Middletown High School - Cauldron Yearbook (Middletown, CT)

Text from Pages 1 - 176 of the 1977 volume:

CAULDRON Published by the graduating Class of 1977 of Middletown High School, Middletown Connecticut 1973 1977 An idea, a blueprint carefully drafted . . . A yawning excavation; then steel structure frames pushing up from the depths. Gradually cold, concrete walls enclose the frame - an empty building, gray faceless windows reflecting passing parades of clouds Three Four Yet ... Soon the silence is shattered, the void is filled by living movement, and the cold, impersonal ediface begins to live, to vibrate with the actions of students ... and in the four fleeting years of time we give to it - a soul. School This school will always exist - in our fond memories; often within the imagination we will relive those four years of warm comarderie - that love we had for each other. And, we hope, this school will remain immortal, imprinted forever upon our hearts - always a part of us, and we a part of it. Jt o' School A home away from home. Here we've found brothers and sisters. Here we've found friends - forever Eight In four years we have accomplished much. We have grown taller, wiser, and now feel ready for the ultimate responsibility - the search for truth within ourselves - self discovery. Dedicated teachers have guided, us, shared our triumphs and disappointments. Now strengthened by the orange and black ties of new and old traditions, the fresh promises of the future, we come to the final farewell and leave this building, this school, no longer an empty shell, but a bustling community where others will learn to grow. Adieu, farewell - for a while. 1973 1977 A And struggle through math, science — Eleven We've made friends A school is a unique community ... we play, work, laugh, cry and grow together. Thirteen Fourteen School sort of grows on you Fifteen ... Its like a balancing act ... Sixteen .. . Your life, your future all in the balance Twenty One So through the good times and the bad times it's all worth it — As long as we stay in the race to the finish! Twenty Five Twenty Eight MAP An integral part part of the total experience of the school community. Separate yet an integral part. Cohesive alternate But importantly MHS where the spirit of the tiger prevails — dauntless and courageous. Twenty Nine Four years have passed - oh so quickly it seems. We’ve struggled through the mysteries of math, languages, sciences, and literature. We've struggled through the emotional traumas of lost friendships. We've grown from knee socks to nylons; Little League to varsity team; A first shave A first dance A first date A first kiss Thirty One Thirty Two David Augeri Four years of togetherness binding us in ties of friendship Elnora Barnes Soon there’ll be ripples and crescendoes Michael Bartoszewicz Mary Ann Battaline Elece Battista Thirty Three Four years have steadily and surely brought us face to face with reality.

We've won some battles, but lost others. We've laughed together; we've cried together. We've known love, and even hate. We've tasted joy and we've tasted sorrow. Forty Five In four years we've filled this building with our voices, with our pranks and antics.

Scott-Pensive a moment Nella Monarca Forty Nine I am an A.F.S. student from Nairobi, Kenya, and the aim for me to come in the States was to have an experience of a different culture from mine and to learn more about people. I arrived here in August 1976 and I was given the most warmly welcome I ever had by my family and teachers. I live with the Fortin family. The first few days of school I got confused be- cause of mods, A, B day and so forth. Even some- times I missed my lessons, but the teachers con- cerned appreciated my apology. Also I couldn't communicate with people very easy because I had a very deep British English accent which was hard for people to understand me when I talked. Neither could I understand everything whenever someone talked to me fast in the American Eng- lish accent, but eventually everything got o.k. I didn’t get a chance to have lessons with every teacher in the school, but those whom I took lessons with helped me a lot willingly. This year has been a treasure for me and I will always remember the staff, students and the oth- ers. Since I don’t know how to express more, I will just end by wishing everyone good luck including the seniors and everyone concerned in Middle- town High. And God be with you all everywhere you are now and always. Mary Teresa J.

We saw the faces of her personality - alternately shy, flirtatious, dimpled pensive, bubbling. And we saw the promise of a pretty girl who would mature to a lovely woman.

SBy SBihaku Auf Wiedershehen! At the beginning of the year I had had some ideas of what it would be like to go to school in the United States. Now, at the end of it, I realize that it was very different from what I thought it would be. I am not an AFS student nor a representative of any other program but spent this year with friends of my family. I came over here two days before school started in September, and I remember that I could hardly understand any English. It took me almost one month until I understood most of the morning announcements. In school I would just sit there and try to understand but not talk to anybody. It took me a long time then to start talking to people. The more English I learned the more people I got to know. But it is not only that I learned another language and met other people. I have also been going to a school very different from the one I went to before. Could you imagine M.H.S. without the cafeteria, the swimming pool, or the library? Could you imagine a school without a Nurse’s office, without lockers, an intercom, or Guidance Counselors? Could you think of not having pep assemblies and any kind of sport teams? That is about what German Schools are like. I am glad I could go to a school like M.H.S. It sure is more fun to go to a school like that, where you even can choose your courses and do with your free time what you want (almost). By and large it has been a great year, and I am really glad I came. I have some friends here I wish I could take home with me; I would not want to leave anyway. My best wishes to the Class of 78'! Enjoy yourselves, and have a great Senior year! And also to all those people from M.A.P.: I had a real good time with you in Washington D.C., and I am sorry that I did not join the program.

Marshall added another notch to his records with 5 con- secutive touchdowns in the Gilbert contest. Other outstanding players were J. Knight, B. MacArthur, T. LaRosa. The offense team was sparked by E. Congdon, B. Church, A. Cruz, V. DeCrosta, S. McCoid. The defense team was led by R. Privott, Al Marshall. J. Lundell and B. Church did their share in the linebacker positions. J. Schurevich and M. Tucci were outstanding in safety positions. Football Captains: A. Cruz E. DiClemente Head Coach: John Denunzio Asst.

One Hundred Three Soccer Soccer continues to be an important segment of M.H.S. sports. Their past season was a solid one for Coach Koritkowski and there were some heart breaker matches. Congratulations to an im- pressive record: 15 wins - 3 losses: and the NWC Division I Co-Championship as well as runners-up berth in the CIAC (Class M). Soccer: Team Roster V. Gurciullo. Cap. L.

However, this final season Mr. Mason's team can boast as one of the finast hours of the Rifle Teams fifty year history. Captained by Lewis LaRosa, and Rifle Charles Munat, the team of Ross Andrew, Scott Buchanan, Dwayne Davis, Chuck and Scott Ken- nedy, Brent and Miles Lineberry are to be herald- ed for an enviable record of 932. One Hundred Seven M.H.S. athletes continue with outstanding perfor- mances in swimming also. Bill Caffrey and Capt. Ron Seria set records in the C.I.A.C. meet; Ron in the back- stroke and Bill in the 200 yd individual medley and the 100 yd breaststroke, qualifying him for the State open meet. Mike Aforismo and Jim St. Amand brought home 4th and 5th place honors in the diving competition from the annual State Meet. The team’s 10-5 record was complimented this season by 2nd place berth in the Middletown Invitational and 3rd place in class S C.I.A.C. meet. Coach Parmelee has every reason to be proud of these young competitors. Swimming Roster R. Seria. Capt. J. Arabas J. Bauer D. Director M. Kemp J. Betts M. Aforismo G. Belair B. Caffrey R. Johnson S.

This record enabled the team to gain a share of the Northwest Confer- ence Division I championship and rank fourth in the M Division of the State Tournament. Two highpoints in the young Tiger's season were winning their second consecutive city cham- pionship and defeating League rival Farmington in an exciting overtime game, and then two days later beating Berlin 48-43 to gain a share of the Conference championship. Sophomore, Laurie Boyce, was named to the Northwest Conference Division I first team all stars, and received honorable mention for the girls all-state team; and Judy Vereen, Arthena Hilton, and Susan Holley, were named in the Northwest Conference Division I second team all stars.

Zimmitti Men's Basketball In a steam rolling effort, the 1976-77 Tigers flattened all opposition to win 49 consecutive games in these two unique seasons. Hail to the victors of well deserved rewards! Corny Thomp- son, always dependable, cool and collected, sparked by that dynamite senior Bobby Thomas, co-captains, led the team on to a great record. Single honors have been won by the Gentle Giant- (Corny Thompson): All State Class M, Middletown Press All-star team, Northwest Con- ference All-star team, Most valuable player Class M tournament for two years, and Most Consistent player 1976-77. Yet it is not one man who makes a team and the following players were also instrumental in this season's success. One Hundred Fourteen Bob Thomas Corny Thompson B. McArthur V. Walton R. Holley R. Privott R. Hyman A. Marshall M. Rankins M. Privott Captains One Hundred Sixteen One Hundred Seventeen Girls Swimming The 1976-77 fall sports season witnessed the inauguration of the Girls swimming team. Led by Co-Captains, Katharine Sibley and Mary Pieta, the Tigers won two of five dual meets but lost a thriller to Wilson 92-77. The first year squad was composed mainly of sophomores and Juniors and in ten short weeks they developed from a. loose-knit group into a cohesive respectable unit. Five teammates placed in the Class M” State Championship meet; Katharine Sibley, Mary Pieta, Suzanne Kel- sey, Pamela Dickes, and Karen Nagle. Coach — Roy Weymouth One Hundred Eighteen Volleyball The 1976-77 M.H.S. Volleyball team gained an experience that will not be forgotten by the play- ers. It was an exciting season for Coach Chase and the first year varsity girls. They won many games and lost other matches by a few points. The strong, energetic team was led by co-cap- tains M. Ezell and I. Munat. Other outstanding varsity players were D. Sneed, B. Aliff, and R. Rush. Roster: B. Aliff, E. Barnes, S. Cardoze, D. Cros- key, J. Cruz. M. Ezell , K. Gilbert, C. Meergans, C. Muckle, I. Munat , M.T. Muthoni, P. Rubinow, R. Rush, D. Sneed. Co-captains Coach: Margo Chase Scorer: Cornelius Thompson One Hundred Nineteen One Hundred Twenty Despite a rookie pitching staff, this year's Tiger diamond team sparked to a gleaming finish in third place in the Northwest Conference. A signifi- cant highlight of the season was the Memorial Day defeat of Xavier High. Bob Church won the A. Pickett Hull most valu- able player award. Vic Bufumi led the team with a .395 batting average. Coach De Nunzio complet- ed his 21st consecutive year and witnessed his team qualify and participate in the C.I.A.C. tour- nament for the thirteenth time. Congratulations to the team and the coaching staff. Baseba Roster V. Batumi M. Baker K. Banks R. Church - Captain D. Fogarty H. Guy B. Hunter J. Knight L. Labbadia J. Lundell T. Skogland D.

Consequently, we have no cute poses, no sweating arm bands, no lobs, no loves, no real net crashing scenes for you tennis buffs. However, we do have a roster of seeded players: M. Coogan, J. Morello, W. Gebhardt, L. Collins, M. Snyder, S. Kennedy. Also G. Prazak (the golden voice of radio), D. Lindquist, S. Ger- virtz, and L. Goldenstein. Hopefully next season the photographer will be able to find our tennis team on court! Track — class M state champions A great team performance. Congratulations to coaching staff and the team. Note: Unfortunately mixup dates and other circumstances have resulted in no action pictures of this accomplishment. One Hundred Twenty Two Track The tigers did it again - a championship team in track to match the hoopsters. B. McArthur and K. Marshall were the record setting stars bringing their team to the top with the city conference, and state M championships. Individual perfor- mances outstanding were turned in by Tito Cruz, Ron Seria, and Dave Augeri. Corny Thompson proved himself adept with the shot put as putting in shots for basketball.
