We walk with them, talk with them, work with them, eat with them, laugh with them — and sometimes cry with them. People we have known make us who we are by helping us shape our values and solve our problems. The more and different types of people we know, the more rounded we become as human beings. 3 How we spend our free time tells more about us than anything we could say. Our interests are expressions of our personalities. They give each of us a unique perspective with which to view the world around us. And whether we are artists or athletes, musicians or mathemati- cians. we all have a common bond — friendship. Of Leisure... 5 We all enjoy something. Sometimes we enjoy many things, depending on the mood we are in. We may enjoy the excitement of a large, noisy crowd or the solitude of a good book. We may enjoy an irresistible practical joke or a quiet laugh with a close friend. But sooner or later, we are all going to glance at each other and grin. 6 The energy of our youth fills our school. Around us. people are running, jumping, moving from place to place with a restless vitality that displays our enthusiasm. The faces around us exhibit the range of emotions we are capable of: delight, innocence, sensitivity, sadness, sympathy, affec- tion, and eagerness. Of Youthfulness 8 Of Curiosity... 12 We will never know all we want to know. There will always be things we have yet to learn - things we should have learned a long time ago or things we are just becoming interested in. As long as we remain curious, we will always be open to learning more - about things and about people. 13 Our moods change from day to day. Our friends become familiar with them and understand them as we understand theirs. Passing faces in the halls reflect these moods. Faces of spirit, solemnity, earnestness, competition, and fun reflect not only the mood of each individual but the mood of the entire school. 14 Of Concentration... Concentration strengthens the intensity of our thoughts. Whether we concentrate on science, social studies, a song or soccer, we are in- creasing our chances of success in that field. Our talents, through this discipline, make us more interesting, more aware of ourselves, and more capable of enjoying life to its fullest. 16 away there in the sunshine are my highest aspirations I may not reach them, 9 But I can look and see their - beauty, Believe in them, and try Where they lead. „ - Louisa May Alcott 17 LORI HERMAN 1963-1980 TRY AGAIN - William Edward Hickson 'Tis a lesson you should heed, try again; If at first you don't succeed, try again; Then your courage should appear. For if you will persevere, You will conquer, never fear, try again. Once or twice though you should fail, try again; If you would at last prevail, try again; If we strive, 'tis no disgrace. Though we do not win the race. What should we do in that case? try again, try again; try again; If you find your task is hard, Time will bring you your reward, All that other folk can say, Why, with patience, may.not you? Only keep this rule in view, try again, try again; try again; try again. o 18 Michele Kessler and Kevin Collins slowly puffed the class back into activity with new wind that will, hopefully, inflate the Senior Dinner Dance and Commencement Day into one final explosion. Senior Voice Heard... As student representatives to the Board of Educa- tion, we have voiced the opinions of the student body on several issues including how the students felt about the Devil as a mascot. We attended the Regents Seminar in November and worked to get the accep- tance of the Peer Adjustment Program. Seniors Get New Wind Like a balloon that flies crazily around the room until it is out of air, the Senior Class seemed to have spent all its energy early. Elec- tions held in September made officers out of Mike Loucy (President), Martino Rossi (Vice President), Vicky Hatch (Treasurer), and Barb Baltzer (Secretary). The class furiously and ex- uberantly sold magazines shortly afterwards, then quietly ran out of air and flopped to the floor. However, the sleepy committees organized to handle the details of graduation ROW 1: Barbara Baltzer (secretary), Vicky Hatch (treasurer). ROW 2: Martino Rossi (vice president), Michael Loucy (president). Salutatorian A 93.1 average made Lucy Paquette salutatorian. Although she has always been extremely active in school, being President of both the National Honor Society and Thespians were her major distractions this year. Lucy has been a Thespian since ninth grade and has had many lead roles, but her favorite was Anne Frank. She has also been Sheveron’s Literary Editor and a Beaujangles co-editor for two years. Lucy has done summer volunteer work with community children, was a Rotary Club Student of the Month, a National Merit Semi-Finalist, and will have her biography published in Who's Who Among American High School Students. She will attend Hamilton College next year and hopes to ultimately become a novelist. Valedictorian Tim Spink has been active throughout high school in track, basketball, and cross-country while main- taining his 93.9 average. Tim has participated in the National Honor Society, Power Company, and Boys’ State. He has received both the Bausch and Lomb and Renassalaer Medals for excellence in math and science. These accomplishments have earned his inclusion in Who's Who Among American High School Students. Tim has been awarded a $10,000 academic scholarship to Eastern College, where he will study to become a minister. 20 Mary Anne Brown Terri Hastings Rebecca Seifert Susan Carley These students have maintained an average of 90 or above for their high school years.

Yesterday. With fascination and a little cold-blooded amuse- ment. they watched certain colorful characters who stood out in the crowd — a few girls ringing their pastel way across the floor in bell-like hoop skirts, a few boys looking like 1930's gangsters in white suits and hats, and one dashing Romeo in a white-plumed top hat with matching walking stick and gloves. After Annice Blodgett and Rob Dick turned Cathy Tif- fin and Steve Ladds into royalty, centerpieces con- sisting of daisies floating in brandy sniffers began to disappear at an alarming rate while New Beginnings played on. And when everyone had gone but the fish, advisor Mr Rodney Little sighed and almost wished he were five years younger. 46 Foreign Friends My name is Hezi Cohen, and I come from Israel. I am sure that a lot of students will remember me — some because they met me personally and some because they tried so hard to pronounce my name correctly. I am really happy with the friendships I've formed with a lot of the students at VVS. I am thankful especially to those who helped me in my first days of school when I found myself lost in the various classes. I have a lot of experience with living in dif- ferent countries, but living in the USA for half a year was something new. I am sure that the word America” will always give me a good feeling, and I am more than sure that the initials VVS will give me the same. I want to thank the Cross Country team for the good time we had together. I also want to thank Dr. Morgan, the excellent teachers I had, and my best friends Lucy, Sharon, Michele, and the Brown fami- ly, also my host family — Mom, Maryanne Seifert; Dad, Grove Seifert; and my sisters Becky and Con- nie. And once again, thank you all! Maybe we will meet again somewhere, sometime, someplace — Maybe Israel! It seems natural that anyone from Holland would list ice skating as a hobby but Marjolein Dekkers, one of our foreign exchange students, also listed disco dancing and punk music as some of her in- terests. Marjolein comes from a large family in north Holland and had many friends to share her in- terests. She felt somewhat restricted by having to travel so much by car. In Holland most activities could be reached by a bike ride. Her favorite American pastime was junk food.

Juniors Are Getting Ready Junior Class The Junior Class, with help from Advisor Mr. Little, presented two formal dances, the Winter Ball and the Jr. Prom. To raise money for these dances, they sold calendars and candy.

Put together under the direction of Chair- man Amy Stone, Publicity Chairmen Kathy Burke and Cheryl Emig, Refreshments Chairman Cheryl Emig, and Advisor Mr. Rodney Little, the gymnasium was transformed into a colorful array of glittery snowflakes, floating candles, hand-painted mural, and the traditional bridge. This year’s Queen Candidates Chris Allen, Jenny Bachmann, Sharon Benny, Kathy Burke, Cheryl Emig, Rhonda Jackson, Deb Morris, Monica Reh, Jane Renwick, Sue Sansone, Amy Stone, and Lisa Wiggins stood in suspense as last year's Queen, Sue Carley, slowly walked around the anxious can- didates. At last the crown was presented to Monica Reh. As the new queen and her escort, Mike Gawkins danced, guest singer Tom Tubbs sang this year's theme. ‘‘There Comes a Time.” Certainly this Winter Ball was a time to be remembered by all who attended. 55 Sophomore Class VVS's Sophomore class has been doing much fund raising this year to build up their account for next year's special occasions. They have given money to a fellow student Rody Goodrich, who was seriously injured over Christmas vacation. The Sophomores want to wish Rody a quick recovery and hope that he is back in school soon The class is headed by Michael Gawkins. presi- dent; Roy Clark, vice-president; Julie Simonson, secretary; and Lori Schief- fer. treasurer.

She spent 20 years with us at V.V.S.. retiring in 1979. She is an unusual, interesting lady who has equal- ly unusual and interesting hobbies. She is interested in the history of art and collects English and American furniture of the 17th and 18th centuries. She plays piano, “dabbles” in Chinese and Japanese cooking, and is fascinated by the philosophy of Zen Buddhism. While reading the works of one Tibetan Buddhist, Dr. Mattingly came upon this excerpt which we think sums up what she gave us: If the teacher is prepared to learn from the pupil then the pupil also becomes eager to give, so there is real love, and real communication takes place. That is the greatest generosity . . Mrs. Elinor Bellinger, a Syracuse University graduate, taught Chemistry and Biology at V.V.S. from 1952 to 1980 and served as Chairperson of the Science Health Department. Mrs. Bellinger also served as President of the V.V.S.T.A., which, under her direction, set up the original V.V.S. Teachers’ Association Scholarship Fund. An active woman in her community, Mrs. Bellinger is also active at home. Her hobbies include needlecraft, antiques, cross-country skiing, bicycl- ing, and golf. She's a special lady who believes in and truly lives by the quote, “I am delighted to wake up each morning and find myself alive. 68 A Year to Define Dr. Albert Kouba This first full year of Dr. Kouba's Superintendency has been one of defining our pre- sent status as an educational institution. Out of this in- vestigation should come possi- ble new directions and increas- ed incentive to pursue them. This year was marked by a very fine Superintendent's Workshop. All the teachers in the district attended workshops created to increase skills and understanding. Consistent with the trends of recent years. Dr. Kouba has had to wrestle with the difficult problem of an ever-tightening budget. Mr. Brian Leach The support that Mr. Brian Leach gives to the superinten- dent in his task of running the school district is greatly ap- preciated. He has served well in his primary role of handling the district finances. This is his last year in this position because he will take over the director’s job in the transportation department next year. 69 Authority Speaks Just as the whole is greater than the sum of its parts, so, too, is a school year greater than the sum of all its events. Moreover, each school year is remembered as a unique, vibrant seg- ment of time, distinct from the ones that preceded it. Even though many of the same events have been repeated, each year stands separate and alone in my memory. T. D. Morgan Principal The beginning of the year is definite- ly my favorite part of the school year. The summer “rest period has provid- ed a foundation for renewed energies and enthusiasm for both students and teachers. Anticipation and optimism are at their high point. In addition to being genuinely happy to see friends again after the summer, many people have a comfortable feeling of returning to the routine of school where their lives become more orderly and pro- ductive once again.

Since expressions of gratitude are seldom given to this overworked and never-paid body of conscientious citizens, Sheveron wishes to thank each member for their efforts to keep quality education in this district. We realize the tremendous task of balancing all of the concerned groups: parents, teachers, administra- tions, custodians, students, maintenance people and the State must be a heavy burden indeed. We realize that the center of all this effort is the welfare of the students. Thank you. 71 Guidance The Senior High Guidance Office staff, con- sisting of Mrs. Tudman, Mr. Tofte. and Mr. English, assist students through schedule changes, teacher conflicts and college applica- tions. The day of a counselor is filled with helping troubled students and hours of paperwork. The students look toward them not only as guidance counselors but also as resource people for help in deciding on a future. Right: Mr English Lower Right: Mr Tofte Lower Left Mrs. Tudman 72 Secretaries Have a Full Day The office workers begin their day even before the 8 o’clock bell rings. Taking excuses and filling out early dismissal slips take up a large share of the time from 7:30 until 8 a.m., but even then the work is not finished. There are still absentee bulletins to be typed and delivered, late passes to be written, and many other jobs to be done to keep the school running smoothly. Their help and dedication is greatly appreciated.

Drawings, paintings, sculpture, photographs, and architecture, therefore, are the natural products of the learning process and demonstrate through increased refinement and sophistication, the progress and quality of man's intellect. Modern education, as it offers ex- periences in science, mathematics and literature must include the discipline within the visual arts. HOME ECONOMICS Home is where the greatest education occurs. Yet reinforcement from studies in Jr. and Sr. High School are vital to a more vibrant home environment. The study of home economics is both a science and an art increasing the skills of our homemakers. Mrs. Suzanne Carnevale English Mrs. Mary Cheney Math Mr. Edward Card Social Studies 75 Department Chairperson The goal of the VVS Business Education department is to prepare students for entry level positions in the world of work. This training in- cludes the skill areas of shorthand, typing, business machines, accoun- ting. and the human relations areas of consumer economics, business law. business English, reprographics and communications, and Math. This training will enable them to be a well informed consumer during their lifetime. DRIVER EDUCATION Driver education became a part of high school education as we became aware of the tremendous respon- sibility we assume when we are licensed to operate an automobile.

This is accomplished through the avenues and inroads of reading, writing, speaking, and listening. The language arts are created, fostered, nurtured, and utilized by all students in the hope that what we present at VVS will stand in good stead a lifetime. LANGUAGE In a world where our neighboring nations are becoming increasingly close and where there is an ever- increasing interdependence, we must become educated in one another's languages. Language in the high school is a vital part of that endeavor.

In order to provide more constructive activity for students being separated from their classmates for disciplinary reasons, the board of education and administration concluded that this form of discipline was worth the ex- pense. The program is remarkably successful. Rather than some students think- ing that suspension from school amounts to a vacation from school, suspension now means long quiet hours of study without benefit of social contact. Mr. James Hotaling Math 79 Mr. James Jacobson In School Suspension Mrs. Jacqueline Jahsman Science Mr. Allen Jacquays Math MATHEMATICS DEPARTMENT Mrs. Kathleen Jernquist English Mr. Richard Korycinski Social Studies The VVS mathematics program has been developed to offer each student the most challenging and rewarding courses available at his or her level of comprehension. A variety of Mathematics courses are offered to prepare our students for any future goals or career they may choose. A staff of dedicated teachers presents topics ranging from remediation to percentages — logic — probability — statistics — computer programm- ing to college-level calculus. VVS mathematics students from grade 7- 12 are encouraged to participate in many Math contests. The VVS Mathematics program is continually being examined, evaluated, and revis- ed to keep pace with the mathematical demands placed on our students by our society.

Its aim is to play a major role in the development of physically, mentally, emotionally, socially and morally fit citizens by means of physical activities. HEALTH The study of health in the high school is a study of the maintenance of ourselves. If we are to enjoy the fruits of life, we should keep ourselves in good mental and physical health. 83 Mrs. Louise Scheible Nurse Mr. Louis Schwartz Agriculture Mrs. Joan Slawiak Business SCIENCE The knowledge of science has affected our lives sometimes in very spectacular ways. Sometimes we are hard- ly aware of what conveniences and comforts come from the minds of our scientists. Science in our public schools helps insure a steady supply of scientific advancement. Mr. Glen Snyder Science Department Chairperson 84 Mrs. Carol Schneider Special Education Mr. David Shemancik Music Mrs. Paula Stanton Language Miss Sue Sykes Physical Education Mr. Lester Tarry English SOCIAL STUDIES DEPARTMENT A major objective of education is the development of a thinking citizen: one who has learned how to learn and is aware of his responsibility in society, yet at the same time fulfilling his needs as an individual. Social Studies has a special role in this development. Social Studies might be defined as that area of the curriculum concerned with man’s relationship to his physical and social environments and his interaction with other men and their ideas in the past, the present, and the constantly opening future.

ROW 2: Mrs. Jean Chimielewski, Mrs. Betty Miller, Mrs. Mary Havener, Mrs. Anne Hunt. This year the cafeteria staff has been serving its hot lunches daily. People seldom realize how much work goes into each meal that is prepared for us. Each day the cafeteria staff has to slave over a hot stove even during the hot spring and fall months when it is 90° in the kitchen. They also take pains in making out the menus to suit our taste. So the next time you buy your lunch remember what the cafeteria staff had to go through to get it to you. Mrs. Jeanette Peters hands out the good old french fries. Can't you just smell them ? Mrs. Betty Miller smiles as the last person of the day goes through the lunch line. 86 Drivers and Custodians Right: The buses are ready for the onrush of students.

As well as having their annual AFS weekend, some of the members are going to participate in a week's exchange with students from another part of the state. The members are also working to raise funds through picture sales and the band drive to help send two students abroad — Ed Brewer for the summer and Scott Buckingham to Japan for the year. Last year the money was used to help send Karen Hennessey to Costa Rica and Deb Staple to Italy for the sum- mer. This year’s officers are Katrina Talbot, president; Kathi Brown, vice president; Ed Brewer, treasurer; and Becky Seifert, secretary. For the first half of this year an Israeli student, Hezi Cohen, stayed with the Seifert family and attended classes here at VVS. ROW 1: S. Hilts. S. Woodard. P. Herter, J. Jonza. M Moran. B.

Mi chiamo e Deborah Staple. Habito nella Stati Uniti, stato New York. Except for ten weeks during the summer of 1980, this has been my home. For those ten weeks I lived in the Southern Europe country of Italy. I was an AFS. Exchange Student-Summer Program. For the month of July I lived with my mother and brother. Anna and Massimo Corea on the Ionic Sea in Calabria. The month of August was spent with my second family, Villiam and Mansa Mammolini, and my sisters Lorenza and Fabia. I spent almost every day at the seaside and loved it. Instead of seeing Chevrolets. Buicks, and Dodges: I saw Alfa Romeo's Citroen. Fiats. Hawk Eye Pierce. Bugs Bunny and Speedy Gonzales spoke Italian along with me! I learned how to make gnocchini (fried bread dough) and pasta noodles. I found the Italians to be a beautiful race of people. After only a few weeks, I was no longer a foreigner — ma uno Italiano! This was a terrific feeling and I thank my wonderful families for the time I spent in Italy. Ti ricordo sem- pre — famiglia Corea, famiglia Mammolini, Giovanni. Francesca. Mario, Marco, Cia. Gloria. Stephano, Chico, John, e especialamente Cinzia! Ciao! Ciao! Deborah Staple This past summer I traveled to Costa Rica through the AFS exchange program. Costa Rica is a small Spanish speaking country in Central America located just below Nicaragua. It is famous throughout the world for its rich coffee and its fabulous beaches, making it a haven for tourists. However, when I think of Costa Rica I remember all my family and friends there who helped make my summer truly wonderful. I know I’ll never forget the ten weeks I spent in Costa Rica and the friendships that I made while I was there. Thanks AFS. Hasta luego! Karen Hennessy 98 It’s All Greek to Me! FRENCH CLUB ROW 1: T.

Sheveron As you drift toward the second floor of the west wing you may hear anything from rock and roll to symphony music. Add to this a person talk- ing to himself or herself, a few people trying to concentrate on their work, and a high-pitched voice of a German-singing art teacher and you’ve got a Sheveron staff. Sheveron is much more than people who hand you your yearbook at the end of a school year. It's an organization which tries to come up with new and different ideas for the yearbook to please you. We try to find the right pictures and use the right words for every page that is developed. By doing these things, we can produce a yearbook that is filled with memories of the school year. As m every club or organization, meetings are attended by the faithful few These people put in many long hours after school putting their thoughts and available pictures down on pages. They arrange and rear- range and when that doesn't work, they start all over again. In actuality when you see a page, it could have been done as many as five times before deciding on a final layout. A person could spend as much as two hours on a single page. New things have been added to this year's yearbook. In the back we have added a memory section. The editors came up with this idea when we looked at the front section. The front section is based upon the idea of ex- pressions. and there are many expressions. But. we didn’t know how you really felt about this year so we left the back section as a part of self- expression for you. We also dedicated the yearbook to two people this year. Dr. Helen Mat- tingly and Mrs. Elinore Bellinger. We felt that both these ladies contributed much to the VVS school system. You may have noticed we have individual pictures of teachers. Each teacher deserves to be recognized for his or her efforts to provide the students with a good solid education. Sheveron decided that this is one way to show our appreciation. Now. we would like to thank Mrs. Slawiak and her secretarial classes for taking their time to help us with the task of typing. They were a vital part of the yearbook production. Also, thank you. Mr. Merrick, for sticking with us — even when we got crazy. Mr. Dorman and his retail class deserve thanks for helping to get ads.

The group consists of senior and junior students and is headed by Ann Bovee, school dietitian, and Student Kevin Collins. Their first project was to introduce a salad bar to the cafeteria, which lasted only about five weeks because of lack of interest. Other projects included widening and improving the variety of the menus. ROW 1: K. Collins. S. Love. M Kessler. V. Hatch. M. Loucy. PEER ADJUSTMENT DEVELOPMENT A new class offered for seniors at VVS this year is called Peer Adjustment Development, otherwise known as PAD. Taught by Mr. Murray, the fifteen-member class learns skills in leadership and then applies those skills by teaching a seventh grade group for two days a week. They then discuss their experiences in class the remain- ing three days. Thanks to Mr. Tofte and Dr. Kouba for helping get the program started; there has been a great turnout for the class. ROW 1: P.

Funds for Scholarships National Honor Society The induction of 33 new members in December was the highlight of the year for the National Honor Society. The society had its traditional candy apple sale earlier in the year and sponsored a Senior vs. Faculty volleyball game which the teachers, aided by their weight, and sheer enthusiastic deter- mination. won. It seems that two other traditions are forming with the society: a flower sale which is very popular with the student body, and a spring talent show, also very popular. One non-profit activity is the Red Cross Blood Drive, which was sponsored in March. President Lucy Paquette. Vice-President Sue Carley. Secretary Maria Renaldo. and Treasurer Mary Anne Brown, aided by advisors Mr. Edward Card and Mrs. Cheryl Anderson, lead the Honor Society in raising money for scholarships, one of which will be awarded in memory of Lori Herman.

Thicken the plot with a pair of tommy gun toting gangsters and some sexy evangelists. Fold in an assortment of mixed up fruits and nuts. The action will rise. Top with some of that smooth Cole Porter music and watch the guests smile. It's sweet, it's sassy. It's Anything Goes! 1. Moonface Martin (John Caraher) demonstrates the fine art of gambling to Ching (Andy Stevens) and Ling (Ken Dinning). 2. Bonnie (Pene Thaler) croones Let’s Step Out. 3. Reno (Jan Barnes) and the Angels give everyone a little leg. 4 It's Delovely. 5. Moonface (John Caraher) gives advice to Billy Crocker (Larry Iran). The Thespians began the year with Life With Father, a Victorian comedy, and ended it with a popular children's play, Tom Sawyer. In May. the group will at- tend the Oswego Drama Festival, but plans for the an- nual trip to New York City are not yet definite. Since many of its members join in seventh grade and most remain until they graduate, the Thespian Guild is a club with a unique sense of family. Members grow up together and often become close friends — so close, in fact, that graduates often come back yearly to visit the old gang again.

The Devil's Advocate is staffed by a group of dedicated students and advisor. Mrs. Sonja Hluska. It is published about four times each year and includes sports, drawings, cartoons, Drama reviews, poems, editorials, interviews with school celebrities, and articles on community and school events. Beaujangles, an annual literary magazine, showcases the best poems, creative writing, and art work produced by students in the past year. This year's editors were Lucy Paquette, Jana VanOrder, and Marcia Hartman, along with advisors Mr. Lester Tarry and Ms. Nika Rapaport. o VOTE CAA Tf« Hcads or Ten Is ? i Above: A Devil's Advocate cartoon by Jenny Cesana.

Sharon Sobik Oh, the Wonders of BOCES Students from Madison and Oneida County area schools attend BOCES in the program of their choice. Courses range from Nursing to Data Pro- cessing to Heavy Equipment Operation. As part of the student’s education, the public may use the ser- vices which will lower the cost. The lower cost is due to no charge for labor. Although most students begin their studies in the Junior year, some may elect to start in their Senior year, only taking a year of the course. Left Top: Sue Pelicano shows that she has her own special touch to everything that she does. Right Middle: Randy Strong is cooking up a brew at his choice at BOCES.

Mathletics Club is a group of in- terested students who enjoy competing against other schools through tests and relay ques- tions. The group participates in six contests throughout the school year along with 15 other schools in the area. This year, with an overall point total of 385 out of a possible 600. they finish- ed with fifth place, two placings higher than the previous year. Our team was led by Mike Erickson with 42 points while Becky Seifert had 36 and Media Hoffman, competing in only three meets had 25 out of a possible 30 points. Making their move a little late, the team came in second place in the last meet of the year with our highest point total of an individual meet. Thus, the team is left anxious in a good position to begin with next year. MATHLETICS ROW 1: B Seifert. M. Doris. C. Caverson, T. Mennlg. P. Pettigrew ROW 2: K. Fran- cis. T. Kitchen. L Hopkins.

Mr. O'Brien is advisor. This year the Key Club again has taken care of the refreshments for the home basketball games. During Key Club week, they had a volleyball tournament in which VVS played RFA — they may have lost but they put all their effort into it. They also sponsored a Toy Drive for the Oneida Hospital's Children's Ward. In January the Key Club helped out with the Winter Special Olympics. Activities planned for the spr- ing include a car wash, a dance, and the Spring Special Olym- pics. Most of all, the Key Club- bers look forward to the conventions. Far Right: Mel Naymic says Who me?

Cardinal deRetz Second for Fifth Time Their defense, pitching, and base running helped the Varsity baseball team place second for the fifth time in six years in the Tri-Valley League. First place was elusive because of inconsistent hitting. They then went on to Class B Section III semi-finals before meeting their defeat Jeff Pole totaled twenty-eight hits in one season and twenty-six bases on balls, breaking both previously set school records. Jeff Pole also received MVP while Dana Shoen received the Most Improved award; and the Dedica- tion and Hustle award was given to Matt Shue.

Maybe the reason for the bad year will give you hope for next year: This year's team was young; next year s will be more experienced; Captain Rob Usborne headed the football team with spirit, but it somehow fell behind its goal with only a 3-5 overall record and a 2-5 Tri-Valley record. Although only three games were won. there were talented players on the team. Mark Hopkins receiv- ed Most Valuable Player, and Jim Harr- ington received Most Improved. Leonard Hale was awarded best back; Tom Wilson, best lineman. Coaches Ted Dorman and Jim Jacobson felt the young team did their very best. Varsity Football ROW 1: J. Stewart. R. Hans. C. Bloomquist.

For the sixth time in eight teams they either won or tied for first place and this year’s team 4-1-1 record was good enough to earn a tie for first place in the league.

The football cheerleaders began their season with three questions: (1) How do twelve freshmen girls fit into eight uniforms; (2) What happens to a Junior Varsity squad without a team; and (3) What is this game called football all about? Their answers: (1) Enlist the sewing talents of a sister and grandmother; (2) The JV cheered with the Varsity dur- ing the third quarter; the JV also helped make locker decorations and posters; (3) After an overall review of football, the girls were given game situations to decide which cheers to call — offensive or defensive. In an effort to promote team spirit, cooperation among the squads, and shared leadership and responsibility, all squads practiced sidelines together, the Freshmen had rotating co-captains, and the Varsity had both rotating captains and sideline callers.

CHRISTMAS ASSEMBLY Spunky little elves along with Mr. and Mrs. Santa (Kevin Collins and Beth Wayland-Smith) added spice to the annual Christmas concert and assembly on the afternoon of December 19.

Although Santa tried desperately to visit the elementary schools, he got stuck in the snow and did not make it. 164 Warm and Bubbly Three new friends joined us this year.
