Over the course of four years, the students ac- quired much needed knowledge from their teachers and parents which will help them bat- tle the abundant pressures of this world. This knowledge will serve as a sound foundation for their upcoming lives of independence. These graduates have accomplished a great deal dur- ing their high school years, and more will be accomplished by them in the years to come. Methuen High has lost a fine lot of young adults. Don ' t worry, however! METHUEN ' S LOSS IS THE WORLD ' S GAIN! For further information concerning the accomplishments and ambitions of this year ' s graduating class, please examine carefully the pages of this most renowned newspaper, The Ranger Review. F.C. i ■ •- ■ V v L j- 8 Pink slips for teachers video ■ Features There are many things that students are Involved In. Whether It Is powderpuff football, spirit week, or fashion. There are those of us who are lucky enough to be homecoming queen or be chosen to do the morning announcements. Of course, everyone takes exams and is up-to-date with the latest fads. We are all depressed on Monday, over- joyed when Friday arrives, knowing the weekend is ahead of us. The way to overcome the school-day blahs Is love in the morning. There are always those few teachers who do something special for us even though they are under the threat of Prop. 2 Vs. The se are only a few of the features in the Ranger Review. Hope you ' ll enjoy them. M.W. Powderpuff Football This year ' s powderpuff football game ended up with no winners and no losers. The final score was a tie, 8-8. The seniors were coached under Mr. Joe Roblllard, and the underclassmen were coached by Mr. Fran Molesso. Let ' s see a winner next year! J.L. Proposition 2 Vz In an attempt to lower taxes, town and city officials across the state were forced to Implement Proposition Z l z. The basis of this policy was to cut municipal services which in turn would cut government spending and taxes. With high hopes, the taxpayers of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts passed this plan. Unfortunately, every proposal has Its drawbacks. Along with l imiting public services, Proposition ZVz greatly reduced school budgets. Crowded classrooms, permanently closed schools, lost Jobs, scarce supplies, and reductions in courses and extra-curricular activities are some of the ill-effects of the budget cuts today. Although many people have experienced setbacks from Prop. 2- z, students are the true sufferers. Government officials and voters looked to the possible future financial benefits of 2 ' 2, but failed to see its disadvan- tages to the future adults of America. Growing up today is difficult, but without proper aid and education, most kids don ' t have a fighting chance. If we invest money to our children now, we will surely profit from it to the future, for they will make a richer and better America. We mustn ' t always be concerned with the present, but must look ahead to the approaching years. It is necessary, therefore, that the political leaders of Massachusetts re-evaluate this policy so that it will no longer disrupt our academic systems. S.D. Exam . . . ining For most kids, SAT means shock and terror , but actually the letters stand for Scholastic Aptitude Test We all recall our first experience with tto sf Sn we tere forced to roll out of bed at an ungodly hour on a Saturday morning. We had to Co throuih a long process of filling out our name, address, school, etc. The best part was colortna in the dots with a number S pencil. These tests went on for 3 hours. Each student waited in anticipation for the 5 minute break after each hour so that he or she could stand and stretch his legs. There was a sigh of relief when the tests were finally over Then the lone waiting period began. We worried whether our grades were good enough because thev were already being sent to the colleges of our choice. Another grueling time for us students was when the mid-term exams crept ud Some spent hours studying in preparation for the 90 minute tests. These took 4 days They were very important for seniors who were trying to get into colleges. Their entire futures were dependent on the results from these four days. This was not the end of their testing days. College-bound graduates unwittingly set themselves up for more tests, number two pencils, name grids, and early hours as they go on to achieve better education from the higher institutions of America. A student ' s work is never done, or to quote from another source, There ' s no rest for the wicked . P.B. Spirit Week Once a year, Methuen High School students display their school enthusiasm and loyalty during Spirit Week. Many stu- dents have hidden talents with respects to originality. This was obvious on Friday, Costume Day. There were seen such memor- able sights as the deadly Tylenol bottle, the unique Go-Go ' s and an assortment of questionable characters , many of whom were drawn from the ranks of the senior class. Monday was T-shirt Day, and even though we had cold atmospheric conditions inside the school, many students still continued to show their spirit. Next came Western Day, a day in which almost all the participation came from the girls. Besides the cowboys and cowgirls, there was even an Indian or two. Every- one came dressed appropriately for Preppy, Joe, or Hood Day, whether they tried to or not. There were a few interesting role-reversals, but most came dressed as hoods. Thursday was Favorite Pin and Hat Day. This was the calmest day, but there were some peculiar pins with unmentionable sayings. The week came to an end with Blue and White Day, and most students got involved on this day. The powderpuff football game was also planned for this day, but because of the rain, it was postponed a week. The game finally ended in a tie. G.N.

Fashion ' 82- ' 83 The real world in fashion now is looking like you belo ng in your clothes. Today that ' s a snap, because there ' s an unconstructed, uncontrived ease about clothes that lets you look like you. Nothing screams fashion, everything just looks rich, real quality. Textures are beautiful, fabrics are gorgeous — and if it feels good, it looks good. Norma Kamali is one of the proponents of this look who has introduced women to the elegant way of wearing the new geometric designs. Her use of inexpensive materials, such as cotton, tends to look casual as well as classy. Looks receiving rave reviews at Methuen High, as well as throughout the country, are mini-skirts, that are enjoying a revival, leather and tuxedo en- sembles, tailored outfits and Ralph Lauren ' s much acclaimed Polo collection. Accessories are hot items ranging from larger earrings, pins and chokers to wide belts, skinny ties and even bow ties. Any of these can be inter-changed with a variety of outfits. Menswear, as always, remains attractive and uncluttered. The best part about it is now most components can be worn by both sexes. Popular items include suspenders, hats, oversized overcoats and blazers. Leisurewear is seen everywhere at any time of the day. Warm-ups can be functional and stylish at the same time. All in all, fashion has taken a change for the better. Whatever your choice, everything ' s classy and lived-in looking at the same time ... a very comfort- able set-up. N.B. Oh. God It ' s Monday You know it ' s Monday when: Your alarm doesn ' t go off. You don ' t have time to shower. You miss the bus (or your car doesn ' t start). You arrive at school after homeroom (9:10). You have been marked absent. It ' s raining, and you have a fire drill It ' s your last class, and you have an unannounced quiz. You arrive home, drained from your miserable Monday, to find President Reagan interrupting your favorite soap. N.B. L.W. i 1 tft ' 4 I ; . J 1 A fl C Thank God It ' s Friday You know it ' s Friday when: Your alarm goes off. You have time to take a bubble bath. All your teachers decided to postpone your tests until Monday. It ' s sunny, and you have a fire drill. It ' s your last class, and you have another fire drill. You arrive home, excited about its being Friday, to find out that your friends called to tell you that they have tickets to a concert. N.B. L.W. 1 M f m mXrA 1k a yd Weekends Are Made For Students The thought of fun-filled weekends Is often the only thing that helps students survive a grueling school year. As Friday rolls around, and the kids have taken just about all the suffering they can stand, the 1 :45 bell, ringing In the weekend, suddenly revives them. Not a minute is wasted. The weekend offers a student many options. It can be the perfect opportunity to make a few bucks, or one can sit around all weekend recuperating from the last week ' s ordeal and gearing himself up for that of the next week. For others, the weekend signifies the extra time needed to complete a project or term paper. Though some may long for the weekend to arrive for these reasons, the most popular view of the weekend is one of parties, friends, and fun. These are the times which will remain with the high school students for- ever. Movies, athletic events, dances, and parues all be- come happy memories of the times which will become the best of their lives. Weekends seem to have been made with high school students in mind. S.D. 1 rn ml 1 Announcing The everyday ritual occurs at nine o ' clock sharp each morning. All of us are asked to pause for a moment of silence, which is then followed by the saluting of the flag. The seemingly needless announcements wrap up our stay in homeroom. The reason that these announcements seem to have no purpose is because they are barely audible over the din of voices. It seems, however, that it becomes relatively quieter when the list of naughty ones are announced over the PA All guilty ones cringe in their seats, hoping their crimes will go unnoticed and a trip to Mr. Nicholson will not be necessary. Announcements that occasionally occur during a class have one of two effects on each of their listeners. On the one hand, teachers become quite perturbed when their classes are so rudely interrupted; whereas, students are grateful for the diversion from the endless lectures of their teachers. Afternoon announcements are considered to be the high point of a Btudent ' s day. Not onl.y do they inform each and every one of us concerning pertinent Information about scnool life, but they also signify the end of another day at MHS. F.C. 13 Love In The Morning I remember a story that a teacher was telling me about when he went to school. The teachers and students were shocked to see a couple kiss In the halls. They didn ' t know what to make of it. Back then, of course, it wasn ' t proper to do such a thing. There ' s a time and place for everything. At least, there was. Today, teenagers are more open in expressing their feelings to each other. It ' s not so much a shock anymore to see a couple kissing in the halls. It ' s seen as a sign of affection. So when ' s a better time to show affection than in between classes. Times have indeed changed. CA Homecoming ' 82 Carta Alien Sandy Novak Betty Latullppe The Homecoming Queen was crowned on November 6th at Nicholson Stadium during half-time at the Methuen — Central Catholic football game. Chosen was Sandy Novak, attended by Carta Allen and Betty Latullppe, who tied for 1st runner-up. The girls were presented with bouquets by the quad-captatas of the football team and held court at the game which was won by Methuen, ending In a score of 7-6. N.B. 15 Dedication The Class of 1983 has chosen two faculty members for their dedication to both the academic and extra-curricular life of Methuen High School. Their sincerity as teachers and their Interest In the graduates ' goals have helped the students grow into mature young adults. These deeply respected persons have been guiding, consoling, and Inspiring figures to many students who have passed through the doors of Methuen High In recent years. So that the entire class may show its gratitude for the consideration and patience they have shown, we, the editors of the Ranger Review, have been asked to dedicate this edition to Mr. David Whiting and Mrs. Ann Marie Krusell. S.D. ) Help Wanted You ' d be smiling too, if you were holding up a wall. I ' m a Toys R Us kid! Is there such a thing as a librarian ' s pet? Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum.

ADMINISTRATION We would like to express our sincere appreciation to all of the faculty members who have shared an abiding interest in the growth of young people and a willingness to become directly involved in that process. Methuen teachers have been accessible to students in athletic endeavors and extracurricular activities, as well as in academics. We hope that your experiences here have been reward- ing and pleasurable moments for you, and we hope you will have the knowledge that you have contributed something to the Seniors of 1983 and that your work wi ll not be forgotten.

Everyone is able to pick a freshman out of a crowd, even the freshmen themselves. They are not well-known for being nondescript. Methuen High freshmen are the ones who eat anything in the cafeteria because they don ' t know any better. Their lower lips quiver when they are told to report to office detention. At least one incoming freshman asks what floor the swimming pool is on. Freshmen must look up their combinations every time they go to their lockers, and most of them carry twelve books to every class. When Friday arrives, freshmen sigh with relief and the thought that the Methuen Mall is a great place to be . For one year, the seniors are in their glory. The deem themselves far superior to the underclassmen, especially the freshmen. They look upon their freshman year with disbelief, saying they couldn ' t have behaved in such a manner. For most of the seniors however, the tide will turn once again. They will be low men on the totem pole when they enter college. They ' ll eventually move up the ladder again, but before they do, they ' ll be the ones calling attention to themselves with maps, notebooks, and misplaced dorm keys. I hope they enjoy their senior year of high school while they can. S.D. Sophomore Year What can you say about sophomore year? It Is ayear of familiarity and change. The rooms are the same, just as are many of the faces. The teachers are the same, but now there is a class lower on the ladder. You are no longer a measly freshman at the bottom of the ladder. You have moved up a step, a small one, but none-the-less a step towards graduation. Th ere are new classes and new teachers, but still many of the same students as you pass through the halls. It is a year of new activities. Maybe you will become a member of the Honor Society. There is always a sports team you can join, or perhaps there will be a part in the Senate for you, or the role as a class officer. There is always something to do to make the year memorable. The highlight of the sophomore year has to be the receiving of your high school ring. Finally, you have something that says you belong to M.H.S. You put time and care into the choosing of your ring because it will be with you all of your life. You want it to be special and unique. Many different things make up your sophomore year: friends, teachers, studies, sports, clubs, etc. AH these make up your only year as a high school sophomore. The Junior Year The junior year 1b the year when you become an upperclassman, even though you ' re not classified as such in the powderpuff football game. You can now push around the Freshman and Sophomores and gain some respect from the Seniors. Probably the biggest change to occur is when you obtain your driver ' s license. You no longer have to depend on your parents and friends to take you whgre you want to go. Another change that might occur is the moving up from Junior Varsity sports to Varsity sports. This is when it becomes valuable to win, and you finally are awarded the recognition that you feel was long deserved. As the year rolls on, and the Seniors get ready for college, you start to feel more important. Next comes the Junior Prom. It seems as if the whole school is getting ready and talking about the prom, even though it is only the juniors who care. The end of the junioryear marks the time of two important events: the dreaded SAT ' s and the long awaited beach days. For the graduates of Methuen High School, the last four years have brought great changes, not only In their lifestyles, but also in their basic attitudes and their understanding of life itself. Behind a pen, over a book, on the gridiron, or in the field house, these graduates have been drilling for the great maneuver of life. Their high school years prepared them in mind and character to take their places in the outside world. For some, these years may be compared with the changing seasons. Freshman year is analogous with spring because it is a new beginning. When today ' s graduates entered Methuen High, it was merely a strange place full of new faces and new experiences. Through the times spent there, they grew along with it, and Methuen High eventually became a very special place to them. They had found a place to test themselves; intellectually, socially, and emotionally. Sophomore year, a year in which students grow and prosper, is like summer. For this year ' s graduates new faces became lasting friendships and experiences became memo- ries. They had had times they will always remember; those times filled with friends, parties, and challenges. Fall, a season marked by change, may be compared with junior year, which is one of shedding of the old and preparing for the new. Methuen ' s graduates realized their number of carefree days was limited, and they had to make a decision regarding their futures. The senior year, winter, is the completion of the cycle. It is the final act of a long growing and learning process in preparation for life in the real world. As the land sheds its blanket of snow at winter ' s end, so the graduates slipped out of a very important phase of life. They will see a new life before them, just as winter sees the coming of spring, and the cycle begins again. In the following pages of the Ranger Review 1983, you are invited to become ac- quainted with these young graduates of Methuen High School, to share their memo- ries, and to admire their goals. In conclusion, I would like to extend my sincere congratulations to the mem- bers of the Class of 1983 upon the occasion of your graduation. S.D.

Focus W SOUND OFF The students at Methuen High did not go to school Just to learn, read, and do homework, for they had other things on which they could focus . There was even some excitement put Into those monotonous school days. Whether It be a false alarm Interrupting the last period of the day, a dally weather report concerning the atmospheric conditions coming over the PA, or the infamous settlng-of-lockers on Are, there was always something of interest that kept the students aware of what was going on around school. They were even allowed to state their opinions about the school. Some students spent their time running Ranger Report, preparing for such programs as Sports Tuesday and special Interviews. Others kept busy working In the school store under the Distributive Education progrti: Bome took their time to help out with the two BloodmobUes. Some students focused their time on being members of the Marching Band or the senior class play, Cheaper by the D . Many students were also a part of the work study or academic internship programs, v. others were performers for the chorus. As you start to turn the pages of the Focus section, you will see Just what the students of M.H.S. focused on In order to keep themselves busy. Of course, all this would occur after their studies. J.L SENIOR CLASS PLA chTapek ey THE. DozEa Don ' t Worry It ' s Not A Fire! Sitting in class, I wonder when the next one will be, that sudden fire alarm that has become a daily ritual at Methuen High School The once spontaneous reaction to these alarms has changed to one of amusement Here we go again, another alarm! As I gladly start to leave the classroom I wait tor some friends, and we begin our daily stroll around the school There is no confusion outside because we seem to spend almost as much time outside as we do in the classrooms. We wait for the fire trucks to arrive so we can ridicule them for wasting their time answering the alarm During the cold winter months, for some unexplained reason, these fire drills seem to come to an abrupt halt. If and when we do have a winter drill though be sure not to be standing on the path in front of the teachers ' entrance or you will be sure to be caught in the middle of a massive snowball fight. As we wait for the three short blasts of the fire alarm to signal the end of this ten minute vacation , we cheerfully say to our friends, See you at the next fire drill , and slowly begin to file into school and wait for the announcement on the intercom to tell us to what period we are to report. G.N. .This school has rotten color coordination, fake windows, and no air. but i t ' s been fun. If the students thought more about school and less about what catego- ry they fit under, then this would be a more pleasant place to be. Our bus drivers shouldn ' t let kids smoke on the bus.

After twelve SOUND OFF years, everyone needs a rest. Our high school years are the best and maybe the most important years of our lives, so don ' t blow it. The best four years of my life. The open concept of our classrooms is definitely not advantageous to learning, you can ' t hear yourself think, all the teachers are teaching at the same time. Windows could provide fresh air in the school, instead of the thick, over-used air in here. It seems like only yesterday that friends this school has brought us. we arrived at this huge dwelling that Thank you Methuen High, for thes e we now know as our second home.

These are the famous words of the cast and crew of Ranger Report , Methi High School ' s own student-run telecast, aired every Wednesday night on Cable 27. The program started in 1980 with the talents of Dan Bishop, then a sophomore at Methuen High School, Patt Moser, specialist and faculty advisor from the media center. Since then the show has grown and gained pop as well as cast members. The cast now includes Dan Bishop, anchorman, Al Daneau, David Habeeb, J( Makus, Bill Robert, and Steve Sanderson. They also have a new advisor — Ken Hoffman. These people pi tremendous amount of time into the program. They come up with all of the story ideas, do all of interviewing, and edit all of the stories. In effect, they do all of the work. In the past, the Ranger Report crew has come up with such stories as: interviews with David Toma, Will Whistle, Charles Laquidara from WBCN, and Ted O ' Brien from Channel 7. They have covered sen such as Ranger Spirit week, the Senior Class Play, and other school functions. They also cover all of the games for Sports Tuesday. They haven ' t won any Emmies yet, but I ' m sure that if they keep up the spectacular work, the Nielsans surely notice. ...

It has gone from a small group of twelve to the full, resounding sound of today ' s chorus. The chorus has also branched out the past two years into two more small groups, the Ar- rangers and the Harmonettes . The Arrangers are a group of talented students who enjoy singing and dancing. This swinging choir made its debut in the first annual M.H.S. variety show performing the number Walk On Down . They ' re a talented group with a lot of enthusiasm for performing. The Harmonettes is another small group in the performing arts department. This is a barbershop trio which performs old classics with a three-part harmony barbershop flare. They delight their audiences with their me- lodic sound. These small groups may not be appreciated in M.H.S., but look out Hollywood, here they come! KM.

The time is 1 130 when this batlallion of students march voluntarily to their battlefields of the surrounding areas. These battlefields are their places of employment or education. It is byjolnlng academic internship, headed by General Salmonsohn, or by signing up for work-study (General Murphy), that these students have the right to further their future plans. Many students become envious, and, some even Jealous, of these lonely soldiers of fortune, but through determination, they fight this sea of insults in order to observe a profession or receive hands on training. Through the leadership of General Salmonsohn, the academic internship program, bat. 01589, sends students on Into places of interest in order to observe and experience the reality of each profession. Through the comradery of General Murphy, bat. 01588, the work-study program helps interested students leave school and experience the rigors of life. It is through this sight of reality that the Academic Internship and Work-Study programs thrive. Each participant can be proud and hold his head high as ' he states, It ' s not just a Job, it ' s an advent . S.B. j J jfBAON Apires ' ' jarqwBo toy 9 ' uostcm uare { gf ' pisui.

One snowy, windy December day high school students found themselves prepar- ing for early dismissal because of unfavorable atmospheric condi- tions , In other words, It was 80° Inside the school. A stranger to the school might suggest opening a few windows in order to cool the school, but one must remember that M.H.S. has windows which do not open. Yet, the next day It seemed as If we were undergoing energy conserva- tion since the heat didn ' t seem to be on. Engineers were called in who set about using their fancy tools to inform us that there was something wrong with the air In the school. This was a conclusion which came as no surprise. Something which did come as a surprise, though was when, for some unexplainable reason, the water system broke and again students prepared for early dismissal. After months of this Intolerable weather, most students survived the sometimes unbear- able conditions with only minor discomforts such as headaches, blood- shot eyes, and an occasional case of the chills. To be or not to be comfortable remains an interesting question. G.N.  The Inside Story o 4?% Who would have ever guessed that there could be so many of these stalking creatures under one roof? Their long, slender bodies of red and yellow, along with the repeatedly forgotten combinations, are a constant part of the student life. Lockers are like mouths, opening and closing con- tinuously, some overflowing with knowledge, some Just full of garbage. Lockers of knowledge are the ones filled with books. Then there are the lockers with the essen- tials : Jackets, hats, gym attire, and writing utensils. Representing the individual owner are the stickers of hobbies, rock groups, teams, rainbows, and of course, love. Magnets, notes, graffiti (both inside and c . add Interesting detail.

It Is not possible to Imagine this building without its lockers. How empty it would be . . . what If they could talk? C.P. It Makes Cents The Distributive Education Club of America is a student-centered organization which promotes leadership and personal development. This program enables students to go out and find good jobs on their own. Through their jobs they learn how to make decisions and become more responsible. During the school day, these students are encouraged to work in the school store, and it is here that they learn marketing skills such as advertising, display and sales techniques. This experience prepares the students for competition. This competition is conducted on the regional, state, and national level giving the Distributive Education student the opportunity to travel around the nation and meet new people in the fields of marketing and distribution. Yearly, scholarships are given out by Mr. Pilat, the Distributive Education advisor, to Distributive Education students to further their education. L.S. It Takes All Types In November and May, the senior class held its biennial blood donor drives. Blood was donated by students and faculty alike, and the number of people who turned out for these events reflects how successful this year ' s drives were. Sixty- four pints were collected in November, and seventy- six in May. The donation center, the field house, was open from early morning to mid-afternoon, but those responsible for organizing the drive worked many more hours than scheduled. Much of this credit must be extended to Senior class volunteers, who were noticeably present the entire day waiting on and assisting donors. Some first time donors were a little squeamish, but most people overcame their initial fear and the entire day went off without a hitch. Once again, for the success of the blood drive, a special thanks is extended to the donors, volunteers, senior class members, and Mr. David Whiting, senior class advisor. S.D.

Fitness isn ' t just tennis and team sports anymore. Getting physical entails much more than these. It takes all kinds from aerobics and nautilus to weightlifting and jogging. Aerobics has become a very popular form of exercise. Thanks to Jane Fonda ' s and Richard Simmon ' s workout albums and diet books plus Jane ' s workout center and Richard ' s television program, everyone has gotten into the act. Thanks also goes to Diana Ross for her aerobics album, which include her hit singles Muscles and Work Your Body . Men and women are building up in their basic sports gear, that includes such items as sweats, T-shirts, tanks, head- bands, leg warmers and sneakers and are jazzing them up with whites and slick accessories. We ' ll call it a form of Jock-Chic , if you will. My conclusion: Exercise is one of the biggest energy boos- ters around. It gives you a sense of discipline and self- confidence. As I said, exercise is energy and energy is a state of body and a state of mind. N.B.

St. Patrick ' s Day St. Patrick ' s Day is an Irish holiday. But, is it just for the Irish? Most certainly not! On that particular day of the year, everybody Is Irish. This was quite evident in the high school on St. Patrick ' s Day, 1983. Many students made a conscious attempt at wearing a green outfit, even to the extent of purchasing green carnations and wearing green hats. Even some of the teachers got into the act. They also wore the Irish green and possessed the lively spirit of the Irish. All in all, St. Patrick ' s Day, 1983 proved to be a well-supported holiday. Sports  _.„. p 7 nppoid.

The team was led by captains Rob Mulse and Scott Slomba. The Senior class was represented by Mike Barry, Rick Rousseau, Mike Bolduc, Chucky Lima and Dave Karam. Servin ' It Up The 1982 Methuen High School Girl ' s Volleyball Team was both gratifying and at the same time frus- trating. The team began Its 14-4 record with a come from behind victory which snapped defending state champion Chelmsford forty match winning streak. In addition, the Rangers were able to defeat eventual league champion Billerica In both regular season matches. The frustration was supplied by a much Improved Dracut team and single losses to Tewk- sbury and our second match loss to Chelmsford. The season did provide its rewards with a second place finish and a state tournament berth which resulted in a first round loss. Two players, Alicia Collopy and Julie Leonard, were selected to the first team of the Coaches All-League All-Stars. In addition, Monica Baker was named to the second team and Michelle Jozokos was given Honorable Mention. Other Senior members were Mary Ann Mistal, Lisa Desehamp and Roberta Ros- marino. In all, a successful season was produced by a lot of hard work and dedication. Making a Splash Hip, Hip, Hooray! The Champions The football team provided the students I and community with a fantastic 9-0-1 sea- son. Methuen defeated Lowell 14-12 under the lights at Lowell in what was considered one of the finest football games ever witnes- sed In this area. Several players who made the All-League and Eagle-Tribune Ail-Star Team Included Tom Lallberty, Ertck Kuchar, John Motta, Mike O ' Connell, Scott Bleczinskl, Dave Collzzl, Jim Mellor, Barry Tardugno, and Mike Shlpulskl. Tim Getchell was selected to the Boston Globe All-Scholastic Team as a linebacker. The seniors were in- volved In thirty-four wins, two ties, and four losses. They were defeated by less than one touchdown In all games lost. The seniors won two M.V.C. titles and missed the third by a single point — a fitting end to a great career. The Road Runners mfm Pill ■ • L Vfli 4 The Boys Varsity Cross Country team had an in- teresting season because it ' s the first time in 10 years that the boys had a losing record of 4-6. The team was led by Captain Jim Donahue, who was undefeated in dual meets, and was elected to the Boston Globe AU- Seholastlc All Star Team. He also qualified f : i Junior Olympic TAG National Champlonsh. the fourth year in a row, and won the Catholic Memo- rial Invitational Meet, Division 2, in a record winning time, and finally broke the Methuen home : record with a time of 13:19.5 Other senior runners included Tim Vermette, Tony Quaglietta, Paul Bergeron, Tom Vermette and Mike Hlllard Next year looks promising with three time M.V.C. all-star Chris Cameron returning. On The Road Again The 1982 Girls Cross Country season was not as suc- cessful as it has been In the past. Part of the reason for the team ' s 4-4 record In the M.V.C. was due to the fact the league has become much more balanced than in the past. The team was ably led by Senior Co-captalns Ellen Gray and Christine Dlzogllo. Individually Christ- ine had a fine year being defeated only three times In dual meets, placing 6th in the Dlv. I State Meet and qualifying for National ' s In the TAC. Junior Olympic competition. Christine was also chosen as an M.V.C. All Star for the third year in a row. Take Down The 1982-83 wrestling team moved a few steps closer to the top of Massachusetts wrestling by finishing 6th (out of 18 school the Division I North Sectional Tournament and 13th in the Divi- sion 1 State Tournament. Both of these tournament placings were the best yet for a Methuen wrestling team. In all, six wrestlers qualified for the state tournament Co-capt. Mike Bolduc placed 6th at 107 lbs. David Kraunelis was 4th at 114 lbs. Mark Jozokos was 6th at 187 lbs. Eric Boes (100 lbs), Dan McCarthy (121 lbs.), and John Saba (169 lbs. ) competed at the states but didn ' t place. In dual meets the wrestlers led by Mike Bolduc and fellow co-capt. Brian Boes were 9-5. The 5 losses were to teams who all finished in the top 5 in their state tournaments. With 9 out of 12 starters returning the outlook continues to look bright for Methuen High wrestling. Taking It To The Hoop o-m , t aw The Ranger Varsity Basketball team, under new head coach Bucky Tardiff, had a very productive year despite its 5- 1 3 record. Leading the team were co-captains Chris Morse and Mike O ' Connell and seniors Doug Rademacher, Bruce Ratcliffe, John Perreault, Gary Poulin, and Dave SkeUy. J ¥ A flic Dribbling Dowr the Court All Split Up The Girls Gymnastics team mushed the season with a 3-3 league record for 4th place in the M. V.C., and an overall record of 5-6. Senior co-captalns Cheryl Sprague (all around) and Sandy Novak had outstanding seasons, and performed well in the league meet. Freshmen Kelly Marceau and Lauren Pothler competed like experienced veterans. Sophomores Darlene LaPlante and Liz Perrault each had a great year. We look forward to future seasons, but we ' l l miss our seniors. Hanging in There =fi The Boys Gymnastic team finished up with a 4 and 2 record, second place In the North Shore Gymnastic league and 7th place In the State. League Individual Champions were Steve Bissonette; 2nd in the AH Around, 6th on side horse, 3rd on parallel bars, 1 st on vaulting and 5th on rings. Andy Vermette placed 2nd on the rings and parallel bars. In the State Individuals, Andy Vermette placed 5th on rings and 10th on parallel bars and Steve Bissonette placed 8th on vaulting. These two boys are the first from Methuen to ever place in the Finals. The seniors on the team included Jimmy Lorenzo, John Palumbo, Steve Bissonette, and Jamie Comerford. Ill Breaking the Ice T he young Methuen High hockey team finished Its season with a 6-8-5 record. The team was led by captains John Motta and Chucky Lima. Other seniors on the team Included John Bradley, Mike Marcoux, Bob Donald, Scott Slomba, and Brian Letourneau — all of which demonstrated a very good attitude throughout the season. It ' s All Downhill From Here This year ' s Methuen High School ski team was led by senior captain Tom Reagan and junior cap- tains Kris Topham, Rob Brown, and Erin Com- erford. Included in the nearly forty competitors were seniors Doug Brandin, David Riel, Laura San- tosuosso, and Kim Avery. Coaching the boys and girls teams were Mr. Norm Comeau and Mrs. Ma- rion Girardi. Thanks to these fine coaches, the team had many fine performances at Bradford Ski Area. A Clean Sweep This year ' s Boys Indoor track team was one of Methuen ' s finest teams ever. This extremely successful season saw memorable victories at the Methuen Invitational, M.V.C. League Meet, Northern Area Meet and State Class B Meet. Along with these laurels was the undefeated dual meet season and thus the dual meet championship. The team had the State Class B relay championship In the shot-put: Dave Collzzl, Tom Laliberty, and Rob Marggraf — and the shuttle hurdles: Dan Martin, Scott Bleczinskl, Mike Barry, and Jeff Baker. New school records were made by Mike Barry and Dan Martin in the highjump, Dan Martin and Jeff Baker in the hurdles, and Jim Donahue in the two mile. The two mile relay, Jim Donahue, Chris Cameron, Mike Hillard and Tim Vermette, also set a new field house record. Other seniors who shall be missed are Paul Bergeron, Allen Firth, Fred Habib, Fred Iannuceilll, Tony Quaglietta and Mike Shipulskl. This season is one that shall be remembered in the years to come. S.B. Runners Take Your Mark P The girls winter track season ended In a surprising 5-2 record, with surprise victories over many competitive teams. Thanks to five great seniors — Monica Baker, Colleen Blec- zinskl, Ellen Murdock, Chris Dizoglio, and Roberta Rosemarino. C.B. Hit or Miss The Varsity Softball Team finished the season at 10-5. Senior members in- cluded Sandy Novak, Dawn Vincinguer- ra, Joann L ' ltalien, Karen Toto and Jo Palmisano. Jo Palmisano made the con- ference Ail-Star team and was nomin- ated for the Boston Globe All-Scholastic team. Sandy Novak and Theresa Pad- vaskas made honorable mention for the conference All-Stars. C.B. Teed Off The 1 983 golf season record ended at 3-9. The team was young and inexperienced, therefore, the season would have to be consi- dered a rebuilding year because of the loss of four, three year letter winners. This year gave the young players a chance to gain valuable experience. Next year looks quite optimistic, and with hard work, the young players will develop into fine golfers. The team roster consisted of seniors Keith Gagnon, Joe Flsichelli, and Mike Mar- coux. Other team members included Peter Filocamo, Jeff Gerardi, Mark Zraket, Ken Hewson, Peter Nicolosi, Sal Piazza, and Dave Richardson. Making a Hit ' F fr (fr A 1 ' It was a very frustrating season for the varsity baseball team, since eight of the ten league losses could have gone either way. Six of those losses were by one ran. Even though it was a tough season, the team ' s spirit continued through the end Mike Shipulski and Rob Muise were the co-captains of the team, with Mike Shipulski being voted to the All-Conference team. i w I t i: i i f 15 v V fy r iiyiiii matmam Clearing All Hurdles ( J%£ lilillU The girls track team finished the 1983 spring sea- son with a 4-5 record. The season was disappointing and rewarding at the same time; disappointing be- cause of the effect a rash of injuries had on the outcome of the season and rewarding because of the great individual efforts made by the girls and their never quit attitude. This team was led by the greatest group of seniors the team has ever had. Zr esr ' l a .-.8 Running To Victory Matchpoint UiSTiH The 1983 boy ' s tennis team finished the season with a 5-13 record, placing sixth In the ten team Merrimack Valley Confer- ence. Despite thl6 rather disappointing record, there were a num- ber of significant achievements. Glen Grlllo, a junior, was the most consistent player on the team. Glen finished with a 15-1 record during league play, and advanced to the North Sectional Semi-finals In the State Individual Tournament. Glen was rec- ognized for his outstanding play by his selection to the confer- ence All Star team. Senior Peter Sergl also complied an impressive record of 12-4 at first singles and advanced through three rounds during the state tournament. Game . . . Set . . . Match The girl ' s tennis team experienced another successful season with a 13-7 record. Senior captain Maryann Mistal had an out- standing record at second singles with many exciting three set matches. Senior doubles players Cheryl Sprague, Alicia Collopy, and Lisa Sheafer had many tough matches, but played great for the Rangers. Good luck next year, Mary! -x . mtm Sports Night iiil ' j Athletes of M.H.S. gather three times ayear to be honored at the season ' s Sports Banquet.

Do they like trying their hands at computers or spending time writing articles and taking pictures? Some are interested in making it on Broadway, so they are perfecting their singing, dancing, and acting skills. One can practice becoming a politician or a musician or even a television anchorman. Many spend time at work while others voice their complaints to the School Committee. A few organizations were established to reward the student who succeeds scholastically. The high school even offers organized bowling and skating clubs. Explore the Social Scene section of the Ranger Review and see how the student body of M.H.S. is spending its time.

We, as editors of Ranger Review, found It necessary to write this article in order to enlighten fellow graduates on the work necessary to create a yearbook. One may think that the yearbook staff simply dove into its endeavors without any knowledge or experience. This is far from the fact! A representative few attended seminars in order to learn the tricks of the trade . They, along with their advisor, Mrs. Krusell, and Mr. Garon, a representative from Hunter Publishing Company, taught the remainder of the staff those needed procedures. Much time and energy went into our learning the essentials, but like everything, experience was needed. A newspaper format was selected by the staff. It was then time to begin the main part of the book. Many hours were spent in order to complete the book. It was extremely difficult because we all did not have a study together. There were many problems that did arise during the course of the year. Students complained that we were showing favoritism in our choice of pictures. Also, we had numerous problems with photography. Arrival of pictures never seemed to be on time. To top it all off, we were kicked out of the teacher ' s room where our desk was located. We did not have any access to the typewriters. There were many other problems which are too numerous to mention. Despite the many problems, the year was successful. Hopefully, our finished product, the ' 83 yearbook, is evidence of this.

It is true that to become a member, one must possess a high aca- demic average, but one must also have strength in character, service, and lead- ership. National Honor Society mem- bers perform many different services ranging from tutoring students to hold- ing bake sales during mid-terms and finals. The National Honor Society is an organization that rewards the well- rounded student, but a member is re- quired to spend many hours helping fel- low students. G.N.

It all actually started junior year with the semi-formal at DiBurro ' s. We all had anxiously awaited our own first prom. The activities of our senior year started off with the Foreign Language Department ' s inductions of the Spanish and French Honor Society. Students then were given a chance to reveal their talents at Methuen ' s first annual variety show. During the various vacations during the school year, many went off to seaside resorts and to some of the beautiful countries of Europe. The Dance Company also held its annual successful show at the high school. Many students were then awarded for their scholastic achievement in each subject at Awards Night. Approximately seventy students were also recognized for their high academics at the Honors Banquet. The school year was finally over, and everyone celebrated at the senior prom held at the Sheraton Rolling .Green Inn. On June 5, 1 983, it was officially over. It was graduation day, and classmates shed a few tears and shared a few hugs, sadly saying good-bye. Take a look at the Lifestyle section and be reminded of how the life at Methuen High actually was.

Nursery School Most students at Methuen High School are not aware that there Is a nursery school In their high school. They are not aware, also, that the nursery school has been in existance since the establishment of this school, eight years ago. The nursery school is for Methuen residents only, and its six week session begins in March. The children are usually three or four years of age. The school is taught by Ms. Benner-Hall. In addition, Mrs. Swider is teaching the class for the first time this year. Juniors and Seniors are able to sign up for the Child Developement class which is run in conjunction with the nursery school. This course helps the students consider a career with children and also helps them learn and explore parenthood. It is unfortunate that enrollment in the class has been predominantly from the ranks of the girls at M.H.S. In the eight year history of the school, only about twenty boys have signed up. The nursery- school helps students learn the creative play of children and learn about kids. They also learn about the children themselves. They learn about the creative process of childhood and how this processing can result in the production of something such as coloring, or cutting out pictures. Most importantly, a student in the Child Developement course learns about herself, and learns from her experiences with these young children. P.D. Travel Notes Where can your paradise be found? Several groups of Methuen High School students set out this April vacation to frolic, meet new people, and relax. Some decided to go to Europe. Ms. Anne Marie Florilla and her travel companions visited Switzerland, Prance, Germany, and Belgium. Ms. Florilla did not heed her own warnings. She had her passport stolen, and her students were forced to smuggle her into Switzer- land. The group had a great time at all the discos! Ms. Carol Dufresne went to France and Switzer- land. They all had a wild time. Because her wallet was missing, Lisa Deschamp learned how to survive on $5 a day. Mrs. Leonie Longshore ' s group spent 7 days (and nights!) sunning, shopping, and sightseeing in Ber- muda. Among the most memorable sights were the huge coconut trees, the long, hot beaches, and the numerous bottles of solarcaine! A group of seniors, chaperoned by Mrs. Ann Marie Krusell, Mrs. Stott and Mrs. Gagnon took a 5 day trip to Virginia Beach. Also, the band went to Florida to participate in the Disneyland parade. Between com- petitions, they visited Epcot and Mickey. The International Club spent a weekend in New York, where they visited the U.N. and saw many exciting sights. MM. ' L.V ■: ;:. . . . And That ' s The Way It Was — 1983! On Class Day, seniors were able to have a last good-natured laugh at themselves through the readings of the History, Will, and Prophecy. The memories of their beginnings were jarred with the reading of the History by Sandra Novak and George Nasser. Students laughed at the assortment of gifts bestowed upon the faculty and fellow classmates as Dina Savastano and Michael Shipulski read the Will, and they eryoyed imagining themselves and friends holding the outrageous positions described by Tom Laliberty and Mike O ' Connell as they read the Prophecy. Lori Macleod was the Class Day speaker, and class officers in attendance were Nancy Bakios, Erick Kuchar, Thomas Laliberty, and David Colizzi. The highlight of the day was the presentation of a diploma to Arthur Nicholson, making him an honorary member of the class of 19 83. S.D. 157 The Night of the Stars Students who had excelled In particular subjects and activities dur- ing their years at Methuen High were honored at the Senior Awards Night on Tuesday, May 31st. Several of the awards received at this affair were the Joyce Minzner Memorial Trophy, the Dartmouth Book Award, the Semper-Fidelis Award, and the DAE Award. Mr. David Whiting, senior class advisor, assisted in the presentation of awards, and a reception in the upper lobby followed. S.D. The Royal Feast On Thursday evening, June 2, 1983, seniors who had achieved honors status were gathered in recognition of their academic excel- lence. Dr. Paul Zdanowicz, superintendent of Methuen public schools, was the master of ceremonies, and Father O ' Connor of St. Monica ' s Church delivered the invocation and benediction. After din- ner and an address by Dr. William Hogan, President of the University of Lowell, gold tassles and certificates of merit were awarded by Kenneth Dolloff, Arthur Nicholson III, Gregory L ' Heureux, and David Whiting. S.D. A Night To Remember After hours of preparation, the seniors of Methuen High School gathered for the biggest celebration of their senior year — the senior prom. Glamorous gowns and formal tuxedoes were the attire for t end-of-the-year occasion, held at the Sheraton Rolling Green ] Andover. Sleek, black limosenes transported many of tho attending this gala event. Many others arrived anxiously on ihsti own. Following the meal, the party continued with dancing of an kinds, including such novelties as the hokey-pckey. A g: : z time was had by all, and a celebration to long be remembered. Onward Upward Standing in front of the main entrance or at the bus loop, we would playfully wave good-bye to our friends, never dreaming of the day to come when we would have to wave good-bye in earnest. Would we ever have to salute them for a last time? Of course not. We had only just begun. But inevitably that day and the end has come. Graduation Day is upon us. That future we used to dread so anxiously is now ours to mold. We gaze through the door to the future; a future that is rich in promise. As we prepare to pass through this door, we bid fond farewell to teachers and old friends and say hello to new experiences. Adieu to all who have made a memorable past, and welcome to a bright future. S.D. jrr .jrcir The Year in Review. 1 1 9 5 nJI Nineteen hundred and eighty-two was a year teeming with history- making From Poland, where Solidarity made a desperate last attempt against gov- repression, to Lebanon, where the PLO was forcefully evacuated by the Isr year was host to many momentous global happenings. From Central America to Southwest Asia, war was the headlining story of 1 1 They ranged from guerrilla skirmishes to full-scale battles at sea In El S; thousands died at the hands of those committed to putting an end to a colonial territory. In early June, five hundred Israeli tanks moved into Leb expel the inhabitating PLO guerillas. The war between Iran and Iraq entered year in September. And so it went. By the end of 1982, eighteen countries had war, and an estimated 125,000 people had lost their lives. Nevertheless, nineteen eighty- two consisted of much more than war parap 1 . and bloodshed. After a twelve-year campaign for ratification, the Equal Rights Am- mendment was defeated. In New York City, 700,000 anti-nuke activists staged the largest political demonstration in U.S. history. Twelve million people wer- ployed. E.T. was on its way to becoming the greatest blockbuster of all time. In ' Square Garden, 2,075 couples were married by the Reverend Sun Myung Ma Unification Church, and a long-awaited monument to honor Vietnam veterans was erected in Washington to the delight of thousands. The graduates remember 1982 as a year in which world and American his ' made, but they also remember 1982 as a year which marked a special time in the history of their lives. Nineteen eighty-two was the beginning of their senic: high school. It paved the way for 1983, the year of their graduation and a time o ' transition in their lives. There is no doubt that future world events will influence their lives. Some of the graduates may even be responsible for shaping these events. Class History We the class of 1 983 entered Methuen High School, in the year 1979, eagerly awaiting the many challenges which lay ahead. With homeroom before first period and not knowing thai we could return to our lockers at the end of each class, we aimlessly wandered through the halls becoming easy targets for upperclassmen ridicule because of the stack of books in our arms. Soon realizing that the science department was not on the third floor, we were leary about what to expect in our future years at the high school. Ready to take on the challenge of leading our freshman class were Josephine Palmisano — President, Mary Wajda — Vice-President, Nancy Bakios — Secretary, and Robyn Pappaiardo — Treasurer. The six student senate members included Nancy Moore, Cindy Shaheen, Lisa Deschamp, Joy Davis, Lauran Mariano, and Joyce Paris. The freshman sports teams which formed the foundation of our future athletic program exemplified potential and promise for our upcoming varsity seasons. The freshman football team completed a highly successful season with a record of 9 wins losses and 1 tie. Memorable players carrying the team were Frank Giarruso, Brian Welch, Mitch Kamal, Dave Smith, Dave Riel, Glen Gearin, Al Firth, Ray Hollins and Sean Nartiff. Also holding up to the winning tradition, almost, was the freshman soccer team which compiled a 2-7-3 record. Superstars included Brian Letourneau, Mark Lyons, and Tony Quaglietta. Cheering us on to victory were Linda Mcintosh, Sue Boynes, Jennifer Phelps, Nancy Tardif, Tricia Bergeron, Allison Bagdoian, Sue Bourcher, Mary Boucher, Lisa Grasso, Carin Allen, Chris Abraham, and Debbie Dumont who were members of our star cheering squad. Our weekends proved to be exciting with a wild night escaping up and down the pathways of the Methuen Mall. Sophomore class officer elections held at the end of the freshman year resulted in Dina Savastano-President, Mary Wajda -- Vice-President, Nancy Bak - Secretary, and Josephine Palmisano — Treasurer. The six freshman senators were all voted in for another year. With one year of experience behind us, we were no longer the targets of ridicule. Our newly gained authority was used to some advantage. Some of us proved to be successful while others weren ' t so lucky. Some of the infamous names falling into this category and heard daily over the PA were Joe Lima, Cory Bannister, Renee Couture, Lisa Giordano, Art Lopresti, Eileen McKone, and Cheryl Cebula. Two of the most memorable moments in our sophomore year included the two well attended fights. John Motta and Dave Morin provided Mrs. Van Horn ' s homeroom with front row seats to the premier battle of the year when they came crashing through the blackboards. Also trying to get into the action were Chuck Fitzpatrick and James Pinto. One team proved to be successful with another undefeated season. Dropping from a 20 member squad to an 8 member squad was the JV Basketball team which took over the tradition of the freshman soccer team with a record of 9-12. Members of the team included Gary Poulin, Pat Lannan, and Bill Kenny. Other notable participants in the athletic department were Robin Ciarcia, April Mello, Robin Stevenson, Kathy Whiteside, Sue Chretian, Jim White v Gina Hadley, Lee Ramos, Scott Lister, Tom Battaglia, and Mark Das. At the end of the sophomore year, the prestigious class rings arrived but, unfortunately, not all buyers received them. This was because some unprestigious people borrowed some of the rings, permanently. At the closing of the school year was the traditional Honor Society Induction of 21 students. With thoughts concerning our junior year we held our elections which resulted in Mary Wajda — President, Dina Savastano — Vice-President, Nancy Bakios — Secretary, and Josephine Palmisano — Treadurer. The senators were Nancy Moore, Cindy Shaheen., Colleen Bleczmski, Peggy Donovan, Jill Stackelin, and Carolyn Pugh. Our promotion to junior year brought about new responsibilities with thoughts focused on our. future careers. However, some of us were not as serious as others and this was noticeable because of the continual repetition of certain names heard over the intercom requesting them to report to the office during a designated period. These familiar names were Lynn Baillargeron, Pam Becotte, Diane Tremblay, Rhonda Fitzmaurice, Gina Luchesi, and Doug Brandin. The 1980-81 interscholastic athletic program was honored for the third consecutive year by winning the Earnest B. Dalton trophy for program excellence. Some examples of the outstanding performance included the boys and girls cross country team with combined record of 16-1. Excellent performances were 166  turned in by Jim Donahue, Mike Hillard, Chris DiZoglio, and Ellen Gray. Jamie Comerford, John Palumbo, Steve Bissonette, and Jimmy Lorenzo led the boys ' gymnastics team to a notable 7-2 record. Our future girls ' swim team captains, Lisa Morin and Doreen O ' Donahue, ended the season with a winning record. Although they were not the most publicized sports teams, the golf team and girls ' tennis team proved to be the most noteworthy. A season 12-0 record gave the golf team with members Joe Fisichelli, Mike Marcoux, and Peter Tine the only undefeated spring sport record. Lsoing only one match and winning 15 was the girls ' tennis team, with such outstanding members as MaryAnn Mistal and Maribeth Lemoine. Academically, our junior year was very important with visits to college fairs and the taking of the dreaded SA.T. ' s. This year the honor society inducted 20 members. Three of the officers were Lori MacLeod, JoAnn L ' ltalien, and Jennifer Phelps. During our April vacation, many of us attended a glamourous dance otherwise known as the junior semi-formal. Unlike other school dances this one went to 12:00 but one would never know this since the place was cleared by 10:00. As the school year came to an end, the candidates for Boys and Girls State were chosen. They consisted of Scott Bleczinski, Paul Bergeron, George Nasser, Doug Rademacher, Tony Quaglietta, Dan Bishop, Mike Reidl, Maura Fitzgerald, Lori Melvin, and Lisa Shaefer. Our junior year produced two memorable occurences — the never ceasing fire alarms and for many the long awaited driver ' s license. Our Final class election came in May of the junior year, resulting in one of the biggest political battles Methuen High School has ever seen. After much publicity, controversy, campaigning, debating, voting, and re-voting, it finally resulted in Tom Laliberty — President, Dave Colizzi — Vice-President, Nancy Bakios — Secretary, and Erick Kuchar — Treasurer. The 6 class senators were Cindy Shaheen, George Nasser, Lisa Scarelli, Carolyn Pugh, Lori Williamson, and Jody Danella. Another unusual election occurred when for the first time in Methuen ' s history there was a tie between Carin Men and Betty-Ann Latulippe, the attendents who were accompanying the Homecoming Queen, Sandy Novak. What more can be said about the accomplishments of the Methuen High School football team? The team included John Motta, Tim Getchell, Jim Mellor, and Erick Kuchar. They finished their season with a 9-0- 1 record. The track team also with a victorious overall season record of 15-1 included Mike O ' Connell, Dave Colizzi, Mike Shipulski, Dan Martin, Tom Laliberty, and Scott Bleczinski. They were not only outstanding track stars, but also the foundation of the football team. In other sports, memorable athletes included Sue Wante and Colleen Cox for field hockey, Alicia Collopy and Michelle Jozokos for volleyball, Monica Baker, Colleen Bleczinski, Roberta Rosemarino, and Ellen Murdock for track, Cheryl Sprague and Sandy Novak for gymnastics, Brian Boes and Mike Bolduc for wrestling, and Dawn Vinciguerra and Josephine Palmisano for softball. All these worthy athletes were at one time members of the first or second All-Star Team. A battle entitled Laliberty vs. Yearbook Staff with the student senate as the catalysts threw much controversy into the senior class. Time seemed to fly by as we filled out applications and anxiously awaited to hear from colleges and job possibilities. The next thing we knew the senior class play was upon us. Cheaper By The Dozen produced such fine actors as Doug Rademacher, Karen Mahoney, Sandy Cruickshank, Lisa Deschamp, John Perrault, Sue Blodgett, John Sciacca, Lori Williamson, Kelly Ross, Billy You-re So Right Kenny, and Tom I ' m not getting any help at all Laliberty. After years of hard work the Methuen High School Band had such talented musicians as Sue Caredeo, Beth Curtis, Sean Devine, Mike Farley, Lisa Hartnett, Fred Iannuccilli, Maria Moan, Chris Smith, and Kenny Waites. As a reward the band was honored by travelling to Florida to play in the Disneyworld Parade. Our senior prom occured on an unusually nice Saturday towards the end of May. With no unusual occurences, the prom proved to be a highly enjoyable event which will never be forgotten. And that ' s the way it was in the year nineteen hundred and eighty-three.

The students attract friends with calls. Besides the clatter of the voices, Firebells ring without cause. All go out while firemen come. For this, there should be laws. There are other things which distract. Voices and bells aren ' t all. Announcements come in the middle class. These are a bother to all. Methuen High is a very strange place. It ' s not without its kinks. Many things are hard U Most of all to think.
