Bacon Academy - Baconian Yearbook (Colchester, CT)

Text from Pages 1 - 168 of the 1978 volume:

BACONIAN 1978 The Class of 1978 is honored to dedicate our yearbook to Mr. John Long who has guided our class and aided us in many important decisions. He has earned our respect and admiration and in so doing has become our friend. Teachers who can get their subject matter across and still allow a friendly atmosphere to prevail in their classrooms become respected educators during the school year and friends to be long remembered during the years to come. Therefore, the 1978 Yearbook Staff dedicates Baconian 1978 to Mr. Fred O'Neal, for we feel he is such a teacher.

But I've loved these days. MEMORIES Smiles that slowly fade away; good times that are lost in the dusty corners of your mind. How irritating it muust be to only remember bits of things. Still you try to organize the pieces so that they make sense. It comes with age, they say, but you con- tinue to grope back in the dark, dank corners; trying to live in a world that died years ago. Then it ends, no more bits and pieces that never seem to fit together. The memories fade into the past, becoming part of those who still live in a world of fan- tasy. And what will happen when all knowledge of the past diminishes, only to become a legend? Who knows what will happen to the girl who stands so solemnly in her graduation gown forever preserved in a glass frame? — C. Peterson IN MEMORIAM Sandy Anable — Class of 1978 Today I am still close to you in spirit. . . — Albert Camus The Class of '78 This year's Senior Class was a busy one, sponsoring and participating in many important events. Their money raisers included an Inter- national Dinner, a candy drive, the annual Senior Follies, and an election day bake sale. The money they raised went towards the pay- ment of the Senior Banquet, picnic, luncheon and graduation. They also had enough money left over to donate a band uniform to the school. The spirit raising events of the Class of '78 were just as numerous. Two members of the class were foreign exchange students — Teresa Carrasco Vargas of Chile and Tracey Ward from Australia. They had a dress up day to prove that they were the class with class and a baccalaureate service in honor of the fact that this was the one hundred and seventy-fifth graduating class of Bacon Academy. The more active members of the class included president Gary Bowling, vice president Dan Stanavage, secretary Lesley Frost, treasurer Beth Carli and Student Council members Joyce Turner (officer). Sue Cassarino (officer), Denise Rutka (officer), Andrea Pagliaccio. Joe Ruiz, and Jayne Willwerth. I. to r.: Don Stanavage. vice president: Lesley Frost, secretary: Beth Carli, treasurer: Gary Bowling, president To future Yearbook Editors we leave elastic deadlines. To future class presidents we leave the imagination to think up fund raisers other than International Dinners and Dinner Theatres. To the student body of 1978- 79 we leave a worn faculty. To future Seniors we leave a hard act to follow. 43 Compliments of RAY'S PHARMACY Main Street. Col. CT USA EVERETT I. Elinor Daggett, leave the future trea- surer of the Bacon Academy Band hope- fully a set of balanced books.

MARY GRACE ADAMS 45 RICHARD EIFLER I, Mary Grace Adams, leave my seat on the cross country bus to Cindy, and to Mr. Aloia the much desired position of president of the Red Sox Fan Club. Don’t walk behind me. I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me. I may not fol- low. Just walk beside me and be my friend.

Be not angry that you cannot make others as you wish them to be. since you cannot make yourself as you wish to be. ANDREA PAGLIACCIO I. Denise Rutka. leave many memories and good times with hopes of having many more in the future. I want to travel as far as I can go. I want to reach the joy that's in my soul. And change the limitations that I know. And feel my wind and spirit grow: I want to live, exist, to be.’ And hear the truths inside of me. — Doris Warshay DENISE RUTKA Life comes and goes, I tried to make the best of it. MICHAEL FEDUS - t H© who blends himself a joy doth the winged life destroy: He who catches joy as it flies lives in eternity's sunrise. V I Warren Anderson, leave my cadaver to the advanced biology class of 78-79 for dissection, to further their knowledge of science.

Mike Fedus. leave my fist print indented on my locker to add to the rest of the collection of brutalized lockers. No matter what school you acknowledge from whether it's Bacon or the richest school in the state you can still be hotter than hell or cold as ice but you are what you are. MARK POOLE DEBRA OUELLETTE Faith is the substance of things hoped for. the evidence of things not seen. BETTY BARNA I. Deb Ouellette, leave Mrs. Fedus the Bazooka Bubble Gum Company.

Sheila Deletesky. leave all my adoles- cent problems to any deserving fresh- man who is naive enough to believe they all end upon leaving Bacon Academy.

Take my word you're leaving too soon. — Barry Maniiow DOROTHY BALDI TERESA CARRASCO VARGAS BARBARA DeNORA I Barbara DeNora. leave my seat in Mr. Lander's French class to my sister Irene in hopes that she will enjoy it even more than I did.

Well I have lost some time but I have won. And if you make it through, you know you’ve just begun. What lies behind you and what lies before you are tiny matters compared to what lies within you. I. Maureen Gitlitz. leave a parking spot on the tar to anyone who can find it. MAUREEN GITLITZ I. Lesley Frost, leave knowing that all my dreams are just a little bit closer, coming more within my reach everyday. I am not anxious to be the loudest voice, or the most popular. . . But. I would like to think that at a crucial moment. I was an effective voice of the voiceless — and an effective hope of the hopeless. LESLEY FROST I. Conrad Hayes, leave gladly. Do not in a moment estrange a friend whom it has taken a lifetime to secure. CONRAD HAYES THERESA SCHOELL TINASTACKOWSKI I.

PAULA TARANTO £ MAN VM� BETH CARLI Only those who can see the invisible can do the impossible. I. Beth Carli, leave my imaginative activities to anyone who wants to carry them on.
