Nonnewaug High School - Nonnewaug Yearbook (Woodbury, CT)

Text from Pages 1 - 144 of the 1979 volume:

nonnewaug 1979 “Senior Class” brings an image of unity to mind. In reality, we are each seeking our own individual goals. As we entered Nonnewaug High, we were uncertain of our identities, and looking for direction. With the assistance of our teachers and friends we now realize that the goals we once thought were impossible to reach are now within our grasp. dedication Though he has been here only two years, he has managed to reach out and help every one of us in his own special way. As our class advisor, he spent endless hours encouraging and sup- porting our activities. As a guidance counselor, he helped us decide our futures and work out our problems. As a psychology teacher, he enter- tained us with stories of his past and brought us closer to understanding ourselves. We dedicate our yearbook to Allen Fossbcnder, who is, and will always remain, our friend. 2 ty faculty fac BOARD OF EDUCATION FIRST ROW Ronald Bienkowski Ruth Russell George Brudlau Robert Savage .VI p lion sc Avitabile SECOND ROW Shirley Whiteman Robert Wright, Jr. Mark Alvarez Joan Smith Jane DeVries 4 MR.

The athletes proved to be aggressive runners when they faced their competition. Captain Stan Ouimett led the team through the season, and seniors Dale Thompson and Mickey I .avery greatly added to the team’s efforts towards victory. Junior all-stater Sarah Pierson ran a strong season ranking 6th overall. Juniors Russ Hardisty, Daryl Abriola, and Kevin Natush will be returning next year as strong contenders. 69 field hockey FIRST ROW — Kim Walin, Siobhan McLaughlin, Julie Mierzwinski, Teresa Pemcci, Betli Scheuerlein, Kim Shultz, Amy Clark, Eileen Assard, Kerri Graham; SECOND ROW — Barbara Mahon (manager), Liz Russell, Sue Odcndahl, Robin Boughten, Iledy Hollanda, Cindy Rose, Lorraine Meyers, Colleen Bailey, Melissa ('lark (manager), Sharon Fitzgerald (manager); THIRD ROW — Miss Bulmcr (coach), Headier Level, Debbie Crane, Chris Woodward, Joan ShaefTcr, Heather Martens, Becky Shaw, Chris Jones, Margaret Cassidy, Sherri Pinard, Leah Tallcoucli, Mrs. Talarico (coach) The girls’ field hockey team ended their season with a fourth place finish in the Berkshire League. Co-captain Teresa Perrucci and Amy Clark led the team’s offensive line with aggressive determination. 'Ilie teams defense was held together by co-captain Beth Scheuerlein and Kerri Graham. 'Hie goal was tended by junior Colleen (Beetle) Bailey who had many valuable saves. Teresa Perrucci, Amy Clark, and Kerri Graham all received All-Star recognition. The team improved with die experience gained through each game, and ended with a 3-7-2 record. With the showing of this year’s under- classmen, next year’s team is sure to be a winner. 70 71 volleyball Tills fall Nonnewaug had a pleasant surprise In their athletic curriculum. Mr. Lawless initiated a girls’ volleyball team. It was a tremendous success and drew a considerable number of participants led by senior captain Jackie Quesnel. If their record was in any way lacking, they more than made up for it with a truly remarkable show of enthusiasm and un- daunted team spirit. Next year, with most of the team re- turning and with the experience gained this year, Xon- newaug’s volleyball team will surely knock ’em dead! 72 VARSITY: FIRST ROW — Donna D’Aversa, Sharon Adams, Karyn Strubbe, Ann Guerrera; SECOND ROW — Miss Hume (coach), Marlt Heine, Margaret Sandulll, Kathy Shanahan, Joanne Cole, Mr. Lawless (coach) JUNIOR VARSITY: FIRST ROW — Kelly Reynolds, Lisa Hunold, Dawn D’Aversa, Leah Witherspoon, Debbie Bawlick, Karen Anderson, Jana Betts, Charlotte Wesley; SECOND ROW — Mary Ellen McAllister, Tracy McDougall, Roberta Gallagher, Nicki Kintzer, Joyce Metcalf, Cathy Adams, Patti Lewis; THIRD ROW — Kathy Warner, Diedrc Roberts, Margeret Carlson, Lorraine Krantz, Mr. Lawless (coach), Ms. Huma (coach) 73 74 soccer FIRST ROW — Marybeth Filchak (manager), Paul Giroux, Mickey O’Nell, Brian O’Leary, Bruce Fox, Mr. O’Sullivan (coach),Tim Sprano, Alan Zinser, Kevin Makarcwlcz, Scott Brownell, Ix rl Ann Pictrorazio (manager);SECOND ROW — Bruce Stinson, Bod Baker, Ricky Brown, Tern Ballou, Barry Makarcwlcz, Dave Rycroft, Peter Mahon, Steve Landry, Ron Taurlck; MISSING — Kevin Carragan Nonnewaug’s soccer team made it to the state tournament once again this fall.

Beginning in the last hot week of August, Coach O’Sullivan worked die team to its physical limit throughout die season to ensure the best performance of liis players. 'Ihc season started out slowly, but as time progressed, seniors Terry Ballou, Dave Rvcroft, Kevin Carragan, and Steve Landry helped to propel die teams power in many important games. Ron Taurick and Rick Brown added bodi offensively and defen- sively while goalie Bruce Stinson had another exceptional season.
