Free to Choose As in network programming, variety is essential to education The variety ot elective courses provides students the opportunities to explore diverse and interesting areas of studies Although it can be argued that electives detract from the three R's of basic education, these courses actually enhance the quality of education that is offered Popular electives such as horticulture, humor, child development. computer math, sociology, and humanities round out students' high school education Not all education takes place in the scheduled classes The independent Study program is available for students who wish to further investigate a topic In this program, students work with teachers outside of a class in a field of study which they have selected This gives more flexibility for students to learn new material unrelated to classwork As a whole, both the elective and the Independent Study program have proved to be extremely successful More students are becoming interested m the programs that the school has to offer, and this has enabled Berlin High to improve its quality of education Acodemics — 25 They Say Medulla ablongata buster; thinkers.

Even a greater achievement in prenatal science was the successful implantation of a fertilized egg in a woman's uterus This milestone made possible the birth of the first test tube baby Louise and brought great hope to infertile couples throughout the world. Parents of hyperactive children and children with a stuttering problem also had renewed hope. Nutritionists have discovered that milk and milk products, as well as the already known sugars, can aggravate hyperactivity. Speech pathologists now believe that stuttering may have an inherited physiological cause and not a psychological cause In education, humanism advanced to the forefront Educators stressed the importance of educating the total child and worked to individualize instruction. That instruction heavily emphasizes students' reading and writing skills which have deteriorated in the last ten years Alarmed by their children's poor performances in reading and writing, parents joined educators to find some answers to the problems in American schools. 1979 was the year in which cable T.V. hit Berlin. The residents of the Berlin-Kensmgton area were able to enjoy viewing popular movies and specials on the Home Box Office, and television reception was improved all over town Another advancement in the field of communications was made by the Bell Telephone Company which computerized its services to the Berlin area. In outerspace exploration, scientists now have reason to believe that there is a planet beyond Pluto and that the Sun and other planets besides Saturn have rings of gaseous air surrounding them The gas crisis in the United States forced Americans to re-evaluate their use of gasoline and develop ways to save energy. Towards this end. researchers perfected the use of the less expensive diesel fuel and adapted it to the motors of some very popular cars such as the Volkswagen Rabbit. Gasahol also became a popular alternative in some northeastern states In spite of protest, offshore drilling was advanced in an attempt to find new sources of oil for the U S. While scientists continued to search for a cure for cancer, researchers continually discovered more cancer causing agents. Hair dye. cosmetics, pesticides, and charbroiled burgers, were among those added to the list of cancer causing agents An unpleasant political discovery for Americans was the ABSCAM scandal Congressmen were discovered to have taken bribes from CIA officials disguised as Arab oil men. The scandal shook America's confidence in Congress at a time when confidence was so badly needed in the wake of the Iranian crisis. The Yeor in Discoveries — 33 One in a Million The staff of the 1980 Lamp is proud to dedicate their yearbook to Mr David Matthews For the past eleven years. Mr Matthews has been a dedicated educator at Berlin High A graduate of Springfield College, he began his career at this school in 1969 as a physical education teacher, but his duties soon grew to encompass many extracurricular activities As a coach of the football and basketball teams for seven years. Mr Matthews earned the respect of many Berlin High athletes Always concerned with student rights. Mr Matthews was responsible for the organization of the smoking committee in 1974, and for the past six years he has remained the advisor to the organization In the following year. 1975. he was appointed Vice-Principal In this capacity he has gamed the admiration and respect of the faculty and students at Berlin High Mr Matthews works primarily with seniors and freshmen on disciplinary matters and has proven to be a fair and understanding administrator to students Because of his willingness to listen and try to understand student problems.

(1944) A fond o % Frosh The freshman's first day of school is always a new and somewhat Fearful experience. Once these new high school students become oriented to the high school, they become somewhat Rambunctious. Time is filled with new friends and new activities. Often they are so overwhelmed by these new experiences that they even become Obnoxious. Their attention span is short, and often they are more concerned with social experiences than with school. Even so, they somehow find time for their Studies, as most of them want a good start in their high school careers. Usually by the end of the year, the freshmen feel at Home at Berlin High School and are ready to welcome a new class of incoming freshmen in the fall The Media Center is a popular study area Hello, Mr Matthews, Janice Anderson is sick today. Looking up from her class work, Irene Ruepp poses for the camera. Sophomores Steve Gibeley and Leslie Samuels like the sound of cold, hard cash. 38 — Underclassmen Activities Juniors receive their class rings. Combs and sophomore girls are a familiar sight. Sophs After the excitement and attention of being freshmen, sophomores fall into a S lump. It often takes Qlympian efforts from their teachers to Persuade sophomores to work. Frustrated by a feeling of being in-between lower and upper classmen, sophs still remain Hopeful that school will become exciting once again. Toward the end of the year, the excitement returns as class rings are ordered and School activities are planned for their busy junior year. At the end of the school day, Claudia Michalak. Karen Bosco and Anne-Marie Dogh- erty stop to pose for the camera Underclassmen Activities — 39 Juniors ♦ Kevin Milkey, Lisa Lavigne, Sebby Malespini, and Steve Gibley consult with Mr. LaRiviere about a sophomore fund raising project When junior year begins, students are sometimes Jittery as they start to feel the pressure of future decisions. Many of them find that they are Unprepared for the challenges that are quickly approaching. The class is raising as many Nickels and dimes as possible in order to finance the Junior Prom. As the prom date draws near, junior girls and boys accept Invitations to the event. With only Qne remaining year in high school, the juniors receive their class Bings, which will be life-long reminders of their four years at Berlin High.

Juniors — 55 56 — The Year in People THE YEAR IN PEOPLE Familiar as well as new personalities influenced America s politics, music, fashions, television, and films in 1979-1980 Perhaps the people who have had the most significant effect on the events ot 1979-1980 were the national political figures. President Jimmy Carter fought to keep his head above water in the White House as Ted Kennedy, Jerry Brown, Ronald Reagan, George Bush, and Howard Baker prepared to challenge him in the race for the presidency in 1980. The Shah of Iran and the Ayatollah Khomeini became familiar faces in the news, and their actions affected American lives daily. In Connecticut, Governor Ella Grasso began her second term of office, and former Berlin mayor Arthur B Powers was appointed Commissioner of Transportation for the state of Connecticut The varied styles of music in the year offered something for everybody Students at B.H.S. tuned into radio stations D103, 106HCN, 104 magic or 96TIC depending upon their specific tastes in music Disco continued to be a popular music form with strong albums and performances by disco queen Donna Summer, the Village People, Peaches and Herb, and Chic In addition to its influence on dance, it also influenced Americans' style of dress. Calvin Klein, Chic, and Sassoon jeans and Candies shoes became standard wearing apparel for many girls at Berlin High, but most of the guys continued to wear the traditional Levis jeans, corduroys, and T-shirts. Other musical trends included a new wave Rock, headed by such popular groups as The Knack, The Cars, and Blondie. Easy listening continued to be extremely popular with The Commodores, The Bee Gees, “Kenny Loggins, and The Doobie Brothers releasing successful albums. Country music also enjoyed a share of the spotlight this year with Kenny Rogers, Dolly Parton, and Crystal Gayle all turning out monster hits Although there were many new trends in music, good old Rock n’ Roll still remained the favorite ot the majority of the students at B.H.S. Some of the most popular Rock artists of the year included Styx, Foreigner,” Led Zeppelin, Tod Rundgren. and Fleetwood Mac Television continued to be a favorite American pastime in 1979-1980. Carroll O’Conner made the successful lump from the long-running hit series All in the Family to his new show Archie Bunker’s Place.” Comedy took on a delightful new twist when Robin Williams made his debut as the zany alien from Ork in the popular new series Mork and Mindy. Situation comedies continued to be the most successful television programs and series such as M.A.S.H., Laverne and Shirley, Happy Days, Three’s Company, WKRP in Cincinnati, Benson, and Soap consistently topped the charts in the ratings race. Drama began to make a comeback, however, with the appearance of such shows as Dallas, “Knot’s Landing, and “Skag and the return of such old favorites as Quincy, The Rockford Files, Vegas,” and Lou Grant. Kate Jackson departed from Charlie's Angels, and her role was quickly filled by model-turned-actress. Shelly Hack. Late night T V. remained popular, and Saturday Night Live survived a drastic shakeup in personnel as John Belushi and Don Ackroyd departed to pursue film careers. As always, the movies reflected the many different moods and trends in America. Some of the issues explained in films this year included the Vietnam War in Frances Coppola’s production of Apocalypse Now starring Marlon Brando, and the effects of divorce and child custody hearings on a young couple and their child in Kramer vs. Kramer starring Dustin Hoffman, Meryl Streep, and newcomer Justin Henry. The workings of the American judicial system were probed by Al Pacino in And Justice for All. The world of politics was the object of satire by writer, director and star Alan Alda in The Seduction of Joe Tynan. Escapist movies were also very big this year and films such as The Jerk with Steve Martin, 10 with Bo Derek, and The Electric Horseman” with Jane Fonda and Robert Redford were box office smashes. A new wave of science fiction movies also appeared as Star Trek, The Movie, Saturn 3, and Battlestar Galactica made their big screen debuts following the blockbuster “Star Wars The past year saw the departure of many celebrities in the entertainment and political world In 1979-1980. Americans said goodbye to such personalities as Jimmy Durante. David Jansen. John Wayne. Keith Moon, Grou-cho and Zeppo Marx.

Absolutely We had a lot of kids who really played up to their potential This season there was a lot of physical preparation as well as mental concentration, which is important How did the season compare with previous seasons that you have coached here? Every season is different, and every team has a different personality and character It's difficult to try to compare teams and seasons i guess that the most objective barometer is really the record of wins and losses, but it's not really a very good one It sometimes sounds corny, but it's true: winning isn't everything We re happy with this season as we have been with every season Everyone works as hard as they can and does as well as they can I feel that this year we were close to our potential What was the overall attitude of the players at the beginning of the season, and how did this attitude change as the season progressed if at all? Every year every team in the state looks forward to an undefeated season We were fortunate to be m a position to be playing for the league championship We were undefeated m our league and we played tough in a contest agamst Woodrow Wilson Up until the last game of the season. we were still part of the race for the state championship It's a fun thing to be a part of, but the pressure is definitely felt The pressure is part of the competitive spirit Did you notice any significant change in this year's team? Did they practice more or less? Did they seem to have a stronger desire to win than in previous years? As i said before, it s hard to compare one team to another, but this team played well together as a group The twenty-six seniors on this team provided leadership and set good examples for the underclassmen They did the things a large group of seniors should do The captains did an outstanding job of directing the character of the team Overall, they represented the team well They set the tone for hard work and dedication something you always talk about in athletics but don't always get Rich and Tom did that What were some of the most frequently used plays this season? We have a kind of multiple offense There's five or six different offensive series that we use One play that was very successful for us was a pitch out to our fullback behind Brian Faucher or Danny Doyle It's called the quarter ton series Doyle and 11burr on the same side came out to be about a quarter of a ton Were injuries a major setback for you this season? They weren't really a major setback The injury to Rich Liburdi in the mrtdle of the season hurl us because he wasn t aWe to play m the last games a crucial point in the season Any time you lose a player of that caliber it hurts Rich Zovich missed team this year and with those kinds of numbers we had some depth Mike Budney stepped m for Uburdi and did a great job. and with Tavarozzi Collins. Lamb and Ferraguto as running backs we could afford to lose someone once in awhile Our quarterback John Grib was out for three out of the first four games but Jamie Fusco a sophomore came m and did a terrific job for us Do you think that the members of the team were pleased with their overall performance this season? I think so We would have liked to have won a couple more games of course For any athlete to continue to play with that intensity he has got to work hard enough to be pleased with his performance If he doesn t do that he just tends to kind of fade away Our kids worked hard If they weren't pleased with their performance on any one day they worked harder in the two or three days after to improve upon it The enthusiastic Redcoat sidelines celebrate a Berlin touchdown.
