This is a time when you will read and hear about bleak and or wonderful tales of problems or opportunities that await you in society. Among all of the din and clutter of this happy time, let me ask you to consider democracy. A democracy, as you know, “is a form of government based upon the convic- tion that there are extraordinary possibilities in ordinary people”. A democra- cy can exist only when people are willing to give time for service. Consider all of the persons with whom you have come in contact in the last twelve years — those who have worked with you in boy or girl scouts, 4-H, grange, church youth groups, swim teams, little league, halloween parties, and other instances too numerous to list. There are many other examples of citizens serving on various governmental boards, in rescue units, and fire departments. To me the most important trait you should have learned from your total school experience is the will, desire, and ambition to continue democracy in America. Congratulations on your high school graduation. I wish you good luck in whatever you decide to undertake. Keith L. Hall Superintendent of Schools Congratulations, Class of ’84 You are nearing that magic day — graduation. The diplomas for which you have worked so hard, are within reach. You are eager to get started with your plans for the future. Over the past several years, you have worked and studied, practiced and played, and grown — grown mentally as well as physically. For some of you, graduation will mean a job and the responsibilities of family living. For others, it will mean further years of study and preparation. Whatever course YOUR future takes, it is my sincere hope that you will look back at your years at Mt. Abe as having prepared you to meet and deal with the challenges that life will present. Best wishes, John D. Connolly, Principal 7 TODD ABBOTT MARY ALEXANDER Fido General Bristol “Don’t worry what others think, if they really love you, they will un- derstand.” A.F.S. 11; C.F.P. 9-12; D.U.O 10, 12; Prom Committee 11.

Rainville It is great that Mt. Abraham students have the opportunity to investigate the workings of the Federal Government, through par- ticipation in the Washington D.C. Close-Up government studies program. This is the sixth year that Mt. Abraham has been invited to take part in the program. Students will be traveling to the capitol in May. Every year, Mt. Abe students come back with many fine things to say about this unique opportunity. What is Close-Up (It is not a toothpaste)? Close-Up is a chance to learn about govern- ment the way it really is. It’s a chance to meet people from other parts of the country, and it’s an opportunity to learn about yourself and your views on the American System. While in Washington, Mt. Abe students will be able to meet with their Congressmen and Senators; be part of a nationally televised Close-Up program; attend seminars and enjoy a wide variety of social activities. The Close-Up program is open to all students in 10TH, 11TH, and 12TH grade. Fellowships are available on a limited bases. Students who can’t afford the full cost are able to earn money to go by participating in fund-raising projects. The Close-Up club wishes to thank all those parents, students and faculty who have given generously to support their trip. Thank you. Doug Paterson — Advisor 59 DRAMA Back: W. Cobden; T.

Rheaume Nina Hulst, Accompanist 62 Kathy Palmer, Director This year Mt. Abe was very fortunate to add to it’s musical staff Mrs. Cathy Palmer as chorus director. Mrs. Palmer has had extensive training in theater performing with The Lyric The- ater. Mrs. Palmer has put her musical talents to good use by developing a fine performing choral group. Although small The Mt. Abe Chorus has performed in the school and community for many activities. We thank Mrs. Palmer for her hard work and hope she can share her talents with more students next year. Mr. Bowers was able to spend more time with the band this year. After finishing off 1983 with a great exchange, the Mt. Abe Band was able to pick up where it left off — in high gear! The band was able to play more challanging music by meeting every day for band class. With the help of band officers, Alice Weston — President, Lisa Vrooman — Vice-President, and Margaret Hall — Secretary, the band became a smooth run- ning organization, and was able to play for school and communi- ty activities with relative ease! At this point, The Band is plan- ning another band exchange in 1984. Hopefully it will be as successful as 1983! Pep was at it again, playing for pep rallies and basketball games — though small, it did not lack for enthusiasm! The brass ensemble was able to rebound after losing many key members in 1983. They performed for the Federated Church and will perform again this Spring for various organiza- tions. All in all it looks like a great year for music this year.

BBC: The BBC is a project of Mount Abraham’s Video Technology class. BBC — The Bristol Broadcasting Crew puts on one show a week, on Thursday nights. The show airs at 5:30 on the local Bristol television station. BBC has been run by Mrs. Margaret Snelgrove through the years, she advises a happy, eager, and willing crew of hopeful broadcasters and cameramen, although on some days they may seem a little aggravated and lazy. Neverthe- less, the show must go on, and these eight bright and imagi- native people are the ones to do it. The Bristol Broadcasting Crew writes, acts, shoots, and edits the show. It is a completely student run production. BBC Video Tech is a Vi year course which can also be taken for 2 semesters. People who are interested in fields concern- ing communication and broadcasting should take this course, as the people who have already taken it have learned the trials and tribulations of being involved with television.

Ray Pellegrini — Advisor NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY Four students were in- ducted into the Mt. Abra- ham Chapter of the Na- tional Honor Society in ceremonies held Novem- ber 8, 1983, at Wright Me- morial Auditorium at the high school in Bristol. Many parents, relatives and friends as well as Mt. Abraham faculty were pre- sent to witness the induc- tion. Master of Ceremonies was Steven Lutton, presi- dent of the local chapter. The Rev. Augustus Dowdy, Pastor of the Bap- tist Church, gave the Invo- cation, and the Benedic- tion was given by the Rev. Edwin Hilbert, Pastor of the New Haven Congregational Church. Mr. John Connolly, Principal of Mt. Abraham, spoke words of welcome to the inductees and to all present. Members of the Mt. Abraham Chorus, led by Mrs. Kathy Palmer, sang during the ceremony. Members of the Honor Society participated in the program. Margaret Hall led the inductees in the Honor Society pledge and membership cards were presented by Steven Lutton and Alice Weston. The candlelighting ceremony was performed by Lisa Vrooman, Anne Lathrop, Margaret Hall, and Alice Weston. Mr. William Bowers was the guest speaker for the occasion. A reception for the new members was held following the ceremony. The inductees were: Class of 1984 — Alison Day, Ellie Higbee, Brad Jimmo, and Julie Leone. 68 Abr ham presentation ;nunent Patterson Running Track Team Comes Maryland Alberto Conti — Italy Bernt Solli — Norway ALL THE BEST FROM A.F.S.

Graham, M. Hall, L. Baker, K. Hall, L. Lathrop. Front: M. Wendland, A. Lathrop, D. Weaver, H. Iorio, S. Woods, W. Garrow Hello! My name is Bernt and I am from Norway. Norway (in Norweigian NORGE) Constitues the western part of the Scandinavian peninsula, of which covers about 40%. The country is the fifth largest in Europe, while population density is next-lowest in Europe, after Iceland. In the east the country borders on Sweden, Finland, and the Soviet Union. Otherwise it has the sea as it’s boundary, with an exceptionally long coastline. Oslo, the capital lies about 60 degrees North. This latitude runs north of Scotland, through central Canada and Southern Alaska. Norway’s most northern town, Hammerfest, is also the most northerly in the world, laying on 70 degrees, 40 minutes latitude. The Artie Circle crosses near the middle of Norway. That’s where I live Norway is well known to tourists as “The land of the Midnight Sun.” There are many different types of climate in Norway. This is so on account of the country’s geographical situation, because of strong prevailing westerly winds and the Gulf Stream along the west coast of Norway. When Norwegians think about the USA, they usually think about big cars, 18 wheelers and people with a lot of money. That’s what I thought about USA also, before I came here. After being here for a while, I found out that the difference between the Norweigian way of living and your way of living is not so big as I thought. The biggest difference between you and us must be that we pay twice as much taxes as you do. I wish I could trade that when I go home, just for a year anyway! What surprises me a lot is that the people here are so open and easily show their feelings. I think that that’s the main thing that has struck me since I came here. To be honest, you Ameri- cans are just great. There’s nobody like you, and there never will be. I love you!! Bernt Solli I’m the AISE Italian exchange student for the 83 — 84 school year. 1 come from the northeast part of Italy. My house is about 60 miles from Venice (I hope you know where Venice is!!). Life in Italy is quite different from the life I now have in the States. In Italy I used to go to school from 8 am to 1 pm for 6 days a week (Without a weekend) In Italy I lived nearby a city, so when I first came, I was very impressed about all the woods and the mountains you have here, not because I have never seen a forest before, but just because I knew I was going to live a “Slower” life than my Italian one. One of the other differences is the food, but I’m not worried about it because I think that being an “American” For one year involves a lot of things and of course your American food. Basically, these are the differences I find between your society and mine, but on thing I was surprised of was that I’ve found a lot of friendly people, and that makes me glad I came. Italy is one of the smallest countries in Europe. It’s borders are with France, Switzerland, Austria, Yugoslavia, and the Medeterrian Sea. And of course your American food. Basically, these are the differences I find between your society and mine, but one thing I was surprised of was that I’ve found a lot of friendly people and that means a lot to me. Alberto Conti 72 “Australia won the American Cup! Hi! My name is Michelle and I’m the exchange student from Australia, I come from the State, Victoria, and the town I live in is Ballarat which has a population of seventy-two thousand. The pace of life is similar but instead of it being a social pace it is more sport and physical. The food is not really different all except the students here seem to have been weaned on McDonalds, whereas McDonalds only just hit Australia three years ago. The weather is really different, we have winter when you have summer, and summer when you have winter. The highest temperature we reach in summer is around 120 to 135 degrees Fahrenheit. We don’t even match your winter weather, instead of snow we get rain for three months. I have met alot of friendly and nice people here.

The team started the year by losing a close opener against Camel’s Hump. (5-2) Team skills and objectives were then worked on daily. Mt. Abe then turned around into a closely meshed unit. The unit worked together to finish the year very strong on the field. Pitching and the infield combine to end the season with two shut-outs. Junior Varsity: Coach M. Esty; R. Bedell; P. Cook; J.

The team was plagued with injuries before the season started plus the uncooperative weather conditions did not allow the necessary time needed for practice. The team consisted of many unproven players, 4 Seniors and 2 Sophomores who had no previous experience and who were in starting positions. Consequently, in the beginning of the season, the team averaged 5 errors a game and lost by a large margin. As the year progressed we were able to cut the errors down and consequently we had 2 wins, and the losses were very close games. As the season ended, the underclass- men were looking forward to next year. Coach Blaise 85 1 86 GIRLS TRACK 1983 Members: F. Ayaz; I. Desmedt; M. Diette; M Drexler; M. Groski; T. Landon; A. Day; M.

Dedication, long hours of training, countless falls, different X-Coun- try trails and hot to freezing weather were all taken in stride by our team runners. Each Mt. Abe member can be proud in knowing no one else runs those races for them, it was a strength from within that carried them to the finish line and they alone deserved to reap the rewards for their achievements. It takes a special young person to run X-Country, and the Eagles of Mt. Abe flew high in the fall of 1983. The boy’s team was 4th in the State Championships out of 21 teams. The girls entered it’s first team ever in the States and defeated rival Vergennes 361-364. Cathi O’Neil placed on all league, and all state teams and went on to New Englands. The boy’s JV team was ranked in top 3 in Div. 2 in the state. Jr. High boys and girls teams had winning seasons, with Kori Crane and Abigail Brooks ranked top ten in the state. 53 run- ners ran for Mt. Abe. 3 were Seniors. 92 RUN OR DIE Front: A. Gorton; M.

The improve- ment made from the season’s start to the season’s end was awesome. The season’s highlight came when the Junior High Soccer Team won the Mount Abe. tourna- ment for the second straight year. These young soccer players will definitely shine as stars at Mt.

The team finished the year with a record of 8 — 6. It was a young team with the majority of players coming from the athletic freshmen class. Mark Lathrop led the Eagles in scoring with 14 goals. J.D. Connolly was close behind with 11. Here are some memories — defeating Milton and Ver- gennes at the end of the season with great team efforts, Brendon Burke getting tough and scoring on Colchester, Natasha Perez showing the boys how to play like an aggres- sive fullback, little Noel Cormany burning by Burlington’s big fullbacks, Shane McIntyre’s version of a kamikaze halfback, Mark Lathrop’s swollen ankle, Kerrin Hoff’s determination and unwillingness to let anybody get by him, Rodney Grant diving (sometimes) saves, Kevin Masse’s knowledge of the game, J.K. Connolly beating Middlebury with his left foot and the smile he had afterwards, Eric Cousino’s hustle while trying to keep his glasses on, Scott Cota’s cold, Mark Tier- ney’s talk in the middle of the field, Mark Vrooman’s quiet- ness and perserverance, Jon Howard’s lost practices, Ron LaFountain’s white socks, and finally Pat Huber’s powerful right foot. ft 95 VARSITY SOCCER Coach Hutchinson; B.

The Eagles went winless for the next twelve games. Concentrating mostly on skills and basic soccer plays. The final game of the season was against Colches- ter — a top seeded division 1 team. The Eagles jumped ahead of the Lakers 2 — 0 in the first forty minutes of play. However in the second half, the Lakers rallied to tie the game in the closing seconds. The Lakers then scored in the second overtime to close out the Eagles bid for a stunning up- set. Coach Hutchinson JUNIOR HIGH FIELD HOCKEY The season started out tough. The first game was just four days after the season started. The girls were a little down after losing the first four games, but their win against Camels Hump cheered them up considerably. I feel the girls going up to J.V. are pretty well pre- pared and also very interested in the game. I think most of the time they really enjoyed the game.

The Junior Varsity Field Hockey team had a fine season, compiling an 8-3-1 record. A young team of fifteen Freshmen were led by Sophomores Sarah Slayton and Marin Melchior. The Eagles were green at the beginning but, developed fine skills and teamwork as each game was marked by improve- ment. Their strong desire to win overpowered opposing teams while they outscored their opponents 35-6. This team has a bright future and hopefully their winning ways will bring the State Field Hockey Title to Mt. Abe. Coach Mary Stewart 99 VARSITY FIELD HOCKEY Top Row: A. Weston (Co-Captain), H.

Our season opened with a visit from a group of Welsh schoolgirls from Preseli. The Eagles learned much about the game of hockey from their guests who, in turn, were treated to 5 days of Vermont summer and hospitality. Considering the excitement the tour generated on both sides, it would be difficult to say who had the better experience — hostesses or guests. Two weeks after the Welsh tour, the actual league season started with a victory over arch-rival Milton, and despite a mid-season slump, the Eagles compiled a 7-4-3 record. This team was young in terms of experience, with only six seniors to lead a large squad. One of those seniors, Australian AFS student Michelle Graham, was a newcomer to the game, but her contributions on and off the field made 1983 a special season for everyone. Co-captains Margaret Hall and Alice Weston coped admirably in the leadership roles, and managed to help the group mature and function as a unit. That process was acceler- ated when the Eagles watched a match between the U.S. Olympic hockey team and UVM in an exhibition game. It was an impressive performance, one which the Eagles appreciated. Seeded fifth in the State Tournament, the Eagles played league- rival Rice in the quarterfinals and lost 1-0, despite extraordinary performances from several defense players. With the experience gained in that match, hopefully, next year’s 16 returning will be eager and ready to earn victories which will put them beyond the quarterfi- nals. Even before the final march, league coaches had recognized the expertise of some Eagles, by naming Michelle Blow and Alice Weston to the Division II All Stars, and Cheryl Grant and Kim Pandiani to that teams’ Honorable Mention. Congratulations, all of you, on a game well played, and a season of growth. Mrs. Lucy CB Pellegrini 4 'V f 101 JUNIOR HIGH BASKETBALL Back: Coach Rice; K. Choquette; A. Masse; J. Gautherat; M.

The best in school history. The record put them at second in the Lake Division, and earned them a fourth seed in the State Division II Tournament. (Mt. Abe was defeated by Montpelier in the Quarterfinals of the tournament.) The team was led by three Seniors (Alice Weston, Genie Prime, and Michelle Blow.) All of whom were a big key to the success that the team experienced throughout the season. Coach Leggett 105 JR. HIGH BOYS HOOP Back: C. Thompson; J. Sodano; G. Cousino. 3rd. Row: A. Smith; L.

They are presently sporting a 5-3 record, with wins over Hinesburg (2), Vergennes, Otter Vally, and Charlotte. With 4 games and a tournament remaining, they will undoubtedly end with a high successful year. The eighth graders show good balance of height, shooting, and ball control and should provide fine talent in the years following. The seventh graders, likewise, are displaying hus- tle and determination in an effort to develop their skills. 106 JV BOYS HOOP Back: Coach Rivers; T.McKean; K. Masse; J. Masterson; R. Grant; M. Brown; M. Lathrop; B. Hines; Front: P. Sullivan; J. Connolly; T. Ca- ruso; M. Cassarino; S. McIntyre This was written in the middle of the basketball season so our won-loss record for the year can’t be stated. As to whether it was a successful season though it can firmly be stated that it was. The team was made up of a group of young men who were willing to work in order to improve, so of course they were successful. The team did not have a lot of height or size so one thing they learned through necessity was the importance of rebounding. As the years go on it’s hoped they will _ work at becoming all-around, complete basketball J L players. With the same intensity, it’s hoped they’ll work at becoming all-around, complete people as well. Coach Rivers BOYS VARSITY BASKETBALL The team is basically involved in a rebuilding year, with most of the play- ers having had very little varsity expe- rience. Seniors Brad Jimmo, Peter Knox and Danny Evans are contribut- ing whatever experience and talents they can in guiding the squad through a thus-far rocky season. Brian Chandler, Jim Forgues, Mike Cassarino, Tony Caruso and Jay Masterson are the Junior members of the team. Mike, Tony, and Jay have also been getting valuable experience by playing Jr. Varsity Ball as well. Sophomores Jeff Masterson and Bart Samsom have been providing most of the rebounding so far. Considering that 5 of our opponents are Division 1, they have been doing a fine job. In spite of their scoreboard losses, Mt. Abe should be proud of these hustling young men, who give it their best. 108 P. Sullivan; M. Cassarino; J. Forgues; T. Caruso; D. Evans; J. Masterson; B. Samsom; P. Knox; B. Jimmo; B.

EDITORS “Alice, what picture am 1 looking for?” “O.K. Lori, lets start again. It’s like proportions Definition of yearbook room: Total Chaos. COMMENTS Alice and Steve: Co-Editors of the 1984 Aerie Editors Comments: This has been one different kind of year for us. Being a yearbook editor has meant sacrificing our time and patience. It has definitely been a rewarding experience knowing that we were editors of the 1984 Aerie. We are just sorry to say that we didn’t accomplish all that we had set out to do. We actually started our job last January when we were asked if we wanted to be co-editors of this year’s yearbook. We both said yes and started to build up some small ideas toward the following year’s book. As this year began, we found ourselves short of hand and short of time, and were unable to produce all of our ideas. As the year continued, this became more and more evident. But the deadlines were met. Well . . . most of them were. We would like to take the time to thank the very impor- tant people who have worked on the 1984 AERIE: Margaret Hall, our outstanding artist and all-around artist and all- around worker; Mike Leone, the typist for most of our copy and next year’s co-editor; Kathy Hall, who designed the cover and was an excellent layout artist, and will be co- editing with Mike next year; Jules Leone, our artist and Creative Thinker; Marin Melchoir, the designer of the Title Page and a layout artist; Brad Jimmo, who helped with our sales and ads; Lori Baker, who spent hours on layout; Bill Sloane, our representative from Delmar; and Karl Thelen, our outstanding advisor. 41 RC 125 THE GRADUATING CLASS OF ’83 126 127 PATRONS Chris, Scott, and Katie Pellegrini Mr. Mrs. T and all the Little Teasers Frances Walsh Peter Ann Straub Family Susan Wanner John Sandra Connolly Margaret Snelgrove The Mt.
