Notre Dame Bishop Gibbons High School - Knight Yearbook (Schenectady, NY)

Text from Pages 1 - 168 of the 1976 volume:

C€L€BRM1NG 1975-1976 This Year... Notre Dame and Bishop Gibbons merged, forming a new school. We also began the Bicentennial year. But if students were celebrating that event, they weren’t doing it near our photographers, or before our deadline. It makes more sense to us to try to record what the school was doing, and so the new school theme triumphed easily. We feel that Notre Dame-Bishop Gibbons was a happy place this year and we hope that this book captures The day becomes more solemn and serene When noon is past: there is a harmony In Autumn, and a lustre in its sky Which through the Summer is not heard or seen. As if it could not be, as if it had not been. (Shelley) 3 While the earth remains. Seed-time and harvest. And cold and heat. And summer and winter, And day and night. Shall not cease (Genesis 8 22) 10 The winter is past. The ram is over and gone: The flowers appear on the earth: The time of the singing of birds is come. And the voice of the dove is heard In our land. (Song ol Solomon 2 11-12) 13 When new principal Brother James E. Roepke an- nounced to the student body that Notre Dame- Bishop Gibbons was a “new school , few understood the extent of the forthcoming changes. All administrative moves seemed to be fashioned in a spirit of compromise, but there was a new emphasis on the students as well as “the office living up to their end of the deal. The office certainly did. many students found, and with determination. If seniors were to have release-time contracts, they would also have those contracts suspended for clearly defined offenses If the smoking area was to be permitted, it would also be kept clean by the stu- dents. If buses, clubs, and dances were to be sched- uled. they would live or die on the support of the students. The impact of this brand of realism was felt strongly by students, and they moved at different rates from somewhat hostile, to somewhat passive, to somewhat cooperative, to somewhat supportive. It was an interesting year. The negative duties of the office—its disciplinary and attendance responsibilities—were more than off- set by efforts to organize representative student leadership, to encourage school activities, and to provide more comprehensive guidance and aca- demic programs for all grade levels. Assisting in these efforts were vice-principals Brother James Marini and Sister Ann Keiley. The Guidance Department consisted of Brother Martin J. Fragala, Mr. James Tedisco. and Sister Dorothy O'Brien. Administrative Secretary was Mrs. Alex Clairmont and Guidance Secretary was Mrs. Angela Wade. Brother William A Stevens served as the school's Treasurer and Mrs. Barbara O'Brien as secretary to the Treasurer. mCULTY 18 MRS MELANIE ANCHUKAITIS Spanish 1,2,4. MR.

On The Road And In The Mood The fact that a goodly number of mu- sicians graduated last year did not deter Mrs. Irene Peterson from launching on another ambitious performance and in- structional schedule. Again this year, the musical Knights en- tertained at area elementary schools, this year with a dash of patriotic and Bicen- tennial numbers added to their swing” repertoire. Performances at Notre Dame- Bishop Gibbons included the New Year's Eve Dance at the school, the Christmas Concert, the Spring Musical Music Man,” and an informal Spring Concert. The instrumental program continued this year as the school's most successful mer- ger of the the two concepts of academic and activity. The Chorus thrived with the integration of underclassmen girls and boys, music theory lessons were offered, and instrument lessons continued in the cacophonous warehouse at the top of the stairs. The students had an opportunity to bring all these enterprises together at the Spring musical, and they did so with astonishing competence. The program continues to turn out a dis- proportionate number of college music majors. This fact is both a testament to the energy of the program as well as to the dedication of the participants. It is a place to go to develop a talent, and it is being used by many ND-BG students. Not enough students.” Mrs. Peterson might add. 32 nnren PERCUSSION J Shannon. C. Holly. D Carrol. C. Jones.

Publications Gains Variety With Larger Staff The publications staff spread itself a bit thin this year as it tried to expand its activi- ties. The larger staff tried to publish a satis- factory yearbook, a respectable number of newspapers, a literary magazine, and re- activated a photography club. The publications crew was led by a small group of students who persisted through the year, and by some who did the ''seasonal work of typing and layout. A third group showed little interest and did almost nothing. The yearbook and newspaper seemed strangely devoid of senior leadership. Dave Hagadorn, Pete Miller, and Ed Savoie did substantial work for both the book and the paper, but others seemed intent on cele- brating release time. Mr Snapp (left) served as advisor to the Publications staff this year. Above, soph Tom Wakeman labors over a negative prior to printing. 36 Mike Kukfa started as the newspaper's production editor and at mid-year had proved experienced and concerned enough to gain appointment as editor. Mike's most valuable asset, beside his size, seemed to be a bull-headed determination to get the job done. With a reliable core of contributors—Jim Dunn, Dave Hagadorn. Dorn Slowey. and Peter Miller—the quality of the articles remained high. The number of issues, thanks to some Kukfa-concocted format changes, also increased after mid-year. At this writing, a literary magazine was being planned, but production costs may combine with lethargy to block that venture. The yearbook is a pretty thing, and it is the work of several people. They're all in the pictures sprinkled through these pages. If they look bright-eyed, alert, and happy, they didn't do much. If they look anxious, smoldering with hostility, or battered into apathy by strokes of outrageous fortune and cruel deadlines, then they were the ones who did the work.

Guys and Dolls. featured roles for. among others. Joe Purcell and Tom Christoffei (below) A host of students, steered through the imagi- nary world by Brother John Sullo, aired two productions here at ND-BG this year. The fall play was a Thornton Wilder comedy, The Match- maker. while the elaborate Music Man en- tertained throngs this spring. The Matchmaker was the story of a store- keeper who hires a genteel matchmaker to find a suitable wife for him. The bountiful subplots give this play a number of male and female lead roles and provide for an amusing evening of entertainment. The Music Man was the spring production and as a musical incorporated a cast of thousands. Brother Sullo was aided in this gargantuan enter- prise by Mrs. Irene Peterson who directed the orchestra and coached the vocalists. Major roles in the Dramatics Club this year were taken by seniors Tom Christoffel. Sue San- ders, Tom McGovern, Paula Castaldo, Mike Rotch- ford. and Dan Pratico. A generous number of juniors and sophomores were drawn into the speaking parts of Music Man, and prospects for the continuation of the vitality of this activity appear good. In Music Man,” Tom McGovern plays Harold Hill; the mayor of River City is Tom Christoffel; Marian the Librarian is played Paula and Chris lacobucci. The mayor's wife, Eulalie, is played by Anne Marie Rosenberger and Joan Stalica. Marian's mother is played by Sue Sanders and Judy Foster. Brother John Sullo presents a check for $1,000 to Mrs. Jean Smith. Salesman Terry Smith looks on. happily, as he displays his $300 check. Spurred by the promise of a holiday, the students of ND-BG raised enough money in the last week of the Shake the Money Tree campaign to turn a profit of nearly six thou- sand dollars for the school. Shake the Money Tree began this year with mixed support, beginning very slowly. But with a handsome return for the seller, the Tree idea caught fire mixed—metaphorically speaking, of course. Nearly fifty percent of the profits were returned in cash and prizes to the selling students. Brother John Sullo, who saw the success of this high-return concept in other schools, ably managed the program. Mrs. Lorraine Green did the tremendous job of bookkeeping, which involved daily tabulations of receipts and issuing of checks to students who sold thier books of tickets. The first prize of $1,000.00 was awarded to Mrs. Jean Smith with a ticket sold by student Terry Smith, but the marvel of marvels for everyone was the accumulation of wealth on the closing days. In the period of about seven class days before the final deadline, receipts moved from around the $4,000 mark to well over $11,000. Ah, the power of 680 students! No one was more surprised than the students themselves. Cathy Frazier and her father Mr William Frazier bask in the financial sunshine of second prize 45 Voila! Student Senate Off To Solid Start The Student Senate was a welcome innovation in student government. Since the advent of modular scheduling and early dismissals and work-study programs, there has been a paucity of organization among students. Those who could lead, the juniors and seniors, usually exercised other options, the most popular being the decision not to lead. Brother Roepke seemed to have an instinctive understanding of this problem. One of the first orders of business this year was the election of representatives from each of the four classes, and election of representatives from each of the four classes, and election of officers. The warn- ing about not electing class clowns echoed and rebounded a couple of times during the school year, but some strong leadership among the elected students helped to ward off that image. Brother Roepke said that the system worked in other schools, and it certainly worked here better than anything else we've had recently. The weekly organi- zational meetings and the strong assis- tance of advisor Sr. Anne Keily kept the group unified and active. Bus trips, raffles, dances, class activities, formats, and gen- eral supportive efforts to class and club programs all fell under the domain of the Student Senate. 46 Officers Joe Purcell. Ceil Many.

For some, the experiences of these four years be- come disheartening because they seem to have little to do with the much acclaimed “real world. The inability of secondary education to help the individual to touch other people's lives in a rewarding way is one of its most serious problems. A grad- uate who has not had the opportunity to move about in a world of practical problems and real needs soon feels the loss. Further education may seem hollow because it cannot be related to anything. The concept of a Christian Service Or- ganization is based in letting a student's whole personality—its enthusiasms, its special skills, its abstract ideas, its aca- demic experiences, its religious patterns— illuminate someone else’s life. Students this year, in a mammoth por- gram organized by Sister Jaculyn Hanra- han, worked at O.D. Heck Center, and St. Clare's Hospital, or tutored at Notre Dame- Bishop Gibbons or area elementary schools. The experiences were varied but one participant wrote that the quiet thank you or the simple smile make you realize what great fulfillment there is in a life directed at learning to help others.” Seated: Steve Muniak.

Fans do not train; they respond. Some fans whimper when their team is being beat, but the usual response to a season of annihilations is to stay home in droves. When the football season ends, though, the trained enthusiasts, the excited ones, the encouraging ones, the resistant, stubborn ones step out of their cleats and shoulder pads and sit in the stands, and when they do. they bring their bullheaded vocalness with them. Basket- ball comes alive. It is a spine-tingling transformation. The cheerleaders work their routines along the narrow walkway between the stands and the court, and in the stands those voices let rip. Infectiously, the docile frosh, the reedy, the squeaky, the meek and humble bellow in turn. This doesn't happen every year, but it did this year For one thing, the Knights’s Squires had a dedicated superstructure. John Nealon. Carol Harrigan. Jeanne Mannix. and Kevin O’Brien got the Squires moving by mustering an enrollment of 280. For another, the cheerleaders looked particularly innovative and disciplined. The cheerleaders turned out for away football games—remember those?—and sparked the often nearly empty visitors bleachers. Varsity cheerleaders this year were Margie John. Mary Breen. Judy Hickok.

Bart Stater 555 ‘Rebuilding’ Stories Borne Out By Late-Season Romps This year's ND-BG football season began with a whimper and ended with a gratifying ex- plosion of wins. The team was more solid in spirit and dedi- cation than some of the teams in recent memory, and the hard work paid off toward season's end with consecutive victories over LaSalle. Mohonasen, and— great happiness!—Linton. The season did not start well, but the first game, against Voorheesville, buoyed the spirits of Knights supporters. Down 28-0 at halftime, the Knights rallied. In the end, we had not won—the score was 41-28—but we were hopeful. Fulfillment of that hope was long in coming. The Diocesan League was tough and we suf- fered consecutive losses to Vincentian. McCloskey, Catholic Central, and CBA, before beating LaSalle 8-0. The statistics for the remain- der of the season, however, bear out what the players were saying about themselves all along— that they were a good team and they were ready to break loose. The LaSalle victory was followed by a 34-0 romp of Mohonasen and then a sweet triumph in an extraordinary game over well- regarded Linton. 14-2. We had some talent, and many of the most talented were jun- iors. Out two biggest men were John Nealon, a six-foot 225-lb. junior who served as fullback for the first part of the season, and Dan Briskie, a six foot, 215- lb. junior who played offensive and defensive tackle. Dan was an area leader with four fumble recoveries and his strength as a lineman was awesome. John Nealon was the team's second leading scorer. But his season will be remembered for his de- fensive efforts and leadership. He was All Capitaland first team with the Union Star, All-Capi- tal and second team with the Knick News. Troy Record, and Gazette. He. with Dan Briskie, are the two outstanding line- men, and both are only juniors. Mike Marron, a center at the beginning of the season, later saw service as defensive and offensive tackle. Marron even at five-ten proved brutal to opponents in nearly every game. Bill Rucinski, a small, rugged senior middle linebacker also helped lead the defense. He was outstanding in the Linton game, leading the team in tackles. As a result of this effort and consistent play throughout the year, the 5-10, 170-lb. senoir was named to the Union Star's All Capitaland defensive team. Jeff Verra came alive in the middle of the season with his pass receptions. He also helped control the opponent at his defensive end spot. Jeff caught a pass in the Mohonasen game for this second touchdown of the year, but his catching ability helped him pace the team in pass receptions. Dan Behan played tailback at the beginning of the season and was moved to the fullback spot to replace John Nealon. A rugged fulllback, he took the ball for critical yardage in games against CBA, LaSalle, and Mohonasen. Joe Loubier and John Falvo were two of the smallest defen- sive backs in the area but they were among the hardest hitting Joe was outstanding and con- sistent throughout the season, while John Falvo had two inter- ceptions in the Linton game to cap his season efforts. Dave Aziz, a junior, was one of the most versatile of the small men on the team. He showed a defensive talent for dropping quarterbacks, and offensively he was a good return man. But is was Ray Tobia who ex- cited Knights fans. His 59 yard scoring jaunt against LaSalle gave the Golden Knights their first victory. He combines good speed with exttraordinary moves and his 48 point compilation earned him top scoring honors for the team. His best game was against Linton, but at Mohona- sen he scored on a 24 yard run around left end to cap a 54 yard drive, and then followed it with a seven yard run through a hole for a second tally. An exciting development this year was the bourgeoning talent of sophomore first string quarter- back Chris Haggerty. Chris com- bined with John Nealon, Ray Tobia. and Jeff Verra alternately through the season for success- ful completions and supple- mented this by demostrated scrambling ability. The efforts of small lineman Joe Miller, whose determination compensated in this tough spot for his lack of size, and of out- side linebacker Mark Little who stood toe to toe against 200 pounders, were cited by Coach Verra as the kind of solid work that helped the team. Coach Verra and assistant coach DiLeva felt the team did a turnaround in attitude and performance this year—a turn- around that makes the cliche word rebuilding believable.

The strength has been there for several years, and it is a frustrating experience to run into a pol- ished VI team every year, and wind up every year in second place. We had another successful season this year with an impressive 8-2 record, but old nemesis Vincen- tian of Albany edged us in the final match and copped the Diocesan crown for the fourth straight year. A loss to CBA in that same match accounted for the only other Gibbons loss. The Knights have enjoyed strong individual efforts for the past several seasons from senior Jeff Dela- mater and junior Pat Powers. This year Jeff's 37.9 average paced the team, and Pat's 39.1 average made him second man. Much of the backup strength rested this year with two outstanding juniors, Jim Mueller, (40.0), and Mark Chylinski (42.0). Seniors Jim Murphy (43.5). Mike Mangino (45.2) and lone Seniors Jim Murphy (43.5). Mike Mangino (45.2) and lone sophomore Dave Kress contributed strong individual games. Matches are played at Schenectady Municipal, Albany Municipal, and Frear Park in Troy. The first two courses, declare Powers.

Posting a 9-3 overall dual meet record, the varsity squad surged to its first Diocesan dual meet crown since 1968 by demolishing arch-rival C.B.A. and talented Vincentian in a special season- culminating run-off race at Al- bany State. Senior co-captain Jack Right- myer and junior standout Marty Campbell, Gibbons’ one-two punch for much of the season, paced the Knights to the sur- prisingly easy victories by cap- turing the first two spots in the meet. The duo was quickly fol- lowed to the chute by seniors Joe Purcell (5th), co-captain Mike Campbell (7th), and Tim Shea (11th) as Gibbons shocked C.B.A. 22-34, and V I. 19-38. The victories were so lop- sided that the running Knights would even have beaten a com- bined C.B.A.-V.I. squad, 26-31. The run-off wins capped a fine Diocesan season in which the Varsity (6-1), the JV (5-0), the Frosh (5-0), and the premiering ND BG Girls cross country unit (1-0) all raced to league dual meet titles. With his win in the run-offs. Rightmyer locked up a perfect season individually, by remaining unbeaten by opponents in all Diocesan dual meet competition. The diminutive harrier bested the Brothers' ace Jack McCon- key twice, beat V.I.'s Joe Herken- ham on both occassions, and also topped McCloskey's Jim Murphy and Catholic Central's Paul Castle. Rightmyer also clocked an impressive 12:26 time for Cen- tral Park's 2.5 mile course to rank 13th on the all-time Bishop Gibbons harrier list for the course. And to add to his dual meet accomplishments, Right- myer raced to individual honors in the Bishop Gibbons Invita- tional, garnered runner-up laur- els in the Schenectady County Meet and Diocesan Champion- ship Race, and captured third place honors at the prestigious Cobleskill Invitational. At least to some extent. Rightmyer helped ease the loss of departing graduates Chris Carroll and Kevin Scheuer. Despite the lack of solid seven- man team depth, the Knights be- gan rolling in mid-season by cap- turing the Cobleskill Invy. the B.G.I., and the first annual Schenectady County Champion- ships Mike Campbell shook off several annoying setbacks to combine with Rightmyer, brother Marty, and Joe Purcell and Tim Shea to form the nucleas of the Gibbons attack. Marty Campbell proved his fu- ture was now” by shadowing Rightmyer throughout the sea- son and consistently placing second for the Knights. Marty, or Soup” of the Soup and Sandwhich” Campbell brothers, used early speed in most races to place 4th at Cobleskill, 5th at the rain-soaked Gibbons Ivy, 4th at the County Meet, and 4th at the Diocesan Championships, along with his runner-up finish at the run-offs. Leading the JV’s to a perfect 8-0 overall record and team championships at the Guilder- land Invy, the Schenectady County Meet, and the Diocesan Championships, were juniors Bob D'lppolitti and Paul Harpo Leikhim plus a strong quartet of sophomores;: Tom Anglesey, Damien Shea, Pat Behan, and John Shannon. Top JV performers were: D'lpper capturing the Guilder- land run with Damian Shea plac- ing third; freshman Bob Sanders winning the JV Super Dual Meet against Shaker, Colonie. Johnstown, and Niskayuna; seven Gibbons runners in the top ten at the Dio. Race: Angle- sey winning followed by Behan (3rd), Shea (5th), Shannon (6th), Brian Cipnano (8th), Beaudette (9th), and D'lppolitti (10th); and five in the top seven at the County Meet win, led by Jim Litynski (winner), and Shea (4th), Shannon (5th), Donaghue (6th), and Behan (7th). Frosh sensation Bobby Sand- ers continued the long line of championship caliber freshmen turned out by Gibbons in years past (Carroll, Camp bell broth- ers). Sanders dashed to indivi- dual honors at Guilderland, top- ping over 70 runners in his first competitive race. Sanders placed third at the Proctor Invi- tational (200 runners), ninth at the Grout, second at Cobleskill. third at the BGI, and second at the Troy Invy, before moving up to JV and Varsity competition. Sanders led a strong crew for Coach Rich Lehrer's Diocesan Champs, a team which included Tim Donahue, Mike Dickson, Mike Lochner, Dan Marin, John Alescio, Mark Gauger, Jeff Reville, Ed Pritchard, Jim Mc- Donald, Steve Dowling, and Tom Sell. The peak of the Girls' first sea- son occurred when Eileen Galla- gher, Margie John, Patti Fuerst, and Maureen Minahan placed two-three-four-five to clinch the Diocesan Championships. Mar- garet Gibbons, Chris lacobucci, Carol Cassidy, and Terry Murphy also added strength to the team. Top, Left: Marty Campbell and Jack Rightmyer discuss their strategy at Van Cortlandt Park Top.

The 1975-76 Notre Dame- Bishop Gibbons Varsity Basket- ball Knights had their ups and downs. The season got underway with a couple of innovations. The first was a scheduling ad- dition—the Blue Chip Classic in Belleville. Ontario. Coach Jim Tedisco accepted the invi- tation to the tournament be- cause he believed the experi- ences in basketball and human relations would do much to cement the team. The other change was in the form of 6-foot 6-inch junior Karl Bankowski. Karl was the top scorer and rebounder through- out the season, and consistently among the area’s leaders, with a 20-plus average and a 16 re- bound tally per game. His style of play was characterized by his first effort against Catholic Central in which his tough com- petitive play was a major factor in our upset of that well-regarded team. 70 Seniors Dave Czarnecki. Joe Isabella, Dave Jegabbi. and Dennis Kelleher were important ingredients in the team's strong- est efforts. Dave Czarnecki supplied scoring punch and re- bounding strength when it was needed. Joe Isabella was a key defensive guard and he had the knack of getting the key basket when the team needed it. Dave Jegabbi, a small, electric- quick defensive player contri- buted greatly in the season. Dennis Kelleher was the ideal sixth man; he could, said Coach Tedisco. pick up the tempo and get the team going instantly. Junior Jimmy Mueller was the premier ball handler on the team and supplied the defensive punch when it was needed. Pleasant surprises this year were forwards Mark Chylinski and Darnell Baker. Mark was second in scoring on the team and his shots were mostly jump shots with a soft touch which rolled around the rim and dropped. Dranell was sidelined for the first part of the season with a leg injury but returned after Christmas and proved an indispensable rebounder. Other players seeing action were big men Jerry Rose and John Vanderburgh. Marty Camp- bell, Kevin Parente, and Bill Campbell rounded out the squad. While both John and Jerry saw limited action, they both showed strong desire to play and a will- ingness to work the game. Marty and Kevin were both used to break presses when the occasion demanded. Bill Gallagher showed a gritty toughness on the court and a competitive spirit. The outlook for next year is very promising. With four star- ters and five substitutes re- turning, and with the addition of sevearl JV standouts—Larry Doriguzzi. Chris Haggerty, Dave Krause, Paul Fitzmaurice, and Pat Rowan—we should be in competitive form. Opposite Page, Top Left. Karl Banskowski has a distinct advantage in the lump.

Coach Mr Dave Mattice Keglers Lack Depth To Take It All At this writing, the ND-BG Bowling team sees little hope of taking the Diocesan League crown. Strong McCloskey and LaSalle teams occupied the first two places in the league through midseason. Returning to the team are seniors Joe Loubier and Pete Nealon, juniors Gregg and Gary Piatrow- ski, and sophomore Jim Harrington. Rounding out the team are juniors Jim Dunn, Pat Renzi and Joe Battaglia. Coach Mr. Stan Norman feels that this year's team is not strong enough to gain on those two teams because of our lack of depth. Two more consistent bowlers, he feels, could make us a challenger to McCloskey for the crown. Standing: Joe Loubier, Jim Harrington. Gary Piatkowski. Gregg Piatkowski. Joe Battaglia.

The obsta- cles were many—more than the usual hurdles and crossbars of actual competition—but the tackling of these obstacles made the going fun. Troubles varied from ones like fording the huge lake in front of the fieldhouse before practice to working out with forty fellow athletes in a stuffy 80-yard long hall. Coaches and teammembers ar- gued rights of way with convoys across slushy win- ter highways, and pole vaulters and high jumpers had no landing pits to practice on. Shotputters had nowhere to throw and track meets lasted until nearly midnight with school in session the next day. But when all was said and run, the Knights had compiled an overall 33-15 record against all com- ers. The opponents included those in the 25-team Tri County League; eight and six team rivals at Washington Avenue Armory and Union College meets could not stop us from compiling two wins, one second, and three third place finishes. Highlighting the championship meet portion of the season was the Gibbons-hosted Tri County League Relay Meet where Knight units placed sec- ond in the sprint medley (Joe Purcell. Mike Miller, Jeff Fellner, Tim Shea); second in the high jump re- lay (Bob and Joe Arket, Andy Ford); pole vault relay (Jeff DeLaMater, Ray Tobia, Chris Rappold); and third in the distance medley (Purcell, Fellner. Shea, Jack Rightmyer) and frosh shot put relay (Phil Rowe. Greg Mangino, Paul Sciocetti). All but the high jumpers set new school records. Seniors Arket and Rightmyer paced the team in point totals with 55-1 3 and 53-3 4 points respec- tively. and were counted on consistently to lead the team. Both seniors defeated arch-rivals to gain in- dividual Diocesan League titles in their specialities, Arket besting McCloskey’s ace Jim Murphy with a 6'3-l 2 high jump, while Rightmyer outkicked C.B.A.'s Jack McConkey for a 10:14 two-mile win. Arket posted a fourth place finish at the T.C.I.T.L. Invitational, and fifth-place leaps at the Dutchmen Games and T.C.I.T.L. Championship Meet to go along with his school-record Diocesan Meet jump and his invitation to the prestigious Eastern States Championships. Rightmyer busted the nine year old two-mile mark of current Shenendehowa distance coach Chris Schultz with an outstanding 9:59.8 effort at the Dutchmen Games, good for sixth place among the 36-team contestants. Jack also sped to a fifth- place finish at the League Championships, posting a 10:03.4 clocking. Other top varsity point-scorers were: Purcell, 37-1 4: Ford. 33-1 2; Mike Flynn, 28: Fellner, 27-1 4; Shea 26-1 4; Delamater 26: Jurczynski, 18: Litynski and Joe Miller, 12-1 4 On the frosh level. Bob Sanders and Tim Dona- hue chased after the freshman indoor mile mark of 5:01.3. posting bests of 5:01.8 and 5:11.5, respec- tively, at the T.C.I.T.L. Championship Meet at sea- son’s end. Sanders garnered third place with his performance. The girls' team set records in their three events led by Terry Murphy in the 880 (2:34), Eileen Gal- lagher in the sprints (7.9 for the 60: 6.9 for the 50). and the excellent “all sophomore mile relay squad of Murphy, Gallagher. Maureen Minahan, and Bar- bara Hamilton (with Lisa Mastrianni and Bernie Knapp alternates) (4:32). Coach Mindel said he was pleased with the sea- son on the whole, and is looking forward to a pro- ductive spring. 79 Damien Shea and Jim Coonley tail a Catholic Central runner at the Washington Avenue Armory Jack Rightmyer (above) appears to be in the thick of things in the two mile run Below, Terri Murphy leads the pack in the girls' 880 and John Shannon rounds a lonesome bend in the 1000 JUNIORS.

Successful Season Launched By A Pack Of Veterans This year's spring track team was loaded with talent and was an area contender. Led by Jack Rightmeyer. Mike Flynn, and Jeff Fellner, the squad grabbed victories in Diocesan and regional meets. Jack Rightmeyer enjoyed success in both the one and two mile run, while Mike Flynn continued to develop into the best discus man our school has seen in a longtime. Andy Ford. Bob Arket, and Joe Purcell formed a strong backbone for the team. Tim Shea and junior Bob D'lppoliti added more strength as we continued our recent tradition of fielding strong spring squads.

With four straight second- place finishes in the Diocesan League and two Schenectady City Championships immediately be- hind them, the well-conditioned club now looks to realize its potential with an outright Diocesan Crown. Effectively balancing seniors with underclassmen, the team is particularly solid up the middle with junior Marty Campbell at second base and senior John Falvo at shortstop. All-League infielders in 1975. Junior Darnell Baker, also an All-League player, will anchor the outfield in center. Left- handers Dave Staschak and Bob Callahan and right- hander E.J. Reynolds will constitute the pitching rotation. Fifth year coach Mr. Stan Norman, this year serving also as the school's Athletic Director, has continued to foster what many consider the finest high school baseball program in the area. The schedule is strong again this year; in addition to Diocesan and area Class A teams, the Gibbons squad will travel to Syracuse. New York; Trum- bull. Connecticut; and Warwick and Harrisburg. Pennsylvania. The junior varsity program is now in its third year under coach Mr Bob Flynt, and the team has scheduled an equally ambitious program for the season. Mr. Norman (top. left) signals from the dugout Bob Callahan (top right) looks as If the fence has no gates E J. Reynolds (middle right) concentrates on the action and Tim Smith stands ready Victory, Thy Name Is Woman Girls’ sports did well generally this year, but no teams in the school generated the type of pennant fever that the girls' basketball squad produced. The varsity team was one of the best teams in the area this season with its 14-4 overall record, the finest in the history of the sport at Notre Dame. The junior varsity squad had a record of 10-0, the first undefeated season ever. The Varsity was led by Kathy Lochner, senior captain and playmaker. Carol Harrigan, a fine junior guard was second in steals on the team with 30 and first in many games in scoring. Terri Deubel was the team’s 5'10 center and she led the team in rebounding with 10 per game. Meg Watrobski and Mary Bibby rounded out the starting unit this year as sophomores. Meg led the team in scoring with 201 points over 18 games. Mary Bibby showed ex- cellent rebounding ability and determination. The squad featured five more seniors: Lori Lence. Doris Ryan. Mary Ellen Osterhout, Karen Burke and Kathy Gaffney. Two talented JV players, Anne Fitzmaurice and Joanne Barbieri, were called up to the Varsity during the season. The undefeated JV team was led by Anne Fitz- maurice, Eileen DeMarco, Mary Jeanne Duchowney, Mary Ellen Mueller, and Mary Butch. Joanne Bar- bieri led the team in scoring with a 9.1 average, and Anne Fitzmaurice was seond in scoring. Sue Kress, Joan Cleary, and Margaret Gibbons rounded out the squad. The teams were both gifted this year with sturdy underclassmen, and next year's squads seem headed for equally exciting seasons. 87 ROBERTH.ARKET CHRIS ARMITAGE DANIEL M.

Cronin—Jeff Fellner—Pete Haynes Commercial Printers See Us for All Your Printing Needs Letterpress and Offset Printing The Book (Did you notice we sneaked through the year without naming it?) Without getting mawkish, I will thank the people who put this book together. I hope the students find it worth their money and worth more than a casual glance. Bob Bartfai spent a year learning from Rich Monda, the editor of the 1975 Knight, and he learned his lessons well. He was a tremendous help in getting this book finished. I am naming him editor of the 1977 yearbook. Eric Boehm learned a lot about photography this year; he is managing the school's darkroom now and will be photography editor of next year's book. He worked with me and Mr. George Davis and many of the photo- graphs in this book are Eric's. Eric will be helped next year by present sophomore Pete Tarantelli. Jim Dunn, who worked on the school’s newspaper this year, contributed hours of labor and generous help- ings of ability to the book, and I am naming him copy editor of the 1977 yearbook. For many reasons I am deeply grateful to the cheerfulness and helpfulness of two seniors, Pete Miller and Dave Hagadorn. They ran hither and thither straightening out details and generally making the Publications office a pleasant place. Their positive attitude was helpful to everyone here and I will miss having them around. The senior section was a rascal this year; the layout is complex and not always successful. The sorting, shuf- fling, selecting, cropping, stamping, typing, and laying out of this section was an object lesson in persever- ance. I thank Sara Fabian, Eileen Maciag, Kris Howlett, Chris Stapleton, Valerie Sayers, Jeanne Dowling. San- dy Swart for their effort. Dominic Slowey is another one. He fits in with Miller and Hagadorn. The business end of things is the end of things which makes the things in front of it possible. The book was saved by the ads. Dave Ditoro sold most of the ads and he will be next year’s business manager. Ed Savoie sent the bills out and organized the subscription campaign, but he is a senior, and the headaches of the near- ly thankless job of business manager must be passed on. Lastly, but not leastly, I would like to thank the “I did it my way champion of the world. Cathy Burke, who was smart enough to know that her way was better than my way. Cathy designed the first section of the book, and it looks pretty decent. My idea was to merge her idea of the seasons with the Bicentennial theme, see? Then we throw in a little of the old merger motif. I drew up a preliminary sketch of Uncle Sam planting corn in a gigantic ND-BG configuration in front of the school, see? Then, on page 2. all these kids would run around the lawn waving red, white and blue pompoms. Mr. Joseph Snapp Advisor 1�
