1987 Tan tara Procession Moves On twelve steps mounted and twelve steps high the staircase is our past and it is so far behind retrospective vision glancing down below the struggles that we've passed, the people who we know recalling our ascension, the journey to the top the wisdom we have gained, the games we have forgot our intellects they are wrought, our minds are now prepared we're ready to open the door, our childhood now is sheared the door to freedom stands locked up at the top our key lies in our hands, with maturity it was bought as the door smoothly turns, and we step reluctantly through our concerns quickly pacified, our future now in view another stairway awaits our path, it rises on and on we want to climb and join the stairs, our fears of it are gone the ecstasy of dreams which melt into our heart knock away the obstacles, break them all apart our lives are now changed, our hopes can now ascend innocence is lost, and we now defend that once we are freed and allowed to progress nothing can halt our dreams and our quest.

The senior year passes so quickly, and it hardly seems possible that it is time to say good-bye. I wish everyone of you happiness and success in the coming years. You are fine people who have graduated from a fine school and will do well in the future. John R Murphy Principal I want to take this opportunity to congratulate all of you on your graduation from Fitch Senior High School. You have completed a major chap- ter in your life and are now ready to start, hope- fully, a successful new one. I have conflicting emotions about all of you leaving Fitch Senior High School. First, I have some sadness over seeing many fine students and good people leave our area for other pursuits and interests. Second- ly, I share a lot of happiness and pride with my colleagues for you because of your intellectual and social development while at Fitch. Life is too short to waste time; cherish every moment and use it wisely. Robert J. Brown Vice-Principal hope that Fitch has contributed something valuable and significant to your development as a person. It is my wish that the years ahead be exciting and rewarding to each of you. As you continue your journey through life bear in mind a quotation from Hugh Prather . . . The rainbow is more beautiful than the pot at the end of it, because the rainbow is now. And the pot never turns out to be quite what I expected. A. Piela, Jr. Vice-Principal 18 Joan D. Stipetic, PhD Superintendant of Schools James Maxon Chairman, Board of Education Today is an exciting time to be taking a step in a new direction; a challenging time to plot your life's career. Technology has opened up a whole realm of opportunity unburdened by the barnacles of the past and paying equally for the talents of men and women. Set your goals for the year 2000; establish your objectives now to reach those goals; use your imagination; be positive; think creatively about your purpose; and plan for a way to provide some measure of service to our democratic way of life â commitment to the individual, the community, the state, and the nation. We urge you to strive constantly toward betterment of self in all that you do in the years ahead. This small world of ours needs you, our promising youth. Congratulations and Best Wishes for a productive and personally satisfying future. Joan D.

Burtchul J. Kittleman, Dept. Head Pedagogue Rivisited He enters room 29 with a firm step. Outfitted in his familiar navy-blue suit coat, Oxford shirt, grey slacks, and loafers, he carries a folder of corrected assignments and mimeographed essay tests on The Crucible. Good morning, Mr. Pearson. How long is the essay supposed to be? a concerned student asks. âAs long as it takes, comes the reply with a gently curved smile from Fitch English Department Head Arthur Pearson, known as the man responsi- ble for introducing symbolism, Captain Ahab, and the Scarlet âA to the developing minds in English 11 classes. While the student's perspective of his instructor is confined to the classroom, Mr. Pear- son's venerable career transcends the stereotyped title of teacher . Raised in neighboring Rhode Island, Pearson at- tended the University of Rhode Island where he earned a B.A. and an M.A. in English. Though he originally chose Business Administration as his major, he dropped it after one semester of frustration. Staying up late trying to get everything to add up was just not my thing, so I finally quit, he comments. In his junior year in college, 1957, Pearson joined the Air Force and was stationed in the Eifel Mountain Range in Germany for three years, then transferred to England for one year. Upon returning to URI, he completed his English studies, as well as participated in some unusual college chicanery. To any student, school is more than books and study. One cannot believe that the present resolute Arthur Pearson, in his teen years, broke rules and challenged authority all in the name of fun while at prep school. He recalls one of the younger teachers he had who owned a brilliant yellow Ford sports car. Whenever some of his students were detained on weekends, the liberal professor would drive to the hole in the campus's fence, pick up students who slipped past the guards and take them illegally for rides through town. (Young Arthur, too, eluded the guards and escaped in the yellow sports car.) During his twenty-five year career at Fitch, Pearson has involved himself in various curricular activities such as assistant football coach, track coach, assistant director of night school, and since 1970 department head of English. However, perhaps the most well-known duty he has undertaken was the advisor to the nationally competent school newspaper The Scarlet Tanager which has been in continuous publication since 1924. Although many reporters and editors have since graduated, from 1962 to 1970, and 1973 to 1985, Pearson remained the steady force behind the print. After his notes on Emerson and Miller are completed and he closes his final discussion on the White Whale, Arthur sees no immediate, momentous changes in life-style. He does hint with a cool smile at the pos- sibility of Vermont as a new location for a nature loving man, but he will not retreat to the forest to live the simplified life of Thoreau. Instead his career overflowing with sweet memories of freedom, fulfillment, and dedication will continue to flow smoothly, silently along life's river with Pearson navigating its course. Michael Du fault IN MEMORIAM - LOUIS CAOUETTE It is most likely that all of us can call to mind someone who has had a significant influence on our lives. In some in- stances, our contact with that person has been on a routine daily basis so that we may have taken him or her pretty much for granted. In other cases, our relationship may have been almost distant or at most, a fleeting moment so that ive had little knowledge of what that person had actually done for us. So it was with Mr. Louis Caouette, Fitch's Vice Principal for more than twenty years. He preferred to work behind the scenes rather than to stand in the limelight; yet, it was he who saw to it that the routine nitty-gritty functions of the school continued to run. He could be intimidating to the timid until they found that under the gruff voice and seemingly stern de- meanor there was a warm, sympathetic, sincere person with a capacious heart. He was never too busy to take the time out to help a student with a problem or answer a faculty member's question. In short, he cared â He cared about his colleagues on the faculty. He cared about us kids. And most of all, he cared about Fitch. Too bad that you in the Class of 1987 never got a chance to know him, for I know you would have liked him. To me he was the greatest!

A perky, dark-eyed Spanish girl, Maria certainly stands out in this year's senior class. She arrived in August from Malaga, a beach-resort type province which remains sunny and warm year round. Adjusting well to the frosty New England climate, Maria also finds herself having to get used to many other contrasts to her home. In my town, I walk everywhere, she claims, marvelling at the wide use of cars in the United States. Ma- ria was also surprised to find that far fewer young people smoke here than in Spain. Since she first arrived, her lifestyle steadily has become more enjoyable. She has made many new friends and experienced both suburban and urban culture. Recently, she traveled to New York City with a Spanish-speaking friend from Peru and had a wonderful time sightseeing. School has also improved for her, especially since her English gets better everyday. After only fours years of English in Spain, communication was rather difficult at first. Maria now likes school in general, but English and U.S. History remain unloved subjects. After all, essays and vocabulary become doubly challenging when one is not totally fluent, and for Maria, the past of our country is a whole new realm. So- ciology ranks as Maria's favorite class. Hosting this exchange student is the Robe family of Croton. Gwen Robe, an only child, is a sophomore at Fitch who enjoys the Spanish dishes her visiting amiga prepares. This trip is not Maria's first to America, though the last was shorter and under different circumstances. She spent the summer of '85 in Wisconsin where she stayed with a large family. Her passion for traveling will benefit Maria's career later in life since she plans to become an interpreter. She hopes to stay in France next year as an exchange student, to learn the language and to absorb the culture. Although Maria misses her family and friends, she loves the freedom here. In Spain, parents are much stricter with their children. Maria enjoys the less formal lifestyle in the States, and she has found a good friend and companion in Cabriella Flenser, a Swedish exchange student and junior at Fitch. Maria Castellano is a well-liked student whose different culture only serves to enrich and complement the class of '87.

The Class of 1988 has always been particularly close. This year as presiden t of the Class of 88,1 had the opportunity to see why. In the beginning of the school year our class was much like it had been when we were sophomores. It was divided by many small, tight groups. But as the year went by, I saw the cliques loosen and new friendships emerge. Our class has worked together in making our chocolate sale profit, our powder puff team win, and our prom spectacular! A strong bond unites our class enabling us to work together and to achieve our goals. I hope that next year we will continue to pull together to make our senior year the best.

Its history dates back thousands of years to its first know settlers in 6000 B.C. Rich with this beauty and history is the capital of this northern European nation, Stockholm. Living just ten minutes from this city is Cabriella Flenser. Hungarian born, Cabriella moved to Sweden when she was six years old. She found this move difficult simply because it was a change of countries, a new setting, and a new language, but she admits that the effect was not as great because of her youth. I don't think, though, I would be able to handle a move of that type again because at my age it is too difficult to just start from scratch. Yet, this is not to say that Gabriella does not want to experience other cultures of the world besides her own. In fact, she has traveled throughout much of Europe including Austria, England, France, Italy, Lithuania, and Spain. Presently, she is living here in America with an area family and attending Fitch Senior High School as a junior. She feels fortunate to be a part of the family chosen to host her for her year abroad as they truly make her feel at home . Still, she explains, This is far from easy for me to do; it takes a lot of preparation to pull yourself out of one culture and to enter another. Leaving your friends, family, and school behind, almost abandoning them for an entire year and embracing a whole new life is dif- ficult and takes a lot of strength. Gabriella's interest in the United States had been growing since she was at least ten years old. I have wanted to attend an American school for some time to see the difference. The difference appears to be that the American schooling is more hec- tic. In Sweden, we have ten minutes between classes, here only five. I'Ve have fifty minutes for lunch compared to twenty- five here. Also, there is not the school spirit back in Sweden that there is here at Fitch. Most sports are played through the Community and any school teams usually just get an oh, that's nice when they play. ,Student enthusiasm for athletics at Fitch impresses her. I also travelled here to see how Americas are, and please, don't ask meâ w. you do not want to know, she added. With a little coaxing, Gabriella admitted, people here, they change their moods so quickly. One day a person is happy and excitied to see you and the next she walks right by you. Gabriella admits, though, that she has grown used to the moody Americans. As for entertainment, Americans seem to have an edge on Sweden. We have only two television channels and they are boring, boring, blah. What does she like most about American television ? Our stations are run by government and we have no commercials, I love them here, I know them all, she answers and demonstrates, Kentucky Fried Chicken, we do chicken right! Gabriella has answered the oh-so-blah Swedish TV problem by studying jazz dance for the past two years. Besides dance, Gabriella is not certain how she passes time at home but offers, studying, I suppose. Study she must as she is fluent in four languages: French, English, Hungarian, and of course Swedish. Gabriella' course of study at this time is preparing her for a career as an economist. She explains, I am very interested in working with the economy of Sweden in relation with other countries. In fact, she adds, Sweden is much like the U.S. in many ways, it is primarily a capitalistic country. She plans to complete her higher education in her homeland. Fitch has been most fortunate to have Gabriella as an exchange student this year.

For the Class of 89 We, Sophomores, as new high school students are at the age of looking ahead and finding a future. As the last class of the eighties we must strive to know ourselves and to value a love for life. The future depends on us. Whitney Houston s The Greatest Love of All clearly expresses the ideas of belief in one's self and personal dignity. I believe the children are our future. Teach them well and let them lead the way. Show them all the beauty they possess inside. Give them a sense of pride to make it easier; Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be. I decided long ago never to walk in anyone's shadow. If I fail, if I succeed, at least 1 live as I believe. No matter what they take from me, they can't take away my dignity. Because the greatest love of all is happening to me. I've found the greatest love of all inside of me.

Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors each have a team consisting of tough, athletic females. The games are played by the rules designed for flag football. Each girl enters the field with spirit and enthusiasm knowing the competition is great. This year the junior class claimed the victory over the sophomores with a final score of 6-0, which allowed them to go on to challenge the seniors. The juniors and seniors battled it out, but the juniors proved to be tougher and came up with a win of 6-0 again. Armed with advice from coaches, Jay Joudain and Joel Halliwell, the junior girls were able to play a strong game both offensively and defensively. Advi- sor Glen Graham took pride in the ac- complishment of the juniors. Belinda 100 101 Hall Decorating Hall Decorating The seniors won the hall decorating contest this year with their heaven and hell scene. They followed the slogan We're Hell, [Ye're Heaven, We're the class of '87. The juniors created a marine life theme by covering the lights with blue cellophane and hanging fishnets on the walls. The sophomore class did their rendition of Babes in Toyland , complete with trains and giant legos. The night was a success. The participants worked hard to show their spirit for Fitch and their respective classes. 102 Bonfire Night Bonfire This year's bonfire burned brightly in spite of heavy rains. Many adventur- ous students celebrated the traditional Pep-Rally ritual for the Fitch-New London Homecoming game. The flames could be seen and the cheers could be heard at the bottom of Fort Hill. The rain didn 't dampen anyone's enthusiasm as seen on Thanksgiving morning when the Falcons conquered its longstand- ing rival, the Whalers. Always And Forever The 1986 Homecoming Dance, Always and Forever , was different from other past affairs. Instead of having a band, the senior class opted for a disc jockey. The music was provided by D.J., Chuck Davis, from local radio station Q-105. Surrounded by black, silver, and white decorations, 1986 Homecoming Queen Laura Ledwidge, escorted by Glen Roark, was crowned as court mem- bers Maria Gemma, Dana Smyle, Lisa Winkler, Marie Zeppieri, Beth Duffy, Miranda Krause, Nancy Menhart, Angie Lewis, and Diana Timpano looked on. The event was an evening filled with dancing and laughter - - - an enjoyable ending to the 1986 Spirit Week festivities.

Editors: Michelle Calver Jim Kelley When the Tantara staff met for the first time in June of 1986, the ominous task of putting together the annual publication both intimidated and overwhelmed us. That summer staff members spent many hours pounding the pavement selling advertisements and patron positions. By August we achieved our goal of $4000.00, and September found us in room 29 organizing our sections and selling yearbooks. Everyone shared the responsibil- ity of organizing the individual sections; Elaine Suplicki, Robyn Elmer, Sarah Tarbox, Beth Buczkowski, Heather Hewitt, Ronell Hargraves, Kelli Sullivan, Greg Hildebrand, and Carl Jarvis all deserve recognition for the many hours of designing, planning, and revising their individual sections. As Editors, we would like to thank all staff members for their hard work and dedication and a special thanks to Mrs. Frink our advisor. We are indebted to Michael Dufault who served as sports editor â thanks. To all contributing writers to the 1987 edition, we say thank you. H2 Michelle Calver James J.

Lystig This year brought the SCARLET TANAGER a new advisor, Mr. Douglas Henderson, in his first year at Fitch Senior. He found a staff made up of lively, interesting and easy to work with juniors and seniors. This was an unusually large staff of about fifteen. The staff was di- vided into individual sections for news, sports, editorials, and photography. Most of the entire staff worked together. In all of the seven editions each staff member is responsible for at least one article. Before the edition can be printed it must be proof-read, edited and laid out. To complete the lay-out many sessions at the printer are necessary to make each edition a suc- cess. All the challenge and work that goes into the newspaper makes the product more pleasing and rewarding. We wish next year's staff even more luck and success! J 113 Amphora Amphora P. Webster, A. Hollister, C. Simmons, L. Overton, T. Zezulka,J. Collins, T. Mitchell, Miss Turgeon (Advisor), L. Brietenbach, M. Baldoz Since 1966, Amphora has been striving for excellence in literary-art publications. This year is no exception. Headed by a seasoned seventh period editorial staff, with Miss Cail Turgeon as advisor, Amphora collected student poems, short stories, essays, paintings, sketches, as well as photography of jewelry and pottery. Each piece was rated on a scale from one to four and only a rating of three or above qualifies a work for consideration by the magazine. After acceptance, the piece is handed to an illustrator from the art department, and the student designs an illustration to fit the theme and make-up requirements. The editorial staff then pastes down a dummy, or magazine plan, and gives it to the printer in April, usually just at deadline. The printer transfers the magazine to negatives and prints it. Each year in late May, Amphora staff sells the newest edition, in school and out. For the sixth consecutive year, Amphora has captured an award. The Columbia Scholastic Press Association awarded the 1986 publication with the Medalist Award for excellence in design and concept. This year the staff hopes to capture another award in the Columbia Scholastic Press contest for outstanding literary achievement. Chris Potter, Editor Student Council Row 1- M. McLaughlin, M.

Though the group took a while to gel, by mid-year a new, full sound began to emerge. A particular favorite, Three Songs of Parting, took on added meaning with the passing of Louis Cauette and Arthur Booth, and was dedicated to their memory at the Fall Showcase. The Winter Concert featured some Bohemian carols. In January, seven singers sang under the direction of Dr. Peter Bagley in the 225 member Eastern Region Chorus. They were Teresa Pratt, Heather Hewitt, Nick Thompson, Laura Turner, Anthony Baldwin, J.P. Shiver, and Charles Getty. Twelve students achieved Division 1 ratings at preliminary All State Chorus Audi- tions, and four were selected for All-State. They were Senior, Graham Thompson, (for the second time), and Juniors, Charlie Eastman, Nick Thompson and Taresa Zeppieri. Late winter found the Chamber Choir planning for competitions and the Spring Concert. 119 Concert Choir Concert Choir Row 1- A. Green, K. Teague, A. Schuster, T. Morales, S. Freehan, D. Timpano, S.

South Pacific, Directors Alida Barbieri and James Dehls began the search for another show that would challenge the skilled stagehands and talented actors and actresses of the Drama Club. After some deliberation, Sheldon Harnick and Jerry Block's musical, Fiddler on the Roof was chosen for the spring production. Miss Barbieri states, This show is a healthy challenge after the impressive but simple chorus numbers of South Pacific. Mr. Dehls agrees that the show is much more difficult than last year's, but he is confident that we have the talent and numbers to make Tradition really shine! The confidence level among the cast and crew is high. Most of the crew that worked with '86 graduate Alex Pellish building last year's award winning set are still with us this year, and as senior stage manager Peter Webster puts it, Hey we re great . . . Rich, have you seen the nails? In addition to the veteran core of juniors and seniors, many new sophomores have been added to the club, and this year as always have much to offer. Three sophomores have principal roles this year, and many others are in the chorus. The veterans and rookies have quickly warmed to each other, pro- ducing a closely-knit community working well together toward a common goal - - - a successful and fulfilling production. A very important yet often overlooked factor in any production is the pit orchestra. This year Mr. Dehls brings to our stage a very talented group of musicians. Senior Karen Fogg, a flutist, admits to being slightly miffed because we never get as much recognition as the actors do, but she knows that we appreciate her and the rest of her comrades. No show would be possible without a pit-band. Stepping outside the hustle and bustle of preparing a production for the stage, one must always keep in mind the pur- pose of this Club. Miss Barbieri feels that when you give the students the reins and say This is your show! Now make it what you want it to be, you instill in these people a great pride in their work. These kids will come away from the stage with spirit and dedication toward whatever goals they set for themselves. Adding to that theme, senior and club president, Graham Thompson observes, One way to look at it is that we all put on a really great show and get recognition. On a broader scale, we are setting the stage for the rest of our lives. We have learned how to interact with others, to accomplish goals, to accept reponsibility and to carry through with it. The Drama Club wishes the Class of 1987 the best of luck and invites all future classes to partake in the Drama experience!

At Norwalk, the band broke the 80 barrier, achieving an all-time high of 83.65. One week later at Eastern Marching Band finals in Little Rock, NJ, the band once again scored in the 80's and took home the tro- phy for Connecticut State Champions, Division Three. Especially pleased with the color quard line, band director Mr. Michael Parkinson said, Our line has improved remarkably over the last three years . . . their scores have really come up. Mary Land was captain of the tall flags and Kathy Land was captain of the swing flags. The drum line also had a strong season, highlighted by capturing the percussion trophy at the Coast Guard Windjammer Invitational for silver division. Co-captains were Rich Freitas and Julia Greene. Band members were headed by drum major Taresa Zeppieri and assistant drum majors Toni Mitchell and J.P. Shiver. The musical selections included English Folk Suite , Sing, Sing, Sing , a drum solo from L'Arlie- sienne Suite, and Symphonic Tryptich .

During the regular season, the girls posted victories in dual meets over Wilbur Cross, Killingly, Portland, Ledyard, East Lyme, and Waterford. Only Guilford, ECC champs Norwich Free Academy, and State Class âL champions Saint Bernards were able to defeat the Falcon runners. Perhaps the greatest factor that led Fitch to such an outstanding record was the ability of junior Margret Cooke. Acting as the team's leader, Cooke was the first Falcon runner to cross the finish line at the Saint Bernard's meet as well as at the Major Wickham Park Invitational. In terms of consistency, Margret kept her stride all the way to the end of the year as she placed fifth overall in the post-season ECC championship race, earning her all-ECC honors. Also supporting the Fitch contingency were senior Michelle Upchurch, juniors Lexi Andrews and Regina Zalegowski, and sophomores Monica Christie and Jen Rice. Cooke and Zale- gowski have also been designated as co-captains for the '67 fall season. Robert Douglas Who said cross-country was strenuous? Boys' Cross Country Despite injuries to senior Chris Potter and to juniors Matt Anderson and Andy Pearson, the boys Cross Country team still turned in a 6-3 record for the regular season and a decent showing in the post-season races. The State Class L Championship meet saw senior Rob Doug- las place 30th overall, followed by fellow runners Woody White, 49th; Geoff Cordon, 57th; Rich Martin, 64th; Peter Webster, 72nd; Tony Baldwin, 96th; and Aaron Laznovsky, 112th. Their com- bined finishes earned the Fitch Club an 11th place overall. Douglas again proved to be the Falcon's top runner at the ECC Championships as he crossed the finish line in 11th place. Ander- son led the junior varsity squad with a 10th place individual mark. Fitch ended fourth in the ECC Yankee Division ranking behind rivals Norwich Free Academy, Killingly, and Waterford. Injuries really hurt us this year, comments coach Gerry Browning, and if it wasn't for our depth, we would not have been successful. It was a real pleasure working with these guys. Rewarding his fine runners at the Cross Country banquet. Browning gave the Most Valuable Runner Award to Douglas, and the Most Improved honor to Gordon.

Volleyball 136 Concluding their season with a 16-2 mark, the Lady Falcon Volleyball team bettered its last year's record of 14-4 in impres- sive fashion. Senior co-captains Amy Hauptmann and Kathy Orce along with seniors Joyce Dailey and Debbie Blanton, and juniors Katie Nichols and Suzanne Piela paced the netters to a 16-0 mark against shoreline competition like East Lyme, Waterford, and New London. In the state tournament, Fitch rolled through the preliminary rounds by defeating Connard 15-8, 15-8, 15-8. The victory set the Falcons for a quarter final showdown with Amity, the only team to defeat the birds in the regular season. Although Amity proved too great a foe, Coach Mark Sullivan believed that his team performed admirably; Amity was the only team that beat us. Everyone played well and five out of seven players served ninety percent. They played well-they just lost to a better team. Dailey was Fitch's high-scorer with eight points in the 15-5, 15-8, 15-5 loss. A combined 17-3 record will definitely be a tough mark to surpass, but the next year's squad can only hope to excel in its newfound ECC competition. Joyce Cor such Good form on the volleyball court.

Soccer Despite a disappointing 4-1 loss to Danbury in the first round of the State Tournament, the Falcon Soccer Club produced one of the finest seasons in the team's history. Though a State Championship would have been the crowning glory to such an excellent year, the hooters still provided the fans with hard, fast action and record-breaking performances. Its 13-2 mark gives the 1986 squad the honors of most wins, fewest losses, and most consecutive wins (8) of any previous team. A prime factor in establishing such an admirable win-loss total is the attacking prowess of Fitch's front line and midfield. Com- prised of senior captains Paul Menhart and Demian DeVega, Kent Noreika, Joe! Halliwell, Joey Valez, Kenny Helme, and Shawn Rader, the offense scored a total of 63goals, surpassing the old mark of 54. However, a superior team is built of more than just scorers; it also demands excellent play from the defense. Senior tri-captain Andy Holmes and junior goalkeeper Seth Hicks led the back field in holding opponents to only 19 goals during the season. Coach Bernie Nasser credits the team as a whole with demon- strating a major ingredient of success: unity. They played as well as any team I've had, he comments, A lot of players ... became more concerned with the team. Noreika explains If someone had a bad game, the others would pick up the slack. At the soccer banquet, Kenny Helme received the Most Im- proved Player Award while Menhart captured the title of Most Valuable Player. Defensive players of the year were Holmes and Hicks. Next year's captains will be Halliwell, Chris Moore and Hicks. Mike Dufault My head hurts, my foot hurts, whatâs next?

Certainly the season had its positive moments, as two of the wins came against Killingly, and the third against Waterford. And even still, the club suffered close 3-4 defeats to Saint Ber- nards, New London, and Waterford. However, with the presence of area powerhouses Norwich Free Academy, Ledyard, and East Lyme, who have the numbers 1 and 2 ranked class I players, victory for the varsity players was difficult. Senior co-captains Kim Fuisting and Lori Goodwin rotated at the numbers 1 and 2 seeds while senior Denise Descheneux and Junior Carrie Howe played the numbers 3 and 4 spots respectively. In doubles, the juniors continued their reliable efforts as Jamie Devine, Beth Duffy, and Erin Sherman registered many victories including wins over East Lyme teams. At the club's awards banquet, Descheneux received the Most Improved Player honor and Howe was designated as the team's Most Valuable Player. Coach Dan Strunk looks forward to the '87 fall season with the veteran players returning to demonstrate their skills on the court.

The healthy return of senior running back Theodis Dixon and the more experienced quarterbacks Kevin Kitsch and Tony Martin seemed able to give the offense the attack necessary to defeat any opponent. But their hopes were dashed by a heart-breaking 13-12 loss to the West Haven Blue Devils, a loss that also removed Fitch from its number 1 class L ranking. From there, the Falcons' disappointment continued with a 9-0 defeat by Hamden that eliminated their chances to qualify for the division L championship game. Still, the season ended on a tremendous high as Fitch ousted rival New London in the annual Thanksgiving Day game 27-12 on Whaler turf. The much needed victory broke a 6 year losing streak to the Whalers. Junior Tom Curran received the Robert O'Crady Lineman of the game Award, and Dixon, who rushed for 128 yards on 28 carries, took home the Thames's Award for the Most Valuable Player. As the statistics go, middleguard Curran, line-backer Brian Vanderveen, and a strong defensive secondary, helped the team effort by holding six of their opponents to two scores or less, shutting out one opponent, and not allowing any team to score more than 21 points in a game. Offensively, Fitch scored an average of 25.7 points per game with the largest spread being 36 against Norwich Free Academy. Dixon also completed the season with 1575 total yards, a school record. Alternating quaterbacks Martin and Kirsch have thrown and rushed for 24 and 42 points respectively. Joe Jadamec A sweet victory. FOOTBALL Captains: Mark Evans, Glen Roark First Row: A. Laviguer, M.

Krause Cheerleaders The 1986-87 Varsity Cheerleading Season got off to an impres- sive start beginning with their performance at the Universal Cheerleading Association s Summer Camp, held at the University of Connecticut. Practicing for camp and the upcoming school year began in late March and ran through the summer. Many hours were devoted to preparing stunts, cheers, and dance rou- tines that would be used in summer competition and during the school year. While at camp, the squad earned seven blue ribbons and won awards for outstanding spirit and the Most Improved Squad. After a highly successful football season, the future of the squad was uncertain due to the loss of their coach. After the Cheerleaders missed the first few basketball games, Mrs. Elaine LaPietra stepped in and agreed to coach the girls. The cheerlead- ers' talents were recognized and rewarded, for they placed fourth in the ECC Cheerleading Championships.

Boys' Basketball Sporting a new head coach, a different style of play, and a slew of young sophomore talent, the 1986-87 Falcon Basketball Team entered its season with many high hopes. Although the team saw many losses some bright moments occurred. Senior guard and captain, Paul Menhart, terrorized op- ponents with his long-range three-point shooting. Menhart hit from the newly instated three-point area. The emergence of ju- niors Joel Halliwell, Charles Broach, Joey Velez, Kevin Farquar, and Tom Curran, plus sophomores Eric Hohlfelder, Craig Harris, and Ken Kliphon was a positive note for rookie head coach. Bob McCain. All of the above players will be looked upon for the future leadership. Though not as successful as planned, the season was one of learning for Coach McCain and his assistant, Ted Doyle. The experience that they gained, coupled with that gained by the players, will definitely prove beneficial to future Fitch Basketball squads and give hope to those hoop fans who cheer on the Falcons! by Jeff Hartman The Statue of Liberty play 148 Wrestling Top Row: Robert Valentine, Timothy Martin, Eric Jackson, Ed Ray, Onassis Stratzman, Bill Murphy, Paul Isom, Randa Lago Middle Row: Jason Richards, Kevin Rebein, Dion DeVega, Robert Cram- mer, Renato Ramos, Brandon Potter, Jay Jodoin, Mark Meierdierck Bottom Row: Coach Kosman, Coach Graham 153 Front Row, Left to right: Aaron Laz- novsky, Eric Paillet.

Plagued by injuries and an overall lack of team members, this year's Fitch Falcon Swim Team suffered through a winless sea- son. With a skeleton crew of only sixteen swimmers and one diver at most, the team tried to win but was at a disadvantage from the beginning. Most of the teams competed against had three to four times as many swimmers as Fitch. Injuries to seniors Tom Hartman, Dana Smyle, and Erik Johnstone, and sophomore John Chorlton further hin- dered the team's efforts. But setbacks such as these did not stop the Falcon swimmers from earnestly trying to win. Dedicated swimmers were as follows: seniors Dana Smyle, Jodi MacDonald, Karen Fogg, Pat Townsend, Kim Fuisting, Erik Johnstone, and Jim Kelley; Juniors June Wood, Joelle Smullen, Jeff Pan; Co-captains Fred Keith and Cindy Butler; and sophomores Jen Rice, Meg Schmidt, Ted Lystig, and John Chorlton. Senior Tom Opie Hartman, be- fore injuring himself, was the team's star diver. Although the team effort achieved no acknowledgement, individual efforts did. Before he was sidelined, Erik Johnstone was undefeated in the 100 yard freestyle while Opie was a guaranteed first or second in the diving competitions. In the ECC fin- als, Fitch swimmers had definite, although limited success. Fred Keith, the team points leader, took fifth place in the 200 yard free- style with his best time this season. Jim Kelley won fifth place in the 100 yard breaststroke; and Kim Fuisting, Jodi Mac- Donald, Ted Lystig, and Fred Keith man- aged fourth place in the 4 x 100 Freestyle relay. Karen Fogg, Pat Townsend, Joelle Smullen, June Wood, and Jeff Pan also competed in the ECC meet. These victories proved a very rewarding end to an other- wise unrewarding season. For all the victories, both team and indi- vidual, and for all the fun had this season, the team owes a special thanks to the coach, Vicki Grillo. She never gave up on the team and refused to let the team give up on itself. She provided the push, the encouragement, and the spirit whenever the team needed it. For this, the team says Thanx Vick, for everything.

What Is Now Proved Was Once Only South Pacific '86 Imagined. Fashion Show '86 In Seed Time Learn, In Harvest Teach, In Winter Enjoy Every morning when Mrs. Boyd unlocks the doors to the library, she reveals a well-lit and straight path to knowledge. Throughout the school day, students and teachers use the library's facilities to pursue knowledge and to satisfy curiosity. Annually, the library spends close to $12,000 on books and $2,000 on magazines. Some new additions to the collection this year are The Encyclopedia of the American Constitution, The New Grove Dictionary of American Music, and over 250 teen novels. In addition to reordering monthly magazines, the library buys many popu- lar publications on microfilm. Expanding and modernizing are always concerns of Mrs. Boyd. Recently, her aspirations have been focused on electronic access. With the new addition of an Apple computer system, Mrs. Boyd has experienced the distinct advantage that computers offer and hopes that the library will soon be able to share this service with students and teachers. Teachers are urged to bring their classes to the library and give the students a chance to do research. With a tender smile, she concludes, I just want students to be aware of what we have and to know how to use it.

Wandering by lonely sea-breakers, And sitting by desolate streams; World-losers and world-forsakers. On whom the pale moon gleams; Yet we are the movers and shakers Of the world for ever, it seems. With wonderful deathless ditties We build up the world's great cities And out of a fabulous story We fashion an empire's glory: One man with a dream, at pleasure. Shall go forth and conquer a crown; And three with a new song's measure Can trample an empire down. We, in the ages lying In the buried past of the earth, Built Nineveh with our sighing. And Babel itself with our mirth; And o'erthrew them with prophesying To the old of the new world's worth; For each age is a dream that is dying. Or one that is coming to birth. Arthur William Edgar O'Shaughnessy 200
