III. For the past five years Mr. Britting-ham has been an enthusiastic teacher of F.nglish at Berlin High School. In addition to his teaching responsibilities, Mr. Brittingham has generously given his time to extracurricular activities. For the last four years he has served as advisor to the Class of 1981. His interest and desire to assist his class have contributed to their successful activities. Mr. Brittingham initiated new class activities in the towel sale, the food basket for a needy family, and Halloween dress-up day. Mr. Brittingham has also acted as the coach of the freshman boys' basketball team and the girls' volleyball team. As a coach he has earned the respect of many Berlin High athletes. His dedication to Berlin High School has earned Mr. Brittingham both love and respect. We wish him continued success. While setting up the projector for his Film Evaluation class, Mr. B. explains filming techniques. 2 — Dedication - During his supervising duty in the Media Center, Mr. Brittingham quiets students with a stare. MR. B. First a dedicated educator, his classes are marked by unparalleled student rapport and carefully planned lessons. His standards are high which cause us to often struggle. The struggle may seem unreasonable, but only through demanding tasks, guided by his patience and caring, will we achieve our potential. He first impressed us as a stern man, but his warm smile and congenial manner softened this perception. A sensitive listener, he welcomes us, makes us feel important, and unselfishly gives his time. He is a teacher, an athletic coach, a class advisor, but, most of all, a friend. Cori B. Karam Advising members of the girls' volleyball team. Coaches At the end of a school day Mr. Brittingham and Mr. Galvin discuss the Class of 1981's plans to show Support Your Local Sheriff. Mr B. uses the quiet and solitude of his free period to correct compositions. Dedication — 3 START 4 — Theme Welcome, welcome one and all! We're glad you could take part.

Lavender 6 — Theme Theme SENIORS WIN TROPHY The week before Berlin High's first football game is Spirit Week. During this week each day is reserved for a special school activity such as Hat Day and Red and Blue Day. Throughout the week classes work diligently to decorate assigned hallways. This year, the freshman class chose the Fred Flint-stone cartoons to decorate their hallway. The sophomores chose cute, little blue creatures called Smurfs ' and the juniors used Sesame Street. The seniors' winning hallway was decorated with various scenes from the Bugs Bunny Road Runner Hour. On Friday night, school spirited students assembled in the gym for the Pep Rally. After the introduction of the fall teams, each class took a turn cheering. A panel of teachers determined which class had the most school spirit. Once again the seniors came out on top. Juniors Tom Wicander, Tom Pajor, Pete Middlemas, and Eric Larson pose in front of their class Sesame Street decorations. Jubilant seniors celebrate when Mr. Galvin announces their victory at the pep rally, which was held before football season's opener against Pulaski.

Early plans for Welcome Day are the selection of little brothers and sisters and the establishment of freshman dress. This year the freshmen were requrested to dress-up as Minnie Mouse and Mickey Mouse. On Welcome Day, September 26, 1980, most seniors took their little brothers and sisters out to breakfast. At breakfast and throughout the rest of the day, the freshmen were asked to sing songs and perform different tasks for the seniors. During the school day the freshmen and seniors watched the movie, Support Your Local Sheriff. After the movie they all enjoyed a picnic lunch and play day activities on the school field. Senior Court was held at seven o'clock that night in the gym. Senior punk rockers tried and convicted the freshmen for crimes against the Class of 1981.

The convention was held at the Coast Guard Academy in New London on June 23-27, 1980. When they arrived, the boys were arbitrarily divided into towns and parties.

Cathy Mann, and BarbaraOurllrttr CASH REGISTER Five years ago a chapter of DECA, Distributive Education Club of America, was established at Berlin High School under the guidance of Mrs. June Valentino. DECA is not only a successful class but also a student activity. As a vocational, civic, and social organization, DECA pro-' vides its members with valuable business experience through both classroom activities and extracurricular activities which were financed by the organization's numerous fundraisers such as the sale of liquid soap and giant coloring books As part of their educational program. DECA members manage the school store during free periods. The 1980-81 DECA officers were President Tina Simeone, Vice-president Josephine DeFrancesco, Treasurer Debbie Bukowski, and Historian Sandy Theriault. Ringing up purchases in the school store is just one of the responsibilities of DECA member Joanne Gura. Girls' State delegates: Sue Kristopik, Tina Simeone, Cori Karam, and Lynne Bart-kowski. After completing her shift at the school store, Sandy Theriault returns to class. MORE BALLOTS In their junior year, three girls are selected to attend the American Legion Auxiliary Laurel Girls' State. Their selection is based upon character, leadership, and scholarship. Numerous girls are first nominated by their classmates as potential candidates, but the final decisions are made by the faculty. In June, 1980, Tina Simeone, Cori Karam, and Lynne Bartkowski attended the weeklong Laurel Girls' State convention which was held in Kent School in Kent, Connecticut. During the week the girls learned about government, worked until late hours of the night, and made many close friendships from other Connecticut high schools. Decal Girls' State — 35 LAMP Producing the 1981 Lamp has been a laborious and trying task. The staff began enthusiastically but soon encountered both the predictable yearbook difficulties and also many unforeseen complications. A trip to Columbia University for a yearbook seminar stimulated new ideas. In September the Publications class received basic technical training needed to publish the book However the class had a large enrollment which included only three editors, a situation which caused both organizational and leadership problems. Class members were often reluctant to assume full responsibility for the completion of the work. Not realizing the significance of deadlines the staff missed the first two and came close to missing the final one All of these delays left the staff wondering if there would be a yearbook in 1981. Still a last minute effort by a few dedicated people over February vacation led to the book's eventual completion. If not for the patience and constant leadership and guidance of our advisor Mrs. Miklos the 1981 Lamp would never have been published. In spite of the frustrations involved with the gib, the staff members dedicated to the book's completion feel a great sense of achievement and satisfaction in publishing a record of the 1980-1981 year. This book will make a permanent contribution to the class of 1981, Berlin High School, and the Berlin community. We are proud to have been a part of recording Berlin High's history.

Lamp Staff — 37 An eventful year, 1980-81 saw the end of some crises, the beginning of new problems, and the continuation of some ever-present concerns. The year marked the end of a dramatic decade. With the inauguration of the 40th president, Americans looked towards the future with new hope. At the beginning of 1980, campaigns for the presidential election were well underway, the hostages were still held captive in Iran, the U.S. had just announced its plans to boycott the Moscow Olympics, a recession was just around the corner, and inflation was an ever-present problem. One unforeseen problem President Carter had to face was the large influx of Cuban refugees who fled to the United States. The U.S. initially announced that the coun- try would accept 3,500 of the refugees, but in two months 110,000 Cubans landed in Florida, and the U.S. had no choice but to accept them. In the summer, the U.S. launched the hostage rescue mission, but the attempt ended in failure and cost the lives of eight commandos. On January 20, 1981, just minutes before President Reagan's inauguration, Americans celebrated the end of the hostages long ordeal. The joy Americans felt soon turned to anger when the hostages disclosed tales of Iranian barbarism. The long talked-about recession ended in August, but inflation continued to rise, and interest rates soared. Smaller cars became even more popular as gas prices rose to well over a dollar per gallon. 38 — Year in Events IN EVENTS ft 1980 was a year of suffering for many.

Coach Pelligrinelli said of the season, “it was a year of inches. Both coaches and players were frustrated by the fact that opportunities were missed and games were lost by mere inches, yards, and seconds. In compiling their 4-5-1 record the victories were due to the stellar play of the Redcoat defensive unit which only allowed one or no touchdowns in 6 of the 10 game season. This squad saw Cary Faucher, Brian Boscolo, and Phil Lund achieve All-Conference status and Phil Lund earn Honorable Mention All State for both offensive and defensive play. The Redcoat defense often saved the day by causing turnovers at crucial moments during games. This season the defensive unit set a school record by recovering 18 fumbles in one season. The Redcoat offensive unit also displayed moments of brilliance during the 1980 season. The offense had John Grib, Dave Fer-raguto, Phil Lund, and Dave Herr achieve All-Conference status and Dave Herr and Phil Lund earn Honorable Mention All State honors. The high point of the season occurred during the sixth game of the season against a highly favored and undefeated Avon team. The Redcoats met the challenge and defeated Avon 16-6 in a game dominated by Berlin in both offensive and defensive strategy. Throughout the entire game, the Redcoats utilized their full potential. In retrospect Coach Pelligrinelli commented, “I enjoyed working with this year's seniors and was proud of the job they all did.

An early November snowfall covered Sage Park with a white blanket four inches deep. The field's condition seemed unplayable until the day before the game, when Coach Pelligrinelli called upon the football team, drill team, cheerleaders, and other interested members at Berlin High to help shovel the snow off of the Sage Park football field After a grueling four and one half hours of effort, 150 students had cleared the field so that the game could be played. The Homecoming game against the Bloomfield Warhawks in many ways typified the Redcoat football season. Berlin scored early and decided to kick for the sure one point conversion. The Berlin defense was then called upon to hold onto this lead. This defensive squad held the Warhawks until, with less than two minutes, Bloomfield scored on a fourth down pass play The Warhawks then scored the two point conversion on another short pass, and Berlin was losing eight to seven Despite valiant efforts, the ensuing Berlin offensive drive stalled, and the score was left Bloomfield 8, Berlin 7, a heartbreaking loss for the Redcoats.

SHOOT THE HOOP On their 1980-81 campaign the Redcoat basketball team struggled but fell short of being a winning team. The game that best demonstrated this struggle was the Wilcox Tech game which was played when Berlin was in the cellar of the Northwest Conference and Wilcox Tech was unbeaten. On paper the game was no contest. But Coach George Hall had his team primed, and Wilcox escaped with only a two point victory. The Redcoats were led by senior John Grib and junior Doug Polanski in the scoring department and seniors Peter Powers and Grib in rebounds.

Boys' Basketball — 55 WIN THE MATCH From the first day of practice, the wrestling team faced almost insurmountable obstacles. Only nine wrestlers participated on the team which caused them to forfeit 24 points each match. This was the major reason for their disappointing 2-14 record. Under the fine leadership of Coach Bill Riccio, the team managed to overcome this handicap and defeated both RHAM High School and Terryville High School in close matches.

Underclassmen Casuals — 75 FIRST TURN FRESHMAN CLASS The Class of 1984, under the advisorship of Mr. War-burton, started the year with the traditional freshman magazine drive. A record-breaking $4,000 was raised for their class. During Spirit Week the freshmen chose 'The Flint-stones as their theme and gave it their all in trying to win the Pep Rally trophy. Freshman Welcome Day was held September 26, 1980, and the Freshmen were dressed as Mickey and Minnie Mouse. The freshmen enjoyed the film Support Your Local Sheriff and a bag lunch on the football field in addition to the attention and antics of the seniors. Welcome Day was not complete until Senior Court had taken place that night. Another freshman-senior event was the Berlin Council of Youth Scavenger Hunt. Working with Seniors for first place, the freshmen won fifty dollars for first place for their class treasury. The 1980 Homecoming Dance was the freshman class' first school formal event. Dana Niles was chosen the freshman attendant for the Homecoming Court. Freshmen ended an eventful year hosting a farewell breakfast and dance for seniors.

Underclassmen Freshmen — 77 NEXT MOVE SOPHOMORE CLASS Members of the Class of 1982 enjoyed a profitable year of fundraising for their upperclass activities. A successful Sweeten Me Up booth at the Berlin Fair drew crowds to throw pies at their favorite teachers and friends. Obeying the new rule which banned selling candy in school, the sophomores held a candy sale out of school and did very well. A car wash and a movie were held in the spring to raise additional funds. For Spirit Week the sophomores decorated their halls with Smurfs. So enthusiastic was their class spirit that the sophomores questioned who really won the Spirit trophy, the seniors or the sophomores. Later in the fall Carla Grasso was elected the sophomore attendant to the 1980 Homecoming Court. In the spring, the sophomores ordered their class rings and began formal preparations for their junior prom. The sophomores are a delightful class with which to work. A very active responsible nucleus of workers can be called and relied upon at any time.

Spirit Week started the activities for the year, and the juniors decorated their area with Sesame Street characters. As most juniors have their drivers license, they were well represented in the motorcade. In spite of their efforts, the juniors were unable to beat the seniors for the Spirit trophy. The long-awaited class rings arrived October 9, 1980. Berlin High halls were the scene of juniors following the tradition of having their rings turned 82 times. The junior class attendant to the 1980 Homecoming Court was Katie McHale. Throughout the year juniors took a battery of tests including P.S.A.T.'s, the Armed Forces Aptitude Test, and S.A.T s. Much junior energy was directed to raising money for the Junior Prom. The prom was held March 13, 1981, at the Aqua Turf in Southington, Ct. The Class of 1982 is often called the richest class. Class Advisor Mr. Lariviere commented on their label. The class worked for what they have. Those less inclined to work, please take note.

Underclassmen Casuals — 83 Political figures had the most influent e on the year 1980-1981, an election year. Jimmy Carter said farewell after losing his bid for a second term in office, and Ronald Reagan moved into the White House The election of Ronald Reagan, a 70-year-old former actor and governor of California and the first president to have been divorced, represented a change in American attitudes and the start of a new era of conservatism. With the U.S. economic problems, the steady rise of inflation, and the realization that the U.S. has weakened in its position as strategic and economic leader of the world, Americans w ere ready for a change, for someone to give them new hope Overseas familiar faces in the news were the exiled Shah of Iran, the Ayatollah Khomeini, Iranian terrorists, and Cuban president Fidel Castro The exiled Shah died in Egypt in early 1980, but his death did not bring an end to the plight of the 52 American hostages who were not released until January 20, 1981. Another American international problem concerned the Cuban refugees.

In music trends, 1980 brought a decline in the popularity of disco, the rage of 1979. New wave grew in popularity, and singers such as Chrissie Hvnde. The Cars, and The Pretenders enjoyed hit songs. Rock, however, remained the most popular music among high school students. Pat Bena-tar, one of the few women rock singers today, had two songs in the top ten for 1980. Heartbreaker and Hit Me With Your Best Shot Popular rock groups of 1980-1981 included The Doors. Pink Floyd, Van Halen, Boz Scagg. Charlie Daniels Band, The Eagles, and Journey. Although disco was fading, artists such as Rod Stewart, Blondie, Donna Summer, and Kool and the Gang made hit songs Kenny Rogers enjoyed new popularity in country music, and well known artists such as Glen Campbell and Mel Tillis were also at the top of the charts. At the beginning of 1981, the top ten songs in the nation included 9-5 by Dolly Parton, Celebra- j tion by Kool and the Gang, Tide Is High by Blondie. Hey Nineteen IN PEOPLE by Steely Dan, and Best of Times by Styx In fashion, the Preppie look, with Izod shirts, Oxford shirts, docksid-ers, chino and Dickies pants, and bright colors remained popular Models Bo Derek, who inspired a new hair style, and Brooke Shields, who had her first major role in 'The Blue Lagoon, were familiar fashion fact's. 1980-81 was called The Year of the Box Office Blues because only three movies, Private Benjamin. Airplane, and The Empire Strikes Back, were box office smashes. Other popular movies included the comedy Stir Crazy, several horror movies such as Dressed to Kill, and Friday the 13th, and more serious movies Coal Miner's Daughter and Elephant Man. In his first role as director. Robert Redtord was enormously successful with the movie Ordinary' People, an adaptation of Judith Guest's novel In television, the Friday night soap opera Dallas, had the highest series rating in history in a time block that usually has the lowest viewing, as Americans watched to find out Who shot J R ?

The year 1980-81 also saw the deaths of many well known personalities and political figures including Alfred Hitchcock, Steve McQueen. Peter Sellers, and Mae West.

Later in the year Sue Kristopik was chosen as sophomore attendant for the Homecoming Court. The rest of the year members of the Class of 1981 worked on a towel sale in late fall, a Christmas food collection in December, a car wash in April, and a spring candy sale. At the end of the school year sophomores, who were busy ordering class rings and planning the Junior Prom, eagerly looked forward to their junior year.

Last year the English Department established writing guidelines which are being used in all departments. Additional efforts to improve writing skills include the addition of a juniors Honors English course and an experimental writing workshop program in sophomore English classes. Also juniors are placed in communications courses according to their abilities. In the junior and senior years the extensive elective program is enjoyed by both students and teachers. Students are more receptive because they have interest in the subject they are studying, and teachers have the opportunity to teach in their special areas of interest such as creative writing, drama, poetry', or journalism.

The computer program is being expanded, and an Introduction to Computers course has been added to the curriculum to involve more students in computer programming. Many students are involved in the Math team which competes in the Middlesex league against teams such as Xavier, Middletown, and RAM. Advised by Mrs. Gail Bates, the team consistently placed fourth or fifth among the fourteen competing teams. A new teacher in the department is Mr.Rex Smith, formerly a teacher at St. Paul Catholic High in Bristol. A long time instructor, Mr. Donald Bates, is retiring this year after teaching at Berlin High for thirty years. When he began his career in Berlin, Mr. Bates was the only math teacher in the high school. 142 — Math Mr. Richard Kaminski Business Math Geometry Mr. William Riccio Geometry Mr. Rex Smith Business Math Algebra Mr. Philip Crockett Consumer Math Algebra Mr. Kenneth Sherrick Department Head Mr. James Bryers Algebra Geometry Math - 143 Experimental Avenue The science laboratory program at Berlin High is improving each year. This year almost all, instead of just the accelerated, chemistry and physics classes have double lab periods. Also a lot of old but useful equipment has been repaired which made it possible to have better labs. Department head Dr. Fuhrman says that she has noticed that students are becoming more interested in science. Over 75 seniors are enrolled in physics this year. Students' interest in science has extended beyond class enrollments. Junior Mike Keezing attended an Energy Symposium in Washington D.C. this year. During the summer Sue Kristopik went to the University of Oklahoma for a National Science Foundation Program.

Science — 145 People's Place A Seminar on Modern Russia and History of China and Japan are two of the new courses which were added to the Social Studies department this year. These courses emphasize contemporary times in these countries and the relationship of their societies to the United States. The addition of 20th Century U.S. History and a new geography class provide even more diversification in course offerings. Mr. Goodrow's class in Ancient and Medieval History remains a popular freshman course with a 150 student enrollment this year. Another heavily enrolled class is Sociology, which emphasizes class discussions and group projects instead of lectures. Taught by Mr. Hall, the course is always popular with seniors.

Courses such as “The Consumer and the Market Place and “Independent Living stress the importance of using money efficiently. Marriage and Management is now being taught in the Home Economics department after previously being taught as a Social Studies course. Home Economics classes are often involved in the community. HERO, a club which is an offshoot of the Cooking for a Crowd class, did some catering this year and held cookie and pie sales. The Child Development class again managed a playschool which is an important learning experience for students and is also appreciated childcare for parents in Berlin. Mrs. Emilie L.

Each student who completes the course receives a certificate which states that he she is certified to administer first aid. Teachers involved in Health education are in the process of writing a more detailed curriculum for next year. To make the scheduling of electives for juniors and seniors easier, students signed up for specific courses on the first day of class this year. The department conducted a survey last year to determine which courses to offer. Volleyball, floorhockey, and racquet-ball were the most popular courses. Mr. Richard McKeon, a Berlin High School and Springfield College graduate, is a new member of the department. He replaces Mr. Gibney, who retired in 1980 after years of teaching in Berlin.

One very successful combination of art with English is the team-taught Humanities course. Another interdepartmental effort this year is the creation of a mural of the periodic tables for the Science department by one art class. In a less formal inter-department combination art teachers frequently lecture on the art of a particular time period for a foreign language or history class. Portfolio Inc. is a group of students who are seriously interested in art. Under the direction of the new department head, Mrs. Archer, they explore careers in art and prepare portfolios for interviews. Mrs. Karen I. Recor Ceramics Craft Art - 151 Cultural Exchange Foreign Language classes are often involved in activities other than regular classroom work. During French classes students view video-taped French plays and other French works. The Spanish classes often make tacos or work with the language lab. All of the language classes work together on fundraisers, such as the International Dinner, to raise money for field trips. This year the Spanish classes went to New York City to see the play Ei’ita and the French IV class went to Trinity College in Hartford to see Moliere's play The Miser. A new conversational German class has been added to the curriculum this year. The course, taught by Mr. Frost, has attracted a surprising number of interested students. This year the Latin II and III classes are combined which calls for more individual work on the part of the students. Mr. Arnold V. Frost French German Mrs. Sandra L.

In addition business courses are helpful to students who want to learn simple typing skills, to Trinity College in Hartford to see Moliere's play “The Miser.
