Six junior high teachers spent half of their day at the high school because of the increased enrollment at PHS. Mr. Gary Maiatico, a math teacher, said, “High school students seem to be more self-disciplined. I kind of have to watch my seventh graders more closely.” ________________________________ A new field house was finished in the fall, along with a new library book protection system. Parkland students not only worked hard in school, but they also added a personal touch in the community as well. Key Club held its spaghetti dinner for the community to enjoy. Senior Janine Mendola said, “Through Key Club, I have had the chance to reach out and make a difference in people's lives. No matter what PHS students did, they did it with style, charisma, and their PERSONAL TOUCH. 6 Opening A touch of agony Unfortunately during the first half of the Trojans’ last game of the season, junior Mario Ciciliot was hurt.

What separates us from the rest of the area schools? Personality. We have lots of it and the student life shows it. All that personality creates some great memories that add a personal touch to everything. Senior Greg Osburn remembers the closeness of the wrestling team the most. He said, “The unity of all the wrestlers working together, through win or loss, really made the season memorable. Another part of the PHS personlity is the spirit. It shows in every event. At the football games, at the prom, or even in class we have fun. Spirit and fun go together. Junior Danelle Bacon explains why, To have fun, you have to have a positive outlook, and basically, having fun is spirit. It makes you feel good about school. I'm proud to show my spirit by being a cheerleader. Types of spirit vary from person to person. Some enjoy simply passing notes in study hall; others like the loud cheering at sporting events. A group of students like this always band together to form the Weenies. The Weenies, led by the basketball mascot, David Ufberg, added life to the games. They got the crowd fired-up, and helped the team play its best. PHS has style too. When things look bad, do we give up? No, we show winning personality to make things better. And it’s done with a style that is unique to Parkland. Senior Karen Roth said, style “We have a basically because we’re like one big family. We become close through different activities and everyone seems to care. That’s what makes it fun! So, no matter what your sense of fun is, you can find it at PHS because we have The Personal Touch. dancesoldcokevs.newcokespringmusicalfunnightfac There are many things which make high school enjoyable and each has a different meaning to different students. _______________ Junior Mike Sharp dancesoldcokevs.newcokespringmusicalfunnightfac Inside touches 10 Homecoming 12 Dating 14 Spirit 16 Field House 18 Fall Play 20 Rock Fashion 22 Key Leo Club 24 Dances 26 Coke 28 Spring Musical 30 Faculty Life 32 Fun Night 34 Clubs 36 Fund Raising 38 Prom 40 Cars 42 Fame 44 Graduation victory Dressed to drive Senior Mike Beitler was one of the drivers dressed up in shades and a cigar to take the court around the football field.

The other girls in the court were the best. fi Denise Prevoznik A 14-0 Homecoming JA victory brightened a ' 1 dampened spirit week. The persistent rain throughout the week cancelled the annual bonfire, but the bad weather stopped just in time for the game. Many touches were added to make this Homecoming a special one. Spirit week and Almost Anything Goes helped PHS gain school spirit. Although the bonfire had to be cancelled because of the nonstop rain all week, many students turned out for the big game. Student Council member David Ufberg commented about preparing for Homecoming. “I enjoyed working on Homecoming, it was hard but it was a good experience. I especially liked decorating before the game.” During halftime Student Coucil gave out awards to different clubs that had made posters hung at the game. First place went to the cheerleaders, second to the Leo Club, and third to the band. The court was picked two weeks before the game. They were: Gretchen Caton. Gina Conti. Cheryl Kindt. Denise Prevoznik. Christy Salvaggio, Art Frye. Paul Graff, Tim Smith. Geoff Spitko, Erik Steffy, and Chip Wasson. Senior Gretchen Caton commented about being on the court, ‘‘The winning didn’t matter; it was just a great honor to be nominated by my class.” At halftime Denise Prevoznik was crowned queen by Shelly Farrell, last year’s queen. Also at halftime, the fitness team sponsored a balloon launch. Students watched them drift into the sky hoping their balloon would go the farthest. Paul Graff became the 1985 Homecoming king at the dance after the game. Homecoming 11 Two peas in a pod Senior Judd Lily and his long time girlfriend junior Kim Dunstan share a moment alone after school. Twice as nice Seniors Amy Foster and Tony Saby are one pair of the many couples that roam the halls of PHS. They enjoy spending a lot of time together in and out of school. Just the two us While holding hands before school, juniors Matt Brosius and Cathy Sprunk wait to go back to class. m How’s your date? 12 Student Life Being with that one date He was a tall, tan surfer. We walked on the beach and went to the amusement park. Nikki Leuthe Q he: I wonder what I’ll S wear. I wonder if he’ll ever show up? Does he think I'm pretty? Will he kiss me goodnight? He: Where will I take her? What will we do? Will she like me? Should I make a pass? Going on a date can be the scariest experience of your life. Some people like seniors Anne O’Brien and Chip Wasson think that the prom was their best date. Anne said.“Last year’s prom was great because after it was over my date and I went out to a party. On an average, people said that they went out after the football games and out on Saturday nights. The curfew that most of the couples had to be in by was between eleven and one. The dates usually spent about ten to fifteen dollars every weekend. The most expensive weekend can cost up to thirty dollars.The money came mostly from parents and jobs including paper routes and waitressing. Sophomores Geoff Strohl and Eric Werley said that they spent more of their time with their friends, but some others spent more time with their girlfriends or boyfriends. But some shared the same amount of time with both. Senior Cheryl Murphy’s worst date was spent when “Finally I went out with a guy that had been asking me for a long time. Well, when we were going to the movies, he ran through a stop sign. We got stopped by a cop. who then gave my date a ticket. But to top it all off. my date’s battery in the car died. He had to call his dad and his dad picked us up in downtown Allentown. We ended up missing the movie.” Best and worst date 13 Spirit soars at Parkland Spirit week gave students a chance to dress up and act crazy without getting in trouble. � « Rich Marzen Let’s face it. Spirit holds a school together. For some, spirit is attending football games every Friday night; for others, spirit is making banners for every sport possible; and. for still others.spirit is dressing up in odd outfits during spirit week. Sitting in homeroom the morning before a football game can be very hazardous to one's health. Most students are still trying to catch some shut eye and then all of a sudden, they hear this extremely enthusiastic loud voice over the intercom. You’ve guessed it; it’s none other than the famous Trojan Mascot. The winter mascot was junior David Ufberg. He said. Being mascot is pretty awesome! I mean it really gets you involved in your school. I think it’s really exciting and I wish all the athletes a winning future.” Cheerleaders and bands members are often seen as the leaders in spirit throughout the school year But sometimes they have to pay the price for it. Standing in front of the whole student body in the cold rain cheering for your struggling team or trying to march through the mud puddles during halftime is not too much fun. Worst of all while doing all this, you realize no one is paying attention to them anyway. Junior Becky Meyers commented. “I enjoy cheerleading very much, but it’s a lot of hard work and dedication. I especially enjoyed cheering at the football games this year.” Also commenting on spirit was senior Scott Burkhardt. The cheering fans during basketball season really helped to encourage the team to try a litte bit harder.” , 14 Student Life Bound by Chains Sophomores Jason London and Suzi Salvaggio compete in the obstacle course in Almost Anything Goes This event started Spirit Week Bearing it all Many students dressed in outrageous costumes during spirit week Senior Nancy Kistler was in one of the more unusual outfits, a bear costume. Raising the spirit Junior Becky Myers did her best to cheer on the Trojans on their way to a Homecoming victory. Becky was one of the cheerleaders who helped to generate school spirit. Crazy about Parkland Some excited Trojan fans stand by the field to help cheer their team on. The cold weather did not harm students' spirit.

After completion in September, at an approximate cost of $500,000, the field house was ready for the ’86 school year. Facilities in the field house include a wrestling room, two locker rooms, showers, a trainer’s room and a weight room. Junior Randy Klingaman said, “I think it’s great that the wrestling room is larger because it gives us more room to practice and work out. The old room just wasn’t big enough.” The weight room in the field house was open every day until New home for teams Before, we were in that tiny weight room and the lockers weren't much larger. We have lots of room now. w Jeff Miller 4:30. Anyone wishing to pump iron was welcome. Many more machines as well as more weights were added to complete the room. Sophomore JV football player Jeff Hale said, ‘‘The facilities are more modern. I think it’s really awesome!” During the fall, the field house housed the varsity and JV football teams. In the winter, the wrestling squad occupied the new locker room, and in the spring both track teams were situated in the facility. I’m really happy that there are new wrestling and weight rooms. I think it will help our program tremendously.” said sophomore wrestler Andy Yankanich. Since the football teams vacated their old locker room, the soccer and crosscountry teams moved into the empty room. The girls teams were given the old wrestling room as soon as it was renovated. While designing the field house, the architects considered input from Superintendent Carmen Riola, Mr. Dale Zimmerman, as well as the coaches . Mr. Zimmerman, the athletic director, said,‘‘The building is very adequate.” 16 Student Life Trying for just one more After school, sophomore Tony Nicotera works out in the field house.

This radio broadcast surrounds the murder scene of Mrs. Boyle (Laurie Katz) in Monkswell Manor Guest House. A scene from the movie ‘‘Clue ? Hardly. This excerpt comes from the PHS Drama Club’s own production of The Mousetrap, a three act Agatha Christy murder mystery. The Drama Club staged its fall production November 22 and 23 at the high school. The play was under the direction of Mrs. Nancy Carthew and student director Elizabeth Sarachek. The play starred Rob Adams. Carol Durner, Seth Grossman. Laurie Katz, Amy Nigro. Rich Sautter, John Vincent and Andrew Zeitlin. The plot centers around the house of Mr and Mrs. Ralston (Durner and Vincent) and highlights the visits of the sundry quests on a snowy night in England. The visitors include the masculine Miss Casewell (Nigro), helter-skelter Christopher Wren (Adams), an Italian Mr. Paravacini (Zeitlin), and the militant Major Metcalf (Sautter). The first act concludes with the strangulation of Mrs. Boyle. Sergeant Trotter (Grossman), enters the play near the end of the first act in a forged attempt to solve the mystery. As with many of Christie’s pieces, the play employs a familiar nursery rhyme as a recurring motif -“Three Blind Mice. Sophomore Laurie Katz commented, I really enjoyed this production. Fall Play 19 Music influences fashion Fashion trends are set by idolized musicians, such as Madonna's lace, and Sting's baggy clothes. ” Woleila Hailye usic and fashion go P'1 hand in hand. Music’s 1 influence on fashion in the last decade has been overwhelming. The best dressed stars of 1985-86 were Sade, John Taylor of Duran Duran. Sting, and Diana Ross according to some Parkland students. The worst dressed, they said, were Madonna, Twisted Sister, and Bruce Springsteen. Music has opened people’s eyes to new wave and reggae music. Depeche Mode and The Alarm are two new wave bands that wear oversized clothing. Some raggae groups include Bob Marley. and UB40. They wear their hair in dreadlocks. Fashion has gone through all sorts of changes. This past year high fashion included broaches, paisley. Reebok sneakers, charm bracelets, Swatch watches, and stirrup pants. Sade’s fashions are one of today’s best examples of style. Junior Stacy Wescoe stated, Sade is seductive, not to mention beautiful. She definitely has her own style. She is a woman of the 80’s. Her look is outrageous. Sade might lead a whole fashion trend like Madonna did. Madonna introduced us to armloads of gummies and colored, flourescent clothes, and just wearing lingerie for fun. For next year’s fashion trends people are predicting the 60's will make a comeback. That means platform shoes, poodle skirts, and cardigan sweaters with letters on them. Maybe bell bottoms will be back. Who knows which music star will lead that scene. Fashion seems to be going in full circle. But going backward in fashion is really not possible. With every step backward, the designers take two steps forward. 20 Student Life Music and fashion £ % Making your own clothes Sophomore Addy Durant shows off her wide variety of shirts that she designed Here she displays her favorite Learning to save a life Students at Parkland area mostly wearing what's something comfortable These students are watching a film about lifesaving An arrow!

The Key Club participated in many activities this year. ow many times have you heard in the hall, “Want to buy a candy bar?” Many of us simply answer yes or no. but did you ever think to ask. “What are you selling them for?” Clubs seem to be fund raising all year, but at the same time, they’re often busy with other activities. On October 24. Key Club held its annual spaghetti dinner in the cafeteria of PHS. This function provided money for the Children's Heart Program at Geisingers Hospital. The dinner raised over $1100 in proceeds. The $2.75 dinner included spaghetti, rolls, beverage. Clubs raise dollars Key Club is an exciting part of high school. I’ve made great friends while participating in it. ” Nancy Cullen and dessert. It was held on the same evening as the Drama Club presentation. “The Mouse Trap.” so the community could dine before being entertained. Key Club provided a community service at the Phoebe Elderly Home. Chairperson, junior Laura Goetz said, “It’s really nice to help out with the elderly people and you know it’s all worth it when you see a big smile on their face after they’ve won a bingo prize. Later in the year both Key and Leo clubs participated in the Special Olympics at Jack Frost ski area. The club members aided in caring for the ski participants. On the weekend of May 1 file. Leo Club held its convention close to home, at Muhlenberg College in Allentown. Although it was close, the members still found it easy to have a fabulous time.

That’s what a typical dance is all about. All the good times take place in the cafeteria Friday nights, after the home football and basketball games. Every dance was sponsored by a different organization, such as the Key or Leo Club. The money helps to pay for the prom, for senior citizens gatherings and other charitable causes. It can also add funds to the organization’s treasury. Many students didn’t mind paying the two dollar admission because they really had a great time. Sophomore Tonya Krick said. ‘‘I would rather be at the dances then sitting at home on a Friday night.” After dancing to the great beat of Duran Duran and the Thompson Twins, many students took a break to sit down and have a cold drink. Taking a break also gave the students a chance to chat and make an impression on that certain someone. --------------------------------- Senior Vickie Kuhns said that, “One way that they could improve the dances would be if they would have some live, local band instead of records all the time. Many people said that the dances were a great opportunity to meet different people. Junior Denise Flick said, It is a great chance to see our friends that we don’t see all day in school and to spend some time with them.” When you want to have a great time with all your friends on a Friday night, the Parkland High School dances are a great place to go. Dances 25 m far The taste of Coke Coke clothing hits big “ 1 would much rather drink Coke then Pepsi because Pepsi is too sweet and it 7 v always tastes flat and it loses its flavor.” T f Brett Lewis ill the real coke please stand up? Just last year, deciding what cola to drink wasn’t a big thing—until they came out with different flavors. Suddenly, we were faced with tough decisions—which Coke did we want? New Coke? Or the stuff everyone used to drink—it’s now called “Classic Coke. Classic Coke is really the old Coke that was replaced by the New Coke but was brought back because we still like the old Coke and are willing to pay more for it. Then you have Diet Coke. You can also get Diet Coke with caffeine, but either way it is sugar free Senior Maryann Bickel said that“new coke stinks and it leaves an aftertaste on your teeth. But junior Brett Lewis dosn’t care for either version. “Both the old Coke and the New Coke taste like Pepsi.” he said. Not only did Coke come out with different flavors of cola, but the company also came out with Coca Cola clothing—sweatshirts and sweatpants in many different colors and styles. Senior Sheila Gerloff said the Coke clothing is not worth spending money on and different variety of designer clothing. “Coke clothing is just another one of their gimmicks . and I wouldn’t be caught dead wearing it. much less drinking it! Sophomore Chris Johnson said.“When I’m up late watching a movie I usually have a 2-liter bottle of Classic Coke along with other snacks.” Sophomore Leone Brown expressed her feelings when she said. “I would much rather drink Sprite. Seven-Up or Canada Dry because there is much less carbonated water than there is in Coke or Pepsi. So when you are out looking for which soda to drink, the easiest thing to do is grab a Coke. 26 Student Life Pepsi makes a stand Talking to a friend Taking a break Junior Michelle Reiss sets a new standard by wearing a Pepsi sweatshirt lt‘s in Italian too.

The lighting and the volume of the play was excellent. ” Shawn Weigel Tryouts. They’re tough, but thirty students tried out for major parts in this year's spring musical “Oklahoma.” During the four hours of tryouts, about thirty students sightread scripts and songs. The directors took notes on their acting and singing ability, and lists for callbacks were posted. The next day, about twelve students returned to sing and read again. Decisions were made and the leads were picked. The leads included Sally Helfrich as Aunt Filler. Jeff Sommer as Curly. Tim Smith as Judd. Joy Andrews as Laurey. Stefanie Krannebitter as Ado Annie, and Seth Grossman as Ali Hakim. Mrs. Pat Rader directed the play along with student director Liz Sarachek. Liz commemted on the production. “It was extremely rewarding to see students from so many groups learn to work with each other. After tryouts, rehearsals lasted for approximately two months. Every night from 6-9 p.m., the auditorium was filled with songs from the Midwest. The leads developed Midwestern accents, while the cowboys and dancers learned how to tap dance. Even though track got in the way once in a while, everyone worked together and the show was quite a success! Sophomore Shawn Weigel commented on the performance. “I liked the wide assortment of cast members and the scenery was well constructed. The play as a whole had many memorable parts such as the smokehouse scene. Furthermore, the lighting and the volume of the play was very appropriate.” Director Mrs. Patricia Rader said, “The cast worked well and all the performances went smoothly.

These rooms seem a mysterious place of escape for teachers. Some teachers enter between classes to regroup themselves or to simply calm their nerves. Others go to get a bite to eat or something to drink. Still others go to relieve their tension, sometimes by smoking. Many students wonder what's being said in the room. Did the teachers talk about their good students, their obnoxious ones, or about each other? An anonymous student said, “I would give anything to know what the teachers gossip about in the faculty room. I’ve even thought about placing a bug in there to find out because I'm sure some pretty amusing conversations go on. Another thing is, the teachers act like it’s something sacred. Just walk in without knocking and be prepared to get your head bitten off!” Many students felt that they should also have a place to get away from it all, places where they could relax, talk, and even smoke. If the teachers are allowed to smoke in the faculty room, they argue, students should have a place to smoke too. ----------------------------—. The smoking controversy also caused much heat in other schools throughout the Lehigh Valley this year. Allen High banned smoking for everyone, including teachers. Ironically some teachers also wish others didn’t smoke in the faculty rooms because of the danger to one’s health. Principal Robert Mauro said. “In my opinion teachers walk into this building as employees with certain rights accompanying them, one of these being smoking. If the building had the space. I would certainly provide a lounge for non-smoking teachers. Hopefully in the future, the school could provide a health program.” ____________________________ y 30 Student Life Behind closed doors Hallway traffic Sophomore Krissy Daniels.

This was the scene at Parkland High March 8. Attending Fun Night were more than 1500 people, most of them children. This was because the theme of the evening was “Land of Fairy Tales. The event was sponsored by Student Council and president Beth Seng commented. “We picked ‘Fairy Tales’ as the theme for Fun Night because it gave the clubs a wide variety of themes to choose from, plus it would be attractive to the younger ages.” Although the fun only lasted from 4-11, many of the preparations began months in advance. Student Council chose the theme, advertised, and signed-up participating clubs for their booths. The rush really started on Saturday morning though, when club members reported early to paint posters and set up their stands. New this year was the Moonwalk. sponsored by the Latin Club, which let youngsters “defy gravity. It was a huge success with the younger children. The wait to get in was always about ten minutes. Junior Simone Makoul. who spent her entire Saturday at the high school commented. “I was so tired by the end of the day I thought I'd collapse, but I was excited to hear that the ‘Three Little Pigs’ booth I worked at won second prize.” Some of the more popular stands were the Senior class’ basketball stand, the yearbook’s soda toss, and the face painting booth sponsored by the Sophomore Class.

In the final match of the year, Parkland came out victorious over Easton. In the league championships. Easton took revenge for their loss, but Parkland came in second place. Senior Andy Zeitlin stated. I was greatly crushed by the experience, and I feel we didn't work up to our potential.” Many other clubs had good years. Clubs are an excellent way to meet people as well as raise money for various causes. The money that is raised is used in many different ways, such as old age benefits and and the prom. Student Council sponsors many activities for students to participate in. For example, secret pals, which is a favorite among teachers, computer match and student of the month. Senior Liza Smith said. “I think Student Council is a very good organization and I am Proud to be a part of it.” The Drama Club put on two different shows this year. One was Mouse Trap and the other was Raggedy Ann and Andy, Junior Diane Bechtel said. Without clubs school would be the same thing everyday and with clubs you can at least think about something other than school.” Joining a club means responsibility and much hard work. Most students do the best they possibly can in whatever their club is involved.

Raking in the profits 36 Student Life All in a day’s work “Fund raisers are an important V part of Leo Club. Without them, _ we wouldn’t be able to function.” Shawn Liberty ould you like to buy a candy bar? a pizza, or a hoagie? Not hungry, you say. Well how about an event calendar, a carnation, or some jewlery? All of these things could have been purchased between classes or at lunch this past year. Some clubs’ fund raisers did exceptionally well. The National Honor Society sold more than $2,000 worth of candy bars. This figure was so much greater than what was expected, a fund raiser for next year is unnecessary. Other clubs and organizations that had fund raisers were the Key and Leo Clubs, the band and chorus. the German Club, and Student Council. Shawn Liberty, senior, president of the Leo Club said. We take most of the money we make from fund raisers and put it in our treasury. Then, when we need it for a large fund raising event, we have enough money to sponsor it. This year the Leo Club saponsored a rock concert to donate money to the Cancer Society. Student Council’s biggest fund raising event is Fun Night. Mrs. Karen Biddle, adviser for Student Council, said. Besides Fun Night we also do a computer match and sell carnations. Money from Fun Night went to such events as Homecoming, and Senior Citizens Dinner. Many other clubs participated in Fun Night on March 8. Numerous groups and organizations made profits on booths or food stands. Many clubs count on the money made from Fun Night for increasing their budget for the following year. Every year the entire sophomore class paticipates in a major fund raising event. The whole class gets involved in this happening.

The whole night was unforgetable ” Alicia Shear Undoubtedly the most frightening but fun-filled night of this school year has got to be May 10. This is the night where girls spend hours getting ready, while their dates are still running around picking up last minute needs. If you haven’t already guessed — It’s prom night! The banquet hall at George Washington Motor Lodge was filled with a variety of colors, not to mention the biggest attendance ever. Most of the girls wore the usual pastel colors for spring, while many others surprisingly choose black. Some girls even wore metallic gold and silver. Many of the prom-goers decided to make the evening a bit more exciting and dance to the hot tunes of Bam Bamm. Although the band played a number of top 40 hits, they did give prom couples a chance to cuddle up during slow songs. The theme for the prom was “Tonight it's You.” The Junior class provided a lighted-city platform to go along with the theme. The junior class began preparation for the big night months in advance. Before winter vacation, volunteers from the Junior class set up committees. These committees worked hard all year, not to mention the hours they put in the morning of the prom. Junior Keirsten Rodgers also had an unforgettable night by being crowned prom queen that evening. She was escorted by Joe Wach. Members of the court were Jenni Weber. Alicia Shear. Kim Paganetti. Missy Krisanda, and Stephanie Krannebitter. Their escorts were Matt Detwiler, Scott Higgins, Pete Engler, Todd Silvius, and Eric Kutteroff. Student Life 39 Let s go cruising 111 hen someone says.“I’ve Al got an awesome car, one might think of a Porsche, Lambourghini. Rolls Royce, or a Mercedes. But actually the person may be talking about something less expensive. The parents of many Parkland students buy a car. A lot of students have economy cars but would love to have sports cars. Students were asked if they are careful drivers or if they take chances. Sophomore Geoff Legg said, “I’m a careful driver because if I get in an accident, I know my insurance would go up and my parents would never let me drive again. Another Lower Lot Needs Room I’m a careful driver because I know if I get in an accident my insurance would go up. ” Geoff Legg sophomore, Dave Gloss, also said. I'm a careful driver, but I take chances when I know won’t get caught.” Parking tickets, going behind slow people, and horrible weather are the downs of driving. The ups can be going wherever, whenever you want and so most students can hardly wait until they turn sixteen. Missy Mennen said. “I was counting the days till I turned sixteen, and when the day finally came, I had a great time.” Lately, the wearing of seatbelts, and drunken driving have become two important issues. Millions of people have lost lives in drunken driving and other related accidents. The law states that if a person is caught driving under-the-influence. he can be put in jail for one night, have his license suspended for six months, and be fined. If you did not pay attention in Mr. Dorney’s Driver Training classes, you might be a little scared when it comes time to getting and taking your license or taking the school’s driver’s test. 40 Student Life Twice as much fun Brent and Wayne Saunders have double the fun riding around the upper lot in their Trans Am.

And she presented a list of awardwinning academic and extracurricular accomplishments of the class to enhance her comment that “Parkland’s class of 1986 has excelled in almost every field it has entered. Faculty member. Miss Audrey Mathison felt that, “Amy gave one of the best speeches I have heard in nineteen years of teaching. This was because she spoke directly to all of the class members.” Like Amy. Dr. Mauro commented that. “I am confident that the class, in light of its past cooperation and effort, will continue to contribute to society. Reed Saunders accepted her diploma as class valedictorian. Class salutatorian was Michael Bulger. Mr Earl Beil, the school board president, presented the diplomas.

Students at Parkland High School are no exception. Whether it be dreaming about being a famous actor or actress or becoming a great politician, some students are actually pursuing this dream. Paul Cooper, sophomore, said, I would like to become a United States Senator. There are many economic programs I do not agree with and would like to change. Many of the Senators today are more concerned with raises than they are with making the US a better place to live. If I was a Senator, I would Sweet smell of success “I’ve seen a lot of comedy shows, both live and on television, but Bill Cosby's was the best I’ve ever seen. He kept everybody laughing for the entire hour and a half. ” Kevin Stein decide the fates of laws that would help govern the United States. Being famous, having power plus a large expense account doesn’t detract from the job either.” Sophomore Valerie Barton, who wishes to become an actress said, “Ever since I went to see a play on Broadway when I was seven years old. I’ve wanted to become an actress. Since then I’ve taken numerous dance and acting lessons. I’ve also done a few skits over summer vacations. My real goal is to star in a play on Broadway.” Instead of wanting to be famous, some students know famous people. When Kevin Stein was in Atlantic City, he and his family went to see Bill Cosby, a friend of Kevin's father. Kevin said. ‘‘Bill came out and looked around the crowd for a minute. Then he called my older brother and I up onto the stage. He asked us different questions like what sports do we play, where we went to school, what our favorite subjects were, and what we were doing while we were on vacation. When he was done with the them he told a string of jokes about my brother and I. His show was one of the funniest I've ever seen.” Concert for Cancer Senior Doug Miller got his chance to perform to help benefit the Cancer Society. His band. Live-Wire, was one of the bands that performed on March 15. We're on top Will we be famous? Sophomores Perry Schwartz and Rick Erkinger work hard at Vo-Tech Maybe someday Parkland students will say. “I knew them when Debate members seniors Reed Saunders.

Later, who knows? They may become the celebrities that all America talks about. Maybe someday when we’re looking through a magazine or watching the news, we’ll be able to say, “Hey, I know him, we went to high school together.” 46 Mlnl-Mag Diving champ makes a splash Taking the plunge Junior Steve Zamborski is ready to perform one of his medal winning dives Steve is one of the best divers Parkland has seen in a while. To many of us, a diving board is a novelty, a place of casual pleasure, but for Steve, diving is a way of life. Start your engines and let them roll “Welcome fans to another night of racing-racing-racing!“This is the announcement Nikki Kushner sometimes hears when she goes to race her jeep. Nikki, a senior, has been racing for two seasons. Nikki was almost brought up at the races. She has been going to them since she was 18 months old. Her father has been racing for 15 years, and her mother also gave it a try. Tuning up her jeep Senior Nikki Kushner is getting prepared for one of her races. Nikki's understanding of the mechanics of her jeep helps her while she is racing. Nikki’s dad helped her get started. Once she got her driver’s license, her father took her out in a field and let her practice. Nikki explained, “It took a while to get the hang of it. But, once I did. my times kept getting faster and faster.” Nikki’s jeep is is a CJ-7 with a 1970 54 Chevy big-block engine. Her father built their jeep. Before races Nikki has to make sure the jeep has enough alcohol to run on and check the pressure. As a member of Parkland’s diving team striving to do his best, Steve won his second district championship. His desire to become a diver was inspired by the skills of such divers as Bill Gorton and Todd Nesley, who later became his coach. They inspired him at the age of seven, and since then he has enjoyed doing some of his own high springing. In the summer, Steve dives for Westwood Heights swim team and trains two to three hours a day. Steve goes to diving camp at Penn State where he experiments with platform diving.

Junior Miriam Weidner said, When I found myself falling asleep in class, I would try to volunteer more. Somehow, being more active in class helped me to stay awake.” Senior Jenny Campbell said she counted all the lights, magazines and projectors in the Library during study hall one day because she was bored. Most students agreed, though, that in certain classes, finding ways to make the time go faster isn't necessary. These are the classes that seem to last a meager fifteen minutes. Senior Jeanine Henke said, “It was really the teacher that made the class. If the teacher took an interest in the students as well as in what they were teaching, it made me want to get more involved in the subject.” We even carried our Parkland spirit outside the classroom doors. Although the dreaded research paper is a part of everyone’s worst nightmare, we made the best of it. Senior Adam Hrincevich said, In the beginning, I kept putting off starting my paper. But, I soon realized how much fun it could be going to the Library and working on it with friends. It was also a great excuse to get out of the house!” Parkland students also added their Personal Touch to the Vo-Tech.

She also felt the courses are easier at Parkland. Sophomore Beth Ernest, also a transfer student, noticed. Teachers here are a lot harder on you. The teaching methods are a lot different than my old school!” The grading scale is easier at Parkland, but the way teachers grade students is noticeably harder, some feel. Harder or easier, students will have to learn to cope with the present grading scales. Overall students will overcome the challenging system. Final touch Seniors Stacey Redman and Susan Melady can sigh with relief at graduation knowing they made it through tests, teachers, and grades.

Give me a break! Sometimes the stress of doing well in school can really get to people After many tests, students feel like their brains have been drained.

They are students in Mrs. Dianne Missmer’s Spanish III class. 62 Academics w uring a test in my fj Modern Europe class, this kid passed out and the nurse had to take him away” remembers senior Eric Muskatell. This is one example of how students cope with the enormous pressures of tests. There are also less drastic ways to relieve some of the pressures of tests. Sometimes it's hard to handle all the pressures of teacher's expectations, tests, and good grades put on you Exams can really make you nervous and sometimes that causes you to do worse than you normally would do and that can be hard to explain to parents many times Sophomore Chris Carpenter others decided that mastering the art of cheating is the only solution to passing tests. Senior Jennifer Campbell observed one boy always made rapping noises during Business Math tests. During French tests, sophomore Andy Ferraro watched another student bang his head on the desk. While While some habits help students, they annoy others. Junior Dave Ufberg noticed. This kid was tapping his pencil on the desk and the kid sitting next to him got mad and grabbed it and snapped it in half. Pen tapping and foot stamping seem to be normal sounds during a not so quiet testing period. Singing was also a popular noise. Although all this noise tended to annoy some teachers, it was the price they had to pay for giving tests. After finishing the test, there is always the problem of trying to amuse yourself until the class is over. Of course, you can always sit and worry about the grade you are going to get.

Because of losses in the past, the district purchased the $14,000 Checkpoint system. The electronic system helps keep the library material secure and safe from thieves. The “disappearances have caused a great financial loss. Over the years, the library lost twice the number of books they were able to purchase, in fact. Mrs. Marion Saul, the librarian feels the system should pay off in the future She said. “The cost is not important, however, when you think I think the Checkpoint system is a good and much needed addition to the library because when it comes time to do research for my term paper and my reports all the information I need will be available, hopefully It can really be frustrating when you expect a book to be there and find out it is missing. Junior Michele Hodgin about how much you are protecting. Some students don't like the checkpoint sytem because it takes too long to enter and exit the upper and lower library. But many students feel the checkpoint system is a good addition to the library. Now. they are able to find all the books and other materials they need for term papers, speeches, reports, and so on.

Juniors Jane Gilvary and Kathy Hartman use the guidance office for help One of the most challenging decisions for a person to make during his school career is which college is right for him. Final grades, school activities, and SAT scores are major factors in being able to attend a college of one’s choice. To prepare for the dreadful, four- hour SAT test, many students take the PSAT in their sophomore year or attend improvement classes. David Ufberg and Carl Marci. juniors, took a course called the Pre-Test Review at the University of Pennsylvania. This course was held eight hours a day for two months. David commented. “For English we tried to improve our scores through the study of etymology while at the same time increasing vocabulary through memorization. We were also presented with various math problems. Periodically, we were given facsimile SATs to help build our endurance. I definitely think it helped to improve my scores. Many feel that these one-day tests have too great of a deciding factor on colleges. Students complain that if they have a bad day or do not perform their best under pressure, the SAT scores could ruin their chances of being accepted to a good college. Final grades also have considerable weight in going to a college of one’s choice or not. Consisting of one-fifth of the total grade average, the final exams are also thought unfair by many. “At least with SATs you can take them a few times, but with final exams you have one day to take a test that’s worth one-fifth of the entire school year. Alyssia Tonellis. junior said. Junior Kim Paganetti « Even though SATs are really hard, that's almost the only way colleges can really tell how well you will do at college Final Grades 67 68 Academics CP students often think Vo-Tech students have it easy. But Vo-Tech students know better. For example, cosmetology students must work 300 hours on mannequins before they can work on people in the Vo-Tech clinic. There they give haircuts, manicures, perms, etc. “I have to work hard learning about cosmetology, but it is worth it because I enjoy helping people improve their appearances,” said Barbara Schoene-berger. a junior. Besides working hard, the Vo- Tech students have to keep up with technological advances. One example of this is in the drafting program. Students do half their drafting on computers just as corporations such as Bell Telephone and AT T do. I have to work hard learning about all the techniques of cosmetology such as. cutting and coloring hair and applying markup, but it’s worth it because I enjoy helping people improve their appearances Junior Barbara Schooneberger The drafting instructor. Mr. Ronald Kulp said. “In this field it is recommended by the drafting business to go through a program such as this and then go to college.’ Mr. Ernest Ibarra, the Vo-Tech guidance counselor at Parkland, said. “Most of the graduates find jobs right away. Some even go to community colleges.” Drafting and cosmetology are only two out of twenty careers that are available for a Vo-Tech student. There are about 420 Parkland students who attend Vo-Tech. Hard work pays off Vo-Tech program isn’t easy, Working hard Learning the types of tools are just one of many items David Kelmer. sophomore, has to learn in his classes.

Give me a break!” This is a very common student saying. It seems there are never enough hours in a day to complete all assignments. Since there is never enough time to complete all the work, students have to find good excuses to give their teacher when they don’t finish. There were some unusual excuses this year. But some used a very common excuse. “My dog ate my paper.” Mr Robert Miller said. “My puppy ate a whole set of my student’s tests. So when students tell me ’my dog ate my homework’ I usually believe them.” Most students set aside a time each night to complete their homework. Junior Sonia Frantz said. “ I do my homework after school. My TV accompanies me in my dreaded I do my homework at the kitchen table with the radio on. The radio sits right next to me with my books scattered all over But when I have to study for a test I sit there in total silence. ” Junior Sabrina Hoffman chore of finishing my assignments. Senior Liz de Wild said. While do my homework. I sit in my room and listen to my radio. This keeps me from falling asleep.” Some days homework gets too frustrating for me.” explains a student. When this occurs, it goes on an air mail flight across my room and crushes against my wallpaper.” Many students do their homework because they have to. not because they want to. Some, however, don’t mind staying inside to do homework, even on a Friday night. Sophomore Dave Neff isn’t one of these people. He said. I’d rather be doing anything other than my homework.” Homework 71 72 Academics 111 ith every new school year there comes a change. There is the changing of friends, styles and emotions. Academically there are also many changes. A major one for 1986 was the change from the seven period day to the eight period day. Dr. Robert Mauro. principal, felt an increase in the classroom time was needed. He pointed out that last year, under the seven period day. classes met four days a week, an average of two hundred forty minutes per week. Dr. Mauro felt that. ‘‘an increase in time is an increase in continuity. With the new schedule changes there is less time to study. Even though a student has more opportunities to take the classes they want, they get more homework. 9J Senior Susan Varey ‘‘I don’t like the five day classes - there are no breaks and I have more homework at night. senior Angela Ferrizzi said. Along with the change in the eight period day, there was a switch from four to three lunch periods. The loss of one lunch period did not seem to bother most students. The lunch situation doesn't bother me; with only three lunches there’s more of a chance I'll be with my friends, junior Beth Jones said. Many students and faculty disagreed with the switch to the eight period day. They liked the flexibility of the old schedule. Senior Brenton Kidd said. I think with the extra period there will be a more demands on students. It also gives people extra homework. Three s a crowd Sophomores Andy Yankanich.

Many students seek employment at department and other small stores. tj any students dream of If having an exciting career while still in high school. Most students get jobs at stores, restaurants or amusement parks, but seniors who are enrolled in business courses have the chance to pursue the career of their choice and attend high school at the same time. Through Mr. Seltzer and the business department. I learned that there was a job available at Air Products. I then went for an interview and testing. Later I received a phone call and was hired. 99 Senior Ruth Grim when jobs are available. student names are submitted to the employer.The final step is to go on an interview with the employer. If the student has what the employer is looking for. then the student is hired. “Business Experience is for anyone who desires to go into the working world before graduation.” The Vocational-technical department also sponsors two half-day. working day programs. One is the Co-op Program or the cooperative work program. The job may last for a full year or just one semester. Stepping out Ruth Grim, senior, signs out of school to go to work at Air Products. Co-op students get to leave school for half of a day to go to work This is all made possible by the Business Experience program or B E. This is a program where students attend school for half a day and work for the other half. While at school they take the required courses to graduate. If seniors wish to be in the B.E. program, their names and qualifications are recorded. Then. The program is run through the Buisness department by Mr. Ralph Seltzer and Mrs. Bonnie Miller. Mrs. Miller remarked. The D.O. Program, on the other hand, differs a little. The students in this program find their own jobs and report it to the school. The school then checks into the job to make sure it has only a certain number of hours, minimum wage, and workmen's compensation.

Lifeguards in the making A helping hand This is an example of lifesaving techniques taught to students training to be future lifeguards. At the conclusion of this course they will receive a certificate from the Red Cross. Students lend a hand to non-buoyant swimmers during a land rescue drill. They do this by using rescue tubes to pull in the victims. 76 Academics What a life-saver Steve Zamborsky prepares to throw the lifesaving buoy into the water This is one of the many lifesaving techniques used Getting a little support Swimmers in lifesaving try to learn the rear approach, with a two hand level-off.

Parkland’s lifesaving course is very beneficial to anybody, espically for a lifeguard. I had to undergo very intense training to become one of their lifeguards.” Senior Bob Dorshimer said. You can’t beat the experience some students are receiving by taking the lifesaving elective. The requirements are being able to swim 880 yards using freestyle, side, and breast strokes. Lifesaving meets five times a week for half a year. “I feel the students are receiving much knowledge from this course. I think everyone in my class will be able to face up a felt the Lifesaving course was going to be an easy credit. To my surprise the course was challenging, intriguing, and overall it taught me more about lifesaving ” Senior Bob Dorshimer CPR. and water safety. Qualified students may also receive a Red Cross Advanced Lifesaving Certification. “My swimming techniques have become very well developed. I am learning CPR and water safety. Right now.

Lifesaving 77 A mong top graduating IA seniors, the high speed ' for typing was approximately seventy to seventy-five words per minute. Companies only require about fifty-five words per minute. This meant students were well-prepared for jobs. Parkland offered a complete business curriculum, but many students took only a few business courses. In fact, only about ten percent of the students were enrolled in the complete business program. The business courses I am taking will be helpful in my future. My typing, shorthand, and other business skills I have learned will help me get accepted into the business school of my choice I feel that I will be very well prepared in any career. 51 Junior Denise Flick business course receive the needed fundamentals for acquiring a job.” according to Mrs. Karen Duh. ‘‘All business courses are helpful in preparing for today’s challenging business world.” senior Angela Ferrizzi said. The business curriculum also offered many “extras.” The school store, for example, offered students management training. The several computer and accounting classes gave students skills for today’s jobs. Typing or shorthand classes reduced wasted time and improved job performance. “Working in the school store.

Mrs. Beth Krier and Mrs.Sandy Gauger, home economics teachers, organized a nursery school program for two weeks. A newsletter was sent out to the faculty members and any friends who had children between the ages of two and five. Among the children were Mr. Dan Waelchli’s son. all students. The teachers in this course were students, but most of the times the preschoolers taught the high school students. Sophomore Laura Brezack learned that. “The kids really know a lot more than you give them credit for. Mrs. Krier said. My students were to observe physical, mental, social, and emotioinal developments of the children. They also were to develop activities to help preschoolers learn educational activities. Chad; Mr. Dale Zimmerman’s son. Joshua; and Mr. John Gross’s two sons. Michael and John. The program, which lasted from sixth through eighth period each day. was part of a child development course offered to It’s more work than you would think to keep the kids entertained but it was to much fun it didn't teem like a job. It was quite an experience since I'm not around little kids very often and it taught me responsibility. It certainly wasn’t one of your everyday activities. ” Sophomore Sharon Zalar Nursery 81 One excuse teachers and parents use is It’s for your own good!”. Junior Lynn Dorward said, “These pressures can’t be for my own good — they’re driving me to an early grave!” My parents don’t put pressure on me — I put it on myself! I will admit my job and social life often get in the way of my homework JJ Junior Kristin Patt Juggling a job and schoolwork can sometimes cause problems. Junior Kirstin Patt said, “I used to spend hours on homework now I just don’t have the time, because of my job.” Pursuing future schooling is another one of the many things that lingers in the back of students’ minds. Many students’ parents would like them to get a better education. But. not all students feel the same way. “My parents want me to go to college after I graduate, but I don’t think that is the right thing for me.” sophomore Michelle Stufflet said. How was your day at school? is the first greeting many students are confronted with when they step through the door. Then parents follow it up by asking, “How did you do on your English test? Parents play a major role in adding to the many pressures students already have. One pressure students have is keeping up their grades. One student said. I have a lot of pressure put on me by my parents and my grandmother. I have two cousins that were va-ladictorians. Although I am not expected to be just like them, I am expected to do well.” Along with parental pressure there is the pressure put on you by teachers. Such as: “I know you can do much better!’’ and “You’re just not putting enough time into your work! are just a few side comments teachers tend to throw out at students to add to their pressures. 82 Acadmlcs Doing better Junior Pam Lentz discusses grading and test scores with teacher Miss Jane Roth.

It's in the practices that make all the games and meets worthwhile. It’s in the dedication that drives an athlete to become better, and it’s a big part of Parkland’s sports program. No matter what the event, PHS style is definitely original. And the memories will last a lifetime. Junior Janice Walck will never forget the swim team. She said, “I'll never forget the food fight celebrating our victory over East Stroudsburg. We had to clean up later, but even that was fun!” Sports is action too, and it never stops for players or spectators. An athlete’s performance is the major factor of a sport, but the spectators also play an important part in the action. The athletes play not only for the team, but also for the prestige that comes with playing a sport. Junior Tarek Al-fahl said, “The prestige comes from being able to handle the pressure. Some people thought the fitness workouts were too much and quit right away. Fun is an important part of playing a sport. Many become involved to have fun. Senior Denise Miller said, “Knowing that you can succeed and seeing your hard work pay off is what makes it fun!” Even practices have personality, despite the work that goes into them. The many hours of commitment can be grueling, but many athlete seem to gain some valuabe lessons. Junior Matt Kurtz said, “Sometimes you forget the basics and have to be reminded. Coach Greacen made us realize that good sportsmanship is important. Sometimes the hardest part of belonging to a sport is the practices. Jumping into a freezing cold pool in January to get a faster time in swim, wearing what ton in seems like a August to make more touchdowns, or staying after school every day to “pump iron.” When it comes to sports, Parkland definitely has The Personal Touch.

The Trojans kept close on a 50-yard interception by Senior Chip Wasson and a three yard plunge by Senior Tim Smith, both for touchdowns. With a strong defensive unit and an explosive fourth quarter drive. Parkland was able to pull within a point on a goal-line surge by Smith. The Trojans went ahead on Erik Steffy’s two point conversion. When the smoke cleared, the outcome was 22-21. Smith commented, “We were down but had the ability to win. If you mentally want the game, you'll physically achieve success. Wasson also stated that. “It took total team effort to win. When we were down, we pulled together and won. Allen was thought to be an underdog and an easy victory for PHS, but in the East Penn Conference, any team has the ability to win. At the Emmaus game, the Trojans dominated throughout the contest. Parkland’s defense shut-out Emmaus’ offense and controlled their all-league tailback. The deadlock was ended in the second half when Smith scored two touchdowns and Senior Karl Ziegenfus added the extra points. Wasson commented. “We dominated the game, and out-gained Emmaus in total yards. The team’s best overall game was against the Central Catholic Vikings. The Trojans dominated the game both physically and skillfully. The Vikings scored early on a Parkland fumble, but it was all PHS after that. The Trojans dominated the game.

The one win against William Allen was memorable. Sophomore Bill Mazzafro explained. “It was the first and only game we won.” Another good game Parkland played was against Bethlehem Catholic. Sophomore Greg Stahley said. “Even though we did not win. Bethlehem Catholic is a very tough team and I felt our team did better than any other team could.” A two-point loss to Central Catholic and a four-point loss to Northampton were heartbreakers. Sophomore Jim Campbell said. The game we played against Northampton seemed very promising in the beginning, we scored first, we thought we were going to win; we did not, but it was one of our closer games.” “Physically, the team was small,and we are often intimidated by the other teams.” Campbell stated. In addition, there were many first year players which meant lack of experience for the team. Campbell and Mike Siler were restricted from playing some games because of some minor injuries. Sophomore Glenn Gubich also was one of the other unfortunate players who could not contribute much to this season too. In practice a teammate stepped on Glenn’s foot and broke it. He also hurt his leg in that practice. Campbell had a knee injury that restricted him from playing in the Phillipsburg game. Mike Siler had a minor rib injury which kept him from playing most of the season. Meet the players Front row: Scott Cary. Mike Serfass. Matt Beitler. Jeff Griffith. Brian Lynn. Jim Campbell.

Emmaus led the whole game but the Parkland girls put up a good, hard fight. The Emmaus team scored their last two points in the second half. Junior Karen Faust stated. “Districts was my most memorable game, I was proud that we made it even though we lost.” Earlier in the season, though, the girls had broken a seven game Emmaus winning streak. The girls played like a team (in the playoffs) better than they ever had. They penetrated the Hornet defense and they were also in Emmaus’ circle a lot more than any other game they played. The opposing team’s goalie touched the ball only a few times. One of Parkland’s best games was against Liberty. 4-0. Parkland played more of an offensive game rather than a defensive game. Also, when senior Missy Dille was put on the forward line, she scored the first point of the game. Junior Alicia Shear said. “I felt that our team did the best possible, we were really organized and we played up to our standard.” Another good game was against the Northampton Kids. Faust said, “I made my only goal of the season during that game.” It was a close game. Parkland almost lost, but the final score was 2-1. “The girls were really psyched for the game,” said Coach Jill Buehler. “The team practiced extremely hard because they wanted to defeat Northampton.” The girls practiced five to six days a week for about two and a half hours. The practices helped the girls stay in top shape in order for them to play well. The practices consisted of running at least two miles every day. drills to improve their skills, and many various exercises. Meet the players Front row: Sally Helfrich. Tammy Frantz. Liz deWild.

Parkland immediately began to score which placed a tremendous amount of pressure on the opponents. By the end of the first half, Parkland had called it their game and were sure there could be no comeback. Becahi, which had had a strong season, never really got going that game. Captain Karl Ziengenfus stated “Our defense worked well together to preserve the shutout and the game was just an indication of how strong the defensive team was.” Becahi, though, almost got revenge in the second match-up later in the season. This game ended in a 2-2 tie. Becahi scoring the last goal made it impossible for the Trojans to win. There were other memorable games as the Trojans played each team in the East Penn Conference twice. The highpoints included two wins over both Phillipsburg and Northampton. In each of these games Parkland demonstrated great techniques to win. Junior Pete Engler said his most memorable game was “when we played Allen; they were ranked the second best team in the league, but we missed the penalty kick which cost us the game.” Unfortunately. Parkland has its defeats as well as its wins. Parkland was somewhat amazed at the strength of the defense side of the Freedom team. It was difficult for the Trojans to accept their 7-0 loss. The game started out slowly for the Trojans and, after several unsuccessful attempts to score, the Trojans began to lose touch of the game. The Varsity soccer team had quite a few players with many years of experience. Meet the players Front row: Mike Latham, Kevin Roth. Brian Segal. David Ufberg, Pat Lee, Shawn Weigel, Jerry Vogwill.

In the 15 games this season, the offense scored 39 goals while the defense allowed only six goals. The team won its hardest game of the season against Emmaus 1-0. Freshman Jim Hayes scored the winning goal on a penalty kick in the third quarter. Emmaus had a very physical team and a defense that intimidated Parkland’s offense, and the Hornets worked well as a unit. i Parkland dominated the game but could not put the ball in the net until the penalty shot. Sophomore Jeff Adams said his most memorable game was with Phillipsburg. “We really should have won the game. We did not play up to our capability that day and we paid for it.” The winning goal was scored on a bad shot in the double overtime game. The final score was 1-2. Adams also said, “Mr. Richard Latham, our coach, deserves so much of the credit for the great season we had.” For the JV Field Hockey team, the best game of the season was the 3-0 win over Northampton. Parkland worked well as a team and the communication paid off in the end. Allen was the most competitive and exciting game of the season because it was the first game of the year. The team consisted mostly of first year players who were anxious to start the season on the right foot by winning. The game was competitive and the PHS players wanted to beat their rivals.

Senior Deb Fetner said. “The whole team is really proud of Eric; and since the boys and the girls teams did well, it looks like we have a good chance of being District 11 Champions again.” The toughest meets this year for both teams were against Easton and Phillipsburg. Senior Rusty Erdman said. “Easton was a bad meet because they have a good team.” Sophomore Mary Blazofsky said. “I wasn’t able to run in a lot of the meets because I injured my arm. but they were a lot of fun to watch.” Sophomore Greg Post commented. “A lot of people think Cross Country is easy, but it’s not. we run six to eight miles a day to increase our speeds. Most of us run on our own. outside of practice and practices started before the school year even started.” Many of the truly dedicated runners practiced throughout the entire year. Some practiced just to stay in shape, and others to improve their times for the next year.

It takes more than one year of coaching for a winning team, we are confident that we'll do better next year. An unfortunate mistake was made by Miss Bortz that cost the team their match against Nazareth. Near the end of the match, she called for a third time out. giving Nazareth the point they needed to win with the two point margin. You are only allowed two time outs. The team members thought they had a very good chance of winning. The score was Parkland 13 Nazareth 14 at the time of the mistake. The team won three games and lost fifteen. One of their worst matches was against Becahi, undefeated for the last five years. Parkland got close to winning, though; the final score of the first game of the match was 10-15. The team’s record had relatively little effect on its spirit, Yost said. “We still got psyched for our matches, sometimes our losses got us down, but then a win would come along and bring us back up.” She then added. “We weren’t the most psyched team,” though sophomore Sharon Zalar commented. “I think we had more talent than that which was reflected by our record.

I’ve made a lot of friends.” -Mary Oyola “I enjoy being a student trainer because it gives me good experience in Athletic Training which is a career I would like to pursue.” -Tracy Maurer Closing in on athletics Hany extra people, including managers, assistant coaches, and student trainers are on hand to aid coaches of teams before, during, and after an athletic event. First, there’s preparation. Preceding home wrestling meets, for example, team members lay down and tape together the mats. Matmaids must then mop the mat in order to disinfect it. The whole process takes about a half hour. Junior Sue Valentine, matmaid, commented. “We were used, abused, and misused by the wrestlers, they always demanded us to do things for them, but it was worthwhile and a good experience.” Before a track meet, team members and managers set out the starting blocks and hurdles, set up the pits for the jumping competitions, and set out the shotputs. javelins and discuses. During events, managers keep score, take statistics, and aid the players if they become injured. They must also time certain events if necessary. Senior Mary Oyola commented. “It may seem easy to be a manager, but it isn’t. We have a lot of responsibility. If something goes wrong, it usually rests on our shoulders.” The extra people are also needed after an event. For example, the equipment needed during a track meet or wrestling match must be taken down and put away so it will be available for the next meet. The athletes themselves must prepare for events. It is vital for them to do warm up exercises in order to make their muscles more flexible and less susceptible to injury. If a player forgets to perform these exercises, he or she could run the risk of a cramp or pull. “This was my first year as a manager and I had a really great time. It was nice to know that the players really needed us.” -Jessica Schelly “Being a Matmaid was great.

Behind the Scenes 103 Team finds its season difficult The highlight of the season for the Varsity Basketball team was the game against Dieruff when Parkland defeated them 48-42. Senior Eric Steffy helped the Trojans pull out as the victors with his good foul-shooting. 'We practice our foul shooting a lot after school and it really paid off during this time.” stated Steffy. However, the second time around. Dieruff took revenge on Parkland, winning by 16 points with a score at 35 for the Trojans and 51 for the Huskies. In the first half of the season. Parkland was defeated by Becahi 47-56. Striking back in the second half of the season. Parkland was victorious by a 13-point landslide. Junior Tony Frye stated. “Our team was proud to say we won considering Becahi is a pretty good team. Many players remember a particular game as being their best. Junior Matt Kurtz said. “The game against Freedom was my best. I had 12 points, one turnover and a block or two. I played well compared to my other games.” Frye stated his most memorable game. “The second time we played Dieruff was my best game because I was on the foul line and scored.” Though there were many memorable moments, the players do not feel they played as well as they could have this season. Many were disappointed by the season record. Frye stated. “We could have played better for Varsity; we had a lot of talent but did not use it to our full capacity.“Junior Todd Miller stated. “Overall the team played well considering all of the injuries that the team suffered. I cannot remember any time in the season where our starting line up was the same for more than five games.” t= Meet the players Front Row: Coach Mike Dobil. Daryl Hausman.

These games were an overtime win at Emmaus, a double overtime win at Northampton, and a victory over Easton in the second last game of the season. The victories over Emmaus and Northampton gave the team enough wins to get them into the playoffs. Coach Fatzinger also said, Beating Easton and Freedom gave us victories over teams that had better talent. In the first round of the playoffs the Trojanettes played the Easton Red Rovers. The Trojanettes lost by the score of 34-56, eliminating them from the playoffs. This season two players were picked for the all-star team. Senior Anna Girling made the second team for the East Penn League and LARC all-star teams. Junior Jane Gilvary was picked for the third team of the East Penn league all-star team. Graduating from the squad are only two seniors, Christy Salvaggio and Girling, the captains. Coach Fatzinger felt they both led the team verbally as well as by example. Coach Fatzinger said, I feel we have the personnel and experience to be a contender next year. But because of the competitiveness of the East Penn League it will be necessary for the all the players to pratice very hard and improve over the summer. n= Meet the players Front row: Kristy Simock, Sherri Sevan, Kathy Hartman, Suzie Salvaggio.

We were trailing, going into the fourth quarter to tie, but we pulled through to win.” Mazzafro also enjoyed playing against Central Catholic. He stated, “We went all out for the last game of the season.” Junior Tony Frey, who plays for both the varsity and the junior varsity stated. “During the game against Liberty I scored twenty-two points which was the largest amount I ever scored.” Frey also said he liked playing with the junior varsity instead of varsity because he got a lot more playing time in. Many of the players felt that they needed more playing experience. This season was a good one for learning the basics. Mazzafro had a major disadvantage this season upon coming out of the football season, he experienced a minor knee injury, so he wasn't allowed to play as much as he wanted. The girls' season was very competitive although mediocre. The majority of the team were sophomores and the rest were freshmen. Center Sue Gava sophomore stated, “My most memorable game was against Freedom. I scored 9 points. Also Sophomore Tracey Bosonac added. “The game against Central Catholic was great because I felt most confident in our team.

He also said, “Our sucessful season was due to our upper weight classes and the determination of the whole team.” “The Varsity and the Junior Varsity were family-like, when the Varsity won we (JV) were psyched, it helped us out a lot at our next meet,” commented a wrestler. “We (JV) were disappointed that Varsity didn’t do better; we were emotionally affected by it,” commented Demko. “The meet that I will most remember was against Southern Lehigh. We worked really well as a team and wrestled to our fullest potential.

The teams met again in November and Emmaus took revenge on Parkland, winning by 9 points. Junior Joe Sembrot said. “The best game was against Emmaus; we defeated them for the first time and broke their string record of 67 games.” Senior David Pacaro added. “It was Emmaus’ first loss in 5 years, and Parkland was the only team to beat them.” The team ended with a 13-3 record. Close matches dominated the rest of the season. For example. Parkland was somewhat amazed at the strength of the Freedom team as the Trojans lost 575-574. The team had beaten the Patriots earlier in the season by a number of points. “It was a good season, but we shouldn’t have lost to Freedom and Becahi. Overall I was pleased with the season.’’ Coach Douglas Lindenmuth said. Becahi was another close match for Parkland. This was the Trojans’ first game of the season. They won the first game and were later defeated by Bethlehem Catholic. Teamwork very much contributed to the success of the season. It is a very important factor which helps all players strive for victory. “It was a good team, mainly guided by seniors and there were also some underclassmen that had a chance to play that will be helpful for next year.” stated Sembrot. Pacaro added. “The underclassmen seemed very interested in the games and participated very much, they will be very beneficial for the team next year.” All of the team members felt the overall season was very good. Pacaro’stated. “After we beat Emmaus we started getting a little too confident; that is why we lost at the end of the season.” Meet the players Front row: David Weiner. Joe Sembrot. Jim Howells.

Senior John Pavolko breaks through the banner made by the Cheerleaders Football is the most expensive sport Driving the ball Senior Bob Posocco is driving the ball during a golf match. Golf team members are required to have their own equipment in order to play on the team 118 Feature — Personally speaking Fall season is most costly The equipment used by athletes during events is the most important part of every game. Yet, most people, including the athletes themselves, never stop to think how much it all costs, or who picks up the bill. According to Mr. Bill Derricott. assistant athletic director, the most expensive time of the year is the fall season. This is mostly due to the high cost of football. Because of the danger of the sport, the players need a lot of protective equipment. A single helmet can cost over $100, and a football costs around $35. Besides football in the fall, a single set of pom-poms for a cheerleader may cost $40. The sports which cost the least amount to run in 1986 were volleyball, track and golf. Hardly any equipment was purchased for these teams by the school. While the school provides athletic equipment for most of the sports, the golf team members have to provide their own. This may prove to be an advantage though, because prospective members of the team probably have previous knowledge of the sport. The only instruction that some players may need is on how to improve their skills. The fall season is also one of the biggest income makers of the year. Students are charged $1.50 admission to a football game, and adults are charged $2.25. Part of the money pays the teachers who worked taking tickets, and the rest of it goes into the sports fund. Basketball games and wrestling matches are also money makers. .p-% “I think it’s fair that golf team members have to buy their own equipment. If someone is dedicated to have their own equipment then they’re dedicated enough to be on the team.” -Dave Pacaro ‘‘A lot of money is spent on football because a lot of equipment is involved. But I don’t think other sports should be neglected.” -Jim Campbell More money should be spent on girls’ sports. After all. we’re athletes just as the guys, and more attention is given to them.” -Chris Yost “The most money is spent during the football season. We can’t send a man onto the field without a helmet.” -Mr. Bill Derricott Inset photo The new lockers in the field house were greatly needed by athletic teams Cost of equipment 119 Varsity baseball defeats Allen During the game against Allen, in the first inning Parkland scored eleven runs and knocked out the league’s top pitcher. The Allen game was a key one because the players worked as a team instead of depending on one person to do the job. Parkland also started a four game winning streak with that game. The Trojans wanted a berth in the playoffs. but with a 5-7 record, the team had to win its last games to play in the Leagues. The streak helped, but they lost by one game. Parkland was also the second finisher in the West Division. Parkland defeated Allen. Central Catholic. Dieruff, and Whitehall. In the last game. Parkland defeated Dieruff 9-7. Junior Curt Sannie, a pitcher, stated. “A key game I pitched this season was against Emmaus; it was the first game of the season. I felt that we had a great team effort and a good defense.” Junior Danny Yannes. who is known as the utility player, said. “I was proud of our season; we tried hard and I felt that our team accomplished a lot. Another key game this season was against Central Catholic; Parkland scored four runs in the last inning. The final score of the game was 14-4. “We didn’t think we would win the game, because the first time we played against Central we lost 6-10. I’m very happy that we won; it was a shock to all of us. commented Yannes. The team members were pleased with the total outcome of the season. “If we play our cards right, we will continue to do as well in the future, said Sannie.

One of these games was .he first game of the seaon against the Easton Red Rovers. The Trojanettes scored five points in the first inning, which was a great accomplishment. The team felt very strong and determined to start the season off on the right foot. During the game against Becahi, the score was 0-0 for the first 7 innings. In the bottom of the tenth inning. freshmen Diane Krigley was on third base when Senior Stacey Ulrich bunted. Krigley scored on a Suicide Squeeze. The outcome of the game was a Parkland victory, 1-0. Junior Juli Bacon, first base player, commented. “The game against Becahi was a major game this season. We played extra innings and scored. To do that was a goal of the team.“ Another well played game was the team’s last against the Central Catholic Vikings. The Trojanettes beat the Vikings 7-0, never letting them score a run. “I was really pleased that we beat Central. The first time we played we were defeated, and I wasn’t sure how we would do.” commented Senior Stacey Ulrich. The players were very satisfied with I the season.

The game against Emmaus was the most exciting. Emmaus had a real tough record. 14-1. In the seventh inning, while Parkland was leading 3-1, Emmaus got three straight hits, two doubles and a triple. A new Trojan pitcher threw a wild pitch and Emmaus won 4-3.” Sophomore Dorn Stella added. The game against Emmaus was very exciting even though we didn’t win. We were winning at the start and they came back to beat us by one point.” Many players feel the season was mediocre.” Sophomore Jim Lucas stated. It was a rebuilding season; we did not win a lot of games and I think we needed a little more time for a stronger comeback at the end of the season. It was a fair season. Many of the team players feel they just didn’t get the hits when they needed them. The JV Softball team ended with a 9-7 record. The team played very well considering the number of freshmen players. Sophomore Jennifer Beck, third base, recalled a key game. When we played Northampton, we were not victorious at this game; but the opposing team didn’t win too easily either. We were closing in on them until the very last inning. Many players were proud to say the score was 4-5 because they are a very strong team.” 4 Meet the players Front row: Danny George. Mike Salovay.

The team earned a 9-2 record, losing meets only to Emmaus and Phillipsburg. Against Emmaus they lost by the close score of 65-76. The meet went down to the last two events, the triple jump and the distance relay. It was predicted that the Trojanettes would lose both meets and they would not be close but. with a great deal of determination the girls put forth their best effort and most had their best times of the season. Three records fell this year. Senior Liz DeWild broke the school record in the javelin event. Senior Denise Miller broke the school 100 high hurdles record, and sophomore Lisa Kranch broke the sschool record in the 300 hurdles.

Parkland’s ‘A’ team went to Fort Pendleton, California to compete in nationals. Contrary to popular belief, the team’s trip to California wasn’t all for pleasure, the team worked hard all year, and their efforts certainly paid off. The boys placed seventh in nationals, and the girls placed second. Going to California was an incentive for many students to join the fitness team. But many joined for other reasons. “Fitness is a great way to improve one’s physical health, and it provides a high standard of competition. I really enjoyed being on the fitness team,’’ commented junior Marc Frey. There are five exercises that team members must perform to achieve the total 500 points. They are 100 sit-ups in two minutes, 30 perfect pull-ups, a 44 second 300 yard shuttle run, a 9’10’’ standing broad jump, and 60 perfect pushups. The first meet that the fitness team competed in was the Emmaus Invitational held at Emmaus High School. The girls and boys both took first place. “Emmaus was the toughest, most competitive team we met the whole year, commented Sophomore Bill Yost. “Whenever the team meets Emmaus. there is always a huge sense of competition, because they are one of the best teams in our area.” Basically, the team was pleased with their over-all achievements. Junior Alicia Shear said. “I am very pleased with the outcome of the season.

Spaghetti dinner. Homecoming. Volleyball marathon. These events all added to Parkland's Personal Touch. Without the clubs that sponsored these events, PHS would be just another school. Clubs help give Parkland a personality of its own. Students are sure to find a club that fits their interests, with over forty different ones to choose from. Students who enjoy serving the community joined the Key and Leo Clubs. They sponsored the spaghetti dinner, helped run bingo games for senior citizens, and participated as huggers in the Special Olympics. A student government organization, Student Council tries to improve PHS. In the summer of 1986, a sidewalk from the upper lot to the teacher’s parking lot will be installed. Many organizations will help fund the walk, but student council initiated the idea. Student council member Stacey Hamm said, “I’m glad we are doing something that will benefit the students in our school. Organizations such as NHS and Quill and Scroll recognize students for their outstanding work in academics and publications, respectively. NHS sponsored the volleyball marathon, which brought students together to raise money for Gary Hilbert, a fellow student. Senior Geoff Spitko said, I had a great time at the marathon. It was fun to be on a team with all of my friends.” A new club started this year was the Latin Club. Some members participated in chariot races, in which three students pulled the chariot while one stood in it. Senior Jeff Burdik said, “For the first year of the club, we managed to participate in a lot of activities, and we had fun, too!” Whether it's in the German, drama, or Key club, students bring out their personalities many ways.

Many groups and activities support the school and spirit, but the charisma and endless enthusiasm of the cheerleading squad far outweighs that of any other organization. Besides performing at football games, basketball games, and wrestling matches, the cheerleaders lift the confidence and morale of each player before a game or match by thoughtfully decorating their lockers and leaving good luck “goodies on the day of a competition. The cheerleaders met weekly to practice and perfect their routines. There were eleven new members of this year’s squad who got acquainted with each other at a party held by senior Colleen Stella. They began practice in the summer with easy cheers and gradually worked up to the more complicated routines. They practiced mounts and pyramids which could be dangerous, but they follow rules set by The Pennsylvania Athletic Association in regard to these difficult activities. Sophomore Shonda Bear said,“It takes a lot of time, but I like the squad a lot and I like what I’m doing.” Shonda was one of the new members. “I’m proud to be a cheerleader.

Never before had they staged a production simply for the student body. But, this year, because the junior class studies “Our Town.’’ the Drama Club performed it in an assembly for the class. Junior Mike Parkinson, who had a major role, said. “It was a great feeling to be able to participate in the play and a great deal of fun. too.” Amy Nigro. president, added that she was glad that the play was performed because of the important theme.” The club taught members acting and speech techniques. Member Liz Sarachek said. “There’s a lot of talent and it’s a shame not everyone can have the chance to show it because of the lack of parts.” Some feel that the club brings out confidence in a person and is really worth putting time into. A goal for this year was to try to get as many people in plays as possible. The club is very time consuming and takes effort. However, most members can vouch that it is definitely worth it. Anything that takes dedication eventually pays off. and it is obvious by the several successful plays that the club produces during the year. The annual banquet took place on October 24 and eleven new members were inducted. There was a large buffet and following the meal, skits were performed by members of the club. This gave new members a chance to get acquainted with the people who they would be working with during the year. This year’s musical was “Oklahoma” which brought out those with singing talent. “There’s a lot of talent and it’s a shame not everyone can have the chance to show it... ” The climax resolves The Mousetrap by Agatha Christie is concluded as Carol Durner and John Vincent act out the final scene 138 Clubs CLUBS 139 TRUMPET Front row: Jennie Campbell, Kim Stack.

Both these events took a lot of effort as Vice President David Ufberg can attest. “Sometimes it gets really hectic with trying to do things, but in the end when things work out and everyone is happy. I’m happy too. All the money that is raised by these activities goes to the school. A major amount of money was given to Parkland for the new fieldhouse. Funds for these contributions were mainly raised by such activities as Fun Night and Homecoming. Student Council worked on the decorations, renting of cars, and floats for the Homecoming celebrations. Preparations for Fun Night began a month and a half before the big event finally took place. Council had to pick a theme and send out applications for stands to various clubs. Prizes were given out for first, second, and third place. These prizes went to the band. Trumpet and Par Key. and Key Club. Other contributions went to other areas of Parkland. Senior Denise Miller said “Student Council really helps the school, they plan many of the social events and activities, and belonging to this organization is important to the school.” Student Council also has one non-voting member of the Parkland Board of School Directors. Senior Karen Trevaskis was this year’s representative and had the opportunity to speak for the students.

Three ■ weeks before school started from eight in the morning until noon, the 1985 band began practice. Every second of these practices was spent marching, playing, and trying to organize hundreds of details so the band would be ready for the first football game. Junior Jenny Drey stated that “Everything was a mess for the first week, but after that, things seemed to fit together.” The band also practiced after school every day for ninety minutes to make sure every movement was made in unison, all formations were precise, and all notes were played perfectly. To get every step and every note right, and to know when to turn left or right is a group project. Finally, it was September 6. time for the first football game of the season. Led by director Alfred Reimschissel. the band was ready to make sure halftime was never boring. Besides the 75 members of the marching band, there were over 50 members of the band front. These members included the majorettes, silks, rifles, and main guard. Their practice was just as grueling as the band’s practice. All the practice paid off for those five members who competed in Regionals.The five members were Fausto Pineda. Mike Morrison. Paul Lu, Drew Smith and Mike Pagotto. One method of practice and exercise is called a“suicide”. It is when the members play their instrument and walk back and forth on the football field at the same time. This builds up endurance that they need in the season. This is just one of the practice methods that strengthen the band. “Everything was a mess for the first week, but after that things seemed to fit together.” Marching in line Colin Ringer.

The club is for students of Latin I and II formed by Mr. Scott Bowers. The club is divided into five groups with a different president for each. The groups are: Samnites. Latins, Sabines. Villanovians, and Tribus Missingus. All groups had some new ideas for the club such as a toga party, building a chariot, foreign language T-shirts, and participation in Food Day. They attended A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum at the Civic Little Theater. They were able to do this from some of the $122 they earned from the moon walk. The Icarian Adventure. and their food stand. Ambrosia Nectar, at Fun Night. The club is a member of the Junior Classical League and senior members attended a Pennsylvania Junior Class League Convention at West Chester University on May 23-25. There were academic and athletic competitions, a Roman banquet, and dances. Six undergraduate members were allowed to accompany them. Mr. Bowers hopes more will be able to attend next year. Junior John Yocum said, Even though this is the first year the Latin Club formed, we raised a lot of money and I feel that next year it should be bigger and more productive. The German Club, although not new to Parkland proved to have another productive year. Advised by Mrs. Helga Kopperman and led by President senior Debbie Wagner, meetings were held every other Tuesday morning at 7:30. There they discussed such fund raisers as selling M Ms and hoagies. Funds raised frorrt these activities went toward a group trip to New York City to see the play, 42nd Street and the Empire State Building. “Even though this is the first year the Latin Club formed, we raised a lot of money.” Leading the group Sitting before a meeting.

Debaters get first place Ladies and gentleman, honorable judge, worthy opponents...” This, the beginning of every speech, was recited with confidence during every debate this year. After receiving a resolution all members researched. Though this work was difficult and sometimes grueling, in the end it was worth the time. Then speakers prepared speeches and questions to become more knowledgable of the topic. The team holds mock debates prior to debates to build confidence and for practice. There were four rounds of debates this year and by the end of the season. Parkland was second only to Easton. At the semi-finals, which were held at Easton, the talented team of seniors Andy Zeitlin. Reed Saunders. Steve Rhoades, and Dino V. Saccani, finally defeated Easton for the yearly league championship. In April, the team held its annual banquet at Chi-Chi’s. The time was spent looking back on the past year and electing new officers. Eric Foster took the new position of president and made a short speech informing the team of his goals and anticipations of the year to come. Past president. Jon Newhard. spoke of the good and bad points of the year and how next year’s team could be better. The year ended with a great deal of satisfaction on the part of all debaters. After years of second place trophies at finals, the team finally took charge and took first place from Easton, hopefully paving the way for more first places. “We had a great year and I’m proud of all of you.” With a lot of concentration The finals team for debate makes some last preparations before they begin, discussing the best plan to beat Easton. 146 Clubs NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY Front row: Amy Nigro.

Thanks to students like senior Bret Saylor, who works in the student store, this is made possible. The student store workers earn a class credit for their work. Bret explained. “We are each assigned a specific category of store supplies. For example, one person may be in charge of ordering candy, while another is in charge of novelties. Then we learn how to use the cash register and take inventory. It’s really a great experience. Aquatic aides are students who have passed their Red Cross Advanced Lifesaving test and are applicable swimmers. Sophomore Andy Ferraro says. “We help out the swim instructors by teaching the nonswimmers various strokes. This way. the instructors can concentrate on the rest of the class.” I want to study to become a Nurse, and when I apply to colleges. I think being a Nurse’s aide will help out a lot, junior Michele Hodgin said about why she volunteers to help out in the health room. Michele is among several volunteers who run various errands for the Nurse. They file, deliver slips to teachers, and check in students. Being a Library aide can also be a rewarding experience. Sophmore Shonda Bear explained. “I really enjoy being a library aide. I assist the librarians by working with the magazines and mail. I also put away books students return and help them find information they may be having problems locating.” Besides all of these tasks. Shonda also worked with the micro-film and ran errands for the librarians. Sophomore Mary Blazofsky. another library aide. said. I was proud to be an aide.

Whenever ' students hear this announcement, they know that they have to vote for the people that will do the best possible job as leaders of their class. Several days before the voting takes place, candidates make posters to show their enthusiasm and to get as many votes as possible.Each class has different responsibilities and jobs to accomplish throughout the year. Though all jobs demand much effort, the position of Senior Class President seems to be the most difficult. President Cheryl Kindt has many responsibilities. For instance, she organizes all student-faculty activities; she is in charge of the graduation exercises; she decides what gifts should be presented to teachers and begins plans for the reunions of the future. The Vice President. Nikki Kushner. is Cheryl's right hand person. She mentioned. Being Vice President for the past two years was a very rewarding experience that I’ll never forget. The Junior Class officers have responsibilities different from the others. Their main yearly project is organizing the prom. Though this event lasts only a few hours, the class officers put in months of work for the evening to be a success. The jobs of the Sophomore Class Officers are not as complex as those of the Junior and Senior Class Officers. Their main goal is to acquire as much money as possible for their class. This is basically done through fund raisers. Much of the money raised is directed for their prom. At times the position of a class officer may seem fun and glamorous, but each and everyone can vouch that it takes planning and preparation to do a good job. “We had a successful year and I hope next year is as good...” Staying on top of things As treasurer.

It was their most successful season and they placed first in the Penn Jersey Chess League Championships. Adviser. Mr. Edward Buss, encouraged the members to practice as much as possible. September through December they met four times a week. During the actual season. December to March, they met twice a week to sharpen their skills. This may seem like quite a rigorous training schedule, but the hard work paid off. Their record was ten wins, no losses and one draw. As senior Mike Pagatto said. “This was our best year because we had our best record.” Because of the remarkable season, they received their first place in the Championships for the second time. Earlier in the year they went to States and received a score of 100 out of 500. which means they had an even amount of wins and losses. Mr Buss said that the whole team performed with excellence, as seen in their record; however, seniors Paul Lu and junior Tim McBride did exceptionally well. They were both undefeated. “This was our best year because we had our best record.” Planning things out A newer organization called Tapestry really developed a fine Literary Magazine this year.

Seven made it to regionals, and Senior Louise Meyer qualified for states. When asked what she thought of this honor. Louise stated. It was the most exciting choral festival to sing with the best singers across the state. 1985 ended with a bang as the chorus put on the Christmas show. They sang such joyous holiday tunes as How Lately We Watched.” The chorus attended two adjudications during the New Year. In February, the full mixed chorus attended one at Easton High School, where they took the top rating. Later in the year, the Womens Ensemble and the Parkland Singers Unlimited attended another adjudication at Roxbury High School in New Jersey. They received a high score of superior. Senior Laura Wilcoxson said, We performed our best at Roxbury, and it showed. We received a lot of compliments from total strangers. It made all of us feel really special and good about ourselves. Springtime came and the chorus was ready to put on a fabulous show. The theme was a patriotic tribute to Miss Liberty. Two guests were invited to perform with the chorus members. A guest conductor, Miss Denise David; and a guest soloist, Mr. David Kissler. The chorus sang a wide variety of medlies which all contained a patriotic theme. The final presentation of the year was a program set up especially to welcome the Lion's Club convention to Allentown. This special performance took place at the Hotel Hilton, on May 18. “It was the most exciting choral festival to sing with the best singers” A voice stands out A smile from Louise Meyer, a senior who qualified for States 154 Clubs Holiday spirits Parkland Singers Unlimited rejoice to the joyous melodies of holiday tunes Festive voices Jubilant voices fill the air at the winter chorus presentation.

The events that occurred affected people across the United States and Inspired opinions from those at Parkland. This section is devoted to the Inspirational and sometimes unfortunate and tragic events that occurred during this year and to student reaction to those events. 156 Mini-Mag Local robbery shocks all Tragedy in Bath The bank robbery proved to be a true disaster in our area. Three people were shot to death and two were wounded. A little closer to home, an incident occurred that shocked many. On June 6, two men wearing painters hats entered First National Bank of Bath in East Allen Township and began to randomly shoot workers and customers. Three employees of the bank were shot to death and another employee was critically wounded. Some two thousand dollars were also missing from the bank. Less than three hours after the shootings took place, a car fitting the description ot the getaway car was stopped by state police on Route 22. Both men had records and later admitted having planned the robbery and shootings. They said that they had originally planned to kill everyone in the bank and eliminate any witnesses. On a warranted search of the suspects’ homes, amounts of money were found hidden. Many were shocked In hearing about this tragic occurrence. It was like something from a movie, stated a worker at the bank. Comet soars across sky A brilliance in the eky. Haley's Comet could be studied between May 1966 to March 1967. For those of you who missed it, see you in 76 years Comets have always had a superstitious and mythical root. In ancient times these comets were believed to be a heavenly message from the Gods on Mt. Olympus. In the 17th century, a man named Edmund Halley turned this superstition into a scientific concept. After years of research, Halley predicted that the comet would appear every 76 years. Before he died, he predicted that the comet would appear in 1910. After it did appear on schedule, scientists named it Halley’s Comet. Last August it appeared again. It could not be viewed with the naked eye. but some people took their telescopes to the Muhlenberg College Science Center and caught a glimpse. Other interested amateur astronomers such as Mr. Duane Ashenfalder and Mr. Scott Bowers travelled to Indian Tower in Nazareth to watch the comet with binoculars. Dictator overthrown in Philippines The world held its breath for the Philippines during the election for democracy of a dictatorship. Never in the long and turbulent history of the Philippines has there been an election quite like it. The country was split in half, while farmers and plantation workers cheered for Cory Aquino. President Marcos prepared speeches in Manila to gather as many votes as possible. Marcos had been in power since 1965 and again won this election against Aquino. However, rumors spread all over the country that Marcos had control of the ballot counting. After years of the country’s great unemployment rate and foreign debt exceeding $26 billion, it was obvious that Marcos could not have had the majority. Junior Lenny Bundra said. I’m glad that they got him out of the country and maybe the Philippines can solve some of their problems now. Newt 157 Hands linked for hungry On May 25, 1986 , concerned citizens in the United States formed a human chain from coast to coast. This was to raise money for the homeless and hungry of our country. Biology teacher, Mr. Duane Ashenfalder, was one of the few people from Parkland fortunate enough to participate in the event. While talking about the project, he said. “This type of project is most important to me because it benefits the needy in America.’ He said that even though he did not know the man standing next to him, he felt as though there was a bond between them during the actual project. The benefit raised millions of dollars, as did many other projects. However, this project was different due to its uniting force. Nuclear disaster occurs in Russia We live in a nuclear age and many fear ultimate world disaster. On April 26. there was an explosion at the Chernobyl nuclear facility in the Soviet Union. The Soviets chose not to inform the rest of the world about the incident. On April 28, technicians at a nuclear power plant in Sweden noticed high levels of radiation in the air. Later, they realized that the radiation was caused by the Chernobyl explosion and that it was moving over the Ukraine and into Eastern Europe. The Soviet Union actually put the rest of the world in a state of danger. People were killed from the initial explosion and release of radiation. The Ukraine, which is many times referred to as the “bread basket of the Soviet Union was hit the worst with radiation. Farmlands and natural water sources are so contaminated that even decades from now they will still contain radioactive toxins. Even in the United States, low levels of radiation have been found in milk and water samples. Had the Soviets informed the United States, we might have been able to help. Concerning the incident. Senior Cheryl Kindt said, “I think that what happened is very tragic and should serve to warn all modern countries of the dangers involved with nuclear power.” People helping people P0opl0 scrota tho nation joinod hands in an aflort to raiao money for our country's hungry and homalaaa. 158 Mini-Mag Shuttle tragedy stuns all Libya The newspapers were filled with stories of terrorism and violence this year. In May of this year, the intelligence sources at the White House had reason to believe that Libya was behind many of the terrorist acts that were occurring around the world. Consequently, to the surprise of the entire world, the United States bombed Libya in retaliation for their actions. The bombing destroyed several terrorist camps and also several air bases. Junior Jeff Strauss said, If Gaddafi feels that he can get away with killing innocent civilians, then the U.S. has every right to take action and put him in his place. Mike Jarrouj had a different point of view about the bombing. He said, Just as I don’t condone terrorism backed by Libya. I also don’t agree with America fighting terrorism with more of the same. If America and others would leave the Middle East, these countries could settle their own affairs on their own terms. This would halt terrorism as well as save the hard earned tax dollar. Tylenol The Tylenol incidents brought fear to many consumers across the nation. The Tylenol story began a year ago, however it had such an impact on society that many similar incidents occurred again in 1986. Another dosage of cyanide was placed in several capsules of Tylenol, causing the death of several users. Since this incident and ones similar to this, the safety packaging of such drugs has increased tremendously. Safety seals are on every product and buyers are urged to call in or return the product if the seal is broken. A new Tylenol product called a caplet has been manufactured. Sophomore Jenny Cook stated her opinion I think it’s tragic that someone could even think about doing something like that. It’s so out of control and hard to keep from spreading.’ The nation was in a state of excitement as the spaceship Challenger was preparing for take-off after many days of delay. This was the first time in our nation’s history that we were about to put a teacher in space. Another objective of the project was to set up two more communications satellites in space. Family, friends, and students anxiously awaited the lift off of Christa McAuliffe. McAuliffe was the pioneer and symbol of the new era of space for everyone. A high school school social studies teacher, she was to be the first ordinary person shot into space. This was an era that lasted only 73 seconds. Disbelief turned to horror as the reality became all too clear. McAuliffe and the six astronauts had disappeared in an orange and white A short time in space The spaceship Challenger was in the air for only seventy-three short seconds before the tragic explosion took place fireball miles above the Atlantic. Many Parkland students remember the very moment that Dr. Robert Mauro announced the explosion over the PA system. Junior David Ufberg said. I was deeply distressed about the entire incident and pray that in the future no more mistakes will be made. Mrs. Dale Honig, who could relate to the occurrence more directly, said, She was able to meet the challenge and constantly nourish herself of knowledge. That is what education is about. Pieces of the Challenger have been found all over the Atlantic. News 159 Putting the pieces together During the afternoon, senior Jeff Kahler attends PHS.

Those days of laughter. WW tears, and utter frustration. PHS I f will leave many memories for seniors, and will make many for sophomores and juniors. team we could. We had fun!” Of course, students make Parkland a closer, more personal school. Some students for example, choose to join clubs. Senior Dino Saccani, a three year member of the debate team, said, Debate provided great experience in presenting speeches and arguing controversial topics, which I will someday do for a living (as a lawyer). The spring musical is an event which makes many memories for many students, whether they are aspiring actors or football players looking for some fun. Mrs. Pat Rader, advisor of the play, said, When I gave the guys their taps, they looked like kids at Christmas. They put their taps on and danced all over for about half an hour.” Students add Others participate in band or chorus. Senior Stacey Ulrich, who has been a band member throughout high school, said, “I’ll remember the spirit involved, and the friendships I made. But something that will stick in my mind will be the 'go team' cheer. All in all, I enjoyed myself and will always remember their personal touch to classes as well. Senior Lisa Galante said, “In government class, we brought in crayons and colored Easter bunny pictures. We put them up on Mr. Derricott’s bulletin board. We all received certificates for excellence in bunny coloring.” the fun times we had at the games.” Students also enjoy playing sports.

Most seniors could not wait to graduate, though all agreed they will miss certain aspects of high school life, like friends, teachers, certain classes, and underclassmen. Along with the fun of senior year came the worries of being accepted to college, planning futures in business of a technical skill, and the fear of being “on your own.” Other seniors worried about grades and credits. One senior commented. “I have never studied so much and have done so badly.” Seniors possess many memories of the past three years. They had fun at football and basketball games and in class getting rowdy with friends. Michelle Davies said. “I will never forget the fun I had at basketball games. In ninth grade we used to throw confetti and streamers. One highlight of the year was Homecoming. Everyone watched as Denise Prevosnik and Paul Graff were crowned King and Queen, and as they danced their slow dance together. Homecoming was a precursor of more fun to come. With the coming of Spring, came the dreaded disease Senioritis. Seniors became lazy and unwilling to study and stopped caring about grades. The days just dragged by and classes seemed endless. To relieve the boredom and apathy. Senior Skip Day was May 23, making Memorial Day weekend into a four-day vacation. Almost all senior students skipped, as well as quite a few juniors, except a few who had work to make up. Tom Yankanich said. “I came to school senior skip day because I had a lot of work to make up from when I went to California with Fitness. I had study halls all day because no one wanted to teach one student.” For all. Senior Skip Day was a welcome relief. One event that will stand out in seniors' minds is the Prom. May 10 was a time for celebration and good feelings. The senior year culminated with Commencement June 11 at Muhlenberg. After the graduation exercises, many seniors went to West End Racquet Club for an all-night party. Most seniors finally realized at this time that they were really out of high school forever. Summary 163 Facing 1987 with mixed emotions an you believe we’re I seniors and the year is almost over? Soon it will be time to go onto college. I can't wait. As they walked down the halls, seniors often had similar conversations. Although most seniors were excited about going onto college, for many there were mixed emotions. Many would miss certain teachers, friends, and even classes! Senior Patty Mullikin said. I guess what I’ll miss the most is my friends and of course Economics class. Some seniors looked at this year as basically a relaxing year. Seniors Marc Reiner and Anne Emmerth said, It’s great being a senior. By the time you’re a senior, you’ve already sent out applications and the grades aren’t as important. So. we can finally relax and wait until graduation.” This may not have been true for the seniors who had not yet been accepted at colleges. These students thought their senior year was the hardest ever. There was also a feeling of superiority among seniors. Senior Tricia Falcone commented, One definite advantage of being a senior is the seniority. People pay more attention to you when you’re a senior. Senior Missy Dille said, Even though your classes are easier, it’s hard because you still have to plan ahead for your life. And senior Joy Phillips said. I’m depressed being a senior because it’s the last year of high school, although I am looking forward to college. Seniors at play Mike Gates.

Some students say that a part-time job is fun and is worth their spare time. Additional opinions of this were part-time jobs bring confidence and showmanship in a person’s life. The students become used to working and putting in hours at a job for after gradution training. Senior Randi Pitkoff said. “My part-time job is fun. and I get to meet a lot of new people that I wouldn’t meet at school or socially.’’ Other students think jobs are a start for their future. Senior Cara Llewellyn said about her future. “Working is beneficial because it gives me experience for after grauation, when I’ll go into the business world. New skills are always learned at jobs. Some are learning courtesy, patience, and working a cash register. Senior Lisa Faenza said. “I learned how to be patient with demanding customers and demanding employers at my job. Most students find advantages to a job. but with any job comes its disadvantages. Senior Tracey Brett said, Jobs are beneficial, but the long hours at night working interfere with your homework and studies.” One such disadvantage is the time taken away from outside activities consisting of clubs, organizations, and different sports. Students feel jobs take away time that could be spent at meetings or practices. Another disadvantage is less time to study and less time for oneself. Part-time jobs usually are night time hours and weekends when most students want to go out and enjoy themselves or do homework and study. Some part-time jobs are not always fun. there are some good and bad points. But most students say there are more good features to a part-time job. However usually the advantages of a part-time job outweigh the disadvantages.

Henke Being a New Senior f or anyone, changing | schools is hard. Being the new kid on the block is not easy as one might think. Add to that the fact that you are a senior, changing in your senior year, when you are used to the friends you have, your school, and of course your teachers. Senior Georgios Kirkopoulos did not find it quite as hard as you might think. Georgios transfered from Allen High School. He said. “There is a big difference between schools.” In Parkland, the teachers are harder, but nice. He also said. “The location of the school is nicer, and there is not as much noise and fighting. Georgios had to get used to the parking rules and regulations. It took him three detentions for parking in the teachers’ lot until he finally caught on! Georgios is not the only new student in the Senior Class at PHS. Kristine Krambeck is another one. Kristine has adjusted to Parkland school life easily. Kristine moved from NJ. in February. She is also involved in many school activities such as NHS. German Club, and Student Council. Kris also commented. “That New Seniors Smile New Senior students Kristine Krambeck and Georgios Kirkopoulous pose in their new environment at PHS. Kris and Georgios are two of the many new students this year the atmosphere in PHS is pleasant and very adaptable, people have made it easy for me to get adjusted, especially moving here after the year is almost over.” Kris feels. “The system is easier.

Parties in Venezuela are very different than Parkland parties because Venezuela has no drinking age. Nathalie Chamoreau said. “The school day in America is shorter. In France school lasts from 8 to 5. Twelfth grade in France is college level here.” Teachers in Visitors France are more formal toward their students than in Parkland.

Everyone dreams of what the future holds for them. The senior year seems to represent a point in a student’s life when he she feels the need to make a decision. Some people experience a feeling of relief when a direction for their future has been obtained. For example. Laura Lewis plans to attend Bloomsburg University next fall for elementary education. Bill Rupelli desires to pursue a career in architectural engineering. Lincoln Technical Institute is a goal for Kim Stufflet. who plans a career in computer programming. Joy Phillips was accepted at the Milton S. Hershey Medical Center for Radiology. Some others have more unusual plans. Jake Hammond has given extensive consideration to his future. Before attending college for criminology, he plans to get engaged. Other seniors have decided a general direction, but are unsure of the specifics. Marie Barna is sure that she is attending college, but at this time she is unsure of her major. Eric Muskatell stated that perhaps he will major in public relations. This comment was followed by “It changes every week. Not all seniors feel that a decision about the future is necessary at this time. Bill Falise is not worried about a career decision right away. He states. “I could be out of high school before I even think about college.’’ The reason he stated for not feeling rushed is that. “There are other things I want to do that don’t require a college education. Others seen to be naturally relaxed about thje whole situation. Jeff Meyers feels that an immediate decision is not necessary, because there is “plenty of time to decide-more than enough time. Whether one is in a panic about one’s future plans or far from concerned about the times ahead, one must admit that senior year is just one step closer to the future.

Michelle Davies said, “Going to basketball games with the crowd throwing confetti and streamers is one aspect of high school I will miss.” Tony Campetti agrees. He said. “Competing and playing against other basketball teams was exciting. I’ll miss the fun we had.” Some Seniors will remember belonging to certain clubs as well.

With the retirement of Mr. Ralph Eckensberger. came the new physics teacher. Mr. Jeff Wetherhold. Many students had mixed emotions about a new teacher so late in the year. Some felt adjusting to a new technique of teaching was difficult, while others felt it was a welcome change. Joy Phillips said. “Adjusting was not really difficult because he went slowly so we could digest and understand the information more fully. I have really learned a lot in his class.” Some students also felt they were expected to know concepts they had never learned before. This could be corrected by applying oneself a little harder and by reading the text more thoroughly. Another new face in Parkland was Mrs. Joanne Gerken. who took Mrs. Nancy Carthew’s position in the English department. Many English students felt they were lucky to have such a good teacher in a subject they wanted to explore further or with which they had problems. Senior Holly Mattos commented.

JAOUELINE RIVIELLO: 149 LiT Wolf Sabbaticals 179 EXTRA TOUCHES A Foreign Tongue Studying a language for most people is difficult and when faced with the choice of continuing a foreign language or of dropping it, most students drop it. Many find more than three years of a language too hard, while others just do not have the time to learn new vocabulary and grammatical concepts. Others find that they do not enjoy speaking the language itself or the accent one has to acquire. Other students, however, choose to continue their language for the full four years and may continue in college with another year or a new foriegn language. Wendy Biser, a four-year Spanish student, explained. “I figured I had already put in three years of the language, and I wanted to be able to speak it fluently. It is sometimes frustrating trying to recall what I had learned the past three years and to apply it to this year. Reading literature in another language is difficult, and that’s mainly what we did this year. French student Lisa Petrakovich added. “When you have studied a language for two or three years, there is no point in switching or dropping it. I wish I had more time to spend on French IV. though, it’s hard to fit it in with all my other subjects. This year the program is mostly literature that I have to read and translate, and that is difficult for me.” Andrew Zeitlin has continued through four years of French as well as two years of Latin. Andrew said. “I like the French language, and one day I hope to go to France to speak it. I think you do not really know a language until you use it daily. I took Latin because I had extra study halls and needed a class to fill them.” This year during foreign language week, the Spanish IV. German IV, French IV. and Latin II students met in the cafeteria during first and second periods on March 21 to celebrate. Groups from the classes and Michelle Madtes provided entertainment with songs and commercials in their respective foreign language. Village, OreflekJ SHARON ROSEN 2920 Fairmont St .

Senior Reed Saunders has been training in karate for over four years. Reed practices three to four times a week. “Karate is so much fun, great exercise and also gives you a feeling of discipline, self-confidence. Karate also makes you feel safe when your walking down the street by yourself. Karate has given me a great feeling of wealth about myself. “Training for karate takes a lot of hard work dedication and time. “My experiences with karate and climbing up on the color belts has been fun.” Reed has been training for her black belt for almost two years. “The black belt is the hardest to acquire. Once you get the black belt most people think that that is the highest that you can go. but really there are higher and higher levels of black belt. I plan to keep going with Karate even in college.” Another senior that has time for a somewhat unusual hobbie is Debbie Goldberg. Debbie is an experienced scuba diver. Debbie has been scuba diving for over two years. One of the places that she has dived is in the Red Sea underwater reserve. Debbie took a diving course for ten days which was instructed by professional scuba divers. “During the ten days they had us practice dives and in order to get the certificate for the class we had to pass a written test. “I would encourage anyone to do it. The underwater reserve that we went in didn’t let us take souvenirs with us but it was nice to just go down there and look around.” Some people think that coin collecting is a time consuming and expensive hobby. According to Jonathan Dech it is not. Jonathan has been collecting 19th century coins for over five years. He attends conventions and also local auctions. “Coin collecting is fun. it gives me a chance to meet new people and to learn how the money in that time was made and used.” EXTRA TOUCHES Scenic St. Allentown MARK SiNCi AIR: RO 1 Box 485.

The game was organized and coached by Carl Schmoyer. Geoff Spitko, and Scott Burkhard. Junior Bob Mack did a spectacular job as commentator. The all-male team consisted of Tom Yankanich. Pete Tucker. Bob Posocco. Jim Brennan. Tim Cummins. Dave Snyder. Jeff Miller. Art Frye. Jim Potkonicky. Tom Briggs. Jake Hammond. Shawn Liberty, and Hamilton Nichols. The high point of the game was Miller’s hook shot, while Potkonicky and Snyder played a consistent game for the seniors. Mr. Tony Marsicano made the most points for the faculty. Now the good news: The senior softball team squeaked by with a win over the faculty with a score of 21-20. The senior team consisted of Tom Yankanich, Pete Tucker. Art Frye. Jeff Miller. Scott Bacon. Hamilton Nichols. Jim Potkonicky. Ted Green. Geoff Spitko. Scott Burkhardt. Bob Posocco. Missy Dille. Sarah Kreithen. Cheryl Murphy. Carl Schmoyer. and Steve Morehouse. The senior team’s highest scorers were Pete Tucker. Art Frye. Scott Burkhardt. Ted Green, and Bob Posocco. Mr. Ritter, in his first plate appearance, belted a home run to deep center field, while Mr. Arbogast kept chasing long fly balls all over the field Then Art Frye, having broken his nose shortly before the game, dove after a fly ball and slid face first into third base, while Mr. Derricott ran over Steve Morehouse at first base. The seniors overcame a two-run deficit in the last inning to claim the victory when Art Frye knocked in Pete Tucker for the winning run. Tom Yankanich said. “Even throughout the toughest innings and plays, the rivalry between the seniors and faculty was friendly. There was a lot of joking around, and it was all taken in fun.

Being known as a junior was more exciting to people, instead of being known as the baby” of the school. Many students await the junior year for various reasons. Sue Schaffer said, Just think, I only have one more year left of school. Tammie Clarke voiced a similar idea, It is closer to going onto college. This may have been the most popular reason that students long for their junior year. Graduation is not the only thing on students’ minds. Junior Shari Brown stated. I was looking forward to seeing all of my friends again after summer vacation. Kim Hafer said. You’re in the middle, the worries of being picked on for being a sophomore are over; but yet, you’re still not the eldest in the school. This is the year to reform old study habits, and impress colleges with wonderful grades. Yet. this time could also be a junior's downfall because of the workload. Keith Lictenwalner commented, This is the year I’m trying to go about in a positive way, like improving my grades, while one junior added. I was not looking forward to this year. I knew the classes would be harder and I would have to study more. Cat-Astrophe Junior Becky Myers is learning about mammals during the dissection of a cat in Anatomy Physiology.

They have every thing that anyone could ever imagine. ‘‘I got my ring from the school because it was cheaper then the jewelers, and I also wanted something so I could remember Parkland and my extra curricular activities, said Tracey Maurer. Cost is something to consider when going to purchase a ring. A jeweler is up to 20 dollars more expensive. There are different reasons for ordering a class ring. Tracey Newcomer states, I got my ring because it will bring back memories of my high school years. Lisa Nush added, My ring will remind me of my best times at high school. A class ring is a good way to remember those old Parkland High school days. Gem scan Debbie Hollinger. a junior, sits showing her little friend her class ring.

Well, If you are a student at Parkland, you will know after your junior year in health class. Mrs. Louise Haines, one of the health teachers, said. “Health is beneficial in any kind of first aid care. Students learn the facts about helping people, not only the myths. Then they can base their decision on the facts instead of the myths.” Lisa Ritz stated. “I think it helps students learn more about themselves and also about first aid.” Judy Oravec added. “It is a class to help us understand ourselves better and it helps us learn how to solve problems wisely.” Personal notes ‘‘Health class is worthwhile and interesting even though some of the topics are repetious since we learned about them when we were in Junior High School.’ Loreen Wolfer Other students have different perspectives on the class. They feel that they could do without it, but feel it is beneficial in special situations. Denyse Miller said, “I don’t think it benefits in most cases, but it could help in those little home tragedies.” Holly Ritz added, “Health class is good for teaching students how to help others when in need. But at times it is stupid and boring.” But no matter how boring health class can be. there is always something new for students to learn. Wrapping it up Kevin Spa no is practicing how to bandage wounds on Joey Stoudt during a health class Health 191 Take the Bus he monstrous yellow and black machine moves closer and closer. You look around for a place to hide, but there is no way to avoid the dreaded school bus. Many students feel that riding the bus should be avoided at all costs. So, excuses such as. “the alarm clock didn’t work,” or “I have too many things to carry” come next, in the hope that parents will drive their offspring to school. Usually, though, the parents exclaim “I had to walk 5 miles every day to school, in any type of weather and with 10 pounds of books.” Kirstin Conrad comments, “I think taking the bus is the worst part of the day. I’m the first one on and I feel like I’ve been there forever.” Students become divided: Those that must take the bus and those that don’t. Many students must endure the painful realization that they are destined to ride the bus throughout their high school years, but January of every year begins the new breed of sixteen-year-old drivers. All of a sudden school isn’t so bad anymore . Instead of arriving at school in an overcrowded vehicle, with poor ventilation, little leg room and no music, the school day begins with people of your own choice, the window rolled down and the radio blasting. Although, the best reason for driving is “You can leave any time you want to.” said one Junior. Year after year, the fact remains the same—there is a certain “blah” to taking the bus. and a “wow” to driving a car. The yellow cab Junior. Brian Gantert and sophomore. Jeff Gauger, question whether they really want off the bus.

The dreadful morning blues hit everyone around 6 a.m. No one is very enthusiastic about getting out of bed to come to school. Many were out late the night before and are not awake for their classes. Leah Clark said, I hate mornings, because I’m never awake and that’s when most of my hardest classes are.” Jodie Frantz stated, “The mornings would be much better if school would start later.” Jodie isn’t the only one who wishes school would start later than 7:57 a.m. Many students hope maybe one day that they will not have to get up at 6:00 a.m. to get ready for school. But, think of it this way. if we started late, we would have to stay later, and no one would enjoy that. Another thing which affects the morning blues is the nice weather. When you wake up with the sun shining through your window . you hope that maybe you’ll stay home and just lie in the sun. As Debbie Sherwood said. “When it is nice out, you know that you could be doing something better than going to school.” Wake Up Bob Mack. Todd Miller. Randy Baer.

I loved pushing friends off the pool ropes and watching them scurry to the side.” Wild Water Kingdom had different effects on different people, but it brought out the little bit of California in all of us.

Darren Wargo said. “I was confused and frustrated because the stairs took me to places where I did not want to be.” “It was strange and confusing because it was bigger than Troxell. said Paul Cincilla. Others tried to be cool and sophisticated and found a solution to this dilemma. Glenn Lambert said. “The first day of school was all right because a Senior friend of mine showed me around.” Sophomores agreed that Parkland High School was a definite change in their lives. Debbie Daskivich summed it up by saying. ‘‘I was nervous because I was entering a new school.” But Alyson Orphamdes said. “I couldn’t wait for the new school year, I wanted to see all my friends.” Taking a break Sophomores Abby Banzhof.

Sophomores will find this out when they prepare for a special event—their sixteenth birthday. Many of Parkland’s sophomores were excited at the thought of becoming sixteen. Sue Helfrich said. Pm one step closer to my Lamborghini. Others look forward to the pleasures of being a year older. Beth Ernst said. I will get more freedom to do the things that I could not do before. Leslie Campos said. I will be driving and my parents will leave me alone to figure out questions I may have about life. Pam Camp summed it up by saying. Turning sixteen means more privileges and responsibly. Although driving is important to the sixteen-year-old sophomores, their main goal is to have fun. Meanwhile, some students make the quest for a traditional sweet sixteen birthday party. I am looking forward to a major bash and a car.” said Traci Seng. Becoming sixteen may not mean an enormous celebration with lots of special gifts for everyone, but it will surely be remembered as a milestone in each student’s life.

Tenth grade biology. Biology is the first individual science that students take. In elementary and junior high, all types of sciences were combined into one class. In Biology, the students learn about the anatomy of different animals through dissections. A lot of sophomores like biology much better than last year’s general science. Robin Vesovich said, “This year is a lot better because the dissections and lab experiments make it more interesting. “Biology is better because last year was mostly physical science such as chemistry. added Maria Levkulic. Heidi Schneck said. I like the class better than last year because you really do something. She enjoys the dissections, just as long as she does not have to touch the animal. These students also learn about certian classes and orders of the animal kingdom. They begin at the single-celled organisms and work their way up to the complex vertebrates. The course entails hard work and study which many students do not appreciate, but they generally think that it is worth the work in the long run. Biology Blues Kathy Domrzalski and Ann Yezerski are working diligently during Mr Ashenfalder biology class Personal Notes “Biology is more of a challenge. The most disgusting thing was dissecting the perch.

Suddenly, there is a sound. Could it be a ... giggle? The teacher looks around nervously for the culprit. Eyes look, and find a book standing upright on a desk with a red face hiding behind it. What exactly causes this outburst of emotion? Some students claim that it is “The teacher’s remarks, and the student's attitude towards the class.” One student said. “In Biology my friends and I always laugh, and the teacher gets mad.” Individual laughter, though, is not the answer to speeding up a seemingly endless class. Heidi Schneck said. “When the whole class laughs it makes the period go quicker.” There are also those times when an innocent classmate raises his hand to answer a question. One student said. “When a classmate replies to a question, and the answer is totally ridiculous. I can’t help but giggle.” When the period is over and all is learned and accomplished, it is the giggling of the class that can make an atmosphere of intense study more enjoyable to every sophomore.

To get this delicious delicacy, many students go to their favorite ice-cream shops. Alyson Orphanides said. “I like to get plain vanilla ice-cream at Jan’s in New York City.” Cathy Cummins said. “Friendly’s has good ice-cream. I like vanilla chocolate chip.” Some do not have to travel to get pure enjoyment. Nancy Viglione said. “I like coffee icecream because it's plain, but different. I eat the all-natural Breyers.” Other students like to eat their ice-cream with the works. Laurie Katz said. “Strawberry cheese cake ice-cream with real strawberries and whipped cream is the best.” While many sophomores prefer plain ice-cream, there is a style for everyone. Several types try to tantalize the tastebuds by imitating flavors of common desserts. There is blueberry pie. cherry cheese cake, and even chocolate peanut butter cup. But Heather Dwinal said. “I like lemon meringue pie ice-cream because it has real pie pieces jn it.” Umm-Umm good Sophomore Sue Makovsky enjoys one type of a variety of delicious sundaes that can be acquired at the many ice-cream shops of the Lehigh Valley.

More teachers were needed at the high school due to the high enrollment. While at the same time, the junior highs were experiencing low enrollment and fewer teachers were needed. The district moved the teachers at the junior high to the high school. Four new teachers came from Springhouse Junior High School. They are Mr Charles Merlo. Mr. Danny Waelchi. Mr. Richard Fatzinger, and Mrs. Pam Stiles. Mrs. Stiles was previously a ninth grade English teacher. When a guidance position opened here in the spring, she was accepted as the guidance counselor for students A through G. Mrs. Stiles said. I love my job! I really enjoy counseling the older students.

Math Strolling down f tudents often find themselves hearing the all too familiar story of, “When I was your age; I had to walk ten miles to school everyday.” In reality, it was only a block or two. When most teachers attended high school in the late 60’s and early 70's, they did have to walk to the movies, school dances and other activities. A lot of teens went to the local youth centers, to socialize with their friends. Most schools enforced strict dress codes. For example, jeans, t-shirts, and short skirts were banned. But most people dressed with the memory lane times and wore what was “in. Some individuals attended peace demonstrations, while others attended parties and bowled. Mr. Duane Ashenfalder remembers. “I went to Nazareth High School and we used to have parties in our parents’ cabins in the woods.” All teachers agree, the emphasis was not on what someone wore but on the person themselves. There were cliques, but there was not a class labeling system. Cooks: Row 1: Gerry Galanti. Do! Frankenfield. Betty Ann Lipko, Linda Kranch. Janet Eck. Gloria Grimm.

She has helped many students with their reports in 32 years A unique talent Mr. Antonik has a flair for creating interesting and exciting classes and will be greatly missed. Good bye and best of wishes etirement is a time for a new outlook on life. Things will change and decisions must be made. When people consider the total of about 197 years of service put in by the six teachers who retired this year, they must all wonder if they will have the dedication these teachers had. Mr. Ralph Dorney and Mrs. Marion Saul, with 32 years each, feel many friendships were gained. Mrs. Saul said. lt’s literally true my service was a labor of love. It’s taken me 38 years to get used to the system. Mr. Alfred Reimschissel said. Art teacher. Mr John Antonik is not sure of his future plans but says. I’m looking forward to it! He has dedicated 26 years to our high school. Mr. Ralph Eckensberger has 32 years of relaxation coming to him after his challenging Physics courses. 38 years is a long time but worth it! The (business) department won’t be different - I just won’t be here. Mr. Ralph Seltzer said. Faculty members agree with Superintendent Carmen Riola. They’re all treasures and will be greatly missed.

Physics Telling some amazing stories Sitting in the upper library, students hear a loud crash and the flutter of papers as Mr. Randy Claroni drops all of his books to the floor. Embarassed by it. he exclaims “What a terrible tragedy!” Everyone makes mistakes, including teachers. Sometimes it’s accidental or just plain clumsiness. But it’s those mistakes that make teachers memorable. Other times it is just a habit that a teacher develops throughout the school year. For example, the way a teacher answers the phone or even the way he responds to students. Sabina Ashmar remembered. “Mr. Miksits answers my questions by asking 'What is your major maladjustment?’” Mr. Robert Greacen recalls some unusual incidents. He said. ”1 was giving a history lecture to my one class. It was first period; of course everyone was half asleep, and I heard this big clump. When I turned around. I saw this kid lying on the floor. I didn’t know if he fell asleep because I bored him or if he was dead!” Don Steele Bruce Stevenson Pamela Stiles Joyce Stone Richard Thompson John Toggas Janice VanHorn Danny Waelchli Jeffrey Wetherhold Principal's secretary: Joanne Hartrantt Good ole caf duty Certain that he will never forget some of the memorable lunch perotds, Mr Bowers takes a breather from lunch duty. Faculty 215 Fine cuisine At the Senior Citizens Banquet sponsored by the Student Council, many enjoyed their meal. Here, sophomore Patty Bostick serves one of the guests. The library elves strike again Former employees of Parkland School District, Esther Murphy and Isabel Ruch shelve books in the upper library. The volunteers came into the library every day in August to prepare for the new security system. 1 r- 216 Advertisements communityadvertisementsindexcommunityadvertisements (2 WWxCt II and all, Parkland has a special ] touch. The community,although r’T not inside the four walls, is as 1 much a part of Parkland as the academics. The community provides us with various concepts. A student who is involved outside of school can learn many different views. Student volunteers provide a service to many who otherwise might not be able to afford. While helping others, some may benefit through the knowledge gained. Senior Sue Moyer volunteered at Parkland Community Library. She said, ‘‘I will keep volunteering even while I'm at college. I enjoy it, it’s fun. I like helping people and serving the community. Junior Danelle Bacon volunteered her time at Luther Crest Retirement Village. She learned from many valuable experiences. She said, “I helped to plan meals and gave them fresh water, but basically I was just a friend to talk to. I volunteered partly to fill up time, but I really liked doing it. Not only does Parkland serve the community, but the local businesses also aid the school district. Many sponsor athletic events. Others loan objects to be used for plays or in the class room. Krause Dodge let Parkland use their cars for behind-the-wheel training, for example. This kind of service helps the companies advertise. Ads can be found in the “Trumpet” and also Par Key.” Par Key provides low cost advertising to area businesses. Companies use this space as an opportunity to reach the public. Not only do students read a yearbook, but also their parents and friends. The community helps us as much as we help them. Business not only provides a place for people to spend money, it also creates jobs for students to earn money. In this way, The Personal Touch is felt by many. Inside touches L indexcommunityadvertisementsindexcommunityadver tisen J Ithough readers don't At realize it, the ads are the I heart of the yearbook. Businesses add their personal touch to our yearbook by taking out ads to promote their businesses as well as to help our yearbook. Each year the ad staff brings in at least three thousand dollars from businesses in the Lehigh Valley. Most of the ads come from businesses in the Parkland area. Also, large Allentown businesses contribute to the yearbook, such as Air Products. Mack Truck and Alpo to name a few. Alpo has supported the Par Key for over ten years. A spokesman for Alpo said, “We take out ads for our own personal promotion and also to support our neighboring school.” Another contributor is Perkins. They said, “The reason we take out ads in the yearbook is because one of our Perkins is in the Parkland school district.” Many students go to Perkins before school for breakfast and even late nights after football and basketball games for a snack before heading home. Businesses “ad” a great deal Earning tome extra money Senior Troy Studenich earns some extra Many Parkland students work after school and spending money working in the kitchen at the on weekends Some choose to save their Parkland Restaurant. money, while others choose to go shopping. cut dtxL±± df entah, One. -Luxury -Limouiinsi John M.
