Class Of 1981 Presents MEMOIR Berne Knox Westerlo Central School Berne, Mew York Volume XLIV “Endsheets were donated by the 1980 Memoir Staff Contents Seniors Personnel School Life Students Advertising Foreward In the publication of Memoir '81 the staff aims to present the over all picture of our school. Our vision of the school experience is one of integration. The sound of voices in the hall, friendship, sports, activities, studies, bus rides ■ all combine to enrich the life which is Berne-Knox Westerlo Central School. But our school is not a separate life, it is a composite of many days, many lives.

This Board is dedicated to providing a curriculum so that students are constructive members of American society. Board Of Education SENIORS We, the Class of ’81, approach our commencement with thoughts of you, Kyle. We think of you a lot; during a homeroom discussion, or when talking over good times and yesterday's classes. You were the fun kid, the good friend, the best. And more than that, you were nice to everyone. You are part of this yearbook, our last days of school, our fond memories. We grew up with you for thirteen years, we will not forget you as we grow through life. This book is for you. In memory of you SUPER SENIORS HISTORY We began rather innocently selling carrots during break time in 8th grade because selling candy was illegal. We didn't make much money then, but we did develop some carrot peeling talent for future smorgs. From that beginning, we steadily improved the projects we undertook, losing some of our innocence, but maintaining most of our spirit. That spirit helped us to set up round-robin baseball games when we were freshmen; to win the one-act play contest when we were sophomores; and encouraged most of us to attempt roller skating when we were juniors. Some never got out of the skating rink game-room but most of us made it gracefully around the rink at least once. Some on two feet, some on one foot, some on . . . Well, we did eventually become graceful. Our prom, at the Turf Inn provided a special magic which transformed us for a little while into the full-fledged adults we would soon become. We're seniors now. Our recent carnival, dance, and smorg have been so well organized, hardly anyone remembers that as freshmen, we used a stick to stir the lemonade for our field day. We’ve accomplished much since then and soon we graduate. We've learned to share the work, the fun, the set-backs, and the credit. All of this we've learned together, and this is the way we will remember our high school years . . . together. RECLINING: Scott Greene.

FIFTH GRADE The life of a fifth grader revolves around learning to love the Dallas Cowboys. Reading, writing, arithmetic and American history take a back seat to Danny White at N.F.C. time.

It is a sad year of looking back, and a happy year of gazing forward. According to the mentors, The most valuable philosophy a teacher can have is to love one’s work and to care deeply about the people you're teaching. If you do, all else will fall into place. A real Thanksgiving has become a sixth grade tradition. 47 Standing : Earnest Ecker. Reading; David Troy. Special Ed.. Connecticut State; Katheryn Vitelli. Speech; Diane Henningson.

SPECIAL EDUCATION Educational services in Berne-knox Westerlo are individualized in the areas of reading, writing, math and life skills. These services provide more individualized attention, whether a student is prepping for the SAT.’s or moving at a different pace. As Mr. Troy has said, “Learning should be fun and everlasting. Susanne Loetterle poses with her students in the reading room. 8 1980-81 was The Year of the Kalaka . Mr. Troy needs all the special education he can muster to get Mr. Kimball's mean machine in gear.

The authoress also feels that parents are a child’s first and most important teachers. Interests include Mr. Englebardt’s competing in marathons, while Mrs. Sisson enjoys what she excells in, reading. The jungle bars take the chill from a cool day. “What's going on? Who can tell from the front row. 1st Grade so The science teachers are a molded unit. Their varied interests include needlework, swimming, golf and acting.

Mrs. Tigner had an interesting reply. “The Board of Education asked me to take the classes for a couple of weeks until they could get a permanent teacher. —That was 24 years ago. Mr. Leonard's thought caught the heart of an artist: The man who works with his hands is a laborer. 52 The man who works with his hands and his brain is a craftsman. The man who works with his hands, his brains, and his heart is an artist. Anyway you look, it's a long haul. . . 7 ’ 7 Don t bother us-we re dreaming. KINDERGARTEN: the educational chapter in a child’s life which ends on a warm June evening thirteen years later. As students, our primary teachers all enjoyed social studies. Miss Lotho, from the Philippines, is our most exotic faculty member. Right from the start, Mrs. Condon holds it important to teach self worth. 53 ELizabeth Earle, Vincent Smith, Michael Richmond, Mitchel Haverly, Potsdam. MUSIC Musical groups provide opportunities for learning, performance, and companionship. From a lead role in the musical, to composing, through acceptance in the Empire Youth State Orchestra, it all begins with the first triangle lesson in elementary school. As Mr. Haverly says, “Excellence is a disease worth catching. Note the way it sounds on the left; looks on the right. The band concentrates, listens; are composed. 54 ENGLISH The English faculty poses on the set of the senior play, apropos since drama is an interest for many of them. Mrs. Ambrosio helps with artistic design, while Mrs. Hayden and Mrs. Lapinski direct our school productions.

SOCIAL STCIDIES Our photogenic social studies staff has a variety of interests. Mr. Eaton ran track in college, but he is best known to his fellow workers as the local agent for the N.F.L Mr Brautigam. a First year teacher from Wisconsin, also likes running and plays the guitar; Mr Foley fields a multitude of interests; the arts.sports. politics. He states the following concept: teaching students to think in new ways and about things not previously experienced is the ultimate goal of all formal education. 56 9th grade social studies is a good time to catch up on current events. Compute it. Write it. Now check the kid next to you. Look at Tom Raber; Math is just a bowl of cherries. George Plouffe fell out of the tree. Mr Sossei holds the longevity record as math teacher; the rest are still cutting their teeth on B.K. Among special accomplishments, Mrs. D. has published in professional journals; Mr. Porter is doing advanced studies in accounting; Mr. Dennis states the basic philosophy: give a man a fish, he will eat for a day; teach him to fish, he will eat for a lifetime. Donald Dennis. Plattsburgh: William Sossei, James Porter, Berne-Knox. Sheila Dolgowich, Department Chair, organizes the computer lab in between geometric theorems. 57 Good- bye old school, old friend, old Alma Mater. Junius has his own opinion about the busride home.

Jeffrey Teats, Springfield; Elizabeth Zimmer, Ithaca; James Gillis, Springfield; Julie Foley, Robert Wells, Ithaca, PHYSICAL EDUCATION Everything has its time and place, so textbooks collect splinters during gym class. Our physical education people are a happy bunch who espouse a special philosophy: Eric Stempel cries, Far out, man. Thompsons wild and crazy player. Those who can, do. Those who can’t, teach Those who can’t teach, teach P.E. Those who can't teach P.E. become administrators. 59 Board of Cooperative Educational Services. Food Preparation Robert Weaver Walter Jones Together, they run the Good Ship BOCES The business staff involves its students in life activities. They run the book store, have an annual carnation sale, and participate in the Cobles-kill contests. The staff has ranging philosophies. Together they might be heard saying, Friendship is just a touch away .... reach out! and Praise the Lord and pass the amuni-tion. Warchol is all business. What evil person lurks behind that door. Frank Whipple, Fla. Southern; Helen Methe, Syracuse; Michael Bagetta, St. Rose BUSINESS Secretaries remember what it was like in Typing 101. Helen Wesser, Stephen Addeo, Brooklyn College, Eva Anderson, Helen Lounsbury, New Paltz Fourth grade teachers enjoy a variety of subjects: science, history, Poli-sci, creative writing and English literature. Mr. Addeo boasts of being the only Italian in his family to have kissed the Blarney Stone. Mrs. Lounsbury believes in encouraging independent thought.

The 1980 girls won the league; the Herzogs starred. A place on a Bulldog Team is both honor and pleasure. 75 76 LITTLE MARY SUNSHINE The highlight of spring 1980 was the musical little mary sunshine. The duets of Lori Ayler and Joe Burby continued in harmony after the last curtain call. The dancing of our Royal Mounted Chorus and antics of Indian Putzig captivated the full house.
