We pro- duce music, ideas, feelings, writings, and many other things that make our lives beautiful and more interesting. We need creation to progress and grow as well as keep our prospective fresh and new. We enjoy creation the most when yyg. create something. We create char- acters in plays, devise perfect foot- ball plays, and make delicious food. Those things we create make us proud and that, in turn, causes good feel- ings in others. Everything creates: nature con- ceives new life; we build and invent, growing in every way. Creation lets us realize our potential and talents. It is the beginning of a wonderful exper- ience. (1) Mary Farley creates a convincing wail for the Junior High play (2) Kenley Peck. Steve Heller, and Scott Reddick rehearse their roles for My Three Angels.'' (3) Colleen Merritt's design won first place in the de- sign-a-greetmg-card contest (4) Creation can be found in our own front yard. (5) Art classes give you the opportunity to create your master- piece: afterwards you get to clean up 2 THE TOTAL YEAR Opening Opening THE TOTAL YEAR 3 FORMATION (1) Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee sit side by side at the Junior Prom, spring 1978. (2) Two members of the clarinet section, Betty Foster and Louine Skeldon, play for Moving Up Day 1978. (3) The lines of underclassmen wait to move down then “move up. 4 THE TOTAL YEAR Opening . . . meaning arrangement, shape, and con- tour, is found all around us. We can find forma- tion in the beautiful patterns of native marble, the symmetry of the autumn leaves in the North Country, or the geometric balance of dance dec- orations. Man and society have also imposed form on us: the rows of brick upon brick in our buildings, stretching ribbons of concrete called highways, and the endless lines, rows, blocks, and sections in which we are ever standing, sitting, and wait- ing. Form also means to mold and create, just as our minds are molded and formed by our teach- ers, school, family, friends, religion, and com- munity. (1) A bundle of color and rays of streamers hang over the 1978 Junior Prom. (2) A block of last year's sophomores awaits its turn on the grand stand of G.H.S. during Moving Up Day ceremonies. Opening THE TOTAL YEAR 5 EXPRESSION ... is an outward aspect of our thinking and how we feel inside. How our emotions are exhibited is a part of our individuality. We show our feelings in various ways: hap- piness may be expressed by a smile or by laughter, boredom and indifference may be demonstrated by a blank stare, and sad- ness may be represented by a tear. We are often judged by our actions so ex- pression is important to each of us and is widely valued. 6 THE TOTAL YEAR 41 Opening (1) Spectators at a soccer game show a variety of ex- pressions. (2) Martha French is captured while dress- ed in stripes for Spirit Week’s Dress Down Day. (3) Robin Reynolds represses laughter at the 1978 Mov- ing Up Day ceremonies. (4) After a senior play re- versal, Pam Littlebrant and Tyler Philips are found in good spirits. (5) Henry Leader (Henri Trouchard of the senior play), while looking over his lines, is in- terrupted by the photographer. THE TOTAL YEAR Opening 7 0 the soccer player 311€ endeavoring to pass hard at work on erad 8 THE TOTAL YEAR Opening (1) Kurt Wells, guided by Coach Glansberg, struggles to make a finish as Tim Lamere comes up from behind striving to keep his lead against a Massena runner in the last hundred yard sprint. (2) Coach Costanza looks out onto a tough football practice session and judges the preseason possibilities. (3) Stretching out before practice, anxious cross coun+ry run- ners prepare for their workout. (4) Confronted with a chal- lenger, Bill Hatch attempts to manuever by his opponent. (5) Trying to lower the pile of papers on her desk, Ms. Cas- per is hard at work. Opening THE TOTAL YEAR 9 FRUSTRATION ... is set backs, defeats, no where to go, to where to turn, and pressures. Whether it is a seemingly incalculable mathe- matics problem, spending a month working on a term paper, studying hard for a test and still doing poorly, or giving the game all you have got and los- ing, it seems frustration never ceases. It is present every day of the year, every day of our lives in some small way. Frustration may upset or infuriate us to the point of crying. The important thing to remember, how- ever, is that individual frustrations are temporary and fleeting; they can be overcome with personal effort, a group accomplishment, good friends, a loving family, or an understanding teacher to help you along. 10 THE TOTAL YEAR Opening (1) A Wildcat football player covers the ball with his body after an annoying fumble. (2) Junior high students rehearse for “The Belles of Horsefly Gulch. presented in the spring of 1978. (3) Coach Glansberg appears unhappy as his cross country team practices. (4) Disheart- ened. the varsity soccer team returns to the field after a half-time pep talk. Opening THE TOTAL YEAR 11 PARTICIPATION ... is involvement. It hinges on an individual effort and group spirit. Life demands participation; without it nothing is accomplished. Participation can be as simple as competing in a school activity or as complex as choosing a career. If you plan to get any- where in life you cannot be uninvolved; you have to get out and achieve. 12 THE TOTAL YEAR Opening (1) Mr. Goodale addresses the students at Moving Up Day 1978. (2) Mary Kitchin and Nancy Spilman help the juniors by serving refreshments at the 1978 Prom. (3) The brass sec- tion is enhanced by Henry Lead- er and his tuba. (4) The fresh- men of 1978 line up for aca- demic letters. (5) Waiting to move up, Jim Spencer and Norma McEathron stand with the rest of the junior class of 1978. (6) Maureen Fuller waits patiently for the closing comments at Moving Up Day 1978. Opening THE TOTAL YEAR 13 CALCULATION We create ... we participate ... we express ourselves ... we experience frustration ... we develop determination ... we find ourselves be- ing formed. Taken individually these aspects of life are meaningless; when we combine them they become an integral part of our personality and intellectual makeup. They form a unique- ness, a well-rounded or total individual. Life does not revolve around the individual, however. It takes many individuals and their ideas working together to make things function smoothly, to comprise a family, community, state, nation, or the totality of mankind. The school year 1978-1979 at Gouverneur Junior-Senior High School can be seen as a microcosm of this larger totality. In these pages you will find people—students, faculty, and supporters; you will recall the groups to which you belonged; the classes you took; as well as the activities, sports, and events you en- joyed. When combined together you will find memories . . . 1979 . . .

Student Councils GROUPS 75 Open Door Exchange Students Graciela (Grace) Mark and Guillermo (William) Winkler were participants in the Open Door Ex- change Program. Grace stayed with Martha Nor- ton and William stayed with Kathy vonColln. They stayed for two and one half months. Both observed the school to be more free. The classes in Grace’s school in Buenos Aires, Ar- gentina, are only in the morning, but a total of twelve courses are alternated through the week. William’s school day in Puerto Mont, Chile, lasts from 8:00 until 5:40 with an hour and a half for lunch at home. Neither schools have extra- curricular activites within the school. The people join athletic clubs to practice their sports. Grace and William found parties very different. The parties that Grace attends are more formal and have live bands. They dance and socialize throughout the night. A party in William’s city starts with a large dinner, then the people move to another room for dancing and socializing. The parties start much later and end in the early hours of the morning. Grace had never seen snow except on the top of mountains in the south of her country. Even though the temperature never drops below zero, William did not mind the frigid temperatures of the North Country. 76 GROUPS Open Door Exchange Students Promoting Relations . . . American Field Service sponsors two ex- change programs each year. A student from another country stays with a Gouverneur family, and a student from the high school goes abroad for the summer or a full year. This year Gerti Premm was the foreign exchange student from Austria, Linda Conklin was the American Abroads Returnee, and Richard Roe was the applicant for the upcoming summer program. AFS held events such as the welcome dance for Gerti, a Halloween party, a “Meet the Foreign Exchange Students” presentation, a house to house canvas, and a flea market.

She lived with the William Martin family for a year, experiencing US customs, holi- days and people on an upclose basis, and of course we got to meet her. She proved to be a warm, funny young lady who shared her homeland with us through her friendly ways and inform- ative talks. The students of GHS say thank you to Gerti for being such a good friend. Good Luck. Lori Rich recites her speech at the Jr. Honor Society Induction Ceremonies. 78 GROUPS AFS Exchange Program Honor Societies . . .

The club consists of twelve members who are presently or have been in french classes. For money making projects, the club members held a bake sale and sold candy. At Moving-up Day ceremonies, the club presents awards honoring outstanding french students. The Art Club, headed by Mrs. Appleby, is the best opportunity for young artists to improve their skills. Once a year the Art Club sponsors an art show in which the work of members and other students is shown. Members also get the chance to put on demonstrations during the show. This year for the first time the Art Club had a greeting card contest for the students in the school. Sitting: Alan Tuttle (Pres.), Claressa Murdie (V. Pres.).

The Marble Village Yorker Club is composed of stu- dents in grades 10-12 who are interested in local his- tory. Each year they design, research, and construct a project for the annual convention. This year the pro- ject was about the Gouverneur Marble Quarries and the special qualities of our marble. The the Varsity Club paid for towel fees and new pieces of sports equipment.

Friendship, rewarding, and satisfing are also words used to describe being on the yearbook staff. Being on yearbook takes quite a bit from you, but in return you get a growing feeling of accomplishment when the final product is read and enjoyed. Linda Conklin, Editor, and Sandra Owens, As- sistant Editor, with a small, but truly dedicated staff, have worked very hard on this year's Dean- onian. When Ms. Casper left in late January, Mr. Bet- rus became advisor. Even as you read this, next year’s yearbook staff has begun preliminary planning. 86 GROUPS Deanonian Staff Expanding Student Supplies In two years of operation the Student Store has expanded into a well stocked student sup- ply center.

Well, it is a true story of the real Enforcer, Mr. Gerald Peters. Due to penny pinching teachers in the High School teacher’s room, there is a need for a watchful eye on the coffee machine. GHS staff members are using the machine with- out paying it due monetary sums. Thus we call upon a man of judicious character to uphold GHS law, none other than Mr. Peters. So remember: pay for that coffee, and beware! Track, Softball HAPPENINGS 101 Warm Weather Winners . . . The Wildcat’s Golfers have been consistent contenders for League and Sectional honors.

The ability of a school our size to come in 3rd in state- wide competition gives testimony to the team, their coach, and the spirit of a fine basketball squad. On our home courts it was a different story. They won the Gouverneur Holiday Tourney, Northern Athletic Conference-Div. 1, Class A Sectionals, Class A Regionals, and the Central Conference in Utica. Eleven school records were broken, and two were tied by what could best be described as the hottest team to hit the court at GHS in a full decade.

The fresh- men wear pink, sophomores wear yellow, juniors wear blue, and the seniors wear white. The proud juniors are honored to accept the “key to the future” from the senior class.

The participants gave fine, polished per- formances under the expert direction of Mrs. Helen Heller. It was a memorable night of good humor and gripping suspense, well presented to a capacity crowd. In the first place tie, Stephen Heller presented a hu- merous, professional rendition of “Count Dracula,” by Woody Allen, and Scott Reddick gave an energetic presen- tation of Irwin Shaw’s “Bury the Dead”. In first place for the young ladies was Missy Putman as the irrepressible “Eloise at the Plaza,” by Ray Thompson. Second place went to Veronica Bergau’s spine-tingling oration of Ray Bradbury's “The Ravine”. Other honors went to Henry Leader with the amusing story of “Mrs. Packeltide's Tiger, by H. H. Munro, and Martha Norton with her imaginative portrayal of “Winnie-the-Pooh,” by A. A. Milne. Richard Roe caught the subdued humor of Woody Allen, acting out “The Scrolls”, and Joan Johnston was a kooky movie patron in “Away We Go” by Phylis Hypes. Alan Tuttle was sus- penseful in “The Pit and the Pendulum,” by Edgar Allen Poe, and Diane Calvani gave a dramatic performance of Eyes,” by Leota Black. The women behind the voices.

Ski Club HAPPENINGS 135 CONCLUSION After numerous upsets to this year’s staff- mid-year change of advisors, our yearbook re- presentative’s resignation, lack of materials, school closings, bomb scares — and dreadful conditions — no vacations, hours as late as one thirty A.M. and as long as ten and one half hours after school — the Deanonian emerged. Yearbook has its fun and happy times; it also encompasses many rough and negative mo- ments, but, with the maturity we have all gained, we have withstood these pressures so that it has supplemented our lives with knowledge and ex- perience in learning to work with others to pro- duce a book all can enjoy and treasure. I wish to express much thanks to the ever- helpful advisors, Ms. Casper (with her unyielding endurance) and Mr. Betrus (with all his jokes that kept us going those long, hard nights), each special member of the staff, and my able assist- ant editor, Sandy. Linda Conklin, Editor 136 THE TOTAL YEAR Closing The Deanonian Staff would like to acknow- ledge the following for their assistance with the yearbook: John Baz-Dresch Festival Florist GHS maintenance staff Lynn Moore Roy Philbrook Marc Reuss The Tribune Press Closing THE TOTAL YEAR 137 138 THE TOTAL YEAR Closing As advisor since January, this year's Deanonian has been quite an experience. Usually a delegator, I found myself in a position of work and more work. With several deadlines already missing, the pro- spects of an early finish weren’t very good. As the final days drew near, work increased steadily. With- out the diligence of Martha Norton, Richard Roe, Tim Carosi, Natalie Hogue, and Alan Tuttle, this yearbook would have been a long time in coming. For the past two years, Linda Conklin and Sandy Owens have almost single-handedly brought you your Deanonian. I think a warm thank you should be extended to these two hard working seniors whose wit, insight, and knowledge will surely be missed by everyone. I personally wish to thank Linda and Sandy for training next year's advisor, and still finding time to produce this book. Looking to next year, the Deanonian staff will be young, with fresh ideas. I feel confident that the 79-80 yearbook wilf be one of the finest available. A final word: Thanks again to all the staff, Ms. Moore for the use of her room, Mr. Berry for the use of his typewriters, and especially Linda and Sandy- Mr. Alan Betrus Closing THE TOTAL YEAR 139 RDVERT15ING PISTOLESI CLEANERS 51 Years Of Service In Gouverneur 24-Hr.
