All the times we're missing, Spending the hours reminiscing. The sands of time flow through the hourglass. Semesters turn into years. Our hours in school are numbered and fly by. Memories β Memories Fond remembrances accumulated to save - to store To be our future momentos and treasures. This year the Academe Staff of 1979 would like to demonstrate its deepest appreciation to a teacher who has given of herself completely to the education of students at Academy for the past thirty years. Miss Mary Hickey has mainly devoted her efforts to those anticipating a career in the business field by teaching Typing, first and second levels. Miss Hickey has also helped many students through job placement in various secretarial fields, thus enabling them to procure jobs even before graduation from high school. She also played a vital role in the school's extracurricular activities; since she had been the adviser to the Cheerleaders, the Junior Y-Teens, and the Business Club. As an educator. Miss Hickey commanded the utmost respect and admiration from those who came in contact with her. She was dedicated to the principles of education, and she has played a major part in the growth and maturation of the school and its student body through the years. It is with heartfelt regret that we bid farewell to Miss Mary Hickey; but, at the same time, we realize that the standards she has established will long remian despite her departure. In return for her tremendous contribution for the betterment of Academy High School, also her Alma Mater, we can only wish Miss Hickey the best of luck, good health, and happiness. In token of our fond memories, we dedicate this Academe to you, Mary E. Hickey. 5 Throughout the school year, Our Lion Spirit grew. Pep rallies, Football games. Victory, and even Consolation parties. All topped the endless list Of our yearlong festivities. From the gridiron in fall. To the diamond in spring. We realized in our hearts That we will always be number one! Monarchy in England, Communism in China, and Democracy, here at home, Working together to form a world peace β A peace that will lead us Ever closer to International Harmony - Not to an annihilating Third World War. Inflation, again, hit us hard. Bringing lower prices on Wall Street, a higher cost of living, and skyrocketing gold values To a country whose government Has changed dramatically In just seven short years, From Richard M. Nixon, To Gerald R. Ford, To james E. Carter. Who will lead us in 1980? 9 Bound together by that infinite bond ... The Lion Spirit ... Practicing long hours Our energy is limitless. As athletes, an unrelenting effort to strive for the Blue and Gold. With pennants and pom-poms and Spirit Club shirts, We've supported our teams ... Our hope - to win. We've fought for our victories Our aim β to win. The Lion's Battle Cry Reaches the gridiron, the pool, the court, the track, the mat Beyond the indestructible heights of the turrents to hours and days to be recalled ... to be remembered. 10 This year alone, Millions of Americans watched television programs ranging from Charlie's Angels to Battlestar Galactica. What's the great attraction to the tube? T.V. offers viewers what they like to see: Melodrama, comedy, violence, and, on occasions, an educational show. Most importantly, though, Television is an escape to an unknown world of excitement, adventure, and fun. β srivism tlAllONΒ Between their favorite T.V. programs, American passed the time by going to movies. Films like Saturday Night Fever and Close Encounters appealed to our senses. And Americans began to make disco-dancing a pastime and U.F.O. sightings the vogue. We have grown and changed so much with the movies that it seems as if they will always play a part in forming our ideas and our lives. 13 President Jimmy Carter, Striving to make bonds Between other countries and ours, Moved on toward his goal with numerous Camp David Peace talks But was thwarted by problems in Iran and the war in Vietnam. We wonder what the outcomes will be. As every day affects our Tomorrow. I β’ Finland By Laurie Cehrlein Time, going back to the summer spent in Finland ... The beautiful calm and gentle blue lakes. The many bushy, dark green trees with big moose running freely in the forest, like flags soaring proudly in the sky. I can feel the steam rising, When water was being thrown onto the coals ... Quick flashes of heat, gasping for breath. The spontaneous reaction of running out of the sauna and into the cool depths of the lake. The different languages being spoken, confusing, not understanding ... 15 Ever so carelessly, We let time escape us β Wasting precious seconds, minutes, and hours, worring about what the future holds for us; Forgetting that it can be more fun to reminisce.

Sparaga Daily Routine Dean Edmund Scott A new world is born to me every morn, A new world to conquer each day; New problems to solve prompt a deepened resolve To master each task on life's way. One step at a time, systematically prime, Consistent with honest desire, Will help to achieve the result we perceive In success the ambitious acquire. Each morning I scan all the work that I plan To be done in daily routine, Then check, one by one, all the things to be done In sequence devoutly serene. And when I pitch in with a firm will to win And with faith in guidance devine. There's always reward when the minutes record All faithful endeavors of mine. c u R R I C U L U M Principals perform daily duties Academy was guided through an- other outstanding year as Mr. Don- ald DeNardo directed students and faculty alike in their educational and extra-curricular activities. Assistant principals, Mrs. Bertha Blau and Mr. Donald Zonno, were invaluable aides in all aspects of running the school, including disciplinary tactics and attendence.

Mr. Zonno is always willing to help a student 21 Cooperation achieves results Joseph Rouse: Counselor Charles Verdecchia: Counselor No problem was too small for our counselors, who, in spite of the ab- sences of a girls' counselor, did their best to help students. Career guid- ance counseling was a large part of their responsibility, and scholarship information was available, as well as tuition and entrance applications for seniors. College Night played a large part in this, as area colleges were given a chance to present their pro- grams to the general public. Person- al service was the main goal and was usually achieved. 22 Second-semester arrivals, Carole Lunger and Gordon Kennedy, are welcomed to Academy by Mr. Rouse. lay Buchanan: Counselor 23 People behind the scenes Although the office was able to pro- ceed this year without the services of a third secretary, it was not an easy task. The hard-working secre- taries proved indispensable as records were filed, correspondence was sent, and other essential duties pertaining to the organization of Academy High School were carried out. Mrs. Donocoff shrugs her shoulders saying. I'm only 20 transcripts behind' 24 The library served a dual purpose β that of a reading and a study hall and a resource center. Fiction, biog- raphy, reference, and nonfiction ma- terials all were available for use by the student body.

This year math courses concentrated on teaching new and rewarding techniques in solving problems. Freshmen diligently tackled their equations in Algebra 1; meanwhile, sophomores faithfully memorized their theorems and postulates.

Get me some soil! Aware of the expanding bounds of scientific discoveries, the Science Department kept abreast of new de- velopments, utilizing the latest in lab equipment, textbooks, and tech- niques. Freshmen selected classes in Earth and Space Science and Envi- ronmental Science, while Soph- omores enrolled in Biology or Hon- ors Biology. Upperclassmen tackled Physics, Chemistry, and Biology lab work, while others opted for Honors Chemistry or AP Biology and Phys- ics. They also enjoyed science ex- cursions which took them to the Ontario Science Center, Biology Day at Gannon College, and the North- west Regional Labs. These field trips were very interesting to the students and broadened their scientific knowledge as well. 28 loseph Haas Biology, A.P. Biology To give and not to count the cost.

The Industrial Arts classes β Wood- shop, Machine Shop, Home Im- provement Shop, and Drafting β drew their share of interesting stu- dents this year. Care in handling tools, precision in drawing of blue prints, instruction in home repairs, and skill and safety in operating general shop machinery proved beneficial to those who enrolled in those classes. Senior Trades offered students an opportunity at their own pace to develop vocational skills that would prepare them to find employment upon completion of high school. 31 A.

Students master foreign languages Another event-filled year marked the accomplishments of the Lan- guage Department. Special classes of cultural interest including songs, customs, and conversational aspects of langauge were taught in French, Spanish, and German. Many teach- ers were able to supplement these with slides and personal insights gained from their own journeys to Europe and North and South Amer- ica. Robert Rohde: Eng. 9, 10; Ger. 1, 2 I care! Do you? 34 Students create their talents HOME ECONOMICS Students in Home Economics learned the values of daily living. Raising children, apartment living, bachelor survival, and consumer economics were all aspects of studying. Clothing classes concentrated on fabric selection, color coordination, and sewing techniques. ARTS AND CRAFTS In the Arts and the Crafts classes, aspiring artists found themselves expressing their creativity on canvas with watercolors and in ceramics and sculpture Photography was also introduced Whether abstract or Renaissance, the freedom of expression was evident in the new art showcase, situated outside the library, which featured students' weekly projects. Patricia Zalas: Home Ec. 1, 2; Individual Living βLet's get cooking! English Competence in all aspects of the English language was the goal set for students in the English courses. Those who participated gained in- sight into great literature by reading novels by Hemingway, Melville, Steinbeck, and many others. The dramatic significance was explored by the indepth study of βHamlet, Macbeth, The Theban Plays, Death of a Salesman, and Julius Ceasar. Grammar was stressed as an essen- tial element in preparing reports, critical reviews, and term papers. As an extra offering, loan Murray, Poet -in-the-classroom, taught a week- long course in poetic expression to any interested students, and A.P. English students traveled to Strat- ford, Ontario for the annual Shake- spearean Festival. Seniors attended Gannon College's stage production of βHamlet in November to en- hance their knowledge of that tragic hero. assists in communication Noel Burgoyne: English 11,11H; Speech.

Let's face reality. History students had the chance to analyze and read about significant events in the history of the world. Political, economic, and social is- sues all played their part, both past and present. Sociology involved the study of group functions and the individual's role in the group. Citi- zenship Education for ninth graders taught the basics in constitutional rights and government organization. 39 Louis DiBacco: Modern American Cultures 11 Roll 'em! Frederick Guenther: A.P.

Electives prove to be rewarding BUSINESS For those interested in going on to the business world, Academy's Com- mercial Department offered an efficient line of courses aimed at developing proficiency in clerical skills. Courses were taught in Book- keeping, Typing, Personal Typing and Notetaking, Stenography, Office Practice, Mimeo, and Business Law. MUSIC Students interested in the musical arts had a wide variety of classes in which to enroll: Orchestra, Band, Stage Band, Choir, Academy Singers, Strings, Girls' Chorus, and a newly- added Jazz Improvisation class.

He who does not hope to win has already lost. The Special Education and Senior Trades Department concentrated on developing individual students' tal- ent in academics, mechanics and woodworking. Each student was re- sponsible for several projects featur- ing a different technique of the trade. In academic matters, each stu- dent was working at his own pace, and whenever possible had the op- portunity to join in advanced classes. Rebecca Hamilton: Special Education Some days a teacher feels like old Mother Hubbard who went to the cupboard, but when she got there the cupboard was bare. 44 Casimir Szymanowicz: Learning Disabilities Daniel DiTullio: Special Education Too bad I'm only here half a day! Not too shabby! Anthony LaRocco Come on. Przepierski Nobody has all three lunches! Think! Then act like you're thinking! 45 Phys. Ed promotes healthy bodies Students again participated in physi- cal education and health classes in order to earn yearly credits. Boys, who took gym, enjoyed playing bas- ketball, football, and the required calisthenics. Girls' gym consisted of 6-week courses of volleyball, gym- nastics, and basketball. Health stu- dents learned first aid, nutrition, and oral hygiene. Robert Morgan: Phys.

Pride, enthusiasm, and, of course, Spirit ,.. nowhere was there to be found more exuberance and partici- pation than in the newly formed Academy Spirit Club. Early in the year the Student Senate Clubs' Com- mittee suggested the forming of an organization to promote school spir- it and to create more excitement at Pep Rallies. Tee-Shirts, emblazoned with the motto, βRaise a Little Hell, were sold to 160 people and worn to football and basketball games, as the Lions cheering section grew by leaps and bounds. For transportation to the football games, the Spirit Club organized car caravans with as many as 25 cars, carrying over 100 screaming fans with police escort to the McDowell Stadium. Using Sen- ate appropriated funds, the Spirit Club brought the lion mascot cos- tume, a symbol that stood for friends and foes to see that, βThe Lions Roar Again. 164 Members ol the Academy Spirit Club prepare for the upcoming rally.

Schneider Clubs plan strategies The Academy Chess Club, meeting at their convenience, devoted the majority of this year to improving individual skills. Beginning players were coached by older players, and a mastery of the basic skills was gained. By practicing professional and original strategies, interscholastic competition dwindled away, as well as com- petitors in the Y.M.C.A. Tournament. Afro-American Club The Afro-American Club, open to everyone, was formed so students could familiarize themselves with the roles of Black people in today's society and also the contributions that they have made in the past. The club also promotes and produces an assembly during Afro-American His- tory Week in February. The club went on excursions to pre- dominately black colleges to en- lighten the members of college life. The Alfro-American Club is also ac- tive in the community, by holding dances at the Holland Drug Action Center. From Row β E. Lyons, |. Rivera, S. Page, M M. laycox, D. Wayne, C Walker, |. Wayne, E.

The Senate endorsed several new clubs β Drama Club, Spirit Club, and the jousting Club. Also, to raise money for the Homecoming and to balance the deficit, the solons sold candy bars, sponsored Carnation-Day, and held several other fund raisers.

National Honor Society, the elite of the school grade-wise, once again served as a useful catalyst for pro- moting school improvements. Pro- ceeds from a pizza raffle went to a deserving Academy organization. A true picture of the workings of international affairs was seen by the members of Academy's Model U.N. Delegation which represented Vene- zuela. Various committee resolu- tions were proposed, such' as major- ity rule in South Africa, the Middle East crisis, world hunger and malnu- trition solutions, and nuclear prolife- ration among world powers. This whole program was sponsored by Gannon College's Social Studies De- partment, which organized the Gen- eral Assembly Day, in which all par- ticipating schools met to vote on legislation.

STAR increases school interest Staff members of the STAR, Acad- emy's student voice, gained ex- perience in all the facets of publish- ing a news-magazine. Art work and photography graced the pages of the award-winning periodical, which contained articles on sports and school events, editorials, and school gossip. The Starlight, literary magazine extraordinare, showcased the writing talent flourishing at Academy. A total of six issues, a Christmas Hanukkah issue, and the Senior Last Will and Testament, were completed and distributed to a receptive student body. Co-editors, Gene Grygo and |im Cohen along with adviser Mrs. McConnell, played a large part in the STAR'S successful year, by working diligently to make deadlines, and making the most of Academy's budding journalists.

Sometimes operating four typewriters at a time, the Academe staff struggled for many long hours after school, in order to meet unrea- listic, exasperating deadlines. In many instances, photos had to be continually taken and retaken. Un- derclassmen constituted . a majority of the staff this year; therefore, much talent will be available in the years to come. A special thanks to our editors, Matt Dennison, Laurie Cehrlein, and Sandy Davis, for their dedication and enthusiasm. The Academe Business Staff was an integral part of our yearbook. This group was responsible for keeping track of subscriptions and produc- tion costs, paying the bills, and also handling the publicity. Thanks to the cooperation between business and literary sections, the 79 Aca- deme is a book that will, hopefully, long be remembered.

Concerts were held at Christmas and in the spring, and our group was honored as being the first high school group ever chosen to perform with the Erie lunior Philhar- monic Orchestra. Members of the chorus and choir learned to harmo- nize as a group and also perfected their individual abilities. βSwing Choirβ was a welcome addition to the repertoire of the Academy Sing- ers and delighted audiences at every performance. Assemblies at Acad- emy and other schools added ex- citement to the year, which can happily be remembered by all, be- cause of the recordings made of the spring and winter concerts. The year's highlight was the trip to Phila- delphia in the spring, when our choir performed with the top choral groups in the state. Academy Singers β Front: B Gante, N. Giles. N. Baxter. B.

Varsity Captain Laurie Gehrlein and Co-Captain Sharon Becker led the yell-squad in cheer- ing their teams to victory, with the help of Junior Varsity Captain Barb Wood. Cheerleading uniforms were supplied for the first time by the School District; and as another first, two boys. Brad White and Kris Kauf- mann, were added to the squad, serving on both Varsity and lunior Varsity. Sales of book covers, license plates, folders, and other items sup- plied the needed income for the Varsity Cheerleaders to enable them to attend a cheerleading camp at Slippery Rock State College last summer, earning two superior rib- bons and one excellent ribbon. |.V.

Youth has so much and thinks how empty age is With only dreams of things of long ago; But we who sit and turn life's lovely pages ... What joy we know! The more the years, the more our sorrows soften. The more the years the more they turn to gold; Yes, life's a tale though told however often. That fairer grows with every time it's told. Youth has today and youth is young and clever. Age only yesterdays of smiles and tears; And yet the past grows lovelier forever... The more the years.

High stands our Alma Mater Overlooking lake and town; High in our hearts we cherish Her ideals and fair renoun; Noble in her grace and beauty, In her service frank and free; Training lives in truth and duty. Honor, trust, and loyalty. Then we'll work and fight for her honor, And we'lll work and fight for her fame; And well serve a right in the world's great fight. We will ever uphold her name; For her sturdy sons are so valiant And her maidens so kind and true. Oh! We'll Carry On till the stars are gone For Academy The Gold and Blue! 199 It seems like only yesterday when we were Freshmen, a bit timid and naive about our new surroundings, yet anxious to begin a new phase of our lives. It did not take very long until we were familiar with the building, the teachers, and our fellow classmates. The year served as a trial period of becoming acclimated to more homework, more people of different back- grounds, and more responsibilities placed upon us. In tenth grade, we felt proud that we were no longer the babies of the school. That meant we would never again be harassed by upperclassmen; we began to feel more comfortable with the idea of being in high school and attempted to make as many friends as possible. Many of us became interested in school social functions and outside activities. As Juniors, we became the future leaders of the school; thus demanding that we set an example that the rest of the school could follow. We worked dili- gently inside and outside of school, with many of us working at part-time jobs. Soon we began to make plans for the future - whatever it may hold in store for us. Our rank in class also began to concern us, since we knew that our Senior year would fly by. Upon entering the twelfth grade, the prom, senior banquet, and graduation became our main consid- erations. We began to plan our careers, whether we had employment or college in mind. Many of us toiled endlessly throughout the year on term papers, essays, and Canterbury Tales. We found every moment of our time absorbed in school and social activities. Senior expenses seemed insurmountable and many of us had to go without lunch to pay for caps and gowns, cards and announcements, and many other things. We got through it all, though, and came out with flying colors. (Blue and Gold) As we conclude another year in the annals of Academy history, we hope that we have given as much to the school, as it has given us. throughout our four years, we have grown, matured, and made lifelong friendships. To Academy we bid a fond ADIEU. If you love something. set It free. If It comes bock to you. it Is yours. If It doesn't, it never was. 200 PATRONS Action Printing and Business Forms Allen-Schaaf Insurance Agency Alliance Home of Erie Altman-Hall Associates Drs.
