His artistic abilities were relied upon in designing the 1979 end sheet. As June approached and students were looking forward to summer, the yearbook staff was allocating many hours toward designing a cover for the 1980 yearbook. We had an idea for a cover, but we needed that idea put down on paper. Again Cliff handled the challenge with alacrity. Moving his pencil as a magician would his wand, Cliff soon produced a drawing that dipicted the Durfee Tower and the Braga Bridge as shown on this year’s cover. Cliff will most likely be going on to college. Good luck Cliff! We wish you smooth traveling on the road of life. 124 doommx, doozeACC dooze ACC dooznACC The experience of 15 seniors led the Durfee Football Team to a very successful season, highlighted by a second place finish in the Southeast Conference Division I. The team's secondary defense, considered by many to be the best in the area, allowed only 48 points to be scored by the opposition in nine games. The offense was centered around the undeniable talents of senior quarterback, John Silvia. Silvia was the team’s leading scorer with over 40 points. Although the Hilltop griders lost to New Bedford in the annual Thanksgiving Day game that was played on the newly dedicated Mac Aldrich Field, they achieved impressive victo- ries over Somerset, Coyle-Cassidy, Falmouth, and Taunton. Their season record was 4 wins, 2 losses, and 3 ties. Durfee players named to the All-Conference Team selected by area coaches were: John Silvia, Quarterback; John Hart, Defensive End; Pete Lanzisera, Tackle; Brian McDonald, Middle Guard; and Dave Sulli- van, Defensive Back. 126 Coach John SULLIVAN.

Our victorious drive was led by senior captain George (Skip) Darmody and Juniors David Czerwonka and Eric Larrivee, These three were to be the nucleus of a very young squad of runners being coached by a new arrival, Ozug. The following three meets would see Durfee to defeat against three powerful teams: Seekonk, Somerset and Attleboro. Darmody, however, took 2nd, 3rd and 1st place finishes re- spectively in these meets, and Czerwonka and Larrivee were also among the “top ten”. Czerwonka, a veteran of the squad, was placing an impressive 4th or 5th in the line up. A close loss to Case and Diman ended the season, with Darmody leading the squads in both meets, setting two course records. The season record of 2 and 7 (wins-losses) says little for the determination of the team.

Considering such was accomplished after a late start and the elimination of pre-sea- son games, the results of the season were looked upon with satisfaction. Led by seniors Sharon Bernardo, Pat Bonifacio, Ellisa Farias, and Pat Nawrocki, the team served, spiked, and blocked their way to a third place finish in the conference. The season involved many hours of practice. The girls spent many hours practicing, enduring those aching muscles and those black and blue marks with a smile. Such devotion has always been a traditional part of Durfee sports. The season can best be summed up by Coach Proulx’s statement: “ .... the attitudes, dedication, and cooperation of these athletes have made coach- ing a pleasurable, rewarding experience.” 131 Compliments of GAGNON GIFT SHOP BRIDAL REGISTER 1J2 Compliments of FAMILY MEAT OUTLET - 1601 PLEASANT ST 676 1290 mcs’ SWJM ZSAM QJKJC SWJM ZSAM GJKJZS’ SWJM ZSAM In their second year of scholastic com- petition, the B.

Under the direction of Coach Rick Swalm, the Topperettes added the sec- tional title and a respectable seventh place finish in the State meet. Senior members of the team included tri-cap- tains Kerry Hartnett and Lisa Reitzas, Cheryl Landry, Stephanie Azevedo and Sue Kitchen. Sue was, for the third con- secutive year, voted “Swimmer of the Year by the sport departments of the Boston Globe and the Boston Herald American. Sue placed first in all events participated, including the State Compe- tition in the 100 and 200 freestyles. Post season honors also went to tri-captain Sarah Smith and Robin Lewis, juniors; Nancy Stanton, Jane Feitelberg and Beth Costa, sophomores; Debbie Hodgson, Ju- lie Coogan, and Deneen Cloutier, fresh- man.

Coach Karam had a young inexperienced team to match against many teams with experience and height. However, with determination and aggressiveness, each member of the team contributed his talents to score some impressive wins. When Senior Captain Alan (Porky) Berard was injured early in the season, the team continued to excell enthusiastically, captur- ing a 8-12 (win-loss) record. Seniors Jim Gibson, Brian McDonald, Jeffrey Medeiros and Vernon Rutherford gave it all they had, both in shooting and rebounding. Lacking height, they constantly pushed to overcome this handicap. Juniors Jeff Gagnon, Ted Gagliardi, John Stanton, and Freshman John Enos, were a pleasant surprise for Coach Karam. With such players returning next year, that experience which was lacking this season, should be of great value in molding a highly competitive team next season. Good going Toppers for doing for Durfee what has always been done, giving your best. 136 Compliments of TOP OF THE TOWN Passing the ball JIM GIBSON Running.....

Though they were without the performance of veter- an Captain George “Skip” Darmody in the two mile event, due to a previous hip injury, the team’s performance was a pleasant sur- prise. Captain Darmody, however, continu- ously was there to show his support. There were quite a few individuals who performed well for Durfee. wwzen ZKACK WJtfZSK ZKMK Captain Russ Raymond broke the pre- vious school record in the 300 with a time of 34.3 seconds. Senior Carl Bernard went on to break his own school record in the shot putt (42’ 6”) by throwing an impressive 46’ 2”. Senior Scott Gosson broke Carl’s record by throwing the shot 46’ 6” and he now holds the school re- cord. Captain Steven Frank, another great per- former, consistently scored points when they were most needed. He was part of the four man relay team, who when the meet victory was to be determined by this last event, came out strong and won three of the five meets that were decided by this event. Captain Steven Frank, Captain Russ Ray- mond and Senior Scott Gosson also qualified for the state finals. The Toppers were in- deed well represented by the team. Per- forming well for the Topperettes were Cap- tain Robin Lewis and Junior Liz Sharp in the 300, while Junior Sarah Smith and Sopho- more Kathy Kelly were very impressive in the mile and two mile events. Also, Captain Kerry Heffernan was a consistant point scor- er in the 600 yard run. Though the team once again suffered from the ommittance of a spring program, the winter team did much to indicate the potential of track at Durfee.

The only senior member of the team, Henry Oliveira, did an outstanding job in leading the divers as the diving captain. Juniors Jim Hartnett and Joe Costa served as co- captains. Many pool records were set during the team’s second year in competition. The winning combination of Hartnett, Costa, Brendan Malloy and Paul Kitchen led the Toppers on to State Competition. Their 10th place finish was especially impressive for so unexperienced a team. Other members who made sectionals were Mike Montle, Mike Sharpe, Mike Sousa, Justin McCarthy and George Selleck. Louis Pereira, who had broken many records this season combined forces with Hartnett, Costa and Kitchen in representing the team in both competitions. Despite the lack of seniors, the young team displayed a great deal of maturity in their poolside activites. The team should be able to perform well next season, however, the diving experience of senior captain Henry Oliveira will be missed. ssmoK SSfflOR 143 Compliments of ALECS RADIO INC - F.C.C.

The high point of the season was the big win over Somerset on Durfee’s home court. It was not only a big upset, but it was also one of the highest points of Coach Beverly Cambra's career, being her two-hundredth win. The team was led in spirit and enthusiasm by Captains Colleen Hackett and Sharon Bernardo. Hackett was the highest scorer during the season, averaging 13.4 points a game. She ended the season with 227 points, the second highest in the league. Other leading scorers were Senior Nancy Lavoie and Junior and Sophomore members Sue Hallal, Dawn Lima and Nancy Stanton. The season ended with a 10-4 (win-loss) record. This put them in a second place tie with Attle- boro. The team went on to be barely edged out of State Tourna ment play. A SEASON nice O?

Individually, two teammates: co-captain Tony Cordeiro and Tommy McKnight, had unbelievable records. Both remainded undefeated throughout the season and sectional competition. Both Cordeiro and McKnight, along with co-captain Dave Proulx and Sophomore Tim Montie, performed extremely well in sectionals. Tony and Tommy both placed first while Dave and Tim each placed an impressive third. These excellent placings qualified all four wrestlers to compete in State Competition.

To hold ever before me, even in doing the little things, the ultimate purpose toward which f am working. To meet people with laughter on my lips and love In my heart, To be gentle, kind, and courteous through all the hours. To approach the night with weariness that ever woos sleep, and the joy that comes from work well done - this is how 1 desire to waste wisely my days. It is our prayer that you will succeed in adhering to the code. On this, your graduation day, you are advised as to “how shall I find the full meaning of life”. ADMWJSZRA ZJOh1 ADMWSZKA ZJOtf As members of the Class of 1980, you have the distinction of being the very last class to have walked the corridors of the old buildings on Rock Street while having graduated from this new building. In your reunions, especially in the later ones, you will remember that distinction with warmth and pride. When you came here as sophomores in May of 1978, you served as pathfinders in an experience that Durfee students had not undergone in nearly one hundred years — the experience of living in totally new surroundings. You did exceptionally well in extraordinary circumstances. In the years to come, you can look upon your success here with pride. The best traditions of Durfee are safe because of you; the new traditions are vital because of you. Your class leaders have done an outstanding job; so have your scholars and athletes. So have you all. Durfee congratulates you. Durfee thanks you. May you have as much success and pride in all the endeavors that you undertake! PKJMJPAC 3AMSS S. t’AA’OS 164 Leonard G.

Getting up, we dress in leather and Le- vis. We collect our books, give a kiss good-bye and rush to meet our bus or get to our cars. The home environment is soon behind us as we head to another world. We discover, learn and socialize in a fast moving world known as B.M.C. Durfee H.S. of Fall River. The tone sounds the beginning of the home- room rush. The excuses are given, and we get our tardy slips. Homeroom is extended; thus giving us a chance to catch up on homework that should of been done last night. 198 Moving out with the sound of the tone, we rush on to our morning classes. First period, gym. Swimming and gymnastics here we go. Some sneak into flex because they forgot their gym clothes or failed to get an excuse slip from the nurse. A last minute review as we cram for a test, and a substitute makes our day. Lunch time comes quickly, but the lunch lines moves slowly. The 35 cents delectable lunch is always an experience, but the odor of the food compactor is too much. Hey! Get your tray. Taking along a little indigestion with us, we head for the bakery for our dessert.

Security guards, corridor passes, so many stairs, doors, and cement. Could someone direct me to a bathroom that isn't locked. Flex! Oh what a good time. Doesn’t anyone have a library pass? The Campus Store is a world in its own while the courtyard is our world, our place, our pleasure. We escape our academic challenges, our teachers, and even reality by stepping into the courtyard. 200 Compliments of EASTERN TELEVISION SALES SERVICE - 119 Bedford St. ZJM£ JS SZJjCjC MOVING ON and we Acom WKM JZ Our first Homecoming Queen takes her bow. Blood is given and a Christmas tree is decorated. The locker meet- ings between classes are a mixture of smiles and frowns.

SENIORS Marie MC DONALD 207 Compliments NORMANDS So, Main Street The Class of 1980 has left their mark at Durfee H. S. and in the city and not many will be able to forget, and most will always remember. With a staff of compiled an accurate and original representation of our three years together. Illustrated with We are a part of history working people, we have I and narration I presents a pictoral and written record of the history we made. There are many people I sincerely thank for making this book possible: My friends and staff, all of whom have added to its contents, and to “Chuck”, our official photographer from Loring Studios, who took most of our pictures. Our book became a reality because of Josten’s Yearbook Company and its helpful representative, Norval Garnett. Special thanks must go to R. W. Pineault. In his last year as yearbook advisor, he has put all of his energies and talent towards making this the best yearbook ever. We wish him the best of luck in his new post, and leave him with our highest respect. I wish the best to all of my classmates, and look forward to the times when we will all be together again. The hallways of Durfee will always be here, but when next we walk them, it will not be as students. Yet the tradition we will be leaving behind, will always be kept alive by those who will now take our place. KERRY HARTNETT EDITOR
