R.H.K. RECORD BOOK 1986 B.M.C. Durfee High School 360 Elsbree Street, Fall River, Mass. 02720 Volume Seventy Four Once, someone had the confidence and courage to say, If you will it, it is no dream ' Here, at B.M.C. Durfee High School we have all said the same thing to ourselves. Perhaps it was a test we wanted to ace ... Or a position in a club or activity. And maybe even a certain person or teacher we wanted to impress, or be- come closer to. We all said to our- selves, I can do it! I have the ability to succeed. Seniors, we have succeeded. We came to Durfee, not knowing much about the school, high school life, or what the next four years had in store for us. But we soon discovered how exciting high school was, and what avenues of oppor- tunity were open to us. Some of us excelled academi- cally. We also made names for ourselves in athletics or activi- ties, and many of us played large roles in leadership posi- tions and work experience ar- eas. However, we all got in- volved. Throughout our years here, each of us has met at least one special person or group of people whose lives we have be- come directly involved in. As freshmen, we dreamed of belong- ing, growing, and succeeding. And now, we, as graduating seniors, each in our own way, achieved it! Seniors, BE PROUD! We willed it, and it was no dream.

Arlene L Resendes 46 Class of 1986 Tim Jackson All Around The class of 1986 picked Timmy Jackson as the most talented in the senior class. Tim was chosen in the following four categories: Friendly, Athletically Talented, School Spir- ited, and Fashionable. Since this was the case, the yearbook staff decided to mesh all these honors together to.recognize Timmy as the student for all around achievement. Tim has been involved throughout his four years at Dur- fee. The area where most of his participation lies is in sports. Jackson was a player for three years on the basket- ball team, and also has three years of track under his belt. His running events were the 330 meter low hurdles and the 110 meter dash, and his field events include the triple and long jumps. Perhaps where most of us recognize Tim is in football, where he plays running back. Tim has been a major force in football. Being one of the team's leading scorers, he has been a major factor in leading the Toppers to victory. Tim's very active sport involvements perhaps best gives an example of his school spirit. Tim's other activities include varsity club, president of the Student Government during his senior year. Tim, who has enjoyed his four years at Durfee, states, I think I met a lot of nice teachers and students, and gained a lot of friends. Out of all the catorgories he was picked for, most friendly was the most important to him. When asked why, he said, Because I like being around my friends, and I like meeting new people. As for being picked at all, Tim describes how he felt as, Awesome, Proud, Excited, and Surprised! Kathryn Murphy Lucille L. Resendes Maria Gabriela Revoredo Edward J.

Santos fv John Cabral 1968-1985 This past September, our class was saddened by a great loss. John Cabral, one of our classmates, died in a motorcycle accident. John was a sweet and friendly person, and very talented as well. He had many friends, a great personality and a cute smile. John loved mechanics. At Durfee, he spent much of his time in the vocational department fixing lawn mowers, motorcycles, sewing machines and anything else that needed repair. He seemed to have a natural flair for this field. This year has been strange without John. His friends expressed their grief by saying the following special things: Why him? He's such a good guy. 'T know 111 never forget him! John, we, the class of 1986, will never forget you. Your spirit, sweetness, and memory will live in our hearts forever. Ronald Santos 52 Class of 1986 David A. Sarmento 53 The Senior Class of 86 has elected Peter Cordeiro, Ro- byn Latessa, and Christopher Parker as the most academi- cally gifted students in our class. When asked how they felt being elected as this, Chris replied, 'T was surprised but honored.Both Robyn and Peter are honored too.They never really expected to be elected most academically gifted stu- dents but they are thrilled and thank the senior class. Peter is the number one student of the Senior class, which consists of 691 students, Robyn and Chris follow Peter. Peter is a straight A student with an A- that slips in occa- sionally, He was encouraged by his family but mostly his mother to do so well in school.Peter really looks up to his Dad even though they really don't do all the things fathers and sons do together. He says he is like his father. He reads a lot, watches television to relax and does his homework. On the weekends, he stays home with his family and sometimes reads a good book. In school Peter tutors. He says, It helps to review anything I've forgotten, Peter is a member of the Science and Math Clubs, In the math club, when they have their meets, Peter is usually one of the top scorers, but there have been a few times when he's been beaten. Robyn is the number two student in the Senior Class. She was encouraged by both her parents to do well academically, but she did her best when she wasn't being pressured .Ro- byn works at Kerr Mill on Sundays only, because after school she has Cheerleading, Band and Majorette Competi- tion Squad practice. With such a busy schedule, Robyn sometimes finds it difficult to get all of her homework done. Chris Parker, the third person elected most academically gifted is third in the Senior class, Chris works at the YMCA as a lifeguard in the pool area after school and on Saturday mornings. Chris has been encouraged, but not pressured, by his mom. Chris says his success has come from his own self-discipline which he has acquired while training for swimming. Chris spends about two hours a day swimming. He looks up to his swim mates because he has gone through a lot with them, Chris finds he can talk to them very confidentially and knows they will understand. Chris en- joys swimming very much, but is upset that people just give it a shrug of the shoulder, unlike football or basketball, which seems to get the focus of attention. When asked what they plan to do after high school, they all agreed on going on to a college dose to home. Peter has applied to Dartmouth, Boston University, Cornell and Brown. He would prefer to go to Boston University.Robyn and Chris would like to be accepted to Holy Cross, Tufts, Williams, Brown, and the University of Massachusetts.Ro- byn would also like to go to Stonehill, while Chris would like to go to John Hopkins. Both Chris and Robyn would like to attend either Holy Cross or Tufts. Robyn would like to be a pediatrician because she likes science and children and she wants to help and work with people. Chris would like to be a pediatrician or go into sports medicine, mainly because he would like to help peo- ple and associate with them. Peter would like to be a physi- cian or an engineer in order to help people and society, Robyn Latessa Christopher Parker Peter Cordeiro Academically Talented 54 Russ Curran Mimi Larrivee Melissa Branco Athletically Talented Athletics at Durfee High School has often been recog- nized as one of the best programs in the state. Among the many athletes in the Class of 1986 there are those who have strived to reach a higher level of excellence. It is those people who should be recognized as superiors in their area. When asked how he felt about being chosen as one of the most athletically talented people in his class, Russ Curran commented, I'm honored to be chosen, as well as a little surprised. Russ is probably best known for his reputation as an outstanding football player. He has been playing football since he was a freshman and he was made a member of the varsity team during his sophomor year. Along with being chosen as one of the tri-captains for the 1985-1986 football team, Russ has also received three varsity letters for his success in football. Sports is not the only extra curricular activity which Russ is involved in. Along with being an active member of the varsity club, and a reporter for the Durfee Hilltop, he has also found the time to serve on the Senior Prom Committee and participate in Senior Follies. In addition, Russ has been working at White's Restaurant for the past three years and is now involved with working with middle school children for the recreation program on weekends at Durfee. Excellence in athletics has not only been upheld by the boys at Durfee, but the girls as well. The girls have con- stantly shown that they too are serious and just as talented as many of the boys. Being chosen as one of the most athletically talented people in her class is quite an honor for Mimi Larrivee. She responds, 1 enjoy athletics and feel good about represent- ing my school the best I can. Mimi has played both field hockey and softball since her freshman year and has received several letters in recognition of her achievements. She is also a former member of the track team. During the 1985-1986 season Mimi was named co-captain of the field hockey team and provided a constant effort to support her team. The softball team has not yet chosen a captain, but it is very likely Mimi will be one of them. When Mimi isn't practicing or playing, she spends her time with the varsity club and practicing for Senior Follies. Like Russ, Mimi is also employed at Durfee during the weekends working with middle school children for the re- creation program. There is another athlete who has left her mark of excel- lence at Durfee. Missy Branco feels she has her fellow class- mates to thank for choosing her as one of the most athleti- cally talented people at Durfee. Missy stated, I feel privileged, it really means a lot to me having been chosen. Missy has been playing volleyball since her freshman year as well as a member of the gymnastic team since then. During her junior year, she became a cheerleader, a sport she takes just as seriously as any other. She has received four varsity letters for gymnastics, two for volleyball, and two for cheering. As a junior. Missy achieved a special honor. She was made a co-captain of the gymnastic team, a position not to be taken lightly. During her senior year, she was made sole captain of the gymnastic team as well as co-captain of the volleyball team. Other activities which Missy is involved in includes rep- resentative of the senior class, a member of the Varsity and Spanish clubs. Missy is employed at Narragansett School of Gymnastic and also works at Durfee with the recreation program. All three athletes plan on attending college and also hope to continue their athletic activities. Russ hopes to major in sports management and also play football. Mimi is plan- ning on a career in accounting, but will also continue to play both softball and field hockey in college. Missy, like Russ hopes to put her love of sports to work for her when she pursues a career in physical therapy. She is also planning on joining the gymnastic team and trying out for the cheering squad when she goes to college. 55 Humberta Silva Luis Silva Karen A. Silva Class Of 1986 56 Brian A.

Sousa Kathleen M, Souza 58 Class Of 1986 Class Clowns Neil O'Brien Neil O'Brien I like to enlighten the classroom atmosphere to make the learning process more enjoyable. is what Neil O'Brien said when asked why he thought he was chosen Class Clown of the class of 1986. Neil O'Brien was a transfer from Connolly in his sopho- more year. He has been involved in basketball and football during his three years at Durfee High School. Although Neil is humorous in the classroom, he still manages to obtain above average grades. He was also considered to be a key part of the successful 1985 football team. When asked, What will you remember about Durfee High School after you graduate? Neil replied, I will re- member all the fun-filled times and strong friendships I made through the years of high school. Neil feels he has been chosen as class clown because he tries to make learning more enjoyable and challenging, He does this by looking at the funny aspects of the classroom. After graduation, Neil plans on attending college and ma- joring in pre-med. Odesia Cabral Odesia Cabral Odesia Cabral, who was also chosen as class clown by the senior class, said, I have been this way since kinder- garten and plan on going through college the same way: happy and easy-going. Odesia's favorite class is Portuguese which is some- thing she is considering majoring in at college. During her free time, she works, sews, and goes out with her friends. Odesia feels that high school is the best time in her life, and she feels the people at Durfee are very easy to get along with. She is always in a good mood, therefore, she finds that there is never a sad moment in her life. When asked what she will remember about Durfee after graduation, she replied, I wiU remember my En- glish teacher, Mrs. Murphy and the good friends I have made through my four years at B.M.C. Durfee High School. After graduation, Odesia plans to attend college, Kerri Walsh 59 Monique J. Speight Kerry A. Sprague Claudine M. Stanton Valerie A. Stinton Linda J.

When asked how she felt about being voted for in that category, she stated, “I was surprised, but its pretty cool and I'm glad about it ' Its no surprise she was voted most fashionable since she has been modeling professionally since she was twelve, Beth thinks the key to her fashionable looks is not that she has the nicest clothes, but she knows how to mix and match the weird colors she likes to wear. High school has disillusioned Beth, and she hasn't enjoyed it much except for the good friends she has made here. After high school, she plans on moving to New York to pursue a career in modeling and acting. With the money she makes modeling, she plans on attending college. Renee Pelletier Kathy Murphy Carolyn Cashman Spirit Carolyn Cashman and Kathryn Murphy have been chosen as the students who best represent Durfee'$ spirit. Both are very active in the school community and it is this involvement which makes them school- spirited. Carolyn is involved in the performing aspect of the school community. She is president of the Voca- lairs, a member of the Senior Mixed chorus, and has utilized her performing talent in many school plays. She is also a member of the Senior Prom Committee and actively involved in Durfee Pride. Carolyn be- lieves that her involvement in Durfee Pride is the reason she has been chosen as school-spirited. Kathy is also very involved in school, concentrating heavily on the literary aspects. She is news editor of the Durfee Hilltop, and a member of both the Press club and Yearbook staff. Kathy is also a varsity cheer- leader and a member of the National Honor Society. Both Carolyn and Kathy hope to continue their edu- cation after graduation. Carolyn wishes to pursue her interests in music, while Kathy wishes to study com- munications. Elizabeth Jarabek I Susan J. Thiboutot Anthony E. Vaillancourt Sheri Thomas Douglas J. Tremblay Wendy J.

On these next eighteen pages, we will look back on some of the special events of the school year. All of us can remember some moment vividly. It may have been the anxiety we felt on the day of the blood drive, the excite- ment of Homecoming, the carousing of Spirit Week, the pride of the soft- ball team, or the confusion we felt ap- plying to colleges. This last year at Durfee may have flown by, but it was still full of fond memories. On the following pages, we will “reflect on some of the special times that we will never forget. 70 Reflections The Blood Drive was successful. It showed teenagers were willing to give in all sense of the word ' Mr.William Molloy 73 Reflections . . . In a subtle way it raises the morale of the students and I think it worked out well. James Wallace On November 25th through the 27th, students at Durfee showed their school spirit by participating in Spirit Week. Each day of the week has a theme Monday was Hawaiian Day, Tuesday was Hat Day, and Wednes- day was Durfee Day. Some attractions during the week included JAMS, sun- glasses, leis, sombreros, football shirts, and alot of Durfee spirit! The week ended in a pep rally Wednesday afternoon, which the en- tire school attended. Durfee eats whalemeat was a popular slogan! Ev- eryone left psyched for the Thanks- giving Day game. Even though we didn't win Durfee's pride and spirit shone throughout Spirit Week and the game. - 74 75 Reflections . . . Joseph and the Amazing Techni- color Dreamcoat was the most excit- ing musical that I've ever done here. The cast and crew worked especially hard and it resulted in a fine perfor- mance and a professionally run show. Miss Jane Fiore 77 — Reflections . . . The Christmas program was a good concert, one of the better ones in the last few years. We tried to do some things differ- ent with our group, and we were very happy with all the performances. Miss Jane Fiore 78 Reflections . . . The Homecoming Ball, held on No- vember 29,1985, was a huge success. The 51 candidates, their families, friends and other attendees danced, talked and ate while they waited anx- iously to hear who would be the 1986 Homecoming Queen. After all the candidates and their escorts walked down the dance floor, the runner up and winner were announced. Beth Ca- bral, representing the Hilltop, was runner up, and Jodie Megna repre- senting the Cosmetology Club, was elected Homecoming Queen. Award- ed with roses, a $50 bond, and a gold charm, the new queen led the candi- dates in the Grand March. This gala event, held at Lincoln Park Ballroom, is an evening not to be forgotten. 80 81 Reflections . . . 'The parent-teachers night is some- what of a sucess. We wish we had more parents come and meet with teachers and administratives. It would be more beneficial for parents, teach- ers, and students if we had parent - teacher conferences three times a year at the end of the first three terms. Mr. John Kiley 83 J Reflections . . . As a first year player, I am very happy to say I was part of a very suc- cessful and energetic team. Being a part of the Durfee softball team is an experience that I will never forget. Monique Pichette 04 85 Reflections . . . Thirty-two representatives of dif- ferent colleges most of whom are for- mer Durfee graduates shared their views of college life with nearly 400 college bound Durfee juniors and se- niors in January 1985, Colleges represented included Bates,Boston University,Harvard Uni- versity,The University of Pennsyl- vania,Tufts,Yale,Stonehill,North Ad- ams State The University of Rhode Island,and The University of Connecticut. The college fair was conceived and organized by the Student Government and their advisor Mr.William Molloy. Said Molloy, The idea was to give future graduates the chance to learn about college life from the people who attend the colleges, as opposed to the deans trying to sell you a college. 86 ACTIVITIES STUDENT GOVERNMENT Tim Jackson, President; William Molloy, Advisor Mitch Lown, Vice - President; Robyn Latessa, Secretary - Treasurer; Cheryl Parendelis, Reporter 90 STUDENT REPRESENTATIVES 91 Seniors Juniors Sophomores Freshmen William Molloy, Advisor ■ •vv v GERMAN CLUB 92 Shawn Murphy, President; Renee Larrivee, Treasurer; Paula Arago, Secretary Dorothea Furtado, Advisor FRENCH CLUB Michael Monsour, Presidentjennifer Clement, Vice - Presidentjames Wallace, Sec- Phyllis Pytel, Advisor retary - Treasurer 93 SPANISH CLUB 94 Jay Alexander, President; Joe Coughlin, Vice - President Phyllis Frank, Advisor 95 uzanne Tavares, President;Mary Oliveira, Vice - President;Maria Martins, Secretary William Dos Reis, Advisor Treasurer E.C.C T 96 Debra Rego, President; Leslie Raposa, Vice - President; Cathy Vieira, Secretary - Treasurer Roger Dubois, Advisor COMPUTER SCIENCE CLUB Jrenda Piela, President; Gaetano Polselli, Advisor jary Howayeck, .Vice - President; Cathy Carey, Secretary; icki Soares, Treasurer 97 ASTRONOMY CLUB 98 Mike Wrobleski, President; Dennis Haworth, Advisor Bill Bullard, Vice-President; Brian Weissman, Secretary; Brian Joseph, Treasurer COSMETOLOGY CLUB 99 Jennifer Franco, President;Natalie Sousa, Vice - President;Lucy Varao, Secretary;Ida- Lilyann Clement, Advisor lina Farias, Treasurer • jj BUSINESS CLUB Stephanie Lucas, President;Susan Bongiovanni, Vice - President;Marsha Hill, Secre- Daniel O'Connell, Peter Sarantakis, tary;Nancy Tavares, Treasurer Advisors 100 INSTRUCTIONAL MEDIA 101 lane Constant, Advisor SCIENCE CLUB 102 James Wallace, President; Carlton Smith, Vice - President; Debra Rego, Secretary Roger Dubois, Advisor NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY 103 Robyn Latessa, Presidentjames Wallace, Vice - President;Kim Lavoie, Secretary Sandra Curtis, Advisor CAMERA CLUB Shelley McCann, President; James O'Neil, Advisor Doreen Duarte, Vice - President; Karly Plante, Secretary; Liz Cosgrove, Treasurer 104 ORCHESTRA 105 Judith Pinto, Advisor 106 Irene Monte, Advisor VOCALAIRES 107 Irene Monte, Advisor VARSITY CLUB Brian Corey, President;]oanne Medeiros, Vice - President;Robyn Latessa, Secretary; Raymond Medeiros Sr., Advisor Vicki Soares, Treasurer 108 STAGE BAND DRAMA WORKSHOPS 110 Lisa Beth Medeiros, President;SheIley McCann, Vice - Presidentjessica Pacheco, Jane Fiore, Advisor Secretary;Freddie Feliciano, Treasurer SEARCHING BAND Christopher Vital, President; Raymond Silva, Advisor cott Mello, Vice - President; ames Ferreira, Secretary; □lie Machado, Librarian ill COLOR GUARD Elaine Morris, Advisor Rachel Barlow;Head Darlene Piva;Assistant Head HONOR GUARD 113 Beth Jean, Head; Diane Bigos, Assistant Head Elaine Morris, Advisor MAJORETTES 114 Kellie Pearson, Head; Lori Couture, Assistant Head Elaine Morris, Advisor FLAG TWIRLERS Joanne Medeiros, Head; Elaine Morris, Advisor Tracy Cooper, Asst.

Under head coach Jerry Valente, the Topperettes won the Southeastern Mass. Con- ference, and they also quali- fied for the state tournament. Durfee bowed in the semi- finals of the south sectionals to a tough Quincy team. Cap- tain Colleen Karl and Delia Vieira proved to be big hitters for this year's squad. Captain Missy Branco, senior Cheryl Nobrega, and junior Kelly Burke were the setters. Beth Hathaway and Kerry Cusick were big spikers for Durfee. Case handed the Topperettes their only loss during the reg- ular season. It was another successful season for the vol- leyball team this year as usual. v 0 1 1 e y b a 1 1 134 nmmcta 135 136 Once again, the Durfee Cross Country team has brought nothing but honor to our school. With a divisional record of 4-1, they have placed second for the fourth straight year. Their record since our freshman year was an outstanding 34-7. This team is obviously full of power, and this power has enabled them to become the Tri-City Champions. Their strength can be attributed to such great runners as senior Steve Brightman, cap- tains Jim Wilcox and Brian Corey, and senior Norm Dumont. Next year will very likely be a rebuilding year for coach Dave Ozug and his Toppers. This team has been honored by many awards. Steve, Jim, and Brian were voted to the SEMC Division II All-Stars, and Brian also made the New Bedford Standard-Times All Stars. Jim Wilcox also received the Coach's Award for excellence and Steve Brightman was given the most improved runner award. The girls team did an outstanding job as well. Led by captains Sarah Wilcox and Cathy Gillett, the team became Division II champi- ons for the second year in a row. This is likely to happen next year as well since no senior will be departing. Sarah Wilcox was the big story this year. She was the MVP and qualified for All State. She was the first Durfee runner in a state meet in ten years. The girls also came in first in the SEMC Division II meet. Durfee's entries into the SEMC All Stars this year were Sarah Wilcox, Cathy Gillett, Lisa Borges, and Michelle St. Laurent. Sarah also made the New Bedford Standard-Times All Stars. -Brian Weiss man c r o s s C o u 137 The 1985 season saw Durfee's soccer team ranked number 1 in the state, with an astounding record of sixteen wins and one loss. With a quick, high - scoring offense and an astringent, unforgiving defense, the soccer team garnered the respect of teams everywhere. The offense did very well this year, scoring ninety-two goals in seventeen games, while the defense allowed only nine goals to be scored against them in those seventeen games.With such excellent statistics, it is easy to see how their offense and defense were rated the best in the league. This season's soccer team sported a line up of nine seniors. The senior players consisted of co-captains Frank Mateus and Leo Sousa, defensemen Joe Dias, Bobby Medeiros, Paul Pacheco, Duarte Sousa, and midfielders Fitzgerald Davies, Luis Pacheco, and Tony Reis. 1985's senior line-up was riddled with awards, with Frank Mateus, Luis Pacheco, Tony Reis, Duarte Sousa and Leo Sousa receiving the New Bedford Times All-Star and the Herald News All-Star Awards, with Mateus, Pacheco, Reis and Leo Sousa also receiving the South Eastern Massachusetts Confer- ence All-Star award. Luis Pacheco proved his further prowess in the sport by also receiving the Boston Globe and Boston Herald All-Star Awards, as well as being Durfee's top scorer. Coach John Santos, this being his second year as soccer coach, has done well with the team, with an overall record of 24 and 4. In short, this year's Durfee soccer team was a group of fine athletes, who should be able to enjoy success in the future. 138 Under second-year coach Tom Botelho, the Dur- fee football team finished the season with a 5-5 record, a complete turnaround from O-lO in 85. In their opening game against Feehan, the Durfee foot- ball team was handed a 21-0 defeat. Coach Tom Botelho's Hilltoppers evened their record to 1-1 a week later with a convincing 21-12 victory over Taunton in Fall River. Receiver Mitch Lown's two touchdowns paced the Hilltopper win. In the fol- lowing week in Taunton, was upset by a late Coyle- Cassidy rally in an 18-14 loss. The toppers exploded to a 14-0 lead behind tailback Joe Kazen's 96-yard touchdown run.Durfee rebounded from the Coyle defeat with a 19-6 victory over Somerset. Lown's two long touchdown runs keyed the Hilltopper of- fensive attack. Co-captain Joe Carey was successful in each extra point kick. On a Friday night in Falmouth, Durfee quarter- back Chris Rezendes teamed with wide receiver Tim Jackson to provide the Hilltoppers with an exciting 28-21 victory. In game five, the Durfee offense was stopped by Barnstable in a 10-6 loss. Rezendes had the lone touchdown. Durfee had consecutive 28-6 victories over Dart- mouth and Attleboro, respectively. Jackson (two), Kazen and Rezendes scored touchdowns in the win over Dartmouth. Jackson rushed for a total of 114 yards on nine carries against the Indians behind the blocking of Mitch Rogers. In the final two games of the season, the Hilltop- pers came up on the short end of 21-0 and 6-0 losses. 140 The 1985 girls Field Hockey team, despite a marginally sucessful season, displayed a spirit that wouldn't quit. The team had lots of potential, but it was limited in its field experience. Its final record of 5-8-3 was a somewhat disappointing. Team veterans Mimi Larrivee, Deanna Coleman, and Cindy Mello provided a needed boost in the meets against New Bedford and Barnstable. Other supportive members include Beth Jean, Jennifer Hargraves, Katie Sullivan, Francesca Gagliardi, Stacey Wordell, Kristin Borges, and Karen Hanatow. The team is still very young, but holds lots of potential for coming years, despite the loss of their veteran players to graduation. -Kathleen Souza 14? 141 The Durfee girls swim team, under new head coach Bob Mercer and diving coach Dr. Marshall Taitz, enjoyed an exciting and successful season.The team boasted a 6-3 overall record.The Topperettes lost a tough conference meet to arch-rival Seekonk, The girls did achieve a respectable finish in the south sectional meet.Senior captains Nancy Kitchen and Nancy Jane Hargraves,along with Mary Ellen Hart each had an impres- sive season in qualifying for the sectionals. The Topperettes most exceptional perfor- mances came from Kitchen,Hargraves,and junior Cynthia Rodrigues.On the diving board, Durfee was exceptionally strong with Danielle Pavao, Pam Fata, and Shelly Ferreira. Each diver qualified for the south sectional meets. 144 145 146 Boy's Swimming Coming off of a disappointing 1984-85 season of four wins and five lossed, 4-3 in the league, the Durfee swimming team was looking up to the 1985-86 season. However, a number of injuries and illnesses prevented then from getting off to a quick start. Coach Bob Mercer's Hilltoppers dropped three hard-fought meets to Brockton, Weston, and Attleboro, with Brockton and Weston being champs of their respective conferences. The Hilltoppers regrouped in time to defeat Apponequet 94-77 and Taunton 95-64. These victories were made possible by a strong contingent of returning swimmers led by captain Chris Parker. The group consists of se- nior sprinters Scott Dube and Ted Walsh, junior freestylers Bill Sheahan and Mike Howarth, senior breastroke Scott Kleinberger, and senior backstroker Dan Harrington. Adding depth to the team are seniors jeff Fitton, Doug Mello and Jim Gottleib. Captain Jon Dollard and senior Bob Fitton have turned in key performances off the diving board. Parker, Kleinberger, Howarth, Sheahan, Dube, Harrington, and sophmore Jon Estrella qualified for the South Sectionals. As always, Coach Tom Skip Karam's Hilltopper bas- ketball team ventured into another successful season. Durfee roared to an 11-0 start with victories over Hen- driken and New Bedford in the Tip-Off Classic. The Toppers breezed through their next nine games beating the likes of South Kingston, R.I., Rogers, Connolly, Coyle, Dennis-Yarmouth, Bishop Feehan, Somerset, and Barnstable. Leading the way for Durfee were co-captains Mike Smith and Skip Karam, junior guard Tom D'Ambrosio, junior Mitch Lown, freshman Mike Herren, and 6-6 sophomore center Matt Attar. The Toppers' auspicious start came to a stop at 11 games when the Toppers traveled to arch-rival New Bed- ford when they were overcome by a Roger Levis 31 point effort in a 78-55 loss. The Toppers then got back on track to overpower Connolly, 95-51, Coyle, 75-53, and Dennis- Yarmouth, 61-51. Durfee was led in per game scoring by D'Ambrosio (14), Smith (13.8), and Karam (13.2). Durfee had a 20-4 record and were runner-up in the South Sectional finals. 148 150 151 The Durfee high girl's basketball team enjoyed a season of excite- ment, good times and hard work. Coached by Tom Burns, the team had the help of two most talented senior girls. They are Cathy Souza and Nicole Rondeau. The team's respectable past performances were upheld this year with the help of team members. Indeed, the team's effort and hard work took the at- tention away from a perhaps medi- ocre record and gave them a reputa- tion as formidable rivals to any potential opponents. 152 A h 15 After dropping their first three matches on the road, new coach Mike Perreira's Hilltopper wrestling team gained consecutive victories by beating Weymouth North and Weymouth South. The Hilltoppers had tough opponents that they could not overcome on the mats. Turning in excellent perfor- mances were co-captain Matt Franco, 120 pound class, co- captain Brian Lussier, 187 pound class, Mike Rossi, 134 pound class, co-captain Steve Croteau, the South Section- al champ, and Joe Kazen, 169 pound class. Mike McMa- hon, a junior at 157, also helped the Toppers. Going into the final week of the season, Durfee posted a 4-10 record. Skip Karam 154 156 r The boy's track team had a disappointing season with a 2-6 record, but despite the losses they did receive outstanding efforts from some indivisuals. The team was lead by a strong group of seniors who continually scored points for the Hilltoppers. The one two punch of George Belovitch and Paul Gosson in the shot put always seemed to place 1st or 2nd. Brian Corey was the top runner in the mile. Steve Brightman lead the way in the 1000 yards and for Jim Wilcox was a strong 2 miler. Romeo Gallamoza ran the 300 hundred yard dash as well as a strong relay, while speedster Jeff Cardoza had many 1st places in the 50 yard hurdles. The team also looks to have a strong future with a strong core of juniors and sophomores. Leading the juniors are Chris Rezendes, Rex Galla- moza and John Menard also run 50 yard dash, 600 yard run and 1000 yard run respectively. The returning sophomores with potential are Jeff Medeiros (50 yard dash), Dave Cote (50 yard dash), Mitch Rogers (300 yard dash), Jeff Nogueira (600 yard run), and Ed Rego (1 mile). The girl's track team has a bright future despite there 3-5 record. The reason for the optimism is the return of five junior point getters and a sophomore who is strong in three events. The juniors are led by the best 2 miler in the area Sarah Wilcox, who hasn't been beat in a dual meet all year. Her supporting cast of point getters are Wendy Moniz (300 yard dash), Kristen Borges (50 yard dash), Stacy Wordell (600 yard run), and Cathy Gillette (mile). The sophomore who brings with her loads of potential is Kara Palumbo who runs the 50 yard hurdles, 300 yard dash, as well as throwing shot put. Mike Smith 157 158 I The girl's gymnastic team entered the 1985 - 86 season with a number of younger members and a great deal of spirit. Under the inspirational guidance of head coach jane Stack, the girls showed their high over - all potential in the Somerset Jamboree. The Topperettes defeated Fal- mouth twice and also defeated the tough Attleboro Bom- badiers. Their record was 3-7 for the 1985 - 86 season. Captains Cheryl Nobrega and Melissa Branco offered guidance to some of the younger and less experienced players. Tara Flemming and Jennifer Perreira showed their talent while leading the team to many exciting victories. James Wallace 160 7T n Boys hockey had a marginally successful season this year. After losing several key seniors, the team has suffered a little, mainly in the area of defense. They did, indeed, overcome this handicap to play some top style hockey, but it seemed most of the time that the breaks just weren't there for them. The team showed an undying spirit in all of their competitions and the hard work of many players became evident. It was a rare occurrence when neither Bob DaSilva nor Scott Santos played a game without scoring. On defense were guard Brian Farquhar, a very aggressive play- er, and other juniors Scott Hornby and Doug Jarabek. Joe Carey at net has a good record along with several other important players who include Mike Servant, Chris Boyd, Brian Copley, Joe Tavares, Steve Bradbury, and Sergio DaSilva. The team will lose only a few players to graduation this year, so look for the Durfee hockey team to be a dominant force for years to come. Kathleen Souza 161 Another aspect of the sports program that deserves rec- ognition are the athletic trainers. Instructed by Mr. Paul Peloquin, Kady Plante, Andrea Rodrique and Joan Darcy assist Durfee's injured athletes. Their support and dedica- tion is a great asset to the entire sports program. T r a • i n e r s 162 The Topper golfers were looking to re- build in 1985 after posting an impressive 13-5 record in 1984. Head coach Richard Roy, who won his 100th career match in April, posted a career record of 100-36-7. In their first seven matches of the spring sea- son, the Toppers only lost two tough set- backs to Dennis-Yarmouth and to Fal- mouth, the strongest teams in the division. Durfee had two victories over Diman and one over New Bedford. The Toppers tied both Feehan and Attleboro. Co-captains Mike Desmarais and Carl Elias proved well, while brothers Paul and Larry Medeiros were also very strong. Joe Riley, Steve Sulli- van, and Bobby Coleman were also very impressive on the course. Reilly blazed the course with a 7-0 start. Coach Roy noted, On this team, there really aren't any out- standing performers. They are basically a well balanced squad, despite some very good individual performances from time to time ' Skip Karam 163 The 1985 Girls Softball season was the most successful in the school's history. The Topperettes completed the regular season with an impressive 17-3 overall record, 8-2 in the competitive S.M.C Division One. Behind the coaching of Jack Campbell, the Boston Globe Division One softball coach of the year, the team peaked in the playoffs. Avenging a loss to Dartmouth in the last year's sectional finals, the Topperettes beat the Indians, 2-1, in 10 innings in the sectional semi-finals,Durfee then beat Dedham to capture the south sectional crown, before advancing and beating previously undefeated North sec- tional champ Reading, 3-1, behind the strong three-hit pitching of senior Ann Gibbons. Gibbons was selected as the Globe's all-state pitcher, and defensive whiz Cathy Karl was voted as the all-scholastic catcher. Although finally bowing to St.Peter-Marian in the state champion- ship game, 3-0, the winning tradition has carried over to this year's team. Returning players include Cindy Mello, Mimi Larrivee, Arlene Beneveides, Robin Derosiers, De- lia Vieira, Karen Hanatow, Colleen Karl, Monique Pi- chette, and a host of other fine players from the junior varsity squad. Skip Karaw 16 A T e n n i s Of all the spring sports, boys tennis is perhaps the least recognized. De- spite their lack of consistency the boys team has begun to grow. The seniors include Gary Howayeck, Jim Wallace, Tony Vail- lancourt, and Scott Kleinberger all of whom will be playing is key varsity positions during their final year. Coach Robert Tremblay will be re- placed after two years by former coach Tom Medeiros for the spring of 1986 season. Girls Tennis The girls tennis team, coached by Jerry Valente, held a trong 14-3 over- all record. Rachel McDonald was the top player on the team with an indi- vidual record of 10-4. Unfortunately for Valente, there were only three ex- perienced varsity players returning in 1986. They were Melissa Dennis, Kel- ly Camara, and Kim Wong. This year, Valente holds good and young players to fill the void of graduated varsity players. They include Beth Hathaway, Brenda Piela, Lori Correira, Vicki Monte, Chris Valente, Andrea Roder- icks, and Joan Darcy. James Wallace 166 - t 16; 160 r The 1985 Durfee Baseball team enjoyed a very successful season with a 16-6 record. The Toppers won 15 of 20 regular season games and advanced to the South Sectional quarter finals before being eliminated by Boston College High, 4-3, the eventual state runner-up. The Toppers main goal was to beat Falmouth, and they did, 9-0. The playoff clincher came against Somerset, 3-1. The Topper pitching staff finished with a combined ERA of 2.45. Junior ace Norm Dumont, a hard throwing right hander who posted a 6-2 record, had a 1.74 ERA and struck out 72 batters in 64 1 3 innings. Joining Dumont on the mound was John Cippolini and Joe Senra. Junior Mike Smith handled the pitching staff with excellent defense behind the plate. Smith was second on the team with 15 RBIs. Leading the team in hitting was senior Steve Kern. He batted .417, had 7 triples, 4 home runs, and 20 RBIs. Mike Nogueira batted .375; Mark Gagliardi hit .370; Dumont connected for .338; and Tim Plante batted .288. Skip Karam 169 170 Coach Robert Taylor's spring tracksters had an overall record of 7-4 in 1985. MVP Brian Palumbo was exceptional in the high hurdles, and he still holds the school record in the triple jump. Mike Beauchemin, an excellent runner, holds the school's record in the two mile. Strong performances in the hurdles were turned in by juniors Tim Jackson and Jeff Cardoza. Jackson set the school record in the low hurdles. Matt Attar, the only freshman to qualify for the states, finished fifth in the high jump and should hold the school record by his sophomore or junior year. Taylor feels confident that this year's seniors will pace the squad. Chris Rezendes is expected to do well in the 100 meter. Brian Corey should continue his success in the pole vault. Rezendes and Joe Carey should fare well throwing the javelin. Skip Karam 172 COMMUNITY 174 Fall River, Massachusetts 176 In our freshman yearwf 2-83, we saw Margaret HeclAr le to Barney Frank in the Maslacl etts race for a seat in the House o Bep- resentafives. Durfee hostedBtu- dents from Israel in a very pr Bic- tive student exchange program Ve saw a marathon football strike, and the world watched as England Lady Di and Prince Charles setU into their royal marriage. ■ In 1983, Americans cheered on the signs of a much awaited •eco- nomic recovery, while the Middle East trouble was brewing among what would soon be well known terrorist organizations. In 1984, dozens of people were killed when an exceptionally pow- erful car bomb destroyed most of the U.S. embassy in Beirut. In Oc- tober, another car bomb killed 241 American servicemen, marking off that year's worst tragedy. Mean- while, the Australians popped champagne corks for a victory in the America's Cup yachting com- petition and Vanessa Williams of New York became the first black Miss America. The starving in Ethiopia was discovered by most of the world, and Bishop Desmond Tutu, Black anti-apartheid leader is arded the Nobel Peace Prize. |L U ww Our Four Years Here. . . Celtics woi The Kond Durfee High School has provided its students with a unique learning environment. Whether a student's future plans are directed toward col- lege or entering the work force, Durfee academ- ics are geared toward providing the area's youth with a preparation for dealing with later life. The Vocational Department provided early job training and varied career opportunities for all of its students. Honors courses were designed to meet the needs of the college-bound student. Whatever the interest or career, Durfee High School's academics provide the students with a solid base of knowledge to meet the challenges of life that lay ahead. I School Spirit School spirit was an integral part of our four years at Durfee. We went to the sporting events to show our support for the Hilltoppers, Some of us also took active parts in showing our spirit by be- coming cheerleaders or part of the Front Line or marching band.Fun pep rallies and other spirit boosters also kept our spirit alive, such as the exciting Spirit Week held the week before Thanksgiving, 130 YOLK MOTHER fTRflU] I .1 1 HI Also, students showed their Durfee spirit by wearing clothing and jewelry with Dur- fee's insignia. Class rings sporting the Gothic D and Hilltopper motif were also very popular. The Durfee Pride courtyard was the latest addition to our school spirit projects. This amazing artwork reflects the motto screamed by Durfee fans at various events to show their love and support, Durfee Rocks The House ' We know Dur- fee is awesome and our spirit and support of the school will always be strong even after we graduate. 181 Clothes l Fads 162 When one will look ba mostly notice the clothes look mahvelous! was a fa Whether it be the funky, interest in what we wor jeans, mini-skirts, funky ry.

In The Working World The Durfee Work Experience Program, headed by Mrs. Glenda Goldberg, the branch of the Department of Employ- ment Security, directed by Mr. Paul Jasmin, and the Work Study Programs, operated by the Vocational Department, pro- vides valuable services to the students who enter the work force directly after graduation. These programs provide stu- dents with crucial skills needed in applying for jobs, as well as keeping them. For a part of each day, students are allowed to enter the work force and to acquire the hands on experience that they will find important in carving their way into this complicated world. Needy students who would otherwise not be able to attend school are able to divide their time between helping to support themselves and getting a necessary education. 184 it Superb 100 • iow-30 : Gasoline Saving Motor oil IW-30 PART NOl 527-7123 Kendall W-30 PART Htt 527-7128 185 Durfee has provided not only its students but also the community an unparalleled oppor- tur jiiirfbi flTicational and cultural advancement.

FACULTY John R. Correiro Superintendent of Schools SUPERINTENDENT S MESSAGE To the Class of 1986: It's a great privilege for me to join with your families and friends in rejoicing at the successful conclusion of your high school years. And for me, it's a double privilege, as this is the second graduating class since I became Superintendent of Schools in 1980 in which one of my own children has been a member. In truth, your graduation is a transition - a passage if you will - from one important stage of your academic and social development into another. A passage from your adolescent teen years into young adulthood. For many it's on to college, to the military, to the world of work and career exploration. How well the transition works for you depends upon the preparation provided by faculty and staff of the Public Schools, particularly Durfee High School and your ability to draw upon that preparation. I am confident that Durfee High School has served you well. As you join the ranks of Durfee High School Alumni, a proud and distin- guished group, your years at Durfee will become some of your most treasured memories. Think often of those teachers who prodded, guided,and taught you. And think of your parents, guardians, and relatives who supported you, pray- ing for your good fortune and rejoicing in your achievements. So,to John and all of the members of the Class of 1986 - thank you for the memories - God Bless all of you and Good Luck! John R. Correiro Superintendent of Schools Messages PRINCIPAL S MESSAGE To the Class of 1986: You have been described by many of your advisors and teachers as an especially good class. That is a reputation well earned and certainly deserved. You are also a class that in your senior year has necessarily developed a sense of your place in the universe. With the presence of Halley's Comet — a phenomenon witnessed once every seventy-five years — you must inevitably be aware of the beauty and timelessness of the functioning universe and the sense of history that function engenders; certainly in your reunions you will remember yourselves as the Halley's Comet class. You will also remember yourselves as the class which experienced the numbing tragedy of the explod- ing space shuttle, when most of us addressed our thoughts to the apparently senseless loss of seven good people, including the teacher who would have been the first teacher in space. But both of these events certainly taught us all — especially you, a fine, thoughtful, class — a sense of mortality and our place in the universe. I believe that you have learned that lesson well and will have learned it even better as you move through life. James S. Panos Principal James S.

Mr. Moniz, a graduate of Durfee, at- tended Bridgewater State College where he graduated with a bachelor of arts degree. He has been teaching for 15 years. He started his teaching career as a substitute at Case for one year. He then taught at Wiley School for a peri- od of three years. Before his teaching at Durfee High School, he was at the Carroll Annex for one year. Mr. Mo- niz has been teaching chemistry at Durfee for the past eight years. When asked what inspired him to teach, Mr. Moniz stated, Mr. Rich- ards and Mr. Dubois influenced my decision to forward a career in teach- ing. He finds teaching fun and says that it keeps him feeling young. Mr. Moniz also stated, I always give ev- eryone the benefit of the doubt, even if they don't look too promising in the beginning of the year.” When not in school, Mr. Moniz can be found playing basketball, running, or at one of the many athletic events here at Durfee. He is dedicated and supportive of this school. Even though he lives in Somerset, Durfee is his first concern. The seniors' reasons for electing Mr, George Moniz as a favorite teach- er are because he is found to be kind hearted and most importantly because students are his first priority. -Kerri Walsh Favorite Teachers 1986 Teacher Spotlight: Normand Laurianno Having voted one of Durfee's most chist, but rather to be one who sympa- popular teachers by this year's gradu- thizes with the individual needs of his ating class, Mr. Norman Laurianno students. believes his popularity stems from the Having been a former Durfee High fact that he really enjoys his work and School graduate himself, Mr. Laur- this, in turn, makes his classes fun ianno says that he was inspired to be- and interesting.

Available is a planetarium and observatory with a huge telescope to watch the actions of the planets. Durfee's science department offers a wide range of courses to suit students' needs and the astronomy course enhances this fact.

Mr. Martini was just elected as one of the seniors' favorite teachers. When asked what makes him effec- tive, he said, The fact that I can only afford one meal a day. Since he started teaching at Durfee, Mr. Martini has noticed some changes. The last decade of students have remained the same, but the teachers have deteriorated rapidly. Mr. Martini said that he went to Arizona before teaching at Durfee. He has been making students laugh here for seven years. When asked what he would like students to know about him, he noted, I bathe regularly. Some of his hobbies include collect- ing pictures of cats, collecting old Drano labels, and trying on gloves in department stores. Mr. Martini pointed out that Mr. Thomas Skip Karam guided him to a career in education. 1 had Mr. Karam as a teacher when I was ex- tremely young.

After teaching English for seven years, he now teaches social science and economics. The only special method of teach- ing he has is to try to cover the curric- ulum painlessly. If the students en- joy it, they won't feel as though they've done as much work. He believes that when teaching, it is important that the teacher under- stands what the students have on their minds. Being able to change methods to suit their feelings and needs is also a factor. When asked what was his most memorable moment in his teaching career, Mr. Thompson said with a smile, One thing I will never forget is when a girl in one of my classes brought in her three month old baby for me to sit. That showed that she trusted me, and that makes you feel good. Mr. Thompson feels that the stu- dents of Durfee are fine ladies and gentlemen. Treat them with respect and they will treat you with respect, he said. o As for being picked as one of Dur- fee s favorite teachers, Mr. Thompson stated, I'm very flattered ' -Kathryn Murphy 203 William Fusaro guidance counselor Carol Geisser vocational teacher Glenda Goldberg work experience coordinator Manuel Gonsalves social science teacher Cynthia Good English teacher John Gorman t.v. studio instructor Martin Green security Geraldine Gregory science teacher Paul Grillo foreign language teacher Paula Grillo science teacher Robert Hackett business teacher Donald Harding art teacher Eleanor Hartley English teacher Dennis Haworth computer science teacher Robin Hebert aide James Holleran security Theresa Hollingsworth security Wilfred Houle English teacher Denise Jacques vocational teacher Paul Jasmin job matching Deborah Jezak aide Charlene Joaquin teacher Lynda Johnson English teacher Lorraine Joncas vocational teacher Frank Jordan social science teacher Nathalie Kaufman crisis counselor Edward Kelly social science teacher Sheila Kelly-Chase Jobs coordinator Edward Keyes English teacher Catherine Kitchen English teacher 204 Marie Knight social science teacher Stanley Kupiec physical ed. teacher Francis LaCava social studies teacher Edward Lambert vocational teacher Peter Landoch social science teacher Joyce Landry business teacher Juliet Lapointe special ed. teacher Kenneth Lappin vocational teacher Paul Lavigne science teacher Margot Lavoie physical ed. teacher Susan Lavoie physical ed. teacher hiormand Laurianno Eng. soc. sci. teacher Fernand Letendre guidance counselor Laura Leduc aide Dorothy LeComte business teacher Mark Leary science teacher Rosemarie Levesque English teacher Geraldine Lucciola Chapter I teacher Aiieen Mack mathematics teacher John Martini social science teacher Donald Massoud guidance counselor Jeannette Masse English teacher Michael McDonald social science teacher William McMahan social science teacher Jimmy McRoy guidance counselor John Medeiros business teacher Manuel Medeiros security Thomas Medeiros social science teacher James Melvin counselor-in-charge Elizabeth Methe Chapter I teacher 205 Teacher Spotlight: Sandra Curtis Positive reinforcement and imme- a high school level for a while, but diate feedback are what Mrs. Sandra then hopes to move on to a junior Curtis feels are the most important college level — preferably in Florida, techniques in teaching.
