Tantasqua Regional High School - Tantasquan Yearbook (Sturbridge, MA)

Text from Pages 1 - 176 of the 1986 volume:

TANTASQUA REGIONAL SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL Brimfield Brookfield Holland Sturbridge Wales tepping out, into, and away from Tantasqua, each student at the senior high becomes a pedestrian of academic, social, and practical life. For those still coming into the Tantasqua experience, the underclassmen, there are yet many areas to explore. With it’s own spirit and style, each class has the unique qualities that will enable it to go a long way. The graduating class is already making strides away from our educational home. Hours of study, conversation, laughter, and learning will finally come together on the first of June, 1986, and the seniors will graduate to a higher testing ground. For our preparation, we owe the faculty our deepest gratitude. It is due to their intelligence, insight, and infinite patience, that we, the students, learn to guide ourselves along the paths we choose. Thank you. Education has for it’s object the formation of character. — Herbert Spencer eerEe Perey SENIORS Caps and Gowns une I, 1986 marks an important milestone in the lives of Tantasqua’s seniors. On that day, the class will graduate from the bells and schedules of Tantasqua and commence life after high school. The members of the Class of 1986 have had many experiences together. Some of those memories date back to eighth grade, when most of the class embarked on a whale- watching trip. The eighth graders were collectively exposed to the rigors of sea life, complete with stormy waters and seasickness. As sophomores, the class again proved to be one that can work together, this time ina more frivolous light. To the surprise of everyone, the tenth graders won the coveted first place spot in the Spirit Week contest, previously held exclusively by seniors. And when the spirit contest came around again during the past school year, the Class of 1986 did not give up its position. Tantasqua’s confines can hold the seniors no longer. The Class of 1986 is stepping out! ] OUT OF THE FRYING PAN AND INTO THE FIRE The fall and winter of our Senior year greeted many of us with the arduous task of writing essays for applications, seeking teacher recommendations, filling out piles of forms, and going to interviews. However, these students think it is worth the time and effort to further their education. Students at Tantasqua apply to a wide variety of schools. Depending on their goals, they may apply to a junior college, or an lvy League School. Though most students prefer to stay in the area, whether it be at UMass or Harvard, some venture out into unknown territory. They may be seeking a warmer climate, and head down south, or a different way of life, and go for the Midwest. In general, students greet college as an experience in growth and independence that will test their scholastic abilities, and a new, different life that will demand all that the student has to give. At Tantasqua, there are students with different interests, and their choice of colleges reflects their traits. There are many students who are interested in a technical field, and apply to WPI, RPI, or MIT. There are also quite a few who are interested in a liberal arts education, and their choices range from a large university to a less threatening situation at a smaller college. The financial situation also guides students’ choices. With college costs easily rising above ten thousand dollars a year, many opt for a state school. There, they can get a good educa- tion, without the added burden on the pocketbook. Wherever college may take us, and however high our aspira- tions, our memories and knowledge gained at Tantasqua are ours forever. William Allard Jay Benoit - L: Cold Molson DL: working for aL: $.S.

For the first time in twelve years, we are confronted with the choice of going to school in September. It is a difficult choice to make. Many Seniors, who are unsure of what they really want, decide to work for a while until they can definitely decide if they want to go on to college. Still others are absolutely sure that college is not for them, and they will enter the work force immediately. The majority of us are looking forward to graduation because we want to know what life after High School is all about. We want to start leading that life, and see what is in store for us. However, inside of everyone there is a sense of fear of the unknown. Suddenly, we go from a programmed life into a life of choices: our life, to lead as we feel we should. When asked if he was looking forward to life after High School, one student responded, “To not look forward to it would be not to grow,” and that is what graduation is all about: growing into a new, unknown stage of life, learning, making mistakes, and deal- ing with situations and problems that arise. No matter what your choice, you have grown through making that choice, and growth is never bad.

Their friendliness, support, and school spirit have been much appreciated by everyone in the Tantasqua community. There is no doubt that this year’s juniors and sophomores will continue to proudly carry on the traditions of academic, athletic, and artistic excellence that reign at Tantasqua Senior High School. 38 UP AND COMING: JUNIORS J.

Shimansky 6l The Sole of Our Education | n today’s world of fast-paced technology, it’s sometimes difficult to remem- ber the individuals behind it all; a teacher is one such person. By showing young students the great vistas open to questioning minds, they set in motion the great wheel of progress. They are the power behind politics, science, and literature. On a personal level, they are the basis of our education. Tantasqua’s faculty are motivators and friends. They’re there for a problem or a triumph, in sorrow or in joy. For this, the students give their heartfelt thanks to the teachers, counselors, and administrators of Tantasqua. 62 The Sole of Our Education New Life In the Biology Department Stephen Vose began teaching at Tantasqua last spring upon the retirement of Paul O’Brien. Working with a background in | several different fields of biol- ogy, Mr. Vose will be trying to inject some new life into the science program. He has al- ready initiated a project 64 whose objective is to evaluate the condition of many lakes in the surrounding areas. The program encompasses eight lakes and rivers. In this pro- gram, students collect data on a daily and weekly basis. Each day students monitor the tem- perature of the air and water. 4 L. Beaulieu Drafting Students take water samples once a week and analyze them. By recording data on a lake’s levels of acidity, iron, and plankton, Mr. Vose and his stu- dents hope to learn more about the condition of the many bo- dies of water in our towns. P.

Czyzewski Machine Shop ‘ f New Ideas in the French Department A new part of the foreign lan- guage staff this year is Janet Levine, who is occupying the spot vacated for a year by Ma- rie Caruso. Mrs. Levine has had an advantage by beginning at the end of last year, thus getting a chance to know most of the students she will have this year. It’s the students whom she holds in high es- teem; she is also impressed with the administration and other faculty. Mrs. Levine feels that the student body is of a comfortable size, which is reflected in a proportional number of students in her classes. Her classes, which she finds enjoyable, include French Il, Ill, IV, and V. She tries to give each class a work- 66 load that is appropriate to the level of the course, yet still challenging to even her top students. In her higher classes, Mrs. Levine is integrating in- formal materials with an hon- ors-course teaching style in order to make French a less te- dious study at such levels. Her French V class has begun a French newspaper, called “Soup du Jour’, in which the class prints articles in fashion, political action, sports, foreign exchanges, and guidance of- fice bulletins, as well as short stories and critiques. A small class makes such informal pro- jects possible. Both French IV and V will be putting on their own in-class play, as well as in- terviews and newscasts. ——T ‘ a a J. Davol Carpentry Shop V4 A.

Theriault English Math Special Education 7I The Sole of Our Education One of this years new teach- ers is Mr. Thompson of the Art department. One of the rea- sons for the hiring of Mr. Thompson was a concern of the lack of enrollment in art over the last couple years. He will be bringing many different aspects of art into his teach- ing. As well as the basics, he brings other genres of art, in- cluding jewelry and sculpture. He has the advantage of being able to experiment because of a one year term, hoping that some of these experiments will be established in the future art courses. An overall goal that he has for the art department is to make it more community-ori- ented, the reason being we have to make art more visible to convey its importance and function in the school and sur- rounding area. People who haven't participated in art don’t realize that interdisci- planary art is produced by the combination of science, math and history. It is this style of art that can be seen in Mr. Thompson’s classroom. A way to draw the public’s attention is to make very visual and visi- ble art as Mr. Thompson's classes are trying to achieve through several large scale outdoor projects like mobiles, murals and perhaps a Totem Pole for the Forum. Emphasiz- ing the fact that although art- ists are reknown for their soli- darity they can group together despite their diversities. Mr. Thompson aimes to expose his students to real art. He feels that there is a lack of knowl- edge in the history of art. The ability to use one’s visual pow- ers of observation is another vital aspect of teaching art. 72 S. Thompson Art The various techniques and processes of art are consid- ered less important because without the ability to perceive your environment, you would just have paint on canvas but not a painting. Art, being a form of free expression, has to have a place where you can go to gather ideas to inspire art. Mr. Thompson hopes to achieve the type of atmo- sphere which stimulates and permits growth in an artist. The way to acquire this is to have the type of teacher-stu- dent relationship which makes the student feel comfortable as if it were more a student talking to an artist than a stu- dent talking to a teacher. Mr. Thompson has asked and got- ten, in return for this atmo- sphere which allows freedom of expression, several serious art students. He enjoys these students and generally the whole student body of the school, being an ex-Tantas- quan himself. He sees the stu- dent body as a diverse crowd with a lot of creative energy to be harnessed, which will be his greatest challenge this year. P.

Ie: The yearbook staff wel- comes this opportunity to make some sort of palpable apology for the error of omis- sion of these three people from last year’s edition. Obviously, there is no legiti- mate, acceptable excuse for omitting the picture of our Vo- cational Director, Mr. Pie- terse, but it happened. Fur- thermore, it should be men- tioned at this time that this is in no way to be regarded as a slight to this fine gentleman. It is with the highest respect and esteem that we hold this wor- thy gentleman and it is also hoped that his understanding of the oversight will be forth- coming. And what is there to be said about our inimitable Athletic Director, Michael a. , , wl al oe A. ERREDE, INDUSTRIAL ARTS DEPARTMENT 76 _M. DUBE, ATHLETIC DIRECTOR MR. BLAKE EATS HUMBLE PIE ; q ; é “Juice” Dube. He has always maintained a soft spot in our hearts here at Tantasqua and to omit his prestigious title as Athletic Director is another sin of omission. Mike, we apologize; please forgive! Last but not least, Mr. A. Erredel It goes without saying that Mr. Errede’s contributions to the Tantasqua family have been of the most substantial sort. He is _ one of those people who are always willing to give of them-_ selves to students and faculty — alike. And omitting Mr. Errede, who is the whole Industrial Arts Department is another nearly unforgiveable sin. Dear Mr. Errede, please accept our abject apologies and be as- sured that it won't happen — again — this year at least! REINS SA eee il SS Lee ; ; | ; dll SPORTS Playing the Field thletics at Tantasqua has always been an important and successful part of the school. Through hard work, competition, and fun, the school has been able to build an impressive record of success and a respected reputation. Each and every oppo- nent knows that they have played a determined group of athletes who play to win... with class. Over the years, Tantasqua has managed to achieve some degree of satisfaction in all the offered sports. Whether it be a Border Conference title, a district win, or a victory over an established winner, each year adds to the Warrior prestige. We take pride in our teams and respect all adversaries on the playing field. Tantasqua is able to blend pride, competition, and fun with a winning reputation. — Thanks to all coaches, athletes, and fans who make the Tantasqua sports tradition possible. 78 Nis: Sh TAT RAR CLEATS ON THE DIAMOND The Tantasqua Warrior baseball team has always had a winning tradition, but the 1985 season proved to be a letdown in that tradition. The Warriors ended up with a record of 8 wins and I2 losses. The starting lineup consist- ed of only two seniors: first baseman pitcher Chris St. Jean and catcher Matt Cook. Both were the co-captains of the ’85 squad and will be sorely missed in the 1986 season. At second base was freshman John Cook. During the season he turned in some spectacular fielding and towards the end showed he is capable of hitting at the varsity level. Junior Steve Tieri was the shortstop for the Warriors. At the plate, Tieri tore up the diamond with solid hitting and ended with a batting average of well over .300. Third baseman Mike Southern enjoyed a good sec- ond half of the season. During the latter half he batted .300, hit all three of his homeruns, and drove in lO of his I8 runs. In left field was the second half of the Southern Duo, Tim. Just a freshman, Tim proved to be more than capable of holding down a starting varsity posi- tion. He ended up with a bat- ting average of nearly .400. A memorable moment was Tim’s trip over the center field fence and into the pond during a cru- cial game (by the way, he didn’t catch the ball). centerfield was the powerful Jim Garcia. He, too hit in the mid-.300’s and was one of the team leaders in extra-base hits. Rounding the outfield was sophomore Mike Matteson. He was a steadying force in the field and came up with some timely hitting. One of the best individual perfor- mances by a Warrior was turned in by junior Ryan Cox. His batting average remained around the .400 mark during the whole season. He led the team in hits, homeruns, and numerous other categories. His pitching, however, was be- low his 1984 level, as was the remainder of the Warrior pitching staff. The 1986 Warrior baseball team looks forward to recap- turing its past form and this task looks promising with the return of many starters and some solid players who played with the junior varsity team in 1985.

We received no information, fig- ures, or other statistics that would have enabled us to print a spread on the team.

BASES LOADED FOR VARSITY SOFTBALL Our 1985 softball team, led by captains Kari Kastango and Kerry LaFleche, had a strong season. The team played twen- ty games, winning twelve and losing eight, which was enough to once again qualify for the District Tournament; howev- er, because of rained out, res- cheduled games, the team qualified one day too late to compete. At the conclusion of the sea- son, Kari Kastango was select- ed for the team’s most valu- able player award, and Kerry LaFleche for the unsung hero At the very top, Kari Kastango backs up Mary Duff at second base.

Soph- omores Sharyl White, Kerry Nasse, Jan Hemingway, and Tania Sladdin powered an of- fense that scored an average of eighteen runs per game. Freshman co-captains Tammy Gresenz and Suzanne Wheaton hit .519 and .704, respectively, and Wheaton also compiled a Above, Jaci Amiro takes the corner at first base. Some team members look over the scorebook and their team from the sidelines. 84 9-1 pitching record. Class- mates Cindy Lawrence, Sue Nelson, Elinor Celuzza, Missy Gagnon, Jen Cantara, Kelly Moore, and the versatile Jaci Amiro all played key roles in Warrior wins. The JV squad under Coach Joe Earls is 33-8 over the last three years, which bodes well for future years. At left, Tania Sladdin rounds first base.

The individual star of the season was co-captain Mike Holley, who was first in Cen- tral Massachusetts in the low hurdles. Mike went on to place sixth in the state meet and seventh in the New England meet, setting a new school re- cord of 39.9 seconds for the event.

Much of the team was made up of upperclassmen who held the top positions on the team. Al- though the order of players was subject to change, the general seeding arrangement was Mike Sladdin, Jean Des- champs, and Pete Metcalfe in the first, second, and third sin- gles positions, respectively; Jason McCallum and Dave Above, Pete Metcalfe gets down for a low shot.

SUCCESS ON THE GREEN Tantasqua golf had its most successful season in the histo- ry of the school. The team compiled a record of 13-I-l. Tantasqua was 7-I| against Bor- der Conference teams to cap- ture the conference title for the second year in a row. The team was led by captain and MVP Mike Simpson, who often shot rounds within a stroke or two of par. Simpson, Todd Cantara, and Jamie LaMothe were voted Border Confer- ence All-Stars for their out- standing play. LaMothe’s re- cord in matches was 15-0. Equally important to the team was the play of David Hamblin, who often shot the best score of the day. Hamblin was select- 92 ed as the team’s Unsung Hero. The steady play of Mike Mar- tel contributed to the team’s success. A highlight of the sea- son was when Martel birdied two holes in a row to clinch Tantasqua’s match against Quaboag. Walter Herrick and Mike Tiberii often added the final punch which enabled Tan- tasqua to roll over opponents in the majority of matches. The season ended with back to back victories over David Prouty and Leicester, two of the strongest teams in Massa- chusetts. Many years may pass before Tantasqua has an- other golf team as successful team as this one. Above, Jamie LaMothe swings softly. At right, Mike Simpson makes a chip.

The 1985 football season was one of contrasts. The Warriors began the season by trouncing Prouty High, 2I-6, and ended it in the mud at Shepard Hill, los- ing 0-23 and establishing a fi- nal record of 3 wins and 7 losses. However, a season is made up of more than wins and losses: who could forget the heart and enthusiasm of Paul “Midget” Hayes, the courage of Rick Sears, the “One Armed Bandit’, the QB sacks by Bud- dy Pratt, the play of Bill “Toast’”” Dorney, Tantasqua’s Above, the team huddles on the field.

The 1985 season brought toa close one of the most out- standing careers ever at THS as Co-captain John Degnan led the team in tackles for the fourth year in a row; Degnan was chosen as a Border Con- ference All-Star for the third consecutive year, and his all around play and leadership were inspirational to all. italia ike | Top, the team surveys the play.

The team once again qualified for District competi- tion and found themselves placed fourth, with the best overall record in Central Mass Division I. This honor gave them the right to a bye in the first round and to be the host team in the second round of play. Keefe Tech defeated the Warriors with 45 seconds left on the clock by a score of | toO in that game. Tri-captains for the year were Steve Tieri, Allan Waters, and Mark Crompton. Steve Tieri led the team in scoring with a total of 20 goals, and 7 assists for the season. The team as a whole scored a total of 50 goals and 34 assists. Goal- ie Matt Rousseau racked up 5 shut-outs; he was also one of four Warriors selected to the Border Conference All-Star team. The others to receive the same honor were Steve Tieri at forward, Mark Cromp- 96 ton at halfback, and Allan Wa- ters at fullback. Senior members of the team are as follows: Steve Tieri, Al- lan Waters, Mark Crompton, Matt Rousseau, Mike Southern, Mike Williams, and Matt Burek. Mike Southern received the Unsung Hero award, and Allan Waters was the recipient of the Most Valuable Player award. The Wyman Award was given to Mark Crompton and Steve Tieri. Dean Dickinson, Scott Mar- tin, and Bob Williams will lead the team as tri-captains in 1986. ee. : ht noe At left, Mark Crompton concentrates on a boot.

TITLEHOLDERS ON THE FIELD This year, our girls’ soccer team won the Border Confer- ence championship. This marks the first time that any girls’ sport here has won a Bor- der Conference title; other teams have come close in the past, but this was THE YEAR. Our title was obtained by de- feating Auburn High, 3-0, in the final league game of the season. The game was played in Auburn, and a win was es- sential to securing the cham- pionship. Our girls came through in a convincing man- ner, and history was made. The team’s regular season record was Il wins, 3 losses, and 3 ties. A loss in the District tournament to Westford Academy closed the season, but the joyous memories will live on. Senior members of the team were Co-captains Mary Duff and Kerry Bergstrom, Ga- brielle Fiset, Beth Jensen, and Jesse Penn. The players voted Mary Duff as the team’s Most Valu- able Player and Gabrielle Fiset as the Unsung Hero. 100 Border Conference All-Star selections were forwards Mary Duff and Heather Reece, halfbacks Sarah Roy and Sue Nelson, fullback Gabrielle Fi- set, and wing B renda Worrell. Leading scorers this year were Brenda Worrell with |4 goals, Heather Reece with 10, and Sue Nelson with 6. Howev- er, we had a well-balanced spread of goals and assists throughout the squad that scored a total of 55 goals with 27 scored against. Who could ever forget our defensive strength, anchored by Laurie O’Grady, Gabrielle Fiset, Krys Kastberg, Dawn Schroth and Heather Smith? Whenever we had to stop a particular oppo- nent from scoring, it was Julie Kotsifas who drew the assign- ment. This concludes our second year of girls’ soccer and the program looks excellent. We are looking for the addition of a junior varsity team to absorb our abundance of players and to serve as a training ground. Onward and upward for girls’ soccer at THS!

FIELD HOCKEY MAKES THS HISTORY The field hockey team’s 1985 fall season surpassed recent past seasons due to the exten- sive number of girls who turned out to play on this year’s team. Their overall per- formance improved as the sea- son progressed due to in- creased playing time and skills learned in practice. Most of the team’s opponents played two or three more games than the Warriors; the team played tough in all their games, and five of Tantasqua’s eight oppo- nents participated in post-sea- son play. Although the War- 102 riors lost several games after leading early on, the team came close to upsetting Qua- boag and Shepard Hill, as well as accomplishing a first in THS field hockey history: beating Auburn twice in one season. Junior Heather Sherman was selected as the team’s Most Valuable Player, and sopho- more Jaci Amiro received the Unsung Hero Award. The War- riors’ overall record was 4 wins, 8 losses, and | tie; their Border Conference tally was 3 wins and 7 losses.

THE YEAR THAT ALMOST WASN’T Cross country runners are becoming a dying breed at Tantasqua; this year saw only five runners turn out for the team, which is the bare mini- mum needed to compete. Despite the prospects for a dismal season, the team won the first three meets of the season, two of them with only five runners — a feat no other Tantasqua team has accom- plished. The Warriors’ win against Auburn gave the Dan- dies their first Border Confer- ence defeat in over IO years. The other two wins were against Bartlett and South- bridge. Hopes for a Border Confer- ence title were high as the Warriors went against Shep- ard Hill, the toughest competi- tion in the league. All hope, however, was dashed when the Rams defeated the War- riors by 7 points. After the defeat by Shepard Above right, Chris Toombs presses on to the finish. At right, Paul Tremblay leads the pack, with teammates Mark DiFabio and Mark Kocher close behind. 104 Hill, the season was plagued with troubles, and the team lost momentum. Due to the ab- sence of key runners at certain meets, the Warriors suffered a narrow, one-point defeat at Bartlett and an embarrassing loss to Southbridge, their only win of the year. Two runners quit the team, and several oth- ers were side-lined with injur- ies, leaving only three runners to compete in the District meet. The Warriors ended the sea- son with a disappointing re- cord of 4 wins and 8 losses. Despite the poor record, two runners, Paul Tremblay and Mark Kocher, were selected as Border Conference All-Stars. As a team, The Warriors weren't very victorious, but as individuals and friends, they were. Each runner gave his best, and that’s all anybody can ask. At left, Paul Tremblay races towards the finish line. Below left and right, Sherri Quattro- celli and Lisa Heller reach the home stretch.

You're backed by Warrior fans! And to lead those fans, we have the ever-spirited THS Cheerleaders. Whether it be soccer, cross country, football, or basketball, you can be sure of support and encouragement. Dedication and committ- ment are a must to make it through just one year of cheer- ing, and lots of this year’s squad members have been cheering since their days at TJHS. Each spring, after a week of practice, tryouts are held; 10 Varsity and 10 Junior Varsity Cheerleaders are chosen. In August, representatives from this group attend a cheering camp to update cheers and perfect skills. This year’s campers, Holly Cantara, Donna Krans, Kathy Boccia, and Marti Sullivan, brought home the Grand Champs Trophy from the All-Star Cheerleading Camp held at Worcester State College. The girls work throughout the summer to shape up and do the ground work for the up- coming seasons. Come Sep- tember, it’s practice, practice, and more practice until the first games. Throughout the school year, these girls lead THS spirit in many ways. Se- cret cheerleaders, pom rou- tines, hello cheers, rallies, run- throughs, pillow cases, tee shirts, decorating, guest ap- pearances, cakes, fundraisers, and posters are traditional du- ties which are faithfully taken care of with pride and class. The “cheering year” ends in March when our Varsity Squad enters the David Prouty Cheerleading Tournament. After the 1984-1985 cheering season, Leslie Cooley was hon- ored with the MVP Award, and Jennifer Sullivan received the Unsung Hero Award. Above right, Alison Brown and Donna Krans in action.

MODEL BASKETBALL TEAM The 1985-1986 Junior Varsity Basketball season was filled with excitement and success. This success was due to nine diligent, enthusiastic, and cou- rageous young men.

There are clubs to support many interests, both extra-curricular and academic. One may strive to become a member of the National Honor Society and spend leisure time on the slopes at Wachusett. Another, a springtime track star, might practice as a full-time Choraleer. Actors, cheerleaders, and soccer players have the opportunity to sit at one table and discuss prom plans or poetry. Or even, in celebration of all student interests and rigors, the Tantasqu a Senior High Spirit Week! 120 TRL-M OFFICERS TRLM The Tantasqua Tri-M group is very similar to the National Honor Society in that they both consist of students who excel in a certain aspect of their school career. The name, “Tri-M”, is an acronym for ‘Modern Music Masters’. The members of this group are chosen for their musical abili- ty, leadership skills, and schol- arship. The group often pro- vides entertainment for the surrounding communities, as well as some community ser- vices. 122 Clockwise: Stephen Celuzza, Katie-Sue Reed, Donna Krans, Sue Schadlich, Amy Raczkowski.

CHORUS OFFICERS Each year the Concert Choir elects five officers to repre- sent the Chorus, and to help to keep it functioning properly. The offices include President, Secretary, Librarian, Manager, and Publicist. Donna Krans, as President, works with the Choral Direc- tor, Ms. Werlin, and frequently distributes News Letters to the Chorus in order to keep them up to date on fun- draisers, and other Chorus ac- tivities and events. Beckie Taylor, as the Secre- tary, is expected to take atten- dance and to take notes of each meeting. The Manager, Jamie Gow- ing, is in charge of organizing practices and concerts and making sure they run smooth- ly. In charge of announcing concerts, fundraisers, and all other Chorus events to news- papers, is Gina Soliz, the Publi- cist. She is responsible for making sure that everyone has the opportunity to become in- volved with the Tantasqua Mu- sic Department. CONCERT CHOIR 123 The choraleers, quoted as saying, ‘‘Nugga, nugga, nugga,” are sixteen of Tantas- qua’s most capable singers. They are chosen annually, by audition, from the larger Con- cert Choir. This group’s repe- toire includes Renaissance, Pop, and Jazz. The members of this group meet once a week for a two hour intensive rehearsal. The group performs completely un- accompanied, and without a conductor at at least three scheduled concerts per year. They also often sing at special gatherings and functions. The Choraleers’ other ac- tivities include a weekend musical retreat to Paxton. This yearly retreat includes many hours of rehearsal, camarade- rie, and even a secret initi- ation. It is a weekend full of hard work, but is also full of fun for all. Girls’ Ensemble, under the able direction of Ms. Werlin, is about 25 voices strong this year. Every Tuesday and Thursday E-Block, they can be found hard at work preparin g jazz, pop, and show tunes. They not only learn the music, but choreograph it. They perform in three and four part harmony in the annu- al Holiday Concert and the Spring Concert. The girls are very enthusiastic about their work, Girls’ Ensemble provides a good chance for its members to make music, enjoy them- selves, and all that jazz! 124 CHORALEERS | front row: K. Reed, T.

Elected by the student body, these five students get an opportuni- ty to see school politics in ac- tion as members of the Student Advisory Council to the Tan- tasqua School Committee. These representatives are not privy to executive session, a part of the meeting that the school committee wishes to be secret, and therefore excludes everyone but its own mem- bers. However, these students do get to give areport at every meeting, and are mentioned in the minutes. Though this year does not have the same heated contro- versy as last year did, the committee can get remarkably upset about many things. Re- paving the teacher’s parking lot, and accepting donations to improve the athletic field, to name a few, have the ability to take on gargantuan propor- tions. The students also have the luck to be exposed to the com- plex and confusing Robert’s Rules of Order, the standard rules for parliamentary proce- dure. The School Committee serves a regional school dis- trict, and many conflicting in- terests and personalities clash. The Student Advisory Council sees it all happen, and emerges wiser in the realm of local polli- tics. 126 SCHOOL COMMITTEE REPS front row: Lisa Repasky, Secretary; Amy Raczkowski, Treasurer back row: John Phillips, President; Scott Martin, Vice President SOPHOMORE CLASS OFFICERS left to right: Gabe Loorem, President; Sharon Jankoski, Treasurer; Jennifer Cantara, Vice- President; Melissa Gagnon, Secretary. THE 1986 STUDENT COUNCIL The members of this year’s Student Council began to pre- pare for a great year last Spring, when members of the Council attended the MASC (the Massachusetts Associ- ation of Student Councils). This school year, the mem- bers attended another work- shop, the Officers Workshop, at the Sheraton Tara, in Fra- mingham. The members who have at- tended these meetings all agree that they have learned alot ... And had alot of fun. The Student Council has also been busy at the “shacks”. This is where the Council sells refreshments during football games in order to raise money. 127 129 THE NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY INDUCTIONS May I, 1985 brought the in- duction of twenty new mem- bers to the National Honor So- ciety. In honor of the new members and officers, a ban- quet was held at Roms. After everyone had eaten their fill from the buffet, the induction ceremony began. The inductees were called to the front of the room in alpha- betical order, and each was handed a white candle. The first candle was lighted and the members passed the flame down the line by touching can- dles. As each inductee passed the flame to his neighbor, he said, ‘As I give light to you, so may you give light to others.” The ceremony ended with the inauguration of the new of- ficers. The new officers in- cluded Charlotte Haller as President, Paul Peters as Vice President, Stephen Celuzza as ‘Treasurer, and Leanne Szwarc as Secretary. At top right, last year’s NHS officers begin the induction ceremony.

At left, an NHS member carries around a new friend while serving the NHS and the Tantasqua community by watching the little ones during parent- teacher conferences at the junior high. In 1921, the first National Honor Society was chartered. Membership has since grown to over 20,000. The National Honor Society embraces high standards of scholarship, ser- vice, leadership, and charac- ter. At Tantasqua, the National Honor Society has about 40 members. The National Honor Society (NHS), provides for many school services. Activi- ties include ushering gradu- ates and guest speakers at the graduation ceremony, usher- ing parents during parent teacher conference evenings, babysitting children while par- ents attend conferences, and guiding members of the evalu- ating teams. Other NHS activities in- clude the annual Pancake Breakfast and community ser- vices. At Christmas time the group often organizes a collec- tion of gifts and toys for needy children and teenagers. The NHS also awards two scholar- ships each year. One is award- ed to an NHS member, the oth- er to a nonmember. The work of the National Honor Society is often quiet and not as publicized as the ac- tivities of other organizations, but it plays a definite role in making the school and commu- nity better places. Each year the NHS hosts a Pancake Breakfast in the Sen- ior High cafeteria. The break- fast not only helps to raise funds, but also provides an op- portunity for the NHS mem- bers to work together, and it serves as a community func- tion. On Saturday, November 6, 1985, members were arriv- ing as early as seven o'clock in the morning, in order to pre- pare the batter, bacon, juice, etc. Breakfast was served be- tween nine a.m. and twelve noon. By the end of the morn- ing, everyone had enjoyed themselves, and, thanks to all the patrons and members, the NHS had made a profit of al- most four hundred dollars. 131 The math team, under the coaching of Mr. Allen, and the leadership of tri-captains Ste- phen Celuzza, Charlotte Haller, and Kathie Jankoski, holds its own in Division A competition of the Worcester County Math League. There are about fif- teen sophomores, juniors, and seniors on the team. They at- tend four meets a year at dif- ferent schools in Worcester county. Each competitor works on three rounds, plus the team round. A round consists of three problems of varying de- grees of difficulty on such sub- jects as algebra, geometry, and trigonometry. The math team provides its members with an excellent op- portunity to show off their mathematical ability, meet people, and have fun.

AUUIV VIQUAL Morten Visnek is one of two lexchange students who came to this area. He came from Denmark through the Youth For Understanding organiza- tion. He arrived in August, and will stay until July. Previous to coming to the 'U.S., Morten had studied Eng- lish for four years. He decided to come to the U.S.A. to ex- pand his English capacities and ‘to learn about American cul- ture first hand. Morten expected to find those he has seen, but he says he enjoys the nature, the trees, and the hills which aren't so frequent in Denmark. | For Morten, the hardest part about being in America has | | | Se been adjusting to the language. He finds that he misses the freedom he had in Denmark. Denmark’s laws and curfews are not as strict, and there are more liberal alcohol restric- tions. Although the USA isn’t al- ways as exciting as Morten ex- pected it to be, he does enjoy the nature, as well as having a “brother” (a host-brother) his own age. Morten has quickly adjusted himself to this foreign culture. He has made many friends, and he has become active in such activities as the Year- book, and Football. We will miss him a lot when he leaves in July. Volker Domke came to the USA in August with the Open Door Organization. He decid- ed to come to the USA so that he might have the opportunity to improve his English, which he studied for seven years in Germany. He also wanted to learn first hand about our cul- ture and to enjoy the indepen- dence of living away from home. Living in Sturbridge, he finds that he misses the close- ness of facilities which he en- joyed in Germany. As do many exchange students, Volker misses his home country’s more lenient alcohol laws, and his freedom to drink what he wants, when he wants, and where he wants. Since Volker has been at Tantasqua the two activities At left, Morten Visnek tries to make Volker Domke look small. which have most occupied his time are school and football. In school he finds the college- bound students taking easier courses then those which they would be allowed to take in Germany. He commented that he doesn’t enjoy the school lunches but he says they have been getting better; the stu- dents return home each day in order to eat their lunches, and he misses this. Football he says is ‘crazy, funny ... but interesting”; he enjoyed playing on the J.V. squad where he learned the rules of the game and how to play ball with “that funny ball’. When he returns home in July, Volker is sure to have many happy memories, and he will leave behind many friends.

In the struggle against star- vation, musicians from around the world gave time, money, and love to the citizens of Ethi- opia. The United States discov- ered heroes like Rambo, Pete Rose, and even Miami Vice, Ka while finally recognizing the true heros of Vietnam with a wall in Washington D.C. Rock Hudson, movie idol of 30s, died of AIDS in California. Nobel Peace prize winner, Bishop Tutu, Samantha Smith, and leaders Reagan and Gor- bachev all sought to achieve world peace and equality.

Es SPECIAL THANKS AND ACKNOWLEDGE © As this publication comes to a close, | would like to take this opportunity to thank the many people who have made this edition of the Tantasquan a re- ality. First, | would like to thank my family for allowing me the use of the dining room as my Editorial office. I’m grateful for their support and accep- tance of my temprament dur- ing the weeks before dead- lines. My family has calmly slept through many midnight work sessions without a single complaint. Second, | would like to thank Mr. Earls for his valuable ad- vice during the first of many hassles I’ve encountered in putting this book together. Early in the year, there was quite a disruption concerning the Senior section, which ap- pears at the beginning of this publication, during which I re- ceived criticism for every- thing from insensitivity to pride. Mr. Earls’s advice was a great help in viewing this neg- ative response as constructive criticism. It should also be known that 60 Minute Village Photo on Route 13] has had a tremendous part in the success of this book. Due to a breach of con- tract with Loring Photography Studio, there was no profes- sional photographer to buy film, shoot our sports and ac- tivities (so please forgive any oversights), or develop the film. The people at 60 Minute Village Photo gave us a dis- count on film and fantastic quality rush service. Without a doubt, we are deeply indebted to them for their kindness and understanding. This brings me to my staff. Most of the sports, activities, 144 and candid shots in the year- book were taken by my Photo Editor, Stephen Celuzza. He has been very reliable, and I'd say he’s certainly earned his title for his MIT transcript. He’s also quite an ad salesman, which very few people are. Christine White, Assistant Photo Editor, is responsible for the pictures herein that Ste- phen did not take. In addition to this, Chris put together the Activities section and took over the financial end of this project partway through. She has proven herself to be quite versatile. Mark Kocher began the year as Advertising Editor. He did this job well until he was forced to resign the position. Mark is also a computer wiz- ard; I’m thankful for the help he gave on the work we did on the Apple in the English Office, since I’m a computer illiterate. Walter Herrick is responsi- ble for the Vocational section of this book, as well as a good piece of the ads. | really value his involvement and commit- ment to his position on this staff. Charlotte Haller is the sole compiler of the Senior section. | was relieved and surprised to find that the whole 30 page section was done correctly and on time. Charlotte is a first time yearbook staffer. She put together a strong section; she deserves all of our acknowl- edgement. Jennifer Miller has been the Ghost Editor of this publica- tion, for which I give my com- plete gratitude. Instead of say- ing, “Il told you so,” and going to sleep, Jennifer stayed up late with me to finish the final lay-outs for every deadline. Jennifer has been with me all the way in the tangle of many details and draw-backs. Finally, | would like to thank Mr. Blake for his time and frank opinions. As Yearbook Advisor, Mr. Blake has been through the same yearbook season as I, but many times over — undoubtedly through some special reserve of strength and sanity. I’m sorry for the financial scare we’ve pulled until just about the last second, but a little tension adds excitement. | could continue this ac- knowledgement still longer (but not indefinitely) if space and decency permitted, but this is almost the end of the book, and I’m about ready for it. | would like to extend my quick and final thanks to Gae Warman, our billing clerk, as well as to Mrs. Phillips and Mr. Keenan, who were generous hosts for our several yearbook meetings in the library. Also, my special thanks to Mr. Si- manski and Mr. Bombard (thanks for all the dances!) for their overall understanding and allowing a few in-school meetings. So, this is your yearbook. When | took this job, Mr. Bom- bard told me that I'd have to be a bitch to get it done well; | hope | have reached that end without being too hard on any- one. This has been a great ac- complishment, but I’m terribly relieved that there is only one, small yearbook to be published each year at Tantasqua. All that remains to be understood is the vast amount of work that goes into the Tantasquan; | thought | knew before | took this position, but ... 1 didn’t. Your Editor truly, At left is my favorite picture from this year. In the middle is myself with my buddy © Jennifer. Below is one of my bene- facters, Mr. Bombard. On the bottom is me. As we leave Tantasqua, for the summer or forever, we will remember the work we have done here. We have helped ourselves and each other. The memory of the friends we have made will remain, as will the knowledge we've gained and the experiences we've en- dured, to help us continue our lives without repeating the mistakes that have marked our past. Good luck! 146 Education makes people easy to lead, but dif- ficult to drive, easy to govern, but impossible to enslave. — Henry, Baron Brougham 147 148 TUMBLEWEED TACK SHOP “Your one stop shopping center V4 for all your equestrian needs,” Ag Rte. 131 Sturbridge, MA (617) 347-9075 Bob Donna Blanchette VILLAGE MOBIL BOX 86 RT. 20 STURBRIDGE, MASS. 01566 347-7577 SERVICE MGR. - KEN BESSE PROPRIETOR: GEORGE A.
