The seventh and eighth grades moved up to the high school building increasing both the student and faculty enroll- ment. New windows and doors were installed and the swimming pool look on a whole new “look.’ Scheduling, student body numbers, and renovations caused some confusion, but eventually everything worked out well. The “big move” turned out to be a good decision. Pictured at right: Frederick Fink. Nancy Izz.o, Mark Seber. Kira Rocs. Doris Hills, and Dorothy Carroll, missing is Thomas Richard- son.

Academics 19 Computers and art: arc they as transcendent as they seem to be? Art deals with the creative and ideological and produces an object formed by the creative hand. Computers take the creativity and ideology of art and combines them with the mathematical to produce an object typed into a computer and formed on a screen. ART VS. COMPUTERS AT MHS To err is human. To really foul things up requires a compu, MIDTERM MADNESS We all have different classes and are challenged to different levels of learning ability, and yet we all have one major common problem: exams. We also have different ways of studying. As you can see. “cramming' just minutes before an exam may be the most popular method, and hopefully for these people, the most successful. Academics 21 B.O.C.E.S. stands for the Board of Cooperative Educational Services. Created in 1948, it offers educational opportunities to area students. It's main objective is to provide an occupational education featuring “hands on experience in a specific field. Courses arc designed to provide entry level employment skills. However, this is not necessarily the end of their education. B.O.C.E.S. students arc not only able to get a good job. but they will also be able to continue their education if they choose. All credits earned may be applied towards completion of requirements for graduation. As a result, greater educational offerings, various number of services and low costs prove that B.O.C.E.S. can be an extremely beneficial aspect of high school education. B.O.C.E.S PLUMBING AND HEATING Students enrolled in this two-year program develop the skills necessary to assemble and repair pipe fix- tures and drainage systems according to plumbing code specifications. Students also learn to install sheet metal and trouble shoot all systems. Careers available with a plumbing and heating background include contractors, fucl-oil dealers, maintenance workers and a plumber's or pipefitter's helper. Some students go on to technical school, apprentice pro- grams or even the military.

Jim Lanzone Auto Mechanics II Steve FarneII Auto Mechanics II Keith Erno Auto Mechanics I Ken Moll Mark DePaul Auto Mechanics I Auto Mechanics I Russell Benedict Auto Mechanics I Academics 23 METS Mcts is a program designed for students who are unsure of the occupational field they would like to enter. It provides a balanced combination of many different programs. After a year in the Mcts course a student should be able to decide on a specific pro- gram. This is the first year that this program has been offered. It should be quite helpful.

THROUGH A RAIDERS’ EYES 40 Half Moon 1985 We were in the fourth quarter with only two minutes left in the game and ahead by a mere six points when our starting quarterback Mike DiFucci fell to a knee injury. The tension and anger were building every second as we watched Mike being elevated into the ambulance on that hot Saturday afternoon in early fall. While we huddled, I sensed a feeling of hatefulness and an intense will to win. Little did we know then that it was to be the hardest and most painful two minutes we had ever played together in any football game in our lives. The fans were going wild, screaming for revenge as we marched up to the line of scrimmage. I can remember, it was a thirty-seven rip, one of our “bread and butter” plays that guaranteed us a First down all the time. We needed first down in order to sit on the ball and run down the clock. As I was taking in my stance. I could hear the spectators on each side yelling. The sweat was trickling down my face onto my face mask, then to the ground. It seemed like time slowed to a complete stop and I didn’t hear anything. When I saw the ball snapped, 1 fired out of my stance, grabbed the ball and ran as hard as I could, hitting, bouncing, and tripping over people. I gained more yards on that play then I ever thought I could. As I conjured up enough strength to pick myself up off the dry green turf, I thought about the long, hard days of preparation: weight lifting in the off season and pre-season practice up at Raquette Lake in the Adiron- dack Mountains. We were isolated for a whole week, and all we thought about was football. We would start at seven-fifteen, right after breakfast, with calisthenics until lunch at twelve o'clock conditioning and running plays. We continued with the same kind of work after lunch and ended with a cool bath in the lake around four. Five o’clock dinner we shared with three other teams from the Syracuse area. It was a long, grueling week, and we hated every minute of it. Now I could see that it was worth the effort, for I had the strength and determination to keep going. To me, making the first down was extremely rewarding because we were able to sit back and watch our fans going crazy; jumping up and down. The other team just wanted to curl up and die as the last few seconds of the clock ticked away. The Hoosic Falls Team are excellent sportsmen; they shook our hands, wished us luck, and went their own way without any childish remarks. The bus ride home was very noisy compared with the ride to the game. Guys were telling all of their war stories of the day’s events, and the atmosphere was full of accomplishment and the spirit of VICTORY!!! It was one day that all of us on the team will not forget.

With a solid front line and a lot of determination the Boys Varsity Basketball Team had one of it s finest seasons ever. Finishing second in the highly competitive Colonial Council, the Raiders recorded a 12-4 league record and an 18-6 overall record. Under third year head Coach George Dudas, the Raiders were in the hunt for the Council title all year. Leading the way for the Raiders was the one-two punch of Mike Pugliese and Brian Saunders, Brian aver- aged I6pts. per game while Mike averaged I5pts. per game. Also Brian scored lOOOpts. in his high school basketball career being only the third man to do so. F.d McBride handled the rebounding and led the team in recoveries. Jerry Hmura was the primary shooter from the outside while playing point guard. Co-Captain Joe DeChiro played opposite of Hmura and led the team on assists. Dan Pickett did a fine job coming off the bench for the Raiders along with Ed Krajewski who started in seven games. Mike DeVito, possessing one of the finest outside shots, filled in on the off-guard position. While Mike Mungcr and Mike Toma, both juniors, helped the Raiders at the forward positions. The Raiders reached the climax in local high school basketball by playing at the Glens Falls Civic Center. The team defeated Hoosic Falls. Coblcskill. and number one seeded Spa Catholic to reach the finals in Class CC. The Red Raiders J.V. Team also had a fine season. The team cap- tured the Colonial Council Title while recording a 16-4 record under Coach Robert Young.

The Raiders had a league record of 4-3-1. In the past four years the Raiders have cap- tured the Council Title, but due to key inju- ries, this year, they managed only fourth. Injuries to Captain Dave Mastropietro. Matt Coreno and Chris Izzo played a major role. The Raiders also finished fourth in both the Burnt Hills and Mcchanicville Tournament, second in the Fonda Tournament, and fourth in the class C Sectionals. Making the Colonial Council All-Star Team were Walt Dingman (98 lbs). Eric Marx (105 lbs), and Chris Izzo (126 lbs). 47 Team Spirit in Action The Girls Varsity Basketball Team, coached by Ed Ostcr- hout. finished the season with a record of 6-12. Senior Diane LaVigna. was an aggressive guard whose de- fense brought about more than her share of turnovers. Diane Palmer, also a senior, had to end her season early because of a knee injury, but while she played she was one of the leading scorers, and a creditable defensive player. Chellc Conerty, a junior, played in the guard position. With an average of 5 points per game. Chelle occasionally jumped center. Jamy DeChiro, a junior, was an exceptional forward who combined a superior range and expert moves. This made Jamy a serious threat to the opposing teams. Junior Danillc Jose was an aggressive ccntcr forward whose strong defensive play resulted in numerous blocked shots and much needed rebounds. Donna Mastropictro, another junior, played as a forward. She has a talent for keeping the offense in motion and could be counted on for foul shots and steals. Carolyn Sgambati, also a junior, was a guard with a penetrating ability which often resulted in foul shots or field goals. Sophomore Bonnie McBride, a guard, was a successful shoot- er and could make something happen both offensively and de- fensively. Dawn Dicckmann, also a sophomore, lead our team in points. Dawn averaged 10.2 points per game. She also proved to be an asset defensively. The outlook for next year promises to be very good. The team will only be losing two seniors, the players remaining have the experience necessary for a winning team. The Girls J.V. Team, coached by John Nichols ended their season with a 4-14 record. Although the team did not have an exceptional season, it has been a worthwhile experience for many girls who will be returning next year.

For this sport, unlike most, there arc no massive crowds of fans, just the sound of cchocing footsteps, a bond of friendship and a vague ideal called “team spirit.” Our 1984 Girls Track Team, although small in number, had many significant individual achievements. In the Colo- nial Council Championships, sophomore Ann Ahern earned a first place trophy in the shot put; freshman Annie Volpe ranked second in the 100 meter dash; and senior Chauntellc Alkinburgh came in third in the 400 meter run. Since many of the team members are young, we can anticipate that this early experience will bring future success.

Sports 55 ACTIVITIES AND CLUBS On May II. 1984. many students and even some facul- ty members attended the Prom of '84 held at Canfield Casino. Upon arriving, we were served a variety of hors d'oeuvres followed by a roast beef dinner. Then the danc- ing began. The Prom concluded with the crowning of the king and queen, and then the theme song, “We’ve Got Tonight”. After the prom many students went to Bowlcro Lancs for bowling and dancing, and then to Hillcrest Fire Department for breakfast. 60 Half Moon 1985 Activities and Clubs 61 Field Day is held annually at M.H.S.

We’ve prepared chocolate mousse and French chocolates after school. The French Club also went horseback riding at Thundering Herds. Our winter activities included a joyful hay ride and going cross-country skiing. Certainly the highlight of the winter was our annual Christmas party, which included trimming the tree, singing the French versions of many Christmas carols, and eating the food we prepared. We raised our funds by selling candy bars and con- ducting a snack bar during the Basketball season. Because of our many activities, the French Club has had an exciting and produc- tive year.

The people involved in the publication of this book gave freely of their time and put forth much effort in the hopes that our book will become a best-seller among the students and faculty members of MHS. Activities and Clubs 77 For four days in the Summer of 1984, Shannon Connors. Diane LaVigna. Kathleen MeDonald. and Maureen Root attended an intensive yearbook workshop at the Initersit) of Rochester for editors, business managers and photographers. Sponsored by Ra- mark-Yarden Studios, the workshop was designed to introduce practical and innovative methods of publishing a yearbook. It was a great learning experience for us; as well as a lot of fun. We were kept busy not only with classes and lectures, but also attended various evening activities, including a mixer, a concert, and a magic show. Overall, it was an exciting, exhausting four days; it was time well spent, and we feel it was a major factor in aiding the publication of our book.

Looking back, we can recall many events that make those years memorable. As freshmen, we were anxious, excited and even a little afraid of what our high school years would bring. Throughout those years we have enjoyed many pep rallies, bonfires, class day dances, field day events and class picnics. Who can forget attending the prom, writing term papers, cramming for countless exams and the relief that summer vacation would bring'' Remember building our winning home- coming float, the Big Red Machine, as juniors, taking first place in the spirit competition as seniors and our class field trips to New York. Hyde Park and Boston? These parts of our past fit together now: the people we've met. places we've been, and plans we all made. As they’ve helped us to change, they've become factors in our future. September 1984 until June 1985 was a time of many changes: not only have we ourselves changed, but our school, our community, our country and the world have changed too. Some of these changes could affect us for the rest of our lives. Although we all have differ- ent images in our minds when we reflect on our high school years, the “public events during our senior year arc a part of our history and should not be forgotten. This year the population of our student body increased immensely with the arrival of the seventh and eighth grades. Outside the crowded hallways of MHS. the world contin- ued to revolve as politics, sports and entertain- ment made headlines. Our economic growth spread an overall feeling of prosperity throughout the nation. Unemployment, inflation and interest rates were finally on the decline. Geraldine Ferraro became first woman candidate tapped by a majority party for the vice-presidency. Mon- dale and Ferraro made a valiant effort and did well in the debates, but President Reagan swept the country with the biggest political truimph recorded. However, the Democrats incorporated two forces into American poli- tics that could change it forever: women and blacks. Our own Governcr Mario M. Cuomo made his national debut as the keynote speak- er at the Democratic Convention. He touched the hearts of many Americans who see him as a presidential hopeful in '88. The Presidential election served as a focal point of interest for Americans, but other events also attracted our attention. Although our Marines withdrew from Lebanon, terror- ism still shook the world. El Salvadorian presi- dent Jose Napolcan Duarte continued his reign of terrorism. India's long-time Prime Minister Indira Gandhi died from an assas- sin's bullet, leaving idle Rajiv Gandhi to re- place his mother. A gas leak at Union Carbide in Bhopal. India, killed over 2,500 innocent people. The widespread famine in Ethopia continued as the number of deaths increased. It's estimated that well over six million pover- ty-stricken F.thopians have died due to the tragic lack of food, water and medical care. The 1984 Summer Olympics was the high- light of the sports world, bringing truimphs and tribulations to our American athletes. Held in Los Angeles. California, the Summer Games showed the world what American en- ergy and optimism could do. Even though the Russian athletes did not attend, a record 2.5 billion television viewers looked on. Mary Lou Rctton.Carl Lewis and Niskayuna’s Jeff Blat- nick were among the many American athletes to take home gold medals. The highly ac- claimed Mary Decker took a fall during the 3000 meter run, destroying her chances for the gold. She was voted sore loser of 84 because she put the blame on Britian's barefoot Zola Budd. Aside from the Olympics, the most ex- citing moment in sports was when Boston Col- lege's Doug Flutic made a long pass to wide receiver Gerard Phelan. With just two seconds left in the game. B.C. pulled ahead to win it. 47-45. This led Flutic. everyone’s favorite quarterback, to the Heisman Trophy and a handsome contract with the New Jersey Gen- erals. In pro-ball, the San Francisco 49 ers defeated the Miami Dolphins to gain the Su- per Bowl XIX Title. Baseball's Detroit Tigers roared their way to the top. winning the World Series against the San Diego Padres. On the homefront, our Varsity Football Team romped over Draper to gain the Northern Ad- irondack Championship Title. They then went on to defeat Whitehall, winning the Super Bowl. Our Girls’ Varsity Soccer Team estab- lished themselves as Colonial Council Champs as did the MHS Golf Team. The entertainment world brought such movie favorites as Purple Rain. The Karate Kid, The Breakfast Club and Beverly Hills Cop. Television proved to have a significant impact on American society. Everyone was prompted by a Wendy's commercial to ask. “Where's the beer? Some of us stayed glued to our sets to watch Cheers. Family Ties. The Cosby Show, and of course. MTV. While oth- ers developed an addition to Trivial Pursuit, as they spent countless hours pondering various subjects. It was mcgabucks for Michael Jack- son and his brothers’ Victory Tour, but by the year's end. musical interests shifted to others: of the special people and events that were a part of our senior year so that the memories we have shared will not fade away. I am very proud of the work that has been done. My experience has been unique, educational and demanding, but very worthwhile. I hope that you enjoy this book as much as I have enjoyed the past several months in its preparation. I would like to thank everyone who has aid- ed in the production of this book. First, my family who somehow understood during my many crises, the late hours and the limes spent away from home neglecting my responsibil- ities there. Thank you Half Moon '85 Staff! You seemed to give of yourselves without ask- ing for anything in return except for the expe- rience itself. Your dedication was appreciated and will not be forgotten. Thank you Dave Lombard, our Jostcn-Amcrican Representa- tive. Mr. Lombard was able to give us expert advise to solve our most difficult problems. Phyllis Smith and the staff of Ramark-Varden Studios helped to provide the core of our book: its pictures. Mr. Prosser and faculty, special thanks for your patience on our many photo session days. Finally. Mr. Gibcau. I don't quite know how to thank you. It’s difficult to de- scribe your unlimited efforts and your rare way of seeing that everything gets done. Thank you so much for your wisdom, guidance and friendship. When I came across this quote by Theodore Roosevelt I thought of all of you. I feel that it pertains to our troublesome times when we were tired and out of sorts. I hope that someday it will help you as much as you all have helped me. “It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena: whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood: who strives valiantly: who errs and comes short again and again . . who know the great enthu- siams, the great devotions and spends himself in a worthy cause: who, at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achcivcmcnt: and who. at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while EDITOR’S COMMENTS Madonna. Prince. Phil Collins and Bruce Springsteen. We looked on as an infant, affectionately known as Baby Fac. underwent a controversial heart transplant. After receiving a baboon's heart, the infant was given a few precious weeks of life. W illiam Schrocdcr and Murray Haydon received mechanical hearts, further expanding the horizons of medical science. These events and people will always serve as a reminder of our final year at MHS. Perhaps the mention of them will help to trigger a part of our past, at some future date. Personally, this has been a busy year for me. Being Editor-in-Chief of Half Moon 85 be- came my way of life. Our goal was to record all daring greatly so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know nei- ther victory nor defeat. My Regards. ohuYjcaO Activities and Clubs 79 UNDERCLASSMEN This year the seventh grade class went on a field trip to “Five Rivers . The students studied conservation, pond and forest life.
