Smith F a 'V: ♦V Jl 'r' v “A PERSON WHO ” Her cheerfulness was contagious, ond adults and students were enriched because they knew her and were loved by her.” -Mary Van Dessel We all remember Rosemary McNamara for the love and care she showed for people. She was always cheerful and brightened all those with whom she came in contact. The energy which she provided, was instrumental In the guidance and direction of so many young lives. As Principal Gilbert Dlum stated. ' She met them with a happy smile and a gracious greeting that made them know that this was a person who cared.” Her spirit and kindness live on in those who were privileged to have known her. For an only child who never married she hod an extraordinarily larqe family.” -Robert Paddock SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS The sense of relief thot occomponied the releose of the hosfoges held in Iron overwhelmed our reflections of the deeper meonings of whot hod token ploce. It is apparent thot the Iranians and the Americans viewed a series of prior events with different “sets of glasses ’ Despite those differences, legitimate or otherwise, innocent people were held hostage as pawns in an international struggle. The morality of terrorism is the disregard of the individual human being. Herein lies the distinction between our avowed form of government and those preveiling in too many ports of the world. At this writing, we are witnessing a resurgense of hate groups that scapegoat that Blocks, the Jews, the Catholics, and others. The mindless disregard of individual people and their worth is frightening to those of us who hove seen this pictured before in the 30's, and 40's, and 50's. There are no ready answers to the complex problems of prejudice.- knowledge, although helpful, seems inadequate in guiding the behavior of people. Our best hope lies in you. the young of this nation. You are the ones to weigh, examine, and then infuse your beliefs in democracy with the passion of vigilance in preserving the goals of this nation. Mortimer J.

We who have chosen to spend our lives in educating the young, wish that the time with us has provided each of you with the ability to go forth and meet the challenges of this demanding world. As you travel through life we hope that one central thought is crystal clear: That is, that you are responsible for you. There was never another you, nor will there be one in the future. Many of you have had the same experiences and there very likely will be similarities in the future. However, in the true sense each situation is and will be unique because it is happening to you. Children in the same household are also very different. Ask any parent. Just think, in all of recorded history there was never another you! The implication of this uniqueness is obvious. No one has the responsibility to do for you as much as you have. Others along the way may be willing and interested, but none can feel what you feel, envision what you envision, wish as you wish. You, without question, have the ultimate charge of being responsible for your future. We hope that you can meet this challenge and help make the world a better place for us all.

I LL THROW A BRICK THROUGH OUR TV SCREEN1 u j vVhU jhu i j.iv OUR YEARS AT SOUTH SENIOR Dy Mark Gesner Et Al Our Sophomore Year (1978-79) Filled with great expectations, we were all psyched up and ready to enter the big time - SENIOR High School! Open Campus, the Mirror Building, and Burger King were just some of the advantages that we had heard so much about, and were now ready to experience for ourselves. However, we soon learned there was to be more confusion and surprises than we ever anticipated -It was the library's first year with the famed book security system. Whether or not you were really stealing a book mode no difference; the gizmo went off so often that everyone became embarassed with the buzzer of some time or another. -As for os gym went, we were back to elementary school days where the guys and the gals played side by side. Co-ed gym - located at the ’East” or West” gym. -Early in the year we took port in the vote which ratified a new student constitution. Next we voted in the student government elections. But. due to the protest on a lost minute successful write-in candidate, that vote was voided. So we voted again - this time for keeps. Boy. just sophomores and we were already all voted oufl -What was everybody doing outside of school? Why, seeing the King Tut Exhibition, of course. That is except for comedian Steve Martin, who preferred to sing about the world renowned mummy. Our Junior Year (1979-80) Consolidation hits the Great Neck School System. A four year high school is created, and the Class of '81 becomes the last group to experience a three year high school. It was also a year in which . -Vandalism reached new heights, forcing Principal Gil Blum to threaten to impose closed campus. The student body responds by uniting in the boys' gym and setting up various committees which eventually save open campus. -The first annual Flower Day is a huge success as scores of students wait on line to send sweethearts their very best. -Classmates living in New Hyde Pork protest for an additional school bus as opposed to the pay bus which all tenth, eleventh, and twelfth graders ore forced to take . REQUEST DENIED. -President Carter puts the Selective Service System into effect. Great Neck answers with MAD (Mothers and Others Against the Draft). Several informational draft seminars are held at South os students are made aware of their present predicament. -The BAA. no the CAC. or was it the BSU - maybe the JJA??? No, it was definitely the GVC (Girls Varsity Club) who had that amazing carnival which freed us from classes and freed them from money problems. •Finally, the regents scandal. Social studies questions ore printed on the front page of the New York Post. Chemistry answers ore here, there, and everywhere. Our Senior Year (1980-81) Senioritis, acquiring licenses, and reaching the drinking age were just some of the benefits of being a senior. Patriotism fakes the place of apathy at South when 52 American Hostages are freed from 444 days of captivity in Iran. In every household a tear is shed for the death of Beatle member John Lennon .his music shall live forever. Meanwhile, back at the ranch . . -Adorned with the traditional Rebel colors, over thirty vehicles travel down Middle Neck rood to raise spirits and to celebrate the homecoming of the fall sports' teams. -For the first time ever a State Cross Country Meet was held at a public high school. Due to our school's beautiful and ample grounds, plus the encouragement from Coach Baratto. the honor of hosting this prestigious event was bestowed upon our alma mater! -Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells The spirit of the holiday season was in the halls and on the walls as art classes put their talents to use on the front hall windows. -Thanks to the Board of Education a touch of class is added to the G.P. room - wall-to-wall carpeting? -Title IX brought about a transition of four to three seasons for all girls’ sports. To the all-around female athlete, new decisions hod to be made as to which teams would take preference. -The threat of a closed campus finally became a reality for all ninth and tenth graders. As for us seniors, well, we were just sooo upset to hear the news. High School is only an interval in time. While if may seem to be an end, it is just the beginning.” •Unknown 116 118 JOHN.....................Daniel C.

Jodi Yedvob H O C K E Y Despite a seemingly disap- pointing 4-9-1 final record, the Girls Field Hockey team accomplished a great deal more than their re- cord would indicate. 1980 was both a year of rebuilding and of gaining experience for the pre- dominantly inexperienced squad. The Rebels got off to a slow start, but gained momentum as the sea- son progressed. Although they were narrowly defeated by Carey, the division leader, they were victorious over second place New Hyde Pork and the Levittown Division. Field Hockey coach, Doris McMahon was pleased with the spirit and enthusiasm which her team displayed throughout the season, and forsees a great future for them. The team will be hurt by the loss of seniors Janet Farhie and Lorena Trabucco. but is sure to emerge os a formidable opponent In future County competition. This season, the Great Neck South fac- ulty team upset the varsity squad by the score of one to nothing. 146 The Junior Vorsity Field Hockey Teom finished its seoson with o 2-9 record. Despite their losing record, the squad gained the experience which is sure to make for a powerful varsity team next year. Coach Carol Nesdill commented that in the beginning of the season, most team members were unable to control the ball, or handle the stick. By the season's end. however, the team had acquired the skills which will make them credible opponents in the future. 147 eo '—, F—, U, O O t-i °Q X Mike Darocos mokes the colls . . bur couldn't mean whor he said without prorection from some big buddies.

Deecham had a total of 7 touchdowns, followed by Andrew Klein with 2. and Gene Tricario, Eric Dittleman, and Jeff Steigman each with one.

In the 22 games, opponents outscored the Rebels by a cumula- tive total of only 17 points, and, in addition to two overtime games and two playoff gomes, nine differ- ent games were decided by less than ten points. It was certainly a season of streaks: five straight losses to open the season(all by six points or less), four wins in the next five games, then four straight losses, then four wins in five games......Emotions ran high, and injuries took their toll, but unusual comraderie and teamwork were always present. The highlight of the season was the big 80-69 over- time victory over South Side on orange tee-shirt nite , February 10. Led by Steve Altman's fantastic effort-all 35 minutes played. 37 points, 14 rebounds, six assists, five steals- the Rebels defeated the highly-rated team from Rockville Centre for the first time in Conference 3A history. Co-captain Altman enjoyed an outstanding season, leading the team in 11 of the 17 statistical categories (including points, assists, field goal percentage, and scoring average), and finishing a close second in the other six. The rest of the squad was characterized by depth; five other players scored more that 100 points, led by Jason Katz (176), Greg Gallagher (161). and co- captain James Eaddy (138 and 172 rebounds).

Mark Gesner and Jon Cohen) with a total of ten years of Varsity experience and combined over- ages nearing 175. they looked forward to making a strong run for the County title. With the addition of junior Jim Purcell, sophmore John Dodegge and returning ju- nior Andy Marcus, the team started off well. After an Initial loss, they regrouped and began a relentless attack on the rest of .'heir division. Anchorman Russ” McNulty caught fire, his con- ference-leading average soring to 196. The Rebels rolled on to a torrid streak of 18 straight wins. In the process of compiling an awesome record of 31-5, many outstanding individual records and performances were accomplished. McNulty finished with a career season avg. of 185.8. Mark Gesner rolled a personal and conference high game of 251! On the last day of the season, Purcell rolled a 590 series, another division high. Seniors Krauss. Gesner and Junior Purcell received All Division merits, while McNulty was hon- ored with All-County recognition. South easily won its sixth consecutive Divisional title, a re- cord. and the conference 3 title. That conference playoff will probably be remembered as the most exciting in the teams history. In four games, they outslugged powerful Levittown Division by a 971 team score (I94per man) in game 4. the deciding game. Finally, South placed fifth in the County Tournament for the second straight year as well as finishing in the top ten for the sixth straight year. Although disappointed at not finishing high- er, the team was pleased with the performance of senior Jon Cohen, who finished with a 182 avg. for the six games. High individual games included a 210 by Krauss, 206 by Gesner. 209 by Purcell and 201 and 203 by Cohen. Although South will be crippeled by the loss of four starters who will graduate this June, coach John Jones should be pleased with the potential and outlook of back up Andy Mar- cus, John Dodegge and Billy Kasoff, who each averaged over 160 this season.

With a final 11-7 record lost sea- son, the squad realized it had the po- tential to conquer the tough teams. However, it also had the problem of becoming too over-confident against the poorer competition. Speed and overall team experience enabled them to overcome this particular fault. Losing only three members to lost year's graduation, virtually the same club was put onto the field. Leading the offense were scoring sensations Druce Pollock and Lenny Phillips, both displaying several high caliber perfor- mances. (With 17 goals. Pollack was the top scoring junior in the 1960 sea- son.) All-Division defenseman Mike McCrindle. along with Milton Rodri- guez, anchored the team's defensive unit. Seniors Hubert Fenner. Mike Starr, Tommy Word and Coach Ed Ro- senthal, all played important parts in the team’s general marked improve- ment.

The squad benefited from seven vet- eran players such os starters Dennis Shokrian on attack, and David Gur- fein on defense. Also returning were Gene McCrindle, Jon Root, and David Montoya.

Although ten- nis is often considered an individual sport, this year's group united to be- come one of the most powerful forces in the County. Seniors Mike Robinson. Rob- ert Rubenstein. Andy Dymond.

TO THE CLASS OF 1981 Dear Class, As we approach the final days before graduation, we reflect on the experiences we hove shared during our years at Great Neck South. Our feelings are mixed between joy and sadness. We are happy to be entering a new world, very different from the one we have enjoyed for most of our school days. For many of us this means new environment, new challenges and new friends. There is sadness at leaving the security of our school, teachers and friendships. Now that we are leaving, we can confess that what we have learned at South was extremely valuable in getting us ready for the next stage of our lives. This could not have been accomplished without the guidance of our fine faculty. When you look through the pages of this book, I hope you will hear the voice and experience the memory of each picture as much as we enjoyed putting them together. It took the time and effort of many dedicated people to make it happen. Special Thanks to: Marcy Rothman- Without you this yearbook would not have been possible. The time and effort that you've given to this work was for beyond the call. You accepted all work that had to be done without hesitation. Lois Taub- Your dedication in organizing the entire senior section was greatly appreciated. In time of need, your were there to give more than was asked of you. Mark Gesner - You were an integral part of our winter and spring sports pages. The art of writing is a special gift. Thank you for shoring it with Vlsro. Noelle O'Flanagan - Thanks for your work, your friendship and your moral support. Marilyn Aiello and Jill Kreutzer - The funds would not have been possible without your hard work. Gregg Shore and Pam Wolf-Thank you for being reliable before a deadline. Robert Sternlieb, Beth Roland, David Gurfein and Michelle Neiman-Your artistic talent made this yearbook beautiful. Gillian Coulter, David Daren, and Joan Goldberg-The work that you suffered through was obviously well worth your while. Mr. Shallow - You are the true meaning of patience, dedication, honor and committment. What more can we ask of a master teacher. Mrs. Vigneux - Thank you for your help with the business part of this yearbook. Mr. Dlum - Thank you for your advice and assistance in the organization of Vista. Plus all the other editors and staff members who spent time preparing this book. I would also like to thank the class of 1981 for the good times we've shared. I will cherish these memories forever.
