average, and also be a junior, Alison Weidner, the president, said. This year we are trying to raise money for scholarships, stated Nancy Shoup, vice-president. The scholarships are toward the students major subjects such as art, English, etc. They raised the money for scholarships by sponsoring dances and having a volleyball marathon.

Student Council is involved in most decisions and programs at Parkland. A new project this year was the student of the month. Students could submit names of other students who they think deserve recognition or the title student of the month, for doing something outstanding. Some other Student Council projects this year were tenth grade orientation, Homecoming, Computer Dating and the Sexy Legs Contest. One of the most talked about projects was the new dress code.

With the teamwork of 14 members they ended up with an impressive record of 27-5. The first half of the year they argued about Capital Punishment. The topic the second half was the procedure of criminal courts in the nation. At each session, they divide into four teams, each having three to four members. They had two debates per round. The teams changed every round according to the strength of the opposing team. The advisor for the team is Mr. John Durishin. He said, T am extremely proud of them, they are all winners in my eyes. The president was senior David Levasseur; Vice president Alison Weidner, Secretary Marc Levitt and Treasurer Nancy Shoup also led the team. David Levasseur siad, “I was honored to be part of the league champion debate team at Parkland, and I hope we have started a steady tradition. The team made it into finals but lost to Catasaugua by a fraction of a point. The team for the finals consisted of David Levasseur, Marc Levitt, Nancy Shoup, and Barb Caliendo. Senior Nancy Shoup, sophomore Jon Newhard, and junior Darrell Winner discuss the proceedings of the debate, during the five minute recess period. Jeff Alicea prepares his rebuttal while Kevin Ruth and Barb Caliendo prepare questions for the opposing speaker. Senior Kevin Ruth discusses his facts with the opposing team.

I need a headline, and I have to stay after school to meet deadline. Publications Those words often come from the mouths of'students who work on Parkland's publications. This year one of the improvements was to exclude favoritism. Both publications made an effort this year to include Vo-Tech students as well as CP and Business students. said Miss Audrey Mathison, the pubications' adviser. Par Key designed a whole Vo-Tech layout to inform students at Parkland what goes on at Vo-Tech. The trumpet has always gotten flack for being a CP publication. To try to amend this, we expanded our News Digest to include all of the schools clubs. We also devoted a centerspread to the special programs up at Vo-Tech. said Editor-in-Chief Jeff Alicea.

They make it look easy, but it actually takes a lot of practice and devotion. During the summer they practice four hours five days a week. Sometimes we even come back at night for an additional two hours, said Lisa Foster. Once school starts they spend their afternoons at clinics training till 4:30. Senior Cindy Benckini, a majorette, said, It takes a lot of time and effort to get the show down, but it's worth it. The Bandfront included majorettes, silks, rifles, and main guard. They had hoagies and candy sales to raise money for new uniforms and new flags for the silks. This year they performed at competitions and parades. They also led the beginning ceremonies at the Special Olympics which was held at Parkland. They also brought back the idea of a drum majorette along with the traditional drum major. Jill Reinhard was selected for drum majorrette and Jeff Micco was the drum major. Jeff said, Marching Band is a lot of fun and work, but it gets me through the first rating period.

A regular Dance Club meeting included warm up exercises, aerobics, and practice sessions for their routines. They also had a class that was taught by instructor Terri Unger. The members learned the intense techniques of aerobics. The club consisted of approximately 25 regular members with three assistant choreographers, a secretary, a treasurer, and a vice president. Hopefully Dance Club will continue next year, but they must first find someone to take over who has experience in dancing, responsibly, and organization as Diane Attrill has. She has been dancing for over ten years at four different dance studios. She has entered discovery talent showcase and won first place. She also entered the Junior Miss Pageant and Miss Lehigh Valley in which she performed. Dance Club had a candy sale for its only fundraiser, but they have participated in Fun Night in which they raffled off a large stuffed animal. Kelly Phillips was the lucky winner. Regular members of the group performed May 9 at Parkway Manor Elementary School and did aerobic routines with the kids since physical fitness has become so popular.

Dance Club 2 Wrap-up Student store Clubs lend to Every year students involve themselves in clubs and no matter for what reason they all have something in common. Togetherness. Whether it's from the marching of the band to the pondering of the next move in the chess club they all help to unite the school. Without clubs we wouldn't be involved in the community, have a student government, show spirit, and without clubs we wouldn't have publications. The benefits of involvement in clubs are many. We meet half the friends we do because we're involved. We wouldn't receive the recognition and gain the fulfillment that we do from helping out with the community. Sophomore Kim Oswald, involved in silks and on the Par Key staff commented, Being involved in clubs makes the school year go a lot faster. Lew Kiefer, junior, said, clubs promote friendships because of the social gatherings it brings about. Besides the prominent clubs such as Key and Leo clubs, many overlook the contributions of the clubs that don't gain as much recognition. Many fail to realize that these clubs are just as important as the clubs that are frequently mentioned.

Wrap-Up 205 to aid Sweat work. Fun work. Both are a part of PHS'S involvement with the community and its involvement with PHS. Sweat work included staying up all hours of the night to organize a big fundraiser such as the Dance Marathon, which benefited Diabetes, or making sure a huge event. Special Olympics, ran without complications. Sherri Mills of Key Club said, The organizing of fundraisers is a tremendous job.” Fortunately, everything is not sweat work. Fun work is what memories are made of. Volleyball and typing marathons, collecting pennies for our Lady Liberty all created fun. Sophomore Randi Pitkoff said about the Dance Marathon, I had fun staying up 25 hours and being able to raise money for a good cause.” In Cinderella Cinderella, Paula Spanich coaxes the audience to participate and wish with her during a performance. Student Council became involved with the community by sponsoring a dinner for the area senior citizens. Fun Nite was a way the community helped us raise funds. Here a supporter tries the ring toss. Chris Roth, a hugger, takes a break with her Olympian between his events. Paula Spanich and Paula Penkal get ready to hit the Special Olympics and support the Olympians. The National Honor Society held a Volleyball Marathon to benefit Save The Children.

They have shown what makes Parkland outstanding. The Trojan Trophies” section highlights outstanding Parkland students. Mrs. Rayna, the choral director for the high school, said, I'm proud of my students and they deserved the long-awaited recognition. The choral group competed in the West Chester Choral Competition in February and received an Outstanding rating. Besides the Trojan Trophies, the following pages contain advertisements from businesses in the Parkland area. Photographer, Frank DeChristopher, Jr., said he likes to advertise in high school yearbooks because, It helps the kids and it helps to support the school. The services of businesses and the accomplishments of Parkland students combine to form the TOTAL TEAM effort needed to prepare a fine yearbook and an outstanding school. 208 Ads Congratulations Seniors Class of 84 piedpipeR DINER RESTAURANT Rt. 22 Trexlertown, Pa OPEN 24 HOURS ftLECKNER SONS Major Brand Appliances Electronics Salts Service 2177 MacArthur Rd. 575 Chestnut St. Whitehall, Pa.

The girls track team had its best season ever with a record of 8-2. We proved that we can get good grades, but have fun too. So we carried on the tradition of playing senior pranks.
