On a regular school day we go through the periods either anticipating or dreading what is about to happen to us. We look forward to our favorite classes, study halls and lunch. We dread all of the major tests, seminars and term papers that are required. Student life includes being kicked out of the library by Miss Casciola for two weeks, being sent notices from the attendance office for study halls we did not cut, and all of the hassles of passes we must use to get ourselves in and out of classes. Student life is also a lot of fun things like going to football and basketball games and then to Friendly ' s afterwards. It ' s going shopping and meeting a group of friends at Exton Mall. It ' s working at the Girls ' Leaders car wash at Central Penn. Finally it is graduating from Great Valley to begin to explore new possibilities. 4 Introduction Becoming Independent i Our C ltFy Begins Its Third Century With Following the celebration of America ' s Bicentennial, 1977 marks a new beginning for the UniLed States. After leading the country out of many difficulties, Gerald Ford left the presidency. We start our next one hundred years with a new President who represents a different point of view from those of the past. Jimmy Carter is a peanut farmer Democrat from the Deep South who is definitely very different from any President to be elected in quite some time. He promotes a casual lifestyle by wearing jeans and flannel shirts and promises fireside chats like those of F.D. R. In the winter of 1976-1977 there was a major natural gas shortage throughout the United States. This was, in part, caused and intensified by extreme cold temperatures in even the south- ernmost states. Governor Milton Shapp was forced to close all Pennsylvania schools for three days in late January in order to conserve fuel. While students got a winter vacation, unemployment rose as many companies were forced to lay off workers. The effects of this winter ' s hardships will be felt far into the future. The new administration, severe winter weather and fuel crisis will help us develop a new vision and direction in years to come. 6 Introduction Carter And An Extreme Winter ctivities Are A Beginning Toward In high school students begin to understand themselves and how to interrelate with other people. Students can achieve this by various means. We may become involved in activities such as sports and clubs. By joining clubs we can learn how to do things for other people. Clubs usually have fund- raising for needy causes or they set up activities to obtain money for their own benefit. All activities are learning experiences. When taking part in sports, students learn how to work as a team as well as be competitive for our own benefit. Great Valley has a wide variety of clubs and sports to join which offer diversified activities. A- mong these activities are the Ski Club ' s annual trip to Vermont and International Friendship Club ' s International Weekend where exchange students from area schools visit Great Valley. Our activities help to learn to organize our time and assume responsibility. Running a dance or a charity drive puts us in touch with the community outside the school and furthers our ability to re- late with others as we begin our adult life. 8 Introduction Assuming Adult Responsibilities SBKiMf Students Begin Each Day Learning Academics can be divided into two aspects - the tangible and the intangible. The tangible includes the faculty and classroom activities. Our teachers affect us in many different ways as they guide us through the subject areas that m ake up our daily schedules. Some are stimulating; others merely routine, but we learn from all of them. They are the human part of our education. Classroom activities ranging from ninth grade required courses to tenth grade World Cultures ' term papers to eleventh grade health classes to senior physics and philosophical problems are all facets of our education. All of it helps us to begin to cope with the future. For some of us it is a basis on which to build our further education while for others it is a background with which to enter the real world . The intangible part of academics is the learning process which is what goes on in the heads of students and teachers. We can not touch it or see it but it is equally important for it is the way we begin to use and develop the knowledge we receive daily as we begin to he independent. 10 Introduction For The Future ' ' ' M m iSfe . . . In Dedication To 12 Introduction A Very Special Person . . . Dedication is the most appropriate word for this man. It embodies the total reelings that he has had for the Senior Class for the past four years when he began the task of sponsoring it. His enthusiasm and hard work has led the class through four Spirit Week competitions pro- viding the motivation to walk away with the victory jug every time. His support during dances and fund-raising activities has enabled the Senior Class to become a success. Through his organization and direction of both the Variety Show and Smorgasbord, the costs of Commence- ment and the Prom were greatly deferred. His efforts to formulate a feasible plan for a class trip only help to support his continuous dedication as a class sponsor. After four years of happiness as well as frustration, the Senior Class has become very close to Mr. Diorka. This same perseverance and determination have given Mr. Diorka a winning track team. As head coach of Great Valley ' s track teams, he built them into champions. Spring and Win- ter track have placed high in the Ches-mont standings under his direction as a coach. Mr. Diorka ' s Cross Country team rose to the top of Ches-Mont in 1975 and continued on to Dis- tricts and States both years. This record is a credit to his coaching ability. The Senior Class could never thank Mr, Diorka enough for all the things that he has done for them. He truly made their years at Great Valley interesting and worthwhile. And so to show their appreciation, the 1977 Musket is dedicated to Mr. Michael J. Diorka. . reach for the heavens and hope for 14 Seniors the future and all that we can be Mr. Diorka holds the coveted Spirit Jug for the fourth time. Dom and ' lI. Diorka show their true Italian background. Class Advisor Really Special Demanding. This is the one word that describes Mr. Diorka. He demands a great deal of him- self and demands a lot from the students he works with. He is one of the new teachers that is well known by all four grade levels at Great Valley. Some hate him, many love him; but all have a deep respect for the demanding teacher who is also the track coach, and the four year advisor for the Class of 1977. Mr. Diorka went all out as advisor for the Class of 77. Beginning in our freshman year he placed in us the desire to excel in all our endeavors. In our freshman year at Diorka ' s prodding, we sold more candy bars than any other class in previous years; and it contin- ued that way through our senior year. No matter how small the event Mr. Diorka pushed the class to get orders for more magazines or to sell more tickets. He made sure the event was always a success. The Class of 1977 never disappointed Mr. Diorka. We achieved all the goals he set before us. One of the greatest accomplishments was the winning of Spirit Week for four consecutive years. Though everyone said it couldn ' t be done, Mr. Diorka never voiced a doubt. Mr. Diorka deserves many thanks for all the invaluable help he has given our class. We really appreciate everything he has done for us. 16 Seniors Officers Help Make Year A Success The senior class officers are (L. TO RT. ) O. J. Hoard, President, Dave Rowland, Treasurer, Joan Fosnocht, Secretary and Mary Beth McLean, Vice-President. Joan Fosnocht is always laughing about something. Mary Beth McLean takes time out from one of her activities to smile. O. J. Hoard does his homework with Ken Liskey. In the senior year there are more activities than any other year of high school and being a senior class officer is a time-consuming and difficult job. The officer ' s meetings be- gan as soon as school started. The first fund-raiser to put to- gether was the fashion show. It started the ball rolling for a successful year. The officers often met with their advisor, Mr. Diorka to plan an ingenious strategy that helped the class win Spirit Week. Other activ- ities that the senior class had were the talent show, smorgas- bord, and the donkey basketball game. The seniors sponsored the District Wrestling Tourna- ment also. The parents of the officers co-ordinated the grad- uation party. Though the work was hard, all the officers en- joyed their job and did superb work making the activities a success. Seniors 17 Seniors Show Class In Fashion Show Mr. Diorka struts in style. Tori White wears the new gaucho look. The senior class fashion show presented on Oct. 19, was a smash success. The year ' s theme was The Best of Fall and Winter . It fea- tured every type of clothing from warm skiwear to for- mal evening attire. Mary Beth McLean was the co- ordinator of the fashion show and found outfits for the 55 seniors who were modeling in the show. These outfits were donated for the evening by various stores in the area. Many practice sessions were held so that the final show went smooth- ly. Announcers for the first half were O. J. Hoard and Jane Reeside. There was a short break for refresh- ments, then Tom Warren and Mary Ann Russell com- mentated the second part of the show. There was a large audience and the senior class raised a grand profit of over 800 doUars. Missy Rhoads and Cheryl Nippes wait for their turn on stage.

It was held in the auditorium on April 28 at 8 o ' clock, Mr, Czech organized the show and did a terrific job. The Variety Show was aptly named because there was certainly plenty of variety. The acts ranged from a magic show by Les Folio to a Jam with the Superband dance. There were many singing and instrumental acts. Plenty of comedy was provided by various senior boys in different skits. A strip tease act was put on by Ian Mansmann while Tom Warren played the kazoo. The announcers for the evening were Scott Woolford, Tom Warren, and Eric Rudolph. A brief ballet (com- plete with tutus) was put on by some of the male teachers of the school. The customary finale was led by Mr. Czech and the senior boys. Mr. Czech played the guitar and everyone sang, Good old Mountain Dew. . . •ifi isM IHtf ' .-- ' V r ,•■ ' -- x .Ui ' Mi uA The boys sang, I ' m a lumberjack and I ' m okay.  y ki-nt f 1 X Ian Mansmann wiggled his hips as he strutted across the stage.

A Touch Of Class A Touch of Class was the theme for the Class of 1977 ' s Senior Prom. And class it had. The prom was held on the evening of the Annual Senior Award AssemlDly, June 10. Something new was added this year as the prom was held at the Brandywine Hilton in Del- aware. This was the first time Great Valley ever had a prom outside of Pennsylvania. Great music was provided by Desire and the dance floor was always crowded with enthusiastic dancers. A large buffet dinner, including such delicacies as Seafood Newburg, Beef Stroganoff and Chicken Cacciatorie, was served until 10 o ' clock. There was plenty for all and no one went away hungry. Souvenirs came in the form of a charm necklace for girls and a keychain for the boys. Fancy dinner menus were also at each place set- ting. With or without souve- nirs it was a night all will remember. Allan Zacarda and Cheryl Eitel enter the Hilton with Barbara Mealand and Dave Hunt, looking fresh and eager for the prom. The large buffet served looked almost too good to eat. Almost. Sue and Steve enjoy a slow dance. 22 The dance floor was filled with enthusiastic dancers for most of the night. An obviously happy couple. Desire provided the enjoyable music for the evening. All forms of dancing could be seen. A crowd gathered to cheer two dancers on. Dancing wasn ' t all that went on. A Beginning And An End Commencement --the word means beginning but somehow it also feels like the end. This was the end of Great Valley ' s Class of 1977. June 20, 1977 will always be remembered as the beginning of a new stage of life for this class. Graduation went smoothly until interrupted by a downpour that had been threatening all evening. Many had to recieve their diplomas in the auditor- ium. Spirits weren ' t dampened however as most of the class attended the party afterwards at the White Manor Country Club. Fond farewells were said as each went off to their new beginning. Proud relatives and friends make up the crowd of spectators at graduation. Smiles are big as the class walks on the field. There are no words to describe Bob Mannarino ' s expression. Cheryl Nippes helps Sue Sandorff with her corsage. 24 r 1 • 1 i i A Steve Zucker, the class Yaledcitorian, speaks on Responsibilities.

We won Spirit Week four years in a row. Our able sponsor, Mr.Diorka, had planned months in advance for the annual competition. He also planned to sell a Spirit Week Strategy book to anyone who was willing to pay the price. Many spirited seniors spent weeks ahead of time working on posters in a church base- ment till well over eleven o ' clock at night. In reward of all our hard work, we were able to win the clothing drive and penny collection to contribute to a worthy charity. We also showed our style by winning the clothing days --Red, White, and Blue Day and Blue and Gray Day. On the climatic day, seniors went all out with various forms of costumes involving bal- loons and streamers . Everybody helps put up posters. LAWRENCE R.

Jeff warned the juniors that there would be no junior prom unless enough candy was sold to cover the cost. Juniors promptly took advantage of the public ' s sweet tooth and Chelle had piles of money to count. The treasury again gained weight with profitable canteens in the winter. The theme this year was juniors take heed. In the Spirit Week pep rally ju- niors cheered the loudest in three years and painted high quality posters. Their inner strength began to surface, giving others confidence in the next senior class.

Chemistry, how can it be des- crLbed: It is the subject in which stu- dents are introduced to the wonders of the mole and are lucky enough to wear the latest chemistry fashions: lab aprons and goggles. Almost as popular as Mr. Kocher ' s definition of culture is the fact that there are 6.03 X 10 ' 23 particles per mole. The student soon becomes accustomed to the ever present question, Do you know what we ' re doing? followed by the inevitable answer, No. One problem that every chemistry student will face at one time is finding some- one to centrifuge with. I2ven worse is having your 500 milimeter beaker slip from your hands and hearing it shatter into a million pieces. What is the poor chemistry student to do? Sweep the floor.

Juniors Cheer Up During Spirit Week, many devoted juniors worked long hours painting bright, florescent posters and rounding up red, white, and blue clothes to increase their point total, Scott Nodland donated his expertise to win the pie-eating contest and juniors placed sec- ond in the volleyball game. Ln January, they picked up the ball again, but this time to play basketball on donkeys. Tom Jackmon and his furry friend scored many points to defeat the sophomores and the seniors. When con- fronted with the faculty, the juniors lost, but that ' s just the way the ball bounces! Laura Helker with a friend. A chorus of juniors burst forth. Spirits Jeff Loudin and Karen Vail.

Sophs Clean Up The School Performing yet another valuable service to the school are class officers (L--R) Wendy Hughes, Bettie Lombardo, Maureen Finn and Lee Krasley. Without determination the sophomores could not have had such a rewarding year. Directed by president Lee Krasley and vice-president Wendy Hughes, the class of ' 79 put out a big Spirit Week effort. The magazine sale was a success because of the good policies of treasurer Maureen Finn and secretary Bettie Lombardo. The tenth grade also owes a lot to Mr. Martynick and Mrs. Bartlett, who guided the class toward its goal of mak- ing money for a trip in its senior year. Strongly rooted, the sophomore class will con- tinue to play an important role at Great Valley. Soph Vips! Berry, M. (sophomore queen) Yonkoske, M.

So went the cries when members of the class of ' 79 examined the insides of crayfish and frogs. V ith probes and tweezers sophomores tried desperately to locate fat bodies in slithery frogs. Oh, C ' mon! This thing ' s supposed to look like me! No chance, at least I have ear lobes! Later sophomores studied the human digestive tract and learned the blood has six functions. Tradition tells us that at 15 years of age every male and female at Great Valley must be subjected to the changing moods of a stream bed. Drowned womis find their way into sneakers, and stream ve- locity is measured by escaping clipboards. Believe it or not, there are supposed to be worse things!

Students are not so bogged down by required sub- jects, and the sky is the limit. Elec- tives give tenth graders a look at careers in the social sciences and a chance to broaden tlieir horizons. Tapes, field trips, and guest speak- ers teach them Oral and Local His- tory, Anthropology and Afro-Amer- ican History. Introduction to Behavioral Sci- ences is popular. Sophomores be- come familiar with the actions of groups and individuals. By the end of the year, the other grades are at the mercy of perceptive sophomores. r? :5 £.■ f ff Mr. Stoltz explains the skull structure of a pre- historic man to his student. f Sophomores 79 Sophs Sit, Smile, Stomp and Shout Edwards, L.

Ice cubes, antacid, and sodium chloride be- come household words in many homes of ninth graders, while they experiment with different forms and types of matter. Each week, during five action- packed periods, students play the parts of real scientists by mixing ele- ments and weighing the results. IXiring the sludge experiment, ninth graders bring together dif- ferent techniques that were learned in order to separate my- sterious solutions into their components. Accidents occur: run-away beads, bottomless test tubes, and scorched thermometers drive many a young scientist raving mad or send him to the poorhouse. Generally though, students leave at the end of the year with a fresh view of the physical world and they are ea- ger to learn more about it. Mr. Watson shows his students how to obtain results.

Upper classmen stomped the salesmen to gather wrappers, which were coupons for almost free meals at Chick-fil-A. On Homecoming, October 16, an artistic freshman float won first place.

They are joking about The Blue Men of Africa , one of many movies seen in World Cultures I. Mr. Herr teaches P. O. D. and coaches football. This year he originated a new social studies elective entitled Law and Jus- tice. If you have ever had Mr. Hickman you know that he ' s asking senior, Doug Young, Areyou sure you ' re saying what you mean? . Mr. Hickman teaches his students to communicate more effectively, in speech and in writing. Englishman ' s Viewpoints On America This year we were fortunate to have an exchange teacher from England. Biology teacher, Mr. Robert McCarter, traded places with Mr. Arthur Grant of Canterbury. Commenting on our school Mr, Grant said that he disliked the use of passes and forms which treat stu- dents like children. He felt that we have a modern and efficient system of adininistration, but that it may de- stroy the soul of the school with it ' s tendancy to com- puterize and create bureaucracy. He said he liked the vivacity of American students. They differ from Eng- lish students in that they must be shown how to solve problems, rather than thinking it out. Mr. Grant described his strangest experience in America as a pep rally. He claimed that it reminded him of a combination of the French Revolution, a disco- theque, and a football game. We all enjoyed Mr. Grant ' s wit and constructive criticisms. Mrs. Keegan is head of the English department. This year she led a group of students and teachers to a series of plays at the Walnut Street Theatre. Culture is the sum total of the learned behavior in any given society. It is because of Mr. Kocher that none of us can ever forget this definition of culture. Academics 99 Drama Guild Thanks Mrs. M To a curious onlooker, it would appear that theatre is Mrs. Nancy Lee Miller ' s one love. Fortunately for us she finds many creative and constructive outlets for this passion. For example Mrs. Miller sponsors Great Valley ' s Drama Guild. Each year, the Drama Guild puts on a pro- duction in conjunction with the music department. Mrs. Miller usually directs it. She devotes practically all of three months to this, giving all of her time, her skills, her knowledge, and herself. And each year she vows, I ' ll nev- er do it again! , at least, not until next year. Mis. McDowell first taught at G. V. last year as full time substitute. This year she gradu- ated to a full time English tea- cher. -i0W Mrs McMichael smiles as her French students look on. She teaches advanced levels of French and Compara- tive European Lit. . Throughout the year she has French dinners for her students. In the spring she heads a trip to France. Mr. Marion, the head foot- ball coach, is shown here in familiar attire. He teaches Advanced Gym when he isn ' t out on the field coaching. Mrs. Rita Miller of the math depart- ment enjoys teaching Algebra II and Trig, along with telling of extranious and erronous problems. Mrs. Nigro, who teaches part time En glish, contemplates her students. Mr. Nodland not only helps out students in shop but also coaches wrestling during the winter. 100 Academics Mr. Kramer points out a fact about the Industrial Revolu- tion. He teaches U. S. His- tory and helps with Boys ' Interact. Mr. MacFarland instructs senior Ed Altonji on how to cut a pipe while it ' s in a vice. He is one of four industrial arts teachers. Mr. McAfee checks his attendence list in quiet study hall in the Fish- bowl. He teaches in the mathe- matics department. Mr. Mark glances around the room as his class takes a test. If you have him for class you ' ll know that he is famous for his ten-question tests. Miss Martin looks as if she is enjoying planning for her child care class She runs the nursery school program and is also head of the home ec. dept. Mr. Martynick, our calm, cool, and carefree chemistry teacher, relaxes as his class does pro- blems. This teacher, also noted for his neat handwriting, is sophomore class sponsor. Mr. Procopio helps out senior Kathy Moriarty in her effort to measure a soil sample. He heads the trip of both the Agricultural Science and Mr. Grant ' s Bio. II classes to Wallops Island in the spring. Mrs. Onderdonk enjoys teach- ing college writing as well as many other English courses. She also helps arrange Drama Guild theater trips. Mi. Rhoads the exciting young band director has brought much improvement to the band in the past two years. His broad smile is well known to all band students. Academics 101 Mrs. Ronnermann relaxes and chats with her pupils. Her warm smile is familar to every- one who knows her. She teaches physical science courses such as I. P. S. and I. I. S. . In the spring she coaches Softball. Mr. Ruess helps Kathy Nields with a prob- lem. Anyone in physics knows it must be pretty straight-forward . As the sole tea- cher of physics Mr. Ruess has a lot to con- tend with. Mr. Sach is an industrial arts teacher. In this picture he and one of his students play with blocks. Mrs. Skibbe demonstrates a tennis stroke as senior, Ann Voltz, looks on. As a physical education teacher she instructs everything from tennis and golf to slim- mastics and dance. She also teaches Health and is co-sponsor of the Ski Club. Mr. Smith teaches U. S. History, Oral Local History, and Current Problems. He has planned several field trips and guest speakers for the electives. One of three French teachers at Great Valley, Miss Smith smiles while listening to a student recite a verb conju- gation. ] As retired Director of Student Activities, Mr Sprague enjoy- ed getting back to teaching this year. The gerbil, one of his best students, is a teacher ' s pet. Miss Steele in a typical pose has her typical Boy are you dumb! expression on her face. Anyone who ' s ever had her for a writing course is probably a better writer for it, despite the anguish. She is hard to please. Miss Steele sponsors the Labyrinth. Mr. Stemple is affectionately known as Zoom by soccer players and students alike. In addition to being head soccer coach and ski race team spon- sor, he teaches math. 102 Academics Smilingly, Mr. Sapone condescend; to let the photog- rapher snap his picture. As head of the social studies department, Mr. Sapone is kept busy with many res- ponsibilities. He teaches U.S. History and Social Science Seminar. Mr. Schucker graces us with a rare smile. He spends his days teaching chemistn ' , in- cluding Chem. B and Chem II. In the spring he coaches boys ' Tennis. Mrs. Seymour ' s specialty is French. She teaches four different levels and exposes her students to such interest- ing activities as cheese tast- ing. Mrs. Snyder is a member of the math department. She is teaching computer for the first time this year. Mrs. Stewart one of G. V. ' s new P. E. instructors, takes a delight in teaching coed gym. She also doubles as the girls ' gynmastic coach. The Fourth Dimension Mr. Snyder is one of Great Valley ' s more unusual teach- ers. He is the kind of teacher you will tell your kids about twen- ty years later. He is usually working on some philosopical prob- lem in the back of his mind. As you walk into his class he ' ll say, I ' ve almost grasped the fourth dimension, and proceed in a lengthy, complex, and detailed explanation most of which will be far beyond your capacity for understanding. As he would say on the fringes of human thought . The most enjoyable part of Mr. Snyder ' s class is often the tangents he explores. In his Philosophical Writing class one day he went from the inherent inconsistency of sin to time-travel paradoxes, A fantastic story teller, he will sit on the desk in the front of his room, drinking tea from his therm- os, and recount the latest exploit of his baby son Joshua This year Mr. Snyder spent many hours planning and in- structing the new seminars for gifted students. He deserves thanks for this and many other things he ' s done for students at Great Valley. Academics 103 i ■? . Most of us remember our tenth grade research paper with at least a little bit of pride. Mr. Stoltz helped some of us survive the agony of note cards and outlines.

He came to Great Valley from General Wayne this year. He teaches in the mathematics de- partment. New Administrator Joins Como, Kase, And Esbrandt In his position as assistant principal Mr. Cilo is con- cerned primarily with dis- cipline. He also helps Dr. Esbrandt and Mr. Kase with teacher evaluations and school policy. Mr. Cilo has had previous experience with both teaching and adminis- trative work. Dr. Esbrandt and Mr. Cilo confer at a pep rally. Dr. Esbrandt has final responsi- bility for everything that goes on in the school. Throughout the year he coordinates the budget, evaluates teachers, works with the SRB on student problems, etc. Mr. Kase has been a vice- principal for two years so he enjoyed a chance to substitute teach Mrs. Adam ' s Calculus class. Mr. Kase is in charge of curriculum and scheduling. Mr. Como enjoys an apple. He is Director of Athletics. We often see him in coun- sel with various athletes, coaches, and administrators. Academics 105 Debi Page relaxes with a book. Library Or Lounge? The library is not, we are told, a social center; yet it cer- tainly is a congenial environment for socializing. The librarians, Mrs. Baldwin, Miss Cassiola, Mrs. Winters, and Mrs. Bernardin, are reasonably tolerant of our antics and always willing and able to help when we really are working. They always know just where to find what we ' re looking for. The facilities, including everything from magazines to micro- film, provide much opportunity for research. The library contains some bit of information on nearly every topic you can think of. It is an important part of our education to learn to use the library resources. Miss Cassiola confers with students. As Lynette and Karen become more engrossed in their work the books accumulate, ii i ' . .A 1 K ' Guidance Dept. Establishes Guidelines For Future The guidance dept. pro- vides services which run the gamut from setting up college conferences to standardized testing. Through them we can arrange to be tutored or to be counsel ed on future plans. The constant badgering of our coun- selors provides us with the in- centive to get those college ap- plications in the mail! In addition to all this it is always fun to spend a study hall browsing through catalouges and planning your future as we see Tim Sackinheim doing at right. 106 Academics Megan Bailey looks surprised that someone has interrupted her typing. Mrs. Grande and Mrs. Frey. Practicality Of Business Programs Is Obvious We often find ourselves asking our math and English teachers, ' T3ut what GOOD is the quadratic formula to ME? or Who cares about the message in WAR AND PEACE? These things don ' t mat- ter in REAL LIFE ! One can ' t, however, ask his typing teacher, When in the world will 1 possibly use typing in my career? This is because the courses offered by the business department reap tangible benefits. They prepare students for jobs straight out of high school. It is possible for students to revolve their schedule entirely around a business curriculum. In fact, the business de- partment is a whole different world. Adele Moulden surreptitiously erases an error. Amy Quay is engrossed in her typing. A smile from Mr. Whitcraft. i - V .EP Miss Ebert advises students. It doesn ' t look like anybody ' s reading in this reading class! English Department: Back To Basics This year marked t±ie beginning of a new system for G. V. ' s English dept. The new program is designed to insure that students reach a certain level of competency before moving on. The stress is on taking a position and argueing logically for it. When the first competency exams were administered some students found, to their dismay, that it was no joke. Once a student has moved past the level I area he has a wide range of courses to choose from. One can study journalism, poetry, drama or novels. With all this choice a student is bound to find something that interests him! Student-teacher conference A good story highlights an English class. Theme Readers Advise Students Theme readers work closely with students on their writing. They come weekly to collect new pa- pers or to help rework old ones. 108 Academics Foreign Languages Broaden Our Horizons B lla PORT E S Language classes are conducted both formally and informally. Students share the fruit of their labor. Anyone who has ever taken a language course knows how hopeless it feels to be swamped with grammatical exercises and verb conjugations. He tru- ly understands the phrase It ' s all Greek to me! However, if one manages to survive these somewhat grueling exercises, he is amply rewarded: foreign languages provide students with an opportunity to round off their education. Students are exposed to and study in depth, not only another language, but another country, another culture, and another lifestyle. Learning ex- periences are not restricted to the classroom. Students also spend time in the language lab improving their auditory skills. As a student teacher, Madame Adrien, a native speaker from Africa, offered insight into the French culture. f Academics 109 Future Scientists Forge Their Beginnings Great Valley harbors an en- thusiastic science department. Activities range from the sludge test in 1. P. S . , to the frog dis- section in biology, to labora- tory explosions in chemistry, all culminating with calculating the velocity of the moon in physics. Excursions with science classes take students away from the classroom as they explore the terrestial and aquatic vistas of the world. When students are less than entralled with science, they may end their frustration after two years. . . and, for those somewhat -crazed but serious science students, advanced lev- els of biology, chemistry, and physics are available for them to pursue. By taking advantage of the various offerings of the science department students have an opportunity to learn a- bout their bodies and their en- vironment on both the atomic and planetary level. Mr. Ellis demonstrates frog dissection. Cham. II challenges Andy and Jim. iiik I. p. S. students attempt a lab. Mr. Grant helps Joe with a problem.

Mathematics Courses Help Us To Think Logically Taking into consideration vary- ing needs and levels of ability, the math department offers something for everbody. We can acquire just basic computational skills or ex- plore advanced mathematics in cal- culus. Mathematics teaches us discip- line, as well as logic. Many of those difficult problems require nothing more than stick-to-it- iveness. Math provides us with a better understanding of the tech- nological society in which we live. Students wait apprehensively as Mr. Stemple relates their test grades. Computer Programming Makes A Beginning For Us In Technology G. V. ' s computer gives students a special opportunity to learn the basics of programming. Tasks range from determining bio-rhythms to air plane reservation systems. Ill Academics Social Studies Classes Teach Culture, Politics, Etc. Each year the scope of the social studies curriculum narrows until it focuses on the U S government alone. We begin by learning about other cultures, then the history of ' our own country- and finish off by trying to understand the intricacies of our govern- ment and economic system. We are also given the opportumt - to explore other areas in the social sciences through a variety of electives. The social studies teachers make good use of audio visual aids. They also involve their students m group activities. It is through social studies classes that we learn to conduct research. Social studies classes are an important part of our high school curriculum. Mr. Sapone in deep reflection. Mr, Kocher-incognito. What? Did somebody say something? 3 Mr, Kocher-cognito.

For those people less musically inclined, the music department offers courses in the history and theory of music. Voice training and guitar lessons broaden the music program.

It offers every- thing from drawing, to ceramics, to jewelry, and, the com- paratively new contract system enable you to try almost any project. With four very talented teachers students are offered many different perspectives in various areas of work, the system has shown much success so far and has helped stu- dents to expand and develop their talents. Amy Purcell deliberates. Concentration is the key. Painting requires attention to detail. Handiwork . . . The industrial arts department consists of three basic shops: wood, metal, and drafting. The prerequisite course. General In- dustrial Arts, teaches students how to use all the tools and how to operate all the machines. From there, the students are on their own. Most of the wood shop projects are bowls, clocks, and var- ious pieces of furniture. Metal shop students specialize in lamps, trays, spoons, and tables. Drafting students go so far as to de- sign buildings. Students are willing to lend a helping hand. Rich DeRafelo doesn ' t act handicapped. 114 Academics Following the directions step-by-step is the best insurance for a successful gar- ment. Living . . The home economics dept. has a comprehensive program for teaching students everything essential to survival. There are courses in clothing, cooking, child development, consum- er education, and survival for singles. Survival courses teach students everything from how to sui-vive on a low income to how to invest any money they might have saved. The food labs emphasize the importance of nutrition and a balanced diet, as well as how to cook. Sewing classes have an opportunity to compete in fashion shows outside the school. The consumer ed. classes make good use of the community as a resource for their various projects. Home Ec. courses are very appli- cable in our lives for the present and the future. Haircutting demonstrations Troy Pitts can ' t wait to try it. Nursery School Children Entertain Students In the Child Development courses students gain insight into child psychology. This knowledge can be put to use with actual children during the second semester. G. V. boasts a unique nursery school pro- gram. The children, age four, come in two or three times a week to entertain Miss Martin and her students. 3: i:- ' ' Tr- l The first step in buliding a dome is to lay out the base. Neither Michele Gardner-Smith nor Mr. Snyder seem very sure about what they ' re doing. Gifted Students Build Dome Under a new interpretation of the special ed. laws it became neccessary this year to provide a special program for students of exceptionally high ability. The program this year was designed to supplement rather then replace the usual curriculum. The gifted program offered students a chance to learn in ways not frequently encountered in the usual high school situation, centering on four types of strategies for acquiring knowledge. The theme changed the second semester when Utopian Society was the theme. The students read and discussed Utopian literature in order to develop the ethics, mores, and values of such a society. Once this was accomplished they worked on designing housing, cities, energy systems, and transportation to support and maintain that ideal life style. Geodesic domes and solar energy are specific exam- ples of topics the students explored. Here Steve Zucker bolts a strut to a hub. The hubs are what hold the dome togeth- er. The last bolt is tightened and the dome is together! A skin for the dome was constructed. Boys And Girls Get Together For Gym Continuing witli the co-ed- ucational classes instituted last year, G. V. ' s physical ed- ucation program is very suc- cessful. It provides students with an opportunity to parti- cipate in many sports. Through this elective program students have fun in a more relaxed at- mosphere with more student- teacher contact contributing to the learning experience. Gym rounds out our education. Ultimate Frisbee was a new game introduced to upper- classmen this spring. Volleyball- the thrilling sport that people can ' t seem to get enough of (at least, the gym teach- ers can ' t. ) Students can learn the rules, the pla- dng tech- niques, and the form of tennis in gym classes during the fall and spring. Here Lies . . . Responsibility For The District Dr. Dale Tyson is our superintendent. He is at the top of the administrative ladder in the district. The school board is the governing body of the school dis- trict. Their role is vital since they hold final responsibility for all actions within the district. During monthly meetings the community is able to find out what is happening in the school system and also to voice their opinions. Communica- tions between students and school board improved this year through two Meet the School Board Evenings. E li.

How many students know the names of the secretaries who keep every- thing in order, the janitors who keep everything clean, and the cafeteria workers who feed the hungry masses? These dedica- ted servants who are never in the spotlight deserve much ap- preciation and many grateful thanks. Who really runs Great Valley? Anyone in the know knows that it ' s not Dr. Esbrandt or Mr. Kase. It ' s Mrs. Garri- son. This capable sec- retary can answer just about every question about just about everything.

Harriers Sprint To Ches-Mont Title Coach Mike Diorka ' s motto of Pride and Tradition inspired the 1976 Great Valley Cross Country Team to repeat as league champions -- not a simple task. The harriers compiled a 9-0 record to move their list of dual meet victories to 27 straight and assure them of a second consecutive Ches-Mont League title. The 1976 team did not have the natural ability of the 1975 squad, but much dedication and sacrifice, along with many hours of summer running, enabled the harriers to be successful. The team also participated and placed in three invitational meets: the Conrad Weiser Invitational, where it took second, and the Neshaminy and Steel City Invitationals, where it took third each time. Because the Patriots won the Ches-Mont, they were eligible to compete in the District I Meet and finished third in a field of fifty. That fine showing in turn notched Great Valley a spot in the P. I. A. A. State Meet for the second straight year. The Pats went on to earn a tenth place position. The leadership roles fell to a pair of consistent seniors, co- captains Bob Voorhees and Jim Dewey. Voorhees took several firsts and stacked up 62 points to lead the team in scoring. Fel- low seniors Ken Kapner and Dan Skane also turned in steady per- formances. The future looks bright for GV as well, with Tom Bailey, Shawn Brown, and Matt Davis, all fine runners, return- ing to carry on the legacy.

Varied injuries and a disappointing upset at the hands of the Henderson Warriors cost the team a title, but Bill Marion ' s gridders finished as league runners-up with a 9-2 record, the best in the school ' s history. The squad led the Ches- Mont in scoring, and John Herr ' s defensive unit was second to only that of the Downingtown Whippets. One of the highlights of the season was an impressive thrashing of the highly touted Whippets, as the Pats put on an awesome offensive and defensive display. Coaches Marion, Herr, Crisi, and Honig received stand-out performances throughout the year from captains Rich DeRafelo, Ken Liskey, and Steve Dixon. Brian Stackhouse, the fourth cap- tain, played well before sustaining a costly knee injury. De- Rafelo headlined the action, and was honored by the Ches-Mont League as a first team running back, linebacker, and place kicker. He was also awarded honorable mention as a punter. In the backfield with DeRafelo was Liskey, a hard runner and fine blocker who earned honorable mention status for his offensive abilities and first team recognition as a defensive halfback. DLxon, the other linebacker, led the team in tackles and also received honorable mention. Rounding out the Patroits list of All Ches-Mont honorable mention selections were Steve Flather, as a defensive back, and Maganas, as an offensive tackle. Coach Marion on the phones.

Tliat finish might have been even better if number one golf- er Brett Donbach had not been sidelined midway through the year with a broken leg. Don- bach and fellow seniors Hell- mut Theil, John Hopkins, Jim HoweU, Al Koons, and Craig Tosh, along with sophomore Chip Buddin, turned in con- sistently good performances in each match throughout the season. 1976 GOLF TEAM: STANDING: Al Koons, Frank McDevitt, Curt Schollenberger, Mike McQuiston, Jeff McQuiston, Bonnie McQuiston, Coach Agostini; SITTING: Hellmut Theil, Brett Donbach, Chip Buddin, Craig Tosh, Kevin Joyce; FRONT ROW: John Hop- kins, Jim Howell, Dave Donahower Brett Donbach, the team ' s best golfer, before his injury.

Stickgals Drive To Third Place Finish The girls ' hockey team continued its winning tradition with another fine showing in 1976. Second year head coach Sallie Moulder and rookie assistant Rose Marie Gentile, aided by sen- ior co-captains Lynn Harper and Marie Martino, guided the squad through a 7-2-1 season to a share of third place in the keenly competitive Ches-Mont League. The girls got off to a slow start, scoring only three goals in their first four games, before playing some outstanding and exciting late-season hockey. Offensively the team was led by high scorers Ann Voltz, Nan Satterfield, and Martino, along with fellow line players Betsy Wagner, Donna Quay, and Lisa Romig. Halfbacks Barb Pearson, Karen Vail, and Harper, and fullbacks Joan Fosnocht and Joan Aker piloted the defensive effort. Goalie Miki Burns performed consistently well all year. Special recognition goes to Harper, Fosnocht, and Voltz, all of whom were All Ches-Mont first team selections.

The booters played .500 ball in the Ches-Mont League, and their 5-5 circuit mark was good enough to clinch third place. Included in the non-league defeats were several valiant efforts against some of the area ' s finest soccer squads; the Pats displayed great hustle and ability in falling to Ridley, Octorara, and Nether Provi- dence all by one goal margins. Coach Stemple ' s ' 76 line-up was a young one and many sophomores and juniors saw a lot of playing time. Heading the list of able underclassmen was junior co-captain Scott Daiutolo, the team ' s leading scorer. Daiutolo also placed second in league scoring and was rewarded with All Ches- Mont first team laurels. Fellow captain Hank Johnson and junior fullback Chip Myers likewise garnered first team honors. Johnson, an outstanding senior attacker, was also named to the All Suburban Philadelphia Team. Also receiving All Ches-Mont recognition were Patriots Mark Brotherton and Bill Jones, both named to second team, and Steve Zucker, Bruce Houston, and Bob Cluck, all of whom earned honorable mention. Most of these fine players will be back, so the fu- ture does indeed look bright for GV soccer! Sophomore Mark Brotherton moves in on the net.

The 1916-11 varsity cheerleading squad possessed two particularly attractive assets -- classy new uni- forms and talented personnel to fill them. The twelve member unit received guid- ance from its three sponsors, Mrs. Goodrich, Mrs. Cala- bro, and Mrs. Stewart, while captain Xenia Po litis and CO- captains Carole Tliomas and Janet Burns lent on-the- field leadership. The girls tried out for the squad in the spring of 1976, began practicing in August, and managed to get it all together by the start of the fall sports season. The cheerleaders shouted their support at all varsity football and soccer games in the fall and boys ' basketball and wrestling con- tests through the winter months. Somehow they also found time to practice twice a week, make stacks of post- ers, and generally keep eveiyone high spiritied and R-0-W-D-I-E!!

Girls ' Basketball Leaps To Championship Great Valley ' s second 1976-77 Ches-Mont League title was earned by a talented group of girls ' basketball players. Sally Dietz ' s Patriots overcame both a lack of experience and an ab- sence of height in compiling a 13-2 regular season record and a 17 -4 overall mark. A twelve game win streak that included several late -season comeback victories boosted the squad to its third circuit crown in four years and an accompanying PIAA tour- nament berth. Division I rival and eventual state champion Nor- ristown was, however, quick to snap the streak with a first round bombardment. The champions were led in their quest by senior tri -captains Lynn Harper, Marie Martino, and Beth Darby. Darby was plagued by injury for most of the season, but Harper and Martino proved a tough backcourt pair. While ballhandler Martino directed the attack, Harper ' s sharp shooting earned her first team All Ches- Mont honors. Junior forward Gwen McKeon led the team in scor- ing, pulled down countless rebounds, and was also named to the first team. Honorable mention went to junior center Chelle Mow- ery for her consistent all around play. Sophomore stand-outs Maureen Finn and Sarah Heilman shared the fifth position and both made key contributions in high pressure situations. This wealth of able underclassmen makes it safe to state that Great Valley will be the team to beat in the Ches-Mont for several years to come!

Girls ' Basketball 135 Winter Trackmen Collect Their Gold Mike Diorka and Tom Brophy coached tJie 1976-77 winter track team through a fine season. The squad collected 66 medals to make a five year total of 367o Numerous runners deserve particular attention for their contributions. Providing needed leadership were tri -captains Bob Voorhees, Dan Skane, and Tom Schellenger. Voorhees and Skane were repeatedly cited for their achievements, especially with regard to the two mile relay. Teamed with Mark Marion and Ken Kapner, they set a division record for the Philadelphia Track Coaches As- sociation and placed second in both Princeton ' s Meet of Cham- pions and the Indoor State Meet. These accomplishments brought an invitation to Easterns, where they finished eighth in a field of 20. The four lap relav team of Dom DiPaul, Ed Jackmon, Steve DiAntonio, and Bill Chalfant ran consistently well. DiPaul was also a strong performer in both the mile and 880 relays. Marion merits added mention for his efforts in the 600 yard run, and Shawn Brown, whose specialty was the two mile run, should also be applauded. Coach Diorka directs the troops.

Sid Nodland ' s matmen were 6-4 in the Ches -Mont --good enough for third place, and 7- 7 overall. Joining senior tri- captains Ken Liskey, Ian Mansmann, and Mike Critch- low mth winning records were juniors Scott Nodland, John El- lison, and Ed Whitfield. Lis- key, Nodland, and Mansmann all placed in the Sectional Tournament hosted by Great Valley High School.

In only its second year of existence, the squad was comprised of just three seniors and no less than 24 underclassmen. This inex- perience may help explain a disappointing 4-5 showing in the Suburban 1 League. Competing in four events in each of the nine circuit meets, the team earned a total of 14 first place and 23 second place judgments. Coach Elmina Stewart ' s most consistent performers were freshman Carol Parker, sophomores Jean Bernhard and Sal- lie Moulder, and juniors Margie Harris and Elaine Hallett. The latter two, along with senior Louise Zemaitis, also served as captains. Earning noteworthy individual honors were Harris and Parker. While Margie exhibited third place form on the balance beam, Carol placed fourth all-around in the league meet at the regular season ' s end. Both went on to the District Meet, where Carol ' s impressive display on the uneven bars gained her a spot in the PIAA championships at Shippensburg. It is hoped that this talented freshman and friends will contribute to many GV victories in the seasons ahead. Sallie Moulder appears to be suspended in air as she performs on the bars.

Height is a big factor in basketball and a shortage of it hurt the Patriots. The all senior squad found itself outsized in every contest throughout an 11-13 season, as Coach Bob Clark started many games with only one man over six feet in the line-up. The season opened on an optimistic note as Great Valley cap- tured all three non-league games, but the start of Ches-Mont Lea- gue action brought a better indication of what was to come. The Pats dropped their first circuit contest in overtime and lost the second by just two points. Several more close defeats were in- cluded in the first half of play, which the courtmen finished with a 3-7 mark. They settled for a 5-5 second half tally. Individually, the highlight of the year came when Mark Shrader broke the school career point record previously held by his broth- er Eric. Mark led the league and the entire local area in scoring, averaging 24. 9 points per game, and was selected first team All Ches-Mont. Two other stand-out performers were forward Mike Cola and guard Tom Stout, both of whom scored consistently in double figures. Steve Davey, Steve Helfrich, Steve Dixon, Jeff Nissle, Dan Lewis, and Rich DeRafelo also helped provide loyal Patriot fans with exciting Tuesday and Friday night entertainment.

Mel Schucker ' s Patriot squad, made up of six underclassmen and just one senior, swept to the Ches-Mont League championship with an unbeaten 10-0 circuit record and was 14-0 overall. That ' s impres- sive enough in itself, but there ' s more: All seven members of the team were individually undefeated. At the top of the list of outstanding GV netmen were the Riley brothers. Eric, the team captain, played first singles and Mark was the number two singles man. At the Ches-Mont League singles championship, the two faced each other across the net in the finals; Eric won the family battle to become the circuit cham- pion and Mark was the runner-up. The twins teamed up for the doubles championship a few weeks later and not only conquered the Ches-Mont, but also placed fourth in District I play and reached the semi-final round of the state t ournament. But the Rileys weren ' t the only stars on the Great Valley squad. Matt Brown, who played third singles, Vince Roman and Dave Slet- vold, the first doubles team, and Dan Delap and Bnace Houston, the second doubles pair, were also superb performers. It was an exciting season! Dave Sletvold moves to the net to score a crucial point. 1977 BOYS ' TENNIS TEAM: Coach Schucker, Matt Brown, Dave Sletvold, Dan Delap, Bruce Houston, Mark Riley, Vince Roman, Eric Riley 144 Boys ' Tennis . tt l S '  I I I 1 I t I I ; .;-t- _4_i i Captain Eric Riley looks the ball over the net.

The girls ' lacrosse team also coasted to a first place finish. The 1977 season marked the fourth time in as many years that the Patriot stickgals esta- blished their supremacy in the Ches-Mont League. That streak appears even more impressive when it is considered that the head coaching position changed hands three times in that four year period; Roe Gentile was the new boss in 1977. Her team com- piled a league mark of 8-1 and an overall 8-2 count. The squad ' s success could not be traced directly to one or two players --everyone contributed. Standing out defensively were goalie and co- captain Anne Madarasz, who received All Ches- Mont honorable mention, Ann Voltz, named to the first team, and Kixn Lowe, who won second team laurels. Betsy Wagner, Joan Aker, Karen Vail, and Chelle Mowery rounded out a stingy de- fense.

The 1977 baseball season was crammed with both success and fl IStration for Hal Honig ' s GV squad. The Patriot diamondmen led the Ches-Mont League ' s Southern Division throughout most of the year, but two late-season losses forced a play-off for the di- vision title with the Downingtown Whippets. The Whippets won the game, so Great Vailed ended up a close second with a 13-3 league record. Again there were no stars in the Valley attack- -a well-bal- anced team was the key to victory. The Patriot batters hit a hefty .305 for the season, with Randy Stone, co- captain Rich DeRafelo, Terry Skahan, and co-captain Steve Dixon sporting the top indivi- dual averages. Stone also led the pitching staff with a 7-3 count, while Mike Cola was 5-1, and DeRafelo was 3-0. Ken Liskey, Larry Barker, Brian Stackhouse, and Dave McDonnell were the other regulars in the line-up. Steve Dixon tried to check, but the ball still hit his bat.

Records do not tell the complete story on any team, and GV com- peted exceptionally well for an injury wrought team. Led by Mike Diorka and assistant coaches Carl Stoltz and Tom Brophy, the Pats developed some fine talent. Captains Dan Skane and Bob Voorhees lent their abilities to a fine two mile relay team also comprised of Mark Marion and Ken Kapner, whom Jim Dewey replaced after an injury. Field captains Tom Warren, a consis- tent shot putter and discus man, and Tom Schellenger, a jumper, were also outstanding for the Patriots. Dom DiPaul was also not- able for his contributions. Young talent was present on the Valley squad in the form of two freshmen. While Bob Gerwig developed into a winning hurdler, John Kellerman became an outstanding vaulter, setting a state record for freshmen with his 12 ' 6 vault at the Championship Meet.

A host of outstanding athletes were recognized by their coaches and applauded by parents, peers, and school officials. Performers in each sport were cited and presented watches adorned with the Ichabod emblem and the letters G. V. H. S. Plaques were presented to underclassmen winners and those spe- cial athletes who excelled in more than one area. Those recognized for their contributions to the fall teams were Jim Dewey, Bob Voorhees, Rich DeRafelo, Ken Liskey, Steve Dixon, Tom Warren, O.J. Hoard, Steve F lather, Brett Don- bach, Jim Howell, Lynn Harper, Joan Fosnocht, Ann Voltz, and Hank Johnson. Mark Shrader, Lynn Harper, Marie Martino, Mar- gie Harris, Carol Parker, Ken Kapner, and Ken Liskey were ci- ted for their efforts in the winter months. Spring awards went to Randy Stone, Rich DeRafelo, Steve Dixon, Anne Madarasz, Gwen McKeon, Eric Riley, Mark Riley, Amy Balzer, Dan Skane, and Tom Warren. Cheerleaders Xenia Politis, Carol Thomas, Janet Bums, and Sue Davies were also singled out, and Brian Stack- house, Donna Quay, Steve Zucker, Betsy Wagner, Dom DiPaul, Ian Mansmann, Marie Martino, and Mike Cola earned special coaches ' awards.

While the V)lb-ll school year brought a justly large share of recognition to a handful of outstanding Great Valley athletes, there remained a vast number of participants in the Patriot program who were continually overlooked. It ' s time to give some long over- due credit to the members of the junior varsity and freshman squads who worked just as hard and sweated just as much as their varsity counterparts, yet never so much as had their names men- tioned in the morning announcements. Frustrations are many and rewards few during those freshman and sophomore years; every- one seems to forget that good ninth grade and JV teams today us- ually mean good varsity teams tomorrow. The contributions to Great Valley athletics of parents and fel- low students are also too often ignored. Many thanks are owed to the mothers and fathers who listened patiently to endless com- plaints about coaches and teammates, referees and opponents, grueling practices and painful injuries. And what of the loyal parents and spirited students who spent all kinds of money, turned out in all kinds of weather, and sometimes endured all kin ds of boredom in order to cheer on the Patriots on the playing field? Every athlete knows how much it means when the stands are full and the gym is echoing with shouts of encouragement. This tribute to the people behind the scenes who added to the success of the GV sports program in 1976-77 would not be com- plete without reference to the man who was in charge. What should be said about Mr. Al Como, the athletic director? In short, that his constant support was greatly appreciated by all. A concerned Mr. Como watches a close GV contest .

Eleven of 15 varsity squads compiled winning records and four won Ches-Mont League titles. The cross country, girls ' basketball, boys ' tennis, and lacrosse teams each earned championship trophies. The Pats ' crowning glory in 1976-77 came with the capture of the Ches -Mont ' s Boys ' All -Sports Trophy.

Homecoming Proves Victorious On October 16th we hosted the Springfield Rams in our annual Homecoming Game. The game as well as the halftime activities proved to be very memorable. As usual last minute problems sprung up everywhere. The seniors had more th an half of their float to complete. The wind tore the sophomores float, The Boston Tea Party, which left them to the mercy of tape. To everyone ' s surprise the freshmen arrived with their float finished and unripped. The queens and their floats made their debut at half-time. The parade was complete with everything from Paul Revere to an au- thentic conestoga wagon, which proved to emphasize this year ' s Bicentennial theme. The queens were escorted across the field to receive their flowers and the band marched off, bringing the half- time program to an end. The football team returned to the field and finished the game with an outstanding score of 33-0. Francine Campagna rides the freshmen ' s winning float. Denise Hute leads the crowd with a cheer.

Each class fought for the jug by competing in the customary competitions of white socks and sneakers day, blue and gray day, and the poster contest. The tricycle race, clothing drive and vol- leyball games were a few of the competitions added this year. The seniors clinched the lead from the beginning, although the freshmen and sophomores were not far behind. The juniors held back waiting for a chance to make their big move. As the week progressed the seniors held fast to their lead by winning the cloth- - ing drive, blue and gray day and red, white and blue day. The freshmen and sophomores battled for second place while the juniors were still scheming for their big move. When the classes entered the pep rally on the final day of com- petition the seniors were in a commanding lead. The sophomores made a desperate effort to overtake the seniors by winning the cheering and poster contests, but it was to no avail. The competi- tion came to a close with the Class of ' 77 retaining an unblemished record by winning the Spirit Jug for the fourth straight year. The Class of ' 80 finished in second place with the Class of ' 79 close be- hind for third. The Class of ' 78 took fourth place and decided to save their big move for next year ' s competition.

The first playoff game, against a strong Radnor team, proved to be the most thrilling game of the season. The game ended in a sudden death overtime and a Great Valley 6-5 victory. Although they lost their next playoff game, they finished the season with a 10-7-1 record and a third place in the league. The team was led by their Captain Scott Woolford and Assis- tants Larry Barker and Bob Gastwirth. Their managers were Dwayne Butts and Prissy Kettelle. Brian Meyers and Ted Whitely finished as high scorers with John Violante, Ted Whitely and Scott Woolford named as All -Stars.

After the autumn candle sale, hours of preparations and the nine hour bus ride, the Great Valley ski club ar- rived at their ultimate desti- nation: Killington. For the fol- lowing four days these fortu- nate people experienced the life of ski bums. The memories that were accumulated will ne- ver be forgotten- warming frostbitten toes over broken legs , Mr. Stemple ' s late ar- rival, the unending snowfall, the days, the nights and even the food has a special place in our memory. It all came to an end upon departure, four o ' - clock on the 21st of February. Even our fearless chaperones Mr. Baker, Mrs. Skibbe, Ms. Gentile and Bill Hudome, could not endure the return trip with- out catching some shut eye. This year ' s officers were Brian Green, president; Jeff McQuis- ton, vice president; Sue Saun- ders, secretary; Bonnie McQuis- ton, treasurer. Sue Saunders and Mr. Baker share a smile.

The marching band had a busy year. They participated in the Malvern Halloween Parade, the halftime activities of the Eagle- Raiders football game, the Parade of Champions at Convention Hall and all of the Great Valley football games. They also earned ratings of outstanding and excellent for their preformances at various cavalcades. This year marked the First Annual Great Valley Cavalcade. After many hours of planning, scheduling and promotion there were problems: the lights arrived late and after being postponed by rain it was still muddy, never the less the event was a great suc- cess. The marching band as well as the concert and jazz bands should be commended for their eff ort and the successful year they had. 1976-77 Great Valley Marching Band. Phil Allen takes time out to wave.

In addition to their sea- sonal concerts they al- so performed at Penn- crest and Pequea Valley High Schools, General Wajme and Exton Square mall. Passing the audition was nothing compared to the hours of practice, repetition and dedication that was demanded. This year they sang many songs a cappela which takes hard work. Their efforts were not waisted for in April they re- corded a record album.

They took charge of the sound and lighting, props and scen- ery, for the student musical ANYTHING GOES , the fac- ulty play THE BOYFRIEND , the Senior Class Variety Show, band and choir concerts, and other events held in the audi- torium.

President Kathy Milton led the ASB through one of it ' s most productive years this year. She and her fellow officers Vice Presi- dent, Jim Dewey; Treasurer, Steve Zucker; and Secretaries, Dawn Butler and Becky Kettelle organized a new studyhall system, the blood mobile visit, the student exchanges and more. Mr. White- lock, our new advisor, added much to the success of the year by giving of his time before, during, and after school. With the loss of the lounge, more time and effort was spent drawing up proposals and meeting with Dr. Esbrandt on such mat- ters as open campus, longer lunches, open studyhalls, and ASB reports to be given in Social Studies classes. Although none of these were approved, the work was not useless but helped to bet- ter each proposal for possible reconsideration. This year Che regents were Student Activities, Neeta Moonka; Charities, Xenia Politis; Elections, Wayne Keyes; Curriculum, Janet Russell; and Publicity, Beth Darby. In January elections were held and the results for the 1977- 1978 term were President, Joan McLaughlin; Vice President, Mike Gordon; Treasurer, Mary Jo Buonanno; and Secretaries Laura Helker and Kim Lowe. With a little help from the departing offi- cers they started off on the right path. Jim Dewey anxiously awaits his presen- tation of the parlimentary minute.

Pep Club has always been one of the most popular and most productive clubs at Great Valley. This year was no exception. Their first job was to organize the homecoming activities and, as if that wasn ' t enough work, less than a month later they had total responsibility of the Spirit Week competition. Both of these events demanded long hours of planning and both were highly successful. They also sponsored one Road Rally which, after being post- poned weekly for months, ended up with only three praticipating cars. Miss Bowers and Mr. Erskine did a great job as sponsors, and no one would ever know it was their first year.

' ITie annual donkey basket- ball games were held on the 22nd of January. ITiroughout the periods of play, kicking, bucking and falling were not uncommon. At the end as the dust cleared, the juniors were the champs. But they could not maintain their momentum and lost to a powerful faculty squad. The night provided great entertainment for the crowd as well as the participants. Who could help but laugh at the awk- ward attempts of the players and the totally uncooperative donkeys?

With an active membership of around twenty students from ninth through twelfth grade, they participated in many activities. This year they parked cars at the Thanksgiving Day football game, guided lost parents on Back to School night, spon- sored a child in Taiwan, of- ficiated the entire elementary track meet held annually at Great Valley, and ushered for graduation and award cere- monies. This year the officers were Wayne Keyes, President; Mrke Kelly, Vice President; Tom Warren, Secretary; and Hank Johnson, Treasurer. The 1976-77 Interact officers (L-R) Hank Johnson, Tom Warren, Wayne Keyes, and Mike Kelly organized the club for another successful year.

Their members come from each class and participate in many activities. This year their activities consisted of guiding parents on parents night and holding a pumpkin carving contest in the fall, ushering and serving refreshments at the student musical in the winter, and hosting a car wash and bake sale in the spring. The club ' s sponsor, Mrs. Boettjer, helped to keep the club organized and functioning properly. Working with her were this year ' s officers Janet Russell, President; Lori Armstrong, Vice President; Barb Pearson, Assistant Vice; President; and Judy Adamovich, Treasurer.

Membership consists of sophomores, juniors and sen- iors who have earned a varsity letter in a varsity sport. Their annual spaghetti dinner, held in March, was very successful as students, faculty, parents and friends ate their fill. Another prominent moneymaker was the pretzel stand. They sold pretzels, candy and soda after school and during home athle- tic events. The main attrac- tion of joining varsity club is to earn a varsity club jacket. A member is required to pay dues, work in the consession stand and work at the spaghetti dinner in order to earn a jack- et. This year the officers were Danny Skane, president; Tom Horton, vice president; Marie Martino, treasurer, and Ann Volzt, secretary. The shoes of these athletes felt the same agony the athletes did themselves.

There are two inductions held each year, under the supervision of their faculty sponsors Miss Dietz and Mr. Kase. Seniors with a 3.0 average are eligable in the fall and juniors witli a 3. 5 average in the spring. Members are selected by the faculty for their leader- ship, character, service, and scholarship. As well as the induc- tions, NHS sponsored a campus clean up, a car wash, and a bake sale.

IFC Promotes Friendship Between The International Friendship Club members donate their time and money to promote friendship between Great Valley students and international exchange students.

C. members raised money in events including their annual hoagie sale in September, a bake sale in October, and a candy sale in December. However, the real work began with preparation for the International Weekend. Exchange students staying in the Phila- delphia area were invited to spend April 21-24 at Great Valley, Several dedicated members spent hours after school writing let- ters, scheduling students for classes, and organizing activities for the weekend. After much confusion and chaos, 26 exchange students repre- senting 16 different countries arrived for dinner on Thursday, April 21. After a special performance by the G, V. Jazz Band, members serving as hosts brought the guests to their homes. Great Valley students got to meet the exchange students that Fri- day when they spoke to classes about their countries. The rest of the weekend was just as busy with activities ranging from bowl- ing to seeing the faculty play to partying. Sunday was a sad day as the guests had to return to their American host families. All mem- bers agree that such a great weekend made the precious hours of work worthwhile. 1. F.C, officers Margaret Johnson, president; Miriam Hermann, vice-president; Mariann Webster, secretary; and Lisa Fortunate, treasurer, as well as Mrs. Bigler, sponsor, and hard-working members deserve thaaks for another successful weekend.

IFC 187 Musket Staff Survives Pressures, The Musket Staff put alot of time, effort and energy into the yearbook before you, the results of which are printed here. Late nights, crisis meetings, the lack of help, the disaster of making a mistake, along with all the tension of meeting the deadlines, are all characteristics of yearbook editors, and this year was no exception. To add to our dilema, our sponsor. Miss Ebert, resigned from her teaching post in December and for the remainder of the year all meetings had to be held at night or over the phone. Looking back we hope that we have accomplished what we set out to, produce a quality yearbook that provides pictures, facts, memories and containing the events of our 1976-1977 highschool year. Miss Ebert gives a smile of relief as we meet ova first deadline. Dawn Butler, Becky Kettelle and Mary- beth McLean unanimously agree that yearbook is joke!

Distributed free for the first time this year, the paper reached over 1500 people each month. Writing, typing, and laying out the pages took a lot of time and ef- fort, Mr, Czeck, the sponsor, and Neeta Moonka, the editor in chief, worked closely to produce a quality paper. They continued with such features as the outstanding senior, faculty close up, sen- ior class wills, letters to the editor, and sports coverage. They added a continuing feature on the drug scene at Great Valley. After the hours of work putting the paper together, making correc- tions and adding the finishing touches, it was always a relief when the paper was finally distributed. All accounted for, it was a diffi- cult year and their job was very time consuming, but they pulled it through and came up with a consistantly good paper. Neeta Moonka hard at work? Mr. Czeck discusses the layout with Mr. Czeck. With the small amount of help available, most of the layouts were left for these two. Hopefully next year there will be more interested students willing to participate, for it will make all the work go much more quickly. 190 Surveyor GVOTA And Photo Clubs Strive For Perfection Great Valley on the Air has been broadcasting for over ten years and is continually im- proving. Along with their ef- forts in broadcasting they also do the morning announcements each day.

For years the SRB has dealt with the problems of the stu- dent lounge, but now that the lounge is gone hopefully they can continue their effective- ness in a broader sense.

The Ecology Club, under the sponsorship of Mr. Ellis, devoted most of their efforts to the preparation for their annual fair held at Exton Mall during Ecology Week in April. The fair was complete with demonstrations, films, information, tree sales and terrariums. Earlier in the year, the club spent a day at Hawk Mountain, hiking and picnicing, as well as visiting the brid sanctuary at the base of the mountain. Tlie members also spent alot of time in the greenhouse. Tlie Bio-Chem Club was busy this year with lectures, film nights, and their trip to the Washington Zoo. Mr. Augustini was this year ' s sponsor, everyone will agree that with his help their activities were very educational and beneficial. ' - .

This year, they had their most suc- cessful year ever. They attri- buted their success to the large attendance at their Valentine ' s Day Dance and their annual Fashion Show. Feeling ambi- tious, they decided to add a dance routine to the fashion show which turned out to be more work than anticipated but well worth the extra effort. Nobody will forget the discus- sions over who should model with whom or the long hours of rehearsal. All their proceeds went to the scholarship fund which will support an outstand- ing senior in his college en- deavors next year. The officers, Marcus Sweet, president; Jo- anne Perry, vice-president; and John Perry, treasurer, would like to give special thanks to Mr. Stoltz, who was a fantas- tic sponsor.

Colon is a science or- iented organization. Outside of the classroom activities, which include every- thing from basic astronomy to the principles of aerospace concepts and management, there were field trips, dances, tag day, and good times. They traveled to Pittsburgh, the Smithsonian, which will always be remembered as the time they left Mr. Grant behind, and Willow Grove, Through all of this the main objective of the AFJROTC is to give its members a sense of leadership and prepare them for the future.

Miner Virginia Lee Credit Is Due . . . There are various people who helped the Musket staff this past year and we would now like to thank them. First of all, the photographers; 1) Merin Studios did the Senior pictures and came out several times this year to take candid shots; 2) Mr. Joseph Martino (Marie ' s Dad) took and developed a lot of the pictures in the Sports section; 3) The Great Valley Photo Club, which consisted of only a select few who we could depend on for pictures; 4) Kathy Milton was one of our life-savers in the photo depart- ment. On quite a few occasions, we asked her to develop several rolls of film for the weekend; 5) Larry McDevitt of the Daily Local News staff provided us with a couple of pictures for our national coverage section. Since our advisor left in mid-year, our organization began to faulter. Mr. Crisi tried to get us settled and came up with a few ideas to save us. First, he asked Mr. Hickman, a former yearbook sponsor, to serve as a guide we could go to when we had troubles or questions. Mr. Hickman was good in this respect, but he had already inspired us to put out a good yearbook and we always knew he was behind us one hundred per cent. We would also like to thank Neeta Moonka and Steve Pusey for organizing a second yearbook-selling campaign. They were pretty much successful in getting sales for almost an additional one hundred books. This was badly needed because our first campaign sold below the minimum number allowed to print a yearbook- -for whatever reason, we are not positive. Mrs. Garrison was a very big help to us. She provided us with details and information that could have never been found elsewhere. She was truly indispensable to us. We would also like to thank her for letting us hound her every day about pictures or proofs that had come in. She would smile and re- ply: No, hon. Nothing ' s come in yet. These were just a few of many people who helped and coped with us. TTiere were also our teachers who put up with letting us out of their classes and our parents who allowed us to stay home for an im- portant deadline or have staff meetings at home. All we can say is thank you all very much. 207 I Y The End ...
