Vailsburg High School - Valkyrian Yearbook (Newark, NJ)

Text from Pages 1 - 144 of the 1979 volume:

Changes, changes, changes . . . doesn't it seem that there is nothing permanent in life except change. We, at Vailshurg High School, are also in the process of experiencing a change which could decide its future. The students now have a new Principal and a Vice-Principal. Although we are sorry to say good bye to Mr. Petitti and Mr. Miral� ella, we welcome Miss Theresa S David and Mr. Fred Martin who, along with Dr. Klias Levinson, are the administrators of our school. Miss David is a very capable individual, dedicated to the preservation and or improvement of the school system. She has already made many noticeable changes regarding the students discipline and behavior. There seems to Ik a certain pride and res|K ct for Vailshurg. especially among the upperclassmen, that Miss David has instilled in such a short period of time. It is true that in the past couple of years the standards of the students and the faculty have been declining, but we feel we are now at the turning point. The critical stages are liehind us. and we can concentrate on rebuilding with a newfound hope that change and the sincere efforts of | eople have simultaneously brought forth. Our joint efforts can help recreate a school atmosphere at Vailshurg which will stimulate learning and the overall development of its constituents. We hope that the rekindled Candle of Hope will pave the rough path ahead and Ik our guide in the future. Ishficq H-Uh v-k W 4 7 'pat en 7 e ‘Tttaa!' — ZOiCCitutt Z0osid cwvit6 1. Penny Sessoms, 2.

ANONYMOUS Miss Anne Mazeika Mrs. Ruth Feinberg Dr. Philip Weil “Peace, peace! he is not dead, he doth not sleep— He hath awakened from the dream of life. He has outsoared the shadow of our night; Envy and calumny and hate and pain And that unrest which men miscall delight Can touch him not and torture not again; From the contagion of the worlds slow stain He is secure, and now can never mourn A heart grown cold, a head grown gray in vain. He lives, he wakes—’tis Death is dead, not he.” ADONAIS —Percy Bysshe Shelley 14 Miss Theresa S.

Punk rock and the disco beat-Sid Vicious or move your feet So I bow my head to the Constitution, I close my eyes to the gas distribution, and I turn my back to the sex revolution. But I guess it’s alright. We’re all keeping our sanity Even though the seventies Are overpowered hy vanity. Where can love be found In this year of ’78? Have things gotten so out of hand That we only seem to find hate? Everyday we read about Another crime committed Muggings, scandals, even murders. How were they ever permitted? Is our world being destroyed By our selfishness and greed? Can't we find the beauty nature planted And bring back the love we need? “Changing Times” The times of the seventies are changing. There is just so much rearranging. The prices are rocketing so high, And the government offers no reply. Crime is increasing, With just too much leasing, Pain just grows and grows. And without help it shows. There is manslaughter. And no law and order, Criminals escape. In spite of the past rapes. Even music is reacting, But with no packing. It is true, times are changing too Rapidly And will continue to worsen, undoubtedly. REMEMBER THE BEST The sixties have been- The eighties will be- The seventies have been and are! Sunsets come and sunsets go. Each new year is an opening show. Look back and forward. Just look around gaze at happiness found. Put-downs and put-ons. Rip-offs and put-offs. Stick-ups and let-downs. They’ll always manifest, But the good old seventies tried their best To produce good memories like all the rest. SUGAR COATING C Somehow the past always seems sweet Compared to the problems we meet. It’s that notorious sugar-coating. Think of the sixties-they seem so nice. The seventies never seemed to suffice. Wait for the sugar-coating. When the eighties are And the seventies were spent, Their memories will also have an unforgettable sweet scent. It’ll be the sugar-coating. Impossible to appreciate the things we have. Wait until they’re the things we’ve had They’ll all have that wonderful sugar-coating. We thank Barbara Swierat, Bernadette Swierat, Deba Caruso, Joan Seiden, Stephanie Schpatschynski, Tracey Peruo, and other contributions. 95 VV V DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN? 1.
