As we, the class of 1985, prepare to end our high school days and pursue our various dreams, we turn around one last time to bestow our gratitude upon three very special advisors: Cynthia Whalen, Paul Rodolico, and Joseph Balvin. From the moment the curtain first rose on our Freshman Act until the final curtain call at Graduation, they were the backstage voices which prompted, cued, and cheered us on to our best performance. Although they never stood in the glaring spotlight of center stage, we recognize our advisors as having been the backbone of our production. Without their guiding presence behind the scenes, the cast could not have succeeded in its endeavors. Words seem insufficient thanks for the constant dedication and support which they’ve unselfishly given throughout our four years, but our appreciation runs deeper than printed praise. We offer to you Miss Whalen, Mr. Rodolico, and Mr. Balvin, our deepest gratitude — straight from the heart.

TRIBUTE TO A LEADER The completion of this yearbook signifies an important part of our lives — the timeless memories of our high school years bound up in one volume; a neat little bundle of our history that can be held in out- hands and relived time and time again with the opening of the cover. As the years pass and our memories begin to fade, we will turn to the last vestige of our high school years — MEMORABILIA 85 — and return to this time for a few fleeting moments; become teenagers once more. This was the goal of the Yearbook Staff; to provide each member of the Class of 1985 with something of priceless value in the years to come: reflections of friendship and youth. This goal could not have been achieved without a guiding hand to aid us in the organization of our four years; someone to help us P reserve the memories which vve worked so hard to create. We, the earbook Staff of MEMORABILIA 85, now take this time to profess our sentiments of gratitude to Mr. Edward Philbin, our yearbook advisor. Throughout the course of our labor, Mr. Philbin donated his time and patience in the name of MEMORABILIA 85. Sometimes it seemed we had taken on more than vve could handle; production was low and tempers ran high, but somehow he always guided us through, weathering our catastrophes and celebrating our progress. Now, as the lights dim on this final production of the Class of 1985, we acknowledge the great debt we owe to you, Mr. Philbin. Thank you for your time and understanding; thank you for staying with us even through the rough times; but most of all, as we hold upon our laps this precious part of our lives — THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES! “You handle it, I’ve had enough. “Sure! Sounds good to me. “You did what?!” “We will make this deadline! 4
