Gugi t Black Riv v ttujh School 1970-1986 William Crozier came to Ludlow in 1970. and spent sixteen years in our school system. During his years at Black River High School. Mr. Crozier participated in many school functions. For eight years he was crossing guard and during the week before Christmas vacation he would dress up as Santa and hand out candy canes to children while on duty. Numerous science fairs were judged at the Ludlow Ele- mentary School by Mr. Crozier over the years. During the annual Black River High School Winter Carnival he refereed many events which he enjoyed immensely. In 1977 Mr. Crozier formed his famous surveying team “E and the MC2’s”. That same year the team raised enough money to travel to the Ocianographic Technical Center in Woods Hole, Massachusetts for a three day science visit. In 1980 he volunteered the services of his Physics class to move a piano, and henceforth they were known as “Wild Bill’s Piano Movers”. He also served on various committees for the Ludlow Teacher’s Association. Mr. Crozier will best be remembered for his happy, jocular, and friendly personality. A man who gave much and expected little in return. 2 hi Owv Ftoifr nowt .... Shawn .( 1 Joey Beth Mary Ann Mark Robin Matt Jimmy y Andy Greg W.

This year, we are very pleased to be hosting Nicole Schuh from West Germany as our foreign exchange student. The high school chapter has been busy holding fund-raising activities to pay our internation- al dues, and to help fund our planned exchange with another high school within our own Country. This type of exchange gives our students an opportunity to visit and see a different school and community and helps to broaden their viewpoints and experiences.

The seven graduating seniors were a major part of this achievement. The team’s leading scorer was Greg Witalec, M.V.P. was Howard Paul, and M.I.P. was Jack Koponen. Greg Wita- lec and Howard Paul were selected to the M.V.L. All-Opponent Team and to the All-State Team. Norm Gagnon was the Army M.V.P. recipient. Mr. Valente was assisted by Mr. An- ton, who coached the J.V.'s for the first time. The team would like to thank all who supported them this year, and looks forward to continued success in basketball and baseball.

There were 2 seniors on the team, 1986 co-Captain Chris Tougas and Pam Seal. Chris will surely remember her soccer career well as she scored the winning goal in her junior year in the State Championship game and this year being the Army M.V.P. Pam has played soccer only two years and was also a member of the 1985 Championship team. This year she made the transition from Midfielder to Fullback, not an easy change to make. Both contributed to our success in the second half of the season and I wish them both the best of luck. Karl Roemer 59 BOYS VARSITY BASKETBALL The 1986-1987 Presidents basketball team boasts 4 re- turning starters and a total of 7 seniors. With this much exper- ience back, good things are expected from the team this year. Two personal highlights will be the attainment of the 1,000 career points for Greg Witalec and Matt Warnecke. After last year's semi-final loss, we are looking forward to a state championship in 1987.

They learned the basics of golf and the rules necessary to compete with area schools. This season the golfers saw many beautiful and challenging courses throughout the state. Some of the courses played were Woodstock C.C., Stratton C.C., Manchester C.C., and our home course, Fox Run. The golf schedule was made up of eleven matches and five of our best players competed in strokeplay competi- tion. The golf team would like to leave you with this riddle. (Why did the golfer wear two pairs of pants?) In case he got a Hole in one. Front: Peter Pollender, George Covalla. Back: J.J.

Tiueki BENSON'S CHEVROLET INC. Ludlow, VT Main St. 228-4000 91 A thought from Cota Cota: If you sometimes get discouraged, consider this fellow. He dropped out of grade school. Ran a country store. Went broke. Took 15 years years to pay off his bills. Took a wife. Unhappy marriage. Ran for House. Lost twice. Ran for Senate. Lost twice. Delivered speech that became a classic. Audience indifferent. Attacked daily by the press and despised by half the country. Despite all this, imagine how many people all over the world have been inspired by this awkward, rumpled, brooding man who signed his name simply, A. Lincoln.
