That symbol of love, spirit, and dedication consistently points to Joan MacEwan. She is always with a smile, touching the lives of those she comes in contact with. Many times Joan goes unnoticed, but never unloved. We, the students, faculty, and staff of Fillmore will always remember you, Joan, as we look back at our years with you here. Thank you, Mrs. MacEwan — we salute you. -seniors 6 Seniors seniors - Seniors 7 Dawn Rafalski Joel Cockle Richard McNiel Kerry Prentice Maureen Brunke Brent Speicher 8 Seniors Nancy Mason Melvin Potter Andrew Peet Lona Taylor Diana Stanton Husted Bentley Piersma Wendy Mauerman Paul Krause 10 Seniors Beth Williams Ronald Marriott William Kennedy Diane Alderman Donna Walt Shane Vasile Seniors 11 Cynthia Appleton Scott Stone David Rhoades Courtney Roberts Lisa Popp Mark Baginski Seniors 13 14 Seniors Lori Rich Daryl Vedder David Jensen Gail Babbitt Cynthia Carmer Gerald Clark Ronda Stanton James Nusbickel Senior Favorites Class Officers: Kelly Fuller President p. 12 Paul Krause Vice-President p. 10 Gail Babbitt Secretary p. 14 Ginger Williams Treasurer p. 9 Advisors: Mrs. Willa Talbott p. 68 Mr. William Nolan p. 67 Flower: Red rose Colors: Blue and silver Song: “Heaven” by Bryan Adams Motto: If the hands of time were Hands that we could hold, We’d keep them warm And in our hands They’d not grow old.

If you've never had the experience of participating in a Regents examination, but you plan to, it goes somewhat like this. After warnings from teachers to be sure and get lots of sleep and to be in the gym, prepared, fifteen minutes early, the day is there. Imagining this same, solemn scene taking place all over New York State at the same time, you arrive with three extra pencils, five pens, and a second ruler in case your first one should disintegrate or something like that. Although you hold serious doubts that anyone has ever had the experience of having three pencils break, four pens run dry, and one ruler disintegrate under normal conditions — well this is a Regents exam, and if that ever happened, today would be the day. “Better safe than sorry is the generally accepted rule. You will find your seat, whisper nervously to your neighbor, and recount your pens. Teachers will sit at a table in front of the gym and for three hours after the exam starts, � you will imagine that you feel their eyes staring at only you while your keep your own eyes aimed straight at your test answer sheet so they won't suspect that they see you peeking from side to side. Someone will have a cold. That person will sit either in front of you, behind you, or most likely on one side of you. You will endure his sniffs and coughs for a full three hours until you would like to remove his nose from his face. I 4 Regent Exams and Ans For anyone intending to earn a Regents diploma, this whole business starts in ninth grade with that first Regents exam in algebra or earth science. The excitement and awe of the moment you first clutch the then unfamiliar flashy red paperback usually fades after a week or so. At that time, you either realize with relief that you actually do know the stuff, or else you uneasily consider the odds of learning it all in one month. After ninth grade, the years following are less overwhelming because you're naturally more sophisticated. You use your full three hours to pass or fail” in geometry and trig exams; finish up two pens in English and history; and fear finding out what you got in chemistry. Your head swims with numbers and figures after business math and you try to remember to speak in English after finishing the French or Spanish exam. After the test, your eyes will take approximately thirty minutes to refocus from nine inches back to normal. But it's over. The closed window of the bookstore, where most final grades are posted, has been to some a source of joy; to others, anguish and misery. But after all the trauma or ease; after nights of studying and memorizing; after the disappointment of failure or the satisfaction of a 100; after tak- ing the same exam over the next year or two to improve the grade; eventually you meet all the requirements and end up with at least eighteen credits toward a Regents diploma. Think of, and be proud of, all that work while you read: “Be it known that (insert your name here) having satisfactorily passed examinations in the subjects prescribed for the completion of an approved four year course in the Fillmore Central School is thereby entitled to this High School Diploma. In witness thereof the Regents issue this diploma under seal of the University at Albany in the month of June 19 (your year).” Signed: Principal and the Commissioner of Education. I wonder if the Commissioner of Education ever clutched that familiar red book as a freshman. Underclassmen 41 - elementary---------- 42 Elementary elementary- Elemer.tjry 43 Sixth Grade Row one: L.

And you were never late to a class Think of all they do for us. After a really because of a messy locker. On the other rotten day, there’s nothing quite so satisfying as the crash of metal on metal that occurs when you kick the door shut: slam. And how would you like dragging every textbook around with you all day? (You may have to when you are a senior and your locker is too far from every class to make it there and back on time ...) Yes, that one by six foot cold, gray hole-in-the wall really is one of your best allies in public education. Especially convenient, if you stand taller than 5'5 , is the little shelf on top. During the sophomore and junior years it is often known to be reserved by some for geometry or trig paraphernalia, and no other notebook or dried-up pen is then allowed to share the space. Not even your parents can tell you to “clean up that locker.” It is the first place that indicates the lifestyle you are comfortable with. Inside a locker there is no middle ground — it’s either messy, or it’s neat. If you’re a truly neat person, you hand, as a student who inhabits a messy locker, you spend your days rummaging frantically through discarded passes, leaky pens, and piles of crumpled paper searching blindly for that English assignment or history review sheet. Some lockers have true personality. Their owners have plastered the inside with pictures of their friends and favorite rock groups, comics, and a mirror. These people know how to live out of a locker and how to make it their second home for nine months. There are always a few lockers that blantantly announce who they belong to; their owners’ names, along with various messages and greetings, are scrawled over the door in purple ink. That adds character, too. In this large, public world, it’s comforting to know, whether you care a whole lot or not, that at least you have a little place to call your own.

And We Say Goodbye... It was the summer of 1980 when Pete and Karen Backus settled in the Fillmore area. Mr. Backus began his duties as principal for grades 7-12, and for the first two years Mrs. Backus taught elementary art at Cuba Central School. In 1982 the Backuses added one to their number with the birth of their son David, and in March of 1985, their son Scott was born. Mr. Backus, originally from Mexico, New York, taught math at Altmar Parish Williamsville prior to his years at Fillmore. He has many varied interests; among them reading, furniture refinishing, water sports, cross-country skiing, and racquetball. In July, 1985, Mr. Backus finished his nearly six years of service at Fillmore to take the position of principal for grades 9-12 at Skaneateles High School. We thank him for the work he's done here at Fillmore; for remaining a friend even in his position of authority; and for his support and encouragement of school activities, sports, and organizations. We will miss the Backus family, and hope that they enjoy their new life in Skaneateles. Faculty — Staff 75 siiods 9L s jods sports Sports 77 J.V.

The team went into post-season sectional play ranked as the top-seeded Allegany County team. After obtaining a bye in the first round, they fell to Mt. Morris in the quarter-finals by a score of 2 to 1, although they outshot the team 21 to 10. The highlight of this year was breaking a four-year stalemate with Andover by defeating them in overtime 5 to 2. Previously, every meeting of the two teams had resulted in a tie. The winning goal was scored by junior Kris Stekl in an unassisted 17-yard blast. Fillmore placed four athletes on this year’s Allegany County All-Star teams: fullback Jerry Clark, striker Jason Ricketts, goalkeeper Brian Doyle, and striker Matt Adamowicz were selected to the first team, while halfback Wade Fiegl and wing Paul Krause were chosen to the second team.

A Tremendous Will to Win” Girls Kick Their Way to Finals In what 11-year veteran coach Karl Krause termed “its most successful season in the school history,” the girls' varsity soccer team finished with a 15-5 record this year. After capturing the section V, Class C championship and Regional D and C championship, the team lost to Cherry Valley, the eventual state champs, C Division. Seniors Lona Taylor and Beth Williams were selected for the All- Star team, and sophomore Linda Krause, the second All-Star team. What made this team so special was, accord- ing to Coach Krause, “their winning spirit — to try hard even though their opponents were favored to win.” Mr. Krause thanks all the girls for making this season one of the best in his coaching career. 80 Sports In front: M Brunke.

Sports 87 A Season of Comebacks According to coach Jerry Brooks, the team had a “great season” with a final record of 10-5. Three of the games found the Eagles behind by six or more runs, only to make a comeback to win the game. The last two games of the season both presented challenges: because of solid defense and excellent hunting and baserunning, Fillmore overcame a tough Portville, 6-4; and in the highlight of the season, the final game against Franklinville went into extra innings. The game had the teams tied at the bottom of the seventh, with Fillmore taking the lead by the bottom of the eighth. The season also saw “tremendous improvement in four players: catcher Matt Hopkins, outfielder Kirk Hallock, and pitchers Al Carmer and Steve Baginski. Coach Brooks feels that if the group stays together and continues to improve, they may find themselves the sectional champs as a varsity team. 88 Front: L. Burger, S. Smith. Row one: C. Sardina, K.

Team Shows Progress, Determination The varsity girls’ tennis team, coached by Nancy Tucker, finished the season with a 5-4 record, placing second in county competi- tion. Each of their four losses was “a very narrow defeat,” according to Coach Tucker. ‘‘Through the season we showed great progress in game strategy and determina- tion,” she said. That deter- mination edged the players over the county champs, Scio (4-1), on their own courts in the last regular season competition. Senior Gail Babbitt tallied the highest win record this year of any girl in the coun- ty: 8-1. Babbitt represented Fillmore at Sectionals in second singles, behind Laura Kint- ner of Scio. Senior Diane Alderman and junior Tam- my Miller also won in their first round of county doubles.

Organizations 103 The Council: A 9-Month Activity Under the guidance of its adviser, Mrs. June Weller, the Student Council was led by Diane Alderman (President), Lona Taylor (Vice President), Karen Fuller (Secretary), and Maria Beardsley (Treasurer). In December, the group was responsible for Spirit Week, selecting the Christmas movie, and for the Christmas tree in the foyer. In March the Council took orders for daffodils for the American Cancer Society. Also in March was Open House, at which members served refreshments and acted as guides. In addition, the Talent Show, which featured an Air Band contest, was organized by the Student Council. Field Day, held on May 23rd, also was the result of the Council’s planning. Finally, recipients of the Babe Ruth Award and the school King and Queen were nominated by the Student Council. ! I Row one: Row two: J. Miller, H. Schroeder, B. Doyle, D. Polaski, D. Crowe, L.

Last year (1983-84), the team's advisor Mrs. Eltscher promised that the team would win first place the next year, and indeed they did! On March 11 they defeated their two opponents Ellicotville and LaFayette easily. Taking the lead in the first round, they easily held it through an exciting game. The team hopes to make the finals next year — but, unfortunately, they will have to do that without the help of their advisor for the past two years, Mrs. Carolyn Eltscher. She will be sorely missed.

Organizations 107 Under the guidance of Taylor Publishing Company representative Steve Conner, first-time advisor Bob LaRuche, and editor Mary Anne Parker, The Crest 1985 staff worked at a steady pace throughout the year to produce a new sort of yearbook. Because of a switch to a larger publishing company, more design options are available, and at a lower cost. This year's final production cost is estimated at close to $6,000. Thanks to business manager Heddy Sumski’s sales organizations, the budget was able to handle very close to that amount. The Crest 1985 The Fill-more Space The Space staff consisted of: Melissa Leax, editor; Kwame Morris, reporter; Jerry Clark, Art editor; Brian Doyle, sports; Janet Cockle, reporter; Kathy Shanks, music editor; Julie Burrows and Marian McNiel, typists and fund raisers; and Renee Cox, layout. The advisors were Mrs. Frasier, Mrs. Taylor, and Mr. Burt. Mrs. Rakoska was the paper’s publisher. 108 Organizations Mrs. Frasier, J. Ballard, M. Leax, K. Shanks, K. Morris, J. Burrows, J. Cockle, B.

The Spanish Club, under the direction of Mrs. Patricia Taylor, was started for dedicated Spanish students who wished to learn more about Spanish culture. They celebrated Christmas with Spanish food and fun, and sang Christmas songs in Spanish for the Houghton Nursing Home residents. The highlight of the year was a trip to Rochester to see a Spanish dance group. We at Fillmore hope the Spanish Club will have a long and worthwhile existence. Spanish Club Front row: K. McKerrow, T.

Movies, Mags, and More Everyone, whether staff or student, elementary or high school makes use of the Media Center at some time during program run by junior high English the school year. It is staffed by Mrs. Wing teacher Mr. Campana. “I’ve never had seventh graders have been reading vast amounts, she noted, for a reading and Mrs.' Sumski, who were assi ed by two students this year. Whether it’s a book about Superman or a videotape on cell division that you need, chances are good that you’ll find it here. The Center holds 10,000 books, 80 free or subscription magazines, five years of back magazines, five computers, and many other media such as films, videotapes, indexes, kits, videotape machines, filmstrip projectors, record and tape players, and microphones. In 1980, the Media Center was moved from its upstairs location (now the resource room) to its present central location downstairs. Mrs. Sumski knows that the change in location has benefitted both her and the school's media system. “I see more kids and teachers,’’ she says, adding that this more central location makes it easier for both to stop by on their way to other places. “Sometimes teachers will just drop in on their way to the teachers’ rooms for lunch, pick up a magazine to read up there, and bring it back after lunch.’’ The available magazines and books are all well-used. Records are kept of each magazine borrowed, and at the end of the school year, numbers borrowed are counted in order to see if the magazines on hand are being read or used for research. When asked if she thought the number and selection of books on hand are adequate, Mrs. Sumski said she believes that there are enough of certain books and not enough of other kinds, simply because “it’s hard to guess what the kids want.’’ Speaking about the number of books that are actually checked out, she said she wishes the students would read more. This year’s so many overdues in my life!’’ she exclaims, pointing to a paper with a long list of names on the wall. “But, you know r . i . I’m not going to complain.” Because it is so near the end of the school year. .. and inventory must be started, it will begin in a section other than fiction to compensate for the overdues. Five computers are located here, as well. Mrs. Sumski says that before any were housed in the Media Center, kids had to be in either the remedial or gifted and talented programs to use a computer. With this location, the average student can work on a computer at almost any time. Staff and students have many services available to them through the Media Center. Teachers can order videotapes, films, filmstrips, and various kits from BOCES, and Mrs. Wing schedules and starts the videotapes each day, as well as making fix-it visits to rooms with faulty equipment. Students can do research using the card catalog, vertical files, and indexes. The back room houses old magazines, The Crest since 1948, and 200 records. Students and staff have an IBM typewriter and the five computers at their disposal. For the future, Mrs. Sumski would like to see the audio-visual card catalog built into the regular card catalog; this would make the audio-visual materials more accessible and familiar to users. Even with the many resources and services available in the Media Center. Mrs. Sumski stresses one basic rule of Library Life, as explained in her motto: “Money grows on trees, credit on bushes, and the best things in life are available on time.” In a word: borrow!
