TRACES Enrico Fermi High School Enfield, Connecticut EVERY DAY A MEMORY cting was the change in grac faculty at iunrico Fermi had a big -hand We can recall, now that we are senior years of strong friendships, that have grow “hi’s’ casually exchanged in the hallw close, solid relationships. These relatic have given us compgnioil$hip 4s ticipated lit’ the structured learning classroom, in. the frenzied Teamina of ad ' w WM last a acco an :e, we r ' jg y ' ' m arts DEDIC Mr. Seymour Schonberger One would find it difficult to forget the kindly, cheerful face of Mr. Seymour Schonberger as he strolled the halls. His comforting presence was felt by many, especially the multitude of students whose high school days he made easier, and the numerous parents who profited from his counsel. To all, Mr. Schonberger dispensed discipline tempered by understanding and guidance based on experience. In 1985, Mr. Schonberger retired after thirty-six years of commitment to education. Upon receiving his Bachelor’s Degree in Music and his Master’s Degree in Supervision of Music Education, Mr. Schonberger began his lengthy career as a Music Supervisor in Harlem, Mon- tana. He used his musical training in schools in New London, East Hampton, and in Amity Regional High School, all in Connecticut. In 1969, Mr. Schonberger came to Enfield as a housemaster at Kosciuszko Junior High School. Five years later, he moved to Enrico Fermi where he functioned in the capacity of housemaster until his retirement in June of 1985. Mr. Schonberger, we at Enrico Fermi would like to extend our thanks for your dedication to the student body. The graduating class of 1986 wish you health and happiness always. ‘‘The Lord bless you and keep you. The Lord make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you. The Lord lift up His face upon you and give you peace.” (Num. 6:24-27) M ION Mr. Robert Foley This year, in June of 1986, Mr. Robert Foley will retire after thirty-three years of art education. We, the 1986 graduating class, would like to dedicate Traces 1986 to this well-deserving man. Mr. Foley received his teaching degree in 1952, and began teaching in Greenfield, Massachusetts. He later entered the United States Army, and after his discharge, he studied architecture at the University of Vienna in Vienna, Austria. In 1961, he embarked on his solid teaching career at Thomas Alcorn School in En- field. When he was later transferred to Enfield High School he was given the responsibility of organizing the Art Department. Mr. Foley subsequently came to Enrico Fermi High School when it opened in 1971 . This patient and soft-spoken man has been the chairman of the Art Department here at Enrico Fermi since 1979. In this role, he has inspired countless numbers of students to develop their artistic skills and to enhance the talents they possess. Mr. Robert Foley has set an example for others to follow, and for this well-rounded example, Mr. Foley, we wish you the best of everything. “May the road rise up to meet you; May the wind be always at your back; May the sun shine bright upon your fields; And until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of His hand.” (Irish Blessing) Sunday Monday Tuesday Wedn Saturday IU, anal.ly.

The end of our four-year journey has quickly ap- proached. The class of 1986 has made it through the rough times and shared the good times with friends and teachers that we will never forget. We have only to visualize the obstacles we overcame and the goals we achieved. We survived the “unforgettable” freshman year, always being looked upon as the youngest and frequently being the victim of a prac- tical joke. During our sophomore year we faced head-on the new C- policy. It required that we academically achieve in order to participate in ex- tracurricular activities or graduate with our class. In our Junior and Senior years, we had to face the challenge of choices: choice of college, choice of a career or choice of a job. Now we look back at the barriers we encountered and see the reward of hav- ing learned, of having matured, and of having com- pleted high school. Through the years, we stuck together and made special friends with whose help and support we were able to achieve. As class president and friend, I would like to ex- press my deepest thanks for the good times that we have shared. Always remember that you can reach any goal as long as you never say “I can’t” and think “I will.” Sincerely, Michele M.

Students from Brazil, Germany, Japan, Sweden, and France have made their homes in Enfield for the 1985-1986 school year. These students are living a uni- que experience. Being foreign students requires that they learn to live and to function in an en- vironment different from their own. Maturity is also required of these students as they learn to adapt to a new culture. The people they come in contact with in turn benefit from the students’ diverse backgrounds. Enrico Fermi High School has had a tradition to have foreign students since the fall of 1972. We .it hope the tradition will be carried IL on in the years to come. 1 .

Madeleine shared her eclectic experiences as part of the Traces 1986 yearbook staff. States must go to school for twelve years; in Sweden, we go for only nine. We can’t choose the subjects we wish to study; all students study the same things, choosing only the foreign language they would prefer and the arithmetic level most comfortable for them. I became an exchange stu- dent because I wanted to ex- perience a different culture. Our countries are very dif- ferent, but I like the United States, and although I ' ll be go- ing home in June, 1986, I ' m sure I’ll be back. To go to a country with another culture and language is always a special experience, especially if one goes alone without knowing anyone at all. It’s exciting and a bit scary, not knowing what to expect. Then, when it’s time to go back home, it ' s sad to leave behind new family and friends. My name is Madeleine Karlsson, and I’m one of the ex- change students at Enrico Fer- mi this year. I’m from Sweden, where the schools are very dif- ferent from Enrico Fermi. Students here in the United 63 i know that it will be. And we shall celebrate We shall taste the wine And the fruit. Celebrate the sunset and the sunrise the cold and the warm the sounds and the silences the voices of the children. You I Leonard Nimoy 1 wish for all mankind The sweet simple joy That we have found together. 64 Enfield Board of Education First Row: Mrs. Esther Alaimo-Jute, Mrs. Antoinette Strom, Mrs. Joan Reuter, Mrs. Claire Hunt.

For the past four years, each of us has received instruction in academics, business, the arts and sciences, family living, and industrial and vocational education from a competent and devoted staff. We have been given support and guidance from professionals. We wish to thank all who have devoted their time and energies to helping us mature socially, emotionally, and academically. Our memories of staff members who have unselfishly given their time and knowledge will always be paramount, whether we enter the work world or continue our educa- tion at another institution. Some of these teachers we would like to specifically thank on these pages. All deserve a vote of gratitude, and a round of applause.

Chairperson of the Social Studies Department since 1975, and a teacher at Enrico Fermi since the school’s opening, Mr. Ouellette teaches objectively, with lectures aimed at increasing his students awareness of the needs of their com- munity. A fair and willing teacher, he eagerly allows students to express their opinions, as well as respond to his. Mr. Ouellette is one of the teachers Enrico Fermi can be proud of and one we are grateful to have as an in- structor and mentor. The modernization of the Business Department has been a main goal of department chairper- son Mrs. Henrietta Montagna for the past fifteen years. The acquir- ing of modern business machines has increased the skills of business students, skills which are invaluable to those wishing a career in the business world. A well-organized, astute, and skilled woman, Mrs. Montagna is an ideal role model for many future business leaders. Always ready to help in a crisis, her advice has many times further helped her students. For your dedication, we thank you, Mrs. Montagna. Mrs. Montagna Mr. Michael Duffy Mathematics Mr. Robert Foley Chairperson, Art Mr. Joseph Giangrasso Music A New Face at Fermi A newcomer to the Foreign Language Depart- ment is Richard Askin. Straight from college, Mr. Askin began teaching at Cathedral High School in Springfield, Massachusetts. He has been in the Enfield School System for the past ten years. The first nine were at John F. Kennedy Junior High School. He teaches Spanish, which has been his ambition since high school. Mr. Askin thinks highly of the staff at Enrico Fermi, and the Foreign Language Department is, in his opin- ion, outstanding. He finds the older students a refreshing change from the younger ones at John F. Kennedy Junior High. With Mr. Askin’s help and ex- perience the Foreign Language Department will remain strong in the future.

This fund-raiser is put together with a lot of effort and time by its dedicated adv isor, Mr. Donald Flebotte. A teacher at Enrico Fermi since 1973, Mr. Flebotte has organized the magazine drive necessary for the boosting of the senior classes’ funds since 1975. He has also reached out and af- fected the lives of many of us through his enlightening instruction in psychology. Those of us who have benefited from it will long remember the “characteristics of motivated behavior’’ and ‘‘defense mechanisms.” In addition to the magazine drive, Mr. Flebotte has assisted Mr. Robert Knight in the organization of gradua- tion ceremonies. Mr. Flebotte deserves a round of applause and a big thank-you for his dedication to the senior class. A superb teacher who brings to life the fun of learning, Mr. An- drew DePino has been an instruc- tor of physics for the past five years. He teaches it with an en- thusiasm and zest which clearly ex presses the philosophy that physics should be fun to learn and easy to comprehend. His demonstrations and lectures are clear and concise because they are based on common, everyday things. Also the advisor of the Physics Club, Mr. DePino is always there when he’s needed, and is always the first to praise a correct solu- tion, as well as to guide a baffled mind. Thank you, Mr. DePino for your knowledge, understanding, and enthusiasm. Mr. DePino Mrs. Eugenie Langhorne Business Mr. Kenneth Lessard Special Education 79 New Faces At Fermi Mr. Richard Mankus Social Studies Mr. Richard McCarthy Social Studies Mr. Giatrakis Enrico Fermi High School is a learning place; one is supposed to make mistakes. Learning from one ' s mistakes helps to better equip a per- son to deal with society.” These words of wisdom come from Mr. George Giatrakis, a newcomer to the Social Sciences Department. A teacher of Russian History and American History, Mr. Giatrakis comes to Enrico Fermi from John F. Kennedy Junior High School. Also formerly of Thaddeus Koskiuszko Junior High School, he has been in the Enfield School System for fifteen years. Mr. Giatrakis has nothing but nice things to say about Enrico Fermi. He feels that the students have a good attitude. I see a different set of priorities in the older kids — that’s good.” We here at Enrico Fermi are proud to boast a fine new teacher, and we hope he continues to be enthusiastic about our school and its student body. Mr. Raymond Mercik Chairperson, Foreign Language Mr. John Stasio is one of the new faces at Enrico Fermi this year. He has been in the Enfield School System for fifteen years, and has taught at Henry Barnard Elementary School, and both Thaddeus Koskiuszko and John F. Kennedy Junior High Schools prior to coming to Enrico Fermi. He is presently assigned to in- school suspension where he is a jack-of-all-trades who is attempt- ing to teach students in a large variety of academic areas. Mr. Stasio feels that “Enrico Fermi High School has an at- mosphere that fertilizes the growth of friendship and helps students and teachers to self- actualize. We hope he will con- tinue to think of Enrico Fermi as a super place, and remain for a long time. Welcome, Mr. Stasio. Mr. Stasio Mr. Richard Miltz Business Miss Mary Mackley English Mrs. Donna McCarthy Foreign Language Mrs. Elizabeth Nicholls Food Service Program Mrs. Teresa Marek Foreign Language Mr. John Lyons Driver Education Mrs. Henrietta Montagna Chairperson, Business Mrs. Mary Massey English Mrs. Lois Morman Business Mr. Steven Olson Chairperson, Science Mrs. Georgette Pare Nurses ' Aide Program Mr. Joseph Nuccio Physical Education Mr. Thomas Ouellette Chairperson, Social Studies Mrs. Elaine Parakilas Reading Mrs. Mary O ' Brien Special Education Mr. Kendall Owens Mathematics Mr. Joseph Pasternak Social Studies Unsung Heroes Mr. Mercik Mr. Raymond Mercik is a very familiar face around Enrico Fermi. Everyone knows “El Jefe” with his cheerful and distinc tive laugh. A teacher at Enrico Fermi and chairperson of the Foreign Language Department since the school’s opening, his perkiness makes his Spanish classes stimulating. It is impossible not to learn and difficult not to enjoy it. For the past three years, Mr. Mercik has organized a program of student sponsorship for three children through the Christian Children ' s Fund. He has also made comfortable and secure the lives of the foreign exchange students, and directed the Foreign Ex- change Program since Enrico Fer- mi opened. Mr. Mercik deserves a round of applause for brightening the lives of others. Mrs. Cathy LaTaille has always been an excellent source of help and instruction for her students. She has taught mathematics at Enrico Fermi for many years, and consistently expends time and energy insuring each individual gains competency in her area. If one explanation is not adequate, she readily rephrases, rediagrams, and resolves. A vivacious woman, Mrs. LaTaille is willing to listen and try to help solve any problem, be it in computers, arithmetic, or life. All of us who have been fortunate enough to have had her as a teacher will always appreciate her skill, knowledge, and patience.

Kennedy Junior High School. Mr. Cutler is very comfortable at Enrico Fermi and already has new projects in mind, such as im- proving the co-ordination of in- school activities. A strong believer in communication, he is striving to become acquainted with the stu- dent body. His hobbies include woodworking and making lamp- shades; much of his work is displayed in his office. Taking over as housemaster of Blue House in the 1985-1986 school year was Mr. William Cutler. Mr. Cutler has worked i n the Enfield School System for many years. He was a special education teacher at Thaddeus Koskiuszko Junior High School, Harriet Beecher Stowe Elementary School, and Eli Whitney Elemen- tary School before becoming a housemaster at Thaddeus Koskiuszko Junior High School.

Unsung Ms. Monica de Haan Ms. Monica de Haan has been a familiar face over the past eight years in the classroom, at school functions, and in Seminar 33. Countless students have increased their English skills under her tutelage, and have profited from the individual guid- ance she so willingly gives. In the past, Ms. de Haan was the advisor of the Traces yearbook for six years and was responsible for pushing the year- book staff to meet deadlines. Her hard work can be seen in past issues of Traces, where her perseverance for nothing but the best is clearly visible. Ms. de Haan, this is a thank-you that is well deserved. Your hard work and dedication are appreciated. Mr. James Yankee Science Camera Shy: Mr. Joseph Dlugosz Mrs. Haney Jurkowski Mr. Robert Knight Ms. Linda Lazarus Ms. Darlene Wilson Business Heroes Having been a teacher of science at Enrico Fermi for fifteen years, Mr. Francis Rago has in- fluenced countless students. Those of us who have been for- tunate enough to have received in- struction in biology from him will testify to his skill as a teacher as well as the unlimited energy he puts into insuring we are learners. In addition to his teaching, Mr. Rago has been actively involved in C.R.O.P., a world hunger organiza- tion. This interest began ten years ago when the World Hunger Con- ference was held at Enrico Fermi. Through his participation he has made us acutely aware of the needs of others. For the past five years he also has organized and advised Peer Counselors and Peer Educators in an effort to make the process of becoming adults easier for us all. His active involvement in both of these programs has aid- ed many and earned our admiration.

This year, a vast number of stu- dent activities abound in Enrico Fermi High School. There was a club, organization, or sport to meet almost all student needs and interests. Students could elect to ski, to bowl, or become involved in politics, student government, or peer counseling. Those with in- terests in the arts could par- ticipate in band, chorus, Lamplighters, and a variety of challenging activities. These ac- tivities, advised by Enrico Fermi faculty or adult volunteers, at- tempted to make the students well-rounded. Responsibility and maturity developed as students learned to interact with one another. The activities prodded student involvement and boosted school spirit. We were proud to boast such a fine, diverse program. I I V l • I I Student Faculty Senate Award Winners Par Excellence describes the activities undertaken by the ' 85- ' 86 Student Faculty Senate. In September, the Senate received the Governor ' s Youth Action Award for its successful activities over the past two years, an im- pressive beginning for an excellent year. With two Spirit Weeks, a two-day student exchange with Rockville High School, and fine fund-raising, the year was con- stantly a busy one. Resources raised during the year include $242.43 donated to CInicef, 928 perishables and $280.17 given to the Enfield Food Shelf from the Thanksgiving food drive, and a donation of $1400 for the Toys for Tots campaign, a service which distributes a gift or two to the poorer children of the community. This contribution was the largest monetary contribution of any organization in Enfield, earning them an award from the Enfield Police Department.

Queen Pam Zeph reigned over her subjects from 7:30 until 10:30. Saturday dawned cold and rainy but the bleak weather did not dampen the spirit of the Falcon fans. The exuberant crowd lined Hazard Avenue and Morth Maple Street as saturated floats “sailed by.” The fired-up Falcons plowed the Hartford Public Owls through the mud to a glorious victory, which only demonstrates that the weather need not be a deterrent to a good time. 116 4 Page 116 1.

M. Nigro, added honor and distinction to the everyday activities of the student body and town community. To be invited to admission, pro- spective juniors must have attain- ed a minimum B+ average throughout their high school years. Accepted candidates were then inducted in a solemn ceremony where all took a pledge of service and honor to the school and to society. In addition to having devoted fifteen hours to volunteer work, members sold candy, held car washes, and paid dues to supple- ment a scholarship fund. Awards were presented in June to members with exceptional com- mitment to community service. With millions of active and former members across the coun- try, membership in the National Honor Society is a strong, mean- ingful reference to a person’s character and is a reflection of four years of successful academic achievement. 1.

Much of the season was spent preparing for Area Competition, held at Enrico Fermi in March. Winners from among three hundred students went on to compete at the state level in April. 2 Throughout the year, FBLA enlightened the lives of the residents of the Enfield Nursing Home, sharing with them celebra- tions of Halloween, Christmas, Valentine ' s Day, and Easter. The Business Student of the Month Award was also awarded throughout the year, and a $300 scholarship was awarded to one outstanding student at the annual Awards and Appreciation Banquet held in May. 124 1 S ' Model UN. Enrico Fermi is one of twenty-four Hartford-area high schools that par- ticipated in the Model (J.N., an activity that has proliferated across the country. Each school represented one or more countries in a mock United Nations forum over a weekend, debating political, economic, and humanitarian issues. In preparation for that event, students researched their countries extensively and practiced representing that country, since they argued for and or de- fend their country ' s opinions. To further help in this endeavor, the students traveled to New York to meet with the officials of their chosen countries at that country ' s mission to the United Nations. During these small meetings, factual responses were recorded second to emotional ones. In the 1985-86 school year, Enrico Fermi represented West Germany, Poland, and Morocco. 3 1.

Later, at both the Veterans Day and Homecoming day parades, members of the band precision marched and played despite the constant rain. After the Christmas holiday, the band was second runner-up in the Class “A” divi- sion at the invitational parade of Bloomfield’s 250th Anniversary. The band also lent its talents to the St. Patrick’s Day and Memorial Day parades in Holyoke and Hartford. Two members were selected for the first annual University of Massachusetts All Senior Honor Band. Senior Cathy Plourde was then invited to play in the Youth of America Band, which toured Europe during the month of July. While always performing at Fermi’s football games and pep rallies, the band continued to pro- ve itself to be a prestigious paragon of the high school con- cert marching band. 126 i W • Page 126 1.

It was the endeavor of the yearbook staff to present the memories of the year shared by students and faculty alike. Pic- tures epitomizing everyday life at Enrico Fermi were included in the hope that all would be able to recognize the action, feeling, and motivation in them. Emotion and action were also preserved in writing. New realms of remem- brance were opened as thoughts became dimensioned on the writ- ten page. Emerging was the per- sonality of a school and of a com- munity. The 1985- ' 86 Traces yearbook staff presents to you our collection of the everyday memories of the year. 3 5 136 Page 136 1 .

A fall recruitment campaign tripled membership, enabling this group to expand its services. All members volunteered and were trained after school for four months in preparation for Spring counseling with other high school students. The need for counselors for younger children led to a new focus, peer educating. Slightly dif- ferent training in this area was aimed at enabling the high school volunteer to meaningfully com- municate with fifth or sixth graders at a local elementary school. Peer Counseling and Peer Educating were conducted in coordination with the Enfield Peo- ple for Youth Organization, and were similar to other peer involve- ment programs on the East Coast. 1.

Ski Club Ski Club members improved and enjoyed their skiing the smart way — by saving money each time they went. As a group, they were offered lower lift tickets, dis- counts at local ski shops, and free films on skiing technique. Members also maintained the con- dition of their ski equipment dur- ing the maintenance workshops offered. A weekend day trip was spent at Killington as well as at Berkshire East where members skied every Friday night. Because of the fun, the excitement, and the companionship, the ski club pro- vided a friendly atmosphere to sharpen the skiing skills of even the most adamant bunny-slope skier. 3 Enzo Reale and Jen Blaser brace themselves while preparing for the trip down.

A major part of the club ' s time was devoted to the raising of money for scholarships granted to graduates in June. Fund-raisers included carna- tion sales at Thanksgiving and other special occasions, and car washes held periodically around town. In ad- dition, many members volunteered their time to help the workers and residents of the Enfield Nursing Home. On-the-job experience there Nurses provided a valuable foundation for truly understanding patients and their needs. At Enrico Fermi, knowledge and confidence were established by exploring health careers through discussion and by gain- ing information on colleges and educational programs available. A part of Enrico Fermi since the school opened, the club con- tinued to achieve success in preparing serious students for a meaningful and rewarding career in health professions. 1.

During the fall season, varsity teams in girls ' and boys’ soccer, girls’ and boys’ cross country, football, girls’ swimming, volleyball and field hockey com- peted throughout Connecticut. Junior varsity teams in football, soccer, field hockey, and volleyball also enabled younger, less experienced players to develop and sharpen their skills. Of special note this year was the Varsity Volleyball team which was the C.C.C. East Champion and placed sixth in the state of Connecticut, L-Division, and the Varsity Field Hockey team, which was the C.C.C. East Champion and ranked fifth in the state of Con- necticut, L-Division. To all our student athletes we owe a thank you for the hours of effort expended to represent Enrico Fermi High School. 146 Thursday K Friday Tuesday Wednesday 147 Varsity Football A Comeback Season The 1985 Fermi Falcon’s Foot- ball Team finished their season with a 5-6 record. At first glance one might assume that the club was just another average athletic team. However, when one con- siders that the team won as many games this past season as they have over the three previous cam- paigns combined, one can tell that Fermi Football made great strides in 1985. Also, the fact that Fermi’s new-found success was accomplished with a very young and inexperienced team makes the record that much more im- pressive. Fermi’s football team proved in 1985 that hard work, dedication, loyalty, pride, and commitment can and do result in success. 148 i 5 Page 148 1.

This philosophy benefitted team members as well as non-team members. Sportsmanship and the discipline it entailed resulted in an experience that profited all. Members of the Enrico Fermi Soccer Team continually strived against all obstacles. They offered fair and worthy competition to all opponents. Unfortunately, the team suffered from multiple player injuries during the season which further hampered many at- temps at victory. A 150 Page 150 1.

The team rank- ed fifth in the L Division of schools, and, for the fifth con- secutive year, qualified for the state tournament. Sue Mercik was named to second team All-State. Congratulations to an extraor- dinary team on their superior talents. 157 H| Girls ' Cross Country Revival of Interest The 1985-1986 Girls’ Cross Country team attracted a larger number of runners than in previous years. The girls worked hard and pushed themselves at each meet. The biggest downfall was the low number of girls runn- ing due to injuries. The team was able to keep its spirits in spite of only one win, and 1985-86 was an exciting season. The only senior, Paige Roberts, was captain, and freshman Allison Johnson was elected Most Valuable Player. 158 Page 158 1. Kristin Kraiza helps Coach Cardell record times and places. 2.

Winter Sports When the raw New England weather drives participants and spectators alike from the exposed playing fields, Enrico Fermi offers to both an assortment of winter in- terscholastic sports. Athletes are now found active on the court, the mat, the ice or in the pool, while the student body, their parents, and their friends are provided numerous options for afternoon and evening enjoyment. In the winter of 1985-1986, varsi- ty teams in boys ' and girls’ basket- ball, wrestling, ice hockey and boys’ swimming offered to many an alter- native to more sedate activities. The exuberant Fermi cheerleaders moved from the football fields to the basketball court where they continued to enliven and encourage players and fans. Junior varsity teams in girls’ and boys ' basketball served as training ground for future varsity players. They in turn were encouraged by an accomplished and spirited junior varsity cheerleading squad. For the hours of practice and the cooperative effort of our winter sports athletes, we are grateful. They have contributed to our every- day memories at Enrico Fermi High School. 166 Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday 167 Cheerleading Champs Again The 1985-’86 school year was a successful one for the Enrico Fer- mi Cheerleading Squad. During the summer break, the cheerleaders attended camp and returned to Enrico Fermi with a Grand Champion trophy. In addi- tion, they were named the Most Spirited Squad. A new dimension to the squad — the addition of male cheerleaders — highlighted the year. Now, talented males and females cheer Fermi ' s teams to victory throughout the year. We’d like to congratulate the cheerleaders for a job well done. lit Junior Varsity Cheerleading: First row: Sue Giaccone, Michelle Bruno. Second row: Denise Redin, Becky Houde, Jill Mayto.

One highlight was their second match against the Enfield Raiders. After losing their first game against the Raiders, the Falcons came from behind, won the game, and knocked Enfield out of tournament com- petition. Southington was also deprived of a spot in the state tournament after its defeat by the Falcons. The most rewarding game of the season was against number one-ranked Hartford Public. Although it was not a win for Enrico Fermi, Hartford had to play hard to keep ahead. Todd Tweeddale was high scorer of the season with an 8.9 game point average. Teamwork figured prominently in this season. Page 170 1. Bob Spanswick uses all of his leg muscles to jump for the rebound. 2. Captain Bruce Beckford utilizes height in the tip-off. Page 171 1.

Girls’ Basketball Team Perserves Despite Frustrating Season Senior co-captains Lisa Borkoski and Debbie Kearney led the girls’ basketball team through a particularly trying season. Though frustrated by many losses, the team always played their best to the final buzzer. The large number of one-point losses cer- tainly proved that the players per- formed well in each of the games. The players’ desire and deter- minedness to do their best carried the young team through the season, and provided each member with the pride of having contributed to a unified effort to succeed. 172 Page 172 1.

Boys’ Swimming Swimmers To States Beset by illness during the flu season, the boys’ swimming team competed at a disadvantage dur- ing the 1985-1986 season. Led by senior co-captains Rick Mormino and Mike Okon, it was still able to win four of its scheduled meets. Although the season saw no school records broken, many swimmers did qualify for the state Class “L” championships. Mike Okon qualified for the 200 yard in- dividual medley and 100 yard breaststroke, while Pete Miko qualified for the fifty yard backstroke. Swimmers Rick Mor- mino, Pete Miko, Mike Okon, and Alan Rubacha competed in the 400 yard freestyle relay, while the 200 yard medley team was com- posed of Rick Mormino, Pete Miko, Mike Okon, and Joe Amster.
