HOUSEMASTERS MR. CHRIS ARGYS Brockton High School is composed of four unique aca- demic-buildings as a part of the house plan. Each build- ing is placed under the supervision of a Housemaster who is responsible for all activities and events in that building. Dr. Appling, as Housemaster in the Yellow Building, is responsible for both the students and staff and attempts to insure a smooth course. She tries to become acquainted with as many Yellow House stu- dents as possible. She is proud of students who excel academically, participate in sports events and are active in club and student government. Dr. Appling recognizes the Class of 1983 as abounding with enthusiasm. There is a very positive attitude on the part of students with many members of this class becoming involved. School spirit seems to have soared to a new peak. Dr. Appling encourages school spirit and a pride in Brockton High Schoolg it is essential compan- ion to the learning format. Brockton High has tried to prepare members of the Class of 1983 for what they may encounter in the future. Dr. Appling recommends that the students be multifa- ceted in exploration of their fields of endeavor. Broaden the choices of career opportunities. In closing, she would like to advise the Class of 1983 -- It is important to use all of your attributes in work- ing to the best of your ability to achieve your high- The Azure buildings students share a special pride in their building that arises from their housemas- ter, Mr. Argys. He has the ability to strongly unify the student body and make them proud that they're not just part of Brockton High School, but part of the Azure House. The housemasters' job includes the management of student records, schedules, teachers, academic and personal problems, and general responsibility for keeping the individual houses of the complex run- ning smoothly. With his hands seemingly full of administrative tasks, Mr. Argys manages to devote time and attention to each student that wishes it. To prevent students from feeling like a number, Mr. Argys says, I try to let them know someone cares, to encourage love for the Azure building, and love for themselves. I try to make them so proud that they burst at the seams. His zeal is apparent when he speaks of his job. I love this job in the Azure building at Brockton High and I wouldn't want to do it anywhere but here. He feels that the Class of '83 will be able to be counted in society. As graduation approaches, Mr. Argys thinks that the class has been prepared to deal with life, and he hopes that through the exper- iences at Brockton High School, the students have become better human beings. He advises the Class of '83, Face the world and try to make it a better place. Be what you are, try to do what you think is right, and things will be all right. Gail Greenblatt est potential.

1 HOUSEMASTERS The responsibilities of a Housemaster at Brockton High School are many. They include the overall management of one quarter of the school, the su- pervision of the house faculty and the provision of the instructional leadership. The man who does all this and more in the Green House is Dr. Thomas Cibotti. Dr. Cibotti feels that his main goal is to service the students in any way he can. He wants to be sure that all students get their educational share at Brockton High. He thinks that share is an abundant one. He added to this by saying, The students are offered a tre- mendous educational opportunity here. They have a diversified curriculum along with a uniquely trained staff. It is up to them whether they take advantage of these offerings. Dr. Cibotti believes that the Class of 1983 has taken advantage of the many opportunities at Brockton High and is pre- pared for future endeavors. Supporting this state- ment is the national as well as local upswing of the S.A.T.'s in 1982. Dr. Cibotti offers this advice to the Class of 1983, Take whatever you have gathered here for the last four years and utilize it throughout your life. Elizabeth Cook MR. MARIO DIMARZO, RED HOUSE DR. THOMAS CIBOTTI, GREEN HOUSE Mario DiMarzo has been with the Brockton School De- partment since 1958. He started his career as a teacher and assistant football coach. After eleven years of teaching he became Assistant Housemaster of the Azure building. In 1971, Mr. DiMarzo left his position to assume that of the Housemaster of the Red building. Over the past twelve years, Mr. DiMarzo has endeav- ored to increase the pride and spirit of the Red House towards both itself and B.H.S. Mr. DiMarzo is proud and very pleased with the Red building. It has a fine faculty, staff, and students. He's proud of the good spirit that the Red House exhibits, and candidly admits that the Red House really is the best. As the Class of 1983 departs from its high school career, Mr. DiMarzo would like to recognize the Red House students for their academic and social involvement with the school. He feels that they have made an appreciable contribution to the House and school spirit through their involvement with school government, athletics, and other school functions. He also states that he would like each senior to realize that it is their responsibility to exert their very best effort towards excellence, be- cause no one can fault them for trying hard. Trying to do your best is everything. In closing, Mr. DiMarzo wishes the Class of 1983 happi- ness and success and he hopes that the administration and faculty have provided the graduates with the prep- aration needed to succeed.

The Assistant Housemaster in each building is responsible for insuring that both peace and tranquility reign throughout the house. Each building in Brockton High School may be subjected to problems or dilemmas. It is through the harmo- nious interaction of the students and faculty that many of these difficulties are resolved or avoided. Mr. Zoino, the Assistant Housemaster in the Green Building, defines his responsibilities, to administer to the needs of the Green House. More specifically, Mr. Zoino handles student problems and attendance, encourages student morale, evalu- ates the staff, re- views the curricu- lum, and super- vises all activities in t h e G r e e n House. Mr. Zoino has always pro- vided the Green House with a well run administration. Mr. Zoino is a man who is always wil- ing to listen to a problem, either academic or per- sonal. He has be- come friends with many in the class of 1983 and would like to offer this ad- vice: Be honest with yourself and always strive for those kinds of things that will benefit your fellow man and thereby benefit yourself. Mary E. Ronan MR. RICHARD ZOINO GREEN HOUSE In the Azure build- ing, Mr. Puliafico is the Assistant Hou- semaster. He han- dles all of the disci- pline and atten- dance in the House. Included in his re- sponsibilities is helping students and faculty with problems they may have in any area. CHARLES PULIAFICO AZURE BUILDING He shares the pride in Brockton High School with the other administrators, recognizing the school as the best educa- tional institution in the area. He is pleased with the students and notes that most are here for the reasons intended. They make the school what it is, and I take my hat off to them. Advising the Class of 1983 for life and its challenges, Mr. Puliafico says, Try to get as much as possible from everyth- ing you do. Don't do anything haphazardly, you'll only hurt yourself in the long run. Anything that's worth doing is worth doing right, so always try as hard as you possibly can. Gail Greenblatt 22 ASSISTANT HOUSEMASTERS Mr. Cardone is serving his seventh year as the Assistant Housemaster in the Red Building. He is responsible for discipline and attendance in the Red House, involving sus-I pension and detention when necessary. He serves to,' identify and solve problems that students may have,- whether they be academic, social, or family difficulties . Mr. Cardone enjoys his job because it enables him to help, more students than a teaching position would. There is more time for him to remediate problems. He feels his? position is especially satisfying when he sees students2 making wise decisions about their lives, both in schooll and outside ofl' i v i school.

Surely the ex- periences he has e n c o u n t e r e d have taught him many things, in- cluding the disci- pline and deter- mination needed to keep a House, which consists of both students and faculty, well run. The duties of the Assistant Housemaster are many. Mr. Bussolari states that his responsibilities deal mostly with discipline and class as well as school attendance. Mr. Bussolari strongly believes that Brockton High School is the best high school in the country. He knows that B.H.S. has many academic offerings and opportunities. Mr. Bussolari has always been accessible to any student wishing to discuss a problem or dilema.
