After a 3-1 start, the team faltered, los- ing four games in a row. The Lions showed great character, however, in their last two games, and compiled a 4- 5-1 final record under the guidance of head coach Steve Marino and his two very able assistants, Carl Eriksberg and William Koscher. The team started the season with a 20-14 win against its traditional opening- day opponent, Agawam. This game was invaluable, for several key players on both offense and defense were playing together for the first time. The following three weeks produced a pair of wins over Frontier Regional and Wahconah, sandwiched around an exciting 34-23 loss to the West Springfield Terriers in which the Lions led 17-14 at the half. At this point, however, things turned sour for the Lions. Losses that could easily have been victories, to Athol, Mo- hawk, Turner Falls, and Ware put a dim light on the rest of the season. Instead of giving up and playing out the rest of the season the Lions showed their character by defeating Mahar 19-13 and playing traditional Thanksgiving Day rival Palm- er to a 15-15 tie. The Lions, on two Jim Parker touchdowns and a two-point con- version toss from Mark Holman to Bob Morton, led 15-7 with less than two min- utes to play. However, Palmer marched 96 yards to tie the game with just 23 seconds left. It was somehow a fitting end for the 1984 Lions. The Lions return to the battlefield.

The 1984-85 soccer team had a very successful year. The Lions made it to the semi-finals, losing only to a tough Cathedral team. The Lions finished with a 12-4-3 record. Jack Vilaca was the returning coach, leading a diversified team with two All Western Mass. selections. The first was Miguel Goncalves, a senior tri-captain who finished the season with twenty-seven goals and fourteen assists for a total of sixty- eight points on the year. The second was another tri-captain, Joey Cretella, who played the sweeper position. Joey saved many games with his aggressive style of play. Other players who performed well were Jeff Coelho, Scott Severyn, Anthony Costa, and Joe DaSilva. Top underclassmen were Saul Chelo, Ricky Lima, Paul. rs Ribeiro, Mark Papuga, Glenn Dias, and Joe La Flamme. z The tri-captains: Miguel Goncalves, Jeff Coelho, and Joe Cretella.

The Varsity girls’ soccer team finished a tough year with a 9-8-0 record, moving up to the more competitive ‘‘A’’ divi- sion. The strong effort put forth by the Lady Lions kept their playoff dreams alive until the final weeks of the season. With tri-captains Maria Andreis, Lisa Fonte, and Carolyn Woods leading the way, the team finished with a winning record. Leading the Lions’ offensive strike was senior Lori Damato, who finished the season with seventeen goals and nine assists for a total of forty-three points. Senior Ellen Russel was voted the team’s MVP. Best Offensive Player was awarded to Lori Damato, and Best Defensive Player to Carolyn Woods. Junior Patti Skowronek gave a lift to the team with her high spirits before the games. Phil ‘‘Flip” Dalessio returned as head coach, and Maureen Brennan returned as the Junior Varsity coach.

While the overall team record was not outstanding, the team made great personal strides throughout the season. Sophomore Tung Bui seemingly came from no- where to become the team’s number one runner, while Seniors Mike Cijka and Steve Sanderson consistently held the second and third spots. Other ac- complished individuals to be noted are Tracy Holley, Paul Kirketelos, Dave Ja- ciow and Rick Drinan, who combined to strip five minutes off the team’s total time: an amazing feat.

Beginning at 1:00 in the afternoon on Friday, October 12, all L.H.S. classes filed onto the bleachers in the gym. The cheerleaders, led by Donna Robbins and Gina Surreira, performed an outstanding show that brought cheers and banners out from the students; including the Senior Class’ sign saying ‘‘Let’s Go Crazy!”’ The climax of the program came with the announce- ment of the team athletes. This too brought cheers and confetti from the psyched students. Some of the most enthused athletes were Paul Noreau, Ellen Russel, Steve Sanderson, and Scott Sevryn, who let everyone know whose soccer team was ‘Number One.’ That evening L.H.S. came together once again for the traditional bonfire, this year built by Mark Lupa. A dummy representing the Athol football team was burned in the fire. Then, at 7:00, the Booster Day Dance began. The Class of 1985 once again showed its inventiveness by featuring a “‘Video-Disc-jockey’’ playing music as well as videos on a huge screen. Everyone who participated in the day’s events had a great time creating the Lion Spirit which was evident at the football and soccer games the next day. HU KE LAU PARTY The first event for the new Senior Class, under the direction of Tessa Chenaille, was held on Thursday evening, September 10, at the Hu Ke Lau restaurant in Chicopee. The party entitled “Welcome to Senior Year’’ began with a meal and a show that brought instant laughs to the evening. Three of the class couples, Joe Ken- neally and Donna Robbins, Kyle Howard and Sandy Homans, and Tom Sears and Kim Motyka were called up to the stage along with Class President Kathy Keough and the three Hula dancers: Mark Bourcier, Bob Morton, and Steve Sanderson. Mark, Bob, and Steve did not leave the stage as quickly as the others because of the Hula contest. Bob Morton’s swiveling hips quick- ly won him the title of Hula King. This was the first event organized by Officers Kathryn Keough, Lauren Borsa, Gina Surreira, and Donna Robbins, and by advisors Mr. Wallace Gay, Mrs. Frances Libiszewski, Mr. Larry Holdsworth, and Mr. Brian Connery. The evening concluded with dancing and everyone saying “I can’t believe we're finally Seniors!” SOPHOMORE BANQUET “Almost Paradise” kicked off the year for the Sophomore Class on Saturday, October 27, 1984. The class showed its originality by breaking from the tradition of holding the banquet in the spring. The affair took place at Ludlow Country Club from six to eleven-thirty that night. Dinner consisted of a smorgasbord, while dance music was provided by a disc jockey from the radio station 99.3 FM, ‘‘The Hot Spot.” The student in charge of the event, Grace Goncalves, along with Vice President Scott Robbins, Secretary MaryAnn Abeid, Treasurer Lance Holman, and advisors Miss Lydia Cepeda, Mrs. Elena Marion, and Mr. Charles Bradshaw worked hard in order for the banquet to be a success and inspire class unity. The highlight of the evening was the class joining together to do the Can-Can to Frank Sinatra’s big hit “‘New York, New York.” 55 HALLOWEEN PARTY A bit of Senior zaniness was evident at the L.H.S. cafeteria on Friday evening, October 26, 1984 when the annual Senior Masquerade was held. The scene was set with a coffin, dry ice, tombstones, spider webs, eerie music, and bal- loons set up by the Senior decorating commitee. Seniors arrived at 7:00 PM and they were dressed for the occasion. Some of the most spec- tacular costumes were: JoAnne Dudek as a chicken; Sandy Kirkitelos, Sheryl Maziarz, and Maria Santos as the Colgate Team; and Dan Valadas as Dracula. Kevin Wikar, Dan Zglobicki, and Paul Turgeon provided music while Seniors danced the night away. The party came to a close at 10:00 with many Seniors wishing that Halloween came twice a-year. 4 NE s WEE SHY WOKS” LF ED AP a VEG SEI ES MER TA GEAEANE JITTER MM ie r i | Ta 58 LIONS’ HOCKEY The hockey team, coached by Mr. Richard Malek, once again had an out- standing season. After compiling a 13-3 regular season and tying Amherst for the Fay-Wright Division title, the Lions were defeated 6-2 by East Longmeadow in the first round of the WMass playoffs. The team’s fine overall record is a re- sult of a balanced defense and a high- scoring offense. Jim Kumor, who post- ed an 11-2 record, and Jeff Steigmeyer, who posted a 2-1 record, gave the Lions an outstanding crew. The defense, led by Mike Rodrigues, Doug Keyes, and Steve Picard, held the opponents to just 3.30 goals per game.

They were allowed to go to the gymnasium at lunch time or during studies. The event was sponsored by Pro Merito in order to give the students in the club a chance to do some charity work and also in order to get L.H.S. students involved. Blaine Applebee watches intensely.

On Friday, February 8, approximately two hundred L.H.S. students jumped rope to raise money for the American Heart As- sociation. This year’s chairman was Senior Paul Noreau, who arranged the teams, dis- tributed pledge envelopes, provided public- ity, and got members of the student body involved. All of the students who did jump collected pledges proportionate to the amount they could keep jumping. They were all excused from classes from 8-11 AM to participate, and music provided by Kevin Wikar and Dan Zglobicki gave extra energy to everyone. The involvement in this activity has grown dramatically since its start by the Class of 1984. The event not only aids those in:need, but helps fos- ter a feeling of unity among the students. Sophomores show their Lion Pride. Chairperson Paul Noreau shows his enthusiasm along with Senior Lisa Baiardi. STUDENTS AGAINST DRUNK DRIVING After several years’ absence, Students Against Drunk Driving (SADD) returned to Lud- low High School. The full-school assembly fea- tured Bill Orr, a representative from SADD head- quarters in Marlboro, Mass., who outlined the reasons why the program should be reinstated at Ludlow. Students were then encouraged to take home a ‘Contract For Life,’’ an agreement be- tween the student and his parents regarding the actions of both after having consumed alcohol. On May 16, 1985, a separate but related assem- bly was held in preparation for the following evening's prom. Arranged by Junior Michelle Manganaro, the assembly featured a state troop- er who demonstrated the use of a breathalizer machine, and Dr. Dziura, a Medical examiner who brought graphic photos that made one real- ize how dangerous drinking and driving can be. Bill Orr asked the student body “‘If one of your friends was too drunk to drive, how many of you would be there to help him or her?’’ At this everyone stood up. Who will volunteer? NATIONAL WOMEN’S HISTORY WEEK Beginning on March 3, 1985, Lud- low High School participated in National Women’s History Week, sponsored by several of its teachers. Mrs. Kowalczyk, a key organizer, said that the purpose of the week was to raise the consciousness level and understanding of the fact that women have largely been left out of our study of history. The idea to celebrate the week came about as a result of two teachers’ visit to the Massachusetts De- partment of Education in West Spring- field, where they listened to the lecture of a women’s historian. The scheduled events ran_ from March 3 to March 9. They included an essay contest, panel discussions, invit- ed woman speakers, and a daily wom- en’s history trivia question. The focus of Chairpersons Sherrie MacDonald and Cheri Steigmeyer. the week was not on any individual, but rather stressed the importance of the woman ’s role throughout history and to- day. Many students participated in the events, giving each speaker a good audi- ence. Reporter Ginny Musante was a favorite. momma IOMEN'S HISTORY RI A vibrant Ginny Musante WWLP-22 from discusses reporting. Senior Tessa Chenaille is a Volunteer in the demonstration of martial arts.

FAMILY DEVELOPMENT CLASSES HOST CHRISTMAS In December, the Family Development class under the direction of Mrs. Clement held its annual Christmas Party. The party was put on by the students, who each brought a guest ranging in age from four to eight. All the members decorated the class- rooms and prepared nutritious snacks. The guests were then treated to games and the making of Christmas cards. Gifts were also distributed by Santa, a.k.a. Todd Glanville.

A total of nine games were lost by three runs or less. The pitching staff, led by Mark Schellhase, Bob Morton, and Dan Sweeney, who threw a no-hitter against Longmeadow, was the team’s strong point.

The plot revolved around two old women who, as a ‘charity’, poisoned old men and buried them in their cellar. Their ‘charity’ is discovered by their nephews Jonathan (Mr. James Martin) and Mortimar (Mr. Howard Bur- rage) who try to protect them from the police. The cast featured Mrs. Nancy Kavka and Mrs. Eleanor Willig as the two spinster sisters, Mr. James Marceau as a nephew who thinks he is Teddy Roosevelt, and Mr. Emilio Bollea as Dr. Einstein.

It's Senior Show time: and what a time it was. On the evenings of February 15 and 16, the Class of 1985 presented their show entitled ‘‘Anything Goes.’’ Preparation for the show began in January when the two student coordinators were elected. They were Joe Kenneally and Joane Dudek, given the job of assisting director Mr. James Mar- tin in all aspects of the produc- tion. There were seven comedy acts and six musical acts in the show. Perhaps the highlight of the show was its finale, a salute to Broadway featuring such songs as ‘‘My Town,” ‘Give My Regards to Broadway,’ and ‘Lullabye of Broadway.”’ Both nights being sel- louts, the Senior class gained good profits for their Class Week ex- penses. A total of 150 seniors par- ticipated in the show, and all of them have memories of those ‘‘Moments to Remember.” Kris, Pressy, Kim, Robbin, and Julie: ‘““Things are Tough All Over.” Michelle and Shana ‘Go Fishing.” a The Veggies brought the house down.

The discrepancy, estimated at $25,000 was apparently due to outdated methods and procedures of coordinating school activities and spending, and is traced back to errors as long ago as 1977. The school committee immediately froze all money in the account, leaving helpless most of the organizations in the school. Mr. James D. Cavallo, Principal was suspend- ed for a short period of time for considering a fund raiser to replenish the fund and enable some important activi- ties to take place. The School Committee had banned fund raisers and hired a private accountant firm, Main Hurdman, to professionally audit the account. The school committee announced later that the ac- count was the responsibility of the Principal, and that action would be taken against him for the disarray. A hearing arranged for May 9th regarding what action, whether dismissal or suspension, would be taken was met by a roar of support for the principal from both the students and the townspeople. The concensus was that Mr. Cavallo was a man of impeccable character and had done a wonderful job in administration for many years. Approximately 400 students walked out of school in protest of the action and the hearing was postponed. At the time of this publication there has been no resolution; however, a new bookkeeping system has been imple- mented, and Mr. Cavallo continues to serve as principal of LHS.

The menu choices were Prime Rib au jus or Baked Stuffed Shrimp, served on tables lavishly adorned with white tablecloths and purple nap- kins and a flower arrangement in the center. After dinner everyone began to dance to the music of the band ‘‘Flyer.”’ Then, at nine thirty, the grand promenade began with all couples lin- ing up to greet the administration and the prom judges.

The officers of the band this year were Heather Fer- rier, President; Mark Bourcier, Vice President; and Diane Slepecki, Treasur- er. Jeff Mei was the drum major for all parades and football games.

The officers leading the group are President, Grace Goncalves, Vice Presi- dent, Scott Robbins, Secretary, Mary Ann Abeid, and Treasurer, Lance Hol- man. They are guided by advisors Mr. Charles Bradshaw, Mrs Elena Marion and Miss Lydia Cepeda. The class has already held their calendar and towel sales, attended several hockey games, a roller skating party and a play. They also held a successful Sophomore Ban- quet in October. Much is expected to come from this fine group of students. Freshman Executive The Class of 1988 was the newest addi- tion to the Ludlow High student body in September 1985. They we re welcomed into the school by the Class of 1986. Class officers are: President Chris Bur- rage, Vice President Paul Dobek, Secre- tary Kim Lynch, and Treasurer, Jenni- fer Sarnelli. Their advisors are Mr. How- ard Burrage, Mr. Leo Cassagrande, Mr. Phelon, Ms. Williamson and Mrs. Ab- dow. The class has held a towel sale and a Christmas dance. They also had a fine turnout for the jump-a-thon. The class is already preparing for a busy sophomore year. 107 As well as some of our athletic teams, the 1985 cheerleaders were outstand- ing. Led by co-captains Donna Robbins and Gina Surreira, the varsity squad per- fected intricate dance and acrobatic rou- tines over long hours of practice, culmi- nating in a spectacular Booster Day ral- ly. Even an early-Autumn leg injury of Gina Surreira could not stop the mo- mentum of this energetic group. The cheerleaders went on to rally the crowds at football, soccer, and basket- ball games, as well as performing at pep rallies to the enjoyment of all. A harbinger of equally successful future squads was the performance of the Ju- nior Varsity and Freshman squads, who rallied fans at J.V. and Freshman games, respectively, as well as perform- ing in the pep rallies. .

Mrs. Libiszewski, Mr. Gay, Mr. Holdsworth and Mr. Con- nery brought five bus loads of seniors to Hampton Beach on Friday, May 31. The weather was sunny and slightly windy, giving everyone a chance to enjoy the beach. Later in the afternoon, everyone proceeded to the boardwalk to shop and have lunch. The last stop of the day was at Salisbury Beach Amusement Park. A highlight of the trip for two non-stu- dents, Mr. Bradshaw and Mr. Holds- worth, was passing through their home- towns, Haverhill and Lawrence. All five buses reached Ludlow High School at 9:30 PM with everyone sun- burned and tired from all of the fun. Everyone loves Mr. Bradshaw. 117 118 Joey Cretella and Craig Gauthier dance with Doreen Ayers. SENIOR BANQUET Hampden County Club was the site of this year’s Senior Banquet on Monday evening, June third. The banquet began with a social hour from 4:30 to 5:30 PM. At 5:30 every- one proceeded to line up for the buf- fet dinner, which included roast beef, assorted cold cuts, fruits, vegeta- bles, breads, and pastas. An added feature to dinner was the picturesque setting of the sun over the golf course, which could be viewed from the hall windows. After dinner the Senior Valedictory was distributed, containing the Sen- ior wills and prophesies. Joanne Du- dek and Joe Kenneally stirred up a few old memories in an address to the class. The four class advisors were presented gifts and a singing telegram from the Class, and Tom Sears and Kurt Staeb entertained with a duet written for the Seniors. Dancing began, the music furnished by The Twelfth of Never. Everyone said goodbye at 11:00, anxious for the Senior Assembly the next day. MELT: 7: yn 45 ae ae eld x : Dinner is served!

SENIOR OLYMPICS On Wednesday, May 31, after Class Day rehearsal, all of the seniors pro- ceeded to the back of the school for the annual Senior Olympics. When every- one had reached the field, Steve Sander- son came running in as the Official torchbearer of the games and the fun was on! Many students chose the egg toss, wheel barrow, obstacle course, ap- ple passing, pie eating contest, Easter balloons, and tug of war to try their skills. For lunch the athletes had pizza, grinders, Soda, and ice cream sundaes. Sharon Covington presented the class with a diploma and a cake from our little brothers and sisters in the class of 1987. The whipped cream war instigat- ed by Mrs. Libiszewski put a somewhat wild end to our high school days. i ‘ P a ee eS . nonin Sharon Covington presents a cake to the Class of 1985 from the Class of 1987.

All of the faculty and students were in attendance as the graduating class appeared for the first time in their graduation attire. Class Day has been a tradition at L.H.S. for many years because it is on this day that individual students are pre- sented scholarships, awards, and hon- ors. The program began with an invoca- tion by Donna Robbins, followed by “The Last Words of David” delivered by the choir under the direction of Mr. Gregory Wrinn. Kathy Keough, presi- dent of the class, then introduced Mr. Cavallo for the presentation of Class Awards and Scholarships. Sheryl Ma- ziarz, president of the Student Council, delivered the State of the School Ad- dress, recaping the accomplishments of the Student Council and her hopes for its future achievements.

These people were: Kevin Wikar, Gina Surreira, Donna Robbins, Cheri Steigmeyer, Sherrie McDonald, Sheryl Maziarz, Kathy Keough, Wendy Gottsman, Lauren Borsa, and Maria An- dreis.

The assembly was arranged and created with much labor and love by Mr. Charles Bradshaw with the help of Mrs. Toni Mancuso and Mrs. Elena Marion. The production has been in the school for many years as a way of saying goodbye from the Juniors to the Seniors. The title of this year's assembly was ‘‘Castles of the Heart.”’ At 10:30 the Seniors entered the auditorium to the song “Scarborough Fair,”’ while all par- ents, faculty, guests, students and administration stood in honor of the Class. Sister Mary Peter, S.P., ‘1985 Woman of the Year”’ of the Springfield Chamber of Com- merce, then delivered the invoca- tion. The Assembly was marked by intermittent sorrow and joy- sad- ness at those parts of the program that reminded one of his fleeting youth: and joy at those that made fun of the way we were. One of the nicest moments was when the Juniors surrounded the Seniors and sang “Auld Lang Syne”’ in a final farewell to them. The traditional passing of the pea- cepipe was also carried on as out- going president Kathy Keough passed it to incoming president Michelle Manganaro. The reces- sional began with a group of Ju- niors portraying the characters from the movie ‘‘Ghostbusters”’ leading the Seniors outside with their balloons. Once on the steps, the Seniors waited for the signal from Mr. Bradshaw to let go of their balloons, which symbolized their letting go of high school years. This assembly, as well as those in years past, was an example of the kind of careanc spirit that can be found at Ludlow Hiyh School. 122 Mr. Bradshaw ends his farewell speech by assur- ing the Seniors that they will all do ‘‘just fine.’ THE HEART” | TO OUR SENIORS He BED rete FAREWELL = May all your castles be b ypon dreams come true!

As the Ludlow High School Wind Ensemble played the traditional ‘Pomp and Circumstance’ the boys, led by Mr. Gay, and the girls, led by Mrs. Libiszewski, filed into the hall as all par- ents, family, teachers, administrators and guests stood in their honor. After an invocation by the Most Reverend Jo- seph P. Maguire, Bishop of Springfield, Shana Ferrigan the number one ranking student in the class, gave her valedic- tory address. Principal James D. Ca- vallo then presented several scholastic and athletic awards. Dr. James E. Tier- ney, Superintendant of Schools, made the presentation of the class which sig- naled Sarmento Silva, Chairman of the School Committee, to begin distributing the diplomas. Kathy Keough, President of the Class then led the class in the- moving of their tassels to the left of their mortar boards, symbolizing gradu- ation, and then she proceeded to give her graduation message. The traditional ‘‘Lord Bless You and Keep You’’ was sung by the Concert Choir, and the graduates began to leave the hall to the tune of ““War March of the Priests.” Jim Kumor gets a hug.
