Oracle '83 Vol. 79 Gloversville High School Extension Lincoln Street Gloversville, N.Y. 12078 Our Rock! One of Gloversville High School's most unique activities is rock painting. Rock painting is a long- established tradition at G.H.S.. It takes four years to become a skilled rock artist, and during these four years, everyone goes through several basic phases. The incoming freshman rarely takes notice of The Rock. To him, it's just an ordinary rock with nothing special about it. Little does he realize that this mass of stone is a Vay to express thoughts, feelings, and even announcements. But by his sophomore year he is aware of this, and eagerly claims his piece of the rock. As a junior, he im- proves his rock painting skill, preparing for the responsibility of being a senior rock-painter. Through the years, each student gains a certain affection for our Rock. Seldomly abused, most rock-painters refrain from using obscene lan- guage or graphics. They do use The Rock to state who they are and what they're about. Although sometimes done in jest, all rock paintings come about from a certain amount of serious planning. Who's going to help?

When should we paint it to assure that it will not be repainted before morning? What will we paint? Painting The Rock is a most expressive form of art. Regardless of how artistic the craftsmanship is, it still carries its message to all climbing the hill to G.H.S. Maybe that's why so many participate in this activity. Everyone has a chance to take a stand. Our pride and spirit show constantly on The Rock. Although the messages are never perma- nent, the symbol of our presence is. The Oracle '83 staff feels our Rock deserves some recognition. We have decided to honor The Rock this year-honoring also the spirit it repre- sents.

Identifying Unerclassmen What's the difference between a freshman and a sophomore? Between a sophomore and a ju- nior? A year, some might say. Others don't know. Actually, besides a year, there are other important characteristics. Consider the freshman, the easiest student to recognize. Looking somewhat like E.T. , the freshman has big, bulging eyes that never shut, a long neck that never stops rotating from side to side, and slippery hands that books continually fall from. It's no wonder he looks like this; no fresh- man wants to look uncool by carrying around a map. So he perks up his eyes and his neck and becomes vulnerable to the learned underclass- man who tells him that the gym is on the third floor. Now, the sophomore is a bit tougher to spot. No longer the youngest of the school, he is like the middle child of a family-not too heavily pam- pered or too heavily stressed into leadership. His eyes, now no longer too enthusiatic about the hallways and classrooms of G.H.S., look forward to the coming months and years and to the viscera of the Drosophila melanogaster. The junior is by far the most optimistic of the underclassmen. With a Prom to look forward to, the junior's eyes seem to dance and he walks through the halls observing everyone, as though wondering who his (or her, of course) prom date will be. The junior never refers to his time left at G.H.S. as two more years, but a year after this year we'll be seniors! And being a senior-well, that's the best there can be.

I feel very proud to have been part of establish- ing this great tradition. In my fifteen years of teach- ing, I have seen many different designs and logos appear on the rock. Johnstown even gets into the act every so often, like the year they tarred and feathered our beloved piece of granite. Some of the pieces of artistry done by our students have shown painstaking effort while other attempts have been done rather hurriedly. I do feel that it's a shame when some of the designs, which have obviously taken the art- ists a lot of time and effort to prepare, are painted over so quickly. However, whether a fancy design (original or using a stencil) or a plain old Class of —it's the spirit that counts. I hope that spirit lives on for a long time at G.H.S..

SOLID Color after color, layer after layer, the Rock becomes more solid, not only beneath coats of paint, but in tradition itself. We have seen and heard students' feelings toward the rock but have you ever wondered how the teachers feel about the rock, and the custom of paint- ing it? Suprisingly, all of the com- ments this roving reporter re- ceived were positive. Mr. Ri- venburg stated that he loves it and says, it's a great way for kids to vent their feelings and release their frustrations. He also said that it's good, clean fun as long as it's not deroga- tory, and it's better than paint- ing the school. Mr. Holmlund, being a little more concise, said I like it. All of the teachers agreed that it was a symbol of the school. Some even went as far as saying it was our mascot- more popular than the Husky or Dragon. Mr. Peterson compared it to Prudential, having security by getting a piece of the rock And in the words of Mr. Col- lins, Not everyone can be a jock, but everyone can paint the rock. If you ever wondered about the faculty's feelings towards the Rock-now you know. The Rock has their seal of approval. Left: Mr. Rivenburgh seeks a quiet mo- ment on the C.H.S. campus.

When it comes to video games, I am as much an active participant as anyone. Like millions of video game players, I plug my quarters into machines, hoping to zap an enemy, defend a spaceship, or save a city. The win or lose challenge makes the games so inviting. The game makers want them to beat their players often, yet be challenging enough to make them come back for more. And people do come back. Americans spend five to seven billion dollars and six million hours in the arcades. Pac Man and its spinoffs seem to be the current game favorites. Pac Man's popularity has resulted in tee-shirts, how-to books, a top 40 song, and even a cartoon show. In second place is Donkey Kong- rising quickly to the top spot. It isn't even necessary to visit an arcade to blast away at Space Invaders. Anyone can play at home with Atari, Intellivision, or Cole- covision. At present, only about 8.5% of Americans have home video games, but the industry predicts that by 1985 the figure will be up to 50%. Playing video games isn't without its risks. Many have become afflicted with Space Invaders wrist, Pac Man thumb, or related ail- ments. Adults and children alike have had heart attacks from stress- ful game-playing. There is also the question of too much radiation exposure from sitting too close to the television when playing home video games. The games will probably be around for a long time, howev- er, because they are fun. As one player put it: “Once you start, it's almost impossible to stop. Top: Shop downtown Gloversville!

Coaches define it as dedication, hard work, and plain old guts. The students of G.H.S. define it as time consuming, hard work, but overall, fun! Sometimes the attitude of a person trying out for a sport is deter- mined by the idea of the thrill of victory. But there is much more involved with sports than the mere thought of winning. Sports involve actual physical and mental conditioning as well as endur- ance, confidence, and of course, team spirit. From the 2:48 bell until late into the evening, all the different teams are practicing for the chance to show the abilities that they have worked so hard to achieve. But, along with the hard work, the athletes, at one time or another, do experience the thrill of good work, hard effort, as well as making new friends during the season. Success can be measured in many ways. Perhaps the best way was said by John Wooden, a basketball coach. He said, Success is a peace of mind which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you did your best to become the best that you are capable of becoming. Top Right: The three stooges.

Most of us know, they're the names of a few of the many active clubs at G.H.S.. Not only clubs and sports, but also such things as after-school jobs, going to concerts, and attending keg parties comprise the meaning of Student Life. It's time to un- wind, relax, and have a mega- good time. This year because the Oracle has chosen The Rock as their theme, new activities emerged and made The Rock a greater focal point. The christening of The Rock with a bottle of champagne and a pep rally were included in activities which took place at G.H.S.'s unique piece of property and spirit-builder. Living up to tra- dition, The Rock was painted many times this year by various spirited sports teams, classes, and clubs. Whether you're one who, at 2:48 p.m., heads for the nearest Golden Arches, participates in sports, or attends meetings, you're an essential part of Stu- dent Life. OPEN ARMS .... JUNE 5, Anthony Cerasia and Laurie Gentile enjoy each other's company apart from the crowd. Prom fever begins around April and the excitement builds as the prom draws nearer. Cou- ples decides what colors they will wear. Prom night is picture night too, since everyone looks so terrific; and, of course, part of the fun is going to parties all night and out to breakfast at dawn. On Saturday, June 5, 1982, the Junior class of '83 held their prom at the Poplar's Restau- rant. Three years of planning were rewarded with a lot of fun and excitement. The theme song was Open Arms by Journey, and the colors light blue and white. Music was pro- vided by the Smythe Brothers, whose beat kept the class danc- ing all night inside instead of on the terrace, since it was a rainy night. But the rain didn't stop anyone from having a good time. After dinner, came the even- ing's highlight-the crowning of the King and Queen. Kurt Shoblom and Stacy Salino were the lucky couple chosen, and they have the following to say about the prom: This is one night I will never forget, said King Kurt. Early morning is one of the best parts of the whole night-everyone's half asleep and starts saying stupid things. If you get the chance- go-you won't be sorry. Queen Stacy remembers, I had a great time. Towards the middle of the night people for- got about the rain and the ner- vousness was gone. The prom was one of the most memora- ble nights of my life. Others attending remember: Great band! (Valerie Smith), Changing back into my jeans! (Jodene Dresch), and Stealing as many glasses as possible. (John Phillips) As you can see, the class of '83 remembers prom night well. Looking back on prom night has its special memories. That night and the moments shared by the class of '83 will never be forgotten. 1982 It's tough to dance and talk at the same time-as witnessed by John Hanifan and Kelly Jo Edick.

ON TOP OF THE ROCK People have many reactions towards being a Senior. Some feel no change from their first three high school years, while some suddenly exper- ience a great feeling of superiority. Some say they have no feeling, remarking that it is hard to stay enthusiastic after four years, but most feel this should be their best year of all. The majority of Seniors feel they should leave their mark, reflect- ing their supremacy and feeling of being number one. Combined with the good feelings, there is also a feeling of regret about the end of the high school years. Some want to have a good time in their Senior year but have to look ahead to college. It can be a good feeling to leave C.H.S. behind, but its often sad at the thought of leaving behind so many friends. Reflections of the past combine with concern for the future. For some there is pressure in the transition from high school to a future of work. The process of entering a new stage of life has begun for Seniors. After high school, a person is forced to become an independent, integral part of society. Above Top; Miss Lewis, Senior class Adviser. Left; Senior class officers at the top!

And what better way to say it than to paint it on the rock with your friends. Bruce Trombley, Rae Ann Smith and Sherry Siegfried want everyone to know, they're proud to be Seniors! 17 JOHN ALBERTINE JR. ALBO J.V. Bowling 2; Oracle 3, 4, Senior Ed.; 1.

Dashing through the snow, 130 seniors spread good will and cheer throughout the area in De- cember personifying G.H.S.'s Santa Project . Seniors par- ticipating, in appropriate cos- tume, took a day off from school and in two groups went caroling, jingling and giving candy away through the halls of the Gloversville elementary schools, the Extended Care Fa- cility, Littauer Hospital, the Ful- ton County Infirmary, the Get- man Home, and the Bleeker Street Nursing Home. After lunch at Burger King, Ro- mano's, Pizza Hut, or Mac Don- ald's, both groups paid a sur- prise, unscheduled visit to Johnstown High School, again spreading good cheer. Many of the children were very excited at being visited by real elves! The two Santas, Bruce Barkevich and John Bro- derick, delighted all the chil- dren and adults as well. A good day was had by all, which pro- vided a fine start to the holiday season. Santa's helpers: J. Michaud, M. Morgan, V. Smith, D. Ashe, B. Boroson, and J. Steele and some elementary students pose together for a holiday picture. The elves: R. Blodgett, S. Ochampaugh and P. McCure invade Kingsborough School. Eydis Thorarinsdottir, our Icelandian elf draws a crowd. 40 D. Clizbe, and S. Siegfried take a break during a hectic day of elfing. Stephanie Bakyta proves elves come in all shapes and sizes. Pete Anadio and Chris Sutliff model classic elf costumes. 41 Santa and his elves pose for a photo for Mrs. Claus. N. Kumpan, E. Dorman, S. Bakyta, B. Barkevich, K. Kucel, S. Armstrong and M. Foster.

David Tierney and Becky Garguilo speak to the Class of '84 about the Junior Prom. The junior year is probably the roughest, toughest, most exhausting year of all the high school years. For most, the on- slaught of harder courses, more regents, the SAT's, driver's li- censes, and the prom means a challenging year. American Studies and American Literature are re- quired courses that can either make or break your average. These courses really put pres- sure on the junior, especially if he or she is also taking a math or science course such as trigo- nometry or chemistry. Often a student reacts to this pressure by neglecting his or her studies, but of course this only adds to the stress when the student re- ceives poor marks. The PSAT's and SAT's are tests that most students would give their two front teeth not to take. Though they are op- tional, most students take them to help get into college. The tests judge verbal and math- ematical skills, and test logic and application abilities. Since most juniors are old enough to get their driver's li- cense, they often endure rigor- ious hours parallel parking, do- ing three-point turns and, of course, learning the logic of the traffic lights. Once the stu- dent manages to obtain a li- cense, he or she is faced with the responsibility of staying ac- cident free and of maintaining the car. Most juniors look forard to the Prom, but many are anxious about whether they will be asked to go. They also worry about the cost of tickets, tux- edos, and dresses. Indeed this occasion, too, can add stress to the life of a junior. A junior's eyes look forward to the future-to the senior year, to college, to work, to the rest of their life. Throughout the year, juniors need to re- member that there is always hope. If one keeps trying, one will achieve.

He enjoyed school and was involved in many activities including I.F.C., D.E.C.A., and J.V. Soccer and track. Richard was well known and well liked throughout the school. Your friends remember you, Richard, and your respect for yourself and for others. Wendy Palmateer had a desire to better herself and to help others. She is missed by all who knew her — especially missed is her friendly smile. 80 m Sari Kuebaugh Tammy Lair Amy LaPorta Mary LaPorta David Lee Lori Lehr Richard Lighthall Douglas Lindsey Lisa Lobdell Matthew Loveling Michael Mackey Sandra Main Ellen Mainwaring David Malagisi Jane Manchester Richard Mancini Robert Mendetta Andrew Marino Chris May Mary Jo Maynard Bill Mead David Mickels Eric Miller Todd Miller Craig Mills Matthew Morey Beth Morse Richard Mosetti Tracy Newton Phyllis Nicolella Tammy Nigro James Oare Steven Oarr Rodney Oathout Mary Olesczuk Kimberly Olmstead John Onufrak Rebecca Orlosky Thomas Orsell Joseph Paciolla Shelly Passero Ronald Patterson Tammy Peck Ralph Perrone Jeffrey Persch Susan Phillips Audra Piazza Terese Pollard John Powers Vincie Priolo June Puskarz Kelly Quinn Tamre Renzo Lynn Reppenhagen Laurie Riach Arthur Rice Karen Roller Cheryl Rose David Rose 82 Be careful, Chris Heacock and Anthony Yaco- buccil One false move and the whole school will blow up.

It seems that all of the activities that they plan are a success. The leaders of the class of '85 are: Debbie Lawton: President; Eric Holmlund: Vice Presi- dent; Susan Santella: Treasurer; Tracy Murphy: Secretary. A floor hockey tournament and the sales of class rings are the major events planned for the 1982-83 year. Mr. Brenno is very proud of the class of '85 because they came in first in the school-wide magazine drive. He would like to give recognition to the sopho- mores who sold ten or more magazine subscriptions: Ursula Cook (31), Tom Coon (11), Joe Dirsa (17), Tony Gillotti (10), Missy Nicollela (18), Greg Rowley (16), and Frederika Steenburg (10).

No longer the rulers of Estee, they face the trials and tribulations of the High School. When questioned, many freshmen had definite first im- pressions of high school. In one large breath, a very excited freshmen, J.C., said: I love it! The halls are crowded, it's murder on the stairs! 10,000 cute guys, especially the older guys! Others, like M.B., comment- ed its a lot like Estee, but big- ger. It's harder if you're taking honors courses, but school's fun. There aren't as many stairs in the high school as in Estee. Some said they don't like G.H.S. . But others, like L.V., found it to be an intellectual experience, where we are basi- cally treated like adults-except when a certain teacher turns off the lights for us to shut up and hear the announcements. As the freshman continue into their Sophomore, Junior, and Senior years, they will probably not remember all their first impressions of high school, and all will undergo many changes as time goes on. But most of them will remem- ber their freshman year as a year of adjustment in which they prepared for both their immediate and distant future.

He has been with G.H.S. for sixteen years and he has thoroughly enjoyed it. Before counselling at the High School, Mr. Ash- line was a guidance counselor at Estee Middle School. He also taught elementary school. The heart of his job is in counselling; to help students with their problems and to see that they are successful during and after high school. He helps all students find jobs and pick colleges. Without Mr. Ashline, a lot of students would be lost and unsure of their futures. The 1983 Oracle staff wishes to commend him for continuing to do a fine job. Mrs. Conrey, the only certified glovemaking in- structor in New York State has been teaching for twenty-two years. Her students include both male and female high school students participat- ing in a two year course training them on five different types of machines and in basic sewing skills. The students complete stuffed toys, pillows, gloves, garments, gymbags and Miss Fulton Coun- ty's state pageant outfit. Mrs. Conrey has spent many dedicated years preparing students for jobs in the glovemaking and garment industries. Mr. Gibbons has been teaching at Gloversville for twenty-two years. Since he started working at G.H.S., he has accomplished a great deal: starting the school store, starting D.E.C.A., training hun- dreds of kids in store management, having 8 or 10 state winners compete in national competition in various parts of the country, achieving an adver- tising layout project through the marketing class, and getting students involved in community ac- tivities. Mr. Gibbons has not only achieved things for the school, but also for himself; he is currently the President of the New York State Marketing Teachers Association, Chairman of the Board of Trustees of D.E.C.N.Y., Chairman of the State Ca- reer Conference, and he is also on the National Committee for D.E.C.A.. He also commented that his biggest achievement was keeping his sanity. Mr. Gibbons will soon be leaving to begin a new job at the Program Implementation Center, part of the State Education Department. He will be the Associate Project Director in charge of curricu- lum. He will be working with the Futuring Project for Occupational Education as well as general education. It is a one year appointment and his plans now are to return at the end of the year. The Oracle wishes Mr. Gibbons the best of luck in his new endeavor, and hopes he will return to con- tinue his excellent work at G.H.S.. Mr. Gibbons, a business teacher at G.H.S., has been at Gloversville High School for 22 years. Mr. Ashline, Guidance Counselor, has been at Gloversville High School for sixteen years. Mrs. Conrey is the only Glovemaking instructor in New York State that is cer- tified. BOARD OF EDUCATION Mr. George Krahl, the Superintendent of the Glo- versville Enlarged School District, has a job with many facets. His occupation includes serving as the chief adminis- trative officer of the school district, and acting as the educational advisor to the Board of Education. He su- pervises the performance of all employees, and is re- sponsible for the organization and management of the activities of the school system, and encourages positive school-community relations. Indeed, he is a busy man. Mr. Krahl began teaching school in Bay City, Michi- gan, where he taught seventh grade. His next position, in Wilson, New York was teaching general science and earth science. Later he became the Principal of Wil- son's Junior High School. Moving on, he became the Assistant Principal of Oneida, New York schools, and later Superintendent of Schools in Warsaw, New York. On November 1, 1981, Mr. Krahl became the Superin- tendent of Gloversville schools. One of the qualifications necessary to a superinten- dent is that of being professionally prepared as a teach- er. Mr. Krahl related an incident at another school in which, while taking a class on a field trip, a boy took the school bus and went cruising all over town. Eventually, the boy and the bus were brought back to the school. Mr. Krahl said that this, one of the most unusual inci- dents he faced in his teaching career, definitely made him think.

To reach for another is to risk involvement. To expose your feelings is to risk exposing your true self. To place your ideas, your dreams before a crowd is to risk their loss. To love is to risk not being loved in return. To live is to risk dying. To believe is to risk despair. To try is to risk failure. But risks must be taken, because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing. The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing, is nothing. They may avoid suffering and sorrow, but they cannot learn, feel, change, grow, love, live. Chained by their attitudes they are slaves; they have forfeited their freedom. Only a person who risks is free. Written by a teacher in the Chicago area Be more than a rock; do more than “just get by. Behold the mightly turtle who makes pro- gress only when he sticks his neck out. Challenge life. Challenge yourself. James Proper Assistant Principal Mr. James Proper, Assistant Principal. Mr. Jack DeWeese, Gloversville High School Principal. The theme of this year's Oracle, The Rock holds special feelings for all of us. It is solid, yet has sentiment; it represents permanence and stability in uncertain times; it has value which cannot be spent and an assurance of a tomorrow. These values can also be found in the process of knowledge. Keep them with you always. Jack T. De Weese Principal Here's pie in your eye, Mr. Proper! THE GUIDANCE DEPARTMENT leo Hallenbeck: B.S., M.S. Oneonta; Guidance Counselor. Elaine Harris: B.A., U. of Maryland, M.A. Albany: Guidance Counselor. The Guidance department is a special part of Gloversville High School. We have three Guidance Counselors: Mr. Ashline (Chairman), Mrs. Harris, and Mr. Hallenbeck; plus a very helpful secretary, Mrs. Oare. When any student needs help in deciding on colleges, or in making out or changing their schedules, the Guidance Department is there. Counselors are go-betweens be- tween students, teachers, and par- ents; setting up parent conferences if needed. The Department is in charge of student records, credits, and test scores, and supplies tran- scripts to colleges. Appointments are also made for college represen- tatives to come to the school. Col- lege catalogs are available in the Guidance Department. The Guid- ance Department also maintains the G.I.S., or Guidance information Ser- vice, a computerized information service on colleges throughout the country. Job offers from community busin- esses and individuals come to the Guidance office, which notifies stu- dents. The Department is also re- sponsible for getting scholarships in- formation, especially at the local lev- el, out to students. The Guidance Department han- dles many necessary student ser- vices, and handles them very well. In the words of Mrs. Oare: The Guid- ance area is always busy-there is nev- er a slow moment. Above left: Donald Ashline: B.S., Plattsburgh; M.S., Siena; Guidance Department Chairman. Joan Oare: Guidance Department secretary. Secretaries-Vital Part Of G.H.S When asked what rewards and drawbacks a secretary faces, Mrs. Wemple states: “There aren't all that many drawbacks. However, unruly students who won't listen when spoken to can be frus- trating. She also stated that There are many rewards. Mrs. Wemple enjoys meeting all kinds of students and keep- ing busy. Mrs. Bagnoli, secretary to Mr. DeWeese, found the only drawback to be the pace (at times). There are so many things to do and you can never work on just one project. She feels she's rewarded with The good feeling I get when I know I've done a good job. There's also an uplifting feeling being around students. Communicating with upset parents on the phone can sometimes be nerve-wrack- ing, says secretary, Laurie Stewart. However, she enjoys working with the students and getting to know them. Lynda Clizbe, secretarial aide, enjoys her job involving typing, filing, and xeroxing. The people with whom she works are friendly and very helpful. Lynda feels her job is preparing her for her future occupation which will deal with comput- ers. i 114 Mrs. L. Stewart Miss L. Clizbe HEALTH DEPARTMENT There are many new faces around Gloversville High School this year. For many of the students who stop in to the health office, Mrs. Tyrrell is a very important person. Wheth- er you need a bandaide, a safety pin, or just some words of ad- vice, Mrs. Tyrrell is always ready to lend a helping hand. The major concern of Mrs. Tyr- rell and the health office staff is to meet the needs of every stu- dent that enters the office. The staff is also busy helping Dr. Esper in giving the hearing and eyesight exams. Mrs. Buanno, health office aide, said, we try to teach the students health as we go along, as well as handling emergencies. Mrs. Tyrrell, School Nurse B. Mosconi, Attendance Aide Dr. J.

REMEDIAL PROGRAM 116 Phyllis Nicolella, special Education Margaret Kincaid, Reading Peter Wizes, Remedial Math Debra Tymchyn, Testing and Learning Disabled The remedial program at Gloversville High School is a vi- tal part of the school. From testing to reading and writing to social studies and math the department provides it all. It deals with the learning disa- bled, the ROE students and others. This year we have a new ad- dition to the remedial program. She is Miss Debra Tymchyn and she will be dealing with the learning disabled. She will also be doing some of the testing. Another new addition to the program is Mrs. Patricia Walk- er. She is a remedial aide. She will be working with the other remedial members to enhance the education of its students. Patricia Walker, Remedial Aide Mary Agosta, Reading Aide Richard Wemple, Special Education ENGLISH DEPARTMENT Hard Work- The Key To Theater In an interview, Mr. David Montague, one of our resident theater experts, responded to questions about G.H.S. theater and theater in general. Concerning changes he's seen in theater over the years, his reply was two fold. First, Mr. Montague commented on changes made in our audito- rium. The curtains, sound sys- tem, and lights have been re- placed and the seats recovered. Secondly, he discussed how students have changed con- cerning theater. Today's stu- dents are more involved in ex- tra-curricular activities, and are afraid to display the talents they possess on a stage. Mr. Montague was also asked if G.H.S. had talented students. His response was that there is tremendous talent, but it is un- tapped. He feels that, There are no limits on a student's tal- ent, only limits on minds. Mr. Montague listed the character- istics all good actors and direc- tors should possess. These are: ability to accept criticism, self discipline, observation, pa- tience, and curiosity. Also helpful to an actor are a fine acting school and money. He also stated, a director needs patience, long hours to devote, hard work, and observation skills. Mr. Montague said: Anyone interested in a career in drama needs training, pa- tience and good timing. He feels that drama is a difficult field to get into, but the career possibilities are limitless. When asked if a career is feasible, he replied, saying, It's feasible but not advisable, unless you're dedicated. His hopes for the future of G.H.S. theater are optimistic. He hopes it will grow broader and become diversified. But he also says more student involve- ment is needed! His last remark was his theater pilosophy of 24 years: High School students are capable of doing profes- sional theater if they work hard enough at it.

Math deals with the study of numbers, theories, functions, and space. Algebra, geometry, and calculus are examples of math courses taught in high school. A lot of people don't like math because it encom- passes a large amount of appli- cation of the mind. Others don't like it because of the am- ple homework the courses re- quire. But the advantages of a good mathematical back- ground are many. Those who are majoring in any field of sci- ence-astronomy, medicine, en- gineering, etc. can find maxi- mum benefit from math. Math- ematics can, of course, help you to balance checkbooks, measure heights of tall build- ings, shop economically, and do other tasks people face. But most importantly, math can teach you how to think. To think, not only in terms of solv- ing math problems, but of solv- ing your problems! If you can look upon a situation, analyze it and work upon a solution, then you are applying math. It is of a great advantage to you to take math, for you will not only need it during your high school and college years, but you can use it the rest of your life.

Signing up was voluntary, and four teach- ers were chosen for the job: Mr. Fisher, Mr. Metallo, Mr. Adach, and Mr. Gendron. A dean is a person who sits down with students and tries to help them with their problems. Deans are also responsible for disciplining students referred to them. Mr. Fisher finds being a dean exciting. He said it's good to be able to see a different side of the school. It's interesting to teach in the morning and do something different in the afternoon. Mr. Metallo became a dean because he wanted to help with student discipline prob- lems. He and the others work in a positive way to help stu- dents with problems. Mr. Adach likes being a dean because it gives him a chance to work with students in a dif- ferent way than teaching. He also appreciates being able to see his ideas incorporated into school policy. Mr. Gendron was the most explicit. He described being a dean as intense and that there's never a dull moment . He said the school is more pro- ductive because of the deans. Mr. Gendron believes that most kids want some kind of discipline and that the deans can provide it for them. He also stated that the deanship changes your relationship with fellow teachers. They expect you to do miracles and they sometimes forget we are also classroom teachers most of the time. Mr. John Metallo with Carolyn Russo Mr. Richard Adach Mr. David Fisher Mr. Michael Gendron 122 MEDIA CENTER Katherine Orleanski; B.S., Oneonta; M.S.; L.I.V. Librarian. Janis Vietri, Library Aide In her second year of work- ing at G.H.S., Mrs. Orleanski loves her work and says, the students are great. She enjoys working with kids on their term papers and projects. Mrs. Or- leanski's main challenge has been working with students at the high school level because she was used to dealing with elementary students. Her goal for this year is to try to encour- age more students to use the library. Since she's been here, she feels the students have been allowed more freedom than they had in the past with a change in the atmosphere oc- curring. Mrs. Orleanski has also been working with the public library to improve the commu- nication lines between the two libraries. Mrs. Orleanski is also keeping the faculty well in- formed on new materials in the library. Left; Mrs. Orleanski, helping a student find a book.

Thomas Oughton: B.S., Maine Mari- time Academy, M.S., Union; General Science, Physics. The greenhouse, in which Science Department Chairman Mr. Arpin is seen at left, is a new addition to Gloversville High School which will be used for biology labs, science classes, and energy conservation pro- grams. Originally purchased with federal funds and set up at the Kingsboro elementary school in 1972, the greenhouse was moved to the high school when a greater need was seen here. State funds helped with the preparation of its new site by the Building and Grounds Department, and the Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation donated submetering equip- ment to keep track of energy usage. CETA students under the direction of Mr. Doug Lath- rop dug out the interior of the greenhouse and installed a crushed stone floor. Teachers at GHS have donat- ed plants, pots, bulbs, and oth- er provisions. As an on-going laboratory for developing energy saving tech- niques as well as plants, the greenhouse should prove to be a worthwhile investment and an asset to our school.

Social Studies Mr. Harris speaks on Student Government: The S.G.A. has a number of goals which we're working on this year. We're always interested in sponsoring activities which help promote school spirit , and because of this we are sponsoring Homecoming and Winter Carnival. Working on a service project for senior citizens is another of our goals. Our creation of radio station W.S.G.A. is our attempt to improve communications here at G.H.S. We also feel that we need to encourage college visitations for juniors and seniors. We are co- sponsoring, with the Guidance Office, visits to schools in the Syracuse and Oneonta areas. An opportunity to travel is another service which we're offering to students at G.H.S. In the spring, G.H.S. students will have the chance to visit the Washington, D.C. area. Finally, improving student leadership is our final goal for this year. We sponsored a fall workshop for S.G.A. representatives which was conducted by Sagamore Institute from Saratoga. We also planned exchanges between our S.G.A. and the S.G.A. at Parsippany Hills High School in Parsip- pany, New Jersey. I enjoy working with an enthusiastic group such as S.G.A. which is always trying to improve the quality of life here at G.H.S. As our motto pro- claims, S.G.A.-We get involved!

Language Department Gloversville High School Language teachers go beyond teaching their students the bare essentials of a language. Using field trips, novels, pictures, and maps, they help the student see the living beauty of the language. Languages help a student expand their vision of the world. The Department holds a Foreign Lan- guage night with French and Spanish foods of- fered, regional songs and dances performed, and a gaily decorated building. The French Depart- ment sponsors a French Club which earns money for trips to Quebec, Montreal, and New York City through cookie sales and other fund raising events. Customs common to the people of France and Spain are not only studied, but experienced, with pinatas made at Christmas time and French pastries made and sampled in class. In many ways throughout the school, languages come alive. Richard C. Adach: B.A., M.A., Albany: Department Chairman: Spanish, Dean. Mary Jane Fredericks: B.A., Albany: French.

BUSINESS DEPARTMENT Students taking business courses at G.H.S. feel that they have quite a big edge over other high- school students. Over $43,000 in grant money has been spent to improve the Business Department at Gloversville High School. Mr. loele, the Chairman of the Business Depart- ment, has as the main goal of his department pro- viding a more business-like atmosphere for stu- dents preparing to go into some kind of business field, towards this goal, Room 101 has been ex- panded, new machines have been added, and even plants were put in to give the room the professional look.

As Bob Gould states, most students are below age level in their fitness. Gould also says, There is a definite need for physical improvement, but it is hard to get a good physical program going two or three days a week for forty minutes. This is why gym class should be a guide to help students get into an exercise program of their own, but it's up to the individual to overcome his disability. To create better phys- ical fitness, increasing classes like agility and running would seem nec- essary. Mr. Gould agreed this would be important, but he feels more ac- tive participation in classes like bas- ketball or floor hockey is just as good. Finally, Gould comments that most students are between good and fair shape-with exceptions on both sides . However, due to the short amount of time in gym classes, it is up to the individual to deter- mine and improve his physical con- dition.

Mayor Reppenhagen re- plied that all cities are affected by the nation- wide economic slump. With the economy not at its best, the problem of unemployment is on the rise. Although high unemployment usually results in people using drastic tactics in order to survive, crime is not on the upswing in Glo- versville. Welfare payments have increased, however, and the Mayor feels many people take welfare for granted. In the Mayor's opinion, people receiving aid should participate in community work pro- jects. In the near future, changes are possible in Gloversville's appearance. Mayor Reppenha- gen is trying to rejuvenate the downtown area by improving sidewalks and the appearance of buildings. He wants our city to strive to meet its potential and feels we have been too compla- cent in the past. The Mayor has many ideas to improve Gloversville, but workers are needed. Most people want things done, but are unwill- ing themselves to work to get them done-so the projects never get fully developed. Pro- gress only happens when everyone decides to make it happen by lending a hand. Mayor Eugene Reppenhagen The Mayor's View . . .

But did you know that a serious environmental problem exists right here in Fulton County? Cayadutta Creek has been called one of the most polluted streams in the state. This is nothing new; a 1918 report described the Cayadutta as an open sewer. The offensive smell that sometimes hangs over parts of Gloversville is not a new phenomenon either. But finally there is a grow- ing concern over the pollution problem. During the summer of 1982, Fulton County environmental concerns became increasingly important as a public issue. Two fish kills oc- curred in the Cayadutta Creek; since those in- cidents there are no fish left alive in the creek between a tributary running from West Mill Pond to the Mohawk River, except for a short stretch north of the sewer plant. The county also faced the problem of selecting a new land- fill site as the current sites are not meeting state standards. On September 22, 1982, a forum co-spon- sored by several concerned groups of the county was held to inform citizens about harm- ful wastes in Fulton County and to encourage them to take action. Air and stream pollution, the solid waste disposal dilemma, and industry violations of environmental regulations were discussed. Citizens were encouraged to take action by lobbying officials or tipping off an enforcement agency about violations. Hopeful- ly action will soon be taken towards cleaning up the Fulton County environment. Congratulations And Best Wishes To The Class Of '83 143 Lk||Lj| i|i i|i i|i il Nathan Littauer Hospital is constantly developing its separate areas with new and efficient ideas, many of which employ the use of computers. The A.P.I. 3600 is a new addition to the hospital labo- ratory. It exposes bacteria to fifteen different drugs to see which drug will kill it. The Astra 8 computer controlled chemistry analyzer is an- other new addition in the lab. The Astra 8 needs only a small sample to perform tests on geriatric and pediat- ric patients. It is so advanced it can take 70 patient samples per hour and perform nine tests on each. The results are displayed on a screen and a paper print out will appear. Its very economical and it saves a lot of time. The new MPX computer- ized generators for X-rays have an automatic control which will produce a more accurate X-ray exposure. Be- cause of the video camera technology, the X-ray im- ages will have more contrast. Our hospital also recently improved its fire system. The hospital is divided into zones, each with a fire code. Fire and smoke walls divide each zone and prohibit the spread of fire. Dampers were installed in heating and air- conditioning ducts wherev- er they pass through a fire or smoke wall. The new fire alert system supplies the telephone op- erator with a digital display which automatically lights up the area exposed to the fire or smoke. It's also tied in with the Gloversville Fire Department to assure quick response should fire occur.

Phone: 725-4919 148 Fashion is identity. Women and men all over the world have always taken an interest in what they wear. Through the years, fashion at Gloversville High School has changed immensely. Lengths of skirts have gone from mini to maxi to knee length and are now beginning to go back to mini again. Since there is such an assort- ment of styles, many styles that were in 10 years ago are out. Many old styles look strange to us now, including bell bottom pants, halter tops, with short shorts, hip hugger pants, with many loud, bright, plaid pat- terns. The styles of today in- clude many ruffles on blouses, often with puffy sleeves; tight jeans, or baggy jeans that are tight at the bottom. Many girls wear sweatshirts and sweat- shirt material. Fashion has many fads; it's hard to keep up with all of them. We go from tee-shirts and jeans, to the preppie look, to punk - who knows what's next? The preppie look in- cludes turned up shirt collars, loafers, headbands, and alliga- tors. The punk look is short, short hair, long skirts that overlap the mini skirt, and tee- shirts and jeans which are most likely designer. Originally sell- ing at an average price of be- tween $18 and $20, jeans are now in various styles by various brand names, including Calvin Klein, Sasson, Gloria Vander- bilt, Bonjour, or Jordache, and cost between $40 and $60. Fashion will constantly be changing, but the true mean- ing of fashion is what looks good on the individual-it doesn't matter what others think.

The housing industry in Fulton County has suffered some wounds, to be sure, but it remains alive and kicking. In fact, the claim that now is the best time to buy, as most Realtors can attest, is not merely a public relations slogan—its a fact. What does Fulton County have to offer prospective home buyers in our area? A lot. First, the average priced home in our area is $27,000, which is considerably lower than the national average. Second, our tax base is much lower than other areas, and our educational system is su- perior to that of many other areas. Com- bined with a family oriented living style, we can offer a slower pace of living on a much smaller annual income-making this an ideal area in which to raise a family. Economically, we are fairly sound. Al- though problems have plagued our area because we are basically a one industry county, these problems are being worked on and our government officials are constantly promoting our area in or- der to induce new industries to locate here. Financing is still expensive in our area, but there is money available, for home purchases and to promote busi- nesses to come into our area. Several businessmen and women have a tremendous amount of faith in our area regarding its future growth, and have re- cently opened their own new businesses. The real estate industry is alive and con- tinuing to grow. Fulton County is still an area where the average family can realize their American Dream of home owner- ship and raise and educate their family.

In the opening game of the season, the Husky offense went down in defeat to Herkimer 6- 0. Coach Gould switched tight end Bruce Barkevich to full- back, which proved to be a key change for the Huskies the rest of the season. The Huskies gained confi-' dence in the second game of the season with an 18-0 victory over Syracuse's Nottingham. After the second game the Husky offense had no problem moving the ball and the de- fense played well, but mistakes marred the Huskies; they were 3-3 going into the Ballston Spa game. The Ballston Spa game set the tone for the remaining two ballgames, as Gloversville never gave up and emerged victorious with a climactic 22- 21 victory over the Scotties. In the last game of the season- against arch-rival Johnstown, the Huskies needed a victory to gain a share of the Foothills Council crown, but had to set- tle for second as the Huskies and Sir Bills played to a 14-14 deadlock. Outstanding performances for the year came from Tony Yacobucci, Bruce Barkevich, Ron Capparello and Dave Mer- witz-all one-way starters on the Foothills Council All-Stars Team, while junior Scott Handy gained recognition as a two- way starter in the Council and a defensive starter for the Schen- ectady Gazette All-Star team. Chris Galpin and Rick Mullins also had outstanding seasons, as Galpin contributed to many tackles and Mullins averaged almost five yards every time he carried the ball. The 1982 Huskies should be commended on a very fine sea- son. They finished with a 5-3-1 record overall and a second place finish in the Council. Next year the '83 Huskies will have a very strong team and they look like the favorite to win the Council Crown. Con- gratulations again to the '82 Huskies! Top: D. Ferguson, B. Barkevich, J.

Junior Varsity Football Led by captains Tom Willet and Scott Hamilton and under the coaching of Mr. Battisti and Mr. Carpenter, the J.V. Football squad wrapped up the 1982 season with a 5-3 record. The team was led in scoring by sophomore fullback Clarence Veeder and junior tailback Dave Mickels. Superb defen- sive playing came from junior defensive end Rich Mancini, sophomore linebacker Rich Murray, and defensive halfback Jim DelNegro. This J.V. squad should prove to be very helpful to next year's varsity team.

The leading scorers for the team were quarterback, Shane DiMaio and fullback, David Chamberlein with two touch- downs each.

Twin Cities Tie The Gloversville-Johnstown game this past year, even though fought to a 14-14 tie, was one of the most dramatic and exciting games played this year. From the moment the maroon and white clad Huskies ran onto the field until the final whistle ended the game, the fans wildly cheered their team on. Just two minutes into the game the fans had even more reason to cheer. Wide-receiver Dave Ambrosino went deep on an option play to catch a spec- tacular pass from Don Cairns, then ran into the end zone for the Touchdown. Johnstown then scored twice adnd was on the move again when Chris Galpin, the game's most valu- able player, intercepted a pass and set up the Huskie's next score, a one yard run by Rick Mullins. The rest of the game remained quiet except for the final minutes when Bruce Bar- kevich carried the ball almost every play down the field into Johnstown territory. Barkevich almost single handedly brought the raging Huskies to a 4th down and 3 yards to go on the Johnstown 15 yard line. With 40 seconds left and the fans go- ing crazy, he missed a heart- breaking field goal attempt and the Huskies settled for a tie. David Ambrosino (88) pulls away from a Sir Bill pursuer.

The Red Dragons went through a rebuilding period this year after losing 10 seniors from last year's Foothills Championship team. The young team, including only four seniors, struggled through the early part of the season, winning only one of their preliminary games. The opening Council game against Hudson Falls was also a dis- appointment; they failed to score a goal despite some excellent play, losing 1-0. The offense pro- duced in their next game, scoring three goals in blanking Queensbury. The next two games, against league power- houses Ballston Spa and South High, were frus- trating defeats. The Red Dragons rebounded with a 5-0 victory over Glens Falls. In the second half of the season the team gained revenge by defeating Hudson Falls. Although at first the offense had problems in the second half of the season, defen- sive play became a problem. The Dragons lost to Queensbury, 4-3, and were again defeated by Ballston Spa and South High. They ended the season by tying Glens Falls in a thrilling overtime game. Despite their poor show- ing in the standings, the Dragons received a Sec- tional Berth, but lost their game with Ravena. Notable standouts on the team were Matt Morey, named best defensiveman, and included on the first team Foothills Council All-Stars, who also received Honorable Mention on the Section II All-Stars, as were Chris Sutliff and Andy Goode- mote. ]ohn Balzano was named Most Improved player; Tom Orsell, a Foothills Council Honorable Mention All-Star, and Scott Kenny, were given the Coaches Award; Chris Sutliff was named Most Valuable Player. 171 Dragons in Action!

The J.V. soccer Dragons had one of their finest seasons in recent years, finishing with a 10-5-2 record. Their performance gave them third place in the Foothills Council-only one game out of first. The team started off the year well by winning most of their pre-Council games. After some mid- season scoring trouble, several plays came around and started to work. A tie with league Champion Queensbury, however, ended their hopes for first place. The good season, gives hope that next year's varsity will have one of the best. Standouts on offense were Pat Dowd and Paul DiNitto with Dowd taking the team scoring title with 13 goals. He also won the award for best- offense. Duane Woodruff was credited as best defensive player. Arthur Aulisi and Matt Smrtic were dubbed most imprpved players. J.V. Dragons cooling off after a hot game. They were very helpful to the team in the latter part of the season. Many other players who did not get special recognition helped make the team play like a well oiled machine. These players will probably become more valuable to the varsity team in future years. 172 Counter-clockwise from below: Ron Patterson winds up for a powerful kick; Coach Rushen counts heads as Andy and John Coodemate look for a seat; C.H.S.

Tara Nigro in her Freshman year at GHS was honored with most goals for the season. Three members of the Lady Huskies were named to the Foothills Council All Star Team, these were junior Tammy Nigro from the first team. Freshman Tara Nigro from the second team and Junior Sue Smullen also from the second team; Sophomore Jill Hickok re- ceived honorable mention. All eleven starters are returning again next year. Coach Kaiser looks for- ward to a very successful season.

This was a building year for the J.V. team in which the girls learned the skills and rules of the game. This was the first year in many that our school has had a Junior Varsity team.

Hold that pose!! 175 Boy's Cross Country Track For one of the lesser ac- claimed sports in the high school, track has had quite a turnout this year. With usually 60 people showing, eighty was much more than expected. Even though there are so many people, Mr. Fisher, the coach, will not make any cuts. He feels it is unfair to not give someone a chance to develop their full potential. The other coach, Mr. Collins, has the same ideas as Mr. Fisher, with a few more about working hard. His favor- ite saying is “I hate to see you people walk! He is the re- placement for Mr. Sylvester who retired as track coach last year after 19 years of being in that position. During winter track (there is spring and fall track, too) we are part of the Tricounty Indoor Track League. Row 1: M. Funke, D. Pilkey, ). Caran- gelo, P. Delsignor,). Carangelo, C. Car- angelo.

They have sixteen events for boys and fourteen events for the girls (who don't have pole-vaulting or triple high jumping.) These events all consist of different types of shotputting, sprinting, distance running, long and high jumping, and pole-vaulting. The three people who have the one on one relationships with the novice track members are Bruce Trombley, Loren Lawyer, and John Carangelo. They are the track captains. Bruce's talent lies in pole-vault- ing, in which he hopes to break the current High School record of 12 foot 3 inches, held by Mark White. With a personal record of 12 feet 0 inches, he has a very good shot at doing this. Loren himself is proficient in sprints and long jumping, while John prefers long dis- tances of one or two miles. These are the pros who teach us beginners what to do. The captains lead the prac- tice, and this is how it goes. A usual practice (for everyone ex- cept the shotputters) begins with the exercises: jumping jacks, hurdlers stretch, Rus- sians, backbends, head to knees stretch, head to the feet stretch, bicycles, and others. If some of these sound unfamiliar to you, you'd learn them all well if you joined track. Next we do agility, which is running, hopping, sprinting, etc. After that we're off to the weight room to build our muscles. When we're done with the weights, it's time for progres- sions to three or four. In pro- gressions you run one lap, jog two laps, run up and down the stairs twice, etc. If you survive that, you can go home. It's tough, but if you're willing to work long and hard, you too can be a track star. 177 The Golf Team Tee's Off The 1982 golf team enjoyed its finest year to date, with an overall record of 9-1-1, the loss coming at the hands of a deter- mined Ballston Spa team, and the tie coming from a lucky Troy team. The golf team got its revenge at the Foothills Tour- ney blowing away Balston Spa and all other competitors by many strokes, with Paul Sanges taking medalist honors with a solid 75. This insured him a spot on the Foothills Council All- Star team along with Jim Franco and Babe Baldwin. Other strong performers were Pat Derby, Dave Bakyta, Mike lan- noti, and the Skippy, Andy Stu- denic. Above: S. Schlenker, A. Studenic, A. DiCruttalo, B. Baldwin, W. Cetman, M. lannoti, D. Bakyta, P.

They thought we didn't know the first thing about the game. When we went to our first actual meeting and practice, we were all dumbfounded, and we went home with bruises and bumps that you weren't sup- posed to get from flag football. As the grueling practices went on, we improved each week, but as the game came closer upon us, we were getting pret- ty nervous. Coach Collins calmed us down and helped us to feel confident. He knew we had been practicing hard and he had confidence is us. November 7 finally arrived and all the girls were psyched and ready. This mixture of con- fidence and nerves helped the Huskettes play their best, and the girls, working as a team, de- feated the Lady Sir Bills 21-13. Exceptional performances were turned in by our quarter- back Kim Peck, and by running back, Leslie Decker. The team hereby expresses its gratitude to Miss Lewis for all her time and devotion, and to our GREAT Coach, Mr. Col- lins. Now we know what it's like to be a real team.

Who, of all people, would you think would be willing to sacrifice their voices in both hot and cold weather rousing up all those Huskie fans at the Football games? Well, the C.H.S. football cheerleaders, of coursel After school during the foot- ball season, a person may find the cheerleaders working out in the gym practicing their cheers and jumps or even may hear them at 4:00 in the morn- ing posting signs on the doors of the Husky players. They go even so far as to risk their repu- tation being seen in Johnstown posting C.H.S. is 1 signs! Much of the credit is due to these cheerleaders for their time and dedication in keeping that ol' C.H.S. spirit sky high! J.V. FOOTBALL CHEERLEADERS Front: S. Santella. Row 2: K. Boardway, K.

Most students do not realize what it means to prepare for these games. It includes prac- ticing jumps and cheers over and over until they are perfect, and painting and hanging up signs and posters on the gym walls to show our school spirit. So while the Dragons are preparing for their big game, the dragon cheerleaders are getting, Fired up for victory! Below; Front: B. Carguilo, L. Meher, P. McCune; Row 2: L. Malagisi, A. Piazza, P.

People you can always count on to be at every soccer game, cheering our team to a hopeful vic- tory, are our very own soccer cheerleaders. You will always be able to find them standing behind our team, yelling cheer after cheer in or- der to psyche the players up. This takes much time and practice in order to look good for our team. So the next time you go to a soccer game, check out those G.H.S. dragon cheerleaders, they really know how to keep the ball rolling! Diane Des Jardins, K. Hillman, K. Roller, T. Ropeter, P. Bruce, R.

John also bowled the day's high series with a 607. Lori Lehr rolled a 207, with Tammy Lair rolling a 201. Kathy Lair made the first team for the All Stars, while her sister Tammy made the second team. G.H.S. won the Sixth Annual Rotterdam Invitational Tourna- ment, with a pinfall of 3162. Lori Lehr led with a 210-549 ef- fort, John Busek was second with 541, and Tammy Lair had a 202-540 performance. In a non-league match, the Huskies downed Mahonesen 3 to 1 with the help of Scott Lee who rolled a 641 series. Paving the way for G.H.S. this year is eighth grader Kathy Lair, who boasts a 179 + average! Scott Lee isn't far behind with a 174, while Kathy's sister Tammy consistently bowls close to 170.

The scarcity of snow for this year's ski season had little effect on our G.H.S. ski team. Early in January, when both downhill and cross country skiers would normally be skiing on our cam- pus grounds, the insufficient snow accumulation still had our skiers diligently running and working hard to prepare them- selves for upcoming races. Needless to say, their hard work paid off. The 1983 Gloversville Invita- tional Ski Meet, although not held on the usual home turfs of Rockwood State Forest and Royal Mountain Ski Area, was, as usual, an immense success. Competitors from eight area schools participated in this meet. This annual event orga- nized by coach John Callahan consisted of two winter events, giant slalom and cross country racing. The cross country race, held at Lapland Lake Ski Area on Fri- day January 28, gave competi- tors a somewhat challenging and quickly paced race with a great deal of down hill slopes. The giant slalom races, held at Willard Mountain the following day also were considered chal- lenging courses with the addi- tional challenge of icy condi- tions. Many G.H.S. competitors finished in top form in our meet. Thanks to the combined efforts of the cross country and downhill teams along with help from parents and assisting teachers, the Gloversville Ski Weekend was considered an enjoyable and worthy exper- ience by competitors, coaches and spectators. 187 Varsity Basketball The Gloversville High School Varsity Basketball team, led by Coach Zayicek, has been having a very good season this year. As of this writing, the Varsity Dragons are in second place only one game behind first place South Glens Falls. The team has had several highlights this year including their own Christmas Tournament. In the tourna- ment they defeated Ravena in the opening round, but lost to Saratoga, who had defeated Sachem of Long Island, in the finals. Two big games were played against Little Falls with the two teams split- ting: Little Falls defeated Gloversville in the first game by one point, while in the second game, Gloversville finished on top by two points. Perhaps the most exciting game of the season was against arch-rival Johnstown at FMCC. Glo- versville was down much of the game but over- came an eighteen point deficit to win by one point. Despite these victories, losses to Ballston Spa and Hudson Falls degraded Gloversville's ef- forts to remain in first place. This year's race finds Gloversville, South Glens Falls and Ballston Spa in the thick as they race for the Council title. The Dragons have been led in scoring by center Jon Goodemote who also leads the Foothills Council. He has been backed up by guards Rod- ney Brown and brother Andy and fine shooting by Tommy Jones. Greg Musillo, Babe Baldwin, and Randy Hall have also contributed to success. This is one of the finest teams Gloversville has seen in recent years. Front Row: S. Caruso, R. Brown, T. Jones, R.

They strug- gled during the early part of the season, but were able to keep the games closer as the season pro- gressed. The team possessed a good defense, keeping the scores low and the team in the game. Offensively they improved greatly, raising their shooting percentage drastically. They did well in- side-getting more rebounds than their oppo- nents. The team was never defeated by wide mar- gins in its Council games. It is hoped that the young team will continue to improve and will do better in the future. Front Row: R. Catanio, A. Simons, I. Knapp, Row 2: Mgr. S. Zarelli, E. Collar A. DiCruttalo, M. lanotti, T.

Coach Gary Smith did a fine job as coach. He emphasized learning was more important than winning. The team was led by captains Pat Dowd and Dave Chamberlain, who were first and second in scoring respectively. Other consistent starters were John Vroman, Paul DiNitto, and Mike Cos- selman, who each had fine seasons. Other mem- bers included: Tony Tiger Sturgess, Kyle Atty, Chris Crocetta, Dave Blanchard, Bill the animal Decker, Dave McGee, Mike Sparky Bouchard, and Rick Strauser, who spent the majority of the season on the injured reserve list. Although their record showed little success, the players learned the fundamentals of the game from Coach Smith. The team also learned to play as a team, instead of individually. The team expects to do better next year. Front Row: T. Sturgess, M. Cosselman, D. Buchard, D. Blanchard, C. Crocetta, D. Chamberlain, Row 2: Coach Smith, S. Demio, J. Vroman, D. McGee, P. Dowd, B.

Although they may not have outplayed their opposition, they definitely out-classed them. Coached by Barb Lund- berg, the Dragons never gave up, but gave it all they had. Even with the loss of four sen- iors, the Varsity has a firm foun- dation that should get them in the running in the very near fu- ture. Front: K. Peck, S. Groves, L. Edwards, S. Smullen, S. Shaffer, P. Politsch. Row 2: Coach Lundberg, D. Oare, D. Hladik, S. Suchy, L. Cordovano, C. Rackmeyer, B. Morse. The J.V. team had its share of disappointments this year, too. The J.V.'s, coached by Kate Dale, were a young and reason- ably inexperienced team. As the season progressed the team shdwed much improvement, though. Composed mostly of eighth and ninth graders, the team looks to be building a brighter future for girls' basket- ball at G.H.S. Front: K. Wright, K. Hennesy, R. Danilak, D. McWalker, M. Teele.

Seniors Nick Companogne and Rick Mullins lead in the sprint races, while John Carangelo has shown an awesome 9:56 2 mile. Also Bill Rowback and Steve Ellis show good improvement in their distance races. Bruce Trombley and Loren Lawyer showed great abilities in the pole-vault and long-jump. The boys team also has many freshman, but if they continue to improve the way they have this year, they ought to be heavy competitors in their junior and senior years. All in all, the boys team is looking forward to a very successful indoor season. Front Row: C. Carangelo, B. Sullivan, J. Carangelo. Row 2: S. Ellis, P. Clear, S. Schrader, A. Yacobucci, J.

The team though, coached by Mr. Bob Fisher and Mr. Brett Collins, is a hard-working, determined set of girls. The only senior is Lisa Piazza, but along with juniors Amy Schwed, Tammy Nigro, sophomores Jill Hickok and Debbie Lawton, the field events and sprinting sections are pretty well under con- trol. On the distance end of the team, junior Lau- rie Karpinski along with the help of sophomore Kathy Simonds and freshmen Tara Nigro and Julie Comstock show their abilities in the 600 all the way to the 2 mile. Many eighth graders and freshmen are out for the team this year, and have already shown much improvement in their events. The whole girls team is looking forward to a good performance in the team sectionals and in- dependent championships. Front Row: S. Ficilli, T. Kadle, L. Gear, T. Nigro, J. Steele, T. Dona, L. Evans.

The Varsity Volleyball team, led by captains Diane Baurle and Penny Guyette, didn't finish their season with an excellent record, but the girls had lots of fun playing. Their record may only have been 3-12, but under Miss Tootell's coach- ing, each game showed an improvement from the last. Since the team graduated the first string setters of last year, Baurle and Guyette (otherwise known as gunpowder) took over. Kay Brownell (Cannon) and Michelle Christman (Cannonball) were the teams main spikers, whereas Kathy Conti did the serving. The girls worked together as a team and had lots of fun. There will be four girls returning from this year's varsity team. Front Row: D. Baurle, P. Guyette. Row 2: Coach Tootell, E. t. Winning, M. Christman, C. Barone, M. Kowalczk. Missing: DeRosa, K.

Volleyball The Junior Varsity Volleyball team, coached by Kate Dale, and including three eighth graders, had a tough time this year, winding up with a 1-12 season. As this year's team consisted of all first year players, the future looks brighter. Miss Too- tell plans to promote some of the girls to Varsity next year. This was a year to experiment, create, and de- velop individual styles. The team had difficulties, but also had a good time, as all team members are returning next year. Earla Bassett and Stacey Forst served especially well, and the team did show improvement during the year. Front: E. Bassett, S. Hamel, S. Forst. Row 2: Coach Dale, B. DeRosa, S. Clizbe, M. Clizbe, T.

In their triumph, Johnstown was ripped apart, suffering with an 0-2 re- cord against the Gloversville Varsity Squad. Holding the strong bat on our side was Senior Greg Chris- todulo who led the team in to- tal homeruns. Other strong hit- ters were Babe Baldwin and Bruce Barkevich. Greg Musillo, because of his outstanding pitching average, earned the pitching award on the team. Other outstanding pitching performances were shown by Tom Dona and Art Askew. Al Perrone earned the coaches award for his perfor- mance and the help he gave to the team. This year is predicted to be a good year because many of the varsity players will be returning to the team.

Baseball team had a successful season finish- ing with a 14-5 record overall and a 9-4 record in Foothills Council. The team swept arch- rival Johnstown in these games helping them to a second place finish in the Foothills Council. The team got off to a strong start, winning most of the early season games. They had a dry spell around mid-season where they recorded many of their losses, but they were able to bounce back towards the end of the season to make a strong finish. They defeated every other Council team at least once, defeating Hudson Falls twice and Johnstown three times and splitting two games with the remaining Council teams. Scott Handy was named the team's Most Valuable Player, and Don Whitman was given the coaches award by Coach Zayciek. The J.V. team offers a lot of promise to future Glo- versville baseball teams.

They worked together as a team and achieved a very high honor, becoming Foothills Council Champions. Outstand- ing members of the team were MVP Rich Murray, Tom Willet, Lowest ERA, and pitcher, Bob Catania. The Freshman squad posted a fine 7-3 record for the season.

On the distance side of the track were runners Rich Dor- man, John Carangelo, Lloyd Green, and Rick Maye. Anth- ony Corsini, Bill Rowback, and Steve Ellis could always be counted on to score in any of the distance events. In the sprint, David Botch easily took most of the 200 and 100 meter races, with Rich Floyd trailing right behind him. The field events were also quite strong, with Tom Os- trander in the shot. Still, they finished with a strong second place in the Sec- tionals. This year, the boys team is booking forward to a hopeful victory in the championship meet.

While Tammy Nigro and Amy Schwed gave most of their efforts to the hurdles, they also, along with the help of Jean Clough, led the sprint races for the girls. Polly Reed rounded out the team by winning the walk, and helping out in the long jump. Overall, the girls team was quite young, basically made up of Juniors and Sophomores. Still, they finished third in the sectionals. Front Row: J. Clough, K. Anderson, S. Chizek, M. Melita, L. Mehr, T. Nigro, L. Jablanski, T. Albanese. Row 2: T. Nigro, V. Johnson, D. Cararello, C.

The team had some of the finest players and talent in years but failed to have a winning season. Seniors Mike Kumpan, Paul Wilson, and John Sesonske are the only players to leave, with the rest of the team returning. Returning in- clude: Andrew Studenic, Dave Tierney, Dan Tierney, John Del Negro, Doug Lindsey, Michael Coplan, and Jodene Dresch. These members along with up- coming players should have one of their finest seasons ever. Coach Tony Fabozzi will not be returning next year after many fine years of leadership and dedication to the team. Mrs. Ellen Wood will be the next coach for G.H.S. tennis. Row 1: D. Lindsey, E.

Most of the varsity players were seniors, a disadvantage to the '83 team. Kelly Niznik, who earned the most valuable play- er award, Nancy Malone, re- cipient of the Coaches Award, and Eugenie Turpin, will be sorely missed. The 1983 team is looking forward to the return of Junior Michelle Briggs and Lisa Ed- wards along with Seniors Peck and Cindy Suchy. Overall, the 1983 softball year, looks to be a promising season.

ACTIVITIES PRESENTING: Copy fitting, layouts, picas, and dummies. To most stu- dents these terms are unfama- liar, but to the sixty members of the yearbook staff these words are everyday vocabulary. Last June when advisor, Mrs. Kauff- man, chose the staff who cre- ated this year's Oracle, she had foremost in her mind such characteristics as responsiblity, dedication, and the ability to get the job done. These are es- sential traits in accomplishing the work to publish a yearbook. Six members of the staff took the new Graphics Design course which was offered for the first time in September. Layouts, copy fitting, and pho- tography, along with organiz- ing yourself in order to meet demanding deadlines, were as- pects of this course. Led by co-editors-in-chief Dan Hanifin and Jenny Ham- mond, the yearbook was also composed of section editors, financial managers, advertising and subscriptions editors and staffs, typists, and writers.

Many hours of time are put into the book by each individ- ual, and their duties are end- less. Not only must they sched- ule photographs and write out an infinite number of passes, but they must also identify all those smiling faces in the pic- tures. (Top) Advertising Editors: L. Wilsey, ).

The Rock, having been cho- sen as the theme of the book, became well-known to stu- dents by mid-September. A rock naming contest, the paint- ing of The Rock by the Oracle staff, and the G.H.S.- Home of the Rock t-shirts designed by Melinda Peck publicized the theme. (Right) Underclassmen Editor: D.

Our National Honor Society is just one chapter of the nationally recognized or- ganizations that honor students who have dis- played outstanding academic ability. The purpose of the Honor society is four-fold: to create an enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimu- late a desire to render service, to promote leader- ship and to develop character. Eligibility is open to students in eleventh and twelfth grades who meet the criteria of these qualifications. Scholarship is stipulated by a scholastic average of no less than eighty-five percent. While scholar- ship may be regarded as the most important of the four criteria, membership is never considered on the basis of scholarship alone. The Leadership criterion is determined by the number of offices held in school and community organizations. Character is probably the most difficult crite- rion to determine. Positive aspects, such as hones- Front: K. Brownell, J. Carangelo, S. Bakyta. Row 2: K. Kucel, J. Clough, K. Peck, S. Siegfried (Sec.). Row 3: S. Caruso, D. Hani- fin, E. Dorfman, B. Barkevich, B.

Service is defined in terms of performance for the school and in extra-curricular activities. It can be determined by the contributions the candi- date has made to the school, community, and his classmates. This years induction of new members took place December 9, 1982, with a candle lighting ceremony. Mr. Harold Morrell, President of the Gloversville Board of Education, was the keynote speaker. Senior members of the society per- formed the various parts of the ceremony. New inductees took the Oath of Membership pledge, and promised to uphold the four qualities by which they were selected. Membership in the National Honor Society is both an honor and a responsibility. Students se- lected to membership are expected to continue to demonstrate the qualities of scholarship, ser- vice, leadership, and character. The '83 Oracle congratulates the outstanding achievements of its G.H.S. members. D. Merwitz, M. Peck, ). Balzano, C. Barone, C. Bissel, N. Bu- chanan, M. Clough, L. Cook, S. Ellis, C. Emden, M.

GIRLS' and BOYS' STATE An Unforgettable Week One June 27, 1982, one girl and four boys departed from Gloversville to represent our high school at the 1982 Empire Girls' and Boys' State. En route to Morrisville, New York were representatives Bruce Barkevich and Dave Fer- guson, along with alternates John Carangelo and Chris Sut- liff. What the guys didn't know was that they were in for a week of supervision under the awesome discipline of the Ma- rines, which included awaken- ing at 5 a.m. to prepare their rooms for military inspection. But it wasn't all bad. The reps learned a great deal about par- liamentary procedures, made many lasting friendships, and had a different, but enjoy- able week. When asked about his reflec- tions on Boys' State, Dave Fer- guson said, It was a great ex- perience; I really learned how government works. Bruce Barkevich added: It was prob- ably the most unforgettable week of my life; I made some great friends. Chris Sutliff felt the week and program were superb. Meanwhile, Anne Simon was on her way to Cazenovia Col- lege. She also learned a great deal about governmental ac- tivities and met many girls from all areas of the state. She awoke at 7 a.m. for the raising of the flag, campaigned for elections, and participated in a very mov- ing Candlelight Inaugural Cere- mony. Anne described Girls' State as, An opportunity I'll always remember and one which I wish everyone could exper- ience. Good luck to the 1983 Girls' and Boys' State Representa- tives. Get involved-and may you learn as much as these five individuals did. (Above Left) Front: Alts.: S. Reppenha- gen, N. Kumpan; Rep. A. Simon. Row 2: Alts.:). Carangelo, Chris Sutliff; Reps. B.

Scitamard gives students with a wide range of talents an opportunity to ex- hibit their abilities through the production of plays. Scitamard not only provides financial sup- port for musicals and plays, but its members also experience what it's like to work on a pro- duction. Many members of the club are either a part of the cast or on stage crew. They may also be a part of the many different committees, such as lighting, make-up, or publicity. What- ever the position, members of Scitamard play a major part in providing our school and com- munity with many successful productions each year. SCITAMARD (Above) Front: A. Simon, A. Aulisi, D.

Grease, a musical based on life at Rydell High School. The show was complete with rocking tunes, teasing dance numbers, and a candy-apple colored hot rod created by the Industrial Arts department. The musical, slightly different from the movie, featured the well-known tunes Summer Lovin', Greased Lightning, We Go Together, and Born to Hand-Jive. The Grease Pit (under the direction of Mrs. Marie Bu- chanan) provided the shoo- bops and the rockin' fifties beat for the musical, while the stage crew (headed by Mr. Bryan Bu- chanan) constructed real-life scenery such as the school steps and the Burger Palace. The cast, along with director. Miss Mary Lewis, can be very proud of their production of Grease which sold-out for three consecutive nights.

The Student Government Association, composed of elected representatives, repre- sentatives-at-large, and our three exchange students, is an active group whose main goal is to keep the spirit alive at Glo- versville High School. In September, Eliot Massie, a guest speaker on leadership, led the S.G.A. in a workshop in which the members took part in various leadership exercises. Activities involving the whole student body were also sug- gested. Besides learning how to be- come better leaders, the group held a car wash, sold candles, hosted Open House, spon- sored Homecoming Week and the Winter Carnival, and gath- ered in December for a Christ- mas dinner. In February, twelve members from the S.G.A. host- ed exchange students from Parsippany High School in New Jersey, who in return served as their hosts in March. A trip to Washington, D.C., open to the entire student body, took place in May. We Get Involved! the slo- gan printed on S.G.A.

Students were selected through faculty nominations on a form designed to show evi- dence of above average ability. Meetings were held and a chal- lenge was thrown out to the group. Individual project ideas were sought, money and guid- ance were supplied, but it was up to the students to set their goals and carry out their ideas. Some of the projects this year included: the writing, editing, illustrating, and printing of a book of poetry; fish breeding; the designing of an original comic-book; developing a new computer game; energy con- servation projects for the greenhouse; producing an ani- mated cartoon; and entering the Creative Olympics of the Mind competition. Although Excelsior is new, the program is expanding, with new ideas and new student nominations being added every year. Front: C. Schwartz, B. Smullen, K. Han- dron, C. Whitman. Row 2: L. Lawyer, R.

Under the guidance of man- aging editor Chris Sutliff and advertising manager Pete Buy- an-Ad Anadio, the new staff took over in June of '82 by stag- ing an awesome ad campaign. Students infiltrated Glove City businesses, bringing in over a thousand dollars in sponsors. Also in June, the Growl held a subscriptions campaign which enabled students to purchase a subscription for the following school year. It also provided buyers with a free issue and a savings off the newstand price. Throughout the year, the pa- per featured discount coupons for local businesses, happy ads, very candid candids, and a full- page spread of cartoons which were new attractions and pro- moted the sales of the Growl. Other articles included Sean Morse's satirical column, Scoping It Out, which was aptly named, and The Rock Garden by Sue Ashline. The feature Talk Back provided students with the chance to speak out and voice their opin- ions about the question for the month. (Above) The Husky Growl's awesome new headline. (Below) Front: J.

Newsflash The Husky Growl sponsored an Artistic Composition Awards Contest which offered the musicians, writers, photog- raphers, and artists of Glovers- ville High School the chance to test their creativity and submit an original piece of work. Prizes included a twenty-five dollar first prize, a fifteen dollar second prize, and a third place certificate of merit awarded in each category. The Husky Growl welcomes letters to the editor so that it may find out what you, the stu- dent, is thinking about and do- ing, and how it can try to make G.H.S. an even more enjoyable place to go to school.

A victo- ry party was held after the game at the home of Lisa Piaz- za, and the festivities for the week began. On Monday, November 8th, students were allowed to for- get etiquette for the day in rec- ognition of Hat Day. Many wore head gear such as exotic sombreros, baseball hats, graduation caps, and even bri- dal hats! Tuesday, November 9th brought forth a new day to Gloversville High School: Tropical Day. In spite of the cold weather, participants came to school scantily clad in shorts, sandals, T-shirts, and sun-glasses, and sported white- stuff on their noses. Wednesday, November 10th, was the traditional Maroon and White Day. Students showed their spirit by wearing our school's vibrant colors. Above: The gym gang cools off in the shower on Tropical Day. Below Left: Mr. Proper tries to make a deal with pie-thrower. Sue Reppenha- gen. Right: Mr. Proper gets creamed. Bottom: Our Rock after being invaded by purple and gold creatures. At 2:00 p.m. students were dismissed from classes to at- tend the annual pre-game pep rally. Coach Collins presented the Huskettes with their tro- phy; Coach Gould expressed positive words concerning the Varsity Football team, and the cheerleaders got everyone fired-up. At the close of the rally, Ora- cle's own Anne Simon was crowned Homecoming Queen. Included in her court were Seniors Susan Armstrong, Stephanie Bakyta, Jodene Dresch, and Susan Reppenha- gen-all nominted by various clubs. A small crowd gathered outside afterwards to watch the Queen christen the tarred- and-feathered rock, officially naming it The Rock! Later that night. Johnstown High School sponsored an in- tercity dance featuring the band Gran Slam. Many mem- bers from each school attend- ed, including football players, which promoted good sports- manship before the big clash at Knox Field. On Friday night, the week- long spirit was somewhat quenched by the outcome of the game, with the score tied at 14-14. The Huskies are looking forward to next year's contest, resulting in a decisive win for G.H.S.! Above right: Queen Anne rises to the throne. Far right: What's this, Hallow- een in November!?

A student who participates in Audio Visual is taking on a lot of responsibility. He must dis- tribute and pick up films and audio visual equipment such as movies, over-head, and film- strip projectors. The mainten- ance and continuiing inventory of this equipment is also on the students' shoulders. Audio Vi- sual takes up a lot of the stu- dent's time. He must set up equipment for assemblies, evening programs, and teach- ers, as well as run the equip- ment. Audio Visual resembles a job more than a club. The stu- dents in Audio Visual are re- warded twice a year by getting paid for their services. The View Paul Sanges earning his pay in the A.V. room. Far right: Hey, Dave Tierney, need some help?

Not only must they be interested in helping fellow students, but they must also pos- sess passing grades, available time, and such traits as the ability to be accurate, courteous, and de- pendable. Our eight library aides are always busy handling book loans and returns, shelving books, and per- iodicals, preparing bulletin boards and displays, and assisting with reference work: only a few of their many responsibilities. Students working in the library are rewarded by becoming more informed about the use of books and libraries, filing, and keeping financial records. The experience also provides the aides with the chance to explore a vocational opportunity. 225 Sitting:). Carman, S. Timmerman, M. Busch. Row 2: H. Nickoly, F. Butler, C. Main, T. Bowers, K. Tyrell. The Concert Band is a musi- cal group especially for stu- dents with a serious interest in instrumental music. Through being a member of concert band, students get the exper- ience of performing, increased knowledge of their own and others' instruments, and also gain the added bonuses of the warmth of friendships acquired through the unifying force of music. Through the Concert Band, members can also participate in All-County Band, Area All- State Band, All-State Band, and in summer music groups that enable the growing muscian to get into contact with all kinds of people. Again, more friend- ships are created. Instrumental , the Band has three major classifications: (Top right) Front: H. Warschawski, C. Sager, L. Ellis, M. Batty, N. Ruller, E. White. Row 2: B.

THE MARCHING HUSKIES The Gloversville High School Marching Band, in its fifth year, has really proven what new uniforms and seven and a half hours of practicing a week can do for a band. In competition this year the ninety-three member band and colorguard scored 62.2 points at New Hart- ford, 69.2 points at Mount Pleasant, and a whopping 70.5 at the State Finals in Syracuse. Over the summer the band held a three-day band camp at the high school. From 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. they marched, with short breaks for lunch and din- ner. In addition to drum majors Leslie Ellis, Kelly Anderson, and Chris Barone, there are also many other behind the scenes people who should be credited for putting their time and effort into the band.

Matt Donnelly handles the marching and maneuvering effects, and drill design is created by Kevin Willette. Tom Newell and Chuck Thompson work with the drum line on and off the field. The band's routine this year was done to the tunes Spain, MacArthur Park, and The Greatest Love of All from the movie The Champ . In addition to appearing in the competitions, the March- ing Huskies perform during half-time at football games and in parades. In April the band traveled to Florida where they had been invited to perform at Disney World, Circus World, Sea World, and other Sunshine State attractions. (Top) Front: K. Handron, R. Kwiakowski, Y.

(jazz(jaz): noisy dance music with the accents falling at unusual places.) The musicians of the Gloversville High School Jazz Band hardly think of their music as being “noisy; however, its members are challenged by songs filled with accents falling at unusual places. As in most years, the group lost many fine musi- cians to graduation; nevertheless, Mr. Clo, direc- tor of the talented group, found competent re- placements. The members of the Jazz Band, mainly com- prised of Concert Band students, are given the chance to improvise; in other words, to wander from the written page and create their own music. This year, the Jazz Band followed tradition and performed at the elementary schools, the Miss Fulton County Scholarship Pageant, the Extended Care Facility, Kingsboro Elementary School's graduation, and also appeared on television for the Cerebral Palsy Telethon. The band was also invited for the first time to perform at the Glo- versville-Johnstown Football Banquet. In addition to their many outings, the Jazz Band gave three exceptional concerts at the high school. Get It On, T.J.'s Boogie, Martinique, and Gonna Fly Now were highlights of their repertoire. Although school dismisses for summer vacation in June, the Jazz Band and its alumni continue to practice for the anticipated concert to be given in Melchoir Park in August. Front: E. Dorfman, A.

The main fund-raising activities this year, such as selling buttons, T- shirts, bumper stickers, and lol- lipops, helped provide money for the Marching Band's trip to Florida in April. The Band Club also raised funds to see a Broadway musical in the spring. At the end of the year, both the Band Club and the Band en- joyed a picnic at the Great Sa- candaga Lake.

The Nutones, under the direction of Mrs. Marie Buchanan, represent a four-part chorus who take cho- rus as a class. Due to scheduling difficul- ties, an after-school choir pro- gram was set up so that more students could participate in singing. As a result, the Nu- tones consist of ninety male and female vocalists. The Nutones had a busy year selling ornaments, performing at assemblies, and hosting a Cabaret-style dinner. They also gave three spectacular con- certs, featuring such selections as Perhaps Love, All My Tri- als, and Memory from the musical Cats. In the spring, the Nutones attended a Broadway musical in New York City, resulting as a reward for their fund-raising efforts.

May I borrow a quarter? 1__A Students who work in the School Store have little time to relax. Not only do the workers arrive at school early to prepare such “goodies'' as hot choco- late, donuts, and soft pretzels, but they must also take inven- tory, learn cash procedures, keep inventories, and order supplies for the store. The students enjoy decorat- ing the interior of the Store along with the display case. Each year a new piece equip- ment is puchased; this year the Store bought security equip- ment. Working in the School Store provides the students with the opportunity to work with oth- ers, an experience that will be beneficial to them throughout their life. Mr. Gibbons, Distributive Education teacher and school store advisor, helps students lo- cate jobs in the community. In January, Mr. Gibbons, who has been with the School Store for twenty years, was temporar- ily replaced by Mr. Peter Engle. Mr. Gibbons left his position here to work for the State Edu- cation Department in Albany. The School Store will contin- ue to serve its students with ex- cellence, following Mr. Gib- bons' tradition. (Above) Front: A. Beauchamp, J. Man- chester, C. Young, K. Cook, T. Willis, C. Carpenter.

The colorguard is the group of girls who make spinning those colorful banners look easy, while the band provides the music during half-time at football games. This year, under the instruction of Janet and Martha Odgen, the group practiced two nights a week perfecting their routine. The colorguard also received new uniforms this year, which were similar to the band's in contrast to uniforms of previous years which consisted of skirts and leotards. The colorguard is a vital part of the field band, for it provides viewing pleasure in addition to the listening pleasure sounded out by the band. (Above) K. Willet, P. Smimmo, M. Teale, D. Szabos, V.

International Friendship Club This year the International Friendship consisted of seventy-two members, including our three for- eign exchange students: Eydis Thorarinsdottir (Iceland), Felicity Biltoft (Australia), and Janet Al- len (England). I.F.C. plays a very active role at G.H.S.. It sponsors car washes, shopping trips, and bake sales, and hosts exchanges with other schools. This past year, students from Johnstown High School spent the day at G.H.S., and on the following day Gloversville students paid a visit to J.H.S. The club raises money to help the American Field Service support the exchange programs. (Above) Front: S. Siegfried (V.P.), K. Ralston (Sec.). Row 2: V. Smith (Pres.), J. Moyses (Asst. Sec.).

I.F.C.'s motto, Friendship is Our Middle Name, expresses the goal the club wishes its members to carry on: to establish lasting friend- ships and to expand culturally. At the end of the year, I.F.C. awards a scholar- ship, the Friendship Award, to a senior club member who has worked hard and displayed true friendship. (Left) Front: G. Siegfried, T. Jones, B.

FELICITA Felicita is well-known for its service of providing basketball fans with refreshments during half-time. This year the club, under the advisership of Mrs. Nicolella, took on a number of fund-raising activities. The Feli- cita girls sold candy at the end of November. They also held a bake sale during November and raffled off a Thanksgiving cake. Felicita also performs non- profit services such as ushering the fall plays. This year, Felicita even provided an usherette for the December band concert. The profits Felicita raised from its year-round services went into paying the expenses for a day trip to Boston for Feli- cita members. (Above) R. Blodgett, (Sec.), C. Rose (Pres.), and J.

Much of their time is devoted to selling raffle tickets, Huskie t-shirts and hats, working at con- cession stands, and holding bake sales. At the end of the football season, the profits from these various activities go forth to sponsor a banquet for the players at Brothers Two. Front: M. Kujath, R. Smith, I. Meher, S. Reppenhagen, M.

The French Club is open to students who are studying the French language. This year the club had many bake sales to raise money for its annual trip to the French-Canadian cities of Montreal and Quebec. These trips provide the mem- bers with an opportunity to speak the language and exper- ience the culture they study. In addition to the trip, the French Club sponsored a breakfast of French pastries and also a pizza party in December. Miss Scarselletta, a French teacher, advises the club. Its of- ficers include: Dan Stanyon (Treas.), Barbara Vavruick (V.P.), Teresia Steflik (Pres.), and Tara Tedesco (Sec.). (Above) T. Steflik (Pres.), B. Vavruick (V.P.), Missing: T. Tedesco (Sec.), D.

The club, Fu- ture Nurses of America, led by advisor Mrs. Tyr- rell, has the following officers: President: Becky Goldman; Vice-President: Lynn Trevett; Secre- tary: Thelma Danforth; Treasurer: Kim Tyrrell; and special projects chairperson: Connie Brockhum. The members participated in a very special ac- tivity this past year, adopting grandmothers from the Extended Care Facility, the Getman Home, and the Fulton County Infirmary. Under this adoption program, the girls made cookies for their grandmothers, sent cards, and spent time with them on holidays. In addition to this special project and bake sales, the future nurses heard from various speakers, including the Medical Explorers, who explained the duties of candy-stripers, and from people in- volved in health careers, such as doctors and nurses. Mrs. Tyrrell and the future nurses are looking forward to many rewarding years. (Left) Mrs. Tyrrell, B. Goldman, L. Tre- vett, T. Danforth, K. Tyrrell, C. Brock- hum. National Merit Winners Receiving National Merit Letters of Commendation this year were seniors Jean Clough, Elliot Dorfman, Nancy Kumpan, Amy Comstock, and Jennifer Hammond, who was named a Semi-Finalist. Each scored high- ly on their PSAT's and were awarded this honor along with other high-scoring students na- tionwide. Students who score higher yet on the PSAT's go on to compete for a National Mer- it Scholarship. Letter Recipients: J. Clough, E. Dorf- man, N. Kumpan, A. Comstock, J. Ham- mond. AFS: Small-Town America Janet Allen: Wolverhampton, England I arrived in Gloversville last July feeling very apprehensive about my year ahead. I thought I would find it difficult to adjust to small-town America. However, with everyone's help I learned to love it. I couldn't have hoped for a more friendly community or a more welcoming family. I have greatly enjoyed many of the new oppor- tunities available to me, including skiing, hiking, and participating in a great marching band. There are so many other things I have learned and ex- perienced for which I will forever be grateful. I know my experience was free of many prob- lems faced by other AFS'ers due to the help and understanding of my great family and many friends, none of whom I will ever forget. Thank you for sharing your year with me and making my life here so enjoyable and memorable. Felicity Biltoft: Perth, Australia I have enjoyed every minute I have spent in Gloversville. When I first arrived, I wasn't quite sure how I would adjust to a small town after living in a big city for seventeen years. I survived and now I think I prefer a smaller town. The people here are more friendly and they are interested in you. I am glad I was sent to Gloversville because I have made lasting friendships here that I know will never be broken. I have been able to see a completely different climate and I love snow-ex- cept sometimes the climate is too cold for me. I am glad I was able to come to Gloversville High School and in fact, I will never forget anyone I met or anything I have done here for a very long time. Eydis Thorarinsdottir: Iceland My first impression of America when I arrived here in August was that it was a little too hot the first days, but beautiful. I'm especially not used to all these big trees everywhere. It didn't take me long to like Gloversville. I have a very good family and the people here are very friendly. My first day of school was quite an experience, and a little scary. This school is bigger than the one I'm used to and I was very lost. But somehow, with help, I managed to find my way around and the changes came very quickly. I learned to know people, get used to the language, and make friends I will never forget. I have had a very good time here in Gloversville and at the high school, and I want to thank all of you and the school for being a big part of my great year in America. I hope you will remember me.

They prepare themselves for their futures in the business world by working in the School Store and attend- ing conferences geared for the business student. Along with the courtyard projects and the greenhouse, D.E.C.A. sponsored rollerskat- ing each month and the Jerry Lewis Skate-a-thon. A pie throwing contest (starring your favorite teachers) and a dunking booth were attractions which provided students with spirited fun. D.E.C.A., under the new advisorship of Mr. Engle, looks forward to many more educa- tional, but fun year. (Below) Front: R. Patterson, A. Busch. Row 2: C. Young, S. Passero, R. Autilio, C. Carpenter.

(Above) Students battled Muscular Dystrophy by rollerskating all day at the Jerry Lewis Skate-a-thon, sponsored by D.E.C.A. 243 A Taste Of After being wrapped up in homework and extracurricular activities all year long, activities co-editors Melinda Peck and Anne Simon thought it would be a good idea to inform the students at G.H.S. about what had happened during the 1982-83 schoolyear. Thus, here you have it- a taste of the out- side world - on these two spe- cial edition pages. Fashions, in case you didn't notice, included the punk-rock look: mini-skirts, tights, and short hair. On the other side of the closet were the preppies with monogrammed pocket- books, shoes without socks, and clothing from head to foot containing the ubiquitous alli- gator. (Below) Wearing shoes without socks is characteristic of a typical preppie. (Above) Ann Javarone, from head to foot, models the fashion labeled punk-rock. (Below) Hey, Angela Pi- azza.

Musically, Robert Plant (for- mer member of the band, Led Zeppelin) made his debut on many students' stereos with his awesome album, “Pictures at Eleven. The Tylenol tragedy was a big news event that put consumers on the alert. Several bottles of extra-strength capsules had been tampered with, thus re- sulting in seven tragic deaths in the U.S. That concludes our special- edition pages. We hope they've provided all you students who were book-bound this past year with a sweet taste of what went on in the outside world. (Left) Oouu-ch! exlaims E.T. to Lori Malagisi. The Rock ... a symbol of our high school experience. If we come back to G.H.S. in years to come, we will look at the rock and remember Memories of people, the individuals who make each class unique, and the teachers who helped shape us, memories of experiences, good and bad, will all come rushing back. We will re- member our friends and all the crazy things we did together; we will remember tests, home- work, and discipline. And all the experiences and impres- sions that constitute our high school years are symbolized by our Rock. Upon this rock we will build our future. In this sense our rock is a foundation, as our high school education is the founda- tion of our lives. In just four years we are transformed from children into young adults ready to meet the world on its terms. What we learn in high school about human nature, so- ciety, and ourselves forms a base of ideas we carry with us the rest of our lives. With our foundation built on the solid rock of Gloversville High School, we look toward the future with anticipation and hope.
