RIGHT TURN Advertisements 200 m-CHBURC PUBLfC U AfY vc 1 988 Boulder Fitchburg, Ma Enrollment 939 No Turn On Red! For the third year in a row, students from the yearbook staff attended the annual Hunter Publishing Company yearbook conference. This year four students went — Michelle Haggstrom, Sue Babineau, Kim Troest, and Amy Beauregard. Unlike the previous two years, we were unchaperoned, because Shifty decided to go sailing. So the four of us piled into Kim's car, and her mother rushed us to Westfield. Un- fortunately we were late, and we weren't in the right place at first. We had directed Kim's mother to Scanlon Hall, where we had stayed the previous two years, but this year we were staying at Dickenson Hall. After we got settled, we met with our group leader, who was Arnie Lohmann, FHS's sales representative. The five day stay at Westfield started on Tuesday with an opening meeting, and then a class on theme from 7:30-9:00 PM. Afterwards we were treated to the movie Ruthless People in the Wilson Auditorium. The next few days were packed with courses and lectures on layout and design, theme, fundraising, copy writing, organiza- tion, and ladder diagram. Our classes went until 10 pm, with occasional breaks and an activity at the end of the night. The most ex- citing night was Thursday night, when we participated in a barbecue and Monte Carlo WESTFIELD STA GIFT OF THE CLAE BULOMO KEV m ACAOEMC A0MIM8TMTIVE AMMI HS night. Friday morning mother came to get us. While we were at Westfield, Michelle came up with a theme idea — No Turn on Red. After a suggestion from Judy Allen, a guest speaker for Hunter Publishing, we all decided to change our theme to — Right Turn on Red. — by Amy Beauregard 2 ♦ Theme Worn out from spending four long days at the Year- book seminar.

Yes, because a job teaches a person to be responsible for something other than them- selves and that is important. — Tracy Rameau No, your grades drop and your school work should come first. — Liz Lino Mo, 1 think it s a bad idea. Then kids find they have no time for school work and school ac- tivities. — Tracy Walsh Should students have their own car while in high school? Why? Yes, because it can get you to and from places. — Kerrie Miner Yes, to go out whenever they want. — Karl Pfanzelter Yes, it gives them their freedom and they don't have to ask their parents for rides. — Danielle Holland Is it important to have a boy- friend girlfriend and why? Yes, because it may be for great companionship. — John Richard No, because if you don't you can do what you want, you won't be tied down. — Christina Auger No, because when you do your sport you concentrate on what you're doing and nothing else. — Eva Filice Student Life 4-33 At the Senior Reception to the Faculty, Sue Babineau and Kori Binnall rejoice in their victory following the Tug-of-war. 4 ♦ Student Life tudent Life Kimberly Buck, tired from the day's activities, settles down In Crocker School's playground to enjoy the sunny afternoon. OLUE NORTH ROLES It was a bright and sunny day . . . well, sort of . . . all right, it fxjured! And it poured again . . . and again! We began to get the sneaking suspicion that someone, somewhere was against us! Okay, let's start from the be- ginning! We, the class of 1988, won the right to paint the rock before the class of '87 grad- uated. We obtained this privi- lege by blowing them away in the JrVSr. Relays. But, being the gracious, understanding (and broke!) class that we were, we decided to wait to until after their graduation ceremony. So, on May 31. 1987, (the Sunday after graduation) many newly ordained Seniors eagerly gathered at the Rock, bringing with them rope, brushes, and (ahem!) various liquid refresh- ments. However, we were lacking one crucial ingredient The paint! Finally, the paint arrived, and we immediately set out to leave our mark on Fitchburg (at least temporarily). We worked dili- gently under the blazing sun, painting both the Rock and our- selves, (after all, every proud Senior wants their own col- lection of designer originals from the Rock.) At last, F.H.S. '88 was emblazoned proudly (if crookedly) on the Rock for all of Fitchburg to see, and we all went home to soak in turpen- tine and nurse our aching heads. (Oops!) Unfortunately, our creation did not last long. Under- classmen, as well as previously graduated classes, started changing the Rock's numeral. So the Senior class decided to wait until summer was over in order to save our time and money. Throughout the summer, the Rock was changed many times to bizarre things such as OIlie North Rules and other less printable quotes — ? )! September rolled around, school began, and we reini- On Sept 27th, some members from the class of 88 participated in the paint- ing of the rock; back row (L-R): Paula Bellabarba. Kori Binall.

Once we had col- lected enough money for paint, we set a date and ... it rained. We rescheduled, and ... it rained again! Finally, we managed to pick a day that was only cloudy. That was good enough for us. So, we all trooped up to the Rock, bringing our brushes, paint, and tape. Being experienced by now, we taped out our letters first, and then started working on the Bryan Baxter, Derek Mackie, and Veronica Soils perform their own version of the blind leading the blind' on the rock, (right) Perfectionists, Paula Bellabarba and Joel Laino are totally absorbed in the art of painting, (below) red background. This was def- initely slippery business, es- pecially since we had forgotten all but one rope (which was an- chored around Dave Julku's stomach!). However dan- gerous, work proceeded quickly, since we had left other distractions behind — the Rock was wet, but we were dry! Approximately four hours later, the Rock once again read F.H.S. '88 . Overall it stood strong against the threat of condo developers, nature freaks, and underclassmen. — by Kathy Kolijian and Amy Primeau 6 ♦ Student Life Student Life ♦ 7 ENIOR Rl I h' ■ S( •!

Were we moving in? Mo, the thirteen of us were just going to sfjend the best four hours of our lives changing, matching, and borrowing clothes for a photo session. The formals, which were taken first went along easily even though we were ail nervous. Everyone was eager to pose for the camera and curious as to what position they would be put in next. When the formals were finished we took time out to chow down on pepperoni pizza (compliments of Shifty). After our hunger was satisfied we pulled casual outfits out of the bulging suitcases. It was a lot different from the formals because we didn't take much time to pose. As soon as one shot was taken, Mr. Deslile counted to three and shot again. When everything was finished, we stuffed our clothes and shoes back into our suitcases, taking one last look at the room we modeled in. As we drove away, we were still laughing about the unforgettable time we had. — by Kim Buck (above) During the formal portion of the photo session, six members from the class of 1988 stand all decked out in prom dresses and tuxedos (L'r Kim Potter, Derrick Bennett Kevin Beaulieu.

Student Life OPUS On October 31, 1987, Fitchburg Hi gh School held its homecoming game against Don Bosco. The Homecoming Court arrived at Crocker field on the Opus float. Students who worked on the float were proud to see their float had been finished in time for the game. After the ceremonial photos, the girls in the court changed from their lovely gowns into jeans so that they would be more comfortable. Even though Fitchburg lost the game 13-20, the Homecoming game turned out successful. Everyone was in high spirits, especially since Howie Nosek, the red raider, and the guys in the court started the wave. Also, the guys brightened up the atmosphere by displaying their humor with matching pairs of Grouch-O-Marx glasses.

Student Ufe ♦ 17 THANKSGIVING RALLY To many students around the globe, Wednesday. November 25th was probably just an average day. To the Red and Gray students of FHS. however, this was a day not only to exhibit, but to show off their school spirit. As the students stormed into the auditorium early that morning, they were greeted with red and gray streamers, balloons, and other para- phernalia, as well as the FHS Marching Band, playing modern tunes such as La Bamba and Louie, Louie . To get things started, the Red Raider Varsity Cheerleaders psyched up the crowd with a few of their favorite cheers. The J.V. Cheerleaders then followed with their tribute to the football players with their Football Rap. Finally, it was the mo- ment we were all waiting for, the presentation of the skits. The student body becomes rowdy when Howie Nosek, the FHS red raider, leaps onto the stage. 18 ♦ Student Ufe The Senior skit was of particular interest. Everyone, including the Seniors themselves, could not wait to see what they would actually do. For, not only did they delay until the very last week, but almost until the night before the rally. Yet, with many thanks to the starring perform- ance of our beloved church lady and the quick thinking of other cast members, the Senior presentation of Church Chat was quite a suc- (left) Regardless of the insufficient sound system, the Varsity Cheerleaders are still able to p erform their dance routine with skill and accuracy, (below) Senior band member, Chris Tree, pounds out the notes of La Bamba ' on her trombone. cess. Soon after, the Juniors zapped us off to outer space in their ver- sion of Star Trek, while the Freshmen class took us back in time to our Mr. Rogers days. A special commendation, moreover, must be given to the Sophomore interpretation of dancing fruit, We Heard It Through The Grapevine . Last, but definitely not least, came the great appearance of Johnny Most with a prediction of the 104th meeting of the cross-town rivalries. Furthermore, to conclude the rally, a few words were said by Coach Romano about the game as well as each and every individual player. Lastly, in order to end a perfect rally in the most perfect way, students, faculty, and friends all joined in together in a chorus of our beloved Alma-Mater. — by Amy Brideau (left) Kim McCoy's radiance shines through as she and the other Varsity Cheerleaders urge the football team on.

Student Ufe ♦ 21 FUN AND FISHES GALORE On Movember 27, 1987, the traditional Thanksgiving semi-formal was held. This year, however, there was a break in tradition, and the dance was moved from the school cafe- teria to the Eastwood Club. The change of venue seemed to have a positive effect on the dance. It was attended by about 200 people who packed the dance floor all through the night Each class was well represented at the Sadie Hawkin s dance. The Seniors set the mood for fun with a food fight Fish and pretzels were flying through the air until the ammunition (luckily) ran out The girls calmly picked If™' the pretzel bits out of their hair and dragged their de- linquent dates back to the dance floor. The fun con- tinued uninterrupted until eleven o clock rolled around and everyone headed for Singapore. Fortunately all food fights were avoided and everyone enjoyed their meal. Once again the Thanksgiving Dance proved to be an enjoyable evening for all. — by Kathy Koljian and Amy Primeau r Chad Adams.

Student Life ♦ 27 FALL AWARDS BANQGET Although there are two fall sport awards banquets, (one for the football team and one for the cross-country, soccer and field hockey teams), they share many of the same emotions, the ex- citement on the part of those receiving awards and the empti- ness felt by the seniors as they realize the final season is over. At the same time, these banquets are very different. The foot- ball banquet, held at the St. Bernards Activity Center, honored two F.H.S. Alumni: Clarence and Norman May. These men starred in three or four sports in the 40's and have continued their support up to date. Each year special awards such as the Martinez Award, Todd Becker Award, James Meredith and the St. Germain Award are given to outstanding athletes. While J.V. and Freshmen players receive M.V.P. (offensive and defensive) and coaches award. Cheerleading awards were given to the most spirited, most im- proved and M.V.P.'s. On the other hand, the other banquet is more humorous. Coach Ambrose played his usual stand up comedian act. While taking place of the absent soccer coach, Mr. Worthley found difficulty in announcing some of the soccer players names and the field hockey team remembered their one and only win. Coaches Awards, unsung hero, M.V.P. (offensive and defen- sive), most improved and a bird watchers award (given to an outstanding Freshmen harrier) were given to these fine athletes. In each of these banquets a dinner is served and the cer- emonies are under way after the meal. After the coaches rem- inisce on the good and not so good times, each Senior is given a letter jacket displaying their outstanding efforts. — by Kim Troest and Eva Filice Junior Varsity Cheerleading Award Winners: Tobi Root — Most Valuable Player.

At the end of her Sophomore year she joined yearbook, and by December she knew almost everything she needed to know as a FHS yeartxxjk editor — especially the combination to the soda machine. Yeartxxik has been the basis of her high school career, so it s no wonder that she lists Hon Sue Gai as her favorite memory, and Shifty as the greatest influence on the last two years she spent at FHS. Although she does admit to letting a tot of her life revolve around yearbook, she also tned to im- prove her academic career dunng her last year be- cause of the strong desire to attend a good college.

Clubs Activities ♦ 101 WINNIE THE POOH After the success of last year's children s show, Ms. Gallo and the Seniors decided to follow the trend. The musical play chosen this year was Winnie the Pooh. Try-outs were held . . . the cast was chosen . . . rehearsals began. The cast consisted of many new faces as well as some familiar ones from the competitive plays. None of us realized just how much work we had ahead of us. We not only had our blocking and lines to learn, we had to leam songs and most importantJy, to work together. After searching high and low. we finally managed to find a piano player. Instead of an adult we had a member of the Senior class, Christine Tree, which made it a little more special. We rehearsed for weeks on the basics but spent quite a bit of time doing other things: getting measured for cos- tumes, creating our own costumes where necessary, painting the infa- mous blocks for our tree ', getting the props we needed, and most of all — having fun. Finally it was time: Opening night! In just a few short months we had all become the famous ani- mals we once loved as kids. Thurs- day went well but come Friday. Pooh Bear had no voice. But as the old saying goes — the show must go on; and it did. It wasn't over yet though. We still had four more performances the following week for the area's ele- mentary schools. Seeing the looks on the littJe kids faces was inde- scribable. Each performance was special in its own way. We ended the shows by giving out lollipops. Ail of us got a chance to meet the kids, shake their hands, hug them, and even sing Christmas carols Chris Cotnoir portrays Christopher Robin In the Senior Class Play Winnie the Pooh .

It became just as much a leat for us as it was for them. The curtain opened for that final performance and it was time to say good-bye to Winnie the Pooh. A feeling of relief came over us but more so a feeling of sadness. It was over! It was really over! To be honest, it will never be over.

As the flowers begin to slither out from beneath the soil, the young aspiring actors and actresses juggle their sched- ules to include the play as well as spring sports. The joy that comes from involve- ment in Competitive Plays is the sense of competition as well as drama. It's the chance to express yourself as an- other person, a totally dif- ferent character. It s the op- portunity to work together as a class to produce the best play. There's a special feel- ing that blooms inside as a result of the blending glare of the lights, the reaction of the audience, and the overa sense of accomplishment. As each class works to perfect their play, there's the plotting of the cast members to get to the auditorium di- rectly after school. That way your class can have first re- hearsal.

Our time. We came with fire in our eyes and determination in our hearts. Double sessions began and with them came the hope that this would be a year of remembr- ance for all of us. Everyday for a week and a half we worked and struggled. Then came the scrimmages against Marlboro and Nahoba. Our bodies and minds had been fired with sweat and pain and it was time to test the metal we had forged. When it came time to weld it we could cut and thrust like no other team and we entered the regular season with excitement and optimism. We opened our season with the Oak- mont Spartans. The night before the game was filled with intense anticipation and an- xieties. We couldn't wait for the game to start and you could feel it in the air the next morning. We ran out onto the field fasten- ing our helmets looking like the modern day gladiators that we were. We were chal- lenged and over came it with a win. We were confident going into the St. Peter Marian game. The Guardians proved to be tougher than expected and bravely played us through the whole game. Their unexpected abilities did not affect the out- come of the games as we rose above our- selves and captured another victory. The Mountaineers were ready to play and provided the opportunity for us to witness this. We pushed each other over the white lines of the field to no avail. Finally in the end we came up with a powerful surge and left the field with another victory. Winning these games put us on top of the world and secure forever the fact that we were here to play. Then fate struck and we were slipped our first defeat by a local rival. SL Bernard's came into the game wanting revenge for their previous week s loss. We came into the game wanting blood after waiting for the chance to avenge our defeat at their hands a year earlier. The game was long and hard and full of emotion and rivalry. We faced Holy Mame the follov ng week. 1 Infuriated and seeking vengeance, we threw our bodies headlong into the Naps who felt the sting of the powerful blows. This was a victory. For we had faced a phys- ically bigger team and came within a step of walking away victoriously. A powerful display of our hard hitting style downed St John's. Again we hurled ourselves at our enemy needless of our bodies objections. We brought home a long awaited victory from Pioneer Field ending a three year drought Homecoming brought celebration and Don Bosco brought defeat They came at us from all sides. We fought and scraped in a pumped-up skull cracking game. Our time was waning but our desire was still strong. Bedford attacked and so did we. They were a well rounded team and we played above ourselves that day. When the Raiders' final hit resounded at the field, Bedford had won.

The Scarlet Hawks won the game but we met the challenge. Along the way many players were lost Some in scrimmages. Some before the season was even begun and some in games. Those that had the chance to play did so courageously. They will not be for- gotten. Throughout the season we promised ourselves that no matter what happened we would play our hardest and to the fullest of our capabilities. During the season we took no prisoners. We asked no quarter and gave none.

The F.H.S.-L.H.S. game this year was a tough, big play spect- acle. Sure it was muddy but it was football at its best Leominster had to come up with a gutsy 3rd quarter TD to pull ahead of a deter- mined Red Raider team and go on to a 20-6 win. The drive, the TD. the 2 point conver- sion and the subsequent defensive series was keyed by Jr. Brian Picucci. Fitchburg took a 6-0 lead in the 1 st quar- ter with a tough defense that pinned the Blue Devils in their own end of the field. The Raiders threw Leominster out of its offens- ive rhythm and kept the Devils from getting organized to mount any kind of drive. When the snap of a punt attempt squirted awry, Bubba Caron. Steve Deadwyler and Chad Adams pounced on kicker Keith Collette to give the Raiders the ball at the Devil 29. Fitchburg ran Caron up the middle and Collins through the tackle slots without much success but a fumble turned to the Raiders' advantage. A piling on penalty brought the ball to the 1 5 yard line. Quarter- back Mark Pierce found Derrick Bennett in the end zone. The senior wide-out made a great diving catch for the score. The kick failed. Leominster came right back and only a goal-line stand by the defense kept the De- vils out of the end zone. As the Raiders keyed on John Caouette, the Devils drove deep into F.H.S. territory only to be turned away on a tough 4th and inches call. In the second half of the ball game Leo- minsters depth proved to be too much for the much undermanned Raiders as Leo- minster pushed the ball up field with two fine runs by the Caouette brothers. Despite the loss and the final score Fitchburg and Leominster gave the fans a True Classic contest. Big Daddy looks for a hole to run through. The captains wait the flip of the coin patiently. 134 ♦ Sports With 3;26 in the 1st quarter F.H.S. fans have some- thing to cheer about (left) Chris Tooley puts a foot into the kick off.

For some of us. it's our last But this past season was a lot of fun and definitely our most successful. We were finally re- cognized as a sport and issued warm-up suits by the school. And through the sale of key chains and car wash tickets, we were able to purchase jackets to wear at those chilly games. We looked sharp and felt good too. As a result of our annual trip to cheering camp, we learned many new stunts that we perfected throughout the season. But those days of practice towards per- fection were long and painful. The bases learned to live with torn and bleeding knees, with the help of taping up beforehand. And the top people overcame their fear of being airborne, after a few misses and hard land- ings. We had a few accidents where people's faces met other people's faces quite often. But no pain, no gain.

Sports ♦ 143 BOYS' CROSS-COCJNTRY ENJOY OUTSTANDING SEASON For most cross-country teams, to go eighth in the Districts to fourth in the States in only one year, would only be a dream. However, that dream became a reality for the 1987 cross-country team. The team was hit hard due to graduation, losing two of its top runners in Doug Gastonguay and Joey Latimer. But St John's transfers Mike and Tim Trainor more than picked up the slack, and Freshman Jamie Cascio and Juniors Ray Boutotte and Dave Beaulac were pleasant surprises. The season started off bleak, as Mike Trainor suffered a serious injury to his right foot and Wachusett couldn't run on the day scheduled. This meant the first race wouldn't be until September 22 against St Bernard's. The St Bemard's race came and along with it torrential rains. Through puddles and mud. the powerful Red Raiders glided to an easy victory. The Raiders next big test came against three-time defending District Champion St John s. In a close race, the Raiders pulled it out with a heroic effort from Senior Angel Santiago. With flaring determination. Santiago ran his best race of the year, as the Raiders celebrated their hard fought vic- tory. The season quickly moved along. As the end of October neared. two obstacles stood in the way: the Wachusett Invitational and the C.M.C. Championships. In the In- vitational, a gutsy performance by Dave Gagne. who was tripped at the start picked himself up and still managed to place fifteenth, led the Raiders to a first place fin- ish. This was the first Wachusett Invitational Championship won by Fitchburg since 1 979. In the QJA.Q. Championship, the Red Raiders were crowned C-M.C. champs with a relatively easy victory over the rest of the conference. Here.

When Movember 14th came, so did the District E division one race. The Red Raiders boarded the bus knowing they were the favorites to become District Cham- pions, and that if they won, it would be the first District Championship for Fitchburg in its history. However, it wasn't to be. Changing the course from the golf course to the highway favored the underdogs. At the 2.8 mile mark the Raiders had six people packed in the top ten. But, although tremendous races were turned in by Cormier and Mike and Tim Trainor, the Raiders had to settle for second place. Ash Awad and Dave Gagne faltered at the end, losing key places and despairingly watching two St. John's runners pass them to clinch their fourth consecutive District Championship. It just didn't seem fair, to end a season this way. Craig Cormier pushes himself off the pavement as he heads for the finish line. Sports ♦ 145 THE ART OF SQUIRREL CHASING j « Kw h,„g,o„«esin,oe„fi„ish„m, The 1987 girls' cross-country team had more than their share of problems catching those little gray creatures. This season started out with a splash, and I do mean splash! We were all hop- ing for our first victory against cross town rival St Bernard's. Little did we know that a passing thunderstorm would drench us before we had ever begun to run. The course was filled with puddles (or should we say lakes), and we came up with a disappointing loss. Who could ever forget that some of us had a little bit of trouble finding their way to the finish line (Eva, Sue, and Veronica), never mind jumping and hurdling over puddles at the same time. After drying our- selves off. we could only hope that things would get better, but would they? Shrewsbury was next. We hadn't beaten them in years. But we trained hard, listening to our coach, hoping to keep it a close contest One could at least hope it wouldn't rain again. Defeat fell upon us again, but it did not rain. As we looked ahead to Wachusett we were craving for a victory. Keep- ing our heads high, we chased those squirrels, but as it turned out Wachusett chased them faster. We finally got a taste of victory over Notre Dame Academy, even though we weren't in the spotJight after the boys beat St John's. It did not matter though, we won! Our team was im- mensely helped by Shanni Laaksonen and two Freshmen. Kim Walsh and Kim Thomas, all running in front of the pack. Progressing along our next two meets were victories against St Peters and Gardner. The Gardner meet is one we will never forget we won even without two of our front runners.

Field Hockey teams didn't end the season with the most outstanding records, both J.V. and Varsity have a great deal to be proud of. The close of the summer of 1 987 brought many new faces and a wide variety of talent to the Memorial Jr. High School field. Spirits were soaring and the desire to win hung over- head in the air. New sweat suits and new sticks replaced the old battered ones and a sense of self-confidence replaced last years'. As the season ticked away, their spirits began to wane. But with an immense amount of determination and a nagging coach, both teams gave it their all. They worked hard at every game. On November 2, 1 987, this long, hard season was brought to a dramatic closing. To many of the players it was just the end of another sea- son, but to six Seniors it marked the end of their career in F.H.S. Field Hockey. It was a season of hard work and many good mem- ories. No one can ever forget the spit-ball wars. Barb's bribes, or even the infamous game against the Boys' Varsity Cross- country team. (Of course they cheated!!) Moreover, who can forget the coaches ob- session with running? But no matter if the F.H.S. Field Hockey Teams were running up and down the field, playing in a game, or pushing balls across the fields with their noses, they definitely excelled in their deter- mination, commitment, and pride for the good ole 'Red and Gray! — by Amy Brideau Lisa Guertin rushes forward in order to retrieve the ba 148 ♦ Sports A dazed Sherrie Newcombe stands with Junior Varsity player Fe Fandreyer before the field hockey game be- gins.

Almost the whole team was brand new and inexperienced. There were various injuries but the team still had a drive to succeed. At the last game we realized that although we did not win any games, the team learned how to play field hockey. We also learned teamwork, a sense of responsibility, and friendship. Field hockey was hard work, but when the team gets that goal in '88, everybody will get it We had a lot of fun and made a lot of new friends. — by Kathy Tree Kneeling (l r) Oudam Thipphavong, Becky Berry.

Sports ♦ 151 SOCCER When the team starts practicing way back in August, one really doesn t know what they're gettirjg into. There is a lot of hard work and hot days before the cool days of September and October roll around. To say there is a lot of running in- volved would be an understatement. Runn- ing 2-3 miles a day, and sometimes close to seven, one would think we were the cross- country team. But what we really were, was in very good shape. And to play soccer one must be able to run for a long time. To do all of this work and prepare so hard one would think that we would not have fun, especially since we did not win many games. This was not the case. 1 have played on many winn- ing teams but few of them matched the fun 1 had this year. This year 1 learned how to play the game, and I also learned that it was a tough game to play but playing for Coach Aristequi was also very fun. The bottom line is win. lose, or draw, we always had fun. This year the team's record was not very good. But I think we learned to play the game, have fun doing it, and most of all we learned as a team to love the game. — by Bryan Baxter Marisa Filice one of the female soccer players prac- tices her goal kicks.

This year's Fitchburg High Team may re- present Doug Grutchfield's greatest coach- ing job in a storied 27-year career. Asked to characterize this season, one in which Fit- chburg won an astounding District E, Div- ision 1 title, the 49-year old coach came out with the title of a movie: Against All Odds. Coming into this season, the Red Raiders had an unproven 6'5 center and no other starter standing above 6 feet. They had lost Norbert Pickett, the school s all-time lead- ing scorer, to graduation. Returning were fine shooting guard Derrick Bennett and forward Mike Goodchild, a scrappy but sometimes erratic point guard in Mick Pappas, and guard Mike Trainor, who played some junior varsity the previous sea- son. Many people had gloomy predictions for F.H.S. this season. Well, we all know what happened. The Red Raiders posted an 1 8-2 regular season record, defeated Marlboro, Wachusett, and Milford in the playoffs to win the district title, and then fell to Chicopee Comp. in the state semifinals. Characteristic of Grutchfield's teams, the Red Raiders came to play every night this season, with the exception of a game late in the schedule against Marlboro, in which they were blown out by 31 points. The game was played two days after an emo- tional game against St John's, and it was a combination of the Raiders' being drained and Marlboro playing well. Three weeks later the Raiders found themselves facing those same Panthers in the first round of the District playoffs. This time the result was an effective job done by the defense and a well deserved overtime victory. 1 am really proud of what these kids have Michael Goodchild shoots the ■3 while Mike Trainor looks on. 4 accomplished, Grutchfield said. I think because we've been successful people tend to take a lot for granted. A good ex- ample is this year's team with the kids we had with the lack of size. To be 21-3 is an amazing accomplishment. I just hope that people appreciate what these kids and all of the kids over the years have done. Nicky Pappas guards his opponent in the district game against Milford.

Girls' Varsity Basketball Team had a very competitive season this year. Faced with such perennial powers as SL Peter-Marian, Wachusett, Marlboro, Holy Name, and Leominster, the girls had one of the toughest schedules in the state. Since the tallest player was only 5 '7 , the team had to rely on its quickness and speed, and its relentless full-court press to wear down opponents. The girls' final re- cord of 9-1 1 was not indicative of the hard work and dedication that was present throughout the season. The girls also took many of the tough teams right down to the final seconds of the game, and made their presence known on the court. Head Coach Tony Alario often received compliments from opposing coaches on the work ethic and perserverance of his players. As the perfect finale to a hard fought season, the team beat District-bound Holy Name in the last game of the year. The team was led by Senior Co-Captains Laura Deacon, Jenney Houle, and Marni Kirousis. Laura, whose three-point shot was well-known throughout the C.M.C. League, provided a lot of the team's outside shoot- ing, and also won the Best Defense Award. Jenney, the recipient of the Most Improved Player Award and a C.M.C. Honorable Men- tion All-Star, used her excellent inside moves to score against much taller op- ponents. Marni, the team's point guard, who was very successful in breaking other team's presses and provided excellent floor leadership, was also a C.M.C. Honorable Mention All-Star and won the Coach s Award. Megan Stephens, a very talented junior, provided the team with a big scoring punch.

Sophomore starter Paula Goodchild was the team's leading reboun- der, and also provided outside scoring. Paula could also be relied on to help out at the point guard position. Junior Marcie Noqueira finished the season very strongly. Her picture-perfect jumpshot gave the team another dimension in outside scor- ing, and her quickness on defense resulted in many turnovers. Sophomore Deanna Baxter also finished the season strongly. Deanna, who played both forward and cen- ter, came off the bench in many close games to help the team with her rebound- ing and inside moves. Junior Cristi Zimiro- wski used her excellent quickness and def- ensive moves to cause many turnovers on the press, and her three-point shot helped Marcie Nogueria anxiously awaits the pass in a game at the Fitchburg High Gym.

All courses are offered for four years and are a fun part of the day to most of us. The staff, Ms. Breau, Dr. Chake- mian. Dr. Osteroth, Mrs. Pel- tola, and Miss Reynolds, are the brains behind the depart- ment; always thinking up new ways to teach their sacred language. The for- eign language teachers of F.H.S. are clearly doing a good job. They overcome the challenge of having to teach the most unlikely students a new language and many have succeeded in their goals. Anyone that can do that, has literally per- formed miracles. — by Elizabeth Lino Faculty ♦ 189 Ronald Berthiaume B.S. ED, Fitchburg State College; M.S. ED, Fitchburg State College.

Fitchburg State College; Boston College, Worchester State College. Algebra I and II and Geometry. The students' version of how a pre-algebra class really is. MATH DEPARTMENT Are we ever going to need this in our lives? , is a favorite quote in the math department Whether dealing with the Law of Sines or the definition of a limit, these questions are a must But each and every time these questions are proposed, this crew of dry-wits are able to come up with a completely dif- ferent response. In the class- room or out, this group of bril- liant scholars and entertainers are always willing to help. As teachers first, they are willing to help clarify, or rather increase, your massive confusion. If sim- ilar triangles or the addition of fractions loses you totally, one will easily fine one of the math teachers willing to help. If per- haps you're even beyond help, they are usually pretty good at cheering you up. Secondly, they are our friends. So, when just plain survival is all that one wants, one won't have to look very far for a life jacket Lastly, they are the greatest display of comedians ever assembled. One usually finds it hard to es- cape just one math class without even a snicker. Before long even the most devastated student will be able to answer with a positive response to our favorite bumper sticker, Are we having fun yet? — by Amy Brideau Arthur Newcombe B.S.

ENGLISH DEPARTMENT English is a subject that everyone thinks he or she has mastered by now, but the En- glish teachers have a different point of view. The English de- partment has it's hands full with trying to teach the students the fundamentals of grammar, Shakespeare, Dickens, and other parts of our language. This department is the back- bone of the school. Where else can we get a book report assignment that's due a week after it s been mentioned. Or how about the fascinating novels we are required to read, Old Man and the Sea, Wuther- ing Heights, Hamlet, and Fare- well to Arms. However, English prepares us for college, PSAT's, SAT's and perhaps for life itself. — by Elizabeth Lino Jane McCarthy BA English, University of Massachusetts; Salem State College. Fr. and Soph.

Faculty ♦ 193 BUSINESS DEPARTMENT We all have some goal we wish to achieve in life and this proves to be especially true for those of us who wish to pursue a career in the world of business. When students graduate from high school they lose the security of always having a second chance and that is why Fitch- burg High has an outstand- ing business department to aid them in their future careers. Students not only learn typing and keyboard- ing but many other business practices, such as office practice, word processing, stenography, accounting, record keeping, basic busi- ness, and many others.The thrill of the business world can be of great nature, and with experience and knowl- edge toward one's job, it un- locks many doors with the key of success. The business department may prepare students for the business world but it could not be pos- sible without the help and endurance of the teachers. They may seem a bit tough at first but they are always there to help, and the reward is tremendous. With the skills and experience gained, there is no telling how much one can accomplish. The opportunities are all around and the possibilities of high achievements are endless, but once again you must need a small taste of what the business world is all about and what it has to offer. — by Maria Lino Mary Blomquist B.S., Salem State College; M.

Faculty ♦ 195 Mr. Tiernan lecturing to his enthusiastic class on the fascinating topic of law. SOCIAL STUDIES DEPARTMENT The social studies depart- ment at F.H.S. has an excel- lent reputation. Some students may flinch at the sight of a world map or a his- tory book but to others it is an adventure and op- portunity to travel back in time and around the world in 45 minutes. Its courses in- clude World History, Socio- logy, and U.S. History. It s more then just opening up a book and memorizing it word for word and taking notes until you've rewritten the book. No, social studies is a chance to learn from others mistakes and tri- umphs, and also a chance to gain a better understanding of people in history who con- tributed something. This course, though, would not be what it is today if it were not for the teachers, who are both fun-loving and excel- lent educators. They are the ones who encourage stu- dents to learn and use methods of teaching that students like and adapt to easily. — by Elizabeth Lino Joan Milbury B.S. ED. Fitchburg State College: M. ED.

EDITOR'S NOTE It's been two years now since I've joined this group that is devoted to the production of a yearbook. 1 have many mem- ories, some fond, some bitter. There are some very impor- tant people who have influenced me, and encouraged me when 1 was ready to give up. Without them, 1 wouldn't be here. At the top of my list is Shifty ... He kept me going, and let me know that my efforts were important and necessary. Thanx Shift, 1 wouldn't have made it without you. And to those who cared, I mean really cared, this book's for you.
