Narragansett High School - Maritimes Yearbook (Narragansett, RI)

Text from Pages 1 - 168 of the 1979 volume:

ITIMES 1979 Outstanding effort, dedication, and versatility are the qualities that bring about change. In dedicating this yearbook, we the editors on behalf of the student body would like to applaud these qualities as demonstrated by our advisor, Mrs. Evelyn Smith. Although many may not be aware of her extra service, we feel she best exem- plifies our theme of dynamic involvement. Mrs. Smith is a native of New York. In February of 1970 she graduated from U.R.I. with a Bachelor of Sci- ence. As a teacher in Narragansett. she has long been interested in the school and community. She started the first yearbook many years ago. At that time it was a paperback edition. Under her enthusiastic direction, it has grown to the publication you now see. Although she has always given her all. this year stands above all others. Currently on a one year leave of absence, she continues to serve as our advisor giving freely of her time for meetings and being available when we need her. As time becomes increasingly more diffi- cult we realize how much she means to our staff and also the whole student body who benefit from this book. So, for her support and overwhelming interest, we dedicate this yearbook, Maritimes 1979. to Mrs. Smith. 2 . . . with these we learn to change today and shape tomorrow. We are the ones who make it happen. Seniors, Class of ’79...........page 16 Undergraduate Classes...........page 50 Administration and Faculty....page 72 Our activities are the measure of our growth.

In the 1800’s it was a very popular tourist center, with its beaches, hotels and casino bustling with fun-lovers. t- The waterfront photograph at the bottom left was taken from what is now Tucker’s Dock. From the train depot on the far left a long string of luxury hotels flourished, sup- ported by a booming tourist trade. This pic- ture was taken in 1885. Working counter-clockwise from the waterfront scene these nineteenth-century archive photographs depict: the tower on Earles Court; the famous Narragansett Casino in its prime; a cluster of stores at the town center; the Rockingham Hotel; and a fine old mansion on Earles Court. Photo credits on page 159. Both natural disaster and the passing of time sowed the seeds of change in Narragansett. As the great hurricanes of 1938 and 1954 swept away many of the tourist centers, the twentieth century and a rising population rolled in to take their places. The devastation of the Great Hurricane of '38 can be seen in the upper left photo showing the Casino and the shattered sea wall; and in the photo on this page of the remains of a summer home belonging to former Gover- nor Case. At the far left are pho- tos of the Narragansett town beach area before and after Hur- ricane Carol in 1954. The past fifteen years have seen the development of many new homes including those in Eastward Look, pictured above. Photo credits on page 159. Our town continues to exist in a constant state of change and growth. At the present, Narragansett reflects a unique blend of the future and the past, a tribute to modern accomplishments amid a warm sense of regard for history. Some things never change; the rare beauty of Narragansett’s coastline still brings thou- sands of tourists to our summer shores. They, however find a new image along the water- front, the result of nature’s devastation and man’s rededication. Again going counter-clockwise from the waterfront scene, we find the tower at Earle’s Court a puzzling vine-covered stone pillar, its wooden parapet long forgotten. The remains of the great Casino are now referred to affec- tionately as “The Towers” a well-known New England landmark. Modern shopping centers like Pier Village have replaced the old country stores that have long since burned down. Many of the stately Victorian hotels have been lost or converted to private homes, but in their place have grown new up- to-date motels like the Dutch Inn. The great mansions of Narragansett’s past, however, have been carefully preserved on Earle’s Court Rd., in the center of town, and along the Ocean Road coastline. Photo credits on page 59. We are the ones who make it happen. The destiny of a town is not shaped by hurricanes and hammers alone; nor is a school the sum total of its bricks and rafters. People are the moving force. The extent and the quality of our students’ involvement here and in the community makes this a vital, thriving and successful school. Thai class of ’79 has struck again!” That thought must have run through the minds of Narragansett’s faculty and administrators throughout our high school years, all of which have been spent in the new High School. We. the Class of '79. have started many traditions, changed many attitudes and had our share of rebellious fun. . Always a force to be reckoned with, we started as freshmen in the battle for supremacy among the classes. After all. with no seniors to fill the all-important role and to help keep us in line, we were free to operate at will. Starting by electing a council of eleven, we were guided throughout our Freshman year by chairperson Bill Allen, treasurer Mike Millcn. and secretary Lori Doliber; as our advisor. Mrs Burns. (Ah! If she had only known .) We truly showed our abilities in unusual ways. After all. who else would call a dance that earned a four-dollar profit a success? But after various bake sales, a concert by the U.R.I. jazz band and other assorted activities, we proved that we would and could help to fill the school with the pride of Narragansett. During our Sophomore year, we again elected a council that reflected our class s power. With Bill Allen as chairperson. Karen Anne Hoyt as vice-chairperson. Mike Millcn as trea- surer. Lori Doliber as secretary and. of course. Mrs. Burns our advisor. How could we go wrong? This was a year for precedents for our class. We started the year with the Gym-Jam, the first dance ever held in the gym. It was closely followed by the Horror House, which has become an annual class event. We ended the year with the first Narragansett High “scan- dal and our only class stigma. When the World History class planned its trip to the United Nations in New York City, no one could have predicted the outcome. That unfortu- nate trip put us. the Super Sophomores. in headlines from the Narra- gansell to the New York Times. After all. how often does a high school field trip almost cause an international incident (as the result of a stink bomb, no less!)? From that time on. a close watch was kept on the class activities we planned. But. that didn’t stop us! We eagerly moved on to our car wash. Perhaps playing on our somewhat tarnished reputation, some- one managed to assert that we had assaulted a woman with a sponge and lots of soapy water. We were able to clearly prove our innocence in that case, though. We approached our Junior year with caution, vowing to behave. The council was expanded to seventeen members, with Kelley Cronin taking over the job of chairperson. K. A. Hoyt as vice chairperson. Mike Millen as treasurer and Lori Doliber as secretary (again?). Mrs. Burns faithfully accepted the job as advisor again. (By that time there was no way out!) We received our class rings by Christmas, and dis- played our shimmery red stones proudly, proving we were finally upperclassmen. . back at the Jr. High in (raining for our high school years. 14 Once again, a highly successful Horror House was put on. (Children still see Mike as Frankenstein and hear Kim’s tortured wails in their dreams.) The variety show was appropriately titled “Something Spectacular.” Co-directed by Bill Allen and Lynne Dragon, a unique show was created. The Dick Crammit show will never be forgotten . . . especially by Mr. Petro. On May 23. The Junior Prom was held at Meadowbrook Inn. Rumor has it that Jane is still recovering from the post-prom party held at her house. Our Prom Queen. Kim Casey, was elected from a court of real beauties: Lilly Smith. Renee Bouchard. Lori Doliber. Lori Dillon, and Donna Babich. We were saddened by the Class of ’78’s graduation, but got over it soon enough to take over Senior Hall the very next day! Finally, we were Seniors!!! The year started off with a bang as we estab- lished our supremacy. We elected the final council of our high school years: fifteen members, the chairperson being David Cicilline, vice-chairperson Lori Doliber. treasurer Karen Hoyt, and secretary Kim Casey. We started off by purchasing buttons for that all-important game against South Kingstown. They read simply. “Kill S.K.” We have plans for our final Christmas Dance. Spaghetti Supper, etc.. . . Our Senior Prom, already being planned, promises to be smashing! Graduation will be exciting, but certainly tearful. The administration, teachers and undergraduates may never recover from the loss they will receive in June. (It is said that Mr. McCarthy smiles at the thought of it. only to cover up for his tremendous sadness.) Oh. how quiet the school will be then! Our class is certain to have many famous people, and one can imagine what our reunions will be like. (What? Oh. Mark. Please. No more stink bombs.) Well, until then. Good-Bye. . . — the Class of ’79 az t £. Soffit 1961-1978 Oo with ai yzitzrdau dJi to tj£ with ui today and tomorrow 15 Senior Class Council opens new doors at N.H.S For all our years at school.

As we. the class of ’79. look back on four productive years in Narragansett High School, we recognize one outstanding person who has made these years as a class possible: our advi- sor. Mrs. Jean Burns. Mrs. Burns has been assisting our class since we were fresh- men. She has promoted dances, bake sales. Horror Houses, proms, senior projects and privileges, and countless other activities of interest to the class as a whole. The reason she has been so much help to us as a class is her interest in each of us as individuals, and this is difficult with a class of 120 members! The senior section of our yearbook, we feel, is an appropri- ate place to express appreciation to Mrs. Burns for all the time and concern she has given us. the class of ’79. Thank you so much. Mrs. Burns. Class of ‘79’. “Look not mournfully into the past. It comes not back again. Wisely improve the Present. It is thine.

Sure, we can't wait to walk beyond these doors that we often say we hate so that we can climb higher on our floors of life. But, here is the only place that we know. We can sew our lace all around us and show just what we've learned And then, later reach out for what we’ve earned. Yes, we will always remember all our shouts at all those football games. The pranks and private little jokes. Our first loves, but when we can look back and laugh in the years to come, all our pain of love will be gone and the pain of leaving behind our happy and secure little life. For then, each of us hopes that our life will be happier. Because we all have that foundation, that was made for us here,. . . at Narragansett High.

For homecoming week they worked with the Freshmen to put together a float, which was displayed at the halftime period during our homecoming game against North Smithfield. During Christmas season the sophomore class displayed a great deal of Christmas spirit by passing out candy to the students at both junior senior high and the elementary school. The Sophomore class proved to be an excellent outlet for the pent-up emotions of students, after successfully surviving exams.

FORTIN This was a scar full of changes Wilh the retirement of Mr. O'Brien came the tedious search for a new superintend- ent. After screening many applications, the committee selected Dr. William Holland. A I960 U.R.I. graduate. Dr. Holland was both athlete and scholar, having played on the nng many schola ors. He went on in 1961 to obtain a Masters degree in His- varsity basketball team, and attaining many scholastic hon- tory and Education from the University of Massachusetts. Dr! Holland also holds a Doctoral degree in Educational Administration from Boston University. In 1963. after two years as an officer in the U.S. Army. Dr Holland began his career in education, teaching English and History in Newton. Massachusetts. In 1966 he bacame Assistant Principal at Meadowbrook Junior High School in New ton. From 1967 until 1970 he served as Assistant Super- intendent of Schools in Dartmouth. Massachusetts. He was si on appointed Superintendent in Ludcnbcrg. Massachu- setts. a position he held until last July, when he took on Nar- ragansett's superintendent position. When asked his opinion of Narragansett. he stated that. “This (school) system has the potential to become the best in the state.” Dr Holland's was not the only new face in the district office. The town had also acquired a new school business manager. Dr. Joseph Clark, who was well-known to them through his long involvement in the P.T.O. Both new administrators immediately secured the best secretarial services around by steal- ing Mrs. Whiting from us! Meanwhile, back at the high school. Mr. McCarthy held down the adminis- trative fort in the midst of more change. In a move that surprised everyone. Mr. Fortin resigned from his position of Assistant Principal to become an Administrative Assistant to Guidance. Once again, a search committee” was formed, and many applications were reviewed. In the end. tnc committee was rewarded for their efforts, in finding and selecting Mr. Todd Flaherty. A young, vibrant administrator. Mr. Flah- erty is a welcome addition to our administrative team. During a brief interim period between Mr. Fortin’s res- ignation and Mr Flaherty's arrival, dis- cipline was maintained by stand-in assistant principal. Mr. William Beh- rends.

HUTCHINS School year 1978-79 has been a year of change and growth, not only for students and activities, but also for the high school faculty. NHS students arrived in September to find some of last year’s teachers miss- ing. Mrs. Maine. Mr. Gass. Mrs. E. Smith, and Mrs. Bellanlom (as of November) had all taken a year’s leave of absence. Of course, everyone was glad to see Mrs. Vallicre again, and welcomed our six new teachers: Mrs. Elizabeth Padula. Mrs. Phyllis Klai- man. Mr. Robert Anderson. Mr. Wayne Johnson. Miss Lisa DeSista. and Miss Judith Mahoney. The faculty has been very busy this year, not only teaching, correcting tests, and giving extra help, but working on an evaluation of our school, a necessary step for its accreditation by the New England Asso- ciation of Schools and Colleges. Faculty effort, which began in September of 1977. was spear- headed by Miss Holt. The NEASC committee visited Narragansett High School in early November and in January sent its recommendations to the school. The final decision on how many years we will be accredited will be out later this year. Thanks to the faculty’s extra efforts, this impor- tant step in the growth of our school is possible. 1978-79 has also been a big year among faculty for marriages and babies. Miss Mason, Miss Hosley. and Miss DiLibero, now Mrs. Rose, Mrs. Archambault. and Mrs. Wilkens. were the cause of some excitement. So also were the babies — every time we turned around we found one in a proud parent’s arms (attracting a growing audience!) as Mrs. E. Smith. Mrs. Bellantoni. and Mr. Mrs. DeGrass intro- duced us to Catherine, Elizabeth and Derek. All considering, the NHS faculty has had a unique year! Accreditation process reaches climax. MISS LEE MR.

Art Park stimulated the imagina- tion and hard work of those students and teachers that participated in the school’s most original event. On May 25, the whole population became involved with Art Park; it startled everyone. There was a spectacular collection of students' handicrafts ranging from a sturdy wooden lighthouse to thriving plants in imaginative pot- tery. Not only were the artists out in full force, but the musicians also were a lively force throughout the day. Those who needed delicious nourishment just had to stop by the home economics room. Everything would have been per- fect if the weather had been as coop- erative as the teachers, but the rain did not dampen any spirits. 84 0 fWedia 4 Caf r 5k op (1) The an and plant sales were held in the back lobby.

What a great game, what a great team! was the cry heard 'round Narragansett on the night of June 5, 1978. for the girls softball team of Narragansett High had become STATE CHAMPS! After practicing in the Elementary school gym for a few weeks and going through some very long and hard practices, the team moved outside to the sometimes bit- ter cold March afternoons. There they practiced even harder and longer and elected tri-captains Fran Sher- man, Carla Ferreira and Kelley Cronin to lead the team. Unfortunately, the girls had a slow start, losing their first two games by four and three runs respectively. But by the next game, things were really rolling. A 16 to I win against Tiverton started a barrage of close games, slaughters, playoff games and finally - Mr. Poirier's and the team's ultimate goal — the State Championship! . . . dissolve into winning smiles. 78 Mariner Trivia First Division title, in either male or female high school competition, in Narra- gansett's history. First State title, in either male or female high school competition, in Narraganselt's history. Marinettes scored 128 runs while only allowing their opponents 41 in 13 games.

Nothing unusual, right? Wrong! The game wasn’t like any other normal game; we played for 19-innings. Unbelievable? Sure was. The team played for 5‘ i hours, and deserved the praise they received. Last season the Mariners also won their first away game with Westerly. Coaches Christopher and Chadwick had every right to feel proud of the team and have high hopes for the coming season. The most valuable player cited for last season was Mike Monroe, who, of course, played outstanding ball. List of players: E. Allen, M. Aitkenhead, P. Benoit, J. Bless- ing, J. Bolster, R.

Our experienced offense and defense battled against our South Kingston rivals as the Mariners scored 9 points to the Rebels’ 6, bringing home the South County Bowl. Led by the ten sen- iors, the Mariners finished among the state’s top 10 teams both for scoring offensive points and for limiting points scored against them. Highlights of the season were the Mariners' five shutouts and their placing second in Class B Small. This year’s captain was Mike (Moose) Millen. Melge lakes the handoff.

Spirited squad cheers team through winning season It takes a lot of energy and pep to be a good cheerleader. Besides wearing a constant smile, there are long hours of practice before each game. It's hard work: there are always new cheers and formations to learn and old ones to practice. But along with the work comes a lot of fun. There are other squads to meet and greet, and victory rides to go on (especially this year!). Whether at a football game or pep rally, their incessant pep and stylish routines keep the crowds “R-O-W-D-l- E and urge our team to “V-I-C-T-O- R-Y . Any cheerleaders do these things, but our girls added their own special touch of sincere pride and for this we are thankful.

The Guardian Angels contribute a great deal to the stamina of the football players. Each angel made sure their football player had an abundant supply of goodies the night before each game. No one other than an angel could better explain the heart-pounding feeling of secretly placing their goods on a player's doorstep and running for dear life, hoping not to be caught! Many leave panting, wondering who was sitting next to the door waiting, when she knew no one could have been there. The whole idea seemed to be seeing how long an angel could remain the goodie- ghost” without being discovered. Those are the angels to be proud yet the others suffered being revealed to their football players through devious means such as getting Mrs. Iacuele's guardian angel list. To all these girls who participated as angels, we congratulate you for pulling the foot- ball players through the season, and we’re sure the team is equally appreciative. GS Nancy Giroux ..

Monday’s characters turned into Tuesday’s fifties crazies, as students greased back hair and jumped into leather jackets and bobbie socks. Then in one night, they changed from clean-cuts to hippies for Sixties’ Day — Wednesday. But Thursday took the cake, for almost everyone, including teachers, wore togas. Fridays always give students a little more joy than other school days. But that day there was an extra sense of pride, wearing our school colors to the Pep Rally. 105 Homecoming welcomes back classes of ’77 and ’78 On the morning of October 28. 1978, Narragan- sett High School began its second annual Home- coming with an exciting 28-to-0 victory over North Smithfield. Half-time activities included the crowning of Homecoming Queen, Lori Doliber. Lori’s court consisted of Freshman Wendy Schmitt. Sophomore Donna Lavimodiere. Junior Liisa Hallberg, and Seniors Janet Fraleigh and Donna Babich. That Mariner Band made its spec- tacular debut of 1978 at half-time by performing an impressive routine. The events of the day were highlighted by the Homecoming Dance which rekindled old friendships with alumni. 107 Harriers race through a successful season Girls’ Cross Country Top Row, left to right: Michele Dillon.

The Girls’ cross country team, coached by Arlene Goldenbaum, had a successful season, even after a loss of many varsity players from ’78. This year’s team had five returning fresh- men, and was led by Captains Kathy Holland and Colleen O’Donnell. All of the girls will be returning next year for a better season. Their overall record this year was 4 wins and 4 losses. 108 Boys’ Cross Country team streaks to the top. This year, the Boys’ Cross Country team had its best season in three years. The team was led by Coach Marie Kojian and Captain Kevin Poirier to a record of 6 and 3. The team's success continued as they snatched up third place in the Class D Championship and fourth in the Western Division. These wins made the team eligible to partici- pate in the State Championship. Many individuals received awards for outstanding performances, includ- ing the selection of Kevin Poirier to the All-Class-D first team. Eric Scheer and Jeff Krul were selected for the second team. Team Members SENIORS: Bill Allen. Ray Cavanaugh. Kevin Poirier. David Smilh and Jon Tomasi. UNDERCLASSMEN: Robert Allen. Mike Casey. Jim Fenstermacher. Jeff Krul. Greg Mitchell. Mark Provost. Eric Scheer and Ron Smith. 109 Girls’ Tennis Team I he girls' tennis team came back stronger than ever, after missing a season in league action. The team went back into the league with many new players and also an enthusiastic new coach. Diane Bennett. Their impressive 10-6 record ranked them fourth in their division, much to the surprise of the other teams. The team will only be losing two seniors, Ellen White and Donna Babich.

The Marching Band performed well at both the Homecoming and the South County Bowl games, and did more than its share to bolster school pride at the pep rallies. With many new members and freshmen, the Concert Band is also looking forward to an excellent season. Besides all this, some band members put forth an extra effort and participate in the Jazz Band. With the largest group ever practicing one night a week, the Jazz Band is sure to have the audi- ences feet tapping and heads nodding to a variety of beats in their upcoming concerts. 113 Rhythm and melody launches Concert Choir towards musical stardom, but. . . The Concert Choir is comprised of 50 specially selected high school students. The group presents a Christmas and Spring Concert annually, in addition to numerous benefit concerts in the South County area. The choir has also participated in various choral festivals since its conception in 1975. Narragansett High School has grown considerably in the past 4 years, and with that the Choir has grown and changed also. Our choir has the ability to leave behind a good mark in the name of our school wher- ever they perform. That is one of the most rewarding experiences one can have as being a member of Con- cert Choir. Soprano 1 J. French D. Nota R. Aiello S. Hazard B. Quinn N. Dodge S. Lindewall L. Robinson L.

The paper, distributed in homeroom, features school news, editorials, class and sports updates, and a calendar of events. Each issue is an improvement over the last and has an increasing influence on the student body: thus the Compass is becoming an important activity in our high school.

Led by advisor Mrs. Katie Indeglia for the first few weeks of school, the Council launched what will hopefully be a tradition carried on for many years the Big Brother Bie Sister Program. Soon after, the Council sponsored a “Welcome Back to School” dance and Homecoming to begin the years social calendar, paving the way for many dances and activities to come. During the preparation for those activities. Mr. Wayne Johnson took over the advisory role and then helped set up an elec- tions committee with Karen Hoyt. David Cicilline and Kelley Cro- nin appointed chairpersons. At the completion of this committee's work. Kelley Cronin was elected President of the Student Council; David Nota — Vice President; John Millen — Treasurer; Michelle Dodge Recording Secretary and Doris Constantinides Corre- sponding Secretary. The efforts of this Executive Committee and the rest of the Council turned last year’s optimism into this year’s suc- cess. Bottom Row left to right Linda Campbell. Tracy Brownell. Beth O’Neill.

GS 119 Club Maritimes proudly presents the return of “Blue Moon.” No one would argue lhal the first Club Maritimes presentation of Blue Moon” was a success. The music, dancing, the crowds, the waitresses (what legs!) ever thing combined perfectly to make a show that few will forget. But when a second show was announced in January. people began to wonder if it could possibly be as good . Well, the old gang got together and decided to do it again bigger and better than ever. Vic Snow and Joe F.verett. having graduated, were unable to return, but in their place, three talented new faces appeared: Laurie Pinkie Hunt. Roger Rog Pearson, and Suzie Hinckley. A new Skipper made his debut — Artie Smith and amazed all with his musical prowess. Needless to say. the show was fantastic! New songs and new acts kept the audiences charmed Principals and teachers entered twist contests. (Mr. Gallman won.) Waitresses were kept running from table to table, and bartenders and kitchen help got little rest. Bouncers had no one to bounce. so they cheerfully helped in all the prepara- tion and cleanup. Gary Sprague’s staff took care of catering, lighting and sound problems, while talented artists aided in providing a nautical decor. Coordinated by Bob McHenry, the Club's decorations featured a super Jaws backdrop by Bonnie Durfee. Head wait- ress Cindy Pater designed and made the skirts and aprons modeled by the waitresses, and the sashes adorn- ing the waiters. The yearbook staff would like to thank all the many individuals who made the show possible, for it raised a tidy sum for to help erase our publication debts: but we would especially like to thank maitre d' and show coor- dinator Maribeth Crook. She brought it all together! 120 Starboard Players are hard at work. Under the direction of a new advisor, Cait Caloo, the drama club got under way experimenting in mime, improvisa- tion and other acting exercises. Plans were made to present the melodrama “Way Down East” along with another play. However, various setbacks delayed plans until later in the year. We were able to obtain these “sneak previews” at one of many, many rehearsals. Club Members Top Row, left to right: Eric Scheer. Willis Kim.

Among the different meetings that were attended by Narragansett stu- dents were a Regional meeting with Representative Wright and Repre- sentative Aukerman (from South Kingston), meetings with Lobbyists, and party caucusses. The meeting with the Representatives was to attain a common stand between Narragansett and South Kingston students on certain major issues. Narragansett High School students came up with ideas and produced the following bills of legislation: Inflatable Life Rafts on Commercial Ves- sels, Retirement, Insurance, Alcohol, Abused and Battered Women, etc. These participating students, who are so politically-oriented, will in time be our political leaders whose decisions will affect our daily lives. The Independent Man while Project Close-Up participants travel to Washington. The students involved in the Project Close-Up program became actively involved with the politics of our govern- ment. Washington. D.C., was literally the classroom for Close-Up, in which semi- nars in government office buildings, local universities, and private institutions were held. Through this program, students were able to learn through the living” system, being involved in debates and discussions. This program is geared toward making students more aware of how government affects their everyday lives and how they can participate and affect government at all levels. The greatest value of the pro- gram is the insight the student obtains through a multitude of experiences — questioning a Senator, seeing the Lincoln Memorial, or possibly living in a hotel for the first time. By the end of Project Close- Up, these students obtained a broader concept of our government. Participants of Project Close-Up included: Doreen Hardink, Linda Campbell, Kit McKendall, Ray Storti, and Jim Cahoone, along with their advisor. Mr. Brown. 123 Honor Society inducts fourteen members The students who have been selected as members of the National Honor Society are Bill Allen, Donna Babich, Jennifer Bolster. Kim Casey, David Ciciiiine. Minas Constantinides, Kelley Cronin, Lynne Dragon. Kathy Grady, Karen Hoyt. Janette Poirier. Linda Scheer. Ellen White and David Wilson. These seniors were chosen because of their outstanding academic credentials, leadershi abilities, and social commit- ment. They have certainly been able to measure up to the rigorous standards of the National Honor Society. We are proud that such a great number of stu- dents have merited this prestigious honor. 124 GS Lab assistants help science department. The Lab Assistants took time out of their hectic schedules to help out the Science Department’s ever-moving staff. These seniors, Jane Bourbonnais, Michelle Plant, Kevin Poirier and David Wilson, assisted in everything from correcting tests to cleaning up after Biology experiments. The math team multiplies into success. The Narragansett High School Math Team this year consisted of seniors Minas Constantinides, Kathy Grady and Bill Allen, and underclassmen Glenn Babich, Maureen Grady and Ricky Matheson. These members competed with the dedication and pride expected of all Narragansett students. They, with the guidance of Dr. Champlin overcame many problems that would have stumped most. 125 GS Squad members Captains: Donna Lavimodiere. Pat Montcith. Senior: JoAnn Sekator.

New uniforms have arrived, along with new cheers invented by the cheerleaders themselves. The work of Tuesday and Thursday will always be remembered, as well as the way Donna Lavimodi- ere was “hanging around the basketball hoops. This year’s cheerleaders have been great: next year’s will find it hard to be better. First-year cheerleaders start off with victory Members of this year’s squad are: Co Captains Lisa DeCota. and Tracy Schmitt. Other members are. Mane Denelle. Jennifer Young.

Four judges, Miss Holt, Mrs. Johnson, Mr. Gallman and Rachel Hoyt performed the diffi- cult task of choosing the 12 best, based on skills and overall enthusiasm (A Job Well Done!) The girls got together over Christmas vacation with Miss DiLibero and Mrs. Padula, for fitting and to help in making the uniforms. By mid-January they were ready. On January 22, the Cheerleaders made their first public appearance and cheered their team into its first victory against South Kingstown. 127 “Am 1 going in the yearbook?

After a year's worth of work, the Maritime Staff is proud to pres- ent the end product of great team effort. A yearbook is a very special treasure to many people, and when fifteen students can get together and produce such a book, you can bet there's a great deal to be proud of. MARITIME STAFF Advisor: Mrs. Evelyn Smith Editor in Chief: Kathy Grady Editors: Jane Bourbonnais Donna Babich Peggy Carter Bob McHenry Linda Scheer Gary Sprague Kevin Poirier Bonnie Durfee Lynne Dunnington Doreen Hardink Cindy Pater Terry Podedworny Assistants: Mitra Karbassi Lynne Sterns Robin Leather Mike Webb David Cicillinc What goes into a yearbook . . is a lot of hard work: constantly worrying about meeting a deadline, getting the pictures taken for that deadline, and also trying to make that page blend with the theme. There's a lot of discipline involved, as in any other area of work, and keeping up with all the snags that go along with each page is a task within itself. The yearbook isn’t a totally gruelling activity though — we have the entertain- ment shows of Club Mantime to lake great pride in. As a staff, we are making this book on behalf of the students in the high school. Therefore, we try to keep in mind what they would like to see in this type of medium and at the same time assure that the artistic quality of the book is maintained. One must remember: Nothing is permanent except change.” Heraclitus . . . even if it is just a yearbook layout. Advisors Note For what things is a yearbook advisor grateful'’ An editor-in-chief who keeps things going even while her advisor is in the hospital having a baby Hardworking, talented editors who never quit An office full of secretaries and aides who somehow manage to keep the lines of communication open and never seem to get tired of having to relay mes- sages back and forth Professional photographers who care about our school and our book A publishing representative who is never too busy to help give the training or information that editors need. A sympathetic fac- ulty willing to forbear the tomorrow’s-the-deadline jitters and craaed looks in editors’ eyes. Fourteen incredible musicians who don't mind work- ing for more than two months to prepare a benefit show A maitre d‘ who will exchange her sanity for the chance to run Club Mantime, and a sup- porting staff that helps’her to do it. An end product that is easily the best yearbook Narragansett has ever seen. Varsity hoopsters shoot for the top! Screams of delight were heard through the halls one Thursday morn- ing — the night before, the Mariners Varsity basketball team had defeated Davies’ Patriots to clinch a third-place spot in the divisional championships. The varsity team consisted of gradu- ating seniors Pat Clays. Ray Cava- naugh, Lance Robinson and Everett Hazard; and juniors Ray Frade, Steve Beatrice, Mark Sprague, Mike Young, Matt Thomas, Kevin Holland and John Clays. This was a very good sea- son, finishing with an outstanding 15- and-7 record. Coach Chadwick can indeed be very proud. 134 iWMwm iSw f Matt 135 Clyde for two Marinettes rebound from last year. The Girls’ Basketball Team greatly improved this year under Coach Poirier and Assistant Coach Monahan.

The wrestlers escalated their win- ning streak to a nine to two record by the end of the season to become their division champs and place eighth in the state meet. Not only did the team do well, but individual team members excelled in outside-league competition. Gary Garofano, Brian Turnbull, Kevin Manchester and John and Mike Miller each made All-South County. Brian, Kevin and Mike also made All-League. In All-State Mike Casey placed fourth, Gary Garofano and Kevin Manchester placed third in their divisions and Brian Turn- bull placed second in the suburban classification.

I he Gang” Meldge lies up” Gymnasts tumble out with a highly successful season Gymnastics Team Coach — John Knowles Karen Hoyt Liisa Hallberg Cody Munroe Kerri Ryan Patty Mancini MaryLou Farrell Rachel Hoyt Becky Foor Tricia Zanella The Narragansett Gymnastics team finished the '78-’79 sea- son with the best record in the short history of the sport. In accomplishing this the team overcame many obstacles such as injuries to several key performers, late evening practices, and a new league alignment. Since the team consisted of only eight girls it was necessary for each girl to perform in as many events as possible to increase the team score. Returning gymnasts from last year’s team, senior Karen Hoyt, juniors Cody Munroe and Liisa Hallberg and sopho- more Mary Lou Farrell, provided a strong nucleus and much- needed experience. Newcomers Becky Foor, Rachel Hoyt, Kerri Ryan and Patti Mancini constantly turned in outstand- ing performances. The efforts of these eight gymnasts resulted in what hopes to be the first in a long line of winning seasons for Narragan- sett Gymnastics. 1 42 On the beam: Karen Hoyt. Liisa Hallberg. Becky Foor.
