Kennedy, local and national news combine to form The World of 1986-87 January As the rest of the United States was bundled-up in sweaters and earmuffs to combat the plunging tem- peratures, another scale was plunging . . . The Dow Jones Industrial average. On January 8, 1986, Wall Street was shocked as it reached an all-time low plunge of 39.10 points. January was also a month for famous birthdays and births. On the 11th, Actress Jessica Lange gave birth to a daughter, Hannah, by Sam Sheppard. Comedian George Bums reached the ripe old age of ninety — still energetic and still funny on the 20th. Where there are beginnings, there must also be ends, however. L. Ron Hubbard, founder of Dianetics” and the Church of Scientology died at the age of seventy- four on the 24th. And, speaking of numbers, the Chicago Bears demolished the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XX, 46-10. Truly, the 27th of January was a happy day for Soviet dissident Anatoly Shchar- ansky, freed on this day. On the vein of freedom, now every third Monday of January will be set aside for the commemoration of Mar- tin Luther King Jr., fifteen years after his death. Op- posing the bill at first, Reagan later conceded due to the overwhelming support in both houses of Congress. On January 28, 1986, the world witnessed a tragedy. The space shuttle Challenger exploded seven- ty-three seconds into its flight. Millions watched as the shutde, along with its crew, went up in a cloud of smoke. Included in the millions of viewers were the students of Christa McAulif- 6 fe, the first teacher in space, who was onboard Chal- lenger. February February got off on a chilly start for President Reagan’s son, Ron Reagan, as he dan- ced in his underwear on Saturday Night Live in a sketch spooring the movie Risky Business. Lee Iacocca was removed from the Statue of Liberty Restoration Com- mittee on February 12th, and John Zaccaro, Jr. was arrested on cocaine charges on the 17th. With the fleeing of Ferd- inand Marcos from the Philippines on the 25th, hope for the future was restored to the Filipino people. Corazon Aquino, 53, was inaugurated on this day and took the inauguration oath which established her as the President of the Philippines. The 26th brought the United States its first poet laureate — Robert Penn Warren, and on the 28th Olof Palme, Swedish Prime Minister was assassinated. March On March 1, the Great Peace March for Nuclear Disarmament began in Los Angeles. These dedicated peace marchers treked across the United States on foot toward Washington. On a $1.71-a-day-per-person ration, the marchers sur- vived a fifteen to twenty mile a day average. The deaths of three im- portant people occurred in February: Georgia O'Keeffe, painter, 98, on the 7th; Jacob Javits, senator, 81, on the 7th, and James Cagney, actor, 86, on the 30th. Justice goes undone on the campus of Brown Univer- sity when the college decides All roads lead to Con- shohocken... not to discipline students im- plicated in a sex-for-pay ring. Many hoped that justice would not be altered when on the 18th when Lyndon LaRouche-linked candidates win in an Illinois Democratic primary. Another question for the balancing scales: Amy Carter was arrested for trespassing in Providence, Rhode Island, at a sit-in op- posing IBM’s South African investments. What began on the 24th would foreshadow the remainder of 1986 as the United States and Libya clash over the line of death.” Many other Americans are outraged that outstanding movie, The Color Purple, nominated for eleven Oscars, doesn’t win any. In keeping with the altruism which seems to have become the trademark of the eighties, comedians sponsor Comic Relief which airs on HBO on the 29th. April Altruism may have become a recurring feature in our decade, but a more horrible and security- threatening trend has ap- peared once too often: terrorism. On April 2, four American citizens died in a TWA bomb blast over Greece. As tension escalated, another attack, this time in a West Berlin discotheque, happened on the 5th. The bombings, linked to Libya and other radical Middle Eastern factions, resulted in Reagan's stem reaction of bombing Libya on the 14th. Another tragedy blanketed April and the Ukraine on the 26th as a reactor fire at the Soviet Chernobyl nuclear power plant released a radioactive cloud detected by an alarm in Sweden, 800 miles away. Thirty-one Soviets died in the reactor fire and it was estimated that the radioactivity — more than what was released at Nagasaki and Hiroshima — may eventually cause at least 4,000 deaths. April was not a total month ... well, they used to. (Photographs by lack Coll) %� of sadness. Clint Eastwood celebrated his election as mayor of Carmel-by-the-Sea, California on the 8th, and Hugh Hefner celebrated his sixtieth birthday on the 9th at a mansion-bash. Un- fortunately for Hefner, on the day after, Playboy magazine were pulled from the shelves of 4500 7-Eleven stores nationwide. Another flop: Geraldo Rivera in- trigues the nation into wat- ching the most highly Neilsen-rated television show about the revealing of the secret contents of A1 Capone’s vault. What was revealed? Absolutely nothing. Wedding bells chimed on the 26th for former Mr. Olympia Arnold Schwarz- enegger and journalist Maria Shriver. Who said brains and brawn don’t mix? May May was certainly a month for celebrities. Dolly Parton opened her theme park in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee and loan Rivers decided to aban- don Johnny Carson and quit The Tonight Show. Celebrity babies flourished this month: Meryl Streep gave birth to her third child, Grace; Tatum O’Neal and John McEnroe have a son, Kevin. Rocker Tommy Lee married television’s Heather Locklear on the 10th, and Vanna White’s boyfriend, John Gibson, died in a plane crash on the 17th. The ever-turbulent Phil Donahue had a misfortunate run-in with a Lyndon LaRouche disciple at LaGuardia airport on the 11th, slugging it out with him. Still, a bright spot glim- mers on the 1986 calendar: on the 25th millions of Americans joined hands in support of our own poor in the feat everyone thought could never be ac- complished, Hands Across America. June The Amnesty In- ternational Tour, a call for the freeing of wrongly-held political prisoners ended in New Jersey on the 15th. Am- nesty’s objective is to peacefully free or better the conditions of prisoners by sending personal letters of outrage collecteld by all citizens to the oppressive government. Because of the tour and the support of millions around the world, the South African govern- ment acquitted and released Thozamlle Gqweta. The nation turned its eyes toward the serious drug problem in the U.S. when University of Maryland basketball star Len Bias died at twenty-two of a cocaine overdose, two days after becoming the Boston Celtics’ first-round draft choice. The tragedy sparked immediate action by Congress who passed a no-expense-barred anti-drug bill. Bias died while celebrating his draft pick on the 19th. Citizens also mourned the death of two other greats: Benny Goodman, 77, on the 13th and Kate Smith, 79, on the 17th. The decision of the Supreme Court on the 30th outraged many in the nation while others saw it as a step toward the renewal of morality. On this day, the Court upheld laws banning sodomy. July July went off with a big bang in more than one way this year. The July 4th celebration commemorated more than our inde- pendence. After a two year make-over, Miss Liberty was ready to join in the grandest Fourth of July ever. Twenty- eight minutes of awesome fireworks emblazoned the New York sky in what Mayor Ed Koch described as the best fireworks since Nero set Rome on fire.” But, the noise wasn’t only in New York. It wasn’t on the Fourth that Conshohocken residents felt and heard an explosion . .. the destruction of the Matsonford Bridge as we knew it. That’s all everyone needed to hear. With the reconstruction and redevelopment of The Schuylkill Expressway, the Turnpike, and many other local roads, area residents found travel difficult enough. Now, an alternate route had to be found in or- der to reach the already car- dense expressway. Progress? Well, the new bridge under construction boasts an estimated cost of twelve million dollars and is projec- ted to aide the already developing borough of Con- 7 shohocken’s business district. I was shocked. Alissa DiCicco, Kennedy sopho- more, not only heard fire- works on the Fourth of July but she also witnessed the screams and cheers of fans along Fayette street as she rolled her way to victory in the Conshohocken Soap Box Derby. In future months, this first place trophy would take her to more places than just the winner’s circle ... to Akron, Ohio, and a guest spot on Good Morning America. Speaking of winners, Boris Becker, 18, won Wimbledon for the second straight year on the 6th, and Mikhail Baryshnikov became a U.S. citizen on the 3rd. On the 14th, Doctor Robert Ballard and his crew explore the Titanic. Back on dry land, Attorney General Edwin Meese, on the 9th, stood under a semi- nude female statue (the sup- posed woman of justice) and delivered his pornography commission's report. It called for serious attack on our nation’s pornography and urged immediate citizen action. In the English royal tradition, Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson married on the 23rd, com- plete with pageantry, parades, and pomp. Another wedding became big news in luly. Caroline Kennedy (daughter of the late president lohn F. Kennedy) married Edwin Schlossberg on the 19th. Boy George caused a big stink on the 29th when he admitted his heroin ad- diction in court, but the city of Philadelphia had the wor- st smell of all. From the 1st to the 21st, garbagemen striked for pay raises and better benefits while citizens suf- fered. August August began on a smashing note when tennis pro John McEnroe married Tatum O’Neal on the first. Zsa Zsa Gabor never seems to tire of marriage; she wed her eighth husband, Prince Frederick von Anhalt, on the 14th. But, while Zsa Zsa was en- joying her cake, President Reagan was back in Washington approving the disinformation policy to scare Libya. Other Washington news: Congress passed the new tax-reform bill on the 16th. The White House underwent some serious security reassessment when Nancy Reagan's personal maid, After winning the Con- shohocken Soap Box Derby, Alissa DiCicco packed her bags and headed for Akron, Ohio. Although she did not win, she did appear on Good Morning America. Anita Castelo, was indicted on the 27th for attempted gun smuggling. America said “good-bye to many well-known people in August. Roy Cohn, 59, died of AIDS on the 2nd. Actor Ted Knight, 62, passed away on the 26th, and sculptor Henry Moore died at eighty-eight on the 31st. Tragedy struck on August 20th in Oklahoma when a postal worker killed fourteen co-workers, then shot himself. September Almost everyone remem- bers actress Whoopi Gold- berg — if not for her acting then for her unique name — and it was on the first of Sep- tember that she married David Claessen. Cathy Evelyn Smith will be un- fortunately remembered as the girlfriend to John Belushi who was “respon- sible” for his death. She was sentenced on the 2nd to three years in jail for ad- ministering the fatal drug dose which killed him. Another drug-related arrest in Tinseltown happened on the 24th; Joey Heatherton was indicted for possession of cocaine. On the brighter side of Hollywood, Cagney Lacey's Sharon Gless finally won an Emmy on the 21st. For those who lived through the turbulent Hostage crisis at the end of Carter's administration, they witnessed the fleeing of the Shah of Iran. His son, however, has not forgotten his claim to his homeland throne. On the 5th, Reza Pahlavi made a pirate TV Broadcast in Iran vowing, I will return.” America rejoiced on the 29th as jour- nalist Nicholas Daniloff was released from the Soviet Union. Kennedy was brought back to life after its summer sleep on the third when freshmen entered high school doors for the first time as full-fledged students. October Perhaps the most con- troversial and political bill was passed on the floor of Congress this 2nd of October. Congress imposed economic sanctions on South Africa in protest of its apartheid gover- nment, overriding President Reagan’s veto. Many felt that the sanctions would hurt those blacks already suf- fering from the govern- ment's racist and oppressive laws. Others believed this would show South Africa that our nation would not support a country whose beliefs went beyond violating civil rights. Crime news was quite prevalent in October, af- fecting a wide range of citizens. The almost in- vulnerable Dan Rather was mugged walking home in New York City on the 4th. The criminal trial of John DeLorean began in Detroit on the 6th. A former automobile wizard, his charges included rack- eteering, mail fraud, and tax evasion. Edward Marks was sentenced to twenty-seven years in jail for putting rat poison in drugs on the 30th. The fifth proved to be an embarrassing day for First Lady Nancy Reagan — she fell off a White House stage while descending. While on the subject of First Ladies, Comedian Chevy Chase was reported under treatment at the Betty Ford addiction cen- ter on the 10th for painkillers. The pills were used, ironically enough, because of back pain caused by Chase’s excessive falling during President Ford skits on Saturday Night Live. October 5th also was the day when pilot Eugene Hasenfus was shot down over Nicaragua while flying supplies to the contras. Hasenfus was held, later tried and convicted in Managua. The United States insisted on his release. Jean- Bedel Bokassa, ex-emperor 8 of Central African Republic, returned from exile in Fran- ce and was arrested for mur- der and cannibalism on the 23rd. The Reykjavik summit between Reagan and Gor- bachev, held on October 11- 12, ended abruptly after the two superpowers could not agree on Reagan’s Star Wars defense plan. At last but not least, The New York Mets defeated the Boston Red Sox in the seventh game of the World Series, October 27, 1986. No Kennedy student could forget the afternoon of Oc- tober 17th. At approximately 1:30, on this Friday af- ternoon, a particularly mischievious squirrel caused utter pandamonium. Obviously not an acrobat, this squirrel attempted a regretful feat. By touching both electrical wires simultaneously, he was elec- trocuted and short circuited the school’s wiring. As a result, alarms sounded and two fire trucks, an am- bulance (for the squirrel, perhaps?), and police cars all jammed themselves in Ken- nedy's circle. They were prepared for the worst, but all they heard were tails of an electrified squirrel. November A catastrophic chemical disaster marked the begin- ning of November, 1986. A burning warehouse in Swit- zerland emptied a deadly chemical spill into the Rhine River, turning it ran- cid. Back in America, Anita Castelo was cleared of gun- running charges, the Democrats gained control of the Senate, and big- businessman Ivan Boesky was fined $100 million for insider trading. However, the most shocking story to hit the United States began to unfold When an unlucky squirrel performed his high wire act, not only did we get a visit from the fire company, but we also were dismissed early. with the release of hostage David Jacobsen in Lebanon. Most agreed that Anglican envoy Terry Waite was a fac- tor in the release of Jacobsen. Yet, with his freeing came reports that Waite was not the only factor involved and that the United States had ventured into arms deals with Iran. The situation escalated on the 19th when Reagan, in a speech to the nation, admits to sending arms to Iran. The Senate In- vestigating Committee im- mediately ensued in- vestigations to determine whether a law had been violated. It was then discovered that the funds acquired from the sale of these arms were deferred to the Nicaraguan contras. Still, amongst the Washington chaos, a more admirable ideal was being upheld. On the 15th, the Peace Marchers who had started in Los Angeles months before finally arrived in D.C. December In continuing the 'Tran- seam saga, on December 1, Lt. Col. Oliver North began congressional testimony con- cerning the transferring of funds to contra rebels. Search for Tomorrow” airs its last episode after thir- ty-five years on the air on the 26th; it was the longest run of any TV drama. January January's blistering cold brought the biggest snowstorm to hit the Delaware Valley in years. The 22nd gave the Philadelphia area up to thir- teen inches of snow. Cape May and many other Jersey shore points were even hard- er hit on the 26th. Cape May received an estimated nineteen inches of snow — its total projected snowfall for three years. The 27th marked the 20th anniversary of the Apollo Fire, and ironically, the 28th represented a year which had passed for the Challenger explosion. History does repeat itself. Maria Iannozzi A MEDITATION God has created me to do Him some definite ser- vice; He has committed some work to me which He has not committed to another. I have my mission — I may never know it in this life, but I shall be told it in the next. I am a link in a chain, a In Memoriam Courtney Rambo bond of connection bet- ween persons. He has not created me for naught. I shall do good, I shall do His work. I shall be an angel of peace, a preacher of truth in my own place while not in- tending it — if I do but keep His Com- mandments. - Cardinal Newman 9 Being a Senior, Maureen Kloss is familiar with the Christine Zaradnick wel- rooms throughout Kennedy, comes her mom to Parent's She helps guide a parent to Night. the correct room. Parents, students, and the community sometimes get to see Kennedy from the ... Outside Looking In Kennedy is a special place. Students and faculty experience Ken- nedy’s atmosphere on a daily basis, but they are not the only people who witness our school's spirit. Often, throughout the school year, the ad- ministration organizes ac- tivities which allow “out- siders” a good look at the inside of Kennedy’s halls. Back to School Night in September provided a chance for parents to get acquainted with their child’s teachers. They went to the student’s respective classes and spoke to the teachers about the class. Sister Mary Joseph, Studies Director, describes the purpose of the night: “We wanted the teachers, in their presentation, to provide the parents with what they expected from their classes, their grading system, and the content of their course.” The eighth grade classes of the feeder parishes in surrounding communities visit Kennedy on a special In-Service day. On November 14, grade school students were treated to a day filled with the variety that Kennedy offers. The day began with a liturgical service and a few words from guest speaker Ed Stivender. Af- ter going through a series of course introductions, the eighth graders com- peted in school teams in an obstacle course set up in Tracy Hall. The Night at the Races, run by the grid club, is a fund raiser whose profits go toward the general fund for all of Kennedy’s sports and activities. Parents are admitted for a dollar and bet on a filmed horse race. Although this year was not as successful as some of the others, it did manage to raise about $2,000 for the school. I think people need to un- derstand that it raises money for the entire school activity and sport program, not just foothall, says Mr. Bockrath who directed this year's event. “The lack of attendance hurt but I think that was due to the fact that the night has run its course and that people really need to realize that it is a fund raising event.” 10 What decisions! Kennedy parents try to decide on a winning horse at the Night at the Races. Doing her Student Council duty, Janine Williams gives a lost parent directions to their child's classroom. Almost! Just a little more! The visiting 8th grade classes fight to win the title of the Tug-of-War Champs! 11 Although Terp is only around the corner, working in her son's office, her par- ting left a void in the lives of the students. During the opening liturgy of the school year, the faculty and student body honored Terp for her twenty eight years of dedication and ser- vice, endless support and un- dying love for the students. Today's seniors, yesterday's freshman, get tips from Terp on how to do it right. 12 Mrs. Catherine Terpeluk, or “Terp” as we lovingly call her, says good-bye to Kennedy ... When Duty Calls Terp. An infamous name for an infamous person. On meeting alum- ni, their usual question, “Is so and so still there?” almost always refers to Mrs. Catherine Terpeluk. Remaining at Kennedy since before it even was called “Kennedy,” Terp saw classes come and go. Yet, she always seemed to leave a soft impression, one of care and kindness, on all who knew her. Terp left her spirit in Tracy Hall, and to show our ap- reciation for all that she as given us, Kennedy commemorated her at a school mass this past fall. Needless to say, there was a standing ovation. The Kencensus: How do you feel about Kennedy? Catherine Terpeluk: I really evolved with what I knew was there ... It was a wonderful place for me to do God's work and I think I accomplished that and that is why I was so happy here. It was cer- tainly the right thing for me to do and I think that feeling comes when you evaluate the situation. I felt very good about being with the students because I recognized their needs. Being there so long, I watched the needs change. When I first went there, Health would be taught as brushing your teeth or your hair ... It evolved into sex education, drugs, and alcohol. As society changed, the needs of the kids changed. That’s why I felt so good about doing what I thought was the right thing. K: Did you have any special moments at Ken- nedy? Terp: I guess the special moments I had were when I looked at a kid who was ready to graduate and I remem- bered how they were when they came in as a freshman. That happened many, many times. I had most of the girls from when they were fourteen till they were eighteen. Through those four years, you could see them change from freshman to young ladies to sophisti- cated young ladies as sen- iors. That to me was re- warding. K: What made you decide to move on? Terp: It really was time for me to step back and see what had happened because I just had this in- ner feeling like This is the time.” It was time for me to move on, time to go. 13 Taking a break from the in- door activities, these Sophomore boys play a friendly game of football. Along with the rest of the Senior class, Kathy Stillman shows her enthusiasm on Blue and White Day. Red, blue, green and yellow — not in a rainbow, but in Tracy Hall. Blue and White Day is perhaps the most anticipated day of the Spirit Week festivities. No classes are held on this day in Oc- tober and students come donned in color-coded sweats — green for frosh, blue for sophs, red for juniors, and yellow for seniors — all Tracy lit up with vibrant color. The indoor events such as tug-of-war, sack races, balloon-popping races, and relay teams among all the classes ended up with the seniors on top with the most points. The cheers of the students echoed in Tracy as the classes rooted for their representatives. Chants like Go Seniors!” and “Sophomores rule! could be heard on Fayette Street. Th outdoor events gave students a chance to take a deep breath and relax after the tense excitement during the indoor events. Volleyball, softball, and other games were played on the Kennedy grounds until the gym was set up for the pep rally. Students filed into the gym, eagerly awaiting the coming event. The sports teams paraded through the center of Tracy Hall to the tune of “When the Saints Go Marching In,” and the cheerleaders treated everyone with their annual dance routine. After an uplifting speech by Chris Bello, the Homecoming King was announced. Brian Schaf- fer accepted the title and students cheered as he strutted around the gym donned with crown and scepter. Then, on stage, Brian declared his im- mortal words, “You know it, it’s great to be king.” Saint’s pride shines in September for the ... Blue and White 14 Dawn Walsh and Andy Stim- mler struggle to pop the Jeff Malazita always wanted balloon in one of the events. to be a cheerleader. A helping hand makes the day more fun. While relaxing on the gym floor, Mark Mitchell and joe Polowczuk have a lot to say about the day’s events. Kennedy welcomes our new Homecoming Queen, Collet- te Nally, who is being escor- ted by Bob Salazar. The camera catches Kim Jackonski for an instant as she makes her way down Fayette Street. The class of 1990 shows that a little bit of rain will not dampen their spirits. 16 Float, game, and dance, Kennedy celebrates ... A Fall Homecoming Homecoming weekend is perhaps the most ex- citing of the entire school year. From the Friday af- ternoon float preparations to the Saturday night dan- ce, Saints’ Pride rings loud and clear. For the parade, before Friday night’s game, each class decorated a truck ac- cording to their particular theme. The floats, along with the cheerleaders, fire trucks, convertibles carrying the Court, and the rest of the student body, parade through Conshohocken singing and cheering. The parade finishes at their final destination: the A-field. Here, the audience cheers on as the Homecoming Court pulls in. The game begins. Ar- chbishop Kennedy vs. the unbeaten Oxford Valley. The Saints lead and end with a 14-12 victory. Cap- tain T. J. McGuire says, It was a great team effort, an emotional win.” T. J. goes on to say, “It’s a tradition to win the Homecoming game. We wanted to uphold that tradition. We were determined not to lose.” The audience eagerly awaited the moment when the announcement of the Homecoming Queen would echo over the microphone. The crowd sat in suspense as the Court and their escorts walked out onto the field. The envelope was opened and the Queen was an- nounced: The 1986 Homecoming Queen is ... Collette Nally.” Cameras flashed and hands ap- plauded as Collette was crowned by Father Canavan. Collette remarks, “It was a great honor and privilege to receive such a title. It made me feel good because my fellow classmates were the ones who chose me. This will be the most memorable experience at Kennedy that I’ve ever had. The Homecoming festivities including the Saturday night dance con- cluded as a complete suc- cess. It is doubtful that anyone will forget this memorable weekend. The crowning of the Homecoming Queen is a tradition Father Canavan takes pride in. Collette Nally accepts her new crown, and what it represents, with honor. The beautiful Homecoming Court congratulates their well-deserved queen, Collet- te Nally. Uplifting and energetic, all the kids at Kennedy dances ... Twist and Shout Are you bored? Do you sometimes wonder what to do on Saturday nights? Well, that doesn’t happen to students when there's a Kennedy dance held. Everybody's there, from senior to freshman, danc- ing to the point of exhaustion with their friends and having a great time. Some people twist, others do the monkey or slam dance, and some just jump around, but regard- less of style, everyone blends in perfectly. Perhaps the most popular dance of the year is the beach dance. Held in chilly March, the beach dance gives everyone the opportunity to break out their Jams and Tom Cruise sunglasses and really get into the summer spirit. This night is re- served for wild and crazy behavior only — no nor- mal activity is allowed. We're reminded that only a few months remain until summer and this fact cer- tainly cheers things up considerably. Even the teachers join in the celebration. Kennedy is a school that loves oldies.” Songs like “Shout” and “The Twist” are mixed in along with U2 and Janet Jackson to provide a variety of music. After all, you can’t twist to Janet Jackson’s Control.” During all of Kennedy’s dances, a twist contest is held to determine who can really swing those hips. Everyone gets out on the floor and starts twisting until finalists are chosen, then the finalists twist again, hoping to win a t-shirt or even a tape. Of course, students don't attend dances simp- ly to compete for prizes. In fact, the only heavy competition ever present on the dance floor is in the race to have the most fun. The Sophomores show their stuff as they get into the dan- ce. Pete Criscolo couldn’t ask just one girl, he asked two girls to dance. 18 The Beach Dance is where Kathy Gillan and Kathy Duf- you can find many people fy take a break from the dan- letting their hair down. ce to chat awhile. Don't stop till you drop” is the Sophomores' motto at the dance. 19 In celebration of our Catholic faith we pray ... In The Name Of The Father One aspect of Arch- bishop Kennedy that can not be duplicated by a public school is our seasonal liturgy. The liturgy is one of the main purposes in maintaining a Catholic High School. We sometimes may overlook the importance of these services, but they are vital to the Catholic High School way of learning and living. This is the one time in which Seniors, Juniors, Sophomores, and Freshmen alike come together spiritually as a group. It is a special time to reflect on how lucky we are to be attending a Christian school such as Kennedy. Not all teenagers are quite so lucky. Mass provides a good time to expand and develop the Catholic education we have learn- ed throughout all our Catholic School years. After an enlightening service, Sophomore Valerie Dunlevy receives the Eucharist from Father Kindon. During the course of the school year there are four school liturgies. There is an Opening Mass at the start of the year, this year’s mass was The Mass of the Holy Spirit. The following mass is the special Thanksgiving liturgy. A few weeks before the Thanksgiving liturgy the CSC holds its annual Clothing Drive for the underprivileged and the NHS holds a food drive for all those families in the Philadelphia area who may not have a turkey dinner on Thanksgiving. At the liturgy the CSC and NHS bring up their offerings of food and clothes as a sign of true generosity and selflessness. The true Ken- nedy spirit is shown once again through this act of generosity. Next, a Christmas liturgy is held in Decem- Gerry Buggy, Treasurer, leads the congregation in prayer at the Back to School mass. 20 Richard Daly, Sister Mary Elizabeth, Mrs. Frances, and Ms. Roe Lambert participate in the mass by bringing up the gifts during the of- feratory. ber before Christmas vacation. This mass is very special for it is to worship the birth of Jesus Christ. The Christmas liturgy’s purpose is to remind us that the reason for vacation is to prepare and celebrate for the coming of Jesus. This is a joyous time for all. An Ash Wed- nesday service is also held. We are offered the regular liturgy with the additional administration of ashes on the forehead. Coming near to the closing of school an im- promtu End of School Mass is held bidding farewell to all for the sum- mer. This mass, including the seniors, is their last mass celebrated with the entire school. Singing with great en- thusiasm, the choir adds the extra spiritual touch to the mass. 21 What’s going on in and around Kennedy A Little Bit Of Everything Getting ready for the dance to begin, Antonina Dalican- dro adds the finishing touches to the gym. The Potato Sack Race gets Scott Henderzak in a “boun- cing mood! Donna Lawrence knows there is another part of Christmas than just Santa Claus. She remembers Jesus’ birthday at the Christmas Liturgy. 23 how 8c why History can be easy to read . .. remembering it is the hard part.

We say this because we like the warm atmosphere, the friendships of students, and the personal concern shown by the faculty for the students. There is a bond of community, a generous spirit of walking the extra mile with one another, and the moments when friendship enriches us all. We have said that the reason for this is because we are a small school. But the smallness of enrollment is only a condition in which such friendships can happen. We can put other groups of people in this situation and it would not happen. The reason that the grace of love happens is because we are a Catholic school. We see each other as persons, human beings, who are not only material but spiritual. We have souls and the soul of each of us is the fount of loving, healing, hope and forgiveness. We are not just economic people or combinations of chemicals, but we are people loved into existence in the very image and like- ness of God. We have a respect and love for one another because of our faith in God as well as one another. It is our faith which give us the hope that we will continue to love this school which only means to continue to love one another and our God who is the source of this love. 27 Father McKeaney turns an old ritual into a new one. Symbol of Unity Fr. McKeaney, our Youth Ministry Director, wants to change Kennedy. His instrument is one which is quite familiar to Kennedy students, but it is his ap- proach which is grabbing, the most attention. To his ministry program this year, Father added a Class Mass” composed of only one individual Religion class. “We intend to ob- tain a sense of closeness and ap- It doesn't take Freshmen long to realize how important Religion is in their high school years. preciation for one another,” says Father. He accomplishes this through these informal masses held in those months when there are no community school masses. Father McKeaney refers to these masses as “teaching masses” since when he has been the celebrant of the class mass, he has taken time out to explain, in detail and quite informally, the specifics of the mass. He highlighted the position of the priest in the mass and also made a presentation of the history of symbols used in the mass to fur- ther the knowledge of the students. Few Catholics are able to see their weekly ritual in such a close perspective and it brought a new meaning to the students, especially those in classes who were permitted to stand around the altar. Needless to say, Father has found these masses to be very successful and has also requested to have them every week. Suzanne Conner finds that Religion isn’t always a serious subject.

Atwood’s Corollary: No books are lost by lending except those you particularly wanted to keep. Experience New Changes The English department has gone through a slight change in its curriculum. In Miss Gail Ciociola’s eyes, the change is for the better. The Honors English and Ad- vancement Placement classes are now combined into one class. The Senior AP curriculum is offered to all Juniors and Seniors who have AP courses. This differs from last years program which placed Juniors in the Honors English and Seniors in the AP program. Next year the program will follow in an alternating style which will allow the present Juniors both AP and Honors English. Each year the English program will alternate with Honors and also AP English. The reason for the combination of the two levels is to eliminate a class. This would therefore alleviate the personnel problem and yet still offer the program. “The class contains students either truly interested and or truly talented in English,” Miss Ciociola tells us. Students feel the same way. It’s a really interesting class. It's fast moving. I enjoy the challenge, and it’s definitely not boring,” Junior Suzanne Conner tells us. “English class has always been different with Miss Ciociola as a teacher but this year the com- bination of seniors and juniors has made it more interesting. It is very challenging, and I’ve gotten a lot out of the class,” says Senior Carol DeSantis. Although this program has a few rough edges, combined with the guidance of Miss Ciociola and the interest of the students, it is surely on a path to success.

Mr. Leahan: I am trying to organize a trip to a Spanish restaurant in my Spanish 3 classes for this year. K: How do you feel about the kids you teach? CL: Well, each of my classes are different. I feel that the classes are a bit larger than would be ex- pected but it's more of a challenge. I have 2 classes of 45. An ideal class of teaching Spanish is about 15-18 students. K: What is the importance of learning the Spanish language? CL: Spanish is the second most spoken language in the world and the major Spanish speaking coun- tries besides those in South America are USA and Cuba. It's also important because if you are engaged in war and you have to surrender, you must be able to say, “I surrender” to the Contras, in Spanish. K: How did you get interested in the Spanish language? CL: In High School, during a sum- mer job, I worked with a pouring crew of Spanish speaking Puerto Ricans. K: What are some differences be- tween the Spanish and American youths? CL: The major difference in students of the 2 countries is that the Spanish children follow the old values. They have a lot of respect for their parents and family, and chaperones are brought along on dates. French takes a lot of study in order to learn the language. But it can be a lot of fun. 32 Ms. Catherine Holding Chairperson, Religion. Religion 4, Student Council, C.S.C., Future Teacher's Club. Mr. Richard Kauffmann Chairperson. Physical Education.

Focus in on Culture Kencensus: How is “World Cultures” taught differently than in past years? Mr. Tomilson: In the past we would have covered the cultural areas through the textbooks, newspapers, etc. This year we are experimenting by using the T.V. by assigning the freshmen to watch “The Africans every Sun- day night. We are also using the Inquirer as an auxiliary. We view a tape once a week and discuss the previous weeks show. After the nine weeks have been com- pleted, each student receives an extensive survey sheet to com- plete. This T.V. show will allow us to spend more time on the other cultural areas. K: Why do you feel this is an im- portant subject for students to learn? Mr. T.: It is very important to learn about other people and the way they exist in their en- vironment. The world has become very small since WWII and this makes it necessary for us to know what other people are thinking and doing. We have become very dependent on others for raw materials, for mutual defense treaties, for support in the U.N. and other world organizations. By being aware of the difference among all the people of the world, it will help us to avoid some of the major errors of the past in our dealings with these nations. It is also important to look at others so as to mirror our own image in them. We become Western Studies requires a lot of con- centration. Mrs. Baughman helps by illustrating a point on the board. knowledgeable of ourselves as we reflect on others. It will help us to grow, to understand and to ap- preciate our own environment. K: How do students react to this course? Mr. T.: Initially they are receptive but as they are challenged or are expected to challenge their world, the course becomes more de- manding and less attractive. I do not expect immediate or short term success. I believe as they grow intellectually, and mature, the foundations that have been built will in the long run make them better people. Hopefully they will be grading themselves based on what they have learned in World Cultures and at Archbishop Kennedy.

Mrs. Gonsalves: The most im- portant project I have planned is a field trip for the Physics class to the Franklin Institute. The pur- pose is for the students to be able to use equipment not available to us in school. K: How do you think freshmen are doing in their first year of high-school labs? Mrs. G: Many of the freshmen have been doing very well in labs — some have been outstanding. One freshmen brought in a model of his homemade internal com- bustion engine — and suc- cessfully demonstrated its operation. K: Are there any classes too cum- bersome for successful lab work? Mrs. G: The ideal situation is to have a small class for lab. One freshmen class has 43 students for lab and it has been difficult to get this group, as a whole, settled. However, one class has done some outstanding lab works and has shown great maturity. K: Are there any important projects happening in your classes? Mrs. G: The most important thing for the year is getting students to understand that science is a part of the society. Every Friday there is an opportunity for students to bring in some relevant science- related story to class for discussion, such as a story from the newspaper or from the news. Part of any science class is learning the safe way to use the equipment. Mrs. Gonsalves takes the time to show the correct way to use a bunsen burner. Miss Jane McEnerney Language Arts.

Math is a Necessity Kencensus: How important is math to a student’s high school education? Sr. Marybeth: It is very im- ortant. They not only have to now the basic facts, they have to go deeper into the mathematics held and train the mind along thinking logically from beginning to end. K: When students say “Why do I need this,” and “I’ll never use this in the real world,” how do you reply and what is your reasoning? S.M.: This really is the most asked question. Students do not realize that there isn’t a field of higher learning where math is not needed. For example, in nursing, algebra and trig are needed. These subjects are also important in any medical held. In con- struction, trig and geometry are necessary and in engineering, trig, algebra, and geometry are required. For the accounting and business helds, all types of math are needed. I try to explain to them that even in repairing their own homes they better know how to calculate and think mathematically or they are going to lose money. K: What, in your opinion, do you think is the reason for the low U.S. math scores on international tests? S.M.: European students are made to memorize things. They also don’t have the distractions. Also not everyone can go to college — only those who pass with very high marks — so they strive all through their school days, not just before a test. K: How well do Kennedy students fathom the math they are taught? S.M.: As well as they do in any other subject. Those that want to apply themselves do. American students need motivation in some things and not just sit back and hope it goes in by osmosis.

A Computer Society The phrase “age of the com- puters” is almost a cliche anymore since computers have become such an integral part of society and their existence has been taken for granted. Senior Stacy Anderer says, ‘T'd say that the computer class will help con- siderably in college because com- puters are so much a part of our life. I think it’s necessary for a student to have a basic knowledge about computers.” Ms. Ratigan, our Mathematics chairperson, heads the Basic Computers course at Kennedy. The class is responsible for exer- cises and labs in computer ap- plications and they also are required to write their own programs as a project. Stacy adds about Ms. Ratigan, “She is a very capable teacher and possesses a vast amount of knowledge con- cerning computers.” All things considered, the students talting computer literacy at Kennedy will leave with a great command of the BASIC language. Paul Vandegrift is very serious when it comes to computers. He knows they will be very influential in later years. Miss Patricia Wertman Health, Physical Education, Intramurals.

New Approach to Business Mrs. Lambert uses a hands on experience” approach with her underclassmen. This year in business math Mrs. Lambert’s students are taping experimental job interviews, WAKS, because Mrs. Lambert feels that “by taping these interviews my students will become more con- fident with themselves. Another goal I want to accomplish is to get my students to better project themselves in public.” The stock market game, spon- sored by the Philadelphia Inquirer,” is another fun way Mrs. Lambert has found to get her students to learn about investing. Mrs. Rita Boland Secretary, Guidance Office. Mrs. Lambert said “through this game my students are able to choose stock, and then invest bogus money into that stock. Each student is given a certain amount of fake money that he can invest freely. My class sub- scribes to the newspaper so we're able to follow our investments. At the end of the stock market game a stock market broker is going to give us a printout sheet regarding our growth. The student with the best investment wins a prize!

An asset to our faculty, Miss Wert- man structures her gym classes in such a way that she elicits 100% from her students. Kencensus: Why do you choose to teach physical education rather than any other class? Miss Wertman: I choose it because I enjoy all sports and I also enjoy working with adolescents. K: In your opinion, what is the purpose of the gym class? P.W.: I feel the purpose is to promote physical fitness. It is im- portant to have fun but it’s also necessary to participate in team sports as well as individual sports. K: What activities are planned for classes this year? P.W.: We usually participate in field hockey, soccer, lacrosse, kickball, gymnastics, and aerobics. There is also a physical fitness test I conduct. K: What do you feel your gym classes do for the students? P.W.: The eighth period gym class usually helps you to unwind after a hard day's work. I really look forward to class because it stimulates me at the end of the day. A little mixed doubles in volleyball gives the boys a chance to enjoy the sport during gym class. 47 Whether in her own office or helping out in the main office, Miss Murry is a very busy woman.

The melodic voice of Kennedy's games and assemblies ... Janeen Krepto Sings Out Have you ever wondered about the identities of the girls who sing at the basketball games? I bet you've envied what great voices they have and wondered, ‘is that it?’ Do they just sing for school games? Well, that’s not it for Janeen Krepto. Janeen not only sings for our own high school, at home basketball games, but she’s even in a band outside of school. Of course she’s the lead singer. Along with that, Janeen is an ac- tive member of the Cast and Cur- tain Company and the music ministry here at school. After school and some nights you could probably find Janeen at the Plymouth Meeting Mall; she has a job there at Tom McCann shoes. Besides just singing, Janeen is interested in dancing and acting. She gets a lot of help and in- spiration from her older sisters. Janeen never really thought of persuing a singing career until around the age of ten when she saw the play Annie.” When Janeen was still attending St. Mary's Elementary school, in Conshohocken, she got off to an early start as an actress (or actor) in the musical play Oliver,” which was presented here at Ken- nedy in 1981. Considering Janeen’s in- teresting and fast-paced activities, she certainly deserves recognition and applause as a representative of the Junior Class.

On The Weekends Kathleen Andrew Michele Sullivan Wegrzyn Wynne Darrin Jennifer Daniel Swanson Welsh Abbey Genevieve Shannon Marianne Symick White Adamitis Kathleen Kirsten Robert Tierney Winering Aiello Ah, the weekend. No one per- son on earth appreciates Friday like a school student. Kennedy Underclassmen spend their weekends mainly recovering from the draining week they had at school, but most, however, find the time to get some activity into their schedule. It’s not surprising that many Underclassmen work during the weekend (not to mention after- school jobs), and they regret to report that it does take up most of their free time. During football season at Kennedy, many fresh- men, sophomores, and juniors at- tend the Friday night games to cheer on the Saints. The mall seems to be the primary hangout, either Plymouth-Meeting or the Plaza will do. Since time tends to be scarce during the school week, most students do their shopping over this mini-holiday. Of course, there are the usual activities students participate in: babysitting, partying, visiting relatives and friends, and going to church. A considerable amount of time is spent doing homework and make-up work by a few Un- derclassmen, but most tend to spend their weekends hanging out at their friends’ house. One student spends his weekends skateboarding and another, somewhat fatigued student spends her time sleeping. Yet, no matter how your weekend is spent, most students agree that there’s no feeling like that of the Friday 2:22 bell.

Hobbies provide not only a form of entertainment, but also a sense of confidence and individuality. Ranging from poet to skate- boarder, underclassmen certainly reflect this distinctiveness. Donna Pierce, Freshman, coaches the CYO St. Matt's Cheerleaders and has aided the squad greatly since she’s been working with them. Kelly O’Don- nell puts her singing talents to use in the Delaware Community Choir. Dennis Faltore has an in- teresting and unusual hobby; he shoots in local gun shows. Joseph Baratucci lends a helping hand to the Washies” at the Washington Fire Company as a volunteer fireman. The sophomores participate in a wide variety of outside school activities. Betty Chrzanowski at- tends dance classes and John Bums is a musician. Lorrie Pulice lets her fingers do the walking while she practices her hobby of piano playing. Paul Perilli is the skateboarder of the sophomore class and Bill Gordon the surfer. Kim RiRocco has had poems published, Tina Guerra tutors grade school children, and Lisa DiGiacomo struts her stuff on Dancin’ on Air. The Juniors certainly aren’t ex- cluded from this on-going list of interesting pastimes. Matt Mem- mo spends his spare time strum- ming on the guitar while Gen Syr- nick tumbles around in her gym- nastics class. Perhaps you know one of these students. But, did you know about their favorite hobbies? Maybe you really don’t know them all that well. It is said that a picture paints a thousand words. Couldn’t a hobby? Sophomores show their spirit on Blue and White Day. 57 The enthusiasm on Blue and White Day is shown by the expressions of these sophomores. Underclassmen live it up under the sun ... Hot Fun In The Summertime Summer sun and fun!! Ken- nedy’s underclassmen certainly rank high when it comes to living it up during summer vacation. Perhaps their great spirit and en- thusiasm in school is a direct result of their activities out of school. representative, they no doubt have clout with the local travel agents. Juniors found exciting ways of filling up their summer weeks also. Eric Hamaday risked the in- famous Bermuda Triangle” and vacationed in Bermuda. John Sophomore Bill Gordon gives new meaning to the phrase riding the waves” since he spent his vacation surfing around the U.S. Antonia D'Alicandro, sophomore, visited Italy this sum- mer and explored her ethnic background while sophomore Rob Kenworthy stayed within the U.S. and vacationed in Maine. The Freshmen class also con- tains well-traveled students. With Amy Welsh, who ventured to both Florida and Mexico, as a Leszczynski endured the Texas heat in 1986 and visited family living there while Jen Morrison was cooling off on a pair of water- skies. The obvious popular vacation spot of Kennedy's underclassmen is none other than the Jersey Shore. Though most students stay at different shorepoints, the general Kencensus rates Wild- wood still as the most popular shore town for teens. i a ’ 7 t Paul John Lorenzo Mangan Jennifer Matthew Loschiavo Marcucci Michele Jeanine Loschiavo Marino Jacqueline Michael Lynch Matthias Krista Martin Macchione McCarthy Colleen Loretta Maguire McKeough Anthony Megan Malara McTamney Michelle Joseph Malizia Meyer C-4 Joseph Miscavage Kandy Modres Keith Mondillo Christopher Morris Amanda Morrissey Danielle Moser Frances Mucha Kathleen Deborah Joseph Dawn Shannon Mulligan Ondik Paul Preite Renshaw Sarah Kimberly Paul Christy Maurice Murphy Ondik Perilli Prislupski Russo Thomas Adam Louis Lorraine Sharon Nally Owad Petka Pulice Ryan Jennifer Susan Anne Tara Stefanie M.

Considering this, it’s very interesting to take a look at the Freshman class’ opinions about music. After all, their class will shape Kennedy's musical at- titude in the years to follow. The Freshmen of D-l, according to the recent Underclassmen poll, like a wide variety of musical styles ranging from Duran Duran to Led Zeppelin. However, the two groups that seem to come out on top are Bon Jovi and Genesis, two bands from different ends of the sound spectrum. Run-D.M.C. ran a close third and Van Halen came up behind the rap masters less one vote. D-2 seems to have the same general taste as D-l, but in this homeroom Genesis beat Bon Jovi for first place by five votes. These freshmen also prefer Whitney Houston and U2 to Van Halen. Run-D.M.C. can’t call themselves the “Kings of Rock” in this homeroom — they received only two votes. D-3 fared basically the same. Again, Genesis came out on top but this time there was a three- way tie for second place: Run- D.M.C., New Edition, and Whit- ney Houston. Added to the list are the Hooters and Peter Gabriel. D-4 also voted Genesis the best, with Run-D.M.C. running a close second.

The Kencensus hears from our Student Council Officers ... The Leaders of the Pack Kencensus: What role, do you think, the Student Council plays on everyday life at Kennedy? Marie DeBarbarie: I think that kids come to us a lot to find out what is going on with something or to make suggestions of their own. The faculty will also sometimes ask us what the students think about a situation. I think Student Council is a good communicator between faculty and students. Kencensus: What do you think has been ac- complished this year by the Student Council? Collette Nally: I think the Council has fulfilled all its duties excellently so far. With good guidance from Mrs. Holding and the dedication of the mem- bers, the organization has successfully shown what an important role it plays at Kennedy. Kencensus: How have you benefitted from being a member of the Student Council? Collette Nally: I’ve really developed my com- munication and leader- ship skills by establishing a good rapport between the students and faculty. It’s a great responsibility, but I’ve received such a proud feeling from ac- complishing all the goals of Student Council. It’s so much fun assisting with my own classmates in making Archbishop Ken- nedy High School such a great school. I’ve gained friends, responsibility, commitment, and many fond memories. Kencensus: Why would you encourage people to become members of the Student Council? Gerry Buggy: I would en- courage people because Student Council gives you a chance to effect your school year. It also gives you a chance to get in- volved in school. It also enables you to meet many types of people in school because you are there to serve the whole school. But Student Council is not just a popularity contest. Like any activity, it takes dedication and respon- sibility. However, I have had a lot of fun dealing in Student Council and it is a real learning experience. At all Student Council In- speakers.

Jill Prendergast takes a break from broadcasting the an- nouncements and tries her hand behind the camera. Not many students see WAR'S real personality on ... The Other Side of the Camera Fr. McKeany had the idea to start a school TV station in 1972. When Fr. Cana van gave him the “go ahead,” plus financial and moral support, he was able to start building WAKS. However, he credits the students and faculty with the many ideas that are an im- portant part of the programming and says, I simply try to put it together with the limited facilities that we have.” However, Kennedy has done much to improve WAKS in its few years of existence: color program- ming has been included, a second camera, two new monitors, and a new broadcast studio with im- proved lighting have been cpcurpH While WAKS is not ABC, NBC, or CBS it it what we make it: an excellent high school TV station serving its students and faculty. From the student per- spective, WAKS has much to offer. Tom Brady and Janeen Krepto both feel that WAKS offer an in- valuable school ex- perience. Janeen feels it is a good experience in get- ting in front of the TV camera to speak to people.” Tom Brady feels that there is also the possibility that this ex- perience could also help him in selecting a major field of study in college. However, both Janeen and Tom remember their first broadcast: Janeen stated “I was really ner- vous;” Tom said “I was very nervous, my legs shook when I was talking.” Both Janeen and Tom were quick to point out the importance of the WAKS moderator. Tom feels Father McKeaney is a great moderator. He develops the technical part of WAKS, and now Father will have to help out with the announces since Miss Murray has left. Janeen added that Father McKeaney and Miss Murray had made the TV a fun place, always making sure that every announcer has a chance to be on TV. When you really think about it, without them, there might not have been a WAKS. Father Canavan addresses the student body over the closed circuit television. 69 The Mathletes are given a second chance in performing their ... Brain Functions Academic achievement in mathematics is cer- tainly exemplified at Ken- nedy in the Mathletes organization. Threatened with extinction last year, and revived by new-found student interest, the Mathletes team has stayed under the guidance of Ms. Roseanne Ratigan, our Math Dept. Head. Thurs- day meetings give the math wizards a chance to prepare for upcoming meets where they com- pete with seven other Ar- chdiocesan schools. The competition is stiff, but that does not seem to bother Mathletes’ President Lisa Marucci. “We are in competition with everyone. There isn’t just one main school that we rival.” These meets represent the main ac- tivity of the Mathletes and are usually held one Mon- day afternoon each mon- th. The individual tests are graded on a one-point-per- problem basis and a group problem is given where the teams solve the questions collectively in their respective teams. At the end of each meet, points are tallied and the winner decided. Although this year’s team consists mostly of sophomores, they fared quite well considering they compete with juniors and seniors of other schools who have more math experience. How- ever, an increase in mem- bers, according to Lisa, would aide the team im- mensely and give Ken- nedy the upperhand. It’s odd that the reason the Mathletes’ existence was threatened last year is the same reason it was resuscitated this year: student interest. The new breed of Mathletes mem- bers are young and energetic — an equation which could add up to nothing but excellence. Frank Steitz helps to pull Kennedy ahead at the Mathletes Competition. 70 Vice President, Lisa Marucci recognizes that the problems must be completed with both swiftness and accuracy. Underclassmen also have the opportunity to compete at the monthly competitions. Shannon Coghlan assists with the sophomore con- tribution to the team. Mathletes.

During Thanksgiving studen- ts collect and distribute clothing to people who are in need of them. 72 CSC students learn the true meaning of altruism ... Walking In The Rain The Community Service Corps of Philadelphia is a civil serving group of altruistic students who tend to the needs of many underprivileged people not only in the immediate Philadelphia area, but also all over the world. One activity through which the corps ac- complishes this is an an- nual CROP Walk in Fair- mount Park which raises money for the hungry in many parts of the world. Anyone who wishes to participate obtains spon- sors who front a certain amount of money per kilometer walked by the student. On Sunday, Oc- tober 26, all the par- ticipants met at the base of the Art Museum’s steps, signed in, and began then- trek along the river. Despite the rain, spirits were not dampened. These young people had committed themselves to hundreds of starving people and a few rain drops were not going to restrain them from their pledges. The walkathon’s path is ten kilometer beginning at the Art Museum, heading north on West River Drive, crossing over the Falls Bridge, and then retur- ning to the museum by way of Kelly Drive. The rain didn’t prevent a large turn-out either, more than two-hundred people took part in this strenuous act of charity, ten of whom were from Kennedy. Junior CSC member Suzanne Conner sums up the walk in these words: It was really fulfilling. It gave you a sense of pride and achievement. It’s something I think the whole school should par- ticipate, hopefully next year. It's definitely worth it.” A little bit of rain won’t dam- pen the spirits of Jill Pren- dergast and Suzanne D’Angelo during the Crop Walk. Tae Kwon Do Masters annually demonstrate for Kennedy students ... The Art of the Foot and Hand After Mr. DeStolfo feels the students are ready to move on to further training, he administers a two part test. One is a writ- ten test which includes questions about Tae Kwon Do and various things which a karate student should know. Also, there is a physical test in which the student actually shows his talents in karate. If the person passes, they are given a different color belt. The students feel very proud to be given another belt. Starting with a white belt, the student progresses to a gold then green, blue, red, then finally black. In the in- terim, the students prac- tice very hard in hopes that someday they will receive the black belt. Once a year the Karate Club organizes on a demonstration and along with the members from Kennedy, and members from Mr. DeStolfo's own club in Conshohocken, they educate Kennedy in the moves and motives of Tae Kwon Do. Mr. DeStolfo also calls down members of the student body to join in the fun. Students particularly en- joy this segment of the program. With this assem- bly, the Karate Club hopes to see more members join next season by demon- strating the benefits of the art of Tae Kwon Do. “Tae Kwon Do,” the art of the foot and hand, has concluded its seconf full season at Kennedy with Mr. DeStolfo, the moderator, who holds practice once a week for the members. Though lessons are short, much gets accomplished. The students in training try to learn the three basic kicks of karate. Mr. DeStolfo demonstrates the correct motions as the students watch with admiration. Along with the kicks the students learn three basic blocks and punches. Although an excellent source of exercise, Tae Kwon Do has the main goal of self-defense. The purpose of the program is to teach members how to protect themselves in times of danger. Dr. Muscarella and his fellow black belt present a one-step which is a method of Self-Defense. Matthew Marcucci blocks a round-house kick as he and Michael Prokop demonstrate free-fighting. 74 Soon to be a blue belt, Bob Pfanders demonstrates the breaking of a cinder block with a fist punch. Black belt Dr. Muscarella has helped Mr. DeStolfo with the Karate Demonstration since its beginning three years ago. Mr. DeStolfo and Dr. Muscarella help to assist Matthew Marcucci in his first attempt at breaking two cin- derblocks with a side kick. Archbishop Kennedy's Weight Club.

McKeaney’s Mysterious Elves Did you ever wonder, when you’re at an assem- bly, how the chairs got set up? You walk into the gym, now transformed in- to a Church, and wonder who does this? It can't just appear from nothing. Who are those guys who set up the altar and chairs and also remove them af- ter we are through, anyway? You might think they volunteer just to get out of sitting through another boring home- room period, but if you speak to one of these mys- terious characters they'll tell you that you're wrong. They are the Stage Crew headed by the ever-faith- ful Father McKeaney. The Stage Crew do not simply set up and take down Chairs. The job requires more than that. Through Stage Crew and Father McKeaney’s guid- ance, the members learn how to work the lights, use the microphones, and even work the mirrored ball in the gym for dances. Often, we do not ap- preciate the efforts of those students in Stage Crew and too many times we take for granted the services that Stage Crew provides. Without Stage Crew as a part of Kennedy many assemblies and school gatherings would not be organized and as colorful as they are now. For some people Stage Crew is a way to become involved and be a part of Kennedy. Tom Brady joined Stage Crew because being involved in a school activity gives you enjoyment, you're only here for four years so I try to get involved. Being in- volved in school makes me feel a closer part of Kennedy and is some- thing I will always remem- ber. 77 First Row: Tom Brady, Don- na Pierce, Paula Fox, Josephine Camaroli, Christy Prislupski, Andrea Freas, John Grobaker.

All the News That’s Fit to Print When one thinks of a mirror, the word ‘reflec- tion’ comes to mind. The school newspaper of Archbishop Kennedy, en- titled The Mirror is just that: a reflection of school and our community. The Mirror consists of a wide ranged collection of special events and issues that have been an integral part of the life of each Kennedy individual. One major aspect of The Mirror is that it is a school newspaper. Written and put together by Kennedy students, its material is based on everyday oc- currences at Kennedy. It may take more time and effort to produce a paper like this, but the staff of The Mirror continues to put out nothing but the best. This year The Mirror is produced under the guidance of a new moderator due to the departure of Dr. D’Angelo. Mr. Richard Daly now heads the staff of The Mirror and along with Mr. Daly came some future plans for the paper, in- cluding the addition of more pages and an in- crease in the number of publications. Mr. Daly relays his feelings towards The Mirror and his responsibility: ‘By and large I am pleased with the staff and writers of The Mirror, I was quite happy and content with this year's edition.’ One of Mr. Daly’s main concerns is that there are not enough students interested in the newspaper. Hopefully with greater student awareness of The Mirror there will be an increase in staff. Kennedy life has never been known to be dull and since The Mirror is a reflection of Kennedy it promises never to be anything but out of the or- dinary. But remember: you make The Mirror what it is because The Mirror is all about you. See you in the paper! 81 Kerri Santoni, Benita Kingkiner, and Amy Wright use their creative talents to organize layouts.

The General Kencensus Editor Maria Iannozzi and Asst. Editors, Michelle Fusco and Michele Wynne take time out to pose for a picture. Dear Archbishop Ken- nedy: Much goes into the creation of a yearbook. When I say “creation” I mean literally building The Kencensus from blank pages with rulers, pictures, ideas, words, and images. Forged by your likes and dislikes, we wanted this publication to be more than a book — we wanted something alive, radiating Kennedy’s spirit, and reflecting the world of 1986 and 1987. Yet, all of these idealistic conceptions take much time, hard work, and sprained nerves. We began with a considerably sized staff which soon dwindled as demands were demanded and hard work became the norm. A handful of dedicated staff members remained, however, and persevered on those long Wednesday afternoons in Booster Hall where we often stayed till after dark. Those who are considered as the true staff possess a few un- mistakable charac- teristics: profuse sweating near deadline, willingness to wear excessive amounts of sweaters, jackets, etc. in the Artie Zone we call Booster Hall, and a proficiency and willingness to work which is unsurpassed. We thank these students by naming them, whether they wrote outside copy, did thous- ands of layouts, or ran back and forth into the building for iden- tifications: Carol Desantis, Lauren Guy, Kerri San- toni, Suzanne Conners, Amy Wright, Becky Wright, Sue Maloney, Katie Muir, Monica Mur- phy, Gen Symick, Lynn Cunnane. Also non staff members: Mikki Santoni, the entire Freshman Cheerleading squad, Mrs. Vandegrift, Tom Blom- strom, Mrs. Blomstrom, Bill Wolfe, and The Times Herald. I’d especially like to thank Mrs. Ruth Santoni, moderator, Michele Wynne and Michelle Fusco, associate editors, for their patience, time, and understanding. We also wish to thank Ms. Anne Murry, our idea woman, Sister Helen Raphael, our Guardian Angel, Miss Carol Cher- necky who provided The Kencensus with type- writers, Father Canavan for his support and a place to create The Ken- census, Susan Heidt, our representative from Cooke Publishers, Jack Coll, and Carl Wolf Photographers.

Cathy Oh leads the crowd with a smile and a cheer! Cheerleading requires more than smiles, It's not... Just Another Pretty Face The eighteenth of August is when it all begins. The sweat pours down their faces as the Varsity squad practices their cheers and dance. Mrs. Sandra Louis, a for- mer Kennedy cheerleader and present coach, wat- ches and advises the squad as they practice. '‘It's a killer, but it’s worth it,” says Varsity member Monica Murphy. “When we bring home that first place ribbon for our dan- ce routine, we know all this hard work has payed off.” Along with the Varsity squad, the Junior Varsity also begins their prac- ticing. The two captains teach the newcomers the cheers and begin to prepare for the pep rally in September. “I like being captain because it gives me some say in what goes on,” JV captain Gina Piccone tells us. Early in September, the Blue and White squad is picked. The new fresh- men are taught the cheers and then join the JV in preparing for the pep rally. In reference to the Blue and White squad, Gina adds: They were very organized and they participated. They really knew what they were doing.” In addition to preparing cheers and routines, the squads are required to paint signs for each senior player in the fall sports for the pep rally, signs for the locker room, and posters for around school. “Preparing for the pep rally creates spirit and really gets me psyched, Varsity member Lisa Ciociola tells us. Despite the August sweat and all the hard work these cheerleaders endure, they still manage to make that difference at our sports games and spread the Kennedy spirit. 86 With the excitement of Marlee Borusiewicz, the crowd cheers along at the Pep Rally.

Over Hill Over Dale “You have to be really dedicated to be suc- cessful.” Senior Carol Haux is emphatic as she describes the effort a run- ner must put forth on Kennedy’s Cross Country team. Both the Boys' and Girl’s teams compete regularly on Saturdays during their September to end of November season; however, their in- volvement does not sim- ply end there. “The practices are so im- portant, Carol continues, “because if you perform well at practices you’ll perform well at the meets. An individual sport, Cross Country is unique in that runners work to develop in- dependently rather than communally as a team. John Briner possesses reat coaching talent ecause he combines the hard work elicited at prac- tice with the in- dividualistic aspect of the runners themselves. “He knows each person and their ability so he’ll work you out as hard as he knows you can go. He designs different workouts for different people. He’s really an in- dividual-oriented,” says Carol. This ideology worked out well for one runner, senior Paul Vandegrift, who not only won States but also placed fourth in the nation. The Boys’ Cross Country team con- sisted of only three students, two less than the required five members to score as a team, so Paul, Carol Haux, and Jill Pren- dergast went to the State meet held at Penn State individually. “That's what the whole season’s geared toward — trying to make it to States. If we don’t get there as a team, we hope to be represented by in- dividuals,” says Carol who placed eighth at the State Championships.

The Pride Of The Pigskin Archbishop Kennedy Saints’ Football team suc- cessfully completed the ’86 season with the title “Bicentennial League Champions.” Guided by Coach Chris Bochrath and the tri-captain team con- sisting of T. ]. McGuire, Chris Bello, and Don Staudemeyer, the Saints effectively rallied against their opponents and sur- faced victoriously. Senior captain and 1986 football MVP Don Staudemeyer talks about many highlights of this year in an interview with a Ken- census staff member. Kencensus: As a whole, what did you think of this year’s team? Don Staudemeyer: We were really enthused to have a winning season and win the title after last year's disappointments. K: What was it like receiving the MVP title at the conclusion of the season? D.S.: It was an honor and a privilege to receive such an award. It must have been difficult to decide who would receive the award because there were so many talented players on the team. K: Before the season ac- tually began, did you have confidence that the team would win the league championship? D.S.: We thought we were a good favorite going into the season. We had the confidence to attain our goal. K: What have you learned from participating on the football team for these past four years? D.S.: I’ve really gained responsibility and self- discipline as a player and a captain. K: Is there a difference between this year and last considering your present responsibilities as cap- tain? D.S.: Last year, there wasn’t as much pressure on me as a player, but this year I’m required to be more dedicated and responsible. K: How did you prepare for your leadership role as captain? D.S.: My brother John, (assistant coach) was cap- tain his senior year. He showed me how to handle different situations on and off the field. He was a great inspiration to me.

Soccer Is Here to Stay The soccer program is here to stay, said Junior Bill Wolfe, one of the cap- tains of Kennedy’s soccer team. It is only the second season of the soccer program, so the teams goal is to lay the basic foundation for future soc- cer players. This year's team con- sists of quite a few fresh- men and sophomores. Senior Tom Blomstrom, the other captain of the soccer team, comments that The younger team- mates play well, con- sidering the pressure of a varsity program. Junior Stuart Gannon adds “I like the fact that we have talent, that can be developed in the next two years.” “One of the main dif- ferences from last year to this year is having a home field here at Kennedy says Bill Wolfe. The field has brought many people out to the games and aided in the Boosting of morale for the players. The coach of the soccer team, Chuck Primavera, proves to be an essential aid to the team’s success. The players stress the fact that they couldn't ask for a better man for the job. Said Stuart Gannon, He’s a knowledgeable coach who can teach a lot about the sport.” This year proved to be a good learning experience for all of Kennedy’s soccer players, especially for the underclassmen. The expertise of Coach Primavera combined with the talent of the un- derclassmen no doubt will establish Kennedy’s soccer program as a tough contender in the league for years to come. 93 With a look of deter- mination, defense leader, Kathy Tierney attempts to keep the ball out of Ken- nedy's circle.

Adjusting to yet another new coach this year, the girls fought and practiced to prepare them- selves for the season. Beneath the summer sun, the Lady Saints constantly drilled to develop coor- dination and to sharpen their abilities. Senior Maureen Henry explains, “It was tough in the begin- ning, but towards the end of the season, we worked well together. Under the guidance of young Eileen McGee, their new coach, the girls lear- ned new strategies and plays, but more im- portantly they ‘‘ac- complished the most this year because we reached the goals we set for our- selves, as Megan Murphy explains. Senior Michele McCarthy feels that the ’86 season was “the best and most memorable season ever.” It’s a good sport. I’ve really gotten a lot out of it. It’s a sport which allows you to work as a team and as an individual as well.” Pat Dempsey, a four year veteran of the Kennedy hockey program, definitely has elicited much from her on-the- field experience. Every player on the team has in some way been affected by their involvement with the team and the general concensus is a very positive one. The pride and friendship existing among the players is quite impressive.

It is a fun sport, you learn a lot about basketball with the people you play with and the people you play against. Peggy Wisniewski: You always have a job to do.

Maureen Maloney: It takes a somewhat skillful and determined person to play basketball and con- stantly keep up with game. Peggy Wisniewski: You have to be a worker.

The concerns of the team seems to be the “bench spirit” is what keeps the team going. “The team has not yet come together as unified members,” yet they still fight with dedicated Saint’s Pride, says Junior Sean Flanagan.

He’s trying to bring out our individual talent” says Sean Flanagan. Junior Don Butler describes that a tough non-league schedule has restrained the team a bit and is perhaps the cause for their slow start. Despite this Donald said, “I feel that with a new attitude and the start of a regular league schedule we have every chance to bounce back.” With the abun- dancy of team spirit this team does in fact have the ability to bounce back.

Track Schedule Holy Ghost Bristol Gwynedd Mercy Villa Joseph Marie Devon Bicentennial Championships 100 Mental preparation plays an important role in track. It's ... Not Strictly Physical I get a feeling of ac- complishment from run- ning because you just keep working up to bigger and better things, says Courtney Givnish, Junior. As Courtney implies, a person who wants to run track must be both physically and mentally ready for competition. It takes months of training for a person to become physically ready, and only with the knowledge that they are physically ready can a runner begin to build mental con- fidence. One way this can be accomplished is through practice. Senior Carol Haux explains, ‘‘Practice can be hard but it helps you get ready physically and mentally.” Robyne Bondi, junior, said that “most people hate practice but you have to improve. Some prac- tices are hard, some are easy. You need to have both because all difficult ones would bum you out before the season was over.” Most PIAA runners plan to be in their best possible condition in May for the final three meets, Leagues, Districts, and States. The track season itself is divided into two parts, the indoor and outdoor season. Indoor track is mostly exposure and many runners use it to get in shape for spring track,” says Robyne. There are also many differences bet- ween the two seasonal track events. One such distinctive difference is the competition. Lauren Guy, junior, comments: The competition is much harder during indoor track because you run against Philadelphia schools as well as subur- ban schools, unlike out- door track when you just go up against suburban schools.” With the arrival of the outdoor season, all of a runner’s hard work pays off. Yet, it's not all hard work and sweat. Un- forgettable moments hap- pen during the spring season and as Robyne Bondi says, “One time I’ll always remember is the first time the team won the league championships and the surprise party at the State meet.” Lauren Guy remembers “when the Mile Relay Team found out they made it to the State meet by one second.” With each meet and practice, new memories are created and new goals obtained. Nine months of hard work comes down to eleven seconds to eleven minutes of cheers, tears, and for some a few minutes of glory. Carol Haux attempts to add another victory to her record.

How the (Base) Ball Bounces Kencensus: As a whole, how does the team prepare for the season? Pete Zebley: We prepare by staying loose and keeping our arms strong. Some people may join a winter league to keep ac- tive in the game, but mostly just studying the plays the coach gives us are enough. K: How do you prepare yourself for a game? P.Z.: Before a game, I'll find out as much as possible about the op- posing team and their pitcher, how hard the pit- cher throws, what kind of movement he does on the ball, and what pitches he relies on most. K: What does your position involve? P.Z.: In any position speed and agility are necessary skills. The ability to pick up the ball, seeing what's happening, and being able to react in a given situation. K: What do your pictures involve? P.Z.: Strict discipline is one of the most important aspects of a good practice. It helps the team achieve a sense of unity and deter- mination. Without prac- tice, the team would be a loss.

K: Are the intramural games themselves more exciting because the classes are competing against each other?

K: Are you really en- thusiastic about this program? P.W.: Yes, because I see the students enjoying themselves and that's one of the reasons I got in- volved.

They’re really ugly. They’re kind of khaki- brown. have two parts, and num- bers. They’re sometimes an ex- cuse to be late for class, but it seems teachers never believe your story. They’re everywhere — on every floor of the school. Everyone has one, but they’re not the latest rage. They give most people a reason to complain and some a serious headache. Some are written on, some even have stickers, and many get dressed up for birthdays. If you haven’t figured it out yet, they're that pesky closet we couldn’t do without: our lockers. The biggest change so far has been the installation of com- bination locks. Last year, only freshmen and sophomores used locks, and seniors laughed because we had our quick, con- venient keys (that is if you could ever find them in your purse, first). Now, it's the underclassmen who laugh, watching us struggle with those nuisances in the begin- ning of the year. Lately, the new “thing” to do is to install a locker mirror on the inside door. Most of us can barely open the things much less catch a glance of ourselves in all that mess. Speaking of mess, once you manage to shove everything through that little space they call a door, you’d be surprised at just how much really fits: coat, hightop sneakers, at least four folders, books, tie and spare blazer rack, and lunch. The problem is, however, trying to get everything out again. And, of course, don't forget that lingering smell from those three or four uneaten lunches (ones too squished to recognize, ap- parently) you never got around to getting rid of. Let's face it, though, headache and all, we couldn’t have survived without them. It’s no wonder that this student couldn't find last night’s homework. Students show no mercy during spring cleaning when practically everything in their lockers get trashed. To give their locker its own identity, many students decorate with posters and stickers. 117 Have you ever been asked ... What Do You Want to Do With Your Life? “It’s all in the cards.” Un- fortunately, many people rely on this proverb as an excuse to sit back, relax, and not worry about their futures. Here at Kennedy, however, several seniors refuse to let any “mis-shuffles” get in the way of reaching their goals. Ranging from teacher, to lawyer, to psychiatrist, Kennedy seniors seem to have a good handle on their talents and preferences when considering their future occupations. Lisa Marucci's present job relates to her future, “I work with com- puters doing programs and word processing ... I want to become a systems analyst.” Marianne McGrath also enjoys her after- school job since she’s “washing hair at A Shear Happening to get ready for my career as a hair- dresser.” Kim Brown says, “I work for the government and I plan to get into public service.” Obviously, some occupations require years of study or ap- prenticeship, so many students cannot work in their specific fields at this time. This doesn’t, however, prevent them from The future lawyers of the class of 1986 may find themselves roaming the halls of The Capitol someday. The occupation of Journalism is a demanding and competitive field which, as many other professions, requires that certain regulations be followed. making decisions about their careers. We have a few future Freuds among us; John Meehan, Kerri Santoni, and Mary Wittig all aspire to study psychology. Both Michele McCarthy and Michele Matthias will be paper chasing in the near future as they hope prac- tice law. Danielle Conners’ head will be in the clouds as she seeks out her future in the Air Force. Erin McCarthy sees herself in- structing elementary students and Karen Szczepaniak has drawn a picture of herself in the Commercial Arts field. If you ever need your taxes reviewed, just contact Michele Aimone in a few years when she has become an established accountant. How about these: Greg Curran, our friendly neighborhood elec- trician; Gina Skowronski, the future pharmacist; Carol DeSan- tis, a marketing marvel. Then, of course, there are those who yearn for the simple things in life. Tony DiBracida says, I'm going to college, get a job, get married, and brave seven or eight kids. And, as the original Pat Swan put it, “I will strive for life, liberty, and the American Way.” 118 Danielle Marie Conner Catherine Patricia Connors Kimberly Marie Conroy Stephen John Corbett Patricia Marie Coyne Gregory John Phillip Curran Bernardino D’Achille Robert Anthony D’Angelo Marie Louise DeBarberie Leigh Ann DeBelle Patricia Ann Dempsey Carol Ann DeSantis Danielle Conner, 7311 Hill Rd..

Kathy Goes For the Gold Many students never see Kathy Nolan. Why? Because she main- tains a special school schedule in order to continue her skating training. Kathy, a double gold medalist (she has passed the required eight skating tests to achieve this title) and third place winner in the Philadelphia Challenge Cup, devotes much of her time to skating. She explains in this interview: Kencensus: About how much of your time and what degree of ef- fort goes into your skating career? Kathy Nolan: During the sum- mer, I usually work five or six hours a day and in the fall, usually about four. I enjoy it so much, nothing ever really bothers me. I get frustrated sometimes, but it’s always worth it. K: How does skating affect your school and social life? K.N.: Everything really works out well with school. Kennedy's helped a lot. Other schools wouldn't have let me take the time out to skate. As far as my social life, I usually get out on weekends with my friends. K: What keeps you going? K.N.: I think my dad always wanted me to succeed and when things get tough, I think of him and how he wanted things to be. That really helps me a lot. K: What are your aspirations for your skating career? K.N.: I want to go to college and I’d still like to compete. After I’ve finished, I’d like to travel with a skating show for a year and then teach skating. I’ve always felt like I’ve accomplished a lot and I'm trying to build for my future in a skating career. Years of hard work and dedication will hopefully pay off for Kathy Nolan in her skating career. Although skating takes up much of Kathy’s time, she is able to enjoy a social life. 121 Stacie E.

On A Night to Remember There’s nothing worse than pacing in the hall, trying not to mess up your hair, walking in and out of the bathroom checking to see that your make-up isn’t smeared and you don’t have streaks under your eyes that make you look like a racoon. You’re wringing your hands, you're dizzy from an entourage of flash bulbs, and all you can think about is: “When is he going to get here?” Perhaps you’ve experienced this pre-prom tension. Or, you might be one of those teens who rushes around at the last minute, frantically searching for pearls, earrings, and shoes, leaving your poor date standing at the foot of the stairs patiently tapping his foot. What about the guys. The general opinion stands that they just take their good-old-time get- ting ready. But, no one takes into consideration the tuxedo, the flowers, the car, and the other miscellaneous things they do to prepare. Yet, when all the worry, anxiety, and panic leave and the couple is slow-dancing on the floor of the Westover Country Club to the prom’s song, it all definitely seems worth it. Kristen Gehman knows the prom will be filled with memories to last a lifetime. Ken Mondillo and his date take a moment out of the evening to enjoy a special dance. 124 Maria Ann Iannozzi Beth Anne Jackonski Kimberly Ann Jaconski George William John III Megan Patricia John Beth Theresa Johnson Robert George Kachejian Charlotte Marie Kelly Benita Marie Kingkiner Renee Marie Kiscaden Maureen Patricia Kloss Nancy Angeline Kobus Maria Iannozzi (Rhea). 101 Progress Dr., Con- shohocken. 19428.

With races such as the Hilltop Invitational, the Mill Street Run, Manhattan In- vitational, District Championship, and State Championship under his belt, he has turned observing eyes both toward himself and toward Kennedy. Kencensus: Why do you run? Paul Vandegrift: I run for the thrill of human competition, because it’s direct competition with someone else and direct competition with yourself. It’s the only sport where you can do that.” K: Who has helped you the most in your running career? P.V.: Mr. Briner's helped me quite a lot. He’s probably one of the best coaches in our area. He’s had the patience to bring me along slowly with my best in- terests in mind. K: How did you get into running? P.V.: I started in grade school because I wasn’t very good in baseball and it was something to do that I was good at. K: How has the school supported you? P.V.: Kennedy isn't a real track school as some in this area are, so it’s hard to say. I've had people who wish me luck but it’s hard because a lot of people don’t even know what's going on with the track team. Most people seem to care, though. Paul feels very positively about the future of the track and cross country teams here at Kennedy, but he wishes “more people would get involved because it’s a good sport. You don't have to be great at it to be a success.” But, viewing Paul's previous record, being great at what you do cer- tainly helps. Paul discusses running strategies with Mr. Briner, an important im- petus to Paul’s success. Paul at- tributes Briner's coaching skills to his victories. Paul’s running skills have taken him as far as the National Competition in California in which he placed fourth out of the nation. 127 Not all Kennedy seniors head ... Straight For the Beach On the final days in June, sitting patiently” in their desks, you’ll find students staring out win- dows, thinking about anything BUT homework, tests, and books. Most students daydream a perfect scenario complete with beach, ocean, suntan lotion, and lifeguards. Although most Kennedy seniors spend their glorious summer af- ternoons basking in the sun at either Wildwood or Sea Isle City, many spent the summer of 1986 engaged in activities and vacations which are certainly out of the ordinary. Staci Brodsky spent some of her summer watching the surfers in California while Mike Pagano opted for a more exotic vacation in Italy. While Beth Jaconski was playing shuffleboard on the deck of a cruiseliner, Debbie Blaisse and Danielle Conners were ex- ploring the richness of the South in Virginia, Georgia, and Ten- nessee. Braving the Big Apple, Ela Hernik visited her brother, a musician, in the heart of New 128 York City. York City. Summer wasn’t all fun and games for some serious seniors in 1986. Many decided to tem- porarily put aside their seashore getaways and attempt a different activity. Kin Brown succeeded in her venture; she entered the Miss America Coed Pageant and won the Volunteer Service Award. Our Student Council officers, Collette Nally, Marie DeBarberie, Tom Blomstrom, and Jerry Buggy, at- tended a Student Council Workshop sponsored by Bloom- sburg University. Karen Szc- zepaniak tested her talents in July at the Moore College of Art and Carol Haux attended Lockhaven University to learn more about the free enterprise system while Desiree Halas attended Penn State to learn about athletic training. Whether soaking in the sun, cruising the Gulf, or sharpening skills, the Kennedy senior vacation can be summed up in one word; exciting. Building sand castles seems like a lot of fun, but they’re really an artistic achievement. Victorian Cape May, New Jersey, from the ocean's point of view. A vacation should have a peaceful setting. What better sound than the roll of the ocean.

The experimental Applied Economics class, taught by Mr. Murray, presents a challenge to both teacher and students. In Applied Economics, Mr. Murray teaches seniors ... Corporate Ins and Outs Lately, there have been several posters cropping up around school advertising key chains, locker mirrors, and Christmas ornaments. What many students have not noticed, however, is the reason behind this sudden flourish of available items. Our Social Studies Department, under the guidance of Mr. Joe Murray, has tentatively added a new course encouraged by the Archdiocese: Applied Economics. The course is appropriately named. Taken for one semester, under this program, students learn about the business world from “hands-on” experience. Sponsored by Junior Achievement, Applied Economics students create their own cor- poration, elect officers, produce a product, and then market it. These posters have been the sole outlet of advertising in hopes of positive sales thus far. Also, a business consultant is provided for by the sponsoring corporation to each individual class to aide in their understanding of the economic processes. “It’s an excellent course for the business department,” says Mr. Murray, “but I’m not sure it belongs in the Social Studies department. The Archdiocese may want it in this department because it will hit all the students unlike a business or accounting course.” Mr. Murray still feels he needs some time to properly evaluate the course since it has only recently been installed and he hopes to have decided by Sep- tember of 1987 whether the course is in Kennedy to stay. 131 Brian Douglas Rathgeb Christine Marie Razzano Jeannine Reed William Joseph Reid Andrea Claire Robison Robert Douglas Salazar Ivo Louis Salvi Mauro Luke Salvi Drew Gerard Samtmann Kerri Anne Santoni George Anthony Sautner Bryan Lester Schaffer Brian Rathgeb, 2216 Oakwyn Rd..

In Liberty In 1986, Archbishop Kennedy was hit with a very interesting proposition. The 1987 senior class was asked if they would like to become a significant part of the Statue of Liberty. How? Since the restoration has already been com- pleted, the Kodak Printing Com- pany has devised a way to mod- ernize the lobby of the statue and has placed a computer in the lob- by equipped with a huge screen. The printing studio sent out flyers to various schools across the s Heart United States and asked them if they would like to participate by having their senior class picture placed in the computer. To gain access to the picture while inside the statue, all one would have to do is punch in the designated codes and names of the school and watch as the class picture appears on the screen. In order for this group shot to be placed in the computer, the class would have to order at least one hundred copies of the photo, Archbishop Kennedy High’s senior class show their enthusiasm as the photographer takes the “crazy shot. Lady Liberty stands on Ellis Island as a symbol of America’s freedom to in- coming immigrants. however. That was the deal. When Ms. Murry received the flyer, she did not hesitate to act and immediately called the studio since she felt it was something definitely worth pursuing. Although Kennedy did not fill the required quota, many seniors still ordered and received these ex- ceptional pictures. Hopefully, this opportunity will surface again next year. Let’s hope opportunity knocks twice. 134 Scott Howard Strittmatter Patrick Francis Swan Karen Maria Szczepaniak Charles Leonard Tammany Scott Anthony Thorpe Daniel Joseph Tinneny Joseph Thomas Tinneny Paul Richard Vandegrift William Edward Vaughan Theresa Marie Vermuth Flavia Maria Vettorazzi Jason S.

Greg Stimmler and Frank Steitz take a good look at their newly received rings, anticipating the moment when they can place them on their fingers. Dan Tinneny turns the ring of Lisa Marucci in accordance with the lasting tradition. The symbol of senior security ... Wrapped Around Your Finger March 13, 1986: The class of 1987 is assembled in Archbishop Kennedy’s cafeteria, anxiously awaiting the culmination of the past five months’ expectation: the reception of their class rings. Ms. Murry silenced the junior line-up, and the class was ready to proceed into Tracy Hall. The mass proceeded in the usual ritual, but the obvious difference was in the air. As Father Canavan stood, took the microphone, and began to address the class for the homily, that sense of specialness was more than apparent. He spoke of remembering high school moments and treasuring the education that went along with it. Both the students and their parental guests eagerly listened. Finally, the moment of truth. Names were called out alphabetically and each student walked up to Fr. Canavan to receive their celebrated rings. Ms. Murry also handed out car- nations to every member of the class to be handed to their par- ents after the mass. Eagerly, everyone literally ripped open the plastic seal and tried on their rings. To fit or not to fit? That was the question. Fingers were cer- tainly sore by the end of the night; the prescribed number of turn- ings was eighty-seven. Still, no one could doubt that they definitely look great on their fingers. Father Canavan hands David Baratucci his class ring as Ms. Murry gives him a carnation to present to his parents. A symbol of unity, school rings give students a sense of spirit which exudes togetherness. The annual ring mass is a perfect way to celebrate this unity. 137 Hot vs. Not Favorite Least Favorite Color Blue Green Number 13 13 Restaurant Toland’s Ponderosa Mall King of Prussia Plymouth Meeting Fast Food Burger King McDonald’s Hangout Roxborough Burger King Song Stairway to Heaven Heartbeat Group Genesis Wham Male Vocalist Phil Collins Donlohnson Female Vocalist Pat Benatar Tina Turner Hobby Sports Stamp Collecting Movie Top Gun Pee Wee’s Greatest Adventure Subject Math American Government Activity Football Homework Clothes Store Macy's K-Mart Magazine Sports Illustrated Teen Book Outsiders School Books Sport Football Golf Actor Bruce Willis Pee Wee Herman Actress Cybil Shepherd Brooke Shields Comedian Eddie Murphy loan Rivers Soap Opera General Hospital General Hospital TV Show Moonlighting A-Team Pet or Animal Dog Cat Car Porsche V.W.

Marie DeBarberie, Carol Haux, and Karen Szczepaniak prove that once their uniforms were once new. 142 Naa!! This couldn’t be Paul Van- degrift, Scott Strittmatter, and Ted Franks. My, how they have changed. Even as freshmen Pat Swan, Donald Staudenmayer, and Brian Rathgeb proudly walked as the Saints wearing those lovely derbies. The seniors have spent four years at Kennedy. Can you remember ... Way Back When Four years ... Four years of homework, sweat, parties, and dancing. Four years of friend- ships, fights, laughter, and tears. They’ve sped by at a velocity close to the speed of light. It seems as if it was only yesterday that we wore those derbies and sang We love you, Seniors” during Spirit Week. Wasn't it just a week ago that we witnessed our first homecoming parade and traveled to the Smithsonian in Washington? Many things have happened during our years at Kennedy — things we will never forget. Then again, who couldn’t remember Latin classes and Physical Science? Or, freshman gym classes and Mr. T’s “Lectures on life in World cultures? Or, how about those impossible Algebra I problems we had to tackle for the first time. We have come such a long way. Now, the Senior Class of 1987 has the distinct privilege of walking on the Senior Stairs. Yet, remember a short time ago when we wouldn't be caught dead on those steps? We are the class whose students have seen many new changes happen at Kennedy: the resurrection of The Mirror, the installation of many new clubs, and the performance of the now-famous Hooters in our very own Tracy Hall. Certainly, in years to come, we will look back on our time at Ken- nedy, all the dances and assem- blies and friendships, and smile because these definitely are the “best of times. When Library Skills was required for Freshmen, Benita Kingkiner and Amy Wright take the knowledge lear- ned and put it to use. They may say they were never fresh- men, but a picture says a thousand words. 143 After four years of learning, graduation day has finally arrived. COOKE PUBLISHING COMPANY DEVON, PENNSYLVANIA Graduates and their contributions are ... A Permanent Echo A sudden hush creeps over the class of 1987 as the graduates realize these are their final moments as a Kennedy senior. Tears trickle down a few flushed cheeks. Many graduates are lost in a reverie — thinking about their last four years and assessing all they have accomplished. Many silent promises are made concerning a future as real and immediate as the next second on the clock. Minds switch to for- ward, not reverse, now and these memories become permanently etched in their hearts. Tears of sadness are now transformed into tears of joy and anticipation. It hasn't been simply another “stage in life which is now passing and which will eventually be forgotten. Kennedy lives in the memory of these graduates and their contributions to the school have become a permanent echo in its halls. 144 Although this is their final walk as the class of 1987, it is a step into the future.
