FRIENDSHIP For some, the friendships made during high school will last a lifetime; others will not survive the separation that comes with college, new jobs, and starting a new life. How, then, do we define friendship? For some, it is a special bond existing between two or more people. This bond requires a sharing of feelings and a sense of caring, along with respect and honesty. To others, friendship is merely acquaintance — a brief exchange of words — “hello ... good-bye” or an occasional passing of the time of day, a borrowing of homework, little more than that. Whatever its nature, whether the friendship lasts a lifetime or whether it is transient, we hope that the friendships made here at East Meadow High will have a special quality. We believe that in friendship East Meadow students are at their best. — friends forever. Bridget Cox and Jodi Rappaport Eileen Ruggiero, Billy Germano, and Maria Romano are all dressed up for Saturday's football game. Friendship 13 HANGING OUT It is in the art of “hanging out” that East Meadow students are truly at their best. Their reason for making the tedious journey to school every day, indeed the very meaning of ex- istence, could be epitomized in the expression “hanging out. How then does one “hang out”? Practi- tioners of this art are divided into two categories. There are those who “hang out” simply as a pleasant diversion between classes, during free periods, before and after school. For these students “hanging out” is simply rest and relaxation between the dull, daily grind of classroom activity. For others, “hanging out is a contest, a duel of wits with authority. For these students the place to “hang out” is the hallways, the senior alcove, an empty classroom. The reward is the knowledge that they successfully evaded school authorities. Students meet outside the cafeteria doors to discuss the day's activities. Hanging out is the fulfillment of a student's ambitions. 14 Hanging Out The dancers at the Halloween Dance reach up to pop the falling balloons. 16 Halloween Dance The unsuspecting dance participants are about to be covered in dozens of balloons. Gene Goffi takes a break from hanging up streamers to have a bite to eat. The Guest of Honor at the Halloween Dance was found hanging around (from a basketball hoop). HALLOWEEN DANCE Spiders hung from the basketball hoops and skeletons sat above them. Cobwebs festooned the walls. The gym creeped and crawled with slithering things, and it wasn’t the same old gym where students usually huffed and puffed doing athletic things. It was the annual Hallo- ween Dance. The students came to haunt, dressed as vam- pires and ghosts and ghouls. The music was New Wave and Punk, and a smidgen of Heavy Metal, and it didn’t stop, except for the award- ing of prizes for the best costumes of the night. Among the winners were a “grim reaper a “frogman,’’ and the French maids. The dance lasted until the witching hour of midnight, and then the revelers vanished from the gym to continue their merrymaking until DJ Larry Zitzmann readies the next record as its predecessor comes to its end. . , the early hours of the morning. Halloween Dance 17 Glenn Bass receives a little help with his boutonniere just before the Junior Prom JUNIOR PROM The Junior prom for the class of 84 was held in Gigi’s in Westbury. Approximately eighty couples attended the semi-formal event. The theme song of the evening’s festivities was “On the Wings of Love.” During the first part of the evening a buffet was available downstairs, followed by a sit-down dinner and dancing in the main ballroom. Prom bids for the class of ’84 cost $40, but the consensus of those who attended was that the evening was well worth the cost. John Kirk and Jill Bouza line up to sample the buffet at Gigi's. 18 Junior Prom Sue Lorentzen and Rob McCarthy take a break outside the ballroom at Gigi’s.

It involves some sports, some dancing, and some spectacle. Heraea dates back to the days when there were few areas of athletic competition open to girls. The new emphasis on girls' sports has made its impact on Heraea. Because of conflicts with their sports schedules, the Sophomore class did not choose to enter a team in Heraea '83; and so this year's Heraea became a Junior-Senior contest. The teams were judged In the following areas: attendance, wall decorations, entrance, square dance, volleyball, relay races, team cooperation, behavior, sportsmanship, and aerobics. The judges were past Heraea captains and alumni. The class of '84 chose fantasyland as its theme, and the class of '83 chose the roaring twenties. Each class had original costumes, music, and dances. Although both teams fought hard, honors of Heraea '83 went to the class of '84, who won the hearts of judges and audience alike. Abbey Gershbein and Dina Stropoll are dancing their way to a victory The star of the show.

Pep Rally Himeraea Matthew Buzieo does his part to get the crowd psyched School spirit has always been very strong at East Meadow High School, and it has been bolstered by traditions, some old and some very new. The annual Pep Rally is an old institution. Every year the members of the athletic teams parade out into the middle of the gym, are in- troduced by name, and are cheered by the loyal fans. Besides the athletes, the fans also get a chance to cheer for the Rockettes and Cheerleaders who do so much to support the teams’ morale. Himeraea is a recent addition to the annual traditions of East Meadow. Of course, it is something of a “put-on.” The name has ob- viously been swiped from the venerable Heraea, the girls’ annual competition. In the first Himeraea, the class of '83 defeated the class of ’84 by a narrow margin. Traditions like the Pep Rally and Himeraea have kept alive school spirit and kept us AT OUR BEST. The girls are enthusiastic spectators at Himeraea r Pep Rally Himeraea 23 October 15, 1983, was a blustery autumn day. It was also Homecoming Day at East Meadow. The Jets were taking on the Massapequa team, and East Meadow’s Homecoming Queen was being crowned. The 1983 Homecoming Queen, elected by the senior class, is Sue Lorentzen, who accepted her crown with great poise and dignity. The members of her court are Dina Stropoli, Carin Gonsalves, Mae Ann Siegel and Bridget Cox. During the halftime ceremonies, at which the name of this year's Queen was announced, the school band played and the Rockettes performed their com- plicated routines. Then Presiding Supervisor Tom Gulotta crowned the Queen to the cheers of the spectators. 24 Homecoming Game Mr. Herschowitz drives the Rockettes' “football onto the field for the halftime show Robert Na polit a no carries the ball through the Massapequa defense.

Two friends, Debbie Korn and Marta Romano, visit Mary Jo Conte while she is working at Eva's Card and Gift Shop. Donna Tessler spends her time at work looking for things in high places. JOBS Despite the busy academic schedule of the average high school stu- dent, most find that they have to hold jobs to pro- vide for the little luxuries life requires. The jobs they hold run the gamut from checking out groceries at Pathmark to operating booths at flea markets. The workers of tomor- row are also the workers of today. They wait on tables at Friendly’s, they pump gas at Hess, they stock shelves at Shoe Town. Their salaries go towards cars, new clothes, entertainment on weekends. Most students lead active, busy lives and make an effort to pay their own way. TRANSPORTATION The universal “coming of age” rite In the suburbs is the acquiring of a driver’s license. This little scrap of paper liberates its possessor from childhood and turns him or her into an adult. Most students take a driver’s ed course. Then there is the written test, followed by the road test (which many fail and have to take over again). Eventually everyone gets the license. The license means freedom. It means a car; it means wheels; it means no more dependence on the generosity and the good will of others. It means staying out late on weekends without having to call up Mom or Dad to come and get you. But cars cost. They drink up gasoline and oil; they are expensive to repair and keep in working order. They require jobs to support them; and instead of spending time on the road, the students spend it working to pay for the car. Two friend spend their lunch period hanging out In the parking lot. Nancy Lee and her friend pose for a picture before they race out of the parking lot at 2:03 pm Transportation 29 The lacrosse team recruited another all-star player — and check out his classy wardrotx FASHION It is in the world of fashion that East Meadow students are at their best. Few students have the least interest in the expensive creations of Paris and Bloomingdales. East Meadow shows its creativity and individuality in a style that is at once casual and eclectic. True, designer jeans are occasionally seen on the well dressed East Meadow student. Jordache, Sergio Valente, Sasson, and Gloria Vanderbilt are names that are not ex- actly unknown here. True, students are occasionally seen sporting the infamous “preppy look.” Sweaters are worn over button-down oxford shirts, with Izod Lacoste alligators adorning almost every garment. However, the same students who occasionally sport designer jeans or the prep- py look may tum around and show up the very next day sporting the “punked out” look, which consists of purple hair, leather jackets, bicycle chains and handcuffs. But these essays into distinct styles are merely aberra- tions. Most students generally opt for comfort over style. Levis, a sweat shirt, and Nikes will generally cover any social occasion.

Fashion 31 FUNDRAISERS When it comes to raising money, East Meadow students are at their best. Every club and organization eventually has to face the crucial question — how do we raise some cash? And every club and organiza- tion comes up with the same original solution — a fundraiser. Students scurry through the halls, laden with texts and notebooks and the ubiquitous cartons of M M’s or Caramellos or Crunch Bars. The buying and selling goes on everywhere — in classrooms before class, in the hallways, in the gym and in the cafeterias. Students have to satisfy their sweet tooth, and clubs must satisfy their wallets. Candy isn’t the only thing a club might sell to raise money. Certain groups have their favorite and traditional fundraisers. For Key Club it’s carnation sales; for Interact its car washes and cookie marathons. The senior class has the concession stand at home football games. Resume had a disastrous sale last year of senior class posters. At times the school resembles a bazaar — bumper stickers, team monogrammed towels, magazines, stuffed animals, key chains, stained glass sun catchers, posters, and calendars — all are on sale at one time or other. But the all time favorite surefire fundraiser remains the fifty cents box of M M’s. (Opposite Page) Maureen Donnelly and fellow cheerleaders raise money by having a car wash. Sheryl Susser supports the National Honor Society by purchasing two boxes of M M’s. The Rockettes discover that during a car wash, it’s not only the cars that get soaped up. Fundraising 33 Maureen Donnelly expresses her confusion over the vast selection of food offered in the cafeteria 34 Counting Calories Barry Rosenberg gorges himself on free pizza at an Interact club meeting. Anxious students wait to order their lunch in the school cafeteria COUNTING CALORIES Our roving photographer catches Slvonne Hermann in mid-pizza. Dieting is an obsession in modern America. A slim body is equated with success, and it is in the area of counting calories that the East Meadow students are at their best. Even those students who are by nature as thin as rails claim that they are on perpetual diets. This claim gives its maker a certain feel- ing of moral superiority, for East Meadow High School is designed as a trap for the unwary dieter. After all, what strength of will is required to ignore the tantalizing odors that daily waft their way from the cafeterias! How can anyone forego the delectable pizzas, the scrumptious meatball heroes, and the crunchy bagels. But the East Meadow dieters do. For them, a repast of diet soda, a natural yogurt, and fresh air are the ambrosia of the gods. Gl«nn Goldklank and Karen Antonik spend some Ume talking Instead of eating. David Cowell struggles with one of the cafeteria’s concrete bagels Counting Calories 35 Student Life 37 38 Student Life Student Life 39 ACADEMICS 40 Academics At Our Best Academics 41 STUDYING Larry Festa take a few minutes out to study for an upcoming tot Students sometimes, on very rare occasions, have been known to study — actually study; but we are happy to report that this phenomenon is rare and with the proper treatment will shortly have vanished from the face of the earth and provide only amusing memories, like stories of witches and goblins. After all, youth is too precious a commodity to be wasted on study. There are too many things to attract our interest and exhaust the precious hours of our youth. We live in a world that offers constant distraction, constant entertainment, constant gratification. We live in a world that values the sensational, the loud, and the easy. Introspection and scholarship are not much admired. Still, there are those strange souls, deficient by virtue of heredity or environment, who do manage to study, who read for the joy of reading, who explore for the sake of curosity, who practice for the sake of mastery. While such ones are with us, they must be watched carefully, for they are possibly dangerous. Helene Kashefsky is caught here studying for an AP Biology exam.

SAT's The SAT is taken by all juniors and seniors who wish to continue their studies after high school. It is a standardized test in verbal and mathematical skills. Colleges tend to place great emphasis on scores achieved on this test when they consider a student for admission. The mere thought of the SAT fills many students with trepidation and despair. The highest possible score is 1600 — 800 verbal, 800 mathematics. To achieve this perfect score, one would have to be a genius (or at least a very good guesser). The average student’s SAT score tends to range from 700 to 1000 (on a good day, of course). But the elite of the school must get 1300 or even above in order to be accepted by the college of their choice (or the college of their parents’ choice). 44 SAT Exam Before the SAT. students congregate outside the doors with their No. 2 pencils and tickets and discuss the test with their friends.

PLANNING AHEAD East Meadow High School offers a well-rounded program in Career Education to help students plan for their futures. Although all education is a prepara- tion for the future, there are certain courses that have a very specific relationship to the career goals of the students. One aspect of Career Education is the Career In- ternship program which is directed by Mr. Cirello. Students in the upper portion of the senior class can voluntarily work and observe procedures at Nassau County Medical Center, at local law offices, and at Cablevision. East Meadow also offers programs in nursing, auto repair, woodworking, electrical repair, machine shop, and cosmetology. Courses are also offered in such job-related fields as art, mechanical drawing, typing, business subjects, and computers.

The biography section of the library is often the most helpful, as these students have discovered LIBRARY RESEARCH What is the one place where all good students can be found inevitably at one time or another? At home, of course, but that's not what we mean. Our objective was the library — that huge collection of books, magazines, microfilms, and essays that has saved many students from failing to complete a report. Two months ago a student was given a report to do on life in ancient Egypt, and it falls due tomorrow. What can he do? He heads for the library — our own well stocked school library or the East Meadow Public Library. Scholarship demands sacrifices. Our student heads for the library, thereby giving up time more pleasant- ly spent at the movies or with friends. But the library can offer its own consolations. It is a place where one can run into old friends and pass away the hours in pleasant conversation, interrupted occasionally by the rebukes of the librarians. Still, the work has to be done. Life in ancient Egypt must be reported on, references cited, footnotes checked, bibliographies completed. Finally, the stu- dent buckles down to work, one hand copying furious- ly, one eye watching the clock because the closing time is fast approaching — but finally, the work gets done and our student is saved from a failure.

Knowledge is not something that remains on an abstract plane. It is something that is practical, hav- ing an everyday application. We put our ideas to work. Whether it is in an art class or in an auto shop, East Meadow students are constantly on the alert for practical applications of their knowledge. There is a special feeling of joy that comes from applying the principles that have been learned in class to an everyday problem. The principles of perspective in an art class turn into a drawing. The principles of electricity turn into the sounds coming from a repaired stereo in the radio shop. The principles of geometry guide the construc- tion of furniture in wood shop. Theory and practice walk hand in hand in East Meadow.

HONORS CLASSES Advanced Placement classes are designed to show students what college classes are like. Students taking these courses are labeled crazy” of “nutty” by their peers. In reality, these students tend to take AP classes to get an edge on college by tak- ing courses like calculus, biology, English, history, and physics. Colleges accept scores of three or higher in these courses and grant college credit for them. Because of the difficulty of these courses, students generally select only three or four of those of- fered; and since social studies and English are required subjects, an AP-oriented student is limited in his choices. Once enrolled in the AP courses, each student is obligated to pay $46 a course to stay there. Of course, once the student pays this fee, which is not refundable, things seem to get rougher and many regret taking the course in the first place.

It is the bible of the Debating Club, and it provides the rules governing parliamentary procedure. The Debating Club allows students to vent their feelings on a wide variety of topics, which range from the serious to the comic. The serious topics have included abortion and recent international crises. The comic have included mandatory limits on the amount of homework students might be assigned by teachers. The highlight of the Debate Club’s year is the attending of a Model Congress. At the Model Congress, students have the opportunity of meeting representatives from other schools. The students debate and vote on proposed legislation. They also have a chance to express their opinions, to make new acquaintances, and to enjoy themselves over the course of an exciting weekend. Marjorie Brook gives her point of view in a debate.

The Jet Gazette provides the students of EMHS with the insight into events and problems from all aspects of life throughout our school which they could not get by themselves. Through the leadership of Editors-in-Chief Evan Mandery and Andrea Wicks, the newspaper has expanded its size and hopes to have an issue out every month. The job of the Editor-in-Chief, as well as those of other editors, has never been an easy one and having two Editors-in-Chief doesn’t help much when you’re expanding your circulation, but the editors and staff all realize the enormous responsibility they have, and, with Mr. Connolly’s help, they do a fine job. The newspaper staff has always been the gathering place for aspiring journalists in EMHS, and, although it isn’t likely, one of those journalists may one day work on the New York Times. You never know. Editor-in-Chief Andrea Wicks instructs Marc Davis In the use of the Jet Gazette's tape recorder in interviews.

These are Perspective, the student literary magazine, and Probe, a magazine of scientific fact and fantasy. Perspective publishes short stories, poetry, plays, essays, editorials, artwork, photographs, and anything else students can conceive of. Last year’s magazine took for its theme world peace and was quite well received. Editor-in-chief Denise Verfenstein has high hopes for this year’s edition. This will be the last edition for Perspective s faculty advisor, Mrs. Rubenstein, who retired in January. Probe is a collection of stories, poems, articles, and artwork dealing with science, fantasy, or the unknown. A story or puzzle dealing with “Star Trek” has been a popular feature over the last several issues. The editors are Liz Hinton and Michael Blitz. Mr. Palazzo is the faculty advisor. Although both magazines are sold to students, at a small cost, publication costs have to be met by the usual fundraising activities of each magazine’s staff.

These organizations are Interact and Key Club. Interact is affiliated with Rotary International, and like its parent organization it seeks to raise money for worthwhile causes. During the course of the year, Interact has sponsored a car wash and a cookie marathon to raise money for the Muscular Dystrophy Fund and the March of Dimes. Interact has also raised money forthe Gift of Life Fund which brings foreign children to the United States for heart operations which are not available in their countries. Key Club is affiliated with Kiwanis Clubs. It also is a community service organization. The Key Club has held carnation sales before home football games and Valentine’s Day, and has sponsored the Halloween Dance. The funds raised have gone to sponsor a Thanksgiving Day dinner for senior citizens. Key Gub President Janet Walter addresses the members on the month’s agenda Key Club: Fire!

A sophomore or junior with a 90% average or higher, or a senior with an 85% average or higher is eligible for membership if that stu- dent also meets the minimum extracur- ricular requirements and is recommended for membership by eight teachers. NHS honors these students each year at the NHS banquet. To raise money for the banquet, NHS conducts candy drives every year. This year the main fund raiser is the sale of M M’s. Led by President Michael Geraci, the candy sales have been a great success. Why shouldn’t they have been successful? They were run by some of the smartest peo- ple in the school. The Student Activities Council, though run by some of the same people at NHS, has an entirely different purpose. SAC acts as coordinator for club activities in the school. In addition, SAC, with the aid of its advisor, Mr. Kaley, runs a few events of its own. The most notable of these is the Homecoming Dance. SAC sets up the decorations and makes all the arrangesments for the dance, and what would the Homecoming Game be without a dance? The more common SAC activity is a general meeting of all of the representatives. SAC takes two represen- tatives from each homeroom and from each club. Decisions on matters brought up at SAC meetings are voted on by each representative, and, in that way, everyone has a say.

For those students who are really interested in computers, there is the Computer Club. Meeting every Tuesday in Room 313, they learn about com- puter languages, write programs and play games on the PDP- 11 and Apple U’s, under the watchful eyes of faculty advisor Mrs. Berger. The Math League and the Math Team are two separate en- tities, but actually they are composed of the same member- ship. Both team and league appeal to those students who like math and enjoy tackling challenging problems. The Math League meets for one period six times a year to compete with teams from other schools on a statewide level. The Math Team competes on a county level. Ms. Smith is faculty advisor to both groups. Howard Kapustein assists in the operation of the disk drive on one of the school's Apple computers. Computer Club: Firet Row: Jim Vitale.

Under the direction of Mr. Savoy, the members follow developments in the medical field, make field trips to local hospitals, and generally test their interest in making a commitment to this generally rewarding career. The highpoint of this year’s activity was a visit to the Nassau County Medical Examiner’s Office. A public relations executive headed a tour of the Morgue Museum and lectured about the various duties of the Medical Examiner. Students Against Driving Drunk is an organization whose aim is stated in its name. According to Mr. Kaley, the club’s faculty advisor, students should join SADD because “it is the most relevant group that young people can be a part of. The purpose of SADD is to get across that if you have had too much to drink, please find another way home.’’ Mike Conners and Chris Fasanello attempt to gain the attention of the other members of the Pre-Med Club.

Under the direction of Miss Taglieri, WHAC has sponsored food drives to aid the hungry. The members collected cans of food throughout the school and then food was distributed by the Long Island Council of Chur- ches to needy families on Long Island. Another project has been a “fast for hunger” day during which students were urged to donate their lunch money to the hungry of the world. Students Against Violence on Earth (S.A.V.E.) hopes to promote peace and bring about an end of war. The group meets periodically to discuss world affairs and writes letters to world leaders and political figures. World Hunger Awareness Committee: First Row: Sivonne Hermann (treasurer).

The students of East Meadow High School are well aware of the impor- tance of business in America today. Someone once said that the “business of America is business.” This year over two hundred students have joined the Future Business Leaders of America, the largest club in the school. This club is sponsored by the Business Department of East Meadow High School. Its members aspire to be the future business leaders of America and are enrolled in one or more business courses. The club performs many community services. They are active in pro- viding Thanksgiving dinners for senior citizens. They have also sponsored a blood drive for the Red Cross. The primary aim of FBLA is, however, to prepare its members for the business world. The business world is a growing one, and East Meadow’s FBLA members are aware of the constantly growing need for business skill. Through workshops, through guidance by the clubs experienced ad- visors, and through actual experiences brought about by FBLA activities, members are given valuable insight into this growing and opportunity-filled field of business. The highpoint of the year’s activities is the annual convention of the FBLA held at the Concord Hotel in the Catskills. Each year East Meadow sends a large delegation and individual members compete in various tests of business skills. Donna Cantor and Ina Picker collect dues for FBLA at their table in the lobby. FBLA Bob Weidman and Randy Sorscher vote on important FBLA issues at the first meeting of the year.

The young musicians learn the fine points of musicianship and display their talents during concerts in the spring and fall. Members of the orchestra who have exceptional talent also per- form with the Long Island String Festival, and at the All-County and All-State Festivals. Just as the members of the or- chestra must practice daily, the chorus is put through its vocal paces daily. The hard work pays off when they present their annual concert to the plaudits of friends and family.

V Band 83 JAZZ ENSEMBLE AND STAGE BAND The Stage Band exists to allow those music students who are interested in acquiring basic skills in the fields of jazz, rock, and other types of popular American music to do so. The Stage Band travels to several clinics and jazz festivals each year. This affords the students the opportunity to hear other groups and participate in jazz clinics designed to solve basic musical problems. The Stage Band also serves as a “feeder” organization for the Jazz Ensemble. The purpose of the Jazz Ensemble is to study and perform the best contemporary and traditional jazz arrangements available. The members of the ensemble are selected by auditions at the beginning of each year. The Stage Band and Jazz Ensemble are both elite musical groups which perform in concerts at various times during the school year. They are among the best musicians the school has to offer and take pride in their performances. Tom Bedard takes a break as Rory Ciuffo plays on. Jazz Ensemble: First Row: Tom Bedard.

Proudly mar- ching down the field, the East Meadow music makers liven up the halftime shows at football games, provide the rous- ing background numbers at pep rallies, and lend their presence to local civic ceremonies. The Marching Band is made up of players from both the Symphonic and Concert Bands. Under the direction of Mr. Katz and Mr. Tibbetts, the band's repertoire includes both classical and popular pieces. Much of the band’s success can be traced to drum majors Rory Ciuffo and Todd Ficeto whose enthusiasm has become infectious among the other band members. It is at the football games that most students will remember the Marching Band. This year’s marching band has been fortunate to have had an excellent team to sup- port and the Marching Band did its best to offer its support. Drum Majors Rory Ciuffo and Todd Flc«to discuss a routine with Mr Tibbetts. One advantage of being part of the Marching Band is the opportunity to get a bird’s eye view of the football game. Marching Band 87 88 Theatre Guild THEATRE GUILD Theatre Guild is a group of forty students whose talents lie in artistic areas, ranging widely from acting, singing, and dancing to lighting, set design, costuming, and directing. Theatre Guild, headed by Mr. Hershkowitz, affectionately known as “Hersh,” barely had time to breathe between their many performances. The year began with the senior production of Beth Hanley’s Pulitzer Prize-winning play, Crimes of the Heart Following a mere month later was Musical Chairs, a mainstage musical comedy. Also in December was a children’s show, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, which toured the elementary schools. Next came Theatricomp. a theatrical competition bet- ween the classes. Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors were each responsible for choosing and presenting a one act play. The Juniors took best actress (Alyssa Sanders in Impromptu). The Seniors won, capturing best play and best actor (Fritz Brekeller in Actors Nightmare which was directed by Denise Verfenstein). Theatre Guild also presented several performances of The Showcase, a form of variety entertainment which is always a crowd-pleaser. Perfor- mances were given at the FBLA senior citizens' Thanksgiving dinner, in the children’s ward at Nassau County Medical center and at the March of Dimes bike-a-thon.

We have all faced much in school together and now it's time to graduate. You will always have a way to look back at the games, the clubs, the events, and the people who have shaped our years in East Meadow High School. I would like to thank everyone who assisted in the production of this yearbook. As anyone who worked at the meetings every day of the week until 7 PM knows, it was a very difficult job, but we made it. I would like to thank a few people in par- ticular: Mr. Sullivan, for staying with us even though he spent his time teaching at Woodland Junior High School, Cindy Grubin, for her all around assistance in the production of the book, Janet Walter, for her special touch on the divider pages, and my parents, for their understanding and assistance throughout the year. Without these people and a handful of other staff members and editors in the hundreds of hours of work to produce this yearbook, the job would have been totally unbearable. My greatest thanks to all of the members of the Resume staff and to Mr. Sullivan for the seemingly endless support. Once again, my sincerest wishes for all the best in the future. Your classmate.

FANTASTIC SEASON The Jets had a fantastic season, the best since 1972. They captured the Conference A championship with a record of seven wins and two losses, and just missed the Nassau County championship in the final game. In spite of the disappointment of the November 26 loss to Farmingdale, any assessment of the team’s performance during the 1983 season must include the words splendid, fantastic, and outstanding. Congratulations are in order for Coach Jack Boyle and his staff for the winning direction of the team and to the team captains and the team itself for its excellent performance. Throughout the season the Jets bulled their way through their opponents by outscoring them 142-91. There was sweet satisfaction in defeating Massapequa and Berner, the traditional rivals. At the Conference Championship held at C.W. Post College, the team’s chances were hurt when Peter Mayeski, the starting fullback, was injured early in the second quarter.

Their overall record was 8-7 and their league record was 6 6. Making the playoffs was a notable accomplishment, since East Meadow had a dismal record at the beginning of the season. Nevertheless, the Varsi- ty soccer team rebounded from a two win, five loss record, won four of the next five games, and lost to a tough Freeport team in the first game of the playoffs. Outstanding players were departing seniors Mike Geraci in all games and Andy Fredericks in the Bellmore Ken- nedy game. Mike Geraci made All- Division, as did Junior Mike Baudo. Coach Simonechi can be proud of a team that can fight when the going gets tough. Coach Mushorn feels that “con- sidering the level of competition, the Boys’ JV Soccer team had a suc- cessful year with an overall record of six wins, seven losses, and two ties.” Outstanding players were goalie Mike Sonnenstein, Scott Bigman and Rich Weimer in the 0-0 game against Farmingdale.

They then went to the Nassau County Finals, finishing with a 17-1-3 overall record.

In the playoffs, they defeated the formidable Garden City team in a 1-0 victory, downed Massapequa in the semi finals by a score of 2-0, and lost by a score of 0-2 to Berner in the county finals, the only team that had tied them during the regular season.

VOLLEYBALL The Varsity Volleyball team had an outstanding season. With only two players returning from 1982’s championship team, the pre-season expectations were not very high. The girls worked hard in learning their fundamentals. The ability grouping concept pitted the 1983 Jets against the top ten teams in Nassau County. They won two and lost five, but they learned their trade in the process. They sailed through the league season with nine wins and three losses, then won three out of four matches in the Nassau County championship playoffs, and advanc- ed to the quarter finals where they were defeated by a strong Lynbrook squad. Coach Tom Freda has every reason to be proud of the varsity volleyball team, par- ticularly of team captain Maria Giamanco, Bronwyn Volpe, and Kris Salerno.

For the thir- teenth year in a row the team was undefeated. With the assistance of Coach Cullum, the team came in First Place in the Division Champion- ships and won the County Championships. In addition, the team set a new County record of 1441 (out of a possible 1500). In the State Championships the team competed in two ways. First, they competed as a 4-man school team. In that competition, they tied for First Place but placed second after a tie breaker. The second competi- tion was as a 6-man sectional team (the 4-man plus 2 county all-stars). The sectional team won the State Championships. The teams star player was John Carella who had the 1 average in New York State and set a new County record of 292.38. Coach Cullum studies the targets.

The team's two wins, ten losses record certainly does not reflect the effort put in by Coach Grieco nor that of team captains Mandi Friem- dan and Liz Chase. Although the team will be losing seniors Fran Zappulla, Liz Chase, and Michele Ehrlich, it can build on talent that it will already have. One such talented player is Mandi Friedman, who was a Nassau County all-star player this year.

Although the team had a disappointing record of four wins and ten losses, the team put its efforts into developing young runners who promise better things to come in the future. Although the team will be losing its captain, All-Division Ben- nett Schwartz, and seniors Bob Hans, and Adam Friedman, future hopes rest with that promising Junior, All-Division and Most Valuable Player, Don Warokomski. The team is ably coached by Mr. Schwern, who practices with the team and is a skilled runner himself. Winter Track contains many of the same runners who are in cross-country. Led by team captain Bennett Schwartz, the team has done well in a relay meet against Syosset, and at an all- county developmental meet at Farmingdale College. Bennett Schwartz has run a 34.4 in the 300-yard dash at the Manufac- turers Hanover Christmas Classic track meet at Princeton, New Jersey. Roy Schwart ran a 7.0 in the 60-yard dash at the same meet. Strong support to the team is given by Don Warokomski, a junior who has run a 4:38 mile. Sophomore Scott Wharton looks good for the future as he continues to break his personal record on the mile. Coach Ken Sicoli feels confident that the team should have a good season. Bennett Schwartz's face reflects the physical demands of track Cross country: First Row: Debbie Clancy, Dovtd Alexander.

Chris Sheridan and Jay Angelino were outstanding during the team’s practices and games twice a week. The team’s extraordinary ef- fort was very evident in their victory against Farmingdale, one of the best teams in their division. Sheridan went as far as being accepted into the All Tournament team and the Herrick’s Tournament.

The Jets have a nine win, three loss record, ranking sixth out of fifty-four schools in Nassau county and fourteenth in all of Long Island. As this yearbook goes to press, the Jets are entering the Divisional tournament and we can be sure that the Jets will con- tinue to fight as they always have. The team will miss departing seniors. Kevin Wallace with a record of 14 wins and three losses and thirteen pins is ranked first in the division at 170 pounds. Joe Srycharz, who ranked second in the county last year, has a record of sixteen wins, three losses, and one tie. Chris Rendine and Bill Ger- mano are both top contenders, ranking third at 115 pounds and second at 170 pounds respectively. Next year’s prospects look very good with several young wrestlers returning, in particular Anthony Pascarella who is first in the Division at 101 pounds. Wreslting 123 Wrestling Shari Berger marks a strike for her teammate. DOWLING After finishing first place in their division, the girl’s bowling team made it to the Counties once again. Although they didn’t make it to the States, their outstanding effort should be commended. Team Cap- tain Liz Chase finished out the season with a high average of 162. During the season, she bowled the high game and series of the team. The anchor of the team, Francine Zappulla, did a great job of helping the team when they really needed it. Her 9th and 10th frame balls really helped the team to their winn- ing season. Of course, the team wasn’t complete without the excellent jobs of starters Andrea Wicks, Ilene Blitz, Liz Villano, and Shari Berger who always started the team off with a bang. Honorable mention goes to Yvette Buro, Jeannine Anglim, and Cheryl Kautzmann who were always there when they were needed. The team was brought together with the ex- traordinary coaching of Mr. Walz whose pointers and advice the team couldn’t do without. Under the coaching of Mr. Kostynick, the boys’ bowling team made a commendable effort to bring themselves to a winning season. Captain Steve Brandstetter, John Reumann, Evan Mandery, Gregg Solow, Mike Natale, and Mike Blitz composed the varsity team. The J. V. was made up of Rich Benevento, Andrew Reader. Mike Markowski, Tony Tristano, and Chris Fasanello. Captain Liz Chase shows off the bowling expertise that led the team to the Counties. 126 Bowling Flr ‘ row: Chwy| Kautzmann. Mary McGinnis.

The team has several strong players. Bill Germano has been the number one pit- cher for East Meadow High since the tenth grade. Tom Golebiewski was notable as the starting pitcher last year. Other important returning players are Bob Evans and John Comer who is for- midable at third base. Overall, the Jets’ strong points have been a positive attitude and a willingness to engage in hard work. Supported by these valuable qualities, and coached by Mr. Sicoli, the Jets should be able to equal or surpass last year's record.

After a Nassau County champion- ship last season. Coach Mushorn and the team are compensating for the loss of several seniors. However, the season does look promising. Maria Giamanco and Pat Douglas, both of whom were all-county last year as juniors, look very good again this year. Also strong are Joan Maniachi, Maureen Kitson, Bronwyn Volpe, and Linda Scuteri. The team, whose major strength lies in its pitching, looks forward to another county championship. Varsity Softball: First Row: Llr VUlano. Marla Giamanco. Unda Scuteri Second Row: Kathy Walsh.

Last year’s record was fairly good. The Jets ended up in third place, having won nine games and lost seven. This year the prospects are good, for the Jets have already won their first three (non- league) games. They beat Lynbrook 12-5, Freeport 13-8, and Mac Arthur 12-3. So far this year Captain Tom Bedard has established a school record by scoring eight goals in one game against Freeport. College scouts are looking closely at Captain Matt McQuillan, who was an All-Conference goalie in ’83 and is considered one of the top three goalies in Nassau County. Other strong players are Paul Pugliese, Sandy Frazzetta, Pete Mayeski, and John Kirk. J.V. Boy ’ lartntM Fir t Row: Claude O’Neil. Kevin Seaman. Steve Boccone, Kevin Gruosso.

Lacrosse Coach Christopher Widmann doesn’t expect as fantastic a season as last year’s eleven wins and one loss. The squad is smaller and has lost several valuable players to the varsi- ty team. However, it is a hard- playing team that will do its best. Already the Jets have won three (non-league) games, having defeated Lyn- brook 5-4, MacArthur 6-5, and Freeport 10-2. Led by team captains Claude O’Neil, Carl Hagen- bruch and John Cetin, the Jets are expected to make their presence felt throughout the league, especially in the crucial games against Hemp- stead and Berner.

GIRLS' LACROSSE The East Meadow Girls’ Lacrosse team is still new compared to the other fifteen teams in Nassau County. It is competing with teams from schools that have had Lacrosse for the past nine or ten years. Coach DiMenna says of the team, “I am excited about this season. I look forward to the girls improving their individual skills and to E.M. Girls’ lacrosse having a .500 season.” The team is composed of Juniors. As a new team they were fairly competitive, even though their record did not show it. Last year they had two wins, one tie, and ten losses. However, the ladies are willing to learn and improve their skills. Debbie Pape attempts to maneuver around Laura Cavallaro. 142 Girls’ Lacrosse ito� DiMenna yells instructions to one of the players.

Koenig Superintendent of Schools 212 Board of Education Administration To the Class of 1984. The yearbook is often thought of as a summation of one’s high school years. However, as the years pass, your yearbook will represent much more. It can be many things to many people. Your yearbook can be a reference book to identify a name or face from the past, a resource book for reunions or a spark for rekindling fond memories when you get together with friends from East Meadow It can be a veritable time capsule to be reopened on many occasions. The measure of the quality of a yearbook is contained in the answer to the question. “How successful has it been in fulfilling the aforementioned functions? I am confident that as the years pass, your year- book will provide as many fond memories as I have received from mine. Good luck in all of your future endeavors! Dr. Frank Saracino Principal Frank Saracino Principal Richard T. Barry Richard Gruber Assistant Principal Assistant Principal William W. Popelka Assistant Principal To The Class of 1984: Your high school yearbook will always be a reminder of the joys, sorrows, victories and defeats you shared with your high school classmates. Many important events have happened during your high school years and your yearbook will always give you opportunities for reflection on these memorable years. I wish every senior good health, happiness and the in- itiative to reach your goals.
