The students at Minnechaug High School were pleased to hear that their new- ly-elected mascot was-THE FALCON! And so an era began. The symbol of Minnechaug is the mighty falcon, and any way you look at it, it couldn ' t have been a better choice. More specifically the prairie falcon, our mascot, is an especially good one to symbolize our sports teams, since this bird is one of the fastest in the world; it has been clocked at over 180 miles per hour while diving. Our falcon is also quite fearless; it will attack prey as large or larger than itself. (Sound familiar? Our football team sometimes does the same thing!) The prairie falcon is a native of the Rocky Mountains and does its hunting in the dry, grassy prairies familiar to that area where it has a whole smorgasboard of prairie animal delica- cies to choose from. Although prairie falcons (and most of the other kinds) are extremely rare in the United States today, there are two specific places where they can be fairly easily found: Atlanta ' s football team, and-you guessed it-at good ol ' Minnechaug High! When the town of Hampden was born, it naturally needed a source of income in order to thrive. Jobs and food were in demand for its people. Power was required to run its mills. What early Hampden needed was a river. And the Scantic River was there, ready and willing to become the lifeblood of the new town. Although still depended on today, the Scantic River hit its prime about a century ago when Hampden was struggling to become a prosperous town. The first sawmill was built on the Scantic in 1790 by Lewis Langdom. Mr. Langdom was the first in a long line of millers to draw power from the rushing waters of the Scantic. Some historians maintain that the word Scantic comes from an Indian word meaning branch of a river. (The Scan- tic River is a branch of the Connecticut River.) Others believe it comes from the Indian word meaning ' ' whiting fish, the kind of fish caught by the Indians in the Scantic. Either way, there ' s no denying that today ' s residents of Hampden owe a great deal to those first settlers and to the surging, life-giving body of water called the Scantic. Something about a small town appeals to the senses. May- be it ' s the absence of traffic and car horns beeping at 5 p.m., neon lights glaring through your windows at night, or the smell coming from dingy smokestacks. Instead, a small town offers a healthy and peaceful place to live. Sunlight pours through sparkling windows, unhindered by city smoke and haze. The air is scented with smells of flowers blooming and smoke billowing out of chimneys. People smile and nod as you pass, bikers race up and down the sidewalks, and joggers chat with you, exchanging the latest gossip and news from around town. As you move along, the faces of many small town friends and aquaintances bring back misty memories of the past. Maybe all small towns aren ' t like this, but they all have one thing in common that you can ' t find in a big city: a feeling of belonging, of having found your place in life and fitting right into it. - - Main St., Wilbraham, the heartbeat of a thriving metropolis. Well maybe not a thriving metropolis, but Main St. is the busiest part of Wilbraham. There is, believe it or not, a lot to do on Main St. You can get a book or see a flick at the library. You can check out the wanted posters in the post office. The meetinghouse near the academy is open for tours on weekends and has a lot of information on the history of Wilbra- ham. Part of Main St., near the center, has been designated as a National Historical District. Rices and Green ' s fruit farms always have lots of apples and part-time jobs during apple- picking time. So you see, there might not be skating rinks or recreation centers on Main St. and there aren ' t any movie theaters, but Wilbraham is pretty interesting once you get to know it. Nestled at the edge of the Berkshires, Wilbraham, and Hampden are two of the most scenic towns in New England. The beauty of our towns especially stands out in the fall when the foliage is at its peak. Looking down on the Wilbraham Country Club from Stony Hill Road is a spectacular sight in the autumn. The emerald green golf course is enhanced by a backdrop of trees speckled with colors of scarlet red, yellow, and pumpkin. On a clear night, the view of Wilbraham Mountain from Highridge Road is really lovely as the lights of the Connecticut Valley glisten below. On a sunny day you can see Mt. Toby to the north and Trap Ridges in Connecticut to the south. Woodland Dell Ceme- tery is another magical spot. It ' s ten and a half acres are peacefully secluded on a wooded hillside, creating a tranquil setting. The view of the Hampden Country Club ' s lush grass and sparkling ponds from the clubhouse is one of the most gorgeous scenes in Hampden. Throughout both towns, road- side streams, old houses, farms and many other peaceful settings add to the towns ' beauty. You ' re driving nonchalantly down Bennett Road in Hamp- den. Suddenly you do a double take, hit the brakes, and your car comes to a screeching halt. Disbelievingly, you look again. Yes, what you ' re seeing is the curser of the Red Baron, the buddy of Woodstock, and the dog-person of Charlie Brown; it ' s a giant Snoopy, straight out of the Peanuts comic strip. Snoopy Rock in Hampden is the product of the imagination of a few talented people who, not too many years ago, saw the potential and creative possibility in a huge, gray rock sitting unnoticed by the side of Bennet Road. With a lot of white paint and a little less of black, the rock was magically transormed from blah to a sensational replica of our hero, Snoopy. With Snoopy ' s paint job faithfully kept up, thanks to the people living in the vicinity, Snoopy can be seen grinning away at all the motorists cruising by him on Bennett Road. Snoopy Rock is really a delight to see and worth going a little bit out of your way for. So go on, take a ride by, and see if you don ' t do a double take. If you ' re a newcomer to school, one of the hardest things to learn is how to pronounce our school ' s name. Minnechaug isn ' t one of your average look-it-up-in-the-dictionary words. It ' s an Indian name meaning Berryland . When Indians used to live in Wilbraham, wild blueberries grew all over the town. Most of the berries are gone now, but the name Berryland carries on. When Minnechaug was first built, a contest was held among the students to come up with a name for the new school. The winning name was submitted by a number of students who knew a little bit on the history of the town. Today we are again reminded of Berryland by the presence of Project Blueberry, which was named after the old Indian name. So if you think Minnechaug is a crazy name for a school, just imagine how you ' d feel being a student of Berry- land Regional High! Stanley Klimkowic KLINK The jingle of keys, the shuffle of movement, Klink comes bounding around the corner smiling a hearty Good morn- ing. For me, it was worth rising ridiculously early every morn- ing to arrive at school while the halls were dark and silent just to greet Klink, to exchange stories and smiles with him. Emptiness fills the halls this year. I hear the jingle of keys and eagerly wait for Klink to round the corner. He doesn ' t. But I see him huddled over a door handle, fiddling with a broken locker, putting up the flag. I miss him. Terribly. Dearly. There was a cheerfulness, a goodness, a diligence about Klink that ' s irreplaceable. Nancy Winetrout RCRDEMICS ■■ J.

McCarthy Foreign Language It ' s quite an experience to visit a culture differ- ent from ours. Alot of people have had the oppor- tunity to travel and visit those different cultures. One of those lucky people was Minnechaug ' s own Mr. Hanscom. He was selected from seven- ty-five men to go to Japan as one of five goodwil ambassadors. During his stay of five weeks, Mr. Hanscom observed Japanese culture firsthand. He visited many different sites in Japan including a Buddhist temple and an active volcano. But, the scenery isn ' t the only thing that ' s different in Japan. Children are taught about respect at an early age. Life centers around respect for elders and friends. Women ' s Lib hasn ' t come to Japan yet, though. Women are not allowed to participate in a conversation between men. It ' s a don ' t speak- until-you ' re-spoken-to rule. All in all, Mr. Hanscom ' s trip was very success- ful. He learned about schooling in Japan (No Smoking) and about daily life. But basically, he thought Japan is a nice place to visit but he wouldn ' t want to live there. 1 m .jji W 1 1 m A. Newsome Cooperative Education Mrs. Ats of the Social Studies and Language Departments has been teaching for some twenty years, accomplishing many deeds for the Stu- dent Body. Mrs. Ats formed the Junior Classical League six years ago and has raised the club to one of the best in the school. She says she couldn ' t run the club alone and this is true, but she is the group ' s backbone. Ideas are usually formed by club members and its president, Kevin Mack; but Mrs. Ats is the one who adds the final ingredients to complete the mixture for a suc- cess. After alot of hard work and always finding time for the J.C.L., she has never received any kind of individual acknowledgement. In the past years of working with the Latin students and the Junior Classical League, she and the club have been awarded many honors, state as well as na- tion wide. Minnechaug is very lucky to have such a dedicated teacher on its staff. So, the next time you hear someone refer to you as, You all, you ' ll know it ' s Mrs. Ats. i Ji Common sense is instinct. Enough of it is genius. — George Bernard Shaw By now, Project Blueberry has become pretty well known around Minnechaug. A brief definition of it would be: Project Blueberry is a video-cultur- al journalism class. Translated that means it ' s a course where students learn about their commu- nity and writing by doing television shows about people, issues, and life styles within the two towns of Hampden and Wilbraham. The question now is, who started Project Blue- berry? Well, the course was founded by David Bernstein and Greg Trimmer, two English teach- ers here at Minnechaug. Four years ago, in 1976 they wrote for a federal grant and got it. And so the story begins. These two teachers saw a need. Some kids weren ' t getting what they needed out of average English courses and other s just needed a change. In either case they intended to provide a solution. And Project Blueberry was it. It pro- vides students with a hands-on experience to learning. It ' s one thing to write a term paper, but it ' s another thing to write, produce, direct, and edit your own television show. That ' s what makes Project Blueberry so special. It ' s a whole new experience for students to go through. It ' s a lot of work yet students are still motivated be- cause it ' s so different. Well, now you know who started Project Blue- berry, but it is the combined efforts of everyone, teachers and students, that keeps it going and makes it what it is. And it is a berry good course. Or, in the words of some of the kids- We only want you to turn us on! ,T HE SENIGRS 1976-77- Freshmen year began in the bicentennial celebration of our country-a new era for the United States- a new beginning for freshmen students. Freshmen year is full of fond memories of wet hair, halls named after letters, scary seniors, and confusing things called blocks. The class of 1980, however young, managed to survive. This was the year of the bomb scares. We spent more time outside in the cold than we did inside in class. This was the year of the Concert Band ' s famed trip to Italy, freshmen biology ' s three-day trip to Rhode Island and everyone ' s trip through the pool. Teachers ' names appeared unpronounceable, no one could seem to get a grasp on rotating blocks; and, if all this wasn ' t bad enough, in May they put you through arena. If anything, freshmen year became a crucial test, an insurmountable obstacle, a difficult dilemma; and just when we thought we had it made, they hit us with sophomore year. 1977-78- Sophomore year started on a sweet note with the candy sales. Sophomores became walking candy machines. Wanna buy a candy bar? became the watchword as the first of a long series of fundraisers began. Sophomore year memorabilia includes food-fights of unheard of proportions, bruised body parts from lifesaving, and, the Pyro. Minnechaug was ablaze, so to speak, with the newest craze of burning things up — this, however, didn ' t last long. Project Adventure was something that belonged to sophomores and sophomores alone. This is perhaps one of the most interesting aspects of our physical education program. This course was designed to inspire an individual ' s self-confidence and to teach students how to work out group problems. It was alot of fun and it was co-ed! This was also the year that the infamous Minnechaug Falcon Football Team began its long winning streak and captured the Suburban League Title. With the close of sophomore year we happily received our class rings and began to look forward to being called upperclassmen. 1978-79- Junior year looked hopeful as we started the year with the calendar sale. The calendar sale was followed shortly by the magazine sale which was followed quickly by the junior work weekend. The calendars didn ' t go over too well as Minnechaug juniors stomped door to door begging for people to buy calendars. More successful perhaps, was the magazine drive, where if you couldn ' t get Mom to buy a few you could always treat yourself. For the work weekend the juniors were assigned all the jobs the seniors never got to — need I say more. Everybody breathed a sigh of relief because there were no more pool requirements but then they sprang disco dancing on us. No one believed that they had found something worse than pool, but they had. On the brighter side, junior year was the year of the license. The license entitled you to drive, and driving meant you had to beg, borrow, or steal a car — things were looking up. One of the more memorable notes of junior year was the battery of tests administered under the heading of college boards-PSAT ' s, SAT ' s, ACT ' s, AP ' s, and ACH ' s. (Sounds more like something they might have dreamed up in the cafeteria.) Noteworthy is, that as we passed the great divide from mere juniors to ultimate seniors, the football team completed its second unbeaten season, again capturing the Suburban League Championship. 1979-80- Congratulations class of ' 80! We have arrived at our goal — senior year. This is the year of the senior kick-off dance, turkey raffle tickets, senior work weekend, the banquet, the senior breakfast, the prom, and graduation. Who would have thought we would have survived the rigors of the last three years? Both fundraising drives-the turkey raffle and the senior work-weekend were a success. The football team wasn ' t as fortunate though as it broke its winning streak. Nevertheless our spirits weren ' t dampened as we moved forward to Open Campus. Open Campus soon became Senior Privilege — however the seniors are still trying to figure out the privilege. We wish better luck to the junior class in this regard. Senior memories are of Wednesday half-days once a month, permanent passes to the library that insured meeting up with library personnel, and college applications that insured confusion. College, work, the army — whatever decision you had to make involved problems, but then we ' re seniors and seniors can handle anything. We were all shooting for that little piece of paper with our name on it that we receive at graduation. The memories of our four years at Minnechaug bring laughter, tears, smiles, blushes, pain, and hope. We look forward to catch tomorrow, yet we hope that we can hang on to yesterday. - SENI0R QFFIEERS Dave Normandeau - President Linda Bissonette - Vice President Judy Dalton - Secretary Sue Goguen - Treasurer A unified class has to have solid, sound leadership. And through the years, the class of 1980 had the good luck to possess such leaders. As freshmen, Kay Loftus, Donna Mathews, Mary Hough, and Debby Farnham were elected to organize our new class. With the irreplaceable guidance of our advisor, Mr. Kennedy, Kay, Donna, and Sue Goguen were back sophomore year resuming leadership as we ordered class rings and sold candy bars. Organizing our successful magazine drive was one duty of our junior year class officers Sue, Kay, and Kathy Crawford. By the time senior year rolled around, our new president was Dave Normandeau, who was assisted by our very dedicated new vice president, Linda Bissonette. The offices of secre- tary and treasurer were filled by Sue Goguen and Judy Dalton. These four really helped make it a senior year to remember. The Class of 1980 would like to sincerely thank its officers who, through their dedication during our years at Minnechaug, kept spirit and unity at a constant high. They made our class something special. SlS SENIOR SNAPSHOTS r li r. ' i . wit K SENIOR PORTRAITS Edward J. Albertson Kristen Anderson Kurt Anderson Tami Andre Kathleen Andrews Bonnie Ashe Lisa L.

KENNEDY • JOHN F. KENNEDY The best thing that ever happened to the class of 1980 was Mr. John F. Kennedy. Mr. Kennedy volunteered his services to help our class through our four years at Minnechaug, not an easy task! Mr. Kennedy was the most generous and dedicated advisor our class could have asked for. He gave up a great deal of his free time to help make our senior year the best it could possibly be. Mr. Kennedy was an unique advisor because he worked along side of our class instead of above us. He stuck patiently by the class from our first attempt to raise money until our last. Need- less to say, the Freshman dance was not a big money maker, but Mr. Kennedy gave the class the encouragement to keep on fight- ing. Along with other enthusiastic class members, Mr. Kennedy gave up many of his weekends to rake leaves during the Junior and Senior work weekends. He rarely lost his cool; but when he did, he had good reason to. Despite the fact that being our advisor took away from his teach- ing time, coaching time, and most importantly his personal time, Mr. Kennedy always seemed to have time to help our class. Do you remember the bake sale, the Freshman dance, the candy sale, our class rings, the calendar and magazine drives, the Junior and Senior work weekends, the Kick-Off Dance, and the Turkey raffle? These are the many events that made our class one of the most successful classes in the history of Minnechaug. None of these money-makers would have been possible without Mr. John F. Kennedy. The support he gave to the class of 1980 through his ideas, his time, and all his effort is priceless. Mr. Kennedy, The class of 1980 admires and respects you as an advisor, as a teacher, as a coach, and most impor- tantly as a good friend. You have made our high school years most memorable, and we could never repay you for all that you have done for us. Thank you for everything. With love, flb SMITH Darest Thou Now Soul Whitman Darest thou now soul, Walk out with me toward the unknown region, Where neither ground is for the feet nor any path to follow? No map there, nor guide Nor voice sounding, nor touch of human hand, Nor face with blooming flesh, nor lips, nor eyes, are in that land. I know it not soul, Nor dost thou, all is blank before us, All waits undream ' d of in that region, that inaccess ible land. Till when the ties loosen, All but the ties eternal, Time and Space, Nor darkness, gravitation, sense, nor any bounds bounding us. Then we burst forth, we float, In time and space soul, prepared for them Equal, equipt at last (0 joy! O fruit of all!) them to fulfil soul. RCTIVITIES FALCON FOLLIES The lights dim and hundreds of rowdy voices are screaming. The annual Falcon Follies Talent Show is about to begin. This year the talent show played to a packed auditorium — people were being turned away at the door. But those lucky people who managed to get inside weren ' t disap- pointed. Acts ranged from Mark Trombley ' s magic act to Tony Falcetti ' s Feels So Good on the accor- dian. The Minnechaug Cheerleaders did an excel- lent routine to the Fight Song from The Main Event, and the kickline made its annual appear- ance to the music of If My Friends Could See Me Now. The music at the Talent Show was excellent. Debbie Belli sang a solo accompanied on the piano by Debbie Orton. Who could forget Mary Wolcott and Paula St. Denis ' version of City of New Orleans. To end the show, the band, Sen- ior Jam, played a song they wrote leaving the audience shouting for more. A lot of time, effort, and talent was put into this event, which helped make this year ' s Falcon Fol- lies the best. Falcon Follies performers: L. Barton, D. Belli, A. Branconnier, R. Brooks, D.

This year Minnechaug ' s JCL re- gained their championship title at the annual State Catapult Championship. But catapults aren ' t the only thing JCL is into. Each year they sponsor the Battle of the Classes dance. JCL is becoming quite famous for their movie production company. This year ' s hit was completely directed and performed by JCL members. JCL isn ' t just a club for Latin students — it ' s open to everyone. JCL ' s advisor is Mrs. Ats, who also teaches Latin and Ancient Times. Their lead- ers are Kevin Mack, Dave Florian, Linda Bisson- ette, and Krista Hahn. JCL is one of Minne- chaug ' s oldest and largest clubs and will hopeful- ly continue for many many years to come. ront Row: CErickson, R.Senoit.

Every year, a small group of students, or shall we say sen- ators, write up a bill and bring it to the annu- al Model Congress held at A.I.C. The group, led by Miss Brewer, has to come up with an idea for a bill, write the bill up, and finally one nervous senator has to read the bill to the Congress. Model Congress is the best way to learn about our government. Who knows, maybe some of the members of Min- nechaug ' s Congress will end up in Washington DC. Back row: K. Kervick, K. C rawford. M.

Mathletes compete with schools from the area doing extremely hard math problems. The meets involve a lot of hard thinking as well as a quick mind.

They ' re members of Minnechaug ' s Leader Corps; a group of juniors and seniors who are selected each year to help in freshmen and sophomore gym classes. Their time is spent demonstrating a penny drop on the uneven bars, showing the class how to climb the trees in Project Adventure or maybe being a Victim in a lifesaving demon- stration.

A miracle is the only way to explain how our yearbook comes out on time. Actually, it ' s the hard work of our diligent year- book editors. They ' re the ones you see in the halls begging for people to be on their staff or screaming because their deadline has suddenly crept up to tomorrow. The crew of editors are really a bit crazy. Who else would want to spend their homeroom period in a room no bigger than a closet? Homeroom in the yearbook office is a frantic ten minutes with editors running around, trying to get their lay- outs in on time. But somehow, who knows how, the yearbook comes out on time.

The fact-finding, inter- viewing, and advisor-chasing, (and all the other jobs the editors don ' t like doing), are given to the staff, who come through every time. Without the dedication of the yearbook staff and a lot of ef- fort on the part of the editors, the yearbook would not yet get finished. • 5 • 108 The Pep Band — Is it a group of somber-faced musicians who take their music seriously? Are you kidding?! This may be so at band practice, but at the football games, the Pep Band just concentrates on keeping the fans rowdy and spirited. Strains of The Pink Panther and Go, Fight, Win! keep the crowd clapping and stomp- ing. The Pep Band was a large part of our Satur- day afternoon football games; a part we really couldn ' t do without. 109 CONCERT BAND Whenever a member of the Minnechaug bands sees an orange or a grapefruit, he ' s probably reminded of the bandshell that they use during their concerts. To raise money for the shell, they sold a completely full truckload of citrus fruits from Florida. The bands, under the direction of Mr. Charles Beeler, perform at Open House and also at the winter and spring concerts. They also have outdoor concerts in the courtyard. Once again, the band is sponsoring a Pop ' s Dinner Concert — complete with a lasagna dinner. Along with all the hard work of raising money, the bands always give spectacular performances — a tribute to all their hard work and many hours of practicing. Band Members: C. Ayers, K. Anderson. K.

SCHOOL STORE During lunch hundreds of kids are crowded around one small window yelling, Give me a bag of peanuts or I need a size 9 bathing suit. It ' s like that every day at the school store. The store sells anything from pencils to bathing suits. And the store isn ' t just a place to buy munchies; it ' s a different kind of classroom. The kids who work there learn all about running a store from every aspect, like purchasing items and setting up dis- plays. You can always count on the school store to have something good to eat if you don ' t want to eat what ' s on the cat ' s menu. What would we do without the school store? School Store members: I.

This year ' s discussions included debates over the controversial subject of Open Campus, and the question of eliminating students ' cars. The Christmas Semi-Formal was one of the events sponsored by this organization. Once again, the Student Council served as an important link between the student body, facul- ty, and administration.

But besides the snap of the 21-game winning streak and the bad luck at home, the season didn ' t turn out too bad. The names on the back of the player ' s shirts improved the game immensely for the spectators who previously had to check a program every time they wanted to know who was doing what. Kevin Dorsey ' s long runs and the help he got from side- kicks Gary Rahilly, Tom Read, junior Tom Coville and fresh- man Varsity starter Bruce Strange along with the general effort from the whole team, made for quite a few moments of excitement in the stands. And the impressive accomplish- ments from both freshmen and J.V. teams hold a lot of hope for the future. I FOOTRA. WINNECHAUG REGIONAL HIGH .vHOOl z varsity football 4-6 F. Row: Coach Martin, T.

Whether they ' re echoing through the halls after school, or trying to get the crowd going during the games their spirit never dies! Because, really, what is the duty of a cheerleader? They practice just as hard as any other sport, maybe even hard- er. A cheerleader is responsible for getting the crowd rowdie and ready for the game. Have you ever sat through a game without chanting a cheer in your head or out loud along with the squad? Those cheerleaders really are the ones who keep the school spirit and togetherness alive. This year under the coaching of newly-hired gym teacher Miss Rickarby, and former Minnechaug cheerleader J.V. coach Miss Owens, the teams have been working harder than ever .

Two sides to a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, squeezing out the bus door, were followed by a teddy bear, a trash bag bug. and a Roman tripping over her toga. Oth er mean characters, warpaint on faces, slid out the door too, ready to Kill the Rams . This was just one of the ways the field hockey team got psyched for their games. Back of the bus jokes spurred on by co-captain Brenda Hnatow and goalie Lisa Fusco also got the team laughing and ready to win. But out on the field, they quickly got down to business. Senior co-captain Kathy McGranaghan ' s orders, Sticks down, Minnechaug . immediately sent ten sticks plunging to the ground. Few opponents could stop Carol Ferrier ' s fifty-yard drives or Linda Mandolini ' s soaring scoops. Betsy Brainard and Carrie Garvey dominated the right side of the field, constantly cutting for flat and through passes. Once off the field, the seriousness was scrapped. The boy ' s soccer team appreciated the efforts of the field hockey team in redecorating their locker room with shaving cream so much that they thanked the girls by making a personal appearance at the field hockey party.

The team was led by Captain Dan Sullivan, who turned in seven team first-place finishes. Other members with team first-place finishes were senior Bruce Wood with three, junior Kevin Stone with two, and junior JohnTarbell with one. The team also did well at the Valley Wheel Champion- ship Competitions held on their home track. Senior Bruce Wood was the top finisher for Minnechaug, placing eighth. Seniors Dana Berenson, Scott Mikkola, and Dan Sullivan and juniors Ken Schafer, Kevin Stone, and John Tarbell also turned in good times. In the past, Coach Bamford and Assistant Coach Bar- rett had a problem in that not many freshmen tried ou1 for the team. However, this year three freshmen compet- ed for the Falcons, including only the second girl who ever ran with the team, Lisa Merritt.

The last three games of the girls ' soccer season were the most satisfying for everybody. For the first time ever, the girls didn ' t lose to Cathedral but tied 1-1, a definite high point of the season. Tied 0-0 at the half against Westside, the girls ' hopes were soaring, especially when they got ahead by 2 in the second half. Unfortunately, when the final whistle blew, they were down 6-2. I was just vomiting on the sidelines, said Coach Deely. But their total annhiliation (5-0) of Classical, who were good enough to hope for a tournament spot, almost made up for it. But with all this season ' s ups and downs t the blowing away of the girls ' field hockey team in volley ball was a definite victory. We took all 5 games, said Coach Deely with a smile. Mr. Deely felt that this year was basically a season for building up next year ' s team which should be lethal. With the likes of the Willson twins, Pam Melcher, and Lynn Farrar, the pavers of that team, should be more than enough to make up for any mistakes made this year.

The cheer Linda Hermance, All Right! really didn ' t apply because Linda always did all right. Two new coaches also made this year different. Sandy Blitzer, a star swimmer herself, coached the swimming portion of the team, Her assistant, Doug Hawkins, was a student at Springfield College. His job was to stand at the end of the pool and lure the girls to the finish. Pat Lynch coached diving and her divers did very well in the meets. The team this year has done well.

Everyone made a contribution, including the team ' s manager, senior Larry Delgrego. The season was highlighted by outstanding victories against Putnam, Longmeadow, East Longmeadow (twice), and previously undefeated Amherst. One of the most exciting games of the season was against South Hadley, who defeated the Falcons 61-60 with a one in a million half- court shot at the buzzer. Major contributors were made by co-captains Scott Leven and Glenn Gibson, and seniors Jeff Kibbe, John Wolford, Dave Reinhard and Jim Cooley. The team ' s hopes for the future rest mainly on the only underclass- men on the team: Pete Rymsza, Tom Coville, and Don Laware. am • — — i m P varsity basketball 13-9 Front Row: B. Crawford, J.

Asmar mnasti £s| Before a girls ' gymnastic meet the only place you could find Minnechaug ' s girls ' gymnastic team is in the show- ers. Not taking a shower, of course, but sitting on the floor, listening to Coaches Cascio and Lynch give a pep talk. To get psyched for a gym meet, the girls play what they call psyche records and then do their psyche cheer. After the pep talk, the girls are physically and mentally ready for tough competition. The girls ' team is led by Captain Sue Chapin, a veteran senior member, who has given nothing but her best to the team. This year ' s season had gone extremely well. Sue Chapin, Joy Wolcott, Marcy Sitnik, Kerry Costello and Lori Veto are just a few of the members who have given excellent performances this year. The girls ' gym team is most certainly an unparalled success story! A , .

Chapin (Capt.) hockey  £ Although our own Falcons on ice got off to a less-than- spectacular start with a few losses in a row, they soon came barrelling back in full force, finally making it to the first place position on the charts. Lead by Coach Kennedy and Captain Mike Kozub, this feat was achieved by the versatile skating and all-around skill shown by the team throughout the season. Standouts included the league high-scorer, Doug Vierthaler, seniors Dan Sullivan, Scott Mackintosh, and Kevin Reddington, juniors Scott Abrahamson, and Greg Brochu and sophomores Bill Palm, Larry Lloyd, and Dennis Welsh. The guys had big shoes to fill after the tremendous success of last year ' s team, and you ' d have to agree that they did a superb job of it. ; ' : ■ r : ie ■)«. varsity hockey 19-3 Front Row: L.

Lead by co-captains Penny Gray and Brenda Williams and under the guidance of Coach Deslauriers the team put forth a superb effort throughout the season. Seniors-Lisa Hermance, starting center; Brenda Williams and Robin Demietrius guards, and Penny Gray, forward add depth and experience to the team. Junior Arlene Jordan is Coach Deslauriers ' hope for next year and the remaining six sophomores are the backbone of the team. This team is full of ' Chaug spirit and involves everyone in their basketball games. Dave, the team ' s favorite referee, has been nominated by the team for the coveted Ref of the Year Award The team ' s favorite pastimes are shopping for junkfood and touring other high schools; their one goal is to win.

They went from a starting score of 66.7 in their first meet to a finishing score of over 88 in the concluding Western Mass. Tournament. The number one reason for the great improvement was the excellent coaching. Keith Lomas entered his second year as head coach, while Bill Adolph Kalmakis took over the reins of second in command. Depth was another factor in the Falcon ' s successful year. Led by co-captains, Mike Miller and Dana Berenson, their team spirit carried them through the vigorous practices and frequent meets. Along with the captains, seniors Roger Smith, Mark McGuann, Mark Dodd, and Chris Babineau offered strength on each event to aid in the scoring. Other com- petitors whose scores counted consistently were juniors John Kibbe and Ken Melikian as well as sophomore, all- around Mike Moody. All in all, it was a very successful year for the Falcons, and all the returning gymnasts are looking forward to an even better season in the year to come. ■ - - ' Ai s varsity gymnastics 2-3-1 Front Row: M.

It was only the boys ' swim team getting psyched for their meets. Captain Frank Grillo was a major factor in keeping this spirit high, which helped the swimmers attain their 8-6 dual meet record and third place in their division. Coached by Hal Miller (who recently had a division named after him) and Dave Kaynor, much of this team ' s success is from the effort of the seniors Jeff Kerr, Kevin Ingraham, Jim Irla, Steve Payor, and diver Kevin Mack. Outstanding under- classmen include junior Tom McGuill, and sophomores Brian Semle, and Dave Magill, and freshmen Eric Stroshine and Doug Hess, all who were invaluable in some of those closer meets and who are bright hopes for the future swim team successes.

Captain Gary Rahilly says with a grin, that their constant indoor practices, the assistance of Coach Mina, and all the combined efforts from all the guys made it possible. Meets were held at Berkshire East, with six teams competing at once. Berkshire East is also the place where they had their once-a-week- outdoor practices. Indoor practices consisted of running up and down the stairs, sit-ups, push-ups, and any other form of calisthenics. The contributions of Todd Labine, George Quirk, Chris Shay, and P.J. Cambo show great promise for next year ' s team; providing we get some snow. All the guys agree that next year they should do a lot better record wise. These and other members of the team led Minnechaug into the 80 ' s with high hopes and a respectable record. boys ' ski team 11-25 Front Row: J. Shea, M. Palarsic, C. Shay, C. Boyer, G. Rahilly, T.

The girls ' ski team not only managed to find a snowy slope to practice on, they also hold their league ' s second place spot. Their top four skiers, Kathy McGranaghan, Debbie Orton, Diana Swain, and Carrie Garvey have really boosted the team ' s standing. A lot of credit should be given to Debbie Orton and Kathy McGranaghan, team captains, who psyche up their team before each meet and practice. Some team members were a little worried over the lack of snow, but practices were held once a week at Berkshire East. After the practices, the team heads to McDonalds for supper and talk about the upcoming meets. The girls ' ski team is definitely a team that has a lot of determination and, most importantly, they have a lot of faith. (In the snow of course!) girls ' ski team 38-11 Front Row: D. Orton. W.

Bow to your corner and now to your partner. Right and left grand then come home. These are the fam- ous calls from our faithful square dancing leader, Mr. Barrett. Most of us, aside from a few experts, were pretty bored with the idea of square dancing for three whole weeks. But after a couple classes we realized it wasn ' t that bad and even started to like it. Seriously, how hard is it to promenade and chain across. Look out world! Here come the Min- nechaug promenaders! A. jordon K. Kane T. LaMotte L. Langone G. Lasonde J. Laurino J. Law 0. Laware H. Leard H. Leard H. Leard B. Leary As a member of that third-year-of-high school class, I can say quite definitely that being a junior is a very hard bill to fill. I mean, what other class has to work hard and study almost non-stop throughout the whole year? All we heard our whole sophomore year was, Have your fun now, because next year is what ' s important for college. And that sure was true, because believe me, those S.A.T. ' s aren ' t something you can go in for cold. They really hurt! But junior year wasn ' t spent in total seclu- sion studying. It did have its moments, like that first glorious ride in the car when you, yourself, were the driver. After sitting through all that driver ed. aggravation and nerve-rack- ing behind-the-wheel, it was so sweet to final- ly hold that dear, little, rectangular card in your hand that gives you your okay to drive. S.A.T. ' s, licences, and all those other end- less little moments worth remembering are what made up our junior year, our last year of being underclassmen. R. Morgan S. Morgan K. Moriarty N.

Carron W. Carter When that fateful day dawned cloudy and bleak, I took it as an omen of what was to come of my first encounter as a big high school student at Minnechaug. I really didn ' t know what to expect — the ever-smiling days of glee I pictured from looking through my brother ' s yearbook? Or the horror tales told me by last year ' s freshmen? What I actually experienced was a little of both. That first day was a doozy, with freshmen voices crying out from the murkiest depths of the school: HELP! Rotating blocks ? Blocks of what? Snackbreak? That ' s cool (Little did I know that it wouldn ' t last through the fall.) Those seniors are gorgeous! What is it with those guys lurking in the halls with walk- ie-talkies? Those seniors are so stuck up. M-HALL?!? By June, I had finally become an official contributor to Minnechaug Mania. I got used to being the baby of the school again, and found out there really were three floors. I even got a friendly grunt out of a few of those very cool seniors. Come to think of it, it was a pretty O.K. year! K. Florio D. Flynn J. Franklin M. Fraser E. Frodema L. Jones R. Jones L. Joseph P. Kaczenski S. Kane J. Karam H. Karlson R. Keeton D. Keith J.

Mileskie SPLAT! All right! I got him with the whipped potatoes right in his ear! Laughter resounds throughout the lunchroom and the food fight is on with a zillion portions of Min- nechaug ' s appetizing cuisine whizzing through the air. Although a few nervous stu- dents duck and try to shield themselves with their calculous notebooks, most are in the thick of it using their forks as slingshots and peas as bullets. After about a minute, herds of kids start stampeding towards the doors try- ing to escape before a teacher — patrolman — walks in with his notebook and starts tak- ing names. The few that do get caught have a pretty good excuse: But what else is this cafeteria food good for besides ammuni- tion? Good question! D. Richard J. Richard G. Ringwalt G. Roberts D. Robinson What, you ask, do you do when you ' re bored in school? Read the bathroom walls, of course! It ' s great to catch up on the latest gossip: who hates who, who loves who, who ' s going out with who, who broke up, and what everyone thinks of our school. Personally, I couldn ' t tell you what it says in the boy ' s room, but I can make a good guess. It must be nice, guys, to find out what everyone thinks of your girlfriend. Not only can you learn some catchy poems and find out about school affairs , the walls of Minnechaug can provide hours of enjoy- ment on a gloomy day. Not meaning I suggest skipping classes, of course, but the next time you ' re roaming the halls during lunch or be- fore homeroom, take a trip to the bathroom, get comfortable and read away. K.

Everything seemed so confusing. The task of creating a yearbook takes a lot out of you and a written descrip- tion simply would not justify the sheer frustration felt by the editors as their deadlines approach. Everything else — work, school, sports, leisure — was in some way affected in order to get our pages done! The editors are self-motivated and dedicated people. They should be proud of the job they did. Maybe they weren ' t being paid, but they now have a permanent record of their work, their creativity, and the mere self-satisfaction from something like this is by far — priceless! Lisa Fusco mJkkAHM txmt,ic uriurV Panic! Paranoia! Chaos! Help! Such are the typical emotions of a yearbook editor. It takes a strong character to brave the pres- sures of this immense responsiblity. Those of you who haven ' t experienced it have no idea the amount of work that has gone into this book. You look for your picture, collect signatures, and maybe in a few years, you ' ll go back and really read your year- book. What may seem like just another yearbook to you repre- sents the results of hours of work, near heart attacks, sleepless nights, neglecting school work and staying after ' til it ' s just you and the janitors to we, the yearbook editors. So take a closer look, pay attention to details, and please don ' t complain if you don ' t like this book. If you can do better, here ' s your challenge! Despite the loads of work, being an editor does have its re- wards, and we in Y-l have some excellent times. We ' re like a big family, fights and all, so if you hear screaming and yelling when you walk by in the morning, or see crumpled up layouts thrown all over the room, you ' d know why. We ' re quite a crew, and I want to take this time to personally say, congratulations: Lisa, Elaine, Rosey, Seda, Beth, Judy, Anne, Bob, Kristin, Kathy, Scott, Patty, Amy, Sue, Larry, Mrs. J., Julie, and Mr. T. You ' ve done a hell of a job! Tracey Zeckhausen We would like to thank Don Lendry for having yearbooking down to a science, and Mr. Jones and Mr. Maciaszek and their students for the artwork that appears in the senior section. We would also like to thank Dick Lucius and his falcon for the beauti- ful photographs; Judy Pezza would like to thank herself for all her hard work and frustration; the sports section thanks Charlene Downes for her running around; and thanks has to go to Sharon Chapman just for being the fag that she is (from the zoom from the Planet of Shaving Cream). Thanks to Steven ' s and especially Mark Caron, all the coaches and advisors, Mr. Mina, and each section editor wishes to thank their hard-working staffs, without whom there wouldn ' t have been a yearbook. Lastly and especial- ly, the yearbook editors and their faithful advisor should be given a pat on the back for going through all that hell and asking nothing in return. Can we go back to bed, now? 1 1- wv K TOM N A fRy feB mil 1 gif r T ?rjfj : It MONTY PYTHON ' S FLYING CIRCUS i as E«. Sdk
