East Brunswick High School - Emerald Yearbook (East Brunswick, NJ)

Text from Pages 1 - 248 of the 1979 volume:

I What fortune future promises man cannot prepare for one man’s dream of happiness brings another soul despair- But Emerald Dreams are different no others can they hurt locked in some lost pyramid never to be unearthed . . . VOLUME 18 EAST BRUNSWICK HIGH SCHOOL Dream on . . . and on . . . and on We can’t, like the eternally young characters in so many comic strips, lie on our backs in the grass and forever dream about the clouds as they float along the sky. Nonetheless, dreams are an integral part of our lives. With- out them, what would we do? Dreams help us grow and urge us to strive to- ward new goals. And, if we don’t suc- ceed. our dreams at least give us enough hope to try again. High school is a part of this dream. Our years here get us from one place to another. We start out as hesitant sophomores, move up the ranks to juniors who can’t wait to become sen- iors, and finally reach that long await- ed senior year. During that last year, graduation seems that much closer when you're called down to Mrs. Fitz- gerald’s office to check the spelling of your name for your diploma. Some dreams come true during For each age is a dream that is dying or one that is coming to Birth. these three years; others do not. As corny as it sounds, high school really does prepare us to attempt to make our dreams for the future come true. Here is where we make the initial plans for what lies ahead. Whether the goal is college, employment, or running for a seat in the senate, our future starts here. Classes, papers, tests — we live through all this as we plan and forge ahead. Winning that crucial game, get- ting that perfect grade, going out with that special someone — these every- day dreams evolve as we think of loftier goals. We can’t see into the future, so we can’t say if our dreams will come true. One thing is certain: we can never be complete failures while we still have our dreams. Dream on, just as you have done in high school. Business practices learned in school make it easier to find a job after graduation. Perfect metal lathe work is a goal for Todd Laskiewicz. Agility and balance are demonstrated by Debbie Zelizi and the rest of the dance class. Wheel greasing is part of the work Jim Scoles does in auto mechanics class. 2 THEME Last minute homework is a part of every class. A student studies French outside of Building 6. The library is a good place to kill time for Michael Parkinson and Leo Lederman. THEME 3 Making our dreams come true Fantasizing about the future is a common diversion for most of us. Ac- tually fulfilling these desires, however, is something else. If we were to count all the hours we spend working to make those dreams become reality, we would be dismayed by the amount of time which accumulates. Staying up into the wee hours of the night to complete a physics lab, term paper, or art project is standard prac- tice for many procrastinators. And, if we’re dedicated, or crazy enough, to take advanced biology, we carry our fruit flies with us day and night to avoid losing any of the tiny insects and jeop- ardizing our grade on that important If one advances confidently in the di- rection of his dreams and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours. _________________________ We all have visions of owning a car and having the money to pay for the gas. So, to satisfy that wish, we take on parttime jobs. We also work hard trying to get accepted into a college or trade school, so we worry about entrance examinations and applications. When we’re ready to join the fulltime work force, we rehearse for that big job interview. Most of the time, our labors are worth the effort, but on other occa- sions, we think they’re just a waste of time and energy. After we get over the disappointments, we set new goals, learn from our mistakes and journey toward new projects which we can only hope will be more successful. 4 THEME Would be builders practice their trade in Indus- trial Arts. Gary Bruno drilled many holes to com- plete his project. Lessons come alive when repeated in lab exper- iments. Joanne Flannigan received expert advice in chemistry from Mr. Anderson. Today’s students may be tomorrow s Nobel prize winners. Anthony D’Amico prepared for his future in Advanced Placement Chemistry ASPIRING MUSICIANS put their talents to work in band and orchestra. Band President Helene Kaplan spent many hours practicing the tuba Titration tubes can present a delicate problem. Hesham Soliman handles one carefully. A PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALL scouts, beware! Carl Falco and Mike Neil were key players in the Bears upset against the Woodbridge Barrons. TIME AND PATIENCE are needed to produce quality art projects. Liz Sawyer concentrates on her weaving. THEME 5 Daydreams We all like to sneak off in our own lit- tle world of daydreams. Look around and you’re likely to see many of us gazing into space. We temporarily withdraw from whatever is happening in class and muse about . . . summertime . . . the prom . . . sportscars . . . skiing in the Alps . . . surfing off Hawaii . . . having a maid to clean our rooms . . . winning a million dollar lottery . . . having a book published . . . discovery by a talent Gently - as we sometimes glide through a quiet dream. scout . . . Often, when we wake from our rev- erie. we find ourselves staring at the clock. We try to will the hands to move so we can get through one more period. That one period brings us that much closer to our wish of the day being over. A brick wall may not be the most comfortable place to sleep, but Mike Wessler and Mike Dev- erey don’t mind. Hands on his chin and his mind somewhere else. Mike Kish wishes the time would go fast. Typing class isn’t only typing as Karen Rusch finds out. 6 THEME Some people study in the library while others, like Beth Wurtzel. find it a good place to com- pletely relax. Chemistry problems occasionally put us in a daze. Eric Wolfgang puzzles over an especially tricky one. A short nap helps break up the day for Annette Scimemi. Many times difficult chem questions need much time and thought before they can be answered To daydream and look attentive at the same time is an art in itself. Linda Olchavary tries to sit through the lecture. A good book captures Lisa Miller s attention. A difficult math problem stumps Jeff Kosten as he probes for an answer. THEME 7 Dreams of success Although success means different things to different people, most of us are bound by the common desire to achieve this elusive, sometimes intan- gible, accomplishment. In school, our aspirations include avoiding gymnastics in gym, surviving that first period on the driving range and being chosen for All-State Orches- tra or Chorus. We cross our fingers during an audi- tion for a part in the play, during the election of officers for a club, and as the boy or girl we ask out takes his or ’’the desire of glory clings even to the best men longer than any other pas- sion.” her time answering. We have dreams of glory for our lives after graduation, too. One of us might drive the world’s fastest racing car in the Indy 500. Another might be a pilot for the projected space shuttle to the moon. And still others may become presidents of large corporations. Surviving our years here and receiv- ing that diploma are hopes almost all of us have. Once we succeed in these, our yearnings can take us just about anywhere. Chemistry demands exactness as Terry Griggs. Jean George and Kathy Pearce discover through constant experimentation. Practice makes perfect learns Bruce Goldstein as Mr Cliff Taylor checks his work David Kohn. Robert Fatone and Kevin Darvar also benefit from his criticism. Daily rehearsals improve the performance of Mark Magliozzi and Tom Hanson on the bass clarinet. Flipping the ball over a Kennedy defender. Chuck Icenogle displays his soccer skills. Better yearbooks should be the result of the newly formed yearbook class. Editor-in-chief Jeff Abramowitz often shared what he had learned at a summer workshop in Ohio. THEME 9 Shared dreams Social cliques are prevalent through- out society and high school is certainly no exception. Some cliques are obvi- ous and seem rather exclusive; others are less clearly delineated. It isn’t nearly as important as many people think that we have to be ac- cepted by the “in group.” Finding kids with whom we have common interests and ambitions is what really matters. Whether we link up with one or ten kids is immaterial so long as we have some one we can trust. But I, being poor, have only my dreams under your feet; tread softly because you tread on my dreams.” We share dreams with these friends. One group may wish for acceptance to a prestigious Ivy League college. An- other may put in long hours of practice to compete for athletic scholarships. Still others may become apprentices and save enough money to open busi- nesses. These aren’t stereotypes, but dreams we share with our peers. Notes are helpful study aides. Shi-Ling Su and Scott Perlman compare history notes. A mouthful of corned beef keeps Seth Asofsky from arguing with Rich Schultz. Victory tastes sweet when it comes as a team ef- Juniors show spirit at the Homecoming game, fort. Coach Lou Kosa gives a pep talk to the girls soccer team. Humanities classes journey to the Big Apple to get a bit of culture. Lucky students missed some classes while they were on this trip to a New York museum. THEME 11 Dreams of the future All of us, throughout our high school years, have dreams for our future. We have certain goals we want to attain — becoming a successful lawyer, a fam- ous writer . . . traveling around the world . . . marrying a wealthy person — because we think they will make us happy. Our high school experience is only a stepping stone to these dreams. It is a time for us to realize that decisions have to be made about what comes after high school. Should we take a full-time job or attend college? We spend our opens in the Career Re- source Center of the Guidance Office ’’Necessity can set me helpless on my back, but she cannot keep me there; nor can four walls limit my vision.” searching for the roads that will lead us to our dreams. We also look forward to things we've dreamed about since we were little kids. We’re aware that in future years we will see the hundredth anniversary of World War I, the automobile and electricity. We'll be part of the celebra- tion of the New Year in the year 2000. That should be a very big New Year's Eve party! And, we’re especially looking for- ward to the year 2004 and wonder whether all our dreams will come true by our 25th reunion. Senior interview enable students and coun- selors to meet and discuss plans after high school. Guidance chairperson Jo Ann Magis- tro confers with Vinnie Serrao. Molecular structure fascinates Alex Kopel witz. Aspiring artists express their perceptions of model Stacey Wexler. 12 THEME Complete notes will help Paul Roder study for his test. Music is magic for flute players Hiromi Ito and Rosalynn Weiss. Calculus is not fun and games for Ken Parsons. Dedication to school work is a prerequisite for Advanced Physics. Scott Plevy. David Schein and Tom Twomey pay attention in class. Nightmares For every dream-come-true, there seems to come a nightmare. Tests and quizzes all seem to descend upon us one deadly day. Some of us are faced with dreaded oral speeches which make us freeze in fright like statues of stone. As we approach the front of the room and turn around to face the class, our hearts pound, we feel the butterflies flit in our stomach, our tongues twist, and our palms sweat. And, although opens serve as a relief to those nightmares, at times, they are equally disastrous. Sometimes we leave our keys in our locked car at Mc- Donald's, or simply lose track of time on the walk back from Bella's and are late to our next period class. ... So full of ugly sights, of ghastly A few of us sit and sulk in the cafe- teria because of our failure on the driv- er’s test. Those of us who are gym- nasts try to maintain our poise if we fall from the balance beam during impor- tant meets. And, as June approaches, we despair over not having a date for the prom. Even some weekends end in night- mares. An open house party can be- come a catastrophe when parents come home slightly earlier than ex- pected. It doesn’t take us long to realize that nightmares are impossible to escape. Towers of blocks surround Joe Boschi as he studies for his class. New math concepts frequently puzzle students. Mrs. Rosalie Triozzi helps Barbara Litz with her problems. Embarrassed by the camera, Lorraine Naddeo tries to hide her face. Rain and late buses cause lots of aggravation to students who stay after school for meetings and extra help. Ink drawing by David Spivack. Learning the laws of gravity the hard way. Dave Nicholson leans back a little too far and falls off his chair. Concentration eludes Suzanne Strauss as she tries to understand her teacher s Spanish. Dreams of joy School can be a chore five days a week, seven hours a day. But, it’s not all bad. Things often do come out the way we hope they will. The football team had its dream — and revenge — come true when it beat Brick. Juniors and seniors are elated when they finally get that coveted driver’s license. We feel even greater when we put a parking permit on our car window and drive to school. We're happy when we . . . get tickets Saddle your dreams afore you ride � _ „ M em. to a Springsteen concert . . . receive a standing ovation in a play . . . make drill team . . . meet the first and last year- book deadlines . . . order our school rings . . . spend the first warm day of spring at the shore . . . get our first pay check . . . share a special moment with a special person. Homework goes faster when done in groups. Mark Franke and Ed Schroth found calculus wasn’t so band when they put their heads to- gether. Marie Donzella, Scott Bode and Hadley Roth gave encouragement from the sidelines. Classes aren't always dull, as Mario Masciulli demonstrates. 16 THEME a Lighthearted moments and senior mini park go hand-in-hand. Darlene Gunia takes advantage of a sunny day and a free period. Laughter breaks the monotony of the demand- ing Columbia Math class. Sue Klein is one of the handful of survivors from the original group of 68 students. Another meeting place for friends is the railing along the road behind the gym. Hillary Hutson. Craig Gatarz and Lisa Marsicano meet at the baseball field. Friends find special spots to meet during the day. Joanne Spinelli and Patti Gaffney chat with friend. Seniors smile through open periods. Suzanne Fidler enjoys a privilege given only to seniors THEME 17 The impossible dream Throughout the year many of our dreams seemed impractical and un- reachable. These were our impos- sible dreams and we strived to realize them. We resolved to get straight A's in all of our courses, and dedicated our time toward working for that goal. Studying nightly for the SAT’s, we en- visioned receiving scores of 700's, and maybe earning a scholarship. We set aside time to excel in sports and other activities. Giving our undivided attent- ion to our A.P. courses, we strived for perfection. These ambitions elusively taunted us, coming closer, then re- ceding, but we steadfastly remained bound to our dreams. Mastering a new math concept advanced us, flunking a Tell me not, in mournful numbers, Life is but an empty dream! chemistry quiz brought us one step back. Our days were spent alternately in frustration and elation. Many of us became successful in our pursuits and actually attained our impossible dreams. Many of us had to compromise, and convince ourselves that “almost wasn’t so bad. Pippin, portrayed by Bob Ollander. searches dramaticaly for the right path in life to take. Practice and determination are all factors which aid John Emery in developing baseball skills. Bullseyes in archery seem unattainable Chris Karl pulls out the arrows in order to make another effort. 18 THEME Home-made cameras always have us wondering if they will work. Dan Tury experiments with his pin- hole camera while Steve Friedman looks on. Combination locks many times do not open when we want them to. expecially if there's a bus to catch. Drawing by Bob Lyons. 19 THEME Dreaming of the past . Every now and then our minds have a way of slipping back into the past. Very often during the course of the day, we can be caught staring into space. We may be thinking about last summer and wishing we were at the shore again. We might even be reliving an historical event in a social studies class, such as the McCarthy hearings of the 50’s. Regardless of the situa- tion, surrounding us all are reminders of days gone by. In school, the past is very much a part of the present. Literature classes, especially, take us back to fascinating places. One day we might be trading Like glimpses of forgotten dreams. inquisitive remarks with Socrates and the next day we could be aboard the Pequod with Captain Ahab in search of the great white whale, Moby Dick. The Child Development classes also turn the hands of the clock back in time. The in-school nursery program enables us to care for pre-schoolers. Through our activities with the small children, we have a chance to repeat our childhood. To recapture the past is not such a difficult task if one takes the advice of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s Jay Gatsby when he says, Can’t repeat the past? Why of course you can! The nursery playground provides the setting for students io relive their childhood. Up, up and away! Sue Roardon takes off after the 3:05 bell. One of life's eternal pleasures is the satisfaction gained from gum chewing Elaine Brown blows a bubble during class. Behind bars everyone! Students often feel caged in school. 20 THEME Cheerleaders turn coneheads as Bernice Corni- cello. Diane Ambrosy. Leslie Scardino. Jackie Babic, Sue Chmura and Debbie Zelizi spoof the popular T V. show “Saturday Nite Live. Chicken fights in senior park help break up the monotony of school work. THEME 21 activi ties 23 ACTIVITIES Winnie the Pooh dominates the sophomore class float. The first float made by the Class of '81 garnered third prize. Each class had to use a Walt Disney theme. A lush Jungle Book” captures second place for the juniors in the annual float competition. Top honors went to the seniors for their minia- ture version of the Magic Kingdom. Defense was the key in the homecoming victory. The deathmobile carries the varsity cheer- Tom Churak makes a move against the Wood- leaders onto the field. The Bears succeeded in t bridge Barons. overcoming Woodbridge during the game. Homecoming Victory Makes Clouds Disappear The October day started out dark and dismal, with the skies threatening rain, but by game time, the sun burst through and welcomed the charging Bears on to the field. The crowded stands cheered as East Brunswick defied predictions and beat undefeated Woodbridge. The Bears upset the Barons 14-6. The traditional halftime parade featured Homecoming Queen Julie Pepe and King Kevin Clearie. Junior and Sophomore attendants Kelly Cavanaugh and Donna Schuman followed. The Class of 79 captured top honors in the float competition for the second consecutive year. Junior and Sophomore floats came in second and third. Each float depicted scenes from Walt Disney. It was a great day for alumni, students, friends Homecoming Queen Julie Pepe and King Kevin Clearie presided over the halftime parade. Soph- omore Donna Schuman and junior Kelly Cava- naugh were attendants. CAMPUS LIFE 25 Pippin finds happiness with Catherine. Rob Ollander sings love song with Rosanna Shyne. Sibling rivalry erupts as Louis. Pippin's half brother, challenges his right to the throne. Louis was portrayed at this performance by Rich Griffin. The leading player, Mike Taubenslag. opens Pippin s eyes to the realities of the world. commedia del arte No one could ever accuse Mr. Elliot Taubenslag of taking the easy way out when he plans a Drama Club production. He can now add “Pippin”, a demanding Commedia del Arte, to his list of curtain calls. Pippin, the son of King Charlemagne, was portrayed by Robert Ollander. Leading player and narrator Mike Tauben- slag danced and cajoled as the confused prince searched for “his corner of the sky.” Victor Aprea played Charlemagne; Karen Zielinski and Nancy McKinney were Fastrada on alternate nights; Steve Sackman and Rich Griffin took turns playing her “mama’s boy” son Lewis; and Mary Beth Hebert and Jean George shared the lively role of Pippin’s young-at-heart grandmother. Rosanna Shyne. was cast as Catherine, the person with whom Pippin finally found happiness. Senior Walia Lebedynec almost single-handedly de- signed and produced the lavish costumes and Ms. Kathleen Hunsburger served as vocal coach. Although some people complained that they could not hear every actor and that parts of the play tended to move slowly, the Drama Club’s performance was far above that of a typical high school play.

Lots of energy and enthusiasm went into home- coming preparation. Harold Zierdt and David Spivack paint one of the many posters. Inspiration for the team, Bernice Cornicello cheers. From the sidelines Don Geczi. Frank Toth and Scott Schroeder follow the game. School Spirit Sparks Student Solidarity Cheerleaders no longer yelled, “Rah, rah sis boom Bah,” and varsity jackets replaced letter sweaters. The times may have changed, but the “Zeitgeist,” the spirit of the times, did not. School spirit was as strong in our high school years as it had been in our parents’ day. Despite the apathy of recent classes, our enthusiasm ran wild from the first football game to the last track meet. The football team’s rejuvenated reputation as a powerhouse un- doubtedly contributed to this feeling. We had winning teams and like to cheer them on to victory. Booster Club sold tags saying, “Beat and Bear memorabilia. Cheerleaders did splits, the drill team did its routines and the band played its music. The fans, though, were the most important ingredient. Why bother to play well if no one bothered to come to watch. Of course, spirit wasn’t limited to athletics. Solidarity within the classroom was a key factor in academic success. The energy poured into extra-curricular activities also re- quired a special incentive. We worked hard for our school. Spirit soars as the seniors display their enthusi- asm at the homecoming pep rally. CAMPUS LIFE 29 A harem of rowdy men clothed in sheets encircle Barb Briuca. In the spirit are Tom Churak. Had- ley Roth. Bob lati. Corey Temple. Dave Mironov. Mike Powers. Ricky Horn, and Dennis Blewett. Crowns of foliage were not worn by everyone. A.J. Ricci and Corey Lessner flaunt their un- usual headgear. To-ga! To-ga! To-ga! “Toga! Toga! Toga!” Sound familiar? It’s part of the hottest, not to mention the craziest, rage to hit the school. The influences of the movie, “Animal House, can be spotted all around the building...people in the cafe- teria slurping jello and slinging french fries...football fans yelling “Toga! Toga! Toga! instead of “Go! Go! Go!...the “deathmobile float that was an unofficial entry in the Homecoming Contest. Other results of the movie are the toga parties, usually open house parties. Anyone can come, provided he or she wears a toga. Everyone is draped in sheets and wearing wreaths of ivy or other types of foliage as crowns. People may say that East Brunswick High School is turning into a zoo, but don’t you believe it—an Animal House is more like it! Females are more conservative about their togas than the males who display a bare shoulder, though some girls have raised their hemlines just a bit. Shown here are Kellee Rose. Michele Randzio, Sue Chmura. Jackie Babic and Leslie Scardino. 30 CAMPUS LIFE A family of empty bottles sits on the shelf wait- ing to be thrown away.

He is accompanied by Sue Duni. Mike Wessler and Mike Thompson. 31 TOGA PARTIES Enthusiastic support is provided by Marching Band. Total concentration is required in playing music. Marge Mason practices violin. Below. Bill Justin plays French horn. All state orchestra members Melanie Kupchin- sky and Jonathan Friedes establish standards for orchestra. 32 CAMPUS LIFE The Marching Band entertained at all football games. The band participated in several parades, including the Halloween, Christmas, and Memorial Day parades. In May the band competed in Toronto, Canada. Fund raisers encouraged by the parent organization The Band Boosters, included a raffle drive, citrus fruit sale, turkey shoot and bake sale. East Brunswick had the honor of being the host band at the Home News Band Festival. School spirit is boosted by the enthusiastic music at all pep rallies. The Indigos, a select group of 26 musicians perform at elementary and junior high schools, the Faculty Tea, Christmas Dance, Arts Festival, County Fair and the E.B. Community Arts Festival. Mr. Mario DeCarolis is the enthusiastic conductor of the bands. The orchestra, under the supervision of Mr. Jerry Kupchynsky and Miss Sandra Dackow,provided musical entertainment for the Winter and Spring Concerts. This year, they went on a weekend trip to Moorestown for the twelfth annual combined concert with Moores- town High School Orchestra. School spirit is boosted in rhythm by Peggy Slater and Grace CaVellero. Band Members wait in the bleachers for their turn at center field. 33 ORCHESTRA. BANDS ‘Snowflakes’ theme of Christmas dance ■ December 15 was the date for the Christmas dance, “Snowflakes.” Approximately fifty couples attended the event, sponsored by the Color Guard, and danced to the sounds of the Indigos from 8 to 11 p.m. The music varied from Christmas carols and the Hora to popular songs and the Alley Cat. All the dancers seemed to enjoy themselves immensely, and the after dance spot was Sir John’s, where suited and gowned East Brunswick students filled an entire room. It was a memorable evening, which wound down with the Indigos’ rendition of the romantic tune “Somewhere in the Night,” to which each and every couple danced. Romance envelops dancers Karen Zelinski and Victor Aprea during a ) quiet moment on the dance floor. A close moment is shared by Kathy Mahoney and Corey Temple as band leader Mario DeCarolis looks on. 34 CAMPUS LIFE One, two, three, DIP!

Three E.B. runners get psyched for their international race. 36 CAMPUS LIFE Athletic ambassadors visit Great Britain For the first time in history, a New Jersey high school Cross Country Team was invited to compete in an international competition. The all-expense paid trip brought Coach Brophy and seven senior runners to Coventry, England to compete in the annual King Henry VIII relay race. The seven seniors, Stew Fisher, Doug Coltharp, Jerry Tamburro, Larry Hutson, Ray Chagnon, Wayne Schorpp, and Harold Zierdt, composed the squad which represented the United States in the 45-team international field. Along with Mr. and Mrs. Jack Brophy, the boys were accompanied by Mr. Lou Horvath, who acted as a chaperone. Forced to race under unusual and adverse conditions, the boys upheld the American tradition by placing ninth in an extremely talented field. The boys continued to dominate the Europeans by placing second in a four-mile cross-country race later in the week. When they weren’t running, the boys were kept busy sightseeing at many of England’s historical tourist attractions. Among them were Buckingham Palace, the Tower of London, Stratford on Avon, Oxford, and the world famous Cathedral at Coventry. The team was also treated to an English football match, a Saturday night pantomime, and tea with the Mayor. The members of the team were the guests of English families for their eight-day stay. The boys were most impressed with the hospitality and generosity of their English hosts, who went out of their way to make sure the trip was an experience that would be long remembered.

Robin Brown. Erin Regan. Pam Carr. Anne Zaleski, Melissa Dorin. Barbara Treat. Lisa Pilosi. Judy Newell. Amy Finfer. and John Manfreda. Chinese Auction is fabulous fundraiser It all began last November, three and a half months before the big event was to take place. On a frigid and windy Saturday afternoon during Thanksgiving vacation, three students and one advisor representing the Junior class trudged to Brunswick Square Mall to begin the long and grueling process of acquiring gift donations from any and all area merchants. Little did they know that they would complete this activity just three weeks prior to the Auction. Details and progress were sketchy throughout December and January. Then, in early February, the Class Council provided the boost which the fund-raiser needed- a virtual in school media blitz. Flyers, posters, and an- nouncements greeted Juniors almost daily, prompting them to bring in donations. Under the urging of Chair- person Melissa Dorin, President Craig Gatarz, and advi- sors Mrs. Shirley Bennett and Miss Bernadette Richvalsky, things began falling in place by late February, and on March 8. the only worry that plagued the Juniors was the hope that enough people would attend the Auction. This fear was quickly alleviated when some fifty people lined up outside the cafe doors- V2 hour before the Auction was to open!! What followed is history. Nearly 375 people jammed into the cafeteria by 7:30, taking chances on more than 200 prizes including a black-and-white portable T.V. All details fell into place and the evening went like clock- work. from the expertise of Mr. Robert Lawson at the announcing mike, right down to the refreshment girls and prize runners. The evening reached a climax at about 10 p.m. when the T.V. and a $125.00 fifty fifty were raffled off. As a result the Class of 1980 reeled in an astounding $2,300, making the Chinese Auction one of the most successful fund-raisers in EBHS history. 38 CAMPUS LIFE The Chinese Auction is kept rolling by Mr Robert Lawson, who is at the mike announcing a winning number.

Stubborn as a mule Maria Alferis is pulled by an obstinate donkey. In toreador fashion, Ed Schroth uses a red flag to wave his donkey on. 40 CAMPUS LIFE One of the pitfalls of the game was having to clean up after your donkey, as Debbie Zelizi learns. Driving to the hoop, Harold Zierdt focuses his attention on the basket. In total desparation, Harold Zierdt throws one of the last shots of the game. Students make donkeys out of teachers In February, the senior class sponsored its second annual Donkey Basketball Game. A team composed of students took on an all-star lineup of teachers and administrators. The object of the game is to score a basket while managing to stay on the donkey. The task proved easier said than done. The large crowd watched such celebrities as “Rowdy Rosie” Triozzi and “Super John” Mansfield wrestle to stay on their animals-a battle the donkey usually won. The student squad, made up of Maria Alfieris, Theresa Chillscyn, Mike Florek, Chris DiMuro, Steve Preville, Mike Kohn, Bill MacNiven, Ed Schroth, Steve Noto, Leslie Scardino, Kathy Skislak, Debbie Zelizi, and Harold Zierdt, defeated the faculty (Mr. Mansfield, Ms. Magistro, Ms. Lytle, Mr. Florek, Mr. Odenheimer, Mr. Wieder, Mr. Noppenberger, Ms. Richvalsky, Mr. Kuran, Mrs. Triozzi, Mr. Herbert, Mr. Jandernal, and Mr. Caseiri), by a score of 20 to 8. However, the real winners were the 780 members of the senior class who raised over $600.00 through the event. 41 DONKEY BASKETBALL .V A silhouette of Sandy Sussman in the lighting cage is made as the lights are dimmed for the show Blues Brothers John Stine and Jim Scoles bring down the house with Soul Man.” Look at that attractive couple of dames!

Cindy Bongiovanni. and Leslie Brodsky listen intently as director Vic Aprea gives some staging instructions. Senior talent shines in super show With more than 85 acts vying for 45 spots, the talent in this year’s Senior Variety Show was overwhelming. This resulted in a show with more serious moments than in previous years. The show was still funny but musical numbers and dramatic acts were more prevelant than ever. Even the three emcees, Cory Lessner, Harold Zierdt, and Bob Oilander, effectively mixed comedy with their musical talent.

Today, the result is that many of the walls are now colorfully covered with the imagination and talent of our students. Commercial Art II students submit possible ideas in the form of drawings as well as approve the ones which will be used. Funds for the murals come from the Student Government which donates money to buy paint and brushes. Everyone gains something from the murals whether it is the satisfaction of creating them or the enjoyment of seeing them everyday. This spring we watched Angela Natallicho and Grace Franco paint a large orange slice puzzle in the cafeteria. A melting ice cream sandwich was painted by Robert Lyons. Women and Men murals by Eileen Doktorski.

Football team has victorious season Another season has come and gone for the Bears and, like last year, the players, coaches and fans can only scratch their heads in wonderment. How could a team that had an impressive 7-2 record, which featured a six game winning streak, not make it into the County Conference title game or possibly even the State play- offs? It couldn’t have been a lack of school spirit. Several of the Friday afternoon pep rallies were almost as loud as the Concord SST, and Coach George Tardiff and company received plenty of enthusiastic support from the near capacity crowds at every home game. The problem wasn’t in the defense as only 68 points were scored against the Bears in nine games. At first glance it seems the offeree is also blameless since it scored nearly twice as many points as the opponents did. However, it was a general inconsistency at the quarterback position that was the nucleus of the problem. This unfortunate situation was first realized when the team opened up the season in dismal fashion by losing 8-0 to Perth Amboy, a team that was supposed to be the doormat of the conference. The low point of the game was the Bear’s mere 17 yards gained via passing. Not to be discouraged by one less than spectacular outing, the team bounced back the following week and upset hosting Madison Central 9-0. The scoring punch was provided by Joe Fischer, who rambled 27 yards for the touchdown, and by Carl Falco, who added a safety. This victory pro- vided the Bears with the necessary spark that ignited in them the burning desire to win. And win they did. Over the next five weeks, the team did nothing but win. De- fense was the key as in each game no team ever scored more than a touchdown against the Big Green Machine. A 9-0 triumph over Cedar Ridge was followed by a 14-6 homecoming victory against' the mighty Wood- bridge Barrons. In their next outing against Carteret, the Bears managed to win 21-6 in spite of numerous pen- alties and overall sloppy play. The next victory against Edison, 20-0, will be remembered as Vance Jones’ Day. Jones scored 3 touchdowns including two that covered Patiently awaiting the result of the pre-game coin toss are Captains Mike Thompson and Bill Karmazyn.

In the final game of the rampage, junior quarterback Mike Neill led the Bears in a relentless fourth quarter attack that resulted in a 14-7 victory over Brick. The playoff hopes that were spawned by this victory were on the line when the defending conference champion, J.P. Stevens came to town the following week. It was in this crucial game that the Bears’ quarterbacking problems came back to haunt them. Four interceptions provided Stevens with all the scoring opportunities that were needed. Sophomore quarter- back Dave Feldman led a valiant comeback effort by throwing two touchdown passes in the last quarter but it was a case of too little, too late as the Bears lost 31-12. Although the team was numerically eliminated by this defeat, it went on to win the season finale against Colonia, 15-10. Even though the Bears did not reach the playoffs, several players deserve credit for performing above and beyond the call of duty. Powerful senior running back Joe Fischer played an invaluable role in most of the team’s successes. On defense, seniors Bill Givas and Mike Thompson played vital roles. It was a year of great progress and hopefully next year’s team will be able to complete the team’s develop- ment as a championship team. The Junior Varsity did not have as successful a season as its varsity counterparts, finishing with a 3-4 record. On the other hand, the sophomore team had a superb year, chalking up a 7-1 record that included four con- secutive shutouts. a—HF t W!lf ilF ; Si 86 26 20 3i 76 f 61 __ '1 — iPHOMORE tcataway ■j� nn-dy Junior Varsity: Row 1.

This was the case, though, as girl’s soccer became a bona fide varsity sport. With Coach Lou Kosa at the controls, the girls sur- passed all expectations as they finished with a promising 9-3-1 record. Although the team lost 4-1 in its debut against Sayreville, that game will always be remembered as the occasion of the groundbreaking first goal by an East Brunswick girl, Gretchen Whitman. This initial loss did not shorten the team’s reach for success as it went on to win all but three of its remaining games. In fact, more than half of its triumphs were by virtue of shutouts. Also, while the team scored an average 2.1 goals per game, it only allowed an average of 1.3 goals. Among the key players on the team were Senior Marie Donzella, Junior Erin Regen and Sophomore Ann Roder. After enjoying the success of this debut season, Coach Kosa and next year’s returning letter- winners can only look forward to continued good luck. Manipulating the ball, Gretchen Whitman avoids an opponent. A team huddle is formed around Coach Kosa as he outlines the strategies for the next game.

This season, like last year, was full of many tough games such as the one against St. Joseph’s. Inside wing Chuck Icenogle scored the highest number of goals for the team with a total of 22. Both he and halfback Andy Horvath made the first All-County team. Horvath also was on the All-Con- ference team and achieved a total of 12 goals dur- ing the season. Charlie Fitzgerald contributed seven goals. The team scored a total 58 goals. Goalie Pete Menninger did an outstanding job of saving 76 goals and Doug Karvelas followed close behind, saving 68. Karen Lynch and Sharon Florek were managers. The Junior Varsity team, coached by Bill William- son, had a successful season with a 10-3-1 record. It scored a total of 40 goals and had only 19 scored against it. Even more successful was the Sophomore team coached by Bill Murphy—it had an undefeated season with a record of 11-0. 55 B SOCCER Varsity Row 1: V. Serrao, G. Tadrick, B. Friedman D. Karvelas, P.

First and foremost was a lack of cross country running experience, since last year’s letter winners had grad- uated. The other hindrance to the team was a shuffle in the coaching staff, in which last year’s victorious coach, Mr. James Balsamello, was replaced by Mr. Sandy Horvath. However, the girls were able to adjust to the new conditions and had a winning season, finishing with an 8-3 record. In its first outing, the team participated in a tri-meet and managed to squeak by Colonia, 26-29, while losing to J.P. Stevens 28-27. Although it was defeated in the next meet against North Brunswick, 33-25, the team showed some potential as it kept the score close once again. This potential continued to develop as the season rolled on and the team went on to win seven of the re- maining eight meets. Included in this rampage were literal “runaway” victories over Madison and Perth Amboy. In the MCAC tournament the team finished sixth while Junior Keri Varrato placed a personal eleventh place. In the NJSIAA competition, the team finished in fifth place. Among the runners that set the pace this season were Barbara Doerr, Alison Smith, and the previously mention- ed Keri Varrato. Coach Horvath is looking forward to a successful season next year as everyone, both runners and coach, will be returning with the all-important benefit of experience. Endurance is one of the most important qualities in a cross country runner. Clockwise around the page. Alison Stanford. Constance Wilkens, and Debbie Kady run in a grueling event.

Kennedy Perth Amboy Cedar Ridge MCAS-6th Place NJSIAA-5th Place Recap: 8-3 Harriers destroy dynasty, county championship The Boys’ Cross Country Team, coached by John Brophy, had one of its best seasons, winning 12 of 13 meets. It gave Steinert, the Mercer County championship team, its only loss of the season, scoring a huge upset victory. It then went on to capture the Middlesex County Championship, steal- ing it from St. Joseph’s which has held the title for the past 14 years. The boys walked away with second place in the conference and fifth in the State sectionals which qualified them for the State finals. The Bears were led by Senior co-captains Harold Zierdt and Larry Hutson. Other varsity members were seniors Ray Chagnon, Jon Nielsen, Stew Fisher, Wayne Schorpp, Jerry Tamburro, A. J. Ricci, Mark Castor and junior Keith Kandel. Because of injuries, top runners Douglas Coltharp and Steven Wasser were unable to participate. A fine individual record was set by Harold Zierdt who remained undefeated throughout the regular dual meet season. Harold also placed third in the Counties and broke course records at Middlesex College, the high school and Hamilton East, earning the Most Outstanding Runner and Coaches Awards. Ray Chagnon received the Most Improved Award; Keith Kandel, the Most Valuable Junior and Glenn Marshall, the Most Valuable Sophomore Award. When the county all team selections were made, Harold Zierdt was selected for the first team and Ray Chagnon and Larry Hutson were selected for the second team. Coach Brophy was voted Coach of the Year. The team’s winning season was followed by an in- vitation to compete in the eighth annual King Henry VIII School 6x2 miles Cross Country Relay in Coventry, England. Students at Coventry School raised money to pay for transportation and other expenses for the eight member EBHS contingent which included Coach Brophy and team members Zierdt, Chagnon, Schorpp, Hutson, Fisher, Coltharp and Tamburro. Competing against 44 teams from throughout England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland, the Bears finished ninth. The JV team, led by junior David Jennings and sophomore Glenn Marshall, also had a trimphant season, scoring a 12-1 record. Row 1. G. Marshall. B. Provell. D. Jennings. C. Todoroff, K. Kandel. G.

By anyone else’s standards, though, its season would be considered absolutely brilliant. Included in its average season were a perfect 10-0 record and the right to be called state champion. Is this amazing? Not really — after all, with Coach Don Wieder having led nine teams in 16 years to state championships, high quality has long been the norm and the expected for the boys gymnastics. The 1978 regular season was basically trouble- free as the team crushed each opponent which had the unfortunate luck to have East Brunswick on its schedule. From its opening 129.60-76 landslide victory over Middletown South to its final demol- ition of Franklin, 138.70-89.4, the team showed an amount of versatility and skill that could not be matched. The boys continued to sparkle in post season play as they easily captured the team finals competition and appropriately placed first in the NJSIAA meet. Although the high level of achievement was a classic example of team effort, several gymnasts deserve special recognition for their multifaceted talents. Senior Captain John Gaertner and junior Brian Baley spearheaded the team’s attack with their resourcefulness as both excelled in all around competition. In addition, Lee Pluhowoski also help- ed the Bear's cause with his all around talent. Coach Wieder says that he expects the Bear’s dy- nasty to continue.

All EBHS gymnasts on All-County team Following what has been a tradition during the past few years, the girls gymnastics team had yet another brilliant season. All-County Coach Eileen Matarazzo described the girl’s 9-1 season as “gen- erally outstanding’’ and, indeed, it was. With a style and finesse that has been matched only by several previous East Brunswick gymnastic teams, the girls performed nearly flawlessly during their entire two month schedule. The team’s one loss came against Ridgewood, the school that went on to win the State finals. The loss, however, did little to hinder the girls’ determination as they pro- ceeded to win the remaining eight regular season meets. In addition, they won the MCCA Tournament for the fourth consecutive year and the Central Sectional championship for the first time. In the State finals, the girls finished second out of 12 com- peting teams. One key reason for the enormous success of this year’s team was its incredible depth. Senior Dianne Turcotte finished first in the all around competition in the MCAC Tournament. Also, Sophomore Elaine Sacks placed first in the all around competition in the Central Sectional Championship. Equally re- sponsible for the outstanding season were Senior Terri Roedelbronn and Freshman Jodi Laskiewicz. The official outlook from Coach Matarazzo for next year’s team is optimistic. With numerous returning varsity competitors, next year’s team should be able to keep the winning tradition here. I 64 SPORTS A graceful style is evident in Karen Regen during the floor exercise.

GYMNASTICS MCCA Central State finals 1st 1st 2nd Young tennis team gains experience The Girls Tennis Team, which had faced a long and hard schedule this season, had its highs and lows in match play. The team, coached by Mr. William Pella- grino, had compiled a fair record of 8-13. There were only three returning players to the team: seniors Chris Herbert and Robin Baron, and junior Teri Lowenstein. Mr. Pellagrino stressed that the team was very young which the starting line-up clearly proved. At first, second, and third singles respectively were, senior Chris Herbert, sophomores, Jessica Mayer and Mary Syrokwash. The first doubles team consisted of senior Robin Baron and junior Teri Lowenstein. Playing second doubles were sophomore Nita Sinha and junior Amy Weiss. Marsha Wolfchuck also had seen some action in doubles. Mary Syrokwash held the best record on the team, an impressive 13-8 doubles and 8-2 singles record. She worked her way up from playing doubles in the beginning to third singles during the course of the season. Compared to last years 14-8 record, an almost complete turnabout occurred. Early in the season, the team suffered the loss of its number one player, senior Nancy Oscar, who was hospitalized. Neverthe- less, the girls soundly beat Hun and Madison and lost by a very small margin to Cedar Ridge and J.F. Kennedy. Only one team shut out the Bears both times and that was the powerhouse Woodbridge. Coach Pellagrino is optimistic about having a very strong team next year.

The team scored a total of 39 goals with 18 goals scored against it. Outstanding players were seniors Mary Doherty, who scored eight goals and won the Coaches Award, and Tracy Meningall, who won the Most Valuable Defensive Player Award. Other players who led the team to success were Robin Johnson, Most Valuable Offensive Player, and Tracy Meade, who scored a total of 13 goals. Fullback Sue Do- herty also was a great help to the team, winning the Most Improved Player Award. The team was the runner-up in the Middlesex County Coaches Tournament and reached the semi-final round of State Sectionals. Although the Junior Varsity team did not do as well as Varsity, with a record of 2-8-2, Coach Laura Chelli-Thibodeau sees strong promises for next year’s team.

There is one characteristic of EBHS Swim Team members that make them more zealous than their counterparts; they must attend daily practice at the New Brunswick YMCA at the im- possible hour of 6:30 A.M. Indeed, it takes a certain type of person with an unlimited supply of enthusiasm and energy to pursue swimming. Fortunately, EBHS has many such people. Unfortunately, this year’s boys team had a definite lack of depth and this was a factor in its 5-7 record. Coach Doug Jordan pointed out that swimming should be practiced all year, and since EBHS does not have the necessary facilities, the team was placed at a disadvantage. In addition, the three top scoring members of the team did not compete after mid-season. There were bright spots. The girls team ended with a 7-5 record with Joan Sauvigne, Nancy Vaccaro and Lauren Wasser the leading team members.

The potential power of the team was initially displayed at the first event of the season, the Hunterdon Central Invitational Tournament. First place honors went to Jack Asdourian who wrestled in the 135 lb. class. Second places were taken by Lou Schuck- man at 101, Mike Wessler at 129, Kevin Clearie at 148, and Brian Murphy at 170. The team placed third for this event. In dual meets the team had many “newsline victories.” Its only loss came when it was chal- lenged by the tough J.P. Stevens Hawks; this only marred its almost perfect record of 13-1. Five E.B. wrestlers placed in the County Tournament held at Madison Central. Lou Schuck- man demonstrated his abilities by taking first place. Senior Jack Asdourian and junior Mike Wessler placed second. Kevin Clearie and Bill Givas placed third. Overall the team placed fourth. The team took top lead in the Districts with a point accumulation of 133, overpowering all other schools with first place champs, Lou Schuckman, Mike Wessler, Kevin Clearie, and Brian Murphy. The other varsity stars team who finished with good standing were Pete Kowal, David Meade, Rick Magliozzi, Tim Clarke, Jack Asdourian, Stu Kohn, George Guido, and Bill Givas. The Jayvee team accomplished what no other wrestling team in school history has been able to do; it acquired a perfect 14-0 record. Capping this great season was the 60-0 shutout against rival Madison Central. The Novice Tournament proved to be a high- light for the team. Dom Gudzak (141), Mark Chernek (170), Greg Boldizar (188), and Chris Gryzbowski (heavy weight) came in first place. Bill Grote (108) and Nate Johnson (135) came in second. Locking up.

Top seed in Middlesex County Lou Schuck- man became county and regional champion 73 WRESTLING Pins wobble but won’t fall down The Boys Bowling Team started the season off with a bang, winning 25 of its first 28 conference games. The team was expected to ,do well, but didn’t quite live up to the hopes of Coach Gil Mangieri. The bowling team seemed to come alive during the Middlesex County Tournament, but even then the team’s stamina dwindled. The team had no outstanding bowlers, but it did have many consistent ones. Among them were, seniors Duane Manicone, Sal Bartolone, Mark Schneidman, Troy Miluszewski, and Rich Schuh, all averaging above 164. John Colgrove, a junior, held the high average on the team with a 176. Seniors Mitch Rubin and Kevin O’Hare were excellent substitutes, filling in when the team lacked the higher scores. Both came on strong towards the end of the season, Rubin finishing with a 160 average and O’Hare with a 158. Despite having the highest team average, the team was second best. It finished second in the County Tournament behind J.P. Stevens, who bowled exceptionally well that day. The team also finished second in the Conference Tournament, with a 39-17 record, winning only half of their games during the second part of the conference season. Overall, the team had a fair season, by both the bowlers’ and the coach’s standards. Coached by Gil Mangieri, the Girls Bowling Team, improved its season from last year’s 25-63 record to this year’s record of 27-53. The team was led by sophomore Beverly Kuzio, with a high game of 186 and a high set of 526, and seniors Denise Gfrerer, who bowled a high game of 170 and high set of 499, and Marcia Rocha, who scored a 174 high game and 453 high set. Others who added to the team were Janice Gfrerer, who had a high game of 170 and high set of 484, and Jill St. Clair, with a high game of 189 and high set of 465. The team had a total pin knock down of 39,967. Perfect style is executed by Rich Schuh as he releases the ball. With a look of determination, Mark Schneidman strives for another strike.

Coaches Kevin McEvoy and Larry Zambrowski helped to maintain the strength of the team to clinch the County and Conference Championships. Although its out- standing distance runners were at the King Henry VIII meet in Coventry, England, the team placed second in the County Relays. At the County Meet, senior Harold Zierdt took second in both the mile and two-mile run. Joe Fischer posted second in the 60-yard dash and fourth in the 440. Another fourth place was won by Jeffrey Ben in the 60-yard high hurdles. At both the County Meet and the Relays, the tri- umphant squad for the mile relay included Joe Fischer, A.J. Ricci, Scott Meredith, and Jeff Ben. The mile relay team was our first ever to qualify for the Princeton Relays. The stars for the 60-yard dash were Joe Fischer and Mike Thompson. Jeff Ben, Mike Thompson, Scott Meredith, and John Zierdt led in the 60- yard high hurdles. Top men in the 440 were Bill MacNiven, Joe Fischer, and A.J. Ricci. Others who were equally valuable to the success of the team in the running events were Larry Hutson, Ray Chagnon, Wayne Schorpp, Gerald Tamburro, Doug Coltharp, Stew Fisher, Harold Zierdt, and Steve Wasser. Mark Green and A.J. Ricci were assets to the high jumping event. Shotputters Larry Cantor and Scott Franklin showed the form necessary for this weight event. Jon Nielsen, one of our best two-milers, was unable to participate in the season. Even so, the team had a more than ample taste of victory as they brought home the Middlesex County Athletic Conference trophy. The Girls Winter Track Team, coached by Mr. Kaznowski, Mr. Horvath, Mr. Beier, Mr. Zambrow- ski, and Mr. McEvoy, had a successful season this year. Although the team consisted of only nine girls, they defeated teams with many more mem- bers, and closed the season with a 4-1 record. Of the nine teammates, seven of them received medals at the St. Peters Invitational. 77 Despite the frigid cold weather, Andrea Flieder gains ground on an opponent.

At center, senior captain Don Geczi (S’S”), averaged 19 points and ten rebounds per game. He also set a new school record for field goal percentage by completing sixty percent of attempts. Brian Angelski (6’4”), a junior with great potential, averaged 13 points each game. Senior Scott Schroeder, a forward, scored 11 points per game. Also starting were senior Hugh Miller and junior Charles Fitzgerald, who provided excellent assistance at the guard positions. Other players seeing action were seniors Corey Temple, Kevin McCallen, Greg Veverka, and Mark Franke. The Bears finished third in the Middlesex County Athletic Conference, then advanced into the County Tournament where they were seeded fifth and beat E.B. Vo-tech in the first round.

BASKETBALL Rebuilding basketball team earns respect Talent and good fortune abounded this year in the girl’s basketball scene as both Varsity and JV teams had thoroughly satisfying Reasons. The Varsity team, under the watchful eye of Coach Sonia Regalado, closed out the regular season with a 13-7 record. Its efforts are even more commendable when one considers that this was to be a rebuilding year with only one previous letter winner, Tracy Meade, returning for action. Unfortunately, Tracy broke her collarbone early in the season. The key to the team’s success was its con- sistency throughout the entire season. Never a team to be awed by rival conference powers, the girls generally played up to or above par in each outing. In two meetings against Perth Amboy, a team which reached the semi-finals in the County Tourney, the Bears won both games, including a one point overtime squeaker at Perth Amboy. It also triumphed over the second place con- ference team, Sayreville, in a late season con- frontation. The team enjoyed the shooting practice provided by Cedar Ridge and J.P. Stevens, devastating both schools twice. The season culminated with the Bears finishing third in the conference. Although the success was the results of solid team work, two particular players helped form the nucleus of the team’s attack. Junior Amy Weiss was invaluable as she led the team in points scored with 276 and in rebounds with 231. Also, Junior Pat Barszcz had a fullfilling year as she led the team assists, 30, and steals, 77. The JV Team fared better than its Varsity counterpart as it finished with a fine 18-2 record. With Coach Sal Piccirillo at the helm, the JV’s performed brilliantly all season. In post season play, the team continued to glitter as it rolled by JP Stevens to capture the JV championship title.

During the five days of try- outs, the past season’s varsity members teach the other girls a cheer and explain all of the require- ments. After practicing, there are tryouts for the fall season, and then again for the winter season. The twelve highest scores are taken for varsity, and the next twelve for junior varsity. Apart from needing gymnastic ability, coordina- tion, and agility, the girls must maintain a high grade average. All of the cheerleaders must be very athletic, and as in any other varsity sport, practice is mandatory for three hours almost every day from August until March. Next year, advisors Laura Chelli-Thibodeau and Kathy Ricker are going to try recruiting some male members for the squad. How about it guys? Feel up to it?

We wanted to use the members' talents,” ex- plained President Lisa Fisher. The organization did do more. It established a Big Brother Big Sister program which sent NHS members to Central (elementary) School dur- ing school hours to speak individually with younger kids who had personal or school problems. Children were recommended by their teachers if they had a bad situation at home or new project no older brothers or sisters to talk to. Barry Herstein, treasurer, and co- ordinator of this program said. “Mr. Andre Apostle, Central’s guidance counselor, was very excited when we brought the idea to him and was en- thusiastic about the results and the potential.” Brian Weinstein and Ken Wistreich chaired the committee for the annual blood drive, in honor of Danny Reich, a recent EBHS graduate with hemo- philia.

COLOR GUARD 'Never in 20 years have we had a group like this’ The EBHS Orchestra enjoyed one of its most successful seasons in its history. Under the able direction of Music Supervisor Mr. Jerry Kupchynsky and Miss Sandra Dackow, the orchestra performed a number of concerts, including the Winter Concert, the Spring Concert and the 12th annual combined concert with the Moorestown High School Orchestra. The group gained dis- tinction throughout the state in November when a record 23 students were chosen to participate in the 1979 Region II Orchestra and Mr. Kupchynsky was chosen as the Orchestra’s conductor. Another high point occurred in April when the EBHS students traveled to West Virginia to perform for West Virginia University and the surrounding communities. “This was a marvelous year,” said Mr. Kupchynsky. “This is the most advanced — the most remark- able — senior class I’ve ever seen. We’ve had remarkable people, but never in 20 years have we had a group like this one.” Concentration is necessary while Miriam Simon reads her music. ORCHESTRA. Row 1: Kellie Reid. Jane Pomarici.

Our Chapter is trying to foster international understanding, which is the key to A.F.S., through exchange programs. Each year we host foreign students and send club members abroad. In our ever-shrinking world it is vital that we become aware of and accept the diverse cultures around us. This year our school hosted Ela Rauf from Indonesia, Diana Dona from Venezuala and Misa Misovic from Yugoslavia. We also sent Rich Abram- owitz and Carla Johns abroad. It’s a Small World was the theme at A.F.S.’s program to familiarize stu- dents with foreign cultures. The pro- gram took place the week before the winter break and attempted to have clubs decorate halls to represent specific countries. Michelle Gurney arranged an exhibit of artifacts from many countries which beautified The Gallery in the auditorium lobby. Stu- dents, teachers and exchange stu- dents shared trinkets and family heirlooms for the exhibit of hand- crafted wares. A.F.S. Row 1: Terese Brautigan. Joanne Kelly. Dawn Kondas. Carla Johns.

This includes parti- cipating at in-school demonstrations, where high school students teach elementary grades in any facet of the arts; doing workshops and perform- ances for other club members, shar- ing talents with the community and attending as many concerts and ex- hibits as possible. Some fundraising helps defray the cost of the above mentioned activities, and some will be made into a scholarship for de- serving seniors pursuing a career in the arts. PAVAS.

The purpose of the organization is to promote the study of German and to encourage interest in Germany’s cul- ture and civilization. Members of the German Honor So- ciety must be either juniors or seniors who have completed at least one year of high school German and are en- rolled in another year. They must also have a 3.5 (A-B) minimum average in German and a 3.0 (B) minimum aver- age in all other subjects. As a service organization, the So- ciety is involved in small projects with- in the school and the community. Members have repaired old toys and games for delivery at the pediatrics ward at St. Peter’s hospital, as well as helping decorate a school hall during the Student Union’s winter holiday program. The Honor Society is also responsible for planning and financing the exchange program with high school students from Wester- burg, West Germany, and works with the German Club organizing for the visiting students.

Dave Volz checks out a pair of ski pants. Mother Nature seemed to be against the pursuit made by the largest organization in the school. The ski club had to reschedule numerous trips due to heavy rain, snow or sub-zero temperatures. The weekend trips to Vermont and Canada had many troubles because of the weather. On the bright side, the trips made to Great Gorge and Hunter were filled with some excep- tional skiing. Other successes included the annual Ski Club Swap Sale which had ski movies, bargains on ski equipment and featured the Ski Club’s own fashion show.

Pre- parations for the 1979 Emerald actually began in the Spring of '78, when the present editorial staff was chosen. Senior portraits were taken and Editor-in-Chief Jeff Abramowitz attended a week-long yearbook workshop at Ohio University. During the summer, an ad campaign was begun and the staff met for an organizational meeting. For the first time in EBHS history, the yearbook effort became an accredited course. The yearbook class, which consisted primarily of the editorial staff, met every day to provide the opportunity to work on a daily basis. Ideally the class was to serve as a central control station from which all aspects of the yearbook could be tended, and to reduce after school sessions and weekend workshops. Unfortunately, deadlines were still met only with the aid of many after school hours. The class did help in some aspects such as the successful ad campaign and record breaking book sales. This is also the second consecutive year that the book was distributed in June instead of late fall. Money to help defray yearbook costs is sought from advertisers. Dan Goldwasser lays out a page in one of the largest ad sections in Emerald history. Yearbook class involved independent as well as group work. Some members of the staff exchange ideas for division page designs. EMERALD. Row 1; Bobbie Tu. Wendy Davis. Nancy Meyers. Tom Fordham. Row 2; Rich Abramowitz. Seth Asofsky. Dave Saul.

Chances are, years from now, when we reminisce about high school, we’ll talk about our senior year. But. senior year was not our only year here. We were also juniors, and though few would care to admit, sophomores. We laid the foundation for the final year during those first two years. We joined new clubs and held small fundraisers in preparation for the big events. We almost didn’t start our high ;! school careers on time. The schools were shut that summer after the State Supreme Court declared the old method of school funding through ' property taxes unconstitutional and an income tax had been defeated. Schools reopened when the tax was finally passed. We were all allowed to take elective English courses because the scores way to the top . on a ninth grade aptitude test were lost. Four portable classrooms arrived months after they were scheduled to. Final exams were suddenly rein- stituted and given on half days in June. Theresa Toto led our losing float at Homecoming. Debbie Cavanaugh, President, Joanne Field, Vice Presi- dent, and Leslie Scardino, Treasurer, led the class council. Seven coaches resigned during the course of the year, but we still managed to win the Jay Doyle Trophy. Drama Club presented “Carousel” and “Arsenic and Old Lace.” The ski club flew to Utah Easter vacation, but the trip was nearly cancelled because of uncharacteristically poor snow con- ditions in the west. Jimmy Carter, an unknown peanut farmer from Georgia, climbed to the Presidency. He urged us to conserve energy that winter and mandated the lowering of thermostats. The Meadow- lands sports complex opened in E. Rutherford and gave us two profes- sional teams, football’s Giants and soccer’s Cosmos. We fared better in Homecoming our junior year, as Mary Dawson led our winning float. Seniors just had to settle for second best. We elected Robyn Johnson president, Jocelyn Martz vice president, Sharon Florek secretary, Judy Ancona treasurer, and Jeff Abramowitz parliamentarian. The class held a faculty-student donkey basketball game and sold T-shirts to raise money for the Prom. 135 ASD-BRE e n :i orss e n :l o r s s •? n x o r s s e n i o r s s e n i o r s s e n :L o r s s e n i o v s s •? n :i o r s s e n i o r s s e n :i o r s s e n i o r is e n i o r s s e ri i ELIZABETH BISOGNO DENIS BLEWITT LISA BLUM SCOTT BODE MICHAEL BODZAS JUDY BOICE KENDALL BONAMICI LARISA BONDY CYNTHIA BONGIOVANNI Color Guard 1.2.3: Winter Track Mgr. 3.

A member of EBHS’s Class of '65. he was both the youngest person and the first alumnus to be named to that post. Mr. George Tardiff was hired as the new varsity football coach, and school spirit soared as the team turned in a winning seasdn. In an ef- fort to reduce the number of cuts, homeroom was shortened and lunch periods were lengthened. The school year was lengthened, too. after we missed nine days from heavy snow- storms. In response to colleges' cries that students don’t know how to write, we had to fulfill a new composition requirement. Unless we got an “A” after one semester of college com- position. we had to take a second course. A new law enabled us to ob- 136 SENIORS tain our driving permits at age 16l 2 instead of 17. but we needed to finish our range assignments first. Schedul- ing was tight with sophomores and juniors taking driver ed. simultaneous- ly. so many of us didn't get to drive that much sooner. The Student Union presented the Faculty Student Follies and Drama Club performed “Up the Down Stair- case and Fiddler on the Roof. Mayor William Fox. in honor of the latter play, proclaimed an EBHS Drama Club Day. German Club and German Honor Society hosted a group of exchange students from Westerburg, Germany, while a revitalized American Field Service readied plans for future domestic and European exchanges. This time, the ski club trekked to Quebec for Easter break. New Jersey gained the country s attention when the first gambling casino opened in Atlantic City. This new industry was heralded as the solu- tion to the once popular beach re- sort’s financial woes. Basketball's New York Nets also migrated to the garden state and took up residence in the new Rutgers Athletic Center. The Institute for Political and Legal Education class sent a record number of delegates to its annual Model Con- gress and the orchestra and chorus continued to win top honors in all- state competition. We were so busy, we lost all track of time. And now. we. like our parents, wonder where the years have gone. i en i o rsse n i o r s s -? n i o r s b e n iorss e n i o r s b e n :i a r ss e n i o r s b t? n :L o r s s e? n i a r s b e n i o rsse n i o r s s e n i o r s s •? n i NICHOLAS CANALE Not pictured KATHLEEN CANTATORE Not pictured JAMES CAPOROSSI AV 1.2.3 Amateur Radio Club 2.3 JOHN CAPRARO DANA CARBONE Not pictured JOAN CARITO Color guard 2.3.

The fancy stitching, snug fit. and straight leg styling have had enormous appeal. Despite their relatively high price tag. they have slowly seemed to rival the old standby Levis. A practically neces- sary accompaniment to these pants are the shoes known as “Candies” . . . or a reasonable copy of them. • � KITSY DUFFELL Not Pictured.

Last year, “Hollyrock ’78,” painted in large letters on the wall outside the audi- torium, brought attention to an old pastime. It was sandblasted off just before the Class of '78 graduated, but the next day the wall was repainted with “Hollyrock ’79.” “Seniors rule,” “Class of ’80,” “EBHS is the greatest” . . . are among the sayings that grace any and all available space. EBHS graffiti will live on in memory even as layers of paint conceal the poetry. GLENN EVANS Ski club 1.2 ROBERT EVANS STEVE EVANS Fencing club 1.2.3; Philos. Club 2.3.

Ms. Magistro started several new programs, including holding sessions during gym classes to in- form seniors about college and vocational training opportunities. She also initiated a formal news- letter, called “Counselor Com- munique,” to sent to parents to describe the services of the de- partment. Another of her accom- plishments was the development of the Guidance Advisory Council, composed of students, teachers, parents and counselors, and charged with the responsibility of assessing and making suggestions for upgrading guidance services.

Nanu, nanu” A new TV show that has won the chuckles of young and old alike is about an alien named “Mork from the planet “Ork.” It sounds like it could be Satur- day morning cartoon, but “Mork and Mindy” seems to be a real winner. Friday morning bus rides to school are usually filled with raves about the outrageously funny way Mork acted the night before. Mork. played by Robin Williams, has many strange hab- its, including drinking through his index finger, eating plastic, and getting drunk on ginger ale. Robin Williams is an excellent comedian and has a great deal of promise as a big star in the future. 144 SENIORS e n :i. o r s s 0 n i. o t' s s 0 n :i. o r b b e n :L o r s s 0 n :i o r s s 0 n i o r b b 0 n i o r s s 0 n :L o t' b s e n i. o r s s 0 n i o r s s 0 n :i. o r b b 0 n :i. o r s «i 0 n i ( CHRISTINE HERBERT Bio.

Perhaps it is the broad spectrum of music that accounts for its wide appeal. There’s a type of music to satisfy any listen- ing taste. The most popular music here is probably rock. To many, the definition of rock is Led Zeppelin or the Rolling Stones. These people prefer the sounds of heavy metal guitars and hard-edged voices that can only be heard when the amplifiers are cranked up all the way. To others, rock means the Grateful Dead, whose carefree style provides them the ultimate in listening pleasure. To the fans of local New Jersey rock, Bruce Springsteen is the best thing to happen to music since the invention of the guitar. Aside from its diversity, another key aspect of the contemporary music scene is its constant expansion. New groups are always on the horizon waiting to be discovered, With each new group comes a different style of music. “A rolling stone gathers no moss.” 147 HUT-KLE eniorsse n i o r s s e n iorsse ri i o r s s e n i o rsse n i o r s s e n :i o r s «i (? n :L o r s s e n i o rs s e n :i o r s s e n i o rs s e n i orss e n i o rWILLIAM DAVID KLOOS Bill Soccer 2.

Each year, the hall has been crowded with wall-to-wall people. During the course of the day, most seniors would manage to spend some free time leaning against the great walls. This year, there was a change. Some seniors decided to relocate to Building 8, even though there were some protests. There are some advantages to the change. Lockers are closer so it’s not necessary to rush from locker to Senior Hall within the five-minute passing time. There are also some problems. Building 8 has more than its fair share of traffic jams and the seniors in the halls only add to the congestion. What’s the ideal spot for seniors? Maybe each class in the future will have its own special place instead of following tradition. Seniors resist as Mrs. Triozzi tries to force them out of their crowded hall and into homeroom. 148 SENIORS seniorss e n i o r s s 0 n i o r s s e n :L o rs s e n i o T' s s 0 n i o r s s 0 n :i o r s s 0 n i o T's s 0 n i a r s s 0 n :i o r s s 0 n iorss© n i orss 0 n i MELANIE KUPCHYNSKY Concert mistress State Orchestra.

Let's face it — even if the food served in the cafeteria had tasted good, we would still have gone out to lunch. Escaping from the noisy, crowded cafeteria is a tradition which seniors cherish. An official out-to-lunch program was talked about last year, but it never materialized. So, we went out anyway. We weren’t supposed to, but no one really seemed to mind. We squeezed whomever we could fit into our cars and brought back french fries and milkshakes to those left behind. Eating out did cost a bit more than eating in school, but it was well worth the added expense. After all, we could recognize what we were biting into. - e n :i o os s 0 n :l o r $ s 0 n 1 o r s s 0 n :l o r s s 0 n 1 o r s s 0 n :l q r s s 0 n :i o r s s 0 n :l o r s r 0 n 1 o r s s 0 n :i. o r s s 0 n :i. o t' s s 0 n :l o r s s 0 n j.

But for many of us. that’s only the preliminary excite- ment. After much wheedling (“I’ll go to the store for you’’), reassuring (“I will be careful”), and explaining (“You won’t have to pay for the bus”), some of us got our own cars. Now. having a car means more than always having a ride. It means not having to borrow Dad’s keys. It means not having to put in a vehicle request for a certain evening or agreeing to put in three dollars worth of gas for a five minute trip. It means never needing a dime to call home for a ride and it makes McDonald’s so much easier to get to. It means you can keep your date because no one else can take the car, “Just this one night, that’s all. It means FREEDOM! Unfortunately, there is another side to the coin. Insurance costs are high, especially for “unmarried males under 25.” And, since many of us cannot afford to buy a new car, we acquire the gas-guzzling vintages that are really expensive to run and require lots of repairs to keep them running. No matter, we manage to get by. 152 SENIORS . 11 i j o r s : e i vi. o i : ■ : e n :i. o r s s © n :i. o r s e r i i o r s s © 11 :i. a r s s e r� :i o r ■•! •: ? n :i. o v- s s © n i. a v s i; © n i«■ r : ri :i o r s e n i. o r s «r e rv :i GREGORY MILLER HUGH MILLER Basketball 1,2.3; Golf Stu.

PAUL ORLANDO Curly Locks A year or so ago, if someone were to say “I’m getting a perm, the response would probably be, “No- body gets a perm anymore. But. that was a year ago and the tables have turned. Now, lots of people are having their hair permed, even boys. This overwhelming trend is ap- parant in various styles. Some are quite attractive while some are quite outlandish. The perms range from tight curls to loose curls and soft waves to frizzy. This hairstyle did cost $25.00 to $45.00, but it was so easy to take care of, no one seemed to mind! © n i orss e n i a r s s e n i o r s s e n i o r s s e n :i o r s s e n :L o r s s e n :i o r s s © i“i :L o r s s © n :i. o r s s © n i o r s s e n i o r s r © n :i. o r s @ n i. o M7A ELIZABETH OROSS Liz Ski Club 1.2.

JACALYN PECK ETS Makes A Mess Most of us are relieved at having an opportunity to repeat the SAT’s, but we don’t feel the same way when we have to repeat the New Jersey Test of Minimum Basic Skills. In April of 1978, all of the Class of ’79 took the test which was designed to determine whether students met a basic level in English and math. Educational Testing Service (ETS), the firm located in Princeton which designed and scored the tests, had lost the scores of 200 EBHS students with initials from F through L. Con- sequently, those of us who were in that unlucky group had to repeat the tests in September. Fortunately, ETS did not lose the results of the retests and most of us were told something we had known all along: We can read, add and sub- tract. i en i o r s s e n :i. o r «i s e n i o r r 3en :i o r s se n i o r s s en :L o r s 3 en i o rs sen i o r s s e 11 i. o r s 5 en :i o r' s s 0 n i o r s 5 en i. o r s s 0 n i c SANDRA PELLIGRA Sandy FTA 1.2.

This was reflected in the chang- ing dress of most students on campus as the “Annie Hall look” took over. Layered cloth- ing, long flared skirts, vests worn over belted blousons, boots and hats typified this popular style. RICHARD ROMER Butch Drama Club 2.3; Folio 2.

By then, they knew who the easy teachers were and how much, or how little work was required to “get by. The final year wasn’t so easy, however, for those who took advanced placement courses. Most colleges would grant students advanced standing in a particular subject if they scored at least a 3 out of a possible 5 on A.P. exam. 160 SENIORS :� n i o r 15 s 0 n i. o t' s s e n :L o r ir s 0n i o r s s e n :L o T' s s e n i o r s 0 n i o i' s s e n :L o r s r e n i o r s s 0 n :i. o r s s 0 n :i. orsis 0 n i. o r s s e n :L o r RICHARD SCHUMANN Football 1.2.3; Stu.

And, since it would take a miracle to have someone just hand us the money we needed, the only choice we had was to get a job. So, off we went, usually to the Brunswick Square Mall as the first stop, with the hope that we could find fortune, if not fame, and be hired by one of the stores. If we were lucky enough to land a job, we soon found ourselves anxious for payday to come so we could get all of the things we needed and still have enough money left to use our employees’ ' discount. n i. orssen i o r s sen :i o rssen i a r ssen :i o rssgn i a rssen :i (.1 rssen i a rsi: en i a rssen i o rs er 1 :L o rssen :i. o rs sen i q j DAWN SYPNIEWSKI NANCY SYROKWASH Winter track, Let. 1.2: Spring Tr Let. 1.2: Cross-country Let. 2; Tennis Team 1; Ski Club 1,2,3; Booster Club 3; Var.

The floor, which cost the Board of Education $3500, was installed during the summer. There was such a tremendous demand for the dance course, teacher Laura Chelli- Thibodeau was able to offer only two sections of full-year dance instruction. The rest of the day was devoted to semester courses. Whatever the length of the course, we appreciated the resilience of the new wood floor. s en i orss e n :i. a r s s e n :i. o r s se n :L o r is se n :i. o r s sen :i. o r s is en i o r is s (•? n :L o r s s e n i o r s sen :i o r s s en i o r is is en :i o r s is e n : ELIZABETH TOTH Liz Pavas 3; Choir 3.

They make many standardized tests, but this is the one that counts the most. This one test has the power to decide futures - colleges can say board scores aren't everything - but most school really do care about the results. Each year, high school students nation-wide spend hectic weeks in the fall and spring practicing for the grueling three-hour test. Some try to prepare themselves for the ordeal weeks in advance by taking an evening SAT review course while others cram on their own the week before. Quite a few don’t study at all. and just ’wing it’. The worst time comes the Friday night before the SAT is given. Most kids begin to experience a feeling of impending doom. They try to get to bed early, but sleep doesn’t come easily to many. Some worry about remem- bering to bring their admission ticket. After a fitful night, the ‘victims’ arrive at the test center, find their friends, and pretend they're not nervous. They start the test. Halfway through, heads start to pound and eyes hurt. By the next to last section, all anyone wants to do is go home. Do colleges ever wonder if scores would be higher if the test was shorter and started at a more human hour? 167 VID-WOF s g n :i. o rsse n i o r s s e n .i. orss e n :L orsse n i o r s © n :L o r s s e n i o r s s g n :L o r s s © n i o t' s s © n :i. o r ; s © n i o r s s e n i. o r « s © n ERIC WOLFGANG Chem Club 1; Chess Club 1; Ger.

IN MEMORIAM To Our Friends Donald Heitz James Jablonowski Timothy Meade Emerald dreams The end of a school year is always an opportune time to examine our dreams and determine our direction in life. If the end of this year also marks the end of high school, it be- comes even more essential to analyze and review our past aspirations and reflect on future goals. We can admire our victories in achieving seemingly impossible dreams and wince at our futile at- tempts to turn daydreams into reality. We can delight in the fulfillment of our joyful dreams and feel disil- lusioned with our chosen dreams of success. We can celebrate with others the triumph of our shared dreams and curse the setbacks caused by our threatening nightmares. We were both successful and unfortunate and by looking back we can finally realize what we did that was right and learn from what was wrong. With this in mind, we can then turn our attention to the future and establish a new set of dreams. Our dreams of the past were our crutch and delight as we remembered carefree days and attempted to for- get the major responsibilities of the present. Somehow, past events seemed brighter and happier in re- collection than they were in reality and we spent hours wishing we could turn the clock back. Sometimes all we wanted was the chance to set things straight. It would have been great if we could have retaken a test, remembered a friend’s birthday or not have said that first nasty thought that came to our minds. However, we had to settle for just learning from past mistakes. ’’Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken winged bird that cannot fly.” Our impossible dreams gave us in- centive and kept us going as we strived to fulfill these lofty goals. Frustration was, of course, our con- stant companion, but the elation of gaining just a small foothold made it all worthwhile. Unrealistic at times, we still fought and struggled our way to the top, devoting hours of dedica- tion and hard work, and found that some of our impossible dreams were not so impossible after all. We did not always accomplish what we wanted to, but we rationalized that things would not have worked out anyway. Our colorful daydreams provided hours of entertainment in some of our less interesting classes. Staring out of windows and into space to the accompaniment of a droning voice, we dreamed of how we wanted life to be and what the future might hold. We imagined life as a celebrity, star athlete, or president of the United States. Sometimes our dreams were simpler and more practical as we dreamed of playing on the school team, being president of our class or performing in the school play. Unfor- tunately. there were also the times when our daydreams caused us to come down to earth with a hard jolt as reality would eventually hit home. Those rare moments, when with a feeling of “deja-vu” we saw our day- dreams actually come true, were worth the dejection. Our nightmares proved to be ob- stacles to our success and happiness. They haunted our days as we tried hard to repress them. Not only were they unbeatable, but they forced us to spend days deep in a depressive state that seemed to last an eternity.

Barbara Tagerty. Keith Marrapodi and Janice Rothbard study while the minutes tick by. Moments of relaxation speed a normal school day. Dom Chirichella and friend rest on a bench. 215 CLOSING The responsibility and pressure brought on by schoolwork, parents and peers bogged us down and only a deeply ingrained sense of persever- ance prevailed and allowed us to weather these emotional storms. While we were discouraged by our nightmares, our dreams of joy lightened our days and kept us going. There were so many things that we looked forward to and they were all within our grasp. Receiving our driver’s license, attending the Senior Prom and mastering a new language helped make us happy and fortify our sagging morale and ego. We applied ourselves to the fullest potential to realize our dreams of suc- cess. We understood their importance and by practicing our musical instru- ments, learning to type, studying electronics, taking college prep courses and working out for the foot- ball team we prepared ourselves for future ambitions. Throughout the year, all steps taken, decisions made and actions completed had the sole purpose of bringing us closer to these high ideals. Good jobs, scholarships, college acceptances and awards were . . . with a dream, at pleasure, ... go forth and conquer a crown . . .” rewards for our hard work. The unity felt in the school was the result of our shared dreams. Since many of us had the same goals and desired the same things out of life, we were able, in times of need, to sup- port each other. If by chance, we alone pulled ahead of the crowd and met with victory, we gained a nev� giddy sense of elitism. If we failed we drowned our sorrow in the collec tive sympathy of our friends. Some how, defeat was not quite so trauma tic when others were involved a; when we had to handle it all alone. Our dreams of the future, which once seemed so far away, now an just around the corner. These dream? are the most important to us because while we can not change the past, the future is ours to mold. Using the knowledge acquired throughout this year we are better prepared for meet ing and conquering our goals. By re membering how we mastered oui impossible dreams, lived through our nightmares and attained success, we can hope for a brighter future anc the ultimate fulfillment of all oui dreams. Farewell to you and the youth I have spent with you. It was but yesterday we met in a dream. You have sung to me in my aloneness and I of your longings have built a tower in the sky. But now our sleep has fled and our dream is over, and it is no longer dawn. The noontide is upon us and our half waking has turned to a fuller day, and we must part. If in the twilight of memory we should meet once more, we shall speak again together and you shall sing to me a deeper song. And if our hands should meet in another dream we shall build another tower in the sky. -Kahili Gibran (“The Prophet”) 216 CLOSING We could have danced and danced all night It was finally here—the evening we had looked forward to throughout our high school years. We danced filled with enthusiasm and excitement. We were at the Prom, in spite of all the problems we had had with the arrange- ments. In October, we had been disappointed by the Chateau which claimed it was not able to accommodate our class. The prom had to be held on a Thursday rather than a Friday because we had to make our reservations so late. We still insisted on looking on the bright side.Thanks to all the fund raising events, the prom bids were a low $22. We felt a sight of relief when we were finally asked, or brought ourselves to ask someone to the big event. After we bought our gowns and ordered our tuxedos, May 31 was suddenly here, bringing with it plenty of sun- shine in the midst of what had seemed like weeks of rain. Many of us stayed home from school to get a last min- ute tan or to spend a good part of the day getting our hair done. At 8 p.m., the Prom began. We sat with our friends as we dined on prime rib, although many of us were not hungry because of early cocktail parties and sheer ner- vousness. Eventually, we were able to relax and enjoy ourselves on the dance floor to the music of the Stan Allen Orchestra. Before we knew it, it was 1 a.m. and that special evening was over. It was an evening of fun and laughter. But, we couldn’t help feeling a little sorrowful knowing that our Senior year was coming to a close. - 218 SUPPLEMENT Softball team has strong hitting record Inexperience and youth didn’t deter the Girls Softball team this season. The team got off to a slow start but finished strong, posting a 10-12 rec- ord. Many of the girls in the starting lineup were underclassmen yet the team held its own against tough opponents. The hitting attack was paced by junior catcher outfielder Mary Doherty (Best Offensive Player), senior shortstop Marie Donzella (Best Defensive Player), and sophomore pitchei Robyn Bourque. Bourque and Marcia Rocha pitched very well all season long and had some help from first year player, senior, Tracey Meade (M.V.P.). Hitting strength was largely responsible for the team’s strong finish. During the second half of the season, the team played .500 ball and had a de- cisive 11-2 victory over a very tough Sayreville team. On third base, senior Tracy Meade demonstrates the skills of the Most Valuable Player. Eyes riveted, sophomore Lisa Manfreda is confident the team will win. Coach Sonia Regalado and Varsity Softball Team The textbook technique displayed by Judy Flynn explains the reason she was chosen All-County 2nd Baseman by the Star Ledger. Power at the plate is one of the reasons Marie Donzella was chosen the MCCA Coaches All-County Shortstop. Consistent hitting by Mary Doherty placed her on the MCCA Coaches All-County Team.

This year’s team was a young one, field- ing at one time as many as seven underclassmen, but youth did not mean lack of talent. The Bears did a lot better on the field than had been ex- pected . The outfield was led by All-Conference Mike Thompson, who led the team and tied for the coun- ty lead in home runs with 5. All-County Frank Riepl, whose .358 led the team, and Charlie Fitzgerald, whose 10 doubles led the county, rounded out the rest of the starting outfield. In the infield, Bill Givas and Joe Cuff platooned at first base, with Al Tischauser, Chris Dimuro and Ricky Horn at second base, shortstop and third base respectively. The catching duties were handled by All-Con- ference Eric Hansen. Hansen won the baseball team’s Most Outstanding Player Award. The pitch- ers were led by Frank Toth, who had a phenomenal 6-0 record. He also had 13 strikeouts in one game. Ken Skirka had a 5-3 record but his greatest achievement of the season was a no-hitter against Highland Park. John Manfreda and Glenn Hoover were the other pitchers. The junior varsity team, coached by Tom Hock- enjos, finished with a 7-11 record. The wide batting stance ot Charlie Fitzgerald is professional. He watches the ball go up the middle for a base hit. To hit .358 you have to be a great hitter. Frank Riepl watches one of his hits drop for a single. With a high-kick windup, Glenn Hoover rares back to fire the ball. 222 SUPPLEMENT — -■ ■-----------■ q Varsity Carteret Edison J.F.

The team placed second in the conference and first at the Conference Relays. Several records were broken. The new record holders are: Debbie Anania in the shot put and jave- lin; Amy Weiss in the high jump; Joanne Meyers in the discus; and Keri Varrato in the mile. The team is losing very few girls to graduation, but the loss of Debbie Anania and Robin Johnson is definitely detrimental. 224 SUPPLEMENT GIRLS TRACK 225 Bears track team dominates county If you had to describe the East Brunswick High School Track Team in a single word, that word would be “awesome.” The Bears became the first team in history to capture the County, County Relay, MCAC Conference, and the MCAC Relay Championships in a single season. The Bears easily outdistanced all dual meet opponents, finishing with an 11-0 season record and not allowing any team within 30 points. The key to the Bears' suc- cess was depth. The team was led by Joe Fischer, A.J. Ricci, and Bill MacNiven in the sprints; Scott Meredith, Jeff Ben and John Zierdt in the hurdles; Harold Zierdt, Jerry Tamburro, Stew Fisher, Doug Coltharp and Larry Hutson in the distance depart- ment; and Ken Thelmore, Dom Chirichella, Kevin McCallen, and Mark Franke in the field. The team had a wealth of individual talent evi- denced by the fact that an amazing 19 school rec- ords were shattered. Setting individual records were Jeff Ben in the intermediate hurdles, Joe Fischer in the 100 yard, 200 meter, and 220 yard dashes, Bill MacNiven in the 400 meter and 440 yard dashes, Scott Meredith in the intermediate hurdles, and Ken Thelmore in the shot and discus. The Bears also set numerous relay records in- cluding the 880 mile, sprint medley, 1600 meter, 330 int. hurdles, shotput (2 3 man), pole vault (3 man), and discus relays. The runners were not alone in receiving honors — head coach Dud Tighe was named MCAC and Middlesex County Coach of the Year. 226 SUPPLEMENT E.B.

The team, under the direction of Coach Dino Jasper, had difficulty in measuring up to the high expectations although it outlasted almost all opposing squads. In fact, in their defense of last year's MCAC title, the Bears were seriously contested by only two other schools, Madison Central and Edison. Unfortunately, at season’s end, the conference title was surrendered to a relentless Madison Central team and the county title was relinquished to Edison. When considering individual performances, the name Corey Temple invariably appears. In the eyes of many Middlesex County golf ex- perts, Temple is quite possibly the best player in the area. He is also the first East Brunswick golfer in recent memory to be invited to the state finals. w E.B. 210 216 228 210 211 229 198 225 237 219 208 4 227 216 209 233 206 211 206 206 228 4 GOLF Carteret Sayreville Madison Cent J.F.

Tennis team competes in 2 tournaments With six lettermen returning, the Tennis team was looking to gain number one in the conference. In preseason scrimmages, the Bears defeated two perennially strong teams, South River and High- land Park. Their main competition, Cedar Ridge and J.P. Stevens, started the season with a lot of experience, and the Bears had to settle for third in the conference at 18-6. Most valuable player Michael Krieger, who made both All-County and the All-Conference teams, led the team at first singles and his 22 victories for the season give him the most wins (62) in the Bears history. Norm Munk- holm, who last year became the first freshman to letter in tennis, continued to gain valuable ex- perience by playing at second singles. At third singles, Jeff Abramowitz established a record 14 6-0 sets. The doubles players were frequently rotated as Coach Bill Pellagrino paired teams using seniors Ted Kesler and Scott Plevy, junior Rich Abramowitz and sophomores Sandy Lesser and Brent Spivack. Poor draws knocked the Bears out early in both the county and state tournaments. The seventh seeded Bears split sets in three matches but could manage only one win against last year’s division champs, Hunterdon Central, in the first round of the state tournament. In the county tournament the Bears proved ineffective against Metuchen after receiving byes into the quarterfinals. Tennis Hamilton East Carteret Madison J.F.

The festival featured various works of art by all grade levels of East Brunswick schools. On dis- play were paintings, drawings, sculptures, jewelry, metal work, and wood work. Musical entertainment was pro- vided by the elementary school choruses and the Dance Band. Demonstrations by foods, metals, woods, child- care students, and the gymnastic team were presented. The Mall Show, which ran consecutively on May 10, 11, and 12, had a great outcome. It was held at the Brunswick Square Mall where there were over a thousand pieces of artwork done by high school stu- dents for people to enjoy and buy. The show displayed photography, paintings, drawings, ceramics, interior de- sign, and jewelry. Students demonstrated jewelry making and the use of the potters wheel. The sale of the artwork was quite profitable since it made over $1000. A percentage of that money goes towards the Art Stu- dents Fund presented at the Senior Awards Assembly as a scholarship. 230 SUPPLEMENT ARTS FESTIVAL HAYfi B1HS DEMONSTRATIONS EXHIBITS FINE ARTS DANCE INDUSTRIAL ART HOME ECONOMICS DRAMA GYMNASTICS MUSIC FOLK MUSIC ROCK GROUPS DANCE BAND CHORAL CONCERTS H EBHS 1 til S FESTIVALS 231 A dramatic solo by assistant director Suzanne Fidler to the tune of “Fantasy” is one of the hits of the show.

There were 28 dances on the program. The 40 people who participated spent countless hours after school working on choreography and rehearsing, aided by director Laura Chelli-Thibodeau and assistant director Suzanne Fidler. The funds from the show are used to provide scholarships for dancers who wish to pursue their education in dance. In a moment of glory, the entire cast takes a bow during the finale.

Janice Mellema entertains the group. Hard work and dedication made the softball marathon a success. Barbara Yacovelli counts the proceeds for the scholarship fund. On May 11 and 12 some concerned students held a 24- hour softball marathon in memory of their friends Don Heitz and Jim Jablonowski. Barbara Yacovelli, Sue Kadubic and Cathy McCracken worked very hard to make the mara- thon a success. Two rock bands volunteered to play before the game started at the East Brunswick Baseball Managers Associa- tion Showcase Field at 1 a.m. The teams, which con- sisted of 16 people, were required to raise $50.00 before they could play. Each of the 24 teams played for about two hours. On Saturday night, Mr. Ray Beier, Mr. Sandy Hor- vath and the Girls’ Track Team played and completed the last hour of the marathon. The event raised more than $2000 for the Heitz-Jablon- owski Scholarship Fund. 234 SUPPLEMENT “The teacher who walks in the shadow of the tem- ple, among his followers, gives n rather of his faitH and his lovingness. If he is indeed wise he does not bid you enter the house of his wisdom, but rather leads you to the threshold of your own mind.” THE PROPHET, Kahlil Gibran Awards recognize seniors’ achievements For the 18th consecutive year, Assistant Principal Carlo Guidoboni was master of ceremonies at the Senior Awards Assembly. Awards are given in recognition of outstanding achievement in all areas of school pro- grams. Many of the awards provide substantial sums of money to help finance future educations. A new award this year is the Ronald Gonier Memorial Award pre- sented by the Faculty Council. It was presented to Nan- cy Oscar, one of Mr. Gonier's students. A total of more than 70 scholarships were given to the Class of ’79. Awards are given out by Joann Magistro. Guidance Chairperson; Elliot Taubenslag. Drama Club advisor; and John Mansfield, Principal, to Nancy Oscar. Jean George and valedictorian Jeff Abramowitz. 236 SUPPLEMENT Bears earn Doyle award for athletic excellence Deserving athletes received varsity letters and various sports awards at the annual dinner held at the Ramada Inn. Mike Thompson was awarded a $1,000 Booster Club Scholarship. The “Big E” award, given to the most outstanding male and female Senior athletes, was pre- sented to Joe Fischer and Debbie Anania. A $250 PBA and Golden Bears’ Scholarship was awareded to Senior Stewart Fisher. The Heitz-Jablonowski Scholar- ship was presented to Juniors Scott Franklin and Keri Varrato. Kathy Barabas and Glen Marshall received the Gary Watson Award for the most outstanding Sopho- mores. The Jimmy J award, named for James Jablonow- ski, was awarded to Sophomore Steve Marks for his per- formance on track. For the fourth consecutive year, EBHS also received the Jay Doyle Award for overall excellence in conference competition out of eleven Middlesex County schools. AWARDS 237 Seniors graduate under sunny skies The field was packed with friends and families, impatient- ly waiting to see the one person they came to watch. It might seem that graduations are alike, that it is hard to dif- ferentiate one class from another. But, the Class of '79 will definitely remember being the first to wear styrofoam caps and reusable gowns, which the students kept. Grad- uation ended with no one getting injured from flying mortar boards. Over the years many things have changed at E.B.H.S., but graduation still remains a last bastion of tradition. The class valedictorians, Jeff Abramowitz, Lisa Fisher, and Cory Lessner, addressed the crowd, commenting on the past as well as contemplating the future. Once again, graduation was a time for seniors to say farewell to the school and the teachers, and to look to- ward the future.
