Waiting in line is the usual drag and sud- denly you realize that you're at the junk food end of the line and are dangerously close to the cash register and you haven't picked up a thing yet. You grab a bag of Fritos at random and hurry to find a table. Ahh, at long last - time to relax and unwind. Lean back, open the bag of chips, and start talking with your friends. Homework and other problems move to the back of your mind and you focus on weekend plans, joke around and suddenly your problems don't seem too bad because you have people to share them with. Everything seems to fall into place and the day looks like it might be okay, after all. This is just one example of how your friends can make you feel better, even when you're in the worst of moods. Everybody has someone they can talk to, and boy, does it ever help! By now you're probably won- dering what this is all about. Get! ting together is the theme of the '78 Trion. Let's practice.

Nora Leavy, Don Chan- dler, and Andrea Bart- leli try and decide whether or not to go to gym class. Mr. Chamberlain and Nlr. l-lerlihy prove that teachers can be friends. 3 GETTING TUGETHER THROUGH The problem with writing about music and its role in the lives of students today is that the topic means so many different things to different people. Disco, hard rock, country and western, electronics, the blues and jazz and some of the head- ings of the sounds that we have to choose from. lt's amazing what some people will buy to acquire the ultimate in sound. Some of the stereo and quad systems are unbelievable, rang- ing from one hundred to fifteen hundred dollars. USIG Music is used to study by, party by, dance to, languish in, and sometimes to escape to when there are unneeded pres- sures. It is also a hobby and job for many students. Some work as part-time D.J.'s at WUNH, while others have established dance bands and play at schools around the area. Some of the groups that have played here are Black Diamond, Full House, Pre- monition, and Agents of Fortune. There may be controversy as to who is the best in what type of music, whether it's Jeff Beck, David Webb and Don Borror perform in Black Diamond at one of the first dances. Moody Blues, or Carole King and Gordon Lightfoot. The high school was fortunate to have the renowned classical pianist Lorin Hollander perform at an assembly. He was very well received and his talent and phi- losophy were enjoyed by stu- dents and faculty alike. Whether it's heard at assem- blies, blaring from car radios, the juke box, or your own stereo at home, almost everyone can find some form of music to enjoy. Decisions, decisions!! Uh Oh!

HIGH The Trion staff learned today that Oyster River High School has been pushing junk food to its students. Durham police arrested members of the kitchen staff, on grounds of possessing over lOOO pounds of junk food smuggled in from warehouses around the country, The O.R.H.S. cafeteria was raided last night and police con' fiscated approximately lOO pounds of Dorito's, 50 pounds of peanut butter wafers and 60 pounds ot Crackerjacks. Spencer eagerly devours a snack, Who's got the best darn hurgers inthe whole wide world? To splurge or not to splurge - that is the question JU K FOOD! The community of Durham is in shock at this news and parents have been warned to be on the alert tor the following signs ot junk food abuse intheir children: l. Inability to speak due to full mouth. 2. Steadily increasing waistline. 3, Rising dentist's bills. lt any parent should spot any of these warning signals, he should contact Weight Watchers or Diet Workshop immediately so that action can be taken to help kids maintain a normal diet. One sobbing mother reluctantly told this reporter, I thought that there was something wrong with my son several weeks ago. l noticed he was spending money a lot quicker than usual and he always had something stuck in his teeth and strange-looking wrappers stick- ing out ot his pockets. l wish l'd done something about it sooner. Finger lickiri' good' Hey, look at this 1 Ccivittiihs rio preservatives' A group of OBHS students get together at the Nlall. Nancy DeGrace, David Sanborn, and Becky DePorte - a few of the many Burger King employees, Hey, where are you heading after practice? I dunno - I guess l'll be down at Burger King. t'Okay we'll meet ya there. This is a typical conversation which takes place between any two high school students at any given time. Burger King is a favorite hangout among OBHS students -- a place to get together, decide where the near- est party is, grab a bite to eat or just sit and talk. But, BK is not the only place where kids get together. After school hours, time is occupied in many ways. For a lot of the students, the Newington lVlall is a favorite retreat. Hours are spent wandering through the lively and colorful building, spending money, and doing a lot of looking, From the pet shop and Olympia Sports Center at one end, to Friendly's and Kar- mel Korn at-the other end, time is killed looking at puppies, pric- ing Adidas sneakers, and, above all, eating! But, if you really want to waste time and spend some money, just hop on over to the nearest theater. Banging in price from 51.00 to 53.00, theres quite a variety of movies to choose from. Among this year's hits were Rocky, Star Wars, Close Encounters, and Saturday Night Fever. And once you've seen the movie, it's obvious that you've just gotta get the record. So, you head over to Nlusicsmith or the loft at T 84 C and browse through the albums. Once you've bought the record, it's off to your friend's house to listen on his new stereo. While you're listening you can be exchanging the latest gossip or getting your homework done C??j. I I P At last, it's time to be getting home. You reluctantly enter the house, sorry that the day has ended, but there's always the good old telephone. Long dis- tance is the next best thing to being there. i l l l l i l l l l l i l i i l l 1 i i l v ge' Bonnie Prescott is in shock in a scene from Dark of the Moon. 5. -tw, .. .. . T, . .ig . 15 .

With an all-star cast of Oyster Fiiver's finest performers, we guarantee that you are in for two pages of worthwhile entertain- ment. But enough of that. Let's get on with the show! First on the agenda is our famed group of thespians, better known as the Drama Club. With such past credits as Dark of the IVIoon, The Imaginary Inval- id, Brigadoon, and their spe- cial award-winning feature, The Dumbwaiterf' they will keep you enraptured throughout the per- formance. And now a word from our sponsors. The second part of our show is devoted to the artists. Yes, folks, those people who call them- selves painters, sculptors, weav- ers, and cartoonists. Under the suspicious direction of IVIr. Wil- liam Childs, they have brought us such treats as the Parsonage Gallery Exhibition. Special credit should be given to Roger Long and David Wheeler, Foster's famous Tri-City High cartoon- IST. We hoped you enjoyed the show and will continue to sup- portthe arts atORl-IS. tt s Keep up the good work!

That is to say, do you have a study hall? The lucky recipients of one of six study halls offered at ORHS have a myriad of activities to choose from during their 50 minutes of freedom. First of all, there's the library. Under the competent leadership of lVlrs. Winslow and lVlrs. Willard, studying takes place at the tables, in the cubicles, or in the comfortable chairs by the window. Occasional outbursts of chatter or laughter may break the peace and seclusion for a moment or two, but you can be sure that lVlrs. Winslow or Rat, as Mrs. Willard is fondly called by the students, will quiet the place down within a matter of minutes. Another choice in areas of escape is the cafeteria. Complete with The Bee Gees, Aerosmith, and Kiss Con the jukebox, of coursej you can wile away the hour talking with friends, playing cards, or eating. The snack bar is open all day for the morning coffee and donut or the 6th period ice cream bar. No matter what period your study hall may be, the cafeteria is where the action is. As the warm weather draws near, however, many students take advantage of the sunshine and go outside to study and talk. fOr talk and study, as the case may bel. This provides kids with an excellent opportunity to even out their tans and breathe in the fresh, Durham air. No matter what time of year, or what time of day, l'm sure that everyone would agree that a study hall is a welcome relief. , ,. kr .Nw 4 MM.. ,am Tx' .,..a..J Lauren Broderick's tired of studying and sacks out on the stage. ff? , wg, 5105.-enum I S, X. f uv ,A Bottom row: Laurie Carlson, Sylvia Pitchler, Mary Jacoby, Sarah Colby, Sydney Vanasselt, Lisa Lar- son, Kris Swanson. 2nd row: Janet Blanchard, Lori Can- ney, Trina Morse, Kendel Dreyer, Beth Floss, Yvonne Tuberty, Emily Nico- loff, Ruth Urban, Kathy Lockhardt, Carol Hagstrom. 3rd row: Mrs. Marshall, Naomi Tillinghast, Tracy Carlson, Wendy Swanson, Lynn Howard, Jean Sanforcon, Melinda Ulrich, Beth Boyo- nowski, Terry Her- shon, Pat Horn. 4th row: Bert Mathison, Mark Williams, Jim Lincoln, Brad Robin- son, Blaine Carter, Rick Forcier, Michael Goodstein, Flon Curcio, Jim Brower, Paul Laf- fier, Cathy Flosholt.

'Tic s Oyster River High School's Music Department, headed by Mrs. Suzanne Marshall and Mr. Douglas Osborne, began the year by preparing for All-State auditions and their winter con- certs. After Christmas vacation, All New England auditions, the Solo and Ensemble Festival and Sea- coast Festival were fast approaching, and much practic- ing needed to be done. Seacoast Festival was held at Oyster River for the first time with Salem, Alvirne, and Exeter as accompa- nying schools. The band also participated in several exchange concerts throughout the year with a vari- ety of other schools.

As All State, All New England, and Seacoast Festival fthe big events of the yearj were fin- ished, students had the Spring Pops Concert and Graduation to look forward to. Each quarter brought on more auditions and concerts that kept the Orhs singers and musicians busy. jr STRATEGY OF THE BLACKA DVVHITE This year's Chess Team did a magnificent job of competing against the various high school teams in the state. Their coach, lVlr. Miliken, was always there with the support and transportation. The A team fought their way through the season and obtained one of the tallest trophies in our school showcase entitled, New Hampshire High School Chess Champions. The B team did equally well and were awarded the New Hampshire High School Team Champions, Top Novice Team trophy. You may not realize this but a Chess competition does not draw a very large crowd. There aren't even any cheerleaders. You can't even say a word during the games, but . . . the competitions are just as intense as any other sports. lt's a tough game that takes the ability to think clearly and not to make any mistakes when the pres- sure'son. Take this as an example: it a lay- up or a shot on goal doesn't go in, you still have a good chance of making a comeback, but it you lose your queen, it's all over. We will be losing Curt Knightly this year, but the team will still be very strong and we're looking for- ward to a successful '78-'79 sea- son.

CWhat can you expect living in New Hampshire?J Sometimes it isn't always easy finding a ride to the ski areas up north or scraping enough money together to pay for a lift ticket. Not all of us are good enough to make the ski teams, which would give us both the ride and the discount on the tickets, so are we left out in the cold Cso to speakj? No!! There is an answer. Join the ski club. The Oyster River ski club takes off almost every weekend, during the winter of course, and spends a fun filled day on one of the breath taking mountains. This year the club took an entire weekend to travel to Jay's Peak where the members stayed over night and got to ski to their hearts content. Though there were rumors that the temper- ature was as low as - 10 and with a wind chill factor involved dropped to an ear chill- i ing - 50. Whether these weather stories are I true or not, it was cold.

This year in the Tri-State Math League, ORHS was runner- up in Division Il and third over all. Kent Leonard was the high scoring senior in the Tri-State Math League, an honor for him as well as Oyster River. The past several years has seen a growth in the math team in both its size and spirit. lt has gained recognition throughout the school and community. Spe- cial thanks should be given to Mrs. Barbara Hill and to Mr. Peter Stoykovich for helping the math team achieve their goals and honors.

THE MOUTH OF THE RIVER OE CGURSEI The results of the annual ORHS favorite newspa- per contest were released early this morning. Plac- ing third in the contest was The National Enquirer. Coming in at a close second was The Rolling Stone, and in first place by an overwhelming majority was THE MOUTH OF THE RIVER! We asked several students why they enjoyed read- ing the Mouth. One student replied, Because it covers all the school news in detail. l can always find out what's going on in the Drama Club or guidance office. Another student, dressed in sneakers and gym shorts, explained, I like the sports coverage. The 'Duke's Corner' is always up-to-date and gives me the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat. The third person we interviewed told us, I really like to gossip and the Personals keep me informed. So there you have it. The Mouth of the River is the people's choice. t -..- E ,V EDITORS Front: Sheri Clark, feature edi- tor, Sue Valenza, typing editor, Kendel Dreyer, news editor, Bonnie Prescott, assistant edi- tor, Eleanor Boy, sr. issue.

For a solid year Mrs. Milliken prepared for the MAPS conference which was to be hosted by the ORHS planetar- ium. More on that later. All year long the students ran planetarium shows for the Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, and grade schoolers along with many other groups. They were shown shows that ranged anywhere from the Journey to the Moon program, which is a favorite amongst the lit- tle children, to the unforgettable Pie Wars which was written and directed by that Loony-tune Roger Long and starred such interest- ing characters as O. D. Whatta- junkie, Princess Laya, and RUC- THRU. lt was an entertaining show to say the least. Everyone is invited to visit the Planetarium, just take your shoes off first, please. We even made Sky and Telescope magazine' f ff'3I f Mrs. Milliken takes charge at the podium. Flick and Lisa check in the visitors. i M.A.P.S. 8 What's this? A homemade telescope? April was a tense month for Mrs. Milliken and her Plane- tarium staff as the weekend for the MAPS Conference drew closer. It was to mark the most important year thus far for the Oyster River Planetarium as the high school hosted close to two-hundred very impor- tant and famous people from all overthe US. To accommodate all these persons for the weekend, Mrs. Milliken rented the New Eng- land Center and The Meadow- brook Motel in Portsmouth a year in advance. She also made arrangements with the high school to have the gym and the cafeteria for setting up display cases, portable domes and other space orien- tated contraptions. Many of the high school students that were associated in any way with the Planetarium helped out to make the conference a success. A big congratula- tions goto you, Mrs. Milliken. Now take a good, long vaca- tion! Wendy and Sally see to the needs of a visitor at dinner held in the OR cafeteria. 1 S.A.C.

And their service to the school is impressive as well. Though they may not have been overly flamboyant, they did a lot of little things that must be done. The biggest aid to the school which they provided was the activities calendar they set up at the beginning of the year. This helped all the clubs figure out when they would hold their dances, banquets, plays, and concerts. If this had not been done, mass confusion would set in, not to mention a bit of hostility. We planned our dance for tonight. Well that's just tough because we're going to do our one-acts tonight. Another big favor which the S.A.C. did for ORHS, was to help in picking up trash around the grounds, preventing the school from becoming an eyesore to the community. On the fun side, a show starring renowned bas- ketball whiz, Crazy George, was set up by the S.A.C. during the winter. Performing Globetrotter- like tricks, he amazed the audience. Special thanks to Miss Coakley, S.A.C. advisor. The Robert C. Hollis Youth Center Keeps Us Busy on Weekends What has a large membership, a name dedicated to a hard working man, and is located in the Robinson Rudd building across from the police sta' tion? If you answered the Robert C. Hollis Youth Center, you are correct. For the past three years the Center has provided a place for kids to go on week- ends and school nights. If you like music, food, ping pong, pinball and some company, the Youth Center is the place to go. Some people may say, Ya, but there are always cops hanging around. Well, for your informa- tion, even policemen have a social life, and once they're out of uniform, they're a lot of fun to be with. The Youth Center Council has worked hard to restore the building and turn it into a nice place with a pleasant atmosphere. They have given up much of their time to be at the Center every night of the week. In addition, they opened up the building during vacations so that kids would have some- thing to do. At Christmas time, they sponsored a dance featuring Premon' ition, which was extremely well received. And once again this year, they held a raffle for a three-minute shopping spree at Shop 'n Save. To the members and advisors of the council, we would all like to say thank you.

Have you stopped to think about the three sports banquets held annually? Or per- haps you noticed the jackets the members of championship teams have been wearing? Well, it you are one of those inquisitive people who is curious about these things let us tell you how they got there. There is a group of dedicated parents and students who get together to support the athletic program at Oyster River High. Their name -the Booster Club. Each year, they sell the blue and white Bobcat buttons which most everyone wears to athletic events. In addition they hold sports banquets in the fall, winter, and spring, to honor the students who have participated on sports teams for that season. And every time ORHS comes up with a championship team Cwhich is quite oftenj, the Booster Club has a banner made for the team, which then hangs in the gym, and awards jackets to all of the team members.

We had defeated Portsmouth by one minute twenty seconds in penetration time, for a berth in the tourna- ment. We greeted them with praise and attempted enthusi- asm, but their inevitable tears came none the less. Over forty girls assembled in mid-August under three enthusi- astic coaches, out of those forty- odd players, it eventually came down to eighteen-all Seniors Cmost of whom had been playing together since Jr. Highj Oyster River's Varsity Field Hockey Team. Being able to make up an entire Varsity team with Seniors doesn't happen very often, espe- cially a team with such talent, determination, and experience. The team had many goals in mind at the end of last summer, to improve, to work well together as a team, to strive for excel- lence and to win the State Cham- pionship. They achieved all but one, yet they came as close as they could to that last one without getting it. They entered into and finished their 3-month long season with high spirits, enthusiasm, and a lot of support behind them. Sticks clashed with legs and groans drifting to the side- lines. Bulging muscles were visible where socks had fallen around the ankles, and searching eyes peered from anxious, sweaty faces. Finally the whistle. lt was over. THEACIO Y OF DEFEAT SOCCER What can you say about a team who has gone undefeated for the last ten years? This not only marks a full decade of unde- feats but also means that the JVs have never lost a game they have played since they started a JV soccer team ten years ago. There are very few sports teams that can say they have never lost a game, but ORHS has one and we are proud of it. This also means that the boys playing on the JV team will soon move up to varsity and start bringing home the goals there too. Here's to ten more years, JVs! l Another victory, well, ofcourse.

With a total of merely 4 goals scored against them, while OR tallied up a score of 42 goals. This shows not only what an aggressive forward line they had, it also displays the strength ofthe defense. The JV girls worked hard all season and showed tremendous potential when scrimaging against the Varsity in practice.

'77 BCDBCATS' VARSITY SOCCER The '77-'78 Varsity soccer season was a very surprising and productive year. Because this was Coach Clark's last sea- son of many dedicated years of coaching, the team set their hopes for the State Champion- ship. Off to a dismal 2-2-2 start, their season was in jeopardy. With numerous changes in their offense, it finally clicked. They weren't to suffer another loss the rest of the season. it J .yi , tl B The highlight of the year came one afternoon on a rainy, muddy, cold field as the Bobcats hosted the Rams of Raymond. The Rams were undefeated and were expecting an easy win. However, the Bobcats thought differently. From the very start they were in complete control. Passing and shooting at will, the Bobcats dominated right to the gun. Final score, Bobcats 7 - Rams 2. The Bobcats finished an impressive 10-2-2 season, and were set for the playoffs. Crush- ing the Rams gave them their confidence. Commenting after the playoff game that ended in a close defeat for the Bobcats, the coach said, Never have we totally outplayed another team to go down in defeat. But we have a young and spirited team that's sure to be right back up there next year ' 1 l F . . .lk hBOVE: Man Manox dlsplays some em, The team stretches out before the game ive ball handling tactics.

VOLLEYBALL LOCKING lt was the end of the season, and the team was returning home from the last match on the mini-bus which had driven them to all their away games. For the seniors on the Varsity Volley- ball squad, it meant the end of three seasons of playing on a team that they had seen grow stronger and more skillful every year. The others who would remain looked forward to the next year when their team would con- tinue to grow. All in all, the 1977 season had been the best yet. Not only had the squad improved its record from the previous two years, but they had felt and played more like a team than ever before. They had been more aggressive against opposing teams, and had had much more control over the ball. But most important, they had more confi- dence and team spirit. l i l l l TEAMS UP. Led by their new coach, Boy Swanson, they never let them- selves down by giving up. Even when pitted against more experienced teams like Farmington and Nute, the Bobcats proved that they could hold their own. Now, as the bus pulled up to the school, they started singing their final cheers for the year. Although they hadn't made the tournament, they had proved that no one should underestimate any Oyster River team. And that, of course, is what meant the most.

TI-IE CIRL'S VARSITY BASKET- BALL TEAM AGAI I VVEARE TI-IE CHAMPIONS!! The 1977-78 girl's basketball season proved to be, one of the most successful seasons ever for Oyster River. The defending Class A champions going into the season, the girls completed it as the Class lVl champions. The two-class system of A and AA was changed to a four-class sys- tem similar to the boys' with classes lVl, I, and L. Last season they were undefeated and started a 20 game winning streak. lt looked as though the streak would remain intact until they suffered an overtime loss to Class l Somersworth in the sixth game of the season. Oyster River ended the season ranked num- ber one with a 15-1 record. They drew a bye in the first round and went on to defeat Plymouth and Littleton in the quarter-final and semi-final rounds. Oyster River met Thayer in the finals, the only Class lVl team to finish the sea- son undefeated. A powerful first half gave Oyster River a com- manding 9 point lead, a lead that diminished to one point as Thayer staged a comeback. Oys- ter River held on and won 55-54 to win the state title for the sec- ond consecutive year. The key to the success of this year's team is the unquestiona- ble depth that it held. Seven of the ten team members were sen- iors but all were determined to end the season successfully. Going after a title for the first time as done in 1977 was found to be completely different than defending one in 1978.

Returning only Iettermen from last year's 20,2 squad, the team was hard-pressed to have a winning year. Not only did they have a winning season, with a 14-4 record, but they made it to the semi-finals of the state tournament, losing to Plymouth in double overtime. The other amazing thing about this team was that aside from one senior, the squad was comprised entirely of under' classmen. So you can be certain that this team will be devastating next year and should bring the M crown back to Dura ham. Among the highlights of this year's sea- son were double wins over Newmarket, including a 51 -48 win at home. Oyster River fans lost a lot of fingernails this year as the Bobcats were involved in four overtime con- tests and many games were decided by five points or less, All in all, it was a great year, with many underclassmen gaining experience for the upcoming seasons.

Well the boy's ice hockey team had to do just that, and it wasn't only on the weekends but before school too. Many times the team members walked wearily into first period class with their eyes closed and hair still wet from a quick, scalding shower. The competition just to make the team was overwhelming. lt seemed that half the ORHS boy's population tried out and only a select Capproxi- mately 205 few made the line up. Their coach was picky but he must have known what he was doing as he had once not too long ago, been a member of the UNH hockey team. His name is Rick Ohlmes and this was his first year coaching the Oys- ter River team. Next year the competition will probably be just as tough so start practicing soon, guys!

One hot, muggy day last summer ten girls gathered together. After the usual chorus of hi's, they formed a circle and began to jump and yell in unison. Crazy, you say? Hardly - these girls are better known as the ORHS cheerleaders, leaders of school spirit at Oyster River. Both JV and Varsity squads worked hard throughout the sum- mer and fall, perfecting their cheers. Their new uniforms gave them an added boost as they anx- iously awaited the start of soccer season. As winter approached, so did basketball and the JV squad got their chance to exhibit their talent. Though many people take the cheerleaders for granted, they work as hard as any of the sports to achieve perfection. Through rain, snow, sleet, and hail the cheerlead- ers came through, cheering the soccer team and basketball team on to tournament berths. This year, however, the cheer- leaders got to participate in a tour- nament of their own. ln March, they placed fourth out of ten area squads competing in a cheering tournament at Farmington High School and received a trophy which stands in the display case.

THREE YEARS ,, . OLD Most people didn't realize a girl's ice hockey team even existed, but for three years the group of determined females have practiced 6:00 to 8:00 on Saturday mornings at Snively Arena. The team members are between the ages of 10 and 17, but even with such a big difference, everyone got along fine together. During the games, the team was always happy with everyone encouraging each other. Though the team was young, they fought each game to the end. This past season has been the girls' best. lt was the first time they had ever been given full uniforms to keep for the season. Perhaps the blue and gold outfits had an extra effect on them, but credit must be given to their hard work, persistence, and their coach, Debbie DeMoulpied a graduate of Oyster River and UNH. The team will lose five of the founders of the team, for they will graduate this year. Debbie will also be end- ing her coaching this year. There will be a need for inter- ested girls, and hopefully, the sport will continue for many years to come.

THEYSKH X-COUNTRY SKI TEAMS DOVVNHILL We sat against the cold wall tiles, legs together, arms crossed, without anything to sit on. Hot, salt sweat flowed off our faces while the upper leg muscles began quivering. The pain was too much. We slid down the walls, our skin sticking to the tiles, and crumpled into sweat soaked, ago- nizing forms, lying randomly about the corridor. Jack Dudley and Gordon Smith, the ORHS ski team coaches, started off the season with eight weeks of dry land training. The first snow fell on November 29 and was gone by December 1. Then, on the Monday before the Christmas recess, the good word came through that we would be skiing the mountains and ski trails very soon. That Monday found us in front of the Shop n Save parking lot at 6:45 a.m. No one gets up in 20 degree weather to stand about a shopping center waiting for a bus, but the ski teams did. The only problem was indeed the bus ride which took anywhere from two to three hours depending on where abouts the meets were held. Ragged Mountain was a favorite practice spot for the downhill teams. The cross country teams faired a little easier as they could practice on the trails around the school.

With Coach Marie Polk leading the eight member team, the girls lobbecl and volleyed their oppo. nents to the ground for court as the case may beb making 1978 the sec- ond year in a row that the girls' ten- nis team has received the champi- onship tor the state. Of course this is to be expected because the play- ers are all very good, however, due to graduation, ORHS will miss 4 of the girls next year. Who will fill the spaces?

Anybody who has ever taken tennis lessons has heard those commands over and over again and any one one the ORHS tennis teams will tell you that they work. Just watch them in action sometimes and see where a lot of practice and patience can lead you. Coach Barry Cahoon, a very good tennis player himself, has been working his eight man ' i 1 team into tiptop form since the l first blade of grass peeked out of l the snow. The boys were able to V t . play anytime they wanted right here at the school since the ten- nis courts were completed last summer 1977. You want a spot on the team next year?

There was a lot of young, new talent on the field with two fresh- men starting in key positions. As the season progressed the girls showed persistence as they built a winning streak of three games in one week, and picked up two other victories later in the sea- son. Unlike most teams, the team didn't necessarily play to win - but rather played to have a good time. And have a good time they did, which everyone agrees on. SVVINGIN l t 5? il . N si 5.

What's it like to hit a home- run? Well from aside the wonder- ful feeling of accomplishment, they're great. Or so we're told by one team member. They not only boost your batting average, but you can get a RBI to your credit and you score at least one run. All our team needs are a few more home-runs and they would be all set.

MEN FRESHMEN FRESI-IMEN FRE Remember that first year at gooo' ole O. Rl-l.S.? We entered through the front doors on the first day of school, nervous and excited, decked out in our new Levi's and clogs. My gosh, this place is huge compared to the Middle School. Ya, look at how tall the lockers are. As we stepped into the gym, we were amazed at all the upperclassmen sitting on folding chairs in the center of the room and on the bleachers opposite us. Gee, there's an awful lot of them. Oh, they're no better than we are - just older. Ya right, l've got to think big. We made it through the assembly and proceeded to meet our new teachers. Four periods later, the bell to go to lunch rang. Hey look - no more sauteed liver and rock hard apple crisp. They have real hamburgers, potato chips and ice cream. Let's sit over here. Wow, a jukebox - anybody got a quarter? Well, what do you think of the place? lt's okay I guess. l've got tons of homework already, though. Yup, lt's sure going to be a lot harder than Jr. High. We made it through the after- noon, found our lockers, CDO you want top or bottom? Remember, l'm shorter than youj, gathered our books and went to catch the bus. Hey, guess what! We made it through our first day of high school. Only three years, 179 days to go. l'm psyched.

Well, this year wasn't too bad either. We were finally upperclassmen. Hey, that's right. And we made the varsity teams. Of course the best part of the year was finally being able to drive.

CHARTER 7 OE THE SENIOR SUCCESS STORY You'll miss us when we're gone. This was a line used by many seniors over the course of the year when teachers com- plained about all the rowdiness in the classrooms and hallways. The teachers simply sighed and agreed that, yes, the class of '78 would be missed once they had graduated, but meanwhile, couldn't they just calm down?!? - Ha. What the teachers didn't realize was that these kids had waited three long years to be rowdy. They had watched the classes of '75, '76 and '77 come and go, in all their glory, and now it was their turn. They started the year off slowly with a dance, which was, naturally, very successful. As the year progressed, the seniors got the adrenalin flowing and pro- duced the best Sr. Follies to date. Time passed quickly, and at long last, spring arrived. It was the fourth and final quarter ever for this class. So they set out to make it the best. Needless to say, they succeeded. They made a fine showing at the June ior Prom, given in their honor. The Senior Banquet, held at the Ashworthon Hampton Beach, was different from banquets in the past. In addition to a great meal and the presentation of awards Cjumpropes to the class skippers, water pistol to the stu- dent with the quickest temper to cool him offj, this year's banquet featured disco music and danc- ing until 12:3O. The highlight of the evening weere movies taken of the Follies. Everyone enjoyed laughing at themselves as they reminisced. The following week, after exams had ended, a picnic was held at Hilton Park. Despite cold weather, many members of the class attended. A game of soft- ball Cboys vs. girlsj kept every- one amused along with frisbees and daredevil acts on the bridge. At long last the big moment came - 7:30 p.m. June 16th, 1978. With caps upon their heads and butterflies in their stomachs, the seniors marched into the gymnasium. They had completed Chapter 1 of their story and were ready to move on to Chapter 2. l I l ABOVE: Dave Berquist seems to be hav- ing little trouble on his crutches.

The laughter soon turned to amazement and then shock as one, two, no, a whole group of seniors came strutting by, clad in nightclothes and slippers. Had they all gone mad?

Made up of some of the more daring guys in the class, the skit was a tribute to our devoted ORHS cheerleaders. Those participating were Chris Brewer, Guong, Scott Tur- cotte, Bill Dawson and Dan Gordius. SOMETHI C FAMILIAR. . . A favorite was Leader of the Pack. In this pic- ture, we see Sandy Davis and Kathy Childs sob- bing over the loss of the leader, Sue Prescott. As the lyrics of the opening number suggested, the 1978 Senior Follies did indeed contain something familiar and something pecul- iar. For, from the moment the Senior class stepped on stage, the audience was ready for a really big show. And that's exactly what they got. Lip sinkings of Duke of Earl , Leader of the Pack , and Donny and Marie kept the audience laughing. Musical numbers in the show included a rendition oq the Barbara Streisand hit, Evergreen, and a comical approach to the age old favorite, Honeybun. The audience was not the only ones who enjoyed the show, how- ever. The 8O cast members, all of the people who worked behind the scenes running lights and the technical end of the show, as well as the ushers, had a great time working together. People got to know class members they hadn't known in all four years of high school. And the proof of their friendship came during the final week of pro- duction, when things began to get tense. Only four days to go and the acts were not together, there was a lack of props, and, most of all, there was a lack of cooperation. As Showtime grew closer, day by day, the directors, cast, and crew pulled together to produce a two- night extravaganza with a standing room only crowd both nights. In summing up the Senior Follies of 1978 it can only be said that it produced old situations, new complications, nothing pretentious or polite but rather it was a tragedy tomorrow, COMEDY TONIGHT!

Sl-IAPIRO What can you say about a guy who wears sports shirts Cuntuckedj once warm weather arrives, talks sports with the students before school starts and always has a joke to tell? You can say that he must be some guy, especially to put up with the hassles that being vice principal brings. Oh, by the way, you may be wondering just who it is we are talking about - it's Mr. Shapiro. Mr. Shapiro, at first glance, gives the students the impression of being the Incredible Hulk. As he stalks down hall- ways with a serious expression upon his face, students cringe and pass him reluc- tantly. But once you see the grin cross his face and hear his deep chuckle echo throughout the building, you know there is nothing to fear. lVlr. Shapiro's role as disciplinarian is one he does not enjoy. He has more fun with student schedules and report cards. CHis spare cash comes from blackmail money.J But whatever job he does, he does it well, and for that the student body is thankful. MR. DALEY Nlany of you may have read Tri-City High, the cartoon take-off on ORHS, featured each week in Foster's Daily Democrat. One of the 'principal' charac- ters in the comic strip was a certain Mr. Nitely, the harried head of Tri-City High. Mr. Nitely frequently found himself in sticky situations Cfor instance, the time he was consumed by a man-eating Iockerj. You readers may have noticed- that this caricature bore a resemblancei to a familiar person right here at ORHS. Yes, indeed, that person is our own Mr. Daley. Of course, Mr. Daley rarely found himself being attacked by lockers, but he did find that he was always kept busy. Meetings, conferences, and the usual office work kept Mr. Daley penned in his, office for part of each day, but despite itl all, he attended sporting events, plays and other student-oriented activities,i much to the students' delight. He also tried to communicate with each student individually at lunchtime or in between classes. For his hard work and devotion to ORHS, Mr. Daley is presented with the distinguished Mr. Nitely award. N Mr. Baxter never had a chance to try any career plans he may have had because four days after his high school graduation, he was drafted into the army. He spent twelve years in the army before he turned to teaching. His goal in teaching is to use history as a medium to teach students to think for themselves and Once a jock, always a jock. The typical, modest, Phys. Ed. teacher and coach, Mr. Boulanger, didn't have much to say. develop their own ideas. Mr, Chamberlain an art major?? Well . . . no, he changed to Industrial Arts after two years of art. After college he spent four and a half years as a pilot in the Air Force. His adventurous spirit leads him to try sport parachut- ing, sailing, scuba diving, and hunt- ing. Mr. Childs is a very lucky person. To him there is little separation between work and recreation because his job teaching art is also his hobby. His goal in teaching is to make kids reach higher than they think they can. His artistic encouragement was further revealed this year in an exhibit at The Parsonage Gallery. Needless to say, the life of Coach Clark revolves around sports. This year he is retir- ing from the soccer field, but he'll be seen in the ORHS gym and at the UNH sporting events, the Rockingham Race Track and on the golf course! The quality ofa man's life is in direct proportion to his commitment for excel- lence, regardless of his chosen field of endeavor. - V. Lombardi. A hard quote to live up to but Miss Coakley seems to reach excellence quite often. She plays competitive tennis and has led the girl's bas- ketball team to victory for two years in a row. A new program was added to the list at ORHS this year. Career Education, instructed by Mr, Crothers, is a step in the right direction towards helping high school students plan for their futures. Between this and suffering in the Driver Ed car, Mr. Crothers finds time to go scuba diving, build a house and do carpentry work. Gerontology, Psychological Therapy, Guidance Counseling. If you need help figuring out what these words mean go to Miss D'Esopo. She has aspirations of trying all three, Obviously, Miss D'Esopo enjoys being a part of the helping profes- sion. But when she's not giving someone assistance she can be found playing raquet ball, tennis, jogging, ice-skating, cross-country skiing or singing. Who grew up in Illinois and became famous? Not only Abe Lincoln, but Mrs. Dingle! She's our Eng- lish teacher who also cooks, reads and writes poetry, travels, and camps. FACULTY First on Miss Dubois's list of priorities is people especially her little darlings in school. Could she possibly be referring to her French students??! Second on her list are her dumb poodle, traveling, and read ing French novels. On the surface, she's a mother faced with the prospect of all four children in college and one on the way to the altar. Below the surface, she is a former New Eng- land Champion swimmer. She was in training from the age of twelve to fifteen years old and won third place in the Junior National Back- stroke. Mrs. Estaver has a motive for teaching one of h lar - Science Fiction. She wants her students their environment and future. She is concerned about the effects of growth in New Hampshire. Town planning and tant to her too. Through Science Fiction she hopes to get students to think of the future and plan ahead. V' er classes in particu to become aware of land use are impor We discovered another side to Mr. Hall. Besides being our coun- selor, he's also a do-it-yourseIfer and an outdoorsman. He built his own house and occupies his free time snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, mountain climbing, and camping. Mr. Merlihy experimented this year with a new local history Besides being the busy, bus- tling, busi- ness teacher, Mrs. Hess is also active outside school. She enjoys attending athletic events, read- ing myste- ries, cooking, and embroi- dery. course. His after school activities are reconstructing his house and enjoying his ten year old hobby - antiques, Next year he will again be teaching a new class - Maritime His- tory, part of next yea r's ASHORE project. Who comes from Homestead, Pennsylvania and is Polish and Hungarian? He wanted to build roads and is very interested in photography. lt's Mr. Gasowski, our English teacher and play director! Through his experience at ORHS, he feels that high school is a meeting ofthe minds. Mrs Hull proves that teachers are not lust teachers Sure, she's a rnath teacher and we wouldn't be too surprised to know that she used to be a statistician and belongs to the Associated Teachers in Math ot New England But how many ot us would guess that shes President of the Newing ton Historical Society? Mrs Hull obviously has a great appre ciation lor tirneworn works of art and that's why shes con cerned about their preservation How many of us know at twelve years old what we want to do with our life? Ouite a few have ideas. But how many of us at years old will still be doing the things we set out to do at twelve years old? Ever since the 6th grade Mrs. Hunter knew that Home Economics was her niche in life. Today she is still very contented with her occupation, but she eventually hopes to open a fabric shop. Q31 sr 4--nf M. fk. Mrs. Howard has switched roles with her husband. She is teaching while he stays home doing the pots and pans and changing diapers. ln between cor' recting papers and running off dittos, Mrs. Howard likes to camp. FACULTY There is a new face in the math department this year. After three years teaching chemis- try in Maine and four years chasing her small children around the house, she needed a change. So here she is at ORHS teaching math, completing crossword puzzles, col- lecting stamps, sewing and playing the piano. Who is this mystery per- son? Why Mrs. Kallberg, of course. Q.. N FACULTY A baseball player? Not any more. A dentist? Almost. An intensive gardener? Yes. That's Mr. Kazura. You say he's a biology teacher? Well, yes, he is, but after being at school all day he needs some- thing else to talkto. We all know Mrs. Kelts can speak Japanese, Spanish and English fluently, but she also speaks German. She has held several interesting jobs before coming to teach here at ORHS. Her variety of experience in languages has allowed her to work in an art gallery in Ger- many, and as a secretary to the Mexican Ambassador in Tokyo. lt was soon discovered that Mrs. Kitfield is a very busy person and hard to pin down when she is involved with the Ski Club. As a math teacher, one of this year's big projects is help ing OR students with metric conversion. Bach, Brahms, Beethoven? That's the Miss Lawson that most of us are una- ware of, but whoever said that gym teachers couldn't be music lovers? What we do know is that she likes backpacking, canoeing, and adding diversity to the Phys, Ed. program. ,. 32 P Aging!! , r When Mrs. Milliken is not reading, landscaping, or tra- velling, she is making chocolate cake for her husband. Her main project this year is a planetarium conference in April - sponsored solely by her students. She is very proud of them and believes that kids should do the work, the teachers should simply set it up, Mrs, Mil- liken hadn't planned on being a teacher at first but she is very happy with her lite. She considers ours a great world, with the exception of Mr. Milliken's puns at 8:00 a.m. I Since school is so important to her, Mrs. Meyers doesn't have much time for hobbies but she does play bridge and enjoys gar- dening. Last summer she claimed she had a great garden by sheer acci- dent! Mrs. Marshall's ambition in high school was to become a biology teacher, and that's exactly what she did. She taught in New York for awhile, then took time out to raise her four children. She is now teaching again- but music instead - at ORHS, ORMS, and Lee, She enjoys soul singing and musical comedy. She has done many solos at Theatre By the Sea and the Hackmatack Playhouse. Who could have guessed the conservative exterior of Mr, Milliken concealed an eccentric nature! He confided, My special hobby is cutting oft students' heads with a guillotine and shrinking them down to the size of their brain and hanging them above the black' board. The reason you can't see them is that they are so small they areinvisiblef' Mrs. Moore should be recognized for 22 years of service as the high school nurse, and she is still going at it! Aside from her dedication to ORHS, she is also a town clerk in the legislature and is active in the mili- tia. As if this isn't enough, Mrs. Moore has taken up several hobbies, of which include gardening and tennis. In addition she is building her retirement home. wwff Mr. Charles Perry is forever immortalized by the sign that hung on his desk declaring Admiral Perry is in command. Mr. Perry has read almost all of the Charlie Brown books along with some political novels, while watching cartoons on Satur- day mornings. When asked what he wanted to be in high school, Mr. Perry said, Out. Z If you didn t see the new psychology teacher this year it is probably because teaching is only one of his many jobs. Mr. Pruitt is the minister of the Lee church, Madbury church, and a member of the UNH campus Ministry. Swimming, cross country skiing and Bently Chis golden retrieverj help to keep Mr. Pruitt in shape. i Too many outside interests seems to be Mr, Osborne's only problem. After all, how many music teachers do you know own a real estate business, build houses, do electrical wiring. But he is a musician first and is enthusiastic about expanding the Oyster River music department. l 126 In addition to being a career woman Mrs Strout has many interests as a homemaker Braiding weaving house designing sewing and rose gar dening are a few of her specialties .inf y A t, ,, ' W- .f - ' ' , If 're,,r ,t t - ' W r ' if Q f .- 1 If 0 Mrs. Smith was kept busy this year advising the cheer- leaders and soph- omore class. Besides these activities she uses her tal- ents typ- ing out Snoopy calendars on one of the com- puters. i 127 Cows, pigs, chickens and dogs all keep Mrs. Winslow busy on her farm. But a food co-op 1 and natural food store . keep her all the more enterprising. She is the proud grand- mother of eight. - I She wanted to write the Great American Novel but ended up on the opposite side of the fence by working for a New York publisher. Now she's pursuing still another avenue of the writing field by teaching English. But Mrs. Whaley doesn't just teach, she trains students to think for them- i selves, not just recite information. 3 This was Ms. Drake's first year at good ole ORHS. Mrs. Barbara Robbins, Mrs. Marlene Gillen, Mrs. Barbara Clark control the office. S E C R E TA RIES i l l l ' ,fs 'Q ' xg Mr, Charles Bennett. Mr. Robert Cunningham. Mr. Amos Tetu. 7 ,,..-. Nlr.

KITCHEN STAFF IA ITORS There were many times when a student, or even a care- less teacher, had forgotten a book or needed to get into the school for a meeting and the doors were closed, locked! Then just as that person was about to turn away a janitor sped to his or her aid and, with a swift turn ofthe key, let that person in. The students and teachers of Oyster River High owe a lot to these fine gentlemen for not only do they keep the building clean but they make great conversationalists and are everybody's friend. In 1978 ORHS obtained several new ianitors. Mr. Bob Cunningham, Mr. Charlie Townsend and one of our own students, Benie Durgin.

BA, ,M- ,J What do a Boz Scaggs song, a lot of rolling waves, and a slightly foggy evening have in common? They are all elements which made up the Junior Prom, held on May 27 aboard the Viking Queen. The prom turned out to be a tremendous success being that nobody got seasick, the boat did not get off course, and the waves did not splash overboard. Aside from these wonderful aspects of the dance, the evening was enjoyed by all, as Full House, featuring ORHS graduates, played music before and after dinner. ln between dances, couples retreated to the deck above to cool off and admire the view, as the boat sailed around the lsles of Shoals. The evening ended as the boat reached the dock amid the strains of Harbor Lights, the prom theme. lt was a time to remember for everyone. How romantic!

Yup, Bonnie, it's all over with. The 1978 Oyster River High School yearbook, alias the Trion, is here. In part color and full black and white, all 160 pages C731 x 101723, optima italic headlines and modern type. And a full color cover! Enough of these technicalities, though let's get on with the facts. What facts? We have started a new tradition here at Oyster River. What's that? We have produced the first legiti- mate fall yearbook complete with spring sports, graduation, junior prom, and Sr. Follies. Through- out the year a lot of people have helped us put together this piece of non-fiction. We would like to thank all of them for their sup- port. Especially we say thanks to Sheri Clark, Jennifer Batson, Judy Barker, Mary Ann Booska and as well as our photographer, Paul Butterfield and our business manager, Paul Hatch. Needless to say, putting together a yearbook is an experi- ence in itself. We gained our expertise during the summer after our junior year, putting together the belated '77 Trion. After attended a Yearbook Work- shop at which time we gained much knowledge about copy- writing and layout, we proceeded to put this together. So, Bonnie, this is it, there's nothing left to say. We've said enough as it is, Kendel. Without further ado, we bring you our version of the 1978 TRION. THE TRIO STAFF. THANKS GOODBYE GOOD LUCK MR. C.

Kast speaks to the class amid a sea of tassled caps. if FAREVVELL TU THE CLASS Twas the night before graduation, when all throughout the school, not a person was stirring, not even a janitor. The chairs were set up on the gym floor with care, in hopes that our relatives soon would be there. We seniors were nestled all snug in our beds while visions of diplomas danced in our heads. And Mamma in her flannels as Dad took off his tie, had just settled down for a good, long, sad, cry. When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter, I sprang from the televi- sion to see what was the matter. When what to my wondering eyes should appear but a noisy brown four-door and a keg full of cheer. With a rowdy driver so lively and hardy, I knew in a moment it must be a party. As I drew in my head and was turning around, I saw the group standing before me, making all kinds of sounds. A whole lot of munchies they had stuffed in a sack, and as I began to ask why, they all started to yack. Their eyes how they twinkled, their smiles were quite merry, and when they laughed they looked like a bowlful of cherries. They were hooting and howling, a right jolly old group, and I smiled when I saw one beginning to droop. A wave of their arms and a shake of their heads soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread. They spoke not a word but went straight to their fun, and it was then that I realized I had lost - they had won. Why are you doing this? I asked one more time. Early graduation party! they yelled, as I ran out of rhymes. lt's been a long four years, but they've all been worth it. As the Class of '78 splits up and goes in different directions, we'd just like to thank the faculty and everyone connected with the school, who has made our stay an enjoyable one.

He was a man devoted to our school, the people in it and the joy of life. Not only will he be missed for his devotion to his job, but for his smiling face and friendly attitude. We all appreciate everything he has done for us. t' The Joseph Drapeau scholarship was awarded to Paul Hatch and Justin Cor- row by Mr. Thompson at graduation. The scholarship was given to the student who planned on pursuing a career in a voca- tional field. 4 fi! aw gp 'E 22,1 2 vu f ,sk xi 'MQ' M aff? Images a Year G0 JSA Qi? iii?
