You Can’t Go Home Again —THOMAS WOLFE 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS Faculty ..................................6 Seniors..................................52 Activities .............................128 Sports .................................136 Student Directory ......................164 Senior Homerooms........................170 3 The class of June ‘77 has glided through its junior and senior activities with calmness and assurance. The obvious poise and maturity of class members, class officers and the splendid guidance provided by Mrs. Adams, Mr. Frannicola and Mrs. Melchionno have been positive factors insuring smooth sailing. As you move on beyond the sheltering embrace of Vails- burg High School the very best wishes from the school staff are extended to you. John L. Petitti Most books have a dedication page. The author uses it to dedicate his work to a person in his family, a close friend, or an associate who has in- spired him in some way. However, this book is not dedicated to a person, it is dedicated to Time. Time is ever fleeting; it does not have the permanence of a person. But one does and can reflect upon a certain time period and remember its importance and be inspired by a moment of existence, just as one always remembers a close friend or special someone. This book is nothing more than a collection of past experiences brought together to form a ‘‘yearbook. Although this book has been completed in just a few months. it represents more than one year; it represents four years of experience, growth, and change. As the class of '11. we have seen the decay of our school and the lack of student body enthusiasm in extra-curricular activities, but there is hope with Time. With this tool, hopefully future classes will be able to rebuild the crumbling educational structure, work to better the school, and install a sense of pride and accomplishment in their work. By using the present constructively, we can correct today’s problems in 5 order to insure a better future. All it takes is effort, motivation, and TIME. JOHN L.

First, you work hard to get yourself into shape and then leam the rules. Finally, you are ready to play the game, the game of life. I hope that you are all winners. 25 B U s I N E S S HAKIMAH ABDUL-GHANI Se«k help though patience and prayer for surely it is hard except for the humble-minded. — Holy Quiam 11:45 ■'Never fear the want of business.

Valarie Lucas L MEMORIES A MESSAGE TO THE SENIORS IS IT LOVE OR INFATUATION?” Infatuation leaps into bloom. Love usually takes root and grows one day at a time. Infatuation is accompanied by a sense of uncertainty. You are stimulated and thrilled but not really happy. You are miserable when he is absent. You can't wait until you see him again. Love begins with a feeling of security. You are warm with a sense of his nearness, even when he is away. Miles do not separate you. You want him near. But near of far. you know he’s yours and you can wait. Infatuation says, We must get married right away. I can’t risk losing him. Love says, Don't rush into anything.” You are sure of one another. You can plan your future with confidence. Infatuation has an element of sexual excitement. If you are honest, you will discover it is difficult to enjoy one another unless you know it will end in intimacy. Love is the maturation of friendship. You must be friends before you can be lovers. Infatuation lacks confidence. When he’s away, you wonder if he's with another girl. Sometimes you even check. Love means trust. You may fall into infatuation, but you never fall in love. Infatuation might lead you to do things for which you might be sorry, but love never will. Love lifts you up. It makes you look up. It makes you think up. It makes you a better person than you were before. Deborah Durksworth 124 Smiles can cause love to overflow —smiles can cure, even unbuild and in your case—cause your beauty to look like gold.

Vailsburg High School graduates more than two-hundred students into the “real world where they are expected to survive. Most of these students will use their knowledge gained in high school as application toward their day-to-day life. Vailsburg is still an institution of learning, but in the past year or so the morale of the teachers and students has suffered. Ask a freshman and a senior what they think of Vailsburg. and the responses are very different. Most of the staff is dedicated to the fundamental communication of knowledge to the students, but it is becoming increasingly difficult for them to really teach. Are we going in a backward direction? We sincerely hope not. Hope seems to be the key word, and yes, there is still some left. Even if there exists only a handful of students who still care about their school, they can motivate a good percentage of the others. Vailsburg may have a lot of problems, but there are solutions to them. As seniors leaving Vailsburg, we only can hope that we set fairly decent standards for those remaining. We wish the class of '78, and all future classes, the best of luck in their years at Vailsburg. Remember that it is still possible to make school a memorable experience. The ‘77 Valkyrian staff has made every effort to overlook the terrible problems that arise during the turmoil commonly known as “the school year . We hope this publication inspires some laughter, tears, and memories of the better moments during the past four years at Vailsburg. ill? ■ Salima_ Russell A. Salon Laura A. Watson Editors-in-Chief
