Cohasset High School - Tessahoc Yearbook (Cohasset, MA)

A friend is not someone who likes everything you do. A friend is someone who understands why you do it. During our past years the class of 1982 has learned much about friendships; what we can expect from a friend and what they can expect from us. We have learned how to deal with many different people, and most important of all, how to accept people. The lesson was not easily learned. We owe much to the sup- port and encouragement of the parents, underclassmen, and the faculty of CHS. They are the ones who have taught us how to take people as they are and have given us some very special memories. As we leave we bring these friendships with us, for we could have never managed without them. It is to those of you who have taken the time to give us enthusiasm, support, time, and understanding, that we, the Class of 1982, DEDICATE our yearbook. With our eternal gratitude, The Class of 1982

When my invitation arrived in the mail, I couldn ' t believe it — already my 10th year high school reunion! Our class chartered a luxury liner, the Harbor Rat to bring us on a four day cruise of beautiful Cohasset Harbor and the waters surrounding Minot ' s Light. Our ship was captained by Steve D ' Onofrio — fresh out of Annapolis. He was assisted by First Mate Michael Birmann. Among the first to board were Suzanne O ' Rourke and Maeve Rever, each wearing a hot pink alligator shirt and lime green tennis shorts. Dana Infusino came aboard still bouncing a basketball autographed by his idol, Larry Bird. Behind him came Tom Young and Bill McAuliffe, two rock singers from California. Once aboard, we were greeted by some of the ship ' s crew: Eric Gopher Murphy and cabin stewardess Eleanor Casey. The first night, after we had enjoyed a fine meal prepared by Sarah Froio and Andrea Beale, we were entertain- ed by David Featherston and his band Van Rush — Jon Durant on guitar, Scott Ripley on drums, David Reynolds on the trombone, Pat Conlan on the keyboard, Dennis Ford on the tamborine, and Derrick Lovering on the harmonica. While they played their solid gold hit The Friends We ' ve Made , boogiers such as Sue Young, Jim Collis, Suzanne Bird, and Jessie Chapin danced the night away. Following the concert, the mistress of ceremonies for the evening, Julie Ditmar, introduced the most exciting form of entertainment — female mud wrestling. A team of Sue Giles and Annie Abruzzese challenged Brenda Douglas and Sarah Fairchild to a match. However, referee Ben Kennedy called the fight when one team stripped the other. The audience loved it, but Steve Arnold and Andy Marks seemed to get a real kick out of it. Their screams and whistles were so loud that Mark DiNardo, bouncer and two time Mr. Universe, had to forcibly remove the two. He threw them out onto the deck, only to interrupt Jim Leonard and Maria Curelli smooching in the moonlight. The next day, our spunky Cruise Director, Mary O ' Brien had all kinds of games lined up for us! Sarah Barrett and Sandy Barrow were involved in a fierce game of Tiddlywinks, while Ron Bergenheim and Joel Linsley fought over whose turn it was at Monopoly. T.V. ' s new Fonzie, David Rourke had just edged out Father Daniel Hall in the Shuffleboard Tournament, and Tracey Swain had just defeated Debbie Andrews, Debbie Reed, and Kathy Ainslie in the Hopscotch Championship. The more exciting qames were being played on deck where Mike hedrow and Steve Bowen were having a jolly good time playing caps, while Liz Atkinson got sick just watching! Across the way, Mike Brady, Tom Atkinson, Peter Carlson, Anna Plante, Kristen Wurzel, and Cindi Manfredi were getting all worked up playing Red Rover. That night, the captain held a cocktail party to help us get reaquainted with one another. The three town gossipers, Cindy Pratt, Clover OToole and Heidi Pratt filled me in on all the stories. It seems that some people never left Cohasset. Karen Ingemi now owns the Log ' n ' Line (incidentally, Clark Chatterton STILL hangs out there!) and Jeannie Smith is her head waitress. I couldn ' t believe it, after all these years, Sheila Keating is still scooping (ice cream, that is) at the Strawberry Parfait and Arlene Humphreys is still charming all the regulars at the Donut Tree. Lance Skinny Trainor directed all his abilities towards solving the still present dump problem with the aid of the Beechwood Sewer Commissioner, David Sargent. If you can believe this one, Keith Goff is the principal of Cohasset High School and Andy Spalt is his faithful assistant! Stacy Thompson is the Athletic Director and Lee Pfaffman is an English teacher,. Barron Salvador and Dina Sestito tied the knot and now resides on Bassing Beach, with their ten little townies . Some others did leave Cohasset and entered other fields. Talent scout Matt Durant was checking out Kirsten Moore, Kerry Crehan, and Michelle Shea who made it big on Broadway. Speaking of making it big, Angela O ' Brien told me that Karen Howley had replaced Jane Russell on TV ads. Marcy Brown is now co-starring with Tom Selleck on Magnum, PI, while Jackie Goyette is making a million doing Wella Balsam Shampoo commer- cials. Cathy Hoy took over the Tonight Show with her sidekick Johanna Arola.
