Morris Central High School - Morrisanian Yearbook (Morris, NY)

Text from Pages 1 - 96 of the 1979 volume:

4 £oodi:e,r We the Senior Class of 1979 dedicate this yearbook to Spiel Goodier for his unending services to our school. He has faithfully and safely driven the students to and from games, practices, and tournaments. He has spent many hours cleaning up after us and has helped keep our school respectable looking. For these reasons and many others, we will always remember SPIEL GOODIER. 2 A talented craftsman, dedicat- ed worker and devoted husband and father. She gave herself wholehearted ly to her profession,her hob- bies, her family and friends. The loss of the Cases, Pete, Charlotte, Chris, and Mark, brought us immeasurable grief. Individually, they meant different things to each of us, but as a family, they were so much a part of us at Morris Central School, that even though they are gone, their memory will be a part of us forever. Chris Case Considerate, thoughtful and witty. Active in sports music. A real friend. Mark Case A whirlwind of energetic en- thusiasm! 3 With common goals and common longings, we laughed, we loved, we played, we won. Those were our school days, our happy days. They were real because we made them real. They were alive because we existed. 6 And then, as suddenly as they had dawned, they faded into the less carefree days of adulthood. And finally they are now gone... 7 Around the corner are the unknown days of tomorrow, but we will remember our days at Morris Central -------- jMaaam btwr 9 CLASS HISTORY In 1966, 16 out of the 36 students who are graduating this year started kindergarten together. Our teacher was Mrs. Vanburen. The biggest thrills of those days were crackers milk and naptime. Next year we graduated to first grade and Donna Madison joined our class. We then advanced to second grade, the year of the treat shop, which taught us to be business people. Next came third grade, when we went to the Fanner's Museum and the Woodland Park. When fourth grade rolled around, we were able to go out on the playground with the big kids . Tim Church joined our class and we went to Rogers Conservation Center. In fifth grade we went to Herkimer Diamond Mines and dug for diamonds! In sixth grade Perry Page, Steve Warley, Bob Mitchell, and Clover Williams joined our class. That year Mr. Brodrick tried to teach us to be scientists and we also took our safety patrol trip in the spring, WOW! Seventh grade came along with Mark Balbuena and Bill Shinnick. We all thought it was great to be upstairs. Little did we Know! Diane Stachina came in eighth grade, the only other event being another trip to the Farmers Museum. On to ninth grade, we were finally in high school! We started playing sports, cheerleading, singing, and getting involved in things. Bill Canfield came in tenth grade. We were still progressing and competing at our own interests. Eleventh grade was our tough year. We developed the system to get us through. Molly Brett and Linda Harlow couldn't resist joining our class this year. We made it! We finally reached the top! This year we do it all, the senior trip, the play, plus all the other activities we are still involved in. When we graduate in June and go our separate ways, we will still have the memories of each other and the days we spent together at good old MCS.

Although the Mustangs ended the season with a 3-4 record, the team was full of dedication and spirit. The thing that weakened us the most this year was lack of experience, remarked Coach Naples.

This year the gymnastics club once again held their annual gymnastics show. Dazzling the audience with daring flips,feats of strength and a gracefulness that even the students didn't realize they had, all helped to make this show a big success. 45 During football season the cheerleaders once again sponsored Homecoming. This was a very- busy time for them. They planned events for every day of the week, had a special lunch for the football players, held a pep rally, decorated the boys' locker room (with encouraging slogans like Wipe 'em Out and P for Pride ), had a supper for the players, parents and cheerleaders, and sponsored a dance.

This year the volleyball team tried something different...have a boy (Tim Church) play on the team. There was only one draw- back. The State decided it was illegal to have a boy play on a girls' volleyball team. So, the choice was to either forfeit all the games fight the State or not let Tim play accept the decision. They accepted the decision. As it turned out, the Varsity ended up with a 2-4 record, the JV's ended up with a 1-5 record. 50 3V Uolleptiall 1st ROW: T.Weidman, S.Alger, P.Pegg, B.Bouchard, D.Gunther, R.Hamond, C.Forgit, J.Wilcox, C.Pasternak, T.Marshall, Coach Hoffbauer, N.Thompson, P.Quintin 51 Softball 1st ROW: L.Walling, D.Madsen, B.Shelley, D.Linton, C.Collier, B.Benjamen, J.Jones, D.Decker, A.Pasternak, N.Thompson, P.Rollins, M.Bonhert, M.Gorton, D.Quintin, C.Walling, D.Madison, Coach Fletcher, A.Carrol manager 52 Jteeball 1st ROW: T.Carrol, D.Deluca, S.Warley, K.Mitchell, D.Hand, 0.Albertson manager, K.Young, J.Shampnios, N.Glover, B.Shelley, B.Gleusner manager.

The recognition that scholastic achieve- ment within a community is valued, and brought to fruition through superior academic achievements, speaks highly of the environment that encourages such pursuit. The Student Council is an organization that sets goals and tries to finish them by the end of the year. The council represents the student body and attempts to smooth out problems that may arise between the students and the administration. The council has been working on many projects which include carpeting the audi- torium and putting in a PA System. tutient Council B. Bronson, J. Ben- jamin, R. '.-heeler, R. Elliott, C.

Drops accumulating,forming mere trickles at first. Trickles combine-forming larger trickles. Ever larger trickles,ever larger trickles forming tiny streams,tiny streams become rivers. Rivers forming... Thus is the knowledge in the stream of life acquired. 88 By Donna Madison L«2V- vr .:.p«.' ’. . $ iss s .. .-«T «£ •  JfiW r 'Crv ? ;y ■  jttme i«S f Bi iw i :$ rZ -,j - yr4. n r,j 'ti-v- -3 7' SWfe1 5«!
