East Rockaway High School - Rock Yearbook (East Rockaway, NY)

 Dear Seniors, You are the class which begins East Rockaway High School’s second fifty years. The first fifty years imparted to us the standards and traditions under which you entered this school. During your tenure here, those standards were raised and the traditions became more entrenched. You have had to respond to those changes. Frequently your response has provided us with the awareness of the direction which this high school must follow. The adaptations which the Class of ’87 has had to make to meet the changes and the increased demands has provided an excellent learning situation. Throughout the lives of the individual members of this class adaptations will have to be made and new demands will need to be met. Our staff has tried to provide you with knowledge of specific subject matters. It has also attempted to assist you in learning the various aspects of daily living. It is our hope that the specific and general knowledge which you have acquired here will provide you with a strong foundation. The teachings of your families and of your school are the basis of your training and must provide you with your competitive edge. Members of the Class of ’87 take with you our best wishes for your success and happiness! You should leave knowing that you will be missed. You have left behind a legacy which underclassmen will strive to match and which you will strive to add to in your new environments. Yours truly, Kathleen Semergieff, Ph.D. Principal

In everything she does Dr. Semergieff has only one thing in mind — that of the good of the school. ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL MR. EDWARD CROWLEY As Assistant Principal Mr. Crowley has come to know most of us in one way or another. During this time he has become known as a strict disciplinarian who is also willing to help you at any time. ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL MR. GERALD HONIG Although he has more responsibilities this year Mr. Honig still has time for a smile and hello in the halls. It is things like this and his fairness in carrying out the duties of his job that make him well liked and respected. 18 Faculty
