If the teachers had been disinterested, and the curriculum standard, we might have been con- tent with never going beyond the three R’s.

And a building on a thirty-three acre plot; with an Olympic size pool and a hallway the length of three football fields jut doesn’t go unnoticed. The three R’s haven’t been forgotten, but with an offering of over 200 courses, taught by people who are determined to fight off apathy with any method possible, classes take on a whole new dimension. Although we've had four- teen championships in two years, our teams do more than win. And with our population growing and our old habits changing, a day in school isn’t like it was in the past. The crowds enjoying the freedom of the Com- mons, the excitement of the players on the fields, the lively participation in the classrooms; these are not only outstanding on their own, but combined they make a school that is always standing out. No football game would be the same without the pres- ence of the Daler Lion. The lake behind the football Held is a scenic place to stroll or jog. Theme Opening 5 6 Youth L JLigh school may involve classes, homework, and grades, but the high school years involve a world of other experiences. The latest fashions, the number one song, where to eat, and what to do on the weekend are all just as important to students, if not more so, than term papers and math tests. And whether they occur in classrooms, the Commons, at the beach, or at a Fri- day night party, it is the fun times with friends, the secrets shared and spread, the problems and the solutions that will remain in students' memories, standing out in the % years to come.

Summer’s a time for rest and relaxation.” However, there are many students who use the summer as an opportunity to make some extra money working. Whether they’re serving burgers and fries in a fast- lood restaurant, hanging up clothes in a store at the mall or mowing law ns and washing cars, these students find little time to enjoy the relaxed atmosphere of summer.

Ten more minutes and I’ll get up. I can’t wait to get to school and see everyone again. I wonder how their summers were. Well, time to get up and see what’s in the kitchen to eat. Oh no! It’s getting late and I still haven’t decided what to wear or how to do my hair! I can’t be late on the first day. That darn alarm clock — only 6:35. Hey, I'm really not in the mood to get up now. School, well, it shouldn't be that bad. Maybe I'll meet some nice girls, but anything will be better than this soggy cereal. There! At least this shirt looks good with these jeans. Now, what shoes should I wear? These spikes are going to kill me by third period so I guess I’ll wear these low ones. Yuch! What am I going to do with this hair? What a mess! Finally, now it looks half- way decent. One last thing to do — my makeup. Okay — finished seven fifteen — I’ve got five minutes to get to the bus-stop. Better get going. At least I don't have to rush for the bus. Driving is really good; there are no more hassles for rides at all. Well, I guess I should get dressed and out of here. Here comes the bus already. I can’t believe how nice everyone looks today, but I guess tomorrow we’ll be back to normal. There will be a lot of new kids at school, now that we have both ninth and tenth graders. But no matter what, I'll just have to make the most of it. Well, this place doesn’t look any different except for some new paint here and there. There’s Mary and Tommy — I guess they’re still going out. There’s the gang, and Frank is with them, too. Wow, did he change! Oh no, there goes the bell for homeroom. I guess I’ll have to see them later. Hey, look at what we have here. Laura really looks great! I wonder what she did this summer. She definitely had to spend most of her time at the beach. What a tan! Here comes trouble — my schedule. I don’t believe this! I got the same social studies teacher again. But at least I got the English teacher I wanted. I guess the rest of the teachers are okay, too. I even got eighth perioa free. These teachers are pretty much what I expected, but the free periods just aren't good. Who'll be free second and eighth? No one, that's for sure. I didn’t think that the halls would be this crowded. I don't like it too much. Today, we have that regular first day stuff — notebooks to get and routines to learn. Thank goodness! It’s almost two o’clock already. There’s Frank; he’s got eighth free, too. I might as well go over and talk to him. Hello Laura! It's great to see you. How was your sum- mer? Okay, how was yours? I see you have eighth free, too. How are your teachers? Mine are all right. Oh, the bell. Too bad we didn't see each other earlier. Are you going home now? Yeah, I have to go buy notebooks and stuff. I guess I’ll see you tomorrow. Okay, see you then! Bye! Bye!

The important thing this year was to just stick your BUTT OUT Derrieres, Derrieres, Derri- eres! They're what’s fashion- able today. They come in all shapes and sizes, but have one thing in common — a label. Designer jeans, bearing .such names as Jordache, Sas- son and Sergio Valenti, seem to be at their peak. Many stu- dents, both male and female, can be seen sporting these labels. There are several reasons why a person would spend thirty-five dollars on a pair of jeans. Janet Connolly, junior, explains, “I bought them because they’re in style.” On the other hand, Laurie DiPaola, senior, commented, “I buy and wear designer jeans because they look nicer and fit better than Levis.” Another aspect of fashion is accessories. This year, one of the newest types of pock- etbooks is the “Space Sac” or “Parachute Bag.” These come in a variety of sizes and colors which range from dark purple to sunny yellow and hold everything from the nor- mal “junk” to clothes for an overnight trip. Shoes are always an important mark of fashion, too. If one were to look down the hall, he would see everything from spiked heels to cowboy boots to sneakers scurrying to their next classes. Indian and woolen plaid skirts add still another dimension to fashion. The Izod cult, those people who roam the halls with miniature alligators on their shirts, has been increasing in number, especially since the “Prep- pie” look is back. But a favor- ite among students is the cas- ual-comfortable style consist- ing of Levis or overalls and a concert jersey. One can always tell if there was a con- cert the previous night because there is a sea of printed shirts of various col- ored sleeves throughout the school. But whatever the style, color, design or name may be, current trends will always influence the student and play a major part in their lives. A concert shirt shows the musi- cal interests of Brenda Sienkiewicz. An Indian print dress provides Sharon Newman with a dressy touch. The college look is combined with Western-style boots by Susie Rouvas. Fashion 13 It seems as if mom’s homecooking has been replaced by long lines and packaged burgers. dents with a license and car, a much wider variety of food is available. When someone asks what everyone wants for lunch, such places as McDonald’s, Burger King, Arby’s and Arthur Treacher’s as well as the neighborhood pizza parlors are mentioned. Dunkin’ Donuts also provides a mid-morning snack for those lucky enough to have an early period free. The junk-fast-food syn- drome does not end with lunch. Many students also stop by these places after school for something quick to eat. “I like to go to fast food places so I can compare the food,” explained John Sala- dino, senior. The weekends host the largest amount of business as students stop for dinner, a snack after the movies or just because there’s nothing better to do. But whatever the reason, it seems quite evident that this type of food wins over the stu- dents’ hearts any day. Food, la comida, or la cui- sine the language is irrele- vant; they all mean the same — Big Macs smothered in cheese, donuts that have more hole than cake, or school cheeseburgers that feel and taste like plastic. The great dilemma is decid- ing where or what to eat. With the great variety of fast food restaurants, students find it difficult to make the choice. For most students, the caf- eteria has a monopoly on sat- isfying the mid-day “mun- chies.” Everything from “junk food” to fruit is sold. Despite the choice of three different types of lunches served in the cafeteria, the nutrition of many students lies within the bounds of WISE, DRAKE’S, and NABISCO. Joyce Dworkin, sophomore, commented, “Yodels or chocolate chip cookies with milk and a bagel is what I usually eat for lunch.” For those fortunate stu- A questioning expression present on her face and tray in hand, Lori Jones looks for a dessert. 14 Food The fast food lane passes through the money making Pizza Hut and McDonald’s crew person, Fran Fish and Chips corporations.

Christa Spreizer relaxes on a couch in the Hi-Life office. The area outside by the pool is often a favorite place to just hang out. Many students choose the cafeteria as a place to spend a free period. The library is used by Karen Moore and Pat Muscolo as a refuge in which to study. 18 Free Periods Forty Minutes of Freedom A teacher is absent and class is cancelled, a lunch period, and a “study hall” all have one unifying factor. Whether it’s hanging out in the Commons, selling or buy- ing items in the Green and White Shop, finishing up some homework in the library or milling about by the pool, they all constitute 40 minutes of doing what one wants to do. One of the favorite areas to spend a free period is in the Commons. The large courtyard, which was enclos- ed 12 years ago, has become the social center of the school. “I like the Commons because you can sit down and do almost anything you want,” explained Donna Hammelman, senior. Virginia DeSimone, junior, added, “The Commons is a place where I can forget that I’m in school, and just hang out with my friends.” The library is another popular spot, especially in extreme temperatures. It is the only place that is air con- ditioned where students are permitted to be. It is also one of the warmer areas to be in the winter. In addition to the comfort, the library provides a quiet atmosphere in which one can study, do homework or research work, or even take a make-up test. “I like the library because you can work there, and it’s about the only quiet place in the whole school,” commented Dorothy Lohnau, junior. For many students, the area outside by the pool is the place to spend a free period. Still, others use their free time to go for extra help in troublesome classes. Some students prefer to use their free time to gain a little selling experience. For this purpose, the Green and White Shop proves to be the best outlet. “It’s good ex- perience working behind the register. Besides, you meet a lot of people,” explained John Butcher, senior. But, the benefits of the store are not limited only to those who work there. Candy,note books and other school sup- plies, school jackets, and T- shirts are sold. In addition, there are also stuffed animals and small gift items that students can purchase. The candy is probably the most popular item. It satisfies those mid-morning munchies and sometimes serves as lunch for those students who don’t have a lunch period or who dislike the food in the cafeteria. Whether it is the areas within the school or those outside and around it, most students will agree that they are able to find one stop to spend a free period in, the spot they feel comfortable in, a spot they can call their own. A student uses her free period to take a quick nap on a bench in the Commons. Free Periods 19 School calendars are mail- ed out every August, and if students can force themselves to look at them, they do so for one reason on- ly, to count the number of holidays. It is amazing how grey squares with the words “Schools Closed” interspers- ed frequently enough among the white squares can restore students’ courage to face the upcoming school year. Of course, everyone enjoys the week-long vacations, but one and two-day holidays are appreciated as well, especial- ly when they fall on a Friday or Monday and thus extend the weekend. “With three- day weekends you can go away or do whatever you want,” Beth Rosen, senior, remarked. Thanksgiving They Do holds double appeal; students can leave school on Wednesday afternoon with the mouth-watering prospect of the next day’s meal, plus the welcome thought of four days rest before returning to school. Without a doubt the spirits of students and teachers alike are at their highest dur- ing the Christmas-Chanukah season. Although the last week of school is often crowded with tests and major assignments, and the frantic and exhausting process of shopping begins to wear peo- ple out, there is an uplifting feeling of eager expectancy in the air. “Christmas vacation means joy and relaxation, and just thinking about it makes everyone feel hap- Principal John McLennan Terri Cloonan holds a carnation carves a turkey at the FBLA given to her by John O'Neill for Thanksgiving dinner. Valentine’s Day. A field full of pumpkins is a com- mon sight once Halloween approaches. Wonders for Morale pier,” John Dellis, senior, commented. Clubs are busy planning parties and charity events. Students are seen carrying gifts for and from friends, and the Commons and front lobby are strung with garland. The last day of classes is marked by a carefree atmosphere which culminates in the festivities seventh and eighth period. A week and a half off for Christmas seems like plenty of time when it’s just start- ing, but New Year’s Eve comes and goes too quickly. After that it seems like no time before students are back in the classrooms, wistfully reflecting that a few days earlier they weren’t out of bed before noon. After two years with only two days off, the return of the week-long February vacation this year was a relief to almost everyone. “I think I would have gone crazy without that week off,” Rosie Zipper, senior, exclaimed. A cold weather vacation isn’t universally appealing, however, and some enjoy the spring break more, especially since the important Easter and Passover holidays mean a great deal to many students. Holidays can be religious, . political, or seasonal, and dif- fer accordingly in their significance to students. All holidays, however, are eager- ly welcomed as temporary periods of relaxation in the long school year. 20 Holidays A Christmas tradition remembered by many high school students is the visit to Santa. The Sunrise Mall is decorated for the holidays with the display of a lighted Menorah. Let the Paychecks Roll With an increasing infla- tion rate and the purchasing power of the dollar rapidly declining, more students are finding it necessary to obtain a job. Whether saving money for college, or just being able to afford the many “necessities” of a high school student, the number of peo- ple leafing through Want Ads has increased dramatically in the last few years. For many, a part-time job can give one first-hand ex- perience in the “real” world. A job interview alone affords a person valuable practical knowledge on how to procure a job, giving a student an edge in the business world later in life. The thrifty stu- dent uses the money from a part-time job to save for col- lege expenses. With the ever-increasing price of tui- tion, that added sum could prove invaluable to an undergraduate. “I like work- ing because I like to be busy and don’t like to be broke,” commented senior Rosemary Zipper. Part-time employment would seem ideally suited for the ambitious student, but this is not always the case. For some, it is a crimp in their social life. Schedules must be juggled to suit the hours of employment. As with any job, there is a cer- tain amount of boredom which accompanies the week- ly paycheck. There is also the familiar lament that many students must work at all hours or they are afraid of losing their jobs. Many of the jobs require unskilled labor and a person could be easily replaced. In spite of the cries ol boredom and the hassle with schedules, the regular paychecks somehow make il all worthwhile. There is alsc a feeling of accomplishment and independence in having earned the money rathei than taking it from a parent A part-time job can prove tc be very valuable, and can alsc serve as an eye-opening ex- perience for some students. Sales background from her job at Wing Hing's provides Jeanne Jef- fers with valuable experience. After-school employment at the Merritt Bakery gives Christy Williams some extra spending money.

Carter’s presidency officially ended at noon when Reagan was sworn in. Thirty-three minutes later it was an- nounced that the freed Americans had taken off from Tehran Airport, the first leg of their trip to freedom. This was the final insult to Carter by the Iranians. He had so wanted to make the announce- ment about the release as President of the United States. The fifty-two Americans were taken to Tehran Airport, many not knowing they were on their way to freedom. After a few hours delay, they were led, one by one, through crowds of screaming Ira- nians, to an awaiting Algerian jetliner. Algerian officials prevented the angry mobs from doing any additional harm to the Americans. An hour and a half later, during his inaugural luncheon, President Reagan told the nation that the Algerian planes had left Iranian air space. After a refueling stop in Turkey and another in Athens, Greece, the planes landed at Algiers Airport at 8:00 E.S.T. Two U.S. DC-Nightingales waited on the runway to fly the ex-hostages to Rhein-Main Airport in Frankfort, West Germany. While at the airport in Algiers, the Americans were graciously welcomed by former Deputy Secretary of State, War- ren Christopher. Many of the Americans seemed stunned as they ap- peared before non-Iranian cameras for the first time in fourteen months. Several admitted that they didn’t believe they had been released until they saw the United States’ planes on the runway. Algerian Foreign Minister Mohammed Benyahia then officially turned over the hostages to Warren Christopher. Christopher thanked Benyahia and the Algerian government for their help in the negotiations that secured the release. Both Christopher and Benyahia then personally greeted each of the fifty-two, as anxious families back in the United States tried to catch a glimpse of their loved ones. The former hostages boarded the U.S. planes, and four hours later, were emerging from the planes, apparently much happier, before crowds of people who had come out to welcome them home at Rheine Main Airport. Buses were waiting to transport them to a U.S. Air Force Base Hospital in Wiesbaden, a twenty minute ride from the airport. The streets and entrance to the hospital were lined with people cheering the newly released Americans. Former President Carter, former Vice President Mondale, and former Secretaries of State, Cyrus Vance and Edmund Muskie, met the hostages that night at the hospital. The returnees were also deluged with gifts and kind words from everyone. After several days of debriefing and rest, the former hostages flew to West Point in New York to be reunited with their families, then on to Washington, and finally home to begin again. Americans Welcome Hostages Yellow ribbons, “Welcome Home” signs, and American flags began to ap- pear more and more frequently. The hostages were coming home and nobody was going to let them think we forgot about them. The word freedom was redefined. A spirit of nationalism and patriotism was more than evident. National pride was reborn. The country was pulling together as one, after twenty years of dormant feelings, to honor fifty-two Americans who risked their own lives to represent their country. The first of the many celebrations and welcome home receptions was on Sunday, January 25, 1981. The ex- hostages were flown to Stewart Airport in Newburg, New York, to be reunited with their families in a private recep- tion. No press was allowed near the area of the airport, as the plane carrying the Americans, dubbed “Freedom 1,” land- ed. The families were then driven to West Point in buses decked out with yellow ribbons. The road enroute to West Point was decorated with yards of ribbons and thousands of flags as the residents of the neighboring towns came out to say “Welcome back to freedom.” After two days in seclusion, on Tues- day, January 27, only one week after the release, the “returnees,” as they were called, flew to Washington for the na- tional welcome home. They were greeted at Andrews Air Force Base, just outside of Washington, by Vice Presi- dent Bush, Secretary of State Alexander Haig, and friends and relatives who weren’t able to greet them at West Point, as well as chants of Welcome home!” Once again, they boarded buses, and started the short trip to the White House for a ceremonial welcome. The streets were lined with people and the numbers increased as minutes elapsed. The hostages shook hands with the peo- ple, waved flags and cried, as they realized how much the American people cared about them. They were greeted by the President at the White House where they were reunited with Richard Queen, a fellow hostage who was released earlier for medical reasons. After a touching ceremony and speech by Presi- dent Reagan, Bruce Laigan, former Charges d’Affairs of the embassy in Iran, said his own thank-you to everyone on behalf of the ex-hostages. The ceremony ended with the singing of “God Bless America.” Several days later, on Friday, January 30, New York City offered yet another welcome home ceremony. Mayor Koch invited all of the returnees to a huge tickertape parade to take place from lower Broad way to City Hall, where each would be presented with special medals. Twenty-two of the former hostages and their families accepted Koch’s invitation. The festivities began the night before. The twenty-two and their families were treated to dinner and a Broadway show, and stayed at the Waldorf Astoria. The next day hundreds of thousands of peo- ple lined the streets to throw yellow tickertape, wave flags, and say hello. After the big parade, the ex-hostages returned to their hometowns where they were greeted by more parades and ceremonies. This time the celebrations were on a more personal level. Then Came Stories Before the former hostages had even reached American soil, stories began to emanate about cruel treat- ment. Several hostages told about mock executions, being tied to fur- niture and being beaten up. Others told of the terrible living conditions, worms in their food, and harassment. It was learned that one hostage had even attempted suicide. 24 Standing Outside Hostages U.S. News Reagan Accepts New Role The low-keyed, lopsided campaign gave no hint that Ronald Reagan would win the presidency. However, he stumped the country while Carter “stayed in the Rose Garden.” Before winning the nomination, Ronald Reagan, the favorite Republican can- didate, had to contend with six other can- didates. As a result of financial troubles, four of the six candidates dropped out of the race. George Bush remained, and put up a fight. He had won the first primary. Another candidate who remained was John Anderson. However, Anderson form- ed his own independent line, and his sup- porters pushed to get his name on the ballot, eventually succeeding. On the Democrat’s side, President Carter was the choice. Carter had refused to campaign until the hostages’ release, so the First Lady and Vice President Mondale took the job. Carter’s one challenger was Senator Edward Kennedy. However, pro- blems in Kennedy’s personal life decreased his popularity. The National Conventions took place in July and August. It would be President Carter against Reagan and his running mate, George Bush, and independent can- didate, John Anderson. Election night proved to be interesting. Everyone assumed it would be a very late hour when a winner would be declared. But, even before the polls closed in New York in the early evening, a winner was predicted — Ronald Reagan, by a landside. Volcano Erupts Following 123 years of inactivity, Mount St. Helen’s made the news as it erupted furiously in May of 1980. The eruption, which surprised the entire world, was 500 times greater in force than the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima. The volcano shot hot ash into the atmosphere, along with many after shocks which shook the mountain’s base and surrounding countryside. With over 60,000 acres of flattened forests and dust-encrusted land, it is estimated that it will be at least 300 years until the surrounding area of the volcano can support normal vega- tion growth again. With at least 61 people reported dead or missing, and the mountain still moving within, how long and how many more eruptions will there be, before the mountain becomes dor- mant once again? Inauguration Day A bright, sunny January 20 marked Inauguration Day for Ronald Reagan and George Bush. Overlooking the historic Washington Monument, the former Govenor of California ended his 12 year quest for the White House as he took the oath of office from Chief Justice Warren Berger on the west steps of the Capitol. The new President’s Inaugural Ad- dress was unusually short and simplistic. He promised to relieve Americans of their economic miseries and to help restore our military strength overseas. In the past, the limelight of Inaugural Day belonged exclusively to the new Head of State, but not this one. Reagan shared it with the newly released hostages. Many times during televised broadcasts, stations broke away from inaugural ceremonies to show footage of the final moments of their captivity. Later in the day came the inaugural parade. The Reagans and the Bushs proudly waved to the audience as their limousines slowly drove along the parade route. This year the parade was much shorter than it had ever been before in recent history. President Reagan had requested it. President Reagan and Vice President Bush and their wives visited the various inaugural balls in Washington. At the same time in many cities, mock in- augural balls were held to celebrate the swearing in of a new administration, one the American people hope will bring better times. Close Call On March 30, 1981, America almost lost a president. President Reagan, Press Secretary James Brady, a Secret Service Agent, and a local policeman were shot in an attempted assassination by John W. Hinckley Jr. Reagan had just emerged from the Washington Hilton after delivering a speech to AFL-CIO delegates. Shots rang out hitting Brady, the policeman, and an agent. Another agent shoved President Reagan into his limousine, but not before a bullet entered his left lung. After three hours of surgery and ten days in the hospital, Reagan returned to his White House duties. Brady, who received a serious brain injury, was ex- pected to make almost a full recovery. MGM Fire On November 28, 1980, a fire engulfed the MGM Grand Hotel, the largest hotel in Las Vegas. Billowing smoke was responsible for most of the 83 deaths and 334 injuries. It was the second worst blaze in U.S. history. An inquiry into the blaze deter- mined that many of the lives could have been saved if more adequate alarm systems had been installed. Sprinklers were installed only on the first and top floors, meeting re- quirements at the time of installa- tion. Smoke detectors were not in- stalled in any of the rooms. Photo Credits: World Wide Photos Standing Outside U.S. News 25 Hail Columbia A clear April morning set the scenario for the beginning of a new era. The space shuttle Columbia pushed the United States some ten years ahead of the Soviet Union, and set the country on fire with en- thusiasm and confidence.

But the United States open- ed its arms and welcomed the Cubans into our country. Boats began bringing the refugees from Cuba to Florida. Special camps were built so the processing of the Cubans could be done. Within a cou- ple of weeks, many of these people were on their way to other cities to begin a new life. Quake Hits Italy It registered 6.8 on the open-ended Richter scale. The devastating earth- quake that hit several Italian pro- vinces from Naples to the Apennines on November 23, 1980 was a human tragedy of vast proportions. It will take many months to restore the sur- vivors to normal life. The earthquake was the deadliest to hit Europe in 65 years. Before the quake had ended, 234,000 Italians were left homeless. The tragedy was compounded by the ineptitude of the Italian government. When the relief operation began, the attempt was bumbling and disorganized. However, countries around the world began campaigns to help the earthquake victims. Pope John Paul II and the President of Ita- ly toured the country, offering moral support for those who wanted it.

The answer, of course, is the Voyager I Spacecraft. On November 12, 1980, Voyager I came within a few thousand miles of Saturn, the famous ringed planet. This event was a nonpareil technological achievement that gathered more infor- mation about Saturn in a week than was collected in all of history. New facts were also discovered about Saturn’s at- mosphere as well as the number of rings surrounding it. 26 Standing Outside U.S. and World News Unrest in Poland The recent labor unrest in Poland poses the gravest threat to the Soviet Union since it formed the Eastern Bloc after World War II. Solidarity, the workers’ union under the leader- ship of Lech Walesa, has been formed to make known the widespread dissatisfaction with the deteriorating economic conditions. A five-day work week and access to the media are two recent issues won by Solidarity. Solidarity has grown in number and power to become the third major power in Poland, behind the ruling Communist party and the Roman Catholic Church. This has made the Soviet Union anxious, and the presence of 55 Soviet divisions within striking distance of Poland is a real threat to the existence of Solidarity. Renewed disputes and labor strikes, and the inability of the government and unions to cooperate, could give the Soviet Union the ex- cuse it needs to interfere. We Count 1980 was also the year for the 10 year Census. Eighty-eight million forms were sent out and about 91% of those were returned. One of the major outcomes of the Census was that the Northeastern states’ populations decreased as those in the Southwest increased. As a result, states such as New York, Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania, lost representative seats in the House of Representatives while those states in the “Sun Belt,” such as Arizona, gained the lost seats. Local News Sports New Hue During October and November of 1980, streets throughout the areas under the jurisdiction of the Town of Oyster Bay began to glow with a new hue — orange. The Town had bought the contract for the many streetlights that line our blocks and major roadways from LILCO, the previous operator of the facilities. A worker installing the lights ex- plained that the new lights were more economical. They cost less to operate, saved energy and would actually be brighter than the previous streetlights. The two teams finally met each other and Oakland’s confident spirit led them to victory. Mistake-prone Philadelphia wasn’t able to keep up with the Raiders, and the underdog came out victorious. Doctor Shot Tragedy occurred on December 7, 1980, when Dr. Hugh Ashford of Melville Road, Farmingdale was shot and killed as he was putting up Christmas lights in front of his home. The man who was accused of the shooting was a former patient of Dr. Ashford who was apparently displeased with the doctor’s diagnosis. He drove up to Dr. Ashford’s home, pulled a gun, fired six shots and drove off. He was later arrested and identified as Robert Cohen. Gregory Carman, former Town Councilman and resident of Farm- ingdale, was elected to the United States House of Representatives on November 4, 1980. Carman beat the incumbent Jerome Ambro in a sur- prising race. Former FHS student, Douglas Hynes, was appointed as the new Town Councilman, filling the vacan- cy left by Greg Carman. Local Politicians Phillies Are 1 The Philadelphia Phillies defeated the Houston Astros and won its first National League Pennant in 30 years. The Kansas City Royals beat the New York Yankees to clinch the American League Pennant. But that was only the beginning. These two teams were to become adversaries in a grueling six game competition to decide who would become the 1980 World Champion team. In the action-packed first game of the World Series, the Phillies defeated the Royals by the score of 7 to 6. This was quite an achievement considering that the Royals were leading 4 to 0 in the third inning. The second game was also won by the Phillies by a margin of 6 to 4. The third game was tense and thrilling. Isles Win Cup The Islanders, for a while made Long Island the spotlight for nation- wide attention last year as they won the coveted Stanley Cup by defeating the Bullies of Broad Street — the Philadelphia Flyers. The team had a hard time in the series. Again and again the score was tied and the game went into over- time. But everytime this happened, they won! Long Island went wild for its retur- ning heroes. Crowds turned out wherever any of the team members went, especially Ken Morrow. In ad- dition to being an Islander, Morrow was also a member of the triumphant United States’ Olympic Hockey Team. The Islanders are on their way to doing a repeat performance this season. Mike Bossy had 50 goals in 50 games, equaling Maurice Richards’ unofficial record. The score was tied at 3 at the end of the ninth and the game was forced in- to extra innings. In the tenth the Phillies scored and won the battle. However, the fourth game was won by the Royals, as they tried to tie up the series. The Phillies, filled with determina- tion, charged ahead and won the next two games. They had won the series. They were the champs! This was the first time since 1915 that Philadelphia had won the series. The traditional award of Most Valuable Player was presented to Mike Schmidt for his excellent per- formance on the field. Raiders Come Out Tops The noise level increased, chants began, and the crowd stirred. The two teams were about to take the field in the jampacked New Orleans’ Superdome. The starting offense was introduced to the crowd. The coin flip took place, and the whistle blew to start the action. Six months of hard work all came down to one game. The outcome of the Superbowl would be the final achievement of an outstanding season for one of the participants. For the other it would be a disappointing conclusion to a great season. The Oakland Raiders had just gone through a great season with a record of 12-4. Picked for last place, they were the underdog team of the year. They competed against powerhouses such as Houston, Cleveland and San Diego and came out on top. Philadelphia had been building for years, gradually showing im- provements. This year they proved they could beat the top teams. 'fhe two teams finally met each other and Oakland’s confident spirit led them to victory. Mistake-prone Philadelphia wasn’t able to keep up with the Raiders, and the underdog came out victorious.

Shah of Iran More commonly known as the Shah of Iran, Pahlevi was in power from 1941 to 1979. He applied Iran’s immense oil wealth to a massive modernization program known as the White Revolution. He suppressed all opposition to his absolute power and established working relationships with Western powers, the Soviet bloc, Israel and Arab states. Pahlevi was driven from the throne and into exile in January 1979. He died in a military hospital near Cairo, Egypt, after treatment for cancer in the United States, Panama and later, Egypt. 28 Standing Outside Obituaries Ella Grasso Connecticut governor, 61-year-old Ella Grasso, died of cardiac arrest following a long bout with cancer on February 5, 1981.

His last ap- pearance was in the T.V. miniseries, Backstairs at the White House. — Culture Prime Time Soaps Bubble Up The delayed start of the '80-’81 televi- sion season due to the actors’ strike was only a foreshadowing of the bad times to come. The season produced flop after flop with a few hits. Many shows, like Charlie’s Angels and Mork and Mindy which drew good ratings in the past, struggled, while new shows came on and off with the blink of an eye. Even shows which received critical acclaim, like Breaking Away, were cancelled, much to the protest of many irate viewers who felt this was one quality show not rely- ing on sex and violence but real characters with depth for high ratings. This was the year Saturday Night Live lost all its familiar faces, replaced by a new group who were not well received by viewers. However, Fridays, a Saturday Night Live clone, fared a bit better and provided some late-night comedy. In the midst of the many failures, there remained some old reliable shows like M‘A S H and One Day at a Time, which continued to entertain audiences. But, because of the lack of quality sit- coms and dramas, networks gave us real life shows, such as Real People, That’s Incredible, and Those Amazing Animals. Also due to the interruption of pro- duction of regular programming, miniseries and special shows provided a large amount of prime time material. Dramatizations of novels such as A Tale of Two Cities, East of Eden, and par- ticularly Shogun did extremely well in the ratings. Shogun, opening up the season for NBC, dominated the ratings with the last episode picking up a televi- sion audience second only to Roots for a miniseries. The biggest story of the season, however, had to do with an evil oil ty- New Sound for '80s As we proceed into this new decade, we find ourselves greeted by many new sounds, as well as some familiar ones left over from the seventies. Punk or New Wave seems prevalent, although disco and good old rock and roll are still holding their own. In any case, the 1980-81 year provided music listeners with a wide assortment of new albums and artists. One newcomer who has become ex- tremely popular is Pat Benatar, who happens to be from Lindenhurst, and has enticed many with her hit album, Crimes of Passion. Other popular novices are New Wavers such as The Clash, Devo, The B-52’s, The Pretenders and The Police, whose album Zenvatta Mondatta, was an especially big success. Several already-established groups and artists came out with new hit albums this year. Among these are the legendary Rolling Stones whose disc en- titled Emotional Rescue quickly rose to the top of the charts. This same plight befell Billy Joel’s Glass Houses and Queen’s The Game as well as Bruce Spr- ingsteen's long-awaited The River album. Then there was the album that marked the return of a great musician and at the same time a farewell, John Lennon’s Double Fantasy. If these albums are any inkling of the direction of music in the eighties, we can surely look forward to a bright future. Heather’s recovery was eagerly ex- changed by girls and boys alike. The season ended with shows thought to be good becoming flops and flops turning out to be the best shows aired.

The biggest question of the year wasn’t who would win the presidential election, but rather Who shot J.R.?” The night Kristin was revealed as the culprit, Dallas made history with the most viewers for any single episode of a series. The phenomenal success of Dallas prompted the networks to flood the air- waves with nighttime soap, using the same formula as Dallas — wealth, power, sex, and an evil character everyone loves to hate. CBS featured Knots Landing, a spinoff of Dallas, and Secrets of Midland Heights, while NBC and ABC gave us Flamingo Road and Dynasty respectively. Perhaps even more popular that the nighttime dramas to high school students were their predecessors, the daytime soaps. Shows like All My Children and Edge of Night continued to keep audiences addicted. Without a doubt, the most popular soap was General Hospital.

Audiences showed that they longed for meaningful movies which appealed to their mind, as they flocked to movies like All That Jazz, Black Stallion, Coal Miner’s Daughter, Ordinary People, Tess, Raging Bull and Woody Allen’s latest, Stardust Memories. The biggest stories, however, seemed to be the low-budget films. Audiences loved the humble, but in- teresting, movies such as Breaking Away, and Fame. Another trend in low-budget films was towards horror films, which tended to appeal mostly to the large high school audience across the country. These movies spent most of their budgets developing realistic effects that “grossed out” the audience. The Empire Strikes Back may have been a superior movie, but the talk of the school always seemed to be such films as The Fog, The Shining, Prom Night, Friday the 13th, Maniac, Blood Beach and My Bloody Valentine. Of course, as usual, comedies did well at the box office. The big hits included Nine to Five, Being There, Popeye, Airplane and The Incredible Shrinking Woman. The 1980 movie year also proved that a movie didn’t have to be good to have a successful soundtrack. Films like American Gigilo, Blues Brothers, and Xanadu were more popular with radio listeners than movie-goers. Finally, movies seemed to foresee the downfall of disco and the rise of coun- try, as Urban Cowboy scored a surpris- ing victory over the disco movie, “Can't Stop the Music. Despite approximately 182 new releases in the past year, what was the most talked about movie? Bedtime for Bonzo, the 1953 film starring Ronald Reagan. “If I can make it there, I’ll make it anywhere.” These lyrics to the song New York, New York contain about as much truth as any ever written, and the 1980-81 Broadway theatre season reflected this, as does every theatre year. 1980 was a year for big hits, bigger flops, and even bigger revivals. The story of the year had to be the enormous popularity of a British musical, Evita. With Long Island’s own Patti Lupone in the lead role, this show attained legendary status only weeks after it opened. Another big hit was Barnum, starring Jim Dale. The show centered around the famous P.T. Bar- num of circus fame. Aided by an inten- sive television advertising campaign, this show reached a close second in popularity behind Evita. The past season saw many other shows open and play to packed houses. Stars such as Christopher Reeve, Tim (Rocky Horror) Curry, Rex Smith, Lin- da Ronstadt and even David Bowie, made their debuts on the Broadway stage in hits such as The Fifth of July, Amadeus, The Pirates of Penzance, and The Elephant Man. Other long-running favorites included A Chorus Line, Ain’t Misbehavin’, Annie, Deathtrap and Sweeny Todd which unfortunately clos- ed this year after a successful run. This season also saw some colossal flops, such as Carl Reiner’s The Roast and Frankenstein, which both closed after one performance. Broadway producers also put their money into revivals. However, they did not always work. Productions such as West Side Story, Brigadoon, Oklahoma, The Five O’Clock Girl, and a sequel to Bye Bye Birdie, called Bring Back Birdie, opened, but with little success. Producers also raised a big controver- sy by raising prime ticket prices as high as $35. Although many theatre-goers complained, this season proved to be a prosperous one and theatres announced a doubling in attendance figures over last year, proving that there’s nothing like live theatre. Art Update Like the theatre and media, milestones in the field of art were reached during the past year as well. At the Metropolitan Museum of Art, a new $18 million American Wing was opened. The wing contains many of the country’s fine and decorative arts, including paintings, sculptures, furniture, silver and ceramics and textiles. Another major event was the Picasso show at the Museum of Modern Art. Over 957,000 tickets were sold for the exhibit. Many celebrities, including former Presi- dent Carter and Larry (J.R.) Hagman, were on hand to view the show. On Broadway Photo Credits: Paramount Pictures 30 Standing Outside Culture John Lennon— Shock spread across the country. But the grief was not only evident in the United States. The world was in mourning. It was at 10:50 p.m. EST on December 8, 1980, that former Beatle, forty-year-old John Lennon was shot and killed in front of his home. Several hours earlier, Mark David Chap- man had asked Lennon to autograph the newest Lennon album, Double Fantasy. No one could have guessed that he was later to be Lennon’s killer. Beatles and Lennon fans everywhere were grieving. Many fans posted all-night vigils outside the Dakota, Lennon’s home, singing old Beatles songs and crying in each others arms. Yoko Ono, Lennon’s wife, requested that in place of a funeral, a ten minute silent vigil be observed on Sunday, December 14. The band shell in Central Park was chosen as the New York City location as similar ceremonies took place across the world. Over 100,000 people of all age groups bonded together in Central Park, despite the cold weather, to pay their final respects to a man who was more than a rock idol — a man whose philosophy of peace and family unity and music influenced the lives of millions of people.

Are you one of those people who’s always half-dressed and half an hour late? Many girls find it hard to be ready on time, even when they start two hours before the arrival of their date. So many things are liable to go wrong — stockings rip or nail polish smudges on your clothes. Then there are those girls who, although they have two closets full of clothes, have nothing to wear. Even after you look perfect for your date, the image may be ruined. Andrea Bernstein, senior, recalls, “We were driving and my date stopped suddenly and soda spilled all over me. Whoever said it was easy to be a guy on a date must never have had to summon enough courage to ask a girl out and face the chance of rejection. After they have been ac- cepted, some boys still might encounter the unforeseeable pitfalls of dating. Tom Brown, senior, explains, “I was almost hit by another car when 1 was paying too much attention to my date.” Another pitfall is that the guy tells his date it is to be a formal evening and realizes he has just enough money for cheeseburgers. After finding he is penniless, and suddenly without a car, he and his date are soon walking to It isn't a date but a free period The ultimate date, the Junior spent outside that is enjoyable to Prom, fulfills all expectations for Lori Magliato and Craig Perri.

For most, the “monsters” turn out to be very nice people and the worry was for nothing. “I feel it’s important to meet and get along with a girl’s parents,” Rob Robitzek, senior added. Girls are faced with several embarrassing situations as well. One is trying to be agreeable with her date. Decision-making, even for the very determined, sudden- ly becomes a hard chore. “I don’t care” is often repeated at least twenty times. Another problem is the mishaps that could occur with any date. Something will always go wrong and ruin even the most detailed plans. Sue Mason, junior, recalls “Once, I hurt my hand wher my date tried to open the ca door for me.” Iris McNulty junior, confided, “I fell down a hill at the airport. Boy, did I make a fool of myself!” Despite the mishaps, most teenagers will agree that they enjoy dating.

W-E-E-K-E-N-D-S A surge of excitement begins to flow through the students as they look at the clock and see that there are only 10 minutes left of their last class. Ten more minutes until the weekend! As they count down the remaining minutes, they begin to final- ize their plans for the next two days, and they can't wait for it all to begin. Finally, to everyone’s relief, the bell rings and it’s time to put the thoughts into action. Friday afternoons are spent relaxing and enjoying the freedom of not having to do homework right away. “Friday afternoons are great because I’m able to do what I feel like doing, not what I have to do,” explained Nancy Goldberg, sophomore. As the afternoon progresses, phones begin ringing as times and meeting places are estab- lished. The Farmingdale Movie Theatre is a popular weekend retreat because at 80 cents and within easy walking dis- tance one can’t go wrong. Many students can be seen standing on the long lines as showtime approaches. But for more active students, the local bowling alleys offer another inexpensive means of entertainment. The combination of music and wheels can mean only one thing — rollerskating. Students with skates hung over their shoulders can be found along Carmans Road and Hempstead Turnpike watching for the bus to the Levittown Rollerskating Rink or waiting for their ride to United Skates of America in Massapequa. For those students who are old enough, such places as the Pawnbroker, Whiskey Reds and Changing Times become the favorite hang- outs. The Bijou, Chaz, and Guys and Dolls provide the bar atmosphere in addition to dancing and fast-paced music. Saturday afternoons become recharging periods. As the high spirits of the night before calm down, the excitement of Saturday night begins. The afternoon is also spent catching up on shop- ping at the mall or cheering the football team at school. Saturday nights are very similar to Friday’s; some uni- maginative students repeat the previous night’s activi- ties, whereas others try some- thing different, such as a neighborhood party or just hanging out. Sunday soon arrives and everyone suddenly remem- bers that they’ve got home- work to do. The rest of the day is spent writing and read- ing and promising oneself to do the homework earlier next weekend. The weekend provides the students with a chance to unwind by choosing an activ- ity that he likes to do. But Monday always follows the weekend, and the fun has to be put off until suddenly one finds himself on Friday coun- ting the last ten minutes of class again. The appeal of bargains attracts many students to the Republic Flea Market. 34 Weekends Despite high prices, the Movies at the Mall draw large crowds. A Friday night sense of leisure allows Mike Berkowitz to thumb through a paperback. Some students enthusiastically cheer their football team on a Sat- urday afternoon. Whiskey Reds is a favorite meet- ing place for students. Weekends 35 Sunrise Mall is only one of the many malls commonly seen on Long Island. South Farmingdale Library becomes a comfortable hangout for .Janet Straligos and Helen O’Sulli- van.

Four unique towns combined can bring forth many different results, but only our formula can produce Four for One and One in All What other town on Long Island has a corner library, a village green adjacent to the Mayor’s Office, complete with a fountain and benches, and a theater that accommo- dates half the town every Fri- day night? This seems to be a fairly accurate description of Main Street, Farmingdale. For years now, Main Street has existed as the center of Farmingdale, unchanged by the housing developments around it. Just recently though. Main Street School was torn down, and a land- mark that has withstood many wars was demolished within a matter of days. When describing the vil- lage complex, Mayor Halla- han commented, “Main Street represents the older type of merchandising.” Prime examples of this are the faithful businesses estab- lished on Main Street includ- ing Wolley’s Hardware, Von Leesen's, and McClellan’s. Having a “town” is regarded as novel by most of the nearby students. “It has an old-fashioned atmos- phere,” commented Barbara Gilloon, junior. Farmingdale, with a popu- lation of 12,730 households includes East Farmingdale. This east side of town is the industrial section and encom- passes the MTA’s Republic Airport, numerous large- scale businesses and the bowler’s hangout, Farming- dale Lanes. Even though only a portion of Amityville lies within the school district, northern resi- dents attend Farmingdale High School. A unique qual- ity about the area is the fact that many of its blocks are named after presidents. Ami- tyville is also known for being the school district’s eastern boundary. South of the Southern State Parkway, bordered by the Preserve on the western end and by Intercounty Shopping Center on the east, lies the Massapequa Park area, the town closest to the Sunrise Mall. “I like the Mall because you can shop for a diversity of things,” said Anita Vaskunas, senior, Mas- sapequa Park resident. 36 I ocal Area The interaection at Main Street and Conklin characterizes the bus- tling village of Farmingdale. Handball serves as a source of recreation and exercise for Pedro Dias and his friend at Heiser Lane Park.” The Preserve, a wooded area dotted with lakes which eventually run into the Long Island Sound, divides Massa- pequa Park from North Mas- sapequa. Throughout the woods, newly-paved bicycle paths unite the school dis- trict bringing the extreme ends a little closer. Most stu- dents agree on their scenic beauty, but other students like Lynn Mazzella don’t fre- quent the paths through the woods “because of the fear of getting attacked.” North Massapequa, the fourth town of our district, remains a mostly residential area with blocks of housing developments. One of the major binding forces in this town is its North Massape- qua Civic Association, which, though only three years old, is said to be one of the largest on Long Island. As residents of the South Farmingdale area can tell you, the expression “Do you know where Jelly Bean is?” arises many times when giv- ing directions ... North Broadway ends at the door- steps of Jelly Bean, the local candy store and landmark. Another familiar sight is the South Farmingdale Water District Tank, holding one million gallons of the town’s drinking water. “You can see it from almost every- where,” admits Doug McKeever, “yet no one knows exactly where it is.” Although not geographi- cally the center of the school district, Farmingdale High School is the focal point of the area. At the back entrance to the school, clus- tered around the pool build- ing, one can see a melting pot of students from Massape- qua, Amityville and all over Farmingdale. Friendships aren’t formed by town lines, but more by kids from all over the district who form cli- ques based on common ideas. The one moment of unity, though, occurs at 7:45 a.m., when the warning bell rings, and these diverse groups crowd through the doors, all to attend Farmingdale High School. Local Area 37 Cement, Nostalgic ships still dock in the hustling New York area. A sailing trip provides an enjoy- able afternoon for Mrs. Partridge and Mr. Reichold. One of the more famous sites of New York is the Statue of Liberty. The tower at Jones Beach is a landmark for any beach-goer. At 50 thousand feet above the earth, Long Island appears to be hardly discer- nible or existent. But back on land, we realize it is very much alive. Long Island is a place of great diversity, from the peaceful East End to the bustling streets of New York, the privacy of the North Shore to the South Shore’s crowded beaches. In the warm weather, Jones Beach and Robert Moses Park are favorite spots where students can be found deepening their tans. And the shopping facilities draw crowds in any weather. The Sunrise Mall, Roosevelt Raceway Flea Market or the neighborhood shops, all pro- vide a large selection of mer- chandise with something for everyone. Students seem to be very pleased with the area. Karen Moore, senior, commented, “I think Long Island is great! There is always plenty to do. We have beaches, parks, his- torical sites, everything!” As one travels westward, it seems as though a whole new world is opening up — busy streets, confusion, culture. It can only mean one thing — 38 Long Island New York New York City, the fashion center of the world and a combination of all types of people and styles. It is an enormous cultural center with its many theatres, bal- lets, operas, museums and historical sites. Students often take the train into the city to see a show or just to shop in the city’s many stores. “Everything in New York City is unique. It’s really big and great to explore,” explained Donna Vaughan, junior. The area is exciting athlet- ically as well. It is the home of such champions as the Yankees, Islanders, and Cos- mos. Yankee and Shea Stadi- ums, as well as Madison Square Garden and the Nas- sau Coliseum, act as home bases for several teams. Some of these arenas also double as hosts for special exhibits, fairs, events, and even rock concerts. With all the activities, events, and attractions avail- able here, it is no wonder so many people are proud to be seen wearing the “I LOVE NY” and “I LOVE LI” slo- gans on tee shirts, buttons, and even bumper stickers.

There was an air of nervous ten- sion as the marching band, getting itself ready for its per- formance in the annual News- day Band Festival, shuffled around Hofstra University Stadium. Sud- denly, harsh whispers for quiet were issued, and a silence came over the band. The lights went up, and the Farmingdale High School Marching Band, holding the rapt attention of 8,500 spectators, went on. As many Dalers can remember, not long ago the band was the object of many snickers and pitying glances from other bands. Now the band is a strongly cohesive group, and the enviable performance it gave at Hofs- tra was enough to kill all doubts about its capabilities. To have come this far, to have gained the respect of every Long Island hand and the awe of their directors is indeed a spectacular achievement. 42 Marching Band Back on the field, the Dalerettes pranced with Hailing limbs. Gina O’Dea, drum majorette for the band, proudly strutted in her custom-made uniform, leading the band through its routine. As the program neared its end, little smiles began to break out among the band members as they began to feel the vibes from the crowd, and at the end they acknowledged the roaring applause. The smiles, laughter, and tears then burst forth as everyone hug- ged each other jubilantly, and as unex- pectedly, Syosset, traditional Daler rivals, burst into a Farmingdale cheer. Mr. DeMilo stood proudly, reaping the reward of a difficult task well done. As the excitement subsided, the band thought back on all the hard work and sacrifice that was needed to make that night unforgettable. The appearance of Tom Feinberg from within a circle of Dalerettes delighted the crowd. Drummers practice on their own at band Gina O’Dea’s success as Drum Majorette camp, resulted from a week long training program at Westchester College in Pennsylvania. Marching Band 43 In the beginning ... it wasn’t all praise, glory or crowds roaring their approval. It was hours of painstaking practice on those sultry August after- noons when throats are parched and feet are tired. At a band camp in Centerport on Sep- tember 5 to 7, dedication, unity and enthusiasm were combined to produce the most successful Farmingdale band ever. “When you’re on the field, there’s a feeling of elation,” stated Tom Fein- berg, senior. Organized with the precision of an army boot camp, the band rose at seven o’clock a.m.; players were drilled for four hours with only a 15 minute break. A sideline shout from Mr. DeMilo adds encouragement during band practice. At night, the music itself was worked on, intonation, blending, and rhythm expounded. Working an entire weekend, several days after school and five school periods a week all led up to the climactic News- day Competition. The undertaking was at times over- whelming, but Mr. DeMilo stated, “The band itself makes the decisions; if the band wants it, they’ll strive for it.” Although shy of praise, Mr. DeMilo was, in fact, a constant source of encourage- ment and support. Over 1 thousand pieces of music and 125 uniforms later, BRAVO! This sousaphone proved too heavy to be car- ried throughout the long hours of practice. Band members outnumbered the new uniforms, so Mike Sloan and other drummers had to wear the old ones. It took a great deal of effort to get into the right formation while concentrating on music. Fans at the home games were surprised and impressed by the size and skilT of the- new marching band. 45 Marching Band The house which Peter Shiro and Steve Squeri are working on can be taker apart for future carpentry students to rebuild. While most students are hard at work either parroting back answers to their Math teacher or trying to convince their Social Studies teacher that the dog really ate their outline, a sizeable minority of the school’s popula- tion is busy working and learning at the Board of Cooperative Educational Services, where they are taking advantage of the vocational training program. Every morning at eight o’clock, buses leave the High School for BOCKS’ centers in Bethpage. Westbury and Bell more, where the students will spend three hours training for their chosen careers. “BOCKS helps to get a job in the field you’re interested in,” Michael Kilduff, technical electronics student, explained. Klectronics is just one of the courses; Farm- ingdale students can also be found in the carpentry, cosme tology, baking, refrigeration and air conditioning, airplane, auto and diesel mechanics, animal care and Licensed Practical programs. Their courses not only became their three year sequences required for graduation, but also put them well on their way to Nursing BOCKS certification in their fields. Regrettably, many non- BOCKS students believe the program is just an easy way out of high school. In truth, the courses are very demanding, involving lectures, homework, and written tests along with the hands-on training, A lot of peo- ple in the High School probably couldn’t hack it,” Bob McKnight, auto mechanics stu- dent, commented. Tony Nar- racci, senior, added, “Anyone can memorize dates, but it takes a lot to understand something like diesel mechanics.” Along with the BOCKS work, all the students in the program also spend part of their day back at the High School taking Knglish and other classes. Working on an engine or a mannequin hair doesn’t appeal to everyone, but the BOCKS stu- dents derive much satisfaction from the program. Mr. Gerva- soni, the program coordinator, stated, “The key point is they’re doing something they’re inter- ested in. “Working through BOCKS,” Frank Persida, auto mechanic student added, “gives you a feeling of accomplish- ment. Chris Urf, seen above, finds job possibilities for auto mechanics appealing. Cosmetology students Doreen Weich, Patty Pannebianco, Lisa Vargo. Gail Paris and Donna Hunter need 1,000 hours of training to take their certification test. I’m interested in people, and I get a personal gratifica- tion from making people attractive.

BOCKS 47 Mr. Schinina takes Craig Perri, Palma Ruffino. and Chris Kilanow ski out for their driving period. Some students feel the simula tors, used once a week, are a waste of time. Betty Starace is one of those stu- dents who enjoys driving. STUDENT DRIVER 48 Drivers Ed Student driver, Domingo DeGuz- man. concentrates on doing every- thing correctly. STUDENT DRIVER “Watch it!” cries Mr. Mar- quart, trying to act calm as yet another Drivers’ Educa- tion student nearly runs over a fire hydrant or some other stationary object. “You can hear the seat belts snapping in that kind of a situation,” he notes with a smile. Having taught students how to drive for nine years, he has cer- tainly seen his share of mish- aps. I enjoy it, though,” he is quick to point out, to which he adds that one of his favor- ite moments is the first time out with a new student. “They are completely at your mercy!” he grins. Mr. Corio, discoverer of the “metal magnetism” theory (that the metal in Drivers’ Ed. cars are by some mysteri- ous force attracted to the metal in parked cars) has also been through quite a lot in his ten year tenure as a Driv- ers’ Ed. teacher. “Several years ago I had this one girl who would say the rosary- before every class, and who would then ask what the chances were of coming back alive. I told her I thought we stood a fairly good chance of surviving.” As a teacher of new drivers, Mr. Corio’s first rule is to expect the unexpected.” Weird things can happen,” he says, and then goes on to relate the story of how a nameless student drove the entire car up onto the side- walk, from where Mr. Corio himself had to maneuver it back into the street. “We were over by Mill Lane, and the worst thing about it was the comments made by all the junior high school stu- dents who saw us.” As far as the course itself is concerned, Mr. Hill labels it a “tremendous benefit” to any- one, regardless of whether he or she already knows how to drive. He points out that the Blue Card given upon passing the course is good not only for acquiring senior license privileges for those who are not yet eighteen, but also for a fifteen per cent insurance premium reduction until the person reaches age 25. This is an extremely attractive part of the course as far as stu- dents are concerned, second only to their wanting to drive. In terms of the effec- tiveness of the program, all the teachers agree with Mr. Marquart that the record speaks for itself.” Driver’s Ed 49 While in media class, Doug Pur- cell waits for his cue. Lights, Camera, Action! Mass media .. . the means by which a thought or idea is communicated to many peo- ple at once. Television and films are, of course, the main media that come to mind because we practically live and breathe them. They influence almost every aspect of our lives and thinking. A certain group of students who want to be part of this influ- ential art make up the media class. Media is a half year course which is usually followed by a course in film making. Stu- dents in media study the things that go into making a T.V. show, and thus can bet- ter appreciate professional programs. Most of the class time is spent doing projects, including documentaries, news shows and commercials. The students also write situa- tion comedies and dramas, but there is seldom time to tape them. Many media students have hopes of entering the commu- nications field. “I wanted to be an actress, but 1 think it’s better and easier to get in behind the scenes,” Janine Sadowsky, junior, remarked. Liz Follett, junior, added, “I’m taking this because I want a career in theatre, and taking this course will teach me a little about this area of the business.” Mr. Ulric can recall at least a half dozen former students who have found careers in communica- tions. Two received full com- munications scholarships to New York Tech, and another now works in the Museum of Broadcasting. Media is usually not offered in high schools, so its availability here is a definite advantage to the creative stu- dents who want to know more about the glamorous world of television and film.

Schalet and Bob Shultz learn. 50 50 Media Searching, Thinking, Writing The hall in which room 150 is found is usually quiet, but at times a loud, resonant voice, explaining the tenets of journalism, emanated from that classroom to disrupt the quiet. It was Michael LoMonico, whose students were learning the proper methods of reporting and writing. “Our main purpose here is to prepare students for writ- ing and for publication in the school’s three literary publi- cations: Paper Lion, Muse and Media, and Hi-Life, explained Mr. LoMonico. In past years journalism classes have created their own news- paper, the Daler News, which the students laid out, typed, and set themselves. This year, however, the Daler News was phased out in favor of an increased journalism student participa- tion in Paper Lion, the school’s regular newspaper. Nearly seventy-five percent of the material in Paper Lion was submitted by jour- nalism students, some through Mr. LoMonico, but a large amount independently. One of the most interesting and unique features of the journalism classes was the heats posted on the walls. Each student was responsible for one article each week on a particular area of the school’s clubs, sports, events, classes, etc. Mike Weisbrod, sopho- more, commented, “I like this system because there isn’t a lot of pressure. You write a story, then when it’s finished you have another, but it is all very relaxed.” Some students found the beats annoying, however. Sometimes it was a pain,” John Camperlengo, senior, remarked. “I had a terrible time tracking down one particular teacher for an interview.” For those journalism stu- dents who were interested in pursuing a career in the field, the course provided as much exposure as possible to pro- fessionals. Newsday and Associated Press report- ers came to speak, and the class toured the Newsday plant in Melville. Even for students without plans for a future in journalism, how- ever, the class was interest- ing, and the writing skills emphasized provided a sound basis for almost any career. Constructive criticism is given by Mr. LoMonico regarding Marilyn Matera’s editorial. Journalism 51 Changing Times It may sound strange, but changing has much to do with gym. Students change clothes, change activities, and sometimes even change names (with Mull, that is). This year the Physical Edu- cation program went through several changes which met with strong but varied reac- tions from students. Probably the most signifi- cant change was the intro- duction of calisthenics and physical fitness tests. The loudest comments made con- cerning these programs were, naturally, the ones made in protest, and these were numerous. “I think it’s a hor- rible idea,” Marilyn Matera, senior, commented. “It doesn’t serve any purpose!” There were some students who felt the tests were valua- ble, however. Steve Melore, senior, remarked, “The fit- ness tests are a really good idea because they make peo- ple realize what kind of shape they’re in, and how impor- tant it is to be fit. The calis- thenics were a good idea, too, but they aren’t taken seri- ously so they are a waste.” Another complaint about the exercises stemmed from an entirely different reason. “The conditions in the girls’ gym are terrible,” Kristine Farrell, senior, explained, “and you have to do exercises on a dirty floor.” Students still had a choice of activities, but the classes lasted for ten weeks rather than five, and swimming was no longer mandatory for jun- iors and seniors. The major- ity of upperclassmen seemed relieved about the swimming change, but a few still felt it should be mandatory for everyone. “It’s important for people to know how to swim, and as long as we have the pool we should use it,” senior John Driscoll stated. Very few students will admit that they like gym, so it is hard to tell whether the new programs really affected their opinions. At least there was something new to like or dislike, and no one could say that gym is the same old thing every year. The strenous work of the weight machine attracta guys like Louis Romano. As a participant in co-ed volley- ball, Sandy Resnick waits expect- antly for the opportunity to score 8 point for his team. 52 Physical Education Determined to score well on the Crab soccer challenges the required physical fitness test, Robert four-legged abilities of the students Schultz readies himself at the start in the boys gym. of the 40 yard dash.

Creativity Fostered The words “Industrial Art” generally bring to mind unchanging images of house- hold items from candlesticks to cabinets. The attitudes of people connected with Indus- trial Arts have been chang- ing, however. No longer is one project assigned to a whole class, instead, more emphasis is placed on stu- dents choosing their own pro- jects. This situation is encourag- ing a new type of shop stu- dent who is more creative and more willing to attempt difficult projects. Customiza- tion is becoming very popular because students can build any feasible project they con- ceive, and are able to use shop classes as a means of expressing themselves. With general and advanced classes in wood, metal and electronics, plus courses in printing, graphic arts, cabi- netmaking, architectural drafting and mechanical drawing, there are tremen- dous possibilities for creativ- ity, whether it results in something very practical or something very artistic. Vari- ety and opportunity for expression dominate the Industrial Arts program. 54 Industrial Arts Auto shop provides exciting opportunities for the mechanically minded. Industrial Arts 55 Step Into My Laboratory “Double, double, toil and trouble, Fire burn and cauldron bub- ble!” Macbeth While not all lab experi- ments conjure vivid images of deranged scientists, and overflowing test tubes, lab periods in physics, biology, chemistry, earth science and other science classes can still be very interesting and a lot of fun. More importantly, they are extremely instruc- tive. ‘Labs are the tools for learning,” Arthur Boyle, chemistry teacher, remarked. Labs are required by law in all Regents science courses, but very few students resent having to do them. Dissecting frogs, measuring gravita- tional pull, and mixing chem- icals are a lot more interest- ing than listening to lectures and taking notes all the time. Steve Hoffman, senior, explained, “After a full period of lecturing, labs bring a change of pace and a chance to stretch my legs.” Doing the labs also gave extra meaning to the lectures. “I think it’s fascinating to see a theory in front of me,” John DeTommaso, junior, ex- plained. There are boring labs, and there are students who don't like doing labs, but these are the rare exceptions. In gen- eral, labs provide much of the appeal of science classes, and humorous incidents occuring during labs will be remem- bered long after the facts and formulas are forgotten. Physics labs are never complete unless Mr. Brody demonstrates. 56 Labs Help is offered to Laura Lueck by Honors students under the Mr. Gryzlo as they complete a sci- direction of Mr. Kaufman complete ence experiment. a year long project.

La Lingua — Sprache La Langue — La Lengua Crumbling aqueducts and Medieval castles, quaint shops lining narrow streets and towering Gothic cathe- drals, and beautiful country- side everywhere, brought to mind at the mention of Europe. A great many stu- dents, whether because of their ancestry or just from a desire to travel, long for the time when they will get a chance to cross the Atlantic and see all these delights firsthand. But while it is cer- tainly possible to get around Europe knowing only Eng- lish, such a trip would be greatly enhanced by having at least a little knowledge of the local language. For that reason, as well as several oth- ers, a great many students devote one or more of their electives to the study of Ital- ian, French, Spanish or Ger- man in the foreign language program. “My parents spoke Ger- man at home,” Karen Hinck, senior, related, “and now after two years of taking the language, I’m going to visit Germany.” Naomi Wein- stein, senior, admitted, “I’ve continued my study of French all these years so that I can go to France in my jun- ior year of college.” Career plans also motivate some students to study a for- eign language. Mrs. Cherie Bluth, Spanish teacher, explained, “A knowledge of another language can increase one’s chances for a job in many fields, especially business, where many compa- nies deal with other coun- tries.” Maria Ferraroni, sen- ior, is taking all four lan- guages offered in preparation for her future. “I really want to be an interpreter and work at the U.N.,” Ferraroni con- fided. For those students without definite reasons for having started language, various influences affect whether they continue their studies. Nancy Sontag, senior, dis- closed, “I liked Spanish a lot when I took it, but I stopped after taking the Regents, because of a full schedule.” Teacher popularity also influences the decisions of some students. “Mrs. Perez is an excellent teacher,” Sontag continued. “She is very help- ful to her students, working with them during her free periods.” Very often students dis- continue their foreign lan- guage work after high school or college, and forget much of what they learned, but the experience of studying another language helps broaden their knowledge and understanding of people in other countries.

It’s Not the Commons Somewhere between the drone of classroom lectures and discussions, and the row- diness of the Commons, there is a happy medium of sound and atmosphere known as the library. Here students gather to work, relax with friends, or sometimes in the winter, just keep warm. The peace of the library often proves invaluable to students, especially when faced with last minute home- work and studying. Steve Wolk, sophomore, men- tioned, “I use the library when I have to do Humani- ties work.” The library is also beneficial to the frustrated victims of term papers, who can almost always find the necessary research material. “If you really have to get something done, it’s the place to go, Ann McClarkey, jun- ior, said. Teachers, too, find the library a convenient place to work. Albert Kent remarked, “I come here to keep alert of new develop- ments in biology and other areas of science.” There is more to the library than quiet and work, however. Magazines ranging from Motor Trend to Sev- enteen provide pleasant reading during a free period. There are also facilities to lis- ten to a great variety of records, from Hello Dolly! to Hayden’s Surprise Sym- phony to the Beatles. Visual aids such as filmstrips and microfiche are also plentiful, and the librarians, although unpopular with noisemakers, are always helpful in finding these and any other materials requested. Libraries usually have the image of attracting only bookworms, but the lack of empty seats during most periods confirms that a great many students find the library a useful place to go. 60 Library Students find the library’s extensive resources helpful in their studies. A valuable resource aid for Phil Czarnec and Phil Albanese is the Read- er’s Guide to Periodical Litera- Library 61 ture. Attracting New Picture if you will your favorite football player slav- ing away, trying to prepare a chocolate souffle over a hot stove in a little lace apron! Hard to imagine? Our stereo- typic frames of reference make it so. But the fact is, scenes like this do take place as more and more members of the male population are starting to take Home Eco- nomics courses. Steven Wein- berg, senior stated, “Home Economics will help me become more independent in the fact that I can rely on myself, and I really enjoy sewing.” Although the figures are not staggering, there is a sig- nificant increase in the num- ber of male Home Economics students over the past few years. Out of the 19 Home Economics classes, there are about 25 boys. According to Department Chairperson Ann Heaney, Home Econom- ics is a “very family oriented course.” Thus there are both male and female students. Also, the tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grades are all mixed in the same classes, which gives a feeling of a family set- ting. Only about two percent of the students fail the course and Mrs. Heaney feels that the courses give them a feel- ing of self-worth; it lets them know that they can go out into the world and do all right. The Home Economics department contains a wide variety of courses, among these Bachelor Survival and Child Development for exam- ple. There is also a Prepara- tion for Marriage course in Faces which students learn, among many other things, how to prepare a formal wedding. In the food labs students, of course, learn how to cook, but it goes beyond this. With only 40 minutes time, the lab involves a lot of planning, management and budgeting of time. Although ninety percent of the students take Home Eco- nomics for enjoyment and for use during leisure time, as with Creative Sewing and Crafts, some students take the courses with career inter- ests in mind. “I want to be a nurse,” remarked a Child Development student, Laura Vigh, “this course teaches how to take care of babies and things. It’s so useful and interesting. Also she stated, “Many of the boys that enroll in these courses go on to study careers in culinary arts, clothes designing, food tech- nology or hotel management. Home Economics is a melt- ing pot of all nationalities. The Home Economics department finds many non- English speaking students taking courses, as it is possi- ble to communicate in this type of informal setting with- out the use of language. One must also realize that Home Economics is a must in every other foreign country for both males and females from first grade on. “Home Economics is the science of life,” remarked Mrs. Heany. “It involves the management of time and energy, material manage- ment, and the study of rela- tionships.” Home Economics provides Ste- phanie Maynes with an opportunity to practice sewing. 62 Home Economics A cozy corner in the Home Economics room provides a great spot for the needlework of Nancy Byrnes, Elba Morales, Debbie Reif, Jean Rindos and Debbie Blackman.

Home Economics 63 On the Downbeat A quick tap of the baton, and the random voice of tuning instruments was replaced by an enforced silence. With an abrupt downward thrust of the arm, the orchestra burst into sound, as bows, drawn across taut strings, rendered lyrical melodies, accompanied by a subtle wood- wind background. Director Peter Tomforde’s goal for the orchestra was to have all 23 members strive for perfection during lessons, rehearsals, and performances. “Mr. T is a nice guy. He made us work hard but he’s also a fun person and we learned a lot,” Maureen Leyes, sophomore remarked. Although the orchestra worked hard, the members did have some lighter moments. They enjoyed Mondays, when the band came to jam with them. “It gave us a break from straight playing,” Jeanine Ingrassia, sophomore, explained. Boredorr of continuous classes and prac tice was relieved by trips taker to New York City to listen to the Philharmonic play at Lincoln Center. “The bus rides were the best part of the trips, but it was nice to listen to professionals practice. It was good to observe them; we learned a lot.” Eller Simon, sophomore, commented. Mr. Tomforde planned t have exchange concerts wit! orchestras from other high schools on Long Island, and to enter the New York State Schoo' Music Association Festival in the spring. “I believe all our work will be duly rewarded,” Mr Tomforde stated. So whether ii was in practice for these per- formances or for the school con- certs, the baton went up, the musicians came to attention, and beautiful music again seeped into the surrounding corridors. The cello is challenging, but Linda Guercio finds it can also be fun.

While listening to Mrs. Allison’s piano accompaniment Yvonne Bur- nell and her peers concentrate on their music. Voices Expand in Song If one walks all the way down the hallway beside the audito- rium and makes a sharp left, the usual chatter of the halls is replaced by lilting tunes emanat- ing from the vocal chords of a select group of students who make up the chorus. Chorus meets during a variety of periods and days of the week, each member rehearsing when his or her schedule permits. Unfortunately, these diverse rehearsal schedules often create disunity. The fact that we meet different periods makes it diffi- cult to get things together,” Adele Hess, sophomore, noted. ‘‘We only meet one rotation period and it makes a big differ- ence from just a few voices to the entire chorus.” The rehearsal time prepares chorus members for the many formal and informal concerts they perform throughout the year. These include the major Winter and Spring Concerts, exchange concerts with the jun- ior high and elementary schools, concerts for the senior citizens from St. Lukes Church and Daleview, and a Christmas carol- ing trip to Fifth Avenue and Rockefeller Center. It’s a nice feeling to see our work enjoyed by all, commented Shanni Reine, sophomore. The formal concerts involve a mixture of choral literature including major works from the baroque, romantic, contempo- rary, and classical periods, all performed with piano accompa- niment. This gives the musicians a well-rounded curriculum, but not all the selections appeal to them. Tom Gamblin, senior, sug- gested, “I think we should do less religious music.” Their pro- gram, however, also includes mellow pop songs and theatre music from recent years, such as selections from “Brigadoon,” “They’re Playing Our Song,” and “1776.” Sometimes these are performed with the orchestra, which Mrs. Allison, the chorus director, feels “gives the idea of a complete musical unit.” Aside from getting everyone to rehearse at the same time, other goals of the chorus are to grow in size and to sing more compli- cated arrangements. According to Mrs. Allison, the two go hand in hand. “The quality of the music grows with the size; more talent helps the work become more rewarding for our mem- bers.” With the enthusiasm the chorus shows in its concerts directed toward achieving these goals, soon they should be part of a growing list of accomplish- ments. Chorus 65 Of Tempera, Clay, and Freedom It isn’t unusual to see students passing notes or staring aimlessly during a class, however the special interest art students take in their courses seems to eliminate these common activities. The nature of the program is such that each student is encouraged to express his of her cre- ativity and individuality Art also gives a strop background for possi careers. Art classes are enjoy by many students beca they are an outlet whicl not available to them' other subjects. “Art. way to express and relate feelings and emotions ’hich are stimulated by . _ - immediate surround- ings, John Leddy, junior, explained. Victor Chang, more, added, “It is a course because it is relaxing, and you joy it because you are iterested in art.” The class can be reward- )g in other ways as well, for the students’ work is evaluated and exhibited in iow cases. Students are also eligible to enter thei|f J work in contests in which prizes are given. Barbara Gilloon, junior, emphasized, “I enjoy drawing because it’s fun, but the course also pro- vides career opportuni- ties.” Students in Studio Art, for instance, are expo- to drawing, painting, commercial art. After course, ey are free to go on to more specific fields, such as advertising design and creative crafts. The job possibilities from this art class and others include positions as illustrators, fashion designers, paste- up and layout artists, car- toonists, and many others. There are also careers available in the fine arts and photography. Whether there are career goals involved or not, art can always provide the creative student with a great hobby. Leddy exclaimed, “Although I don’t plan to pursue a pro- fessional career in art, I find it a source of elation.” 1 - A look of anguish is shown on announced. slatest, when Pressure Strikes Term papera require time and Inner prensure sometimes is research as Christa Spreizer discov- relieved by a physical action, ere. OW! I felt a sharp kick on my left heel. My first thought was that one of the labora- tory rabbits that occasionally roams the halls, believed my ankle to be a carrot. On sec- ond thought, a rabbit would know better. 1 soon discovered that the cute guy in back of me was the culprit. He was digging his Frye boots into my ankle and looking very absurd. Did he want a date? My phone number? My naivete was showing because in all actual- ity what the creep wanted was the answer to number three. Talk about being a poor judge of character! He was pointing frantically to his fingers and turning red. As I kept staring at him, his motions grew more obvious and he mouthed obscenities. It is amazing the depths into which pressure can lead you. In back of me sits Joe Cool turning red and worried about number three. Of course, I gave him the answer, because after all, the pressure was felt on both sides. Walking down the hall after class, Mr. Cool walked up and put his arm around me and murmured in his coo- lest voice, “Thanks kid.” “Oh gosh, golly, gee wiz, wow! That just made my day,” I thought sarcastically. By the library there is a poor unfortunate soul who carries enough books to reach his nose; beside him is a girl who used to be pretty but now has bags under her eyes . which jiggle when she smiles.

There goes another student , walking out of the Chemistry mid-term with an eye twitch and nails that look ragged ... another one bites the dust! However, on rare occasions I do spy a tranquil soul, whose face is unlined and who actually walks casually from class to class. There really are those who actually eat breakfast before the SAT’s, because their stom- achs aren’t cramped by nerv- ousness. The students of this school must either make peace with themselves and decide that the SAT’s and other various exams are not the beginning and end of the world or bear the full burden of academic pressures which can be as numerous as puddles during a rain storm. 68 Pressure PEANUTS YOU LOOK LIKE YOU'RE SINKING SIR... - IM DR0WNIN6 IN A SEA OF UNANSDEREP QUESTIONS...

Comparisons of how chil- dren are raised in the United States to other countries, dis- cussions on the impact of tel- evision and the changing American family, and studies of children’s psychological development are some of the topics covered. The students also go outside the classroom to observe preschoolers in local programs. One major project under- taken by the class was a holi- day visit to a Hempstead day-care center. With 100 dollars raised from a bake sale, the students provided 65 presents for the three, four, and five year-old children. Mike Smith, senior, who played Santa Claus, exclaim- ed, “Little kids are true believers, and they were thrilled.” “Childhood is the most important time of life and it is necessary to appreciate and understand it.” By taking her class, students gained insight into why children are the way they are: insight which can only help when they become parents themselves. The smile on Melissa’s face shows her happiness when she gets to meet Santa. Conversation provides Joanne Visalli and a friend with an opportu- nity to get better acquainted. Exploring Childhood 71 Challenging Their Minds Expressive gestures are a part of the lesson Mr. Conroy delivers. When people are asked to name the most successful program at the high school, athletics would be the most prevalent answer. Our school ranks with the top teams in the state in several athletic areas. Yet most students, and parents, are unaware of the fact that we have one of the most extensive and successful Advanced Placement pro- grams. Seven out of the eleven course disciplines are offered. Due to a declining enroll- ment, other schools have been forced to curtail some of their Advanced Placement programs. Although Farm- ingdale also suffers from a declining student population, the number of A.P. courses has increased this year, due to the renewed interest of most seniors in obtaining col- lege credit. The addition of Art A.P. and the renewal of European History A.P. were brought about by the large number of student requests. A second class of English A.P. was added to compen- sate for the unusually high interest in that class. The majority of students take the courses in order to obtain college credit. Many will then be able to save money on their college educa- tion. “My hope is to obtain sophomore standing in col- lege; I could use that extra money for other things,” Kathy Palmer, senior, stated. The workload is strenuous, but it helps to prepare the students for college work. “My Biology A.P. course places a lot of emphasis on developing proper study hab- its. The material isn’t spoon- fed to us any longer,” explained Joanne Visalli, sen- ior. Beth Rosen, senior, voiced the popular opinion of Calculus students when she said, “She (Miss Caccavallo) goes so quickly because of the intense preparation needed for the A.P. test. She gives you the background and you have to discover the rest for yourself by doing the home- work.” The Advanced Placement program here is but one of the many opportunities offered to students. Although the courses are very challeng- ing, the student who takes a genuine interest in them will be rewarded many times over in college.

Barbarians, Bierce, and Bernstein Form Strange Alliance “Humanities; that’s all 1 ever hear around here. What the heck is it?” exclaimed Rob Manfredi, senior. The answer is that Humanities is a three year program which combines the fields of Eng- lish and social studies with the cultural areas of art, music, dance, and architec- ture. Humanities 10 deals with the ancient civilizations of Egypt and Mesopotamia and the development of Western Civilization until the French Revolution. Humanities 11 dwells on American Culture while delving into the histori- cal, political, economic, and social structures on which our life is now based. From where Humanities 10 leaves off, to present day Europe forms the bulk of the Humanities 12 curriculum. The program has grown by word of mouth; students who enjoy the class tell their younger brothers, sisters, and friends about it. Vicki Sper- ling, sophomore, revealed, “1 heard from a lot of people that it was a very good course and that the teachers were great.” Ellen Murray, sopho- more, admitted, “An older friend of mine told me that I’d be crazy NOT to take it. Also many of my teachers strongly recommended it.” Although it is more chal- lenging than other classes, i.e. the sophomore year reading assignments include works normally read by college stu- dents, most students enjoy Humanities. As Eric Sekler, junior, commented, “It’s a fun class; you are able to be comfortable in a learning atmosphere.” Dawn-Marie Nolan, sophomore, men- tioned, “I expected it to be a lot harder than it actually is.” The Humanities classes also get into the cultural aspect of the past and pres- ent as art, architecture, and music play an important part in the curriculum. Some of the classes go on field trips to plays, operas, museums, and ballets in the city. Cathy Cosentino, junior, put it best by saying, “I learn cultural information that pertains to my every day life, not just some junk that I’ll never care about.” There’s more reasoning than just, “I was told to,” in taking the Humanities pro- gram. Senior, Laurie DiPaola related, “I got a lot out of all three classes. I think that it will be a tremendous help in college.” Fortunately, the program has been successful in producing what it desires — humanitarians.

A boy pushes a branch out of his path. Birds are chirping. A small rabbit scurries out of the way. People stranded in the wilderness? A group of campers? No, it’s the Special Topics in Biology class on a field trip to a nature pre- serve. The reasons teachers plan field trips are varied. Depending on the subject and the teacher's goals, each field trip serves a different purpose. One thing the teach- ers and students seem to agree on is that the field trips are very enjoyable, and give everyone a break from the daily routine of school. “They expand your education,” jun- ior Anil Gulati added. The classes which are most renowned for their field trips are those of the Humanities program. The tenth grade Humanities teachers, Flora Hartford and Kenneth Schwinn, take their classes on field trips approximately once every one or two months. Vinnie Napodano, junior, remarked, “The field trip I will never forget is the one with Mrs. Hartford when the bus broke down. We finaily got home at 3:30 a.m.” These trips usually include a visit to a museum, dinner in New York City, and an eve- ning of theater. The plays are often extremely popular Broadway shows, such as “A Chorus Line,” “Sweeney Todd,” and Evita. At other times, though, quality plays can be found off Broadway, at theaters like the Equity Library, where students enjoyed the Canterbury New York City has a constant source of photographic subjects for students such as Mimi Fristrom. Tales” and “Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum.” Mrs. Hartford stated, “The reason we take field trips is to acquaint stu- dents with the city and at the same time relate to the cur- riculum. They can under- stand and appreciate what they see and therefore receive a total education.” Ken Ulric, who teaches the media class, mentioned, “Field trips are a good idea. They are fun and add a lot to the course. It is good to see professional actors in action because in that way, students learn from some of the best in the field.” Robert Riedy, Special Top- ics in Biology teacher, explained, “Field trips pro- vide first hand experience.” The trip to Cedar Creek showed students how a water treatment plant actually works, after they studied this in school. “It was fascinating to see raw sewage coming into one end of the plant and nearly potable water coming out the other end,” Reidy added. The trip to Mutton- town Nature Preserves showed the class the relation- ships of organisms to their environment. Students enjoy field trips as much as or more than their teachers. Al Schellhorn, jun- ior, observed, Because of field trips, learning comes more naturally. They prove that education can be fun.” This attitude is shared by most of the students who find that field trips are one of the best parts of school, for they add an enjoyable dimension to learning. Field Trips 77 x® Change in Name Signals a Revised Educational Concept. The name has changed. The staff has changed. There is new painting being done to make the former home eco- nomics room look even more aesthetic. But what’s the big deal? That place has been around for a while already, so how much could really be dif- ferent? The big deal is that the Alternate School, previously the Informal School, has undergone some major inter- nal changes. The enthusiasm that exudes from these three rooms can be felt throughout the school. The number of bake sales, charitable pro- jects, raffles, and feasts, make it seem as though there are a great many more stu- dents involved than there actually are. A lot of this renewed spirit can be attributed to the fact that the Alternate School no longer has the Sword of Damocles hanging above its head, threatening its very existence. This year, after overwhelming protest against its closing, the program is receiving wholehearted sup- port from Mr. McLennan and the administration. Another reason for the enthused atmosphere in the Alternate School is the revi- talized attitude of the teach- ers, evident, for instance, by their boogeying to the Rolling Stones during a free period. We had grown a little stale,” admitted Mark Sherrin, math teacher. It was time to try new things.” Senior Chris Ihm observed, “The teachers are more into it this year, and that makes for even better communications between teachers and students.” More activities have been incorporated into the Alter- nate School program. “We’re much more active this year, complete with bake sales, paper drives, and trips to the city,” Sue Dick, senior, pointed out. During the Christmas season, the Alter- nate School adopted a needy family and raised over $200 by raffling off a hand-made afghan. Alternate School rep- resentatives then took the mother and children shop- ping in Farmingdale to buy food and new clothes and shoes. Local merchants even gave discounts to make the money go farther. Some of the other changes in the Alternate School deal with the l.E.P. (Individual- ized Education Plans). This program helps build rapport between the teachers and the students, since the individual student must discuss his or her expectations, progress, and problems. Bob McKean, coordinator of the Alternate School and English AP teacher, holds the l.E.P. con- ferences quarterly. At these conferences, each student is given a project. The project can fall into one or all of three categories: school serv- ice, community service, or self-improvement. For in- stance, Terri Kelly, junior, volunteers at Daleview Nurs- ing Home weekly, while Karen Asaro, senior, is a teacher’s aide at Woodward Parkway Elementary School. “The projects set you straight, give you a goal, and let you contribute something to the community,” empha- sized John Capobianco, jun- ior. English teacher Karen Lund cheerfully accepts a test paper from Chris Taylor.

Honor students rubbing elbows with jocks, along with others active in drama, journalism, and a wide variety of inter- ests come together in a melt- ing pot. The reasons for join- ing the Alternate School are nearly as varied as the stu- dents themselves, but a great many deal with the unique approach to education. “It offered me a chance to expe- riment in a different and exciting form of learning,” Howie Shore, senior, ex- plained. Janice Rinsky, sen- ior, added, “I thought it would be fun, and I wanted to take responsibility for my own actions in school work.” Senior Tom Baccarella, re- marked, “I entered the Alter- nate School because I saw a need for change in my aca- demic life.” The Alternate School is a big family. It doesn’t work as a separate entity, however, but in tandem, as a vital organ in the school’s body. 80 Alternate School Schedules, lessons and grading must be carefully coordinated each week by Mr. Lyons. Free time to enjoy his music is an important aspect of the Alternate School to Robert Nockowitz. Alternate School 81 STANDING OUT - AS L In architect may design a building and call it a school, but without the people, it is really just another building. With the people, it suddenly has a personality-goals, values and a vital- ity all its own. It is the teachers, sharing what they know, and instilling a desire to know more. It is the seniors, making the most of their year at the top, the juniors, sure of themselves and their place, and the newcomers, freshmen and sopho- mores trying to get comfortable in a different environ- ment. It is hundreds of faces, all with something to con- tribute, all standing out in their own way. “Dr. Who?” Board of Education, Charles Karp, Kevin Armstrong, Robert Campbell, Louis Avallone, Carla Pipert, Robert Weiss, Prank Ranieri .. . questioned Kathleen Keck, sophomore, when asked if she could identify Dr. Brockman. Being among those with faceless names seems to be the common lot of many district administra- tors. Although the district-wide and individual school admin- istrators function as the supervisors of all activities which relate to the school, few, if any, students can identify who these men are and what they do. Mr. Mac- kin, assistant principal, com- mented, “It bothers me that students can’t identify me. It is frustrating, but profes- sional anonymity is the nature of the job.” The districtwide adminis- trators are responsible foi financing and budgeting, hir- ing and firing, reorganization of the district due to declin- ing enrollment, and negotiat- ing contracts with district employees. Among the functions of the administrator of each school is the coordination of events and educational programs arranging schedules, main- taining order in the building and the day-to-day running of the school. After doing some explor- ing, one can easily see that an administrator’s job is vital tc our school system. So the next time you pass someone wearing a suit and tie in the hall, stop and ask him if he's “Dr. Who.” 84 People Administration Douglas Begeal, Assistant Princi- Clifford Mackin, Assistant Princi- Arthur Sumbler, Assistant to the pal pal Principal James Kelly, Dean of Students Paul Murphy, Grade 12 Dean Patrick llealy,Grade 11 Dean Charles Zodda, Grade 10 Dean Leonard Marino, Director of Guid- ance Seated together at a luncheon are: Lewis Yevoli, State Assembly- man; Geoffrey Mattock, Administra- tive Director; Richard Seidell, Assistant to the Superintendent for Business; Gerard Donolli, Adminis- trative Director; Robert Campbell, board member; Kevin Armstrong, board member; Charles Karp, board member; Dr. Fred Brockmann, Superintendent of Schools; Owen Johnson, State Senator. People Administration 85 85 Piven Pins Past Almost pinned to the floor by his opponent’s weight and strength, the young Olympic hopeful struggled to gain a lead. But this wrestler’s dreams which depended so heavily upon the match were shattered when a pulled mus- cle disqualified him from the finals. This was the end of his wrestling career, but the beginning of a new experi- ence. The wrestler, Mark Piven, print shop teacher and Daler Pressman advisor, is now a wrestling referee for various high schools and colleges. Traveling mostly up and down the east coast, Mr. Piven referees the National Championships, special tour- naments, and as many as five matches per week. “I like what I’m doing now. It keeps me involved,” cited Mr. Piven. Prior to this Mr. Piven has coached at the New York Maritime College leading his team to a third place national victory. No longer coaching, he commented, “It (the refer- eeing) enables me to see friends I met in college that are now coaches, and is less Michael Ackerman: Guidance Madeline Ahern: Corrective Reading, Reading Clinic, Adv.

Intro, to Calculus frustrating than coaching. This way I can do the job myself.” Penn State opened its doors to Mr. Piven in 1960 and it was there that he earned his master’s degree in 1967. “Wrestling is my life. It took me through college,” Mr. Piven said. Wrestling, he feels, is unique because it doesn’t disqualify anyone because he’s not tall enough or the right weight. Also because it is an individual sport, one can’t blame anyone but himself for a defeat. This helps you to grow up and assume responsibilities,” assured Mr. Piven. Along with the responsibilities goes self-restraint to “not go out drinking, but most impor- tantly, to diet.” “Yes, I miss the competi- tion of wrestling,” admitted Mr. Piven. But, with many long practice hours and posi- tive wrestling experiences behind him, Mr. Piven is con- tented, for as he puts it, “You get a feeling of accomplish- ment that you’ve reached the point you have worked for.” 86 People Kaculty A helpful geometry hint is offered by Miss Selitte to Katy Bor- rosso.

Charles Schultz, Hannah, or Barbera he isn’t, but art teacher Meyer Sherman is a gifted freelance cartoonist nonetheless. Mr. Sherman practices his second occupa- tion in the summer for the most part, and in his spare time throughout the year. By attending art schools in New York City, Kansas, and England, Mr. Sherman acquired a great familiarity with all forms of art and design including advertising, illustration, and ceramics. This diversity in the field is something that Mr. Sherman appreciates. “Art is much more than a science. The term commercial art is bad because you can do so much more such as layouts and fashion, figure drawing, pen and ink, touch up, and designs,” Sherman explained. The world of televised car- toons, such as “The Flint- stones,” “Bugs Bunny,” and Scooby Doo,” is distinctly different from the lives of the cartoonists who invented them. Each of these individu- als began his profession by either working as an inde- pendent artist on his per- sonal clients’ accounts or by joining an agency which chose only the works appro- priate for the agency’s clien- tele. Mr. Sherman noted, “Usually one would receive $75 to $100 for each draw- ing.” Students considering a career in art tend to look only upon the field’s positive aspects. But one must also realize, as Mr. Sherman stated, that “the hours are long and there is a great deal of frustration. This is hard work; some things have to be done over and over again. Things have to be fresh and new. A package firm may not use all of the designs one makes and may change the work from its original form.” The twenty-two year vet- eran teacher is a proven expert according to all of his students. Elise Schreiner, a junior who took a survey of art course from Mr. Sherman two years ago, commented, “Mr. Sherman made learning fun and something you wanted to do. From his man- ner of teaching the course, I learned many different fields of art. He was very honest and encouraging ana told me what education I needed for the career in art I’m plan- ning.” His successful side-career is evidence of his outstanding artistic ability, but more importantly, he has a desire to help students. According to Mr. Sherman a student interested in the field of art should “get the best educa- tion available. An emphasis should be placed on English and communication.” Mr. Sherman’s creativity and dedication to teaching have been of great assistance to his art students. A Charles Schultz or Hannah isn’t what we need because we already have what’s best — a creative art teacher who’s dedicated to helping his students mani- fest their talents. 88 People Faculty A distraction interrupts the Mr. Sherman demonstrates the conversation between Mrs. Rey- art of charcoal cartooning for his stu- nolds, Mrs. Murphy, and Mrs. dents.

But this isn’t a typical band — it’s the Teachers’ Band! The uniqueness of this band is related to its mem- bers. The lead guitarist is English teacher David Set- teducati, supported by bassist Bruce Gelbman, who teaches Biology. Bob Monteleone, an English teacher, is lead vocalist, and Mark Sherrin doubles as a Math teacher and a guitarist. On the day before Christmas Vacation 1979, nine hundred students gathered to hear the band’s first performance. Their thunderous approval marked the beginning of the band’s successful expansion. This expansion included per- formances at a dance sponsored by the Patc- hogue Parent-Teachers Association, two retire- ment parties and a wed- ding. Becoming the Hunting- ton Town House band is one of the teachers’ goals. They are planning an audition sometime in the near future. Getting more steady jobs playing will supplement their incomes so that they won’t have to keep their second jobs teaching summer school, doing carpentry, etc. The band members have a great enthusiasm and feel that the band brings students closer to the fac- ulty. “The band begins conversations. It makes it easier for students to talk to us and gives us a good discussion topic ... the school shouldn’t frown on teachers who get together to show the personal sides of their lives,” commented Bruce Gelbman. The band enables students to see what the teachers are really like. As Bob Montel- eone says, “We aren’t just teachers; we are human, too.” Although the Teachers’ Band isn’t the typical school band, it provides a different dimension to stu- dent-faculty relations, a dimension which enhances and adds diversity to the school.

It’s the shot that Miss Frances Kassler, Eng- lish teacher, hears at the pool, signaling that her swim meet has commenced. Miss Kassler started swim- ming when she was four or five years old, and then at the age of eight started compet- ing in the Amateur Athletic Union. She continued this competition for nine years. Later, she was college swim team captain at Adelphi. Now she competes on the A.A.U. Masters Team which is a team for those over the age of 25. “I do it now mostly for fun and exercise, not as much for the winning. It’s really great because there are people there of all ages, from all over, and so it’s a friendly thing, not like in college where it was only important to win.

Italian It Ain’t Just Books Jim intensified his concen- tration for the serve. A drenching sweat covered his increasingly tired body. But he didn’t care, for he was among friends, and strangely enough ... one was his Eng- lish teacher. Jim Horan and Michael LoMonico, like a growing number of students and teachers, have a special type of relationship; a friendship that could only develop in a school as diverse and free as ours. The majority of these stu- dent-faculty friendships start like any other friendship — gradually. Just talking or jok- ing around before and after class helps build a relation- ship. “Whenever I’m in that end of the building, I’ll stop by to chat with Miss Lindeman, and we’ll talk not about Biol- ogy or school, but I’ll ask her for advice or just talk about nothing in particular,” Feli- cia Tirico, junior, com- mented. Some friendships go much farther. Our tired, sweaty friend Jim plays racquetball with his teacher after school. “I think that it’s great to have a teacher as a friend instead oi just a figure of authority,” Jim Horan, senior said. Others visit teachers at their homes or ice versa. Jim Lavelle, senior, stated, “Mr. Cates is an easy person to talk to both inside and out of school.” Sometimes graduation can’t even stop student-fac- ulty relationships. Former students can often be seen visiting their former teachers during their first college vacations. Rose Kenney, for- mer high school student, stated, “I come back to visit my old teachers because I miss them. I don’t think of them as teachers anymore — they’re more like friends than anything else.” 94 People Faculty Marta Perez: Spanish Barbara Phocas: Home Economics Aase Piekut: Special Education Edith Pinsker: Special Class Mark Piven: General Print Shop, Adv.

This man is very impor- tant to our singing librar- ian, Mrs. Partridge, who came to the high school in 1967 and is in charge of the English and Science, Career and College Corner. She discovered her star- tling lineage a few years ago while searching through her family roots. “I became interested in genealogy about 10 years ago for the sake of curios- ity; 1 just wish I had started while I was in high school.” While Mrs. Partridge might save her genealogy books for rainy days, when the weather is nice she spends the day on the water in her sailboat Xanadu (Pleasure Palace). “I sail in the Long Island Sound and have cruised up the coast as far as Maine. I sail everytime I get the chance throughout the summer up until Thanks- giving Day.” Besides being a noteworthy sailor, Mrs. Partridge also has musical abilities. She played the trumpet in high school and her husband and five kids are interested in music. There was no room for big instruments on my little sail- boat, so we decided to buy recorders for the whole fam- ily and we jammed-out all the way to Cape Cod.” She has played in the Early Music Workshop in England and plays at the Renaissance Fair in Huntington annually. She plays ten different types of recorders, the krumhorn, mute cornet and various other Renaissance style instruments. “The alto re- corder is my favorite instru- ment and the one I play the most.” Mrs. Partridge also enjoys playing tennis and fishing. Asked what her favorite hobby is she still considers herself a “library bum.” “I love to search through the libraries in every town I travel to.” People Faculty 97 As the Heads Roll Few students will forget a point Pronunciation is demonstrated made by Mr. Xenos. by I a Senora Perez A chill came over me as I went into shock. But it wasn’t hard to picture bloody heads tom from limp bodies falling into a desolate ditch. Boy, that Attila the Hun was cruel and my teacher was so enthused and excited you just had to get into the lesson. A teacher who possesses a constant energy and indomi- table fervor is just someone you can’t forget. They can easily get into a lesson and go completely bananas. As Steve Mancuso, senior says, “I think I’ll always remember the teachers who do crazy things in class and keeps you entertained.” But other students will remember the humorous teachers whose sly or witty remarks often add life to an otherwise dull subject. “I’ll remember the teachers who don’t take everything so seri- ously,” Barbara Gilloon, jun- ior, commented. Although the crazy or at least unusual teachers attract the majority’s attention, some students are. • more impressed by the sensitive and considerate ones. Marie Nappi, senior, stated, “Those teachers who have a good rel- ationship with their students, really understand them and care about them are, in my opinion, the best. They treat you as more than a student.” While in school students are apt to dislike getting a load of work from a teacher, in future years, these teach- ers will be appreciated. “I’ll really remember and appreci- ate the teacher who treats me maturely and gives me responsibility,” Mark Jan- uszewski, commented. Unfortunately, the good teachers are not always the ones students remember the most. The boring or strict ones sometimes leave a more vivid impression. “I’ll never forget the screaming of my teacher as long as I live,” Mary Campbell, senior, stated. After four years of high school, students have been subjected to a number of teachers. Some are great, some all right, and some sim- ply terrible. They’ll know which are which if they can see heads rolling in 10 years.

There are those who stay after, but even the extra-curricular activists soon return home for the night. It is at this time that the school seems to be trans- formed into a totally differ- ent place. The hustle and bustle of crowded hallways are transmitted into the silent and mysterious loneli- ness of the realm of ... THE CUSTODIANS! In addition to the 14 famil- iar custodial faces we may see during the dayshift there are ten others working on the three-to-eleven shift, and six more on the eleven p.m. to seven a.m. shift. There are custodians in the building at all times, even on weekends. One might wonder why any- one would want to undertake such a lonely and grueling occupation, but Head Custo- dian Nick LaMorte conjec- tured, “Maybe it’s because they feel comfortable; they don’t really have to deal with the public. But I think mostly they probably do this as a second job because it is hard to support a family on the pay. It is usually just a sup- plement to their incomes.” Yet the importance of the job is not to be taken lightly. With 433,000 square feet to the school and an olympic- size indoor heated pool which contains 220,000 gallons of water, the custodian is always on his toes. The main duties of the dayshift workers are to take care of teacher requests, maintenance and all major problems. Custodian A1 Graf finds that one of the toughest jobs is security; cutting down on rowdiness and vandalism. Then there is also a pool operator. The nighttime workers are responsible for keeping immaculate the many classrooms, corridors, stairwells, gyms, and bath- rooms and also for reporting any maintenance and secu- rity problems. Mr. LaMorte commented, “It’s a very monotonous job; the kids mess it up and we clean it up. At night it gets very lonely. But during the day it’s really a most lively and exciting job.” 100 People Faculty Cafeteria Staff — left to right: M. Labriola. M. O’Leary. F. Kasper, L. Horishny, A. Janos. J. Tentas. A.

People Faculty 101 ■ Although Things Change, They Still Remain the Same Thousands of students have passed through the Farmingdale school system since John McLennan came to this district twenty-five years ago. For eighteen of those years he has acted as principal of the high school, and during that time both the students and their interpre- tation of his role as principal have changed a great deal. For McLennan, dealing with those changes successfully has been the most meaning- ful part of his career. “I think my biggest contribution has been my flexibility,” McLennan explained. “Every three or four years the stu- dent body completely changes, but as long as I accept the changes, I can try and make every year great.” McLennan used to find himself dealing with large groups of students, who felt parades, demonstrations, and protests were worthwhile. Now he feels young people are more introverted. “I’m getting a lot of one-on-one. The students need individual help, and they come to me as individuals when they can’t get that help elsewhere.” One of the biggest needs of the students has been the opportunity to work, and McLennan is proud of having helped them with that need. The early dismissal system, enjoyed by so many students, has no parallel in other Long Island high schools. “We’ve created a community in which students go to school, do their work, get involved in activities, and work at jobs,” McLennan emphasized. The breakfast foods available in the cafeteria also help these active students, who have lit- tle time for regular meals. Unfortunately, most stu- dents graduate without get- ting to know their principal. This was not always the case, and McLennan feels it is hap- pening now because of changes in his job caused by the union and administra- tion. “I used to be able to make decisions without con- sulting anyone,” McLennan commented, “and students felt my direct influence. Now my authority is diminished, but I still have the same responsibilities. It means [I deal with the students less] personally; 1 get to attend] less student activities.’! Another reason for the] decline in student-principal] interactions, however, is that] the students aren’t inter- ested. It bothers me that a lot of the students don’t want to know me,” McLennanj admitted, “but I realize they; are each into their own bag.” I Although many things have changed over the last twenty- five years, McLennan’s feel- ing for students has remained I the same. “I’m very comfort- able with students. They’re young, and their mistakes | don’t bother me; 1 know they’re all still learning.” The traditional cap and gown Chef John McLennan prepares attire fits the occasion at graduation. his dinner.

Could You Tell Me Where ...? It’s a new year, a new building and so many new faces. What confusion passes through the minds of the freshmen and sophomores on their first day of high school. “Which direction is ...?” is so often heard the first few days of school, but is this a safe question to ask a senior? Many newcomers to the maze of hall- ways rely on themselves, a teacher, or a good friend to help them find the way. As in the case of Hyman Buchwald, freshman, “I looked for my brother, Benjamin, an eleventh grader,” he admitted. Along with trying to find the class- rooms, one must also adjust to a bigger school where he’s no longer the oldest, but rather the youngest in an age group. Although the opinion varies, some felt as Jennifer Morris, sophomore, did, “It really wasn’t that hard ’cause the people are nice.” With the High School changing back to a four year program, half the fresh- men of the class of ’84 moved up. “It was easy, I got used to it fast,” said Kathy Hughes, freshman, “and I feel more like an adult.” Coming to a new place with older stu- dents may also have a good effect on the 14 and 15 year olds. “I act more like an adult,” commented freshman Charlene Clark. Many students feel that they haven’t changed, but enjoy the new free- doms being a high school student holds. Sophomore Larry Schor stated, “The kids are more mature.” “There are no food fights,” added an anonymous soph- omore. With time, the freshman and sopho- more classes were absorbed into the mainstream of the high school. In preparation for the purchasing of their class rings, the sophomores could be seen selling Merri-Bells and chocolate candy, while freshmen adapted to the freedom that the Commons provided. As proof of the cyclic nature of high school systems, June transformed the freshmen into sophomores, and the sophomores into juniors. Yet, without a doubt, next September will bring new people echoing the question, “Excuse me, could you tell me where As freshmen and sophomores, assistance is often required of guidance counselors. Miss Dorothy Whit- ley speaks to a student in her office. 104 Freshmen Sophomores A bench in the Commons is a good meeting place for freshmen. A group of students find time to sit and talk while eating. Freshmen Sophomores 105 A tradition for juniors is to have their class rings turned the number of tiros as their year of graduation. Katy Borosso continues this tradition by turning Linda Guercio’s ring. Term papers are one of the assignments all juniors have to deal with. School football games serve as a fundraiser as Jacquie Mosca, Vicki DeSimone and Tina Strubel sell food for the junior class. Junior class secretary Sandy Wall and treasurer Cathy Owens choose a stone for their class rings. 106 Juniors Two Down — One to Go What’s a six letter word that stands for both pleasures and problems? How about J-U-N-I-O-R! The inconven- iences, SAT’s, mandatory terms papers, ' and not being able to drive, are con- trasted with the prom, shiny new class rings, and the eager expectations of becoming a senior. O.K., so you can’t drive, that’s all right; you had plenty of senior friends who could. But wasn’t it a pain to always phone and ask, “Would you mind pick- ing me up?” John Romanelli, junior, - noted, “It’s only fun when your date has a car.” Unfortunately, there were no school functions to attend with dates. The class of ’82 exhibited the same apathy that marked the other classes, and helped end the tradition of the Inaugural Ball. Junior class officer Sandy Wall, explained, “WTe really tried to get every- one involved for a successful Inaugural Ball, and later, for a Snow Ball, but not enough people cared enough to buy tick- ets.” Aside from these instances of disinter- est, however, the junior class was a spir- ited group, enjoying the special treats of their year. “Now I finally have my ring,” Josephine Romano, junior exclaimed, “and I am really happy.” Of course the best event was the prom. “It’s a fringe benefit of being a junior,” Kathy Magee, junior observed. “It’s fun, and it’s strange to see everyone dressed up and not in jeans.” There were more responsibilities, more challenges, and more headaches, but the juniors found there were plenty of new and exciting experiences to bal- ance the difficulties, and to make this year worth remembering. One of the benefits of being a junior is having early dismissal. Carol Cuniff and Leanne Piccola chat while waiting for the 1:15 bus. The PSAT’s characterize the fall semester for juniors and the SAT’s are a big part of the spring term.

This was the moment at last. Three years of work and activities preceded this day, and each senior had plenty of fond memories, including everything from dress down day, to the Senior Banquet, to hanging around in the Commons. The mixea feelings of the senior class were expressed by Sue Dam- ato: ‘‘I would make the days shorter and vacations longer,” and Robert Rosmini who felt that, “a fun time in school will always stand out in my mind.” The class of ’81 is comprised of a vari- ety of individuals. Twenty-two of them are twins, but each of the 800 seniors is unique in some way. Senior year is a starting block for future careers. Some seniors are heading towards the armed forces, others towards the business world and most to college. Yet there is one strong unifying force; their alma mater F.H.S.

West Sussex Camp became the expe- rience for four seniors when 2,000 Girl Guides, Girl Scouts, and Boy Scouts met in Ardingly, England last July. The trip’s impact was expressed by Mary Sotis, “We learned how to forget the dis- agreements of our countries, and for 8 days lived peacefully with people from 29 different countries.” The girls’ adventures ranged from playing squash to parascending into a field of sheep, to making many lasting friends. Continu- ing on, they toured London and Switzer- land. What’s so breathtaking about Switzerland is that from a distance the scenery looks like a painted picture, but when you are standing on the Alps, you have to pinch yourself to know you’re there,” exclaimed Lorraine Landahl. Nineteen fortunate students combed England and France this past Easter on a tour organized by Ken Ulric. France excited Mike and Pat Buckley as they paraded down the Champs Elysees and through the Arc di Triumph. The high point of France for most students was their party with French rugby players lodged in the same FIAP as they were. “It was great, I got a chance to use my French,” Pat Buckley stated. Such sights as Notre Dame, the Eiffel Tower, Windsor Castle and the Tower of Lon- don came to life. By visiting London, at one of “punk’s peaks,” one couldn’t help but notice the outlandish styles of orange and green hair, leopard-skin pants and safety pin earrings. “The trip was an experience I’ll never forget,” commented Betty Ann Herte. “The first question they asked us was, ‘Who shot J.R.?’ ” admitted Barbara Hayes, but the first thing the tourists learned was — not napkins, they call them serviettes. The Adleboden countryside in Switzerland gives Jennifer Logan. Stephanie Kaufmann, Susan Dinda. Barbara Hayes. Mary Sotis. and Lor- raine Landahl a chance to climh a few mountains.

This year’s valedictorian, Kathy Palmer and salutatorian Laura Lueck have averages within one tenth of a point of each other, but it’s hard work and perseverance that brought them to this point, not cut-throat competition. Kathryn Palmer is an avid Bal- let and music fan. She has been dancing classical ballet for 12 years, traveling into the city for lessons. Her future plans, however, take her to Brown or Harvard’s premedical programs. “I volun- teered this summer at Mid Island Hospital to see if I could take hos- pital life. It made me even more interested in medicine,” she stated. College life appeals to Kathy as she is looking forward to meeting new people. Salutatorian Laura Lueck and Valedictorian Kathy Future doctors run in the head Palmer share a seat with the school lion found in the Com- of the class as Laura Lueck, saluta- mons. At the Top torian is also pursuing a medical career. “I’m thinking about the six- year medical programs, so I applied to Brown, Union and a few others,” Laura commented. In preparation for her future career, Laura is a member of the Medical Explorer Post at Mid Island Hospital. Some of Laura’s free time is donated to the United Pres- byterian Nursing Home. “Many of the elderly just like to have someone to talk to or just read to them,” Laura admitted. Once a week, Laura can be found at the West Hempstead Ele- mentary School, assisting the slow learners classes. Reading skills are taught, then as an alternate activity, Laura tapes stories and writes corre- sponding worksheets. “It’s enjoyable and rewarding to work with younger kids,” she added. Obviously, it takes not only just high grades but also a well-rounded person to succeed in school. Kathy summed it up by saying, “We’re all just trying to do our best.” Rich Citti Lisa Ciuzio Michael Clare Russell Cohen Maria Colatutto Kevin Colquhoun Patricia Condit John Conneely Colleen Connelly John Connolly Kelly Ann Connors John Considine Lynn Constandy Leanne Contarino Alphonse Corrente 116 Seniors Cit Cor Louis Corrente Warren Corrigan Billy Corwin James Coscette Cathy Cosentino Gabrielle Cotsifas Lawrence Crossley Jeffrey Cucinotta Susan Damato Richard Dambra Belinda D’Angelis Chris Darling Sharie Davidson Ariel Daza Suzanne DeAlto John de la Bastide Barbara Della Pietra Patrice Deller John Dellis Gerard Dello Iacono CITTI, RICH 14 Poppy Dr. Massapequa Park: J.V.

This goes for clothes, music, and hobbies, but it also applies to people’s thoughts about their country and the world. Seniors today are forming opinions on problems that are unique to their age, such as the Iranian Crisis, nuclear energy, and a possible draft. Seniors’ feelings toward the Iranians are very hostile. “Blow them up!” exclaimed Peggy Koehne. Joe Cascio complained, “The U.S. is supposed to be a strong country, why don’t we show other countries our strength?” Fear of what could happen both now and in the future causes many seniors to protest against nuclear energy. “1 think we should get rid of nuclear energy because eventually it will kill us all,” Pat Rohrer declared. Because of the Iranian situation and hostilities with the Soviet Union, a draft registration was issued in September, 1980, and this too aroused various reac- tions. “Canada, here I come,” Steve Weinberg predicted. Yet other seniors agreed with Larry Mascillo, “We’re very lucky to have a country like ours and I think we should defend it.” Mary Beth Egerter Douglas Eichenlaub Robert Elliott Howard Eng Gerard Engstrom Karen Enrico Ruth Erickson Richard Erler James Esposito Deborah Fales Michael Fallon Paul Faria 120 Seniors Ege Far EGERTER, MARY BETH 135 N.

Mas sa pequa The scene is set for a picture by the photogra- pher. Smile! Whether it’s the Commons, class- rooms, or hallways, everywhere you look students are beginning to dress oddly. Some girls gracefully stride down the corridors in colorful clothes, while oth- ers look rather awkward as they struggle to climb the stairs in their new five inch heels. The boys appear very handsome with suit jackets, vests and ties, but the effect is ruined because they are also wearing patched jeans and green sneak- ers. Could this be a new fashion? No, a new trend is not on its way in. It is an annual event — senior pictures. On appointed days, boys don ties and girls smile brightly for the pictures which will commemorate their final year of high school. Bright and early throughout senior portrait week, photographers snapped and clicked until some three thousand pictures were taken. If that wasn’t enough, one month later the process was repeated on a smaller scale for retakes. When seniors were asked whether they felt inconvenienced by the dress code, most said no. Kathy Granville, senior, replied, “1 didn’t mind getting dressed up because I feel it reflects your personality and how you feel about yourself.” John Calabro, senior, added, “No, I didn’t feel funny because I don’t mind getting dressed up.” He noted, though, that he didn’t have to purchase a new suit for the occasion, which some boys had to do. On the other hand, some seniors were noticed huddling behind locker doors, quickly slipping tie and jacket over everyday jeans and a shirt, only to rip them off after the camera’s click. So each year when you start noticing those suits and unusual outfits, have no fear. It’s only senior portrait time.

Mimi is a vivacious girl and a perfect choice for an exchange student. When iomeone asks her about the Swedish school system, she’ll just whip out a piece of paper and diagram the whole process from basic school to gymnasium to college. Since Mimi arrived here, she’s visited Pennsylvania, New York City and Washington, D.C. with the Humanities lasses. “Manhattan is so alive, some- thing is always going on with all these people, cars, and buildings,” she exclaimed. When asked where in her country she would take a guest, Mimi’s national pride shone forth; “All over. Sweden is beautiful.” Back home some of her favorite activities included backpacking and canoeing. “I love to be outside,” Mimi added. New foods, new friends, and new adventures such as rollerskating will all be fond memories to be taken back to Sweden. And we will have fond memo- ries of a charming, friendly girl who wanted to be called Mimi.

KAREN 20 Hitchcock, La., Farmingdale 132 Seniors Kue Les Click! On goes the radio. Before the car even begins to move, the music is blaring out of the dashboard speakers. Music is being listened to more than ever, even with all the television sets around. Wherever a group of teenagers are, music can be found being played out of boxes, on car radios, or on home ster- eos. Practically every senior has musical equipment of some sort. A few students not only listen to music but also play an instrument and write their own songs. Some seniors such as Lynne Fiedler feel that, “Music is Lie most important part of my life.” Many seniors also look up to musicians, are inspired by them, and a few would like to change places with them. Senior Robert Luisi stated, “I was inspired by Jimi Hendrix and would like to make it being a musician.” The music that can usually be heard coming out of stereo systems is rock-n- roll. Rock, which includes Punk, New Wave, Acid Rock, Southern Rock, and the softer mellow music has the biggest teenage audience. Disco and jazz can also be heard, but less frequently. Some popular groups and performers are Neil Young, Yes, Led Zeppelin, The Stones, and The Who. The music indus- try makes billions of dollars from teen- agers buying albums, posters, T-shirts, and concert tickets for these groups, and it is certain these profits won’t diminish in the near future. For although the car may come to a halt and the radio shut off, in the house another will go on immediately and the music will con- tinue.

Seniors. Mar Mas 135 Where Are Your Values? “Dear Abby influenced me,” A1 Cor- rente, senior, commented, when asked for the source of his moral opinions. However, most students felt that their parents or friends influenced their opin- ions most. Friends and family members can often make people discover opinions or ideas they never would have thought of. Eileen Nolan, senior, stated, “With- out a doubt, my family has been my prime moral influence. My parents are very moral people — they have shown me how to appreciate the goodness in others.” The question of what is valued trig- gered responses that varied greatly. While some students consider material things to be important, others consider people and their qualities to be more significant. Derrick Penn, senior, felt, “In my life, dignity, loyalty, and images are what I value most.” Of course, there are some material items which students place tremendous importance on, but some of these are for sentimental rea- sons. “I value my teddy bear,” Susan Urban, senior, admitted. For some students, religion provides security and a sense of purpose. Chris- tine Austen, senior, rated, “God’s my guiding light and only true friend.” Prayer helps some students to feel bet- ter about themselves and their lives; it is an aspect of faith. However, not all stu- dents get this satisfaction from religion. Diane Vetere, said, “I don’t believe there is a God. If there were, He would be helping in some way to cure all the bad in the country.” Students also expressed concern about the state of the family. Frank Schuf, junior, stated, “The present con- dition of the family unit is too easy. Par- ents don’t care about their kids and just want to be left alone.” Despite the con- cern that the family unit is no longer close knit, or perhaps because of it, most students look forward to raising a fam- ily. They hope to incorporate what they have learned from their upbringing, making the lives of their children a little easier. The area behind the pool is a prime hangout for many students.

Lives are lost in meaningless power struggles. What a waste of human lives.” — Mary Myrato 140 Seniors Nor Par Newcomer, Rhonda Downing, sings the female lead in the Playcrafter’s fall production of The Music Man. That Voice! Tension and wonderment pervaded the auditorium as tryouts were held for leads in The Music Man. Amidst the nervous battering sud- denly could be heard a beau- tiful soprano voice. At this point, there was little doubt in most minds who would be in strong contention to play Marian the Librarian. There was one important question, though, left to be answered — who was she? Rhonda Downing was the talented senior, thrust in- to unfamiliar surroundings when she moved from Deca- tor. Illinois, to Farmingdale. “When I found out I was moving, I was worried if I would be accepted here. Peo- ple had told me how unfriendly New Yorkers were, but when I started school, everyone was so nice and the teachers made me feel more comfortable,” Rhonda commented. Luckily for Rhonda, she came at an opportune time for her. Having experience on the stage back in Illinois, she decided to audition for The Music Man. To everyone’s amazement, this unknown girl had a fabulous voice and received the lead in the show. “When I lived in Illinois, I always sang in my church and people told me I had a good voice, but I never had a lead before. I was totally sur- prised,” she explained. Being in the Playcrafters was a good experience for Rhonda. It enabled her to form new and lasting friend- ships and best of all, made her feel more at home. “So far, being in the play has been the best part of moving. I made so many good friends, and the feeling I got when I heard the applause made me feel very proud of what I was doing,” Rhonda stated. To hear her great voice one might assume that a singing career lies ahead, but Rhonda is contemplating becoming a legal secretary, much to the disappointment of her fans. Only time will tell. Maybe someday in the future some of us will he able to say, “I knew her when ...” NORRIS, RAYMOND 210 Birch Ave., Farming dale: AVA 10 Green and White Shop 10 AVA 12 NOTO. JOSEPH 39 Spruce St., S.

Normally twins occur once in every 88 births, yet in the senior class one in every 36 births produced twins. Being a twin is two-sided, when you’re young and dress alike, it’s cute. You do always have someone to talk to, but what about mistaken identity? “Being mistaken for Rosie can be annoying, especially when people do it on pur- pose,’’ commented Mary Zip- per. “After 17 years I’m used to it,” added Rosie. Between siblings there is a normal competition, but this can be magnified with twins. Tony Perettine stated, “Michael and I get along alright, but we do fight.’’ Yet Barbara and Regina Koprow- ski stated, “We are very close.” W’hat’s important to the twins though is that they’ll always have someone close in age. Problems can arise from the pressure twins feel in not being recognized as individu- als. “No, I don’t think we look at all alike,” Maria Kotak stated. “People tend to think that you are just one person split in half,” com- plained Donna Cassidy. The important thing to remember is even though they might look alike, or join the same activities, each twin is an individual, and no one’s dou- ble.

Sotis For Outstanding Leadership . . . Living incognito as students, paper- boys, and Key Club presidents are some four million boys nationwide who on designated weekdays don uniforms, travel to meetings and are transformed into — Boy Scouts. Boy Scouting in recent years has become a “hidden” organization that gains minimal recogni- tion. For those scouts who’ve reached the top, though, recognition is due. Eagle Scout is an honorary title awarded to those Boy Scouts, who have moved through the ranks, from scout to eagle, earned 21 merit badges, and per- formed an original service project. The merit badges, ranging from basketry to personal management, give the scouts projects and ways to broaden their areas of interest. When asked what scouting had taught him, John Driscoll, senior, quickly ran down a list of acquired skills which included, first aid, cooking, sur- vival in the outdoors, public speaking and numerous interviews that prepared me for college.” Leadership has played a major role in scouting, especially in working towards the title of Eagle Scout. As the senior members of their troops, much responsi- bility is placed on these scouts in run- ning meetings, planning camping trips and organizing service projects. Service projects not only entail creating the pro- ject, but organizing the younger scouts successfully. The position of senior patrol leader has most often been held by those scouts working towards the rank of eagle, and therefore meant hours of work for Paul Romanelli, senior, as he planned the project of cleaning the tri- angular plot of land at the end of Main Street before park construction could begin. Doug Eichenlaub, senior, recalls a three day district camporee in which his troop accompanied a handicapped scout troop. “It was educational,” confessed Eichenlaub, “we were able to see what the daily life of handicapped people is Since scouting includes such a differ- ence in ages ranging from 12 through 18, the senior scouts can lose interest in the troop before the new members ever experience what scouting is all about. “1 really have a good time with the younger kids,” Driscoll admitted. “The kids often ask for projects to help them move up through the ranks, and I like being able to offer suggestions.” There were times, though, especially in junior high school, when the urge to quit scouting because of peer pressure, and lack of interest almost won out. As Romanelli put it, “You finally realize While camping along the St. Lawrence River, this past August. Eagle Scout. John Driscoll, and the Boy Scouts of troop 261 dis- play their catch proudly. that you like what you’re doing, and the good experiences plus good memories make it worthwhile.” Sim Sot 149 Carolyn D.

For Jim Lavelle and 39 other stu- dents, chick embryos, microdissection, frisbee and fun come to mind. As one of the two thousand nation- wide recipients of this scholarship, Jim was given the opportunity to complete a five-week biochemistry program last summer. He attended the Loomis Chaf- fee Preparatory High School in Con- necticut, complete with its own farm, research facilities, dorms and pictur- esque grounds. “It is situated right on the banks of the Connecticut and Farm- ington Rivers,” Jim pointed out. Regardless of the beautiful, distracting surroundings, the 40 students were quickly put to work. They greeted us with a 1,100 page book and a 113 page lab manual,” Jim snickered. A typical day consisted of lec- tures, lab and research work. Probably the most fascinating aspect of the pro- gram was the students' research. Jim Frisbee and Fun and two lab partners selected a study of the nerve receptors in the heart tissue of a chick embryo. Microdissection techni- ques were employed and numerous hours were spent using the microscope and referring to the text. Their findings proved the right side of the heart more sensitive because of the presence of more nerve receptors. A 20 page paper, complete with graphs, and a half hour presentation completed the five weeks of study. Although the workload was heavy, there was still time to enjoy the summer with trips to the beach in Rhode Island and lots of fp'sbee and tennis. Even though Loomis Chaffee is a high school, the five weeks were like a taste of college life. Also the experience Jim gained will be helpful when applying to colleges. Jim will pursue a science career at Princeton University this September, so for some people spending one’s summer under a microscope with chick embryos can pay off. The summer science experiences of Jimmy Lavelle seem far away as he proof reads copy for the yearbook.

Massapequa Seniors Yab Zur 155 Revelers AS ven with free periods, athletic competitions, and extracur- ricular clubs, nine months of the daily school routine can become monotonous. The concerts, flower sales, holiday feasts, and plays provide a channel for the energies of students and faculty alike, and are welcomed as an enjoyable change. Not every event involves the entire school, and not all students choose to participate even when they can, but those who do, find the experiences worth their while. Whether they’re dressing up for the prom, down for Dress Down Day, or performing in front of their peers, these students are keeping alive traditional school events which often stand out as the high lights of the school year Revelers 157 Walt Disney Productions, 1980 Christ- mas is a time for everyone to share their holi- day spirit with others, and for some this time came early. On Friday, December 19, highly respectable members of the National Honor Soci- ety and Varsity Leaders Club were transformed into elves. They dressed up to a Christmas cheer to the ren at their Headstart Party. “It was so much fun to see their faces light up, sen- ior Rob Manfredi confided. This spirit grew over the weekend until the holiday feeling of cheer was apparent everywhere. By Tuesday, no Not believing it’s all her’s, a smile of gratitude spreads across a little girl's face. With guitar, cap, and serious expression, Mr. Gelbman plays for charity. 158 Christmas Events one could wait for sixth period to end, when classes would stop and the festivities in the Commons would begin. “You could listen to the music or just sit and talk,” Tom McCloskey, junior, recalled. “It was a chance to share good times with friends.” The concert band appeared first, and provided the crowd with seasonal music. The Madrigals followed soon after, and their comic num- bers gave everyone a laugh. “We had a lot of fun perform- ing,” Steve Hoffman, senior, enthused. Next it was the Dalerettes turn, and their routine delighted students and teachers in the audience. The jazz band performed some lively tunes while the teacher's band, The Rhythm Dukes, played in the audito- rium. Their performance was for charity; the 25 cents a head admission charge went toward the Italian Earth- quake Relief. “I thought it really nice that they should help other people, especially around the Christmas sea- son,” Kathy Granville, senior, commented. By the time students left school, they were filled with the holiday spirit and feelings of good cheer, and were in the perfect frame of mind to enjoy their vacations.

Some spend months preparing for it, so that others might enjoy themselves on a hot Satur- day. The enthusiasm of the children is evident from their smiling faces. It is an event in which the whole community gets involved, and the high school students are no excep- tion. Their presence at the annual Hardscrabble Fair could be seen and heard all day. The Hardscrabble Fair was held on May 10, 1980, and once again, it was a tremen- dous event. There was a huge selection of goods to try, as well as an incredible variety of food. Homemade cakes and cookies, hot dogs, ham- burgers and soda, plus offer- ings from the town’s restau- rants, tempted visitors no matter where they looked. A few school clubs had booths at the fair, and after selling green and white bal- loons all day, the Dalerettes performed for an admiring crowd in the late afternoon. Guidance counselor, Mr. Glas- cott, walks through the crowd searching for his son. New Vintage, a student formed band, has a mellow sound. There were also student bands performing at various stands, and plenty of high school students could be seen walking up and down Main Street and exploring the green. Perhaps the one disap- pointing aspect of the fair was the decline in the parade. Terry Nenze, senior, explained, “The parade was good a few years back, but now it passes so quickly you could miss it if you sneezed.” Yet although one part of the fair may be dying, the rest was in full swing. Of course, with so little of the student body actually liv- ing in Farmingdale Village, it is natural that those from North Massapequa and other areas don’t make a big effort to get to the fair. Sue Weston, senior, commented, “I never had a way of getting there, and I wasn’t that interested anyway.” Most students who do visit the Hardscrabble Fair, however, can under- stand why it is a tradition in Farmingdale, and try to go back for at least a little while the next year. Hardscrabble Fair 161 “Longer” provided the perfect mellow feeling for dancing. John Naslonski and Tammy Angwin share a moment of solitude before joining the other couples. The annual prom was held on May 29, 1980, at the Huntington Townhouse. Be- fore the event, there were many decisions that had to be made by both the class as a whole and individual stu- dents. One of the major decisions was to choose a theme for the prom. Dittos were handed out to the students, asking A pre-dinner Conversation is enjoyed by Elizabeth Hall, Charles May, Karen Kenny, and Mike Sim- kus. 162 Prom A Night of Dance and Romance them to decide, but very few bothered to answer the ques- tionnaire. Eventually, the class officers chose “We’ve Got Tonight” by Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band. But later, the song “Longer” by Dan Fogelburg came out. Almost immediately peti- tions were sent to the officers requesting a change in the theme. Senior class officer. Liz Hall, explained, “Popular rule won out so we changed the theme.” Much care was taken in planning the attire for the evening. During the weeks before the prom, dress shops were filled with girls trying to find a gown that wouldn’t be like everyone else’s. Mean- while, the guys packed the tuxedo shops that offered student discounts. “I thought getting ready was the best part of the prom because it’s not often that you can get all dressed up,” confided Karen O’Brien, senior. Despite the high price, most students who attended had a good time. One of the highlights of the evening was when prom queen Joanne Quince and her date Mitch Singer danced to the Jr. Class theme “Longer.” The prom ended at one, but many students extended the evening at the beach or at bars and discos. Karen Kenny, senior, confided, “I was very happy that night, and it will be a night that I’ll always remember.” Couples arrived at the Hunting- ton Town House ready for a night of dancing and entertainment. There was a serious side to the prom, the atmosphere brought cou- ples closer together. Prom 163 a JO@raO, G3©D COD 164 Winter Concert T JL hree bands, two cho- ruses, and one orchestra hit the stage for the annual holi- day concert on December 17. It was an evening filled with joyful music, applause, and good humor. Senior Maria Ferraroni revealed, “I usually go to the concerts because I’m ordered to, but I’m glad I went. I really enjoyed this „„„ � � one. This concert was certainly different. All the musical ensembles were bigger and better than ever. “The band was a lot better because we were really into the spirit of things. We wanted to play in the concert; we didn’t play just because of tradition,” explained James Schmitt, sophomore. Although music without lyrics is hard to imagine at a school concert, a few short years ago the chorus seemed to be on the endangered spec- ies list. However, this year they were present in numbers as well as in spirit. A renewed and revitalized chorus worked for weeks on their thoroughly professional pres- entation, which was enhanced by new choral out- fits. A special highlight of the evening was their rendition of P.D.Q. Bach’s humorous “My Bonnie Lass, She Smelleth.” The Chorus increased in both number and caliber. The orchestra was another group which approached this concert with new spirit and enthusiasm. “We played bet- ter than we ever have, and the music we performed was more mellow than it’s been in the past,” remarked Jeanine Ingrassia, sophomore. “I enjoyed the concert tre- mendously. Everything was great. Even the programs were better,” stated Elyse DeMayo, sophomore. The program not only listed the songs played but told some- thing about each number and each soloist, adding just another nice touch to a pleas- ant evening of holiday enter-, tainment.

Winter Concert 165 School Colors Shine Brightly The nineteen members of the Varsity Leaders Club were up early that morning, eating donuts and joking around while they sprayed hundreds of carnations green. When the rest of the students arrived, the VLC members were ready, each with a bunch of fifty carnations, continuing the nine year tra- dition of Green and White Day There was a slight change in the tradition this year, for the carnations were sold the Friday before the first home football game, rather than before the Syosset game. The tremendous rivalry that once existed with Syosset is gone, but the event that grew out of it still served as a means of raising school spirit. 2000 carnations were sold, at 35 cents each or three for a dollar. The VLC got money for its treasury, and the stu- dents got real pleasure from the flowers. Andrew DeTroia, sophomore, related, “I like the idea of giving carnations to make some girls feel good.” Just how successful Green and White Day is in raising school spirit is unclear, but it is still popular with both the VLC members and their cus- tomers. ‘‘1 think more people should get involved,” Paul Romanelli, senior, said, “but it is really a lot of fun.” Bunches of flowers are arranged before the sale by Brendan Wilcox and Steve Mormino.

Doug McKeever, senior, explained, “Dress down day is a chance to express your views on what you like or to ridicule • K y o way, not me! I’m not going X to dress up and look like a 1 jerk.” This sentiment was typical of a few seniors on dress down day, but the majority of the senior class went all out to get involved in the event, and they had a good time while the non- participants stood around watching. Christa Spreizer, senior, emphasized, “It’s a privilege that belongs only to the seniors and they should appreci- ate it.” When all the costumed seniors BettyAnne Herte, Monica Hardiman Sandy Resnick Mike Buckley, Jeff Zend, Russ Cohen, Tony Gam bino 168 Dress Down Day A Mixture of Fantasy and Reality McKeever, John Dellis what you don’t like.” After prizes were given out, the seniors paraded down Woodward Parkway, accompanied by the Pep Band, also costumed.

Once that was over, the seniors had the opportunity to take the rest of the day off, and enjoy Halloween to the fullest. Dress Down Day 169 1 R. Soluri, E. Fitzpatrick 2 J. Quince, K. Pelligrino, J.

All morning students kept walking in with cakes, pies, breads, and Anally turkeys! Everyone was hungry, and eagerly awaiting the start of the tenth annual Alternate School Thanksgiving Feast on November 26, 1980. Due to the help of many people, the traditional feast was once again successful. “1 think the feast was really good because it’s the only time the whole group is really unified,” Sue Dick, senior, commented. The feast began when Mr. McLennan picked a winner from the drawing for a macrame planthanger and an afghan. The drawing was held in order to raise money for the adopt-a-family’s win- ter needs. Tables were set up for the tremendous supply of food. Five turkeys were brought in, but only four made it to the feast. The Afth turkey blew up in the oven, and was so badly burned it was inedible. The remaining turkeys were supplemented by salads, breads, potatoes, baked ziti, lasagne, brownies, cakes, . With Food pumpkin and apple pies, and rice pudding. “The feast was so fattening,” Denise Batura, senior, complained. Tom Brown, senior, added, “It was a wonderful experience for my stomach.” For entertainment, a group of Alternate School alumni played guitars, banjos, and mandolins, and people started dancing and clapping to the music. “It was nice get- ting together with friends to eat and sing,” mused Barbara Rosenberg, senior. When the guests left, the preformed committees got to work cleaning up. Stacks of dirty pots, pans, and dishes cluttered the sink. The Aoors were swept, and leftovers packed up to be distributed to needy families. Around 4:30 everyone stopped what they were doing and joined Rob Nockowitz, Alan Rosen- berg, and Sandy Resnick for a sing in. There was a close feeling between old and new friends.

The Music Man was to be my third show at the high school but that “opening night feel- ing never changes. As I walk through the darkened hall- ways, 1 get myself in the right frame of mind. My job for this show is a particularly rough one. One could say that I’m in charge of making peo- ple laugh. Although most people believe otherwise, I think it’s harder to make peo- ple laugh than anything else. The makeup we have to wear has a horrible odor but it always seems to make peo- ple more aware that we are no longer rehearsing. This time, we’re playing for keeps. As each of us goes through our backstage rituals, the crowd files expectantly into the auditorium. It’s this crowd that motivates us. My first entrance is a big one. I have to walk across the entire stage. As I walk out, the feeling is irresistible and I give in to the urge to look out at the audience. I can actu- ally see faces and somehow I pick out my family and friends. I say my first line and that’s when I lapse into a state of total concentration. At this point there’s only me and the audience. I have to make them believe that it’s not a student on the stage — it’s Marcellus Washburn, my character. I play my part and throughout the show any laughter at all, even a giggle, makes me try even harder. We know that the audience expects the type of profes- sionalism that the Playcraft- ers have displayed in the past, and this time I think we matched and even surpassed it. The feeling I have is unpar- alleled. It’s a combination of excitement, satisfaction, exhaustion, and curiosity. W'hat am I curious about? I’m wondering what the next show will be.

An agonizing look is present on Lynn Mazella’s face as her blood pressure is taken. When You Give, You Get Disasters, whether natural or man-made, are a part of the world in which we live. Earthquakes, poverty, and blood shortages inspired members of the student body to come to the assistance of those in need. Sweaty-palmed seniors with shaky knees lined up in the girls’ gym on December 16. They were waiting to donate a pint of blood in the annual blood drive, which was sponsored this year by the National Honor Society. After the first few students had given blood, and showed no signs of ill effects, the oth- ers on line began to relax. Jill Manning, senior, described her feelings about the experi- ence, “I was a little scared at first, but 1 was really sur- prised afterwards at how easy giving blood really is.” All of the students who donated blood did so volun- tarily. “When I found out that by donating one pint of blood 1 could save five lives, I signed up. 1 saw it not as an inconvenience but as an obli- gation,” Ann Marie Mans- field, senior, emphasized. Jeff Nord, senior, added, “I am donating, and 1 hope if some- thing ever happens to me and 1 need blood, someone will do the same.” Only seniors could give blood, but students of all grades could help in other ways. Members of the Alter- nate School rehearsed songs to prepare for December 18, when they went to Daleview Nursing Home to brighten up the holidays of the elderly residents. Nature has little respect for holiday spirit, and for the earthquake victims of South- ern Italy the holiday season was full of misery and despair. Linda Guercio, jun- ior, explained, “I think aid should be sent to help those people get over that terrible tragedy.” Apparently many other students felt the same way, for the Italian Earth- quake Relief, sponsored by the foreign language depart- ment, was very successful. Students sat at tables in the Commons collecting money while others carried cans around the school. $435 was raised and sent to Italy, where it was greatly needed and appreciated. The stu- dents who helped also bene- fited from the experi- ence, as Sandy Wall, junior, expressed. “It’s a wonderful feeling of pride and happi- ness, something you receive only when you’ve helped another person.” A nervous donator lies on the examining table. Charity Events 17 178 Member he athletes, journalists, performers, business leaders, and civil servants of tomorrow can be found in today’s high schools, but their particular talents are not always devel- oped in the classrooms. By becoming members in extracurricular activities, these students can explore their interests while spending time with their friends. From the Playcrafters, Paper Lion and Key Club, to the National Honor Society, Ski Club and Lab Squad, students can join organizations which require anything from a one day a month to a five day a week involvement. Membership in any of these clubs adds a special dimension to high school, and gives students experience in working with each other handling responsibility, and putting their hobbies to use, experiences which will help them stand out as individuals long after high school is over. Members 179 At the rear of a meeting, Eileen Nolan and Donna Cassano search through magazines for an idea for an Interact project.

Webster seemed to define Interact and Key Club as well, in his definition of serv- ice. Trying to help others, both clubs assisted their members in their quest to get involved with the commu- nity. Although its membership decreased from the previous year, the quality of Interact members improved with age. “It’s a service organization and has a good reputation,” admitted senior Donna Cas- sano. The relationship that had been established with the pediatric ward of Nassau Community Medical Center proved to be an ongoing activity this year. Club mem- bers decorated the whole floor for Halloween and made bilingual picture books for the Spanish-American chil- dren. “They are amused and learn,” stated Doris Brenner, Interact advisor. Their pro- i'ects kept them very busy, ut they gained much per- sonal satisfaction. Eileen Nolan, senior, explained, “By decorating the hospital and staging talent shows, we tried The bi-lingual books required the combined effort of Mrs. Bren- ner and Mimmi Friatrom. to make other people happy.” These noble intentions were also shared by Key Club members. “I got a feeling that I was helping somebody who needed it,” said senior Rob Palasciano about the fund raising part of Key Club. John Saladino, senior, explained, “I joined because it was a community oriented group.” One of the more active clubs, it was always busy with some project or another. Key Club had a Thanksgiving family drive and a candy fund drive, aside from pretzel sales and other fund raisers throughout the year. As brief breaks in the monotony, they also had a few parties with some of the money raised. “It was a time for us to get to know each other a little better,” stated Paul Romanelli, senior. “Most of the fund drives have been to help the community.” Serving the community and getting involved with it are the goals set for Interact and Key Club. Mrs. Brenner stated, “It was very impor- tant for people of that age to be interested and involved in what was happening outside of their lives.” The large group of students comprising the two clubs evidently felt the same.

W hat does everyone have at one time or another, which can be found almost everywhere and of which it seems no one ever has enough? Teenagers have come up with one solution to this riddle — part time jobs — but for school organiza- tions raising money has always been a problem. Everyone needs money for expenses and clubs are no exception. Fund drives took place constantly and there was always something to pur- chase on any given day. The Student Activities Council was in charge of organizing all of the sales. We tried to make sure that the students weren’t attacked from all sides with people wanting to sell them something,” vice- president Patti Hicks, junior explained. Pretzels, cakes, cookies, confections, carna- tions, and candles were only a part of the variety of items that students were approached with in order to support the work of numer- ous clubs and organizations. Calendars were sold by the marching band. “It's going to help us do the things we want to do,” said sophomore Serena Carter. Why do other students put in all of the time and effort necessary? John Saladino said, “We raise money for people that are less fortunate.” “It’s for peo- ple that don’t have a chance for themselves,” added Rob Palasciano, senior. Although cooperative, many did not want to sell the items at all. John Romanelli, junior, stated. “I hated selling things because it was too time con- suming.” Still, another stu- dent Jimmy Schmitt, sopho- more, participated solely because, I didn’t want to be the only who didn’t.” Whether or not students wanted to wheel and deal for their organization, sell they did! Although directed towards profit, helping the club itself and the commu- nity were the primary moti- vators. Tom Tomeo, junior, and member of the Key Club, explained, “Wherever help was needed, we tried to be there.” Raising funds became just another way groups could show that they cared. Junior Geralyn Martucci emphasized, Would I have bought ten boxes of candy myself, if I didn’t care?” Gregg Wildes organizes his box of candy before going out to sell. Fundraising 183 Social times are frequent as Diane DeTrano, Donna Cassidy, Belinda D’Angeles. .Jeanne Squires, and Lisa Scarpinato get together for a pleasant discussion. Members such as Donna Cassidy and Belinda D’Angeles often come to each other with their problems. 184 FBLA FSA More Than Meets the Eye A rose by any other name would smell as sweet, but calling it poison ivy might dampen its allure. Similarly, titles such as Future Secre- taries of America and Future Business Leaders of America tend to have little appeal to many students. Despite this, both organizations had a large number of members who found enjoyment in each other’s company, and the work they accomplished together. If one had attended a monthly Future Secretaries meeting, a group of girls typ- ing and taking shorthand would not have been seen. Instead, the girls were being enlightened by guest speak- ers, lecturing on topics such as women’s lib, nutrition, venereal disease, birth con- trol, women and media, sex- ual harassment and weight ' problems. “The club enabled one to be flexible and adjust to almost any future business career,” stated Mary Zim- merman, senior. “It was a big social group,” confided senior Lisa Scarpinato, “it was what secretaries do on breaks or after hours.” This included trips to the city, going out to dinner or to a play such as Pirates of Penzance. As they saw it, the group’s pur- pose was to make the girls well-informed women. w I like Future Business Leaders because it is a spe- cialized club for those only interested in business,” said president Jeff Zund, senior. The club’s interests were not solely business oriented. Sen- ior Citizens of Farmingdale, Inc., received much help, such as the fall clean-up pro- ject when members raked the yards of many senior'citizens. Most of their projects, though, were to raise money for the State Leadership Conference at the Concord Hotel during April. Pat Con- dit, senior, commented, “We went on a bus with students from another school. We learned to communicate — we had to.” Fringe benefits such as these made the organization all the more appealing. “I liked the club because of the knowledge and sense of accomplishment gained, and friendships made,” stated junior Mike Becker. One can’t judge a book by its cover nor a club by its name, as exhibited by Future Secretaries and Future Busi- ness Leaders. Activities such as trips to the city, and leaf raking festivals were some of the usual events that con- stantly took place. “We got needed experience as a result,” claimed junior Angelo Latona. The Teacher's dining cafeteria is very crowded with guests enjoying the holiday dinner. Belinda D'Angeles and Diane Trano work together as they social- ize. The work is not without fun and laughter, as Frank Marrazzo, Robert Palasciano and Adria DeMayo well know. Paper Lion advisor, Mr. LoMonico, compares Paper Lion with other newspapers during jour- nalism class. fjf By just reading The New York Times or browsing through an issue of Glamour, one can easily observe that a great deal of work went into their making. Members of the Paper Lion and Muse Media staffs could take pride in the fact that stu- dents observed the same work in the issues they pro- duced this year. Aside from the fact that Muse Media was only published twice, it had a vari- ety of characteristics that set it apart from other high school publications. Senior Frank Marrazzo explained. “Muse Media offered an alternative to the everyday affairs of the Paper Lion.” The staff collected stories from the student body, com- bined their skills, and came out with a magazine that they were proud of. “We also used photography and artwork,” said junior John Hasely. “Muse Media’s purpose was to give the students a taste of the Arts,” added edi- tor-in-chief Adria DeMayo, senior. In the students' eyes, they were successful in this attempt. The many ESSPA awards received for the previ- ous year’s issues also exhib- ited their accomplishment. We put out a very good mag- azine in the past years and 186 Muse Media Paper Lion can do it again, declared Steven Wolk, sophomore. Members of the Paper Lion staff were also proud of their publication. Patrick Buckley, senior, commented, “1 believe it covered the issues fully and objectively.” The members had the diffi- cult task of keeping on top of the events and then reporting on them to the students. Every school needs a news- paper to give the students and faculty news and to bring attention to outstanding stu- dents in this school; this paper did the job,” noted sen- ior Laurie DiPaola, business editor. Staff members all agreed that the undertaking was rewarding and well worth it in the end. Junior Larry Abuhoff, specialty editor, commented, It added some- thing to my life. Each publication had its own element of the school to cover in its literature, and was rightly special in its own way. The time and effort put into their making resulted in benefits for both the staffs and the student body. DiPaola thought “The staffs consisted of serious hard- working members who cared to put out the best publica- tions possible.” With one eye on her work and the Surrounded by papers, Julie other on the pencil she is reaching Ryan tries to complete a deadline, for, Brenda Sienkewicz is busy designing for Muse Media.

Dalerettes lead the half- time show.procession. Making the Spirit Last It was halftime, and out came the Dalerettes to enter- tain the crowds with their lively routine. Their perform- ance added a special dimen- sion to the football season, as did the music of the Pep Band, which could be heard throughout the games. Entertainment for the football games took up a good part of the year. Pep Band had to meet on its own free time while Dalerette rehears- als took place after school. On Thursdays they practiced with the marching band until four o’clock. “I loved per- forming with the marching band,” said junior Ondine Stettner. It was freezing out there, but it was fun.” All of this time was spent for a few cold Saturdays and the foot- ball fans' applause. Dress Down Day marked the last performance for the Formed inlo a small section, mem hers watch the game from the stands. Pep Band and they dressed up to the occasion. To the delight of Woodward Park- way students, the informal band went punk.” The out- fits created the perfect atmosphere for putting on the show,” stated junior Donna Vaughan. Everyone seemed pleased, as the group led the parade down and around the street. The Dalerettes still had a big season to go. Nassau County was impressed by their talent as they per- formed with the marching band at the Newsday Festi- val. Sophomore Penny Pan- teles stated, “Going to News- day was great! I liked helping the band.” Joining in the hol- iday spirit, they performed in the Commons on December 23 to the song “Jingle Bell Rock. But soon their atten- tions turned to the basketball games and competition; unfortunately they could only participate in the for- mer. “It was better that we chose basketball because everybody could participate. When we go into competition only some of us can go,” stated Andrea Bernstein, senior. The crowds, in addi- tion to the team, were happy with the decision. And just as the Hardscrabble Fair marked the approaching end of classes, it proved to be the Dalerettes last exhibition of the year too. The Dalerettes and Pep Band came through every time. From a Christmas show to football games, the per- formances were the result of much effort and time. But as illustrated by the applause, the work was evident and appreciated by their specta- tors. Pep Band Dalerettes t8t) DECA members no longer man- age the Green and White Shop. The talents of troupe members like Lauren Goldberg, Naomi Wein- stein, Sandy Kesnick, and Glenn Mann gave the World of Mime its fine reputation. Dearly Beloved: Gathered here today in our memory are clubs we have recently known and loved. Each served a long and meaningful life while it lasted. World of Mime always seemed to bring a smile to our faces, whatever the occasion. Quiet and simple, we shall always have a place for it in our hearts. And giving of their hearts also, were the dearly departed Future Nurses of America. Although out to get our blood, their services shall not be forgot- ten soon. And there were those who barely got their foot through the door of life, when it was closed upon them. We all had high hopes for the Student Sports Activities. (Our hearts go out to the only remaining relatives, Varsity Leaders Club and Girls Leaders Club, at this time.) Let us also, at this time, pause a moment in remembrance of those who have been parted from us during the recent past. The Historical Club and Future Home- makers as well as DECA are mentioned in our prayers; may they rest in peace. Yes, we must say goodbye, at least for now, to clubs we held most dear. They led productive lives but it soon became evident that the end had come. Never to be forgotten, we lay them to rest in our yearbook of memories, where they shall forever remain. The complex machine symbol- ized the enthusiastic Mime troupe. 190 Transient Clubs Donna Foh and Iris Camer were part of the 1979 Future Nurse’s Blood Drive.

It’s picture-taking time, and Freshman Class officers Linda Gen- naro, treasurer; Beth Heilman, presi- dent; Tara Heilman, vice-president, and Diane Martillo, secretary, rise to the occasion. Up and at The class officers were not going to let a student body, that in the past didn’t want to do much of anything, suc- ceed this year. Hoping for some involvement in their ac- tivities, they planned many meetings and fund drives. A problem shared by the Freshman and Sophomore Classes was that of building jup their treasuries. Since a percentage of the money rais- ed by each student went toward their class rings, the drives attracted a majority of the students. Merribell and popcorn sales, for example, were successful fundraisers. I The major event of the I junior year was the Prom. “We gave the kids a chance to voice their opinions, and ! tell us what they would like • to see at their prom,” stated Junior Class President Linda Guercio. This was the whole idea behind the Prom Com- ’em mittee. The place at which it was to be held and the invita- tions were among the deci- sions made. For the Senior Class, the main concern was their Senior Banquet. “In the past, all of the officers would work on the Inaugural Ball, but since that was canceled, we were concentrating on Senior Week, which included the banquet and trip,” explained Tom Gennaro, treasurer of the Senior Class. The Talent Show also proved to unite the senior class. Whether or not they wanted to, the students worked with their officers. Although the projects did not involve all of the students, they gave the more interested ones a voice in class affairs. The officers could truthfully say that they had fulfilled their duties when the year came to a close. The paperwork is done by Sophomore president Victor Chang and treasurer Fran Marcus. Secretary and vice-president of the Sophomore class, Corrine Bar- rett and Vicki Branston, join Mr. Glascott in checking class records. Class Officers 193 194 VLC GLC Leaders in Action Active people and active clubs went hand in hand, and the Varsity Leaders Club and Girls’ Leaders Club were prime examples. The two organizations kept their members busy, with numerous service activities in addition to their team sports. Any girl with two junior varsity letters or one varsity letter could apply for admit- tance in the GLC. Once ac- cepted, her homeroom became the gymnasium, where her day began with helping the gym teachers. Eileen Nolan, senior, remark- ed “The service side of GLC was what gave the members a sense of satisfaction.” Like many clubs, GLC joined in the Christmas spirit by help- ing a needy family. To fund this and other projects, the girls’ days often included candy sales among their other activities. VCL’s headstart program Christmas party enabled members to help the Na- tional Honor Society amuse less fortunate children. Although the party called for them to dress as elves, students were more ac- customed to seeing VLC faces behind a bunch of car- nations during their annual fundraiser, Green and White Day. Aimed at raising school spirit as well as money, this event was one of the most successful VLC projects. “The Varsity Leaders Club was involved in various fundraising activities and in community work,” Jimmy Romanelli, junior, explained. Naturally, a good deal of the members’ time was devoted to their more athletically- oriented activities. A volleyball game in which VLC and GLC played against each other demonstrated that the two clubs were centered around sports. Ann Marie Mansfield, senior, em- phasized, “My friends and I are in GLC to try to help im- prove our school’s athletic system.” However, this did not prevent them from reaching out to the communi- ty, and in one project or another, the VLC and GLC were always sure to be doing something. Before proceeding to class. Sue Ferrante and Ann Marie Mansfield stop to talk. The weekly meetings keep the members abreast of VLC’s activities.

The pre- sent Honor Society enroll- ment reached 110 members, while the Mathletes, with a membership of 12, doubled in size since last year. The growth of both of these clubs has had different effects upon them. The common ideology that revailed among Honor ociety officers was — we need less people, but those we accept must be more will- ing to get involved. The ad- ministration tended to agree that fewer but more faithful members would be a greater benefit to the club and the community. The faithful students tutored their underclassmen, participated in bake sales and conducted a blood drive as well, but their turnout was low. The group did their best in their service work, trying to uphold the Honor Society quality. The Mathletes, a non- service organization, tackled math problems from the ad- vanced geometry level to the limits of functions. When their club membership doubled, two teams of six people each were formed. The Mins and the Maxes competed separately, which enabled more members to participate than one large team would have,” stated junior Chris Hamilton. This was also the first year that there was need for a treasury, thanks to the club’s expan- sion. The reason for joining Mathletes hasn’t altered. “It’s a challenge,” confessed Beth Rosen, senior, ‘‘You definitely get satisfaction after solving a hard problem.” The increased quantity didn’t necessarily mean an improved quality. More students had the opportunity to contribute to the Honor Society, but few members ac- tually took advantage of it. On the other hand, Math League members were able to participate even more and took advantage of their situa- tion. Whether or not the in- crease in size was for the bet- ter, the two clubs tried to make the best of it. Math problems, as checked by Mrs. Colalucci, often involve intricacies. Competitors in Mathletes get to use skills learned and sharpened in class. Honor Society Math I-eague 197 Get Up Students with this philosophy were perfectly suited for Theatre Club and Ski Club. “High school life shouldn’t just be first to eighth period; it should be more than just eight periods a day. It means other things like going skiing or to a show, explained junior Tom Hofbauer. Excursions on Broadway and trips to the slopes, respectively, were organized and enjoyed by the members. Unless one’s family was ski-motivated, group trips had to be substituted for family ski trips. Terri Cloonan, junior, explained, “I try to go as often as I can because I love to ski.” Ski Clubs include pre-trip organizational meetings as well as the event. These meetings enable members to get to know each other, before they hit the slopes. The Ski Club solved the pro- blem of finding people who wished to ski, ana organizing the trip. Whether enjoying one or three-day trips, the members had fun while ski- ing to their hearts content on and Go snowy slopes. The Ski Club made the difference between dreaming about the trip and being there. More easily accessible was New York City, especially for Theatre Club members. “Living so close to N.Y.C., being able to visit Broadway is a privilege,” said Mike Febo, senior. Typically, it was hard for students to do anything alone when they couldn’t drive, but the organization provided the means to go to shows, such as Evita, and a Christmastime visit to Rockefeller Center. A night on Broadway proved more than enjoyable to anyone interested in joining the Theatre Club members. The itch to get up and go was relieved by the Theatre Club and Ski Club. The groups’ escapades were the responsible factor in their popularity, and resulted in eager members. Transporta- tion to places that would otherwise have been beyond their reach was made available to the students, who were more than happy to use it! Advisors Mr. Friedman and Mrs. Zaphiris discuss trip plans that seem to agree with everyone.

But was this all there was to life? To some students the answer was yes, but others discovered excitement and additional advantages through membership in out-of-school clubs. “You couldn’t have your whole life centered around school,” George Mauro, sophomore, noted. Groups such as Campus Life, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Triangle, DeMolay, and Explorers were able to fulfill students’ needs which school could not. Those who were captivated by the outdoors found scouts very suiting. Doug Eichenlaub, sophomore, pointed out, “You could learn about things that weren’t taught in school, like camping skills and first aid.” Youth groups such as United Synagogue Youth were organizations that provided an outlet for religious views, while the Ex- plorers aimed strictly at satisfying curious minds. A division such as the Medical Explorers could explore topics which students were interested in, but couldn’t get in school. Members of Campus Life had the valuable experience of sharing and discussing their problems and opinions with each other. “We learned more about other people and about ourselves,” commented Anthony Mauro, senior. Self- development was also a major part of Triangle and DeMolay, two community-oriented organizations. Athletic programs run by the community, and the churches as well, enabled the students to have a lot of fun, while also discovering hidden talent within themselves. The advantages in joining clubs outside of school were related to individual growth as well as enjoyment. “They gave a person a chance to grow and learn, Rich Dambra, senior, emphasized, “plus they were fun and were a release from the tensions so many students had to deal with.” Even those students who were very involved in school activities could find new areas of interest, and new outlets for their energy and talent in outside organizations.

The students weren’t in- terested in much of anything as a whole, and SAC was ready to fight for some involvement. The beginning of the school year marked a time of decision for the students. Would they join the apathetic majority or the small number that get involved in the school? Those students who chose the latter and became members of different clubs selected representatives that were collectively call- ed the General Assembly and worked with SAC of- ficers. Together they tried to enliven the student Results from the Sophomore Class Elections are slowly pro- cessed by officers Diane Molloy and Ray Linblad. body by planning dances and activities, but it was to no avail. “Nobody wanted to go to the dances,” stated Vice President Patti Hicks, junior. So the administration vetoed activities. Next SAC planned a school-wide fundraiser — a carnival which they hoped would publicize SAC. “The ninth and tenth graders didn’t even know who we were,” noted Treasurer Ray Linblad, senior. With this and their Italian Relief Fund Drive as ammunition, SAC sounded the battle call that marked a year of struggle. SAC’s struggle against the apathy that prevailed this year made only a small dent in changing attitudes. Presi- dent Diane Molloy, senior, explained one problem, “There’s nothing to get in- volved in.” SAC tried to remedy this, but the sides were unfairly unbalanced, and a stalemate proved the only outcome possible. Presiding over the General Assembly, Diane Molloy discusses plans for a Spring Carnival benefiting Cerebral Palsy. Art Awareness “Culture? How many peo- ple really understand what that means?” questioned Steve Hoffman, senior. Understand it or not, through the Student Art Gallery and the Jazz Lab students were made more aware of the arts. As two of the various cultural clubs in school, they have added to both their own and the stu- dent body’s appreciation of the arts. The Jazz Lab’s first under- taking was its performance in the Commons amid the Christmas activities. “Everyone seemed to enjoy it and we enjoyed making music,” admitted sophomore Mike Oxman. The latter half of the year was spent prepar- ing for the Spring Concert. Selections ranging from “Sing, Sing, Sing,” a Benny Goodman oldie, to “Saturday Night Fever” were part of the variety of music presented. Once a month, a change could be seen in the library as the artwork of S.A.G. Trombone players John Car- man and Jeff Riha perform during the Christmas celebration. members were unveiled. The urpose of the monthly ex- ibits was to share the art- work with the school. Debby Healy, sophomore and presi- dent of S.A.G., added, The students get recognition for their works when they’re ex- hibited.” In S.A.G., a group of ambitious sophomores began the year with visions of completing a wall mural pro- ject. In September preliminary sketches were made, and by January ad- ministrative approval and a place to begin was all that stood between the artists and the wall. Jazz Lab and Student Art Gallery tried to broaden students’ spectrums musical- ly and artistically. They were perfecting their talents and sharing them with others. Possibly after eyeing that mural or musing over the Jazz Lab’s rendition of a favorite oldie, the meaning of culture was a lot more defined.

Work Fun — All in One What were the character- istics of Playcrafters? They had the ability to find fun in almost anything, and the devotion and determination to make what they worked on come out great. Students from different grades and with different lifestyles, but having these same attributes, came together for all of the work and fun involved in The Music Man. The first step on the road to being a Playcrafter was the audition. “It got everybody friendly with each other; we were friends by the time peo- ple got parts,” noted senior Brenda Sienkiewicz. Learn- ing their lines, the songs, and dances was next on the agen- da but the long hours really began when they started run- ning through the show. These trying times, though, tended to foster a closeness between the members. “Being a member meant being part of a big family,” explained senior Diane O’Neill. Breaks and scenes where only a few people were needed provided the actors and actresses with free time during which they could do homework or sing, dance and just fool around. “We couldn’t be sane all of the time,” noted senior Steve Hoffman, “We needed an outlet.” After a lot of work, time and effort, many ner- vous and excited Playcrafters were ready for four public performances, after which they all went out to unwind. A large cast party after clos- ing night marked the end of the special Playcrafter experience. The members generally agreed that Playcrafters were in a class of their own. It took a special kind of student to get through all of the hard work involved in such a pro- duction. Senior Donna Ham- melman with a smile sum- marized, “We were all very good friends and had a good time together. By closing night we were really upset that it was all over.” But friendships and happy memories of their times together remained after the final curtain closing. Playcrafters 207 With all the time spent in rehearsals; pit and crew members found school became their Inventory is taken in the crew's storage room. HOME AWAY FROM HOME A large group of students found it difficult to stay in school for a full six hours, and managed to finish their classes early. On the other hand, students such as members of Stage Crew and Pit Band worked twice as long before leaving for home, and classes were just the beginning of a long day. The public was aware that the Playcrafters started rehearsals about two weeks after school started, but the Crew was there from Day One also. Bob Schultz, senior, commented, “We are here the same number of weeks, but in terms of hours we spend more time.” “The Crew usually stayed later than the cast, and didn’t get as many breaks,” said senior Dave Canning. “We usually worked from when we got here ’til we left — on Satur- days ten, maybe eleven hours.” Fifteen to twenty members were constantly constructing, painting, and coordinating sets for the per- formances of The Music Man. Liz Follett, junior, stated, “Without Crew, the c� st would be rehearsing and performing in a dark auditorium with no props and flats among other things, and it would be pretty unorganized. And what would a musical be without a Pit orchestra? Although starting later, and joining the cast only a few weeks before the production, members of the Pit had to be devoted to survive the long rehearsals. “All we did was sit, sit, sit, and play, play, play, waiting for a break that seemed never to come,” com- mented senior Adria DeMayo. The members often joked about having to learn how to walk again and being reintroduced to their families, but knew the time and effort put in was neces- sary for a successful produc- tion. “The major part was trying to coordinate the cast and the music, and making cuts,” stated senior Paul McMahon. Jeff Riha, senior, noted, “You put in a lot of time but it was worth it in the end — it’s great to see what you can do.” All of the time and work put in by the two groups seemed excessive at times and things often got very try- ing, but the members some- how lived through it. “For most people associated with the play, it was the most responsible thing that they had done in their lives; so- meone was depending upon them and expected them to come through,” explained senior Tom Feinberg. The members proved that they were worthy of the respon- sibility placed on them, with four fine shows as evidence. 208 Pit Band and Stage Crew Only the heads of Rich Dambra, Minnie Lieblich, and Mary McAteer are visible during a performance of The Music Man. Scenery painting is an important but messy part of any theatrical pro- duction. The band room is occupied by Pit band members Cheryl Farrington, Maureen Leyes, and Adria DeMayo, as they practice into the evening. Crew work is difficult, tiring, trying, and confusing, as Brenda Sienkiewicz finds out. The score for the musical requires many adjustments and Rich Dambra does his share of them. Stage Crew and Pit Band 209 The time was approaching for my interview for member- ship in Key Club, and as I waited nervously, I couldn't help asking myself why I didn’t join clubs that accepted anybody. All this applying and competing for acceptance was getting on my nerves. First it had been that long Honor Soci- ety application last spring, the one where I had to write an essay about my good qualities. Right after school started it was the Dalerette tryouts, now it was Key Club, and I knew if I wanted to join GLC in the spring I would have to pass a writ- ten exam. As the interview began, my only thoughts were, “These clubs better be worth the trouble they are to get into.” Thoughts like these aren't uncommon among many stu- dents, who find themselves eager to join a particular club until they realize how hard it is to obtain membership. Tryouts for positions on the kickline attract a huge number of girls every year, so the competition is very strong. Joanne Vissalli, senior, remarked, “My first Dalerette tryout was the most nerve- wracking thing I had ever gone through. Getting on the squad meant everything to me at the time.” Some people, however, enjoy this kind of tryout. “1 was nervous waiting to audition for The Music Man,” Jay Weinstein, sophomore, recalled, “But when I got on stage 1 felt sure I would do well.” Most clubs don’t have physical auditions but many have written applications, often accompanied by interviews. Hi- Life, the Honor Society, and Key Club are organizations which follow this procedure. It makes it more difficult for stu- dents to become members, but those who are accepted feel it is important. “I think it is a necessity in Key Club because otherwise you get people who don’t care about the commu- nity. This way you get dedicated people,” Janine Henry, sen- ior, commented. Sometimes, however, the applications dis- courage students from even trying to enter clubs. Diane Mol- loy, senior, explained, When I went down to be a yearbook assistant as a sophomore I didn’t understand any of the termi- nology on the application, and 1 just had a feeling I wouldn’t be accepted.” Diane went on to become president of SAC, joining the minority of club participants who achieve the status of office holders. Almost every club has elections for officers, and all the club representatives vote on the officers of the Student Activities Council, their governing body. The other elected students make up the smallest, and most elite of organiza- tions, the class officers. Campaigning for these positions is a major task, and for a short period of time every spring, flashy posters with catchy slogans dot the halls, cafeteria windows, and commons. Tom Gennaro, senior class treasurer, said, “Campaigning is really exciting right up to the day of the elec- tion, but that day is terrible.” “It’s really nerve-wracking going through all your classes and wondering if you’ve won,’ Monica Hardiman, senior class president, added. Naturally, there are many clubs which have no require- ments for membership, and these are of equal caliber with those which do. For those students who are accepted into clubs with membership regulations, however, their participa tion is heightened by a sense of accomplishment; of being ont of the select. 210 Auditions Mr. Marino’s office is used by Sieve Mancuso and Greg Tessar to interview Felicia Tirico for Key Club membership. Questions are directed towards potential Honor Society member Greg Wildes by Angela Recine as Mrs. Caccavallo, Sue Fer- rante and Chris Jeffreys look on. Nervous energy is converted to creative energy as Shanni Reine auditions for The Music Man. The results of a long campaign lie waiting to be counted.

Alias the Print Shop and Livewires, they were responsible for many things that people con- tinually took for granted. Although the Livewires were active throughout the school day, most of their work was done behind the scenes. The musical The Music Man was their biggest obligation of the year. Senior Bob Reitman commented, “We worked on all of the technical aspects of the play, which were mostly producing different lighting effects.’ Just as one didn’t think of AVA while watching the per- formance, the club did not readily come to mind in classes during films, film- strips, and other teaching aides either. But the club members provided these and other services, faithfully per- forming jobs whenever needed, sucn as filming foot- ball games for the team to review. The Daler Pressmen also did numerous behind the scenes projects which most students took for granted. Printing classes were held during school, but it was a group of about 30 students from the advanced classes that put in all of the extra work. These Daler Pressmen were active in creating pro- grams for The Music Man and other school events, and making up tickets and memos for various uses. “Printing breaks up the monotony of the school day,” stated Dean Gardiner, senior. The school and community benefitted from the conven- ient, inexpensive, and some- times even free work done by the Pressmen; work on which hard-pressed groups would otherwise have to have spent much more money. A lack of recognition for the Daler Pressmen and the AVA sometimes irritated the members of these groups. “No one thought to thank us for our work when they saw the finished product, stated Bob Byrne, senior. Yet although few people expressed appreciation to the group, their work did not go unnoticed, for it provided the finishing touches to almost every school event.

Launch, Live, and Learn At times science can he monotonous or tedious, hut to students who were interested, the Rocket Club, Lab Squad, and Science Club produced an opportunity to participate in educational activities while hav- ing fun. The Rocket Club was involved with the building and launching of model rockets. “Some of the kids wanted to start the club,” explained Mr. Kent, a science teacher, “so I offered to be their advisor. With his help, the stu- dents learned to assemble the rockets from a kit. and set off the finished products. “Almost anyone can learn to do it, said junior Steve Morea. The club attracted many students’ time and effort as well as their avid interest. The Lab Squad involved sci- ence and social service. “Our aim was not only to serve the science faculty, but to explore our indi- vidual career interests in the sci- ence field, explained Sue Gru- ber, junior. The handful of stu- dents met during their free peri- ods in the Central Prep room where they reorganized chemi- cals and supplies, equipment and learned how to use a bal- ance, to name a few activities. “They explored their own inter- ests and abilities, stated Mrs. Meyerson, their advisor. In addi- tion, the club was rewarded with participation in the Nassau Sci- ence Exposition Day, when May came around. The high school animal lover was drawn to the Science Club. The purpose of this club was car- ing for the creatures in the ani- mal room. Experiments done with the animals included build- ing mazes for Whitey, the white mouse, and breeding the gerhils, hamsters, and mice kept there. The members profited by the experience of handling the vari- ety of animals, cleaning cages, and even maintaining the two aquariums. Predominantly it was the rewards of working with the animals that made the Sci- ence Club members come back day after day before homeroom, or during a free period. Junior, Examination rocket is the launching. of the finished final step before The planning of future Rocket Club projects requires reference to manuals and advice from Mr. Kent, the advisor.

Science Clubs 215 AS JL he clock runs out, the buzzer sounds, and the scoreboard announces which team has won. But it takes more than the highest score to make athletes worthy of being called winners. It takes hours of practice, expensive equipment, and the coop- eration of family members. It takes a willingness to work with teammates and to listen to coaches, whether their mes- sage is to lead the offense or warm the bench. It takes a fighting spirit to come out on top, and a spirit of good sportsmanship to accept defeat. When all this is present, the numbers on the scoreboeard really don’t matter. The players are all winners, standing out whether in M first place or last. Winners 217 The face of Christine Spaulding exhibits the stress and strain of ten nis practice.

Jones and Pat Klein. Sure, we have those big important games, but they just wouldn’t exist if it weren’t for the Blood, Sweat Tears The football is thrown as the pass pattern is repeated; the volleyball is spiked; the high jump bar is cleared; the ball is shot on goal; another lap in the pool is completed. These repeated actions are part of a daily routine for a member of any team. They are simply known as prac- tices. “Practices get the athletes into shape and keep them in a healthy condition,” stated Greg Munier, junior. After a few days, these practices tend to become very tedious because the same drills are continually being used and against the same people. “A person doesn’t really know if he peaked or not when they’re playing the same peo- ple all the time,” stated Tom Murtagh, senior. It’s easy to believe that the work and effort is leading no where and that the practices are becom- ing a chore. At this point, any change is a welcome improve- ment. Everyday during the school week and sometimes on weekends, the teams practice. From the boredom of the rep- etition of drills comes not only fitness but a common goal. Sophomore John Tournour said, “They (prac- tices) unite the team mem- bers and create a winning spirit.” After the First few compulsory practices, the teams begin to scrimmage other teams. These scrim- mages provide new faces and plays to test one’s skills against. “Once the scrim- mages start,” remarked Rob- ert Manfredi, senior, “the boredom disappears and everyone bears down to do their jobs.” By the time the actual games begin, the ragged group of individuals has become a well-oiled machine. The pass is completed; the spike returned; the bar raised; the goal saved, and the backstroke has become fluid. 218 Practice A toss of the volleyball by Mr. DiFrancisco provides Chris Farrell with an opportunity to practice her shots as Debbie Fiordilino helps out.

VOLLEYBALL (11-8) It’s Better the Second Time Around It has all paid off. After hours, days, and even weeks of working to be the best, the volleyball team has finally reached the playoffs. In just their sec- ond season under the coaching of Mr. Angelo DiFransisco, they have improved their team tre- mendously. As Kim O’Conner put it, “Mr. D. is a good coach. He makes you work hard but when we win, it’s all worth it.” The fundamental success of the team is primar- ily due to the effort and devotion put in at the practices. “We practice for about three hours when we don’t have a game.” stated Rhonda Barush, jun- ior. “When we practice we are very relaxed, even when we work hard, so it takes a lot of the pressure off the team and players,” said Kim O’Conner, jun- ior. Because the girls work so hard, team effort and friendship are important. Debbie Fiordilino, sen- ior, stated, “Since we are all friends, games aren’t as tense as they were last year.” Friends are very important because they help the team members to keep a good attitude toward the game. As Chris Ihm, senior, stated, “You can’t win with just two or three stars, it takes team effort to win a game.” Fans are an important part of every sport. Everyone does better when performing in front of them. Linda Guercio, junior, commented, “The volleyball team has drawn a lot of support this year, and it has helped team spirit greatly.” Volleyball encompasses much more than the physical aspect of the game, it requires a great amount of concentration. It’s apparent that the Girl’s Volleyball team has achieved the proper bal- ance between the two, to win. Chris Ihm leaps to return her opponent’s shot.

Eleven uneasy girls stand ready for action 'cause they're Watching the Birdie When spoken in the gym, this phrase doesn’t conjure up a picture of a photographer but rather a shuttlecock, the object hit back and forth in the game of badminton. “Badminton is similar to tennis, except that the net is higher, the racquet smaller and the “ball” doesn’t hit the ground,” stated Cathy Owens, junior. The game, itself, is played by two or four players and has a scoring system similar to that of volleyball. Badminton requires intense concentration as one must always keep his eye on the “birdie.” “There are many options a person has when the birdie is hit to her. She could hit a drop shot, a smash or a lob,” remarked Laura Vigh, junior. Advanced players often learn how to make the birdie do tricks, such as sudden curves and drops. The badminton team enjoyed a successful year during the 1979-80 season because of the tremendous devotion on the part of the players and the coach, Rich Armour. “He had patience and willingness to help us,” said Susie Rouvas, senior. Whether one calls it a “birdie” or a shuttle- cock, the fast paced volleying of the object back and forth over a net and the instantaneous reac- tions made to unexpected plays provide a dazz- ling exhibition of skill by the team. After all, a bird in the air is worth two in the net. i Intense concentration is shown by Barbara Beagle as she hits the “birdie.” After returning a volley, Mary Ann Augart and Ann Langford prepare for the next attack.

Almost Cross Country Picture yourself running all alone, long dis- tances through the desolate woods wearing only the traditional white shorts and green numbered tanktops, from the hot sun of August until the cold frost of November. If one can imagine this, one is nearly a member of the cross country team. Cross country is an extremely difficult sport which requires great endurance and agility, speed being the least important. Practices are usually hard and grueling. To be able to run these long, lonely treks through the woods, or an occasional open field, cross country athletes must be in good shape. As Greg Flynn, sopho- more, remarks, “Most of us join winter and spring track to keep in shape year round. When asked specifically how they train, Steve Melore, senior and co-captain of the team, reports, “We do a lot of running and average about 30 miles a week.” Even though the 1980 season hasn’t been one of the most successful, the track members cannot help but feel great pride in what they have accomplished. Fans come out to support their teams in many sports, but in cross country as John Driscol, sen- ior and co-captain, remarks, There is a lack of support because a lot of people don’t understand what kind of sport it is. This hurts the team spirit because all athletes perform better when people are watching.” The only fans a cross country runner has when competing in a race are the track members and an occasional girl friend. Cross country is much more than just a sport. It serves as a place to hang out after school and to make many lasting friendships. Tired at the end of the race, Steve Melore gives Ken While running across the field Ken Arnold, Ed Arnold a chance to catch up. Schmidt and Paul Bogart set an easy pace. This is the start of a long grueling race. Cross Country 223 An important part of the junior class activities is selling candy to the fans during the football game.

The Key to Victory They could be playing football, basketball, soc- cer, or volleyball, but no matter what their sport is, athletes don’t like compet- ing without the support of fans. In professional sports, a team which doesn’t draw fans isn’t entertaining, and doesn’t go very far. On the high school level, fans are not crucial in deciding whether a team will exist, but they do have a strong psycho- logical effect on the play- ers. “Everyone performs bet- ter when there are fans watching and cheering,” Greg Wildes, junior, noted. It is only when the compa- triots of the athletes put in their appearance at games that large crowds fill the stands, so their presence is always appreciated by the athletes. These loyal and enthusiastic friends come down and cheer on a team whether it wins or loses. “I don’t watch the games just for the sport, Brian Coltel- lino, junior, related, “I come to see my friends participat- ing.” Yet while some students are willing to brave even rain and extreme cold to cheer on their peers, most don’t seem to have the time or interest to attend school sporting events. Even when very few stu- dents show up at a game, however, the stands and side- lines are never completely empty, for the parents of the athletes can be counted on for loyal support. They are the ones who have bought all the necessary equipment, and have driven their children to and from practices over the years. “The parents put almost as much effort into a game as their kids do, Mr. Romanelli declared. Whatever people’s reasons for attending games, whether school spirit, an interest in the sport, friends and or rel- atives on the team, or just curiosity, the athletes are always eager to see them. As George O’Brien, sophomore, commented, “It’s just not the same when there is no one watching you.” Fans 225 Young and Talented One of the high points of our sports program the last few years has been the lacrosse team. Lacrosse is similar in many ways to soc- cer, but the fact that a stick is used to move the ball down the field adds an extra chal- lenge, for a successful player must use the stick well with both his right and left hand. In such a demanding sport, it is essential that the ath- letes play as a group, not in- dividuals. John DeTommaso, junior, observed, “I thought the team had a great year. Everyone on the team was close and we played like one unit.” The competition was tough, especially from teams like Massapequa, Berner, and Levittown, but the lacrosse team still had an excellent season. “We had a young but talented team,” John Krume- nacker, senior, explained. Most of the strong players on that team will be back for another season, and with newcomer’s fresh skills, should be able to maintain the fine reputation our lacrosse team has earned.

Looking Ahead Sounds of intense effort echoed over the sag- ging net. 40-love. Yes, the game is tennis, and Farmingdale’s represented by Coach Bitel’s spirited crew-a crew of which Bitel said, “I expected them to be improved this year with a lot of good players returning.” Returning junior John Carman stated, “We should be better this year simply because of another year of experience.” John Dellis, senior, gave this analysis of the year’s team; “The team should move up to third place after Syosset and Bellmore Kennedy, who dominated the division every year because the people over there have tennis courts in their backyard.” With the combination of talent, experience, and a willingness to do hard work, the team may surprise many people, even those with tennis courts in their backyards. Most people would assume that when a team goes through an entire season without winning one game, the athletes would be disappointed and depressed. The members of the girls tennis team, however, have only good feelings about their season despite a losing record. “We all did really well,” Eileen Nolan, senior, observed, “it was just that the other teams played a little bit better.” Donna Cassano, sen- ior, added, “I’m surprised we didn’t do better, because we had a lot of team spirit. But winning wasn’t most important to us.” Most of the girls agreed that their losses stem- med from a lack of experience, as there were mostly freshmen and sophomores on the team. There was also a problem because the season started very early in the school year, and there was little time to work on skills. Coach Riedy did his best to work with the girls, especially on their serves. “Mr. Riedy was really understanding, and he helped everybody at practice,” Nolan said. Carol Swallow, senior, stated, “We weren’t pushy like some teams, we were just out to have a good time, and we did.” So, no matter what the record implies, the girls tennis team had a suc- cessful season.

Captains are alter- nated thereby giving each member an opportunity to represent their team in the traditional pre-game event. This leadership continues throughout the season and is an excellent opportunity to gain experience by trying to instruct their fellow team Soccer Teams Gain Confidence A competitive spirit has always been evident in our teams, and the soccer team was no excep- tion. Although comprising a losing record, the team was one to be taken seriously. Varsity soccer coach, Dugan, was impressed with the attitude of the team; its determination to give a strong showing against formidable Hicksville, Massapequa, and Berner High Schools. Howver, though determination is neces- sary, it isn’t enough to produce a successful sea- son in as powerful a league as Conference 1. “This team lacks the necessary skills for soccer,” remarked Coach Dugan, “ball control, for the majority of the players, is generally lacking.” Despite the disadvantages in technical skills, the team held its own remarkably well, bringing their games with the top contenders to an excit- ing climax in the final minutes. John Kobi led the defense and was recognized by the league’s coaches for all Conference hon- ors. Tom Freshour, applied himself well at the positions of fullback and center forward, where he roused the opposition’s defense with his scor- ing capabilities. Freshour commented on the team’s state of mind. “We knew they were good, but we entered the game with the feeling that we were going to make them work to beat us!” Rob Weithofer, fullback, commented, “We could accept the loss if we knew we had done our best.” This attitude was evident in each member of the team throughout the season. Team Spirit Eases the Pain In the heat-filled month of August, the girl’s soccer team became a new addition to the sports members. Front Row: C. Deissler, R. Birney, M. Singer, D. McGuinn, T.

The training of the team would prove to be a challenge to Coach Rich Armour, as many of the girls had never played previously. His dedication and optimistic attitude helped the girls, but not enough to overcome the lack of experience and depth. Coach Armour seemed to be concerned with the individual players. “We had a good time and learned from him,” stated Cathy Owens, junior, “He taught and helped develop the basic skills we needed.” Armour exposed the inexperienced team to a rigorous training routine during the unpleasant summer months. Despite this training, the girls suffered through a disappointing season. There was a need for improvement in experience, ball con- trol, and teamwork. “We played too much for the individual rather than the team,” com- mented Ann Kenney, junior. Despite the poor record, however, all was not lost. Many bright players are expected to excel in soccer and among these are Mary Ellen Rei- chel, Patty Klein, and Laura Vigh. With the help of Coach Rich Armour, the talent of the players, and the ever-increasing experience, the team can be expected to make a dent in the powerful Con- ference I division in the future.

Is this a tryout for the Radio City Music Hall Rockettes, or are Sue Warren and Ann Ken- ney demonstrating on Indian rain dance, or is it just strong animosity between the members of our soccer team? Soccer 2MI Going Unnoticed While the varsity athlete plays in the spotlight, often in front of large crowds, the junior varsity athlete, who practices and plays just as hard, goes largely unrecog- nized. “We don’t get the fans down to watch the game,” complained sophomore John Hayden. The junior varsity program mainly consists of sopho- mores and exceptional fresh- men. Each JV team corre- sponds to a varsity team and the program tries to teach potential varsity athletes the finer points of the games. Participating athletes prac- tice every day after school throughout the season, fol- lowing the same schedule as the varsity teams. “The JV coaches try to improve your game. They tell you which position you are better in and which to stay away from,” Steven Cohen, sophomore, stated. In spite of their time and effort, junior varsity athletes aren’t always given the credit they deserve. “The best play- ers on the JV team,” Michael Coppola, sophomore, noted, “are considered lower than the second string on the var- sity team.” This opinion is held by many who don’t understand that the differ- ence between varsity players and junior varsity players is one of age rather than skill. Still, playing on a junior varsity team has its rewards. It is a learning experience for a team member, who receives valuable training, skills, and discipline in preparation for playing under the spotlight. 232 J.V.

This year’s season was no different, although unfortunately, the team didn’t make the playoffs. When asked what it takes to play for Coach Snyder, the most common response was the three D’s — desire, dedication, and devotion. As halfback Tommy Walsh, senior, remarked, “Football has to come first on your list of pri- orities.” The team’s bench also made a significant contribution to the season. Michael Lore, sen- ior, commented, “They have good spirit. They keep the team going during the game, and during practice they help us prepare for the game.” Junior Thomas Zeng observed, “They realize that they don’t have the skill of some other players, but when they get a chance to get in, they do their best, and they always root the rest of the guys on.” It isn’t always easy for those on the bench, though. Tommy Walsh, senior, admitted, “It’s boring and frustrating when you don’t get in. Sometimes you get anxious and you don’t feel like part of the team.” Playing on the team was more difficult this year than during previous seasons. Some of the athletes played both offense and defense, and gave 100% of their effort to both. This factor seemed to be the key to success. The team was enjoying a winning streak until the Massapequa game. All year long this game was built up to be the deciding game between the two teams for the conference title. Both teams knew there would be no tomorrow, and the season would in effect end for the loser. The feeling of electricity in the air was evident to all who attended the memorable game. For every play, both the Massapequa and Farming- dale fans were on the edge of their seats. As they had proved over the course of the season, both teams were,capable of an outstanding play at any moment. Even though Farmingdale held the lead at halftime, it was so close that both teams knew the game was far from over. Problems in the second half, however, culminated by a fourth quarter interception, led to a Massapequa vic- tory. That loss did knock out a chance in the play- offs, but even without a championship title, this year’s football team had a season of which to be proud. Back row: Coach Snyder, S. Serkes, J.

Experience Aids Cheerleaders Throughout the football and basketball seasons, a few girls attempt year after year to bolster team and fan spirit. Many of this year’s Varsity and J.V. cheerleaders began cheering at seven years of age for the Hawks and have remained interested ever since. “I’ve always felt it was an honor to be on the squad,” reported Varsity cheerleader Karen Kenny, “but it seems like it’s been the same girls every year.” Although the many years of experience have contrib- uted to the continuity of team membership, the cheer- leaders were disturbed by the small number of girls who showed up at try-outs this year. “Girls weren’t trying out because of a lack of school spirit.” Sheryl McAfee, senior, commented. “It’s a shame since they really aren’t bad. At the try- outs -you have to demonstrate more of a gymnastic routine than a cheering one.” The fifteen cheerleaders practiced almost every day during the football and bas- ketball seasons. “It’s a good exercise and it’s really not that difficult,” Debbie Van Winkler, senior, stated. “Once you learn how to pick up a cheer, they all seem pretty easy. You have to be able to do a cartwheel and a split, but that’s not a big problem.” Although most people take the cheerleaders’ presence at the games for granted, the girls themselves are some- times discouraged. “More parents than students attend the games, and even when there are a lot of people, they’re more interested in the football team,” Sheryl McAfee noted. Cheerleaders 237 Building for “We were a young team and we hoped to make it to the divisions, but most of all, we hoped to learn enough and acquire the experience for next year,” commented captain Greg W’ildes. This was the feeling of most of the players on the basketball team this year. With only one returning senior, the team hoped to make this season a steppingstone on the way to future championship seasons. Mike Perettine, senior, said, “A lot of sopho- mores and juniors do well after a year of experi- ence.” That’s what the basketball team was keeping in mind. With three sophomores and ten iuniors on the team, their objective was building for next year, while trying to make the best of this season. There was a lot of stiff competition this year Dribbling up the court, Mike Perettine looks for an open man. The game begins with Greg Wildes outjumping hisoppo- Mike Perettine flies through the air as he shoots a bas- nent from Harborfields. ket. 238 Basketball The team waits anxiously as Greg Wildes goes up for a lay-up. the Future with Hast Meadow heading the list and Berner and Hicksville close behind. “In fact,” Jim Bovich, junior, pointed out, the whole league was pretty tough, but we worked hard, and did what we could, and hoped to do well.” Teamwork was an important key to a success- ful season, and here the team had an advantage. Coach Savalli remarked at the start of the sea- son, “There are no stars here, just a team that works together as a unit.” Practices often seemed tough, and Mike Per- ettine reported that although Coach Savalli was friendly off the court, “on the court he was a tough and strict competitor who didn’t like to lose.” By putting plenty of hard practice and determination into its game, the team did its best not to disappoint him. A Daler attack is led by Greg Wildes as he races down the court. A time-out is used by Coach Savalli to give advice and strategy to the team. Basketball 239 On defense.

This rivalry can destroy or seriously weaken team spirit. The ideal way to avoid this situation is to have the same level of skill in every player, but this often isn’t possible. Fortunately, the girls’ basketball team achieved just such a balance of talent and the result was a team that was strong in offense, defense, and spirit. With nine seniors on the team, most of whom had been playing together since junior high school, the outlook for this season was promis- ing from the start. “Everyone (the team) could shoot well,” Chris Ihm, senior, explained, “so as long as we worked the ball around we were good.” Yet although there was no competition within the team, the girls were all very com- petitive with their opponents. “We always gave 100 per cent in the games. If we were behind, we came back and made it close,” Kris Farrell, senior, emphasized. There were minor problems, of course, such as the height factor. While most schools had tall starters, just about everyone on the team was of average height. It was also difficult to prepare mentally for every game when there were so many games so close together. Despite these dif- ficulties, however, the girls were pleased with their games and their methods of winning. Their toughest opponent was Berner, but the girls were confident of their skills against any challenger. Their friendship and respect for each other’s skill made working together easy, and enabled them to enjoy their season. Stopped in the process of a shot, Chris Ihm is blocked by the high jumping of her opponent. Girls'Basketball 241 Unusual Practices Create Winners Hallway Runners Did anyone ever run into you after school so that when you turned around you thought you're being attacked by the whole track team? Well, if you stay past the 2 o’clock bell, you’ve probably experienced this aeony. Coach Brem instituted the in- door track practice, and every afternoon during the Winter Track season track members such as Tom Walsh and John Conneely, can be seen runn- ing up the stairs, through the doors, down the halls, down the stairs, and through the Commons. Roaming the same halls after school as they do during the day, but at a faster pace, the track team gets in shape for their meets. This proved very important as the past rewarding season has shown. From the 1976-1977 season, when the team rose to the throne of Conference 1, League A champions, until 1980, they have remained champions and have proved themselves wor- thy of all conference recognition. The 1981 team is taking this traditional form as it comes powerfully equipped with veteran seniors, talented juniors and eager sophomores. This Winter Track team is more dependent than any other year on its younger athletes. Notable sophomores include Phil Varca and Rich Van Wickler. Juniors Jose Santana and Kevin McIntyre are among those expected to excel. Veteran seniors expected to lead the team to another League A Championship are Tom Walsh, John Conneely, Aaron Cano, and John Driscoll. Despite the loss of many quality runners who have graduated, Coach Walter Brem noted, “We will have many good seniors returning to us. I expect and am confident that our juniors and sophomores will be able to mature and fill the empty roles awaiting them.” The attitude toward winning is great- ly responsible for the team’s tremendous suc- cess. Cano summed up the team’s feelings by stating, “You have to work hard if you want to be good, but in the end, it is worth it.” Limbering up becomes a vital part of sports for Terri Lankford and Eilene Quercia. 4th row: K.

Up and Coming If you join the football or basketball team you can expect to see posters around school announcing your next game, hundreds of fans in attendance, and the usual amount of glory associated with those sports. Track, on the other hand is a rigorous exercise in self-discipline in which there are often few such rewards. Only recently, with increased interest in running, is interest in track gaining.

Each match is fought with this fierce, determined intensity. Such are the characteristics of our formidable wrestling team. The members work hard to maintain a long, proud tradition of Farmingdale wrestling. Coaches Apgar and Dugan work their athletes hard, perfecting basic skills and introducing new ones. Although practices are grueling, the team realizes that physical conditioning is man- datory. Wrestling, perhaps more than any other sporting activity, demands this. Mat Tropiano, senior, noted, “It’s the toughest sport because on the mats it’s one-on-one. There is no one to help you.” As is evident of all our teams, the wrestlers complete a difficult and demanding schedule. “We have a good team here, but we’re in a tough division,” remarked Mike Bresnahan, senior. The loss of quality wrestlers after the 1980 graduation could have weakened the Dalers. However, Charlie Ross contradicted, “Although we were underrated, we really came through and proved we were good wrestlers.” The team is looking forward to a promising season with their returning veteran seniors Tony Ferrera, Joe Arnold, and Jim O’Connor, as well as veteran juniors Phil Czarnec, and Joe Calabrese. Sophomores and maturing juniors are hoped to provide a strong team in the near future. Attendance at the matches has been somewhat poor. Ferrera concluded, “In the future, I hope more people come to see us wres- tle. Hear Ye, students of Farmingdale High School! Your Daler team is far surpassing an already difficult reputation. Be proud of your team; it has earned respect!” Hard Work After school, some students don’t go home; they go to the gymnasium to work out and improve their skills in wrestling. This time is filled with sweat and anguish. The members of the wrestling team must exert much strength to attain victory over the opposing team. Vinny Quinn demonstrates this as he tries to pin down his opponent. Back row: J. Maybury. A. Calabrese. J. DeTommaso, P. Czarnic, C. Ross. Middle row: M. Bresnahan, J. Arnold, G. Clinton, R.

Sometimes there was the “thrill of victory” and other times it was the “agony of defeat,” but everyone par- ticipating deserves a “perfect ten” for effort and dedication. The gymnastic team’s practice sessions con- sisted of working on routines from 2:30 to 5:00 p.m. every day. The key members of the team were Tom Schmitt for all-around; Tom Tomeo, junior, for floor and vaulting, and Greg Tesser, senior, on the high bar. The team was very sup- portive of individual members. The youngest member of the team was Tom Schmitt, not yet out of junior high school. Schmitt said, “This is a great experience for me, being on the varsity team at this age.” The team finished the year with a 5-3 record, which pleased Coach Hraba. Something which had to please him even more was the hard work of the team members. Their determination and sheer effort pulled them through winning and losing meets and kept them looking forward to another excellent year next year. The gymnastic team was a prime example that dedication is a major asset in any endeavor. Showing graceful fluidity, Lynn Kennedy goes through her balance beam exercise. The Work Pays Off The effort put into the uneven bars finally is all worthwhile when one does well. Lynn Kennedy, junior, ex- hibits remarkable grace and coordination as she moves through her strenuous routine. This determination was shown by all during the season. On the floor, Dave Gimanaro executes a balance move dur- ing competition. Girls’ Gymnastics 249 Pool Not Always Safe for Swimmers Practice Makes Perfect Practicing and more practicing, diving and more diving, swimming more and more laps are what got the boys’ swimming team its win- ning season. Diving the same dive for the millionth time, Ron Pimental readies himself to do it again. Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water, our swimming team begins bom- barding the pool from all sides. Whether it is freestyle, breaststroke, backstroke, relays, or diving, the girls give everything they have. All of these events require different and specialized skills and agility. The girls’ swimming team, despite their ef- forts, wound up with a disappointing season. The spirit of the team was high but, as the season wore on, weakened. “We got what we deserved, commented the diving captain, San- dy Wall, junior. “If we would have worked harder, we would have done better.” The season wasn’t totally unsuccessful. The diving aspect of the team improved and one stu- dent in particular, junior Tina Strubel, excelled in freestyle. Several swimmers advanced to the county finals. They included the swimming cap- tain, senior Diane Freshour, juniors Linda Locascio and Dorothy Lohnau, sophomores Leslie Annis and Tina Strubel. The outlook for the future is bright. The girls are filled with hope and anticipation. “I think if we really push we could get first in the counties — if we make a total commitment,” Leslie An- nis summed up. On the other side of the coin, the boys’ swim- ming team went undefeated this year. This tremendous feat led them to be named number one in Nassau County and number three on Long Island. As Bill Annis, senior, put it, “We’ve worked hard and it’s paid off. Determination and the will to win keeps us going.” The team executed precision in its effort to obtain its goals. During the season, the swimmers realized that there was a good chance for winning their con- ference. This gave them the enthusiasm they needed to keep them going through the grueling During a meet, some swimmers get good starts off the block while others don’t. practices. “It’s not practice we want. We want to win. When we practice, we have to swim hard. Our hard work is a major factor in our vic- tories,” stated senior Tom Murtagh. At the start of a race. Leslie Annis gets ready to leap into the water.

After Hours Even after most of the members of the swim team have left the school, junior Sandy Wall continues to prac- tice and perfect her dives. This desire to be the best is evident in many of the girls and proves to be a moving factor. It also helps the swimmers to make it through the grueling season. Back Row: C. Sherman, M. Pa ton, L.

How would you like to play some tennis today?” “Great, I’ll meet you at Howitt in half an hour.” “Okay, I’ll see you there.” Probably more students participate in sports outside of school than inside. These so-called leisure sports pro- vide teenagers with the op- portunity to get excerise while having fun in a relaxed atmosphere with friends. Speaking about his summer tennis playing, for example, Doug Griggs, said, “I usually walk to Howitt and play a set or two. Tennis is an exciting sport that always keeps you moving. It can be very invigorating.” Sports enthusiasts say the sports of the 1980’s will be the racquet sports. The most popular are table tennis, rac- quetball, and paddleball and handball. An attempt to start a table tennis club in the high school this year was unsuc- cessful. Racquetball clubs are popping up all over the area and this is probably the fastest growing sport right now. Paddleball - handball is an institution and wherever there’s a bunch of kids, a handball, and a wall, you can bet it is being played. Skateboarding is popular in this area, but it has not caught on in the East Coast as it has in California. Senior Bob Reilly said, “Riding a skateboard is a lot of fun. I use the skateboard like a bicycle. It’s much quicker than walking.” Speaking about playing frisbee, junior John Carman said, “Frisbee is a sport that never gets boring. There are always new tricks to learn or you can practice the ones you already know.” Rollerskating is also a popular leisure sport. Junior A1 Schellhorn remarked, “Skating is a lot of fun. The prices at the rinks aren’t too bad compared to the fun you have.” The high school is famous for its after-school recrea- tion. This takes place every Thursday night, every Satur- day afternoon, and also dur- ing the summer. Mr. Mulligan said that recrea- tion, “... keeps the kids off the streets and the crime in the schools.” Recreation consists of swimming in the indoor pool, basketball, weightlifting and handball in the boy’s gym, and badminton in the girl’s gym. During the school year, recreation is used as a release. Many students can’t wait for Thursday night to get away from it all for just a few hours. Steve DePalo, senior, stated, “Recreation is great. My friends and I often go down to play some basket- ball. For two hours I can forget about everything else and just have some fun.” In Farmingdale, there is something for everyone. An active person can participate in active sports. A leisurely person can participate in more relaxed sports. With leisure sports, a person can participate in almost any ac- tivity he wishes, within the limits of the law, of course. A bicycle provides easy transportation for a quick stop at the library. Lesiure Sports 253 AS P larents give allowances, paychecks come in after long hours of work, holidays bring gifts of cash, and students head for the shopping malls, movie theatres, and restaurants, adding their numbers to the world of consumers. By the time they reach high school, surveys show that most students have definite favorites among stores and brands, and are par- ticular about where they spend their limited funds. Businesses definitely are aware of this, and devote a great deal of energy to attracting teenage customers. For high school students, this is the time wrhen their taste in clothes, entertainment items and food carries a great deal of weight, and they find themselves standing out as influential and sought after consumers.

As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly: and listen to others, even the dull and ignorant; they too have their story. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans, keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful, strive to be happy. All our very best goes with you all. and may you take heed and live the words above from DESIDE- RATA, and above all be happy and be yourself. © Sincerely Yours, P.T.A.

Business 289 START COLLEGE TWO YEARS OLDER, TWO YEARS WISER, AND S15.200RICHER. A lot of people who start college right after high school discover they’re not ready for it. That’s a good reason to think about serving two years in the Army first. And only the Army offers you a 2-year enlistment. If you join the Veterans’ Educational Assistance Program (VEAP), the money you save for col- lege is matched two-for-one by the government. Then, if you qualify, the Army adds an ex- fl|IIY III THE ADliY elusive bonus of up UI1U 111 I TIE MV1IVII •Maximum individual contribution in the program. • (Certain I-year enlistments can get you as much as $24.100 for college. 2 MAXIMUM VEAP BENEFITS You Save: Per Mo. $100 2 Yrs. $2,400 3 Yrs. $2,700 4 Yrs. $2,700 Gov’t Adds 2-for-l: $200 $4,800 $5,400 $5,400 Total: Army Bonus: $300 $7,200 $8,000 $8,100 $12,000 $8,100 SI 2,000 Total Benefits: $15,200 $20,100 $20,100 to $8,000 on top of that. That’s why in just two years in the Army, you could accumulate as much as $15,200 for college. (And up to $20,100 in three years.) So you won’t just be two yearsolder when you start college. You’ll also be two years wiser. And $15,200 richer. Serve yourcountry as you serve yourself: U. S.

Chatterton, R. Reimer Bottom: K. Wimberger, C. Ratto, D. McKeever Special From the Start It’s hard to pinpoint exactly what started it, but there was a special feeling in the 1981 Hi-Life staff. Maybe it was the combination of a new ad- visor and a new publishing company. Maybe it was the pride in last year’s first place book and the challenge to produce something even finer. Maybe it was the four August days at Amherst College: days of workshops, lectures, and planning sessions, with nights of dorm-to-dorm phone calls, wine and cheese parties where everyone drank ginger ale, and last minute trips to the local Baskin Robbins. Whatever it was, something made the thirteen editors, three advisors, and numerous faithful assistants and photographers decide to make this year something different; to try new concepts, face new challenges, and find new ways of dealing with familiar problems. The year started off on a note of enthusiasm with the New England Yearbook Workshop in Amherst, Massachusetts. There, the important task of selecting a theme was taken care of, and dozens of ideas began forming in the minds of the editors. “Our trip to Amherst turned out to be more than just a workshop,” Vicki DeSimone, junior, observed. “Of course, we learned the basic yearbook work but we also picked up a lot of new concepts and plenty of high spirits, and we grew closer as a staff as well.” Back home again, the editors started planning their sections, changing the order over and over again as first one article, then another, seemed more important. “We planned and planned, and just when everything seemed right we would have to start over again,” Alison Schecter, junior, recall- ed. School hadn’t opened yet, but several editors came in anyway to prepare the Hi-Life office for the coming year by cleaning, painting, and putting everything in order. With senior pictures, interviews for assistants, and the first deadline in October, things didn’t stay orderly for very long. There never seemed to be enough time from one deadline to the next, and enthusiasm often lost out to frustration under the pressure. Tension developed from doing layouts and forgetting to leave room for captions, writing copy three or four times and still getting it back with instructions to fix the lead or get better quotes, and getting home at 8:30 after promising to make it in time for dinner. Junior Laura Ghiorsi remarked, “I never felt more pressured in my life than when I had a deadline. In reality I thrive on pressure, but at the time I hated it.” Yet when the first set of proofs came in — when copy fit and the experimental new designs looked good — the en- thusiasm was revived once more. Everyone had vi- sions of the finished book, and couldn’t help being proud of their contribution. Putting together a 312 page yearbook takes a lot of time, effort, and sacrifice, but it also creates strong bonds of friendship and cooperation among those involved. That special feeling of excitement from the beginning of the year never left; even at the most exasperating times it was simmering in the background, keeping everyone going. That feeling made this a year of accomplishment, which showed in Hi-Life ’81, and which was felt by all those who were a part of its production. Hi-Life 307 No matter how much is said about long hours and hard work, most people will never realize how much the Hi-Life staff members had to give of themselves in order to produce this yearbook. We did have a lot of fun, but there were many difficult times. Friendships were ex- posed to unusual strain, and exhaustion and frustration often led to misunderstanding and temporary resentment and anger. To continue working together despite these problems, to stay after school day after day, month after month, re- quired a special kind of dedication, and the staff members really deserve the thanks of everyone who enjoys this book. However, since the majority of readers do not know their Hi-Life peers, these pages must serve as a sign of appreciation and congratulations. The twelve individual editors, whether they had sections of their own or were working for the book as a whole, took on tremendous responsibility. They began this work with different talents and levels of experience, but all were willing to learn as they went along. I would like to thank them for staying with it, and for giving it their very best. The assistants and photographers probably get the least public recognition when the book comes out, but their help was invaluable, and they all have my sincere thanks. The endless, often annoy- ing, jobs thrown on the assistants were always done, and many of these hard workers took a great burden from their editors. Since a yearbook is nothing without pictures, the photographers, especially those who spent hours in the darkroom while the rest of us worked in a warm, bright office, can never be thanked enough. Without the guidance and support of our three advisors this truly would have been an impossible job. Karen Lund and Michele McKenna were wonderful, giving freely of their time, patience, and good advice. And Ken Schwinn, our “Coach,” who came to us with tremendous enthusiasm, and learned, struggled, and laughed alongside us the whole year, even though we often didn’t seem to appreciate him, deserves very special and lasting tbanks. A few dozen students and three teachers have done everything possible to make this yearbook a success. It will always mean a great deal to us, and I hope it will remain equally special to all of you, the people for whom we did it, D()71 rt L Donna Swift Editor-in-Chief 308 Hi-Life Cover design and theme were among the Away from the noise in the Hi-Life office, topics the editors gathered to discuss during the David Tanen rewrites copy in room 151. afternoons at Amherst College.

We have no way of knowing, at this time, how much our experiences here will affect our future lives, but we can be sure they won’t be forgotten. We haven’t done everything right, and along the way some old traditions have been lost. But new traditions have started in their place, and over the year we’ve found new ways of showing our spirit, like the day we flooded the halls and classrooms with yellow to welcome home our hostages. Most important, however, are the individual, personal experiences we’ve had: taking a class so in- teresting it opened a whole new world of study, achieving personal victory as a member of a team that values sportsmanship and dedication, finding a club that’s just right, feeling relaxed and comfortable from being treated as adults, and gradually realizing, perhaps with a little shock, that there is a lot of pride mixed in with all those other feelings about school.
