The 1979 musical was “The Pajama Game” under the direction of Mr. Anthony Mangini. Musical director was Mr. Wayne Fenster- macher and choreographers were Ann Crowley and Francine Sama. Keith Slobodein, Terri Tizman, Liz Eber, Mark Fiel, Fran Sama, and Tim Smith held major roles. Supporting roles were held by Robin Speilberg, Amy Hirshberg, and Jennifer Cummings.

Amerman, Coach Manara The 1979 Lacrosse team had their best season ever, with a record of 17 wins and no losses. The team captured the two most important tourna- ments in Lacrosse, The Coaches Tournament, by defeating Lawrenceville Prep 11-9 and The State Tournament defeating Montclair 10-4. They also beat Montclair by a score of 14-3 to win the first Gill Gibbs Memorial Trophy. The outstanding Lacrosse Team kept Columbia in the number one position all year. Ten members of the team made the All-State team. They were as follows: Bob Bianchi (for the 3rd time), Mike Bufo, Steve Darwin, Steve Flach, Jack Francis, Rich Glancy, Jay Harkey, Ed Lew'is, Joe Perez, and Don Richardson. Two of these players, Bianchi (for the 2nd time) and Francis were selected as All- Americans. Many school records were broken during the season. Perez scored 48 goals, the most ever scored in one season and in the state. Glancy, with 40 points, broke the record for the most points by a midfielder. Francis got 169 ground balls this season and won 110 faceoffs. Bianchi was the first player in 9 years to break the 100 point mark with 103 points, 62 of which were assists. His total point ac- cumulation was also record-breaking, he had 228 points scored with 112 assists. Further, Bianchi was chosen as the New Jersey “Player of the Year”. Coach Curcio was also awarded by being named “Coach of the Year.” Columbia is looking forward to another suc- cessful season.

Over the past three years the team has accumulated forty-three wins and no losses. The team, led by tri-captains, Lynn Heckman, Katie Drubel, and Reggie Sullivan, dominated all of their matches. Although they lost twice to Montclair their toughest competition, in tournament play, the Cougar team continued to excel. Columbia also won The Essex County Tournament and The Tournament of Champions, with the support of Beth Caskey, Kathy Weiss, Kiere Himley, Beth May, Michele Arancio, Missy Young, Kathie and Debbie Stoppello, Chris Sheridan, Jeanne Gainsberg, and Maura Guthrie.

The team made it to the finals of the Essex County Tournament and to the second round of The State Tournament. Co-captains were Marguerite Dempsey and Jessie Brubaker. Brubaker was selected to the first team of All-State, All-Essex, and All Group, for the second consecutive year.

Although the team finished the season with a final record of 3 wins and 16 losses, Columbia did have one outstanding player, junior Eric Brief. He placed third in The Essex County Tournament with a score of 78 and also won the Kevin O'Reilly Memorial Trophy. Other starting members of the team usually included Roger Hennefeld, Mitch Hindman, Keith Kirkman, Paul Mackinson and Pete Waeschle. Since the team consisted of only juniors and sophomores, Columbia is looking forward to a strong season in 1980. i 23 BASEBALL The 1979 baseball team won its second consecutive GNT championship — the first time ever that a team had done this. Before becoming the champs, the team defeated Shabazz, Nutley, Irvington, and, in the finals, Livingston. They also made it to the states, but was defeated by Linden, 3-2, in the first round of the tournament. The team had an overall record of 16 wins and five losses. Offensively, the team was led by Ron Romano and Jack Sherwood, who both had batting averages of over .400. Sherwood led the team with 29 hits, while Lred Knowles led in RBI’s with 18. Romano drew an outstanding 18 walks, while teammate Mike Vitiello hit three of the team’s seven home runs. Andy Woz- niak and Bob Racioppi were quick on their feet with 11 and 10 stolen bases respectively. Defensively, the pitching staff did a remarkable job. Outstanding were Jeff Craught (5-3), Pat Daniels (4-1), Bobby Keller (4- 1), and Ron Romano (3-0). Daniels had an excellent .97 ERA. Craugh pitched exceedingly well in all his games, but his strong pitching was shadowed by the lack of hitting by his teammates. Jeff Craugh pitches another victory.

By sharing their vast array of knowledge, experiences, and ideas, they’ve broadened our horizons and added new dimensions to our lives. Many we’ve liked, a few we’ve disliked, but nevertheless, their impact will always be felt. The faculty represents a contrasting group of people, differing in age, philosophies and personalities. Some are old enough to remember our parents, a few are our parents, while others are barely older than ourselves. But regardless of their age, their dedication to teaching and interest in our personal development is appreciated by all. And, while we, the students, are the first to admit that there are moments when we wish they’d all disappear, we'd like to say thank-you now for all we’ve been taught. We couldn’t have done it without you! Tl s Tom Gosling watching Mr. Chase on film animation. Columbia High School has an extremely impressive and varied art department. Courses, which include painting, drawing, and sculpture, deal with expressing yourself creatively. Crafts, another popular course of- fered by the department, exposes students to, among other areas, ceramics, stained glass making and batik. In addition to arts and crafts, courses are offered in basic art history, photography, design and film mak- ing, all classes in which students can enjoy and learn at the same time. Mr. W.

Pedoto Although I only had room in my schedule to take two business courses at Columbia, I found both of them to be most useful to me. The skills I acquired in typing not only improved my speed, but helped me to become efficient at typing manuscripts, reports, out- lines, and business letters. Contrary to popular belief, these skills are not only used by secretaries. I found typing college essays, material requests and term papers much easier since I knew the format for the footnotes, bibliography, etc. beforehand. Another unique course 1 took was the Secretarial Studies where, in addition to further adventures on the electric typewriters, I learned the written language of shorthand. This class uncovered how a cluster of scribbles on a small piece of paper would transcribe into a formal business letter. The business depart- ment not only boasts fine, modern equipment for the students’ con- venience, but also compe- tent teachers who are up- to-date on new business trends and always willing to help in any way they can.

Menza While I was permitted to avoid one year of science and mathematics in high school, the state insisted that I have English every year. Freshman English is a blur, but my experience at Columbia remain vivid. Sophomore English was full of tragedy, ranging from Shakespeare’s MacBeth and Julius Caesar, to trying to master dangling participles and adverbial phrases. Junior year started with a study of literature by major British writers, or was it major literature by British writers? From that cpurse I proceeded to a study of modern drama. I viewed this as an advancement of sorts, since this time I read works from all over the world, not just Great Britain. Senior year was not just major and modern, it was nerve-wracking and challenging. In AP English I struggled to meet the teacher’s goal of making me a better reader, writer and speaker, although I think my major accomplishment was reading a novel the night before an exam, and un- derstanding it without relying on the stu- dent’s bible, Monarch Notes. I have had an enjoyable experience with English at Columbia. I have conquered the dangling participle and have been exposed to major literary works from all over the world. Perhaps my greatest accomplishment though, is that after three years of English at Colum- bia I no longer write good, now, I write well. Miss P. O’Hanlon 47 Mrs. E. Oliver Mrs. S. Poss Mrs. S.

Chairman Most high schools of- fer courses in cooking and sewing, but how many actually let the stu- dent work with the child in the classroom? Colum- bia has a fully equipped preschool which allows the student to have the opportunity of working with young children. I was lucky enough to have the experience to work as an aide in the preschool. Under the supervision of Mrs. Cryer and Mrs. Kent, two sessions are held three times a week, each containing fifteen children. I learned many ways to deal with the children in a structured environment. With the help of Mrs. Cryer I soon became familiar with the different teaching techniques needed to run a classroom efficiently The preschool helped me learn a lot about myself and realize that teaching is no easy job.

Chairman Industrial Arts at Columbia is a very popular department. Many students take courses from architecture to auto mechanics. Even many girls are now Finding out how much fun industiral arts can be. The department offers courses in auto mechanics, woodworking, metalworking, electronics and drafting. It has a new teacher this year Mr. Wieda, who moved up from the junior high and is teaching wood shop. The auto mechanic courses at Columbia are in- teresting, ranging from introductory mechanics, which is theory of an engine, to vocational mechanics which is a two period a day course designed for someone who is planning on being a mechanic. With the guidance of the instructors, students learn many practical and professional skills which will be useful after leav- ing Columbia. Mr. M. Mathewson Working hard in industiral arts. Mr. D.

Of course, there were moments of deep regret, but overall, I’ve enjoyed the three years of training to become a bilingual. During this time, I have picked up teachers’ accents from Spanish Michigan, New York, and even Mars. In tenth grade, we studied grammar, and grammar, and gram- mar. We learned the preterite, the subjunctive, the pluperfect, the conditional, the imperfect, the imperfect subjunctive, commands and twenty other tenses. We had our first “Feliz Navidad” (Christmas) party and made pinatas. Things picked up in my junior year. I remember so well, “Marianela”, a book about a poor orphan girl who slept in a basket and had a crush on a blind man, and eventually died of a broken heart. Our “Marianela” projects ranged from Marianela love songs to Marianela cookies. Then, my senior year came. I recall thinking how smart I was to think of taking out a translation of the assigned Spanish novel from the library. I soon learned how smart the entire class was when I found that every translation was already borrowed from all the libraries within a fifteen-mile radius of Columbia! What made Spanish special for me, however, were the teachers. They were almost always there before and after school, willing to explain and re-explain material gone over in class. They also permitted a lot of flexibility in class, allowing us to choose our own projects and presentation groups. This year, we read many different plays, novels, and poems, and, after three years, we (Spanish students) have reached the ultimate conclusion: All main characters in Spanish literature die. Happy endings simply do not exist! Although I wasn’t always prepared for the un-announced “pruebas” (quiz), I always answered the last question correctly. Just remember, whenever a Spanish teacher asks you, “What happened at the end?’’, simply reply “Se murio” (he died) and you’ll be all right. Mr. E. Passarge Mr. A. Quiroli Mr. W. Price Mr. D.

Schmoll In my three years at Columbia I was able to choose from a multitude of different gym classes. Everything from Weight Training to Advanced Swimming was offered. I knew if I could narrow it down to three choices for each quarter I was bound to get one. But the trick was not to repeat any choice. I narrowed my third choice down to Touch Football or Wrestling, luckily, I didn't get either. This year the physical education program was changed. Each quarter the gym is filled with gym teachers announc- ing what courses are offered. If you can find your computer card, make your way off the bleachers, and catch up to the gym teacher who has the class you want, you’ve got it made. If not, you’re stuck with Ad- vanced Square Dancing. So far this year I’ve been able to get all my first choices, and I’ve also had the opportunity to teach a Beginning Swimming class which I really enjoyed. So when the new quarter rolls around, put your running shoes on and be prepared for anything! Mrs. M. Spangler Mr. V. Lomakin Bonnie practicing her free throws in solitude. Mrs. M. VanDorpe Mr. D.

Wujek gajs SCIENCE I will never forget my science days at Columbia. Even for a classic English-history student like myself, biology, physics, and chemistry were understandable, interesting, and yes, even at times, fun! The teachers in this department are to be highly com- mended. They all seemed to have found the perfect balance be- tween work and play. The science teachers in this school have always had the reputation of being just a little bit “off the wall.” This is what makes them all so terrific. Dissecting frogs in biology has to have been one of my greatest accomplishments. I, who will not go to a movie if there is the slightest bit of bloodshed, was actually the only one at my lab table who would touch the frog. Perhaps there is a career in medicine for me after all!! Then came the sheeps’ eye — that was a whole different story. Physics proved to be, while perhaps not as gory as biology, just as interesting. Who could ever forget counting little dots on ticker tape? or, the egg drop contest? For those of you not in my class, our assignment was to construct a box, holding a raw egg, in any shape, material, or form, which would then be dropped from various heights. The egg that lasted the longest won. Imagine the expressions on the faces of people, walking in front of the school, and seeing a box, with an egg in it, falling from the watchtower. Chemistry, in my senior year, was no less eventful than biology or physics. If anything, it was more so. Instead of dissecting frogs or counting dots on ticker tape, we experimented with potentially explosive substances. There was always an aura of suspense in this class — especially since my lab partners and I shared a table with two mad scientists, who were sure to blow us up one day. As I said before, the teachers in this department are really something special. I will always remember the day my biology teacher actually got down on the floor to show us which was her ventral side and which was her dorsal side. Well, some high ad- ministrative official just happened to be walking by and you should have seen the look he gave our class! I will also never forget the floor sliding contests held by the teachers on the third floor, or the Chemis-tree made by our chemistry teacher this year at Christmas time. After one reads what I’ve written about the science depart- ment, it might appear that science is all fun and games. This is not true at all. A lot of hard work is done by both the teachers and students and, over the years, I’ve acquired a tremendous amount of knowledge. Mostly, I’ve learned that it is possible to enjoy working and learn at the same time. 59 Mr. E. Beron Mr. C. Burns Mr. N. DePinto Mr. J. Gavitt Mr. W. Haven Mr. D. Hogenauer Mr. Little and students during a fire drill. SOCIAL STUDIES Mr. Huntington Mr. E. Kline Dept. Chairman Mr. W. Little 60 Ms. B. Lechter What basically motivated my decision to take Modern History besides the fact that I always liked history, was that as a prerequisite to taking A.P. U.S. History in senior year, a previous course in history, taken at Columbia, was necessary. Although the class, at times, could be tedious, I’m not sorry I took it. Sitting in that room, taking notes and eventually showing my understanding on tests, developed, in me, an invaluable sense of scholarly discipline, which I know will be useful to me in my forthcoming years of study. Also, I feel a certain sense of satisfaction when I can understand allusions made to various historical figures or incidents. In my junior year, mostly out of fear, I decided not to apply to European History A.P. Instead, I took a half year course in Russian history. In this class, we explored and attempted to under- stand, a people, whose society and customs are dif- ferent from our own. Also, in this class, each student was required to take a topic of study, related in some way to Russia and write a paper about it. For some, this was the first experience with paper writing. For others, it provided further experience. Finally, senior year rolled around, and with it my long awaited A.P. U.S. History course. Basically, this class was an extremely worthwhile experience and an excellent preparation for college. Besides the practice and learning acquired from writing a paper per mark- ing period, the depth in which we dealt with topics could not be found in any other class. The teachers in the Social Studies department at Columbia all have much to offer to their classes.

Lynn Sharkey Often as I walk through the halls I am greeted by people I don't recognize and asked about homework which 1 know nothing about. Why? Because I am one out of the twelve sets of twins, all of whom will be graduating this June. Although we only make up about 4% of this years senior class, we do not go unnoticed by the rest of Columbia's students. It's sometimes very amusing to confuse teachers and people who only know one of us, but at times its also annoying. People constantly say hello to me but say my sisters name or are amazed at how quickly I move around the building. I have to admit that 1 am also guilty. 1 even call my friends who are twins by the wrong name. This happens because I'm just not paying attention or because I don't take a close enough look, although sometimes a close look isn't enough. Being identical, 1 have a harder time than the nine other sets, since we hap- pen to look more alike than most twins. Some people find it difficult at first to see any differences, but if 1 were asked if I thought we looked alike I'd have to say no. Only because I see more differences than similarities. Columbia has had its share of lookalikes but this year's seniors had an un- usually large number: twelve sets, four of which were identical. Since only one out of 284 births are identical twins, four in one school is really a record. But Columbia is known for setting records. As for next year, Columbia will be a little more ordinary but at least people won't think they're seeing double! VINCENT J.

Students participating in this program, which only operates in the morning, must take English, History and Physical Education. Mini courses, such as Poetry, Drama and Vocabulary are also offered providing added interest and variety to the program. In the afternoons, students in the alternative program may choose to either take classes in the regular track or work at a job outside of school program provided in most cases by Cooperative Industrial Education, a school related program. About sixty students participate in the Alternative School, which is in its sixth year. Teachers involved with the program include Mrs. Casapulla, Mr. Gavitt, (who have both been with the program since it started) Mrs. Butcher, Mr. Burns, Mr. Klepack, Mr. Cordasco and Mr. Richter. Students in this program enjoy the relaxed atmosphere and better rapport with teachers which is sometimes dif- ficult to find in the regular high school experience. A feeling of closeness, like that felt in a family, is felt among all those involved in the program. One day a week, as an alternative to Phys. Ed. students may choose to participate in field trips which in the past have in- cluded ski trips, roller skating, horseback riding and bowling. This year a series of speakers from various groups, including Smokeenders, Gamblers Anonymous, and Alcoholics Anonymous came to speak to the Alter- native School. Both the teachers and students found this new feature of the program to be informative as well as thought provoking. The Alternative School hopes to continue to expand and meet the needs of all those involved.

Locally, the team has been leading the Iron Hills Math League, a league which encourages students of all grades to participate at their own levels in team events. In the annual statewide exam sponsored by the Association of Math Teachers, Columbia dropped from first place last year to second this year. Although the team has gained strength during the year and scored better this year than last, Columbia has been slower to emerge as national power, but the team placed eighteenth in 1979 in the major nationwide exam. Beneath all statistics, the Math Team teaches students one major skill: the art of problem-solving. So here is a problem for the graduating class to ponder: How many zeros are at the end of (1)(2)(3)(4) . . . (1980)? Back Row: M. MacCumber, D. Anniballi, B. Rogal, C. Wehrle, G. Jaffe, A. Barry, A.

They have tried to raise student awareness of the various happenings around them by pub- licizing Student Council events, Parnassian productions, and other school related functions as well as athletic events. Founded and led by senior cap- tain Eve Morowski, the squad consists of 15 Varsity members and other pep people. They met once a week Sept, through Jan. and once a month for the re- mainder of the year. Through candy and bake sales they raised money to partially pay for sweaters and poster-banner sup- plies. As a result of time and effort spent this year, Eve and a fellow senior, Pami Shell hope to have encouraged student involvement in Columbia’s extracurricular ac- tivities and are looking forward to seeing increasingly more people participate in the future.

The Foreign Student Exchange Committee was fortunate enough to host 5 students this year. We, the American students, held recep- tions in West house commons after school so that the foreign students could meet people. We also held a farewell reception in January when Chris Rooke left us. Some of us get together with the foreign students after school hours so that they can experience the teenage version of American culture. It’s funny though, we’ve found that we can learn just as much about them and their culture as they learn about us. Gisele Sanches — Brazil Back Row: Mr. Hogenauer, M. Klimowicz, S. Sanok, L. Joseph.

It was an opportunity for some of us to further pursue our dance studies, while for others it was an introduction to the dance world. Most of the time we spent dancing in school everyday went into preparing our January Dance Concert. While preparation for the Concert was often tedious, time consuming, and very trying on the muscles and nerves, the satisfaction received on Concert Night was far more than we could possibly have imagined. Our performing schedule not only included Columbia High School but various elementary schools as well as Sub- urban Cablevision. In addition to being dancers, some of us also became choreographers, committee chairmen and costume designers. This year, for the first time Columbia High School had a professional dance company in residence for three weeks in the Spring as a result of a dance grant from the National Endowment for the Arts. This company was available to the Special Dance Class as well as stu- dents who chose to take Modern Dance during their gym period. Special Dance has helped all its members gain confidence about their dancing whether they want to continue for personal enjoyment or toward a professional career. ASSEMBLY COMMITTEE The Assembly Committee is a group of nine students who meet each week to select, design and schedule educational and entertaining assemblies for the stu- dent body. Under the guidance of Mr. R. Rosenberg, the committee discusses and critiques each program in an effort to improve the quality of the assem- blies. In past years, several of the assemblies have included the music group, “Your Father’s Mustache,” speakers Peter Shapiro and Joel Jacob- son, the hypnotist, Mr. Ross, and Michael and Sarah with their program “The Art of Mime.” Programs per- formed by the C.H.S. students have in- cluded the annual Pep Rally, The Quiz Bowl, The Jazz Band, the Special Dance Class presentation, and the Par- nassian Society and the all-school production previews.

Opening this season against a tough West Essex Team, the Columbians won the match 5-0. The Team was comprised of Jeff Cohen, chairman of the Club; Mark Glickman; Garland G. Foster Jr,; Matt Mac- Cumber, captain of the team; and Todd Richard. They won the Iron Hills Conference Championship for the sixth straight year. The team has gone undefeated and had the top three players in the league. They are Jeff Cohen, Mark Glickman, and Matt MacCumber. Members of the team are selected from the five best in the Chess Club. There is a ladder with challenges possible once a week at Club meetings after school. The Team has dedicated their season to their chess mentor, Mr. Pierre losso, who left for a sabbatical at the end of last year. Though two seniors, Jeff Cohen and Mat MacCumber are graduating this year, prospects for next year are bright for the continued success of the team. Jeff Cohen President -a D. Anniballi, T.

To find that your program had been misplaced? Or that no keypunch there was working? If your answer to those questions is no (or rarely so) then thank the lab aides for doing an excellent job of keeping the problems of the math lab under control. Occasionally that’s very easy, and a lab aide need only put programs into the computer and press a few buttons. But as often as not, the computer breaks down, a calculator won’t work, a card punch jams, there are no rub- ber bands left, and fifteen students are waiting for their programs and will fail if they can’t hand them in. Given that, why would anyone want to be a lab aide? One reason is that the job pays a little money, another that lab aides often help other stu- dents with programming problems and en- joy being helpful. But the primary reason is the value of gaining some acquaintance with the machines that so influence America today. DEBATE CLUB In the spirit of Abraham Lincoln and Stephen A. Douglas, the C. H. S. Debate Club had another fascinating year under the able direction of Mr. William Little. Debating amongst ourselves, we covered all the controversial issues of the day. Even if we didn’t all agree on the future of Socialism or the justification for nuclear power plants, the shouting was worthwhile because we at least provoked some thought. Front Row: D. McCroary, F.

Production of The Columbian couldn’t begin until the end of October, because a necessary composing machine had not yet been delivered. Then, the staff had to cope with absences, apathy, inexperience and a lack of finances and supplies. The Columbian picked up speed half-way through the year and the April Fool’s issue was a student favorite. Now that this school year has ended, we will remember the frustration and disappointments that we experienced but more importantly, we will remember our relief when an issue was published and the good times we shared.

Diamond. The Newcomers Club is a new club this year, that was originated by Mrs. Oliver. This club was formed so that people new to Columbia High could meet one another. Mem- bers of this year’s club were students from different states and countries, such as Colum- bia, Sweden, Germany, Maine, Maryland, Spain, California, and Japan. At one time in life, everybody experiences the feeling of coming to a new place and not knowing anyone. The Newcomers Club welcomes new people on a friendly basis. People with similar problems learn to cope with them together. Some of the activities we had were a book sale, Halloween and Christmas parties, and a trip to New York in the spring. The members of the club meet on a daily or weekly basis to plan new activities or to just sit and talk. This club serves its purpose by bringing together new people and coming out with new friends.

Brown THE NEWCOMERS CLUB I had been asked to come to a meeting the day before the opening of school, to meet with “newcomers”. These were kids who, for the most part, had never been in South Orange or Maplewood. 1 decided to go, foregoing the last day of my vacation. Hopefully, some of the fears of C.H.S. by the newcomers could be allayed. At the newcomer orientation, I found myself en- joying the company of different kids from many different states and countries. Their questions about the school were answered, and guided tours of the school were given. Now the newcomers knew someone going to C.H.S. and would be less isolated at the opening of school. Hopefully, all of the newcomers started off on the right foot! Standing: J. Brainard, M. Solondz, G. Jaffe, J. Weinstein Sitting: W. Bierman, T. Smith, L. Gross P. A.

Coached by Mr. Deo, Mr. Dolinski, and Mr. Pew, our Cougar team started out strong by winning its first two games, but was soon halted when plagued by in- juries. Led by senior tri-captains Rich Glancy, Ed Lewis, and Jim Sheridan, and helped by the fine play of seniors John Alves, Paul Amerman, Dave Cosimano, Victor DiLuzio, Steve Darwin, Pat Daniels, Bill Hendricks, John Cor- diero, Dave Furbish, Pooky Adams, Sidney Travis, and Don Ward, the team set a record for the most passing yards. Pat Daniels set one for throwing the most touchdown passes. Rich Glancy tied a record for the most pass receptions, and Sidney Travis set one for recovering the most fumbles. Victor DiLuzio led the team in tackles, while Rich Glancy led the team in total rushing and he scored the most points. Steve Darwin had the most quarterback sacks. Personal honors were also bestowed on some of the team members for their excellent play. Pat Daniels made first team All-Orange, while Rich Glancy, Dave Furbish, Ed Lewis, and Bill Hendricks made the second team.

SOCCER In 1979 the Columbia Soccer Team accomplished the unique feat of winning its second consecutive New Jersey State Group Four Championship. The team captured five titles this year. They won the Iron Hills Conference Champions with a record of 11-0-2, and The Essex County Championship by defeating Bloomfield in the Finals 1-0. By beating Scotch Plains 2-1 they won the State Sectional title and by defeating Ridgewood 3-0 they captured the Northern New Jer- sey title. The team, led by senior tri-captains, David Masur, Brian Kerrigan, and Paul Bayer, were also ranked number one in the state by The Star Ledger poll and The New Jersey Coaches Association. Individual awards were also presented. Paul Bayer, David Masur, and Brian Kerrigan made first team All- Essex, while seniors, Anthony Bianchini and Jimmy Benjamin made second team. Junior, Dan Fell made third team and all three captains made the All-State Team. David Masur was also named an All American; he is the third Columbia player to have received this honor. Coach Gene Chyzowch gave much credit to his seniors for inspiring the under- classmen to play in practice all year long. With seniors, Graeme Macrae, Eric Brief, and junior Steve Giordano in goal, the team set a record of 15 shutouts. Only 13 goals were scored against Columbia while the team managed to score 71 goals. This year was also the first year that The Columbia Soccer Team went undefeated. Their final record was 24-0-2. Dan Doyle keeps the ball away from the goal.

The girls team, led by co-captains Joetta Clark and Linda Gloshinski, won the Essex County Tournament and came in second for the Iron Hills Championship. The team also competed in the sectional and state tour- naments. Several team members received distinction for their outstanding performances. Joetta Clark made All-State and All-Orange, while Kristina Skoldquist, Liane Pinto, and Linda Gloshinski made All-Orange as well. The boys team, whose captain is Dave Hirsch, was also Essex County champs. The team competed in the sectionals and Passaic Coaches Invitational tourna- ments, and in the Iron Hills and Manhattan Invitational Conferences, where they reached second place in both. Three members of the boys team made All-Orange. They were Dave Hirsch, Mark Robinson and J. J. Clark. Dave Hirsch and J. J.

Coached by Melinda Gardner, the team came in second in The Iron Hills Conference with a record of 9-3-1. Although upset in the first round of The County Tournament, the team made it to the Sectional finals of the State, before being beaten by Westfield 2-1. With the strong play of seniors, Mary Pat Sherwood, Sue Rechner and junior, Debbie Burdorf, Columbia was able to put 46 goals past their oppo- nents, while the opposition were only able to score 18 goals against Columbia. With Lisa Rott in goal and the fine defensive play of junior fullback Tammy Jacobs and Sophomore fullback, Clare Kenny the team had eight shutouts. Four of Columbia’s players made the All-Essex Team. Sue Rechner and Mary-Pat Sherwood made the First team, while Lisa Rott and Tammy Jacobs made third team. Sue Rechner also made the second team of the Northern All Stars.

BOYS’ GYMNASTICS The Columbia boys' gymnastics team had another successful season in 1979. Led by senior co-captains Vinnie Bauer and Tony Magnier, the Cougars ended their season with a 10-2 record and they captured their fourth straight Northern Sectional title. They also placed fourth in the State Finals by winning three sectional medals and one state final medal. In the sectionals, Bauer and Magnier were the winners. Bauer placed third in the parallel bars and fourth on the pommel horse, while Magnier placed fourth in the vault. In the states, it was Bauer again taking a medal, as he placed fourth on the parallel bars. The 1979 starting team consisted of seniors Bauer (all around) and Magnier (pommel horse vaulting); juniors Waddell (high bar, vaulting, parallel bars, rings), Vilardo (unlimited), Cohn (pommel horse, vaulting, high bar), Michetti (rings high bar), and Gevirtz (rings); and sophomores Weintraub (pommel horse), Rifkin (parallel bars), Campetelli (floor ex.).

Columbia’s indoor track team won several championships in their 1979-80 season, including both halves of the Iron Hills Conference, and the boys won the Northern New Jersey title. In the conference meet, Dave Hirsch, Randy Melick, Jamie Smith, and Eugene Kozlowski took first place honors. In the girls’ division, Joetta Clark led the Cougars to a close victory with a record-setting 440-yard run and a strong performance by the Mile Relay team. Seniors Dave Hirsch, Axel Pluys, Mike Gilliam, and Mark Robinson, along with sophomore J.J. Clark, all set school records in the middle and long distances. Andy Sachs set a school record in the long jump and then broke it against stiff competition at West Point. Melick is a state-leading hurdler and sprinter, Smith was constantly among the best in New Jer- sey in the high jump, and Kozlowski headed the field events team. Drew Kohn displayed his ver- satility in the long jump and hurdles. Joetta Clark, the holder of five state indoor records, is one of the premier indoor middle- distance runners in the nation. She topped her in- door season with a 1500-meter victory in the All- Group meet. The 1600-meter relay team, con- sisting of Sharon Marguarete, Laurie Edwards, Kim Jackson, and Joetta, was runner-up in the All- Group meet. Linda Gloshinski is a top-notch two- miler and placed second in the conference meet.

Led by senior co-captains, Andy Wozniak and Dave Masur the team never lost a game by more than a few points except for their first against Morristown. On the average Columbia's oppo- nents never scored more than 59 points against us. Matt Regan led the team in scoring this year with an average of 16.5 points per game. Closely behind him was Andy Wozniak with 15.9 points per game. Regan also led the team in rebounds with 227 for the year, followed by Wozniak with 132 and Bobby Keller with 107. As a team, the boys set a record in foul shooting with 75% from the line. Coach Knecht credits the winning of a lot of the games to this fact. Knecht also stated that he had a dedicated ball club, who had the desire to win. The team came in first in their Christmas Tournament and finished second in the Iron Hills Conference.

Coached by Tom Ruggerio, the team had a strong defense which allowed no team to score more than 50 points against them. Mary Pat Sherwood and Lisa Rott both moved from the forward to the guard position this year, which gave Columbia much needed ball handling and outside shooting, and which led to the defeat of some of the stronger teams. Also a part of this strong defense were forwards Cathy Guthrie and Gail Bryant and center Gail Bryant. The games in which Columbia lost were close, with only a few points making the difference. This was the case in the Essex County finals, where the team lost to East Orange by only five points. This happened again in the second round of the state tournament, where they lost to a strong Plainfield team by two points. The team ended their season in second place in Essex County and in the Iron Hills Con- ference, and in fifteenth place in the state. The season was especially rewarding for Mary Pat Sherwood, as she was the leading scorer, and as she reached the 1000-point mark of her career. Top Row: D. Burdorf, mgr.; M. Guyton, C. Guthrie, C.

In the playoffs, Columbia bowled against Nutley and Mountain High Schools, but to their dismay, they were un- able to advance forward. This year’s team co-captains were Doug Berman and Glenn Thomas. Although the team as a whole had an unsuccessful season, individual recognition can be seen. High games of the season were rolled by Lynn Verderese — 246, Doug Berman — 221, Wendy Biermann — 214, and Edward Schneider — 212. This year’s high series was bowled by Bier- mann at the Regional championships. She rolled a 575, consisting of 214, 171, and 190 games. This series placed her fourth in the region. The four seniors that will be graduating — Berman, Biermann, Schneider, and Thomas — each contributed considerably to the team during their high school careers. ■H Standing: Coach Stager, H.

Led by the defensive efforts of Paul Mackinson, Keith Kirkman, Bob Mendez, Bobby Sharkey and Kevin Murphy, the Columbia Hockey team finished third in the North Western Hockey League. Some crucial games were decided by the acrobatic saves of freshman goaltender Billy Faulkner and at the other end by Bruce Aukamp, who led the team in scoring. Adding to the aggressive front line were Kenny “the Hulk” Volk, Keith “the Kitten” Kirkman, and Doug “Box Car” DeVito. The team in action. Paul Mackinson controlling the puck. D. DeVito, B.

The team once again competed in the Iron Hills Conference and found that the conference was a bit too much to handle. The teams 0-6 conference record shows this. The team found more success out of the conference, where it posted a 6-3 record. The team consisted of freshmen Bob Kuttner and David Barry at 101, Jr. Greg Beatrice at 108, Jr. Pete Duchesneau at 115, Sr. Ken Deane at 122, Jr. Kevin Bianchi at 129, Sr. Fred Knowles at 135, Sr. Clarence Adams at 141, Jr. Marcelo Guimaraes at 148, Sr. Rich Deutsch at 158, Sr. John Alves at 170, Soph. Bert Tribioli at 188 and Jr. Paul Blizzard at Heavyweight. Also con- tributing to the team’s success was Jr. Mark Meehan (148), Sr. Keith Grady (158), Jr. Ed Fairchild (122) and Jr. Glenn Harris (115). This year was the first time in four years the team didn’t run its own Christmas Tournament. Instead the Cougars traveled to Hunterdon Central where they competed against some of the best teams in the state. The team fared pretty well as Kevin Bianchi, Fred Knowles and Rich Deutch all took home first place medals. In the Essex County Tournament, Bianchi and Knowles placed first in their weight classes. Knowles, along with Clarence Adams and Rich Deutsch also placed in the dis- tricts. Adams and Deutsch placed second, while Knowles captured first. And representing Colum- bia in the regionals was Knowles again, with another first place. Bert Tribioli keeping a grip on his opponent. Paul Blizard trying for the takedown Top Row: Coach Hector, C.

In a tangle. 227 This year’s swim team, under the leadership of Coach Dave Yoresh and Captains Mike Schechner and Tom Holleran got off to a shakey start losing three of its first four. After a fantastic season opening win against West Es- sex, the Cougars lost their next three in a row. Things looked bleak, but the Cougs, who never give up, won their last 14 meets in a row. Their final record was 15-3, the best ever by a Colum- bia swim team. Members of the team who were very in- strumental in the victories were: Seniors, Mike Whalen and Doug Backlund, along with Schechner and Holleran; Juniors Tim Edward, Dan Doyle, Mark Vilardo and Bruce Spillane, and Sophomores Jim Sheil and Jil Cosgrove. The team which has achieved its best record ever should continue its winning ways with its many talented underclassmen. Other swimmers who helped out this year in- clude Seniors Gary Potters and Ismael Bashir; Junior Mark Gestring; Sophomore David Melick and Freshmen Brian Sheil, Ken Kurtzweg, Eric Reed and Larry Krasner.

The team placed second in the Iron Hills Conference, and third in the Essex County Tournament. Cap- tains for the team were senior, Bonnie Sheil and junior, Aline Kolankowski. Diane Kol- ankowski, a sophomore, set records in both the backstroke and the individual medley. She also won the backstroke both in the Iron Hills Con- ference. The team looks forward to a successful season next year, although they will miss seniors Ron- nie Vilardo, and Bonnie Sheil, who both swam freestyle. Take your mark. BANG!

Others vivid, strong, brilliant remaining with us forever, never to be forgotten. Each of us has our own unique impressions of Columbia — The first day of school . . . Scoring the winning goal . . . Graduation. Columbia is an experience we’ve all shared, yet, it’s something different to each one of us. For some it is the end of schooling, for others it’s only the beginning, a stepping stone on the path to higher education. But whatever Colum- bia means to you, one thing is for sure; Columbia is friends, relationships, dealing with life — the ups, downs and the in- betweens. It’s memories of both the good and bad. Memories which may twist and change with time, but which will nevertheless remain with us always. 253 1980 MIBBOH Nancy Appel Hillary Jaffe Cover and Divider Designs Tom Palma Debbie Johnson Faculty Advisor Business Editor Donna Shapiro Sara Weiss Copy Editors 254 This year’s yearbook would not have been possible without the help of many people.
