Ballou 365 Essex Str eet As seniors at Salem High School we have seen many changes occur which have promoted better educational policies in order to meet the needs of the total school population. We were eighth grade students at the time of the dedication of Salem High School on Sunday, April 25, 1976; however, we were soon to learn that students had been in the new structure since January 19, 1976. During the course of our four years here at the high school, we came to learn and understand more about how the new building became a reality. It became our fortune to be able to benefit from all of the planning and innovations in which the administrative staff, teachers, community leaders, parents and students had been involved. We were to be the first class to spend four complete academic years within the hallowed-walls of a new $18,000,000 structure supplied with up to $1,000,000 in new equipment. It had been through a bond order passed by the Salem City Council and Salem School Committee that the new Salem High School was to be funded with 65% re- imbursement by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts School Building Assistance Bureau. We all waited with anticipation our freshmen year at the new High School and looked to the new educational directions of which we had heard others speak and from which we would benefit. 21 Nadine M.

Belanger 20 Pickman Road 25 Willson Street The School Committee Annual Report of 74-’75 summed up the upcoming opening of the new school. “Another significant change is the result of five years of planning and working by many members of the School Committee, City Council and interested citizens. It is the opening of the new high school which will take place in January, 1976. In addition to the actual planning and work on the building, a great deal of time and preparation was spent by the high school staff in task forces to plan the physical move, set up a new schedule for staff and smdent assignments, student identification and orientation for parents and smdents. This was a benefit to the high school administration and central office in making the transition from the old school to the new school as smooth as possible. The organization of the new school is completely different and a distinct departure from the traditional high school mold. It consist of three houses of approximately 700 students per house. Each house is a school within a school contained on one of three identical floors. In addition, there is a unified arts area which houses physical education, industrial arts, home economics, art, music and career education. These areas are open without wails, and increase the possibility of teachers and students working on projects which combine talents and creativity from several areas. The science labs are also open I Jennifer M. Berry Tami A. Bertini 83 Barstow Street 3 Bertini Lane Michael R. Berube 46 Lawrence Street Michelle D. Bernard 194 Marlborough Road Steve E.

Brothers 20 Briggs Street 166 Federal Street 29K Shore Drive so students from biology, chemistry, physics, and the physical sciences can work together. This is a new and exciting concept which should have a profound effect on the curriculum. In anticipation of this organization, several key adminis- trative appointments were made in the spring and summer. Mr. Donald Brennan was appointed a housemaster as was Ms. Lorraine Kavanagh. Mr. Brennan was formerly a teacher and student activities corridinator at Salem High. Ms. Kavanagh was a teacher in several school systems in New Jersey and overseas prior to her position as Coordinator of Student Teachers at the University of Massachusetts where she was working on her doctorate. Mr. Brennan and Ms. Kavanagh will be joined by Mr. A1 Viselli who served as housemaster at the old high school. Also, Mr. Robert Pesce, Director of Career Education, was appointed Unified Arts Coordinator with the responsibility of overseeing unified arts and increasing the p. ' SSibility of new programs and better coordination. Mr. Joseph A. Zagrobski, Director of Vocational Education and assistant Principal of the high school was made full-time director of the Vocational Education School. This gave more emphasis to the supervision and direction of vocational education in Salem.” The new changes stated brought forth a new concept in education for the City of Salem School Department. Previously, Linda M. Boulay 21 Willson Street Gary G. Bradley 4 Nichols Street Jean E. Bowman 40 Wisteria Street Lisa F. Buba 6 Larkin Lane Jennifer R. Buras William T. Burke 2 Elm Avenue 3 South Street Christopher J. Burkinshaw 84 Ord Street Ruth Burnham 3 Harrison Avenue Daniel J. Butler 8 South Street students were alphabetically assigned to assistant principals and guidance counselors. Under the new system students would be assigned to one of the three houses and their administrators (Green, Blue, or Orange) and their guidance counselors would be assigned according to an alphabetical division in each house. Mr. Curtin summed up the intent of the house system in the Salem School Newsletter of March, 1976. “The House system is crucial to get to know the kids, that personal touch, to let the smdent know that someone knows and cares about him her strengths and weaknesses. That’s the key to a successful high school program,” Mr. Curtin believes. The three house administrators also issued their views about the house system. Miss Lorraine Kavanagh, Green House Administrator, mentioned that the house system has great potential; its own faculty, two guidance counselors and an adjustment counselor along with its own students. The house system combines the friendliness of a small high school with the extensive facihties of a large one. The House system allows flexibility; a new course might be introduced, on a test or Laurie L. Butler 10 Foster Street Deborah A.

Clay 38 Harbor Street Robert Cloutier 46 Roslyn Street pilot basis, in only one house to see if it is successful before being instituted for the entire school. Mr. Donald Brennan, Blue House Administrator, viewed the house system: “Taking 2,000 students and dividing them by three (houses). Each house then contains approximately 660 students. By doing this, teachers will get to know the students better. There should be a closer rapport between the teacher and the student. There will be more specialization. There was one resource room in the old high school, which handled group instruction, tu total and speech needs. Here there are six resource rooms — two in each house.” Mr. Alfred Viselli, Orange House Administrator viewed the house system: “A large school such as Salem High, with close to 2,000 students needs some individualism. The house system allows a greater interchange of ideas; that is, they get to know one another a lot better.” “The new Salem High School is the first high school in the area to be built with the true house concept in mind, for k Cindy J. Cobb 5 Beachmont Road James P. Coleman 19 Lemon Street Christine H. Colvin William J. Connell 15 Bayview Avenue 6 East Collins Street Mary J. Coleman 13 Barr Street Len Conway 25 Winter Road example three science labs (one per house).” “The house system concept will allow for smaller class size classrooms (built with a maximum of 25 smdents in mind).” All of the asministrators viewed the house system enthusiastically as they began their new positions in a new facility. Yet, there was to surface another house to which students were eligible to become part of via curricular selection. The fourth house was called Unified Arts and was to be administrated by Mr. Robert Pesce who was elected as its coordinator. Unified Arts housed the areas of Art, Career Education, Distributive Education, the Practical Arts (Home Economics and Industrial Arts), Physical Education, Music and Smdent Activities. Through the efforts of Unified Arts staff members, the fourth house took on a new appearance — so much different from the areas at 29 Highland Avenue. Where space was a premium at the old high school, the new school afforded ample space to expand the programs in each respective area. The practical arts areas took on a new look: from individual lab areas to an open-laboratory concept; physical education moved Scott Conroy 12 Scotia Street Linda Copelas 31 Broad Street NeilJ.

At last we had a permanent school store in ■ the building unlike the school store ‘hut’ as at the old school. j Salem High School had now become one of the largest educational structures on the North Shore and we as freshmen I looked to what it could offer us and what we could offer to it. I i i In September of 1976 we enrolled as freshmen at the high school. We came from all sections of the city: from the Bowditch, the Pickering, the Horace Mann Laboratory, from Saltonstall, from the Phillips and from St. Josephs. It seemed like we were becoming part of a melting pot but instead we became a part of one of the finest high schools in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Denise M. Demeule 26 Saltonstall Parkway Daniel L. D’Entremont 122 Highland Avenue Carmen Della Monica 18 Prescott Street Karen Desrocher Peter M. Dilsso John F. Dionne 27 Dearborn Street 16 Pratt Street 15 Juniper Avenue It didn’t take long for us to realize the meaning of APEX; where the restaurant was; what Student Activities meant; how to get from Orange House to Unified Arts; and where the vocational school was! Yes, the Vocational School was still at the old high school and students who attended the vocational school were now a separate entity. On a day in day out basis we didn’t see the vocational students. They and their teachers had remained at the old building because there had been no allowances for their move to the new high school. It wasn’t until we became seniors that the vocational programs (with the exception of automotive) became housed at Salem High School; and at this time, we had vocational students in our homerooms, wheras previously the vocational students had separate homerooms. Salem High School was constantly moving toward improvements for its students and staff. Progress did become an important aspect of our high school years. We, as eighth graders, made our first formal visit to Salem High School on May 19, 1976 for the Freshmen Orientation Program. Accompanied by our parents for this evening program which began promptly at 7:00 P.M., we were formally introduced to the administrative staff to whom we would become associated with during our four year stay at SHS. Mr. John R. Dionne 57 Charles Street Karen A. Dionne 12 Sumner Road Patricia A. Dionne 10 Cleveland Street Michael A. Dombrowski 164 Marlborough Road Kathleen J. Doyle 6 Hayes Road John P. Doyle 13 Forest Avenue Glen D. Dyer Kevin S. Eekhoff Joni Eliuk 38 Balcomb Street 29 Hancock Street 191 Federal Street Curtin introduced himself to us and we began to understand the true complexities which we were to face as in-coming freshmen students. Each one of us was to learn that the curriculum offerings at Salem High School were quite varied — so much so that after reading the program of smdies we were faced with choosing courses that could not at all be worked out as a regular student class day schedule. But of course, we did have our limitations. Our eighth grade guidance counselors were soon to point out to us that we had certain required courses which we would have to take before we could get fully involved in the elective course offerings. Mr. Brown, Director of Guidance, was another unfamiliar face standing in front of us. He mentioned that the guidance counselors at the high school were here to help us in any way that they could. But, not all of us would have the same guidance counselor; rather, we would be divided as a class into various houses GREEN, BLUE AND ORANGE. Little did we know that it would take us all about a week to find our way around the building. After all, who was the person who decided to put the blue lockers in Green House, the orange lockers in Blue House, and the green lockers in Orange House? For days we wandered into the wrong house and to the wrong lockers only to go to student activities to complain that someone had put another lock on our lockers and we could not open them to get our books out for classes. What we did not need was frustration coupled with fear of the unknown. Janeen M. Elwell 22 Albion Street Scott J. Englehardt 8 Adams Street At least we did get some cooperation from the upperclassmen who gave us directions and information on how to get to the non-existent swimming pool on the fourth floor — what fourth floor? Oh, you mean the one at the top of the escalator? What escalator? Taking advantage of our own ignorance, the seniors continued to play all types of little jokes on us. Thank goodness for the understanding of the teachers who allowed us into classes after the bells had already rung. We did not even need a note or pass explaining our lateness. Our class in freshmen year was quite large; in the vicinity of about five-hundred. As we look back, what happened to the others? As we got acclimated to our surroundings, we began to notice just how little we were in size and how big the senior appeared to be. It was not very long when we started to get in to the swing of things. Soom it was time for our first small vacation. Yes, Thanksgiving Day was just around the corner and we were able to become a part of one of the noble SHS traditions called “Color Day” or, as it was changed to “The Thanksgiving Day Rally”. What were we suppose to do as freshmen? Over the daily notices we heard the announcement that “Any freshmen student desiring to participate in the Thanksgiving Day Rally skit should sign up with Ms. Hynes in Orange House.” Now was our chance to become involved Barbara A. Fanning 55 Ord Street James M. Fanning 55 Ord Street Michelle Farrell 1 7 Witchcraft Road Mark R. Feilteau 13 Walter Street Kathleen E. Fitzgerald 396 Jefferson Avenue Teresa M. Florence 8 Marion Road Ruth A. Flynn 9 Warren Street Tracy A. Fraser 53 Fort Avenue Laurie A. Fontaine 334 Jefferson Avenue Teresa J. Francis 14 Witchway Denise P.

Gagnon 2 Green Street 6 Orne Street 7 Rainbow Terrace in this noble tradition which we would never forget. The first strike that we had against us was the fact that we were the first class to participate in the Thanksgiving Day Rally. We did not know where to begin. What would be our theme? What would we wear? How would we get up in front of the entire student body and sing a song out of tune? Slowly all of our problems were resolved. After much time and even a few minor quarrels we finally decided what we were going to do. Finally, after much hard work and practice, the day of the Rally was here. We were the first to have to do everything, it seemed. We had to present our Skit first — a group of less than twenty-five freshmen girls in front of the entire school, extremely nervous. However, through our participation in the Rally, singing “Funky Football” at the top of our lungs, we proved that we were a true part of Salem High. Our Freshmen Year was not complete until we attended our first ‘High School Dance.’ We had heard about them from the upperclassmen, but we would not know of their excitement until we had attended one of our own. At that time all dances were held in the Blue House Cafeteria, a place we had not known could become so uncomfortably warm. We also saw that Nelson L. Gagnon 27 Cross Street John M. Gallo 36 Valley Street Karen A. Ganey 1 Vista Avenue Susan E. Gaudrault Laurie A. Gauthier Pamela R. Gauthier 4 Gifford Court 3 Paul Avenue 40 Nichols Street girls danced with girls while the boys stood around the band trying to appear deeply interested when they were just as uninterested as the girls were. Our first high school dance — we had, as Freshmen, to find out for ourselves. Before we knew it, June had arrived, and we were free for our summer vacation. But, again, before we knew it, September had arrived, along with our Sophomore Year. During the summer we matured into ‘Silly Sophomores.’ We spent the summer trying to get our act together. This upcoming year we would become upperclassmen, almost. Sophomore year began amidst confusion, but this time for the Freshmen. We chuckled to ourselves as we silently observed the new-comers to Salem Fligh make the exact same mistakes that we did, one year earlier. Our Football Team came within five points of returning to the Super Bowl. The excitement through the entire school did not stop with our class. Even though we were only into our second year of high school, we felt like we were a real part of Salem High when we were as equally excited as everyone else was. George W.

The boys even ,1 blossomed one step further than the girls did; they began shaving. jit was back to studying in preparation for the future. We, as sophomores, began to realize the importance of the courses I which we were required to take and those which complemented the required subjects to broaden our own backgrounds. I As freshmen, some of us became involved in developing our fine arts and abilities. Some of us had taken courses in the art j area where the open laboratory concept provided an oppormnity to view what other students (juniors and seniors) were studying, learning, and doing. Photography, sculpture, painting, crafts, three-dimensional art, etching, and other charac- teristics of art which had been mentioned in the program of studies were a reality. Some of us looked toward music as an I avenue to express ourselves and to further develop our own abilities. The varied offerings in music, voice, instruments, rand composition had direct application for our planning of the future. The music rooms became utilized to their fullest |! extent. The marching band grew to such large proportions that the spacious wooden floor of the auditorium began to seem Scott Guy 7 Linden Street Mary E. Hardy 10 Barnes Road John M. Harris 148 North Street quite small in size. Music provided much more of a release of talent; it provided direction and a great sense of ac- complishment and pride. Some of us realized that our forte lay in expression through our hands. The Industrial Arts areas of woodworking, plastics, leather, metal technology, exploring electricity, graphic arts, architectural drafting, and power mechanic presented such a variety that more females were becoming interested in the tradidonally all-male courses. Expression came in the forms of lamps, tables, bookcases, belts, molded plastics, layouts and designs, photographic-silk- screened tee-shirts, castings, filament lamps, and many other projects which eveidenced not only knowledge but also understanding. Richard D. Hatfield 38 Greenway Road Thomas D. Hayes 4 Messervy Street Lynne A. Healey 33 Sumner Road In home economics more and more males were enrolling in the area of foods. Survival for Singles became not only a catchy phrase but also a meaningful course offering. The sewing area produced a boutique, and now those students interested could select courses aimed at child care aide training. Everything had a purpose and every purpose became convincingly evident.

Hoar 4 Naples Road Charles R. Holloran Jr. 6 Desmond Terrace Francis J. Hosman Stephen Hosman Marie A. Houde 12 Center Street 78 Ord Street 5 Marion Road The Physical Education area began developing a new course called Project Adventure and offered a variety of interest activities from floor hockey to archery, to fencing, to tennis, to volleyball, to weight training, and so on, . . . and so on. Physical Education was no longer boys vs. boys and girls vs. girls. We were integrated as we had been our freshmen year. I ■ i Some of us began preparing to further our education by realizing the importance of career planning education. The concept of career education began to be infused more and more into classroom work during English, social studies, science, business, modern language, and mathematics. Each academic subject began to take on more importance; however, as usual we would only receive from the classes as much as we desired to receive. The distinction of courses (college and non-college oriented) became much more of a reality. We could look forward to see this distinction as the year went by. One element in the program of studies created an air of apprehension about the future. “Generally speaking, college admission is highly selective in nature. Students should display the following: scholastic achievement, extra-curricular involvement, leadership, character and personality. Most colleges require applicants to submit College Board Examination Deborah A. Howell 4 Wilfred Terrace Denise M. Hoyle 37 Sable Road Kim Hoyle 9 Outlook Hill Kevin A. Hubbard 413 Lafayette Street William C. Hudson 1 Bryant Street Brian S. Hughes 13 Rawlins Street Scores (SAT), and, in some instances. College Board Achievement Test results in one or more subject area.” There it was in black and white. Preparation and achievement in our academic subjects was most necessary in order to look toward college admission. It all seemed so long away; after all, we were sophomores with two more years left at Salem High School. Who was thinking about names of colleges at this point. We were all working hard to make it a successful sophomore year, or, at least, many of us were. We were also informed in the program of studies that “as a general rule students who plan to attend four colleges, nursing schools, or take transfer programs at junior colleges or community colleges, are usually expected to smdy college preparatory courses in the following areas: English, Social Smdies, Mathematics, Science, and for most students, courses in the Foreign Language Area. Students are free to choose subjects from other areas such as Practical Arts, Business, Music, Art and Career Education.” ‘Students who plan to enter business positions after graduation, to further their education in business schools, or to take Russell T.

Keenan 29 Hancock Street 6 Buffum Street 77 Barstow Street Studies took up a great deal of our time but we all managed to get involved in some shape or form with extra-curricular activities. The Winter Cotillion was held at the Salem High School for the first time. Who said it would be fun to sit in the corridors with candles for light? One thing became evident — as seniors our cotillion would be some place else. As it turned out — it was! We weren’t in the corridors. Miss Miaskiewicz and the Foreign Language department were in frantic preparation for the International Fair, an event to which the entire school looks forward. How could we forget the Cheese Cake contest? In the meantime, the National Honor Society ran a benefit for Beth Newton feamring the group “Baloon” and sports teams continued to excel, ie. Girls’ Basketball team went to the State Tournament, and the Swim team finished second in the Northeastern Conference and ranked the secondbest co-ed team in Massachusetts. The flowers began to sprout and the grass turned from brown to green. It was Spring again. Some of us waited the Final Contest of WMLO High School Bowl. Salem defeated Marblehead to win the scholarship award. Meanwhile, Mrs. Susan M. Kehoe 8 Allen Street Karen T. Kennedy 17 Green Street Deborah M. Kidney 15 Osgood Street I Arthur F. King Jr. 7 Wall Street Wayne G. King Patricia A.

Subjects from other areas such as Foreign Language, Art, College Math, etc, etc. . . . Decisions, decisions, decisions! Had we selected the proper course work? Would we be ready for the future? Those of us who were looking toward entering the trades or industry had the vocational school as a training ground of courses in Practical Arts to give us a broad and skilled background. Well, the foundation had been poured. We were halfway through our sophomore year when the Blizzard of ’78 struck and paralyzed the entire North Shore and Eastern seaboard. It snowed and snowed, and for some of us, we met our neighbors for the first time. School was closed until the snow could be removed. People with licenses were told not to drive their cars or if they did they could be fined for having an unauthorized vechicle on the road during this emergency simation. J 1 Diane F.

The seniors were getting anxious about getting out of high school, and we were becoming anxious about getting out for another summer vacation. April came and went; it was now June and we were all counting the days. Finally, June 26th came and it was the beginning of summer vacation. Those of us who fulfilled the requirements to enter our junior year were ready; others, well . . . Here it was September 6, 1978 we didn’t have to go to school — only the freshmen had to attend for orientation, but some of us were in the building helping to do idenification pictures. We began our junior year on Thursday, September 7 th after completing all the forms for registration. We were now upperclassmen walking further down that path to the fumre. Our first big fund raiser was the Homecoming Dance. Senior Laurie Foley was selected as queen, but our hearts were with the Junior Class Court member Debbie Censabella. By the way, we noticed the queen didn’t have a crown. There must have been a cut in the budget. Lisa J. Legere 13 Ocean Avenue Ellen M. Leighton 27 Valley Street Wayne J.

Our skit for this rally was alot easier than our first one in freshmen year. The spirit was overwhelming at the rally but the taste of the turkey on Thanksgiving was spoiled — we lost to Beverly 13-9. The boys ‘cross country team was undefeated and Soccer was tri-champion in the Northeastern Conference.’ NOTICE: “All juniors planning on taking the CEEB SAT’S please see your guidance counselor.” The what. Well, it was time to test our knowledge, understanding and ability to guess. Choose either A, B, C, or D. How come all of the answer choices seemed correct? Three hours of agony which were to play an important role in our future. After the final utterance by the test supervisor — “STOP” — it was all over and we eagerly anticipated the test results. Were we college material? The winter of junior year was cold but mild. Very little snow and no big ski trips. Some of us gave blood for the first time. Ouch! Well, it really didn’t hurt much.

Mr. Meloy and Mr. Wholley directed us toward discovering the real talent in our class. Finally it was show time and we went on stage performing our variety of “Acts.” Lathrop’s GAPP Club, having hosted the smdents from Gottingen, Germany, were soon to embark on their trip to visit Deutschland. What a trip!! Fantastic!! While the exchange on Germany was taking place, many of us were involved in “Showboat”. How could we get a boat into the auditorium? Never mind the boat; what about the water? “Showboat” was held before a packed house each night and received great reviews from all who attended. As the flowers bloomed we got closer to summer and the end of another school year. Lights for night baseball were installed at Palmer Cove. Some of us spent many a warm evening involved in activides and spending hours in meditation at I Robert E. Manning Jr. 5 Paul Avenue Robert J. Manazir Robert K. Marchand Jr. 33 Franklin Street 29 Northey Street Leggs Hill or the Willows. Essentially we were now seniors; graduation had taken place and we were just looking forward | to getting out for the summer. Exams came and for some of us we finally realized that junior year was over and three years l of time had passed much to quickly. We looked to the summer for the rest and relaxation only to realize that our senior | year was in front of us, and the days of reckoning for our future endeavors after high school would soon create a anxiety and confusion in our minds. As seniors we were to be faced with many realities about the future. Smdies had become important, tests to be taken critical, and applications were carefully completed so that when our time was to come we could remove the cork from the bottle encassing our small world of existence and reach toward the future with confidence and optimism. School had re-opened again in September, on time, as usual. This was the beginning of our last year at SHS, and it became j very important that we make the best of every opportunity afforded us. The smdent handbooks, given to us each year, took on another color — yellow. For once we read the contents, and perhaps we read them for the last time. How true were Mr. Curtin’s remarks in the Message from the Principal. “It is the responsibility of all of us — students, teachers. Linda J. Marler 2 Glover Street Janet S.

These expanded opportunities carry with them added responsibilities for you, the students of Salem High School. You should become actively involved in student government so that the burden doesn’t fall to a few and the views of the majority of the students are reflected in school policies and programs. I ask you to respect the right of all who make up the Salem School Community and by doing so we will provide an atmosphere for a healthy learning experience and also maintain our school in a fashion in which we can be proud.” For the past three years some of us had become involved in helping to form the structure and body of smdent government. Now, withone year remaining, we had the oppormnity to become totally involved in government with a knowledge that our actions would leave a legacy for the underclassmen. How often many of us started senior year with the feeling of “ . . . I wish that I had done more during my freshmen, sophomore, and junior years. . . . Wayne T. McElmon 10 First Street Mary L.

Mclntire 204 Jefferson Avenue 34 Hathorne Street 5 Allen Street Our class officers had been elected at the end of our junior year. Brian Moore had been elected president; Cheryl Quirk became vice-president; Suzanne Provencher retained her position as secretary, and Eileen Cox kept her position as treasurer. These office positions, we realized, were most important because through our officers the direction of class activities would flow. The first task of the class was to continue a newly established tradition of running the concession stand at Bertram Field for the football games. This year proved to be an active year at the concession stand because seven home games had been scheduled, and there was a great need for a lot of help behind the tables at the concession stadium. The major problem with opening of the concession stand was what to order for the first home game. Would we have too much or too little? As the day for the opening game approached, this fear lessened because the Class of 1979 had done a great job in keeping records of their running of the concession stand the previous year. Many of us pitched in to man the stand, but soon it became the same familiar faces. What we needed even now was more involvement. ' Karen A. McKinley 14 Tremont Street f Janet M.

Morency 4 Moulton Avenue Linda J. Morneau 24 Winthrop Street One particular characteristic of seniors at the beginning of the year was the frantic rush to join activities. Well, why not. After all, those applying to colleges need some extra-curricular activities on their applications. For the first part of the year everyone looked for something to join so that the activities listed would be on their college applications and school transcripts. We all remember completing our senior questionaire for the guidance department. Remember the statement: “List all the activities in which you are involved.”. As we look back, we wonder if anyone bothered to check whether or not we were actually members of the activities we listed or whether we could have written anything in the space provided. In any case, we started to become more and more involved in the school happenings. The Boston and local papers were featuring stories on the upcoming dedication of the John Fitzgerald Kennedy Library at Columbia Point in Boston. At first many of us did not pay much attention, but when our school surfaced as one of the high school participants in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts J.F.K. Library Dedication Program. Salem High School was to play host to Senator Henry Cabot Lodge of Beverly. Imagine that, we were having a Beverly native speak to us. What happened to Beverly High School? It seems that the state committee organizing the high school program misplaced their Elizabeth A. Murphy 208 Lafayette Street Janice Murphy 48 Belleview Avenue Christopher J. Murtaugh 12 Conant Street Marcia A. Nadeau 1 1 Madeline Avenue Tracie E. Nelson 102 Rainbow Terrace Michael D. Nessinger 44 Prince Street application. As the dedication program day grew closer many arrangements were being made to host Senator Lodge. We learned more about our guest speaker in our classes. As it turned out, the Senator had been an Ambassador to Germany, to the United Nations, and to Viet Nam. In fact, he was the head of the United States delegation to the Paris Peace Talks. Why did they call him Senator if he had been an Ambassador. It was simple, he preferred the senatorial title because he had been a United States Senator longer than any other post which he had held. On October 19, 1979, a big black limousine pulled up in front of the high school and out stepped a tall imposing figure of a man dressed in a light gray suit. He was here! At the assembly program the Senator spoke to us about being involved in government. He was such a dignified personage that his words rung in the air about the auditorium. While underclassmen watched the proceedings over closed circuit television, we were an attractive audience as part of this living historical event. This event was much different from the time that Congressman Harrington had spoken to us. It was different in that the Kimberly M. Nowak Il4 Columbus Avenue William H.

October was a great month for all of us. The weather was near perfect and we were all doing well after the five weeks warning notices. This, the first quarter of the academic year, was very important, and it turned out that the honor roll list for seniors for the first quarter became longer. After all, the colleges wanted to have a record of these marks and the marks for the second quarter. While smdies were foremost in our minds, we did get involved socially. Homecoming Day in October was a picmre perfect Fall day. During the half-time ceremonies at Bertram Field our 1979 Homecoming Queen Tyla Thibodeau was presented a bouquet of roses and a crown. That’s right, the money for the crown had evidently been put back in the budget. The first quarter was coming to a close. It was the first week of November with the final day of the quarter coming up on Friday. NOTICE; “The Red Cross Bloodmobile will be taking donations tomorrow.” What???

This time we noticed many new senior faces donating blood; however, after the bloodmobile we all realized that, as concerned students providing a community service, we had to do better for the blood donation program, and we did just that in the Spring. As Thanksgiving Day approached we came to know the feeling of the excitement of our last “Thanksgiving Day Rally.” The Tuesday before the rally was a long day for the most of us. This was to be the last time that we could decorate the field house with rolls of paper painted with red and black. Tuesday evening began in the Green house cafeteria and ended with yards and yards of tape holding up all of the posters which we had made. As Wednesday rolled around, the seniors turned out in force and in colors, too. It was a long day until the beginning of the rally; but once it started the fervor built and built. We were coming off a loss to Beverly last year, but based on the spirit of the student body and the progress of the “Rat Pack” football team, we were all confident that we would be victorious against Beverly. Salem 21 and Beverly 20. When Jim LeBlanc scored the touchdown with seconds remaining, the fans and the entire team rushed on to the field. Lisa A. Petronzio 14 Savoy Road Deborah A.

Pszenny 1 1 Boardman Street What a feeling for us seniors to realize that “our team” had defeated our archrival in the final football game of our high ! school years. When we came back from Thanksgiving vacation it was back to our studies. As seniors, we were all involved in completing jOur applications for college. Financial aid became a prime concern for all of us planning to further our education. The rising college costs had prompted us to fill our our FAF forms and supplments. All we could do was wait for the results. Our SAT exams were behind us now, and the results would be returned to the school and to us in the near future. So much depended on our capacity to do well on the exams which measured our scholastic aptitude and potential. As the Winter [months progressed, it was back to studies and preparation for the International Fair in the Blue house cafeteria. In between getting measured for caps and gowns, and making sure that our names appeared properly on the diploma list, we continued to be involved in school activities.

As we soon learned the Key Club was a student organization sponsored i by the Kiwanis Club in Salem, and that student members were providing services to charitable organizations in the j community. Some of us saw an opportunity to join still another organization, and we did. “ I December was snowless again, and we were all beginning to wonder if we would have any snow — days this year. Before long the Christmas Holidays come upon us and we were out for a long vacation and rest. j There had been some talk prior to the holidays that the vacation would be extended for a few days. The reasoning for the proposed vacation extension was to conserve energy. At the wisdom of the school committee, the vacation was not extended and we returned to S.H.S. the morning after New Year’s Day. It was great to be back and to realize that we had but five months of high school remaining. It had been a little earlier in the year that the Salem Public Schools had a new Superintendent. During the past decade Cheryl A. Riley 247 Jefferson Avenue Diane E. Rice 9 Turner Street Susan M. Richard 15 Fowler Street Karen L. Robichaud 20 Fowler Street Michelle A. Robichaud 7 Foster Street Michael J. Roddy 15 Lovett Street Kathleen L. Robinson 29 Butler Street Robin A. Roderick 58 Salem Street Lisa M. Ronan 96 Rainbow Terrace Dana J. Rowand 109 Columbus Street : there had been four permanent superintendents, or at least, semi-permanent and one acting superintendent who stepped ' in to hold the reins three times. We were in grammar school when Dr. Lawrence Fitzpatrick left the superintendency and was replaced by Dr. Thomas Maguire. Dr. Maguire stayed for about three years after which Dr. Lawrence O’Connell was named superintendent and spent one year in Salem. In 1975 Dr. Alan Schaefer was appointed superintendent and remained in Salem until the beginning of the 1979-1980 school year. In between the hiring and resigning of superinten- dents, Dr. Joseph Salerno, our Assistant Superintendent of Schools, assumed the role of acting-superintendent. Upon the resignation of Dr. Schaefer, the school committee began a search for a new superintendent of schools. From all of the candidates one name surfaced to be placed before the school committee for acceptance. Mr. Henry J. O’Donnell, III was selected and elected Superintendent of the Salem Public School System. As a former regional director of the state department of education, he brought knowledge and understanding of the complex issues and processes faced by educators today. He seemed to be everywhere during his first month as superintendent — at basketball games, at hockey games, at banquets and many other activities. A William J. Russell 12 Roper Street John J. Salerno 5 Quadrant Road Leigh A. St. Pierre 6 Lovett Street Laura J. Sanford Nina M. Santo 8 Woodside Street 42 March Street j Cheryl A. Sarkisian 27 Linden Street Our first formal introductions to him came on January 8th when, after having been a guest of the Key Club at their monthly luncheon, Mr. O’Donnell spoke to us at a mini-assembly in the auditorium during G period. His message was brief and to the point. The students at Salem High listened attentively to every world as he mentioned how proud he was of student accomplishments and how concerned he was that the voice of the smdent population be heard, and that the only way it might be heard is through concerted effort of the smdent body to become involved in the smdent governmental processes. His words so reminescent of the principal’s message printed in the smdent handbook. The general attimde of being involved seemed to be a central theme for so many speeches — and yet, it was easy to see that through our own involvement in school activities over the past three years we not only had a great deal of fun and experience and so much enjoyment but also we were contributing to the betterment of the school and to the betterment of purselves. In fact, it was easy to reflect upon the changes in personality of those seniors who had been involved in activities, athletics, music, art, etc. over the years — these seniors always seemed happier and appeared to have a more conscious commitment to the general welfare of themselves, others and the total school.

As had been established the previous year, the cotillion would be held at Salem High School but not in the corridors. Who wanted to eat in a i: corridor anyway? The Junior and Senior class officers got together with Mr. Curtin, Mr. Wholley and Mr. Box to explore |i the use of the auditorium. One thing most of us seniors did not realize was all of the behind the scene work that had to be I? accomplished in order to make any of the class events, or, in fact, any event at the high school a success. i|! j. When permission had been granted to fully utilize the auditorium for the cotillion, all the class officers went to work I recruiting class members to work on the acmal planning and arrangements for the evening. |, A sketch was designed to accommodate the needs of the smdents who were planning to attend. “South Bound Brass” was hired for the entertainment and a stage was set in for them in the carpented entrance to the auditorium. Tables and chairs [ were placed on the wooden floor and the stage in order to provide seating and dining space. The huge red doors were j placed on either side of the band in order to block off the permanent seating. In order to feed the 150 couples attending, a Sally A. Swaczyk 6 Paul Avenue Steven F. Swasey 16 Burnside Street Brian T. Sweeney 22 Silver Street large buffet was arranged by the planning committee. All in all, the evening was a complete success and we did not have to eat in the corridors. Joseph M. Sweeney 22 Silver Street Mary E. Sweeney 10 Naples Road Eileen J. Talbot 10 Horton Street Time was passing quickly now. The second quarter was ending and marks were being compiled. Transcripts were being typed to send to colleges and application deadlines had been met. The wait for news about our future was ahead of all of us. In the meantime, those seniors with a 3.50 cummulative average over the three and one-half years at S.H.S. were to be honored the evening of February 6th. This was National Honor Society Induction. Those of us who had fulfilled the N.H.S. requirements marched into the auditorium and took our seats. We were to join a society, recognized throughout the nation, as a organization exhibiting the characteristics of scholarship, character, leadership and service. As the evenings program began we realized how proud we were to be part of the induction ceremonies; and most of all. Jeffrey A. Talbot 274 Lafayette Street David S.

Ms. Patricia Hynes was the guest speaker. She also was a I member of N.H.S. in high school; and, by the way, what better person to speak to us since she was “Young Educator of the Year in 1979 from the City of Salem.” Thanks to Mr. Billings this candle lighted ceremonies were a success — he had the matches! NOTICE: “All yearbook orders and caps and gown order must be made by March 7th. Any senior who does not have his her picture submitted to the yearbook by then will not be in the book.” You mean to say, that some seniors have not ordered their yearbook, got measured for cap and gown, or had yearbook picmres taken? Well, there’s nothing like procrastination is there? We left for winter vacation in February realizing that the time was growing short, and when we returned after the vacation news about some acceptances to colleges began filtering in. All of us thinking about college admissions wondered about our chances — all we could do is wait a little longer. Panagiota V. Tzortzis 12 Beacon Street Emilie M. Van De Stadt 101 Essex Street Our girls’ basketball team went on to win the State Championship in Division I and we finally honored them after having the first rally postponed because of the snowstorm. Yes, we did have a snow day — and by the way, we also had a Pope Day earlier in the year when Pope John Paul II visited the United States. Two days off out of the five regularly scheduled snow days. As seniors we yearned for a couple of more days off just to rest. As the year began to wind down a lot was still in front of us and we can think about all the good times yet to come. March did come in like a lion with another bloodmobile, career days, and student government day. Gary Gibney was elected principal and he did an outstanding job; Lisa Heaphy was superintendent of schools and Brian Moore her assistant. Of course, there were many other positions — 95 in all. Peter Sholds was mayor for the day and Leo Higgins, as Civil Defense Director, called a mock disaster which forced a fictitious evacuation of the high school and Horace Mann North. Our student school committee sold the school administration building and the Oliver School; denied a pay raise for the superintendent; and requested a 1.5 million dollar bond order for Bertram Field. The student city council passed ordinances approved the sales of school property; approved the bond order of Bertram Field; and got into good debates over numerous civic issues. Thomas S.

What an outstanding effort for everyone. The cameraderie we have enjoyed as seniors was shown by our participation in the show. It is with fond hope that this closeness continues throughout our lifetime. As we now look to the end of the year so much is still in front of us — final exams, senior week and graduation. What will be the changes which will take place at Salem High School after we leave. We may never experience them but we can go forth with the realization that the Class of 1980 did its part and contributed to the Salem High School Community. 92 Linda Marler r M Alice Deforrest Janice O’Connell Stephen Perroni When We Were Young Cheryl Sarkisian Kevin Eekhoff Susan Kehoe Karen Desrocher Karen Dionne Richard Downing Laurie Carr Artie King Vivian Gianouhs Kevin Hubbard Kathy Doyle Nancy Cappuccio Mary Wesley Marie Gagnon imitating £lvis Jim Barb Fanning Judy Bacherman Jennifer Buras Jeanne Ashley I Louise Eileen Cox S 1 1 1 J Donna Porcello Kathy Armstrong Judy Madore Lisa Buba Carmen Della Monica Scott Henderson Lisa Legere Robin Roderick Laurie Pelletier Laurie Fontaine Nat Ballou Mike Dombroski Scott Conroy Joan Lawicki Debbie Phillips ■-I Tom Vasilakoporilos Tracey Walsh Pamela Gauthier Mark Fielteau Bill Burke Dan Henrick Scott Mallard Leslie Pomroy Eileen Talbot Patty Dumais Patty Slejzer Lisa Heaphy 97 Judi Marraffa Steven Morse Mary Hardy Monica Tremblay Jacqueline Bedard Mark Winiarz Daniel Keenan Linda Ellis Marie Gagnon Jeff Marrs Tracey Fraser Maureen Gagnon Scott Englehardt Marlena Hewitt John F.

Despite many injuries, the girls posted a rather impressive 4-5 record. Some meets were lost by only a few points, so their record was not an accurate showing of the talent they possessed. Salem took fifth place n the Northeastern Confer- ence Meet on November 6. In doing so, the team came out ahead of Winthrop (whom they had lost to during the season) and came very close to scoring higher than both Marblehead and Gloucester. 109 Boys ' Cross-Country 1980 SHS Boys’ Cross-Country Team ■ -a The start of any cross-country race is exciting. As the ru nners assemble on the starting line, one can cut the i tension with a knife. Inside each person there is the churning of stomachs, the tensing of muscles and the built up anxiety to do well. For some unknown reason, once the stater’s gun is fired, the race and all of the anxieties which go along with it become lesser. However, there is no greater feeling to have finished a race and to have known that you did your very best. 110 The Boys’ Cross-Country team was under a period of re-building during this past season. For the harriers the season did not seem to promising be- cause of the loss of many veterans who had graduated. Nonetheless, the har- riers led by Cdfptain Bill Nunn put a scare into many of the Northeastern Conference teams as the season prog- ressed. Coach Tom Lubas did have only one starting runner to key on for the upcoming meets; however, when Bill Nunn was turned loose on the course he continued to improve throughout the season. As usual the climax of the season came with the final meet of the year against arch-rival Beverly. It was well known about the strength of the Beverly team, yet this meet in particular was promoted as a dual between Bill Nunn and Beverly’s Scott Peeler. As the starting gun sounded the runners moved swiftly over the Gallows Hill course. Up over the hills, down the hills, loop after loop the race was between Nunn and Peeler. As they approached the finish line. Bill Nunn bested Peeler and in doing so set the third fastest time ever recorded at the Gallows Hill course. His time of 13:29 is another standard for the thinlies. While the record for the season was two and seven, the hearts and perseverance of the harriers can lead only to much bigger things to come next year.

It looked rather grim when we began the season by losing two out three of the scrimages. Our co-captains, Ellen McDonald and Candy McCuen, led us on to become one of the highest scoring teams in the history of Salem High field hockey. We had many close games, especially the one against Lynn English where we won by scoring in the last twenty-two seconds of the game. To back up a great offense, we had a great defense with our goalie Carolyn Carter posting seven shutouts. The season came down to the wire with only one point needed to go to the State Tournament with only one game left. Despite our valiant efforts, we lost regretably to Beverly. The team was credited with three all-stars; Mona Pellitier, Carolyn Carter and Sue Richard. The rest of the team was presented with such as Shannon O’Brien, Coach’s Award; Margaret Morency, Unsung Heroine; Ann Ingemi, Most Improved Player; Carolyn Carter, Most Valuable Player; Candy McCuen, Hall of Fame; Sue Richard, Best All-Round Player and Ellen McDonald, Most Consistent.

The football cheerleaders at Salem High School are noted for their spirit, and it is a spirit which they express that is transmitted to the fans attending the games. Satur- day after Saturday, rain or shine, the football cheerleaders stood, danced and cheered on the sidelines. Time after time, they added to the excitement of the Saturday afternoon football games.

The 1979 team will long be remem- bered in the annuals of Salem High School football. 117 Thanksgiving Rally and Game SOCK IT , TO en ‘SOPHS LLHS5 riwfr LUCK ill Ro«n ri ' oPHonwE 5Exy.u« f .1 V ' «THECU55 ysiG ,fSi5Wi©RTi l?- De IT B£TT€lt YCUIkA|J ifmt iwyjfiwS TlTllNinRS ' S« 0- Q, luzih: ' 6(i)PH(DM i As is the tradition, the Salem High School football squad was honored at the annual Thanksgiving Rally in the eterans Memorial Field House the day before the big game against Beverly High School. But it was on Thanksgiving Day that t e Witches culminated their season with a 21-20 victory before 9000 enthusiastic fans. With just forty-eight secon s remaining m the game, the Witches stole victory from the Panthers after driving 98 yards for the score. It was the thrill of victory or t e Witches and, most definitely, the agony of defeat for the Panthers. 119 Varsity Golf (Front row) Bruce LaBonte, Steve Manila, Tom Houde, Paul Lazdowski, and Joe Mento (Back row) Dave Herlihy, Ric Lewis, Fredrik Jonnson, Mike Cullen, Jay Corbett, and Coach Bill Cullen The Golf Team season was once again superb. Led by Captain Paul Lazdowski, the team began the season by defeating Gloucester and Winthrop. It looked as if the team was on the path to an undefeated season until Beverly upset the team 6V to 51 . This defeat did not dismay the golfers. In successive victories, the team defeated Lynn English, Danvers, Swampscott, Saugus, Marblehead, and Lynn Classical. The eight and one season brought the team a share of the Northeastern Conference championship. Each year the golf team continues to improve and to make us all proud of their accomplishments. Who is to say that before long, the SHS golf team will be a force to reckon with in the State. i 1 5 120 Varsity Girls’ Soccer Team Picture — Bottom Left to Right; Gail Blasczak, Lisa Mclntire, Eileen Hebert, Iris Oquendo, Roberta McDonald, Evelyn Oquendo, Mary Civiello, Julie Tache, Justine Ackerman, Stephine Rosati, and Chris Mares- calchi.

The team played surprisingly well with some fine team and individual efforts. Highlights were 3 ties with Marblehead, Swampscott, and Peabody; and the top effort was a win over Winthrop. There were only 4 Seniors on this club — Iris Oquendo, Mary Civiello, and co-captains Janet McSwiggin and Lee Ann Shaffavel. This year would have to be termed a great success. All team members are looking for even better things next year under the leadership of Coach Tom Billings, and co-captains Doreen Thibault and Eileen Hebert. 123 Varsity Soccer Cheerleaders 1st row — Kim Dacy, Pam O’Donnell, Tracy O’Meara, Karen Ganey, Lisa Daigle, Marcia Murphy, Jeanne Ashley; 2nd row — Dale Theberge; top — Sue Tannatt, Laury Baccari, Cathy Porcello, Lisa Heaphy, Kathy Shirley 124 Jeanne Ashley, Kim Dacy, Laury Baccari, Karen Ganey (Witch), Lisa Heaphy, Tracy O’Meara, and Sue Tannatt M The cheerleaders for the Salem High Soccer team did a great job supporting the team on to Conference champs. As well as cheering at all the games, the cheerleaders also decorated the houses of the varsity team the night before they met Beverly for their last game of the season — an all time first for the soccer team. Their support was greatly appreciated throughout the season. This year’s captains were Laury Baccari and Lisa Heaphy. !

From the outset the team was a force to be reckoned with in the Northeastern Conference. Coach John Aucone’s squad slowly began to eat up the competition. When all the nets had been taken down the team had recorded a season record of fifteen wins, one loss and two ties. This brought the Northeastern Conference Soccer Championship to SHS for the first time. Soon it was on to the State divisional play against Billerica. Unfortunately the season ended with a first round loss to Billerica; however, our 1979 Boys’ Soccer team has set the path to be followed by next year’s squad. 127 Varsity Girls’ Tennis (Front row) Kristen Anton, Sara Ledger, Marie Grant, Kathy Yanis, Sue Powers, and Cindy Nowak (Back row) Coach Sue Brown, Debbie Schaefer, Lisa Hancock, Beth Melin, Sharon Higgins, Lisa Lonergan, Wendy ReRoin and Joan Daigle Tennis Anyone? J The Girls’ Tennis Team, Coached by Sue Brown, compiled a four win and fourteen loss season. Led by Debbie Schaefer, Beth Melin, Kriston Anton, Wendy DeRoin and Marie Grant the team faced some stiff competition from the other member teams of the Northeastern Conference. While the season’s record is not indicative of the team’s full playing ability. Captain Debbie Schaefer and her squad made a strong showing during conference play. 129 Girls’ Basketball (Front Row) Denyce DeRoche, Evelyn Oquendo, Shirley Kobialka, Sue Richard, Donna Hart, Shannon ■ O’Brien, and Doreen Thibault (Back row) Coach Tim Shea, Julie Tache, Sara Leger, Alison Dailey, Marie i Grant, Lori Stewart, Jennifer Berry, Candy McCuen, Coach Mary Manning, Coach John Fortunato As the season started it was easy to see that the SHS Girls’ Basketball team was on its way to the championship. Led by Captain Sue Richard and the outstanding play of Marie Grant, the team did not stop until it had cap- tured the State Division I crown. Twenty- seven victories later the crown was brought to SHS. Head Coach Tim Shea and the girls not only captured the title but also the hearts of the many individuals who followed the team down the road to the championship. It was just a super season and it was capped by all of the accolades for the team which this city and school could bestowe. Congratulations girls! Do it again next year. | 131 Basketball Cheerleaders Julie Connors, Lisa Dennis, Stephanie Gibney, Debbie Censabella, Ruth Turcotte, Pam Gauthier (head cheer- leader), Monica Tremblay, Janet Mento, Sharon Gerolamo, Jackie Fields, and Mary Hardy 132 For the basketball cheerleaders the season extended over many of the Winter months. Day after day they j practiced their routines under the guidance of the advisor Connie Hoar. Head cheerleader Pam Gauthier and her squad competed in the Northeastern Conference Cheerleader Competition at Marblehead high school thus finishing a spectacular season for the squad. Thanks to the cheerleaders, the spirit of the season was continuous. Varsity Boys’ Basketball 134 The Boys’ Basketball Team led by Captain John Doyle ran into some very tough competition dur- ing the ’79-’80 season. Head coach Bob Geswell and his assistants Frank Markos and Jim Kefalis guided the team to a ten win and eleven loss sea- son. It may have been a difficult season, but the team gave the fans alot of thrills during the regular season play. 135 Gymnastics (Front row) Tammy LeBouf, Jani Bertini, Sheryl Petronzio, Gail DeRoche, Alison Maloon (Back row) Coach Procopio, Captain Tami Bertini, Captain Maureen Paine, Heather Norton, Susan Twomey, Donna Gerolamo, Cindy Lemeisz, Lisa Mazza, and Asst.

After defeating Marblehead, Saugus and Dara Hall, the team’s first loss was to Gloucester and then followed by a close match against Beverly (Salem 91.15 and Beverly 93.10). The team re- bounded to capture victories from Danvers, Winthrop and Winchester. Both Tami Bertini and Maureen Paine were elected to the SHS Gymnastics Hall of Fame. 137 Varsity Hockey Cheerleaders (Bottom) Bessie Dragonis, Ellen Popp, Janet Hever, Stephanie Rosati, Michelle Sanford, Brenda Stepenuck and Pam Theriault (Top) Karem Stamos, Tara Michaud, Dominique Ingemi, Michelle Robichaud, and Karen Kennedy. The Hockey Cheerleaders con- tinued to bring spirit to the hockey matches. Led by Head Cheerleader Brenda Stepenuck the squad attended every game and cheered the team on even though it was not the best of sea- sons. Dedication to the team was evi- dent on the part of the cheerlead- ers. Each game they stood in the stands and provided the atmos- phere to let the hockey team know that win or lose, the fans were behind them 100%. 138 It’s not whether you win or lose . . . and if you don’t believe it, ask the hockey cheerleaders. We salute the hockey cheerleaders for their devotion to the team and to the sport.

When the skates were hung up the team had recorded one win and seventeen losses; however, the Northeastern Conference honored the team by presenting it with the first hockey trophy in Salem history. The Charles Carlin Trophy for Sportsmanship was awarded to the team for its outstanding manner of play during the season. 140 Varsity Swimming The 1980 Swimming Team has a great deal to be proud of after the excellent season it recorded. Led by Captains Mary Sweeney, Debbie Pelletier, Jim Leger and Jeff LeBlanc the team compiled a record for five victories against zero defeats. The team brought the Northeastern Championship to SHS along with the Northeastern Conference Relay Car- nival Championship and the Northeastern Conference All-Star Meet Championship. Both Coach Ray Harrington and Asst. Coach Mark Sanviti are to complimented on the team’s outstanding performance.

It is unfortunate that the record does not portray the great amount of talent and potential the team posses- sed. Seniors on the team were: Laury Baccari, captain and recipient of the Leadership Award; Debbie Censabella, captain; Linda Copelas; Marie Gagnon, voted Most Im- proved Player; Debbye Grady and Tyla Thibodeau, elected into the Hall of Fame. With many underclassmen returning next year, the witches will have a promising fu- ture.

This years boy’s winter track team proved to be a spirited and hardworking group. Their season record of 3 wins and five losses may not sound “earth- shatteri ng”; but, in particular, the performances of the mile relay team were. Three times during the season, the Witches had to depend on the final race, the relay, to secure victories. They say that dedication, hard work, and a lot of heart can help a team overcome all obstacles. This team certainly proved that. Coach Tom Lubas, who aided the team in numerous ways, was proud of the entire team and what they accomplished. He is looking forward to next year’s team. They appear very promising.

H 1 Career Education Day JCareer Education Day is always an educational experience and exciting Iday at Salem High School. Mr. John Ward of the Office of Career lEducation and his staff invite many individuals from the world of work jto come to SHS in order to share their experiences with the student mody. This year’s career day was another complete success. 1 980 Student Government Day ' The 1980 Student Government Day proved to be another success. Organized through the Office of Student Activities, over d 100 students participated in this year’s day. For the first time the program involved a foreign nation (Spain) which permitted ( Fernando Vazquez to be Consul-General for the day. The day was highlighted by a smdent school committee meeting and a student city council meeting. Two important actions of the day were the renovation of Bertram Field and the selling of the school department administration building. Through the conserted efforts of all of the civic and government leaders on the city, county, state, federal and foreign level. Student Government Day for 1980 will be difficult to follow in 1981; however, ■r we are sure that the 1981 day will be better and bigger than this years. i 165 The goal of the Northeast Regional Red Cross Blood Pro- gram is to enable the community to meet the “total needs” for blood products for all patients hospitalized in the over two hundred hospitals that it serves in Massachusetts and Maine. Salem High School was the first high school in the Com- monwealth of Massachusetts to sponsor a student-run and school sponsored bloodmobile. Since 1974 the students and staff of Salem High School have continually supported the Northeast Regional Red Cross Blood Program. Each year two bloodmobiles are held at SHS. As you view this section of the yearbook, please keep in mind the ever present need for voluntary donations. This year we were fortunate to help collect over 130 pints of life. Next year we hope to even do better. See you at the next bloodmobile. 167 A Powder-Fuff Football — E.R.A.

Everyone in the semi-crowded stadium eagerly awaited the contest which had been billed as the game of the decade. Coaches Glenn Dyer and Greg Green, with their Monday-morning quarterback staff of thousands, stood at the sidelines sizing up the opponents (36-34-36). Coaches Dyer and Green ruled the roost and called every play from the sidelines. As the two teams struggled to reach their opponent’s goal, it was quite evi- dent that this struggle was going to last much longer than anticipated. Salem’s spirit was un- rivaled; Beverly’s power and line was unmerci- ful. After much BLOOD, SWEAT, AND TEARS, the Salem FEMS suffered an agonizing defeat at the hands of the Pantherettes. 1980 International Fair IHtaiia 170 The Foreign Language Department each year presents its International Fair to the delight of the entire staff and student body of Salem High School. Ms. Christine Mias- kiewicz, Foreign Language Chairperson, along with her staff present a great variety of foreign foods, cultural information, and dances throughout the day. Organizing and presenting the International Fair is a large task, but it always well done and it provides another cultural experi- ence for all who attend. Senior Variety Show The kids are all right! Sure they’re all right. Well, most of the time anyways. Once we got our acts together there was no stopping us! We would never have been able to produce the show without the unending support and encouragement from Mr. Carlton Talbot, our show advisor. With his help, the Class of ‘80’ once again pulled together amidst diaper pins, lollypops, and teddy bears. We were awed by a variety of entertaining and unusual acts in- cluding the singing of ‘‘Rubber Ducky” , the dressing in diapers, and the show-stealing antics of the “Hats”. Our M.C.s, Cheryl Quirk and Glenn Dyer, kept the audience as well as the cast amused by their teasing and clowning around. For two nights, we put aside our maturity and pride and decided to be kids — for one last time. After our final performance, the en- tire cast gathered in the green cafeteria to munch out and view slides of our Junior Show. We were also entertained by Mr. Tal- bot’s unprecedented presenting of the “Clyde Awards” to the most memorable acts. Thank you, Mr. Talbot — you are great! Mount Monadnock On Sunday, October 14, 1979, thirty of our brave seniors eagerly, but sleepily, piled into a Michaud “Cheesebox”. We were also lucky enough to receive a typical Michaud bus driver whose skill in driving and in taking directions matched Mr. Box s, causing us to get lost on the way up. They said they couldn’t find the mountain (?). While Mr. Box and the bus driver got their directions straight, we were overwhelmed by an over abundance of donuts and an endless supply of milk, (no Bud!). By the time we arrived at the mountain it was 10:00 a.m. which made us have to quicken our pace up our trek. We reached the summit of Mount Monadnock at about 11:30 so we decided to stop for lunch. We didn’t stop too long because it was ilmost twenty degrees out and we were freezing ouv arms off! While we were on the summit, some of us took pictures of the breathtaking view spread out before us. Climbing up was not as bad as climbing down or was it? After reaching our base camp and making a pit stop before returning to the bus, we all realized the sense of accomplishment for the feat which we had just performed. Next, on to Everest!! Sojtuses Under the apt direction of Mr. Patrick Meloy, the Salem High School Drama Club in cooperation with the Salem High presented the musical “Carnival” during the month of May. Judi Marraffa as Lili; Brian Rybicki as Rosalie; and Bob Goodwin, as B.F. Schlegel provide man of the musical. Along with an outstanding supporting cast, tht principal players fulfilled all the expectations of the audience. Thank you cast members for another GREAT PERFOR MANCE. School Music Departme as Paul; Michael Curtin, as Marco; Suzanne Provencher, exciting and enjoyable moments during the two day run John P. Kennedy Library Dedication Day I I Living history walked through the doors of Salem High School on Friday, October 19, 1979. The history was in the person of Henry Cabot Lodge, from neighboring Beverly. Mr. Lodge was formerly United States Senator (R-Mass.), I960 Republican Vice-Presidential nominee. Ambassador to Germany, Ambassador to Vietnam, head of the United States delegation to the Paris Peace Talks. Ambassador to the Vatican, and United States Repre- sentative to the United Nations. His visit to Salem High was as a representa- tive from the John F. Kennedy Library in conjunction with the library’s dedication project for Massachusetts’ high schools. Senator Lodge flew into Boston after attending the Annual A1 Smith Dinner in New York City. He was greeted at Logan International Airport by Dr. Joseph Salerno, Acting Superindent of Schools; Mr. Edward Curtin, Principal of Salem High School; Mr. Leonard Box, Coordinator of Student Activities; Mr. Albin Pszenny, President of SHS Student Council; staff re- porters Terri Francis and Kathy McCabe; and yearbook photography editors Linda Marler and Kathy McCormick. Enroute from the airport via a limousine donated by O’Donnell Funeral Home, the senator was exclusively interviewed by Terri Francis for the Cauldron. After the reception. Senator Lodge addressed the Salem High School student body and spoke to the importance and challenge of public service. His speech was highlighted by some notable recommendations, namely that there be an immediate survey of the federal government for the promotion of economy; there should be more public financing of political campaign; there should be reform of our system for electing the President and Vice- President regarding popular vote; there should be an allowance of tax re- wards to companies which increase employment and put down inflation; there should be better coordination on defense and foreign policy matters; the U.S. Constitution should be amended so that members of the House will be limited to serving three terms of four years each, and Senators to two terms of six years each; and the President should be given the power to veto certain objectionable parts of legislation rather than to veto the entire piece of legislation. Senator Lodge concluded his address by saying, Each one of us should make ourselves as strong and as valuable a person as we can. Think therefore about these lines from the philosopher Francis Bacon: It’s is not what men eat, but what they digest that makes them strong; not what we gain, but what we save that makes us rich; not what men read, but what they remember that makes them learned; and not what we preach, but what we practice that make us Christians. These are great but common truths, often forgotten by the glutton, the spendthrift, the bookworm, and the hypocrite.’ — Kathy McCabe ’82 179 1979 Homecoming Day Sharon Flynn ' 83, Ann Dubiel ' 82, Mr. Grady, Queen Tyla Thibodeau, Mr. Brennan, Mr. Box, Debbie Payne ' 82, and Laura Lemiesz ' 81. Homecoming Day for 1979 took place on October 20th during the half-time of the football game. The 1979 Homecoming Queen, Tyla Thibodeau, was crowned by Mr. Donald Brennan, Blue House Co- ordinator, while Mr. Peter Grady, President of the SHS Football Boosters presented roses to the queen and her court. The ceremony was highlighted by the music selections of the 1980 Salem High School Marching Band under the direction of Mr. Robson Shelly and Mr. Ric Madru. 180 I i A Winter Contillion Pictured above, from left to right: Debbye Grady, Karen McCarthy, Suzanne Tannat, Lisa Petronzio, Shannon O’Brien, Lisa Matarazzo and Sharon Curtin Who would have thought the auditorium could have been transformed into a winter wonderland? Somehow the de- corations committee did it. With the auditorium closed in with partitions, a red glow emmitted from the room. Deli- cate snowflakes hung gently from the ceiling while icicles cleverly spelled our “Winter Cotillion”. Music from the band, “South Bound Brass”, flowed from the carpeted en- trance to the auditorium leaving plenty of space for the couples to enjoy the great sound and food comfortably. Some couples had the chance to get a better look at those doing their thing on the dance floor from the tables on the stage. A terrific buffet added to the festive atmosphere making the night a complete success. Of course, the height of the evening was when the queen and her court was announced. Class of 1 980 — Junior Prom Jennifer Buras, Pamela Gauthier, Terri Francis, Sue Twomey, Mary Hoar, Mary Sweeney, Linda Jalbert, Karen j Ganey, Denise Kuszmar 186 The Class of 1980 Junior Prom was held at the Thompson Club in North Reading. This was our second big event as a class, having just completed our Junior Minstrel — Variety Show earlier. Sue Twomey was selected Queen of the Prom. Yes, this was our first formal gathering as a class. As usual Mr. Wholley did a fantastic job helping us to organize the event; but, much of the credit belonged to our class officers co- presidents Terri Francis and Jeff Talbot, Vice-president Judi Marraffa, Treasurer Eileen Cox, and Secretary Suzanne Prove- ncher. What a night! 187 1 980 Senior Reception (Left to right) Fernanco Vasquez, Terri Francis, Joe Candelaria, Sue Twomey, Jeff Talbot, Nadine Bannister, Queen Chris Colvin, King Bob LeBlond, Sharon Gerolamo, Brian Moore, Mary Brophy, Don Provost, Tyla Thibodeau, and Ric Lewis. 188 fe. i i When the Class of 1980 decides to go formal, it does so with ‘a touch of class’. The Senior Reception was to be no exception. Following tradition, this year’s reception was held at the Chateau-de-ville in Saugus. Portraits of the couples attending were taken in front of the sweeping staircase and the Chateau’s colorful indoor fountain and foliage. The Reception was the complete eptitome of formal attire with top hats, tails, canes, and even a Rolls- Royce. Led by the band “Legacy”, the couples danced the evening away. Of course, the high- light of the evening came with the crowning of the queen and king. With a theme of “Keep the Fire Burning Bright”, this year’s reception proved to be a night of unforgettable memo- ries and magic. 191 Senior Luau The prediction of rain by the weather forecas- ters did not dampen the spirits of the Class of ’80 as they held their senior luau. The event as part of senior week activities was held at the Plummer Home at the Willows. Charlie Cheng of Pickering Wharf provided the sumptuous Hawaiin Feast. During the course of the early evening entertainment was provided by all of the students via games, music, frisbees, and baseball. The atmosphere was kept very lively by all of those attending and the weather forecasters were proven correct. BUT, it did not stop the Class of 1980 from having a great time. 195 1 980 Awards Ceremony I 196 1 ! On Thursday morning, June 5, the senior class gathered in the auditorium in cap and gown. Awards and scholarships were presented to nearly 100 seniors. Mary Beth Lynch received the Executive Women’s Award for excellence in Business and for being the top business smdent in all of Massachusetts. Randy Begin received the Stanley Tools Award for second place in national shop com- petition. Kathleen McKormack received the Kodak Award for her exceptional work in the Boston Globe Scholastic Arts Show which then went on to New York for national competition. 1980 Senior Banquet 200 The Senior Banquet for the Class of 1980 was held in the M. Ruth Norton Auditorium the evening before the Graduation Exercises. Each year this event of senior week activities brings to an end the four years of social life at SHS for the graduation class. Class historians Sue Tannatt and Jeff Talbot reminisced the four years at the high school. Wendy Poitras and Greg Green, as class lawyers, presented the last will and testament of the Class of 1980. Congratulations to Mr. Whooley and the banquet committee for doing a superb job, again! 2 03 i Graduation Exercises I I On June 6, high school life, as the class of 1980 well knew, came to an end. After the Invocation was read by Rever- end Manning, the father of one of the graduates, Mr. Dukakis spoke to the class on the value of government in the future. Daniel McHugh presented awards from the Andrews Fund to the top twelve sm- dents. Speeches were delivered by Mayor Levesque, who also presented the diplo- mas; our two valedictorians, Theresa Francis, and Cheryl Zoll; our two saluta- torians, Linda Copelas, and Sharon Gerolamo; and Edward Curtin, who was abruptly cut off by the wild throwing of hats as the seniors returned to their seats realizing that they were now high school graduates, at last. 207 1980 CLASS HISTORY Our Class History started four years ago on September 7 th. It was only a half day orientation for us freshmen and sophomores. The next day was I.D. Day. We all received those color coordinated picture cards (which) we still carry around with us where ever we go. The Class of ’80 had one big advantage being the first class to go the whole four years at the new Salem High School. We knew almost as much about this new school as the three classes ahead of us. For instance we had an Olympic size swimming pool on the fifth floor and a courtyard, with trees, picnic tables, a stage and a tunnel. We began our Sophomore year with our Class Officers Rick Lewis, Chris Colvin, Laury Baccari and Eileen Cox our Class Advisor, Mr. Wholley. Not only were our officers new at this business, but so was our “first time” advisor, Mr. Wholley. But the most memorable things about the year were that it was the year without the International Fair and the year parties turned into cultural experiences; because after all, in a classy building with a gym being called a Field House and a Library called an IMC or Instructional Media Center, you can’t call a party a party! Not only was this year memorable for us but for all New England with the Blizzard of ’78 which will never be forgotten. Our Junior year started with much excitement, now we were upper classmen, with big things to do. With our Class Officers Jeff Talbot, Terri Francis, Judi Marraffa, Sue Proveneher, and Eileen Cox close at hand and Mr. Meloy around somewhere, we presented our Junior Minstrel Show, “We’ve Got Magic To Do”. Then, within the same few weeks of February, were the below zero temperatures, the fire alarms and the Cotillion which was held in the Auditorium after much discussion. After looking at many halls, the Class of ’80 had to be different and hold our Junior Prom at the Thompson Country Club in North Reading. But of course, the Class of ’80 was the beginning of a new decade that was guaranteed to be different. Then it came, us . . . Seniors? It was quite hard for some of us to accept or act the role of a “Senior”, but as time went on we all fell right into our place, and that place was Leggs Hill! For only the Senior Class could party in a “dump”. For the first year Salem High would have a Powderpuff Football Team. Although we lost it was fun, because we were trained by a bunch of quitters, and the rest of the football team sat on the Beverly side. We were supposed to run the Consession Stand at the Football games, but it was soon learned that hotdogs could be sickening. Especially if served to the dogs, the bees, the ground, or served on a stick. It got pretty bad when we had to recruit juniors because all the seniors were attending the Classical Beavers Game. Then the cheerleaders held a dance which could have used a few more guys. The Football Team had an unexpected season. The Soccer Team had the “best season in Salem Soccer History”, becoming the North East Conference Champions even before the last game, which they lost. Then to loose the firsi state game oh well . . . The girls’ Basketball Team had another perfect season winning it all of course. Then the Cotillion; again it was held in the auditorium which was o.k., but our class officers Brian, Cheryl, Sue and Eileen knew we would rather have had it some place else. Under the direction of Wendy Poitras and assistant Suzanne Proveneher, and our adult advisor Mr. Talbot, we presented our show, with our theme “The Kids Are Alright” our kids did alright. The show was a success, and especially when our student producer Jeff Talbot took to painting a portrait of “Spring has Sprung and the Sap is Running” with a cast of appropriate characters. 208 The Senior Class Trip unsanctioned? Well that didn’t stop the many people who went to Florida. Although we were not all fortunate to go to Florida, those of us who did get away, to wherever, will never make a solid week of partying and how tired everyone was when it was over. Then the countdown started and there were lots of activities to keep us busy. The main goal was to pass four units in order to graduate. But as parties became numerous and studies very few, many of us fell behind. Then came those locker fires. The ones on sunny days were great, thanks; but the ones on the days it was pouring no thanks. There were two days of ticket sales that was extended a third because, well we all know why. The last day for seniors. May 23rd, wasn’t as rowdie as it should have been, cause Mr. Ed kept the iron hand very strong. For those of you who missed the “Blast Off’ in Orange House Cafeteria second lunch, you must have heard it, if not to bad. Senior week came before anyone realized it. They hate to say they told you so, but they told you so: Senior Week comes quick and is gone with a blink of the eye. We were the first and last class Mr. Wholley will ever advise. Not only are we special to him, but he is special to us. With all his help we’ve had a great senior week, so far. The Prom, held at the Chateau de Ville, was o.k., for those of us who did’nt loose our booze. The band supplied some really good tunes and the King and Queen and Courts all looked very surprised. The Luau, despite the rain, was fun for all. However, it did get cool, and those few crazy soles who went swimming looked rather cold. Although we didn’t have a band, the Disc Jockey was o.k. along with the frisbee games. Before the Awards Ceremony, Mr. Box read a list of numerous owed books which varied in our school studies. And everyone will be wondering what the title of that book was that Kathy Walsh owed that cost $5.00 dollars. For those who did not receive an award today it was pretty boring. But congramlations to those who earned and received their awards. Now as we sit here suddenly realizing this is almost the end, we can begin to look back at all those things we have done. Tommorrow’s the end, and surely there will be smiles and tears. Maybe not to many tears, but some of us will miss this place. This is our Class History and to the Class of 1980, good luck. 209 CLASS WILL We, of Salem High, the Class of 1980 put forth on this very day June fifth.

A W| m JB 0s ' 1 1 MX. ii i’ H T BSiiiB r ' i k:. ' i wBi 1 980 SHS Marching Band 214 Sure everyone goes to football games to watch the team. But why wasn’t the concession stand as crowded this year during half time? Because the people would rather sit back and be entertained than fight the crowds. And why not? Under the direction of Mr. Shelly and Mr. Madru, the band offered a new type of entertainment. A few examples of the highlights of the season were forming three rotating circles like a three ring circus, shouting and running off the field, and even dividing into two separate bands to have a contest in which the spectators would vote which was the best. Sure people come to see the game. But who can resist watching over one hundred kids stretching the length of the football field do a dancing kick- step, broadway style, while playing Tea for Two? Not only does the band support the school dur- ing football season, but all year ’round with con- certs and parades. Thanks, band, for another great year. 4 Kiwanis Key Cluh 216 The Kiwanis Key Club is one of the new organizations at Salem High School. Under the sponsorship of the Salem Kiwanis Club and the advisorship of Mr. Leonard Box, the club’s activities over the year were very successful. Club president Patty Beuaregard and her club officers organized two assembly programs “Meet the Superin- tendent” and “Ron Burton” for the students. They still found time to conduct a Dance Marathon for the Muscular Dystrophy Association of America and netted over two thousand dollars for Jerry Lewis’ Kids. Membership to the Kiwanis Key Club is open to all students who would like to be involved in this fine social service organization. 11 When Superintendent Henry O’Donnell appeared before the Kiwanis Key Clubbers his central mes- sage was to be proud of your school and to do everything possible to be involved in positive ac- tions whether it be academics or extra-curricular in nature. Ron Burton, former Patriots football player, visited the high school under the sponsor- ship of our local Kiwanians. His message was very clear. “Do your best, try your best with confi- dence.” Both assembly programs were well re- ceived by the student body. Yearbook Staff It is not an easy task developing and publish - 1 ing a two-hundred and forty page yearbook,! but the 1980 staff along with a number of; support personnel were able to meet every 1 deadline. Under the advisorship of Mr. Leonard Box, the 1980 yearbook staff worked diligently to insure that this multi-thousand dollar publication was accomplished. The ' Yearbook Staff is proud to congramlate the; Class of 1980 for their four years of ac-l complishments at SHS.
