After many hours of arguments and headaches, a decision was made to base the book on music and songs. We decided to do this not because it was 3:3Q on a Friday afternoon and we all wanted to get home, but because we realized that we had to choose a theme that appealed to everyone in the class. Let ' s face it, everyone likes music. Whether it be heavy metal or easy listening, we all expose ourselves to music everyday. We listen to it on the way to school, in our cars, and while doing homework (sometimes) after school. A big portion of our weekly paychecks goes toward new albums or cassettes, not to mention T-shirts, pins, and concert tickets. It is this mutual interest that brings us together not only as a class, but as a generation and that will provide us with memories that we will keep for many years to come. After all, that is what a yearbook is supposed to do, bring back memories. The 1 98 yearbook staff feels that we have accomplished this purpose; we only hope you do too. Hot Blooded Foreigner On two days this year, the courageous, brave souls of Methuen High School came out of the woodwork and appeared in the field house to participate in the bloodmobiles sponsored by the Senior Class. Upon entering the field house, one could see many queer expressions and could hear the whispering of questions such as: What am I doing here? and Is this going to hurt? being asked among many students. Apparently though, the students have decided that they were supposed to be there, for in the first bloodmobile alone, over 75 pints of blood were collected. Besides giving blood, there were many other tasks to be done and many seniors helped out in this class activity. Some helped by taking temperatures, others by carrying pints of blood, and still others by talking to people while it was their turn to give blood. D.F. Sing, Sing A Song The Methuen High School Chorus is open to all singers with approval of the instructor. They sing choral music from all periods and styles in 3, A, and 5 part harmony. They perform in concerts at the schoo and in the community. Once a year they participate in the production of a Broadway Show. T. P. % I Kool and the Gang Every yean at Methuen High School, a week is set aside for the students and faculty to show their pride and enthusiasm for their school. On Monday it was Toga Day and on Tuesday Hats and Sunglasses appeared on almost every head around. On Wednesday it was Prep, Jock and Hood Day and many people switched identities in order to show their spirit. Originality was displayed on Thursday which was Costume Day when everything from a harem girl to a cloaked skeleton appeared. Finally, on Friday, everyone showed up in ' BLUE and WHITE to cheer for the powder puff players in that annual event. We ' ve got SPIRIT! OS We Are The Champions Queen The outcome of the annual Powder Puff Football Game was a victory for the Seniors with a final score of B-O. The Seniors were coached by Mr. Stephen Sudol and Ms. Susan Marin. The Juniors were coached by Mr. Joseph Robilland. This year ' s cheerleaders were the best yet with a special appearance by TimolGOOD LUCK NEXT YEAR!! C.S. Working for the Weekend Lovenboy Everyone ' s watching to see what you can do. Everyone ' s looking at you. Everyone ' s wondering, will you come out tonight? Everyone ' s trying to get it right. Day after day, work-study students scatter to the many different jobs. These jobs give them on the jobs training and experience for the real world. They train day after day so that when it is time for them to face the world, they will be ready. The training prepares them for the problems of real life, and the challenges. The incentive for all of this usually is enjoyment, the kind that we all look forward to after a week of hard work. Everybody ' s working for the weekend. B.L. Pressure Billy Joel «:-:: ' The SAT ' s are given on Saturday mornings in the late fall and the late spring. On these mornings, college-bound students enter the building like students on Death Row heading for their last meals before execution. These tests make even the most confident students nervous. There are six tests divided into English and Math. These tests must be finished within limited time periods. One of the hardest parts of the test is filling out the personal information section. A student who can figure out the hardest math problems often has trouble remembering his or her own date of birth. The Seniors feel the most pressure during the test given during the fall of their senior year. This is the last time that they can bring their scores up to meet college requirements. When the tests are over, everyone heads for McDonalds, Burger King or the Mall. After the fall test, lunch is usually followed by the football game. Almost everyone admits that the hardest part of the SAT ' s is waiting for your scores to arrive in the mail! M.B. 1 Come Together Beatles The annual teacher reception was held on November 23, 1 9B3. The food was prepared by the Student Senate, including salads, cold cuts and baked goods. This coming together of the faculty is an event looked forward to by all participants. i Come On Feel The IMoize Quiet Riot The Methuen High School Marching Band, which consists of 1 02 students and is directed by Mr. David Isadone, is most famous for performing at football games. Although the band gains its fame at these games, it also competed in four competitions this year. The awards received during these competitions included one first place, two third places, and a fourteenth rating in the state competition, along with top color guard, percussion, music, and drum major awards. L. B. Puttin on the Ritz Taco A few members of the senior class were caught puttin ' on the ritz at a local fashion show. The select group modeled wedding and prom tuxedos for Mr. Tux. The show was put on at several places including the Andover Country Club, the Salem Inn, and Mr. Kay ' s in Haverhill. Participating in this exclusive event were: Stephen Walsh, Mike DiPalermo, David Picarillo, Brett Ruhmann, Shae Baddoun, and Tom Kelley. K.S. 12 ! ? T siK:i.L 9 i ? Wasteland The Who Everyday at 2:00, Methuen High ' s eighth period class begins. Approximately 75 students are greeted by Mr. Noiseux for one of the school ' s most popular classes . . . detention. Although detention is supposed to be a punishment, for some it is a great opportunity to catch up on gossip or plan the upcoming weekend. K.W. The annual Homecoming Game was played on a cold, blustery day, November 1 2, 1 9B3 against Haverhill. The big bold blue and white Rangers came out on top by a score of 1 9 to O. Before the start of the game, the three finalists for the 1 984 Homecoming Queen contest were escorted onto the field by Senior Class President Dave Picarillo and Senior Class Vice-President Tony Ramy. Last year ' s Homecoming Queen, Sandy Novak, was present to crown the 1 984 winner. Crowned as the 1 984 Homecoming Queen was Ellen Endyke, attended by Lori Leahy and Kelly Siggens. D.F. Teach Your Children Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young Education is an important element i n the struggle for human rights, it is the means to help our children and people rediscover their identity and thereby increase self-respect. Education is our passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to the people who prepare for it today. — New York Academy of Sciences Annual year — 1 371 , vol. 1 B4, pg — 260 Leader of the Band Dan Fogelberg Each year the tasks and duties of the administration seem to grow larger, and each yean they always are able to handle this workload. The Cooperative participation displayed here is directed towards having the school run smoothly. This could be related to the conducting of a musical symphony, and if this were to be the case, then the administration here at Methuen High is truly the Leader of the Band.

V This One ' s For You Through the Years in this vast Methuen High School, there has been a dedicated faculty member who has been willing to serve the students of this school as a friend as well as a confidant. This person has always been willing to listen to our problems, complaints, and criticisms, and has always tried to help us deal with them. His advice is considered, by many, to be the best around, and he is respected by faculty as well as students. It is with great pleasure that we, the Class of 1 984, dedicate our Yearbook to a former yearbook member himself — our man in tan pants — Mr. Nick. D.F. Barry Manilow Only once in a lifetime will one come across a person as devoted and as important as this special man that we, the Class of 1 98-4, dedicate our Yearbook to. This man has been the Heart and Soul of the majority of the activities of our class. He has volunteered so much of his valuable time to the well-being of the students and has been responsible for broadcasting many athletic, as well as academic events, and also for starting the DECA program. His dedication to the school has given him the respect of faculty as well as students, and his smile will always be remembered. We would sincerely like to show our appreciation and give our best wishes to Mr. Pilat in appreciation of everything he has done for us. D.F. The Class of 1 984 would like to thank these two men for all the dedicator and determination they have given our class. Without their encourage ment, our four years at Methuen High wouldn ' t have been as rewarding oi ; as successful as they were. Thanks Mr. Nick and Mr. Pilat, on behalf o the entire Class of 8-4 . I Guess That ' s Why They Call It The Blues Freshman year can only be summed up in the title song by Elton John. The first year at Methuen High for many students is an adjustment period. Freshmen have to adjust to open classrooms, the layout of the building, the six day schedule, and being on the bottom rung of the ladder. By the end of October most of the freshmen have become lost at least twice and at least half of the freshmen who take a science have shown up late to a lab with a pass from their study teacher. Why? They forgot that they had lab on Day B! It ' s awfully hard to believe that we, the graduating class, were once as vague and immature as today ' s freshmen. It ' s even harder to believe that only three years ago we were the freshmen! M.B. Eicon John It ' s Getting Better All the Time The Beatles Sophomore year is an important yean. After a year of learning the ropes and testing the ground, Sophomores are ready to get involved. You establish yourselves as a part of the high school. You have always been a pant of high school, but now you will become more active. You are no ongen the babies of the school. You know your way around and you should know what to expect. The big part of Sophomore year is receiving class rings. This makes you feel like a more intimate part of the high school. You are also one step closer to graduating, and you feel, It ' s Getting Better All the Time. B.S. One Thing Leads To Another The Junior yean is probably the best year during high school because many changes are experienced. You are now identified as an upperclassman — which means no more being pushed around by the Seniors. You start to get the feeling of maturity and responsibility. During the junior year, you go for your driver ' s license and hopefully pass the test; no more worrying about who is going to give you a ride. One thing every junior worries about is taking the SAT ' s. Most of the time everyone takes them more than once. One of the biggest events of junior year is the Junior Prom. Everyone is running around looking for gowns and suits at the last minute, wanting everything to be just right. It is a very important semi-formal dinner dance. As the end of the junior year approaches, the juniors are looking forward to the summer and finally their last year of high school. J.Z. The Fixx ne Christine Ahearn Jacob J.

The good part about Methuen High School is that it provides you with a better education than most other schools. I didn ' t like the open classroom concept because when you were taking a test you could hear other classes doing their work. I know I will miss everyone and the times I had these four years. I will always look back and say I should have done this or I should have done that, but most of all, I will re- member my classmates and favorite teachers! I feel that most of the pictures in the yearbook are the people who take part in the activities in school. That ' s not fair. Some people don ' t like to take part, and we have as much right to be in the yearbook as they do. I only come here to see my friends and that ' s about it! Establish a smoking area: So that there will be no smoke in the bathrooms; So that the bathrooms will not be so crowded; So that the bathrooms will not be locked; So that there will be doors on the stalls; So that the smokers can smoke and I can go to the bathroom! Overall, I feel this school was an efficient learning institution for those who wprked so diligently and expected to gain knowledge for the future that awaits them. I ' m tired of people putting the school down. Sure it might have some problems like not having real win- dows, but we have had four fun-filled years here. Let ' s remember the good points and great-times we had! In spite of a few nameless individuals and a few ridicu- lous rules, Methuen High is still one of the best high schools! As much as the students complained about the teachers, I think for the most part they are well quali- fied and care about the students ' welfare. If the students would just think of all that they have experienced and learned these four years, they wouldn ' t have anything to complain about. I M I i n 1 • 73 Memories Barbara Streisand Memories of days gone by . . . your laughter, your music and guitar, your quiet ways will always be alive for your friends you left behind. It seems as though it was only yesterday when we shared some good times together, but now he ' s gone, after only living a short life, unfulfilled of many dreams and goals. Even though Marc Somma is gone, his memory will live forever. S.B. A Friend Forever Taken Away So Young Christopher Cross We ' ll always remember the determination and dedication of this young lady. Her knowledge and experience in swimming was phenomenal and influenced the entire team. Her attitude was always positive right from the very beginning and never once did she lose hope. Our team was going to be the best, she had this in her head and this is what we were going to do. No one questioned anything she did, she was perfect to everyone on the team. The only question that puzzles us can be summed up in Christopher Cross ' s song Laura — Why was she Taken away so young, taken away without warning? She had so much to give, so much love and help to offer and even with what happened, she will still influence many of us to strive for the top and not give up until we get there. Our coach, Jane Cronin, will always be remembered by all. D.F. BO mmmm Money c? Pink Floyd Throughout 1 984, the various clubs and organizations held fundraisers in order to boost their activities. Flower sales were held several times as well as the usual jewelry and M M sales. A Valentine ' s Dance was held in February by the National Honor Society, and they also sponsored a spaghetti supper in March. This was also the first year for some new fundraising events. The Yearbook Staff sponsored a Thanksgiving Day Football game tee shirt sale to help promote its championship game with Dracut. They then h eld the First Annual Hot Legs contest unveiling Matt Machera as the winner at an enjoyable event for everyone else. 1 984 presented us with the first full school fundraiser. All four classes of Methuen High participated in a candy sale which supplied profits to each class. This full school event was termed a success and will be continued in the future. All things considered, this was a wonderful year for fundraising and an aggravating year for some. 01 Hollywood Nites Bob Seger ■K This year ' s play, Rehearsal for Murder, was different from any previous plays put on by a senior class. Not only did it hold you in suspense wondering who the guilty person was, but it also let you relax as each character added his own personal touch for comic purposes. Many thanks and credits should be given to all who helped, beginning with the one and only Ma Hovansian. The play needed the assistance of make-up, lights, curtains, and scenery for the timing to be right. All had to work together so everything would run smoothly. So, for three nights we were able to taste stardom and feel the excitement of live acting. The combination of excitement and anxiety seemed worth everyone ' s effort when the cast received a standing ovation on two of the three nights. B3 Thank-you For Being A Friend Seeing the yearbook almost completed we thought we would dedicate this page to Mrs. Krusell because of her dedication and hard work. Even though the year was filled with some screams and complaints about meeting deadlines, doing layouts, getting pictures taken, and writing articles, we know now that without that extra push the yearbook would not have been an over-all success. All of us wish to thank-you for your help. 1 9B4 Yearbook Staff Hot Legs Rod Stewart When Irish Eyes Are Smiling Bing Crosby St. Patrick ' s day was celebrated on Friday, March 1 6th, this year at Methuen High. Shamrocks and shillelaghs abounded and some students even claimed to have seen leprechauns. Many people sported, Kiss me, I ' m Irish buttons while the sophomore class sold green carnations in honor of the day. In closing, the only way to fully describe St. Patrick ' s Day 1 9B4 at Methuen High, is to say that many Irish Cand some not so Irish] eyes were smiling.

Not only does it apply to some seniors, it has become their whole outlook on school life. See if you have what it takes to be a Real Senior. u Real Seniors get out of bed 1 O minutes before school starts. Real Seniors don ' t know the definition of the word homework. Real Seniors sleep through English. Real Seniors don ' t mind when they get A ' s. Real Seniors are taller than Freshman. Real Seniors don ' t eat school lunch. Real Seniors don ' t hear morning announcements. Real Seniors don ' t diet. Real Senior guys date Senior girls. Real Seniors don ' t know when their midterms are. Real Seniors don ' t know when ANY tests are. Real Seniors are not in the top 1 0° o of their class. Real Seniors don ' t listen to Rick Springfield. Real Seniors are often found in the nurse ' s office. Real Seniors refer to teachers by their first names. Real Seniors are mysteriously absent on test days. Real Seniors don ' t take a language. Real Seniors know by March exactly how many school days are left. Real Seniors think they ' re already in college. Real Seniors have a drawer full of Cliff Notes. Real Seniors don ' t bother arguing about their grades anymore. Real Seniors don ' t study for finals. Real Seniors worry more about the Graduation Party than graduation. Real Seniors have dogs that often eat their homework. Real Seniors know the way to the beach by the end of April. Real Seniors don ' t start their term paper till the night before they ' re due. Real Seniors had Senioritis in September. Real Seniors don ' t wear pink and green. Real Seniors do not get caught cheating. Real Seniors know exactly what happened over the weekend by B:OD A.M.

Distributive Ed. students are able to work in the school store while Business Coop, students are able to work in an office or any other business related field. This experience prepares them for the real 9-5 world. B.L. 32 Every Picture Tells A Story Rod Stewart Mr. William Russell, the chairperson of the Science Department, heads a potentially great team of teachers in educating the students of Methuen High School in the basics of science. The subjects offered in the curriculum are Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Ecology, Anatomy and Physiology, Earth and Space Science, Earth Science, and Minco Science. There are 3 levels offered in most of these areas: basic, college prep, and honors. Approximately 35° d of the students leave the school to go into science oriented college programs, while the remaining go on to technical and junior colleges. The Methuen High School Art Department is located in the central part of the building and is easily accessible even though after 4 years, some of our graduating seniors still don ' t know where it is and have never been inside it. The art department offers a variety of classes for a wide range of students of different abilities. These are Ceramics, Drawing, Painting Printmaking, Visual Arts and Photography, and Crafts. These classes are taught by Barbara Fiorello, department head, Mary Lee Moynihan, and Susan Wagner. The Jackson Five The academics in our school range from a wide variety of Foreign Language courses to many different history courses, as well as varied areas in the English and the Math department. Some of the courses in these departments range from Spanish to French, Algebra to Calculus, Government and Politics to Europe in the 20th Century, and Comedy and Humor to British Literature for seniors. These courses are all offered on a variety of levels. Honors, College, and Basic. Our school has one of the best and most varied academic programs around, and this is proven by the wide range of colleges and universities our students are accepted to. D.F. 34 Spice of Life Manhattan Transfer Home Economics and Industrial Art courses are offered to both boys and girls on an elective basis to meet the needs of all students. These courses are designed to develop the creativity of the average student and prepare him for his future career. The various courses are arranged in order of difficulty to give the students an opportunity to progress at their own speed. Boys and girls in these courses are able to experience true to life situations and are offered the best possible chance to succeed in life. P.T. 35 Leather and Lace Sfcevie Nicks The new trends of the eighties have been reflected in our high school. Although many boys stuck with the traditional outfit of jeans, wonkboots, and t-shirts and most of the girls chose to wear the usual designer jeans and pumps, there has been a change in some of the students ' attire. Bold new colors and styles have been making their appearance at Methuen High School. A variety of clothes such as leather pants, mini-skirts, and Flashdance inspired actionwear have been featured for girls. For the boys, punk hair, muscle t-shirts, skinny ties, and camouflage pants have been the latest craze. Fashion has become more individualized and as long as you ' re comfortable in whatever you wear, you ' ll be in style. K.W. Let ' s Get Physical Olivia Newton-John Sports King of Pain The Police — i m r sstf r - - ?H - % IS - v The Rangers finished the season with a 8-2 record. With the leadership of their quad-captains John Saba, John Kelleher, Barry Tardugno, and Steve Walsh, Methuen had an impressive season. An intense [soul-stirring) performance was put on by seniors Dan McCarthy, Kevin Pelletien, Bob Smith, Mike Jordan, Rob Marggraf, Mike Fowler, Mike Whittaker, and Tony Corey. G.D. V H V — -wij Jump To It Aretha Franklin The cheerleeding squad, led by Theresa Bolduc. Tammy QualterB. and Heidi Wunderleich, puc on an ewe-inspiring performance. Wich che help of honorary cheerleader Tim Frechette, the cheerleaders would get the crowd to rally behind the Rangers. G.D. Play the Game Nazareth To measure the success of the 1 983 Field Hockey Team by its win loss record would be a great disservice to the team members. It was a rebuilding year in all senses and in terest was rekindled in the sport as seen by the large turn out of Freshmen and the improvement of skills at both the JV and Varsity levels. League All-Star honors were awarded to Bev Brien, Chris Salvo, and Dawn Salvo. Chris ' outstanding ability was further recognized by being named to both the Merrimack Valley All-Conference Team and the Eagle Tribune All-Star Team. The future of Field Hockey is looking brighter and I believe the Methuen girls wjll soon be the team to beat. Let ' s Get It Up AC DC The 1 983 Volleyball Team compiled a record of 9-9. Despite this somewhat disappointing total, there were a number of close, hard fought losses including two against last year ' s champion Billerica, both of which went three games and went down to the wire. In addition, two losses to the 1 9B3 conference champion Dracut team were also extremely close. The Merrimack Valley Conference coaches recognized the excellent performances of three of our outstanding players with the selection of Julie Leonard as a first team All-Star, Laurel Perusse ' s selection to second team All-Star, and Sherri Riviezzo ' s achievement of Honorable Mention. With a fine nucleus of underclassmen returning next year, we look forward to additional success in the fall. The Long Run The Eagles 11 The Boys X-Countny team had an impressive season. Led by the superior coaching of Mr. Robert Fuller and the inspiration of their captain Chris Cameron, the Rangers were a force to be reckoned with. Outstanding performances were given by seniors Paul Hickey and Bob Brown. 102 Quiet Riot The Girls X-Countny team was very successful against traditional foes such as Andover and Lawrence. The girls gave every team a run for their money which was shown by tri-captains: Lisa Bilodeau, Sandy Palumbo, and Angela Plantamura. 103 Foreigner H Hnmi P The 1 983-S4 Soccer Team posted a record of 1 5-3-3, which earned them second place in the tough Merrimack Valley Conference. The Rangers were the first team in Methuen ' s history to win a game in the Massachusetts State Tournament, defeating North Andover 2- 1 . This year ' s team was led by MVC All Conference Selection, Glenn Morrisette, and All-Stars Mike DiPalermo, Fred Sanguedolce, Chip Bradbury, Tony Ramy, and Dave Picarillo. Other seniors included Dana Atkinson, Joe McGurn, Jeff Thoma, Marissa Sacchiero and Paul McPeak. C.B. ■ mn ffWJHPTT , ' .4 np J|;i; t - ■ s Every Breath You Take The Police The girls ' swim team had a successful season this year finishing with a 5-A record. The 400 free relay team of D. Fyrer, S. Hosterman, K. Kuzmitski, and K. Nightingale broke the school record, setting a new one at 4:D4.B1 , and also placed seventh in the Sectional Meet in this event. The two senior co-captains, Diane Fyrer and Kara Nightingale, handed down the honors to juniors Kim Kuzmitski and Stephanie Hosterman. Three swimmers, Diane Fyrer, Kara Nightingale, and Stephanie Hosterman were recognized as outstanding performers and named as All-Donference All-Stars. The whole team swam well this year, and the girls show great potential for the future. D.F. Slip-Slidin ' Away Paul Simon New England weather, as unpredictable as it is, stood in the way of the small Methuen High Ski team. Unable to practice much on the patchy snow, and with only a seven meet season, Methuen did not perform their best. It was a tough year, but the general remarks were to stick it out and make the best of it. They were led by Coach Marion Gerardi and Captains Rob Brown and Kris Topham. K.D. 107 I ' ll Tumble 4-Ya Culture Club The 1 9S4 Girls Gymnastics Team, coached by Lynn Habeeb, posted a record of 3-5. Led by Captains Mania Dietz, Lauren Pothier, and Darlene Laplante, the Rangenettes performed extremely well, although their record doesn ' t show it. A very inexperienced and young team; the girls are looking forward to upcoming seasons. C. B. Flying High Again Ozzy Dsbourne Despite a 3-7 season the young Boys Gymnastics team showed very strong performances. They were led by captains Andy Vermette and Fred Sanguedolce. Other impressive showings were given by the other two seniors Tim Frechette ana Mike DiPalermo. Lay It Down Journey The wrestling team recorded its finest season in school history this yean. An undefeated dual meet season [14-01 and team championships in The Salem Christmas Classic and the Methuen Invitational set the stage for a MVC championship, a second in the sectionals and a 5th place finish in the states. All twelve varsity wrestlers had winning records with seniors Dave Kraunelis, Dan McCarthy, junior Mark Jozokos, and sophomore Robert Georato placing in the state tournament. In addition, seniors Dave Broadhurst, Captain John Saba, Mike Whittaker, juniors Eric Boes, Doug Boes, Mike Colizzi and sophomore Paul Bourassa all placed in the Division I North Sectionals. Junior Tim Waites placed fourth in the Merrimack Valley Conference Tournament. Fire and Ice Pat Benetar 11 Ken Palm ' s 1 984 Methuen Ranger Ice Hockey Team finished with a record of 8-9-1 . The team played well, losing many games by only one goal. The team was led by Co-Captains Mike Henry and Darren Spada. Six players were selected for the MVC Small School All-Stars. These players were Bob Robillard, Mike Henry, Chip Bradbury, Darren Spada, Jake Aleksa, and Brett Ruhmann. Seniors Dana Atkinson and Mike McCormack also played well for the Rangers. C.B. 0 Vf Vi One on One Hall and dates Bucky Tardiff ' s 1 984 Methuen Ranger Boys Basketball Team finished with a record of 1 1 -9. This year ' s team was led by Tri-Captains Frank Cavallaro, John Kelleher, and Mike Castiglione. Outstanding performances were also contributed by Bob Szostak, Roger Hardy, and Matt Jozokos. This year, only two players were selected for the MVC All-Star Team. Mike Castiglione and Roger Hardy were chosen. Frank Cavallaro received enough votes for Honorable Mention. C.B. Jump Van Halen This yean held many pleasant surprises for the Girl ' s Varsity Basketball team. Dominating the MVC and ending the regular season with a 1 5-3 record, the girls qualified for the State Tournament. Led by coach Mimi Hyde-Stott and co-captains Chris Salvo and Teresa Padvaiskas, the combined effort of 1 4 dedicated girls brought MHS a very exciting year. The basketball future in Methuen looks very promising with many returning varsity players. Good Luck! K.D. 1 14 I H Ain ' t Nothing Gonna Many athletes would be proud of the individual records of Methuen High ' s young track team, but as a whole, the team could not seem to pull their efforts together. It was hand to lose so many close meets, but the team took it in stride. They continued to work hand, adding as many victories as possible, and should be proud of their overall record. They were led by coaches Larry Klimas and Roger Fuller, and Captains Chris Cameron, Paul Hickey, Lisa Bilodeau, and Cheryl Poulin. K.D. 1 16 m M Break My Stride Matt Wilder ■J T Love Is A Battlefield Pat Benatar 4ta H i 5 •  $ The Girls ' Tennis Team finished their season with a 7-1 1 league record in the tough Merrimack Valley Conference.

Tony Ramy, the team ' s MVP, and Rich Salois, were chosen to the All-Conference Team. They were also selected to play in the league ' s All-Star Game along with Darren Spada who was the team ' s leading hitter. 121 Running With the Night Lionel Richie The girls ' track team was led by seniors Cheryl Poulin, Karen Whiteside and Julie Leonard.

Chris Cameron was selected to run in the International Prep meet in Chicago. Jeff Baker was the New England 1 1 O high hurdles champion. The Stroke Billy Squire The golf team, led by their captain Joe Nicolosi, had a fine season.

The object of the Methuen Chapter of the National Honor Society is to create an enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote worthy leadership, and to encourage the development of character in students. Admission to membership in the Honor Society requires a high level of achievement in the areas of scholarship, service, leadership, and character. Members of the Methuen Chapter must perform many services of a school and civic nature in order to fulfill these qualities. INTERNATIONAL CLUB The major goal of this club is to expose the Foreign Language students to the cultural ends of studying a language. Trips to New York and or Montreal are organized by the advisors as well as pinata making and cooking demonstrations. This year the club invited a group of singers, La Tuna from the Universidad de Toledo, to perform at the school. 138  THE SPANISH NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY This National Honor Society was founded by the American Association of Teachers of Spanish and Portuguese in order to recognize outstanding academic achievement in advanced Spanish students. THE FRENCH NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY The main goal of the French National Honor Society is to stimulate interest in the study of French. It also promotes higher standards of scholarship, rewards high scholastic attainments, creates enthusiasm for an understanding of French culture and civilization, promotes and perpetuates international friendship, and rewards efforts toward furthering solidarity in the French-speaking world. !back L to R) — Glenn Morrissette, Martin Couture.

Superintendent ' s Award Winners It ' s A Little Too Late Pat Benatar f Of all the daily activities that occur at M.H.S. lateness to class seems to be one of the most popular. For some it is a way of life. After all, your body just starts coming to life at 1 :00. A good actor or actress can always manage to escape detention by thinking of an original excuse. With the help of experienced staff members, a list of some of the most original and commonly used excuses was comprised. I ' m sorry I was late, but . . . ... I didn ' t hear the bell ring. . . . My bus was late. . . . My locker was jammed. ... I was in gym. ... I was in the office, [guidance, bathroom, nurse] ... I was talking to a teacher. ... I thought there was a fire drill and I went outside first. ... I forgot my map. ... I had to walk a transfer student to class. She didn ' t know the way. ... I was hungry and stopped at the lunch line. ... I was getting another excused absence. ... I was walking my girlfriend boyfriend to class. K.W. My Generation The Who ' ' 4 ' j Chariots of Fire Vangelus The Annual National Honor Society Induction took place on April 26, 1 9B4, in the High School Assembly Hall and marked the entrance of twenty-five new members into the society. While guest speaker Gerry Molina [from the Lawrence Eagle-Tribune) entertained the large audience with remembrances of his past tenure in the society, members Margaret Arcidiacono, Daniel Barry, Paul Izzi, and Kathy Stacy spoke on the four tenets of the N.H.S. The ceremony was conducted by outgoing President Glenn Morissette and included the transition of leadership powers to the incoming junior officers. The ceremony was well attended and should prove to be the beginning of another successful year for the new members. D.B. Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson The local French and Spanish Honor Societies held their inductions in the fall. Students who have taken either French or Spanish for four years and have kept an A-B + average are eligible. The induction includes a candle lighting ceremony during which inductees promise to use their knowledge of a foreign language as a tool to help themselves and others in the future. The induction also included a speech on the status of foreign languages at Methuen High. At a time in our country ' s history when the rest of the world is at our doorsteps, it is nice to know that some students from Methuen High have proven that we will be able to communicate with our neighbors. M.B. There ' s No Business Like Show Business Ethel Merman On November 18, 1 983, several talented Methuen High School students took to the stage for our second annual variety show. Shirley Hovanasian, otherwise known as Ma , directed this Ranger Revue , while Mike Whittaker, Mark Jozokos, and Lisa Bilodeau served as M.C.s. Throughout the show, performers delighted the audience with many singing, dancing, and comedy acts. With the help of the production crew, the show was a great success and will hopefully continue to be successful in the years to come. 164 K - D - Beatles It was a cold night, but that didn ' t stop anyone from having fun. Our Jr. Prom had finally arrived and we were more than ready for it. We knew that it wouldn ' t be as good as a Senior Prom, but we didn ' t rush to get our licenses for nothing. It was now time to dress our best and show everyone how much class we really did have. The night had become a success and we will never forget it. B L. 165 Don ' t Forget to Dance The Kinks The 1 9B4 Dance Company Show was held on Sunday, May 1 3, and was hosted by the dynamic duo, Shae Baddour and Tim Frechette. Senior dancers Tammy Qualtens, Lisa Holland, Marissa Sacchieno, Karen Balsamo, and Kelly Siggens captivated the audience with many talented moves, while the underclassmen also appeared to be in good form. The show was highlighted by many special guests, including Nicole Dibenedetto, Methuen Break Dancers, and the local band Jackets Required . This year ' s show, Thriller , was a great success thanks to the dedication of its co-ordinator, Miss Lisa Bell. Bye-Bye Birdie Lee Adams This year Methuen High School held its first all-school usical: Bye-Bye Birdie. It was a tremendous success and many talented students came into the spotlight. Among these were Tim Sipsey CConrad Birdie], Kelly O ' Connell (Kim MacAfee), Ryan Pothier (Mr. MacAfee], and Lori Passenello (Many Peterson], The production ran smoothly because of the efforts of Mrs. Dorothy May and her daughter Gretchen May, (Judy MacAfee], who starred in the performance. C.S. 167 m The Power of Gold Dan Fogelbeng The annual Honors Banquet took place on Thursday evening, May 31 , 1984, and recognized the forty-nine students who had earned the right to graduate with honors. After? a well-prepared prime rib dinner, students, parents, and guests received a short address from Rev. John Deegan, President of Merrimack College. The evening was highlighted by the presentation of gold tassles and certificates by Mr. Joseph Salvo, Chairman of the Methuen School Committee. D.B. Anticipation Carly Simon On Tuesday, May 29, students, parents, and faculty gathered for the annual senior Awards Night held in the high school assembly hall. Many awards, both scholastic and athletic, were given to deserving students. The evening marked the end of four years of hard work for many individuals. D.B. i! orderline Madonna It ' s going to go by fast ... so be prepared. With those words we were welcomed here just four short years ago. We sat in the same seats looking up at the same stage wishing the speaker were almost done. Well, don ' t worry, this won ' t be too long. That time has finally arrived . . . The time when each of us must go out into the world and assume some degree of responsibility. Some are going to settle down into good jobs while others are going to further their educa- tion at the college or university of their choice. Whatev- er option you take, I ' d like to give you some advice. I ' m sure that some of you are a little nervous or fright- ened about taking the so-called plunge into the real world. Don ' t worry, that ' s only natural. You must be confident, for confidence is the key to a successful fu- ture. As long as you know you can succeed, you will succeed. Take the knowledge you have supposedly ac- quired here and put it to use in the real world. Only through hard work and determination will you overcome the obstacles that everyone faces along the path of life. Although, at times, they may seem insurmountable, be confident that you have what it takes to become a suc- cess. Only you are the master of your own destiny; only you will determine your fate. As you leave here today, go forth with determination, strength, and the courage to face all challenges that come your way. I wish you good luck and good health in the future. Thank you Class Day 1 9B 4: Dan Barry 17Q Class o % jm_ IS l f J 5 y r  — K 171 All Night Long Lionel Richie 1 ' .V. The night of May 26, 1 9B 4 was a night to remember. The seniors of Methuen High School celebrated the biggest event of their last year. This event was the senior prom which was held at the Sheraton Rolling Green in Andover. The apparel for this glamorous occasion was formal tuxedos and long gowns. After eating a roast beef dinner, the prom continued with all kinds of dancing, including a period of break dancing. There will be many memories to look back upon — memories that we will treasure forever. How Many Times Can We Say Goodbye? Luther Vandross S. Dionne Warwick This year ' s graduation was held inside because of the rain that blessed us the entire week before. Although the weather may have been dampened, the spirits of some 380 graduates weren ' t. As the graduates marched into the field house, shouts could be heard and many bubbles were seen. Each young lady had a red rose, honor graduates wore gold tassles and Honor Society members wore gold stoles. Beginning the ceremony were speeches given by Salutatorian, Glenn Morissette, Honor Essayist, Gary Gearin, and Valedictorian, Diane Fyrer. After scholarships were awarded, diplomas were given out by School Committee members Joseph Salvo and Jackie Weagle. Shouts and appause from fellow graduates as well as relatives and friends ended this graduation on June 3, 1 984, a day which will long be remembered. D.F. II Best; of Times Styx We the class of 1 984 entered M. H. S. in the year of 1 980 anticipating the many challenges lying before us. We became easy targets for the upperclassmen as we were seen lugging all our books to every class. We realized we were no longer in junior high, as we gazed down the long corridors of a new building. Armed with our trusty Methuen High map and compass perched atop our stack of books, we tried to distinguish between the North House and the South House. Taking on the new challenges our freshman class leaders were President Marissa Sacchiero, vice president Tracy McNichols, secretary Heidi Van Meter, and Treasurer Danielle Valoras. The freshman Field Hockey team compiled a record of 9 wins and 1 loss. Memorable players carrying the team were Maura Bresnahan, Judy Brown, Beth Ford, Barbara McCarthy, Jodi Nicolosi, Karen Ricci, and Beth Schmottlach. Also holding up the Methuen winning tradition, ALMOST, was the Boys ' Frosh B-ball Team with a record of 3 wins and 1 5 losses. Outstanding members were Rafael Bueno, Sean CTall) Cusack, Mark Zappala, and Gary Gearin. Ending the tradition of Freshman Cheerleading were Co-captains Theresa Bolduc and Amy Hilderbrandt leading our teams to victory. With one year behind us and 3 more to follow we began to beam with confidence as we looked forward to our sophomore year. We became more daring and names heard more frequently on the intercom were: Anthony Carelli, Diana Croft, Bobbie- Jo Estes, Mario Finnochiaro, Kim Kasperowitz, and Ellen McGibbon. Our J.V. Baseball team had a very successful year with a record of 1 O wins and 4 losses. The squad consisted of such players as: Jeff Raimondi, Paul McPeak, Rich Salois, and Darren Spada. Leading us through ourdifficult Sophomore yearwas Pres. Marissa Sacchiero, VicePres. Heidi Van Meter, seer. Rachael Demers, and Treasurer Frank Cavallaro. With the arrival of our class rings, much to our dismay, the artists rendition of the ranger had a nose that rivaled Shae Baddour. With thoughts concerning our junior year we held our elections which resulted in Pres. Dave Picarillo, Vice-Pres. Tony Ramy, Secretary Fred Sanguedolce, and Treasurer Kelly Siggens. The years 1 982 and 1 983 proved to be successful for varsity football. Some of the more outstanding players on the team were Steve Walsh and Dan McCarthy. Lisa Bilodeau, Sandy Palumbo, Angela Plantamura, and Karen Whiteside helped lead the varsity indoor track with an impressive record of 5 wins and 2 losses. Our junior year proved to be successful for some, but for others, such as the Boys Varsity Tennis team who with a record of 5 wins and 1 3 losses proved the theory You Can ' t Win them All! Members of this team who never gave up were Dan Barry, Glenn Grillo and Sean Cusack. To keep us entertained during the day, we had a live boxing match between James Murphy and Al Moschetto. Ringside referee, Arthur Nicholson III, declared the fight a draw with a prize for each contestant: a 3 day vacation. This by the way was a sell-out crowd. Our Varsity Boys ' Indoor track team had an impressive season with a record of 8 wins O losses. Juniors helping in this performance were Chris Cameron, Paul Hickey, Rob Marggraf and Barry Tardugno. The month of April was highlighted by the Junior Semi-Formal at DiBurro ' s on the 1 5th. As usual, most attending were found escaping to parties by 10:00 As the school year came to an end the candidates for Boys ' and Girls ' State were chosen; they consisted of: Dave Picarillo, Steve Walsh, Gary Gearin, Paul Izzi, and Erik White. Kathy Dignam, Maura Bresnahan, and Beth Schmottlach. Our final class elections were held in May. After the count and recount, the results were: Pres. — Dave Picarillo, V. Pres. — Tony Ramy, Treasurer — Kelly Siggens and newcomer Barbara McCarthy. Sec. In September of 1 983, we were now at the top of the ladder. Senioritis, which began 2 days after Labor Day, was evident by the attendance at Marc DiFrucia ' s house party which rivaled any other event held by Methuen High. Our Homecoming Queen this year was Ellen Endyke attended by Lori Leahy and Kelly Siggens. The band provided us with halftime pleasure and as in past years continued to win various awards. The band consisted of many talented seniors such as Debbie Furnari, Tim Sipsey, Matt Machera, Mark Hertrich, Cathie Cullum, Katie Lannan, Rafael Bueno, Randy McCrillis and Brenda Hughes. Tim Frechette, our own cheerleader. donned his blue wig and entertained us whenever we needed a little spirit. Records were set by the soccer team. Led by Co-Captains Mike DiPalermo and Glenn Morissette, the team boasted an overall record of 1 4-3-3 and won its first state tournament game ever. Other seniors were: Tony Ramy, Dave Picarillo, Paul McPeak, Glenn Grillo, Chip Bradbury, Joe McGum and Jeff Raimondi. Also our only girl ever to earn a Varsity Soccer Letter, Marissa Sacchiero. Seniors John Saba and Mike Whittaker led the Varsity Wrestling team to an undefeated season and a first place finish in the M.V.C. Tournament. Other Seniors were Dan McCarthy, Dave Kraunelis and Dave Broadhurst. Still with another M.V.C. Championship this year the Girls ' Varsity Basketball team closed out a terrific season with an overall record of 1 5-3. Our team of NICE girls was led by Co-Captains Chris Salvo and Teresa Padvaiskas. Other seniors were: Kathy Dignam, Bev Brien and Pam Moll. Time seemed to fly by as we filled out applications and anxiously waited to hear from colleges and job possibilities. Before we realized it, the senior class play was upon us. For the first time in Methuen High history, we experimented with a drama instead of a comedy. Rehearsal for Murder produced many aspiring actors and actresses such as Rob Marggraf, Lori Passerello, Lisa Bilodeau, Karen Cardoza and Robyn Moll. During this blur of time, the 1 98-4 Yearbook Staff was rushing to make their deadlines. Led by co-editors Heidi Parker and Dan Barry, the staff made the deadlines by the skin of their teeth. This year ' s Senior Prom was held at Sheraton Rolling Green on May 28, 1 984 which will always be a long-lasting memory! And that ' s the way it was in this year of 1 984. That ' s all folks!

Live in the present, and make it so beautiful that it will be worth remembering. — Ida Scott Taylor These famous words written by Ida Scott Taylor should be the precedent for each individual present today. Because of the chaos of today ' s world, many are concerned with memories of yesterday and thoughts of tomorrow, and often fail to realize the importance of today. This is life. All of us may have many strong recollections of the past, but they are gone; we cannot bring them back, regardless of how hard we try. Surely, there are things we have done which we all regret and long to forget, but these things were meant to teach us a lesson, and we have learned from our mistakes as well as from the mistakes of others. On the other hand though, there are times we yearn to remember. These times were often dreams come true — times we ' ll never forget. Although it may be our wish to relive the past, it is more meaningful preserved within our minds. Along with remembrances of things past come thoughts of the future. In a few weeks we shall be heading our separate ways and continuing our lives, but we cannot be troubled by these thoughts of the future. The future will come when it comes. Now we must live for today. Obviously, plans for the future must be made and thoughts of the future cannot be avoided, but we must not dwell upon these ideas. Many of us may be worried about what will happen in future years. We should be concerned, to some extent, with this but not overly concerned to the point of being troubled by it. Eventually, things will work out; they usually do for most of us. Don ' t wish this treasure of life away; life is short enough as it is. I ' m not advising you to forget the past or never think of the future, but I feel it ' s important to keep in perspective that today is the day we should be anxious about — today was meant to be unique in many special ways for each of us. This day should be lived as if it were the first day, as well as the last day, of our lives. Each day was made to provide us with the opportunity to better ourselves and fullfill every one of our precious dreams. This is the goal towards which we should strive. It is with this thought that I leave you, my fellow Classmates, the Class of 1 984, and wish all of you the best of luck. Farewell. Valedictory Address 1 9B«4: Diane V. Fyrer 179 -; n Mirror, Mirror Diana Ross Honored guests, parents, members of the school committee, members of the faculty and administration, and fellow graduates: Welcome to the graduation of the Class of 1 9B4. Today is a day which we will long remember as a turning point in each of our lives. We are looking forward to the future and setting new goals for ourselves and, at the same time, we are reflecting upon these last four years with • feelings of accomplishment and gratification. Each of us has shared one common goal, and we have successfully reached that goal together here today as we become graduates of the Methuen High School Class of 1 9S4. Fortunate are those persons who are able to carry over into the future those qualities and traits they have developed enabling them to succeed in high school. Upon entering college or the job market, we are tested by having to rely on those morals we have attained through family, school and social experiences. The invaluable knowledge we have acquired throughout high school has come not only from books, but also from relationships among friends and faculty. Our family ' s support has encouraged us, and we share our pride and gratification with them today. Discipline, organization, independence and adaptability are just a few of the many values which we have learned in order to help us to prepare for our future. Looking back over these past years, we see how, with each day and with each new experience, we have become more aware of our own capabilities and the standards we have set for ourselves. We are now less dependent upon others and more responsible as young adults because of our education both in and out of the classroom. One may wonder, for example, how a seemingly senseless mathematics problem can prepare him for life ahead. Math teaches a person how to deal not only with problems in text books, but also with problems that a person experiences in life. To solve a text-book problem, a student first examines and understands it and then proceeds to use techniques he has been taught in a step-by-step process to reach a solution. A person may resolve problems in everyday life much in the same way. Thinking things through and having a positive attitude are essential in resolving problems both in math and in life. Reflections of our past are necessary throughout our lives as we remember both our successes and our failures, learning from each and always remaining confident of our capabilities and challenged by our new en- deavors. As we look to the future, a quote from the American poet, Ralph Waldo Emerson, is surely full of inspiration: What I must do is all that concerns me, not what people think ... It is easy in the world to live after the world ' s opinion; it is easy in solitude to live after your own; but the great man is he who, in the midst of the crowd, keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude. We hope the knowledge we have acquired, the experiences from which we have benefited and the friendships we have begun will remain with us as we reflect on our past and step into the future. Congratulations — Class of 1 9B4 Salutatorian Address 1 9B4: Glenn (Vlonssette 1BO Dream On Aerosmith For the past four years we have had the constant inspiration of our parents, teachers, and friends. But as we mark the end of this four-year period, we also mark the beginning of a new era of independence; independence that will lead us all to different pursuits, pursuits that will no longer be filled with the constant push of those around us. The inspiration that will spur us onward will be ours. Our dreams and imagination will serve as the motivation as we s trive to succeed. Our sense of desire will serve as the driving force as we overcome the apparent insurmountable obstacles of the future. Our ability to fulfill these aspirations will give the key to our success. The future is ours and it is up to us to go out and seize it; it is up to us to fulfill our dreams and to achieve our desires. Our dreams are the future, fellow classmates. Whether it is to become a doctor, lawyer or even President of the United States we have all had dreams. And in the immortal words of William Shakespeare: We are such stuff as dreams are made on. Skeptics have said that dreams cause disillusionment. But I believe that those who have no dreams, have no future. I urge you to dream on, dream until your dreams come true. But remember to have the courage and fortitude to strive towards the fulfillmen t of these dreams. Have the strength and desire to achieve these dreams. Most important is to develop self-confidence and self-esteem to insure these dreams will become realities. Often times we have heard the words of inspiration: If you can imagine it, you can achieve it If you can dream it, you can become it. If I could leave you, my fellow graduates with one hope, it would be the hope that your dreams of today become your achievements of tomorrow.

On both the local and national levels, many events occurred which should prove to be indelible memories that we will keep for many years to come. While furor raged between the high school and superintendent ' s office over the controversial re-accreditation report, some took a much needed day off courtesy of Mark DiFruscia. On a more serious note, the United States scored a military victory in the invasion of the island of Grenada, while it emerged slightly humilated from the Middle East. Superstars like Michael Jackson, Boy George, and Tom Cruz entertained us while others stood in line for their own Cabbage Patch Doll.
