Boulder to participate in the Hunter Publishing Co. Yearbook seminar, an annual gathering to teach students all about yearbooks and what goes into making one good. The plan of the morning consisted of everyone meeting at McDonald's around 8:00 am. Mr. Stephen V. LeBlanc, known to most as Shifty, was picking up four people and Wayne Sprague picked up three more, however, Wayne's crew was late for the simple reason of a missing basketball. After we all had our morning munchies with coffee, the group was finally waking up. We discovered that we had forgotten our pillows but it didn't matter because the trunks couldn't have held one more thing. We set out for the Mass Pike listening to a tape of Alice's Restaurant and WAAF. After riding for sixty-miles it was time for a pit stop at Hojo's on the Pike. Another half-hour soon passed and we found ourselves pulling into the Westfield State parking lot. The enthusiasm glowed in our faces as we entered Scanlon Hall, where we quickly made friends with some kids from Reading High School. Everyone received their room assignments and keys and went to check out the rooms. After unpacking Mr. LeBlanc had each one select different courses to take during the next three days. Some of the courses included The nuts and bolts of a yearbook , Advertising and The Classic Column. Mickey McCay, a graphic designer from the Yearbook Company, sketched people's ideas for themes. Actually one of our original theme ideas was based on the Trivial Pursuit game. After thinking this over we canned the idea in favor of a more original theme: Rock Solid. This theme was discovered by Marie McDonald, Kim Beaulac and Shelley Robertson, who had attended a class on picking themes, by Claudine Bennet. It isn't very easy to create a theme, especially since Fitchburg has so many interesting topics to choose from. Th® mu® Ldcqi □ The nights at Westfield were filled with swimming, pocket billiards, movies make your own sundaes, as well as casino night, where they gave us $10,000 in play money to start the night with, and to gamble at various c asino games. At the end of the night each school combined their winnings and participated in an auction for prizes. The last day arrived to quickly for most of us. Saying farewell to new friends, we exchanged addresses. The trip back home seemed to take forever, but in those few days we learned a lot about ourselves and each other and we left Westfield State College as a close-knit group. You could say that we became ROCK SOLID. (Top) Tom Catalini shown with good friend Allison Singhel as Betsy Rosenthal takes a picture.

(Above) Dan Dino Miller knows all the right tools to have for painting the rock. Painting the Rock is a momentous occasion in the life of an F.H.S. student. Every year, on the Friday after the seniors graduate, the next class gathers at the Rock, one of the highest points (in more ways than one) to leave their mark on the city. If you think about it. the location of the Rock is symbolic of the painters' new status at the school. The rock is among the highest spots in Fitchburg, its painters are among the highest in the school — Seniors! Fortunately. June 6. 1985 brought us perfect weather. By 3:00 p.m. almost 100 people had gathered at the Rock, relaxing, and waiting for the paint to arrive. But before the paint arrived, the police did. After a It's good to be alive! Tim Stansel short visit, they departed, and the paint showed up, soon after. At first, progress was slow. The limited number of brushes and rollers, the lack of experience, and shortened tempers all combined to form a less than enthusiastic crowd, but once everyone had a hand print or a slogan decorating his or her clothing, things went a lot more smoothly. Despite a few spills, slips, and skids, no one was badly injured. Tim Stansel, however decided to try his hand at paint skiing. Luckily, he managed to stay on his feet all the way down the rock. Asked about the incident, Tim's only comment was It's good to be alive! Another daredevil, Dean Miller, was able to hold a roller, a can, and the rope, all at the same time, while continuing to paint 86 . Only too quickly, the task was finished. Now officially seniors, the painters posed for group pictures, grinning uncontrollably and looking like survivors of a paint factory's explosion. On the way home, one senior was reported to have glanced up at the Rock from the end of Main Street, and sighed. Wow! We're really Seniors now. That's us. Yes, it is! Student Life 7 On August 27th, Fitchburg High School opened its doors for the 1985-86 school year. It promised to be an exciting year, full of fresh ideas and new experiences. This year a change was being put into effect. Instead of the entire student body starting school on the first day, only the freshmen reported to their classes. This method had never been tried before at F.H.S., but Principal Goode seemed confident that it would work well. The reason for the freshman coming in a day early was to give them a chance to familiarize themselves with F.H.S. before the upperclassmen returned. Mr. Quinn, the freshmen guidance counselor, felt that the students seemed to adjust quickly, despite the great difference between middle school and high school. He was also glad that the freshmen came in a day early because it gave him a chance to meet the students he would be helping through the school the next four years . On that day, the first thing the freshmen did was find their names and homerooms on printed computer sheets which were posted in the main lobby. Commented Lei Phongsamouth, a freshman, There were so many names. I thought I would never find mine! Next, the students filed into the auditorium for a class meeting. Seated by homerooms, they listened to Mr. Goode and Mr. Newcombe welcome them to Fitchburg High. The school rules were explained to them, and they were also told how they could benefit from participating in school activities at F.H.S. Finally, It's great to be a senior finally. I love it! . . .

After the meeting, the freshmen were herded to their homerooms. Here, they completed all necessary forms and paperwork. During the extended homeroom, the freshman were allowed to try out their new lockers. Jack Collins remarked Wow, the lockers are a lot bigger than I thought. At the end of homeroom, the freshmen went through the six period bell schedule, with shortened classes. The only break in the action, according to Chrissy Russel. came during extended lunch period. It was the only chance they got to relax and talk with their friends, old and new. However, the freshmen weren't the only ones present on the first day. A few upperclassmen, mostly seniors, agreed to help out what they kindly referred to as the lowly freshmen . The first of a series of exciting assemblies for the incoming freshmen class. The first day of school kept Mr. Thome busy with the newest members of the band. (Above) Mrs. Maranda tells Nick Pappas the rules and regulations during lunch. (Left) Cautious of what may lie beyond. Jack Collins and Midya Collazo open their new lockers. Kim Kenney remarked, It's great to be a senior finally! I love it! The teachers themselves were glad to be back as well. The first day to them meant counting and arranging text books, preparing for their classes, and starting to learn the names and faces of the new students in their classes. Even though Mr. Kallagher had no freshmen in his classes, he looked forward to the first day of school. It's always great to be back were his words of wisdom. Mr. Stephen Shifty LeBlanc was in total agreement. A lot of my life is spent here at Fitchburg High, and I just love teaching!

The Senior Reception to the faculty is sure to be a memorable event long remembered by the Class of '86. The time was September 11, 1985, the place was Crocker Elementary School, and the atmosphere was fun! Filled with games and laughter, the Senior Reception to the faculty was a chance for Seniors to become closer and 'solidify' as one. The festivities began around 4:30 as groups of seniors arrived and eagerly joined in a competitive game of volleyball. Soon after what seemed to be the fifth tie-breaker, the rowdy crowds began to gather around heaps of watermelon and teams were made for the quick moving, mouth-watering , watermelon eating contest. What a sight it was to watch as we mature seniors raced against each other trying to stuff as much watermelon into our mouths as we could while the less daring members of our class cheered us on from the sidelines. Every rule of etiquette must have been broken as pulp and seeds dripped from everybody's chins — But it was worth it! The three-legged race was less messy but required more athletic skills and long legs. Seniors and faculty members dashed, and in some cases crawled, to the finish line, trying desperately to avoid bumping into each other and twisting their legs with each other. This event, which, by the way, produced quite a few grass stains and torn jeans, was followed by the intense contest of brute 'solid' strength: the tug-of-war. Involving almost every senior, this event was a time for each of us to show off our muscles and 10 Student Life (Right) Dawn Cannavino and Michelle Brissette express the out-come of the tug-of-war. (Below) Angela Babineau and Mr. Lavers show no signs of difficulty in the 3-legged race. pick up a few rope burns. Soon after, the atmosphere became more intense as dozens of eggs were given out to smirking pairs of seniors and faculty members who were eager to delicately fling eggs through the air without egging their partners. Roars of laughter could be heard as less fortunate ones wiped dripping egg from their hands and arms and people could be seen, egg in hand, chasing their giggling partners. This chaos of eggs, however, was suddenly combined with screams of delight as boxes of water balloons were confiscated and their colorful contents were smashed on each other. Within minutes, the ammunition was 'Every rule of etiquette must have been broken as pulp and seeds dripped from everybody's chins — but it was worth it! diminished, and our growling stomachs led us to the cafeteria where volunteering juniors were ready to serve us a hot chicken dinner, fresh from the Colonel. Most agreed that the food was satisfying but some apparently didn't since a roll or two could be occasionally seen sailing through the air. Fortunately however, this was stopped before an all-out food fight was declared. (Above) Kelly Rice gets set to hit the ball as the rest of the team looks on.

As dinner was being finished, some of the seniors tested our skill on the gym's monkey bars and rings, creating impossible positions, while others played a short game of B-ball. After this, teams were again formed and life-savers, which were not unknowingly eaten for dessert, and oranges were passed very intimately from senior to senior by the way of tooth or chins respectively. Wheel-barrel races and finally one last rematch of volleyball concluded the ceremony as the sun set on ths perfect autumn day. All in all, the Senior Reception was quite a success: laughter was shared, friends were made, and cherished memories were formed.

Todd Deacon broke the ice and stepped up in front of the camera. After a few pictures were snapped the rest of the crew began to loosen up a bit and the photo session was on. Two hours later and three changes of clothes the last picture was snapped. Asked if they would ever do this again senior Robin West replied.

Things started going wrong from the very beginning — and they got worse before they got better. From the start, hopes of building a float were dim. Lack of time, money, and support all contributed to making a Homecoming float an unreachable goal. Nevertheless, a noble effort was made to save homecoming by hav ing a dance to commemorate the event, which was originally scheduled for October 5th s game against Wachusett Regional. Alas! Those plans fell through as well. But all was not lost. We did preserve one tradition — the election of the Queen and her court. That went off without a hitch — almost. Six girls were named, with only five escorts (details, details!). Those elected were Laurie Carlson (queen). Sr. Court members Heather Himes and Darci Peterson. Jr. Brenda West. Soph. 16 Student Life Stella Filice. and Fr. Kristin Sorilla. and the escorts were Denis Porter (King). Jeff Gelinas. John Dimartino. Eric Benoit. and Tim Stansel. Saturday morning. October 5th came, and the members of the Homecoming court arrived in proper attire, but even Mother Nature was against us that day. Homecoming was postponed because of the torrential downpour, but thankfully, the game was not. The football team slipped and slid into a 14-0 victory against Wachusett. With the postponement, hope was born anew to make something of Homecoming II. Once again, a dance was proposed, but once again, the administration nixed it. We decided to settle for hav ing just a Homecoming Procession in convertibles and to decorate the cars and the field with posters, balloons and streamers. But. of course.

Another senior court member, as well as three senior football players, were found outside during school Wednesday. Each one received a three-day suspension and they were kept out of all Homecoming activities. By the end of the day. everyone was aware of what had happened, and reactions were mixed. According to one senior. 'It's not fair. Three days for skipping lunch? Be real! But another disagrees they got what they deserved. she states. But life goes on. Finally. Saturday arrived, bringing with it a perfect and clear autumn day-ideal football weather. But the weather was the only thing that went right. The helium tank for the balloons was locked in the main office — so there were no balloons. The signs Booster Club had made Red RaiderColleen Klix)ie DeBarge does a cheer dur- ing the homecoming rally. Junior Mark Pierce out runs St Bernards defender. were torn down. The convertibles — two of them — arrived too late to be decorated, and the third never arrived. The Homecoming procession, led by Klooie the Raider and the FHS Band arrived at Crocker Field and was introduced by the voice of FHS. Fred Sullivan. The game began. Despite the incredible circumstances surrounding Homecoming 85 — the suspensions, injuries, arrests, fouled-up plans, as well as St. Bernard s incredible thirst for vengeance — we won 24-7. And that's what matters, right? Student Life 17 What is the most exciting way you can think to spend a Friday night?

Student Life 19 Michelle Bnssette shows great enthusiasm tor her work, as she shows off one of her patients. 20 Student Life With the high cost of living today, it is practically essential for the average teenager to have a job. There are the basic necessities to think of: food (french fries at Mickey D's), clothing ($100 a month for girls, $50 for guys — at least!) and shelter (the car — to shelter you from Mom's nagging), and of course, saving for college ($5 per month). These all have a way of zapping your paycheck before it's even cashed in. But don't forget the other miscellaneous expenses that tend to pile Sometimes, however, it's not just the money that attracts the teens to a particular job; it is also the valuable experience he can gain from the work. Such is the case for Michelle Brissette. Breezy wants to study veterinary medicine, but for now, she enjoys working at the Animal Hospital, learning first-hand about her future career. f 1 — Michelle Miner cashes in someones lucky winnings with her M-E-G-A-B-U-C-K-S machine. .... Yet another valuable lesson is taught from holding a job at such an early age. Responsibility. Kids that were accustomed to receiving handouts from their parents must now earn their own spending money. In one student's words, With their money, I wouldn't care how I spent it. But with my own — now that I work for it — I think twice about spending. It forces teenagers to learn how to budget their money, a sort of dry-run before they enter the real world of taxes and mortgages. But on the lighter side, jobs are not all work. They also provide endless memories: the new friend on the next register, the food fights when the boss wasn't looking, the college kid who bought a Megabuck from you every week, and finally, who can forget that gorgeous blonde over in produce?!

Who says you can't pick up girls by your locker? says Ramon Collazo According to the rules, lockers are school property' . Nevertheless, many students treat their lockers as their very own — a home away from home. Some kids will go to extreme lengths to personalize the inside of their lockers. They tote to school rolls of tape, scissors, and plenty of magazine cutouts of beautiful men and women in various stages of undress. Other favorites are, of course, ads for all kinds of alcoholic beverages as well as pictures of famous athletes like Larry Bird or the Refrigerator. But then there are those who refuse to decorate their lockers. They are usually the unfortunate ones who get the sticky lockers that remain stubbornly locked when you are running late. Regardless of whether you got along with your locker or not, don't you have some fond memory of your high school lockers? Will you ever Regardless of whether you got along with your locker or not, don't you have some fond memory of your high school lockers? forget the time you stuck so-and-so in a locker and snapped a cruel picture when you opened it up?

Pride Compared to other schools, some facets of FHS don t always measure up. We don't have golf or soccer: we have no AP courses: some of our facilities are in desperate need of repair: and we're always running short of money for books or equipment. But there's one thing that we never run short on. and that's spirit. In that category. Fitchburg High puts most other schools to shame, and never is it more evident than at the Thanksgiving Rally. Each year cheerleaders, majorettes, and as many students as want to participate prepare dances or skits to perform in front of the student body. This year, we hopped aboard the Party Train with our cheerleaders, while the majorettes took us south with the Theme to Miami Vice. Then, came the skits. The Freshmen and Sophomores brought us back in time to catch glimpses of our stars before football fever hit them. Nothing was sacred as the actors poked fun at prominent athletes and their well-behaved extra-curricular activities. The Juniors visited the set of Saturday Night Live, featuring a special guest appearance by Mr. Berthiaume as Mr. Rogers (boys and girls, can you spell vandalism?) Many of the SNL regulars returned as well to cheer on the Raiders. Finally the Senior skit, hosted by the infamous Bubbles McColl showed a special episode of Star Search. Of course. Fitchburg High won the competition, and also of course, poor Paradis had to endure yet another jab for 28 Student Life Can you spell VANDALISM boys and girls? Marlow. Becky.

Regardless of the score at tomorrow's game, and despite the players sore limbs and ocassional sore tempers, the audience was filled with conviction that these young men would give 101% at the 102nd meeting. Raider Pride shone bright that dav. The party train is brought out by the Raider and a few cheerleaders.

Daring. That's probably the most accurate way to describe this year's Thanksgiving Semi-formal. The Junior and Senior officers decided early on to bend, if not completely break the sacred traditions of The Dance. Girls still had to ask guys, but now they agreed to allow (gasp) stag attendance! Furthermore, they shattered the perennial Pastel Pattern by introducing a theme, Go Geisha! Lastly, a reputable band was hired and all seemed rosy. But from there, things began to slide. First of all, ticket sales were less than promising. Next, the oriental decorations which had been ordered somehow got hopelessly lost in transit from Indiana. (To this day they have not been found . . .) And to top it all off, we lost The Game. ) How could the Dance possibly weather such adverse conditions? Surely, failure would make all the work worthless. The Dance must flop. But, surprisingly enough, it didn't! At about 7:00 Friday evening, couples and a few daring singles started arriving, dressed in frills and sliding down the ramp on ultra-high heels and polished shoes. They entered through a wall of Chinese yo-yo's, which yielded easily to reveal a creatively decorated Oriental capsule. Ms. Manzello, Mrs. Zeiner, Ms. Giaquinto and Mr. Romano, as well as a knot of dedicated volunteers had spent hours Wednesday afternoon and Friday preparing for The Dance, and the effort showed. The band Geneva, despite its lack of slow songs, was well-received (especially by the ladies) and they filled the evening with music and dancing. Hours later, many people carried the party to Singapore to keep with the theme of the night. Finally, the clean-up crew tore down the last streamer, popped the last balloon, ate the last fortune cookie, and the night became a memory. Eric Benoit and Robin Phaneuf enjoy themselves while dancing to the music of Geneva. Pat Carroll and Cheryl Banks spend a quiet moment Student Life 33 Party All The Time! Every class has some unique quality which separates it from all the other groups which have passed through these hallowed halls. For some, brains or athletes have left their mark. In our class, well, we stand alone when it comes to parties. This is the controversial article that all the students will treasure be- cause it will remind them of ' 'The best days of their lives. Parents and administrators, well let's just say they skip over this. In the fall, there were the infamous rock parties. Every weekend at the levels — two kegs. Those long walks through the dark paths up to the social gathering of the weekend. These levels fiascos went on for about three of four weekends until the police got wise to our little get-togethers. That night, everyone was surprised to see three cars with flashing blue lights started flashing. No big deal. About 60 kids went flying off in different directions into the deep, dark, safe woods. We all met later at McDonalds, as Darren Barry stares down the cameraman 1 have nothing to hide! (above) An unidentified student proposes a toast. The Empties' 34 Student Life usual. Then there was the Leominster party that FHS completely took over, turning it into the Twin City Brawl. About five fights altogether ended with Raiders victorious as chants and cheers from the crowd shouted, FHS all the way! and We want more! The party that put the icing on the cake, though, was the Paddywagon Ride . We all thought we were getting arrested as the 25 of us rode to the police station in the back of the paddywagon. But the ride was certainly one to remember. Once again chants of FHS filled what little space remained in the truck as we celebrated our victory over archrival Leomin- ster. Ah, school spirit! But all that is old news and pleasant memories. Twenty years from now, at our reunion, we will still talk about all the scandals we went through — but in twenty years we'll only laugh. Punishments and police will be forgotten. (above) Pass the Pack!

Well, one very fine morning in December of 1934, the prayers of hundreds of students came true. The original FHS building bumed down. In its place, a new, modern building was erected.

Instead, these determined hockey lovers raised money through tagging (and other fund-raisers), and they kept the team afloat (a-ice) at their own expense. Although the team had little practice time and little support, the players had plenty of enthusiasm.

In keeping with the Senior class's spotless (ahem!) reputation there were, of course, no problems with booster club this year, and then we woke up. It seems that a few choice teens had been lying to their parents about their whereabouts. They would say that they were going to Booster club until 9:00, but they would go partying instead. Clever, huh? Therefore. Mr. Sullivan, the new advisor, decided to hold Booster club in the afternoon instead of the evening. As a result of this decree, with the new strictness, booster membership plummetted from 50 or so people to a dedicated 5 or 6. In a way, this was good. Marie McDonald and Shelley Robertson pause to try to remember their slogan. though; there was always enough room for one more sign, but lack of interest wasn't the only problem this year. One officer, (whose name won't be mentioned because George might get mad) was almost impeached because he failed to show up for any meetings after his election. Against all odds and despite all hardships and troubles, the F.H.S. Booster Club struggled on (can you hear the violins?) bringing spirit to the cafeteria walls each week!

To top it all off, Ms. Gallo vowed repeatedly that we were one of the worst casts she had ever directed. But even with so much against us, this superlative cast and crew somehow managed to pull, draw and drag it all together for opening night. The audience, although small, chuckled out loud as Friar Rico and Belinda grew, and grew, and grew. They laughed at Shecky's jokes even when no one else at the Boar's Breath Inn would.

Since sophomore year, a few daring and dedicated thespians have lit up the FHS stage to represent the Class of '86. When they, as sophomores, first stepped meekly out onto the stage. Petite Rouge and her friends won the hearts of the audience with Little Red Snares the Wolf, a takeoff on a familiar fairytale. Although they won no awards in the competition, the actors and actresses showed great promise. But the leafy comedy of Little Red provided little preparation for the junior class play, a serious drama which dealt with peer pressure, death, and drugs. The play was definitely a challenge. In the beginning, it was tough: energy was low and the future looked bleak. (There were murmurings of changing the play's title from The Quiet Place to The Boring Place ) Somehow, everything came together at dress rehearsal, and with the help of the ever-patient Ms. Gallo. the cast gave a winning performance.

Although taken for granted, a sharp looking band doesn't come easy; it takes teamwork, determination, and dedication. No sooner does F.H.S. closes its doors for summer vacation, than Mr. Thorne is already busy rearranging sections, selecting new repertoires and patiently teaching the Freshmen all the procedures and secrets that make up this excellent band. When fall arrives, almost too quickly for Mr. Thorne, the bands patience and dependability are tested as each member is expected to attend Saturday morning rehearsals, rain or shine, either at Lowe field or the fourth floor corridor. The Red Raiders schedule is chuck full with rallies, bonfires, parades, and Raise your hand if your sure, Mr. Carlton Thorne football games at which the band is expected to put on a dazzling half time show. But unfortuantely Mother Nature was very active this season, especially on Saturdays when the band was forced to play in jeans and sneakers under covered stands while the rain came down in buckets. Although the band only marched on the field on two sunny occasions, the F.H.S. marching band once again put on an excellent show at this year's snowy T-Day Game, as it marched in straight ranks and the auxilary groups danced to the bands classy beat. But don't think that the band is all work and no play. Band people have a reputation of being enthusiastic, fun loving persons who love a good joke (sorry Mr. Thorne), and the band trips leave every member with wonderful memories.

As the usual large crowd pours into the cafeteria, band members, transformed from students into suave waiters and waitresses, are busy waiting on customers asking the common question, coffee? , while the band parents carefully monitor the kitchen for sudden outbreaks of food fights.

Living up to its reputation for excellence, the 1984-1985 Fitchburg High School Concert Band once again put on a fine performance at the annual Christmas Concert. The audience, a culmination of friends, family, and music lovers, warmly applauded the band as it performed several holiday pieces such as Christmas Music for Winds and Frosty the Snowman. Despite the absence of the stage band and the chorus which were cut from this year's program, the band along with the brass ensemble touched everyone with the festive spirit by asking the audience to sing along to the popular tunes of Deck the Halls and the ever popular Jingle Bells.

As you start to climb the dominating slope, your skis dangling below you and the bitter wind slapping you in the face, your excitement begins to build and you can't wait to finally meet the moguls and ice patches face to face. Without a doubt, there is a certain personal sensation that every skier experiences when he is swishing down the slopes improving on every new turn or showing off some new technique. But with excitement comes danger as each skier has to be aware of other skiers who might have fallen or who have suddenly decided to take a sharp turn right in front of your already crossed skis. And there is always the risk of that tree running in front of you (I'm sure that every skier has encountered one of these). But with each successful run comes a warm sense of pride and confidence that starts your skis running for the next chairlift up for another try at the mountain and that unforgettable feeling.

J.B.S.G.. along with assistance from the organization's Job Specialists, has four basic goals: 1 . To identify and select those seniors most likely to have difficulty entering the labor force upon graduation; 2. To define career objectives and to understand the labor market, career options, and employee responsibilities; 3. To develop job referrals that match participant interest, abilities, and aptitudes; 4. To help members perform effectively on the job during the crucial first nine months.

Some of an officer's happiest moments from F.H.S. might include coming into school at the strangest hours to decorate for some dance that only a few people will attend. (Fewer still will acknowledge the care and effort put into the scene). Another fond memory could be when they spent a long, long winter afternoon mixing candy bars. Did you kow that the candy bars have to be mixed? They come in boxes of caramel, krunch. and almond. Imagine dumping out one hundred cases of candy people too! Now I'm not saying that being an officer is easy — far from it! It's just that most of the jobs done for the class are labors of love. Officers have an extremely warped sense of fun. They actually enjoy selling different things and organizing dances and ski trips and being blamed for whatever bars onto the floor! (Not a pretty sight). One more pleasant (?) memory concerns the collecting of dues. An ordinarily mild-tempered officer can transform into a fire-spitting animal when confronted with some stubborn student who refuses to pay dues. It's one way to get your frustrations out. All in all. being an officer has to be approached with an abundant sense of humor. Yes, it is an incredible responsibility — an officer is never free from his or her title. But a title is all it is.

Even when the crowd dwindled down to about 10 or so regulars, we kept those goals. We were determined to make this the biggest and best yearbook F.H.S. had ever seen. We succeeded; it wasn't all laughs and free soda though (almost, but not quite). Time and dedication are two other ingredients for a good yearbook, as well as a liberal dose of hard work, a pinch of talent, and just a dash of pure brilliance from time to time. The fact is. we had to pull a few late, late nights when deadlines where approaching. We even went so far as to sacrifice Mom's homecooked dinner for (gasp!) Chinese food.

But they still finished the year with an impressive 6-3 record. Winning was important, but the memories were evermore so. Who could forget running back from the apple orchard without turtle necks filled to the top with apples? Or swimming in the reservoir on hot sultry days?

The 1985 Field Hockey teams have a lot to be proud of. For the first time in F.H.S. athletic history, enough ambitious bodies were recruited to form a J.V. team, allowing more playing time for the members. New uniforms and sticks replaced old battered ones and the team attended the Bridgewater State Field Hockey Camp where the girls learned winning offensive and defensive techniques. Although the teams' records don't show it. both teams had a winning season. The teams were enthusiastic, worked hard, and had lots of fun together whether they were playing a quick scrimmage or having relay races to see who could push a field hockey ball with her nose the fastest! Also, many of the opposing players and coaches noticed a change in the teams, as they frequently commended FHS on their progress and talked anxiously about our next season. So although the teams didn't score many goals or didn't have the best records, without a doubt the FHS field hockey teams are on their way in becoming a domineering threat in upcoming seasons. 80 Sports (row I LR) Michelle Bndeau.

Doherty came back to score shortly thereafter on a fluke TD pass when strong safety Todd Deacon got entangled in a Crocker Field sprinkler and the man he was closely covering took advantage of this and made it to the left end-zone. Following a towering Doherty punt which rolled to the FHS 5, the Raider offense sputtered and was forced to punt. But the punt was partially blocked and only went a few yards out of the end-zone.

This has been proven false by a group of eight dedicated girls who comprise the 1985-86 Basketball Cheering squad. Having five new girls on the squad seemed at first to be a great setback. The fact that they had a new coach was an additional hindrance because it took the girls some time to get organized and to feel comfortable with one another. Just as every new team has its good times and bad times, the basketball cheerleaders were no different. They spent much of the year proving that they were indeed just as good as the cheerleaders of other seasons. They succeeded. But the good times were the best times by far.

Certain players want the ball in key situations, so when Fitchburg senior captain Scott Wirtanen got his hands on it with 10 seconds left, nobody was surprised. Nor were they surprised when Wirtanen did some tricky dribbling, drove towards the lane, and swished a 15-foot fall-away jumper even with Marlboro's Scott McCabe defending him well. I shot it fading back so it wouldn't be blocked, said Scott, as the team upset the Panthers. Alas, Fitchburg's Cinderella story was not to be, as Worcester South led by Cedric Ball and Mike Hathaway eliminated a scrapy Red Raider team at the Holy Cross Heart Center. But despite all of the ups and downs encountered during the season the future of Fitchburg Basketball looks Rock Solid. Norbert Pickett has concentration etched all over his face as he goes for a shot against Oakmont Regional. Below Derrick Bennett goes in for two of his 14 points against Leominster.

Moore presses for the lead during the 300 yd. race. Bill Thompson places second in the meet at Marlboro against Wachusett. The shortest indoor track! As the cold weather approaches, the fourth floor of the high school transforms into one of the shortest indoor tracks ever seen (one length o f the hall being only 1 10 yards). The pounding of the dedicated athlete's feet can be heard everyday from 2:30 until the late hours of the afternoon, when all the teachers have gone home, except maybe Mr. Sullivan. We start training early, under the supervision of Mr. Ambrose and Mr. Woods. Up and down, up and down. When running a mile indoors, The shortest indoor track seems terribly long yet the runner continues down the hall, finally reaching his destination — the water bubbler. Halfway through practice, one of the coaches piles his field event Laura Syriopoulos throws her personal best during the meet at Marlboro against Wachusett, earning her a second place finish. people into his car and up to Crocker school they go, to perfect their throw or jumping event. Next to leave the top floors are the hurdlers. They go to their second home, the second floor, and practice their steps and leaps. Left to battle with the boring fourth floor are the long distance runners who must run a countless number of halls, before they can retire to the sanctions of their homes. Although everyone is done with their workout, they all find some reason or another to stay at school (maybe running does affect the brain) and small groups of trackers congregate around various lockers. And so the days turn into weeks, weeks of hard practices that are filled with determined runners. Friday is a rest day and we thank God and Coach. Groans arise as we are told of the 6:45 a.m. bus time. So while the rest of Fitchburg High's students sleep into the late hours of Saturday morning, both the boy's and girl's track teams board the bus, some of us barely awake. The first meet found us at Marlboro High and running against Shrewsbury High. Sadly enough, neither the boys or girls could boast of a win. However, our spirit was not extinguished and for six more Saturdays we followed the same routine, except that as the season progressed our wins enumerated. The girls team, composed of some veterans such as Angie Benoit, Heidi Huckaby and Nancy Bamicle, and some underclassmen who had made their debut during Cross Country, proved to be one full of determination and not perhaps talent or depth. Like any team, though, we did have our stars. Heidi Huckaby shone in the 50 yard dash and 300 yard run, as did Angie Benoit in Sports 1 13 Girls Indoor Track L Shrewsbury 24 -62 W Marlboro 59-37 W Burncoal 74-10 W Wore.

George Hachey and Dave Vaillette. Juniors Marcello Filice and John Christian and Sophomores Ashraf Awad and Steve Sprague all contributed to the teams successful season. We actually felt a pang of sadness when the Indoor track season had officially ended. I'm sure all of us who participated in this sport, which insists on holding its meets at an unearthly hour, will remember the comraderie between us, our personal best times, broken records, and of course coach's jokes. See ya next year on the fourth floor. Kevin Lareau and Marcelo Filice run the 600 yd. race during the meet against Wachusett.

Most articles were written, typed, and packed away a long time ago. All that remains to be written is the Senior farewell to the class. Well, guys, this is it. I've put it off as long as I could because I just couldn't think of what to say. How can I sum up the last four years in a few lines? To quote Dickens, whom most of us encountered here at one time or another, It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. For some members of the class, playing a sport, getting a well-deserved A , or simply hanging around with friends was the best. Losing a game, flunking English, or waking up Monday mornings were the worst. For others, sneaking into dances, trashing McDonald's, and throwing wild parties were the best. Getting caught doing any of the above were the worst. And man, did we get caught a lot! As far as much of the administration is concerned, our class wasn't exactly outstanding. We got in trouble more than the average class, true. We didn't have many extremely academically gifted students, true. We didn't have a great number of extraordinarily talented athletes, true. Some would say that we didn't have much in the eyes of the world. I disagree. Of course we had problems — we're teenagers! But we also had something more important: friendships. I'm not saying that we were free of cliques; it's just that in our class, anyone could find a niche for himself or herself. There was room enough for everyone in the Class of '86. Personally, I'm proud to have been part of this class. Really! And I'm even more proud to have been elected to this office. It has enabled me to give a little back to the people who have given me so much. But it would be unfair of me to take the bows for anything the officers have accomplished. After all, we have worked as a team. First, I'd like to credit the officers from before I was elected: you did a good job with a tough office. Now, Roxi, Karen, and Miche — thank you for putting up with my bossing and mood swings. You guys were the best. George — you got the short end of the stick; you deserved better. I'll never forget working with you. And Sis — you've been the best VP a pres could hope for, as well as the best friend a frazzled, discouraged upperclassman could ask for. When I came on, you showed me the ropes. Later on, you carried me through my depressed sobbing fits when something or another went wrong. And soon, you and I will be sitting together on Crocker Field hysterically crying our eyes out at graduation. I'll never forget you. And I'll never forget the Class of '86. I only hope I never disappointed any of you and that I've fulfilled your expectations to the best of my ability. Live for Today, Dream for Tomorrow, and please, Remember Yesterday with happiness and warm thoughts. 144 Seniors Jmet want Fitchbt -yearbook npu'll have a HBB1 3' ■rve had.

Sr. Reception 4. Kou Yang I am very proud of myself that I have made it through FHS. I will remember FHS and all the teachers 1 met during the past years I also want to say thank you to my English teacher. Mrs. Kirousis. She's a very kind and helpful person.

Again, 1 appreciate everything she has done to help me during the past years and in the coming years Also I want to say thanks to all the teachers, principals, and FHS Are you dreaming your li fe or are you living a dream? Seniors 181 President Liz Caiazzi can be one confusing young woman. In one case, she is an athelete. participating in Softball. Basketball, and Field Hockey on the Varsity level. In another case, she's a straight-A student. Furthermore, Liz is into Competitive Plays and Student Council. She believes that Fitchburg High's greatest asset is the people be- cause if anything goes wrong there's always a bunch of people to make it right. On the other hand, she doesn't like the hypocrisy of the administra- tion. Liz's idol is Annie Lennox of the Eurythmics because Annie pursued her own interests and didn't bow to what people expected her to be. Liz also admires the Senior President for giving her a model to follow. Asked what she wants to do with her life, Liz responds without hesitation, I want to be happy, and to make other people happy.

' It's boring if you don't get involved in anything. Fortunately. Steph doesn't have much time to get bored. Indoor and Outdoor track. Cross-country, Field Hockey. Cheering. Booster Club, and Student Council have all combined to keep her quite occupied at F.H.S. One of her pet peeves, however, are the deadweight — those kids who don't get involved. and if she could change one thing about the high school, she would get more people to participate. Stephanie lists her dad. our own Mr. Lavers, as her greatest influence because he's been there for me. Her favorites include Dr. Pepper and Muskrat. If you don't see Steph as a sweet, fun friend, then — in her own words — You're crazy. 186 Underclassmen Juniors Smile, Kim Palmi, it's almost 2 o'clock! a V A n f i if ft Lourdes Noguera Sean O'Connell Laura O'Neill Kann Olson Kim Palmi Debbie Pans Shaun Paul Anna Pennerti Carmen Perez Evelyn Perez Steve Peters Robin Phaneuf Mark Pierce Jon Pnmeau Brenda Quick Michele S.

Among her favorites, Jane lists Paul McCartney, pepperoni pizza, and playing basketball. Her deepest regret can be expressed simply. There is not enough time to do everything. Oh my! Robin Phaneuf. Junior class V.P., is not interested in politics alone. She participates in sports every season and still finds time for Competitive plays. Booster Club, and regional SAC meetings.

Sophomore Class President, is quite well-known at F.H.S. Although he plays baseball and skis. Bubba's first love is — and always has been — football. He's been playing so long (10 years) that the sport has become a part of me. As for his official duties. Bubba's main goal as President is to make the Sophomore Class happy. He enjoys listening to whatever music is popular at the time, and currently enjoys Eddie Murphy's album and comedy routines. Above all else. Bubba's strongest influence has been his father because he brought me up and taught me discipline. Sherrie Newcombe. Sophomore Class Secretary is a self-declared perfectionist. In whatever she does whether it be field hockey, softball, skits, or homework, she gives it her all. She gives her parents credit for what she's become, because they have courage and strength and they're not afraid to give of themselves. Although she likes the people at F.H.S. ( they have a lot of class ), she feels that the system sometimes gets in the way of learning and that there's not enough communication between the administration and the kids. Heather Roy, Sophomore Vice President, has some . . . unusual interests. She wants to be a professional body builder, and hopefully to win the title of Miss Bay State. She's also interested in skiing (water and snow) and horseback riding. Among her favorite things. Heather names dobermans, canoli, and crocodiles. If she could make changes in the high school she would add sex education and start a weightlifting club. A unique girl. Heather asks us all to believe that all brawn and no brains is Treasurer of her class, Marni Kirousis also plays basketball, softball. and field hockey. She believes that what you are is God's gift to you, what you become is your gift to God. and here at the high school, she is becoming quite involved. She admires her father because he has overcome a lot of difficulties. and has set a good example for her. Mami hopes to pursue a career in business someday. Two of her weaknesses are chocolate and the number one Celtics.

After all, he had the distinct honor of being selected for Fitchburg High's varsity basketball team — as a Freshman! Now a Sophomore, Derrick is still very involved with basketball, and he also plays football, runs track, and serves on the Student Council. Deeply dedicated to having a good time, he describes himself as sportsmanlike and fun to be with. Asked to name his idol, Derrick responds immediately Michael Jordan. He hopes to play basketball in college, and there's no reason why he shouldn't do well there, too. While Kim Troest keeps busy with a full year of running indoor and outdoor track, as well as cross country, she still has time for Student Council and for her friends Hopey, Christina, Sue. and Lisa. As for track, she runs because, she says, Coach Ambrose makes me. Kim describes herself as outgoing, unique, and cheerful. Two of her favorites are Sylvester Stallone and Cherry Coke. Kim calls Shifty her greatest influence because he always knows what he's talking about. Asked what he likes best about the high school, John Richard answers candidly, The people. The people are great. He deals with these people both in school, and after school, when he participates in X-country, basketball, track, and student council. Even with these activities, John still makes time for his favorite pastimes which include collecting beer cans, golfing, watching Clint Eastwood movies, or listening to the Police. John's dream, he modestly admits, is to attend Harvard Law School, and eventually become the Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court. But, for now, John will enjoy his days at F.H.S.

I never realized how much fun staying in school until five almost every night could be. We did have a few minor problems, however: waiting for pictures to come in on the day of a deadline, the first set of blue proofs coming in during vacation while Shifty was in the Bahamas, struggling through the days during the plays when the yearbook staff was diminished to a dedicated few. But even with these problems, I'll never forget the past seven months. I'm sure that no one on this friendly little staff will forget some of the crazy antics — especially those of us who went to Westfield. Who could ever forget the Blue Light Special or Hello Domino's . . . Sorry, we're closed. But without the time, patience, and help of Mr. LeBlanc, this book would never have made it past the first page. Thanks go out to you. Shifty, from the entire staff, for putting up with us and helping us to complete this book. Alas, the year is now dwindling down to a few precious days. Always hold in your hearts the memories that made this book. Thanks go out to everyone who has in some way helped.
