Chevron THE 1978 PRISM INSIDE: YOU ARE HERE. Fall. In the fall a young student's heart turns lightly to thoughts of triples, book money, add-drop, and home-delivered Pat's pizza.

The Maine Bears attracted school spirit in record proportions this year, but had to paws to lick their wounds more often than not during the season, discovering as well that from the gridiron to the Den it’s a fur piece.

Here is a list of people (in stream-of-consciousness order) who contributed some combination of time, effort, wit. imagination, sleepless nights, lost vacations, tortured dreams, good advice, poor advice, just plain vice, and large quantities of therapu- tic brouhaha to this years Book.

Bob Creteau, former Prism editor and financial adviser to Nancy and me. With- out all of these fine folks, the 1978 school year might have passed without reflection at UMO.

And then it's time to squeeze the family car in amongst all the other thousands of family cars swelling against the dor mitory doors and disgorging students with their attendant awkward paraphernalia. Par- ents. too. It’s a timeless ritual — after Mom leaves, you can tack up the Cheryl Tiegs poster and decide which courses you’ll drop first. Greet your roomie(s), jack up the stereo, throw down the rug. hang up the plants, heave ev- erything else in the closet, break out a rack of beer, and you're ready to face the new school year. But first, deal with the bureaucracy. As you trace and retrace your way across campus in a relentless quest for a com- pleted add-drop card, you may want to consider this: In order for UMO to achieve its current add-drop system, it has taken years and years of trial and error. Your trial. Your error. And after you decide what courses to take you'll proba- bly want to register and buy some books — which means standing in line at the Bookstore, bumping together in the tiny aisles, sweating in overcoats and swearing in undertones. While you're waiting to purchase an armload of worthy tomes, you may make new acquain- tances. or renew old ones. Friendship, that’s what UMO's all about. Besides, you might be able to sell them some of your books from last semester. Welcome back. 16 17 HOMECOMING It was a weekend full of sun and tradition, Maine’s 102nd Homecoming, the biggest such event in recent memory with crowds to match. From the torchlight parade Friday night to the Fraternity mudbowl Saturday after- noon a carnival atmosphere pervaded. It felt, according to junior Vickie Johnson, like “one long party,” which has been the general idea behind Homecomings all along. Fireworks filled a big piece of the night sky above the well-attended bonfire that always kicks off the weekend. Homecom- ing committee Chairman Meri Strang said she was delighted with the results. Farly next morning preparations began for the annual Organizational Fair, which included 92 student groups this year. By 11 a.m. the Mall was thronged with students and alumni who ate hot dogs and bagels, threw tennis balls and cream pies, and were “ar- rested” and thrown in jail (for a small fee) by fraternity flatfoots. Bill Cohen was there. Yes. he got thrown in, too. Skydivers floated out of the bright sky at about 1:10 to signal the start of the Black KHnENTflLWflRb Bears’ football contest with UNH. We did not win the game . . . enough said. .Jim Longley. Howard Neville, and Raymond Fogler attended, as did Jim Beam and a couple of thousand cheering students, not to mention a good number of the 3.000 to 4.000 alumni on campus. Karen Ross, a 21-year-old junior from Belfast, took part as the first Homecoming Queen in recent years at UMO. (Ed Con- ners. a sophomore in Knox Hall who also ran as one of 13 contestants for the Queen's crown, may have been there, or not. No one knows.

Bicknell praised his team despite their harsh 3-7 overall season and 1-4 record in Yankee Confer- ence play. His team practiced well and did everything he asked. Except score. Eighteen touchdowns don’t make a winner, yet the coach still had room for a different kind of satisfaction. ‘As hard as it may seem to believe. he said at season's end. it’s probably been the best year of any team I’ve been as- sociated with” This despite his previous season’s winning record (6-5). Why? If you work as hard as they did. you're something special in my imagination. explained Bicknell. We played some real strong games and lost. It was a tough season.” Tough, yes. and with some tough-to-take near misses, such as the Albany State and Boston University defeats (combined Black Bear deficit: six points). The weak spots in perfor- FOOTBALL (3-7) MA1NE OPP. 12 Lafayette 10 0 Massachusetts 28 45 Central Conn. 20 0 Rhode Island 28 7 New Hampshire 54 9 Connecticut 7 20 W.

Quarterback Jack Cosgrove: There’s a lot of pressure when you know you have to score every time you have the ball.” Maine did not score every time the Black Bears took possession. In fact, against UMass, URI. UNH. and UConn, the Maine of- fense amassed a grand total of 16 points. Under the cir- cumstances. it seems certain that UMO’s defense felt pres- sure, too. The Bears' sec- ondary gave up 300 points to ✓ opponents during the season. With such sneering statistics making life miserable for Maine football, less attention has been paid to words like ‘enthusiasm.’ spirit’ and ‘de- sire.’ Bicknell speaks with the defensive grace of a Miss Congeniality when he says. It’s fair to call us a losing football team, but we're not embarrassed or discouraged. What bothers me is that peo- ple don't know what we went through and just gave up on us.” One man who no one gave up on was senior running back Rudi DiPietro. whose 32 points led the team in scoring. DiPietro was signed in early May as a free agent to the NY Jets. A pro tryout is the dream of every college ball player, and DiPietro may become a symbol for Bicknell’s Bears if he can parley long, hard work and determined pride into a career with the AFC. Vic- tories. perhaps, come in many shapes and sizes. 51 Soccer The 1977 soccer season can be viewed as a scene from old Rome: picture UMO’s team as the Christians and the rest of the Yankee Conference as the lions. A seventh-place finish this year with an 0-6 YC record sent the Maine team into a turmoil that culminated in the resigna- tion of Coach Paul Stoyell. Spirit has seldom sunk so low. For the players, the game became a chore. Cynicism grew match by match, along with a let's - get - this - damn - season - over - with attitude. It was almost a pitiful sight to see former all-YC goalie Phil Torsney yelling out con- fidence to his fullbacks and emitting a cross between a whimper and a snarl when he was hammered with shots. It was sad to see F.rik Stebenau, fresh out of high school, los- ing his unabashed bravado and enthusiasm as the season wore on 7-0 losses to both UVM and UMass kept perfectly with the rest of the disappointing 5-9 season. Muddy New Eng- land playing fields and slate- grey cloud-cover matched the players' moods. There was an occasional chink in the gloom. One bright spot was Peter Baker of Freeport, who bolstered the halfbacks. Only a freshman, Baker has the potential to strengthen the soccer muscle at UMO for another three years. Junior Tom Piffath, who came to college without ever touching instep to soccer ball, started a winter league. These seeds may continue to grow. Flere’s hoping they do; but any growth will have to take place without the presence of Eric Stebenau. The disenchanted all-state freshman from Avon, Conn, will be a sophomore power at either UVM or Keene State next year. Amid a flurry of rumors about his possible firing. Coach Paul Stoyell resigned in March of this year, citing 55 insufficient money support as one reason. Soccer this year has be- come a vicious circle at UMO For the coming fall, players hope for a good coach — be- cause a good coach is what they need. But Paul Stoyell knows it's not that easy. The team and their former leader have come to realise fully well the difference between op- timism and wishful thinking 56 .w ; -Li- -r ■’ - i u ■ '• ■ • - ■• ' ., . ; W vS ’‘.V ■ ' A-. -■-• .

No one will forget the pigmy field at Presque Isle, ei- ther. where the team played sandlot hockey on a stretch of field 20 feet too short. Or freshman Wendy Wheeler's leap to stardom at the Colby College mudbowl as she dashed and slid through the muck, faked out a fullback and hammered in a winning goal with five minutes left Flashy. The field hockey team climaxed its 6-3-3 season with a trip to Cambridge. Mass, to play against the best in the Northeast at the Eastern Re- gional Tournament, hosted by Harvard University. Venerable Harvard Stadium, normally reserved for macho football heroics, rocked with first-rate hockey action between 2 seed Uni- versity of Massachusetts and 15 seed UMaine. UMass jumped out to an early 2-0 lead, but the Maine diehards came roaring back second half to give UMass a run for its money. All u'as for naught as UMass hung on to win. de- spite a flashy goal flipped in by left wing Gwyn Bown be- fore she went flying (grace- fully) off the endline. The jinx on the state title continued as Bates College knocked Maine out of the first round 4-2. but not without fullback Lone Vyone Swen- son tapdancing her way into the hearts of thousands with a booming goal off a penalty comer play. Maine had to settle for a semi-satisfying consolation- round win. blanking the Uni- versity of Maine at Portland- Gorham 2-0. 59 60 Cross Country The I larriers had an over- all successful year in Yankee Conference play. The men finished fourth in the YC and second at the Maine Invi- tational. The only losses Maine males experienced were to Providence. Bates, and UNH. leaving them at season's end to enjoy the quiet glow of an 11-3 record. The Cross Country team is well known for professional friendliness between its sexes, and the men were the biggest cheering squad around for the other half of the club. The women deserved their cheers. Their final record: 7-1; their only loss: a 21 to 40 thrashing from Vermont. Track and Field The track team ended its season with a 6-3 record. This was good enough for sixth place in the Yankee Conference. The team took first in the Maine Invitational as well. In women's competi- tion. Maine finished with a 7-1 won-loss figure. Juniors Nick Tupper of South Portland and Patty Holcomb of Dartmouth. Mas- sachusetts. were elected cap- tains of the 1978-79 teams. Tupper. co-holder of the UMO record in the 600 was a member of last year's record- setting quartet in the mile re- lay. Holcomb is a sprinter and a relay participant who helped power coach Jim Ballinger's women's team this winter. 63 64 Agony of de feet.

Together that inevitably means success, and Maine had it. The team put together a seven-game win- ning streak during the season finished at 17-8, the best record at UMO in 17 years, and even had people talking out loud about the ECAC playoffs. As it turned out the talk was a bit unrealistic, but still fun Rufus Harris was the link that held the team together. There is not enough space to describe his play, and the photos say it anyway. A single letter will have to do: $. S for the spark — speedy, smart, superb, swift, smooth — with a shot as soft as silk. As a sophomore Harris scored 569 points, a UMO record, and averaged 22.8 points and 9.8 rebounds a game to lead the team. Junior forward Roger Lapham was the hardest worker on the squad Every lime he tore down a rebound it seemed he had three taller opponents on his back. Lap pushed his point total over the 1.000 plateau, finishing the year with 1.136. Maine's fifth highest career mark. Kevin Nelson, the local hero, made up for his lack of natural ability and instinct by always fighting, always pulling for the team — never giving BASKETBALL (178) MAINE OPP. 74 Northeastern 85 68 Boston University 6b 61 New Hampshire 65 93 Morgan State 87 88 Youngstown State 74 74 Canisius College 67 77 Brooklyn College 54 96 Long Island Univ. 77 81 Fairlcigh Dickinson 79 66 South Florida 67 49 Stetson 53 75 Dartmouth College 76 79 Valparaiso Univ. 66 69 Wisconsin Milwaukee 72 72 Vermont 59 94 Vermont 74 121 Bates 99 90 Buffalo 79 72 St. Michael's 70 76 Massachusetts 74 79 Connecticut 73 X 101 up His enthusiasm occasion- ally showed up in the foul column, and his inside shots sometimes tended to bounce off the rim as often as they went through the hoop, but he played the role of big man well and his quickness and stamina on defense often made the difference in close games. The untiring, tight-lipped hustle of Wally Russell, al- ways there with a key shot in the clutch, ran the disciplined offense with steady help from Jim Klein — feeding Ruf. Lap and Nelson inside. Both se- niors, they closed out the UMO careers with memories of an inspiring season, in which they each played key roles. The highlights — beating UMass and UConn back to back in the Pit — epitomized the thrill of victory. There is no better reward in sports than outplaying an equally talented team and agressive team, as Maine did in both those games. Final credit should go to Coach Skip Chappelle. UMass coach Jack Leamon summed it up like a gentle- man after that Maine victory: “Skip always does it. His teams are very disciplined and they have a true desire to win. Maine was simply more ready to play than we were.’ And it showed 103 104 Hockey When the youngest col- lege hockey team in America took to the ice against Acadia University for a historic first game, its team members didn't know they’d finish their 15-12 season by just missing the playoffs. But after inaugural ceremonies with President Howard R Neville and philanthropist Harold Alfond. the first game began and the standing- room only crowd soon leapt to its feet. Gary Conn had scored the first goal 1:55 into the period. Conn took the pass from Dan Sweeney, the lone senior on the otherwise all-freshman team, and zipped in a low shot. Bull’s-eye. After a short war dance with his team- mates. Conn scooped up the puck from the net and deli- vered it to a beaming Harold Alfond. The Black Bears won. of course, 7-5. An unbelieva- ble season was underway. At the season’s end Conn led the scorers with 21 goals and 27 assists while Brian Hughes (14 goals. 28 assists}. Bill Demianiuk (17 and 22}, Joe Crespi (17 and 21) and Jon Leach (16 and 19) “V rounded out the top five in scoring. Jeff Nord (3.83 GA) and Jim Tortorella (3.961 were an outstanding tandem in goal. The Black Bears out- scored their opponents (143-109). drew less penalties (181-192) and had a more ef- ficient power play than any- one they played So it’s easy to say the var- sity team's first season was successful, especially when one remembers Jon Leach, named a rookie of the week in the ECAC Division II. Or Jim McTernan. a mite-sized for- ward who left opposing de- fensemen's heads spinning. Jamie Logan and Art De- moulas also displayed fine skating and team effort. In fact, other teams were amazed with the discipline Coach Jack Semler and Assis- tant Coach Ted Castle instil- led in the young team All in all, it looks like the beginning of a wonderful rela- tionship: the University of Maine and varisty ice hockey. -------------------- -«iw 108 MAINE OPP. 7 Acadia 5 7 Acadia 5 1 Salem State 2 4 Northeastern 7 3 Holy Cross 8 4 Colby 1 10 Connecticut 2 3 Salem State 7 6 New Brunswick 4 8 New Brunswick 6 4 Colby 5 4 Princeton 7 2 St. Anselm’s 3 1 Lowell 5 2 Bowdoin 6 0 f Hockey's bock oi UMO. 109 The Alfond Arena had a wildly successful first year of operation. Varsity hockey fever struck UMO like a hard fore check as one new team of amazing freshmen put on a show that packed the nearly 3000 seats under Alfond’s hard-wood ceiling over and over again. (Quiz to deter- mine how fanatical a fan you are: estimate how many trips around the inside of the rink you’ve watched the Zamboni make between playing periods . . . Whenever the ice wasn’t busy upholding UMO’s honor, it was filled with intra-mural vendettas of sur- prising amateurish ferocity, figure skating lessons given by the Arena’s excellent staff, and public skating hours each day which were only slightly more brutal than the intramu- rals. (Why was there always one little local kid skating the wrong way around the rink, fighting the terror-stricken flow of recreational skaters like a salmon swimming up- stream?) Probably the best thing about the public skating was watching the informal exhibi- tions going on at center ice where there were always some good skaters practicing their toe-loops and waltz jumps. Better even than that for some of us with a bit of a cruel streak was the fact that even good skaters fall down.

We were a young squad but we still finished the season at 7-4,” explained Coach Paul Stoyell. who was more than satisfied with the season record. He lauded Daigle’s ef- forts ( There's hardly anyone better ), while Daigle praised many of his teammates, espe- cially freshman Jeff Irish (7-5). who may become New Eng- land's top wrestler in his class, Daigle believes. Sophomore John Devin (9-2). Joe Walling (7-4), Mark Cullanberg (6-4) and Peter Plourde (6-4-1) also lent their talents to the promising UMO wrestling team. The Maine wrestlers' best meet of the season was against Bowdoin when they set two school records: Most team points — 44. and least points scored against UMO — 0 Although no seniors were on the team. Stoyell said he hopes all the wrestlers will re- turn next year. 113 However, wrestling takes tremendous dedication,” and sometimes a wrestler can’t handle both academics and athletics,” he said. So he chooses to drop wrestling, the only logical choice. Since the team was so young this year, Daigle said “If most of the team returns, we should be tougher.” But he agreed with Stoyell. A lot of kids can’t stick with it with studying and financial-aid problems, so you never know who'll be wrestling.” Daigle and the rest of the team will be under new guid ance next year, because wres- tling and soccer coach Stoyell has resigned. 114 Twist and Shout 115 I 116 Swimming MEN’S SWIMMING (9-3) OPP.

With an incredible display of depth and versatili- ty, the men captured 14 gold medals in 18 events, broke UMO records 22 times and set six New England records. ‘‘I’ve never seen a team so ready.’' Coach Alan Switzer boasted after the meet. “Per- formances were superlative. But the men's victory — which surprised very few people — was only icing on the cake Three weeks earlier, the women’s swim team had captured the championship on the distaff side, setting the stage for a UMO sweep. The double victory left most New England coaches shaking their heads, and Switzer and women s coach Jeff Wren an- xious to see how successful their recruiting efforts would be now that Maine's swim- ming program is perhaps the best in the Northeast.

For the third year in a row, the women were led by the remarkable Julie Woodcock, who swam to — see if you can fathom this — seven gold medals in this year's meet Re- lying on her incredible stamina and championship savvy. Woodcock led the way with victories in the 100, 200 and 400 individual medlays and the 200 and 500-yard freestyles. Also. Woodcock’s speedy splits in the 400 med- lay relay and the 400 free re- lays helped push Maine way out in front of the field in both events.

Somerset or Knox as our first three dorm preferences. Everybody is going to do it. he said. Make Hilltop your first choice if you want, but pick two others. If you don't you'll get stuck anywhere they want to put you. I watched to see what my friends were scribbling down for preferences as I tried to decide which dorms would be okay. The others wrote down Penobscot. Cumberland. York dull buildings that looked more like hospitals than homes. But far too quickly the man came by to collect the sheets. I looked stupidly at my form All I had time to do was circle my original choices: Oxford. Somerset and Knox. Well, by some quirk-like bureacratic whim. I was as- signed a room in Somerset Hall. I was planted in the fer- tile soil of UMO's dormitory elite. Some of my friends, those who gave those sensi- tive souls at Residential Life headaches with their messy sign-up sheets, found out what “anywhere was: Dunn Hall. Corbett Hall and Han- cock basement. 1 felt sorry for them, but they envied me a lot. and they told me so at the freshman mixer. You got the Hill? Lucky dog Really. Must be nice. 178 Well it is. I like having those handy multi-level study lounges and carpeted hall- ways. I enjoy eating in a small, quiet dining room, and having the Craft Center nearby is a real treat. There you can find facilities for weaving, sewing, candlemaking, macrame, pot- tery. enamelling, canning, painting and quilting If you're into leather there's equipment there for that. too. The whole place is decorated with life- size papermache animals, woven wall hangings, candles and pots guaranteed to fit ev- erything from thumb-sized cactus to Gram’s 50-year-old Bokanan bush. And if you really like root- ing around, there’s a plant shed just down the hall. One comer of the room features a bubbling miniature brick fountain that’s surrounded by all different kinds of plants. There's more. The food in the commons is just as good as it is anywhere on campus, and if we get hungry there's a natural food snack bar right in the conference center. Euell Gibbons would be proud of the posted herbal cures; meanwhile the menu lists cheese, whole-wheat bagels, natural juices and yogurt. We are what we eat. But if you’re too much of what you eat, you can work if off in Oxford basement's physical fitness room. As bodies-beautiful and bodies- yet-to-be beautiful work out 179 on the various weight machines, newcomers are overwhelmed by the perspira- tion odor wafting from the room. Right upstairs on second- floor Somerset there's a co-ed wing, two of the three existing on campus People from sec- ond floor are all like brothers and sisters, or so they say. At any rate they consider them- selves dicky and can usu- ally be found watching the tube or studying together. Ha ha. They're more likely to be found upstairs on third floor, or at second Oxford or fourth Knox, the Hill's best partying centers. But dammit! It’s not as great as everybody down in Corbett, Dungeon or Kennel-bec Hall thinks it is. and for four years this has re- ally bugged me. How would you like to crawl off that Hill into those damned frigid winds in the dead of winter everymorning at eight o’clock? And how about the damn stink from the mill? Eh? And see if you don't feel like a jackass when for the first two weeks of your freshman year you're con- stantly getting lost in your own dorm just because the halls go in circles? And try picking up girls at parties who refuse to go back to your room because it reminds them of those hotel rooms their mother warned them about. Well, it is nice, but it's not all that nice. 180 181 STEWART By Nancy McCallum Stewart commons may be the last word in quads. Androscoggin. Cumberland and Gannett Halls cluster pro- tectively around a flat green space just the proper size for any kind of recreation, from streaking to football The cafeteria is at the farthest end of the complex. It's not hard to find — during warmer sea- sons tables with gaily striped umbrellas are planted near the front of the building, which takes on the air of a summer resort. There one can enjoy breakfast out-of-doors or simply while away the sunny hours watching others exercise. And they do. Androscoggin women prefer playing catch and Gannett guys get into football, while Cumberlan- ders delve into more diver- sified sports, such as lacrosse, soccer or frisbee. Friday and Saturday afternoons are tradi- tionally reserved for kegball games. The complex doesn't hibernate in the winter either. With the onset of Stewart's Winter Olympics, the fields are trampled and packed down as teams battle each other in snow soccer matches. But the commons gets its 182 greatest use in April, when most Stewart residents con- tract a deadly fever — when stricken, all one can do is loll in the sun or run around on grass. Those not on the com- mons can be found baking in back of Gannett or on Cum- berland's beach. For those women with a bit of modesty. Andro's sun roof is probably best for basking. Third-floor Gannett often provides background music for the vacationers. Occasion- ally a microphone replaces the stereo, and any woman crossing the commons may hear her attributes being broadcast to everyone. While the commons is the outdoor social center, the cafeteria fulfills the same func- tion. indoors. Mealtime brings everyone together, although people tend to sit in separate clumps. One section of Gannett can almost always be found sitting in the back comer where they have a prime position for girl-ogling. Except for possessing the worst salad bar on campus. Stewart's cafetena is typical of other UMO dining commons. Little white-haired ladies dish out the food: Pauline might slip you both choices at once, if she's in a good mood. Male attendants run around refilling soda machines, staring at the girls and breaking up food fights; others stand guard at the door, assunng no thefts will occur. These doormen, however, suffer from visual impairment, or else students have become proficient at sleight of hand. According to Dorothy Jones. Stewart's head dietician, this year student kleptomaniacs spinted away more than 500 glasses and teaspoons, and countless salt shakers. Soup bowls, fruit dishes and salad plates were also lifted by sticky fingers. The dining commons is more than a cafeteria, how- ever. It also contains a snack bar. complete with a huge t.v. screen and a dozen tables and accompanying chairs. Unfor- tunately. except for fried foods, there are more snack choices available in the dorm vending machines. Stewart snack bar is a nice place to visit — but you really can't eat there. ‘Everyone seems close here, says one Androscoggin woman. I've lived here three years and it's almost like home. Many Stewart resi- dents agree — Cumberland Resident Director Tullio Nieman notes, The dorms are more together here, com- pared to other complexes. There are a few malcon- tents, however. “ I hate it here. says Cumberland freshman. Stan Hill. No one studies and people party all the time. The big thing around here is drinking and breaking things.” 185 WELLS By Bemie MacKinnon Spring evening. The peo- ple emerge singly, in couples and in clusters from the lit lobby of Wells Com- mons. Inside, the pinball gladiators are hunched in po- sition. locked in hypnotic bat- tle with the machines. Eyes dart after the precious light- ning of the silver ball. The war- riors press the flippers franti- cally — then comes the curse, the kick, and a fumbling through pockets for more change as the rectangular face of broken colors looks on. Outside, the undergrads saunter back to their dorms through the cool, deepening gray. Tired banter. That test was a bitch and a half. The French bread was stale but the spaghetti was good, as usual. Dave, did you check out the tall brunette in the light blue sweater? (Or equiv- alently: Debbie, did you see the blond guy with the Honda tan and the warm-up suit?) One guy stops on the cafeteria steps and watches the fat clouds converge in the West to smother the sun. Rubies glitter on the Stillwa- ter. where some last chunks of ice are floating downstream. I A runner in a white sweat- suit leaps from a Dunn exit for his nightly route around cam- pus. From all the complex dorms, dozens of book- burdened students are migrat- ing to the library. Night. Most have filtered back to their rooms and col- lapsed into bed. A female RA leans against the Hart main desk as the watchman talks about his childhood. A freshman girl is pressed into a phone booth, speaking in low tones. In the Hancock main lounge a knot of guys talk and laugh, oblivious to the t.v late news. But in the ground floor study lounge, one resident in a bathrobe finds a friend slumped gloomily before a typewriter. Another all nighter? Yup (weak grin). Well, have fun. at least tomor row’s Friday. Morning brings a crash of sunlight across campus. Stu dents hurry to breakfast and classes and return to their dorms like worker bees. Three dogs a big nosed lit- tle hound, a handsome re- triever and a St. Bernard with a sorrowful sag of face — Every Yearbook of every school every year since the dawn of time has devoted some part of its efforts to the institutional food served in its. er. institution. Next to the weather, food is the number two topic of conversation around any college or univer sity with a cafeteria. Perhaps if it fell out of the sky onto us as we walked from building to building it would be the num ber one topic instead. Be that as it may. we here at UMO would like to be gentle this year and give the kind cooks, happy serving-line ladies and nice nutritionists a break by leaving out any direct men- tion of this atrocity or that and by neglecting benignly any reference to food riots, stomach pumps, or meat that still moves on the plate. This year, we’re not griping. romp on the Oak I lall lawn. A clan of energized Oakies throw a frisbee and shout Rover at one of the dogs, whose real name is Nicky.

Where the Fraternity and Dormitory lifestyles come closest to physically colliding there is Stodder Complex. The Tierra Del Fuego of UMO is Stodder Hall itself. “Last dining commons before the Real World. should probably be inscribed above the back doors to Stodder. so that de- sperate freshmen don’t wind up trying to use their meal tickets in the Newman Center. Stodder Complex enjoys the distinction of containing Balentine Hall, which is filled basement to attic with young women who want only to wake up some morning to find strands of crepe paper criss-crossing their doors. Not that every girl in the building belongs to a sorority. Oh no. Some are Little Sisters. Some are both. A Balentine girl could conceivably have a little sister, a big sister, a grand- mother. a big brother, and herself be a house mother, all without dragging her own family into it. The mind bog- gles. From the frats on fraternity row. you’re likely to hear mellow tunes like. “I’M A WHALESHIT. I’M A WHALESHIT. I’M A WHALESHIT TILL I DIE. BUT I’D RATHER BE A WHALESHIT THAN A GODDAM SIGMA CHI!” On the positive side, it can be nice to be near the houses for parties. A fun pasttime if you feel like getting up early is watching the girls walk out of the houses on weekends. This is especially fun after a formal. If the frat brother is really chivalrous, he'll walk the girl home. The guy is in jeans, the girl in a gown and a wilted corsage. But we musn't forget the men here. There is something a bit conspicuous about a guy in a three-piece suit walking out of Balentine at eight o'clock on a Sunday morning. Don't look at me so funny I'm just going to church. You see. he's got to get to Newman Center before the freshmen arrive for lunch. 190 193 YORK By Andrea Conkrite (not an off-campus section) i ou live where? Oh, I York Complex? That’s off campus, isn’t it? York Complex is on cam pus. and you may know someone who has seen it, or maybe even been there. It's located on the extreme south end. near the cabins. Resi- dents hike at least a mile to and from classes daily. A number of off-campus stu- dents also believe that York Complex facilities are set up for them, which makes it dif- ficult to do laundry at times. Because of York’s location, its atmosphere is quieter than other complexes, and the 862 residents are blessed with a couple of open fields that the university hasn't, as yet. seen fit to tear up for parking or building construction. The complex consists of York, Aroostook. Kennebec and Estabrooke Halls and these dormitories cover a wide range of lifestyles and housing situations. York Hall was number one campuswide in overcrowds for the fall of 1977. with 119 men and women housed in triples and doubled singles (but no mixed doubles), while Estabrooke escaped tripling altogether. Each dormitory operates a small (legal) business of its own. In the basement. Ken- nebec Hall houses the Spoke and Fiber Shop, where stu- dents repair bicycles and work with macrame. but not at the same time. Estabrooke has a game room, operating pinball machines, a pool table and snacks. York Hall is often the center of activity. The dorm held an outdoor concert with Night 194 Owl in the fall and also a Christmas dance with Magic. Three York men, John O’Grady. Jon Howland and Greg Downing, walked off with a $5 prize for the worst act at the MUAB Bong Show. Two of the men brushed their teeth in the same glass of wa- ter. then John O’Grady drank it. Yech. Another talent in the complex. Leisa Ross of Ken- nebec, took second place for playing the guitar and singing Dust in the Wind. Talk about variety. Earlier in the year, the hall held a resident assistant and resident director slave sale. Students could purchase an RA or their RD and have him answer student commands for a few hours. Lisa Myers’ mas- ters had several interesting ideas for their slave, but wound up letting her serenade the dorm with an accordion. Lucky Lisa. Aroostook, the Ark (all men), and Kennebec (all women), held several parties and dances together this year. Ark men also engaged in sev- eral raids, depriving Ken- nebec of its toilet paper and locking shower stalls from the inside. In a different vein, this year, as in the past. Aroostook residents held a Christmas party for a group of children from Indian Island. Students from all four dor- mitories competed in this year’s winter carnival games — three-legged snowshoe races, soccer and broomball York may not be the center of campus, but really, as its residents will remind you, who wants to live at school? mm ffii H ! ss'ilii ii! i ?!i! i.i i iif! Hili-i iBRi! M! ill iffl M H | Off Campus It isn’t exactly slumming. Then again, it isn’t really in the realm of respectability, ei- ther. Life in the ubiquitous student apartment must find its own niche in the chilled hearts and made-up minds of off-campus commuters everywhere. Some find it quiet, some find it dead. Some find it comfortable, some find it freezing. Some find it organic, some find it shitty. It is. though, definately less crowded, less regulated, less expensive, and less con- venient than the carpeted cor- ridors of the dormites. To each his own. Amen. Dormites can provide an in- teresting perspective on apartment existence for those off campus folk who are in- terested even mildly in any thing a dormite might have to say. Dormites often shudder at first sight of the old busted bannister and the firetrap stairway. Wide chinks in the outer walls of the building also intimidate them, as does the snow dnfting through. Dor- mites like the privacy until they are told there are no ice cream parties between floors in an apartment house. Dor- mites don’t know what a gas bill is. or telephone or electric. But they think it's nice to get mail. Apartment folk — who may be thought of as a ’ folk.” with a collective lore (the mythical landlord, for instance) and community rituals (such as the semi-religous concept of “coupon redemption”) — are a hardy people. They think nothing of shovelling a nine foot snowbank at seven thirty in the morning in the dead of winter just to have the plow fill it back in at eight. Or actually, they think a lot about it. buy they do it. and that is what is so remarkable. Living almost exclusively on a diet of peanut butter and Dinty Moore Beef Stew, the apartment folk appear to be gastronomic wonders. They do bake (cottage cheese bread, for instance), but more as a cure for cabin fever than anything else. And chocolate chip cookies and milk must be kept on hand for munchie prevention after the use of certain types of inhailants. Dormites do not realize or understand many of the cus- toms of the apartment folk — except the inhailants and the chocolate chip cookies. But remember — the apartment folk of tomorrow are the dor- mites of today, as strange as that may seem. The world of student housing makes strange bedfellows. Speaking of bedfellows, if we had more space we could go into the interesting sex practices of apartment folk But we don't have the room, get it? 198 200 201 203 204 , -a r . -• - 205 206 207 208 Face Shots 209 Citing a President: Howard Neville holds forth on UMO, Jim Longley, Student Involvement, and the future of higher education Prism: Mr. Neville, what would you consider to be the single most striking change in the university system since 1973? Neville: Well. I think there's much more involvement with people in the university. 1 think we have many more students involved in commit- tee structures, many more faculty involved in making recommendations We have a kind of a collegiality now which 1 think we did not have in the last five years or so. That would be the chief thing I think that is different. The students have moved back onto the campus . . . they have gotten more totally in- volved in the activities of the university. Intramural sports, club sports along with the dorm activities. Dances, too. All the various types of things that go into the extra-mural part of the educational pro- cess. P: How has UMO’s experi- ence compared with that of other universities around the country? Are we especially overcrowded? Underfunded? N: Well. I think there are some activities at this univer- sity that are very much the same as at other universities. The overcrowded dorms, the budget problems we have and the student involvement here is similar to other univer- sities. There are some differ- ences. Our students are much more involved in dorm sports than on many campuses. We’re much more involved in physical fitness. On the other hand. 1 think its fair to say we’re more un- derfunded than most. But that’s been going on for twenty years, it's not some- thing that just started in the last two. three, or four. The University of Maine has been underfunded for at least twenty years. P: Do you notice any lag in trends or attitudes at UMO versus the rest of the country? N: No. Students keep up through the newspapers and TV and by visiting back and forth . . . what happens in California this afternoon we know about tonight. There are some who say that what happens in California won’t reach here for a year and a half. I don’t believe it. P: What, by the way, do uni- versity presidents usually talk about when they get to- gether? N: Well, our . . . well it de- pends on whether you’re drinking or not. I mean if it’s the cocktail hour we talk about the same kind of things you talk about .... Seri- ously though, most of what we talk about is in a formal situation, it's generally busi- ness. What we’re doing and how we’re doing it. What is your board of trustees in- volved in. that sort of thing. . . . And we talk a lot about the federal government be- cause it intrudes itself on so many of our activities. P: Not all bad though. N: Oh no. no. As you know, the federal funding for re- search that we get has in- creased four fold in the last five years. It can’t be all bad if the federal government is pay- ing. Now. at the same time, the paperwork that goes along with it must have in- creased ten-fold. We have to deal with that. P: It looks now like economic pressure on schools isn’t going to let up. Is a new edu- cational philosophy needed? Where will the land-grant uni- versity find itself by 1988? N: Well, my guess is that many schools are going to have to reduce the size of their operation to fit the num- ber of students. I think that in the next fifteen years there’ll be a hundred, maybe a hundred and fifty institutions that’ll go out of business. A lot of private institutions. But they’re uneconomical, or they will become so. and they have reached the stage where they can’t have the resources to provide the quality higher ed- ucation the students have to have. At the same time, I don’t think UMO will have the problem. The land-grant in- stitution is the premier institu- tion in the U.S. I don't think 210 “ . . In the next fifteen years there’ll be a hundred, maybe a hundred and fifty institutions that’ll go out of business.” we’ll have any difficulty at all keeping our enrollment up. nor will we have any problem enrolling the kind of quality student that we need. I think the state will provide us with the kind of funding that we have to have. But, I also think the students in the next five to ten years will find themselves paying substantially higher tu- ition. It'll be higher than 1 would like to see it go. and higher than the students would like. And we'll need more alumni support. But these are the things that will give us the edge. 1 have no fears for the University of Maine. Concerns, but no fears. P: It’s been a while now since your student days at Illinois, Louisiana State, and Michi- gan State How does it feel to be on the other side of the coin, so to speak? N When I was a student at the University of Illinois, I thought I was very involved in the workings of the school. I was president of two of my classes .... But now, of course the university looks very different from this side of the desk than from that side, because from here you see the total institution. You sense a kind of a public, and you have to balance all the com- peting concerns. There has to be someone in the end who says 'we will do this,’ or what- ever. P Let's talk about Governor Longley for a bit. 1 low do you react to him? Has he been good or bad for UMO. over- all? Most people connected with this school howl when the word ‘cut-back’ comes into any conversation now. How do feel about the treat- ment we got? N: I look at Mr. Longley and I think of it not as just the gov- ernor and the university, but as the governor and the state and the university. Whoever was going to be governor dur- ing the last term was going to have a problem: too many needs and not enough money to fulfill those needs. The sec- ond thing about Mr. Longley is that somebody somewhere along the way had to be the one to say, ‘stop, we’re going to reassess what we’re doing.' This applied to the state, to the beurocracy, to the univer- sity. At all levels of govern- ment, state and federal, we have too many people not re- ally doing enough for the re- sources we put in. So. Jim Longley’s been a good gov- ernor for the state of Maine. Now, it’s true his budget cut created problems. No ques bon. It forced us take a hard look at our priorities. During that year, during 76 and 77, it was pure hell. Now that it’s behind us though, and things are looking better, well, we can see it as a kind of experience. P: You’re fifty-one now, which is just about right for the father image .... Seri- ously, treating us as sons and daughters for a moment, what kind of advice you give us? What next? N: Work hard. I'm satisfied that the education you got here is a good foundation on which to build May twentieth really is commencement. You know, it’s not the end of something as much as it really is the beginning. People get ahead not so much because of what they know, but be- cause of how hard they work. Pay attention to others. Be sensitive to the needs of others. P: If you were going through add drop as an eighteen year-old Freshman, or for that matter, a Junior, what courses would you take? N: I’d sign up for the same things I did the first time. I'd have no reason to change. An economics major has served me in good stead. But I don’t really think it makes that much difference what you take. Developing the thinking process, that’s what it's all ab- out. P: In one sentence, can you sum up any special feeling 1978 has left you with? N: I’d just say that people seem to be more together this year than before. P: Let’s hope that continues. N: Yes. let's hope so. 211 This book is dedicated to Phil Roy who was a photographer and a friend. 213 214 ive Crafts fa ir llvSr- y muab Union Benefits How could anybody not like a place called the Student Un- ion? The solidarity, the com- radeship. the commonality of the name alone brings one a feeling of tremendous well- being. Remember that saying, what’s in a name?’? Well what’s in this name are sub sandwiches and magazines and recreation equipment rentals and Student Govern- ment and cheap feature films and pitchers of Michelob and jelly beans and eight bowling alleys and tee shirts and sweat suits with Maine inscribed on them and glassware with the UMO seal inscribed on them and the Damn Yankee and the delicious Ford Room and so on and so forth. If you sit on the front steps of the Student Union long enough you will see every student on campus once and every off-campus student twice. Off-campus students never buy toilet paper. Watch them in the A P and you’ll see they don’t. They get their toilet paper from the Men’s and Ladies’ rooms in the Un- ion. It’s too bad the school doesn’t keep overstuffed fur- niture in there, huh? Going to the Union is a treat when you are a freshman, but becomes less so as the years go by. This is especially true if you go there to buy toiletries or record al- bums. Workers on the Alas- kan pipeline were able to buy these items cheaper than you can in the UMO Union. But basically — no. essen- tially — the Student Union is a cheery, warm spot in the life of the student. Some really fine movies played there on the weekends while local theatres offered flicks like Hump of the Camel. To each his own. The Bear’s Den of- fered some really first-rate sandwiches and accounted for perhaps five tons of weight gain among the university community (that's if every person gained an average of one pound at the Den. A con- servative estimate.) And when 215 acts like Ray Boston packed the Den to the rafters, beer sales kept a lot folks very happy the night before a tough test. The Bear's Den suffered mightily when the drinking age went up to twenty this year. Remember when the war was on? Old enough to fight, old enough to drink!” Well now they’ve killed the draft and the draught for teenagers at UMO. Still, it’s a small price to pay for peace. The Den got a facelift this year. Now freshmen can get refused a drink in a much nicer place than before. Now we’ve got comfy chairs and oaken tables and carpet and a publish bar with a real live T V. set behind it that no-one can hear just like in honest- to-God taverns. It is nice. Still, the best part of the Union has got to be that front stairway and the open lobby between the newsstand and the Information booth. Some day a knot of people will start to form there — you know, friends who haven't bumped into each other for three weeks or more — and as more bodies amble in more acquaintances will be acci- dently made, until every stu- dent of the whole school will be standing cheek by jowl talking and laughing with other old friends and so on. and the big Orono family will finally close in on itself com- pletely. one huge tightly-knit circle of buddies standing on the Union stairway and catch- ing up on gossip, it'll be terrific. 217 A Story Well.

Unobtrusive; small, but fiesty: always fight- ing against the giants and somehow coming out on top. 1978 saw the lacrosse club, bolstered by a bumper crop of talented freshmen, finish only three goals away from the top of the New England Col- legiate Club Lacrosse League. Worchestcr Polytech took the top spot by virtue of a 10-7 victory over Maine in the championship game. The question now on la crosse watchers' minds is: will the club “go varsity?” But considering the spons budget at Maine. It doesn’t look likely, at least for now. Meanwhile the players are content to play the game and have a good time — and not necessarily in that order. Case in point: at the outset of the season, having learned of ath- letic director Harold Wester- man’s steadfast refusal to even consider the club for varsity status, the players put in an order for new uniforms. Red ones Then the self-styled Red Horde” took the field, determined to uphold Maine’s good name in club sports. (Any sports buff can tell you what “Red-shirting” does to one s varsity eligibility.) The teammates are as col- orful in character as they are in uniform. On offense, they’ve named themselves “The Big Mac Attack” after the aforementioned McEnany. Jim Longo” Long anchors the defense and is re- spected everywhere as one of the best defensemen around. He is supported by Leo Le- gere. who played some out- standing games this season after shifting from his former role as back-up goal-tender. Rob MacMillian and Glen Willard, both freshmen, split goal tending chores and will be an awesome duo in the years to come. It wasn’t an easy season. A tough travelling schedule plus talented opponents took their toll. But the club did achieve a crucial goal: it established it- self at the top of the league. Let the UMO athletic depart- ment look for desire and re- sults now' and they’ll be look- ing into the grinning faces of a group of red-clad fellows who command a lot of respect in the Northeast, with or without a budget. 241 242 243 RUGBY 244 245 Tennis It was a winning season, and that’s always good, but this year’s top-heavy UMO tennis team had something special to offer as well. That extra was Jim Levesque, who lost one match early in the season and then roared on to win every game afterward. Jim even got revenge on the unlikable per- son who beat him. Levesque turned the tables on the guy by whipping him twice during the year. Bill Hammer and Ibrahim Parvanta rounded out Maine's strong top three and helped power the team to double defeats of both Colby and UMPG, which must be some kind of quadruple de- feat, if you take the time to figure it out. Anyway, there was a dark side to the record — two los- ses to Bowdoin, one to Bates, but the record stands at 4-3, and that spells success for Coach Brud Folger and the UMO tennis team for 1978. Bumstock 248 Bumstock. The very name conjures up images of the six ties: bad pot. unwashed bodies, pnmer-blotched vans, greasy long hair, beads, bandana-wrapped heads, acid. Sgt. Pepper. Stones, sexual congress, outraged Congress, outraged parents, outraged media. Abraham Martin and John, the dawning of the age of Aquarius. Peace, brother. Well, you’d be surprised how much of that feeling is captured at the seventies UMO version of the groove in. Like a bridge over troubled water, Bumstock settles the frazzled nerves, soothes the upset psyche, brings fast fast relief from the Disco Sucks blahs. Bumstock eases in in the spring among finals, semi-formals, term papers, and baseball to take us back a ways, quietly, (but not too quietly), nostalgically, hap- pily. Lay back. Tune in. Drop out. Not that the music is old at Bumstock. Oh no. Oh con- traire. Folkcountryblue- grassrockabillycoffeehouse influences are heard at to- day's hippy reunion. You have to like the music. It's the sixties with experience. The sixties with perspective. The mellow sixties mellowed even further, like fine wine saved for a special afternoon of memories. Speaking of Ripple, the in- toxicants have eased a lot. Today’s Bumstock “tabs” come usually with a capital T, in a bottle made by the Coke company. Ooops, coke. That’s another story. But re- ally. the presence of beer and wine has taken over a great deal from the drugged out halucinogens of the past. It’s not that we’re through with them — by no means. We just know what we’re doing now when it comes to mind alter- ing. Mine didn't fit at first anyway. It needed to be al- tered. You can still see women in peasant dresses at Bumstock. Guys with leather vests and army jackets. And bikes. Hundreds of bikes. You re- member bikers. You re- member helmet laws. Easy Rider and Arlo's pickle- mortorsickle are gone but not forgotten. Don’t you love it? Of course, there were a good number of today's chil- dren on the grass at Bumstock ’78. I mean sitting on the grass. We wore whatever we 249 wear today. Calculators. Painter’s pants. The layered look. Halston. Whatever. We grooved for a while, like we bumped for a while last year and Bus Stopped for a while in the winter and Hustled the other night. But the day did not belong to us. Uh uh. Bumstock belongs to those who believe in Love, and who believe in ass-length hair and keep alive a set of values too easily forgotten. Tom Hayden ran for the Senate, for God’s sake. The Vietnam Era is over. Now mercenaries fight on the dark continent for the CIA. It isn’t the same. For those of us who still manage to cling ever so tenuously to the best visions of the Woodstock years. Bumstock can become a symbol The ideas still live inside a few grownup children. In an age when politicians get elected on ecology tickets and beaurocrats rant and rave about the red tape in the sys- tem, when Richard Nixon writes books for fun and profit from his California Elba, when all the muck that sur- faced for a while in America is slowly settling once again out of sight, it's worthwhile to go to Bumstock and lay back. And think. And pause just long enough to absorb some of the flow of events. Pass the Ripple, please. We’re still looking for Lucy in the Sky. With Diamonds. 253 255 Robert Ackert Georqe Allen Wanoa Anderson John Arnold Jeff Audibert Stuart Baird Brian Adams Mark Allen Abbic Andrew Stephen Arsenault Beth Austin Eileen Baber Robin Adams Jane Amcll Angelia Andrews Scott Atkins Susan Ayer Winifred Banes Hiram Adelman Dana Ames Vincent Anton Leland Atkinson Patricia Bacheldcr Laurie Banks Lois Ainaire Dawn Andersen Margot Arana Karen Atwood Martin Bailey Dianne Barbour Dan Allen Robert Anderson Patrice Archer Thompson Atwood Michael Bailey Jeffery Barker 256 Kate Bames Gordon Batcheller Rebecca Beaulier Mark Belanger Joseph Benoit jjrx Berry Sally Bames Jerry Bauer Ronnie Beaulieu Patricia Bell Judith Benoit Michael Bcrtoulin Eva Barrieault Harold Baum Charles Beck Joseph Benedict Alton Benson Nicole Berube John Barron Nina Beal Robin Beebe (AMW) Lany Bennan Raymond Bergeron Roger Berube Randy Bartlett Kathleen Beaudoin Susan Bechard Nancy Benner Bill Bergevin James Biker Lori Barton Su2an Beaudoin Ann Belanger Robert Bennett Anne Bergwell Arthur Billings 257 ifi?

You may have noticed some of it sticking around during the blizzard months of 78 — especially on your clothes after you'd fallen (again) outside the Union. Armed with brooms, shovels, plows and bulldozers, the university grounds crews worked overtime so diligently you had to runnel out your car later — if you could find it. In fact, it was a record year for winter: once, while the wind howled 70 miles per hour. Maine was pelted with over a foot and a half of snow, ice, and all the rest. UMO snow brought out the best in L.L. Bean’s, not to mention hats and gloves of every specie. It meant: snow tires, snowshoes. snowmen, snow angels. Snow-throwers. Snowbanks. Snowstorms. Being snow-bound also meant indoor partying or cross-country skiing on a day when UMO got postponed for the second time in 15 years. If it wasn’t so cold, you could have stood for hours admiring Alumni Hall’s icicle display. Wind-carved drifts. Snow avalanching off rooftops. Night snowflakes flickering like moths in circles around streetlamps. And then the skidding, slipping, sliding, shovelling, scraping, swearing and shivering in so much snow didn’t seem that bad. Maybe. 260 Kathryn Buchanan Sheila Buckley Jan Budreau (AMw) Debora Buker Glenn Guntng Sharon Burden Scott Burditt Daniel Burgess James Burgess Robert Burke (SS) Meg Burley Marcia Burnham Marcra Bums Elizabeth Butterfield Deborah Buzzard LesHe Cady Stephen Cahoon Claudia Caldwell Donna Caldwell Marybeth Calvo Faith Campbell Pamela Campbell Loretta Cannlff Christine Cannon Peter Capano Jodi Caplowe William Cappuccio Linda Card David Carew Brian Carey Ernest Carle Kay Carleton John Carlson (SS) Kirsten Carlson Nancy Carpenter Roree Carter Maria Castellone Holly Chandler Janet Chccvcr Joan Caron Gail Camcr Scott Carter Patricia Chaloux Cathy Charette Robert Cheney Linda Caron Patty Carroll .John Carzo Barbara Chandler IAMW) Kathy Charlebois Diana Cbetsas 262 Lee Chick Richard Ciesluk Ellen Clark Beth Clegg Linda Clohosey David Cloutier Janet Clukey Judy Clukey Scott Clukey John Coale Annette Coan David Cobb Nancy Cofflll Raymond Cole James Collins Pam Collins George Colwell Sheila Comerford Suzanne Comey Ellen Commoss Cindy Conkling Elaine Conley William Connell Mary Connolly Catherine Conroy Patricia Contino Brian Cook Bruce Cooper Edward Cooper Michael Cope John Corey Marlene Cormier Dwight Coming Susan Coming Nancy Cornish Michael Coniveau 263 Joseph Costa F.van Cox Laurie Cnttendon Roy Crowley Karen Daniels Tom Davis Charles Cote Charlie Crane Richard Crockett Mike Curry Brian Datson Deborah Dawson Andrea Cotton Carrie Craven Jay Cromarty Dennis Curtis Richard Davee Richard Dawson Jean Marc Coutuner Ina Crawford Mary Cronin Terry Curtis Audrey Davenport Dianne Dayton Kim Cowan Robert Crawford Terry Cronin Tymbre Cutchen Leslie Davies Peter Deane Bonnie Cowlc Gail Creamer William Cross Julie Daley Stephen Davis Larry Deans 264 David De Haas Kanberley Dennison Susan DeRose Daniel Dcvcau Janice Dillon Jeremiah Donovan Daniel Delano Elsie Dcnsmore Marcia DeSafle Kim Deveau Paul DiNlcola Sharon Dooley Tom DelCamp Allen Dcprey Kathleen Despres Sharon Deveau Ellen Dionne Linda Dongatti Diana Dell'Erario Zareh Derhagopian Dan Desrochers Wally Devoe William Dissclkamp Ronald Dorman Mark DeLorimier Erie Derleth Claude Desrosiers Barbara Dewitt (AMW) Brad Dixon Ronald Dos tie Matthew Dcnnen Mark DeRose Stephan DeStcfano Elizabeth Dews Peggy Dixon Daniel Doucette 265 Alan Douglass Dorothy Duley Timothy Dunne Nancy Dowling Brenda Downes Jack Drew Joel Dube Jane Dubowkk orendia Dumond Dumont Kevin Dunham Pam Dunham Howard Dunn Cathy Dunphy Dan Dupeny (SS) Debbie Dupbsea Timothy DuPont FeBnda Duran 266 Linda Durand Lynne Durand Bruce Durgin John Dwyer Beverly Dyer (AMW) Kerry Dyer James Eckler Elizabeth Edson John Eldridge Bernard Elfnng Jane Elmer Diane Eke David Erker SS) David Essency Allan Fairfield James Falcone Edward Farmlett John Feeney Melissa Fales Peter Famum Wayne Feigenbaun Robert Fales Cindy Fanar Karen Fenno 267 Ellen Ferguson Bruce Ferland Mike Fenucci Willian Ferry Ann Fetzer Jarrett Feyier Deborah Files Irene Finch Raymond Finley Shawn Finn Christine Fitzgerald (AMW) Kathy Fitzgerald Bill Fitzpatrick James Fitzpatrick Marietta Flagg James Flanagan.
