They are the times we'll think back on years from now and remember with a nostalgic sigh . . . . .. They are the best times of our lives. Each day holds new and exciting experiences along with the chance to take advantage of the freedom from responsibility and make the most of those experiences. These are the times we'll recall when anyone mentions the good old days. What we have now we should make the most of. We'll never have a second chance at life, never have a chance to relive these days, except in our minds. Pictuu Pvrtdtd By Mi.

Please come back and visit us We need to know how we can make Belfast Central School a better school. Dennis M Doell Principal This has been a special year in the Belfast Central School District — a committee of school personnel and local citizens has begun work on compiling a history of our school district It is fitting to pay tribute to those educational pioneers who could not possibly have foreseen how their sense of commitment and belief in the value of education would impact you. the 1988 graduating class. While their initiative served an immediate need in Belfast, they demonstrated wisdom and foresight, and perhaps most impor- tantly. a profound faith in the future generations of our communi- ty to sustain and build upon what they had begun What began m 1851 as a one-room school has evolved to the school as we know it today. I simply ask that, before you leave the corridors and classrooms of this building for the last time, you reflect for a moment on what has been made available to you here in Belfast Central School. Reflect not only on the bricks and mortar, but on the optimism for the future years felt by those who came so long before you. I. along with your teachers and your parents, feel the same optimism and faith in you as you take this giant step into adult- hood You take with you the hopes and dreams of so many people who have cared about you over the past many years Best wishes Robert Bouldin Superintendent BoauL Of BduaHoK Seated R.

MR. ir MRS. ROBERT BOULO H - Congratulations Chris - We're Proud of you! - DAD, MOM, RONELLE JEFF AUTOGRAPHS Uudm tUMm TALKING ON THE PHONE My favorite pastime is talking on the phone. It's what I like to do when I'm alone I can talk for hours about nothing at all To practically anyone who happens to call. To find out the latest on who's dating who. And talk about problems and gossip too. Comparing homework and talking about The latest fads and which clothes are out. While deciding on which outfit to wear the next day. My mom yells up the steps and I hear her say. Get off the phone, you've been on long enough. I'm sure you've gossiped about enough stuff! Concluding my chat. I return with a sigh; My friend says. See ya tomorrow. And I say good-by! Terry Taylor 18 ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ c I a i i 0 f Row 1: J. Whiteside, O Krisher. S Barber. P Chamberlain, R Gridley, B. Unfus. C. Corbitt.

H Gary 28 29 BE THE BEST OF WHATEVER YOU ARE If you can't be a pine on the top of the hill, Be a scrub in the valley-but be The best little scrub by the side of the rill; Be a bush if you can't be a tree. If you can't be a bush be a bit of the grass. And some highway happier make. If you can't be muskie then just be a bass- But the liveliest bass in the lake! We can't all be captains, we've got to be crew. There's something for all of us here. There's big work to do, and there's lesser to do. And the task you must do in the near. If you can't be a highway then just be a trail. If you can't be the sun be a star. It isn't by size that you win or you fail- Be the best of whatever you are! 31 I hope that everyone enjoys the 1988 edition of the Belorea A lot of hard work goes into the production of a yearbook, as well as frustrations and tears. I would like to commend the staff on all their efforts . . those long Saturday staff meetings, selling advertising, and fund raising, etc I can't say enough about the Editor of this book, Eric Melaro. Without his dedication and persis- tence it would be a nightmare. A special thanks goes out to you Eric - you've certainly done a SUPER job. and we'll miss you!! Mrs. Lutz Advisor As the Editor of the 1988 Belorea, I would like to say, Thank you to everyone who has contribut- ed to the success of this book. Thanks go out to Mrs. Heaney, Mrs. Arnold, Mr. Doell, Ms. Weir, our ad patrons, Mr. Lingenfelter's and Mrs. DeRock's sixth grade classes, and most importantly to Mrs. Lutz and the rest of the staff. You all have done a great job and have made my job easier and much more exciting. Despite the pressures and problems that arose while putting together this yearbook, I have had a lot of fun and have en- joyed the challenge. Finally, I would like to wish Chris, Tammy, and Tabbie good luck next year. Eric Melaro Editor 32 Yearbook, Staff NdJxmai nofWt Society OFFICERS: E. Meloro. President; C. Whalen. Treasurer.

This year the National Honor Soci- ety members enjoyed an evening of entertainment when they travelled to Desiderio's dinner theater to watch The Prisoner of Second Avenue . They also assisted the Belfast Parent Teacher Association by contributing their time to help with “Saturday After- noon Matinees”. Additionally, members of the Nation- al Honor Society decided to organize and run a blood drive this year. With the help of the American Red Cross, we hope to establish this activity as an annual drive. The National Honor Society also aided the school by helping with kindergarten screening. As al- ways, members of the National Honor Society made their yearly trip to the Castle for the Allegany County National Honor Society Banquet. 34 The Student Council is the governing body of Belfast Central School. It consists of two repre- sentatives from each class, grades seven through twelve. Officers are also elected, but they must be in tenth grade or above.

E Mejitauj TO A CHILD WHO INQUIRES How did you com© to me. my sweet? From the land that no man knows? Did Mr. Stork bring you here on his wings? Were you born in the heart of a rose? Did an angel fly with you down from the sky? Were you found in a gooseberry patch? Did a fairy bring you from fairyland To my door-that was left on a latch? No-my darling was born of a wonderful love. A love that was Daddy's and mine. A love that was human, but deep and profound. A love that was almost divine Do you remember, sweetheart, when we went to the zoo. And we saw the big bear with a grouch? And the tigers and lions, and that tall kangaroo That carried her babe in a pouch? Do you remember I told you she kept then there safe From the cold and the wind, till they grew Big enough to take care of themselves? And. dear heart. That's just how I first cared for you. I carried you under my heart, my sweet. And I sheltered you safe from alarms; Then one wonderful day the dear God looked down. And I snuggled you tight in my arms. Olga Petrova 44 Row 1: C. Holley.

Unknown 60 61 The 1987 boys' varsi- ty soccer team started slowly, but finished the season by winning four out of their last five games. Throughout the season, every game was close and the boys dis- played a lot of heart and determination. Seniors Chris Enders, Eric Melaro, and Har- old Weaver proved to be strong leaders and of great assis- tance to the youn- ger players and myself. The 1987 girls' varsity soccer season was a very successful one. The girls com- piled a league re- cord of 11 - 2 -1 and an overall record of 14 - 4 - 1. Melissa Preston, Diane McCumiskey, Chrissy Green, and Tracy Atherton were se- lected as County All-Stars. The girls won the Gunlock Tournament at Co- hocton over a dou- ble A school. They also reached the semi-final round of Section 5 competi- tion. The team wishes seniors Melis- sa, Tina, Cristin, Diane, Penny, and Michelle the best of luck in the future. 62 r. -L j @ Fillmore @ Richburg @ Rushford Houghton @ Compbel Andover @ FWmore @ Scio WhitesviBe @ Richburg Friendship Angelica @ Prattsburg @ Andover Fillmore @ Belmont Scio BCS OPP 7 Angelica 2 6 @ Cuba 0 2 @ Belmont 5 2 Rushford 2 6 Friendship 1 3 @ Andover 0 3 @ Cuba 1 2 @ FBmore 1 4 Scio 2 5 @ Whitesvie 1 8 @ Wayland 0 8 Richburg 0 5 @ Friendship 0 5 @ Angelica 1 2 @ Rushford 3 3 Belmont 6 3 @ North-Rose 2 Wolcott 3 Greenwood 2 2 @ Andover 3 63 VofoyboM Stoubomd B fi i auXf : GoA BCS OPP BCS OPP 0 @ Andover 3 3 @ Scio 0 0 WettsvWe 3 3 @ Andover 0 2 Cuba 3 3 Belmont 0 2 @ Addison 3 1 Rushford 3 2 @ Scio 3 3 @ Angelica 0 0 @ Cuba 3 1 @ Rushford 3 1 Andover 3 3 Scio 0 0 @ WeftsviBe 3 3 Andover 0 1 Addison 3 3 @ Belmont 0 1 Scio 3 3 Angelica 0 3 Scio 0 0 @ Rushford 3 A r 64 M! The girls' volley- ball team did an outstanding job this year. The var- sity team was led by captain and senior Diane McCumiskey with 62 kills and 94 points, and Cheryl Corbitt with 115 points and 62 kills. Belfast finished 2nd in the league, losing only to Rushford. Cheryl, Diane, and Cheryl McCumiskey were named to the All-Star team. The girls took sec- ond place in the Scio Tournament and finished the season with a 9 - 3 record. Each member of the team gave it all they had . Con- gratulations on your efforts, as well as on your fine season! The boys' volleyball team finished its season with a 0 - 12 record. Although the scoreboard shows no wins, all of the matches were very close. Captain Eric Melaro led the team with 121 kills and Quint Franklin with 116 kills. Both Eric and Quint were named to the Coun- ty All-Star Team. Eric, a senior, will certainly be missed next year. Mike Schul tallied a team high. 108 points and 9 service aces. Bob Inman and Seth Da- mon led the team in blocks, and Chris Melaro led in solo- blocks. As one can see, everyone had something to add to the abilities of this team. 65 The boys' basketball team, consisting mostly of under- classmen recorded a 7 - 12 record this year. They proved to be a strong trav- elling team, winning five of their games on the road. Many of their losses were close and to more experienced teams. Senior Chris Enders led the team in scor- ing and will truly be missed next year. Congratulations on a fine season and keep striving for success. The girls' basketball team's record this year was 1-15. The girls never gave up and worked hard until the end. Chrissy Green led the team in scoring and was also selected to the County All-Star Team. Patti Pohlig, a freshman, was the team's leading re- bounder. Senior Tina Livergood will surely be missed in the fu- ture. With such a young team there is a good outlook for the future.

This was the most suc- cessful season ever. Chrissy Green was cho- sen as a County All-Star. Diane McCumiskey, Jeni Hasper, and Tracy Atherton re- ceived Honorable Mentions. We lost only two seniors, Rachel Bunt and Shari Johnson. We wish them the best of luck in the future. The 1987 boys' baseball team had its ups and downs. As the season pro- gressed we seemed to do better against the stronger teams and poorer against the weaker teams. The experience of many seniors was a factor for the posi- tive outcome of this team. Many people judge a winning sea- son only by the num- ber of wins. This team had many winning qualities be- sides being able to win. ' ei W7 69 Keep Youk Eye Ok Tie Bag!! The tennis team improved its record to 3 - 5 this year. Each team member showed great improvement throughout the season. Eric Me- laro and Sheila Preston represented Belfast in the County Tournament playing doubles, while Chris Melaro and Mike Schul played singles. Eric received the honor of being selected MVP and Tammy Osterhout was awarded MIP. Congratulations and keep up the good work. ouboatd l atilfy TtutU BCS OPP 5 Andover 0 0 Fimore 5 0 Cuba 5 1 @ Belmont 4 4 @ Andover 1 0 @ Fillmore 5 1 @ Cuba 4 4 Belmont 1 70 Fifth Fudl, Gnatk BahketboM Ga euth Fig lath Giadb BaikethoM 72 73 1 6« - Ttuab Patfl Compeoi Wkoteia e R d KINO CAR SALES, INC. 716-268-5050 Gene H.
