HOMECOMING Homecoming 1980 was a day full of suspense. Everyone dreams of a beautiful day with sunny skies and a cool breeze. Instead, we woke up to torrential rain accompanied by thun- der and lightning. As the morning progressed, we were un- sure if we would have our homecoming festivities that day. But when the kickoff time arrived we knew that Homecoming 1980 had begun in spite of the weather. The theme was “’Heroes”’. and the Seniors came away with top honors with their float, “Super Heroes”. The Senior Hall decorations, depicting ‘“Tarzan,”’ also took first place. Dawn Disporto reigned graciously as Homecoming Queen escorted by Homecoming King Todd Paulus. The couple rode in style, in a red Corvette. Before a somewhat drenched but enthusiastic stand full of fans, the undefeated Bears continued their winning ways by defeating JF Kennedy 22-7. The lack of sunshine on Homecoming afternoon was made up for by the shining spirit of all who attended — students, teachers, and alumni. 22

ROST WALLEY On October 3, 45 Humanities students started out on what was to be one of the most enriching intense class trips they had ever attended. This trip was to Frost Valley in the Catskill Mountains. According to teacher Mr. Louis Chalupa the purpose of the weekend was “to build a group spirit and have fun while working together to solve problems and build cooperation.” The trip was a great success. Many of the students knew only a few people when they left for the trip, but by the time they returned home, they had many friends. The activities the students participated in were ones they had never tried before, such as scaling a chimney, going on a hayride in the rain, and making apple cider from handpicked apples. The feelings of all who attended are summarized best by Denise Tremmel, “Frost Valley is what one makes of it. You have the opportunity to share and learn a great deal about yourself and others but you must give in order to receive. The best part of the trip is when you have to take chances. Though there exists no danger, you must conquer your inner fears and possibly have an experience that will remain with you for the rest of your life. But do not go because of what | feel, go for yourself, discover the beauty of your surroundings and experience!’
