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).

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

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
