Jonathan Dayton High School - Regionalogue Yearbook (Springfield, NJ)

Text from Pages 1 - 188 of the 1978 volume:

For Reference Not to be taken from this library student life 3 friends 14 us 36 ports 114 groups 146 etc. 166 fREE PUBLIC LIBRARY SPRINGFkELO, M J It is in this light that we, the Class of 1978, remember Mr. Fiordaliso, whose devotion shined throughout everything he did. From the beginning of our high school years he was our principal, our representative, our friend. He rejoiced with us when our accomplishments were great, understood when we failed, and gave us the strength to continue when all hope seemed lost. It is because of his genuine interest in the students, his warm and gentle way of working for us and with us, that we wish to dedicate our Regionalogue to Mr. Anthony Fiordaliso. 2 I take with me a knowledge two-fold: the friends and beliefs I have acquired alongthe way and a sense of my own importance. There are many things ahead of me . . . and I can ' t help but wonder where I ' m bound. 6 7 In future years to come, as I look back upon my memories of this special Halloween, I will recall, in a pleasant light, times spent laughing. 10 If we could only cherish the times as they are and remember, with a smile, the things of the past, then perhaps we could confidently approach all that the future holds for us, without reservation. 12 13 14 As you prepare to depart from Jonathan Dayton and g your separate ways, I am certain it is with mixed emotion — from a feeling of excitement and eagerness to confron the future to one of reluctance at leaving that which is saf and familiar to you. These years have been enjoyable ones, but they have alsi been ones filled with learning and preparation for what i to come. I hope that you have gained much that will benef i you the rest of your lives. Wherever you go, whatever you do, I feel confident tha you are ready to meet the future. My best wishes go with you.

Not Pictured: Mr. Robert Whelan 17 It is not merely the ability to manipulate numbers, but the art of Mrs. Una Mellon . . . but that ' s not all. They have shown Mrs. Sherry Ziegenbalg us the art of inquisition, the way of ques- tioning a problem in order to find a cor- rect answer — and this is the basic method for learning. Mrs. Irene Swenson Mr. Thomas Baker finding solutions that satisfies the mind in mathematics. Mr. David Van Hart Mrs. Mary Killmer Mr. John Kovolisky The literature created by the hand of From Great Expectations to Crime and Punishment our English teachers have guided us carefully. They have given us insight into the complexities of literature where we could find none. Our knowledge of the works of well-known writers, the classics that speak to mankind, is great — yet we haven ' t learned it all. If it weren ' t for our teachers, though, we wouldn ' t have come as far and that ' s what makes them so special. Our English teachers; They know not where their influence stops. Mr. Joseph Trinity Mrs. Mary Ellen Vershuren Mr. James Skobo Mrs. Dolores Smith Mrs. Barbara Hedges Mrs. Evelyn McGill Mrs. Marcia Kendler 20 mankind is the essence of our English. History is a composite look at people; We have learned the facts as well as the realities. Our teachers have tried to show us an unbiased account of the psychological and sociological factors which influence humanity, from the signing of the Declaration of Independence to the present day. Were it not for our historical knowledge, we might not have any perspective as to where our paths may lead. Mr. David Cowden Mrs. Jean Cusumano Miss Linda Duke Mr. Dennis Fox their ben a vi or, tneir a reams, tneir realities. Men love to wonder, and that is Darwin said that we are all part of an evolutionary process; yet we continue to reach for explanations. We have learned that our knowledge is never complete, and it is our nature to ponder the scientific areas of life. Our teachers have tried to give us the answers, but they have also said that we must find them ourselves . . . this is what makes Science so intriguing. Mr. Leonard Ferrara Mr. Roland Marionni Mrs. Mary Shanahan Mr. Peter Danilo 24 seed of our science. — Emerson Language gives us a reason to communicate Mrs. Susan Eckman Miss Anita Epstein Miss Carolyn Fahrmann Mr. James Farrell with people of different lands. Mrs. Regina Hostovsky Irs. Barbara Oberding Mrs. Irene Sikorski Mrs. Roberta Schectel Mrs. Miriam Slipowitz 1)° D A S G L K Through their teachings, our language teachers have told us that language is the key to the world. Once we master the art of speaking, our communication with the rest of the world is unlimited. 27 In order for us to expand our knowledge, we must ue fjiiysiuauy in iu a u e ine uisa jijuii iimei us. Mr. John Swedish Mrs. Nancy Dougherty Miss Ruth Townsend Miss Judith Tompko It is called physical education because that is just exactly what it is. Our health and gym teachers have helped to stimulate in us a physical awareness of ourselves. Vvlin me SirUKG Ui a urusii ui mc ouu i iu ui a uui u, ai i yiv a uo inc auuuy lu n nay e. Mr. Albert Dorhout Mr. Jeffrey Anderson To become a well-rounded individual, one must experience learning on very different levels. The Arts provide us with a new dimension in learning. The key is to be aware of our existence and to have the ability to express our feelings. Whether we use a musical or artistic medium, we can sound our furies and paint our visions naturally — and we can speak in a different voice ... the voice of culture. Mr. Robert Risden They come here for a special service: to aid us, both teachers and students, during the school day. By careful instruction we open Industrial Arts to an area of prolific construction The technical aspects of art help us to learn the basics. By use of it we can build a crutch on which to rest our weary minds. Our teachers have shown us the necessary tech- niques for living. Mr. William Nielson Mr. Henry Hassel Mrs. Eleanor Billig Mr. Robert Lowe Mr. Leon Kvedar 32 If you can type well, account for your losses, and man age monies, you ' re in Business. Whether it be the business of our international corporations or that of suburban firms, it is an integrated part of our society. We have learned that people must associate with each other on per- sonal terms — they must also interact in business transactions. Mr. Martin Taglienti Mrs. Dorothy Cassak Mrs. Antoinette Malloy Throughout our lives we will be decisive individuals, yet there does come a time in each person ' s life when one needs a little guidance.

Dayton finished the season with a record of thirteen wins and one loss in the Surburban Conference, while compiling an overall record of fourteen wins and one loss. The team was honored by placing second in their conference. Senior co-captains Gregg Rusbarsky and Brad Weiner were awarded respectively first team and second team All-Confer- ence Honors. Senior Russell Lausten was given third team All- Conference honors. Sophomores Jeff Knowles and Rich Bantel were selected for second team All-Conference honors. Dayton achieved the best dual record of all the teams in the Surburban Conference. Nineteen members of this year ' s squad have received varsity letters, nine of them who are underclassmen. Other members who have not received awards have gained valuable experience and knowledge of running. According to Coach Taglienti, This year ' s season was, for the main part, successful and enjoyable due to the great group of athletes that competed. As their record shows, Dayton did exceptionally well in cross-country competition and experienced a truly enjoyable season. 117 Coach Nancy Dougherty Front Row (bottom) left to right: Shari Reich, Barbara Calamusa, Moira Halpin, Carol Wingard, Penny Levitt.

Our 1977 girls ' Varsity Gymnastics team ended their fourth season with ten wins and four losses, the finest record ever achieved by the gymnasts. Seniors Barbara Calamusa and Moira Halpin provided the necessary experience and depth for this years ' winning season. Dayton ' s team was well-rounded and displayed a good balance of team spirit and progress. Barbara and Moira represented Dayton at this years ' sectional meet. Moira competed in the balance beam and floor exercise events, while Barbara dis- played her talents on the uneven parallel bars and balance beam. In the first union County Championship meet, hosted by Dayton, Moira Halpin received a second place medal in the balance beam competition. David Brearly and Madison gave Dayton two of their closest matches. Dayton won the meet against David Brearly by three tenths of a point and beat Madison with another very close score. According to Coach Dougherty, The team has pro- gressed significantly each and every year. Team records and individual performances have increased and been perfected over the years and this season was no exception.

The team record does not justly display the kind of year that was presented by the 1977 Varsity football team. Captains Donald Lusardi and Robert Bohrod provided th necessary leadership and boosted team morale. Key moments for Dayton were the first halves with New Providence and Verona. Against New Providence one of th state ' s finest teams, Dayton held a 6-3 half-time lead. There were many disappointments throughout the season; however, as Coach Oliver suggested, When you have a ye like we ' ve had, there are bound to be many letdowns and flaws, but this year ' s Seniors never let down. They presented tremendous attitudes. They never just went through the motions.

Soccer Dayton Soccer once again candidates for All-conference honors; Joe Sangregario, Michael French and Todd Malamud were chosen. Sangregario, the field captain for Dayton ' s Var- sity Soccer team, was chosen for second team honors. Michael French, a co-captain was selected for third team honors. Todd Malamud, a nominee for third team honors, and Michael Wittenberg, co-captain, provided necessary defensive skills for the team. Steven Shindler was the goal keeper for all of the game until he was injured at the end of the season. Dave Lauhoff played fullback and filled in as goalie; he was outstanding in both positions. Billy rose and Tim Hannigan were replacements for starters; playing with strength and fortitude. The most rewarding games were those with West Orange and Summit, when Dayton won with scores of 5-0 and 7-1 respectively. The last game, though it was lost by Dayton, was probably the finest game played. The team members, along with Coach Skobo, should honestly be commended for their achievements during their rewarding season.

Cathy finished the season with a personal record of 9 wins and 4 losses. Playing second singles was Senior Sandy Crane who finished the season with the team ' s best individual record of 1 1 wins and 2 losses. Sandy lost only one match in the Suburban Conference play duringthe entire season. Barbara Martino played third singles this year and completed a record of 8 wins and 4 losses. First doubles were covered by Senior Sue Wallach and Junior Lori Gabay. They provided the team with strong support in the first doubles spot.

In the State Tournament with Hanover Park, singles players Cathy Gerndt, Sandy Crane and Barb Martino all won their respective matches. The first doubles team of Jill Craner and Lori Gabay were also successful. With these vic- tories, Dayton won its team opener by a score of 4-1. In their second tournament match with West Essex, Dayton lost by a score of 5-0.

The players main- tained a strong defense during each of their games, which suggested their cooperative efforts. Their second game against Verona proved to be the turning point in their conference standing Dayton managed to organize a course of action which enable them to break the tie, winning second place in the Suburban conference. The team was the epitome of power, using strategic meas- ures to gain the lead. Mary King, captain, and Ellen Stieve, co-captain, held the team tightly together during the season.

Among the team ' s many highlighters were a county individual champion, group relay winners and a group who finished the state relay in third place. The outstanding competitors for Dayton were Senior Brad Weiner, who finish ed first in the Union County meet with a time of four minutes, 36 seconds in the mile; Senior Mitchell Kras- noff and Freshman Paul Commarato, who combined their efforts to finish first in the high jump relay with a height of 11 ' 8 ; Pete Keramas, Jeff Knowles and Seniors Gregg Rus- barsky and Brad Weiner formed a two-mile relay team in the State Relay meet to win a bronze medal.

Jeff Zeller Jamie Halper 135 The Cheerleaders have always been known as a spirited group of people, willing to give of themselves to help stimulate Dayton ' s athletic events. This year was no excep- tion. The participants in the 1977-78 Varsity Cheerleading squads encouraged the teams at the games and supported them throughout the year. They worked to create ef- fective and enjoyable performances, during the game, as well as for game intermissions, and they helped the players to become proud of their achievements.

Not only were their matches fairly successful, but they exhibited many outstanding players. Skip Ligouri, captain of the team and three-time letter-winner, was extremely skillful in the sport. David Getchlik and Toby Lesof- ski, both second-time letter-winners, helped the team achieve its wins throughout the seasons. The matches were most com- petitive, yet all of the players led Dayton to the Suburban Conference with desire and fortitude. The combined talents of all persons determined the team ' s versatility, with its five re- turning lettermen, the 1978 Varsity Golf team experienced a very rewarding season. It has been a challenging season for Dayton ' s first softball team. The players showed interest and determination despite their lack of experience and proved their merits in several competitive games. They met Johnson Regional, defeating them with a score of seven to three, and proceeded to chal- lenge David Brearly, winning by nine points. All players exhibit- ed their newly-acquired techniques during all of the games. Led by co-captains Rosanne Gagliano and Ellen Stievie, the team competed with a persistent attitude, which helped them to maintain their morale and stamina. Although the competition in the Suburban Conference was considerably strong, the play- ers ' cooperative efforts proved them a good match.

The baseball team is comprised of an all junior infield, all senior outfield and mixed pitching. This years team is relying heavily on their strong defensive outfield. Seniors; Kevin Lalor, John Lamotta, and Bob Bohrod all provide the necessary defensive skills, while also displaying ample power at the plate. Junior pitcher, Dave Var- gas is expected to compile the best individual record of this year ' s squad. Coach Ed Jasinski is quoted as saying if our pitching and hitting improve, a .500 % record should be easily within our grasp. When asked about next years team, Coach Jasinski believes strongly in this years juniors with strong help coming up from the junior-varsity team.

Kevin Doty, persisted in his competitions in the hurdles, long jump and high jump. Jay Fine, Dayton ' s devoted hurdler, maintained his sta- bility in every game. Brad Weiner, Gregg Rusbarsky and Rus- sell Lausten, distance runners, combined their efforts throughout the season, and helped to, along with Willie Wilburn and Israel Josephs, satisfy the team ' s urge to win. Rick Spina exhibited an amazing fight for the team ' s achievements. The team placed fourth in the Union County Relay Championship. Their spirit and ability, as individuals and as a whole, deter- mined the season ' s success. The 1978 Varsity Volleyball team was faced with very threatening forces, but the teammates coalesced their efforts and overcame their opposition in several outstanding games. During one game, Dayton was losing by seven points, yet they managed to pull themselves up to a 16-14 lead. Moira Halpin, a respectable server for the team, began the volleys with de- fiant strength. Although her serving was outstanding, her gen- eral techniques were as commendable. The team, captained by Caroline Weeks, used a phenomenal amount of new strategies, offensive skills and defensive tactics to emphasize their chal- lenges. Their games against Millburn and Nutley epitomized their active success in volleyball competition.

Neil Meisel, playing first singles and Art Salmon, playing second singles added to the team ' s success. Mickey Gottlieb and Chris Johns, both competitors in the third singles category rounded out the team with their supportive playing. The team lost a close match against West Orange which sparked their pursuit of victory, and the players maintained their honest attempt at winning all of their remaining matches.

Mama, a sweet and capable woman, watches her children ' s growth into maturity, managing to educate them along the way. With all of her strug- gles, she finds solace in the beginning of her daughter Karin ' s writing career. Mama ' s sisters, Jenny, Sigrid, and Trina, and her Uncle Chris furnish a rich background for a great deal of comedy and a bit of incidental tragedy, while the doings of the children manage to keep everyone in pleasant tur- moil.

Rick Spina played Henry Higgins with both vitality and professionalism. Kris Peterson portrayed Eliza Doolittle, the young flower girl, with a beautiful sense of realism. The character of Hig- gins friend, Colonel Pickering, was mastered splen- didly by John Halecky. Mitchell Slater played Alfred P. Doolittle, Eliza ' s lonely father, with great energy and vitality. Other lead roles were splendidly por- trayed by Doug Schon, Sandy Crane, and Marie Di Giorgio. There must be a special mention to the magnificent chorus work in the show. All in all be- tween the talent and great work done by all the crews and orchestra, My Fair Lady will be remem- bered as one of the finest musical productions in the history at Jonathan Dayton.
