The firey sun is sinking quickly in the west and the clouds are red and yellow, beautifully colored, but slowly turning gray and dull once more. The sky slowly becomes black and the world is asleep. Most of the world, that is. Some Minnechaug students are busy until after mid- night, studying for an Advanced Biology test, writing a history paper due the next day, or writing all of their yearbook copy before tomorrow ' s deadline. The student is huddled over his desk, furiously scribbling, not caring what he is scribbling by this tine. There is quite a bit of yawning, eye rubbing, looking at the clock. Many students give up and regret it the next day when the teacher announces, O.K., now we ' re going to have a quiz on last night ' s work. Others don ' t do their home- work! Eventually all fall asleep and dream of a land where homework is against the law and school consists of watching movies and having parties.

Stu- dents have matured and with their growth, shared many new experiences. During the summer, new friendships were made and the old ones strengthened. Summer break gave students a chance to analyze the direction in which their futures were headed, while they still enjoyed life with spare time, just as summer passes, so does high school. We should combine memories of the past and hopes of the future with the present. Remember, we live in reality, not in the idealiza- tion of remembrances. MB I ■■■m 7 ' Z Contact can be so easy and yet commu- nication can be impossible, or close to it. It is one thing to deep in contact, but to keep in communication is what ' s important. One needn ' t speak nor write to communicate, one need only to understand. -Jo!-,- Massidda Dawn. The door opens on another day, another revolution of our vast, changing world. The reds and pinks spill carelessly over the horizon, licking color into the dull mountains and trees. Soon, a brilliant sphere is visible, peering over the moutain tops. Birds sing, insects chirp, and the stillness is broken. While this amazing display of natural won- der occurs, thousands of students are waking to begin a new day in Hampden and Wilbra- ham. Alarms are sleepily turned off and stu- dents try to become human again at 6:30 in the morning. Not an easy task! Once in school, many people wake up easi- ly. For others, A-Blocfc is forty-four more minutes to sleep. By B-Block almost all stu- dents are wide awade and ready to spend another exciting day at Chaug. Amanda Nelligan spciiu iiiiiffi ppS fFv ll ggKBto ' t SENIORS t What does the future hold for you? I have no answer, but I hope you do. Think of yourself as a piece of clay, that you, yourself, can mold in any way. In your hands lies what ' s yet to come. Please be careful, walk don ' t run. You could do nothing with that clay, but only an idiot would throw it away; bit by bit until no clay remains then life won ' t seem like fun and games. Right now you can fiddle with that clay, but eventually that clay will rot away. Or, you could give your clay, your future, to another and let them make your decisions like a mother. Don ' t let them mold you into what they see. You ' d become a creatio n of what they want you to be. You ' d forever feel obligated to them, for they made you what they believe is a gem. You would belong to them until the end of time. This is no joke, it is no rhyme. The best choice is to use your mind, your imagination, and your devoted time. Working slowly with that clay you ' d be forming a sculpture beautiful in every way. Molding exactly what you want to be, it would be worth the drudgery. Of course you ' d be making mistakes along the way, but at least they ' re yours, nobody elses, you can say. Mold that clay into something that people will admire, for then, you ' d never be a victim of satire. You ' d be someone that people will respect, honor, and love. That clay could be something that you could be proud of. What does the future hold in store? I pray to God you choose the right door. ouble Eagle II makes First Atlantic balloon crossing • Camp David Middle East Summit • Ali loses, regains title againsi CLASS OFFICERS Tim Ross, Preside From the kick-off dance to the day of graduation, the senior class officers worked as a team. You may know a few of them individually as the captain of the boy ' s ski team, or the senior awarded Nicest Smile , but as a group they re- present the Class of 1982. The four officers, Tim Ross (Presi- dent), John Metzger (Vice-President), Pam Getchell (Secretary), and George Quirk (Treasurer), along with advisor Mr. Mina, began planning long before the year started. Although the never- ending quest for senior privileges seemed a fiasco at times, it was only a part of the plans made and accom- plished for the class. The talents of all four officers were pushed to the limits as they became ex- perts on turkeys in November, cap mea- surements in December, and graduation speeches in January. The officers hope to have provided the best possible memories for the class of ' 82. In the years to come visions of Tim Ross dressed as Diaperman for Halloween, and Pam Getchell straining to measure graduation cap sizes while standing on a chair will be mixed with the bittersweet memories of the last dance at the prom and that moment at graduation when you realize that your childhood is over and the world awaits.

Although you had a full schedule with coaching and classes, you always managed to lend an ear to suggestions. Instead of making private decisions, you presented your ideas and the essential information which allowed the officers to decide the course of the class. Your tireless pursuit of Senior Privilege h the Class of ' 82 really meant to you. Mr. Mina, you made our class a trend setter by agreeing with us to eliminate the Junior-Senior Work Weekend, calendar drive, and banquet and by reinstat- ing the Senior Breakfast. The Class of ' 82 thanks you and will always remember you more as a friend than an advisor. With love, The Class of ' 82 CLASS HISTORY 1978-1979: We arrived in 1978, and the year of ' 82 seemed so far away. Intimidated or not by the notorious Alcohol, Pot, and Drugs scandal in the Springfield Newspaper the year before, we charged into the new world of Minnechaug life. At first confused by rotating blocks and maze-like hallways, we eventually began to discover the difference between the letter M . for the hall, and A , for the block. Finally, after watching The Gate at the Tinkam entrance be demolished and rebuilt, only to be demolished again, and noting how the newly erected speed bumps cut the number of tickets issued to speeding school busses drastically, we settled into normal freshman life. Each of us soon found how much Minnechaug had to offer. We experienced our first pep-rally, sitting dumbly in the bleachers as the cheerleaders tried to teach us the Battle of the Classes Cheer; started attending home football games on Saturdays, making the top center bleachers the home of the all-exclusive freshmen rowdie section; and reluctantly took the plunge, literally into freshman pool. The spring brought our first class fundraiser, the car wash, which although not very profitable, brought us together as a class and showed our spirit. As the year came to a close we lost our Class Advisor, Miss Winetrout, and stumbled through Arena for the first time. 1979-1980: We started sophomore year with the comforting realization that we were no longer the lowest form of life at Minnechaug and the stabilizing force of our new and enthusiastic Advisor, Mr. Mina. Right away we were given the opportunity to prove how tough we really were in more interesting gym courses like Project Adventure and Basic Lifesaving. The latter eventually taught us water rescue if we would keep from being drowned by our unexperienced friend and partner during the course of each class. The former emphasized both teamwork and individual motivation in activities like scaling a 15 foot wall, and crossing a log suspended 25 feet in the air. Then, there was the big fundraiser, the Candy Sale. We were instantly transformed into miniature salespersons who wouldn ' t take No for an answer. Our persistant sales pitches paid off, as our candy sale became the most lucrative class fundraiser in Minnechaug ' s history. We were a much more vocal group at the Pep Rally this year (some even thought we out-yelled the Seniors!), and as the year wound down, we received our rings. With this, came the tradition of turning the ring 82 times for luck. Was it just a coincidence that turn number 82 (the one with an accompanying kiss) came up with who we thought was the best looking guy or girl? 1980-1981: As Junior year arrived, we had climbed the ladder to become official upperclassmen. With our new position in the school, we discovered some of the least popular aspects of high school life — PSAT ' s, SAT ' s, and ACH ' s. Standardized College Board tests, whichever you took, there was always that same cold feeling in the pit of your stomach. Another horror of Junior year was Disco. On the positive side, most of us gained our long awaited driver ' s licenses, and with them, a new unequaled freedom. There were also more great football games and our teams push all the way to the Super Bowl at UMASS where they lost a close one to Westfield. The Punk Rock dance was a first. Once again, our spirit and salesmanship proved outstanding as our magazine drive became another record breaker. Finally, the many changes instituted, including a new bell schedule, shorter days, the 4:00 late bus, and final elimination of snack break, all foreshadowed the possiblity of even greater changes on the horizon as Proposition 2 Vi was passed by the voters. The year ended with uncertainty about the jobs of many teachers and the future of many programs, but the spirit of the Class of ' 82 was undiminished and we worked, relaxed, and partied the summer away in preparation for the Big Year. 1981-1982: Senior year started, surprisingly, with a newly positioned Arena. Other factors of Minnechaug life stayed the same, like a student parking lot littered with trash and broken glass. There were traditional fall activities like the Kickoff Dance, which although not well attended, was a great time for all who did go. Every one danced the night away, and the Senior girls did their best impression of a Las Vegas chorus line while the Black Apple Band played New York, New York . The Turkey Raffle, the endless fight for Senior Privilege, new exorbidant prices for the same old lunches, and our class love for dressing-up will all be remembered. From Halloween to the Outrageous Garb Dance to Hat Day, many ingenious costumes evolved. The rest of senior year was a whirl of working, studying, partying, and college applications. As the year progressed and our high school career waned, we enjoyed the 50 ' s Day Dance, distribution of class mugs. Senior Breakfast, and the Big Two , the Prom and Graduation. These memories of our trend-setting class would mark the end of one phase in our lives, and our passage through one of the many important doors of life into yet another.

Sent away for in September, the little booklets collect dust on the desks of seniors for several months. This is known as procrastination. As deadlines approach (often December 31). potential college candi- dates scramble to get their applications out. The first pan is easy. It usually consists only of one word fill-ins. These, however, are followed by the ys, which can prove to be insurmountable obstacles, What is your definition of success, and how do you hope to attain it in your lifetime?

Donnelly Christine Donoghi CARS When Minnechaug students receive their driver ' s licences as ju- niors, driving a car is really just a novelty. However, by the time we are seniors, many of us have our own cars, and driving plays a very important part in senior life. The majority of cars in the student parking lot are those of seniors who have paid the $5 to park on that glass-littered expanse. This is the first step towards the freedom a car allows you because it enables you to catch some extra sleep without worrying about the school bus, leave school early on permanent dismissal, or even take a break from- the cafeteria fare by skipping out to lunch (as long as you don ' t get caught). Also, a car provides transportation to work, to any weekend activities around town, or anywhere else you might want to go with friends (shop- ping, skiing, the beach). The only drawback to this new mobility is the cost. Seniors spend much time budgeting their money so they can stretch their paycheck to cover gas, repairs, etc. Despite the expense, you won ' t find a senior willing to trade the freedom a car allows for the dollars that t lie Stargell • TIME PASSED THEM BY: John Wayne • Aurthur Fiedler • Nelson Rockefeller • Thurmon Munson Germany ' s Helmut Sen t Doug Gatchell Pamela J.

Anytime, anyplace, and anywhere, it was now our turn to party. It was on these occasions that the class felt closest, creating memories that would last a lifetime. The essential elements to most parties were, first of all, an occasion- — Halloween, Christmas, New Year ' s Eve, a vacation, a day off, a half day, a skip day, or eventually, graduation. Second, a place devoid of parents was needed, such as a house, a road, the woods, or Lake Mark (when it got warm). At this location of loud music to suit your particular taste, blared over a home or car stereo, was required. The final element, of course, was all the partying materials you desired. This meant different things to different people. But, no one will ever forget those runs, or the taste of cold after it ' s been sitting in your trunk for an hour in the middle of January.

Be WORKING Various extracurricular activities can occupy a student ' s spare time. They extend from basketball to chess team, from Model Congress to Internation- al Club, and from library aide to I.aCrossc statistician. However, for some- students this variety of activities is not enough. To compensate for this void, people turn to the outside world in search of employment. Students work weekly for a paycheck which will be used as fun money. ' ' These funds support the Friday night date and also pay for gas. For the most part, however, college-bound employees bank their money to later pav the high cost of tuition. Fast food restaurants such as Friendly ' s, McDonald ' s, and Wendy ' s em- ploy a large number of students. Certain grocery stores and drug stores, along with many Eastfield Mall businesses, serve as employers to many- others. Seemingly, State Line Potato Chip Company and fast food restau- rants require a maximum work effort. Merchandise stores and dining restaurants might demand a lesser effort.

No, this isn ' t a new strain of Russian Flu, it means hello in Turkish. This year Minnechaug students are having a wonderful opportuni- ty to brush up on their basic Turkish skills through Yuksel Atav, AFS student from Turkey. Yuksel is living with the Clapp family in W ' ilbraham. Yuksel ' s accomplishments this year have been outstanding. Then he arrived here in late August, Yuksel ' s English was limited, but by Christmas he was as fluent as the rest of us. Yuksel also received the best actor award for his performance in the One Act Play Festival. The majority of this year has been a constant exchange of Turkish and American customs with Yuksel. Many of us have picked up Turkish words, foods, customs and other things. Yuksel was introduced to peanut butter, charades, and football. We ' re all very lucky to have been given the opportu- nity to learn more about the Middle East. Thanks. Yuksel. Jeffrey H. Leven Christopher J.

AFS is not a what, but a who. and one of those who ' s is Adrian Merdoffer. exchange student from Switzerland. Adrian : with the Badger family this year as part of the American Field Service- Program. In Switzerland, Adrian has to take a set program of courses, so he enjoyed being able to select his own courses here at Minnechaug. His favorites have been U.S. History Seminar with Ms. Brewer and Psychology. He has also been an active participant in the International flub and he was a stage manager for the One Act Play Festival in the fall. Adrian was first introduced to the States in Maine where he wal able to learn how to water ski. And while Ml. Tom is a long way from the Swiss Alps, Adrian did enjoy a lot of skiing this winter and it has become one of his favorite winter sports along with ice skating. Thanksgiving and Christmas American style were two of Adrian ' s favorite experiences. Turkey, pumpkin pie and pumpkin bread are among his new food favorites. All of us who have come to know Adrian this year feel fortunate to have made a good friend and to have learned many things about Switzerland. For many years to come, I ' m sure we will all remember Adrian. George G. Quirk IV Laura Ann Radkowski Mohammad G.

Our Danish visitor reports that he loves our school and return to Minnechaug during our Christmas vacation. (If only all of us had as much enthusiasm!) Besides school work. Soren has been involved wirii the Youth Fellowship Group of the Wilbraham United Church. Youth Fellowship has kept him occupied, but Soren has also been working on something else. His hope is to get his driver ' s license while he is in the United States. So, although his enthusiasm for Minnechaug may not seem typical, the dream of possessing a driver ' s license for the first time, all of us know well. It is basic similarities like this that have enabled many of us not to label Soren a foreign student but to accept him as a fellow teenager and friend. W0!

His home is a thriving industrial city of half a million people. Playing the piano and participating in a political par- ty are two of his primary diversions. Does this sound like the profile of a student attending school here at Minnechaug? Well, believe it or not, is is! His name is Roland Strassburger from Duisburg, Ger- many. He is staying with the Moores of Wilbraham and is a Sen- ior at our school. Roland has found many differ- ences the United States and Ger- many. They have ranged from rela- tively small discoveries, like finding that he prefers the sausage back home to that of the U.S.; to major insights into American life, includ- ing the fact that our educational sys- tem allows students less freedom than the more liberal German one does. Overall, Roland has enjoyed his stay in America, but says he won ' t mind returning to the quieter homelife of Germany without those, lousy T.V. commercials bothering you every fifteen minutes.

Drawn forward by the indifferent march of time, I am forced to say farewell to this place and these memories of mine. Sometimes afraid of not being able to remember I yearn for the bold, warm skies of last September where I still had a year, and images formed so clearly. But this is folly, and will cost one dearly; Stare too long at yesterday, and you squ ander today. Cherish your memories, but worship them not For those who live for yesterday die and quickly rot. Memories worth saving are with you to stay; they won ' t go away- So go forth and make tomorrow even better than today.

' f IN MEMORY OF SUSAN JONES DECEMBER 12, 1943 TO DECEMBER 13, 1981 That ' s good, but I ' m sure you can do better; keep on going. Susan Jones kept on going, serving as head of the English Department at Minnechaug for 10 years. While pushing her students to achieve goals higher than they imagined possible, she set standards exceeded only by those she set for herself. Having Miss Jones as a teacher was an experience I will never forget. Sometimes I would get so angry when after I had worked on a paper for hours, she would rip it apart with her red marker. As the year went on, I, along with the rest of my class, came to respect and admire her. Her enthusiasm and love for teaching had come across to each of us. Once or twice a month she would miss class, usually on a Friday. I have to go into Boston, she would say. It wasn ' t until half-way through the year that I discovered she was going into Boston for cancer treatment. When she was in school, she would stay after with students any day they asked her to. She was always there, eager to help us with anything. Before Christmas vacation last year, I was having a hard time with my term paper for her course in Research and Contemporary Lit. She gave me her phone number and told me to call her if I needed help. One day, frustrated and almost in tears, I called her. I had no qualms about making the call because I knew she wouldn ' t mind helping me. She treated me not as a student but as a friend who needed help. I will never forget that phone call. In her time at Minnechaug, Susan Jones had a great impact on the school, the English Department, and her students. We will remember her as a dedicated and determined teacher giving us her best, bringing out our best, and cheering us on when we succeeded.

The steam radiators hiss the spirits ' message: Let us out to live again Amid the people of this house.

Robinson f p 6 V AUTOGRAPHS J k tv V F m The Fall of 1981 was a rebuilding season for the Falcon football team. Although the team played with determination and pride, Minnechaug had a winless record. There were too many obstacles to overcome: a new coaching staff, a new and tougher conference, and a relatively young, inexperienced squad. This year ' s Captains, Todd Schwendenmann and Kevin Parks, were to be commended for their leadership. Other Seniors were Tim Connors, Kevin Goudreau, Anders Hedelin, Todd Larson, Ted Sares, Jim Szmyt and Ed Yazel. Todd Schwendenmann, Tim Bishop and Freshman Glen Garvey were defen- sive standouts, while Doug Keith and Steve Rymsza made some outstanding pass receptions from Quarterback Rick Thorpe. The hard running of backs Dave Gwatkin and Kevin Parks, and the fine kicking of Anders Hedelin, our Swedish exchange student, sparked the team. This year ' s coaching staff included Head Coach, Joe Kominski, Assistant Coaches, Art Mina, Rick Nanartowich and Jim Punderson, and dedicated Train- er, Hal Miller. A well-attended banquet, including players, cheerleaders and their families, helped to ease the disappointment at the end of the season. With eighty percent of the team returning next year, Falcon football should rise again to the heights of previous seasons. Football tradition will not fall at Minnechaug. , _ . . _,, ° by Rick Thorpe The crowd cheers the Falcons on to victory. 2. Andres Hedelin sets himself for the ck-off. 3.

The girls were then honored to cheer at a Celtics and Nuggets basketball game held in the Springfield Civic Center. The twelve member team is also responsible for coordinating Pep Rallies. All this work took a lot of time and practice guided by their coach Terry Owens and assisted by captain Jill Whyte. When asked what is most important to the cheerleaders, they unanimously answer, School spirit!!! No matter which Falcon team the cheerleaders are rooting for, if they ' ve gotten you P-S-Y-C-H-E-D, they have achieved their ultimate goal. u Piecuch. 5. A happy Jill Hetrick. 6.

John Metzger continually improved to become one of the premier half- backs in W-Mass by season ' s end, and P.J. Cambo steadied the offense and made things happen with his hard-nosed but skillful play. The defense, headed by sweeper Bob Downes with Eric Jones and Keith Pokorney at his sides and number 4 man, Mark Powell, frustrated opposing forwards all year.

Title and setting a new Western Mass. record with a total of 126.9 points. During the season each member had her share of outstanding performances but Minne- chaug ' s depth and team effort is what achieved success. All of the fourteen girls are dedicated athletes and worked hard to achieve their goals, yet enjoyed themselves in the process. Team secrets, jokes, stuffed animals, and silly superstitions kept the girls smiling and their spirit up. The team coached by Pat Lynch and Pat Casio consisted of Seniors Diana Nolte (Capt.), Kerry Costello, Wendy Peck, Emily Plumb, and Paula Mazur — who are wished the best of luck in the future. Juniors, Holly Corey and Lori Veto. Sophomores Denise Messier, Kristin Smith and of course the talent- ed young freshmen, Judy Parent, Karen Singiser, Shelly Sauve, Kris- ten White and Jackie Usher.

Anxious members f The Cross-Country team finished its season with a record of 7 wins and 4 losses, including a 6-meet winning streak. Having lost its top four runners to graduation last year, the varsity squad looked towards a rebuilding year. But with the arrival of many promising runners, along with the return of a few veterans, the team finished 5th in the league out of 12 teams. Juniors Dave Putnam and Danny Flynn were captains of the varsity squad. During the season, Danny Flynn and Mark McEathron led the team; Flynn taking 8 team first places and 3 meet first places, McEathron taking 4 team first places and 1 meet first place. McEathron also clocked the fastest time of the season on Minnechaug ' s 2.7 mile course: 14:27. Sophomore Ken Belanger ran as third man for the team after spending the summer training and racing in Alaska. Junior Mike Pilarcik held down the fourth position during the season. Dave Putnam, Sophomores Paul Snow, Jason Knapczik and Mike Vermette, and Freshman Dean Dickenson (who took 7th place in his division — Freshmen Boys — at the Coaches ' Invitational) battled throughout the season for the rest of the scoring places - fifth, sixth and seventh. Two girls infiltrated the boys ' team this year; Janet Sweetman, recovering from her sprained ankle, ran very well; and Freshman Sue Counos who is looking towards a promising future in running. 1.

(Wet weather soon became an indication of our game days.) Though an abundance of vigor and exuberance existed among the girls, the crush- ing loss of fifteen varsity players and two coaches took its toll, as is evident from our record. Aiding Coach Cope in motivating the team were Captains Anne Majkiewicz and Carrie Garvey. Carrie, along with Seniors Suzi Jones and Julie Tamsey and Junior Robin Benoit, led the Falcon offense. They were assisted by the midfield links Anne Paulhus, Beth Insley, Sonda Springer and Kathy Tamsey. Anne Majkiewicz was truly outstanding as center halfback diminishing many a threat. The strength of the team rested primarily in our defense with excellent goal tending by Lauren Rigney. Halfbacks Linda Sattler, Cindy Byrne, Mary Sullivan, and sweepers Tami Rae and Gayle Sherman all put in a good effort. Maybe our record wasn ' t the greatest, but we had fun playing field hockey and that ' s all that counts. ,- , c . „ „„„ Gayle Sherman 1. Senior Anne Majkiewic2 at the face off. 2.

They were undefeated in all of their meets, including the one against long-time rival West Springfield. The team went on to win the Western Mass. Championship, a title not held by the team since 1967. A major reason for this year ' s success was the hard work of coach Keith Lomas. He has been with the school ' s gym team for the past four years and has worked hard to build a strong squad. He was assisted by Sean Crowley who did a fine job in his first year as coach. The backbone of this year ' s team was freshman Curt Holdsworth. Although this was Curt ' s first year at Minne- chaug, he is by far the best gymnast this school has ever had. He holds the school record for almost every event and took three first places on the pommel bars, parallel bars, and high bar in Western Mass. He placed second on the other three events. Some of our other outstanding members were Jim Beaudry with the school record on vaulting, a 9.0. He also placed on both vaulting and ring at Western Mass. Captain Mike Moody gave a good performance at West- ern Mass. with awards for floor excercise, vaulting, and pommel horse. Also earning awards were Mike Landa and Mike Branconnier. Next year ' s team shows great promise with the loss of only one senior, Mike Moody. Jim Beaudry, Dave Schafer, Brian Parks, Greg Robinson, and Mike Bran- connier will all be returning as seniors. The team would like to thank Keith Lomas, Sean Crowley and the coaches of the girl ' s gymnastic team for making this a successful year for all of us. Dave Schafer 1.

Seven wins, six losses and three hard fought ties summed it up for the girls ' varsity soccer team this year. Captains, Mindy Harris, Jacquie and Jennifer Willson led a 21 squad team to a third place finish in the A-division. All-Western Mass. Jacquie Willson accumulated seven goals and five assists at the center half-back position. Mindy Harris recorded 3 shut-outs against some top- notched teams, using her heroic diving and blasting kicks (ave. 60 yds game). Jen Willson was hampered by a knee injury at the beginning of the season but recovered quickly and made a good comeback. She was amongst the top scorers in the league.

They fixed their eyes on making it into the Division II Finals at the Civic Center, but due to a loss of upperclassmen and returning starters, the team was unable to reach their goal. The only two returning lettermen were Lance Castonguay and Kevin Corser, both serving as the nucleus of a rebuilding team. The rest of the Falcons included guard Jim Pickering and nine underclassmen. The Falcons will be at full strength, though, next year with three exceptions (the seniors), of course. Starters this year included Sophomore Dave Mendoza (11.9 points and 5.8 rebounds per game), Dave Pickering (5.9, 3.1), and Steve Rymsza (8.7, 6.9). Castonguay ended up with 11.5 points and 5.4 rebounds per game, while Corser was team high with 13.4 pts. and 8.1 rebounds. Under the direction of Coach Jim Girotti, the squad posted a winning percentage just under .500. However, the future only looks bright for Falcon basketball. Quite possibly the Division II Finals and trip to the Civic Center could become a reality.

Diving coach Kate Griswold, an experienced diver, coached the divers on to a productive season. Marie Ryan, a senior at Springfield College, aided Coach Laing throughout the season. Manager Peggy O ' Shea, a senior, donated her priceless time to the team. The strong team members were senior captain Sharon Corey (div- ing), junior Joanna Stoeber (butterfly and individual medley), sopho- mores Daria Dolecki (50 yd. and 100 yd. free-style) and Lisa Riddle (individual medley and back-stroke), and freshman Karen Griswold (200 yd, and 500 yd, free-style). The rest of the team members provided added depth to the team. Juniors Holly Corey, Mary Jarvis, and Tammy Trombley, sophomores Tracie DeGrandpre, Kate Hegarty, Wendy Holbrook, and Rose Smith provided the team with strong backup swimmers. Thirteen of the twenty-four member team were newcomers, many with no previous competitive experience.

A strong nucleus of juniors and seniors were returning to the team and promised the Falcons a chance to take the cup. Unfortunately, their aspirations were dashed early in the year. Several players decided to go to prep school, and the team lost the services of outstanding junior defenseman Ron Troie via an injury. Later in the season a rash of misfortunes crippled the team. A number of J.V. ' s were promoted to replace nine varsity losses and have proved competitive replace- ments. Team Seniors P.J. Cambo, Eric Jones, Jim May, and Capt. Larry Lloyd experienced a disappointing year, but they continued to play with intensity. Jones, Lloyd, and May have accounted for most of the team ' s goals and assists. Junior Keith Trombley anchored the goal- tending position along with P.J. Cambo. perhaps the team ' s greatest asset was its young players. Sophomores Scott Brown, Jeff Debonee, Pat Kendall, Jim Plante, and Freshman Brian Stearns are the promis- ing stars of the future. First-year coach Martin Kibbe has given his all. He will have a strong nucleus of young players plus a seasoned group of juniors and seniors to build for the future. Next year ' s Falcons under Coach Kibbe ' s guidance will be formidable.

This year it seemed as though we never started playing up to our true potential until we were down by fifteen-twenty points and then we were pressed for time and came up short four or five points. We did, however, improve on just about everything this year, from team spirit to shooting foul shots. In this aspect we certainly had a winning season! Seniors Lore Simpson, Jennifer Willson, and Jacquie Willson each had their big nights with eighteen points each, while Beth Libby hit the double figures rebounding in nearly every game. Janice Jor- dache Jordon improved immensely on both ends of the court and Sharon Flagg added some sharp shooting on the wing. Next winter should be a prominent one, as Junior Kathy Murphy will be back playing the role as pt. guard along with sharp shooter Karen Madden. Heidi Rist and Mary Miller gained valuable exper- ience this year and should be tough little cookies ' under the boards next year. Well, we had a lot of fun although we didn ' t make the tournament.

Senior Carrie Garvey had a good year, often finishing in the top ten in Western Mass. Sue Jones, also a senior, helped lead the team to a second place finish. Heather Karlson, a returning junior, was able to improve her winning times as the year went on. Lisa St. Germain, also a junior, finished with top times for the team. Wenda Luff, in her third year of racing, brought in consistently good times to help the team. Bonnie Williams a junior, who was a newcomer this year surprized everyone and produced winning times.

Who would ever think that after last year ' s Division I domination by the men ' s ski team there would be an encore by the new 1982 version? But so the Western Mass. title went again to Minnechaug after what has to be the most competitive season in our history. The team spent the first two races apparently warming up to the challenge ahead, and the remainder of the year speaks for itself. Outstanding players for the year were Captain George Quirk, Jeff Shay, Glenn Rahilly, and Mark Pincince. Even with the loss of General Quirk as well as other senior veterans John Metzger and Joe McGranaghan, the remaining men will still return as an all-star team next season. The proud tradition of Coach Art Mina will fall into the hands of up-coming racers like Rich Carrigan, Tim Blomberg, Miklos Ats, Ted Moore, and Mike Pilarcik, and freshman Curt Rahilly.

The Performing and Visual Arts Society is a very complicat- ed name for a club whose purpose is rather simple. PAVAS is a charitable organization whose members plan and run fundraisers during the course of the school year in order to make money to support the arts in the greater Springfield area as well as to don- ate to many deserving charities. Recipients of recent PAVAS do- nations include Public Television station WGBY, the environmental group Green Peace, the Judy Du- bour Cancer Fund, and our own Smoke Signal newspaper. Fundraising plans included the Carwash-Bakesale in October, the Mistletoe sale at Christmas time, and a raffle and Talent Show be- fore June. Social activities for club members also played an important role in the club. Students and their families enjoyed the Annual Pot- Luck dinner in late October, the caroling and Christmas party night was a success, and at least two club trips were planned for the spring. So, proving that its simple for- mula works, the Performing and Visual Arts Society combined fun- draising and club activities for an- other banner year in ' 81- ' 82. by Jim O ' Shaughnessy PAVAS Officers: (1 to r) Stacey Hill (Treasurer), Wendy Peck (Secretary), Anne Paulhus (Vice President), Jim O ' Shaughnessy (President v AlE SoWdoy (US 10:00- D-30 jH««a mkcoHx of Go 2 en Student Government is one organi- zation that is always active. Even though the members miss a block ev- ery once in a while, you cannot really call it a freebie when they end up doing as much as they would in class. Once again the Student Govern- ment served as an important link be- tween the student body, faculty, and administration. They sponsored dances such as the Outrageous Garb Dance, a Christmas Semi -Formal, a regular dance and a punk rock dance. The government also benefitted other clubs in the school and community with large donations earned by fund raising events. Meetings are run by parliamentary procedure under the direction of Chairman Anthony Roncalli and Moderator Christine Boyajian. An agenda is distributed at the start of meetings and followed with feedback from the representatives. Next time you pass by the noisy classroom, remember these kids are working for our school and for Min- nechaug students. Christine Boyajian ra Student Government: Seniors: T. Ross, J. Metzger, P.

They are small, white, furry rodents of circumpolar distribu- tion, which are noted for their an- nual mass migration to the sea. What are they? Who Cares? The As Schools Match Wits team does. Knowing that the answer to that question is Lemmings, is just as important as knowing the defini- tion of the word Splenetic. The team studies subjects that include music, sports, literature, and gen- eral knowledge. This year ' s team consisted of David Magill, David Pickett, Pam Getchell, Mary Megiola, and alter- nate Mike Schnurr. They put hours of hard work into preparing for their television appearance. This involved memorizing ques- tion cards, reading through plot outlines, and meeting at Man ' s or Pam ' s house for some three against two competition. The three departing seniors and advisor Mr. Musselman have great aspirations for next year ' s team and wish them the best of luck. David Pickett I o Minnechaug Regional High School has three bands: the Con- cert Band consists of mostly un- derclassmen, the Wind Ensemble is made up of more advanced play- ers, and the Jazz Workshop is the band that contains primarily jazz instruments such as trombones and saxophones. All three bands meet daily, and their members receive five credits per year. Band is basically like any other subject; the students are as- signed homework, which is to practice regularly. Much practice is necessary because many of the musical pieces are extremely diffi- cult. Members are also expected to take private lessons in addition to their own practicing. The con certs themselves can be consid ered exams ; if a student hasn ' done his practicing, his perfor mance will demonstrate this. The bands play at many differ ent events throughout the year. They can be heard at the home football games, playing the Na tional Anthem and the Fight song The Wind Ensemble plays at the Winter or Christmas Concert. The Concert Band and Wind Ensemble play at the Pops Concert, with which dinner is traditionally served. The Jazz Workshop plays at formal school functions such as the inductin of the members to the National Honor Society. Band members are enthusiastic indivi- duals, whose hard work pays off in brilliant performances. jm Tony Composes. ' ' Mexico or Bust! ' During the morning hours at Minnechaug, one can hear the three chorus groups, the Concert Choir, the Girls ' Chorus and the Madrical Singers, rehearsing in G-2. The Concert Choir has an i lary group called the Chamber Choir. Students who are involved with this must audition. The twen- ty best voices are then selected to perform as a group. The Chamber Choir sings for various social groups in the area. Mr. Amerman, chairman of the music department, is the director of all choral groups. He has great aspirations for the Madrica roup and hopes that they will be featured in a concert. The Winter Concert, which took place on December 15 was well received by the crowd. The concert included selections by the Chamber Choir, Ninth Grade Chorus, Madrigal Singers, and Concert Choir, all under the direction of Warren Amerman, and the Wind Ensemble directed by Charles Beeler. The highlight of the Wind En- semble ' s performance was a piece entitled, A Christmas Intrada written by Alfred Reed. Performing pianists in the cho- ral program were Stacey Hill, Kim O ' Connor, and Julie Consi- dine. Mark McEathron m What club at Minnechaug is the most spirited with over eighty ac- tive members and one active Ats? It ' s the Junior Classical League. The J.C.L. is comprised of Latin students interested in the classical era of Greek and Roman life. Activities sponsored by the J.C.L. this year were the Justin dance, the J.C.L. Player ' s produc- tion of Orpheus, the State Cata- pult Contest, the Massachusetts Ju- nior Classical League Volleyball Tournament, Senior Citizen ' s Day, the M.J.C.L. Convention, and last- ly, Family Night. The Junior Classical League ' s advisor is Mrs. Ats, a dedicated teacher whose enthusiasm shaped the J.C.L. into a worthwhile and popular club at Minnechaug.

Second Row Grogan, Ms. Brewer ( Advi The Mathletes compete in six different mathematical categories including arithmetic, trigonom- etry, and analytical geometry. The questions are very difficult and take much concentration, but the simplest of errors may cost the meet. They compete with nineteen other schools in Western Massa- chusetts. The Mathletes have a very impressive record; in the past six years, under the guidance of Victor Granaudo, they have earned five Western Mass. titles. They hope to do as well this year. Each year, the members of the Model Congress Club, with their advisor, Ms. Brewer, conceive and prepare a Bill to compete with those of other high schools throughout the state and region at AIC ' s annual Model Congress. The Bill is carefully developed, and its battle worthiness is tested in mock debates in which the members honestly attack their own Bill to discover its vulnerable spots and correct them. Minnechaug has been very suc- cessful with the Congress. In pre- vious years, our team has had its Bills commended by Governor King. bv Mark Powell Theatre Arts was not just an- other English course. Besides all of the tedious assignments that were accomplished, the classes found time to perform a winter production on stage in Minne- chaug ' s auditorium. On December 11 and 12 in 1981, Dr. Heiney ' s C-Block and G- Block Theatre Art classes per- formed outstandingly the classic play A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. The classes had their own di- rectors, stage manager, and cos- tume and prop person. These stu- dents along with the help of gifted actors and actresses made the show a success. The course is misleading to some as an all-play-and-no-work course, which is an inaccurate statement. Without a doubt, the class has a meaningful happy me- dium.

Miss Alquist, the advisor, helped to organize the dates and make sure that all events were covered well. Senior Wendy Peck, president, and ju- nior Priscilla Robinson, Vice President, took care of the rest. The Hostesses and Hosts helped out at the fall open houses, freshmen orientation, the National Honor Society In- duction Ceremony, Pops Con- certs, and other school activi- ties. A new addition to the group this year were the hosts. Minne- chaug has never had male hosts before. There ' s a rumor circu- lating between the hostesses that the fine hosts are adding a spice of life to Minnecha halls. Like any other group of editors in the past years, the 1981-82 Fal- con Editors had their share of ups and downs. But, when everyone works together like this bunch of kids, everything was bound to work out O.K. — and it did! There were the good times, the laughs and secrets with your co- editor, the feeling of accomplish- ment when your deadline was met on time, and the ultimate feeling you receive while looking through this book. And there ' s the not-so- good times when your pictures weren ' t developed in time for yesterday ' s deadline, the deadly talks with the Advisor and Editor- in-Chief, and of course, the con- stant war between Smoke Signal vs. Yearbook. Although most of the Editors are Seniors, Anne, Pam, Beth, Jim, Martha, Anne, Jill, Sue, Sue, Sandy, Mark, and Cindy, our Ju- niors and Sophomores, Lisa, Dave, Sue, Amanda, and Linda, will come on in and rule the book next year. We had to say goodbye to our faithful old homeroom Y-l, and move right on up to the better room D-9. This s upposedly made more space and a few times, we actually heard annoucements!! Who has D-Block free to meet the photographer? Oh Yea, we ' re selling yearbooks both lunches today! Did you get the artwork boards yet? Deadline . . . When? . . . Today — Oh. Can you develop these pics? Fill out a form for Stevens! Lis- sen up you guys! % Talk to me! Need help? I ' m going nuts! — Those are really typical lingo from our Editors. Thanks ' 81- ' 82 Editors, you did a great job! by Anne Paulhus f The 1982 Falcon Staff has much to be accredited for. The help through those deadlines and the numerous little jobs assigned by the editors are all a part of the work they have accomplished this year. It ' s due to their efforts that the Yearbook managed to reach their advertising goal and keep the all important price of the Yearbook down. The Yearbook Staff was re- sponsible for all of the odd jobs the editors didn ' t have the time for. Without their hard work, the 1982 Yearbook couldn ' t have been completed. on e A Once again the Falcon Players under the direction of Steve Baily put on another fabulous One Act play contest. A lack of time and people made it difficult, but as usual all of the plays pulled through. As a matter of fact, the play Picnic on the Battlefield al- most didn ' t go on, but in the end they pulled things together and ended up winning best play. Their success was due to the efforts of Jean Albano, their director, who won best director; Sheryl Hicks, who was judged best actress; and Yuksel Atay, AFS student and best actor. Other outstanding perfor- mances came from Laurie Woo- dard — best supporting actress and Joe McGranaghan - best sup- porting actor for his performance in Growing Pains. All four plays and all the actors did an out- standing job and put on a great show! Joe McGranaghan The Emerald Key students in the class of ' 81 elected to convert its Society to the National Honor Society. This incorporates more of the student body. Minnechaug ' s first induction ceremony was held November 10, 1981. Forty-one ju- niors and seniors were selected by the chapter ' s faculty committee by meeting high standards for schol- arship, leadership, service and character. To be eligible for membership, sophomore students need a grade point average of 4.00, junior stu- dents need an average of 3.69 and seniors need a 3.33. Leadership and service are based upon the stu- dent ' s participation in at least two activities during the previous year. Character requires that student ' s records be free from serious disci- plinary problems. Minnechaug ' s chapter is active in the respect that the students perform services for the student body. George Proulx, coordinator of Guidance, is the advisor for this group. He is very enthusiastic about the National Honor Soci- ety ' s success here at Minnechaug. Class of 1982 —Jeanne M. Albano.

Led by Mr. Petzold, the group gets into all aspects of the world of photography. The year begins with instruction on basic camera handling and picture com- position, and gradually progresses through developing of prints and negatives. Finally, the group visits a professional studio and starts to look into the aspects of profes- sional photography. Left to Right; K. Moriarty, Mr. Petzold (Advisor), R. Remaly, H. Zawacki, C.

This year the Folk Festival featured some of Minnechaug most talented musicians perform- ing live in concert. The organizers of this year ' s Folk Festival included solo vocal- ists, solo pianists, vocal duets, and a full blown rock band. The audi- ence was receptive and got their one dollar ' s worth out of the per- formance. This event showed the large degree of musical talent which exists in Minnecha dents. GRADUATION 1982 . ♦ • •1 to ' IT s « Although the skies were cloudy with the threat of rain, nothing could dampen the spirits of the graduating Class of 1982 on June eleventh. As the class members pa- raded onto the football field to the traditional Pomp and Circum- stance, each one offset the seri- ousness of the occasion by carry- ing a balloon which were eventu- ally all deposited in a pile by the podium. Speeches were given by Dave Pickett, exchange student Anders Hedelin, and class secretary Pam Getchell. Possibly one of the most moving readings of the evening, however, was a poem from Class Advisor Art Mina. Other memora- ble moments included Bob Downes and Howard Barouxis kissing Miss Walinski, and Todd Larson cartwheeling onto the stage. As the ceremony came to a close, it could easily have been looked upon as an end, but to the Class of ' 82 it was really only the beginning. By Cathy Halgas 50 DAYS DANCE APRIL 30, 1982 Where else could you find seniors dressed in rolled up jeans, poodle skirts, lettermen sweaters, saddle shoes, leather jackets, greased back hair and dancing to The Twist, ? The answer ... at Minnechaug, of course, on April 30, 1982. The annual 50 Days Dance is the main start of the activities at the end of senior year. Everyone was out to have a good time just dancing the night away. And of course, appear- ances by the gang of Probers and the clique of Cheesedogs made the night successful. Also, George Quirk Lisa Schmidt will be long remem- bered as their Nerd fashions were quite accurate. SENIOR PROM BANQUET We ' ve loved these days. The Black Apple Band began playing, the young ladies and gentlemen left their tables and walked to the dance floor .... the 1982 Minnechaug Senior Prom had begun. Things were working out nicely after all. Was it only a few hours ago that my date had arrived and forgotten the cor- sage? And was it the same night my parents insisted on the perennial picture in front of the mirror? The pre-prom rties or the PPP ' s as they ' re called were actually fun! Waiting in line at Chez Josef for prom pictures gave every- one a chance to say Hi, don ' t you look great and If they could only see us in E Block gym class now. SENIOR BREAKFAST Cafeterias 2 and 3 were full, the food lines were long, and 300 high schoolers were busy talking, joking, or simply eating. A typical Minnechaug lunch period? Wrong! This scene was taking place at 7:30 a.m. rather than some time after noon. The participants were exclusively members of the Class of ' 82, and the event was definite- ly out of the ordinary. Early on this June 10 morning, Minne- chaug seniors had risen to catch their sen- ior breakfast. Class mugs and copies of the class will were distributed, yearbooks were exchanged, reminiscing about the prom, trips to the beach and other earlier senior week activities began, and plans for the class get-together later that day at Lake Mark were made. Finally, with stomachs full and class spirit running high, seniors moved on to their first grduation rehearsal and their final hours as Minnechaug undergraduates Left to Right: Coach Gitotti, D.

Senior Bob Downes averaged 80 for two matches. Junior Dave Gwatkin averaged Aram Vartanian who averaged 84.7 for ten matches. Junior Dave Gwatkin averaged 83.5 in ten matches and his best being 79. Number one player, sophomore Billy Downes, had an average of 78.2 for ten matches.

GIRLS ' TRACK „ The Girls ' track team this year enjoyed a terrific season. Last year ' s record was tough to compete with. Yet the girls pulled together and lost only one meet to their arch rival, Amherst. This loss never dulled the team spirit. The girls shouted in unison during the team warmups led by the five senior cap- tains, Eileen Voight, Celeste Ayers, Martha Bugbee, Beth Libby, and Sue Hesser. Every- one touched Speedy, as they recited the team prayer, ending with the traditional, Andale, Andale, Yee-hah!

Under the leadership of coach, Mike Stasack and senior Captains Todd Schwendenmann, Ke- vin Parks, Don Jacek and Kevin Corser, the team put winning combinations in each of the 17 events. In the weight events, Schwendenmann and senior Forrest Carlson, with sophomores Rick Thorpe and Troy Dickinson racked up numerous points. Seniors Jacek, Parks and Anders Hedelin, ruled the jumping events while juniors Dave Schafer and Mike Bran- connier pole-vaulted to victory. Junior Jim Beaudry tore up the track in the sprints while Kris Kober and Kevin Corser reigned supreme in the middle distance races. In the long distant races, junior Dan Flynn and sophomore Ken Belanger led consistent- ly in their event. Senior Doug Person, with sophomore Dave Mendoza took man places in the hurdles.

GIRLS ' SOFTBALL 16-1 Spirited — that ' s the best way to de- scribe the 1982 varsity Softball team. As in previous years, the Girls ' Varsity Softball team had a winning season. They attained first place in Divison B, with a 16-1 record, thanks to the hitting of Lisa St. Germain, Steph Spolzino, and Kerry Costello, and the pitching of Kim Morehouse and Jenni- fer Willson (in the ' 82 season, Jenny had a one hitter, and a two hitter, with a 8-1 record). The team made it to the Western Mass Finals. They beat Westfield, then they went on to triumphantly beat Chicopee (6- 5) who the Falcons fell to last year (5-2). The team dedicated their season to J.V. coach, Nancy Jaunhunan, who was killed in a car accident last spring. And, they played just the way Miss Jaunhunan would have wanted them to play — with spirit. First Row: C. Brusco, B. Williams, K. Madden, Ja. Willson, K. Morehouse, M. Harris, K. Costello, B. Willey.

The squad lost five tough games by one run and were very competitive for the entire season.

Ci ' MEXICO TRIP The Minnechaug Ensemble and Concert Band made it to Mexico this Spring after long months of fund raising. The band played concerts at a Mexican public school, the Mexi- can Police Academy and in Chapulte- pec Park, the city ' s largest. The high- light of the five-day trip was the adju- dication at Mexico ' s National Con- servatory of Music. The trip involved a great deal of sightseeing. The 85-member troupe visited the National Palace, the Me- tropolitan Cathedral, the Museum of Antropology and the ancient pyra- mids of Teotihuacan. The trip had its ups and downs but it was memorable and enjoyed by all.
