That ' s a fact, Jack. Bill Murray in Stripes Here ' s another fine mess you ' ve gotton us into. Oliver Hardy Falcons are small, powerful birds that are related to the hawk and can be found throughout the world. The falcons aerial strength and agility are excep- tionally good. They use this ability in combination with their powerful, curved, sharply taloned feet, to capture their prey. A small, curved, sharp beak with a tooth like projection is used to tear their food apart which, is a diet consisting of birds, small mammals, and insects. Falcons can be identified by their bare legs. The falcon is symbolic of the spirit of Minne- chaug; it is strong, free, and proud as it soars above all others. The falcon represents our school as it is the name of our athletic teams and school mascot. Who will Remember the life we know now? The close and distant relationships the moment of inner struggle and discovery of truth The glimpses of life which opened our eyes . . . The encounters that seemed so small but grew as we did who can remember? EMA ■ ■ • ■ ■ III Life is just a bowl of pits. Rodney Dangerfield I never think of the future. It comes soon enough.

On this day 32 year old, Sally Ride, America ' s first space- bound woman, and her crew began their jour- ney aboard the Space Shuttle Challenger. Ride ' s mission was to operate the Shuttles 50 foot long Remote Manipulator System, to pluck a German-built experimental package called the Shuttle Pallet Satellite out of the cargo bay and let it orbit freely into space. The Challenger flight was cut short on June 24th due to bad weather and made its prema- ture landing at Edward ' s Air Force Base. When asked why she was chosen for the flight, she answered, A good educational background and one that showed I could learn new things readily. 13 Minnechaug High .... School is a pattern of concrete, wood, glass, paint, and brick; yet it is people who make it unique. The best thing about the future is that it comes only one day at a time. Abe Lincoln Our task now is not to fix the blame for the past but to fix the course for the future. J. F. K.

UiiiMchaug Regional High School Media Center 621 Main Street Wilrjraham, Mass. 01095 Having completed another summer, we enter the new school year wiser and more mature. Summer break has given us the op- portunity to relax, enjoy ourselves, and grow through new experiences. It ' s given us time to sort out our feelings and thoughts for the future. As school begins we also begin to plan a direction for the new year, some of us for our lives. We anticipate reuniting with friends and also in making new ones whom we can share our good times and bad times with. Hopefully this year will be a terrific one for all people, not just here at Minnechaug, but throughout the world. ■ ■ I ■ ■ III ■ ■ • ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ take 1 scene seniors J minnechaug presents: the class of ' 84 starring Joseph M.

You grow up the day you have your first real laugh-at yourself. -Bernard Meltzer class officers Ted Moore (president), Mr. Martin Kibbe (class advisor), Rick Thorpe (vice president), Kelly Morissette (secretary), Carole Cibb (treasury). Some of Minnechaug ' s most enjoyable experiences were the result of the class officers ' hard work. Class president, Ted Moore, with Vice President Rick Thorpe, Secretary Carol Gibb, and Treasurer Kelly Morrissette, all worked closely together with Mr. Martin Kibbe (class advisor) to ensure some smooth, eventful years. Had they not taken the time to come up with unique ideas, organize activities, take care of paper work, and work well together; nothing would ' ve been accomplished nor been as successful! Freshman year, they spon- sored a dance in which the seventh and eighth graders were invited to Minnechaug. Sophomore year, with the support of the homeroom representatives, the class offi- cers promoted the Dunkin Donut ' s coupon drive. Addi- tionally, the traditional class ring sale occurred during sophomore year. Then, Ju- nior year was the year of the magazine drive, which was very unique in style. An as- sembly was held in the audi- torium, incentive prizes were shown, and a goal was set. Never before was our class spirit so evident. Finally, this class spirit was continued into Senior year, the Fifties Days Dance, the Senior Breakfast, the Senior Prom, the Senior Banquet, and finally, Gradu- ation. Thanks to our class officers and advisor; the class of 1984 now has four years of fond memories. Thank you all for such a successful class. 51 I, Carla Misisco, leave Nancy Merigian the dandy memories of scabdow ' s; Mike Vick- owski myself; Tony Ctires; Maureen McCaf- frey And I know who did it! .

Four years ago, when he be- came our class advisor, he had no previous experience as an advisor. He had no idea what he was getting himself into. It didn ' t stop him from taking the job. Mr. Kibbe was not bothered by all of the hassles, frus- trations, and time involved in work- ing with our class. He not only helped to make our funding drives a great success, but he increased the spirit and motivation of our class. Although he has been a hockey coach for twelve years, he was still willing to give the job his best shot. He believes that being a class advisor has made him a better person. He enjoys meeting people and learning from the students he works with so closely. He especially enjoyed work- ing with Ted Moore and our other loyal class officers. We can all say with honesty that Mr. Kibbe has made our four years here at Minnechaug interesting and rewarding. We wish him the best of luck in the coming years. £ ' ? administration ill I Superintendent, Francis P. Reddington Principal, Jerry A. Badger Assistant Principal, Helen A.

I rushed home from school to tell my mother the exciting events that had happened at school. As I burst through the door, I realized that my mother, Jean O ' Neil, was dead. That fact is one of the hardest facts I ' ve had to face up to, realizing my mother is dead. As tears trickle down my face one-by-one, my exciting event has left me, and I change to awareness-aware of the truth that my mother was more than a teacher, she was everyone ' s friend and she touched the lives of many. She loved Broadway, especially Joseph and Chorus Line. Listening to the things that my mother loved really upset me, but afterwards, I relaxed and slowly left my state of depression, knowing how many lives she filled with happiness and joy. jean O ' Neil went on, until she could go no further. She was most of all a mother; but also a teacher, a person who made many lives special, in her own loving way. I will never forget her, and anyone who is a part of her life will never forget her either. I can admit their is an emptiness in my life, but I rejoice in the times she gave me, instead of depressing myself in the fact that she ' s gone. Gone but not forgotten Your love we still feel You ' ll always be with us Mrs. O ' Neil You were always a friend beyond compare. You taught us that English took a great deal of care However, above all things that you prized you always loved life without compromise We ' ll always love you wherever you are but somehow I feel that your not all that far. candids 86 Thanks go out to the following for art work: Kirsten Karplus Carla Alberici Tracy Christianson Sandy Cooly Ann Fath Tess Ahlberg Kim Schelb Tracy DeGrandpre Dawn Shetler John Crafts Becky Wilson (specia Photo shy teachers: Diane Heiney Dr., English James Matroni, Ind.

Project Adventure is it- unlike any other class offered at Minnechaug. Project Adventure teaches the stu- dents to trust and cooperate with their classmates. Such events as the wobbily walk, the trust fall, and the wall are used in this interesting gym course.

Cheryl Ligarski Brian Lucas Roland Lucier Elizabeth Luczek Tawnne Luff I Loved You Enough Some day when my children are old enough to under- stand the logic that motivates a mother, I will tell them: I loved you enough to ask you about where you were going, with whom, and what time you would get home. 1 loved you enough to insist that you buy a bike that we could afford to give you with our own money. I loved you enough to be silent and let you discover that your hand-picked friend was a creep. I loved you enough to make you return a Milky Way, with a bite out of it, to a drugstore and confess, I stole this. I loved you enough to stand over you for two hours while you cleaned your room, a job that would have taken me fifteen minutes. I loved you enough to let you see anger, disappointment, disgust, and tears in my eyes. I loved you enough to admit I was wrong and ask for your forgiveness. I loved you enough to let you stumble, fall and hurt. I loved you enough to let you assume the responsibility for your actions at 6, 10, or 16. But, most of all, I loved you enough to say NO when you hated me for it. That was the hardest part of all.

The squad remained undefeated throughout the season while scoring a total of three points. The highlight of the season come in the last regular season game as the Falcons crushed arch-rival Classical, 35-14. It marked the first time in several years the Falcons beat the Bulldogs, and also meant a birth in the Super Bowl. Leading the team through this outstanding season were senior tri-captains Rick Thorpe, Geoff Thomas, and Karl Chambers. Thorpe and Chambers were top notch offensive backs along with thousand-yard gainer Dan Macero. Macero also led the team and league in touchdowns and total points. Also playing well offensively were seniors Mike Vicowski and Pete Sares and junior kicker Mike Trombley performed admirably while receivers Will Tyschen and Glen Garvey fought everything thrown to them. The defensive and offensive line was a key ingredient as they provided excellent blocking and pass coverage and accumulated many sacks and fumbles. Leading the way was Captain Thomas along with burly Sterling Dickinson, Ron Young, Bernt Auslanter, Pete Alberci and sophomore stu- dent Mike Chambers. Head coach Mr. Dave Bennett, in charge for only two years, was assisted by Mr. Golferi, Mr. Mina, Mr. Brunell, and Mr. Sullivan. Best of luck to the coaches and returning let- termen for another Super Bowl season next year. Dave Mendoza f •■■ ml mm Sk Co-Capt. Rick Thorpe and Karl Chambers.

She was appreciated and respected as was Senior Captain, Donna Farrell, whose efforts made the team the best. Seniors, Kris Gwatkin, Carole Gibb, and Tyna Hurley, all displayed their talents and showed much school spirit. The underclassmen made up most of the team and represented the team well. They were juniors, Stephanie Hersman, Alyssa Labine, Anne Tenbrook, Pam Smith, and Sharon and Tracy Christianson, along with sophomores Noel Rihm and Erin Tierney. The girls had many responsibilities this fall as they cheered regularly for football and soccer games, as well as organizing the pep-rally, which was a great success. Dave Mendoza Soph. Noel Rihm.

Leading the team were captains and three-year lettermen, Bill Gallant and Bill Downes. Gallant led the team in goals for the second straight year and Downes tallied the most assists. Both finished among the top ten in total points. Also supplying offensive firepower were Senior spark- plug, Joe Michaud and Sophomore Jeff Jones. The defense meanwhile was anchored by Senior fullback, Ted Moore, Sophomore, John O ' Shaughnessy, and all- star Senior goalie Jim Boucher, who consistently made spectacular saves. The Seniors Other members of the squad who played for their last year were back-up goalie, Rich Shults, fullback Tim Sullivan, lineman Bob Boilard, and halfback Frank Schmidt. Although the wins were few the team played exceptionally well on many different occasions. Against top-notch West Springfield they battled to a 2 - 2 tie and fought extremely hard against powerhouse Northampton before falling short 2-1.

The team tied for second in a strong B- division and earned a berth in the Western Mass. Tourna- ment. The Falcons lost a tough game to Ludlow, 3-2 to end their season. Led by captains Kim Mawaka and Karen Madden, the team won three games against A-division opponents in- cluding Cathedral, Chicopee, and Classical. Mary and Jodi Miller and Michelle Taylor led the scoring attack. The fullback line of Kelly Burke, Karen Madden, and Pam Morrisette kept the opponents from the goal. Halfbacks Sharon Nebel, Sherri Habel, and Anne Fabbri controlled midfield. Seniors Kim Mawaka, Karen Madden, Kelly Burke, Heather Rumplick, Michelle Methe, Maureen McCaffrey, Daria Dolecki, and Kelly Morrisette performed well each game. The team has a group of talented, experienced under- classmen ready to fill in the gaps left by the graduating seniors. Congratulations on a successful season and good luck in 1984!

Several teams faced Minn, with the attitude that it was going to be an easy victory. However, within the first few minutes of the game the Falcons showed their opponents what they ' re up against. The team put all it had into all he games and kept playing hard even when they were behind. Most of the team will be returning next year except for co-captains Rose-Marie Smith and Kathy Tamsey and Seniors Kate Hagarty and Wendy Holbrook.

Although the men ' s gymnastics team didn ' t win Western Mass., they were undefeated throughout their season, (4-0). The return of Junior Curt Holdsworth was a large asset to the team. Strong performances by Seniors Peter Kerr and by Juniors Ray Putnam and Kevin Holden were also contributions to the season. Coach Keith Lomas was another major reason for the continuing success of the team. This is Coach Lomas ' s sixth season with the men ' s gymnastics team, and he has carefully assisted and guided the members of the team. Congratulations to the 1983 boys gymnastics team!

The Fal- cons remained undefeated with a record of 11-0. This year, the female gymnasts were faced with trying to maintain the winning tradition established by previous teams. For the past three years the Falcons have won the Western Massachusetts Championship. The question this year was-could they possibly obtain it again? These fifteen attractive, talented, and dedicated gymnasts began training in Au- gust and continued training three hours a day, six days a week for 3 V2 months. With much determination, they worked hard to perfect routines in the four competi- tive events-uneven bars, floor exercise, balance beam, and side horse vaulting. Just how has the girls gymnastics team maintained their success? Well, it takes two dedicated coaches, Pat (Grinch) Lynch and Pat (Crash) Cascio, to inspire the team with valuable instruction, con- stant encouragement, and emotional sup- port. The teams managers, Carol Shine and Jon Burgess, were also, two very valu- able behind the scenes contributors.

The team won most of their games this year, includ- ing their last four, which got them into the Western Mass. Tournament. They played powerhouse Holyoke to the final seconds, but came up short, 68-70. Leading the Falcons to their successful season were Senior Captains Dave Mendoza and Bill Downes. Mendoza led the team in many offensive categories, including scoring 16 points a game, and rebounding 11 points a game. Downes quarterbacked the team and led in assists. Also starting for the Falcons was Senior center Troy Dickinson. Junior for- ward Bill Sullivan and Junior guard Dean Dickinson also played a vital role in the Falcon ' s success. Coming off the bench and playing well were Seniors Jim Barnard, Dave Strepka, and Juniors Mark Fegley, Scott Kazmarski, Brian Lucas, and Mike Trombley.

The girls biggest asset was in teamwork where everyone helped in the winning cause. Karen Madden led the team in scoring while Kathy Wrede, Marry Miller, and Pam Morssette controlled the defensive boards. Michelle Soukup controlled the offense at point guard and Lori Welch controlled the opponent ' s offense with her blocked shots. Jean Gurecki, Diana Grover, and Julie considine provided valuable play in clutch situations. Next year looks very promising with only three seniors graduating.

Please join me in a few moments during which each one of us may engage in private meditation. This is then followed by the Pledge of Allegiance and all kinds of important information, such as canceled classes. Did you ever wonder whose voice you were- listening to? Well, that person is an office aide. Besides morning announcements, the office aides work with attendance records, answering the telephone, sorting mail, and filing. Through this work, these aides get experience with office procedures and background material for a secretarial field. The secretaries who work in the office find the aides very helpful because they make their jobs a little bit easier. • ■ • ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ JL LI i« ■ ■ ■ I n nurses aides Are you planning to pursue a career in nursing?

They get experience with small medical emergencies as well as other basic office procedures. They help Mrs. Wolford by keeping and filing medical information on the students, and taking care of those who are ill or injured. Hopefully they never have to deal with a seriously injured person.

The answer is quite simple — the feeling of accomplishment and never ending sense of satisfaction. Being an editor requires lots of hard work and determination. It also means commitment. Long hours of cropping pictures, doing layouts and writing copy, as well as after school meeting, are all a part of this commitment. It ' s a job that ' s fun and rewarding, but along with that comes the bad times. (Ask any yearbook member!!) This year ' s editors overcame many loopholes and hardships. Trying to produce a yearbook better than the 1982-1983 Falcon was a challenge. Through it all, our advisor Mrs. Maiwald stood by to encourage us and offer help when we needed it. The 1983-1984 yearbook staff pulled through the problems with one last thought, Thank God it ' s over!!! First Row: A. Fath, C. Bruso, M. Gorman, C. Valentine, N. Desautelle. Second Row: K. White, S.

Caught in Action! This year ' s Battle of the Classes Dance, sponsored by J.C.L., turned out to be a terrific evening for everyone. Spector, featuring three Minnechaug graduates, Mark Guthrie, Darren Izzo, and Paul Drumheller, did an excellent job of getting everyone into the spirit. They also suprised everyone with the news that they were splitting up because Mark Guthrie, lead singer, was going into the Army. Half-way through the dance, Mr. Tipaldi made his debute with the announcements that all football players should be in bed and also the final attendance tally for the winning class. Of course, the sophomores emerged victoriously once again. ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ • The Model Congress headed by Ms. Brewer is one of Minnechaug ' s most prestigious organizations. The Model Congress members must possess two very important qualities: the ability to speak well in front of an audience and the ability to write a bill in the Congressional method. This group practices debates in prep- aration for the annual Model Congress held at American International College. Minnechaug has been very success- ful with Congress and has had Bills commended by Governor King.

Elected student representatives convey the opinions and ideas of the student body to the administration and faculty in order to make the school better. Hard working student representatives spend much of their free time making posters for fund raisers, preparing for dances, attending meetings, making agendas, counting election ballots, and donating money to other school or community groups. However, student Government ' s foremost duty is to keep the Spirit of Chaug alive Reps, voice their opinion. 173 band Mr. Beeler directs the band Future musicians Senior, Peter Kerr Clarinet section Whenever you see a Minnechaug band member out in the cold, November weather, you can probably bet that that person is selling fruit. Well, that ' s exactly what they did, the band sold one and a half truck loads of oranges and grapefruits. The Wind Ensemble and Concert Band, directed by Mr. Charles Beeler, worked long and hard with the 86 band members for their annual Pops Dinner concert. The concert was held on March 23 and 24, in the Minnechaug auditorium at 8 p.m. All the hours of band rehearsals, night rehearsals, practicing paid off when the entire band went to Baltimore in May. It was an exciting, fun trip for everyone. A freshmen clarinetist 174 chorus The alto sectii Minnechaug ' s Madrigals What would life be without music? Music s an entertaining, essential part of all our daily lives. It is safe to say that there is no ane who does not enjoy some kind of music. Minnechaug High School realizes this and orovides a program that allows its students to extend their talents to the highest level Dossible. A first year student in the choral program itarts out at the first level. For girls this is the girls chorus and for the males, the concert choir. Concert choir is entered by audition along with the honors choir, the Madrigal singers, which requires special talent and out of school performances. Minnechaug ' s music department is well represented every year at the Western-Mass District Competition. Many of these students go on to compete and represent their school at ligher levels. All students also have the opportunity to participate in an annual folk festival and a music drama production put on every two years. Both continually result in fine performances enjoyed by much of the community. The overall reputation brought about by a combination of interested talented students and the teaching of Mr. Warren Amerman is one of the finest in Western Mass.

On Satur- day, December 17, at 8:00 p.m.; 335 peo- ple came to this annual dance. It was held in the schools old gym, but that didn ' t bother anyone. Mirage was the band that played and a good time was had by all. Mr. Eakins dressed up as this year ' s Santa Claus and had fun passing out candy canes to the students. Every- one looks forward to this dance very much and hopefully their memories of it are pleasant ones. The 1983 Semi-Formal is underway! Merry Christmas, Ho-Ho-Ho-!

(Ask any member of the Mathletes and I ' m sure they ' ll comfirm it!) Hardworking and dedicated are only two of the adjectives used to describe this remarkable team. The students who compete five times a year with as many as seventeen different schools, stay after twice a week to practice and sharpen their mathematical minds. The categories covered in the competion are Algebra I, Geometry, Trigonom- etry, Algebra II, Complex Numbers, and Analytical Geometry. Thanks to advisor Mr. Granaudo, the team has shown great success through- out the years. First Row: R. Pruett, E. Karplus, Second Row: J. Garten, M. Pak Barufaldi, S.

They work to pre- serve and promote theatre arts in school and in the community. Their first major production was in December when they produced two Christmas One-Act Plays. The Falcon Players are not, as a group, connected to the Fall One-Act Competi- tions, or the annual spring production, but they do hope, one day, to send the winning One Act from the fall competi- tion to a regional and state competition. The members are simply students at Minnechaug who are interested, in some way, in theatre and the stage (actors, di- rectors, technies, set designers, electri- cians . . . . ) Goals for next year include finding new and better supplies for the future theatrical productions at Minne- chaug.

The show featured higl school gymnastics at its very finest. Performances on floor, beam, parallel bars horse, uneven parallel bars, and rings were the main events of the evening: Dance routines choreographed by Kristen Smith brought pizzaz to the showi The long hours of hard work and practice were obvious in each and ever; performance. Each move was done with agility and grace. The most breathtaking event of the evening was the Tiger Leap. Here the al around champion, Curt Holdsowrth, attempted to vault over the horse, each: time adding another team member to the top. The total reached eight team members. It proved most breathtaking to Jon Burgess who w as the one on the bottom of the pile. Congratulations are in order to the entire gymnastics team for anothe. outstanding year. Up! Up! and over!
