Table Of Contents Dedication Theme Senior Informals 1 Faculty Clubs And Activities Graduates H ' Directory 1 Ads 147 We, The Class Of 1980 Dedicate Our Yearbook To Sister Joan Blake We dedicate this yearbook to Sister Joan Blake due to our recognition of her service to St. Joseph ' s College. She has given of herself to the school in the capacities as teacher of Political Science, moderator of Political Affairs Club, and friend to stu- dents and alumni alike. We hope that her efforts will continue to be appreciated in the future as much as they are today. To be and not to seem, the school motto, is an inspirational goal and one worth adopting as a lifetime principle. In the final analysis, it is what we are, not what we appear to be that is the most im- portant accomplishment of our lives. Sister Joan Blake Themes When the Yearbook Committee members first met and asked each other, What will the theme for the Yearbook be? , we all shrugged our shoulders and exchanged the same quizzical and blank faced expressions. In actuality, what we were looking for was one single idea, one tiny word or phrase that would encompass our four year experience at St. Joseph ' s. The quizzical looks returned. A few encouraging suggestions were tossed back and forth, but there were none that felt just right . It sooned dawned upon us that in order for us to pile four years worth of living into one single word, a single aspect of our total experience, we would have to eliminate a great deal of our insights, our learning, our discoveries, our impressions, our revelations, or whatever you want to call them. They just wouldn ' t be there. In fact, a single theme would not make our college life and spirit complete. Instead, we came up with five individual themes, which easily broaden the scope of our experiences. These themes center around John Denver ' s song, Looking for Space . The song itself focuses on the truth and reality that we ' ve come to see face to face. Rather than say, college was a breeze — let ' s do it again sometime , we are willing to admit that it wasn ' t all that easy. Sometimes we do fly like an eagle, and sometimes we are in despair. But as the song ends in optimism for the future, so do our four years. Friendship, another aspect of our theme, will be the solid, concrete foundation from which we look back on our years here. No doubt, the first friendships formed at Freshman Orientation in 1976, will be the same ones that grow after June of 1980. Perhaps these friendships could be expanded to include our faculty. This brings us to another part of our theme - dedication. There are many things that can be said about our faculty, the most important being that their dedication is very real. This dedication has nurtured our enthusiasm . . . we ' re psyched!! In turn, camaraderie of our class would not have been possible without this theme of enthusiasm. You see it everywhere, from the cafeteria to cake sales, from the first snow to the first victory for the basketball team, from the mixers to the three hour Senate meetings, and even to the numerous clubs and associations that are a part of student life. The final and perhaps most important theme is that of moving towards our dreams. From the first second we stepped through the doors of 245 four years ago, we had a goal in mind. Some dream, which at that time seemed so obscure and just out of reach, has arrived or is right nearby. But with the realization of these dreams we have new ones, more goals that we ' re setting up for ourselves and that we ' re willing to work hard to fulfill. After all, that ' s what dreams are for. We hope that these th emes are successful in describing our experiences. They are everywhere throughout the book, in pictures or in our own quotes which depict our own personal goals and dreams and even the things we want to be doing in ten years. It ' s all here, and we ourselves are saying that this is not really the end for us, but it is a new beginning. LOOKING FOR SPACE by John Denver ® Copyright 1975 Cherry Lane Music Co.

It is so obvious to us that our faculty members have one goal in mind and this is to provide not only a thorough education in subject material but a sense of encouragement and pride to each student. We are not just STUDENTS, we are individuals as well. The ability to make us feel our own importance and self worth among all other students is a prime example of how much we mean to them. We can only say thank you and we would like to let them know they mean just as much to us as we mean to them. Their dedication in providing us with a solid education is overshadowed only by their dedication to each student simply because they are here. As further evidence of their devotion to us, we asked the department chairmen to make a statement to the senior class on behalf of their department, if they were not too busy. Many did and we would like to thank them. Finally, we would like to remind you all that we will remember you fondly . . . always. 3C ST. JOSEPH ' S COLLEGE. BROOKLYN. N. Y. 11205 THE PRESIDENTS OFFICE June, 1980 Dear Members of the Class of 1980: Do you remember the words: I expect to pass through this world but once. Any good thing, therefore, that I can do, or kindness I can show to any fellow human being. Let me do it now. Let me not defer nor neglect it -- For I shall not pass this way again. These words attributed to Stephen Grellet prefaced New Faces 1980 . Though chosen for you by upperclassmen who hardly knew you, these words expressed in an amaz- ingly prophetic way the spirit of the Class of 1980. You stand on the threshold of a new decade. The external events and traumas of the Seventies are too well chronicled to dwell on or repeat. In this microcosm, the Col- lege, we found in you a source for hope and renewed belief in the potential of our youth, Whatever the differences among you, the Class of 1980 and its individual nnembers reflected to us a spirit of Christian values, friendship, mutual support -- a resilience in interpersonal relationships that went beyond mere tolerance of each other ' s needs oi idiosyncracies. As I believe you have been enriched by your experiences with each other, I know you have enriched the College by your presence, your talent, and your service. Let me express our love and earnest hope for a richly rewarding life for each and everyone of you in this prayer for you. May our heavenly Father form in you the likeness of his Son and deepen that life in you. May he continue to strengthen you to be true witnesses of gospel joy in a world of fragile peace and broken promises. May you touch the hearts of all people with your love so that they in turn may love one another.

They are friendly toward everyone and genuinely supportive of one another.

Thou art more lovely and more temperate: Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, And summer ' s lease hath all too short a date: Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines. And often is his gold complexion dimm ' d; And every fair from fair sometime declines. By chance or nature ' s changing course untrimm ' d: But thy eternal summer shall not fade Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow ' st. Nor shall Death brag thou wand ' rest in his shade. When in eternal lines to time thou grow ' st; So long as men can breathe or eyes can see. So long lives this and this gives life to thee.

The strength that you need in order to live a full, fruitful life can only be found in God, so, keep close to Him and be aware that you can do everything, if you do it with Him. Sister Maria Ines Martin Chairman Sister Ann Edmund Carey A MODERN G u A G E 59 Norma Mallia was unavailable for a pic- ture; however, she was able to share some beautiful thoughts with us. The French Department extends its warmest good wishes to the Class of 1980. We hope that your chosen work will bring you self fulfillment and contribute to the quality of life in your circle and beyond. We hope the knowledge you ' ve acquired will become even more meaningful and alive as you see the plays you ' ve read, experience the origi- nals of the art you ' ve studied, and discover the historic sites of which you are now aware. We hope you ' ll make true and steadfast friendships to sustain you on your journey. There ' s no greater gift than a good friend. Be good, not because it pays (It very often doesn ' t!), but because it ' s better, all told, for you and all in contact with you. Le comte du Nouy in Human Destiny cites a Turkish proverb which appears in various versions in other cul- tures: When you were born you cried and all about you laughed. Conduct your life in such a way that when you die, you laugh and all about you weep. Dr. John Seekamp Dr. Robert Radus 60 PHILOSOPHY To the graduates of 1980 The chief value of your education lies not so much in the definite and fixed content of information, facts, and theories you have learned, but rather in the sense you have developed for what is possible for yourself and your world. Your education has not been merely a goal; it has also been the stirring up of the fires of imagination that will carry you through life, always moving you towards your highest potentialities and dreams. Best of luck and peace . . . always! Dr. Stanley A. Nevins Chairman Reverend John C.

We hope that as you enter a new part of your life you take with you a sense of reverence and appreciation for the physical universe of which you are a part. May the problems of energy, environ- ment, and dearth of physical resources which your generation is inheriting be met by you with a spirit of genuine con- cern and creative effort for the good of all humanity.

Under her careful supervision, the club presented memorable performances with the touch of sophistication only Mrs. Gilbert could provide. She will be sadly missed, and both her presence and cultural contributions to the college community will be remembered always. 80 CLUBS ACTIVITIES Enthusiasm Some of the most integral parts of ar y college experience are the clubs and activities that are provided by and for the students. Think of how boring a Friday night could have seemed had there not been an exciting Swamp (Swamps can be exciting?), or a Mixer to attend. Chapel Players productions have been nothing less than memorable, and who can forget the chills and thrills exhibited by the Men ' s and Women ' s basketball teams. (The games were fun to watch, too!!!) Considering the size of the school, there is a myriad of clubs and activities, any of which can appeal to even the meekest of students. They are all there for the taking, and it is up to the student to take advantage of them. Perhaps the best part is that they are all run by students who have taken the time to make the school a better and more enjoyable place to be. These clubs are not there because they have to be, they are there because the students want them to be. If we remember nothing else about the activities that took place, let ' s remember our year was always PSYCHED!!! Art Club Helen Minieri, President Mary Donahue, Vice-President Phyllis Rumore, Secretary-Treasurer Robert Keith Sidney Cay Margaret Skinner Margaret Russo Joanne Fox Joanne Richardson Susan Grant That ' s what Art Club is all about.

The club has provided an outlet for self- expression in a creative, artistic sense. This has been accomplished through physical exploration in time and space. The Modern Dance club has enriched the educational experience of all who have taken part in its vitality. 93 FIESTA EN VERA CRUZ Choreography by Jose Coronado Photograph by Otto M.

Some places that the club photographed were Brooklyn Heights, the Brooklyn Bridge, Chin- atown and other parts of Manhattan and Brooklyn. Black and white photographs taken, developed and printed by the members were displayed in the April 21 exhibit. This allowed the members to share their work with the entire college community.

Though we feel the need to look back at all that we have experienced, we also need to look ahead. We are at a turning point; old dreams are being replaced by new ones. Graduation from college is a dream that was once so far away. And here we stand so close to that day. Yet, we are still yearning — yearning for a chance to do more — to be more. We have come so far, but suddenly, it seems as though someone has secretly increased the distance. However, we face our new dreams with a renewed sense of the abilities we each possess. For we now know that what seems impossible can become a reality. In the years ahead, as we look back on our dreams, let us not toss them all aside in the name of idealism. Instead, we will try to remember that as we completed our time here, we shared the feelings and thoughts most dear to us. We verbalized our reasons for living. With that in mind, as the pages marking the end of our book are turned, we recall the words of William B. Yeats: But I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.
