What will the future of Classical High School be? Where will the memories of Springfield’s first high school lead from here? The many memories and legends held within the walls of the old and decrepit building we called Classical High School are carried on by the real Classical High School- the students. The class of 1986 exemplified the determination and talent that Classical graduates had had throughout its long and glorious history. This determination and talent will keep Classical alive forever. : Through the use of “The Final Edition”, of the Blue White, we on the Yearbook staff will show through words and pictures that Classical High School lives on, thanks to the Class of ’86. Through these pages in the final chapter of Classical High School’s history, you’ll find out why the Class of ’86 shone through as the most special class to emerge from Classical High School. The Class of ’86 not only carried on the tradition of academic excel- lence at Classical, but also stood out in athletes, school spirit, and community support. As you look through this yearbook, remember the football games at which you cheered the Bulldogs on to victory, re- member the dance at which you first met your old boyfriend or girl- friend, and smile at the thoughts of the activities you participated in. Each student you'll read about or see in this yearbook was special in his or her own way. He or she may have been the outstanding scholar, the tremendous athlete, or the one with the reassuring smile. We on The Blue White staff depicted these individuals, as well as the Class of ’86 as a whole, in words and pictures. When you pick up this book, don’t just remember the spectacular events, but think about the great times spent with friends, and reminisce about those outstanding indivi- duals who touched you in their own special ways. We also showed the effects that Classical students had on the school as a whole. You may look back on the class officers who carried your class through thick and thin. You may look back on the outstanding goalie who lifted Classical’s soccer team to new heights. Or, you may look back on the class as a whole-the class that many will remember as the final and most outstanding class to graduate from Classical High School. Each person will hold different memories of Classical High School. Some will remember it as the place where he or she spent the best years of his or her life, the place where everlasting friends were made, or the building block to success. But you have the advantage of re- membering Classical in a unique way-looking at the “Final Edition” of The Blue White. So, as you browse through these pages, you may have different memories than those of your friends, but each memory is Special in its own way. Relive these memories as you look through this book. Enjoy Classical’s final publication. There may not be a Clas- sical High School building, but Classical High School people and memories live on. “Even though this yearbook may fade with age, the memories it holds never will.” Mary Kate LeDoux, Kristin Donahue, Kara Haseltine, and Jennifer Crianza show the closeness of Classical friendship.

What is this wonderful yet strange emotion that puts your mind in a fantasy world of its own? Why is it that you find your starry-eyed self constantly daydreaming and sighing about how beautiful everything seems to be? Could this be love? More than likely, it is!!! There are tell-tale signs which clearly indicate that you have fallen victim to that elusive emotion known as love. For instance, you know that you’re smitten when: You start to worship the very ground he walks on. After she rejects you for the one- hundredth time you ask her if she’s busy tonight. He belches and you think it’s “cute”. She needs to lose twenty pounds, but you insist that she’s a perfect aloe. The methods which people use to get that special boy or girl to notice them vary from the obvious to the outrageous. They range from memo- rizing his her daily schedule for “coincidental” meetings, to sticking writing utensils up one’s nose. (If that doesn’t get the desired atten- tion nothing will!)

Picture this: He sees you across the crowded cafeteria and smiles. You smile radiantly back, but you feel like an idiot when you realize that he was smiling at the girl sitting at the table behind you. Sounds familiar? Oh well ... (sigh) ... But wait!!! ...

He works his way to your side of the cafeteria and (Oh My God!) sits across from you! All the while you desperately work out that piece of lettuce with as much dignity as possible. The rest, as in any typical high school romance, is history. It is fate. It is written in the stars. It is due to a lack of tables in the crowded cafeteria ... Whatever the case, being together soon be- comes all that matters. Eventually, the “crushes” and the infatuations that, at the time, seemed to be the most important part of our high school existence pass and fade as we fell in and out of love.

Features ty a i =—= HIGH SPIRITS School spirit is not an easy phrase to describe effectively in a few words. In general terms, it is a willingness to participate in school activities and to fulfill one’s potential as a student at Classical High School. It is a sense of belonging to a legitimate organization and a feeling of pride when someone asks: “What school do you go to?” By reading this very yearbook, one shows a certain degree of pride towards his or her school. School:spirit is a lighter degree of patriotism that bonds all stu- dents to a common feeling of companionship in and outside of the school. By attending football games, participating in class fun- draisers and activities, taking part in rallies, and working along with each other, Classical students have represented their school with great enthusiasm. By showing our school spirit, we have won the respect of the city, as well as the respect of other high schools in the area. Morale is an important part of school spirit. It has it’s ups and downs during each school year, according to the ability of Classical’s sports teams, music groups, and other clubs that represent Classical in regional, as well as national competitions. School spirit has kept up the long standing tradition of academic excellence which distinguishes Classical on a national level. Every marking period, more and more students are striving to get better grades in order to keep up with Classical’s standards. The ability to represent Classical with pride and good taste is a reflection to others, showing the positive effects that Classical has on the students here. School spirit is the force that promotes this well-standing relation- ship between Classical and the citizens of Springfield. And as the school year winds down, the Seniors graduate, and friends will part for the last tire in order to face new challenges, Schoo] spirit will leave an empty space in all of us as Classical High school closes it’s doors on an era that will be remembered for years Roger Gove “gets into the groove” and lifts his voice to come. . in support of his school. pe e S __ a % : iY = et el : = ' Mr. Pringle is always ready to show his school spirit, “rain or shine”.

Student Life 13 St nt Well, September rolled around, as it always does, after a much-too- short summer of beaches and parties. Because of unfavorable weather (Remember Hurricane Gloria and the early October frost?), and limit- ed free time, beaches became far less popular during school than they had been in June, July, and August. But parties didn’t depend on weather, and somehow we always found time for them. In September, the old crowd got together to celebrate seeing each other again, moving up a grade, and having had a wonderful summer. Some of us talked and laughed, some took pictures, some danced, and some even fell back “in love” with the “creeps” we’d given up for the. summer. We played a few new games, played a few old games, played some new songs, and played some old songs. Overall, the party was fun, though somewhat depressing: summer was over. One friend decided that two months could not pass by without a party and, with Halloween as an excuse, had a costume party. The same crowd played music and danced, and a few even did the limbo in costume. . As each holiday came up, a new excuse to have a party was formed. At Christmas, we got together and exchanged gifts. On New Year’s Eve, we counted down ’til midnight. In April, we had a spring vacation. party. Some parties had themes, such as toga parties and. Hawaiian parties. For some parties there were no specific occasions to celebrate, just a desire to have fun. At last, June approached. Graduation and summer approached. Fin- als approached, too. But even terror over the upcoming finals didn’t stop the group from partying. The seniors had their after-the-prom parties, passing-the-finals parties, and graduation parties. The juniors had their “becoming-seniors” parties. Everyone partied. But then, after a year of constant hard work without any fun, everyone deserved to party.

I know that history is not one of your favorite words right now; I under- stand. But really, this section is impor- tant. It has a special reason for being here. The history section is, in a sense, a memorial to our closing school. This was a very special year for all of us, and Clas- sical has always been a very special school. This section is designed to explain how we have been special over the past ninety years. But, although the history section deals with the past, don’t be surprised to see a few familiar faces. It is not only the teachers and students from 1897 to 1985 that made Classical great, but also the students of 1986. We, as Classical stu- dents, share a trait with all the students of the past: we have spent our high school days in the most run-down, dusty, special old school there is. Aithough we com- plain about its appearance, Classical will always remain a part of each student’s memory because each of us was a part of it. Ninety years of teenage memories echo in its halls. I think that ours have been the best. So enjoy the history sec- tion that follows: you may find that the past has been only a prologue to the best years of your life. -Nancy Kienzler History Editor CLP si anne Saaeue History i il Teenagers gather outside of Classical to so- cialize. In 1897 a new school was built. The city celebrated the opening of Central High School. The principal, Mr. Atkinson, stressed practical courses such as Latin, math and English. With the opening of the school came the- promise of a new era. Students were happy to be getting a new building and a new start for a better education; it was a privilege and an honor to be attending Central High. They had never seen such a beautiful build- ing with such modern materials. Between the years 1897 and 1926 life was simple. During this time, families were large and money was hard to come by. The Spanish-Ameri can War and World War I shook America and the rest of the world during these years. The young people of this time were very patriotic and felt pride for America while these wars were going on. When a girl became a teenager, she would often leave home in search of a job or a husband to support her. Boys would often join the military to earn money. Families at this time were very close, making it hard for a child to leave home. As times grew harder, jobs became scarce. Many parents sent their children to work in factories, at a time when there were no child labor laws. Truant officers tried to put strict control on this and would check on any child out for a long time to see whether or not they were working. Many teenagers considered going to school a privilege which they preferred over working. Teenaged girls could espe- cially consider themselves privileged to still be in school because males played the dominant role in the society. Young people were wearing new fashion trends that came about in the early 1900’s. History ABOVE: The suave, sleek look for hair was in for young boys. BELOW: Florence Ellenor Peters seen here in her senior year, (bottom). For young ladies, long, pulled up hair was very fashionable. For the girls, the hour-glass figure was in. To achieve this affect they wore corsets. Most young girls had long braided hair. Boys were considered to be healthy if they had a “beefy” look. They wore cotton or wool trousers, suspenders, and dress shirts. As well as new fashion trends, new be- liefs, inventions, and fads came about in this period. Ice skating was popular, as was the new trend of cycling. Some felt the inven- tion of moving pictures caused the erosion of moral values and a de-emphasis on family life. Teenagers began to develop movie idols, such as Charlie Chaplin. The movie houses, called Nickelodeons, charged ad- mission prices of five cents. The invention of the radio also had a tremendous effect on the family. Being a new source of entertain- ment, it brought neighbors to the houses of those who were wealthy enough to own a radio. As the years went by, young people were getting away from the house a lot more. On Sundays, teenagers could be found in For- est Park on canoe rides, playing baseball in the streets, or making maypoles, taffy, bas- kets, and daisy chains. The young people of this time found such simple things enjoy- able. More and more, students were joining such groups as the Boy Scouts, The Camp Fire Girls, or bicycle clubs. With the influx of all the immigrants came prejudice. Catholics and Blacks were denied things like entrance to a building. Signs could be read saying, “No Irish Al- lowed”. At times people could not get jobs because of their nationalities. In the 1920’s more jobs began to become available. This was due to the Ford-inspired idea of the assembly line. Things were be- ginning to look up for the American popula- tion. ABOVE: A popular hang-out, Brunswick Al- lies. RIGHT: The Classical Mandolin Club of 1915.

Though not every Classical graduate has gone on to become a notable public figure, there are many who used their talents and their education to make a name for them- selves in this world. Quite a few local politicans have graduat- ed from Classical. State senators Linda Mel- conian and Martin Reilly attended this school, as did former state senator Alan Si- sitsky. At least three former Springfield mayors graduated from Classical: Tom 0’Connor, Charles Ryan (1944), and Frank Freedman (1942), who went on to become a federal judge. Congressman Edward Boland received his diploma from Classical in 1928. Not all noteworthy Classical graduates entered politics; entertainment is another field in which our school is well-represent- ed. Adele Addison (1942) became an opera singer and a star in the musical “Porgy and Bess.” Joan Goodman has become a familiar name in television news broadcasting. Be- hind the scenes in Hollywood, two Classical graduates are responsible for producing the movies and television shows that entertain us: David Garber is a producer, and Ashley Boone is an executive at Twentieth Century Fox. History former mayor, class of 1944. Classical has even produced a world champion sprinter: Howard Drew attained this sports honor in the 100 yard sprint- dash. Several noted writers attended Classical. Newspaper reporter Zedra Aranow gradu- ated from this school. William Manchester (1940), who is a renowned author and histo- rian, and is currently in residence at Wes- leyan University, also graduated from Clas- sical. But perhaps the best-known writer to attend Classical was Theodor Geisel (1920%), who is popularly known as Dr. Seuss. One last Classical graduate who gained a certain degree of notoriety during the 1960’s as a drug guru was Timothy Leary (1938), who was the chemist responsible for the creation of LSD. There are numerous other Classical alum- nae who have achieved exceptional goals. As Classical ends its tradition of producing politicians, entertainers, sports figures, writers, and other outstanding citizens, Central High School begins a similar tradi- tion of its own. © ABOVE: Timothy Leary, drug guru of the 1960’s, class of 1938.

The High School in Springfield has changed its name a number of times. Once it was “The High School’, then ‘Springfield High School”, “Central High School”, and finally, ‘““‘Classical High School” in 1934. The atmosphere, however, has remained un- changed, as has its goal of educating young people. Not only has the school changed, but so has its appearance. Many of the changes the building has gone through are apparent. In the late 1800’s and early 1900’s, Classical was an ex- tremely modern school. There were gas lights in the halls and lampposts in the foy- er. The floors were sparkling clean. There were also glass doors at the entrance. But, of course, the building has aged over the past 90 years and has gone through a lot of water and wear that has forced the removal of some of these things. In the basement, to the left of the boys’ room, is the janitor’s office, which was once an aquarium. The aquarium was quite large and was used for biological studies. Another modern privilege similar to the aquarium was the observatory, which was located in the attic. The observatory had several mi- croscopes available for the students’ use. Room 211, currently Mr. Ligarski’s com- puter room, was once the location of the school library. The back of today’s library was a classroom, and the front portion was a study hall. This study hall was for use by girls only. The boys had their own study History years. (bottom) hall on the first floor. This type of separa- tion of boys from girls wasn’t an unusual occurence. Hach morning, the boys entered from the east entrance and the girls from the west entrance. Their recreation rooms were also separated. Room 323, which is now the big study hall, was once a huge lecture room. The room was furnished with tiers of seats and large demonstration tables. Also on the third floor, across from room 316, there is a room which is now deteriorated, but was a greenhouse. Here, plants were grown for the use of the science classes. Another asset to the students of Classical was the annex. It was located near Techni- cal High School and was used until 1980. It served as extra space for Classical’s stu- dents until the classroom space in the annex was no longer needed. Finally, Classical was proud to have a magnificent piece of art as part of its build- ing. A mural entitled “The Light of Educa- tion”, which is located in the auditorium, was painted in 1910 by Robert Reid, a fam- ous New York artist, and donated to the school. It depicts Samuel Chapin educating the Indians and the settlers. Every person who attended Classical was very fortunate to attend such a beautiful school. Not only is Classical highly recog- nized for its academics, but it is one of the most beautiful and historic schools to ever exist. ABOVE: The foyer, elegantly illuminated with lamps.

History vii Viii Let’s hear it for Classical! The years 1927 to 1946 were in an era of hard times for teenagers. With the sudden stock market crash, the United States was thrown into a harsh depression. Students were forced to find jobs in order to keep up their family incomes. Despite these trou- bles, teenagers found a way to set their own styles and images for the time in which they lived. One style of the time was the preppy look: guys wearing slacks, sweaters, ties, sports coats, and shined shoes. They accentuated the “neat” look of the time by wearing their hair slicked back. The trendy girls wore full woolen skirts, sweaters, and numerous wire bracelets, similar to those popular today. Their trendy styles were highlighted by bright red lips and nails. Every girl was sure to have a shiny new penny in her pen- ny loafers, so as not to be out of place in the school. Flapper dancers were the rage of the day. History in 1929 and today. Students gathered at Classical dances to bop to the Charleston and to sway to the sounds of their idol, Frank Sinatra. There was a lot of school spirit during these times. A Classical football game or soccer game would always be crowded with screaming, supportive fans. The social uproar of this era was the new teenage fascination with cars. The particu- lar attraction of these vehicles was the rum- ble seat, which served its purpose when teenage boys went parking with their girl- friends in Forest Park. The era ended with World War II. Teen- agers were very patriotic. They had a deep respect for soldiers; some teenagers signed up to defend the United States before they were old enough to be drafted. In this era teenagers were very sincere and helpful to their families and country. These qualities in the students would continue for the years to come. TOP: Looking their best on prom night.

By the late 1940’s, most families broken up by World War II had been reunited, sparking the largest “baby-boom” the Unit- ed States had ever seen. This decade at Classical ended with a feeling of together- ness, and the teenagers of this generation shared a general sense of cameraderie. The happiness of the 1940’s carried through to the 1950’s, inspiring the begin- nings of rock and roll. Although the Korean War began in 1950, most of the teens of this time were too naive to understand the poli- tics of the war. Classical students spent most of their free time enjoying life. After classes ended for the day, the average high school student would walk to the soda-foun- tain of the nearest store, such as Breck wood Drugs or McClellan’s 5 and 10, for a cherry cola or a malt. Many young ladies would rush home to catch up on their favorite “soaps,” which were new to television in the ’50’s. In the evening, Classical teenagers would tune in to “American Bandstand”, the television show hosted by the ever-pop- ular and ever-youthful Dick Clark. The teenagers of this era stayed in shape by Driver’s Ed was the most popular class in 1948. hula-hooping, bowling, and twisting to the latest hits by Elvis, Dion, and Fabian. In the Springfield area, roller-skating at Riverside was a popular pastime. The teenagers of this decade indulged in good natured, fam- ily-oriented fun. The innocent youths of the 1950’s evolved into the politically active youths of the 1960’s. In 1963, the assassination of John F. Kennedy threw the entire country into tur- moil. Kennedy had been admired by many young people; he had served as a role mo- del, with his charisma and success acting as an inspiration for all. His death shocked and angered many people, and teenagers felt a deep sense of loss and hopelessness. The murder of President Kennedy marked the beginning of a period of great unrest and anti-establishment feelings among Ameri- can youths. Teenagers became involved in protests advocating civil rights and de- nouncing the involvement of American sol- diers in Vietnam. These students grew more independent of their families and eventually became the “hippies” of the late ’°60’s and early ’70’s. History 1x The Blue and White staff of 1960. he ee ae Throughout the years at Classical High School many things have changed, and many things have come and gone. One tra- dition, however, has always remained the same: excellence. In the students, the facul- ty, and the curriculum, there has always been a tradition of excellence that can nev- er be taken away from Classical’s reputa- tion. Classical has always turned out the best in its literary works. The Blue and White staff won high awards in 1958, 1960, and 1979-84 from the Columbia University Scholastic Press Association for an excep- tionally well-written and well-put-together yearbook. In 1947, 1961, 1967, 1968, and 1969, the Recorder staff won the same award for the photographic make-up and editorials found in its newspaper. And of course, this year Classical’s English depart- ment was commended for being a center of excellence in the nation. On another scale of excellence, our Sci- ence and Math departments have been com- mended many times for their achievements. In 1962, Classical’s physics program re- ceived high praise from Professor Roy S. Anderson, the head of the physics depart- ment at Clark University. Once in 1965 and twice in 1968, Classical won first place in the Western Mass. Mathematics League competition. In addition to getting awards in specific areas, Classical is known for turning out students who are gifted in all areas of edu- cation. For many years, students have been inducted into the William C. Hill chapter of the National Honor Society. History = ‘ Pr % ee i - ee 4 Pee ABOVE: Some members of the Recorder staff of 1968. BELOW: Ms. Regina in 1968 (top), and in 1985 (bottom). Classical has always had above-average athletes. In 1980, the Classical foofball team was named champion of the Suburban League, and was also the highest-scoring team in Western Massachusetts. The J.V. baseball team was called “‘the best in the league” by coach Keough in 1981 when it finished with a 10-1-1 winning season. Also in 1980, the track team finished with a 10-0 record. Coach McLaughlin was quoted as saying that they were “the best of the best’’. To top it all off, two years in a row, once in 1981 and again in 1982, the wres- tling team was named division champs. We can’t forget this year’s boys’ soccer team, which proudly won the Western Mass. championship. Above all else, perhaps the biggest honor that Classical High School can boast is the permanent holding of the Harvard Plaque. The Harvard Trophy was an award given out every year for ten years to the school with the largest percentage of students on the honor list for the Harvard entrance exam. At the end of the ten years, the school that won the trophy the most was to become the permanent holder of the award. Classical won the award four out of the ten years, and became permanent holder of the plaque. This award can be seen when walk- ing through the front doors of the school. It is truly an honor to be taken seriously. Classical has become quite a school dur- ing its history. We all know its reputation, and we all recognize its excellence. Maybe William C. Hill said it best in 1910 when he stated, “Classical is the best school in the solar system.” Y ABOVE: Andy Vivenzio makes another famous shot.

In the late ’60’s, individualism was “‘in’’. The big “thing” with the teenagers of that period was rebellion. There was an outpour- ing of emotion over civil and equal rights, sexual freedom, the Vietnam war, and the ever-present menace of nuclear weapons. Teenagers turned to drug abuse in an at- tempt to forget their problems, and the pop- ular music of the time dealt with peace and rebellion from traditional motives. Law was questioned extensively, and rioting was common in the big cities. At Classical, the student body demanded elective courses which held relevancy to the times. Courses such as Urban Sociology, Teenager and the Law, Latin-American his- tory, Cultural Geography, and Utopian Lit- erature were introduced. The dress code, which for decades was maintained at Classi- cal, was abruptly abolished and the ‘“‘hip- pie” look became prevalent. Participation in school activities during the early seventies was at a record low. For example: in 1971, the Classical marching band consisted of only eight members. Any achievements made during this period were done solely for the individual, and not for the benefit of others. History However, after the Vietnam war had end- ed, the attitude of the American teenager slowly began to take on a conservative tone. Racial segregation and discrimination were lessened considerably, mostly as a re- sult of the battle for civil rights. More and more, teenagers became concerned with playing an important part in society and making something of themselves. There was more of a “plan for the future” attitude, as opposed to the “live for today” way of thinking that had prevailed in the sixties. Traditional values made a comeback with the teenagers of the ’80’s. For the first time in a decade, the “Star-Spangled Banner” was played at the 1985 fall sports rally. Courses that were instituted at the height of the rebellion had faded out as a sign of the changing times. The senior early-dismissal program at Classical was reinstated after having been done away with years before. In recent years, the students attending Classical were given more credibility as re- sponsible members of society, a fact which may open the door for greater compatabi- lity between teenagers and adults in the fu- ture.

Fear because I may never see some of the people I have grown fond of ... Honor because my class will be most remembered. People will come up to me and say, “What was it like? ...’ ” At home in my room I have one bulldog, two calendars, two sweatshirts, a senior hat, four pins, a key chain, a tee shirt, and two yearbooks, all from Classical High School. Yesterday these things were just junk that I had picked up throughout my high school years during fits of extrava- gance and school spirit. Today they are a lot more because today I realize that we won’t be coming back to Classical — ever. When the seniors of other classes found themselves nostalgic, they returned to 235 State Street and found the teachers, the classes, and the places around the building that could bring back the memories of the History best days of their lives. When we want to come back, there will be no school to come back to. But, beyond the disadvantages of the closing of Classical, there lies a very good aspect to being a senior in the last class. We are special. There is no:other class that can take away our distinction of being the last class. There will be no classes in the future who can break our records because ours are set down permanently. There was, and will be, no class which has gathered up so much spirit and energy in such a short period of time as the class of 1986. There will be no other class which can hold Classical’s mem- ory so deep in its heart. For all time, we, the class of 1986, the keepers of Classical’s memory, were the last class and the best Class’ 7, ‘“.. people will know forever that I wasa senior in the last graduating class of Classi- cal High School.” ABOVE: Stacy takes one more look at the school.

XV1 The year of 1985-86 was the ‘“‘end of an era” for everyone at Classical. There was a change in attitude, and a difference could be felt in the air on the first day of school. Class after class had worked to reach the top in athletics and in academics. In 1985 and 1986, Classical’s enthusiasm to be ‘‘number one” reached its climax. As anticipated, school spirit soared. For the first time ever, Classical formed a Pep Squad consisting of fifty official members, and numerous other supporters. Every group profited from the sale of pins, bulldog mascots, sweatshirts, pompoms, and other school memorabilia. : The PTSA (Parent Teacher Student As- sociation) went all out, too. They worked as a group to actually make things happen. Their contributions in public relations and organization helped to make the Christmas concert a truly memorable experience, and the entire year a success. Classical’s auditorium stage is old, but during 1985, it saw one last performance of the Classical drama club: “Glimpses.” The Stage hadn't been used for five years, and for one last time, everyone pulled together to make it possible for the Drama Club to History perform “at home.” In the academic area, a special study skills program was introduced to help bring up grades throughout Classical. Atten- dance, too, was at a remarkable and pleas- ing high. All of Classical’s teams and organizations seemed to be putting out one-hundred per- cent of their efforts, knowing that this was their last chance to make Classical “number one,’ and it worked. Both the boys’ and girls’ soccer teams did exceptionally well. The boys made it to the All Western Mass. championships, and won the title for the first time in Classical’s history. The girls’ team got to the All Western Mass. cham- pionship playoffs, and played a super game. All in all, the 1985-1986 school year was an exciting and wonderfully different year for everyone at Classical. Those final good- bye tears were different, too. It wasn’t just the seniors who were leaving the familiar- ity of Classical behind; everyone was touched by the separation. With a few final glances back and high hopes for the future, goodbyes were wished to friends, to teach- ers, and to one of the best college-prepara- tory schools in the country. | As one flips through the following pages, he will probably haphazardly glance over the price- less memories stored therein. However, that un- concerned person should not be a senior, for these memories deserve more than a quick glance or scan. Seniors, this section is what hap- pened in your lives during your last year at Clas- sical High. The laughter, the sorrow, and the joy are portrayed by carefully-written stories and pictures, which were specifically chosen in order to help you relive those special memories of high school life. Treasure every inch of the following passages-they will be a welcome addition to your - autobiography. High school is a period of indeci- sion and insecurity for all. Senior year is a time for making some very vital decisions: which col- - lege? what profession? work? Whatever the _ choice, remember that those tough times were when we learned the most about ourselves. So don’t rush through these pages of your life- hasn’t time sped you through enough of it al- ready? -Jeannine Quinlan Seniors Editor o-2oO0-) ®M hy Clara Ali Pa eOrulandiots Stacy Arestedes 76 Noel St. Ann Barbieri 312 Page Blvd. es 4 a.

() ey AS ae They made it to being the leaders of : sicinlisieaiieaiaiia the school and the stars of the varsi- ty teams. Most importantly, they fi- nally obtained senior privileges. Harly dismissal was the one thing they had all prayed for as juniors while making out their senior sched- ule. But when they finally got those last few periods off, what did they do? Strange as it may seem, after all of the hoping, praying, and hard work it took to get early dismissal, a lot of the seniors waited either at McDon- alds or outside of the school for their friends to be dismissed. When asked on why they did this, one senior said: “There’s nothing better to do while Karen Perry reaches that time of the day Kim Wysocki and Mary Ryan await their everyone else is still in school.” that makes her the happiest. friends arrival at McDonalds. However, there were other things to do. Many seniors had after-school jobs. Getting that extra hour of work every day meant more cash to put away for college money. Some sen- iors went to the city library for a quieter, more resourceful place to study. Others just went home and did such constructive things as eat- ing, sleeping, or watching “soaps”. Whatever the seniors did with their early dismissal this year, it really didn’t matter, because it was their own time, and it was well- earned and well spent.

Attending college conferences, college fairs, and going on campus tours were helpful steps in making this important decision. College conferences presented slightly biased opinions. The represen- tative from the college explained what courses and activities were offered, choices of majors, and the benefits of attendance at the college. College fairs were somewhat the same, except that there were colleges represented and these colleges offered many booklets, QMMMARRCUCEESSAOUISZOBRNAANUOIIIIR == catalogues, and pamphlets for students . to take home and consider at their lei- Last minute preparations before meeting the final test of SATs that seem to deter- SUTE. f . mine all.

Seniors 43 44 Our Senior Year Throughout our last year of high school we worked diligently to make it our best year. The pressures of college and future careers were realities that had to be faced. College and scholarship applications were frantically sent in before their deadlines; and before we realized it, the year ended and we were off into the “real world”’. Even though much of the year was spent preparing for our futures, we also managed to enjoy ourselves; having lots of good times that were well-worth remembering. We used the money that we earned from nu- merous fundraisers to finance our success- ful prom and banquet. Unless we had to work or study for that math test on Mon- day, the weekends were spent partying and having fun with friends. Since it was the last year, we had a lot of school-spirit; even more than usual because we were the last class to graduate from Classical. Screaming and yelling, we at- tended the football games, soccer games, and pep rallies. We also had fundraisers to contribute to a cause we believed in or to help someone in need. We wanted to be re- membered as not only the last class to gra- duate from Classical, but also as the best class. Mark Sticca is overjoyed the weekend is finally here. aa Jim Wilkinson explains what homework is due on Monday. “Dreams are made of peo- ple, and people are of dreams.

Seniors 45 As The World Turned... 1985-86 was a year of terrible crisis and of treme ndous joy. Mrs. Sharon Christa McAuliffe, a teacher from Con- cord, New Hampshire, was chosen to be the first citizen passenger to ride aboard the space shuttle “Challeng- er’. Her historic flight, in January of 1986, ended in tragedy as the launch exploded minutes after lift-off, resulting in the deaths of all seven members of the crew. Other aviation news included one of the most disas- trous years for air travel in aviation history. Among the numerous plane crashes that ended in misfortune was that of 13 year old Samantha Smith. Samantha, who had gained world recognition when she became a “‘pen-pal” of the late Soviet leader Yuri Andropov initiated a mes- sage of peace and hope for world unity to the leaders of the Soviet Union and the United States. Locally, a message of peace was not fulfilled upon two police officers in Springfield. Officers Alain Beauregard and Michael Schavina were killed while attempting to enforce law and order in our city. Thousands gathered at the funeral ceremonies to honor the bravery of the two officers. Despite this loss, our city continued to grow as the new Central High School building was finally complet- ed. Central High joined both Classical and Technical High Schools. The majority of teachers chosen for Cen- tral High were either from Classical or Technical High. Students wishing to attend Central High coming from either Classical or Technical were guaranteed place- ments, others had to meet the requirements. : Son Le On the lighter side, the Coca-Cola Bottling Company : shook the world with their decision to stop making the original recipe Coke, and start making a newer, sweeter Coke for “Today’s Generation”. Almost over night, “old” Coke fan clubs sprang up all over the country protesting the new Coke. Public pressure was so great that the Coca-Cola Company brought back the original Coke. Then, on July 13, all eyes turned to the music world, and a concert called Live-Aid. The concert was staged in London, at Wembley Stadium, and in Philadelphia, at John F.. Kennedy Stadium. It was broadcast for sixteen hours to over one-hundred and sixty stations in coun- tries world wide. However, MTV was the only televi- sion channel to broadcast the entire concert. Over sixty rock stars performed including; Madonna, Eric Clapton, Elton John, Wham!, Hall and Oates, Phil Collins, The Who, Paul Young, and Tina Turner. Live-Aid grossed about fifty million dollars to help fight world hunger. In the sports world, 17- years old Boris Becker of West Germany, became the youngest player to ever win the Wimbledon Tennis Tournament. In baseball, Pete Rose broke Ty Cobb’s all-time record for base hits. Rose hit his four thousand, one-hundred and ninety second base hit on September eleventh against the San Diego Pa- dres. He was the only player to ever surpass Ty Cobb’s record for base hits set in 1929. fifth seven years ago. Over the past several decades, the world has taken many turns but truly these past years have been years of extremes. From plane crashes to life saving world concerts, the world has moved from tragedy to unity several times. In future years, maybe this unity will hold together and help bring about world peace. “IT want my MTV!! Don Johnson — the man of the year!

Webster defines a dream as “an aspi- ration or ambition.” Many people are familiar with those words. We remem- bered our parents’ aspirations for us. They wanted us to go to college and work at a successful career so that we could earn enough money to support them! Meanwhile, our ambitions con- cerned how to earn enough money to support ourselves, never mind our par- ents!! Our most outstanding dreams have taken us everywhere from Park Ave- nue in New York City to a beautiful- summer home in Hawaii. Still other dreams included scoring the winning touchdown in the Super Bowl, being offered the presidency of I.B.M., be- coming the most famous model in the world, or just supporting a successful family. Each of us looked at the word dream differently. One Classical student re- plied: “To dream is to live a perfect life through one’s imagination”. Nancy Kienzler defined to dream as “w hat you do when you don’t have the real thing.’’ Whether our dreams are elabo- rate plans for a successful livelihood, or if they are thoughts of life with that special person, they are all equal in im- portance. Even though we grow older with each passing day, we can still dream. Our dreams are a few of our most pleasant thoughts, so hang onto those dreams and maybe one might come true! 48 Seniors 2 i ' Remember the halls that carried us to the rooms where we could have Sean McCarthy never did make the cheer- Will Jeannine Quinlan’s and Chris Ker- leading squad! oack’s dreams of modeling be met?

Art 4 is a class dominated by seniors and outstanding juniors. To qualify for the Art 4 class, one had to complete Art 1 with a “C” or better and had to be recom- mended by an art teacher. Miss Camp was very proud of her class, and what it prepared her students for when they were ready to go on to college. The students received an introduction to Art History, and were fully prepared to go on with an art major in college. Along with Miss Camp, Mr. Nai tried to help their stu- dents train their eyes and hands by doing alot of drawing in such medias as; pen, pen- cil, ink and water colors. The students also learned to stretch canvas and use oil paints and acrylics. : ; , t tee Phyl In addition to the school’s art class, a few Heder mena pace a job well-done by Do I look like ’'m working? students who wanted more training and more preparation for college attended classes at Amherst College on Saturdays. The students in Art 4 also made portfolios and sent them to several art competitions over the course of the year. Needless to say, the art students were very well trained and prepared to go on to an art major in college. Credit is given not only to the students for their natural talent, but also to Miss Camp and Mr. Nai for their outstanding teaching talents.

A Classicalite catches up on some sleep in one of his more interesting classes. Paul Bradley lets the “real” Paul finally sprout out. Although most of us consider school nothing but a lot of work, there are some who can get more out of school than just classes and work. Take a look around, you'll be sur- prised at some of the things students do with their free study periods. We can find more and more about a per- son’s personality by seeing how they spend their time. During homeroom period, we can find people doing the strangest things. There are students in the band room showing off their musical talents, stu- dents in the library pretending to be busy at work, and students in the audi- torium practicing whatever they do best. There are students singing strange tunes in 101. The jocks are in the gym working up a sweat. The gift- ed are in the art rooms working on their artistic abilities. For some, stud- ies are the best time of the day to catch up on some lost sleep. There is more to school than just tests and homework, believe it or not. The activities and the surroundings of Classical High School are learning ex- periences in themselves. Classical stu- dents can be found do ing just about anything. We must open those class- room doors and take a good look be- hind the scenes. Brian Daly misses a yearbook deadline. Seniors 53 1. Do you agree with the decision to unite Tech with Classical? 2.

This section is for those who took an active part in the school this year. It is also for those who want to look back on the events of the year. Within these pages are the people who made a stand-people who expressed their own individual styles. The events covered in this section were memorable ones. Some events were Classical’s way of showing people the: talent of the student body. Other events were conceived with the students themselves in mind- a form of thanks for jobs well done. Please, take time to read the stories. If you do not, you will just miss the entire point that we are trying to make.

Activities 55 We Review For You % BS e% sad | = ; ae . . mS - This year’s 1985-86 Yearbook staff con- sisted of juniors and seniors who were dedicated to writing, photography, art, and chaos. Each student was selected in his sophomore year by the Yearbook ad- visor, Mr. Dinnie. Each student had to write information about himself along with a good reason as to why he or she wanted to join. Each application was then looked over by Mr. Dinnie and the selec- tions were made. Students were chosen for their writing abilities and their Eng- lish averages, along with recommenda- tions from English and other subject teachers. This year’s staff consisted of 12 senior editors and 13 juniors. The senior editors were: Craig Dinnie, editor-in-chief, Dave Scanlon, copy and student life, Debbie Boyer, activities, Esther Kim, features, Sheila O’Shea and Joe Lee, index, Gina — — = ee Roy, academics, Kim Matthews, under- eee oa DIG aaa classmen, Jeannine Quinlan, seniors, Randy Koski, sports, and Nancy Keinzler, history. The photographers were George Roumeliotis, a senior, and Brian Daly, a junior. All of the students worked together in order to make a great yearbook. The year started off easy for this deter- mined bunch. But, as the months and deadlines came, the work load got bigger, and the students got meaner. If it weren’t for the close advisership of Mr. Dinnie, many of the students would have tried to kill each other in total frustration. By saying that one and only word that would calm this wild group down (food!), Mr. Dinnie was able to save a few lives. Debbie Boyer said, ‘““We faced a lot of problems, but we always managed to solve them.” She gave credit to the staff for keeping their cool in times of stress. “Many staffers were loaded down with work, but everybody was always willing to help somebody out.” Congratulations to the 1985-86 Year- book Staff for making this yet another great edition of Blue and White. Good luck to the future staffs at Central High. ABOVE: Esther Kim and her sister Susy put their heads together on designing pages. LEFT: George doesn’t know where to go.

One may have thought that all of the credit should have gone to the Blue and White staff. The truth is, the yearbook would never have been possible without the “Blue and White Business’ homeroom. The stu- dents in room 223 put a lot of hard work into making the yearbook as inexpensive as possible. There were two major jobs carried out by the Blue and White Business staff. Their main purpose was to sell ads, which helped to offset the price of the yearbook. These students went to businesses either during their study halls, or on their own time, and tried to sell spaces in the year- book for their ads. The business staff was also in charge of selling the finished year- books. During homeroom periods on Wednesdays, representatives from Blue and White Business went to homerooms and took orders for the yearbook. Although the yearbook may have been a little expensive, it must be pointed out that the Business homeroom did not make a profit from the sales. All of the money made from advertisements and yearbook sales went to the cost of mak- ing the yearbook. It is fair to say that the staff of room 223 played a valuable role in providing Classical students with a year full of memories. ABOVE: The results of a good businessman.

Instead, Mrs. Costa’s writing class helped out. They were not aware of the fact that they would be working on SCRIBE when they signed up for the fifth period writing class, but they were “willing victims’”’. Mrs. Costa said it was “a frustrating though exciting experience”. She had to first teach the students writing skills and then worry about working on the maga- zine. This was only a half-year course, and that posed a problem. It limited the time spent on working on the magazine. Mrs. Costa hoped that the funds could be raised to get SCRIBE published this year. The cost of production excessed 3,000 dollars! If the magazine were to come out it would be called “The Best of SCRIBE”, consisting of works from past years’ magazines. All in all, Mrs. Costa did a wonderful job with SCRIBE this year. Scribe 59 y Each year, Recorder produced five newspapers which contained news con- cerning the school and the things that effected it. This year was no exception. As soon as the money was available to them, Recorder delivered another edition of their newspaper. The staff of 1985-86 was made up of 11 editors who gave commands to the ju- niors on the staff. The editors this past year were Kelly Maloni, Barbara Wrob- lewski, Kelly Harrison, Jeannine Bro- deur, Andrew Ryan, Mike Clifford, Scott Shea, Gary Bosquet, Neal Gary, Kathy Lamothe, and Beth Reilly. The photogra- pher, who developed his own pictures, was John Kontekakis. The most humble Mr. Brady watched over the flock. These students developed skills in writing, layouts, and photography. They learned “‘how to be organized and aggres- sive”. They worked well together and produced top quality work. Good luck to all of those who were on the 1985-86 staff. May the new staff fol- low in the footsteps of the old. 60 Recorder ABOVE: Beth Rielly hopes to get in the year- book. LEFT: Mike and Jeannine embrace for a moment.

Try to deny that you’ve spent hours just staring into space. How about that time you observed yourself in the mirror for twenty minutes or so, making faces, and talking to yourself?! Then there was that Saturday, when you crawled out of bed, onto the couch, and proceeded to watch cartoons, championship wrestling, and emp- tied out the fridge. Of course the best place to pass time is in school. Ever rip paper into countless tiny shreds during an en- tire class? Or run up and down the staircase until you drop? Or stand on your head in gym class until your face turned a different shade of col- or? All fun things to help you pass your time away. There was always that famous stand-by of ‘““How many licks does it take to get to the center : 3 4 Uv ‘ ; ‘ % J y 7 y PIED 2H a Anu raMaanainn neenstiaaeeaE of a tootsie-roll tootsie pop?” What a perfect opportunity to find out! Naturally, you could be as cre- ative, or uncreative, as you want while wasting your time. You could sleep (uncreative) or daydream (cre- ative). Say for instance, you had a choice between watching T.V. (and becoming brain dead), or watching your fish react to Rachmaninoff’s Prelude to C Minor, which would you choose? Everyone loves to hang around, but very few people realize that passing time is a specialized art with its own specific rules. These rules are: (1) Eat something (this includes fingernails); (2) Make comments about everyone who walks by; and (3) Get bored! In the end it’s all the same, whether you're reading, or napping, or nibbling, or humming, or twiddling your thumbs, for you’re ... Just passing time.

Features Hair was no longer just something that covered’ a head. Hair became a form of expression; an art form. Dit-f ferent styles expressed differ- ent attitudes. Everybody had his or her own _ individual style, There was radical, soft, curly, or bobbed. Dyed hair was definately ‘in’ this year. Blondes turned to brunettes and brunettes to blondes, or turned half-and-half. All in all, this year was a very interest- ing year for hair. What next? Neon colors? Bald? Well, in light of recent trends, it’s fit- ting to say “hair today, gone tomorrow.” 1 WALLS COULD TALK f � 2 ¢ 4.4 44s e 24 = a . _ a i = wy Fen PS ¥ LF Ae e = = ae de ” sv a a_y If anything of importance had to be related to the stu- dents and faculty of Classical, the walls made a great form of advertising. Dances, elections, sales, and points of interest were taped on walls and doors on every floor. Every form of advertisement had to be okayed by Mrs. Southworth before it “went public’. The only exception to this rule was graffitti, an illegal form of ad- vertisement. Graffitti laced the walls and doors of Classi- cal in large amounts. Some was very colorful and p retty but extremely unnecessary. If walls could talk, Classical’s walls would have a lot to say. 5 2S al Lomassiou %2.00 TaSSIAL BO aM 0D DRI Features 65 Once again this year, the Student Gov- ernment had an excellent, hard-working staff under the supervision of Mr. Keough, who has been the adviser for six years. The main purpose of the Student Gov- ernment was to rectify problems faced by students and to come up with ideas about how to solve them. It was difficult work, but as the year progressed, these leaders solved some of the problems Classical had at the beginning of the year. Meet- ings were held to discuss ideas concern- ing fund raisers and other school activi- ties. One of Student Government’s most famous activities was the St. Patrick’s Day Carnation Sale. This sale raised mon- ey for someone in the Springfield com- munity who was in need of help and fi- nancial assistance. The Student Government was under the direction of President April MacDon- ald, vice-president Mike Sheehan, and treasurer Julie Gates. Sixth-year adviser Mr. Keough said: “It was a pleasure to serve as Student Gov- ernment adviser.” He was constantly amazed at the dedication and hard work that was exhibited by the members of the Student Government.

They delivered bulletins and messages, signed in tardy students, col- lected attendance sheets, monitered the bathrooms, and ran errands. Students who were interested filled out applications concerning grades, atten- dance, and availability to work during a study period. Members were chosen by the two Student Patrol advisors, Mrs. Danton and Mr. Annino. While Student Patrol was a special club which offered its services to the school, the group did not have meetings like other clubs. Instead, it had its own two homerooms. Both homerooms contri- buted equally to the success of this year’s Student Patrol. The students in this organization gave a great deal of time and service to the school this past year. Hopefully, this tra- dition of excellent help will continue at the new high school next year. 68 Student Patrol ABOVE: Theresa is happy to help. ABOVE RIGHT: Danielle is caught by our camera.

Check Them Out a Like many activities here at Classical, being a library aide called for a certain kind of commitment. Several particular requirements were to have been met be- fore a student could take on the responsi- bilities of an aide’s position. It was not only necessary to maintain a “C’”’ aver- age, pass all subjects, and produce a par- ticular grade point average, but a student interested in working in the school li- brary must also have had a free study period and an interest in working with books and people. On any given school day, one could walk into the Classical library and find the assigned aides hard at work perform- ing any of the essential tasks that kept the library neat and in order. Library aides were expected to help out in any possible way by shelving and mending books, filing articles, designing bulletin boards, and running errands. Many of the aides also possessed office-type skills which enabled them to type, take inven- tory, process new books, and care for the Re Dave S cay ee Se Perens school’s outstanding periodical collec- : Fiona Wright, Kim Nibur, Dave Sternala, Jenn Shea, Megan McDonald, Paula ; i ; i Nogueira.

The skills and awareness that came from dealing with the mechanics of a library gave students training in the proper use of resources, which was a particularly handy talent to possess if going to col- lege. Aides also met other students and learned to work efficiently in groups. Fi- nally, library aides could use this exper- ience as a college or job reference. Everyone hopes that the library and its aides will continue to succeed in making research assignments a bit easier, even at the new high school next fall. The buddy system works again! Mrs. Gelinas always looks so informed. Library Aides 69 70 Focusing In The A.V.A. department had another full year of repairs and requests. Under the direction of Mr. Ligarski, the A.V.A. made all of the repairs on the equipment that was needed for the different classes. All of the requests for films, tapes, and machines were filled by the group of reli- able students who made up the A.V.A. staff. Without the hard work of the A.V.A. department, many of the assemblies and movies which Classical students enjoyed this year may not have taken place. The A.V.A. was responsible for filling the re- quests for all the audio and visual equip- ment needed by the teachers here at Classical. The A.V.A. should be proud of the outstanding job they have done. ABOVE: Bob Markel handles the job. apr Mr. Ligarski barks out orders to the Staff. AVA L. TO R.

Easy As Pi The Classical math club, known as the Mathletes, was Classical’s way of repre- senting the school intellectually. This year, the club had five meets; in which eighteen schools participated. On the average, Classical’s Mathletes ranked in ninth place. This year’s team had five more seniors than last year’s. This year’s participating seniors were: Cindy Bell, Craig Dinnie, Dave Scanlon, Kelly Maloni, Nancy Kienzler, and George Roumeliotis. Other members included: Lisa Wilson, Megan McDonald, Jesse Schell, Thomas Hurst, Debra Weissman, Byung Park, and Jessi- ca Townsend. Mr. Carithers, adviser to Mathletes, pointed out that “the enthusi- asm and excitement of the students made being the adviser a rewarding exper- ience.” Although being involved in the math team required little time compared to other activities, the participants showed a great deal of dedication. Junior Megan McDonald felt “being on the team was a very challenging and rewarding exper- ience’’. This year was an improvement from last year and, while working hard, the members found it exciting.

Mathletes 71 Final Curtain B The crowd was hushed, the lights were dimmed. The curtain slowly rose and the Classical Drama Club began one of their fine plays. There has always been a vague mys- tique about the Drama Club. The very idea of a drama club brought to mind im- ages of people wandering around mutter- ing lines of a play while they held them- selves aloof from the other students. This view was totally wrong. The 1985 Drama Club was run by Miss Keenan. According to her, drama was not as easy to participate in as one would think. Students were required to give a one minute audition that was comical and one that was serious. She chose members based on their auditions and other fac- tors, such as grades and attendance. Once the members were chosen, they found that drama was a lot more than just acting. They learned how to make cos- tumes, props, and stage design. Many stu- dents were surprised by the amount of work drama required. In addition to meeting every seventh period, there indie were many after school rehearsals. This : caused some conflicts with after school ABOVE: The cast of “Glimpses,” one of the plays presented by the Drama Club this year, sports and outside jobs. comes out to take a bow. Such a great cast deserves a warm round of applause. Miss Keenan said that in addition to be- ing willing to work hard, members of dra- ma were willing to make fools of them- selves in front of other people. They also needed complete trust in their director and in other students in the Drama Club. All of the students involved in drama shared a love of acting and the hope of someday being famous entertainers. Dra- ma was one of the most fun clubs at Clas- sical and provided excellent experiences for the students who were fortunate enough to make the club. Members of the 1985 Drama Club were very enthusiastic about their experiences and were quick to recommend the club to anyone inter- ested in acting or behind-the-stage activi- ties. Miss Keenan was hopeful that, this year, Classical’s Drama Club would end its run by winning the Mass. Drama Guild Competition. In the past, they had gone to the finals twice without winning the title. This year they hoped to win as a fitting end to Classical’s team. a a 72 Drama ABOVE: Kevin, the character Jim in the presentation of “Glimpses,” gives his angry look.

In its early years, bookcovers and pens were basically the only items sold. In 1973, when Mr. Wilke took over the job of supervising the store, he added school clothing, posters, and other school items to the stock. The store was first started with money from the school budget and money from candy vending machines which used to be in the cafeteria. Once the store began to show a profit, it became self-sufficient. All money made by the School Store was re-invested into the store. The store was run by student volun- teers. The workers this past year were Tina Bronson, Marixa Gonzales, Terry Waltson, and Kelly McCarthy. The girls worked during all three lunch periods. They were not paid for their work, but they did receive free sweat- shirts. The only requirements they had to meet were that they were eleventh or twelfth graders, and were able to meet the “C” average rule. The girls decided to join the School Store in order to help the school and be- cause it was a fun job. According to junior Marixa Gonzales, “Working in the School Store was a fun way to spend fifth period. Not only was J able to help the school, but I got to see all my friends at the same time.” Hopefully, the new School Store at the new high school will be as much fun and rewarding to next year’s staff as the Clas- sical School Store has been in years past.

Braingames As Schools Match Wits is a television program that sets teams of high school students against each other at answering questions about various scholastic sub- jects, ranging from history to music. The Classical 1985-86 As Schools Match Wits team was coached by Mr. LeClair, one of Classical’s history teachers. The Classical team had its first match against South Catholic High School of Hartford. Unfortunately, Classical was defeated. South Catholic started off the year with a continued winning streak from 1984. Classical played no other matches because each school that was defeated could no longer compete. According to Mr. LeClair, “The team could have done much better if they had had more practice time.” He said that it was hard to find students for the team, even though the team was not kept all year. There were no requirements for the team, except a good memory and fast re- call of answers. The questions were based on general knowledge, but leaning a little toward history. While Mr. LeClair didn’t feel that the loss reflected the form of education the students received, he did feel that it showed a lack of knowledge concerning history. Nancy Kienzler, the team captain, said: “Tt was fun. We lost, but we played to- gether, as a team and supported each oth- er throughout the show. I’m only sorry I can’t go back and do it again.” Congratulations to the 1985-86 team for giving South Catholic High a tough match, and good luck to the future As Schools Match Wits teams from Central High School.

During this past year, the coffee shop PALAU LONG e Sans TG) WE was a valuable asset to those students who never had the time to eat a complete, nutritional breakfast at home. The Coffee aay Shop sold hot chocolate, coffee, and doughnuts in the small cafeteria during the twenty minutes before school start- ed. These items provided a quick “‘pick- me-up” for students confronting the on- coming school day. The milk and sugar for the coffee were generously provided by Mrs. Kilbride down in the cafeteria; and the doughnuts were purchased from a bakery store in East Springfield. The Coffee Shop Homeroom was locat- ed in Room 214 and was supervised by Mr. Pringle. Only seniors could volunteer for the Coffee Shop, but they had to main- tain a ‘‘C” average. The volunteers had to be adept at organizing and keeping track of money. Over 400 dollars in profit was made this year, all of which went into the senior class treasury. This year’s Coffee Shop was extremely successful in raising money and in pro- viding students and faculty members with an enjoyable “breakfast substitute’’. Here’s hoping that the Coffee Shop will continue to function prosperously in the new high school. ABOVE: The 1985-86 Coffee Shop Crew had another good year.

Once again, in the girls’ gym, the annual fall blood bank was set up by the Red Cross with hopes that all eligible students would contribute to the cause. With the exception of the very few dizzy spells and faintings, most of the students were able to give a pint. In order to give blood, it was required that one be seventeen years of age or older. If a student was only seventeen a permission slip, signed by a parent, was given to the Red Cross before the student could donate. The donor also had to be over one hundred and ten pounds, and in good health. After the blood was collected, the Red Cross brought all of the samples to Mercy Hospital where it was tested for disease. Then the remaining healthy donations were distributed to the hospitals of Springfield. This year’s blood drive was very suc- cessful. Forty-seven pints were collect- ed, which is quite good for the fall season, due to more students under the age limit and more colds. Congratulations and thanks are in order for all of the students who donated blood and made this year’s blood drive worthwhile. Blood Bank 77 Kings Of Strategy When the stringent “C” rule went into effect last year, many extracurricular ac- tivities were either curtailed or were de- prived of a number of members. One ac- tivity that was not affected at all was the Chess Team; this fact speaks well of the students who participated in this club. Although the Classical Chess Team was not one of the most visible activities, it was definitely one of the most challeng- ing to take part in. It required not only a knowledge of the game and its difficult strategies to earn a spot on the team, but also a willingness to devote time to prac- tice matches and to official competitions. In order to be a member of the Chess Club, it was necessary to have an interest in the game and the desire to learn its mechanics. Chess was very exciting for those who understood the rules and enjoyed watch- ing the players battle their opponents on the board in a game that was actually invented as an alternative to war. Team advisor Mr. Dinnie said, “‘the fun lay in seeing a team member win a particularly emotional victory,” or in watching a member’s game improve as the season progressed until he beat a personal rival for the first time. In 1984, the Chess Team was the co- champion of Western Mass., and 1985 proved to be equally as rewarding. The outlook for 1986 is excellent, with most of the six team members returning, includ- ing Mark Horowitz, who as a junior, may be the best player in Western Mass., and sophomore Yury Viess, who is also one of the top players in this area. The first Chess Team at Central High School promises to keep up the present level of competition that has made each member a ‘‘king” in his own right. 78 Chess Club : Mark concentrates on his next ABOVE: Richard plans his strategy. een ABOVE: A typical chess board and its set-up.

Helping Others | The Afro-Am Society, which was head- ed by Miss Hoffman, was an organization which “served the school as well as the community.” The Society consisted of a group of caring students who donated their time and energy to helping others. The Afro-Am Society was a big success in 1985. Many projects were started by the Soci- ety this past year. One of these was a collection of money to help relieve the victims of the Mexican earthquake,. which caused great devastation. Another project was a popcorn sale from which some of the profits were donated to a needy family at Christmas time. They also held dances and flower sales in order to help the needy in our society. Many thanks should be given to the Afro-Am Society for having a heart where a heart was needed. May they re- main role models to all of us.

Afro-Am 79 Last Cheer They were seen at this year’s football, soccer, and wrestling matches; and at pa- rades throughout the city representing Classical. They were the Classical cheer- leaders. This year’s cheerleading team, Sey with only three seniors, was very enthu- Clara, left, and Monifa, right, show different rcticl expressions while on the team this year. Led by Captain Shannon Gallagher and Co-Captain Claudine Thomas, the team consisted of Cindy Bell, Chris Bisson- nette, Kim Monette, Lisa Clinton, Diana Fish, Marixa Gonzalez, Kathy Maroney, Monifa Marshall, Kimya Warfield, Clara Ali, Lisa Willis, Laurie Pasterczyk, and Alicia Clay. Miss deCarvalho and Miss Pandolfi were very cooperative as the ad- visers of this team. They devoted a great deal of time to the try-outs, the games, and of course the strenuous practices twice a week; each practice lasting 2% hours. The main focus of the cheerleaders this year was to find the school spirit that was present in everyone, but was not fre- quently displayed. Miss deCarvalho summed it up by saying, “the cheer- leaders parted the clouds and brought out ) ) wi the sunshine in Classical students”. ABOVE: The cheerleaders of 1986.

Junior Chris Bissonnette thought taking part in cheerleading was very beneficial. This year, being her first year as a cheerleader, “was a great one for me. I met a lot of new people and had fun while keeping our school spirit strong.” This year’s squad brought dignity to cheering and inspired a great deal of ad- miration among the student body. As Miss deCarvalho put it: “A good cheer- leader lives out her name-a leader, a role model, and an inspiration to others to lift up their spirits and stimulate them to achieve.” Evidently, this year’s cheer- leaders were very efficient in playing their roles. e a és =a % i Ca Diana gives the “V” for victory sign. 80 Cheerleading 2 ABOVE: Dave Scanlon receives his award. Most Honorable This year, the National Honor Society was composed of sixteen members of the senior class. To be a member of the NHS, one had to meet certain criteria. Any ju- nior or senior who had a high “B” aver- age was sent an application to fill out. The questions involved community ser- vices, citizenship, and school activities. All applications were reviewed by a pan- el of teachers for admission to the soci- ety. The NHS, which was run by Mrs. Thomas, helped to raise money for the senior class by selling carnations, pop- corn, and calendars. They also participat- ed in a volleyball tournament to help raise money for Easter Seals. The Alumnae Tea and the Induction Ceremony were the two major events held by the NHS this year. The Tea was a special gathering for all the students that graduated from Classical High School in 1985. The Alumnae Tea was held the week before Christmas at Symphony Hall. The Induction Ceremony, in May, was also held in the Mahogany room at Symphony Hall to introduce new mem- bers into the NHS. The National Honor Society gave rec- ognition to all those who had good grades and for those who showed good citizen- ship and a dedication to serving their fel- low classmates. ABOVE: Mrs. Thomas was adviser this year. NHS Major Success This year, the majorettes and compli- menting colorguard brought the spirit of Classical to the audiences of several pa- rades, including the six mile St. Patrick’s Day parade in Boston, and many local processions as well. These five young la- dies braved arctic temperatures in minis- kirts, and sometimes hostile crowds to bring a little life to the parades in which they participated. Although they were not a club, and did not have a direct adviser, Mr. Christie was generous enough to help manage the majorettes’ schedule, and this year, pro- vided them with new uniforms. Led by captain Lisa Bounaconti and co-captain Lisbel Olivo, they worked independently every Wednesday, fifth period, creating and practicing routines. When performing, the girls kept bright smiles and energetic form throughout their routines, accompanied by the Marching Band’s music. As for accom- plishments, the majorettes enjoyed a suc- cessful last year at Classical, for they showed outsiders what their high school was all about. CLABSICY, hd ABOVE: Majorettes in formation.

Rt Banding Together . The Classical High School Band had another successful year this year. The members of the Band were chosen on the basis of whether they played an instru- ment or not. Mr. Christie was very pleased with the calibre of the people he worked with this year. He said that the attitude of the Band members was very good. Some of the events that the Band par- ticipated in this year were the Christmas Concert at Symphony Hall, and a parade in Boston during the month of March. Another big event this year was the Big Apple Festival that was held May 2nd and 3rd. Mr. Christie said that the Band this year was as good as the Band last year. The members were all young this year. The Band was looking forward to a very successful season and had the enthusi- asm to make it successful. y melody. es nd Gravin make up the alto sax-section. Pci fre if Band 83 Jazz Giants Maintaining Classical’s traditions of musical excellence has been a task pur- sued by each performing group, and this year’s Stageband was no exception. Hav- ing lost most of the trumpet section of the previous year, the Stageband had to re- cruit two new players. Each filled his re- spective position well, and with the addi- tion of senior trumpet player Eric Pahl, they rounded off the section with three highly competent players. Filling the spots of other past graduates were Gra- vin Dillard on saxaphone, Jeffrey Morgan on guitar, and Josh Rice playing trom- bone. Joe Ferraro took over Heather Caulton’s position on piano, showing great enthusiasm in his playing. When asked how well he thought the Stage- band handled the changes, Mr. Christie replied simply: “‘they’ve adapted very Well oi... Under Mr. Christie’s close supervision, the Stageband performed music with in- fluences from Big Band to Jazz, and sometimes even Rock. Their concerts in- cluded several benefit shows in the outly- ing communities, including a concert for the Chamber of Commerce breakfast; and many local performances, such as Classi- cal’s last Christmas Concert. The band ended the year with a spectacular perfor- mance at Classical’s graduation ceremo- nies. To qualify for Stageband, one had to possess musical talent, as well as the abil- ity to put up with the endless fundraisers which enabled the Stageband to accom- pany the Classical Band and Orchestra to the “Big Apple Music Festival’, where they achieved high honors. The Stageband looks forward to next year at Central, and since it consisted predominantly juniors this year, each member will be at the peak of his or her talent. Ultimately, the facilities available at Central will enable the members to further enhance their musical abilities. 84 Stage Band LEFT: Chuck Langford backs the band with his Bari.

Final Movement i At the end of the day, one could often hear the classical music of Bach and Bee- thoven flowing from the lower level of the school as the orchestra rehearsed. Under the direction of Mr. Christie, the strings of the orchestra diligently studied their art of playing beautiful music in room B-17 during seventh period. Once a week on Wednesday, the entire orches- tra came together and practiced during homeroom period. In its last year, Classical’s orchestra showed an improvement and played more enthusiastically than ever before. For the last few years, an insufficient number of string musicians were avail- able to play and hindered the well-being of the entire orchestra. But this year, more string instruments were added, and the orchestra enjoyed a successful year. In the Christmas Concert, the orches- tra played well and was appreciated by those who attended Classical’s last Christmas Concert with applause and a standing ovation. At the end of the year, the orchestra competed in New York City at the New York Big Apple Music Festival. Representing the last of Classi- cal’s best, the orchestra played well in the competition. Orchestra 85 Holly Rock It was the night of December twenti- eth. Heavy snows were forecasted for the late evening. Why, then, were almost 400 young ladies and gentlemen getting all dressed up? The Christmas dance, that’s why. Snow, sleet, freezing rain, even a tornado, wasn’t going to stop these kids from a night of dancing and holiday cheer. Bundled up against the cold, they ventured out to the Parwick in Chicopee where this glamorous event took place. Once there, they removed their jackets and sweaters, and things heated up a bit. Rocco, the D.J. for the night, kept the large group on their toes with such songs as “The Conga” and “Party all the Time’. Everybody was having such a great time dancing and being with their friends that they forgot about the bad weather. If there wasn’t room on the dance floor, a table was the next best thing, as a few people had shown. As the dance came to a close, every- body said good bye, put on their coats and sweaters, and ventured out in the cold for home, Denny’s, or a friend’s house. It was a very memorable night and luckily everybody made it home to remember it. 86 Christmas Dance ABOVE: Maria LoPriore, Lisa Gingras, and their dates take a break from dancing. com ee 5 SS tha ABOVE: This large crowd was kept on the dance floor all night with popular dance songs.

Girls were leaving school after lunch and heading for the hairdressers, their friends’ houses, or just home to prepare themselves. Cars were being rented by guys and Mrs. Southworth, Mr. Walsh, Mr. Nodurf, Mr. Keough, and Ms. Costa were all trying to steady their nerves for what the up-coming night held in store for them. Even a stranger to Classical could have guessed what all of the ner- vousness and fuss was for ... the Junior Prom!! Yes, this was the night. The time when guys turned into gentlemen stud- ded out in suits and ties, and girls dressed in beautiful ruffles, satin and lace, and looked more stunning than could have ever been imagined. Chez Josef was the setting for this unforgetable event. The chandeliers, gorgeous decorations, and the winding staircase where many cou- ples took pictures only added to the ex- citement of the evening. Very soon the butterflies were gone, the jitters were lost and the party began. People were dancing, laughing, and hav- ing the time of their lives. And if any of the couples weren’t participating in one of these activities, they were probably getting their pictures taken before the lovely setting of the banquet hall. This was done before and after dinner. With all of the people in line, there was a long wait, but it was worth it to get such memories. The only time this commotion slowed down was when the delicious meal of chicken, prime rib, or fish was served. Everyone agreed that the Prom should last “One More Night” as the theme song by Phil Collins played on. The D.J. ended the occasion with “Heaven” by Bryan Adams, which seemed to be the number one requested song of the night. But even though it was over, no one was ready to go home just yet. Many went to the Huke Lau, to Misquamicut Beach, or both. This was definitely a night to be recorded in the history of Classical High School. 88 Junior Prom ABOVE LEFT: George and Beatrice take time out to smile.

But inside Symphony Hall, a group of talent- ed young men and women heated up the audience with a toe-tapping and finger- snapping song and dance set. This group opened with a sultry vesion of “Summertime”, featuring Sabrina For- esi. Other songs performed were “It’s All Right With Me”, “On My Mind” by Vicky Montgomery, and “Let It Snow” which brought thunderous applause. This group was called the Jazz-Rock Singers. It consisted of six couples from the sophomore, junior, and senior classes. Under the direction of Mr. Todd, and with the assistance of Mrs. Todd, the group’s choreographer, the Jazz-Rock singers learned intricate dance steps and utilized their vocal abilities to produce a highly exciting musical act. The talented teens that made up the Jazz-Rock singers had to give up many a Sunday afternoon and evening to prac- lice, and according to member Katara Aleem, “Jazz-Rock had given me the op- portunity to fulfill my aspirations of al- ways performing on stage.” Hopefully, Jazz-Rock will continue to fulfill many students’ dreams and aspirations in the future.

Perfect Harmony | Charming the crowds at several con- certs, public appearances, and a sundry of other performances, our very own Madrigal singers were a highlight of Classical’s performing arts. Their sched- ule was one of the busiest, between the instrumental and vocal groups, perform- ing at no less than twenty concerts be- fore Christmas! At the end of the year, the Madrigal group held its formal spring concert - the end of Classical’s Madrigal singers. As for individual accomplishments, an amazing twelve singers made the West- ern Mass. choral group; and ten were rec- ommended for all-state positions. The be- ginning of the year was “very question- able’? as Mr. Todd, the director of the group, put it. “We had a lot of new kids coming in, but it turned out to be a very successful year.”’ This year’s Madrigal yroup consisted of twenty-one singers: seven sopranos, five altos, five tenors, and the bass line. Being Classical’s oldest vocal group (it has been around since the early Thirties), the Mad- rigal group had been heavily in demand in the community. The group was known for its talented singing voices, exciting musical arrangements, and overall en- thusiasm for singing. We hope to see the Madrigal singers prosper at Central High, and to bring a little Classical tradition to the new school. RIGHT: Eat your heart out Pavarotti!

These students made up the talented concert chorale. This group, under the direction of Mr. Todd, performed at such places as Symphony Hall, Baystate West, the spring concert, and graduation at the Civic Center. The members of the concert chorale were very cooperative and eager to learn more about music. Their efforts showed, too. They produced a sweet sound that was harmonized beautifully. The concert chorale was the “corner- stone” of Classical’s music. They per- formed everything from classical to more modern pieces. As Mr. Todd pointed out, “this year’s group was a relatively young one. Most of the members were from the ninth and the tenth grades.’’ However, that didn’t affect their productivity. The group had a very positive attitude, thus accomplishing as much as, if not more than, an experienced group. The group as a whole was very successful. Because there were no auditions need- ed to join the concert chorale, a student could opt to take it and there would be no telling what kind of talent Mr. Todd would have to work with. This year, Mr. Todd really lucked out, receiving such a talented group of singers. Christine and Yvonne harmonize together. A meeting of Classical’s Concert Chorale.

Angelic Voices The Gospel Group was made up of 25 students who had an interest in Gospel music. The main goal of the students in the Gospel group was to show their cre- ative expressions through the music that they performed. Each student had many chances to show his or her talents. Many of the students had experience in Gospel music. If they didn’t, they picked up a lot by being willing to learn. The group put on a great show at the Christmas concert, as well as the other shows at which they performed. With such a large and enthusiastic group of singers, the Gospel group was able to at- tend all of the events that had been planned for the year. The Gospel group had a lot of fun and improved on their musical talents at the same time. : RIGHT: The Gospel Group. ABOVE: Kelly solos. Gospel 93 B A new musical group appeared on the scene this year. It was given the name “Show Choir’. This group of enthusiastic students showed a lot of talent in singing, dancing, and choreography. Their pow- erful voices could be heard every day during third period, the time in which they met to practice. The Show-Choir was like any other musical group. They practiced daily, per- formed at shows, including the Christmas Concert at Symphony Hall, and compet- ed in competitions around New England. They showed great pride in their work and that pride was shared by those who were fortunate enough to see them per- form. Congratulations to the Show-Choir for a great first year. Good luck to the Show- Choirs of years to come. Let’s hope that they carry on the Classical tradition of excellence. ABOVE: Singing Sally. RIGHT: Randy gives his all.

Many of us, however, may have overlooked the fact that it was not the last year only for students; this year was also a special year for teachers, clerks, cooks, custodians, vice- principals, and the principal as well. Surely the many years that these individuals were a part of Classical have created many fond memories, perhaps many more than any student could ever have in his four years at Classical. Their contributions to the Classi- cal education helped to develop and educate many youngsters throughout the years. Many of us are part of these memories. These people, each with very special tal- ents, shared their time, thoughts, and knowledge with us in order to help make us better people. It is not, therefore, appropri- ate to merely skim over the “Academics” section that follows, but rather view and reflect upon our faculty members with gratitude and admiration. They devoted so much time, thought, and energy to us that taking the time to view and appreciate these individuals is certainly a small favor to ask in return. -Gina Roy Academics Editor The first step in putting out a page for the yearbook is making a lay-out for a double page.

BELOW: Mr. McDuffie stares in disbelief as a student comes to speak with him without having to be called down. Most times when students get called down to the counselor’s of- fice, their first thought is ““What did I do wrong now?” Instead of their worst fears coming true, however, the students are sur- prised and relieved to find out that their counselor only wants to have a friendly chat with them about their current activities and future plans. In theory, counselors are sup- posed to work with stud ents to help them with problems, impor- tant decisions, and getting into college. In the past, a counselor was able to arrange a meeting with each of the students assigned to him. This was what the major- ity of their time was spent doing. Today, however, since there are so many students who have prob- lems with courses, much of a counselor’s time is spent with pro- gram changing. This is unfortu- nate because it leaves them with less time for the actual counseling with the students. Often times the counselors are in a role of conflict; an example of this is when coun- selors are assigned bathroom guard where they must discipline students. This is contradictory to what they are employed to do: guide. It is much harder to guide and talk to a student after you have just reprimanded him for a wrong doing. In order to be a counselor, some classroom experience and special courses geared to becoming a counselor are required. Upon ful- filling this requirement, a future counselor can apply for any job opening. The school committee decides who to put in the posi- tions. According to guidance counsel- or Mr. McDuffie, “Counselors help students make their own plans by showing them their choices and alternatives; they do not make the plans for them. It is unfortunate that the students do not see the counselors as we would like them to see us. We are here to help them make their plans by giving them choices and alternatives. Weare not here to make the plans for them. That they must do for themselves.” ABOVE: Searching for the “ideal” college are Denise Watt and Paris Jewell.

The NCTE team of evaluators visited Classical to observe our English Language Arts program. Inter- viewing teachers, evaluating extracurricular activi- ties such as the yearbook and the newspaper, and sitting in on classes all helped the council to decide that Classical has a very outstanding English pro- gram. The executive director of the NCTE, John C.

The American Dream, sought after by many, has crystallized into acquiring wealth. Sometimes we are caught up in the “Yuppie” phase and blinded by the dazzle of the glamorous life; gorgeous mansions, ser- vants, expensive jewels and furs, sport cars, and other luxeries. We do not disillusion ourselves into be- lieving that all this can be achieved by the snap of a finger. We know there is much dedication and determination required to succeed in life. Teenagers today are willing to work toward this goal. They are working harder than ever in school and the majority of them continue their education in com- ' petitive colleges. Weare not just concerned, however, with “ourselves”. We are well aware of the events occuring all over the world as well as in our own school. We help one another; we care. We tend to dwell on our existence: who we are, what we want, and our purpose here on this planet. Life is not a chaotic rushing around. We take time to reflect, to admire, to wonder, and to question.

There have been many noticeable alterations in the curriculum of Classical this year, but the adoption of the new grading system is certainly the one which stands out the most. The major differences between the new and the old system are that the new system makes use of comput- ers, awards student’s ‘“‘pluses’”’ and “minuses,” and evaluates student’s conduct, attendance, and effort. These three differences are all advan- tages of the new system. With the use of computers, a great deal of time is saved. Report cards can be processed much quicker than by hand. Class rankings can also be calculated in less time and with greater accura- cy. The new system is also successful in giving a more accurate evaluation of the student. With this system, someone who has an eighty-eight final average has the advantage of being accre- dited with a “B+”, instead of only a “B”. This is obviously a more precise indication of his perfor- mance. This preciseness carries into class rank- ing as well. Instead of the four point system, an expansion to a fifteen point system has been made to account for pluses and minuses. An indi- cation of the student’s attendance, conduct, and effort is also an advantage. This is a very effec- tive means of fully evaluating each student. It is obvious that the new grading system is certainly a “plus” and should have been adopted long ago. 107 Mr. Miguel Ayerve Ms. Maria DeCarvalho Mr. John Denis Mr. David Douglas Mr. Eugene Gramarossa Mrs. Helen Landry Mr. Raymond Lussier Mr. David Macomber 108 Academics Mr. Arnold Matz Mrs. Maria Mazzei Ms. Rosanne Pandolfi Mr. Henry Skala PORREREREOOOUORONDRCEORROUCRDRORORRGRODERORUAOORELOERORERCRORUGOSRORONCROOCODERURONUOUODNGTONOCLONGCQUDGCORUCOOODROQOOOORORCNGDORONODUGORRORODODROROOOORGROOHONECCONONRROGHNROCRCAOOnUOoORONOnoONE, The number of people enrolled in foreign lan- guage classes has increased over the years at Classical. There is now a much larger interest in attaining the skill of reading, writing, and speak- ing another language. Classical offers a language to satisfy almost any interest. The languages of- fered at Classical are French, Spanish, Italian, German, Russian, Latin, and Classical Greek. Most of the students who undertake this chal- lenge continue the course for three years and often times they pursue their interest further. The tradition of excellence in the foreign lan- guage department is going to be continued at Central High School. Next year, at the new school, there will be improvements and innova- tions in this department. There will be better Ms. Pandolfi and Ms. DeCarvalho are technical facilities and video capabilities at Cen- active both in and out of the classroom. tral High. Foreign language is truly the key to success. The ability to speak a foreign language can open many doors in the outside world. Language is one of the greatest barriers in communication between nations and the ability to communicate in one’s mother tongue may break down these walls. Classical takes great pride in their foreign language department. Foreign language courses, like mathematics, science, and English, are a necessity for a well rounded education, and should be taken by all.

The state of Massachusetts requires that all public schools teach physical education. One major reason for this rule is to provide each student with a complete and balanced education. Just as an English course develops an individual’s gram- matical and writing skills, “gym” is designed to develop an individual’s concept of health and physical fitness. The state board of education expects each school to conduct a physical education pro- gram in which students acquire an apprecia- tion for good physical conditioning and a per- sonal sense of well-being. Gym was also e stab- lished to condition each student’s body well enough to meet the demands of everyday life, as well as the demands of emergency situa- tions. The general curriculum must include Mr. John Christie Music Mrs. Ruby Kelly Physical Education Mrs. Rosetta Denault Typing Mr. Dan McLaughlin Physical Education sports such as volleyball, softball, and bad- minton that are considered “lifetime” sports which people will continue to participate in throughout their adult lives. Upon completion of the “gym” program in their senior year of high school, each student should possess a knowledge of movement and an understanding of the relationship between time, space, and force that is applied in games, sports, exercise, and dance. This development of coordination leads to not only a healthy body, but also a healthy mind. Even though there are days when the gym feels like the inside of a freezer or the rain is collecting in pools on the floor, it is a good idea to drag out those sweats and sneakers, and take gym. After all, if one was to sit around and just watch all of the time, think of all the education he’d be missing ...

From ancient Athens to the modern world, music and many kinds of cre- ative writing have been, and are, very influential tools. Many people have heard of Thomas Paine, the man who wrote the colonial pam- phlet “Common Sense’. The pam- phlet supported the saying “The pen is mightier than the sword,” and in- fluenced the thinking of many peo- ple toward the rebel cause before the American Revolution. As for music, adults today are attempting to impose ratings and censorship, fearing that today’s music is nega- tively affecting teenagers. Hopeful- ly, this is not true. It does show, however, the influence that music can exert on the listeners. Obviously, the arts are an impor- tant part of the education received by a Classical student. In fact, a freshman coming into Classical had to choose between concert chorale, band, or art as one of his or her sub- jects. The choice to pursue one of these courses is no longer optional as it has been in the past. Several Classical students have ) gone on to successful careers as mu- Mr. David Stratton Physical Education sicians, artists, writers, and singers. Had it not been for the opportunity provided here, this might not have been the case. Many people do not know that Billy Joel’s saxaphonist was a former student at Classical. Similarly, the chief screenwriter for the popular Motion picture company Orion Pictures was also a graduate of Classical. Many careers are avail- able to people with a background in the fine arts. Pursuit of an art is not just a way to spend spare time. Other benefits include scholarships to sev- eral colleges for the more “‘artistical- ly endowed”’ individuals. Over the decades, Classical has al- ways played an important part in the artistic society of Springfield. This year is no exception. Classical students, in their respective musical and artistic groups, were called upon to perform an abundance of concerts in the outlying communities. Hope- fully, Classical’s reputation as a leading fine arts high school, will carry on to Central High and pros- per in accordance with its improved facilities, more student enthusiasm, and greater emphasis on the devel- opment of individual artistic skills.

Many of the friendships that were made started off right in your own homeroom. Right away you started planning who you were going to share a locker with and argued about who was going to get the bottom. Remem- ber all the times during homeroom period laughing and having a good time? What about the times when you didn’t feel like joking? You knew who your real friends were, for there was always someone there to give youa friendly smile to make you feel better. Hopefully in the following pages, some of those special memories were captured.

Stacy Clarke gets a lift from Larry Marchese’s sense of humor. “Junior year’ was a phrase which struck fear into the hearts and minds of most underclass- men, and for good reason. Along with the day-to- day pressures of school, like homework, quizzes, and tests, juniors found themselves facing new pressures; including the P.S.A.T.’s early on, and the S.A.T.’s later in the year. “So what was new about that? Juniors in ev- ery high school have been putting up with that for years ...,” you said. Well, not only were the eleventh graders the last that Classical ever had, they will also be the first graduating class of the new “Central High School”; a point which many juniors had different opinions about. Almost all express the problem of bringing Classical and Tech together, such as the combi- nation (or clashing) of two different kinds of school spirit. Another problem with the combi- nation will be overcrowding. Classical alone had troubles with that, never mind adding the entire student population of Tech. Many juniors felt that this would result in less individual attention for each student, and consequently, lower grades. Juniors also expressed the worry about being in unfamiliar surroundings; “because it will be like starting all over again as a freshman,” said junior Kathy Maroney. “There will be too much confusion’, explained Bob O’Connor, “not even the teachers will know where they’re going...” However, the worst part about a new school will be leaving Classical: “It was like a tradition ... , described Mark Weissman. Almost all ju- niors said they will miss the years they spent at Classical. “It’s horrible that I spent three years at Classical and now my diploma will say ‘Cen- tral’ ’’, expressed junior Cindy DeGrace. True, Central will have it’s problems, just like every other school, but we should not and could not ignore all of the advantages. Above all, Cen- tral will allow the use of facilities that may be the best in the country, including an Olympic size swimming pool, a double-sized gym, and last but not least, air-conditioning! Other than material facilities, there will also be the benefit of better sports teams because of the combination. A bigger school budget will provide for junior varsity for almost every sport, and more student participation. Finally, for the last benefit, as Chuck Langford jokingly ex- plains, “there will be more girls ... ” Well, so much for an educat ional experience! Juniors iz oe he LEFT: Angela Lis slips into something more comfortable for her midnight broom ride. 118 Features In the novel A Seperate Peace, it is stated that ‘‘the more things change, the more they remain the same.” Can this be true, when high school seems to contra- dict this statement? After all, Classical was a time of changes for us all. As new- ly-arriving freshmen, we were filled with insecurity and overwhelmed by this tre- mendous burden to succeed. This was high school now: no more petty junior high classes with homework assigned at the most once a week! There was plenty of free time for ourselves and we had pretty much established a style or man- ner (both physically and mentally) that were accepted by our peers; thus giving us a facade of security. For most of us, high school was a time of starting over. It was a time for experimenting, for tempo- rary fads, and for permanent influences or memories of value. It was definitely a time for changes! Physical appearances were very im- portant to adolescents since we were not only still growing mentally, but also physically. We were extremely vulner- Lf ai —e = e a i able and at times we were hurt by some changes or another: changes in people we cared about and the decisions we made for the changes in ourselves. Teenagers were typical for changing their appear- ances, ideas, taste in clothes, boyfriends- girlfriends, and many other things. There was nothing we could do about these changes, except learn to accept them with time. However, all throughout high school, how much have we really changed since the first year at Classical? We have gained an infinite amount of knowledge and become the better person for it. Things may change; our hair, our likes and dislikes, or our opinions, but then things will always be the same because we will always be ourselves. Changes in ourselves can be compared symbolically with the reflections we see as we peer into a rippling surface. Despite the distortions, we know that it is us and no one else. However, we may still say: “This cannot be me because it looks ... changed.”’ “ise a i i i « cie Da ey a, LEFT (INSET): Classical succeeded in molding fresh- man Andy Ryan into a suc- ces sful graduate.

Not only were they ina completely different setting for school, but the scholastic demands were greater than ever before. Most of them were glad that they stayed in junior high for ninth grade. They were glad to havea chance to be the “big seniors” at the junior high schools, and that they didn’t have to start high school as freshmen.

Not only the officers, but the whole freshman class is always relieved when they become sophomores and finally have someone below them. This year’s freshmen officers, howev- er, will still be the youngest next year due to the elimination of the ninth grade at Central High. The freshmen officers for this year were: John Whitcomb, President; Gabriella Cromer, Vice- President; Patty Clark, Treasurer; Dan Collins, Secretary; and Staci Chambers and Nick Lu- kowsky as Representatives. These dedicated students tried to make this year a good one for their classmates. They didn’t have the experience or the time to accomplish as much as the upper classes, but they did what was planned, and that’s all that counts. In the years to come, the class officers will try to develop their class and raise enough funds to have terrific years. Good luck to the class of 1989! atCip, CO 00 CO r4 VICE PRESIDENT: Gabriella Cromer SECRETARY: Dan Collins TREASURER: Patty Clark REPRESENTATIVES: Nick Lukowsky and Staci Cmambers Freshmen 125 ROOM 130: FRONT ROW: Tasheba Baker, Sonya Bailey, Michelle Barnett, Arthur Barnes, Mare Abbe, Cynthia Amador, Kim Barbieri.

Sports programs, high school challenges, a head-start on a career education, and a desire for a change in pace were the basic reasons why most students left their junior high schools. Others came from parochial schools, and had had just about enough of it. On the first day, freshmen experienced ner- ROOM 139: FRONT ROW: Earnest Whitehead, Robert Thornton, _. .

There were a few dislikes among the freshmen here at Classical; the majority of them being against more homework, the three minute dead- line between classes, and the condition of the building itself. On the other hand, the increased freedom, helpful teachers, and new challenges were greatly appreciated by the incoming freshmen. The class of ’89 was only present at Classical for one year, but made its mark on the Classical tradition. It will also have the chance to make an even bigger mark at the new high school.

Each individual special homeroom had incom- parable assets to offer to the students and facul- ty members at Classical High. These homerooms were compris ed of students who were capable of handling the responsibilities and duties that were given to them. Each specific homeroom had distinctive func- tions which they contributed to the school. The Student Patrol Homeroom members volun- teered their services in the office and the school store, and patrolled the bathrooms. The Record- er Homeroom was the home of the school news- paper. The Recorder staff was responsible for putting out a newspaper filled with school and sports happenings approximately every other month. The Madrigal and Jazz-Rock Homeroom was composed of talented singers who per- formed at several concerts, including the Spring Concert and the Christmas Concert. The Year- book staff’s job was to create stories and report on events which happened throughout the school year, and then professionally organize them into the annual yearbook. The Blue and White Business staff worked on the business as- pect of the yearbook. The Student Government Homeroom consisted of student government members from each class. They organized events, such as school dances and carnation sales, to raise money for their individual classes. ’ The Audio-Visual staff was composed of seniors, juniors, and sophomores who were selected to be trained as operators of A.V.A. equipment. The Theatrical Productions Homeroom members were students who were seriously considering the pursuit of drama. Seniors made up the staff of the Coffee Shop Homeroom. They worked pe- riodically in the cafeteria before school and pre- pared breakfasts for incoming students. The special homerooms’ contribution to the students, teachers, counselors and administra- tion, helped to make Classical one of the finest schools in the country. The students’ willingness to work hard in order to do well in the areas of academic and extra-curricular activities has set a standard for high achievement. These special homerooms have become a valuable part of Clas- sical and hopefully, they will continue to do so in the new Central High School.

Although this was the last year for Blue and White and our school, Classical will continue in more ways than memory. The most obvious example will be seen in the first Central yearbook’s sports sec- tion. As always, because of both tradition and necessity, this year’s spring sports stories will be put in next year’s year- book. In that way an essential aspect of Classical, athletics will be included in the beginnings of Central. Throughout this year an exciting trend could be seen, which is reflected in the stories. Almost every team did better than ever, or, in the case of already phe- nomenal teams, did better than last year. Most of the teams were young as well, the cores being composed mainly of un- derclassmen. This will ensure that the first years of Central will be its best years for athletics. -Randy Koski Sports Editor Sports 131 baseball Bulldogs At Bat We played our best - — that’s what counts -Coach Ligarski Bulldog Mike Hutchinson breaks up a double play. The 198 5 Classical baseball team faced each game with a strong desire to win. The Bulldogs’ season was not quite as good as people had expected it to be, but most fans thought that the season was better than the seasons of years past. Returning starters Don Strange, Jeff Tongue, Eddie McCarthy, Bill Higgins and Tony Karam had a whole new group of players with which to work. With promising newcomers like Ange- lo Puppolo, Brian Murphy, Tim Dor- ehty, Rick Pelchar and Chris Dowd, Classical’s baseball season looked bright. When the Bulldogs played as a team, they were unbeatable; but when they were Off the field, they had many prob- lems. Disorganization has always been Classical’s downfall, but during the ’85 season, the Bulldogs learned to play as a team. Classical had a few players who stood out from the others on either of- fense or defense. Brian Murphy, Eddie McCarthy, and Jeff Tongue were the defensive players who helped to get the Bulldogs on the ball. Eddie McCar- thy and Jeff Tongue provided the base- hits when they were needed. During Classical’s most outstanding game, the Bulldogs carried the number one team in the league, Holyoke High School’s Purple Knights, into extra in- nings for the season’s finale. Classical finished off the year with a 6-12 record, but also with rising junior Varsity talent. The Bulldogs hope to improve on last year’s record during Classical’s last season on the field.

The 1985 girls’ softball team, despite their great efforts, finished the season with a record of 4-13. “The strongest ‘plus’ of the season was the girls’ will- ingness to play aggressive, competi- tive softball,” noted Coach Richard Ricci. On the field, their spirit was always high. The team members encouraged each other, and that seemed to keep the Classical players a step in front of all the others. Coach Larry Pringle commented that the team “had some pretty tough competition.’”’ What the players may have lacked in exper- ience, they definitely made up for in enthusiasm and team spirit. The new “C-Rule’, which was put into effect last year, caused Classical to lose a great deal of players. Due to the cutback in players, it was only possible to have a varsity softball team. In turn, some of the girls missed out on the in- valuable playing experience needed to make great future teams. Despite their record, the girls were undaunted, and everyone was optimis- tic for a better season. The team’s first win, over East Longmeadow, was truly exciting. It provided the confidence they needed to continue playing together, along with the pride of being a Classical team. ' Returning starters Gina Roy and Terri Waltein really helped the team. Gina displayed a lot of speed at base- running, and Terri was usually found playing first base. Other returning starters were Claire Joyal, a strong and valued pitcher, and Nina Vivenzio, 134 Softball an outstanding catcher who was cho- sen for the All Western Massachusetts Championships. All of the returning starters helped to rouse the Classical team. Many newcomers added to the ex- citement, including Lisa Hogan, Laura King, and Meg Phillips. They provided the team with noticeable abilities in hitting and outfielding, defense and ba- serunning, and a super third baseman, respectively. Despite the many graduating play- ers, it appears that Classical will al- ways have great enthusiasm, and show even more effort. Our Classical spirit will be carried on to many future sea- sons after Classical is closed, and passed on to the generations to come. Good Luck! ABOVE: Laura King intercepts an opposing run- ner.

Each member had excellent team spirit, which made them work hard to improve their skills day by day. Al- though the team had no wins, every player strove to do his best. Some of the accomplishments of the track season were that of Joseph Reil- ly, who showed a lot of promise at the 110 high hurdles. In the Western Mass play-offs, Juan Rosario took fifth place for the 250 yard dash. Outstanding in other areas were Ke- vin McCaffrey, known for the two mile run, Steve Phillips for the high-jump and the triple jump, and Dan McLaugh- lin for the one mile run. These track members tried to inspire the rest of the team to do the best they could, and succeeded. Coach Duckowicz said the reason for the team’s unsuccessful season was the small number of players and, as a re- sult, the strength was not there to suc- cessfully compete against a lot of other schools. He also pointed out that the situation with a new coach is always difficult, and that recruiting started later than usual. He added that “if we begin recruiting earlier next season and all the newcomers return, the out- look for next year will be good.” Another player lands even more softly. 136 Boys Track ABOVE: Greg Falvo confidently passes an- other runner on the outside.

On many occasions during this school’s history, a team has developed which exemplifies Classical’s spirit and tradition of excellence. The 1985 Clas- sical Girls’ Track Team was one of the best examples of this kind of team. Its relatively small size in no way ham- pered it, and in fact pulled it together into a tightly knit group of formidable athletes. Their determination stood out, whether they won or lost, making them a team to be reckoned with. Mrs. Ruby Kelly, the team’s coach, said that the overall record of 0-8 does not reflect the true nature of the team. “Everybody was pleased with their achievements, and they bettered themsevles every meet.” The major reason for this enthusiasm was the re- Claudine Thomas astounds the referee with her phenomenal discus throw. 138 Girls’ Track turn of many players from 1984, whose dedication and hard work held the team together. These included Clau- dine Thomas, discus-thrower, Kelly Gavin, a Western Mass Championship qualifier in shotput, and Ruth Ama- dore, also a qualifier in the high jump. The athletic feats of newcomers Tawanda Hill in shotput, Christine Paulk in the 100 yd. dash, and Nydia Nowak in the long and triple jumps also added to the team’s accomplish- ments. This group also has the same enthusiasm to look forward to next year, since there were few seniors. One thing is certain: if all of these girls return, their experience, combined with new blood, will make them un- beatable. ABOVE: Heather Pike gains on a Holyoke opponent.

The 1984-85 Boys Tennis Team was a high-spirited and well-rounded team of good athletes whose excellent atti- tude showed through all season. Their high energy and consistent playing abilities helped to fill in the gaps made by absent players throughout the sea- son. The outstanding spirit and young tal- ent helped to lift the boys tennis team to two very big wins, one over Chico- pee and the other over Palmer. In the Chicopee game, it seemed that Classi- cal would lose. Adam Wolmer helped to clinch the victory with a very tough win over Chicopee’s number one play- er. Adam was down two to five when Craig Dinnie displays his famous cheek shot. he took the third set at double match point. Bob Markel and Craig Dinnie gained a big win in doubles to boost the team to a win over Palmer. In a West- ern Mass. Championship play, Craig Dinnie and his doubles partner Steve Magni won the first round match be- fore being eliminated in the second round. The Classical Bulldogs are looking forward to a more prosperous season in 1985-86. Despite the loss of one player who is graduating, they have a team of promising tennis players who have yet to show their true talents. Overall, the coming year looks to be a winning one for the Bulldogs.

The Classical Girls’ Tennis team showed a great deal of improvement this year under the influence of return- ing starters Lori Misulis and Ellen Moriarty. The team did better than last year by winning three more matches than the previous season. Coach Ma- comber regarded the season as an ex- citing one because “the girls had fun while displaying good sportsmanship.” Chris Clifford had an outstanding season. She was 6-3-1 in her matches, making her number one player. She displayed her abilities against Ho- lyoke’s number one player and lost to a very close game at the girls’ individ- ual tournament at Smith College. Pam Whitcomb thought the season was a very rewarding one. She felt that the team’s enthusiasm made up for the lack of experience of some of the players. She was very proud to bea member of the team. Coach Macomber was impressed by the overall outcome, saying, “To me, the most important thing is to have fun while learning a sport that can be played throughout one’s life’.

Coach Schmidt was especially im- pressed by the team’s ability to hold their own against some seemingly su- perior schools. Even when they lost, the players’ morale was high, perhaps due to the personal satisfaction each was receiving from the sport. “Our in- dividual accomplishments oversha- dowed our losses’, said player Mike Clifford, affirming this. Next year’s outlook is very bright. The high standards set this year with each player and the team itself, along with the strong returning nucleus, en- sures a showing worthy of the Bull- dogs and the Classical tradition.

The hard work, dedication, and en- thusiasm shown by this year’s gym- nastic’s team resulted in the most suc- cessful season in Classical’s history. This was evident throughout their meets. For example, in a tri-meet against Monument Mountain and Pitts- field, Classical took the victory with a spectacular score of 95.2. Even at the season’s finish, the teams enthusiasm was shown when three students com- peted for the first time in the Western Mass. Championships. These competi- tors were the team’s captain Katara Aleem, and Nydia Nowak; both ot whom were strong in floor exercises and the uneven parallel bars. Also competing was Simone Jubyna, who was talented in many areas. One of the main reasons for the suc- cess this year was the addition of a new coach, Elizabeth Kannenberg, from Springfield College. Her influence, teaching abilities, and rapport with the gymnasts contributed greatly to the outcome of excellent individual perfor- mances. The team achieved the best record ever for Classical, with seven wins and eight losses; a great accom- plishment to punctuate the end of this school. This year every individual on the team showed excellent qualities in her performances. A few people who stood out were Gina Cuccovia, who showed strong potential on the balance beam and in floor exercises; and manager Mi- chelle Regnier with her outstanding spirit, who always kept the atmo- sphere energetic and lively. One of the year’s disappointments was the withdrawal of Michelle Tremblay from the team due to mono- nucleosis and hepatitus. Hopefully she will be back and giving her best during next year’s season. There is a positive outlook for next year with the return of coach Eliza- beth Kannenberg and players Dawn Roberts and Simone Jubyna, both of whom were very promising and showed outstanding talent in their per- formances this year. Central High’s new equipment will enable the gym- nasts to train and improve their skills for next season. They have set their goals and are determined that next year we will be celebrating the victory of the “Classical Bulldogs’’ at the Western Mass. Championships!

The 1985 Classical Football Team was outstanding. This year’s team con- sisted of only five seniors and compiled an §-2 record. The team had a “never quit” attitude, losing two games in a row; yet making a comeback to win their last five games. Some of the returning starters were: center, Dan McQuade; fullback, Alan LaPorte; and quarterback, Dave Zul- kiewicz. Coach McLaughlin said, “‘The leadership displayed by Dan McQuade and Alan LaPorte was absolutely out- standing.” Senior football members who stood out were Alvin Ross for the all-league split end, David Zulkiewicz for all- league quarterback, throwing seven- teen touchdown passes, and Dan McQuade for all-league center. Some juniors who stood out were Joe Gentile at guard, Brian Murphy at tight end, Chris Dowd at the tackle, James Guy and Troy Morrow at running backs, and one exceptional sophomore, Glenn Altro at guard. A few of the newcomers this year were Dan McLaughlin, Glenn Altro, William McAllister, Dave Pelletier, and Chuck Dickie. They helped the Football team with their strength, character, and enthusiasm. One of the biggest moments for the football team members came after los- ing two games in a row to Chicopee Comp. and Agawam. The team was about to lose 20-7 to West Springfield, when they suddenly made a tremen- dous comeback to win 42-20. They also defeated Cathedral 17-2 while totally dominating them both offensively and defensively. Lastly, they finally de- feated Minnechaug 18-15 in the last game for Classical High School. Coach McLaughlin felt that the team’s enthusiasm, the leadership of the seniors, and their never-say-die-at- titude is what made the last Classical football team what it was. Mr. McLaughlin also added that if some of this year’s newcomers return next year, then the outlook for the Central High School Football Team will be very promising. Though it was the end of Classical High School, the spirit of Classical was shown in the dedication and enthusi- asm of this year’s football players, and led them to victories we will always ‘remember. f An Era footbal| —— They had a never- | say-die attitude. -Coach McLaughlin = a Alan LaPorte struts his stuff while keep- Who’s being tackled down here? e Joe Gentile, Chris Dowd, and Dan McQuade show their strength and endurance.

The 1985-86 Classical Boys’ Soccer team was the best that Classical ever had, winning their first Western Mas- sachusetts Championship ever. Co-captains Dave Serafino and Daryl Zanardi, both of whom were awarded M.V.P. honors by soccer officials, led their team to an almost flawless sea- son, with their only loss going to Chi- copee High. The team took a risk by moving Bernard LoChiatto and Mike Hutchinson from goal to defensive po- sitions, but the risk payed off well. Ber- nard, who was a returning starter, and Mike, who was a very promising new- comer, played their positions so well that it benefitted the entire team. Goalie Mike Breslin also added a great touch to the team. Although Mike suffered a broken nose during the season, he was quickly back at the net saving those oncoming shots. Coach Stratton pointed out that one of the team’s greatest accomplish- ments was losing only one regular sea- son game and making up for the loss by beating the same team in the semi-fin- als. He also said that the Ludlow game was a turning point. Classical won 3-1, and after that game, they realized that they could compete with anyone in their league and win. Every member of the 1985-86 Boys’ Soccer team was very proud to be a member of not only the last Classical Soccer team, but the best team in Western Massachusetts this year. The team rejoices after another victory. 146 Soccer SOCCCl = aes Champions At Last The year was a triumph for us. -Mike Sheehan Mike Hutchinson brings the ball in for a Classical goal.

With 1985 being the last year for the Classical girls’ soccer team due to the school’s closing in June of 1986, the pressure was on for them from the very beginning of the season to contin- ue their past successes. Every player knew that it would be a difficult task because of the team’s inexperience, and that a lot of hard practice and teamwork would be necessary to win. As the season unfolded, it soon became apparent that all players were meeting the challenges to the best of their abili- ties. Thus, the season was successful due to this phenomenal determination to be the best. To be truthful, not many people ex- pected this young team to do so well, but the way that the team worked to- gether put their fears to rest, and it was a pleasant surprise for Coaches Zguro and Figeuredo. When the team lost nine seniors to graduation in 1984, the outlook for this team, which had to be rebuilt around younger, less exper- ienced players, was unclear. However, this team was able to bounce back from defeat easier than an older team; leading to an overall record of 11 wins, 7 losses, and one tie in the 1985 season. Lisa Hogan, a junior forward, led the team’s offense with 14 goals and 12 assists, which tied the record of only one other player in the league for the highest totals. Also contributing their best to the offense were forwards Tina Busha and Kristin Donahue. 148 Soccer Consistent defense was also a key to Classical’s success. Sophomore Tina D’Agostino exhibited excellent skills as sweeper, with Diana McGibney, Carolyn Camerota, and Jennifer McCarthy helping out as fullbacks. Among the new talent that rounded out the team, freshman goalie Barbie Arel, after being pulled up from J.V., turned in an outstanding performance with 7 shutouts. The season had few disappoint- ments, which were far outweighed by the memorable moments. For exam- ple, none of the players will ever for- get the Western Mass. quarterfinal game against Minnechaug, which Clas- sical won 4-2 after seven overtimes when senior Gina Roy netted the win- ning goal in a shootout. In addition to the many returning starters on the Varsity team, there are a number of J.V. players who gained valuable skills and experience during this season. The J.V. had its best sea- son of the last five years under the su- perb guidance of Coach Figeuredo, ending with a record of 11 wins, 3 losses, and 8 ties. Since the team was mostly made up of juniors and sophomores, the outlook for next season, the first at Springfield Central High School, is excellent. The team also has a lot of determination and enthusiasm, and the players say that Central is definitely the team to watch in ’86. soccer Surprise They were striving _for excellence. -Coach Zguro Lisa Hogan races intently to beat everyone to the ball.

Classical’s Cross Country team ex- perienced both the sweet taste of vic- tory and the bitter taste of defeat this year. The winning taste came from the two wins this year that beat last year’s 1 and 8 record. “We ran our hardest, but the numbers weren’t there ... ” said second year runner Glenn Cratty. Mr. Podworski, the veteran coach of the team, implemented a new strategy for this year’s home meets at Forest Park. The strategy was called, quite simply, “the Wall‘. When the meet be- gan, Classical runners would hang back “walling out” opposing harriers. This situation allowed Classical’s top runners, Kevin McCaffrey and Caleb Guevara, to take commanding leads. However, strategy was not enough, as the team discovered with a home re- cord of 0 and 5. Losing was not a great damper on the spirit of these endurant runners. They struck back against Chicopee and Holyoke, winning both meets and giving a big boost to the team’s morale. The Chicopee victory was Classical’s 150 Cross Country first in over a year. After Chicopee’s top runners placed first and second, the meet looked like another disap- pointing loss. However, Classical run- ners took the next five spots, bringing a dramatic and exciting end to the race. Unfortunately, Classical’s win- ning ways were brought to a sudden halt when their two top runners were put out of action by injuries. At the Western Mass individual races, Sophomore Josh Rice and Freshman Jamie Podworski placed well in their respective grade divi- sions. Later on, at the Western Mass. team championships, Classical defeat- ed three opposing teams in the league. The Classical runners are eagerly awaiting next year’s combination with Technical. “It will mean the joining of Tech’s talented individuals and Classi- cal’s good team. We'll be hard to beat,” said veteran Classical runner Josh Rice. Next year, as Central Cross- Country, the team hopes to be a top contender for the Western Mass. title.

Most of them are un- aware of the fact that they them- selves have good study habits which help them to organize their time efficiently. For example: those students with good grades find themselves very casually taking notes, just writing -down a word or two from what seems to be important in a class lecture or discussion. They are one step ahead of oth- ers because they always know what their homework assign- ments are, when they are due, and when they have a test. After a hard practice or work- out, many students arrive home late with homework that still needs to be completed. They can usually estimate how much time is needed to finish their home- work, and use their time wisely. They discipline themselves to complete their schoolwork in or- der to have time to participate in their favorite sport. ABOVE: Dave Serafino.

Their enthusiasm and desire to do well helped them work very well together. Playing in a very competitive division, they had to compensate for their lack of size by practicing and developing their passing and shooting ability. It was this that helped them in their victory over Tech- nical High School, who ranked number one in their division. The players dedi- cation and desire to do well made it a very satisfying year for Coach Stratton, who has been coaching Classical’s bas- ketball team for fourteen years. Mike Hutchinson astonishes an opponent with his passing style. Boys’ Basketball Returning starters David Zulkiewicz, and David Serafino, were particularly noteworthy, with David Serafino lead- ing the team in points. Mr. Stratton em- phasized, however, that the entire team was outstanding in all aspects of the sport, working together like clockwork. With three starters returning and a good nucleus, the outlook for next year’s Central High team looks very promising. Also, the combining of the players from both teams, Classical and Technical, will allow Cental High’s first basketball team to be as successful and competitive as both talented teams.

The Classical girls’ basketball team for the 1985-86 season used their excel- lent attitude, good team spirit, and out- standing skills to lead the tearm to a successful record. Coach Tipton stated that this year was particularly notable because the players exhibitted depth of play and team togetherness. Four returning starters — Meg Phil- lips, Lisa Hogan, Vickey Montgomery, and Tammie Black — utilized their ex- perience to lead the team and help the other players develop their game. An- other facet of the team’s success was the outstanding individual skills that many of the girls showed. For exam- ple, newcomer Barbie Arel stood out as a leader and as an excellent offensive and defensive player. Meg Phillips continued her awesome defensive play and her high scoring. Chris Brooks, Kristin Nelson, Sheryl Rosinski, and Chris Batiste all excelled in outside shooting. One of the major highlights of this season was the dramatic 37-34 victory over Palmer after being behind in the early second half. The outlook for Central High School’s first girls’ basketball team is good for two reasons. This year’s J.V. team was excellent, and it will be a source for new, developing talent in the years to come. Also, this year’s Varsity team is comprised solely of un- derclassmen, so most of these excel- : lent players will be a part of Central Gee, the basket sure is far away! High’s first team ever.

Although this year’s hockey team was a young one, this did not prevent them from contradicting everyone’s first thoughts about the season. The team wasn’t expected to go very far this season, but they ended up with a very rewarding record. This year’s team was under the di- rection of Coach Jim Carlin, who has been Classical’s hockey coach for sev- eral years. The two captains of the team were Gary Grout and David Pel- letier, both of whom were outstanding in leading their team to victories. Aside from Gary and David, other re- turning skaters were Desi Dogan, Steve Garete, Scott Donoghue, Joe Musa, Tim Kotfilia, Jim Carlin and Tim McMahon. This year presented two new goaltenders: Mike Wells and Marty Curley. One of the biggest assets to the team this year was the fact that there was a great deal of togetherness. As senior Desi Dogan pointed out, “we always came through for each other when we really needed it — on and off the ice’. Coach Carlin agreed by saying “the at- titude of the team was a very unselfish one and there was a great comraderie’”’. Captain Gary Grout, whom his team- mates and the coach agreed was one of the best players in the league today, felt there was a good “nucleus” of players. Gary said that this year’s team was one of the smartest around and because “it was not the biggest, or strongest, or fastest, (they) had to work that much harder to excel”. In- deed, his team did work extra hard this season to achieve the respect that they deserved.

The 1985-86 Classical Wrestling Team got off to a slow start this year, losing the first two matches in a row and not wrestling to their full poten- tial. This initial lull can perhaps be ex- plained by the entrance of a new coach, Mr. Fenton from Cathedral, and the players’ subsequent uncertainty with a different coaching style. Pre- viously, under Coach McLaughlin, Classical wrestlers had been driven ex- ternally. Coach Fenton, on the other hand, relied more upon the individual’s internal motivation, and the adjust- ment was understandably difficult. Despite the initial disheartening re- cord, the Bulldogs rallied in the middle of the season as they became accus- tomed to the new leadership and stomped Cathedral once again for the last time. Thus they regained morale and the old Bulldog spirit, astonishing overconfident teams at later meets. Captains Denroy Morgan, Mark Sticca, and Sean Donovan provided su- perior team leadership, each support- ing the wrestlers and coaches through the transitional period. They provided role models, as well, wrestling superb- 160 Wrestling ly, with Denroy Morgan finishing with an undefeated defeated personal re- cord.

The Junior Varsity team had an unofficial 9-1 record, en- suring that the few seniors of the team will be replaced by more than ade- quate talent.

Faith Mallalieu doesn’t miss a point. The Classical Boys’ Swim team for the 1985- 1986 school year left its final mark with an outstanding season that ended with a very fa- vorable record. Under the supervision and ex- pertise of Coach Arthur Barnes, the Bulldogs were guided to a very productive and success- ful season. The swimmers found him to be a strong leader for the team. The season was exceptional because of the number of participating athletes, the teams tremendous spirit, enthusiasm, and the contin- ual support offered by each swimmer to his teammates. All of these assets resulted in a very well-organized and coordinated team . Some returning starters for the season in- cluded Mark Fellion, Dan Cheney, Tim Berry, and Joe Lee. A few swimmers who stood out in certain divisions were Dan Cheney and Tim Berry in freestyle, Mike Clifford and David Kim for backstroke, and Mark Fellion and Joe Lee with the breast stroke. Tridung Nguyen and David Pike showed incredible style and form in their diving. One of the most exciting and tense meets of the season was the meet against East Long- meadow. The point totals were extremely close, and with the well-deserved victorious score of 92-80, Classical earned a tie in their division and a spot in the championships. The outlook for Central High School’s first boys’ swim team is very positive. With the new facilities and the new and returning ath- letes, the swimmers will be able to train and develop their skills as individuals in order to compete well as a team. The overall view of the Classical Boys’ Swim team is that it is getting better and more competitive with each following year.

Jennifer Stimson was this year’s captain, and Esther Kim was the co-captain. The re- turning swimmers were Suzy Kim, Lori Nelson, Esther Kim, Kathy La- mothe, Jennifer Stimson, Krista Shea, Debbie Hervieux, and Christine Clif- ford. Some of the promising newcom- ers on the team were Cara Demusis, Jen McCarthy, Cathy Moniz, Molly Bartlett, and Nicki Ricardi. They all contributed greatly to the successes of the team this past year. One of the most exciting meets was against Hast Longmeadow. Classical won, but it was one of the closest meets of the season. There were many excel- lent individual performances by Classi- cal at this meet. According to Coach Zguro, next year’s outlook is promising. Having a pool at the school will save time travel- ling to and from practice, and the use of the weight room will help make a stronger team. He anticipates another good year to start Central High’s Girls’ Swim Team on an aquatic winning streak. Practice makes perfect. Jennifer McCarthy works to improve her speed. Girls’ Swimming Smooth Strokes swimming We had a good time. - Lori Nelson Diver Debbie Hervieux devotes 100% of her concentration on her dive.

Girls’ Swimming 165 bobbeeeoohooed Suspended In Time High school is just a small taste of life. Through our laugh- ter, tears, and dreams, we have grown to maturity and adult- hood. Cramming for midterms, dressing for the prom, and cry- ing over hopeless crushes are times that have faded into memories. But sometimes, these memories become hazy and almost forgotten, which is why a yearbook is so cherished. The fun times and craziness of high school achieve immortal- ity in the pages of this book. In ten or twenty years from now, you will take down this book and laugh, sigh, or cry as you fondly flip through the pages of your past. You will feel that special magic that will bring you back in time, making yes- terday become today.
