East Meadow High School - Resume Yearbook (East Meadow, NY)

Text from Pages 1 - 248 of the 1986 volume:

6 OP€NING This year we celebrate the Centennial of the Statue of Liberty. For one hundred years the torch of the Statue of Liberty has lighted the way of the huddled masses yearning to breathe free on these shores. Lady Liberty is also our symbol, for she holds high her torch, pointing to a glori- ous future. In honor of Lady Liberty we have chosen patriotism as the theme of this yearbook.

The above ore typical Monday morning remarks, for Monday is the one particular day of the week that somehow just doesn't seem . . . right. Somehow, It just shouldn't be. especially after o very hectic ond fun-filled weekend. It's everybody's off day! It’s a lozy day! Nothing gets done. But once the doy gets started ond it gets to be obout two o'clock, then the rest of the week will be just fine ... So. until two o'clock, let s just take it easy, let s sleep in the bock of the doss. Moybe we won't be colled on. Moybe Mr. Klein will be ab- sent today. Moybe Mr. Metviner will forget obout that test. Moybe. MONDRV MORNINGS IS Dating is one of the most important events of high school. It is certainly the only interesting one ond much better than ony of the dosses. From that first guarded glance to the actual going out on o dote, the student experiences the greatest anxiety. There Is always the fear of rejection, but courage is rewarded. Then comes the actual dote, perhaps o movie, o party, moybe even a romantic dinner in some dimly lit restaurant. Then the romance Is on, but will It lost to the ending of the senior year? Just A Date V Transportation Finally, we're Seniors and we have our cars. No more buses, no more taxis, no more bumming rides. The wheels have made us free. UJe’ve come a long way, baby! Bach in the good old days, we rode the bus, the yellow monster. ULIe copied homework and we gossiped. Mostly, we slept In the mornings. In the afternoons we grabbed whatever moved. UJe even walked. TRANSPORTATION 17 FRSHION 19 SENIORITIS There comes o time, deep into thot final year of high school, when seniors heor a distort voice, o for awoy trumpet thot beckons them. Then it is that these seniors succumb to thot dreod ond ancient scourge, the horrible affliction known os senioritis. Behavior becomes erratic: the once devoted senior now shows little interest in studies. The senior cuts doss, foils to prepare for tests, ond feigns o smug ond know-it-oH ottitude. There ore also physical changes, notably o distortion of the anotomy. for the seniors hove become too big for their britches. Medicol science need not seek for for the couse. College opphcotions ore in. doss rank is determined ULlho needs to study? The crossness of youth has token over. Feor not! The molody is seldom fotol. Patience ond time wiD cure oil. 20 SCNIORITIS HRUOW€€N 23 One of CMHS's most veneroble trodltlons Is the Halloween Donee which this year was held on November 2. in the gymnasium. The donee was hosted by the Senior Class and the members of the Key Club. The gathering was truly rep esenta- tive of monsterdom: clowns, nerds, bobies. French maids, ghouls, goblins ond practically everything else showed up for the donee. Probably the SRT's w' iich were held that morning put everyor e in the mood for the dance. fundraising is one of the major activities of practically every club in €ost Meadow High School. The money raised can be used to support various student projects. The items sold vary. Most often the clubs sell candy, for these are sure-fire winners. Practically everybody has a sweet tooth, and at fifty cents a box. M iM's are a bargain to a hungry student. fls the year progresses, clubs turn to other fundraisers. One club will sell a pocket calendar.- another will sell candles for the holidays. FUNDRAISERS 24 fUNDRRISCRS FOOD!!!! Food! UUe lived For It. No motter if we bogged o lunch, ate In the cofeterio, or took the other alternative, UU€ N€€D€D FOOD. But in those forty one minutes, we tried to hit oil the local places: Floy's. ILIhite Costle, Mickey D’s, Mr. Do- nut, ond the ever popular Pizza King. Then we tried to get bock to doss, let's hope the cor doesn't break down. Mr. Krous, you'll nev- er believe whot happened on the way bock from lunch. Veoh, I thought you wouldn't. Jr. Prom Proms toke up o lot of time. First the committee has to be chosen. They hove to choose the holl and whot arguments that con couse. I ujont Leonard’s of Great Neck. My sister got married there. That's too expensive! Do you think we’re millionaires? Somebody else chimes in. How about the Salisbury Inn? The doss of 86 finally chose The Moriott Hotel in Uniondole. The dote was Flpril 20. 1985. There was still lots to do. That special dress still hod to be pur- chased along with the accessories, the tux..., the limo .... the corsage . . . Hey. I forgot. I N€€D R DRT€! 26 JR. PROM - JR. PROM 27 During the week before the Homecoming Gome, students traditionally display their school spirit. This display generally takes some bizarre forms. One day is devoted to the wearing of the school colors and is. appro- priately enough, known os Color Day. There ore also o Jersey Day. o Hot Day. ond o Dress-up Doy. The most populor ore Jer- sey Doy ond Hot Doy. Spirit Week's ontics ore not confined solely to the students. Administrators, teachers, ond secretarial stoff members oil shore in supporting our Jets.

Then the Rockettes kicked to 'T love o Rainy Night and the ever populor Onaiord, €ast Meodouj. Pep Rally The Cheerleaders formed a mount” and the vorious teams lined up and urere duly cheered, but the undeniable highlight of the roily was the appearance of the Varsity Jets football team. The crowd went wild, for the Jets can look forward to a winning season. fill Cast Meadow High School was at the Pep Rally and we like to think we were joined by Mike Kostynick. who emceed the event for so many years. He is now port of our traditions. a tradition ... HOMECOMING wm 32 HOMECOMING Sunday, October 20, 1985, was o cool and windy foH doy. It was also Homecoming Doy ot Cast Meadow High School. The Jets faced the Baldwin Bruins before on overflow crowd ond many thousands more who witnessed the gome on Coble- vision. The holftime show was truly impressive os the Rockettes kicked ond the school bond, under the direction of Mr. Katz, ployed In whot hos been described os one of the best holftime shows staged on Long Island. The high point of the celebration wos the crowning of the 1985 Home- coming Queen. Candidates Debbie Rdjomi, Kelly Cox. Michelle laValle, Jennifer Morris and Undo Ruggiero were driven to the fifty yard line. The crowd held its breath in suspense ond then . .. Undo Ruggiero was crowned 1985 Homecoming Queen. More thrills followed os the Jets returned to the field ond defeated the Bruins, 36-8.

The arrival of the yearbook provides an interesting glimpse of the past year's activities and a satisfaction of our curiosities as to what activities and which people are the subjects of this book. However, the most enjoyable moments are yet to come. In the future years, this book will be a storehouse of memories to be rekindled at times of reunions or just a casual visit from an alumnus of Cast Meadow High School. It is then when you'll be able to reflect and say, Thanks for the memories. Good luck in your future endeavors! Sincerely, Frank Saracino Principal UUilliam UJ. Popelka Assistant Principal Richard T.

However, there is one oreo of which we ore especially proud: our academic program. There is o basic respect for the fundomentols and for scholarship. UJhile no one would consider €MHS on ivory tower, the scholastic program offers o solid college preparatory course. Here our students will leorn the skills which will contribute to their success os they pursue higher goals in education. No matter whot the student's intel- lectual ability might be. the academic program will offer something both chal- lenging and rewording. One aspect of the academic program of which we con be justly proud is the honors program for those students who wish to seek excel- lence. Another aspect of this program is the advance placement courses in which students con eorn college credit while still in high school. A newcomer to the academic scene is the C.UU. Post S.C.A.l.€. program in which students con earn college credit in accounting and computing. The ort of typing.

The overage students ore adept in creating the most formidable barriers to the expansion of knowledge. Always thinking they ore oheod of the gome, they open their books only on the night before o test. Comforted with the delusive illusion that they remember whot the teacher said in doss, they suddenly discover in o moment of hideous panic that they remember nothing. I've never heard any of this stuff before. ULIhy con't he explain it to us? Then begins the ordeol known os CRAMMING. Most students open their books, skim through the first few pages, check out o few tunes on the radio, return desultorily to their text to skim through o few more pages, ond then in response to o grumbling stomach, head for the kitchen to raid the fridge. O, well, it's bock to the books. I really must get through this stuff. Maybe I con coll More or Allison or Rob. Maybe they hove good notes.” At this point our brosh ond confident student also starts looking around for small, tiny pieces of paper on which to copy, in micro-dot fashion, oil the work of the lost two weeks. Maybe the teacher will be absent!! 120 STUDVING education at €ast Meadow High School is not o strictly theoreticol offoir. Knowledge is not something that remains on on abstract plane. It Is something practical having on everyday appli- cation. LUe put ideas to work. UUhether it is on ort doss or on outo shop. €ast Meodow students ore constantly on the olert for practical applications for their knowl- edge. There is o special feeling of joy that comes from applying the principles that hove been learned in doss to on everyday problem. Theory ond practice walk hand in hand in Cost Meodow. 122 VOCATIONfll VOCATIONAL COURSES VOCATIONAL 123 126 rn 2 c c n 7i To the Closs of '86: What con I soy to oil the people I hove known through some of the most important years of my life?

Proudly marching down the field, the Cost Meadow music makers liven up the halftime shows ot footboll gomes, provide the rousing background numbers ot pep rallies, ond lend their presence to local civic ceremonies. The Morching Bond is mode up of players from both the Symphonic ond Concert Bonds. Under the direction of Mr. Katz ond Mr. Tibbetts, the bond's repertoire includes both classical ond popular pieces. Much of the bond's success con be traced to drum majors Jimmy Se'pio and Rob Von Volkenburg whose enthusiasm hos be- come infectious among the other bond mem- bers.
