Weehawken High School - Zenith Yearbook (Weehawken, NJ)

Text from Pages 1 - 152 of the 1981 volume:

A Standing Ovation For . . . Mrs. Aimee Pearlman Miss Patricia Hannan A class adviser’s responsibilities are quite similar to those of a conductor. While a conductor leads a group of talented, professional artists, the class adviser serves as a guide for a group of uncertain, but willing, high school students. Unlike a conductor who leads her orchestra by standing atop a small platform and gives signals to the musicians with the waving of a baton, an adviser leads her class by giving sound advice and endless support. The adviser does not remain rooted on a platform, for her work takes her many places. Investigating possible sites for the Senior Prom and shopping for masquerade decorations are just a few of the activities that take her away from the school grounds and onto the road. The Class of 1981 has been fortunate to have two extremely dedicated women as class advisers. Mrs. Aimee Pearlman gave us our head start when we were inexperienced freshmen, not quite sure what we were supposed to accomplish. She continued to serve as our adviser for two more years. During those three years she also managed to become a special friend to those who knew and worked with her, reaching beyond the normal student-adviser relationship. Indeed, her rare character gave the class of 1981 its own distinct personality. Miss Patricia Hannan served as our adviser during our senior year. Her enthu- siasm for her job was immeasurable and her patience with a group of anxious seniors remarkable. Serving also as the senior class guidance counselor, she showed tremendous effort in giving only her best to both jobs. Their time, effort, and devotion have made the class of 1981 a successful and harmonious one. We wish to thank Mrs. Aimee Pearlman and Miss Patricia Hannan for putting us at the top of the charts.” 2 Students at WHS are always on the go, whether inside the walls of the builidng hustling to class or outside pursuing any number of a hundred activities. Inside the classroom a unique learning experience is achieved. Students can prepare themselves for college by schedul- ing some of the basic college preparatory courses while at the same time they can explore and improve their skills in the fine, performing, and practical arts. While the wide gamut of subjects offered added to the students’ learning process, WHS students also benefited from the close-knit atmos- phere of a small school. Teachers and students have the opportunity to expand their horizons and to learn from each otheri they come in contact with a symphony of diverse personalities ranging from student government leaders and language dub presidents to sports heroes and artists. Moving their feet to the beat. Cindy Radi (front), and Eileen Cardenas and Danny Minervini (back), make their way to class seconds before the bell. After the helter-skelter pace of the day. Jennifer Sirico, Asimina Pertesis. and Patricia Higgins escape to their lives outside of school. Inside . . . Jose Manso. Steve Gallagher. George Arango (sitting), and Ismael Pabon ( resting ) agree that a break is needed at least once between each class. Every minute counts when you are studying for that big test. Just ask Nancy Perez. Glenda Santiago, Nancy Valderama, Hanna Torres, and Mariela Padolla. The rushing of bodies into school before the 8.29 bell is a common sight for sleepy-eyed students on their way to first period class. Before they become aware of their surround- ings they are somehow transported to homeroom where the meeting of friends instantly gets them into the swing of things. During the remainder of the morning classes, minds are busy capturing all the knowledge there for the taking. By the start of fourth period, a break at lunch is definitely upper- most in a student’s thoughts. Whatever class occupies this specific spot in the schedule for some reason always seems the longest. When that eagerly awaited bell rings, chairs fly as students scamper off to the diverse places offer- Creative juices were put to work when Thomas Hansbury and Orbin Perez decorated their homes away from home. . . . and Out Even after hours, students congregate around WHS. Despite the weather, the students keep coming back for more good cooking from Nick's hot dog stand. ing lunch. Most often they can be found in either lunch room, or at Nick’s hot dog stand or at Angelo’s Pizza Parlor, unless of course, they were attending one of the many club meetings held during the new one hour lunch period. Racing against the clock as they make their way through the mob is a constant challenge during the transition from recess back to work. The rowdiness of the students is still present as they reluctantly enter sixth period class. The remaining afternoon classes seem to zip by until the ringing of the final bell announces the dawn of a new dimension in each student’s life, the unique life of each as an individual. Quick hands and concentration are Jesus Lopez' secret in outwitting the Moon Cresta video game. Something is always happening at Angelo's Pizzeria. Academics Are In Intensity paints the face of Maria Lopez as she listens closely during history class. Learning can be fun. as shown in the expressions of Dorothy DePalma. Bertha Garcia. Vito Tattoli. Pat Haugh. and Keith Krieger. In a classroom a blend of thoughts, theories, and fact is served on a blackboard, and digested with great expecta- tions in mind. Teachers and students working together, planning interesting and in- novative curricular make all the difference in this en- deavor. Independent research by students produced projects such as attempting to clone organisms with the chemical cytochalasin-B. The major con- cern of this project was to see if cloning could be taken from the realm of lower organisms and applied to tissue and eventually organ replacement in humans. This was one of several projects considered for entry in the Hudson County Science Fair. Spurred on by their teachers, acceler- ated biology students accept- ed a challenge presented by the regular biology classes. Pitting their skills against each other both sections attempted a difficult test prepared by instructors Michael Krause and Thomas Russo. American and European literature were explored in the English classes. Accordingly, student attendance could often be found by plays, such as Death Trap, West Side Story, and Macbeth. Branching off, the department offered interesting electives. One such elective. Mass Media, inves- tigated the different aspects of media and communication. In this class students worked with video- tapes, wrote their own television scripts, and even contributed to the Indian Ink newspaper. In order to gain an appreciation and develop an awareness of books a course called Modern Novel allowed students to choose the novels they wished to read, and then discussed them, expressing their opinions. Learning to perform and per- forming, drama classes had the advantage of two teachers this year, with classes scheduled at the same Hard at work. Miguel Silva. Lois Dow. and Nora Vitulano complete their perspective drawings. Shaping a shop project. Eugene Moore pours on the elbow grease. Continuous stirring helped to perfect Eileen McLaughlin's jam. After several collapses. Hala Liddawi and Beth Valentino finally erected a scrumptious ginger bread house. time. This ideal situation meant Advanced Drama classes could help Drama I classes. While drama students were on stage, behind the scenes, Technical Theatre classes were at work preparing sets, props, and learning about stage makeup and lighting. Active participation of young adults in government was encouraged by the history department. With material on the presidential inauguration published by the State Department in Washington. D.C.. the election process was examined. Speakers were invited from several federal departments to exchange feelings with students on the Iranian hostages, United States and Soviet relations, events in Poland and eastern Europe, and other world happenings. The language department involved much more than written and verbal aspects; it also put a strong emphasis on culture. Each instructor strived to help students examine the ways and beliefs of a people. Students, in this way. gained a background to the foreign language they were learning. Arts of all kinds had diversified activities over the months. Ray Everett, art teacher, took several aspiring young artists to an open house at Montclair State College. They took part in many discussions with professors, visited classes in progress, and even participated in a face design painting session involving color and design. The resulting works of art were hilarious! Amateur chefs in home economics prepared an old fashioned Thanksgiving luncheon for faculty members. For donation to community organizations, holiday goodies like gingerbread houses were created. Industry was brought to the classroom through the shop classes. The opportunity to work with their hands inspired students to exercise their creativity. The practical experiences gained this year will act as a basis for more advanced learning. Involvement is the key to learning. Experimenting, trying, achieving, failing, discussing, listening, analyzing . . . the academic aspect of WHS involves all of these things and more, composing a well-rounded education.

Arlene Marcel- Cosmetology, fashion design, com- puter programming and appliance repair - these are just a few of the many courses offered at Hudson County Vocational School, where eighteen WHS students go everyday. Students who go to vocational school firmly believe that taking the courses offered there will really help them in the near future. They get to work with the computers or fix broken appliances. This makes the courses easier and more fun and gives the students hands on experience in a particular subject. They also spend more time with the teachers and actually the student and teacher become good friends. Voc School gives students a chance to meet people and make new friends. All these things make each day a new and enjoyable experience. 10 Seniors Strike It Rich! 'How did you come across so much money?” • a common question asked by many underclassmen directed to the seniors. Two dedicated advisers hard working officers and representa- tives. and extremely cooperative classmates have certainly made the class of '81 one of the wealthiest Weehawken High School has ever seen. This achievement did not come about only by the traditional yearly sale. As juniors, the class of '81 brought to Weehawken the first Donkey Basket- ball game in the school's history - an event which also proved to be one of the most prosperous fund-raisers attempted. Overwhelmingly successful, the Easter candy sale shocked every- one with its profit of a whopping 3200 dollars! The class had no trouble spending its money. Color pictures in the Zenith, the senior prom held at the Fiesta, the class trip to the Tamiment Country Club in the Poconos, the senior masquerade, and a few little odds and ends along the way all seemed to diminish the bank book. But with this dwindling grew memories that will be cherished forever. ”'81 - Nobody does it better - a fact, not an opinion.

They Ought To Be in Pictures If you happened to have picked up the February issue of Co-Ed Magazine, a nationally- distributed home economics periodical published by Scholastic Magazine, you probably noticed some familiar faces. Students from our high school had the opportunity to be photographed by members of the Co-Ed staff, under the direction of Aimee Pearlman, a former faculty member. These students were called to the Co-Ed office in Manhattan for interview sessions and six were chosen to be part of the 15th anniversary issue of the magazine. Seniors Debbie Bosotina. Juan De La Torre, Louie Scar digno, juniors Maria Duarte, Danny Hogan and sophomore Leah Thomas who appeared in the issue, received makeovers, haircuts, tips on good grooming and information on this year's spring fashions. They appeared throughout the magazine modeling the newest in clothing for young adults. Along with a bit of fame, they got the chance to meet and converse with their peers from other schools and were also paid for their efforts. This exposure could someday lead to future careers in the world of modeling and advertising. DOROTHY DC PALMA ANGELA DETRIZIO. Often seen with Debbie. Lea. and Debbie. ANTONIA (NIESSA) DIAMANTIS.

New York City is just a glance down the block, and many times that glance is enough to lead one into the Big Apple. Concerts, plays, stores, museums, are all just a part of the multitude of things a student can find there. Seniors constant- ly took advantage of the city. They attended the College Fair at the Nassau Colisseum, where they even saw the Islanders hockey team practice. English and drama classes could often be found at a Broadway play, like Deathtrap. Evita. and Macbeth, and members of the Zenith and Indian Ink staffs attended the Columbia Scholas- tic Press Conference, at Colum- bia University. On their own time students attended con- certs. shopped in stores along 5th Ave.. or took advantage of the library) others could be found at major events such as the Hostages’ Parade, and the St. Patrick's Day Parade. New York City’s unique trait for capturing an in- dividual’s attention is evident when one reviews just how much time was spent there by students from WHS. DIANA GARCIA.

We opened the school year up with the 1980 Olympics behind us, an Olympics highlighted by the American hockey team's first place win. and the summer Olympic boycott. A new pre- sident. Ronald Reagan, was elect- ed. and his coming into office brought many mixed feelings among students. Along with the transition of the presidential office. 52 American hostages who had been held in Iran for 444 days returned home. Their coming home helped establish national unity. The music world suffered a great loss with the tragic death of John Lennon. He petitioned for peace, and died a violent death, leaving millions of fans in shock. The movie industry also suffered losses with the deaths of the legendary Mae West and Steve McQueen. In sports the Phillies won the World Series, and the Oakland Raiders won Superbowl XV. 1980-81 provided for students a wide variety of emotional experiences which helped them as individuals to grow.

Seniors quickly discover there is no such school and then begin deciding which qualities best suit their needs. Each day the outgoing mail of WHS is filled with applications and the thoughts of hopeful candidates. The destination of these packages is as varied as senior personalities. Some are heading for Stevens Institute of Technology or M.l. T., while others are on their way to schools emphasizing the arts in the big city. Small colleges in the country even come in contact with Weehawken stock. It seems, however, that Rutgers University has one of the more popular applications, distributed among its various branches throughout the state. Wherever our seniors are next year, it’s good to know they had the opportunity to utilize their freedom of choice in getting there.

Fads Focus and Fade Despite the Me generation of the seventies stressing individuality, fads have taken hold. Everything from clothes to recreational activities has received attention. Far-out and freaky, punk has ignited a purple explosion. The catchy in color can be glimpsed flashing through the streets and corridors of WHS. Skin-tight navy blues were the status symbol. Distinct stitching decorated rear pockets and strategically located labels were placed where they were most likely tv be noticed. A musical, health, and body conscious generation is coming of age and with it comes the rebirth of the roller skate. Young folks are spinning their wheels to the tunes of Springsteen and The Clash. No longer are the perfect 10's in WHS sporting $90 cornbraids; hair has assumed a new identity as a spikey mass of outrageous hues reaches for the sky. Although these fads will fade as the hula-hoop and pet rocks did. students can be sure that a new craze will soon be around to take their place.

If you were a senior attending Weehawken High School, you were at the masquerade having the time of your life! Promptly at 7-.30, the doors were opened to seniors donned in a splen- did array of humor and color. Cameras flashed from every direction as costumes were admired by all. This year's masquer- ade was highlighted by several new additions. An old tradition was ended and, perhaps, a new one begun with the masquerade being held in the music room instead of the gym. The smaller area allowed for better and more effec- tive decorations. In addi- tion to a variety of cold cuts and soda, lasagna and meatballs were also avail- able. For the sweet tooth, a wide assortment of cakes, baked by Miss Hannan, class officers, and repre- sentatives were served. After the buffet, the eagerly-awaited senior polls were announced, along with the costume prizes. Winners were awarded with miniature loving cups and giant lol- lipops with ribbons. However, the biggest event of the night was dancing to music provided by D. J. Phil Revollo. 14 It's not blood, but it'll do! How's this book gonna fit in my tepee? Did you see that meatball jump? Mommy, this diaper rash is killing mel Ho. no horns for me. I'm on a dietI Teachers Dunked By Donkeys! While successful sales formed the foundation of the treasury, the Class of 'SI was not about to stop here. Determined to increase the bank account, the class officers had to come up with an idea that was completely different in order to attract the greatest number of people. That '$ exactly what they did! Due to the efforts of the Class of '81, the first Donkey Basketball game in the school's history was brought to WHS. This event brought more people to the gym than ever before and proved to be the highlight of the year. Hundreds of ANTHONY PERTESIS. Band 1.13.4: Zenith 4. XIOMARA M. RAMOS.

Class sales have been a long-held tradition at Weehawken High School. By being innovative, intuitive, and daring, the Class of '81 gave new meaning to the word sale . During its freshman year, the class was presented with a product called Civic Pride , a multi-purpose detergent. Initial reactions from class members were very negative. Most were annoyed because they had to sell detergent while upperclassmen sold normal things like candy. Results of the sale, however, both pleased and surprised everyone. Attempts to sell light bulbs and school spirit pens in our so- phomore year were not as suc- cessful as Civic Pride. However the class made up for the loss in its junior year, with the Easter chocolate sale, boasting a profit of over three thousand dollarsI The same product was sold again in 1980. While the proceeds of this sale were not as good as the previous sale, they were still impressive. Cooperating in the various fund-raisers, the Class of '81 proved that a successful sale is not determined by what you sell, but how you sell it! ESTHER SANTANA.

Though often considered noth- ing more than a popularity contest, the annual Senior Poll still has a strong foothold in Weehawken High School. The process of selecting the winners in each category is first initiated when preliminary sheets are handed out, allowing the seniors to nominate different classmates. The votes are then tabulated and. final ballots containing the names of . the top candidates are distributed during an auditorium assembly. Winners are then announced under decorations of orange and black at the Senior Masquerade. '■ JBest Dancers: Ana Benitez andl Julian Rivera. Did Most For The Class: Chris Ulrich and Hala Liddawi.

Bombarding the representa- tives with questions that ranged from the cost of attending a school to the kind of social life it had. the seniors spent a day of exploration and relaxation at the National College Fair, held this year at the Nassau Coliseum. The students carefully did research that will help them become successful in many avenues of expression. 37 ANGEL VALL EDOR Bowling 2, Track 3.4. Hobbies — weightlifting, bowling, and dancing.

When that 2:35 bell rings most students rush out of the building, because the day is finally over, but many simply are off to their after-school jobs. Sources of employment go from fast-food restaur- ants to the health spa in the Galaxy Condominiums. Quite a few students work in McDonalds or Burger King as cashiers or in the kitchens. Some people work in grocery stores as stock boys or at the check out counter. With the opening of the roller rink came new jobs as roller guards and kitchen help, which the students were quick to obtain. Several students work in the school offices as secretarial aides and others work in ware- houses as shipping clerks. Though this ,double life” is tiring and it doesn't give them a lot of time for themselves, these students are richer for the experience — they are well on the way to becoming responsible and experienced workers in the future.

Missing Notes JAVIER GONZALEZ ANTHONY DICEMBRI NA YAN SHAH 39 Girls Volley Off Key-, Boys Do It In Overtime Leaping off the floor to catch a pass. Victor Vangelakos displays the typical determination of the seniors. Never-say-diel Mary Cannon and Marilyn Alberian attempt a save of a faculty smash. You put your right foot in . . . With ballet-like precision, James Carroll and Manolo Vidal go up for the tap in the overtime period. It's a bird! It's a plane! No-it's Glenn Madsen lumping to score two points for the senior squad. A speedy part of the faculty team. Anthony Colasurdo drops in another two points for the teachers. The classroom isn't the only place where teachers and students vie against each other. Each year the seniors of WHS challenge the teachers from the various Weehawken schools on the basketball court. This year, the competition saw a major change. Because just eight women teachers signed up to play basketball the girls engaged in a fast-paced volleyball game. Playing the best of three games, the faculty won the first two. 15-6 and 15-9. Even though the girls were faced with defeat, they displayed good sportsmanship and contin- ued on to play the last game anyway. The senior girls came back to defeat the teachers, 16-14. Teachers and students alike seemed to enjoy trying to ’'out-volley” each other. Volleyball ended years of basketball tradition at WHS but, perhaps, established a new one. Men teachers, like the women, were also scarce. With an extremely small team of seven, the faculty gave the seniors a tough fight. The seniors, however, prevailed in double overtime and squeezed out a 59-57 victory. For the seniors, the victory began a night of celebration and partying; for the teachers- well, there's always next year. 4! ’80 Top Of The Charts ’81 three: Ramrakshah Tiwari four: Lillian Egues 42 as of January SO. 1981 Hall of Fame Senior cheerleaders Nancy Moran and Joann Bly and the other members of the varsity squad won 5th place in the HCIAA competition.

Stage struck seniors willing to put in long hours of practicing new mannerisms in order to portray their assigned characters joined talents to perform on April 10 and II the musical-comedy. Curtain Going Up! The play, written by Gregory Johnston and directed by Brunilda Marrero, under the supervision of Alan Schichtel and choreographer James Testa, dealt with, ironically, the problems of producing a high school production. Carol Fortier served as technical director. Since the cast members were novices, most shared the symptoms of nervousness — wobbly knees, cold and sweaty palms and hearts beating a mile a minute. The closeness of the crew and cast members allowed for enjoyable evenings of practices which were spent in memorizing lines and blocking movements. However, the most challenging task was suppressing outbursts of laughter while trying to maintain character.

For Zenith Staff members, deadline time can be one of the most demanding and frustrating times of the year. Layouts must be redone, copy written and rewritten and then written again, photos must be cropped, staff members must try to find a variety of sentence openers to begin the copy. Photo sessions must be scheduled and the theme selected must be carried out through the whole book. It is not unusual to see Zenith staff members in school late at night, and on Saturdays and holidays. Though the pace is hectic and disagreements sometimes cause tempers to flare, making new friends and getting closer to old ones is a rewarding part of being on the staff.

Against a multicolored neon backdrop, students skate in a world of pounding music and blinking lights. Taking a break. Chris? Not yet accustomed to her skates. WHS senior Christina Yglesias falls to the floor, taking a friend with her. One of the many WHS students employed by the Roller Rink. Veronica McLaughlin works in the snack bar serving beverages and a wide assortment of munchies. Its lights flash, its speakers blast for an average of three sessions a day. A night time alternative to just plain hangin' out in town, the Weehawken Roller Rink made its presence felt this year. You could find Weehawken students there just about any night of the week engulfed in the new wave, punk, and rock and roll music piped throughout the building. They used their discount card for a dollar off and crowded both the adult and children's rinks, especially on weekends, keeping the skate guards on their wheels. Activities other than skating are also available. There is a pro shop stocked with sweatsuits, skates and other sporting ac- cessories. Providing various snacks, the kitchen quenches both the thirst and hunger of patrons. Pinball machines fill the nooks at opposite ends of the first floor. The upper level houses a large rink for private parties. And who knows-the rink may pave the way for other recreational centers within town limits. 65 Write Better, Work Faster! After a hard day's work at the paper. Jennifer Phillips. Charlene Ortiz, and Yanett Pena take some time to sit back and relax. After undergoing various im- provements, the Indian Ink not only became a better paper, according to staff members, but also a richer learning experience. Adviser Anth- ony Colasurdo stressed the impor- tance of meeting deadlines and taught good journalism techniques that would enable the paper to be written better and processed fas- ter. Students learned how to utilize the basics of journalism in their writing, how to create an interest- ing lead, and how to report on a story accurately. At the same time, they received the pleasure of seeing their names in print. The new hour lunch enabled the staff to meet informally for lunch and conversation and develop a closer relationship among its members. Editor-in-chief Yanett Pena's bimonthly column in the Jersey Journal informs the public of important events that occur at WHS. The Indian Ink also exchanged papers with other schools, sent papers to senior citizen groups and to the Garden State National Bank to promote good public relations in the community. 66 Standing: Adviser Anthony Colasurdo.

The stoles you saw on members of the National Honor Society at graduation this year were the result of some hard work on the part of the students involved. They cut and pinned the stoles under the guidance of co-adviser Carol Malsch. The sewing was then done individual- ly. This careful process of cutting, pinning, and sewing took about two weeks. The hardest part came when each of the sixty stoles had to be hand-sewn closed, taking a month's time. The finished products will mark a National Honor Society symbol to be used at induction ceremonies and graduations in the future. Along with the making of the stoles, the society provides many services to the school and community. This year, members also answered letters to Santa written by elementary school children. Admission to the society is dependent on nomination by teachers according to character, leadership and service,• once elected, members must maintain a 10 average. 67 Student Council Expands Programs, Establishes New Activities Enthusiasm, diligence, and determination are the keys to any success story. The Student Council displayed these characteristics over and over again in expanding its existing programs and establishing several new activities. Sponsored by the Student Council, the third annual Football Queen dance was staged in the music room. Students danced to music provided by D.J. Phil Revollo, and later gathered in an excited, huddled mass to watch as the Queen and her court were announced. Due to the efforts of the Executive Committee of the Student Council, consisting of two members from each class, various clubs, such as Spanish and Astronomy, were originated. One responsibility of the executive committee is to approve dub charters. When a charter is accepted, the club becomes official. The committee also arranges and discusses the agenda for the general meetings. Other activities planned by the council included Youth Day. and the Student Exchange. Youth Day, in the past, was designed to give seniors the opportunity to take over a teacher’s classes or a town official’s duties for a day. This year, however, seniors assumed the positions of town officials and school administrators only. The Student Exchange is designed to allow WEIS students to visit other schools and vice-versa, enabling the students from both schools to observe how various aspects of school life are conducted in the other school. Student Council President James Sabato participated in an exchange during his sophomore year with Cliffside Park High School. Jim was highly impressed with their school store and the prospect of a school store at WHS has been on the agenda ever since. One person particularly dedicated to the development of the store was Debbie Cardenas, Student Council Treasurer. Senior Xiomara Ramos served as the chairperson for the Student Exchange program. Her many letters to various schools, requesting their participation in an exchange, helped the program get underway. In addition to the local exchange, plans were also discussed concerning a similar international exchange with England. Student Council Vice-President Grace Almoyan was the main force behind the attempted revival of the ski club. During the 1978- 79 school year, the ski club was established, but was not continued the following year due to several injuries and a lack of rules and regulations. In an effort to reinstate the club, a strict set of rules was devised to allow for a more organized, official club. The Board of Education even agreed to supply group insurance for the activity. For a while it seemed as though the ski club would once again be a part of the extra-curricular activities. However, a rather large obstacle prevented this from happening. Grace soon discovered that no one would take on the job of adviser for the club. 4s persistent as she was. the task proved to be fruitless, and the ski club faded away. 1980-81 also saw the possibility of the purchase of a school bus. Introduced to the Board of Education by the Student Council, the bus would have served as a means of transportation for various teams, squads, and clubs. Plans for the bus. however, fell through, as sufficient funds were not available. Along with the disappointment of the ski club and the bus, though, came the council-sponsored Presidential Classroom for Young Americans and the Hugh O'Brian Youth Leadership Seminar. The former is a program designed to allow high school students to spend a week in Washington, D.C. working with various representatives in govern- ment positions. Seniors Xiomara Ramos and James Sabato were selected to attend this program. The latter is a program in which high school sophomores are given the opportunity to participate in a J!6 day seminar. Maria Sangillo was the worthy recipient of this honor. The Student Council did much to boost school spirit. During Spirit Week, ” WHS students were asked to dress in red and black for Color Day and to wear the wildest possible outfit for Freak-Out Day,” resulting in a wide array of colors and craziness. The overall performance of the 1980-81 Student Council was one of achievement, and growth, and WHS was proud to have such a dedicated group of individuals working together to achieve a common goal-making WHS the best!

Lillian Egues' dream came true when she was crowned football queen of 1980. The selection of the queen and her court was the highlight of the third annual football queen dance. Usually held in the gymnasium, the dance proved to work out very well in the music room, according to students who attended. T wo hundred people danced all night to the sounds of DJ Phil Revollo’s music. Thomas Russo, adviser of the Student Council, which spon- sored the dance, attributed much of the success of the dance to the hard work of the student council officers and to the decorating committee. In addition to Miss Egues' coronation, four runners-up were named to her court: Joann Bly, first runner-up: Hala Liddawi. second runner-up Renee Radi, third runner-up: Gwendolyn Woodring, fourth runner-up.

In order to provide the students with a deeper know- ledge of the Spanish culture, the Spanish Club. El Circulo Hispano, arranged a number of activities. A dinner was held at Christmas at Hernandez's local Spanish restaurant. A trip was made to New York's Town Hall to see the flamenco dancers Jose Greco and Nana Lorca. Other outings included one to Carnegie Hall to see a Spanish musical and in the spring the club saw the musical hit Evita. At the end of the year a taco party took place in the high school lunchroom. One of the most hard- working groups in our school, and one of the smallest, is the library council. Their free periods and after school time were devoted to helping Kathe Schlomann, the media center director, with the various tasks in the library. Duties included stamping books in and out. shelving and discuss- ing recently published books coming into the library to determine whether they were worthy of being included in the library's collection.

Even though this is its first year, its IS members, with the help of the club adviser Thomas Russo, have been able to learn more about astronomy by observing sun spots, watching movies, coming to school at night for sky watches, and by discuss- ing during the meetings differ- ent facts about astronomy. The club also made plans to visit the Hayden Planetarium Museum in New York during the spring. The course in photo- graphy was offered only for half of this school year, because of adviser John Passarotti's sabbatical leave. Students met once or twice a week to take black and white pictures which they later developed. Along with this, they also learned the basic principles of photography. The students who successfully completed the course earned one credit and were given a grade of 1.0. 73 Sophomores Mary Oakley. Carmen Robles. Maribel Munoz get to class in a hurry.

Leather, tight jeans, safe- ty pins, colored hair, cool glasses, chains, mod boots, spiked bands, and black or purple anything were the proper attire emphasized at the Punk Rock Dance. New Wave and Punk music surged through the amps of alumni Chuckie Ulrich and Anthony Stepkovich. By popular demand, the Senior Class organized the evening after the success of the Masquer- ade. The dance steps of the past were reincarnated in the strobe lights of the music room. A bit more bobbing and rolling on the floor were seen than in yesteryears but rem- nants of the go-go were obviously lurking in the shadows. The dance had its high and low points but most punkers thought the night was a blast. 76 An unusual display of punk dancin’ is given by Jennifer Phillips and Susan Park hill.

Christmas vacation was just one day away, and students and teachers were gathered in the auditorium anxiously awaiting the traditional Christmas assembly. The entertainment began with a Christmas play performed by the drama classes. The production was An American Christmas Carol, adapted by James Coopersmith from Charles Dicken's A Christmas Carol. The show featured Jorge Rodriguez as Benedict Slade. Steve Gallagher as Bob Thatcher, and Jennifer Phillips. Tricia Ouidor, and Moira Sullivan as the ghosts of past, present, and future. After the final bows were taken and the curtains closed on the play, the lights went up on Mr. Eghizi at the piano and the school body was led in to a rowdy forty-five minutes of Christmas caroling. The program was a festive prelude to a very merry Christmas vacation and a happy new school year. EVEN FOOTBALL PLAYERS SING! Dave King and Pepe Manso join Grace Almoyan in leading Christmas carols.

With long yardage to go for a first down. Weehawken quick-kicks against Hudson Catholic. Although our football team had enough enthusiasm and spirit, it wasn't enough to win games. At times the squad came close to winning. The St. Peter’s Prep game, for example, was lost by one point (14-13) when the team and coaches unanimously decided to attempt a two-point conversion rather than an extra point. Unfortunately the effort wasn't enough and what could have been a bright spot became just another loss. Head coach Richard Terpak and his staff were able to keep spirits highi however, many players felt that the team would do much better in a division that would match them with opponents from similar sized schools, rather than against powerhouses like Hoboken, Lincoln and Union Hill.

Coach Digiore's hopes for a successful season rested on the talents of veterans Jim Sabato and Raul Cadenas. Handicapped by only two home courts, the team played the majority of its matches on its opponents’ courts.

With them, batters were able to practice on one side of the gym, while the defense worked out on the other side, without fear of being hit by a stray baseball. Returning coaches Tony LaBruno and Bob Schmidt continually worked with the boys to improve their fundamental skills. The coaches relied on the experience and leadership of seniors Victor Vangelakos, Ismael Pabon, Steven Quidor, and Manolo Vidal to help the team improve last year's record.

Faithfully attending practices in both the cramped gym on rainy days and the arid dust of the field in late spring, the girls on softball became well prepared for the most challenging games. Although there are only three seniors on the team, most players have benefited from membership in prior years. They have exper- ience at working together and their coach believes their strength and speed will make them the toughest group since the team originated. Senior catcher Diane Behrens SOFTBALL.

Because of its small size, the girls on the majorette squad had to put even more time, devotion, and dedication into their routines. Captain Angela Rana and co-captain Janice Nafash worked the squad at least two days a week in preparation for performances at the football games and in competitions in January and March. Their precision in baton-twirling and in their dance routines have made the littlest Injun squad one of the best.

Nevertheless, with spirits undaunted, the Color Guard was always ready to march at the sound of the whistle's command. This motley group, with different tastes and personalities, brought finesse to every new routine. Practices brought as much fun as work and allowed Color Guard to revise its movements and twirling. They were always ready to take on the competition. Seniors Mary Cannon and Kathy Kelly 102 Color Guard moving to the sound of a different drum Performing a cress wheel at the pep rally.

Headed by captain Lillian Egues. co-captain hala Liddawi. and adviser Jill Leone, the 21 member squad started a whole new look for the year. All of their effort was put into football and competi- tion routines to not only look the best, but be the best. Many moments and memor- ies include inspiring and personal talks among all of the girls, moving hips to the beat, playing football on breaks, and wearing the football players' jerseys.

Superintendent A recent popular song contained lyrics that fantasized what one could do if time could be put in a bottle. The composer, Jim Croce, gave his version of what he would do if given the power to preserve time in his song Time in a Bottle. Someday, when you reach your goal you will, perhaps, reflect on your high school days and think of old friends, happy experiences, and dedicated teachers that made your educational attainment possible. If your thoughts are warm and positive, you too may wish to put this time in a bottle to preserve and cherish your days at Weehawken High School. Best wishes. Dr. Richard E. Onorevole Superintendent of Schools 113 Keeping WHS In Harmony Like a musical conductor, a principal is in charge of keeping the diverse activities within the school in harmony. This task belongs to Peter Olivieri, whose school spirit has been demonstrated by his presence at just about every school function throughout the year. New additions to the administrative staff were made this year with the appointments of Joseph Wisniewski as assistant principal and Brian Long as athletic director. The administration's priorities and innovations this year included a general stress on the basic skills of reading and math, institution of a one hour lunch period for students and faculty and various informative and entertaining assembly programs. Mr. Olivieri stresses a point to secretary Dolores Dahl. Mr. Wisniewski resolves another problem for a student. 114 Assistant Principal Joseph Wisniewski. Principal Peter Olivieri Analysis and Experimentation Emphasized Carol Molnar Home Economics . John Passaroni Science Timothy Elsasser Industrial Arts Evelyn O’Neil Nurse Thomas Russo Science Ferdinand Improta Science Michael Krause Science Thomas Urchuk Science Janet Fitzpatrick Science At the beginning of the year the Science and Domestic Science Department updates material to determine if any changes should be made in the curriculum. Students are en- couraged by their teachers to develop experiments for entry in the Hudson County Science Fair. Most of the science courses are college prepara- tory. in order to give students a deeper insight as to what college courses are like. Em- phasis is placed on helping students learn an analytical method of studying to help them in college work, rather than on simple memorization of facts. Experimentation is of equal importance in the domestic sciences. Students are encouraged to design their own patterns for clothing, develop new recipes, and acquire varied tastes in food and fashion. In addition, the basic homemaking skills are taught. In the shop courses, students explore the basics of hand tools and simple machine operations. Other courses in this area furnish instructions and experiments in achitectur- al drafting.

Concerned and well-informed, they provide answers to many questions relating to high school, college, and careers. Several field trips to colleges, like Rutgers University, were conducted to present students with a realistic view of courses and campus life. Although they are few in number, the counselors do their best to fulfill the personal needs of each student in anyway they can.

Laura Maione, one of our crackerjack secretaries, sums up the reason she puts up with ornery teachers, hyperactive students and touchy parents. She and the other secretaries certainly do a great job in keeping our school running properly. Their endless duties include phoning, filing and organizing information, but they also, and most importantly, represent our school when a visitor arrives. They are an important part of WHS. and our school just wouldn't be the same without them.

He's the gruff, boisterous, but lovable head cus- todian. As a matter of fact, when you really think about it. Harry and his crew are the ones who run the schooli they are the ones who clean and maintain the school in good condition every day. If the munchies attack, the cafeteria staff is always there to help fight them off. The staff provides students with different meals and other goodies every day with prices that are light on the wallets. Maureen Dunk in Angela Bonito 111 Nicest Smile: Carol Malsch Seniors Turn Tables on Teachers Students' Pet and Most Organized: Neil Reardon Best-looking: Brian Long Most Talkative: Frances Bryngil After four years of high school, the seniors have been evaluated by their teachers time and time again. This year, the tables were finally turned, and the teachers were evaluated by their seniors. Ballots were given out one very chilly January morning in order to elect the teachers who would best fit into the various categories. Except for best- looking and best-dressed, one teacher was picked for each category. Categories were determined in the following way. The person with the nicest smile had to have one that was bright, genuine, and truly pretty. The teacher whose voice is never dull and can always keep the class interested in School Cutie: Harry Untereiner what she's saying was to be elected most talkative. The faculty member chosen as the one who gave the most homework had to have given assignments almost every night. Shy doesn't imply being unfriendly — simply shy. A poised, intelligent, and charm- ing teacher was to be selected most sophisticated. The facul- ty member who is an all-round Best-looking and Most Homework: Carol Gallagher Nicest Eyes: Mary Wilson Best dressed and Most Sophisticated: Julia Buda Hardest Marker and Hardest Testt Thomas Urchuk Most Athletic: Robert Schmidt Most School Spirit: Anthony Colasurdo Best dressed and Shyest.- Carnig Nersesian nice person, sweet, and lovable as a teddy bear” was to be chosen as School Cutie. The teacher who is involved in school affairs and helps to build up the morale of the students was to be elected the person with the most school spirit. The per- son who participates in sports in and out of school was to be most athletic. The faculty member who consis- tently gives hard tests and who you couldn’t squeeze” a good grade from was to be given the honor of hardest marker and hardest test. And the teacher who has a place for every thing and everything in its place was to be elected most organ- ized. 113 Teachers Cut Out-,” Strike Lasts 9 Days One of the things that will make the 1980-SI school year stand out was the nine day teachers’ strike which disrupted classes during September. The strike was a result of a breakdown in negotiations during a contract dispute. Students attended half-day sessions and spent most of the time in the auditorium in the hope that the teachers would return to their classrooms. Picket lines paraded outside of all school entrances. It was unusual to find teachers outside of the building during school hours, and students inside waiting for their return. 114 Putting Teachers To Music He's so shy.
