December of 1986 saw a few of the Class of ‘88 brave the mission to check out the Big Apple with Mr. Charles MacLaugh- lin. Most of the students were assigned buses by grade, so bus 3 was all ours. The mission was to cause more damage and frustration for New York and the teachers than the previous year. We had veterans from the previous year who knew many inside secrets. These were taught to the rookies. The bus ride was long. Music varied from Wiz’s Beastie Boys to Fabio and Mayo’s Led Zep. The main choice of the crowd was Animal House though. Plans were made to sneak from room to room and crash into a girl boy friend’s room. One brief memorable moment occurred when a toga party began. The enemy swiftly arrived to halt the festivities. The gladiators, however, were proud of their short adventure. The first night in the hotel was a mess. Not many slept. Some collected a Charlie Brown Xmas tree. The entire night the corridors were monitored by the enemy. Couples quickly formed from the second we entered the bus. The second night most caught up on the sleep they missed. While travelling through Times Square, Mr. Mac had us all note the intricate pattern of the bus floor tiles. On the trip we visited the Statue of Liberty, Empire State Building, Museum of Natural Science, and saw the Nets Seventy-Sixer basketball game, a successful mission.

A voice boomed over the P.A.; it was the Vanilla Gorilla, slightly better known as Mr. Arthur Mosher. He challenged the mem- bers of the baseball team to take on the faculty in a war on the baseball diamond. The Vanilla Gorillas were tamed by a handful of the Presidents baseball team. The teachers graciously allowed the students» to begin the inning. First at bat was Dan Biagini then Rob Buttomer, Wayne Chambers, Nick Dragone, and Greg Chambers. Rob made the score 1 to 0 after Wayne’s double sent him home. Next the gorillas were up at bat. Louis Venturelli had a double. Mr. Sean Mulready grounded out and Mr. Mosher had a double that scored Mr. Ven- turelli. The score was tied one to one, but it didn't remain in a tie for long. By the fourth inning the score was 8 to 1 in favor of the students. Adding to the defeat of the teachers were homeruns by Frank Calabro, and Greg Chambers and some nice catches by Sean Thompson, Wayne Chambers, Dan Biagini, Sean Burke and Jim Dennis. Although the score was lopsided, the faculty made some outstanding plays. Mr. Robert Uhlar had some nice hits and Mr. Louis loanilli, proved that he could catch more than skipping students. There was good fielding from Mr. Paul McShane and Mr. Venturelli. Mr. Mosher pitched well. Al- though a good time was had by all, maybe the teachers should stick to the classroom and let the students rule the field. Sean Thompson watches a close play at second base while Wayne Chambers congratulates Dan Biagini during the third inning This was the beginning of a long afternoon for the teachers as the student baseball team continued to increase its lead over the Vanilla Gorillas By virtue of his organization of the student foculty baseball game the teachers honored Mr Arthur Mosher by having him pitch the entire gome The baseball teom was impressed by his ability to get the boll over the plate, and enjoyed being able to whack the ball in his direction.
