£CUOGQolyiU'70$. . . We have spent the last four years in the closing of the decade. As freshmen, we entered into a cloud of confusion and as seniors, we depart with a greater awareness of ourselves and the years to come. How will these past four years be remembered? ... as we attempted to adjust to the new atmosphere, we experienced . . . the teacher's strike . . . our Lacrosse team was the state champs . . .Nadia Comaneci and Bruce Jenner in the Montreal Olympics . . . our class officers: Terry, Cindy, Mike and Sue . . . Carter was elected President. . . our first gymnastics team . . . KISS . . . our freshman Homecoming Prin cess: Kim Anthony . . . Freshmen Basketball team was NUMBER ONE. Qopho o . . . we were not new but a long way off from being old. Many people thought we should be down in the pits. Remember the donut sales . . . preparing for the Sadie Hawkins Dance . . .stealing the senior bench . . .the Karen Quinlan Case . . . Frampton Comes Alive . . . The Cong Show..CB Craze . . . our class officers: John, Doreen, Susan and Valerie . . . our Sophomore Homecoming Princess; Patti Antero . . .final farewell to Bing, Groucho and Elvis. 2 Junto . . . we came alive, starting off with the record breaking total of $10,900 on the magazine drive, which we still hold (Ha! Ha! Class of 1980) . . . Godspell . . . driving licenses . . . snowdays . . . Meatloaf . . . partytime . . . Boon-ton's first state champion in track, high jumper, Karen Krawiec, . . .

Looks Like We Made It. Since the Freshman year, both the administration and the class of '79 has undergone many changes. Mr. Hino, the new V.P. . . . ten new teachers . . . different policies for being late and smoking . . . they even took the Shirts off our backs!. . . rose day . . . Senior dress-up day . . . Animal House . . . Toga, Toga, Toga! . . . Senior Banquet . . . Senior Picnic . . . We concluded our four years at BHS with our graduation. 3 4 6 We finally sit back and reminisce at the fun, traumas and challenges we've faced in the past four years. Anarchy ruled our freshman year when the teachers went on strike. Together we were lost in a sea of faces. Our sophomore year we were individuals. We all took courses like geometry, where Claire Sacuk wonders, The hypotenus equals what? The class of 79 earned money at donut sales. They were a great success, especially when Sue Hemberger and Cindy Kane were at the helm. Remember the 48 hour one-to-one Volleyball Marathon? Hey Deb, neat outfit! Gretchen Forester was our junior Princess . . . the Frosh Basketball team was the BEST. Hats Off to the Patti Antcro as a sophomore in the Homecoming Court. Don't worry, Sandy tomorrow's another day.

Although the band performs after school, it is a course in the curriculum. This year's president was Margaret Donahue. Helping her was treasurer Patti Sanders, and secretary, Julie Gallagher. The Concert Band performed a spring and winter concert. Karen Engert and Patti Sanders, playing the clarinets, made the All-State Band and also the Area Band. 13 Before the opening of the new school year the Student Regalian Association relocated its office when they moved from Room 115 to Room 122. Along with the new office came a new set of officers and goals to be achieved. President, john Laurenzi; Vice President, Mark Laurenzi; Treasurer, janine Stefanek; Corresponding Secretary, Amy Korievo; and Recording Secretary, Debbie Carey all worked toward the goal of improving communication between the S.R.A. and the student body. This was accomplished by motivating the homeroom representatives to become more involved, and thus be more effective. To further improve communication, a new policy was initiated that allowed for delegates at large to petition to become members of the student council, the executive body of the S.R.A. Pam Keller became the first delegate at large to attend the meetings as a representative for a group of students. In order to exchange new ideas and broaden their knowledge of student government, Mr. Angilly and john Laurenzi attended the Natiorfdl Student Council Convention in Texas. Later in the year all the officers attended the New jersey State Student Council Convention where they received a Standard of Excellence Award for the fifth consecutive year. During the school year the S.R.A. sponsored an American Highdiving assembly, the production of The Taming of the Shrew, a trampoline assembly, and a General Motors Assembly. On january 25, radio station WABC dedicated a half hour of music to B.H.S. Other activities included the annual Daycare Center Christmas party. Rose Day, and Teach Appreciation Day.

The Concert Choir consisted of forty-seven members. They sponsored a candy sale to provide money to go on an exchange program. During the past year, the concert choir has performed at Chappel Hill, )ohn Hill, Knolls Country Club and during April 5, 6, and 7 and May 4, 5, and 6, the choir had an exchange program with Massachusetts. The group provided two main shows this year, the annual Christmas Concert and the Spring Concert. Mr. Richley felt that this year's group was well balanced, hard working, and camaradie. The choir sang different varieties of music. This year's officers were: President; Billy Peer, Vice President; Bobby Lange, Sec.; Trina Carlson, and Treas.; Cecily Zahorian. 100 American Heritage Students participating in the American Heritage Club, which was formerly called the Bicentennial Committee, has been on many trips this year. Trips include Broadway shows, exploring historical sites and visiting Rockefeller Center during Christmas. The club is headed by President, Libby Bonsiewich, Vice-President, Beth McHugh and Secretary, Rich Carter and Treasurer Nancy Kromka. The club's advisor is Mrs. Schindler. Competitive Math The Math Club is composed of students of all levels of math. Some have had one year of algebra while others have had four years of math including calculus. The team competes against other schools in math relays. They average four competitions a year. Under the direction of Mr. Oonelly, the students learn different techniques in the field of math. 102 The Food Committee is now in its second year at B.H.S. It has since changed its name from the Good Food Committee to the Excellent Food Committee. Chairpersons Harry Boyle and Tom Licciardi have brought about many changes in the cafeteria. They added a variety of yogurt flavors to the menu and sponsored special Christmas, Italian, and Country dinners. Tom and Harry were selected as State delegates and attended the National Food Committee convention in Florida. The attendance has jumped from an average of 3 students last year to 25 students this year. Although the committee is new, it has accomplished much to benefit the students at B.H.S. This year's clean-up committee accomplished a lot of work to help clean the covered walk. Trash and butt cans were placed on various parts of the covered walk and were painted to give a better appearance, along with a mural painted by the Senior door by Debby Doyle, chairperson. Debbie Winner was Co-Chairperson, who put in a lot of work, along with Lynn Bellek, Ingrid Krulder, and many other devoted people who spent their study periods cleaning the walk. A special thanks to the Custodians for their help and the use of the equipment. 103 Career Planning The Morris County Vo-Tech School offers a great opportunity for students to gain the needed knowledge to prepare them for the specialized field they wish to pursue. Morris County schools send students to receive training in areas not in the curriculum of that sending school. John Wach — Basic Horticulture (above) Sue Coleman — Cosmetology Peggy Herlihy, Debbie Gentile and Pat Camps — Childhood Careers (above) Anthony Danzi — Construction Trades Gary Post — Electronic Trade Boonton High School sends 49 students to attend classes such as culinary arts, child care, auto mechanics, photography, computer training, cosmetology, landscaping and commercial advertising. These programs are available to juniors and seniors in a consecutive two year plan. 105 Education Not Just Books Distributive Education is now in its 11th year at B.H.S. Most of the students are involved in sales and service occupations such as: retail clerks, bank tellers, assistant store managers, nursing, and dietary aids. Their work is mostly at local shops, however, some students travel as far as Saddle-brook and Denville to their jobs. Placed in D.E. by their counselors, these students attend school in the morning and leave for work in the afternoon. This program differs from our work release program in that those students in D.E. are supervised on the job by Mr. Prentice and also get academic credit. Laura Bushman, who works at a local bank, has been accepted into the National Honor Society while in D.E.

At the Senior banquet, the most outstanding upperclassmen received an award for his contributions to the club. V.I.C.A. is under the fine supervision of Mr. Adams. This year's chess team, under the supervision of Mr. Korinda, has had quite a successful year. From the expression on Scott Rausenpreis's face, one can see that the game of chess requires hours of concentration and deep thought. The club meets in the school library once a week and competes with various schools in our area. 108 The 1978-79 Wampus was bigger than ever before. During the school year, five issues were available to the student body; each issue was six pages and contained general news, editorials, student opinions, feature articles, and sport coverage. The success of the WAMPUS was the result of a hard working staff and a dedicated advisor Mrs. Malkin, a teacher in the English Department, junior Shelia Picciano was this year's Editor-in-Chief. Mark DuMont, News Editor, always kept after people to have their assignments in before the deadline; co-editors, Sue Magill and Elaine Rafferty, supplied each issue with two pages of fun and fiction. Karen Fulcher, as Sports Editor, kept up-to-date on all sports events and was also a very very sufficient Business Man- ager. Other major positions were held by Steve Semararo as Lay-Out director and Sharon Terpstra, art director, who provided the paper with excellent art work. This year the Wampus started an exchange program with other schools in the area in order to get different ideas for the paper; Sue Snell, a freshman, was Exchange Editor. Right Down the Alley The Bowling Club was organized in October to benefit interested students. The club is divided into ten teams who bowl at the Boonton Lanes. The winning team was paced by anchorman Mike McGuiness and lea-doff Fred Kufta. Ernie Austin and Mike Hercek rounded out the team. Trophies were awarded at their pizza banquet in February. A new league will run from March to june. In May and July, Charlene Bender and Mike McGuiness will participate in a state competition at Edison Lanes. Dorce FHampe, Charlene Bender, and jeanne Ough served as administrative assistants. 110 Think Snow After last year's excellent ski season, 140 anticipating students joined the Ski Club to form the largest club in Boonton High.

The offensive unit, made up of: Grovani Amar, Chris Chappel, Chris White, Vincent Bacchetta, Shaun Fisher, Gena Yasson, Scott Willis and Larry Cho, matured as the season progressed. The stingy defensive squad made up of: Craig Calder, Danny Ernie, Jeff Fitzgerald, Raymond Santiago, Mac Nadel, Ron Whaler, Bob Dirse, and joe Westenberger, limited their opponents to the fewest goals in the history of Boonton soccer. Much of the credit for the low scoring games can be credited to the outstanding goal tending efforts of Robert Sanders and Frank Tagliente. Ball control was established throughout the year by an outstanding group of halfbacks: Norbert Schindler, George Barnhardt, Todd Cox, Andy Dock, Wayne Starvoich, Chris Walsh, David Winter and Celal Andican.

Coach Cuc-chiara predicts the new trend to continue with next year's returning players. The season was previously predicted to be even better, but injuries and inexperience plagued the Bombers. The team was led by the fine performances of captains Bob Pluchin- sky and Eric Kurtz. Coach Cucchiara commended the outstanding efforts given by senior jeff Campo and juniors Gary Montalbano, Ken Post, and john Montera.

This is a must, because X-Coun-try in Morris County is the toughest in the state. Our team took its lumps this year, finishing the season with a 0-9 record. This is poor, granted; but when you consider only two of the nine runners had any experience and that six are freshmen, a losing season was not unexpected. The biggest surprise of the year was junior walk-on Pete Venturini. Pete quickly because the leading scorer for the young harriers. Pete led captain Ricky Carter, soph Wilson Garcia to the finish. In close pursuit were freshmen Ken jones, Roy Porter, Scott Auman, Bob McDonald, Matt Erny, and jack Venturini. The girls had problems fielding a team. At one point in the season, they had 11 girls on their roster. Later they called upon Donna Reeves and Kathy Katzgrau (from field hockey) to avoid a forfeit. Regulars were: Captain loan Donahue, Karen Hey, Marie McMillian, Novia Duhaney and Kathy Gallant. Highlight of the season was a double dual victory over Morris Knolls and Whippany Park.

This was a fitting culmination for a group which never once faltered in its determination and persistence. The final record for the season was 10 wins and 3 losses. The team received a number of surprises from its underclassmen. Anne Petonak, a sophomore, danced to the melody of Hotel California and received high scores on her routine. Gail Spies, Diane Paul, and Barbara Spender performed sound runs on the beam, some of which included original balancing tricks. Tracy Banks, a third-year gymnast, proved to be a tough competitor on the vaulting horse, and freshman Doreen Amari gave promising hints of success in her bar routines. Denise Amari, Karen Krawiec, and Sheri Speling, the most heralded members of the team, each qualified for the state sectionals and placed third as a team.

Lakes, a highly ranked team. Under the offensive power of senior tri-captain Warren Hinchman, who averaged 14.3 ppg, the team continued to roll to a 7-2 record midway through the season. However, illness and injury afflicted the Bombers the rest of the way as they finished the season with 9 wins and 11 losses. Senior tri-captain Terry Reese, before suffering ankle and arm injuries, was an outstanding all-around player. Senior Ed Edwards, the third captain, led the backcourt attack along with junior john Wach. Rebounding chores were placed on the shoulders of senior Alan Noble, who pulled down an average of 5 a game, senior Bruce Lemely, and junior Kyle Gunderson, who filled in off the bench.

The boy's J.V. basketball team concluded their 1978-79 season with an outstanding season record of 17 wins and 3 losses. Among their most noteworthy accomplishments were a nine game winning streak, finishing with the best J.V. record ever and finishing first in the conference with 12 wins and 1 loss. Most of their success was due to a tenacious defense that allowed less than 38 points per game. |im Palazzo led the team in scoring averaging 15 points per game while Doug Melenkevitz was the team's leading rebounder. Best 9eason Ever 139 Frosh Share Title A successful season for the Bomber freshmen was capped by a victory over West Morris which clenched a tie for the Hills division championship with a record of 9 wins and 3 losses. The team improved steadily over the season and at one point won 9 of 10 games. Led by Eric Wekilsky, Steve Shinol, and Chad Capper, the boys finished the season with a 12 and 8 record, a berth in the Morris County Tournament, and the promise of exciting winter evenings in the years to come. Mark Bellini Doug Winner Voelkner Paces J.V. Girls Debbie Voelkner Freshman Debbie Voelkner averaged an astounding 18.2 ppg to propel the j.V. Bombers to a 13-7 season record. The girls, coached by Miss Pat LaRose, exhibited promising talent for future varsity play. The captains of the squad were sophomore Roberta Custer and freshman Kathy Gallant. The forward positions were filled by two freshmen, Donna Reeves and Belinda Ludwig. Voelkner connected a great bulk of her points from the left wing and from assists from Gallant and Custer on the fast break. Mary Ann Kelly did a fine job subbing at the point guard position. Other members of the team included Tracy Pace, Kathy Katzgrau, Zehra Ahmede, Carol Bognar, and Stacy Pesynski. Belinda 1 udwig (shooting) Roberta Custer 141 142 Claire Sacuk (above) Kathy Post (top right) Debbie Giordano (right) State Grown to Boonton Girls Basketball To say that the girls varsity basketball team had a good season would be a major understatement. A record of 23-4, which included 2nd place in the conference, 2nd place in the county, and the first state championship any Boonton basketball team ever won, is to be considered phenomenal. The girls, coached by John Vnenchak, won the North jersey Group 2, Section 2 crown when they defeated a strong Union Catholic team in overtime, 52-49. Senior co-captain Claire Sacuk led the team in scoring with an average of 16 ppg and ended her career as the top scorer for girls basketball and the second all time leading scorer in Boonton history with 919 points. Along with her ball handling expertise, junior point guard Debbie Giordano tossed in 8.9 ppg. She was joined in the backcourt by senior cocaptain Kathy Post, who always found the open person on the court as indicated by her 7.2 assists a game. In the frontcourt junior Lynn Fitzgerald hit the boards with sophomore Sue Hinchman and they averaged 9.3 and 8.3 rebounds respectively. Juniors Joan Donahue, Cathleen and Colleen Reynolds, and sophomores Annette Greshko, Debbie Carey and Darcy Chesnut saw a lot of playing time and gained valuable experience. If a label was to be placed on the team, it would read Winners . The girls never gave up even when they had a 15 game winning streak, the longest ever by Boonton, snapped by arch rival Hanover Park. Coach Vnenchak instilled the idea of not giving up to the team and they never once put their heads down and quit, although it would have been easy to do so. Four years ago, the girls team played in empty gymnasiums. In the semi-finals of the state tournament, a capacity crowd saw a hard fought game in which the Bombers lost 40-37. The noise from the fans spoke for itself; the school was proud of the team and girls could be too. Joan Donohue (above) Lynn Fitzgerald (above) Frosh Join J.V. Wrestlers )oc DiBonaventura (above) Mike Homeijer (right) This year, an extra load was placed on the shoulders of fledgling wrestlers.

Other members with winning records included sophomore Gordon Dixon (9-2-1), junior Steve Petrowski (9-1), freshman Mike Homeijer (7-3), freshman Titsiano DiBonaventura (7-4), and junior Kevin Kerr (6-4).

Assisting Mr. Robert Kane are Mr. Roland Vitaletti, Mr. Michael Renaldo as vice-principals in charge of curriculum; and in charge of discipline is vice principal, Mr. William Hino. Mr. Renaldo, formerly responsible for discipline, is now area supervisor for the Business, Social Studies, Physical Education, Industrial Arts and Special Areas Departments. Mr. Hino, our new disciplinarian, previously taught social studies. Mr. Hino was selected for his new position from more than eighty applicants interviewed. The new disciplinarian says he enjoys reaching out and working with people, states: ”1 like the challenges”. Mr. Vitaletti is supervisor for the Math, Science, English, Foreign Language, Special Education and the Guidance Departments. Mr. Vitaletti previously served as director of Guidance and headed the Child Study Team. Mr. Robert Kane, Principal Mrs. Muriel Huffert Miss Dena Bonanm 192 Mr. Michael Renaldo Dr. W Raymond Grogan, Superintendent Mr. William Hino Mr. Roland Vitalett Mrs. Barbara Di Vite Mrs. Elizabeth Edelhauser Mrs. Jean Caragme 193 Mr Robert Fosket Mrs. Olga Mitchko Mr. David DuPre 194 A Helping Hand To err is human, to really foul things up requires a computer. The guidance counselors use this statement as a motto that they continually try to remedy. They can always be depended upon to aid the students in schedule changes, course selections and the usual flock of frenzied questions which are doled out by students. Not only does the guidance department work with the students during the school year, but many tedious hours are spent during the summer months, ironing out details for the up coming year. The main goal of the guidance people is to prepare each individual in the field of their selected career, whether it be college prep, business or vocational. Additional special assistance for special people is given by newcomer, Mrs. Judy Kramer and Mrs. Elaine Bakalian. 195 The Arts The Arts give students the chance to demonstrate their talents in areas other than academic. Art, music and home economics classes break the routine of the day and afford the students a time for personal enjoyment. This year the music department is made up of both the old and the new. Mr. Paul Richley, a teacher at BHS for the past eighteen years, is conductor of the girl's chorus and the concert choir. The concert choir has performed at john Hill, the Knoll Country Club, Drew Chemical and Chapel Hill School. A new voice was heard in the music department this year. Mr. Joseph Szabo conducts both the marching band and the concert bands. The concert band and the choir annually present two eveings of music: Prelude to Christmas and Spring Fever. The bands have participated in numerous competitions this year. (See pages 86-87 for more details). This fall Mr. Horton's Art Major students were asked by the Chamber of Commerce to decorate trash cans in the community. Students who diligently were Robyn Lazar, Kim Van Duyne, Rosalie Nemerovich, Cindy Oldroyd, Dawn DeTorrice, Patti Gin-der and Carol Edelhouser. Once again Mrs. Campbell had her Drawing classes paint merchants' windows on Main Street as a part of the Halloween festivities. The first place winners this year were Karen Burke and Ann Pfreundschud. The Home Economics department still offers the basic cooking and sewing but because of greater social demands courses such as: Interior Design, Personal Survival and Tailoring have been added to the curriculum. The Library offers all students a quiet atmosphere for reading and studying. It is also open to classes for researching, special projects and reports. The librarians are always willing to help students with their research.

The Business Department concerns itself with satisfying the needs of the job oriented students. Among the courses available to the students are typing, steno, office machines, business law and accounting. To prepare students for the outside business world, the department offers two work-experience programs; one of which is COE, this allows students to attend school and work in offices, each for half a day. Another choice is DE, which enables students to work part time in retail stores. This year the Business Department wishes to add a new course to its offerings: Word Processing. The course would instruct handling of written and spoken words in both business and industry. This course would update the Business Curricula. Mrs. Luella Molinaro Mr. Andrew Korinda (above) Miss Barbara Goj Ms. Jane Ginder (above) Mr. Stephen Christie 198 Donna Van Koppen Mr Lester Prentice Mrs. Charlotte Barnes 199 Required, but Also Enjoyable The English Department offers our students an opportunity to express themselves as individuals in many different ways. The department possesses a quality unlike that of any other department at BHS — Versatility. Following the success of last year's policy to require sophomores to take one year of American Literature, the English Department has now combined the freshman courses. Introduction to Literature and Basic Communications, into one, full year course. This new course is called Composition Literature. Other new additions in the Department are teacher Mr. Bellini and the course Drama Workshop. There are three major awards given to outstanding seniors in English. One is the Dagmar M.

In addition to learning to speak the language, students are also taught the cultural aspects of the country. Information was also presented in the form of field trips. Both Mrs. Elo-vitz's French class and Mrs. Schott's Spanish class visited restaurants serving dishes native to their countries. Mr. Cucchiara chose to take his Italian class to New York City to see an Italian film entitled “Pane Ciocco-late (Bread and Chocolate), this past February. Miss Epstein's German class presented a puppet show to the other language groups. Norbert Schindler, Lois Bredesen, Ellen Albig and Ozay Mamur (left) were the puppeteers. The advanced French and Italian classes introduced interesed John Hill students to their foreign language. This project helped the language student gain experience in the field of teaching. It also allowed them to extend their services to the elementary school teachers. The department also sponsored a trip to Spain over the Easter vacation. The group spent nine days touring the scenic countryside. 203 Girls Welcomed Into Vocational Courses Students are given the opportunity to explore and gain experience in the vocational field of their choice in our Industrial Arts Department. The classes offered to the students include: auto, wood, electrical and metal shops, graphic arts and all levels of drafting and design. A goal of the department faculty is to gain the interest of girls to create a co-education atmosphere. Students in the metal shop have a variety of equipment which introduces: welding, machine shop practices, smelting and wrought iron techniques. Auto mechanics enables beginning students to work on elementary tasks such as: Tire repairs, oil changes and lubrications. In the case of the advanced class, under the foreman-ship of Bruce Brantner, students are rebuilding a 1969 V8 Pontiac engine. Freshman Arthur Bohon has showed his electrical talents and experience by putting together a complicated series of electrical timers, these timers will be used by fellow students within the graphic arts department and in the photography classes.

Students are required to take two years of math, however many choose to continue with more advanced math courses. A new policy this year is to place advanced students in honors courses. The Rensselaer Polytechnical Institute award is given to the most promising math and science student in the Junior class. In April, select seniors took a standardized math exam to compete for the Math Association Award which is given out at the Senior banquet. At press time John Lau-renzi, Anne Picciano, Pat Sanders and Janine Stefanak are possible candidates. The Math Team started last year under the direction of Mr. Backus, this year Mr. Donnelly has taken over the position. The team, consisting of ten students from different math backgrounds, compete in team relays and as a group. 207 Physical, Driver's Education The Physical Education program is a co-ed venture for all students. Underclassmen are required to have one marking period in health class. Students who are of the legal age for a driving permit (16 years old) are required to take one marking period of Driver's Education. Actual driving experience is offered through a 6 hour driving instruction course in a driver education car. Mr. Castallano, has replaced Mr. LoRusso as the Driver Education teacher. At the end of each marking period, the State written exam is given to all students in Driver's Education. juniors and Seniors have their choice as to which gym activity they would like to participate in, while Freshmen and Sophomores do not. Each marking period the selections change. They range from archery to football, through and including: slim-nastics, speedball, rollerskating, fris-bee, tennis, dance and basketball. Student's grades are based upon their skills in the activity, citizenship, absenteeism and class participation. This year's department head is Mr. David Gardner. Athletic Director: Mr. Richard Rizk (above) Mr. Joe Molitoris (above; Mrs. Dorothy Lindsay (below) Mrs. Elizabeth Malayter (right) 208 209 Students Represent BHS at College Program The Science Department offers many areas in which students may develop their ideas on an individual basis. After preliminary introduction to the scope of biological study, each student is given an opportunity to pursue a topic of his own choice to study and research. When completed, highlights of the projects are presented to other students in the class. Advanced Biology students will prepare abstracts of their work, which, when assembled, will be displayed at the 15th annual BHS Topics in Biology. BHS will be represented at the N) Science Symposium at Fair-leigh Dickinson University and at a Science Program at St. Elizabeth's College by Sharon Terpstra, Pam Keller, Karen Fulcher, and Joan Donohue.

Students may choose from such courses as: World War II, Economics, World Geography, Sociology and Contemporary Living. Psychology is another popular elective in which students enjoy analyzing their peers both inside and outside of class. Most electives form a basic introduction for courses taken in college relating to a specific field or use for everyday life. Mrs. Kacur and Mr. Berryman's US History II classes staged debates for our US Senate race. The students devised slogans, painted posters and served as the audience in the mock debates. Representing the Senatorial candidates: Jeffrey Bell and Bill Bradley, were Dave Polizzi, Rich Pepe, jean Ough and Mark Cerbo. The results of the school election was the same as the state election: BRADLEY (NY Knick fans remember him) was victorious!!! 213 More Familiar Faces John Salsberg (above) P. Conn and M.

The offense was generated by attack-man Mickey Boland who established two assist records while leading the team in scoring. Co-captain Boland was chosen All State for averaging 4.1 points per game. Juniors Mai Ringlieb and Kevin Oxley combined for 30 goals while Fred Licciardi and Doug Melenkevitz each added to goal totals. The first midfields for the Bombers, because of their stupendous play as a unit, were selected Honorable Mention All State. The midfield consisted of senior Cocaptain Don DiVite and Juniors Jerry Jacob and Joe Hogh. Jacob had a great season in registering 27 goals, while DiVite and Hogh concluded the year with 25 points each. DiVite finished his three year varsity career by falling short of the middle career assist record. Britt Dayton, Joe Makfinsky, Joe Zanone, Greg Melenkevitz and Tim Doherty all scored key goals in major contests. lor Hogh (above) Cary Reuben (below) ■J i 1 ‘Mill. ■k J5. v,Vw ' n � vL v hv wv Sp Mk •% ( miss® MM 230 Cary, Don and Mickey First Row: F.

The team batting average as a whole increased partially due to the purchase of the pitching machine.

Coached by Mrs. Pascarella and led by captains Helen Todd and Marianne Murray, the girls had a 5 and 7 conference record. This year was the first time the team beat Parsippany, the team in the county. They scored the most runs against Mt. Olive, beating them 20-8. High batting average, .475, was held by Lynn Wahler, who also had the most RBI's. Helen Todd had a 94% fielding average, while sophomore pitcher Donna Sasso struck out 19 batters in six games. The best base burglar, who also scored the most runs, was Marianne Murray. The sweet taste of victory should encourage the women to an even greater performance next season. Senior Week Mary Pfreundschuh (above) Dawn Meola (below) Wendy Custer Les Scorza inn - - AND GOLF CLUB DOWNINGTOWN AND UNBELIEVABLE SOUND OF MUSIC 52 ND WK As graduation time grew nearer, we realized that our four years at BHS were about over. Although the days were over the memories we all have will never be forgotten. One of fondest recollections was on May 26, 1978. One hundred and five couples spent the evening at the prom. Entitled Precious and Few, the formal dinner dance took place from 8:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m. at the Westmount Country Club in West Paterson. Two weeks later, the Senior class went to the Downingtown Inn (Penn.). Tennis, golf, swimming, and horseback riding filled the day. The finality of it all hit us on Thursday, June 15 when the Senior class as a whole went to the Zeris Inn for the Senior Banquet. Many awards were presented to our outstanding classmates. We all thought graduation practice would never end. The class of 1978 graduated on June 18, only then we realized everything was worthwhile. The moment may be temporary but the memory is forever. 236 71 “The Prom It was quarter to six I was as nervous as could be I couldn't stop wondering What you'd think of me Your pants were too short My dress was too long You hated your hair What else could go wrong People took our pictures Till we were blue in the face There seemed to be cameras All over the place We finally made it All safe and sound And we walked inside In tuxes and gowns The food was great The place was grand The girls got to sit The guys had to stand The band was good Could've danced all night After all that practice We finally did it right We had to remind them Who'd think they'd forget The souvenir for the night The garters they get Now that it's over The prom is all through The memories we have Are precious and few By Lori Cetti and Lori Bartlett Chris Chappel Tim Doyle and Jim Post (co-captain) Senior Captain Al Scerbo The boy's track team improved its record to one win and five losses in the new conference.

He also scored in the 100, 220, and 440 yard dashes. The Dalt-ner brothers, Carl and Pete, were also assets to the team. Together they scored in the 120 high hurdles and the 330 intermediate hurdles. Individually, Carl scored in the high jump and Pete gained points in the long jump, each acquired personal best in their jumping event. The weight team's, senior, Harry Bartch tallied points in the shot and discus. Sophomore Tom Bundz came on strong toward the end of the season in the discus, shot and javelin, winning first place in the javelin the last meet of the season. The middle distance team was led by senior Kyle Tag who had his ups and downs throughout the season. Kyle scored in the mile run and 880 along with senior Jim Post. In the distance runs, freshman Chris Chappel broke the freshman mile and two mile records in earning his varsity letter. His times were 5:03.1 for the mile and 10:42.8 for the two mile.
