Backward, turn backward O time in your flight, Make me a child again Just for tonight. Elizabeth Akers Allen V v after 3:00 p.m. We are forever looking back to our carefree days of childhood — days of running after the ice cream man and climbing trees. Hicksville High School is a place where we express childhood fun — sliding down banisters, having chicken fights, and blowing out candles on birthday cakes. We are forever looking ahead to days of college, professional work, and responsibility. Hicksville High is a place where we discover our interests, and our talents. Through courses, clubs, sports, and activities, we find our values, and we find ourselves. If Do not leave me, For here dwells your past. Come and follow me, For I am your future. Kahlil Gibran DREAMS 5 Let today embrace the past with remembrance, And the future with longing. Kahlil Gibran As we remember our years in elementary school when we made believe we were famous people and imagined rocks were forts, we wish time could take us back.Perhaps as the Founding Fathers quarreled over the Declaration of Independence, they, too, wished time could take them back to the days when they had no worries. At the same time, they dreamed about and hoped for a new nation. 6 DREAMS Hicksville High School is a place where we can experience our country's past. Watching the au- thentically dressed fife and drum corps march with flags allows us to perceive life as it was when our nation began. Listening to the bicentennial music of the Symphonic Wind Ensemble helps us to return to the exciting birth of America. Each of us celebrates the Bicentennial in his or her own way — owning a Spirit of '76 candle or decorating the High School's front window with flags and pictures from 1776. DREAMS 7 And dreams are time limitless Kahlil Gibran We can start working with time till You can fly the past and the future. Jonathan Livingston Seagull 8 DREAMS Hicksville High School is a part of all our lives. Our school holds a different meaning for each of us, but our memories of high school will always re- main with us. For some of us, Hicksville High means cramming for tests in lunch, preparing for the SAT’s, or staying after school until nighttime for play rehearsals. For others Hicks- ville High means going to a dance with that very impor- tant person, acting crazy as a member of the Stunts Com- mittee, or looking into the my- steries of the stone slab and the missing benches. For all of us, Hicksville High School means a place where we make friends, grow fond of certain teachers, and exper- ience both ups and downs. 10 DREAMS Today well lived, makes every Yesterday a dream of happines, and Every tomorrow a vision of hope. From the Sanskrit DREAMS 11 Not all of us will always remember a Thanksgiving dinner in the Bachelor Living class, the new cafeteria program, or the change in guidance counselors, but all of us will always remember Hicksville High School for our learning exper- iences, for our sad times, and for our happy times spent with friends. Time is was and what a time It was. It was A Time of innocence, A time of confidences . Long ago . . it must be I have a photograph. Preserve your memories, They’re all that’s left you. Simon and Garfunkel Yesterday is but today’s memory And tomorrow but today’s dream. Kahlil Gibran Hicksville High is a place where we can spend time re- flecting and dreaming. We have the time during each day to think about the past week — a volleyball victory or a grade on a paper. We have the time to wish to stay young forever, to live free of cares, and to have fun. We have the time to dream about what the future may bring and about the direction our lives will take. Our moods vary from never wanting to grow up to wishing the future were here today. Our High School enables us to experience these two feelings. We antici- pate tomorrow through both academic and vocational learning opportunities. We hold on to yesterday because we still enjoy acting like little kids. DREAMS 15 Hicksville High School is a place — Where our past will always dwell, Where our dreams will always rest, Where our greatest fun will always remain. Where the last dance will never end. Where our failures will never let us forget, And where our learning experiences Will have prepared us for future tasks. See what it is That waits here, Whole and new, It’s not a year only, But a world for you Mary Carolyn Davies DREAMS 17 k.

As students, we learn to believe in our ideas, to see through falsehoods, to criticize and to respect ourselves, and to take an interest in our educa- tion. Hicksville High has proved to be a unique school, for we, the students, have been able to criticize past learning, to make suggestions for better education in the future, and to see our sug- gestions turn into realities. Both our school and commu- nity have respected our opinions whether it dealt with petitions for the budget, a general atti- tude towards Hicksville High education, or suggestions for upcoming years. The unique learning experience of Hicksville High is students and facutly dis- cussing sex education at a Roundtable meeting or an edito- rial in the Comet newspaper concerning student’s opinions of the general faculty. The true val- ue of learning is learning how to learn, and we have done just that at Hicksville High. 20 LEARNING Another part of learning is learning happi- ness. These special moments when you feel well loved or very peaceful are just as much a part of learning as science or social stud- ies. You learn what it is to be human. You learn what is is to be alive. You learn to understand yourself. If you stimulate learn- ing, you can find an answer. And with that answer you can find happiness. LEARNING 21 District Administration and Dr. Frederick W.

It was then that students could ride around, sit down with friends and talk, or just hang-out. It was also the time to copy history homework and find that kid who borrowed your lab reports.

The members of the Library Club volunteer their ser- vices to the school library and in return they go on many trips. This year they’ve gone to the Empire State Building, Radio City Hall, N.B.C. Studio and the United Nations. They fund these trips by selling the New York Times to the student body and to members of the faculty. They’re right there The Office Aides at Hicksville High help in the main, guidance, and nurses’ offices. They run errands, help fill out forms, and fetch students when they are needed in one of the offices. An office aide distributes the mail. AIDES Health Aides: William McGinley.

The Industrial Arts department has a number of courses, each as exciting as the other. The courses that make up this department are: Electric shop, Metal shop, Auto shop, and Print shop. They teach the students to work at a specific craft or skill. For the students, these classes are not only enjoyable but also provide practical experiences needed for future years. “Okay boys, around the track! Today we’ll do 61 laps!” Okay young lady, but you II have to make up that class. These are the familiar dialogues heard in the gyms. Although big strides have been in the Phys. Ed. program, such as the elimination of gymsuits and an elective program, many kids still preferred the Pizza Place to push-ups. Busy, busy busy! 36 LEARNING Mr. Harry N. Renn Phys.

Speaking Out What is 20th Century man? Does he follow along the bounteous graciousness of time or has he digressed like the tide which ebbs endlessly out toward the ocean swal- lows? An odd and perplexed creature man is. His great- ness has long withered away; yet, a sparkle of hope re- mains within the perpetual motion of time. As man. he shall always exist, portraying the enduring flame of civil- ization. In the final analysis, salvation will be his to con- quer. This being, this essence, which is now called man, has soared to new heights. But in flying upward like an eagle, he has lost the direction of the shallow, whispering winds. Where doth he trod? One know not. To soar is his desire, to fall is his fate. Egotistical, irrational, apathetic beast that is all that man is. The mere appetites of his mind guide him. Good- ness has become evil and the evil in turn goodness. What- ever virtues man possessed have faded away like the flower which has lost its fragrance. Steve Verolla The existence of an educative and inspiring high school life lies in the student himself. I have been a witness to the deterioration of the aver- age student at Hicksville High School. He is apathetic to everything, yet, he doesn’t take part in anything con- structive. If only he were to look at things from the eye of a creator, he could see much more than what his weak eyes see now. He could find himself in a position he has never been in, among the elite who aspire to do well. Marty Diaz A Bicentennial Reflection I hope we take a good hard look at our style of living, at why our lives seem so meaningless, at why it is becoming so difficult for anyone with sensitivity to live in an environ- ment like ours simply, honestly, bravely, meaningfully! I believe once taking that hard look we will concur that our only real hope lies in undertaking another revolution, not so much a social revolution or political revolution or economic revolution but a moral and spiritual revolution. A campaign to rehabilitate the souls of men, not just their hearts and minds. Paul J. Vetrano A Bicentennial Perspective A nation without knowledge of its own history is like a human being without a conscience. A society without an historical perspective is like a traveler lost in a strange place, knowing neither the beginning nor end of his trav- els, nor the reason for the trip itself. The American Republic, while still relatively young, was from the outset uniquely favored. We possessed a histo- ry, an English heritage. The American people were pre- sented with a magnificant opportunity to imitate and per- petuate a great democratic experiment. An opportunity which may never occur again in world history. Our Founding Fathers were uniquely prepared to help effect this democratic experiment. They were able to bring into focus a revolution which had lasted over a century and a half, one that began when the first colo- nists landed on America’s shores. Over the years such a change occurred in the thinking of these colonists that the American Revolution was nearly completed in their minds before the bullets began to fly. The United States was and still is a vibrant, vital revolutionary force. Our nation, despite its marvelous development, will one day reach its peak as Greece and Rome did. We may ultimately fall on evil ways as they did. But, whatever uncertainities the future may hold, the past at least is secure. The future rests in our hands. That great democratic experiment is now our responsibility. Let us, in this Bicen- tennial year, rediscover and reaffirm our history and heri- tage. John F. Pitrelli 40 LEARNING If I were asked to name the single most important concept that a student should leave high school with, I would answer, “a sense of community.” In order to achieve this goal, people must work together, This “to- getherness” may occur in structured organization or in informal groups. Whatever the cause and whatever the circumstance, we spend a good deal of our time with a variety of people. The depth of involvement with our neighbors remains a personal consideration. We may care enough to make an effort to get to know those around us and in that way benefit from their experiences, knowledge and unique personalities. Or, we may decide to tolerate only “necessary” contacts either because we believe certain people to be “umimportant” or because we have a fear of getting involved. In both of the latter cases, we all lose. When personal contact is restricted, we become narrow, self-centered and ignorant. However, if we reach out to each other, there is virtually no limit to what we may accomplish. Steve Grossman “Speaking Freely” My piece for this year is concerned with the faculty- student relations, which this year, appeared to be more strained than usual. The majority of the faculty are easy- going and earnest workers. But certain anonymous facul- ty members seem intent on hassling kids with their bu- reaucratic hodge-podge (i.e. passes, going to the bath- room, etc.) On one occasion I was threatened with sus- pension for destroying the bathrooms and for being in the hassle with a friend. I can only see such logic as inane. But, nonetheless, students fnust show some more responsibility, and facul- ty must show some more trust towards students, for present treatment may cause a faculty-student drift, and a trust lag in many college-bound students. Dave Drier I think that the young people of today are too quick to blame their elders for all the world's problems while those of previous generations seem to feel that today’s youth is the cause of the world's turbulence. These atti- tudes seem to me to be among the worst type of preju- dice. Young and old must work together to make this a bet- ter place to live. Do not dismiss the ideas expressed by our elders, for, through experinece, they have gained much wisdom. By the same token, do not be too impa- tient with youth, for their minds have much potential. Maureen Kelly Remember first floor lockers and that Senior in your first period Spanish Class that you fell in love with? Re- member homecoming and the big parade? Remember the Sophomore Flop? Remember DAT S, PSAT'S, SAT’S, ATP’S, ATS, AP’S? Remember ABC'S? Remember sweating out asking that guy to the INNASH Dance? Remember class rings, Pre- cious and Few and the Folk Concert? Remember the First Show? Remember When you final- ly sewed that zipper in right, after sixteen tries? Remem- ber the final moments of the final cast party when you wanted to stop the clock and stay forever? Remember your last lap around the track for the team? Remember the last point at the last home basketball game? Remem- ber orange balloons and a plane that never came? Re- member working on the faculty show (was it for brownie points from the teacher?)? Remember bells and books and teachers you loved and yes, even those you hated? Remember lunch at the deli and frisbee on the Patio? Remember your first cut slip? Remember posters and events and tickets and meetings and deadlines and term papers and Friends? As “The Little Prince” says, “And when your sorrow is comforted (time soothes all sorrows) you will be content that you have known me. You will always be my friend.” Remember Hicksville, it has been good to us and it will always be our friend. And Hicksville, remember THE CLASS OF 76. Eileen Bickard A Farewell Villanelle You'll leave us now, and go to ... Lord-knows-where? Anothr school? a job? a home away from home? After the years well-spent, the work you did with care. You know the time is almost gone. You’re nearly there. You've written up the final lab, read your last to me. You’ll leave us now, and go to ... Lord-knows-where? Just try to look beyound the drudgery, the pain, That you might never see that framed diploma — A .. after the years well-spent, the work you did with care. We know you’re weary, jaded, bored enough to SWEAR! You're tired of feeling caged; you want to roam. You’ll leave us now, and go to ... Lord-knows-where. Soon you may feel it wasn't all that bad (just to be fair). Not every teacher was a witch, an ogre, or a gnome. After the years well-spent; the work you did with care; Good luck to you! You have become mature, informed, aware; Why, you can even face the future with aplomb! You’ll leave us now, and go to ... Lord-knows-where? After the years well-spent; the work you did with care.

Here math stu- dents spent many hours typing away at the math department’s favorite toy — the com- puter. The computer, now in its second year, has been expanded to the point that it is used for business courses in addition to the usual f(x)=ax3 + bx2 + cx + d. In the science department, all the action was in the labs. Some students decided to become modern day Louis Pasteurs. Others settled for lighting bonfires in the sinks. In addition to the standard bio., chem., and physics courses, a series of half-year electives were offered. These elective courses included both oceanog- raphy and ecology. ‘'Don’t spill It! Labs are fun. “Foot fetish? English and History Machiavelli: World History, Thomas Jefferson: American His- tory, HHS: Social Studies Curriculum. As a relief from the required courses for 10th and 11th year history, 12th grade electives were offered in Sociology, Government, the Bicen- tennial, Economics, Contemporary World Problems, and Rus- sian studies. For those students who were serious about col- lege study, Mr. Pitrelli instructed a class of Advanced Place- ment History. In addition to the standard English course of poetry, plays, novels, and short stories, students were offered courses in Drama, Comedy, and Philosophy, not to mention Advanced Placement English. This diversity of courses evident- ly improved student interest as less students were hanging out in the halls or partying, and more were in English class. learning 55 Science Mr. Herbert Rosen Physics 56 LEARNING Miss Barbara Kosko App. Chemistry, Chemistry Mr. Vahan Avedesian Chemistry, App. Chemistry Mr. James Wellon Physics, Oceanography rl_________________ h Mr. Maynard Munch Director of Student Activities, Physics LEARNING 57 '’Men love to wonder, and that is the seed of our science” — Emerson Mr. Charles Ferri A.P.

A number of courses are offered to satisfy the needs of our students interested in art. They include Art History and Appreciation, Ceramics, Designing, Graphics, and Studio in Art. The visual aspect of art is complemented by the aural aspect of music. Music is probably one of the largest depart- ments in HHS. A major portion of this field incorporates the choruses, bands, and orchestra, which entertain both the students and the community. Extra-curricular musical activities include Marching Band, Stage Band, and Tri-M. “My date for the Senior Ball. LFARNING 61 English Mr. Lawrence L. LaMarca English X, IX Rep.

Out of the classroom — another world awaits arrival. Friends gather and are on their way: some to go to show rehearsals others to sing, many go to sports practice, others to clubs. And from being a part of these activities one experiences, and grows, expands the mind and broadens one’s horizons. With growth comes knowledge, and understanding With growth comes knowledge, and understanding Months pass by-all so quickly and through these months we continue constantly to change. It is said “Changes of the seasons are nearly as pleasing as watching the changes in you To Watch others change and to recognize changes in yourself is beautiful. It is that which connects your old ways of yesterday to your new self today. — JUDY SOMER — 9 - • •A.

This year, the Comets did not have a very good season, but their true devotion led them on to victories against Oceanside and East Meadow. Although we lost Home- coming, the Comets were not discouraged — neither were the faithful Hicksville fans who rooted their team on throughout the season. Defeats did not hinder the team spirit, and the grueling practices continued. John Bergen displayed exceptional performance, scoring many touch- downs, while Joe DeRosa, the team’s foremost tackle, showed excellent skill and talent. Rich Maresco, the team’s captain, had a successful season as quarterback. Junior Varsity: Back Row (L — R) — Coach Meyer. Scott Pensante. Walter Lundon. Glenn Rossi. Jimmy Bruckner.

Wrestling is an individual sport which requires much self-discipline. Wres- tlers must keep their weight stable, and they must always get physically and mentally “psyched'' before a match Out- standing wrestlers were John Leo (last year’s All-Division champ) and Frank Cerone. The most outstanding wrestler this year was Andy Edell, who not only had a fine record, but also placed 2nd in the Calhoun Christmas Tournament and 1st in the Berner Christmas Tournament. n. � c '■� i V - v 'I 'i ■ .

This year's team was one of the best conditioned teams on the Island. Joe McDonald, the team captain and goalie, played consistently well throughout the season. On the other end of the field, Joe Fanara constantly frustrated the opposing defensemen by his excellent stick handling. Coached by Mr. Meyer and Buddy Bryan, the team played exceptionally well and had a highly competitive attitude. i-v La Crosse « £' � ;:. v.v',,.-'v: . w. •••■•;.;. %?:•:■■ ',.?. . � • •.

This is evident in Hicksville High when more girls try-out for a limited number of team member- ships. Coach Moulton had the cream of the crop and a great season. Sandy takes careful aim. 124 AFTER 3:00 P.M. Diving head first into championship Softball Our Hicksville High’s girls’ Softball Team is probably one of the most successful teams in the school. During the 75 season, they won the League Championship at a game in Eisenhower Park. This year Robyn Sadowski, Diana and Lynn Fordham, and Lori O’Neill once again spurred the team to victory. But victory would not be so sweet without the help of Coach Nancy James. AFTER 3:00 P M. 125 Lynn Fordham is ready and waiting on second.

However, when a second look is taken, a sense of extreme nostalgia pervades our minds. Next year, all that has seemed settled and home to us will dematerialize into a new and sometimes frightening college environment. We tend to think of all the nights spent writing papers and studying, and all the hassles of high school life. Yet, do we ever pause to examine the benefits of this seemingly hard life? Think back to the person you were after ninth grade. Does it make you laugh? Or even cry? Without our knowledge, Hicksville High has transformed us, made us mature into a more grown-up, solid group of individuals. 128 HIGHLIGHTS It has helped us mature socially, by the numerous extracurricular activities it pro- vides, such as its plays, pre-professional clubs, activities and, with a bit of self indul- gence, its publications. It gives one a fine petri dish to sprout an entire colony of friends and growing experiences. But Hicksville High School is not only a refined teenage social club, it also provides growth and understanding on the intellectual level. Where else can one learn the value of a Shakespeare play, an atomic reaction, a Wagner opera, or a foreign masterpiece all under one roof? Although we may not have recognized it at the time, Hicksville High has taught us a great many things, not only about the arts and sciences, but about life. Looking back, we can honestly say that Hicksville has not built us solely as students, but as people. HIGHUGHTS 129 Get your mugs while they last! The agony of the senior pictures. Seniors After being incarcerated from kinder- garten on, the craziness began in the mid- dle of the senior year as parole time ap- proached. This craziness known as Sen- ioritis, affected many seniors, although some extreme cases were known to have started as early as the victim’s sopho- more year. Common symptoms include cutting classes, adverse reactions to homework, and a general carefree atti- tude. The only sad aspect of this epidemic was that, believe it or not, there were some who were not affected. These few people organized worthwhile fund-raising programs such as selling T- shirts, buttons, mugs, and sponsoring a concert featuring the New Rock and Jazz Quintet. The Senior Trip to Washington D.C. and Williamsburg was a great suc- cess in the bicentennial year. Seniors en- joyed a boat ride on the Potomac, and they loved Godspell. Last but not least, was the event that made the senior year a bouncing one — the Senior Ball. When all was said and done, high school was a ball, and all sen- iors were sorry to see it end. Barbara Assam. Michele Carrier!. JoAnn Less- er. and Patty Gibbs. Senior Officers. 130 HIGHLIGHTS The seniors prepare for graduation. Spirit of Seventy-Six Guiding the class for the Home- coming float. Check out those Mugs! Let me sing you a song. HIGHLIGHTS 131 Carrying on the traditions Juniors Junior folk concert The President in conference 132 HIGHLIGHTS In the eleventh year of the twelve year struggle to become seniors, the junior class displayed the spunk and stamina needed to make this an exciting year. They started off the year’s gusto by winning the prize for the best homecoming float. They also held a folk concert, a ’’CLASS of ’77” frisbee sale, a flea market, and of course the annual Junior Prom. We wish them luck next year when it is their turn to lead H.H.S. in their never ending battle for truth, justice, and the American way. Making the change from junior high to high school is a difficult task. This year the sophs, proved their ability to deal with the situation. They put re- markable effort into their homecoming float — a Liberty Bell with the Baldwin bear as the clapper. They have also kept things hopping by sponsoring the traditional Soph Hop. Last but not least, they showed consideration for the stomachs of the g upperclassmen by sponsoring a candy sale. p h o Off to a good start. m O r e s Soph Officers Leslie Castro. Lauren Burwasser. Tammy Crawford and Rich Panetta. Hey they’re taking our picture! Those who wanted to dance. Is there really coke in that bottle? HIGHLIGHTS 133 Have you seen my sister? A sterling troupe of actors notoriously known as the Hicksville High School teach- ers, presented for our enjoy- ment and theirs “My Sister Ei- leen. This wacky play, a mar- velous performance, was about two sisters who run to the big city to make it on their own. Mr. Patsis directed, Mrs. Jonason led the cast, and Mr. Dockrell supervised construc- tion. Profits from the play went towards our scholarship fund. This was a wonderful chance for students and teachers to work together on a worthwhile project. You get me so angry! I'll blow you a kiss. The Faculty Play The Happy Homemaker.

The two plays, under the direction of Mr. Crucilla and the student direction of Cathy Smith, were The Mouse that Roared and Rally Round the Flag Boys! The plays, with their bicentennial themes, were a great success. The more outstanding per- formers included Lisa Miller, Glenn Goldis, Ed Kershen, Pe- ter Zenneck. Dave Gaudio, Sue Maiers, and Hope Hirsch. The enthusiastic efforts of every- one on both crew and cast made the senior play a memo- rable event. Don’t you see my point? HIGHLIGHTS 139 Major sources of attraction for stdents with a good ear for sound were the many concerts per- formed by the various musical groups. The most laudable of these efforts were the Pops Con- cert, the Winter Concert, and Swing and Things. The admission charges for these concerts has been incorporated into a fund for musically talented students. Chamber players and chorale get together. The concert Band. The Symphony Orchestra. The Madrigals at Old Country Road School. 140 HIGHLIGHTS Mr. Arnold accompanies the Sophomore Mixed Chorus. Let them entertain you The stunts committee promotes the dance. Is this the sideshow?

In-stands for inch The two mousketeers I get wrapped up in my work. 142 HIGHLIGHTS A step back in time A string of pearls The String of Pearls Dance, featuring the school’s dance band and the female chorus called “Pearl Drops” was held on March 27th. Parents and students alike enjoyed the refreshments that were served and danced to the unique enter- tainment provided.

(Bottom) Defense was always on the ball. All on the Comet Football team gave ever- ything they had of themselves. But when you think of this past year’s football team, two names pop into mind — Rich Moresco and Chris Coletta. Rich, the team captain and quar- terback had a tough season and completed many fine passes. Chris, a promising sopho- more, was the leading strength behind the team. He is expected to do well in the coming years. The Comets have shown improvement this year over past seasons. We hope for an even better season next year. 144 HIGH LIGHTS Coquette practice came in handy. Football is a game of strength HIGHLIGHTS 145 Homecoming Day A day to remember 146 HIGHLIGHTS The halftime show. Before the game. “Has anyone found my contac lens? The Homecoming plane? A standing room only crowd of Hicksville fans watched as the Baldwin Bruins defeated our Comets by a score of 20 — 10. Despite the loss, Homecoming Day got off with a bang as Penny Wayne was crowned Homecoming Queen. The floats, hailed as “The best in years,” were displayed before the game. The best float was chosen during half-time. This award for best float went to the ambitious Junior class, toting the slogan Uncle Sam is a Hicksville Man. To top off the festivities, a dance sponsored by the Junior and Senior classes was held after the game. The game is over. HIGHLIGHTS 147 Half-time entertainment Under the direction of D. Larsen, the March- ing Comets entertain all the crowds at school football games, basketball games and other school functions.

But as long as you can feel all you’ve shared and gone through together with memories to remind you of moments spent together yesterday and hopes and plans that you’ve dreamed for tomorrow, as long as you can sit and think of where your friends are and what they are doing — if you can hear their voices, All will be there; close to your heart and on your mind. No matter how far away the years may take you, each off in your own direction — drifting off with time. But who knows? Someday you may miss all you once had years ago, young and forever friends gone today so slowly faded away. Old friends you are by now, with all those memories and times together, so far behind you — Faded into your lives. — JUDY SOMER — SENIOR 159 - .jv� V. .'v ■ : .v •• • Xr •■ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ---------------------------------------------------------------------■ - ; - � 's. v .V • .-a « .? •;£ y. ..Sf-ss a . ■� r.-. jj.V i •'•■'ri Valedictorian Salutatorian Frances Harris Jonathan Jacobson Top Fifty Frances Harris Jonathan Jacobson Steven Verolla Eileen Bickard Thomas McPartlin Debra Errick Robert Farley John Klein Angela Santamaria William Aversano Valerie Crown Meryl Blumenthal James Waller Stephanie Dircks Lynn Karcich Kathleen Stiehle James Landy James Conboy Craig Smilovitz Judith Somer Douglas DeSimone Nora Neshta James Reynolds Karen Granirer Edward Bossong Charles DiSalvo Mary Ellen Whelehan Bruce Farquharson Lisa Puig Carolyn Toole Chad Greensberg Lisa Miller Stephanie Sadies Matthew Barry Leslie Becker Maryalice Lambert Joyce Cooper Frances Mackey Christopher Kloenne Timothy Shizume Karen Ribaro Barbara Asam Michele Jacobson Karen Frances Peter Calvanese Jo-Ann Macik Vrej Halajan Mona Dastin Gina Torio Kevin Kelly I TV-' V f tv. r ' V.' • - Regents Scholarships 0 Winners Thomas McPartlin Mary Haller Helene Apuzzi Lisa Miller Bernard Hallstein William Aversano Thomas Moeller Howard Hellinger Matthew Barry James Morrison Lilnda Jagusiak Leslie Becker Gerard Mulligan Lynn Karcich Eileen Bickard Laura Patoyian John Klein Philip Bilello Steven Pauly Mary Lambert Victor Budzitowski Angela Santamaria David Levenstein Frank Cerone Roy Selkin Charles Levine James Conboy Timothy Shizume Frances Mackey Jeffrey Conte Thomas Slome Nanci Milgram Douglas DeSimone Craig Smilovitz Patrick Mulligan Charles DiSalvo Kathleen Stiehle James Penndorf Debra Errick William Supon Stephen Pryor Robert Farley Charles Thorwarth John Rhodas Bruce Farquharson Carolyn Toole Brian Schnorman Andrew Garger Mary Whelehan Leonard Servedio Richard Gelber Peter Wilby Scott Tallamn Glenn Goldis Alternates Marc Thaler Chad Greensberg Andrew Bloom Steven Verolla Steve Grossman Meryl Blumenthal Richard Warren Frances Harris Gary Braches Gary Webster Jonathan Jacobson Henry Charles Paul Wexler William Jagde Thomas Coppola John White Harold Johnson Frank Crosio Cheryl Wulforst Kevin Kelly Valerie Crown Regina Zallwick Iris Kinzer Michael Devine Gino Zamparo Christopher Kloenne Stephanie Dircks Nursing Scholarships James Landy Karen Frances Barbara Asam Scott Leitman Joseph McDonnell Karen Granirer Gregory Haesler Maureen Kelly National Merit Scholarships Finalist Bruce Farquharson Christopher Kloenne James Landy Michael Fitzgerald Richard Gelber Gerard Mulligan Steven Pauly Commened Chad Greensberg James Penndorf Andrew Bloom Steve Grossman John Segedy James Conboy Frances Harris Timothy Shizume Michael Devine Jonathan Jacobson Craig Smilovitz Dave Drier Kevin Kelly Kathleen Stiehle Robert Farley Iris Kinzer Robert Wannen Abatelli, Nora volunteer club 2; stud. govt. 2,3,4; homecoming 2; ski club 2,4; yrbk. 4.
