COMET 1988 What’s The Difference? Many people thought that when the year started it would be incredibly different. There were many new things to get used to. In regard to the freshmen class moving to the high school, everyone was wondering, “How are we gonna move with all these extra people in the halls.” As the year progressed everyone’s fears dissipated and things went back to normal. I can’t get up that earlyeveryone cried out in alarm as they heard about the new school hours. Being on time for homeroom was a serious problem for all this year. Almost everyone served detention for being late. Closed campus was a new restriction on the lower classes. The school started a new program this year called y-time . For 15 minutes a visiting speaker came in to discuss school events. An overwhelming number of students were strongly opposed to y- time. There were many physical changes. Our Art department was expanded with the construction of the new darkroom. The Little Theatre was also rebuilt which was a definite plus for our Drama department. There were many changes that took place this year. There were many new rules and regulations that not all of us agreed with, but when you come down to it, what’s the difference! - L.

Theme Is There Really a Difference? With all the changes that took place, was Hicksville H.S. really different this year? School was... school! Everyone’s sched- ule still consisted of the same ba- sic courses: phys. ed., social studies, English, government and whatever. However, as we all know, school is much more than just schedules. School is rela- tionships. This year the changes we faced gave us a chance to Oih gr d r worked together 10 build the Senior float at Patty Grady' how .

It wasn’t easy staying close with old friends while try- ing to make new ones, but change is inevitable and always a learning experience. One thing that never changes, however, was the ev- eryday problems of growing up and the pressure we face in our teen years. Some of the rules at H.H.S. changed, but high school life stayed the same because it’s we the students here at H.H.S. that made the school what it is, not the rules and regulations.

These things are always present, no matter who we are or where we stand. They pull us from one scene to another, shifting the sets of all as- pects of our lives. Family, career, friends, that someone special, all spinning inside of us at once. Sometimes these things conflict and choices must be made. Tough decisions can make us tear our- selves apart with greater vigor than could a most hated foe. Know that the greatest battles we fought were very often the conflicts within our minds and there were times when uncertainty longed for control - more unanswered questions: When? How? For what reason?. We could nev- er be sure. However, right or wrong, decisions were made. Now it is done, a completion of one stage of life and passage into another. It is not the time to look back upon mistakes and triumphs, but to accom- plish what we desire. Seek then, what lies ahead. - Vincent Drew After a stunning halftime show, kickline members: M. Delhaye, P Manganello. D. DePompa and C. Co- losanti, get into the real spirit of Homecoming P. Corrigan, Y. Melich, Y. Horvath and G. Koutsoubis model the popu- larity of stonewashed denim. What’s Hot - What’s Not What’s hot . . . what’s not, that seemed to be the question of 1988. The popular look for Hicksville students was very casual; The best place to shop was Roosevelt Field; Radio station 103.5, WLIR, WNEW were also very hot; Movies: Fatal Attraction and Dirty Dancing were also in high demand. Trendsetting at Hicksville High will never go out of style. - Vicki Cullen Trends J. Martin, L. Mandell, K. Sheridan, J. Ren- neissen, L. Gomez, B. Thomas and S. Bren- nan do Body Work on Sean's Buick. Trends and Trendsetters People can't be individuals, they have to copy each other because they're insecure “People can’t be individuals - they have to copy each other because they- ’re insecure.’’ That’s what senior Mel- issa Weinberg has to say about trends. Is that what trends are really all about or do students just happen to have the same tastes in clothing throughout the school? Most people dress in trendy clothes beacause they feel like they fit in better or because they saw a favorite star in the same style (does anyone re- member the “Miami Vice’’ look and Madonna’s “Boy Toy’’ look?). Dress- ing in the current popular style may be a way of making oneself feel closer to one’s peers. “I sometimes followed trends because everyone else does - it’s just what's in,” said senior Mike Hoops. Imagine if all your friends were wearing today’s distressed denims and oversized sweaters and you ar- rived in a tent dress or bell bottoms from the mid ’70’s, you might feel out of place. Following trends are a way of keeping from feeling too different. There is nothing wrong with fol- lowing trends . It’s actually an easy way of blending in with the rest of the crowd. After all, it takes a lot of cour- age to dress differently than everyone else. In high school, not everyone is ready to make that kind of statement. Trends will always be a major part of a student’s life. - Betsy Edelstein ft I Felt Like I Be- longed More To The School Who needs this same routine? Sure I see more of my friends, I also see more of homework, reports, etc ... As the intoxication of summer slowly faded out, that’s how some of us may have felt. What is needed to re- lieve our tensions brought about by school? An activity which every one can enjoy whether they be a football player, cheerleeder, band member, kickline, or member of the audience.- In lighter terms; Homecoming. Homecoming had a different meaning for everyone. For senior foot- ball player Matt Knapp, it was “My best game of the year and also my last because I hurt my leg.” Though we were defeated, Matt was still proud and felt that we played well. He stated “We could have beaten them, we just made more mistakes. To Claudine Colasanti, co-captain of kickline, Homecoming is “The big- gest game of the year. ’ ’ This is the first year that freshman took part in the festivities. Maureen Gill was glad she attended, stating, “I felt like I be- longed more to the school.

F omecoming’ ferent from the junior high’s Home- coming-more exciting.’ Looking forward to Homecoming, Principal Hogan described it as “kids having a good time. It doesn’t matter if the team wins or not.’’ Mr. Hogan also was concerned that the ninth and tenth grade would not have an enjoy- able time but after the events ended, he felt confident that everyone had a great weekend. The spirit at this year’s Homecom- ing was one of hope, and pride. We will look back on Homecoming with good memories and feelings of warmth. - Laura Catanzariti Psyched for Homecoming, seniors M.

Volo, H. Drab, and J. Joyce - Burn the Devils!” Float Follies The Senior float was thrown to- gether in such a hurry that it’s a won- der it came out as well as it did. There was only one week in which to build the float, which was constructed at Patti Grady’s house, and as Dawn Trenka said, “With all the complica- tions, the float still came out great and we deserved to win.” Fewer people turned up than were expected, and they had to obtain materials from many different places, including box- es donated by Tower Deli, and giant sneakers from Kim Lancer, a Foot Locker employee. With hard work that continued well into the night before Homecoming, the senior class man- aged to make a float that they could be proud of, and had a lot of fun doing it. As Jennifer Joyce said, “It was great to see people working together, and getting along so well for a change.” - Betsy Edelstein Senior nominees for Homecoming queen, Ni- cole Adamec, Pam Risica and Dawn Trenka anxiously await the results. I love the people 1 work with — we help each other with our jobs. Many of our fellow students are employed at McDonald’s, Burger King, or White Castle. Those jobs are not very interesting. What follows are very exciting and interesting jobs which many of us might find desir- able. Claudine Maas, a junior, works at Work the exclusive George Washington Manor Restaurant. She is a hostess and cashier and really enjoys working there. Claudine works on weekends so her job does not interfere with her grades. Another responsible student, se- nior Greg Sholl, works at Video Guest. His boss thinks he is very responsible and allows Greg to watch the shop. He does everything from being a cashier to handling tapes. A junior, Diane Boehmler, is em- ployed by her father. She types data into a computer. Large corporations are now using computers so after high school Diane may be employed by a large corporation. A very unusual job | Debbie Alexio, a senior.

The rising enthusiasm of Pep Rally '87 as demonstrated by this active crowd. t j % Tastes Great - Less Filling This year’s pep rally got us all psy- ched up for the 1987-88 sports season. It was like most pep rallies: cheering, screaming, and all the other festivi- ties, including the “tastes great - less filling!” cheer from the freshmen. Eddie Marshall, a junior who re- fers to himself as “Mr. Sociality,” commented, “I personally believe that this year’s pep rally lacked the “pep!” “I really enjoyed the pep rally be- cause it was fun and the team had a lot of enthusiasm,” said freshman Leda Acemoglu. Pep Rally ’88 put the spirit back into “Hicksville.” - Dave Sacrestano “Let’s go . . . Get psyched . . . Let’s go . . . DY- NAMITE , roars Kim Hetner with the varsity cheerleaders at the Pep Rally. I In The Spirit ff School spirit is often lost in the shuffle. “There were a lot of fun times, Mr. Salver responded, when asked to comment on school spirit at the time he first arrived at Hicksville, in the 1960’s. This holds true today when many of us recall the good times we’ve had here. However, school spirit now is not nearly the same as it was years ago. Mr. Horne remarked, “Classes were much smaller and everyone was a more closely knit group. These days it is more difficult for school spirit to be high on people’s lists of priorities. Many people have jobs and this often doesn’t allow time for participation in extracurricular activi- ties. Although some students do man- age to balance several after school ac- tivities, a job, and school work, most get loaded down with work and often school spirit gets lost in the shuffle. “Homecoming was great! ex- claimed Nik Rogers, a junior, who at- tended the game, even though we lost. There was, in fact, a lot of school spirit as the Hicksville team was cheered on by loyal spectators, old and young. The annual pep rally was fun for all who at- tended, as many students and teach- ers wore black and orange to illustrate their school spirit. Hicksville school spirit is not the same as it was several decades ago, but it does exist and is on the rise! - Giokazta Molina ■ ' The Best Part Of School f f I love to go dancing, party, and sleep late. What do you do on the weekend? When asked what they did on the weekends, many people’s responses were fairly common. Shopping was a popular weekend pastime for stu- dents. The most enjoyable part of shopping was just hanging out at the mall with a few friends. “I like to spend money,” said freshman Erica Orciuolo when asked what she liked so much about shopping. Although many responses were typical of what people do on weekends, some were out of the ordinary, like bird watching and taking walks on the beach. With all the school activities Hicksville has to offer, many students take the opportunity to join a club. Band is one of the activities that re- quires participation on weekends. “We’ve got practice on Saturdays and competitions on Sundays usually,” commented sophomore Andrew Dwork. Other unusual weekend activities according to Chris Henley are playing the popular Dungeons and Dragons role playing game, and jamming with Seniors Debbie DePompa and Kimberly Het- ner get psyched to toilet paper the varsity football players’ houses, Friday night, before the Syosset game.

Waking up is only half the problem; how you’re going to get to school is the other. Many juniors and seniors drive to school in the morning which is just so convenient. “I take my ’66 Mustang, it’s my baby, my paradise,” exclaims Laura Catanzariti, a senior who is privileged with having a car to drive to school each day. Some students are not as privileged as Laura and therefore must walk to school. As senior Vinny Drew would say, “When I can’t get a ride, I hate walking in a foot of snow.” Walking to school is a very popular means of transportation for many high school students. When asked how she got to school, junior Giokazta Molina replied “Daddy”. Many students get driven to school and they “love the door to door service” exclaimed junior Glen Garbus. Transportation to school everyday is just one of the minor problems we face. Getting through the school day however, is another story! -Vivian Ibrahim Fi Monday Mornings Red Eyes Prevail Although most students do all types of different and flashy things over the weekend, homework is usual- ly left until late Sunday night. This means that many red eyes, groggy thoughts, and an overall dull feeling prevails on Monday mornings. The general feeling of students early Mon- day, is to just crawl back into bed and sleep. On Monday mornings most peo- ple dread the upcoming week with exams, conflicts, and failing tests. On Fridays’ after school, however, there is a whole new feeling. Students are wide awake! No more grogginess, no more down spirits, “The weekend’s here!” said Tina Martello. The home- work is once again left until Sunday nights and the cycle starts all over again. -Vicky Cullen Tim Ryan and Mike Brigandi do their best to start the day right as they cross the Monday morning threshold. Juniors Chris Tanck and Dave Holland make their way through morning traffic while building upper leg strength. Mr Healy and Mrs. Silverberg arrive and gradually slide into their Mon- day morning routines at the start of the day. Monday Mornings It was always good to have a faculty member who you could talk to if you had a problem There were many times when we caught ourselves acting strange because we were comfortable around friends. Chris Hayes, Eric Weiss, and Adam Korothy On Saying no . Have you ever been cornered into a situation where you’ve had to make a yes or no decision? Most likely you have. All of us have had to face these questions at one point or another, whether it was being challenged by peer pressure, or fighting, with your own, mixed emotions. Saying “no” in that special relationship is always alot to handle. It is hard to disappoint a group of friends who expect you to act a certain way. It is just as tough to inflict pain on an innocent person who merely wants affection that you just can’t muster towards them romantically. No matter what, ultimately the most important thing to remember is that the only person you have to live with is yourself and you should always feel that you’ve done the right thing whether the answer is yes or no. Giok- azta Molina When peer pressure struck, we were lucky to have a few real friends to fall back on. Kim Heuschneider, Tammi Bottitta, and Lauren Zoitke. The Popularity Thing nothing wrong with being your own person If you’ve ever seen the difference between a person who stands alone in the halls, and one who is constantly surrounded by a crowd, you’ve seen the results of popularity. In every situ- ation, there is always someone or some few who seem to attract more positive attention than the others in a group. It can be because of a special tal- ent the individual possesses, personal- ity traits, or even for physical appear- ance, although if other qualities aren’t present, the popularity of one with nothing but good looks can be short- lived. For many of the less-popular indi- viduals, there was often a quest for ac- ceptance. There was a constant strug- gle to conform to the lifestyles of the “in” crowd, and the result was usually nothing but a mimic who rarely achieves true popularity. Sooner or lat- er they realized that there is really nothing wrong with being your own person, and they reclaimed their indi- viduality . There were also those who never really paid much attention to the popu- larity of people, ideas, or styles, but rather found a form of self expression all their own. Strong ideas are not easi- ly put down. -Vinny Drew Is there life after high school? yy The basic question of every gradu- ating senior; “Is there life after high school?” Many seniors weren’t sure of what opportunities were available and which one was the best for them. After graduation, there is variety; join the armed forces, go to a trade school, get married, find a full-time job, or go to college. Most of our sen- iors looked forward to continuing their education; the majority planned to at- tend college. Sr. Dawn Galloway felt that “college is the best opportunity after high school. It will teach me a sense of responsibility and give me a feeling of being on my own.” Others felt that the armed forces offered it all. Someone in the forces can learn a trade, continue higher edu- cation, become responsible and gain a sense of self-esteem. Senior Straughn Tyssen Zimmermann’s advice to ev- eryone is to “join the service and serve your country.” He shares the view that the armed forces can provide some great experience for all who get involved. The opportunities for graduating seniors were both numerous and var- ied; it was up to us to carefully consid- er the possibilities and make the choice that will help us to succeed in life. —Laura Catanzariti Jim Malony and Kim Lancer at the final stage of a culinary delight, courtesy of the Boces kitchen.

When Seconds Count; Between Classes My locker speaks for itself.” Do you think you could survive without your locker? “I don’t know what I’d do without my locker, it’s where I put my coat,” exclaims Junior Laura Lombardo. As many of you may believe, a locker is just a piece of metal, but Chris Jaros says, ‘‘My locker is very special to me.” To some, a locker or a gToup of lockers is a meeting place for friends. “My locker speaks for itself,” says Greg Scholl. ‘‘It's got swell pic- tures.” Many students decorate them with various types of pictures. They can be a quick “pick me up” after a dull class. Keeping things neat can be very important in that an organized locker can be a healthy one, but many of us felt that chaos displayed individuality. When asked to describe his, senior Craig Mannion replied, ‘‘It’s cluttered and a big mess!” Our lockers were a mess in our school lives but many stu- dents just don’t realize it! 00 you? - Vivian Ibraham r TH The Place To Be We all remember those few minutes between periods when we made the most of the little time there was. There were those who could be found at their lock- ers, discussing a second period test with their anxious friend who had the test eighth. Although smoking was not al- lowed, unguarded bathrooms or breeze- way doors were ever crowded before pe- riods began. There was also another ac- tivity which was seen by many. This la- bor was performed by the poor individuals who were tormented by dis- tant classrooms and crowded halls. They appeared only as vague blurs, motivated by the desire to avoid the smiling face of Ms. Vrona as she handed out a detention slip for lateness. Whether they made it to their class on time or not often de- pended on the length of their legs. How- ever, putting aside the hall dashers, even those of us with their classrooms nearby periodically had trouble being on time. See if you can remember how many annoyed teachers you encountered by meandering in five minutes late ... — Vinny Drew Linda Albrecht.

Our favorite tunes always added to any get-together. £ : x Kim Ijncrr Tones Of The Times With certain musical tastes, personality traits followed. For some time now, our tastes in music have affected our lives. It’s strange how it almost became manda- tory for some to have their dress and behavior coincide with the stereotype of a particular clkss of music listener. When styles clashed, it seemed there was sometimes open aggression be- tween the “music classes.” With certain musical tastes, cer- tain personality traits followed. For example, there was the clean cut, re- served look of popular rock, influ- enced by groups such as Huey Lewis and the News, Prince, and Bruce Springsteen. The worn denim no-frills look of classic rock was there too, brought on by lovers of Greatful Dead, Led Zepplin, and the Beatles. There were also many who fol- lowed heavy metal music. This includ- ed everything from the softer, glam- metal groups such as BonJovi, White- snake, and Cinderella, to the heavier, more conventional music of Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, and Ozzy Os- bourne and on to the faster, thrash metal like Metalhca and Slayer. Not to be confused with metal, were the paratrooper boots, spiked leather, flannel shirt look of punk and hardcore. This fast-growing music in- cluded such groups as Charged G.B.H. and the Exploited, they drew a more hyper crowd. Certain after school sec- tions of the hallway were always no- man’s-land to the meek as both punks and metalheads frequently celebrated 2:17 with a slamdance-fest. New wave music seemed to be the most popular and fastest growing style among seniors. Groups like U2, The Smiths, and The Cure were mov- ing up both in school and on the charts. The sounds that we lived by will be remembered as an important part of our lives; one that provided enjoyment and inspiration and added to the color of our often hectic lives. -Chris Henley Bill Neway has found the perfect musical re- ply to stuffy classrooms and droning lectures Jeff Stawkowski’s strong interests in rap mu- sic and graffiti gave him a decidedly unique lifestyle. I Kim Lancer It's very difficult to find a place where someone's not in need. In every group of people, you can find a select few whose interests go be- yond personal gain. It is very difficult to find a place where someone is not in need, whether it be a homeless child, an elderly woman with a lawn full of leaves, or an accident victim in need of blood plasma. What was our answer to these problems as con- cerned youth? Groups such as the Vol- unteer Club, Key Club, Youth Council, or Scouting. All of these groups ex- pressed an interest in community ser- vice and unselfishness. Events such as the blood drive demonstrated our willingness to overcome the fears of a new experience by helping someone out. Working on service projects with a club was a great way to make friends and constructively spend time. Mary- lou Bertone of the Key Club said that, “Students learned how to work togeth- 99 er. If you’ve ever done any volunteer work you know what a great feeling it can bring and never forget that even though you may not hear a “thanks,” there’s always someone at the other end who appreciates a helping hand. . . . -Vinny Drew The post donation antics of seniors Gerard Kearns.

Involvement Claudine Colosanti is prevented from telling us all about the blood drive by an annoying thermometer. Angela Caruso, Anne Calise, and Peter Ferandino. Sharing special moments together is an important part of all our lives. The Gift Of Life Many Hicksville students were involved in blood drives this past year which benefitted many of the needy. Betsy Edelstein recalled, “I wanted to be able to know that my blood would be helping other people in need.” Cindy Crociata, a member of the vol- unteer club, told us, “The Red Cross takes the blood to the hospitals where they break it up into five compo- nents.” One hundred and six people signed up to give blood, but only about 85 could actually donate. Many people had low iron counts. Winnie Ng re- called, “I was afraid at first, but then it wasn’t so bad, and yes, I would do- nate again.” In this way, a few caring individ- uals displayed their interest and en- joyment for helping out others. -Viv- ian Ibrahim A tense moment for Stacy Ryan as the last minute pre-donation testing comes to a close. Mr. Aronson is enjoying the peaceful solitude of the I.S.S. room, as excited suspension partici- pants skip through the day. Mr. Pitrelli fails to appear amused as he checks his notes on this happy student, who has appar- ently chosen a poor time to visit the attendance office. Doing It By The Book Out-of-routine changes make us think and compare. There were rules and regulations at Hicksville High which changed the way we look at this school. One exam- ple was the closing of campus to all un- derclassmen; this year they shared their lunch period with Y-Time, which was spent in a classroom. Most of the time the students had a guest speaker who discussed everything from the S. A.T. and career opportunities to prej- udice. “It takes away from lunch and half the time the speakers are not pres- ent ’ said freshman Alex Athanasiou. The school day started earlier; consequently, our school day ended earlier giving us more time for sports and other extra curricular activities. Each year, we need an increased num- credits to graduate. The Board of Edu- cation is trying to augment the stan- dards of the potential graduate. Changes in our routine have a ten- dency to make us think and compare. Good or bad, the changes were there, and they affected us all. -Vivian Ibrahim Our'' Dress Code People from all walks of life con- tribute to our school day. We often identify them by their mode of dress, a factor which many use as a form of self expression. This expression is sometimes hindered by outside fac- tors. The school policies may have frowned upon certain styles. Certain articles of clothing which bore unac- ceptable symbols or phrases were al- ways a problem. There is, however, an- other code which dominated our dress, the codes we set ourselves. For many, the current popular fashions dictated what we wore, and for others, personal preference was all that mattered, re- gardless of conformity. Whatever we did wind up throwing on in the morn- ing, the important thing to remember is that it added to who we are. -Vin- ny Drew Seniors Bill Neway.

Vacation Hotspots It’s pretty safe to say that every student at Hicksville High School looked forward to their vacations. Vacations are always exciting and re- laxing whether we rush off to a vaca- tion spot or stay in our home town. To some, a vacation meant leaving the Northeast to head South to Florida with the family. There were also those who enjoyed going to New York City; going to the Village, a concert, or broad way show. There were also those who decided that they should use their vacation time to catch up on lost sleep, and of course, never forget those who didn’t care what they did as long as they didn’t have to get up for school in the morning . . . - Laura Catanzariti Robyn Price and Steve Einzig on a Disney World tour with friends old and new.

Summer Vacation is a time that we all look forward to. Not only is grad- uation a special time in our lives, but this summer will be different for us be- cause we won’t have to worry about coming back here again the following year. It does not mean however, that there is nothing to worry about, as we will be thrust into a whole new envi- ronment. “This summer I plan on vacation- ing with a couple of friends, working and hanging out before we begin our new semester,” says Kristine Noya. Most seniors feel this way; they plan to spend lots of time with friends be- fore going away to college. Cindy Cro- ciata plans on “spending time in Italy with my family and I’m going to spend lots of time with my friends.” We also tend to feel that summer is well deserved. We have been through some hard times, but also many good times. Jude McFeely looks forward to “free time and sleep,” Two things that we didn’t get much of dur- ing the school year. Summer is definitely a special time no matter what our plans may be and the ’88 vacation will certainly be enjoyed. - Maria Pohanis Mr. J Hog Visions of Grandeur -The Performing Arts ' ' I would like to be- come the best musi- cian that I can possi- bly be. y y Jennifer Tower, a veteran of the performing arts, was interviewed to get a scope on the motivations of a per- forming artist. Jennifer took part in not only activities such as school the school band and drama, but also many extra outside events, which on occa- sion have brought her great rewards. Q,: How old were you when you first started playing an instrument? A: I started flute in 4th grade. I also play the piccolo, oboe, recorder, and I sing Soprano I. Q,: How did you become interested in the arts? A: Mr. Larson, my elementary school teacher, had a great influence on me. He also encouraged me to try other instruments besides the flute. In the Junior High, I tried out for the plays. Q: How long have you been per- forming drama on stage? A: I have been on stage in plays since 9th grade. Q: How did you go about your training? A: I began private lessons in 4th grade and continued for 6 years. Q: Do you feel you have any future plans in the arts? A: At the present time, I plan to go on to college and major in Music Ther- apy and minor in Music JUducation. 1 would like to continue in both flute and voice and become the best musi- cian I can possibly be. I would also like to continue being involved in the the- ater. In closing, Jen had a few words to say about her music career . . . “Music has been the most impor- tant part of all my years of school. I have had such great experiences being involved in the arts. It’s such a super feeling to have a group of so many dif- ferent people come together and work their hardest to make a piece of music come together.” - Interveiw by Viv- ian Ibrahim The H.H.S. Drama Club staff has been putting out shows faithfully and with expertise over the year, but what of the audience reactions? Recent shows have been a one time sellout and most viewers seem to react to the shows with vigor. The Fall Variety Show was the scene of much hilarity and impressive audience reac- tion, most found it outstanding, and truly worthwhile to attend. Events such as Brighton Beach Memoirs and Anything Goes were at- tended by not only students and facul- ty, but by family as well, and who among us has never heard the hysteri- cal screams of a proud mother? - Chris Henley Karen Carmen, Cathleen Doyle, and Greg Simo- neschi.

Manion Q,: What’s next after high school, college? A: Yes, I applied to F.I.T. in the city, Syracuse, and Pratt. Q: What’s your first choice and for how many years? A: Syracuse, 4 years. Q: I’d imagine you’de want to live on campus. A: Definitely, I think it’s part of the process, part of moving on, being close to the school and campus life. Q: That’s cool, what would you want to go into as a profession? A: Definitely art; advertising, interi- or design, art video, but I’m liable to change in college. Q: Art video? What’s that about? A: It’s the stuff you’d see in “Macy’s” where a product is shown on a video screen. Q: Are there any artists who have substantially influenced you? A: Q: A: Q: A: Q: A: No commercial, profes tists now, but Mrs Hosi ly had some influence. What other interests do Besides drawing, I surf to play most sports. Where do you surf, and of the places are private Tobay, Long Beach, and closed beaches. Well, thanks Craig and with Syracuse. Thanks alot, later dud| Drew many ches? some l inny The Next Step Expression in Hicksville High was easily witnessed in one week at the front doors at 9:45 a.m. Showcased through the main lobby were various pieces of art, chosen specifically for their ability to illustrate Hicksville students' personalized forms of emotional and psychologi- cal patterns. Creativity has major impact on the channeling of students’ emotions. Many people use their style to show their feelings. I express my feelings through my hair-wild! said Tami Botita. I also create really wild hairstyles where I work; it’s not a normal beauty salon. ” Dress is another outlet for originality at Hicksville. I buy clothes that look completely different.” said sophomore Frank Porcu. “If I see someone else wearing the same thing, I throw it out. Although there are those who con- form to the norm” in the way they dress, there are others such as Frank Matuza and Grace Thompson who make black their basic color and project a look of individuality. Paul Mclnemy. on the other hand, is found very often clad in col- orful surfer outfits that are complimented by his ever-present skateboard and new-wave hair- style. Expression is prevalent in various forms at Hicksville and it’s the quality that makes us unique. -Giokazta Molina Jack Fabrizio checks out the many faces of the photography exhibit.

This was a thought that frequently ran through the minds of the class officers, but did we realize how much time and energy was spent preparing for a dance? Prob- ably not. According to sophomore class vice presi- dent Rob Allen, there are a lot of steps in prepar- ing for a dance. “We have to find a theme, then design tickets, find a good D.J., check to see if the calendar’s clear, buy refreshments, find su- pervision. and sell tickets, all before the dance!”. Seem like a lot of work? - It is. A major limitation in having a dance is funding. The amount of money in the class trea- sury really decides how spectacular the dance will be. Tickets, D.J.. and refreshments all cost roughly $425.00 per dance. After the major parts of a dance are planned. Miss Pilkington commented, “there is a meeting to get volunteers to help with decora- tions.” As junior Jane Grella says, “planning a dance is hard work, but fun, I had a phone at- tached to my ear!” When you think back, we never really gave much thought to all the effort that went into making a dance a success . . . Vicki Cullen Senior Vinny Drew takes a break from the home- coming dance with a cold coke and a smiling friend. The Shadowed Malls f p ' Events like plays and dances were popular reasons for us to return to school at night, Jy Were you the type of person who left school with a sigh of relief only to return several hours later? As un- pleasant as it is to come to school in the morning, there are those who re- turn to this establishment to merely “hang out”, or play intramural sports. Hockey was one of the sports that was greatly anticipated during the day. “Our team rules!!” exclaimed Paul Aversano on his way to a game. Plays and dances were also popu- lar reasons for students to return to school at night. These events spon- sored by the school included such hits as the drama club presentation of “Brighton Beach Memoirs”. This play drew a large audience and proved to be a success. The homecoming dance was also an enjoyable way to spend an Oc- tober evening and it brought several couples together. Mostly, however, coming back to school at night was a way to see friends and spend either a little time in a non-educational environment in a place where you would not usually find such an ambiance.” — Giokazta Molina Relating To It All ff Why Can Love Be Such a Frightening Emotion? yy Why are some of us afraid of last- ing relationships? Is it the fear not be- ing available or are we too self cen- tered to make a commitment? Why can love be such a frightening emo- tion? Senior Tom Schiffer’s biggest fear is that “it won’t work out and you’ll have to break up. ’’ Let’s face it, no one likes the yelling or breaking-up with someone because both people get hurt. How did you deal with that person when the relationship was over? Even when we said we still wanted to be friends we often wound up not talking. It’s possible that we’re afraid of getting into things that are over our heads. Senior George Koutsoubis thinks that “people are afraid of peer pressure from friends to into things.’’ Joel Horvath felt that people could be “afraid of sex.’’ It’s true that our friends push us or try to make us believe we lave to do things we’re not sure about and they can really influence our decisions Maybe when we learn t fear rela- tionships less, we can dev€ |them more. -Laura Catanzariti Jennifer Kremer and Frank Porcu following a close, affectionate relation- ship at the welcome back dance. Freshman Mike Valente and senior Rich Rothenberger. It’s great when different age groups can intermingle and spread ideas. Family Ties How would you feel about having a brother or sister in school? Would you be embarrassed by having youn- ger siblings say “Hi in the halls? What about having every move report- ed to mom and dad? According to Ju- nior Maria Paradisio, “I don’t mind going to school with my older brother, Mike. We are good friends and we even have two classes together this year. Maria also feels that they have a better relationship since going to school together;“If either of us has a problem, the other is always there to talk to. Would this situation embar- rass you? Junior Sean Tower says, “No, I have never been embarrassed by my sisters, but I might have embarras- sed them, once! One plus about hav- ing a family in school is that its always nice to see a familiar face in the fray. -Vicky Cullen Dawn Boyle and Matt Knapp in the tender friendship they shared throughout the year. Relationships 1 Bob Short and Serge Delaleu hang out at the North Gate. How much time did we actually spend thinking about current events? Leanne Sebastiano on a night out. When our lives revolve around things like school and good times, the events of national or global scope are easily forgotten. The people in the world should really get along better. Graduating in June, it is easy to see why the class of 88’ would be con- cerned about the world they would soon enter. The threats and implica- tions that the future has in store can be just as frightening as it can be ex- citing. Issues such as nuclear war and the crime rate can confuse the mind of someone concerned with preserving peace. Senior Nick Munson strongly feels that “The people in the world should really get along better.” In ad- dition to this, he also offered his view that the world should attempt to work together to effectively end aa problems as possible. Some thoughts that con ran through our heads were t of getting high paying jobs could live with. As graduates, i of the economy may not ha much bearing on our lives, bu age and grow financially, it’ that economical influence will well. -Maria Pohanis A Dark Cloud While growing up in the 80’s, the threat of nuclear war was always upon us, but did we as young adults take it serious- ly? Many young people didn’t really con- sider it such a serious matter because of all the trials of teenage life. Stacie Ryan, a junior, said, I’m not worried about a nu- clear war. I'm too busy worrying about ev- eryday problems.” Others felt that no one is going to start a nuclear war. Nuclear weapons have been created more as a deterent against being attacked rather than to be used as an agression. Kim Ross explained, “There will never be a nuclear war because Russia is just as scared as we are.” Soon the matter of nuclear war will be in our hands. Our decisions on what to do with nuclear weapons will shape and hope- fully protect the world of the generations which follow. -Laura Catanzariti When we look at many of today’s turmoils, the question which may present itself is Why?”- Joe Lecausi Jeff Schroeder checks over an English assign- ment. How much of our education do we use to determine the effects that current events will have on us? Jen McCormick in her 8th period health class. Our knowledge of topics such as Cancer and the A.I.D.S. epidemic are important to our well be- ing. 44 Difference? About fif- teen hundred people at- tended our school this year, a significant in- crease from last year. In the scant moments between periods, we exchanged glances with dozens of people, many of whom were total strangers. The addition of a grade level to the school further in- creased the diversity of its student body. There will always be a wide range of personalities, brought about by an ever growing range of interests. The things a person enjoys and the activi- ties in which they participate are great factors in the way they behave. Often something interesting occurs when different lifestyles interact. From the time we arrive until our eventual release at 2:17, we watch as everyone slides into their own cliques, often rejecting others who fail to meet even the most superficial standards. This form of discrimination can, and very often does, hurt. Certainly every- one cannot be expected to fit right in, but they should be given a fair shot. We have all seen, and may have even been, a victim of dirty looks, or even raw, brutal, nastiness from those who can’t accept us for what we are. All for such shallow reasons such as mode of dress, hairstyles, and the result? De- struction of self esteem, a painful if not dangerous effect. When the next cheap thoughts of judgments enter our minds, shouldn’t we think twice? We all spent a good part of our lives together, exchanging ideas, and emotions, and this is what we will re- member for years to come. -Vinny Drew “We exchanged glances with dozens of people” Football fans of all ages showed up at Home- coming to psych up the Football team. ople 1 Scott Abbes • Robert Abrahamson; Football.

You will never be forgotten. Something f eVn t Health In '88. Shades Of Cool. Who Do Ya' Love? After drinking his milk. Junior Jack Fabrizio ilus- trates his Health Kick I The Bodies In 1988 society places a great emphasis on “The Body Beautiful. Thin. firm, and toned bodies are the symbols of the 80's. Our heros are people like Cher, Arnold Schwartzenager. Dolph Lundgren, and Ra- cheal McLish (Miss Olympic 1986). With idols like these the average person could go cra- zy comparing themselves with them. Well, they do and the diet craze is upon us. It seems like the whole world, including Hicksville, is on some kind of a diet. Some are on protein diets to gain weight while others are on water drops to lose weight. Every- day people starve or stuff themselves to ful- fill their fantasies of having perfect bodies. Being on a diet is only the beginning of this craze. Exercising and lifting weights is a big part as well. After school the weight room is open to anyone who wants the op- portunity to work out on the machines. Guys and girls alike are often found putting in long hours in the weight room. Each indi- vidual has their own reasons which drive them to sweat and tackle the pain. The “athletes work out to improve their perfor- mances. The ‘others' do it because they are worried about how they're going to look in the latest swim wear. Senior Jean Harkins, a track member, spends her share time working on the weights, “I like to workout to feel good about myself, she said. Working out can give a boost to your self esteem. By working out, a person can ft I like to work out to teel good about myself. gain much more than muscle. Confidence, and self respect, are often gained as well. Freshman Erica Moncayo works out be- cause she feels it “keeps your confidence up and teaches you to finish what you be- gin. Working towards goals we have for ourselves results in much more than beauti- ful and healthy bodies. Working out can in- crease self esteem. Knowing how great we'll feel and look when we're through gave our hearts and minds the motivation to keep going even when our bodies were begging us to stop. The gaining of muscle is the primary objective of the 1980's, but to experience total health you must sense your own importance. - Laura Catanzariti The performance of “wipe out at the Variety Show exhibited the healthy bodies of 1988 72 Something r v f V eelin' ealth HAPPY ; or carrot sticks? What a vision! For many people of our genera- tion, this choice may be quite simple. Some are health food maniacs; others are junk food junkies. Although junk food may be a hard habit to break. Senior Chris Henley feels that junk food is necessary, Tm a growing teenager, I need my junk food!! Even so, the bare facts are that many of our friends are passing up those fries for carrots and other healthy foods. The reason for this phenomena is most likely due to the vast amount of informa- tion that we have access to through the media. More and more, the impending threat of high blood pressure, cancer and heart disease are surfacing into our world. Commercials depicting thin, to- ned, and healthy bodies often make us feel inadequate. In response to the mes- sage being sent to us, we diet, exercise and try our hardest to have the perfect body. Knowing the effect junk food has on his body Junior Dave Dobrindt doesn't eat much candy, and he tries to eat healthy. The temptation of rich foods and plain old junk is too much for some of us, however. I eat lots of potato chips and candy, commented Freshman Lisa Pacifico describing her usual diet. Al- though Lisa eats food that would make some of us feel guilty, she remains a thin healthy girl. Metabolism is a dirty word for some people due to their own metabolic rate. While some people can eat any- thing they want, others are forced to de- prive themselves of their favorite foods for the sake of remaining slender. Many of us diet and try endlessly to achieve commonly accepted body shapes This feat is not easily accom- plished and at times may not even be healthy. However, the key to being hap- py with yourself is to try and live up to your own reasonable standards instead of ev- erybody elses. This s the feat you must re- ally strive for. - Giokazta Molina . I'm a grow Tracy Putman and Dawn Boyle, reaBy know the ingredients of a healthy happy body. Jeff Frey tries to keep physically fit and main- tain a stable body. You're doing a great job, Jeff! Senior Pat Seiden fights the pain of his injury until finally he overcomes it. Congratulations. Pat. on winning the battle! I ull yourself away from reality for a moment and picture this; you're in a familiar scene, I one that you've wandered through many times before. It's a school hallway, yet it's not on a specific floor or near a particular room. It's the end of the day and as you wander on. you weave through crowds of people who stand talking in the dead center of the corridor. They are totally oblivious to your passing, and you pay little attention to them until you manage to make out one small phrase which eminates from their mouths, that's cool! STOP; your mind races to define the word but suddenly an obscure collage of images floods your mind. You then re- alize that your individual definition of cool may not be identi- cal to the one the speaker possessed. Senior Melissa Weinberg adjusts the shades one bright day as a cool breeze caresses her face and cool thoughts run through her mind. □ □ TVfaU ct ntecut? Now think back to reality. You know you've heard the term cool so many times in the past and you have your own ideas of what it means. How does something qualify as being cool? It's a strange thing how people can constantly use the term so generally and yet have such specified qualities that they attribute to it. Did the way seniors dressed in 1988 make them cool? To some, an offbeat style was indeed considered as such. How- ever, others preferred a more traditional look which they also considered to be cool. We sometimes tended to label some- thing cool based on how popular it was. While you wondered how some things like argyle socks were ever considered cool, the person next to you may have been wearing them. Does this situation make that person uncool merely because of your opinion and maybe a few others? Sometimes it seemed it did. There is no specific definition of cool because many dif- ferent things are favored by different people. Having friends who will stand by you and having your opinion respected are two things that all will agree are cool, and nothing should way of either of the two. - Vinny and Giokazta Molina The Variety Show activates the cool chromosomes in seniors Al- isa Bayer and Sue Squires stand in the Drew 74 Something f R Mike Gutradt exercises his surfing ability atop Ron Sargent's car as Mike Zim- inski and Rob Schantz look on in envy. Arriving at school, Vin- ny D'Angelis strides through the parking lot, the essence of cool. p i ♦ i ♦ a The main idea behind this Mini-Mag, was to do something completely differ- ent and unexpected. It's a fun section of the book that I hope also provides you with a sense of what 1988 was all about. What it's all about is you. your interests, concerns and opinions. In compiling these few pages, it was often necessary to search out many different opinions about our topics health relationships and other teenage concerns. To have attended Hicksville High School and to have been a part of this generation means something different to each of us. However, as teens we all share certain insecurities, emotions and ideas. The goal of the Mini-Mag is to illustrate those elements that we have in common despite our differences and demonstrate how these things are what unite us - Giokazta Molina Managing Editor 3 Something % S e V t 75 Take a good look at all of the different feelings that you have for the many people in your life. There are so many things to consider, so many dif- ferent relationships, but they all have one thing in common. They're all nec- essary. The relationship we have with our par- ents, whether we live with both or not, is the one re- lationship that has undergone the most change. We grew older and as we did, our needs and wants radi- cally changed. In most cases, we still want and need their sup- port, but we also desire the freedom to chase our own aspirations. Our friends have always been there, though their faces may have changed. We'd all like to think that by now we know who our real friends are. and what they stand for. Bonds of friendship held close to the heart have more power than we imagine, and it is realistic to feel that a close friend you have now will be a close friend forever. Got anyone in mind? If not, you certainly will, and if so, consider yourself fortunate indeed. At this time in our lives, a third type of relationship is probably well underway. If so, it soon becomes a top priority, and also one of the best parts of our lives. If you can remember the feeling you had the first time that special girl let you know that she had deep feelings for you and that she wanted to share a special part of her life, you know what a wonderful feeling it is. Soon we tend to find someone who re- ally makes us feel good in every way. Comfort, compassion, companion- ship, love, these feelings are shared and made strong. You find inner strength and an iron will when she offers an I love you in time of need. Keep her well and give her the warmth she needs. Hold her tight in times of doubt and look into her eyes, and most of all. find the feeling that makes you whole .. . - Vinny Drew You find inner strength Mr. Quinlan pretending to control audio mechan- isms. sends secret messages through his head- ■■■■■■■■ tender moment at the Homecoming Dance. Seniors Chris Aydinian, Dawn Galloway and Pam Manganello illustrate true friendship with a hug. The stage crew of Anything Goes exemplify a close knit family She Says. No one ever came out and actually told us from the beginning how hard relationships could be. but we had our suspicions from the very start, didn't we? The first encounters in- volving a one-on-one relationship began way back with our parents. Even if we did get along with our parents at some point, many of us have a more difficult time of it now. The main problem with parental rela- tions is communication. according to se- nior Janis Frankel. Yes. it's true. We often find ourselves talking a completely different lan- guage than our parents'. If they say. Its a cool day we may translate that to hit the surf! when al it really means to them is; put on an extra layer of clothing. Oh well! After a little while we get used to their language and they get used to ours. Our teachers are another story. They expect too much from us. thinks junior Tam- my Wood. Not only that, but they may make the pressure of school become such a bur- den. that it would overwhelm us. There is al- ways. however, that one special teacher who you know is there for you. The funny part is that this teacher is usually not on easy teacher whose class is a breeze. This type of teacher, the good friend, has the understanding of Bill Cosby, the personality of Eddie Murphy, and the face of Patrick Swaze. Despite everything they have going for them, they usually make us actually think. We don't all have a teacher like this, but even if we don't, we stil have our friends .. . right? Friends can be a real help when you're depressed but they can also be smothering and there's always that big fight that you get into eventually. The worst fights ore over boys, but if you have a really good friend it doesn't really matter be- cause no boy is worth losing a friend for... right? Well think about it, okay? Whoa! Boys are the one subject that con really blow your mind at times. It seems that all of our relationships up to now have been geared to prepare us for the final confrontation, boys. No. its not that momentous. Its just confusing. Having a relationship with a guy is veryconfusing. It takes a while to realize that they're just like us except for one teeny little difference ... they're usualy forced to take the initiative and ask us out. Some of us may have tried to change this norm at one point but it can backfire and then re- main a painful and embarrassing memory. Imagine how they must feel? Feel a little sympathy now? Yeah Relationships are not easy but as long as we know that we're not alone, we'll survive and eventually we'll grow up and all of this heartache and confu- sion will be over. Then again, do we really want to grow up? You answer that.

Do you remember your dedication and persis- tence? The peo- ple around us of- fer a significant amount of influence. Parents, teach- ers, friends and heroes all can play a part in the way we live our lives. One of the goals of school is to assume one of these roles. All through the year, the idea was not only to teach us facts and figures, but also organization, dis- cipline, and special values for us to use in later years. Along the way, we often found our- selves drifting through classes which seemed to have no effect on our cur- rent lives, straining us toward bore- dom. It’s fairly safe to assume that we were not expected to keep some of the information we learned in our heads long after the finals — so what’s the idea? Certainly we do wind up using at least some of the skills which we have learned, but that is only a part of the whole. The very learning process itself and the responsibilities which it forced us to take on made us stronger and more experienced for the times ahead. -Vinny Drew The learning process made us stronger and more expe- rienced for times ahead As the sun shines on Denise Bonner, she goes into a state of shock while staring at her typewriter.

It’s not easy to find a well-paying job in Hicksville, but in the future what matters more? According to Kay Woodchecke, “I’d have to work at a job I like. If you have to go through life with a job, you should like it.” This may be true, but junior Tom Riley says “I would work at a job for the money, money is good because it buys things.” Does money buy happiness though? Denise Beja thinks so: I’d work at a job for the money, because I’d get my happiness out of the money. “Even though money is a necessity, happiness is too.

Business Education lathing succeeds like success L.I.B.E.C., the Long Island Business Education Chairmans’ Association sponsors an annual business skills tournament for business students. The contest, which is held in the spring, is di- vided into nine sections, but only one entry is permitted from each school in each category. The categories are: Beginning Shorthand Advanced Shorthand Keyboarding Advanced Keyboarding College Level Accounting Bookkeeping Advanced Bookkeeping Business Law Business Math Competition was tough as the majority of schools in Nas- sau and Suffolk competed, but this fact did not hinder Hicksville from taking home a few victories in 1987. Dawn Trenka won 2nd in Nassau County for beginning short- hand, and first place in inter- county. Maureeen Lee took first in Nassau keyboarding and sec- ond in inter-county. Steve Me Nicholas took first in both com- petitions of business law. Winners were awarded pla- ques, certificates, and a lun- cheon sponsored by L.I.B.E.C. Competitions such as these pushed us to achieve and al- lowed skilled students to display their skills. — Vinny Drew During class Kristi Iglio and Patricia Po- halski concentrate on their typing and resist the temptation to look at the key- board. 1 I Relaxed while typing.

Business Education PmjU Dshte Fi Yn And i 'r- - This past year HicksviUe High added many new visual arts courses including Portfolio Preparation, Jewelry Design, and Computer Graphics. According to teacher Joan Gel- berg, the main purpose of Portfolio Prep, is “to help students who want to major in art complete their portfo- lios so they can apply to schools.” Each student is assigned projects, but how they choose to handle the assignment is entirely up to the in- dividual. In the future, the art staff would like to have an annual show of work from the portfolio students. When approached to teach the computer graphics course, Ms Appold jumped at the opportunity. Ms Appold explained that “Computer graphics is the same as any other art class, just on a compu- ter. The major concern is producing images of quality vs. gimmicks. This class teaches students how to create images with a paint system on the Amiga computer. “Mrs. Appold’s students are gaining valu- able experience from the course. Se- nior Robyn Price thinks “it's a good class, a totally new medium that I’ve never used before. I can use what I’ve learned from computer graphics for projects in the future.” In years to come, Mrs. Appold anticipates video production and music combined with art being taught as part of computer graphics. Making a comeback is the half year jewelry class, taught by Miss Pilkington. This course was can- celled a few years ago. Recently, however, the jewelry course has been brought back. The class en- ables students to create different types of jewelry by using materials such as copper, brass, and nickel sil- ver. Basic materials are provided by the school but students are encour- aged to bring in their own precious metals for their projects. Accord- ing to Miss Pilkingdon ,” A main goal of the course is for students to be able to produce jewelry of their own design, not copy anyone elses ideas. The designs I’ve seen are incredible, the jewelry is beau- tiful. “The best thing about jewel- ry class is that you don’t have to be an artist or know how to draw, the designs come from your imagi- nation. In general, the diversity of courses offered enables students to explore many levels of creativi- ty- In the future, perhaps new media and novel courses will be of- fered to HicksviUe’s aspiring ar- tists. — Vicki Cullen and Giokazta Molina Eugene Goodrich puts the final details on his drawing of a storefront during Studio in Art.

In order to do well in Computer Graphics would you say that it requires more creativity, intellect or computer skills? You must take Studio in Art before this class, so it’s really for art majors. What would you say attracted students to take this course. Mostly I think they’re attacted to it be- cause it’s new, dynamic and you get quick re- sults. As an artist,do you think you would have taken this course if you were in high school? I would want it because it’s just another medium through which to express yourself vi- sually. The computer doesn’t replace tradi- tional art, it is only a different way of creating art. — Giokazta Molina Mr Grusenmeyer teaches the fine points of music while his class listens on.

Fine Arts Carolyn PiUgonia The Cultural Fvpliantfp —-------jj- I 1 A m - :f In most foreign language classes, the curriculum not only revolves around the language, but also around the culture. In addition to students becoming well acquainted with the lan- guage they select, they also fa- miliarize themselves with the ev- eryday life of foreign people who speak the language that they’re studying. By becoming accustomed with the different dialects, stu- dents also develop a knowledge of the style and characteristics of the people. In contrast to this development of understanding, confusion can also arise. For ex- ample, different idioms that translate from English into the foreign language can either have a totally different meaning or no meaning at all. For in- stance; the English words for a hot dog would be translated liter- ally in a foreign language. Foreign language teacher, Mr. Gentile, speaks of his inten- tions and what he has his stu- dents learn: “Besides learning the language of the country they’re studying, they learn to understand the people, how they think and act, their culture. Hopefully American students will learn and appreciate other cultures and civilizations be- sides their own.’’ In addition to this, Mr. Gentile also comment- ed, “Students also learn more about their own language while learning a foreign language. -Maria Pohanis i During class Srs.

The scores we earn have a great in- fluence on what is going to hap- pen with our lives after high school. Some seniors won’t get into their first choice of college because of a low score on the S.A.T. Sr. Jessica Garnets is up- set about the importance of the S.A.T. “The S.A.T. shouldn’t be the most important factor in det- erming acceptance to a college.” Thank goodness that there’s help. Our school as well as private companies have set up S.A.T. programs to prepare stu- dents for the test. These courses are designed to teach students how to take the S.A.T. Jr. Tho- mas Reilly was enrolled at the Hicksville High School program. Thomas feels, “It will improve my score which will help me get into a better college for a better future life.” Unfortunately, not that many students get involved in this course. Some students don’t know that these pro- grams exist. Sr. Tony Walker was one of those students. “I didn’t know there was a course, but if I did I might’ve taken it to improve my S.A.T. scores and look better to col- lege.” With the help of S.A.T. courses students can improve their scores and hope for a bet- ter future. — Laura Catan- zariti In his office, Phys.

It was 10:27, and mobs of freshmen rushed to the cafete- ria, with only one thing on their minds — FOOD! But was this food good for them? Probably not. For openers, whoever heard of three-bean salad with only one bean (green) in it? As for the en- tree. it was usually hard to tell the difference between the veal and the chicken parmigian. So that’s why most students avoided the “balanced menu” and headed for the junk food. It was bad for them, but it tasted better. Jackie Noya, for in- stance, ate pizza and chocolate milk for 181 consecutive school lunches. “It’s the only thing that ever looks any good,’’ she exclaimed, admitting that she occasionally supplemented her diet with french fries (Greasy and raw) or onion rings (‘Indigestible’). Lisa Kramer, when asked, was not ashamed of her love for Grape Fruit Punch. “It’s always half frozen,’’ she remarked, “but its got lots of sugar in it.’’ In fact, sugar seemed to be the de- ciding factor in the popularity of most cafeteria food. Cookies (Butter Crunch, Fudge Chip, and ice cream (cremcicles, ice cream sandwhiches, ice juces, cones, etc.) were universally praised. Megapretzels were one of the few sugarfree favorites. When the cafeteria failed, students could always fall back on the Comet Shop. Glenn Dodge lived for Combos — “especially nacho flavor,” he said. “Fifty cents is a small price to pay for avoiding sloppy joes in the cafe- teria. ’’Other Comet Shop snacks included Velamints, Lu- den cough drops (cherry pre- ferred), sunflower seeds, and Planter’s peanuts. So maybe the average high- school diet was not so healthful. But school life still afforded stu- dents plenty of opportunity for some sort of exercise. Every graduate-to-be needed to have accumulated at least two phys- ed credits to receive a diploma, and there were lots of courses from which to choose , including Phys-Ed for actors and Weight Training and, of course, there was always the universal school day exercise — running late to class . . . again. — Erica Or- ciuolo A typical gym class in action shows that Mrs. Cohn has a heated discussion con- playing volleyball is fun and is also good cerning drug and alcohol abuse with her exercise. health class students.Chris Doyle and James Collins.

Dancing on stage is a part of the curriculum that stu- dents enjoy in the class specifically created for aspiring ac- tors and taught by Mrs. Paseltiner. Actors at play For the past three years drama students had a chance to get involved in Physical Education for actors, which is a great introduction to the theater. The class is split into two parts; the first day or part is a regular drama class and the second is physical activities relating to the theater. In the Drama class the students play theater games and study acting techniques such as improv, mime, and repeating excerises. Students perform mono- logues and scenes and afterwards they comment on each others work. The drama part of the program emphasizes observation, imagination and concen- tration. The physical part of the program gives stu- dents a chance to study dance fundamentals; body movements; fencing, stage combat techniques and simple stunts like fainting, falling and dying. Stu- dents combine what they learn from both parts to- gether into a complete performance. Physical Education for Actors offers a lot, but as Jr. Jane Grella explained, What you put into the class is what you get out of it. -Laura Catanzariti Health and Phys. Ed. I found it movies “We’re watching a movie to- day! ”, was a phrase joyfully ex- claimed by several students as they walked to class. A film shown in any class very often marks the minimum amount of work to be done that day. Films are usually regarded as a break from everyday classroom activi- ties in all classes, except maybe math, where they equal a na- tional holiday. Films are shown in such classes as phys. ed. In dance class, the movie White Knights, starring Mikhail Bar- yshnikov was shown. According to Ms. Buffalino, “The movie was shown in order for the stu- dents to acquire exposure to var- ied dancing styles.” In Science, the films shown are more instructional and often the films require notetaking. This is not very popular among students but is sometimes nec- essary. In Biology, students look forward to watching, “Hemo”, a cartoon character that teaches the importance of blood cells and hemoglobin in the human body. As well as being instructional, this film is enjoyable. “Films shown in Physics Sophomores Jennifer DeGroff, Marilyn Wood.

Although films shown in physics class often involve a series of interesting experiments they are not as enjoyable to watch as to per- form.

You’re always told what you can do in the library - but have you ever stopped to think about what you can't do? You know right off the bat that you’re not supposed to talk OUT LOUD! All talking is to be kept to a minimum so that others trying to study can have quiet. In addition to a dull roar, you are told not to play radios in the library; even if it is elevator music. “Put that sandwich away, no food,” exclaims Mrs. Min- nickle as she yells at you for eat- ing your lunch. You ask why can’t you have food in the li- brary? As Mrs. Hruskan would say, “Would you like to be read- ing a $90 book and have the kid next to you spill his soda all over it? Besides, I hate the smell of tuna fish. . . and who wants ants in your books?” Mrs. Arnone adds, “When the person next to you has got soda, you wish you had one, too”.

Sometimes student behavior de-feets the whole purpose of library study, as Mrs. Minickle can attest. to say - books are supposed to be read; not written in! Most of you understand this, but still insist on scribbling notes in the books. You don’t have a dime? But you need this page for your report? But didn’t you know that you can’t rip out pages from a book? Similarly, you can’t take out ref- erence books; you have to photo- copy what you need. As you leave the library you better check your pockets and your purses because if you’ve got any cassettes or computer discs, the sensory will erase them!

They are easy to spot in the hall — high- water pants, pocket protectors, misbuttoned sweaters, and high- tech calculators. But for others the calculator is a mixed blessing. “Sometimes I think of math as a puzzle,” ad- mitted Danielle Pagoulatos. “Other times I get annoyed, so I use one.” Although she uses a calculator often and willingly, Danielle recognizes its limita- tions. “It all depends on what the problem is.” For some, the fear of tests complicates the issue. “It de- pends,” answered Willy Shel- don, when asked whether he used a calculator exclusively. “If I have to know the work for a test, I do the calculations by hand, otherwise, I’d use a calcu- lator all the time. It is,” he con- tinued, “extremely useful for most math homework. It really Math teacher Mr. Persinger instructs his students on the complicated busi- ness of pre-calculus.

In previ- ous years, students have each created their own house, which was then placed into competi- tion. This past year, Mrs. Gian- sante wanted each student to make their own store, shop or even village. Each project was worked on in class, from scratch, with help from Mrs. Giansante. When the houses were completed judges made up of staff and faculty members from every department, helped to decide which Gingerbread cre- ation was the best. Each winner then received a prize. Mrs. Gian- sante says that her students “improve all the time. They’re really eager to learn. The world of food changes constantly too! Although the class was a lot of work, the best part of the class is summed up by junior Mike Sposato: “I want to eat! Food is great! Many students take Food Preparation and Nutrition.

Some students are trying to find what cooking is all about. Mrs. Giansante has taught the subject for over 21 years and now teaches “Food Preparation and Nutrition. This class meets daily for half a year and teaches the basics of cooking with microwaves, small appliances, range tops and ovens.

When you got up to the frog dissection lab? There were mixed feelings about actually dissecting the frog. Jen Grant said, It was disgusting, I’d never do it again. Some stu- dents disagree completely, At first it was disgusting, ex- claimed Darlene Yost, but then we just ripped it apart. We had fun! Frog dissection is a big part of Biology and actually digging into a frog may be a break from hitting the books. Although it may seem like all fun and games, dissection was an excel- lent learning experience. Stu- dents observe parts of the frogs: the thighs, the abdominal struc- tures and the brain. Each part is carefully examined, labeled, and explored as to its very own function. Labs in Biology were al- ways somewhat interesting be- cause they were true to life and we could relate to them. Labs are done in all sciences, but Bi- ology holds the record for most unusual. Now that I think about it, Diane Boehmler re- calls, we had fun labs in Biol- ogy; but the frog dissection was the most fun. -Vivian Ibrahim Science Physics is tough and Nauman Shah knows it because Dr. Taft, his physics teacher, helped him understand the more complicated facts during lab.

How many times have you tried on a new style only to have an older person comment on how that new look is actually old? There are many fads that have repeated them- selves from the past to the present. Probably the most popular repeated fad is the mini-skirt. Juniors Tom Riley and Blake Sinrod both agree on how much they love when girls wear mini-skirts ’’ Other repeat styles include petticoats, leather jackets, the ponytail, and penny loafers. Junior Mary Reddy commented on how she likes to wear denim clothes. Junior Jenna Rooney remarks that she often wears tye-dye outfits. As is obvious, many styles come and go and then come back again. Through the school corri- dors, there is a variety of fads and fashions, both new and old.

Special programs and innovative teaching methods aid students along the way. One special pro- gram is the resource room. Stu- dents are given special instruc- tion by their resource room teacher in the individual areas that are needed. Senior Brian Thomas, a stu- dent in Mr. Sheridan’s class, ex- plained; “Mr. Sheridan is an ex- cellent teacher. He’s helped me a lot, and because of him, I’m go- ing to college.’’ The students in the Special Ed program appreciate their teachers, and so do students out- side the program. Senior Eric Niccolls says that the Special Ed students are a “bunch of kids who are unfortunate enough to have a variety of learning dis- abilities, but fortunate enough to have teachers who care and who would spend more time with them than an average teacher would spend with an average student.” The Hicksville High spe- cial education program seems to greatly improve the lives of its students. -Laura Catan- zariti In the resource room, Mrs. Greenberg Sophomore Brian Steiner concentrates helps sophomore Chris Kouroupakis on the task at hand during typing class, with his class work as Renee Sprissler looks on. 130 Ed Jodi Cacace was essential to the running of the concession stand this Basketball season.

This program enables these students to re- ceive equal opportunities for educational growth. Students are divided into small groups called self contained classes. The students learn through a special Individual Education Program; it focuses on an individual learning system and it helps to develop specific skills. The students with learning disabilities ?� have their own learning process; and in depth study program, designed especially for them. These students are taught just like any 5 other Hicks ville students; they are not babied or treated in a special way. They learn to share and care and grow as hopefully we all do. -Viv- ian Ibrahim Special Ed Career opportunities: inquire within As we progress in our lives, we have a ten- dency to think ahead-about our future. At Hicksville High School, we have a vocational education plan for those students who know now EXACTLY what they want to do and they are able to start preparing for it! Tammi Botita says “Boces is helping me to get my license in cosmetology.” This Voca- tional Education Department offers courses in mechanics, carpentry, cosmetology, and other inter-related topics. Students who are registered in those courses have set their goals and are attemp- ting to reach the highest point of success in the field which they choose. Vocational Educa- tion students take required courses here in the high school for half a day and the other half they go to BOCES. Tammi also remarked, ‘T learned the basics at BOCES and I find practicing cosmetology at BOCES enjoyable.” Sr. Gina Dunne and Helen Velez practice their techniques in beauty care and hair styling.

It seemed there were al- ways so many things on our minds. The two weeks assigned to a re- port always seemed like two days; or even two hours, if we chose to begin writing it the night before it was due. Ever present threats of surprise quiz- zes often sat heavy on our minds. There were however, other facets of school which helped us out of our ruts of desperation. Certainly one of the forerunners were extra-curricular ac- tivities and clubs. When people find they have the same interests, or dreams, they often come together as a group. With the help of school, the group can obtain a meeting place, advisors, funds, and new members which form the basis of a successful club. Putting aside all of the learning and enjoyment that these activities can bring, there is a curious thing that can develop among members of a group; working along side one anoth- er, having a good time, sooner or later, bonds of friendship are born - Imagine that! — Vinny Drew “When people find they have the same inter- ests, or dreams, they often come to- gether as a group” o -h It's A Good Way To Spend Your Time k eft I Le Club Francais, the French club is one of the five language clubs that exist in HicksviUe 5 High School. There’s a French, Spanish, German, Latin, and an Italian club. Dr. Kumpikas is the ad- visor for the language clubs as well as the German Honor Society and the co-advisor of the French Honor Society. “These clubs are not like other clubs in that they focus more on fun than on work, ’ says Christine Moy. People who join are basically interested in a foreign language and the cultures of other countries. These clubs meet about once every three weeks. Anyone who is looking for a club that doesn’t require an excess amount of time but is still enjoyable should join a language club. They go on culture trips; the Spanish club went to a Manhattan restaurant and the French Club went to Canada this year. There are no real qualifica- tions for belonging: just participation and commu- nication. “It’s great for socializing and meeting new people’’, says Kelly Rear. You meet many people from different grade levels in these clubs. If you have free time after school, join a language club; it’s a good way to spend your time. -Alex Athanasiou On a Spanish Club field trip. Cira Linoli, Michael Carr, Sally Scotto, Jill Conroy.

He said that he found us friendly and also added that “the teachers are more human.” Hans also discussed differences between our school and the schools of Sweden. He explained that “in Sweden, when you come late to class you don’t need a pass, you just say, “I’m sorry’” The soccer team welcomed him as an asset and a friend, as did many others in the school.

The audience laughed and the production flowed smoothly. These are all the ingredients of a successful play: Brighton Beach Memoirs. Leading seniors in the play were Jennifer Tower who played Aunt Blanche, Tom Schiffer as Eugene, Jennifer Jackson as Kate Jerome and Tony Walker as Jacob Jerome. Along with the rest of the cast, juniors Lisa Grillo as Laurie, Suzanne Endres as Nora and Sophomore Rob Allen as Stan- ley, the cast experienced long, arduous rehersals, but they eventually paid off. They worked together so well and their final product illustrated this. “We had a great time doing it and after a while we felt we were the Jacob Jerome family,” said Lisa Grillo. “The play became my life.” This seemed to be the general feeling of all the cast members. Rob Allen said, “It was a great expe- rience; I really enjoyed working with new people and mak- ing new friends.” Brighton Beach Memoirs turned out to be a play that the cast enjoyed performing and the audience enjoyed watching. -Vivian Ibrahim In the roles of Aunt Blanche and Nora.

What is a Thespian? “The Thespians is an honor soci- ety for people involved with theatre, ’’ says president Jessica Garnets. Admission to this National Organization is not easy. Aspiring actors must earn ten points throughout the year, participating in at least two plays. These points are based on their individual effort and their devotion to the play. In addition, the points must be earned in two aspects of theater, such as stage, set construction, props, lights, sound and publicity. Mrs. Judith Paseltiner, advisor for the Thespians, says that “people have to work to get into Thes- pians. All members are people who have shown great com- mitment to Hicksville Theater. Everyone who is a Thespian is required to participate in drama, but not everyone in dra- ma can become a Thespian. — Vicky Cullen On stage the characters Laurie and Nora were having a heated argument, played by Lisa Grillo and Sue Endres.

The Comet newspaper provides the students of Hicksville with the latest information about what’s going on in school. With the addition of two more grades to the school enrollment, Editor-in-Chief Lisa Rein- hardt and the faculty advisor, Mrs Pat Richards, were able to report on many different topics for the benefit of the stu- dents. Lisa described her position as editor as “a lot of hard work and headaches.” Although the number of people on the staff varied, the usual number of contributors was about twenty. Work on each issue began with a general meeting where writers would receive their assignments or talk to the editors, Sheila Raza and Nauman Shah, would set up different jobs for as long as the editors were aware of the content. After the meeting, each reporter had a period of time to write his article. Depending on the deadline for the paper, this period was usually about two or three weeks. If any writer had trou- ble writing an article, there was always an extra help ses- sion after school. When an article was completed, the edi- tors began to edit and improve each article at a second meet- ing. Each individual editor checks every article before the advisor rechecks them all. After any spelling and grammati- cal errors are corrected, the articles are typed and sent to the printer for a rough draft. Then the layout editor, Karen Gluszak, rechecks the design of the paper for any mistakes. This copy of the paper is then sent back to the printer for actual printing. The printer, in Westbury, then prints out about 2,000 copies which we receive and enjoy. -Vicky Cullen Extra'- t tta At the close of the school day.

Hieksville class government officers have everything under control. Class Government officers are responsible for dances, proms, fund raisers, and virtually all activities that in- volve the students in their grade. These people are often very aware of the needs of their peers. According to Sophomore Class President Rose Guiliano, “I want to give my class good years to remember and try to get them to participate in more activities.” Rob Allen, vice president, agrees, “I enjoy being in the class govern- ment.” Basically, the main role of a student government of- ficer is to be able to stand up for their class as a whole, and make their High School Years the best possible. Ju- nior class president Dave Dobrindt best sums up his role of helping his class: “If there’s any way I could, I would ... I try, and if there’s any way I can - let me know.” - Vicky Cullen Student Government Sedent JO',er im All That It Can Be ent Government is the voice of the people. Our stu- dent government is here to help the students make the school more enjoyable for themselves. A lot of times students knock it because they say that no- body will listen or even if they do, government can't do anything about it. Our Government has made changes and done things for the school that haven’t been noticed. Student Government is what you make of it. “It has the potential to do great things for the school, but it can't if the students don’t speak up or participate,’’ comments Eric Niccolls. The Student Council doesn’t have any set rules on how often they meet or who can be a part of it. They hold meetings as often as they feel is neces- sary and the students themselves elect officers and representatives. Throughout the year they listen to the student's complaints and do what they can to rectify the problems. Officers organize after school activities such as dances and the “Battle of the Sexes’’ which was held in the High School for the first time. “Student Government makes the stu- dent’s high school years a worthwhile experience, added Sue Endres. They also try to do things for the Community such as the “Super Dance for Me- ghan, which was held in 1986. It would be beneficial, not only for the students but the school, if more and more students became involved. “I feel that it is very important that stu- dents are involved in making decisions concerning them, said Mrs. Paseltiner. — Eric Niccolls Kim Stanley.

Student Government Marching Band performs at competitions During the frost and cold of November, some musical individuals quietly marched out to the football field and in an accoustical burst began trumpeting and drumming. Those were the sounds of the 1987-88 Marching Comets rehears- ing for competitions and football game performan- ces. Although the Marching Comets didn’t win 1st place in competition, they’re still proud of their performances and each other. “Part of the problem was our inexperience.’’ says Sanjay Tew- ari, a freshman trombone player. “There are many lower classmen in the group. ’’ But baritone player, Jon Webster, defended the two classes with, “Hey, we’re new here and we never had anything like this. Also, as we got to November, we had to practice in the cold, your hands would get green from the brass.’’ The band got the biggest cheers from their in- structor, Mr. McRoy .who said,“You may not real- ize it, but you people play really well.” Sharing those views were drum majors, senior Jackie True- love and sophomore Rana Aranetta. In spite of all the things that worked to their disadvantage this season, the performances were enjoyed by varied audiences. Next year, the band will be more experienced and if all goes well, they hope for the best season ever! -Dave Sacrestano Michele Webster. Carol Ann Hubner. Danielle Pagoulatos, Kay Woodcheke.

Lhe Annual inter Concert An Extraordinary Performance As usual, the annual Winter Concert started with a bang. Before the concert however, much frenzy and antici- pation hung in the air. A preview of art work collected from students at HHS, was shown before the concert began. It was easy to tell from people's faces that the art work was enjoyed by all. As the performance time came closer, people began to flood into the auditorium for a night of music. Opening the concert was the Madrigals, a group of espe- cially talented singers. The Madrigals sang their way into the hearts of everyone by performing a piece from Mozart. Next came the orchestra, who began by playing a piece that was way above their anticipated level. They all performed well, making the many hours of hard work and practice worthwhile. As flute player Nicole Boukas said, “The band has worked hard and has come a long way.” While the ap- plause died down for the orchestra, the jazz ensemble took the stage. Jason Pallsen gave an extraordinary solo per- formance, which kept the audience in amazement. The Jazz ensemble was a hard act to follow but the band, in the hands of Mr. Me Roy, was able to arouse the audience in such a way that the auditorium shook with applause. The combina- tion of trumpets, drums, and piano was enough to captivate the audience. Ending the night was the chorus, whose voices rang through the auditorium like church bells. Singing Requiem of the Masses, “the chorus was able to prepare for their finale: the Hallelujah Chorus. As the Chorale finished, the audience thundered with applause, making all of the perfor- mers glad to be a part of the Winter Concert. -Alex Athana- siou Stacie Ryan works diligently in class as Senior Eileen Sharkey thinks about ways to perfect her work.

Music Hicksville Reveals Exceptional Musicians Hicksville High School has been blessed with exceptional musicians in our band and chorus. Their talents throughout the years have won many awards for themselves and Hicksville High School. In chorus, seniors Joanne Rivera, Dawn Trenka, and Jen- nifer Tower made all state. Dawn Trenka has been involved with music since the 4th grade. She feels that singing “is something you can do all the time because your voice is always with you.” The talented band members this year are seniors James Dyckman, John LaSpina, and Jennifer Tower. Jennifer Tower happily explains music was the center of my high school life and will continue to be the center for the rest of my life. Jen- nifer’s work has definitely payed off as measured by her suc- cess. Whether our exceptional musicians use their vocal or in- strumental skills, their talents enliven the music program at Hicksville High. — Laura Catanzariti The 1988 Winter Concert was blessed with the presence of the Madrigals who sang their way into the hearts of everyone by performing a piece from Mozart.

Just come down and join the breakfast club. “It’s always there and it’s great for those of us who don’t eat breakfast at home,’’ says Lisa Radicella. Students involved in the breakfast club are members of the Honor Society. They are: Cindy Crociata, Faith Bloom, Anty Mammas, Larry Mango, Jude McFeely, Lisa Reinhardt, Michael Schaef- fer, Tricia Sutter and Dawn Trenka. Every morning, from 7:30 to the start of homeroom, they sell donuts and apple juice in the cafeteria. Anty Mammas picks up the donuts every morning often assisted by various mem- bers. According to Anty, “It’s a lot of fun, and you meet many new people everyday.’’ Cindy Crociata explains, “We are proud to help the starving non-breakfast eaters of Hicksville High.” So next time you’re in a jam, (or jelly donut), visit the Breakfast Club for a quick pick me up. — Alex Athanasiou Soc Y- Devotion Makes The Difference The members of the National Honor Society are very dedicated to their work and it is this devotion that makes a tremendous difference in the organization. The devotion of the honors students helps to keep the organization run- ning and in-tact. Senior Nick Munson, Treasurer of the National Honor Society, states that he tries to be as dedicated as possible. “I receive the assignment, I work on it and then I hand it in. No matter how hard the assignment may be, I find time to do it and hand it in on time. Such devotion allows the Society to maintain such a prestigious reputation. There is a great deal that the students gain from hon- ors. For instance, the joy they experience when they receive a college acceptance from the college of their choice. Al- though teachers “expect more” from their honor students, advantages from advanced classes will eventually be un- veiled. -Maria Pohanis Seniors Chris Fevola, Jude McFeely, Nancy Assad.

According to member Tammi Wood, the main pur- pose is to “help younger kids avoid drugs. ” T.A.D.A. has focused their attention to the younger crowd, particu- larly in the elementary and subsidiary levels. Tammi also feels that “our age group could help them under- stand the danger of drugs better than an adult.” Teen- agers can relate more to the situation at hand at this stage of their lives, than an adult could. Although there were over one hundred members of T.A.D.A., only the leaders spoke to the underclassmen. Hopefully this past year’s efforts of T.A.D.A. will help aid in the fight against drugs. -Vicky Cullen Service Clubs A Struggle against self- destruction Last year over 2,000 high school students died in alcohol related auto accidents. Hundreds more died from destructive drugs. Why do we allow our friends or ourselves to get in a position where drugs can take over our lives? Today’s high school students have organized clubs in response to the growing problem of drugs in our world. These clubs include S.A.D.D. (Stu- dents Against Drunk Driving) and T.A.D.A. (Teens Against Drug Abuse). However, with the death rates of high school students on the rise, are these clubs actually helping? Are there really enough high school students involved with such important mat- ters? Senior Michele Delhaye expresses that “we never know if S.A.D.D. and T.A.D.A. exist because they never have any functions.” Maybe if the clubs tried to get the students more involved by sponsor- ing dances, or after school workshops, there would be more members. Former S.A.D.D. member, Senior Carol Victor, feels that “they’re a good idea, but I don’t think they help too much.” If this is true, why don’t the students of Hicksville High get involved? Getting involved can save your life or a life of a friend. Isn’t S.A.D.D. and T.A.D.A. worth your time.? -Laura Catanzariti Christine Noya, volunteer club member, assembles the volun- teers donating blood in an orderly fashion, at the Fall blood drive.

A Stepping Stone To Yuppiedom Could the person walking in the hall be a busi- ness leader of the future? Well, nobody really knows what is in store for us, however if that per- son belongs to the F.B.L.A. club, there’s a good chance that he or she will choose a business relat- ed career. Hicksville High’s Future Business Leaders of America Club had an abundance of members this year. “They try to sharpen business skills while learning new things ’’ said Paul Aversano, when asked to comment on the F.B.L.A.’s function. With Anne Calise as president of the club they hoped to accomplish a great deal in 1988. Larry Mango felt that F.B.L.A. was a “ status symbol as well as a stepping stone to yuppiedom One of the reasons that they study certain things about business is so that they can be better prepared for the annual competition in Niagara Falls. “ It creates an opportunity for us to experi- ence how competitive our capitalistic economy is,’’ commented Junior John De Paoli on the im- portance of the competition. In order to go to this, the F.B.L.A. had to raise funds. This year the stu- dent body bought , tons of small chocolate-chip cookies called pop-umms. Hicksville High is fortunate to have a club that is concerned with their future. Who Knows? Maybe the future leaders of the country will be able to trace their roots to the F.B.L.A. in Hicksville. — Giokazta Molina Juniors Glenn Garbus and Tom Reilly as well as Dr. Lemmey listen intensely to the proceedings of a trial during a mock trial meeting.

The Hicksville High Schoool Math Club was an extra- activity for those with a calculating mind. They met from 2:30-3:30 on Tuesdays, and occasionally attended com- petitions with other high schools. Among the members of the club were president Cindy Crociata. Cindy was the team’s high scorer and achieved a gold pin award for point accumulation, Paul Ching won the silver pin for points scored. The competitions are coordinated by the Nassau County Interscholastic Math League, which is in it’s 33rd year. The end of the season was marked by the N.C.I.S.M.L. awards program at Hofstra University, and ameliorated the relationship of those who once were at op- posite ends of the intellectual battlefield. — Vinny Drew tv y ? ? Yearbook staff attends Princeton conference 7e “Princeton was really great!” exclaimed editor-in-chief Laura Catanzariti. This was in reference to the August yearbook trip to Princeton University. “We learned so much”, said Giokazta Molina. The trip was provided for the 1988 staff members to enhance yearbook skills. Seminars in all areas of “yearbooking” were offered to an audience of about 120 students from 20 different schools from the Eastern seaboard. Layout designs as well as topics for the various articles to be written were established. In addition, the staff became a closely knit group. The living conditions were a bit uncomfortable as weather could be described as unbearably hot and humid. “I ran out of change for the soda machines every half hour,” recalled ac- tivities editor Vivian Ibrahim. However, as bad as the weath- er got, new ideas popped up continuously and everyone got caught up in the excitement of the forthcoming yearbook. For Ms. Gelberg, the yearbook advisor, the best part of Prin- ceton was “spending time with a group of teenagers who were strangers and seeing them get along and work togeth- er and make decisions.” For all of us, the staff and Ms. Gelberg, the trip was an experience in decision making and in coping with re- sponsibilities as well as getting along. “I’ll never forget it!”, exclaimed photography editor Kim Lancer. This was an opinion also voiced by the rest of the yearbook staff. - Giokazta Molina Yearbook advisor. Joan Gelberg reveals some advertising design tech- niques to students at Princeton University last summer. We hope you agree. Even though at HicksviUe High School, shorts are not permitted.

Yearbook New and Exciting Ideas The 1988 award winning yearbook unveiled an abun- dance of exciting innovative ideas. It’s very contemporary and different from any other Comet yearbook. There are many personal interviews with your fellow classmates whom you will really enjoy sharing ideas with. Our graphics and layout designs are chic and modern We have a new format for writing articles and page designs Also this year we have a mini magazine, a fun section, for all miscellaneous items. However, the best aspect about the 1988 yearbook is the fact that almost every student and staff member is in it. This yearbook is all about us, Hicksville High School. - Laura Catanzariti The yearbook staff members who attended the Princeton workshop took 2nd place at Princeton University, last summer, for the outstanding plans for the 1987-88 yearbook.

An Interview With Staff Working on this year's yearbook gave each staff member a sense of responsibility and dedication to stay with a project until it’s done. The yearbook took up many, many hours of our time and it was a constant battle to keep everything orga- nized. Photographer Junior Paula Dahse believes that the yearbook “made me more responsible about getting things done on time.” The time we spent together working on the book was filled with good times and special memories. Student Life Editor, senior Vinny Drew, felt that the yearbook “allowed me to get to know a lot of good people. If it wasn't for the yearbook most of the staff wouldn’t have met each other.” The feeling of accomplishment and the excitement of holding “our” book is the best feeling in the world. Managing Editor Giokazta Molina explains that yearbook “is a combina- tion of things, it’s a lot of work and responsibilities but it's also fun. The best part is getting to know all the different peo- ple that are a part of the yearbook.” 1 Sharing Good Memories Oh no! Another yearbook meeting?! Are the articles due today? How many layouts do you need? How do you spell pazazz? Is Ms. Gelberg in a good mood today? The deadline is tomorrow! Get to work!! Yearbooking, as many of us well know, is a long arduous task that seems never-ending. It really isn't though, is it? No matter how much complaining is heard about the long hours, the dead- lines and moody editors, each member has his her share of good memories. The friendly interaction between upper and under classmen on the staff bloomed into family type relationships. Sud- denly we knew each other so well, we could tell when Vivian was upset or when Vicky was in love-again! And, of course, Vinny could always be found writing articles in the solitude of a deserted semi dark classroom. Actually when asked about his favorite moment on yearbook, Vinny Drew. Student Life Editor, said that “intellectual combat with Ms. Gelberg was the most enjoyable part of it.” Editor in Chief Laura Catanzariti, however, felt “the end of each yearbook meeting when all my work for the day was fin- ished was the best feeling involved with yearbook experience.” The trips we attended to Princeton and to Columbia University were a big hit among the staff members. Andrew Beilis and Glenn Garbus enjoyed these trips in particular because they got a peek at college life. Chuckling over pictures was also a favorite activity. Tammy Elliot, Academics Editor, felt elated “whenever I got new photo- graphs for my section.” Staff writer Vicky Cullen’s favorite mo- ments were centered around “going through pictures” but only after all her articles were turned in. “Right Vicky?” Everyone will agree, however, that the one moment that ex- ceeds all the other moments filled with pizza parties, copy burnout, and caption brainstorming is that final second when the first year- book was opened. The crisp freshly printed pages of the yearbook seem obviously worth all the hard work and devotion that we all put into it. At last, we attained the evidence that what we truly worked hard for, has paid off. Managing Editor Giokazta Molina pulls Activities Editor Vivian Ibrahim away from intense work during a yearbook meeting to share a laugh. A close look at Student Life Editor Vinny Drew during a yearbook meeting as he reveals his stunning profile. Difference? Playing on any team requires dedication-the pressures can be a lot to han- dle. In the earli- est days of hu- man history, we have practiced the disciplines of athletic activi- ties. Our reasons for participating in and deciding on a particular sport are as dif- ferent as they are numerous. - Strength, dexterity, endurance, and coordination - are all integral com- ponents which combine to achieve the goals of victory and enjoyment. Fitness in America is rising on our list of priorities. More and more people are realizing that their bodies stay with them for life and they want them to be in better shape and or more physically attractive. Playing on any team requires ded- ication. The pressures can be a lot to handle. People that pressure can come from are: spectators, coaches, and even fellow teammates, but often these pressures can be used as fuel for victory. -Vinny Drew Wrestlers Hold their own Contrary to popular opinion, wrestling is not the type of en- tertainment you watch on Saturday morning TV that features Andre the Giant and Hulk Hogan. Wrestling, the sport that is, takes skill, as well as endurance and agility. According to team captain Jim Dyckman, the most important of the above quali- ties is “endurance because wrestling is a very intense and strenuous sport.” This year the team didn’t do too badly, beating Clark High towards the end of the season thus improving their overall re- cord. Notable for their athletic contributions were Tom Losco who had 11 wins and Bill Millis who made All-division and had 8 wins. When asked about what he felt was the best part of being on the team, Tom Losco commented that “the taste of victory and competition” dominated in his mind. - Giokazta Molina Sophomore Steven Mongiello does his warm up neck exercises on the gym floor before a big match.

Q,: What kind of season was it for the team? A: It wasn’t too great and we didn’t have many team members, but everyone worked very hard. Q: As the captain of the team, what are your responsibilities? A: I have to use leadership and also get the group to practice. Q: How do you build yourselves up for wres- tling matches? (i.e. what type of exercise) A: We do lots of running and drills, as well as situation drills, and endurance exer- cises. Q: For you, what was the best part of being on the wrestling team? A: It's the kind of sport that you better yourself because it takes disci- pline and you benefit from it a lot. Q,: How do team members react to you as captain? A: Although I’m not the best wrestler on the team, I work hard and get a good amount of respect. - Giokazta Molina Within the time span of several minutes, Hicksville wrestler, Steve Mon- giello demonstrates the importance of predicting your opponent’s next move before he guesses yours. By making a key tackle at the 15-yard line, the Comets stop another team from getting a touchdown. Why Do You Go To See Them Play? Why do the kids go to see the home teams play? What’s the big deal? Some people go to the games to keep up with school happenings. Some go to see the excitement and ac- tion of a game. Some go to see and cheer their friends on. And all have a great time. That’s exactly what hap- pened to the crowds who went to the football games this fall. They all had fun. Including the team. We didn't do great, but we had a good time doing it. said Varsity football player Brian Thomas. The varsity football team’s re- cord was 1-7 (.125). Withanot-so-hot- record, why would people turn out for this team? Maybe to see a good football game? To see your friends perhaps? or to show your school spirit? Maybe to see the cheerlead- ers? Or maybe the team is your favorite no matter how bad they play. Winning isn’t everything; It’s how you play the game. Making sure you gave it your all and, making your last season the best you can make it is the most important part of being on the team. Football’s great,” Thomas commented, I’m going to miss it. -Tony Walker Fred Amaya, James Buonagura, John Cerini. Matt Conroy.

By the fifth game of the season, all three quarterbacks, Dave Danows- ki, Joe Passo and Matt Knapp were out with injuries. At one point in the season, seven starters were out in- jured as well. A big loss to the team was the injury to Jim Panchookian, a linebacker. Matt Knapp was also lost for the season. Fred Amaya, Chris Lane, Brian Thomas, Gus Kefalus, and Vinny DeAngelis were some other key players who were lost for two or more games. As a result of the many injur- ies, many boys were forced to play po- sitions they never played before. But the spirit of the team was never lost, the boys prepared each week and gave 100% in practice and games. John DellaRatta and Eric Niccolls held the team together on defense while Andy Kilmetis and Gerard Kearns led the offense. Many juniors gained a lot of game experience due to the injury problem, but the experience will benefit them next year. -Coach Ron Quattrini Eric Niccolls gets ready as quarterback.

Q: How well do you do in comparison to the rest of the players0 A I do well compared to them, but they are good and most are usually better. Q Do they treat you any differently? A No. not really i Q For you. what is the best part of being on the team? •s « A Just the fact of playing basketball because I love playing it. Q What qualities do you use to compensate for your lack of height? A: I try to use my quickness and just try to give the ball to the right people. Q: Do you feel that you have to work harder because you're the youngest on the team? A: In a way. but not really I feel that I have a lot to learn, but I also feel I must work as hard as everyone else Q In your opinion, does being on the varsity team as a freshman give you an edge for future years? A: Definitely, because I'll be around for four years and a lot of people will know me Also, it is very good to have 4 years experience. - Giokazta Molina MM Mr. Moscata, Mr. Arnone, Neil McKenna, Phil Campisi, Matt Conroy, Kevin Mag- nuson, Dave Danowsky.

How does the varsity boys basketball team manage to have one great season after another? According to team captain Craig Mannion, “the Kane ef- fort” was the main ingredient of the season. The practices and drills also had an af- fect on the teams success. The toughest warm ups and practice sessions usually took place on Wednesday after school and on Sunday mornings, two days before a game at most. Although working out in the weight room was not required, it was open for those who felt they needed it or who just wanted a little extra work-out. Other than the weight-room-workouts, the “normal” workout stressed running laps, shooting, ________ dribbling and passing exercises as well as _adjusting their offense and defense with other teams’. Although the team’s record was outstanding, they had several teams I that were difficult to beat. “Freeport was A 5 the toughest,” said Coach Bryan when w « asked to comment on the team’s obstacles. One of the team's proud moments was win- ning the game that was shown on TV late in the season. This year’s team had several rewarding moments. “Scoring” was Matt Conroy’s main satisfaction during the season. Phil Campesi also savored the sweet taste of victory as his favorite thing was “taking three poin- ters.” Despite the doubts many had about this team, “they really sur- prised a lot of people,' ’ observed Coach Bryan at the end of a satisfying season. - Giokazta Molina Craig Mannion watches in disappointment as Freeport scores another point at a varsity Basketball home game.

A: The responsibilities aren’t really different than being a regular player. When we go to a match, I fill in on the sheet who’s playing, set up who’s splaying in what order, and £ scorekeeping. Do you get special treat | ment being a captain? A: No. Mr. Cohn’s fair with ev- eryone and the other players treat me just like another player. Q: Do the players treat you differently because you’re a captain? A: No. We’re all friends. We get along great and I’m glad I was a part of this team.

Striving for Victory The Girl’s Tennis Team completed an- other successful season against some of the most competative teams in the country. The whole team pulled together to strive for their victories. Out of the twelve matches played, Hicksville won two and tied one; however most of the losses were a close 4- 3 match. Unfortunately, the team will be losing a strong nucleus of seniors: Lisa Chang, Jessica Garnets, Nicole Grota, Shawn Kraemer, Manisha Patil, and Grace Thompson. Their talents have helped the team greatly in this successful season. Hopefully, there will be some talented tennis players coming from the middle school next year. All in all, the team of 1987 had many talented and gifted players to take the place of those who left.

Not only does it help to win, but it makes the game more fun for the players. But not only is team participation important in girls’ volleyball, it’s im- portant in every sport. You’ve got to cheer your team on. You have to show your support. Do all you can. Help out. You’ve got to show that you care so that other players feel they have something great in themselves. Even if you’re on the bench, you can still put in 100% by cheering the team on. C’mon Sue! Good shot Kim! Way to go Debbie! Those are just a few of the many cheers our girls yelled. “Our team spirit was higher and greater than the way we played.” Although our girls did have a winless record, one has to read between the lines.

The first game that is similar to soccer was played in China about 400 B.C. In 200 A.D., the Romans played yet another early form of the game by moving the ball down a field by kicking it. Euro- c pean countries took an interest g in soccer beginning in the 19th | century. English school chil- dren played soccer using their own individual rules. In 1848. an official set of rules were created. The United States Soccer Federation was established in 1913. The World Cup is played every four years between many coun- tries. In 1931,the present-day American Soccer League was formed. From B.C. times to the present, soccer still proves to be the world’s most popular game. -Vicky Cullen Mike Brigandi, Tim Doyle.

Is it because of the way this person looks? Or what he or she says? Maybe what he or she does? Or, is it just plain luck? The answer to all these ques- tions is ’yes.’ To be a school hero, you have to be one or a combination of these. Take these examples: Kim Stanley is considered a school heroine because she’s athletic, but for you guys out there, you’ll take her just for her looks. Another hero, Ron Sargeant, played on our championship soccer team. Being a champion, among other things, makes Ron near the top of our list. Rob Gill is one of our heroes, not because of the way he looks, or his athletic abilities, but what he says or does. He has many crazy jokes and antics. All these people are popular for one reason; we like them. This is the main reason these kids are popular- this is what makes a school hero. -Dave Sacrestano Billy Neway returns the ball that was aimed for his goal. It was goalies like him and Tim Richards that made the team what it was. Neil McKenna gets himself into a slight jam with the Garden City players, but he tries his best to set things straight. Watching a goal in progress is Jim Ort, who's ready in case the ball doesn’t make it in. This is another reason why the team was so good. Alert players who knew what was happening. Boys' Soccer 7 Interview: Captain Lynn Flannery Once the soccer season ended, we interviewed the cap- tain of the girl’s team, Lynn Flannery.

I try to | have everyone get along be- I cause we work better as a team when we get along. Q: Do you receive any special treatment because you’re a captain? A: I have authority. I get respect, like from the coach. I also get to instruct the fellow players during the game. Q: Do the players respect you or treat you differently? A: No. I get along like I was just another player. I only act like a captain when I have to. Vicky Bates. Sue Hume, Maureen Hermon, Sharon McDonold, Coach T.

Why doesn’t the girls’ soccer team get the same recognition as the boys’ team? Is it because the boys are better or are they just more popular? Can it be that the boys are just too loud? The girls’ team appears to be overlook- ed by many Hicksville sports fans. The team doesn’t feel that they get the same support as the boys. Senior Tina Caputo says, “My teammates and I feel that if we got more support from both the staff and students, more girls would be encouraged to come out and play on the team.’’ Sports for boys have been around lon- ger so they’re naturally more popular with the fans. The boys have received more and more support from fans for the past few years which could be a part of their suc- cess. According to Junior Maria Paradiso; “The boys are a better team, that’s why they get more support than the girls’ team.” Female athletes are making leaps and bounds in professional sports. Our athletes deserve support and recognition so that they can also. -Laura Catanzariti Freshman teammates Sandy Mohan, Sue Humme and Denise Carter wait to start their daily drills.

All of them love to run; although it doesn’t come with- out blood, sweat, and tears. Our team practices by jogging or by running a long course for a certain amount of time, designat- ed by Coach Hank Cooney. “You are rewarded though,” claims trackstar Heather Carpenter. “You get into shape and become good at something you can compete in.

Q: What kind of year, Arlen Strongin, was it for the 1988 Cross Country Team? A: We put in alot of hard work and determination. Q: Did you get any personnal satisfaction from your individual performance apart from the team this year? A: I made All-Division. I do think I could've done better this year though. QL: How was this year’s team compared to the other Cross Country teams you’ve been? A: I’ve had better years.The big problem was that there weren’t enough people on the team this year. Q.: What other activities are you involved in? A: FBLA, TADA, Honor Society. Q. How do you fit Cross Country in with your other activities? A: Well, it is tough to do, but if you put your mind to it, you can do it. Chris Jaros smiles as he is in the middle of practice. This was just before he and his team went out to win another meet.

The team deserves alot of credit for a job well done this year Cross Country Junior Jennifer Livingston stands elated after capturing 1st place in the Nassau Coaches Meet. Comets That Compete The 1987-88 Starlet Kick- line had many chances this year to show off their hard work and talent. At SUNY Old West- bury, the team competed three times. Their competitions took place January 24th, February 25th and March 13th. The team practiced almost daily every week before the competitions. I Competitions can be uncom- fortable situations for perform- I ers like Sr. Dawn Trenka, who explained, “It’s hard and scary to compete. You see all the teams competing and you know you have to do well to beat them. For the past two years the Starlets have placed 1st in the preliminaries of the Long Island Kickline Association com- petition. The team worked very hard to earn these awards. Sr. Betsy Edelstein, who has been on the line for three years added, It’s a lot of work but like any team, it all feels worth it when you hear the crowds cheering for you. - Laura Catanzariti A.

Kickline Performing at home, the Kickline entertains the Comet fans with a high- ly innovative routine. Dancing for the basketball fans, the girls keep on smiling even through the tough spots in their routine. During halftime. Starlets: Jeanne Foy, Linda Alfani, Jen Camp- bell, Angela Carusso, Barbaara Zub and Tracey Delio perform for the first time. If you j oined Kickline this year be cause you thought it would be glamorous, to get a boyfriend, or even jusFtobe popular, you joined for all the wrong reasons. Kickline is not for ‘Beauty Queens’ or even ‘Princesses’; kickline is for athletes. Hard work and sweat is what Kickline is all about. “Saturday mornings practice went from 8:00 until 1:00. Most of us rolled out of bed just making it on time. We didn’t wear make up becauuse we’d sweat it off!’’, commented Debbie Aleixo. “This year we had a strenuous routine. After doing it just once I felt like throwing up.” The line worked out three days a week after school until 5:30, averaging up to 9 hours a week. During some practices, the girls did high kicks for two hours straight. The kickline always seemed to practice lon- ger than any other team. When football was finished with their showers and waiting for the late bus. Kickline was still practicing. With that kind of torture the girls needed stamina and endurance to survive. The team works very hard yet their ac- tivity isn’t always considered a sport. They rarely get a chance to practice in the main gym where they perform their routines at the Basketball games. The team complained about practicing in the other gyms because they were too small for the girls to link up in a straight line for kicks. In the lobby, dancing on the hard floor gave many girls shin splints. Jr. Sue Endres commented, “Our audience gives us a lot of respect. I wish everyone felt that way. We aren’t treated like a team even though we compete.” The Starlets just wanted to be known as athletes because that’s what they are. “It’s a lot of hard work and people don’t view it as a sport, but if they joined, they probably wouldn’t last a week, ” declared Melissa Weinberg. - Laura Catanzariti • Jf I s r m Girls’ Basketball A Good Team in the Making Practices can break or make a good team. The girls’ Basket- ball team felt they owed their success to their practices. The team worked out five days a week, two hours a day and even though the practices were long and hard they were actually a lot of fun. This team consisted of only ten players though they compensated for their lack of teammates with an aggressive de- fense. Junior Maria Paradiso explained “our tough defense helped us win some really close games.” Many friendships were formed on the team. Through long hours of running and sweating team members learned a lot to- gether. Senior Shannon Mullin agreed, “I’ve made some of my closest friends through working together on the team.” As for all the players, their experiences on a high school team will help them later on in life. Being part of a team, work- ing side by side with other people was a very important lesson. The high scorer of the team Senior Maria Moone said, “I owe my college education to basketball because of the scholarships I’ve earned.” Everyone on the team agreed that the one important factor in their success was coach Kratchman: constant drilling and support proved to be invaluable to the girls. “He’s a great coach,” Linda Green commented. “Mr. Kratchman taught me so many things about the sport of basketball.” Although the basketball team had its disadvantages, the pros decid- edly outweighed all the cons for the 1988 team. - Laura Catanzariti In suspense Maria Moone watches as the ball is thrust through the net.

Q: What’s the best thing about coaching at Hicksville High? | A: The enthusiasm of the players. £ Q. What’s the most important job of be- | ing a coach? A: Being a teacher and trying to motivate the players. Q: What’s the most important thing you have to teach the players? A: Learning from past mistakes and teaching them how to avoid them in the future! Under Coach Kratchman’s guidance, the girls basketball team learned above everything else, how to be a team. - Laura Catan- zariti Gina Ciaccia dribbles the ball down the court while Michele Eger follows close behind looking for a chance to steal the ball.

A: Unless you already dive or are willing to learn on your own time, it is difficult to do well in Hicksville I had to rely greatly on a few basic skills and luck Hicksville High School has no div- ing instructors Q How many years have you been diving? A: Competitively, for three years but outside of competition. I have been diving for four years Q How often do you practice? A: During the season. 1 practice twice a week Q How has diving affected your high school expe- rience? A Since many of my team mates were younger. I learned more about their problems and was better able to help them. I found that my experiences could be beneficial to them. U What would you like to say to students who are thinking about becoming senous about div- ing? A If you etyoy diving, go for it! - I .aura Catanzariti The members of the 1987-88 varsity swimming team: David Edlind. Michael De- fina, Robert Kratochvil. Scott Epstein. Chris DiBiase. Scott Fried.

Swimming lS3 Diving for the Varsity Boys Swimming Team. Senior Tom Graepel strives for perfection. Hicksville has no pool! Is this a bless- ing in disguise? Having a pool would be a great “asset” to the swim team and with such talented swimmers it’s a shame not to have one. Swimmer Junior Jeannine Sirey swam at the County Championships and achieved 2 medals in the 200 Individual Medley and 100 Breaststroke. Even with- out a pool here at the high school to practice in, the girls are confident, “We are looking forward to having a very good season next year,” said Jeannine. To the average student, lack of a swim- ming pool is just fine; having a pool means swimming for gym. Senior Jimmy Dyckman explained, “I’m glad there isn’t a pool in our school because then we would have to take swimming in gym and that would be a bummer! ’' Getting their hair wet or wearing a bathing suit is too much for some people to handle. Freshman Erica | Monncayo agreed, “I’m glad. If we did have I a pool my hair would get messed up during gym. There are always a few students who are the exception to the rule; some students love the idea of having a pool at Hicksville High School. According to Senior Maura Bridget Glynn, “There should be a pool. I also think it should be optional to those who would enjoy the use of it.” The class of 1988 didn’t have a chance to enjoy the use of a pool, but perhaps in the future students will and then maybe they will wish they didn’t have a pool. - Laura Catanzariti Senior Mike DeFina. the 1st Hicksville swimmer to break 1,000 career points, practices his ability to do the butterfly. Junior Jeannine Sirey tunes in with her Walkman after a long, strenuous workout in the pool. No Pool At School n All round Success year was the best that the HicksviUe Gymnastics team had. For the past three years, Oceanside always came 1st while HicksviUe placed second. “This year we had a lot support from HicksviUe students. We finaUy caught the bou- quet for the 1st place trophy, coach VioUis said. The team had an outstanding year and 5 of the team members qualified for individual county championships: Tammy MarshaU, Wendy MarshaU, Jackie Langlois, Elaine Borgia, and Melissa Kugler. Tammy MarshaU explained, “Even though we made counties. Without the help of Kacey Knauer, Dale Hoffmann, Kathy Leoce, Jeanne Bonner, and Fran Baer the teams’ success could have been questionable. Each and every girl was very valuable to the team at the county meet.” At the individual championship meet, Melissa Kugler was unable to compete, but aU four girls gave outstanding perfor- mances. Tammy MarshaU captured 1st place on Balance Beam and on Floor. Wendy MarshaU placed 3rd place aU around and 1st in vaulting. Both MarshaUs qual- ified for the high school State Cham- pionships on March 5th in Roches- ter, N.Y. The majority of the HicksviUe team went up to Rochester to support the Nassau County Team. Everyone on the team gave each oth- er support and encouragement which was the secret to their success. -Laura Catanzariti Coach Tony VioUis was very proud of aU the girls after they won the County Championships.

Maria Moone, Mau- reen Hermann, and Gina Humann exhib- it their winning smiles after a tough, but successful victo- ry against Freeport. At the tone, the score will be two to zero. Satisfaction: A Cheerleader’s Entity Cheerleading is one of the two-season sports at Hicksvillle High School and is led by coach Karin Binder. During the foot- ball season, the team practices two days a week for two and a half hours each day; they practice once a week during the bas- ketball season. Coach Binder feels “even though the team can practice only where there is room that day, the girls get every- thing done.” Anyone can cheer, but it really takes a lot of pa- tience to learn all the routines. Giving up free time to practice was hard, but necessary to become a great squad. To Senior Ei- leen Sharkey, “Basketball season is great because it’s indoors and we’re able to do exciting cheers with jumps and pyramids, which we can’t do at football games.” Basketball season also gives the squad a chance to visit other schools more than the football season does. Cheerleading has a strong influence on a game because it gets the fans as well as the players psyched. Senior Dawn Gallo- way recalled, “I felt that the cheerleaders have a great effect on the attitudes of the fans. When we were really psyched for the game and we really got into it, I think the crowd responded more.” Rousing the fans in the spirit of the game helps make it more exciting all around. Cheerleaders have the satis- faction of contributing to victory, but also the responsibility of sticking out a hard season. - Laura Catanzariti Stacey Ryan. Vicki Spence.

Denise Sciabarissi, Sue Squires, Stacey Ryan, Tricia Sutter and Jennifer Tower. No Male Cheerleaders? Are Hicksville High guys ready for the cheerleading squad? The addition of males to the cheerleading squad will open the team to many opportunities. It would give the team a chance to try new things. Coach Binder said, “I would love to have male cheerleaders. I’d like to see cheerleading on Long Is- land be more like cheerleading in the rest of the country.” The whole style [I of the cheers would have to change, Z but if the team was approached by a 11 guy, they would love to have him join. The main question is: “Will Hicksville guys ever try?” Most guys consider cheerleading a very feminine sport. Junior Sean Tower agrees. ‘T believe boys should remain on the football field and leave cheerleading to the girls.” Senior Dave Danowski, one of the more liberal guys in the senior class, disagreed. ‘T think that boys should be given the opportunity to participate if they wanted to. They shouldn’t be discriminated against just because they’re guys.” From a girl’s point of view it would be interesting to see males cheering on the sideline. Senior Kim Lancer proclaimed, “If the guys have the guts, then they should go for it!” - Laura Catanzariti Y-;.

Community Support iMakes the Difference “The relation- ship with our community is one of give and take” If we look up “Hicks- ville” in the dictionary, (yes, it is listed in a few) it would most likely say; “A suburban town on central Long Island, N.Y.” However, Hicksville has a much broader, more colorful meaning to us, and without even one of us, Hicksville would not be the same. The community in which we live is in constant need of support. Our re- lationship with our town is one of give and take. We, as occupants do our best to keep it clean and running smoothly, and to make it a place in which every- one can exist harmoniously. There are few things that can give you such a feeling of completeness like having a place in which you feel you belong. You may have heard friends talk of how badly they want to skip town for better things after graduation, and you may even harbor such feelings in your own mind, but think to times ahead when you may just find yourself remembering your home town. -Vinny Drew Seniors, Mike Bngandi and Hans Siromberg become good friends while doing some serious hanging out on the weekend.

Looking back through the 1987-88 school year and compar- ing it to the first year HHS opened in 1954 we can conclude that there is no difference in the school itself. Hicksville High as an institution hasn’t drifted away from its origi- nal goal of developing young adults into responsible, educated, and functional citizens in society. If the difference wasn’t in the building, could it have been us? One can argue that everyone has his own special qualities, ideals, and talent that make us individ- uals. This is true, but are we really all that different? People are peo- ple. We all have the same basic rrrrrr needs and wants. Human emo- tions and needs haven’t changed since 1954 or even 1854. We as people need each others compa- nionship. Even John Milton agreed that “No man is an island entire of itself.” We as humans need to know our history to feel connected to the past in some way. Spending time with one another, day after day, we discovered new things in ourselves. Maybe we were enlightened by the same polit- ical philosophy or perhaps our hearts were opened to love for the very first time in quite the same way as someone in 1954. Everyone survived the years despite the many times we went out on an emo- tional limb for the sake of love. The often inevitable heartache experi- enced doesn’t compare to the strength we gained from the tears. Having to learn to overcome our fears by deahng with pain is a les- son in life that will never be outda- ted. Style and ideals of a fixed time have changed from year to year but human nature hasn’t. So what’s the difference? The answer is obvious, there is no dif- ference. - Laura Catanzariti rrrrr j-- --- Above: Senior Tom Saur leaves the Gym after a period of phys. ed.
