Outside of school, in our personal lives, money is green, envy is green, and when one is young and inexperienced, he is called “green . And this year, everyone from the administration and faculty to students, clubs, and sports teams, has known the feeling that maybe the grass is greener on some other side. Our sports teams knew the agony of doing all they could to have a winning season, while many school organizations worked hard to keep up tra- ditions. And if there was ever a time when so many negative things happened in the district, it was this year. Teacher and Board of Education disputes, student protests, and the retirement of Mr. McLennan after 25 years of service to the school, were among the many events that could have led to the disillusionment and low morale of the entire school population. We knew, however, that we could not let all of these difficulties stand in our way. It would have been a very grim year, indeed, if we had let a few problems drag us down. ► Ithlng that thm already had h«r license and was out on tho open road. a In J •°ch place ol H hong out.

A little thing like the weather, which stayed warm and sunny through Christmas, al- lowed everyone more time to enjoy the out- doors on free periods and after school.

New York weather was always a little unpredictable, but this year from the visu- ally snowless winter to the rainiest spring on record it was never easy to tell what would I come next. The Commons was transformed into a green paradise, the afternoon before ffteHomecom- ing Dance. The Senior Talent Show was moved to March, to highlight it by its separation from the June graduation festivities. For the past two years the Dalers had defeat- ed every team they faced, except for Massa pequa. The 1982 season also found us an un? beatable team, as we went up against the Chiefs for a tNtrd time. Not only did the Dalers destroy Massgpequa, but we won the Home- coming gamto, against Syosset, and went unde- feated, all the way to the County Champion- ship game. 1 - Knowing that no matter what happened, we would work to mdke Farmingdale spirit strong, we were sure we trould weather any storm. And in a year of controversy and change, we not only made it through, we made it. After the apple-dunk- ing contest at the Pep Rally, Cathy Studdert vents her frustration at not coming In first.

There were the usual teenage agonies. Changes upset the daily routine or expec- tations for the future.

Not only does a student have to decide between which difficult classes to take but now a class as simple as gym has a wide variety of options to chose from. The threat of missing out on the annual Home- coming Dance enticed many to purchase tick- ets. Class officers Liz Flynn and Fran Marcus help in promoting sales. The People Who Decorated The Commons Should Be Congratulated. The Atmosphere Of The Place Brought On A Contagious Feeling Of School Spirit. -Debbie Walls, Senior Donated by the class of 1983. the new Home- coming trophy will be a momento for future classes to strive for. This year, the class of 1984 became the first class to have their name in- scribed on it. 10 Homecoming The Commons, transformed into a cheerfully decorated dance floor, was hardly recognized as the same place that was seen a few hours before. Everyone enjoyed socializing and danc- ing to music provided by a live D.J. The first school dance of the year gives many students a chance to show off their abilities. Gala Milioner and partner Anjali Gulati win the doubles dance contest with their flashy routine. SPIRITS RUN HIGH For weeks, announcements blared about it, posters advertised it, and fi- nally the rumored marvel appeared. A four-foot Homecoming trophy mysteri- ously materialized in the window of the Main Office and would be awarded to the victorious class. Which one would win this great monument? Homecoming 1982 continued a res- urrected tradition for the second year. The annual Green and White Day con- jured up that feeling of school spirit and unity that lasted throughout the weekend. Students arrived at school on Friday, November 2, 1982 gar- nished in green and white attire. To add further atmosphere, the aroma of green and white carnations sold by the Varsity Leaders’ Club permeated the air throughout the school. Great anticipation grew as the day continued. At one o’clock classes were excused, and swarms of students headed towards the football field to participate in the pep rally and the class competitions. The Dalerettes, ac- companied by the marching band, commenced the festivities, followed by the cheerleaders who introduced those 42 daring and rugged gentlemen who would lead Farmingdale against their rival, Syosset. Suddenly all atten- tion was centered on a pickup truck where courageous souls volunteered risking their sanity, to participate in contests including apple dunking, piz- za eating, jello eating and relay races. Those people were really nuts. I wish I had the guts to do that, exclaimed Lisa Pravato, senior. The Imagine being of royal birth and not knowing it. King and Queen.

The festivities continued right through the evening at the Homecom- ing Dance held in the Commons deco- rated with streamers, ballons, and a banner designed by each class. The spirit and fun of Homecoming Dance was terrific and I’m glad everyone was included in it,” reflected Anne Mosca, freshman. Highlights of the evening in- cluded dance contests, the awarding of the trophy to the very deserving junior class, and the announcing of Mi- chael Cardascia and Sandy Penn as Homecoming king and queen. Now that the rivalry between classes had ended, the real challenge, which would require great unity and support by all, was yet to take pla- ce—the game! Confident, enthusiastic fans crowded the stands to lend their support in spite of the cold weather. By the end of the first half, great concern began to surface since the Dalers were behind 0 to 8. Throughout the second half everyone watched in- tensely as the Dalers continued to lag behind. Could we possibly lose this game after remaining undefeated for the entire season? With minutes left in the fourth quarter, the Dalers made an awesome comeback winning with a score of 12 to 8. It was the perfect ending to a wonderful weekend!” ex- claimed Janet Gioia, senior.

Although The Student Morale Was Low Due To The Lack Of Negotiations On The Teachers' Contract, The Homecoming Lifted Spirits A Bit And All Was Forgotten For A While. -Dan Riha, Senior Homecoming 13 Fiddling Around With TRADITION Traditions are an important part of everyday life in Anatevka. Tevye (Maury Kestenbaum) explains the duties of each member of the fam ily as the fiddler (Richard Scarangella) sets the tone. Tradition, tradition! Forty voices echoed throughout the auditorium. Every person on stage was proud to be part of Farmingdale High School's annual fall play. This year they presented Fiddler on the Roof. In spite of the title of the opening song, Fiddler on the Roof veered from tradi- tional paths. Gone was the overture. Per- sonally, I feel it is better because the audi- ence gets restless if the overture is too long, stated Jeanine Ingrassia, senior. The audience, sensing a change of pace, immediately directed all its attention to the players on the stage. The three revolving turn tables, coup- led with the lack of a curtain, brought a uniqueness to the changing of the sets. All set changes were done during dimouts or blackouts. The audience seemed to be impressed. Then came the dream scene. At first, all that could be seen were white hands floating in the dark. This whole scene was done in the dark except for the use of black lights. The black lights caused any- thing that was white to glow and everyth- ing else to be hidden. This gave the scene the spooky effect that was intended. It was so exciting to hear the audience's reactions, commented Amy Altobelli, ju- nior. During the past few years, the Play- crafters have done plays with happy end- ings. Fiddler on the Roof” had a serious plot with a very sad ending. The end of the show was emotionally draining for me. Right after I had to act depressed, there were the curtain calls in which ev- eryone had to smile, reflected Sue Kes- tenbaum, senior. The last scene was especially emo- tional on closing night, Adele Hess, sen- ior, recalled. There was one part in the last scene when Yente comes to say goodbye to Golde before leaving Ana- tevka. The hug we gave each other meant so much more on closing. I was near tears because the show was over. It would be the last time I would ever get to work with or even see some of the people that I practically lived with for two months.” This feeling of closeness and respect one actor feels for another in the theater is one tradition that can never be broken. Strange happenings are common occur- rences during the night. The evil spirits have come to haunt Golde (Jeanine Ingrassia) or at least that's what Tevya leads her to believe Marriage is a Joyous occasion. Tzeitel (Grace Delligatti) and Motel (Conrad Sienkiewicz) fi nally are married by the rabbi (Mike Trifaro) while Mike Kramer and David (Jlric help with the ceremony. Any husband is better than no husband. Yente (Adele Hess) promises Golde that she will find a husband for each and every one of her daughters. When duty calls loved ones are often separat- ed.

All eyes, whether anticipating their turn behind the masks or shining with awe. are directed towards the extravaganza. Who was that masked person, or rather, what was it? Perhaps, it was the girl that sat next to you in math everyday fourth period, or the boy that always stared at you in lunch. In reali ty. Dress Down Day 1982 had arrived bringing with it many surprises. Some awaited October 29 with an- ticipation, others with doubt. Many were worried how other classmates would react to their costumes. People actually thought Gumby was really a giant string bean, and who were those girls with green mops on their heads? Steven Wolk, senior, recalled, I really enjoyed my costume because nobody knew who was under the Chewbacca suit. I started walking up to people I didn’t even know and grunting at them.” What a sight the Commons was on the morning of October 29. Everyone was parading around showing off the results of hours, or for some, minutes of work. Preparing for Dress Down Day was more than half of the fun, especially if a group of people dressed up together. “I remember the first time our group had a meeting. We all had our own ideas on how we thought the behind the costume should be done. Towards the middle of the day we all had the same disgusted expressions on our faces. It was a miracle our costumes turned out the way they did,” recalled Jean- ine Ingrassia, an umpa-loompa. Others chose to do a costume by themselves. Billy Kurtz, a top hat, stat- ed. I felt I missed out on part of the fun by not dressing up with a group.” The special part of the day was that only the seniors were allowed to par- ticipate. For years, they had watched other classes have their fun. Now it was their turn. Lisa Praveto, a bumble- bee. remarked, Dress Down Day is a privilege that makes us seniors feel special.” Most agreed that the underclassmen should not be allowed to participate. I feel Dress Down Day is a senior activ- ity and should remain so. The under- classmen would only cause chaos. Anyway. I enjoy watching the seniors have their fun; it gives me something to look forward to,” stated Nancy Niemczyk, junior. Actually, Dress Down Day was the first activity the class of 1983 partici- pated in together. Something like Dress Down Day creates a special feel ing among the class and causes z closeness to develop, explained Sue Kestenbaum, an umpa-loompa. The Unknown Band led the proces sion down Woodward Parkway to the elementary school. There, a crowd of children ranging from four to twelve watched with amazement. Some were shy; others were very responsive. Pa- tricia Baumann, a capsule, comment- ed, We decided to do something that happened currently—the Tylenol scare. The kids were so little they real- ly did not understand what we were supposed to be. Dress Down Day was a letdown for certain people. Maria Milano, a Kity Ka-Do coloring book, related, My cos- tume was very uncomfortable and that caused me not to have as good a time as I had intended.” The crisp spring-like day added ex- tra enthusiasm to the already festive atmosphere. The day held different memories for everyone that would last a lifetime. Even twenty-five years after Dress Down Day classmates will still be wondering who was that man dis- guised as Death? Dress Down Day 17 IBS GREAT ESCAPE The monotony seemed to have reached a maximum, but yet there was more to come. Students trudged from class to class with thoughts only of the upcoming weekend. Each class seemed to go by at a snail’s pace. Fi- nally, the last bell rang, and masses of people made a mad dash for their long awaited freedom. However, escaping from school did not necessarily mean finding Gtopia. Many students found that every minute away from school was not des- tined to be one's own. Free time was still important even if it was dampened by nagging thoughts of those twenty- eight overdue art labs, the not yet started ten page report, and the 320 page book, due in two days, that was still nicely sitting in the library. Janet Gioia, senior, confided, Whenever I go out and have a fun time while my homework remains untouched at home, I always have a guilty feeling lingering in the back of my mind. Others didn’t let schoolwork burden their conscience. Free time is my time, a time when I’m doing things for me. Whatever I’m doing, I do for my- self and by my own choosing, posi- tively stated Jay Weinstein, senior. School and the activities that ac- companied it occupied a tremendous part of everyone’s life. Leisure time, although not always evident to overly active or employed students, allowed one to get away from the daily grind. Veronica D’Angelis, senior, comment- ed, Leisure time gives me an opportu- nity to breathe and to hang out with my friends! To other students free moments were non-existent; there was no time to think things out and rest. Diana Hibbard, senior, exclaimed, What leisure time? Between work and school there is none! Weekends for some students were planned to the second. Now the tele- phone changed from a weekday gossip grapevine to a weekend necessity. The phone was indispensable in order to find out what was happening. Without it I wouldn't know what my friends were doing or what was going on, said Janine Meunier, junior. For entertainment, the movies at the Sunrise Mall provided students with a wide selection of choices. Places like Pawnbroker, Whiskey Reds, and Mer’s often lured students who wished to be with friends and have a panic. If I didn’t have some time to relax with friends, I never would have been able to survive the upcoming school week, replied Paul Sheridan, senior. To get away from the hassles of school many students chose to be by themselves. Some preferred to blast out the rest of the world in a room with the stereo cranked all the way up, while others preferred the silence of curling up with a good book. A popu- lar form of filling up time was sitting in front of the tube escaping from the world of reality for a while with the ever continuing saga of soap opera characters. It's a chance to take my mind away from what is really happen- ing and get involved in something su- perficial, like if Luke will ever walk again or who actually killed Nora Ful- ton?” explained Donna O’Leary, sen- ior. The one major problem confronted by all was the question of money. Be- sides having to work to afford college, many students found the only way to pay for those Big Macs and fill the gas tank was to enter the world of work. I really enjoyed knowing that if I want to buy something, I don’t always have to run to my parents. Working makes me feel less restricted, remarked Mike Weisbrod, senior. The weekend and all the other pre- cious free time always seemed to fly past while everyone tried in vain to make every moment count. It was dur- ing the escape from school that we “hung out” with friends who will al- ways be remembered, and shared times that will never be forgotten. The phone is the next best thing to being there. By talking with a friend.

Some are cute, some are cuddly, some are beau- tiful, some are unusual, but since beauty is in the eye of the beholder,” all appeal to someone. They are all special to at least one person—they are pets. The majority of students with pets have either a dog or a cat. Rarely does one encounter pets as unusual as the one owned by the Munster family. Al- though their animal Spot’s species has never been revealed, it is safe to as- sume that he is not your ordinary poo- dle. From the outside the traditional pet seems very ordinary, but deep down unique qualities can be found. Cats on TV can dance the “Chow, Chow, Chow and dogs talk thanks to sub- titles. In the everyday world, in spite of having to be cared for daily, dogs and cats are a pleasure to have around. Nancy Licursi, freshman, comment- ed, My dog, Shadow, is really super and well behaved. Taking care of a pet is sometimes an unpleasant necessity. Some, such as dogs, require only feeding and walk- ing; others, like birds and gerbils have to have their cages cleaned—a less than enjoyable task. Serena Carter, a senior who lives with her parents, a sister, and nine cats said, “The cats are pleasant and really don’t take up space or require much care. Another household that was invaded by many animals—twelve rabbits—is that of Sandy Von Thadens, junior, They run around the house after my brother lets them out. They’re really cute!” Some unfortunate people can’t have pets because of allergies. The most common problem is a reaction to ani- mal hair. However, some allergies are bizarre. Kris McDonnell, freshman, re- veals, I’m allergic to goldfish gills!” All pets are friends whether they are common, like dogs and cats, or unique, like snakes and tarantulas. Many people swear their pets know their feelings. Most pets, after living in a home, take on people-like personal- ities and become as much a part of the family as a brother or a sister. Charlie Brown has served as an ex- ample to all of us, as he and Snoopy have been pals for years. Truly all pets are man’s best friends. Eye contact is important in capturing one's attention.

Janet Cast and her horse, Mickey, often enjoy spending a quiet day together. Most people would be repulsed by the idea of a snake curling around their neck. However.

The best things in life often come in small packages. Despite the differences in their sizes.

The belief in the bearded man dressed in a red suit, flying through the sky on a sled pulled by reindeer, was no long- er present. The anticipation of waiting for Santa Claus to come down through the chimney bringing gifts had long since vanished. Everything then seemed special and new; as a child one had few worries. Things tended to change, though, as everyone grew older. The meaning of Christmas was looked upon in a differ- ent light as children became teen- agers. The spirit was still there, only different things took priority. Anne Marie Burmeister, junior, stated, When the holidays come around ev- eryone counts the number of days un- til vacation. The whole school be- comes very tense with anticipation. Most people would agree that the holidays change people's attitudes throughout school. Everyone gets ex- cited and friendly about things,” re- marked Shanni Reine, senior. One of the reasons for the differ- ences in moods was the many holiday activities that took place. The Honor Society sponsored blood drive added to the feeling of doing good for others. Mary Winterfeldt, senior, admitted. I felt better after I gave blood. It made me feel good that my blood was given to someone in need. For all I know my blood could have gone to my grand- mother, who received blood right after I gave. Certain people were not able to give blood or just didn’t want to. I was very upset when my doctor told me I couldn’t give blood, especially be- cause Miss Lindeman always needed so many blood transfusions. I would have loved to have been able to help her by giving blood, recalled Steph- anie Kaufmann, senior. The Head Start party, given by the Key Club and the Honor Society, was one way of sharing happiness. Nick Barone, senior, stated, I loved being Santa because all the little kids came over and hugged me. What a feeling it was seeing their eyes light up at the sight of Santa. The only part of the activities that disappointed many people took place during the last two periods before va- cation in the Commons. The whole school was invited to join in and get into the spirit, but not many people bothered to stay. Some took this as an opportunity to go home early. I found it very disappointing that more people didn’t stay and get into the holiday spirit, stated Ellen Katz, senior. The Jazz Lab performed in the Com- mons as usual. The only difference was that the Dalerettes didn’t do their routine. We really weren’t sure that there were even going to be two free periods the last day before vacation so we didn’t bother practicing for it. We decided to use that time to practice for the competition, stated Melita Froux- ides, a senior Dalerette. A sparkle of happiness shone throughout all the activities. The jin- gling of bells worn on shoes, heard by all, tended to remind everyone that this was indeed holiday time; many Santa hats were also in evidence. The whole feeling of the season could best be summed up by the shouted wishes of friends to one another for a happy holiday and a well spent vacation. 22 Holidays Little children are irresistible to most teen- agers. The Head Start party was a perfect op portunity for Melita Frouxides to spend some time with the children and spread a little love. The hustle and bustle of the holiday season sometimes leave little time for oneself. Bonnie Hess takes advantage of some free time to ex periment with new styles. The gesture of giving and receiving is an impor- tant part of the holiday season. Heidi Christo- phersen. Diane DeGiacomo. and Toni Kostyan brighten one another's spirits by exchanging to kens of friendship. The holiday festivities would not have been the same without music. The Jazz Lab s perfor mance in the Commons spread good cheer throughout the school. Holidays 23 ummer wirl Heat waves and longer days invaded the earth, clothes were peeled off al- lowing the sun's rays to be absorbed into the skin, all heralding the arrival of summer. June, July, and August were the months associated with freedom, par- ticularly from annoying bells, teachers lecturing endlessly, and homework. There was ten weeks to devote entire- ly to personal pursuits, such as getting a tan. I love going to the beach and letting my winter-white skin bake to a golden brown, remarked senior So- nya Kaestner, echoing a very common feeling. Others, like Doug Walata, junior, enjoy winter more than summer since if you’re hot, you can only take off a certain amount of clothes, but layering clothes will keep you warm.

No it's fattening and I'm on a diet!—B-But still it is for a good cau- se!—Nope, I won't have it! I have will power! Once again a baffled student strug- gled with the aid of his conscience and will power to overcome those terribly tempting morsels. Though successful this time, this was only one of the many overpowering experiences one would encounter throughout a life- time. Although Americans have proven to be the most weight conscious people in the world, they also have acquired the unique ability to surround and tempt themselves 24 hours a day with food. But this was not accomplished without the help of treacherous gim- mick-pushers that lured the innocent unconsciously into eating binges. There’s no escape! They have been known to attack indiscreetly and at moments of greatest weakness. One would be innocently watching his fa- vorite program when suddenly mouth- watering burgers sizzled across the screen asking if you’re hungry, a poor little bunny drained himself dancing about rich, thick chocolate, or a tou- can invited everyone to follow his nose. Some figured they could beat the system, going to school and avoiding food by occupying their minds with school work. Upon entering the build- ing, crowds of hungry students who forgot to eat breakfast swarmed the Green and White Shop snatching a quick bite before class. Proceeding fur- ther, through the Commons, students congregated around a paper sack filled with soft pretzels. Classrooms were Anything edible looks good when you are hungry.

For those fortunate students who had their own transportation, lunch was a cultural experience, including everything from pizza to Chinese food. McDonalds gives me 60% more meat than Farmingdale High School,” ex- claimed Denise King, senior. As the day drew to a close, the soda machine became the next target. Stu- dents fumbled with books and coats, trying to find just enough change for that direly needed soda, even if it meant missing the bus home. Arriving home after a hard day’s work, students immediately invaded the fridge and sat down to watch soaps.” The system seemed unbeatable, but some methods have been devised to master it. The Diet—sometimes con- sidered a four letter word—has be- come the challenge of the Eighties, calling for a survival of the fattest. The means of accomplishing this feat have been extensive, ranging from magic diet pills to the devastating diet plans devised by Scarsdale, Atkins, a close friend or perhaps even themselves. Others, not as interested in dieting, have substituted physical fitness. I'd rather run to stay fit than stop eating,” explained Elyse DeMayo, senior. For those unfortunate people who had a difficult time accomplishing such feats on their own, society has pro- duced brave souls who have success- fully conquered the system and have seen it as their life’s mission to save those suffering from the battle of the bulge. They are determined to over- come the system whether it be by Weight Watchers' phone calls discour- aging members from eating, or watch- ing the spirited and energetic Richard Simmons persuading everyone to “Liveit”.

More and more families were not just buying Atari but sophisticated computer systems. Having a computer is like having a second friend. It helps me with my homework and can act as an opponent in a game,” commented Anne Mosca, freshman. While computers were enriching minds and making life more comfort- able, there was a spine-tingling journey waiting for those who dared to ven- ture. The information was not stored within a computer, but rather all was locked in the mind and could only be made reality by use of the imagination.

Personal choices of music could be heard by students who carried boxes as well as by those around them. Leo- na Ashmore, senior, remarked, Sometimes it’s amazing when the boxes are blasting music and you can’t hear yourself talk or think. If you’re not doing anything, they are fun.” The walkman made it possible for people to hear their own particular type of music in lonely enjoyment. Trish Flanagan, senior, said, I prefer the walkman because you feel like you are in your own little world. Popular crazes often vanished quickly and without fanfare as room was made for new ones.

Regardless of where shopping is done, Macy's, A S, or the Flea Market, many choose to follow the styles that are “in. As Laura Steinmetz, freshman, states. I choose my clothes according to what everyone else is wearing. but. adds Theresa Cacciapuoti, ju- nior. Only if it looks nice. What is in leaves a wide variety of styles to choose from. The never nding saga of the Preppies continues to hold its place in fashion, complete with its buttondown shirts, crew neck sweaters, argyle socks, and loaf- ers. Ruffles seem to appear every- where from the bottom of mini and prairie skirts to the collars and cuffs of romantic, lacy blouses. Stripes— vertical, horizontal or di- agonal—no matter what the direc- tion is, can be found across shirts, down pants and around socks. The tuxedo look cleverly blends both of these by combining ruf- fled front tuxedo shirts with pin- striped pants. The latest craze that seems to be emerging in the fashion scene is punk. It lets a person s imagination go free and be creative with what one wears. I dress punk to be different I don't like the 'everyday T-shirt and denim' look. explains Tom Moffett, senior.

They need to share their problems with someone who knows them well. Trustworthy and caring, they are there when you need them, said Nanci Campbell, senior. Even though many people feel they need a best friend they don't find this friendship restrictive. Scott Marino, ju- nior, commented, You can never have enough friends.” Often cliques are formed by a group of close friends. People with similar thoughts, tastes, or opinions tend to stick together. Sometimes, as Marie Bland, junior, stated, Cliques catego- rize people. Some students cannot function alone; they need others to share in everything. Others feel as Ke- vin Graves, senior, A clique ruins a lot of self expression. Friends stick together through thick and thin. However, problems do arise when opinions differ. There are many ways of bridging these differences. Some, stated Stacy Browning, junior, talk things out. While others, com- mented Phil Guiliano, senior, get an- gry, disappointed. Other times when friends are disappointed by each other’s behavior, they express themselves emo- tionally. “We discuss what the person did and either cry or get furious, re- marked Kathy Murray, junior. There are moments when friends face trying times. When tension builds up in school, friends enjoy the camaraderie of being with one another. They cheer each other up and help keep one an- other company. They share their frus- trations as well as their hopes. To have a friend, a person must be a friend. Dally, when the 1:15 p.m. bell rings, the impa tient lines begin to form at the Coke machine. Finally reaching the front of the line, Lynda Heller.

ALWAYS AND FOREVER This glorious evening took a great deal of preparation. Angela Tagarello, junior, expressed a common concern, I must have gone shopping at least 50 million times looking for something unique. Getting a gown was not the prob- lem. explained Jimmy Schmitt. It was waiting to see what color the gown was going to be and then finding a tux to match. One of the biggest problems con- fronting all was finding transportation. Some scurried around in confusion for days and finally ended up riding in the back seat of their father s Volvo, while others managed to rent a limousine. We didn’t have enough money for the limousine so my boyfriend worked the day of the prom to raise the money, admitted Debbie Walls, senior. When the day arrived there was a mixture of emotions: nervousness and excitement combined with an air of jubilance. Not many bothered with the trifles of school on such an important day. I was nervous that night, and I thought I would never get ready, and then he showed up early, remarked Maria Milano, senior. Though the preparations had been long and many, everything fell into place and finally the stage was set... . LIVING IT A palace full of warmth and richness came alive with music and dance. Joel Hile, senior, expressed the view shared by many as couples started to arrive, This place is tremendous!” Large as the Galaxie was, the dance floor was small. It could barely contain the she- nanigans of some of the seniors. We could have done without them. It was our prom, why did they have to monop- olize it? asked Shanni Reine, now a senior herself. Despite this, couples danced to the continuous music of the two bands: Mazarin and East Coast. Happiness became contagious as the magic of the Galaxie ball room cast its spell. It was really nice seeing every- one dressed not in the usual ripped up Lee's and sneakers, but in gowns and tuxedos,” commented Angela Manis- calco, senior. As this evening of splendor drew to a close, the Prom Queen, Rosemary Cue- cio and Prom King, Michael Travis were named. Before too long couples left, not only with their brandy and beer glasses, table cards, and flowers, but also with their memories. I'll never forget the music, the people, and the time alone with my boyfriend, reminisced Janine Genheimer, senior. Of course, one of the highlights of any prom is the crowning of the royalty. Guest faculty judges helped select Rosemarie Cuccio and Michael Travis prom queen and king. 42 Junior Prom The theme of this year's prom was not Hawaiian Holidays.

Each day, It is the same routine, and half the time the faculty and kids alike are concentrating more on what they’re going to do as soon as that bell rings than on what is going on in class. It isn’t easy to stand in front of thirty students each day and try to teach them something they feel they may never have any use for. There Is no answer to the eternal question: “Why do I have to learn this? I’ll never be able to use logarithms for anythlngl” There weren’t many advances in the curriculum this year. Some changes that were made seemed to be for financial reasons. Budget cuts affected Driver’s Education, and more money than ever was 44 Academic Divider A teacher's dream is a student's night mare.

Academic Divider 45 St fe asy eing] EEJf spent on computers for the Math Department. Whatever changes were made, though, things went along more or less the way they always have. One may not enjoy every single class, but that one course, that wood shop or art class, that acting, home economics, or humanities course, that period with a unique teacher, helps to make the routine bearable or perhaps even worthwhile. With over ten acres of enclosed space in the school, getting from class to class is not always simple. The Alternate School to Art Wing corridor is the longest in the school, but is mainly used only by people heading for the gyms or the cafeteria. Of all the school's courtyards, the one between the gyms and the third wing is probably the prettiest and most serene. Unfortunately, it is kept this way by sealing it off from student activity by locked and chained doors. We wandered through its hallways lost on our first days here. Now we walk confidently to our classes. We re not afraid to walk through the commons HOME AWAY Over 100 classrooms to find your way to. Hallways longer than our football field.

No matter how well you know your way around school you cannot be considered an expert until you realize some little known facts. There are 66 doors in our school that lead to the outside alone. Considered with all the classroom doors, closet doors, and supply room doors we are well on our way to 300. 1,500 windows? asked Julie DeSalvatore, junior.

FROM HOME The structure of the outside of the building is very unique. Our courtyards are a nice place to relax. If you stay after school, the courtyards are a nice place to sit, especially in the springtime, said Eileen Connelly, junior. Many students pass through the hallways of the school without ever really seeing it. However, there are students who see the school in a different way. I spend a lot of time here, said John Woods, sophomore. I like to sit in front of the building and do my homework on nice days.” After spending six or more hours a day here, many students feel the same way John does and have come to appreciate the school for what it is, a home away from home. Angular design characterizes the schools’ structure. The pool is outlined by the Girls' gym. Boys’ gym. and the Girls' lockerroom. SECRET SERVICE Sick Of School A test? Today?” This is a question echoed by many students and a problem handled in many ways. A favorite method of avoiding tests and all other unpleasant experiences is a trip to the nurses' office. “Last year I got out of Italian by telling the teacher I would be violently ill if I didn’t leave, states Regina Perez, junior. Actually, I just didn't want to go to class. I got out of practically all my classes at one time or another even though I wasn't sick, said Louie Spina, senior. Many students feel that by going to the nurses' office they can avoid receiving cut slips. A trip to the nurses' office can provide a respite from class that cannot result in pun- ishment. The nurses, however, are not as gullible as students would like to believe. The nurses would not allow a student to stay in the office if they believed that he or she was there only to avoid class. One method of preventing students from over staying their welcome in the nurses’ of- fice was asking students to leave at the end of every period. A student who was seriously ill would be sent home. Any student who still felt ill had to return to class but could ask the next teacher for a pass to return to the nurse. In this way the nurses were able to keep track of the sick students and return the ones who were there for other reasons to class. A problem many teachers have is actually getting the students to go to the nurses' office after they send them there. I said I was going to the nurses' office, but I never got there, said Timmy Dooley, senior. By checking passes diligently and checking the nurses’ records teachers were able to be more aware of the students who misused the privilege of going to the nurses' office. There are some students who realize the importance of the nurses' office. I have nev- er gone to the nurses' office during school unless it was really necessary, said Donna O'Leary, senior. Kurt Wimberger, senior, ad- ded. The nurses have enough to do without worrying about people who aren’t even sick. A sixth period nap is a necessity for total recovery. Jennifer Branston sleeps before returning to class sev enth period. Found At Last Lost a glove, notebook, T-shirt? How about a pair of glasses? If anything is missing the lost-and-found is the best place to start looking. Before a student’s lost possessions can be found however, he must locate the lost-and-found, and that's not easy. The lost-and-found? questioned Mary Beth Daniels, junior, I didn’t even know we had one. Mary Beth was in good company. I never went to the lost-and-found because I didn't know where it was, said Timmy Doo- ley, senior. The battered box is not a glamorous place to have belongings stored. For Howie Granat. the condition of the box is less important than its contents. However some students do know where the lost-and-found is: Or do they? Senior Frank Soldano stated, It's in the nurse’s office, right? Right? Wrong! There are two lost-and-founds, answered Nicky Barone, senior. I had to go there when I lost a Spanish book. I had to ask around, but eventually I found it in the main office. Once a student has found the lost-and- found he can search through others’ lost pos- sessions for his precious textbook, left sneak- er, hat, or sweaty gym sock. That's the easy part. 48 Secret Service There Are Many School Jobs That Are The School In Many Ways. Many Stu- Challenging And Have Nothing To Do With dents Don’t Realize The Amount Of Work Teaching. People Are Employed To Aid That Goes Into Running A School. Desk Set When students think of school-oriented jobs they often mention the obvious: teach- ers, administration, and custodians. They sel- dom mention a very vital area of the school’s staff however: the secretaries. Secretaries are not in the glorious positions they might have found in average office work, but they are very important to us here. The secretaries' regular office duties are com- bined with the job of helping students who are in need of extra attention. I love to work with all the students pop ping in, said Mrs. Eleanor Elster, main office secretary. Many other offices have secre- taries that enjoy the close contact with stu- dents. The health, main guidance, and grade offices all employ secretaries whose goals are to help the students out whenever possible. Students have found that the secretaries are usually well informed and capable of supply- ing information and aid whenever possible. As strange as it may sound the secretaries of our school play a very necessary role in maintaining the harmony students take for granted. The grade offices are a vital part of the school's opera- tion. Ms. Fitzsimmons works dutifully to keep the re- cords in order each day. Work Out A job that is almost always overlooked is that of the custodians. Nick LaMorteand Al Moszkow are just two of the many men whose efforts help keep the school run- ning smoothly. The lock on a locker doesn't open. The student’s next class is in five minutes, and he knows that a locked locker is a poor excuse. Where to turn for help? The custodian's of- fice. Whenever a minor crisis such as this, or a major disaster such as a broken window oc- curs, a custodian will soon be on the scene to help. The custodians are here working while most students are still home asleep, or just beginning their morning routine. We open the doors at 6:00 every morning, said the very popular head custodian, Nick LaMorte. Not only does work start early for the cus- todian staff; they do not leave when school ends at 2:00. Many men can be found working to clean up the Commons and other areas every day after school. In The Lab The job of a lab technician is a very unusu- al one. The duties that accompany such a job are different from any other position at school. Mrs. Lucille Meyerson, our lab techni- cian, has the responsibility of seeing that sci- ence classes run smoothly. The job requires that Mrs. Meyerson put together solutions for experiments in class. I think my job is pretty original, said Mrs. Meyerson. I enjoy what I do very much. Mrs. Meyerson can always be seen popping in and out of the science classrooms. Her job allows her to work closely with the members of the science department. Mrs. Meyerson is Science classes wouldn't run properly without the aid of Mrs. Meyerson. As the Lab Technician, one of her re- sponsibilities is to prepare solutions for science experi ments. very helpful, said Mr. Mahood. Her assis- tance is very important to me, and she's al- ways around when she’s needed. The science department is kept running smoothly by the combined efforts of all the staff members. Mrs. Meyerson's work is a big help to all those involved in the science de- partment.

ANOTHER WAY TO GO The Board of Cooperative Educational Services provides a wide variety of classes that teach students professional crafts. I take baking because I really enjoy it and I want to pursue it as a career, said Danny Starr, senior. The baking and cooking programs at B.O.C.E.S. are very difficult but also very rewarding. I worked at a beauty parlor over the summer and that was a big help to me, said Bonnie Hess, senior. I enjoy cosmetology, but it’s hard work, said first year student Eileen Minlionica, senior. The B.O.C.E.S. system also provides excellent training for future nurses. There’s so much to learn about being a nurse!” said Maureen Rooney, senior. I really hope to be a successful nurse someday. Mr. Gervasoni, B.O.C.E.S. coordinator, feels that the B.O.C.E.S. program will lead many students to exciting careers that are also well paying jobs. There are a lot of opportunities out there for all of the B.O.C.E.S. students. With a lot of hard work, and effort, I’m sure most of our students will be successful in their careers. _ Vocational programs cannot only lead to a successful career, but can teach skills which can be useful in every day life.

ONE STEP AHEAD What sets an Advanced Placement course apart from a normal course?” This question was posed to the A.P. teachers., Miss Caeca- vallo, Mrs. Perez, Mrs. Wayne, Mr. Cates, Mr. Conroy, Mr. Gryzlo, and Mr. Mahood. Motivation, responsibility, and mental ability were the common factors. Mrs. Wayne replied, The motivation of the student sets this course apart as they easily adapt to an accelerated program of intensive study or an advanced level. Advanced placement programs offer the student the opportunity to learn college-level work in high school. If the student receives an acceptable grade on the A.P. exam, course credit is given by many colleges, enabling many hard working students to advance to the sophomore level in college. John Gannon, senior, said I know what taking A.P. studies are like; I’m taking four of them. But, as Mr. Cates remembers, in the past many students took five A.P. courses, four were just average. A.P. courses demand that the student be creative; it is not a class of mechanical thinking. Mr. Cates said, It’s the intensity; it’s getting them to realize their full potential. Miss Caccavallo answered, It’s a combination of a lot of old work applied to new work. It is not cut and dried; it involves a lot of thinking. I present the work, they work out the problems. I try to get them to do the most. A.P. courses can be challenging, but they are tough. One on one attention is possible in advanced language classes because so few students enroll. Maria Milano will attest to the quality of Mrs. Perez's teaching. All chemistry classes deal with equations and formulas. Mr. Gryzlo's Advanced Chemistry class delves deeper into the chemical world. 52 Advanced Placement The Advanced Placement English assignments include the reading of many books. Mr. Cates is giving an exam to his class on the Mayor of Casterbridge. The teacher s contract dispute makes for some very interesting classes. In A.P Social Studies. Mr. Conroy entertains the class while he discusses European History. Advanced Placement 53 A FINISHED PRODUCT Act It Out Drama classes allow for a great deal of self expression. Theresa Pelicano and Jackie Loos rehearse their lines before a captive audience, their classmates. Tension, joy, excitement, misery. Emotions and knowledge of how to portray them effec- tively are very important to an aspiring actor or actress. Drama class tries to develop a student s talent for expressing these emotions believably before an audience. Many students who participated in drama class went on to a role in the Playcrafters production this year. The production gives students a chance to test their skills on stage. I’ve taken drama and it’s helped me a lot. Of course, real experience is much more im- portant but having a background in high school productions has certainly helped me,” said Jill Niemczyk, senior. Many promising students took drama to help them improve their skills. “I see a lot of kids with real potential. All they need is more polish and practice, said Mr. Ken (Jlric. One facet of the drama class that was very exciting was trying out for. and receiving a part in the show. Fiddler on the Roof. Many students are already hoping for parts in next year’s show. Food For Delicious scents are flowing down the hall- ways. Noses twitch, and faces turn in one direction. All attention is focused on the home economics classes when they are baking. I love the smells that come from there,” said Ann Mosca, freshman. “It isn’t that great when you’re hungry and lunch is three per- iods away though, she continued. In addition to the delicious aromas, stu- dents sometimes discover fuzzy creatures lurking in the classroom. Of course these creatures are destined to become stuffed ani- mals. I give the stuffed animals I make to my nephew,’’ said Karen Lamb, senior. “He really enjoys them.” Thought Some students use their sewing talents in other ways. ”1 made my Dress Down Day costume in class. said Marlene Tenny. I was really happy with the way it turned out.” The home economics classes are a real asset to the school. The students are given the chance to work at cooking and sewing and other things they enjoy. One great advan- tage for the friends of home ec students is sharing cookies, cupcakes, and small lovable pets. Home economics is a class that involves a lot of individ- ual participation.

Handing In Homework Another True Feeling Of Assignments A Student Can Pride Comes From Handing In A, A, A, Space Typing isn’t always easy. The typing teach- ers work hard to instill good techniques and habits in their students. I remind my students to keep their eyes on the copy and their feet on the floor. Pos- ture, good posture, that is, is very important in typing, said Miss Karen Guardino. Typing is considered to be a profitable class. Many students don't realize the conven- ience and all the benefits that come with a Concentrating simultaneously on copy, posture, and the movements of the fingers of both hands is not easy to do. Jill Smith attempts to type a difficult paragraph without making more than five errors. good background in typing. I'm hoping that my typing skills will help me next year when I have to write term pa- pers, said Asia Kahn, senior. Typing skills can be used in many fields, as people grow older. My typing skills have helped me a lot, said Sherry Schrieber, sen- ior. It's really a great thing to know. On Film Media classes are very unusual during film- ing and teacher Ken Ulric tries to make class fun for the students. When students were doing the actual film- ing they enjoyed the class the most. Senior Carmine Ratto said, “I like media best when we re filming. We do work on other days but it’s not the same.” The students made several films during the class. A 30 second commercial, a 5 minute news show, and a 3 minute documentary were included. Sometimes disasters can happen when people are absent for filmings, but it all turned out well in the end, said senior John Nal- bach. The media class filmed three times last year and the rest of the time was spent learn- ing about the techniques used by the advertis- ing agencies to sway customers towards their product. Techniques used in producing films are taught in media class. Learning to use a camera properly is important, and James Serrian is allowed to test his skill in class. Shop Around The atmosphere that greets a person who enters a shop class changes from room to room. Anyone familiar with wood shop re- members the scent of wood being cut. The electronics shop can be characterized by the humming of the machinery. All the shops have their own personal characteristics that make them memorable to anyone who has spent any time there. I like teaching print shop,” said Mr. Mark Piven. It’s a really good class. We do a lot of projects, like making our own textbooks, and silk-screening shirts. I think the kids enjoy it, too.” Other shop classes have interesting class projects as well. Wood shop classes build shelves that the students can take home and use. The electronics classes build strobe lights and other interesting objects. Auto mechanics is very useful for many people in school. Carmine Ratto. senior, brought his car to the shop class when he had a problem with it. They diagnosed the prob- lem right away, and when I took their advice it worked! It was really convenient. Safety First is the motto of shop classes all over. Robert Alleccia removes his goggles only to check the position of the wood with the help of Mike Cassese and Ron Aquino. In The End 55 IT’S A NEW FIELD The advent of computer technology has brought about a need for people trained to work these complicated machines. We are taught how to use word processors and what different jobs they can do in my word processing class, said Lori Brown, junior. Computers can be a great asset to the business world and people trained to use them are in great demand. I have one of the best computers at home. It makes my life a lot easier. I think computers are really an important part of today’s technology. said Steven Wolk. senior. Those students who have a knowledge of computer technology will have a great advantage in later years. We have been using computers all year to help make college information more readily available to the seniors.” said Mr. Ed Glascott. Computers will affect every part of our lives some day, said Mr. Gervasoni. I’m glad we’re keeping up with the technological ad- vances. Computers are a necessary part of life. If you don’t know how to use a computer you will become an underprivileged person, said David Yuen, senior. Not everyone can understand the computers right away. Mary Jean Kester points out a few helpful hints to her friend Sherry Schrieber. The B.O.C.E.S. computer is used to furnish college information for seniors. Mr Glascott uses the computer to print important information for the seniors he counsels. 56 Computers : recent past. Chrissa Dubro is :ompete with other future secre- In the math office, the computer is used to complete homework, print programs for class, or even to aid in Miss Selite's term paper. Jim Schmitt's program is ready to run Computers 57 ■■ ON YOUR OWN College Bound Choosing It Independent Many people believed waiting to hear from colleges was difficult. That waiting wasn’t as hard as the actual filing of the applications. The applications are so important and it's so scary to have to think about what you want to be. It’s so early,” said Angela Manis- calco, senior. The average college application asks a stu- dent to give a brief history of his or her life and for a few dollars promises to evaluate that student and decide whether or not that student is good enough . It’s a scary propo- sition. There are so many essays and forms to keep track of,’’ said Jimmy Schmitt, senior. I hope I can choose a college once I get their replies. Although it was hard, the seniors had most applications finished before the deadlines, with the help of their guidance counselors. As the students awaited the replies the at- mosphere grew tense. Most were accepted by their first choice and those who weren't have decided to make the best of their second choice. There’s a lot of work to be done before going off to college. As a senior. Karen Lamb works hard to prepare herself for the work that she will have to do in the future. At a special assembly juniors are urged to enroll in the Social Studies elective courses offered to seniors. Because social studies isn't mandatory for 12th graders many students feel they don’t have to enroll. The courses can be very valu- able, though. stated social studies depart- ment chairman Mr. Ivan Krakowsky. The al- ternatives in selection range from The World of Work to African Studies. I really enjoy the African Studies class a lot. It’s a fun class and it's informative too,” said Joyce Dworkin, senior. The electives are taught to catch the stu- dent's interest in different areas. Sociology and Childcare are two very different courses that had good enrollment because they pro- vided information that students hope to use in the future. By using African tools, statues and other materials Mrs. Hartford can emphasize the points of her lessons. This statue is part of a religious belief that stems from the birth of twins. Working at ones own pace is the main idea behind Independent Study Art. Richard D'Agnessa works on a project in school, but plans to take his work home to complete it. There were many forms of independent study classes offered this year. The Alternate School is based almost entirely on the idea that individual responsibility is very impor tant to developing character. Independent Study Art is a great idea. I think it makes me more responsible, said Richard D’ Agnessa, senior. He believes that by working on his own he will be able to complete his work without the pressure of a classroom deadline. This allows the student to have a chance to experience what personal responsibility is all about. I like taking Spanish independently, said Maria Milano, senior. Mrs. Perez is really good to us and it helps me learn more about Spanish without taking too much away from the rest of my schedule. Independent study classes were very suc- cessful this year. Independent Art student Sal Garguilo, senior said, ” I think I got much more out of Independent Study than I ever expected to. It was good for me to work on my own. The responsibility that was entrust- ed to me was really important to me. 58 Independently Working Independently Is A Bound For College. An Very Important Ability For Accomplishment That Can Any Student, Especially One Be Helpful Is Learning To Work Inspiration comes from within; talent is something an artist is born with. The two, talent and inspiration, when combined can work together to produce an artist with true talent. Students who took art classes this year were taught to express themselves in various forms of art. We are taught to work in pencil, oils, pen and ink . . . We learn many forms of artistic expression in art class, said Richard D’Agnessa, senior. The art classes I’ve taken here have really made me more interested in the art world, said Jennifer Morris, senior. I've looked into art as a career, especially advertising, she continued. As art students advance to higher levels, they are given more freedom to use their own judgement in producing art work. Victor Chang, senior, said, The art pro- gram here has really inspired me to pursue art as a career. Many students believe that the art program gives them a chance to see how realistic their dreams really are. Art is one of many classes that allows people to express themselves. Drawing what she feels is one way for Jenni- fer Morris to show her emotions. Every student dreads dragging home a pile of books. John Tirico is no exception, he is not looking forward to the work ahead of him. After the last period bell rang, many stu- dents forgot about the long day they had spent at school, but many others did not. Those who remembered their day were re- minded by the pile of books that they had to carry home in order to complete their work. I hate homework, but I always try to get it done, said Anne Mosca, freshman. I think it’s important to finish it because if you don't you won't understand class the next day, she continued. Many teachers believe that by having their students do homework every night they will develop good habits. I think homework is good for the students. They learn the informa- tion better when they study at night, said Mr. John Conroy. Still other teachers give assignments but do not collect them. “I feel that my A.P. Biology course should be taught like a real college course. The homework I give those students is important, but if they don’t do it they only hurt themselves, com- mented Mr. James Mahood. Paul Sheridan, senior, said, The classes are so short that homework is really neces- sary to give you a whole idea of what the lesson is all about. I only hate homework when I get it on the weekends. Making time for homework isn’t easy for many students who are busy with extra cur- ricular activities. Jill Niemczyk, senior, said, I try to do my homework between rehearsals if I can. During rehearsals I make time to do a little too. When Jill isn't rehearsing she lets her homework wait so she can watch her favorite soap opera. The fact that homework is disliked often makes it hard for students to sit down and get it done. “I only do it when I have to, said Siobhan Ogilvie, senior. I’ll do it, but I like to put it off for as long as possible, she added. Independently 59 The fields are alive with the sound of music. Under the leadership of Jill Citrano As note-taking begins, not a sound is heard in the once lively classroom. After the notes the band maintains rhythmical precision. are copied, the students can begin classroom discussion again. The 2:00 announcements are the more lively of the day's commentaries. Mr Mackin A silent place to concentrate on homework or a good book is hard to come by. The provides amusing puns and cryptic sayings for the students to ponder library is one of the few places that provide students with this opportunity At 2:10 the Dalerettes' music can be heard from anywhere in the building. The girls' workout is awlays strenuous and the results can be seen by everyone at the football and basketball games 60 School Sounds BACK- GROUND NOISE (Jpon arriving at school at 6:30 in the morning there is a eerie calmness throughout the halls. Most of the lights are out, no one can be seen, and nothing can be heard except maybe the dripping of water through the roof if it’s raining. Although very peaceful, chaos would soon breakout. About 7:30 crowds of screaming students, who either forgot to study for a test first period or found their teachers are absent, invaded the Commons. To add to this riot, the bell rings and the sound of shuffling feet heading to class swells. Besides listening to boring lectures for at least six periods a day, students are always waiting for disruptions to add interest to a class. Students who drag-raced down the side streets on free periods gained much attention, as did those students who screamed intriguing com- ments to a friend down the other end of the hall. However, some disturbances seem to go unnoticed such as the sounding of a fire alarm. There are so many false alarms, nobody reacts to the fire bells anymore, explains Eileen Connelly, junior. Eighth period can include anything from Mr. Mackin’s humorous two o'clock announcements at 1:15 to the music of the marching band as they parade through the school. Once again at two o’clock the shuffling began to head out the door. Soon the halls were emptied and once again the silence returned. School Sounds 61 IT’S NOT ALWAYS EASY Make It Up Being absent meant many different things to different students. A day of game shows, an afternoon of soap operas, or an entire day of rest and relaxation. For many, being absent provided time for a well earned rest, but com- ing back to school was tougher than it seemed. “I was absent for three weeks with bronchi- tis, said Joel Feuerman, junior. “When I came back I had tons of work to do. I had to read eight chapters in The Hobbit, and I lost a lot of ground in math.” Long absences, like Joel s, were unusual, however, even short absences left students with a lot of work to do. “I try not to be absent too often because you get bombarded with work. I hate having to do double assignments, said Stephanie Schneider, junior. I also hate it when gym teachers expect you to make up classes. It’s hard to have an extra class to go to in addition to everything else you have to make up.” Even with all its hardships, being absent was still a favorite pastime of many stu- dents, and a tradition that is sure to live on in the hearts of the students. They Won’t Bite In elementary school the student’s biggest fear after being caught misbehaving was a trip to the principal's office. In senior high the room that is feared is the dean’s office. “Basically, I see a lot of people who cut classes. They all have to be dealt with. We have to make sure there hasn’t been an error in filing the cut slips and of course, we have to deal with the students who really were cutting, said Mr. Charles Zodda, twelfth grade dean. Students suspected of cutting, or who had been referred to the dean for other matters received a notice to report to the dean. “I was sent to the dean’s office. I was so nervous, and I kept wondering what I did wrong . . . The worst part was waiting to see what he said, explained Rene Guiffreda, ju- nior. The work that a dean does is very demanding. One of Mr. Zodda's responsibilities is checking into all the cut slips his office receives. The deans handle disciplinary measures for their grades. They are responsible for over- seeing the actions of the students they are in charge of. The deans are not always well liked but they are respected. Said Rene, “I never liked Mr. Murphy last year, but now I really do like him. He’s a nice man who’s doing his job.’’ The deans can be seen many times a day walking through the hallways, keeping an eye on the things in the school. The job that a dean undertakes is not an easy one. The re- sponsibilities that the job entails are impor- tant ones, and the job they do is a very fine one. Class work is hard for many students because the work load is very heavy. Many students in class are not looking forward to the work they'll have to do for home- work. and for those who have been absent the night will be even harder. 62 Problems In School Life In High School Can Those Who Find Present Many Problems For Themselves In Trouble Often All Kinds Of Students. Can Truly Say A Day’s Work The topics varied greatly throughout the school. In social studies, the American Revolu- tion and immigration; in English, Thomas Har- dy and William Shakespeare; in science, plastic surgery and test tube births. Even some math students were expected to complete a term paper. The term paper presented problems for many students. One of these was a definite lack of time to complete the project. I really didn't have enough time to com- plete my whole paper, said Rene Guiffreda, junior. Rene also commented on a common complaint among juniors and seniors. The term paper really shouldn't count for so much. Everyone does so much more than just a term paper each marking period. Many students felt that their grade should not have depended so greatly on one paper especially because they did not have a great amount of time to complete it. Term papers are time consuming because of ail the re- search they require. Michelle Stewart looks up important books in the card catalogue while Glendon Bowie looks on. Slipping Out Cutting classes is a punishable offense. For many stu- dents. however, this threat is not taken seriously, and hanging out behind the pool is common. Rocky IV With over two thousand students attending one high school there were bound to be sever- al unresovable conflicts. Students who found themselves in circumstances that seemed be- yond a solution were sometimes involved in fights at school. Fighting on school grounds is a very seri- ous offense. Any student who is caught fighting in school is granted a hearing. If the student was simply defending himself, then there will be no punishment. The students who started the fight can be given five days suspension, and anyone with a history of fighting can be excluded from school, ex- plained Mr. James Kelly, Dean. I think students who fight are stupid. said Tara Heilman, junior. It's so immature, and I think girls who fight have no respect for themselves. Many students believe that fighting in school is senseless because of all the actions the administration can take. Most students believed that fighting any- where wasn’t the answer. Talking out differ- ences is much better than taking all kinds of chances in a school year. When apathy struck students this year they had some strange reactions. Who really wanted to go to class eighth period Friday or first period Monday? Cutting has become an accepted way of avoiding classes for students who do not want to attend. I cut science sometimes, said Donald Fick, sophomore, It’s not because I don’t like the teacher, or the class, I just don’t like the kids too much, he explained. Students who cut and were caught were usually handled strictly by the administration. Students who had a record of cutting were dropped from their classes and assigned to special study halls. I don’t think cutting is so bad. It really should be allowed when there’s a sub. You don’t learn anything anyway, com- mented Beth Heilman, junior. Cutting classes was a way of avoiding work as well. Students who did not complete homework assignments were likely to cut a class. There's not much point in going if you’ve not prepared, Beth added. Fighting in school is a method of releasing anger that is not allowed. Mr. Murphy patiently explains that students who fight will be punished. Problems In School 63 The Sound As a teaching tool, music was used throughout the high school this year. The Humanities classes had students complete music labs to help them distinguish the music of different periods. Sometimes it’s hard to tell the difference between one record and another. The slave chants all sound similar, but we learned a lot about the life of a slave from them, said Rob Nappodona, junior. In foreign language classes music served a dual purpose. Not only did the students im- prove their vocabulary, they improved their ability to speak. The words come more fluent- ly when they're put to music. If you want to keep up you have to get the words out, said Nora Langan, senior. A nation's culture is an important part of any language class. Mrs. Wayne lets her students Serena Carter. Mary McAteer. Lisa Pravato. Vicki Sperling. Lizette Galindo, and Nora Langan listen to French music during class. By teaching the music of Handel and Bach, Mr. Conroy had the opportunity to listen to some of his favorite recordings. Lisa Pravato, senior, said, Mr. Conroy loves to play the music for our class. It's a nice diversion from history and it really is fun. In The Swim Swimming classes aren't just laps. After the lesson of the day is over the students are free to spend the rest of the time playing polo. The groans were audible throughout the gym when the time came for new class as- signments to be given out. Ninth and tenth graders who were told to take swimming were visibly shaken. I didn’t want to take swimming. I thought I would never get dressed and dry in time for class, said Anne Mosca, freshman. ‘‘I like swimming a lot, said Barbara Gib- bons, freshman, I plan to take it all year.” Not every student hated swimming, although some were surprised when, on the first day Mr. Anms instructed them to jump right in. I love it. Since I’m on the swim team, I’m used to it, but the new kids can’t believe that they have to swim the first day, said Julie DeSalvatore, junior. A Problem Many students had problems this year that did not require a guidance councelors aid. Who were these unfortunate people? Math students, of course. Learning formulas, studying equations and sharpening pencils are all a part of endless stream of problems that confronted dedicated math students this year. Math is a tough subject, said Jason Co- hen, sophomore. I get discouraged when I can’t get an answer and it makes me want to give up.” The challenge is what keeps math inter- esting, said David Yuen, senior. “Working out problems is demanding but it’s the best part of a math class.” “For students with a good background in math engineering is a real possibility, said Miss Selitte. There are a lot of opportunities for engineers, and there is a lot of money out there for any one willing to work hard for it.” Perserverance is the key to the math game. Students who found they could solve their problems in high school are sure to be successful In college. Geometric problems can be confusing for many stu- dents. By working diligently Kurt Wimberger hopes to complete his class work. 64 All Around School WELL ROUNDED YEAR Fairly Collegiate Students from all over New York and Long Island flocked to the Nassau Veterans Memo- rial Coliseum in Clniondale to take advantage of the great opportunity presented by the Col- lege Fair. The opportunity was provided for many prospective college students to observe the availability of colleges that interested them. College information available included ad- mission requirements, lists of majors, tuition costs, dormitory costs, and many other as- pects of college life. Almost 400 colleges were represented at the Coliseum; all of which were located in the United States with only one exception. Al- most every state was represented. The Colise- um was packed with people. The economic problems of today along with rising tuition costs and lack of student loans were very obvious because of the crowds which formed around the tables repre- sented by state universities and community colleges of New York. Many private institutions received little attention because of their expense and loca tion. The College Fair was an important event because it enabled people to pick up pam- phlets, asl$ college representatives questions pertaining to their various needs, and it showed the students a wide variety of oppor- tunities available after high school. The College Fair provides students with a great oppor- tunity to collect college information. Diana Hibbard lis- tens attentively to a college representative's ideas. It’s 2:05 on Friday and it’s time for a test, a test. As every student caught in the building after school on a Friday knows, the fire alarms are about to be tested. Mr. Mackin’s voice resounds over the loudspeaker. “We are testing the fire alarm system. Ignore the bells. Ignore the bells. The message is repeated and the bells sound and it is impossible to ignore them. The bells have to be tested, I realize, said Danny Wasp, sophomore. Too bad they don’t change the day, or vary the announce- ment once in a while. As the bells echo it’s good to know that the school is protected and that the bells that we ignore today will be ready if we should ever need them. Fire! Fire! Mr. Mackin's voice booms over the loudspeaker. As she listens. Brenda Fasbinder's face breaks into a smile. All Around School 65 The Alternate School is decorated according to the student's tastes. Kelly Stevens helps to liven up the wall by painting in a sketch of an animal. Students are encouraged to work on their own to complete assignments. John Mauffucci tries to get a head start on an assignment. One to one attention is given to students whenever possible. Karen Lund gives Renee Giuffreda extra help with an English assignment. Fridays, the Alternate School publication, challenges Jodi Newman and Richard Dodson. How can he have two right hands? they ask each other. 66 Alternate School Deciding to enter the Alternate School is not an easy decision to make. Students who have chosen it have found it to be a great place. At the Alternate School they can work hard and at the same time have time for Friendship AMILY AND UN The Alternate School provides an opportunity for students to work for themselves. The students who chose it did so for many reasons. School was so academic. The teachers didn’t show any feelings towards us. Here at the Alternate School the teachers are so friendly and caring. Most importantly they take an interest in your life outside school. It’s great, said Marie Bland, junior. Greg Lucarelli, senior, was more concerned with the responsibility that the Alternate School provides. I think it’s a good opportunity to expand and to do things in my own way. It really lets you focus on yourself. You really learn responsibility here.” The problems that the Alternate School had were very few. It’s hard to get people to participate in fund raisers and after school activities, said Carmine Ratto, senior. Creating enthusiasm among all the students was another problem, but one that was confined to only a few of the many Alternate School students. Some students believed others took advantage of the system rather than benefiting from the system’s advantages. I think this is the best way to learn, said Patty Stamos, senior. It’s great to be able to be on a first name basis with your teachers. You really get to know them, she added. The atmosphere of the Alternate School promotes closeness be- tween the students and teachers. The rooms reflect the personalities of the students that use them. I love having a place to hang out, said Greg Lucarelli. The students within the Alternate School have a wider freedom when it comes to selecting their own schedules. Flexibility is a very important factor in the Alternate School because it involves the stu- dent more directly in his own education. I think that the way we run classes here makes you more likely to do your work, said Kelly Stevens, junior. Here, if you don’t do an assignment, you’re hurting a friend, not just a teacher . The majority of the students in the Alternate School believe that they have gained a lot by joining. They feel that they have become part of a family in which they learn to work independently and achieve responsibility for their own education. The Alternate School raises money to support itself. Marie Bland buys a Halloween pumpkin to help finance a square dance. All teachers like to relax and have fun. Rosemarie Reichhold talks with friends as she grades papers. Alternate School 67 Not All Students Are Motivated In Their Academic Life. They Look For Something Special To Keep School Interesting. For Most Students School Is Made Worth While By Guiding Light Summer School There are advantages. They may be hard to see at 8:00 on a hot August morning but summer school is not all bad. When I went to summer school last year. I didn’t really like the hours, but it turned out O.K. because I got a 98% on my algebra regents” said Terri Lankford, junior. For those who go by choice, summer school may actually be enjoyable. I was glad to go; I got my driver’s license because of it,” said Angela Maniscalco, senior. When a per- son hasn’t failed, he goes to summer school with a different frame of mind. Summer school is good in that it helps you to pass an important class, but bad in that you might have tried harder in the first place if you didn't have a second chance. remarked Jo- anna Marino, junior. I saw all the kids getting out of their classes when I took driver’s ed. Thank God it wasn’t me, added Kurt Wim- berger, senior. Although most people don’t like to admit it, summer school can be advantageous to those who treat it right. Eileen Connelly summed it up by saying, It’s good in that a person doesn’t have to repeat an entire year for fail- ing one class and graduate a year late. But some kids take advantage of the system and go every year.” Health class can be taken over the summer. The early morning classes will be over before noon, but for Nora Langdon and Denise Acquaviva that seems a long time 68 Extra Attention Many schedules had to be changed at the start of the school year. Miss Cooke helps Thomas Vasguez review his schedule in order to make necessary changes. Have a problem? Need advice? How about a schedule change? The guidance office is the place for students to go when trouble strikes. Counselors spend their days busily working to keep their students’ lives running smoothly. Senior class counselors are busy trying to obtain applications from their college-bound students. Haven’t had an application from you yet!” remarked Helen Cooke, guidance counselor, to one of her students. The coun- selors work hard to keep track of all their responsibilities. Mr. Paul Harabidian has taken over as an 11th grade counselor. I’m glad to be back in guidance, stated Mr. Harabidian. It’s good to work closely with the kids. Ninth graders are working with their coun- selors to make up schedules for their later years. Tina Bowe, freshman, said, I really like this school, there are so many classes I never thought about. Tina plans to speak to her counselor to find out which classes are best for her. The guidance office is a place to go when you need help. The secretaries and counsel- ors work together to help the students with their problems. Many students find the counselors can help even with problems that are not scholastical- ly oriented. Gigi Figueroa, junior, felt that her coun- selor helped her a great deal. Mrs. Campbell helped me with emotional and personal prob- lems. She helped me deal with people, and with school itself.” Having a place to go with a problem is often a comforting thought to have in the back of one’s mind. When students need advice or help with problems, it’s important for them to know that there is someone right in school that will talk with them. There are students who do not take full advantage of the services that the guidance counselors can provide. Many don’t feel com- fortable talking with their counselors; others have other people to talk with. When I have a problem, I go to my mother. It’s easier to talk to her, said Kim Sherman, freshman. I get help with my scheduling, said Kevin Graves, senior. I don't really need help with anything else. Whether or not the counselors become a source of help for personal and emotional problems or only for academic ones, it’s good to know that they can be counted on for advice when the need arises. ALL THE EXTRAS Do I Have To? P.E. Fashion A variety of costumes can be seen any day if a trip to the girls' gym is made. Sneakers, socks, and pleated skirts are one girl's ward- robe while a nearby student is wearing an Adidas sweat suit. I dress for myself, not because of a gym class.” stated Regina Perez, junior. If I want to wear a skirt I’ll wear it, even if it is a gym day, she continued. Arch- ery classes are given the largest room for creativity. The only dress code is to wear sneakers. In regular gym classes, which stay inside, many varieties of shorts can be seen. Concert T shirts, Ziggy, Smurf, and Mickey Mouse shirts, sweaters, and even blouses are worn. On a good day, a person might even be found wearing the traditional white shirt and The Americas Love Run slogan on Veronica D'Ange- lis' shirt shows one of her interests. Miss Karnes sees a lot of variety in clothes as she teaches her archery class. green shorts of junior high school days. That however is rare. In boys’ gym classes the variety of clothes is less pronounced. Usually the most interest- ing clothing is the protective gear worn by students during sports like hockey. Goalies especially can be found wearing knee pads and face masks. Between both girls’ and boys’ classes, the clothes can be very infor- mal, and very interesting to watch. Every student has asked himself the same question at least once in his life. What do I need to know this for? Who cares what the atomic mass of cobalt is? How do I solve a quadratic formula? After finishing school how many times will we need to know the equa- tion of a hyperbola? Students have to remember that without algebra and geometry, precalculus and calcu- lus become impossible. What exactly is the use of calculus after all? It’s all very confus- ing. Are there certain courses that should be taught in school that aren't? Kevin Loughran, senior, seems to think so, “Basic economics should be mandatory; there are some people in this school who don't even know how to count their change.” They could add some specialties. For ex- ample someone who wants to go into medi- cine should have a course geared more to medicine, commented Paul Sheridan, senior. But if you think about it, this school really has something for everyone. But the question still remains, what do we need with certain courses? There is no easy answer. Students are forced to look at the problem from another direction. Too much knowledge never hurt anyone, at least not the knowledge this school supplies. The students’ ultimate goals in education can only be reached by hard work and by adding one insignifigant fact to another to build up to an important idea. There must be a standard of exellence or it would be very difficult to give a large number of people a good education. The next time a student is asked to remember a seemingly insignificant fact, it would pay to learn it. No one knows when a little known fact will be- come very useful. All of Mr. Gryzlo's chemistry lessons are important. The students he teaches sometimes have trouble seeing the uses of the facts he gives them. Extra Attention 69 School Work Keeps Many Students Busy Who Want More Than Schoolwork In But For Some It Is Not Enough. Students Their Lives Try To Be As . . . Working Tools Many teachers use different tools to help in their work. Mr. James Mahood, biology teach- er, uses an overhead projector as part of his daily routine. “I like to use the projector be cause it's easier for me as well as the stu- dents.” A tape recorder is important to Mr. John Conroy's A.P. Social Studies class. He enjoys playing classical music for the class as a background for the course's work. I’ve al- ways enjoyed music and I like to share it with my students, stated Mr. Conroy. Sra. Perez also uses a tape recorder occasionally. I tape the kids speaking to one another so they can hear what they sound like. It helps them, said La Sefiora. Teachers use the audio • visual materials to enhance their classes. I like to try to speak Spanish into the microphone, said Diana Hib- bard, senior. It was hard, but it was fun. The extras that teachers use to help them in class can often make class more interesting. By adding materials to the regular class session that are somewhat irregular teachers can help the students get more out of the lesson. Students who might be bored with routine can often be perked up by some- thing new or different in a classroom situa- tion. Maps are an important part of many social studies classes. Mr McKean indicates a part of India to his students to clarify a point. Everything’s O.K. at F.H.S. At least until test time comes around. H.S. students can be found studying for a battery of tests. I’m taking 4 A.P.’s, said David Yuen, senior. There are also C.L.E.P. courses. S.A.T. prep classes, not to mention the much loved P.S.A.T., A.C.T., and A.C.H. tests. After a student has survived all the pre- college exams, he can begin applying to col- lege. Students can begin filing the F.A.F. after January 1, 1983,” stated Leonard Mar- ino, chairman of the guidance department. They can pick up these forms, and the appli- cations for S.CJ.N.Y. colleges, continued Mr. Marino. Initials are an important part of all stu- dents’ lives. B.O.C.E.S. students and V.L.C. members alike are familiar with initials. G.L.C., S.A.C., S.A.G.. and the F.B.L.A. are clubs with meaningful monograms for all. Students shouldn’t be dismayed if they can’t translate all the initials that confront them. If all else fails, they can make up their own club name, test or college. 70 Ready For Action By practicing daily at home when time al- lows. students can better prepare themselves for the next day of class. Working with music at home is really the equivalent of homework in any other class. Just as students couldn’t hope to do well in a math class without doing the homework, a student can’t succeed in a band class without practicing the music at home. Practice takes dedication, but if a student puts hard work into practice the results will be quite remarkable. Initially Stated The S.A.T. is one of the most feared tests of all. High school students use many books to cram for this exam. Practice Session Practice makes perfect or so a student who gives up one period per week to practice either band or chorus would hope. At these rotations the students have an extra chance to enhance their skills. Dan Riha, senior, is a member of the band. “I like band rotation, but it’s hard for me to get out of class. Eileen Connelly, junior, be- lieves. Rotation is really a necessary part of the music program because without it, the chorus wouldn't sound as good as it does. Mr. Brad DeMilo, band director, strongly supports the band's rotations. I think it gives me a chance to work more closely with the students. It does a lot of good. Band rotations give Mr. DeMilo a chance to work more closely with his band members. Susan Kolnik and An- gela Maniscalco work to perfect their flute skills ACTIVE AS POSSIBLE There is no rest in store for Sal Garguilo. He must go home and finish his homework now that he has finished swimming practice. They’re the heroes of the school, our ath- letes. Other students take pride in them; they love them whether they win or lose. Many people do not realize the effort and long hours that go into perfecting athletic skills. Sal Gar- guilo, senior, is a member of our swim team. After practice I'm so tired all I want to do is go home and eat. After I eat, I go to sleep. It’s hard to even think of homework. On top of that, I have a job, so I’m kept really busy. After running for 3 hours after school it’s hard to work up enthusiasm for homework, said Jimmy Schmitt, senior, and track team member. Andrew Donovan, senior, believes It's hard to finish football practice when it’s dark out and you have to stagger to work. Lacrosse team member John Hayden, sen- ior, said, The team works really hard to be as good as we are. We put a lot into it and then we have to go home and really work. But it’s worth it when you’re as good as we are. Senior Serena Carter feels that she loses a lot of time that could be spent studying or doing homework when she is practicing. The problem is getting home late from practice, and even later when there's a game. I don’t always have the energy to do the work. Diane Ferrante, senior, agrees, When you come home later, you are more tired and there is a burden of knowing that you have to do school work. Sometimes you just don’t feel like doing it because you are too tired. The work it takes to belong to a team is often complicated by the work involved in keeping up grades. Students who try to be come involved often find themselves left with very little free time. Senior Andrew DeTroia said, The problem with doing homework after practice is that you have to get it done faster so you can have time to relax. Students who do participate in sports while attempting to keep up with school have a difficult task to do, but often find it very rewarding. Charted Course No one could possibly remember all the facts that go with today’s science classes. There is hope for students who fit into this catagory. Their relief comes in the form of the scientific charts. Chemistry classes are supplied with a copy of the periodic table of the elements. Endless important, yet hard to recall facts, are stored on this sheet. I know that I would never remember all the formulas and the elements that are written on the sheets they give us for the regents, said George Vargas, junior. These sheets are supplied for physics classes as well as some math classes. Students find them a great help in studying for tests as well as on the regents. The fact that the charts exist help take pressure off the students. Reference charts provide a student with something to fall back on. With them, if a student can’t recall a formula he doesn’t have to panic; he has the ability to stop and look up the information that escapes him. The reference charts are a source of infor- mation that both math and science students can depend on. Chemistry charts can seem very complex to those who haven't taken the course. George Vargas smiles as he looks over the chart. Ready For Action 71 The bell rings to end third period, fifth period, or seventh period. Actually, it doesn’t matter what period is ending because it’s the start of someone’s FREE PERIOD Hanging out outside is a pastime that is easier to enjoy in nice weather. Groups often gather behind the pool during free periods. Free periods are a great time to catch up on studying or extra work. Nancy Niemczyk reads the Times Book Review before class. A break in the day is something anticipated by all. Many students follow a pattern by doing the same thing day after day. ”1 have a rule, said Randy Schell, senior, ‘Til sit around and socialize, but I’ll do absolutely no work.” Victor Chang senior, had another view. I do homework, I guess. It’s a good time to get it done. Carmine Ratto, senior, is always willing to go out for lunch. Car- mine takes us to McDonald s all the time, said Amy Wasp, junior. He’s really nice about it. I have eighth period free and I go to work, said Tom Tempia, senior. I can get there a little early. Students who have eighth period free have an alternative to hanging out in school • they can go home. Because I have seventh and eighth period free I go home and work on my hobbies, said Sharon Brown, senior. It’s my only time for them. Free periods provide a great opportunity for students whether they’re interested in eating, sleeping, working or simply going home. As a break in the day, they have come to be greatly appreciated. 72 Free Time One of the benefits of a free period is having time for yourself. Carla Orlando catches up on some reading while she can. McDonald's provides a welcome change from cafeteria food. Kevin Graves and Carmine Ratto anticipate a lunch of Big Macs and fries. Free Time 73 Well,... you see, here’s my term paper on Tennessee Williams. Um...

Being a member of certain clubs re- quires a student to put In more hours after 2:00 pm than in a six-hour class day. There Is no pay, no praise, and lots of pressure.

Cheerleaders are known for pom poms and saddle shoes, while A.V.A works with the audiovisual aides such as film projectors, and. of course, the Animal Room is associated with small creatures, like Herbert Bunny. sometimes having to make the difficult choice between work and the club.

Sud- denly the sound of instruments breaks through the silence as the Marching Band parades onto the field followed by the Flag Team and the Dalerettes. The crowd stood for the Nation- al Anthem and a resounding cheer rose as the football game got un- der way. The band left the field while the Cheerleaders jumped into a cheer to get the crowd as well as the football team fired up. The Varsity Cheerleaders led the crowd in cheering the Dalers to victory at both the home and away games. It gives us a sense of school spirit, cheering the foot- ball team,” stated senior, Ellen Berkowitz, member of the Varsity Cheerleaders. Throughout the season the Ju- nior Class sold soda, candy, hot- dogs, and when the weather got cold, hot chocolate, during the games. While the officers were feeding the fans’ appetites the Cheerleaders and Pep Band were feeding their enthusiasm. The Cheerleaders gave their support with new routines including spec- tacular pyramids. The Pep Band led by Mike Oxman, senior did their own thing in the stands. Cheers of M-E-A-T and D-A-L E-R S psyched up the crowd. A drum roll leading up to a burst of sound at the moment of the kickoff ad- ded greatly to the excitement. After each touchdown the school song was played and between quarters the jazz melody Swin- gin' Shepard Blues could be heard from the stands. With five minutes left in the first half, the Dalers football team worried about another score and the Marching Band, Flag Team, and Dalerettes lined up to prepare for the half time show. This group, the largest ever in Farmingdale Support And Spirit 77 THE FIELD CONT' 120 members in the band alone, was given a superior rating at the Newsday Festival for their out- standing original performance and formations.

The effect could be seen in the crowd- ed stands as people applauded and also brought along some en- ELEVEN DALERS STRUGGLED TO GET A TOUCHDOWN WHILE OVER 200 PEOPLE SUPPORTED THEM THROUGH THEIR SERVICES. couraging signs. The spectators always enjoyed the half time shows, but how did the performers feel? Drum major- ette, Jill Citrano, junior, felt, My job is to make sure they’re having a good time. If they enjoy their performance it makes the crowd like it better. The members en- joyed performing during the games even if they had to give up a few Saturdays. The only thing that bothered me about playing during the fall season was the last game when it was cold. It's hard to play with frozen fingers, com- mented David Kramer, junior. Mike Oxman, felt, We put the effort into it because we want to look good out on the field and bring spirit into the crowd. After the band sounded out number two of Macarena and Sophisticated Ladies , the Daler- ettes ran onto the field for their routine. Senior Lisa Pagnatta ex- pressed what many girls believe, It’s really exciting because every- one from school sees you perform- ing. Their precision and accura- cy brought excitement to the half time show as did the newest addi- tion, the Flag Team. The team, which was established this year, performed the flag routines to the music. In years past the flags were included in the Dalerette line. Be- cause of the new team, the Daler- ettes were able to concentrate on their kicking rountines. The team was coached by Maureen Corbett, class of 1982, and former Daler- ette Captain. I absolutely love it, even though it gets tiring some- times since I demand a lot from the girls, said Maureen. The girls were very enthusiastic about the flag line. It’s a great team but I wish it would last longer than foot- ball season, voiced Christine Jones, freshman. Many hard working teams and groups added to the success of the tradition of the Farmingdale football games. Without the Cheerleaders , Marching Band, Da lerettes, and Flag Team bringing the team spirit to a culmination the games would have lost much of their attraction. These students did not merely participate out of necessity, as senior Paula Gudiece declared. It gave us a sense of pride knowing that we were part of a winning team. 78 Support And Spirit The cheerleaders lead the crowd In cheers at home and away games.

However, this is just one of the various organizations which also audition and induct students into their clubs and then proceed to enrich their high school lives. The Leaders Clubs consisted of junior and senior individuals who devoted their time and effort for their school, student body and community. To join the club a fe- male student must have main- tained an 85 average, have had a varsity or 2 junior varsity letters, and have been approved by exist- ing club officers. A male member must also have had a varsity letter and have been approved by the existing members, but a high eval- uation from a teacher was also re quired for admission. The re- quirements are tough and so are the duties, but it’s all worth it , explained James Schmitt, senior. In order to become a Cheer- leader, a girl must endure a vigor- ous tryout. The Junior Varsity candidates practiced for several days before the tension subsided and the chosen were announced. The Varsity Squad had no tryouts, since they were all chosen from the previous junior team. Elise Gannon, senior, summed up the tryout experience, It entailed many hard hours of practice and strong dedication, but while we were doing it we had a fantastic time The Playcrafters held tryouts which were based on singing and acting talents. Auditions were a nervewracking experience for many who stood alone and prayed they would hit the notes, but it was all worth it when they eyed their names among the lucky ac- tors and actresses who starred in this year’s production. The light burned bright with a flame that endured just like the memories of our experiences from induction and tryouts to all the fun found within the organiza- tions.

The student Activities Council was the backbone of all the clubs. They worked out club problems, going as far as the administration to set IN A SCHOOL WITH OVER 2,800 STUDENTS MUCH HELP IS NEEDED TO KEEP THINGS RUN- NING SMOOTHLY. tie some of them, and coordinated the fund drives. The intellectually prestigious Honor Society helped the school greatly this year. Students who needed extra help were tutored by the members. The librarians also benefited. Members went to the library to shelve books, file cata- log cards or do whatever needed to be done. Although some didn’t like the work; others such as Nick Barone, senior, felt, I don’t mind doing library work becasue the li- brarians are friendly and are con- stantly telling jokes. The science field was covered by the Lab Squad and Science Club. The Lab Squad worked hard taking care of the science equip- ment for the school and helped the science teachers with their pa- perwork. Working with the equipment gives us experience and practice, said David Yuen. The dedicated members of the Science Club took care of the ani- mal room. They volunteered their time to feed and care for the ani- mals. During the vacations the guinea pigs, mice, and rabbits found warm happy homes. The Audio S Visual Aids Club performed important functions for the school. They brought the the- ater to the classroom. Special events were available for replay thanks to these students. Team members, known as the Goon Squad, spent their free periods tracing down projectors, bringing them to classes and repairing them when needed. AVA treasur- er, Paul Michalik, junior, said, Things ran smoothly this year. Projectors came in and went out on time. We were more organized and it resulted in a better working organization than last year. An off shoot of this club is called the Livewires”. These dedicated stu- dents volunteered their afternoons and many Saturdays working on lighting for the plays. These organizations labored and their efforts stood out in many ways. They continued, through hard times, to strive for better and more perfect service to their fel- low students.

Where did all the costumes, scenery, special ef- fects, lighting, and music come from? Forgotten by many are those who created an aura that appealed to the audience's senses and gave rise to their emotions. These rare- ly seen people roamed the darkest regions under and behind the stage late after school each day. Finally after weeks of hammering, painting, and of dissonant music, sets that resembled the town of Anitevka seemed to become part of the stage and something that could be distinguished as the score and of the play was heard.

BIG BUSINESS Money makes the world go round.” So said a sage. Every organization seems to need mon- ey. and selling various items has become a popular way to make the money clubs need. Thus suc- cessful selling can help an orga nization greatly and the pro- ducts. people, time and location are all important factors. Each organization expects some sort of service from its members; in some clubs, dues are also col- lected. But the work does not go unrewarded; most clubs have a party at the end of the year. Some organizations raised their money for community ser- vice. The Honor Society and Varsity Leaders Club both adopt ed families for Christmas and Thanksgiving. The Honor Soci- ety raised their money through bake sales. The Varsity Leaders Club sold pretzels and supplied the carnations and soda for the homecoming. The boys don’t WHEN NO MONEY IS IN THE ACCOUNT, MANY CLUBS RESORT TO MARKETING. BUT WHERE DOES THE DOUGH COME EROM BESIDES THE BAKESALE? mind the work; as Rob Hert, ju- nior. put it. It makes you feel good to know you're helping oth er people.' The Girls Leaders Club con- centrated on selling candy to finance their activities. Candy is easy to sell,” ex- plained senior Melita Frouxides. ‘ and I had no diffuculty collect- ing the money Members of the Future Business Leaders of America had to pay for their own trip to the High School Business Competition at the Concord Ho- tel. Thus there were ample incen tive for them to reduce the cost by selling candy and merchan dise from kits, and running bake sales and a car wash. The schools publications (Muse Media and The Paper Lion) received money from the Board of Education. They sup- plemented these funds in many ways. The most obvious of these was selling ads to local busin- esses, but Helen Krebs, a junior on the Muse Media staff said.' Selling ads is boring and hard.'' So they also resorted to other methods. The Paper Lion owns the soda machine. Muse Me- dia sold pretzels. They also made a lot of money from their boosters. ‘We sell a lot to grand- mothers, confided junior Scott Marino. The Hi-Life publication had to raise all its own money to produce an award winning year book. The staff sold carnations at Valentine’s Day. pictures in the spring, and boosters. The Playcrafters sold enough tickets and ads to cover con struction of sets, costumes, make up, lighting and special ef fects. The members were en- couraged to sell tickets. Jeanine Ingrassia, star of Fiddler on the Roof explained how she sold tickets. I worked very hard selling tickets this year, and even went door to door. I hope no one thought I was too pushy. But I really wanted a big audi- ence. This is the lesson all the clubs learned: they could get whatever they wanted, if they worked for it. Finance 87 FRIENDLY COMPETITION The thrill of competition is one known to many in our high school. Most of our clubs and organiza- tions compete in their league for WHEN A COMPETITIVE FEELING COMES OVER SOME PEOPLE THEY WILL STOP AT NOTHING TO WIN. BUT IS THERE AN- OTHER TYPE OF COMPE- TITION? honors and awards in exciting and challenging events. Over all. our clubs and groups always seem to finish well and keep their fine reputation for hard work and fine performance. Of our fine groups, the one that attended the most prestigious and widely covered competition was the Marching Band Ensemble. This included the Marching Band, Flag Team, and Dalerettes. They attended the Twentieth Annual Newsday Marching Band Festival, held on October 20. It was at Hof- stra's huge stadium, where six- teen other schools presented their groups for a spectacular showing. Each group, in turn, performed their halftime show. Each school demonstrated energy and excite- ment as they waited and watched until their turn. “The loyalty and spirit that each group had for their school was incredible, but still each team was really nice to the others, said Sandra Mardenfeld, a clarinetist. The hard work and long hours that the teams put in paid off when Farmingdale was given a Superior rating from the judges. The evening was a total success. The bus ride back was great, and I think we did a super job, said Dina Koukos, a Daler ette. Performers and spectators enjoyed the evening thoroughly, and next year's Festival is looked forward to by all the underclass men and will be missed by the seniors. With hours of hard work behind them the Dalerettes got ready to take the floor. This was just an exhibition but in order to get to the competitions they first had to per form at Commack. As Captain, Penny Pantelis, senior, explained, If we place in any of three com- petitions then we can go on to the championships. Along with per- forming at football games, at Christmas time, and at the Hard- scrabble Fair, this was a very im- portant part of their year. The Future Business Leaders of America competed for experience not just awards. This type of competition took place at the Concord Hotel after the Easter va cation, where they developed skills needed in the business world. As senior Lou Spina stat- ed. It's the kids of today that participate in clubs that make up the leaders of tomorrow. People learned the skills of working, teamwork, awareness, learning, morals, good attitudes and partici- pation. Since competition is a major part of the free enterprise system the FBLA members com- peted for individual as well as team honors. Through competition these or- ganizations learned what chal- lenge really meant. Their team spirit deepened and their overall effort showed in their perfor- mance. It takes mai pong hours of prance to achieve a aatning exhibition. .JKen the er at the Newsday Festival they produce a breathtaking spectacle i 88 Competition FBLA: Advised by Mr.Herbert Yengel Front Row: Jeanie Leung.

Competition 89 CREATING AN IMAGE Since many students like to be more creative than their normal classes allow, they join some of the school’s clubs dedicated to creativity. One of these was Muse Me- dia. the school’s literary and artis- tic magazine, edited by Jennifer Morris, senior. In the past Muse Media has been seen as a small, elite group. But this year the mag- azine worked hard at changing its image. In the fall it ran fiction and photogrpahy contests to encour- age students to contribute materi- al. It featured non-fiction articles of general interest to stimulate readership. This campaign sue- A PERSON WHO IS CRE- ATIVE CAN COMPOSE A WORK OE ART THAT WILL CAPTIVATE AUDI- ENCES FOREVER. ceeded in interesting and involv- ing many people. As the poetry editor Nancy Niemcyzk said, I was surprised. Many people I nev- er thought of as writers submitted good poems. Choosing the best was difficult.” To improve communication be- tween editors and staff. Muse Media started its own homeroom. It began in September with three members, but grew steadily. By the end of the year it had truly become a “home room to many students—a place to catch up on sleep on the couch, listen to the stereo, or frantically finish typing a term paper. One thing members of Muse Media learn is that creativity re- quires money. This year, led by business editor Kevin Guilfoyle, ju- nior, Muse Media raised the most money it had in several years. This allowed the magazine to experiment with more colors, fancier printing and more intricate layouts, and to give full scope to the imaginations of the editors. The Student Art Gallery, or SAG, was a club for art students who found their regular art classes too limiting. It allowed students to work after school on independent projects. Some people just like to fingerpaint, explained Victor Chang, senior, a member for three years. We’re all very close. The SAG gave these art students the freedom and encouragement they needed to experiment. The Madrigal Singers, a small, select group, offered its members the same challenge. They per- formed more difficult music than the chorus, and did it without musical accompaniment. The Madrigals dressed in medieval clothing and specialized in medi- eval music. They performed fre- quently this year, including once for the Farmingdale Bethpage Historical Society. They are scheduled to perform at the New York State Renaissance Fair dur- ing the summer of 1983. Jill Niemczyk, senior, president of the Madrigals, was very enthu- siastic about the group. She said, We had many new members this year, and improved our balance. We expanded our repertoire (to in- clude such songs as P.D.Q. Bach's Oh Little Town of Hacken- sack.) With the encouragement of Mrs. Allison, it was an enjoyable and successful year.” Knowing how to type is an essential part of putting out a magazine. With many arti- cles going in. Howard Granat works to complete them. Perspective and depth are intregal parts of art. Architectual drawing is one of Jenni- fer Morris’ attributes.

The clubs of Farmingdale High School differed from one another in every aspect except one— each and ev- ery organization had problems. One of the most common prob- lems was the attendance of the NOT ANOTHER MEET- ING, THERE WAS ONE LAST WEEK. WHERE IS IT ANYWAY? members. A good percentage of would-be club members dropped out soon after the group began to meet. As a result, plans had to be changed to fit the size of the group. Competition for favorite meet- ing places was often intense. This was demonstrated by the furious rivalry between the Flag Team and Dalerettes, both of whom used the Commons as a practice area. Individual members had their own problems too. The chief rea- son for difficulty between the stu- dents was caused by personality conflicts. Dalerette Donna Has- ley. freshman, commented. One of the hardest parts about being a Dalerette is getting along with the other girls.” Because of this un- easiness and the clashing temper aments cooperation was occasion- ally hard to obtain. One of the most overlooked difficulties was that of the dead- line. The Paper Lion and Hi-Life staffs were the groups most af- fected by them, as everything had to be finished by a certain time. Jackie Marks, freshman, contribu- tor to the paper, remarked, Dead- lines are not bad if everyone knows what they’re doing, but there are a few people who leave everything to the last minute.” Many times on deadline days, Hi- Life editors and assistants were found working at nine or ten p.m. in order to complete the work that was due. Not only did the students have troubles in their clubs, but many teacher advisors to the various organizations did, too. Since Farm- ingdale teachers had been work- ing without a contract, fewer of them stayed after school to help their students. Without the advi- sors to guide the clubs, a few groups, such as the Math League and Theater Club, were abolished this year. Despite all of these troubles and handicaps the students overcame the problems of their clubs to be- come well recognized for their high standards and excellent achievements.

Giv- ing is much better than receiving was this year's moto. This year all these clubs adopt- ed a family for Thanksgiving. They went to the Health Office and got names of needy families. Honor Society was involved in many other projects which were community oriented. The March- of-Dimes Walk-a-Thon and the Special Field Olympics were par- ticipated in by members of the Honor Society. Other clubs had members participating but it was not mandatory. One thing the Honor Society did exclusively was their Headstart program at Christmas time. A group of pre school children were given a Christmas party with San- ta Claus as a surprise to brighten these energetic youngsters' day. The most important service that any club did was the annual blood drive, sponsored by the Hon- or Society. This year the drive was essential. New York State was at an all time low on blood, and with the Christmas season approach- ing needed to build its reserve. Many students gave their time and blood to help in a very worth- while endeavor. Interact donated money to the Cancer and Heart Funds helping to pay for new research. They also visited the Daleview Nursing Home. A project that they have been doing for 25 years is to spon- sor an exchange student. Community service is for giving but not for getting. Sophmore, Jarrod Bagatell, stated. Our com- munity's great, but we'll make it better. Food for a needy family is just one of the many things clubs do to help the commu- nity. Serena Carter, Dawn Nolan, and Den- ise Hughes help to sort out all the products the Honor Society members brought in. 94 Helping The Community Due to an acute shortage of blood this year, many donors volunteered to help this community by giving blood.

Who, then, keeps students posted on what's going on in Farmingdale High School? With all the various activities, clubs and meetings that take place at the same time, there THE NEW YORK TIMES WILL TELL YOU OF WORLD EVENTS, BUT WHAT ABOUT THE MICROCOSM OF FHS? must be an efficient means of pre- venting chaos among participat- ing students. In FHS there are two major information oriented medi- ums: The Paper Lion, and the Stu- dent Activities Council morning announcements. The Paper Lion was available to all students interested in being updated on school news. Informa- tion was gathered by the staff members, as well as outside sources. Ideas were sparked by any and all events taking place in and around the school. The paper covered all aspects of the school and community including sports, politics, social events and enter- tainment. The publication was not censored as it was the students’ responsibility to put it together as they saw best; however, they must stay within the limits of the constitution. (They were given a list of guidelines by the school board, which was basically within the ideas of the first Amendment) The issue of censorship was brought to question with the distri- bution of last year’s April Fool’s issue. Although students found it enjoyable and amusing the admin- istration felt otherwise. They went as far as to propose to take the Paper Lion's money away. (Though most of the funding comes from the Coke machine, the school board does put in a large amount). The editors argued that it was an illegal proposal- a form of censorship. As a result the money was returned. The student news publication continued to put forth an outstanding, informative view of the events in the wide world of FHS. Each morning, students sat restlessly in homeroom, the events of the day were broadcast for all to hear. This was the most effective method of reaching all Farming- dale High School inhabitants: un- less unnaturally prevented, all stu- dents heard the announcements. Listening involved all those who were interested in going to the right meeting, or making dead- lines on applications and the like. The announcements always be- gan with a heartfelt recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance (led by Ms. Dorothy Vining). Next came teachers' announcements, which were followed, at last, by student announcements. These were gath- ered and presented by the officers of the Student Activities Council. These six pleasant individuals sometimes brightened the early announcements with a personal touch. Although their giggles pro- duced groans from students— they did have an effective means of waking everyone up. Announcements for all after school activities had to be handed in before homeroom. This simple procedure prevented confusion on the part of the officers, who had to approve all announcements. Throughout the day, students could check to see any announce- ment they might have missed, as they were always posted outside the S.A.C. office. To further their role as infor- mants, S.A.C. officers held meet- ings of the General Assembly with representatives from every school organization. At these meetings, ideas were exchanged, and issues were discussed. Any students in- terested in what was happening around them, were welcone to par- ticipate, and perhaps even contri- bute their own ideas. Such meet- ings have led to the development and success of our Homecoming activities and Fund raisers. Although the Dalerette meeting won’t be announced on the 11:00 news, students still have their ways of learning about such events. MARCHING BAND: Advised by Mr. Brad DeMilo Front Row: Maria Mingione.

Awards are given to many students from many differ- ent clubs. The FFT through the Paper Lion gives out two mone- tary awards to seniors at gradu- ation. The yearbook also gives out an award. Many clubs give awards but the most sought after and honored is not a monetary award, but the chance to perform in one of three music perfor- mances. In music classes, competition is sharper than in many other classes. Students who participate THE LONG HOURS OF WORK PAY OFF WHEN A STUDENT IS HONORED BY AN AWARD. in band, orchestra and chorus compete for placement in county, state and regional groups. Known as All-County, All-State and All-Eastern, these competi- tions were held in early Novem- ber. In order to compete, a student must meet certain requirements. Decisions on entrants' applica- tions were made partially on the basis of scores in the New York State School Music Association competition. Said Willie Reece, ju- nior, NYSSMA is very important One of the highest honors a New York high school musician can achieve to be chosen as an All-State participant. Shanni BEST because if you do well it can open up a lot of opportunities like en- trance to the All-County competi- tions. The other deciding factor in competing is trying out. The audi- tion is important and can be very scary. I was very nervous, but you have to try to stay calm be- cause sweaty palms can be disas- trous for a flute player , said Shar- on Dolson, senior. The most difficult of the three, All-Eastern, selected Mary McA- teer to join them this year in Bos- ton. All Eastern meets every other year in a different city. Competition also plays a role in more academic organizations. The National Honor Society award is given to 250 students in the Unit- ed States. Schools submit names of outstanding students who have excelled in academics, service, character, and leadership during their high school years. This year Miss Caroline Caccavallo, Honor Society adviser, and Mr. Douglas Begeal submitted the names of Mary McAteer and Vicki Sperling. The students who achieved the recognition through All State or All Eastern or the students that received a club award all received something special. Achieving an honor makes all the hard work that goes into it worthwhile. Reine diligently practices for her upcoming All State Orchestra performance. Awards 99 HOLIDAY HARMONY The week before Christmas is always a hurried one for students. Studying must be done for tests that teachers hurry to get in be- fore vacation, creating a conflict between homework and last-min- ute Christmas shopping, and of course, planning for innumerable holiday parties. But in spite of THE ANNUAL WINTER CONCERT, SIGN THAT THE HOLIDAY SEASON IS APPROACHING, FILLED THE AUDITORIUM WITH A JOYOUS NOISE these things, many students make time to bring the holiday spirit to school. This year's winter concert took place on the Monday before Christmas. Backstage there were shouts of, “I lost my bassoon. Help! , Where is my music? and Someone stole my stand. I’m going to kill him! but for two hours one group after another ar- rived smoothly on stage to per- form. All of the school’s musical groups, the Jazz Lab, Concert Band, Madrigal Singers, Sym- phonic Band, Orchestra, and Cho- rus performed involving a couple of hundred students. All types of music were represented at the concert. The orchestra and the symphonic band concentrated on classical music such as the finale to Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony. The Jazz Lab performed more popular music such as the themes from Arthur and New York, New York. The chorus and or- chestra also performed traditional holiday music. The Madrigal Singers provided their usual comic touch with two Christmas carols by P.D.Q. Bach. They surprised the audience by accompanying Good King Kong Looked Out on kazoos. They dedi- cated the other. Throw the Yule Log on Uncle John to Mr. McLen- nan. Not all the events at the concert were musically inspired. Outside several teachers handed out litera- ture on the contract situation. And in the lobby members of the or- chestra sold candy. As a finale, the orchestra and chorus joined forces to perform the Hallelujah Chorus from Han- del's Messiah. Mr. Brad Demilo, Miss Stacey Radin, and Mr. Igor Hudadoff, chairman of the music department, as well as several alumni, were drafted to sing along. The general consensus was that the concert was a success. I think we all played very well, said Maureen Leyes, the orches- tra's concert mistress, I was hap- py- Tuesday, the Girls Leaders Club made its contribution to the fes- tivities by selling red and white carnations. These flowers fes- tooned the hair of many girls for the rest of the day. Wednesday was the big day-the last school day before vacation. Although in class parties were pro- hibited, several clubs had refresh- ments, and little work was done. Students were given the treat of dismissal after sixth period with the option of attending the school festivities. In the auditorium, the orchestra played holiday music. This drew an audience for about twenty people. The Jazz Lab’s concert in the Commons proved to be more pop- ular. As Robert Grey, junior, en- thused, Here is some real mu- sic. They performed several pop- ular pieces. After the official con- cert was over several of the school s musical alumni jammed with some of the musicians. This drew a crowd of several hundred students. By a few minutes after two o’clock the school was deserted, as it would remain for the next week and a half. After all the bus- tle and noise of the last few days, the building was silent. A recent trend has been the revival of Everyone tries to get into the holiday spir- medieval times and music. The Madrigal it during Christmas time.

GLC member Liz Flynn sells some flowers to Debbie Lohnau which gives both students a chance to feel the giving spirit of Christmas. The stage can be very lonely when you're performing in front of a large audience. Ralph Porpora, Tony Anzalone and William Reece give each other moral support and enjoy their winter performance. Christmas A good adviser has to devote a great deal of time to his club. Despite spending much of his time at his desk as Head of Guid- ance. Mr Leonard Marino finds time to be the adviser of both Interact and Key Club. At least once a day a movie projector, filmstrip projector, or record player breaks down. Mr. Mike Cannett. adviser of AVA, is always busy repairing equipment and making sure teachers get the equip- ment they request 102 Advisers MORE THAN A BABYSITTER Clubs and organizations without advisers are like trees without roots! The advisers are vital for the functioning of the club. Even though they're behind the scenes their support and guidelines are what keep clubs running smooth- ly. Through thick and thin these hardy souls were willing to devote much of their extra time and pa- tience to the students. BEING AN ADVISER TAKES MORE THAN JUST BEING THERE; IT TAKES A SPECIAL TYPE OF DEDICATION Miss Caroline Caccavallo was adviser to the Honor Society and she organized the activities of the club while acting as a foundation. The students developed and ex- panded the club from her efforts. It's a tough job to motivate the members into performing the re- quired services of the Honor Soci- ety, but I think I did my best at encouraging them, said Miss Cac- cavallo. The Headstart Party which was, in the past, organized and run by the Honor Society was this year helped by the Key Club because Mr. Marino was not in- volved in the contract dispute. The party was still attended and run by the Honor Society mem- bers. Miss Caccavallo confided, “I wish I could have organized it bet- ter, but it went well anyway.” Not all advisers operate in the same manner. Ken Glric preferred to coach the Playcrafters' team rather than organize and establish it. Extra long hours after school during play practice season proved his devotion. The contract dispute deterred many teachers from helping students after school hours but Mr. Glric didn’t con- sciously let it affect his work. Subconsciously I think the prob- lem bothered all of us but I tried not to let it show in my directing, said Mr. Glric. After the fall pro- duction the students who grew so close during practice formed a so- cial group and made plans for the spring show that some of them participated in. These productions were both successful due to the good feelings between Mr. Glric and the students and their ability to work together. Adding to the spark of energy to keep the members of Muse and Media and Hi-Life jumping was Mr. Little's method of advising them. Working with kids and see- ing the results , Mr. Robert Little feels, is what I enjoy most about helping out. Even with the con- tract disputes Mr. Little tackled double trouble by working as a literary advisor for both Muse and Media and Hi-Life this year. The two jobs were similar and he bene- fited both clubs. Some clubs, such as the The- ater Club and the Future Secre- taries of America, died away this year due to a shortage of advisers. Maureen Corbett, a 1982 gra- duate, came back to help advise the newly formed flag team. At one point contract negotiations were going so poorly that a rumor started to spread about stopping all after school activities. Fortu- nately. a contract was ratified be- fore this came about. The meet- ings continued uninterrupted and the advisers finished the year with a better feeling about their advi- sership. Even with these difficulties many teachers gave of their time to help the many clubs survive. The helping hand given by the ad- visers was well appreciated by the clubs and also by the student body which benefited all around. Many clubs arc fortunate enough to have their own homeroom where they can orga- nize themselves. Mr. Bob Little, adviser to Muse Media, proofreads copy between the Pledge of Allegiance and taking atten dance.

The reminders are helpful for me in planning my day, commented Janet Cast, senior. There was a large variety of clubs to choose from this year and an even larger list of reasons why one would join them. The most important of these was because it is enjoyable. Students such as Mary-Ellen Reichel, senior, found that, It is easier to make time for things I like doing, such as being involved in school organizations. It doesn’t seem like such a sacrifice because it is fun. Some clubs were organized for a purely social purpose. One of these was the Ski Club, advised by Mr. Frank Silvestri. Our only reason for existence is to arrange ski trips. Anyone can go on them, whether or not they are members, as long as they want to ski and have fun, explained Mauro Di- Benedetto, senior. Of course, there were many clubs in which a member could have fun, while doing something constructive. The Computer Club made it possible for students to pursue their hobby, while expand- ing and sharing their computer knowledge. Other organizations, although dedicated to service, still found that it was possible to have fun while doing good for the communi- ty. I saw Key Club as a chance to help out those not as fortunate as myself, while at the same time meeting new people and strength- ening old friendships, comment- ed Melita Frouxides, senior. No matter what the reason for joining a club originally was, it can very easily become the highlight of a student's school experience. Without my extra-curricular ac- tivities, school would be dull and lifeless. It gives me something more exciting to do, junior Sheri Barlow confided.

It’s not easy to top a championship season.

The Combined Game Plans Of Two Separate Personalities Lead The Team To Improve Their Skills And Have A Successful Season THE FORCE ON THE MATS Varsity Wrestling Coach, Irv Apgar, returned to coaching at Farmingdale this season after a one year coaching leave. During his absence John Papayani stepped in to fill the void and led the team to an encouraging 6-7 record. This season, with Coach Apgar back and Coach Papayani assisting him, the team amassed sev- en victories against only five losses. It was interesting for the team to play under two coaches in such a short time span, and the styles of the men could be easily contrasted. Junior Chris McSIoy said, Coach Papayani stresses the physical training of the wrestler while Coach Apgar puts an emphasis on drill- ing moves until they become spontaneous. Though their tactics differed, the main objec- tive of the coaches for the season was to make this year’s team capable to do its best. The team was a very balanced one, with strong performances in the lighter weight classes from Chris McSIoy, Brian Dietrich, and Steven Connolly and in the heavier weight classes from Andres Gomez, Jerry O’Sullivan, and Mike Travis. These wrestlers, as well as the remainder of the team, wrestled with heart throughout the year and made the matches extremely close. Three of the five losses were by only two points, and the other two were by respectable scores. Andres Gomez, senior, commented, This year’s team was very strong but still lacked some experience. It should improve next season when more seniors will start. A valid reason for the improvement of the team this year are the grueling practices and workouts which are held five days a week for two-and-one-half hours per day. They consisted of learning new moves, one-on-one competi- tion, running, and working on the weight ma- chine. The practices are hard, but the work pays off in our performance during the match- es, said McSIoy. Coach Apgar summed up the year’s effort when he stated, Wrestling is a wonderful sport; what you put into it is what you get out. It’s a total individual effort. Wrestling is not one of the more glamorous sports. A wrestler must assume positions they normally would not wish to. but the thrill of winning seems to overshadow the dowdy part of the sport 108 Boys’ Varsity Wrestling Front Row: Dennis O'Rourke.

Unfortunately, it didn't turn out that way for the Boys’ Gymnastics team. The team’s 3-3 record, while not on the impressive side, came as a surprise to both the gymnasts and the coach. Considering the obstacles that we met, the record meant a lot more to us , commented Phil Varca, senior and co-cap- tain. As in any activity, there can be no payoff without the input. The team’s input lasted until 5:00 every day. What we lacked in talent, we made up for with hard work, remarked Rich Santamaria, sophomore. Injuries greatly plagued the team during the season. Tom Schmitt, two time competi- tor in the state meet while still only a sopho- more, had injuries that hampered his play and the rest of the team's performance. There were two very close meets and if Tom had been able to compete, we would have won them,” explained co-captain, Mike Sawicki. Coach Jim Hraba was very supportive and helpful to the new gymnasts. This was mainly a developing year for the boys. With the exception of Tom Schmitt, Mike Sawicki, and Phil Varca, the team was with- out any experience, said Coach Hraba. At the county meet the team faced some difficulties. Tom was limited to one event because of injuries and Mike Sawicki had an unfortunate slip on the high bars. Bad breaks really killed us in the counties, de- clared Brian Dietrich, junior. Against Locust Valley, Tom scored 42.00, the best all-around score in Nassau County this year. Coach Hraba stated, He is the best gymnast I’ve ever coached. Tom feels that although the Olympics are still in the distance, he is giving his all to the longed for dream. As the boys’ season came to a close, the girls’ had just begun. Their season was a bit more fruitful than the boys’. I consider this the absolutely best team as a whole I’ve coached, stated Coach Hraba. The team ended the season with a perfect record of 7-0 and won the Nassau County Champion- ships. The hard work really paid off in the long run, exclaimed Nancy Licursi, fresh- man. With all the work and effort put in and the victorious outcomes, the team was disap- pointed with the lack of school support. The lack of support was disheartening, regretted Cara Josanne, senior and co-cap- tain. The most difficult meet of the season was that against Great Neck North, who was undefeated. It was a difficult meet because we weren’t at home and the equipment was poor, explained Kelly Molloy, senior and co-captain. The meet ended with the Dalers winning by a slim 1.6 advantage. The talent on both teams makes the Olympics not far from reach.

Boys’ Girls’ Varsity Gymnastics 111 Despite A Young Team And Hard Times The Farmingdale Swim Teams Were Not All Washed Up TAKING THE PLUNGE Situated in an out-of-the-way region, far be- hind the gym, where few ever dare venture, is a world in which dedication and exhaustion go hand in hand. To ordinary mortals it is known as the pool; to the swimmers it is known as home. Among the sports in our school, swimming was one where only the elite received the recognition they deserved. Practicing three hours a day, six days a week, and giving up all vacations, swimmers persevered through the cold and the pain. The 1982-83 swim sea- son as always, was a good one, and as Coach Bill Annis explained. “We were a young team this year, but we still had a winning season. The fact was that the team had dwindled. Because of this, more seventh and eighth graders were on the team than ever before. Captain Mike Hartman, senior, said. I didn’t like the idea of having such young people on the team, but they became a strong asset. Thank God! “The team started out strong, but we had an attitude problem, admitted Cappy John Tournour, senior. The team started out by winning second place in the relay carnival, and followed through with a great season. A great deal of help came from the diving cap- tain, Chris Cash. He’s an edge we've never had before. replied Rich McGuirk, Senior. The Girls’ Swim Team also had an awe- some season this year. A good reason for the success of the team was the second year coach. Ms. Joan Butler, Kris Bush, sopho- more, complimented the coach by explaining, She was a great help because she was will- ing to learn as well as teach. The attitude of the girls was very impor- tant, said junior, Terry Waring. The girls earned third place in the relay carnival and second in the counties. Captains Carol Sher- man and Lisa Strubal, were really happy with the season. Hopefully the hard times are now over for the teams,” stated Dawn Darcy, senior. This building season for both the girls and boys should result in teams able to maintain the Farmingdale standard. m 1983 Boys’ Varsity Swim Team (8-4) FHS Opponent 87 27 Uniondale 52 75 Plainview 55.-71 Great Neck South 88 35 Hempstead 80 44 Syosset 77 48 Manhasset 66 61 Bellmore Merrick 38 88 Long Beach 65 61 Great Neck North 78 46 Cold Spring Harbor 01 00 Garden City 58 91 Bethpage Front Row: Chris llchuk, Pat McGuirk.

The windup gives the initial direction and force to the pitch. Vinny Mazzaro strikes out three consecutive bat ters in the 5-2 win over Bethpage STARTING OVER The Varsity Baseball team finished the sea son with the best record they have had in re- cent years. The 17-9 Dalers wound up in sec ond place which was good enough to make it into the playoffs for the second straight year. Farmingdale opened the season at Mac- Arthur. The game was a pitching duel which ended three runs to two in favor of MacArthur. The Dalers bounced back from that discourag- ing loss by putting together a massive seven game- winning streak in which they outscored their opponents by a ratio of 2-1. The Dalers then hit a mid-season slump which coach Angelo DiFrancisco attributes to a lack of hitting especially in key situations. The team again displayed the resilience they had showed all season long by winning seven of their last eleven games. Entering the playoffs, Farmingdale planned on relying on the sure arm of veteran pitcher Greg Wildes and the Daler batting. The first game was a 6-4 victory over Mepham and the Dalers were then propelled into the second round of playoffs, versus Levittown Memorial. Farmingdale played hard and furiously but came up on the short end of a 6-3 game. Throughout the season the team constantly matured and grew in skill. The 1982 Spring Baseball team may have begun their season with a lack of strength created by the gradu- ation of nine veteran players, but within a very short time, their determination helped them start over and become a promising team. Fielding is the backbone of the defense. Gary Reuter catches a grounder for the third out of the 5th inning against Long Beach. Boys' Varsity Baseball 115 When Almost The Entire Girls’ Softball Team Graduates, What Else Can Be Expected But . . . UPS AND DOWNS Catcher Serena Carter warms up with pitcher Patti Klein. A combination of good signals and pitches led the Dalers to a £0 shutout victory over (Jniondale. Having only three team members with var- sity experience, the 1982 Girls’ Varsity Soft- ball Team was prepared for many long hours of practice and hard work. Karen Borrosso, junior, felt, We started the season good but we lacked the experience needed. Although they did not improve last year’s record, the girls finished respectably 10-10. Coach Karnes said, The girls all tried hard. They did well considering very few played last year.” Veteran players such as Co-Captain Patti Klein, senior, led the team. Patti had a .377 batting average and had the most RBI’s (24), doubles, triples, and was the only player nev- er to strike out. Karen Borrosso also led the team by scoring 26 runs. Newcomer, Nancy Lavery, although she did not have experience, did possess the second best quality—skill. Nancy, junior, stole nine bases and had a .322 batting average. The bunt is an effective way of reaching base. Nancy Lavery improves her over '300' average but is stranded on first base. The Dalers creamed Massapequa anyway 15-2. Everyone contributed their all with some playing well over one hundred innings. Linda Guercio, class of 1982, felt, “This year was valuable in that the newcomers gained the experience and skills needed for future teams.” Many of the games proved close, especially the 3-4 loss to Baldwin. In the ninth inning Nancy Lavery received one of her thirteen bases on balls but could not score the winning run. Six games proved fairly close, as the Dalers lost by four runs or less. If they had had that little extra boost, their season could have soared. Through all the ups and downs, one thing was learned, teamwork. That team- work will remain locked in the memories of those players to return to the team next year. This time only to be added to experience, skill, and wins.

The signals called by quarterback Mike Ihm led to a successful 15 yard pass to Jerry O’Sullivan. The Dalers later scored their third touchdown against the Chiefs. 118 Boys’Varsity Football Good Football Is.- Hard Work, Perseverance, Good Observation, And Lots Of Time! —Mike Freshour, Co-Captain In the middle of August with the sun shining bright and hot, forty-two Daler Varsity Football players began training for their 1982 season. These devoted team members practiced for long hours with the hope of bringing fame back to Farmingdale. The first game of the season against Port Washington was forfeited giving the Dalers an easy 1-0 victory. Spirits began to rise as the eyes of all Farmingdale watched the Dalers win their first game of the season 41-8 against Qniondale. “This year there were many good athletes on the team. We planned to have a winning season,” stated Mike Erickson, senior. The Dalers proved they could do little wrong as they defeated their next two opponents: Bal- dwin and Hickvsille, by scores of 38-6 and 16-0 respectively. In the shutout of Hicksville, Co- Captain Mike Freshour, senior, carried the ball 23 times. He felt, A major part of the shutout was the expert blocking by seniors Andre Go- mez, Mike Travis, Ed Theal, and junior Paul Zarodkiewicz. On October 24th, before stands filled with spectators, the long awaited game had finally arrived. As Cablevision taped the game for a later telecast, the Dalers, scoring three touchdowns on their first four posses- sions in the second half, defeated their long- time rivals Massapequa 38-0. Everyone was up for the game because our rivalry had grown. commented Mike Carbonaro, senior. “After the game everyone was proud of thier success and we were noticed. continued on page 120 The joyous celebration of a touchdown by Glenn Keith (42) and Carl Curriera (64) leaves the Massapequa defen- seman devastated.

Retain your composure! Don't make mis- takes! Play hard and the breaks will go your way!!, advised Coach Don Snyder. Giving their all. the Dalers scored in the third quarter to cut the deficit to Syosset-8, Farming- dale-6. Then, in the final quarter, the Dalers again scored, capturing the lead and the victo- ry, 12-8. By this time the Dalers were a shoe-in for the playoffs. The final scheduled game against Oceanside proved to be a tune-up for post- season play as the Dalers' 40-0 victory brought them to finishing the season as Confer- ence IA champions. Farmingdale had a week off to prepare for the big playoff game against Lawrence, the Conference IB champions. As the game time approached, the Daler fans crowded into the stands at the neutral playing field of Hofstra University. There was tension in the air. and the players felt the pressure of the importance of the game. Early Farmingdale turnovers kept the Dalers’ defense on their toes and eventually led to a Daler touchdown, but the team failed to score on the two point conversion, so Farming- dale took a 6-0 lead. Lawrence didn't give in, and was able to rally for a touchdown late in the game and hit on the extra point to take a 7- 6 lead. Farmingdale was not able to put togeth- er another scoring drive and was eliminated from the playoffs. The Dalers finished out the 1982 season with a 8-1 record and had many players receiving post-season honors. Michael Ihm, Michael Fre- shour and Glenn Keith were elected to the All- County Football Team. Andre Gomez and Mi- chael Carbonaro made All-Conference, and Rick VanWickler and Andy Donovan made All- Division with an Honorable Mention being awarded to Jerry O'Sullivan. Victory was in the air all season for the Daler Football Green Machine.

Boys’ Varsity Football 121 jr Although They Missed A First Place Finish In The Nassau League By One Goal, The Boys' Lacrosse Team Proved . . ALL YOU REALLY NEED IS HEART Five East Meadow guardsmen refused to allow Bruce Chanenchuk (17) and Jim Duswalt (3) to break a tied score. Although they gave a valiant effort. East Meadow gained control of the ball and won 7-4. A glance around the field shows Drew DeTroia that no team members are open. Drew takes the shot himself and scores in the 18-1 romp over Syosset. Starting out the season with six seniors and the memories of their second place finish a year before, the Boys’ Lacrosse Team had high expectations for continuing their winning tradi- tion. With sheer determination, the boys were able to start towards the top by winning their first twelve games. Coach Budd Krumenacker felt, They worked hard at all times. It was the key to their success. Everyone did their best and the work showed. East Meadow was the first team to stop the Dalers’ winning streak, by breaking a fourth quarter 4-4 tie and going on to win 7-4. The Dalers were able to come back and finish the season with an 18-3 record this time capturing first place in the Nassau League. The Lacrosse Team, beginning the playoffs in fourth place, defeated Elmont 13-8. Cold Spring Harbor was the next team to be defeated by the Dalers with the help of three first half goals by Rob D’A- quino, class of 1982. The Dalers then dominat- ed Levittown Memorial 8-5 and reached the Nassau County Playoff Final against Levittown Division. I never thought we’d go so far,” said Drew DeTroia, senior, I was happy that we had such a great season. The finals with Levittown would decide the number one Lacrosse team in Nassau County. This game proved to be the finale for the Boys’ Lacrosse team. With the Dalers and Division fighting to win, each quarter ended virtually in a tie. By half-time the Dalers were behind 8-6 after goals by seniors, John Campbell, Joe Rzempoluch, and Bruce Chanenchuk, and Rob D'Aquino, Class of 1982. Senior Rick Van- Wickler also scored twice. As the clock contin- ued to tick away, Jim Duswalt, senior, and Bruce Chanenchuk scored additional Daler goals: Division retaliated with two and the third quarter ended with the Dalers behind 10-8. The final quarter rapidly drew to a close as Steve Boyle, senior and Bruce Chanenchuk scored the ninth and tenth goals for the Dalers. Farmingdale had finally tied Levittown but it didn’t last long as Division scored once more for an 11-10 lead. Co-Captain John DeTom- maso, class of 1982, missed a last desperate shot as the clock ran out. Levittown had cap- tured first place with the Dalers in second. With the Dalers' outstanding season came recognition for their many talented players. John DeTom maso was named All-American de- fenseman. Bruce Chanenchuk was All-Confer- ence middle and Andy Donovan, senior, was All-Conference goalie. Jim Bovich, senior, was All-League middle and Rob D'Aquino was All- League attacker. Rick VanWickler recollected, The play-offs were great even though we didn't win. It was a thrill to compete. We couldn't have been any closer to number one. 122 Boys' Varsity Lacrosse.

A HAPPY ENDING When their season began the Boys' Varsity Soccer Team had many questions facing them. Would the loss of eight players to graduation effect the quality of their game? Would the Dalers live up to the success of the year before, and would they make it into the playoffs for a second successive year? In order to prepare for the season opener, practices were held each and every day. The workouts concentrated on speed, stamina, and physical strength. During the early part of the season, the Dalers played hard, but refused to function as a team and this resulted in the loss of four of their first six games. Throughout the first half of the season, the team, while struggling, gained much needed experience playing together and began a com- plete turn-around. The Dalers started knocking off their opponents one by one until they amassed a most impressive seven-game win- ning streak, finishing out the season with a 9-4 record, which was good enough to make the playoffs. During their winning streak, Farming- dale outscored their opponents 26-7. They had captured the respect of the entire league, as well as also answered many of their own ques- tions about themselves. Coach Dugan attributes the eventful ending to “the boys' sudden ability to play as a team, each player doing his job and doing it well. They came from a slump, but the varsity soc- cer team rose to triumph and had a happy ending .

Elyse DeMayo, senior, felt, The team did so well because everyone worked in their specialities.” The team practiced daily, concentrating on speed, endurance, height, and distance. I like Spring Track because it involves more than just running: hurdles, long jump, high jump, discus, and pole vault are all a part of Spring Track,” said Jim Schmitt, senior. The most valuable players were Kirk Lindo, class of 1982, and Denise King, senior, who possessed outstanding abilities in almost all of the events.

RUNNING THE DISTANCE Cross Country is a very different type of running, explained senior Laurie Feit. The race is 3.1 miles, over various types of terrain, not just a few laps around the track.” From warm September to cold November, dedi- cated athletes punish their bodies running against other teams at Eisenhower Park and Bethpage State Park. Asphalt surfaces are considered a luxury as the course includes grass, sand and. after heavy rains, huge mud puddles. Hills and potholes beset the runner as well as screaming coaches and teammates and elbowing competitors; not to mention the random evidences of a passing horse at Beth- page. The team ran in the heat, cold, and wet with only shirts, shorts, and sneakers for pro- tection. The weather, exertion, surfaces, and injuries combine to make running the tough- est non-contact sport. There must be benefits from this masoch- ism. I want all my runners to push each race to their limit and try to improve their times, stated Coach Parks. Co-Captain Chris Cash, senior, commented, “Even though the wor- kouts were tiring and painful, the race seemed easier and the results were well worth it. The training paid off, as was proven by the team’s attainment of the Division Cham- pionship, a feat not accomplished since 1972. Everyone contributed to our winning sea- son,” remarked junior Mark Agoglia, the team’s best runner. The girl’s team, led by Laurie Feit, also worked hard and ran well, despite the lack of members required to make a team. The team’s critical meets were successful- ly run against Massapequa and Syosset. They overcame Massapequa’s Al Peterson, a top 2- miler in Nassau County and a big threat. They would have lost to Syosset if one of Syosset’s runners had not missed the bus. The team also ran in St. Anthony's Track Invitationals at Sunken Meadow, the toughest course on the Island, notorious for its Suicide Hill. It was great seeing the team transform itself into a winner during the three years I ran with it, stated Co-Captain David Yuen, sen- ior. Senior Kevin Beatty added, Cross Coun- try helped prepare me for Winter and Spring Track. Running for Coach Parks was an enjoy- able experience. 128 Boys' Girls' Varsity Cross Country It takes self-discipline of the most extreme sort to push oneself to run alone.

Coach Walter Brem THE SKY’S THE LIMIT They Know What It Takes To Win As the snowflakes hit the ground, images of a cancelled practice came to mind. The halls were rapidly emptied of students anx- ious to enjoy the winter season. Everything appeared peaceful and serene until the barrier of silence was suddenly shattered by a thun- dering stampede of Nikes, Adidases and Pu- mas. It quickly ended as the Boys’ and Girls’ Track Teams flew down another corridor out of sight. No matter what the weather, whether run- ning the scenic path in the woods on a nice day or running past an endless file of lockers on cold ones. Winter Track members contin- ued to practice. We got more out of running upstairs because going up and down the stairs and gallivanting down the ramp pro- vided extra rigor to the workout,’’ explained Elyse DeMayo, senior, then added, We didn’t have to weave in and out of the basketball team practices. Coach Walter Brem stated, It's a very difficult sport to coach because of lack of facilities. This year the team kept track in the family, with seven pairs of brothers and sisters, and even a father and daughter. Catherine Bongo, junior, stated, Virginia and I give each other inspiration. Angelo Curcio and Anthony Cur- cio, on the other hand, felt competitive. We are about equal and when one of us doesn’t want to work, the other one keeps him go- ing,” replied Angelo Curcio. Coach Brem and Robin Brem, junior, comprised the father and daughter team I think it’s harder on Robin than me because while the rest of the team can avoid me, I can always talk to her at home,” admitted Coach Brem. Meets as always were held on the indoor track at the Aggie school. Running on that track is difficult because it is small. Everyone is cramped which lowers the times, regret- ted Mark Agoglia, junior. Mike Ross, senior, remarked, It’s psychologically difficult be- cause it’s ten times around to cover the same distance that’s usually only four times around. Although this season had more develop- mental meets, the regular meets were limited. Meets were few but the competition was great, replied Catherine Bongo. It was a tough year. We competed against hard schools we have never faced before and we had a young, inexperienced team this year, agreed Kevin Beatty, senior. Inexperience didn't discourage this team. We had a good core of runners who showed steady improvement, and upheld a healthy attitude and morale, commented Coach Bob Guarino. That determination lead both teams to place in the Conference meet on Saturday, February 5, 1983, at the Armory in New York City. The boys’ team placed fourth in their division. Another victory was the shattering of the school record in the mile race walk by Mike Ross, senior. With a time of 7:16, Mike placed third as all round walker. Another out- star ding Daler, Mark Agoglia. placed second in the Conference 1000 meter race. The girls’ team also proved successful by placing sixth in their division. Denise King, senior, deservingly earned fifth place in the 55 meter hurdles. Just a week before, Laurie Feit, senior, amazed everyone by completing the 1000 meters race in 3:02.7, which gained her sixth place in the United States among high school girls. Being such a young successful team makes their future bright. Farmingdale Track has proved that we can be a winner. We have the determination . . . dedication . . . belief in ourselves and belief in our capabili- ties . . . That's what it takes and the skies the limit! We re going for it! exclaimed Denise. 130 Boys' Girls’ Winter Track A successful result in the half mile depends on one's level of endurance.

Boys' Girls’ Winter Track 131 It Takes More Than Skill To Turn A Group Of Girls Into A Winning Team TOGETHER AGAIN During their season this year, the Girls' Varsity Basketball Team proved that they had the potential and the ability to be the best. They practiced as a team and played as a team, with confidence in themselves and each other. For nearly three hours each day. the talented ballplayers were found run- ning, jumping, dribbling and shooting in the gym with Coach Peter Cerrone guiding them all along. The team was made up of three seniors, one junior, and four sophomores. Each ath- lete had played the game with the others prior to this year. This enabled them to un- derstand one another, and perform as one, in the games throughout their winning season. The closeness between them paid off in the end. Their final record was 14 4. A T-shirt can say a lot. The word Coa- chable which was printed across two of the girls’ shirts shows the feelings Coach Cer- rone has of all of his girls. He taught them from Day One of try-outs in November, the 1983 Girls’ Varsity Basketball (14-4) FHS Opponent 49 37 Amityville 45 48 Marie Regina 49 19 Plainview 47 22 Sea ford 35 21 Syosset 42 39 Berner 52 28 Lawrence 58 28 Massapequa 52 39 Hicksville 38 26 Bellmore Kennedy 74 46 East Meadow 44 45 Bellmore Kennedy 47 42 Syosset 28 47 Berner 57 41 Lawrence 33 36 Massapequa 48 36 Hicksville 52 31 East Meadow skills necessary to succeed.

The work we re doing is a year’s worth of work, said Julie Purcell, senior. It was not a completely difficult time, however. The team, while they developed their competitive spirit, still had fun. Julie explained, You’re not as intense as in a game. In practice you can laugh at yourself. Coach Cerrone looks to years ahead with optimism. The sophomores that contributed this year, will be experienced leaders in the future. Although valuable players, Patricia Klein, Kathleen Keck, and Julie Purcell, sen- iors, will be lost, underclassmen of today should continue to keep the success of the Daler girls alive.

Height is very important for a basketball player. Kathy Keck uses it to her advantage when winning the opening tap against Massapequa A major factor in the success of the team is that the girls enjoy playing the game and that practices are not always regimented. Julie Purcell finds it easy to take a lighthearted approach to practicing her dribbling. 132 Girls’ Varsity Basketball There is more to a varsity sporting event than the fans will ever see. More often than not, the athletes provide the spectators with a display of skill and effort which makes the game or event exciting and enjoyable. Those of us who are not involved in sports often cite the challenges and hard work that preparing for a game must entail. We can only underestimate however. We haven't been through the tryouts, the last round cuts, the loneliness of playing a junior varsity game before a scant crowd, the hundreds of hours of toil and memorization, the coach's advice and criticism, the frustra- tions of losing, or the pain of injury. To understand a sports season, we must take a look at these moments which take place behind the scenes but are vital when the athlete takes the field. Sports Magazine 133 TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS To try out or not to try out, that was the question. Many students were faced with indecision as provocative announcements blared over the loud speaker. Attempting to obtain a position on a team took a lot of courage. It would not be easy to contend with rejection. However, acceptance meant a lot of time and energy would have to be devoted to the chosen sport. People had to decide for themselves whether the sacrifice necessary would be worth it if one only ended up warming the bench. I was afraid to try out, but I really wanted to play. Many of my friends were on the team, and they made me feel comfortable, commented Terry Langford, junior, a player on the girls’ volleyball team. The days of nervous anticipation finally drew to a close. The long awaited results were announced before the group of anxious students. There were faces shining with happiness as well as those drooping with disappointment. Worries about whom the coaches would choose caused some students to discard their hopes of success. Luckily, there were some who pursued their goals to the end. Athletic Director Don Snyder felt, If everyone tried out for the sport that interested them, anything could happen. Who knows what hidden talent a Farmingdale student could have? There was more to participating in a sport than just playing in front of a cheering crowd. Hours of practice were necessary to develop and polish skills. While other students zipped home after school, the On and off the field a coach’s advice is often sought after by athletes. Weeks before the winter season. Lisa Behrens seeks out Coach Parks to find out how she can prepare for the upcoming tryouts. After a long and tiring day at practice, athletes' thoughts turn to a nice cool shower and a hot meal. These rewards are running through the minds of Andrea Yannelli and Lisa Behrens as they wait for the bus to take them home. athletes had to stay for hours of practice. Their only rewards were tired muscles and a feeling of a job well done. Maureen O’Connor, junior, who plays both badminton and tennis, stated, I have to go to practice to improve myself. I also have a responsibility to the coach and the other team members to practice everyday. Even though the coaches supervise, yell at, and encourage athletes, the end result is up to the individual. Coach Jim Hraba allows his players freedom during practice. In gymnastics, the player must practice not only the routine but on concentration. If they don’t practice and then do badly in a meet, it’s their own fault. Why did a soccer player run across a wet and muddy field just to kick a ball at someone from his own team who’s blocking a net? Why did a cross-country runner go around and around the track? Dedica- tion! Dedication is what makes a team win. If every player devotes time and energy to their sport, the team can only benefit. I play gymnastics because I'm dedicated to the team. I practice because I want to, said Cara Josanne, senior. In the end most players agreed that their practicing paid off. Foot- ball captain, Mike Carbonaro, senior, remarked, Just like other sports, our team practiced a lot. We needed to improve ourselves before we could beat other schools. By the time of the game, we were ready to take the field and win! 134 Sports Magazine Practices And Tryouts In athletics it is important to have a One of the toughest jobs for a coach is to shoulder to lean on. Kirk Lindo provides decide which players to hold on to and one. in the most literal sense, for Phil Varca which to cut. Coach Hartraft is especially as Phil prepares for his track speciality, the adept at making these decisions; his exper- hurdles tise has created strong teams year after year. Sports Magazine Practices And Tryouts 135 A time out is a strategy sometimes used to slow down the pace of a game and to work over a set play. Coach Cerrone takes this opportunity to advise his team and turn them back on a winning course. A part of coaching is teaching the play- ers new ways of approaching the game. Coach Dugan skillfully demonstrates driving techniques. 136 Sports Magazine Coaching f INSTRUCTIONS PROVIDED FREE OF CHARGE From the first day a little boy picks up a bat and starts swinging it, and his dad goes over to show him the proper way to do it, he is being coached. The professional player will look back on those years of tiring practices and remember the coach who was always there to instruct, guide, and encourage. The job of a coach is a demanding one indeed, and it takes a special sort of person to handle it. He must be friend, confidant, adviser, and teacher, but most importantly he must be able to relate to kids on their own level. I went into teaching to be able to work with young people, and I’m coaching gymnastics for the same reason, stated Coach Jim Hraba. I enjoy seeing kids set a goal and go after it, and I love being a part of it all. Many kids in the sports program have come to feel closer to their coaches than to anyone. I know if I have a problem, especially if it is something that might affect my concentration and performance, I can go to Coach Rich Armour, and he'll help me put it all in perspective, explained Terry Lankford, junior. Participating in high school athletics is one of the best learning experiences a student can have. As a coach, I've become sort of a role model to all my kids, a responsibility I don't take lightly, commented Coach Walter Brem. More than someone to help train the body, it is the coach who trains the mind and most importantly the spirit of the athletes. More than a teacher, he must be a friend. Coaches are the dominant force on the sidelines. They are often looked to for guid- ance in a tight situation. Coach Karnes shares her knowledge of the game by giv- ing last minute instructions to one of her players. Opposing coaches are sometimes depict- ed as two generals on opposite sides of the battlefield. This is not always the case, as Coach DeFrancisco often shares his ex- periences and anecdotes with coaches of other teams I Sports Magazine Coaching 137 J. V.

Although varsity athletics is often held in higher esteem, the junior varsity teams gave all students a chance to compete in various sports. The main requirements were good sportsmanship and a desire to play. The games were important, however, with both sides playing to win. “There is just as much competition on the junior varsity team as there is on a varsity team, said Junior Varsity Baseball Coach Pete Cer rone. No matter what the level of play there will always be competi- tion. After all no one wants to lose.” Provided with an opportunity to develop initial skills, the junior varsity teams gave a student up to four years of experience. Junior Varsity Lacrosse player, Rob Schellhorn, junior, felt, Being on J. V. teams gave me a chance to play a few different sports, including lacrosse and football. It would be impossible for all of the junior varsity teams to have a totally successful season. Among the most powerful of this year’s teams were football, softball, and soccer. They showed their outstand- ing capabilities as football and softball were undefeated and the boys’ soccer team won ten out of their thirteen games. By playing on a junior varsity team, a student learned the important aspects of team work, fair play, and sportsmanship. Phil Beilis, junior, felt, Being on the junior varsity football team last year gave me a chance to develop skills and gain needed experience, and provided me with a spot on this year’s varsity team. Although the goal of some junior varsity players was to play their sport on the varsity level, most found their junior varsity team fulfill- ing in itself. A soccer player must depend on lighten- ing quick reflexes and fancx footwork to compete in the fast-paced game..

After a long day of boring lectures, tedious class work and receiving exorbitant quantities of homework many students couldn’t wait until that glorious bell sounded the end of the day. But there was a unique group of students for whom the bell held another meaning. It signaled the beginning of a draining workout of laps across the pool or around the track which was more exhausting than any six hour school day. At first, the workout sounded like an exciting challenge, but after weeks of tiresome repetition required to improve skills, one would frequently question Why am I doing this?!” The question became even more doubtful after hours of great devotion and exhausting practice produced only losses. After losing I feel we should have just tried harder. We can accept one defeat, but continuous defeats destroy any hope of renewed spirits, explained Rich Van Wickler, senior. Then there is always that perfect athlete who could swim, run, catch or hit anyone and seem to do it without much effort while the rest of the team struggles through.

Farmingdale players are no ex- ception to the rule; we served and accept- ed our share of the punishment. watching someone better is an incentive to try harder and improve,” said Michele Petraitis, junior. And what about all those injuries? An injury can make you feel bad because you watch the other players on the field doing the things you were able to do, regretted Mike Carbonaro, senior. Mike Ihm, senior, also commented, After you come off from an injury, you try to work hard to get back into the starting line up. In the end, it’s worth the risk of playing as long as you give 100%.” After these hardships and discouragements, is it really worth it? Helen Gibbons, senior, exclaimed, After weeks of monotonous prac- tices, the enthusiasm is lacking and you wonder if it is really ‘worth it,’ but after seeing your own personal improvement at a meet, you feel as thought you’ve accomplished something and you regain that energy to strive for more. The burning desire to reach and accomplish goals, whether a per- sonal or team effort, makes even the most arduous labors really worth it! 140 Sports Magazine Devotion To meet the demands of a big meet, run- The approval of the judges makes it all ners are at times imposed upon to corn- worthwhile.

East Meadow's guard effectively blocks Pete McKeveny's shot beginning the cycle again. A SEASON OF CHALLENGES Hard work and the determination to live up lot. It’s always a good experience to play to the expectations of fans and coaches were characteristics of the different players on the Varsity Basketball team this year. Basketball brought many different players together for different reasons. I like the game, and I like the work you have to put into it. It’s been my favorite sport since I was little. said Artie Costic, senior. Victor Snell, senior, a fellow team member has also liked basketball for many years but for him it serves a different purpose. He said, I love basketball because it helps me relax. A simple reason for loving a complex game. Living up to the record of the 1981-82 sea- son was not an easy accomplishment for this year's team. Although Greg Wildes is now attending Harvard on a basketball scholar ship, his outstanding records and playing abilities remained with the team, encouraging them to do the best job they could. With the supervision of Coach Carl Savalli the team was successful in playing a winning season, but the players’ memories include games that were not won by Farmingdale as well. My favorite game was the Ward Melville game, said Michael Wildes, junior. They were a highly rated team and we played a very respectable game against them. In spite of the fact that we lost, I think we learned a 1982-83 Boys’ Varsity Basketball (H-9) FHS Opponent 63 65 Freeport 64 82 Ward Melville 80 35 Locust Valley 64 61 Glen Cove 46 42 Bellmore Kennedy 63 50 Syosset 71-57 Berner 61 65 Lawerence 52 43 Massapequa 51 • 54 Hicksville 68 59 East Meadow 55 66 Bellmore Kennedy 56 • 59 Syosset 44 38 Berner 40 52 Sachem 52 39 Massapequa 52 53 Hicksville 30 29 East Meadow 57-31 Wantagh 57 45 Port Washington 49 51 (Jniondale against a tough team. The Varsity Basketball team this year was a very ambitious one. The players anticipated winning, and believed strongly in their own capabilities. We re really looking to win the league championship. said co-captain Mike Ihm, senior. It’s also really important thay we make it to the counties, he continued. This year our team’s biggest rival was Hicksville. I’m looking foward to playing against Hicksville again,” said Mike Wildes. When we played them at the beginning of the season, we lost, and now our records are the same. We play them on T.V. this time and I know we all really want to win. Some players enjoy certain games for other reasons. My favorite game was against Glen Cove. We played them in the Locust Valley Tournament and that series was really excit- ing for us, commented Victor Snell. As a result of the Locust Valley Christmas Tournament, Pete Pugliese, senior, was named Most Valuable Player. Newsday made reference to the team by writing the team has depth, quickness, and a winning tradition . Newsday as well as the coach, players, and fans believed in the Farm- ingdale tradition and the team proved to be a disappointment to no one. Front Row: Danny Harris, Joseph Lopez.

These players practiced for many long hours at the Bethpage State Park before, during, and after their season. Al- though they did not improve on last year's record, many of the players gained valuable experience. Coach Jim Dugan felt, “The ex- perience a team gains is not justly shown in its win-loss record. This year's team worked hard and their determination will pay off in the long run. Co-Captains. Mark Garry, class of 1982, and Peter Flynn, class of 1982. have participated in golf for many years. This year they both made All-Conference with Peter be- ing given the Most Valuable Player Award. Although the Dalers lost their first match of the season, they were able to come back and win eight—four of which were 9 0 shutouts. Glenn Buono. senior said, I was on the golf team for two years and learned the impor- tance of hard work. Experience is also a very important factor to the golf player. We worked hard throughout the season. The team was proud of their victories. 1982 Boys’ Varsity Golf (8-5) FHS Opponent 2 7 Hicksville 7 2 Massa pequa 5.5 35 Lindenhurst 9 0 East Meadow 2 7 Syosset 7 2 Berner 0 9 Hicksville 9 0 East Meadow 2 7 Massa pequa 7 2 Berner 9 0 Bellmore Kennedy 9 0 Bellmore Kennedy 2 7 Syosset Boys' Varsity Golf 145 A SMASHING PERFORMANCE The smash is the most important shot in Badminton. Demise Hughes practices with her partner Mary Anne Villardi before winning their match against Oceanside 15- 12. 13-15. 15-10. A somewhat underrated girls' varsity badminton team knew it was now or never to prove they belong on the courts Twenty-one team members paced the four courts as the Baldwin players wandered about the building trying to discover the where- abouts of the first girls’ badminton match of the sesaon. While Coach Rich Armour was away on his honeymoon, the badminton team won their first two matches. Coach Armour felt, I wanted to be there for the match, but I had confidence in my girls. They had exper- ience, they practiced hard and they were de- termined to win.” Practices were held every day until 4:30 and included suicides, smashes, and drop shots. One could often hear Co-Captain Christy Williams, class of 1982, instructing the girls, All right everyone start stretching, right, left, . . . Throughout the season the girls kept constant control of the courts win- ning their first seventeen matches. Sue Gruber, class of 1982, said, “Every win for the team brought a boost in spirit. The best wins are shutouts because then everyone goes home a winner.” The Dalers enjoyed shutting out their opppnents twelve times. As the season drew to a close, the final game was against the tough Mepham team, just one win behind the Dalers in the league. The team knew a win meant a first place finish in the league— a loss meant a tie-break- er game where anything could happen. Team morale and hopes grew as the long bus ride to Mepham began. Coach Armour reassured the girls “The whole year rests on this game. All year long you’ve been saying you’re number one . . . Now prove it.” The match dragged on as many fingernails were shortened. The match, and essentially the season, came down to second doubles partners, Denise Hughes, senior, and Mary Anne Villardi, class of 1982, who had to break a three-three tie Some fifty spectators hushed as evey shot brought the game closer to an end. Luck was with Mepham as they were able to win the game (15-13) and the match 4- 3. The badminton team now had to play a tie- breaker with Mepham. Seeming to be a repeti- tion of the previous match, Cathy Owens, class of 1982, and Christy had to break a three-three tie. This time the Dalers won the match, finishing the season with an 8-1 re- cord, and capturing first place in their league. The Dalers did play in the Conference Play- offs, to be defeated by Roslyn 7-0, and Man- hasset 5-2. Spirits were not dampened be- cause seven of the twelve regular players were able to go on and compete in the individ- ual finals. Donna O’Leary, senior, felt, The Girls’ Varsity Badminton Team made it to the Conferences because of their cooperation and determination along with true spirit. All of us would agree that the epitome of determina- tion was third singles newcomer Maureen O’Connor. Maureen’s technique proved one doesn’t necessarily have to be strong in order to win. Maureen, junior, was the only player to remain undefeated having an 18-0 record. She, along with Christy, Cathy, Sue, Co-Cap- tain Norma Rugen, Denise, and MaryAnne competed in the individuals. I worked all year hoping to make it to the Conferences. I was really glad but next year I hope to make it to the county finals. said Denise. Farmingdale is a name that the badminton teams throughout the county will remember. The girls have proved they belong on the courts that can rightly be called theirs . Observation is the key to success. Christy Williams and Cathy Owens wait patiently for their Oceanside match to begin. They helped the Dalers win the match 5-2. 146 Girls’ Varsity Badminton By using a side-arm technique. Maureen O'Connor is a formidable opponent. She is able to hit, not only with power, but with accuracy. To return a shot hit by her Oceanside opponent Norma Rugen fades back to the boundary line. Although she lost the match. Norma did end the season with a 15-3 personal record. To prepare for an exhibition game, newcomer Trisha Owens warms up with team member Kim Muzzillo. The experience they gain from playing as sophomores leaves them two years to become successful badminton players. Front Row: Patricia Owens. Norma Rugen Co !ap tain. Christy Williams. Co-Captain.

With sheer determination. Maureen O’Connor slices her backhand for a game winning point. Maureen's win gave the team a shutout victory over MacArthur 7-0. No longer can the tennis team be associat- ed with a losing cause. The Boys’ Tennis Team, though only winning half of their matches, greatly improved on last year's re- cord, displaying guts and the will to win: two of the most vital ingerdients for a winning team. Finishing the season with a 6-6 record, the Dalers were tied with Lynbrook for third place in the league. The boys showed that they could stay in the match against any opponent. When playing Massapequa, the top team in the league, they lost twice but both times by a score of 4-3. Coach Stephen Bitel comment- ed, 'All of our losses were so close that with only a few of the breaks going our way, we could have come out on top many times. Practice leads to victory. said Coach Bitel. The fore- hand lob. practiced diligently by Michael Maione. helped him develop the necessary technique to win matches. The Boys' Tennis Team was propelled by George Ward, junior, and John Carman, class of 1982, who both made it to the Con- ferences with John receiving the Most Valu- able Player Award. Tennis in Farmingdale is not limited to the males as the Girls' Tennis Team worked equally as hard to improve themselves. This year, the girls had a 9-4-1 season record. Cindy Malinauskas, sophomore felt the rea- son that the girls improved so much from last year was because, Everyone was more serious about playing well. This year the girls were coached by Bob McKean. Al- though this was his first year as coach of the Girls’ Tennis Team, Donna O’Leary, senior, felt, He gave us a new outlook. Coach McKean spent more time with us giving us more individual attention. He was able to show us how to improve our games and we started winning. The success of the girls was basically attributed to the new atmo- sphere around the courts. Christine Malin- auskas, junior, said, We had no pressure because we knew we were doing better this year than any other.” The future of tennis in Farmingdale is one of confidence. With the improvement of both the boys and girls, and the increase in experience, the tennis team can possibly reach their goal— to be number one. Front Row: Andrea Eiseman. Chris Jordan.

Although they did not reach the play- offs, the girls were proud of their record, Caro- lyn Marzigliano, senior, said, We really im- proved over last year, we were determined to ‘look good!'

Newcomer Terri Lankford junior, felt, I never played on a team before but I was glad I did this year. I felt at home on the court.” Both the Girls’ Soccer and Volleyball teams were proud of their season, whether they are proud because of there victories, or their sense of belonging to something worthwhi- le—the Dalers. 150 Girls' Varsity Volley ball Soccer Good ball control is the secret to expert soccer playing.

Girls’ Varsity Volleyball Soccer 151 Over 2,5000 students, as well as about 300 faculty, administrators and support personnel enter this school each day, each with a different purpose In mind. Although each is an Individual, there are things that make us similar. Among the teachers there was a great amount of unity. They were, as their tee-shirts stated, Proud to be a teacher,” and although “even In Farmlngdale,” was added, It was ap- parent that It was the School Board and the system they were upset with and not the school itself. As In any school, there was a certain amount of envy and competition between the grades. And each of us, at one time or another felt the effects of money trouble, whether It was not enough cash to buy a car or a short- age of funds for a weekend spree. Years ago. it was easier to tell the faculty from the students just by looking at how each was dressed. It is now not that easy. With today's anything goes” styles, a teacher might be seen wearing the jeans, while the students are in more conserva tive or more dressed up outfits. Our school Is like a mini-community. As a matter of fact, there are more people here than In many small towns. And Just as In any community, we had different motives, aspired to different levels of achievement and we tried our best to reach Individual goals. De- spite that, In a very difficult year, we all pulled together to make it all a little easier for every- body. Although There Are Fifty States In The Union, And Thousands Of School Districts Many Teachers Have Chosen To Make The TREK TO FARMINGDALE The first step in obtaining a teaching job is filling out the job application. For Miss Marino, now Mrs. Hartford, the application led to an interview and eventual placement in the Social Studies Department ----...... . With the problems related to the contract, many people are be- ginning to wonder why they ever chose to become teachers, and why they came to Farmingdale. Some people know what they want to be when they grow up’ when they're small. Mrs. Shirley Cooperman reminisced, “I've al- ways loved school and have want- ed to be a teacher since I was a little girl.” Others made their choices as late as college. Mrs. Joy Jorgensen recalled, ”1 started working with students in college, and liked my major, biology. So I decided to teach it.” But Mrs. Jac- queline Masi never planned to teach, I fell into teaching. I didn't plan on becoming a teacher. I was majoring in Fashion Buying and Merchandising and the four year degree I was working on also in- cluded Business Education.” Not all became teachers because they wanted to. “In those days, 1960s, when I became a teacher women didn’t have any unusual aspira- tions. Teaching was one of the few careers a woman could have, re- membered Mrs. Susan Levin. Deciding to become a teacher may be the first step, but then four years of college and a mas ter's degree are necessary to ob- tain a job. After certification one must apply to school districts for a job. “The New York State Em- ployment Agency told me about Farmingdale, so I sent them a let ter. Farmingdale offered the high est salary at that time. It also had the best program for English teachers,” remarked Mr. Robert Little. Some knew insiders here that helped them find jobs. A friend of mine, Mr. Scuderi, was teaching here at the time. He told me about the school and set up an interview for me. I liked the friend- ly atmosphere and decided that I’d like to teach here, confessed Mr. Robert Rose. Others were known in Farmingdale before. Mrs. Jor- gensen went to school here and was called back to teach. Mrs. Re- nee Pasternack admitted, I did a lot of substitute teaching when my children were younger. I was offered a job at the right psycho- logical moment in my life and took it.” What keeps these people here to educate our youth? Mrs. Ellice Vassallo summed up most of the feelings, I enjoy teaching and I like the kids. All teachers' careers at Farmingdale are Even when employment has been chronicled in their personal files.

Teach- ers present lessons and guide the studies of their students. They take the roles of counselor, confi- dant, and coach. They prepare, discipline, bring home an idea, and tell jokes. They educate. But a teacher’s education doesn’t necessarily stop with a Master's degree. Teachers are constantly in the classroom learn- ing. Mrs. Vassallo said that she had completed Administrative In- ternship last year giving her a cer- tificate in Advanced Studies in Ed. Admin. This year she’s continuing in the doctoral program. A few teachers have gone far beyond their colleagues academically, and have achieved the highest degree possible in education, the doctor- ate. The results may be the same- prestige, but the reasons behind the added acquisition of knowl edge differs. I love English courses and wanted to get the highest degree possible in my field,” explained Dr. Phyllis Za- phiris, Ph.D. She added. “I’ve al- ways been in school, since I was in kindergarten. I enjoy learning and have just continued straight through with my education. Dr. Ruben Friedman just enjoys the prestige of have earned his Ed. D.. a doctorate of education. Mot everyone who continues to further their education continues in their present field of education. There are countless other careers and opportunities available. Mr. Vincent Lyons, now also an attor- ney at law. believes. “People should have more than one career. When it becomes routine, you should switch. I’ve always wanted to be an attorney. Mr. Jeffrey Spiro, has a hobby that concerns food and wine which spurred him on to take some courses at Cor- don Bleu School. His goal is to open a gourmet food shop. Mr. Spiro revealed, “My training as a teacher didn't prepare me for this, and I needed formal training be fore starting. Before this. I was to- tally self taught from cookbooks and experimenting. Also in the food business, but not as a pro- prieter like his colleague, is Mr. Frank Allison whose goal is to be come a chef. I enjoy preparing food for people: I like to be cre- ative. Right now it’s an avocation, if there’s enough money in it, it’ll become a vocation, he ex- plained. We all know that school work can be difficult and arduous at times, but combining going to school with teaching can be ex- tremely trying. My attending classes was a sacrifice to both my self and my students, It was a tre mendous strain,” admitted Mr. Ly ons. ”1 learned that it's not neces sarily intelligence but a lot of en durance and the ability to with- stand torture and pressure. You learn how to write and revise a long research paper on an original topic,” Dr. Friedman confessed. On the positive aspect. Dr. Za- phiris felt, My homework didn’t necessarily interfere with my du- ties as a teacher. I just had to orga- nize my time accordingly. Despite all of the hard work, long hours and many years of study, it’s all worth it in the end. Persistence. You just can’t give up. advised Mr. Lyons. Dr. Fried- man decided that his degree leaves him with lots of job oppor- tunities. I'd like to teach in a college and I’ve started my own writing business called, “Writing Unlimited. ' he explained. Dr. Za- phiris summed up by saying, Ex- tra schooling helps my teaching because it enables me to be a stu- dent viewing teachers as well as a teacher. Traditional medieval regalia symbolizes academic accomplishment. Dr. Friedman received his doctorate at Columbia Univer- sity after years of challenging studies and hours of commuting from his Long Island home. Of course, his parents attended the ceremony which marked his achievement. A doctoral degree can be achieved in many different fields. Dr. Zaphiris attend ed New York University and earned a Ph.D. in Literature. Mr. Ivan Krakowsky is only one of the many people with whom she reviewed the pitfalls of her studies. Copyright. 1982.

This Year In The Spirit Of Revenge We Decided To Ask The Teachers WHAT DID YOU DO ON YOUR SUMMER VACATION? Tomorrow is the last day of school. Then we re free . . . No more school until September. Sound familiar? Not only do stu- dents look forward to the free- dom of summer vacation, but teachers do too. Miss Caroline Caccavallo said. I enjoy being lazy, being able to get out of bed in the morning when I want to, and not being on a schedule. Most teachers do ordinary things like staying around the house and relaxing. Mrs. Doris Brenner said, I stayed home this summer and cleaned out the attic and basement. I also had the bathroom redone.” Mrs. Marta Perez stayed home, but was ambitious. She creatively used her talent as a Spanish teacher to teach 13 neighbor- hood kids 4 to 7 years old Span- ish. They learned a lot and I found it very rewarding. They even came over on Sundays, but I would tell them that it was the teacher's day off. Children that young are so eager to learn, she stated. Mr. Philip Husted and Miss Sheila Shapiro have unusual jobs they pursue every summer. Mr. Husted has been clamming in the Great South Bay for ten years. He digs for hard shell clams which are sold at the end of the day to wholesalers. Some- times the buyer takes the clams to the Fulton Fish Maket but of- ten they arrive in California to be eaten within 24 hours. Mr. Hust- ed takes his boat to the Great South Bay and works off it from 6 a.m. to 2 or 3 p.m. It’s a change from teaching which is a sedentary job to this which is physical. It’s a lonely job, but peaceful. I enjoy it, explained Mr. Husted. Miss Shapiro also spends her summer on the wa- ter, but instead of clamming, she teaches sailing. She explained, I ski in the winter, and was look- ing for something exciting to do in the summer. My parents had a small motor boat but I became interested in sailing because it was more exciting. I started do- ing this eleven years ago and I enjoy it.” Mrs. Susan Levin and her hus- band spent an exciting summer camping in the Grand Teton Mountains. Mrs. Levin found an advertisement from the Ameri can Forest Association, a conser- vation organization, called Trailriders of the Wilderness in a magazine she was reading. I like the outdoors and received more information about the trip. We decided to go. They went to the Teton National Forest in Jackson, Wyoming and spent 6 days camping in the mountains. They rode mostly on horseback. There were 18 people and there were 24 mules who carried ever- ything including food, tents, and even a reflector oven. We rotat- ed jobs and learned by doing- —pitching tents, cooking, and horsebackriding. I live in the city and it was a relief from urban life. I enjoyed the experience of being on a horse and being out- doors. It was a pleasant way to spend my summer, related Mrs. Levin. Mr. Roger Schroeder also trav- eled this summer, but it was not as exotic’ a trip as Mrs. Levin’s. He spent his summer traveling around New England gathering information and taking pictures for his books. Mr. Schroeder is an author, working on three books at the moment, one on woodcarving, one on house fram- ing the old-fashioned way, and the other about advanced bird- carving. I like working vaca- tions. It started as a hobby which turned profitable. stated Mr. Schroeder. After a relaxing, enjoyable summer. Labor Day, which marks the end of summer and the beginning of school, rolls around too quickly. After 10 weeks of clamming, I’m ready to go back to teaching, admitted Mr. Husted. 158 Faculty Igor Hudadoff: Music Director Philip Husted: Algebra Henry Hutter: Gen. and Adv.

Mr DeMilo and chairman Mr. Hudadoff find that they are not always in agreement when discussing musical techniques. In addition to paperwork and administra- tion details, time is spent individually with each teacher. Mr. Cincinnato and Mrs. Wayne discuss the need for new books. Between The Administration And The Faculty, They Are Often CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE “Our purpose is to be leaders within the school, and to set a tone for the teachers through leadership 9 summed up Mr. Paul Cincinnato, district director of Foreign Languages and ESL. Does one ever realize that just the senior class of 1983 which in- cludes 725 students has a larger population than most elementary schools? There are 185 teachers in the high school. The English department, alone, contains thirty teachers, just as many as in an entire elementary school. The principal can keep the elementary school running smoothly, yet for thirty teachers in one department a lot of organization and coordina tion is involved so an intermediary is needed-the Department Chair- man. He or she acts as a liaison between the principal and teach- ers. The role that department chair- men play is a very important one. Mr. Ivan Krakowsky, social stud- ies chairman, believes that the role of a chairman is one of being principally responsible for improv- ing instruction. They are responsi- ble for planning new programs and seeing that they are delivered to the students, preparing an an- nual department budget, ordering textbooks, and preparing uniform midyear and final exams. They also observe and evaluate teach- ers’ performances, counsel stu- dents and mediate between teach- ers and students especially when a student feels misplaced in a class and wants a transfer, or is a disciplinary problem. Each day they spend a great deal of time talking to teachers and students. Everyday when I walk in, I never know what awaits me,” explained Mr. Joseph Morra, chairman of the English department. Though department chairmen teach at least one class, all were full time teachers before becom- ing chairmen. Teaching can be considered the most important as- pect of the chairman’s job. Mr. Seymour Kopilow, chairman of the science department, believes that teaching is necessary be- cause if one isn’t in the classroom, one doesn’t know where it’s at.” Mr. Isidore Berglass, math chair- man, admitted, I miss being in the classroom. That’s where the fun is.” One can’t be a chairman without being first a good teach- er, concluded Mrs. Anne Heany, chairman of home economics. Faculty 161 When You Feel Cubicled, Scored, Catalogued, Counseled, Guided, Recommended, Accepted, And Rejected, You’ve Been Through THE FARMINGDALE SYSTEM ‘What!? I wanted to take Auto Shop, not Physics. They are al- ways messing up my schedule! This comment has often been heard in September, but it isn’t as common as one might think. Our guidance counselors sometimes mess things up, but mostly they straighten things out. Each of us needs someone to turn to for help when we run into trouble. Our guidance counselors are here to help us through the bumps, bruises, and detours we run into during our school years. But why become the Dear Abbys of the school? Like teach- ers, guidance counselors had dif- ferent reasons for entering their chosen profession. Some started out as teachers, but decided to fur- ther their involvement with the students. Mrs. Joan Campbell ex- plained, “While I was a classroom teacher, I grew to love the stu- dents, and I thought I could help them. Miss Helen Cooke’s story reflected a different view. She told us, Actually I started out as a math teacher in Nyack High School. The superintendent need- ed help in scheduling classes and felt since I was a math teacher, I selors to learn how to handle them, and then decided to become a counselor, she revealed. Guidance counselors do a lot hedule problems, attendance and though we may depend on their knowl- neral confusion (especially early in edge and experience even they can mess place in things up now and then.

She originally was a medical social worker in Phila- delphia working with young girls. I used to talk to guidance coun- NO ONE KNEW” The news seemed to come from nowhere .... Mrs. Susan Vigiano had died of cancer at the age of 36. After 14 years as a vital educa- tor in the business department, her colleagues and students react- ed with shock and grief. During the fall of 1981, Mrs. Vi- giano was pregnant with her first child. When she left school in De- cember to prepare for the baby’s birth, no one knew that she was also very ill. On February 6, 1982, with her husband, Dominic, by her side, their son Adam Gerson was born. The times she spent with her son were the happiest times of her life. She was not able to return to her teaching position after this, although most of us thought it was because she had chosen an extended maternity leave. Her sense of devotion to her son and husband, and her desire not to be the focus of excess attention kept the months between February and her death on November 11, very private. Although Mrs. Vigiano was a strict teacher who expected a lot, she was well liked by all of her students. She was very devoted, and gave up a lot of her free time to tutor students or just to talk to them. To all of us, the words that the rabbi spoke at her funeral were most appropriate, When you leave something behind you are remembered forever. You live forever, you never die. Even with pressures of her personal prob- lems and the responsibilities of preparing her students for the business world. Su- san Vigiano was always a teacher who was there when we needed a friend. more than spend time messing up schedules. They are involved and concerned with many aspects of their students' lives. One of the hardest aspects to being a good guidance counselor is that you must have great knowledge of the most current events a guidance counselor must know: such things as the job market, how people learn, and how subjects are taught. I read extensively to keep up with the new events and ideas of the changing society, said Miss Cooke. Talking with the stu- dents about their problems at home, and school, with family, teachers, and friends, is one of the guidance counselors’ many jobs. We help them plan their careers, decide what courses to take, im- prove study habits, and make ad- justments, noted Miss Whitley. This year the guidance counsel- ors had more work than ever be- fore. Because of the labor prob- lems, most teachers refused to fill out recommendations, references, and scholarship applications which added more work to the al- ready overloaded guidance coun- selors. Sure it was a lot of extra work, but that’s what we're here for, explained Mr. Edgar Glas- cott. 162 Faculty Louis Ruggiero: Fashion Merchandising.

Chris Trotano takes advantage of the labor prob- lem in his protest costume, and finds him- self a sympathetic ear in Mr. Stern. Concerned students asked the Board and the F.F.T. to meet with them so they could find out what was happening with negotiations. On December 16. a meeting in the Alternate School was arranged Mrs. Feldhaus. F.F.T. President, explains the teacher's side to Laura Charchian and Den ise Hughes, two of the thirty students who attended Even the English Office isn’t spared from the anger provoked by the contract dispute. Frustrated vandals destroyed many books and papers in an attempt to voice their opinions. Faculty Feature Contract Dispute —— It seemed like everyone was caught in the middle: the Board of Education between the desires of the faculty and the budget, the parents between the importance of a strong educational system and potentially higher taxes, the faculty between the need for bet- ter pay and their professional eth- ics, and the students between the Board, the parents, and the facul- ty. As a result of the contract dis- pute between the Farmingdale Board of Education and the Farm- ingdale Federation of Teachers, animosity, lack of understanding, unreasonableness, and frustration between these groups threatened at times to tear apart the very foundations of the Farmingdale educational system. The faculty contract expired in June of 1982, and although negoti- ations had begun the January be- fore, the two sides were unable to reach a settlement until Jan. 13. After six years of contract set- tlements which collectively placed the Farmingdale faculty at the bottom of the Nassau County teacher salary schedules, the is- sues became obvious quite quick- ly. The Federation requested a raise in salary and benefits which would bring these items up to the median level in the county, and a continuation of other pre-1982 contract items. In the midst of tne confrontation, math teacher, Mr. William Roche, stated, “My friends in other school districts make more after ten years of teaching than I make after 25 years. Their health insurance is paid in full while mine costs more than $80 a month. They can take a sick day or personal day without being called at home and being threatened with a tenure hearing. Why has central administration forgotten the excellent service I have rendered in Farmingdale for the past 18 years?” The Board countered with requests for in- creased productivity, contract changes, and salary and benefit increases which were well below those desired by the teachers and, according to the Federation, be- low those offered by districts whose teachers were already earn- ing more. School Board Vice President, Kevin Armstrong, during a lull in negotiations in January, stated, The Board is conscious of the fact that there are inequities in the salary schedule, but these can’t be corrected all in one year.” Negotiations progressed slowly and sometimes not at all. To many residents of the community, the difficulties might not have been too important, but to the stu- dents and teachers who met each other every day in the schools the conflict was devasting. Most teachers decided that they weren’t going to do anything that was ex- tra on their part. All field trips were cancelled, extra help was of- ten withheld, classes tended to be more routinely planned, chaper- ones were difficult to come by for school events, the yearbook was boycotted, several extra-curricu- lar activities such as Theater Club and Math League suffered be- cause teacher supervision was re- quired for students to stay after school, and most emotional at- tachments between faculty and students were severely strained. Dawn-Marie Nolan, senior, spoke for many students when she com- mented, “Although I’m sympa- thetic to the teachers, it’s hard to go through the day feeling for their situation when you have to suffer their resentment and watch them lose the concern they have always shown for academic and extra-curricular activities.” Many teachers refused to fill out recommendations, references, and scholarship applications for seniors. This resulted in the poten- tial loss of scholarship funds and a difficult time getting accepted into college for some students. I had trouble getting recommendations from teachers for the college ap- plications; three teachers turned me down and the fourth finally accepted. I was very surprised that they would take it to these extremes, hurting the kids in order to get their point across to the parents, complained Danny Cook, senior. At the same time, the faculty throughout the district suffered from a morale problem, the diffi- culty of trying to continue doing a good job as teachers while still safeguarding the financial and emotional stability of their fam- ilies, and the pervading feeling that their efforts to improve the and vociferous.

Holding Back The Eager Hoards Striving To Make Contact With Their Guidance Counselors! Rescuing Their Bosses From Certain Death At The Hands Of Suffocating Paperwork! THEY ARE HERE! THEY ARE THERE! THEY ARE EVERYWHERE! THEY ARE THE UNSUNG HEROINES!! If one ever sat down to think about who really keeps the school functioning properly, one would eventually think of the secre- taries. It was the secretaries who worked behind the scenes all year long but weren’t given too much attention, yet they were vital for a properly functioning school. With- out them playing their important role, the whole school would com- pletely fall apart within one day. “There's never a dull moment here, one can always find lots of work to do,” commented Miss Frances Rotondo. Among their many duties, secretaries maintain student records which are re quired by the state, provide proof that a student actually did earn a high school diploma, and provide transcripts to all colleges a senior applies to. “This year is much dif- ferent from last year because this year I’m working with seniors in- stead of juniors. The senior year is always a hard year for us because we have so much to do,” men- tioned Mrs. Irene Salerno. Senior secretaries have to make sure that transcripts are kept up to date, because every application mailed must have a copy of the student’s transcript attached. They have to remind teachers to make sure rec- ommendations are sent to in on time and that midyear reports and grades are sent to the various col- leges. Because of this, there is much more individual contact with the students, added Mrs. Sa- lerno. Secretaries are also the school accountants. An important ser- vice they provide is keeping track of the money a club has raised and spent. One of Mrs. Lee Reyn- olds’ many duties is keeping accu- rate records of club accounts. I enjoy it because I enjoy working with the kids, she admitted. Whom does one usually en- counter first upon entering any of- fice? The secretaries, of course. One of their tasks includes acting as a substitute mommy for all students. They act as a liaison be- tween students and parents, be- tween students and administra- tors, and between parents and teachers. Teachers can’t often come to the phone when a parent calls, so it is the secretaries who relay messages, and set up confer- ences. They are also the ones who are called when an absent-minded student leaves a book at home and needs it for class. Even more important - they set up home tu- toring for students with a pro- longed illness so the student doesn’t fall behind in his studies. The secretaries also help absent teachers by calling in the substi- tutes to cover their classes. Being a keeper of important re cords, a liaison, and a substitute mom - their roles are diversified yet vital to our school. Having so many responsibilities makes the job interesting and not just typing, shorthand, dictation, and filing as many students think. Mrs. Jean Gibson summed it up best, It is a very diversified job, and never dull; it’s always interesting, chal- lenging, and exciting.” A secretary's lot is not all hard work.

McLennan Principal Through Years Of Change And Constant Reorientation Of Our Lifestyles And Goals, This School Has Not Only Survived But Has Matured. At The Helm Of This Vastly Complex Steadfast Ship We Know As Our School, Was A Man Whose Innermost Commitment Was Dedicated To Keeping Us On A Smooth Course. That Man Was Principal John A. McLennan. A FAREWELL SALUTE When Mr. John A. McLennan announced his retirement as prin- cipal of Farmingdale High School, many students and faculty mem- bers alike were saddened by the thought of losing such a helpful and valuable administrator. Through his years as principal of the high school, Mr. McLennan has contributed enormously to es- tablishing a student-oriented' and smoothly running school. When Dr. Burau, the former principal, retired there were nu- merous problems to be faced by the incoming principal. Among the compiled difficulties were the lack of schedules for the returning students; bathrooms which were inoperable due to excessive litter- ing, vandalism, and smoking; lunch periods which were broken into twenty-minute halves for lunch and study because of a gen- eral shortage of area in which stu- dents could relax and study; and a low staff morale due to the fact that nearly 50% of the faculty had been replaced the previous year. Eventually, however, with the cooperation of students and teach- ers. Mr. McLennan was able to correct these problems and raise the school spirit. By the time classes began in September of 1963, there were functioning schedules with which to begin the semester. The ideas of full lunch periods and free per- iods were initiated for the benefit of the students, and until more room could be devised to accom- modate the students, the hallway adjacent to the gyms was used as a recreation area. The bathroom situation took more engineering to remedy. The entire school was restructured in 1969, and re-equipped to suit a large influx of students. In addi- tion to these areas, a second level was added to many parts of the building and the entire Commons was designed by Mr. McLennan to allow the students more freedom and room for relaxation. Placed in the corners of the Commons were two large bathrooms which today function as the only facilities for the school. Before assuming his job as prin- cipal, Mr. McLennan had meritori- ous credentials including a Bache- lor's Degree in Philosophy from St. Vincent University in Pitts- burgh. Pennsylvania, a Master's degree in guidance and adminis- tration from Columbia University, Stanford, and the University of Connecticut, and a Bachelor's De- gree in both English and Theology as well. After serving as a training officer in the Air Force for four years, he became an English teacher for one year at Farming- dale before being appointed as at- tendance officer and then head of the Pupil Personnel Department. Finally, he was promoted to Ad- ministrative Assistant to the Su- perintendent and from there to principal of the high school. In the years following, the school ran smoothly except for a few uprisings, exemplified by the race riots in the late 60’s and the Viet Nam confrontations in the early 70's. But the school always endured and Mr. McLennan’s phi- losophy remained unchanged, that with the cooperation of the students, all problems could be overcome. Part of his philosophy was that there is a time for all things, and his time as principal which spanned three decades, should now come to an end. Mr. McLen- nan had decided to retire as princi- pal of Farmingdale High School, mid-semester, and to continue with his many interests, including his most favored: travel. He has already visited many countries and plans to continue his world- wide travels. 168 Faculty Administration John A.

This gang gathers around their favorite corner of the school to share one of the many good times of their senior year. One of the first events that marks the senior year is having a senior portrait taken. Photographer Bob Biello helps Patricia McNally pose for her portrait.

Farmingdale NEEDING THE DOUGH With the rises of prices and the in- creases of expenses, it was no wonder that more seniors were turning to part-time jobs for the extra money they needed during the school year. By their senior year, many students had their drivers’ licenses and their own cars. Owning cars meant stu- dents had to earn enough money for gaso- line, insurance, and other automobile ex- penses. With college rapidly approaching, many seniors needed jobs to start saving for their tuitions. Clothing and other day-to- day needs were other reasons for the stu- dents to get jobs. Babysitting, mowing lawns, delivering newspapers, and working at stores and fast-food restaurants seemed to be the ma- jor sources to which many job-seeking indi- viduals headed. Whether their motives arose out of necessity or for just some extra spending money, almost everyone seemed to possess a job before graduation. Working gave some students a sense of responsibility that would help them when they went to college, or when they decided to set out on their own. Janice Ruben- acker, who worked at McDonalds, thought it was important for her to work because it made her feel, independent from my par- ents. Meeting people and learning to com- municate and deal with them also played a very important role in future indepen- dence. Jobs seemed to present the stu- dents with problems and situations that might recur in their futures. Unfortunately, working had its negative side as well. Long hours took away from leisure McDonald's isn't always grilling hamburgers and mixing shakes. At closing, a responsibility of crew trainer. John Weiburg, is to mop up after the day.

Massapequa lives had to be reduced and friends had to determine times when all were free and could get together. Kris Townes, who was trying to earn some spending money by working at the Red Lobster, stated, “It to- tally interrupted my social life. Students who wished to do homework or study for major examinations had to stay awake past midnight if they had worked after school. John Gannon, who was working at Seven-Eleven and taking many hard and time consuming college level courses ex- plained.

Massapequa Park HI-LIFE PRESENTS . . . Although seniors receive awards from varied groups, there has never been an honor given by an impartial student organi- zation for which any member of the class might be considered. The staff of HI-LIFE has tried to remedy this situation by recog- nizing those students whose qualities best exemplify the graduating class. The search for the first students to re- ceive The HI-LIFE Outstanding Graduate Award was long and difficult. Faculty members were asked to nominate one male female, and the list was narrowed down on the basis of qualifications by HI- LIFE. Among these were school citizenship and spirit, academic achievement which indicated a sincere desire to work to full capacity, participation in activities and sports, community involvement, and quali- ties of character and ethics. The two students chosen are not only outstanding graduates, but deserve to be distinguished for their unique contribu- tions, their energy, and their enthusiasm. The 1983 winners of the HI-LIFE Outstand- ing Graduate Award are Rosemary Cuccio and Daniel Cook. Rosemary is truly outstanding in every category indicated for this award,” com- mented Miss Josephine Selitte. She is friendly, personable, and is always ready and willing to help others. These qualities are illustrated in everything she does. Her recognition for Dedicated Service from her Freshman Class was just a start. She has taught both religious instruction and soc- cer. Her work on the Prom Committee and other class functions made her the obvious choice for Prom Queen. Despite family problems. Rosemary has given of herself for the betterment of the school, the com- munity, and ultimately, herself. Some people are involved for the glory, but not Danny Cook. His energy and indus- triousness have been an important contri- bution to many clubs. Yet, there is more to him than just a list of statistics. He does things because he enjoys them, not for acceptance or rewards. He is exceptional in that he has acquired a talent for being able to mesh outstanding achievement in his studies with participation in activities and part time work, explained Mr. Leon- ard Marino. Danny is dedicated to all that he pursues.” Each of us may know someone out- standing, a fact which made our decision difficult. The group of nominees included almost everyone whom I would have thought of as being deserving of this hon- or, stated Mr. Edgar Glascott, senior counselor. After having given much of themselves, and learning as much about themselves as about others, Rosemary and Danny will graduate as proud representa- tives of the Class of 1983. —Joyce S.

A senior happily got into his car and drove to school. On the way, he passed his former bus stop. What a relief to have his license and his own car. His years as an under- classman were over. No more going to school in a crowded bus like a sardine, and no more standing at the bus stop in twenty degree weather or in the snow waiting for one half-hour for his very late bus. For walkers, driving saves a lot of time and bother. One of the best parts of being a senior was having reached the legal age to drive. During their free periods, seniors were able to leave school. Larry Schor explains, It’s great because we get to go out for lunch instead of eating the school's food.” Being able to drive was also a help to sen- iors who had to stay after school for sports or other activities. ‘Being able to drive to school is convenient because then I have the car for late play rehearsals and I can get dinner, commented Jill Niemczyk, senior. Outside of school, driving came in very handy too. Freedom is the best part,” declared Steve Duranti, senior. For seniors who went out a lot, having their licenses made life a lot easier. John Hayden ex- plained, I can stay at a party as late as I want. Not only was having a license more convenient for the students, but it was very good for their parents as well. Sonya Kaestner, senior, said, I don’t have to de- pend on my mother. I can do things on my own. Most of the seniors who had cars had to get jobs to pay for gas and upkeep. Bryan Jones explained the importance of having his own car saying, ‘‘Having the freedom to be able to come and go is worth the price of gas and maintenance. One of the worst aspects of taking a bus to school is the long cold wait at the bus stop. While Georgette Hardy shivers, anxiously waiting for her bus. she dreams of the day when she will arrive at school in the luxury of her own warm car. VICTOR ALEXANDER CHANG 147 Whitewood Dr .

In the sixties, when the movie 2001 was made, it was envisioned that there would be space- ships and space stations throughout the universe operated with the touch of a but- ton or by computers that could do almost anything, including talking and thinking for themselves. In the late seventies, numer- ous movies and television series were pro- duced also portraying fantasy futures or life in other places of the universe. Now, in the eighties, as the year 2000 rapidly approaches, we can only make wild guesses. The beginning of the century marked radical changes and advances in all aspects of society. Since then, the world has been burdened with a number of wars and crises, but progress has still been made exponentially. The developments we make in the field of computer technology are so rapid that the computer we have in the beginning of the year is surpassed by another that is produced at the end of the year. Will the end of the century continue the performance we have watched all our lives or have we reached a plateau? No one can say for sure, but it is so much fun to dream of what the future may bring. 'l look forward to the year 2000 as a year where everything will be advanced- like on the Jetsons, said Diane Ferrante. Other students had different opinions. Ma- rie DeMaio pessimistically stated, “I think that the world will be desolate, with a lot of crime. Victor Chang had a very different concept of the future. He explained. The world will be like one nation with many different states. Just as varied as these views were the students’ ideas about transportation and fashion.

Cars seem to have automatic everything and luxury cars are almost second homes. In less than a day we can reach anywhere in the world, if not by car, then by hopping on a plane. By the year 2000, Robert Andaloro, senior, thought that there will be, Air travel for everyday transportation.” Other students, however, felt that the cost and means of travel will remain basically the same. Su- san Bereche, senior, hoped, though, that, Maybe they can come up with a way to solve the fuel shortage that will not be too expensive.” Fashion conscious students predicted that clothes will be radically different. They described their idea of futuristic clothes as funky” as well as economi- cal and wild . According to senior, Lou- ise Baronowski, Everybody is going to be wearing spaced out clothes.” The one point that all seniors agreed on was that computers will play a very impor- tant role in the future. Today, they enable us to do things we never dreamed possible twenty years ago. Information is processed now at an incredibly fast rate and even small businesses and many homes have some type of computer. Ellen Berkowitz, senior, believed that by the year 2000, mu- sic will be by computer. Bradley Kass, senior, thought that even school will be computerized. He predicted, Teachers will become increasingly obsolete. They will use computers with students using headphones to learn from the computers.” Susan Bereche said, Hopefully they will come up with better methods to cure some diseases like cancer.” All seniors hope that whatever happens, the world will be a bet- ter place to live in because, although it is only seventeen years away, the year 2000 will be the year they will be the leaders and parents of America. The high school prepares many students for the future. Gala Milioner uses the school library to catch up on some studying. SCOT DYKAS 78 Leslie Lane. N. Massape qua MARTIN EDER 82 Sunset Ave.. S.

S Farm ingdale DIGNITY In a small alcove in the Commons, a stone statue of a lion guards our school crest and both remain virtually unnoticed by the hundreds of students who pass by them every day. At one time this was not so. It was not until 1968, that we had repre- sentative symbols. The formation of the crest and the lion marked an important event in the history of Farmingdale High School. Our principal, John McLennan, de- signed these symbols. The idea for the de- sign of the crest was inspired by the em- blem on a pack of Pall Mall cigarettes. After this emblem was combined with Mr. McLennan's own creativity, our school crest was born. The Class of 1968 presented Mr. McLen- nan with a plaque commemorating his part in establishing our symbols. It reads: These heraldic lions show strength and courage; their crowns signify kingly honor and integrity. The lamp represents knowl- edge and truth, with its searching flame of wisdom. This majestic shield is halved in traditional Farmingdale green and white. All which the seal portrays represents the hopes and aspirations of its scholastic community. Our school crest appears on all official school documents and stationery. Wherev- er a student looks he can see a class ring, jacket, notebook, or bookcover with our school crest on it. The lion will lie majesti- cally on its platform guarding our school crest, its meaning and the spirit it repre- sents to be ever present in the years to come. The first day a student walked Into Farmingdale High, he recognized the school crest hanging in the Commons. Through his high school years he associat ed it with the strength and spirit it represents. At graduation, the students see the crest for the last time, reminding them of the achievement they have attained by graduating from Farmingdale High School THE CREST ADDS 184 Seniors, Fer Fra EDITH FRANKSON 26 Copeland PI., S.

Fra Gio 185 GO TO THE HEAD OF THE CLASS Ranking among the top ten students in a class of over seven hundred is not an easy task, but it is an honor which seems to be worth all the effort not only for its prestige, but also for its sense of personal achieve- ment. Most of the ten students (Mary McA- teer, valedictorian; Jill Anne Niemczyk, sa- lutatorian; Vicki Sperling; Ellen Berkowitz; Daniel Cook; Susan Goulding; Louis Spina; Dawn-Marie Nolan; Victor Chang; and Julie Gray) felt they had a good chance for the position, but wanted even more to be satis- fied that they had been the best student possible. Mary McAteer pointed out, True success and fulfillment is knowing that you’ve done your best; no one can expect anything more.” Not one of the students could deny that this honor was not achieved without a great deal of hard work. All of the students followed challenging programs while trying to include other activities in their lives. There was a general consensus that in or- der to ensure high averages, some amount Df sacrifice was necessary whether it in- volved watching less television, attending ewer social gatherings, or just reducing he amount of relaxation time. Vicki Sperl- ng admitted, “Schoolwork always came efore my fun,” and Jill Niemczyk agreed hat, Having to juggle studies with extra- rurricular activities definitely .limits your social life.” Julie Gray summed up the group’s feelings, though, when she suc- cinctly added, But, it was worth it.” Individually, these top ten seniors fol- lowed study habits that ranged from de- vout studying to less rigorous and more scientific methods. For instance, Dawn-Ma- rie Nolan said, “It is merely listening intent- ly in class and understanding more general ideas instead of details.” Equally unique were their choices of fa- vorite classes. Heading the list were the various language classes, however, each department was distinctly preferred by one or more of these seniors. Although these students all wanted to be in the top ten, many of them had other goals. Ellen Berkowitz explained. I tried to do well on the college boards so I could go to a good college. They have all exhibited their potential to enter the col- lege of their choice and to pursue their desired careers. The honors they have achieved in high school will be remem- bered always because it is only through such examples that the high academic standards of the school are maintained.

Every year seniors go through one of the most trying and agonizing experiences of their lives. This was the time that they prepared for going to college. This process included taking tests, filling out applica- tions, visiting colleges, going for inter- views, and experiencing the fears of being rejected by colleges. For most students, the ordeal of prepar- ing for college began in the junior year when they took the PSAT. Next, they dili- gently prepared for the SAT. Taking this test set off a paralysis in some students, while others tried to remain calm. Linda Ruffman, senior, said that she remained pretty calm because I wanted to be able to concentrate. ’ Another test taken in the ju- nior year was the ACT, but one of the major concerns of a student was which score the college he had chosen would ac- cept. Some students took these tests again during their senior year in hopes of getting a higher score. Once the tests had been taken, the sen- iors were faced with the process of choos- ing colleges and applying to them. Stu- dents learned about colleges by attending College Fairs, by speaking to their guid- ance counselors, and by visiting colleges. At the college they could take a tour of the campus or just look around for the day. Sometimes it was necessary for a student to go for an interview. To some people this could be most terrifying, while others stayed calm and were able to survive a productive meeting. In either the junior or senior year, stu- dents had teacher recommendation sheets filled out and there was a crucial decision of which teacher to choose. Besides these, there were also the decisions to be made by many students of what their major will be. For Julie Gray, senior, this was a fairly easy decision. She said, “I want to become a doctor. For others, it was an extremely difficult task and they spent many aimless hours just trying to think of something to put on an application to a college. One of the biggest problems faced by all college bound students was the question of financial aid. With all of the budget cuts and inflated costs of college, it was much harder for students to get loans and other means of financial aid. In many families, the problem was that the income was too high to receive aid but not high enough to pay for the entire cost of a college educa- tion. Senior Patricia Baumann’s view on financial aid was, It’s practically impossi- ble to get, but we really could use it. There were many different financial aid forms to be sent to various places. The whole process was confusing and frustrat- ing. Once a student had decided which col- leges The College Fair provides a wealth of vital informa- tion for any senior exploring possibilities of further- ing his education. Debbie Lang.

After all of the student’s information was gathered together and mailed away, came the hardest part of all-the agonizing wait for notification of acceptance. As the day approached for the letter of accep- tance or rejection from a college, students rushed home from school and ran to the mail. This would continue for days until finally the letter would come. If accepted, a huge weight would suddenly disappear from the student and months of worry would be over.

Farmingdale SALUTING OUR OFFICERS Every year each grade elects its class officers. The senior class -officers: Vicki Branston, Corinne Barrett. Fran Marcus, and Jackie Terry, with the help and guid- ance of the senior class adviser, Mr. Glas- cott, were the individuals who worked to- gether to plan the special events for the senior class. These events included fund raisers, the senior class trip, the senior ban- quet, the talent show. Senior Activity Week, and the prom. From the beginning of the school year, the officers planned events that would not take place for months. Although each officer had a designated position, they seemed to share many of the duties. For instance, they all took part in deciding and planning class activities. Making important decisions,” said Fran Marcus, treasurer, is very hard but the four of us do it together.” Of course, each officer had special du- ties unique to her particular office. Vicki Branston. as senior class president, was the head of the planning committee and organized the activities for her grade. Co- rinne Barrett, vice president, did all of the behind the scenes work. Her main duty, she stated, is to always be there for any one of my fellow classmates, and to make sure their questions and problems about the senior class activities and functions that go on. are always answered.” Fran Marcus had the most unique function as ----------'I treasurer. She was responsible for keeping records of the senior class’ accounts, writ- ing checks, paying bills, depositing money and overseeing all aspects of financial sales and proceeds including individual credits earned by students.” As secretary, Jackie Terry helped to organize special functions and to keep records of them. During prom time she was responsible for seating arrangements and making sure that everything ran smoothly. The four officers shared a common re- ward for their efforts-knowing that they had succeeded. They knew that their planned activities had been a success when they saw everyone's happy faces” according to Vicki Branston. Jackie Terry thought success meant on the night of the prom seeing everyone walking out say- ing what a good night they had. For Fran Marcus, the Pep Rally meant success. Fran recalled, “We felt pride and satisfaction that we had been instrumental in planning an event with such magnitude that it brought tears to our eyes. Corinne Barrett had a feeling of accomplishment and thought her fellow students really care about how I have tried to help them.” After all of their hard work Jackie Terry summed up the feelings of all of the offi- cers when she said, It’s rewards like that, that make you feel really good inside.” Four students.

Blasting music at home and in the school parking lot kept students distracted from responsibilities at one time or another during the year. Although music may not be the most important agent of everyone’s life, it somehow works its way into every- one's routine whether it is rock, new wave, big band or classical. Senior Patrick Hull, like many other sen- iors, was greatly involved with music. Music is my life, he explained. Pat played drums in the school band, Jazz band. Pit orchestra, and in his own rock group, Black Diamond. Senior Vinny Car- olio was also in a rock band- Strict Nyne and commented It relaxes me and I like it a lot. Many students used their spare time and maybe even some studying time during the year to practice a musical instrument and to listen to their favorite groups. This year one could find senior Ante Pavkovic play- ing his guitar or listening to his favorite heavy metal music. This music and new wave were the thing this year and stu- dents turned their radios to stations like WPLJ or WAPP, the station which first aired last summer. The most popular enter- tainment by far was MTV, the first video musical channel. Rock was not the only type of music. though, that interested students. Senior' Corinne Barrett stated, Singing, it’s my life. She performed all different types of music in countless plays and talent shows and even at dinner clubs in New York City. Carla Orlando, senior, also sang. She was involved with the school chorus and plays, sang at nightclubs, and performed in Catch A Rising Star. She added, I love to sing; it’s in my blood. This past year Farmingdale kept up its tradition of a superb high school musical program. Students interested in band and classical music played with the school’s orchestra and bands practicing long hours to perform two outstanding concerts this year. Other than the school groups, talent- ed students were selected to join the All County Band or Orchestra and the Long Island String Festival. Many seniors partici- pated in these and gave excellent concerts last January and February. Farmingdale students, whether they turned their radios to Stravinsky or the Stray Cats, who became popular this year, could not help being a small part of the population of people who enjoyed music. Music is a universal language understood and appreciated by all and it enriches the lives of all those it touches. Practice is necessary for any musical group to per- form well.

Taking advantage of the opportunities available to him, he could utilize his abilities to greatly expand and improve his character. Jackie Funk, senior, is one individual who exem- plifies this spirit of enthusiasm for learn- ing. Even though Jackie is deaf, her special qualities, including her independence, her determination, and her great personality help her to lead a normal life. This year, for the first time, Jackie used an interpreter in her classes. “I can lip read the teacher, but now that I have an interpreter, I can just look at her and see what the teacher is saying, Jackie said. Jackie learned sign language two years ago because her boy- friend used it. Also, she needed to learn it because she became president of the Coun- cil for the Hearing Impaired Teen Club. Vicki Rosenberg, who has been Jackie’s teacher since the eighth grade, said. Most people do not even know Jackie is deaf unless they are told.” Jackie started out in all general classes. Then she advanced into all regents classes, and even made the merit role, just by read- ing lips. After high school, Jackie hopes to go to either the Rochester Institute of Tech- nology or National Technological Institute for the Deaf. Jackie commented, I believe that being able to go to regular school here at Farm- ingdale High has been the best experience of all. Everyone was so helpful, including my classmates, friends and teachers. It takes a great deal of courage and determination to overcome a handicap. Jackie Funk practices speech with her teacher.

I just took my eyes off of it for a moment,” whined one unhappy ex-mother, whose egg had fallen from her locker be- tween classes. I was afraid that my egg would break, stated Diane Ferrante, and It did in math. When an egg broke, the whole project had to be started over from day one. Some students went through a great deal of trou- ble for the egg, even hiring babysitters, but they learned about the responsibilities of caring for something fragile while having fun. The mission, the teacher explained, Is to carry around the egg for a whole week.” The class listened intently to the explanation of one of the methods for earn- ing points in health class. Some were intri- gued by the thought of mothering an egg for a week, but others thought the idea was a bit silly. Mrs. Klersfeld, a health teacher, said the idea of the project was to give an egg an identity by painting a face on it, giving it a name, and furnishing it a house. The rules were that the egg couldn’t be left alone and was supposed to be given air whenever possible. Although it was diffi- cult, and sometimes rather embarrassing, the students had to carry the eggs around with them for a week and at the end. to turn in a report of the experience.

It takes a person with a kind and generous heart to devote his free time, without being paid, to help others. A true volunteer is a person to whom no task is too difficult. At a paying job if every extra hour is not paid for the worker feels cheated. A volunteer would not only enjoy working, but he would look for more to do and help anyone he could. In the midst of the bustle of college applica- tions and tests many seniors still managed to do volunteer work as well as maintain their grades. The wide variety of volunteer work ranged from being a volunteer fire- man to teaching Sunday school. Many of the seniors felt that a great many benefits and rewards accompanied these jobs. Melita Frouxides, a senior who had worked at the high school Green and White Shop for a year and a half, as well as H--------- teaching Sunday school for four years, stated, ‘‘I enjoy it. I like sharing my time with the kids and teaching them about the Greek Orthodox Faith. Joe Mauer, a volun- teer fireman, stated, I like helping people. If I needed help I would like people to be there for me, so I like giving my time to help others who need it. Very few of the volunteers felt that their work interfered with their studies. They looked upon their volunteer work as an extra activity which enriched their day, and even if it took away from their work or free time, knowing that they made some- one else happy provided enough reward. Safety is a crucial aspect of Girl Scouting which is emphasized in everything they do. As a leader.

(«„.-) One could choose from quite a selection of voluntary jobs including leading Girl and Boy Scout troops, teaching religion in a church or temple, working with handi- capped people, or candy-striping in a hospi- tal or nursing home. The requirements for the volunteer jobs were some ability and interest in the field. Any job that someone volunteers for is never as simple as it seems. Sunday school teachers must pre- pare lessons and Boy and Girl Scout lead- ers must plan meetings. There were hours and hours of time involved, not just the two hour weekly meetings. As volunteers, the students gained ex- perience working with people and learned many new and exciting skills. For some, their volunteer work was just something to do during free time, for others it would prepare them for the day when they would get a paying job in that field. If anyone has ever experienced the affection of some young students, members of a Girl or Boy Scout troop, or handicapped or elderly peo pie they would realize that this love is far greater pay than any money could give. To become a fireman requires a great deal of train- ing and preparation. Bob Benson and Nat Hubbard review procedures for heart attack victims with fire- men Joe Mauer.

Spring; Band EAT, D K3K, AND BE MERRY On December 3, 1982 hundreds of eigh- teen year olds gathered at bars in New York in order to drink their last legal alco- holic beverages until their next birthdays. On December 4, 1982 a new state law took effect which raised the legal drinking age from eighteen to nineteen years. Eighteen year olds have the highest alco- hol related automobile accident rate in the state. In 1980, eighteen year old drunk dri- vers were responsible for killing or injuring 1300 New Yorkers of all ages. By raising the drinking age, fatal crashes will be re- duced by forty-four percent according to a study by the New York State Division of Alcohol and Alcohol Abuse. The new drinking age will work in conjunction with the stiffer penalties for drunk drivers. This will also help reduce the number of fatali- ties within the eighteen year old age group. Some students felt the new law was un- fair. Kelly Sweeney, senior, complained, It’s not fair that we (eighteen year olds) should be punished for some teenagers' foolish mistakes and ill judgement. Senior Beth Rosenberg's reaction was that It’s not fair for the people who turn eighteen right after the cut-off date. Tom Tempia, senior, thought it was unfair because We can vote, drive, and be drafted at eighteen, but we can't drink legally. On the other hand, some students felt the new law would not do any good. Fred Kelly, senior, remarked that he did not think that the legislature should have gone through all of the trouble because kids will drink anyway. The students had to eat and be merry, but say bottoms down to drinking for another year. YOU MUST BE 1 YRS or AGE TO PUPCHA i BCf? 2 IP Many state legislatures have raised their drinking ages in the past few years. Greg Wilkinson walks by the refrigerator disappointed that he'd have to wait another year to be of legal drinking age. ROBERT ROTH 5 Fourth Ave.. S. Farm ingdale MICHAEL ROTHENBERG 229 N. Park Dr..

Rub Sch GENES THAT FIT Having a twin sister or brother means having a constant companion throughout the school years and can be fun to have. Once we drove a substitute teacher crazy. She left one of us in class while she went out for a minute and mistook me for my brother. This is one of the craziest and funniest experiences we have had with teachers, told seniors Keith and Kerwin Griffin. During the hard years in which we exper- ienced the growing of our mental and phys- ical abilities in school, some of us had the pleasure of sharing this with our sisters and brothers. Senior Diane Mueller, Karin’s twin, voiced the feelings of many students when she said, Even though we see each other all of the time at home, it is really nice to see a familiar face among all those other people. My friends expect me to have conflicts with my brother and sister, especially since they are both in the high school, but among us there is no sible war, stated David Yuen, senior. When many people hear the words sister or brother they think of fighting and competition. Sisters and brothers are very special people. Friends can come and go, but siblings will be there forever. Brothers and sisters can be very close, loving, helpful, and convenient. Some- times it helps to know that there is some- one there to help out in times of trouble. Karin Mueller, senior, showed the impor- tance of having her sister, Diane, in school with her. Whenever I am upset she will be right there. Gerald Romanelli, senior, spoke about his feelings of having a broth- er in school with him, It is nice having him come to me for advice. A sister or brother in the same school can add to an enjoyable senior year. During their free period. Diane and Karin Mueller have a chance to chat in the Com- mons. JAMES G. SCHMITT 208 N.

Farmingdale FOLLOW A LEADER When the football team won a game, or the Blood Drive, sponsored by the Honor Society, was successful, every member of the organization was proud of the accom- plishment. There were, however, a handful of seniors who were even more proud be- cause they were the presidents of the clubs or the captains of the teams which had done the fantastic job. Being a senior meant being at the top and being looked up to by the other grades. Because of their position, seniors were also the leaders of the school. As presidents, they arranged the club meetings and led the organization in all its activities. As cap- tains, they had a special place on the team, hopefully leading it to victory. Every leader had great responsibilities to their organization but the position was worth all the extra work. Kathy Keck ex- plained, To be captain of the girls’ basket- ball team is an honor. It is nice to know that Mr. Cerrone depends on me to get the girls together for practice and start the warm-up drills.” Angela Maniscalco, presi- dent of S.A.C., also enjoyed her position. She said, It gives me a chance to work with many great people.” Sometimes, there were problems with being a leader. Gerry Armstrong, president of FBLA, stated, Being a president is a big responsibility. I have to keep unity in the club and everyone involved while they are enjoying what they are doing. Leading your own peers also became hard at times. Penny Pantelis, captain of the Dalerettes, sighed, Sometimes the girls think you’re bossy but it’s necessary to get a routine learned. It would have been very difficult for any of the clubs or teams to accomplish all they did this year without good leadership. Once selected as a leader, a difficult responsibility not often considered is speaking in front of a group. Diane Ferrante has overcome any fears and is able to conduct the meetings for GLC. 208 Seniors, Set Sok FRANK V.

Seven hundred juniors left the high school in June, 1982 and when they returned in September as seniors some- thing had happened. Over the summer a disease, which only affects the senior class, began to spread among the students of the class of 1983. It is called “senioritis and its most obvious symptom was lazi- ness. In their senior year one of the many senior privileges' was the ability to chose which courses to take. English, health, and physical education were required. Other than those, the students were able to pick from the many electives. After the pres- sure of eleventh grade courses, whose grades counted towards rank, the burden was removed and in twelfth grade seniors felt the relief of not worrying about grades. The lighter schedule of twelfth grade gave students more free time. Sal Serafino ex- plained how he used his free time. Having fewer classes gives me more time to prac- tice and to write music. The general feel- ing of all seniors was that a great change had taken place. They were happier, more relaxed, and could truly enjoy their last year of high school. Adele Hess stated, It’s been everything seniors from prei- vous years have told me and more. Now that their senior year was here, stu- dents began to look to their futures. Some seniors planned to graduate and go on to college, others to get a job or to join the armed forces. For many, the future would bring marriage and children. The long years of Farmingdale schools were over and seniors were ready to enter the next phase of their lives. The senior year brings a great deal of free time to students. Lynn Mantione.

After hearing their friends' tales of their night of glitter and glory, it’s finally their turn. It’s their turn to live and enjoy one of their final high school years. Best of all it is just one step away from the long awaited senior year. The long struggle to raise funds for the prom means hard work for the junior class officers. Despite the weather, they must turn out to run the refreshment stand at football games Through the junior and senior years a car can become a student's best friend.

But imagine how much more courage is needed if the lan- guage of the new homeland is not familiar. German Patino came to Farm- ingdale from Colombia. He left be- hind his parents and ventured here not speaking a word of Eng- lish. In contrast to Colombia, the (J.S. is very large and appears to be even larger to someone who can't speak English. It was not hard for German to get used to FHS because, Every- body was helpful and friendly on my first few days here. School life in Colombia is very different from that of the G.S., explained German. In Colombia there are sixty people in one class and seven classes in a day. You even have to pay for all your books. Since lunch time lasted only 5 minutes in Columbia, a 40 minute period was an advantage to German. German's favorite class was English. He learned the language fast, and enjoyed the class more than any other class. German made it through the school year and his English im- proved greatly. After successively surviving one year of FHS, Ger- man became more prepared for life in the G.S. English is the hardest of all languages to learn.

Class rings are a tradition in many high schools. Farmingdale High School strongly continues this tradi- tion. Many students order them not because they particularly like the style, but because they almost feel obligated to buy their own class's ring. As junior Sharon Lalo stated, “I bought my ring because I felt I would have missed an important part of high school without it. It will always be a remembrance of my high school days. As a sophomore, the excite- ment is in just ordering a class ring. But that is nothing com- pared to receiving the ring the following year. These rings pro- vide a sense of belonging and school spirit. ‘‘You feel as though you now belong in the school. said junior Lizette Ga- lindo. The excitement does not stop there. Once the ring is in possession another tradition follows. A junior has his or her best friend turn the ring toward the pinky. This opens it. The person then gets everyone to turn the class ring for a total of one more time than his graduat- ing year. A disliked person turns the ring the 13th time, while a mate is the 16th. To seal it the ring it is turned away from the pinky. As a junior there is one other important rule. The ring must be worn so the words are upside down when someone else looks at it. Only a senior is allowed to have others able to read it. Class rings at FHS are not just a tradition. They also pro- vide students with a much needed sense of belonging and pride in the school. To some, the school ring is just a pur- chase but to others it provides the necessary feeling of belonging. Noth- ing compares to the feeling John Schmitt exhibits after having his ring placed in his hands for the very first time.

A home is per sonal and special. After all it is a reflection of one’s inner self. Rooms are decorated to one’s own taste. Since high school is most students’ home for at least 6 hours a day, they try to make the environment more bearable. Between classes, lockers are flung open exhibiting a variety of styles. Schedules, pictures, post- ers, magnets, and stickers are among the items found both in- side and outside lockers. I deco- rate my locker with pictures of my favorite groups. It gives the locker a more personalized look,’’ commented junior Regina Perez. A personal touch breaks up the monotony of rows of dreary lockers. Decorated ones stand out. Some lockers are almost hidden completely. “I dress up my locker with all my favorite things because it’s better than looking at the gross green fun- gus color,’’ explained junior Lisa Hill. Lockers are not just decorated for everyday either. On birth- days and holidays certain lock- ers put forth a cheerful sight. Hanging from them are stream- ers, balloons, and such other ob- jects that indicate individuality and creativity. Tom Moffet, sen- ior, replied, My locker is deco- rated because I like to be differ- ent from the normal. Whatever the reasons for decorating lock- ers. more and more students are beginning to take an interest in this craze to give the school a touch of home. A cozy atmosphere provides the incen- tive for students to survive a school day. Collette Foley gains ideas on decorating her locker from two experts. Regina Perez and Lisa Hill.

Yet many try to keep their birthdays a secret to avoid embarrassing surprises from friends. Some people are victims of lockers decorated with stream- ers. balloons, and signs. Others have their birthdays celebrated in different ways. Senior Julie Purcell says that one year during high school. My homeroom sang Happy Birthday to me. Others avoid embarrassing school celebrations but ex- change birthday gifts with friends in school. Says junior Cheryl Linder, My friend, Joan- na Marino, brings my birthday gift in every year. In October, she brought another friend, He- len Langen, a birthday gift into school even though Helen’s birthday is in July. Though many elect not to celebrate in school, some do not have this choice. Those students with birthdays during the sum- mer never get a chance for a school celebration. Junior Eileen Connelly, whose birthday is in August, states. I sometimes feel that I miss out celebrating with my friends because every- one’s away during the summer. 224 Sophomores.

Loy Oco HBO MAKES SCENE AT FHS California is not the only home of young actors and actresses. In a quiet hallway at FHS Jarrod Bagatell studies his lines in preparation for the days' shooting. Lights! Camera! Action! Many long to hear these three little words and for one sophomore these words rang loud and clear while a long time dream came true. Ken Leotti. director of ‘ Roll Me Easy” which will be broadcast on HBO next summer, traveled all over New York City and Long Is land in search of the right kid for his film. While passing through Farmingdale. Ken Leotti was re ferred to Jarrod Bagatell and gave him a call. Within twenty minutes after the call. Jarrod was “exam ined and had his picture taken. The next week he was given a tryout and two weeks later Jarrod Bagatell landed the role of Tommy Byrnes in a real life situation mov- ie. The movie was filmed in FHS and featured other FHS students as well as Jarrod. Practice ran for 4 hours a day. everyday for 3 weeks. The filming was tough, but fun, explained Jarrod. A professional atmosphere pro- vided many learning experiences for Jarrod and the others. Besides gaining acting tips, they learned filming techniques, lighting and sound effects, and differences be tween movie acting and stage acting such as projection and ex aggeration and other terms associ- ated with making a movie. Memorizing the scripts in a few days was just one challenge that Jarrod faced and overcame. With all the takes and retakes, the hours added up and became hard work but it was definitely worth it. Jarrod commented. Although Jarrod did not get paid for his work, he believes the experience was profit enough. Summing it up Jarrod said, ‘‘I learned a lot and I have benefited. The film is good exposure. You never know who might see it there in Hollywood.

As a freshman, the school is a place where new problems arise and are faced with a new outlook. New people are met with one experience following right after another. As a junior there are events such as the prom and receiving the school ring. But for the “wise-fools,” better known as sophomores, the in-be- tween year has nothing to look During the fall juniors can be spotted more easily than other students because they are proudly displaying their rings. As sophomore Debbie Battaglia turns Eileen Ferrity’s ring, she can t help wishing it were her own. forward to. Knowing the environment and routes of the school is one plus in favor of being a sophomore over being a freshman. Sophomores do get to order rings, but that does not compare to the feeling when the rings are obtained in the junior year. Sophomores are still held in low regard by some upperclassmen. Many sophomores think they own the world but they still have much to learn, commented Ellen Murray, senior. A sophomore is not given the early dismissal privilege and still must take swimming for one marking-period in gym. Sopho- mores cannot drive yet and most do not have jobs. There are many more disadvan- tages than advantages to being a sophomore, but sophomores don’t despair easily. During the year, they are able to concentrate on schoolwork and silently observe and learn the techniques of being an upperclassman. I’d rather be a senior, but for now, I’m happy where I am,” stated sophomore Lisa Pastoral.

All that was left undone was the tallying of the votes. As is done annually, four stu- dents were elected as class offi- cers to represent and make var- ious decisions for their classes. Being a class officer is a job that entails a tremendous amount of dedication and responsibility,” stated Nyssa Reine, Sophomore Class Secretary. Class officers, along with the help of the Students' Activity Council, are the people responsi- ble for the different dances, class activities, and various fund rais- ers. Each individual class officer has the difficult task of filling obli- gations both to their own class and to the entire school as well. The position of a class officer can be an extremely difficult one. It is not easy to satisfy everyone, and an officer can become very unpopular if even one decision dis- pleases a rather large group of the student body. As Patricia Rooney, Junior Class President comment- ed, We get some abuse from stu- dents who are unhappy with cer- tain things, such as the design on the class rings or the catering hall or bands we pick for the Prom.” It hasn't been easy. Those six- teen students who were elected to the position of a class officer have run into many problems, such as trying to get enough people to par- ticipate in the Class Contests at the Homecoming Pep Rally, or working hard to get the Valen- tine's Day Dance off the ground, only to see it fail. Yet the feelings that follow the completion of a year in office are usually ones of pride. Class election find candidates seeking help from friends during the campaign.

The four years of high school are not always easy ones especially when three of them are spent as an un- derclassman. During the course of the school year the seniors are given special privileges which exclude the un- derclassmen who must sit through their tedious classes while seniors proudly parade their costume creations and make it known to the underclassmen that they have the rest of the day off. I think we all should have a chance to be in the parade and share in the fun. It’s murder to have to go classes when we know the seniors are having a good Halloween gives seniors the chance to be- come little kids again. Longingly, an un- derclassman looks on anxiously awaiting his own turn. time, said Anne Mosca, fresh- man. Seniors are exempt from the physical fitness tests which are given in gym. The underclassmen however are left to sweat through those routine exercises. There are special courses offered just for seniors and seniors are allowed to make use of the pass-fail option. While underclassmen artistical- ly color in those little bubbles to test their I.Q.'s, seniors again have the afternoon off. And when un- derclassmen boil in the gym and classrooms in June, those seniors exempt from finals soak up the sun on the beaches. All of my older friends used to go to the beaches and gloat.

It seems that whenever I go for science materials, the taller people have already emptied the lower shelves, lamented Thomas Schmitt, sophomore, I always Most of the time people find being tall an advantage.

New Hampshire, Pennsyl- vania, and Rhode Island lottery agents halted bets on numbers 1910 and 2880. If people weren’t betting on these digits, they were looking for these lot numbers on the sides of Extra-Strength Ty- lenol containers. Widespread panic shook the nation as the deaths of seven Chicago area residents were linked to the consumption of the adulterated Tylenol capsules. All types of Tylenol were recalled, eventually, from all stores and consumers were urged to dipose of the McNeil Consumer Pro- ducts Company top selling prod- uct. Johnson Johnson busi- nessmen feared that their top- dollar acelaminophen-based anal- gesic would fall victim to a mad- man’s insane retaliation. ‘People who were unfamiliar with the effectiveness of Extra- Strength Tylenol, now noticed the product in a negative way,” stated Wendi Madsen, junior. “But there are people who will still trust Tylenol’’, she contin- ued. The re-introduction of the capsules was accompanied by commercials saying the impor- tance of the new tamper-resis- tant packaging: “If any of the HALLOWEEN '82 HELD HIDDEN SURPRISES protective seals are broken, do not use the product.” Many feel that all forms of over the counter drugs should be in tamper resistant packaging. If it’s the right kind of packag- ing the idea will be helpful,” sug- gested Philip Hurban, senior. However, in the following copy- cat’ poisonings, the public began to realize the vunerability of most consumer goods. More than ever, people are starting to take notice of the condition of the goods they buy. Increased consumer awareness will help any future poisonings from be- coming fatalities and Johnson Johnson has taken a beneficial step in consumer protection. One story led to another. Maybe the public only started to take notice of unusually packaged items after the Ty- lenol poisonings. When Hallow- een came close, parents began to realize that their children could be unsuspecting victims of a copy-cat adulteration. The Nassau County Medical Center offered its services to those who had in their posses- sion candy that had evidence of tampering. Although none of the x-rayed candy had any for- eign items in it, a few other un- fortunate consumers did find straight pins in various candy bars. No one was seriously in- jured in these findings. Halloween was celebrated in many different ways. Some parents let their youngsters celebrate traditionally, but limited their visits to neighbor- ing houses. Sharon Lalo, junior, stated, 'My family gave out money instead of candy.” Oth- er families distributed five and dime items, such as pencils and pens, which pleased most trick or treaters equally well.

Argentina looked east and saw land, however, the government of this island was not their own ... or was it? Ownership of the tiny Falk- land Islands was disputed in an unpredicatable 74 day war be- tween Argentina, who claimed a natural right to this land, and Britain, who had ruled the is- lands for 150 years. A total of 1000 Argentine sol- diers and 250 Royal Marines were killed. Three civilians also lost their lives despite the promised protection of the Ar- gentinian government. It had been established that because Britain, in 1833, ‘re- moved’ Argentinian settlers from the islands, the ownership was in Parliament’s hands. Ar- gentina, on numerous occa- sions, asked Britain to negoti- ate their ownership with Argen- tina. Talks were held with no results. On March 1, Argentina gave her first warning: We will seek other means if this issue isn't solved. March 20, Argen- tinian civilians landed on South Georgia, another disputed terri- tory, claiming they were con- tracted to dismantle an old whaling station. On March 30, Britain declared the Argentin- ian presence illegal, and both countries went on military alert. April 2nd, Argentina land- ed on the Falklands at 6 A.M. EST, and issued their last peaceful warning: ‘‘Any at- tempt to retake the Falkland Islands will result in Argentin- ian retaliation. The British advance to Port Stanley was not effortless. Cap- turing the high positions around Stanley enabled the British to decrease the Argen- tinian line of defense, an arc around the port. When British Marines reached the high ground around Stanley, Argen- tina ran up a white flag. As Brit- ish troops hoisted the Union Jack over Stanley, Argentine soldiers filed into the streets and laid down their arms. The message sent to Thatcher was The Falklands are once more under the government desired by their inhabitants. Argentina was not justified in trying to take over the Brit- ish islands, said Simone Wolfe, senior. “The British were justified in fighting back, she continued. Argentina fought for a principle they be- lieved in, and the British fought in such a way, ‘‘so that their defeat will make sure that they will never again dare to invade our soil. Britain saw the action as an invasion on the part of the Argentinians. ERUIT LOODSHED Israel, a week before the refu- gee murders on September 16, invaded Muslim West Beruit on the pretext of preventing bloodshed after the murder of their principal Lebanese ally, President-elect Bashir Gemayel. Any peacemaking intentions were destroyed when the Israelis put the Christian militia in con- trol of the two rampaged refugee camps, Sabia and Shatilia. The exact number of the deceased may never be known. The private army of renegade Lebanese Major Saad Haddad and members of Gemayel’s Pha- langist party were two groups named by eye witnesses al- though no conclusive evidence supports the accusation. Presi- dent Reagan demanded the im- mediate withdrawal of Israeli forces from Lebanon and also is- sued a statement of outrage to the world. Prime Minister Mena- chem Begin formally requested a probe of the massacre and the UN Peace Keeping Force re- turned to Beirut. Israel and Lebanon believe that peace in the Middle East will only be achieved by direct nego- tiations and that those responsi- ble for the death and destruction that occurred in the Lebanese refugee camps do not under- stand the struggle for peace.

The first natural gas pipeline, approximately 3,600 miles long, is under construction and will connect Clrengoi, Siberia with West Germany, France, Ita- ly. Spain, Austria, Belgium, Swit- zerland and West Berlin. The U.S. wanted to stop the first of two parallel lines, but could only hope to stop the second one. The pipeline will help the depressed economies of these mostly non- satellite nations get going again, however, the G.S. is worried that East-West relations may become difficult. The United States foreign rela- tions with the Soviet Union are quite delicate. Negotiating for- eign policies between the two countries is a very tedious chore, and the nuclear armament de- bates is an omnipresent issue. Leonid lllyich Brezhnev, over the course of his 18 year rule, dealt with five American presidents. On November 15, 1982 the en- tire Soviet Union mourned the death of one of Lenin’s true fol- lowers. At times, both governments did not agree upon certain poli- cies and procedures. In 1979, when Breshnev ordered the Sovi- et invasion of Afghanistan, one of the two SALT treaties was broken. In his reaction to the Cuban Missile Crisis, saying that the So- viet Union would never again be humiliated by superior military power, he launched the greatest military buildup of .luclear de- fenses in Eastern Europe, but his priority carried a cost. The Sovi- et economy is still far behind the economy of the the United States and the Soviet peoples’ standard of living remains one of the lowest in Europe, and the Russian agricultural system is still practically non-existent, rely- ing upon imported grain, an ad- vantage for political bargaining for the U.S. Breshnev’s successor, Yuri V. Andropov has been trying to live up to Breshnev’s ideals by means of peaceful, thorough ne- gotiations, much like his prede- cessor. Andropov has the tradi- tion of political detante to uphold and the maintenance of Bresh- nev’s empire, the empire Bresh- nev developed to be the military equal of the United States!

As they were marching past London’s Hyde Park, the scene was utterly de- stroyed by the Irish Republican Army. Four cavalrymen were killed. 22 guardsmen and civil- ians were injured and the IRA’s day of terror did not end at Hyde Park. Two hours later, similar scenes of mutilated bodies and a destroyed stage were caused, again, by another bomb. Both demonstrations were carefully planned. A gelignite ex- plosive was wrapped up with hundreds of 4 and 6 inch nails and planted in a blue Morris se- dan, parked right outside Buck- ingham. An IRA member deto- nated the bomb and sent the deadly projectiles in all direc- tions at speeds up to 500 miles per hour. The second bomb, planted under the stage where the Royal Green Jackets were giving a concert, was on a timing device. When this bomb ex- ploded, bodies and debris landed everywhere adding to the unsus- pecting horror. An IRA demonstration was not totally unexpected although nothing of the magnitude dis- played in July was imagined. Ac- cording to some estimates, the IRA had several more tons of sto- len gelignite in their possession. Prime Minister Margaret Thatch- er and the rest of Britain were de- termined not to let the IRA win their barbaric and vicious cause. November 4, 1979—Iranian Hostage Crisis begins. April 24, 1980—Resuce Mission fails. September 22, 1980 — Iraq in- vades Iran. January 20, 1981 — Hostages Released after 444 days of captivity. Perhaps Iraq assumed that with all the confusion in Iran with the American hostages, no one would notice that they had crossed their own border into Iran. After long, unresolved, stag- nant territorial disputes, Iraq took the first step towards an aggressive settlement. They also set down peace terms that have changed over the course of the two year war. This year, it was Iran who turned the war around. Setting their own peace terms, Iraq made one attempt to meet one of the demands. Iraq agreed to withdraw its troops, but Iran countered that even with a com- plete withdrawal, the war would not end. July 14, Iran contradict- ed its original statements regard- ing no intention of invasion and any hope of a peace settlement was destroyed. Computers 57 Corbett.

President Reagan had repeatedly stated that his plan of recovery will not take effect overnight and, with the majority of Congress on his side, he prom- ised a nationwide balanced bud- get leading to prosperity. The one change Reagan had proposed is what has been called the New Federalism . This pro- gram consisted of a state govern- ment swap of Medicaid for var- ious social programs from the Federal government. The closing of tax loopholes and the elimina- CRYING WOLF Following the legend of “The Boy Who Cried Wolf , the men on Capital Hill became used to Alexander Haig's threats of resig- nation. However, for the first time in seventeen months, there was no attempt to talk Haig out of leaving. Due to serious policy differ- ences, Haig felt as if he wasn’t in control of foreign affairs. In his resignation letter, he said, that (President) Reagan was shifting from that careful course which we had laid out and that con- sistency, clarity, and steadiness tion of 'fraud and abuse' in ex- ecutive branch would limit the unnecessary waste of govern- ment dollars. Unemployment in the U.S. reached record breaking amounts, when the number of jobless in October increased to 11 million. This figure does not include those who worked part- time due to the lack of full time work and those who have quit looking for a job. President Rea- gan offered his solution by pro- posing a public works program like the ones that created jobs during the Depression. of purpose were essential to suc- cess. President Reagan accepted the resignation with great re- gret” and nominated George Schultz to replace Haig. This administration has not and will not turn its back on America's elderly or America’s poor, President Reagan stated in an address to the nation. In the attempt to solve the Social Secu- rity crisis, a 15-member commis- sion devised a plan that would call for $169 billion of increased revenues and cost reductions be- tween 1983 and 1989. Reagan does not approve of the compro- mise, but he also feels that un- less something is done immedi ately, the entire Social Security system will become bankrupt in an alarmingly short time. LIFE AFTER DOOMSDAY Only the most devoted of sci- ence fiction fans took the book The Jupiter Effect seriously. The main idea of this publication was that if all of the nine planets in our solar system were grouped in a fan shaped area on one side of the sun, an unbal- anced gravitational pull would result. Life would cease. Dooms- day would arrive. March 10, 1982, such a plan- etary configuration occurred. Few took the warnings of Doomsday seriously. Scientists long before March denounced the theory of the Ju- piter effect since the planetary configuration has occurred sev- eral times before March 10, al- though this type of alignment occurs only every several hun- dred years. They merely stated that to have such a rare stellar occurrence happen within one’s lifetime is extraordinary. The oc- currence was so unusual that it became the basis for a joke: Take a look at the world around us. This is life after doomsday. Daniels.

Children and adults were all united for one cause in New York City on June 12. The largest demonstration in history contained almost 750,000 peo- ple rallying for peace without nuclear armaments. The rally was held during the United Nations special session on disarmament. Such a peace- ful protest showed to the world that there are many people who do not support any nuclear ar- mament projects, such as the MX missle Dense Pack, pro- posed by President Reagan. This project consisted of 100 MX mis- siles deployed in an area 14 miles long by 1.5 miles wide and would theoretically survive a nu- clear attack and launch a retali- ation. One of President Reagan's worries is about the Soviet weap- ons arsenal. In his Address to the Nation on Nuclear Arms (No- vember 22) he told the public that the USSR is far more ad- vanced in nuclear armaments than the U.S. He felt the only way to keep true peace is by equalling the Russian arsenal on every level. At the same time, America should be ready with a defense system that is superior to guarantee a type of safety for American citizens through the threat of retaliation. Norman D. Mayer, a man who was obsessed with nuclear weap- ons abolition, made his violent protest when he held the Washington Monument hostage for 10 hours by threatening to blow it up. He demanded that a nationwide dialogue be held on the dangers of nuclear war and that newspapers dedicate their full attention to the issue. When Mayor tried to escape, police were ordered to shoot him so he wouldn't become a moving time bomb. The van he had was later found to contain no explosives. Conflicting views prevent many proposed nuclear arms pacts from being executed. Peaceful demonstrations and let- ters to elected officials proved that the American public was highly concerned about the fu- ture of nuclear technology.

Non-striking members of the ITA, The Independent Truck- er Association, traveled only in the daytime and in convoys. Those members who would rath- er not have walked out were pushed by fear and intimidation by the 20 percent of indepen- dents who went on strike. Many members of the ITA were upset at President Reagan’s deregulation of the trucking in- On, March 30. 1981, John W. Hinckley, Jr. attempted to assas- sinate the President of the United States. He was a wealthy, twen- ty-six year old drifter. His obses- sion with Jodie Foster, an ac- tress, was his reason for shoot- ing the President. He used a .22 caliber revolver to attempt to kill President Reagan and wounded not only Ronald Reagan, but also White House press aide James Brady, Secret Service Agent Timothy K. McCarthy, and Washington Policeman Thomas K. Delahanty. All of these people dustry which made it easier for the big companies to cut rates below those of the independent truckers. About 40 percent of the independents were idle be- fore the strike due to lack of jobs. The strike was not backed by the powerful Teamsters Union nor the American Truck- ing Association, so the irate truckers took it upon themselves to gain the much needed support for their cause by getting the rest of the ITA members on their side. As a result, violence be- came associated with this strike. survived the attack. Secret Service Agents quickly reacted to the gun shots. The President was pushed into his car not knowing he was shot un- til after arriving at the hospital. John Hinckley was immediately surrounded by secret Service Agents and taken into custody. He was placed under psychiatric care. He was given special atten- tion and special protection. With- in the first year following his tri- al, Hinckley attempted to com- mit suicide three times. The outcome that shocked al- The Department of Transpor- tation officials stated that unless the violence was halted, no con- tract negotiations would com- mence. President Reagan de- nounced the strike and stated that the government could not let any group of citizens change the laws of this country by com- mitting murder. Many independents felt that strike or no strike, their minute pay would leave them bankrupt in a short time and no amount of violence would change that. most everyone in the United States was the verdict of the tri- al. He was found innocent by reason of insanity The Wash- ington jury found him innocent because they thought he needed help. When Judge Barrington D. Parker looked at the verdict, he was shocked. The jury found Hinckley innocent on all 13 counts. This had set off a panic in Congress, and today Congress- men are earnestly trying to change this antiquated law. A five day national salute to Vietnam Veterans started on No- vember 8, 1982, and ended with a dedication in Washington D.C. of a memorial to 57,939 Ameri- can soldiers killed or missing in the Vietnam War. Located near the Lincoln Me- morial and the Washington Monument, the Vietnam Memori- al was designed by Maya Lin, of Yale University. Engraved in its granite walls, were the names of those who were killed in chrono- logical order of their deaths. Deep opposition accompanied the dedication. Many felt that it was a disgraceful dark ditch. They objected to its shape, and color and to the fact that it car- ried no inscription, flag or slo- gan. A compromise had been reached by which a flagpole and statue of three soldiers would be added to the memorial. President Reagan appeared at the National Cathedral in Washington and told America that the time for honoring the Veterans has been long overdue. We are beginning to appreciate that they were fighting for a just cause. On a candlight virgil November 10-12, the names of those men who fought so bravely in a war that their country was unwilling to win were read.

Everyone sur- rounding the operating table and those who were observing knew that contained within the blue cloth was the Total Artificial Heart No. 1 . One day before his scheduled surgery, Barney Clarke’s biologi- cal heart wore out and was re- placed by the Jarvik-7. The synthesized heart con- tained 2 chambers made of poly- urethane plastic and aluminum which replaced Clarke’s left and right ventricles. Inside each chamber was a diaphragm of flexible plastic. Compressed air, entered Clarke's body through tubes, forced the diaphragms to inflate and pump blood out of the heart cavities, through swinging valves. Barney Clarke began to live with his new heart at 4:00 AM Thursday morning, Dec. 2, 1982. The experiment, whether or not the artificial heart would function in a real life situation, was a success. Barney Clarke lived 112 days longer than any- one expected. On March 30, 1983, it was Clarke’s other or- gans that wore out and caused him to die of what was recorded as circulatory failure. His doc- tors told that Clarke died with peace and dignity and his con- tribution to medical science had been extraordinarily valuable. Gangitano. Greg 234 Gannon, John 52, 175, 185 Gannon.

Whitney! Look! Like that guy is right out of GQ! Like, even the clothes he has on are soo totally awesome! Like way twitchen, right! Tiffany! He’s walking this way! Like he’s way rad. Like, well the bottom line is . . . he’s hot. The guy goes over to another girl. Whitney, like who’s that ho- ho twinky he’s with? Omigod, Tiffany! That’s Barbi. Her mother got, like, soo totally fenced at her when she found that reefdogger hidden un- der her bed. Right. I remember. She was like grounded from everything. She even missed the party that Carlie gave. It was all the way live. Like everyone was soo jazzed! Remember Kimberly! Like she was soo blitzed that she rolfed all over Sean’s xlnt black Rabbit convertible. He was edged for two weeks. It was grody to the max!” Well, what about those skanky nerds that crashed. Like, they almost ruined a way twit- chen, totally crankin’ party with their drug faze, crispo tudes! Some people are like soo lame. Poor Barbi. Her parents like took away everything from her: her phone, her Betamax, her sub- scription to GQ and even took away all her gnarly clothes. And now her clothes are like soo Joanie. And, like the bottom line was that she was taken to a shrink who was supposed to de-Val her. Her mom even like made her change her name back to Bar- bara. Like now she goes on daily scarf-outs and she is really a ho- ho, to the max. Imagine a guy like him going with a de-Val. Like, I’m bummed, fur shurr. Like, omigod Tiff, check out that killer mini. Isn’t it awe- some!? But, totally bag it, cuz I don’t have enough billies to buy it. But Whitney, there’s always Daddie’s credit card. Fur shurr! The fear of late night, unwant- ed company became a reality in September when two men, one armed with a gun and the other with a crowbar, entered the local McDonalds restaurant on Rte. 109. When the intruders entered the store, the only remaining people where the employees who were cleaning. The thieves stole a small amount of cash and left the store without harming anyone. Green.

VICTORY Recognition for a job well done is the most rewarding compli- ment anyone can receive. In 1982, Hi Life was recognized as the Best Yearbook in New York State by the Empire State School Press Association for the third consecutive year. Putting an award winning book together, explained Victo- ria DeSimone, Co-Editor in-Chief of the 1982 book, was a task accomplished by people who really cared. In addition to the top award, Hi-Life also garnered a First Place award for Best Theme and Organization, and Second Place awards for Best Use of Artwork and Photography and Best Photographer (Carmine Ratto). Getting articles written, events covered, photos taken, books sold, and money obtained was an enormous task for the 16 editors and managers. Each section of the yearbook had at least one editor to make sure that the best journalistic tenets were followed. stated Joyce Dworkin, 1983 Editor-in-Chief, and I hope that our hard work this year will be appreciated as well. Wc 1982 edition of HI-LIFE was recog nized for excellence at a yearbook con ference at Syracuse University. PARKING LOT BUMPER CARS FIVE CAR COLLISION IN BUS CIRCLE A chain reaction caused a five car accident in the bus circle (be- hind the pool) at Farmingdale High School on December 3, 1982. The girl who was driving the car that started the chain reac- tion, approached the curve where the fence was located and discovered that she would be un- able to complete the turn. As a result, she jumped the curb to try to avoid hitting the fence. After going off the curb, she skidded on wet pavement and, in a panic, hit the accelerator in- stead of the brake! The result caused her to hit four other cars, three belonged to seniors and one belonged to a teacher. All five cars sustained considerable damage. Henn, Ted 111 Henner, Stephanie 235 Henninger.

Groups of friends get together to talk, go places, or just “hang-out”. Transporta- tion, for those who do not hold a license, can be difficult. Only those privileged D.E. graduates have the social mobility driving brings. However, the driver finds himself responsible not only for himself, but for all others as well. In March 1982, nine students died in Mineola, when the driver of the van they were in crossed the downed railroad gates he as sumed had malfunctioned. He was found to have a blood-alco- hol concentration of .08. legally drunk in some states. Here, he was only considered to be “im- pared.” Many students began to real- ize the effects of alcohol upon one’s driving skills. In both dri- ver's education and health at FHS, the emphasis on drunk driving is well apparent. In dri- ver's education, movies are shown about the effects of alco- hol • some graphically display When playing tennis, if an- other player's ball comes on to your court, the common court courtesy is to throw the ball back to its original place. There’s not much any player can do if their request to throw back the bad return is ignored, but in Glen Cove, throwing back lost tennis balls wasn't the only court con- troversy affecting (J.S.-Soviet re- lations.

In health classes, articles, projects and most of the alcohol unit are devoted to drunk driving. Many students, by the time they acquire a senior license, realize the dangerous ef- fects of alcohol, but there are still those who scoff at the films, reports and stories. Helen Krelis, junior, said, “I wouldn’t trust my life in the hands of someone who is drunk.” The death of the stu- dents in Mineola may have pro- vided, for those in doubt, con- vincing evidence that drinking and driving can be fatal. cused Soviet diplomats of spy ing on Long Island's defense in- dustries. FBI officials stated that all Soviet compounds hide espio- nage activities to some degree and nothing could really be done. In May. Glen Cove residents vot- ed to revoke the Soviet diplo- mats’ passes for the town's fa- cilities. “The Glen Cove residents overreacted,” stated Sharon Lalo, junior. “The Soviets should be able to use the recreational facilities. The State Depart ment asked Glen Cove to lift the ban, afraid the Soviets would fight fire with a bigger flame. Most residents, before this ac- cusation, felt that in the event of a nuclear war, Glen Cove would be one of the last places to go. But today, many feel that any predetermined knowledge by the Soviets of our classified defense systems would naturally give the Soviet Union an unfair advan- tage. Glen Cove residents felt that they should retaliate by re- stricting the Soviets' leisure time activities. Jones. Helen Lynn 190 Jones. Lynn 150 Jonos.

Sandra von Thaden was evacuated from her home that unforgettable day and she recalled parts of that day very vividly. January 16 started out as any normal Sunday. But that day was an unexpected experience for all of us on Hampshire Drive. It all started around 3:15 that afternoon when there was a sud- den knock at the door. My moth- er answered it and a fireman told her that there was a gas leak and the whole block had to be evacu- ated. The firemen gave us just enough time to get our coats and get into the rescue squad car with everyone else. As we walked out of the house, we could smell the gas fumes. On the way to the firehouse, I could hear the radio in the squad car. The firemen were talking about putting bumpers on the train tracks to stop the oncom- ing train. They had to stop traffic because any spark could be dan- gerous. They took us to the Farming- dale Village Fire Department. The firemen at the firehouse could not tell us very much. They did explain that there was a leak off the main gas line at Merritt Road and Hampshire Drive, and it was in the process of being fixed. Slight feelings of anger came over me because no- body could tell us how long we would have to wait. I couldn't believe this was happening. I could sense the feelings of ner- vousness among my neighbors while at the same time adding to my own fear of what could hap- pen if something went wrong. We were allowed to return to our houses around 7 p.m. Before each family could go back inside its house, a man from LILCO and a fireman came to check the house for any gas pockets. The thought crossed my mind that it still would not be safe. They had to test the gas rating before we could turn on the lights. Outside the smell of gas lingered and they were still working on the corner. I was relieved that it was all over yet remained a bit un- sure. I am really not worried about this happening in the future. There is no reason why it should happen. If it does happen again, I think I will be more frightened because I have already exper- ienced it to some extent. I’d be afraid of its going a step further. Kestenbaum, Sue 14, 17, 84, 191 Kester.

With extremely mild weather, it cost less to heat the house this season than the past few. And when the snow fell, it took only three or four days for it to melt away. On February 11, the winter weather changed seasonably with the area's first major snow storm. About 18 inches fell be- fore the storm subsided the next day. Many students were disap- pointed that the season’s largest snowfall fell on the day February recess started, but the Bethpage slopes were full of snow lovers all during the vacation until tem- peratures hit 40 around the mid- dle of the week. By the time the snow sculptures melted, the streets showed blacktop and the sledding and skiing slopes were clear, the vacation was over. Lanfranco, James 193 Lanfranco, Joe 227 Lang.

GOING UPWARD Declining enrollment caused some schools in Farmingdale to be closed and the property sold. For many years, the site of the Main Street School was barren, used twice for stands at the Hardscrabble Fair. The mer- chants of Farmingdale were dis- pleased at the proposal of a Wal- baum's shopping center being built on the site. The voices of disapproval were heard, but once again, the power of profit through competition won. Just before the winter, work began on the barren lot. Expansion to a better location and larger store led the King Kul- len chain to sell its former loca- tion on South Main Street and move to Route 109. The Geno- vese Drug store chain also moved to this locale and to pro- mote their new store, a commer- cial, that featured William B. Wil- liams and the FHS Marching Band was filmed at this new lo- cation. A unique opportunity for the band and the community.

ISLANDERS WIN THE STANLEY CUP FOR THE THIRD YEAR The Islanders entered the 1982 Stanley cup playoff not only surprised by the Vancouver Canucks’ presence, but also wary of the opposition s bruising style of play New York adopted the Canucks’ own questionable style of play and won the playoff in four — bringing home the Stanley Cup for the third con- secutive time. Mike Bossy dominated the games with his excellent power play goals including a spectacu- lar backhand shot in the second game that assured him the Conn Smythe Trophy. He finished the playoffs with 27 points — 17 goals and 10 assists. It was in the second game, after taking the first by a score of 6-4, that Islander head coach Al Arbour, had his club abandon the sloppy go for broke’ tactics and return to the Islander tradi- tion of refined play. New York went on to win 6-4 in the second game, 3-0 in the third and 3-1 in the final game. As the ’82 83 NHL season winds down, opposing teams are fully aware of the Islander's hope for their fourth title. Off to a rough start, the Islanders had a sudden turn around and again the fans told their team to bring FOURTH the Cup. SOMETHING TO CHIRP ABOUT The month of Oct. brings with it the falling leaves of autumn and the climax of our 1 pas- time. This year's World Series featured the Milwaukee Brewers and the St. Louis Cardinals. The Brewers opened the series in style and walked off with a shutout, 100. The last time the World Series opener was a shut- out was during the 1954 Series when the Brooklyn Dodgers were blasted by the Chicago White Sox by an 110 margin. The Cardinals, interested in their attempt at a ninth World Series Championship, came back to take the second game, 5- 4 and then the third by a score of 6-2. Just as the St. Louis fans were opening the champagne, the Brewers rifled back with two consecutive victories, 7-5 and 6- 4, respectively. Back home in St. Louis, the Cardinals struck with a demoral- izing 13-1 walloping of the Brew- ers. Both teams entered the de- ciding game sharing three games apiece. But with momentum and the screaming home fans on their side, the St. Louis Cardinals swept the Series away from Mil- waukee by a final score of 6-3. The Cardinals were champions for the first time since 1968. Martin. James 196 Martin. Sheridan 159 Martin. Tim 237 Martinez. David 237 Martinez. Joyce 219 Martino.

He also made the earlier 43 yard run that gave Washington the lead. Winning their first league championship since 1942 gave each winning team member $36,000, an amount provided by the new NFL contract. The Mi- ami Dolphins did not leave with- out a ‘small’ token for their hard work. Each losing team member brought home $18,000. The fifty-seven day break in the competition for the Super Bowl gave a rest to all the play- ers and also provided a new, im- proved contract. Increases in pay ranges for both active rook- ies and veterans and in pensions for those no longer playing was one of the major terms in the new contract. An increase in ca- reer adjustment benefits and a modified freeagent rule satisfied most players. After the contract was negotiated, the games re- sumed under a shortened season of 9 games, with the play-offs including 16 teams instead of the standard 12. Only the date of the Super Bowl was left unchanged. In the Super Bowl, Miami had the advantage of a 17-10 lead at the half, but in the second half, the Dolphins were virtually un- able to generate any kind of an offense although their renowned defense remained solid through the late stages of the third quar- ter. The Redskins comeback paid off and the game ended, 27- 17. Many New York fans rooted for Washington, because they were disappointed at the Jets’ shutout at the hands of Miami. ‘‘I had never seen so many people gathered around one little black and white T.V. to watch a playoff game before the Jets-Dol- phin game, said senior Patricia Flanagan, an employee at F.W. Woolworth’s in the Sunrise Mall. Customers, co-workers and both assistant managers stood in front of the T.V. to watch the last few minutes of the fourth quar- ter, explained Larry Schor, sen- ior, who is another Woolworth employee, but as soon as the Jets lost, we turned off the T.V. and went back to work disap- pointed at their 14-0 defeat.” Despite the fact that during the strike fans lost interest they never lost their true spirit. Al- though the process that deter- mined the teams for the playoffs was not as simple as past years, Super Bowl XVII did prove to be one of the more exciting cham- pionship games. On the 17th green, a remark- able 40 foot chip shot from the rough went into the hole that gave Tom Watson the lead in the (J.S. Open on June 20. He com- pleted the round with a birdie on the 18th to turn back Jack Nick- laus' bid for his fifth Open title at Pebble Beach, California. Wat- son finished his four rounds at 282, six strokes under par. the only golfer in the 1982 Open to finish under par. But his luck did not end in the (J.S. Open. Finishing at four under par, he also took his fourth British Open title on July 18 with a total of 284. Winning the British Open, held at the Royal Troon Golf Club in Scotland, he became the fifth man ever to win both the (J.S. and British titles in the same year. Janet Alex won her first (J.S. Women’s Open title on July 25 with a 283, five strokes under par. Not as lucky in her attempt for a second professional title, she shared third place in the La- dies Professional Golf Associ- ation championship with a 283. Jan Stephenson won the title with a 279, nine strokes under par. She became the third non- (J.S. golfer to win the LPGA title. Messiana. Robert 198 Messana. Francine 228 Messina. Daniela 238 Messina.

And, again, four games to two, the Los Angeles Lakers won the NBA title. All six games had clear cut victories; the winners won by an average of 10 baskets. The Laker’s victories were not as close as Philadelphia's wins, 110- 94 and a remarkable 135-102, but with the help of Ervin (Mag- ic) Johnson, the Lakers won their fourth title and Magic John- son earned his third MVP title. Bob McAdoo, LA’s reserve center forward, scored 17 points to help the Lakers take the first game of six, 124-117. Julius (Dr. J) Erving led the way to the 76ers’ victory in the 110-94 de- feat of L.A. Magic Johnson com- bined his skill with Norm Nixon for the Lakers second win on their home court, 129-108. Two days later, the fans were again rejoicing with the Laker s 111- 101 victory. With the energetic home fans urging their team on, the76ers‘ destroyed Los Angeles with the score of 135-102, a 33 I point romp. Billy Cunningham played the best defense of his career while scoring 20 points during the fifth game. Falling behind early in the sixth game, the 76ers’ within three points of winning, and the near miss came with less than four minutes to play. One min- ute later, though, Andrew Toney fouled Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, giving the Lakers an easy chance to gain a large enough lead so that the Lakers won the game and the title by the score of 106-100. AMERICANS WIN ON BRITISH TURF AT WIMBLEDON Martina Navaratilova The competition blazed for four hours and 14 minutes. Nei- ther Jimmy Connors nor John McEnroe had to struggle to get to this final game. Now each struggled mightily to gain the championship. Connors won a tie-breaker in the fourth set, 7-5, and after breaking McEnroe’s serve in the third game of the fifth set, he went on to his sec- ond Wimbledon victory. The women's title went to Martina Navratilova, after a near loss in the second set to Chris Evert Lloyd. After Navratilova broke her opponent’s serve, she went on to win. Victories for Mar- tina continued when she and Pam Shriver took the doubles championship 6-4, 6-1 over Anne Smith and Kathy Jordan. The next day, July 4, Anne Smith and Kevin Curren won the mixed doubles title over John Lloyd and Wendy Turnbull. In the men’s doubles champion- ship, defending champions John McEnroe and Peter Fleming lost to Peter McNamara and Paul McNamee 6-3, 6-2 in an abbrevi- ated match played immediately following McEnroe's defeat in the singles final.

The years of practice paid off for Italy, as they once again gained the World Cup Title. West Germany was prema- turely given the title by the spec- tators due to the lack of confi- dence by the Italians because of a soccer bribery scandal two years into the games, in 1980. Thirty-eight players, coaches and managers were implicated in the scandal. One of those who was caught up in the trouble, Paolo Rossi, became one of the Italian heroes of the champion- ship game. Rossi scored his sixth goal in the second half, giving the Ital- ians the first goal advantage. The next two goals, both for Ita- ly. made West Germany realize that they had to mount some type of attack in order to win. When they finally did execute their plan, the game was already out of reach. The one goal scored by midfieldman Paul Breitner, salvaged some respect for his team. ISLAND FIGHTER JERRY COONEY CHALLENGES LARRY HOLMES Jerry Cooney was in no state to continue his challenge for the World Boxing Council heavyweight title by the 12th round. After receiving a jab to his left eye from Larry Holmes, his eye was closed. By the final round. Cooney was unable to connect with any punches and couldn't protect himself at all from Holmes' well aimed blows. A series of rights, one left upper- cut and a right to the head sent Cooney to the canvas. His train- er, Victor Valle, ran into the ring which signaled that Jerry Coon- ey’s bout was over. Many called Cooney the real- life Rocky having a record of 25-0, with 22 knockouts most of which were executed within the first five rounds. Holmes had de- fended his title 11 times, 10 by knockout, and had a profession- al record of 39 wins and no losses. Holmes was aware of Coon- ey’s knockout power and fought back with lightning fast jabs, which gave him the advantage. Late in the second round, Cooney received his first knock- down as a pro, but quickly got back up on his feet and retaliated with several good hooks to Holmes' head, putting him on the ropes. In the fourth, he backed Holmes into a corner with a powerful left to the head. Just as Cooney only had enough power to last until the fourth or fifth round, when most of his knockouts had occurred, Larry Holmes took the fight over in the fifth. Although Cooney was not totally unconscious in the 13th round, the fight was re- corded as a TKO. Victor Valle’s impulsive rush into the ring pro- tected Cooney from taking fur- ther punishment.

Her last battle, her bout with cancer, was fought with the fi- nesse and style that was so closely associated with her dur- ing her life. Her first motion picture break was in 1939, when she was 23 years old. Producer David O. Selznick informed her that un- less she thinned her eyebrows, changed her name, fixed her teeth and lightened her voice, she wouldn’t be a success. Her reply was, This is what you bought and this is what you're stuck with. Selznick settled for her natural look, and with her unchanged appearance, she por- trayed both a peasant role in For Whom the Bell Tolls and the role of a princess in Anastasia. Her role in life was as stormy as the ones she portrayed on stage. In 1949, she left her hus- band and daughter for Roberto Rossellini, an Italian director, and soon after, bore him a child out of wedlock. The G.S. Senate de- nounced her as a figure of power- ful influence for evil. The popu- larity she had in earlier days de- creased. but Ingrid Bergman’s desire to perform flourished. Bergman reached her full glo- ry in Hitchcock’s Notorious and even showed a rather suprising comic side in two movies, Indis- creet and Murder on the Orient Express, for which she won her third Oscar. To create harmony in the home is the woman's right and duty ... It should be a place where the family can find a sense of well being and strength, replenishment and renewal My Book of Flowers Grace Kelly. Perhaps this is what Grace Kelly tried to do all through her life-bring art and life together. For 26 years, she was known as Grace Kelly, an all-American Philadelphia girl who at 18, be- gan modeling hats. She co- starred with Gary Cooper in her first motion picture, High Noon. According to Alfred Hitchcock, he saved her from being type cast as a cold woman when she starred in three Hitchcock films. In the brief time span of five years, Grace Kelly made 11 films, achieved to Academy Awards nominations, and won an Oscar for her portrayal of the wife of an alcoholic, played by Bing Crosby in The Country Girl. In the life of an actress, attending prestigious film festivals, such as the annual Cannes Film Festi- val, affords the opportunity to meet famous and influential peo- ple. Among these people attend- ing this festival was Prince Rai- nier who offered Grace Kelly what was said to be her last and best role. Perratto. Pam 35, 81, 202 Perri.

His first successful play, The Glass Menagerie, initiated two decades of recognition. In 1947 he received a Pulitzer Prize for A Streetcar Named Desire; in 1954 he was awarded a sec- ond for Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. During his career, which was tragically ended on February 25, he was also a four time winner of the New York Drama Critics award. Williams also received the highest civilian award in the United States, the Medal of Free- dom, from President Carter. Wil- liams’ last successful venture was the Night of the Iguana in 1962. When his body was found in his New York apartment, it was originally thought that he had died of heart failure. An autopsy, however, discovered a bottlecap lodged in his throat. The world had lost a great playwright, one who was at times ranked with Eugene O’Neill as one of the two greatest American stage writers of all time. The image of Tennessee Wil- liams and his burning talent is likely to endure. Audiences are thrilled by his productions, and actors virtually devour his parts. A playwright needs nothing more to be accounted great. GOLDEN OPINIONS In his 48 years of acting, he made more than 80 films, not including plays and television. He was married five times and had three children. Many felt that he should have received more than one Oscar, but, in the climax of his life and career, Hen- ry Fonda received an Oscar for his portrayal of Norman Thayer in On Golden Pond. It was in this movie, perhaps his best, that Henry Fonda and his daughter Jane, renewed a father daughter relationship that deteriorated. Henry Fonda’s classic perfor- mances had been said to have a kind of healing quality; Tom Joad in the Grapes of Wrath, his portrayal of young Abe Lincoln: the cowboy in the Ox Bow Inci- dent where the character he played, just like Fonda as a 14- year-old, witnessed a lynching; Mister Roberts, the idealistic Navy officer, and the reasonable juror in Twelve Angry Men. After 82 films, Fonda stated, ”1 thank God . . . that I lived long enough to play the role of Nor- man Thayer. He died on August 12 after years of dedication. Raschko, Margaret 229 Rasher.

The music industry is one of the most pros- perous enterprises. Students do their contribution to the industry by buying records and tapes, decorative T-shirts, jackets, and buttons to show their support of their favorite groups. Movie soundtracks made the best seller list this year more than the past ones. Rocky III- The Eye of the Tiger by Survivor and Chariots of Fire by Vangelis became popular just like the movies that accompanied them. The Royal Philharmonic turned classical masterpieces into selec- tions of rock medlies in Hooked on Classics. The popularity of the Go-Go's continued to grow when they came to Mew York and per- No other duo in pop history ever made more than 17 Top 20 records. The Carpenters won a total of three Grammies and made a profit of $80 million in records and tapes. Their hit sin- gles include We've Only Just Be gun and Rainy Days and Mon- days.

Beauty and the Beat, fea- tured their top selling single We Got the Beat, stayed on the best selling list for many months. Pac-Man by Bunker Garcia was as popular a single as the video game was and Valley Girls, by Frank Zappa, captured the true spirit of those particular California residents. When walking through the Commons at 2:30, one heard best selling singles were playing to accompany the Dalerette s routines during their after school rehearsals. Gloria by Laura Bran- igan and the top selling single Physical, by Olivia Newton-John was heard pulsating through the first floor and invited those who remained to strike up a few bars of 1982 most popular tunes. Karen Carpenter, aged 32, died on on February 4, 1983 of an apparent heart attack. Al- though an autopsy failed to de- termine what had caused her heart to stop, doctors said that her battle with the dieters’ dis- ease. Anorexia Nervosa, may have impaired her health.

This is what the Nielsen ratings show and how the networks decide what shows to keep and what shows should be junked. Once again, 60 Minutes made the number one position of Niel- sen’s list of top ten shows. An- other CBS show M A S H, after 11 years of award winning enter- tainment, entered into its fi- nal season with their last show airing with a viewer audience that topped the Who killed J.R.? episode. Dallas still was rated very high on the chart when J.R. and Bobby battled it out for the ownership of Ewing Oil. The Jeffersons and Alice, CBS long running sit-coms, also made it to the top with many of the original characters still play- ing their roles. Tom Selleck and Gregory Harrison have become very popular due to the suc- cesses of Magnum, P.1, and Trapper John, M.D. On ABC, Too Close for Comfort was their top 10 sit-com followed by Hart to Hart. Networks this year have cued on the success of the mini-series such as Shogun, which was brought back this time the Japa- nese dialogue dubbed into Eng- lish. ABC took an expensive gamble when they aired The Winds of War, an 18 hour mini- series that depicted life during the crucial World War II years. Network gambles do occasional- ly pay off. Schell.

The following are the top grossing films for 1982: 1. E.T.-The Extra Terrestrial 2. On Golden Pond 3. Rocky III 4. Porky’s 5. An Officer and a Gentleman 6. Star Trek II 7. Poltergeist 8. The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas 9. Annie 10. Conan the Barbarian E.T. PHONED U.S. The mania swept the country. People were talking about 'him'. Movie theatres prospered and movie-goers got on lines one to one-half hour before showtime. Some who arrived late were turned away at the door. When people asked friends what movie they should see, they were told to go see E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial. A truly excellent movie, said Adele Hess, senior. Stephen Spielberg again has produced a movie that both young and old could enjoy. One of this year’s hottest holi- day gifts was E.T. paraphernalia. Not only did children receive these gifts, but adults also were captivated by the more sophisti- cated E.T. goodies. Shirts, but- tons and bumper stickers have been displayed everywhere re- minding those who had not seen the movie that that they had to see the all time high grossing movie. Senior Joyce Dworkin knew everything about E.T. be- fore she actually saw the movie. I knew E.T. was going to die, she explained. I was upset that my friends who had seen E.T. were telling me all about the plot. Many others also were criticized by their friends when they announced that they too had not seen E.T.

Somebody told me this movie was good. don’t think so. It would not be that bad if only I hadn t paid half my spending money for the week to see this turkey. I wish I hadn't even bothered going to the movies. The success of the first Rocky movie led to two sequels. The last, Rocky III was just as successful as the first. Another motion picture sequel, Star Trek II proved to be better than the original leaving an ending that opened up possibilities for the next Trek film. Two horror movies became box office hits this year. Polter- geist, another Steven Spielburg masterful production, made ev- eryone wonder about what they are really watching on T.V. Creepshow was an appropriate title for a movie that consisted of five tales of a living inundation of nature gone amok. The success of Porky’s and Fast Times at Ridgemont High was largely due to the fact that most moviegoers are high school students. Porky’s was centered not on high school life, but rather on the life of a group of students who took revenge against a bar owner. Fast Times centered on teenage life both in and around high school. The success of An Officer and a Gentleman showed that old fa- shioned love stories are still pop- ular. Tootsie, a love story with an unusual twist, has so far been the best comedy of 1983. “You know, maybe this movie wasn't so bad after all. As a mat- ter of fact, it was pretty good. ” t armfngdalf High. To H jnger. JerrtArtpfctrong. i n. John W ibtrg J Louie hn Gannon. cq h Buono ■in A.P.

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

On the other hand, there were times that made everything worthwhile. It turned out to be the right choice. After all— IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN Me YEARBOOK Four days at a workshop at Am- herst College in Massachusetts left 13 of the 18 HI-LIFE editors without any ideas on the subject of theme. After all. every year- book had to have a theme. It took a jack knifed tractor trail- er on the New York State Thruway, stranding the home- ward bound Greyhound bus in a four-hour standstill to turn what had begun as a joke into a serious idea, explained Judy Mitchell, Magazine Editor. We had fooled around with a few choices— McYearbook (since McDonald’s, where many staff members work is a regular topic of conversation) and Only Twice (from 1982’s theme of Only Once). The green theme’ had begun as a joke as well, a play on the school’s colors. The workshop’s coordinator, Colonel Charles Savedge, loved the idea. Sitting on that stranded bus, the more we tried to resist it, the more reasons we found to choose it,” she said. As the school year progressed, confidence in the choice became easier. As problem after problem cropped up, affecting the staff and the school as a whole, the idea that it was riot Easy to be Green was hammered home. First of these problems was the stalled contract negotiations. The obvious effect it had on the school became even more apparent to HI- LIFE staff members when some faculty members decided they did not wish their pictures, already taken, to appear in the 1983 edi- tion. The fact that those pages had been previously sent to Jos- ten’s to be processed made the request impossible, but the entire incident did not help student- teacher relations. To complicate matters, this had occurred just after the staff had run into a student protest over the new underclass section of the book. The addition of this section was not an easy decision to make. The amount of time spent alpha- betizing, sorting and laying out the pictures, after half the school knocked down our door to protest and one of our editors was almost beaten up, made me feel like may- be it had become more trouble than it was worth, stated sopho- more, Melissa DeSimone, Under- class Editor. All the work was re- warded though by the sentiments of many, like Jill Niemczyk senior, who felt I am glad they finally decided to do this. Now I will always have a photo of all the friends I made in high school, no matter what grade they were in. The 1983 staff had its share of problems. Last year we had over 80 staff members, including assis- tant editors for each section. We had less than half that this year, which meant many of us had to do almost an entire section our- selves. commented Ellen Mur- ray, Academics Editor. This lack of personnel, com- bined with the fact that this edi- tion is the largest HI-LIFE to date and is filled with the most innova- tive and complicated material ever attempted by a HI-LIFE staff, made meeting some deadlines dif- ficult. New and exciting methods for using color, graphics, and pho- tography were employed in every section,” explained Helen Gib- bons. Student Life Editor.

Staying up until 5 a.m. was not my idea of fun, but it had to be done if we were to complete our section on time,” said Student Life Editor, Laura Charchian. Of course, there were those times when it seemed as if all the teamwork in the world wouldn't be able to get the task accom- plished. We had two deadlines in the last two weeks before the Feb- ruary recess, and had over 128 pages due, noted Ken Schwinn, adviser. Then we had unforeseen difficulties with the Sports sec- tion. There was only a week left to pull together everything that was needed, while each day that passed meant another day over our deadline at the plant. I was amazed that it turned out as well as it did. It wasn't easy being an editor. Each of us had to make a choice between our jobs, school work, and other extra-curricular activi- ties, and our obligation as a HI- LIFE Editor, stated Neal Bier- man, Advertising Editor. Organi- zations Editor Denise Hughes ad- ded. For all the problems and ag- gravation, it has all been worth it, particularly for the friendships made and the sense of pride in a job well done. After working on three editions of HI-LIFE, I know that there is nothing better than the feeling you get when the book is finally published.

In an effort to avoid this situation, formal thanks must be is- sued. Without the help and understanding of the faculty and administration of Farm- ingdale High School, it would have been near impossible for us to have accom- plished our work. And without the ser vices of Nick LaMorte and the custodial staff, we would have been literally locked out and In the dark. Likewise, our professional photogra- phers. Dave Greenberg and Bob Blello. and the entire staff of the Greenberg- Biello Studio are owed our eternal grati- tude. The top quality of all their work. even the “rush” photos, and their under- standing in all situations was greatly ap- preciated. Our Josten's American Year- book Representative. Mark Stern, must be commended for his immeasurable pa- tience in dealing with all the difficulties we have had in meeting our deadlines. Also, our parents deserve a great deal of thanks for having the patience and under- standing to put up with the missed din- ners. falling grades, all-night layout mara- thons and skipped classes due to dead- lines. Their love, and occasional help typ- ing or writing captions, has been invalu- able. Lastly, the advisers. George Halliday. Bob Little, and most of all. Ken Schwinn, must be noted as being the backbone of the operation. They were always there, with a new idea, a helpful suggestion or simply to pick up the pieces when it was all falling apart. For doing all that they did. and for trying not to allow outside influences to effect their performance — thank you. Each editor has worked hard on his own section, but special words of gratitude must go to those who have given much of their time to do work other than their own. The loyalty, love and devotion we have all held for our work, even in the hard times and the small hours of the morning have made this book something special. To the staff—you all deserve eternal thanks and praise, and have made HI-LIFE 1983 something of which to be proud. -Joyce S.

Even before that, though, a sense of rebirth fell upon the school, with the contract set- tlement in January. After near- ly a year of strife, a smile was not the easiest thing to find, but as the tension caused by the situation abated, the bad feelings also began to slowly disappear. Field trips were re- sumed, signs of°prote t disap- peared, and It was apparent that the first steps had been taken on the road to normalcy. June 1983 did not see a complete recovery, and some believe things may nev- er return to the way they were years ago, but that too must be accepted as a part of Farm- Ingdale from now on. It wasn’t easy for Mr. Doug- las Begeal to take over for re- tiring principal John McLennan in the middle of a school term.
