The class of ‘89 was the first to get a chance to be educated in Central’s three grade levels, thereby establishing a precedent for all classes yet to graduate. Being the First Class to com- plete three years at Central en- abled our seniors to fully take advantage of all the resources our school has to offer, and gave them a feeling of pride and ac- complishment, which we wish to display throughout this First Class production. Ten years from now, this book will be present at our class re- union. Upon flipping nostalgical- ly through its pages, someone will undoubtedly proclaim, “What a rebellious class we were!”’ That Central alumnus will be absolutely correct; for our class disputed every administra- tive directive from timing of class events to the school dress code. Each and every one of us can probably relate to the words of the immortal Mark Twain- “Whenever you find that you are on the side of the majority, it’s time to reform.” Throughout the year, the year- book staff has worked hard to portray the vast amount of indi- viduals who comprise our school. We hope you are pleased with the final product and we also hope that it will be viewed as a First Class portion of your high school memories. En- joy the book! Lynn Wilson : Editor-in-Chief Smiling in anticipation, upperclassman Tara Walters prepares to munch on a nutri- cious school lunch. Very much at home listening to music, Bri- an Banks plans on sharing the “Top 10” chart with his favorite stars in the near future. Anticipating a fun evening, senior Michelle Meunier settles down with her friends to enjoy The Breakdown in concert at Forest Park. After they pose for their class picture, Andrea Williams, Portland Wilson, and Dawn Andrews keep the smiles on their faces as they enjoy the senior life. Before digging in, Charles Seder carefully exam- ines his lunch and tries to identify it. Justin Gates has second thoughts about petting this cow as he notices that he is getting the wrong end of the deal. ; Opening 35 Marc Abbe Nicole Abernathy Karlena Abdullah “¢ Stuart Allsop Keisha Alston 101 Margerie St. 26 Hanson Dr. 1442 Roosevelt Ave. 192 Garland St. 104 Spring St. David Alves Tracey Alves Cynthia Amador Christopher Anderson Kimberly Anderson 18 Daytona St. 49 Claremont Dr. 60 Clantoy St. 68 Kimberly Ave. 75 Bales St. Dawn Andrews : Zabeida Aponte Seta Arakelian Rachel Arcand Karla Ardolino 60 Aspen Rd. 51 Brickett St. 819 St. James Ave. 1082 Plumtree Rd. 279 Sunrise Terr.

These were jobs that helped people make money while do- ing something they enjoyed. Excellent examples of this were the Ae 8 bands which were comprised of multi- Alyce Bates talented students from Central. These 90 Audubon St. bands included Bandana, Euphoria and Felony. Rob Slota, Bandana’s lead guitarist, said his plans for the future were “to become one of the biggest bands in the world and to be distinguished as one of the best guitar players in the world.” Other jobs included in this category were the people who were commonly disliked by athlete’s; the referees and umpires of various sports. All these jobs were rewarding experiences for all the workers. Gaining experience Paria Batiste while making money was a concept 44 Walsh St. practiced by many innovative Central Seniors.

It was an enormous weight off many seniors’ minds to know that they were heading off to college in the fall, following up the end of their high school Careers. It was at this most vulnerable time that a disease called ‘‘sen- ioritis’’ began to infect many se- niors. The warm weather, the countdown to graduation, and the feeling of anticipation these students felt towards the end of their senior year all greatly add- ed to the numerous cases of sen- ioritis. Grades were now less of a concern to the victims because they lacked the incentive to Strive for good marks. Instead of schoolwork, these hapless almost-grads found themselves spending their time On more ‘meaningful’ things such as partying, dating or catching up on sleep. Senioritis was a strong force which drastically altered the life- styles of many students. For many, the end of school was the only solution.

However, sii in the 1980's, more and more stu- dents were able to journey physi- cally to certain countries and expe- rience the culture at a closer range. Central participated in this ‘‘mod- ern’’ manner of examining different cultures by offering trips to both France and Spain. Last year during February vaca- tion, approximately forty students sojourned in Spain for a week. They visited ancient cathedrals, viewed an authentic Flamenco show, and toured the Prado museum. Forty- four students spent 10 days in France over April vacation, visiting such landmarks as the Eiffel Tower, the Arche de Triomphe, and the Louvre, where the Mona Lisa is displayed. This is not to say that the stu- dents who went on these trips did nothing but go on guided tours; on | After a long, weary plane ride, Erin Tully, Tina Burnell, and Alyson Taylor relax and enjoy the fresh air as the contrary, many people hit the their boat pulls away from England’s White Cliffs of Dover. Their destination: Paris, France! department stores for a once-in-a- Be lifetime European shopping spree. In the evening, some _ students kicked up their heels at popular night clubs and restaurants. Certainly these trips were an edu- cational, enriching, and exciting ex- perience for these students; howev- er, the trips were naturally quite expensive; students had to pay anywhere from 700 to 1,000 dollars (including spending money) in or- der to go, and many people had to save for months in order to acquire the money needed for the trip. Were the trips worth the cost? “You bet!’ most students answered. Cathy Bloch commented that ’Be- ing in France was a thrilling experi- ence that I was very happy to have. . . |would pay just as much money to go on the trip again.” | Seated in front of Notre Dame, Lisa Roche, Jenn Faulkner, Anne O'Donnell, Todd Downie, and Kirstin Hurst enjoy a break from a busy day of sight-seeing in France. a THF Deb Weissman y! determined to find the perfect gift, Brian Banks busily searches rough the many Spanish souvenirs displayed in a small shop Feature 13 ear the Roman Aqueduct in Segovia, Spain.

For years students have expressed great dissatis- faction with the quality of the food which is provid- ed by the school system. As senior Justin Gates put it, ‘I am appalled by the disgusting combina- tions of food that the cooks attempt to pass on to us.”’ Some students resort to having junk food to avoid eating the school lunches, but there is a more healthy alternative-the lunch. The bag lunch is a sim- bag ple solution to an age- Old problem. Many people that bring their lunch consider it to be more healthy, as well as more tasty, than the school lunch. “I bring my lunch to school because I play sports after school and would rather not have my stomach rot out while I'm doing laps be- cause of something inde- scribable that I ate,’ says senior Dan Kelly. Which- ever way you look at it, bringing your lunch to school provides a pleas- ant alternative to the school lunch without having to eat unhealthy junk food.

Everywhere you looked were the same tired old fashions that everybody else was wear- ing. Suddenly, you had the urge to wear something origi- nal, something that would get you noticed; or perhaps you were less daring, and you merely wanted some accesso- ries which differed slightly from the norm - - - where could you look for these “original” fashions? There were many alterna- tives to the mall when one got the ‘fashion blahs’’. Some people looked to the past for wardrobe ideas, shopping at “vintage’’ clothing stores. Others, uninspired by such shops, sewed their own imagi- native outfits. Wherever one went to buy clothing, each person’s indi- vidual style contributed equal- ly to making us an extremely well-dressed senior class.

They always seemed so happy to be with each other. Sure they had a couple of fights here and there, but they always made up. It was as if they were destined to be put into the yearbook as class cou- ple, because they seemed to have the perfect relationship. It was obvious that relationships were a big part of the high school experience. For a lot of people who were going out with someone in school, it seemed to make their classes a little more enjoyable, knowing that someone special was there with them. However, not everybody’s signifi- cant other went to Central. There were a lot of students who were dating people from other schools, other cities, and even from other states. When asked if she felt that she was at a dis- f advantage because her boyfriend lived out of state, Laura Bellotti responded, “I may not get to see him as much as | want to, but when I do see him I know that the money spent on long distance phone calls is worth it.’’ Though some relationships may have ended a while ago, the memories still endure. Even though some of the mem- ories may not have been pleasant ones, most people would agree that they at least gained a little more knowledge about human behavior. This knowledge could be a valuable learning experience for future reference. Michael Beville 271 Fernbank Rd. Irene Noqueira 244 Nash St. Takiyah Nobles 1646 South Branch Pkwy.

Some visited new and exotic, or old and familiar, vacation spots and whiled away sun- drenched hours smearing suntan oil on bronzed skin. Others slaved over typewrit- ers, cash registers. and grills, hoping to garner enough cash to play the rising costs of a college education. Still others remained at home, hung out with friends, and passed the time at the movies or parties. Probably, the most cher- ished part of the summer for everyone was the freedom to do what they wanted, when they wanted, without the pres- sures of school looming over- head. Unfortunately, the seeming- ly endless hours quickly ran out and, with all of its hard work and responsibilities, school was back with a ven- geance. No matter how bored we may have been over the sum- mer, aS September reared its ugly head, we realized that there never seems to be enough time to do all the nothing you want to.

But ten- sions unraveled at the last minute as couples arrived at Chez Josef, perfect- ly dressed and only slightly flustered. The formal atmosphere dissipated only after professional photos had been taken and dinner had been eat- en. But as the quiet dinner music gave way to a pulsating drum beat, the se- niors-to-be left purs es, jackets, shoes and ties behind for four hours of wild dancing. As the hours wore on, peo- ple left the crowd of dancers to fre- quent the soda bar or to sit at their tables in an effort to catch their breath. “| Live for Your Love’’ marked the end of the prom as couples gathered together a bundle of flowers, invita- tions, souvenir glasses and various other paraphernalia and headed for the parking lot. Promgoers rejected the idea that the night had ended, however, as they headed for post- prom parties and sunrise picnics at the beach. The seniors-to-be, in their first real function as the ‘First Class” of 1989, refused to let the excitement die.

Throughout the three years that Springfield Central High School has been open, the Class of 1989 has grown with the school. We metamor- phosed from a young class who had encountered many different school experiences, at.the junior highs, at Classical, and at Tech, into a single body of diversified stu- dents, who could function together to accomplish goals, such as a ben- efit dance, and countless success- ful carnation sales. As Central established itself as a leader in education, the Class of ‘89 established itself as the leader of the educated. This fact is attest- ed to by our impressive Honor Roll. Throughout our final year at Cen- tral, we seniors presented our- selves as a united group of individ- uals who had grown together and who were now prepared to break out of Central into a world filled with new experiences, new obsta- cles to overcome, and new ways to shine. The Class of 1989, a class of stars, will set the world on fire. Anne Holstead Seniors Editor Seniors 35 “We've been through it all,” re- marked class of ‘89 President Eric Pa- quin, referring to the seniors who en- tered Central on its opening day three years ago and were preparing for their long-awaited graduation ceremonies. Working hard with their new advisor Ms. Drey, President Eric Paquin, Vice- President Erica Hyland, Treasurer Byung Park, Secretary Lacretia Smith, and the Senior Class Representatives dedicated their entire senior year to giving Central a stronger student gov- ernment, well organized senior relat- ed activities, and a better prom. While joining student government allowed the senior officers to help their school, Erica Hyland also said, “It gave me a chance to experience the future challenges of the political world.’ Representative Patty Clark agreed that her status “helped me learn how to deal with people better and sharpen my leadership skills.” Through many lucrative fund-rais- x fj ‘ eK SS SS TOA First Class All The Way ers including the flower sales, these caring students reached out to Cen- tral. They also aided the community by organizing the Halloween Dance which featured the Breakdown in a benefit performance for the Marathon House. Always busy with one project or another to ‘‘make our last year the best,’’ according to Representative Elizabeth Boyle, the graduating mem- bers of student government are proud of their accomplishments. Besides re- ceiving a better understanding of how to plan memorable events, Byung Park stated that he “learned a lot of things about how people work with each other.’ Being the first class to graduate from Central High after com- pleting the full three grade levels, the graduates have grown with the school. ‘We are Central,’’ smiles Eric Paquin. And indeed they are.

However, some things never change. Eric Paquin | | | i _In his sophomore year, John Haire searched for fame as well as his tennis ball. As a senior, he intends to achieve his goal by being ‘friendly with the net in the off-season. Byung Park Most likely, many seniors can re- member their very first day of high school. The intricate maze of the school building, the pushing and shoving of upperclassmen, and the impossible teachers were all a part of beginning high school. Some may have been shy, while others had out- going personalities. And surely, some seniors hate to think back to what they looked like as sophomores! Dan Collins said, ‘No more glasses and no more braces. | don’t think I’m as decisive as I used to be but things don’t bother me as much as they used to.’’ Many students remember the joy of having their braces taken off, or the excitement of getting a pair of contacts. But physical changes were not the only noticeable differ- ences, because many members of the Class of 1989 also felt that their inner selves had changed as well. Most students agreed that they gained more responsibility as they progressed in school. The more com- plex situations which they had to deal with, such as writing many research Lacretia Smith we Was ee Patty Clark Liz Boyle Stacy Chambers , 2 Seniors Then And Now == papers, choosing a college, and driv- ing a car, called for new-found respon- sibility. Seniors also felt that they became more involved in school activities as they joined various sports teams and clubs, as well aS community service and academic groups. “I’ve associat- ed with a more diverse group of peo- ple,’ stated senior Julie Roy. Many students who made up the Class of 1989 became prominent leaders of these activities, experiences which taught them leadership and organiza- tional skills. The Class of 1989 has grown and changed in many ways since they en- tered Central High School as sopho- mores in 1986. They have changed in outer appearances, as well as chang- ing the way they feel about different things. Many of these changes brought them closer together, as they neared the end of their high school experience.

All of us, at one time or another, had high hopes for our class. And why not? The senior year is something ev- ery promising student works toward for twelve long years and should be rightfully rewarded for. Many of those hopes and dreams were fulfilled with senior class activities ranging from carnation sale fund raisers to the for- mality of the prom. Keeping in mind that grades and SAT scores were to be viewed by pro- spective colleges, students worked hard during the course of the year in order to assure themselves of accep- tance at the school of their choice. Yet when 2:10 on Friday rolled around, many students were so re- lieved to be away from the pressures of schoolwork that they carelessly for- got about homework or anything Slightly associated with school. For seniors, spending three years at Central watching themselves, as well as their friends grow up and mature was a moving and sometimes emo- tional experience, aS was seen on graduation night, when tears of joy trickled down the faces of a great por- tion of our class; for we had assem- bled for the last time in our lives as the class of 1989.

It featured the mu- sic of The Breakdown, a local rock and roll band, as they returned to Central for their second performance. This dance, sponsored by the Senior Class and SADD, benefited Marathon House, a drug rehabilitation clinic. The evening opened with two talented groups who came Straight from Cen- tral’s own student body. They were The Awakening, and School Of Hard Knocks. Following these performances, The Breakdown was announced by an at- tending radio station, WHMP 99.3 FM Northampton. The quys proceeded to “rock’’ the house. During intermission prizes were awarded to those individuals with the most imaginative costumes. The win- ners were Barbie Arel and Eric Koszalka as Romans, Mike Beville and Michelle Castonquay as a priest and a nun, and Jeff Blais and Jeremy Cratty as the rap- pers RUN DMC. They all received tickets to either a hockey game or wrestling match at the Springfield Civic Center. The evening was an enormous suc- cess and fun was had by all.

Christmas Bliss Although the evening of December 23, 1988 was cold and icy, many Central students and their dates donned their semi-formal attire and braved the winter’s inclement weather condi- tions. They ventured to St. Anthony’s Social Center for Central’s third annual Christmas Dance. It was sponsored by Art Travis with Jen- nifer Blais, Tara Hughes and Michelle Barrett who arranged the event on their own. Michelle and Jennifer said, “Handling the dance was a lot of hard work, but it paid off in the end as it was a lot of fun.”’ The dance featured music by the local disc jockey, D.J. Dennis with dancing and socializ- ing, putting Central students into the festive Christmas mood. Everywhere the eye could see were beautiful dresses and classy suits, but you could bet that by night’s end, the ties were off and the dresses were not so wrinkle-free any- more. Then came midnight, when everyone again had to face the New England Christmas weather as another successful Christmas Dance fell into hibernation until next year.

Some campaigned heavily for their favorite candidate, working at the polls, telephoning voters, and holding signs. Others expressed their opinions through buttons and t-shirts. Many a heated argument arose between Democrat and Republican supporters over the many different issues in the campaign: issues, that is, which could be discerned from observing the maze of superficial concerns, ranging from such topics as Bush’s mandatory Pledge of Al- legiance to Dukakis’s “Soft on Crime’ furlough program. Other students transcended the Democrat-Republican clash and stressed the voting public’s respon- sibility to go to the polls on election day. ‘It’s not that important wheth- er you vote Republican or Demo- crat,’’ noted senior and first-time voter Rob Jay, ‘As long as you ex- ercise your right to vote.”’ Debbie Weissman Politics is the future, and since the future is soon to be in the hands of my generation, I feel that now is the time to start understanding what to do with it. -Philip Benoit Standing proudly by her Dukakis Bentsen campaign sign, Nina Nowak laughs at a Republican passer-by who insists that Dan Quayle really is a good golfer.

Seniors 47 48 Underclassmen Although the yearbook is dedi- cated to the senior class, this sec- tion is an attempt to recognize the vast influence which all underclass- men had on life at Central. In order to capture the spirit of sophomores and juniors as a large faction of the student body, experiencing suc- cesses and failures together, the in- dividual portraits have been ar- ranged according to alphabetical order rather than by grade. Howev- er, Since these portraits merely identify faces,not inner selves, it has been endeavored to further de- fine the personalities which com- prise over two-thirds of our school’s population through vivid candid shots placed throughout the section. Keep in mind that this year’s seniors were once under- classmen too, and consider this to be a preview of your year in the spotlight!

They hoped to make their sophomore year as en- joyable as possible! And that is exactly what they did. The Class of 1991 officers planned many fundraisers to build up their treasury, the first of which was a profitable silver jewelry sale. The sopho- more class also sponsored two dances, a Thanksgiving Starting Off On The Right Foot flower sale, and various other fundraisers. Mike McCarthy, who decided to run for class president because “‘the best way to make sure things get done is to do them yourself,”’ was instrumental in making these activities a Success. All of the officers had hoped to gain a sense of responsibil- ity, leadership, and good time management from their expe- rience in Student Govern- ment. But in order to get the job done, class participation and cooperation were also necessary. Due to the sopho- more class officers’ hard work and dedication, the Class of 1991 enjoyed a prosperous first year at Central.

In A Minute It's five minutes before the bell rings and here you are frantically tear- ing through the pages of your book, cramming for that next period test. Why the rush? Procrastination, a uni- versal difficulty among students of to- day, has hit. When we were younger it was al- ways more enticing to go off with play- mates rather than to worry about “reading’’, “‘writing’’ and “‘arithme- tic.’’ By the time we reached high school, sports, the telephone, and the opposite sex had taken over. All students give valid reasons for committing this ‘‘crime’’ while realiz- ing where the fault lies. Junior Vivian Medina remarked, “I procrastinate because there always seems to be time enough to do things but in reality there never is!”’ Procrastination probably accounts for most missing homework and school assignments. Junior Karen Cooney revealed, “There are many times that I find myself saying ‘I'll do it tomorrow morning’ but then | catch my mistake and do it at that mo- ment.” Procrastination is another of the many high school diseases that plagues students, but it can be beat- en; Lets here it for the ‘‘early birds!” Tonya Ward Christopher Chaddan, 10 Dawn Chaffee, 10 Todd Chamberlain, 11 Michael Champagne, 11 Sathane Chanthanasinh, 10 Vahn Chanthanasinh, 11 Andrew Charest, 11 Kevin Charette, 10 Kamini Chhugani, 10 Robert Chhugani, 11 John Chigos, 10 Ung Chonmany, 10 Scott Chretien, 10 The dilemma of too much work chaos for Nikki Bellas. and too little time causes Neung Chummasormn, 10 Ying Chung, 11 Maria Ciarcia, 10 Mark Cieplinski, 11 Dawn Cincotta, 11 Darrin Clark, 10 William Clark, 10 Debra Clarke, 11 Jerald Cobham, 11 Anthony Coleman, 10 Steve Coleman, 11 Katherine Collins, 11 Kathleen Collins, 10 Lorenza Collins, 11 Ronald Collins, 11 Carlos Colon, 10 Evelyn Colon, 10 Luz Colon, 11 Miguel Colon, 11 Erin Combs, 11 Robert Combs, 11 Dochea Conaway, 10 Kevin Connery, 11 Joe Conniff, 10 Jeff Consolini, 11 Karen Cooney, 11 Bruce Corkins, 11 Maria J.

Visions of being stuffed in lock- ers, getting humiliated in the cafe- teria, and walking into the wrong rooms filled the heads of Central’s sophomores this year. The new- comers were seized by the same nightmares facing previous mem- bers of the sophomore class, but the new juniors didn’t make it any easier on their younger school- mates. “I was constantly given wrong directions,’’ sophomore Shawn Moriarty stated. Frustrated, but vengeful and determined to outwit the upperclassmen, the class of ‘91 refused to stay on the bottom. Meanwhile, the juniors roamed the school, forever under the watchful gaze of the senior class. Not understanding the dilemma of the sophomores, the juniors loved nothing more than the sight of a tiny tenth grader hugging the walls. Central’s underclassmen, al- though stressed out and overpow- ered, somehow Survived the year _ that was controlled by the almighty seniors. The juniors, on the verge of being seniors, searched for san- ity in the knowledge that they soon - would be respected graduates. The sophomores, on the other hand, were not totally complacent at the | prospect of earning only a junior status after completing the difficult tenth grade. : By the end of the year, both lev- els of underclassmen had accepted their temporary positions of inferi- ority, and were making plans to change it all in the upcoming year. The members of the class of ‘90 were ready to show their school spirit without any inhibitions, as they perfected the condescending attitude that all seniors hold. The sophomores decided that they, as juniors, would welcome Central's incoming tenth graders with kind words and respect. Well...

Of course, there came a time when all of the fun had to stop and one had to catch up on the house- cleaning and yard work, and this kept many teach- ers busy On the weekends. So, the next time you wonder why your tests have not been corrected yet, just remember, teachers really do have a life!

After 25 years of dedicated service at Central and Technical High Schools, Cummings retired in June 1988. In his retirement, Mr. Cummings pur- sued his love for mountain climbing. He con- quered the Swiss Alps and was challenging Chulu Peak in the Himalaya Mountains when he passed away from altitude sickness. Cen- tral will always remember Robert H.

Students are old enough to have the responsibility to tell their parents their prob- lem in that particular course they're failing. Mia No Grade 12 Parents And Grades Keeping up with the times Michael Buskard, Todd Chamberlain and Chris Pasay use a bit of Central’s modern technology to aid them in their studies. Seniors Tom RKoundea and Jim Dean take a few moments to reflect upon another busy day at Central. Back in our parents time, One went to school to learn the three R’s: reading, writ- ing and ‘rithmetic. These skills may not hdve meant much to them, it was impor- tant to their parents, many of whom wanted a better life for their children. Their parents kept a close eye on their children’s progress in school. Today, parents have continued to expect a successful future for their children. However, aS many students agreed, parents ran a routine check if home- work was done and how they scored on their tests. Students were left to their own means, trying to bal- ance a full schedule includ- ing participation in sports and clubs, part-time jobs, and volunteer services, all the time trying to keep their grades up.Senior Bob Thorton was an example of this as he maintained his “B’ average while keeping his position on Central’s wrestling team, working af- ter school and donating his time to Student Patrol. He did admit, however, that his success was due in part be- cause if his grades slipped, his parents would have been quick to reduce the number of his activities. Not willing to let that happen, he worked to maintain his average. Many students were free to engage in as many activities as they could handle until the par- ents noticed a drop in grades which would then result in a restriction in the number of activities until the student's grades began to look better. To ensure that parents were informed when a Sstu- dent was receiving below average grades, ‘progress”’ reports were issued stating their child’s progress and effort, or lack thereof. They were sent halfway through the marking term to give ample time to improve the grade. Today's students agree that parents have quided them, but they knew that they must have the desire inside to want to succeed.

A feeling of joy was in the air once again as Central's famous egg babies were hatched. Egg babies are among a Select group of eggs who have their own “‘iden- tities’ which are distinguished by names and faces. They were part of a special project assigned to students of Ms. Dzielenski’s Child Study class in order to help them acquire a better understanding of the amount of work which is involved in the day-to-day care of an infant. Among the responsibilities involved are provid- ing constant care and attention, which often included hiring a baby-sitter. The students became “parents” to their egg babies for several days and were responsible not only for their physical well-being, but also for its comfort and ‘“‘emo- tional’’ welfare. At the end of the project, the students were required to return a “healthy’’ baby, an egg crib, and a time table describing how the eqg’s days were for Sherry ing change to eye with a tot is a refreshing i fe) Seeing eye prendaast.

This taught them that as parents they were responsible for their child’s welfare. As was hoped, the students did learn more about child care. They learned, according to senior Takiyah Nobles, that as a parent ‘you think very closely about your baby” and that it is a ‘twenty-four hour a day responsibility.’’ Senior Tabitha Guess summed up the main purpose of the project when she said “It gives people a better understanding of the responsibilities of having a child.”’ Jennifer Paquette ture camer; ; €rist, Mic Halloween Party Rae Aiding a fy Part in the € Caston , Qua IN Child Care takes Sees With pride and joy, Michelle Kirton shares a 9 precious moment with her baby, her friend Shanta Magee, and Kermit and Company. “Sleep tight’’, Josie Stellato says as she gently tucks in her sleeping baby.

Complete with a 25x12 foot indoor luxury pool, a weight room well stocked with barbells and numer- ous nautilus machines, and an expansive gym, Central High’s physical education course offered something for everyone. From swim- ming, basketball, floor hockey, and handball, to weight-lifting, aerobics, vol- leyball, and wrestling, the indoor gym provided a mul- titude of options for eager and interested students to pursue. Central’s outdoor gym classes included foot- ball, baseball, softball, soc- cer, field-hockey, tennis and track and field.

The 1988-89 school year brought three student teachers into the gym class- es so they could learn more about the rewarding field of “phys. ed.’’ and help broaden the horizons of the students. ‘Physical educa- tion is an excellent way to earn experience for YMCA work,’’ reported Ms. Clark, a student teacher from Springfield College.

Though a relationship between the special-education students and the rest of the student body seldom existed in oth- er places, Central students accepted these students into their society by lending them a hand whenever pos- sible, and by treating them with the respect that they treat the rest of their peers.

Academic 87 88 Sports Central has had another success- ful year in athletics. Every team, whether they had a winning or los- ing season, exemplified true Cen- tral spirit and dedication to doing their best. Participation in sports gave stu- dents temporary relief from the ev- eryday pressures of the classroom. A good way to expend energy and develop athletic talent, sports con- tinued to be a popular pastime of Central students. Being a member of a team was an effective means by which students could learn to work together to achieve a common goal, and solo sports such as track, allowed one to push oneself to the limit in striv- ing to perform to the best of his her ability. Sports also gave students a chance to meet different types of people they would not normally have met in school. Friendships es- tablished through teamwork and cooperation are ones that will nev- er be forgotten.

Returning players were Ben Weaver, Pete Chhugani, Allen Jenney, and Rich Hall. Juniors Tom Pelletier, Robert Jay, and Stephen Smith were newcomers along with sopho- mores Larry Bechard, Wayne Hinkley, and Shane Sokoll. The new team members gained experience and defi- nitely improved throughout the season. A significant match for the team occurred on May 3, 1988 when they triumphed over well Known rival, Cathedral High. They earned the victory with a score of 3-2. They went on to prevail over Cathedral again on May 23, with a score of 4-1.

Central Girls Tennis 91 AQeas a When people look at the track team’s record, they of- ten make derogatory remarks. However, those remarks are often unfounded, as Coach Dutkiewicz and Coach Zquro worked very hard this year to bring out the talent which ex- isted in each athlete. Mike Martin said of Mr. Zguro, ‘He pushes each athlete to his ut- most limits.’’ This outstanding talent came mostly from the senior members of the team. Six Se- niors earned the right to go to the State meet. Included in this group were Western Mass triple jump champion Steve Phillips, 400 meter runner Mike Seabrooks, and mile re- ite lay team members Derrick St., John, Robert Sanderson, Dan McLaughlin, and Mike Seabrooks. Underclassmen looked to- wards a bright future for Cen- tral’s track teams. Leading the way were Jamie Podworski in the two-mile, Oscar and Sam Arrechea, who excelled in sprints, and Mike Martin in the high jump. Together, these athletes have built a strong track team, and with a few more athletes, the Central track team could be one of the prominent teams in Western Mass _ in years to come.

Boys Track 95 AaQrws ye With a great deal of effort, dedication, and hard work, the girls’ track team of 1988 achieved unity as a team and improved their individual ath- letic ability as well. This year’s team was described by Coach Kelly as a group that had “a lot of togetherness’’. On the individual level, Coach Kelly sa id she “noticed a huge im- provement” and gave credit to Mr. Zguro, coach of the swim team and soccer team, who shared his time, experience, and knowledge of the sport with the team and helped them a great deal. Throughout the season, the team was faced with a short- age of competitors. Instead of having an average of three girls in each event as most teams had, Central was often down to only one girl per event. This made it difficult for the girls to concentrate their practice time on their best event; rather, they had to ex- pand their talents and ener- gies in additional events where they were also needed. Focusing on the finish line, Sarah Breuer allows nothing to pierce her concentra- tion as She leaves her Ludlow opponent behind. With great determination and concentra- tion, Kim Hickey prepares to hurl the dis- cus for a winning throw that helped Cen- tral defeat Ludlow 79-55. 94 Girls Track Expanding Talent = Central had their first win on May 16, 1988, defeating Hol- yoke by a score of 70-42. This meet helped boost the confi- dence and spirits of the team members, and they went on to win their next meet against Ludlow with a score of 79-55. When the season came to an end and it was time for the Western Mass. competitions, two members of the track team had qualified in the indi- vidual events. Sarah Breuer, the team’s leading point scor- er, qualified in the 100 meter hurdle event and Dawn Dier in the 220 yard sprint. As they anticipated the coming year, they hoped to see more people joining the team with the same determi- nation and willingness that this past year’s team had. With this, the 1989 girls’ track team will have what it takes to get off to a good start that will carry it through the season.

Today is the biggest day of the season! What if we don’t win? What if I’m the reason we lose? | can’t play, I’m not ready!” If you have ever encountered this sense of nervousness, you've had a case of the ‘‘butter- flies.” For some, these pre-games jitters can be an advantage in disquise if handled in the cor- rect manner. Football player Joe Holstead thought that having a little nervous-tension is beneficial because, “it makes you more aware of what you are doing in the game and you play with more enthusiasm.’’ Danny Whitcomb of the Central baseball team agreed that “having that nervous feeling before entering a game is good for you because you don’t enter the game too over-confident.’” Some coaches even believe that without that nervous feeling in your ‘gut’, you're not ready to play. Although some Central athletes thought posi- tively of this athletic-tension, others found it too overwhelming. Some players became so taken by a lack of self-confidence that it interfered with their playing ability. Swimmer Kelly Van Zandt remembered a championship meet where, “as I dove into the water, I became so nervous that | forgot what stroke I was supposed to swim!” Call it what you may: pre-game jitters, ner- vous-tension, or just butterflies, a small amount of ‘‘queasiness in your stomach” has proven to be beneficial to the modern day Central athlete.

This en- abled Central to improve upon last year’s record of two wins, fourteen losses. One of the outstanding games of the season was played against Easthampton. Central tied the game, scoring two goals in the final ten sec- onds for a well-earned 4-4 tie. Central’s most notable game, however, was played against Palmer. In this game, the Cen- tral team skillfully demon- strated their offensive abilities and emerged victorious with an impressive score of 11-1. The team was led by cap- What a save!

Leading the defense were seniors Bob Hogan and Marty Curley, both playing their fourth year of varsity hockey.

The outlook for next year’s team is promising, with ju- niors Mike Nehmer, Rob Dionne, and goalie Dennis Wassung returning.

These peo- ple gave of themselves to help the school maintain its high standard of quality and create a positive im- age in the community. No one club was more important than another, but every student in each activity was outstanding in his or her own way. As editors, we hope to have suc- ceeded in accurately representing each individual club and the unique part each played in student life at Central. To achieve this, each organization was thoroughly researched and advisors and club members interviewed. Stud ents were quoted to reflect the proper perspective of their activity. It was our goal in designing this section to commemorate the school’s many distinct activities to keep alive in everyone’s memory the talents that were fostered amongst their peers in each organization. We also hope to always remind you of the most interesting and varied portions of life at Central-the extra-curricular activities.

On the third Thursday of every month, members of the club contrib- uted their research concerning the topic which was brought up in the pre- vious meeting. Some of the items dis- cussed were the mystery of King Tut’s tomb and curse, the enigma of the sinking of the Titanic and other ship- wrecks, controversial issues which brought about monumental and his- torical concerns, and other unex- plained phenomena.

CUTTING RED TAPE Amnesty International is a world- wide organization working towards the cause of upholding human rights. Members write letters to nations ' where human rights are suppressed, ‘trying to pressure the government into releasing those who are unjustly imprisoned. The group has had a well-publicized and high success rate. Last year was the first year for the Central chapter of Amnesty Interna- tional. They participated in such activ- ities as selling carnations to celebrate Human Rights Week and having a mini-fair where a petition was written to acknowledge the Declaration of Hu- man Rights. President Debbie Weiss- man said that the year got off to a slow start; however, all members were committed to the club’s cause.

These students, who shared a great interest in electronics, were in- volved in the Hi-Tech Electronics Club directed by Mr. Moquin. In this club, students gained an understanding of electrical equipment and its func- tions. The students, all higher level electronics students, wanted a chance to work with highly sophisti- cated equipment. Having aquired the specific knowledge needed to use the machinery, the students were able to begin work on many projects, such as the building of circuits and work with oscilloscopes (instruments that mea- sure waves and their frequencies). In- terest in the Electronics Club came about for a variety of reasons. “I’ve always wanted to know how things work and how to repair things,’’ said senior Scott Wark. For a few students, the interest will last long after high school as they will go into electronics as a career. The Hi-Tech Electronics Club helped them to obtain a firm grasp of electronics; knowledge that will be very helpful to them in the future.

The Video Annual contained scenes from the senior prom, picnic and graduation, all of which were con- densed into an enjoyable two hours. Since the video was fairly short, many didn’t realize the amount of work re- quired to produce the finished prod- uct. However, the five people in the special class which put out the video did remember all the time and dedica- tion which went into this year-long assignment. Along with the tedious jobs of writ- ing scripts and editing, the students “perfected video skills while being in- ventive and different,’’ stated Mike Mosher. This new way of presenting a yearbook proved to be popular as many students purchased the Video Annual, which they will look back upon in later years to relive cherished memories of their high school days.

Curtain Call From monologues and mimes to Stage and scene work, the world of acting is one of the most challenging but rewarding arts in which to partici- pate. Just ask any of the members in Central’s “Center Stage’ and they’d agree. With the help of their new advi- sor, Mr. Cremonini, the drama club lent their vivacious energy and poten- tial to understand who they are and who they had the ability to become. Newcomer Jannie Cruz affirmed, “Drama helped me to take on the identity of many characters while al- lowing me to retain my own individuality. ”’ All the actors and actresses en- joyed the close rapport they devel- oped with each other throughout the year. By delivering balloon-grams and searching for new ways to bring old plays to life, the drama members shared their tremendous talents with their fellow students.

Members found that not only were they a group of singers but a close-knit family as well. In reference to their most impor- tant performance, the Christmas Con- cert, Mary Jo Wilk stated, “Everything we put into this concert finally paid off when we Saw the delighted looks on the faces of our audience.” As participants like Darlene Ferraro explained, ‘The biggest benefit of be- ing in Madrigal was Seeing that, as a person, you have improved yourself. You find self-confidence that you nev- er thought you had.’ Every singer gave their best effort and the experi- ence that Madrigal provided was well worth the work involved.

Throughout the year, they worked toward improving their musical abili- ties with the help of vocal music direc- tor Mr. Fernandes. As Aaron Fay ex- plained, “Being one of the only two males in the group, my voice has grown much stronger in the past year.’’ Not only did they concentrate On vocals, but they also had a chance to add some dance steps to their mu- sical numbers. The group had oppor- tunities to display their virtuosity to audiences at concerts in the school and out. One of these concerts includ- ed a statewide jazz competition at which Jazz Rock won first place and two awards for individual vocalists. The key to these successful perfor- mances lay in the members’ ability to work together by sharing ideas and helpful hints.

Made up of a variety of wind, reed and string instruments, the orchestra enchanted audiences at perfor- mances throughout the year, includ- —— ing the Christmas Concert, the Spring Concert and the Big Apple Festival competition in New York City. The Central High School Orchestra worked very hard this year, and all of the “blood, sweat and tears” that Mr. Christie and the students put into their practices certainly came out in every shining performance.

While in New York, the students played their best in hopes of adding another tro- phy to their collection. As polished as the band sounded, it took them much time and effort to achieve such a high level of perfor- mance. It also took something every band member was all too familiar with: practice and more practice! (Band) involves perfecting your mu- sic and playing to your highest poten- tial’’, said Tonya Fisher. As Carla Ba- tiste stated, “Everyone could see by our performances that our efforts really paid off.’ Through hard work and determination, the band gained recognition and inspired audiences throughout the year.

The activities in which the drill team participated this year included football and basketball games, pep rallies, and a special San- ta Gram fundraiser held at Christmas- time. Anyone who was prepared to put the time and effort into the prac- tices was welcomed to join the Drill Team. And because their smiles and peppy attitudes were so important at games and rallies, team members had to put all of their enthusiasm into their performances. Their efforts paid off, however, as they got people on their feet at games and rallies, cheer- ing on not only Central’s teams but their performance as well.

The R OTC Drill Team consisted of two teams, male and female, of nine members each. These students par- ticipated in four regional competi- tions held once a month in Decem- ber, January, February and March. The teams competed separately in eight-minute routines where they were judged on difficulty, precision, teamwork and weapon control. Chief Palmer felt that these teams were the most outstanding teams he’s coached in recent years. “It’s not just a feeling of pride,”’ he said, “but also a feeling of unity, comradry; a feeling (that) people rally around.” Chief Palmer and the rest of the Drill Team felt that as long as team- work flourished within their ranks, their performances can only get bet- ter.

With co- captains Andrea Campbell and Kirstin Hurst, the rigorous workouts of the cheerleaders proved beneficial at Central's games. The girls energeti- cally cheered on their teams to victory with enthusiastic school spirit and winning routines. “A team that works together stays together. All the girls have given their best to each other and the team and it shows,’’ senior cheerleader Florence Comtois said of the team.

This year about 30 young men and young women composed the Central High Volleyball Club which met on Wednesdays and Fridays in the gym under the direction of Mr. Tipton. The club was divided into two teams, one for men and one for women. These students competed at vari- ous high schools in the area, aS op- posed to last year, when their compe- tition was limited only to Central. Many students agreed that competing against other schools was one of their favorite parts of being involved. Se- nior Hung Huynh said, “I joined the club for many reasons, but my main reason was to learn more about vol- leyball and to gain a little more expe- rience.’’ Senior Phung Lang and ju- nior member Andrew Santaniello agreed that the chance to play volley- ball and compete together as a team made joining the Volleyball Club a worthwhile experience.

With mesmerizing smiles, the Cen- tral High majorettes pleased the crowds with their fancy hand and foot- work at various events this year. These talented girls twirled at many football games and parades, and even competed in their own division at New York’s Big Apple Music Festival. Since the majorettes performed their duties with such grace and ease, most admirers didn’t think about the hard work which the majorettes put into their job.

The majorettes’ work certainly paid off, though, as they delighted people of all ages with their eye-pleasing performances. Amy Vlastos Front row: Naomi Dawn Roberts, Lynn Browsky.

Beginning after Christmas break, the group went skiing together every other Friday at Berkshire East. In ad- dition to these trips, members spent two different Saturdays in Vermont and a weekend in Killington. Ski Club was open to all who want- ed to ski, regardless of experience. Members improved their skills through sharing tips with each other. The club proved to be a popular way for students to get together outside of school and have fun.

The Great Outdoors The 1988-89 school year marked the first complete year of existence for Central’s Outdoor Sports Club. The club provided an opportunity to de- velop an awareness of the rapidly changing earth for students who en- joyed sports. With advisors Mr. Barnes and Mr. Culver, the active members went canoeing at Barton Cove, deep-sea fishing, and hiking on the Appalachian Trail and Mt. Hol- yoke Range. Meeting twice a month to discuss ecology, the Outdoor Sports Club pre- pared well for their trips and weekend activities by reviewing posters, work- ing with necessary equipment and at- tending orientation courses introduc- ing them to various aspects of nature. The club also proved to be an enjoy- able experience for all involved.

Setting Goals Led by President Michelle Long, Vice-President Melissa Kupiec, and Secretary and Treasurer Elena Calci- dise, the Central High School Field Hockey Club enjoyed practicing stick work, learning terminology and rules, and watching videos during their homeroom periods and after-school meetings. The club planned both in- tramural and extramural games, be- cause in order for a club to become a team, the club must play these intras- cholastic games for at least a year. Junior Elena Calcidise said, ‘I feel this year’s club was successful be- cause it will be a start of a new sports team which will start playing official field hockey games in hopefully two years.’ Advised by Ms. Scott, all members of the club had an optimis- tic outlook towards the future of the Field Hockey Club.

Under the quidance of Mrs. Mathras, the two club members were able to get a first hand look at what education involves by inviting practicing teach- ers to share teaching and learning ex- periences. Since both members want- ed to pursue a career in elementary school education, they continued their “research” by taking field trips to local elementary schools. There they were able to see for themselves their prospective occupations in ac- tion. In addition, these future educators also looked into which colleges would provide them with the best possible training and instruction. Hopefully what these students learned this year will give them insight into their future teaching plans.

On behalf of the Editorial and Business Yearbook Staffs, we would like to extend a special appreciation to both of our ad- visers and to Mr. Don Lendry for all of their dedication and fine work in produc- ing this yearbook. Index 201 oe entral’s true first gradu- ating class is now a memory. Recaptured in this yearbook, this memory will hopefully remind you of all of the joy, good times, and fun shared by the class of ‘89; because experiencing those things was our ‘“‘prerogative”’. In the past three years, as a class we have partaken in the learning and maturing process which has prepared us for that first big step into the world of col- lege, jobs, and other post-gradu- ation activities. In deciding which path to pursue after high school, many trusted teachers and counselors were there to help us along the way. Their in- fluence and advice were the ele- ments which contributed to the eventual production of a class of determined individuals who knew exactly where they were headed in life: straight to the top! Here at Central, this year’s se- niors learned to have confidence in themselves and in the work that the produced. In addition to this confidence, there was a feel- ing of pride, which shone through on June 5, 1989 when we stood together in the Spring- field Civic Center for our final time as a class to reflect upon the knowledge and wisdom we had acquired in our encounters at Central. We truly hope that you have enjoyed this book. In future years, if the memories of this “time to remember” ever slip to far from reach, the Signature staff hopes that you will be able to flip through these pages and recall the uniqueness of charac- ter of the First Class.

With fingers dancing across the keyboard, lead singer of The Awakening, Greg Ranson, leads his band in a smashing performance at Central’s Halloween Dance. Both Macaria Scarnici and Andrea Cambell agree that having a good friend like Carla Batiste to lean on makes the usually uncomfortable bus ride home much better. After pulling an ‘‘all-nighter’’ to study for two ma- jor exams, Anne Holstead has to pry her eyes open just to take the test. The close friendship of this group, Linda Craig, Takiyak Nobles, Dawn An- drews, Karen Paulk, Vicki Redmond, Andrea Williams, Jovan Rentas, Felicia Scott, Staci Chambers, and Mia No is evident as they all present Roberta Hargrove with a birthday cookie. vl Closing 203 “Whenever you find that you are on the side of the majority, it is time to reform.”’ Mark Twain a ey a ety S ae ha, ee oe i any, Me oy! a i fj F Ms A ie rr | AT me of aE) dine i { mt AY, yn h ’ Pu Aye x ' ' i v ' is a Sia ieee ania re TOSTENS |
