Administration 3 Dedication We, the Class of 1988. proudly dedicate this year's Clarion to Mr. Joseph Vacca. Not only has he been a guide throughout our lives, he has been a guide to many others as well. As master of ceremo- nies Uncle Joe's sportiveness and jocular attitude have been a hit at traditional yearbook functions. Mr. Vacca has also enabled us to receive the edu- cation we need by planning academic schedules, assisting us with our college plans, and leading us along the road to adulthood. Without his attention and support we would be unable to say. Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now.

The lighthearted spirit she has given us. with that un- forgetable wink of her eye. has always been re- assuring. We will never forget Mrs Susi for she was and still is an inspiration to us all.

Unfortunately, the kids are so so- phisticated today that they don't even bother with excuses. -Mr. Sanders These days, you have to be creative to come up with a believable excuse why you didn't do your homework. Sometimes generic excuses such as, “I didn't understand the assignment, or my book is in my locker, work well. But teachers don't always buy these. They come back with something like, I'm always here between 8:30 and 9:00, or they say, you can bring it to me after class. How do the students of to- day get around this? The an- swer is not simple. First, they could start with word choice. For instance, the classic, My dog ate it, has never worked. Look at the simplicity of this sentence. There is no room for the imagination to make the impossible, reality. But what if we changed this statement to My new puppy chewed my assignment to shreds. Do you see the difference? Anyone who has a puppy knows the destructive powers of this pet. Secondly, if you're not good with words, a simple tactic to confuse your teacher is rec- ommended. Create an ex- cuse that puts the blame on their shoulders. For an exam- ple, you could say, It's on your desk, or I gave it to you in the hall. Don't you remem- ber? Both of these explana- tions truly battle your teacher. They fear their memory is fad- ing from them and frantically try to remember where they put your assignment Mean- while, you do the missing pa-' per in studyhall and say you found it at the bottom of your locker. Making a succesful excuse- takes more than just saying the best thing off the top of your head. It takes a lot of thinking and scheming. Remember, this is an acquired skill. Practice' makes perfect! R. Ambroz K. DiPace R. Henderson S. Herholz J. Jackson L. Kennedy T. Kirby N. Klemm Barbara Bucciferro What are the diffences be- tween being a Senior Advisor and a Freshman Advisor? For three years the students work very closely together. The Freshman advisorship is trying because you have to get to know the students and you learn how to work to- gether. By the time the Senior year rolls around, things run much more smoothly. It is interesting to watch the students develop and grow! -Miss Bucciferro Richards Sanders Only minor and superficial dif- ferences separate a Freshman and Senior advisor. The similarities are the important things. For any class the advisors are guides, not rulers. If the advisor gets too in- volved, student responsibility is drained and the class does not learn much. The advisor's role is to give advice, not rules, be a friend, not a tyrant. -Mr. Sanders Officers First Row: S. Lane, Pres; S. VanArsdal, Treas; K. Smith, Sec. L. Kennedy, V.P. T. Lambert S. Lane A.

Your alarm goes off. but do you get up? Of course not. You hit the snooze button and mumble. Just five more minutes. Sound familiar? It's a prime example of PROCRASTINATION! Unfortunately, it doesn't stop here. It has worked its way into our classrooms and studies. For instance, do you remember when you delib- erately asked your teacher an off the subject question? Ah. yes. It it all becoming so clear. But let's take a closer look. You tried to get your teacher off on a tangent because you didn't do your homework, right? The ques- tion is why wasn't your homework done? Fate? No. PROCRASTINATION! You thought you had plenty of time to do it after dinner. But you forgot it was Thursday night, the best night for T V.I Definitely no time for home- work. Or what about week- ends? I think we bring home- work home on Friday, to plan when we can do it on Monday. There is no way of escap- ing this mental monster. As you can see, procrastina- tion has become second nature to us.

Whistles blew early Saturday morning to kick off a day of aggressive soccer and continued for hours until all four Spartan teams came out victorious. Alumni players joined in the fun for a soc- cer match as well The crowning of the King and Queen and a splendid halftime performance by the Marching Spartans, under the direction of Miss Cerro and drum major Jen Kling, made the day complete. Later, students and guests danced the night away while Coach Ordway breathed a sigh of relief saying, Until next year! As We Older Grow Homecoming 1987 . . . certainly was exciting and there were some new additions to the schedule of events. Traditions were kept, but this year the Varsity Club decided to crown some male royalty as well as the usual lucky girl. Another noticeable change was warmth-the Artie winds stayed away for once.

Mr. Ordway Highly Motivated, Highly Motivated!! The 1987 soccer season for the boys' varsity team was a memorable one. as the Spartans finished third in the Schoharie County League, their best perfor- mance in four years. The team dropped their first two league games, but their spirit remained high as they reeled off five consecutive wins, one an upset victory over perennial powerhouse Greenville. Al- though the season came to an end in the first round of sectionals, the Spartans can be proud of their 1987 accomplishments. The team was not without individuals receiving post season honors, as sophomores Brian Buczek. Scott VanArsdal and Shawn Desmond gained sec- ond team All-Star status. Joining them was senior Dan Parsons, who was also voted to the Fort Plain All-Tourney team. The Spartans rounded out the first team All-Stars with Bill Smith and Heath Lynk being recognized as two of the top twelve players in the league Heath and Bill received even more recognition as both were chosen as Section II, Class D All-Stars. It was a great year as the entire Spartan team once again proved that Sharon Springs can achieve excellence on the soccer field!

With eight seniors and nine other su- per-talented players they were a team their opponents feared the most. The Schoharie County Champs, in our eyes anyway, fin- ished 9-3 in the league Excitement en- tered the town of Sharon Springs when the news was out that the Lady Spar- tans were playing for a chance to go to Long Island. Winning the Section II. Class D title for the second year in a row gave them a good chance at making the state finals At the regional semi-final game emotions flew, as well as butterflies, when the Spartans reached their destination to face S.S.

The volleyball team, under Coaches Lauzon and Adams, had a good attitude about their sport even if they weren't always number one. We had a lot of fun just playing and if we lost, we'd keep trying, said Carleen Roberts.

Our expectations weren't very high from day one, when we had four or five players show up for practice However. I don't believe any one of us was prepared for what was to come. It was the kind of season that I wouldn't wish on my own worst enemy. We concluded the year with a wretched 2-13 record. We lost a key player to illness after the first game Then we watched him return late in the season only to be moved up to Varsity a few games thereafter. The boys did try. We won our first game of the Christmas Tournament and received a second place trophy. One of the few bright mo- ments we had. The boys deserve praise just for the endurance they showed in rough times. Nothing is more difficult than working hard in practice when you know you only have a little chance of winning The bottom line is that it is still only a game. - Mike Manko, Coach 46 It's Been A Curvy Year The Boy's Varsity Basketball team had a roller coast- er season in '87-'88, as exemplified by their speedy wins at home over Richmondville and Berne and their downhill performances against Greenville. The season was also filled with thrilling victories and narrow de- feats. In the long run team and individual accomplish- ments were achieved Senior Heath Lynk had a great season. A leading area scorer all year long. Heath was the runner up in the Schoharie County League M.V.P. voting and made the first team all-stars. Doug Wilder's steady performance also made him a second team all-star. Bill Smith and Dave Cross join Heath and Doug as S.C.L. exceptional seniors. Hope is not entirely lost for the future as super sopho- mores Scott VanArsdal and Justin Bolster were large contributors to the varsity Spartans this year. The team hopes to ride up the roller coaster in 1989. 48 First Row M Hornauer. Coach Becker, A Weitz Second row D Boyle, M Van- Heertum, H Murphy. Third Row M Thatcher, C. VanHeertum. R Blakeslee ft's Not The Quantity That Counts it's The Quality! The Girls' Varsity Basketball team, better known as The Ironwomen of Sharon, were a huge success this year cap- turing the Schoharie County title from Middleburg. These girls had a huge obstacle to overcome in each game they faced—the lack of players. Many times they were forced to finish games with four players but were still able to come out on top. These players could tell you it's not easy. With only three or four girls showing up to most of the practices, it was hard to function as a unit. They fought the odds and the schools who had four teams in one and pulled out ahead Deb Boyle, our Secretary of Defense led the team. Heidi Murphy, the Net Profit and Middleburg's favorite punching bag, led the team in three pointers, Chris Van- Heertum, the Chairwoman of the Boards led in her fam- ous munch or blocked shots, Mary Thatcher, the Key Controller , led in rebounding and her box out , Melanie VanHeertum, our Firestarter was the hot head of the team, while Missy Hornauer was our Reserve Account . Our four starting seniors will be greatly missed since they have been the base of the team throughout their high school years. Desire and drive has made them a classy team who are able to hold their heads high. This is the kind of drive that makes winners.

That's music to our ears! 56 Making The Difference The 1988 CLARION Staff Photo runners with photographer Pam Guernsey Although the hallways and classrooms of S.S.C.S. look the same as they always have, the current yearbook staff has created a sig- nificantly different CLARION to record the year's activities. It isn't easy to do things differently, but noth- ing stops a Spartan. Creative editors Jim Keaney. Krista Hayner. Chris VanHeertum. and Jennifer Kling worked long hard hours. Dan Par- sons. business manager, insured financial stability. Artist Jim Keaney created the cover design and art work within the book while Pam Guern- sey's photography was supplemented by Joyce Lynk. Heath Lynk. Paul Empie and Deb- bie Boyle Support for innovations in publication style and technique came from the newly estab- lished Journalism Yearbook course The CLARION reflects life in 1988- a time to remember. journalism Yearbook Staff A Special Thanks . . . The CLARION Staff of 1988 would Ike to thank Mrs Lane for EVERYTHING! You deserve a box of chocolate donuts! Just As Long As You . A Note To History It could be said that the night was a note to history. The 1987 Junior Prom Stand By Me was a huge success! We were the first class to hold a prom outside of school, and the Tryon Inn was a unique setting There was a lot of hard work put into the decor for the royal gala. The room was a shower of purple and silver balloons. It was nice . . . more personable and quaint and decorated in good taste. said Coach Ordway. The crowning, the room, and the band 'Von Rudder' were all excel- lent. said Sally Lauzon. class advisor. It was a very fun night. 60 Stand By Me It's Hard To Part The Class of 1988 has a special thank you for Miss Sally Lauzon, science teacher, for the three years (too few) as an advisor and friend. Our class was privileged by the timing that led her to be our advisor and homeroom monitor. As an advisor, her dedication got us moving on vital fund raisers where, if we'd been left alone, we might have doomed ourselves to class insolvency. Mostly we will remember her as a friend. Her frankness and youth made one feel that she was someone to whom you could talk, someone with life experi- ences. but not out of touch with our generation. Homerooms with “Sal were always a bright and enjoyable place so that students from other rooms would get passes to partake in the lively forum that was activity period at 3C. Miss Lauzon is so much a part of our class that some of us are going to be a little surprised that she isn't going to be graduat- ing with us. Her presence in so many facets of our lives makes her one of us. The Class of '88 bids farewell with our warmest regards. And we forgive you for the time you gave most of us “the pit for leaving 10 seconds early! Mhen Friends Are Dear Mr Dwight Lane is Sharon Springs' version of Welcome Back. Kotter. After graduating from Sharon, he never really thought that he would be back teaching. In high school at S.S.C.S., Mr. Lane participated in many clubs, class plays, FFA. baseball, basketball and was the art director of the yearbook. His favorite and best subject was math and he still says that his math teacher. Marge Empie. was the best teacher he ever had. Mr. Lane received a Regents Scholarship and at- tended Cornell University. He graduated from Cornell with a Bachelor of Science degree and received his Masters of Educa- tion from SUNY Albany several years later Mr. Lane is an original. He has succeeded in a number of occupations including politics, sales and owning and operating a restaurant. However, he is a teacher and adviser first As adviser of the Class of 1988 there have been a lot of ups and downs, but only fond memories will be shared Mr. Lane is best remembered for his instant field trips and movies in classes. He will best remem- ber his class because of their broad diversity of interests Some of Mr Lane's last words as adviser are Select your own goals and strive for them regardless of obstacles which may tempt you to deviate from the course.
