Without his devoted efforts, our high school might have gone the way of the many institutions which floundered during these uncertain times, and the memories in this book might never have happened. In this Bicentennial year, we celebrate the rich heritage of our nation. At the same time, let us cele- brate the heritage of our faith, a heritage enriched in our personal lives by the leadership of Father Yagley. 9 Administration Carries a Heavy Load The tasks of the Administration are often tedious, constantly demanding and seldom rewarding. Through it all. Sister Rose Margaret and Mr. O’Donnell face each day with enthusiasm and dedication. With the able help of Sister Clare Charles, Mrs. McGuire and Sister Norita Marie, they keep the school running smoothly and efficiently, while maintaining a Christian atmosphere. Sister Rose Margaret and Mr. O’Donnell, despite their busy schedule, always find time to attend sports events and lend advice or assistance to every project. Sister Norita Marie keeps attendance records straight no matter how many tardy slips are missing. Our dedicated secretary, Mrs. McGuire, faithfully keeps records, files, and schedules organized. It is a well organized team that successfully manages our school. 12 Below: Mrs. McGuire and Sister Rose Margaret discuss the sched- uling for the next day.

IB May We Help You? May We Help You, are the words we associate with Sr. Willard, Mrs. Reagan and Mrs. Rumor. I’m sure you’ve, at one time, gone to Sr. Willard or Mrs. Reagan for help with your class records or a class you’ve wanted to change. Seniors find Sr. Willard and Mrs. Reagan playing an even more important part, helping them plan their future. All of us have had a last minute report we didn’t complete so we ran to the library for some help and we found Mrs. Rumor standing there eager to help with any project. 14 Left: Mrs. Kumor fills out a Library pass.

Above: Mr. Rashid gives one of his interesting lectures to his class. Right: Father Oleszewski reviews with his class for a test. “When I was a child, I spoke as a child” and I peered at life through the windows of innocence and openness to all things new. Without the ability to articulate the realiza- tion, Life was the ultimate experience of beauty and joy. As I began to experience the world around me, I slowly realized that the love and security which pervaded the warmth of my home wasn’t present in the new situations I encountered. Grade school days introduced me to disciplined learn- ing and I studied my Reading and Math. As I grow now from childhood to young adulthood, I begin to ask why. Life soon came face to face with reality. I soon dis- covered that questioning the meaning of Life is as much a part of living as breathing, laughing and crying. It is in my Religion class that the seeds of wonder were planted and nourished, giving birth to the truths I know will guide me through my adult life. If asked, perhaps the most important realization I have come to is the fact that the mysteries of Life cannot be untangled with only the tools of human knowledge and experience. I can see that the Religion Department has made the effort to bring me face to face with my Lord. I am ready now to anticipate the world with an open mind, open hands, open heart. The only difference is that my work will be His work, my thoughts will be His thoughts, my love will permeate the world with warmth. ) 17 Reading Writing and American Lit 18 The hard work and effort exerted by the students in past chocolate drives has finally paid off in the form of a reading laboratory here at St. Alphonsus. The reading lab is furnished with equipment such as the Guided Reader, Tach-x, tape recorders, and even word games such as “Spill and Spell”. This equipment attempts to guide the students through a semester of increased reading speed and im- proved skills. Another new addition to the department is Literature of the Screen, which is a welcome and innovative addition to the English program. Literature, after all, isn’t limited to the printed word. Along with these new courses, the old favorites such as American Literature, Creative Writing, Research Paper and Com- position provide St. Alphonsus students with variety, interest and knowledge.

Morning, noon, and night! Be- cause the future may bring anything from 8.98 x 107 electrons to !4 cup flour, the numerical sciences are an in- tegral part of the students’ curriculum. Set Theory Algebra challenges wide-eyed Freshmen, Sophomore minds spin over circles, Juniors battle with a more advanced theory grind, and slide rules identify Senior scholars. What good is math anyway? Is all this studying for nothing? Mathematics opens the doors to many top-ranking jobs, but more fundamentally it trains the mind to THINK. The new emphasis on mathematics results from the increasing need for scientists and mathematicians. To meet this need is the purpose of the many “new math” programs in use. The math department answers this need by giving students a broad base of Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, and Calculus to prepare them for the requirements of col- lege and beyond. It also supplies the always-important re- quirements of the businessman and housewife. Above: Knowing an answer is a great thrill for Enzo Mastroianni.

In Ecology, the students study the environment and apply their increased knowledge to their daily lives. One of the highlights of the class was the field trip to the Henry Ford Wild Life Preserve. Physiology demonstrates the phenomema of life through the study of tissues and the functions of the body. The structure of the human body is the theme for Ana- tomy. The Chemistry student learns to apply scientific law. He measures, observes, speculates, and concludes. In Biology, the students do various labs, for example, sci- entific measurements, qualitive observations and dissec- tions of different species. Although the students find the classes hard, they enjoy the fascination of discovery. Above: Cathy Shaw examines a slide of pond water in Biology lab.

We study the past, live the present, and dream the future. During Freshman year the past is emphasized when Mrs. McCar- roll and Mr. Kwasny make voyages, conquests and ancient battles clear and tangible. Next we move up in time with Mr. O’Donnell when he introduces us to the famous presidents and the Con- trasting Decades of the thirties and forties. In honor of our Bicentennial two new courses, Modem American and Bicentennial History, have been added to the ever growing History curriculum. These courses help to put us in the “Spirit of ’76”. Government, Constitutional Law, Current Issues, Economics and Criminology are made easier Senior year by the open-minded Mr. Schlaff and the law-orientated Mr. Sekerak. These courses help round off the History curriculum and prepare us for our future as voting Ameri- can citizens. 24 Left: Mr. Schlaff gives some last minute instructions on the assignment to Jane Shruga.

Right: Oliver Fragoso and Ken Lepczynski get a bit of advice from Miss Kuzdzal. 26 Students Find Enjoyment Through Language The first year language students are getting in- volved in the creation of sentences and the con- jugation of verbs through the skills of our French teachers, Mr. Headley, and our new faculty mem- ber, Miss Kantzler. Miss Kuzdzal teaches Spanish, and Sister Marie Harold has the Latin classes. In second year Latin, students are introduced to the life of a Roman family, while the French class puts on plays or gives reports on the French people, often in French. The Spanish students hear tapes and learn to converse in their new language. All in all, the language program here at St. Alphonsus helps the students understand and con- verse in other languages, and gain an insight into how other nations live. 27 Getting Down to Business To master the skills of the business world continuous practice is needed, so Sister Clare Charles, Mrs. Duelo and Mr. Vanderwill keep all of their students busy. Often one can hear these teachers stressing to students the im- portance of the business courses for future success. Sister Clare Charles teaches the girls how important it is to be a good secretary by teach- ing them all the basic skills of Typing and Shorthand. Mrs. Duelo teaches Typing and Record Keeping, which open the door to many new careers for her students. The students ex- ploring the fascinating field of numbers in Ac- counting learn to keep up with the economy through the instructions of Mr. Vanderwill. With the help of these three teachers, the futures of St. Alphonsus business students look promising. Above: Darla James calculates complicated statistics in Accounting.

Her husband, Mr. Jack Wolak, is the director of the Band. Mrs. Wolak’s class delves into all aspects of singing and performing to create some very beautiful performances. St. Alphonsus is very lucky to have such a talented, well trained group under the direction of Mrs. Wolak. Above: Because they are interested in what they are doing, the Choral puts spirit into a Mass. Top Right: llcne Tanghetti and Laura Voltattorni have decided to take a short break while practicing for the Christmas program.

You haven’t lived ’till you’ve marched in a band, Through rain or through snow, over mud or quicksand, You just don’t know the feeling of that twinge of remorse, When you know you’ll be marching behind a Police horse. You don’t know what it’s like to get up at dawn, For a last-minute taping, to record with a yawn. You practice and practice To get the songs right— “If we don’t do it well, then we’ll play through the night.” But we all stick together We all act as one, If we couldn’t do it It just couldn’t be done. In the rehearsal of life We all have been beckoned— To be Band members first And HUMANS just second!

A traditional part of school life at St. Alphonsus has been the Gym Program. Its three staff members, Mr. Patrick O’Hara, Mr. John Verdura and Mrs. Karen Zub, all play an important role in the development of skills among their students. The teachers found a familiar spirit among the participants of the program as all put their heart and soul into each and every class. Besides being fun, the classes offer a good conditioning program. No matter how tough the class seems in the begin- ning, the spirit of competition leaves everyone with a better understanding of his or her capabilities. Through these pro- grams, we see results. Remember, at St. Alphonsus, the student body keeps fit. Top: Mrs. Karen Zub thinks before she begins the next exercise. Right Center: How many more, groan the students as Mr. O’Hara makes sure they do the exercises right the first time. Right: It appears that giving directions comes naturally to Mr. Verdura. Above: Mr. O’Hara takes attendance carefully before each class. 32 The newest addition to the fine arts pro- gram this year was the creation of an art course directed by Mrs. Catherine Nesbitt. Previously, the only art course offered was a Freshman elective for one quarter. Mrs. Nes- bitt is not a newcomer to St. Alphonsus; she has been Art Instructor in the grade school. The high school students appeared as a new challenge. Her aim was to have the students improve upon their skills in shape, form, design, tex- ture and the different uses of mediums to ex- press their ideas. Many students have excelled this year and the whole student body is proud of them. Art work displayed around the school has pleased all who entered. Judging by the beautiful work which was produced, we are proud to have Mrs. Nesbitt! Top Left: Randy Nowicki is creating an unusual design. Top Right: Mrs. Nesbitt listens to the suggestions of her students. Center: Beth Ann M atras and Julie Bernier listen to Mrs. Nesbitt’s ideas on creative art work.

Above: Concentration is the key word in Julie Bernier and Dave Becker’s minds. 33 St. Alphonsus holds something special for each of its students. It realizes that each is unique, with different needs and interests. Whether a person is in- terested in clothing, foods and nutrition, interior de- sign, or child development, Mrs. Maynard is an expert on the issue. Because of her, we have many things to be thankful for. This year, we have two additional Home Eco- nomics classes. Child Development and Interior Design. Child Development gives the student a better realiza- tion of the child growing up and how to handle dif- ferent situations that may arise within family life. Stu- dents worked in nursery schools every week to observe the growing child first hand. In Interior Design, the students are able to develop their own personal skills, whether in art or Home Economics, in planning the kind of environment best suited for them. An old favorite. Dynamic Living, gives the Fresh- men a glimpse into the life of the homemaker. It in- volves such skills as sewing, baking and crafts, and even holds bread baking contests.

Homecoming — a riot of spirit, a display of beauty, a dance and a game to remember. The week before Homecoming, each class diligently worked on its floats. Here the effort of each class was clearly evident, especially that of the Juniors, who walked away with the win- ning trophy. The wary Freshmen wondered if their first attempt at float-making would be strong enough to take the wind and wobble to the field. Their efforts were highly successful. At the dance the entrance of Queen Angie and her Court highlighted the evening. The traditional coronation of our resplendent Queen by Father Demmer climaxed the wonder of the dance. Following the coronation, Queen Angie knelt before Our Lady, offering prayer and bouquet in thanksgiving for the success of the Homecoming game and parade. As the end of the evening drew near, a last glance around assured everyone that they had enjoyed an exciting “Evening In Paris”. 40 Left: Ann Kosztowny and Paul Gregor hurry to the dance.

Ring Day Promotes Class Spirit There comes a time in the life of a Senior when the discovery of pride in oneself comes into being. Out of all the events that take place during Senior year, the one event that gives Seniors pride in themselves is Ring Day. With much dignity, the Seniors made their first appearance in cap and gown. Walking down the aisle, gave the Seniors the feeling of pride knowing that they are the ones that are the leaders of the school. During the four years together at St. Alphonsus, the Senior class has drawn together to become one united group. They proved it on Ring Day. There was unity in the participation in the Mass, unity in receiving the Eucharist, unity in the blessing of the class rings, and the definite unity of friendship among the members of the Senior Class. 42 Left: Marion Machuta and Mary Ann Urda enjoy the food the Sophomores are serving.

Powder Puff is a tradition at St. APs. It means that once a year, all of the lunch table talk—for the girls anyway—turns to memorizing plays. “Now, 35 means that Ann passes to Darla.” Powder Puff means that all of the girls go off to Hemlock after school, with high spirits and a football tucked under each arm. It means that the regular football players, just finished with their own season, return to the gridiron as spectators. It means finally, that the Senior-Junior girls captured the championship by a SLIM 8-0 edge. For many people, Powder Puff will always be just a swab of cotton, but at St. APs it will speak of a “helpless”, mud-splattered girl in a three-point stance on the gridiron.

Everyone worked together putting forth his best efforts. Each class raised money in the homerooms through dares, worked on booths, and last but not least celebrated our success at the Mardi Gras Dance. This year we had a special attraction, Gary Gapa’s band, “Deuce”, which added something different to the evening. It was hard work put forth, but we accomplished a stronger sense of unity among our classmates and teachers. Because of our united efforts and interests, we raised enough money to make this Mardi Gras the most successful yet. It is certain that this day will be memorable as we edge our way toward another year’s end. Above: Roger Wurstcr escorts Sue Barman at the Mardi Gras Dance.

Their responsibilities range from organizing extra-curricular activities to accommodating the needs of the school. These students are leaders who are living examples of their motto: “Do not go where the path may lead, go where there is no path and leave a trail.” One responsibility of the Council is to represent the students at meetings with the Principal, Sister Rose Margaret. As one member said, “She always tries to understand us, our needs and our problems.” Mr. Schlaff has been outstanding as the moderator, always ready to answer requests for help.

This was the Debate topic for the 1975 season. It was up to the team of 29 Novice and 8 Varsity debators to obtain evidence that proved and disapproved this topic. They worked under the watchful eye of Miss Goliber who guided them and helped them to understand what they were looking for and what they found, during their long hours of research. All in all it was a season of success, learning and growing for all. The Novices were very successful. The Varsity team may have been small, but they made it to the State Finals held in Central Michigan. Above: Miss Goliber explains research procedure to her Debate Class. Above Right: Marty Klein wraps up his argument. Above Center: Mary Ellen Becker practices one of her humorous stories. Above Far Right: Vivian Sechrist looks over her dramatic reading.

Right: The Affirmative Argument is prepared by Dave Masson and Julie Kopitzki. 52 Forensics: Growing Speaking before a group is not very easy. To do Dramatic Interpretations, Radio News, Story Telling, Humorous Readings, Extemporaneous Speaking and Oratories sounds impossible. The Forensics students not only proved it wasn’t impossible, but that it could be done with a great amount of flair and success. The class consisted of about thirty enterprising people, a majority of whom were Freshmen, and one dedicated coach. Miss Roberta Lang. The students practiced again and again, sometimes becoming very frustrated with themselves and the pieces they had chosen, but never quitting. They strived for what they felt was perfection. They did this with spirit, and they did it together. 53 Cheerleaders Bring Fans to Life Varsity Squad. First Row: Constance Albulov. Second Row: Kim Rosbury, Karen Reardon, Susan Grenn.

Whenever our team was behind and the crowd was quiet, the cheerleaders were always there to bring the fans back to life. Many long hard hours were put into prac- tice which resulted in boundless school spirit and energy. Cheerleaders were responsible for putting together pep rallies, planning many Homecoming activities, and promoting school spirit and support for our team away from home. Even though the games sometimes seemed endless, the cheerleaders had a fun, exciting season.

The St. Alphonsus chapter of N.H.S. more than fulfills these criteria. Students with high academic achievement and ex- emplary character and service are elected to the N.H.S. each year. They take a pledge to uphold these ideals in a formal ceremony which marks their induction into the organization. The N.H.S. strives toward developing future lead- ers, leaders of integrity, honesty and intelligence. As John F. Kennedy said, “Of those to whom much is given, much is required.” The N.H.S. gives our young leaders the opportunity to develop into strong men and women who put these high ideals into practice. School Gets 'Face Lift’ From Beautiful People This year proved to be very exciting and fun-filled for the School Beautiful Club. Not only did the group sponsor the Annual Christmas Door Decorating contest, but also bake sales, all around school cleanliness, and a new attraction which came to St. Alphonsus, the first annual St. Patrick’s Day Green Carnation Sale. With the help of Moderator Mr. David Sekerek, the club hopes to make next year’s activities even better. Also, with the money they have raised over the years they plan to purchase a flag bearing the school crest. 58 Laughter Rings in Any Language Left: School Beautiful officers are awarded a special citation from the City of Dearborn.

Students at St. Alphonsus High did not have to rely on travel agencies to learn the ways of foreign lands. Under the direction of Miss Kantzler, Miss Kuz- dzal, and Mr. Headley, the International Club worked to gain a better understanding of all the people in the world. This year, the International Club has surfaced as one of the most interesting, educational and fun groups at St. Al’s. 59 Students Demonstrate Concern A spirit of self sacrifice is present in the ACTS (Arrows’ Community Teen Service), and the Mission Club. Each member gets involved in worthwhile experiences, whether it’s visiting the nursing homes or raising money to send to missions and charities. Giving of yourself and giving your time are the most important part of belonging to these organizations. The spirit of giving is so prominent in the members that they set an example for the rest of the school, leading it in the fight against selfishness. 60 Left: Maryann Wiewiora volunteers to work on a project.

At the end of 7th hour we will have a pep rally . . . Bus tickets will be on sale for Friday’s game . . . Cheer louder if you want to win the pep jug.” This is all characteristic of the enthusiasm that the Pep Club stirs before and during each game. This year, one of the major events was the Donkey basketball game between the Varsity club and the faculty. It was a tough game, but the Varsity club came out on top. The game supported the Pep Club’s efforts to bring cheering fans to away games. On top of that, it was great fun! Above: Paul Bernier awaits the ball. Above Right: It must have been a rough game!

It is comprised of athletically inclined girls who put much hard work and dedication not only into their sport, but into the G.A.A. as well. They sponsor such events as Parents’ Day, the Annual Powderpuff Game, selling refreshments at the games, and bake sales. The Girls Athletic Association does not receive enough well-de- served recognition for their talented gift of con- tinually showing the spark and will to do their best in whatever they attempt. This year, President Sue Pitts, Vice-President Ann LeDuc, and Secretary-Treasurer Karen Rear- don all are working together to promote athletic spirit among the girls and throughout the school.

Its members all take an active part in our sports pro- gram. They arc the guys in the blue and gold varsity jackets, the letter holders. They are a source of Arrow spirit. From the pep rally skit to playing in the donkey basketball game, to just being present at the games, the true Arrow spirit is always present. The officers, President Tom Hurley, Vice-Presi- dent Dave Miazgowicz, Secretary Karl Riley, Treas- urer Jeff Kciffer, and Sergeant-at-Arms Paul Bernier, should all be given extra credit for helping pull a dead organization together and turning it into an active participant in school affairs. 65 A Forgotten Book Is Remembered by Some Above: Thomas Gurka sizes a picture for his page. Top: Cheryl Robisch plans the style she will use on her next layout. Above Right: Rosemary Reuter gets ready to crop a picture. Right: Typing body copy for the yearbook is Ann Bilyk, the hard working co-editor. This yearbook is a book composed of 160 pages. It’s an autograph book and a remind- er of the thousand silly and meaningful things that make up a year. But it’s not long before this much auto- graphed volume is condemned to some con- venient shelf. Forgotten, it may lie there for years, never to be looked at again until a new generation dusts it off some rainy after- noon to enjoy a hearty laugh. But there is one group to whom this in- evitable abandonment docs not apply—the yearbook staff. We could not so easily dis- card this book which represents long months of slavery. If someone asked us, we could probably quote it word for word or describe it picture by picture because each page repre- sents a triumph. Some come easy. Some come hard. This was one of the hard ones, for how can we express in a few sentences all that is meant to us, except to say it was worth it all. 66 Center Left: The First Hour yearbook class takes a break.

The 1975 Varsity Football Squad may have been considered small in size, but it never was small in might and spirit. Most of us sat in the bleachers, while the captains led the Arrow men on to victory. Coach Pat and his assistants molded our individual players into a respectable team, on and off the field. Being an Arrow is a job in itself. Long hot hours of summer practice, the sweat, the curfews and even the tears, all for the title of “Arrow Football Player”. It certainly must mean something very special to these men. Getting out there on the field in rain and snow, knowing loss can mean failure, but running those yards, seeing the goal post and then crossing, gives the Arrow player the incentive to go out next time and bring home another Arrow victory. “When I say victory, you say Varsity!” Above: Paul Burke breaks his way through Mt.

JV Has Its Ups And Downs October 27, 1975 was a sad day for the Holy Re- deemer Lions when they tried to overcome the Saint Alphonsus Arrows. Keith Miazgowicz returned the opening kickoff giving the Arrows a good start. Although the Lions stopped their first series of plays, the Arrows took revenge and forced the Lions to punt. John Poma fumbled and the Lions took over, but not for long because Tony Poma intercepted and drove 50 yards for a touchdown, leaving the Arrows ahead 20-0. The second half started with an Arrow kickoff. Later in the game the Lions intercepted the ball run- ning 65 yards for the only touchdown, giving the Arrows another victory 20-6. After the game Coach Philliben said, “This year we’ve had our ups and downs but the things we never lacked were enthusiasm and hustle!” Varsity Captures the League Title The 1975-76 Boys’ Varsity Basketball team moved from fourth place all the way to the Second Division Championship, under the leadership of Coach John Ver- dura, An inexperienced team, they progressed steadily through the season, finally winding up in the state tour- nament. “John Verdura, who guided St. Alphonsus to the Second Division Championship this season, in his first year as head coach,” was named Coach of the Year in a Detroit News article. Three of the boys received awards this year. Seniors Lance Gilmore and Tom Hurley made the Second Team in the West Side section. Also, Junior Terry Butler made All Catholic and the first team in the West Side section. The entire team won honors for spirit and enthusiasm.

The girls improved considerably as the season progressed; they ended up with a league record of 5-3 and an overall record of 5-5. After a very serious knee operation, Captain Mary Jane Oleszkowicz made second team All- cessful season. The girls always gave their oppon- ents a tough battle even in defeat.

Young Ladies in Tennis Shoes This year the girls’ Junior Varsity Basketball team was one of great power and determination. The young ladies never gave up. They strove for perfection under the spirited leadership of Captain Diane Jewell and the marvelous coaching of Jcaninc English. Time after time the girls could be found in the gym practicing and trying until it was done right.

Women Athletes Train, Practice and Win Girls’ Sports at St. Alphonsus are beginning to at- tract more notice. Track, Volleyball, and Swimming have opened doors for the young female athletes who have been anxious to demonstrate their skills. Although the girls’ first season was not thoroughly successful, the young Swim team had a fine and progres- sive season. The team consisted of many girls who had never swum in competition before, but when the time came for practice and the meets, all the girls performed at their best. The Track team gave the girls a chance to exercise in the spring air, although their minds were more intent on training than on the season. Each new year will bring more success to these hard workers. Spike, serve, volley. What do all these things have in common? They belong to a game called Volleyball, another newcomer at St. Alphonsus. Again, like the Swim team, many of the girls were inexperienced, but despite the obstacles, they made an excellent showing. Arrows aren’t just boys, you know! Left.

Right: Ken Theisen shows his winning style, the only style he knows. The Agony of Defeat The success of the Cross-Country and Track team cannot be measured simply by counting the scores. The team's success can only be determined by the members themselves. Behind every team, there is a good coach and there are two people who fit this description — Mr. Patrick O’Hara and Mr. Stan Kus. It is not easy for any coach to mold a group of talented individuals into a team, but Coach Stan came through. And it was Coach Pat who made the team deliver. These men have succeeded. There were times of victory and happiness and of tears and defeat, all of which have developed men. All in all, whether the outcome is a win or a loss, pride in oneself and in one’s team are what Cross-Country and Track are all about. Running the Bases Baseball: A sport played between two teams of nine players each, on a field in the shape of a diamond. Object: To hit the ball and run the four bases for a home run. This year’s Arrows’ team proved that baseball is not one person’s ability. It is the combination of many people. You need people who can run, hit, field, and pitch, all working for one thing, even when things get rough. Through the expert coaching of Mr. Pat Siesz- putowski, the Arrows proved who is best able to run the four bases. Above: Part of the art of baseball is to catch anything that comes your way.

The ’75 Arrow softball team may be described with one word, enthusiastic. It is true that it was not a team of winners according to the scores, but in every other sense of the word, they were win- ners. During one of their practice sessions, the girls could be found at Anthony Park diligently practic- ing under the excellent coaching of Mary Lou Taylor and Mary Szymanski. One of the most memorable games the girls played was against Sacred Heart. It was because of the excellent fielding and hitting by Sophomore Susan Pitts and Senior Trina Rembo that the girls overcame Sacred Heart by a large margin. The young ladies gained experi- ence from this season for their further endeavors as next year’s champion team.

Never be- fore was the world so clear. Never again will it be so confused. Never before were people so friendly, never again will they be so fearsome. Freshman year? A conspiracy. Suddenly, an entire student body is out to make the Freshman feel inferior, clumsy and unable to find the right stairs out of the cafeteria. Teachers are deter- mined to prove he never learned anything in grade school. Early buses send him running down Warren in fear of those pink late slips. Freshman year? Enlightenment. The first year high school student begins to examine the world and his place in it with a new perspective, a per- spective influenced by increased knowledge and deepening awareness. The future, a matter of little concern to the child, sharpens in focus—to Senior year, graduation, life in the “real world”— for the Class of ’79. 101 Front Row: Edward Szczotka, Susan Bagozzi, Laurie Niemenski, Robert Michalak, Mary Czachor, Joseph Wolfewicz, Lisa Bitonti, Kathryn Schroll.

Laughing together, crying, sharing secrets and learning the importance of friendship, being a part of St. Alphonsus in a very special way. Being a Sophomore. Bursting with spirit, “We are the Sophomores” echoes at pep rallies. “How do you work this microscope, anyway?” is muffled in the Biology Lab. They work together conjuring ideas. They know what they want, they have a goal, an opinion. They want to be themselves. Each is an individual, but they combine their actions to achieve as a “Whole”. For Homecoming they constructed their float, entitled “Raid the Flyers”. There, they found success lies even in second place. Their next endeavor was the Sophomore-Senior Breakfast and the result was beautiful. Ask any Senior. Mardi Gras arrived and the Sophs shone brightly. They shared their first retreat away from school together. Everything done, was done together. Much has been expected of them and they have tried their best to come through. But they worry about the future, they wonder if they really do make any difference—yet. “Not a child, not yet an adult, just a Soph.” Front Row: Suzanne Simard, Mary Gorman, Carol Koper, Mary Frances Nicholas, Mary Alice Madej, Susan Booker, Diane Peczynski, Denise Dopke.

We are struggling to produce our best selves, and we have used our talents to produce great accomplishments this year. We proudly presented our winning Homecoming float, “Flyers Are Fryers When the Arrows Get Cookin’ ”, featuring Big Bird. The Junior Dance, “Rock and Roll All Night” and our Mardi Gras Booth, “The Arcade” also succeeded in showing St. Al’s which class has the most spirit. Through it all we “discussed and argued” but this was only the expression of our true concern for one an- other and our desire to succeed. Working together, we have learned how to love—we have learned to live. 112 First Row: Celesiine Papula, Debra Sieszputowski, Mary Ann Flani- gan, Yolanda Limas, Julie Bernier, Maureen Jabour, Beth Ann Matras.

That event is Ring Day. When you walk down the church aisle with about 700 people staring at you, you real- ize there is no turning back. To help make Ring Day even more special the Sophomores gave the Seniors an excellent breakfast, consisting of pan- cakes and sausage. They pre- sented us with some very nice candles and key chains that they made themselves. This special Ring Day started off a truly fan- tastic year.

It had a “Happy Days” theme and, as always, had a purpose of helping charity. On this day the Seniors more than proved their spirit. The Senior ladies dug into the rag bag and came up with some outfits that would make Laveme and Shirley jealous, and the Senior boys ended the nasty rumor that the “wet head is dead”. The Senior French Fry booth and the game booth were again a big success. Probably the most mem- orable event of the day was when five senior guys lived their dreams and became the Beach Boys. All in all the ’76 Mardi Gras was a big success for all. 129 Maria Koch Patricia Knapp Paul Koda wt - i s Ann Kosztowny 130 Mary Jane Lindeman Leslie Lojek Kevin Londke Left: Mr. Schlaff lakes time during the Pep Rally to contemplate the day's activities.

The clever Seniors transformed the gym in- to an attic to match the theme, which was “Toys in the Attic”. The “attic” was complete with paper spiders, webs and toy chests containing animals stuffed with fluff. Even though the gym was clean, the decorations caused the gym to reek with an imaginary musty odor. The highlight of the evening was the announcement of Queen Angie and her Home- coming court.

Look- ing ahead, looking back. Where have the years gone? Each student has matured to the degree he has given of himself and freely received of others—God, parents, friends, and even those whom he would classify as “non- friends”. High School is like any other life situa- tion: time to tackle difficulties, time to make friends and forgive enemies, time to practice patience and forbearance, time to “blow off steam”. Time looked back upon has passed so quickly. Time looked forward to is long coming.

Their attempts to whip up a victorious float end- ed in a gust of wind. As Sophomores, the proud class staged a Ring Day breakfast with help from Sis- ter Maureen. Junior year meant a prize-winning float and a successful dance entitled ‘Diamond Dogs’. Seniors of 1976 paid for their memory- filled high school years in tears, laughter, joy, prayers and determination. On the academic scene, they settled down to com- prehensive study for exams. Their contri- bution to the underclassmen was class unity in an easy four year plan. Michele Szatkowski 14!

Some of it’s been fun; some hasn’t. We are not yet in a position to realize how worthwhile it’s all been, but we know that behind the work and the fun there has been a very basic purpose. Not that we are able to spell it out yet—our futures are too hazy and life without school seems unreal. The whole situation is a little delirious and confusing, but happily so. We are free to become chained to our goals, a rewarding, if not total, freedom. And most important—it is ours. Ours to employ to the best of our ability, ours to feel, to use. We are not sad. There is no real loss in leaving what is familiar to search for betterment. There is just that happy, full feeling of SELF that serves as our reward for achievement. 145 147 Maryann Wiewora Bob Seletyn Good Luck Tom and Paula Mr. and Mrs. Mattes Thank you Mom Dad — A. B.
