Nonnewaug High School - Nonnewaug Yearbook (Woodbury, CT)

History was always a required course here at Non- newaug, but it stood high on our list of favorite subjects anyway. Mr. Hadzima broke us in with his talks on for- eign countries and past empires, and Mr. Buck kept every- one happy with his numerous filmstrips. U.S. History was next, with Mr. Linehan teaching us all about our past. From The Boston Tea Party to Lincoln’s Inauguration. Then came P.O.D., and all those enlightening speeches by Mr. Orgovan on Freud and Darwin. As the years passed by we learned about Man and his past, present, and future; and learned that history could be fun. This is why we thank those dedicated teachers for their endless hours of teaching and enjoying history with us. Mr. Paul Hadzima

What could be more fitting, then, than to dedicate this yearbook to the consecrated teachers of Nonnewaug High School, whom we hold in great affection and esteem. The Class of 1977 7

Mr. Stephen Bignelli Ms. Helen Amaral Ms. Ingrid Boedecker Ms. MaryLou Cofrancesco Since languages are electives at Nonnewaug, not all the students have had the opportunity to take these fascinating courses. But those students who did sign up, realized after only a few short months that their time was being well spent. When spring came around, you could see Mr. Bignelli busily running back and forth from Humanities to French, trying his best to remember which was which. Miss Boedeck- er had three languages to keep straight, but always did so with a smile. Miss Cofrancesco was always in a happy mood on quiz days, but watch out for her Spanish temper on those other afternoons. That new teacher in the language rooms this year was Ms. Amarel, who came along to help out with French classes. German, French and Spanish were the three languages taught this year, and each one had its special moments and memories. So from us to the dedicated teachers; Merci, Gracia and Danka.
