Dallas, Texas 75221 Edison, N.J. 08837 Seniors 16 3 The thought of four years passing right by us without our realizing it is a scary one. Remember Freshmen Orientation — in September of '84 — it seems like yesterday. Suddenly there were a zillion new people to meet, and a huge new school to find our way around. Some of us still can't Find room 228! From that very First day all we ever wanted was to be seniors . It seemed so very far away; we thought we'd die wait- ing. The anticipation grew as we progressed through sophomore and jun- ior year. And then in a flash, it came ... and went. Learning and growing up to- gether in these vital years have made us special to each other. Will you ever for- get the quiet girl in English class who always had an extra pen? Or the boy who never shut up and always managed to sit right behind you? Precious mem- ories will last forever; others will soon fade; some will haunt you in your sleep. Memories, reinforced by facts and im- ages looking back at you from these pages, won't let you forget how we came to be what we are. September '84 — last freshman dass that had to stand and sing the Alma Mater at the Pep Rally. The J.V. Basketball Cheering Squad of '85: Kim Rosa, Chris Hollenbach, Debbie McClean, Trad Graf, and Tracy Scherer. Nicole Langbein swings for a homerun. Maria Delcorso and Elana Seifert chat in the band hallway after school. 4 Prologue Donna DiLaura and Nicole Langbein cheered on the wrestling team. Barbara Timmerman has been a loyal sax player since freshman year. The photographer shocked Michelle Dauemheim. Tracy Bastante, Cindy Solowsky, and Debbie Bleib- treu showed off the '84 styles. Lunch was the high point of Matt's day. In-depth chemistry discussion by Pam Salvemini, Kira Struble, Janey Pearson, Lisa Hannemann, and Maria Delcorso. Dawn Weland gave it her all at the freshman elections. Sean Mabey was caught in action at his freshman baseball game. Prologue 5 In trying to define who we are, we find that we defy definition. There is no such thing as a typical Butler student. Every student at Butler High School has his or her own identity and is unique in a special way. We have outstanding scholars who will go to distinguished uni- versities and still others who will barely saueak through BHS. Some of our students have their futures carefully planned out; others are wandering around wondering what they'll ao after high school; still others live for the present and just don't care what they will be doing this time next year. Some of our athletes take sports seriously; others just play for the fun and the exercise. The halls of BHS echo with the sounds of concert- caliber musicians who find something in common with those who play solely for themselves. We perform with the marching band and the rock bands, with the choir or in the shower. Work is part of school for the kids at Tech and in the co-op programs. For others it is an after-school activity. Our jobs range from pumping gas to assisting lawyers to selling clothes to working the supermarket register. Money burns a hole in some pockets, but otners are saving for the long-term, like college or that much desired car. Speaking of modes of transportation, Butler's students arrive at school in many different ways. Some get their daily exercise by walking while others get up early to catch the bus or a riae from mom or dad. Some students are fortunate enough to have their own means of transportation. No, not all students have cars! But did you ever look in the courtyard at the bike rack or alongside the building at the mopeds? Parked along the road are a variety of cars. Be it an old clunker or a new sports car, the agony of looking for a parking spot each day is the same! There is no Butler identity. There are fewrer than 200 seniors, fewer than 700 students all together — and yet, we are truly a reflection of the diversity of human nature. If you look around, you can find a friend here — there is something for everyone. Most of us have forged friendships that will last a lifetime — a special gift from BHS. 6 Prologue Steve Groseibl and Cindy Solowsky share a free moment. The old Bulldog departs For his well-earned retirement, replaced by the new symbol otBHb. Wow, is that class excitine, Janey? Kristina Schmidt goes airborne at the pep rally. Candy, anyone? Dawn Weland asks the most common question at BHS. ■). '♦ . 1 ! 1 i'' i i I Prologue 7 Three spirited seniors take a moment to pose with our new mascot. When Kira Struble makes it to the White House, this picture will be worth a fortune Chris Silano shows his spirit and his sculpture in the band room. The football team gets psyched up for what they hope will be a winning season. 8 Prologue o r V Dennis Caputo takes time out to enjoy doing his latch hook. Presenting flowers to Mrs. Borgman is Debbie McClean, cheerleading captain. Senior year is a time for close friends like Dana Schimpf and Nicole Langbein. Prologue 9 SENIORS !!! 10 Class A1988 ♦ ♦ ♦ we were , -freshmen, senior- --fiood seemed like paradise. After all, senior year is a year to relax and to have fun. Seniors have easy schedules with lots of studies, and spend their days lounging out to the tune of Mr. Belvedere and I Love Lufy ' reruns, right? Wrong! Many students find that their classes have only got- ten harder, and on top of regular school work there are college ap- plication and financial aid form deadlines to meet,Seniors holding leadership roles find that school activities take up more time than ever before, leaving them exhausted with the feeling ffiat June will never come. To others, the last year of high school is one of restlessness. After all,-THe world is out there waiting, and these students wonder-impatiently,, When can I get on with my life?? It goes without saying, of course, that senior year does have its sunny side-the bonds of friendship are stronger, the good times are great, and there is time out to watch-those I Love Lucy reruns Senior year is something to savor, even though we can'tw it'fo graduate... . or can we?-- P. 12: Lisa Hannemann, Jim Losee, and Cigdem Yuksel wonder when the notes will end. Leigh Sabo (somehow) finds a quiet place to study. P. 13: Four good friends-Kenny Majury, Kevin Holden, Roman Graure, and Sean Mabey. Janey Pearson shows those pearly whites. The Senior Lounge is a great place to get a little closer. Band Seniors pose in front of Chris's Krush Kinnelon Creation (ask Chris Silano for details).

Choir has tradition- ally been involved in serving not only the school but the community as well. Singing is obviously a popular pas- time for at least 10% of the student body is usually involved. This year was no exception. During the Thanks- giving season, members of the United Methodist Church were treated to renditions of “Praise Ye the Lord and “Every Valley as part of the ecu- menical service. Less than three weeks later strains of “Christmas Cheer and Carol of the Bells filled Willowbrook Mall as shoppers were entertained from the center court. Christmas spirit was assured to those who attended the Winter Concert, a must-see (or must-hear) holiday event. It was A Special Night es- pecially for Dawn Weland whose solo highlighted the evening. As alumni flocked to the stage, the audience pre- pared for the traditional finale, the Hallelujah Chorus. All agreed it was a concert to remember. 58 Student Life P. 58: The choir sings sweetly at the annual Tree Lighting Ceremony in Butler Park.

It is an organ- ization through which students can prac- tice their leadership and organizational skills while providing services and fun for the school community. Student Council was able to plan and hold a variety of events, among them the fall and spring pep rallies, the Senior Cit- izens' Christmas Party, the Harvest Ball, the Freshman Social, and the talent show. Student Council holds fund- raisers year round, including their an- nual candy-cane and carnation sales. In addition to providing the council activity funds, these two sales also let students send a token of their affection to other students. This year's Student Council went be- yond its usual roles of organizing ac- tivities and elections. Certain members met with Mr. D. with student grievances. Because of the Council's efforts, the stu- dent body was promised benches and picnic tables for the courtyard and stu- dents were permitted to bring alumni as dates to the Harvest Ball. In this and other ways Student council continued its role as voice of the people. 4� Service with a smile — Cheryl Hergert, Kris Schmidt, John Awad, and Mike Logan work the refreshment stand at a Butler football game.

Lm Butler High was an exciting place to be the night of December 3rd. This was the evening the Student Council sponsored their annual Senior Citizens' Christmas party which fea- tured food and fun for community seniors. Over the course of the evening, a Chinese auction was held; dinner was served; enter- tainment was provided by the Good-As-Gold singers; and Santa made his annual appear- ance. Some of the lucky senior citizens won tick- ets to see BHS's fifth annual class play com- petition held later on the same evening. This event is always enjoyable and well attended. This year the freshman class surprised cast and crowd when they captured the Best Play award with their enchanting “Modem Day Cinderella. Freshman Gayle Baraskas re- ceived the award for Best Actress. The soph- omore rendition of “Bosom Buddies helped Anthony Rubolotta win the Best Costume award. The junior class tried something dif- ferent — a monologue written and performed by Tara Rush. The senior class finished the night off with two plays Tinarella and Gibberish , but not before Janey Pearson and Louise Dibble walked away with the Best Spe- ciality Act award for their hilarious portrayal of two little brats who were getting Nuttin' for Christmas. It was a night of fun and surprises. P. 68: Freshmen rejoice in being the first Freshman Class ever to win the Play Competition.

By the time some students have reached their senior year at B.H.S., they find they may want or need a digression from the eight period school day they have had since their freshman year. Such students have the opportunity to par- ticipate in one of B.H.S.'s four Coop- erative Education Programs: Coopera- tive Industrial Education, Cooperative Home Economics, Cooperative Office Education, and Cooperative Marketing Education. Participating students attend school in the morning and work in the afternoon under the supervision of the employer and the school. The co-op pro- grams also involve a related class that meets daily. These out-of-school programs provide valuable experience in the business world as well as friends needed to fi- nance further education and the varied expenses of senior year. These programs are yet another way Butler High School strives to meet the unique and individual needs of its stu- dents.

There's a whole other educational world available to Butler High School students at the Morris County Vocational School located in Denville. About fifty of BHS's students participate in the co-operative program between Butler High and Morris County Vo-Tech, taking basic state-required academic courses at Butler and the technical part of the program in Denville. This is the first year underclassmen were part of the program. Morris County Vo-Tech offers outstanding facilities that provide students with the hands-on training they need for success. After com- pleting the program some students go on to additional schooling in their field, but some areas, such as Cosmetology, actually offer a two year licensing program. Other areas such as Auto Mechanics guarantee job placement upon completion. When Nugget '88 visited Morris County Vocational School, we found Butler students involved in courses ranging from Small Animal Care to Computers to Welding. Everywhere the students were enthusiastic and engrossed in their work. That's my little boy, Harry,” smiled Donna Mazzaro indicating a young child where we found her in Child Related Careers. Sure beats high school! seemed to be the general consensus to those cooking up a storm in Culinary Arts. The students we found in Commercial Art were impressed by the intensity you just don't get at the high school. The Co-op program between Butler High School and Morris County Vo-Tech is a true service to those students whose preference might not be academics. It offers them' a choice with a future.

For the thirteen French students from BHS, that question was a common one from No- vember 6th to the 16th, the ten days they spent overseas as part of this year's exchange program between Butler, New Jersey and our sister city, Colmar, France. The Butler stu- dents who took part in this program were Fabienne Chalupt, Donielle DiLuzio, Cheryl Dubuque, Dara Fleming, Jeanellen Heacook, Monique and Michelle Hiltebrand, Jamie Moley, Aimee Parmenter, Heather Pfiel, Kim Rosa, Amy Roush, and Lara Scarmazzo. The Butler students, along with chaperones Mr. and Mrs. deWaal, spent their first weekend getting acquainted with their host families. The following week, they attended class- es with their French peers at the Bartholdi High School and visited historical and cultural landmarks within the town. On Armistice Day (the day marking the end of World War I for the French), the French students had no school, so they hosted a day trip to Germany. For the second part of their European adventure, the students visited Paris, where they toured the eight- hundred-year-old Cathedral de Notre Dame, the Eiffel Tow- er, the Musee' d'Orsay's Impressionist painting collection, and the famous Champs Elysees. Although the students w'ere happy to return to the U.S., they realized that it was a unique educational experience and a treasured memory. They looked forward to renewing the friendships they had forged when the Colmar students visited Butler in the spring. Student Life 75 Applying what we learn ®i©a Butler High's chapter of the Distributive Ed- ucation Clubs of America provides students with many exciting opportunities in addition to teaching its delegates what they'll need to know in order to succeed in the business world. Last spring Butler marketing students made it all the way to the National DECA Com- petition in New Orleans. According to His- torian reporter Leigh Sabo, We missed the prom because of it, but it was so awesome I'd miss it all over again to go to the Nationals again! This year BHS students from the U.S and Canada competed in the North Atlantic Regional DECA Conference in Toronto, Can- ada. The students toured the city, visited the CNN Tower, and attended marketing work- shops. They also had a super time attending mass media shows, dances, and meeting new friends. On December 8th, DECA, along with mem- bers of the business class, visited NYC for its annual Christmas trip. In the city, the students studied the many levels of retail stores and compared merchandise displays and other marketing techniques while seeing some of the world's most famous stores. In January, Butler's marketing club partic- ipated in the Northern Regional DECA Con- ference at the county College of Morris. BHS students competed against club members from other schools in role playing and diorama display. State finalists include Louise Dibble, Scott Johnson, and Annmarie Taggart in the area of advertising and display services, Tanya Brozowski, Lisa O'Lear, and Tracy Scherer in the area of apparel and accessories marketing, Monique Hiltebrand and Lou Vento in finance and credit services, Mike lovino.

Her visit to BHS was arranged by a former Butler student, Mario Biazzo, who had met Ms. Hartley while pursuing his acting career in New York City. Mariette Hartley spoke to the students about two serious teenage problems — drunk driving and suicide. She related some painful experiences of her own and then got the students to open up and share their own feelings on the subjects. After- wards, she remained to sign autographs. It was an exciting day for Butler High School. Ms. Hartley left students with an important message: One person can make a difference and each and every one of you count.

Yet for every goodbye, a hello follows. This year Butler High School bid farewell to Mr. Joseph DiPasquale who had served the school for nineteen years as guidance counselor, vice-principal and principal. His was a familiar face not only in the hallways when school was in session, but also at after-school events especially the football games for which he served as announcer. He cajoled, warned, rewarded, pun- ished and praised as only a principal who genuinely likes students can do. His departure left a vacancy at Butler High School not easily filled. To The Clan of 1988: It wan with truly mixed feeling that I left Butler High School at the mid-point of your senior year. 1 thunk you for this opportunity to extend my congratulation to you for your accomplishments and your contribution . Both have enriched the live of all of u who make up the greater Butler community. Your cla ha con i tently et a positive example for other cla e to follow. On a more personal level, I feel truly honored to have played a small part in your development. 1 can remember your arrival as freshmen, a little scared, a little unsure about your place as a member of our student body. During the past four years, I shared in your accomplishments and, yes also, your disappointments. You have made my life richer as a result of my association with all of you. 1 hope that your future years are filled with good health, happiness, and joy. Until we meet again, may God protect you and always hold you in the palm of His hand. Joseph DiPasquale Superintendent Walkill Valley Regional High School 84 to mn April, however, brought signs of spring and a new principal, Mrs. Angela De Martino. She came to BHS from another BHS, Bloomfield High School. Experience as an assistant principal and English teacher had prepared her to assume the reins of leadership. In addition to her educational preparation, as the mother of five teenagers, she brought with her special insights into the adolescent psyche. It seems certain the cajoling, warning, rewarding, punishing and praising will continue under her leadership. Goodbyes and hellos, they are painful and exciting as they mark the chapters of our lives. Goodbye, Mr. Dee! Hello, Mrs. DeMartino. Dear Seniors, June marks an exciting milestone in your lives- the transition between adolescence and adulthood. How wonderful to hare lived through high school experiences which will provide many memories for years to come. Hoir exciting-how frightening-how challenging to he on the threshold of the rest of your life!

For some, entry requirements must be met; for others a willingness to serve is the only criterium. The Honor Society and Varsity Club recognize students who have excelled in aca- demics and sports respectively; however, the fo- cus of these groups is service. Attendance, guid- ance, high school office runners; TV and Radio Club; and the stage crew allow for the smooth running of the school and many extra-curricular activities. These groups need to be recognized for their service and their promotion of school spirit. It is seldom that the Honor Society is not involved in an activity. This year alone has seen a variety of ways in which this group serves the Butler-Bloomingdale citizenry. Its members have supplied tutorial services for students struggling in various subject areas. Thanksgiving food bas- kets were distributed to local families who oth- erwise would have had no holiday feast. The Christmas toy collection threatened to overrun Miss Bignell's classroom; yet who could resist the smiles of the children who received these con- tributions. Speaking of smiles, the senior citizens developed new laugh and smile lines as Honor Society members instructed them on the fine points of bowling. It is service such as this that distinguishes the members of this organization. For the Varsity Club members, being part of the group is recognition for their contribution to the Butler High School sports program. They support the school not only in the playing of their various sports but also monetarily. Several fund raisers sponsored each year such as the hoagie sale, the calendar sale, and the Bench-a- thon, fill the athletic coffers which helps defray the costs of maintaining the various sports pro- grams. Workers and supporters contribute to the continued success of the Varsity Club and its services. Good morning. This is the Butler High School Morning Show. These words can be heard each day as news of interest to BHS students is broad- cast by the Radio Club. There are faces behind those voices. Students, under the guidance of Mrs. Liddicoat, keep the school community in- formed of all happenings, awards, meetings, pro- grams and changes in schedule. This same ser- vice is performed for the community at large by the TV Club with the assistance of Mrs. Abdel- salam. Many programs at school would be cha- otic were it not for the expertise of the stage crew. This group struggled without an adviser for more than half the year, following the retirement of Mr. Biemer, until Ms. VanOrden agreed to su- pervise the crew for the student musical. The last group of dedicated students is known simply as runners . Messages from guidance, attendance, and the high school office are de- livered throughout the school by students who volunteer their services during their study pe- riods. Their importance, especially to the staff in these offices, cannot be measured. As can be seen, the word service has many meanings at Butler High School, as many mean- ings as there are activities and students involved. Nearly every team or club performs some kind of service to the school or the community. The Jerseymen helped raise funds for the veterans' memorials. The football team helps out with the Junior Bulldogs program. Student Council is in a class by itself because of the broad variety of service functions it performs. Though the service itself may vary from group to group, Butler's students contribute countless hours of hard work and dedication. Bowling for dollars? No! Bowling for fun! Sergio Gadaleta, Jessica Zock, Keith Platt, and a resident at the Wanaque Convalescent Center practice their bowling skill during a Christmas holiday visit by the Honor Society.

Student Life 91 An extracurricular activity is a break from everyday school work: a school activity that doesn't require books and studying, right? Not true of the Academic Decathlon team, a rel- atively new organization at BHS for which studying and learning are its main activities. From September, the Decathlon team was tu- tored two days a week in math, science, his- tory, economics, literature, fine arts, essay writing, and public speaking skills. In addition they were coached on the history of flight for a special Jeopardy-style quiz. All this work became worthwhile in Feb- ruary when the team competed against other High School Decathlon teams from Morris County. The Decathlon competition consisted of grueling tests for the students in addition to nerve-racking interviews, speeches, and es- says. The day was completed with the exciting Super-Quiz” where the students competed as a team. The Academic Decathlon team is a group that proves that non-athletic competition can require as rigorous a training schedule and can provide as intense a confrontation as any sport.

Student Life 93 History can be fun! «i INI For a small group, the Jerseymen is a busy organization. This year's Butler chapter of New Jersey's Historical Society participated in a Model Constitutional Congress at Nyack High School, visited the Ringwood Manor for a look at an old-fashioned Victorian Christmas, and prepared a slide presentation on the history of Butler and Bloomingdale for the Middle States evaluation dinner in January. The Jerseymen also plan exciting activities that are educational. In February, the group was swamped ' with information at a sticky maple svrup demonstration at the Great Swamp Wildlife Refuge. Later, they flocked to the Hackensack Wildlife Refuge for a lecture and demon- stration on birds of prey. The spring found them at the Statue of Liberty and the United Nations Building. Spring is not spring without the annual BHS History Fair. Jerseymen volunteer many hours of their time in planning and hosting the event. The 1988 Fair was a combined effort of both nigh school and Richard Butler School students. This year's officers were president Scott Dilzer, vice-president Barbara Timmerman, secretary Randi Sokoloff, and treasurer Pam Salvemini. Their van driver (and advisor) was Mrs. Hoeflinger.

Apparently the Lorton Prison was being charged with firing a prison guard solely because he was a carrier of the AIDS virus. But something was out of place ... the lawyers for the defense and the witnesses were students from Butler High School. Had these students embarked on an early career in law? No, they were participating against Morris Catholic at the Morris County Mock Trial. Mrs. Hoeflinger's nine Law II students, plus one borrowed” Law I student, spent weeks preparing for the event, but it was well worth it for the impressive showing they made. Defense lawyers Kira Struble and Barbara Tim- merman and witnesses Pam Hulme, Kevin Callaghan, and Aimee Parmenter won the jury's favor and triumphed over Morris Catholic. February 11th, the mock trial compe- tition continued but the roles were re- versed. Tracy Bastante and Pam Salvemini acted as lawyers for the plaintiff, Jason Mucklow. Witnesses were Martha McKinney and Tina Ronchi. The Butler team made a remarkable showing but the judge found in favor of Villa Walsh by a narrow margin of only one point. Although they weren't able to advance to the next level of competition, all the students felt they performed to the best of their ability. The law students recognized the importance of the insight they gained from this glimpse of how the legal system works. They also had a lot of fun. The 1988 Mock Trial Team : Aimee Parmenter, Martha McKinney, local attorney-advisor Mr. J. Ragno, Pam Hulme, Pam Salvemini, Tracy Bas- tante, Tina Ronchi, Kevin Callaghan, law teacher Mrs. Hoeflinger, Barbara Timmerman, and Kira Stmble.

Butler High managed to capture this special sound on March 24th, 25th and 26th, when this exciting era came to life in Leader of the Pack . The story followed the life and music of the ambitious songwriter Ellie Grenwich, portrayed by Louise Dibble. Louise's outstanding portrayal of Ellie was characterized by her professional singing style in such numbers as What a Guy and the hauntingly beautiful Rock of Rages. The show also contained a conglom- eration of Do-Wop, Gospel, and Motown sounds. Martha McKinney in her role as Darlene Love had some show-stopping numbers such as Look of Love and River Deep, Mountain High in which she used her powerful voice to every- one's liking. This was Martha's first ap- pearance in a BHS musical, but her per- formance was superb! Other stunning performances were those by Janey Pearson as Annie Golden, and Jason Swedin as Jeff Barry . Janey charmed the audience with her songs Be My Baby and Leader of the Pack. Jason used his acting abilities to their fullest extent and had his moment when he sang Do Wa Diddy. Cast members are not the only ones to be commended. Stage crew, under the direction of Ms. VanOrden, put together some super sets. Stage manager Dave Quine made sure sound, lighting, and set changes ran smoothly. The pit band (orchestra, please!) was primarily made up of Butler High stu- dents. Miss Kunzle led the orchestra for the three performances and also was mu- sical director for rehearsals. Scott Wes- ton, a senior from Passaic Valley High School, donated his time as choreogra- pher. Leader of the Pack was enjoyable proof that, when they cooperate and put their minds to it, students are capable of an incredible performance! Be My Baby with Janey Pearson and chorus.

March came in like a lion with the annual Pops Concert. Mr.James and Mr.Bychek had been drilling the choir and band members since Christmas for this concert which included Rhapsody of Reruns by the band and Broadway by the choir. Freshmen and soph- omores were treated to a special event on March 16th when Jeff Thaxton returned to BHS for the third time to deliver his poignant message : Love your parents, not drugs. On March 18th, the Wanaque Convalescent Center participated in a Rock-a-thon. With the encouragement of BHS Honor Society members, the center's residents put their rocking chairs in motion to raise money for the Arthritis Foundation. Both students and participants en- joyed the visit and everyone made some new friends. Of course, the springtime would not have been com- plete without the annual school musical. This year cast, crew, and pit band put on a super rendition of Leader of the Pack . The musical, plus the array of other activities, put the student body in the right frame of mind for spring vacation.

Sports 107 When the sun shines S® B)© (MPTLiIni’S z TInllLITI The spring sunshine and warmer weather improves everyone's dispo- sition includng the athletes, coaches, and fans of Butler's spring sports pro- gram. As always, the yearbook went to press just as the season began but all hoped that this year's pattern of improving team performance would continue through the spring season. The crack of bat against ball brought a gleam to the eye and a smile to the face of varsity coach T. Ham- ilton. Our main objective is to im- prove from last year and head toward the conference championship. The eight returning varsity letterwinners provided a stong foundation for the team with four more veterans moving up from JV. Coach Giles headed into her 18th season coaching softball with expe- rience in the outfield and enthusiasm all over. The team faced a rebuilding season as seven members graduated with the class of '87. Dependable per- formances were expected from Amy Plotts, Dana Schimpf, Dawn Weland, and Kathi Sheehan. The starting line- up included Sandy Meade on the pitcher's mound and experienced catcher Michelle Dauemheim. Tiny but tough is Coach Benne's description of the girls' track team. Although lacking the power of a large group, only ten in mid-April, the team hoped for strong individual perfor- mances. With only one returning se- nior, Maria Delcorso, the team needed to work on technique with the help of assistant coach Mrs. Ference. Coach Benne counted on the team's com- mitment to overcome the hurdles. For the second year in a row, the boys' track team began the season with a new head coach. However, Mr. Carlson was no stranger, having served last year as assistant. He also had the help of coaching veteran Mr. Barry, who became his assistant. Four seniors, Scott Johnson, Ray Velez, Pat McGrath, and Mike Dolce, looked for- ward to respectable seasons. The coach also counted on underclassmen like Jim Hinkey in the distance events and Ed LaNeve and Mike Finelli in the discus. Bringing the golf team back after a cancelled season in 1987 was the chal- lenge that faced Coach Monacelli and his two senior veterans, Brett Boon and Jason Mucklow. The sport attract- ed a number of newcomers who faced tough competition from such rivals as Pequannock and Passaic Valley. Like all Butler's athletes, this group worked hard to improve their game, but as one athlete pointed out, We also have a really good time!

Spring Sports 115 Cold Winds, Warm Spirits WDNnrilH §I S®M The heat was on as Butler prepared for its winter sports season. With strong work ethics and positive at- titudes, Butler athletes strove for cons- tant improvement. Despite harsh winds and bitter temperatures, the warm-hearted Butler fans arrived to cheer on their classmates and friends. With only one senior member, the girls' basketball team fought for a competitive season. Yet that senior, Amy Plotts, can easily sum up her final basketball season at BHS in numbers, not words — 1000! On Jan- uary 29, 1988 Amy became the first girl at Butler High School to score over 1000 career points. Amy went on to finish the season with over 1200 points and a place on the All- Conference First Team for the third consecutive year. A four-year varsity letterwinner, Amy is only the third 1000-point scorer in Butler history. Although overall the team record was not outstanding, the girls' bas- ketball team was forced to deal with inexperience and injury. However, the team was able to work together, through the coaching of Miss Giles, early in the season to defeat Ramapo High School in the first round of the Pequannock Christmas Tournament to reach the championship round. Other highlights of the season includ- ed upset wins over West Milford and Madison. Coached by Mr. Wolak and assis- tant Dana Collella, the boys' basket- ball team was confronted by aggres- sive adversaries from the outset. Facing a demanding season, the team therefore practiced six days a week, at all times, both before and after school. Thus, with strong work ethics and sol- id practices, the team battled for a competitive season. Although the record was not out- standing, the motivation, attitudes, and improvements were. Captains Lou Vento and Alex Taggart as well as Jason Swedin contributed significant- ly to the program. Their commitment and dedication as well as their lead- ership aided the team on the court and off. Meanwhile, Joe Natale and Kyle Post showed promise of becoming as- sets to next year's team, as the 1988 varsity basketball team accomplished positive strides toward improvement. An epidemic plagued Butler's teams this season — inexperience. Unfor- tunately, this malady did not bypass our fencing team. With only three ex- perienced varsity members. Coach K. Hanisch found himself with a chal- lenge, which he overcame with strong performances from team Captain Scott Dilzer and leadership from foil Captain Gene Hiller. The team sorely missed the support of the long-time assistant coach, Mr. K. Carpenter, who passed away in the fall. Illness also cost the team a veteran fencer, Jennifer Boldt, who lost most of the season. Although wins were infre- quent, improvement was noticeable. First-year members Ryan Shafer and Jay Hui showed consistent progress. This season the team gained expe- rience, a base for a promising future. Ski team coaches, Mr. Hoeflinger and Mrs. Woop, stressed practice and conditioning with their relatively young team. The team improved their stamina and leg strength by walking up the slopes, rather than taking the ski lift. Captains Ray Velez and Dana Schimpf and veterans Dave Bosefski and Mike Quinn were the team lead- ers. The team began the season well, but were soon overpowered by the more experienced teams in their league. Coach Hoeflinger had high praise for Jim Hinkey, who skiied var- sity after only one year's experience and Tim Salvemini, who began the season with one day's previous skiing and finished the season as a racer. With a fourth place finish in the conference, one could hardly suspect that Butler's bowling team also faced the problem of inexperience. With previous teammates who did not re- join and Duane Reger injured. Coach Davenport looked to Captain Ginger Schlegel, as well as Tim Paulison and Ray Greig for support. Although there were many close matches on which the season hinged, Mr. Davenport was quick to respond that, Considering the circumstances, they (the bowling team) did very well. Individuals on the team rapidly progressed throughout the season. Ginger Schlegel held the fourth highest average of girls in the con- ference, while Tim Paulison and Ray Greig earned places on the 2nd team all conference. Meanwhile, team- mates Steve Bush and Brian Stackhouse earned high praise from Coach Davenport. Best year. Best season. Best record ... BEST, Coach Vogel enthusias- tically replied before the question was fully asked. The only team charac- terized by plenty of experience, But- ler's wrestlers produced the best re- cord this season. With team captains Joe Quigley and Sean Mabey leading the team to victory from the start, the wrestlers forged a strong unit to attain the best varsity wrestling record at BHS, eight wins and three losses. Fur- thermore, the team placed second at the Butler Tournament and the Kit- tatinny Tournament. Their twelfth- place finish at the Morris County Tournament among twenty-six schools was the highest placing of any team from our area.All-Conference honors went to Joe Quigley, Sean Mabey, and Mike Logan for their out- standing seasons. Sean broke his own record for take-downs. Freshman Chad McConnell showed outstanding promise as he earned a spot on the varsity squad and took fourth place at the Kittatinny Tournament. How did Coach Vogel sum up the season? It was the BEST YEAR! Sporting events help to brighten the dreary winter months. The team records were not always outstanding but every sport featured impressive performances by dedicated individu- als. As athletes like Amy Plotts and Sean Mabey set new personal and school records and underclass new- comers like Chad McConnell and Jim Hinkey polished their skills, they brought hope and inspiration to But- ler's athletic program. While team records varied, the enthusiasm, ded- ication, and perseverance carried ath- letes, coaches, and fans through the season. 116 Winter Sports The 1988 CirU' JV Basketball Team Alicia Taggart.

Winter Sports 129 good . .. Better. . . BEST! h ©IM ©M @F Summer ended early for Butler High School's dedicated athletes. While most students baked in the sun or refrigerated themselves in air- conditioned homes, Butler's finest sacrificed leisure for labor, a labor of love. Some traveled out of state for camp; others stayed at Butler High for practice. Nevertheless, all athletes sweated out rigorous practices in preparation for a demanding season. Improvement was the key mo- tivator for this year's varsity football team. Carrying the burden of two con- secutive losing seasons, the team strove for a winning season. With an increase in school spirit, attendance, and the potential of the team, this dream became real. Under the direction of Coach Jones, assisted by Mr. Hamilton and Mr. Creen, the team increased in size, strength, and speed. Throughout the season, strong performances came from captains Jeff White and Sean Mabey, as well as defense linebacker Mike Lowndes. Their leadership as well as the team's persistence and commitment to their goals led to vic- tories such as Butler's defeat over un- defeated Delbarton. This fall, the Bull- dogs practiced, performed, battled, scored, ... and the crowd cheered. The gymnastic team's record- breaking season also brought pride to Butler High School this fall. With a conference record of 5-1, and an over- all record of 6-2, the girls moved from last year's 8th in county, to 4th place. With the combined efforts of Coach Ference, captain Dawn Weland, and the gymnasts, the team broke the school's team record of 87.95 with a remarkable 93.95. Their goal to win the conference, however, was never fulfilled because the meet was cancelled. Highlights of the team's season included the defeats of arch rival, Pequannock, and last year's conference champ, Montville. Individually, Dawn Weland, as well as juniors Mary Bleignier and Missy Mazzei, had strong performances. Mary Bleignier earned a qualifying score for the states on the uneven parallel bars, while Missy Mazzei qualified for the states as an all- around gymnast. Furthermore, in the county meet. Missy placed 3rd on vault, 3rd on bars, and 5th all-around, out of 36 competitors. Freshman Chris Prumatico also supported the team with her outstanding performances, showing great promise for the future. Small in numbers, but large in spirit was the case for this year's varsity field hockey team, as the team had the minimum number of members need- ed to play. Despite this barrier, the team, coached by Ms. Benne, endured the season, with a competitive sched- ule. As other athletes left practice at the end of the day, the silhouette of this team practicing could still be seen; they never gave in to their handicap. Captain Amy Plotts was the tough- est and most consistent player, as she kept the score down by preventing numerous shots from becoming goals. With 90% of all goals blocked, Amy earned a spot on the 1st Team All Conference while captain Tracy Scherer was placed on 2nd Team All Conference. Sophomore Christy Ne- smith received an honorable mention. Honors also came to Ms. Benne this season, as she achieved her 100th win as a field hockey coach. What do you do when several pros- pective hopefuls for your team do not join? You work hard! This was the game plan for the boys' cross country team, led by Coach Hamilton. Fin- ishing the season with a team record of 3-11, Mr. Hamilton was quick to reply, This is not indicative of the team's actual performance. The team's hard work led to steady prog- ress in race times. Competing with a team of mostly underclassmen, the runners were led on the course by team captain Craig Bernier. Top run- ners included senior Mark Giegerich, junior Kevin Hertlein, who won an honorable mention at All Conference, and letter winners Ron Bowen, Dave VanVoorhis, and Dennis Anglani. Af- ter facing the difficult challenge of not having experienced hopefuls come out for the squad, Mr. Hamilton in- dicated that there is new hope for the future. The girls' cross country team progressed this season, despite deter- rents. Inexperience, illnesses, and in- juries plagued the team. Coach Barry commented that his young team maintained a strong effort all season. Captain Tracy DeBlieck ran a com- petitive season, placing 3rd in the state sectional meet, achieving place- ment on the 1st Team All Conference. Meanwhile Cara Sanders, Sheri Da- vis, and Olga Granados supported the team with consistent improvement. No fall sports summary is complete without a mention of the dedicated cheerleaders, coached by Mrs. Borgman. The girls dazzled football fans with their agility and enthusiasm. Much of the squad's effervescence was due to captain Debbie McClean; her smile was contagious. The fall season, with more ups than downs, generated school pride and spirit. The football team gave us a winning season for the first time in too many years. Hidden talents sur- faced among the gymnasts. Virtually every team, even those with disap- pointing records, featured ahtletes with all-conference honors. Butler relearned what it felt like to win. 130 Fall Sports Dismounting from the beam is fvmnast Missv Ma zei. he 1987 Freshman Football Team Frank Yodice, Chad Me Connell, Rick Hannah, Ronnie Corter; Mike Fustic, Brian Rode, Dave DiLaura, EmUiano Carrero, Mike Gurrell, Tim Quigley; Gary Avery, Matt Bulns. jimmy Hard- ing, Craig Fisenhardt, Ralph Men do .a, Kevin Greig, Ryan Boyd: Coach Hoeflinger, Scott Ayers, Billy Whritenour, Jeff Guglieim: no, Chris Finelli, Tim Plotts, Khris Buntzen, Bill Kannegieser.

I wondered if two years of B's in the language had prepared me adequately for a literature course in a foreign language. Although 1 had known my teacher, Mrs. Wetherell, as a neigh- bor, 1 had to accept her in a new role. The course was just as demanding as I had feared and she was a different person in the classroom. We respected the schol- arship she demonstrated in her profound understanding of literature and history in Greek, Latin and French. We strove to meet her standards, driving ourselves to translate and analyze 40 lines of Latin poetry each night while we also pre- pared and wrote papers on art, history, literature and philosophy. The pleasure and pride I felt as I responded success- fully to the challenges Mrs. Wetherell posed convinced me that 1 would work most happily in academia. But she was more than a stern taskmaster. She also shared joy with us in club meetings, vis- its to theater and museums and in con- tests we entered. I owe so much of what makes my life satisfying to her: my love of literature and language, my enjoy- ment of the theater and, most important, my own desire to excel as a teacher. Many times each day, I am conscious of the need to meet her standards and I strive to carry well the torch she passed to me. Mrs. Savage My high school choir director, Mr. Norman Allen of Paramus High, was my most memorable teacher. Since I was a member of the concert and se- lect choirs all through high school, as well as being a soloist, I spent a great deal of time with this teacher. He is a fine musician with a bizarre sense of humor, and one year(my Senior year) I got hold of an old rowboat and put it in his living room when he was out(with the help of his wife) and filled it with beer. The reason for this I can't recall, but he struck back with the delivery of a live duck to my home. Our relationship was so strong that he and his wife named their fifth child, born in June of my Senior year, after me and another choir member. Our relationship has continued with annual lunches together every summer until his retirement to Florida last year. I miss him! Mrs. Franklin My most memorable teacher was a high school math teacher. This man had a unique way of instilling an amount of fear in his students to con- trol them. He also had an interesting way of teaching his students. Later on, when maturity took over my life, I found out or realized that this fear was not fear at all; but a form of respect for a man that knew about his subject material and about the trials and tribulations that would affect my future.

Comprenez-vous? “My most memorable teacher” A large and solid woman with a strong voice and a manner that projected a deep sense of calm, Madame Nardella was my ninth grade French teacher. She wore ostentatious jewelry; her clanking gold bracelets and oversize rings glistened and sparkled against the subdued colors of tailored suits. Nine students sat in a circle unable to escape her gaze or her inquiries as we engaged in round table discussions. She accepted our faltering and feeble efforts at putting vocabulary and verb forms into whole sentences as an act of comprehensible con- versation. She made the study of French a grand and glorious enterprise. Thank you, Madame!

Summing up junior year in one word is easy. Expensive! With rings, the prom, an array of trips, and the fantasy of owning a car, juniors turn to their worn-out wallets, only to find them empty. How do you pay for the absolute necessities? Of course, you get your working papers and you get a job. This year's juniors sold Christmas chocolates to build up the class treas- ury. Advisor Mrs. Benvenuto and the officers spent most of the year plan- ning for the prom. As the year ad- vanced, juniors realized that they were one step closer to being seniors.

This could be the general sentiment of a typical sophomore. A diverse class, this year's sophomores possess a variety of talents, from academic abilities to performing arts and athletics. Looking forward to graduation as the first class of the 1990's, they sponsored a poster sale to raise funds for their class. Activities and plans were organized under the guidance of their adviser, Mrs. Goertz, along with the hard-working class officers. The sophomores have yet to develop their own personality as a class. As they adjust to their changing position in high school society, it will be interesting to see their individual characteristics coalesce. The class of 1990 will be unique.

They floundered around, confused in this new maze. Adjusting to this new world of Butler High School was their goal. In time, many involved themselves in more after- school sports and activities than they ever imag- ined. Enthusiastically pursuing funds for their planned activities over the next four years, the freshman class sold more than $4000 worth of catalog items in their first sale. January brought a second successful fundraiser, a further boost to their treasury. Mrs. deWaal, class advisor, was instrumental in organizing these super salesmen. Their surprising first place showing in the annual play competition gave notice that the class of 1991 has certainly arrived.
