Opening 3 MORE TO COME KK OOO SS SOOO OO OOOO a a a OOO OOOO I I I High school is a wonderful mixture of confusion, anguish, and laughter. It is four years of preparing ourselves for the ultimate challenges that life has to offer us such as college and the job market. During our four years together we have managed to survive mass confusion as well as go through many changes, some easy to accept and others a bit more difficult. When we discovered that our six period day was suddenly being disrupted and changed to seven periods we accepted it. When school officials maintained we needed a new absenteeism policy we grumbled but assented to their decision. Even when budget cuts due to Proposition 2 2 forced many of our junior varsity teams to be eliminated we united and overcame these and many more obstacles. Throughout this mass confusion we continued our search to know. This yearbook is dedicated to all of us, the students of Classical, who have had to put up with numerous changes in our school curriculum and who have also had to deal with the three minutes allotted to us between classes. During those rapidly fleeing moments we discovered how difficult it was to chat with our friends, weave our way through the throngs 4 Opening of people at the staircases, and still make it to class on time. We found that sprinting through the hallways not only im- proved our bodies but allowed us to make it to class punctual- ly. Not only have we had to deal with the new absenteeism policy, and forty minute periods but we have also had to deal with the deterioration of Classical, and the unedible lunches served in the cafeteria. Even though the walls were crum- bling, the floors rotting out and plants taking their place there was no other high school in Springfield that instilled in its students both a greater sense of pride and a superior education. Throughout the confusion this year we, the members of the yearbook staff, have strived to inform you of any changes in the curriculum, acquaint you with any new faculty members, and familiarize you with the activities in which your peers participated. This year we endeavored to enlight- en you of the newest fads sweeping the nation as well as the accomplishments of our athletic teams. As you reminisce with this yearbook, sit back and enjoy. Relive those special moments of high school that you shared with your friends and remember there is more to come. Left: Senior Karen Scott is hard at work on her yearbook lay-out.

Opening 5 Did you ever stop and realize how much our friends meant to us during our high school years? As freshmen our first day at Classical was a real hassle. Every- one except you seemed to know where they were going and it was difficult to chose the right person to ask for direc- tions. One person may have seemed too “stuck up” to give advice while others were grouped in a clan that you didn’t want to invade. So you spent most of your time wandering through the halls alone when you really would have prefered some companionship. Chosing your friends also caused a di- lemma. A certain girl may have been wearing the latest style in clothes so you chose to eat lunch with her. Another guy you saw may have been wearing the T- shirt of a rock group you didn’t particular like so you avoided him. On the other hand there was this student who was car- rying the same type of chemistry book as you so you stopped to strike up a conver- sation. It is a relief, however, to look back and consider how many of your friend- ships were started with a simple smile and friendly hello while passing in the halls. During your sophomore and junior years you began to pick your friends out of everyone you met in the previous year. Once your group was complete you formed your own clique. Other students began to know you as the preppies, the punkers, the bookworms, or the jocks. Each clique probably had its own select activity such as cheerleading, Mathletes, the chess club or just standing outside Student Life Faces In A Crowd watching others walk by. By your senior year you were pretty confident about the friends you hung around with. You knew exactly who you could count on to copy their math home- work from and you would know for sure who to expect at the parties on Saturday night. With still others, you could go to the movies or drive around town when you all knew you should have been stud- ing for that big test on the next day. As your senior year drew to a close and graduation came near, everyone took their last chance to declare their friend- ships by distributing senior pictures and asking for autographs in their yearbook. As the end of the schoolyear approached, your graduation finally came. Everyone said their last good-bye and promised to keep in touch. Student Life 7 What Goes On After 2:10? After the school day ended this year + each of us had a different route to take. Many students went to work or were in- volved in a particular hobby. Still others went downtown for a bite to eat or to browse through the shops at Baystate West. For students who worked, was it diffi- cult for them to do their homework and socialize? Karen Orr, a Friendly’s employ- ee did not seem too complacent as a re- sult of her schedule. Because of her long hours at work she rarely had enough time to socialize and do her homework. In her spare time, Karen said she like to listen to music. Michelle Orr, Karen’s sister, also an employee of Friendly’s, had the same attitude as Karen as far as going to work and school was concerned. When Mi- chelle had extra time she said she went shopping to one of the various malls in the area. For those of us who didn’t work, some- thing had to be done to pass the time. Kevin Campbell spent many after school hours on his dirt bike to get away from all the burdens and anxieties of high school. He claimed riding was an escape. Video games were definitely “In” this year. After school many video game junk- ies headed for the nearest arcade. Dan Waterman, a sophomore, said video games were a great pastime which kept ‘ | 4 aHE + | Above: Karen Orr prefers posing for a picture instead of tending to her work. Bottom right: Punching in the total is Michelle Orr, who seems to be enjoying her after school job. Student Life him busy for many hours after school. Many students had to babysit after school for a younger sibling or neighbor. These students agreed that this was defi- nitely not the most exciting way to pass the time after school, but was a conve- nient way to earn some money. Driving school was a must for those of us who wanted to get our license as soon as possible, therefore the majority of these students headed down to Travis Auto School after the 2:10 bell rang. No matter what was done after school, there were always those extra few hours put aside for that dreadful homework.

Student Life COLLEGE: IS Today, with prices spiraling out of control at a dizzying rate, the dream of a good, inexpensive college education is fading. Most of today’s youth are shocked and be- wildered by problems that confront them in their goal of receiving a higher education. Because many campuses have complained of problems in keeping up with a harrying infla- tion rate, they have retaliated by raising the cost of tuition and housing. This situation had placed many students into the binding position of finding sufficient outside funds for all of the college expenses. Although a notable amount of students have the benefit of scholarships, this answer is not always enough to cover a substantial amount of the cost. Many others depend on loans provided by local banks, but high interest makes repay- ment on those loans difficult. The govern- ment grant is another possibility, although a major setback has been the budget cutting performed by President Reagan. In an effort to ease taxation, the President has de- creased the amount of funding for social programs, which unfortunately included government sponsored loans and grants. A part-time job, which is often necessary for a student, is becoming difficult to find, and is time consuming when one could be study- ing. Also, the money made is rarely enough to cover the total expenses of college life. There are quite a few options available to “Uncle Sam wants you.” This can be very relieve the tremendous pressures and prob- enticing with today’s economic outlook. lems that a college educated presents. The most widely used alternative is a community college. These government funded schools furnish an adequate education at a substan- tially lower price. Entering the armed ser- vices is another attractive alternative to many students. The armed service saves a certain amount of money, which will be used for an approved college or technical school by the applicant. The future doesn’t look very bright for perspective college students with the eco- nomic outlook becoming bleaker and with no relief in sight. The answers are slow in com- ing, but today’s youth will, and must, find a way to cope. Financial aid and loans help in the pay- ment of a college education. 10 Feature Per O@ SIBLE 2 Christine Enderle, at her parttime job, hopes it will provide her with helpful funds for college.

Ls a Feature Il 1982-83 proved to be a tumultuous year of change when it came to personal taste and fads. ‘Fads’”” came and went as Classical students took a liking to the latest items and a disliking to the passé oldies. Fashion, as always, led the way when it came to change. Mini-skirts, penny-loafers, and sixties-style pumps recaptured the scene. It seemed that fashion had dipped back into the fifties and sixties, creating an exciting blend with modern tastes. A new feeling of classicalism swept Clas- sical and the country in general. This feeling swept the women’s fashion industry, spring- boarding the tuxedo look into prominence. It also seemed that Classicalities got a kick out of fifties-sixties “punk’’ style sunglasses. It was always a way to get d weird look out of a straight-laced teacher. Records and books also created their usu- al stir. Cats (Garfield), Pac-Man, and Smurfs took top honors when it came to books, games, and collectibles. Musically, electro- pop, a new form of dance music made by the extensive use of keyboards and synthesiz- ers, gained national attention and phenom- enal sales. Groups such as The Human League, The Soul Sonic Force, and Soft-Cell sold hundreds of thousands of records as the public discovered a bold, new form of rock. On the more traditional front tremen- dous popularity came knocking for John Cougar, the Stray-Cats, Asia, and finally for the Clash and Police. In particular, ‘Valley Girl”, a single by Frank Zappa and his daugh- ter, Moonunit, satirized the lifestyle of fash- ion conscious teenagers in California’s pros- perous San Fernando Valley. Phrases like “Gag me with a spoon!” and a high pitched musical ‘“Omigod” rang through the hall- ways of numerous schools in the United States. The greatest fad of the year was the E.T. phenomenon. The little alien became one of the greatest attractions in movie his- tory. He was also popular enough to sell books, records, games and other collecti- bles. Many were saying, ‘Where have you gone Rubik’s Cube?” as the multi-million seller dipped and ran its course. Also going the cube’s way were Steve Martin, knickers, and Cheap Trick into the oblivion of fond memo- ries. As always new fads continued to attract attention and kept this year exciting. Who knows what’s in store for us next year? 12 Student Life 1982-83: ees A ATT Ti m elr LO Captured!!

Student Life I5 Seeking Relief From The School Routine The eerie halls of Classical emptied as the fourth period bell echoed throughout the endless hallways. The last scampers of students hurrying to class could be heard and the vibrations of an exception- ally loud teacher penetrated through the thin walls of the building. These common sounds of a usual school day prompted several skippers to come forth from their secret hiding places. From dark corners, abandoned lockers, storage closets, and from underneath staircases they cau- tiously crept. No vice principals, teach- ers, or students could be seen for miles around so they relaxed and proceeded with plans that would make an interesting period. Students who skipped class were pri- marily your normal, sophisticated kids who simply preferred not to attend class like responsible students should. Some of them had become bored with the con- stant routine of going to the same classes, doing the same work and basical- ly not accomplishing anything while oth- ers cut class to experience a challenge and freedom. After all, why go to some class that you're totally fed up with when you can enjoy yourself instead? From the expression on his face, Joe Barret will likely be places other than his next class period. 16 Student Life Skipping class offered a student a wide range of opportunities that would satisfy the most demanding person. With down- town just a block away, a skipper could leave the building entirely and go to McDonald’s or one of the many other stores. Other students who had absented themselves from class planned ahead of time to meet other skippers and then en- joyed themselves together. Still, others leisurely strolled throughout the school and waved at friends who were seated behind the closed doors of a classroom or went to the bathroom to have a refresh- ing cigarette. Whatever a skipper did during his free time out of class was both enjoyable and worthwhile. At the end of the period, the skippers rushed into the congested halls with the crowds of students changing class. As they walked to their destinations each of them reflected upon the last period. Was the enjoyment of skipping class really worth getting behind in school work and missing the intriguing lecture of a teach- er? The smile on one skipper’s face plain- ly revealed his answer. one scant Above: Kevin Chisolm casually sits on the window ledge. Right: A freshman prepares for another grueling math lesson.

The most important year spent at Classical, your senior year, has been compiled into the next forty pages of names, dates, faces, events, and memories. Someday you'll want to reflect on your high school years — to see how things have changed, gotten better or worse, to show your children — and Blue White will be right on your bookshelf to help you. Not only are the pictures worth a thousand words, but the stories can be worth a thousand pictures when you remember all that happened to you in high school. Images of late-night studying, parties, your first job, the prom, graduation, political issues in 1983, and many others can all be resurfaced in a minute just by reading a paragraph of what is written on these next pages, and hopefully these images are good ones. So look through this section again and again and don’t forget to take Blue White with you wherever life takes you because it may be the only part of your life permanently recorded for you in black and white — or shall we say “blue and white.” President Vice-President Elena lannaccone Brian Toomey I983 CLASS OFFICERS Secretary Treasurer Member-At-Large Barbara Foggs Ann-Marie Frogameni Sonja Shaw Representatives Tony Demusis, Natalie Webb, Regen Oakley, Sirdeaner Walker, Sheila Kelleher (not pictured) Seniors 19 The Class BALLOT BOOK WORMS TOM NOWAK and ELENA IANNACCONE BUDDIES CHRIS WYLER and JIM PELOQUIN DAWN FLYNN and LISA DUPREE BUS YBODIES BRIAN TOOMEY and TRACI DEVEAU CLIQUERS KIM REDDEN, BETH ROVELLI, and LINDA LEE CLOWNS DAVID GOGGIN and MARY PROVOST FOX SUSAN HACHADOURIAN HUNK FRANK SERVIDONE FRIENDLIEST BRIAN TOOMEY and SHEILA KELLIHER GIGGLER DEBBIE NICHOLSON MUSICIANS STEVEN TAUPIER and SIRDEANER WALKER PREPS RICK CURPENSKI and KIM REDDEN NICEST EYES MICHAEL VUMBACO and DAWN FLYNN NICEST SMILES JEFF NORRIS and RENEE VALLIERE CONTRIBUTED MOST TO CLASS ELENA IANNACCONE FAVORITE TEACHERS MR.

The advisers for the graduating class of 1983 — Mr. Schmid, Mr. Barnes, Miss Rozzi, and Mrs. Danton, did an excellent job with the class. They worked with the class for three years, saw them mature and gave them their support. Mr. Schmid, head adviser, admitted that being an advis- er requires a lot of work, but he did not feel pressured because of the fine collection of class officers. He viewed his position as one who advises, but leaves the final deci- sions and planning up to the students. Mr. Barnes adds, “I honestly enjoy it (being an adviser). Anthony T. Bruno Vernon L.

Miss Rozzi and Mrs. Danton, because of their homeroom obligations, were not able to spend much time with the students but were always willing to give them their sup- port and opinions when asked. Miss Rozzi was particularly impressed with the success of the magazine fund raiser. She felt that an activity of this sort should be done each year instead of spending undo energy on less profitable fund raisers. Mrs. Danton thought of the class as a great joy and believed that they were capable of reaching all of their goals. Throughout the year, various fund raising activities were held. Such activities included the magazine sale, popcorn sales, and dances. The aforementioned magazine sale was their biggest success, bringing in over $3,000. Graduating students have a unique respect for their class advisers. They are grateful to them for making their memories of school good ones. Years from now, they will reflect upon their advisers and realize they couldn’t have had such a profitable senior year without these teachers’ guidance and support. |.

Clayton 214 Forest Hills Road Blue White, Chorus, Mad- rigal Prom Committee Why Students Chose Classical Every year Classical High School has a high graduation rate. Why? Is it because the students at Classical can receive a diploma without earning one? Certainly not. Ninety-five percent of Classical High School’s students are enrolled in the college preparatory program. The C.P. course prepares students for college by requiring that students take certain courses. Also, a student may not pass any of these courses with a D grade or lower. If Classical has so many require- ments, why is it the obvious choice among many high school students? Sharon Leidhold felt it was because our school “is considered the best high school in Springfield to prepare a student for college.” Another stu- dent thought it had to do with the foreign language courses offered. “I wanted to continue my education in French for a few levels higher than what the other high schools in the city offered.” When Andrea Owens was asked why she chose Classical over other high schools she replied, “I planned on going to college, so | needed the closest thing to college that | could get.” Along the same line, another Classical stu- dent pointed out, ‘I knew that I wanted to go to college, but I also knew that for my future career | didn’t need a definite concentration in mathematics, science, or ste- Thomas Davis 135 Commonwealth Avenue Cross-Country, Track, Wrestling Deanna M.

Students chose Classical because of the collegiate atmosphere it provides. Classical tries to simulate the college work schedule; for example, giving students a heavy load of homework every night, having students prepare term papers, and giving mid-terms and Classical also has many advanced placement courses. Classical offers trigonometry for those who excel in math, or would like to enter a math field. A.P. English and A.P. History for those students that excel in the arts, and A.P. French for those that are above average in French. Classical is actually the best high school in the city. Congratulations seniors, in making the right choice and picking the best high school in Springfield — Classical. You have taken your first step towrd success. ° Anthony V.

Wouldn't you like to learn more about Classical besides the faculty and the courses which were offered? Because you were looking ahead most of the time, you probably were not very interested in the historic facts about our school which had no bearing on your future plans. But now that you have had a chance to rest from those college applications, it is fascinating to think about the historic secrets that our school holds. There are a lot of things you may not have known about this time-worn building or about the students of past generations who have attended Classical. The words “High School” are not carved in stone above the main entrance to remind you of the tedious work which awaited you on the inside; it was there to empha- size the fact that in 1898 there was only one high school in Springfield — Classical — which was then called “Central High.”” Central was later renamed Classical in the fall of 1934. The building was first opened in September, 1898 for the general public. In September of 1898, there was a total of 229 students, 104 boys and 125 girls, in addition to 23 teachers. By 1935, enrollment increased to 1,264 students. At that time, there was a lecture room on the third floor in which 250 students could sit, and an observatory tower containing a telescope across from room 3l8 above the room marked conservatory. Our school was changed little by little in order to fit the needs of the growing number of students entering Classi- cal. For example, the lecture room on the third floor was converted to the present study hall, room 323, which now holds only II7 people. In 1898, Arthur A. Adams was mayor of Springfield, and the superintendent of schools was Thomas Balliet. Early in 1899, Mr. Edwin Howlan Blashfield visited Classical’s first . principal, Dr. Fred Washington Atkinson, who held this office from 1894 until 1900. Mr. Blashfield discussed the possibility of painting a mural on the back wall of the stage in the Assembly Hall. In 1900 the school paid him $1500 for painting it, part of which came from the sales of the “Kappa Annual” (at that time Classical’s yearbook). He took a great interest in painting and was awarded medals at two World’s Fairs for his work. The principal who held the longest term was William C. Hill, who worked from 1910 until 1935. He was famous for saying (in the auditorium), ‘‘No one has a right to do that which, if everyone did it, would destroy Society.” If you were not crazy about your school colors “Blue and White,” think of your reaction to some former school colors, blue and orange or olive green and white. The latter was chosen after the colors blue and orange caused some dissatisfaction among the student body. Classical High School was considered the number one school in the entire country. Principal Hill worked very hard to continue Classical’s high standards. The majority of the students entering Classical went on to top Ivy League colleges. In fact, Harvard gave a special plaque to outstanding students — The Harvard Phi Beta Kappa Tro- phy. From the very beginning, Classical has been number one in terms of the excellent education which it has of- fered over many years, and will continue giving students the finest education possible!

It has been an issue of explosive debates. The Vietnam War led to massive resistance against the draft in the 1960's. The draft was ended in 1973 by Presi- dent Nixon, and registration ended two years later. The draft never did die as an issue, al- though the political climate for its reg- istration remained dormant — until 1980. The Reagan administration has no plans to revive the draft. The current law only requires all American males born after 1960 to sign up with the Selective Service in case there is ever a national conflict, and so far about 94% have accepted this obligation. Others have chosen to resist. So far three resistors have been tried and convicted. Classical, as any other high school with boys about to turn 18, has been affected by the draft. Students have their own personal opinions on the draft issue. One stu- dent felt that girls as well as boys should be required to sign up with the Selective Service. Another student shrugged off the matter as nothing too important — just a simple task of registering down at the post office. Some felt that the draft was necessary in the event of war, in order to retain a free society. In our young minds, war seems to be something of the distant past. A major conflict involving the need for all eligible I8 year old males seems hard to acknowledge. The opinions of Classical students are varied. Each per- son holds his own debate on the draft issue. Whether or not they agree with the draft, it remains an important issue in our free society. ce just a simple task of registering down at the post of- fice.” 1.

Soccer Beth Ann Loveland 139 Mayflower Road Freedom king Making our own decisions provided us with many op- portunities to express our freedom, whether it meant choosing a favorite course, college, or career; therefore, we were better prepared to accept the consequences of our own actions. Twelve years of education taught us to deal with other people comfortably, to put our ideas to good use, and to work effectively toward a successful future. Education not only increased our knowledge, but also our desire to function as independent people in society. The urge to become “one’s own boss” grew appreciably during the junior high school years, and meant more when we reached high school because our entire lives were affected by our many important and difficult decisions. The yearning for freedom began in grammar and junior high school when we could not wait to break for lunch in order to exercise more than just our brains. The teacher moved from class to class in elementary school while we remained glued to our chairs for six long hours each day. Who could blame us for becoming restless? Junior high granted us more independence; we were able to observe our friends and foes in the hallways as we passed to our classes. We were also faced with more responsibilities, such as homework assignments, teachers’ high expecta- tions, and the need to cope with everyday problems. High school was completely new to us because pres- sures seemed to be popping up from all directions. Compe- tition was prevalent as we strived to become better than our peers by further developing our own abilities and interests. This was a helpful experience because competi- tion ts and always will be around us. Instead of concentrat- ing on daily math or literature lectures, a common prac- tice was to gaze through a nearby window and imagine what our futures would bring. Someday our daydreams will become realities, and our ideas will be used on a more professional level. I.

First there were the yearly events such as the prom, the banquet, and of course graduation. Then, there were the senior priviledges. The senior priviledge that seemed to draw the most attention was early dismissal. Early dismissal permitted seniors to leave school after their sixth period class. As with other priviledges, early dismissal was not handed to seniors on a silver platter. It was something that they had to earn. Early dismissal was granted to a student on the basis of their grades and school conduct. If a person violated their priviledge by not leaving the building or by receiving failing grades, then early dismissal was lost and replaced with a study hall. Danny Murdock 909 Liberty Street Track Punching Out Early Jo-Ann Murray 3 Riverton Road Coffee Shop Paul F. Muzzy 87 Brunswick Street The student not fortunate enough to be granted early dismissal was assigned to a study period unless he or she became eligible for early dismissal. When asked if early dismissal was worth the effort, one senior replied, “I felt it was worth the effort because it was something extra that you had all year. It wasn’t a one shot event like the prom or the banquet.” Early dismissal gave seniors the opportunity to do many things such as work, go shopping in our newly decorated downtown area or visit the various museums in the Qaudran- gle which is conveniently located close to the school. It also gave them a chance to get loose, hang out and be carefree. One might still wonder, “What’s so special about early dismissal?” Well, it gave the seniors a chance to go home early, get to work early, or even get their homework done early. To a senior, probably the most important aspect was that they had something that the underclassmen didn’t. |. This group of girls are ‘busting out!’’ 2.

There are so many things to do and prepare for. Activities, events, and important dates cluster the mind and fill students with excitement and anticipation. The autumn began with a dance given by the seniors. This was an ice-breaker which gave the students a chance to get reacquainted with each other. The Blood Bank, an event held in the fall and spring, was very successful. Over 75 pints of blood were donated to the Red Cross, the most ever collected in the fall. In the spring, over 100 pints of blood were collected. Not only did the spring bring the Blood Bank, but also the senior prom, the banquet, and graduation. The senior prom was well attended and enjoyed by all. The music was provided by a disc jockey and a band who supplied a variety of music to please everyone. The event was held at Chez Josef. The senior banquet, held at the Greek Cultural Center, was a night to remember. All were in attendance includ- ing many members of the Classical faculty. The attire for the evening was formal which produced an elegant atmo- sphere for the ceremony. The evening included a deli- cious meal, the announcing of the class ballot, the read- ing of the Will and Prophecy, and the receiving of awards. Graduation, the high point of the year, was held in June at the newly renovated Springfield Civic Center. The ceremony was touching and meaningful. Inspiring Geralyn M. Starzyk Theresa M.

NaS a SS a a ae ee oe As we become older we become more aware of events and situations around us. During our years in high school the meanings of certain happenings become apparent and sometimes special interest is taken in them. How we think and feel about certain topics in the future may possibly stem from our initial attitudes in high school. Read about the events that took place during our time at Classical and try to remember how you felt at that time. The United States beat the U.S.S.R. in the final hockey game in the 1980 Winter Olympics, and Eric Heiden took five gold medals in those same winter games. The U.S. didn’t attend the summer Olympics in Moscow to protest Soviet occupation in Afganis - tan. Preppies usurped America armed with Add-A-Pearl necklaces, Docksiders, and armies of alligators and whales. The moral majority came between Brooke Shields and her Calvins due to suggestive television commercials. Bo Derek made famous the rating system and cornrows in her movie “10”. Dallas fans learned that it was Kristen who shot J.R., and Muhammad Ali came out of retirement so that Larry Holmes could snag the world heavyweight boxing title from him. Mount St. Helens erupted, as did Boston Marathon officials when they learned that Rosie Ruiz, the supposed women’s winner, never ran the whole race. Ronald Reagan ran in, and finished the winner, in the 1980 presidential election, beating Jimmy Carter. John Lennon was murdered in front of his New York apartment, leaving the world in a stunned silence. The year ended with the U.S. hostages in Iran. Billy Carter told the world, “Billy Carter is not a ‘buffoon’, a ‘boob’, or a ‘wacko”’ , and Rosie Ruiz claimed, “I ran the race — I really did.” Besides John Lennon, deaths included Steve McQueen, Jesse Owens, Alfred Hitchcock, Peter Sellers, Mae West, Jean-Pearl Sartre, and Jimmy Durante. January 20, 1981 brought the hostages home from Iran after 444 days of captivity, and also brought our fortieth president into office. Ronald Reagan took his innaugural oath hours after the hostages were released. Assassination attempts were made on the lives of the President and Pope John Paul II. Egyptian President Anwar Sadat was murdered by Muslim fanatics. Air traffic controllers went on strike only to lose their jobs, but that didn’t prevent the space shuttle Columbia from making her first successful flight around the world. Sandra Day O’Conner made one big step for womankind as she b ecame the country’s first woman Supreme Court Judge. Atlanta was plagued all year by “The Man” who killed twenty black children there. Rubik’s Cube, Sony Walkmans, and video games all became big sellers. Raiders Of The Lost Ark and the Royal Wedding made the summer a memorable one. Baseball players went on strike, and John “Superbrat” McEnroe won the Wimbledon title for the year. The Rolling Stones made 27 million dollars on their American tour, but fans who got tickets didn’t care as long as they were able to attend a concert. Princess Diana announced her pregnancy by saying, “Nobody told me about morning sickness.” Obituaries included Natalie Wood, Melvyn Douglas, Bill Haley, Ella Grasso, Roy Wilkins, Joe Louis, William Holden, and Omar Bradley. In 1982 unemployment reached 10.2%, families graduated from home video games to personal computers. Sophia Loren and John DeLorean were both jailed; the former for tax evasion, and the latter for intent to sell cocaine. Barney Clark got the first artificial heart, and England got a new heir to the throne when Princess Diana gave birth to Prince William. Preppies stepped aside for Valley Girls, made famous by Frank and Moon Zappa. Dustin Hoffman changed sexes for Tootsie, while E.T. phoned his stockbroker. Tylenol laced with arsenic made its way to seven unfortunate users, killing them all. Deaths included Grace Kelly, John Belushi, Henry Fonda, Ingrid Bergman, John Cheever, and Thelonius Monk. Football made the headlines early in 1983, beginning with the death of ‘Bear’ Bryant, and the Redskins victorious at Superbowl XVII. Hersehel Walker won the Heisman trophy and then quit school to play for the Generals, a team in the newly formed U.S.F.L. ABC television provided millions of viewers with millions of dollars worth of “Winds of War’, and CBS attracted even more viewers with the last episode of M A S H. Massachusetts’ own Tip O'Neil made a cameo appearance on NBC's Cheers. The whole East Coast was blanketed under an average of 18 inches of snow, beating out the Blizzard of 1978 for the storm of the decade. Eubie Blake died days after his 100th birthday, and singer Karen Carpenter also died at age 32. Bjorn Borg, five time Wimbledon winner, retired from tennis. In music, the Stray Cats brought back Rocka- billy, and Men At Work sold more debut albums than any other group in history. Twenty years from now you may still be a preppy or a Val, you may still be able to beat everyone at Asteroids, or you may have changed from a Republican to a Democrat. Whatever the case may be, you can say you were there when all of these things happened — some thing you and all of your classmates will always have in common.

The purpose of the poll was to establish a record of the events that faced Classi- cal students in the early 1980's. This poll forced many seniors to recognize the issues that await them now and in the future. The questions were impor- tant enough to require serious consid- eration and thought from the students. Of the 446 members of the senior class, a large percentage participated. The results of such issues as the mini- mum wage and Reaganomics were pre- dictable, while the results of the ques- tions pertaining to the use of marijua- na and the death penalty were some- what surprising. Alcohol should be taken seriously, especially when driving. The most important man in Amer- ica. His actions now will greatly affect our futures. Mary Scarfe ponders life’s prob- lems while trying to fill out our Uy yy iy Ui y Abortion, a rather important sub- ject for many. The future use of nuclear energy and weapons is a rather contro- versial subject. Feature 5l CAMERA | SHY Laurie Barlow 31 Lawton Street Jeanne Boucher 104 Hadley Street Lisa M.

Be- cause so many students were involved, the Chorale had to be divided into two classes; one met second period and the other met third. Students who were inter- ested in the basics of choral singing, or who just liked to sing (or who were inter- ested in an easy A) found Chorale enjoy- able. Basically, Chorale was the prepara- tory course for Classical’s more special- ized singing groups such as the Gospel, Madrigal, and Jazz-Rock singers because it gave the members a chance to sample all kinds of choral singing.

They had three major performances; the Christmas Concert, the Pops Concert, and the Spring Concert. The highpoint of these was the Christmas Concert which was held at Symphony Hall. The Chorale brought the concert to a sparkling end with their rendition of “O Holy Night”. They were accompanied by the band and brought the members of the audience to their feet ina standing ovation. The Cho- rale also made a great contribution to the school’s production of “West Side Story”. When they weren't performing, the members of the Chorale were busy rais- ing money which they used to order new robes, music, and equipment. This talent- ed and dedicated group of students helped to make the 1982-83 school year a memorable one at Classical and hopes that, with more dedication (and a little luck) next year will be even more suc- cessful. $i 4 | They Got The Beat LapD AD Aap op op aa ap I a oo I DS oa oS DD SoD oS So a oD SS DoD aD DD DD SoD oD aD a I I I II SD op oD DD DD DSSS SDSS ILDD DSI SSSI LIT I Richard Brock would much rather play the drums that allow Michael Sheehan to play, and he will go to any extreme to get his way.

Among the many successful concerts were the Christmas Concert as well as the Spring Concert.

Finally Tom Nowak, speaker for the evening, an- nounced that a new, creative group was about to make their debut. “Ladies and gentlemen, Classical’s gospel group, Cre- ative Expressions.” The house went crazy! The group’s pianist, Luke Maxwell and drummer Robert Lewis filled the house with music. Suddenly from no- where thirty voices filled the room with the song, “We Can Make It’, and the gospel group made their appearance. From that point on the audience, which consisted of parents, teachers, students, and town officials, moved rhythmically in their seats with the gospel spirit.

They’re not your average singing group.” However this is not the end of this musical extravaganza. There was another newly-formed group that definitely deserved mentioning and when Tom Nowak introduced the Jazz Rock Singers at the Christmas Concert, the crowd flipped. Dressed in tailored black pants, tuxedo shirts and bowties this group performed with professional excellence. “They may not sing gospel, but when it comes to Jazz Rock there is no better”, said their director Mr. Todd. This high- energy group performed songs from 52nd Street and also Dr. Jazz.

This select group of students was cho- sen by rigid audition for their vocal abili- ty. The 1982-83 Madrigal is a relatively new group comprised mainly of juniors. Not only are the members new, but the director is also new. Since Mr. Paul Rob- bins, the former director of the Madrigal and Chorale, retired last spring after many years of dedicated service, Mr. Mark Todd, the former director of the Kiley Jr. High School Madrigal and also a former member of the Classical High School Madrigal, returned to ‘‘fulfill his dream” — to direct the Madrigal and Chorale at Classical.

This year the Madrigal made approximately twenty-five appear- ances throughout the city, the highlight of these appearances being their Formal Concert, which was held at Symphony Hall. Also, several fund raising activities were held such as a citrus sale which was held in October and car washes in the Spring. If enough money is made, they will be planning to take a trip in the Spring of 1984.

Students From Afar Have you ever felt that you didn’t quite know what to expect from a new experience? Well, then, you might be able to imagine what all of our foreign students here at Classical have felt. Not only did they have to adjust to the new schedule and system, but they also had to make an adjustment to a whole new way of life. These students have come from various countries ready and willing to embark on a new learning experience. In their homelands, school was quite different than here in America. The Oriental schools are larger, and have more students enrolled than Classical. In both Italy and Portugal, students usually attend school for twelve years, although only eight years are required. Russian students, however, must complete ten years of school; entering at age six or seven, and finishing by sixteen. Russian and Iranian students stay in one classroom throughout their years of schooling, and the teachers come to each class. If they wish to further their education, foreign students must take exams to enter college. Acceptance into a college is very difficult because there is a great deal of competition. One out- standing difference from our school system is the separation of students into different classes. Russian students remain in the same classroom for ten years, therefore they spend their child- hood together. As a result of the Russian school system, comera- derie and close friendships grow among the students. Due to cultural and social differences, some foreign students have difficulties in relating to people here in America. One girl feels that foreigners are not readily accepted into our society. Many of the foreign students believe the freedom in America creates independent people who don’t feel the need for friend- ships as close as the ones foreign students are accustomed to. Also, some students feel their attempts at making friends have been hampered by the language barrier. The contrasting languages have created a more demanding cur- riculum for the Oriental students. However, the majority of the other foreign students have found Classical’s schoolwork easier. A few of the students have stated that at home they had learned in their first four years at school, almost as much as we students in America learn in our first eight years at school. Foreign schools are very strict, more competitive, and require more courses. Yet one Russian student, Leo Radzihovski, feels that Classical’s curriculum provides a demanding variety of courses compared to the stan- dard subjects he studied in Russia. The freedom to choose their own courses is an important aspect to all the foreign students. Our democratic, liberal society offers these students a fresh, new attitude toward life. Sang Hoang, from Vietnam, explains ‘life is better here because there is peace and freedom, there is no fighting.” Also, many of the foreign students have recently exper- ienced a change in their attitude toward success. Irene Bograd, from Russia, says she has taken a more serious attitude here. Instead of becoming a teacher as she would have at home, she plans to become a dentist. In Portugal, Sylvia Alfonso admits her thoughts were modest. With the endless amount of advantages we possess in America, her ideas have now broadened. All of the foreign students believe that they can achieve their goals in our society, which allows them to become the person that they wish to be. , a bs iy ba Above: Above: Pietro D’Angelo likes American soil.

Although Conard walked away with the victory, Classical walked away with the knowl- edge that they tried their best and had a good time doing so. This year’s team consisted of three seniors; Cindy Orne, Rob Jaramillo and Tom Nowak, along with one junior; Tony Vivenzio. Karen Levister, also a junior, occupied the position of an alternate. These trivia whizzes met after school one day a week with their coach, Mr. LeClair. 70 As Schools Match Wits Above: One last conference before the game.

The group of brilliant students that were chosen to partake in this mind exer- cising event were first chosen because of their high grades, and then were put ina practice match. From the practice match, Mr. Leclair chose the students he felt would do best. Despite the defeat, Classical was proud of the hard work that these sagacious students put into preparing for their match. The match proved to be a source of educational entertainment for all who watched. Drop By Drop, Pint By Pint SSID SSO SIDS SOO Soo Left: Anonymous arms, hold down another frantic victim.

It was a semi-annual event which was held both in October and April. For the past few years, Classical has been recognized as the most generous high school in don- ating blood. Every student who was at least seventeen years of age and over IlO pounds was eligible to give one pint of blood. This year, as always, the results were overwelming. Together Classical’s teachers and students gave a total of ap- proximately 150 pints. This total has sur- passed all other previous records set by _PSLILLSDSS SS SO SOO OO OOO Oooo Classical. With the aid of Mr. Keough as adviser and Karen McGibney as student coordin- ator, the bloodbank drive was an ex- tremely successful act of charity. All of the blood donated was used to help acci- dent victims or surgical patients in need of a blood transplant. One pint of blood could help as many as three people. Clas- sical and the Red Cross thank all students and teachers who donated their time and blood to such a worthy cause. We are looking forward to many more years of service.

In order to deliver these smile produc- ing films and projectors these dedicated students of A.V.A. had to come to school early., They also went around to all the Left: Row |: Jane Ruble, Adam McComb, Vivian Jackson, Christine Rickson, Tanya Gavin, Steven Bacon, Janet Yelle.

Audio Visual Aides 73 Not Just Colors AOR EES Blue and White not only stands for Classical’s flamboyant school colors, it was also the name of the school’s distin- guished yearly publication, the Yearbook. Hopefully you don’t have the mistaken idea that this yearbook just ap- peared. The fact of the matter was that a staff of thirty three students, both ju- niors and seniors, worked diligently for approximately seven months to complete the publication. Each person on the staff had responsibilities to uphold and dead- lines which had to be promptly met. It was only through the collective efforts of the entire staff that a book of such excel- lent quality was produced. The completion of a single page in- volved much hard work and creativity. This dedication included writing and typ- ing stories, making an outline of the page, fitting the pictures into the outline and writing captions for the pictures. Well, maybe that sounds easy but any yearbook staffer would tell you it is not. The staff of thirty three students was divided into nine sections, and each sec- tion had a very capable and trained edi- tor. The sections and the editors of the 1983 yearbook were: Activities, Doug 74 Yearbook Above left: The Activities Staff: Dion Woods, Ka- ren Scott, Monique Rowtham, Mary O’Connor, and Doug Quirk.

The Editor-in-chief was the proficient Ly nn Misulis. Lynn’s dedication and lead- ership skills earned her this important po- sition and she handled this job with an unequaled amount of class and capability. Mr. Dinnie was the adviser of the Blue and White Staff. His job was also one which required dedication and an unbe- lievable amount of patience. Together Mr. Dinnie and Lynn proofread every page to insure that it was as close to perfection as possible. To become a member of the Blue and White staff was truly an honor and to become part of this special home- room you must try out at the end of your sophomore year. If you were lucky enough to be selected you would be a part of this special group for both your junior and senior year. So now you know that Blue and White were not just the school’s colors but was also the name of Classical’s notorious and simply awesome yearbook staff.

Many of the members of Scribe found it to be a most enjoyable experience.

They raised this money by having many successful fund raising events such as a carnation sale, a popcorn sale, and a candy sale. The members of Scribe did another great job this year of choosing the best works contributed by many students in and out of Scribe. Thanks to the hard work of these talented writers, the stu- dents of Classical have another unique edition of Scribe to add to their collec- tion.

Well maybe now you're wondering what made these students join the patrol.

The supervisors of these homerooms are Ms. Danton and Mr. Annino. Ms. Danton’s homeroom’s motto is “Whatever we do we do graciously and thoroughly” and this of course is evi- dent in their work. The duties of the Student Patrol did not simply consist of signing passes, they ex- panded to ushering at concerts and at graduation, as well as working as office aides. This group also expanded beyond school and into the lives of others within the community. Collecting funds for Toy for Joy was a commitment that they upheld each year. Classical should be proud of the Stu- dent Patrol who willingly offered their help whenever or wherever requested, making positive contributions to the schools’ atmosphere.

There were thirty Juniors and Seniors, chosen for their superior writing ability, on the staff which met seventh period each day. Each were assigned stories by his or her editor that had to be completed and checked by editor-in-chief Robert Jaramillo. Their deadline, which usually was approximately one month after the story was assigned, had to be met in or- der for the story to appear in the Record- er. After all stories and features were completed, the final copy was sent to the printer. Students interested in becoming a member of the Recorder staff had to sub- mit a sample of informative writing to Mr. Brady, the adviser, who checked for style and content. They also had to main- tain at least a B average in their major subjects. 78 Recorder _SLISLSSOSL SSSA Julia Crosby, Maria Baez.

Under the experienced lead- ership of the captains, Patricia Lee and Cynthia Smith, the novice members strived for perfection and readied them- selves for their first appearance of the year. The Drill Team performed various types of drills which demanded the col- lective efforts of the entire group. The drills also required rhythm and total co- ordination. To develop a mastering of these skills the team practiced on both Mondays and Wednesdays. During these sessions all of the drill routines were practiced in full. The team worked indus- triously to prepare themselves for their half time shows at football and basketball games. The team also made some surpris- ing appearances i n area parades.

The Drill Team was an important factor in the school atmosphere. The team could be found donating their time to assist various other clubs and groups within the building, such as the Afro-American Soci- ety and Student Patrol. They assisted the Student Patrol with ushering duties at the Christmas concert in December. Because the Drill Team is a self supporting group they raised money through various fund raisers to buy their notorious jackets. Behind every group such as the Drill Team there is always an important advis- er. Ms. Kelly is in charge of the team, and her presence was germane to the success of the club.

The diehard members of Blue and White Business visited many home- rooms in November to take orders for the yearbook and during February went around again to collect the balance on them. Their job of selling yearbooks wasn't over then; they also delivered the yearbooks when they arrived in May. The twenty-three energetic members of Blue and White Business not only sold yearbooks, but more importantly worked on reducing the price of it. If these ambi- tious students didn’t go out and get pa- trons, professionals, and businesses to buy advertisements during the first few months of school, the price of the year- book would increase considerably.

Ms. Freedman kept track of the activities of the members by sta- tioning them in homeroom 2]3. Ms. Freedman thought of being an ad- viser to these hard working students not as a chore, but as an enjoyable exper- ience. “Il enjoyed working with these nice, hard-working students. They were responsible enough to make my part ea- sier for me,” said Ms. Freedman. Thanks to the hard work and dedica- tion of the members of Blue and White Business the price of the yearbook was in a range affordable to everyone.

Classical’s Student Government was run by elected student officers and representatives. This year’s Student Gov- ernment officers were: President, Sir- deaner Walker; Vice-President, Jackie Rheaume; and secretaries, Ellen Gurland, Kelly Baptiste, and Natalie Webb. “From the three minute bell system to their annual carnation sale, this group did it all,” said Mr. Keough, student govern- ment adviser. When asked how Student Government does it all, President, Sir- deaner Walker replied, “We _ basically break our group up into committees and handle it from there.

Over 63 pints of blood was received in 1982. The annual St. Patrick’s Day Carnation Sale was another major fund raising event where students raised up to $1000 for a deserving individual or group. It was definitely a proud moment when Sirdeaner Walker presented a check of $1000 to Donald Martin’s mother last year. As a result of a car accident Donald was paralyzed. Besides holding carnation sales and bloodbanks, the group also made the final decision on when a club or class could hold a fund raiser. ‘This was very impor- tant because it kept students from being bombarded everyday about buying some- thing’, said Mr. Keough.

Student Government 85 NEW SCHOOL YES, YES On December 7, 1982, Springfield’s citizens voted for a twenty two and a half million dollar high school at Blunt Park. After fourteen years of controversy, this was a major victory for those in favor of the new high school. Combining the student populations of both Classical and Technical High Schools, the new school would have a capacity for 1,700 students. There had been a great deal of controversy over the con- struction of a new school. Some Springfield citizens believed that the city simply didn’t need another high school. Others didn’t approve of the location site on the Fitzgerald Tract in Blunt Park. A group called SAVE, Springfield Active Voters for Education, were in favor of renovating both Classical and Tech. They felt renovation would be less costly than building an entire new school. Some people didn’t want the two school’s educational programs mixed feeling that students needed a separate, specialized school system. There were also many people in Springfield, Classical’s principal Neil Yesu among them, who were in favor of a new school. They felt that a new school was desperately needed. They defended their opinions by using Classical’s decrepit building as an argument. Thousands of dollars had been poured into repairs to bring it up to safety code regulations. The roof and stairways needed repair work. Chipping paint Above: Crumbling paint peels slowly from Classical’s walls. 86 Feature was constantly falling from the walls and ceilings. Classical lies on less than an acre of land, so there was no hope of expansion. Neither Classical nor Tech had athletic fields, so athletes were often transported to other facilities. The new school will provide a mixed educational program that will be a bonus to future students. A career center, specializing in basic skills, will be available to the students. The new school also has provisions such as elevators for the handicapped. Perhaps the greatest aspect of a new high school, in addi- tion to the obvious educational benefits, is the cost factor. The state will pay for 90% of all costs for the new school including any cost overruns. This money, had it not been used by Springfield, would have been spent on another school elsewhere in the state so there was no additional cost to taxpayers. Blunt Park itself can be beneficially used by students studying sciences such as biology, zoology, and horticulture. It also would provide ample room for athletic fields, and recreation areas. The new school, which is scheduled for opening in Septem- ber of 1986, will be a safe, healthy environment for students to learn in.

They were a select group of students who had achieved academic excellence. The society looked for students who pos- sessed four basic characteristics: leader- ship, scholarship, academic superiority and school service. To become members, the students were evaluated by members of the school faculty and the final deci- sions were then made by the National Honor Society adviser, Mrs. Thomas. The National Honor Society was a spe- cial group that was concerned with help- ing the community and the school. One of the major activities of the N.H.S. was a carnation sale from which the money was donated to Easter Seals. The N.H.S. mem- bers volunteered their free period to tu- tor those students who required extra assistance in their academic courses. 88 National Honor Society Many of the activities of the National Honor Society were orientated to helping the school and various charities. Being a part of the National Honor Soci- ety was in itself an honor for the mem- bers because it allowed the students to know that he or she was one of the best. Being best was not especially easy for these students, but they were willing to make sacrifices and put in a few extra hours of studying to achieve their well deserved good grades. As a privilege, the members of the National Honor Society were granted honor passes allowing them to sign out of their study halls. This en- abled them to go to the cafeteria or var- ious other parts of the school. Special recognition is in order for all of those who were a part of Classical’s very © special group, The National Honor Soci- ety. Top Left: Dina Nirenstein looks totally con- fused.

The mathematically inclined stu- dents met every Tuesday after school in room Il2 to practice and review some of the most challenging math problems known to our school. Every other month, the Classical Math- letes team met with fifteen other schools from Western Massachusetts to compete for awards given to the team or individ- ual with the most points. These points were earned by correctly answering each mathematical problem chosen from six different categories: Arithmetic and Number Theory, Algebra Il, Geometry, “Hey, did anyone get the answer of 2x-3 for the last one?” says Sandra Teague to the class. hovsky, David Robinson. Trigonometry and Complex Numbers, and Analytical Geometry. Each Mathlete meet consisted of six team members be- ing registered in three categories. Each member was asked to solve three prob- lems from these categories in a limit of IO minutes. The 1982-83 Mathlete team did reason- ably well this year. With the retirement of adviser Mrs. Bale, this year’s team was led by Mr. Carithers, a very encouraging coach. Each team member made a very worthwhile contribution to the success of the team. Mr. Carithe rs, as well as -the underclassmen team members, are look- ing forward to a very promising next year.

Many students at Classical did not realize that we had a Senate and many others didn’t know what the Senate was. To enlighten these people Mr. Brady, the adviser, explained, “The Senate is an afterschool activity in which we study the practice of debating and also participate in legislative assem- bly, including Model Congress.” There were eight members in _ this year’s Senate. Of these eight, two dele- gates and two representatives were cho- sen by Mr. Brady for the Model Congress to learn the process of getting a bill passed. At the Model Congress they took part in a debate after which they were “What are you looking at?” says Liz Friedman. 90 Senate Left: The 1982-83 Senate; Robert Jaramillo, Elizabeth Friedman, Mr. Brady (adviser ), Jennifer Sheehan, Tom Nowak, Gayle Rawson, Tanya Dawson.

These questions had to be answered immediately and without the aid of notes. A student interested in becoming a member of the Senate had to have an interest in debating, be articulate in speaking, and maintain at least a B aver- age. He or she also had to be willing to come to the meetings which were held every Tuesday after school in Room 3llA. The purpose of this club was to give all students a chance to speak in front of others, thus strengthening their com- mand of the English language. And so, now that we all know what the Senate is, perhaps we can strive to follow their example of appreciating the English language and making good use of it. Left: “I give up!” says Gayle Rawson.

This year’s offi- cers were: Ana Azarares, president; Lucy Arrastia, vice-president; Charles Lester, treasurer; and Lucy Canavan, secretary. Being part of this extra-curricular ac- tivity proved enjoyable not only to the students involved but also to Mr. Gramar- osa. “I liked helping the students learn about the cultures of different coun- tries,” remarked a pleased Mr. Gramar- osa. This year’s Foreign Language Club put on an excellent weekend, along with-all their other exciting activities, that should be remembered by all who were involved. Foreign Language Club 9 Dancing Under The Mistletoe Sia Christmas festivities came early to the students of Classical in the form of the annual Christmas dance. The dance was held a few days before Christmas to get everyone in the Christmas spirit. This fun-filled evening was held on December 23, at the Quality Inn, in Chicopee, from 8:30 to 12:30 p.m. The annual dance was a traditional girl ask guy dance. The party provided a chance for the students of Classical to show off their formal clothes and their dancing expertise to everyone present. Above: Jeff Norris gets into the music.

And in case you didn’t know the whereabouts of that familiar phrase, it was made by the Classical Cheerleaders, a squad which consisted of twelve girls; four sophomores, six juniors, and two seniors. The cheerleaders could be found at soccer, football, and basketball games cheering the team on and leading the spectators in rowdy cheers. Now don’t get the misconception that all cheerleaders did was scream and stomp their feet. There was talent behind their raving. The tryouts consisted of splits, jumps, and two cheers along with strenuous stunts. The squad was picked by Diane Green 1 EX RS } 94 Cheerleaders Below: Sharon Green, the co-captain, enjoys be- ing in the spotlight.

The responsibilities of the captain and co- captain consisted of informing the re- mainder of the squad of all scheduled events, any changes which may occur, and conducting the weekly practices. Practice is a vital part of any team and just as vital for the cheerleading squad. During football and soccer season, prac- tice was held once a week on Wednesday but increased to twice a week during bas- ketball season due to the greater amount of games. The cheerleaders also added soccer to their list this year. Cheerleading was an excellent way to promote school spirit, and the twelve young ladies who devoted their time to lead the school cheers should be acknowl- edged for their school spirit.

Without time for breakfast, these Classical students were anxious to get to school and frequent the Coffee Shop.

Carmen Nieves said she enjoyed working at the coffee shop because it was a fun way to raise money for her own class. Most of the workers agreed that they didn’t mind coming to school early to set up the coffee shop since they only had to do it once a week. All and all, the coffee shop was once again a brilliant success this year, thanks to Nancy Welch, chairperson; Miss Weissbrod, adviser; the hardworking cof- fee shop members, and all its patrons.

Every Tuesday night after school, for- ty-eight snow-loving characters packed all their gear onto a bus and headed for the slopes at Mt. Tom under the direction of Mr. Pervonga. Unfortunately, skiing is a sport that relies heavily on Mother Na- ture (plainly speaking, if it’s too warm it won't snow, and if there’s no snow you can’t ski) and we can all agree that last winter was slightly disappointing to those inclined to nordic sports. However, things began to pick up in the middle of January with the fall of about eight inches of snow and the Ski Club got a late but good start. Contrary to popular belief, you did not have to be an expert skier to join the Ski 96 Ski Club SLIDES DL DLS a SS SS OI oe Above Left: Kristen Contois and Chris En- derly face the slopes together.

Students paid fifty-eight dollars for five sessions on the slopes, including lessons for those who were apprehensive about going down one of those perilous mountain trails. If you didn’t own the proper skiing equipment, you could rent it for a small fee. The only requirements for students interested in joining the Ski Club were that they have an interest in skiing, be bold and daring, and that they come to all of the meetings. When asked about his feelings toward the Ski Club, Mr. Pervonga, the adviser, said, ‘‘They’re becoming familiar with a sport that they'll enjoy for the rest of their lives, and skiing teaches you to like winter.” The 1982-83 Ski Club was living proof of the optimism of the students at Classical even under the worst circumstances.

Whenever you needed to use the li- brary whether for information for a term paper, or for a book to read for enjoy- ment, you were always greeted by the friendly face of a library aide. Anyone who was willing to give up a study period in order to work in the li- brary could be an aide. A library aide has to be “honest and reliable”, have a good attendance record, and be able to main- tain at least a “C’”’ average. These quali- ties were evident in all of the twelve li- brary aides this year. The job of a library aide was not as easy as it may have seemed.

Each year, there was an award given to the senior who had given the most to the library. According to Miss Brown, who is in charge of the library aides: “to be a library aide, you have to want to be.” When asked about her reasons for becoming a library aide, Sabrina Wilson, a tenth grader, said, ‘It seemed interesting and | love to work with people.” Perhaps it was this love of people that allows this extraordinary group of people to make the library at Classical one of the best run high school libraries in the city.

The club met after school every Monday and Friday and worked out from 2:30 to 3:30. Not only did they perform their warm up exercises but they also practiced the latest dances. Although the club didn’t have a set uniform, Margarita Rosario stated that, ‘leotards and leg- warmers did the job just fine.” Making up the group were a number of ambitious young women ranging from grades 9-12.

A club’s value to the school is often determined by its productivity. And the Afro-Am Society can be considered one of the most productive clubs at Classical. The Afro-Am club was composed of twenty, hard working, dedicated mem- bers who contributed much time after school to planning and organizing the club’s activities. The activities included assemblies, canned food drives, car washes, fund raisers, and collection of donations for Toys for Tots. During Black History Month, the annual bulletin board was prepared, a skit from the play “A Raisin in the Sun” was performed, and well-known speakers were presented. The club did not function solely on the participation of the students; increased assistance from many of the teaching faculty helped it insure the club’s suc- cess. This year’s club underwent a sur- prising change concerning supervision. Mr. Barnes, who had held the position of advisor for the club for eight years decid- ed to give someone else a chance to run the club. He explained his feelings about the club as so: “It’s very difficult to total- ly divorce yourself from something that means so much to you. | will continue to assist the club in its endeavors because | feel that Afro-Am has great potential and will become a great leader representing the Classical philosophy.” The very capable Ms. Hoffman re- placed Mr. Barnes.

Elected for a second term was Presi- dent Karen Scott. A junior, Terrance Green was elected Vice President, Robin Ward was elected Secretary and Dana Dyer was elected as Chairperson of Black History Month. All of the officers did an excellent job to insure the club another successful year. The club’s biggest goals were to gain more members and involve them in new activities such as a tutorial service, the continuation of wrapping books to bene- fit a library in Southern Africa, and to hopefully become more involved in com- munity affairs. This year the Afro-Am seemed to have a new approach to dedicating their ser- vices but still the club maintained their reputation for being a productive and ac- tive part of the Classical High School.

The confused state was apparent in various freshmen as they attempted to adapt to high school life, as well as in seniors who worried about their futures.

The task that they accomplished was one that took a great deal of time and ef- fort, filling out transcripts. The transcripts range in complexity from “Ivy League” type schools being the most laborius to “State Type” schools being the easiest. Transcripts are a complete his- tory of a student’s record during high school. The information sent to the schools of our choice in- cluded such items as grades, at- tendance, recommendations, and “blurps”, which are brief de- scriptions of special courses, such as honors or advanced placement courses that a student Mr. Henry Brady- English 104. Academics Mrs. Kathleen Briotta- Eng- lish Mr. John Christie - Music had taken.

Academics 105 Changing With The Times Bright-eyed freshmen came into our age worn school building with hopes for their future and also with a feeling of the school’s inadequacy to change with the times, The majority of freshmen felt that “nothing has changed, the students are different but the learning process is the same old thing!” A great number of things had changed at Classical that tended to go unnoticed, We were fortunate enough to have a few teachers, who either taught or went here twenty years ago, express their views of Classical. While recalling the past, Miss Brown, our librarian, noticed the increased amount of visual aids and library books, She felt it was a shame that so few utilized the facilities in our midst, But, she explained that “it all depends on the students’ attitude toward learning whether they study or not.” However she did feel that we have an excellent student body who, when they put their minds to it, could accomplish great things. Mr. Macomber, an alumnus, felt that students now had a greater variety of courses but, unfortunately didn’t continue with them, As a language teacher he was sorry to see fewer stu dents going on ina fourth year ot a language. His opinion of visual aides was, “resource materials used correctly are excellent tools for enrichment.” Mr. Macomber concluded with his “delight at seeing the standards at Classical once again being strengthened,” Mr. Stevens, a math teacher, described the greater variety of courses offered here now. Among them were computers, and review courses such as Math 4rt. He felt that students now have “a positive attitude toward learning.” He further commented that he’s, “happy to work at such a fine school as Classical.” Classical has detinately changed with the times, It has computer terminals, visual aides and an extensive curriculum that has added to the aura of modern ism.

The most drastic change was the program schedule, Unlike the convenient, six period diagonal day, there was the intolerable seven day pe- riod instituted so that all public high schools could intermix. The new seven day period pro- voked an uproar among the stu- dents at the beginning of the year. Students had many com- plaints such as not having enough time to socialize in between classes and the risk of tardiness while dashing to class. Unlike the seven day period Armen Judy Jackowitz primps Jermakian Mr, Robert Keough Math which allowed three minutes, the former six day period allowed students five minutes between classes. Each class held four ses- sions each week with the six day period, but with the tedious sev- en day period, each class was held everyday of the week. Angry students signed peti- tions, but were unsuccessful in their mission. They finally real- ized that they were fighting a losing battle. As time progressed, Classical students adapted them- selves well, and finished off the year favorably. Miss Patricia Keenan- Eng: lish Mr. Michael Kokonowski English Academics 107 Welcome Aboard! I’m sure we all remember our first day at Classical. As we approached the entrance to the building, we gaped at the enormity of it. At first, we got lost through the labyrinth of hallways and tripped down the long winding stair- ways. Well freshmen, you weren't alone this year! We had a few new faculty members who went through similar problems. The faculty members we were fortu- nate enough to acquire this year were Mr. James Carithers, Miss Rosetta An- gelica, Mr. Mark Todd, Mr. Paul Nor- man and Mrs. Carolyn Wikar, each of whom had different views of Classical. Mr. Norman, previously at Com- merce, added a new dimension to the study of History. Mrs. Wikar, a half day teacher, gave Classical students a greater understanding of Math and English. Mr. Carithers, a former math teach- er at Forest Park Junior High, com- Mr. John Krom-Science Mrs. Denise Lakoma-Math mented that “Classical students are more motivated than most and have established certain career goals for themselves.” Another new teacher, Miss Angelica came from Commerce where she taught word processing and advanced typing. At Classical she continued to teach typing and felt “all students were very much the same.” She fur- ther commented that the staff and students were, “very helpful and very friendly.” Our new choral director, Mr. Todd, came to us from Kiley Junior High. He stated that he wanted to “lighten up the music and make the group unpre- dictable.” He also said that the stu- dents at Classical have “great ability and enthusiasm.” Mr. Todd was a great asset to our choral program. Mr. Todd and the other teachers hoped their futures at Classical would be re- warding. Studies Mr. Stephen LeClair-Social Above: Julia Crosby works diligently with her studies.

The languages offered at Clas- sical were: Spanish, French, Ital- ian, German, Russian, Hebrew, Greek and Latin. At least one lan- guage taken for three consecu- tive years was required prior to graduation for college preparato- ry students. The question asked was, ‘'Is foreign language an important part of the high school curricu- lum?” In order to arrive at a plau- sible conclusion, students and faculty members were _ inter- viewed. One twelfth grade student, Lisa Fleming, exclaimed, “the United States is a monolinguistic country, and foreign language is a way of communication. It is a way of broadening our horizons.” Latin teacher Mr. John Denis remarked, ‘‘a careful study of the ancient language does more than bolster English skills; it demands an attention to detail and a com- prehension of logic which disci- plines the mind for virtually any intellectual endeavor.” All in all, foreign language was viewed as a vital part of the school curriculum. One may hope that someday, the study of for- eign language in schools will break the communication bar- riers of the world.

For many of the seniors at Classical, gaining acceptance to the college or university of their choice was a challenge. They had devoted many long hours to filling out applications and writing essays and yet, they could never really be certain that they would be chosen out of the thousands of other applicants with whom they were compet- ing. Applying and getting accepted to a college was no easy task. The senior had to get an application from the schools of his choice. This, he carefully filled out answering all essay questions. Then, along with a transcript it was mailed back to the university. The application provided the college with necessary information about the senior and the essays gave a general idea of his English com- position ability and his life. Of course, many other things had to be taken into consideration about an applicant. Good grades, high class rank, and high scores on both sections of the SAT’s were of tremendous importance. The seniors record of extracurricular activities, unique talents, and per- sonality also greatly influenced the colleges deci- sion. All the factors together were then consid- ered by the college. Several month’s later, the colleges finally noti- fied the candidates who had been accepted.

The Search For Acceptance More and more Classical students this year found it necessary to apply for scholarships in order to meet the outrageous costs of higher edu- cation. With college tuition continuously on the rise along with the Reagan Administration’s cuts on financial assistance, it was now more difficult than ever to pay these prices. Even students who held jobs and had the monetary support of their parents very often could not meet certain col- leges tremendous expenses. Frequently, the result for these students was a postponement of their college plans. The Springfield are boasted a large number of scholarship programs such as John Boyle O’Reil- ly’s or the Jewish Womens Scholarships. The Na- tional Merit Scholarship Program, eligible nation- wide to students who scored exceptionally well on the PSAT, was another one of the many funds which gave aid only to a select group of student’s who met the requirements. Also, Classical had its own funds set aside for students who needed aid. To be considered for any of these scholarships, a student filled out an FAF, financial aid form. This form consisted of various questions that were directed toward the student’s background and economic status. Officials determined from this information as to whether or not the student real- “| won the scholarship!” exclaims senior Liz Friedman. ly deserved financial assistance. Luckily many Classical students received the scholarships that they had wanted and were able to overcome the financial obstacles that had al- most kept them from pursuing their college edu- cation.

This means a tremendous savings in money that they would normally spend on movie and sport events. The Institutional System provided by the Cable T.V. net- work will be able to provide several invaluable services that will be available to many foundations, including the Spring- field School System. Live and videotaped programs could be transmitted from many establishments in Springfield, including City Hall, var- ious museums, the School Department, and all public and private schools, as well as the City Library and its branches, into viewers homes. The Cable Institutional Program could also benefit the School Department and its computer system. For example, Commerce High School, which at the present moment uses only two computer terminals, could use the Cable Institution- al Computer and expand as well as enhance their curriculum. With the Cable Institutional System, several channels could also be allocated for use in classrooms. This would enabie different classrooms to communicate with each other, not only on an audio level, but on a visual level as well. Lectures given by important government officials, reporters, and oth- er newsmakers could also be transmitted over the system. These lectures would enable students to have a greater un- derstanding of current events, and of the judicial system. Bi-directional Cable could be used to connect different schools. New courses could then be shared by students from the connected schools, and teachers would be able to discuss their problems, as well as new ideas. All of these possibilities and more will be available to the Springfield School Department and the residents of Spring- field, with the advent of Cable T.V. Whether or not the School Department puts all or some of the programs into use is still questionable. Cable T.V. can be used not only as a source of entertainment, but also as a vital educational tool to all the residents of Springfield.

Education Mrs. Shirley Taylor-Reading Dr. William Thayer-English It was Oliver’s thirty-seventh absence from Classical, it was only the second marking term, and poor Oliver had no excuse for his alleged days off. “If only the new attendance policy hadn't started then maybe I'd be able to graduate this year.’’ moaned Oli- ver. Many seniors like Oliver and a number of underclassmen were forced to attend their class or they wouldn't receive credit for them. The attendance policy was in- stituted this year to get students back in the classroom. Each stu- dents was only allowed to miss 20% of the year. The few excep- tions were brought to the appeals committee. The appeals commit- tee was comprised of students, teachers, and various adminis- Mr. David Stratton-Physical Mrs. Audrey Szlachetka- Science trative representatives. The students had mixed feel- ings about the attendance policy. Some thought it was a waste of time. These usually were the stu- dents who decided to take days off for no apparent reason. The majority of students thought the policy was a good idea because they didn’t think it was fair for the delinquent students to get credit for classes they seldom at- tended. In spite of a few problems, most students obeyed policy rules. By so doing, students found that they had a successful year.

Under the direction of class officers: Sam Bradley, President; Dion Woods, Vice President; Tracy D’agostino, Secretary; and Greg McKnight, Treasurer; the Junior Class pushed ahead with spirit and high hopes, which made for a fantastic junior year. The juniors worked together with the Senior Class to help raise money for class functions, such as the junior and senior proms and beach trips. Some of the scheduled events were: a fall rally, numerous carnation sales, and Blue White Days. Due to the hard work, a large amount of money was raised. All of the officers agreed that raising the money was difficult, but they also felt that the class of ’84 “did it with ease.” The advisers for the Junior Class, Mr. Finkelstein, Mrs. Mazzei, Miss Weiss- brod, and Mr. Christi, played a major role in getting the class together for fund raisers, and they proved to be very dependable throughout this year. They did a fine job in motivating the whole class to get involved with their activities. The officers and representatives this year were a cut above the rest. They were capable of handling their responsibilities to their Junior Class, as well as keeping up with the challenge of being hardworking students themselves. The class officers of 84 proved to be such a success that their senior year President, Sam Bradley- “Being Preside tieal ameiateenan should go off without a hitch! of leadership and responsibility.” Vice President, Dion Woods- “By working together, Secretary, Tracy D’Agostino- Involvement is the key Treasurer, Greg McKnight- “Raising money isn’t success can be easily obtained.” to sucess.” easy, but the class of ’84 can do it with hard work.” Representatives: Kelly Baptiste, Ellen Gurland, Karen McGibney, Kelly Carlin, Paula Robie 116 Juniors SBSBSBS BS BS ES ES BS SBS SEES ROOM B-8: FRONT-Theresa Albano, Whitney Armour, Denise Acevedo, Deirdre Anderson, Dawn Barnett, Lucia Arrastia, Carmen Barreto ROW I-Mr. Thayer, Anthony Amato, James Bar- bieri, Timothy Baker, David Baker, Ana Aza- hares ROW 2-Nicholas Berliner, Thomas Abra- hamson, Charles Baldwin, Maurice Baker, John Anderson, Micheal Babineau, Kevin Barry SES BA BSS BA BENS ES ES ES ES BS BES SSS BSS LS YS ES LS ES ES EES ESS XK ROOM I11: FRONT-William Canney, Kimberly Busha, Tracy Butler, Kelly Carlin, Donica Burns, Wendy Calderon, Mr. Stratton ROW 1-Darryl Caulton, Paul Calcasola, Cythia Brown, Kimberly Caldwell, Karen Capone, Karen Cyr, Earl Carter ROW 2-David Castonguay, Scott Bushey, Wil- liam Burgeson, Fredrick Burton, Hugh Curran, William Canavan, Kevin Campbell SSIS ES US ES LES SS SS ESS ES LSS SS SE Above: “Anyone have any Pepto-Bismol?” Right: Cathy D’Agostino says “Hi there!” SEEN BS 5S LON LES ES SS ESS EES SS SS SS ESS ROOM B-13: FRONT-Laura Beaulieu, Tammy Bowers, Laura Bresky, Pam Bartos, Sandra Boni- to, Lorna Beauchemin ROW 1|-Richard Brock, Robert Bessone, Claire Behnk, Suzanne Brodecki, Robert Brown, Joseph Birkner ROW 2-Joel Breuer, David Boston, Sherri Guidi, John Bolduc, Raymond Bessey, Ernest Boratgis, Eric Berg- strom ABSENT-Cleon Beville, James Browning, Mark Belucci RITR SK NOK NTE IK NKR IK SE SR SR RSE: Above: One student passes the time.

SS LES ISS LSS ISS ISS ISS ESS LSS ESS LSS YES LSS F What Being a junior was a lot of fun, but along with the fun came responsibility. The junior year in Classical was a crucial one because maintaining good grades was important for college bound students. There were also many other responsibilities included this year. One very big responsibility of the ju- niors was taking the PSAT(Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test). Juniors were not required to take this, but they were urged to do so if they were interested in doing well on the SAT(Scholastic Aptitude Test). The test was held on the twenty-third of Octo- ber, and many students participated. Another responsibility that juniors faced, was the dreaded term paper. This was ex- pected of all juniors if they hoped to receive a high school diploma in the college prepara- tory program. The term paper, usually as- signed by the English department, took a great deal of time and effort. First a topic had to be selected, then came numerous trips to the library to find books with infor- mation on the desired topic. After this, there was the job of taking notes on 5” by 7” l8 Juniors A Year! index cards. Following this was the con- struction of an outline, while all the English teachers kept yelling, “watch out for parallel structure!” The writing of the rough draft required a compiling of information into a more organized form. Finally after the rough draft was revised and proofread for errors, it was ready to be typed with margins, foot- notes, and a bibliography! Arg! Completing a term paper had to be the most gruelling responsibility in any juniors life. In addition to term papers and PSAT’s, juniors were responsible for their future. They had to be sure to carefully select the courses that would prepare them for similar college courses. What happened if a student didn’t have anything special that he or she wanted to do with their life? How did they know which subjects to choose? Eleventh grade wasn’t the last year to decided on a career choice. Many juniors were instead kept busy by the demands of schoolwork, driving lessons, and occassional after school jobs.

These people just did not bother buying any of the school items to keep as remembrances. There were so many items to purchase in school, that your head would spin just think- ing about them. There were the Classical sweatshirts, shorts, and T-shirts which many students enjoyed buying so that they could show everyone that they attended the best school. And don’t forget the buttons and pennants which decorated your room. And who can forget the pom-poms that Classical students waved around at the foot- ball games and pep rallies, naturally showing off their school spirit? However, there were some students who preferred items of greater value which they could treasure in the years to come, such as class rings. The prices may have been a bit high, but wasn’t it worth it to have some- thing which you knew you wouldn't outgrow, and that would last a lifetime? Another valu- able item that added to the souvenir collec- tion was the annual yearbook. This is where you turn years from now to really relive the “good ‘ole days.” You'll probably say to yourself, “What a terrible picture of me!”’ or, “I can’t believe how much | liked him!” But, all in all, those pictures will mean a lot. Of course there were the fund raisers which collected large amounts of money from students, and teachers. While you were trying to support a friend from the band by buying a poster from her, another friend from a club asked you to buy a towel calender. How could you resist? Besides, not only did it give you something to treasure, but it helped out your class as well. Buying these momentos helped a person to really hold on to the good times and save something special for the future.

Attending high school helped us to develop both academic and social skills. Not only did we learn to master the basics of reading, writing, and arithmetic, but we also learned to broaden our cultural awareness. One of the most important resources from which we tapped our knowledge was from that of our fellow students who helped us to grow. Meeting new people with abili- ties that differed from that of our own en- abled us to keep an open mind. We learned to expand our thoughts in diverse direc- tions. This was possible because some of us were fortunate enough to have come in con- tact with people who had something special to offer. These were fellow classmates who possessed a certain unique talent that en- riched our lives. From artists to pianists, within the class- rooms of Classical, gifted students prac- ticed their skills under the supervision of supportive teachers from the music, english, art, and drama departments to name a few. 122. Juniors It is hard to pinpoint the term “talent” because it can take shape in many forms. There were students who were gifted writ- ers, singers, musicians, and actors for exam- ple. The important thing to remember is that these people made a contribution which en- riched our lives and society itself by sharing themselves with us. Above: Mr. Christie’s child prodigies.

CLASS OF 1985 On September 8, 1982, as the doors at Classical High School opened for the first time since summer vacation, many sophomores, unfamiliar to high school activities, entered Classical with much anticipation. Unlike the seniors and juniors, the sophomores’ main concern was not of their graduation or their junior prom, but of fulfilling their school expectations. Sophomores, this past year, had it a little harder than previous classes because the schedule had been changed. There were seven classes daily, instead of six; each was forty-two minutes long with three minutes to transfer from one class to another, making it difficult for student government members to get together. Although the sophomores had a disadvantage, they also were at an advantage. Unlike the senior and junior class officers, who have limited time to raise funds for their prom and banquet, the sophomore class officers had more time to raise funds throughout the entire year. The sophomore class officers had Mrs. Kelly, Mr. Denis and Mrs. Derochers as advi sers to help them through the hard times. President, June Spencer- “With sufficient class participa- tion, we can overcome all things!” a Vice-President, Janeen Kirkpatrick- “To be the best, Secretary, Sherry Figal- “My ambition is to make the Treasurer, Dave Horowitz- “ want to make this class we have to work together!” ‘class of 85’ the best ever.” unforgettablel Representatives: Chris Meyers, Mike Martin, Mike Stepanien, Ellen Moriarty, Chris Keough, Theresa Guillemette, Charles Lester Sophomores 125 IR SR IIE SR Sh Sh SSR SR GR IR IRSA ROOM 225: FRONT- Scott Abar, Pamela Batiste, Sean Batiste, Mr. Girr.

SS ES ISS ESS SS YES ESS ESS ESS ESS ESS YES YES SD The Big Change When someone stated, “To each his own,” he may not have been referring to anything in particular. This saying suited the sophomore class perfectly. On Septem- ber 9, 1982, a large number of sophomore students entered Classical with mixed views of their past and present situations. Some entered Classical in amazement at the enormity of the building, the amount of stu- dents, and more importantly, at the volume of homework they were expected to do each night. For others, this experience wasn’t anything extraordinary. Many stu- dents felt as though they were better off in junior high school, where there was a similar atmosphere of overcrowded classes, but where they were not looked down upon by the juniors and seniors. They had been con- sidered numero uno, the top honchos of their entire school. These students had been given a taste of freedom and now they were at the bottom of the barrel having to fight their way to the top. There were those who just didn’t worry as long as they managed to pass into the next grade. When asked her opinion of Classical and the difference between Classical and her junior high school, sophomore Christine Brown, replied, “I like the people and classes, but the atmosphere, as far as the building is concerned, leaves plenty to be desired.” Of course, everyone expressed different views, but when it came down to it, Classical was their only choice and they never regretted it. Some think that sopho- mores were unconcerned about their school year, but they worked hard to make the adjustment to high school, a successful one. They made it their business to do what was expected of them, but often their mind was somewhere else. Being sophomores, they weren't very interested in proms or gradu- ations, and often envied the upperclassmen, whose attention was focused on their future class activities. Sophomores turned their attention to their immediate plans for that evening, whether it may have been meeting with their friends, enjoying their favorite hob- bies, or just relaxing. This was where their thoughts sometimes drifted during school. Then they were suddenly brought back to reality by their teachers calling on them in cla'is. Despite the struggles and even the goc d times, their sophomore year didn't last lon2 before all of the sophomores had be- corne juniors with a whole new set of chal- lenges to face.

It seemed to hit you sophomores the hardest because coming from junior high, you weren't used to it. On Monday, you dragged your body into Classical, exhausted from your eventful weekend and just not up to facing another day of school. On Tuesday things were a bit better. By then you had an idea of what your week would be like and were able to accept the fact that you had three more days to go, not to mention the fact you had piles of books to read and tons of papers to write. Wednesday was the middle of the week and made the weekend seem so close, and yet it was so far. It was good to have two days behind you. Thursday, was considered both a good day and a bad day. It was bad 128 Sophomores because it was the last review day before your weekend was to begin. At last it was Friday. All your tests were over and it was the last period of the day. You were sitting in class daydreaming of how your weekend would be.

The fact is that out of the ten school months, seven are fall and winter seasons. A mere fifteen-minute wait at the bus stop in the morning turned into a very un- pleasant experience. After coming straight from your warm and comfortable bed, the below zero temperatures outside weren't too inviting. Of course, when this mild trauma was fol- lowed by thoughts of several more hours of class, spirits tended to sink even lower. However, all of us seemed, by some miracle, to survive those arctic excursions and little by little, Mother Nature grew milder. Then, Spring arrived once more, the time of year that tempted us all with previews of summer dreams. Long days spent inside of the stuffy, old school building were tortur- ous. As you sat in English class, only half listen- ing, outside the sun was shining and a co ol breeze, heavily scented with spring drifted in through the open windows. Soon your thoughts began to wander even farther from textbooks and chalkboards. In front of the school, girls with dark tans stretched out on the green grass and boys in shorts and tee-shirts sat around drinking coke. The cars flew past, with windows open, and radios shouting echoes of your favorite songs. Visions of warm beach sand reflected off crystal cool water, spun in your head. Your heart would beat faster contemplating pic- nics and long awaited vacations. Daydreams of long, golden days, and cool, starry nights, seemed to melt away the hours. Suddenly, the 2:10 bell rang as you snapped back into reality and dashed through the halls ... Freedom!

Elizabeth Cardona from Chesnut Jr. High was elected president. Julian Pellegrino, formerly of Our Lady of Hope, was elected to the position of vice- president. The new secretary was Faith Kampter, who spent her seventh and eighth grade years at Forest Park. This year’s treasurer was Chris Latham of Kennedy Junior High. The member-at-large office was held by Angela Vickers from Duggan. The Freshmen representatives were Dedria Andrews and Clara Ali both of Kiley. Through their work, these six people hope to make their class a vital part of Classical. Being the new kids on the block, the Freshman Class felt it was time to become a part of their high school. The election had helped them get into the rhythm and understand the responsibilities of high school life. As a unit, the officers were ready and willing to take an active role. Two other goals were to raise class spirit and funds so that their high school years could be enjoyable ones. With the support of the Freshman Class itself, the officers led their class through a successful year.

They were unsure whether to be scared or joyous about finally leaving junior high and coming to high school. There was the fear that they would not be liked or not make friends. It was a new ex- perience being in the huge, old Classical building. Freshmen were strangers to the different rules and the enormous student population. The first day was quite a learn- ing experience. Contrary to the feelings of insecurity and inadequacy, there were also feelings of ma- turity and independence. The new freshmen were not subject to the watchful eye of ju- nior high teachers anymore. Now at high school, the teachers placed more responsi- bility on the students’ part. Another enjoy- able aspect was the mixed classes. Fresh- men were able to talk with the sophomores, juniors, and seniors when they normally would not have the chance. The more de- manding expectations of school life were easily accepted by the freshmen who learned to adapt and cope with their new environment. Freshmen year had its good side and its bad side because it was such a major adjust- ment to make. Overall, the first year at Clas- sical High School was a valuable and memo- rable one.

Underneath It All Classical stands majestically on a hill, her beauty marred by time. Pollution has dulled the yellow brick exterior. The interior is a dismal place of peeling paint, broken floor tiles, and falling plaster. Most people fail to notice the beautiful and unusual architectur- al details that are reminders of Classical’s long history. The marble slabs near rooms II2 and 224 are easily overlooked. They are engraved with the names of the winners of the Mar- ble-Tablet award — an award for the best debator in the Classical Senate. The names were engraved from 1908 until 1976, when the competition was discontinued. Scattered throughout the old Jr. High sec- tion of Classical, displayed on the windows above classroom doors are _ silhouettes. Scenes of queens, fish, and pilgrims are in- tricately done in detail. They were designed by an art teacher, Elinor Wilcox, and her eighth and ninth grade students, during the Depression. The designs were then given to a man, Mr. Brown, an artist with the WPA, 136 Freshmen who cut them out of metal. Behind the stage in the auditorium, there is a mural, painted by Edwin Howlan Blash- field in 1900. It is rather imaginative in that it depicts Pilgrims, Indians, and Greek god- desses. The colors are still vibrant and the painting remains preserved. It adds life to an otherwise dark and dreary auditorium. Throughout the school, the graceful and beautiful staircases are wonderful to look at. The pillisters are twisted wrought iron with curly designs at the top. The banisters are polished wood. The back of each stair is an open grating also of wrought iron. The slate stairs have been worn with time by thou- sands of students. Outside, the ornate designs that were popular in the 1800's are in abundance on the front of the building. Winged angels guard the door. Near the roof-line are lions’ heads, protecting the building. They are carved in cement. All of the architectural features add a unique charm to Classical. £ SSK SR SR SSR SE SRR SRS SRA ISAS.

Many were not aware of the various activities in which they were able to partici- pate. Classical was equipped with eight special homerooms that were set aside for the inter- est of the students and the school. Each one of these homerooms had different responsi- bilities that were carried out each year by the eager and able members. As one walked through the halls of Classi- cal, the signs of each special homeroom were evident. At certain times during the day, there would be a number of sounds that emerged from each homeroom. Examples of this were the singing, as one passed The Madrigal Homeroom and the sound of voices practicing their lines in B-I4, The Drama Homeroom. Anyone with enough enthusiasm and time to be a part of the school in someway, usually became interested in joining one of the spe- cial homerooms. For instance, people who were interested in photography and had jour- nalism skills, were sure to be interested in 311-A, The Recorder homeroom. Also, The Blue White, Classical’s year- book, offered juniors who possessed a knack for creative writing and design, a chance to show off their skills. The business aspect of the yearbook, which involved seeking adver- tisements to sponsor the publication, joined room 223, The Blue White Business home- room. In 205, The Audio Visual Aide home- room, a student was able to work with techni- cal equipment such as tape recorders, projec- tors and phonographs. For anyone who had a talent for singing and enjoyed acting, there were homerooms 101, Madrigal and B-14, Drama. In rooms II9 and 124, one could find The Student Patrol homerooms whose distinc- tive members helped the school run smoothly. The Coffee Shop, room 126, sold refreshments in the morning to students. In order for these special homerooms to succeed, dedicated, re- sponsible students were essential.

Even though they did not win their division as expected, the 198I-82 Classical Baseball team maintained the tradi- tion of sportsmanship at Classical. Finishing the season with a re- cord of four wins and ten losses, Coach Ligarski admitted he was a little disappointed. “We had a lot of bad breaks which hurt our season,” stated Coach Ligarski. An obvious handicap to the team was the effect of Pro- position 2 42. The Bull- dogs felt the clench of 2 2 in areas rang- ing from equipment to transportation. How- ever, the biggest up- set of Prop. 2 ¥2 was the bearing it had on team size. There was no Junior Var- sity team, and the Varsity team in- creased its number of players from 13 to Ql. Coach Ligarski reasoned this was unjust because it didn’t al- low maximum playing time to the new, inexperienced members of the squad. The 1981-82 Classical Baseball team finished fifth overall in their division. Talent and experience were evident, as a majority of the team was returning starters. This included such athletes as first base- Baseball “We had a lot of bad breaks,”’ -Coach Ligarski- Playing the field man Bill Phillips, infielder George Chaclas, pitcher John Mickiewicz, and outfielder Dexter Thomas. Their skills were demonstrated many times throughout the season, especially during the Tech. vs. Clas- sical game. Both teams battled it out nine innings until Classical be- came victorious with a winning score of 10-7. Junior pitcher John Mickiewicz chalked up a no-hitter against West Springfield, Rich Valentini led the team with three homeruns, and even though the Bull- dogs fell to defeat facing Chic. Comp., the Classical infield showed amazing strength as it execut- ed a double play in the eighth inning which prevented the opposi- tion from gaining a bigger lead. Although many members of the team were seniors, there will be some returners to the 1983 Baseball team. As Coach Ligarski put it, “Next year we can look forward toa strong team defensively, as well as offensively.” Among the returning talent, Classical finds John Mick- iewicz pitching, Neil Mack catch- ing, and Dexter Thomas, along with Peter Barrett, defending the out- field.

The 1981-82 Classical Girls’ Softball team did not have an enjoyable year, but they were able to maintain a high spirit- ed attitude. Mr. Baran stated, ‘The overall ability was not there to be competi- tive in this division.” This was true but there were those girls who did shine in the gloom of this record. The slugger on the team was Lynn Walling, who led the Bulldogs in doubles and _ triples. She often came up with the big hits when they were needed most. Outstanding defen. pot there sive plays occurred ” also. One in particular. - was a triple play against the tough Ho- lyoke team. This enabled Classical to squeeze out of a tight scoring situation. Triple plays are a rarity in softball, and Coach Baran was quite proud of the team after they ex- ecuted this defensive gem. In close competition facing our rivals, the Cathedral Panthers, the girls played hard defensively to hold our adver- saries to a slight victory. 144 Softball ‘The overall ability was The pitching was solid behind Maura Phillips, a sophomore, who did extremely well for her first year as a Varsity player. Next year Maura plans on it being totally dif- ferent as she explains, “With the team moving down a division, my competition will not be such a high level, | believe I'll do a lot better.” Proposition 242 didn’t aid the club by cutting out the Junior Varsity team, but for the upcoming season it has been reinstalled. “This should help the team,” said Coach Baran, “last year the loss of the J.V. team weakened our grooming of the players’ talent.” Mr. Baran’s hopes are high for the up- coming season. Re- turning starters like third baseman Lynn Walling, out- fielder Kris Pellegrino, pitcher -Coach Baran- Maura Phillips, and first baseman Lori Misulia, help to make the 1982- 83 team look quite promising. Coach Baran also cited that he was anxious to begin his second year of coach- ing and is hoping for a division championship.

Last year was a bit of a letdown, but our tradition was continued,’ com- mented McLaughlin. The Bulldogs finished with an out- standing record of I7-2. McLaughlin stressed the fact that the team’s overiding enthusiasm was enough to compensate for the lack of lead- ership. McLaughlin also attributed the success of the team to the large class by himself as he captured the Western Mass. shot- put title, establishing a record of 50’ 6¥%2” in the process.

Because of the tough com- petition, poor participation, and in- juries that awaited them, the 1982- 83 Classical Girls’ Gymnastic team was faced with a bleak outlook at the onset of the season. The team consisted of seven members who worked together to maintain a good team attitude despite their disappointing season. “The overall team attitude was one of true dedication and persistance,’ said Coach Desrochers. Although defeated by their com- petition, the Bulldogs did gain self- satisfaction in the gloom of their record.

As gym- nasts they were tal- ented athletes, but more important, the 1982-83 Gymnastic team represented Classical’s tradi- tion of good sportsmanship in a val- lant manner. Because the majority of the team was underclassmen, most are ex- pected to return for a much im- proved season. Now with exper- ience as a factor, the outlook for the 1983-84 season is very hopeful and anxiously awaited. Above: Mary Jo Gaspari struggles to maintain her poise on the uneven bars.

The 1982-83 Classical Football team downed Minnechaug to take the Suburban League Championship. Through hard work and determination, Clas- sical turned their hopeless O0-2-I re- cord into a 6-2-l standing, with six con secutive wins. Classical was also the first Springfield high school to make it to the Superbowl. The Bulldogs were awesomely led by a defense that was unbreakable. The defense was spearheaded by All Western Mass. nose guard Dan Cosenzi, who led the league in quarterback ee sacks. The offense was equally as potent, led by quarterback Dex- ter Thomas. Their best attack on the field, however, was their running game. This was led by Darryl Caulton, a 1000 yard gainer over the season, Gary Hunter, and Tony Gee. As Mr. McLaughlin pointed out, much cred- it is due to an “outstanding offen- sive line.” These men down in the trenches were Byron Smith, Martin Horne, John O’Brien, Erik Nesbitt and Scott Speaks. Classical’s receiv- ers, PHil Pike and Russell Thompson, were deadly threats to their adver- saries. Classical had a very talented team this year with six first team All Western Mass. players and two game. definitely the most exciting Deoach McLaughlin- oft second team All Western Mass. players. The first team included nose guard Dan Cosenzi, halfback Darryl! Caulton, defensive end Ger- ry Danielle and half back Dexter Thomas, offensive end Phil Pike, and offensive guard Martin Horne. Second team honors went to split end Russell Thompson, and offen- sive tackle Scott Speaks. Next year Classical will be well off in terms of the team. Along with Classical’s entire backfield, eight other players will be returning. McLaughlin attributed this year’s results to the team’s discipline and dedica- tion, and believes that next year’s team will be just as successful. Although Classical made it to the Super- bowl, they lost to Ho- 7. However, they were able to beat Minnechaug for the Suburban League Championship. Classical withheld Minnechaug’s high-powered offense to eliminate them 14-8 in the front of 4000 spec- tators. “This was definitely the most exciting game of the season,” explained McLaughlin. It marked the second time Classical has won the Suburban Championship in three years.

Such was the case of the 1982-193 Classical Boys’ Soccer team. Enthusiastically coached by Dave Stratton, the team finished with a record of 5-7-3. Although this was the Bulldogs’ first losing season since Stratton started coaching, coach Stratton stressed the fact that the ’82-83 season was ‘enjoyable for blessing in also added that it was the “happiest moment of the season.” The Bulldogs were fortunate enough to have had an enormous supply of talent on the team, which should prove beneficial in future seasons.

The ’82-83 season began poorly for the Bulldogs, as they lost the first few games. In spite of their poor start, however, the team re- bounded and managed to finish the rest of the season in good standing.

Classical’s 1982-83 Cross Country team had their prac- tice field in Forest Park moved, without Coach Paul Reiker’s knowl- edge, and many runners who had made previous team commitments, forfeited their positions for part- sprints to build endurance, stretch- ing before and after practice ses- sions and eight to ten mile runs to cut down the runner’s time. Although the team’s 2-8 record was a disappointing one, victories with against Holyoke and Westfield, they at least had the opportunity to time jobs.

Coach Paul Reiker stressed that a winning team needs a positive atti- tude in order to succeed, and he felt that his team failed to have one. Next year’s outlook is uncertain be- cause he feels that a team’s career depends heavily upon its members. Only next year’s prospective team members will be an indicator of what the team’s promise will be.

While some of us will be remaining to complete our education at Classical many of us will be leaving to go on to college or seeking opportunities in the ever fluctuating job-market. We have prepared ourselves for the “real world” during our twelve years at Classical and most intensely these past four at school. These last, confusing four years have taught us the most. During these years at Classical we have strived to reach the height of our ability. We can pat ourselves on the back because we, as seniors, have survived numerous schedule changes, seemingly end- less homework assignments, lunches in the cafeteria as well as the three minutes allotted to us during the change of class. During this year the voters of Springfield decided to give us another high school in place of the decrepit but ever majestic Classical building. Once again our athletic teams were the source of insur- mountable school pride as they trod upon opponents and were crowned victorious. Along with the sports teams of Classical, the Drama Club and bands put on dazzling perfor- mances while many successful carnation sales not only pro- moted school spirit but the spirit of sharing with our fellow man as the proceeds benefitted someone in need. Our confusing year has come to a close and it is with bittersweet memories that we remember all the special times shared with our friends. These friends helped to carry us through this chaotic time and unknowingly altered our lives. During this past confu sing year we have sought to know and as time passes on we will always seek to know. Our curiosity will never be satisfied. Though the road ahead is a long and sometimes difficult one the confidence we have developed at Classical will get us through and allow us to survive the obstacles that face us. Until we meet again it will have to be the wonderful memories we have of one another that we will cherish. Left: Cindy Orne, Tony Lalakos, and Lenny are glad that their last class is finally over.
