It's as if someone suddenly moved those rungs thinking that we must have grown some through the years. The only problem is that our minds now rush farther ahead than they did before. We are no longer concerned who is going to be the Indian or the Cowboy, nor are we concerned about who is going to wear the glass slippers the next day. As our heads settle into the softness of the pillow, we instead think about the next twenty years and wonder how and when we'll ever get there. 4 Jose Acosta Fabio Alvarez Bonnie Anderson MikeAngeloni Laurie Antalek Dawn Babcock Blake Barber Tammy Bardwell KEROSENE TONYS SERVICE STATION American Foreign Car Repair N.Y.S.

They followed an abbreviated schedule of their son’s daughter’s program. Many confused parents, some former BHS graduates, were unable to locate rooms and had to be aided by members of the Key Club. Things gradually moved smoothly, as parents and teachers found each other. During lunch and study periods, the parents lounged in our lunchroom, where refreshments were served. Generally parents found the evening interesting and informative. 37 39 niorA uA. Eludenti am JeacherA The Student-Teacher Volleyball Match put on by the senior class strictly for the fun of it provided an enjoyable evening for all who attended despite the season's first snow. The teachers, male and female, were defeated in spite of their valiant efforts. Great plays were made by all sides, and there were even a few spikes. In the final, the boys beat the girls, composed mainly of the volleyball team, who did not go down in defeat easily. For pictures of the girls, turn to pages 4445. 40 41 Jet We Out!!! People hang around outside BHS for a lot of reasons. Some people like to talk, listen to music, pursue happiness and MAYBE a breath of fresh air. Someone can always be found outdoors, even in winter, choosing the company of friends instead of the work inside. nm niorA vA X ouncfincj Lunch is an opportunity for people to relax a bit, spend some time with their friends, and eat. Students get a chance to clown around or once in a great while, do homework.

Many people spoke to the attending congregation, telling them how to apply to their lives the ideas and dreams of Dr. King. The people mourned the loss of a great man and recognized his life and his sacrifice once again as the inspirational deeds they were. Sadness was in evidence over the loss of this man of vision and wisdom whose story had only just begun. 65 umorS Somewhere within the midst of the crowd drifts the Juniors. They are somewhat confused after reading Emerson and Thoreau. American History doesn’t help them to see where they ’re going either as they look at the problems of the past and face those of the future. Some will decide where they are going and who they are by the end of the Junior year. Others will aimlessly wander and be caught up in the midst of the crowd as if they were leaves being forced down a stream by the rush of the oncoming current which hurriedly pushes them to their destination.

Under the leadership of Mr. Billups, who is assisted by Ms. Gilchrist, students find a remarkable organization which is designed to serve them. Once inside the office, Tanya Horton takes over. She is acting as secretary in the absence of Mrs. Gunn. GEORGE BILLUPS. JR. BARBARA GILCHRIST 94 KATHY MCCORMICK NANCY RIKERT Attendi ance “Who’s here? Who’s not here? Who cares?” The attendance office does care who's not here. They have to - it's their job. Without the “Boss”and her entourage, the records would be chaos. With luck they'll go computerized in a few years and it will be a lot easier to take attendance. Linda Babcock. Jean Serino. Deanna Malouf, Sharon Winckles, Lone Hoffman. Paula Sandford.

These counselors help students arrange schedules, revise computerized schedules and assist in applying to colleges. They continue to help our past graduates by sending transcripts and letters to their selected schools. Mrs. Garrison’s long ex- perience in the Guidance Department helps filter out those problems which could detract from the efficiency of the Depart- ment. This is Mr. Mordas last year with us at BHS; we wish him a fond farewell. RUTH PERALTA JOSEPH MORDAS 95 The language and its mastery are two of the most difficult goals a student faces in high school. Leading students through with leuity is the province of Mr. Dunn; while a cool, calm atmosphere pervades Mrs. Pennybacker’s class. Mrs. Davis dishes up rare fare and Mr. Bell has a unique technique. Students finally face English 12 under the tutelage of Mr. Laing, the Lord of Lighthearted Language; and Mrs. Hopper who runs the home for happy Hamlet handlers. Anyone who survives this department deserves a commendation. WALTER BELL Science Nature's wonders come into view through the skill of Beacon High’s science teachers. Under their watchful gazes, students explore the mysteries of the world and uniuerse. New discoueries lie close to old achievements in this field of eternal darkness where everyone seeks the light of knowledge. In an ever- growing realm, people can catch a glimpse of the possibilities of what is and what may be. MARION CORDER SANDRA GLADDEN JUDITH DAMPMAN EUGENE KOSA IflflatliematicA The skills needed to find almost any value are available here from simple mathematics to the intricate arts of Advanced Calculus. A student can go as far as he wishes entering into new worlds of knowledge which include time and spatial relationships. The large field is very well covered by the knowledge and practiced skills of our faculty members. ARTHUR MARKEL HELEN ROWAN 99 Social Attidi iei Knowledge of the past and its euents is the key to the future. This is the feeling which prevails in the classes of Beacon High s history teachers. The battles of the past are fought again and those of the present are examined in the hope of finding solutions. The world’s memorable events can be viewed and the great voices heard once more. Students use the past to get a grip on the present and to set their course for the future. JOHN GAUQUIE LOUIS WARREN 100 DAVID KLEBE LORRAINE KOVERDA DOROTHY AMODIO RENEE RUFFIN (75uMne5S The skills necessary for success in business can be learned here from a number of courses and teachers.

ELVIRA BUTTLER HELEN SAVOIT oCcitin Latin, the oldest language taught here, is the mother language of many modem tongues. Once spoken in the Catholic Church, it has grown into our times with grace and continues to be taught to students who seek a glimpse of history. Guided through time by Mrs. Sauoit, students hear great voices raised again. Perhaps they will raise their own voices in such speech one day. junior ( lassicaf -jCecique Preserving the Roman way of life is the purpose of this organization, which holds Roman banquets and other fetes at various times.

Students leam under the guidance of Monsieur Klensch, the local French expert. French friends find fun and friends in French classes. In conclusion, one can discover many things there, including a new world to explore. 103 J4ome Economics Students learn the skills that will help them run their own household from Mrs. Ortquist who teaches them sewing, cooking, child care and more necessities. The class has held a number of events such as a dinner for members, as well as a Christmas party for the mentally retarded at Nelsonville Home. 104 ANN PETRIE LOUISE BYERS Mealtli With Mrs. Byers guiding us, we rid ourselves of ignorance on topics such as alcohol, drugs and VD. Students begin to understand their bodies and the mysteries within. Our resident nurse, Mrs. Petrie, besides amazing students with her knowledge of names, provides the more practical side of health: band-aids, bed rest, temperature taking and sending students home when more serious illness threatens. 105 To create a work of art requires great skill and patience, as well as insight and a good subject. Taught by the Old Master himself, Dr. Tlumak, and new talent, Mrs. Harris, it offers photography, painting, sculpture, and more to young artists. This department comprises an integral part of the students' education in the finer things of life. DR.

If he works with his hands and his brain, he is a craftsman; but if he works with his hands, his brain and his heart, he is an artist.” The ability to create functional beauty with the hands is one of the things teachers here seek to impart to their students. A sense of dedication is appreciated, and a good eye is another popular attribute among these masters of the crafts. All those who are interested are wlecome to try their hand at creating something new.

UNDA CHEN BARBARA RATH Jit rary The library is considered home by the studious section of the student body and the others who go there to talk. Run by Mrs. Chen and her aides, it is a quiet place overflowing with information and volumes of Ancient lore. The library wouldn’t run without the aides, who replace books, stamp them out, and provide other valuable services. Actually, the library and the aides, headed by Mrs. Chen, are an invaluable source of knowledge. Cil)rary 4ide. Linda Babcock. Leanne Berthiaume. Blanche Mellina. Janet Metzger. Lisa Nelson 110 The ability to read is a valuable skill in today's world of newspapers, signs and computerized printing. A student can improve his reading ability by taking a course which teaches the skills needed to read quickly and more effectively. A student will gain something which will never desert him no matter what he does for a living or if he reads simply for the pleasure of it. Perhaps he will enter the world of literature, a journey into adventure. HARRIET JACOBS 111 J£)viver$ Education Safety on the road is the prime concern of this course, taught by Mr. Steffanci the first quarter and Mr. Gauriloff the other three. In the car, students can wind up with anyone of a number of teachers, including Mr. Gauriloff, Mr. Steffanci, Mr. Borghard or Coach” Schell. At the end of this course, a student is prepared to enter the roadway with enough skill and knowledge to drive safely. JAMES GAURILOFF 112 CLEMENTINE MclNTOSH Special Education These classes cover their subjects comprehensively for those whose abilities are exceptional in scope. Ms. Laganaro and Mrs. McIntosh teach the students a wide variety of topics so that they too have an equal chance. 113 oCunchroom In addition to a free period, lunch provides an opportunity to eat the uarious foods prepared by the staff.

These people haue set examples for others to follow. Mrs. Gunn worked hard as secretary for many years and set a record for excellence. Mr. Borghard filled a dual purpose in Industrial Arts and Drivers’ Education, doing both with skill and finesse. Mr. Mordas has been a fine Guidance Counselor with a history of wisdom and common sense to his credit. The careers of these people haue been fulfilling and useful. We wish them well in their new lives. 189 The final pages of this book are for those of us who worked long and hard to make it what it is. There was a price to pay in terms of mental and physical health. Our “Illustrious” Editor, Marie Schettino, having taken the many short jokes thrown at her in a tall way, has embarked on a crash growth program. The darkroom staff of David Chain, Eric Schmidt and Howard Riggs has developed tunnel vision. This may explain why they may have lost some of the over 1,000 pictures they printed. Across the room, artist Beth Chaisson has done so many impressions that she is now schizophrenic. Dr. Tlumak hopes she and Jane Wasnorowicz will recover in time for next year. Jane also suffers from a chronic shaking of the hands which affects her artwork. Literary Editor Kimble Knapp has developed terminal writer's cramp, for which there is no known cure. Thanks to assistance from Jennifer Schmidt, all of the write-ups (about 300) were done in time. Paul A. Rosmilso took the task of typing these many words, a mind-boggling job, in addition to being Business Manager and having to deal with unpaid bills. Layout expert Jose Acosta has developed nightmares of being “boxed in,” while our Social Director (errand girl), Jessica Reinhoehl, has been reduced to crawling in exhaustion. E r. Tlumak, our faithful advisor, has come down with an allergy to meatball heroes, and triple- duty people Howard Riggs and Eric Schmidt, who helped with business, forgot how to count. Others who helped in business are Diane Curtin, who continually got lost on assignment; Karen Smalenski; Beth Viera; Liz Myler; and Sue and Ann Piccone, all of whom braved the elements to seek out money for our book. A few other people helped a lot. At what, who knows? But Katy Colton, Carol DiTullo and Dolores Jones came. Everybody who came worked hard without pay of any kind. Weren’t they foolish? These people 191 gave up their Friday nights, a few other nights, and some even came in during week-long vacations to get this masterpiece done on time. This was made necessary due to deadlines. As they approached, the artroom grew quiet. Fear began to mount and the signs were soon seen. Fred’s voice was raised a bit, and Marie's temper grew even shorter than before. This dreaded thing forced the staff into something they disliked intensely, WORK! They did a lot of it to get this book done so that it would come out before August. 192 mmm
