With your neverending knowledge, support, and spirit you gave us incentive to try harder and do our best. Aside from teaching, your involvement in extracurricular activities has brought us new experiences; experiences that will enhance our abilities in areas of society we are introduced with. We were given the sense of responsibility and achievement through your confidence and motivation. You've guided us with your outgoing personality in every special way to our development. It's been a great privilege to us to have you, the 1987-88 Vermont teacher of the year, as our senior advisor, teacher, coach, and friend. As we walk through the doors of Black River High School, we walk into our future and we thank you for giving us the tools for success. With our deepest appreciation and gratitude, we proudly dedicate the 1988 Banner to you. 4 nilil •� ( HjL SENIORS W'i 'o v :i Kelly Adams “He that wrongs his friends, wrongs himself more, and ever hears about, a silent court of justice in his breast, himself the judge and the jury, the prisoner at the bar, ever condemned.

This winter field trip had been planned since early September 1987, and was paid for by the students through an assessment of weekly dues. The dues paid for their overnight ac- commodations. The students brought original artwork, and projects for dis- play. Of particular note were two sketch- es, one by Craig Goodman of an ancient Spartan warrior, and the other by Tonya Leach of the Trojan Princess Cassandra. The reason that Bowdoin was chosen was because of its outstanding private collection of ancicnce Greek and Romana artifacts housed in the Walker Art Museum. The students toured through the Walker Art Museum, the Pcary-McMillan Arctic Museum, and the Bowdoin Campus. After seeing the exhibits at the Walker museum, the stu- dents realized the wealth of knowledge bequeathed to Western Civilization by the ancient Greeks. The displays are stunning and range from Black-figure panel amphora by the Painter of Berlin 1686, Attic to such works as the Red- figure column kratcr, related to the school of Polygnotos, Attic; the White ground lekythos from the school of the Achilles Painter, Attic to the Rcd-figurc lekythos by the Bowdoin painter, Attic; these examples date from between 550 B.C. to 420 B.C. over 2400 years ago. The Classical Association is now in its third year, and is growing. This year Monica Emmons was elected President; and Tonya Leach was elected Secrc- tary Treasurer. The Classical Associa- tion attended the March 23, 1988, Latin Day at U.V.M. for the second consec- utive year. Association members for 1987-88 were: Tonya Leach, Monica Emmons, Jack Koponen, Penny Wu, Craig Goodman, and Rich NicolofT. Ad- visor was Mr. Thomas Sicfring. 48 FACULTY THE DIFFICULT WE DO RIGHT AWAY THE IMPOSSIBLE TAKES A LITTLE WHILE LONGER Top DR Sue Pollender, Carol Ballou, Isabell Montgomery, Jim O’Neill, Fred Morrison, Shawn Sullivan, Paul Stagner, Chuck Stanley, John Witalec, Sue Jones, Marcia Dockum, Virginia Gurdak, Joe Fitzgerald, Henry Kraft, Joe Gurdak, Tony Valente, Robert Frappier, Colleen O’Connell, Mike Marquis, Tom Siefring, Jennifer Stowcll, David Royce, Anita Pickielnok, Georgia Wyman, Phil Anton To Our Teachers: You are the ones who guide our day By telling us that life is really O.K. You have been with us for quite a while Greeting us each day with your genuine smiles. You see us when we’re happy and sad Or when things get really bad Somehow, some way you always clear the way To further enhance our goals for the next day. Sometimes you probably lose it with us Waiting for 2:10 to come so we can leave on the bus Wondering how we feel Well sometimes to us it isn’t a fair deal. Please give us 10 years to mature, To develop the knowledge so pure. And when we come back with our degrees ... You will see how our life turned out to be.

Members this year are Jack Koponen, Rich Nicoloff, Tricia Wood, Danny Gray, Marty O’Connor, Robert, Mathew, and John Zimnick. Practice games were staged from October-December and the final double elimination tourna- ment was completed by January 1988. Jack Koponen took the 1st place trophy, Robert Zimnick, 2nd place, and the “Most Improved Award” went to John Zimnick. Al- together over 72 games were played, and many skills honed. Next year there will be a complete realignment with several members graduating this year. All in all, it was a very successful chess tournament for all involved. From Left to Right Jack Koponen, Mr. Siefring, John Zimnick, Matt Zimnick, Rich Nicoloff, Robert Zimnick FUTURE HOMEMAKERS OF AMERICA Left to Right Vicki Spicer, Mrs. Jones, Monica Emmons, Jessica Norton, Bob Cappicllo, Amy Hebert FHA is a student run local affiliate of the national F.H.A. We provide home economic re- lated training in areas such as: cooking, child care, community service (helping Gill Home res- idents write Xmas cards). We have several fund raisers throughout the years to raise money to attend State run F.H.A. meetings as well as a state convention in the spring. At the spring convention the students compete in areas such as public speaking, clothing con- struction, crafts hobbies, food preparation, and others. 59 STUDENT COUNCIL A week before Thanksgiving the student council collected canned foods, fresh vegetables, and breads to make several full Thanksgiving meals. The meals were given to the Ludlow food shelf who distributed them to the needy of Ludlow. In December they also sold fried bread dough at the Xmas bazaar as a fund raiser for their events.

The fall production, a comedy by William Davidson called “Brother Goose,” provided an evening full of sparkling dialogue, laughter, and even some serious moments. Our local theatregoers had the op- portunity of seeing the living, breathing characters of Samuel L. Clemens’ imperishable classic, “Tom Sawyer,” transferred to the stage by Sara Spencer, when it was presented as the spring production. The play included junior and senior high actors. From Left to Right Jenny Hannan, Ava Bushnell, Gene Rowe, Amy Perkins, Aprille Lawrence, Rich NicolofT, Julie McGuire, Susie Snow, David Rabow, Ruth Schweisthal, Beren Anderson, Mr. Frappier National History Project This year’s theme is “Frontiers in History.” Thirty students are working on videos, performances, and projects re- lated to the theme. They are dealing with topics in various areas from the Vermont envi- ronment to the Finnish settle- ment in Ludlow.

We hosted two Home Tournaments; Oct. 17, 1987 in which we placed third overall; and January 16, 1988. Black River’s Team took more than its share of Trophies during the eight State Cham- pionship Tournaments and state championship Final, the latter at Lyndon State College on April 2, 1987. You might very well ask yourself what exactly is Forensics? Is it something from that t.v. serial “Quincy?” Well that is not the case. Forensics has been around since circa 500 b.c. It is the formal term for public speaking. Argumentative Address, and Debate. Forensics categories are very structured and ONLY THE HARDY survive. This year Black River High School was accepted into the National Forensics League, and elected its first slate of new officers on January 11th, 1988. The new Chapter’s officers were President; Tonya Leach, Vice President; Rich NicolofT, Secretary; Ruth Schweisthal, Treasurer; Monica Emmons. 65 Ted Brown Brett Sanderson Jim Call Tom Sehnal Cristal Hannan Marty O’Connor Jenny O’Connor Melissa Waysville Lori Garrow Angie Bryant Sean Gagnon Aaron Ouvaroff 79 Dan Crowley Danny VanGuilder Peter Oleski Griffin Ballou Bill Davis Mike Murray Jullie McGuire Penny Wu Randall Roundy Debbie Crossman Alyson Blodgett Ruth Schweisthal Mark Nowak Carole Webb Carlos Sanchez Kevin Zaloudek Brenda Johnson Aaron Cavoto Charity Blanchard Beren Anderson Mark Thurston Vicki Spicer Sue Hugerth Kelly Adams X STUDENTS WALK OUT at BLACK RIVER HIGH Sandy Ahonen Tonya Leach Collier Yarish Katja Rissanen Jenny Hannan Susie Snow Tina Cross Jason Pitz Angie DeRosia Kevin Smith Darica Cole Sandi Brown Sara Wells Chad Stocker Vicki Edwards Peter Perkins Craig Goodman Ava Bushnell Kris Kelly Greg Kobak Jessica Guica Kenny Adams Heidi Thompson Kelly O’Neil Stacie Putnam Peter Pollender Brian Wells Steve Stanley Mike Baker Melissa Gerry Kelly VanGuilder Rich Nicoloff Sandy Corbin Mary Libuda Doreen Dumais Andrew Case Sheri Greenslit Michelle Snow Julie Lombard Ken Errington Tricia Woods Dennis VanGuilder Bonnie Marro Paul Seal 66 BRHS SPORTS Young Team Boy’s Varsity Soccer Standing I R Carlos Sanchez, Chris Miele, Greg Benson, Paul Seal, Jack Koponcn, Howard Paul, Peter Oleski, Craig Goodman, Randall Roundy, Beren Anderson, Coach Valente Kneeling DR JefT Greene, Scott Beckwith, Peter Pollender, Daniel Crowley, Alan Veysey, Ted Brown, Robert Zimnick, Perry Seal Sitting DR Sean Gagnon, Eric Stocker, JefT Milligan, Chris Valente, Matt Pitz, Aaron Ouveroflf Keeps Jug Boy’s Scores “Tri Captains: Randall, Howard, and Beren proud to keep jug!!” 1987 Boys Varsity Soccer A devastating loss to 0 graduation forced the rel- 0 atively inexperienced q players into action.

As it turned out, we did win that game 1-0 under the lights on Pullinen Field. We were fortunate to have two “All Opponent Team” members — Randall Roundy and Howard Paul.

VARISTY GIRLS SOCCER The 1987 Girls Soccer Team finished the year with a fine 11-4-1 record and going as far as the state semifinals before losing to the eventual state champions G.M.V.S. The team was led by Senior co-captains Penny Wu and Kelly Van Guilder — both were selected to the All League Team and All-State Team. Both represent B.R. in the annual Lions Cup game this summer. The girls selected Kelly as the team’s MVP, while freshman Mary Libuda was picked as the most Improved. Senior Sandi Brown was given a special Coach- es Award for her 4 years of hard work — She was also picked to the All-League team. Another Senior, Melissa Gerry, playing in her first year was a big help to the team this year. Two other Seniorson the team — Kelly Adams and Tonya Leach — both injured in car accidents, could not play in their final year but acted as the team’s Managers. This group of Seniors, in their 4 years of the team, have contributed to an overall record of 45-14-6 and 2 State Championships. I’m sure they will also be very proud of this in the coming years. To the class of '881 would like to wish the best of luck in the future and Thanks for everything. You will be missed.

Losing seven seniors left many question marks and holes. Our rebuilding was a hard effort but most responded well. Several young players got lots of playing time. And even though our won — loss record was not good, the future looks bright for us indeed. Capping off their high school careers are Captain Howard Paul, David Rabow, Paul Seal and Randall Roundy. Randall pulls up for 2 under pressure.

Good Job Guys! CRICKET as explained to a foreign visitor You have two sides one out in the field and one in. Each man that’s in goes out and when he’s out he comes in and the next man goes in until he’s out. When they are all out the side that’s out comes in and the side that’s been in goes out and tries to get those coming in out. Sometimes you get men still in and not out. When both sides have been in and out including the not outs THAT’S THE END OF THE GAME HOWZAT! 78 Chakarida Nukookit Chakarida “Ai” Nukookit is the daughter of Somchart and Supinya Nukookit and has one sister named Am. She was bom on Jan. 21, 1970 in Bangkok, Thailand. Ai likes the freedom, skiing, and the crazy people in the U.S., but misses her friends and family, the food, and the boys back in Thailand. Her class load includes Advanced Math, English, typing, anatomy, U.S. History, physics, and Computer Literacy. After Ai graduates she plans on going to college to study Computer Science. During her stay in the states she is living with Bob and Marianne Fletcher. The idea that teenagers are alike all over the world becomes evident when Ai stated, “This school is fun when I go to the games, but sometimes in class, it’s boring.” Carlos Sanchez Carlos Sanchez, the son of Carlos and Alberta Sanchez, was bom on Nov. 27, 1969 in Madrid, Spain. He has no brothers and only one sister, Bejo Na, who was also a foreign exchange student. Carlos likes to play tennis, basketball, and soccer. He has also learned how to ski this winter. Of skiing he has only one thing to say, “It’s awesome!” He misses his friends in Spain, the buses in Spain, and especially “the bars.” A few of the classes Carlos attends are Calculus, chemistry, English, and Computer Literacy — his “relaxing class.” Carlos enjoys many things but most of all he says, “I love girls and planes!” Carlos is currently staying in the home of Ken and Janet Gerry. Peter Oleski Peter Oleski, bom on November 9, 1969 in Hamburg of the Federal Republic of Germany, is the son of Klaus and Sybille Oleski. Peter is staying at the home of Greg and Karen Trimboli during his stay in the U.S. A couple of the things that he enjoys here in Ludlow are “having it easy in school,” and being able to watch 39 T.V. stations. Although he likes it here, Peter still misses his friends in Germany, being able to drink, and his “stuff at home.” Besides taking classes in calculus, U.S. history, English and Physics, he also takes Advanced Computing which he calls his favorite class. Peter says, “My favorite teacher is Mr. Sullivan, because he is so well organized.” He also says that he likes to watch American football, and when asked “Why?”, he just said, “It’s crazy! Just Crazy!!” Katja Rissanen Katja Rissanen was bom on Sept. 29, 1970 in Turku, Finland. She is the daughter of Kalevi and Marja-Leena Rissanen and has a younger sister, Kaisa, and an older brother, Kimmo. She is living in Ludlow with her relatives Pat and Judy Pullinen. Katja likes New York and Florida, but misses her friends, family, and sauna. During basketball season she was a member of the cheerleading squad. She was asked to say something about cheer- leading, and she replied, “It was fun, kind of stupid sometimes, though.” Even though she is a senior, Katja still has two more years of school back in Finland. After she is finished with high school, she would like to attend college in the U.S. “Who’s my favorite teacher? I don’t have any.” CHRISTOPHER PENNEY OWNER 802-228-7822 (802) 228-8499 Lake Pauline Ludlow, VT RFD 1 Lakeside Saw Shop HOURS: 11:30 A.M. TIL ... TAKE OUT ORDERS THE MILL 145 MAIN ST.

As our friendships grew throughout Flowing into one mass of swirling water. Together, for a time. With different pasts and the years. Always knowing that this day would different futures.

As our lives grow apart, we will always have a special person in our hearts with never ending love. by Aprille Lawrence by Melissa Gerry REMEMBER WHEN Remember when we all first met We were all too naive, too many things set. Remember in sixth grade playing kick ball, out for recess Because we were older we thought we were the best. Remember all those dreams we dreamt. Too many words spoken, not enough promises kept. Remember the times at school all of us acting so cool. Remember that test we had to take Gotta go to the nurse, time to fake. Remember always sittin’ in Village, why? Nothing else to do but watch the cars go by. Remember when each of us fell in love We all were flying high ... above. Remember that smile Knew it would be around for awhile. Remember when we said forever It meant we’d always be together. Remember when things use to be like they were Answering questions, sometimes unsure. Remember when we all left school We had our reasons, although we broke a rule. Remember when yesterday was slipping into today, onto tomorrow Wishing no days of sorrow. Remember when we do say goodbye Don’t run or hide, just laugh or smile, probably even cry. 104 — Kelly VanGuilder When we look back on toda away, We will recall the love that w And when our days are throu Though we may never For when the days and years We will be back one more ...
