Hicksville High School Division Avenue Hicksville, New York 11801 Students, classes, coming, leaving, teachers, and dai- ly events: a day at Hicksville High School — A! of the Above. C where teachers have the honor of teaching me ' quipped Senior Dave Sel- man. Yet school is much more than that. The school day itself ranged from the students' usual classes to learning how to fix cars and putting together the school musical. Education at Hicksville High comes in many dif- ferent varieties. While Miss Hosie was busy molding her students into prospective artists, Mr. Moeller was telling his young athletes to take another lap.'' The students themselves looked at the school day from different points of view. The student body consists of many kinds of people: athletes, actors, ar- tists, scholars, dancers, party-goers, and musicians, to name a few. There is no one single word to de- scribe fully Hicksville High School and its students. A mixture of courses, students, activities, athletics, teachers, and events combines to allow Hicksville students to become ALL OF THE ABOVE! Senior Alison Frasca combines both her drawing and painting skills to create a repeating- pattern design for Miss Hosie's drawing class.

By 2:43, the halls of Hicksville High School are deserted. Where do these students go? Some rush home to catch the end of their favorite soaps, while others stay in school to participate in extra-curricular activi- ties. The remaining students spend their time in various ways. Two new activities appeared on the Hicksville scene this year. The first was known affectionately as Egyptian Art. This was the practice of piling people together to form a living sculpture in the Egyptian style. The second was a lesser-known ac- tivity — Pink Flamingo Hunting. This sport centered on the hunt and capture of the Pink Flamingo plastic lawn ornament. A popular after-school sport was hackey-sac. A hackey is a small beanbag which is kicked from per- son to person, never touching the floor or players' hands. After school, small groups of students could often be seen hacking through the halls. Students who chose to leave school to pursue their social activi- ties could be found shopping, danc- ing, going to movies, and hanging out with friends. Whether or not students were in- volved in after-school activities, Hicksville High School served as a meeting place and springboard for all social activity. AAWW Live It Up! What is student life? Student life is liv- ing, and Hicksville High School students do a lot of living. Our students express their individuali- ty in many ways, making life at school exciting. School events such as the Pep Rally, Dress-Up Day, and the Ring Dance bring students together, while outside jobs, week- end entertainment, and parties, allow students to form special friendships. Life in Hicksville has its serious moments, too. This year, students par- ticipated in the Blood Drive to help save lives and planted trees to beautify the town. Both sides of student life at Hicksville High School create a diverse and interesting atmo- sphere for all students in- volved. Attempting to make their Homecom- ing float the most authentic, the soph- omore class borrowed football equip- ment from the Physical Education De- partment of the High School.

WELCOME BACK!! After another summer vacation, Hicksville High School students returned to school. Although there were many new faces and changes, the sentiment remained the same: most students were ready, if not eager, to re- turn to school. Sophomores found a different way of life in the high school. Open cam- pus allowed them to go out'' for lunch, and getting a pass was no lon- ger an ordeal. For the sophomores, the high school was a step toward at- taining greater freedom. The returning seniors spotted these underclassmen with their official school handbooks” and snickered, remembering those first few days of confusion at the high school. Juniors had more on their minds than what to wear” and where their classes were this year. The SAT, ACT, and important choices were the talk of this class. In between worrying about tests and thinking about their toughest year,” the juniors looked forward to the Ring Dance and the Ju- nior Prom. The seniors returned to school with great enthusiasm. This is our year!” they all thought as they started high school with thoughts of the prom, graduation, and college. Surely, this year would make up for all the work they put in last year. Cases of senioritis” could be seen as early as the second week of September, and school spirit took first place over aca- demics. For all three classes, it was a new year. Thinking about his summer vacation. Ted Pusi- nelli is unable to concentrate on his math prob- lem. Back To School 9 The Senior float led the way in the parade as well as the competition, as it placed first in the judg- ing. In the tradition of falling leaves and the football season, October would not be complete at Hicksville High School without Homecoming. The weeks leading up to this year's events, held October 25, were filled with the excitement and anticipation of foot- ball practices, float making, a pep ral- ly, and School Spirit Day. Homecoming Saturday started out as a beautiful fall day. At noon, the parade began. Floats from the senior, junior, and sophomore classes lined the road from the junior to the senior high. Even the cheerleaders and dra- ma productions participated in build- ing floats. During halftime the Hicksville Marching Comets played songs such as Firedance and I Am'' as the Hicksville Starlets danced across the field. After their performance, all the floats paraded around the track as the winners for best float. Homecoming Queen, and Class Princesses were an- nounced. The senior class won for best float. Senior Manuela Morin was crowned Queen, and junior Lisa Con- naughton and sophomore Michele Heberer were crowned princesses. The game ended, and the ther- mometer dropped, but the day was hardly over. That night, the boys' gym became filled with music and soft lights as the dance began. The entire day was a huge success, leaving every- one with fond memories of a colorful tradition.

Starlets Sue Endres and Melissa Weinberg use flags as one of their many visuals in the Marching Comets repertoire. WORKING PAYS OFF!! In todays society many people feel money is the single most important force, and it is changing the way stu- dents think. Hicksville students have realized that there is a lot of money to be made in the world, and they are ready to go out and get it. Most students who have jobs work the majority of their hours on the weekends. Therefore, it is possible to find the time to get their homework done. For those students who work during the week, the search for time is much harder. Students must find the time to do homework and study, have dinner, and, of course, go to work. Out of all these duties, sometimes home- work and studying get slighted. Because of the limits on their time at home, students must find 'cre- ative'' places to do their homework: at the dinner table, in the car, or even in a local phone booth. Many students have discovered that, although sacrifices have to be made, they can Find the time to do their homework. Midnight movies dur- ing the week, hanging out with friends, and shopping frequently take second place to homework. When a big test comes up, sometimes friends have to wait. Balancing both school and friends to find time for work is often very difficult — but it is possible. Service with a smile ' is Mike Socdo's motto at the Ice Cream Comer. Finding Time To Work The girls' soccer team charges onto the field to show the student body that they have the spirit at the pep rally. WE GOT THE SPIRIT!! I t is hard for anyone to admit in the 1 beginning of September that he is eager to return to Hicksville High School. Most students do feel howev- er, that as the summer drags on, there is something missing. That something is emotion or spirit. It takes a few weeks, but the blood begins to pump through the veins, and soon it reaches the heart. As the fall sports season begins, more students become aware of the excitement. One afternoon in October, the entire student body gathers for the annual Pep Rally. This is the day every- one has a chance to recognize the ath- letes that represent the school. And it is here that each grade tries its hardest to prove its students have the most spirit. So what is school spirit? It does not end with the Pep Rally. Rather, this is the beginning. From here on, the spirit of Hicksville High School can be seen in everything from key chains and bumper stickers to orange hair spray worn on School Spirit Day. There is a need to make Hicksville number one, whether it be in obtaining blood for Long Island, donations for the March Of Dimes, or touchdowns against the Chiefs. School spirit is a feeling of pride. It is the voice that leads students to say, LET'S GO, HICKSVILLE! -� HOW WOULD YOU RATE YOUR SCHOOL SPIRIT? Excellent Good..... Fair..... Poor.....

Hicksville High School students gave up their normal wardrobe for some very special days during 1986-87 school year. School spirit day was a success with many students and teachers dressed in their finest black and orange. Both the cheerleaders and starlet kickline girls wore their uni- forms on this day. Dress up day, held on Halloween, was another success. People dressed up as cats, tourists, spiders, mimes, nerds, chipmunks, and punk rockers. A costume contest was held after school for those who were wearing proper attire.'' Shorts in the winter? Leis? never fear, it'sjust the Hawaiian dress up day at HHS! Students braved the cold weather in their jams, grass skirts, and sun hats to really give the school a South Pacific air. Dress up days give students a chance to be king, queen, or even nerd for a day. Vinny Longo and Kerrie Sheridan get in a tropi- cal mood for MMS's early winter Hawaiian day. Dress Up Days Ill Students get together for a chat before classes. Pressure: It's around us ev- eryday such as in school, in our homes, at our work and in our social lives. It's a very popu- lar ailment which causes much stress. It not only affects adults, but also teenagers, such as our- selves. In school, we must handle tests, doing homework and dealing with teachers. At work, we must meet up to the stan- dards of the boss or end up be- ing fired. At home we have the pressures of our parents who tell us what to do in life and in school. Much pressure is brought on by your peers. Friends may influence you to drink, smoke, take drugs or even cut a class. We must handle these pres- sures daily. Pressure isn't always con- sidered a negative aspect. Sometimes our friends, teach- ers and parents can encourage us to do things for our own good or that will help us later in life. Can You Handle It?!?! During lunch periods, many students can be found doing their homework in the cafeterias. Which talk-show do you like the best?

Hicksville High School was in- volved not only with school activ- ities this year, but within the communi- ty as well. Many students and teachers pitched in at the Blood Drive to make it one of the most successful ever! Stu- dent Government was active in com- munity service this year when they took part in Hicksville's beautification program. Several trees were planted near Hicksville's business area to at- tempt to diminish its urban' atmo- sphere. A group of Hicksville students worked with the Youth Council in a group known as Utopia to try to raise public awareness of growing problems such as vandalism and alcohol and drug abuse. All in all, Hicksville stu- dents proved that they were a vital part of their community. Senior Patti Esperto is all smiles before donat- ing blood at the blood drive. Community Service tVcrWur UllUftlo and Kim JtrmonMtdtr that school spirit is wtal to evoiy da Many things happen In daily life at lifts. Couples are formed and broken up math theorems are learned sports events are won and lost and friends are made. Students re- alise that all these events cannot be packed into a six hour day and often stay after school. Yet, what is crammed into this six hour day is very important Every day students strug- gle through exams, blow up chemistry experiments, forget their locker com- binations, and generally have a lot of laughs. School is more than just a learning place- it is where we make our friends, enemies, and lives. A day in the life of a Micksville student is one that makes the most important times of our lives even more precious and dear. A DAY IN THE LIFE. . .

Dances at Hicksville High School, like at every school, are often the highlight of the social year. Dances are about once a month and usually have a theme. This year had a wonder- ful start with the Welcome Back Dance . The dance was very success- ful as were some of the other dances held already this year such as the Ju- nior Ring Dance. There is always plen- ty of music and refreshments and plen- ty of friends. One very special dance held every May is the junior prom. Last year's ju- nior prom held at Antun's, was a huge success. Everyone who attended will surely remember that night which was filled with romance and excitement. This excitement was carried through to the senior prom which took place in June at the Crest Hollow Country Club. It was the culmination of all the years of hard work in one celebration. Underclassmen relax on the dance floor after re- ceiving their class rings. Dances Mike Kieman rehearses his lines. This year's first Drama production was You Can't Take It With You.'' The play centered around two families, the Kirby's and the Sycamors who are brought together when Alice Syca- more, played by Qina Aiello, and Tony Kirby, played by Matt Lloyd, fall in love. The Sycamor family, as stated by one viewer, Cathy Eberle, is a wacky American family. The problem lies in the difference that exists between the families. The Sycamors are not your normal everyday neighbors where as the Kirby's are the opposite. The Kir- by's are rich and proud, qualities that the Sycamors are not used to. Heed- less to say, when they do meet, all doesn't move so smoothly. The play was very successsful. It was a comedy with a twist. Most peo- ple probably wonder about what is re- ally important. Every day, we leam more and more about what is impor- tant to us but always remembering that You Can't Take It With You. A big hand is given to all those who participated and helped with the production: the actors, the stage crew with the help of Mr. Quinlan and Mrs. Paseltiner. CAN YOU TAKE IT WITH YOU?

On December 16th, 1986 the Hicksville High School Audito- rium was filled with talented musi- cians and proud parents. That same night the lobby was decorated with the artistic talents of HHS students. It was the Winter Concert and Art Show. The performers of the evening in- cluded the symphonic band, the or- chestra, a percussion ensemble, the chorale, and the madrigal singers. All groups kept the audience clapping for hours. The art show was also a great suc- cess. Exhibits ran from watercolor and acrylic paintings to charcoal sketches. The finest creations of the student body were on display. This evening proved that the combination of art and music makes for a good time! first chair violinist Harriet Young listens intently with the orchestra to the percussion ensemble at the winter concert. Winter Concert Art Show Senior Michael Whitton snapped this photo of Walt Disney World during his vacation in Florida. Many students dream of being in Florida in the middle of Febru- ary. Students at MHS are no different! Although school is basically our sec- ond home, we all long for vacations. For some, vacations arejust relax- ation, while for others, the need to just get away from it all overwhelms them. HHS provides several opportunities for those who want to get away for awhile. The Humanities students took trips to many local museums, as well as their big trip to several European countries. The senior trip has become a major tradition for Hicksville seniors. On the other hand if you choose to stay home, the movies, working , sleeping, and just plain relaxing can be your escape from the pressures of school! DO YOU WANNA GET AWAY?

Making The Fatal Choice Getting into college is not as easy as it sounds. The pro- cess of getting in' makes staying in' college seem easier. Although there is pressure placed on underclassmen, the bulk of pre-college anxiety' falls upon seniors. Seniors take the SAT and the ACT College Exams, AP Exams, Achieve- ment Tests and other college entrance exams. The fatal choice must be made: Which college should I choose that's right for me?'' This decision brings on several questions to mind: Do 1 have enough finances to go to col- lege? Are my grades accept- able? What about my athletic abilities? Can musical back- grounds help? All of these are important decisions which lead up to getting in. Tony Vozzolo, Joe Ambrosio. Scott O'Calla- ghan, and Christine Oargan strive in their stud- ies to fulfill their plans for the future. Getting Into College Mrs. Pascltiner demonstrates a dancing seg- ment for sophomore Billy Ryder in a scene from The Boyfriend. The Drama Club musical for 1987 was The Boyfriend.'' Seniors John Hawkins and Cathy Heberer took on the roles of Tony and Polly, two af- fluent youths who find love, but cover up their true backgrounds in order to insure that it is not their money that their new loves are really in love with. The play is set at a French finishing school in the roaring 20's. The show was described by Gina Aiello as a, . .campy, zany show, alot of fun.'' Ms. Aiello further com- mented, It's one of the best shows I've ever worked on. The cast includes many drama veterans such as seniors Marc Gold, Mike Kieman, Rob Dombrower, Jean- marie Georgiano, Matt Lloyd, and Jeanne Antonio. The play started production in early January and at time of printing, the play was scheduled to be put on the 13th and 14th of March. The play is part of a long tradition of quality mu- sicals put on anually by the troupe.

How many times have you said the following: What do you wanna do tonight? ”1 dunno. What do you wanna do? Well, Hicksville may not be the hub of entertainment, but if you try re- ally hard, you can think of things to do. Most students go bowling, to the movies, out to eat or just hang out. Some students participate in school activities on school nights or week- ends. Basketball and football games, festivals, art shows, dances, ski trips, parties, and drama productions keep some students pretty busy. Occasion- ally, rock concerts break the monoto- ny. Basically, your imagination and your friends. NITE LIFE!! I . r L.Jh Loma Mund and Denise Kratochvil got in the Christmas spirit once school ended and the night life of vacation began!

Academics are some- thing different to ev- ery student in Hicksville High School; yet they possess common goals and rewards for all stu- dents. It isn't knowing ev- ery phase of American History or every axiom in a math theorem that make academics so im- portant; there is some- thing far more valuable. The knowlege and the satisfaction gained from learning is the overall re- ward. Academics help students to prepare for life after high school. Be- ing responsible for home- work, learning to partici- pate meaningfully in class, going the dis- tance” during exams, and feeling the satisfac- tion in enduring are all as- sets that will help every student in their everyday lives. Academics: vigor- ous disciplines for every- one involved - but the ulti- mate rewards are worth it. Being able to say I passed, I learned, I made it through” - THAT is aca- demics!

GUIDANCE: THEIR EXPERIENCE IS OUR RESOURCE Guidance counselors in the high school some- times appear to be just someone who gets paid for Keeping our records straight and changing our schedules to make them more suitable to our needs and desires. But that's not really true. There is more to a counselor than that. Tor the benefit of college-bound students, they must Know a lot about different colleges and uni- versities, the courses and majors available, and even the social clubs and teams that one can join. The guid- ance counselor must be able to take the students' inter- ests and abilities and tell the student which colleges he thinks he should apply to ac- cording to what the school has to offer. All this cannot be handled by one person. This is why there are secre- taries. They cannot be ex- cluded from the Guidance department. They answer the telephones, file the pa- pers, handle the crowds and take messages. They are a vital part of making difficult times run smoothly and surely should be commen- ded on their abundance of patience, understanding, and dedication.

Health clas- ses give us information rang- ing from substance abuse, death, and suicide to hy- giene medicine and family life. Teachers provide infor- mation on these subjects with pamphlets, textbooks, filmstrips, movies and guest speakers. The nurse s office can supply us with anything from a paperclip or a band- aid to an icepack and a ther- mometer. Where we receive social health means good friends.

PREPARING FOR THE WORKING WORLD Business marketing ed- ucation at liicksville is a broad and diverse disci- pline that enables students to prepare for entry level em- ployment and to fulfill busi- ness related personal re- sponsibilities. The se- quences of courses in busi- ness marketing education are designed to insure the correlation of business edu- cation and marketing educa- tion, and to provide a variety of options for students to meet sequence require- ments while developing broad-based, transferable skills and specialized com- petencies. Being a business major myself, I have had the opportunity to take several courses and leam several skills to prepare me for col- lege. Every 2.5 years the amount of information in the world doubles.

I must confess that my culi- nary skills are practically non-existent, sewing but- tons is my specialty and my knowledge of a car consists of putting the key in the igni- tion. I realize that one day possibly sooner than I think, the skills in which I am lack- ing, will be very useful.

Mathematics is recognized as a valuable and necessary asset to one's fu- ture. Students who wish to further their mathematical skills have the opportunity to take more comprehensive Mr. Breheny discovers the mathe- matical secrets of the universe. courses. These courses pro- vide students with more un- derstanding of mathematics not only as a required se- quence but as a useful skill in the business world. Math- ematics offers many career opportunities — people can work as mathematicians in business, government or in- dustry. Realizing the poten- tial of mathematics, Hicksville High School has established a math club as well as a computer club. These clubs are a result of mathematics' growing need to be not only in the class- room but in every aspect of our lives today.

THE LIBRARY: MORE THAN JUST BOOKS The library - what can I write about it without sound- ing boring was the question on my mind as I sat there in the library - a victim of wri- ter's block. Suddenly, I look- ed around me and found the answer right before my eyes. Ahead of me was a boy using the microfilm machine to get information on drunk driv- ing. From the resource room I could hear music as a stu- dent listened to his favorite group, next to him was a girl watching a filmstrip on teen- age suicide. I heard giggles and looked at two girls hud- dled together doing intense research on the boy to their right. Another girl sat back in her chair simply relaxing. I felt a breeze pass by me and looked for an open window. but soon realized it was just Ms. Minikel rushing towards a very confused looking boy. As I exited the library I repri- manded myself for thinking that the library could sound boring. I realized that the li- brary is more than books, it is a center of communica- tion, research, and peace. Students taking refuge in the li- brary.

A society without questions is a soci- ety without progress. Sci- ence not only raises ques- tions, but provides us with answers. The growth of a civ- ilization depends on pro- gress and change. This is ac- complished through scien- tific discoveries and their use. People who view sci- Mr. Goldstein identifies an unidenti- fiable object. ence as complicated and boring are quite unaware of science's contributions. Without science neither you nor I could call our friends on the telephone. We could not blast our stereos to escape the monotony of the world. We could never relax by sitting back to watch our favorite soaps or sporting matches on television. These examples are just a small number of the vast contributions that science has given us. Granted, sci- ence courses in Hicksville re- quire the study of difficult subject matter, but they also incite us to think, question and seek answers in order to progress.

PHYSICALLY FIT OR PHYSICALLY PFFT? Senior Tony Labrador grabs hold of a victim. Is it true that the fittest re- ally do survive? If it is, then we should start exercising more. Despite the fact that exercise lessens the risk of heart disease and strength- ens the body, many Ameri- cans are not currently en- rolled in an exercise pro- gram. Our high school rec- ognizes this fact and, like other informed institutions, requires 2 credits of phys. ed. of all students. Gym courses range from dance, yoga, and theater to weight training, recreational, and competitive activities. There are also special events spon- sored by the phys. ed. de- partment. We have worksh- ops in tap and jazz and per- formances in ballet and modern dance. Trips to dance centers such as Lin- coln Center are also spon- sored. Whether it is a re- quirement or enjoyment, physical education must be recognized as vital to our health as individuals and as a nation. Volleyball is a great way to Keep in shape and it's fun tool Members of the gymnastics team find that balancing their meals Is not enough to Keep on top.

Many Hicks- ville High students be- lieve life begins after school. There is a wide range of clubs and activi- ties offered to Hicksville's students who yearn for something more than just soap operas and life in the mall. From the Arts and Academics, to the Ski Club and Round Ta- ble Club, activities avail- able at Hicksville High School are so diverse that there is something to appeal to everyone. All clubs this year were ac- tive in community ser- vice, took various field trips and planned pro- ductions and exhibits within the school.

The band was un- der the direction of newcomer James McRoy, and flourished under his com- mand. Pops worked his drum line for over ten hours a week while kick- line coach Nancy Hosie pushed her girls to perform brilliantly. In the band's first competition of the year, they placed second in their division. Their routine consisted of Fiero , a fast paced opener, Enchanted King- dom , and I Am , a closing ballad. When the year came to a close, seniors in the band, Jim Moehringer, Chris Bianco, Michelle Rodriguez, and drum major Tina Tucker could not help but feel a certain loss at leaving the Com- ets, Pops , football games, and com- petition behind.

Tri- M The Modern Music Masters, better known as Tri- M, is an active music honor society under the instruction of Mr. Buttice. Tri- M meets at least two times a month. In addition, they 1 hold a number of recitals both in the 1 auditorium and out of school, such ; as the yearly recital at Levittown !. Hall. The officers this year were President Jennifer Tower, Vice ' j. President Robert Dombrower, Sec-1 retary Cathy Heberer, Treasureri Jeanine Often, and Historian Tom1 Trenka. Hard Work Pays Off Practice may not always make perfect, but it does make improvement. This year's orchestra, according to its con- ductor Mr. Buttice, has done more than improve, they have accomplished. Through much hard work as well as patience both Mr. Buttice's Orchestra and Mr. McRoy's Band have giv- en impressive performances at the Winter and Spring concerts. The Junior High were given a taste of their future high schools talent, when our or- chestra and band played for them on February 10th of this year. These performances were not the only accomplishment of these musical groups. Playing in the orchestra allowed such talented students as Jennifer Lisa (violinist), Nicholas Mun- son (Principal string cellist). and Tom Trenka (Principal string bassist) practice to refine and improve something that they love - music. To help them accomplish this, Mr. Buttice and Mr. McRoy guided, instructed even lectured when needed, their students. As a result all the members of the Orchestra and the Band worked together to make this year a successful and enjoyable one. Senior Greg Markotsisand fellow drummer keep time for the Concert Band.

In order to be in good shape for the spring and winter concerts, they prac- tice everyday fourth period and participate once a month in sec- tionals under the instruction of Mr. Arnold. Some of these stu- dents take their talents out of the class room to perform in va- riety shows and drama produc- tions which attract prospective members. With the redesigning of the music wing this year, there are more people involved in the Chorale than ever before. The chorus room was furnished with sound panels to improve voice quality.

Tons of layouts, pictures, articles and captions had to be made, taken and written! Constant running around made us all crazy and kept us really busy! Deadlines snuck up on us as the year came to a close. We were pressured for time and intormation. Thanks to some great, dedicat- ed editors we made it through. 1 guess it's like being pregnant- 9 months of hard work!

Comet Yearbook 79 What It Takes To Make A Show The curtain opens and the cast bows to an applauding audience-the run of another successful Hicksville High School production is at a close. The audience does not see, however, the hours of work the cast and crew put into a show before it ever hits the stage. Each production begins with te- dious blocking every day after school for two to three hours. After the weekday rehearsals, the crew appears on the scene” to lay the foundation for the sets. As the play pro- gresses, rehersals grow longer and scripts are no longer al- lowed. The cast and crew start to work together on the stage, resulting in chaos, but pro- gress. Weekend rehersals now come into play, everyone think- ing they'll never make it to opening night. The week of the show suddenly arrives and the days are filled with dress reher- sals, tech rehersals, and fix-it- as-soon-as-possible rehersals . Finally opening night arrives and everything is in place,every beam is put into place and every actor knows his lines. The cur- tain lifts, and another success- ful show is underway on the Hicksville High School stage. The backstage crew hauls scenery from the stage closet.

New students are always wel- come to join our theatrical produc- tions, for the typical ‘ drama club’’ does not exist. Students who work on a number of shows are awarded points toward the Inter- national Thespian Society mem- bership and inducted at the end of the year. Director Judi Paseltiner and technical director James Qui- lan help guide the students to de- velop their interests and abilities to make every show just as good or even better than the one that proceeded it. Cathy Heberer and Jessica Garnets are talented Thespian members. President. John Hawkins, of the Thespians. 82 The Honor of Being a Thespian Many people who partici- pate in the drama produc- tions at the high school are of- ten also in the International Thespian Society. Thespians is an honor society for students who have earned at least ten points in at least two shows and two different areas of theatre. Points can be earned in stage work, crew, publicity, produc- tion or others. To earn one point a student must work a certain amount of time. Once the stu- dent earns ten points and meets the other qualifications he is in- ducted in the Society. Although you don't need to be a Thespian to be in the productions at the high school, to be a member is a great honor. The Language Experience! jf anguage Clubs in Hicks- ville High School serve as an outlet for language students to spend time with their peers and to expend their knowledge of the languages they are study- ing. The five clubs meet periodi- cally to plan their activities. Dur- ing the 1986-87 school year field trips, fund raisers, and cul- tural learning experiences were organized by the clubs. The French Club, for example, sold Gummy Worms, lollipops, and other candies to raise funds. Dr. Giedre Kumpiks, advisor to the French Club, took the club to a performance of the Nutcrack- er . Michael Whitton, vice presi- dent of the French Club says that Language clubs are a great asset to the school. They give people who are not from a very international background a chance to learn more about a culture. I'm glad I had a chance to be a part of them. A AAAAW Language Clubs Sven Scheie.

Language Honor Societies Here at Hicksville High, there is a possibility of honor in all of the fol- lowing languages: Spanish, French, German, and Latin. The Language Honor Society offers first an incentive to help young minds push themselves to do well in a foreign language, and second- ly, they provide students with a distinctive honor to be able to say that one has achieved academic excellence in a language other than English. It takes three years of hard work to be eligible for a Language Honor Society. j Senior Peter Green goes Hawaiian!!!

As usual the Hicksville High School student govern- ment did an exceptional job this year. They made acomplish- ments such as helping the Hicksville Beautification program by planting trees in a business section of Hicksville. “It made me feel good because we were doing something to improve the look of the community.” was said by Tri- cia Longo, student government secretary. Pete Flynn president of stu- dent government, has always tried to get the student body inter- ested in the school by sponsoring special days in order to boost overall morale. Examples of this are Dress-up day, which was suc- cessful in coming up with inter- esting and colorful costumes and Hat day which turned out hats as diverse as baseball caps and cowboy hats. Hawaiian day was also interesting in that people en- joyed dressing up as if winter was just a figment of someones imagi- nation. I think everyone had a great time on Hawaiian day, they really got into it!” Advisor to the Student Government is Mrs. Nancy DeSorbo. Missing their Secretary, Tricia Longo are Mike Wallace, Peter Flynn, and Matt Lloyd. Student Government 4 87 What a Year!! Class officers are vital to any class because they maintain organiza- tion and initiate activities. These offi- cers are guided by advisors. This year saw two new class advisors: Ms. Pil- Kington (sophomore class) and Ms. Diele (junior class). The sophomore class got things rolling with their Homecoming float which showed foot- ball players shooting indians with arrows; thus Hicksville on the War- path”. In order to hold a dance or trip the class sold ' Sweet tarts” and Spree” candy. This dedicated class began fundraising before the Decem- ber holidays and continued through- out the year. The junior class had more con- crete plans this year. Their first major event was planning the junior class Ring Dance. After this success, the offi- cers went on to plan their prom. This class also joined the Senior class for Valentine's Day and helped hand out carnations. The Senior class was suc- cessful in this fundraiser, guided by advisor, Mrs. Haney DeSorbo, selling over 200 carnations! The class officers made plans for the senior prom as well. To top off all their activities, the senior class officers planned a Staff Appreciation Day” and served bagels and coffee duiring the day to teachers and staff members. Without these offi- cers and advisors, Hicksville High School students would not be able to enjoy so many activities! Senior class officers: President.

National Honor -Society: Approved!- _ This year the Honor Society did __ _ not stop at community service. __ Probably the greatest achieve ment this year was the establish- _ ment of a constitution for the _ - Hicks ville Chapter of the National ! Honor Society. The exective com- ! L mittee voted on such items as at- _ - tendance and dues and Mrs. Mini- i L kel drew up the final document [_ which was approved by the execu- _ five board. The constitution estab- lished a system to be followed for years to come.___________________j Hicksville's Highest Honor The national Honor Society, advised by Mrs. Minikel, worked for a better organized and more recognized society this year. The society took part in community service activities such as the March of Dimes Bike-a-thon. Members are also active in school service acting as ushers for events such as: open school night, school plays, concerts and orientation programs. Many members at- tended the Veteran's Day cere- mony where president, Jeff Fried, made a speech on the Vietnam conflict. The Honor So- ciety was also instrumental in the resurfacing of Students Against Driving Drunk. One of the Honor Society's major pro- jects is the Breakfast Club . Every morning dedicated mem- bers such as Gretchen Smeltzer and Christine Gargan sold do- nuts in the cafeteria to raise money for the society. This years Honor Society made a promising start into in- proving the society itself. Future plans involve helping the com- munity and school more often through service. This year the Honor Society proved that they are a very active part of Hicksville High School life. AAAAAAAAA Mrs. Minikel discusses plans for the Breakfast Club , while Mike Doherty looks on. National Honor Society members gather in the library for their meetings. National Honor Society 91 S.A.D.D.: Raising Awareness Students against driving drunk, otherwise known as S.A.D.D., is an active group of young people who are concerned with the staggering number of deaths each year due to al- cohol related accidents. The mem- bers of S.A.D.D. hope to raise aware- ness among fellow students as well as in the community. Their after school meetings are headed by Mr. Dalvano, who with the help of members, orga- nized workshops for students in April. These workshops dealt with many im- portant subjects that affect teenagers today. Some of the topics discussed were depression, suicide, drug and al- cohol abuse, relationship difficulties, and anorexia, to name a few. Also this year, as a fundraiser, the members sold S.A.D.D. keychains and stickers with the saying, Friends Don't Let Friends Drive Drunk . The students in- volved in S.A.D.D. feel-strongly about what their club represents and they hope to make some changes, if not to make people think. 92 V Service Clubs Mrs. Walling discusses the Blood Drive with Vol- unteer Club members. Mr. Dalvano plans for the big April Event. Lending a Helping Hand - The Library Club and the Volun- - teer Club exemplify two valuable - service clubs that benefit Hicks ville High School. The order- - ly appearance of our library can be - credited to a great extent to the - - consistant efforts of Library Club -? I members led by Mrs. Minikel, - while students involved in Mrs. - j- Walling's Volunteer Club were - L very helpful in organizing the i - school’s blood drive, and giving - - assistance to both the medical - staff and blood donors. ______J A dedicated Art Club member stays late making pottery on thewheel. Jean Marie Sturz mixes plaster for her sculpture. _ Why Do We Join?? There are many reasons why students enjoy after school activities. Giokazta Molina, a sophomore in Artesia says, ' ‘Art Club gives me a chance to do pro- jects that I normally would'nt be able to do in class, like oil painting. Lisa Boord, President of the Roundtable Club, feels the club is valuable be- cause its the only truly political organi- zation in the school. The trip to the Harvard Model UN was really excit- ing. ' Patrik Ericsson, an exchange student from Sweden and a member of the Ski Club, missed the skiing back home so he immediately joined the Ski Club. The trip to Hunter Mountain was a lot of fun. The slopes were great! The main purpose of joining clubs is to learn and have fun, and the activities at Hicksville High School have provided this once again. u Points of Interest Many students at Hicksville High have an interest in a specific activity that is useful to them in exploring their poten- tial. One such activity would be Ms. Appold's Artesia . Ms. Appold is pleased to see a lot of talented kids who are not en- rolled in art classes participate in Art Club. She says, Its a chance to explore unconven- tional classroom art experi- ences. For instance, the kids have had a lot of fun doing silk screening and sculptures. The Ski Club, directed by Mr, Lupis, has approximately 100 mem- bers. At least 30 kids go on one ski trip at a time. In January, the members of the club took a trip to Hunter Mountain in the Cat- skills and stayed for a day. The Round Table Club, headed by Mr. and Mrs. Cohn, tries to en- courage an interest in the im- portant affairs of the world through involvement in the forces that change it. This year they attended the Harvard Mod- el United nations at Harvard University. Each school that at- tended represented a country. The Round Table Club repre- sented the African country Guin- ea. The members researched the problems of that country and tried to find solutions. Then, they debated these solu- tions with other countrys. In- dustrial Technology, a new club headed by Mr. Matt Sullivan, has seven members who work on different projects dealing with the student's particular in- terest in technology. They took a trip to the Aces Space Muse- um. The Mock Trial Competi- tors, headed by Mr. Salver, par- ticipate in actual simulated trial conditions against other schools in Nassau County. The competitions have been going on for five years. The members sucessfully finished 14th out of 28 schools, very impressive for a newly formed club. Comets Keep Us Informed! Did you ever feel left out because you missed an event here at Micksville High School? The Hicksville Comet newspaper was started to re- cap events for students and to let the student body know what was going on around them in and out of school. Ev- ery issue was packed with sporting news, editorials, activity articles. dance reports, cartoons, and other news. The Comet kept us up to date about school events as well as current opinions students had throughout the year. Illustrator Pete Elynn summed up the newspaper when he said, It's the ups and downs of Hicksville High School — you can be heard ' The paper covered hot'' events such as the big yearbook debate. Both sides of the opinion were printed as well as an unbiased history of the controversy. In other news, Pete Plynn intro- duced us to his Droids,' and Mike Doherty kept us up to date in sports.

The Math Club is a group of students who enjoy working with the concepts of mathe- matics. The meet every Tues- day for an hour under the guidance of Mr. Ronco. The members practice their math skills so that they will be in top form to compete for the Nas- sau County Interscholastic Mathematics League. The club was especially success- ful this year with officers such as president Lisa Cheng and vice - president Shawn Kram- er. d 31 - Leaders of Tomorrow! Future Business Leaders of America is a fairly new or- ganization advised by Mr. Ed- ward Sullivan for students inter- ested in business professions. President Tricia Longo says, FBLA provides students with an opportunity to sharpen their business skills.'' Along with Tri- cia, the club is led by Vice Presi- dent Haney Massa, Secretary Christine Cheng and Treasurer Cheri Stayer. One chief objec- tive of the club is to prepare each student to compete against other students in their county, state and country. The climax of the year is when the club travels to the Concord Mo- tel to compete against 2000 stu- dents from Mew York State. The preliminary tests at East Mead- ow and Farmingdale High Schools showed that our future business leaders had great po- tential. Last year former student Elizabeth Massa and senior Tri- cia Longo came in 3rd place in Accounting and Economics, re- spectively. The students enjoy the trip, as well as other activi- ties including a tour of the Mew York Stock Exchange. Under- classmen Paul Stettner and Jeanine Frers look forward to a productive year next year as they continue to encourage stu- dents to enter the business world. vA vAAAA AA Vice President nancy Massa, President Tricia Longo, Secretary Christine Cheng and Treasurer Cheri Stayer gather together after an FBLA compe- tition at East Meadow High School. More Than Just Faces! The students at Hicks- ville High School possess many outstand- ing characteristics. Many have shown artistic, aca- demic, musical and ath- letic talent. However, tal- ent is only one of the vari- ous qualities found in Hicksville High School students. Jobs entertain- ment and friendships make our students com- plete. Other aspects of students' lives are cars, dates and college plans. Class trips and the prom are special events that the student body look for- ward to throughout the year, normal every-day events include driver ed- ucation, favorite lun- chtime foods, hangouts, and music. These activi- ties create memories of comical and not so comi- cal events for years to come. The people sec- tion features not only the faces of the people that make up Hicksville's stu- dent body, but everything that makes Hicksville High School a part of ev- eryone in it. Friends Tom Trenka and Matt Car- penter take their minds off social studies long enough to pose for a picture. 100 People %!?r.SJof n CHOICES Student Life Academics COLLEGE: DECISIONS As a Hicksville High School junior or senior a student faces many problems and questions. What to do after high school is the main topic on peoples' minds as graduation day draws near. For many people college is the answer. Although the majority of students aren't quite sure what they want yet, some are making plans to go to Harvard and major in law. However the students who are yet undecided are pre- sented with additional haunting questions like “What college do I want to attend?'' and Where is the money coming from? High school is the place to decide if a student can take the pressure of an Ivy League school or if Nassau Community College would be a better plan of action. Hicksville High School has many resources in finding the right college for you. The teachers and counselors offer not only great advice but also encouragement for future plans. The final decision, how- ever is up to the student. For some graduating seniors college awaits Kenneth Abruzzo James Agnoli Mick Agnone Jacqueline Agosto Gina Aiello Robert Albrecht Lana Alfani Jennifer Alford Matthew Allgeier Joseph Ambrosio Keri Andreski Michael Andrew Joseph Anikewich Joseph Annunziata Jeanne Antonio Michael Apostolidis 102 Seniors Michael Arcuri Maria Aristizabal Vickie Arpaia Joseph Ashton Thomas Asta Christine Bacchi Barbara Balistreri Qina Barbato James Barone Christina Bartolotta Charles Bashwiner Donna Bates Alan Bento Chris Bianco Jean Marie Bollhofer Elizabeth Bonner Lisa Boord Gordon Boslet Thomas Boyce Daniel Bradley Tara Brady Laura Brazill Julie Brenner Charles Brevogel Seniors 103 Darren Brindisi Michelle Broomer Paul Bruno Michelle Brutschin Richard Buck Teresa Busto Christopher Caglione Michael Calleia ESCAPE When I want to get away I drive off in my car. Sound familiar? Well, maybe you've heard it from the song In Your Eyes by Peter Gabriel or maybe you've experienced it. Ev- eryone at one point in their lives has used their car as a form of escape. Sometimes out of frustration other times out of boredom a person pulls out the car keys and goes for a drive just anywhere. It doesn't matter where, does it? As long as it takes us away from the situation at hand, owning a car pro- vides more than just transportation. Driving gives a person a wonderful sense of control and most of all: freedom.

Many jobs at- tended to by students include working at Sizzler, Friendlys or even at Me Donalds. However not all jobs are food related. Many people have clerical employment or work in sales de- partments of such stores as Sterns and Forunoff's. To be able to afford luxuries ,many students work on the weekends as well as after school. Jobs have benefits other than monetary ones. They are a good way to meet new, in- teresting people and also to see a different aspect of the world other than just school life.

She's going out with whom? is a comment often heard as one walks down a crowded hallway at Hicksville High School. Hot couples is a topic often discussed around school. Who likes whom and even who will break up with whom is part of a typical everyday conversation among friends. Ro- mance is on everybody's mind at certain times. One cannot walk down the hallway and not notice hands being held and other forms of affection being exchanged between couples. Sometimes romance makes school something to look forward to. You may want to see that special guy in Social Studies or that girl who has her locker next to yours. Although romance has it's cons, most people will agree that the pros out weigh all of the pitfalls in love! Lisa Chang and Tom Trenka share a smile.

Each day w© enter school and pass through these halls to our classrooms. Through the day, the bell rings and again we pass through the halls. Quiet conversation, laughter and some of us hustling to our next class are common place events in the school day. Many faces are unfamiliar, some we know, some are our friends' faces. However, we never know who we will pass on the way to class. Perhaps we will discover someday that we went to school with a famous doctor or lawyer, some politician, an ac- tor or artist. Maybe a future movie star or song writer could be squeezing through the crowd in the hall right next to you. Who knows? An empty hallway soon to be crowded with tomorrow's best.

These differ- ent musical opinions make the environment in school more exciting. The diversity spans such musical opposites as Black Sabbath and Barry Manilow. Although everyone has different musical preferences, top 40 music is popular with almost ev- erybody. Heavy metal bands like Metallica, Bon Jovi, and Cinderella became widely listened to this year. More mellow music such as Billy Joel and Huey Lewis, however are just as listened to as the Heavy Metal. Fast dancing music by the Bangles, Lionel Richie, and Madonna is great for parties or just for hanging out with your friends. Whatever kind you listen to, music is a part of your personality. It is an important part of your life as it can cheer you up, make you cry, remind you of a special time or person or simply create the mood you Mark Villazon expresses himself through his music. nan Landers Laurie Lederer Vicki Leidig Frank Leone Paui Leone Desiree Leotta Matthew Levine Krista Lindell Scott Lindsley Robert Linge Matthew Lloyd Rocco Lombardo Matthew Lomotan Patricia Longo Anthony Losito Elizabeth Macaluso Seniors SEEKING ADVENTURE and FINDING KNOWLEDGE The thought of going on a school trip always makes a stir. When a school trip is announced everyone screams. GREATIA day off from school!” How- ever. school trips are not just great becouse you miss school. Students love to see their friends Besides breaking the monotony of everyday learning, the experience usually provides some form of information that will be retain- ed because the day was enjoyable Every year there are certain trips made Those students taking criminal law will have their day in court while those taking psychology will go to Pilgrim State The Roundtable Club will go to Boston to see the Harvard Model United Nations and FBLA will go to the Concord Hotel for the State Business cham- pionships. Of course, there are the trips to the museums such as the Cloisters, the Metropolitan and the Guggenheim by the Humanities But the most nota- ble trip wii always remain the senior trip. This year the seniors went to Washington D.C. They took an evening cruise and enjoyed the music and dancing. They spent one day in Busch Gardens, soaking in the sun and fun and enjoying the ethnic cuisines The trip ended before it seemed to have started, but there are memories to last a lifetime, memories of laughter and living together, of mischief and most of all, friendship.

Most of the people that have talent really strive to do their best and to give it all they've got. Some people in school are very talented in sports. Paul Bruno and Jack Herzlinger are both great athletes. Paul as a quarterback on the school team and Jack plays lacrosse. Both players contribute great moments to the school. In mentioning artistic talent Peter Flynn, Michael Christie and Sue Roman come to mind as exceptional artists who have contributed part of themselves through their artwork. Acting talent is also found at Hicksville High School. John Hawkins, for example, has always showed the audience his ability to act. Cathy Heberer has also often demonstrated her vocal talent. Hicksville High School is fortunate to have many students with exceptional abilities in all areas. There are many talented people in this school that deserve just as much praise and encouragement as those mentioned here.

Going to the movies, a favorite teenage pastime, is one that rates high on the list of extracurricular activities. To many Hicksville High School students movies are a great way to escape the boredom or the often harsh realities of everyday life. As many people would agree, movies are also great for dates or just friendly outings. Popular movies range from adventure to romance to horror flicks. Favorite movies, however, are often comedies. This is true many times because laughter is universal and is related to fun. Many students would list their idea of a fun evening as laughing in a movie theater with a big bucket of popcorn and some good company. Two movie star smiles.

It was a tough choice as all the nominees deserved credit. The newly elected queen Manuela Morin graciously accepted her title as did Junior Princess Lisa Con- naughton and Sophomore Princess Michelle Heberer.

I J Maria Edlund, Patrik Ericcson and Sven Scheie, other wise known as the Swedes visited the U.S.and attended Hicksville High this year. All three ex- change students have been active par- ticipants in extracurricular activities. How- ever they have had an impact on a dif- ferent aspect of the school other than activities. The greatest effect they caused was made on the students with whom they shared a part of their culture. Another part of the exchange students' visit that became enjoyable to Hicksville students was teaching them parts of our culture. This last thing proved to be some- times humorous and sometimes em- barrassing. Although homesickness was a part of their stay. Maria, Patrik and Sven always managed to raise their spirits with a little help from their new friends. We hope they have had a great stay and en- joyed being here as much as we enjoyed having them.

How many times have you tried to actually define a friend”? Well there are many definitions one can use . Per- haps we can say that a friend is simply a mirror in which we see ourselves or are they people who help us grow? Various greeting cards say that a friend is someone who knows the real you and likes you anyway. Webster says that a friend is one attached to another by af- fection or esteem. However friendship isnt a dictionary passage or a cute say- ing; friendship is really an inexplicable feeling within yourself that a special person gives you . In any case this old saying sums it up very well: Make new friends, but keep the old, one is silver, the other gold. Seniors Steve Steinmark and Frank Sposato, Buddies Forever!!

Many of these are en- joyed either after school or on weekends. The majority of Hicksville High students en- joy playing certain sports after school. Many students claim that this not only keeps them occupied, but also physically fit. Bicycle riding has gained popularity among two seniors. Pete Flynn and Justin Rivers. Most students have a wide range of interests such as senior Shani DeAngelis who loves to spend her time on week- ends shopping and going to dance clubs. Jean Marie Georgiano and Demetra Drakos also have a wide range of inter- ests. like getting on stage and performing plays. Juniors and Sophomores also have wide ranges of interests; like junior Laura Catanziarati. who goes to acting and dancing classes at BOCES; and sopho- more Denise Beja. who likes to go to the mall with her friends.

It's the start of another new day at Hicksville High School. The bells sound through the dissipating halls and the classrooms are filled once again. From a teacher's point of view, he she sees so many different personalities, each person is unique in their own way. What makes a classroom have a distinct per- sonality is the interaction between stu- dents and teachers. This interaction can often develop into friendships that become memorable in future years.

A typical locker at Hicksville High contains books, clothes, a mirror, some pictures and occasionally food. People have learned; however, that putting food in the locker may not be a good idea because one may discover a new friend eating it. Cute little mice some- times run through the lockers, but they don't eat much. A person's locker illus- trates their particular personality. Some are neat and some messy, some are colorful and some are dull, but they all provide a place to hide one's head when things get tough. Here a guy can look into his girlfriend's picture to cheer himself up and here is where his friends will come to meet him before going to soccer practice. And so, for 3 years a student's locker is his meeting place, his storage place and his home. Senior Jeanmarie Giorgiano shows off an inter- esting and colorful locker.

When the word teacher is men- tioned. very often grey-haired old la- dies come to mind. Many people think of school marms and nasty disciplinar- ians. This is not the case at Hicksville High School. Students at Hicksville are lucky to have some of the finest teachers around. Our teachers often help us with our problems, give us extra help, and get us through the day. With many stu- dents relationships with teachers often develop into friendships. These stu- dents are the lucky ones; for they have a listening ear, a wealth of information, college anecdotes and an occasional chat with these very special people. For all those special people we sa- lute you! Mr. Vetrano surrounded by students Matt Lloyd and Michael Doherty.

Fridays are the days that most people make plans for the weekend. However for those students under 18 it may be hard to decide as it gets boring to go to the movies every Friday and Saturday. Some people are creative about it and make plans to go to the city or do other things like ski in the win- ter or go to the beach in the summer. Going to dance clubs is a popular activity among those students who are over 18. Heartbeat in Oyster Bay and Uncle Sam's in Levittown are an exam- ple of some dance clubs often fre- quented. Whatever your age it's al- most never hard to find a place to hang out and have fun. Junior Christine Fiorello and senior Mancy Massa just hangin' out after school.

Years from now you will look through this yearbook and recall your high school years with fondness and nostalgia. Graduation, far from being an end, is the begin- ning of all your tomorrows. For some of you this will mean college and further years of study and prepara- tion. For others this will mean the start of a career. Whatever course your future takes, it is my sincere hope that you will look back on your high school years as having prepared you to meet and deal with the chal- lenges that life will present. On behalf of the faculty and staff of Hicksville High school, I wish each and every one of you the happiness of a productive life. May the future be Mr. Richard Hogan • Principal Mr. L.

School spirit is ex- pressed in many dif- ferent ways. The most vis- ible form of school spirit is reflected through sports. Participants on and off the field develop a sense of pride and re- spect for themselves and for Hicksville High School. Athletes work with coaches, cheerlead- ers, advisors, the kick- line, teachers and most of all the spectators. Ev- eryone involved feels a sense of school spirit when they come out to cheer the Comets on to victory!! Senior Mario Cirigliano skillfully maneuvers the ball past the timek- eepers at a home game.

However their loss of 42- 28 to Farmingdale, a tough opponent, was considered an improvement. Out- standing on the team this year were Tony Labrador who qualified for the Ronald Atienza and partner tumble on the mats seeking a pin. county championships and won the di- vision tournament in the 170 lb. cate- gory, as well as Tom Losco who placed fourth in the division championships and also qualified for riassau County championships.

A Kick In The Grass The Girls Varsity Soccer Team coached by Vinnie LoBianco had a rough season . The captains, Tina Ca- puto and Lynn Flannery led the Com- ets to where they are now. Despite their record, there were many goals scored. High scorers for Hicksville in- cluded Tina Caputo and Missy Schaub. Other outstanding players were Lynn Flannery and Patty Esperto. The Comets most exciting game was against Bethpage. The game ended in a 2-2 tie. We are looking forward to a prosperous and exciting season next fall.

The boy's team led by coach Hil- ski and the girl's team led by coach Cooney trained five to seven miles per day. This training also included track work consisting of medium distance sprints, usually amounting to three to four miles. The girl's team led by senior Peggy Goodrich and sophomore Jen- nifer Livingston had another outstand- ing season this year losing only to three teams. Jennifer Livingston, who broke the school record for the 5 kilo- meter race with a time of 19:02 also qualified for the state championship in Buffalo and finished overall in 27th place. The boy's team led by juniors Mike Defina and Arlen Strongin also had a strong year. Overall it was a good year, leaving a strong team for next year and high hopes for the future.

Leading the team this year were senior captains Debbie Dilallo and Kim Zagajeski. Both players made All-League, Exceptional Senior team and selected top 50. Also greatly con- tributing to the success of the team were juniors Maria Moone and Tricia Reardon. Team honors included 3rd place in the league and 7th seed in American League. Coach Barbara Feuerstein led the team to two shut- outs against Uniondale. Other exciting games included a 4-1 victory over Ber- ner high and a 3-2 victory over Massa- pequa. Perhaps the highlight of the season was the game shown on Cab- levision against County Champions Wantaugh High. The Hicksville team put up a strong fight to lose 6-15, Il- ls, 14-16.

It's 2:45, do you Know where you'd probably be at this time? Well, most of us are probably well on our way home, but throughout the year many individuals stay after school to partici- pate in a worthwhile activity, intramu- rals. Perhaps the most frenzied sport of all the intramurals is floor hockey. This popular phys. ed. activity takes on new life after school. Players don goggles and carry full lengh sticks onto the field. The games starts and ends fast and furious. The 1987 school champs were the Athletic Supporters, who defeated the Titans to win the titles. The Supporters enjoyed a sea- son record of 11-0. Another activity was box lacrosse. This was open for ail juniors and sen- iors after school. Basketball and weight training dif- fered from these two activities be- cause there were no set participants. Coach Quattrini explained, ‘ Anyone can come down and join the fun. Many came down and did just that. Among these were Sven Scheie and Patrik Ericsson who came to weight training every chance they had. Intramurals are a great way to spice up your life without committing to a varsity sport. The goalie is an important part of a hockey team and adds to the excitement of intra- murals.

The Girls Get Jumpin’! The varsity girls' basketball team, coached by Mr. Kratchman, had a tough season this year with six wins and nine losses. Although the team was made up of many underclassmen with little experience, they greatly im- proved in the last games of the season winning 3 out of 5 games. Outstanding players were Maria Moone who aver- aged 25 points a game and Kim Zaga- jeski who averaged 17 points a game. Varsity player Lynn Flannery practices her jump shot.

Ho, to use a cliche, it does not matter whether you win or lose; but rather, how you play the game. How a team plays involves team- work. Teamwork is combined effort performed for a particular purpose. Teamwork deals with not only how the players work together but also how the team works with its coaches. This year our Football team, coa- ched by Mr. Quattrini, illustrated this quality of teamwork. The Comets were led by Captains Paul Bruno and Qreg Skupinsky. They were aided both of- fensively and defensively by many sen- iors who have developed the skill of working together. On offense, we saw Mike Ednie, Kevin Silvar, Dan Bradley, Brian McDevitt, Jeff Coen, Tom Qretes, Pat Muscarella and Mark Kruger. Lead- ing the defense were Jack Herzlinger, Mike Hogan, Scott Kraemer, Steve Co- laio and Henry Schaeffer. Every player on the team gave it their best. They all worked for a com- mon purpose and on many occasions achieved their goal. Dan Bradley awaits a touchdown pass deep in the end zone from quarterback Paul Bruno.

Cheerleaders JUST FOR KICKS. WINNERS TO BOOT. A few years ago, the new York Mets started rebuilding their team. By gathering some younger players and some veterans, they worked their way up the ladder of success. This year they became the 1986 World Series Champions. How does this compare with Mr. Moeller s soccer team this year? Well, last year, many of the team's best players graduated. This year was one of rebuilding. It was a year used to de- velop younger players, to show them teamwork and sportsmanship. This year's team did very well by making it to the play offs, but just wait until next year! One can say that this year's soc- cer team is up and coming . Al- though the team will lose such seniors as Glenn Kingsley and Tom Kenny, next year's seniors will include Bill Heway and Vinny Longo along with next year's juniors Steve Gourley, Jack Fabrizio and Mike Luongo. The 1986 Hicksville Boys' soccer team holds the stars of the future. 170 Boys’ Soccer Junior Craig Freyerson loses his footing as he shoots the ball.

Many of the best times we had in High School did not actu- ally take place in the building, but rather in our community. Whether it be at a party, at work, or just hanging out with friends, Hicksville gave us our daily requirement of social life. Although there were many places where we spent time, the one that may stick in our minds most is the Mid-Island Plaza. Besides being the work place for many stu- dents, the Plaza was also a special hang-out for many. The Plaza may not have been action packed, but you could always have a good time with your friends. The community is also the setting for everyone's favorite subject... lunch. While some opted for the famous Calda Pizza, others chose nearby Del- eo Plaza. Those blessed with their own car could also choose from Roy Rogers, Burger Ring, Taco Bell or McDonald's. The Hicksville commu- nity was an important part of our lives and a source for a multitude of memories.

In January 1987, the LIRR went on strike to pro- test what workers considered unfair wages. In effect the LIE was tied up for many days, and made travel impossible for thousands of commuters. Many were forced to take buses to either Manhattan or Shea Stadium, and take subways from there. The traffic jams on the LIE were heightened by construction being done in an effort to improve conditions on the highway 1987 did not start off on the right foot when it came to commuter worries.

Closing As I sat down to write the closing section for the year- book, I was stumped. What should I write about? I started thinking about all the dances I went to, the sports I had partici- pated in, the many exams I had taken, the clubs I was a part of and of course the friends that I had at Hicksville High School. Looking back, I remembered all the fun we had at Homecoming and how we boosted school spir- it at the Pep Rally. Memories of the dreaded S.A.T.'s, exciting proms and thoughts of Gradua- tion filled my head. But what was I to write? My mind drifted again as I thought back to when we were Sophomores, getting lost, studying and making new friends were daily happenings. As Junior year came around, we got our rings, took college entrance exams and broadened our hor- izons by joining more clubs and making even more friends. Well, our Senior year is finally upon us and we've got it all; our prom dates, our final averages and still, our friends. In a way I think we would all like time to stand still for just a few more precious mom- ents as we enjoy our Senior year. Time doesn't stand still and nei- ther will we. As we graduate from Hicksville High School, we are not really leaving anything behind, for all our memories will remain with us forever. Memories. That's what this yearbook is for; to keep with us all the precious memoris we shared here at Hicksville High School. Senior Starlets wave goodbye to all the good times they had on Kickline. MaryBeth McHugh and Dana Olsen enjoy a break in the new' cafeteria. The 1987 Comet, Hicksville High School's Volume 50, had a press run of 20 pages and 450 copies. The printer was Walsworth Publishing Company, Marceline, Missouri, repre- sented in the field by Phil and Jacque Blocklyn and in the plant by Mary Jane Dennis. The Comet staff prepared all copy for typesetting by means of Walsworth's COMTRAN-C copy editing software. Type- styles used were Avant Garde, Benguiat, Brush, Helvetica, Lydian, and Souvenir. All index copy was set in 12-point, captions in 8-point, body copy in 10- and 12-point, and headings ranging from 18- to 48-point. 198 Closing The cover was developed and designed by Joan Geiberg at Walsworth's Princeton Summer Workshop, August 1986. The design was printed in Cherry Red, Midnight Blue, and Black inks on a white linen stock, with a clear lamination applied. Thematic endsheet and divider designs were exe- cuted by Ms. Geiberg and the Comet editorial board. This year's volume is special in its groundbreaking inclu- sion of underclassmen, in portrait and in school-life cover- age. The entire Comet staff is grateful to the Senior Class for its forbearance in accepting underclass participation in the '87 book. mWALS WORTH PUBLISHING COM PA N Y MARCEI.INE MINNOI NI VHA
