We, As Bacon's Tapestry, Comprise A Varying Portrait: We Are The Athlete, The Comedian, The Student, And The Artist. 2 And Academic 4 Experience. 5 THE 1980 BACONIAN DEDICATION The 1979-1980 yearbook is dedicated not to teachers or staff members, but to those students who make the school work. By this we mean not only class officers and representatives, but also the quiet, diehard workers who slip in and stay until the last pot is scrubbed or the last pie is sold. These are the people free of ostentation. They rarely head projects, but they are dependable enough to live under the constant demands of those who do. We will not list them, as we would overlook many; but they are aware. So here's to them, the workers, in hopes that this vague recognition will suffice for richly deserved praise. FACULTY The Weavers Of Our Tapestry To Shape And Order The Mind: The Awesome Responsibility Of Those Who Teach. To Sharpen And Apply The Mind: The Awesome Responsibility Of Those Who Learn.

No, that's not the wonder! Getting the students to form the numbers eight and three that would look like 83 in a photo was something else! If you think they had difficulty in ordering themselves, try to find a friend of yours. Led by Mrs. Weeman and nudged by Mr. Rusconi. Mrs. Norris, and Mrs. Brown, the class of 1983 has worked to create and boost its treasury by holding a bake sale, presenting an album-raffle, and collecting dues. Much energy and some success have prompted the class to plan a tag sale, a car wash, a class booklet, and another bake sale.

The class sponsored a pot luck supper prior to the Bacon Academy Christmas Concert. Getting class rings, often the most important aspect of the class year, raised the spirit and enlarged the expectation of those who were, but are yet to be, the sophomores. -1 Albert. Carl Archer.

Although these individuals will be missed, there are many capable young athletes awaiting the opportunity to become the new heroes of the Bobcat faithful. The coaching staff of Bacon Academy is now faced with the task of molding this new talent into the competitive teams which are indicative of this school. Inexperience may prove troublesome at times, but if the past is any indication of what is to be. the athletes and fans of Bacon Academy will rise to meet the challenge. Now let the Class of SO speak for itself. The 1979 Boys’ Cross Country team with only three veterans, senior captain Joe Sanford, sophomore Dave Wilson and junior Nick Koes, had a very successful 12-6 season. The addition of four freshmen. Darrin Eisman. Jim Meacham. Doug Adkins and Jeff Small; a senior. Eric Shutt; and a sophomore. Ed Kredor, enabled the team to place second in the C.O.C. and eighth in the State Class 'S'. This year’s Most Valuable Runner was Joe Sanford who placed first in the C.O.C. and first in the Eastern Sectionals. The team’s number three runner, Darrin Eisman. earned the Best Novice award, and Most Improved went to Doug Adkins.

With the addition of three new underclassmen. Junior Diane Drouil- lard and Freshmen Colleen Watson and Susan Ferling. the Bobkittens finished the season with a 7-9 record. This year letter winners were: Laurie Knutsen. Glynis Park Carol Anilowski. Diane Drouillard, and Sue Ferling. Most Valuable Runner was Carol Anilowski. Best Novice was Susan Ferling. Most Improved Runner went to Colleen Watson and a special award was given to Glynis Park for taking the longest showers.

Soccer Team finished the season with a 9-3-1 record. Such a record seems to predict much success for the 1980 varsity team.

Hopefully, more practice com- bined with their strong sense of determination and dedica- tion will produce a winning record for the last half of their season. 89 Chris Barry Bill Morrison Boys’ Varsity Basketball Chris Barry Dave Daigle Dan Gardner Troy Gardner Brian Goodwin Marc Gulhart Jim Magson Dave Morgan Bill Morrison Erik Randlov Matt Tallman John Young captains Dave Daigle Erik Randlov 90 Under the coaching of David Shea and the leader- ship of Co-captains Jim Magson and Marc Guthart. the Bobcats have thus far maintained an 8-2 record. The remaining half of the season should prove to be just as successful if the team continues to play with the amount of skill and comradship it has shown so far. Co-captain Jim Magson The 1979-80 Boys’ J-V Basketball team has proved to be almost as successful as the Varsity team. Led by Coach John McKiernan. these players have exhibited the skill and deter- mination neccessary to become future Varsity ball players.

Jeannine Lamb, has one of the best attitudes ever shown in a Girls’ J-V team. If they continue to present their determination and good sportsmanship throughout the re- mainder of the season, this year will be a successful one.

Led by Coach Donald Levine and sen- ior captain Sandy Peay, the Bobkittens look forward to a victorious season. Their record is now 7-5. Hope- fully, by the end of the season, they will reach their ten-game goal and become eligible for the state tour- naments.

Some families hosted people from Colches- ter. England; others provided room and board for the Rotary exchange students from abroad. The Lions' Club sponsored the summer ex- change program for teenagers. Scholarships and voter registration were brought into the school. Local merchants, politicians, and profession- als visited Bacon to speak of their field and careers. This resurge of energy has provided many people the feeling of a closer and smaller com- munity.

Warren, Jr. Robert P. Warren. Jr. has been principal at Bacon Academy since 1976. In effect, he has followed the class since eighth grade gradu- ation; and he will be there when we turn the tassels in 1980. This relatively long association has allowed us to learn about our principal. First of all. we have noticed that he is a disciplinarian. Disciplinar- ians are not the most popular people, as they expect great improve- ments in people and adherence to the rules. The work of a disciplinar- ian is not Mr. Warren's favorite job. He does it because it must be done. He is actually quite adaptable and flexible in his policies, as any reasonable student will find. Mr. Warren’s sense of humor is a refreshing quality. He is able to laugh at himself and put others at ease, a very important aspect of anyone in a position of authority. Probably the quality that most would not be reluctant to admit is his diligence. He is an extremely hard worker who devotes himself to a job or a cause and sees it through. He attends most meetings and extra- curricular activities. With the qualities of adaptability, humor, and hard work. Robert P. Warren is a principal par excellence. 119 From Those Who Bought To Those Who Buy: Hub Ford Sales. Inc.

Giving up of time after school and on weekends, going back again and again to certain businesses, and hoping to meet the quota set by Mrs. Norris. Nevin Alpert proved to himself and to us on the yearbook staff to be the Outstanding Salesman of Ads for Baconian 1980. Michelle Labbe To be a successful freshman is enough to please most people; but to be an effective and productive salesman of yearbook ads and to be a freshman at the same time, that is really something. Mrs. Fedus Our thanks for cooperative production, the aid that made our effort practicable and pleasant. Glynis Park Our business editor who learned to manage a school-wide sales force, be responsible for all re- cords and monies, and to update Mrs. Norris on a daily basis of sales and numbers of names to be imprinted.

Throughout her four years in high school Sandy has played on the Girls Varsity Basketball team and she was named Most Valuable member of the Girls Track team four John Shea John was a member of the Varsity Basketball and Varsity Baseball teams. He earned the Best Novice awards in both of these sports and shows much prom- ise for the future. Matt has played and excelled in three sports: Soccer. Basketball, and Baseball. Many believe that he has the talent and capability to become one of the best players that Bacon has ever produced. Sue Ferling Sue was a member of the Girls Cross Country. Varsity Basketball and Truck teams. She was named Best Novice in all three. Through-out the Cross Country season she was Bacon's 2 runner and during Basketball she start- ed a majority of the games.
