Monroe may be deve- loping rapidly, but still signs of beauty and inno- cence remain. A walk down a dirt road shows the many varieties of wildlife. From the deer running freely in an open field to the butterfly sit- ting in the midst of a col- lection of wild flowers.

Panther mascot Cindy Brescia swept off her feet. “Freshmen, sophomores, juniors arise. Class of '80 has arrived,” chanted the seniors as they stormed into their first pep assembly as SENIORS! In the pool area the seniors were exploding with spirit anxious to start their march down to the gym. Once there, that well-known senior pride shone through as the underclass rose to their feet for them. Superballs flew across the gym headed for the itty-bitty freshmen after their failing attempt at a class cheer. School spirit was displayed by the posters plastered all over the walls. “Immobilize Immaculate”, “Corral the Mustangs”, “Beat ’em up Panthers!” Poor Mr. Bodnar wore a whipped cream mask. The classes cheered together to bring those pies up the ladder and into his sweet, little face. Superballs, whipped cream, class cheers, school spirit and pride all came out in an effort to raise the pep of the student body, and it worked! The football team beat Immaculate 14-7. collage of creativity It is immediately evident upon entering either two of the art rooms that the rigidity of the academic classroom has been left behind. Entering, perchance, during the middle of a class one finds students clustered in informal groups of friends engaged in idle conversation, perhaps accompanied by a radio playing in the background. Some students will profess this is the only reason they take art — as a break from the daily schedule. One need only take a look at the majority of classes, however, to recognize an abundance of creativity and talent. Mrs. C heryl Adams Physical Education Mrs. Sandra Banks English Rcading Mr. Robert Baroni Social Studies Mrs. Susan Berube Science The art rooms themselves have their own unqiue aspects the glorious clutter of Mr. Butler's room, and the gallery-like entrapments of Miss Wallace’s room. Here are self- contained worlds alive with activity. Within their walls one can find imagery that runs the gamut of the artistic spectrum. In Miss Wallace’s room, the accent is on two-dimen- sional art. produced by drawing, painting, and anatomy students. The works displayed around the room are varied: still lifes from basic drawing classes, anatomical figure studies, and diverse paintings landscapes, portraits, even fantasy (a six foot painting of Treebeard. from The Lord of the Rings, for example). Mr. Butler’s room is home of the independent art classes, in addition to regular art classes. Independent art students are given free reign to do what they want, and it results in some people trying every form available, and others sticking with just one discipline all year. Because of this. diversit abounds. A stroll around the room during a typical day might find somebody spinning potters, another person pounding a hunk of clay against the counter as if it posed some kind of threat to life, somebody making posters promoting an upcoming dance, some- one idly dab- bing an oil painting while engaged in a lively conversa- tion with a friend and somebody sculpting a weird, fantastic creature. One might also wit- ness students involved in macra me. call- igraphy. wood carving, block printing, pencil sketching, and perhaps just sitting and thinking — try- ing to envision their next mas- terpiece. There is no doubt: the art area is proof that the fine arts are alive and well at Masuk.

Swimming classes are held every day here and Monroe resi- dents often make use of it at night. Beginners huddle around the edge of the pool and check the temperature with their big toes. Experienced swimmers leap off the diving boards with such ease. Those students with greatest swimming ability attend the life saving class and may become certified life guards. At the end of the period one could hear the murmur of hair dryers as everyone franti- cally tries to dry their chlorinated hair so they can once again become presentable.

Dave Campopiano prefecting his basketball techniques before fall tryouts. Taking some time oul alter a rigorous workout on Ihe weight machine. Both of the gymnasiums offer a wide variety of activities to cover extended areas of interest. John Giampaolo, Trudi Kelly, Cheryl Adams, and Vincent Lombardo familiarize the students with field hockey, volleyball, softball, track and field, tennis, and square dancing, etc. The all-purpose gymnasium is utilized by gym classes, an occasional assembly, athletes taking advantage of its facilities to practice for an upcoming tryout, and in the afternoon, a team that could not play in the mud after a downpour. There is something alluring about a weight machine — to go to battle with a mechanical monster and know you will never beat it. perhaps to fare better than you did the last time. Many athletes are required to lose themselves in the device for a time in order to achieve better conditioning. To the general male populace it stands as the major attraction in the auxiliary gym. Others who obviously could care less about the contrap- tion, enjoy the gym for the abundance of gymnastic equip- ment such as the horse, the parallel bars and the mat. The universal gets full use. cooperation of hands Hammer, lathe, enlarger, blueprints — it’s a totally different situation; it’s learning without get- ting bored because work is no longer a task. The most beneficial experience is that of self accom- plishment and the feeling of pride in one’s com- pleted project. The Industrial Arts program offers a wide variety of interesting courses ranging from photography to mechanics, involving both class- room assignments and individual work. Kevin Shute.

The carpentry class took on the challenge of building the Senior Lounge Wall and constructing balance beams for the Auxilliary Gym. They also helped out the Child Development class with a little project they all enjoyed. In all the Industrial Arts courses the students acquire many skills which they can and do apply outside of school. Bob Charncy checks under the Frank Casey smooths down the hood. rough edges.

For studying, homework, or those dreaded term papers, the library is the place to be. The place to go to comfortably sit yourself in the pit and get into a magazine. When one walks into the room he encounters many things and many people — books, magazines, newspapers, and friends. Instead of the cafeteria many students prefer to spend their free time in the library. The serious atmosphere and the ruf- fling of turning pages sets the scene for the studious ones in the bunch.

Your well developed and oft displayed sense of humor, our ability to unite, your vigor and your talents will not vanish from my memory with your departure. You are the types of young men and women who will and should provide the leadership as well as “spirit” to your generation. Your next few years of life will serve you well if you continue to approach every challenge in the manner you have demonstrated while here.' You deserve our confidence, and you have our support.

Under the new direction of Mr. Michael Wallace, the music department has a successful program. The band and chorus give students a chance to excel in areas other than the basic academic subjects. The community has an opportunity to hear these groups perform as they put on Christmas, Spring, and Jazz concerts, and also demonstrate their talent for the elementary schools with annual visitations.

They are very informal situations in which the students can unscramble and then apply their class- room theories. Most students look forward to labs as a different form of learning and a break from the usual routine.

Sue Baxter and Ed Malota test for PH More and more students are getting acquainted with the resident computer, and discovering its broad range of uses. Students get to know the computer through its five terminals, which look like typewriters. Actually, two don’t even use paper — the words are displayed on T.V. screens. It’s a safe bet that most people use the computer to play simulation games. A per- son can become a golf pro, a basketball star, a football hero, or a pilot of a moon lander or even the Starship Enterprise. Then there are the programming classes where students really learn about the computer and actually write their own programs. A lot of other math classes do com- puter work. too. And let’s not leave out the enlightened souls who program inde- pendently, just for the fun of it. The computer also helps a number of wayward seniors in their search for the ‘per- fect’ college.

As the day progresses, and lunch time comes around there is a choice of three different types of lunches. Sandwiches, salad, hamburgers, hot dogs, and french fries, or the lunch of the day. Privileged Seniors get their own private area to eat in, the Senior Lounge. The lounge is separated from the rest of the cafeteria by a wall and is equipped with couches, reclining chairs, and a stereo. Most Seniors spend their study halls in there playing cards, doing homework, or just relaxing and listening to the music. Lee VonGlahn leaves the lunch line Secretaries Mrs. Josephine Kilcoyne.

He is always there giving his all to whatever he ventures to do. He has directed plays at Masuk: Dark of the Moon, Impossible Years, Bloomer Girl, Funny Girl, and others along with running the graduation exercises. Mr. Wolfer came as prin- cipal to Masuk from Newtown in the summer of 1961. and continued as principal until he left in 1967, when he took on the “Capsule Program” at Fairfield Prep. During his principalship Mr. Wolfer greatly re-enforced the drama and chorus programs at Masuk. Under his leadership the Junior-Senior Prom became the highlight of Masuk’s social world with the juniors planning and executing it. He returned to Masuk in 1974 as Master Teacher in the English Department where he has tried to teach the basics of English, help students under- stand Plato and other philoso- phers, and to help them become aware of their own personal phi- losophies. Though not everyone has had Mr. Wolfer as a teacher, all of us have seen or met him. The Class of '80 would like to salute Mr. Wolfer for his dedica- tion to his work and his students and hope that he will continue to share himself and his knowledge with others. 33 34 Hats on (or Julie, John, Dave and Sarah.

November 7 was noted as “Hat” day. with each student wearing their favorite hat and the senior class showing off their new red and white cowboy hats. Prizes were awarded to the student in each class donning the most original head gear. The winners for each class were Gail Hastings — ’83. Alan Pavia — ’82, Ray McPadden — ’81 and Beth Marchant — ’80. After school that day members of each class stayed to decorate their assigned corridors with streamers, balloons and posters because judging took place very early Thursday morning. Each class used their imagination and creativity to its fullest, with the sophomores coming through to win the $25 1st prize. The classes pulled together in an effort to display their school spirit in new tradition. Nancy Omonte in position to receive the volleyball. 37 .. .and then there was rain. Saturday morning it poured and the decision was made to cancel the parade. However. Coach Butler didn't cancel the game and it went on but without the festivities that were originally scheduled. The rededication took place at noon as planned, the highlight being the presentation of the key to the school. The dance also went on that night, with music played by Slick. Plans were then made to change every thing to the following Saturday against Pomperaug. The classes desperately tried to get new trucks for their floats and make new slogans for the game. The parade kicked off at 9:00 from the Grand Union and pro- ceeded up Rt. Ill to the green. The classes all pulled through in their exhibition of school spirit with their floats and clowns. At halftime the band performed an excellent show which was then followed by the crowning of the King and Queen, and Court. It was then announced that the Senior class had taken first place in the float competition with the freshmen class being named the runner-up. By the end of the game the Panthers had wrapped it up and beaten Pomperaug by the score of 22-0, taking the WCC Title. The Senior Class letting every one at the pep assembly know they are present.

November 12, the senior class held a roller skating party at Milford Roller- land. Because of a great interest by the under- classmen in the activity, the opportunity to go was extended towards them. Everyone who signed up assembled at Masuk at 6:00 for the journey to Milford. There was much anticipa- tion and anxiety on the bus by both the more experienced skaters and tne first-timers. Upon arriving, and getting on their skates, people started going onto the floor, the braver first. The combination of flashing lights, loud music and a fast talking D.J. helped get the skaters in the proper mood. The time flew by and before they knew it, it was time to leave, take off their skates, discover new' blisters, soothe bruises and hobble out to the bus to recover on the ride home.

When it comes time for elections, many students are unsure of the job of a person elected to the MRA. MRA stands for the Masuk Representative Assembly. It is comprised of three stu- dents from each class, 8 teachers, 1 administrator, and 3 parents. The group is a council which tries to make changes in school policy and voice the opinions of fellow school members. The group is energetic and ambitious, sponsoring 2 Blood Banks and organiz- ing the annual Holly Hop. Laurie Anderson plays active part as chairperson. Group considers motion to adjourn.

The Masuk Free Press, under the leadership of Mr. Shea, is published about five times a year through the journalism classes. Each issue has sec- tion editors in charge of putting his or her section together, with the editors changing for each edition.

The club has vari- ous fund raising activities, including M R fund raising kits and their annual Thanksgiving Basket Raffle which was won this year by Sarah Faust, and proved to be very profitable. All monies the members raise are used to fund the trip to the annual State FBLA Convention in New Haven. During this convention each school competes against each other in various business skill events. The group also has a Christmas nursery school party and a Valentines Day party for the senior citizens at Masuk. The main objective of FBLA is to prepare Business students in becoming more aware of surrounding enterprises and to gain an understanding of how they operate.

Tests given at Masuk are also given at other schools throughout New England. All the scores are compared and the winners are announced. There are many outstanding members who have been in the club for four years, John McDonald, Patty Herb, (and also many newcomers). When the test is finished, many sit around dis- cussing questions or eating the refreshments supplied by Miss Conley, their advisor. Brian Carney discusses his answers.

There are times when there is no work to be done and there are other times, when there just aren’t enough people to do the work. There are many changes which can be noted in this book. The first was to combine the faculty pictures with articles about various academic areas. Another change was to feature a random group of seniors in selected articles. The theme chosen for the book is growth in the 80’s which accounts for the tree, repeated throughout. The staff of Exodus ’80 has worked hard to capture the year as it happened.

The hockey season was really 3 different seasons; a slow start, a coming together of the team with a string of victo- ries, and then due to grade failures and injuries, a disaster- ous last two weeks. The team was young comprised of mainly sophomores and juniors but with a strong senior defense of Fagan, Doyle, and Sabo. The play was sparked by Don Triano who scored four goals against Shelton (5-3) and Don Sabo who scored two hat tricks one against Lee 5-3 and one against Farmington 5-5. Sophomore David Stroz scored four goals during the 10-2 win over Lee in the New Haven Coliseum. Dick Young aggressively alternated between wing and center and Lloyd May and Steven Brown worked the right wing position. A great effort was put forth against rival Shelton. Having won the first game 5-3, the team was psyched about a sweep. Down 2-0 going into the second period the come- back began. The constant hard checking and the clean pas- ses. TEAMWORK. Oh. to beat Shelton. The first time in three years. 4-2. A quick meeting at the goal cage. Tim Dvorak is well guarded near the opponent’s goal. Don Triano winds up for a slap shot.

They along with their advisors, must cooperate as a team, where they work for the improvement of their classes. The revitalization of school spirit was a motivating factor which called for each officer to contribute. Homecoming Week was a combined effort by all of the officers and it is hoped that future classes will make this a tradition.

They were nervous before and during the inter- views. but the tension eased as they heard their voices played back. George Michaels, the show's host, was very amiable, and allowed the students into the studio while he was on the air.

For it takes these three attributes to become as accomplished as Billy is at Boxing. Billy has participated in other sports, but about a year and a half ago discovered that boxing was his” sport. The challenge of working on his own appealed to him. Winning such competitions as the Connecticut State Champi- onship and placing second in the Golden Gloves takes a lot of hard work. Billy does this by running four miles a day and train- ing in Bridgeport five days a week. Billy’s plans for the future include college. After college he feels he might want to pursue his Boxing.

Two students. Patty Herb and Jim Bresnahan. were chosen to be finalists in the competition for the Barton Weller Scholarship. Jim's project involved the film-making process, something which he has always enjoyed and hopes to make a career out of. Patty’s deals with jaundice. She has spent the last two summers in Iowa and is pursuing this topic in order to expand her knowledge in the field. We also have fourteen students who are National Merit Com- mended students, with two of these students. Brian Carney and Bill Graham, being named semi-finalists. This honor is determined by their scores on the SAT's. Several other students were recognized for honors other than academics. Sarah Johnson received the Century III scholarship, which is based on activities and an essay. She will com- pete against other students from the state and then possibly nationally.

Did you know that there are not one. not two. but three Steve Browns and three sets of twins in the senior class. Although the Steves have the same first and last names, that's where the similarity ends. Each Steve has a differ- ent middle name. James. Robert. Andrew, not to mention individual per- sonalities. A few times in their school lives they have all been in the same class. Confusion reigned! Sharing birthdays and sharing thoughts are just a small part of being twins. Although the Dellacortes. Cas- tlemans and Bushs are all fraternal twins, being mistaken as the other twin is frequent. Twins could represent dou- ble trouble to family, friends, and teachers. Jane E.

Always these strange ideas crop up that sen- iors are snobbish, egotistical, overprivaleged. frustrated about college and there- fore excessively hostile to underclassmen, etc. Well, you tykes will be surprised when you learn the truth about us. First and most importantly, we are not snobs. We do not think ourselves better than any underclassmen. Of course, we are older, wiser, and more sensible than any of the smaller beings we sometimes notice in the hallways, and perhaps in that respect, yes, we are better than the rest of you. but still you will not find any senior openly bragging about this in the presence of those lesser then he. As one member of the senior class once said: “All men are created equal. We think it is a quote you underclassmen should live by. And do not think that we seniors don’t care about you, or that we would never do anything for you. Didn’t we put a wall around the senior lounge for your ben- efit — so you didn’t have to watch us having a great time while you sat and ate your lunch in drudgery? Do we not let you eventually sit down at pep assemblies? Who among you can deny that we have made sure you’ve learned life’s most val- uable lesson — how to be humble in the face of things greater than yourself. There is another matter that concerns us. too. Word has it that some type of creature called “freshmen (we’ve theorized that they are some form of sub- microscopic life) often complain that seniors abuse them too much. We must tell i'ou freshmen that this saddens us. If you are pushed around somewhat, you must elieve that it is not intentional, and that we bear you no malice. What are we supposed to do when the biology classes run out of sand sharks and fetal pigs? When it snows and they don’t cancel school, we seniors need something to hit. And we don’t understand why you freshmen complain when we use you to plug large leaks in the roof. Come now, isn’t it an honor when we choose one of you to pedal the bicycle that powers the school’s generator? You should be proud — we hardly ever have power failures. There is a saying among the juniors that disturbs us. They say that the junior year is the best year of high school because seniors have to be serious and worry about college. As to us being worried about college, at least most of us are going to college. It’s going to be real homey around here after you juniors graduate most of you will probably stay on as security guards. Finally, there are complaints that we are given too many privileges. So what if there is a Masuk rule that permits us to execute anyone who accidentally brushes against us? There is a word in the English language called “seniority. Get it — senior... seniority? Don’t worry, if the flywheel in your head is doing too many r.p.m.’s trying to figure it out. it means whatever privileges we have, we’ve earned. Didn’t you ever wonder how with a simple nod of the head we can get by teachers in the hall that would stop the Pope if he didn’t have a pass? Didn’t you ever wonder why we are served the real hamburgers, and you the balsa wood sub- stitutes? It is because we have been here four years, while you have been here a mere three or less. If you’ll kindly remember that seniors don’t obey laws, they make them, then ypu might survive the rest of your days here at Masuk. And so. it is with the honesty, integrity, and sincerity that has always been our trademark, that we say Masuk High School has been a unique experience for us. in allowing us to grow and learn, and in seldom denying our demands for large quantities of alcoholic beverages when we are in a festive mood. We leave the school with a legacy that, no doubt, will never be properly fulfilled. In fact, we sincerely feel the school should be permanently closed down after we leave, for it will have served its purpose. Also, we the senior class arc not adverse to any of you underclassmen singing songs of praise to us, or tearful ballads of lament at our departure into the world. Both are properly justified.
