You begin with Seen '86!! The Yearbook Staff decided to start early on the F.H.S. Boulder, so like the previous year we went to Westfield State for Yearbook s Seminar headed by the Hunter Publishing Company. It was held August 12 til August 15. On Tuesday, after pickups made by Stephen V. LeBlanc and Mananne Baho. we were on our way for a fun time at Westfield. Again, we stayed at Scanlon Hall and later that day we went to a general meeting held by Frank Frasier. Mr. Frank Frasier. a gray-haired, prim and proper looking man. made us laugh so many times that week. His funniest remark occurred when he told us the rules of the seminar. ' Do not partake in alcohol or we will have to ask you to leave. Do not partake in pot or we will have to ask you to — share it. At Westfield we learned about business and sales, photography, layout and design, and most importantly theme and cover. Trying think up a theme must be one of the hardest things to do in making a yearbook. One afternoon, during a theme class, we all got to talking and decided that we wanted the yearbook to be different. After a rap. we came out with the idea of Completely Different. Some of us were a little skeptical at first, but after awhile we agreed thdt this would be a fun theme and to say the very least — Completely Different. After 4:00 each day. all of us were free to 'recreate ! We swam, had an ice cream feed, played pool, and gambled with paper money on Monte Carlo night. We also met some other students. Pat McHugh and Beth Alger, from Lebanon — Lebanon. New Hampshire, who became our fast friends. The best night had to have been Thursday when we walked around the dorms at 3:00 AM — and woke up poor, innocent, yearbookies. That night never ended — we caught ourselves watching the sunrise at 5:00 AM in the dorm lounge. Friday morning unfortunately arrived and after a slide show of the past 4 days, we had to leave. After saying goodbye to our new friends and exchanging addresses we started on our way home. All in all. the tnp to Westfield was beneficial and Completely Fantastic. Too bad it ended so fast! T Michelle Haggstrom and Tammy Miner are getting ready to leave the Yearbook Seminar. 2 - Theme L STUDENT LIFE I get hyped-up!

The Class of 1987 was the first class to win the Freshman-Sophomore relay and if looked as if we were going to be the first class to not paint the Rock. It's not that we hadn't tried. We had collected the money and bought the paint, but every time we had planned to paint it, it rained. Finally, we got our act together (and so did the weather) and on Sunday, September 7th, the Class of 1987 made the long trek to the summit and began the strenuous task of painting the rock. And what fun we had! However, I think more paint ended up on the painters than on the Rock. We even showed some organization; Jimmy Clapham and Rob Baldassarre had already taped the outline of the '87. So, armed with rollers, paint cans, and brushes, we went to work. Some ventured halfway down, holding on to the rope, although Danny Keohan preferred not to, even though he fell down the Rock about four times, and the less adventurous stayed safe by watching from the top. More than a few people had their hearts skip a beat; we soon found out that wet paint is quite slippery and that it's a long way down from the top of the Rock. Joey Latimer tried his hand at surfing on the slippery surface, accidentally of course. He was really trying to save Paula Hanney. Finally, at about six o'clock, it looked as if we were finished. Picasso couldn't have done a finer job. The '87 stood out bright and clear on the Rock for all of Fitchburg to see. Many classes who have painted the Rock before claim that the experience brings the class together. Ours was no exception. Some of us will remember the friendships that were strengthened, some will remember the paint in our hair that didn't come out for weeks after or the exact place that we painted, but undoubtedly we'll all remember as the good time it was, the first of the many that our class, the Class of 1987, was to share. I Jane Baho, Kris Ehngi, and Laura Syriopoulos casually walk down Shattuck Street after painting the rock, i Donna Courroyer, Chris Nogueria, and Amy Bergeron display the only spot without paint to Randy LeBlanc.

Kleve to Fitchburg Since Fitchburg is the sister city to Kleve, Germany, F.H.S. became the school of five new exchange students. The newest members of the Junior Class, Claudia Hunck, Achim Von Armelin, Roland Kolata, Robert Fluck, and Arne Dicks. The Germans proved to be super students, taking some of the most rigorous academic courses, including Honors History and Advanced Math. Claudia enjoyed Mr. Bahde's English class, while the three boys preferred math class with Mr. Kalagher. Not only have the German Students spent their time in Fitchburg, but they have also visited other parts of the country. Claudia and Achim went to the Big E Fair in Springfield, while Robert and Roland toured New York City and the impressive mansions at Newport, Rhode Island. Roland also visited Philadelphia with his American Father. Adapting to the American culture was not too hard for our new friends. The Germans thought that there was not a language barrier — except, once in awhile the slang words confused them. Some of their American favorites included: peanutbutter, marshmallow, playing basketball, and the T.V. cartoon G.I. Joe. The exchange students believe that German and American teenagers are basically alike. A few of the major differences concern the education system. In Germany, each student takes 11 to 13 classes. School seems to be more formal there also. The relationship between the students and teachers is better here, because in the U.S. kids always make jokes with the teachers, confided Achim. Another surprising fact is that lunch is not served in the German schools — after the close of school at 1 20, the German students go home and eat. The German students some day hope to come back and visit the U.S. Claudia summed up how they all feel about America. I love America because its people were very nice. They always come up to you and talk to you, even if they don't know you. Hopefully, the Germans had a great time at F.H.S. and will look back on their trip with fond memories. Perhaps, as the Germans often say, the exchange student's visit will cement the bond between Kleve and Fitchburg.

This year was the programs trial run. Although there were some difficulties, it was considered to be a great success. Hopefully it will be continued in the future. Not many are given the opportunity to visit a foreign country and establish lasting friendships with people who otherwise would have been complete strangers. And for such an affordable price; $300 for three weeks in Germany. One stipulation, someone comes home with you for three weeks. Not a bad deal! In the beginning, I was somewhat nervous. I had traveled, but never out of my own country, and never with people I was hardly familiar with. Not to mention all of the controversy overseas involving terrorism. Meetings were held routinely in preparation for the trip. Soon those unfamiliar people became known as friends. As time went on more friendships were made and others strengthened. On July 17th, with a slight 7 hour plane delay, our plane was Germany bound. The flight was long (and for some an experience in itself!, but when landing time approached we were all in the windows eager to take in as much of our new home as possible. Even though we had been awake for roughly a day and we were t The Fitchburg Exchange Program to Kleve, Germany. From F.H.S. are Bonnie Stone, David Petley, Valerie Marble, Pam Herick, Sheila Daoust, Brenda West and Jill Marceau. - Take my picture! Exchange students on a hike through the Netherlands. arriving at 2:00 p.m. in the middle of their day. Arriving in Amsterdam airport (seven hours late) we found our German exchange partners just as tired as we were, waiting patiently with a yellow rose for each of us. Jet lag would soon set in! The trip included many exciting highlights as well as educational trips. In Germany we toured Kleve, the city in which we stayed, hiked through parts of the Netherlands, visited Amsterdam, shopped in Holland and Brussels, toured museums in Amsterdam, visited Government establishments in Bonn, and much more. At home we traveled to Boston, Maine, Cape Cod, Concord, New York, and we even toured Fitchburg! One of the things people asked me upon my return, Was it really different over there? Yes and no. I found the people to be very friendly. The highways are outrageous. How fast can your car go '?' that is your speed limit. The music is mostly in English for example Madonna and Rod Stewart. In Gennany their T.V. only receives three broadcasting stations, they view many American programs: Dynasty and Dallas. The Germans eat a lot of bread, and are typically very neat and organized. Many of the people smoke cigarettes. The discos are great and the parties are better. I guess you'll have to decide for yourself how different it was. For me, this exchange program was a terrific experience. I am greatly satisfied with the way I spent my summer vacation this year. To be honest, there were some points in the trip where I was completely frustrated and very homesick but I got over them. Looking back now at my trip I find nothing but happy memories. Thinking of the friends I've made and the times we've shared brings a smile to my face. Hopefully someday I will return. by Pam Herrick Student Life Since it was dark we had to use . . . t Stephanie Page and Sean O'Connell hop down the field in hopes of winning the sack race. —  Half the senior class pull with all their might during the Tug of War. 1 0 - ■ Student Life i The other half of the senior class pulls with all their might. i Doug Grutchfield and Cindy Coleman lead Jane Baho and Roland Kolata in the sack race. T.LC The Senior Reception started off witfi a bang when we because of the date change, but actually, it was a successful occasion. On Wednesday, all tickets were sold and all waited in anticipation for the Senior gathering. Unfortunately, some Seniors and Faculty mennbers could not attend because of previous engagements, but most found their way to Crocker School, on Thursday, September 18. We began our gala occasion at 4:00 with a game of volleyball. After all our competitions, we finally got the hang of hitting the ball over the net, more people arrived, and we began to have some real fun! The Senior Reception started off with a bang when we had our first game. Students ran over to the field and picked teams for a watermelon eating contest. Stuffing pieces of the sticky, red watermelon into their mouths, a team consisting of Senior boys, quickly slurped up the juicy fruit and won the race. After, we had the three-legged races. (To tell you the truth, the sack races were almost nonexistent because we lacked a vital part of the race — the sacks. However, a friendly custodian found some sacks and we were able to continue with the traditional game). We practiced hopping around with our partners and then the real challenge began. Seniors and teachers jumped, ran, and rolled in every fashion in hopes of getting to the finish line first. Using every ounce of their strength, all the Seniors participated in the Tug-of-War. There were many fierce, high-spirited competitions: Boys vs. Girls, Teachers vs. Seniors. Everyone pulled the rope with all their might to be on the victorious team. Once in a while, one dirty team would let go of the rope, and the poor opponents landed with their faces on the ground. After these games, Seniors went off in all directions: some ended up in he gym playing hoop and climbing the ropes, while others played volleyball against the good-natured faculty. When Mrs. Zeiner called the Seniors to eat, we ran as fast as we could to get in line for an appetizing meal of Kentucky Fried Chicken. student Life 1 1 But some of us ended up with egg on our face! When every morsel of the Colonel's chicken was finished, some of us hopped on the monkey bars and rings, swinging like we were back in kindergarten. Next, we played our final outdoor game, the ruthless Egg Toss. Since it was dark we had to use T.L.C. to catch the egg or we would end up with gooey yolk on our clothes. To close the ceremonies, we got to know each other very closely with the orange and life-saver pass. Passing these foods to each other proved to be very tricky and many times our faces became red with embarrassment. Despite the confusing dates, the Senior Reception was a big hit. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves! The atmosphere was perfect, everybody united into one close group. Hopefully, the whole Senior Class will always cherish the memories of our first official gathering together. t Joanne Arsenault puts the squeeze on the competition while Andy Stephens coaches her. 12 — Student Life t Stephanie Lavers plays 4 square after a fine dinner. Student Life - ■ 13 Fashions The photography session began with nervous smiles and giggles. And sometimes I wonder if we were all cerlain that we wanted to be doing this. Despite our shaky beginning, we ended wishing there was more film. Between numerous wardrobe changes we relaxed and started having fun. The girls loosened up fast; after all, who doesn't enjoy being in front of the camera once in a while? The boys, on the other hand, needed a little more pulling and prodding. But once they got started, they were ready for the magazines. Cosmopolitan and GQ here we come! ■ 14 Student Life Fads Flashes of the camera . . . sit, then stand . . . smile ... be natural! Pam Herhck and Lisa Yarussi seem to have missed their calling; they proved to be pros for pictures. Birds of a feather flock together, so for our final pictures we decided group pictures would be appropriate. Last time: Smile! One more flash, nine sighs of relief and it was over. Did we have fun!?! What's an Annex? Lost Freshmen, schedules, new homerooms, old faces, and the teacher that I wish I had: all a part of that wonderful commotion that we call the first day of school. Oh, Yeah! They get to sleep late one more day! remarks a Freshman on the upperclassmen's lucky break. The hallways were filled with shouts of Did you see how much he's changed over the summer? and Her tan in outrageous! The 5th floor pool is still a mystery to the poor, deceived Freshmen as they wonder What's an annex? Maybe its up there with the pool! Okay, teachers, ready for some real excitement? Presenting . . . your class!!! It's that crazy bunch of kids whose heads you'll be trying to best to cram an education into for another year. We know that summer house near the lake that you just left looks pre tty good now, but its too late to run away. Hold on to your seats while we drive you up the wall! One more blessed year of high school for the seniors, those lucky devils who can stick their tongues out at everybody else. But don't get too happy, you still have 179 more days of tests, pop quizzes, and of dealing with those mysterious creatures called teachers. And, yes the hallways do look cleaner, but how long will they stay that way? Bustling bodies, questions, questions, the air was thick with confusion, which eventually but surely settled. Forgot where the gym is? Can't find a bathroom? Don't worry, this day comes only once a year! student Life 17 FIRE! I George Baho checks the depth of the water on the 4th floor. It happens when you least expect it. You'll be sitting in class for 20 minutes, then DING DING DING, another fire drill! Everyone slowly rises, some grinning at the thought of breaking out of class for ten minutes, others griping at the thought of breaking out of class for ten minutes, other griping about having to go outside into the cold weather. The students slowly trudge down the halls, leaving through whichever exit they see their friends go out. Outside we all stand huddled together in the streets, talking about the test you were taking, yelling to your friends, sneaking a cigarette, or just trying to keep warm as you stand defenseless in the t George Baho brings in the speedry I machine. — ■ The task begins, on removing all ' the water. January wind. The teachers yell to get on the sidewalks, and you grumble about the cold, wondering when you can go back into the build- ing. You take your sweet time, stopping at your locker and walking down the second floor three times before you go back up to History class. No one ever takes a fire drill seriously. Ever since first grade, we've been drilled, listened to lectures, and watched films about fires. Yet we always regard fire drills as a nuisance or an excuse to get out of class. But the fire alarms have served their purposes in the past few years, such as when the sprinklers went off in the kitchen in '83, or the bomb scare in '86, and the most current sprinkler scare this year, when the fourth floor, for some mysterious reason, decided it wanted to get wet, send- ing the entire school to the cafe and gym. Even though fire drills usually result in 10 minutes of standing in the fresh outdoors, let's just re- member that they're for our safety. student Life 19 1 Two of Fitchburg High's Students enjoy the sun after school Friends For Life friend ('trend) n.1 . one attached to another by affection or esteem. 2. one that is not hostile 3. one that favors or promotes something. t Nathan Flinkstrom and Tracy Alano pass time during class. t Lisa Guertin catches Kim Dean while she falls down on the job. 20 Student Life i Danny, Alyssa, Denise and Rob — 1 Jerrilyn.

It will be a challenging year for us. Our advantage is our quickness. We're hoping Conway and Ghilardi can do the job for us underneath. The patience was there! It was a good learning lesson for the team. I was worried about Nick going out. We went to a slow-down game and forced them to foul us, which they did, and we made the foul shots. I think Norbert getting in foul trouble was a key to the game. We were unable to stop Hytinen in the fourth quarter, and Charpentier kept on hitting from the outside. I wanted them to play with intensity. They played tough in the first period, but I was glad with our defense, which wore them down. We played good defense tonight. I'm glad to see us keep our compo- sure. It's tough, we get so eager and want to run. Their efforts (Mark Pierce and Scott Boccia) don't show up on the score column but they make things happen. They are after the loose balls, they rebound and pass well. Norbert is the leading scorer in the state, averaging 34 points a game, He is a great player and a tremendous asset to this team. We have been working on our shot selection in practice. Our game play was to key their defense on Pickett. When Goodchild, Pappas and Bennett were hitting it began to take St. John's out of their defense. Are you kidding? I'm worried when I'm riding to the game in the bus.

Another year of basketball has gone by along with another year of hard work. When people think of basketball, they mostly think of a bunch of players running up and down a floor. But this is only half of the game. To play basketball, one must be smart enough to know when to pass the ball and when to shoot it. Mosi of all, this player must have it in his gut to win. This is the full picture basketball represents. This year's J.V. basketball team did not fall short of meeting these requirements. Even Coach Cordio admitted that his team of 86-87 was one of the best that he ever had to coach in his seventeen years. This is a very high compliment considering that he won his two hundredth game this year. No one can ever deny that Coach Cordio's career at Fitchburg High has been illustrious so far. There is no doubt that Coach Cordio received much help from his fantastic players. Key people like Tyrone Collins capped this year as one of the dis- tricts finest basketball players. But as soon as he wakes up and realizes he isn't Michael Jordon, he'll know he was an out- standing high school basketball player. When Gary Pierce wasn't hurt, he dazzled the cro wds with his play-making abilities which sent a spark through the team. Man Carlson made key rebounds and provided the muscle that was necessary underneath the boards. However, things happens behind the scenes that most people don't know about. One person that must know the ins and the outs of the basketball team is Stella Filice. She couldn't stay out of the gym after school, even if she tried. But she isn't the only one. Often, other girls would pop in and out of the gym to watch sweaty guys running around the court chasing a ball. One other thing that the basketball pla yers will never forget is Coach Grutchfield's voice. This voice is so dis- tinctive that the players often try to im- itate it. Derrick Bennett comes the closest. Finally, let it be known that Nick Pappas led the team in the most laps run, clearly exceeding one hundred and fifty.

The Fitch- burg High Girls Varsity Basketball Team had an extremely Challenging schedule. Many of the games were close, as the team lost five games by one or two points. All of the teams Fitchburg faced had much greater height advantage, since Fitchburg's tallest player stand 5'6 . Even still, the girls' team is very spirited and played each game with intensity. Fitchburg was led by Senior Co-Captain Karen Lamarine, who captured the C.M.C. Scoring Championship for the second year in a row with 18.2 points per game. A talented basketball player. Karen will be playing for the Salem State 1986 National Champs. Senior Co-Captain Jane Baho also contrib- uted to the team with her shooting and rebounding, while Junior Marni Kirou- sis' ball-handling skills and wise play enabled the team to set up its offense.

Today it's a sport in which both men and women partici- pate. Try-outs for the team this year were like this: we changed into sweats and other assorted sports gear and went up to the gym where Mr. Alario was teach- ing us the practice drills which we all naturally learned extremely quick. Fortunately everybody who tries out makes it, so there wasn't that much pressure on us. We started our games well prepared and ended just as well. Our top scorers this year were Sophomore — Marice Nogueira, and Freshmen — Paula Goodchild and Deanna Baxter. But everyone contributed to make this year a winning season. Although we did well, we weren't quite as serious as things may have seemed. Many of the memories con- tain our victories but also include humorous blunders, such as Lisa Guertin taking her great stroll in bounds carrying the ball. But don't worry Lisa, we didn't mention the tech- nical caused by the yarn bracelet. And of course one can't help but chuckle at Chnsti's ballerina like leaps performed while in the process of passing the ball. And who can forget all the marvelous times we had at away games. The bus trips were not bad at all. These are the times we'll always remember. But I think the thing we'll remember the most is that our record is better than last year's J.V. team. — Tammy Miner 44 —  Sports «— You better give that ball or else, growls Christi. i Coach Brasili tries to give the girls a pep talk, obviously it's not working.

Sports 53 54 Sports SKINNY-DIPPER Cross country has always been ste- reo-typed as a sport in which a bunch of crazy high school students chase squirrels through the woods. This is partly true as any member on the team will attest to. But cross country has another side, a more in- teresting and unknown side. No one would ever suspect that some of the wildest things of high school life happen on the cross country team. Picture a large, beautiful lake in the wilderness of northern Fitchburg. The runners come closer into view, and they now see a person swim- ming. Leaving the details out, the swimmer turns out to be a female skinny-dipper who has been taken totally by surprise by the boy's cross country team. This incident happened four or five years ago, but it acts as a sort of incentive for the young Fresh- men to join the team. The woman has never been seen since by the team, but they run by the reservoir just the same. The reservoir also serves as a refreshment for the sweaty runners who decide to stop for a swim. Who can ever forget the time Coach Gastonguay was supervising the team in the reservoir when the city ranger happened to ride by. These are all past incidents that formed cross country into the sport it really is. Now let's deal with the present and the 1 986 cross country squad. Anyone who runs cross country can appreciate the weird antics of Ashraf Awad. The return of Joey Latimar also added new variety to the team. But the constant efforts put out by Doug Gastonguay, Angel Santiago, David Gagne, and the new upstart Craig Cormier cannot go unmentioned. Coach Gastonguay is the central charac- ter behind the scenes of the cross country team. As soon as the bell rings at 2:00, the monster within this energetic coach is un- leashed as he prepares his recruits for a vigorous work-out. However, the team is truly thankful because of the energy that Coach Gastonguay exerts to motivate the team. The squad wishes him luck in his new baseball. i The Fitchburg runners plunge from the starting line. Boys X-Country F.H.S.

Not being able to get out of the park- ing lot from the Shrewsbury course, meeting new people, and going to Mickey D's after meets left us all with deep impressions.

MENACING FRONT LINE ATTACK The 1986 Raider Field Hockey Sea- son was truly a rebirth. From a season with no wins to one with six is a tremen- dous feat that both the Varsity and Junior Varsity teams were thrilled to make happen. Training began in mid-summer at the camp held at Mount Wachusett Col- lege and didn't stop until the nets were folded back into the field house in late October. Stressing an intense offen- sive unit, it didn't take Coach Barbara Gervais long to have a menacing front line attack. As for defense, a force was formed dedicated to speed, agility and patience. But this season, although productive, also boasted other factors in its success. It has often been said that business shouldn't be mixed with pleasure, but by the time the Raiders had left their rivals' ravaged fields, the opposition didn't know whether to laugh or cry. On one hand, they were laughing at the ex- ploits of Chris LaBarre, Steph Lavers and Sherrie Newcombe as our girls shocked them with alien grunts, and screams or fleet-footed razzle-dazzle, respectively. On the other hand, they were in tears over the double-team ef- forts of Megan Stephens and Christie or the fearsome grace of Captain Deuce. And then there were Marloe's stick-scorching drives . . . But laughter predominated this sea- son. Whether on the bus, at McDonalds or at Memorial Field, the Raiders were first friends then a team.

This, ladies and gents, is the highly competi- tive and aggressive sport of — you guessed it — field hockey! There's alot more to this sport than meets the eye. It takes a lot of practice and training to hit a little white ball with a wooden stick. For the most of the J.V. players it was a real challenge. At the beginning of the season most players know anything about field hockey. The coaches would briefly explain the rules and your positions, telling you to go here, do this but don't do that. But we learned the hard way . . . trial and error, it's the only way to go! Practices weren't that bad. You had your relay races, suicides, and scrimages. They were fun, except maybe for the sui- cides . . . they brought on alot of aches and pains. The games were quite interesting. This is where the players tested out their new found skills and their running capability. Running up and down the field for a straight twenty minutes can really take alot out of you.

Those immortal words will be muttered for years to come by every player who was on the 1986 F.H.S. football team. The season started out with a great optimism. An excellent coaching staff, good players, and high spirits. We wanted to hit! The pre-season was a tough one, our schedule mcluded Eastern powerhouse Brockton High School. But after the dust cleared, and sun and fun double sessions were over, the plays were in, the starters picked, and we were ready to go. It was about then that things began to go wrong. Three players were lost for the 1st game against Oakmont because of disciplinary reasons. We entered the game, however, con- fident and with high spirits. Despite the score-the game was a close battle — most of which was fought in the rain. The Raider offense led by Sophomore Quarterback Nick Pappas sputtered several times and was only able to operate one scoring drive capped off by a 6-yard to pass grabbed by Senior Tn-Captain Scott Bocaa. The Raider defense held strong against Oakmont s star running back Tim Driscoll. But their efforts were marred by penalties and big plays, mental mistakes were the downfall of our team on that day. The score 19-9 — Oakmont. Player of the game — Scott Bococia. A gutsy game one TD, one interception, and one hell of a diving catch!! We entered the St. Peter-Manan game angry! Our anger payed off. By half-time the score was 21-0 in favor of the Raiders! Derrick Bennett caught two passes for 77 yards, including a TD. Scott Boccia caught and ran in for two TD's Tyrone Collins also scored one 30-yard TD run — It was his first carry as a varsity player! The Defense held strong led by John Christian and Chris Ciccolini. They b oth recovered a fumble. Steve Vaillancourt and sophomore Dave Bolduc each recorded sacks. Bolduc had two. Player of the game — Nick Pappas, with two TD passes. The final score F.H.S. 28-7. Our game against Wachusett was played on a Friday night in the pounng ram. To say that the game was a muddy war would be putting it lightly. The two teams battled back and forth in a defen- sive struggle. Each team was unable to score — generating little offense. Finally with Fitchburg having only ten men on the field Wachusett scored. The mistake was a costly one. Fitchburg had a chance to take the lead when Scott Boccia returned a punt for a TD. The play was called back because of a clipping penalty. Final score was Wachusett 6-0. Players of the game — the tough Raider Defense. The St. Bernards game was one that will haunt us forever. Once again the offense could not get moving. The defense was on the field a lot. Bubba Caron ran for 39 yards and Derrick Bennett intercepted a pass. This game was one we don t like to talk about and would like to forget. Final score was St. Bernards 13-0. Players of the game — All the sophomores who filled in for all the injured seniors.

Our defense was holding strong — causing fumbles. Just before the half, a Holy Name receiver got behind our secondary and hauled one in only to be tackled by Mark Pierce at our ten. Next play they scored. At half-time the score stood 14 all. The second half was a defensive struggle won by Holy Name. They squeezed out the game-winning touchdown just before the end of the third quarter. Final score was Holy Name 21-14. Players of the game — Mark Pierce — he came off an injury to record an interception for us. Scott Boccia — one TD, and one punt, and Pete Rosado — after only two weeks of football he filled in for injured noseguard Mike Bennett and did an incredible job. The St. Johns game was our Homecoming week. Through the first half, the game went as most of our games usually went — a defensive struggle. But the Defending Superbowl Champs took a 7-0 lead into the locker room at half-time. Fitchburg was moving the ball but could not punch it in. We were stopped inside the St. Johns ten yard line three times and inside the thirty once. In the second half the Pioneers took advantage of a worn down Raider defense and scored two more times. The one offensive bright spot came when Tyrone Collins hauled in a Nick Pappas pass and rumbled into the endzone. Pappas (4-5 for 87 yards) hit Boccia for the two Point conversion with no time left on the clock. Final score was St. Johns 21 -8. Derrick Bennett and Marcelo Filice each had an interception. Bubba Caron led the Raiders with 54 yards on the ground. Player of the game — Marcelo Filice: he was taken from the field by ambulance after sustaining an injury while trying to block a punt.

The team tried to ignore everything going on around them and concentrated on practice. It was a difficult week but in the end we felt we were prepared. Game day roiled around; it was a clear day. With the field slightly wet, the stage was set for war! The hitting during the game was hardnosed and the plays intense. Like any other Thanksgiv- ing game, it was filled with controversy and wild stories. The controversy occurred in the fourth quarter after Tyrone Collins blocked a Charpentier punt and Fitchburg scored on a pass to Derrick Bennett. The play was called back because of a holding penalty. Two plays later Scott Boccia took the handoff but fumbled struggling for the endzone. The call was controversial because many including Boccia believed he was down before the fumble. Leominster got the ball on the twenty yard and because of an unsportsmanlike conduct call on the F.H.S. coaches, Leominster ended up on the thirty-five yard line, ending a potential F.H.S. threat. The wild story occurred when a dog by an un- named F.H.S. player decided to try and help the F.H.S. team by halting an L.H.S. drive when he scampered onto the field during second half ac- tion. The dog then took his position as an extra safety. As you know eleven men and a dog is breaking the rules — so he was escorted off the field. The Blue Devils opened the scoring in the first quarter sparked by a John Flowers interception. Quarterback Dave White scored on a one yard keeper. Leominster led 7-0. Later in the half, Leominster scored again. This time it was a 21 yard field goal by Pete Charpentier. Leominster moved down to the F.H.S. four yard line but they were stopped on three consecutive goal line stands by the F.H.S. defense, led by linebackers Chhs Ciccolini, Greg Sorilla, and Tyrone Collins. On fourth down, Leominster elected to kick a field goal. During the first half the Fitchburg offense was unable to start a successful scoring dnve. The two teams went into the locker rooms at the half with Leominster up 10-0. After the half each team scored twice. The first Leominster touchdown was sparked by Matt Aubuchon. The second Fitchburg TD came when Scott Boccia took a pass and had to throw back to his quarterback who scampered for a 50- yard TD play. The final Leominster TD came when Brian Picucci scored on a 40-yard stem- ming from a fake punt with 1 :30 left to play in the game. This touchdown slammed the door on F.H.S. Fitchburg stats showed 259 total yards. Tyrone Collins had 50 yards on 14 carries. Nick Pappas had 47 yards, Scott Boccia had 44 yards, and Bubba Caron 1 1 yards. F inal score Leomins- ter 23-15.

Things people do not realize are one less penalty, one more block, or even one more prac- tice together as a team, could not of changed the outcome of many games. Despite a twenty minute practice after a two hour Varsity practice on Friday or an hour practice on Saturday morn- ing before the Varsity game, these guys still tned to stay together and did show some outstanding plays and individual efforts dunng the season. However, under the circumstances with the Varsity, there usually was a different team every week with players being shuffled back and forth, playing Varsity one week.

You have young kids whom the coaches must mold into future football players as well as young men. The transition from middle school to high school is quite a drastic change. The great big athlete at the middle school level is now starting all over just as another Freshman Football player. He must again prove himself in front of his new peers and coaches that he is able to play at the high school level. Once the season begins you start to become closer to your friends and coaches. With every passing game a bond between players grows closer and closer. Then on that cold Tuesday afternoon when all is said and done the Freshmen pull together for a victory. Why do the Freshmen play so hard and rough? To reach that climactic point, to play on Thanksgiving Day! ] Darren Bennett makes his move to avoid a tackle on a slippery, snow covered field against Leomins- ter. Sports 73 THE DOUGHNUT Although the 1986-1987 indoor track team was much smaller than usual, the team still seemed to possess the spirit and enthusiasm that It has been known for year after year. The season itself seemed to be a much shorter one. this due to the fact that instead of competing in simple dual meets consisting of two teams going head to head, there were double and triple dual meets consisting of three to four teams doing battle at once. This meant that there would be a much shorter time period to lower personal times and knock off records off the record books, and considering most meets were held at Marlboro high school track known as The Doughnut, it made things twice as hard. One fine example was the performance turned in by Junior Kevin Beaulieu in the 45 yard hurdles. Week after week he would turn in fine performances and climb closer to the record held by Mike Gallo until in the final meet held at The Doughnut he came just one tenth of a second away from the record. He will have one final year to better this performance. Senior captain. Marcelo Filice, was another track star that turned in a fine year in the 50 yard dash. 600 yard run. and the mile relay.

Then the third and fourth floors turn into a training area for the trackstars. And everyone just loves the hallways. In between sets you can hear people say- ing, I hate running on these floors. or something like, It's so hot up here! When practice is over, almost everyone leaves. But as with every group there are the people that just hang around and we have ours. The three musketeers Stella, Eva, and Christina would be bouncing down the hall. Even though the team was rather small we did do well, with a 3rd place finish in the Martin Luther King Relays, and record setting performances by Lisa Yarussi in the mile and Cindy Coleman in the hurdles.

JUST ONE FAMILY All over the world soccer is the most played sport. Only now is it starting to become popular here in the U.S. And more importantly it has been rein- troduced at our high school. This, our first year was not very successful, con- sidering we were asked to play a divi- sion one schedule, which included two State Championship teams (Leo- minster and St. Johns). At first the soccer team was divided, Americans on one side Asians on the other. So that even if we didn't do well, the sport took two separate groups and made them one, and I'm glad to say Coach Martin Aristegui was the biggest reason for this. Most importantly the reason for this article we the soccer team would like to thank you Coach Martin, because it was you and your love for the sport that brought us as one family, even though you killed us daily at practice. t Coach Aristegui advises his team dunng half- time.

Amy Beauregard I've Got Rhythm All too soon school began and every Saturday the band members would go down to Lowe field and practice for three hours. Aside from the fact that Saturday rehearsals took up part of our weekends, and that Mr. Thorne was a bit too anxious, things went along fairly well. Mr. Thorne was delighted that the Freshman had picked up the steps quickly, but he was still worried that we would really mess up on the playing field. Well, we got through the games without too much difficulty ex- cept for the time at St. Bernards when we took a wrong turn after Pre-game. Even though we were frozen at most of the games and Mr. Thorne was flipping out, we still managed to have a good time. After half-time we would jump up and run over to get soda, hot chocolate, and doughnuts. Throughout the games we joked around and usually found some- thing to laugh at. We especially remember the game at Bedford. Everyone was in high spirits and we went crazy over the music that the Bedford band played. Everyone in the band helped to make the football games exciting and even though sometimes it got tiring and repetitious, most of us were glad to be there.

It all begins with auditions. Ms. Gallo hands each prospective actor and actress a script that they are hardly familiar with or even heard of. Butterflies are skydiving in the stomachs of everyone auditioning and when its all over it seems like everything could have gone better. Nonetheless, the cast list is posted the following day and there are dis- appointments as well as personal triumphs. And so the long weeks of rehearsal begin.

The program is in its 5th year at Fitchburg High School. It has now become a two credit course and thus an added incentive for students to join and benefit from the services offered. There are presently 35 Seniors enrolled in the program, fvlost of these students will enter directly into the work force upon graduation or attend a 2 year college. Throughout the year these students work with their Job Speci- alist, Ms. Virginia Sugden, who serves as a teacher, a career counselor, and job developer. Ms. Sugden teaches the students employability skills which consist of such things as resume writing, interview tech- niques, telephone techniques, and cover letters. Career Exploration is also an integral part of the curriculum, which includes working with a computer, researching different careers, and bringing in guest speakers from a variety of occupations.

The students bring forth their lack of skill, more than to make up for enthusiasm. Traditionally, the Jr. Varsity and Varsity basketball members can not play in the games, giving each class a fighting chance. The Jr. Sr. girls usually starl the games. Most people feel that the girls play too aggressive. You could even say that they play like Barbarians! They rip and grab at each other just to get the ball. The boys are a different story though. They play a more organized brand of ball. By the time the Freshmen and Sopho- mores get to play, most of the students and faculty members are gone. Even though they are playing practically by themselves, they give it their all.

Parents, relatives and friends knew what to expect. That's why they arrived early to pick up a copy of the program and to reserve the best seats. Having done do, the large and happy crowd sat back and awaited an evening of pure entertainment. The festivities began with the welcoming smile and salutations of Carlton Thorne, the leader of the band. Next came the sing-along in which the audience was accompanied by the Brass Ensemble. By this time, the ice had been broken and the crowd inundated with the sound and spirit of Christmas. In addition, a volunteer, Mr. Kendall, was en- listed by Mr, Thorne to play the sleigh bells. Answering his call of duty, Mr. Kendall bravely set to work at keeping the masses rolling in the aisles. The program was roun- ded out with traditional carols and songs of the season by the Stage Band, with the accompaniment of Ms. Gilbride and Mr. Thorne. The evening closed with the sincere wishes of the band for a Merry Christmas 1 986, in tune with the rest of the band's functions, set the tempo for it's continued success in 1987. The piccolo and the flute are among the instruments that the Fitchburg High School band play. Mr. Thorne and Brendy Walters get ready to per- form with the brass ensemble.

When it came time to go to Westfield State College for the seminar, he chose the people thought would benefit the yearbool the most to go. It seemed weird at first to be going somewhere with seven people who seemed to be complete strangers, after all how many people in the high school have spent four straight days together? We definitely hadn't, and there were only two people who were familiar with the area we were going to. But by the end of the four days, Westfield had brought us together, and that was the founda- tion of the yearbook staff. When the official school season began, the daily 2-5 PM meetings began. The time was divided like this: one part soda, one part screaming, and one part work. Amazing as it may seem, we made our first deadline, the only one this year. Time seemed to drag by at times with repetitive work, and at other times it flew by with laughter and challenges that took a lot of difficulty in meeting. At the moment I'm writing this. I look back and it seems so im- possible that all this time has passed. There are so many crazy memories, but they are all memories I'll treasure. Who could ever forget the February vacation when we ate a different meal everyday — on the floor, or the two nights when we stayed til 8 PfVl, and splurged on Chinese food (Do we have to get Hon Sue Gai?!). I guess these memories seem really weird to an outsider, but you haven't seen any- thing til you've been part of the unique combination that makes up the yearbook staff.

I've been exceedingly lucky to have been blessed with so many caring, competent and gifted teachers. Picking a favorite is impossible. There are those who've been most humorous, most intelligent, and most sensitive. All will be remembered warmly. Liz Caiazzi Mr. Sullivan — although he yelled, he was in- teresting and got his points across. Elaine Roy Dave Kalagher, he's cool even though he dresses badly. Dave Conway Miss Breau, because of the relaxed atmosphere in the class, but also for all of the Spanish I learned or tried to learn. Steve Marshall n Memory Of Erkki Koutonen We associate the Olympic athlete with excellence. We at Fitch- burg High School had the good fortune of having such a man in the person of Erkki Koutonen — compassionate, faithful to his friends, sensitive. He represented all that was good in teaching and coaching. He was a man who stood head and shoulders above the crowd, but he never looked down on anyone. A Fitch- burg High School Scholarship in Erkki's name reads, He was an outstanding, unselfish, tireless teacher of students throughout his fine teaching career. As a coach, he cared for and helped all athletes, not just his own team members. His Outdoor Track Teams won seventy meets and lost nine in twenty-two years. These teams won seven N.C.M.C. Championships and five District Championships. Erkki's 1961 Cross Country won the Class B State Champion- ship. But the score was not important to Erkki: rather it was how many young men he could develop who started as boys. He would offer young athletes fairness and clean competition, and they would only succeed in his eyes if they learned self- discipline. On December 15, 1987, the Fitchburg Community and his many friends lost a completely unselfish, beautiful human being. Fitchburg High School lost one of its finest teacher-coaches. For those of us fortunate enough to have walked in Erkki's large shadow, his memory remains an inspira- tion. 120 Faculty Faculty 121 Custodians George Hyvarinen. working hard to keep our school spotless.

The hard work and long hours of the students are displayed both in the school environment and in various competitions. Despite a lack of funding, there is no shortage of interest in the Arts at F.H.S. Library Perhaps one of the best loved facilities at F.H.S. is the Library. Graciously opening its doors to the vagrants of study halls, morning rap sessions, or last minute cramming, the Library provides a temporary refuge from the sometimes stifling classroom. Staffed by the knowledgeable and amiable Kenneth Rostedt, the Library boasts countless volumes and periodicals ranging from John Milton to the latest Arthur Koykka. Kelly Boudreau thinks of what to draw next. Music Under the stalwart direction of Carlton Thome, the celebrated F.H.S. Band is an organization of tremendous talent and team work. Whether they are featured at a rally or in concert, marching or munching at the annual Spaghetti Supper, this group of musicians and friends is always entertaining. While rehearsals and scheduling are at best demanding, the quality of music at F.H.S. has become as much a treat as a tradition.

In Principal Welch's opening rennarks at the start of the 1986-87 school year, he stressed the positive aspects of F.H.S. And, while this year has seen minor disappointments, for the most part, Mr. Welch's prophetic words were internalized by both faculty and students. So loud were the cheers that even the School Committee and Executive Administration Administration seemed to tak e notice. Within our own building, Mr. Welch and the Vice Principals, Ms. Giaquinto and Mr. Newcombe continue to carry out their own positive policy. Mr. Welch is ever accessible, sincere, and action oriented. Ms. Giaquinto is efficient, organized, and has a wonderful sense of humor that strengthens her effectiveness. And Mr. Newcombe is the wind of authority that can turn stormy but most often is as refreshing as a breeze. Taken as a team, the Administration of F.H.S. has provided us with a model of leadership.

Ironically, the groans associated with the title Social Studies have given this department its supert reputation. From World History to Sociology to American History, the hallmark of a fine Social Studies education is a disturbing thought, a perplexed face or an incomplete essay answer. For the main goal of this vital department is to instill a sense of world and self situation. It is not enough to merely memorize the events leading up to the sinking of the Lusitania; only when a student masters the myriad of human and world complexities constituting a period in time will we truly leam a concept in the social sciences. Mere awareness is not enough. The acquisition of this global awareness may be painful, but this pain is the sure mark of learning and at least an attempt at functioning in a world where the social sciences are requisite for sensitivity, progress and peace.

In a world alive with technology and science, an education in this field is vital to existence. Happily, F.H.S. provides its students with all the tools necessary for survival. Offering a veritible spectrum of courses, the Science Department is staffed by a group of excellent teachers and is serviced by a sophisticated set of laboratories. (Indeed no one knows for sure what lurks in the fourth floor Science Office.) The quality of the sciences at F.H.S. is attributed to the easy interaction of students and teachers. Working together, both have the opportunity to learn from each other. In doing so, students cannot avoid absorbing a knowledge of Biology and Physics. Thus, they can't help becoming more aware of their environment, both on the physical level and in the ecosystem of universal homeostasis. 136 Academics CHARLES GREENE B.S.

Their aim is not only to educate students in a modern or classical discipline, but to increase cultural awareness. The curriculum of the department consists primarily of grammer and usage in the early stages and gradually advances to a level of inthcate translations of prose and poetry. Pronounciation is rigorously stressed, as is sight translation. Whether the author be Camus or Cicero, thorough prepaVation is demanded of and provided for the student. Currently, Spanish, French and Latin are enjoying a four-year course of study and an enormous popularity. Now is a time of rebirth for all languages, particularly Latin, as more and more respect is paid to the culturally exposed and those with an inclination, toward the basics.

The Math Department here makes no excuses for itself — it is staffed by a truly brilliant crew of scholars, friends and entertainers. If ever there was a model of comradery among co-workers this would be the ideal. First and foremost, the members of this team are teachers. Should a class lecture or homework problem confuse a student, he will find any one of the math teachers ready, willing and able to help. Secondly, the department is a unit of friends. It is an alliance for survival rather than for conquering. Thirdly, and perhaps most essentially, what we have here is the greatest assembly of dry wits and comedians ever assembled. Indeed, it is impossible to escape one such class without a laugh, will be even harder leaving our good friends and noble teachers. It 140 Academics CHARLOTTE RUBERTI B.S.

English After 18 years of living with English, would it be unusual to think that one could know enough about the language? The English Department has answered us for four years in resounding hues: not a chance. Through Warriner and Senior English Review, from Swift to Beckett to Eliot, we've seen it all yet only a glimpse. The lessons of these and other authors have spoken to of finite minds and conflicting internal forces. Driven by the energies of a dedicated and experienced staff, the English Department continues to be the backbone of an education at F.H.S. This fact is manifested in that every student must take two semesters of English yearly. To a greater extent, it becomes evident as the Department annually sends out graduates who are literate in the rudiments of the language as well as the universals of humanity.

He has much to offer at our school as many students will soon discover. Among other things, Alph will eat anything tha t doesn't move and then burn it off playing football, weight-lifting, or running track. Alph isn't all business, though. He loves to travel and attend barbecues where he can, of course, eat. At these barbecues, he must sit around and ramble off his favorite quote, You be illin' In his spare time, he listens to Bon Jovi or Belinda Carlisle or he catches Bruce Willis on Moonlighting. He seems to like F.H.S., but he is having a rough time with Algebra. Overall, Ralph enthusiastically states he is, having a wonderful time at F.H.S.!!!

Four years later, all of you have. If you took notes in Physical Science, you learned that the sky is blue, not green, because of a certain wavelength and a certain spectrum Perhaps in your sophomore year you were taught all about sky-metaphors or allusions to celestial aesthetics in English class. Later on in math, maybe in Tng or Physics, you studied angles of rarefraction or quanta mechanics. By this time, you knew everything you needed to about the sky and its place in your universe. Intellectually You also learned about the sky in much more practical, almost mundane ways. You came to define the sky as a mass of nothingness you met face to face with every time you confronted a Leominster linebacker. It was that dome overhead that always seemed to relieve itself whenever you wore white or had a game after-school. Then you began to distinguish the difference between an evening sky and weekend sky — the latter almost always was bloated with stars and goodnight kisses. Little by little, the freshman sky and the senior sky began showing some differences. But it s the same sky. In an extremely roundabout way and without a good Thesis statement, I m trying to tell you that everything you do — every experience, every emotion, every knowledge — every level of existence lends Itself to every other There is no best way to examine a sky because there is no best way to learn, experience or be. For eighteen years you've worked on developing something unique, something individual, something you. It is not the sky that has changed, but rather your perception of it. So too, you. the real, essential you. has not and will not change for the balance of this life. What is vanable is what you do with yourself, how you refuse, abuse or choose yourself. To those who would have us believe in the strength of a unit, especially a class. I offer a prayer. To the rest. I propose that a class is not the sum of the individuals composing it but rather the re- distnbution of individual goals and attitudes, united in purpose, not necessanly method. Finally. I encourage each one of you to be the individuals you are and rely securely upon your own convictions and perceptions of common phenomena Naturally, seek the comfort of a class to which you may belong, but avoid the confines of group thought or general consensus. I wish you a long lifetime of self-discovery and growth. But most of all. I wish you all sunny, blue skies. Yours, Lizard t Senior Class Secretary Jane Baho.

Special Thanks Mr. Bernard Welch Mr. Arnie Lohmann and Mr. Terry Poovey Mr. Steve Forslund and Yearbook Associates Adams Studio and Choice Photography Miss Marianne Dipalma Mr. Bob Delisle Mr. and Mrs. George Baho Miss Rita Mallahy and her English classes Mrs. Beverly Maranda Who would've ever dreamed t:hat; I'd be t:he editor when I first entered room 315 last June! I certainly didn't, so when Shifty told me — I was really surprised, but very pleased. I feel so much richer from my ex- periences, I've gained so much knowledge and so many precious friends. But I know I never would've made it if it weren't for Shifty, he's supported my ideas and helped me out when I had none. Thanks Shifty, and all of you who have helped me reach this point in my life where so little goes wrong, and so much goes right. Luv, Amy Yearbook Credits Faculty Advisor Stephen V.
