Text from Pages 1 - 282 of the 1988 volume:

We are still walking, yet we are not the same people we were when we began. Our eyes are open, our senses refined, our horizons broadened. We no longer view the walls around us as looming and intimidating ... they now restrain us, keeping us from the taunting rays of sunshine we see through the windows. It appears gradually, yet startlingly. It approaches steadily, and we look upon it with mixed sentiments; we want to walk on, and we have to walk on, but something inside us pulls us back. Perhaps it is the knowledge that carefree youth is just a memory of years left behind. Reflecting, we find ourselves thinking of the golden times, the black times, the dreams and aspirations we have structured into reality. It is an introspective time, as we wonder about the vast, boundless future. The friends we have made, our commonality in spirit takes on new importance as we near the end of this path ... With poise, with pride, with maturity, we progress, step by single step, toward the light and the fresh air, the opportunity just beyond the open door ... SAMUEL N. LIPSETT, M.D., P.A. 403 FARVIEW AVENUE PARAMUS, N. J. 07652 j mm I 1 1 r ' When the founders of Paramus High School opened its doors in 1958, they set the standard for generations to come. Golden rays of sunlight have guided us to strive constantly for the best and seek the greatest heights. Through many hours of work, sweat, and tears, we have aspired to perfection and have reached our goals. Our standard for excellence has been achieved. As we near the opened door we look back on our triumphant past — obstacles that we have conquered, the bonds that we have formed, and • - • ' W m y the pitfalls that have temporarily hindered our destiny. Through the clubs, organizations, and sports, we, as Spartans, have unified to stand for a common interest: success, a task that has tested our endurance as a group as well as individuals. As the ' end of our high-school years become inevitable, all that we have gained should not be destroyed but rather treasured and looked upon as the key to unlocking the door to our future. We, the Class of 1988, should now realize through the strength in our i r c gMMpBg 1 ' hearts, that we can accomplish and overcome anything that stands before us. With this knowledge, each one of us can proudly walk through V- . ,1 J ‘ XT ... :£ .jg ' • ’ the open doors ... to pathways that lead to a world waiting to be embraced! ■ f’fivr •• ; WI . ■ . . v - - -Risa Gale Finkle Editor-in-Chief 1988 8 Delphian Paramus High School E. 99 Century Road Paramus, New Jersey 07652 Volume XXIX 2 Title Page Contents 3 ■x - , — Fingers pressed to its surface, we, inch-by-inch, step-by-step, push the door open, eagerly peering beyond with barely contained excite- 4 Candids ■■■mm m ■ With us forever are the souvenirs, the mementos, the memories j Candids 5 .

I would like to take this special opportunity to offer my congratulations to a great class, the Class of 1988. I would also like to express my gratitude and reverence to the great teach¬ ers and counselors at Paramus High School. They have truly done a commendable job pre¬ paring us for our future aspirations. As graduating seniors, this is a special time for all of us. In these past years we have gained valuable knowledge and we have also grown and matured into adults. I am positive that we have all had great memories here at Paramus. These memories are valuable to us, because they will not be forgotten. The good times we have had in this graduating year will stay with us forever. We have now successfully finished one of the important stages of our lives, and we are now ready to enter the future — our country, our world. We should be thankful to live in a coun¬ try that gives us the opportunity to build a future of limitless success. God bless America, and on that note, God bless all of you. I ' will Don Chami, President in the future we might meet again, so until then, Best of Luck to everyone. Thank you for the incredible memories!

Service, character, leadership, and scholarship are four traits which distin¬ guish the Paramus High School mem¬ bers of the George W. Hodgins Chapter of the National Honor Society. Mem¬ bers of this organization also need rec¬ ommendations from teachers in order to gain admission. Led by advisers Mrs. Diana Walla and Ms. Patricia Bolger, the Honor Society provides service to the school by offer¬ ing an extensive tutoring service, a pro¬ cess by which an honor society mem¬ ber aids students in subjects of need. In this way, the organization is a valuable school resource and adds another di¬ mension to the education of students.

These activities include writing an essay, giving a speech, and taking written quizzes in literature, fine arts, mathematics, and history. Top¬ ping off the day is the Super Quiz. This year’s topic is the History of Flight. Advis¬ ing the Paramus High School team is Mr. Charles Dundorf. Guest speakers such as Mr. David Miles and Mrs. Patricia DiPaolo have added to the success of our team. Academic Decathlon 79 Interact ... Lending a Hand In three years the Interact Club has grown to be the largest weekly after-school club in Paramus High School with an active membership of fifty students. It is a service organization that seeks to promote goodwill in the commu¬ nity by linking students with residents. Last year, Interact sponsored many activities that allowed members to work with a diverse group of local residents. One such project was a Car Wash that raised money to buy athletic equipment for the Benjamin Barbarosh Home, which is a living center for mentally retarded young adults. Then, in order to use this equipment, Interact sponsored a picnic in their honor at Paramus Pool. Also, Interact raised money for the Paramus Volunteer Ambulance Corps by having a bagel drive and co¬ sponsored the annual Rotary-lnteract Pancake Breakfast in order to raise money for Rotary Scholarships for Paramus High School students. Members of the club went to Rotary- sponsored events designed to give insight to themselves and to others. These programs include the Rotary Youth Leadership Award, held at Stevens Technical Institute in Hoboken and The World Affairs Seminar held at the Univer¬ sity of Wisconsin. This year Interact has taken on a very ambitious project, named Extend-a-Hand. This program is a long-term project that links members of Interact with senior citizens in need of help around the house or just to talk with someone. Our Interact Club then sponsored a mid-holiday dinner in December to which members brought their own dishes and all those involved had a great time. More ambitious projects will be undertaken as the year develops, under the leadership of Interacts president Adam Sherer, its officers and advisers Mrs. Virginia Lindner and Mr. Joseph Tuzzolo.

Advised by Mrs. Rita Kostopoulos and assisted by the help of the Rotary Ser¬ vice, students from various countries are brought together through an exchange program. Two students, Susanne Oster- gaard from Denmark and Sophie Dawance from Belgium, spent the school year in Paramus. These young people learned the cultures, customs, differ¬ ences, and similarities of various soci¬ eties. Each year the main event is Interna¬ tional Day in which Rotary students from all of Bergen County visit Paramus High School, attend classes, give a presenta¬ tion of their country, and partake in a dinner party in the evening International Officers Heather Garey, Secretary, Adam Sherer, President, Risa Fin¬ kle, Vice-President.

Each year, the Music Department at Paramus High School visits another high school to show off their musical talent. Last year’s trip was to Spotsylvania, Va. This trip took the students to such area attractions as Williamsburg, where they learned about early Colonial America, and King’s Dominion where the students were “let loose’’ to roam about the Amusement Park. Our theme was “Friends through Music.” In May, the students of Spotsylvania’s Music department came to Paramus where they visited such sites as the Statue of Liberty and the South Street Seaport. Both parts of the exchange trip were capped off with the glorious sounds of the combination of Paramus’ and Spotsylvania’s Music Department. Music Exchange Trip 91 -i— Majorettes ...

Miss Sarah Brown, played by Danielle Onorato, is in charge of the Salvation Army Mission near Times Square and she holds street-corner meetings in the same vicinity where Nathan Detroit (depicted by Don Chami) and his cronies hang out. Gene DeMaio, Steve Feldman, Dan Zettler, David Anders, and Leslie Zettler brought life to the characters of Nicely-Nicely Johnson, Benny Southstreet, Rusty Charlie, Harry the Horse, and Angie the Ox, respec¬ tively. Nathan is the operator of a floating crap game that at the moment is temporarily homeless because police officer Brannigan (Dominick Vene) is waging a campaign on crap games in this neighborhood. Miss Adelaide, portrayed by Alyssa Rosen, is a singer at the Hot Box who is tired of her fourteen-year engagement to Nathan and wants him to re¬ form and marry her. If Nathan can raise $1,000, he can get a place to hold his game. He hits upon an idea. Sky Master- son (Ken Altobello) is passing through town on his way to Havana and Nathan knows Sky will bet on almost anything. Nathan tricks Sky into a bet whereby Nathan says that he can name a “doll ' ’ that will not go to Havana with Sky. Sky is sure of himself not only in gambling but particularly with women and takes the bet. Nathan names Miss Sarah! Sky discovers that Miss Sarah’s Mission is going to be closed because the Mission attracts no sinners. He cleverly promises her his marker for twelve genuine sinners for a special prayer meeting, if she will have dinner with him. General Cartwright (Jackie Clifton) is coming to this special meeting and will rescind the order to close the Mission if they have a sizable turnout. To save the Mission, Miss Sarah agrees to have dinner with Sky, not realizing the dinner will be in Havana. I told the doctor I thought I was getting sick on account of my wearing very little clothing; which is what I usually wear.

General Cartwright (Jackie Clifton) encourages the gamblers to speak at the prayer meeting. “You’re a scoutmaster? Well, don ' t ever help my mother across the street!” Lt. Branni- gan (Dominick Vene) speaks with Big Jule (Dave Schmidt). “Marriage isn’t something you jump into like it was a kettle of fish!” Guys ’n Dolls! “THE CAST Meanwhile, the crapshooters are assembling and are impatient for the game, but Nathan cannot take them to the Biltmore Garage until he collects the $1,000 from Sky. Tension mounts when Branni- gan shows up and immediately suspects why they are gathered. Miss Adelaide ' s fortuitous arrival gives Benny an idea. He says they have come there to give Nathan a bachelor dinner. Miss Adelaide suggests that they elope right after her new show opens the follow¬ ing night. Though obviously not happy about it, Nathan agrees. Sky and Miss Sarah have since arrived in Havana. She asks for a milkshake, and he orders a milkshake with ‘‘Bacardi flavoring . She quickly becomes tipsy, admits she is in love with Sky, and kisses him. Sky refuses to take advantage of Sarah’s condition, and they return to New York on the late plane. They arrive at the Mission just as the Mission Band is returning from an all-night crusade against the Devil. Suddenly, police sirens are heard and the escaping crap¬ shooters flee from the Mission. Brannigan accuses them of being in on the plan to use the Mission as the location for Nathan’s game, and Miss Sarah, thinking Sky is in league with Nathan, walks out on him. Sky, nevertheless, still intends to redeem his marker. He goes to the Hot Box, seeking Nathan. Nicely-Nicely is there. He tells Sky he will take him to where the game is in progress as soon as he delivers a message to Miss Adelaide that Nathan can not elope with her as planned. Nicely-Nicely and Sky go underground to a spot in the city sewer where the game is in progress. Sky tries to tell the crapshooters about the Mission, but no one shows the slightest interest in going. Sky chivalrously tells Nathan he did not take Miss Sarah to Havana and pays Nathan the $1,000. As he is leaving, Sky gets an idea. He returns to the game and offers to bet on one roll — $1,000 cash against every soul in the sewer. If he wins, all have to show up at the Mission at midnight. Several minutes past midnight, just as Miss Sarah is about to give up, the crapshooters begin to appear. Sky forces them in and departs for places unknown, leaving Nathan in charge. General Cartwright’s delighted with the turnout and asks the sinners to testify. Nathan confesses he is sorry for betting a certain “guy that he could take a certain “doll” to Cuba, even though he won the bet. Miss Sarah is deeply touched by Sky’s noble character and leaves the meeting. Outside the Mission she meets Miss Adelaide who is looking for Nathan. To themselves, they admit, for better or worse, they have both “got it bad”. As Miss Adelaide goes into the Mission after Nathan, Miss Sarah starts a search for Sky. Their efforts are successful and the ever-patient Miss Adelaide marries Nathan, while Miss Sarah weds Sky. Directed by Ann Charl¬ ton and Joseph Zarro, the actors carried out their parts beautifully. Complementing the action was the fine performance by the orches¬ tra, conducted by Ron Kalman. Thanks to excellent behind-the- scenes work by the crews types, headed by Mr. Provost and Mr. Natiello, Guys and Dolls was a magical experience for all. “Hey, you put me down this in¬ stant .OR ELSE!!!” Hey Sky, how about a piece of streudel or cheesecake or something?” “The Pits” “Don’t tell me . . Nobody cries like that over an old guy!” Guys and Dolls 97 P.H.S. Presents .. On Friday and Saturday evenings, December 4th and 5th, 1987, Paramus High School presented the popular play, “The Teahouse of the August Moon. Set in the town of Tobiki on the island of Okinawa, the play revolves around a U.S. officer ' s efforts to make the town prosper after WW II. Captain Fisby, the army officer, was enthusiastically portrayed by Gene De Maio. Another of the central characters was Lotus Blossom, played by Doris Chou. In the play, these two characters fell in love, but the couple encountered a great deal of prejudice when Capt. Fisby desired to take Lotus Blossom back to the States with him. Involving a conflict of intolerance when the East met the West, was the principal theme. It also demonstrated the importance of being aware of these prejudices in one’s own country due to lack of understanding. Other characters that appeared in the play were Sakini, Sergeant Gregovich, Mr. Oshira, Captain Maclean, Colonel Purdy Wainwright III, and Mr. Mokaida. These were portrayed by Sung Park, Karen Pedersen, Doris Chou, Gregory Gordon, Don Chami, and Yen Chen, respectively. This performance was directed by Mr. Harry Geisler, with Rowena Rotolo as the student director. Mrs. Sharon Laurence was in charge of publicity and the beautiful scenery was constructed under the superb direction of Mr. Dennis Provost. “The Teahouse of the August Moon” was a Broadway show that appeared in the 1950’s. As a major hit, it was considered one of the finest Broadway shows. Mr. Geisler made a comment concerning the theme. “Perhaps America has come of age! ... Would that Capt. Fisby were facing that decision, today! He could and would proudly return to the U.S. with Lotus Blossom on his arm, and would be warmly welcomed into the heart of our towns and cities. Paramus, as a microcosm of our society, demonstrates just how fully that acceptance would be. Congratulations, Paramus!

Memorable Moment Makers Highlight of every student’s senior year is the Prom. Traditionally, Paramus High School Senior Proms are planned in an extravagant and elaborate manner. This year’s Prom, held at the Palisadium in Cliffside Park, continued the tradition. Under the skillful supervision of Mrs. Connie Plucinsky and chairperson, Melissa Popkin, the Prom Committee planned a festive occasion which provided graduat¬ ing students with special memories. Helping to bring down the high cost of Prom bids were the many fund-raising programs but the biggest was the raf¬ fling off of the 1988 Pontiac Grand Am automobile, retail value of $10,944.00, on Saturday, January 30, 1988. Both a D.J. and a band were hired to supply the students with lively entertainment. Dian Studios, of¬ ficial photographers to the Yearbook, were selected to photograph the young couples and to supply them with lasting memories of the big night. Thanks to the excellent achievement of the committee, the Prom, held on June 2, 1988, was a special night which brought our successful four years to a fitting close.

Six years ago, a student exchange program was created between Paramus and Frankfurt am Main, West Germany. Students from the Freiherr-vom-Stein Schule resided in the homes of our students for three or four weeks in March April, along with their teachers, Herr Franzl and Herr Kohler. During the summer, the American host students returned the visit to the German students’ homes. Herr Ernst Unger was present on the trip to guide us through the enchanted homeland of Beethoven, Goethe, and saurbraten. During August of 1987, twelve students from Paramus High School lived in the homes of German students in and around Frankfurt. Besides our nearly three-week stay in that city where we attended classes, we took a five-day side trip to West Berlin. We also went behind the Wall and briefly viewed the eastern part of the city. In addition, we visited the romantic scenery of the Rhine, including an interesting trip to the Falconery. On our own, we visited other towns and cities in the country, all possessing picturesque quali¬ ties. During our stay, we improved our language skills, ex¬ panded our knowledge on the German lifestyle, and we were launched headlong into a month of merriment and festivi¬ ties.

This twenty-ninth edition of the Delphi¬ an is by far the culmination of excellence in Paramus High School, the key to this landmark door through which the Class of 1988 will pass. Supervised by Mr. Robert Boyce, “Teacher of the Year , the Delphi¬ an staff constitutes a solid framework, uni¬ fied by its editors and especially by the Editor-in-Chief, Risa Finkle. Steadily and thoroughly, the process of building this memorable yearbook has continued, mak¬ ing the Delphian the true eyes and ears of this school year. Steps of creating the Delphian began in May of 1987, when senior pictures of the Class of 1988 were taken by Rita of Dian Studios. Following this was determination of the yearbook’s theme, the symbolic and appropriate idea of the open door. In many ways, the Delphian ' s construction has been a series of doors itself, a series of decisions and enhancements. One could say that the process much resembles the four-year growth and maturation of the senior class. Among the technical aspects of this ar¬ chitecture were decisions regarding the Delphian ' s dedication, its fundraising, po¬ tential additions to the book’s content, and inclusion of notable events of the past year. Regarding fundraising, the staff has spent this year selling mums at Thanksgiv¬ ing, and advertisements in the book from numerous companies, stores, organiza¬ tions, and Paramus residents including students’ families. Enthusiasm has been demonstrated by the senior class itself, as nearly one hundred percent bought the Delphian Few, though, can appreciate the action behind the door, the invested effort by the yearbook staff ... late meetings ... countless candids ... outstanding art ... endless energy! Innovation is an operative factor in this twenty-ninth edition of the Delphian.Vnere would be no construction, however, with¬ out tools ... the events and the honors of the 1987-1988 school year. This Delphian has been built upon the foundation of changing people and changing times. Among the several additions and rennova- tions, defining various P.H.S. depart¬ ments, honoring excellence among the Class of 1988, and a summary of current events, invariably make the book not only a shiny key to the present time, but also a precious key to the past, as its owners will one day see. “Open doors may represent many ideas, but the meaning most favored by this year’s Delphian staff has been the “open mind. Symbolic of an open door is the passageway to something “beyond, as is an open mind. This senior year has passed, a landmark year for many, and it has been captured in the pages of the Del¬ phian. Thanks to the dedication of its staff, the lives and times of those here at P.H.S., this year may be remembered always. In hoping that the seniors of 1988 use their acquired knowledge to cross the thresh¬ old to prosperous futures, the Delphian staff devoted this book to the rite of pas¬ sage. This edition, the twenty-ninth, is a Classic! 122 Delphian Delphian Editors Editor-in-Chief . . Risa Finkle Typing . . Heather Garey Associate Editor . . Danielle Onorato Melissa Chin Layout . .

After losing several close games early in the season, our Spartan Varsity Football Team never lost hope and won two of their last four games. This team’s two and seven record does not truly portray their ability. Led by Co-Captains Ste¬ ven Abbattista and Rich Siero, the Spartans fought valiantly as a group 3 team in a group 4 league. This caused our team to be out-manned rather than outplayed by such perennial powers as St. Joseph ' s, Bergen Catholic, Passaic, and Joe Donofrio Tough Tacklers Jason Gaer Steve Abbattista Co-Captain Joe Cardieflo Matt Gaer Tony Dolegowski MVP with 92 tackles, and Jason Gaer, also voted Second Team All League with 90 tackles. Hard hitting ' defensive backs were Rick Siero (70 tackles, 6 interceptions), Lou Zaccaro (45 tackles), Jeff Grabow (39 tackles) and juniors Brian Hay, Alex Castino, and Tim Gaffney. Our defensive line was led by senior Joe Donofrio (36 tackles) and juniors David Meyer, Chris Santoro, and Glen Colameo. This team’s offense was powered by the passing attack of quarterback Matt Gaer, who was voted Honorable Mention All League and our teams offensive MVP because he com¬ pleted 91 out of 201 passes for 1214 yards and 7 touch¬ downs. Matt’s main receivers were Rich Siero, and Bill Pie- trunti, both of whom received First Team Ail League status. Bill had 28 receptions for 476 yards and 4 touchdowns and Rich had 23 receptions for 320 yards and 1 touchdown. Our running attack was led by junior Rich Conte (85 carries, 355 yards) and senior Lou Zaccaro (53 carries, 204 yards, 2 touchdowns). This tandem ran behind the blocking of an ever changing offensive line. Seniors Joe Donofrio, Anthony LaBarbiera, Lloyd Rippe, and Steven Abbattista were main¬ stays in this line, but Tony Dolegowski, Tom Kelly, Chris Santoro, and Dave Meyer also saw much playing time in the trenches. Next year, the Spartans are looking forward to a success¬ ful season with returning lettermen in many key positions. Rich Conte, Brian Hay, Glen Colameo, David Meyer, Chris iantoro, Mike Hubner, Alex Castino and Jai Sue are the ain men in Coach Darragh’s hopes for next year. He ' s a little run-away.

Led by tri-cap¬ tains Rod Chin, Peter Huang, and Dave Pineault the team started the season slowly before finishing with a strong second half. Returning lettermen were Seniors Rod Chin, Peter Huang, Dave Pineault, and Junior Glenn Carlough. Senior Steve Park was the team manager. Our offense was led by mid-fielder Dave Pineault (9 goals, 1 assist), who made his presence felt all over the field, and Peter Huang (1 goal, 9 assists), who constantly ran circles around opposing defenders. Our defense was solidified by sweeper Rod Chin. For the first time in team history, the Boys Soccer team defeated Hackensack twice in the same season. Our team always fought with courage and determination. We man¬ aged to tie powerhouses St. Joseph’s, Bergen Catholic, and Ridgewood. Dave Pineault received a 1st team All League selection in the N.N.J.I.L. Peter Huang and goalie Glenn Carlough re¬ ceived 2nd team All League, while Rod Chin received Honor¬ able Mention.

Having been termed many names: unfortunate, unique, disastrous, and even unathletic, the eight members of the 1987 Paramus Varsity Tennis Team who toiled on the courts for eight weeks summed up the season in one word — valuable. Our team gained an unlimited amount of experience and demonstrat¬ ed great spirit on the court. In the beginning of the season, the team had problems finding a coach, but once Mr. Joe Cervino volunteered, they were on their way. Our Varsity singles consisted of Co-Captain senior Felice Fishman, as first singles: sophomore Nina Setia, as second singles; and Co-Captain senior Lisa Edelstein as third singles. Our doubles team were seniors Rody Rotolo and Elisa Miller as first doubles and sophomores Roxannne Foster and Lori Cohen as second doubles. Seniors Alyson Mettler and Mary Philip were always present to help the team whenever needed. Karen Liebowitz, as manager, also helped to keep the team ' s records organized and accurate. Although the team’s over-all record was not one of the best, they still won a few matches and tried very hard at the rest.

Amy Kempf and Hiral Patel led the girls team as Co-Captains to the Group 3 County Champion¬ ship. Amy had a phenomenal season receiving numerous first place championship titles and also the Record’s Athlete of the Week. Other senior runners included Lori Seidel and Jen Goldberg who were also great assets to the team. Another strong runner was Freshman Vicki Foy who fin¬ ished her season with the Freshman County Title and has outstanding prospects for future years.

Matt Kingsley set the record for “all-time scores with an amazing 29 points in the game against Riv¬ er Dell. This power house team, with additional help from seniors Darrin Shamosh and Bill Joyce, defeated Teaneck, who was last year’s champions. They ended the season with a record of 12 wins and 13 losses.

This year Coach Joe Cer¬ vino led an experienced Spartan wrestling team to their fourth consecutive league championship and a berth in the state playoffs. Our team consisted of ten seniors at the year ' s start, but injuries plagued the team causing several wres¬ tlers to miss a few matches and the loss of Jason Gaer after only four matches wrestled. Captains Rob Mee¬ han, Mike Indorato, and Mark Collier combined for three District golds, two Re¬ gional golds, and one Re¬ gional bronze. Scott Lagsdin was the only other wrestler on the team, aside from the three captains, to earn a trip to the State Tournament in Princeton by winning a gold in the Region. The Record named two Spartan wres¬ tlers as their “Athlete of the Week.” They are Rob Mee¬ han for winning the B.C.C.A. Most Valuable Wrestler award and Lloyd Rippe for clinching the Fair Lawn match. On the whole the team had quite a successful sea¬ son, compiling a 14-2 re¬ cord. After an early season loss to Bloomfield the team pulled together to remain undefeated in the regular season. Key wins this season came against rivals St. Jo¬ seph’s, Bergen Catholic, and Fair Lawn. In order to cap¬ ture the league champion¬ ship our team had to defeat St. Joseph’s and Bergen Catholic. Our matches were close, down to the wire, not being decided until wins in the last three weightclasses. However, the match of the year was against the Fair Lawn Cutters. Going into the match, the Cutters were ranked first in the county and our Spartans were ranked third. All the match¬ es were close; we pulled a few upsets early on. Going into the heavyweight bout our Spartans led by three points. It was all on the line for the team when Lloyd Rippe stepped on the mat and he pulled through pin-1 ning his opponent in the sec¬ ond period. This match was later referred to as the “mir¬ acle in Fair Lawn and earned our team the num¬ ber one ranking in the coun¬ ty. In the team state cham¬ pionships our team took second place, beating Ber- genfield in the semi-finals and losing to powerful High Point in the finals.

This year the Paramus High School girls basketball team has endured a grueling schedule in one of the most difficult leagues of northern New Jersey. It was a rebuilding year for the Lady Spartans, under a new coach, Jim Shenkberger. Three of last season’s starters were back this year, but the team lost two of its best players. Next year’s varsity team hopes to be quite successful, with a large number of dedi¬ cated and skilled players joining the ranks. These include Therese Raleigh, Talin Hovsepian, and Kathy King. Co-Cap¬ tains Amy Sloane and Danielle Baraty kept this year ' s team spirited and disciplined, leading them to a number of victo¬ ries including the highlight of the season, a win over Elm¬ wood Park.

This dedicated group braved the elements of winter to run through the streets of Paramus in preparation for the meets ahead of them. Led by the girls captain Amy Kempf, and the boys tri-captains Mike Goldblatt, Brian Herrick, and Tony LaBarbiera, our team competed in a multitude of meets traveling to many different colleges for these contests. Amy Kempf, being among the best in the state, continued her dominance in the distance events. Other girls who performed admirably included seniors Jennifer Goldberg, Hiral Patel, and Lori Seidel. For the boys there was no standout performer; rather they were a balanced group, finishing respectably in both field and track events. Brian Herrick was injured early in the season which hurt the team greatly, but the underclassmen were able to fill in and hold their own. Next year, Coach Rodak can look forward to many accomplishments from Laura Albro and Vickee Foy, and Cid Wilson and several talented freshmen and sophomores.

With a tradition of seven consecutive winning seasons including a 1987 league championship, head coach, Joseph Cervino is in the midst of molding another powerhouse. This year’s Spartan squad with returning starters Brian Moffatt and Mike Rennar who both received first team All-League and second team All-County recognition, present a potent nucleus despite the loss of three All-County players to graduation. Brian Moffatt underwent elbow surgery prior to the season but the return of the county ' s premiere pitcher was an extremely welcome addition to the club. Last season Brian Moffatt posted a 9 and 2 record with 3 saves and a 5 to 1 strikeout-to-walk ratio. Coach Cervino moved Mike Rennar from second-base to shortstop in order to utilize his prime athlete on the field’s most demanding position. Brian Hay and Rich Conte added more varsity experience to this year ' s line up after making impressive debuts as Sophomores while substituting for injured players. Our pitching staff of Matt Gaer, Derrick Chin, and John D’Addetta the only Sophomore on this year’s team, held their ground in anticipation of their ace’s return. Remainder of the team was made up of catcher Charlie Maggio, center-fielder Paul Carlino, second-baseman, Justin Mihalik, and right fielder Lou Zaccaro.

This year is special in that it marks the first graduating class Mr. Zanella has seen through all four years of high school. Many areas have changed during the past four years in Paramus High School; dramatic improvements and success are evidence to Mr. Zanella’s wise foresight. Among his achievements, Mr. Zanella has started a revision program of the curriculum in order to maintain the quality of courses while streamlining them, a necessity due to declinging enrollment. As part of a team of teachers, he has participated in the New Jersey Academy of Teaching and Management to insure the improve¬ ment of the instructional process. Paramus High has seen a reduction in the number of houses, vice-principals ... even lunch periods, yet smoothly and effectively, due in great part to Mr. Zanella. He has become an integral, accessible part of the faculty and student body. We, the Class of 1988, salute Mr. Zanella for his successful completion of four years as Principal of Paramus High School.

Gracious Goodbye Gervase “Jim” Castner came to Paramus High School as a Biology teacher in 1964, having previously taught in East Rutherford. Since 1971 he has been the supervisor of the Science department. For many years he has also taught in summer school. Prior to attending college, Mr. Castner served in the Navy. He graduated from East Stroudsburg College in Pennsylvania. He attended Seton Hall University and Montclair, from which he received his master’s degree. Mr. Castner’s many interests include photography, weightlifting, and hiking. His classes have been enriched by his artistic ability and nature slides from his hikes. His unique sense of humor will be missed. Upon his retirement, Mr. Castner and his wife, Veroni¬ ca, plan to return to their Pennsylvania roots. Gervase Castner, Department Supervisor of Science Mr. Thomas Verga became a member of the Business depart¬ ment in the fall of 1963. He taught Typewriting and Gregg Note- hand and served on the Ways and Means Budget Com mittee. In 1971 he introduced the Data Processing Course and became an Assistant Principal. His duties included control of attendance reports, the supervision of the co-curricular program, and the preparation of the yearly calendar of events. In 1973 Mr. Verga assumed the duties of supervising the commencement exercises. In 1974 Mr. Verga became the Head of House III when the newly organized House System was instituted. In 1986 Mr. Verga be¬ came the head of House II when the system was again reorga¬ nized. He kept his position until he retired in November, 1987. We wish him well on his retirement. Thomas Verga, Vice-Principal of House II 212 Retirement A Fond Farewell! September, 1958 an important date when the doors of Paramus High School were opened to welcome its first students. Among its “pillars” was and still is Lou Lanzalotto, Coach, Teacher, Supervisor, and Friend. This year, 1988, marks the thirtieth anniversary of Paramus High School. Thus, a whole generation of students has passed through these doors and all have been influenced and enthusiastically remembered by “Lanky Lou”. What more fitting way to honor this momentous event than by showing our sincere appreciation to such a leader and colleague—Lou Lanzalotto? Graduating from Montclair State at the age of twenty, Lou began his teaching career in Union City and South Plainfield before going into the Army in 1950. After spending time in Korea he came to Paramus, first at Memorial and then the high school. He was one of the “founding fathers” of Paramus High School when he ar¬ rived thirty years ago as chairman of the Social Studies department. His outstanding record speaks for itself. In the field of sports he has demonstrated his uniqueness by coaching for fourteen consecutive years without a de¬ feat! His name is known throughout the State for his many accomplishments during these past exciting, diffi¬ cult, tumultuous, but most rewarding years of service to Paramus High School. It has been said, A teacher affects eternity.” This rings so true in Lou’s case! Lou is a loyal friend, a passionate human being, ever-ready to help in time of disaster and dilemma, a coach among coaches, a witty raconteur, a consultant for curriculum change. Still a student of histo¬ ry as well as current events, he has become intolerant of intolerance, a legend in his own time, with an almost perfect attendance record. Lou has been faithful in at¬ tending all class reunions and events over the years. Here is one individual who will be missed but definitely not forgotten! Lou is a devoted family man with a clever, fun-loving wife, Julia, and his talented children. With the most recent marriage of his son, Lou has reached the rightful stage of his life for relocation. He can never be replaced — the void will always remain. Lou is a veteran of the military and a veteran of the classroom. It is with the deepest appreciation that we, of the Delphian staff, offer this twenty-ninth edition of the Yearbook, to our friend of such long-standing, Lou Lanzalotto! Treasure this moment and your well-deserved golden years with the thought of a job well done! May the mists of your many memories never fade!

His actions and vi¬ sions have superseded every administrator I have ever worked for or known in Paramus. Lou’s ‘heart’ and ‘head’ stood way above ‘self-seeking’ and ‘short-sighted’ people in our system, His re¬ tirement will create a void I fear, that will never be filled.’’ -Jack Weaver “I could always count on Lou’s helpful ad¬ vice or criticism. He was always fair and un¬ derstanding. I saw in Lou the true educator; unselfish of his time, and generous in his concern and love for the youth of Param¬ us.’’ -Joseph Fritzinger Lou proudly displays some of his trophies in his department office.

We should make a promise . . . to never forget the past . But rather to let the past lead us through the doors ... To our future ' i. . , ?68 Danielle Jeanine Onorato Associate Editor 1988 I « s W J As the final door gapes before us, we scan our new surroundings with cautious eyes. Have we really reached the end of this corridor in our lives? Our journey seemed perpetual, everlasting. Now, in retrospect, it feels as if it has passed in only a single moment. There is no turning back. Glancing at each other, we realize that we take this final step through the doorway together. Nothing is certain then . . . we will follow different paths, cross different oceans, climb different mountains. We will seek our own individual happiness by walking in the directions each of us fancies. Is it really the end? An end is never an end, but only another beginning. This is the time when our dreams become our guides; when we push-our way beyond the great door to find the sunshine, to experience our new freedom, to build our destinies. Our open minds are the open doors we will dare to chal¬ lenge. Hearing echoing voices behind us, we realize we are the leaders. We are the ones who guide the way, not only.for those behind us, but also for the countless who will one day walk the same corridor ... our corridor. Let us step forward, then, for the sunlight and the clear blue sky are too enticing to resist ...
