The Aand Marching Unit gave half-time and competition rout- ines o sparkling new look. Seniors scored huge successes with their holiday fruit soles and candy soles, and brought new meaning to the word bizarre with their wocky outfits on Freoky Friday and at the Senior Masquerade. UUeehawken Stadium got a million-dollar facelift, which, in the words of Mayor Stanley locono, would turn it from the worst field in the county to the best. Right at the outset, we felt it.

T ns the year progressed, there was further evidence of ex- cellence. The bond's expansion to a true marching squad ond their respectable performances in competitions at- tested to their hard work and perseverance. Members also sported new uniforms and new flogs, bought with money they raised themselves. Members of the Notional Honor Society continued the ac- tivities which hove provided many services to needy and un- derprivileged neighbors in the community. They collected eye- glasses and stuffed Christmas stockings for senior citizens at a nearby nursing home. They wrote letters from Santa Claus to elementary school children, and also collected canned goods, with the help of Student Council members, to be distrib- uted to needy families during the holiday season. In sports, the basketball team mounted a courageous de- fense of their 1986 27-2 record and SCSI Olympic Division championship, while the entire athletic department surmoun- ted the crisis of a huge budget cut by maintaining all sports programs with a minimum of cutbacks in equipment and per- sonnel. In every area, UJeehawken students demonstrated that special something that pushed us a cut above.

It took on many appearances — the almost 100% participation in Freaky Friday for the first time ever, the incredibly diverse fashions that reflected the cosmopolitan atmo- sphere at school, the first junior prom ever and the first luau. It reflected pep rallies where students actually had pep, tradi- tions like the senior masquerade and the crowning of the homecom- ing king and queen, and it caught students in the act of just being themselves — in hobbies, jobs and conversations. The variety of interests spiced up student life. Toga parties, movies, dates and participation in community activities put life in our lives. Because of all these things, life was indeed a cut above. WHIl€ CHRNGING FOR GVM. the girls' locker room is o convenient ploce to dis- cuss the events of the doy. ”SH€'S GOING OUT WITH WHO?” ex- dolms Rosorlo Colobrese In disbelief of the rumor she hos heord. TH( ROVS' LOCKCR ROOM was o popular place to discuss girls and sports, the boys’ two favorite subjects. I I | Qt do boys really talk I ! labout? Wouldn't most girls like to know? Chances are that the answer is yes, they would like to know. Well, here's the answer. According to WHS boys, their main topic was, what else, but girls. That's not the only thing they talk about, though. Senior Orlando Martinez said, “Well, we talk mostly about girls, but we talk about other things too, like sports, music, and movies.” Most girls seem to think that boys have a one track mind, but they don't. Of coure their major concern is to look and sound cool. All in all boys talk about two things, girls and everything else, everything else breaks down into sports, rock- n-roll, movie, gossip about other guys, drugs and alcohol, books, clothes, and hair. Boys and gossip - that's whot girls mostly talk about. Actually, boys ore the main thing they gossip about. They gossip about girls too, though, especially girls they dislike. Clothes, hair, music and moke-up ore also at the top of their lists when talking. I would soy the thing I talk about most is boys, said Him Makowski. Girls talk about the some things boys do, just in o different perspective. The truth about ■een ■alk everything is subject to Students took special core in change, and nowhere was picking out what they wore, from this more evident than in earrings to T-shirts to shoes, flc- the fads and fashions of UUee- cessories ployed a big port in howken students.

Boys, on the other bond, concen- trated more on their hair than on clothing. Shaved and spiked hair, mohicans, and hoir that hung in their eyes were some of the very distinctive styles that appeared around the school. On the way to school and bock, boys could be found skateboarding down Lib- erty Place and Highwood Avenue. One could also see students walking around with wolkmons, which were occasionally given to Dr. Olivieri to hold on to for o while, since they were prohibited. Mon- kee-mania swept the school. Their con- certs and T.V. episodes attracted the at- tention of many students. Students hod o definite knock for latching onto o new fashion or on up-and- coming fod and adopting it to create the personal styles that mode them unique.

These were some of the things that were heard on October 10 - Senior Freaky Friday. The underclassmen looked be- wildered os they watched the seniors parade around the hall- way in the craziest outfits possi- ble. “The seniors looked like they didn't belong in our school. They looked like people from New Vork,'' said freshman Joson Czor- nomor. Among the sights to see were jams and long johns and stock- ings, mismatched socks and shoes, hoir dyed every color of the rainbow, strange moke-up designs and o variety of hots. During first period many se- niors were leery about how freaky to be, but os the day progressed, many people added moke-up, sprayed their hoir dif- ferent colors and even switched shoes to get os freaky os possi- ble.

On this Freaky Friday some- thing freaky actually did happen. On €ldorado Place many stu- dents peered out of the window to watch the aftermath of o cor accident. One cor was coming down the hill and another was pulling out of a spot. To ovoid o collision the first cor swerved off the rood, hit o brick wall ond also hit the bock of the other cor. No one could get the woman out of her cor, so senior €ddie Martin forced the door open ond got her out. The police were colled ond everything was settled. Fortunately, no one wos seri- ously hurt. As for Freaky Friday, Mrs. Bryant, senior class adviser said, Freaky Friday wos cre- ativity ot its peak. n UJRCKV GROUP OF SCNIORS show off their style in the auditorium. €V€N THOUGH IT UJRS R CRRZV DRV, Vvette Pastor and Roxie Mento still give their attention to Mr. Ter pak's vocabulary review.

Getting to School Takes ime Because the township's area is spread out over a few miles, one of the hardest ports of the day for UJHS students is waking up in the morning and finding o way to get to school. There ore students who live down- town and they usually find them- selves waiting ot the bus stop on Pork Avenue. Many students who live up on the Heights usually spend their money taking taxis. An unusual way some students get to school is by skateboard. Students ride their skateboards and then keep them in their locker for their journey home. One student rides his bike to school and chains it on o pole a block away. Some students ot UUHS hove their own cor, some students beg their parents into driving them. Of course, there is always the most reliable means of getting to school — on foot. I6 ' tu ft€CflUS€ TH€V LIV€ SO FAR FROM SCHOOL, Jose Lopez ond Louis Giordono eot their breokfost during their wolk.

The prom brought out ■ A arty ecple The Class of 1987 showed that they were o trend-setting group when they brought bock on old tradition on May 31, 1986. They held the first junior prom in over 20 years, which focused on the theme, R Night to Remember.'' The stage was set in the music room, where oil the decorations revolved around o pink and purple color scheme. Making the music room look nice was hard, but our hard work paid off and the room looked great, sold Kim Mokowski. DJ Nick Senlice provided donee music throughout the night, and the juniors en- joyed o delicious Itolion buffet which includ- ed stuffed shells, chicken parmigiana, ond other treats. Some students arrived with dates, and others come alone, but everyone was ex- cited about the return of the prom. Orlando Martinez said, It was great to see that it wos our doss which brought bock o long held tradition after so many years. Nicki Greco, another junior who attend- ed, said, It wos o lot of fun and definitely o time that I'll always remember. RFT€R WORKING ON TH€ DCCORRTIONS, Jonet Ro- driquez takes o much-needed break.

The cheerleaders performed their routine on the stage ond they also wished the seniors farewell in o cheer. Then the moment orrived. Nominees were announced and the runners-up chosen. The remaining seniors now anxiously owoited the outcome of the contest. The crowd applauded energetically os Jorge Gollinot and Gino Stratton were named King and Queen. Asked how she felt about being chosen, Gino replied, I was so honored to be announced the Queen of UUHS. It was o great feeling to know that so many people voted for me. Jorge felt equally proud. As o fitting end to the festivi- ties, the Indians captured their first victory against St. Mary's, 12-0, at the Thanksgiving game. FIRST RUNN6RS UP Vlrgilio Fernandez ond Janet Rodriguez.

After all the ingeniously disgui- sed seniors had assembled, ooh- ing and aahhing as new arrivals made their entrances, the evening got underway. A cold buffet was served, which featured delicious cold cuts, potato and macaroni sa- lads, and a huge hero sandwich mode by the “freaky people themselves.

UUith o school population of only 450 or so, there's certainly ample op- portunity for everyone to get to know everyone else, for teachers to work more closely with their students, and cvie for staff and students to be just a little bit more caring and concerned for one another. The close-knit atmosphere al- lows for honesty — students, admin- istrators, and faculty members can talk freely and frankly about matters they feel need to be changed. Yes, people are what makes a school, and the people of Weehawk- en High have the spunk and sincerity that put them a cut above the rest. Dolores Hnnese Felicito Ryolci nosemorie Rernordo Rod Rice Desmond Roule Timothy Ryront Cormen Coo Lisa Coposso Coridad Catoyo Dolores Cioce Daring to be Different Many students participate in several school activities. There are a few, however, who develop the talents they have ex- tramurally. John McCollum is one of these feuu. This self-taught musician admires Heavy Metal music, fl couple of his fa- vorite groups include Dio, King Dia- mond. and Merciful Fate. In addition to being a talented vo- calist. John has learned to play the bass guitar, keyboards, drums, and lead gui- tar. John's appearance sets him apart from other students as uuell. He can nor- mally be seen clad in leather uuith a jean jacket displaying pins depicting various groups. John's long hair and five earrings complete the look. But John can hardly be considered a Heavy Metal Freak. In fact, he abhors being stereotyped. Stereotyping hinders realism; realism comes from knouuing not guessing, said John. John attends Hudson County Vo- cational School in the afternoon. In vo- cational school, John takes an auto me- chanics course. John is quite interested in the curriculum at vocational school and thinks,' ‘The teachers are cool, and the time schedule is great! Spending mornings at UUHS is something John also enjoys. His favor- ite class is physical education, uuhere he spends most of his time in the uueight room. His current benching uueight is tuuo hundred ninety pounds. The main reason John mould like to attend one of the armed forces is be- cause it uuill give him the opportunity to travel and make extra money, using his keen sense of humor, John commented, The Rir Force is paying for my Ferrari.

A + Adviser I I I here would the seniors be I I I without her? Just whot would V they hove done If adviser Mary 8eth Bryont hadn’t come to the rescue? It's probably better not to think about the answers to those questions, and count our blessings. Mrs. Bryont was welcomed to UUeehawken High School just lost year, and she has al- ready left her mark both os the senior class adviser and UUHS’s Home eco- nomic teacher. The main reason for her immediate popularity among the four year students, and the student body for that matter, was her effort to help the seniors raise money for a memora- ble senior year. Her first idea, a candy sale of five different kinds of chocolates, went well for those students that actually partici- pated. Of the entire senior class, only thirty-seven percent sold chocolate. Said Mrs. Bryant, “There could’ve been better cooperation among the seniors, but of those that did, the out- come was successful. Following the candy sale was a Christmas sale that boasted an assort- ment of forty-seven different items, but a percentage of thirty-three partici- pants. However, despite the low num- ber of those involved, this sale went particularly well. The fruit sale consisted of grapefruits and naval oranges, which were sold by bags and boxes. It was this fundraiser that attracted the least amount of “sales seniors , but again, for those that participated the sale boosted each senior's individual account. UUhat was all this selling and buying leading to? fl fun-filled, action-packed senior year of course. So thanks to Mrs. Bryant and her ideas, many sen- iors were able to enjoy the activities granted to them ond thus add to their senior year memories.

However, that stereo- type does not apply to senior Brian Dorsey. Although he does well in sever- al sports, Brian also excells academical- ly Brian was the captain of the var- sity soccer team, captain of the varsity basketball team, ond o varsity baseball player. In soccer, Brian was named to the flll-State team, with fifteen career goals and twelve career assists, but said he only played to get in shape for basketball. During basketball season, Brian was a starting guard, and was also a co-captain along with senior Juan Rodri- guez. He averaged sixteen points per game. His teammates also think highly of him. He’s probably the best player on the team, said Juan. Joey Sabato added, He makes the practices and the games interesting, and he isn't selfish with the ball. UUhen asked what he thinks of Brian, Assistant Coach Jeff Principe said, He's a pleasure to coach. He's dedicated, and he works hard. He's the All American Boy. Mr. Long simplified that statement by say- ing, He's the greatest. In addition to sports, Brian was a member of the Honor Society, a mem- ber of the Math League, and vice presi- dent of the Student Council. As vice president, I served as a bridge be- tween the students and the administra- tion,” he said. In his spare time Brian collects baseball cards, enjoys ploying scrabble and Trivial Pursuit, going to the movies, hanging out with his friends, and cook- ing. Brian said, I like to cook In school and eat at home. In the future, Brian plans to attend college either at St. Peter’s, Rutger’s. Seton Hall, or Drew University. He plans to have a career in accounting or eco- nomics. DINO D'lPPOUTO, 95Houxhurstflve. Football 9. 11. 12; Base- ball 10.

B ringing in the Bucks Money mokes the world go 'round. This rang true for sen- iors this year because of the great demand on them to come up with o certain amount of funds for each indi- vidual senior account, fill together, each student needed to earn up to about 200 dollars for the whole senior year. Some of the activities and other expenses included the prom bid, which was 55 dollars per person, the year- book, which wos 40 dollars, the mas- querade, cops and gowns, and the class trip. To raise money for all of these ex- penditures. the seniors could either contribute dues to their accounts, or they could participate in doss activities and get o certain percentage of credit. There hove been o few fundraisers such os o Codbury candy sole, a Christ- mas sole, in which the students sold o variety of 45 different items, a poster sole, and a fruit sole. According to Mrs. Bryant the participation wos very dis- appointing. During the first fund raiser, only 30 percent of the class took port. Participation went down after that. The students who did not gain money through activities hod to contribute from their own pockets. The results of these soles benefited the few who helped, but the majority did nothing to contribute to the class treasury. Mrs. Bryant soid, The biggest problem wos the participation. I feel that there should hove been much more. The students hove oil these great ideas, but they can't be carried out if no one pays his dues. Mrs. Bry- ant anticipated that many students would wait until the lost minute to bring their account up to dote, but she con take comfort in one fact - it'll be five years before she has to start fund rais- ing for the first doss reunion.

The most important job I've done os on officer was fund raising. Senior year was the hardest because I hod to moke sure there was enough money in the treasury for oil the senior activi- ties, she said. Besides her schoolwork, which al- ways comes first. Kim has dedicated most of her time to the Zenith. She joi- ned os o freshman and picked up things fast. Because of oil her hard work and dedication, Kim was the first junior to be selected os on assistant editor. She then served os editor-in-chief in her se- nior year. Kim has been involved in many oth- er school activities os well. Besides having been a member of the flaggie squod, she kept the stots for the foot- boll and wrestling teams during the foil and winter months. Kim also showed tremendous school spirit. If she wasn't making signs for the Indians, she was doing something else to roily everyone. The biggest thing, literally, that Kim did was moke inspirational signs for the football team that were sixteen feet long, and went from one goal post to the other. ULIhen Kim found time for herself, she liked to spend it with her friends and family. Sometimes she pursued her hobby by adding to her collection of photos of family and friends that she has acquired over the years. Kim said,1 '€ven though I hove a lot of responsibilities and don't get much time for myself, I get o feeling of accom- plishment when o job is well done. VV€TT€ PRSTOR, 3412 Pork five.

It's going to be hard finding someone new who I con tell ev- erything to and shore the most impor- tant things of my life with. €ven though her friends will oil go different ways, they do plan to keep in touch. Many times, keeping in touch is close to impossible because everyone plans to live life in o different way. Many move owoy or leave for college. Others join the military ond lose con- tact.

Al- though this is q ques- tion that is frequently asked, not many people ujill ansuuer the way that Martha Delgado and Tracey Vavrecan did. Both Martha and Tracey attended Army basic training in Fort Dix, NJ for nine weeks during the summer. Martha trained in the medical field, and Tracy trained as an administrative specialist. After completing the nine week course, both girls earned the rank of Private €-2. It was a great experience, said Martha, and it made me realize that I could do a lot more than I thought I could. For her AIT (Advanced Individual Training), Martha wants to go to Fort Sam Houston in Texas. After that is completed, she will either go to college for art or enlist in the reserves. For Tracey's AIT, she wants to go to Fort Jackson in South Carolina, or to UUarrant Officers School to learn to be a helicopter pilot. After she completes her training she will enlist in the Army as an active member. It was hard work, but it was fun. I made good friends and I learned a lot of new and exciting things. Sasic training was certainly not easy, though, according to the girls. One of the exercises, the Paragon Trail, was especially memorable. Vou stand in formation and they throw tear gas at you, said Tracy. Then you start marching on the trail and you hove to react to flares and other combat conditions the instructors impose on you. Then you're gassed again and you have to 'low-crawl' while they shoot live ammo at you. I'll never forget it. 4 UZ SUAR€Z, 3412 Pork rtve Bond 9.10.

The most typ- ical ring consisted of the red stone with either the year of graduation, the Indian mascot, or some athletic squad the person participated in on the sides. One big step token was com- ing of age - the driving age, that is. Many who received their licen- ses seemed to feel that it mode them more mature. It gave them greater responsibilities and the feeling of independence. Instead of a junior prom to ush- er out the year, the juniors voted on o luou. It was held in May. The greatest milestone of oil was yet to come- becoming o se- nior at lost. Rosario Coiobrese said, I can't wait. Vou’re more im- portant than everyone else. It's like being in the limelight. Waiting in THE Wings Junior year was o time for reaching the milestones that mode students more mature, more responsible and more impor- tant members of the school commu- nity. It all started from the first week when juniors were told about the PSRT's. They hod one month to prepare. Students studied by using the PSRT booklet provided, giving themselves sample tests, and re- viewing important points with Mrs. Molsch day after day in Cnglish doss. Rndrea Costello said, I was very nervous because I wonted to do well. 8y taking the PSRT, it would give me some kind of idea how I would do next year on the SRT.

Involved Getting involved. That's what junior Stacey Gallo believes in. and she backs it up with an unending list of activi- ties. UUhen she first came to LUee- hawken High School, Stacey made it a point to join as many clubs as her schedule would permit. She started off with three: the newspa- per staff, the International Club, and the JV softball team. To top it off, she was nominated as home- room and Student Council repre- sentative, and won. Stacey was quickly promoted to treasurer of the Student Council in her sophomore year, and was named secretory for the home- room reps. In addition, she was named to the executive committee of the Student Council, where she helped to plan the students' agen- do for the year. In sophomore year, Stacey be- come the recipient of the presti- gious Hugh O’Brien Future Leaders of America award, sponsored by the Hugh O’Brien Vouth Founda- tion. This was o nationwide award offered only to sophomores who successfully maintained a 2.0 grade point overage and who dis- played exceptional leadership abil- ity. Asked about her busy sched- ule, Stacey sold, I enjoy being busy. It’s very difficult for me to find time, but I do. I use my weekends to cotch up on anything I may hove missed the week before. And besides, she added with o smile, it’s a lot of fun.

Joey has already mode his mark. One way he did this was to be- come the first sophomore In quite a while to start varsity football os o quarterback. Although this year's football season hod a very disap- pointing outcome, Joey proved to be on asset to the team by scoring five of the seven total touch- downs. Asked about the post sea- son. Joey replied, I was really dis- appointed because I know our team really pushed themselves in practice, but we hod o lot of mental breakdowns in the beginning of the season that really carried over. Joey was looking forward to o winning season in basketball, es- pecially after the less than success- ful showing by the football squad. Lost year, Joey distinguished him- self os o freshman starter on the championship-winning basketball team. Joey commendably scored an average of six points per gome during that season. His hopes for the team included winning the coun- ty title, and doing well in the state play-offs this yeor. Asked about the main differ- ences between football and bas- ketball coaching, Joey answered, Football practices ore easier be- cause the same plays are drilled over and over, where as in basket- ball, there are hundreds of plays.” Joey’s main influences are basketball coaches Jeff Principe and Brian Long, and his father, James Sabato. They encourage him not only athletically, but also academically. Joey knows he is go- ing to hove to apply himself better if he expects to do well in oil of his classes. In his freshman year, Joey re- ceived honorable mention, and uuos his homeroom representative. He uuos also the recipient of tuuo varsity letters, one in basketball and one in baseball. This year, Joey uuos a member of the Student Council, and the Moth League. He received honor- able mention again and also re- ceived on additional three varsity letters. Although he hasn't yet decid- ed uuhat he uuould like to do later on In life, he realizes it's Important to go to college.

UUhile Annette Nun- ziato was recuperating from a kid- ney transplant, the sophomore class aios left ujithout on adviser. There aiere no other experi- enced personnel oble to fill the po- sition. In light of this fact, UUHS's principal gave into the soft-spot in his heart, ond accepted the job be- cause, he said, It gives me on op- portunity to get closer to stu- dents.1' Dr. Olivieri wouldn't hove been able to fulfill his task hod it not been for one of the most dynamic salespeople in the school secre- tory Ann Morie Figueroa. The two teamed up with class officers to devise o plan for selling chrysan- themums ot Thanksgiving time which profited the sophomore doss approximately S600. In addi- tion to the Mum Sole, Dr. Olivieri was responsible for an equally suc- cessful poinsettio sole that was conducted during December. On January 31st the original advisor returned. He may hove breathed a sigh of relief with Ms. Nunzioto's return, but Dr. Olivieri did on extremely good job heading the doss for three months.

Maria formerly attended the fi. Harry Moore School for the Dis- abled in Jersey City. She was main- streamed from there into a public school system. She was born with Spina Bifi- da. a condition which damages the nerves of the spine, and mokes it necessary for her to walk with the use of crutches. fit first she found the transition to public school difficult. The har- dest thing for her was getting to know everyone. To moke things o little easier for her, Morio was allowed to leave class a little earlier to ovoid crowded hallways. Some of her classes were €n- glish I CP, UUorld History, Resource Room Reading, Moth, Typing, and Computer Programming. She is o member of the Indian Ink Staff, and has plans to become a computer programmer in the future. Some of the things Mario didn't like were when students treated her extra-nice because of her disability. She knows they mean well, but she would like it if every- one treated her normally. Rsked if she liked UUHS, Mario replied, Yes. fit first I wos nervous but getting used to the new school, and new people wos exciting - o challenge.

The girls worked along with the band and the color guard, and per- formed at football games and com- petitions. The girls added variation to the halftime routines by working with guns, then laying them aside, and resuming the show using silver streamers. The rifle section also helped the color guard by trying their hand at the tall flag during the last song in the routine, ’‘Hello Flgain. Since most of the girls were freshmen, they got along well. The squad had no official cap- tain, but two girls, Gisela Garcia and Janet Colina, were in charge of giving commands and teaching the routines to the other girls, who in turn worked hard to look good. flcting-captain Gisela said, ‘T think we did pretty well this year, even though the squad lacked ex- perience. I hope next year more girls will join the squad.” Roaring Rifles BOARD OF €DUCATION. Seated. Joseph Rutigliono. Michelle Comerlengo. €. Lynne Arrlcole. Silvio Burlo. Vice-President Gen- noro T.

Many supplies tuere put on hold, and ath- letic programs, along ujith person- nel positions in sports, were tre- mendously reduced. Also, as o result of the budget cut, no new programs wre planned or introduced, and it may be o while before any will get under way. The administration increased restrictions on attendance by low- ering acceptable absences from ten days a marking period and 28 days o year, to eight days a mark- ing period and 24 days o year. fortunately, the cuts did not affect the quality of many pro- grams. Most clubs still remained ac- tive. The school bond, for example, did not only expand in size but also in their role at the gomes and school functions. The performance of freshmen on the High School Pro- ficiency Test wqs the highest in the county. In many other areas os well, the administration, faculty and stu- dents displayed their ingenuity in keeping programs and services running smoothly. Cutting Costs MISS MARV C.

(companion dog), has even appeared on the cover of Video magazine. Com- menting on his four-time Best of Breed winner, Mr. Reardon soys, He's o gentleman, like me! Remy appears in shows monthly. Mr. Reardon describes his role in the shows os the chauffeur and the go-fer. His wife actually works with the dog. Mr. Reardon isn't the only teacher to hove a fancy pet. Mr. Moyer owns o dog os well. His Coirn Terrier is named Moyer's McDuff of UUildwood. Unlike Lonce ond Cuddles, Duffy ond Miranda, Mr. Moyer's cot, get along fine. Mr. Moyer realizes that remembering your pet's birthday is important. Duffy was born on August 11, 1974 ond Miranda on Memorial Day, 1982. On a less serious note, Mr. Polozzi has hod o number of pets that go os quickly os they come. €v- ery October his children win a few gold fish ot on annual Halloween party. This year's lucky number was seven. Three of the fish received nomes, but Mr. Polozzi hod to moke sure that the kids didn't become too attached to their newly ac- quired pets; they gradually die over o period of about six months.

Mrs. Schlomann also soid that she can't stand it when stu- dents throw things around in the li- brary. I hove to take out the car- pet sweeper constantly, she groaned. Mr. Colasurdo's impression of o gum-snopping, hip-wiggling, lady of the evening” certainly conveys his distaste for the habit. It gets o lough out of the class, he soys, but it gets my message across os well.

In front of the class, teachers ap- pear to have everthlng under control, but there are times when they lose their cool and embarrass themselves. Of course, they try to cover It up and act very casual about It, but once It happens, the students and the teachers never forget about It. Mr. Mayer tried to cover his embarrassing moment up. One day ujhile teaching his J8T class, he slipped and fell. To hide his embar- rassment. Mr. Mayer said, I just did that to wake all of you up.

He then used his tie to demon- strate the reactions of odds and bases by turning it bock to blue. Ties seem to be o hazard to Mr. Russo's health. Another time he got it caught in the shade string and nearly hanged himself. His stu- dents were unsure if they could lough or not, because of the seri- ous manner Mr. Russo displays in doss. While Mr. Moyer's and Mr. Russo's little accidents occurred in post years, Mrs. Nelson hod a little slip-up ot the beginning of this year. Fortunately for her, three kind juniors were there to offer some assistance, when she fell in the cor- ridor. Some embarrassing incidents con be humorous; however, others aren’t. Mrs. Nelson, for example, injured her hand when she fell.

The secretaries in the Board of education office recalled their glori- ous moment os they thought about the school system's success in passing a desegregation plan. Mrs. Pot Dorsey, o secretory in the Board of education office said, It ujos a sense of accom- plishment uuhen the plan ujos ac- cepted.'' Mrs. Jeon Dioz, secretory in the Superintendent's office, uuho witnessed the ups and downs of the bottle for 10 years, simply said, Ditto. One glorious moment that ac- tually happened in school was re- coiled by Frances Bryngil. In 1972, Mrs. Bryngil's €nglish I college preparatory class pre- pared o literary magazine of their own. The magazine was used by linguistics people os o role model, and it showed on example of fresh- man accomplishments. It was glo- rious because os a teacher I was able to see concrete results of my teaching through the creative minds of my students, she said. Though the moments of ac- complishment sometimes seemed few and for between, most teach- ers and staff members recalled theirs with fondness.

The Notional Honor So- ciety visited the Metropolitan Op- era House to see Manon Lescot” and the International Club attended o production of The Nutcracker in Union City.

Graphics were used for the first time to add interesting detail to the pages of the Zenith. Screened boxes, tool lines ond un- usual headline styles oil added to the overall effect of the book. The members of the staff worked long and hard to meet their deadlines by taking photographs around the school, writing stories about students, teachers, and ac- tivities, ond preparing layouts. Deadlines were hectic, but the work was always done on time. There were, however, some problems faced by the staff. Year- book adviser Anthony Colasurdo said, This year we hod more ads than pages, ond that con moke o yearbook sloppy. It took a lot of maneuvering to get things to fit properly. Another difficult deci- sion that hod to be mode was con- cerning o theme. The theme,''A Cut Above,” was discussed ond agreed upon by the staff members mainly because it points out the su- perior quality of UUHS students and teachers. Listening to the radio and snokcing on junk food helped the Zenith staff enjoy themselves while they worked. The atmosphere in room 2 was charged at deadline time when Mr. Colasurdo ran franti- cally from table to table helping dis- traught staff members. Mr. Cola- surdo is o great guy ond the year- book wouldn't be the some without him, said sophomore Quono 8ice. editing the yearbook takes o lot of responsibility, and editor-in- chief Kim Mokowski, ond assistant editors Aosorio Callabrese, Magda Jiminez ond Shaggy Kolyoni deliv- ered. Although they participated in other school activities, they found the time to drop by room 2 fre- quently to check up on things, help inexperienced staff members, ond work on their deadlines os well. Se- nior editor Kim Mokowski praised the staffs work by saying, I'm re- ally proud of this year's yearbook, because we've done o lot of tings with graphics, ond I'm confident it will be o success.

Hard News and Hot Chili Because of the hard work of co-editors Stacy Koroch and Jennifer Oujensby, the Indian Ink has steadily improved over the post year, fit least that's the opin- ion of adviser Anthony Colosurdo. They've just been great these post three years. I'm crushed that I'm losing them, he said. He explained that they formed the nu- cleus of the staff and tuere respon- sible for just about everything — from in-depth stories to attractive layouts. The 16-member staff put out four issues this year and their top priority remains finding a ujoy to fund more issues. It's tough to make the news- paper hove on impact on school life when it only comes out four times o year, sold Stocy. Vou can't stay on top of things. The Internotionol Club's major event took place in December when they attended o perform- ance of The Nutcracker ot the Pork Theater in Union City. After the show, they ate lunch ot the Chili Cafe, o new Mexican restaurant on Pork Ave., where they sampled such delicacies os enchiladas, tocos, burritos, mash- ed bean dishes, and bonono frit- ters.

Helping Hands Since one of the Notional Honor Society’s main pur- poses cues to serve others, the group tried to do quite o bit in order to help the community. During the Christmas season, the mem- bers curote Sonto-letters to the el- ementary school children. They also stuffed stockings with condy to bring to the Fritz Reuter Rltenheim, o neorby senior citizens' home. Some of the members also song Christmas carols to the residents. Another service NHS offered was the tutoring of students, both in the high school and in elementary schools. To raise money for the Ronald McDonald House, Scott product coupons were collected. Fund raising brought in about $350. This was accomplished through the sole of stuffed animals, key chains, and o sole ot the Ullee- howken fleo market. This was oil in cooperation with the Zenith staff. There were no real problems on the Honor Society, but there was o decrease in members. The real problem there, said adviser Carol Molsch, is that there wer- en't many people who mode the first level of eligibility, which is o 2.0 grade point overage.''

In November, the Homecoming donee was spon- sored by the Student Council, which also held the elections and crown- ing ceremony of the king and queen, fl food drive also took place to supply the poor with enough to eot at Christmas time. January wormed a little boy’s heart when the group decided to sponsor on American Indian child through Save the Children Founda- tion. In February, the Valentine’s Day carnation sole took place. Stu- dents were able to buy red or white carnations to be delivered on Friday 13, the day before the actual holiday. Students could also include o message with the flower. The group also planned to propose o new dress code and take port in this year’s UUalk-A- Thon.

When will they ever end? Students in school will usually soy anything to keep themselves from getting into trouble. They moke excuses for almost everything: being late, not doing homework, staying for detention, not be- ing prepared for a test or gym. forgetting books, and the list goes on and on. Since they hove no time to stall, to come up with on answer, kids sometimes soy the first thing that pops into their heads. Usually it's the most ridiculous thing you've ever heard. For example. €nglish teacher Anthony Colosurdo sold, I hod one student l€NDING A H€LPING HAND. Orlando Martinez explains a drafting lesson to Dana DeCosmis.

Some students, howev- er. plan whot they ore going to soy. These excuses ore more creative and imagina- tive. One student who was late for school said. As I was getting ready for school, my contacts fell out and I hod to search the entire room before I found them. Another creative one was that while the student was walking his dog. the dog sow o cot and it broke loose. He then hod to chose after him oil over town. Some excuses ore so old and common that the teacher automatically assumes the person is lying. Once In a blue moon the student does tell the truth, and, if he uses one of these common ones, the teacher doesn't believe him. Some common ond old ex- cuses include: My mother's cor wouldn't start; my alarm clock didn't go off; I left my homework in my friend's lock- er. She is absent, ond I don't know the combination.- or I wasn't in class when you gave it out. Students ore always telling me in gym that they don't hove their sweatpants because their mother washed them.

UUhen asked what their greatest academic fear was, many came up with bizarre answers, while others were more under- standable. Senior Michele Doherty said, I'm afraid to leave the security of high school. This fear of the unexpected is a com- mon one. Seniors are forced to leave the com- fort of high school to which they hove devoted four years of their lives.

My greatest fear is to get called on in class and not know the an- swer, commented Vo- hayra Guerrero. Many times a teacher may call on a student and not get an answer. It is embarrassing to just sit there and stare at the teacher with a blank face. Perhaps, however, the greatest academic fears are those of fresh- men. A freshman who chose to remain anony- mous had something to say. ”1 have many aca- demic fears, but my great- est one is not graduat- ing. The difficulty of get- ting adjusted to the pres- sures and the madness of high school life can certain- ly be upsetting and some- times worsens as students are challenged with com- petition for popularity and grades. Academically, get- ting on the honor roll is an accomplishment, but many worry about just graduat- ing. Though the fears nev- er go away, most students learn to adjust and some even relish the pressure that drives them to be the best that they can be.

Used to catch up on favorite soap operas when you're not home, rent that movie that you missed, or record an edu- cational program — the VCR has many useful pur- poses. For many teachers the VCR has become a helpful teaching tool, fl lot of teachers use videos to moke classics more under- standable. Fran Sryngil and Tony Colosurdo, for In- stance, use the videos Bo- rneo and Juliet, Oliver Twist, and ? Tale of Two Cities to moke those clas- sics more enjoyable to their freshman classes. I find that a lot of kids who don't like the book sometimes change their minds when they see the work performed, said Mr. Colosurdo. There ore also teach- ers who do not use VCRs. George Polozzi said, UUhenever I go to look for it. it's being used. If I hod it I would use it for both my art and tech theater dos- ses.'' Rnother teacher who doesn't use a VCR is Neil Reardon. I prefer movies because they hove a bet- ter image and o bigger screen, he said. Rnother group of peo- ple who use o VCR ore the sports coaches. Rll of the coaches hove their games toped for the team to see afterwords. Both success- ful and unsuccessful ploys ore reviewed and perfec- ted for the next gome.

Some teachers who would use the VCR com- plain that they never hod access to it since it was donated for the sole use of the Cnglish deportment by on alumnus of UJ.H.S. The administration's plans to purchase additional VCR s were cancelled be- cause of the budget cuts this year. I don't use it mainly because it's never available — it would help my classes a lot. said Sheldon Moyer, business teacher. The budget cut has prevented WHS from buy- ing more VCRs for the time being,- nevertheless, many teachers ore making do with whot is available and using the VCRs to the full- est.

A student who mokes high honors usually earns the praise of parents, administrators and teachers. It reflects hours of studying and constant discipline. If you're o good student, you'll always strive for high honors. ’' said freshman Camille Petrizzo. It’s not always easy to main- tain o place on the honors list. Superior students participate in extracurricular activities, hove jobs or lead active social lives. The student must be able to budget the time available in order to get school work done.

The girls' squad, also success- ful in '86, mounted o sustained at- tack in on attempt to overtake Cmerson Boro for the division cham- pionship. Though the football, baseball and soccer teams weren't os suc- cessful os they uuould hove liked, oil the sports squads proved competi- tive in the tough Bergen County league. Support squads like the bond, bond front and cheerleaders also sported neuu looks and entered a number of competitions during the year.

Fumbled Hopes felt that we were a bet- ter team than our record indicated, and that in five of our nine gomes, we were either tied or oheod ot halftime, only to lose three of those gomes. Such was head coach Richard Terpak's summary of the UUHS foot- boll squad's performance in the 1986 season, a season that could hove been more positive. Port of it, according to the coach, was “a lock of mental toughness in the team, ond their inability to pull o gome together when they were down by two or more touchdowns. UUeehawken Stadium, RKR the dust bowl was unavailable for both the football and soccer teams because of the renovation by Hartz Mountain. Cooch Terpak felt that “not having a home field wos on in- convience, but I don't think it af- fected the outcome of our gomes. I'm not sure how much the home field advantage ploys a role in high school gomes. This did, however, force the team to practice in North Hudson Park, which mode practice thot much more difficult. Junior Paul Quinones and se- nior Derrick Credle distinguished themselves with hard hitting and good running, and sophomore Joe Sabato ron for four touchdowns during the year. Derrick wos also named to second team all-county squad, os wos Paul Quinones. Tony Martinez, and Anthony Mayrie received hon- orable mention.

Of- ficials hope that the remodeling of the field will moke ploying in o foot of mud, waiting five minutes for dust to clear, ond getting dressed in unsanitary, smelly locker rooms things of the post. The stadium received its reno- vation because of a deal struck with the Hortz Mountain Company with the township. Hortz Mountain agreed to remodel the stadium in exchange for rights to develop UUeehawken's valuable waterfront property. The company's plans for the property include office and res- idential buildings ond shopping ar- eas. Assistant Coach Neal Reardon of the WHS football team said, The stadium will receive o number of modernizations. I believe the cleanup package includes a sod- ded field that will begin to grow gross after the winter, new locker rooms, o fence to enclose the en- tire facility ond new lavatories. New topsoil was placed on the field ond the field was graded to allow water runoff. Hortz Mountain hos built a 1,000 foot watering sys- tem ond cleared 1,200 feet of clogged drain pipes. Mayor Stanley locono, in on in- terview in the Hudson Dispatch, said he expected the entire opera- tion to be completed within a year. He also credited his administration with arranging the deal that in- volves a change from the worst field in the county to the best field. Because of the remodeling, high school teams that normally use the field were scheduled for owoy gomes. Many of the sports teams hod to practice in North Hudson Pork in North Bergen or the Richard flrricole Field. Twist and Shout New cheers, o good atti- tude ond the ability to get along with each other helped the cheerleaders achieve success this year. €ven though the cheerleaders hod little money and weren't able to buy new uniforms or pom-poms, they used whot they had to their advantage. The J.V. used the var- sity squad's old uniforms ond the varsity got a new look by wearing the uniforms the defunct flagtwir- lers' squad no longer needed. Their uniforms weren't the only way the girls suffered from the budget cuts, however. The J.V. and varsity hod to shore the some coach, Miss Rngela Martinelli; this meant that the J.V. and varsity were now one large squad instead of two separate ones. It wasn’t on easy task, since there were twen- ty-three girls, but Miss Martinelli hod o lot of help from team cap- tains Mary Pot Hough ond Gina Stratton. Because there were so many girls, tryouts were held to deter- mine who went into competition. The team was cut from 23 to 12. It was really difficult because there were so many talented girls, soid Mary Pot Hough. The team entered two competitions in February and March. Captain Gino Stratton hod this to soy about her experiences: “This year has been my most en- joyable year on varsity. Being cap- tain was o tough job but the girls mode it easy for me. The coach has not only been o cooch but a great friend. I'd like to thonk oil the girls on the team for making my lost year the best ever. This year we were one big family, always getting along.

R eaching Goals The UJeehawken soccer team was another team affected by the loss of the home field. Younger players, especially, hod difficulty adjusting to ploying the gome on the rood. Since they hod to practice ot Rrricole Field, the en- tire squod did not hove the advan- tage of practicing ujith sufficient fa- cilities. For example, there was no goal to shoot ot on the practice field and the dimensions weren't agreeable ot oil. Nevertheless, Coach Anthony D'Angelo was pleased with the team's overall performance in the 86-87 season. Fine performances were turned in by key players. Senior captain Brian Dorsey scored nine goals, sophomore Mario Buzzelli scored six goals and Freshman John Bautista turned in seven for the team this season. Brian Dorsey made first team fill-league and Rod Bice, Mario Buzzelli and John Bautista made second team. Jer- emy Millin and Juan Batres re- ceived honorable mention. Although the team did lose their first four games on their way to a 7-8 overall record, they did lat- er beat Cmerson Boro 6-0 and went on to close the season with a 7-4 record. After an 0-4 start, the team really got together and got a reputation as a tough team to beat, said Brian Dorsey. €ven though the 1986-87 soccer season did not bring glorious victories for the team, the minor setbacks suf- fered didn't keep them from reach- ing goals.

This year we got a double treat, as the New Vork Mets won the ULIorld Series and the New Vork Giants won the Su- perbowl.

They were so excited that 22 of them went so for os to skip school, go to Manhattan to help the Mets celebrate, and come bock to school to find they’d been suspended.

In early August, the Marching Unit began practicing complicated routines to give the squad a fresh, colorful appearance. In Sand Camp, over 36 members of the 75 person squad participated. Led by Steven Spinosa, the squad met doily to prepare for this year’s activities. During Band Camp, the Stu- dents were introduced to two pro- fessional choreographers who are now part of the band unit. George laVelle was the drill instructor and Matt Hurley, the chief instructor of the rifles and flags. Together, these two choreographers have improved the Band’s music and for- mation by introducing new and ex- citing routines and making move- ments crisp and clean. Band members’ efforts to make 1986 a year of effective change have paid off. Although the Marching Unit performed excellent routines dur- ing half-time of football games, un- til this year they were merely prac- tices for competitions.

TH€ JAZZ RAND entertains on audience of parents, teachers, administrators and stu- dents at the Academic Aiuords Night din- ner. FOR TH€ FIRST TIM€ this year, choreogra- phy was used to spice up performances. Marching Magic The first competition they en- tered was held on November 2 ot UUest €ssex High School, where they were awarded a sixth place plaque for their efforts. On November 9, the squad traveled to Bayonne High School for their second competition. Be- cause of bod weather, the compe- tition was held inside Bayonne's gym. This limited movements, but the results were better than ex- pected. Because we were inside we were not allowed to move and vary formation, said Mr. Spinoso. However, we placed fifth, beat- ing UUest Side High School. I feel the kids knew what to expect this time around and therefore did better. The Marching Unit continued competing against other schools and the Jazz bond hod its hands full performing for the Notional Honor Society and ot the Spring Concert os well.

Shooting Stars The Indians have proved ev- eryone wrong, Prior to this season there were o number of questions about the ability of the Indians to repeat their success of lost year. For one thing, four of- five starters from lost year's Olym- pic Division championship team hod graduated, in addition, many peo- ple felt that the smaller Indian squad would hove more difficulty in o tougher divisional race this year. But the Indians went undefeat- ed in the division ond compiled a 23-4 record overall before enter- ing State tournament ploy. Coach Brian Long's fast-paced running offense, which could quickly be converted to a more potient one. kept opponents off-guard oil year. The versatility of the full court man-to-man defense he em- ployed, which also allowed the team to form various zone presses, stifled opposing team's offense effectively. Senior Brian Dorsey, who av- eraged 16 points per gome, emerged as team leader this year. His unselfish ploy, speed, ond foul- shooting ability provided punch for this very potent offense. Cooch Long colled him the best there is at the foul line. Joey Soboto (15 ppg), Derrick Credle (10 ppg), Juon Rodriguez (8 ppg) ond Dorn DeGennaro (5 ppg) rounded out the storting offense. Ralph Spinoso was on effective sixth man off the bench. Brian ond Joey were named to the first-team Rll-League squad; Derrick ond Juon mode the second team, ond Dorn wos awarded hon- orable mention.

Fast Furious Participation by dedicated freshmen has helped this year's WHS girls' basketball team to obtain the best record in girls' basketball history in the high school. This has been the best re- cruiting year since I've been with the team, boasted head coach 8ob Mitchell. Captain Stacy Dalton was cho- sen to head the girls on the court because of her ... leadership ability, said Mr. Mitchell. Fellow seniors Martha Delgado, Roie Ber- nardo, flndi Orive, and Marilaine Valavanis made a strong founda- tion for the coaches to work with. €ach girl's talents complemented the others, explained the coach. One of Mr. Mitchell's hopes for the season was to improve from last year's overall record. Not only did the team accomplish this, but pushed their way into the sec- ond round of the State Tournament with a 16-7 record. Height, speed, and quickness helped the team to go further in the season,” commented Mr. Mitchell. In addition to freshmen Donna Hilton and Down Reed, who started varsity on and off, JV players Clau- dio Moroles, Janine Sassoonian, Danielle Monetti, Bethonne Mon- etti, and Michelle Lorenz got var- sity experience os well. UUith the JV team growing, the girls were in need of a coach. They received one in Anthony D'Angelo after the Board of education's ap- proval. Being assistant varsity coach and head JV coach con be hectic, but Mr. D. said, I'm hap- py. Also the soccer cooch, Mr. D. didn’t find the transition from one sport to another difficult at oil. He did, however observe, the girls ore much younger, hove different needs, ond ore more emotional (than the boys).” JV players that show promise ore Claudio Moroles ond Danille Monetti, Mr. D. said. JV finished up with o record of 11-4, one of the best in their league. DURING R JUMP RRLl SITUATION, Donna Hilton's height helps her to get the boH to o teammate.

The squad entered the Dis- trict Tournament on February 27 with an overall record of 1-13. I'm very disappointed in this year's outcome considering oil the sweat and hard work everyone put in, said coptoin Orlando Martinez of his team. Orlondo, a senior, will be the only player leaving the squad. UUith young talent to work with, Coach Hard feels, For the wrestlers on this team, the best years ore ahead of them. Heaveyweight Lou Giordano ended his season with a record of 11-6. Jim Steen, in a weight class of 188 and o record of 6-4, and Frank Cspada, in o weight doss of 108 and o record of 9-8, mode it to the semi-finals in the District Tournament. To odd to the weaknesses of the team, the Indians missed the talent of Paul Quinones, who was injured early in the season with o dislocated elbow. Coach Hard stressed the im- portance of experience on o wres- tling team. I would soy experience counts more in wrestling than in any 110 other sport. In basketball you con dribble at the age of four. Most of this year's squad knew nothing of wrestling before they joined the team. Hard also stressed the im- portance of teamwork and a well- balanced team. In other sports, one player con carry o team. In football, for example, one player con score four touchdowns and win the gome. In wrestling, however, one wrestler con only contribute six points ot the most. Teamwork wins matches, not just one player. Flnother factor that has hurt the team is a lock of wrestlers, the squad has dropped to 15 from a healthy 25 wrestlers ot the begin- ning of the season. Coach Hard also odds, Our squad has plenty of potential, they just hove to stick with it. Individual accomplishments in- cluded o second place finish by Paul Quinones, a third place finish for Jimmy Steen and a fourth place for Orlondo Martinez in the Kearny Tournament. In the District 6 Tournament, Frank Cspodo and Jimmy Steen placed fourth in their respective weight dosses. UUayne Garcia was named to the fill-league SCSI Olympic Divi- sion team.

Trying Times The 1986 baseball squad went into the season hoping for a .500 record and a chance to qualify for the state tour- nament. Unfortunately, they didn't reach either goal. The squad's defensive lapses and failure to give 100% tuere, ac- cording to Coach Tony laBruno, major reasons for their disappoint- ing 8-12 record. Seniors Javier Pabon (.447, six home runs), and Alex Rendine (.468) tuere named to the second team 8CSL All League squad, pro- viding one of the bright spots in the season. Albie Marinas (.439) also helped provide some offensive punch in the line up. Sophomore pitchers Anthony DeGiglio, Frank Rodriguez, and Ari- el Rivero sotu a lot of varsity action, and Cooch laBruno is looking to them to shore up his mound staff in 1987. DeGiglio, especially, dis- played o strong arm and tantalizing stuff in compiling a 2-2 record. But Cooch LaBruno certainly wasn't satisfied tuith the overall performance of the squad. If losing builds character, he said, then at least character was achieved during this losing season. UUe con only improve upon our weaknesses uuith hard tuork, effort and determination. SOPHOMORC PITCHCR Oriel Rivero's curve kept opposing hitters off balonce. Diamond Girls Disappointment and a wait 'til next year” war-cry best re- flected the attitude of the '86 softball squad. The disappointment come from a 5-18 season record (4- 16 in the Olympic Division); the po- tential for improvement rests in the squad’s belief that, with experience and talent returning, the team will be a winner in '87. Pitcher Stacy Dalton (5-10) re- ceived honorable mention honors in the division for the second consecu- tive year. Head Coach Richard Terpak colled her ’‘one of the better pitchers in the league and is of the opinion that Stocy has the potential to ploy college softball. Fronnie Moore, storting varsity os o freshman wos the find” of the year. In her debut against Memorial, she went four for five, with two hom- ers and seven R8I. She continued to provide offensive punch and sure hands on defense through out the year. Normo Intriogo also proved to be on excellent power hitter spe- cializing in the long boll. She bonged out 11 triples. Second baseman Michelle Doherty was lost to the team two-thirds of the way through the season because of o broken nose. Pitcher Sheila Manzi best summed up the squad's feelings: We felt ot the beginning of the year that we would definitely break .500. We were oil disappointed that we didn't do better.” Coach Terpok, in his seventh year of coaching, also cited a lock of clutch hitting and o sometimes leaky defense os other reasons for the team's lack of success.

Though the township is small, UJeehawken is ideally located three miles from Manhattan on the west bank of the Hudson River. High atop the Palisades, UUee- hawken commands a view of the magnificent New Vork City skyline that is unmatched anywhere, and it's not unusual to find tourists from all over the nation parked on Boule- vard Cast to enjoy the view. But the township offers more than that.

Mnnv PUT HOUGH S unusuol Freaky Friday fashions brighten up English doss. ns the year come to a close, students celebrated the stunning success of the boys' basketball team's sec- ond straight Olympic Division championship and the fine showing of the girls' basketball squad in state tournament action. Seniors struggled to find the money necessary to pay for the yearbook, prom bids, tuxedoes, gowns, limousines, and a host of other related expenses, and prepared to en- joy their new experiences in college or in the business world. Underclassmen took the batteries of tests (HSPT, M8S, CT8S, PSflT) that marked the coming of spring and looked forward to summer vacation with anticipation. Faculty members prepared final exams, filled out report cards and planned for their vacations or summer jobs. It was business as usual at UJHS. But there was some- thing more in the air — a feeling of satisfaction that the year was a good one, regardless of budget problems, squabbles about the senior trip, and the difficulties of fund raising. Students were able to rise above those difficulties to prove time and again that UJHS was indeed a cut above. HRPPV SCNIORS pose outside the gym for their 'officior' Freoky Fridoy Foto.
