Yearbook Staff of 1970 Mechanicville High School Mechanicville, New York Presents Halfmoon Volume 35 2 Customarily, the entity known as a yearbook is dedicated to an individual within a school or community whose achievements are felt to be worthy of recognition. We of the Halfmoon staff of 1970 have chosen to deviate from this practice, by dedicating our efforts instead to a cause that is felt by all of us. Unless all the people of the world choose to cooperate with each other, the efforts of any one man will be meaningless. For this reason, we dedicate Halfmoon '70 to the cause of world peace, in hope that the people will work together to try to attain that goal for the first time in history. Perhaps the members of the present gener- ation will be the ones to find a way.

The 165 bewildered freshmen who roamed the maze of corridors on that day comprised what would be the first class to com- plete the entire four years of high school in the new building. We of the Class of 1970 were those freshmen, years have passed since then, and today we are tired old seniors, no longer frightened by the prospect of being lost in the endless hallways. As seniors, we will be confronted by many novel experiences to replace the early ones. We have prepared this yearbook so that they might be shared with others. Members of the Board of Education are (seated L to R ) Leila Holmes, v. president; Dr. Howard Welker, superintendent; Geraldine Harvey, president; (standing) George Downs Jr., Arnold Reed, John Phelps, and Frank DeLorenao. Mr. Joseph Zurio was absent when the picture was taken. Board of Education To the average student, the Board of Education seems like a behind the scenes function of education. The members of the Board are often not known by name, but the things they accomplish for the student cannot go unrecognized. They spend many hours per month working on the problems of the school system. They also take the brunt of the blame when something goes wrong. We the class of 1970, therefore, wish to express our sincere appreciation for their understanding and dedication. 4 Dr. Howard Welker, superintendent Bradford Fancy, assistant superintendent Administration While Dr. Welker and Mr. Fancy have been with us for two years, this is Mr. Raven s first year in Mech- anicville, in addition to being his first experience as a principal. We trust this has been a happy year for Mr. Raven, for we believe he has made a great start in this new career. As his first graduating class, we thank him for his cooperation and wish him success in his new calling. 5 William Raven, principal William Hughes, Counselor Guidance Where would any of us be without our able guid- ance department? The help of our two counselors is indispensable to all of us who must arrange schedules, take aptitude or scholarship tests, apply for colleges or jobs, or to those who simply need a sympathetic listener. Mr. Hughes is the counselor for the freshman and half of the sophomores and juniors, while Mr. Murphy is in charge of the remaining underclassmen and the seniors. Mrs. Judy Callanan, their secretary, helps to keep the hectic business of the guidance de- partment running smoothly. 6 Leo Murphy, Counselor Roberta Feldman, librarian Pacricia Cana van, library aide Care Grabcr, secretary Alice Spain, secretary 7 More Special Helpers Cafeteria staff: (1. tor.)

Football players and cheerleaders encouraged silence throughout most of the day by col- lecting fines from anyone caught speaking in the halls. In the afternoon, a pep rally was held in the gym to as- sure the team members of our support and to spur them on to victory over our rival. 14 Parents’ Night The parents of M.H.S. students were given a chance to relive their own school days on Parents' Night, which fell this year on November 13. In addition to reg- ular open house activities, our visitors were able to witness choir and band re- hearsals and demonstrations of physical education skills staged by students. As usual, refreshments were served in the cafeteria, and service club members acted as guides for bewildered parents. 15 Jk Ice Carnival” One of the highlights of the year was the winter fashion show and dance held at the Assumption Parish Hall on the sixteenth of November, for the benefit of the senior class. Cathy Urkevich served as com- mentator for the senior models, who wore outfits loaned by area stores. Seniors also comprised the re- freshments, decorating, advertising, and ticket com- mittees. The evening was proclaimed a success by all involved. 16 The twenty-seven members of Aristoi cook pare in che traditional candle light procession to begin the ceremonies. Aristoi member Ann Sheno received her pin from Ron Acerra, president of the Student Council. v. Members of the National Honor Society presented at the induction cere- monies were (I. to r.) A. Shcmo, T. Normandin, J. Vo!pe, D. Leggett, J. Laurcnzo, C. Urkcvich, O. Gagliardi, and D. Dicerce. Induction Ceremonies Mechanicville High's three honor societies conducted their induction ceremonies this year on the tenth of February. After speeches about the history of the National Honor So- ciety and the qualities of an honor student— namely, scholarship, leadership,character, and service-pins were awarded to members of Omega, the sophomore honor society, Alpha, the junior honor society, and Aristoi, the se- nior honor society, as well as to the members of the Aristoi chapter of the National Honor Society. Later, refreshments were served to members, along with their families and friends. After the ceremonies, Aristoi members and their parents relaxed in the Home Economics room. . . . . . while members of Alpha and Omega had their own reception in the cafeteria. 17 Odds and If you don't believe me, look it up for yourself, Joe Pickett! 18 Will the Great Mazzini defeat Monster Marty?

To be able to be caught up in the world of thought-that is to be educated. Mastery of one's na- tive tongue is a vital accomplishment as a stepping stone to economic, political, social, and self-aware- ness. In his English courses of study, the student ex- plores the workings of his own language, American, English, and foreign literature, while learning to better express him self in the written and spoken word. 22 Mrs. Hilda Conroy English 3, 4 Mrs. Conroy’s class knows the answer to her question. Discussions groups arc common in Mr. Whitbeck's English classes. 23 Mrs. Tashjian helps her individual students as often as she can. History Karl Hickey World History 10 Mrs. Doris Hills American History 11, 12 African Seminar Gary DiLallo American History 9, 12 World Geography J. Devito knows the answer, but what was Miss Foy's question? 24 Mr. Snyder hopes his class is discussing World History. Delivery room for the birth of ideas—a place where his- tory comes to life. A knowledge of world history, geography, American his- tory, economics, and politics is vital for anyone, no matter what branch of life he enters. Social Studies is the common denominator of an education. The better one understands its elements, the better educated he is and the better equipped he will be. It is necessary to learn about one’s neighbors for there can be no world peace unless its ar- rangements consider the hopes and wishes of all nations and all peoples who must live by them. 25 Mr. DiLallo's 2nd period American History class enjoy them- selves? Mathematics Mathematics takes us into the region of absolute neces- sity, to which not only the actual world, but every possible world, must conform. For four thousand years people have been collecting and arranging the necessary mental tools for counting and mea- suring. Even now, new approaches, new ideas, and new techniques are appearing in mathematics. Students must be awake to these new ways so that they can be up-to-date in their knowledge. It looks as if Algebra comes easy in Mrs. Peterson's 2nd period class. John Legasse Math 10 Roger Bombardier General Math, Math 12x Math 11 Mrs. Diane Peterson Algebra, General Math Richard Gaughan Math 11, Intermediate Algebra Math 12 is obviously putting P.

This Trig class is too busy concentrating on the Law of Cosines to smile at the camera. 27 Mr. Legasse has undivided attention in his Math 10 class. Science Donald Slate Biology William Rozen Physics; Physical Science Anthony Cocozzo General Science; Health A watched pot never boils, says H. Connors to K. Cammerota and J. Brown in Physical Science Class. In universities, laboratories, and hospitals, men and women explore the mysteries of the complex universe within and without the human frame. Our science de- partment, comprised of general science, general biology, physical science, health, chemistry, and physics, pre- pares those who wish to become one of these men or women. It also contributes to completing the necessary education of a prosperous individual. It attempts to im- prove his faculties so that he may find the answer to what makes the world tick and what holds it together.

Biology keeps her going. 29 Language Mrs. Jane Marie DeLucia French 1 Mrs. Delucia answers a question asked by her French I students. Perhaps of all the creation of man, language is the most astonishing. As nations and their people become more and more dependent upon one another, the need for commu- nication between them is the cardinal force behind our language programs. Languages make the student well-rounded and supply him with a sound founda- tion for further education. Spanish II appears interesting to these girls. The Spanish students are too busy listening to Miss Hebert to turn around and look at the camera. Gregg Connors doesn't seem to be listening to Miss Hebert's explanations.

Administration aims at ensuring 'efficient' be- havior on the part of its members. No business is bigger than the indispensable staples of its smooth operation. These clerks, secretaries, man- agers, and others will come from efficient business departments such as ours—from shorthand, typing, office practice, secretarial practice, bookkeeping, in- troduction to business, business law, business math, and retailing which will prepare them for this highly competitive world. They will become proficient in their field and will be adequately equipped to con- tend in the outside world. No profit, all debit in Mr. Prosser's 2nd period Bookkeeping class. Mr. Muth demonstrates the correct manner of writing checks to his Introduction to Business class. S. DiNisio and R. Clements type some letters under the watchful eye of Miss Zahodnick. There's no time for monkey business in Secretarial Practice! 33 MUSIC Henri Gibeau Jazz Band, Reeds, Band Miss Ruth Shiebler Band Robert Luedtke Chorus, Theory, Music Appreciation Band and Chorus Music is the most worthy, courteous, pleasant, joy- ous, and lovely of all knowledge; it acts upon men’s feelings. It encourages us to bear the heaviest of af- flictions, administers consolation in every difficulty, refreshes the broken spirit, removes headache, and cures crossness and melancholy. Be he in chorus, band, individual lessons, theory, general music, or in music appreciation, the student cannot avoid becoming a more well-rounded person for having studied music. 35 Kathi Patenaude Jim Minick Mrs. Joyce Decker Basic Art, Advanced Design, Advanced Art, Art Appreciation Art Art is sufficient unto itself. Art is no longer brush upon canvas or chisel upon stone. Today art is alive with neon lights or electronic patterns or welded metal. The modern artist must have a knowledge of physics, math, and electronics in addition to his inborn creativity in order to keep up with, as well as set, new' trends. The study of an- cient and modern arts through studio art, advanced design, or art appreciation, opens the door to the cul- ture of a people, inspires the student to add to his own culture, and helps him to explore himself in the process.

A study of new as well as old techniques of mechan- ics, ceramics, electronics, general wood, me- chanical drawing, or radio is necessary for the practical student wishing to become a productive citizen.

Lefko: And I also can make it bounce.” Not that you won or lost, but how you played the game and A healthy body and a healthy mind go hand in hand may be trite. They are true, none the less. It is a rough world for the man or woman who cannot keep pace with it because he or she is not physically fit. They considered prowess in the arts of speed and endurance as evidence of maturity and they held their athletic sports in reverence as well as with enthu- siasm.” Can you make it across the pool again? M. Mitchell shows his agility on the parallel bars. I know it’s down there somewhere, W. Callanan is thinking. Look at me. I’m flying, says Bob Jones to his fine-feathered friends. Home Economics Miss Phyllis Gardinier Home Economics 1, 2, 5, 10. Homemaking, like many other daily actions, has been vastly underrated. It is each individual home which makes up each street, city, state, and nation. The welfare of all depends upon the support of each separate household of each community. The science of home economics concerns itself with not only nourishment and clothing, but also with the social, economic, and cultural phases of so- ciety. The widening scope of this field has created myriad professional careers. The student of it im- proves his common sense, sense of responsibility, and understanding of himself. 42 C. Adamson learns how to cut material properly, one of the fundamentals taught. 3. Miss Gardinier helps P. Russell with her pattern in Home Ec. J. Zurlo finds time to mend a dress. This is how my mother does iri L. Caputo tells P. Russell. These girls gain some pointers on making sleeves. Learning to cook is one way for these girls to prepare for their careers as future homemakers. 43 Student Council Officers Seated: Sue MurpheT lcc-president; Ron Acerra, president; Kathleen Fraser, secretary.

Student Council The Stqdent Council is the governing body of Mechanic- ville High School. It is organized to promise school spirit, to assist in the management of school activities, and to pro- vide an open forum for student expression concerning school affairs. Class representatives to the Student Council are respon- sible for keeping each homeroom informed about activi- ties. 'They are also responsible for the supervision of indi- Student Council Alternates Alternates, P. Steves, M. Picarelli, C. Fascia, R. Camorata, B. Poselvich, A. Luciano, P. Cenci, C. Sullivan, J.

Nancy Butler, Theresa Normandin, Monica Henchy For three years, the staff of Halfmoon 70 has worked dili- gently to prepare a pictoral history of their high school years. Members of the staff contributed their time and services to raise money, collect pictures, and write articles about school activities. Finally, in our senior year, under the guidance of Mr. Whitbeck, we prepared the pages for publication. It is our hope that the entire student body will enjoy this year- book as much as we have enjoyed working on it. Halfmoon 72 Staff P. Canavan, A. D'Aloia, O. D Amico, D. D’Alberco.

Red Raiders Tie For Even though they lost their opener against Lansing- burgh, the Red Raiders of M.H.S. drove on to sweep the Council ending the Council schedule with a 5-1-1 record, the only other blemish being a 0-0 tie with Ballston. The final game saw the Raiders defend their longtime rivals, Saratoga, for 6-1-1 over-all. In recognition of their outstanding performance, six M.H.S. grid-men were named to the Colonial Council team: (offense) Pat Sgambati, Sam Izzo, Don Daley, and Don Medina; (defense) Mike Kerls, and Ron Acerra. 70 Heading for a clear field, Sammy breaks a Ravena tackle.

By the morning of Monday, June 22, the graduating class of 1970 will have become history. By then, most of us will be leaving the sheltered world of Mechanicville for colleges, jobs, or the service of our country, or to marry and raise families. We will have left our mark on Mechanicville High School, however, and the school and all the people we have met within its walls will unquestionably have left a distinguishable mark on all of us. We are grateful to all of our teachers, who have been so much a part of our lives dur- ing the past four years. Special thanks must be extended to a few of them. Mr. Raven, in his first year at M.H.S., has helped to make our last year here a memorable one. Going through high school would certainly have been impossible without our special friend, Mr. Murphy, to smooth the way. Of course, we cannot leave Mechanicville without thanking Mr. Whitbeck, who pushed so hard to make Halfmoon '70 a reality. There is no more meaningful way to express our gratitude than to say, ' Thank you all—for everything. 120
