Scot B. had a crash on Prom night while sleeping at the wheel. Wendy thought Jerry DeGuzman was a girl and fixed him up w ith Glenn E.

No one told us w hat it was really like. So let us be the first to prepare you for: 1. having the ice cream come at 10:00 when it was supposed to be here at 7:30. 2. counting out all the quarters to wrap and finding out you don’t have any wrappers. 3. trying to get money off of seniors for dues. 4. trying to have a class meeting with seniors present. 5. being able to go home at 11:30 and not having a ear. 6. having a dinner with no food, forks, help, or customers. 7. meeting yearbook deadlines, getting money, pictures, ads. and finally listening to complaints. 8. w riting your life story in 200 words or less for a college application. 9. being able to go to Washington without money, transportation, people, or chaperons. 10. looking forward to having a mailbox and finding out you only get junk mail. 11. going to SCCC and finding out you're smarter than they are. 12. finding out you may not graduate because you failed your midterms. 13. sleeping alone because your teddy bear didn t come in yet. 14. waiting for college notices. 15. reserv ing activity days in September. 16. getting charged twice for one week of newspapers. 17. senior privileges''' 18. @$% c7@frustration C%$ «@'+: C%$ $%C + )@ 19. competing with the SGA. 20. admitting you're gonna miss all those things you swore you never would. Read these and take heart — before you turn around and find out it's the beginning of June and wonder where all tin time went. With all of our best wishes. The Seniors, Class of '79. 47 . r Kfr:.4i I w ft Then said a teacher, speak to us of teaching. And he said: No man can reveal to you aught but that which already lies half asleep in the daw ning of your knowledge. The teacher who walks in the shadow of the temple, among his followers, gives not of his wisdom, but rather of his faith and his lovingness. If he is indeed wise, he does not bid you enter the house of his wisdom, but rather leads you to the threshold of your ow n mind. The astronomer may speak to you of his understanding of space but he cannot give you his understanding. The musician may sing to you of the rhythm which is in all space, but he cannot give you the ear which arrests the rhythm nor the voice that echoes it. And he who is versed in the science of numbers can tell you of the regions of weight and measure, but cannot conduct you ‘thither. for the ision of one man lends not its wings to another man.

Quebec threatens to secede As graduation nears and the excitement of what the future will bring us grows, many of us have little time to think or will not admit to some things we’ll miss when we do leave. There were the good times with friends and the times when all the hard work, finally, paid off. There were the special teachers who were on our side, for once, and those that guided us through the rough times. Then, though we swore we never would, at one time or another we’ll find ourselves reminiscing of the times when we counted the number of days left of a class, or how we tried to get down the twenty corridor safely. We’ll remcmlier with a smile, our financial difficulties and the face of some kid that annoyed us every time we saw him. Most all of us can recall some really bad limes that might have caused cold feelings and hard hearts. But as time not only fades these memories, it also gives us wisdom to understand what we learned from them and to know that it might have been belter to give through such experiences, if only to know that we can make it through. Others talk about what the world is coming to and what hard lives we’ll have to suffer through, but in Gmtinucd on page 74 73 EDITORIAL At a time when all that is seen is the happiness and the accom- plishment of our goals it is nec essary to take a look at the time spent reaching thes goals. It wasn't all fun and games, it wasn't all laugh- ter. A lot of it was quite a struggle , a few loud words, a few slammed doors and perhaps a tear or two. But no action, no matter how small was ever meant to hurt anyone. We worked together, at first with great excitement and anticipation of seeing a finished product.'' But after our first we picked ourselves up only to falter again. This time we fell. Like a child learning to walk we realized that if we didn t keep pic’king ourselves up we would never walk, hut c rawl our whole lives. It was ten) hard yet to stand on our weak feet alone so we reached out to each other and together we walked. As the pace pic’ked up we found we became proud of our walking. So proud that we had to each prove what we could do as individuals and forgot about the unit we made up. We went off the path and our oneness was disbanded. We went far off the path but not so far that we couldn't turn around and sec we were wrong, see we were headed in the wrong direction. It took a lot of swallowing of self-pride, a lot of sincereness, a lot of friendship, but we made it. we found our path once again. Once bac k on the trail, our goal came closer and closer into sight. We kept our pac e, there was no time to falter again. Succ ess bec ame clearer and clearer until there it was right in front of us. But just before we ran and embraced it we turned around and took a look back. Behind us, we saw where we had gone wrong and it put a mark on our happi- ness. We turned around once again and proceeded to cross the line. Now that we are on the outside looking in we wish to give those still inside a bit of friendly advice. Always remember that going off the path does not prove anything. It does not make men and women out of us, instead it makes enemies. The most important thing you will ever have is yourselves as a unit. Band together and use that power to achieve. It's like building a rainbow — no one person pos- sesses all the colors, it takc s a s|x ctrum of many to make it stand in the sky high over our heads. (cont. from page 73) each one of us there is the hope of prosperity and anticipation of finding our happiness that is only beginning. So. as we make that one last dash for the door our final exit will be hampered most by the familaritv we'll lose once we're out, although its memories w ill help us reac h our future goals and happiness. 74 LETTERS TO THE EDITOR It is appropriate at this time to thank a woman who has given the Class of '79 much of her time and much help. Mrs. G)hen, it is important you know that the senior class appreciates all you did for us. We remember that you became our advisor when no one else wanted us. We remember that you always had a suggestion when we were out of ideas. We remember that you supported us when others turned away. We remember, Mrs. Cohen, and we thank you. This letter does not require an answer, in fact, it is a statement. It is addressed to those few friends who made us realize that teacher is not a dirty word. They separated themselves from the rest and instead of criticism, these friends gave us their time , their help, their ideas, and in their own ways they showed us that they cared. They didn't fol- low some who just walked by or those who considered their jobs only to be 5 days a wk. from 8- 2:30. For those of you who believed in overtime, we thank you and we love you!! Class of '79 Children of Today Soc rates Children of today love lux- ury. They have bad manners, contempt for authority, and they show disrespect for their elders. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradic t their parents. How lucky we all arc to have Ix en preceded by those who have made a school out of a lonely lifeless building. All the standards had been set and our paths had been paved before we even entered Fallshurg. We knew our direction from the moment we started our journey and along the way we met up with their spirit that helped guide us. Their feet have worn out certain spots on the floors and their pens have etched out familiar designs on the desks. Even their happiness has be e n reincarnated in the laughter of the underclassmen. We are thankful to have had the opportunity to follow in their footsteps and to add to their good deeds that will never Ik forgotten. Freedom of speech in the U.S. has been an institute in itself. Every person here has the right to say whatever they wish to say. Whether or not the people who hear w hat was said approve or disapprove or wish to sue is another matter. And whether or not certain or all profane words offend some is also another matter. Freedom of speech is applicable in schools. They are after all a part of the U.S. chatter in company, gobble up dainties on the table, cross their legs and tyrannize their teaehers. What? Is this what we have become?

Fallshurgh Athletic Director, Roland Allen, announeed today, the retirement of 32 of FCS’s fine varsity athletes. Here now, is a critique of the achievements, past and present, of seniors in action and a view on how their retirements will affect the future of sports at FCS. Starting the sear off, the Comet hooters” progressed each year to the point where they received an invitation to Sectionals to battle John S. Burke. They didn't achieve a Sec. 9 title, but we're proud of them just the same. Seniors included: Mike Kwartler (ccn. fullback). Danny DiVita (ccn. fwd.). Glenn Eiger (right halfback). Phil Davis (right fullback), and George DGraw (goalie — for as many games as his bones withstood). G. Eiger and Danny DiVita both received the honors of being selected to the all-UCAL team. The Girls' Tennis team had no league championship, but they all confessed that they enjoyed tremendously, their season together. Four senior girls will be missed next year, not only for their perform- ances, but also fora part of each one's own personality that they con- tributed to the team. These 4 girls we re : Tracy Posne r (1st singles), Valerie We lf (2nd singles). Wendy Wilsem (3rd singles), and Steffi Lund (1st doubles). The Girls Fie ld Hockey te am became a league power over the past few ye ars. The y came e ry elose to sectionals this year anei elid a good job e f showing what Falls, is capable of. The y will suffer ne xt Near from a le ss of 4gex el alhle tes: Jackie Gre e k (right wing). Celes- tine Ham (right inner, Fe lita Gilmore (fullback) and Cheryl Black (fwd.). The Volle yball te am met an untimely e nd this se ase n, but many of the girls took the games se rie� usly and played to the Inst of their abil- ity. One team member will Ik le asing and will not ge away unnoticed — Sanelra Lipsky (Capt.), who trice! to keep the team together to the best e f her ability. The Cross Country team is fairly young and should have an excel- lent future sine-e they will not Ik losing anyone to graduation. The surprise Ce me t te am e f the Fall se ason was the Golf te am, as the ) move d from league demrmat to the top. They also sent a young man te� States this Spring. Included in this team were 2 sen- ie� rs: Je ff Grossman anel Aaron Salovin. During the Winter months fe� r the past many years, the Boys Bas- ketball team has re igne el Supre me, even sending a te am te the State Tournament last ye ar. But. just as alme� st anything else needs a rebuilding pe rie d somewhere alemg the line , this ye ar was that period e� f time for emr te am. They e nele d with a re e-oref of .oOO and expecta- tions of a Supre me future once again. Three seniors helped the team’s effort this year: Hank Greenbe rg. Donald Posted, and Alvin Allen. The Cheerleading squad helped to keep the Comet spirit up to its known |H tential. The squad will suffer the loss of Dawn Wilson, Felita Gilmore . Sandra Samuels, anel Sandra Patton. They eliel mue h to aid in the effort of the Boys’ Basketball team. Eae h year the Girls' Basketball te am has shown marke el improve- ment and as the youngest te am in the le ague. they appear to have a very promising future. The Girls’ Ski te am didn't win a championship, but had some e xcellcnt individual performances. Retiring will Ik Carole Brewer, and Joanna King. The Boys' Ski team put it te� ge the r this year for a le ague champi- onship. It will be a difficult fe at for the m to duplicate ne xt year with the loss of 6 starting rae e rs: Mike Kwartler (the only member of the team to make State s). Re ge r Clairmont, Phil Davis, Je ff Grossman. Scot Bedik. anel Mark Steingart. With lots of practice, the Boys Te nnis te am consistently built up its ability with the help of 4 seniors: Re� ger Clairmont, Jeff Gross- man. David Paul, anel Be� bby He lms. The Boys' and Girls' Track teams suffered from poor training facilities, but the y still fought strong. They were supported by the fine efforts of 6 retiring seniors: Dawn Wilson (100 yd. elash, 220, 440 relay). Wendy Wilson 880. 440 relay, mile relay), Celestine Ham (220, 100 yd. elash. 880 re-lay). Cheryl Black (220. 100 yd. elash. hurdle s). Felita Gilmore (100 yd. dash. 440 relay, long jump) and e� n the Boys' te am — Jose Rodriguez (long distance). The Baseball team, like all the either te ams mentioned, have always had the spirit that F'alls. is known for. They will be losing 8 senior players: Ge e� rge D Graw. Mike Kwartle-r, Danny DiVita. Hank Gre e nlM rg. Aaron Salovin, Andy Te itelbaum. Matthew Milunic, and Glenn Eiger. To these 32 fine athle tes, we. on Ix half of the entire FCS body, wish to say THANK YOU fe� r doing such a fine job of representing Fallsburgh Central High School. The se athletes have he l|� e el us te� show the re st of UCAL and Section 9. that FCHS's Comets are still 1 in so many ways. On behalf of the se 32 stuelents. we're wishing all future FCS ath- lete's all the luck possible. We know you'll keep up the fine reputa- tion of our school. 77 Remember When . . . Jamie was popping gum in Mr. jJeytin's class and he told her to pop something else. In 7th grade science, David W. was chewing gum and Mr. Malamud pointed at him and then at the garl age can and David sat in the garbage. Steig said to Mark S., Mark, how old were you when your brain died? We all went to see Romeo and Juliet and the ashtray fell from the ceiling? Ilene, Carole and Jackie arrived home from field hockey camp three days earlier than everyone else for not so unknown reasons . Danny put his arm around Tracy P. and she pushed him in the garbage can. Failing your first Eng. G mp. paper in eollege. Andy T.'s toy telephone rang in Chemistry on Jr. day and Mr. Beylin answered the real phone. Veronica got stuck in a swimming tube and had to use butter to get out. Colleen slid dow n the lianister at the college and almost killed herself. Valerie yelled Oh sh on the cheerleading floor and everyone heard. Dougla ha ed a mouse around the room with a garbage can.
