Union Academy is more than a school, locat ed in a strictly agricultural community, that has sent to all the world men and women who have been an inspiration and a guide. Union Academy is a spirit that tor 100 years had imbued the boys and girls who passed through its portals and has molded and inspired them tor a lifetime of service. Not by accident have Union alumni been a shining mark wherever they have been set down in the busy eddies of life. Not through coinci- dence have they for a century been beacons lighting the way to progress. Leadership, civic progress, simple faith in God, love of mankind, a desire to help—these are the heritage of each succeeding class that has come from the fam- ous school. It was the spirit of Union Academy that would not say die when fire laid low the historic school. Before the embers had died the Union spirit was planning for a newer and grander physical insitution to rise from ruins. A hundred years ago the call of the spirit of Union made possible its founding, amidst the pri- vations of a new country and through the sacri- fices of a people whose very existence was a bitter, continuous struggle. A half century ago began a movement which kept the school going by the gift of money and time and service; kept it going through genera tlons, instilling the old ideals. Now has come a new call, a call for sacrifice as great as any recorded in the noble lives of those who carried on through the dark days of the Academy. The response has been a new Institution, modern in Its plant adequate in Its equipment and facilities, but old in the spirit of Union. Why have scores of persons given of time and service and substance to rebuild Union Acade- my at Belleville? How has this been possible with- out levying a tax or ussuing public bonds? What brought about the erection of a new building in record time under these unparalleled condi- tions? The Union Academy spirit that has pos- sessed its alumni and permeated the entire com munity. Congratulations are in order. To those who have, by unsparing effort, ceaseless planning and sacrificial devotion, wrought this miracle, go congratulations. To those who have contributed money go congratulations for the insight to grasp an opportunity to make the finest investment to which money could be put. To the community about Belleville, Woodville, Ellisburg and other nearby points go congratulations for the posses- sion of an institution that is aggressively Ameri- can and that will build for generations to come character and manhood and womanhood. To the boys and girls of this and coming genero tlons congratulations that they are to have edu- cational opportunities unexcelled in any commu- nity. and the heritage of a century of Union Academy traditions and Union spirit. What is the Union spirit? Perhaps Norris Shepardson best summed it up in his famous pre- face to the Memorial Endowment Book when he quoted St. Paul. Isn’t it a yearning for whatso ever things are true, whatsoever things are hon- est, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report ? May Union long continue to prosper in teach- ing that as a life program for her boys and girls.

We feel he has been more than just a teacher, but a friend, to our class. He has helped us in ways that show he cares about who we are and who we can become. Mr. Shevalier has shown an interest In helping out when there is something extra to do. Varsity girls' sports have been given great er momentum and direction since he has taken over that coach- ing position. He was very willing to help out the German Club with the Variety Show in the spring of 1981. He became the true inspira- tion in making the Black Knight Mascot a reality. He continues to be willing to help out organizations including the P.T.A. with activi- ties that benefit the students. These are just the big things but the little ones are done just as generously. Mr. Shevalier came to Belleville in 1978 to teach English to sev- enth, eighth, and nineth grades and vocational students. He originally came from Syracuse, where he is a graduate of the Manlius Military Academy. He performed his undergraduate work at the University of Southern Colorado, in Pueblo, Colorado. There he majored in English and acquired a minor in Read- ing. He has done his graduate work at both Elmira College and SUC at Cortland, attaining a coach's certification from Cortland's Physical Education Department. He previously worked in Seneca Falls. N.Y., at Mynderse Academy, where he taught 12th grade English and Psychology and was a member of the coaching staff. The Class of 1982 feels we owe Mr. Shevalier the respect and honor that comes with dedicating our yearbook to him. We also want him to know how much we appreciate his efforts. The mark of a true friend Is one who gives of himself. Our admiration goes to you, Mr. Shevalier. Thank youl 4 5 The Road Not Taken Two roads diverged in a yellow wood. And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as tar as I could To where It bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that, the passing there Had worn them really about the same, And both that morning equally lay in leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back. I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— I took the one less traveled by. And that has made all the difference. —Robert Frost BOARD OF EDUCATION First row: President. Mrs Edith H. Curtis; District Clerk. Mrs Barbara O Greene; Mrs Joanna J. Moore Second row: Superintendent.

Twelve years and sev- enteen days later they will graduate from Belleville Central School. Between these two graduations they have done their best to abide by the rules and make their mark in the halls of U.A.B. In ninth grade these crazy freshmen were under the advice of Mrs. Keck and Mrs. Willis. They had a record hop that made a good profit. When this class became sophomores they had Mr. Baker and Mrs. Keck as advisors. They once again were able to have a suc- cessful record hop. Eleventh grade brought the adventure. Mr. McLear and Miss Rasbach were the advisors of our junior class. They had another record hop and a dance with Llnsey Creek. Those who picked flowers for graduation found more adventure than they bargained for. On September 9, 1981, the Class of 1982 started their senior year. Their advisors, who performed their duties well, were Mr. Bingle and Mrs. Whitley. The seniors had two dances, with Highway and Prophecy, and a recordhop with Jay Flannery. They were not very suc- cessful. The first dance was the only one to show a profit. Fortunately, they did manage to make over $700.00 by having a very memorable Sr. play, Cheaper by the Dozen. The Class of 1982 did many other things that they can be proud of. They will continue Into their career plans. Good luck seniors, may your future be as successful as your class history. 30 President Senior Play 4 German Club 1.3 Julia Anne Shemidine Germany 1.3 Whiz Quiz 4 President 3.4 Tower stQff 3 4 Secretary 1.2 voice of Democracy 2.3.4 NJHS NHS 2.3.4 Wee President Joel B Whitley Baseball 1.2.3.4 Soccer 1.2.3.4 Basketball 1.2.3.4 Band 1.2.3.4 Athletic Club 1.2.3.4 President 2 Vice President 1.4 NJHS NHS 2.3.4 Germany 1 Whiz Quiz 4 Quartet 3.4 Senior Play 4 Secretary Sheryl Marie Elmer Color guard 1.2 Art Club 1 French Club 1 Softball 1 Volleyball 2 Cheerleading 2 Secretary 4 Senior Play 4 FHA 2 Treasurer Christina M Dodge FFA 1.2,3,4 Band 1.2,3.4 Stage band 2,3.4 Wind Ensemble 1 NJHS NHS 2.3.4 Basketball Bookkeeper 2.3.4 Reporter 3 Treasurer 4 Senior Play 4 Whiz Quiz 4 31 Kevin D Berry Kimberly M Bettlnger Basketball 1.2.3.4 Soccer 1,2.3 Volleyball 2.3.4 Softball 1.2.3.4 Cheerleading 2.3.4 32 Chours 1,2.3.4 Treasurer 1 FHA 4 German Club 1.3 Senior Play 4 Marching Band 2.3 Student Council 1.4 Athletic Club 2,3.4 Chours 1,3,4 Vocational 3.4 Senior Play 4 Treasurer 3 Victoria L.

Individual performances are difficult to forget, as is the whole play. The grueling ten weeks of rehearsals took us through many emotional experiences. But in the end, It was a valuable, unique, and rewarding exper lence for us all. We have pleasant memories we will cherish a lifetime. The success with which we accomplished this goal holds the promise for future accomplishments. Good job Class of 1982! Cheaper By The Dozen is a true story of the large Gilbreth Family with it's twelve children in the 1920’s. Mr. Gllbreth’s occupation as an efficiency ex- pert tries to put the entire family into organization” but runs Into much resis tance over boys and dates from his own high school daughters. His desire is to know that his family will be able to run smoothly If anything, such as a heart condition, should happen to him. His philosophy Is what works In the factory, works at home. The family learns the secret of their father's ambition to get the family organized when they realize he is dying.

During those thir- teen years you have been prodding and pushing us, drilling facts and figures Into our heads. We resisted most of the way. but we are so very thankful you never gave up on us. You have helped us to a succeed but also learn from our failures. Your support, concern, and help have been greatlY appreciated. We really did not know how much you all cared until we finally took the time to look back. We are seniors now and seem to take a great deal of time to reflect on the past. We also look toward the future, hoping to find the right path that leads to happiness and success. We would not know where to start or what to seek If It weren't for you. It has been a great pleasure to be president of such a fine class as that of 1982. You have been cooperative and willing to meet any challenge. We have accomplished much be- cause we have worked together. I will never forget the honor and respect you have given me. Thank you for your support.

Never wanting to be just a fantlcizer Being without wise and worldly knowledge Decisions whether or not to attend college Decisions, confusions, where does it all end? Or is this just a never ending trend? Written by Catherine Henry The years have past us by. It seemed like yesterday, When mom and dad enrolled us in school. We were young and innocent, Never dreaming of our senior year. But now it's here. It seems like were leaving our own world of school days behind. For on graduation we'll be leaving our friends behind. Going our separate way to establish a goal In life. But our friends, teachers, and the Union Academy of Belleville Will still linger heavy in our minds. Written by Amanda Hockey 51 EDITORS C. Kohl. Jr.; B Eastman. Jr.; J. Shelmldlne. Sr.; B Kohl.

Foreign Exchange Student Kjartan Johannessen has been attending Belleville Central School as a foreign exchange student from Stavanger, Norway. He is living with the William Farman family. Kjartan says that living in Belle- ville has been a big change for him. Kjartan’s home town has a population of 90,000. Because of this difference in size Kjartan has been unable to practice his hobbles of diving, karate, and shoot- ing hand guns. Kjartan says another big difference Is the course load. In America certain courses are required, but in Norway all your courses are chosen for you. Kjartan also said Belleville is better equipped than his Norwegian school. Belleville has computers and a new mlcro-flche system that his Norwegian school does not. While Kjartan was here he went to an F.F.A. convention in Kansas City and in January he spent a few days in Maine skiing. Kjartan would like to thank everyone for their support and for giving him a wonderful time during his stay in America. 78 OUR LIFE Departure from one another, reconciliation and reunion. Stations on the way to happiness where our paths converged. You are much more than just an acquaintance. We share each others thoughts. Out of our past, we nurture a new era. Our life together cannot just be coincidence. We have a chance to prove That love can build firm bridges to the future. Barriers, which create distrust, speaking without thinking. Barreness of life is left behind. with these things we are finished. Our lives each have their own directions as we scatter and separate. But love follows the direction of our lives into the world of tomorrow. Translated: by Julie Shelmidine, as the seniors of 1982 becomes the Class of 1982. 80
