I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate the Class of 1985. I consider it a honor and privilege to have been associated with you. I hope that in whatever endeavors you partake, you will reflect on your years at Mynderse, and take advantage of your learning experiences. Hopefully, the educational experiences you have gained at Mynderse Academy will assist you in your role to be a positive influence on the society in which you are entering. Your association with Mynderse has been a positive asset for you and the school, and as a result of this association both you and Mynderse have benefited. Again my sincere congratulations, best wishes, and good luck always. Anthony J. Ferrara Assistant Principal Thomas Wolfe believed, and some people seem to agree, that “you can’t go home again.” When something is over, somehow it seems unable to be recaptured at least in the way in which we would like to recall “the way we were” or what might have been. Try to remember that high school is not a place for regrets, not a spot where life slides us by; it is a place where students are not just a part of its vitality; they are its life. As you have been involved with your classmates — participated in the school’s many, varied activities — continued that involvement with community events, never say that civic responsibility is for someone else, because, just as you and your companions were the only reasons why the Academy stands, you and your companions are the reasons for tomorrow’s world. May you continue to strive to make the world a better place and to achieve success and happiness for yourself. G. Macaluso Principal

In 1971 Mynderse Academy gained a great asset. This teacher’s intelligence, devotion, and enthusiasm made learning an enjoyable as well as informative process. His lively classroom presentations and deep involvement in the subject matter add to making his classes exciting and valuable learning experiences. Continually staying involved with community and school activities add to the dedication this individual shows. With this and many other things in mind, we the Class of 1985 proudly dedicate the 60th edition of the MYNDERSIAN to Mr. Walter Gable 7

TO THE CLASS OF 1985 As you prepare to graduate reflect on your time here at Mynderse. Each of you has made a contribution to your school. Whether large or small, your contribution is now a part of Mynderse history. This history grows each year with its graduating class. As you begin the next phase of your life, let your time at Mynderse be only the beginning. Let yourself grow to be all you are capable of being. Best wishes for your future. Vincent Caraccilo Assistant Principal “Face the music” is a common maxim that has been a part of our language for many years. Its meaning is simple and direct. When you “face the music” you are confronted with the consequences that result from your actions, whether they be good or bad. Soon you will be ending your four year course of study here at Mynderse Academy and, suddenly, the first day of the rest of your life will be upon you. What you have done during the past four years will help determine your future. If you have put forth a good effort and used your capabilities to their fullest, then you are off to a good start down the road leading into your future life. If you have not put forth a good effort and have let your capabilities lay dormant, now is the time to “face the music,” accept the consequences, and to start applying yourself to ensure a successful future for yourself. In closing, it has been my pleasure to have been associated with you during the past few years, and I wish each of you God’s speed and the best of everything that life has to offer.
