We have finally made it! After years of dreaming about going to the “new school,”’ we have lived through a complete year at Springfield Central High. It wasn’t all that bad, was it? In this yearbook, we, the staff, hoped to use lively photographs and energetic stories in order to allow you to experience your high school years each time you open your yearbook in the future. It was our job to make sure that you never forget. We spent long, tedious hours pour- ing over theme suggestions until we arrived at ‘New and Improved.” This phrase seemed to appeal to everyone and why not? It was the plain truth: the class of 1987 was very much new and improved. Obviously, the entire class was new since it was a hybrid of Classical and Technical seniors that was to be the first graduating class from Central. The building itself was the sparkling multi-million dollar creation that at- tracted the attention of the entire city of Springfield, and it was a huge im- provement over the former facilities at Classical and Technical High Schools. Although the two structures were beautiful, historical sites with distinctive character and ideal access to downtown resources, these schools were also falling apart around the students and faculty. At least at Central, rainy days didn’t bring water- falls flowing down the staircases. Throughout this book we have ex- plored the academic, extracurricular, and social advantages that being stu- dents at Central provided us with. So sit back with the book, kick off your shoes, relax, and reflect upon all those great times that you had at this new and improved school of ours. Enjoy!

Visions of A sun, and surf pop into your mind. Bikini- clad bodies, all trying to acquire the perfect tan, glistened with Suntan oil. Muscled torsos, bronzed by the blinding sun, had women’s heads turning. On the flip side, there were those whose bodies refused to tan in the Slighest, settling instead for a bright shade of lobster red. And then there was the sand. Sand in your hair, sand in your bathing Suit, sand in your shoes, and sand in your tape deck! And the sun! Blazing heat rays pounded down upon your poor unprotected body. Lymph nodes emmitted gallons of sweat, leav- ing your body slick and odorous. But as soon as you got into the water, all of your complaints about the sand and sun disap- peared. Waves crashed into your body, leaving you cool and re- freshed. You swam out farther and farther until your toes could not touch the sandy bottom any longer, and you bodysurfed the next wave into the beach. You repeated this game over and over again until your pleasure abated. You slowly made your way to shore, feeling somewhat heavier than when you entered the ocean. You flopped down on your huge beach blanket, put on some sunglasses, and sSurren- dered your body to the sun’s ri golden rays. As you reclined there spread-eagled, you felt the drops of water on your body slowly evaporate into the air as the heat baked you mercilessly. If you concentrated hard enough, you might have been able to feel the melanin working its way up towards your outer Skin. If you were lucky, you would have a tan in about 3 to 4 hours. As you soaked up the sun, oth- er activities were occuring around you. A volleyball game had been set up at the far end of the beach. Sounds of the ball be- ing hit reached your ears, and your half-conscious mind tuned into a nearby conversation on the advantages of the string biki- ni. Personally you opted for the One-piece bathing suit. Sounds of the pounding surf reached you, lulling you into a more drowsy state. You could hear the sounds of children’s laughter, the strains of the latest top 40 songs, and the words of an agi- tated parent reprimanding a de- linquent child. Finally the day drew to an end, and you still haven’t achieved your perfect tan. But there was always a to- morrow to look forward to. If what you have just read had you reminiscing and long for the long, hot days at the beach, have no fear - there is still next year. Monique Mata Hundreds flocked to the beaches last summer to take advantage of the hot and sunny weather. Crowds like these were typical of many beaches. SUMMER 7 ‘Attention Shoppers!”’ S ome students do it on the basis of need, and some do it simply to find a place to hang out. Oth- ers do it to kill time on a rainy after- noon, but still others have made shopping trips a weekly ritual. No matter what the reason is, hundreds of high school students may be found week after week spending their time as well as their paychecks in a variety of local stores. To find out exactly what drives teens to spend their money on these expeditions into the malls, one has but to ask. For instance, one Central senior, Joe Ferraro, said he spent a lot of time in such record stores as Strawberries and Record Town. Joann Troiano was a bit more generous with her money; she visited the stores fre- quently to buy gifts for birthdays, graduations, and sometimes just to brighten a friend’s day. But most students admitted that the desire to acquire the latest fash- ions was what lead them to dig into their pockets and shell out the cash. When it came to buying clothes, the stores frequented most often by Cen- tral girls were Lemer’s and Ormond's. The stores that attracted the guys from Central were Chess King, The Top: Justin Gates shops for the latest Casual Male, and Steiger S. 5G = : hits.

Of course there are some symp- toms that indicate such a serious ill- ness; hunger, fatigue, and an alarm- ing absence of money once the delirium wears off...

School's Rude Awakening A synonomous word for “‘leisure’’ is ““life’’. We work, go to school, and oth- erwise suffer so that we can find free time in which to indulge in earthly plea- sures. Life without leisure is mere sur- vival, similar to the mundane existence of the lower life forms we are accus- tomed to stepping on. Each year, a new craze dominates the leisure forum; however, there are always the old classics which have practically become American institu- tions. Different people generally have different tastes, but we have not let this fact discourage our coverage of the many lesisure time activities that soci- ety partakes in. In this sub-section of student life, we hope to show you yourself, your friends, and several unfamiliar faces engaging in various leisure practices, many of which rich businessmen would call barbaric and highly unreputable. A controversial topic for our leisure section has been debated as ‘“‘neces- Sary”’ as well as a “luxury.” This topic is sleeping. There are those of us healthy souls who depend upon 8 hours of deep sleep, as opposed to those night people who grab a three- hour nap in their spare time. Anywhere you look, you can find a person sleep- ing, or at least attempting to: at home, on the beach, in the car, in school. Of- ten-times, we tend to lack discretion as to where we catch a few winks, particu- larly during the summer months, when one finds himself sleeping well past noon.But hey, that’s what the lazy summertime is for. . . ; Glenn Cratty miss school at all.

That is the exquisite pe- riod of time between dusk and dawn when parents, school, and other life-threatening pressures fade away into dark- ness and beautiful, vivid im- ages bask in neon light. In other words, you get to go out. But now that you're free, where do you go? Well, the way most industrious stu- dents look at it, there are three intelligent choices as to how to be entertained for an evening. For instance, the Zone Art Center on Dwight Street in downtown Springfield offered its audience the chance to take in live local bands, pro- gressive art exhibits, and lots of atmosphere each time it opened its doors. The new- wave and punk-influenced music that the club usually. featured attracted basically a group of people open to expe- riencing new aspects of culture. Of course clubs were not the only scenes developing during the hours around mid- night. There was almost al- ways a Party going on, particu- LEFT: Megan McDonald and Bill Goldschmidt en- joy the live music that the Zone frequently pre- sents.

ABOVE: Mary Owens unwisely left town for the studies Springfield’s Fourth of July fireworks. weekend. Or else the crazed ; ; masses of school chums would congregate in the most bizarre places in order to so- cialize: movie house parking lots, thick woods, or deserted cemeteries. Birthday parties also occu- pied much time, whether they ‘were traditional sweet-sixteen bashes or casual cake-and-ice cream orgies. And who could forget those graduation par- ties, the nights of wild aban- don and joyous celebration over the fact that high school was finished. Many Central students at- tended city celebrations com- memorating Springfield’s 350th birthday in 1986, or the Fourth of July festivities that lit up the sky in an impressive display of fireworks. And final- ly, the Big E drew thousands of people to its midways after dark where friends met to test their skills on the games, to experience the amusing rides, or just to stroll around in an attempt to catch someone’s eye. After all, who wants to spend a night out alone?

SS ie a MODERN ART Where would the people of this country be without their daily dose of culture? The radio, the component stereo, and MTV have be- come indispensible institu- tions. A day without music is about as much fun as a day of camping naked in the Antarctic. Whether your tastes include Pop, Bop, New Wave, Classical, Punk, Funk, Junk, Rhythm and Blues, Folk, Heavy Metal, Jazz, Hardcore, Country, Chamber music, Bayou blues, Elevator muzak or just good old Rock-n-Roll, your local record shop can most likely accommodate you. On the other hand, over the past few years, MTV has finally begun to show some dignity and some class. Their 1986 MTV video awards show was far more respectable and interesting than that of the previous year. Because of MTV the question has be- come “Have you seen that 12 LEISURE video?’’, not “Did you hear that song?” We would be negligent in our journalistic duties if we were to omit a favorite American past-time: the movies. Over the summer, the theatre was home to such blockbusters as “‘Top Gun”, the romantic trials of a top fighter pilot; ‘Ferris Bueller’s Day Off’’, one man’s struggle to take it easy; ‘Aliens’’, a battle for- survival against brood of vi- cious monsters; “The Fly’’, the gruesome tale of a man gentically fused with a com- mon housefly; and several other motion pictures which horrified, amused, and amazed the American movie-going public.

Thee This section is specially designed for those who go down in history as the first graduating class from Central High School—the seniors. You may at first just glance at the pictures in this sec- tion, but in time, when high school is long gone, this section of your yearbook will capture Some special and some not- so-special memories of the past. Look- ing at these carefully written stories and vivid pictures will bring back such senior year memories as your decision about what college to attend, your first car, your choice of careers, your date for the prom, and that special friend who al- ways put a smile on your face. Seniors, don’t let these special moments slip away! Relive all the happiness, sadness, and confusion of being a senior. Take a careful look because pictures alone do not always tell a story. Chris Parker Shelly Warner Seniors Editors SENIORS 35 SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS When the senior class officers were elect- ed, they realized that the class of ’87 was going to be unique in that the senior class was a mixture of students from two differ- ent schools. They were forced into a new situation where they had to unite and co- operate in order to succeed. It took time and much effort to adjust, but because of their enthusiasm and spirit, they came to- gether and strove to deserve the title of “the first and best class of Central.’ Representative Kim Monette said, ‘‘Al- though it wasn’t easy, we made sure that everything down to the smallest detail was only first class for the best class. ‘‘This determination was shared by everyone in Student Governmnet, and the officers, who included Audrey Lloyd as President, Susie Delrio as Vice-President, Nancy Paquette as Treasurer, Jennifer Shea as Secretary, and Dianna McGibney, Robert Markel, Kim Monette, and Young No as Representa- tives, agreed that all the time put in had certainly paid off. “I wanted to help make the first year a memorable one. I wanted to be a part of it, said Secretary Jennifer Shea. It was truly an unforgettable year in which many fundraisers were held to raise enough money to cover the cost of the Se- nior Banquet and Prom. Some of these fun- draisers included carnation sales, dances, a senior tee-shirt and hat sale, a magazine drive, and the traditional blood drive. One thing that made these sales suc- cessful was the way students supported and participated each fundraiser. If it wasn’t for their help, these fundraisers would no t have been as profitable as they . were. Despite any difficulties that arose, Kim Monette described the year by saying, “The Class of ‘87 flew high like the eagle with the spirit and pride that a senior class should have. We hope it will be passed onto the next senior class of Central.” Youla Stamatopoulos President: Audrey Lloyd Representatives: Top: Kim Monette, Young No, Dianna McGibney. Right: Robert Markel.

This was certainly true of the se- niors. The majority of them had hopes of being successful and making lots of money. They dreamed of be- coming engineers, aspiring actors, professional athletes, and owning successful businesses, but they real- ized that in order to make these dreams come true, a good education was necessary. That is why many chose to attend college upon leaving Central. Some chose colleges nearby, while others decided to go to college in another state. Then there were those seniors that planned to work instead of attending college, and those who had not yet decided what they wanted to do. With SO many options available, who could blame them for their indecision? Whatever their goals for the future are, the seniors will hopefully be suc- cessful, as well aS happy in accom- plising them.

Vot- ing took place, and the mascot of the Golden Eagle was chosen. School spirit was shown throughout the year in the great number of activities that were successfully conducted, often with awesome turnouts. The first Cen- tral High pep rally was an experience for all. The atomsphere was one of pure excitement, and an echoing of the constant applause for the fall sports teams could be heard through- out the gym. The different classes each had their own ways of showing their spirit, such as holding carnation sales, hat days, and dances. Although Halloween was senior dress up day, members of all classes showed their spirit by wearing ingenious costumes to school. The school store immediately be- gan selling ‘“Central’’ items. Every- thing from sweats to socks to pom- poms sold rapidly. Before the big games, students showed their support by purchasing and wearing ribbons displaying the name of Central’s upcoming oppo- nent and the location of the game. Also, seen in front of the school were various eye-catching posters remind- ing the fledgling Eagles to support their teams. Not only did Central students show their spirit by participating in extra- curricular activities, but in taking aca- demics seriously as well. They strove for better grades as another way in which to show their interest in the school, and helped Central earn the recognition it deserved. From the first day in September the Eagle spirit was circling the school grounds, and it should soar for years to come.

American authorities aided Iran with arms against Iraq with the promise that Iranians would release American hostages in the Middle East. Corazon Aquino, President of the Phillipines, was named Woman of the Year. South Africa was the center of controversy this year with many more protests against Apartheid. Puerto Rico saw one of its worst years yet as on December 31, 1986, a hotel fire in San Juan, caused by arson and sparked by union grei- vances among workers, claimed many lives. Nationally, America gripped itself for two of the biggest problems ever. The epidemic of AIDS threat- ened the entire country. Startling research about AIDS was released this year stating that by 1990, three out of every five people will know Top: Phil Simms, quaterback of the New York Giants, was the M.V.P. for Superbowl XxXI. Above: Huey Lewis and the News received cred- it for 1986’s number one song, “Stuck With You”. 44 SENIORS somebody who had died of AIDS. The other major problem this year was the drug epidemic with crack. This drug addicted many Ameri- cans, especially young people. Economically, gas prices dipped below $1.00 a gallon nationwide, giving automobilists a big break. The country lost the services of retiring Speaker of the House, Tip O'Neil. It was a year Of numerous crash- es, from planes to trains. One such tragic incident was the Amtrack crash in Maryland, in which many people were killed because the en- gineer of the train was believed to have been under the influence of marijuana. Locally, Springfield closed the year of its 350th birthday. While celebrating Springfield’s birthday, our city made The Guiness Book of World Records during its pancake breakfast, which served 75,000 pancakes to 25,000 people. One of the top stories of the year was the opening of a brand-new fa- cility at Blunt Park. This new build- ing housed Classical and Technical High School students. It was called S pringfield Central High School. Economically speaking, Spring- field continued its effects to better the community. Monarch Place, which was to be home for several new businesses and hotels, was opened. Trials were a hot item this year, with the trials of Juan R. Ortiz and Francis J. Pilecki. Juan Ortiz was found guilty of being an accessory to two murders, those of local po- lice officers Michael Schiavina and Alain Beauregard. He was _ sen- tenced to two concurrent life terms. Francis Pilecki was tried on two sex- ual assaults after he allegedly made sexual advances on two Stu- dents at Westfield State College. The year in professional sports was very rewarding for the East Coast. The New York Mets defeated the Boston Red Sox in seven games to win the World Series. The Boston Celtics won their sixteenth champi- onship against the Houston Rock- ets. In football, the New York Gi- ants defeated the Denver Broncos 59 to 20 in the Super Bowl. New York native Mike Tyson became the youngest champion in boxing his- tory at the age of 20. Locally, the Springfield Indians rallied in the Southern division to gain a respect- able standing. Nancy Lieberman was the first woman to play pro bas- ketball, and she was a part of the Springfield Fame. In the Entertainment world, all eyes focused on shows like The Cosby Show, Wheel of Fortune, and also that show that contained a zany little alien named A f There was also a variety of movies. Every- thing from animated films like An American Tale to Whoopie Gold- berg’s Jumping Jack Flash to Croc- odile Dundee or even Platoon drew crowds to the theaters. On a sadder note, America lost three outstand- ing entertainers. Cary Grant, who was a noted actor, died in his eight- ies. Desi Arnaz, who played Ricky Riccardo on Love Lucy for years, died of lung cancer. Also Ray Bolger, the scarecrow in The Wiz- ard of Oz, died. In the world of music, the num- ber one song was “Stuck with You’’ by Huey Lewis and the News. At this year’s American Music Awards, Whitney Houston walked away with a few honors. The Jackson family made their name heard as usual when Janet Jackson made every- One want to get up and dance. Bruce Springsteen’s new album set called Live 1975-1985 sold out in days nationwide. Some of the most requested groups were Bon Jovi, Run-DMC, and Genesis. In conclusion, the school year of -1986-1987 had its ups and downs. The world took many turns this year, some for the good of all and some for the bad. Whether it was sports or politics, it was one very interesting year.

SENIORS 45 E BEST OF PRIENOS For most people, the first day of school was the toughest to get through. One thing that eased the sense of anxiety everyone felt was seeing familiar faces. Standing out- side in groups, friends were seen greeting each other, some for the first time since June. After the bell ran, everyone searched for homeroom, some feeling depressed that school was Starting again, but others very ex- cited that they could be with their friends everyday. That was some- times the only motivation that got them to school in the morning. Other than study, lunchtime was the half-hour of the day that students looked forward to the most. For some, it was the only time to social- ize. Lunch was a time for discussing what happened when and where, and to whom. Even though the tables were too small for everyone to fit around there was always a way to crowd together, and that was what was important. Although groups of friends were great, there was always a need to have at least one special friend who could be relied upon. This true friend was constantly available in order to help in a crisis or just to have fun in the midst of boredom. These close buddies went to dances, games, and parties. A friend like this was some- one who listened to problems, hopes, and dreams, and probably felt the same. Soon the school year was drawing to a close, and the realization hit many student that more time should have been spent with those friends who were never going to be seen again. Some people went off to col- lege, others stayed here, but no mat- ter how far the distance amounted to, true friends always remained friends at heart.

The fashion year of 1986-87 was a time which styles included everything from the latest fashions to the wildest haircuts. No one could possibly say that one style of clothing was the norm at Central High. Those 501 jeans weren’t seen in just the traditional blue shade, but also in black and even yellow. Stretch pants and oversized sweaters were still accept- able, but baggy clothes were rapidly gaining popularity. Coca-Cola brought back its Classic Formula and introduced Max Head- room, the computer-generated talk show host who knew all there was to know about catching the wave. As Coke’s spokesperson, Max Headroom was seen everywhere: on watches, sweatshirts, and T-shirts. Coca-Cola also marketed its own trend-setting line of clothing which was seen throughout Central High. The available garments included colorful sweatshirts, rugbies, and jackets. Athletes, band members, and various other school-related activity participants all showed off their new Central jackets, while other students chose to bundle up in long or short wool coats. Reebok still pulled in the dough, but their sneakers were no longer designed just for aerobics, but also for everything from basketball to tennis. Plain white Reeboks were not the only color being worn, aS a variety of colors including pink, yellow, green, blue, an d even black with flourescent soles dressed students’ feet. Popular footwear did not just encom- pass Sneakers since ankle-high, lace-up, leather boots were a new sensation among girls. Loafers also made a come- back on the feet of both guys and girls. Haircuts included everything from Short and spiked, to long and curly. Some cuts for both guys and girls were so Similar that from behind, it was often difficult to distinguish whether that head belonged to a she or a he. Popular wrist fashions were knotted bracelets in all sorts of colors, and gold bangle bracelets were also worn. Coca- Cola and Swatch watches helped stu- dents keep track of how long it really was until that 2:10 bell finally rang. Clothes, hair, and accessories were all a part of the many fashions in school. The looks at Central were unique, and the first students through its doors cer- tainly proved that people had not only taste, but also the “in” attitude. Dena Haselkorn SENIORS 49 Did you know? 68% of the seniors had their license. 46% drove to school. 35% owned their own car. 22% thought their car was the best around. Pride And Joy Why is there always such a tremen- dous fascination with cars? Teenagers looked forward to their sixteenth birthday, not because it was ‘sweet 16,’° but because they could get their learner’s permits. Then, they spent their hard-earned money on driving school so that they could be issued their license the moment they be- came 1612, as opposed to waiting a whole six months until turning 17. Teenagers and cars go together like peanut butter and jelly. A car was an essential part of teens’ lives. Without it, they would have been lost. They would have had to rely on irritable parents, unpredictable bus sched- ules, or God forbid, walking. With a car, anything was possible and any- where was within reach. What kind of cars did teens like to drive? They definitely didn’t want to cruise in the family station-wagon; in- stead, they preferred anything that looked good and went fast. A brand- new Porsche, Corvette, Jaquar, or Fer- rari would have been nice, but actual- ly teens were willing to settle for a 1972 green Volkswagon, a rusty red Pinto, or anything else, as long as it moved and they could call it their own. After having saved up all of the money from their summer jobs, they searched and searched for a car that didn’t cost a fortune, and still looked good enough to show to their friends. Once the ‘perfect’ car was legally theirs, they treated it like a new-bom baby, constantly keeping up its main- tenance, and running to fix any and every little thing that went wrong. But despite all of the troubles - or in very rare cases, lack of troubles - a teen- ager’s car still remained an object of his undivided affection.

Each year, a large number of teens die in car accidents re- lated to drinking and driving. This topic has been preached to Sstu- dents over and over, until they couldn’t bear to lis- ten to it any longer. It was either parents Or Organizations such as SADD or MADD urging them to think twice about driving drunk. The choice is ultimately up to the student, however, and most choose not to drive drunk for every- one’s safety. SENIORS 51 Student Voice Above: Sue Miles, a member of Amnesty Inter- 4 be ; ; .

They have no input into the laws that directly affect their lives. The Presi- dent has never asked a student’s ad- vice in pertinent political issues. Pat Malone, Central senior idealist, defen- sively arqued, ‘Students should be al- lowed to take a test to discover their knowledge of the issues, and if they are sufficiently aware, those who have the interest should be allowed to vote.’’ Society is designed to allow the voice of the adult affect the world that the younger generation lives in; so students were forced to find other out- lets for expressing their political convictions. A quick look around the halls of Central High School revealed evi- dence of political statements through the students’ appearance. Earrings and pins designed with peace signs, “Anarchy Now’ symbols painted on the backs of jackets, various buttons with logos ranging from the stop of nuclear weapons to the denouncia- tion of President Reagan, and anti- aparthied messages scrawled across torn jeans could be found in any so- cially conscious student’s wardrobe. One way students received informa- tion on world situations was through organizations such as the Young So- cialist Alliance. These groups pub- lished frequent newspapers with arti- cles about the situations in South Africa, Central America, Iran, and oth- er Third World Nations. Musicians also strove to increase awareness of the problems by emphasizing certain issues, as in “Band Aid,” ‘Sun City,”’ and “Green Peace.” The Greenpeace album was only one part of the whole organization. This group has been dedicated to the preservation of our planet for years. Students got involved by donating money through the purchase of but- tons and T-shirts which were embla- zoned with slogans aimed at the pres- ervation of the planet. Amnesty International, another ac- tive organization, was set up as a cry against the holding of political prison- ers. Members were notified of particu- lar Outrages against humanity and asked to write a letter to the govern- ment responsible, protesting the pris- oner’s captivity. Ben Weaver, as a member, expressed his feelings by saying, ‘'I feel that it is the moral obli- gation of every person, regardless of age, to speak out against the injus- tices that exist in our world.” Area politicians have made an effort to help inform students through visits and gatherings. On October 28, Sena- tor Ted Kennedy came to Central and spoke to a group of students, answer- ing questions on various issues. Con- gressman Edward Boland sponsored a political breakfast for the student government in order to introduce them to politics on a state level. Ed Shultz, who was democratically elect- ed by the student body to represent central, was invited to sit in on a ses- sion of Congress in Boston. The great involvement by the entire school was in the fight against aparth- ied. During anit-aparthied week, Sep- tember 29 through October 3, stu- dents wore the symbolic red, green, and black ribbons demonstrating their knowledge of the issue. One guest speaker from South Africa spoke with interested students, while another felt that it was too great a risk to take. The program hit its climax on October 5 as students and teachers united with the rest of Springfield at a rally in front of City Hall to hear speak- ers Naomi Tutu and Maki Mandela. The whole effort from these idealistic students showed concern for their fel- low human beings, no matter their race, religion, or lifestyle.

Many girls made late appointments with their hair- dressers to make sure their hair was just perfect. At 6:30 that enchanted evening, just a few couples in formal dress arrived at the Hamden County Club. By 7:00, how- ever, the main hall was filled with young men and women, anticipating an excit- ing evening ahead. Many of the young men wore sophisticated tuxedoes, and the young ladies were clothed in a vari- ety of lace and ruffles, projecting an im- age of innocence and loveliness. The theme of the prom, ‘Tender Love’’, exemplified the feeling between the young couples. The D.J., Rocco, started the prom off with this theme and followed it with a series of upbeat songs that kept the couples on their feet dancing. The prom queen, Lori Nelson, who de- scribed the prom by saying, “It was ex- citing. And I was glad to be able to at- tend the last junior prom of Classical High School.”’ Long lines formed when prom pictures were taken during the time immediately before and after dinner. With a beautiful floral setting as the background, cou- ples would embrace for lovely pictures. The food was delicious, with the main course being a choice of beef or chicken. All too soon the last song was played, and the junior prom ended, but many people continued the celebration by go- ing to parties. This was a night which people would remember for a long time.

What do you think of when you hear the word academics? . . . Beep, time’s up. Academics involves teachers, stu- dents, counselors, vice-principals, and the principal all working together as a single unit to help learning occur and to make school a better place to be. Both the students and faculty learn and ex- change ideas with each other; all can benefit from this if they are willing to compromise and are open-minded enough. With the inclusion of this section, your awareness and appreciation of academ- ics as a whole will hopefully increase. Andrea Repsys Academics Editor ACADEMICS 59 60 ACADEMICS Mr. N. Yesu Ms. C.

Dunn ALSO NEW AND IMPROVED Because Central High School combined two schools, adminis- trators were able to combine the strong points of both Tech and Classical in making an im- proved, up-to-date educational environment for their students. Central was composed of many things that made it an out- Standing school. These things included good facilities, academ- ic excellence, and various pro- grams Suited to the needs of dif- ferent students. These three factors often intertwined to sup- port each other. For example, the lab equipment in Central was superior to that at either Tech or Classical. It included an explo- sion-proof refrigerator, a dish- washer for beakers and other lab equipment, an eyewash, and an acid shower. This equipment supplemented the academics by providing a better learning envi- ronment for students. Of course, there were problems: the shower had no drain and the gas wasn’t turned on until the fourth week of school, but these were just mi- nor flaws and the favorable as- pects overpowered them. In the same way, the different programs helped the students academically by providing even more choices than Tech or Clas- sical. Out of the three programs- Career, Humanities, and Tech- nology-one was a completely new track. Career was unlike the programs at Tech and Classical because it required three years of Career Development Labs in order to earn a diploma. These Career Labs helped students ex- plore various facets of the work- ing world and consisted of such courses as graphic arts, metal technology, and electronics. Besides the new Career pro- gram, there were few changes made. Two full credits of physi- cal education became manda- tory for graduation, another year of science was added to the hu- manities program, and two years of a foreign language became a requirement for the technology program. But aside from that, things remained basically the same. As with any new system, things were a little hectic at first. The changes took some getting used to for everyone. Eventually though, things worked out and benefitted all involved. Becky Childs Above: David Torre shows how an idea becomes a reality in the Construction Technology class.

Grimaldi Giacomoni : CENTRAL'S MAIN MAN Mr. Yesu, who had been the principal of Classical High School for five years, was given the honor of being the first principal of the new Springfield Central High School. Although he had little to do with the actual plans of the building itself, Mr. Yesu said that he was involved with ‘everything from pencils to the most advanced technology.’ He felt that Central’s most advanced feature was the institution of that technology in order to make learning more enjoy- able. He hoped that Central would, in time, earn an outstanding academic reputation, and he would like to be confident of the fact that Central provided its students with “the knowledge of how to gain knowledge.” Mr. Yesu felt that his duty as principal was to pro- vide support so that both the faculty and the students could effectively apply themselves to their respective tasks of teaching and learning. He was obviously very proud of the school when he called Central ‘‘the second love of my life.”’ He felt that we had a successful year despite the — the initial difficulties, and that the school served it’s purpose, which was “not to provide one with the tools to make a living, but to provide one with the opportunity to make life worth living.” Elayne Forastiere Far Above: Mr. Yesu goes through his agenda, sorting out his schedule.

Kokszyna henever you peered into your assistant princi- Ww pal’s office and observed them filling out dozens upon dozens of cut-slips, did you wonder if that was their entire responsibility? Actually, the responsibil- ities of Central’s Assistant Principal Trio, consisting of James Walsh, Celeste Bud-Jackson, and Roland Joyal, were many and varied. “The main thrust” of their job, as described by Mr. Walsh, was to “serve as a problem-solver for the faculty, students, and parents.’ Mr. Joyal con- firmed this when he approximated that “ninety percent of our time is spent handling student behavior problems in response to referrals from teachers in order to maintain a peaceful learning atmosphere.’’ Their diligent efforts helped the school to keep a calm equilibrium, so vital in such a large facility. In addition to this, the Trio had the responsibility of enforcing the rules and requlations through disciplinary actions. Mr. Walsh expressed that when carrying out school policies, it was most important to ‘“‘weigh the con- flicts carefully, always being both firm and fair with the students.’’ He described the worst part of his job as being forced to watch “certain students destroy themselves.” The feelings of each of these school leaders was demon- strated in Mrs. Bud-Jackson’s words when she said that the best part of her job was “‘being able to work with and get to know the kids.” In addition to this, each Assistant Principal was given a set of individual responsibilities. For example, Mr. Joyal was responsible for the Class of 1989 and athletics. Mrs. Bud-Jackson aided the Class of 1988 and worked with the federal and state funds. And finally, Mr. Walsh helped the Class of 1987 and worked with computer programming. Through both the combined and individual efforts of Mr. Joyal, Mr. Walsh, and Mrs. Bud-Jackson, they did what their titles Suggested: they assisted the principal, Mr. Yesu. They got their jobs done and ended up on top. Elayne Forastiere Ms. K. Kroll Mr. J. Krom Ms. A. Kuselias | ACADEMICS 65 ad Ms. D. Lakoma Mr. R. Lathams Mr. S. LeClair Mr. M. Ligarski Mr. E.

Joe was just a regular quy, as far as Stick figures go, who was used by Mr. Lundrigan to create images that made physics concepts easier to comprehend. Former physics student Ben Weaver Said, “One day he’d be fall- ing off a building and the next he’d be in an electrical current.’’ Mr. Lundrigan commented by saying, “Many teachers use gimmicks to stimulate interest and increase mo- tivation, and in a course like phys- ics, that may be the one thing that keeps a Student’s attention.” So far, Mr. Lundrigan’s aid has been helpful t o students as well as fun. Jennifer McCarthy summed ev- erything up by adding, “I think Joe gave the class a comic relief and helped relieve the tension.”’ Jennifer Rostek : ; ‘ 2 . ns i. i i; - 4 j rs : i a ; i - : ; i Fe ' 3 oe ae - ‘ 4 Res, .

The class consisted of aerobics and swimming. The aerobics class had eight-week sessions, beginning the week of October 20th-24th. It met ev- ery Monday, Wednesday, and Thurs- day in the school’s library. Class be- gan promptly at 2:30 and lasted a strenuous and sweaty hour. Both teachers and students were wel- comed. Verna Sawyer, the fitness in- Ms. S. Metzidakis Major Merrit structor from Friendly’s Corporation, conducted the class with tremendous ease. Some teachers who put their bodies to the test were Mr. Finkel- stein, Mrs. Deroschers, Mrs. Kelly, Ms. Scott, Mr. Anino, Miss DeCarvalho, Mrs. Denault, Ms. Camp, and Mr. Yesu. The daring Miss DeCarvalho said that ‘after having such a busy schedule, the class invigorates us with discipline.” The swimming class held every morning before school, existing be- tween the early morning hours of 6:30 am to 7:15 am. This class challenged aN Ms. A. Moorehead Mr. R. Miller teachers only. Mr. Sullivan, a physical education teacher at Central, served as lifeguard for those who participat- ed. Teachers who attended the swim- ming sessions were Mr. Krom, Mr. Burns, Mr. Canter, and Mr. DiDomen- ico. Mr. Finkelstein was quoted as saying that ‘‘the class gave the teach- ers more energy, and it brought the teachers together socially.” Now that Central High has a healthi- er faculty, why don’t we see if we can get them to take gym also?

These people worked diligently to encourage, enlighten, and provide positive role models to all of their students. Teachers offered generous amounts of homework not to penalize, but to help prepare the future generation for the world they would soon enter. Counselors gave their all in rectifying the program cards, resulting in inevitable schedule changes. Principals kept a constant watch over their weekday children, possibly wondering which student of Springfield Central High School would become President of the United States.

Think Back On The Good Have you ever awakened to hear the birds chirping sweetly, and to see the sun streaming in through your window, making you think that this is going to be a superb day? Probably not, because it’s a school day, but even some school days can be fun.

Running joyously to your worst class, computers, you found out that you had a substitute, and he just so happened not to know a thing about computers. During the chemistry lab, your classmate’s ex- periment exploded, setting the room on fire and resulting in an evacuation of the entire building.

Was the load too heavy or was it just too heavy to be carried by Mike Naglieri? Think back to one of those awful school days, when your alarm clock rang half an hour late, and you looked into the mirror, only to find your hair sticking out in a multitude of direc- tions. After quickly trying to flatten it with mousse, gel, hairspray, and glue, you ended up looking like a porcu- pine, so you donned a cap and left the house. While reading your term paper during the dash to the bus stop, the wind blew it out of your hands and conveniently scattered it all over the road. You ran after it and were almost hit by your bus. When you finally got to school, you found out that you had a schedule mix up; SO you Sat for an hour in the counselor's office in order to straight- en it out. You ran to your first class, said “Bonjour” to the teacher, only to hear ‘Buenos Dias” in reply. At lunch you hoped the day would get better. Boy, were you wrong: carrying your tray to the table, you slipped on some foreign food matter, sending your mashed potatoes onto Mr. Yesu’s suit, in a nifty geometric pattern. He didn’t appreciate your attempt to beautify the cafeteria, so you were sent to the office for unruly conduct and for playing with the ‘‘food’’. Math class was last and as the teacher started explaining the trigonometric functions of a right triangle, it occured to you that you'd forgotten how to add.

Through intense planning and effort, classes were structured for mentally handicapped high school students. With the help of six teachers and three aides, this unique program helped fifty-three students academically and socially. The basic goal that was to be achieved in the Spe- cial Education program was to help the students on an individual, personal level. For this to be accom- plished, they were divided into three groups, the non- ambulatory, the trainable and transitional, and the learning center students. The majority of the fifty- three participants were trainable or transitional stu- dents. In the trainable classes, the students would stay together with one teacher, aS oppoosed to the transitional program in which the students rotated among three teachers throughout the day. In all classes, the purpose was to teach the individual how to function along with the en- vironment, in the communi- ty, and at home. The classes that were taught in the schedule of this program dealt with things that would be used in everyday life. The stu- dents’ courses included sci- ence, reading, English, math, gym, and money management. If any prob- lems arose with the special students’ studies, the Na- tional Honor Society tu- tored them. Besides having regular teachers, each student met with a job placement spe- cialist. Many students were given on-the-job training at some area businesses such as Friendly’s and Mercy Hospital. This special as- pect of the program tried to prepare the students for the outside world of employ- ment. The Special Education program turned out to be very successful and reward- ing for the students. One of the teachers, Mr. Fabbre, felt that their ‘‘accomplish- ments were partly due to the wonderful cooperation of Central’s students and faculty.” Estell Pappas Top Left: Edwin Garcia poses for a picture while working.

The underclassmen had an advantage over the seniors in that for many of them, this year was their first school year in a high school setting. They found it easier to adjust to a new curriculum and overwhelmed the school with a sense of excitement and school spirit. In the pages of the Underclassmen Section, I have tried to capture the spirit and enjoyment that made this year so memorable. You will find old friends, new friends, and possibly someone you would like to become friends with next year. The wonderful people who made many school contributions are in these pages as well. | hope you enjoy this sec- tion as much as | enjoyed recording your best memories of your underclassmen years.

Cindy DeGrace Underclassmen Editor UNDERCLASSMEN 75 LEADERSHIP AND UNITY: THE JUNIOR CLASS WAY The Junior class elected an excellent group of high-achievers and leaders as its class officers this past fall. Jennifer McCar- thy was chosen as President and Jennifer Hamelin as Vice-president. Joe Reilly and Elayne Forastiere filled the positions of Treasurer and Secretary respectively. And finally, the Junior Councilors were Jeremy Madden, Jonas Hutchison, K imya Warfield, and Barry Collins. All of the officers were confident, orga- nized, and enthusiastic as they combined their efforts to coordinate activities for the benefit of the Junior Class. Their spirit showed through both their actions and their words. Jennifer McCarthy expressed her satisfaction with the accomplishments of the Junior Class when she said, “'I feel sited that we used our potential to become the Vice-President: Jennifer Hamelin best Junior Class in the City of Springfield- and had a good time doing it.” Jonas Hutchison, who was a Sophomore Representative at Classical in addition to his participation in Student Government this year, said, ‘I think that this year was the most organized and successful of all our high school years so far.” There were many things that aided the Junior Class in its efforts to excel. Elayne Forastiere noted that she felt, ‘The most important factor that contributed to our success this year was the unity that was demonstrated by the class as a whole.” The respect that the Class of 1988 showed its student government represen- tatives was clearly portrayed in Joe Reilly’s statement that “there are four ways to do things: the right way, the wrong way, the American way, and the Junior Class way.” Elayne Forastiere Secretary: Elayne Forastiere Representatives: Jonas Hutchinson, Barry Collins, and Jeremy Madden Treasurer: Joseph Reilly 76 JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS Left: Yolette Thomas surrenders to Carrie Condil’s attack.

Debra Brown was elected President, and Stacy Chambers was Vice- president. Daniel Collins held the position of Secretary, and Yvonne Kasparian was elected Treasurer. The Student Council members were Erica Hyland, Kimya Leach, and Nina Nowak. The officers of the Sophomore Student Government gained much experience and knowledge of the ways in which Central’s Student Government operated. Erica Hy- land expressed this when she said,“We learned a great deal by watching and work- ing with the Junior and Senior officers.”’ The class officers learned how to coordi- nate and plan various fundraisers such as dances and carnation sales, and devel- — ea ST oped the valuable ability to lead their class Vice-President: Stacy Chambers next year. Yvonne Kasparian showed her satisfaction with their work when she noted that ‘I had the confidence to plan activities because throughout this past year I ob- served the desires and expectations of my fellow students.” In addition to acquiring methods of rais- ing money, the Sophomore Government officers also gathered tactics designed to raise the spirit of the Class of ‘89. President Debra Brown felt that ‘the first step to the sucess of the Student Government is to get the entire class to work together as a family.”’ cali President: Debra Brown Elayne Forastiere Representatives: Erica Hyland, Kimya Leach, and Nina Howack Treasurer: Yvonne Kasparian 82 SOPHOMORE CLASS OFFICERS Left: Jonas Hutchison and Dan Kelley relax after helping with the Red Cross Blood Drive.

Mi Unknown | UNDERCLASSMEN 89 This ball of fur insists Joe Ferraro take a break from studying and play with her. 90 FEATURE A Little Help With a drooping head and a frown upon his face, he dragged himself home, all sad and quiet. The sunlight mingled with his teary eyes, causing him to trip over the small pebbles which blocked his never-ending path. What a miserable day this had been for him. Full of grief and despair, he wished that he could hide in a safe corner and never come out again to face the world (but he knew he could not do that). Well finally, he was home once again. Lazily opening the door, his streaming face was immedi- ately greeted by the wet, slob- bery licks of a furry, short crea- ture. This person pushed the creature away, but the fur-ball persisted on smacking his wet tongue upon him. With each tear lost, a kiss was gained. Sensing sadness in the boy, the hyper little harlequin began to foolishly role around the waxy floor, slipping and sliding on his back. Completing his acrobatic performance, he hopped back into the lap of his master and began squirming his mushy body into the boy’s arms. The kid fell back with laughter. What—did the boy begin to laugh? Where did all his sadness and misery go? How could this have happened? Can it be that magical, little animal cured the pain? Everyone who had been gifted with one, could relate to the comfort of a pet. To a student, after a day of frustration and pressure with a tendancy to- wards the insane, that tender friend may have been the only thing that could relax him to a more serene state of mind. The relief of pressure could have come from the over-exuberant excitement of a canine, the warm affection of a passive kitten, the hypnotic trance from eye contact with a favorite fish, or even the intimate gesture of a boa con- strictor who wrapped himself around the depressed figure; but whatever the creature, the defin- ate cure for a “Dog's Day” is sympathy from a faithful pet.

FEATURE 91 SPECIAL ED. HOMEROOMS Central High School had several homerooms for the students in the special education program. These students were there for various rea- sons: having a handicap, having a learning disorder, or just needed the special attention that the pro- gram provided. They followed a regular class schedule and enjoyed the use of Central’s excellent facili- ties, such as the swimming pool and the hot tub in the training room. Special education students al- ways had time for a big smile and a cheerful hello. They lent a warm spirit of comradiery and together- ness to Central’s student body.

They supplied writings and up- dates of the latest news, entertainment, organization of class functions, a year- book, and performed many other tasks that were not recognized by the every- day student on a regular basis. Being new to the school, these home- rooms wanted to display their improved work.

STRIVING FOR PERFECTION he 1985-86 boys’ track team truly symbolized the quality of team spirit. Everyone tried their best throughout the season and, as Coach Duckowicz said, “Never has so much been done by so few.” The returning starters were Steve Phillips in the high jump event and Jeff Toomey in the 500 yard hurdles. Some promising newcomers were Caleb Guevara in the 880 yard dash, Jamie Podworski in the two- mile race, and Misael Rodriquez in the jave- lin throw and the 330 yard low hurdles. The team captains, Alvin Ross and Vincent Pelletier, both excelled in the 100 and 200 yard events. Senior Alvin Ross was the win- ner in the Western Mass Division I 100 me- ter dash, and later placed in the state meet at Reading, Ma. The determination, spirit, and good sportsmanship displayed by each of the athletes will never be forgotten. Although they won no meets, the entire team felt that each person did his personal be st and represented himself and his school with pride.

PURE DETERMINATION he 1985-86 Classical Girls’ Track Team was one that exemplified a spirit of determination. The majority of the team was made up of freshmen and sophomores, many of whom had never participated on a track team before, but this made the season all the more chal- lenging. The ambition of all the girls helped bring them together as a close team, and being a strong-willed team whether they won or lost, their spirits never fell. The girls were determined to better their times and distances. Last season’s excellence was mainly at- tributed to the signifigant number of re- turning starters. They included Kelly Gavin, a team captain and a qualifier for the state meet with a long jump of 16’1 '2”’; Kristen Paulk, who placed fifth in the Western Mass Championship with a long jump of 15’7 ’2 ; and Debra Russell, Debbie Stockard, and Kathy Maronez. A few of the promising newcomers were Gemini Murray, who com- peted in the long jump, the 440 yard relay, and the 100 meter run; and Cheryl Carthon, Deidra Towler, and Sonya Baily also competed in the 100 meter event. Val- erie Maloni demonstrated excellence in her form and in her stride on the hurdles. All participants displayed their talents with immense pride and self-respect. They knew what being a team was all about. Mrs. Ruby Kelly, the team’s coach, ex- plained that ‘Our overall record of 3 wins and 5 losses was no indication of how well the young ladies worked together as a team.’’ With the combination of returners and newcomers, the favorable outlook for the first Girls’ Track Team at Springfield Central High School indicates that it will be one never to be forgotten. ot Dena Haselkorn It's a bird!

Back: Tim Dougherty, Coach Ligarski, Brian Murphy Ithough the 1985-86 season pro- duced a disapointing record of 6 wins and 12 losses, the Classical players found the season to be an enjoy- able one. Among those who returned for the Bull- dogs were juniors Mike Hutchinson, Tony Calcidise, Brian Murphy, Chris Dowd, and sophmore Tim Doherty. One promising newcomer singled out by coach Lagarski was sophmore Jason Schmuck. This pitcher was recognized by his teammates as Classical Varsity material. Lead by captains Angelo Pupolo, Bill Hig- gins, and Tony Karam, the Bulldogs pulled off an 8-5 victory over rival Cathedral, and knocked Chicopee out of first place with a 7-4 upset. The junior varsity exhibitted consistant improvement by the end of the season, and JV coach Barnes believed the experi- ence has successfully developed a good crop of young ballplayers who would be ready to fill in the vacant positions on the Central High School varsity squad. “We lost a lot of tough games”, says center fielder Brian Murphy, ‘‘but we had a lot of talent’. We had a strong defense and we feel we had a better team than our re- cord showed.” Left: Catcher, Tony Calci- dise wants a conference with his pitcher, Mike Ro- driguez.

Below: Another Tech player comes through in the clutch. he 1985-86 Technical High School baseball team finished the season with a great deal of room left for improvement. Among those who returned for the Tigers were Juan Caraballo, Yung No, and Robert Watson. The roster of promising newcomers in- cluded Celestino Diaz, William Vasques, and Enrique Chavez. These few players, along with captains Thor Agustus and Don- ald Ward, exerted the extra effort to go the distance during the season despite a frus- trating record. Coach Figquerdo was greatly disapointed, not because of the record, but because some of the team members failed to live up to their commitment. One can sympathise with their situation. Many do tend to give up hope after a series of losses, but as a team, they could have put a little more effort into their game. Those who did play performed with dignity and deserve recognition for their undying spirit. The team did not complete the season without gaining valuable experience.

TOGETHERNESS lassical High’s last softball team was comprised of a lucky group of girls. All their hard work was the product of the fact that ‘There was a feel- ing of togetherness and supportiveness amongst the players.’ This was the over- all view of the girls’ coach, Mr. Keough. The returning starters were Gina Roy and Claire Joyal, who were also team captains, and Meg Phillips, Terri Waltein, and Lisa Hogan, who noted that ‘‘although the team didn’t win very many games, it was the most enjoyable and learning experience for me because we supported our team- mates and everyone became close friends.’’ The promising newcomers in- cluded Barbie Arel, Julie Roy, and Lori Waltein. The game that held the most meaning and importance for the players was that against the first place team, Longmeadow, which Classical won eight to six. ““Long- meadow expected to have a sure win,” commented Julie Roy who, like many other players, planned on playing again next sea- son at Central.

The Technical High Softball team was fairly confident that they would triumph because they had won the first game, but they did not want to be over- ly assured. The air of anxiety was very high, and it kept all of the players on edge. It was these two games, both of which Tech won, that held the most meaning for the 1985- 86 team. The returning starters for last season were Tracy Davis, team captain, and Vicky Lewis, catcher. Denise Caraballo at second base; Tonya Andrews at shortstop; and Carol Bateman at third base were the promising newcomers. Though the Technical Tigers’ losses out- numbered their wins six to eight, it did not lower the team’s morale at all. Having leamed how a well-played sport can teach a team much about camaraderie and friendship, many of the players planned on being part of the next season and uniting with Classical’s team in order to attempt to be the best softball team in Western Mass.

SOFTBALL 107 “Despite our disappointing record, we enjoyed our achievements.” HAD A BALL he 1985-86 Classical Boys’ Tennis team was composed of seven well- rounded and high-spirited players. Under the supervision of Coach Miles Tip- ton, they set out determined from the first practice to make their final season a mem- orable one. Retuming players Chris Keroack, Craig Dinnie, Scott Sweeny, and Bob Markel were ready come spring to make their team a victorious one, aS new players Ben Weaver, Prkash Chhugani, and Chris Ryan excer- cised their potential. West German foreign exchange student Oliver Glaser was anoth- er reason the tennis team strove to excel. He was the team’s top-seated player and battled his way to a personal record of eight wins, two losses. To the team’s disappointment, Classical lost four close matches to Agawam, Hol- yoke, Chicopee Comp, and East Long- meadow. Each one of these contests were lost only by a small margin of 3-2. The Bulldogs completed the season with an overall record of four wins, seven losses. Coach Tipton felt that “the team was good, but the opposition was just a little better’’. The players also felt that it was a tough, but rewarding season for Classical’s last tennis team as a whole, and for each individual member as well.

Coach Macomber recalled the past season as ‘“‘competitive-and with a couple of breaks our record could very well have been reversed.” . With only two returning starters, Chris- tine Clifford and Pam Whitcomb, the team depended heavily upon the many new members. These new members included Jennifer McCarthy, Belisa Anzalotti, Julie Gates, Pat Whitcomb, Sheryl Rosinski, and Lori Rosinski. A great deal of hard work and practice at Forest Park helped the girl’s team perform well in the individual tournament held at Smith College last spring.

Team captains Mike Hutchison, Bernard LoChiatto, and Andy Vivenzio helped keep the team together through the good and the bad. Due to a great amount of injuries during the entire season, the team never played with their full string of varsity start- ers. Fullbacks Mike Hutchison and Kevin Kennedy each suffered foot injuries, but after a few weeks, Mike was back on the field. Although these difficulties greatly handicapped the team, they still played superbly. The team showed its true colors in its victory over city rival Cathedral with a 4-2 win. Promising newcomers Frank Bruno, Chris Ryan, Tom Smith, and Ciro Ricciardi all played with so much determination that their victory was well deserved. Goalie Bernard LoChiatto greatly benefit- ted the team. Defending the goal better than anyone else could have, he saved many shots that could have caused the Eagles agonizing losses. All the hard work paid off when they made it to the quarterfinals. Going into six overtimes against Agawam, the team played with outstanding effort before even- tually being defeated by one goal in a final shootout. Coach Stratton commented that he was ‘proud of our team” as they ended a super season with 10 wins, 3 ties, and 5 losses. The first Central High Boys’ Soccer T eam was one to be recognized among the best in Springfield. Dena Haselkorn Top: Andy Vivenzio won't let this one get away from him.

With a record of 13 wins, 3 ties, and 1 loss, they became division champs and were top- seeded in the Western Mass Tournament. Contributing their best to the offense were capatin Lisa Hogan, who was the team’s leading scorer, and juniors Kristin Donahue and Elisa Niejadlik. Elisa was a surprising new addition to the 1986 team. With her speed and ability, she became a valuable offensive player. The halfbacks, including Jennifer McCar- thy, Kara Haseltine, Jennifer Creanza and Karen Forsyth, all proved their ability to control the mid-field well. Junior sweeper, Tina D’Agostino led the defense which con- sisted of captain Dianna McGibney, seniors Julie Gates and Carolyn Camerota, and sophomore Pam Palermo. The team’s major upset of the reqular season, which consisted of 17 games, was their only loss to Cathedral, 2-1. But the team was quickly revived by their two vic- tories over Ludlow, the 1985 Western Mass. Champs, which were crucial in quar- anteeing them the top spot in the tournament. Once in the tournament, Central again faced Cathedral in a semi-final game. The game was delayed for four days because of snow and cold weather, but it gave Central plenty of time to psyche themselves up.

When the girls arrived at Central, none of their equipment was here. Little by little, each piece of ap- paratus eased its way into the gym in excel- lent condition. Most of girls had been competing togeth- er for a few years which helped them in capturing so many victories. The loss of their top three gymnasts might weaken their scores a little next year, but the re- turning sophomores and juniors promise to continue the winning tradition that this year’s team initiated. Gina A. Cuccovia GYMNASTICS 117 Fashion: the unique style and im- age projected in one’s manner of dress and hairstyle with the intention to either impress the world or pro- voke reaction. During the last few seasons, a bi- zarre and surprising application of fashion had appeared on the sports scene. Unexpected care and thought were spent on acheiving a look most desirable and comfortable for the in- dividual athelete who was about to take part in a vigorous practice session. In the locker room, it seemed as though the girls were preparing for a fashion show. Thick mascara was ap- plied with extreme care, along with exceptionally smooth lipstick. Per- fectly coiffed hair was put up in a con- ventional ponytail or secured in a “banana clip,’’ leaving not a single strand to be destroyed by the wind. Filing out of the locker rooms and onto the playing fields to stretch out, both male and female athletes wore their new Central High sweatsuits in order to keep warm in chilly weather. As the tempertatures rose, the sweat- suits quickly shed themselves, reveal- ing shorts and oversized t-shirts. The coaches were surprised to see so many of the girls wearing large men’s boxer shorts in a variety of colors and prints, ranging from pretty plaids to bold paisley. All that ran through the coaches’ minds was that their fathers had such wonderful taste in underwear. Meanwhile, on the other side of the PLAYING WITH STYLE 118 FEATURE Above: You can count on these quys for a highly spirit- ed sports team: 33— Charles Dickey, 21—Kevin Kennedy, and 7-Mike Rich- ards.

Their socks were intentionally scrunched down to their ankles and stuffed into trendy Reebok sneakers. Some ex- perimental types dared to wear two pairs of shorts layered over each oth- er in order to add a creative dash of style. The most dedicated sports figures showed their love of the game by hav- ing their number shaved into their head. Why did athletes give such special consideration to their appearance? Well, looking and feeling their best, they had the confidence in them- selves to perform their best when on the field, and this made their respec- tive teams quite successful. Karen Fopp “WHAT GAME ...7 It was the weekend - what every- body had been waiting for. All week long, the only thing students could think about was Saturday’s big foot- ball game. The team had practiced long and hard, and they were now pre- pared to crush their opponents in a strong, competitive game. There was no chance of defeat, and the team could feel the energy of the huge crowd that came to support them by cheering ecstatically and attentively scrutinizing the play. But in the first row sat a guy who was deciding how he should ap- proach the girl with the mini-skirt and nice legs sitting on the other end of the bleachers. She, meanwhile, was wondering which player was having the victory party after the game. Oth- ers were whispering about the teach- ers who attended the game in casual clothes, almost like normal people would have. Jokes were made at the expense of the players who were keeping the bench warm. It was noted that a touchdown had been scored. Conversations resumed quickly after the obligatory applause died down, but this time it had re- newed strength and a new slant. Who was it that cheered the loudest for the scoring player? And why? As the game continued, gossip leapt from bench to bench, eventually reaching the person who was the ob- ject of these rumors. At that point, heated responses and denial tracked their way back to the sources. Suddenly, the players were jumping on each other, the coaches hugged, and the parents cried out in relief and joy: the big game was over and Cen- tral had won! In the midst of the dispersing crowd, certain matters of importance were being taken care of. Phone num- bers had to be given out so the near- est candy wrapper was siezed and put to use. Mimicked good-byes were tossed around. He with the automo- bile ended up with a full load to drag to the big bash. To those who might have watched a whole minute of the game, it still mattered what the final score was, and the question ‘Did we really win?’’ crossed many minds. Well, the big game was over, but the best was still to come. Although their absence went virtually unnoticed, the coaches dashed home to figure out how long, hard, and strenuous prac- tice should be for their winning team on Monday, and parents and faculty nonchalantly filed home. The spirited Students, however, danced and pranced their way towards an evening full of wild and well-deserved celebra- tion as the sun set on another glori- Ous school sports event.

With a combination of both Classical and Tech- nical High players, they proved that they could work well together and have a vic- torious season. They did just that by be- coming the champions of high school bas- ketball in Massachusetts. Coach Burns worked his team hard, and looks of determination glowed in the eyes of the players both at practice and at games. Returning starters Shawn Rogers, Michael Martin, Leonard Bass, Maurice Blake, Devron Vassar, and Jonathon Bell entered the season with a winning attitude and ended it in the same manner. The first basketball game ever played at Central was a significant one for the team when they defeated West Spingfield ‘‘with an impressive 83-51 win,” as stated by Coach Burns. The new team earned respect through their excellent skills, dedication, and team spirit.

OFF TO A GREAT START he first ever Central swim team es- tablished itself as a formidable oppo- nent to any team. All the swimmers on the team practiced hard and it showed during the meets. With each meet, the swimming times improved. Having a pool in the school was very con- venient for the swimmers. Last year, the Classical swim team had to take a long bus ride each day to Kiley Junior High school in order to practice. Because there was no pool at Classical, valuable practice time was wasted. But now, swimmers were able to be in the pool right after school let out. Practice was five times a week, including Saturdays. Each day the swim team prac- ticed about two hours in order to build en- durance and speed. Also available for the swimmers was weight training. In Central, a modern equipped weight room was built, so swimmers had the option to go in the morning before school to lift weights. “My times have improved because of weight lift- ing,’ said Ed Vanzandt. The team captains were Dave Pike, Steve Trueman, Josh Troderman, and David Kim. They provided leadership with their and hard work. All four qualified for West- ern Mass Competition: Steve Trueman (freestyle), David Kim (butterfly and back- stroke), Josh Troderman (freestyle), and Dave Pike (diving). Other standout performers returning from last year were Ed Vanzandt (breast- stroke), Josh Rice (freestyle), Tony Daniele (butterfly), and Chad Joyal (freestyle). Some of the newcomers were Dan McLaughlin and Steve Walder in diving, Jeff Yerkes in the backstroke, and David Burke in the freestyle. The swim team finished the year with a respectable 9-4 record to take first place in their division.

One of the three swim team captains, Jennifer McCarthy, expressed that “the friendly competitions during practice helped to push us to improve our times, but when it came to the meets, we used that competi- tive edge to psyche out the opposing team.’’ When it was all boiled down, that inner sense of accomplishment was what really counted. The competitive instincts of the girls swim team were pushed to the limit in a memorably tense and exciting meet against Agawam. The team was on the edge the entire meet until they finally pushed ahead in the last relay, giving them an 84-82 victory. This close match was one of the victories that proved to the team that they had the potential to be the best.

The team consisted of many young and inexperienced players which ex- plained many of its struggles. Each individ- ual felt obligated to do their best and not let each other down. Some returning starters were seniors captain Mike Wells, Jack Russell, and Nik Blanchard; juniors captain Mike Richards and Jeff Hogan; and sophomores Marty Curley and Bob Hogan. Some newcomers that proved to be beneficial were junior Pat Kelleher, and sophomores Kevin Dakin, Jamie Podwo rski and Ryan Wells. Coach Jim Carliln inspired the boys to continue working to the best of their ability. The boys demonstrated their skills in their second meeting with Westfield High. In their first game against this team, Cen- tral lost to Westfield 14-1. They had an ex- cellent comeback with a 3-35 tie against one of the best teams in the league. Mike Rich- ards and Nik Blanchard proved to be a strong defense with Jamie Podworski on forward. Goalie Mike Wells was faced with an average of fifty shots. Since a lack of attendance and the quit- ting of some teammates disrupted the team, the remainder fought to do their best. They struggled to prove their talents on the ice. Next season’s outlook appears to be much more favorable. Each competi- tor will be more experienced plus they will have knowledge of each other’s weakness- es and strengths. Gina A.

But still, despite all their setbacks, the team compiled a re- cord of 4 wins and 5 losses. In all of the games, none of the Central players ever gave up when things were going bad. Team captains Elliott Jourdan, Troy Mor- row and Brian Murphy provided great lead- ership along with their exceptional play and dedication. With the combining of the two high schools, Tech and Classical, there was a question as to whether or not the players from each school could form together to make one team. But there was no problem because instead of having Tech and Classi- cal players, there were only Central foot- ball players. Coach McLaughlin said that there were more injuries this season than in all of his previous years of coaching football com- bined. These injuries added to the fact that 16 football players were declared ineligible to play because of academic troubles, weakened the team. But this did not stop people from having exceptional years. Some of the senior members who stood out were: quarterback, Brian Murphy; tail- back, James Guy; fullback, Troy Morrow; split end, Elliot Jourdan; center, Chris Dowd; and quard, Bob Anderson. Some of the newcomers who were able to contribute were: Marcus St. Julien, Ron Hardy, David Gordon, Roland Hicks, and Ed Shultz.

The promising newconmers pointed out by their captains were Robert Thorton, Tom Drumm, Sean McLaughlin, and Lester Jawas.

The team went as far as they possibly could by winning the Massachusetts state champi- onship for high school basketball. The team had a remarkable record of twenty-one win s and one loss. In the post-season, they played exceptionally well. The team first took court against Agawam and defeated them by a score of 81-52. Next came the Westem Mass. semifinals where Central faced Chicopee Comp. After eliminating them by a score of 65-43, Central moved on to their next victim—Taconic with a score of 70- 59. Worcester Polytechnical Institution was the scene for the state semifinals. Central took on Wachusett and defeated them by a score of 55-53. Things were looking great as the team prepared for the media-hyped Cambridge Rindge and Latin—the next team on Central’s ht list. Although Cambridge Rindge and Latin was great- ly favored, Central went into the Worcester Centrum on March 14, 1987, with a great deal of pride and determination. After the regulation time ceased, the teams were tied. After going through a triple overtime, Central was victorious with a score of 70-66, thus winning the state championship.

From re- gional competition to computer dating services, or from student political rally- ing to football and basketball half-time shows, the students proved that there was more to learning than just text books. To one who participated, the most commonly heard words were re- sponsibility, dedication, and sacrifice (they tended to be interchangeable).

This was evident in the words of Yvonne Kasparian’s words when she expressed that “We learned a lot about controling our voices, giv- ing us the courage to try out for more slective and com- petitive choral groups.” The large amount of skill that they gained was attrib- uted by Kethly Davis to the fact that ‘most of the mem- bers took the class serious- ly and put a lot of personal effort into thier work.’’ This cooperation allowed them to work on additional skills, such as reading music, that served as a Solid founda- tion upon which to build Wusteal Wlaot Opening the door to room 140, a beautiful and angelic sound floated through the air, spreading it's sweet harmony to the ears and heart of it’s listen- er.

Each day during sixth pe- riod, the Madrigal Group primed their voices and performed four part singing and 15th and 16th Century Classical tunes under the guide of their insructor, Mr. Todd. When asked about her feelings concerning the group, Belisa Anzalotti said, ‘‘Madrigal has a very good attitude and the hard work of each member helps produce. an excellent sound.” Madrigal was just that.

Concert Chorale provid- ed the opporitunity for a large group of students to experience the satisfaction that being a part of a united voice invited.

Hopefully, with the application of “the neccessary self-drive to work hard and _ practice” that was described by Ann Marie Frisbee, the mem- bers of the Concert Chorale will continue to improve their voices until they are singing amongst the best. -Elayne Forastiere the unique blend that made them popular in the Spring- field area.

Backstage, smiles were brightening the faces of the fifteen mem- bers of the Central Jazz Rock Singers as they knew they had just completed an- other exceptional performance. “The Jazz Rock Singers are a select vocal group that sings a wide variety of vocal jazz from the 1930's and 40’s up to the music of today.’’ These were the words of music teacher and director of the Jazz Rock Singers, Mr. Mark Todd. Mr. Todd has led this outstand- ing group for five years, and in those years, Jazz Rock has been successful in win- ning state competitions, and has entered the West- ern Massachusets, New En- gland, and national compe- titions. In past years,the Jazz Rock Singers have per- formed locally as well as the Hatch Shell and the State House, in Boston; in Orlando, Florida; and at Springfield Symphony Hall. There were twelve singers and three musicians that 140 ACTIVITIES helped make everything work behind the scenes. These performers chose to audition for a part in this ex- clusive company for many reasons. The challenge and excitement of belonging to such an elite group and per- forming in front of large au- diences were the most pop- ular responses. Others preferred being a part of Jazz Rock for the musical benefits. “I joined Jazz Rock for ther vocal benefits | receive. Jazz Rock helps to improve my _ Sight-reading and my coordination,’’ commented two-year mem- ber Sabrina Foresi. Drum- mer Rick Peck said he joined Jazz Rock “‘to build my knowledge of reading and playing jazz music which will give me a better opportunity to land more musical combo jobs in the future.”’ Fortunately, all of the hardwork and practice that went into this year’s Jazz Rock group yeilded many rewarding performances unto its members.

The Benefits of Technology With a budget of © $140,000, the Central music department was able to ex- Ppand its capabilities a thou- sand fold. In addition to three stereo systems, there was an enormous amount of electronic music equip- ment, including two synthe- sizers, two electronic key- boards, and a series of rack-mount special effects. There were also six pianos between the Band and Cho- ral rooms, and a $26,000 grand piano in_ the auditorium. Needless to say, the stu- dents using the equipment couldn't have asked for much more. At right, Shan- non McEwan strikes a dra- matic chord on one of the synthesizers. Jazz Sensation The Stage Band, under the direction of Mr. Christie, enthralled their audiences with the beautiful music they played. Their perfor- mances varied from Big Band to Jazz and were tak- en from the years 1940 through 1980. During the year, the band gave concerts at various events such as the Jazz Fes- tival, Senior Citizens Open House, the Christmas Con- cert, and at the graduation ceremony. The first con- cert, which was held at the Elks Lodge in November, held great significance for all the members because it was the first time the group played in public. Although all the new members ad- justed quickly, it still took a lot of hard work during practices to make every- thing perfect. But because of the determination and spirit that everyone felt, the performed their first con- cert with all the vigor and excellence that could ever be displayed by a band. One key element to the success of stage band was the fact that the players were all good friends who respected each other and their instumental abilities. One was always willing to take criticism, as well as ad- vice, from fellow musicians because it was clear that these comments were not inteded to be sarcastic, but were said to help the indi- vidual become a better player. By practicing every day, each member became more experienced and knowledgeable in their par- ticular instrument. “Il hope next year we can have close to the same kind of talent that we had this year,” ex- pressed Nick Asimakopou- los, a Saxaphone player. Judging from their past per- formances, Stage Band will continue to be successful for years to come.

Many of these activities took precious time out of the students’ weekends. Other students often won- dered why these people sacrificed part of their tradi- tionally sacred times of the week. Their answer was simple: they enjoyed play- ing their instruments, and students having put their talents to use, they benefit- ed their school. The latest addition to these musically inclined peoples’ performance was the football halftime show.

It was here that Mr. Christie and the orchestra diligently rehearsed for their outgo- ing performances. It took hours of practice, but the students were determined to make the orchestra the best ever. One of those memorable shows was the Christmas Concert. Since it was the first concert given in the school’s theater, it was very special. At the end of the show, the players were very pleased with the over- whelming applause they re- ceived. “We worked hard, but knew it would be all worth it in the end,” said violinist Sue Cayer. Another highlight was the Spring Concert which fea- tured works such as those by Mozart and Bach. The students put their all into a show that was truly unfor- gettable. They felt proud of themselves and their school, and thus decided to go and play in as many places as they could. To ac- complish this, the musi- cians had many fundraising events which turned out to be quite successful. The orchestra made their final striking performance at the graduation ceremo- nies.

Secre- tary was junior Elaine For- astiere, who made sure all notes of any importance were taken. Stu dent Gov- emment was active under the supervision of Ms. Costa. Being in Student Gov- emment gave each stu- dent a sense of responsi- bility to his or her individual class and to Central as a whole. They learned that organization was an important factor in getting things done. 7 Fore They all had fun growing together and learning many new political tasks. Student Government held monthly meetings to dis- cuss pertinent issues. There was a total of twen- ty-four students involved. Some of the various func- tions Student Government directed included a Blood Drive, The Great American Smoke-Out, and the annu- al St. Patrick's Day Carna- tion Sale which raised money for a needy child in the Springfield area. Ms. Costa felt there was a great ‘spirit of coopera- tion’’ that continuously filled the atmosphere. Some students put their entire heart into what they did, others ‘just did it;” however, everyone was a hard worker. Student Gov- emment leaders had the power and the dedication to come up with great ideas and see these plans through to successful completion, leading Cen- tral through a strong and beneficial first year.

One way in which stu- dents could have offered a valuable service to their school was to become members of the Central Student Patrol. This meant giving up a study period ev- ery day to work in the office. Signing in late students, collecting recitation slips, and passing out the bulle- tins were some of the many things the student patrol was responsible for daily. Members of the group were assigned to either Mrs. Danton or Mr. Annino’s homeroom. To help fufill their duties as best they could, the students often ) —= | or talked in homeroom with one another about the things that had to be done. Their true cooperation and organization were some reasons the office ran so efficiently. Due to the dedication and contribution of the Student Patrol, many of the neces- sary jobs in the school didn’t become hassles for everyone. Their hard work was certainly appreciated, and it is known that the ex- cellency of the group is a tradition that will flourish at the school for years to come.

Worth Noting If you had happened to walk by room 238 during sixth period, you would have seen papers flying ev- erywhere, piles of photo- graphs, layout and copy sheets scattered through- out the room, and 25 stu- dents jumping around busi- ly putting a year’s worth of memories into one book. Led by advisor Mr. Dinnie, there were 12 seniors and 13 juniors who contributed to the first Central High yearbook. To be on the Sig- nature staff, these students had to apply in the latter part of their sophomore year, explaining why they wanted to be in this home- room, and what talents they had that would benefit a yearbook. Also, teacher recommendations and a sound academic ability were required but were not 146 ACTIVITIES the only factors considered for enterance into the year- book homeroom. Mr. Din- nie looked for a variety of people ranging from those with immense creative ideas to those with great leadership qualities. The yearbook members thought that being in a new school with up-dated equip- ment would assist in easing their difficult job of organiz- ing a yearbook. “We came into Central thinking we were organized, but the year proved to be a difficult one due to over-confi- dence,’’ agreed Glenn Cratty, Megan McDonald, and Chris Parker. They had to deal with the loss of many negatives in-transit, and had to cope with a lack of typewriters and comput- ers for the first few weeks of school. In addition, they en- MESS ere Baer eee cr NR ren ee countered difficulties com- ing up with a new name and devising a new look for Cen- tral’s yearbook, and the many newly formed school organizations tripled their work. “‘As the months rolled by, our work did be- come less hectic and pres- surized as the staff became more cooperative and enth- uastic,’’ commented editor- in-chief, Lisa Wilson. Room 238 was not just a place where the yearbook was planned, it was a place where great friendships were formed. Its members, especially the newcomers, started off timid and wor- ried about impressing their senior editors, but they soon became one big fam- ily. Yearbook was an experi- ence unlike all others.

The fam- ily, the unity-it all equaled the Central News Recorder Staff. Never before had there been such a strong feeling for perfection and success in school than among the students of room 231. As “the great instructor’ Mr. Brady asserted, “All of the kids chosen to be in the newspaper have contribut- ed to it in their own distinct way. Our Staff is alive, alert, and not humdrum.” “We love you too,’’ declared Sue Nodurf, in reference to their fearless advisor. When asked about the basis of each article chosen to ap- pear in the paper, Lori Nel- son laughed, ‘Each story must be based on Truth, Justice, and the American Way!”’ Basically that’s all there was to it-facts trans- formed into interesting, in- formative, and entertaining journalism. Besides the significance of each writer, the success of the newspaper was due to other things as well. As Brian Murphy pointed out, Power Of The Press the Central Newspaper im- proved much due to the supply of new equipment like typewriters, computers, and printers. These imple- ments enabled the paper to be completely developed within the school. The Central News Record- er Staff gathered each day during sixth period, and each member was assigned a story by his or her editors. With the help of the other editors, Editor-in-Chief Me- lissa Long polished the in- coming sophomores into an aura of successful writ- ers. AS Maria Torre put it, “Even though we had to do a lot of hard work, it was to our advantage in both im- proving our writing skills and gaining recognition for our work.’ The work did prove to be strenuous at times, but the determined students “‘would never quit,’’ as Jessica Townsend put it. So, with utterance of that determined quote, the ep- och of the very first Central Recorder concluded. The typewriting machines died out; the ink bottle was tight- ly sealed; the pens were layed down to rest; and the curtain came down as the first of many scenes ended in the development of our newspaper. Nikki Arestedes ACTIVITIES 147 Due to former Mayor Di- mauro’s insistence that the cable company of this city provide equipment and in- struction for the use of vid- eo implements in Central High, Continental Cablevi- sion responded with state- of-the-art instruments and training facilities in Studio ‘86. However, prior to the opening of these facilities within the school, a group of students took advantage of public programs spon- sored by local cable offered either through the school or through the community, resulting in the Advanced Video Production staff. The students who com- prised this class were, for the most part, eager to de- velop specialized skills in areas Such as editing, script writing, and location and studio production. In order to fulfill their desire to learn more about the subtle cre- ative and technical aspects of video production, Miss Regina initiated such spe- cial programs and major projects as a Video Year- book and a school news program to which other vid- eo students could contrib- ute as their skills and inter- est increased to the point of the Advanced Video Pro- duction members. Other advisors included Mr. Paschetto, Mr. Finkles- tein, and Mrs. Damon, a representative of Continen- tal Cablevision and all were always ready to offer assis- tance to any video student, whether it was in taping an assembly, or conducting an interview with a school Official.

Perfect Lines It was time to hear the re- sults of the Drama audi- tions and all the partici- pants were eagerly awaiting to find out if they had been chosen. Ms. Keenan, direc- tor of the drama club, had tough decisions to make concerning who was to be accepted and who wasn't. Those who did make it found that there was a lot of hard work involved in per- forming plays. One of the biggest problems was that the costumes used for the plays had to be either bought, rented, or hand made by the Drama students. In order to finance their performances, the mem- bers tried something new this year. They came up with the idea of having a “Birthday Message Center’ where One could send a birthday message via a Dra- ma skit. In addition to the live message service, stu- dents also sold refresh- ments at shows and deliv- ered newspapers’ to teachers. Everyone in the Drama club shared a love of acting, and when they played their characters, they learned a lot about others. ‘Being in this class taught me a lot about human nature,” said Chris Shelley. The Drama club was a very rewarding experience for all its members not only because they learned a lot about theatre, but because they had a great time doing it! -Youla Stamatopoulos ACTIVITIES 149 Kim Gamache, Danielle Williams, and Shiela Lynch reveal their secret identities which provokes some kind of reaction from everyone who passes them.

Sure, thinking back to the masses of students walking in the hallways each day, one could easily call to mind the names of those who were a bit unusual. This was especially true on the most obscure of all holidays, Halloween. There was a large variety of costumes that one could observe and chuckle at, if not gawk. Some people simply rolled out of bed and came to school en- shrouded in their comfortable pajamas, while one individual wore a trench coat and adopted the morals of a flasher. The junior class contributed Junior Hat Day, when each stu- dent competed in an effort to win the “Best Hat Award’’. Hats were funny, unique, and creative. Just a couple of outstanding hats were an antler hat and a robot head with antennas protruding from the top. The sophomore class paid tribute to the fifties on Greaser 150 FEATURE Day. Poodle skirts, slicked-back hair, and rolled-up jeans twisted down the hallways. Central looked like the high school of the past. Hats and poodles weren't enough for the Art 35 class, so they attempted to create life- sized mannequins. Within the bounds of unlimited imagina- tion, the process was much fun, and the results worthwhile and quite interesting. The complete control of building a human fig- ure had its advantages... Another amusing sight was the Drama Students performing spe- cial birthday messages. From southern young’‘uns, to their own version of Pat Sajack and The Wheel of Fortune, the actors and actresses would stage small comical skits that caused every- one within earshot to laugh, with the exception of the embar- rassed victim, of course.

FEATURE 151 Being a cheerleader is not just one big ‘rah-rah”’. Although it may look like fun, a lot of hard work, dedi- cation, and practice go into the final outcome of the cheers. This year the cheerlead- ers were seen practicing in the hallways after school and, more traditionally, at Central's football and bas- ketball games. The cheer- leaders played an impor- tant part in the attitude of the game. Said Kristen Paulk, “The energy we com- municate reaches the fans, which in turn inspires the team to do well.’’ There are also many cheers the crowd knew and missed when the cheerleaders are unable to attend a game. 152 ACTIVITIES Out In Front There were fourteen cheerleaders in Central’s first cheerleading squad. These members included captain Shannon (al- lagher, co-captain Monifa Marshall, Diana Fish, Kathy Maroney, Kim Monette, Marixa Gonzalez, Chris Bis- sonette, Laurie Pasterczyk, Kimya Warfield, Kristin Hurst, Shannon Arrington, Kristin Paulk, Yvette Green and Lori Bounaconti.

RAISED FROM THE DEAD Everyone gets off on something, be it music, sports, or stuffed animals. Well, Central had a group of girls who got off on spunk- ing up crowds. Crazy? They didn’t think so. They were proud to be a part of the Drill Team. Performing in parades and during football and basketball game half-times, they attempted to liven up the spectators. As Char- lotte Davis, Captain of the Drill Team, expressed, “There’s nothing worse than a dead crowd.” The intense biweekly practice required by the Drill Team to perfect their routine was well worth the time and effort. Their spiffy uniforms and snappy per- formance commanded the attention that they de- served. But bringing out the life from crowds wasn’t al- wayS as easy as it sounds. “Sometimes it was a Chal- lenge,’’ said Janine Nich- ols, a member of the Drill Team, ‘but once we pushed them into rowdi- ness, there was no stopping them.” As Ms. Ruby Kelly, the Drill Team Coach, pointed out, ‘“‘Between the drill team, pep squad, and cheerleaders, the audience didn’t dare just sit there and look dead. We showed our competitors our superi- ority, not only through our great teams, but also through our soaring Spirits.” Elayne Forastiere TWIRLING TO THE BEAT They led the band down the streets as their batons twirled in the air. Their feet moved to the drum beat while their arms swayed Strictly by their sides. These were feats achieved by Cen- tral’s majorettes and fea- tured twirlers. The majorettes-Miriam Dupre, Kelly Langone, and Maureen Shea-worked hard together and performed group routines, while the feaured twirlers-Kirsten Hurst and Lisa Buoniconti- each performed solos to their own routines. The girls appeared with the band during half-time at the home football games and at parades. Some of the many parades they ap- peared in were the Colom- bus Day Parade, the Bal- loon Parade in downtown Springfield, and the Veter- an’s Day Parade. The girls also went to Boston and Ho- loyoke to march in both cit- ies’ St. Patrick’s Day Parades. The girls hoped someday to appear in regional com- petition with the band. Meanwhile, they enjoyed demonstrating their talents to entertain at various so- cial activities. Gina A.

It was a part of the Career Exploration pro- gram developed to give stu- dents a taste of various pro- fessions. Students were divided according to lev- el—first level (or begin- ners) and second level (or advanced). Second level students learned to plan a menu, multiply recipes, make a shopping list, and prepare and serve food. All the students were taught service, food preparation, cashiering, and bussing ta- bles. The culmination of all 154 ACTIVITIES A TASTE OF HOPITALITY of this work was the break- fast the students prepared for faculty customers. This program originated at Technical High School, but it was hoped that Col- lege Preparatory students at Central would join the class. It provided useful ex- perience in the fields of hospitality and food ser- vices as well as preparing students for home life. Many students who chose to take the class were not necessarily planning a fu- ture in these fields, but sim- ply wanted to improve their cooking. Becky Childs Working for a Living Student employment was a very important facet in our school lives. Cafeteria workers were the main stu- opt to work in the cafeteria attendants, or be in aca of milk supply. These peo- ple, whose services were greatly appreciated, also re- dent employees of the ceived $5.10 a day and free school.

The store was open dur- Ann Janakis and Tina Bronson; juniors Char- lotte Davis and Gloria Woods; and sophmore Trina Montgomery. The workers reported sales to and ordered _ items through Mr. Wilke. The profits earned were reinvested into the store, but in the future the store will hopefully have a per- manent location and will be able to build up funds toward a scholarship. Karen Fopp Among the many other wonderful new facilities the students at Springfield Cen- tral High School had at their disposal was the li- brary. Everyone knew what the library was used for, ranging from fictional read- ing for entertainment to term paper research. This media center, however, would not funciton properly without the aid of students who gave up their study pe- riods to work for the benefit of other library users. ‘‘Many people thought working in the library was very easy and very boring but | contradict those state- ments,’’ said Hope Gamble, president of the library club. The aids had many jobs to do including check- ing books in and out, writ- ing overdue notices, typing and repairing books to say the least. Overall, the library aides were extremely valuable to the library; however, it worked the other way around also. the practice and recommendation may be put on job and college applications. Also, several parties were held where they met new people, and got a chance to view the fruits of their involved labor. Dawn Bedard ACTIVITIES 155 Below; Mike Smart looks over his sales for the day.

Behind The Scenes When looking through the Yearbook, it may be as- sumed that all success is due to the editorial Year- book staff itself. In actual- ity, the Yearbook could not have been without the hard work and dedication of the Signature Business staff. These members worked hard to sell and reduce the cost of the Yearbook. The Yearbook Business was made up of twenty- three determined students who were willing to give up their free time to benefit themselves and their class- mates. In order to cut the cost of the Yearbook, the necessary advertisements were collected by the staff members from local busi- nesses, either during their study periods or on their own time. 156 ACTIVITIES They were also responsi- ble for selling the Year- books. During homeroom periods, representatives took orders from students and collected deposits. They patiently persisted to work on the day in which deposits were due, and Stu- dents eventually paid up. When the finished products arrived, it was the responsi- bility of the Signature Busi- ness staff to distribute them. All money made from sales and contributions did not go to anything but the production of the Yearbook at a total cost of $20,000. The first Signature Business homeroom greatly contrib- uted to the creation of a very memorable first yearbook. Dena Haselkorn Judith Morgan is thrilled with the orders that she took tha t day.

Below: Stephanie Harris selling popcorn for Afro-Am. SHOWING SUPPORT The Central High School Afro-Am Society was a Ser- vice organization geared to- wards the heightening of cultural identity. ‘All the members strove to serve humanity with their various talents and activities,’’ said Miss Scott, advisor to the group. The officers for the society were Rhonda Otey- President; David McCloud- Vice-President; Judith Mor- gan-Secretary; Shelly Harris-Treasurer; and Kim Peeples-Parlimentarian. The Afro-Am Society had a very successful and busy 1986-87 school year. They were involved in many worthwhile and charitable events in which they did their best to help others less fortunate than our- selves. Just a few of their activities were Apartheid Awareness Week, a canned food drive for the Open Pan- try, a ‘Jump For Your Heart’’ program sponsored by the American heart As- sociation, and a $100 dona- tion to the Marathon House, a drug rehabilita- tion center. All the members of the group were extremely excit- ed and very happy about it's role in aiding needy people. Miss Scott added that the society promoted friendships, high scholastic achievements, and ethical standards among the Cen- tral community. The members had even composed a motto saying “Let your light shine so that everyone can see your good work being done.” The African American Soci- ety certainly let their light shine, bringing a bit more happiness to the lives of many unfortunate people. Youla Stamatopoulos ACTIVITIES 157 Outstanding Intellect The Classical Computer Club had only a few com- puters to use, but with Cen- tral High School being stocked with the latest equipment, the club had a room full of computers at its convenience. Although the team held no type of practices, all four members had taken at least basic computer programming be- fore joining the club. During the year, the Com- puter Club had two tourna- ments it competed in. Last year, the Classical Comput- er Club placed third in the “The Pythagorean Theo- rem,”’ drills Mr. Follett. ‘A?+ B?=C?,’” shouts Jesse Schell, one of the members of the Mathletes. Byoung Park described Mathletes as “a club where students who enjoy mathematics were able to increase their knowledge on the subject, and at the same time make many friends.” The members did not hold formal practices; in- stead, they received most of their practice in their dai- ly math classes. Competing 158 ACTIVITIES a WHIZ KIDS Western Mass. tournament, and fifth in the Northeast tournament. During a com- petition, all the teams were given problems on paper to do on the computer. Only two members of the team were allowed in the com- puter room to try to solve the problems. The other two tried to solve the prob- lems on paper in a different room. They placed well in the respective competitions and continued the tradition of technological excellence within the school.

After many practice quizzes, Mr. Kokonowski, the coach, narrowed down the number of participants to a slim eight. Unfortunately, this was not the last time stu- dents were eliminated dur- ing the selection of the Fea imempers,seonce again, three more partici- pants were cut out of the roster. Finally the five stu- dents who had the best memory and the quickest answers were selected after this tedious process. The 1986-87 team for the high school quizz program con- sisted of four requlars- Ja- son Demerski, Debbie Weisman, Megan McDon- ald, Ben Weaver and one al- ternate, Daniel Collins. Daniel Collins. For many weeks, the stu- dents practiced during homeroom period every Thursday. The players asked each other questions from the subjects of sports, science, and general knowl- edge. These mind-boggling quizzes came from such sources as trivia books, and the game show Jeopardy. The hardest part of prac- ticing for the competition was that there was nothing specific to study. The team members tried hard to do their best by memorizing, memorizing, memorizing. Hopefully, there will be this much enthusiasm for join- ing this outstanding team in the years to come.

The staff sifted through the poems, draw- ings, and short stories submitted by their peers in an effort to compile the best material for the magazine. Because of the quality of the work, this was not an easy task. However, with a lot of team work and determina- tion, Arie became an excellent showcase for all of the literary talent Central students possess. The staff is shown above.

AN MAG EIVE SCENE Being witness to several pages of student involve- ment, one can realize the importance of activities in our school. Each is a way of “fine-tuning” skills and de- veloping oneself as both an individual and contributing member of a larger group. Trying to “‘wittle down” an excess of 50 activities to just under a dozen, took long periods of information gathering. Several of those initial groups never came to be, either because of a lack of interest, or sometimes rr a ee ge Steve Magni takes his chances while operating the sound board in the video studio. lack of a willing advisor. That, many times, is a sad factor; for an individual nev- er knows what they have missed. During the year, the com- peting activities were sub- jected to victories and de- feats, but always maintained a sense of pride in Central and the dignity becoming of every student. And what could be more important to a person than to Know he or she had pro- vided a source of help and enjoyment to others. Glenn Cratty ACTIVITIES 161 Can you believe that we have finally finished our thirteen years of school? A lot has happened in those thirteen years, and for most of us, our brief stay in high school was the best time of our relatively short lives. Our high school years meant a time for growing up. Most of us got our li- censes this year. Remember pleading with Mom to let you borrow the family car because you had a “hot date’’? Re- member staying home the night before SAT’s to do some last minute studying? How about the nights of our proms and banquet? How we fussed over our hair and made sure that we looked perfect. But that was a hazard of adolesence, and high school was meant for “‘suffer- ing’’. Although we were crazy at times, high school slapped us in the face with reality when it came time to apply to colleges. Mass confusion! How about the long-awaited night of June 1, 1987? That was a night we’d never forget, aS we marched into the Civic Center for the last time as a Class. Most important though, our years in school permitted us to make some out- standing friendships. Some found that one special person, while others went through hopeless crushes. The friend- ships that were formed were cherished. Remember coming in on a rainy Monday morning depressed, and having a friend’s encouraging words brighten your day? We formed these relation- ships with the intention that these high school buddies would become life-long friends. So much has happened in the last four years of our lives. This was the pur- pose for this book. It will help you to remember all those great times you had as the first and the best graduating class of Central—this new and improved facil- ity. In ten or twenty years when you are going through this dusty, old book, you'll remember all of those friendships, heartaches, college applications, and other activities that made our high school years so memorable.

The staff of the Signature was asked how the name “‘Signature’’ became the name of Central’s new yearbook. After many tiresome suggestions were proposed to the staff, the name “‘Sig- nature’ was blurted out, and every- one seemed to like it. It was classy and had a great connotation. A yearbook is a personal thing be- cause when each person looks at it they get their own meaning and mem- ories from it. They get their own recol- lections and thoughts. A signature also is a reflection of that person, since no two people write exactly the same way. A Signature is creative, just like a yearbook. Also, yearbooks have a habit of be- coming glorified autograph books. We are Sure that this book will proba- bly be filled with your friends’ signa- tures; thus the name Signature.
