Belfast Central School - Belorea Yearbook (Belfast, NY)

Text from Pages 1 - 96 of the 1987 volume:

You have reached a major goal in your lives—you'll soon be high school graduates! Congratulations—I'm very proud of each of you. We've tried to teach you math, language, and all the other subjects you'll need to know to be a productive member of society. We've tried to give you a sense of belonging, both to a school and to a community—Belfast. But most of all, I hope we've given you a sense of pride in yourself and the realization that the human spirit and your desire to be successful will contribute to the individual you finally become. It is the human spirit that allows an individual to surpass the ordinary. Without it, all aspirations would be quantitative—our limiting factors would allow some of us a great deal of success, some a little success, some no success. But the human spirit can transcend the reality of our abilities. It was the human spirit that allowed a Vietnam war veteran to spend three years walking across America— on his hands. It was the human spirit that allowed Terry Fox to run across America with a prosthesis on the stump of a leg he lost to cancer. And it's the human spirit that allows each of us to rise above the measurable levels of ability and skill to reach a goal. Use your education, use all the tools we've provided you with. Look beyond what you THINK you are, and the realities you per- ceive. What you can do with your mind and your hands will accom- plish a reasonable goal. It will be your heart and the spirit that will allow you to surpass what you CAN do and make your dreams come true. Robert Bouldin Superintendent It is a pleasure for me to extend greetings to you, the Class of 1987, as you prepare for your graduation. For some of you it may seem that time spent at Belfast Central School has been an eternity. In fact, your years in high school will represent a very small portion of your life, however, the knowledge you have obtained here will be the foundation for many years of additional educational experiences and life experiences that can, if you use them wisely, launch you into a successful future. I salute you for your academic achievements and high standard of conduct you used while you attended Belfast Central School, and at the same time, I challenge you to remain receptive to the ideas and experiences you will encounter in your future. It will be important for you to continue to grow academically, and in your sensitivity to the needs of those around you. Please come back and visit us. Let us know how we can make Belfast Central a better school. May God continue to bless you in all that you do. Dennis Doell Principal Board Of Education Seated: Mrs. B. Foley, Mr. D.

Jose Javier Carrillo, 17 is from Santa Marta, Co- lombia. His decision to come to the U.S. was mainly because he wanted to spend some time learning English before going to the university, where he will study industrial engineering. Jose said that he likes Belfast because the people here are friendly and the size of the town is just right. He would definitely like to come here again. When asked to sum up Belfast in a few words, Jose said that it was magnifico. Susumu Watanabe, who is also seventeen, is our exchange student from Japan. He learned of the exchange program through a newspaper in Tokyo, his home city. Susumu says that he decided to be- come an exchange student because he wanted to travel and to learn more about a different way of life. One of the things Susumu especially enjoys about this area are the sports programs, in which he is actively involved. He also likes the girls here. He used the word great to sum up his view of Belfast, saying he would like to return some day. This Page Sponsored By B.C.S. Student Council SPORTS This year's Boys' Soccer season was filled with excitment and dedication, the county re- cord was 7 wins and 9 losses and the overall record was 10 and 10. The team played with a great deal of desire and commitment to each other. They went to the final game in the sec- tional tournament and were defeated after a fine game. Their teamwork and effort will be remembered for many years. First team all- stars were Rick Lyman, Chuck Brundage, and Tim McCumiskey. The second team all-stars included David Vinelli and Steve Boyd. Jeff Szymanski and Steve Boyd were this year's captains. High scorers were Steve Boyd and Rick Lyman. Seniors Jeff Szymanski, Steve Boyd, Tim McCumiskey, Tom McCumiskey, Chuck Brundage, David Vinelli, Aran Heaney, and Kevin Enders will be greatly missed next year. SENIOR ATHLETES: S. Boyd. J.

Tracey Atherton was the team's leading scorer with goals. Congratulations to Tracy Atherton and Chrissy Green who were selected to the County All-Star Team. Seniors, Rachel Bunt, Shari Johnson, Lisa Jerge, Amy Chalker, Pam Barrett, and Aileen Krzos will be greatly missed next year. Congrat- ulations girls on an excellent season. Keep up the good work!

The girls ranked third in the county, tying with Rushford and giving them a sure spot in the Sectionals. The entire team worked hard with enthusiasm and dedication. But high hopes were halted when they lost to Fillmore in the first round of Sectionals. Donna Brauen led the team with over 120 points. Cheryl Corbitt and Diane McCumiskey led the team in kills. Captain, and 1st setter Sheila Preston held the team together contributing greatly in every aspect of the game. Seniors Lisa Jerge and Preston will be truly missed next year. Sheila Preston and Diane McCumiskey were named to the County All-Star team. Cheryl Corbitt and Sheila earned All-Star trophies in tournament play. Congratulations to the J.V. team. They were great and improved last year's record to 4 and 5. This was the first year for Mens Volleyball at Belfast and although they had a losing record they were well respected by the other teams in the county. The games were very close but the guys lacked the experience to overcome their opponents. Highlights of the season included placing 4fh in the Cuba Tournament and beating second-seeded Addison in straight games. Clark Guilford and Susumu Watanabe led the team in points. David Vinelli led the team in kills, and earned an All-Star trophy in the Scio Tournament. The J.V. team's record was 5 and 6. These guys were all Super, and certainly knew how to work-I'm proud of them! commented Coach Lutz. SENIOR ATHLETES: S. Watanabe, D. Vinelli, C. Brundage, J. Syzmanski, K.

Congratulations to senior players Rich Thornton and Tom Parker who did a great job and will be greatly missed next year. Coach Sullivan summed up the season by saying, I am very proud to be associated with such a fine group of young men. The Girls' Softball team had a very successful season this year. Every year there is more improvement, as well as better playing. Our league record was 6- 4. Overall our record was 6-5. We had a few close games against teams that we have never defeated before. We kept our heads and never gave up. In some of the games, we were victorious, in othes we weren't. Most importantly we did our best! Although we lost in the first round of the sectionals to Cohocton, we had a good solid season and we are very proud of this team! Our seniors, Kelva Borden, Dynette DeRock, Dixie Thornton, and Ronda Kish will be greatly missed next year.

Andy Doell and Mike Schul represented Belfast at county play-offs in singles action, while Eric Melaro and Karen Babbitt played doubles.

Someone hitting me in the jaw It is time that we say good-bye and leave our school with a sigh to start a new life now on our own to go to places we've never known. To meet new people and make new friends as our Senior year comes to an end. We'll miss it here, we can not lie but we'll dry our tears and say good-bye. Please don't forget our names when we have gone. Sing the words of our class song. Remember the laughter we brought to you and the good times that we've shared too. As we leave, here is one wish for you good luck in whatever you decide to do follow your dreams wherever they may lead don't ever give up until you succeed. Here it is, our final good-bye please excuse us if we begin to cry because it's just so hard leaving you you'll be remembered . . . . . . and we hope to be remembered too. by Joanne Baker
