Ellen Haskins La Femme Fantastique Mrs. Fleming: Vital, Witty, Delightful The spark that lights the class of ' 80 . Mme. Fleming; the name denotes a re- spected teacher and admired advisor of the senior class. As an exquisite “professeur du francais”, it is not surprising to find that altruism, kindness and sincerity are not “foreign” to her. The charming wit and vi- tality she possesses illuminate her class- room. We proudly dedicate Aegis ’80 to re- ciprocate for the positive contribution she has made in our lives. Many of us remember Diana: others never knew her. Those of us who do recall her remem- ber a sweet, quiet red-haired girl. To me, she was a good friend: we went from baby dolls to Barbie dolls together, and shared the gossip of other neighborhood kids. In Junior High, we both learned of cancer-and death. We never made it to High School together. Few ever had the chance to know Diana as I had and what she was capable of doing for others by giv- ing of herself. I remember and I knew a part of her. Diana was taken into the hands of another but she still remains within me always. We all know that this world needs more people like Diana Lofgren. Laurie Mac Farlane Ah! little at best can all our hopes avail us To lift this sorrow, or cheer us, when in the dark, Unwilling, alone we embark, And the things we have seen and have known and have heard of fail us.

In his second season, Coach Coburn guided his team to a 9 - 7 - 2 record. Much of the suc- cess can be attributed to co-captain Jon Wilk’s league leading scoring and co-captain Pat See- ly’s leadership on de- fense. After a slow 3-5 start, Mike O’Shaughnessy joined the team in goal and helped lead the Spartans to a 6 - 2 - 2 finish. Victories against Amherst, Agawam and Tech kept the team in contention until the fi- nal game. Two hard fought battles with league champion Greenfield each ended in 3-3 deadlocks. On the season’s final day, a heartbreaking 1-0 loss to South Hadley put the coveted title perman- antly out of reach. The soccer banquet proved to be successful and entertaining for both parents and play- ers. Jon Wilk and Pat Seely shared MVP hon- ors while sophomore Tom Hanna received the Most Improved Player Award and will be counted on to control the halfback slot in years to come.

The final record was 6-4. First, the good news: In victories over Ludlow (28- 0) and Drury (2 7-6), the team looked like Dobias’ teams of yore. The Spar- tans also defeated Subur- ban league Co-Champs Greenfield (14-7). In these games, the offense performed with consum- mate ease and defense was stingy with yardage. The other half of the Spartan victories were all thrillers. In a victory over Amherst (19-12), the Spartan “D” held the two leading scorers in the league to only one TD be- tween them. The second game was a close decision over Northampton, with the defense again holding on to a slim one point vic- tory. The final victory of the season showed the epitome of Spartan pride. Trailing 1 7-0 at the end of the first quarter, the Spar- tans began to come back, connecting on an eighty- six yard touchdown pass from Mark Blanchard to Mike Sullivan. When the Spartan team returned to the field for the second half it looked like a true powerhouse. The offensive line, made up of Center, Kurt Schuhlen, Guards Tom Mongeon and Keith Schuhlen (All-Suburban League), Tackles Mark Umland and Keith Parker, and the Ends John Blan- chard and Mike Sullivan, began to open the holes for the Spartan backs Jeff Starr, Neil Bradstreet and MVP John Salvetti. Mid- way through the 3rd quar- ter, Mark Blanchard was injured and sophomore OB Gary Lombardo led the Spartans to the tieing and winning touchdowns. And now for the bad news. In the opening game against Chicopee, the Spartans lost a tough game (7-6). In the last half of the season, the Spar- tans, discouraged by in- juries, lost games to South Hadley (14-7) and Minne- chaug (6-0). In the final game, against Longmea- dow, the Spartans were routed 21-6, closing out the season with a 6-4 record. Ahh - Ahh Coach . . . Did you make kickline?!?!

Under the leadership of captains Ellen Has- kins, Diana Robins, and Betsy Wadden, the E. L. Girl’s Swim Team fin- ished first in their divi- sion. Diana Robbins as- tonished fans with an outstanding perfor- mance which brought her over her previous school record by a num- ber of points. She fin- ished second in the state. Kathy Wiezbicki, another record setter, slashed the 50 yd. free record previously held by Jill Wilder while Sue Wadden held her record in the 100 yd. breast- stroke finishing second in Western Mass. The team showed great de- termination and sports- manship throughout the season and every girl displayed great im- provement.

Led by Captain Dave Gelinas and Valley Wheel champ, Rick Hundert- mark, the Harriers ended their season with a 5-5 re- cord. Newcomers Jim Lo- vatt and Scott Haraty proved to be valuable as- sets throughout the sea- son. This was the first season in which girls participated on the team. The girls were Kathy Kurman, Glenda Bedard and Kris Hagstrom. The highlights of the season included the teams participation in the Valley Wheel meet . .

After heart- breaking losses to Chicopee Comp, and Agawam, the girls bounced back with come-from-behind victories over Division 1 teams Ludlow and Classical. Lead by high-scoring Lynn Hedin, versatile goal- ie Reenie Moras, and fullback Liz Belch, the Spartans went on to win the Kurty Di- vision title and de- feated Drury in the Western Mass. Quar- ter finals 2 - 1 . Despite losing strong starters Kim Oski and Lee Parker, the Spartans should continue their winning ways with the help of freshmen Tammy Henrich and Bev Severin, sopho- mores Diane Henry, Beth Neves, and Cory Spencer, and juniors Mary Lievens, Rose Medrek, Lynne He- din, Reenie Moras, Melinda Dauten, and Liz Belch.

The leadership and talent of the tri-cap- tains Kim Arment, Mary Carroll, and Su- zette Keddy, augmented the success of the team. Mary Carroll, a four year varsity player, was the recipient of the MVP award this year. Suzette Keddy was ac- claimed for her great defensive playing, and Kim Arment was awarded recognition as best offensive player and high scorer. Anne Carroll, a sophomore who also is an outstand- ing player, received the award for most im- proved player. The season started very well, with a 6-0 win over Agawam. In this game, Kim Arment set a new school record, scor- ing 5 goals in one game. Highlights of the season also include two victo- ries over a very strong South Hadley team. The loss of Jennifer Fisk, a fine defensive player, proved to be very discouraging to the team. She suffered a broken nose in a game against Southwick. With the help of the promising juniors and sophomores returning next year, the team should improve its re- cord immensely next year. Players who should be recognized for their outstanding play- ing include Lauri Do- bias, Alaina Miller, Kathy O’Brien, Dina Cava, and the fine soph- omore goalie Pat Ni- chols. As with all teams, the coaches, Miss Exley and Miss Hafey, deserve credit for providing the leadership and support needed for a strong team. Girls’ Field 48 On your mark, get set, . . .

This year’s team got off to a strong start with three impressive wins over Southwick, Westfield and Chicopee. The team was plaged by inexperience, which led to a six game losing streak. Co-captain John Ferrero, the only re- turning starter, Gene Fitzgerald and Brian Walker consistently led the Spartans in scoring while co-captain John Wilk and Neil Brad- street helped out with ball control and de- fense. Mike Sullivan and Mark Blanchard greatly enhanced the rebounding power. Brian Walker’s re- cord-breaking steal helped the Spartans back on the winning track while Gene Fitz- gerald had big games of 27 and 24 points, in- cluding the first dunk in Spartan history.

As the season progressed, boys’ swimming had to settle for a tie with Minnechaug. Seniors Dave Simon- ich, Jim McCormick and Gregg Speer strove to better their times. Juniors Gary Donlin and Bob Harvey showed great strength in their events and Peter Av- doulos showed enor- mous talent in wrapping up the western Mass, div- ing championships with our only 1st place. He, as well as Doug Wilk, will re- turn next year to help set the pace in diving. Dan Warner and Mike LeClair, both freshmen, gave startling perfor- mances in the back stroke and achieved many key points in the dual meets. Co-Captain Gregg Speer “flys” to glory. 67 Coach, let go of the foghorn. The Creature from the Black Lagoon 69 That hurts! Cindy looks for action. “Go for the leg without the Sheer Energy, Sue.” 70 Led by the captain and only senior, Kim Arment, the Girls’ Bas- ketball had the best sea- son in years. The season was highlighted by wins over always-tough Longmeadow and a stunning 53-41 upset over the contending South Hadley team. High-scoring Kim Ar- ment will be sorely missed, but with Ju- niors Lynne Hedin, Rose Medrek, Gina Beery and Cindy Bicknell return- ing, next season looks promising. Sophomores Sue Kennedy, Laurie Dobias, and Coree Spen- cer also had a hand in the winning season.

Hold Tight Sal takes charge early in the match. The wrestling team, under the superb coach- ing of Mr. Mazzarielo, enjoyed a very success- ful season. The team compiled a 9-5 record on it’s way to a third place finish in Division II. The team’s strength occurred at the heavier weights, where Mark deBlok, Steve Muise and Dan Lincoln wrestled. Co-captains deBlok and Muise achieved first place finishes in the competitive Granby Christmas Tourna- ment. Steve Muise cruised to an undefeat- ed season and a number one seed in Western Mass, while Mark deB- lok’s only blemish was a scoreless tie to a Ludlow opponent. deBlok’s chance for Western Mass, glory with a 2 seed ended when he suf- fered a torn ligament at the end of the season. Seniors Mike Torcia, Dan Yargeau, Russ White, Dave Moses, John Salvetti and Steve Whitney all made out- standing contributions throughout the season. Next year’s hopes lie in the experience of re- turning members Tim Goguen, Craig Clarke, Doug Yargeau and Scott Somers. Though the Girls Gymnastic Team battled valiantly on the bars, frolicked on the floor, and ban- tered on the beam, they occasionally fell short of victory. Their record may have been less than perfect, but the team form is visi- bly improving. Ju- niors Mary Shaw and Lisa Majgier support- ed the team with nu- merous superb show- ings. Underclassmen Jill Bodnar and Cathy Mascara turned in near-per- fect performances, se- curing the team’s hopes for the future.

Fancy foot work! 78 This year, the Spar- tans were powerful on the ice. Throughout the season they were lead- ing contenders in the Wright Division. Season highlights included an impressive 4-1 victory over Easthampton on Feb. 19, which put the Spartans at the top of their division. Is that game, sophomore goalie Mike Scanlon was out- standing. Other key players were Co-cap- tains Dave Rau and Ted Fitzgerald, Jim Trase, Tom Noel and Larry Maiolo. Fitzy was the team’s leading scorer and Rau was vicious on defense. Although a number of strong seniors are leav- ing the team, many ca- pable underclassmen are returning with hopes for an equally good season next year.

My bologna has a first name. With the leadership of co-captains Sabrina Smit, the only senior on the squad, and Lori Kagan, the girls mus- tered the pizazz needed to work their way into the hearts of the crowd. The Junior Var- sity shows promise for next year, as they pro- vided the pep, smiles and spirit which never failed. Let’s give three cheers for the cheer- leaders: One for their inspiring spirit . . . One for their jubilant smiles . . . One for their never-ending hope. I hope my slip isn’t showing. - — h? 83 Powder Puff! We’re not busy Prom night. Take a musician home. Captains shake on it! Scoffing at the chill winds blowing across the sand dunes from Longmeadow, a capacity crowd turned out for the annual Powder Puff Football Game in November. Marked by strong defensive efforts by both sides, this year’s game was touch-and- go until elusive Laurie Rosati broke for a long run T.D. When Kim Oski scored a second T.D. minutes later, the enthusiastic crowd, led by the buxom cheerleaders, broke into frenzied shouts. All chances of a comeback by the White Team were squelched by the smoothly executed plays of this superb phys- ical football machine, the Red Team. A special bow should be directed to Blair Hundertmark for his direction of a unique 1 6 piece kazoo band. Their unusual offerings of “Home, Home on the Range” and “The Bell Song” from Tosca, both delighted and stunned the rioutous fans. (At press time neither M. Sullivan nor K. Parker had accepted the offers of the Dallas Cowgirls.)

W- cm w Mt A Mrs. Lopes, Librarian, with Mrs. Kielar and Mrs. House. Led by senior captain David Odato, the debating team had yet another winning season. David is their star debator and, although the team will lose him next year, there are many upcoming underclassmen who show potential. Among these are Richard Brown, John Dunlop and the Feder- ici sisters. The team entered their play-off round debating the Olympic Boycott with Holyoke as their toughest opposition, and did an excellent job. Mr. Debacher, the “Donut King”, has judged for four years and is considered very competent. The team should be commended for their superb job this year. Library Aides “I need something on J.F.

The highlight of the club’s season was achieved in attendance at mock session of Con- gress held at A.I.C. Stu- dents from Western Massachusetts towns and cities vied to have their bills passed by this pseudo -congressional body. The experience was beneficial as stu- dents learned the var- ious stages of ratifica- tion necessary for pas- sage of real life bills.

Now as Math Leaguers they pit their mathematical wits against other arethmeticians in Olympiads through- out the Common- wealth of Massachu- setts. Who knew they would turn out this way?

(L to R) Standing; Jane Saacke, Tom O’Neil, Paul Tarsa, Sitting; Richard Haley, David Odato, Lynn Buddington, Jim Thomas East Longmeadow High School has had an impressive record through out the last two decades on the Channel 2 2 TV Quiz show “As Schools Match Wits”. East Longmeadow has the second best over-all school record winning two championships in the ’60’s and one in the 70’s. Following in the tradition of past years, ELHS has pro- duced another successful team which qualified for semi- final competition this year. Much of the success is due to the coaching of Mrs. Troutman who greatly aided the team with unlimited time and effort. The team, consist- ing of seniors David Odato (captain), Lynn Buddington, Richard Haley, and junior Jim Thomas, as well as alter- nates Jane Saacke, Tom O’Neill, and Paul Tarsa succeeded early in the school year by defeating Enfield High School in a close match with a score of 155 to 145. The next competition was against Suf field Academy who lost to E.L. 1 50 to 110. The third match was played against Pittsfield High School and ELHS proved victorious again with a score of 185 against Pittsfield’s 110. After winning three matches, the team was eligible to participate in semifinals and championship rounds. A $1,000 Scholarship is awarded to the winning team. Re- gardless of whether the team wins the championship or not, these knowledgable members have performed most successfully through weekly training, practice matches against teachers, and independent study. We appreciate and respect their hard work and success! - David Odato Drama Club Puts On An Act Back Row: Eleanor Stack, Lisa Contrino, Eileen Manley, Andy Katze: Front row: Mr. Calabrese, John Gentile, Richard Haley, Glenda Bedard, Peter Tenggren, Mary Lynn Bramucci, Lying: Rick Gallerini Go for it!!! Its mid-winter play “A Connecticut Yankee In King Arthur’s Court” catapulted the Drama club from obscure beginnings to the popular- ity it’s enjoying now. By donning medieval garb and accents, these gifted performers turned the E.L. Auditorium into a mystical 1 5th century world of Hocus-Pocus and de- ception. Standout performances by junior Rick Gallerani, seniors John Gentile and Glenda Bedard and sophomore Matt Ferri gave the play a note of professionalism. Re- turning members can be counted on to pro- vied superb production in the centuries to come. 100 All That Jazz One minute to curtain. The E.L. band divi- sions produced another successful year. The marching band pro- vided halftime shows for the home football games, music for me- morial day services, and participated in the fourth of July parade. Talented musicians Mark Wynn, Brian Walker, Rob Anderson and Selma Fontaine re- ceived District honors and added to the vi- brant sounds of the funky jazz band. This highly listenable group received a first place honor in the New Eng- land Jazz festival at Berkeley Institute of Music, Boston. The Jazz Band put in many hours to make Spartanum Spectacular the success it was. The concert attendance was very high this year with S.R.O. crowds at each performance. “Devastating” New York Times Truly a musical experience Rex Reed, National Enquirer Honor Society Top Row: (L to R) Gregg Speer, Jon Wilk, Pam Ferriera, Mary Carroll, Julie Viens. 5th row: Pat Seely, Martha Fontaine, Debbie Jaworski, Ellen Haskins. 4th row: Lee Parker, Caroline Fisk, Tanya Penman, Lisa Pachetto. 3rd row: Lynn Buddington, David Odato, Cindy Di- mauro, Jane Saake, Mary Cushman. 2nd row: Jennifer Fisk, Melinda Dauten, Lisa DeAngelo, Elsa Pietroniro, Bill Paris. 1st row: Gene Fitz- gerald, Mark Empsall, John Dunfey, John Ward, Mike O’Shaugh- nessy. Honor Society members are a hardy lot. They run up and down aisles in the dark finding elusive seats for late- comers in Wheeler Auditorium during Spartanum or a Drama Club production; warm bottles on the back burner for hungry babies during Town Meeting time; give of themselves as tutors for those who need a little more time or practice in the three R’s; collect the most deserved awards in the whole school on Academic Awards night, and now even provide the surrounding countryside with their daily quota of citrus fruit. Many thanks to Miss Herschuk for her example and dedicated advising, to Dave for his leadership, USA for her Spartanum and Selma for her minutes and for adjourning the meetings on time. All Roads Lead To Rome The classics are alive and well at East Longmeadow High School. In fact, the Latin Club (which is a mem- ber of the larger body of classical scholars known as the Pioneer Valley Classical Association) boasts an increased membership this year with Keith Davis serving as Secretary Treasurer and Lisa Contrino leading the way as President. Under the direction of Miss Fay the linguists are finding that Latin need not confine itself to words describing Caesar’s battle strategy- but even today may be used in modern conversation. Participation in Classics Day activities at the Uni- versity of Massachusetts as well as a Latin Volleyball Tournament with wins over Minnechaug and Chico- pee Comprehensive cinched the realization that Lat- in is alive and kicking here. 103 Vive Le Circle Francais Le Circle Fran?ais had one of its busiest, most suc- cessful years in 1979-80. They boasted their largest membership ever, with 172 official members. Under the leadership of president David Odato, vice presi- dent Jane Saake, secretary Sue Wadden, Karen Mar- sien as treasurer and Randy Hobbs, representative, the French Club spent time polishing its constitu- tion and setting up regulations for the first year for a book scholarship. This year’s Soire e boasted many new acts with a wonderful french version of Goldi- locks, put on by Mrs. Payne’s french class, with Jen- nifer Fisk as the star. Brian Walker’s band played some original numbers and the night ended with the traditional Can-Can. Along with cheese tasting, fit- tings for berets and a trip to Canada, the French Club had a memorable year.

Transition was the :iame of 1980 as far as Student Council was concerned. Their newly enacted consti- tution was not only adopted by area schools but is to be a model for a seminar to be held at the an- nual Fall Conference. The enthusiastic group under the lead- ership of Jon Wilk(Pres.), John Ward(V.P.), Lynn La- Clair (Sec.), Reenie Mauras(Treas.) and Dave Gelinas(Mem. Large) never rested on their laurels but fol- lowed their energetic and innovative advi- sor, Mr. Hamel, in an unending effort to improve the standing and relationships of all groups in the school. One success fol- lowed another; Fresh- man Orientation in August welcomed newcomers while a fall dance for over three hundred ce- mented the good feel- ing. Early in the year the Student Council was instrumental in reactivating the Field Day activities which will be held in the late spring. Once again, the Council in conjunction with Honor Society, spon- sored Spartan Spec- taculum, and togeth- er they purchased a mirror ball and new microphones for use at school functions. In place of the Carni- val the Council spon- sored a Citrus Fruit Sale whose success all participating groups shared financially. At this writing, a major charity fundraiser for the Muscular Dystro- phy Association, the Council’s adopted charity organization this year, is in the planning stage. Who knows what other projects they have in mind ... if they ever get around to foreign policy, the Ayatolla had better watch out! 107 Class In order to avoid an increase in class dues beyond the current $30.00 rate, The Sen- ior Class was involved in numerous fund raisers. Sabrina’s Bal- lon Sale raised $160.00; Mary Car- roll’s Powder-Puff Football Game pro- vided more cash; the Valentine’s Day Car- nation Sale brought in $350.00, while The Class Mug and Citrus Fruit Sale net- ted $674.00. Two Saturdays were de- voted to recycling at the D.P.W., which also raised $200.00. At the 4th of July Carnival and Fire- works, the class earned $430.00. Aid- ed by Mrs. Fleming, Julie kept the budget balanced. Lucia and her Prom Committee worked diligently in organizing the newly accepted Dinner- Dance, which was held at Chez Josef. The Homeroom Re- presentatives, con- sisting of Bill Paris, Gregg Speer, Shirlene Buffington, Jon Crary, Chris Ferri, AnnMarie Kopec, Kathy Miller, Kim Pash, Joanne Skiff- ington, Pat Speight and last but not least Marji Stevens, did an excellent job of col- lecting money from class dues and mugs. Their efforts made the class officers jobs much easier. ■ Seniors (L to R): Mary Carroll, Julie Viens, David Moses, Sabrina Smit, Lucia Gour. niversity of j ' ermont • ; Juniors (L to R): Lisa DeAngelo, Jeff Robinson, Matt Willis, Kim Skroback, not pictured, Tom O’Connor. 108 Officers SOPHOMORES L to R: Anne Carroll, Sandi Feinberg, Lauri Dobias, Paul Tarsa FROSH L to R: James Killoren, Cathy Gentile, Paula Carotenuti, Scott Rogers A Last Peek At The Class Of ’80 WFSB-TV SPORTS HONORS Todd Miller FROM East Long Meadow High School AS ITS HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETE OF THE WEEK October 1, 1979 RECOGNIZING OUTSTANDING ATHLETIC ACHIEVEMENT IN THE LAND OF THE 3. 2 .

Although she was a day late in arriving, her visit began with a bang . . . the plane was hitby a bus. Blonds do have more fun! Adapting herself to a new family was sometimes amusing, sometimes frustrating because of the differences in lan- guage and in life-styles. After the initial culture shocks, however, these small difficulties gradually disappeared. Through the exchange program she has met students her own age from other countries and established warm friend- ships, of course, with East Longmeadowites. Lene commented briefly on American schools and parent- child-teacher relationship, “Americans are different . . . you hide things from your parents, and you don’t talk at all about anything that matters. In Denmark, we tell our par- ents what we do and how we feel. It’s a better way to feel and be. Our teachers are warm; they have time to listen to what we have to say, even if it isn’t history in a history class. That way they can help us. It is better in my country; there is a warmth between us that is missing here. I don’t think you know each other at all.” Lene is planning to continue her education when she re- turns to Denmark and follow a career in medicine. She hopes to come back to the United States for a visit next year and see more of the country. East Longmeadow will welcome back a friend. 190 Saving for College?

Spartan Spectator For the fourth consecutive year, the East Longmeadow High School newspaper has received a national award for journalistic excellence at the Columbia University Scho- lastic Press Association Convention. This year, the Spar- tan Spactator received a first place rank, rating the news- paper as one of the best in the nation. TheSpartan Spectator was rated with newspapers from over 2,000 schools of the same size as ELHS across the country. In each size grouping, a few schools are named medalists, the highest ranking, and a few more are named in the first, second, and third place categories. Because of the placing in the first place category, the Spartan Specta- tor was judged as one of the top twenty high schools pa- pers in the U.S. by journalists of the leading newspapers in the nation. The judged newspapers ranged from December 1979. Advisor Mr. Kerson as well as editors David Odato and Tanya Penman were gre atly honored at the national dis- tinction of the Spartan Spectatar which has placed 2nd, 3rd, and 2nd, respectively since 197 7. 192 In East Longmeadow High everyone benefits from Student Council . . .

Senior Banquet - A Night To Remember! 1 201 Elegant Seniors-Yesterday’s Memories It was a fine night for dancing at Chez Josef . . . all the girls were beautiful in their swishy skirts . . . the boys romantic strangers in tuxes — even F. Scott and Zelda were there. The class of ’80, true to form, was innovative in choosing a dinner dance as an elegant occasion to say goodbye. Do you see what I see? Oh Jon! 202 Graduation After 1 2 years Kim, Sue, and Joyce await their call. Penny for your thoughts? Congratulations Dave! Despite the rain on June 8th, that forced the 2 21 graduates and hundreds of parents and friends into the gymnasium, gradu- ation ceremonies were a success. Commence- ment speeches given by David Moses, Glenda Bedard, Steve Muise, John Salvetti, and Eli- nor Stack made that day significant and tru- ly expressive of class feeling. As his final offi- cial pronouncement, Lucia Gour, Vice Presi- dent, presented a hand- some new podium to Mr. Cannone on behalf of her class. Field Day - Battle Of The Classes!! On your mark, get set, . . . A coke and a smile The first annual Field Day at ELHS proved to be a notorious success. Over a period of a few hours, one could detect a display of school spirit which, for the most part, appears to have been concealed during most normal school ac- tivities. This day would not have been signifi- cant without the devot- ed support and dedica- tion of Mr. Marden, Mr. Cannone, and other members of the faculty, and the tremendous number of athletic stu- dents who contributed their time and effort to the revival of spirit in our school. World powers 204 A fight for the finish. Kim gives her all out effort. We’re new here Soiree! The Palace of Versailles was the setting for this year ' s Soiree. High- lights of the evening included the performances of Sue Wadden, the French IV class’s rendition of “The Three Little Bears , Julie McGuill and Susan Tesoro. The Can-Can girls thrilled the audience and for the first time ever they were joined by the vivacious Boys’ Can-Can. No one can ever thank Mrs. Tibbets sufficiently for her many efforts to make the night a success. “Coach, coach can I eat this stuff?” Sue and Madame making music Awards Night Dave takes yet another one On May 24, many students in the high school were honored at the annual Academic Awards Night. Mr. Cannone presided at the event. Those that received numerous awards included Jennifer Fisk, Jon Wilk, Gene Fitzgerald and David Odato. Among David Odato’s many awards were the French Club Award, Latin Award, and the Good- latte English Award. For receiving the Mass. Boy’s State award, Gene Fitzgerald and Kurt Schulen were invited to spend a week at Nichols College. Jennifer Fisk was invited to spend a week-end at Penn State University for receiving the Penn State ' s University Scholar’s Award. Also honored were those who were in the Honor Society, those on Student Council, the senior members of the Spar- tan Spectator and the editors of the 1980 yearbook. Spartanum Saturday Night Live .... here we come. This year’s Spartanum Spectaculam was a smashing success. It featured unique acts such as a dance from the “Rocky Horror Picture Show” and Bruce Torrey’s Magic Act. The Goldwomen and Sil- vermen portrayed the Olym- pic Boycott, the Iranian Sit- uation, and the future. Su- perb performances were put on by Julie Shawn, Tom St. Marie, Cathi Judd, Matt Ferri and our Juggaleers, who were the highlights of the show. Emcees Chris Ferri and Dan Lincoln entertained with several skits and witty jokes. Student directors Lisa Paschetto and John Ward, with advisors Miss Herschuk and Mr. Turner, are to be commended for this profes- sional performan ce. Spectaculum ’80 The Chorus and their rendition of “Godspell” Who’s behind those Foster Grants? 207 Pops Concert . . . Bob Rice blows his own horn! Under the energetic direction of Mr. Cheeney and Mr. Turner, the Pops Concert shook the walls with boister- ous music. Featured soloists Lynn Ross, Glenda Bedard, Linda Totman, and Cathi Judd belted out earpleasing tunes such as “The Rose” and “For You My Love”. The High School concert band tuned in with medleys from the “Rolling Stones” and “A Suite of American Dances”. Many were awestruck by the sound and appearance of the High School Jazz Ensemble with their many lively tunes which included “Aquar- ius”, “Let the Sunshine In”, and “Fuga Jazz”. Tony Caliento, Brian Walker, Tim Goguen, and Dave Coderre were among the featured solo musicians, while promising freshmen in both the cho- rus and bands showed immense poten- tial for future shows. The Pops Concert is a true example of what talents EL students really possess. Synchro . . . The Synchronized Swim Show created a big splash. Mary Ni- chols and Gina Scarnici went “Surfin” USA ...” Lisa Plant and Bonnie McFadden were ape over “Jungle Love” . . . while “Super” feats were performed in the grand finale. Water Wings to Miss Kerr for directing. 208 Golf Team Shows Great Form Cut grass much? Maz talks over strategy. The Golf Team rounded off a banner season with a 8-4-2 record. Coach Mazzariello looks forward to Varsity hopefuls such as Bob Doty, Tom Kennedy, Mike Mencaroni, Chaz Marino, and freshmen John Paschetto and Tim Keating for next year. The team looked good with decisive wins over Enfield and Putnum. Varsity players Bob Doty and Tim Keating also put in good efforts in The Western Mass Tournament. Bob Doty eagled as team captain and MVP. Fooooour! In the pond again? L to R: Glen Robitaille, Ralph Giuggio, Matt Eddy, Coach Marden, Mike Langone, Jim Killoren, Bob Villeneuve; J.V.

Coaches Ms. Cadorette and Mr. I. Plette with co-captains Ellen Haskins and Betsey Wadden led the team to a successful season. Although the record was 5-5 the girls broke many of last years records. Jennifer Leonard broke the javelin re- cord with a 103 ' throw. Beth Gelinas set a 5:44 mile and Kathy O’Brien a 12:10 two-mile. Bet- sey Wadden set a 2:2 4 880 which won a 2nd place in Valley Wheel, 4th in Western Mass, and sent her to the States. Sue Kennedy was voted MIP, Kathy O’Brien MD, and Betsey Wadden MVP. The team will look forward to next year ' s sea- son with returning runners Lisa Robbins, Lynne Hedin, Diane Henry, Beth Neves, and Coree Spencer.

John Kent, still fresh after 7 laps. Mutt Jeff The 1980 boy’s track team performed far beyond their expectations, achieving a second place Valley Wheel finish, as well as a close second place in Western Mass. The success can be attributed to the track side — the field was not the Spartan forte. Distance was especially strong at E. Long- meadow. the two mile, mile, and 880 were usually won. Rick Hundertmark enjoyed an undefeated season in the 2 mile, eventually breaking the school record en route to a gold medal at Western Mass, and a bronze at the state. The Spartans showed their distance strenqth with new comers John Kent and Jim Lovatt. Co-Captain Dave Gelinas ran many incredible come from behind victories in the mile and 880 and helped break the school record in the mile relay, with the aid of Jon Wilk (4th Western Mass. 4 40), Pat Seeley, and Rick Hundertmark. The Spartan sprinters were surprisingly strong in their struggle. John Salvetti and Doug McKenny dominated the 100 getting 1,2 at most meets, and 1,3 at Western Mass. Jeff Starr and Ken King also gained many points at the meets with the 220, getting 2,3 at Western Mass. These four sprinters com- posed a record shattering time, taking 1st in Western Mass, and 6th in the State Meet. Dave Coderre had many firsts, taking the high and low hurdles (2nd in Western Mass.) and high and long jumps. Rick Shaefer shat- tered the triple jump record. 211 New Coach Sparks Softball Team Kneeling (1. to r.)

Cathy Gentile, Kim Oski, Kelly Fontain, Pat Dimauro, Alicia Trial, Anne Carroll, Gina Beery, Coach Burke. Senior Kim Arment provides depth up the middle. Slugging Cindy Bicknell rips one for a single. Capt. Joanne Skiffington was tough at the hot corner. This year’s Softball team, led by Reanne Burke, had its ups and downs. MVP and Captain Joanne Skiffington provided strengths both offen- sively and defensive- ly. Due to the loss of Joanne, Lisa Richers, Julie Viens, Karen Monroe, Kim Oski, and Pat Dimauro, hardly anyone will be left on base. Under- classmen Cathy Gen- tile, Alicia Trial, Anne Carroll, and Maureen Moras will be counted on in the team’s future. Sophomore Kelly Fountain lets one fly. 212 EL Spartans Come Back With 9-9 Season Tom Garwacki up at bat. John Blanchard shows his power Osh is ready and waiting Todd Case accelerates towards the ball MVP Cliff Turner gives his best The EL Varsity baseball team was led through an exciting season by Coach Arra, and team captain Cliff Turner. Al- though the team started off slow, the Spartans finished strongly with a 9-9 record, beating Amherst, Minnechaug and Classical. The team was held together by the combined efforts of Cliff Turner, John Blanchard, and Bob Graham on the mound, Todd Miller, Tom Brown, Brian Walker, and Todd Case in the infield, Tom Garwacki, and Bill Florence in the outfield and Mark Blanchard behind the plate. Helping the team in hit- ting were Todd Miller, Tom Garwacki, Cliff Turner, Mark Blanchard and Todd Case. Coach Arra looks to the fu- ture at the JV and Freshmen teams.

Boys Net Title - Girls Set For Next Year When’s practice over! Clone Tennis! The 1980 tennis season was one of the high- lights of the spring sports schedule. The girls team did quite well considering the youthful- ness of the team. The roster consisted of two juniors, five sophomores, and one freshman. Jennifer Rich provided some exciting tennis, playing first singles. Sue Busekist and Rose Me- drek played well all year at the first doubles posi- tion. The girls are looking forward to a big sea- son next year with everyone returning. The 1980 boys tennis team surprised everyone by capturing the “B Division Championship. The team was young yet they had a lot of exper- ience. Paul Tarsa, only a sophomore, has been playing in the number one singles position for two years and is this year’s MVP. Scott Meyers and Scott Jones were very strong in the second and third singles respectively. The double pro- vided much of the team power this year. Mike Frey and Chuck Dietsche, the team captain, were very strong playing first doubles. The sec- ond doubles team of Blair Hundertmark and freshmen Brian Gibson was instrumental in the success of the season. Bob Hunt was a real asset as a substitute. The boys finished 8-0 in their division and 9-4 overall, with losses coming at the rackets of Longmeadow, Amherst, Cathedral and Minnechaug. Wins over Agawam, Palmer and South Hadley catapulted the team to the title. After the season the boys volleyed into the individual and team Western Mass Champion- ships. In the individual championships the per- formances were disappointing but in the team championships they finished runners-up to Northampton. All in all it was a very successful spring tennis season for both boys and girls.

Ostensibly, a teacher of German, Russian and Eng- lish, Mr. Nickett was, in reality, an instructor to the whole person. He was dedicated to excellence in the various disciplines, not the least of which was student self-discipline. Conscientious and exacting, he was always sympathetic to the struggling girl and boy, while encouraging all students to raise their educa- tional and personal standards to ever expanding heights. Mr. Nickett’s intellectual and individual in- tegrity has established a goal for each of us. 216
