Somehow, things seemed better then. They learned more than you seem to be learning. There was more school spirit. School itself was more inviting and teachers were awesome in their authority and brilliance. one was bussed to school and everyone went home for lunch. Boys dressed better and girls always wore skirts. With cashmere sweaters and brown and white saddle shoes. Everyone went to dances and the big game on Thanksgiving Day. No one had any problems. No one was ever bored. Winters Well, before you get too envious, then were much more severe. No remember that the years have a 2 —STUDENT LIFE way of smoothing out the Dumps. We forget the bad and remember the good. The bungled tests and laborious term papers are forgotten with losing seasons and old flames. In truth, things weren't really much different then. These are the good old days you'll miss ten years from now. when you have kids and are old and pudgy. Only the details change, not the basics Bikes have motors now and T-shirts and jeans replace sweaters and skirts But these are the good old days” you've been told about and which you'll tell about STUDENT LIFE—3 6UN6HINE DRY6 These were carefree days, really. While we worried about what lay ahead after graduation at times, these concerns were cast aside more often than not. We had other things more immediate in mind. Like a game to play this afternoon. A new halftime routine to master. A pep rally. A chance to catch up on the latest gossip during an open period. Winning the team prize at field day Or a class that was more fun than work. It was a time in our lives when we could entertain crazy ideas and not really be faulted for it. We could make mistakes and not be held wholly accountable We could dream impossible dreams and not be called impractical, cling to ideals and not be dismissed as foolish. We fell in love and out again and were not thought to be fickle. We were alternately serious and silly. There would be time enough to be somber 4 —STUDENT LIFE No clouds of gray hung over these kids as problems took a back seat to more pressing matters a game, a routine, the latest news, or a celebration STUDENT LIFE-5 6-STUDENT LIFE DRY6 OF CHALLENGE It wasn't all fun and games. There were challenges in just about anything we did. Like mastering the Pythagorean theorem or Comp I. Like being picked for the Drill Team or the Varsity. Like making a deadline for the yearbook or newspaper. More than that even—just deciding to go out for football or Emerald or Comp II. Growing up wasn't easy. STUDENT LIFE-7 iMttnu 8—STUDENT LIFE DAY6 FOR LEARNING Despite increasingly frequent stories in the press about a need to go 'Back to the Basics in educa- tion. we were learning. In fact, we were told we were more serious in our academic work than our brothers and sisters in the ‘sixties. We often, out of a concern for get- ting a higher grade, opted for the easier course or the easier teacher. And some of us used crib notes on tests or copied someone else's homework. But most of us were more often attentive to our studies than not. We were, for the most, college bound. And the rest of us realized that, even in the work-a-day world, we would have to have postgraduate training. So. even though we were masters at goof- ing off. we did understand that these were also days of learning. And that realization itself was a lesson few of us missed. STUDENT LIFE—9 FUN DflY6 We were young and came equipped with a built-in sense of humor. We seemed to lack an abili- ty to remain serious for very long. We were ruled by a pleasure im- pulse that demanded instant gratification. Maybe because we were the Sesame Street generation, we wanted school to be fun. We wisecracked away the boring hours, found the funny side to most situations, and turned the most dignified of ceremonies into gay in- formality. It was almost as if we. as a group, had decided to make the most of a tiresome but unavoidable business by laughing it up. School was a fun time we'd soon miss. 10—STUDENT LIFE Fun came in different shapes and sizes. It might have been a Christmas party for special children or the inanities of Field Day. clowning around with your friends or flaun- ting a new car. A W STUDENT LIFE—1 1 12 STUDENT LIFE QUIET DfiYd For all we joked and raised cain. there were quiet moments. Times spent in contemplation. Times when friendships ripened under the warm sun of Indian summer. Times when life was. we thought, being unduly harsh. Times when we ask- ed what we were doing here. Silence between friends sometimes spoke more eloquently than words. Sometimes a moment alone, away from the crowd, meant more than all their well-intentioned advice and comfort. We'd withdraw to the mini-park, sit alone in the grandstand, wander off to some far corner of the campus, daydream in class, or retreat to some cubicle in the library to think, dream, doodle, or sulk. It was a tonic. STUDENT LIFE—13 D0Y6 TO LOOK BOCK ON Our days at EBHS were filled with memories—some good, some bad. They had, in their way, helped to shape us and our lives. Years from now we would, out of a clear, blue sky remember something from our days here: The morning announcement over the PA reminding everyone that it was 8:10... the tone of the buzzer signaling the change of classes . . . Mr. Michaud and Moby Dick ... a shower dripping in a locker room . . . walking into class to face a test you'd forgotten . . . phoning Atten- dance to excuse yourself from school. Or picking out a prom gown . . . your first lesson on the driving range . . . getting your license . . . your first legal beer when you'd turned 18... the first illegal one before you were 18... making the varsity team . . . not making the var- sity team . . . play rehearsals . . . concerts . . . Big Macs for lunch . . . the shore in the Spring . . . Great Gorge and Hunter Mountain . . . the late bus . . . pretzels from the school store. And what about wearing a jacket and tie with cutoffs to have your senior picture taken . . . getting your class ring . . . waiting for the year- book . . . term papers . . . phasing out OPEN . . . the arrival of the por- tables . . . the clang of lockers . . . Comp I . . . SATs . . . your first job at the supermarket. We think we forget but we don't. It will come back sometime when you least expect it, to haunt you, to tease you, to make you laugh, even to make you cry. 14—STUDENT LIFE STUDENT LIFE—15 Time would bring with it problems enough, of a magnitude we could now only imagine. We would look back on these as relatively problem-free days. Getting into college would seem a lark compared to getting a job that paid enough to support a family and mortgage. Finding something to do on Saturday night would pale besides what to do about the difficulties parents fall heir to. And puzzling out a difficult math assignment would dwindle to child's play alongside figuring out the complexities of a tax return. These were the good old days. You'll wish you had them back. 16—STUDENT LIFE STUDENT LIFE—17 HmMUij) kfliltifrUl nuuk wky w'wi jjU vLiltiiig oJCumitl You would have to be a graduate to understand how strange it feels coming back to your former school. Everything seems to have shrunk: the halls seem narrower; the kids, smaller; the buildings, less tall. But Homecoming eases reentry. Tradition takes over and familiar things bring back to the grad his old elan. There is the parade of floats, constructed throughout the night and early morning hours in someone's garage. There are the queens and their attendants, smil- ing radiantly despite their ner- vousness. There is the dance after the game. Even the weather in early October stays the same, year after year. The sky is as bright blue on the horizon as it is overhead. Oh. some things are different. East Brunswick lost the game this year to Edison. And the queens rode in convertibles that were a few years old. American car manufacturers are not making convertibles any more. Think what that will do to Homecomings across the country in a few years from now. And there was a Homecoming King. Seniors won the float contest. Jeanne Scherer was queen and Jacque Saul. king. Seniors also were first in the Hall Decorating Contest. But the real winners were the alumni. They had fun. 18—HOMECOMING Seniors hall decorations won first prize Crowds lined the fence for halftime parade of floats in which Juniors placed second behind Seniors award-winner. Reigning royalty included Junior Queen Cathy Albright.

While a large cast blocked out their positions on stage, memorized lines and lyrics, rehearsed their dance routines and their exits and entrances, others hammered together the sets and painted them. Still others collected costumes and props. A show orchestra and chorus went over the music again, and again, and again. As showtime neared, the pieces began to fall together and mesh. There were cast rehearsals, then rehearsals with cast and orchestra. Then came the dress rehearsals and the preview performances for the Senior Citizens. By the time of opening night, these many, many kids had so polished this gem from the Rodgers and Hammerstein collection that it sparkled like a Cartier diamond. It made little difference to the audiences who came to see Carousel that this was a revival of a show now more than 25 years old. The cast gave new vigor to such songs as Mister Snow, If I Loved You, June is Bustin' out All Over, and You'll Never Walk Alone. to name but a few. It was a real nice clambake. CAROUSEL—21 Fmdruj mikii mldn't Aim tot (jflwifcj mnm in urn (vim awiiiww It's becoming a traditioni The second annual Faculty-Senior Cross Country Race was run in December on rare day last winter that would have been mild except for a bracing wind that made it seem colder than it really was. Mr. George Boring, Cross Country coach, ran away from the field after two false starts. He was challenged only by Mr. Peter Kaznoski. Winter Track coach. Kaznoski made a fight of it for the first quarter of the course, but after that, it was a Boring race all the way. He finished in a time of 1 7:32. Senior Tracy MacMillan put a large dent in male egos by coming i ahead of all other studer runners—and not a few facult starters, as well. She was fifth i the field with a time of 20:43. The first four finishers wer teachers: Boring, Kaznosky, M Caseiro. and Alexander Horvatl Teachers also finished in sixth an ninth place: Ray Beier and Jir Balsamello. Aside from MacMillan in fifth, th only other students to run in th Top Ten were Leonard Mazzi seventh; James Lemeieux, eight! and Anthony Ippolito, tenth.

What would the holidays be without music? Co-op student Linda Zuczek teaches a handicapped youngster how to play his xylophone, while Bob Getty and Cathy Gilliam prepare gifts for their Christmas par- ty guests. 24—HOLIDAYS C 'frp a CtotiriflA peaty Iviiigktai WidmjA [jM, Apeclat kldU The twin holidays of Christmas and Chanukah are always warm holidays for they are times of giv- ing. That was especially true this year at the school, for the students in Cooperative Education threw a big party for the special kids. Every Co-op student was a Santa Claus in his own way. They had gifts, and goodies, and games. But more, they brought good cheer. Their spirit spilled over and infected the rest of the student body. Classes were called off at midday of the last day before the holiday vacation. And there was the usual round of classroom parties. There were a variety of activities schedul- ed by Student Union, including games in the gym and movies in the auditorium. There was a recep- tion. too. for returning alumni. The chorus gave its annual concert after the tree-lighting ceremony and. later in the week, carolled through the halls. The big social event was the Christmas Dance, featuring the Indigos—past and present. Did you know that each year former members of the dance band return to play during this dance? To make things just perfect, it snowed on Christmas Eve. We didn't realize at the time that it would keep snowing, and that the ground would be white until March. HOLIDAYS—25 VAyUtt mmtbfi netM mM Wa |jMi (Jioiiity Believing in the dictum that charity begins at home, the Junior Class staged a winter Volleyball Marathon to raise money for their class treasury. The treasury will eventually subsidize the Class of '79's Senior Prom and defray in- dividual costs for that big night out. volleyball to pay to watch a solid weekend of it. Just like you have to be some kind of an addict to volunteer to play the game for a solid weekend. But there were those who came and watched, just as there were those dedicated enough to class to come and play. It was a novel idea and enjoyed moderate success. The class made a few hundred dollars in ad- missions and on spin-off revenues from the sale of refreshments. They spent very little to stage the marathon. But it didn't raise the scads of money that the Senior Variety Show does, for example. While we shudder at the thought of a 48-hour long volleyball contest, we must confess that the game was not long enough in duration to rate in the Guinness Book of World Records. But someone will want to try for it. Next thing you know, someone will want to stage a 200-inning baseball game. Of course, you really have to like 26—VOLLEYBALL MARATHON Charity begins at home. Douglas Rhodes serves, and the junior volleyball marathon is on its way The event was staged to raise funds for class activities. Weary juniors take a break and then resume play. Kim Dickinson had an easier time of it selling candy She probably earned as much for the class VOLLEYBALL MARATHON—27 Costumed seniors greeted arrivals at Chinese Auction. You found the item you wanted and bid on it by dropping a numbered ticket in a can. Advisers Triozzi and Richvalsky wondered if the idea would work. Just look at the money and the smiles—they say it did. You pays your money and you takes a chance It was something like Bingo. An item was sold by drawing a ticket from its can. If you had the other half of the numbered stub, you won the merchandise. 28—CHINESE AUCTION Twd ft), wuuhj, mm Lattmd imwuj at a Ckuttft auction Seniors were also into the fund- raising business. And, because their needs were more immediate than those of the Juniors, they tried more money-making schemes. Beside each article up for auction was a small can into which a bidder would drop a numbered ticket. It was like a 50-50. He bid with one stub and kept a matching one. No less inventive than the Juniors but certainly less physical, the Seniors came up with a Chinese Auction. This took more effort to stage than the volleyball marathon because, to get the auction off the ground, the seniors first had to scramble around town to get peo- ple to donate merchandise that could then be auctioned. They then converted the cafeteria into an indoor Englishtown. While the customers were looking for bargains and dropping their ticket-bids into the cans, the cafeteria looked like Two Guys when they announce a ten-minute special in ladies' wear. Then the auctioneer pulled from the cans the winning tickets. By this time, people had forgotten they had paid for those uncalled tickets. There were squeals of delight. Like at Bingo. The seniors made a pile. CHINESE AUCTION—29 SeniMj solved diburm tM mudikfcitt l (j staging tuifr dtouia By the time February had rolled around, the Senior Class was busy preparing for the annual Variety Show. This is the big fund-raising activity for the graduating class and its financial success determines how much Dad is going to have to pay for the Senior Prom. ribbing the faculty, school rules, and other sacred cows. These days, they have plenty of leeway. With so much attention being paid to students' rights and freedom of ex- pression, no one wants to censor and invite in the American Civil Liberties Union. But the Variety Show has become such an institution here—and probably at every other high school in the nation—that the question of whether it will be a financial success is academic. Of course, it will. It always does. The more pressing question is usually how much the seniors can get away with when it comes to For this year's class, the big problem was a super-abundance of talent. Although tryouts were held at which panels of volunteers screened the acts, it became ap- parent that some really good per- formers would be cut unless the show were to run twelve hours. When the final cast was chosen, there was bound to be resentment. What could be done? 30—VARIETY SHOW Harvard had Tom Leher but East Brunswick had Hal Greenberg, who accom- panied his witty lyrics with dexterity on the keyboard. Philosophizing to music were Hal Greenberg. Nola Beldebreen. Cynthia Millian. Mara Zikmanis. Shalynn Murphy and Darrell Thompson. The show certainly had variety. Shelley Mumford interviewed senior citizens. Richard Pressler sang and played guitar, even a dog got into the cast finale VARIETY SHOW—31 It was a long haul, above, for Tom Barszcz and Chuck Spelling Bonny Finfer seemed to have more fun as director of the show. Backstage help was provided by these folk, reading clockwise at right: Tina Tromp. Mark Silverstein; Diane Reardon; Dave Price; and Jaimee Marks and Mark Silvers- tein. It wouldn't be a variety show if someone didn't wear a skirt who should be wearing pants. Tim South. Randy Castellano. Bill Skold and Darrell Thompson paddle their way upstream. Jacque S£ul and Dave Jewett clowned along as masters-of- ceremony. 32 —SENIOR VARIETIES Swuma ployed tft 8R0 c touudU The solution to the dilemma was simple enough: run a second show featuring those who did not make the cast of the first one. Or at least it seemed like a simple solution. Un- fortunately someone called the se- cond group also rans.” There were more hurt feelings that were assuaged in time. That's show biz. The show played to SRO houses all three nights of its run. It made lots of money and no one took offense at the jokes, not even the cheerleaders who were satirized by a bunch of guys in drag. The class advisers were happy to have this project done with. The major thing that remained was the prom. And speaking of proms. Dad was probably the happiest of all. Considering the take on the show, he would not have to dig too deep for the prom. SENIOR VARIETIES—33 Romance and murder provided laughs in Drama Club's Arsenic and Old Lace. David Jewett and Kathy Maher handled the romance, while Holly Lelling and Liz Pien- ciak supplied the corpses. Mr Elliot Taubenslag directed The course of true love never runs smooth, but David Jewett never expected to be bound and gagged His assailants were Joe Zytinski and Mark Silverstein. 34—ARSENIC AND OLD LACE Auiunk and Old Lace immed audience wi bite cold itiglib Drama Club followed up its triumphant production of Carousel with a change of pace in its mid-winter staging of Arsenic and Old Lace, a comedy-mystery Theatre-goers who bundled up to come to a drafty auditorium were warmed by the charm of two old ladies who served their gentlemen callers tea laced with poison and then disposed of the remains in locks of the Panama Canal, which their psychotic brother had dug in the cellar. Complicating the plot that was punctuated by shouts from the demented brother as he charged San Juan Hill was a tangled love affair involving a favorite nephew and his fiance, and a murder story involving some bungling killers. As on Broadway, this non-music production did not draw audiences of the size a musical would. The success of the show could not be measured by numbers But it could be gauged by the intensity of the applause that greeted the per- formers. Playing the sweet but homicidal old sisters were Holly Lelling and Liz Pienciak. Their brother who thought he was Teddy Roosevelt was played by Tim South. The romantic leads were David Jewett and Kathy Maher. Others in the cast included Joe Zytinski, Mark Silverstein, Bob Ruf- fle, Robin Williscroft, Dana Spencer. Barbara Beecher, and Paul Romero. ARSENIC AND OLD LACE—35 Sto lucM (Hit oA m Lett mi tke RftefelCA in ti M [jiwi ttoi toip t litoli They had skied there before and had so enjoyed it that the Ski Club again booked a Spring recess ski trip to Park City, Utah via United Airlines charter. But it appeared that their Rocky Mountain high would turn into a bummer. Because of freaky weather out west, there was little if any snow in the mountains around Park City. Everyone who had made reser- vations did the skier's snow dance and, sure enough, it snowed in time to save the trip. So it was that a jet full of East Brunswick ski buffs flew west to spend Easter on the slopes. Utah was all they had remembered or thought it would be. When they weren't skiing, they were sight-seeing. Salt Lake City wasn't too far away from Park City, so that became the mecca for the skiers-turned-tourists. They visited the Mormon Tabernacle and were lucky enough—some of them—to catch the famed Mormon Taber- nacle Choir in rehearsal. But the big thing was the skiing. Conditions were good—excellent, by East Coast standards. Beginners who, at first, may have been in- timidated by the thought of skiing the Rockies, soon found the gentler, lower slopes. They even tried the longer runs. All came back alive. 36—UTAH SKI TRIP A lato snowfall saved Ski Club's trip to Utah Like Scott Gatarz. opposite, they spent Easter recess skiing and visiting Salt Lake City's Tabernacle Fresh snow covered the Rockies in time for Ski Club's arrival A little practice and Dan Zeck was ready for all Utah had to offer.

Field Day. Sponsored by the Student Union, it works this way: any class can organize a team and enter. Class means any group of students who meet regularly with any teacher for instruction. Classes are then suspended at noon on Field Day and each team participates in a series of about twelve different events: a sack race, a three-legged race, sprint races, volleyball, tug-of-war, pie-eating contest, frisbee, apple-passing con- tests, bobbing for apples, and other forms of mayhem, designed to test not only one's athletic prowess but one's ability to survive. Points are awarded and the team that wins is rewarded with a pizza party. If there's enough money in the kitty over at Student Union, runners-up are treated to ice cream. It's all in the spirit of fun and it doesn't matter really who wins or loses, except for the moment. This year's winners, for the record, were Mr. Spadafino's group. Some kids, of course, cut out. They were the losers. FIELD DAY—39 I(l iw didn't make it It ate 4Wtt out Lwt it East Brunswick High has always been a school that likes music and excels in it. Consistently over the years, it has placed more All-State musicians than other high schools. It has maintained a full-range of musical organizations—band, str- ing orchestra, dance band, chorus and a host of smaller choral groups, which have performed before ap- preciative — if not always packed—houses. This year was no different except in one respect: it seemed that we couldn't get enough music from our own groups and so we imported others to fill the gap. We had local rock groups in for concerts, we booked the Air Force rock group, and even had the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra perform at a pair of student assemblies. Different kinds of music appeals to different kinds of people, of course. Some un-symphonic types attend- ed the first of two performances by the New Jersey Symphony and their antics caused a momentary embarassment for the school and provoked a diplomatic but stern reprimand from the conductor. One does not throw pennies at the per- forming artists. Most students realize that and respond to the wide range of musical experience provid- ed for their pleasure and education. 40—CONCERTS The gamut of musical experience ran from mixed chorus to barbershop, from symphonic music to the big band sound If you liked music, you had your choice of rock, popular ballads, choral music. Sousa marches, or string quartets. CONCERTS—41 Not since the World's Feir in 1964 have the Sophomores organized a class trip for themselves But this year, they had themselves a Great Adventure Less than an hour by bus from the school, the rides and the shows—especially the high divers—made the books and the lessons seem a million miles away 42 —GREAT ADVENTURE SfrpbMMCA MhM yea u Mid until kip k GmiAdvwta Springtime is the season for class trips. The weather is warm, the kids are restless, and classes are becoming a real drag. You need something to break up the routine between the vacation at Easter and the closing of school in late June. The size of the classes precludes a jaunt to Washington. But day trips to nearby resort areas have always been popular here—places like Hershey Park. Culvermere, or the Poconos. Time was when seniors could af- ford both a class trip and a prom, but rising costs forced them to make a choice and the prom won out. Juniors, too, had a trip and an in- the-gym prom. But they dropped the prom back in the 1 960's as be- ing irrelevent.'' And this year they decided to save their money and abandoned the trip, too. Sophomores, however, who usual- ly aren't rich enough as a class to underwrite a trip, came up this year with some bucks and had an outing to Great Adventure. New Jersey's answer to Disneyland. For the record, they also had a semi-formal dance as well. Shades of 1960! Their day was appropriately sunny and warm; the amusement park rides appropriately scary; the shows, entertaining; and the chaperones, agreeably preoc- cupied. GREAT ADVENTURE—43 Expwuivefcj Agant, Swtiiwt P iam MI ndd oa tk jaciat event oj ym Much has changed here on the hill since the first class was graduated sixteen years ago. But the Senior Prom lives on. a splendid anachronism. About the only change made in that affair has been the elimination a few years back of the floor show, a reluctant conces- sion to inflation. But the seniors still feast on a prime rib dinner. And they still dance to a big band sound reminiscent of the 1940's. They still spend a half- year's allowance for formal gowns, matching shoes and accessories, or for a tux rental, flowers, and gas for Dad's big car. They still go for cor- sages, prom pictures, color- coordinated boutonairres. And they still make the post-prom pilgrim- mage to Point Pleasant. They have traded off the habit of having the prom as far away from East Brunswick as they could get without leaving the state for the privilege of driving their cars to the dance. Prom-goers used to have to take chartered buses until the 1 8- year-old-majority law made that rule a relic. But seniors still imbibe nothing stronger than Nehi Orange. We don't know why this Now Generation follows so meticulously a tradition begun sixteen years ago. But they do. and they seem to en- joy doing it. 44—SENIOR PROM Lavish gowns, ruffled shirts, and springtime corsages meant it was prom time again—a tradition maintained without change for sixteen years. Festive seniors and their guests dined on prime ribs, danced the latest steps, and then continued the party at the shore—another unchanged tradition. SENIOR PROM—45 Honored seniors included (this page) Robert Jones. Joseph Baldesweiler. Robert Curcio. Tony LaFazia. John Weber. Gerald Fishinger. Kevin Dembinski. Michael Belcheff. Teresa Luckhowec.

SENIOR AWARDS—47 G uukatum teleiM Ihj ABC oa example Wltiaa Our graduation story really began back in January with a feature on ABC-TV's Eyewitness News that maintained that graduation ex- ercises in the late 1970's had lost their traditional pomp and cir- cumstance. Not so, wrote Mr. Joseph Latoracca, EBHS's graduation coordinator in a letter to ABC. He argued therein that commence- ment exercises here were still done in a traditional way. The upshot was that ABC televised this year's exercises for a followup Eyewitness News report that showed television viewers on the East Coast that one school hadn't abandoned tradition. But, to the practiced eye, there were some slight departures from the usual ritual. For one, a parent hired a plane to circle the stadium towing a congratulatory banner. For another, recognition was given 68 graduates who earned honors by graduating with a 3.7 5 average or better. Also honored were nine valedic- torians who graduated with perfect 4.0 averages — Arthur Geller, Marcee Klein. Teresa Luckhowec, David Menninger. Sharon Solomon, Patricia Vigneault, Susan Wald, Steven Waldman and David Zeidwerg. 48—GRADUATION THE END OF AN ERA Seven who resigned coaching posts had cumulative record of 387 wins, 143 losses for a .730 average that will be hard to match In the sixteen years East Brunswick High has competed in inter-scholastic sports, there has been remarkably little turnover on the coaching staff. Only one team—wrestling—has had more than three coaches, and that only because of the tragic deaths, a year apart, of Jay Doyle and Jim Rishar. Soccer, gymnastics, tennis, golf, basketball, winter and spring track, and swimming have each had but one coach. This stability has been a source of pride at the school. At the least, it has shown that the coaches are a happy lot. At best, it has been a major factor behind the success of the Bears, one unmatched in the county. East Brunswick dominated both the old Greater Jersey Group IV Conference and its successor, the Middlesex County Athletic Conference. It was inevitable that some changes in coaching assignments could be expected in the next few years as present coaches either retired or resigned. What was not to be expected was that so many coaches would pack it in at about the same time. Indeed, so unusual was the resignation of seven head coaches and four assistants that many observers jumped to the con- clusion that there was some hanky- pank going on. a notion unfor- tunately reinforced by clumsy handling of one case and attendant bad press. Just about everyone agreed on one thing: it was the end of an era. The seven coaches involved had an aggregate record of 387 wins. 143 losses and 7 ties for a win average of .730. That kind of record would be hard to match. First to resign was Carl Faeth. head coach for Wrestling. He had previously been a jayvee wrestling coach and high school trainer. In his three seasons as head coach, he had guided his teams to an overall record of 14-25-1. Bright spot of his tenure came in '74 when, ex- pecting no better than a fourth place in the district finals, his team upset favored Raritan. South Brunswick and Cedar Ridge to win the title. Faeth is also trainer for the United State Weightlifting Team, a job even more demanding of his time and requiring a good deal of travel. It got to be too much and. after considering priorities, he decided to step down from his wrestling responsibilities and let his assistant coach. Paul Quirk,, move up. Next to announce his resignation was Baseball coach Leon Florek. Florek is also head coach of Soccer. He had piloted his baseball team to a 31-38-2 mark since 1974. Fora coach whose soccer team has not had a losing season in sixteen years, his baseball experience must have been a frustration. If he felt that frustration, he did not mention it when he resigned. Two major coaching assignments took too much of his time. He would drop baseball to spend more time with his family. At the end of the winter sports season. Athletic Director Charles King announced two more resignations, those of head Football coach Mel Caseiro and of head Basketball coach John Emery. Unlike the previous ones, these resignations caused surprise and controversy. And probably because football and basketball get more publicity than other sports, these resignations made headlines. Caseiro, head coach since the '68 season, indicated—when inter- viewed by local sports writers—that he had been asked to resign. Subsequent stories alleged that pressure to sack Caseiro for not winning more football games had been brought to bear on King and Dr. Larry Ashley, principal, by parents and by a group associated with the Golden Bears, a Pop Warner-type team affiliated with a local church. Caseiro had a 48-29-4 record over his nine years, seven of which were winning ones. During those seven, his worst year was 5-3-1. His best was in '72 when his team went 7- 1-1 and captured the MCAC cham- pionship. the Central Jersey Group IV title, and the Rutgers Cup. emblematic of football supremacy in the three-county area of Middlesex, Somerset and Mon- mouth counties. But in '75. Caseiro's team slid to 4- 5, its second losing season in history. And in '76, it sank even lower to 2-6-1. King. Dr. Ashley, and the Golden Bears denied the press allegations. But neither King nor Dr Ashley were able to offer much in the way of an explanation of their action to obtain Caseiro's resignation, han- dicapped by a Board of Education policy that banned public discus- sion of personnel matters. They could say nice things about him, or nothing at all. Fans called it a coverup. The press likened Caseiro to Julius Caesar, stabbed in the back. o 52—THE END OF AN ERA Then, while emotions were flaring, the press broke yet another story, this one of an attempt by someone to sabotage Caseiro's varsity even before the '76 season had begun. A handwritten scouting report deal- ing with the team's strengths and weaknesses had been duplicated and mailed to seven of the nine op- posing coaches: Art Barnes of Cedar Ridge. Ron Osborne of Kennedy. Vince Capraro of Edison. Frank Capraro of Woodbridge. Warren Wolf of Brick. Joe Gutkowski of Stevens, and Hank Krupinski of Sayreville. Barnes and Osborne mailed the reports back to Caseiro unread. The other coaches destroyed them. Since open scouting is permitted in the conference, it is doubtful the reports undermined the team to any extent. But the incident did fuel the fire by reinforcing the accusa- tion that Caseiro was being treated unfairly. Emerald later learned that the reports had been prepared and mailed by the father of a senior on Caseiro's team who had been bumped from a starting position by a junior. The boy had boasted that his father had ''gotten back at” Caseiro. Finally, Dr. Ashley appeared before a packed meeting of the high school Booster Club. He disavow- ed again the allegation that he had been pressured into asking for Caseiro's resignation. In response to a recommendation from the Athletic Director, he said. I fired him. But he would not discuss the reasons why. again citing the Board of Education policy that bars public discussion of personnel matters. That seemed to end it. By spring, a new head coach had been hired, George Tardiff, who would lead the Bears to a 5-2-2 record in the fall. Caseiro would stay on as a teacher but was soon named to be an assistant coach tin- der Frank Burns, head football coach at Rutgers. The clamor over Caseiro took some attention away from John Emery, who resigned as the school's first and only varsity basketball coach. In his sixteen years, he compiled a 175-163 record. His best teams were in '62 when he won 1-5 and lost 2. and in '73 when he won 1 7 and lost 4 en route to a Raritan Valley championship and an MCAC crown. That his resignation was an- nounced with Caseiro's suggested to some that he. too, was under the gun for not winning. Emery's last three seasons had been losing ones. But he insisted that he resigned in midseason for personal reasons, and had asked Mr. King not to announce his stepping down until after his team had completed its season. Emery would stay on as an assis- tant football coach and as Chair- man of Health and Physical Educa- tion. In what many people saw as a sympathy move for Caseiro and a kind of protest, two more coaches announced their resigna- tions— Pete Kaznosky from Win- ter Track and George Boring, Cross Country. Each cited personal considerations as the reason for his quitting. Kaznosky, who had been the school's first and only winter track coach, is working for his master's degree and attending night classes. His coaching duties would have conflicted with his academic work. It was announced later, moreover, that Kaznosky would replace Bob Scott as coach of the Girls Track team, taking over in the spring of '78. His resignation thus was more in the nature of a reassignment. Boring, though often critical of a sports philosophy that emphasizes winning above all else, said that his coaching had not been as personal- ly rewarding as he had thought it would be. A distance runner and frequent participant in marathons. Boring found more satisfaction -in running himself than in teaching others to run. Kaznosky had an overall record of 75-25 in his eleven years as Winter Track coach. His teams in '72. '76 and '77 went undefeated and his '72 and '77 teams were MCAC champions. Boring was Cross Country coach for two seasons, and posted a cumulative record of 26-6. His '75 team missed having a perfect season by one meet. The seventh head coach to step down was Bob Scott. He had coached Girls Track for two seasons and had an 1 8-7 mark. He would not return to the high school for the '77-7Q school year. The four assistant coaches to resign were all from Caseiro's staff: George Pinfield. Dave Stout. Bill Pellagrino and Sandy Horvath. Their resignations were, to a greater extent than not. pro forma to allow the new head football coach the opportunity to select his own staff. For all the excitement they stirred up, the resignations seemed to be coincidental in timing. Only in the case of Caseiro can we find anything to question. The policy of the Board of Education, intended to protect individuals from embarrass- ment. in this case caused it by in- hibiting frank discussion of the matter. Considering the restraints, the affair became too public, affor- ding others to use it for their own ends and casting suspicion over the other resignations that came about the same time. One thing is clear: Caseiro's resignation — or dismis- sal— reflected neither on his character nor on his competence as a coach. If it had. he would not have been extended the courtesy of sub- mitting his own resignation; he would have been dismissed out- right. And he would not now be on the coaching staff of a college team that is ranked 1 7th nationally. The Caseiro affair had to be a dis- agreement over methods and ob- jectives. A displeasure with how things were going resulted in a decision to find someone new who might turn things around. Out of that came a drama that had no villains. But it had no heroes either. THE END OF AN ERA—53 Soccer, Field Hockey .Gymno t Vaulted Bears into l t Place in Race lor Jay Doyle Trophy From the time the high school opened its doors until his early death in 1 972 at the age of 42, Jay Doyle had been Athletic Director and wrestling coach. In his memory, the Middlesex County Athletic Conference established a trophy that would be awarded to a member school annually as a sym- bol of supremacy in conference athletics. It wasn't until 1976 that East Brunswick High won the trophy. Keeping it has become a point of honor. Despite its second losing football season in a row, East Brunswick took an early lead in defense of the trophy at the end of the fall season on the strength of MCAC cham- pionships in soccer, field hockey and girls gymnastics. Boys gym- nastics regained the State Cham- pionship after a three year hiatus — before that, it had won seven state titles in a row — but its efforts did not count towards the Jay Doyle Trophy, boys gymnastics not being a conference sport. FOOTBALL Coach Mel Caseiro's varsity eleven suffered through its second losing season in a row and only the third such in its history with a 2-6-1 record. Unlike last year when the losses were squeakers that just as easily could have been wins, this year's losses were decisive. The problem was an inexperienced starting team that was probably the smallest in size and weight ever to suit up for the Green and White. In a word, the horses weren't there. The succession of two- and three- touchdown defeats had to be demoralizing for everyone con- nected with the team, so one marvels that they got their act together to drub Sayreville. 25-6. in the closing game of the season. Pete Gudzak was named best back. In another year, he would develop into everyone's All-County and be a potential All-Stater. But not this year. Other special awards went to Alex Todoroff and Dave Sarnak, best linemen, and to Jim Weis, most improved player. FIELD HOCKEY One of the three fall teams to win an MCAC championship. Field Hockey won 1 4 of its 18 games, losing 2 and tieing 2. Coach Gail Petricek's varsity was sparked byTrish Bornheimer, Ron- nie Gudewicz and Sharon Heitz- man. who were named Best Offen- sive Player, Best Defensive Player, and Most Improved Player respec- tively. Bornheimer was named to the All- State team. She set two school records for most goals scored in a season (39 in 1976) and most goals scored in a career (79 over a three-season span). SOCCER Leon Florek's Soccer team won 1 5. lost 3 and tied 1. In so doing, it annexed the MCAC championship and again qualified for the state tournament. And again, it almost made it. losing to the team that took the title — Hamilton West. Sadyck Delgado was named as the most improved player on the squad, and Ed Ramirez won the most valuable player award. GIRLS GYMNASTICS They did it again! Coach Eileen Wans' girls racked up their third consecutive undefeated season and their third consecutive con- ference championship. It was also Coach Wans' third season as coach, which means that she has never seen her squad beaten. She has a career record of 34-0 and a championship mark of 3-0! Terri Roedelbronn was named Best All Around from this year's crop of winners, and Bernadette Cybulski was tabbed Most Outstanding Gymnast. Jill Ryer and Marlene Henry shared the Coaches Award. BOYS GYMNASTICS For seven straight years, they were the untouchables in the State. No one could beat them nor take away their State championships. Then they fell on three lean years. But Coach Don Wieder has brought them back. And Boys Gymnastics have regained the State title, even though they did it by a razor-thin .15 of a point. Against arch rival Henry Hudson Regional and Willingboro in the State finals, the Bears were so closely matched that they were not sure at the end if they had won or lost. The final tally: EBHS 1 19.40. Henry Hudson. 119.25! Willingboro lagged behind with 1 1 5.70. Brian Baley. a sophomore, was named Best All Around. Chris Koch, a junior, won the award for Most Outstanding Gymnast. The only senior on the team. Keith 54—FALL SPORTS REVIEW Carrasso. won a $100 scholarship award. With only one man graduating from a championship team, Wieder is happier than a bee in clover. GIRLS TENNIS In its first year as a fall sport — boys use the courts in the spring — Girls Tennis won 1 2 and lost 1 1 of their meets, for a tie for seventh place in the conference. Susan Wald won the team's award as the most improved player. This was the final season as coach for Donalyn Brophy. She would not be teaching next year. In her six years with the team, she has had just one losing season en route to a 57-38 record, that being a 3-6 mark in '72. Her best year was '74 — 14 and 7. CROSS COUNTRY Cross Country posted a 1 0-4 mark, good for a fourth place finish in the conference. George Boring's men also ran fourth in the Central Jersey Group IV Sectionals, just shy of qualifying for the Division Finals. Special awards went to Harold Zierdt. oatstanding sophomore; Mike Barkann, outstanding junior and most improved runner; Bill Chinchar. most outstanding, and Doug Toochuck, coaches award. This was the first year there were girls on the Cross Country team. Colleen Casey was named most outstanding girl, and Tracy MacMillan won the coaches award. The other girls who helped make sports history here by breaking the all-male barrier were Susan Halasz, Jean Mazza. Donna Pearl and Bar- bara Pape. So it went. When officials tallied the points at the end of the fall season. East Brunswick was ahead of the other ten conference schools in the race for the Jay Doyle Trophy with 40.5 points. Carteret was se- cond with 38. and Stevens was third, with 36.5. Eleven points are awarded to a school whose team wins first place in a sport in which all eleven schools compete. If only nine schools field teams in a particular sport, then only nine points are awarded for first place.

For all they erred, the team was learning and provided moments of good football, as seen on these pages. Moving clockwise from top left, Steve Stiteler (11) fades for a pass in a second-and-long yardage situation against Edison, receiving good protection from Dave Sarnak (65), Pete Gudzak (20) and Paul Losiewicz (54). Bill Vargo (21) swept right end for long yardage before being caught by a Kennedy defender. Stiteler looked for his receiver while Jim Weis (50), Tom Cole (63) and Gudzak gave him time. Sarnak, Cole and Don Wehrenberg (40) converged to stop Brick offense. It wasn't all good. Stiteler was sacked by the Edison man who eluded Cole. A Brick tackle jarred the ball loose from Cole and Tom Toto (48), despite a good se- cond effort, got nowhere as he attempted to go over the top for a first down against Edison. The mood of the season was reflected in the faces of Coach Caseiro, Captain Sarnak. and Coach Stout. FOOTBALL—57 FOOTBALL Clockwise around the page. Steve Stiteler's pass to Bill Boldizer (89) was good near Edison's 30 but converg- ing defenders ended the play there. Tom Koletis' (82) punt was good from his own 20. despite fine defensive effort by Kennedy to block. Jeff Chenoweth (23) pulled in the ball and went over for the score after Mike Weis (25) had taken out Sayreville's 88. Tom Cole (63) and Don Wehrenberg (40) both missed Kennedy ball carrier. Tom Toto (48). looking for a hole against Sayreville. missed a big one in Number 47's rear. 58—FOOTBALL VARSITY. FRONT: Mgr. Maggie Mahoney. Pete Gudzak. Steve Stiteler. John Melnick. Dave Sarnak.

No sooner had it completed its season last spring than it began another, this time in the fall. The sport was moved to the autumn calendar so that it would not also have to compete for time on the courts with the boys. There just weren't enough courts in the area to accomodate boys and girls teams from the several area high schools for both practice sessions and scheduled meets. GIRLS TENNIS—75 Winter Track Swept to Title as Ea t Brun wick Strengthened Grip on Conference Crown Only Winter Track among the teams that compete during the winter season was able to capture a conference championship. But by competing in all the sports in which a conference title is at stake and by finishing no worse than sixth among the eleven teams battling it out in any of the other sports. East Brunswick was not only able to maintain its grip on first place in the race for the Jay Doyle Trophy, but to move even farther out in front. To the casual observer who is tun- ed to only the so-called major sports, this news might come as a surprise. Disheartened by football, his hopes dashed by basketball's flirtation with the .500 mark, he was apt to feel that EBHS was on the decline. The truth was just the opposite. Its balanced program for boys and girls was producing results that made other schools chew their nails in envy. One recalls the benediction given at one MCAC awards banquet: And God. please make East Brunswick build another high school. WINTER TRACK Although a good many of its meets were cancelled because of the brutal weather this winter. Winter Track still ran eight meets. It might be more accurate to say ran away with eight meets. They were un- defeated for the third time in their eleven year history and were never seriously in danger of losing a meet Coach Peter Kaznosky's trackmen began their season by winning their pre-Christmas invitational tourna- ment. And they romped through their abbreviated schedule, com- pletely outclassing all challengers. 76—WINTER SPORTS REVIEW Only Madison came within seven points of upsetting the Bears. The margin separating EBHS from all other opponents was in double figures. Bob Jones and Craig Brearley shared most valuable player honors at season's end. Jones held the state record for the high jump. He would become Middlesex County's Scholar-Athlete for 1977 and would be co-winner with Trish Bornheimer of the Big E Award. WRESTLING At first blush, the 7-6-1 record of the Wrestling team does not seem too impressive. But the improve- ment from last year's mark of 3-9-1 advanced the Bears from a twelfth place ranking to sixth place. This was the most improvement by any team in the county and earned for Paul Quirk “Coach of the Year honors, a feat all the more signifi- cant when one considers that this was his first year with the varsity squad. Five seniors were cited for their ef- forts at the end of the season. Mike Doyle received the team's Jay Doyle Award. Mike is Jay's son. Ben Fourman was awarded the Jim Rishar Award. Jim Lamo was given the Coaches Award; Frank Asdourian. the Senior Award; and Bill Sorber, the prize for the Outstanding Wrestler. BASKETBALL This was John Emery's final season as coach of the varsity. One wishes the team could have bade their coach farewell in a more im- pressive fashion. He had been coach for sixteen years — ever since EBHS had fielded a basket- ball team. A 24-0 mark would have a more appropriate send-off than the 10-14 record he got. Still, the cagers were 10-1 0 in con- ference play and that was good for sixth place and six points towards the Jay Doyle Trophy. And they gave the conference leaders — Woodbridge, Madison and Kennedy — a good battle in five of their six encounters. Only in a 65- 44 loss to Kennedy in mid-season were they blown off the court. Jeff Knaus was honored for best performance and as most outstan- ding player. Steve Stiteler was named best player on defense. GIRLS BASKETBALL Girls Basketball, on the other hand, went 1 7-6 and tied for second in the conference with Cedar Ridge, behind Sayreville. The girls jayvees, incidentally, were undefeated in 20 games. Ironically, the varsity's poorest showing came outside the con- ference in the Christmas Tourna- ment between teams representing all the Brunswicks. East Brunswick was upset on successive nights by North Brunswick, 53-56, and by New Brunswick in the consolation game, 61-71. Little solace there. Debbie Hanna was named the team's best player on offense; Ron- nie Gudewicz, best player on defense. Trish Bornheimer won the MVP award and Anne Murray was cited as the most improved player. In passing, it should be noted that the girls do not play man-to-man defense. It is now Person-to- Person. SWIMMING This is not a conference sport, probably because most conference schools — like East Brunswick — do not have indoor pools. They don't have outdoor pools, either. That East Brunswick competes in this sport is because a dedicated coach. Doug Jordan, and gutsy kids have enough desire to com- pete that they get up early enough to travel into the New Brunswick YMCA for practice at 6:30 a.m. Some of the swimmers, it should be noted, are active in the sport year 'round, and compete during the summer with local swim clubs. Others are seasonal swimmers, many coming out for swimming to stay in condition after a fall sport or before springtime competition in another activity. Both boys and girls teams had win- ning seasons. The boys won 7 of 1 2 meets; the girls. 7 of 1 0. Bob Blanchard and Ken Wahler were named for MVP honors from the boys team. Tara Leddy, who ranked fourth in the state, was MVP for the girls. Doug Stanton and Connie Wilkens were the most improved swimmers. Genie Abbot and Nancy Vacarro were ranked among the state's top ten girl swimmers. BOWLING Both boys and girls field teams and both teams had winning seasons. The boys were 49-39 and fifth in MCAC competition. The girls were 50-38 and also fifth in the conference. Rich Rau and Wayne Bernkopf shared MVP honors for the boys. Heather Sheehan was MVP for the girls for the second year in a row. Thus, at winter's end, EBHS was firmly in the lead for the Doyle trophy. It now had 81 points. Carteret was second, with 74. Madison, at third with 70. was be- ing pressed by Stevens and Edison.

Winter Track had the best record of any team in the conference but missed out on the conference title because the championship was awarded to the winner of the MCAC meet. This year was different and the Bears got the crown they deserv- ed for their third unbeaten season. They also won first place in their Invitational. Only one thing was wrong—Coach Peter Kaznosky would step down at season's end.

Bill Aldrich ICE HOCKEY—103 Strong Fini h by Spring Team Put Doyle Trophy bock on Our Shelf for Second Yeor The supremacy of the East Brunswick athlete over all others in the Middlesex County Athletic Conference was confirmed again this spring. And the slim lead he had established in the fall in the race for the Jay Doyle Trophy, to which he added a few points during the winter season, became a veritable gulf by year's end. Ironically, the Bears had this spring turned a close race into a rout without winning a single cham- pionship. But they had proved, with two second place finishes, a third place, and two fourth places, that balance is everything. They had, unlike some schools, fielded teams in all conference sports. And these teams, whether in a sport considered major or minor, whether boys or girls, had competed well against all op- ponents. A consistent balanced ef- fort in fall, winter, and spring had proven a successful defense of the trophy named for the man who was Mr. East Brunswick High. BASEBALL Baseball had a new coach. Lou Kosa, but they didn't do very well for him in his debut. They won only nine while losing 20. Problem was weak pitching and a pourous defense which, when join- ed. allowed opponents like Piscataway, Carteret. Madison or Kennedy to score 18. 19. 1 5 or 1 2 runs in a single game. And there were accidents. Gary Benedict broke his foot. He had a .421 batting average and was leading the team in home runs. The significance of his loss is apparent when one considers that Pete Gud- zak took honors for best batting average. He hit .324. Kevin Dembinski was the team's MVP. He batted .322, hit 25 runs, and stole 2 5 of 28 bases. SOFTBALL While Baseball was struggling through its season, its counterpart. Softball, was enjoying the spring, as well it might. The girls were 1 9- 8, good for a fourth place in the conference. MVP for the girls team was Colleen McNamara who hit 1 1 homers and 66 base hits. Trish Conti was the team's best defensive player and Ronnie Gudewicz was tabbed for best offensive honors.

They lost only to Madison Central, who became the MCAC champion. The Green and White was 10-1 overall, 9-1 in the league. Most Valuable Player was Bob Jones, winner of the team's Wing- ed Foot Award. Jones was a hurdler, long jumper, and high jumper. He scored the most points for the team — 210. While known through the press as a high jumper. Jones was also County champ in the long jump, with a leap of 22'1 1 !4 . That jump was also the third longest this spr- ing in the state. In the Highland Park Relays, he and Jacque Saul combined in the high jump medley for a total jump of 13'Vfc' Bob's portion of that — 6' 10Vfc — set a state record. And later, at the State Meet, he set a new record when he became the first high school athlete in New Jersey ever to jump 7'. He is rated tenth in the nation GIRLS TRACK The girls team had another winning season, although it. too. was un- successful in its attempt to retain its MCAC title. The girls placed fourth in the county and fourth in the state sectionals. 104—SPRING SPORTS REVIEW The Winged Foot Award was given to Debbie Deutsch for the second year in a row. Winner of an athletic scholarship to Rutgers, Debbie competed in the hurdles, the long jump, the 440 and the 880, and in the mile relay. The Coaches Senior Award was shared by Tracy MacMillan and Theresa Luckhowec. GOLF Last year's Golf Team won 24 out of 26 meets, captured the MCAC championship, and then graduated, leaving only two returning lettermen. So Coach Dino Jasper didn't expect to do much this year but rebuild. But his team went out and won their first ten meets in a row this spring. Things got a little unsettled after that. But they were in the championship battle right till the end of the season and lost the crown by a single stroke. Most improved golfer was Rich Rau. Most valuable golfer was. for only the second time in the team's history, a sophomore — Corey Temple. His scores were 38's — mid 70's if you think in terms of eighteen holes. BOYS TENNIS Boys Tennis finished its season with a 22-10 record. It went 14-6 in the conference and finished third. Randy Mintz was honored as the team's most outstanding player. The spring point total — 45.5 — added to the ones earned in the fall and winter activities put East Brunswick over the top with 1 26.5. The Doyle Trophy was ours for another year.

A6HLEY TAKE6 P06T IN RAM6EY He arrived at the high school during the summer three years ago. And shortly afterwards, a newspaper feature described him as a whirl- ing dervish.” The writer of the arti- cle was referring to his almost fran- tic activity as he prepared for his first opening of school as principal here, but that description of Dr. Larry Ashley would have been just as apt at the end of his administra- tion as it was then at the beginning. He arrived on a whirlwind and left the same way. never having gotten off. So it came as a great surprise to just about everyone when he an- nounced on the last day of the school year that he had resigned as principal to become Assistant Superintendent of Schools in Ramsey, New Jersey. Not that anyone expected him to stay on here forever—he was too young, too bright, and too ambitious not to move up. But rather, he seemed to have so many projects under way that one just assumed he would stay on a little longer to see them to fruition. There was the Edison Plan, for ex- ample. that he had coaxed the Board of Education to adopt as a means of dealing with student attendance—or, more accurately, the problem of student inatten- dance. And there was the matter of overcrowding. He had argued for—and gotten—four portable classrooms already. Two more were on the way. Yet. for all its suddenness—indeed, because of it—his resignation was in keeping with his style. He had a sense of the dramatic and he played things close to the vest. It would have been out of character for him to have announced his departure in March, let's say. and then spend the remaining three months of the term as a lame-duck principal. If nothing else, he exercised control It was. in fact, his reputation for being a man-in-charge and for run- ning a tight school that recommended him to the Board of Education when it was seeking a replacement for the former prin- cipal, Dr. Kenneth Burnett. Dr. 134—DR ASHLEY Ashley had impressed the board with his efficient management of Irwin School. He had made himself known as one who set high stan- dards and achieved them, knock- ing heads where necessary to do so and often working himself past midnight. One of his first priorities at the high school would be to eliminate much of the permissiveness that had permeated all aspects of school life here during the late 'sixties and ear- ly seventies. Discipline had grown lax, students were not held fully ac- countable for their whereabouts, the curriculum and instruction had gone soft in the search for relevan- cy and in response to the faddish urgings that students be allowed to do their thing. As a result, the image of the school had weakened and conservative voices in the community were call- ing ever more loudly for a change in direction. Operating funds were be- ing cut severely as school budget met defeat at the polls. Turn the school around he did. He began by creating an atmosphere more conducive to learning. Somehow he scraped together money to fix up the place: he had the walls painted in a rainbow assortment of bright colors—wags called the place Disneyland East. He had damaged ceiling tiles replaced. He had more lighting in- stalled in dimly lit corridors. He landscaped the front lawn and the mini-park. He began a systematic retreat from the excesses of the OPEN program. Initially, he limited the areas where students could congregate during their free periods. Halls were cleared of roamers and a pass system was reinstituted. By the end of his administration. OPEN was being closed: sophomores would be assigned study halls in '77-7Q and all students would have assigned study halls by '79- '80. He insisted that the record of stu- dent attendance be improved. Four cuts during a quarter meant an automatic F. When even that did not bring about the desired results, he opted for the Edison Plan, under which four cuts would result in a student's removal from a course with no credit assigned. His efforts to strengthen the curriculum were undoubtedly hampered by budget cuts. The money was not always there to purchase needed instructional materiel. Moreover, budget cuts often meant dropping courses with low enrollment. Often these courses were the advanced level ones. Still he argued for—and got—aides when other schools were losing theirs. And he improved guidance service by insisting upon walk in counselling. He badgered the facul- ty into improving instruction and. not infrequently, checked lesson plans and made unannounced classroom observations. Like anyone who takes decisive ac- tion. he was criticised and his policies were not universally ad- mired or accepted. But Dr. Ashley was not one to back off from an un- popular decision, as was demonstrated this past year in the case of football coach Mel Caseiro. I fired him, Dr. Ashley told a meeting of East Brunswick Boosters. Nor would he soften the stand he had taken by discussing publically his reasons. To do so would have been in violation of his and Board of Education policy. Such a man creates a vacuum when he leaves. Perhaps that's what the school feels—not sur- prise. Dr. Ashley's successor is one who is not likely to stir the emotions that Dr. Ashley did. John Mansfield is like an old friend. He was a student here. He came back to teach. He moved up become Vice Principal when Al Zusman went to Churchill Junior High. One feels comfortable around him. A little comfort may be in order now that we have changed direc- tion. But it is doubtful that we would have changed without a man like Dr. Ashley at the helm. DR ASHLEY—135 PRISCILLA BOHRER BERTRAM BUCKLER Vice President ROBERT VAN WAGNER President DR.

Or so a random sampling of juniors and seniors said when they were polled in May by the office of the Superintendent of Schools. While only 5.9 percent of the 135 respondents said that they thought the overall educational program was excellent, a whopping 47.4—almost half—rated it good. Another 37 percent called it fair and 6.7 thought it poor. Of those answering the survey, 89 were juniors and 46 were seniors. Slightly more than half—54.8 percent—were boys. Two-thirds in- dicated they planned on attending a four-year college or university after graduation.

Not according to over half the students who said, in a sur- vey. that teachers' standards and expec- tations were about right.” While students in the classroom are wont to complain that the teacher is “going too fast. or assigning too much homework, on the sur- vey they indicated the faculty's standards and expectations are about right.” At least 54.1 percent of them. About 20 percent felt the standards and expectations were either somewhat low or entirely too low, and about another 20 percent indicated that the teachers' stan- dards and expectations were somewhat high or entirely too high. In another area dealing with the teachers, 23 percent reported that they felt completely free to talk with members of the staff. 48.1 percent responded that they felt somewhat free to discuss matters with teachers and the remaining 28.8 percent admitted feeling inhibited in greater degrees. About 30 percent rated Guidance good to excellent, but almost 70 percent called it fair to poor.

This area includes the buildings, the grounds and the equipment. It is coincidentally one of the areas most frequently cited as being deficient by principal Dr. Larry Ashley. Of those responding to the survey, only 24 4 percent rated the plant as being good or excellent But fully 74.8 percent said it was fair to poor. While the survey did not seek out specific areas that caused the students to answer as they did, we asked juniors and seniors their opinions about the buildings and grounds. Most found fault with the overcrowding, the vandalism and poor maintenance. While most seemed to regard the newly-arrived portable classrooms as an improvement—they liked the carpeted floors and the air- conditioning—they called attention to the leaks when it rains and the temporary nature of the additions. And some of the students, un- doubtedly athletes, were critical of the condition of the playing fields and the scarcity of practice areas. The soccer fields were areas of specific concern. The superintendent's survey was part of an extensive analysis of the educational program and support services at the high school. The complete results of the survey are on page 151. Staff and administrative surveys were also done but the results have not yet been compiled.

If there is any difference in the situation here, it is just a matter of degree. Our teachers usually don't object when we chew with discretion. But they howl when we crack the gum or blow bubbles in class. Deposit that, they de- mand. in this. And they offer you the waste basket. But this winter we almost went cold turkey without being told by the teachers. What happened was that we heard that a yummy new bubble gum contained spiders' eggs that hatched inside one's stomach. Yeech! So widespread was the rumor that the manufacturer of the gum took out full-page advertisements in several popular magazines informing us that something very bad was being said about a very good gum. Reassured, we resumed our chewing. Care for a piece of Dentynne?

Take frisbees. for instance. Everyone went whacko over them a few years back, but they were received here with little more than passing interest. Until this year, that is. Suddenly, the kids here responded as if the flying saucers had just been invented. If you've tossed a frisbee. you know they're relatively harmless. And. unlike a well-hit baseball, they're not likely to break windows. But they do land on roofs. And kids climb said roofs to recover them. And when that happens here, teachers and administrators get nervous. You'll fall off and kill yourself. they warn. But we know of not one single case where a kid was even scratched as he got his frisbee back. 1 54—SENIORS NOLA BELDEGREEN DIANE BELLETTIERE ANTOINETTE JANET BELLINO BELLEZZA JOHN BIELSKI ANITA BILODEAU ROBERT BLANCHARD PATRICK BLEWITT KIM BONGIOVANNI SUZANNE BONNIC KAREN BORNHEIMER PATRICIA BORNHEIMER PEGGY BOWEN LAURA BOWNE PRISCILLA BOWNE EVELYN BRADLEY MARIE BRAIUCA CATHERINE JAYMIE BRAUER MARGARET BRANDT BRAUTIGAN Senl iA Barszcz—Brautigan THOMAS BARSZCZ Brookdale Communi- ty College.

They probably come from the same supermarket your mom shops at. The rolls, the mustard, the relish are the same as she buys. Maybe it's the ambiance of the stadium, or the high school cafeteria at night—which is something different from the high school cafeteria by day. Maybe it's the service provided by volunteers from the Booster Club or from your class. Whatever the reason, the dogs kids love to bite lived up to their reputation here, and proved to be a money-maker for seniors who were trying to make money for their prom. And for Boosters trying to raise funds to support high school athletics. So great was their appeal that they were sold this spring during lunch periods in the Senior Park by a group of students trying to raise funds to aid a fellow student who is seriously ill and beset with stag- gering medical expenses. The wonderful weiner worked.

Oh. we know that skateboards have been around for a while. But. like frisbees, these four- wheeled wonders didn't really roll until now. Some kids even come to school on them. Don't laugh. You sure don't have trouble parking them. Once you've gotten the hang of them, you can ride them standing on your hands or, by shif- ting your weight, turn them on a dime and zoom off in the opposite direction. You can also break a leg riding them. But they do have some obvious limitations. They aren't an all- purpose vehicle and are absolutely no good when it snows. You can't take your date to the drive-in on one and, when you go to Stewart's Root Beer stand, there's no place to hang a tray. Still you don't need a license to operate one. And you don't have to spend your whole allowance to buy gas.

Pizza, according to a poll conducted by Cla- rion for its Graduation Edition. While that survey didn't get any more specific, we found that most preferred the plain pie. Runners-up were pizzas with sausage, mushrooms, pep- pers, and anchovies. Other than pizzas, seniors also wol- fed down Big Macs and subs. The graduating class also expressed a preference for Barbra Streisand's song ''Ever- green,'' for the movie Rocky, and for Saturday Nito Live on television. The favorite actress was Barbra Streisand; the favorite actor, Sylvester Stallone. A The seniors' pet expression was, Ba-bee! which was some- thing of a surprise. We'd expected to hear Outrage! Mr. Brown was named as the favorite teacher in the senior poll; Ms. Gavron won the honors in the Teacher-of-the-Year voting. ROBERT FALLON KENNETH FARBER CAROL FASCIANO MARIA FEDAK MARJORIE HAL FELDBAUM FEIGENBAUM SENIORS—161 JOANNE FERRARA THERESA FETTER BRIAN FEUERLICHT PAMELA FIELD BONNIE FINFER DAVID FINK When the Senior Mini-Park was fashioned some three years ago, it was intended to be a place for seniors. A kind of privilege you would get when you finally had reached that exalted status. But like the Senior Door and the Senior Hall, it was a Senior Mini-Park in name only. Everyone used it. Until this year, that is. This year someone must have told the graduating class that, unless they exercised their right of ownership, the park would enter into the public domain. In any event, the seniors kicked out the underclass squatters and then mounted a guard to keep them out. It was a case of For-Seniors-Only. And since the guard was mounted at the Senior Door, that, too, became exclusively senior. And similarly, so did lounging rights in the Senior Hall. Underclass- men—juniors, mostly—put up token resistance but acquiesced, apparently realizing their turns would come. It would be nice then not to have to share with the lower classes.

Like the fabled Pied Piper, Tony and his guitar were an irres- tible attraction and some of the sophomore groupies never made it to class. Tony strumming, they would march in and take over a back corner of the cafeteria. But while Tony's guitar enjoyed almost universal appeal, some of the singers didn't. One upperclassman remarked, I've been whined and dined.

Those days have long since passed and the lowly T-shirt is now one of the most popular items of school clothing. They now come in a variety of colors and designs. Each class decorates them with its numerals and sells them to raise money. Zc They come with the logos of brewers of beer and distillers of wine, with the crests of colleges and the insignia of teams. They attract the eye with silk-screened slogans: I have abandoned my search for truth and am now looking for a good fantasy. I'm a Virgin. (This is an old shirt.) Hear no evil . . .

There was scarcely a day that passed that these two did not meet to plan or to discuss, to check or to double-check what was going on with their class. And there was scarcely a week that they did not give up one or two nights to supervise some class activity—like the coffee bar for the night school. They had their fingers in every pie—from tryouts for the Variety Show to Prom, from autograph books to Commencement exercises. Working quietly behind the scenes, they got the act together.

If you're going to college, you take the SAT's and then wait for the results. Then you apply to college and you wait to hear whether you've been accepted. Need financial aid? You apply for a package and wait. And, assuming you made it on all counts, you wait out a long, hot summer wondering what kind of roommate you'll get in the dorm. It's the same hassle if you don't go to college. You wait for a job interview. Then you wait to hear if you were hired. Some girls wait for their fellas to propose marriage. And. in these days of wo- men's lib, some fellas wait for their girls to propose.

And so seniors, having had their fill of cafeteria food, resorted to extra-legal means to dine at lunchtime. Many of them brown-bagged it and. weather permitting, ate their home-prepared goodies al fresco in the mini-park. Others, with cars at their disposal, took orders and made the illicit run to Riddle and Martin's for subs, or to the place with the golden arches for Big Macs. With just about every stu- dent scheduled into class during the lunch periods, and with the lunch period coupled with homeroom, there wasn't much time for off-campus food runs. The only way to do it was to cut homeroom. The ab- sentee rate from senior homerooms gave the admin- istration fits. When at- tempts at enforcement failed, they rewrote the rules for next year.

The tests were two hours long and were given during the mornings of the week-long test period. Students were dismissed in the afternoons and did not have to come to school if they had OPENs during the period for which exams were scheduled. Because the exams were not announced until relatively late in the year, there was some grum- bling. But teachers were allowed to bend and finals could be end- of-unit or end-of-quarter type tests rather than comprehensive exams covering an entire course. That consideration as well as the early dismissals sugar-coated the pill, and most agreed that finals were a Good Thing. It was certainly better than sitting around doing busy work at year's end. SENIORS—177 WAYNE PARK RICHARD PARR CAROL PFEIFER CHARLES PHELPS MARGARET SUSAN POLSKY POLANSKY REGINA PARREIRA VALERIE PARSONS ROSA PASCARELLA MAUREEN PATE Studying can be exhausting work. Not in the same way manual labor is exhausting, but tiring nevertheless. So lounging around is a welcome and much sought-after relief from the numbing routine of booking it. Where does one lounge in an overcrowded facility? Any square of grass is good, or an idle classroom; the library, or an empty hallway; the cafeteria, or a car conveniently parked. Sophomores even steal a moment's rest in the orchard and under the bleachers.

This is often where myths become reality. Countless cigarettes are smoked and innumerable cups of coffee are consumed during these weekend post-mortems. And we even suspect that many, many classes are cut. But this is what memories are made of. And what isn't discussed here is covered in phone calls later. Mondays are usually blah days. But one thing that makes them tolerable is the rap sessions between classes when you rehash what's happened during the just- completed weekend—or find out what happened that you missed.

EBHS Video Vision crews do broad- cast regularly over Channel 8 on local cable television and they air a variety of shows: “Dateline E.B. . coverage of the school's sports events, and such “specials as start-to-finish programming of graduation. They have also video-taped dramatic presentations such as “Hello. Dolly. Demonstrating that nothing succeeds like success, they have gotten permission to equip a small FM-radio studio and will go on the air with regular FM programming this fall. Maybe this explains the new interest in broadcast journalism as a college major.

Perhaps nothing illustrates the change in attitudes better than the con- trast between the reception accorded the sex education programs now given here and that which greeted the film 'Beyond Conception” just a few years back. The movie dealt with the population explosion and suggested, as one remedy, contra- ception. When, during the ensuing dispute, the movie was shown to the public, traf- fic was backed up on Route 1 8 to Two Guys. Today, more tolerant attitudes prevail —perhaps out of a recognition that we are exposed to sex constantly through the media and almost every facet of life. We can handle it more responsibly and maturely, thanks to the programs here. SENIORS—185 U: I TERESA TWOMEY STEVEN UROWSKY DIANE VanDEURSEN MICHELLE VanVORST JAMES VARGA ARTHUR VASH 186—SENIORS For most, the senior year is a time of fruition that transcends finishing one's career of public education or, for that matter, even being accepted by a college you were sure would send a polite rejection. In Cynthia Millian's case, it was making not only the All-State Orchestra but the Regional and All-East orchestras as well. If you were an athlete, you might have found yourself named to an All-State team. Sometimes, the recognition came to a cause for which you had worked especially hard. Seniors on the Clarion, for example, learned journalism on their own and saw their efforts rewarded when their newspaper won top honors in the county and second place at Columbia. The awards were tangible recog- nition that you were making it.

It wasn't world-shaking, but it was one of those UPs that make a day somehow special. Like when that special person you’ve been idolizing does the impossible and says hi between clas- ses.

The days were routine. It seemed that not much was happening. You came to school the same old way, attended the same schedule of classes, had OPEN and lunch with the same people, and took the same old bus home. Only an occasional happen- ing ruffled the surface of your deepening ennui—or so it seemed 226—AFTERWORD But as she neared graduation and looked back, you realized that there were a lot of special days — days worth shouting about. Days with a new friend—or an old one. Days when you got an unexpected A Or got to play in a game where you'd really thought you'd be benched. 228—AFTERWORD 6PEGIAL DfiY6 AFTERWORD—229 GOOD OLD DQY 5 And when life’s little disap- pointments and hurts had cleared away, you would look back on these as the good old days, days of your youth when the future still seemed a long way off and problems were never really as big as they seemed—nor as persistent. Friends would never seem as true and good times would never seem as much fun as then. You would make it into that college you wanted, or get that job you hoped for. You would marry and grow older, changing in body. mind, and spirit. But someplace, some time, you would look back on your days at EB High with fondness, recalling the good old days when . AFTERWORD-231 jo X t With this edition of Emerald, I end fourteen years of yearbooking at the high school and write 30 to over a quarter of a century of active involvement in high school jour- nalism. I shall miss it. indeed. And I say that especially since so many of my friends have patted me on the back since I resigned and remarked that they are glad to see I've recovered my senses. It has been a great deal of work, but it has been worth the effort. One would probably have to be a jour- nalist himself to understand. Once you have gotten printer's ink in your veins, you become an addict. I have tried to publish for you a book worthy of this school and its students. I have also tried to give my staffs a taste for honest jour- nalism— I have never felt we were supplying them merely with paper and ink and a chance to dabble. Each yearbook, I felt, should reflect the uniqueness of the year and the school. It should, I believed, cover the complete year rather than a por- tion thereof and touch the entire student community rather than just one class. I have been guided by the realiza- tion that it costs as much to publish a bad book as it does a good one. The difference is in time and effort and pride. In attempting to put out a yearbook that is honest, I have tried to avoid hurting anyone or causing anyone embarrassment. Facts being what they are, some readers may have blushed.I suppose that's un- avoidable. A yearbook should be no one's ego trip. But there are psychic rewards in direct proportion to the amount of time one spends on a project like a yearbook. I know I leave the Emerald richer for having worked with such fine young people over the years as: Jolan Force, Mark Rosenthal, Bruce Penman, Chuck Bader. Tom Bibby, Jane Cutler, Mary Jane Minkin, Mark Kaulius, Barbara Balajthy, Seth Ray, Sue Macek, Roberta Floy. Karen Palmer, Paul LoSacco, Howie Shemitz. Joe Devaney, and Dan Aks. Or with pros, like: Dick LaWall, Wynne Murchison, Russ Robinson, George Lloyd, Frank Merin, John Ohler, Frank Mitek, Bernie Buck, Col. Charles Savedge, Nancy Patterson, Glenn Hanson, J. W. Bill Click, and Col. Harry Douglas. It is my hope that I have left the readers with a store of memories of their days at EBHS that will serve them for years to come when, like me, they become grey and pudgy and are asked, What was it like when you went to school?
