The look on Angela Maniscalco's face as she put her new school ring on for the first time can't be recaptured. The pride we felt when it was announced that Jimmy Schweitzer and Steve McSIoy were semi-finalists in the Na- tional Merit Scholarship Program was unparal- leled. The excitement that built up when Corinne Barrett saw her fellow classmates in formal attire as they arrived in limousines at the Junior Prom can't be rivaled. The nervousness some of us felt before that important first date remains a mem- ory locked inside. Enthusiasm mounted as plans for our first homecoming began. Our school spirit that had been hibernating for the past few years finally emerged in gooey piles of pies and waves of dancing. The green and white decorated stands and the green and white clad fans characterized the scene for the big game against Massapequa.

Finally, it was you in the driver's seat. Nothing compared to the way you felt when you pulled into the student parking lot for the first time.

The memories that stand out in a student's mind are those of Dress Down Day, weekends at Times'', the Should-l-Wear-lt? preppie fash- ions, the look of envy on the faces of Michael Mailman's friends as he flashed his Rolling Stones concert tickets, the Prom, the chocolate- cream-pie-covered face of Andre Gomez at our first homecoming and the hours spent in front of Pac-Man. It’s these events that happen only once but remain forever as reminders of high school. Student Life 9 S8S Corning Out One With Many Try to picture what you were like in the ninth grade and the groups with which you were in- volved. Now look at yourself and your friends. People change; let’s face it. It's a good thing they do. Barbara Gilloon, senior, comment- ed. I remember how in ninth grade when my friends and I want- ed to get dressed up, we said. “Let's all wear a skirt on Friday.' Back then you couldn’t do any- thing without the approval of your peers. It was so silly how we were all such conformists! Slowly, though, we shed these security cliques, and friends with common interests became drawn together. In junior high school, everyone felt they had to conform to be accepted, but in high school, I was accepted for what and who I was. not for what people expected of me. explained Liz Follett, sen- ior. Playcrafters rehearsing on a Saturday afternoon, football play- ers getting psyched for a big game together, or friends proudly dis- playing their new set of wheels somehow capture this type of friendship. Playcrafters are like a family. Sure, there are some argu- ments, but we don't have to put on false airs to please anyone. We respect and love each other be cause we share such a closeness. Steve Guarino, senior, said. This feeling of being able to be your own person became more evident in the high school years. John Leddy. senior, seemed to say it best by saying, Your friends make you feel more comfortable so you can be yourself.” Jay Nachbar and Annette Polaski ex- change a warm hello upon meeting be- tween classes. An amusing story is shared by Tyrone Holland. Jeanette Rose. Denise King. Cynthia Jeffers. Ronny Franklin, and Darryl Holland over lunch.

A sunny day brightens up an aquain- t a n c e be- tween Kenny Ryan and Kathleen McGuckin. Coming Out 11 Corning Out When You Are Enough If a man does not keep pace with his companions, maybe he is weird, stated John Tirico, freshman. The Junior High School Hangover had not yet warn off. Many freshman find it hard to do anything alone. They must always have a group on which to fall back. Through high school, though, there is a growth of character. People enjoy groups and so- cializing but also find a compan- ion in themselves. Janine Conlin, senior, commented, I find that in the last three years I have be- gun to depend less and less on other people and can finally feel comfortable doing things by my- self. I used to feel the need to always be with someone, but now that need no longer exists. A peek into the Math Office can find a student ardently work- ing on the computer in a math ematical world all his own. If you've ever taken a walk through the woods, you are like ly to pass a runner totally obliv- ious to your presence. When I'm running, it's like the whole world doesn't exist. It’s just me all alone. Bob Monahan, senior, stated. A change comes over the indi- vidual both inwardly and out- wardly. During the high school years, the student perfects his outside appearance to convey what he. the individual, is all about. The way one dresses, wears one’s hair or does one's make-up all contribute to the in- dividual statement. Rob Fer- rigno, senior, remembers, God, I remember in junior high school how if you dared to wear some- thing different, you were made fun of. Now people use their dress to make statements about themselves, and people respect them for it. I think high school brings with it a certain amount of maturity which allows you to be yourself and not be ostracized for it. As most students have discov- ered in high school, great strides are made toward finding oneself. 12 Coming Out A smile of content ment brightens Rose Marten s face as she completes her senior year and prepares to make her mark on the world.

The Knight And His Fair Lady Chivalry is not dead; it’s just in obeyance, muttered Janet O’Connor, senior, as she threw open the corridor door that had just slammed in her face. Where was Sir Galahad when you need- ed him!? Reminders of customs past, gentlemen opening car doors, an arm-in-arm stroll and the ele- gance of a white tuxedo were re- vived. On May 21, 1981 the Hun- tington Town House glowed with the ambience of charm and class”. Leather jackets and patched jeans were nowhere to be found. White tie, top hat and tails was some change from my boyfriends usual t-shirt and jeans. admitted Diane Lepano, senior. It’s amazing how you can see people in a new light when they're wearing fancy clothes. In May, Lady Diana wasn’t the only Queen-in-Waiting. This prom had its own blonde queen, Cathy Parsons. Mike Shaggy, Prom King, expressed a com- monly held feeling, The even- ing was a lot of fun. The romantic aspect of the evening was highlighted by the playing of the Prom theme Through the Eyes of Love by East Coast. It was after the play- ing of this song that some cou- ples that came as just friends left as better friends. The only thing I hated about the Prom was that you had to kill your food before you ate it, ex- claimed Janette Jones, senior. The evening seemed to evoke a different mood. Joan Steiner, senior, expressed it by saying, For one night everyone seemed to like each other. Chivalry has a strange effect on people. 14 Junior Prom Some socializing is done by Brian Owen, Sean McNulty, and Lisa Za fonte before the buffet. As they arrive at the prom.

It’s that time again. September brought with it the end of those carefree summer nights and wonderful summer bar beques. Those relaxing days on the beach were replaced by the drudging of getting up at 6:00 a.m. and pushing yourself to school with half closed eyelids. This September in particular saw many changes. For the fresh men and sophomores it meant a challenge and perhaps a bit of a scare, a beginning to a new phase in their lives. For the juniors and seniors it was a return to a familiar place which did not look as famil- iar as they thought due to rearran- gements in the school. There were so many changes this year that I felt I was starting the whole process all over again, Nancy Kretschmann. senior, comment- ed. That the first week or so brought confusion for all students is no question. There were new rooms to locate and new routines to learn, although most were mer- ely temporary. One could tell by the hordes of students down in the guidance offices that a good per centage of the schedules were la- boriously being altered. Victor Chang, junior, stated. I expected my schedule to be wrong. It would have been a surprise if it turned out right. Much of the first week was spent filling out the usual forms: book receipts, copies of schedules for friends and. of course, the infamous Delaney cards. Those things are a pain in the neck.” Sherry Karmel, fresh- man, lamented. Right from the start, returning students could feel the changes which had occurred since they’d last been there. Homeroom had been switched so that it now took The Commons is once again crowded with students on the first day of school, as they talk to friends they haven't seen since June. place between first and second periods instead of the beginning of the day. Most students were not pleased with this new policy. Larry Abuhoff, senior, stated, It is stupid to have homeroom after first period. It encourages people to cut first period with the excuse that they slept late. Alternate School students found another change; their home base had been moved to downstairs where part of cafeteria A had been, cut- ting the cafeteria s size much to the bewilderment of many hunga ry scholars who had once made it their haven. But one thing all could probably agree on as being distinctly differ- ent was the crowdedness of the hallways due to the newly arrived freshmen. That was not the only big difference this year. This was the first year that Mr. Douglas Be- geal was the school's principal. It was indeed an auspicious begin- ning for the new administrator and everyone was very pleased with the fine job he did. With all the new changes, we were certainly off to an uncertain start, but, as often is the case, the horse a legnth behind ends up in the winner’s circle. One of the problems faced by freshmen and sophomores at the beginning of school is finding out that their locker has been stolen'' by an upperclassman.

Wait a minute. inter .upted Iris McNulty, senior. Why do they call it Dress Down Day instead of Dress Up Day? Well, we have come a long way. The tradition started with each of the four classes pouring enthusiasm and crea- tiveness into skits, costumes and food booths all related to a chosen theme. A noisy, colorful dance brought the school gym to life. (The Commons wasn't added until 1969.) After an evening of fun. which also included inaugurating the class offi- cers. a group of faculty members judged the classes by awarding points for each activity. The winning class was allowed for one day to deviate from the formal dress code and thus we now have Dress Down Day. In all the years I can recall. stated Mr. Clifford Mackin. Assistant Principal, the senior class had won the contest. It be- came an academic lesson in futility for the freshmen, sophomores and juniors. A de- cision was made by students and faculty to initiate Senior Dress Down Day. The date was moved to late October to incorporate the Halloween spirit, and a parade to Wood ward Parkway Elementary School bridged a gap between the young students and ven- erated seniors. It has become the seniors' privilege to leave school early afternoon and spend the day according to their lik- ings. Creativeness mounted in those twenty years as timely Mediterranean fruit flies buzzed about and Creatures from the Daler Lagoon attacked with loaded water pistols. Other strange sightings reported were a walking-talking-basketball hoop, five-foot tall Conair hair dryer, brush and comb as well as oversized Presidential Jelly Beans. Faculty and administration retained their active part by awarding a Dean's Award, prize for funniest, group recognition awards, etc. The spirit lived on as well, as seniors spent afternoon and evening busily prepar ing. Donna Dudek. jock-in- the-box ex- plained. Building Santa s sled was the har- dest part; yet it was all worth it. The name of the game was have fun. forget all inhibition and go for it! I think we had great participation this year. announced Ondine Stettner. Presidential Jelly Bean. But I don't want to see another jelly bean again. Accompanied by the Samurai Pep Band, the colorful parade greeted the elementary school students much to the excitement of both. The 1981 Dress Down Day was such a success that bubbling juniors could be heard discussing plans for next year. I can't wait until our turn. I’m already think ing about what to go as and with whom. blurted Mary Winterfeldt. junior. And the tradition goes on. Our own version of Beauty and the Beast — Paolo Scagliarini and La Se- nora de Perez. Minney and Mickey Mouse. Sue Ho- horst and Maureen Buckley, came all the way from Disneyland to join in the festivities. Dress Down Day 19 Behind The Scenes Picture a barren stage, costu- meless actors and actresses fumbling around in the dark. What would Oklahoma have been without the bails of hay, ears of corn and the marvelous musical score? Luckily we don't have to imagine because the hours of preparation contri- buted by the Livewires, Daler Pressman, Pit Band, cast and crew produced acclaimed re- sults, such as this year's Fall production of Rodger's and Hammerstein's Oklahoma. Master carpenter, Wayne Snyder, senior, initiated pro- duction. I had to interpret Ken Glric's flat designs, then as- signed jobs to the various crew members, stated Wayne. For weeks the crew’s lives were filled with drybrushing and splattering. The corn fields proved quite a hindrance to perfection. Crew members struggled to repaint the set amid the bustle of a dress re- hearsal. Simultaneously, an electric sewing machine running at full capacity was heard in the hall as Ken Glric, director, shouted instructions to the lighting crew on the catwalk. Props were assembled by Lynn Slonim, sophomore, who com- mented. It’s a demanding, yet rewarding responsibility to col- lect and distribute all the neces- sary equipment for the play. The major spotlight, playfully nicknamed Bertha, was cared for by Dave Falco, sophomore. ‘‘I treat Bertha well and she co- operates. stated Dave. Life ran smoothly until a set wouldn’t open, but extra hands were always ready. “When the equipment is operating, we know what we re doing and everything comes out great, most of the time,” confirmed Steven Wolk, junior, a member of the audio squad. In the final weeks choreogra- phy was perfected; audio was checked and the pit and cast finally work in perfect synchro- nization. Rehearsals lasted a grueling six to seven hours weekdays and ten hours on Saturdays and holidays: The hours are long, but the friendships you make and the fun you have is worth it,” explained Doreen Li- cursi, senior, crew member. As closing night neared and each contributor took pride in the finished product, there was a feeling of satisfaction on all faces and everyone knew coo- peration made it happen. 20 Play Preparation Deep in concentration, a nervous Larry Abuhoff studies the musical score to ' All Er Nothin' .

Oklahoma OKI As the last notes of the overture rang through the auditorium and the curtain rose, a powerful tenor voice could be heard singing “Oh what a beautiful morning!” Cheers came from the audience as Curly, Glenn White, senior, walked onto the stage. The performance seemed to be off to a perfect start except for one small problem- —Curly was unable to open the fence! Without losing his cool, our hero thought quickly and climbed over the fence as though nothing had happened. What could have been a omen turned into a favor- able sign as the audience seemed to respond to the incident with en- thusiasm. Oklahoma was off to a winning, if unusual, start. For those watching the show it was a thoroughly enjoyable even- ing. But what was it like to be on the performing side of this theater experience? Larry Abuhoff, a sen- ior who played Will Parker, relat- ed, “I was extremely nervous. You don’t know what people will think; you are your own worst critic.” Liz Follett, senior, who played the lead, Laurie, commented, You must be on stage to experience what the audience is like; you can play up to that.” Despite the nervousness and precurtain jitters, for most cast members Oklahoma was a re- warding experience. I felt such a closeness with everyone in the play, especially on the nights we performed. There’s a certain elec tricity in the air before a perfor- mance which really makes every- one very close to each other. There is nothing like it, Sue Kes- tenbaum, junior, explained. It is this very closeness that the Playcrafters feel for each other which made closing night all the more difficult. Jeanine Ingrassia, junior, said, There is something very special about closing night. We all know it is the last time we will all perform together. It’s a very emotional experience to go on the stage knowing that, and it can be very upsetting, but as they say It is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.’ The romantic dance sequence proved to be a very dramatic one as well.

Students straggled in and threw themselves into their seats. The teacher slammed an iron hand down on his desk to end all other activities. Notebooks opened, texts arose. All attention focused on factoring some obscure bunch of numbers. My attention wandered elsewhere. A bag of M M’s cleverly sand- wiched inside some kid's notebook held a magical lure for me. As the teacher droned on about the prophecies of Pythagoras, a hungry hand silently reached out, fingers desperately pushing and probing to reach that all important bag of M M s. Going without breakfast can drive anyone to desperation. The M M's dangled just beyond my reach. So close, yet so far..... It was not the passing bell that sent me swiftly out of the room. It was hunger—quickening, crazed hunger. I popped gum from a girls purse, stole Starbursts from some hapless fool's back pocket, snatched a Snickers from an unsuspecting sophomore, when suddenly it hit me—I was a junk food junkie. I needed a fix desperately! I frantically searched the halls for the neighborhood supplier, one of those Angels of Mercy selling candy bars for some teacher's Abscond-to-Florida fund. A soda, a pretzel. Some- thing, anything! Nothing could be found. From the dim annals of my memory, a quote came to me and I yelled through the commons, My kingdom for a Coke! No response. I huddled in a corner and closed my eyes, visions of Doritos dancing in my head. I could almost here the Devil whispering in my ear, Give me your eternal soul and the cafeteria is yours! Desperately I darted to the cafeteria and pawned my soul for a bagel, a bag of potato chips and a fruit drink. So what if I needed the money for my elderly grandmother's hernia operation? She'd get over it. I just needed the fix because I'm .... a junk food junkie!! Renaissance It began with caution. The idea was planted. Slowly, plans ex- panded, and before long we were experiencing a Renaissance of school spirit. Homecoming week end was becoming a reality. In addition to the traditional Green and White Day, the Pep Ral- ly and Homecoming Dance were added. (In reality this was just a revitalization of a tradition sus- pended 20 years ago.) Most stu- dents were optimistic and viewed this as a sign of things to come. “I think this signals a rebirth of school enthusiasm long awaited in Farmingdale. It shouldn't have been this long in the coming.” Jackie Mosca, senior, proclaimed. Green and White Day started the weekend as green and white- clad students hurried around pur- chasing matching carnations at 75 cents each. There wasn’t one car- nation unpurchased by third peri- od, only broken stems lying hap- hazardly in the halls. On November 6, the 1:35 bell rang, setting the student body free to participate in the pep rally held seventh and eighth periods. 87.22 tons of uniformed football players were cheered on as they pounced through a huge loop. The March- ing Band, Dalerettes, cheer- leaders. and gymnastic team helped the crowd become enthusi- astic. Andres Gomez, the winner of the chocolate and banana cream pie eating contest, was in- debted to the Girls’ Leaders Club for their luscious contribution. “I just entered the apple dunking contest with Jerry Clinton to add to the spirit. I never guessed we would win!” exclaimed Patty Rod- gers, senior. The celebrating continued that evening at the Homecoming Dance, Farmingdale’s first in sev- eral years. Once again the Com- mons was crowded with enthusi- astic students as the King, Queen, (continued) Despite the fact that they lost, everyone was proud of our football team for giving such a valiant effort.

The dance floor was crowded as everyone moved to the beat of the Rhythm Dukes, that hip teacher s band. The evening was a success as Lucy Crosby, sophomore, com- mented, It was a great evening and I can’t wait for future dances. The spirit was growing strong. The culmination of the week end was the football team's most important game of the season against Massapequa High School. The team struggled valiantly in the bitter cold and cutting winds but couldn’t muster its past power and suffered its only loss of the season. We'll get them next year, Frank Soldano, junior, opti- mistically exclaimed. The football team, cheering squads and fans will continue to pull until we can say Farmingdale is number one.

Homecoming 29 The preppy look is epitomized here by The all-American boy Glenn White here Dorothy Lohnau. displays the collegiate look. One of the more unique fashions was Mew Wave, worn here by Anthony Rocanello. 30 Fashion It's All A Matter Of Style 4 Despite the growing popularity of the saying, Save an alligator— eat a Preppy, the preppies con- tinued to endure this year. Howev- er, all the new styles which have lately appeared around school are nothing at all like the conservative preppy look. Attention-getting was definitely this year’s theme. The return of the miniskirt was one of this year’s biggest surprises. The ap- pearance of knickers, camouflage outfits, metallic accessories and big ruffles had heads turning. Gold belts, handbags, headbands, and shoes were particularly popular, teamed with black for one of this year’s biggest color combinations. Almost every style available was seen: Spikes and flats, tight and baggy jeans, hemlines above and below the knee. Anything goes seemed to be the motto. This year, more than ever, a definite emphasis was put on style and fashion, Angelina Mauro, senior, observed. Aside from many of the more flashy styles, alligator shirts, ar- gyle socks, Cheenos, buttondown collars and plaid shirts were still part of the most obvious fashion craze—the Preppy look. Even many of the local anti-preps could be seen wearing such attire as crewneck sweaters and topsiders. Perhaps the biggest surprise of all was that this year boys actual- ly joined the fashion craze. It was not unusual to see a boy dressed In a tie and blazer when a few years ago it would have been a rarity. The girls didn’t seem to mind either. I find it so much more attractive when a guy is well-dressed and takes pride in his appearance than when he dresses like a schlep,’’ Shanni Reine, ju- nior, stated. No matter what group a person belonged to, the main objective for many was to bust loose and stand out from the crowd. Individ- ualism was the key to fashion and everyone joined the craze. The snappy dressing of Kirk Lindo and Bernard Smith had a cosmopolitan air about it. Mo. he’s not the American Gigilo: he's Angelo Lotona. seen here wearing his suave European attire. Fashion 31 One fad which arose this year was the big legwarmer craze shown here by Sue Ma son. Cowboy boots were a very popular fashion feature this year Marcy Fishman found them very versatile She could wear them with pants or. as seen here, with a skirt. 32 Fashion Magazine Once Upon A Time 33 Taking A Firm Stand Threats are one matter, but carry- ing them out is another. No one held back in the hot summer month of August when tempers rose in the bit- ter clash between the defiant PATCO members, the President and the Law. The Professional Air Traffic Control- lers Organization began its illegal strike for more money, a shorter workweek, earlier retirement and several lesser items; terms that would have cost the government $681 million in the first year if met. Hoping to cripple the nation's vast airtransport system, the 15,000 members were ordered to strike and to brave massive fines, contempt-of- court orders and in some cases, jail- ing. President Reagan stated, “Damn it, the law is the law,” and was not about to soften up. Twelve thousand union members stayed out after the ultimatum, to get back to work or be fired, was declared—a threat that Reagan promptly carried out. The FAA gathered a substitute gang of supervisors, non-strikers and military controllers to man towers as four out of five controllers were absent from their posts. Fifty percent of the the air traffic was operating at that time, but through the first week of the strike, it increased to nearly 75% schedule norm. Carrying out the threats involved with the strike hurt airline agencies as well as others indi- rectly involved. It will take almost two years for the FAA to regain full operating efficiency, although it was found that the system was over- staffed by 3,500 controllers. Disaster Strikes A dance at the Hyatt Regency attended by 1500 people for the renewal of the fox trot was brought to an abrupt end when the sky began to fall. The hotel was con- structed in such a way that there were skywalks above a central dance floor. As the party progressed, many people began to dance on the walks, which couldn’t han- dle the stress and gave way. The structure fell on the lobby floor below and caused a catastrophe which was listed as the worst disaster in Kansas City. 111 people were found dead and 190 injured. justice For Females The most exclusive men's club was toppled early in July 1981 by President Reagan’s hand. Fulfilling his campaign pledge, the President ap- pointed Sandra O’Connor to the Su- preme Court. After 191 years and 101 male justices, justice was finally ren- dered to females. It is with much delib- eration that any person is chosen for one of the nine esteemed positions. Aside from being a woman, Sandra O’Connor was known as, in the Ari- zona State Senate, having a pro-abor- tion voting record, and New Right ac- tivists were very alarmed upon hear- ing that she was being considered. Telegrams to the White House ran nearly ten to one against her nomina- tion, but based on her legislative re- cord, the case against her was weak. President Reagan selected her despite opposition, easing the resentment of women unhappy over the lack of high- level female appointees in the Execu- tive Branch. Speaking at a Chicago fundraiser the evening after he had se- lected O’Connor, President Reagan said the appointment was a very hap- py day for me and I hope for our coun- try. The female population thought so too. Some photographs in the Magazine courtesy of Wide-World Photo 34 Magazine Hi-Lites Tragedy Inspires Heroism Tragedy literally struck Washing- ton. In January, Air Florida’s Flight 90 to Florida struck the 14th Street Bridge and plunged into the icy Poto- mac River. The cause was disputed, but it was generally accepted that terrible weather conditions combined with ice on the wings precipitated the crash. Out of 79 passengers, there were five survivors. Four deaths from car passengers being decapitat- ed or having plunged to their deaths from the bridge brought the mortality total to 78. Rescue helicopters ho- vered dangerously close to the ice. (trying to throw life lines to the few survivors.) Most passengers died im- mediately as the main cabin sunk be neath the surface. The tail end or fuselage remained on top of the ice, and it was here that the survivors managed to remain afloat. Lenny Skutnik, 28, plunged into the river and brought a drowning woman close enough to shore to be rescued. Skutnik was just one of the heroes on the scene. The most dramatic and selfless effort was demonstrated by an unidentified passenger who re- peatedly gave the life line to another. When the helicopter finally came back for him, he had sunk beneath the waves. In a mass casuality you’ll find people like him, said a rescuer, but I’ve never seen one man with that much commitment. Although this was a terrible tragedy, the nation had the privilege to wit- ness examples of sheer heroism and selflessness. It was a renewal of faith in the ability of man to help man. A Walkout That Meant The Game ON I «CE-0IJT THE Baseball I Strike I The summer of '81 was not filled with exciting innings, broken records or even play-by-play coverage. Instead. America struggled to pass the time without its national pastime, baseball. The strike was an act of defiance against the American people in the opinion of one fan annoyed that he couldn't enjoy watching his favorite sport. Aside from the loss of national spirit, there were more serious matters to consider. The strike threw literally thousands of stadium workers out of work. It made no distinctions; venders and ushers, as well as 650 players, found themselves out of a job. The sentiments of one fan were that if the Soviet Union had invaded and installed a puppet government in Washington, one could not imagine a more pro- foundly un-American summer. The particulars of the strike basical- ly revolved around the old push and shove of player freedom versus owner control. When both sides finally came to their senses and the strike had end- ed, not much of the season remained. Age-old tradition had to be broken to help the sport into and through its sea- son. The season structure was altered to fit everything in, including the World Series, before time ran out. As one writer noticed. The charm was a little slow in returning. The Unknown Becomes Known Faster than a speeding bullet, much smaller than a locomotive, able to take pictures where no life is found—It’s, it’s . . . Voyager II! NASA’s latest space probe made the front page again in Sep- tember when it finally approached the planet Saturn. Launched back in Au- gust of 1977 to give us a glimpse of our solar system. Voyager II surveyed Sat- urn. probably the most important part of its mission. It was able to photograph the previously unseen bright side of the planet before malfunctioning. While on the dark side of the rings, one of its moveable instrument platforms jammed. Fortunately, this area had been photographed by its predecessor. Voyager I. Many hypotheses formed from information acquired during the previous space probes exploration were disproved as a result of Voyager Il’s sur- vey. Still others were reinforced and many questions were brought one step closer toward being answered. The con- tinuing success of the space probe serves to emphasize the value of plan- etary exploration as one of man s high- est technological achievements. Magazine Hi Lites 35 The Effect Of Reaganomics Prime interest rates, consumer price index, unemployment rate”-all are complicated terms creating compli- cations within the (J.S. ecomony. On January 20, 1981, Ronald Reagan stood on the steps of the Capitol and assured Americans that he would bring our runaway economy to a screeching halt. But one year later, were we any better off? The answer from most Americans was No! While inflation was still dou- ble digit, unemployment continued to rise, and the stock market fell. The President presented a revolutionary pro- gram of New Federalism to the coun- try to solve the problems. To the average senior this new pro- gram was devastating because it direct- ly affected his life after he graduated. Federal loans for college-bound seniors were cut significantly, which made it almost impossible to obtain money for college. It seemed that you had to either be very rich or very poor to attend school. This move by the President led many seniors to look into an alternative means of education. Local recruiters from the armed forces reported a sharp Wedding Of The Century Viewed by more than eight million people around the world, the royal wed- ding of Britain’s Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spenser, took place on July 29. 1981. Preparations for this event began long before Prince Charles officially an- nounced his engagement in February. Weavers, designers, choir boys, and ba- kers went to work immediately to pre- pare for the wedding. The style of the bride's gown was one of Britain’s best kept secrets. The wedding cake had to be prepared for the 1 p.m. Wedding Breakfast, and Lady Diana's wedding band, fashioned from the same wedge of Welsh gold from which Queen Eliza- beth's had been formed, needed to be created, also. On the eve of the wed ding, there was a spectacular fireworks display, the biggest in two centuries. The display commenced as Prince Charles lit the first of 102 bonfires, a chain of beacons that glowed across England. The wedding procession started as Queen Elizabeth left Buckingham Pal- ace with the rest of the royal family following in their coaches. Lady Diana left Clarence House and traveled down Fleet Street to St. Pauls Cathedral, as her beautiful gown was spied by the crowd of British observers. Prince Charles was accompanied by his broth- ers, Prince Andrew and Prince Edward, who supported him in lieu of having a best man. The ceremony was followed by the Breakfast at Buckingham Palace, where the royal family made several balcony appearances. The story book tale came to a close, though, as the newlyweds departed for their honeymoon; for Charles and Diana, it was only the begin- ning. Unwelcomed Guests Mediterranean fruit flies bore down upon California without warning and in- fested the fruit crops while California farmers fought valiantly to save the pro- duce. The flies caused a quarantine of over 3,000 square miles, a number which had to be increased as time went on. Based on the experience of coun- tries where the Medfly was a persistent foe—Spain, Italy, Israel, Chile and parts of Africa—(J.S. farm losses could total billions of dollars each year. Japan re- quired that imported (J.S. fruit had to be fumigated or put in cold storage even though an insecticide, malathion, was being sprayed on the crops to destroy infestations. Even Governor Jerry Brown was hurt by criticism of his han- dling of the crisis as polls showed his fall in popularity. jump in inquiries about educational op- portunities. The R.O.T.C. Scholarship Service reported a similar increase. This trend was seen in most scholarship pro- grams across the nation. Despite the bleak forecasts by econo- mists, there was one man who contin- ued to pledge that his programs would triumph. After one year in office, Ronald Reagan still saw brighter days ahead. But he had one more group to answer to at the polls, and it consisted of seniors. After his spree with the budget ax, Rea- gan had cause to worry that the group would retaliate come November. 36 Magazine Hi Lites Columbia Space Shuttle The Second Time Around The nation forgot its economic and social troubles for awhile in November when the space shuttle Columbia once again made history. The first space ship to be utilized a second time, its manned flight marked the beginning of a new age. when travel into space will be as feasible as flying to Europe. On this, its second mission, the Co- lumbia proved to be a durable piece of machinery, despite the malfunction of a fuel cell which cut the voyage short. During the journey, astronauts Engle and Truly were able to complete ninety percent of their work before the landing at Edward's Air Force Base in Califor- nia. They also tested the mobile arm, which in the future will be able to eject and retrieve scientific devices in space. The shuttle is expected to be used to deploy and maintain satellites for both commercial firms and the military. New products will also be created in the weightlessness of space. The future seems bright for the shuttle which is expected to be making regular runs by 1985. Canadian Weather Cools Spirits If you thought it was a cold winter, you were right. In fact, it was one of the coldest of the century. Throughout the nation, record low temperatures were recorded, and people from Minne- sota to Florida felt the frost. It was a season of many weather- related deaths. In cities across the country, there were reports of people who froze to death as a result of inad- equate home heating. There were also accidents and deaths stemming from pure ignorance, such as venturing out- side during a storm, being hurt by fall- ing objects, or overexposure to the harsh elements. The bad weather also created eco- nomic difficulties in Florida, and most of the Midwest. In Florida, the frost destroyed 30 percent of the state's cit- rus crop, thereby crippling her major industry. In the Midwest, ranchers were severely hurt because of the lack of grain to feed their cattle. As a result, many cattle were lost. Meteorologists blamed the cold spell on an abnormal pattern in the jetstream, a high wind which brings cold air down from Canada. It was ex- pected that the phenomenon would last throughout March. Call Them Handi-Capable The enthusiasm was unbelievable. He was only a crosscountry walker, but the herds of people that crowded along the roadside and cheered him on were miraculous. His name was Terry Fox, a handicapped athlete, who. like his 43 million (international) disabled compan- ions, pushed forward to increase aware- ness of the disabled person. 1981 was the International Year of the Disabled Person, and throughout the country, those who overcame personal hardships were recognized and honored. Businesses and schools became increas- ingly aware of handicapped people. Col- lege catalogs advertised their special campus provisions for disabled stu- dents. and public areas installed ramps, lowered telephones, and adapted res- trooms for wheelchairs. Disabled Ameri- cans invaded the media, in the form of handicapped groups climbing moun- tains, both those on the map and in the human spirit. The most important development for the disabled is not tangible. The general acceptance and absence of pity com- bined with a warm feeling of sympathy are the goals that have been reached. Terry Fox made the country start with a sudden awareness that the disabled aren't handicapped, but handicapable! 37 Inter County Shopping Center Giving Farmingdale A Facelift The Inter-County Shopping Center located off Carmans Road acquired a new look shortly after its change of ownership. In September, reconstruc- tion of the facades of the stores and establishments had begun, and the whole parking area was repaved. Many of the buildings had been vacat- ed, including the one where the ASP had previously been located, and no new merchants had occupied the available spots. The poor appearance of the center, including the numerous and massive potholes in the parking lot, were part of the problem. The new owner personally invested the money necessary for renovation in order to stimulate business. His reasoning was that the more aestheticly pleasing ap- pearance would make the shopping center more appealing for both shop- pers and prospective merchants. He also closed off the entrance to the shopping center from Route 110 so that it might be safer for pedestrians. Carmans Road itself underwent ex- tensive improvements during the sum- mer. Sidewalks were formed where there was previously just dirt, and a cement divider was constructed at the intersection of Carmans Road and Main Street. The road was paved after the sewers were installed, and bright yellow double lines down the middle marked its completion. Long Island Wins After two months of a long attempted takover battle, LTV, the Dallas-based conglomerate, dropped its $450 million bid to buy the Long Island-based Grum- man Corporation. The cause of the con- flict was LTV's interest in the merging of the two military contractors, an inter- est that Grumman did not share. The cost of Grumman's anti-LTV campaign was estimated at $1.5 million. The Grumman purchase of its own stock, an illegal tactic, was one of the primary causes for LTV's defeat. Because Grum- man was a major employer on Long Island, its control by a firm with com- mitments to the Dallas area was per- ceived as a detriment to the local econo- my. Hardscrabble Fair Come Rain Or Shine . . . Rain couldn't prevent people from attending the Hardscrabble Fair on May 16th, or from having their usual fun. The festivites had always attract ed participants of all ages, and the sights and aromas of the fair enticed them back year after year. This year tradition was altered as the central area of booths was moved from the Village Green to where the Main Street School once stood. But the familiar sight of the bandstand at the end of Main Street surrounded by eager lis- teners was just the same, no matter what amateur group was performing at the time. There were long lines in the front of the entrances to the Haunt- ed House and Lunar Walk in the park- ing lot. and Main Street looked like a long crowded flea market until . . . the rain came. The stores and shops were attacked by the crowds as if Main Street were having a going-out-of-busi- ness sale. Vendors on the sidewalks threw sheets of plastic over their mer- chandise and some packed up to leave. Even some of the townspeople deserted the area because of what was to prove to be only a cloud burst. It didn’t dampen spirits, though; those who stayed continued to have a great time. 38 Magazine Long Island Renowned as the state’s Master Builder, Robert Moses contributed more than anyone else to shape the face of New York. During his 92 years, this engineer wore a web of roads and parkways throughout the metropolitan area, connected New York City’s five boroughs with bridges and tunnels, and enhanced Long Island's natural beauty with miles of man- made beaches and parks. On July 29, the man left us, but his genius still remains. Sh«M si, ,Jmiii Magazine Long Island 39 Falklands On a peaceful island in the south Atlantic, a major confrontation be- tween Britain and Argentina arose. It all began when Argentina forcefully took over the British held islands. Bri- tain reacted by launching the largest armada since W.W. II to secure sover- eignty over the island. After the British fleet reached the islands, an Argentine cruiser and a British destroyer were sunk, and planes and helicopters on both sides were lost. The world waited to see if the conflict would develope into a full-scale war. Picking Up The Pieces Where Carter felt inclined to leave off, Reagan was eager to continue, as production started on the neutron bomb in August 1981. Protests from peace factions and European politi- cal leaders convinced the Carter Ad- ministration to only manufacture the components of the weapons in 1977- 8. However, there was a feeling at high levels in the Reagan Administra- tion that Europeans dependent on (J.S. power for their defense should not shape Pentagon policies. Thus, the warheads were made and stock- piled in the United States, the quanti- ty reflecting European willingness to deploy them. The “advantages'' of the neutron bomb included its high radioactive yield and relatively limit- ed explosive power, signifying that buildings and population centers would not be affected. The major concern still lay with our allies, though as one official concluded. The real test here is one of Western political will. Dying For A Cause We are not criminals. This is war, stated John Hunter, a former I.R.A. prisoner. This idea was the driving motive behind the hunger strikes that started at Maze Prison, where nine men died for a cause in which they believed, and spurred spontaneous riots throughout North- ern Ireland. The strikes were under- taken by men like Bobby Sands, who, imprisoned, refused to be treat ed like common criminals. They be lieved that they were political prison- ers caught in the struggle between Britain and the I.R.A. and that they should be treated as such. Prime Min- ister Thatcher wouldn't grant this status because it would not only ac knowledge the struggle but also re- present a compromise with terror- ism. 40 Magazine World Unrest Intervention El Salvador was swept up in a rev- olutionary fervor which threatened United States' supremacy in Central America. Inside the tiny country, a civil war was stirring which pitted Communist backed rebels against the ruling junta, backed by the Unit- ed States. Reagan’s foreign policy had been to create a quick-fix mili- tary solution to existing problems. Because of fear of another Vietnam, he reconsidered his position and was thought to most likely refuse further American intervention in the Central American government. An Uncertain Future Phone lines were cut, and travel was restricted. Troops were sent into the streets and Prime Minister Jam- zelski instituted martial law in Po- land. Within a few hours the entire society was utterly paralyzed, a des- perate step with disastrous implica tions for both political sides in Po- land. Walesa, leader of the Solidarity Party, knew that anything more than passive resistance on the part of the movement would have triggered a Soviet invasion; however, a complete strike was threatened. Although American economic assistance was suspended from Jaruzelski’s regime, the Polish Government had Soviet ‘support’’ in full strength. Not only were Poland’s newly-won civil rights destroyed, but also the fragile mak ings of the partnership among church, state and union that was needed to clear up the troublesome economic problems. Ready To Kill rhroughout the year, actions tak by Israel, Syria, the United States j the Soviet Union have turned the idle East into one of the major M spots’ in the world. During ne. Israel sent its planes over Iraq, iming to have prevented her from ilding a nuclear bomb by destroy- I her nuclear reactors. As a warn- ing, Syria displayed very sophisticat- ed anti aircraft missies along the Le- banese border. Annoyed that she was deprived of watching Lebanon, Israel claimed that she would retaliate. The United States wanted to solve these problems diplomatically, but war was in the air. Magazine World Unrest 41 Struggle At The Top 1981 witnessed the emergence of John McEnroe as the number one ten- nis player in the world after the defeat of his taciturn arch rival Bjorn Borg. McEn- roe was able to beat Borg in the majority of their matches and proved himself at Wimbledon, where he won the title that Borg had held for the last five years. Wimbledon, the most renowned tennis tournament, is the final showdown of the top players, and its winner is usually considered to be the best. McEnroe at- tained this status by scoring 4-6, 7-6, 7 6. and 6-4 with Borg. It was Chris Evert- Lloyd's third time as number one at la dies' tennis. She easily won at Wimble- don against Hana Mandlikova. Lloyd was her old self again and dominated most of the major women s tourna ments in 1981. Tales Of The Unexpected It shouldn't have happened that way. but then again, how many things hap pen the way they are supposed to hap- pen? Who would have expected the San Francisco 49ers to win Super Bowl XVII? At first glance, several NFL coaches, as well as most of the fans watching the game, picked the Cincin- nati Bengals to win the Superbowl. Their reasoning was that, overall, the Bengals had better talent and had prov- en themselves during the regular sea son. In response to this argument, the 49ers responded that they had some- thing not seen on paper but felt out on the field. It was a feeling of unity. With these vibes the 49ers were able to ex- ecute flashy plays, both defensively and offensively, which left the Bengals won- dering where the ball was. Through the expert leadership of the 49ers' coaching staff and quarterback, Joe Montana, they were able to dominate the game from beginning to end. When the clock finally ticked off the remaining seconds, the 49ers had come out ahead by the score of 26-21, which seemed to indi- cate a much closer game than really took place. Through this surprising vic- tory. the 49ers exemplified the meaning of the word teamwork'' John McEnroe Hockey Scores High The New York Islanders, the home- town favorites, shone brightly and beautifully again this year! The Island- ers won their second consecutive Stanley Cup after a fantastic season. They defeated the Toronto Maple Leafs to start off the 1981 playoff sea- son. In the semi-final round, the Island- ers encountered their arch rivals, the New York Rangers, and proceeded to crush them in four straight games. This led to the final round against the Minnesota North Stars, which ended in a 4-1 victory and the second straight Stanley Cup. But the Islanders didn’t stop there. During the 1981 season they went on to beat the 14 game win- ning streak held by the Boston Bruins for 52 years. On Saturday, February 20. 1982. with 47 seconds left in the game. John Tonelli let go a screeching slapshot from Bryan Trottier and Mike McEwen, and the rest is history! The Islanders went down in the record books with a 15 game winning streak. The Islanders weren't the only ones to break records. Wayne Gretzky broke Maurice Richard's record of 50 goals in 50 games and Phil Esposito’s record of 76 goals in a season. All around, it was an earth shattering year in hockey! 42 Maqazme Sports How Sweet It Is In the history of our national pas- time, the 1981 baseball season will stand out as a season of firsts. Due to the strike, the sport had a split-season format. The league champions, deter- mined at the playoffs between the win ners of each season, were selected to participate at the World Series. It was argued that this system did not allow the deserving teams to compete, but the Yankees and Dodgers couldn't dis- agree more. The Dodgers, in particu- lar, were determined to regain their pride after losing to the Yankees in the 1978 series. However, the Yankees were not about to acquiesce, and the opening night game was won with a score of 5-3. Losing the second game 0-3, the Dodgers had reason to worry as 79 percent of previous teams that had won the first two games of the series went on to win the champion- ship title. Existing fears soon vanished as the Dodgers proceeded to win games numbered three, four, and five; 5-4. 8-7, and 2-1 respectively. With a 3- 2 game advantage, the Dodgers trav- eled to the home of the New York Yan- kees to continue to win the pennant, with a 9-2 victory on that last night. To the Dodgers, it seemed as if they were not only the World Series champions, but also the World Champions of 1981. Second Time Winners Put Up Your Dukes The past year saw a tremendous in- crease in the spectators attending the age old sport of boxing. It was not only an interest in the sport that drew fans but also the style and personality of the fighters. This year witnessed the come- backs of Joe Frazier and Mohammed Ali. They weren't the classic fighters of the days of yore, but ragtag old men fighting nobodies, and in Ali's case, los- ing everything except their dreams. Ali is still dreaming of one day regaining his heavyweight title and earning immortal- ity, which most fans agree he has al ready achieved. Another fighter with charisma was Sugar Ray Leonard who was able to make himself a celebrity and a house- hold word. During the year he also made himself sole possessor of the combined WBA-WBC welter weight title when he defeated Tommy Hearns. After this vic- tory. Leonard decided to set even higher goals for himself and strove to capture the middleweight crown. Sugar Ray was able to capture the public's eye with his energetic demea- nor often displayed vividly in his inter- views. Because of the way he handled himself, he was asked to commentate on ABC’s Wide World of Sports and did exceptionally well. He was also seen ad- vertising Seven-Lip with his son. As any- one can see, it was the personalities that made boxing stand out as a spectator sport. Magazine Sports 43 Reel Immortals This year the acting profession lost some of its most brilliant stars. Jack Albertson, Natalie Wood. William Hold en and actor teacher Lee Strassberg died. Their contributions to acting will be recognized for many years to come, and film will always keep them alive and well. Lee Strassberg's influence can be seen on the faces of Jane Fonda and Paul Newman as they use Strassberg's methods of acting. For the first time Strassberg told actors to get in touch with themselves before playing type'' roles. Strassberg coached actors to find similarities be tween themselves and characters and evoke those mutual sympathies to the audience. Drowned in a freak accident. Natalie Wood left behind highly emotional and controversial movies. She often played the role of a girl who helped a man break the bounds of society, as in Rebel Without A Cause, and in the process found herself. In West Side Story, she played a beautifully vulner- able Puerto Rican girl, her liquid brown eyes speaking eloquently. He was best man at President Rea gan's wedding. William Holden, one of the most versatile actors who ever hit Hollywood, died of a heart attack. He starred in such acclaimed films as Bridge Over River Kwai. Sunset Bou- levard and The Wild Bunch. Silvery hair and care-worn visage were the familiar trademarks of Jim Davis, alias Jock Ewing, of Dallas. As the level headed, hard-drinking, lock- jawed patriarch of the Ewing dynasty, Davis helped bring the show tremen- dous popularity. Popularity came too late in Davis life and made his demise all the more tragic. Jack Albertson was best known as the crochety, grumpy old man with a heart of gold in Chico and the Man. He also starred in Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and The Sunshine Boys. His dry humor and gruff tone endeared him to audiences of all ages. These five actors have gained an immortality only achieved on the screen and proved the theory once a star is born, he can never die. 44 Maqafine Obituaries Fighting For Their Dreams Anwar Sadat and Moshe Dayan had more in common than most people would think. They both dreamt that someday, somehow, Jews and Arabs would live together in peace. With of- ten unpopular political stances, the two farsighted politicians fought for their beliefs about what the Middle East could be like without war. Throughout his career Moshe Dayan both captured the public's imagination and aroused its ire. To Americans he personified Israeli mili- tary prowess. In the Arabic world he was regarded with fear and awe. Dayan was a contradiction; he pre- ferred the company at Sinai Bedouins to the extent that Golda Meir sneered, that Arab, and yet he would fight furiously against any infringement on Israel. Dayan’s character was often analyzed but few really knew him. He was described by David Ben-Gurin as “a loner-an incomparably brave and courageous soldier, but a loner.” Anwar Sadat was a man of great political intelligence. Kissinger called his underestimation of Sadat one of his greatest miscalculations. Sadat was generally described as a person of rare political and personal talent. He was best known for his incredible patience and existential detachment. At the Camp David negotiations Sadat over- came incredible political obstacles, be cause for him. peace was para- mount”. In 1978, Sadat shared the Nobel Peace Prize with Menachem Begin. The world was surprised by Sadat's willingness to break Arab taboos about Israel and set a greater precedent by recognizing Israel's territorial and po- litical integrity”. Both Anwar Sadat and Moshe Dayan embodied a spirit of courage and flexibility never before seen in the Middle East. Their deaths were a loss to their respective coun- tries and to the world as a whole. These men had shaped the course of history. The Man And His Music He was an excellent singer and an extraordinary man who tried to help people throughout the world with his music. Harry Chapin was one of Long Island's most prominent folk and rock composers, and when he died this sum- mer in an automobile accident, it was a shock not only to his fans but also to the world. During Chapin’s career, which included such hits as Taxi and Cat in the Cradle , he organized and appeared in many free concerts for causes such as a Campaign against World Hunger. He will be missed not only for his musical contributions but also for the kind of caring person he was. The Echo Of Laughter Let us entertain you; let us make you smile! Paul Lynde, Murray (the K) Kaufman, and John Belushi had the tal- ent to put a smile on any and every face. Paul Lynde was best known for his sarcastic yet gentle humor. He ap- peared in both the movie and play ver- sions of Bye Bye Birdie, had his own short-lived television show and starred in Temperature's Rising and Be- witched. also for T.V. He was perhaps best known for his weekly appearance on the game show Hollywood Squares, where he sat in the prominent center position. Nearly all teenages were familiar with the comedian-musician John Belushi. He was best known for his role in Satur- day Night Live, where he was an inte- gral part of the cast. Some of his most famous skits were The Blues Brothers and Samurai. The Blues Brothers went on to record an album Briefcase Full of Blues, which became a best seller. He also made numerous movies of which the most popular was National Lam poon’s Animal House and was current ly helping to write the comedy Noble Rat when he died. Known in the 60s and 60 s as one of the top disc jockeys on the radio.

Once again, General Hospital was in front as the favorite soap opera, espe dally among students. Adults as well tuned in to see the end of the Ice Prin- cess plot, Liz Taylor s debut in daytime T.V., and the wedding. The marriage of Luke and Laura, the most anticipated show, was telecast November 16 and 17. This episode went into the record books as the most watched episode of any soap opera. Two other weddings took place. On One Life to Live. Samantha Vernon and Asa Buchanon tied the knot, along with Jenny Vernon and Peter Jansen. Howev- er, Sam and Asa soon separated when Asa’s first wife suddenly appeared in Landview. Meanwhile. All My Children fans learned the identity of Sybil Thorn’s murderer and were relieved when Nina Cortlandt discovered that Monique was actually her mother, Daisy. Soaps, such as Guiding Light. Search The year's biggest success was Raid- ers of the Lost Ark. It containad no deep message of political statement, but plenty of old fashion thrills and sus- pense. Mommie Dearest, a film that was intended to be taken seriously, turned out to be one of the funniest films of the year. Students howled as Mommy threatened, “No more wire hangers! Arthur was this year’s most successful comedy. The drunken witti- ness and jocularity of Dudley Moore as Arthur provided some of the funniest scenes of film in years. For lump-in-the- throat sentimentality as well as some clever humor. On Golden Pond was the best bet. Veteran screen legends Henry Fonda and Katherine Hepburn turned in touching and poignant performances. Reds was a movie of epic proportions which proved to be a big hit.

Emmy, Tony. Grammy These family members, these related names, were not those of a few youngsters and their grandmothers; rather, they be longed to the family of performing arts awards. Those flashy award-presenting spectacles were chock full of produc- tion numbers and humorous emcees who were forever squinting to find the cue cards. The giving of these prestigous awards could be viewed periodically on the T.V. screen. The Academy Awards (the Os- cars) and the Golden Globe Awards are presented to those in the motion pic- tures industry. The 1981 Golden Globe show proclaimed Raiders of the Lost Ark as the top movie of that year and Robert DeNiro and Sissy Spacek as best actor and actress. The Emmy awards were given to the cream of the crop in television. The big- gest winner in this area was Hill Street Blues which cleaned up with eight Emmys despite the irony of bad Neilson ratings! In light of its excessive accumu- lation of Emmys, the network decided to keep it on the air where it soon be- came number one in the ratings. The Tony awards went to the stars on Broadway, such as Lauren Bacall for best actress in her musical Woman of the Year which won best original score. Awards were also won by 42nd Street and Amadeus for best musical and best dramatic play, respectively. The program which until 1970 was called The Best on Record'' was soon known as the Grammy Awards and hon- ored giants in the recording industry. The year’s 24th annual telecast of the ceremonies enabled viewers to see Sheena Easton. Rick Springfield, Al Jar reau and Lena Horne, among others, walk away with the cute little gold gra mophones for their musical prowess.

The People’s Choice Awards claims to award performers that were chosen by the public, but many stu- dents thought that they did not repre sent their views. Doubts arose as to the validity of the award process because few students knew of anyone who had been asked to vote. But certainly any student hoping to enter the entertain- ment field would have had to admit. Hey, I wouldn't mind having one of those babies on my shelf!!! Tuning In The NBC peacock laid the golden egg in the 1981 season with Hill Street Blues. A deeply moving drama, it finally gave cynical Marvin Kitman something good to say about television. Also in a dramatic tone was Nurse, starring Mi- chael Learned, the mother from the Waltons. Those dramatic high time soaps such as the original. Dallas, and the offshoots Dynasty and Flamingo Road, were also popular with television viewers. Informative programs reached high levels of performance with down-to- earth reporting in sensitive, pertinent areas. The award-winning show 60 Min- utes stirred up numerous hornets' nests.

For Your Information (FYI) on ABC featured Hal Linden who offered interesting and helpful bits of information during com mercial-type breaks. Sitcoms still held enjoyment for many people. Facts of Life. Taxi, and The Greatest American Hero were a few that attracted audiences who de sired a pleasant evening. Old favorites which also drew strong ratings were M.A.S.H. and Love Boat. Private Benja- min and Fame were two of the movie based weekly T.V. shows that held as much charm as did the originals. Last but not least.

Maqa in� - Entertainment 47 We've Got The Beat “Start me up!“ I love Rock’n Roll! • these messages of high energy and ex citement from musicians to the public were symbolic of the year's musical style. First and foremost on everyone's chart were the Rolling Stones, with their phenomenal album Tattoo You. After twenty years together, the Stones proved that they were still the greatest rock group by setting out on a trium- phant (world) tour which stopped in the New York area in November. Only a few lucky Stones fans got to see the con- cert. because they were chosen from the 3,000,000 applications. Yet Stones Fever could be felt all around. Another memorable concert was the thrilling re- union of the Sixties duo Simon and Gar- funkel on September 19 in New York's Central Park. The event attracted more than half a million fans. Meanwhile, oth- er artists, such as the Pretenders and Joan Jett, preferred playing smaller places. Joan Jett's emergence with the The Neon Light Lena Horne proved You can't keep a legend down with the huge success of her one-woman show, a Grammy award winner which was held-over six months. Lena Horne: The Lady and her Music was this year's smash, as her approach to some old tunes was fresh and excit- ing and proved to be a highlight of the 1981-82 Broadway season. The most flagrantly spectacular show of the season was the Broadway version of Dicken’s Nicholas Nickelby. Even at $100 a ticket, the eight hour show, which boasted over one hundred cast members and fabulous sets and costumes, made most viewers agree it was well worth the admission price. With its bold, innovative characteris- tics and charming vitality. Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat provided a very successful follow-up to Evita for its creators. To the audience, it proved a refreshing and thoroughly de- lightful evening. For plenty of razzle-dazzle production numbers with glamorous costumes and tap dancing extravaganzas to familiar album and single I Love Rock’n Roll won her widespread fame. Another group, which was composed of all girls, was the Go-Go’s, who had hit the scene with their popular album Beauty and the Beat. They opened at the Nassau Coliseum for another top group, The Police, whose album Ghost in the Ma- chine also did exceptionally well and got great reviews. Other albums that high- lighted the year were The Moody Blues Long Distance Voyager. Billy Squier's Don’t Say No. The Clash's Sandinista. J. Geils' Freeze Frame. Genesis' Aba- cab, Tom Petty's Hard Promises and Bella Donna, a solo effort from Fleetwood Mac's ethereal songstress, Stevie Nicks. In addition to some of the new talent mentioned, along came Lo- verboy, Quarterflash, Kim Carnes, Rick Springfield and Adam and the Ants, to name a few. These recent arrivals as well as the old heroes no doubt gave '81- 82 listeners a cheerful earful. old tunes, theatregoers turned to the very exciting and popular 42nd Street and Sophisticated Ladies. Both verified the message It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing! Of course, there was still an abun- dance of the old reliables: Deathtrap. Evita. A Chorus Line, and Annie to name a few. But, whether it was a new show, musical, old show or thriller, the 1981-82 season had audiences never at a loss for entertainment.

The Space Invaders not only conquered the arcades but the home video market as well. Students turned into space cadets as Atari pro- vided the battleground for interstel- lar dogfights. Meanwhile, in a galaxy not so far away, armies clad in Izod alligator shirts invaded the Commons. Regi- ments of khakis, tweeds and crew- neck sweaters draped over oxford shirts marched onto the scene and planted the Preppie flag firmly in place. Their credo could be found in the Preppy Handbook. The resistance forces, dedicated to destroying wool blazers, top- siders and cheenos, led the counter attack in their bold ‘Save an alliga- tor, shoot a Preppie” T-shirts and buttons. Bringing up the rear in the battle- field of the fashion fads were the headband and the leg warmer crew. Preppies and non-preppies alike ac- knowledged the growing strength of the “new kid on the block.” Some plotted to do their pets in, following the instructions of books like 101 Uses for a Dead Cat and The Cat Hater’s Handbook, while others took cats to their hearts by parading Garfield and Kliban cats across their chests in the form of comfortable sweatshirts. Another craze which swept the school was the Smurf Invasion. Smurfs could be seen on mugs, no- tebooks. stickers, keychains, sweat- shirts and especially buttons. Some girls' pocketbooks were more like smurf wastelands than handbags. Fads 49 Fads Cont’ When the coveted end-of-the-day bell rang, it signaled for many the start of the daily 'Tve-got-to-get- home-in-time-for-General Hospital- marathon”. Students forgot their books, grabbed their coats and dragged their friends home to watch the latest exploits of Luke, Laura and Scorpio, the passions of Alan and Monica, and the other de- velopments concerning Port Charles' illustrious citizens. Home- work was neglected, housework be- came a thing of the past, and the rest of the world stood suspended for an hour each day. Mathematical minds puzzled at the mysteries of the Rubik's cube. Like a string of monster movies they came; imitations and simula- tions that sprang up overnight: Ru- bik's pyramid, “The Snake”, with “Son of Rubik’s Cube’’ likely to hit the market any day. Fads, by their ephemeral nature, are not always known to last. But for now, the Preppie and Anti-Prep- pie departments are well stocked; Smurf paraphanalia endures; Ru- bik’s puzzles multiply by the min- ute; video games swallow quarters by the dollars; and although Laura is gone. Luke lives on in the mid- day fantasy world of General Hospi- tal. Although one day these things may all be obsolete, they reflect the character of teenagers today.

It is no big revelation that school and the ac- tivities surrounding this most use- ful institution take up a huge amount of our otherwise pleasant lives. The daily grind can get to be a hassle for anyone and usually is. but the one fact that makes all this bearable Is that. yes. there is life after school. Free time, although a rarity for most active or employed stu- dents. is enjoyed by all. The after- noon soap opera crowd, ever on the increase, anxiously soaked up hours of tube time. The continu- ing sagas of the characters of Gen- eral Hospital. All My Children, and The Guiding Light seeped into classroom discussion, or cafe- teria chatter. “Soap operas are great,” exclaimed Joanne Schriver, freshman, They give me something to do when I'm bored. Not everyone became en- grossed in the daytime serial ma- nia. For those students, maga- zines. books, and couches were created. “Give me a classic and a comfortable spot and I’ll be hap- py, responded Joe Zarodkiewicz, senior. In addition, afternoons spent with a good friend, boy friend, or girlfriend, reading and doing homework always made the time fly.

Outside Of School Con’t Sometimes it was the mindless activities that kept one sane; col- lapsing in your room, turning the stereo volume to seven, or taking a long walk. Then there were those hobbies that gave such sat- isfaction. Without discrimination, girls fixed cars, boys cooked meals, students added to collec- tions. etc. “Most of my leisure time is devoted to crafts such as needlepoint and knitting,” Patricia Flanagan, junior, announced. Ac- tivities such as these help to diver- sify and keep students happy. Be it concerts, the movies, a bar. the Mall, or just “hanging out”, students found the time and the place. I like to go out to for- get about all the hassles of school and work. It is one time when I can completely hang loose, stated Jonathan Grey, senior. Back Barn, Pawnbroker, Muffins and Mer’s seemed to entice students, and not only the eighteen year olds.

Saving for col- lege and working for career exper- ience were a few reasons why a student would enter the business world. I like the feeling of having money for my own personal use. It's also nice to know that if I want something, I am able to afford it,” commented Ann Marie Fry, soph- omore. A glance around the mall, down Main Street or within your own neighborhood proved how im- portant earning money has been to students. Those green bills are only the medium that filled the gas tank, bought the Friendly’s Fribble, and helped make that lei- sure time enjoyable. True, if it were not for school and its burdensome nature, our time away from it would not have been as precious to us. It was of- ten our life in school which en- abled us to meet people and plan things for the time after the last bell had rung. But, when the final bell rang and we were no longer under the domain of that lovely thing called school, it was un- doubtedly the frolicsome week ends with friends or the lazy after- noons hanging out” which we will tend to remember most about our high school days. 56 Outside Of School The modern phone booths may be difficult to stuff, but a group of students gave it a valiant effort.

Entertainment at the International Food Fest included a small band that played Christmas carols and the Madrigal singers. The Honor Society-sponsored blood drive provided students with another means of giving dur- ing the holiday season. Anthony Petrera, senior, commented, I gave blood to some needy person. It was a good present. A spirited trip to the Dorothy K. Robbins Daycare Center enabled Mrs. Brenner's Childhood class to spread this holiday spirit to the children. “We dressed up as elves, bringing cookies and presents,” blurted Tina Strubel, senior. Smiles were abundant that day and again at the Future Business Leaders of America s party for the neighborhood senior citizens. Key Club and Honor Society members joined forces spreading their en- thusiasm to the children of the Headstart Program. Paolo Scag- liarini. senior, proudly announced. I was Santa Claus!

Visions of that delectable sirloin float by but vanish as the student realizes the tons of work cut out for him. He pictures his buddies ensconced in their reclining chairs with a newspaper on hand. He tries to reason with himself that deadlines are a necessary part of the successful running of an organized club and that he and the few companions who are assisting him are benefiting the club. Un- fortunately, his growling stomach and aching back tell him otherwise and he finds himself asking, Why?! Many students find themselves working many hours after school as devoted members of a school organization. Meeting deadlines is something which every club has to contend with, stated Jim Schmitt, junior, member of the marching band, a club which really felt the pinch before its Newsday Competition. It was a challenge. I never thought we’d get it all together, but Newsday proved we could, stated Vinny Napodano, senior. The Dalerettes and Cheerleaders spent many hours outside in cold weather practic- ing for the football games besides performing at every game. The hardest part was the cold. We froze our legs off. but we still en- joyed it when it came down to performing, commented Ondine Stettner, senior, and Da- lerette. The many clubs that combined efforts on the production of the play Oklahoma found that they often were forced to miss dinner during the eight weeks of practice. At 10:00 p.m. on the last few days of practice, I was tired and hungry. Then I had to contend with a night of homework and very little sleep, explained Jarrod Bagatell, freshman. The ac- tors and crew even had to give up their Satur- day activities. Probably the most devastating deadline crunch is felt by the school publications. I never felt as much pressure before as I did for an upcoming deadline. My December 3 dead- line. which was 16 pages of seniors, took up the time I needed to do my term paper. remarked Stephanie Kaufmann, a yearbook editor. In spite of the inconvenience of missing dinners, putting off homework, and often causing family strife, students still participat- ed in school organizations. Sandy Wall, sen- ior, one of the main coordinators of the Key Club fund drive, said, I joined this club be- cause I enjoy helping people in the communi- ty. While Lesley Annis, senior, said, I joined because my friends were in the club. What- ever the reason, the many students who par- ticipated in school clubs and activities made the school year more memorable.

Attention all Daler- ettes: Pictures will be taken tomor- row at 2:30 pm in the Commons.” Did you ever stop and wonder who organized these clubs? Did you ever question who did the morning announcements? Well, those students and the people who organized the clubs are one in the same. They belong to the Stu- dent Activities Council, better known as SAC. Although some students never heard of SAC, the organization has a purpose. It is to let clubs know SAC is there to help them and to join the clubs into one working body. The purpose of SAC is to coordinate clubs in the school, schedule fundraisers, and keep everyone informed‘through General Assembly meetings, ex- plained Patti Jean Hicks, Presi- dent of SAC. Each club contri- butes its own suggestions. These ideas are then brought up at the General Assembly meetings. Ev- ery club sends one representative to each meeting, and is entitled to speak out for or against the ideas presented. The SAC successfully raised school spirit this year. Mike Berkowitz, treasurer, explained, School spirit was increased this year because we did not let the apathy of past years bother us. The administration was very coop- erative and that helped a lot.” When Plainedge High School chal- lenged us to a marathon, SAC ac- cepted and the spirit shone bright- ly. The object of the marathon was to see which high school could collect the most money for Billy Joel’s Charity-Begins-At- Home Fund. Collecting a sum of $256, we defeated Plainedge. Mr. Ron LaRussa, producer of the fund drive at WBAB, said, “You put to shame every other high school in the competition. You should be proud of yourselves! In past years, dances were planned but sometimes failed. Thanks to SAC and the coopera- tion of the student body, the Homecoming Dance did succeed. A Valentine’s Day Dance with a fundraiser for the American Heart Association was the next thought. SAC was proud of the school and wanted everyone to know, so they filled out the application to enter Newsday’s High School of the Year Award Competition. Whether we won the competition or not, SAC managed to rejuve- nate the spirit of the students, making us proud. This was more important than proving to some- one else that we were the best.

All this takes place right here. Every year the class elec- tions bring forth tears and laugh- ter that make enemies friends, and friends enemies. After the early Fall elections of the freshman and sophomore offi- cers, it was time to get down to the year’s business. For the new officers this meant learning the functions of their offices. Their primary objective was bolstering the newly founded treasuries. The money raised would go for future activities. The problem of fund raising, however, was eased by the addi- tion of the full ninth grade, a ready market for fund-raising items. Candy sales did work very well. Everyone in this school seemed to have a sweet tooth.” comment- ed Corinne Barrett, Junior Class president. The one event that the Junior Class officers hoped would stand out in the minds of their class- mates was the Junior Prom. There was one thing about the Prom that the officers could agree upon. We had no idea how much work it was to create this kind of event, admitted Fran Marcus. With the onset of graduation, the senior class officers had to do their best to make the Class of 82’s final moments in high school memorable. Along with the annual events, such as Dress Down Day and the Talent Show, there was the Senior Banquet. Kristen Doug- lass. Senior Class treasurer, ex- plained, The last days in high school were a memory we won’t forget; I’d like to say they were fantastic. If all the officers did not try as� hard as they did, if they did not plan as carefully as they did, this year could not have been as enjoy- able as it was.

Mr. Piven, the adviser, tries to give the members responsibility which meant to provide supplementary teaching materials. Aides distrib- ute filmstrips and keep teaching equipment in order. The Pressmen, which is com- prised of some thirty students, met during the school day and occasionally donated its work to community organizations which could not otherwise afford pro- fessionally printed work. Whether the AVA or Daler Pressmen were performing rou- tine tasks for the school or work- ing on complicated projects for the community, they contribut- ed mightily to the school's well- being and, like gears of a clock, were necessary to the school's smooth funtioning. in Guidance, explained Jim Ser rian, junior.

Obscure, un- seen messengers infiltrate the community and carry out their mission unnoticed. Shadows scour the streets, silent forms in- teracting with people. Their work goes often unappreciated, unre- cognized, as they fade back into their obscure cover to plot upcom- ing deeds. Agents of the F.B.I.? Robin Hood’s merry men? Heavenly guardians? Not quite. Although they lack the presitge of flashing a government I.D. and the spiffy green tights and feathered hats of Sherwood Forest, organizations like Key Club and Interact are building a reputation for good deeds throughout the community. These angels of mercy aren’t af- forded the luxury of winging their way over traffic en route to their various undertakings, such as the Special Olympics, where mem- bers helped participants compete. For the first time since I joined Key Club, I felt there was a serious cause that united us all. These kids at the Special Olympics real- ly impressed me with their stam- ina and determination,” remarked Dennis Corbett, senior. Key Club joined forces with Kiwanis, their sponsors, to bring mentally handicapped children to Adventureland. Their other mercy missions included visiting Dale- view Nursing Home and sponsor- ing a family for Thanksgiving. The traditional fundraiser for charity organizations is robbing from the rich, but Key Club and Interact resort to bake sales, pret- zel sales, and candy drives to raise money. Key Club doesn't hold a mono- poly on the Good Samaritan trade, though. Its sister organization, In- teract, sponsored a carnival to benefit the Muscular Dystrophy Association, a Cystic Fibrosis Bike-a-Thon, and also provided for a family at Thanksgiving. We searched for families to host an exchange student coming in Janu- ary, Sue Gruber, senior, report- ed. With all these do-gooders wan- dering the land, how do you tell them apart? Interact is a student extension of the Rotary, ex- plained Larry Abuhoff. Years ago, Key Club was only for guys, and Interact was for girls. Now they’re both for boys and girls. Mr. Marino happens to advise both this year. F.B.I. agents crouch beneath beds. Angels hover patiently over- head. Merry men romp and frolic in T-shirts and jeans. All the Santa Claus clones you see on snowy streetcorners are probably in Key Club, too. It’s a well-organized goodwill conspiracy.

Since the gym is always in use. the Commons is a necessary substi- tute. 76 Club Offices Where's It At? It’s 2:05. Do you know where your club is meeting? While some students rush to catch their bus- es at two o’clock, the members of some clubs can be found wandering the halls in mild confu- sion, trying to recall where their club is meeting this time. When the hallways are clear, they strain to hear the voices of those discussing an upcoming fund drive or the field trip. With a smile, they head toward the roar from down the corridor, only to find that it emanates from the Paper Lion office. Those in the newspaper office and a few others were the lucky ones; they had a place’, and somehow the place seemed to be a home and the people in it a family. Hi-Life and Muse Media inhabit offices that were once bath- rooms. But many clubs don’t have such a place and they meet and or work in more public spots throughout the school. During the homeroom the class officers can be found in their grade office ‘home’, and the GLC and VLC in the cavernous gym. The cold and often dark commons is alive with Daler- ettes and music most days after school. Al- though the SAC has a comfortably furnished office, its general meetings take place in the much-used lecture hall. Those students whose clubs have an office, however, can be seen there any time of day. The camaraderie, which they develop while do- ing homework or working on club activities, makes them realize that there can be much more to a club than just meeting once a month. Yet, the gym. the Commons, the library, the classroom — each can become a place where students join together to form friendships and experience a world outside of a textbook. SAC finds the lecture hall convenient and practical for the convening of general assembly meetings. Club Offices 77 On A High Note The crowd was hushed as four shrill whistles pierced the air. Two hundred green and white uniforms marched onto the field. Thou- sands of spectators were awaiting the performance as a dozen marching bands watched from be- hind. Colorful banners proclaimed the performance of the Marching Band to the annual Newsday Fes- tival. The Newsday Festival is the cli- max of the marching season. Prep- arations began in August for band camp in September. At Camp Al- vernia the band became acquaint- ed with the routines and rehearsed for the upcoming football season. “Alvemia gave us time to concen- trate on our music and to march without distraction from outside,” remarked Tom Giminaro, senior. Karen Weiler, senior, added, ‘‘We needed band camp in order to per- form in front of an audience.” Besides getting ready for the Newsday Festival, the band also had to prepare a halftime show for the football games. We weren’t only bigger this year, but we were better com- mented Mr. DeMilo, the band di- rector. Drum Majorette Gina O’Dea, senior, added, The group was more cooperative this year: the spirit of the band was greatly improved.” In addition to the work put into the marching band, some of these talented musicians also joined the Pit Band for the Playcrafter’s Pro- duction of Oklahoma. It was hard staying late for the long re- hearsals, but we had a lot of fun,” stated Tony D’Amico, senior. Joey Darr, senior, remarked, If I had another year I’d do the same thing.” Cold weather doesn't prove a deterrent to the dedicated band members, like Jennifer Jacoby, as they provide entertainment dur- ing a football game. Practice makes perfect , is the old slo- gan that proves true as the marching band heads out to the field. Front Row: Jill Citrano. Brett Greenblatt. pienza.

Cheerleaders Dalerettes 81 Helpful Hands Who are those invisible wraiths who set up volleyball nets and put out mats for gym class? Where do they come from? No one ever seems to see them. Well, the answer is out. It’s not a pack of elves; it's the GLC and their male counterparts from the VLC. These are two service orga- nizations which help the school and community. The VLC enjoys doing charita- ble things such as adopting a family for Christmas, aiding in the Special Olympics, walking in the March of Dimes Walkathon and selling carnations on Green and White Day. The GLC, on the other hand, adopted a family for Thanksgiving, organized a car wash and held various fun- draisers, such as a candle sale, a calendar sale, a wrapping paper sale, and even a drinking cup sale. How does one go about joining the VLC? Actually, it’s very easy. You must have a varsity letter and two teacher recom mendations. To join GLC you must have a varsity letter, or two junior varsity letters and the rec- ommendations of two gym teachers. Once you have all of the above requirements, you must submit to an interview with the members of the club. People have given different reasons for joining these clubs. James Schmitt, junior, stated, I joined so I could play an integral part in the leadership of our school. Lisa Scudera. senior, joined the GLC because it is a sports-oriented club, she ex- plained. Andrew DeTroia, junior, gave a more mundane reason tor joining. I wanted to become more active, he explained. The reasons for joining may vary, but in the end all members still feel the same—a sense of accomplishment. As plans for a ski trip arc tossed around. Ann Marie Foresta. Tina Stiubel.

Students who find themselves talented in these areas can turn in many different directions. Studio art, drawing and painting, creative crafts and advertising are some classes of fered by the Art Department. Music is an art as well. A student can involve himself in band, or- chestra. chorus, and music the ory classes offered by the Music Department. These courses teach the basic skills of these arts, but to increase their knowl edge and use the gift of imagina tion, students join the Madrigals. Jazz Lab. and Student Art Gal lery. The students that join these extracurricular clubs use their talents to entertain others as well as to enjoy themselves. It’s not just fun and games; developing a voice, listening and reading mu sic. drawing, painting and play ing an instrument demand hard work, determination, and much practice. “The music of the Mad rigals is more difficult than cho rus. It's hard to keep pitch with so many different parts, ex plained Adele Hess, junior. The Varsity Jazz Lab met ev- ery Thursday after school for two hours to practice and prac tice and practice . . . They did not mind the practice because the practice helped improve their band average. ' I don’t mind the practices that much. It’s all worth it in the end.” commented Jim Schmitt, junior.

The Students Art Gallery or SAG is a club in which students can express themselves freely. Classwork can be done there, and the atmosphere is very re- laxing. I enjoy art because I can do my own thing at my own pace, commented Debby Hea- ley, junior. SAG provided the school with posters and decora- tions for special events, like the Valentine’s Day decorations. The windows of the school were painted by SAG members. Each student was given a window and could create any design that was appropriate for a school setting. The Madrigals don't just sing, they put everything they’ve got into singing. Costumes bring the audience back to Medieval times. Girls in long dresses, boys in tights and a court jester ap pear in the performance. The highlight for the Madrigals this year was their performance in front of cheering crowds at St. Patrick’s Cathedral in New York City. Although there was much work, the performance and final product made it all worthwhile. The audiences enjoyed it. the students enjoyed it. and the ad visers swelled with pride.

You’re sitting there, lis- tening to your class officers at a meeting of the class, only the auditorium is less than one third full. Most of your classmates are smart enough not to attend, realizing the meeting could only be about one thing- —fundraisers! You’re asked to sell items (candy, can- dles, and wrapping paper) that can be bought far cheaper in stores. But because you say, ‘‘I’m selling to support. . people will buy out of the goodness of their hearts, usually accompanied with a bit of grum- bling. As expected, fundraising can be a wholly degrading experience for both you and your customer—or victim. Dan Riha, junior, a member of the marching band, re- called, When I was trying to sell calendars for the band fund, some people would close the door as soon as the word ’support’ came up.” Be cheerful, be polite, be convincing, they tell you before you go out to sell. What they really mean is, be forceful. Be obnoxious. Above all, don’t take ”no” for an answer. Once you have your foot in the door, ram your product down their throats! These are the precepts of successful fundraising. Every club knows that the weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas are the best time to run a fund drive. Mary Anne Villardi, senior, remarked, GLC was selling candles, wrapping paper, calendars, and plastic cups so it made it almost impossible! Through- out the Christmas shopping days, the neigh- borhood becomes innundated with kids from many different organizations, each hawking their own peculiar brand of wares. Melissa DeSimone, freshman, commented, It was easy for me to sell because we were selling porcelain holiday candy-holders which nobody saw in the stores. The hapless member of more than two or three clubs is usually faced with weeks of having to sell and sell, each time for a differ- ent group. At first friends, family and neigh- bors bear with the poor wretch out of pity. But after he tries to sell more than two differ- ent types of fund-raisers to his loved ones, they begin to disown him. They start to shrink away when he walks into a room, knowing he’s about to try to unload some more of his high-priced junk. People become antagonistic toward this poor person while they should act kindly towards him. After all. one of the basic rules of being a fun- draiser is to always buy cheerfully from oth- ers, so they will feel obligated to buy cheer- fully from you in the future.

Al- though this may be the com- plaint of some students, the stu- dents that have joined the Rock- et Club, Science Club, the Lab Squad find science to be an ex- citing and rewarding experience. David Maucher, sophomore, vice president of the Rocket Club stated, I've been building and launching rockets for five years. This club gives us the op- portunity to work and learn to- gether.’ The president, Chris Pennino, remarked, This club is really important to us because it provides a safe atmosphere to build our rockets. With the help of Mr. Kent, we don’t have to worry about things going wrong. Mr. Kent, their advisor, explained, Following directions is necessary for future endeav- ors. If nothing else, they will defi- nitely learn that here. The Lab Squad is a club that not only serves the school but also helps the members acquire experience in working with chemicals and lab materials. Mike Borruso, senior, remarked, We do everything from shar- pening pencils to arranging chemicals in the closet. What- ever the science rooms need, we supply. Mrs. Meyerson, their advisor, added, The kids have the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the terms used in labs. It’s a great experience for the future. A strong bond must exist be- tween advisor and club mem- bers, and this is what has made the Rocket Club and Lab Squad successful. This same bond was apparent between the Science Club and their late advisor. Miss Carol Lindeman. She meant everything to this club; it will never be the same without her. stated Jane Looney, senior.

There are many organizations to join that introduce students to different fields, but Future Busi- ness Leaders of America, better known as FBLA, and Future Sec- retaries of America or FSA, are two clubs that educate and aid students. “The purpose of FBLA is to teach leadership qualities, the free enterprise system and give students an opportunity to make the transition from school to business. stated Mr. Yengel, FBLA's adviser. FBLA picks up where the classroom leaves off and offers a variety of knowl edge in the different fields. FBLA members competed in County Competitions. Subject matter included in the competi tion was public speaking, law, accounting, management, ex ecutive decisionmaking, busi- ness communications and twen- ty-five other subjects. After the County Competitions there were State and National Conferences. Much preparation was involved and money from fundraising went to this cause. FBLA also performed services for the community. FBLA mem bers collected food for the needy at Thanksgiving and worked with senior citizens at the holi- day season. Money was raised The holiday season is .1 lime to Plil A and fSA to slum- liieinselvr-s aiwl llii.u fcwK with senior « iti ens for the March of Dimes by par ticipating in a Type a-thon. Each member collected sponsors who made pledges on how fast they could type. The basic purpose of the FSA, organized in 1956, is to help members understand the various aspects of the career of a secre- tary. Business and social skills are learned. “We meet with peo pie our own age with similar in terests,” commented Kelly Schnitzler, junior. Speakers were arranged by Mrs. Meyers, the ad- viser. but the topics were chosen by the members themselves. A Weight Watchers' representative lectured on nutrition and exer- cise. Detective Diane Berni from the Rape Squad came, and wom- en from big companies gave ad vice on the application of ma- keup. FSA held a Miss FSA contest sponsored by the National Secre- taries Association. One of the re- quirements was to write on the business world and answer ques tions on handling difficult busi- ness situations. Tina Kosteas, senior, won the Title of Honor and a silver charm. FSA collected and contributed toys and money to a children's group. FSA also lent help to groups that needed their ser vices. FSA and FBLA answer the question that clouds students' minds. The students are now prepared for the “real world but now the question is. Is the world ready for them?

Each member must attain a 90 aver- age or better. This select group of students is part of a nation- wide club that is known for its outstanding work. The main job of Honor Society is to tutor those students in need in a particular subject. John Hasley, senior, of ten criticized the policies of Hon- or Society by saying. More stu dents should be capable of join- ing by having easier entrance codes. That way more students could be tutored either in school or at home.” At times it can be difficult to retain one’s membership be cause of the necessary scholas- tic achievements needed. But for Honor Society, this year was a growing group. During the Christmas season. 40 young children were enter- tained by Honor Society mem- bers. These children, from the Headstart Program, were kept busy with songs, games and gifts. Paolo Scagliarini, senior, dressed up as Santa Claus and took each child on his lap. He gave out the gifts, the girls get ting dolls, and the boys receiving train sets. Afterwards, cookies and soda were given out. “It was fun entertaining the childern. The Headstart Party was really successful this year, said Victor Chang, junior. The Honor Society was able to arrange this party because of the large number of members and their interest. If more students got actively involved in other groups, such as the Math League, students could help to improve the school and commu- nity. Many people feel the only form of aggressive, competitive after-school activities is athlet- ics. Almost everyone but a few devoted team members have overlooked the Math League. These determined Mathletes put as much work into solving a problem as a football player would scoring a touchdown. An- gelina Mauro, senior, felt, It's really a shame that the Math League doesn’t get more atten- tion. Although we participate with eagerness, I sometimes wonder if it is worth it.” Not only do these students participate heartily in their sport , but at the same time they improve themselves scho- lastically. At the start of the year, many Mathletes feared their anonym- ity would cause a deficiency in participants. Chris Hamilton, senior, who is the team presi- dent, reported, With the gradu- ation of senior Mathletes, there was worry about not having enough students to compete. Since the first meeting we were overwhelmed by the number of students joining and their con- stant enthusiasm. Although many clubs concen- trate on building themselves physically, the Math League tries to excel mentally. The members all take their club seri- ously and devote many hours of practice to it. Without these dedi- cated people, how would not only mathematical questions be answered but also the mysteries of life? If no one ever hunted for answers, there would be no doc- tors, scientists or people that can do a Rubik’s Cube!

While wheeling class candy to the storeroom. Mr. Healy thinks about all the candy he must buy if the fundraiser is a flop. Advise And Consent “Let him be So. For Council still is folly’s deadly foe.” William Shakespeare “London Prodigal.” The wise words of a poet sometimes fall upon deaf ears . . . but fortunately such is not the case at Farmingdale High. Activity advisers are far from ignored, whether or not they praise the students’ individual efforts. In fact, according to SAC Treasurer Mike Berkowitz, senior, “Our adviser. Mr. Rose, has devoted so much of his time to SAC and all the activities that I wonder how much time he has to himself.” Advisers touch upon all areas of interest. Michael Goldflam, member of the Math League, attested to that. Miss Colalucci’s time and patience are sometimes ignored, but you must admire her—she keeps on trying. As president Christopher Hamilton, senior, commented Without Miss Colaluc- ci's guidance and representation, we would be nonexistent. Some advisers supervise the groups' ac- tivities but remain out of the limelight. Mari- na Dierks. junior, a typist for Muse and Me- dia. reflected, Mr. Little has done much to enhance the quality of contributions though he stays in the background mostly. Staff member and contributor Barbara Gilloon, senior, seemed to argue stating, Mr. Little helps in much of the production, but it’s a student-based interest with the help of a qualified adviser. Despite the relatively positive attitude to- ward the advisers, there is always a time, whether caused by the pressures of an im- pending deadline or some other urgent prob- lem, that strains develop. Hi-Life adviser Ken Schwinn approached this problem, pointing out, When people work so closely together and a goal seems so hard to reach, there are bound to be difficulties. A good adviser will know when to intervene and when to step back. Of course, you also have to realize that you can’t please everyone all the time, and then you have to make sure the hard feelings don't last too long. Some advisers, despite all the patience and commitment to their work, find thems- leves disenchanted with their club’s pro- gress. Michael LoMonico, adviser to the Pa- per Lion, commented on the situation, say- ing, We’ve had our troubles in dealing with the pressures of running a newspaper. But despite all the frustrations, there's still a feeling of accomplishment in the final prod- uct. That feeling of accomplishment is in- deed evident and the extra pay doesn’t seem to hurt either. As Karen Lund, Hi-Life Liter- ary Adviser, explains, “I’m always amazed at the feeling of contentment I get with each deadline I meet. 96 Advisers The Driver Education Simulator Room is certainly one of the more unique classrooms in the school. Linda Guercio concentrates on 'driving' during her 6th period class The basic curriculum does not radically change from year to year. But each year some class finds itself faced with an unusual experience. What factors made this year so unusual? Could it have been having two professors from Red China discussing with the Humanities classes the differences between our school and schools in China, as well as answering questions? Could it have been the Latin course that was introduced into the curriculum this year, with Mr. Smith s unique method of teaching? May- be it was the time when Mr. Conroy provided his own students, as well as others who were in surrounding classrooms, with a touch of musical culture as he bel- lowed out an aria by Handel in the middle of third period. Perhaps the incident when Karl Lohwasser blew up a carburetor in Auto Shop will remain imprinted in the minds of some. These events will never be called ordi- nary. They are the experiences that only happen once and can never be repeated.

A routine calm fell over the class. Mr. Tom Duncan was about to begin teaching when suddenly, fellow English teacher, Mr. Ken Schwinn burst in. He declared it Be Nice to Tom Duncan Day” as he bestowed a gag wreath on Mr. Duncan s neck and kissed him once on each cheek. Other English Department members breakfasted on Dun- kin' Donuts, paid for Mr. Dun- can’s lunch, presented it to him on a Dpncan Day Dining Doily, and dedicated a roll of toilet paper in the men’s room to him. He was also presented with a bag of goodies which included a new comb ( Total- ly useless, Mr. Duncan com- mented), a can of head polish and a wig. Ms. Karen Lund, who teaches English in the Alter- nate School, engineered the festivities. He's always teas- ing me about my height, she explained. I had to get even with him. It will be an annual event, propheted Ms. Lund. The Duncan Days have only just begun! More Than ABC's Vast and wide the cavernous room extends. Long rows of carrels serving as teachers’ desks line its interior. White light washes over it, supplied by stretching fluorescent bars above. Rows of books dress its walls, regimented battalions of texts, novels, plays and magazines are stationed in steel shelves. A special quality characterizes the English Depart- ment which sets its office apart from the otherwise identical looking departmental offices. Bare desks and blank walls are quickly dressed to fit the collective personality of the English Faculty. A sign on the door of chairman Joseph Morra’s office reads. English Department: Sentences diagrammed, infinitives split, participles dangled while you wait, and is testimony to the character of the department. The English Department offers courses varied far beyond the basic and compulsory English classes. They range from Advanced Placement English to spe- cialized literature courses. Activity for English-oriented students is not con- fined to regular school hours. Future writers exercise their creativity in publications like Paper Lion, Muse Media and Hi-Life, all of which have advisers from the English Department faculty. Although the variety of English courses and elec- tives is like a menu of some exotic cuisine, many English teachers would like to see more offered. A course in modern novels or American playwrights would be nice. commended Mr. Thomas Duncan. Also suggested were courses devoted to major poets and writers like Shakespeare and Austen. Writing is a similar concern of another English teacher; however, Mr. Curti focuses on particularly stylistic elements rather than straight grammatical elements. English classes should cover more preparation for research papers, note taking, and reading for mean- ing,” advised Dr. Phyllis Zaphiris. Students’ comments on the curriculum were very different expectedly. Get rid of literature. I hate the stuff! exclaimed Thomas Gabia, junior. Senior Vicki O’Dea complained, We read too many novels. Eng- lish still holds a lure for those who hate literature, and for Vicki it’s Mr. Monteleone. He makes great scenery in the classroom. With the teachers' continued dedication and creativ- ity as well as the sustained interest on the part of the students, the English Department is assured a continu- ing turn out of future talent from Farmingdale High School. 102 English fl To many, the carrels in the English department are too small and inconvenient. However, the office does provide Mr. Friedman with the opportunity to get some work done and have a laugh or two with friends. A basic teacher's skill is to know how to keep the students interest ed at all times. Mr Cates well understands this principle and does all he can to keep his students enthralled during a lecture in World Literature. It's a well known fact that students learn better with individual attention Mrs Koroghlian knows this and trys to spend some extra time working privately with each of her students, like Brian McGuin ness A quick moment before class is taken by Herbert Bunny to cram for an exam. English 103 BIG Business F-F-F- Space JJJ- Space ODD- Space ... This call, accompanied by the rhythmic clicking of type- writers. can be heard emanating from first year typing classes during the first few weeks of school. As the weeks progress, the clicking becomes less regulated and the students begin to work on their own. By January the mad typing is all one can hear in the business hall. But typing, although it is certainly the loudest, is not the only business course offered. Farmingdale's Business Department is one of the best in the state. Courses in almost every facet of the business world, from advertising to marketing, from accounting to secretarial practices, are offered, using the most modern equipment. There are so many courses, in fact, that the department merits its own wing. Mr. Herbert Yengal. the department chairman, is as busy as a top corporate executive in more ways than one. At times he actually seems more like a business- man than a teacher. And as adviser to the Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA), he tries to teach his students a business sense by running club meet- ings as if they were corporate board meetings. ’Some- times all the formality involved, like making motions. and opening and closing topics for discussion, can be annoying and make the meetings drawn out. But in the long run. it helps us to learn what the business world is really like, commented sophomore Angela Tagarello. FBLA member. The goals of business courses are all in the direction of preparation for the future, either on a personal or professional level. Even though I have no desire to become a secretary, typing was a very valuable course to take, explained Dave Coogan, senior. An- other senior. Gary Frey, stated that the courses he is taking will be of great aid in college. FBLA presi dent, junior Noreen Koffer, had the subject summed up when she said, Business courses are great for everyone to take. The more varied your experience, the easier it is to get a job. Knowledge of the business world is important for later life and now is the best time to take these courses. To take them in college, you would have to pay for them.” When one considers how lucrative the business world is and how practical a knowledge of business practices can be. is it a small wonder that throughout the 8 period day. there are more than 80 clases held in the business wing.

Machines are often the cul- prits. as in the case of the new Wang Word Processor that knows more about what you’re doing than you do. If a student makes a mistake such as pressing the “delete'' button and then forgetting to tell the machines what to take out, the computer will flash. “Delete what? Then there’s the case of the typewriters that will make copies automatically. Just feed in the material, turn it on, and you’ll get a perfect copy without fail. You can even walk away and leave it to type on its own.

I was sitting in math class one day and David Coogan found a small, green and yellow caterpillar in my hair, reports senior Liz Fol- let. Of course, it was chris- tened David after its rescuer and savior. During class I al- lowed him to crawl around on my desk and afterwards I took him home, Liz said with a smile. Home for this class- room pet was a tin, Sucrets box with grass padding. How- ever, all good things must come to an end and poor Da- vid died in his newly estab- lished home. “I’ll always re- member him and he'll have a special place in my heart, confessed Liz. 106 Math Geometry is a complex subject that takes more than words to Math IS The Problem I’m so confused is probably the plea that every math student has muttered once during his or her ordeal with the workings and discipline of math. How ever, in the words of David Yuen, junior, It (math) can be very challenging as well as tough. The chairperson of this department is Mr. Isadore Berglass, who confessed that he thought The Math Department was one of the best departments in the high school. The department offers a whole range of subjects including Introductory Algebra and Scientific Computer Programming. Next year there will be a new three-year sequence which will include Algebra, Geom- etry, Trigonometry, Logic, Probability and Statistics, and other more recently developed math topics. This project is part of a newly administered three-year se- quence developed by the State Department. Integrating computers into the classroom, Miss Josephine Selitte said, is another aim of the Math Department. However, some people believe the time The funny and down-to-earth way Mr Robert Anderson teaches helps to keep his students, including Maria laboni. interested. for computers has already begun. ‘‘This is very appar- ent to anyone who goes into the computer room, which is constantly humming with activity, said. Chris Hamilton, senior. Recently, a bubbling new addition was contributed to the computer room in the form of a micro computer which is capable of solving mathmatical equations, doing graphics, and playing games. Although this technological plus is a happily received addition, the primary mini computer is still valuable since it can do data and word processing as well as file manipulations and at a greater speed. You can do practically any- thing you want on a computer including playing games, having it talk, and drawing pictures as long as you can teach it, explained Danny Kamel, junior. Classes in general, however, are taught to prepare students for college. As Suzanne Niedzwiecki, senior, put it, “Math is simply a struggle with concepts, and when you get them down, it’s great!” While the class works diligently on a problem. Mrs. Eileen DeRosa contemplates the problem herself. Math 107 For Mr. Hanshumaker. teaching math is like a song and dance routine. An Alternative For certain people the Alternate School is as com- fortable as an old pair of shoes. In order to participate in this unique learning experience, one must be ma- ture responsible, and exercise self-discipline. An Alternate Schooler must be able to work serious- ly with others and behave in an orderly manner, yet maintain their humor and lightheartedness. Mike Mail- man. senior, said, “That’s what makes it work! Speakers are another aspect of what the Alternate school has to offer. During these discussions, students share their thoughts and voice their opinions on con- troversial issues, such as the Island Trees book ban ning. Many speakers have been impressed by the level of involvement of the students in this program. Accepting responsibility is the key to being in the Alternate School. Because this is a college preparato- ry situation, the individual student must accept per sonal responsibility to hand in class assignments with- out the teachers’ constant reminders. As a result, the student gains a sense of handling responsibilities and ordering priorities. In the Alternate School we have more opportunities to cut and not do the work than the regular school kids, but we are responsible and mature enough to handle the situation, explained John Capobianco, senior. In alternate school, teachers and students, like Ms. Karen Lund and Mary Bernert can work together to share a fun project. Paperwork is dispatched with amused ease by Mr. McKean and Mr Sherrin. Self-discipline is another strong quality a student in the Alternate School must possess. He should be will ing to learn under a less-restricted atmosphere. One should be in control of his own words and actions so that he is better able to contribute to the program and receive insights from other students and teachers. The Alternate School student has double responsibilities; that is learning the program’s rules and also the rules of the regular school. Simone Wolfe, junior, comment- ed. We have to learn to adapt to the policies of the regular school. The Alternate School has gone through many dras- tic changes since last year. With the Freshman Class moving to the Senior High, more rooms were needed for traditional class instruction. This is what lead to the new locations of the Alternate School. But. as Nancy Shircore, senior, observed, Even though the rooms have changed, the people haven’t. One of the projects for the students this year was to decorate the new rooms for a nice, lived-in effect. Nanci Campbell, junior, expressed. We could make this place into what we want it to be. This summa rizes the focus on the program—it’s what the students make it! 108 Alternate School English 11 English 12 English 13AP Math HR Intermediate Algebra Introduction to Calculus Independent Topics in Mathematics American Studies American History AP Half Witted Dare When someone dares you to do something, you really aren't expected to go through with it, but John Capobianco, senior, is unique. One day in early December, John was dared to shave off half of his beard. The dare was from Ke- vin Graves, junior. Approxi- mately one week later, on a Friday. John went through with the dare. On his way to school a teacher in the Alter- nate school, Ms. Karen Lund, offered John a ride and he ac- cepted. It was not until they reached school after a 10 min- ute ride that Ms. Lund no- ticed. The thing that both ered me the most was that I didn't notice immediately,” she said. As people started gathering in the Alternate School for morning classes, Dave Moyer, junior, was the first to notice. In homeroom. Mike Mailman, senior, summed it up pretty wel I— You know someone is strange when they can do something that strange and not look strange!

V. Operators Transport Troubles Oh, no! Not again?! This is ridiculous. Why can't we have better buses? These are legitimate complaints of the B.O.C.E.S. students; their buses have been notorious for breaking down this year. During the winter there's no heat and we freeze, complained Paul Hogan, senior. Once we were stuck on the Long Island Express- way for 45 minutes,” moaned Jim Abele, senior. We all missed General Hospital! A microscopic world holds many mysteries for Cynthia Jeffers, who knows the key to unlocking them. 110 B.O.C.E.S. To Be . . . Freedom to choose is the slogan above the en- trance to the B.O.C.E.S. County Center in Westbury. The motto denotes the basic principle of the B.O.C.E.S. (Board of Cooperative Educational Ser- vices) and Vocational Training program. There are approximately 130 Farmingdale High School students attending Vocational Programs at var ious sites in Nassau County. These students are ex- ceptional in that they put in a much longer day than the average student. Those attending a morning pro- gram must catch a 7:15 a.m. bus, and those in the afternoon group do not arrive back at the school until 3:15 p.m. They have to be committed to be able to handle the program, explained Mr. Renzo Gervasoni, the guidance counselor who coordinates the program from this end. Farmingdale’s Vocational Program is a golden opportunity for many students, according to Mr. Ger- vasoni. The program is open to juniors and seniors for a one or two year course. Students can choose from courses ranging from Aircraft Maintenance, to Nurs- ing, to Welding. There are two main B.O.C.E.S. cen- ters—County Center in Westbury. and South East Center in Bellmore, where the bulk of the courses are taught. Also, Aviation is given at Grumman, while Cosmotology and Autoshop are taught in Levittown. There are facilities for Large Animal Care adjacent to the Old Westbury College Campus. There are really no special requirements for enroll- ment in the Vocational Program. All it takes is interest, a certain amount of aptitude in the field and dedica- tion. When I decided to take Cosmotology, my grades and attendance records were checked out before my application was approved, revealed Bonnie Hess, ju- nior. These checks are necessary, according to Mr. Gervasoni, to insure that the student is serious about learning. But for the most part, any student who wishes to take a vocational course is encouraged. In Technical Electronics, if Steve D'Angio doesn't pay careful atten tion to his work, he'll end up with a burnedout circuit or worse, a burned-out hand. B.O.C.E.S 111 . . . Or Not To Be! The life of a student in the Vocational Program is very different from the average. The program involves a greater time commitment for the student. Besides the B.O.C.E.S. course, the students take three courses at the high school. During fifth period all those in the program have lunch. In the cafeteria or in the Com- mons with friends, one can not see any difference between them and other students, but there is a differ- ence. These students, like those in other special pro- grams, have a family-like feeling for the other students in the program, not only those from the high school, but those from other high schools as well. ‘B.O.C.E.S. is great because we meet new friends. All the people here are nice, explained Patricia Heckman, junior. The general misconception about BOCES is that the students in the program are not college-bound, and that they are in the program in order to learn a trade. For the majority of B.O.C.E.S. courses, this is far from the truth. Students in programs such as Nursing. Technical Electronics, Fashion Design and Baking are in B.O.C.E.S. in order to get a jump on their college Even though she knows the injection prepared by Cathy Parsons is only for practice. Rose Studdert is not thrilled about playing the patient. Students at B.O.C.E.S. learn the workings of heavy machinery. Michael Jones, who studies at the power plant, fixes this machine with the help of another B.O.C.E.S. student. curriculum. In these cases the program is a great advantage because it gives students the opportunity to learn skills they need for college. Of course, there are some courses that are designed to provide the student with a practical trade as soon as he graduates from high school, which saves a student the expense of attending a trade school after high school. No matter why they're in the program, the consen- sus is that attending B.O.C.E.S. is a great experience. For many, This is the better part of the day. I look forward to coming here each day, said Steve D An gio, senior. The teachers here are more like friends. We re all like a family, explained Diane Harrington, junior. Stephanie Dickerson, junior, believes, lt‘s a good experience that will aid me in my plans for the future. According to Jim Abele, senior. B.O.C.E.S. is good because it gives a student a sense of maturity. If there’s one thing I've learned in B.O.C.E.S., he said, it is impossible to make anything foolproof, because fools are so ingenious. 112 B.O.C.E.S. Patience With Patients The BOCES program pro- vides students with practical career experience. As its name, the Board of Cooper- ative Extension Services, implies. BOCES serves to give high school students a head start in their chosen ca- reers. usually a technical or manual occupation. Many BOCES students are placed in positions at the Nassau County Medical Center as medical or nurse assistants. One of these students, Maryann Washington, sen- ior, works in the Proctology Department. One might think that this is a rather dull place to work, that noth- ing exciting goes on in Proc- tology. Sometimes, though, a patient will stir up some trouble. Such was the case when a man came in for an examination and refused to allow Maryann to touch him, due to the fact that she was a female. She didn’t know what to do, and finally she called a doctor—a woman doctor. The gentleman was even more adament than ever, demanding to see a male doctor. In a depart- ment such as this, one can well imagine something like this happening. The BOCES students learn as they work. Unfortu- nately. sometimes they are inexperienced in some pro- cedures, and a patient will fail to realize this. Margaret Studdert, junior, found her- self in such a situation. When a female patient asked Margaret to take her blood pressure, Margaret readily complied. When she was through, the woman asked what the reading was. Margaret didn't quite know how to inform the patient that she couldn’t tell her what her pressure was be- cause she hadn't yet learned to read the meter! As medical assistants at BOCES. Laura Parrella and Maryann Wash ington discuss the skeletons in their closet.

The Auto Shop will never forget his unusual way to do the job. The correct way to clean 3EWALT 16 a carburetor is to spray cleaner inside of it while the car is running. However, Karl decided to spray the cleaner on the outside of the part, totally saturating it. When he raced the motor, the engine burst into flames. Luckily, the fire was put out quickly. A nervous Mr. Claps, the shop instructor, had the unfortunate task of explaining the mishap to the owner of the car. Auto Shop gives Karl Lohwasser a chance to work under a car without being crushed. 114 Industrial Arts A World Of Their Own You walk into the room and no one looks up. Faces are drawn in lines of grim determination. These are the students participating in the industri- al arts program. These students take their work seriously, and their efforts show in beautiful pieces of furniture and functional pieces. You may see Anthony Lucchese, a freshman, ardently filing down a piece of wood for his stool. Walk into the auto mechanic shop and find Tom Marino, senior, diligently cleaning an air filter on a car. Why are these students working so enthusiasti- cally on their projects? They’re working on projects which, to them, are more relevant than English, social studies, or science. Thomas Zarek, senior, explained. “When I graduate from high school, I would like to be an auto mechanic and the skills will help me. I have learned everything from simple tune ups to building an entirely new engine. John Haid. a senior from Advanced Electronics Shop, commented. I plan on taking electronics in col- lege; after that I would like to be a computer main- tenance engineer. The skills I'm learning here are giving me a good background. Behind every unique reason for taking shop, there is a unique individual who strives for excel- lence and is trying to broaden his education through skills which he has obtained from the vari- ety of the shops offered here. George Checkers, a freshman in Woodworking Shop remarked, I took Wood Shop so I could learn to use tools properly. Frank A. DeMartino, a senior in print shop said, I took shop so I could make myself things. Whether the students take shop as a hobby, to have something to fall back on in life, to learn how to use machines, or just to kill a period, the exper iences and knowledge gained in these classes are invaluable.

This sort of open atmosphere is conducive to our work.” explained Lizette Galindo, sophomore. The atmosphere is friendly, noted Barbara Setzer, junior. Is it possible that these people are all saying similar things about three different courses? Naturally, if the three courses happen to be Media. Journalism and Acting. Each of these electives, besides being related to the field of communication, is conducted in a free and open manner. Instead of being a distraction to class activities, this sort of atmosphere is actually an aid to the type of work that is going on. The relaxed and friendly atmosphere of the class makes it much easier for me to think and work because I don’t feel pres- sured, commented Julie Purcell, junior and member of the media class. Similar feelings were echoed by students taking each of the other two courses as well. However, just because the atmosphere is free, it does not mean that there is less work. Journalism students are required to hand in one article a week, as well as practicing the basic principles. Media and act- ing classes have similar responsibilities as well. To the dedicated student, all this hard work is worth the effort. Many who take these courses have career plans in the communication field and are looking for exper- ience. Donna Vaughn, senior, is one of these career- minded students. I hope to get a job in radio or television, and since media is a fairly unique course among most high schools, I will have an advantage over the other students when I start college, she explained. Approximately one half of the people who take courses like Acting, Journalism and Media know what they want to do in the future and are looking to get a head start. Others who still are not sure about their career plans are looking for an assortment of different experiences. I took journalism as a chance to en- hance my overall education, commented Mike Maione. sophomore. Of course, there are those stu- dents who simply take the courses for fun. No one can beat the reasoning of senior Mark Ro- maine. When it comes to his feelings on the subject, he explained. I took acting 'cause it’s MarvyT’ Journalism teacher.

One of these occurences deals with ideas for stories. Mr. LoMonico’s main diffi- culty in writing stories is that not much activity that is newsworthy goes on in the average high school. In or- der to get around this, he asked fellow teacher, Mr. Jeff Spiro, to come to class with the “news” of a boiler explosion. This story was, of course, a fable, but the stu- dents, unaware of this, pro- ceeded to ask questions of Mr. Spiro regarding the acci- dent. Mr. LoMonico re- marked. “Some of the best copy turned in all year was on this boiler story. Too bad it wasn't for real.

They are dedicated and smart. They have to be curious and inquisitive. They must be open to new things and be flexible in their thinking. explained Amy Wasp, sophomore, advocate of Justice for the Scientific World. A wide variety of science courses are offered, with the hopes that there will be something for everyone. Although it isn’t required for students to continue taking science in order to graduate, many students continue due to personal interest or career prepara- tion. But no matter what the reason, these fearless science students are usually commended for their diligence for taking something as difficult as a phys- ics course. As sophomore Susan Vecchione, a real science fan explains, I like science because it is interesting; it is always changing because scientists are always find- ing out new things. Apparently students feel this way by the large size of the Science Department. With the quality of courses offered and the many things one can learn from a science course, including E=mc . techniques of observation, logical thinking and reasoning, it's no wonder that science courses are popular. A student can only benefit from choos- ing science as his elective. But first he must sur- mount his fear that the instructor has plan to turn him into a hideous creature with some secret formu- la, as that old stereotype suggests. Bravery and a strong constitution are qualities necessary to Karen Welter's meticulous dissection of an earthworm. Much care is exercised as John Schmitt and Steven Spreizer work on a chemistry lab. Something unappealing, like dissecting frogs, can become an engrossing experience as John Detommaso and Tony Pezzano discover. Science 121 It's Where You Do It!

When asked by Anil Gulati, senior, how he feels about our slacks-centered fashion trends. Papa stated that he finds them confus- ing. He can’t tell the differ- ence between the sexes when both are attired in pants. Maureen Corbett, sen- ior. reacted with astonish- ment.

Selective Electives If you wish to study Ashanti warriors and prenatal care, there are. surprisingly enough, courses for you. They are better known as the 12th grade Social Stud- ies electives and are available through your local guid- ance counselor. The 12th grade electives are a diverse set of courses offered for the individual who wants to further his education. “It’s an experience I’ll never forget!” ex- claimed economics student Erin Dooley. Laura Ghiorsi. African Studies 'expert' stated. I found it interesting learning about cultures I never even knew existed.” These electives deal with such issues as the inner workings of the human mind, childhood in the past and present, how to deal with adult life, the history of man, the environment, and current world events. Mr. Krakowsky, chairman of the Social Stud- ies department stated, The world is an exciting but complex place. The more we know about it, the hap pier and more effective we become. The purpose of the senior electives is to teach the students more about the world.” Though many students choose to take these courses, there are many whose schedules are too full to permit the inclusion of electives. Angelina Mauro, senior, stated, I decided not to take any of the social studies electives because I am already taking some A. P. courses and they keep me busy. I would also like to have a few free periods.” Many social studies elective courses are offered when other major classes are being given. When coming down to the decision of whether to take a full-year course or one of the half-year social studies electives, many students tended to choose one of the full-year courses. But the diverse choice of electives attracted my seniors who benefited from their experiences. Social Studies 125 The Select Few Imagine a class with no assigned seats, no tests, and no set curruculum. This is a class in which the free dom and creativity of the student are given top prior- ity. In this class one student might be preparing for the future while a student adjacent to him is enjoying the present as a hobby. Although to most students this might seem like a dream, students taking Art discover it to be a reality. The Art program provides many students with a relief from the tedious work of heavy subjects. This is one class where you can do what you want to do. My other classes are more restricted, explained Deb bie Korbet, senior. Most of the students feel that the relaxed atmo- sphere provides an additional aspect to the class. The informal atmosphere helps me to express free- dom and creativity. stated Jill Ziccardi, senior. Gina Labriola, senior, added, You need a lot of freedom in Art. The teachers leave you to work at your own pace. but they offer help whenever you need it. ’ Although the student gets great enjoyment out of completing a project, he isn't the only one who bene fits. The art work of the students is exhibited in art galleries for the rest of the school to view. Some of the artists also enter their works in competition through out the year. Many of these students also find themselves prepar ing for a career in Art. Elise Schreiner, senior, stated. I'm in the class not only for enjoyment but also because I want to get more out of art. and this class allows me to do that.” The art courses offered give the student an appre- ciation for art as seen in everyday life. Careers in interior decorating, architecture, technical illustration, medical illustration, advertising design, editorial de- sign and photography all stem from the basics learned in class. 126 Art The school play offers Corrine Grillo a chance to use her artistic talent Abstract art is just one of the many abilities of artist Evonne Smith. °9| � ofl The Linoleum Block Printer, worked here by Richard D'Agnessa, is used regularly in Art class.

Art Studio Art Drawing Painting Advertising Design Creative Crafts Ceramics Sculpture Textile Graphics Photography Advanced Placement Art My Blue Heaven Some people believe that being an art teacher means handing out a lump of clay to students or putting out some paint and brushes and instructing them to do some- thing with it. But is isn't al- ways that simple. Many times an art teacher must start at the beginning. Even the basics cannot be taken for granted. Mr. Sher- man. an art teacher, re- called, “One day I was watching a junior mixing col- ors. I offered my help but she said that she was only trying to make primary blue.” Art 127 French Basic Skills French 4 Skills 1 French 4 Skills 2 French 4 Skills 3 French 4 Skills 4, 5 French 4 Skills 4 French 4 Skills 5 Spanish Basic Skills Spanish 4 Skills 1 Spanish 4 Skills 2 Spanish 4 Skills 3 Spanish 4 Skills 4. 5 Spanish 4 Skills 4 Spanish 4 Skills 5 Spanish Listening and Speaking 1 Spanish Listening and Speaking 4 Spanish Listening and Speaking 5 German 4 Skills 1 German 4 Skills 2 German 4 Skills 3 German 4 Skills 4 Italian Basic Skills Italian 4 Skills 1 Italian 4 Skills 2 Italian 4 Skills 3 Latin 1 Latin 2 Double Identity Transferring from one cul- ture to another isn't so easy, as one Latin American-born student discovered. Because of his two last names, he re- ceived double I.B.M. cards and double cuts. This, need- less to say, caused many se- vere problems. Unfortunate- ly, for him. though, the school didn't double his grades! Exercises, when done on the black board, are not only beneficial to the person, like John Krapp. who does it. but is an aid to the entire class. On Foreign Soil Wer eine Fremdesprache nicht kennt. weiss nicht von seinen eighenen.” Goethe He who does not know a foreign language, knows nothing about his own. Pueblo que pierde su idioma pierdi su independen- cia. Jose' Mart. A country that loses its language, loses its indepen- dence. There are many instances when knowing a foreign language is important. Traveling, reading menus, watching foreign films and even English sentence structure rely upon a foreign language in one way or another. The Foreign Language Department is well aware of this. That is why 56 foreign language classes are offered. This year showed an increase of interest in learn- ing a foreign language. Now that students can choose among Spanish, French, German. Italian, and Latin, there was a more personalized reason for tak- ing a language. I'm glad for the opportunity to study German in high school since it's a career interest,” explained senior, Norma Rugen. While years ago, students had picked Spanish over French at a four to one ratio, this year there was an even distribution of students taking each language. Latin was added to the curriculum this year after several years of trying to bolster the enrollment. This revived interest was due to the Introduction to Language Program that started a few years ago. There were also many students continuing their language after they took the regents. This produced a need for our advanced courses. Marcy Fishman, senior, stated, Travel, a possible career and just enjoying the language were a few of the reasons I continued in language.” 128 Language Latin instructor. Mr. Smith, pauses to answer a student's question. While students are busy working. Mrs. Wayne takes the time to review a homework paper. Language 129 We Got Rhythm A new spirit of enthusiasm and pride resounded from every corner of the school. This spirit was par- ticularly loud and strong in the brass notes, violin strains and high scales coming from the music rooms. With a vast increase in the amount of students enrolling in music courses, it's no wonder that this spirit is overflowing, according to the directors of the groups. Mr. Peter Tomforde of the orchestra, Mr. Brad DeMilo and Ms. Stacey Radin of the band and Mrs. Mary Allison of the chorus (also instructor of the Music Theory Classes). We are all trying hard to make each year better than the last, explained Mr. Tomford. “But it wouldn’t be possible without the dedication of the students. This year many changes and improvements were made in the Music Department. The most obvious of these was the splitting of the band. This change oc- curred soon after the end of the Marching Band sea- son. For the remainder of the year, there were two bands, one led by Mr. DeMilo and the other led by Ms. Radin. This wasn't a major change for the freshmen Rotation rehearsals are a must for a musical group to sound well, this is why Mrs Allison insists on chorus members attend mg each one from Howitt, who were accustomed to having more than one band. It was a different story for the old band members, some of whom felt bad at being put into Ms. Radin's band. But this wasn't Mr. DeMilo’s choice. We had to split the band because of the size, he said. During a concert, we all couldn’t fit on the auditorium stage, and it just isn't fair to force some people to play off stage, where they can’t be seen. If there was anyway to get around it, I would have liked not to split us up. And by no means did I want them (Radin's students) to feel like step-children . Ms. Ra din added. For any trips or special projects, both bands will work together. The only difference is that we will perform seperately and do different music. I want my kids to be just as good as Mr. DeMilo's band. We work just as hard. Everybody in the Music Department works hard. Taking chorus, band, orchestra, or even Music The- ory. isn't as easy as it might seem. But these students feel it's worthwhile. Band Chorus Orchestra Music Theory 1 Music Theory 2 Rehearsal ABC's In Chorus, as in any other musical group, the music is divided into rehearsal sec- tions, labled with letters.

Several are here to do service for the school, some are here to teach, a few are here to supervise, but most are here to learn. Behind the faces in each picture are memories of good times and bad, special events, and friendships, and those rare experiences that can only happen once. The surprised look on Head Custodian, Nick LaMorte’s face when he isfovered the dead chick- en on top of a loudspeaker in one of the halls, Mrs. Allison fornfing the first Teachers' Chorus, Rob Ferrigno's friendship with Mr. Durban—these are the recollections that changed the black-and-white figures into people. Zzzmmbbiinngg! That :; 2% alarm! Another day of school groan! Well, I guess I have to get up don’t I? Aww, rats . . This may sound familiar to most students, but surprising- ly, it is a feeling which is shared by their counter parts • the teachers. A teacher, too, must get up at the crack of dawn, quickly eat his or her Wheaties and get ready to go; this even earlier than the students, seeing as how most teachers live farther away from the high school than students do. Some are even located as far away as Manhattan, in which case driving to school each day presents an in- convenience. Nevertheless, once arrived, vehicle secured in a parking space safe from potentially dangerous Driver Education students, the facul- ty member must sign in and prepare right away for the first period class, a procedure which was new this year, homeroom being switched from the traditional onset of the day to in between first and second periods. For many teachers, this was as hard to become accustomed to as it was for students. Mrs. Meyers typing teacher, remarked. It's hard to get used to not having homeroom first, but I'll tell you one thing • attendance first period is much better. The majority of the day for the teachers, of course, is spent in the classroom. It is here, after all, that their lives come in contact with those of the students; it is here that the give and take of knowledge is experienced by both parties. Yet for some students, the time spent with a teacher stretches beyond classroom time. Many teach- ers have been caring enough to give of them selves so that young people might have a full high school experience after the 2:00 bell. Advisers of the various after-school clubs and sports give time and effort with not much reward or recognition save the friendships formed with students and the good times shared. Mr. Ulric, director of the Playcrafters explained, “I am in- volved with the play because I really enjoy it. It gives me a chance to see kids out of class and work with those who are highly-motivated. Some teachers get so involved as to take part in student functions as well, such as the Prom, Homecoming and the plays. But after the school day has ended, the inevi- table awaits teachers too . . . Homework! Grading papers and tests to teachers is almost as exas- perating as taking them is to students. Some teachers though can share this pain with those at home, particularly their spouses; several husband-wife teams exist in our school. Believe it or not, teachers do have families and hobbies to keep them occupied outside of school. Tennis, boating, a good Broadway play-are all ways of relaxing after the pressures of school. The best way, however, has got to be a good night’s rest-a chanceto perhaps dream of what they'd love to be if not teachers, or to have nightmares about union strikes and insuf- ferable students-before getting up to start the school day all over again.

Mr. DeMilo gives fecere private lessons at his home. - T j Getting There After years of walking to school as a stu- dent—trudging through knee-deep snow or baking under the hot sun, after hitching a ride on a cold, overcrowded school bus, one would imagine that the adult teacher would be thrilled to be able to drive to school. But it’s really not all that simple. Most teachers do not live, as students do, right here in Farmingdale or Massapequa. They come from various towns all over the Island, some even as far as New York City. With the high cost and inconvenience of mass transit, these teachers have resorted to form- ing carpools with their fellow workers. The carpool method of getting to school has its advantages as well as disadvantages. Aside from the obvious advantage of saving money and gas, another plus of riding togeth- er is that there is always support in case of a car breakdown. It saves a lone teacher from having to change a tire all by his or herself, and if they have to be late to school because of it, they won’t the only one to sign the Late Book. English teacher Mr. Schwinn, who shares the ride with Dr. Zaphiris, Ms. Vining, Mrs. Shapiro, Mr. Reichold, and Mrs. Feld- haus, explains another benefit, Going to school in a carpool makes the ride a lot shorter. You get to talk to friends and hear the gossip about what’s going on in the other departments. Another advantage of having someone else drive is that the passenger, hopefully not the driver, can sometimes catch up on nap time. There are disadvantages to carpools, too. For instance, if a teacher would like to stay after school to work with a student, attend an event or get involved with a club, the rest of the carpool probably wouldn’t want to stay. The teacher with no other means of getting home has no choice but to refrain from the afterschool activities. Activities outside of school also conflict with a carpool. English teacher Mr. LoMonico, who carpools with Guidance counselor Mr. Stiano and also teaches a course at the Aggie School two days a week, finds his transportation situation confusing. It really gets nuts! he laughed. The carpool LoMonico used to belong to is the one now consisting of Mr. Monteleone, Mr. Setteducati, Mr. Duncan, Mr. Murphy, Mr. Hoffman and sometimes, ( when we let him ), Mr. Rose. The bunch, described by one teacher, as seeming like members of a college fraternity, is always energetic and full of jokes. Monteleone explained, We kid around about colleagues and students in a good-na- tured way, of course. By the time we get to school we’re all charged up! Many teachers find that carpooling not only saves gas, time and money, but also enhances their lives by forming new bonds with their colleagues. Michael Ackerman: Guidance Madeline Ahern: Adv.

Off in the corners were more puzzled faces reading maps. To whom did these faces belong? The new teach- ers from the junior high schools, of course! Because of the closing of Mill Lane Junior High School, many teachers from there, as well as the rival junior high, Weldon E. Howitt, were forced to 'graduate” along with their students to the high school. It was a big transi- tion for all. The daily experience of the teach- ers, as well as the freshman and sophomores, was quite different this year. They were over- whelmed by the size of the high school. With three wings, one could easily get lost. I got lost more than once,” explained Mr. James Gordon, Social Studies teacher. “I feel like a small fish in a large pond,” philosophized Mr. Hamlin, another teacher of Social Studies. There was a mixture of feelings when the teachers found out they were going to the high school. Changes are good, but certain things were missed, such as the teachers lounges, closeness of friends and familiarity with a school. After a few days, however, the new teachers felt at home. New colleagues were friendly and made them feel like they belonged, although, as Mr. Roger Schroeder, English teacher, said, It’s hard to meet all of the teachers; I still don’t know many of them.” Regardless, the atmosphere became a fa- miliar one, and overall, the teachers were pleased with the high school. As for the stu- dents at the high school, teachers felt they were more responsible and mature than those in junior high. The courses are more ad- vanced but students can handle the work. Mr. Hamlin commented, “There is more of a lati- tude on how to teach and that is good.” Sever- al teachers switched levels of their subject, and some even switched subjects. A very hap- py teacher, Mr. Philip Husted. had taught so- cial studies, but this year he switched to math. I love math. I had gotten tired of social studies, he explained. Each school year brings changes, both good and bad. These changes add variety which makes each year brand new and excit- ing. For the new teachers, the challenges of this year made it a great one. 138 People Faculty Paul Bruno: Gen Wood. Gen.

Of course, they are; for these are the words which students shout joyously whenever they see a substitute teacher in their classrooms. The typical day of a sub is surely a day like none other experienced by a regular tea- cher.Never knowing what to expect, the sub- stitute has to have a lot of courage and pa- tience. Senior Angelina Mauro stated, I would never want to be a sub: it’s a bad job with a lot of headaches. From attendance lists including the names of Ben Gay” and Susie Chapstick to general rowdiness, stu- dents have always given the sub a hard time. In describing the plights of a sub, Jim Roman- elli, senior, exclaims, This guy is in trouble! Many students feel that the subs are a waste of time. Senior Billy Baffo feels, You really don’t learn anything with a sub, and you don’t get anything out of the class. Per- haps this is the reason for the attitude of most students toward subs, summed up in one word by sophomore Rob Criscione: Cut! Some students feel that it would be more beneficial not to attend sub-taught classes at all because sometimes the sub knows less about the subject than the kids. At times sub means free period”. In- stead of having a substitue teacher, the class is cancelled and the kids are free , en- abling them to hang out in the Commons, catch up on work, or even go home. This giv’eS students more responsibility and shows that the administration believes they are ma- ture enough to take on this extra freedom. Freshman Pat Reilly comments, It is better than junior high school because you don’t feel you’re being babysat. Even though students have a negative attitude and often want to give the sub a hard time, some substitutes are treated with re- spect. Mrs. Keller, who has been subbing for the past 20 years, really enjoys it. Very rare- ly do I get abuse from students. Maybe it’s because they know me, she stated. Mr. Katz, who has been subbing here for a short time, also finds no problems with Farming- dale students. Having taught at other schools, such as Syosset, Jericho and Plainedge, he has come to the conclusion that our school is the best because students are more disci- plined and mature. He feels subbing is very challenging because he faces a new class ev- ery day. He usually teaches social studies but occasionally subs for other classes. Katz feels, this is good because it gives me an opportunity to learn the subject. Substitute teachers may or may not be liked by all, but Senior Patti Jean Hicks ex- plains, It breaks up the monotony of the day which is something we all need. Even substitutes can offer extra help to confused stu- dents, as Mrs. Salomon demonstrates. People Faculty 141 Students enduring a seemingly endless lecture tend to start daydreaming. They never imagine, however, that teachers too have their own .... Students about to graduate from high school have a vast world ahead of them full of zillions of careers and occupations from which to choose. Teachers, of course, went through that decision making process a long time ago and came up with their present occupation. But they can still dream, can't they? When teachers were asked what they would be if they could be anything in the world other than a teacher, the responses were quite interesting. Although the jobs varied greatly, one thing almost every teacher agreed on was that they wanted to be a millionaire. Phys- ical Education teacher William Annis, who loves his present job specified, “I'd like to be a millionaire who could have the luxury of teaching.” Many of the teachers dream of careers in performing. Language teacher Mr. Smith would like to be an actor of trage- dies. English teacher Mrs. Kahn at one time would have liked to have been an actress, although now her dream is to be a writer. Other teachers would like to be mu- sicians, such as Mr. Setteducati and Mr. Monteleone of the English department and science teacher Mr. Gelbman, all members of The Rhythm Dukes, a rock group. Mon teleone commented, I'd like to be able to strut around like Mick Jagger. If I did that here, people would think I was a little strange.” Gelbman, aside from wanting to be a world-famous rock star, would enjoy being a Scuba-diver. Alternate School math teacher Mr. Sherrin would prefer to live the life of a merchant seaman. Td have six months at sea and six months to do whatever I wanted, he mused. Some teachers have career desires which they actually are working toward at present. Mr. Kroon, industrial arts teacher, would like to be a school administrator, a degree that he's working on right now. Mr. Lyons. Alternate School Social Studies teacher, is a full-fledged attorney. Mr. Rose, English teacher, would like to be a diamond setter. He sells jewelry wholesale as a second job. For some teachers, such as Mrs. Master- son, social studies teacher, there was nev- er a doubt in her mind about becoming a teacher, although she wouldn't mind being a business executive. All the teachers seem happy with being what they are. though after a long, exas- perating day in the classroom, they may tend to wonder if their career choice was the right one!

After Hours As the 2:00 bell rings, students run franti- cally to their buses and teachers rush impa- tiently to their carpools. As the dust settles in their wake, a few teachers and students re main — the dedicated few that form the nerve center of school activities. Afterschool activities help to strengthen re lationships between students and faculty members. Each gets to see the other in a different role. As Ms. Karen Lund, English teacher emphasized, I feel it’s healthy to see students in environments other than the classroom. Sherry Sacco, senior, agreed, I think it’s a good idea for the teachers to come in contact with the students outside of school. Many students feel inspired when they see the faculty at school functions, expe- cially at athletic events. John DeTomasso, senior, explains, We (the players) represent the athletic aspect of the school and they (the teachers) represent the academic. I feel the two should be brought together. Mr. Patrick Healy, twelfth grade dean, be- comes involved in afterschool activities. Mr. Healy pointed out, I go to all the football and basketball games. Perhaps the reason other events don't have many spectators is the re- sult of little publicity. Another possibility is that many events are held at the ’wrong time.' Yet, they are still enjoyed by some. Home- coming was excellent. Anyone who couldn’t have a good time there couldn't have a good time anywhere, Mr. Healy strongly ex- pressed. The rally was an event that took place on school time, and although it was easy to attend, many teachers did not. Other functions are not attended by some teachers because of outside commitments. Since sporting events were held on the week- ends. it was difficult for them to attend. Dress Down Day was a popular tradition with the faculty, and because it was staged during school hours, all teachers were able to enjoy it. Mr. John Corio, Driver Education teacher, seemed all for the intermingling of students and teachers. Because of my athletic back- ground, I attend almost all the athletic events. I feel it builds up more rapport between the students and faculty. This helps both socially and in teaching, Mr. Corio stated. Some teachers don’t go because of other commit- ments. I try to make time for the events. I guess you could call me a SUPERFAN! Susanne Leahy: English 9 Rosalie Lebenick: Physical Ed., Cheerleaders. Girls' Leaders Su- san Levin: Economics. Childhood.

Missing from the room was Miss Carol Lindeman, my friend and biol- ogy teacher. Her illness subjected her to an- other hospital stay. My thoughts travelled to the Animal Room: I bet both Science Club members and animals missed their friend. I have leukemia,” Miss Lindeman ex- plained to me after her first absence from school. How it bothered her to be away from her biology students! Throughout her hospi- talization in June of 1981, she worried about her students’ regents review. Every evening at 8:40, after seeing her mother off at the end of the visiting hours. Miss Lindeman phone— tutored her students. A few of the nurses lovingly teased her, for they understood. They remembered the days when she was their teacher. Her dedication manifested itself in her actions. Miss Lindeman was a 'giver”; and as she gave, she received. In college. Miss Lindeman contemplated a career in veterinary sciences, but something drew her to teaching. Her patience couldn’t have been better directed than to the high school classroom. Once she spent forty min- utes explaining a topic to a befuddled student, mindless that it was her own time. I’m not alone when I say I admired Miss Lindeman and still do. For two and a half years Miss Lindeman fought leukemia. After her hospitalization this past December, she returned to school opti- mistic and ready to work. Still recuperating from an upper respiratory infection, she planned to announce for a local horse show (another of her activities). After I expressed my concern about her health, she smiled. I’m just going to go on with my life.’’ Since December 20, we’ve continued on with our lives without our beloved friend but always reflection on the courage and drive Carol Lindeman has given each and every one of us.

How many students believe that they are fated to have a second life at the high school, but not as stu- dents—as teachers! Amazingly, there are over 20 graduates who are now working at F.H.S. They each fulfilled their fated'' teaching role in different ways. Some graduates were em- ployed in different schools previous to coming here, and joining this staff was merely coinci- dental. For others, Farmingdale was their ho- metown. and because of loyalty and deep com- munity roots, some sought positions here. One case dealt with precognition. “Somehow, re- veals Mrs. Christine Friedman, I often envi- sioned myself teaching in an English room here in the high school. When asked which they preferred, their life as a student or their routine as a teacher, most graduates replied that they enjoyed both equal ly, yet most favored life as a student. Mrs. Norena Soumakis commented, “ You have more to look forward to as a student. I guess you enjoyed more success. The teachers agreed that the times and stu- dent life have greatly changed, and on the whole, for the better. Nowadays, the school is more crowded, but the student-teacher relation- ships are closer and warmer than in previous years. These relationships are envied by teach- ers who wished they could have been as close with their teachers. Yet, some teacher-gradu- ates have good memories of student-teacher relationships. I valued my relationships with my teachers when I was a student, and now we've become colleagues. observed Ms. Ka- ren Lund. It's certainly strange that so many teachers did go to school here and now have a chance to work in an extremely familiar environment. “Never in a million years, remarked Mr. Brad DeMilo, did I ever think that I’d end up here. It still comes as a shock to me when I sign in at 7 A.M. and think, ‘I'm still here!’ Farmingdale Alumni Teachers: (from right to left) Row I: Robert Orkus. Christine Friedman. Joy Jorgensen.

Word Process- ing ■' ’ : ;. • f m % One of the areas covered by French teacher Mrs. Vita Wayne in her classes is the French people and their exciting culture. Mrs. Wayne herself, however, has had quite an exciting life of her own. She started performing as a dancer at age two and later became interested in the dramatic arts. I love to dance, and part of dancing is dramatics so I became a drama major at N.Y.U., she ex- plained. While attending school. Mrs. Wayne happened to land a walk-on role on a televesion show. After two years of college. Mrs. Wayne interrupted her studies to do some modeling in fashion shows and for a French house called Jaques Heim. I modeled a French design the first time it appeared in America.” she re- flected. She gave up modeling for marriage but after a few years went back to school to study languages. I have a love of languages, and I wanted to learn more about them. Mrs. Wayne ex- plained. Although she had no plans to make a career of it. a professor whom she admired recommended that she get a degree in teaching, and she took his advice. I feel you have to try and make your dreams come true, or you'll always won- der about what you could have been, she concluded. Anything I've ever wanted to do, I have done or will do. They Come And They Go Suddenly, a girl's eyes widen in awe as she recognizes a character on her soap opera. This respected, powerful man in the televi- sion drama is no aloof, unapproachable star, but the man who taught her acting at Farm- ingdale High School. Mr. William Lawrence taught at Farmingdale High for 25 years. After his teaching career ended, Mr. Lawrence decided to pursue his dream, to be an actor. He first became interested in drama in col- lege. Many of my friends were actors at St. Peter's College. I decided to try out and was cast.” His appearances there launched him into a variety of roles, including Stanley Kowalski in Streetcar Named Desire. Willy Loman in Death of a Salesman and Cassius in Julius Caesar. Even with his acting career off to a promis- ing start with parts in the films Annie and Family Reunion. Mr. Lawrence looks back on his teaching days fondly. It was an apprecia- ble part of my life which I enjoyed. I miss the students more than anything else. Mr. Lawrence has advice for aspiring ac- tors. You can’t always start on Broadway. he continued. Perseverance is most impor- tant in acting. Talent doesn't hurt, either. His talent and perseverance guarantee Mr. Lawrence a rewarding career in acting. Future students will be awestruck by the well-known actor who once taught at their school just as today's students are inspired by his example of a man who dared to follow his dream. People Faculty 149 Homey Work Daddy? Yes? Where do you go during the day? To school. You mean, just like me? Well, yes, but I go the a high school, for bigger kids. Why? are you a big kid, Daddy? Well, I guess you could say that! That’s where I work though. Oh. Daddy? Yes? Can I see your report card? Many teachers and faculty members even those most ominous and seemingly “sub-hu- man , indeed have families of their own at home, despite popular belief. Somewhere in between all those hours students believe must be spent in a library or something, the teacher manages to sandwich in trips to the circus or a ballgame or two with his children. Of course, students are not really naive to the fact that teachers have a family life. Some teachers even enjoy talking about their per sonal lives in class. I think it really improves student-teacher relations when the teachers can talk to us as friends, humans, comment- ed Rob Ferrigno, senior. German teacher Mrs. Jane Mooney, who last year gave birth to a baby girl, found support and happy enthusi- asm from her class. Norma Rugen, senior, recalled. We were all very excited for her. We were interested in finding out how she was. and what the baby’s weight and sex were. Someone even called the hospital, pos ing as her sister, to try and find out. Some teachers involve their children in school activities, and thus students often get to know them well and see their teachers in a different light. Mr. Ken Cllric. producer of the fall and spring plays, lets his son play the parts of young children in the productions, and Playcrafters have gotten to know David quite well. Mr. Tom Duncan, teacher of Hu- manities 11, often brings his son on some of the many field trips the Humanities class takes. We call his kids Duncan’s Munch- kins! exclaimed Gary Cirillo, senior. Of course, some teachers don't have any children, but many of them, as well as the teachers that do. have pets to fill that void, not the kinds of teachers’ pets found in the classroom mind you, but the cute little furry kind—or feathered, as the case may be. Mr. Orkus is the proud owner of a parrot named Jellybean . Many of the other faculty mem- bers are dog owners, and interestingly enough, the names they picked for their pets are very characteristic. English teacher Mr. LoMonico named his dog Grendel after the character in the classic literary work Beowulf: Spanish teacher Mrs. Perez calls her pooch Can (Kahn) which is simply the Spanish word for dog; gym teacher Mr. Parks refers to his canine companion as Trophy ; and Mr. LaMorte, head custodian and handyman, dubbed his hound Knuckles. So the next time you hear the familiar ex- cuse My dog ate it or The baby spit up on it,” perhaps it won’t be the student that forgot to do his homework.

Service With A Smile Upon entering the grade offices, you are confronted by the noise of the typewriter, telephones ringing and the many people hur- rying around. Mrs. Marie Murphy, the twelfth grade secretary, is busily figuring out aver- ages and making transcripts for various stu- dents. Mrs. Murphy, a friendly and happy employee of the school for fourteen years, loves her job. She said, The students are very friendly . they make me feel young. ’ Mrs. Murphy is just one of the six grade office secretaries who take care of the various needs of the confident and confused students that straggle in throughout each period. All of them keep student records, and the ninth and tenth grade secretaries start the official high school transcripts, which are later completed and sent out to colleges by the eleventh and twelfth grade secretaries. The two grade of- fices were set up as they were, two grades in each, as a result of the ninth graders’ arrival this year. Previously, the three grades had their own offices. Do the secretaries feel crowded and inconvenienced by this switch? Not really, right now , explained Mrs. Mary Jane Farrell. At first, in September it was chaos, Mrs. Murphy continued, but it’s calmed down a bit. The grade office secretaries are not the only important clerical workers in the build- ing, however. The secretaries in the main of- fice, library, health office and main guidance office do their fair share of typing, filing, and filling out forms, among other duties. The main office secretaries perhaps don’t come in contact with the students as much as the others since they basically cater to the admin- istration and faculty, but they are an integral part of this instrumental team. Many secretaries often do form friendly re- lationships with the students. The students are fantastic exclaimed ninth grade secretary, Mrs. Eugenia Fitzsimmons. I love them all— the good ones and the bad ones! Mrs. Mur- phy feels that the high school is very well run and the students are a big part of it. The Farmingdale students have always been nice, but this year, they are even more friendly and courteous than ever, she stated, smiling. Whether they are known by students or not, these women are the backbone of the school without which we could not function.

What were a bunch of adults doing playing musical chairs? Were they playing out a sec- ond childhood? No. they weren’t really play- ing musical chairs, but it seemed that way with all of the rearranging of positions in the Administration. Teaching is the most challenging position to have. The position I now have is a different kind of challenge,” explained Mrs. Noreen Rogers, who switched from teaching Special Education to being Chairperson of Special Education. When speaking about his switch from Driver’s Education teacher to Dean, Mr. Peter Cerrone stated, I deal more with the faculty this year than in the past.’’ Mr. Arthur Sumbler, our new Assistant Principal who last year was Assistant to the Principal, agreed. ”1 have more contact with the teachers. A very different change took place involv- ing the PSEN classes (the students take courses to improve their reading, writing, and mathematics). The Math and English Depart- ment chairpeople in the past were in charge of these subjects. This year Mrs. Eileen Lam- dan became Reading Chairperson and PSEN Coordinator in addition to teaching for four periods. Now there is a department just for PSEN, and this staff can work harder for the students involved. As Mrs. Lamdan put it, We are trying to help the students reach their potential. This year the teachers are working together in the three areas to help the students. As faculty and administration move up the ladder, are they losing contact with the stu- dents? Mr. Douglas Begeal, Principal, said, It’s lonely. Surprisingly, however, both Mr. Begeal and Mr. Sumbler seem to have more contact with the student body this year than last. Mr. Begeal in the past observed the staff and involved himself with the scheduling and guidance. Now he is in charge of discipline and attends Student Council meetings and as many assemblies as he can. I try to go to all of the ninth and tenth grade assemblies, and I get involved with the Special Education stu- dents, added Mr. Sumbler. Being part of the administration requires much more paper work and time. Mr. Peter Cerrone states, It's interesting. His new po- sition helps him to understand all sides of the educational process. Principal John McLennan, on leave this year, returns to school often to take part in various activities, such as the FBLA dinner. People Administration 155 A New Beginning In June of 1966. this school saw the graduation of what would become an extinct breed — a graduating class that had spent all four of its high school years here in the high school building. For nineteen years the freshman class had inhabited not one but two places. Part of the class was at Mill Lane while the rest was at Howitt. Finally this year, the freshmen returned from exile, so to speak, and Farmingdale was a full four-year high school again. It had a positive influence on many freshmen, like Edward Tallarine. who felt the high school is 'big, crowded, and full of new faces and activities.” Most issues have two sides, and this one was no exception. There were those fresh- men who would have rather stayed in the junior high where they would have been al most like seniors instead of freshmen. It’s not fair that we didn't get what the freshmen before us received, such as a chance to put together our own yearbook. commented Selina Regan. Darren Broder added. I missed the class trip at the dude ranch.” One of the worst parts about coming to the high school for our freshman year,” accord- ing to Linda Klenovich, is that we missed out on our chance to be the oldest class in the school. Now we have to start out on the bottom all over again. For the most part, life at the high school agreed with most freshmen. Being the youngest in the school doesn't bother me. stated Frances Regan. It helps you to ma- ture faster, and the teachers treat you more like adults. They’re less strict here than at the junior high, added Meryl Camer. The high school also offers many clubs and activities for freshmen that they wouldn't have had an opportunity to partici- pate in if they were still at the junior high. Most people think that extra curricular ac- tivities are the best part about school. The freshmen were being offered one more year in which to participate. Almost every club was open to freshmen. Jarrod Bagatell ex- plained. A freshman is allowed to go out for a sport of his choice. Whether or not he makes it is determined, as with any student, by his skill. At first the new freshmen were a little disoriented and confused by the large and ominous high school . But after a short time this once believed-to-be-extinct breed known as a freshman class attending the actual high school proved itself capable of survival. The class fundraiser must be as organized as possible. President Kelly Connors. Treasurer Andrew Manzo. and Secretary Nyssa Reine work laboriously to keep the re- cords of who owes money and who doesn't up-to-date. Many students, including Michelle Russo, find that hav- ing homeroom between first and second periods is prime time to find yourself explaining to Mr McSweeney about how your foot was just about in the door as the bell rang. 136 Freshman Class More electives are offered in the high school than the junior high. Jill Hatzfeld takes advantage of an art class where she molds her clay into a horse s head Two worlds combine as the High School takes on the burden of the freshmen Freshman Class 157 United Again The 1981 1982 school year was considered the year of Pac-Man, Leg Warmers and Ru- bik's Cubes. This also was the year the Howitt Class of 1981 met their Mill Lane counter- parts in their final journey through secondary education at the Senior High. Many sophomores agreed that the High School offered a great amount of freedom to its students, more so than Howitt or Mill Lane. Many students felt that being here gave them a chance to grow up and allowed more free- dom to make their own decisions. Some of those decisions are about the future, the most typical one is “what do I want to do after graduation? Denise Keyer, sophomore, felt, “Some of the High School activities allow us to make decisions for ourselves that will have an outstanding effect on our futures. Mi- chelle Puccia, sophomore, also agreed, “Be- ing involved in activities provided us with a chance to become involved with our school, and provided us with a wide variety of elec- tives to help us decide what career our future may hold.” For some sophomores, three years from now is too far ahead to make any final plans, but the upcoming junior year will hold its own uniqueness. The first major excitement will be the class rings. Future juniors wait with anticipation until that day when they can be a part of the world of upperclassmen. This past year, soph- omores went from door to door asking if any- one would like to buy a candle in hopes of obtaining any credit possible on their rings. All sophomores, like Eileen Keyer, are “really looking forward to purchasing my school ring and finally having that feeling of recognition that comes with the ring. Everyone has some type of goal in life. The high school helps along in making these im- portant decisions. Maybe 1982 really wasn't so outstanding, but to the class of 1984, it will be remembered as the first of three totally new, exciting and unique years that will be long remembered. 158 Sophomore Class The competition of participating in class fund drives inspires Mary Jacob to sell as many candles as possible Vice-President Paula Procida hands Mary another box Each year the class officers design their own class ring Along with a unique design, there is a wide variety of ring styles from which to choose. Amy Cohen. Lori Orr. Karen Scheel and Rosemary LoBianco await their turn to be fitted for their rings. Sophomore Class 159 Stuck In The Middle All the waiting and anticipation finally paid off this October when the 1983 class rings arrived. Its collegiate design and the excite- ment it brought gave many juniors a sudden surge of school spirit. It gives me a feeling of pride when I’m out in public,” Paul Sheridan commented. School pride was also a built-in feature of the Junior Prom. It is one of the biggest social events of a student s life. It is always a gala event and one of the year’s highlights. The excitement of choosing the Galaxie as the prom location and May 7th as the date was almost as exciting as selecting the theme and bands. East Coast and Mazarin. The prom is a tradition. I had a good time; my expecta tions proved correct, Jim Schmitt respond- ed. Some juniors were worried about standard- ized tests which have gained more and more importance, making getting into a college harder. Rather than measure a person’s intel- ligence. they measure a person’s ability to fill in a bubble, exclaimed Mike Oxman. The SATs, ACTs, and ACHs are some of the many exams which are thrown at students with such fervor that it knocks many off balance. I hated taking those tests. By the time I got to the last section, I was exhausted. All I wanted to do was finish and go home, re- called Jeanine Ingrassia. Despite the worries, the Junior Class showed great school spirit. Their enthusiasm won them first place in the Homecoming Weekend events. The fundraisers and school events they sponsored were very successful. The juniors are looking forward to being sen- iors. In spite of pessimistic views held by some students, the majority of the class is ready to go on the bigger and better things. Once a year, juniors find themselves up until all hours of the night typing their term papers in hopes of obtaining a passing grade To begin the annual candy sale. Secretary Jackie Terry addresses the class about their financial situation while President Connne Barrett and Vice President Vicki Bran- ston listen. 160 Junior Class With the arrival of rings. Jim Schmitt's school spirit is heightened. While the team was advancing toward the goal. Fran Marcus. Laura Pietrowski. and Vicki Branston were busy selling refreshments at football games. Junior Class 161 Focus Changes charged Farmingdale High with new energy. Entering Freshmen introduced a new naivete to the school. A new principal rose to its command. A returning spirit sparked its life and fused the old and new. 750 seniors expected their last year of high school to follow an old tradition of relaxed rules and comfortable familiarity. Instead they were greeted by a few surprises. 29 seniors were forced to graduate in Janu- ary or face termination of their Social Security benefits. Without these benefits, their families couldn’t bear the financial strain of a child in college. One of the most unsettling of the changes concerned the schedule. Under the new admin- istration of Mr. Begeal, homeroom was reshuf- fled to follow first period. Seniors’ reactions were not as enthusiastic as might have been hoped for. “I don’t like it at all.” commented Jeff Rosenberg, senior. I feel that homeroom gives us a chance to relax before we start the day. I would perform much better during first period if I didn’t have to go directly to it. A feeling of increased strictness permeated the now-crowded halls. 'Many times I’ve been stopped by teachers this year. Last year they usually let me through. reported a student who requested to remain anonymous. The drop out rate of this senior class was the lowest in recent years. Only one percent of the class left school. The lower drop-out rate was attributed by some to a revitalized school spirit. School spirit is on the rise, according to Vincent Napodano. The good turn out at many social events proves this for some. Still, others, like John Capobianco, senior, feel, There’s room for improvement.” Perhaps another manifestation of the boost in school spirit is the pride taken in the achieve- ment of prestigious scholastic awards. Jim Schweitzer and Steve McSIoy, both seniors, were National Merit Scholarship semi-finalists. A highly competitive National Council of Teachers of English writing award went to Lau- ra Ghiorsi, senior. When their final year of high school is just a fading memory preserved only in a dusty year- book. the things remembered most won’t be the encounters with crazed teachers on hall duty or the disoriented homerooms. The posi- tive aspects, the pride of wearing green jackets bearing the name Farmingdale High School, will be what is remembered and valued. 162 Seniors William Baffo Ellen Balogh Rhonda Barush Michael Bazylewicz Kerrie Theresa Beaton Michael Becker Liz Behan Paul Bender Alfred Bereche James Beresford Michael Berkowitz Donna Bernhardt Janine Odette Bertuglia Thomas Biamonte Robert Birney Patricia Blom Tracie Jill Boccafola Scott Bogart Debbie Bokowski Anthony Bonagura Geraldine Bongo Norma Borrell Kate Borrosso Vanessa Bostick James Bovich BAFFO, WILLIAM 4 Pepper Circle East.

It seems that every place we look, we encounter someone's idea of a top ten songs, television programs, stocks, jeans, cars, and movies. The movie 10 has popu- larized the rating of people. There is even a top ten list here. People who have worked long and hard to achieve the top ten rating in class are Karen Weiler. Valedictorian; Felicia Tirico. Salutatorian; Rhonda Barush. David Tanen, Jennifer LaPorta. Angelina Mauro, Mary Genoy. Joe Zarodkiewicz. Ken Ryan, and Eric Sekler. It took working hard, listening attentively in class, studying and for some, giving up things that are important. Eric Sekler re- membered, I gave up sports last year in favor of my academic classes. It’s frus- trating to have to stay in and study when my friends are out having a good time, but I do it anyway. exclaimed Angelina Mauro. Mary Genoy. Captain of the Dalerettes, struggles to balance her studies and after school ac- tivities as well as a part time job. All the hard work and effort paid off in the end. I was very surprised when I found out I was Salutatorian. It was something I had hoped for. but never really expected.” re- marked Felicia Tirico. Valedictorian Karen Weiler worked toward her achievement. She explained. I tried my best each year, not knowing how I would compare with my classmates in the end. In contrast, ignoring competition, Joe Zarodkiewicz believed, My dedication was basically for myself. I wanted to prove that I could attain my own goals. Being the top in anything is exciting, but being in the top ten in your class is also prestigious. I think it has significant value when applying to colleges, declared Ken Ryan. I am proud to be recognized as a member of this group, admitted Rhonda Barush. A good start into the world of higher edu- cation is the way to a good job. Pilots, sur- geons. psychologists, and lawyers • their ca- reer interests vary as much as their person- alities. The students should be admired for their outstanding performances in school and in the outside world, stated Mr. Begeal, principal. 166 Seniors Elizabeth Boylan Alan Brienza Jr. Alicia Brienza Sherriann Brock Anita C.

The rifle is loaded; the targets are in place and Rhonda Barush takes her stance. This routine has become second nature to her since she has been target shooting for the past six years. She practices everyday in her basement, which has been extended 30 feet to allow her to shoot from a range of 50 feet. She also practices at the Roslyn Rifle and Revolv- er Range. Like her father. Rhonda has started to break records. Presently, she holds five na- tional records. My dad is a lot of help and was really the one who got me interested; he offers his training as well as encouragement. Rhonda started at age eleven, and in the six years she has been shooting, has won the title of Sharp Shooter of New York State Women's Junior Champion two years in a row. Last summer Rhonda participated in the Ohio In- ternational Championship, and her team placed fourth. During competition Rhonda must concen- trate so completely on her shooting that she blocks everything else out of her mind. Shooting is mentally hard, not physically hard. She uses a .22 rifle and is an indepen- dent representative from Farmingdale. One disappointment to me is that there is no rifle team in school. (Jnlike other sports where the players are constantly getting hurt, shoot- ing at a rifle range is very safe. When was the last time you heard someone being shot at a range?, Rhonda pointed out. Practicing everyday might be rewarding now. but there is not much to come later. Rhonda explained, There is not much future in shooting. You can't exactly depend upon it to make a living.” Rhonda is interested in studying engineering, but she has not com- pletely made up her mind. The rifle has been reloaded many times, but Rhonda finally takes her last shot for the day. She removes the targets and adds up her score. The rifle is put away, and practice is over for another day. It is not common to associate a .22 rifle with a female, yet Rhonda Barush has used hers to achieve statewide recognition. Seniors 171 DARR, JOSEPH 16 Maria Ct.. N.

Many students have to deal with this as- pect of life every day. If one child in a family is an overachiever, parents grow accustomed to high levels of accomplishments and expect as much or more from the other children. The pressure exerted on the second child is of- ten a heavy load. I have to strive and work hard in order to live up to the expectations of my parents because my older brother was valedictorian and my sister was ninth in her class, Ellen Simon, senior, complains. Sometimes the pressure comes from a dif- ferent source, teachers. Occasionally, our mentors compare siblings in an unfair manner and even point out the differences in the aca demic performance of the student and his brother or sister. My brother's active social and academic life are sometimes compared to mine and I find it discouraging if I see disap- pointment in their faces, expresses Peter Di- Domenico, junior. Some teachers even form prejudices against students if their sibling car- ried an undesirable reputation. The rivalry is not limited to academics. Sports, where there is plenty of natural com- petition, is especially hard on siblings. The pressure exerted by parents and coaches on the kid with two left feet can be very dis- heartening. But brothers and sisters can be a good influ- ence too. Laura Ghiorsi, senior, explains, Al- though the last child has a certain amount of pressure to contend with, I think it has been a benefit for me since I have had examples set for me by my brothers and sisters. Competition also has its good effects. Sometimes people need motivation and hav- ing something to shoot for can be a positive force. “After seeing the benefits it brought my older sister, I realized that I should get off my little junior high pedastel and get my act to- gether,” explained Paula Procida, sophomore. The relationship between siblings also helps in later life. It trains you in dealing with disagreements and it teaches you how to compromise. While emphasizing strong points, sibling relationships mend your weak points. The experiences you go through with a brother or sister help you to appreciate differences between people and to accept peo- ple for what they are. Sibling rivalry isn't restricted to the house. Patty and Helen Gibbons will quarrel anywhere, over anything. Seniors 173 DIMARTINO. VINCENT 22 Field Crest Lane. Fdale Baseball 10 DIONIAN. NANCY 35 Elm Drive. Fdale DIPRIMA. PAUL 19 William Street.

Dim Fan Freedom; Frustration The smirk. The look that says I made it! I’m a senior.” It's there on the face of every senior on the very first day of that fabled final year of high school. After surviving eleven years of school, every senior would like to believe that during his final year, all he has to do is cruise through a schedule of free per- iods. easy electives and early dismissal. Un- fortunately, things weren’t that simple. This year was important, as it was the beginning of a new era in the lives of the seniors. It was a time of decision; decisions that would effect their future in a big way. Getting all the applications in and scoring well on entrance exams are two major causes for anxiety in seniors, Geralyn Martucci ex- plained. Similarly, almost every senior, at one time or another, will have fears or apprehen- sions about what he is stepping into after the relative security of high school. Linda Guercio remarked, I’m afraid of going away to col- lege, leaving my friends and family, and being out on my own. The senior year certainly was difficult. It was a busy time with many pressures and many worries. In fact, after graduation was over, many seniors found themselves with nothing left to worry about, and so, nothing to do. But senior year wasn’t all work and pres- sure. Glenn White believed, My senior year held all the excitement I had anticipated as a sophomore and junior. No matter how the final year is viewed, always remember that although that crazy, hectic year is over, wor- ries will always be there. One merely has to take it in stride and enjoy life despite them. Several forms need to be filled out when applying to a college.

Mass. 178 Seniors, Gia Gri Catch A Rising Star (Jnder glittering lights and framed by a drawn curtain stands Terri Kelly with micro- phone in hand. The cozy ambiance is just the right atmosphere as the audience listens in- tently. During Christmas vacation, Terri got her once-in-a-lifetime chance when she made her singing debut at Catch a Rising Star, a nightclub in the city. My first night was a scary experience, explained Terri. She went on after a comedy routine. It’s difficult to follow a funny act; you have to get the audi- ence's attention. They're drinking and laugh- ing, and then you perform a serious song. Her apprehension was understandable. Al- though the audience consisted of ordinary people, there were supposedly talent scouts watching to spot prospective stars. Once you see the audience responding, it gives you a good feeling. They must have liked the song because they called me back to sing again. Terri has sung in two Rotary Club talent shows and has appeared in two Playcrafters productions. The King and I and Oklahoma. Her high school singing experience has taught Terri that there are people whom you don't personally know yet who support you. It is the moral support which gives Terri a positive attitude. I still have the confidence of my early days, and now I have the support. By no means is Terri’s career unpromising; representatives from the music field are al- ready interested in her. I'm scheduled to make another demo-tape. By the time I get out of high school, I want to have some jobs lined up. Her talent may be young but her determination will age it rapidly.

Gri Hic Auto shop not only allows Joe Halupa and Chris Pepe to repair cars, but it also gives them the opportunity to decorate vans. Gods Of The Road Metal gods roam the streets. Fierce, fi- ery beings burning trails behind them. Darkness dissolves before probing beams from their faces. Their awesome alarm shatters silence and commands quick at- tention. Terrified insignificant pedestrians scatter before the wheeled stallions. Ser- vants slavishly attend their gleaming gods with washings and ceremonies to appease their metallic masters. They are fed regu- larly and housed in their own places sepa- rate from the servants’ quarters. An insignificant mortal may obtain a per- mit upon turning sixteen and become a squire to his die-cast duty. When he comes of age. he must pass “The Rite of the Road Test'' before being fully accepted as a ser- vant of his god. Worshippers stand in line for miles at the temple of the gods. The Bureau of Motor Vehicles. I got there an hour early, to cut the monstrous line that most people had to wait on to get my license stamped, remarked Rich Reimer, senior. Turning sixteen is a big step for many who crave a learner's permit. The attain- ment of one's driver’s license is an event celebrated like the finding of the Holy Grail. Life begins when you get your license,” explained Joe Bruno, senior, because you don’t have to depend on your parents to take you everywhere. Those priveleged few who hold a license can escape the dreaded school lunch and drive to a nearby McDonald's or Burger King for a bite. Having a car enables me to get a decent lunch, commented Joe Zarodkiewicz, senior. Proud charioteers defy public transportation and chauffeur their friends to the movies. They also drive to work, to school and everywhere in be- tween. The first time I drove, I picked up my friend and we drove about eighty miles, just cruising, Jane Looney, senior, de- clared. Although the car represents power, free- dom and independence, some believe its greatest aspect is the convenience of being able to go almost anywhere by pressing the pedal to the metal. Some drivers are a little less fanatical in their affection for their autos. It's just a method of transportation. It's like a bike with four wheels, replied John Carman, senior. Worshipping the god of transportation carries with it many responsibilities also. The moody gods demand maintenance, golden, free-flowing food and the insurance ritual. Expressing a problem of many. Mr. Cates explained. My car uses too much gas.” Do the benefits of owning a car outweigh the responsibilities? Although drivers curse and kick their cars everytime the engine whines in complaint, or the wheel seems sluggish, deep down these car own- ers adore their chariots of glory, gods of freedom and convenience. They must. Since the invention of the car, not one worshipper has lost the faith.

Hig Jor Lost In A Maze Of Gates The gloomy stillness with the hum of voices in the background is broken by the clang of bars locking together. A tall bearded man stands on one side possessing the key to freedom. On the other side stands the de- fenseless inmate seeking a way of escape. This might be Attica State Prison, but in reali- ty, it is Farmingdale High School at 3:15 pm. I was stuck behind the gates quite a few times and the custodians never let me out, Ann Kenney, senior, complained. Many students find themselves in this pre- dicament especially when they must stay late for an activity. Soon it becomes late and the participants in the extra-curricular activities have started to go home. That time” is ap- proaching. Then you find yourself alone in the dark. It is getting colder since the heat, which very few students ever have the privilege to experience, has been turned off. One day I ot trapped in the school. It was so cold that I nearly froze, recalled Mike Petaitis, senior. Everywhere you turn, you are brought to an abrupt standstill due to the metal barriers. Those who have gone to their lockers at the last minute also find themselves in a bind. Dalerettes, Playcrafters, Hi-Life and others find themselves like mice in a maze, search- ing for a way out. After spending a full day in school, the last thing they you need is to have to search for a way out. There are times when the custodians make you walk around the whole school searching for an exit, a dismayed Danny Kamel, junior, complained. There are not many options except to find an unlocked exit or to crawl through an emer- gency window. If you are lucky one-in-a-hun- dred times, you find an understanding and altruistic custodian who will unlock a gate or door for you. Oh, the ecstasy! You finally have found your way to the outside world. Then you find that the last late bus has already departed. Now you must find a way to get back into the school to use the phone. Trapped! How will Beth Sharp and Patty Klein be able to find their way out of the school? John T. Jovine Dawn C.

The splendor of Prom Night is enough to convince Patri- cia Prisco to attend even on crutches. Four Legged Students Upon arriving at school in the morning, a strange procession can be seen hobbling across the Commons or leaping unsteadily from the buses and slowly progressing to the Health Office. Mo. there isn't an epidemic breaking out in the high school! What might be called The Crutches Club is holding a meeting! Are crutches the In thing? Everyone seems to have them; in fact, one size fits all. Along with these crutches, many of the “wounded wear white casts colorfully deco- rated by friends; others wear the basic Ace bandage. Crutches may be fun for some students, but athletes find crutches a great hindrance. I miss cheerleading immensely because I can't play with the squad because of my crutches, said Beth Angwin, freshman. How- ever, if you are not sports-minded, having crutches is usually an advantage. Being on crutches is the best excuse for being late for class, missing gym and receiving the great privilege of using the elevator. If you usually walk to school, special transportation is pro- vided right from your front door to the front door of the school. Crutches also seem to bring friends closer together. They hate to see a friend suffer alone so they must carry your books and assist you to class. When your friend is disa- bled. it’s a good excuse to be late, and it also gives you a few extra minutes to talk. re- vealed Melita Frouxides. junior. Probably the biggest enemy of the crutch- user is the architecture of the building. A convenient elevator is placed at the bottom of a set of inconvenient steps, radiating hallways stretch for hundreds of yards, and mini- stair- ways crop up around almost every corner. If the “Crutches Club can make it to meetings in this obstacle course, handling the world outside should be no more trouble than it was to break that bone or pull a muscle in the first place. 186 Seniors LANG.

It's a big one! Reel it in! This can often be heard on a boat on which Mark Arrow, senior, is working as a mate in Hampton Bays. He’s been living in the Hamp- tons during the summer since he was a young child. My dad likes to fish and so he got me started. I really enjoy it. Last summer Mark decided to combine work with fun and became a mate on fishing boats. He worked on both charter and private boats with duties entailing rigging baits, set- ting lines to specified depths and making sure everything in the cockpit, where all the fish- ing takes place, runs smoothly. The job is often very involved because everything must be done quickly and efficiently to keep lines in the water while fish are being caught. One of Mark’s favorite boats on which to work is the Val Belle, a 57 foot Moorsman, owned by Philip and Rosemarie Butti. We call it a floating hotel, stated Mrs. Butti. The Butti’s really gave Mark a start. They knew he was inexperienced but had the confidence in him to give him a chance to prove what he could do. While Mark crewed, thousands of pounds of Albacore, Yellow Fin, and Big Eye Tuna were caught. One of the biggest thrills was catching Marlin. They go after the bait like a bat out of hell. Sometimes they just play with it like a toy, but sometimes they take the bait and this results in a catch. Though crewing isn’t what Mark is plan- ning for his career, he does enjoy it and will always remember his summers as a mate. “To me it’s getting paid for a good tan be cause I enjoy it and it seems more like fun than work. 188 Seniors LOWE.

Low Mar 189 One of the more embarrassing situations is when you drop your books on the way to class. Maria Castiglia has the unfortunate experience of dropping her books on the stairway. Another World You are traveling through a dimension not of sight and sound, but of mind . . An average student sits transfixed before his tele- vision, its silver flicker casting the only light in the room. His family has long since gone to sleep; his daily worries dissolve as he finds some light entertainment in the television show. Little does he know, but when he wakes and goes to school tomorrow, he will have stumbled into his own Twilight Zone . . . Everyday in the dark recesses of the school several bizarre occurences take place which may somewhere be secretly narrated by Rod Serling. I was standing in the hall talking to some friends. explains Douglas Griggs, senior, When all of a sudden this big bomb goes off in the orchestra wing. I've never moved so fast in my entire life. It turned out to be just a huge firecracker, like an M-80 or something, but at the time, I was sure I was dead. Explosions seem to be fairly common oc- curence in the twilight zone of secondary edu- cation. I accidentally set a car on fire in auto shop. reported Karl Lohwasser. senior. The car wasn't damaged at all. but the carburetor was never cleaner. Eerie experiences in school are not con- fined to explosions at inopportune moments. Steve Mormino, senior, explained, It’s terri- ble when you start talking about someone that you hate and they’re standing right be hind you. Mary Dealy, senior, commented, I had met a girl for the first time. We were having a conversation about a guy. I said he was a waste of oxygen and she said she was going out with him. Patty Jackson, senior, has heard the famil- iar twilight tune on occasion too. I went to the bathroom and my pocketbook fell into the bowl,’’ she related. Another odd occurrence happened to Tom McCloskey, senior. I ran to my third period class thinking I was late and it was still second period.’’ he recalled. The happenings in the Commons would make Mr. Serling proud if he could see them. “One time I was running through the Com mons, explained Tom Rapp, senior, when I ran into another person running through the Commons, and books and people went flying! Cathy Owens, senior, also told a tale: “I was in the Commons wearing a bathing cap, goggles and a ski jacket as a joke and a Hi-Life photographer ran up and took my pic- ture. Other strange events that took place in the Commons included Sandy Wall, senior, and her friends playing Red light—Green light. Classrooms are also scenes of embarrass ing events. Donna Caliguri, senior, explained, I was sitting in class, fell asleep, and fell out of my chair! I think, being dragged into the boys’ bath- room by Tony Petrera was pretty embarrass- ing and unusual, added Terri Cloonan, sen- ior. Thomas Craddock, senior, recalled, My friends stole my shoes and threw them on the flagpole. An average student sits transfixed before his television, bathed in flickering silver light. All else is sleeping darkness as he hears the familiar voice from the glowing box say. Your next stop—The Twilight Zone! He next recognizes a school building, then a stu- dent. The TV screen has become a mirror, and he has become part of the Twilight Zone. 190 Seniors MARTCJCCI. GERALYN 22IA N. Linden Si.. N.

Let’s see • I have a math test tomorrow. Macbeth is due Wednesday and my health project is due Friday. Wait a minute, what’s this? An English paper due Monday? Oh, no! I completely forgot about it! Sound familiar? Of course! That character- ized your whole senior year. As a matter of fact, it characterized all of high school. But you made it through two-and-a-half years of reaction papers, essays, tests, quiz- zes. and reading assignments. You almost fin- ished the race. You hoped it was all over. After all, it was the third marking period and senioritis was reaching a peak. You were even counting the days until graduation. It was a warm sunny morning when you walked into your English class. Mr. Dave Set- teducati was handing out a ditto entitled, Senior English Paper—due May 15. You couldn’t read any further. What? . . . Another paper?? I don’t believe it! I just finished one! exclaimed Gary Frey, senior. Yes, it was another paper, and a vital one at that. It was the Senior English Paper, a man- datory research assignment for all seniors. Failure to write the paper meant one couldn't graduate. Why such a big fuss over a term paper? No one was really sure. Steve Guarino, senior, commented, It was the same type of research paper we did in our junior year. I don't see why there was so much emphasis on it this year. But there was. Mr. Mike LoMonico. a 12th grade English teacher, explained, It’s impor- tant because many students entering college don’t know how to write this type of paper. This way they get some experience in the format of a paper. Once again, the public library, as well as the school library, was filled with moans and sighs as seniors sat down in front of huge piles of books and magazines to start their papers. In five weeks, the information in those books and magazines had to be turned into a well-organized, well-written paper containing footnotes, a table of contents, a bibliography and six pages of body. After much determination and hard work (?) the paper was finished. Well, now I’m finished No more term papers! You are final- ly safe. Or are you . . . 194 Seniors Terri Ogden Patrick M.

Great care is shown while John Hasley expertly demon- strates how to set a broken limb as Tom Giminaro looks on. It All Pays Off In The End What do the Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts and Kiawanas have in common? They have high school seniors leading them. I have seventeen Brownies in my troop. It all started because I like working with chil- dren. I’ve worked with my mom’s Junior Troop, but I like the younger ones better. They’re so eager to learn,” explained Debbie Cannamela. Debbie’s job as Girl Scout lead- er involves numerous tasks such as re- searching and preparing troop meetings, bal- ancing the troop budget and filling out countless forms. The most important aspect is, however, working with the children. As Junior Assistant Scoutmasters for Boy Scout Troop 261, John Hasley and Tom Gi- minaro fill many positions. They are instruc- tors who train boys for leadership positions such as patrol leader, and also help them with skill awards leading towards advancement on the road to Eagle Scout. They are also the overseers making sure camping trips and troop meetings run smoothly. They take charge of certain troop activities. I do it be- cause I enjoy working with them, and it gives me a feeling of satisfaction when one of the boys accomplishes a goal, explains John Hasley. James Romanelli doesn’t work with youn- ger children or supervise Scout troops, but he, too, is a leader. He is the Key Club Lieuten- ant Governor of the Long Island North Divi- sion, which means that he acts as a liason between nine clubs in his division and the district level. He must hold four divisional meetings a year, which all nine clubs must attend, and they discuss what has been done. He helps clubs that may need guidance. He writes newsletters, makes sure club's dues are paid, and writes out various reports about the different clubs. He also runs our Key Club meetings if the President Tom Tomeo isn’t at the meeting. ‘l enjoy it. It’s not as diffucult as it is time consuming, but I find it very reward- ing,” reveals Jimmy. Being a leader involves chairing meetings, balancing budgets and teaching skills to be- ginners. But the feeling of satisfaction that is left with the leader outweighs the tedious preparations. 196 Seniors Thomas Penzes Chris Pepe Andrew Persampire Michael Petraitis Anthony Petrera Jomarie Petrungaro Tony V.

Students depend on their friends to cheer them up and to make what could be a tiresome, monotonous day an enjoyable one. They look forward to meeting their bud- dies each morning to gossip, discuss plans for the approaching weekend, or just to pass a few minutes that without a friend could seem like an eternity. ‘‘I come to school early to meet with my friends before first period,” Maria Castiglia, junior, remarked. Students always enjoy a class more if they have a friend present to share their miseries. During a boring lecture or assignment they frequently pass glances and smiles and occa- sionally whisper about what they would rath- er be doing. Many students feel uncomfort- able when they find themselves in a class without any friends. That particular class al- ways seems to be twice as long as the others. “If I have a class without friends in it, I tend to be quiet. When there are friends in the class, I participate more and the time goes by quicker, Sue Kestenbaum, junior, comment- ed. The time friends cherish the most is their free period. Students enjoy their free forty-five minutes together doing whatever they want and enjoying themselves. “After we go to the cafeteria to eat, we go to the Commons and have a good time,’’ remarked Debbie Ward, senior. Together they talk about the tests they suffered through earlier in the day and find out what is new with each other’s lives. Most friends retreat to their own person- al corner in the Commons where they just relax and the time flies by almost always too quickly. There are few things in life a student trea- sures more than friends. “True friends are the people who stick with you through the har- dest times,” shared Carol Kent, senior. Long after graduation they will look back on the years spent in high school and remember not the courses or the lunches, but the friend- ships and the sharing. Friendship finds time for expression during a free period for Peter Panariello and Christina Fugallo. 198 Seniors Elizabeth Puglisi Alan John Pulaski Eileen Quinn Michele Raia Lynn Randazzo Thomas C.

Snyder 202 Seniors, Sch Sny Thou Shall Bible study, whether at parents insistance or by the student's own decision, is important to some, like Car- mine Ratto. Although television and newspapers con- stantly report the seeming lack of moral guidelines today, it seems that more and more young people are becoming aware of moral and ethical principles. High school students are now using their religious backgrounds as a basis for the tough decision making they must face in adolescence. Religion sets morals and values about situ- ations that occur in life, said Anil Gulati, senior. A majority of seniors feel that a person should not be pushed into religion by parents and peers. Most conclusions about what they think about right and wrong about their reli- gions were made when they were younger. The way you have been brought up has a great deal with the extent of your religious views, said Linda Guercio, senior. Most sen- iors feel that depending on the way you were brought up, you become as religious as your family is. When a decision has to be made, a person will weigh the pros and cons. Pressure to make decisions is brought on by my parents, Larry Jimenez, senior, stated, But I do what I feel is right. Linda Guercio, senior, also said, Commonsense tells you what is right and moral. When decisions about the moral as- pects of life come up, religion becomes less important. Religion is there, said Gary Roth, senior, But it’s not the predominate factor.” When the religious aspects finally, if at all, come up. many seniors like Greg Wildes said, Religion makes the decisions about things that can’t be taken literally. Day by day, decisions on different subject matters arise. Some will go with the crowd, and the others will sit and think about them. I have to sit and contemplate all my beliefs before making a decision. said Nancy Shir- core. senior. There are those who sit a mo- ment, consider parental and social view- points, and then, there are those who will ask themselves if their religion agrees with their decision. One's own individual conclusions about religion are their own prerogative, and it is one's own religious viewpoints that make or break one’s own daily encounters with deci- sions. Seniors 203 SOETE.

Soe Tho Four Brothers For Friends Individuality is the ability to be a distinct human being; to have your own identity. But, if you were one of four male siblings ranging in age from 15 to 18, each inhabiting a differ- ent grade of the high school at the same time, do you think the aforesaid quality would be lost in the shuffle of hand-me-downs and used bats and mitts? The Schmitt brothers, Andrew, James, John and Tom, born 1964, 1965, 1966, 1967 respectively, think not. Andrew, the eldest and a senior explains, “All of us are friends and are treated as individuals by teachers and peers alike. But as is with all siblings, teach- ers learn to expect certain things from them. “I've taught three of the four Schmitts,” said Mr. Ken Schwinn, Humanities 10 teacher, in contradiction,” and if I have a fourth, I would expect him to be like his brothers in manner and behavior at least. Of course, I never out- and- out compare them. Comparison of the four is not such an easy thing. They all have different interests and participate in different activities. James and Tom both enjoy sports, but James is on the track team while Tom is a gymnast. Andrew, on the other hand, is a yearbook editor, and John is interested in basketball and is on a CYO traveling tournament team. Because they enjoy different things, there is no need for competition. We were always brought up to make our own goals and strive for them as individuals, relates Tom, freshman. Not only do they not compete with each other, there is a feeling of mutual support among them. Each one is proud when the other accom- plishes something the other hasn’t been able to do, relates the proud father, Mr. Andrew Schmitt. As far as this family is concerned, a large family group is the best way. Besides the four that are attending the high school, there is a younger brother, Peter. Having so many sib- lings guarantees constant companionship. Jim, junior, explains, There is always some- one to play ping-pong, watch T.V. with, or practice football passes. The closeness of their ages facilitates the growth of a close bond between them. It also makes home- work easier, adds John, sophomore. “Usual- ly, my older brothers have taken the same courses I’m taking, only a year or two be- fore. It is evident that individuality and unique- ness is fostered in the Schmitt household. The boys share, rather than compete with each other,” stated Mrs. Schmitt, And each is an individual. The four Schmitt Brothers. Tom. Andy. John, and Jim- my. meet for lunch on a rare occasion. Seniors 205 TIMMONS. VINCENT 55 Kent St.. Fdale TIRICO. FELICIA M. 181 N Hawthorne St..

As the bell sounds the end of the school day, the students rush from the class- rooms and crowd into the hallways. It’s al- most like any other ordinary day but ... it is FINALLY the last day of school! The last day of school was a day to cele- brate for most students, but for the seniors it meant saying goodbye to things to which they may never return. I feel glad that I am leav- ing school and starting college. Although I will keep in touch with my close friends, I'm very happy to be leaving chaos, stated Frank Stolba, senior. Many seniors were anxious to graduate and start a new life at college, but others expressed doubt. I know that sort of thing depresses me. But I guess that’s what graduation is ... a new beginning,” said Jan- ine Conlin, senior. Parting with life-long friends was a painful experience that accompanied the end of school. It was often a painful experience some seniors would have prefered not to face. ‘‘I plan to keep in touch with my friends. We went through a lot together and I don’t believe anything could ever tear us apart, stated Ethel Kleinhans, senior. The last few stragglers left the building and waded through the papers on the floor which were piled a foot deep. It was an ending of a day and of a school year for underclassmen. For seniors, however, it was the ending of an important part of their lives they will always remember. I felt ready and willing to gra- duate and make new friends but there was something that was holding me back, com- mented Matt Webb, senior, But I’m not ex- actly sure what it was.” Leaving school in the dead of winter does not give stu- dents the same relieved feeling as does that last walk out on the last day in June.

The disappointed look on Tom Zeng's face as the football team lost the ‘big game'' to Massape- qua or the pride that Greg Wildes felt as he broke the school’s scoring record in basketball are two of those unique experiences. Enthusiasm was building up as sports thrived this year. More and more students wanted to be included in the aura of the Dalers. The Girls' Soccer team was just five girls short of having a junior varsity team in addition to the existing varsity team. Throughout the winter, the gym was overcrowded with wrestlers, basketball players and a larger track team than ever. Even the number of intramural teams increased. As a result, Patti Rooney and her cheerleaders were forced to practice in the frigid halls. But these were the scenes that provided the enthusiasm, glory and pride that each stu- dent felt just knowing he was a Daler. To avoid poor technique. Linda Guercio maneuvers herself into a position that will give her maximum accuracy and perfor mance. To attain maximum top spin on her fore- hand. Christine Malinauskas uses a combi- nation of items: weight on her pivot foot, eyes directly on the ball and a smooth followthrough. Members of the Boys' Varsity Swim team know the importance of a good start. One of their main practice methods is crouch- ing. It Don't Come Easy Spectator sports are perhaps America’s favorite pastime. The stereotyped comicstrip character, Leroy Lockhorn as the “weekend watcher with the beer can in hand and eyes glued to Monday Night Football, is in reality, not uncommon. We don’t often real- ize, as mere spectators, the time involved to produce the sports events we so often see in stadi- ums, arenas, and of course, high school facilities. Often we are quick to carelessly and rashly criticize fumbles, errors and penal- ties. but how often do we consider training when a touchdown, ho- merun or goal is scored? Is it practice that develops a winning team or athlete? Some may argue that natural talent plays a great part, but no one will question the necessity to develop perfect skills, quickness and en- durance, which are necessary to a particular game. Practices come in all varieties, each having a spe- cific function in mind, the grueling five, six or seven mile cross-coun- try run certainly builds stamina. As trackman, Tom Giminaro, sen- ior, noted, If you can’t make it in practice, there’s no chance of win- ning in meets.” Spring track run- ners realize that stamina rather than skill is essential to a runner. Ken Arnold, senior, commented, “We do an exercise known as a ladder; each man does five or six sprints ranging from a half mile to a sixteenth of a mile. After com- pleting that half, we start over again running the smaller distance first and ending on the half mile. Everyone hates it, but we know we have to do it to win. Particular skills in a sport often call for improvement. Wrestlers know the importance of mastering each technique since failure to do so results in havoc. Soccer play- ers spend hours working on ball control skills as few will disagree that it is the one quality which is irreplaceable in their game. “We practice juggling, explained John Leddy, which is keeping the ball in the air using any part of your body except, of course, your hands. It is very important to the ballplayer because he develops a feeling for the ball, so that he has it under control at all times. Perhaps the greatest asset to any athlete is sheer physical strength. The blocking sled” of- fers a measurable resistance and builder of calf and thigh muscles for football palyers. The weight machine provides a place to for- mally develop arm and leg mus- cles. Football player Tony Pez- zano, senior, added, It is impor- tant to be as strong and in as good shape as possible in football. It’s the most physical contact sport, and the team that is out of shape is going to lose. What have the teams to show for their countless hours of sweat and devotion? They take pride in a soccer team that placed first in division play, a lacrosse team which was undefeated, a basket- ball team which was ranked sixth on Long Island and a football team which was ranked second in their conference. But was it all worth- while? The swimmers are con- stantly reminded when, on their last exhausting laps, they glance on the north wall of the pool where it reads, No Pain, No Gain . What of those teams who devoted so much to winning but did not finish anything more than competitive and who wonder if that last lap, that last sprint or mile, that last pump of the iron, that last sit up. or pull up, will mean anything? Of them, we re- member those immortal words of coach Robert Mulligan, that wi- sest of all lockeroom philos- ophers, Remember men, you can’t cheat your bods!

Practices 213 Stop That Man Lacrosse is described as the fastest game on two feet. Think about it! No other sport combines the speed and endurance of a track runner, the strength and quickness of a football player and the ability to use a stick like a hockey star. In comparison to other sports where these are multiple player positions, only four positions can be played by an individual: goalie, attack, midfield or defense. Defense is the place to play. I just happen to play defense and my main job is to prevent my man on the other team from scoring. After all, how can the other team win if we prevent them from scoring? The chal- lenge of one-on-one is a very emotional and exciting part of defense. Stripping your opponent of the ball with a good stick check or a crushing body check gets you and your teammates psyched up for the game. Lacrosse today is one of the fastest growing sports in America. The atmosphere surrounding the game is very enthusiastic. Lacrosse, for me, has not only been a great athletic experience, but also a chance to meet new and inter- esting people. -John DeTommaso 1981 Boys’ Varsity Lacrosse (18-2-1) F H S 10 5 MacArthur 15 5 Holy Family 7 0 Ross 12 3 Calhoun 10 5 Bethpage 8 7 St. John Baptist 6 5 Baldwin 11 3 Chaminade 9 2 East Meadow 12 8 Massa pequa 3 2 Berner 9 0 Hicksville 10 3 East Meadow 5 5 Massa pequa 10 6 Syosset 7 - 8 Berner 4 3 Hicksville 11 3 Syosset 11 3 Baldwin 13 9 Lynbrook 10 14 Sewanaka Front Row: Coach Hartranft.

Almost The The 1981 Varsity La- crosse team had high ex- pectations to become the number one high school la crosse team in New York State, a goal which in- spired the team to work to its fullest potential. Howev er. a late season loss by a score of 14-10 against Sewanhaka shattered the dream and expectations of both players and eager, de- voted fans. Perhaps one dilemma of the lacrosse sportsmen is that few people understand the aspects of the game. This is probably due to its lack of publicity on televi- sion which features base- ball, hockey, football, soc- cer and basketball regular- ly. Yet. despite the lack of understanding, hundreds of people can be seen lin- ing the fences of Howitt Ju- nior High School. Their knowledge of the game is limited but their loyalty to the team is genuine. Ste- ven Boyle, junior, com- mented. It's great to see so many people take an in- terest. It makes us really fight to win in front of the home fans. Lacrosse is a sport which blends many as- pects of soccer, hockey and football. It is also one of the most mentally and physically demanding sports. The key to the game is the ability to han- dle the lacrosse stick. To be successful, you must use both hands equally well. Coach Hartranft nev- er demands anything from us in the off season, but you could see most of us informally practicing our skills after school. Best CJnlike many teams who use cheers or music to psych themselves for an upcoming game, the Dalers prefer to peacefully discuss startegies and set plays. John De Tommaso. senior, explained. “By talk- ing before the game, we are able to form better rela- tionships with one another, understand how each play- er will react on the field and play better as a team. Perhaps an element which deters many from playing lacrosse is the fu- ture of the lacrosse player. It seems a waste of such talent that after graduation there is no chance for be- coming a professional. La- crosse players play with only one intention—to have a good time. This in its simplest terms, is the essence of all sports. Lacrosse 215 New Hope If you talked to anyone on the Girls' Varsity Soccer team, you'd get the feeling of a very proud team. The girls’ season record ended up 4-9-2. Captain Pat Klein, junior, said, Our record improved a lot over last year because we really worked hard. Coach Rich Armour said. The confer- ence teams were pretty tough. Considering the competition, I think we did very well.’’ The team members felt that they had a disadvan- tage, though. Most of the players were sophomores and juniors. They were a young team, but next year they feel that this will be to their advantage because they will have had the ex perience of working and growing together as a team. They did not make the play-offs, but in their sec- ond meeting with East Meadow, the Dalers took the Jets out of the county play-offs. Lynn Jones, ju- nior, brought the Dalers an early goal which kept them in the lead for much of the game, which eventually ended up in a 1 1 tie. At the start of the sea- son, some players worked to achieve self-glory, but as the season wound down, the players worked togeth- er to achieve recognition for the entire team and the team learned to work as one. The girls were proud of their accomplishments this year, but were confident that they could do better with the experience they had acquired. Pat Klein, ju- nior, said, Wait until next season.

Practices were taken seri- ously because we knew that we'd have a better chance at winning. This year we played more as a team. It was emphasized to us by our coach, Richie Armour, that no one person could win the game; it had to be accomplished by a team effort. Next year the team should have an even better season than the previous one because most of the players are coming back from last year. Therefore, we will have more experience playing together and will have a better season.

In the first game against Harborfields, we lost 1311. Everyone was psyched for this game, and the defeat hurt our teams spirit. With a lot of determination, we were able to bounce back and win the next game. Through the first half of the season, we won six and lost four, but this was not enough. We were certain of a spectacular second half. Our first worry was about the game with Berner. We had never beat them, but I knew we would win. I also knew it wouldn’t be easy. From the first inning something was going '‘right”. Berner had only one hit the entire game, and we won 4-0. Even though I knew we would win, I couldn’t believe a no-hitter, and neither could anyone else. That was the day our luck changed. Afterward, we won eight and lost only two; one to Calhoun, the other to Oyster Bay. With a record of 14-6, we were able to play in the Division Championships, and we won! Through all the great games, the best was when we won the Confer- ence I Championships. The whole team went wild!

Baldwin team 1110. The Best Year Yet The Girls’ Varsity Soft- ball team, fifteen players strong, had great expecta- tions for the season. Since most of the girls already played in the Farmingdale Softball League and travel games, they had the valu- able experience and disci- pline a good team needs. It was this know how that enabled the girls to win fourteen games while los- ing only six. The most memorable game of the year was against our rival Berner,” said senior, Rhonda Bar- ush, ‘‘We've never beat Berner and we wanted that to change. The high-spirit- ed Farmingdale girls did beat Berner first by a score of 4-3. In the second game against the Bisons, the Daler girls defeated them 4 - 0. behind a one hitter pitched by Patti Klein. We all hoped to beat Berner, No one expected a one hit- ter or even a shutout,” stated catcher, Rosie Zip- per. The team had strengths at every position with ten of the players being sen- iors. The infielders proved to be very quick and agile by getting out of many jams with double plays. By making shoestring catches and plays to the plate, the outfielders also often demonstrated their skills. Third baseman and outfielder. Debbie Fiordi- lino was awarded most valuable player. Although all of the girls were good, Debbie was very versatile and she had a lot of exper- ience. said Coach Karnes. Anyway, I’m proud of all my girls.” The goal of the Girls' Varsity Softball team at the beginning of the season was to win the County Playoffs. To end their 1981 season with glory, the girls’ softball team became divi- sion champs. Then, in an action-packed game at Cal- houn, the Daler girls cap- tured the Conference I Championships. “Even though the season was ex citing, the best part was winning the Conference Championships. We had been together for so long and we finally became number one, expressed Rhonda Barush. This was the attitude of the entire team. With such an outstand- ing background and repu- tation. the next Girls’ Varsi- ty Softball team will have a lot of hard work to do. Al- though only three players are returning to the team, their talents and determina- tion, along with the abili- ties of the many new girls that will join, make the teams' attitude a positive one. With practice and ef- fort the Girls’ Varsity Soft- ball team can once again be number one! 218 Girls' Softball Ready and waiting to tag out a Hicksville runner is catcher Rosie Zipper.

Here comes Mr. Cerrone and his J.V. soft- ball team trying to push the Girls’ Badminton Team out of the gym again. Come on, guys! Get out of the gym now. We need our practice; it's raining out- side, sarcastically de- manded Cerrone as he strutted into the gym. The Girls’ Badminton Team is constantly being pushed around, except for on the courts! Over the past seasons the team did quite well considering it was composed of mostly juniors and sophomores. This year seemed to hold a most promising season, stated Coach Armour, Most of the girls had the experience, skill and dedi- cation to take the team all the way.” The girls concentrated not only on their skills but also on both the physical and mental abilities. From squeezing tennis balls to strengthen wrist to running suicides to promote agil- ity, the team benefited overall. One player, Mary Anne Villardi, senior, ex- claimed, “I love running suicides! I could do it all day.” Although the girls worked hard, they found time for fun. One day while waiting for the bus after a grueling match with Hicks- ville, a '72 Pontiac cruised the parking lot, surveying the girls in their uniforms. The cruisers finally made their move • or should we say moon?! This became the topic of conversation all the way home. Speaking of the bus rides, these grew to be an effective psych method for the girls. Sue Gruber, senior, recalled, I remem- ber Rich used to sing we will, we will, rock them, rock them, on the way to a match. These bus rides proved to be a good way to get the girls to relax or just meditate prior to a match. Team captains Karen Asaro, and Christy Wil- liams. seniors, led the sing- ing on the victory rides home. All of the above com- bined to give the girls a great season. The team fin- ished with a 7-3 record. Most of the matches were won by teamwork and skills earned through prac- tice. “The practices really paid off and I was surprised how much the drills helped. explained Denise Hughes, junior. The most valuable play- er award was earned by Norma Rugen, junior, first singles player. She had un- beaten attendance at prac- tice which showed in her record of 7-3. A record of 9- 1 was attained by the Most Improved Player, Sue Gruber, senior. She later went on to win the Confer- ence title in third singles and placed third in the Nas- sau County finals. These girls, along with many oth- er veterans, will be back to arm the courts again next year. When push comes to shove, the Girls’ Badmin- ton Team will always be there to retain their rights on the courts. Helping the Dalers get their third shutout are LeeAnn Contarino and Karen Asaro in their match against the Chiefs. Effort is exhibited by Cathy Owens as she toils with her Bell more opponent. The Dalers won the match 7-0. 220 Girls’ Badminton At The Championship Playing at the Conference Championships was one of the greatest thrills of my life. The whole team went, whether they were to play or not. I remember my final match quite vividly. No one else was playing from our team at the time. It was against the only girl I had lost to all season, a member of the Mepham team. I was hoping I’d get to play her again because I wanted another shot at her. Our whole team was on the bleachers and so was hers. I won the first and last; I lost the second in a close match. It was the third and final game, well, for one of us anyway. The coach had just given me a pep talk. I was determined to win! The game seemed to last forever. She served. I won the serve; she won it back. Finally I broke the ice; I served four consecutive points and needed two more. The next time I served, she let it go and the lines people gave it a bad call. It was in! I got really upset. I lost two more points. I got the serve and with the rooting of my teammates scored another point. The final point I was serving I could feel the pressure—my heart seemed to be pounding out of my body—I was so tired. The point lasted about two minutes. She hit a drop; I dropped back. She cleared; I dropped and moved in. She cleared. With a burst of speed, out of nowhere, I reached it and dropped. Would it go over? It looked awful close. Yes, it went over. She tried a close court drop and it hit the net. I jumped in the air, reached over, shook her hand and ran over to my teammates. They all congratulated me, and later Rich told me it was the best match I played all season! It was a moment I’ll never forget. • Sue Gruber Girls’ Varsity Badminton (7 3) f h s 6 1 ? o 7 o 6 1 5 2 7 0 2 5 3 4 0 7 7 0 Lawrence Bellmore Kennedy Hicksville Calhoun Berner Baldwin (Jniondaie Oceanside Mepham Massapequa Front Row: D.

Some wear them for protec- tion. security, or just plain luck. 222 Superstitions Believe it or Not Is a proper frame of mind neces- sary in sports? My swimming team functions on psychocycy- heretics. This is really condition- ing your mind so that you feel. ‘We think we will win, therefore we will’,” noted Varsity swim coach Bill Annis. The ritual for swimmers includes parading around the opponent s pool area in sweats, and pouring some ‘home water’ into the pool. Their undefeated season gave them the third best rating on Long Island and number one in Nassau Coun- ty- The football team too, is not without its idiosyncrasies. Each member on the team has his own method of taping his hands, to prevent injury. The style does not change unless they are handed a defeat! In addition, many players wear lucky tee shirts, which they wear to every game until they lose. These quirks are highlighted by a breakfast at the Spartan Din- er before each game to discuss strategies. ‘‘I always wear my brother’s Po- lice Academy baseball hat before each meet, commented Phil Czarnec, wrestler, It brought him good luck and I believe it also brings me luck. Phil also wears silver sparkling shoe-laces, per- haps as a symbol of energy and power. Phil has soared to become one of the top wrestlers in the county. Often, religious medals are worn by sportsman for security. Al Schellhorn noted, I feel like my crucifix protects me from in- jury when I play soccer. I also be lieve it makes me play to my ful- lest potential. If I do this I am satis- fied with myself, even when we lose. Perhaps this did prove valu- able as the varsity soccer team captured first place and in league play, allowed the fewest goals. Our resident ping-pong champi- on, Tom McCloskey, senior, has some idiosyncrasies which have made him a fine competitor. The racket never stays still in his hand between serves, I have a habit of tapping the ball from my paddle to my hand just before I serve. It helps relieve tension and builds concentration. commented Tom. He can be seen exploding rapidly for points with a combination of untouchable spins and lightning fast forehands and backhands. Superstitions, are they non- sense? They are not to all who compete in sports, and they cer- tainly are very necessary for champions in their field. After all, who can argue with success? Superstitions 223 Outer Limits To a lot of people, Cross-Country running is painful, but I enjoy the outcome of this demanding sport. When I run Cross-Country, I am alienated, and I enter a world of my own. The loneliness I go through is some- thing with which I have learned to cope. My mind has disciplined itself to the strain of running without any- one or anything to amuse me. A Runner’s High is something I experience after I have run my body to the limits. After running for so long, my body craves the highness that accompanies the pain. The feeling can be compared to the drug addict who needs a fix to feel good. The high does funny things to a person. I know the pain I will have to endure to reach this peaceful feeling, but still I push my whole body to its limits to achieve this goal. After running a race, my mind is dazed. My eyes just wander aimlessly, trying to con- centrate on one object. My heart pounds so hard I can hear it beating in my head. For some reason, all this I go through still makes me want more. • Daniel Burghardt Cross Country (8 5) FHS 38 21 Syosset 18 41 Bellmore Kennedy 17 38 Berner 35 21 Baldwin 48 15 (Jniondale 32 23 Lawrence 22 37 Oceanside 20 35 Calhoun 15 50 Sewanhaka 46 15 Mepham 25 33 Massa pequa 26 29 Hicksville 26 29 E Meadow Front Row: T.

As you soon found out, it was a member of the Farmingdale Cross-Coun- try Team. On certain days, when bad weather made it necessary to share the gym with the basketball team, the Cross-Country runners did part of their daily five miles in the halls, up and down flights of stairs, through the com- mons, and back to the gym. No matter how strange this may seem as a method of practice, it did help the Daler’s running. For the first time in five years the Farmingdale team, led by seniors, Danny Burghardt, Ken Arnold, and Tom Mills, had a winning sea- son. Through a lot of tough practices and meets the team ended their season with an 8 • 5 record. The toughest meet of the year proved to be at Sunken Meadows. The team had a five win and five loss re- cord that they would break. With a great team effort, the Daler runners won the meet by a score of 25 - 33 giving them an over five hundred season’. In the last two meets. Cap- tain Ken Arnold pulled the Cross-Country Team to two straight wins, one against Hicksville; the oth- er versus East Meadow. Team member Tom Mills, commented. ‘‘Ken helped us a lot at the last two meets and was an inspira- tion to all. He was deter- mined to win and he gave the team great spirit.” The entire Cross-Coun- try team gave it their all throughout the year as Jim Schmitt, junior, said, ‘‘Cross-Country running is a tough sport and I did my best the same as everyone else did. We accomplished much more as a team this year than in recent years.” “I’m proud of this year's team,” said Coach Al Parks, Their determina- tion led them to a success- ful year. Not all of the credit for this year's suc- cess was given to the play- ers, Dan Burghardt said, Mr. Parks was a good coach. He must have known what he was doing because we really im- proved over last year. With a combination of hard work from Coach Parks and team spirit from the players, the Cross- Country team left an im- pressive record behind them. Ken Zeng, sopho- more said it best, This years scores got the Cross- Country team noticed. If future teams improve like we did, soon the team will be great. As the fans and coaches gazed at As part of a 20-35 win against them, the female members of the Calhoun. Pat Adams leads the Cross-Country team take off from pack towards the finish line, the starting line. Cross Country 225 Going For The Gold. Many people would not take notice of a sports team that won only two out of seven games. Fans would think since there were only two seniors on the team, it wouldn't be worth watching. Farming- dale did have a team that won 2 and lost 5 with most players having never com- peted before. It was the Boys’ Gymnastics Team. The players on the team wanted more attention and recognition, and although they didn’t win every game, they did succeed in accomplishing their own goals. After the season the team placed a strong sec- ond in their division, and that is when their individ- uality and talent began to excel. At the Division Championships Tom To- meo, senior, won a bronze medal on the still rings, the most strenuous of gymnas- tics events. Captain Dan Baccelliere, senior, won a medal of each kind: a bronze on the still rings, a silver on the vault, and a gold on the horizontal bar. He said, My favorite event is the horizontal bars, and I worked extra hard to win at the Championships. Tom Schmitt, freshman, felt. Even though we worked hard during the season, the team would have done better, especial- ly at home, if we would have received more of a following. Although this was Tommy's first year on the team, his accomplish- ments should help give gymnastics more recogni- tion in future years. Tom- my won two bronze med- als, one for the vault and one for the horizontal bars, at the Divison Champion- ship meet. He placed sec- ond on the pommel, win- ning a silver medal, and he also won three gold med- als. The First two were for parallel bars and pommel horse. The third gold med- al was awarded to him for top all-around score in the division. To be a successful team, members must practice, and the Boys' Gymnastic Team practiced two to three hours a day for five or six days a week. Coach Jim Hraba said. “The team is young and basically inex- perienced. They need much practice to improve, and with hard work, they should be top in the divi- sion in a few years.” Dan Baccelliere felt, Consider- ing six out of the nine play- ers had never competed before, I think we did well even though many people were surprised. A major part of gymnas- tics besides the physical preparation is the mental part. Tom Schmitt said, If you are not prepared men- tally, you cannot compete properly. Before the meets I’ll go through my routines mentally, and that often helps me more than going out and working on a piece and possibly getting tired for the meet. To Coach Hraba, The most impor- tant part of gymnastics is the self-discipline required. A routine must be kept simple with good execu- tion and form. A gymnast has to be equally prepared both mentally and phys- ically because once he starts a routine, he is out on his own, and there is no stopping until it's over, and by then it’s too late.” The Division Champion- ships proved only to be the first step in the success story of the 1982 Farming dale Gymnastic Team. One week later, after a week of extra training and prepara- tion, the Dalers went to the Nassau County Champion- ship meet. Tom Tomeo, senior, finished third on the floor exercises. He said, Gymnastics is an individ- ual and different sport with many options. A team member doesn’t have to work on every piece, and most players try to excel in the part they feel most comfortable with and have the smoothest routines for. The team’s Most Valuable Player, Tommy Schmmitt, finished third on the parallel bars and as an all-around. He took sec- ond on the pommel horse and first on the floor exer- cises, making him Nassau County Champion in his first year of competitive play. While the boys’ season was ending, the girls’ sea- son was just beginning. Al- though they began the sea- son with hard work and practice their record was only 3-5. Coach Hraba attributes this to a lack of depth. Both gymnastics teams had outstanding players, but an all-around team is needed to score high and win. The girls were basically young with no seniors on the team. They did have valuable newcomers like Nanci Licursi, an eighth grader. Therese Alfano, who last year was Most Valuable Player for the (Jniondale Team, played an important role in the Dalers beating them 96.7- 55.5 this year. Co-captains, Kelly Molloy, junior, and Cara Josanne, junior, were the leaders and helped the team and its five freshmen the most. Out of the four events the girls compete in, vault, uneven parallel bars, bal- ance beam, and floor exer- cises, Cara Josanne placed first in all of them in 5 out of the 6 meets she compet ed in. In the Nassau Coun- ty Championships Cara placed first on the uneven bars, the most strenuous event for girls, and the floor exercises. For the girls, floor exercise is the toughest to perfect be- cause it is performed to music and dancing ability is needed as well as the ability to keep in time to the music, stated Coach Hraba. Cara also placed second as an all-around, missing first by 3 10ths of a point. After qualifying for all four events in the New York State Finals held in Carmel, Cara was ranked in the top ten out of fifty girls competing. She said, I was really determined this year and practiced both in and out of school. The experience that the team gained this year will be a great help next year since almost all of the play- ers will be returning.” Kathy Funk, said, This year we all tried but we lacked knowhow. With technique improvements and routine changes next year could be a very good season for the girls' gym- nastics team. Next year will be a great time to follow the gymnas- tics teams. With players capable of New York State Competition and the im- provement of new players, the position of gymnastics should change. If there is additional following, the teams could go on to win the divisions and the play- ers could go to the Olym- pics and win (maybe win) . . . the gold. mm i Practicing his routine on the side horse. the hardest in gymnastics to perfect. Tom- my Schmitt takes the silver at the Division Championships 226 Boys' Girls’ Gymnastics L.A. In '84! Until recently gymnastics has been in the shadow of more popular sports. But thanks to the persistence of gymnasts, it has finally gained the recognition it de- serves. Gymnastics takes a great deal of sophistication and finesse. It is with grace that a person stands on a balance beam only a few inches wide or performs on the unevens seven feet above the ground. As in the case of other sports, gymnastics instills a feeling of accomplishment and self-worth. Unlike other years, the 1982 team consisted largely of freshmen. Al- though some of these girls were inexperienced, they displayed much confidence and capability. Equally important is the dedication these girls possessed and the aire of unity among them. It is this dedication and unity that makes not just a team, but a successful one. like the Farmingdale Gymnastics Team. —Cara Josanne Boys’ Varsity Gymnastics (2-5) 101.1 106.6 Plainedge 79.3 129.7 Port Washington 105.8 115.8 Massapequa 99.4 118.3 Oyster Bay 93.3 56.0 Calhoun 899.6 72.8 Freeport 93.9 102.6 Baldwin Front Row: B.

It is the longest and most difficult to train for because practices are held indoors around the gym. Doing this for over an hour every day can be very diffi- cult mentally and physically. Indoor races are unique when compared to the ones held around an outside track. They are run in the Farmingdale College or the Armory in Manhattan. The first race is the two mile. When the race starts, I usually try to take my mind off the race and into a type of hypnotic state, I become out of touch with everything except thinking about keeping my pace and breathing in sequence ... As I start to near the end of the race, my throat starts to burn and my stomach gets cramped. My legs feel like they weigh over 100 pounds, and all I can think of is pushing to the finish line. After the race you search for anything to lean on. Your body aches from the blister forming on your foot to the pounding in your head. You can hardly talk, and when someone comes over to congratulate you, all you can do is smile. When I have recuperated from this race (which takes about thirty minutes) I start to think about the next one, the mile. —Kenneth Arnold Front Row: R Hert. D. Reichel. G. Mauro. K. Zeng. B. Kass, S.

The Winter Track Team does this commonly but with two exceptions. They can either run outside around the track through the cold and snow or they can run indoors around the gym. The Daler runners wisely chose the latter. Each day for over an hour the Winter Track Team runs through the halls avoiding teachers and scaring students. Howie Granat, sophomore, feels, Practices aren't too hard when you're used to them. At the beginning its tough to keep going when you're just running around and around the gym. Ken Arnold, senior, said. The hardest part of Winter Track is the running in- doors. It's a lot easier to run in the spring because you can warm up quicker when practicing and be ready for upcoming meets. Meets are held in the Farmingdale Agricultural College or the Armory on 168th Street in Manhattan. Here, all the teams in the division compete at once. The Dalers won their divi- sion and came in fifth in the Conference meets when both divisions com- peted at once. The Winter Track Team was led by senior Danny Burghardt who, in the high jump, cleared 6’6 and was given Most Valuable Player for his overall performance. The team had a good atti- tude, said Dan Scaran- gella, senior, We all worked hard during prac- tices and meets. Through- out the season the boys were strong in high jump, and hurdles but they did have one weakness. The teams major weakness is depth, said Ken Zeng, sophomore. Which is a lack of backup runners if the regular player is out.” Coach Brem feels, “Al- though participation was high, many boys still were not experienced.” With the loss of valuable seniors, all we tried to do was improve ourselves and fill the holes. stated Dan- ny ‘The White Swan Burghardt, Every year good seniors leave; now the Winter Track team lacks those back up play- ers so it will be hard to get to the top in future years.” The other side of Winter Track is the girls' team. They were third in their di- vision. Although the girls didn't quite achieve the placement that the boys did, they maintained a high spirit and a good attitude. Rhonda Barush, senior, felt, This was my first year on the team and I real- ly had to work hard at practicing to try to catch up to the more exper- ienced runners. The girls hope with continued work that they will soon be at the top of their league. At the Coaches Invita- tional Track Meet. Danny Burghardt placed 3rd in the high jump, clearing 6’ 314 . In the novice events, which are composed of players that haven’t pre- viously won medals. Larry Jimenez, senior, was third in the shotput and Phil Varca, senior, was first in the hurdles. The Winter Track Team members have great ex- pectations for their future and the future of the team. If their own personal goals were someday achieved. Tom Mills would run a two minute half mile, Dan Scarangella would break fifty seconds in the 440 yard dash, and Danny Burghardt would jump sev- en feet and be in the 1984 Olympics, No one knows what the future will unfold but a winning team needs to have goals and to work for them at all times possi- ble. The Winter Track Team knows this and they work continuously to reach their dreams and someday be number one.

Do you find it hard to relax? Are you tense and nervous? Are you being smothered by the paper blob ? Does school give you INDI- GESTION? Do you need it bad? How do you spell R ELI EF ? Many students spell it SPORT- S . You don't have to be on a school team because there is a leisure sport for everyone. Since there is such a huge variety of sports, a person is sure to find one he or she likes. There are sports which require a lot of activ- ity, such as racquetball and table tennis. However, there are more leisurely leisure sports , such as golf and chess, which require a great deal of concentration. Bowling is a year-round sport enjoyed by many. There are plen- ty of bowling alleys around, and this sport isn’t too expensive. It's possible to bowl three games and rent shoes for under $5.00. My grandfather got me interested in bowling. From there my interest really grew, and I have enjoyed the sport ever since, stated Wayne Snyder, senior. Bowling provides a relaxed atmosphere when a cou- ple of friends get together for a few games. Wintertime usually brings snow and snow usually brings activity. Sledding, tobogganing and ice- skating are some of the more pop- ular winter sports. One of the most popular among students is skiing. The Ski Club takes many trips, including a three day trip to Lake Placid this past year. De- spite crashing into a van on my first attempt ever, I continued on with the sport. It is an individual sport that you can take part in without competing against some- one else, according to Pat Reilly, freshman. The racquet sports are fast becoming the most popular of all sports. Handball is an old standby played by many. Racquetball has probably grown the most in the past year, with clubs popping up everywhere. Table tennis is a game in which it is easy to find competition at the high school. There are many excellent players here, according to Anil Gulati, senior. Squash, badminton and platform tennis are included in this category also. Riding a bicycle can be fun, too. Bikepaths are abundant in this area and trips can be planned to many interesting places. Perhaps the essence of sports is summed up by Judy Mitchell, junior. It's very enjoyable in the summer to take a ride on the bike path. All you need is a nice day, a bike, and a friend to share it with. The placid basketball court will soon be teeming with both amateur and advanced sportsmen playing informal games during the warmer months. Have you had your eyes checked lately? Had a few too many?

Leisure Sports 231 Concentration And Competition When I first heard about the Farmingdale Golf Team and decided to join, I didn't know what I was going to be in for. Once I had played the first game I found it to be a very enjoyable sport. It involved challenging games and competition without requiring the strength and physical output of other sports such as football, basketball, and tennis. Yes, I admit that winning didn’t come easy and that it was hard work but I enjoyed meeting new people and the competition. With a lot of help and advice from our coach, Mr. Dugan, along with our good sportsmanship, hard prac- tice, our experienced players, our other players doing their best, and a great deal of concentration our team ended up with a ten and two record. We considered this to be very good since we were basically unexper- ienced in the sport. I had hoped for a season with about six wins and six losses but it turned out much better than we anticipated. Our team spirit was always good and we were always ready for a game. •Pat Muscolo Boys’ Varsity Golf (10-2) FHS 2 7 Syosset 5.5 3.5 East Meadow 9 0 Massa pequa 7 2 Berner 7.5 1.5 Bellmore Kennedy 6.5 2.5 Hicksville 7 2 Berner 3 6 Syosset 7.5 1.5 Bellmore Kennedy 8.5 .5 Massa pequa 7 2 Hicksville 9 0 East Meadow Front Row; T D'Angelo.

That game is golf and surprising- ly there is a Daler golf team. Players on the 1981 golf team worked hard in both practices and games. In the first game of the sea- son. the team lost heart- breakingly to Syosset, sev- en to two. But with deter- mination and good sports- manship they bounced back to win six straight games and lose only one other, again to Syosset, this time six to three. Veteran returnees. Peter Flynn and Mike Garry con- tributed much to the team's strong points of hard work and good spirit which led them to a ten win and two loss season overall. Although the other team members did their best, many still lacked ex perience and discipline. Their high team spirit did give them a second place in Division 1. “Golf is a dif- ficult game to play unless you are experienced,” said Pat Muscolo, You must also have a good attitude for practicing and a bright outlook after bogies.” Drew Keller felt. “Between all the sandtraps. lakes and Bogies trees, it’s a good feeling to see the ball land on the green.” From the start of the season the golf team only expected an ‘over five hun- dred season'. They greatly surpassed this as no one expected them to. Coach Dugan, said. Since there were only a few exper- ienced players that re- turned to the Golf team I wasn't sure exactly what to expect. A good player must have skill, a strong mental attitude, and the will to devote hours of time to practice. I didn't think this years team would be able to do it . . . but they did! Many hours of practicing long shots and short putts help Jim Carrig to shoot par Practices at the driving range inspired Peter Flynn and Tony D'Angelo to lead the team to two shutouts.

After all the long, tiring hours of practice; after good days and bad days; and it-wasn’t-my-fault days, the Girls’ Varsity Vol- leyball Team ended the season with a nine win and eleven loss record. Coach Angelo DiFrancisco said, Although the girls didn't improve on last year’s re- cord, they did gain valu- able experience and need- ed discipline. The three seniors, Rhonda Barush, Linda Guercio, and Norma Bor rell showed great leader ship and proved to be inspi- rations to all. One of these seniors. Rhonda Barush, who was also voted Most Valuable Player for her overall performance, said, Considering we were such a young team, we didn't ex pect much. Everyone was pleased with our perfor- mance. Practices were held near- ly every day after school for a few hours. Lisa Novel, junior, felt, Practices are hard at the beginning be- cause you have to repeat the same moves over and over again. They did help in the games because you knew what you were hav- ing problems with and you concentrated more on that particular play. The girls had a shaky start, losing four out of their first five games. Through extra practices and hard work, they came back to win five out of their next six and a total of nine games. We hoped to break five hundred and we came close, stated Diane Ferrante, junior, Every- one was glad when we beat Plainview in the last game of the season. It gave us encouragement for next year. Trisha Owens, soph- omore, said, Everyone really wanted to win. The team had a good attitude which helped a lot during games. With the combination of talent from this year’s team and upcoming talent from the junior varsity team, the future of the Var- sity Volleyball team looks bright. Summing up the season best was Paula Pro- cida, sophomore, when she said, We played with de- termination to win. Even though we lost, we always did our best. This year we gained a lot of valuable ex- perience, and next year we hope to be among the divi- sion champs. 234 Girls Basketball Volleyball Being guarded by 2 Jet defense men. Pat Klein (42). passes to an open Julie Purcell (20). who goes in for two. Breaking Even For many years if a per son mentioned basketball, thoughts would immediate- ly turn towards boys’ teams. No one realized there is a Girls’ Basketball Team. For two to three hours a day, team mem- bers work to improve on individual skills and funda- mentals, game situations, team strategy and condi- tioning. Nancy Cassaro, freshman, felt, “The har- dest part of practices are the suicides. After layups, foul shots, and jump shots we have to run suicides over and over again.” Sui- cides are tiring, stated Ei- leen Purack, freshman, But they do help to in- crease speed and stam- ina.” Although only breaking even on the season with a record of nine wins and nine losses, the girls did im- prove over last year. They made the first round of the playoffs and had a second place finish in the Mai- verne Holiday Tourna- ment. Diane Ferrante, ju- nior, said, Our teamwork helped us the most. We took a lot of shots and passed if someone was in a better position to score.” The team had strengths at all positions. Kathy Keck, junior and co-cap- tain, played a great center. In one game with Hicks- ville, she scored 27 points and had 17 assists. Patti Klein, junior and co-cap- tain, in a game where the Dalers beat East Meadow 50-28, scored 17 points and had 11 assists. Seniors Linda Guercio and Mary Genoy proved to be stabi- lizers and influenced the three freshmen, Nancy Cassaro, Beth Sharp, and Meg Lathuras,” recalled Coach Pete Cerrone. Kathy Keck said, The team real- ly wanted to win so they gave it their all. We gained valuable experience, and with the addition of new players, we were able to have a well-balanced team.” With all the quality play- ers, one would wonder why the girls didn’t tear up the league. Coach Cerrone at- tributed this to a lack of height and experience. Al- though the girls were skilled in their own posi- tions, they weren’t able to be consistent in team play. With extra practice the girls hoped to blend togeth- er well in the future to make the Girls' Basketball Team a household name.

Their acceptance or re- jection of our style of clothing, choice of friends, and indeed our very outlook on life, is undeniable. In a sporting sense, the family, too. holds much influence. Sons often feel obligated or simply by their own choice, choose a sport most related to their father s inter- ests. Brothers and sisters are ex posed to competitive sports as youngsters and often follow their older sibling's footsteps. The unique sport of rifle shoot- ing is rather uncommon among high school sports. However, Rhonda Barush, senior, has truly emerged as a champion in the field, capturing national titles and wide-spread collegiate recognition. “I became very interested in shooting when I would accompa- ny my father to the rifle range. commented the talented senior. As I grew older and increasingly interested in competitive shoot ing, our roles reversed and my fa- ther became my coach. His years of experience, patience, and tal- ent. have given me the chance to excel . Basketball sensation, Greg Wildes, senior, feels he owes a great deal to his parents for expos ing him and his younger brother Mike, sophomore, to basketball. My father played basketball at St. John's University. However, his influence on my basketball ca- reer goes even further. He entered me in PBC (Police Boys Club), has been my coach, and has sent me to many basketball camps, ex- Blood plains Greg. He has always helped me be the best I can, con- tinued the holder of more points in his career at Farmingdale High School than any other player in the school's history, and I feel that I owe him very much. The family continues its trend of bas- ketball excellence with Mike earn- ing a varsity letter in his sopho- more year. Fine athletic tradition within a family exists not only in basket- ball but also in swimming. Varsity swimming coach Bill Annis, once a fine collegiate swimmer, has re- cently seen his son, Bill, a 1981 graduate of Farmingdale High School, and his daughter Leslie, senior, pass through the athletic program and compete on varsity swimming levels. Coach Annis noted, Swimming is probably one of the toughest sports. There is very little time to relax. His knowledge, conveyed to his son and daughter, and of course the team, has earned the swimmers statewide recognition for many years, including the honor of being the only undefeated team in Nas- sau County. The odds of our high school pro- ducing two superstars from the same family, such as hockey im- mortals Phil and Tony Esposito or baseball greats George and Ken Brett, are minimal. But it is en- couraging when we realize that our sports program will continue its competitive nature with the ad dition of upcoming talent from the Junior High Schools. We have, in a broad sense, a common tie. that indeed unites us like a family a winning tradition. 236 Family Tradition Despite the intense attitude of Maureen A proper follow-through determines solid Buckley, her efforts were in vain as the contact with the ball, as Mike Buckley de girls soccer team lost to a tough Berner livers a blistering line drive.

Island Trees opponent. Young And Strong With a tradition of excellence and domination in the sport, the wrestlers proved a formitable force on the mats. They met with stiff, veteran, competitors and showed their versatility with con- sistent victories in all weight classes. With a majority of the wrestlers being underclassmen and a new coach to guide them through their formitive years, the Dalers expect a bright future for many years to come. A change in coaching tech- nique by varsity coach John Pa payam. who succeeded former coach Irving Apgar. required ad justment by many of the veteran, senior, wrestlers. Jim Maybury. senior, commented. Coach Ap gar stressed much work on wres- tling moves, we would work hours on specific moves. Howev er. Coach Papayani placed great er emphasis on physical condi- tioning through exercise. We were in better shape than nearly all of the teams we competed against. Phil Czarnec. Mike Carbonaro, and many of the others went on discipline training with weights to attain greater strength and endur ance while wrestling at their de- sired weight class. Experience seemed to be the lacking ingredient, if indeed there were any. in the Daler attack. Vet eran starters included seniors Phil Czarnec. Jim Maybury. Paul Bender, and juniors Mike Travis and Andres Gomez. The exper ience clearly rested with the hea vier weight categories however, the young and for the most part, lighter wrestlers earned the re spect from other teams and their own teammates. We were very strong in all weight classes. noted Phil Czarnec. however the heavier weight classes had the ad vantage of varsity experience. This is not to say that the lighter weight classes did not perform well. They were such a surprise to all of us. they worked hard, were proud, and won in what many be- lieve to be the league's tougher weight classes. The list of non- senior starters including Chris McSloy, Ted Henn. Steve Connol ly. and Mike Carbonaro and oth ers provided excitement and vic- tory for its spectators while gain ing a most important quality—ex- perience. Perhaps the most difficult match for the Dalers was a phsi cal. experienced Island Trees team. The match proceeded with a seesaw type score with pins oc- curing in many of the weights. The nail biting climax rested on one match with the Dalers com- ing up on the short end. losing the meet by a close score of 3024. However, the match did not go in vain. The virtually unknown light weights proved themselves a force to reckon with and the vet eran heavyweights showed that years of experience and diligent work can produce a highly com petitive team The future for the wrestlers promises to be one of excllence. Paul Bender explained. Except for three seniors who will be graduating in June, the team is composed entirely of underclass- men They got a lot of time on the mats and have matured and gained valuable skills.” Spectator interest in wrestling this year has greatly increased compared to previous years. The wrestlers have responded to the public interest with competitive- ness. a proud tradition to uphold, an energetic enthusiam, and above all. a desire to win. 238 Wrestling Upper-body strength is essential to a wrestler's success. Steve Connolly matches his power with that of his opposition, each hop ing for the 2 point takedown The opening few seconds of a match can often dictate who will dominate the mats. Ted Henn carefully studies his opponent to avoid a sudden aggressive move and penetrate his defense against the takedown. No Letdowns, Just Takedowns I have been wrestling for ten years, and throughout those years I have had many intersting experiences, both on and off the mat. Unfortunately, not all of them were pleasant. In my ninth grade year. Mr. James Geller, the head wrestling coach, died of cancer. He was a good friend of mine and one of the few people I listened to while wrestling on the mats. I have also suffered numerous injuries including a broken nose and painful strained ligaments. This year was an especially tough one for both the team and myself. Having only three seniors on the team presented a lack of experience. Two problems that we had to overcome were a very tough competi- tion and adjusting to a new coach (John Papayani replacing Irv Apgar). A .500 record was our goal for the season. We lost many close matches and ended the year with a 6-6 record fourth in the conference. Of all the sports I have played, none have been more demanding than wrestling. When you're on the mats, there is no one to help you • your total concentration and energies must be on the match. •Phil Czarnec Boys’ Varsity Wrestling (6-7) FHS 43 - 15 45 18 39 15 27 19 35 21 43 25 26 29 27 31 19 33 24 30 16 36 21 36 21 35 Pla inedge Roosevelt Syosset Valley Stream South Hicksville Wheatley Herricks Bellmore Kennedy Massapequa Island Trees East Meadow Wantagh Berner Front Row: G Olsen.

Despite the many misconceptions people have of cute little guys running around all in white, tennis is an extremely demanding sport.

Aces And Faults This year, many stu- dents made an interesting discovery. It is called the Girl’s Varsity Tennis team. The 1980 team had ended its season with a no win- eleven loss record, which is the probable cause of their anonymity. This year’s team improved its record to a surprising 4-5. Many of the team mem- bers felt that they did not do better because of a lack of experience. It most certainly was not a lack of coaching. Coach Reidy was a great help to the team. “Coach Reidy would speak to you individ- ually about what you were doing wrong. Each player had certain weaknesses and he worked on them specifically, commented senior Mary Anne Villardi. The team showed good spirit, Even though it didn’t result in many victo- ries, the attitude of the team was a positive one, said Chris Malinauskas. sophomore. At the begin- ning of the season most of the girls just wanted to play for fun due to last sea- son’s record. But after the first game, the team’s fighting spirit swelled. Rosemary LoBianco found herself saying, I couldn’t just play for the sake of playing, I had to win! Several hallways down, in the boys’ locker room, the Boys Varsity Tennis Team ended their season with a 3-7 mark. The team experienced many disap- pointing losses, often in matches they expected to win. Senior, John Hasley, commented. We expect- ed to be above .500. but we lost to teams we should have beaten.” The team’s usual prac- tice ran from 2:00 to 5:00 p.m., and these practices included more than just tennis. They began with running, went on to rigor- ous exercises, and then specific drills. You must work on specific aspects of the game in order to im- prove, stated first singles player John Carman, sen- ior. Coach Bitel was a big help to the players, noted first singles player Anil Gu- lati, senior. He was a great influence on the team! He told you the mistakes you made and how to correct them. John Carman fin- ished with an 8-2 record. He was named All-Confer- ence because of his out- standing year. Most of the young play- ers have gained exper- ience. and they now have a good attitude, determina- tion and hope. As Michelle Petraitis put it, When we say we re going to win, we will!

As the 1981 season be- gan. the thoughts of Farmingdale Senior High School were focused on football. With the major- ity of players returning from the 1980 season, the feeling was that Farming- dale could bring the Rutgers’ Cup back to the high school. During the summer of 1981 near the beginning of August, a passerby could witness the third best football team in the state working with the Universal Weight Ma- chine in the gym or run- ning around the track. Though most of the foot- ball players did give up their time, they felt it was well worth it. One of the necessary ingredients to produce a good team is long hours of practice. In the middle of Sep- tember. right before the season was about to com- mence. Newsday printed a prediction that Farm- ingdale would finish sec- ond behind Massapequa. Many felt the article would have a negative ef- fect on the team, but this proved to be wrong. John DeTommaso, senior, commented. The article appearing in Newsday didn’t bother us because it took some of the pres- sure off. It gave us more incentive to play better.” The scene was set. In the tradition of Farming- dale High School, the Dalers devastated Bell- more-Kennedy by the score of 48-8. Though they tied a strong Berner team 0-0 the following week, this did not affect the team’s standings be- cause Massapequa lost later in the season to Oceanside. The next three games helped to boost spirits for the rapidly approaching game with Massapequa. The first of these games against Oceanside was highlighted by the pass- ing attack which set up the 48 yard touchdown by Don Lang. Senior. De- Tommaso recorded over 100 yards and three touchdowns in the game against Hicksville. In the third game against East Meadow, Phil Czarnec, Senior, was the star with a 60-yard run. He ended up with over 500 yards for the season. The fifth game of the season was against Syos- set. and it proved to be trivial because all minds were on the November 7th game against Massa pequa at the newly named Farmingdale foot- ball field, “Rainbow Stadi- um.” continued p. 244 242 Football Quarterback Mike Ihmjs gifted with being tall.

There was also a huge homecom- ing dance that night. On Saturday. November 7th. 1981, at 1:30 p.m., the big game had finally be- gun. With winds gusting at 25 miles per hour and tem- peratures feeling close to 12 degrees below freezing, the fans of the Dalers snug- gled in and packed the Farmingdale stands. In the locker room the pre-game psyche drills were beginning. One could hear banging lockers and the theme from Rocky being loudly cheered. The entire outcome of the season hinged on the Massapequa game. The First half was scoreless with both teams exchang- ing the ball on fumbles and punts. Massapequa came close to scoring with a 48 yard field goal attempt that just sailed to the right of the goal post. The season came down to the 24 min- utes left in the second half. In the middle of the third quarter, fullback Dan De- Lucie. senior, lunged in Massapequa's first touch- down. which made the score 7-0, with Farming- dale still unable to score. Jim Romanelli, senior, commented, They were talking us out of our game plan.” The roof then caved in when DeLucie again reached the end zone late in the fourth quarter to make the final score 14-0. Though the Dalers lost, they provided their fans with plenty of excitement. Another positive factor concerning the team was that there was no pointing a finger to the reasons for their loss. Tom Zeng stat- ed, We won as a team and we lost as a team. It was totally a team effort throughout the season. Steve Mormino put it best concerning the only gripe the players did have. He said, It was a good sea- son; too bad it had to end so soon because we won’t be able to play as a team again. 244 Football Running back Rick VanWfckler rips into tRe Bellmor©4 ennedy defense for a five yard gain in a Farmmgdale 488 vic tory over the Cougars Rick shared this duty with John DeTommaso.

This year's team finished with an 8-0 record with six of the eight wins being shutouts. The only teams to enjoy the satisfaction of scoring were Massapequa and East Meadow. Our team had great spirit and determination: that is why we won every game we had no matter how tough the opponent was! said sophomore Phil Bellia. The squad had an excellent offense as well as defense. They scored a minimum of 20 points every game. Coaches Corio and Cerrone can be proud of the team. The team scored 240 points on the season while yielding only 30. As sophomore Rob Schellhorn put it, Even though practices were hard, they were well worth it at the end of the season.

They entered every match thinking it was the most important one they’d ever swim. Sandy Wall, senior, summed up the feeling of the team when she said, There was no turning back! How does the Boys’ Swim team prepare for meets? They play inspiring records and swim laps. They rely more on practice than on gimmicks to psych themselves up. The team members all had one goal, to win. Last season they went undefeat ed and were rated number nine in New York state, three in Long Island and number one in Nassau County. Captain Eric Dodson said, We want to remain undefeated and win the Re- lay Carnival and Nassau County Championships.” They wanted to stay on top and felt they were capable of it, as did coach Bill An- nis. He felt that, “You must swim all day, think about it in the evening, and dream about it at night.” The general feeljng on the team was that Mr. An- nis is a good coach. Sometimes his ways are a little tough, but all in all he is a good coach, said Bob Derasmo, senior. The team has a good at- titude and high spirit. Just before a meet they get to- tally psyched to win. We want to win and everyone is up for it,” stated Eric Dodson, senior.

In the past 8 years, the team has not lost a dual meet as its record soared to 47-0-1. Coach Walter Brem com- mented on the team's ca- pability to parallel such standards. We have an ex- cellent nucleus of players and create a strong show- ing in both track and field events. Certain individuals definitely excelled but the team, as a whole, was well balanced. They also over- came what I saw as the only possible weakness- depth.” Indeed they did overcome this deficiency as their league record of 6- 0 indicated. Despite losing 3 quality veteran graduate runners and their outstanding white letter winner of '80. the boys track team contin- ued its dominant trend. The boys soared to a divi- sion championship for the 8th straight year and fin- ished 4th place in confer- ence competitions. While the team enjoyed great success, certain indivi- duals rose above the crowd. Danny Burghardt won first place honors in the county high jump championship, and also did well in the state champion- ship. Danny commented, It was a thrill just to be able to compete.” Track practices and competition can genuinely be considered grueling. Coach Walter Brem works his runners hard, but gets the desired results. Ken Ar- nold noted, He's a good coach and a good discipli- narian but most of a!l, he gets along well with the people and they like him. Bob Monaghan comment- ed on the long practices, If you have to ask about them, you’ll never know.” Arlington High School in upstate New York holds an annual prestigious state- wide competition. The team looked forward to the chance to compete with many top N.Y.S. High Schools. The competition was excellent and Farming- dale made a fair showing. Rob Weithofer explained. “We had a great time, met many good people, and ran against a very tough oppo- sition. 248 Spring Track Phil Czarnec exerts great phys ical ability on the discus throw His determination was awarded by a 125 ft. throw which clinched first place for him. By gaining proper speed and pre- cisely timing his jump, Kirk Lindo gains maximum distance and helps us destroy Berner 130-20. In track, getting off to a good start is often the key to success. Each runner anxiously waits for the starting gun so that he may gain a favorable position to set the pace during the Massapequa- Berner dual meet. Inside The Circle When you’re in a discus circle, you’re on your own. Everything you've practiced for. every step you’ve worked on, every weight you have lifted, all come down to three throws. One wrong step, one wrong move of any kind, and all those workouts don’t mean a damn. When you mess up, all you can do is talk about what you did wrong. All this pressure is on you when you walk into that circle, but when you throw a discus correctly and win a first place medal, well, there’s a great feeling of accomplishment that’s hard to explain. And because discus throwing is so individualistic, only you can feel great. •Bob Monaghan 1981 Spring Track F.H.S.

It’s fun; I enjoy it all, the practices and the games—well, maybe not all. Another reason I play is the competition involved. As in anything in life, people like to win, and it is with this desire to win that comes the competition. I par- ticularly enjoy games where the competition and de- sire to win is so great that there is a type of electricity in the air. such as a game against a rival team. A final reason why I play is the chance to meet a variety of people. I enjoy meeting and becoming ac- quainted with opposing players and coaches. Al- though no one is a friend during a game, after the final buzzer. I enjoy speaking with players on the other team about various things. - Greg Wildes Varsity Basketball (171) F H S 84 73 Freeport 58 57 Holy Family 55 50 Harborfields 67 48 Glen Cove 59 61 Malverne 58 51 Bellmore Kennedy 79 49 Berner 48 46 Hicksville 62 53 Massa pegua 66 65 Lawrence 65 57 East Meadow 66 45 Syosset 67 59 Bellmore Kennedy 55 39 Berner 77 62 Hicksville 73 53 Massapequa 78 62 East Meadow 91 56 Syosset Front Row: J Lopez.

Year Of New Records One of the most out- standing features concern- ing this year’s team was the dominant play of Greg Wildes. Greg, in his last year, has set numerous re- cords in Daler basketball. He also received one of the greatest honors a high school player can receive, being selected as a presea- son All American. The basketball team was a much more experienced team this year than last. In the 1980-1981 season, they were fortunate only to lose point guard Mike Perettine. To fill his shoes, Mitch Singer, senior, worked very hard during the summer months and became one of the finest point guards on Long Island. Playing under Coach Carl Savalli demanded hard work and dedication. Practices usually ran from three o’clock to five-thirty. The players, though, did not seem to mind commit- ting themselves to this type of arduous work. Commented Greg Wildes, “Practices are hard and need dedication, but it is enjoyable; it is not a job.’’ The practices obviously paid off for Greg as he shat- tered school records, one after another. He broke the record for most points in a game (50 vs. Berner) and most points on the home court (46 vs. Lawrence). In a phenomenal accomplish- ment, Greg broke Jim Gra- ziano’s record of 1,541 ca- reer points. He did this in a game with Massapequa. Mitch Singer added, “Hard work is the key to winning. Coach Savalli's practices consisted of intense condi- tioning and hard work on the Universal Weight Ma- chine.” If one came in about an hour before the varsity game was about to begin, one was able to witness one of the most exciting ju- nior varsity teams on the Island. The team was coached by Ben Berardi. The Junior Varsity team was lead by the fine out- side shooting of Danny Harris, freshman; the fine inside play of Ed McMa hon, and the play- making of Allan Sekler. Both the junior varsity and varsity basketball teams worked hard in or- der to uphold the tradition of Farmingdale basketball.

Always be confident of victory.” The 1981 team gained 4 more victories than the 1980 team, so his advice was obviously heeded 252 Coaches After a first down in the game against Hicksville. Coaches Brem and Mulligan show their appreciation. They were even happier after the game: a 36-0 Farmingdale victory. Athletic director Snyder was anxious to begin the second half of the league cham pionship football game after a scoreless first half. Our Dalers lost to the Chiefs by a score of 140 Friend or Foe? What makes a good coach? What qualities does a person need to be popular with the athletes? Many of the athletes and coaches on campus feel that there should be an abundance of mutual admi- ration and respect between play- ers and their coaches. Mr. Walter Brem. track and football coach, explained. Whether they win or lose, my feelings toward my play- ers are not going to change. Everyone is striving to achieve the elusive goal of victory. Be- sides the coach being there to in- struct the players, he should also be a supportive figure and offer comfort. Frank Soldano, junior, commented, Sometimes the coach will fool around and have fun with us to ease some of the pressure until the game begins. Mike Wildes, sophomore, stat- ed, The coaches work you hard, but in the long run, it is beneficial to all the members of the team. After all is over, you have a feeling of accomplishment. Everyone wants to be on top, and to get there, the coach and players have to perform as one. The coach has to get into the game and push the players as far as they can go. This only works if everyone is willing to give his all. Mitch Singer, senior, felt, Dedication is very important for both players and coaches. If the coach is willing to give his all. he expects his players to do the same. Mr. Peter Cerrone, football coach, likes players who work hard and have the proper attitude toward the game. Spirit and atti- tude have had a lot to do with being a good coach. The sport should not be like another school subject. Both players and coaches are there by choice. Jim Schmitt, junior, realized, Hard work is vital to any team, but no matter how much a team wants to win, having fun and enjoying the sport are more important. The victories of the team should be the reward of all the hard work put into the games and practices. Coach Cer rone feels his players, “Should try hard and victory should be very important to them. At the end of the season the coach should be there to help cele- brate the victory or to console the team in the case of a loss. He is also there to instruct and teach his particular sport. All this com- bined. as well as being a friend to his players, is what makes a good coach. Coaches 253 The winding up for a pitch could mean a homerun or a strike three.

Determined To Win The Varsity Baseball team couldn't coast along only on talent. They had to scratch out victories with opportunistic plays and hard work. However, the lack of experience didn’t help the team. Many of the players did not have varsity experience,” stated Greg Wildes, senior. The team still ground out twelve victories during the year. They finished only two games below the .500 mark. The team was led by the overpowering pitching of Greg Wildes and fellow sen- ior Vinny Mazzaro. Catch- er Don Lang, senior, got the most out of his pitches. “Knowing the opponents' batters inside and out is a must for the man behind the plate. I must notice his weaknesses and strengths, his serving and how he grips the bat.” Coach Jim Faivre was a big influence on the team. He worked hard to improve the team by being a real student of the game. After a loss, we would work on specific mistakes at practice next day. Coach Faivre made sure we didn't make the same mistakes again!” said shortstop Mike Buckley, alumni. The team attitude re- mained spirited throughout the season. “We tried our best every game, said Karl Soete, senior. The team used this spirit to car- ry them all the way to the playoffs. They finished with a league record of 11- 7. Their luck ran out in the second round of the play- offs by a score of 6-4. Ju- nior Varsity coach Pete Cerrone stated, The team, which consisted of ten ju- niors, improved tremen- dously over the year.” They finished with four straight wins and earned a playoff berth for the first time in four years. 254 Baseball A triumphant run around the bases by Karl Soete. after hitting a homerun, led the Dalers to a 9-2 victory over Massapequa Playing The Field Baseball is a very different sport to me. I played football and still play basketball for my church team, but playing baseball has something else. I think, baseball is one of the toughest sports in which to be exceptionally good. You need a great deal of coordination and timing. It’s a big challenge to improve yourself as the season goes on. People who say it’s boring must not understand the game or have never played baseball before. There are many fine points in the game that can be appreciated. I play centerfield and first base. Playing first base is very exciting because you're a part of almost every infield play. Baseball is a good relief after a long winter. It's a big part of every spring for me. It makes the second half of the school year go much faster.

Respect! Perhaps one dilemma facing the soccer players was the lack of individual ball control skills, a vital talent to any ballplayer. Yet. this problem was over- come as coach, Jim Dugan explained, “There was a lot of cooperation from this team; they worked hard on drills in practice.” Partial credit for their success must be given to the formation of a new de- velopmental” league which includes, along with Farmingdale, Levittown Memorial. Levittown Divi- sion, Bellmore Kennedy and Sewanhaka High Schools. However, the Dalers effectively demon- strated their improvement by impressive defeats of such Conference teams as East Meadow and Plain- edge. Robert Birney, sen- ior, noted, We improved quite a bit. We have all been playing soccer togeth- er since tenth grade, both in school and out. We know each other s abilities and play well as a team.” There were few soccer superstars”, but rather each man fulfilled his niche on the team as best as his talents permitted. In this sense, no single person played as an individual and each played for the team. According to senior, Greg Meunier, “The defense played well as a unit. By working together they usu- ally kept the ball near their opponent's goal area.” Lack of “ superstars” . . . no ball control”—How can a team like this suc- ceed? Coach Dugan ex- v plained. “We had a solid defense, good speed in the strikers, and more impor- tantly, the team shared the ball. If one game truly dis- played the spirit of the ball- players, it was the final game of the season at Sewanhaka. Many specta tors were present and ea- ger for the Sewanhaka team to avenge an earlier 4-1 loss at the hands of the Dalers. The opening min- utes of the game saw Farmingdale struggling to hold on as Sewanhaka scored an early goal. Poor field conditions, sloppy passing, being beaten to the ball, and an extremely fired-up opposition plagued the Dalers as they deject- edly walked to the sideline at halftime, victims of a two goal deficit. Coach Dugan’s speech at halftime greatly stirred the mood of the team. I told them that this would be a test to see if they real- ly were winners or losers. I knew we were better. But we had to assert ourselves and be aggressive. I told them the choice to win or lose was theirs.” The opening of the sec- ond half saw a spirited Farmingdale Team. Within the first few minutes, the Dalers hushed the noise of the crowd by scoring. Half- way through the remaining half, the Dalers had scored again and appeared as if they were dominating play on both the ground and in the air. With about 10 minutes left to play, Farmingdale earned a valuable corner kick. John Kobi, senior, de- livered a looping ball over the middle to teammate. Tom Freshour, senior, whose head ball proved to be the winning goal. “It felt great having the winning goal. I was excited I was able to contribute to our winning season,” re- marked Freshour. This match, indeed, ex- emplified the spirit and de termination of the 1981 Daler team, coming from behind but always fighting hard to win. The team has again captured the atten- tion of devoted sports spectators and has earned the respect of the school, an 8-0 division record, and a winning reputation for Farmingdale, a goal which it worked so hard to gain. 256 Boy’s Soccer The action in front of the Sewan- haka goal is intense with much physical contact as Brian Purack (12) battles both defenseman and goalies for a head ball. Doing some ‘fancy footwork' is Tom Duswalt, (29) as he plots his next shot on goal and protects himself from the Sewanhaka op position With speed and grace. John Kobi. (15). escorts the ball down the field to score the winning goal in the game with East Meadow. (2 1). Ready On D Soccer is undoubtedly one of the most exhilarating of sports. It combines many aspects—skill, speed, quickness, stamina, and physical strength. It is a great feeling, while playing defense, to know that your head ball or steal will make the difference between winning or losing. I believe soccer players to be some of the best athletes. They must be able to sprint for long intervals, endure physical contact, and read the play of the game. The greatest feeling is when you make solid contact with the ball. You can tell, even before you see the ball go, if you have made a good shot. Someone who plays soccer would know how difficult the sport really is. The tendency to use your hands is always there. However, the eye to foot’ contact is even harder. It can take years of practice to control the ball with your legs, to be gentle enough to dribble the ball, and strong and precise enough to hit a power- ful shot exactly where and when you want to. —Al Schellhorn Boys’ Varsity Soccer (13-2) FHS 4 0 Jericho 2 1 East Meadow 6 0 Bellmore Kennedy 9 1 Memorial 1 4 Plamedge 4 1 Sewanhaka 6 0 Division 3 0 Pla inedge 6 0 Maria Regina 5 0 East Meadow 2 0 Bellmore Kennedy 2 4 Chaminade 10 0 Division 3 0 Memorial 3 2 Sewanhaka Front Row: B.

College scouts as a recruiting technique, are viewing the films as they decide whether they want Czarnec to be run- ning out of their backfield next year. Recruiting by colleges is a struggle to outdo com- petitors by getting the best talent available. Recruiting often starts as early as the students first year in high school. Dorothy Lohnau, senior, and captain of the girls swim team, said, I first talked to a recruiting officer in my sophomore year. A college often looks for athletes with experience on playing specific posi- tions when scouting high school talent. For example, a college baseball team may need a left-handed power hitter. To build up their program, they would look for this specific player and not the best player available. Sports can also be a blessing when attempting to gain acceptance to a uni- versity. A student may re- ceive preferred admission because of his or her athle- tic ability. Member of the girls’ swim team, Terri Cloonan, senior, stated, “It was a major factor which contributed to my accep- tance, speaking about her experience on the team. Often colleges use their alumni to learn more about players. If the college is not in the vicinity and a former college player lives nearby, he or she may speak to the player and attend some games. Films are often sent to colleges to be viewed by the coaches. The coach will try to see a player in person. If this is not feasible, viewing game films is the alternative. Uni- versities also check special awards won: MVP, all- county, etc. These, of course, indicate the top players in their respective sports. After being named All-State, colleges really noticed me, said gridiron standout John DeTom- maso, senior. Dinner at Borelli’s res- taurant was the treatment senior Rhonda Barush re- ceived for her skill in marksmanship. She was attending a match in which the St. John’s rifle team was competing. Rhonda said, I began speaking with the coach and he asked me to demonstrate my shooting. He must have been impressed with her ability as she received an invitation to learn more about the school and its ri- fle team. The coach of- fered Rhonda a full four year scholarship if she would join the NCAA’s 6th ranked rifle team. Each year, more effort is put into recruiting in girls’ sports and some of the minor sports. You don’t have to play football or basketball to have sports aid you in getting to college. The majority of colleges are honest in their at- tempts to recruit but one must always be wary. The man who runs our great sports program is Athletic Director Don Snyder. The players always know he’s there to help them out and answer any questions. I keep informed of the play- ers and what they're doing as far as continuing their education and sports, he commented. There’s got to be a spe- cial thrill in knowing a film of yours is being sent to a university ... or a college coach comes to see you play ... or you receive a letter from a university that says they’re interest- ed! Who knows . . . maybe . . . someday . . . after col- lege graduation . . . maybe . . . Well, let's make it through college first. Recruiting 259 Payday arrives and your check is finally in your hand Even though half of it is already spent, you still rush to the Mall or to town to spend the rest in Macy’s. Her man s.

But along with the mon- ey. there are many other aspects of the business world in which the student is actively involvecf It’s only once that you have to conquer fear as you go for an interview for that first job. or feel the anxiety as you realize that the more President Reagan cuts the federal budget, the less money there is to meet college costs, just as you are starting your first year. How about the anger you feel as inflation causes the price of a weekend's entertainment at the Farmingdale Movies or Whiskey Reds to steadily increase? There’s no way to escape the business world. Whether you’re buying an ice cream cone at Von Lee- sen’s. renting a tux at Sal’s Fashions or working behind the counter at McDonald’s, you’ll encounter it. one way or another. 260 Business HAVE A BITE PIZZA AND SANDWICH SHOP 38 Motor Avenue Farmingdale, N.Y. 11735 752-9137 Food Service Equipment I Supplies (616) 293 7155 ANDREW SICA DENNIS DEVITO The Decision WANTED: Tech Hi Fi is look ing for salespeople. Experience is not necessary. We are look- ing for career oriented, hard- working individuals. Interested, self-motivated, friendly people should apply . . . I looked at the ad warily. Should I apply? True, I needed the money, but would I have the time to devote to a part time job? Would it affect my grades? Would my social life suffer? Carefully, I weighed the possibilities. There were certainly enough good reasons to apply. Among them is the obvious reason— getting some money to be able to spend on anything I needed or to put away for college. And The long search for meaningful em- ployment may become tedious, but in the end. Larry Abuhoff is sure his ef- forts will be rewarded. the more work experience a person has, the easier it is to get a job in later life. But then I thought about all the cons of the subject. Jobs take up a lot of a per son’s time. At the present time I spend so much time doing homework, I barely have time for any sort of social life. With the added time commitment of a job, I wondered if I’d ever have time for the things I like to do. Finally, after giving it consid- erable thought, the materialis- tic part of me won out. I figured I could give up some of my time in order to gain the funds I desperately needed. I had done it. I, like many other high school students before me, made the decision to enter the job market.

Who would want the dirtiest and probably the dullest type of job around—pumping gas. Well, although it's not the most glamorous occupation around, It pays for what I need, stat- ed Peter McGuirk, senior. Pe- ter, like so many other young guys, earns his pay by filling 'er up, checking the oil, and clean- ing the windshield. Peter has been working at the Exxon Gas Station on Rt. 110 and Conklin St. for about a year and a half. Because he lives nearby, it's a very conve- nient place to work. My broth- er had this job before me. It runs in the family, he said. For Peter his job is merely a way to make money. Profes- sionally, I'd like to go into car- pentry. But for now working here is a good way to earn enough to pay my expenses with a little to spare. Of course, if I was on my own, I could never live off what I'm earning now. Unfortunately, in the pursuit of monetary gains, one must often give up things such as free time. My work sched- ule is often tight. I have to rush straight home from school to get to work. And many times I have to give up things I like to do because I have to work. But for the most part the money is important enough to make the sacrifice. For many people where to work is the most important thing. But for some, like Peter, the where is not as important as the working. His philosophy is, As long as I’m earning the money I need, it doesn’t matter where I work. Any job is a good experience.

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.

Around The Clock If you dig through the rubble- —candy wrappers, layouts, empty soda cans, old copy sheets, some- one’s unfinished homework. Alison Schecter’s half-eaten lunch—you would find that you were standing in the Hi-Life Office. Inhabited by seventeen editors, three advisers and numerous assistants, the ap- pearance of the office could and of- ten did offend some. But it served the necessary purpose of giving the staff a place to lay out their 316 pages. The editors and assistants worked together many a late night in the office and room 151, or across-the-hall, as it came to be known by few. “The result of our labor is recognized by many but not appreciated by them, at least it won’t be for a few years, ” incredu- lously said Felicia Tirico, Student Life editor. With a radio blaring at 120 deci- bels, Barbara Gillon, Faculty editor, felt, The radio helped in my cre- ativity.’’ Creativity was one of the many topics the editors were lec- tured on when they attended a year- book workshop at Amherst, Massa- chusetts. The eight experienced and nine inexperienced editors, along with an advisor, all shared in the benefits received at the work- shop. Stephanie Kaufmann. Seniors editor, observed. Amherst was im- portant because we developed our theme there.’’ Andy Schmitt, Orga- nizations editor, reflected, Our friendships had a chance to grow at Amherst.” Missing mom's homecooked meals, eating pizza, and freezing be- cause the school heat was turned off hours before were some of the drawbacks suffered by the staff. A few editors such as Sue Gruber had more important things to worry about. One could often hear her ex- claim. I told Carmine to take those pictures! Then there were times when the pictures were taken but were lost. I took them; I know I saw them in the negative book,” cried the dismayed photography editor, Carmine Ratto, junior, who never received enough credit for the quality work he did produce. Each editor understood what the others were going through. So, al- though tempers and a few heavier objects flew, patience and helpful- ness towards each other was an un- spoken motto. Hi Life 311 To some this book is nothing more than pho- tographs and names. But to us it represents a year of hard work and dedication. There are many people whom we'd like to thank, be- cause without them, there would not be a Hi-Life ’82. The administration, secretaries and custodial staff were always there to lend a helping hand when we needed authorizing signatures, class statistics and lists, and much needed repairs to our office. Our professional photographers. Dave Green- berg and Bob Biello, came to the rescue when we needed pic- tures overnight never compro- mising on the quality of the prints. Mark Stern, our Jos- ten’s representative, sat with us and waited patiently when we weren't quite finished with our deadline. We’d also like to thank our advisers for their dedication and help: Vicki Nofi who, de- spite having almost no exper- ience, managed to keep our books balanced; Karen Lund who generously gave us her weekends and free time to cor- rect copy and offer much need- ed moral support; and Ken Schwinn who was always there to pick up the pieces when everything fell apart. Eighteen different personalities, argu- ments and lots of tears made it difficult, but Ken never let his enthusiasm or support fade. Our parents and families also deserve undying thanks for all their help, encouragement and support which was there when we needed it most. A special thanks goes to all our editors, assistants, staff and photographers. They’ve done an outstanding job and we re very proud of them. We hope that Hi-Life ’82 will mean as much to you as it does to us. AnnMarre Kenney Victoria DeSimone Editor-in-chief Editor-in-chief While his soda gets flat. Andy Schmitt must finalize a layout for the October deadline The feeling of drudgery that over comes one when faced with writting captions, is mirrored on Stephanie Kaufmann s face.

It has been a year of achievements and traditions, records and fads, pride and accomplishment. It also marks the end of high school-the friendships and the events which charac- terized FHS. Looking back, you may laugh or cry, but the memories won't fade. How could one forget the surprised look on Mr. Begeal’s face when he walked into his office and found that all his furniture was missing? What about the anticipation Tina Strubel felt as she waited for June 17. the day of the Senior Banquet at Crest Hollow Country Club, to arrive? Who could forget the fun Colleen O'Brien and Kathy Connolly had on the senior trip to the Frank Davis Resort? Maybe what will stand out in your mind will be the uncertainty you felt as you walked into the gym in your cap and gown, or the sadness you felt as Mr. Begeal's speech ended the graduation ceremony. The front of the school takes on a dif- ferent look after a snowfall. This is what we ll remember. We shared the secrets, completed the projects, cried on each other’s shoulders, but most of all, we exhibited the spirit and togetherness that happens m 3 16 Theme Closing Volume 58 of the Farmingdale Senior High School yearbook, HI-LIFE, was printed by Josten's American Yearbook Company, State College, Pennsylvania.

All color photography was processed by Greenberg-Biello Studios, and all black and white frames were processed in the Farmingdale High School darkroom. The book consists of 316 pages, forty in full color. Employing a contemporary magazine format, the 1982 HI-LIFE had a press run of 825 copies.
