L ©v£ 1 Dedication Dear Mrs. Joan Lademann, We, the Class of 1985, dedicate without reservation and with the greatest respect, our yearbook to you who have touched the lives of every senior. Not only touched our lives but cleared many obstacles from the path leading beyond Mattituck High School. You devote your time and energy to every individual; if not through your efforts in the college application procedure, then with your heartwarming smiles or cheerful chatter. For your care and concern we are truly grateful ... Thank you, The Class of 1985 2 - DEDICATION MHS's Changing Seasons Summer blossoms and fades into fall. Winter's winds scatter fall's leaves. But beneath winter's icy crust are seeds for spring's rebirth. Seasons change but Matittuck High School continues to value the student as an indivdiual, as a community leader, and as a learning adult. Remaining true to its ideals Mattituck High School is still able to accommodate the rapid changes in society. Each successvie student body brings fresh ideas. So it was this past year in 1984 when Mattituck High School was chosen Newday's High School of the Year for its new and innovative approaches to community service, human understanding, and lifelong learning. Just as seasons change to bring new growth so the successive student bodies have and will continue to bring new ideas, nurtured by a caring administration and faculty, to allow Mattituck High School's spirit to flourish. SUMMER, for most students, is a season for re- laxation, for lying on the sundrenched Mattituck beaches and dreaming. But for Mattituck's staff, faculty, and Board of Education there's much work to be done in preparation for the up- coming year. There are rooms to be cleaned, lessons to be arranged, and monies to be dealt with. SUMMER is also the season for students to take on a job. A and P, Key Food, local farms, or babysitting are most student's source of income. 4 Board of Education Although not the busiest season of the year for the Board of Education, the summer is the time for the annual reorganizational meeting in which elections are held and budget books are closed. The board's most important job, according to member Genevieve Woessner, is to come to a fair economic budget. This is done during the winter when meetings are often held at least once a week.

Often times it's more hectic in the summer at the school than when millions of kids flood the halls in the winter, says Paul Dem- chuck, custodian. He continues, We do a lot of house cleaning during the summer; painting the rooms, cleaning the windows, stripping the desks, and waxing the floors. It's a lot of work!

Students look forward with anticipation to June when they are free at last to roam the beaches. The administrative and teaching faculty on the other hand see the end of school as just another day in their busy work schedule. The administrative faculty, says Mr. Bill Ellwood, continues working throughout the vacation on the summer education pro- gram. There are Drivers Education classes to be organized as well as children to be registered for tennis and art classes. Mr. Lee Ellwood, guidance counselor, explains that the guidance office is up-to-their-necks in paper work. Reviewing policies, formu- lating schedules, and adding curriculum changes are just some of the tasks that must be accomplished before students return from their summer vacation. Guidance counselor, Ms. Greene adds that she takes courses and visits colleges to keep on top of the college scene. In the business office things are no less hectic. Mrs. Meyer, re- minds us that books don't magically appear in our lockers, some- one's got to buy them. Most of the work in the summer is purchas- ing for the up-coming year, she says. The teaching faculty on the other hand, has more free time during the summer. Although they do re-evaluate lessons and take courses, most of the faculty take supplementary jobs. Mr. Roecklein says, ”1 operate a landscaping business. Above right: Mr. Bums (District Super- intendent). Middle right: Mr. Ellwood helps a student (Assistant High School Principal).

FACULTY - 13 The first day of school begins the season of FALL. We walk down those recently empty halls and utter greetings to forgotten friends still unbe- lieving that school has actually started. Glancing around the classroom we recognize the Seniors, Juniors, Sophomores, Freshmen, Eighth and Sev- enth grades that will make up this year's student body. Senior portraits are taken today and the new seniors are struck with the fact that they graduate in 180 days. FALL is also the season of chilly soccer games, joining clubs, applying to college, and making new friends. 15 Another typical Mattituck day begins ... Bzzzzz! The alarm goes off, and another typical Mattituck day begins. At the thought of another fun- filled day of education, you push the snooze button in the hope of getting a few more moments of sleep. Finally, you decide to haul yourself out of bed, and get on the bus. You arrive at school, grab your books from your locker, and dash to homeroom. Scowling about the math test you forgot about, you're off to first period. By second period, you've perked up, remem- bering that today's Friday. You begin to plan for the evening. Third period is gym, and you're playing vol- leyball, your favorite. But you've forgotten your gym clothes again. Rats!! Fourth period drags. Your eyes are glued to the clock, and you dream of lunch. At last, there's the bell. You race out, slam your books into your locker, and you're free for forty minutes. Reluctantly, you return to sixth period science class. Cross! What are we dissecting today?!? Oh oh! Here comes my lunch. Seventh period study hall flies by. By eighth period, you're really psyched up for tonight, and you wait anxiously for the bell to ring. Finally! Now it's time to finalize tonight's plans. You're going to see the new horror flick at the Mattituck Triplex. One student for Gruesome Ghouls, please. Unfortunately, you pick the seat behind the tallest man in the theater. But that's okay, because the movie is really gross. I can't believe he got stabbed thirteen times. How gory! Now you meander over to the pizzeria for some of that fabu- lous Mattituck pizza. While slurping down the Italian delight, you talk about the movie, and the latest gos- sip. You go home, and you're out cold as soon as your head hits the pillow. Sweet dreams, typical Mattituck High School student! Top left: B. Best takes an afternoon snooze. Top right: Y. Nicol, K. Milius, and D. Heinz enjoy a typical downtown lunch. Bottom left: L. deBruyn, A. Reece, C. McDowell, and A. Ku- jawski discuss tonights plans in study hall. Bottom right: J. Mitchell.

It may mean sitting on the cold ground watch- ing a soccer game or spending hours on an arti- cal for the MATTITALK or even running an extra lap to make sure you're in shape for a big game.

Most BOCES students begin their BOCES ca- reer in the fall of their junior year. During their junior year BOCES students take their vocational training in the afternoon while senior BOCES students go directly to Riverhead, the BOCES headquarters, in the morn- ing and come back to Mattituck for their afternoon classes.

Far bottom right: Last years speaker, Father Jim (This fall's was Greg Blass) The 1984-85 Honor Society got a jump on its usual school and community activities this year by inducting eligible juniors into the Honor Society in the fall. Senior member Tom Deans explains the idea really took off because while helping us, the senior members, with the Spaghetti Dinner, our main fund raiser, the juniors will get the experience earlier.” The fall induction gave the new members an opportunity to work with the senior members on the many service actions the Hon- or Society participates in. Planned activities for this year include: The Spaghetti Dinner, the High School Bowl, the selling of candy canes and carnations, the sponsoring of activities for the elementary grades, and the newly introduced Honor Roll for the younger grades. Backbone of the office With the help of these students, the school's health office, guidance office and main office run infi- nitely smoother, remarekd Health Service advisor Mrs. Dickerson as Mrs. Haas nodded in agreement. The health office is particularly bogged down with work in the morning when attendance sheets must be delivered. Cheryl Zolner has been doing an excellent job with the attendance work said Mrs. Kreshon, the attendance clerk. Work in the guidance and main offices is much the same. They aid the secretaries and counselors with much of the leg-work. It is not rare to find an office worker running frantically down the hall looking for John Doe because his mother called or he missed his appointment with Mr. Christy.

SERVICE SQUADS - 67 A fantastic 50th anniversary The 1984 Variety Show was an unequaled suc- cess! announced director Mr. Verity. As a fiftieth anni- versary, it was fantastic. A special edition for a special year. The theme of production of a show was excel- lently portrayed and was very fitting for the anniversa- ry showing. Secrets? replied Mike Sieczka, produc- er, after being questioned, This production had it's share! From surprise poetry readings by unamed facul- ty to lots of gold and glitter. But what did you expect for our fiftieth anniversary? Mr. Verity admits that the show wouldn't have gone on without the elbow grease of many dedicated actors as well as that of the production staff. Producers Mike Sieczka and Jen Wil- son and music director Tammy Harned out-did them- selves as off-stage help. The dedicated actors includ- ed Jim Mitchell, Donna Heinz, John Brooks, and Mike Sieczka. Tammy Harned concluded that it's all been worth it! Above Middle: R. Da- browski, D. Heinz, J.

VARIETY SHOW - 69 The unknown production staff Although actors are essential in a production such as the 1984 Variety Show there are many John Waynes who have never set foot on the stage. The Art Club and Stage Crew (The Production Staff) are the unsung heros of the production. The Art Club, or as Mr. Griff affectionately calls it: The Unknown Art Club , is behind the scenes of almost all school functions. The 1984 Variety Show set was designed by Amy Walker, and the club did the playbills, tickets, and posters for the show. Members take turns designing for major events on a strictly voluntary basis. One of their major contentions is that they are rarely recognized for the work they do. Another unrecognized group is the Stage Crew. Mr. Reilly, advisor, says The secret of success of the Stage Crew is based solely upon hard work and responsibil- ity. The crew is responsible for lights, equipment, and sound. Among the most dedicated workers are se- niors Mike Rutkoske, Brian Williams, and Matt De- Maula. So the next time you see a variety show or play applaude a little louder for the unsung heros of the stage. Above right: M. DiSilvio applies make-up to an actor.

The cadets are given a large portion of the re- sponsibility within the unit and are responsible for making the unit run smoothly through teamwork. The program therefore helps prepare the cadets for the future. Activities within the cadet corps include raising the American flag daily at the high school, Drill Team, Rifle Team, and Color Guard. All these activities require extra initiative, dedication, and hard work. The cadets enjoy field trips to various military installations. In the past the cadets have gone to Norfolk, VA; New Lon- don, CT; Washington, DC; and Parris Island, SC. Other activities include the Annual Awards Ban- quet, Parades, Pot Luck Dinner, and picnics with other JROTC units on Long Island. Above left: M. Commins salutes. Middle left: The NJROTC Club.

The 1984 varsity soccer team was undefeated in league play, showing an 8-0 record, and was 16-3 overall. This fall the team defeated Center Moriches 2-1 for the title of Suffolk County Class C Champions. Coached by Mr. Huey, who was voted League 7 Coach-of-the- Year, the team did an outstanding job. Coach Huey feels it's the teamwork that allows the guys to be so successful. The JV team had an equally successful season. Coach Grabowski, voted JV Coach of the Year, is verv satisfied with the team's play and feels the varsity team will get some really good players next year from his team.

It looks like with the success of this first team Girls Soccer is here to stay. A new record for the boys Seventh Grade Soccer team: 5 wins and 6 losses. This is really good consider- ing the seventh graders play boys of both seventh and eighth grade. Coached by Mr. Gibbons, The Mad Dogs have had an excellent season.

Being a young team didn't help the Varsity girls attain a smashing record but it did allow them to experience the thrill of varsity competition.

This year's cross-country team is considered per- haps the finest group of runners ever to represent Mattituck. Mattituck runners only tolerated one league loss, and they placed second in both the Con- ference and County meets, a feat no other Mattituck Cross-Country team has accomplished. Dan Coughlin led the Mattituck pack with an impressive third place finish in Counties and the Conferences, in addition to claiming All-League honors with teammate Gary Sidor. Mike McGahan, Tom Deans, and Paul Ketrick filled the final three scoring positions on the team. Because of outstanding performacnes in the County Meet, Dan, Gary, and Mike represented Mattituck in the New York State Cross-Country Meet. Good going guys! Above Left: G.

CROSS COUNTRY - 79 Fall News SEPTEMBER RETREAT Because of the popularity of past HUGS retreats, an annual retreat for the junior class is fast becoming a tradition at MHS. In addition to the HUGS retreat program, a group of students has formed the HUGS club which organizes the retreats and varied activities. The class of '86 pulled together and shared a part of themselves on this year's retreat at Shelter Island. It has been described as an enlight- ening experience which creates an atmosphere of both community and individuality. PUBLICATIONS PRAISED With the title of Newsday 1984 High School of the Year award, Mattituck has made its mark as a small but special rural school. Our publications, the 1984 Ex- pression Literary Magazine and the school newspaper, the Mattitalk, have also been singled out for ex- cellence. Competing against many of the largest schools in the coun- try, Mattituck has performed sur- prisingly well. In particular, the Mattitalk re- What an experience! ceived two awards from contests that were entered last year. One of which evaluated High School newspapers from all of New York state. The Empire State Scholastic Press Association (ESSPA), the con- tests sponsor, mentioned the MHS school paper for it's general excel- lence. The other, involved school pa- pers from the entire country, the Mattitalk scored 861 points out of a possible 1000 in overall evaluation. Both organizations awarded the Mattitalk first place ratings. The Expression also achieved distinction. Richard N. Plaso, chair- man of the judging committee of the American Scholastic Press As- sociation (ASPA) reported that the 1984 Expression attained third place in the ASPA's annual contest. Tracy Boyd was the editor of the magazine last year. As a small school, MHS must be proud of the effort that went into the publication and production of Expression said Mr. Plaso. The spirit of HUGS can best be summed up in the following passage. We at HUGS wish to lend An ear to those who need it A heart to those who care And a hug to help another person Who could be in pain or suffer doubt. We will try To be better than we were And to grow with our new knowledge Which is everlasting Our goal is to help those in need and to seek help from one another When we are in need. Wherever we are We don't have to go far To reach one another For it is here Where everyone is a brother. You've got a friend 80 - FALL NEWS THE VAN THAT COULDN'T It seemed to the students in Mr. Roecklein's Marine Biology class the normal level of chaos was present on the morning of that memorable field trip. No one cared that the van scheduled hadn't shown up. They knew Mr. Roecklein would get them there somehow; and he did, well sort of . . . The day got progressively worse when, on the expressway, the temperature gauge hit red. They pulled off the expressway just in time, and only five minutes from the exit the van went to the big white garage in the sky. The class hopped out and pushed the You don't even realize you're learning! corpse to a nearby parking lot. Then, after calling mother M.H.S. for a ride home, the young biologists waited for an hour in the sweltering sun. Although they never made it to their destination, it wasn't your average field trip. Paul Ketrick summed up the day as one I'll never forget.” Mr. Roecklein and the rest of the class agreed. Mr. Roecklein, defending the idea of a field trip as a learning experience, explains, Most students start by thinking that a field trip is just about the best way to get out of school, but actually they unknowingly learn something.” Rocky describes a field trip as Painless learning. He feels there's only so much you can learn from books; one needs to know the practical uses of the sciences. So far Mr. Roecklein has taken his classes to places such as The Fire Island National Seashore, The Quoque Wildlife Refuge, The Southold Marine Center, and The Sag Harbor Nature Center to get hands — on experience. Overall it looks like the field trips are a success. As Tammy Harned exclaims You don't even realize you're learning.

The fund raising event lured over 500 people in for a dinner of spa- ghetti covered with homemade sauce made by the Honor Society and a desert of homemade apple crisp. Because juniors were induct- ed to the Honor Society early this year, they provided for half of the work force.

From the number of spectators at the two Mattituck vs. Southold varsity soccer games this past sea- son, even a total stranger could see that these were no ordinary soccer games. The huge crowds at these games were the result of what may be one of the fiercest rivalries on Long Island. For years the Mattituck vs. Southold games have been highly publicized and have attracted more fans than the rest of the games combined. M.FLS.'s two athletic directors each have an explanation as to how the rivalry developed. Every school has some sort of rivalry, said Mrs. McGlynn, It keeps ev- eryone's spirits up, gives them a push to win. Schools pick other schools close in range and with Rivalry stirs the competitive juices. i £ cheerleader, said Both schools have good teams, among the best on the Island. It started out as spirit but got out of hand. Whatever the reason for the ri- valry's beginning, it will be around for many years to come. Spaghetti — cont. from pg. 82 Mattituck's resident Italian food critic, Mr. Lupia, put away two spe- cially prepared, super-sized platters of Honor Society spaghetti with ease and congratulated the crew with a hearty Ahh! Beautiful job, God yes! matching abilities. Mike Huey, our varsity soccer coach, had this to say about the origin of the rivalry: As long as the schools have exist- ed, both schools have had excel- lent teams and the athletes have grown up together causing a natu- ral rivalry. Some of the soccer players also tried to explain the rivalry. Both teams are cocky and confident of their ability to win, commented Billy Best. Another varsity soccer player, John Brooks, said The rival- ry has always been there, but when Southold started winning state titles both teams wanted to show the other who was better, so it started up again.

Renee Chituk, Student Council president, remarked What little we can do we should do now and fast! The first charity activity was a joint effort on the parts of the Pe- conic farmers and the Student Council members. On October 20 about fifteen members harvested the remaining potatoes for the hungry in the community. The following day, the 21 of Oc- WiTTITUCK HIGH SCHOOL; from the amount needed to cure the world of hunger is gratefully accepted by the hungry. To increase awareness as well as raise funds the student council held a fasting-lunch . On Monday the 19 the cafeteria staff prepared a fasting lunch which consisted of bread, broth, and milk; the average weekly ration for a typical Ethiopi- an! The drive raised 400 dollars as well as informed Mattituck stu- dents how lucky they really are and how desperate Ethiopia is. Even though Mattituck is a small school it's reassuring to know that our student government recog- nizes big problems. FALL NEWS - 85 With WINTER comes hot chocolate at Friday-nite Basketball games; or a furious last yearbook deadline. To some winter may be a season to play in the snow or get a cold. But for most it's the excitement of the holiday season and the musical concerts that come with it. Combating substance abuse Winter marks the first Substance Abuse Educational class in the elementary school. Relatively new, the class still has some rough edges to work out, says Advisor Mr. Christy, but we continue to update the lessons and every year it seems to get better and better. Mattituck High School students visit every class in grades 2-6 and talk, as peers, about drugs and other health-related problems the kids might have. The kids really seem to enjoy the one day a week we come in and talk with them. Whether they just want to waste time or they are really interested, I don't know, but they really learn the stuff! says one stu- dent-teacher. It's a great experience, not only for the kids, but also for the high school students, concludes Mr. Un- derwood, Substance Abuse teacher. Above left:). Wilson and S. Cottrell. Middle left: S.

Featured this year were the Latin Adoramus Te , I Believe In You And Me, as well as revised edition of Silent Night which received a standing ovation. This year the Senior High chorus has grown to an astounding forty members. Erin Murphy feels that the increased size has to do with the number of under- classmen who have joined in recent years. Winter is also the time of the chorus's exchange trip with Stafford Springs High School. President Tammy Harned, vice president John Brooks, secretary Lee Stie- del, and treasurer Jo Anne McNulty were responsible for organizing this year's event.

For this year's annual Holiday Concert the Senior High Band director, Mr. Lester, chose a Christmas Medley . A member explains: It was just a whole bunch of Christmas songs but they were different because they were all put together. This year, to raise funds for their exchange trip, president Tammy Harned, vice president Sue Fisher and treasurer Kelly Ryan decided to sell pop corn and candles. Sales were better than usual, says Tammy Harned and it looks like the approximately thirty members will get a real economic break for the trip to Stafford Springs. First row: Mr. Lester, H.

BAND - 91 Jazzing it up Sixth period everyday seven musicians get together and play jazz which logically is the reason for their name, the Mattituck High School Jazz Association. This winter they played at the Peconic Youth Center and at Mattituck High School's annual holiday concert. Al- though it is a class, it is not the same as the regular band is. It's a lot different than regular band because you get individualized attention, being a small group. It's really a great experience. says one musician. Above right: D. Coughlin plays percussion.

Looking forward to a successful year, Mr. Deerkoski, advisor, remarks; Mattituck has consistently scored high marks in the past and this year is no exception. Mattituck High School participates in two math leagues, the Suffolk County Interscholastic Mathemat- ics League and The Atlantic Pacific Mathematics League. Each of the 45 members meet once a month to solve the challenging problems. The JH Mathletes are enjoying a similar successful season as the Senior Math League, says advisor Mrs. Allen.

Finally the judging stops in the winter with the club's annual spaghetti dinner where they decide the poetry, short story, art, and photogra- phy winners for the upcoming Expression. After the poems have been selected it's time to actually lay out this 32-page magazine. The work's not that bad; it's the judging which takes the most time, says Artistic Advisor, Mr. Griffith. In the fall the 1984 Magazine was awarded third place in the American Scholastic Press Association's award which literary advisor Mrs. Dunne thinks is positively stupendous especially for a smaller school like Mattituck. Although happy about the placement, editor Lili Rosenstreich says, The complaints of the critics although valid were inevitable. For instance, the fact that we had no theme in our poetry can be accounted for by the fact that we did not have the amount of material, being a small school, to discrimi- nate on the basis of theme. Whatever the theme the new 1985 Expression Magazine looks like it's going to be another success. A made-over Mattitalk The most difficult Mattitalk issues to produce are the winter issues. After the holiday excitement has simmered down it's difficult to find a good story, says Mattitalk Editor Margret Morgan. Although difficult the winter issues look great (as do all other season's). Margret feels that this good work has to do with the increased publicity about the Matti talk's make-over with the awards received recently. 'The ASPA and CPA awards for excellence in publica- tions really put our pride to work. We wanted to make each issue better. Above left: M. Kujawski, Entertain- ment editor.

NEWSPAPER - 97 Reflector's changing seasons 98 - YEARBOOK Winter means the end of Reflector's deadlines and the beginning of next year's. This years's Reflector has a new look. Instead of dividing the book into sports and activities, this year's staff decided to set up the book according to the chronological activities that happen in Mattituck throughout the year. Lili Rosen- streich, editor, explains, The idea goes perfectly with our theme of THE CHANGING SEASONS AT MATTI- TUCK HIGH SCHOOL. We just broke down the activi- ties at Matittuck into the seasons of the year in which they happen. Kris Dreis, elementary editor, has had relatively little difficulty with the 32 page Elementary Yearbook. She says The biggest problems was getting started. With the Reflector's new make-over Lili pleads that you be gentle in criticizing it. It was never done before and it still needs a lot of work, but I think the total effect is excellent.

Morale soars The Varsity Boys Basketball Team attracts loyal Tucker fans. One fan was quoted as saying I don't care if they win, I just like to see Mattituck give them a fight. It's true the team isn't doing well but that doesn't seem to matter to the boys. It's amazing how high the morale is, replies a team member. Well boys, keep your spirits up!

Then on that memorable game with Mercy High School early in the season starter Darlene Bakowski broke her index finger and was unable to finish the season. We were thrown off balance by Darlene's injury, but we didn't crumble under pressure, replies captain Tammy Harned. Next year looks pretty good for the girl's basketball team. Being a younger team will be an advantage next year because most of the girls will already have varsity experience. Seniors Tammy Harned, Sharen Beebe, and Ellen Shirvell will be missed, though, admits Mr. Case. Above right: The Varsity Basketball Team First row: S. Beebe, E. Shirvell, T. Harned, D. Bakowski, S.

JUNIOR HIGH VOLELVBALL - 109 WINTER NEWS HONOR SOCIETY'S TRIVIA RALLY The Faculty-Student Trivia Rally, introduced by the Honor Society, looks like true success. With the new rage being TRIVIA it seemed like a good idea to relate this edu- cational idea to FUN. It looks like it really took off. Everybody loves trivial! said one Honor Society member. The Faculty-Student Triv- ia Rally provided entertainment for THE CAFETERIA GETS A FACE LIFT The Student Council, along with Mr. Fisher, Mrs. Smith, and Mrs. Grattan, have made plans to rede- sign and decorate the cafeteria.

As of yet no final decisions have been made except the painting of the walls a neutral champagne col- or to replace the drab yellow, which was an immediate improve- ment. We want the students to take pride in our school. The renovation helped bring out this pride. says Student Council president, Renee Chituk. It started with a basic clean- up from the students themselves. Each Stduent Council member was assigned one day a week as a cafe- teria moniter in which they would make sure all garbage was picked up. Next came ideas for a repaint- ing and it took off from there. The jukebox was the best idea men- tions another Student Council member. It would make money as well as make eating in the cafeteria more enjoyable. It is the Student Council's hope that the cafeteria's new look would discourage students from leaving garbage around and make Matti- tuck a more enjoyable place to eat. 110 - WINTER NEWS THE SECOND ANNUAL SPIRIT DAY On December 3, 1984, MHS held its second annual Spirit Day. Each class held an election for Spirit Leaders. They elected one boy and one girl per class. The seniors elect- ed Neil MacDonald and Cindy McDowell while the junior class elected Brtuce Raffe and Wendy Zuhoski. The sophomore spirit leaders were Mike Commins and Melissa DeSilvio and the freshmen were led by Bob Issem and Jodie Lizewski. Each class was to select a theme, a color, and a song to represent themselves. The judging of the A tradition that's here to stay. WINTER NEWS - 111 competition was largely based on the originality of these three things, as well as on the enthusiasm shown by each class and its amount of participation. The juniors, with their neon col- ors and Shout theme song, won the competition, narrowly defeat- ing the freshmen Patriots . The freshman colors were red, white, and blue, their theme song was (of course) Born in the U.S.A. Third place was taken by the sophomore Ghostbusters and their theme song was (you guessed it) Ghost- busters . The senior class seemed to be starting a tradition, coming in fourth for the second time in the two years of the Spirit Day compe- tition. They wore Hefty garbage bags, and their theme song was Bad to the Bone . It appears that Spirit Day is a tra- dition that's here to stay! Above right: The traditional junior win- ners.

Leona Janzten, Pep Club Vice President, says ''Towel sales started slowly, but picked up as the Tucker spirit rose. The Pep Club's function is not only to raise school spirit at game- time but it is also attempting to raise school pride. It is our hope that students, in gaining school spirit will have pride in the school itself. That they will try to clean up the places that need cleaning up like the cafeteria and the hall- ways, says Mrs. Grattan, Student Council advisor. It looks like the Pep Club is here to stay, says one student. It makes me feel less self-conscious when someone else gets hyper at a game before I do. They're really doing a good job. They even made ME get that old Tucker spirit out of the closet. Well fellow Tuckers let's hear it for the Pep Club HURRAH!! After students voiced their opin- ions at this year's Student Council elections Renee Chituk, President, decided to reinstate the Pep Club. Discontinued in 1982 the new Pep Club has really taken off. After a shaky start the pep club has really started to make an im- pact on the student body, says Mrs. Haas, advisor. President, George Grattan describes the pro- gress of the club: So far so good. After some organizational prob- lems we got down to work and ordered those famous Terrible Tucker Towels; an idea inspired by Above right: The Pep Club. First row: G. Chituk, P. Mathews, J.

It was this night at 8:00 when the Student Council hosted the Winter Semi- Formal, The Heaven Hop. The organization of the dance was nothing less than hectic ' says Margret Morgan, Student Council member. We were worried that we weren't going to have enough enthusiasm, says student Council President, Renee Chituk because in previous years not many people signed up and it was for this reason that they had to be cancelled. It was close this year, but we made it A Night to Remember!' with no one to spare. The band was Wink, our own Bruce Petrucci's musical creation. Although positive and negative re- sopnses were voiced about the music, the complaint being that they played female vocalized songs and the praise being that they played a diverse selection of music, the responses were mostly good. The food was very good. Ca- tered by Brian's Deli in Mattituck, there was a buffet from everything to sausage to fruit covered in chocolate. Yum! Yum! The gym was magically trans- formed in a heavenly ballroom. The sets were painted and helped to hide the stationary seats and wall paper with stars on it helped add to the heaven-like theme. The idea of putting floor lamps near the tables was ingenious; it gave that homey touch. All in all, it was a night to remem- ber! WINTER NEWS - 113 Aside from new life for nature, SPRING brings a new life for students. Students dream of sum- mer. Seniors on the otherhand come to the harsh realization that they must leave the safe confines of Mattituck and face the real world. SPRING is also the season for the Junior Prom, Ding-A-Ling week, baseball, and field trips for all. All students await that day of rebirth when a new summer begins only to start a new fall and so on. 114 A night in heaven .. . On May 18, 1984 Mattituck High School students spent A Night in Heaven dancing to the music of Workin' Class at the elegant Tolendal Inn. Charles Bo- yar and Renee Chituck presided as king and queen of the junior prom which had a new dimension to it this year. After the usual 8 p.m. to 1 a.m. festivities, the prom goers were served a gourmet breakfast. Dean Blaikie congratulated the conduct of Matti- tuck students at the prom and summed it up best when he commented, We hear a bit of unpleasant things about kids, but I must say this prom was a totally enjoyable experience for myself and my staff ... They're doing something right there at Mattituck High School. Above left: The court. B. Best, D. Corcoran, K. Miesner, J. Vitale, C. Boyar, R. Chituk, J. Stellmann, A. Reece, C. McDowell, E.

They visited many points of interest in and around the Madrid area. The students were accompanied by Mr. Howard Gib- bons and several parents. Everyone thought it a unique experience, and there are plans for similar trips in the future. The Spanish club is in the process of earnihg money for the future culture activities; mainly trips to Hispanic countries. Mr. Digons has met with several individuals recently who are Hispanic nationals and he plans to have them speak with the members of the Spanish club. There are also plans to inquire about Home- stay programs where the students will live with His- panic families during their stay abroad. Above left: The Spanish club. Above right: |. Sacker, ].

THE ROTaT BoPbUGH OF KENSINGTON a CHELSEA In the spring of 1984, Mr. Hanus and 32 Mattituck students went to 4 countries in Europe. On their first stop (which was England) they visited Big Ben, Westminister Abbey and Buckingham Palace. On their first night in London they stayed at the Royal National Hotel. On their second day in England they visited Stratford-On-Avon and Oxford. While they were there they visited such places as William Shake- spear's Home, the Royal Shakespeare Theatre and Oxford University. Their next stop; Paris, or the CITY OF LIGHTS , here they stayed at the Royal Magda Hotel. While in Paris they visited the Eiffle Tower, The Notre-Dame Cathedral, Louvre Palace and the Arch Of Carrousel. That evening they took a cruise down the river Seine on the Bateau Mouche. The next day they visited Versailles where they went to the Palace Of Versailles, The Hall Of Mirrors and the Royal Chapel. Then they took an overnight rail ride to Interlaken. While they were there they took a mountain railway to Jungfraujoch, Europe's highest railway station. They viewed the largest glacier in the Alps and visited the Ice Palace. Again they took another train overnight to Florence where they stayed at the Hotel Bonciano. While there they visited the Medici Chapel, the Pitti Palace and the Statue Of David by Michelangelo. The next day they arrived in Rome. Here they stayed at the Hotel Rivoli. While in the Eternal City, as Rome is sometimes called, they visited the Vatican Galleries and Museum, the Sistine Chapel, the Pizza di Spagna with its famous Spanish Steps and St. Peter's Cathedral. The next day they visited Capitol Hill, the Roman Hill, The Colosseum, and the Church of St. Peter in Chains with its famous statue of Moses by Michelangelo.

For a month last spring Mrs. Gibbons, Mr. Brauner, and 26 Mattituck students traveled to Germany. Their first stop was West Berlin. Here they visited the Berlin Wall and East Berlin, which is under a com- munistic government. Then they were off to Fellbach, West Germany. While they were there they each stayed with a differ- ent German family. In turn each German student came to Mattituck for a month to stay with the students that lived with them in Germany. During their stay, the Mattituck students attended the Gustav Stresemann Gymnasium which is the local high school in Fellbach. While in Germany they visited the Torture Museum in Rothenburg, The Bread Museum, The Mercedes Benz Museum in Stuttgart, and Dinklelacker Brewery. Some students were fortunate enough to visit France, Austria, and the Swiss Alps with their German families. There was a tearful good-bye when the Mattituck students left their overseas friends. But all had high hopes of seeing them again when the Germans would come to Mattituck on the second half of the ex- change. Above left: The German club the club includes |. Strezpak, K. Deerkoski, G.

Many shake their head in wonderment over the intrigue and enthusiasm generated by the bat and the little leather-covered ball. Yet those who have recent- ly followed Mattituck Baseball shrug off the chills of the early season, and warm up to the thrills of late inning wins and Championships. The 1984 team managed to defy the skeptics and maintain a three-year string of Championships as they captured a share of the League VII Championship hon- ors with Miller Place. They achieved this with a 17-4 record which represents the best league winning per- centage in over 20 years. This being the teams second year with twenty or more wins (20-7), and their sec- ond Suffolk County B Championship, the 1985 team is challenged to maintain the dynasty. Above left: The Varsity team.

The team is expected to improve next year and should prove to be one of the best seasons yet. Next year with seniors Tammy Harned, Sharen Beebe, Amy Reece, Eileen Grossen- bacher, Jackie Doroski, and Cathy Cibulski, says Coach McClynn, it ought to be a great season! The junior varsity team was also young. The team was made up of three sophomores and twelve freshman. Katie Deans did a fabulous job on the pitchers mound commends Coach Reeve.

The team was lead by All County player Susan Walker with the help of league All-stars Lely Chang and Ellen Grossen- bacher.

Although Mattituck Track's 1984 season may not seem outstanding from a statistical standpoint, a bal- anced record of 3 wins and 3 losses, considering the number of team members, the athletes did a fine job. Consistent winners in the distance events were Dan Coughlin and Gary Sidor, while at the other end of the scale Keith Booker, Arnold Wilson, and Terrence Wood provided scoring in the speed events and the jumps. As for the Junior High Track team, Greg Zanieski and Pat Matthews went undefeated in their events, and the team finished the season with a record of 2 wins and 3 losses. Above right: B.

This fund was established to help the Bates family pay for medical ex- penses in relation to Rodney's ill- ness. With help from the school facul- ty and the student body, the Stu- dent Council was able to plan and organize the foot race. The event was scheduled by the race com- mittee for 9:30 a.m. on Saturday, May 12, 1984. Students have raised money before for other charities but this hit close to home. It was Lisa Bartra's idea to have a foot race to raise money for the fund. Jim Underwood, as an advi- sor for the event, carefully laid-out the 5 kilometer course for the race. The race began at the school and continued through Mattituck town, along Wickam Avenue, south on Mill Lane, west along the Main Road and back to the school where the race concluded. Letters were sent to various or- ganizations and businesses on both the North and South Forks by the Student Council to publicize the race and acquire awards for the participants. Above right: Mr. Underwood and Rod- ney announce the winner. Middle right: Rodney starts the race. Middle left: The Map. Bottom right: The poster by E. Ta- borsky. The Run for Rodney signaled the end of nine months of aggressive fund raising by the Mattituck stu- dent body. By December the fund had raised $1,000 which was pre- sented to the Bates family at the Spirit Day Pep Rally. The Bates' struggle for Rodney's life concluded with a happy end- ing. After receiving a bone marrow transplant in Feburary, Rodney was able to return home and recuper- ate, and he is now back in school. GUN FOE 130 - SPRING NEWS DING-A-LING The annual Ding-A-Ling Duo contest is a 17 year old Mattituck H.S. tradition. It has raised over $45,000 which have been distrib- uted throughout Long Island to needy people, such as the Domini- can Sisters of the Sick and Poor, Little Flower Childrens Services, Cleary School for the Deaf, and service organizations such as the Mattituck Fire Department and Rescue Squad, Community Action for Southold Town, and the North Fork Soccer League. Last year, Mattituck H.S. raised $800 more than the year before. The total last year of $5,130.75 was raised by activities such as roller skating parties for the elementary school, bake sales, car washes. A bizarre method, but the re- sults are tremendous! marathon hockey games, basket- ball games, bike marathons, and pledged runs. The annual Ding-A- Ling Duo Week Dance was high- lighted last year by a break dance contest. Each year the entire Stu- dent Council votes on the distribu- tion of the money collected in the Ding-A-Ling week. Names of orga- nizations are submitted for discus- sion and then the money is divided as fairly as possible. Last year's Ding-A-Ling was won by the Fresh- men. The Ding-A-Ling Duo contest is an enthusiastic and energetic ex- ample of a great tradition at Matti- tuck High School'', said Mrs. Grat- tan, Student Council Advisor.
