I L L P L AY AND SOME WORK Good morning students, this is Dr. Kussin. Welcome back for another school year! I don't believe in rules for the sake of having them... Assigned lockers? Mew teach- ers? homework? Studying? Grades in gym? The harsh and unreal words seemed to fade and become indistinct. Students were already missing the unstructured, lazy, casual days of summer. Students' jobs varied from day-camp counselors to sales clerks to fast-food chain employees. Working at a day-camp was a great experience, said senior Michelle Galluzzo. riot only did I leam patience by working with children, but I also had my nights off and my weekends free to party! Time not spent working was often spent partying and going to the beach. I really got to work on my GONE EISniNG The shore at Bayville pro- vides a peaceful fishing spot.

It was cool to be able to lounge at the beach and also to practice and teach tennis, said Donna Hasley. I decided to keep my job because I like having the extra spending money for a Honda vacation, she added. Although the first day of school was universally dreaded, some students admitted that summer could get boring. Debbie Gecew- icz, junior, had her own reasons. The last day of school before vacation, everyone says. Let's get together this summer,' but no one does. Everyone has their own jobs with different hours so it never works out. I looked forward to the first day of school because I wanted to see my friends and catch up on the things we missed. I was so uncomfortable the first day, commented Gregg Kearney, freshman. I couldn't believe it came in the middle of a heat wave. As soon as the temperature lessened and the original shock of coming back to school was over, students generally settled into the routine. Sure, I missed summer, explained Julie Grudzinski, senior. But I'm going to have the best time ever! Tracy Grey TAKING A TAN On the sands of Tobay Beach. Kristina Ostman and Lori Lifson enjoy a Saturday afternoon. The beach was a popular place where students congre- gated. Summer Finally, after hoping for the right date, spending countless hours trudging through the mall looking for the perfect” dress, renting the sophisticated tuxedo and slick black limousine, and buying the corsage, the day was here. Girls enjoyed spending up to three hours taking their time to get ready. Patty Tallerine, junior, said, Getting ready for the prom is where all the excitement begins, and it's fun to take your time doing it.” But what about a guy? Does he find it time-consuming? Mo, not really,” remarked Kurt Sexaur, junior. Getting the top button buttoned on the shirt and buying your girlfriend a corsage are the only things that takes time.” After all the preparations had been made, the doubts began to rise. Was it worth all the fuss and money? Am I going to have a good time with my date? Nancy Licursi, senior, said, I think going with boyfriend is much better than with just a friend. The prom is very romantic and you can't enjoy it to the fullest if you don't have that special someone to share it with.” The day itself was rainy and dismal, the THE ICING ON THE CAKE riot only was It Michele Romanelli's birthday, but also Dr. Kussins wife's.

Darren McMahon and Jan- ine Paccione lead the dance to 'You’re the In- spiration. ' A N C E exact opposite of what everyone dreams their prom day to be. At home before the prom, the traditional taking of pictures was cut short because of the weather, but that only left more time to get psyched for the night ahead. Soon after, the parking lot of the Hun- tingtown Townhouse was jammed with li- mousines of every color. Inside, the dance floor was just as crowded with hundreds of couples getting professional pictures taken. There weren't many complaints about the food, and everyone seemed to really enjoy the band. Rich Migliaccio, senior, said, I was already having a good time dancing and being with friends, but when Michele Romanelli, senior class president, announced I was selected for Prom Court, that really made the prom great.” After the prom, couples flocked to the discos in New York City and Long Island, diners and the quiet settings of the beaches. The prom wasn't just a dance at night, it was a weekend of sharing fun with closest friends. Jennifer Arangio in the heat or the niGHT A slow dance lets a couple get close.

'The only thing I don't look forward to is the vandalism,” commented Stuart Weinberg. It's just so unnecessary.” Although it wasn't as bad as it had been in the past, it was still a problem. Some steps were taken to cut down on the vandalism within the school. The participants were not allowed to roam through the school during the time permitted away from classes. Although most kids felt like a privilege was being taken away, others agreed that it was for the best. One of the funnier groups was the nerds, who dressed in unmatched plaid suits and thick, taped-up glasses. Not to go unmention- ed was the centipede, which was composed of fourteen girls, each as a segment. Dressdown Day was a day looked forward to by most seniors. Besides the fact that they got a chance to miss classes, they got a chance to have a really great time with their friends. The day typified what most remember as a wild experience as seniors. Steve Kramer The Smurfs?! The nerds?! The Wizard of Oz?! The three blind mice?! What were all these people doing here? Of course, it was Halloween and with that meant Dressdown Day. Much care went into the preparation of costumes. Many stayed up late the night before because they didn't realize just how time-consuming it was. On the other hand, some students knewjust what they were going to be. Jim Recca, who dressed up as Elvis Presley, said, He's been my idol all of my life. Of course I'm going to dress like him. It's the way he would have wanted it.” On the other side of Dressdown Day was the vandalism that naturally accompanied SUPER PRIEHDS riot only did they portray the famed Hall of Justice Clan, but they're as close as any immortals.

Spirit Week The substitute teacher entered the school prepared for a rigorous day of dealing with unruly and hyper students. She did not, however, expect what awaited her. She was greeted by several male students who sported grass skirts and immediately leied her. Shocked, and about to denounce the school as a loony bin, she quickly walked to the Commons. Spying the numerous banners decorating it, she soon realized that it was 'Hawaiian Day ' part of Spirit Week. Relieved, she made her way to her first assignment. Spirit Week and Homecoming, sponsored by the Student Activities Council (SAC), were events of pure fun. Every day of the week of October 21, the students were encouraged to do something unusual to show school spirit and to support their class. OVEK EASY Spirit Week ended with the pep rally and Homecom- ing Dance in which stu- dents participated in the pizza eating and dance contests.

Stu- dents wore shorts, wild shirts, leis and even thongs to get into the spirit of Hawaiian day. Kicking off the week was Color Day. On Monday, each class was encouraged to don a specific color: green for seniors, blue for juniors, black for sophomores and red for freshmen. By wearing black, I wanted to get into the school spirit and show everyone that our class is the best! exclaimed Ana Gu- tierrez, sophomore. Over 2,000 students wearing T-shirts at the end of October?! Unusual? Yes, but on Tuesday, T-shirt Day , they were de riquir. Every type of T imaginable was represented- anything from concert jerseys to Ocean Pacific shirts. For some less spirited students T-shirt Day did not influence them. I didn't even know about it, said Leah Brady, freshman. I wore a T-shirt because it had Motley Crue on it. Wednesday was designated as Hat Day. Students wore hats in all shapes, sizes and colors, such as straw hats, baseball caps, berets, cowboy hats, safari hats and even an Australian bush hat. The best hat I saw was this baseball hat with a fox head on the front and a fox tail on the back. It was really cute, said Lisa Johneas, sophomore, (cont'd) Spirit Week Spirit Week guess who?

ED EGGSCtTEMENT (conr'd) Thursday, Hawaiian Day, was perhaps the zaniest one. Students came to school decked out in large floral prints, strands of plastic flowers, straw hats, sunglasses and a few brave students wore grass skirts and sandals. It gave me a chance to wear my favorite Hawaiian shirt without standing out like I usually do, said Sue Frake, junior. Friday, truly was Green and White Day which consisted of the pep rally, and the Homecoming Dance that evening. Every shade of green was worn in school that day. I hate green, but I wanted to show my support for Farmingdale and my school spirit, so I wore it, said Melissa Here, sophomore. Many organizations and clubs used the Homecoming weekend to help raise money by selling buttons, pins, green and white carna- tions, balloons and shakers which added to the atmosphere of excitement and color. Everyone agreed that watching fellow class- mates compete in such contests as pizza eating, peanut butter and jello eating, eat the string, and many others, sure beat going to seventh and eighth period. I was afraid of losing or looking like a jerk, but I was still excited about participating in the eat the string' contest, said Rosanne O'Brian, junior, as she wiped marshmallow off her face. The music was really good, and I had a great time with all my friends and my boyfriend. I can't wait until next year's dance! exclaimed Christine Merrit, sophomore. The whole concept of Spirit Week and Homecoming is an attempt to bring the school and the students together as one. We try to create an atmosphere of fun and set the mood for the year, said Robert Rose, SAC advisor. I feel that this was the most successful year ever!

Spirit Week — Match lighters? Prisbees? Beachballs? These items may not seem to have anything in common, but they do for those who have experienced a concert. Attending a concert of any kind is the ultimate high for music fans. Jones Beach Theater was a hot spot for the summer's amazing musical performers. Artists such as Tina Turner, Bryan Adams, Don Henley and Howard Jones came to the island to perform. Christine Jones, senior, said, I went to the Beach Boys concert, and it was great because people really got into it. Everyone was throwing beachballs around, and guys were dancing on armrests preten- ding they were surfing. “Reunited and it felt so good. Just like the words of the song, bands joined together for the incredible event of the summer known as Live-Aid. The excitement generated was unbelievable. Matt Lefsky, sophomore, who attended the concert said, “It was awesome. All those people coming together for a good cause. Rumors were widespread that the three remaining Beatles might reunite for this historic event. Unfortunately they did not, but Paul McCartney sang Let it Be. There were, however, surprise appearances from groups METALMAMA Many heavy-metal bands albums were la- beled with the warning that it contained explic- it lyrics dealing with sex and violence.

Neil Young teamed with Crosby, Stills and Hash. Peter, Paul and Mary did a number, and Bob Dylan performed his classic song, Blowin' in the Wind. The biggest reunions were the Who, who performed in London and Led Zeppelin, who played in Philadelphia. Performers of many different styles played for this huge relief project including such old stars as Paul Simon and Joan Baez, as well as today's popular musicians such as Power Station and Duran Duran. The Live-Aid concerts were the creme-de- la-creme of concerts for the summer, but there were several performances that featured indi- vidual top artists. Madonna and Bruce Springsteen set tick- et sale records with their performances at the Meadowlands and Madison Square Garden. Scalpers reportedly sold tickets for the “Boss' Hew Jersey show as high as $150. The music industry was a tremendous force in raising money for needy people. There have always been funds that one could donate to, but never was there a project on such a global scale as this.

Working takes up a lot of time, but getting paid is an attractive offer no matter how low the salary might be. Besides, what would a typical student rather be doing? Studying and taking notes on European history or giving up a few hours after school knowing that Friday means payday? This choice was made by hundreds of students as they sought after-school employ- ment. Getting a job wasn't as hard as it used to be. Going down Main Street or Route 109, one was bound to see a help wanted'' sign. Students were always in the need of money, but parents didn't always have that extra five or ten dollars they needed so desperately. Students who had their own jobs had the luxury of not having to ask Mom all the time for money to buy new clothes. Teenagers flocked to such places as Carvel, 7-Eleven and McDonald's searching for jobs for much-needed money. Money earned wasn't always money saved, though. These precious dollars were often spent on the necessities that every teenager had, such as jeans, movies and of course, records. Salaries usually began at $3.35 an hour. except for the lucky ones who were paid off the books. At most fast food restaurants, em- ployees could depend on a five to fifteen-cent raise about every four months or so. Julie Grudzinski, senior, said, It's hard coming from a long day of school and having to go to work, but the money I make from McDonald's helps pay for Christmas presents, ski trips, senior activities and saving for college. On the counters of stores one could have often found textbooks and homework paper floating about. It could be tough trying to balance homework, studying and a job. De- spite the hectic and erratic working hours teenagers were hit with, homework could be done. Lorren Becker, junior, who worked at Mid Island department store said, I do my homework on my breaks or whenever we re not too busy. It was difficult getting to jobs for those who didn't drive, especially in bad weather. Carpools with older workers seemed to work out best, having friends on the job was fun as well as convenient when it came to transporta- tion.

The band members and stage crew frantically rushed around backstage, getting equipment and instruments ready for the big moment. As the first band finally took the stage, shouts of enthusiasm filled the auditorium, and the third annual Battle of the Bands was under way. The battle was awesome!'' said Dave Perdie, sophomore. Many people agreed that this year's battle was the best of the past three. Roger Stankus, senior, stated, The bands have improved over the past three years.'' The crowd was much more in control as well. Last year people crowded around the stage and there was pushing and shoving. During this battle, however, people stayed seated most of the time, and when they did gather around the stage, they were much more organized. The six bands each having 25 minutes to play, performed music ranging from that of older groups, such as the Doors and Jimi Hendrix, to newer bands, such as Bon Jovi and Dokken. A few of the bands, such as Deep freeze and Tuff Luk, had the opportunity to play original compositions, as well as covers of popular songs. Audience members had varying opinions on their favorite bands. I thought that Ho frills (Boogie Band) was great ' said Terry McCormack, teacher. The outfits worn by the bands were very original and creative ' commented Miss Monique Calabro, biology teacher. Blackstarr, the only band to use synthes- izers played by senior Adam Semcken, emerged as the winners. They were also the only band to perform an instrumental solo. Many people complimented the intricate guitar solo performed by Craig Manelli, junior. The solo was played with a lot of feeling ' commented Anthony Setteducati, English teacher. Although there could only be one winner, most students agreed with Bari-Sue Kenyon, sophomore, when she announced to the audience at the end of the battle All of the bands were great, and each one of them deserved to win ' Dawn Steffen, junior, thought that it was very hard to pickjust one winner. All of the bands had something special about them.'' for some of the bands, there was always the hope for next year but the most important thing for all was just having a good time and enjoying themselves.

The night had arrived. The first Figures came onto the stage with their unwavering smiles and knocking knees, strut- ting to the beat of the music. Their confidence returning as the roars of approval came from the crowd and turning at points and showing off their outfits, they gradually began to enjoy the attention. In a few seconds it was over, and both relief and regret flooded the performers. Behind the successful night of the Fash- ion Show were months of hard work. First letters had to be sent out to stores asking to borrow their clothes and a planning commit- tee had to be elected. Senior Venessa Reese was chosen to be president and Lisa Young, Leslie Furr and Tracey Mitchell comprised the rest of the committee, then came the prob- lems of organization. We just got together and brainstormed,” said Venessa Reese. That's how we picked the specific groups.” The groups included springwear, headed by Venessa Reese and Crystal Blackman, busi- nesswear headed by Charles Jones, leather- wear headed by Lisa Young, semi-formal wear headed by Caterina Borzomi and Tracey Mitchell. The beginning meetings and rehearsals started out poorly. The first couple of meet- ings were hectic,” said freshman Sylvia Wick. We didn't start getting together until we were split up and practicing our routines.” The routines were changed repeatedly as were the songs. It seemed that as soon as measure- ments were taken and sizes were written down, they were lost. Attendance was bad, and although more dropped out or were kicked out, more people joined. The actual rehearsal times were also interrupted and delayed. People who came to watch the participants practicing often disrup- ted practice. Midterms interrupted the prac- tice even further, and many girls forgot their routines. In my group, we had just gotten everything down pat by midterms and then we had that intermission. It kind of cooled things down a bit. When we came back everything was kind of shaky,” said Lisa Young, junior. The Fashion Show brought excitement and fun to the school for a night. Although the audience stayed quieter than the show last year and fewer people attended, they showed their approval throughout the show. My friends made me join at first but I'm glad I joined. I wouldn't have missed it for any- thing,” said Julio Megron, junior. Debbie Mardenfeld ALL BUSINESS . Laura Ponce and Laura Masdovecchio display their businesswear.

In other words, a time without classes. I enjoy the holidays because we are off from school and 1 am able to get together with my friends without the hassle of having to do homework, said Jim Cage, sophomore. It seems that the holiday season which is enjoyed most is the Christmas and Hanukah vacation. According to Qinny Galluzzo, sopho- more, Christmas is a time for togetherness. Sometimes the holiday season brings together different sets of relatives. We spend Christmas Eve with my dad's side of the family and Christmas Day with my mother's family,'' said Gerilyn Smith, junior. Afterwards we travel upstate to my uncle's house. Hanukah is also a time of togetherness. Stephanie Lavine, senior, stated, I love Hanukah because it's one of the few happy holidays we get to celebrate. It's a happy time. Besides, you get a present for each of the eight days. Of course, Christmas and Hanukah gifts are a high point of the season. On Christmas Eve we open our presents at my grandparents' house at midnight, said Mike D'Angelo, freshman. The next morning, my sister comes over and we exchange presents with her. The holidays are also a time for feasting. Each year my relatives come over and we have a large dinner consisting of all types of fish and Italian food, said Janine Compitello, junior. Sean Kelly, sophomore said, Besides eggnog and a turkey, our family has yams, chestnuts, and stuffing. Hanukah and Christ- mas seemed to be the favorite holidays, but students expressed their feelings about others such as Passover and Easter. 1 like Passover because not only do I spend time with my family, but 1 get a chance to eat certain holiday' foods such as potato latkes , said Kelly Becker, junior. The only bad thing is that you can't have any type of bread. Even cereal or spaghetti! Easter was really special a couple of years ago when we were in Rotterdam, Holland. It was strange spending time in church away from family on a different continent, said Gina Cammarano, senior. The holiday season was a joyous time for believers of all faiths for several reasons. It was a time of family togetherness, a break from school, and as David Kutler, junior, put it, I enjoy Christmas because I like to see all the houses decorated with lights.

Debbie van hostrand gets a spe- cial present from Santa, her brother Howie, who has returned from college. It was a day like any other, yet something wasn't quite right. There seemed to be a mysterious force that compelled students to look out windows and at their watches. There was a sense of anticipation in the air, an aura that enveloped them all. Time stood still. It was Friday, a time to rejoice and enter for a short time into the realm of Heaven and unconditional freedom. A forty-eight hour break. But what to do with these Qod-given hours? Well, first one must naturally allot some time for sleep and rest. Some, however, donate more time than others to this pastime. Jennifer McLoughlin, freshman, stated, If I had my way I'd sleep until two in the after- noon.'' Medina Taylor, sophomore, agreed with her by saying, I sleep as much as possible and then, maybe, go to work later. OK, so we all love to sleep, but we can't lie in bed all weekend. Let's face it, the sun will eventually shine through the window, or mother will start to vacuum loudly! Some people however aren't so lucky. Edwina Haynes, junior, understands early hours. “Playcrafter rehearsals on Saturday mornings start at 9:30 and last anywhere until 8:00 or 9:00 at night. That pretty much takes care of my Saturdays. Another main place weekends revolve around was the local mall or shopping center. Michelle Galluzzo, senior, spent a lot of her time shopping with her friends at the mall. I love to stay in fashion so I shop often to keep up with the changing styles, she said. There were students who stayed close to home on the last day of their weekend. Sheryl Warnokowski said, I usually do what has to be done on Sundays and then I just hang out at home.

Cheryl Wama- Kowshi and Altea l mdan breakthe tension between scenes. Bringing about standing ovations, thunderous applause and putting smiles on faces both young and old is what Piaycrafters is all about. Rough rehearsal schedules, tiring hours of going over vocal music and dance steps are the underlying factors in putting on any musical. So why do it? What's the reward? Said Mina Bierman, sopho- more, It's the warm feeling of accom- plishment and satisfaction Piaycrafters get during a performance that makes it all worth it. This feeling' can only be understood by anyone who has ever been on stage; it's somewhat complicat- ed to explain; it's just something that has to be experienced. Blondel and Kiss Me Kate, the musicals put on by the Piaycrafters last spring and this fall were both a success. There was a definite contrast in the selection of the shows (chosen by director Ken Ulric) which proved to be a wise and beneficial factor in good ticket sales. The idea to perform Blondel all started with a pleasure trip to England. Ken Ulric, head of a tour group of students, took in a show in London's theatre district. That show was Blondel. After many months of anxious cor- respondence between Mr. Ulric and Tim Rice, the author and producer of Blon- del, a telegram from Mr. Rice confirmed that the Piaycrafters had won the rights to perform the show in the United States before it even went to Broadway. (They later learned that the actual premiere was in a small dinner theater in El Paso, Texas.) The idea that, as amateurs, they had a crack at the show before Mr. Rice gave the rights to professionals, made the Piaycrafters work even harder. They put in a phenomenal number of 156 hours of rehearsal time. However, the Piaycrafters felt that these rehearsal hours were very important. Until one week before the show opened, one question still eluded the cast as well as Mr. Ulric-would Tim Rice himself, attend the show? Finally, three days before the show, Mr. Ulric received a call from Mr. Rice's press agent who announced that Tim Rice would be in attendance on opening night. To their surprise, Mr. Rice was not the only one who emerged from a silver stretch limousine on that fateful Friday night. Alongside him was Murray Head, the singer who performed One Might In Bangkok, which is from Rice's recent musical Chess. Riding behind them, in another limousine was Michael Bennet, producer and choreographer of A Chorus Line and many other Broadway hits. Also in the sold out audience of approximately 1,000 people were reporters from local television stations and newspapers in- cluding the Mew York Times, which had run a feature article on the Piaycrafters production of Blondel in a previous Sun- day issue, (cont'd) a bird s Eye VIEW In the Finale, Fetruchio (Jim Retca) exclaims his love for Kate (Julie Qrud- zinski).

It was a bit difficult to put on this show being that scene changes were swift and quick due to the intricate show within a show plot, and also having to work in the shadow of the success of Blondel. Some of the Playcrafters felt there would never be a show like it, and would be impossible to top. Senior Julie Grudzin- ski said, Of course it wasn't easy rehearsing for this show so soon after Blondel but that didn't stop us from rehearsing just as hard for it. Julie's attitude along with the rest of the cast, crew, and pit s hard work and dedication resulted in yet another success for the Playcrafters.

School was the most colorful gathering of people in a communi- ty, and was the best place to find an example of all the latest crazes. The clothing was especially unique in the fact that everything - aside from bellbottoms and neon - seemed to be in style. Or at least everything was worn. The main reason these styles were around was because it took some people longer to catch on. Some kids set the trends and the others follow. But by the time they've caught on, the others have changed already, remarked Shari Steiner, freshman. Whatever the reason, every- thing did seem to be in. For example, skirts could have been worn at any length at all from the extra short tube skirt to the long knit shirts that hug the calves. The only rule that did seemed to apply was that these skirts must fit tight- ly. As long as it clung, it was all right. Shoe styles fit in the same category. All clothes seemed to have been worn equally well with both pumps and flats, (cont'd) THE ROAD TO RICHES LEA VE IT TO A UTUMN Southern State Parkway provides a fast The natural beauty of Farmingdale can be moving background for new and daring seen at Bethpage State Park.

This is the Jones residence. We can 7 come to the phone right now, but would like to return your call. Please lea ve your name and number and any message after you hear the beep. If the beep sounds for ten seconds, the remainder of your message will not be recorded. Here is the beep. BEEP! How many times have you heard that? Families were investing in answering ma- chines because they were not at home during the day. “I dislike these machines because I feel like a robot talking into them,” complained junior Rosanne O’Brien. “I don’t have one but I think that they are good because when someone calls you and you’re not home, you can always return their call,” said Mike Brownworth, sophomore. The newest gadget on phones was the autodial. All you had to do was hit a button and the number was dialed. Some phones had up to 24 different numbers in its memory. Other phones had call interruption. This lets you know when there was another caller on the line. ‘‘When my call is interrupted it doesn’t bother me if they get right back to me,” said Tracy Simon, junior. Teenagers spent an average of one and a half hours on the phone daily. ‘‘I don’t always get a chance to use the phone because my sister is always using it,” said James Karp, sopho- more. Since the breakup of the monopoly of Bell Telephone, customers have turned to different companies such as MCI, Sprint and U.S. Telecom. A major reason for switching was because the new companies offered long distance service at a cheaper rate, even though their rates were slowly climbing. Television has been flooded with commercials of phone companies battling each other for business. Customers delved into their pockets once more as the price of a pay phone went from ten to 25 cents. “That’s life. It really doesn’t bother me because everything goes up sooner or later,” said Carol Ortiz, junior. Telephones have come a long way since Alexander Graham Bell, but they still serve the same purpose. Communication is one of the keys to advancement, and without phones teenagers wouldn’t survive. So let your fingers do the walking and reach out and catch someone. Julie Sisto and Michael Kramer , FAR OUT AND EXOTIC PLACES After months of planning, trips to the travel agent, and hours of packing, the event of your life was finally here. Whether the break from school was for a week or for an entire summer, going away on vacation was certainly a better way to spend the time. “What I really like the most about traveling is not being at home. It’s great not having to get up early and you can spend each day in a different way,” commented sopho- more, Damaris Landi, who vacationed in Canada. Finding pleasurable experiences in an exotic land was one fantasy that came true with travel. Places as close as Florida or as far as Europe set the scene for a perfect time. Not every trip took place during the summer and the several vacations during the year made various opportunities for travel. Bob Cloonan, sophomore, said, “Our family usually goes to Miami during Christmas or Easter to visit relatives and to see Disney World. The beaches are great for just lying down and soaking up the sun.” In some ways, vacations caused unfavor- able situations which to some didn't add up to a good time. “When I went away to Hawaii we were gone for a long time, and in a way I missed home,” commented junior, Louise Oliver. Donna Celentano, freshman, added, “What I dislike the most about going away is the car ride which always seems to last forever. For some, being cramped in the back seat of a car with two other brothers or sisters for a nine hour drive to “paradise” didn’t always mean fun. Unfortunately, after finding the perfect place on earth you were always faced with the return trip. Bags were packed, airplanes were caught and the responsibilities of school became a reality once again. Michael Marmo CRUISirtG Vacations provide time for relaxation and fun. Students with tans returning from winter trips to the South were the source of much jealousy and envy from friends and peers. Communication Dear Mike: Dear Mike, I am a junior and I have to choose between two of my friends. Both friends, (I’ll call them Jim and Rob ) are very close to me, but I like Rob more than Jim. A friend of mine told me that both guys are really interested in me. I don't want to hurt Jim's feelings, but I want to go out with Rob. This is such a hard decision and I don't know how to choose one without hurting the other's feelings. In the Middle Dear In the Middle, Your problem isn't as hard as you've made it seem. The first instinct is usually the one to follow. Go out with Rob and see how it works. If Jim is a true friend he'll understand that trying to fake feelings for him would only make the situation worse. If you were as close as you claim I'm sure your friendship can continue without any problems. Dear Mike, I'm a sophomore and my friends smoke. At parties they occasionally do drugs. The guys always invite me to the parties with drugs, but I make up ex- cuses not to go because I don't want them to think I'm a loser. I'm hanging out less and less because of my fear of them finding out that I don't do these things. Sometimes I wonder if I should go to the parties and just smoke. If they found out I think it would be the end of our friendship. Ducking from Drugs Dear Ducking from Drugs, Don't give in! At least once in a person's life he she is faced with peer pressure. If your friends are really your friends they will respect your decision. And if they don't accept your deci- sion, they weren't true friends to begin with. Trust your first decision; and don't change to please your friends, it may be something you'll regret. Dear Mike, I'm a freshman and I think I'm old enough to start dating girls. The problem is my grades. My parents feel that if I'm not responsible enough to keep up my grades, I can't be trusted on a date. I really like this one girl in my grade and she likes me; I just wish I could ask her out. How can I get my parents to change? Not Making the Grade Dear Not Making the Grade, I think your parents are right on this one, grades come first. You're only a freshman; that means three more years of high school. If you can get your grades up this year you'll have three years of girls and there will be many more in college. In the long run you'll be glad you chose the grades first because a good career will make the girls come to you.

Friend ly 't wjs a good place to eat because it sold not only ice cream but hamburgers as well. The average single cone cost 90 cents. Which food stop is your best bet ? There are different opinions on this matter; some liked a slice of pizza, while others could really go for a hamburger and a huge hot fudge sundae. I reviewed the three most popular restaurants'’ to find out which is the most enjoyable to visit for high school kids. First stopped at Carlo's Pizza in Intercounty on Carmans Road. The pizza there was cheesy with a crispy crust yet not burnt. Others thought Rosemarie s on Merritt Road was the pizza place. Others preferred Capri Pizza in the mall or Lisa s Italian Kitchen on Broadway. Next. I reviewed Friendly 's (located on Route 109). The menu was more varied than that of fast food places, and you were waited on. Karen Klenovich. senior, said. ”Friendly's is more of a hangout and a better place to relax.” Many agreed that the service gets slow when it is busy. But high school kids keep going back for those strawberry Fribbles, and Friendly 's continues to at- tract the high school crowd. Last but not least. reviewed the ever- faithful Burger King. According to Mary Capone, freshman, kids go there because it ’s quick and you can get back to school fast. ” Just recently Burger King redid their decor by adding a self-serve beverage counter and a larger salad bar.

Academics Divider A.K.A.DEMICS Biology and Chemistry Labs were everyday occu- rances, but who had ever heard of English Labs ? During its first year in operation the Writing Center proved suc- cessful in helping students work more productively in their regular English classes. Teachers were available every period, including two full-time and two part-time teachers. One area, PSEN in Writing, was created for stu- dents weak in writing. The goal was to help students pass either the English Re- gents or RCT exam, needed for graduation. Heavy concentration was placed on writing business letters and persuasive es- says. Students built up their confidence by putting their work on display in the center. Mr. Curti, a teacher in the center, said “Our results speak for themselves. We have a very high passing rate, even the first time around. ” THE WRITE STUFF The Writing Center allows teachers to help students on an individual basis.

Matt Wildes has no trouble getting up and addressing his classmates. English students read books ranging from “Romeo and Juliet in their freshman year to “Hamlet in English 13 AP. Students not only read, but had vocabulary, grammar, and spelling as well. The new words and usages were put into the various compositions, essays, and letters students were required to write. Stu- dents often questioned the need for English, but problems in reading, writing, and gram- mar continually increased. Due to the growing writing problems a new program known as the Writing Center was established. The program gave more individualized help to those students in need. SAT Prep courses were made avail- able through the Reading pro- gram. These courses taught students how to relax and prepare for the SAT's. An esti- mated 50 to 100 point increase was seen after students had participated in the course. Other elements of the En- glish Department included Public Speaking and Drama. The objective of these courses was to help students over- come their fears of speaking to groups and getting up on stage. “I learned things which help make me feel more confi- dent in myself. I hope it will show when I have to get up on stage in front of the rest of my class for my Humanities proj- ect, said sophomore, Michael Murphy. Although students knew how to speak English, not all of them knew how to apply it correctly.

They were finished; the twdj credits in foreign language wele completed. It wasn't fair! Why did everyone have to get a third? Previously, all that was required for a Regents diploma was getting two credits in a foreign language. But times have changed, and beginning with the class of 1989, according to the newest Amend- ment to the Regents Qualifica- tions, three credits in a foreign language will be mandated. As the new law passed into effect, conflicting opinions were voiced. Rids are having enough trouble passing English ' said Ernest Prairie, french teacher. They don't need the added pressure. On the other hand, James Dugan, Spanish teacher, said. We are becoming a bilin- gual country; adding a foreign language stipulation is worth- while. Regents requirements were just one of the several changes in the foreign Language Department; current events and culture were covered in depth more than ever before. Mrs. Vita Wayne, french teacher, said, Although these were always a part of the curricu- lum, I am making a greater effort to incorporate current news events and contemporary issues into the advanced level courses. Besides this there have been more out-of-the-classroom learn- ing experiences. This year we've been on all types of field trips. My favorite was seeing a movie in french at Stony Brook, re- marked Debbie Mardenfeld, fresh- man. With additions like field trips, current events and exploring cul- ture, maybe an extra year of a language wasn't so bad.

LflMOUR EST A.K.A.DEMICS Coming to a new land, where no one knew you and you knew no one, was a tough situation that some students had to ad- just to. Mrs. Marta Perez helped these students adjust to their new environment. Students from countries ranging from India to El Salva- dor and China to Turkey were all placed in a special class for one period a day. This class, known as English for the For- eign Born (EFB), was designed primarily to enhance the stu- dents' basic understanding of the English language. Sharya Bhatt, freshman, said, I already knew how to speak English when I came here from India; now I’m just learning the correct grammar. Because of the many complica- tions in the English language, these students had to develop much patience and concentra- tion. COMO SE DICE? EFB was a difficult class to teach because of the varying proficiency levels of the foreign students. Club International members helped foreign students. Foreign Language Time Flies r™1 :30 AM -Tfre Flying Hun goes on in the packbround and you're sitting, ii rmdering. When will I be finished with this stupid social studies term paper. Stop worrying. You could have it worse. The social studies department made some radical changes in its course offerings and format since the days of ‘ The Flying Nun.” Its offerings have become so widely varied that it was hard to pick a course that did not at least some- what interest a student. From humanities 9 through humanities 12, students have been able to receive background on history and literature from the beginning of time in the Far East and Europe up to the present in the complete world, humanities 9. a new course offering, appeared after several years of planning. The two teachers, James Gordon and Mrs. Norena Soumakis. were “uniquely qualified” to do the job according to department chair- man Ivan Krakowsky. Finding the right pair of teachers took a great deal of time and effort. The seniors left high school before the start of the major changes in the social studies program. Seniors were required to take at least three and one-half years of social studies, and start- ing in the 1986-87 school year, this number will rise to four full years. Course offerings for this final year included economics, sociology, and World of Work”, as well as humanities 12 and European history A.P. Most stu- dents seem to have enjoyed their last year of social studies. Senior Sue Gemheimer said, “World of Work was very informative; we learned many valuable things such as how to do our taxes.” So while you sit around feeling sorry for yourself, just think When will this stupid show be over?” Drew Saur OnniCHIWA WEBERS An Alhla Rice and Dean Monitto explain Kabuki theater to Mr. Weber's class.

Social Studies mm ACADEMIC ACTIOH 11� 1 «SPECIAL ED. a Another Road • n the 1970's students were mgre self-directed; they wanted a different learning atmosphere. Uiese students were provided with the Informal School, a school designed to give students the more personal experience they were searching for. As the school population dwindled and the years passed students began to show different needs. The enroll- ment in the Informal School soon became non-existent and stu- dents who were having problems with school were in need of help. Paths to Achieve Goals in Edu- cation (PAGE) was established for students who may have had an average or above average aca- demic status, but just had trouble adjusting to school. Whether the problem was cutting class, having trouble getting to school on time, or problems interacting with other students, you were a candidate for the PAGE program. Teachers think that we get away with every- thing, but we work just as hard as everyone else except that it's on an individual basis,'' said Anne- marie Capuano, 12th grade stu- dent and representative for PAGE. On the other hand there were students who had special prob- lems which sought the need of help, help not provided through school or the PAGE program. In order to be in this Special Educa- tion Program you had to be rec- ommended and go through sever- al testing programs. The Commit- tee on Handicapped (COH) was involved in the selection process. In order to be enrolled in this program students had to have a learning disability, emotional problem, below average grades, or a physical handicap. These students went on to receive the personal attention and support they needed to make it through high school. Hot all of these students had low IQ's, only prob- lems which went on to hinder their right to a successful education. Hot all students had the need for these types of programs, but the need was present in some students. PAGE and special edu- cation were two completely differ- ent programs for completely dif- ferent students. The full under- standing of the purposes of these programs was important to the students involved as well as those not involved. A lot of people in the high school don't know PAGE exists, and many who do don't think it's worth it. said senior Annemarie Capuano.

A.K.A.DEMICS When you needed someone to confide in about school or per- sonal problems you could go to your guidance counselors. They were always there to help you fit that extra class into your sched- ule or get you out of that one class that you couldn't survive any longer. Two counselors were assigned to each grade and you kept the same counselor from your soph- omore through your senior year. This provided for a much more personal relationship and pave the students a chance to build up a special trust between them- selves and the adviser. Caroline Damo, sophomore, said.' ‘ You can confide in them for personal advice as well as all of your school problems. For sen- iors the counselors were a major part of the college selection pro- cess. Whether you needed help on college applications or just deciding what colleges to choose you could find a lot of needed help in the guidance office. IT WASN’T ME!

Naturally I can't expect you to like me. Whom can I expect to like a test? It's hard to accept yourself when no one else even gives you a chance. The only ones I can turn to are my relatives. It's like being trapped within yourself. My life is so humdrum. Year after year different students ponder over my features. The only optimistic thought is that each day I'm looked at through new eyes. Don't feel too sorry for me; my relatives can comfort me. They've actually been through it, whether it be my parents, the double period physics and AP history tests, or my siblings, the calculus and AP chemistry exams. Don't get me wrong, there are tests both harder and easier than I. The PS AT, SAT and ACT exams start hearts pounding harder because of the fact that they are placed on your records for colleges. Then there are the English and Spanish tests who never get to reach the worst torture. I can always tell when you get really nervous. Your leg is constantly bouncing and you fidget as if you really expect to get comfortable in one of those school desks. Experience has taught me how to classify you test tak- ers; there is the pen chewer, nail biter, hair twirler, knuckle cracker, pencil tapper and lastly the paper crumpler. Some of them just don't care as they adorn me with rock groups and hearts filled with their newest love. But I know some of them really do care. Tears begin to fill their eyes and I hear them mutter under their breath. Why did I have to go out last night. Just another half hour of studying could have helped me pass this stupid test. As the frustration mounts, the students begin to crack. I get torn, crum- pled and called the worst things imaginable. I don't mean for people not to like me; I'm really only trying to help them. I hope I've made you realize some things about tests. Don't worry about them. It is only your future that is on the line. Danielle McCarthy • HANDOUTS.

The SAT exam tortured the sound- ness of the juniors who were taking them for the first time. Those who were nervous, however, could relax knowing they could take it again the following year Test Pressures The Sweatshop • t used to be the most widely and most often cut cfess. If teachers had been more strict about students who straggled in late each period, they would have run out of cut slips in a week. Even the most responsible students tried to slip by with as little effort as possible. However, all of that changed. Under the new rules, physical education became more of an education than just time to relax. The physical education de- partment instituted a strict system designed to encourage students to participate more in gym. Instead of receiving a satisfactory or unsatisfactory grade, everyone worked for a numerical grade. Attendance policies were tightened also, they required 85 percent atten- dance, which, if not met, obli- gated the student to make up however many days he or she had missed. This program naturally drew complaints from the student body. It's not fair to people who are not athletically inclined, said Carmelita Tavema, junior. Along with objections about the tougher rules were disap- pointments concerning the va- riety of sports. Gymnastics and wrestling topped the list of courses most wanted but not given. They had wrestling in Howitt, but I haven't seen it here except for the team, complained Jeff Kase, sopho- more. The most unpopular course, as usual, was swim- ming. It was disliked especially by the girls, who found it difficult to dry their hair and re- apply makeup within the ten minutes allotted for changing. Lisa Barone, freshman, said, Swimming is okay when the water's too cold and you don't have to swim. Amid the changes there were some sports that were still popular such as football and archery. Tennis was often the course that most freshman girls ended up taking, but Jennifer Arangio, sophomore said, 1 always wanted to leam to play tennis. It's pretty cool. Physical education was not one of the well-liked mandato- ry courses. Yet with more and more changes, it may turn out to be the best-attended and most-enjoyed class ever ... someday.

A.K.A.DEMICS Students were keeping a close watch on their absences this year because of the new 85% attendance policy. A maximum of 15% was allotted for students to be absent from class. Anyone who exceeded this amount received an in- complete and was required to retake the class. “The attendance is too strict because some people get sick more than others. If the work is made up the 1 absence shouldn t count against the 15% total, said sophomore, Neil Cohen. The only subject counted by mark- ing periods was gym because each time there was a new teacher. One excuse which was not counted against stu- dents was any school field trip. The policy proved a suc- cess as student attendance increased. TOO MUCH TIME ON MY HANDS Due to the new 85% policy, students were forced to pay close attention to their absences from class.

A.K.A.DEMICS When you had a full schedule and no time to grab something from the cafeteria, the Green and White Shop came in handy. As you ran from the science rooms down to the business wing you could hear your stomach growl- ing. You wouldn't have made it through typing if you didn 't stop. So once again the doors to the munching , buying and selling of candy, flew open. Ricky Rodriguez, junior, said. “It’s easier than going to the candy store in the morning.' Students didn t realize the work that was put into taking inventory and running the Green and White Shop. They were just grateful for something to guide their stomachs through the next class. SELLING SOME FUN Besides being a place for buying candy and school supplies, the Green and White Shop was used for just hanging out. While working at the shop. Richard Perillo.

Ordinary sounds from an ordi- nary office, you might assume. Well, not quite. What could all this activity have been besides an ordinary day for business stu- dents? Due to the predicted increase in job openings for computer pro- grammers, accountants and other business-related fields, the impor- tance of taking at least one busi- ness course was heightened. The business courses prepared students for their personal use as well as for their futures. Mrs. Phyllis Cohen, typing teacher. stated, I feel it is important for all students to take a business course because whether they are college-oriented or not, they can benefit from the class.'' Students had quite a variety of courses to choose from, including data pro- cessing, bookkeeping and ac- counting. Other courses, such as office practice, business typing and communications, gave stu- dents a basic idea of business procedures. ’ This gives me a general idea of what business is all about, said junior Lisa Leh- man. Two new classes were offered: personal business management and college business manage- ment. Students who took these courses learned to develop plans which helped them plan personal or college finances. This turned out to be very helpful in figuring out financial aid, taxes and other expenses. A new use for business skills was manifested in a type-a- thon. Students raised money for leukemia patients by getting sponsors to donate money for each word they typed during spe- cial timings. Sophomore Julian farrell said, Tm all for it. Whatever purposes the courses served, whether personal or ca- reer interests, the students bene- fited. I have an advantage over other students because taking a business course could enable me to get a better job, commented junior Donna Myers.

EEFinG THE BOOKS STRAIGHT Accounting students must learn to keep accurate records of numbers and learn to manipulate them properly. Kelly Joyce practices keeping her books in order. Business A.K.A.DEMICS From biology to American History, students could be found getting various types of extra help. Teachers as well as students sacrificed their time before, after, and even during school, in order to help students who were having trouble in class. Honor Soci- ety set up a tutoring program which enabled students to go to the second floor of the library where a member would be waiting to help them any period during the day. Students never know what subject they'll be tutor- ing in until the person arrives for help. Junior, Jennifer Bra- dy, said, “That's the scary part. I'm so afraid someone will ask me about something I don 't know. If students felt uncomfortable going to their peers for help, teachers could be found in their classroom during free periods or on hall duty. It didn't matter which method students chose, they were always given a chance to improve if they were willing to take it. HELP, I NEED SOMEBODY! Students involved in the extra help program devote time during free periods or after school to assist students who are having trouble in classes. Stuart Weinberg chooses to use the library to help Chetan Sati and Marc Broder in Trigonometry. Math A Piece of 7T • unior year! The last re- quired year of math in the re ilar Regents sequence.

The program was instituted a few years ago, but it took time for it to be the only math offered. This prob- lem arose because geometry and algebra were being taken by students in honors math. One class period of the new sequence covered a little bit of all three courses. The program was designed to help decrease the regents failure rate of the individual courses. Sophomore Camye Less- man said, “Math isn't too bad if you get a good teacher. It was hard for students to find a teacher who could make math more interesting, with hun- dreds of formulas and number usages being thrown to them each math period.

Seniors may have ventured into the world of pre-college computer courses such as Scientific Programming 3 and 4. In which they experimented with the Pascal language. Other students used the BA- SIC language, to gain an over- view of computers. There still remained stu- dents who weren't interested in math or computers. Confu- sion was the best description of any math course for these students. This view was held by Adam Semcken, senior, who said, “The confusion ra- diant equals sleep over gibber- ish squared.

A typical dilemma faced by students was whether to study, cheat or fail. You were probably tempted to cheat, which be- came an easy alternative. An- other problem was if you were asked for a test answer, should you give it and be in with the rest of the class, or be an outcast? Students who liked to be mem- bers of the crowd didn't mind giving in once in a while. Soon “once in a while turned into always. and the person who gave the answers was cheating just as much as the person who asked for them. Vincent Lyons. American history teacher, said, Cheating is like a plague in the system. Students do it so casually. They act like it's perfectly acceptable. And why shouldn't they when stores sell Cliff Monarch notes which re- duce boring hours of reading 500 page novels to $3.25 spent on 40 pages of a condensed ver- sion. Not everyone cheats on tests, but students may not even real- ize when they're actually chea- ting. Copying homeworks or labs and getting answers from stu- dents who already took the test or older brother's and sister's tests seem like short cuts, but they are cheating. Some even venture far enough as to steal tests. Sophomore Al Puccarelli said. I once failed, even though I cheated, and only because someone stole the wrong test. Teachers believe that nothing can be done to stop cheating because of the student's opin- ion. where there's a will, there's a way. Ingenious schemes are set up in order to cheat, wasting time which could have been used to study. Who would have thought that a cough could represent a lumber and that a tap on the desk could be the answer? An average student's opinion was summed up by sophomore John Passanante. who said, Cheating is like eat- ing prunes; if you don't do it. you won't pass it. Danielle McCarthy Shortcuts The PCBs •X� he room was filled with udents intently interested i Avhat they were doing. Whether it was measuring the gravity of the earth, dis- secting grasshoppers or di- luting hydrochloric acid, sci- ence labs were a break from the normal class routine. In his second year as sci- ence department chairman, John Reichhold added courses which he hoped would interest the students. Unfortunately the meteo- rology class was cancelled due to lack of student inter- est,'' said Mr. Reichhold, but the large array of courses provides something for everybody.'' hot everyone had the same enthusiasm as Mr. Reichhold. You either enjoy it or you don't; there is no in between, insisted Caroline Damo, sophomore, who looked forward to swimming class rath- er than her chemistry lab. There were, however, stu- dents who did more than neces- sary for the science department. Such a group was the Lab Squad run by Mrs. Lucille Meyerson, lab technician. The Lab Squad was a group of students who volun- tarily gave up a free period to assist in preparing the materials for the science classes, riot all members were interested in a science career. Andrew Ger- maine, freshman, helped out because I liked having a place to hang out and I could use the refrigerators to keep soda cold.'' Another aspect of the depart- ment was the Special Topics Class. This series of three mini-courses for juniors and seniors included ecology for half of the year and oceanogra- phy and human genetics for one semester. Whatever your interest was you could find something to do in the science department. • Physics, Chemistry, Biology Kathy Gillan T ' T iriD IT UP AND WA TCH IT GO Adam Semcken and James Kroutch take time out to do a little experiment- ing of their own.

Besides retaking courses, sum- mer school was used to get rid of courses such as health and driv- er's education in order to leave room for more electives the fol- lowing year. Acceleration was also possible through summer school. Students skipped their junior year by taking English and going right into the senior year. During the six-week term, stu- dents re-experienced the year 's work as well as midterms and finals. Concentrating on impor- tant tests during the heat and humidity of summer was not easy. Kelly Boyle, senior, said, 'V didn't like summer school too much but wanted to graduate with my rightful class (1986). Summer school did not appeal to the average student, but for those who couldn 't pass the class, it was good to know that there was a second chance.

It was the single violin crying softly, then crescen- doing into a despondent wail; it was the aspiring artist sketching, then frowning, crumpling up his work and beginning again; it was the new rock group's lead vocalist learning those magical methods that would put the song that was constantly playing in his thoughts on paper. The art and music courses tried to give these experiences to the students. Each department fo- cused on taking a student's natu- ral talent and pointing it in the right direction. Before taking any elective in art, a student had to complete studio art, which offered a sampling of each of the various artistic me- diums, such as acrylic and oil painting, drawing and pastels. Students who went further in art could pick from a vast array of courses including advertising, drawing and painting and even advanced placement drawing. Whatever the choice, the goals of each student were reached. The art courses have broadened my sense of style, especially in draw- ing and painting,'' commented Donna Cassaro, senior. I've learned how to recognize and use different styles in art.'' If a person's talent was musical, he or she could also find a wide variety of programs to help write and perform music successfully. Music theory consisted of learning the construction of scales and chords and how to write, trans- pose and sight-read music. It is a very profitable course that any- one can use at all levels of music,'' said Mrs. Mary Allison, music theory teacher. Orchestra, chorus and band were dedicated to performing at two concerts during the year and also playing at Hofstra University and local elementary schools. All groups also competed in the New York State School Music Association festival (NYSSMA). In order to accomplish this, weekly rotations were held that broke the groups into smaller segments so they could rehearse and smooth out problems easier. Rotation can be hard, said Stacy Green- berg, freshman. Sometimes you'd be singled to play some- thing, and it was embarrassing if you couldn't do it. Whether a student liked to com- pose or perform, there was a course to take from chorus to concert band, from theory to wind ensemble. There was an even wider range of freedom in the art department. Variety truly became the spice of life for all the aspiring artists and musicians. Sandra Mardenfe d ub it on After having inked the top of her silk screen.

The music and art depart- ments tried to aid students in developing their artistic talents, but for some it just wasn't enough. Students who sought greater skills took private les- sons. Interests varied from piano playing to painting. Sophomore Michael Mitchel said. “I've been taking private guitar lessons for two years. I started because my friends played instruments and were forming bands. Now that I can play I've formed my own band called Rampage. All of this proved that if the desire was there, somehow, some way. people would find a way to enrich their love for the arts. PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT Tracy Grey and Debbie Gecewicz practice.

A.K.A.DEMICS Students who excelled in their classes found Honor Society a useful way to share their talent with others. If you completed your sophomore year and maintained an 89.5 average you were eligible for an Honor Society application. Otherwise you were required to have an 88.5 average to join as a junior. Once you were accepted, the induction, a beautiful candle-lit ceremony in which students took an oath of service, was held. The Honor Society had bake sales, participated in the Special Olym- pics, helped tutor students and donated food to needy families on the holidays. Besides reaching for a position in the Honor Society, students could strive for the honor or merit rolls. In order to obtain a position on the merit roll you had to have an average above 84.5 and above 89.5 to be on the honor roll. Michael Kramer, senior, said. It is rewarding after having worked so hard all marking period long. Your high academic status could be revealed through the Honor Society, or perhaps seeing your name on the honor or merit roll was enough satisfaction.

More and more girls have been taking courses in industrial arts than before. Senior Pat Diecidue said about home economics, It's a really interesting class because we learn all about different types of foods. Some other concepts taught were sewing, child care, interior design, marriage and family life Mrs. Sylvia Solomon, home economics teacher, said, Most of the boys in my classes did very well. The boys didn't mind working with the girls; they last orr dering metals In shop classes requires great care and precision as well as many safety precautions. George Reichle has to wear goggles as he works to complete his plant holder. rather enjoyed it. On the other hand there was shop. There weren't quite as many girls as there were boys, but the girls were able to adapt as well as the boys in home economics did. Will Merrins, junior, said. There are two girls in each class and they are just as good as the boys. The atmosphere in the shop classes was very relaxed, as in the home economics classes. Everyone fools around, said senior Chris Justus. A common reason for taking a shop class was that a career in industrial arts could be lucra- tive. Shop teacher Mark Piven said, If the students are serious about a career, taking shop is really helpful. Other students took it to fill up their schedule or because it was an easy credit. Students were able to work on almost anything they wished in a variety of courses from wood- shop to print shop. While stu- dents in woodworking turned out such projects as bookcases and stools, print shop students were able to make business cards, silk-screened designs on T-shirts and other printed ar- ticles. The mix of the sexes in differ- ent courses seemed to work out. Both boys and girls found as- pects in each course that were enjoyable, especially cooking in home economics, where every- body eats each delectable mor- sel they make.

J UST A BUS RIDE AWAY % ready (earn it aft, you had to he the iere New York City, an enor- mous conglomeration of places filled with hustling, bustling people. The different sights, sounds and smells of the city attracted most peo- ple visiting. New York City was a popular field trip choice because of the fact that it offered a totally new atmosphere in which to learn. Museums, theaters and great architectual works drew classes to the streets of the Big Apple. After the busi- ness part of the trip was over. South Street Seaport was a hot place for all. The Seaport had an extension this year which included new clothing stores as well as toy stores with stuffed animals. There were also several food mar- kets and eateries. All types of fish, or just pizza and a glass of Coke were among the foods which made South Street Seaport a popular place to stop for lunch or dinner. The Humanities 10 classes were among the big trip- takers to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Zigfeld Theater and the annual Christmas shopping spree. Christine Gosline, sopho- more, said, “After shopping at Macy's and seeing the Christmas tree, we had to walk to the restaurant. It was raining that day and by the time we got there we were soaked. In the Humanities 10 classes trips were suggested and organized by the stu- dents themselves. After the hassles of planning, most stu- dents were at odds on what to wear. Something comfort- able and conservative or something wild and extrava- gant! Humanities 11 classes ven- tured to Rhode Island to visit some of the famous mansions located there. Junior Jennifer Brady said, “The houses were magnificent, but after six hours on the bus I was a little bit tired. Some classes prefered to stay right here on Long Island. Mrs. Feuer's Contemporary Legal Issues classes made trips to court houses all over Long Island. This helped the students see how what they had learning in class was put to use. Field trips made learn- ing all the more enjoyable because you didn't have to sit at a desk for six hours. Whether you stayed in New York or ventured out of the state, you got a better un- derstanding from that real, hands-on experience. Danielle McCarthy Assunta Gaglione Field Trips Here and There ho would have thought that actual hands-on car r framing could begin in the junior year of high school? Tor some students, a vocation- al education program started them off on their careers. Stu- dents could spend half of their day in classes and the other in career training. While students sat in home economics class, others were in training for a food service career. Junior Victor Mauro said, When I get out of school, I want to open my own restaurant.” These career-training pro- grams provided courses for those interested in nursing, cosmetology, dentistry, land- scaping and numerous other occupations. Any passing stu- dent was eligible for place- ment into one of these pro- grams. The only requirement was the completion of the sophomore year for enough credits. Director of Guidance, Leonard Marino, said, The occupational education pro- grams are extremely worth- while. Some kids really get a chance to explore a career and make some important deci- sions. Students received personal experience in taking real den- tal X-rays, sterilizing beds, regulating intravenous and taking apart and fixing air- planes. In some cases stu- dents even made some extra pocket money. Tonya O'Don- nel, junior, said, It's fun com- ing here because you get to wait on people and keep the tips.” Some students weren't ready to make a career deci- sion by their junior year, but for those who did, the experi- ence got them off to a great headstart.

A.K.A.DEMICS Chemistry, earth science, biology, and physics aren’t going to help someone in a law enforcement career. Just the same, algebra, geometry and calculus won't do a jour- nalist much good. High school tries to do its best to prepare students for their future by giving them samples of vari- ous fields. Therefore, for stu- dents who have already cho- sen a career, some high school courses prove a waste of time. After taking required courses, students usually had room for one elective, which they could use to prepare for their career, but should students be allowed to take only those courses that would benefit their future? “The sciences, like biol- ogy, are irrelevant to the com- puter field,” said senior Patty Angwin. No one can decide which courses are best for you, and the high school program tries to give you an overview of almost every field imaginable. Well, it looks as if all those boring classes of chemistry and geom- etry will still remain filled with students. I DON’T CARE While trying to figure out why he has to take chemistry.

The unique Guitar Club was the creation of Anthony Settedu- cati, English teacher. A club for guitarists lets Kids get together to share ideas and techniques ' he said. Mr. Setteducati, as well as professional guitarist John Gatto provided instruction. However, the Guitar Club was only one of five new clubs formed to widen the range of extracurricular oppor- tunities for students. Lawyers, bailiffs, plaintiffs, de- fendants, witnesses ... members of the new Law Club, led by Blanche Feuer, were involved in role playing as these individuals. Participating in mock trials helped me learn my rights ' said senior Anne Pfleiderer, and knowing my rights, I know how to protect them ' The new Italian Club strove to widen students' understanding of Italian culture. Led by Frank Fra- talone, Italian teacher, the club had Italian guest speakers, visited Italian restaurants and celebrated holidays Italian style. Also, mem- bers had Italian penpals, which let them learn firsthand about teen- age life in Italy. Although the Theater Club died about a couple of years ago, renewed interest in theater of students sparked its rebirth. The club gave students the opportuni- ty to see plays and musicals regu- larly at group rates. The formation of the Games Club provided students with a place to find partners and experi- ment with new games. Led by social studies teacher John Con- roy, the recreational club met biweekly. I'm glad the club was formed, said senior Walter Alva- rado. It gave me a chance to relax and escape reality for a while. The creation of these clubs brought interesting new oppor- tunities to students. They gave them a chance to showcase their talents, widen their horizons and simply enjoy themselves.

Sure, as a child the answer was easy; a nurse, an astronaut or a fireman would suffice, but as students became more mature, they real- ized that it was time to begin making some serious decisions. Some clubs helped make these decisions easier; they were Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA), Future Secretaries of America (FSA) and Future Teach- ers of America (FTA). The basic goals of FBLA were to develop competent, aggressive, business leadership and to get students involved in the American business enterprise. The busi- ness-oriented members entered competitions, and the officers at- tended a conference in Rochester, Hew York in December. The Rochester trip was excellent. It really prepared me for the state business competitions in April,' said senior Paul Burghardt, FBLA president. FBLA, advised by Mrs. Qigi Michaels and Herbert Yengel, chairman of the business depart- ment, also invited guest speakers to talk about their occupations or certain aspects of business. “FBLA has been a valuable learning expe- rience for me and has helped me decide what I will pursue after high school ' said Jeanie Leung, se- nior. What would a business person be without his secretary? “Proba- bly lost, kidded Randi Heigebom, junior. “I joined FSA because I had already taken typing and short- hand, and I wanted to further my secretarial skills.'' FSA, advised by Mrs. Georgina Binder, not only was a goal-oriented club, but also a social club. Fundraisers were held to provide scholarships for stu- dents to attend secretarial school, and social services and charity were vital parts of the club's activi- ties. Mrs. Carol Swenson was moti- vated to organize FTA because she felt that “there is a great demand for teachers because so many are retiring ' Students in this service organization advanced their aspi- rations by tutoring students with learning disabilities. “Someday I want to teach America's youth; to shape and help their minds to grow and to broaden their hor- izons ' said Roseanne O'Brien, junior. Students in FBLA, FSA and FTA acquired skills that they would need, made friends and displayed humanitarian efforts by helping their fellow students.

A MATERIAL WORLD A performance of Material Girl is successfully completed. The Dal- erettes were always able to create enthusiasm in the crowd. Throughout the year, they were Through pouring rain they kept smiling. Through bitter cold, although virtually unprotected by their thin polyester uniforms, they continued to cheer. Whether the score was 28-3 or 3-28, the cheer- leaders could be counted on for support. It always seemed that when spirits sagged, the cheerleaders, Dalerettes and Marching Band could be counted on to provide enthusiasm. However, this ability did not come naturally. There was a tremendous amount of work behind each performance. The Marching Band began their quest for perfection in mid- August. Band members met in the rear parking lot for three consecu- tive evenings of intensive mar- ching. In mid-September the band packed their bags and trekked to Camp Alvemia for a strenuous weekend workout. The entire halftime show was learned. 'Sometimes the marching seemed endless. I felt like we got up in the morning, marched, had lunch, marched, had dinner, mar- ched, and went to bed, said Lorraine Justus, junior. The work didn't end, however, when Camp Alvemia ended. The show had been learned, but not polished. Long grueling hours of practice followed. The band met on Tuesdays and Thursdays after school for two hours. Tuesday rehearsals were just added this year, explained band director Brad DeMilo, because both bands (Symphonic Band and Wind Ensemble) met different periods, making eighth period rehearsing impossible. We needed the extra day. The cheerleaders worked hard themselves. Most people think all cheerleaders have to do is cheer and yell a few words. It's so much more than that. We have to work.

Being a Class Officer Meant It controlled the everyday life of almost every one for over three months—the Junior Prom. Every- one wanted their prom night to be perfect. Dates were carefully se- lected, gowns purchased, and tux- edos and limousines rented anx- iously. Mot everyone realized, however, that their class officers had begun planning for the event three years beforehand. Class officers spent months attending band auditions, selec- ting a hall, distributing tickets, designing glasses and working out the seating arrangements. The juniors also sold food at the foot- ball games to reduce the prom's cost. Class officers were responsi- ble for much more than the prom, freshman officers tried to help all the different groups of kids settle into the new school. They also saved for class events by running a two-week candy sale which raised about $250. The designing of each class ring was the responsibility of the sophomore officers. We sat for hours with an artist, said Tara Rooney, sophomore class presi- dent. I hope someone noticed the effort. As seniors, the officers had the responsibility of making this the most fun and exciting year, negotiating with the administra- tion to allow for Dressdown Day, planning the Senior Trip, and arranging for the Senior Banquet at the Huntington Townhouse kept them very busy. Serving as an officer deman- ded a lot of work at times. Being elected by your peers meant your class trusted you to act in their behalf and making the school more fun for everyone.

Playcrafters, the school the- ater group, was a complex organi- zation of enthusiastic young performers. It included the cast, crew. Pit Band and Livewires, who worked hard to put on two major productions. These plays deman- ded over 200 hours of tedious work. The rehearsals, although long, were a positive experience; they encouraged a unity of teens working toward a common goal. Besides, it was a lot of fun,'' commented Julie Qrudzinski, se- nior. The rehearsals are where the closeness of the cast is form- ed.'' Every member must audition for each show. This affords new students an opportunity to join. T never pick the cast without feeling guilty. I hate to turn an inspired student away ' said Kenneth Ulric, director and designer. The har- dest part of auditions is forgetting knowing people. I must force my- self to base my choices on per- formance only. Anyone can join Playcrafters, even if they possess no performing or musical talent. The crew con- structed elaborate sets, painted scenery and changed the sets during performances. These un- sung heroes worked as hard as the cast, and generally until after 7:00 PM daily. Joe Traietta, junior, gave one of his reasons for joining. Stage crew is an enjoyable hobby for after school work and could possibly lead to a high paying and enjoyable career.'' Freshman Mike Dooley had another reason. I joined because my brother is on it and it's fun; the friendships I have made are invaluable.

The 20 members, only two of whom were girls, played various brass, saxophone and percussion instruments and enter- tained at concerts and Rotary Club parties. Many musicians found it easy to relate to the relatively relaxed feeling of the music. Frank Tepedi- no, senior, said, I enjoy having the opportunity to improvise. Jazz music gives you the latitude to put your own emotion and interpreta- tion into the music. Whether backstage working the lights or onstage gathering the cheers, all the students who par- ticipated in these groups gained unique satisfaction. All agreed that the time spent after hours was well worth it.

BIG BIRDll Dave Miller selects the best turkey for a needy family. The Honor Society adopted two families for Thanks- giving. Some clubs found their priority Christmas music and the screams of excited children filled the air. Little boys raced their new toy cars around the room; little girls gathered in groups to play with their new dolls. The headstart party for pre-schoolers sponsored by the National Honor Society and the Key Club, was a success. Food and gifts were provided for all the children. The highlight of the party came as Santa Claus arrived with his bag full of toys. Said Honor Society adviser Caro- line Caccavallo, I was worried. We didn't have anyone with a big belly to be Santa Claus.'' However, senior Colin McAteer and a pillow saved the day. Good will flourished around Thanksgiving. More families were ' adopted'' by clubs than ever before. The Key Club, Girls' Lead- ers Club, Interact and the Honor Society all provided food for needy families in the community. Despite poor weather on the day before Thanksgiving, all the food was delivered. Although the food was a little wet, it got there ' said Jeanie Leung, Interact president. Like helping others on Thanksgiving, the Special Olym- pics was a group effort. The Key Club, Interact, Girls' Leaders Club, the Varsity Leaders Club and the Honor Society all provided their services. Club members were escorts for special Olympians. They provided help, encourage- ment and guidance when neces- sary. I was a little scared at first because I really didn't know what to expect, said senior Ken Nieder- berger of the VLC, but I was glad to have helped after it was over. Membership in these organi- zations was not open to all. The Honor Society required a grade point average of above ninety, and maintenance of this average throughout membership. VLC and GLC required above average aca- demic achievement and posses- sion of a varsity letter. An unwrit- ten requirement of VLC was pass- ing initiation. Said senior Paul Burghardt, ”1 lucked out. They forgot to initiate me. Interact and Key Club members, were also required to keep high academic standards, although no specific grade point average was mandato- ry.

The Student Activi- ties Council provided services vital to the school. They made the morn- ing announcements and pro- grammed the new electronic mes- sage board daily. They organized school events such as the home- coming Dance and the Pep Rally. They also monitored events such as fundraisers and class officer elec- tions. Perhaps one of the most impor- tant functions was provided by Stu- dents Against Drunk Driving (S.A.D.D.). In order to attain their goal, discouraging students from driving drunk, they made announce- ments during holidays and hung banners around the school. Said junior Phil Mekelburg, There prob- ably wasn't a person in the school that didn't know the saying. Friends Don't Let Friends Drive Drunk. That was the goal.' The National honor Society of- fered school-wide tutoring services in the library. For the first year, they offered tutoring every period, every day. Said adviser Caroline Caccav- allo. Things started off slow due to a lack of publicity, but by the end of the year we had really helped a lot of kids. Said tutor Mike Boccafola, It was a hassle giving up my free period once a week, but I was glad to share a special ability with others.

In addi- tion to the newspaper, the Paper Lion also published a periodic periodical called the Paper Lionette.__________ In some clubs, students mastered the eans of Production The rythmic churning sound of printing presses grew monoto- nous as page after printed page was spat out by the machines. The final stage of production of Muse and Media was under way, as the Muse and Media staff combined efforts and talents with the Daler Pressmen. The production of Muse and Media, however, was not a com- pletely smooth operation. The totally student-produced maga- zine faced problems of low mem- bership, a lack of quality work submitted by students and a small budget due to a lack of sponsors and low sales last year. We wanted a new look and a new format since what we had (last year) didn't sell ' said senior Drew Saur, editor-in-chief, however, he was optimistic about being on the staff. He said, Despite our troubles, it was worth it. Since we do everything--the layouts, the printing and the editing — we learned everything there is to know about the publishing busi- ness. In addition to printing Muse and Media, the Daler Pressman provided other printing services. Composed of the school's ad- vanced printing students, they produced tickets, programs and posters for school events, as well as the senior T-shirts. Said adviser Mark Piven, Students were given the chance to experience actual production printing while keeping up with changes in (printing) tech- nology.” Senior Christine Saitter said, Besides the experience, seeing my own work in print gave me satisfaction.'' The Paper Lion spawned many changes in trying to improve its quality and content. A twelve- page issue was published in Feb- ruary, the fourth of six issues during the year, because editors felt the previously produced eight- page publications were too short. The means of production were changed, as computers and word processors were introduced. The overall look of the paper was changed, also. For the First time color was used. We tried for more modern and up-to-date styles,” said Bari Sue Kenyon, sports and managing editor. An addition to the school was the Paper Lionette. It was de- scribed as a periodic periodical'' and was distributed every two to three weeks with news that couldn't wait for the next issue of the Paper Lion. Said junior Marc Eiseman, The Lionette was a success; the students seemed to enjoy it. We will continue it next year.” The Student Art Gallery let art students display their own works. There were three different exhibits during the year. Said senior Mike Hungerford, After all the time and effort, having my work displayed and appreciated made it well worthwhile.” Whether a painter, writer, photographer or printer, all the students in these groups felt the same.

Whether fall, winter or spring, the track team was in action on the track, the bike path or in the halls of the school. But these weren't the only things students did after school. Besides the expected stu- dent organizations and school events, there were others which further broadened the opportunity for students to be involved. After the 1983 race riot, it was decided that a place was needed for students to work out their problems with one another. The Rap Group, started by Dr. Steven Kussin, principal, was the answer. It consisted of students from all grades and cliques who represent- ed the entire school, and the principal. When inter-student con- WMAT'S MY VIEW?

It's a chance for the principal and students to work for a com- mon goal, and for disputes to be solved peacefully.'' The first Crazy Legs Contest was sponsored by the Parent- Teacher Association. Participating students decorated their legs, and the student body voted for their favorite crazy legs by donating money. Said Phil Mekelburg, PTA student representative, The con- test wasn't as successful as we had hoped, but we did raise about eighty dollars for the senior class. We plan to try it again next year under a slightly different format. In order to bring former Far- mingdale students back together with friends and former teachers, the Faculty-Alumni Basketball game was created. Said Debbie Battaglia, 1985 graduate, It was great to have so many of us back together again. The proceeds from the two dollar admission charge went to the PTA Scholar- ship fund. In October, the After-School Rock Concert provided students with a new source of entertain- ment. It was an opportunity for rock musicians to perform for their classmates and also raise money at the same time. Ed Lynch, of Eddie and the Might Rats, said, The band had a great time. We didn't want to have to wait until the Battle of the Bands to play. Whether a one time event, a new student organization or the beginning of a tradition, students were able to get together to share new interests, ideas and goals. Don McCalmont and David L.

Adviser Frank Frattalone saw the Italian Club as extremely cul- turally oriented, he said, ' We pretty much centered on Italian culture with a capital 'C.' Club members attended theatrical per- formances in new York City that were spoken in Italian. They also visited the Museum of Modern Art and the Fashion Institute of Tech- nology to see exhibits of Italian clothing from the 1930's through the present. Two exchange students, Clemens Scheurhoff and Johanna Lippmann, gave German Club members a unique opportunity to learn about German living. Said adviser Jane Mooney, The club members were lucky. They saw Germany through the eyes of a German, not an American - some- thing that most students never experience. Highlights of the club s activities included a trip to a Swiss restaurant and holding a Konditorei in which students and faculty enjoyed German pastries. The Interracial Club consist- ed in part of many of the school's foreign-born students. The club was primarily a culture exchange. Foreign-born students learned about the United States, while those who had lived in America all their lives learned about the rest of the world. The group visited the Empire State Building, the United nations Building and the Statue of Liberty and also took a trip to Washington D.C. Said senior Mi- chelle DiLeo, Being in the Interra- cial Club was an enriching experi- ence. It definitely made me aware of the importance of understand- ing the ways and ideas of the rest of the world. Sandra Mardenfeid and David L. Roth They journeyed into a realm that most knew little about. What they discovered was old tradi- tions, friends, celebrations and new ideas. The cultural clubs exposed students to the different aspects in foreign culture. While some members found themselves strolling through museums and studying foreign fashions, others communicated with people who lived halfway around the world. In the French Club, students were exposed to guest speakers who discussed current French events and cultural topics such as food and holidays. They had many fetes (a French type of celebra- tion) to celebrate special occa- sions in the French year. In mid- February the club gave a French fashion show in the library.

Without it, I probably would have been able to ski only once or twice this season. For politically-oriented stu- dents, there was Common Sense. Political forums sponsored by the club gave students a chance to discuss and share their opinions on controversial topics. Said ju- nior Lori Lifson, I found it inter- esting to see how other students reacted to important issues. Members were taught to be aware of their rights as citizens and human beings. In addition, money was raised for the community through bake sales and other fundraisers. The Lab Squad provided stu- dents with the chance to increase their exposure to science and help the school at the same time. Members assisted in preparing for classroom science labs by clean- ing equipment, weighing chem- icals, collecting supplies and do- ing minor repairs. They also had access to most equipment and were able to carry on individual experiments. Some fringe benefits existed with membership as well. Said adviser Mrs. Lucille Meyer- son, Students have the opportu- nity to be more informally involved with teachers. The Drama Club, advised by Ken Ulric, consisted mainly of students involved in the school plays. Members learned all as- pects of play production: make-up application, set design, and light- ing, to name a few. Techniques of acting were discussed as well. Learning everyone s role in the play, besides just my own as an actress, was quite useful, said Debbie Gecewicz, junior. Whether skiing, drama, poli- tics, or science, these clubs showed that just about any inter- est or talent could be pursued. David L.

People Divider ♦ ♦ fE pluribus Uti uni From many we are one Twelve grades and a tiresome twelve years. Where did all that time go? It seemed like only yesterday when we were learning to write our A, B, C's and 1, 2, 3's. and now we were preparing for college. Our days as the babies of the school were long gone; now we were the head honchos. head honchos—those two words sounded so good to hear. Tor those who bore that prominent label, it meant basically new attitudes and a seemingly new way of life. It took a long period of time to achieve that standing, though, first, we had to get through elementary school. Every- thing from the basics of reading and writing to the Civil War was taught in those six years. Sixth-grade gradua- tion came and went, as we moved into the next phase. Junior high school was our next plateau. Classes were broken down into Q, R and MR over eight periods a day. Rules got tougher and teachers were more strict with their students. As we moved up in grades, the work •Christine Jones- got harder and required more effort and time. The end of our junior high school years marked the beginning of a whole new experience. finally we reached the high school. There were so many new and innovating things to do, from the Art Club to SADD. for the first time, we went to the Home- coming dances and pep rallies. We received school rings as juniors, went to the prom and took the SAT. As we rose each year from freshmen to sopho- mores to juniors and lastly, to seniors, a sense of becoming more important was felt by everyone. With each new day, we came that much closer to becoming the elite seniors. finally, the time had come. Applica- tions for college were filled out, cos- tumes were diligently worked on for Dress Down Day, and the banquet and class trip were attended with enthusi- asm and joy. finally we were seniors. We had reached a point that all of us had yearned for. We were the elders; we thought we were big and important and nobody else mattered. And finally after •JUST MANGIN OUT A popular place where seniors could be seen gathering was the Commons.

There were so many ups and downs pertaining to being a senior. In one aspect, it meant that we had gone as far as we could possibly go togeth- er; we were at the end of our line as a unit. But in retrospect, we were at the pinnacle, above everyone else, and we loved it. When we looked back at our school years, there were so many memories that would be cherished forever. There was really only one way to sum up our twelve years, the good times, bad times and friendships we had. That one single term applicable was E Pluribus Unum—from many we are one. • THE LOOK or ANTICIPA TION Where there is a will there is a way. and friends always found some time to spend together.

What is going to happen to me? and What will I do with my life? , were just a couple of questions on many people's minds. The future was a moment away and the answers weren't there. Growing up wasn't as easy as everyone thought. The big question was, Are you going to college? College excited so many. All the independence. All the new people. All the problems. College was going to be a rip, hanging out with friends, but it was also going to be more work than anyone had ever imagined. There would be endless nights of studying and many groups sessions, just trying to work out problems. It all came down to choosing a college. Suddenly the mail for colleges came pouring in. It was crazy, tons and tons of papers. They all looked the same, only the pictures looked differ- ent, stated David Miller. Decisions on occupations needed to be made, yet many were unsure of their futures. Though wanting to go to college with friends seemed like the biggest problem, others soon followed. There were colleges all over the United States, home and away. Sure, going away would have offered total freedom, yet parents and family life would be mis- sed. Mot everyone would go to college on Long Island. This only caused more problems. Probably the biggest one was money.

The lack of money was keeping many students from going away, and also many more from going at all. For many students college seemed like the best thing. It was a chance for students to be on their own, and besides the fact that most parents paid for college tuition and room and board, it would mean total freedom. Of course there would be parties and good times but the students would have to be responsible for doing their own work, keeping up their grades and paying for their own trivial costs such as luxuries. For many, going to college was a once-in-a-lifetime chance, one that shouldn't be passed up. Many students saw it otherwise, though. James LeMyre stated, College would be a waste of my time. I want to make money now.'' Other students also had business opportunities and careers awaiting them with relatives and friends. Though a big reason for not going to college was money, another factor was the big decisions. Deciding what to do for the future wasn't easy, and many chose to wait and decide later. Eventual- ly if they wanted to, they'd go to college later. Yet there was still another deciding factor-the dreaded SAT scores. A bad • JUST BROWSIMG Preparing for college was a long arduous task that took much time work to complete.

Many times a bad score kept some students out. Yet an excellent score gave many free rides or scholarships to those deserving individuals. The ones without the money prayed for scholarships, took the test again or competely dropped all thoughts of attending colleges. All in all, college decisions proved to be the first step in adulthood. Each individual's future was at stake and intense personal thought was in- volved in his Final decision. •AS TIME ELIES BY Colleges used many set-ups to attract students to their presentations during the various mini- college fairs.

Five short, seeming- ly unimportant minutes. That period determined whether or not a person became a licensed driver. Yet the road test was the final milestone of the teenager's plight to become one. It began with the test that one had to take to obtain the learner's permit. While some studied the manu- al, others chose to take a brief glance at it. “I read it on my way to take the test,'' said Judy Garczynski. After receiving a permit, students took their first driving lessons. The first time I drove, I felt like saying, 'I can't handle it.' My nerves turned to pudding, said Kristin Zaky. I felt like I was riding my bike for the first time again, and I was nervous, said Mike Begina. The next step was enrolling in a driver's education class. Students who wanted licenses during their junior year enrolled in a private school such as Queen of the Rosary Academy. I wanted to be able to drive during the summer, and I didn't want to wait, said Robin Frank. Others chose to take driver's education either during the summer or during their senior year. There was just no time for me to take it before the school year, said Jay Fortunato. Mistakes were not uncommon among student drivers. Once I sped up and the car slid a bit. The people in my car got scared, said Maria Mingione. I stepped on the gas instead of the brake and nearly hit a parked car, said Joseph Macri. Finally the day of the road test arrived. T was nervous because the road test instructor had failed many of my friends earlier in the day, said Laura Giardina. The privilege of driving all boiled down to a pass-fail grade. If a student failed, all it meant was that he or she had to take the test again. For those who passed, there was a feeling of joy and freedom because now they could go practically wherever they wanted if they had a car. In the end, all the hours of practice seemed worth it.

If nominations were taken and voted upon each year within the school system the contest would have been very close between just three people. Guidance counselors. They steer- ed their students through school and they did their best to see that any future plans, namely college, the armed services or any special job or vocation, came true. Edgar Glascott, senior guidance counselor, said, Kids are still kids. The times change but they don't. In their sophomore year, we get them as new students, and we try to get to know them as well as possible. In their junior year, we help them plan their activities after graduation, whether it be college or a job. In their senior year, we put every- thing together, and try to get them what they want.'' The problems that develop in a student's life may make the job of the guidance counselor especially difficult at times. Miss Helen Cooke, another senior guidance counselor, said, Over recent years, some things have colored my otherwise positive outlook of the kids. I feel that the kids have to try to understand that education is a long- term investment. There are many times when they don't. •PROBLEMS. PROBLEMS. PROBLEMS! A common nuisance upon receiving a schedule was finding out that one had been given the wrong classes. Adam Ferezy treks into school to clear up his with Ms. Cooke. Of course, there was the dean who was just as intimately involved with the senior class as the guidance counselors were. Charles Zodda, twelfth grade dean, constantly worked with Dr. Steven Kussin, principal, to keep the senior class and its activities controlled and in order. Besides mak- ing daily checks on students, he often took the time to just talk with students about their problems, that were inside and outside of the school system. Hey, who gets the Oscar any- way? •DO I HAVE TO TARE IT?! SAT and ACT worries were just about on every senior's mind at the beginning of the new school year.

That was the only word to describe it. The demon wisdom teeth. They always came up, or at least tried to come up. The main problem behind the wisdom teeth was when they became impacted. Thus, they created the dreaded pain. Mine acted up once in a while and , they really gave me a lot of pain, said Lisa Moehring. There was ten times as much pain when they were impacted. And there was only one way with dealing with badly impacted teeth-surgery. Usual- ly they were removed right in the dentist's office, which was preferable •Christine Jones to a hospital for many. The operating room looked a lot like one from a hospital. I was very comfortable, said Suzanne Poakeart. The aftermath of surgery always seemed worse than just putting up with the pain, though. There was a fear of ripping out stitches. The victim's face swelled up, a common result of surgery. People whose faces swelled tremen- dously quickly earned the title of chipmunk cheeks, a most appropri- ate term. There was one advantage to wis- dom teeth acting up - free time away from the everyday hassles and scholas- tic activities. Shannon Hons, senior, said, I had my top wisdom teeth pulled; it hurt like crazy. My cheeks were puffy and I had to stay home from school for a few days. Wisdom teeth always seemed to make one's life miserable. So what's a little bit of pain? • WHY ME? Having wisdom teeth out can be one of the most unlooked forward to time of a person s life. Christine Jones tries to sip a glass of soda immediately following surgery. n,« f V ;, ‘ •. f«s . f T : v -s.v Senior year was supposed to be easy or so they thought. Minimal homework, no hassles, no worries, plus that head-man-on-the-totem- pole feeling. But they were wrong. Out of nowhere came bills, bills and more bills. Where did they all come from? Senior year was definitely not as trouble-free as everyone had predic- ted. There were many good times: the Senior Banquet, Senior Trip and Dressdown Day, to name a few. Yet those inevitable expenses began to pay their toll on seniors' bank books. The banquet costs thirty dollars. Then there's the Senior Trip, which costs from thirty-five to forty dollars,'' said Edgar Qlascott, a twelfth grade guidance counselor. Christine Ferrari said, My costume cost me fifteen f •Debbie Petraitis dollars alone, and I hadn't gotten every- thing I wanted.' Between each senior activity money began to run low, yet the battle had just begun. Besides all of the fun and games, seniors began to prepare for college and their future. Searching for the right college took time and money also. According to Leonard Marino, director of guidance. Most college application fees ran from $15 to $25 each. The cost of college visits included airfare, carfare, food and accommodations which roughly ran $125 to $200. Also for those who chose to go away to college, housing reservation fees added to the cost.'' After these costs, there were the personal miscellaneous items that were purchased, such as clothing, candy and gum at the Green and White Shop, and gas for ones car. Altogether, said Darci Chipumoi, The year costs a great deal of money; $150-$200 for application fees, and another hundred for other senior activities. Preparing for college and saving money for various senior activities gave everyone an important example of how to manage money. Fun it may have been, but it was a valuable, expensive lesson no one has forgot- ten. •READING THE TINE PRINT The cost and tuition of many colleges and universities exceeded $10,000 a year, which for many limited his or her choices as to where to apply. What made these costs even higher was when application fees ran $30 and $40 a piece. V.W' BARBARA E. GIBBONS 17 Woodward PKy., F dale Mi-Life. Muse Media. Ed.; Gymnastics.

' said Jenni- fer Tauszik. Jennifer was chosen along with twenty-four other young people across the United States to go to the Soviet Union last summer. She was chosen through her church, which agreed to pay for her trip if she would tell everyone about her experience. On her return she made speeches at high schools and told anyone who was interested about her trip. In the months prior to my trip I heard many negative criticisms of the Soviet Union. I expected my room to be bugged and the phones to be tapped. I established mental images of a cold unfeeling country with the KGB on every corner. The purpose of the trip was to gain greater understanding of what the Rus- sian people were like. Jennifer tried to leam some Russian and she bought sough tafter items such as gum, perfume samples, postcards and her most appre- ciated items, Kennedy half-dollars, as the Russians hailed John f. Kennedy as a hero. Upon arrival in Russia, immediate impressions were formed. Jennifer was tired and collapsed into bed at her hotel. At six o' clock church bells rang, the sun shone through the window and a dog barked. All my doubts vanished as I thought, 'Wow, they have dogs in the Soviet Union.' Jennifer met people who left a lasting impression on her. They're just like us. Their government is just different than ours. We have to break the barriers, she said. Jennifer was impressed by things such as the Metro, anti-war posters and the fact that the government was combating alcoholism. Her only criti- cism was the lack of fresh fruits and vegetables. The people are afraid of war and are working and learning just as we are, she said. The most important thing I learned was the need to break the ignorance and communi- cations barriers. TO RUSSIA WITH LOVE Jennifer Tausik visited Russia on exchange program. In front of the Mermitag Museum, she realizes that Russia has more similarities to home than she had thought.

JOHNSON 215 Birch Russian Visit Seniors anticipated the long-awai- ted moment. On the day the results were released, seniors hurried to the twelfth grade office between classes and during free periods asked the inevitable question, ' What's my class rank? Finding out one's class rank was exciting for everyone. Tor the top achievers, finding out their class rank was not only filled with excitement, but tension and nervousness. The list of class ranks and aver- ages, however, were released with an error. The grade for Trank Tepedino, valedictorian, was misread, and he was placed fifth behind Terry Ander- son, Donald McCalmont, Marc Gold- man and Judi Yuen. The inaccuracy, however, was discovered and the top five students were reshuffled. This did not affect the other five students in the top ten, Margo McCullagh, Christina Zuber, Gina Cammarano, Anne Marie Romeo and Michael Persche. The accomplishment of any of the top ten positions required arduous studying and pushing for the best. “On nights I had a tremendous amount of homework. There was nothing else I could do but work into the wee hours of the night, said Marc Goldman. Although the top ten students for the most part grew up with one another and were friendly for years, competition for top spots was fierce. 'Trank and I have been competing since fourth grade, said Terry Anderson, salutatori- am There s no one else that I'd like to •CREME DE LA CREME Competition for class rank was a predominant factor among seniors. It was one that made them work twice as hard to edge out their competitors, and for some, because of unique determination, earned themselves a position in the elite top be number one and two. At times one test grade could move you up or down the top ten ladder, commented Margo McCullagh. The cumulative three-year aver- age was the only basis for determining the top ten students. I always tried to do my best in my electives because it was easy to get good grades there, but I also worked for every extra point in my regular subjects, said Judi Yuen. T didn't even know I was going to be in the top ten, said Anne Marie Romeo. I was just happy and sur- prised to have made it. ten.' Front row: Gina Cammarano.

Wherever he went, he saw that all-too-familiar face. He had a feeling of remorse and guilt that would be with him for the rest of his life. Peter had recently hit and run over a thirteen-year-old boy. It was no accident. There were numerous things that kids did illegally, such as shoplifting and robbing homes. The one crime that was committed the most among teenagers was driving while intoxicated, other- wise known as DWI. Driving while drunk was often not intentional. Many times, teenagers honestly thought that they were completely sober. Of course, just by the statis- tics of alcohol and drug related accidents, this proved not to be the case. Each time a drunken person got behind the wheel of a car, he or she jeopardized his or her own life, not to mention those of other drivers and pedestrians. Many teenagers took precau- tions and made sure accidents'' did not happen. Laura Benanchetti, vice president of Students Against Drunk Driving (S.A.D.D.) said, Whenever there was a party one of my friends stayed sober so that he or she could drive the rest of us home. I made my friends give me their car keys when they came to my parties, said Peter Altman. Although, the drinking age was raised to twenty-one, it never stopped the persistent teenagers. Using whatever means, whether it was fake identification or persuad- ing a customer to buy the alcohol for them, they always met their objective. They had one drink, and another, and another. John never saw his fourteenth birthday. • THE DO S AND DON'T S As youngsters, children were given guidelines as to what was right and wrong, but they were not always followed. Driving while intoxicated proved to be the number one Killer of teenagers. BRYAN MAIKOWSKI 90 W.

On May 26, 1984, Janine was judged on swim- suit, gown and personal interview competition, and after careful consider- ation by all of the judges, she was chosen to represent Long Island in the national competition. Janine's interest in entering the contest began when she saw a bulletin about the pageant in the Daily Yews. She had never modeled or entered a competition of this sort, but the bulletin definitely had caught her attention, so she gathered more information and upon doing so, decided to enter the competition. It was a very good experience for Janine, said Mrs. Paccione. She had been fairly camera shy and very quiet, but that all changed during the pageant. She was interviewed by so many people and had to be in front of the camera for many pictures. Confidence was not her only re- ward; a trip to Florida and a chance to become the elite Miss Teen USA were other benefits. Janine did not win the Miss Teen USA pageant held in Miami; an important factor was that the judges thought that she was too short. Although disappointed, Janine re- turned home with many souvenirs and memories. It was a lot of fun and an experience that I will never forget. I made new friends and had a good time. Mow, who says that fairy tales NEVER come true? •BEAUTY ISN'T EVERYTHING Contestants for the beauty pageant contest held for Miss Long Island were not only judged on swimsuit and gown competition, but also on personal interviews and intellectual ability. Janine Paccione not only won the Miss Long Island title, but also was nominated as Prom Queen. s TIMOTHY P.

Pk. Tracy Simon Mental health can drive you crazy! Giggles were stifled during one of many outbursts in class. Anyone want a scrambled egg? said Chris DeGarmo, as he sadly looked at the egg that he had nurtured so carefully after it had rolled off the desktop. Now I'll have to start all over again. Kevin Andros said. When my egg broke, I was annoyed, but not de- stroyed. Every senior was required to take health, but there was the choice of either taking it during the summer or school year. Mark Simon said, I worked over the summer, so to take it during the school year was much more convenient. Many students felt that an impor- tant aspect of health was that it had an open, very relaxed atmosphere about it. Jeanie Leung said, It was a very relaxed atmosphere in which you wer- en't afraid to express your feelings. Joe Auricchio said, Mrs. Klersfeld related to the students and was not ashamed of what she talked about. Some of the various topics talked about during class were venereal diseases, nutrition and birth control, and health class helped to rectify many misconceptions as well as answer any questions. The opportunity to gain extra credit wasn't passed up by many. Students could attend a CPR class. Alcoholics Anonymous meetings, do artwork or donate blood. Because these options were not mandatory, students were usually glad to try some of these clas- ses. Besides earning extra credit, impor- tant and valuable information was gain- ed from these experiences. When I got my mannequin to breathe during my CPR class, I felt very pleased and relieved that I would be prepared if this situation arose in real life, stated Tracy Forsyth. Out of 124 students who attended health class and responded to a survey, 84% felt that they had benefit- ted from that type of class. By the end of the course, students were more aware of their minds and bodies. They learned valuable information in every aspect of health, information that wouldn't be taught in any other class or learned in any other way. • THE ROUHDTABLE Putting drugs and sex Into the proper perspec- tives was an important aspect of Health class. Mrs. Klersfeld openly expressed her feelings on such controversial topic matter. Health o R ROBERT NICOLL 5 Pinehurst Rd.. r dale KENNETH NIEDERBERGER 43 Jerome Dr., f’dale German Club; Band.

Science Club •Terry Anderson •Editor-in-Chief- Everybody had a good idea who would win the sports scholarships and who would be recognized for their academic achievements at the senior award ceremony, but figuring out who fit all the HI-LIEE qualifications was a bit more difficult. The search for two seniors, one male and one female, was a very difficult one. Since hi-Life is a student- run organization, it was uncomfort- able to choose a fellow student. There- fore, the editors of HI-LIEE turned to the school staff for their help. After polling the entire faculty and guidance counselors, HI-LIFE chose Haney Li- cursi and David Amodio as the Out- standing Seniors of 1986. The qualifications for this award called for the truly all-around stu- dents. HI-LIFE was not looking for students who were especially talented in one specific field, but rather, stu- dents who were well rounded-ones who showed a desire to work to their full capacity in everything they did. Haney was a member of the na- tional Honor Society, a testament to her academic achievements. Her con- tributions to school citizenship and spirit have been numerous. Haney, the vice president of the Student Activities Council, was a factor behind the success of almost every school event. Her participation on the gymnastics and winter and spring track teams exemplified her desire to be the best she could be. David, 33 of the Varsity Football team and the Most Valuable Defensive Player of the Senior Bowl All-Star Game, added thrills and excitement to the football games every weekend. David often downplayed his impor- tance to the school. He modestly assumed major leadership roles on all of his varsity teams--football, baseball and wrestling. In spite of his numerous after school activities, Dave placed in the top 5% of the graduating class. Both seniors proved that they were very special people with very special talents. They have earned the respect of their peers and of their teachers. Both deserved this recogni- tion for their achievements. Congratu- lations, Han and David.

Oh, here it is. Let's see what jobs are out there just waiting for me. Hum, here's one. Part-time help is needed for weekends. That sounds pretty good. I wouldn't have to work after school. Let me read the rest of this ad. Wait a minute! This says they want someone to work for free! Are they crazy? Tor many, having a job that pro- vided a salary was a luxury as well as a necessity. But there were those who did volunteer work, whether it was because they didn't need money and wanted to fill up their free time, or they just wanted to be a service to their community. Most often, it proved to be both cases. One type of volunteer work was volunteer firepersons. Before they could ride with the actual engine compa- nies, each volunteer had to go through an eight week training period. This training consisted of learning how to administer Cardio-Pulmonary Resucita- tion (CPR), how to control all types of fires and learning the other elements in fire safety. We learned many valuable skills that could and would be used for the rest of our lives, said Nancy Sun- dae. Another type of volunteer job was working for the community newspaper. The job consisted of writing exactly what was going on in the community. Two such writers were Sandra Mardenfeld and Judy Qarczynski, who wrote for The Massapequa Post. Every Friday, their columns appeared in The Post, and it dealt with the activities, clubs and happenings of their community. I always looked forward to seeing my name in the paper, said Sandra. I felt like I had accomplished some- thing. The most important reason that kids did volunteer work was the feeling of having provided a service to the community, and feeling good about it. Judy said, To have volunteered for anything was self-satisfying. I volun- teered to do what I did to inform the community of what was going on in our every day lives. I always felt personally rewarded. •AH EDUCATIOnAL EXPERIEHCE Mo matter what type of job, whether money paying or not. the techniques and methods used in that job must be known inside and out. Pat Diecidue goes over the different types of equipment on the back of a firetruck with two experienced firefighters. 1968 • GOOCtlY GOOCMY GOOI 1968 was a year packed full of events that would change every person's life, whether they were beneficial or not. Being bom that year, Stephan- ie Darienzo and 590 more seniors brought a little more joy and happiness into their parents lives, and made the circumstances of the world seem a bit less harsh. — IVAN RIVERA 105 Willard Ave., Fdale CMRIS RIZZOTTI 223 N.

Tor the seniors it was the year that they were born, which made it an important year to begin with. They came into the world during a time of devastation, uncer- tainty and changing values. Senator Robert Kennedy, a candidate for the Presidency, was shot and killed by Sirhan Sirhan, and Martin Luther King, Jr., a man who fought for equal rights for blacks, was assassinated by James Earl Ray. The Vietnamese War was in full swing as countless numbers of young soldiers were sent overseas to •Christine Jones fight in this controversial war. Riots protesting the war were held across the United States, during which many were injured, and the selling, buying and using of drugs was prevalent. 1968 wasn't only a year of disrup- tion and unpleasant happenings, though. It was also filled with joy and happiness. The Olympics were held in Mexico City after which the United States was termed the unofficial winner. Rich- ard M. Nixon won the Republican presi- dential nomination and went on to defeat Democrat Hubert H. Humphrey. In the sports arena, the Detroit Tigers edged out the St. Louis Cardinals, 4-3 in the World Series and the Balti- more Colts defeated the Cleveland Browns 34-0 at the Super Bowl. Movies and music played an impor- tant role. Two popular movies were The Lion in Winter and Tunny Girl, producing a tie for best actress be- tween Katharine Hepburn and Barbara Streisand. Simon and Garfunkel, Dionne Warwick and Glen Campbell all produced Grammy Award winning songs. 1968 didn't mean very much to the seniors, but as their cradles rock- ed, so did our changing world. It was a year of changing times and values and it produced memories, whether good or bad, that would never be forgotten. As Charles Dickens said in his opening line in A Tale of Two Cities, They were the best of times; they were the worst of times.'' MICHELE ROMANELLI 29 Reese PI..

What seemed to be a never- ending experience, twelve years of the ups and downs, hard work and unfor- gettable times, appeared to end with one simple but beautiful ceremony. Tor us, it marked the end of one stage of our lives; many people and things we held close to our hearts had to be left behind and separate paths needed to be taken. Of course, family and loved ones would be missed. But there were people who meant more to us than words alone could tell; ones we would miss the most. They were our friends. From the very first time we could spell the word F-R-l-E-H-D, we wanted to make one. As youngsters, we would play hide-and-go-seek and ring- around-the-rosie, ride on swings and do anything else little tykes liked to do. All one had to say was, 'Hi! Do you want to play with me? and there you had it-instantaneous friend. Kinder- garten instigated the whole process. •Christine Jones- when we would be put into groups to fingerpaint or build with blocks. As little kids, most of us were anything but shy. In fact, rowdy was an understatement. So, of course, we talked to the other kids and for the first time, we had friends. We went through elementary school with the same people, and the bonds of friendship were made stronger and stronger with each new year. We were growing up a little, so we started doing more mature things. How we rode bicycles together and slept over one another's houses. Typically, groups of friends went rollerskating at U.S.A. and had birthday parties. During these years, many best friends'' couples were formed. Some eventually grew apart, while others remained true to one another long after graduation. With the passing of elementary school came junior high school, and a • • THOSE WERE THE DAYS wave of new people came in. Seventh- graders came from Albany Avenue, East Memorial, Horthside and Woodward Parkway. There were so many more people to meet and talk to that making a friend was not an arduous task. There were eight differ- ent classes to attend during the day, so most of the time, there was a completely new group of kids with each one. Another important aspect was that there were so many clubs to join that friendships could be formed through them. We started falling into different cliques in junior high school. Ho matter what type of group it was, it was one in which we felt comfortable and relaxed, and had friends that were like ourselves. How we seemed to have so many friends that we didn't know what to do with them all. (cont'd) •PARADir G THE PROJECTS Working together on school projects was one means by which friends became closer. Rich Migliacchio and Lori Willis helped to present The Glory That Was Greece. Kids were free and innocent, and to them, the world was one big playground. Laura Giardina, Paul DeRonde, Mike Kramer and Adam Ferezy began their friendship at an early age. LAURA STEIMMETZ 361 Secato gue Ave., F'dale Dalerettes, Capt.; GLC; French Club; S.A.D.D.

But as always, this was not true. There were always new clubs and new classes, so one always had a friend. Our high school years were the most special to many of us. friends shared everything together, from which boy or girl he or she liked to problems with family to how much they hated a particular class. As they seemed to share everything with one another, friends did everything possi- ble under the sun together also. There were the clubs to join and actively participate in, the Saturday home football games to attend, the friday night movies and the wild parties to go to, just to name a few. When we were down, we knew we always had a shoulder to lean on and cry on, and when we were happy, we wanted to share our little bit of joy with them. They always understood us so well, and many times it was difficult to keep secrets from one another, for the most part, our friends were always there for us; they were people we could trust and rely upon. They were our friends. Graduation meant so many changes. We were all going in our own directions. Some students stayed at home and went to college nearby, so retaining those friendships was not so difficult. But for those who went away to school, it often felt like it was going to be the end of the world. The thought of going away to college and meeting new people was exciting, but it also meant a whole new life. Indeed, we would have new friends and often old ones would be put on the back burner. But our old friends would always mean the world to us. They were why we looked forward to going to school, just so we could be with them. Parting was probably the hardest thing to do for any of us. •LENDING A HELPING HAND When In time of need, friends can always be counted upon to give support and comfort. Jackie Bergstein can often rely on William Titus to be there for her when needed. So many memories had been created, so many secrets had been shared and so many times had been spent together just forming those memories and telling those secrets. We cherished the memories we had made and loved our friends as if they were our brothers and sisters. Taking those first steps after school didn't mean we were losing friends; it just meant that we were starting to experi- ence a new type of life. It had been said by many that college friends were the dearest and most special, but twelve years of friendship could be nothing but just that — the dearest and most special to all of us. • • ARE YOU COMFORTABLE? Being a senior often meant having more free periods than underclassmen. Mary Ellen Cas- sata, Mike Ncfferon, Jill Watkins and Chris Coffman took advantage of this by lounging out with friends in the Commons. Lambert NANCY SUNDE 92 E dale Trench Club ROBERT SUPPA 81 Ave..

Starting out as freshmen we found ourselves in a world where seniority can make some difference. Then we moved up the ladder to become sophomores, which was and felt like the middle of the game. Then we became juniors, the final step to our senior year. But the wait was still on. In most cases being a senior didn't give a person that many advantages. There was Dressdown Day, the Senior Banquet and the senior trip. Was the wait really worth it? Seniors had waited years to participate in those events. So what made the title so great? Maybe it was knowledge and experience that STICK in THERE Being a freshman in an upperclass world is not an easy task for John Gill, John Chavin and Robert Perbogolia. They enjoy the idea of being under- classmen anyway. came at the end of the climb. Consider- ing all the work they did to reach this position, some recognition was due. Some students dealt with the wait by saying that being a senior was not that great. I don't want to be a senior, said freshman Tracy Knapp. I think they feel stuck-up about themselves and I can't handle that. That's one attitude which seemed popular among some students. Others just couldn't wait until that year when they would be older and were ready to step into a more adult world. Eric Piasta, junior, said, ”1 am very much looking forward to being a senior so as to get my driver's license. Whatever the reason, waiting or not the senior year came. With that position the sense of being at the top and achieving the important position seemed favor- able. Mow you're in the adult world so more responsibility came with it. So was it worth it? Judy Qarczynski, senior, exclaimed, My senior year has been one big party. This goes to show that it certainly could be worth the wait. So just sit back and wait. If it's any consola- tion, most seniors will find themselves as freshmen next year, anyway. LAUGH AT IT Pilled with the spirit of their class, Andrew Vaughn and David Yannelli laugh at the plans for their senior year. They can certainly share the senior spirit without being a senior.

An air of excitement pervaded the juniors; they had finally arrived! Waiting for one's high school ring to arrive was a mixture of anticipa- tion and torture. The time from order- ing the ring and finally receiving it seemed like ages,” said Lisa Porpora. Since hundreds of juniors ordered their rings, each student tried to individ- ualize his or her ring. Through choices of styles, cuts and colors, one could almost always design a unique ring. T think personalizing your ring makes it JUST RIGHT Capturing the feel of the junior year. Rich Gerhard and Chris Petereit find trying on their rings exciting. Class rings were one of the bright points of the year. COMPARE Rich Brooks. Michael Barbieri and James Galluzzo find the fit of the rings to be different at first. A wide variety of stones and styles were made available. special,” said David Kutler, junior, you can try on different sizes and styles, and then pick your ring color from an array of colors. When rings were finally delivered, students waited on extraordinarily long lines, sometimes giving up their free period just to get them. If they didn't have a free period or had one later in the day, either they cut class or tried to bribe their teachers to let them out for a quick ring pick-up. Picking up the ring was the easiest part. Getting 87 people to turn it was not. For days juniors went around school asking people to turn their ring. Eventu- ally, after 87 people had turned the ring (toward the pinky, of course) it was ready to be locked.” Either a girlfriend or boyfriend was supposed to be enlis- ted for this very special duty. A ring represented many things to a junior; friendship, pride in the school and fun. Collen Boyle summed it up by saying. Getting a ring is just one event that makes the junior year special. •Sandra Mardenfeld- Diane hurl David Kutler Dave Lamdan Diana Lang Nicholas Leach Scan Leahy Kandy Lee Lisa Lehman Cindy Lciscnhcimcr Larry Lembo James Leung Lori Lifson Martha Liopvros Johanna l.ippmann Cheng Lo Lynette Logan James Lomot Aurora Lope Denise Lorcllc Susan Lorig Koseann Lucarelli Christine Lyons Andrew Macey Jim liagro •Michael Marmo- tages. Sophomore John Pedone said about his brother, It's good to have someone older in the school to protect you.'' I like someone to tell me about the teachers I don't know, said Tania Quinones. So it seems that having someone else might be not so bad at all. now for competition. What can brothers and sisters possibly compete for? Some thought everything, while to others it really did not matter. Drama class grades, that's what we compete for, said Tracy McGlone. Although most kids competed academically they didn't mind their brother or sister around their own friends. We really don't see each other that often so it really does not bother me, commented Carmine Puccia, sophomore, about his younger brother. Going to the same school as your brother or sister did produce many problems or even embarrassing situa- tions. In the end, the good really outweighed the bad, so an occasional encounter in the hallway might have been worth it in the long run. PEACE Relationships between brothers and sisters range from pain to joy. Laura and Susan Dawning share the special gift of being twin sisters. You were walking down the hall, calm and collected like any sophisticat- ed junior whan all of a sudden a nervous chill moved over you. You tried to fix your eyes on something else, but this seemed impossible. A little girl, who had a pile of books pulled high under her arm, smiled as she walked passed you. Swallowing a deep gulp of air, you wondered if anyone knew the truth of this mysterious freshman.. .did anyone know that THAT girl was your sister? Since the beginning of time, rela- tionships between brothers and sisters have brought many arguments raging through the home. When kids were young, there were often fights over the most obscure ideas, finally when they became more mature problems be- tween them had to become less, as most parents had hoped. But in most cases, the fighting still took place and over an even more elaborate list of things. Why can't brothers and sisters get along with each other? You have to understand each other to get along the best, said freshman Tracy McGlone. Understand- ing was a popular solution among most students, but constant understanding seemed hard to fmd. Tania Quinones, freshman, commented about her older sister, Sometimes we fight, and some- times she is very nice to me; it all depends.

Maybe it was closer to a night out with the buddies, but it was a special night, a night to begin a whole new phase of life. This night was the first date. An uncomfortable nervous feeling was in the air as the time approached. I tried on four different outfits before I decided on anything to wear,'' explained Mary Capone, freshman. After passing the major stumbling block of getting ready, most girls hoped things would move more smoothly, but sometimes they didn't. Said Lori Meroles, sopho- more, I was really hoping the guy would pay for me. But I wasn't sure. Well, it turned out the guy did pay for the movie we went to see, but on the way into the theater he lost the admission ticket! Another problem encountered on the first date was generating lively, intelligent conversation. I just babbled on and told little stories. I tried to make myself seem calm, but inside I was nervous, said Mary Miciletto, junior. School, friends and music were popular conversational pieces. Besides the movies, another com- mon option for the first date was the local restaurant. The world of food opted potential disaster. Would she •Annemarie Bambino- stain her new blouse? I didn't know what to order, said Elizabeth Mascia, junior, My father told me to order lobster. Liz's dinner turned out fine, but she added, After dinner we didn't have a ride home. So we walked about five miles to get home at 11:30 at night. The girl isn't the only nervous one on the first date. I brought my first date to Friendly's, explained Brian Russak, sophomore. All was good and well until I knocked over a glass of water onto her lap and spit in her face while talking to her with a mouthful of ice cream. As they advanced through the stages of dating, boys and girls realized that problems did not end on the first date. Take the problem of dating some- one from another grade. I dated some- one in another grade and found we didn't relate as well as guys from my own grade, commented Jen Bellisi, sopho- more. Mary Miciletto thought of it differ- ently. I think it's better to date some- one from another grade. You get to know a lot of different people, she said. A major problem dating people in other grades is during school events where you seem to be the only person in your class. Jean Capone, sophomore, summed up the dating game, If two people really like one another, they will make it through no matter what happens.

It was always cold, dark and already filled with a list of problems, but worst of all it was Monday. The origin of this disaster usually began sometime during Sunday night. A powerful feeling of guilt built up which made one feel that they let another weekend slip away and were forced into another hard week. What 1 dislike about Monday is that it's the first day of the week and it's like starting over again,'' said freshman Bernadette Taber. Most students agreed that it was difficult to leave the weekend behind and once again return to the real world of school. So it usually took the first couple of periods to get back in the groove, but to some it did not matter. I don't have problems with Monday, stated Chris Benz, junior, because 1 treat it just like any ordinary day. Others had their own philosophy on the subject such as Mark Kosak, sophomore, who explained, Monday is not really bad at all because it eventually leads to Friday. After pondering the whole weekend on the subject of when to do something, most students waited until the eleven o'clock rush to do homework. This might have included anything from studying for a quiz or a major test to preparing a project which was due the next day. Why did students wait so long? It's great to have a good weekend and not worry about those things, com- mented Aixa Quinones, junior. Although some students found other times to do work, such as Friday afternoon, they still had problems of being on time Monday morning. With all of these excuses for being late it would seem most likely that everyone should go to sleep early on Sunday night. Unfortunately, this was usually not the case. Sunday was still considered part of the weekend, which it is, so this meant late hours. It was not unusual to go out or stay up and watch television to all hours of the night or be at a friend's house until the next morn- ing. People could really have a good time by staying up late. So why were students surprised when they found out they couldn't move in the morning? It was hard, but somehow alarms were si- lenced, the warm covers discarded for the shock of cold air, teeth were trushed, hot showers revived maybe a few senses, and another week was underway. It seemed on Mondays the bell always tolled — and it was loud! WAKE UF With a little work, Ken Johnston and Joe Carosella do their best to once again enter the world of school after a weekend. They both have trouble getting back into the swing of things.

Washing breakfast dishes, laun- dry and making dinner for his mother were priorities on his list. Me had an extra workload because his mother would be home late that night; his father wouldn't be home at all. Divorce—one of the most traumatic experiences that can happen to a family. The parents tried to create a stable environment for the children, but some- times this had an opposite effect. They also tried to hide their animosity toward each other, but this often created more problems. Josh Margolies, junior, said. Age plays a definite role in how the person is affected. The older you are the harder it seems.” reeling helpless in a struggling situation is not uncommon. Divorce was the parents' decision, and the children couldn't stop it. Moelle Gallagher, fresh- man, added, 'Basically my parents seemed divorced long before they actu- ally said they were. I miss not having my dad around, but it's better because there is no more fighting.” Creating a more stable environment can be one concern for the parents. In trying to help themselves they always have the children's best interest at heart. Students of divorced parents cer- tainly looked on situations about family and friends in a different light. Getting things from one parent that the other parent wouldn't give was a common practice for inexpensive objects. As the person became older, this played less of a role in which they have come to accept as normal life. This situation of one parent's re- marrying also changed the arrange- ment. In some cases students learned to love their new step-parents while in others problems resulted. Even though students with this situation have different home lives they still equally shared in the great joys of life. TOGETHER Spending a few minutes together Josh Margolies enjoys his father's company. Students of divorced parents spend a certain amount of time with each parent during the week.

It takes its time waiting for that all-important occassion: class pic- tures, a dance or a first date. Then suddenly—its evil strikes! Its victims are virtually helpless. What is this disease that continues to afflict millions of teenagers each year? Everyone at one time or another got a slight case of this illness. Though this affliction was not usually fatal, it can and did add complications to one's life. It can be so embarrassing,'' moaned Debbie Mardenfeld, freshman. It seems to thrive on embarrassment; in fact innumerable people have had pictures taken in which its mark was embedded on their cheek or chin. Such pictures were never displayed in grandma's house. They were buried beneath a ton of papers, in the deepest, darkest clo- sets or drawers. They were never meant to be seen by the human eye. After all, who wanted to display a picture with the north star” shining brightly on his or her face? The disease could also cause one to become alienated and withdrawn from society. How could students be outgoing and friendly at a party when people were playing connect the dots” on their faces? Fortunately, a way to combat this terrible disease has been developed. The methods are numerous and avail- able to almost everyone. They are sold at drugstores, beauty stores and super- markets all over the country. They are affordable, and usually priced below five dollars. This medicine brings relief to thousands of people. It also prevents the disease from happening. Clearasil, Fostex, Oxy-10 and the Hoxzema Com- pany are hailed as saviours. Day to day they help to fight the endless battle against the terrible, awful, disgusting affliction—acne. on nor Diane Autorino reaches to cover a small blemish she discovers on her face.

After stating the initial fact, he proceeded to tear apart your home away from home. Out went your gym shorts and the lunch from last Tuesday, not to mention all the books. A terrible dream come true. neat versus messy. A constant battle that will continue forever. Sib- lings sharing a room experience it; friends sharing a locker experience it; it is everywhere. A messy person will never change. Bom a slob, always a slob. Teachers try to get students to keep well-orga- nized notebooks. It doesn't work. All their efforts and pleadings go in one ear and out the other. Laura Gillan, senior, stated, I like being messy. Why waste time cleaning?''

I am naturally messy, but it really annoys me when I can't find anything. I wish I were organized. The neat'' population of the school also had a place. Just like a born slob, a person could be bom neat. They can never change. Some people got out of hand and became perfectionists. Everything has to be in its place and not one inch crooked. Janice Citrano, sophomore, said. My notes, my room and my locker all have to be in perfect order or I can't sleep, (Well, that's an exaggeration, but you know what I mean.) Perfectionists get their point across loud and clear. I can't stand it when someone is so uptight about neatness. Just relax, said Linda Fasbinder, sophomore. No matter whether a person was neat or messy their life was still filled with fun and amusement. A messy person could still enjoy the spirit of a football game, even if their clothes were wrinkled. A neat person could enjoy the excitement of Homecoming week even when the pre-eating contest proved to be totally gross. This was all a part of high school years: neat, messy, friends, enemies. It was all exciting and it is enjoyed by all. No matter who.

So sings Trank Sinatra in his classic. This song does not only pertain to Blue Eyes , but also to the lives of special education and handi- capped students, who day after day attended school doing what others do, all in their own special way. Manipulating one's way through a crowded hallway was never easy, espe- cially if one had to do it on crutches. People tended to have no qualms about colliding with others, no matter what their physical conditions were. The alternative to being trampled on was leaving class early or waiting until after the five-minute passing bell and arriving late, which resulted in missed class time, neither solution was ideal, but people had to leam to live with them. Occasionally travel was made easier by use of the elevators and ramps. Special education children were unique in their own ways. Although they did most things differently they were really ordinary people. Learning-disabled students could leam to compensate for their disabilities if they received small-group instruction. These students were very capable of doing schoolwork. They just learned how to do it in a different way. There were different methods of teaching a student how to read; one in particular was used with students who had a learning problem. Some students couldn't picture the word ’ run in their heads if they were asked how to spell it. They first repeated the sound of the letter r , then u and finally n , which helped them to grasp the concept better. Most of the learning-disabled stu- dents graduated from high school with a regular district or Regents diploma. Some took special education classes, but others were fully mainstreamed (they attended all academic classes with regular students) and attended one class per day in special education in which they received perceptual training to enable them to succeed in their regular classes. Many students, in a sense, over- came their disabilities and are able to return to regular placement classes and no longer need the services of the special ed department, stated Mrs. Rogers, special education teacher. All students are different and do things their own way. Learning-disabled students had a challenge to meet but most of the time succeeded. They over- came their problems and disabilities and took much pride in doing it. CAREFUL Getting around the crowded halls on crutches is no easy task for Mark Kosak.

The school should have been quiet, yet it wasn't. Voices intermingled with one another, echoing throughout the building. People seemed to be everywhere. What was the cause of this phenomenon? Freshmen Orientation! This annual event was designed to alleviate a good deal of the confusion involved in a freshman's first few weeks of school. The class of 1989 would have entered the high school unaware of the numerous extracurricular opportuni- ties. Incoming freshmen were apt to be overwhelmed by such a selection of clubs and organizations. The ninth •Sandra Mardenfeld- grade orientation helped the freshmen leam about the activities available to them. The evening began with a speech by Dr. Steven Kussin, principal, and a slide show in the auditorium. Then honor Society members and other volunteers showed the new students the gyms, library, offices, cafeterias and other points of interest. I was so happy they did that,” exclaimed Kim Marcia. Before that I had no idea where any- thing was.” Then it was on to the Commons where various clubs and organizations had set up booths. The students and parents wandered through the Com- mons pausing at the booths that held the most interest to them. There the organization would be discussed and various questions answered. People asked about everything, especially about school sports,” commented Julie Sisto, junior. The parents were pleased with the school. Mrs. Rubin, mother of freshman D.J. Rubin, said, I was really impressed, the school has a lot to offer. ” So, Freshmen Orientation once again benefitted the school. It allowed the new freshmen to face the first day with, if not unerring confidence, at least familiarity with the school.

Do this and that and this and this. What is this? A scene from Cinderella? riot quite. It's just a list of various odd jobs that are sometimes referred to as chores. To those who do chores, it is considered slave labor. Chores are a way parents get jobs done that they don't want to do them- selves, said Steven Ferrari, freshman. Most of the time, chores assigned to teenagers do seem to be the so-called dirty jobs. Mo one can say it's fun to mow a lawn in sweltering 86 degree heat or wash the sticky dishes that have been in the sink since breakfast. Yet someone had to do it, and the teenager was most likely the candidate. The worst job I have is cleaning the cat's litter box, commented Moelle Gallagher, freshman, but at least I get an allowance for it. The allowance—a sweet compensation for doing these jobs. The amount ranged anywhere from one to ten dollars. It all depended on the difficulty level of the job and the generosity of the parents. For many teenagers there was no reward for doing chores. They just had to do them - or else. I feel chores teach you responsibil- ity and the basic needs for when you get older, said Kristen McDonnell, senior. You don't really need compensation. Chores may teach one valuable lessons, but it was hard to be grateful when one had five hours of homework, the dishes to do and a lawn to mow. Sometimes it's so hard to get everything done, said Lisa Jennson, sophomore, but my mom can't do everything! Although sometimes the innumera- ble jobs teenagers had to do seemed overwhelming, they were just part of growing up. SPOTLESS HELPING OUT Soap, water and a little work is all it takes for There are many chores that must be done inside Kristina Ostman to wash dishes. Doing chores to a home and also outside.

Halls provide a place of freedom and conversation between periods. •Terry Anderson- Peace and quiet at last. I thought I had forgotten what tranquility was. I know the chaos only lasts five minutes, but these animals could blow anyone's mind. I bet you never thought about how the hallways felt, did you? It's tough sometimes. Mow would you like it if thousands of dirty-footed slobs stomped all over you constantly? And when it rains, it's all mud. Especially with all the leaks I have in the ceiling. Some of the things I see. Dear me. The casanovas and flirts and their ritual makeouts make me want to puke. It's fun watching kids sneak down here during the periods. It's even better when they get caught. The thing I hate most is the pushing and shoving. I can't believe this math wing. Major collisions. Doesn't anyone realize that there's another stairway at the other end. And I really feel sorry for the kids who try and hurry because they're late. Impossible. Someone is always dragging their feet or opening lockers. I do appreciate the fact that Mick LaMorte, the head custodian, had some of his electricians put new lights up. It makes it easier for me to see. There is a little matter, however, that I'd like to mention. Who picked the mint green and peach paint for my walls? They do not match. Must I send a color wheel? And talk about no respect. Rodney Dangerfield had a hell of a lot more than I do. Just think of how I look on the last day of school. The piles of paper and garbage covered the halls from the lockers which were built into my sides. EMPTY By the end of the day the hallways can really be a mess. Thanks to the custodians, they're always clean in the morning. Anthony Milano Deborah Millar Gregg Miller Brian Mills Michele Missbach Michael Monahan Dean Monitto Lisa Monteforte James Mosca Mkhael Mulvancy Gerard Murlcllo Billy Murray Brian Murray Lori Piare iso You would think anyone has enough decency and throw it away elsewhere. There are so many respected halls. The hall of Mirrors in Versaille, the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown or Independence Hall. They're all so famous and so clean. That's my dream, to be shiny clean for more than three hours. You all stay here for only four years. I've been here for twenty-five. So next time you walk through your college dorm hallway, or the hallway at work, have a little respect. He's a friend of mine. Hobby (hob'i) n. (pi. hobbies) A favorite pursuit or object- so goes Mr. Webster's definition. Although it's sweet and succinct, it barely describes all of what a hobby can mean. A hobby can be an outlet for anxiety, alleviate boredom or just be entertaining. Tor all different hobbies there are different reasons for having them. From sports to art, reading to col- lecting, there is a vast array of hobbies to choose from. Usually people pick theirs by themselves, but sometimes they are influenced by their parents. Jill Bischof, freshman, commented, My father is a professional musician and has his own choir. I picked up music by just listening to him sing and play the piano.'' Sometimes people will just discover what they like to do accidentally. It just came naturally ' exclaimed Anne Jean- nine Chimenti, sophomore. I was doo- dling and I liked it! It all began on a Girl Scout field trip,'' said Jennifer Terry, freshman, about horseback riding. I really enjoy the challenge and I dream of being on the Olympic equestrian team some- day. Tor some like Jennifer, hobbies are more than Mr. Webster's definition. It can be something they want to devel- op more fully. Or perhaps the hobby deals with an occupation they want to be in the future. All in all, hobbies were an important part in anyone's life, even though sometimes it may not seem to be!

I pictured beautiful beaches in California with girls in Bikinis ' stated Clemens, who planned to stay for only a year in America. Clemens thought that coming to America would be the best way to leam the fast-spreading international lan- guage, English, lie lives with a family who he calls his house parents. My house brothers are real nice. They take me to all places; the mall, discos, the city; and all the things that Americans do, I do! I really like America, but the big disadvantage of coming to the U.S. was that I felt alone and homesick-other than that, I love it! Ana Gutierrez, sophomore, who came from Ecuador about a year ago, lives with her aunt here in America. Ana has made a large number of friends because of her energetic personality. Within a few months. Ana had become a rising volleyball star. I joined the volleyball team because I love the game. As soon as I knew it, I moved up from JV to varsity, she said. Sondra Alfonso, junior, moved here from Uruguay two and a half years ago. There were many faculty strikes in her old school, so her family decided to move to America for a better opportunity to leam. Millions of people bustled through a crowd to be the first one on line. A scene at the local mall during Christmas time? It may be, but over 75 years ago, this was the scene at an immigration office on Ellis Island. The United States was soon called the world's melting pot. To foreigners, America is the land of opportunity. These opportunities may range from getting a better job to just wanting to be a part of America, a country known for its own special superi- ority. heather Batcheler, sophomore, moved to the U.S. with her family from England about a year ago. Adjusting was not that difficult, for there wasn't any language barrier other than the usage of a few words. America and England interchange ideas frequently which also made heather's ability to adapt easier. It was really quite exciting moving to America and meeting all different types of people, she said. Then there was the other side of the coin. When language is a problem and ideas from the foreign country are not known to Americans, trouble arises. In the case of Clemens Schuerhoff, junior, an exchange student from Germany, the concept of America was totally impossi- ble to grasp. ' The way I pictured America was the To Sondra, America is a very large country, and it was very hard for her to adapt, because she only spoke her native Spanish. She learned English by listening to students and teachers in her classes. Sondra said, The schools in America are not as strict. In Uruguay, if you get caught in school holding hands with your girlfriend or boyfriend, you get into serious trouble. Everything is much more free here. Sondra had a difficult time getting used to American customs. She said, There were so many new things to discover in America, but I was most fascinated when I first saw snow, be- cause in Uruguay, it is warm and it does not snow. The melting pot has grown over the years and has now moved into the high school. Although some had re- ceived only one chance at this dream and stayed for a short time, others had the experience to live here. The total situation was said to have been a pleasurable one for all those involved. A better opportunity for life, freedom, sports and education is what these students have gotten from their stay in the land of opportunity. IT S WORTH THE TRIP It is very hard to come to a new country and adjust in a short period. Ana Gutierrez realizes that her hard work will pay off in the long run. BETTER OPPORTUniTIES These students were lucky enough to be chosen to come to the United States for a better education. Mrs. Marta Perez teaches these students English and some of American customs.

Theater Club Faculty Judi Yuen The expressions busy as a bee'' and busier than a one- armed paper hanger'' usually bring to mind a person who is occupied constantly with all that goes on around him that relates to his or her job. That, in fact, was precisely what the adminis- tration was. Every single activity that occurred in the school had to be analyzed, evaluated and approved by the administration. Dr. Steven Kussin, principal, was the man in charge of it all. The very fact that he was the head executive explained why there were so many members of the administration. Three assis- tant principals, five deans and five superintendents plus the department chairpersons had their own areas to be responsi- ble for. The assistant principals with Dr. Kussin took care of virtually every school-wide event and faculty concern. Clifford Mackin, assistant principal, said, My personal responsibilities are teacher and student man- agement, extracurricular activi- ties, midterm and final testing schedules and graduation exer- cises. One of the most important administrators was Leonard Marino, director of guidance. Mis duties were to insure that every student received the maximum amount of help in planning his or her future. The administrators some- times may have seemed to be taking it easy. However, the work was still always there for them to do. Dr. Kussin com- mented, It's like owning and running a business—you think of it 24 hours a day. It's not a job that you can pack up at 3:00. Ms. Mary Allison: Theory I and II. Chorus.

Attitudes have been modi- fied. Mr. Mackin, said that the earliest students had no respect for authority. ‘ They were very rowdy and uncontrollable. Most of them were from the inner city and had to leam what was ex- pected of them out here.'' Twen- ty-five years ago the administra- tion was slack in its demands. Many of the students took ad- vantage of the lack of law and order in the school. Teachers were not always able to handle the unruly students and a large number of them resigned. I was Clifford Mackin is an assis- tant principal?!'' the student's father exclaimed. When I was here he was teaching social studies. That must have been about twenty years ago. In reality it could have been up to 25 years ago, when the school first opened. Although frequent changes in faculty have been made over the past quarter century, a few of the original teachers could still recall the very first day that school was in session. Patrick Healy, dean, stated. There were two types of students back then, the colle- giates and the greasers. The kids were wild then. I can remember that on the first day a boy was thrown through the bathroom window!'' normal school routines were very different. Study halls. only teaching for a few years when I almost quit myself, stated Mr. Mackin. Mrs. Lousette Turner, af- fectionately called Mama Turner'' by her pupils, has been teaching chemistry since the school first began. I was pregnant when the school first opened, but at that time teach- ers were not given a leave for pregnancy. I was teaching up to the time I went into labor, she said. The high school has gone through infinite alterations in administration, faculty and discipline over the past 25 years. These additions have made it a school to take pride in. SURROUMDED BY PAFER A teacher's work is not done only in the classroom. Mrs. Lousette Turner must be sure that all her teaching material is in order for her next class.

Sound like a tour guide's typical spiel for a group of sightseers? The twenty men and women sitting in the tour bus holding directories and maps however, were teachers. The old custom of showing newly-hired, out-of- town faculty members around the vicinity of the school was once again taken off the shelf because of the large number of •Noah Rosenberg- incoming staff. Those selected were chosen from a field of over 500 appli- cants. Through a complex selec- tion process, the finest teachers available were chosen. Geoffrey Mattocks, who re- placed Dr. Frederick Brockmann as superintendent, praised the administration's action in hiring the new teachers. New people bring fresh ideas and stimulate other people's teaching, he said. The position vacated by Mr. Mattocks' promotion was filled by Miss Maryalice Gutierrez. Not all of the newly-hired teachers were actually new teachers. John Nardone, for- eign language teacher, was transferred from Weldon E. Flowitt Junior Nigh School, and he seemed pleased about the move. All of the new faculty mem- bers enlivened the school with their enthusiasm, new ideas and innovative concepts.

An un- used crib with little flowered sheets was all ready for the arrival. But when would that arrival be? Expectant teachers were busy preparing for the little one to come. Some couples prepared together. Vincent Cal- osso, a maintenance mechanic, said, I didn't want to leave my wife alone while she was deliver- ing the baby. It was a great experience to see life before you. In preparing for the baby to come, the expectant parent felt the awesome responsibility set before them. Finally, the bundle of joy arrived. The teachers who were not help them relate to their students. Mrs. Bluth, a notable exception, said, I looK at students as individuals and I now feel I am more sensitive to their needs. FranKlin Gra- ham, computer room atten- dant, disagreed. Being a new parent doesn't help you under- stand the Kids in school. But I'm young so I understand teenagers, he said. The faculty members agreed that having a baby is a wonderful and rewarding ex- perience. Principal Dr. Steven Kussin summarized their feel- ings by stating, There is noth- ing in the world worth as many joys and pleasures as having a baby. RELAXATION?

These careers are often totally unrelated to school. Some teachers take on these jobs because they find the need to get away from teenagers. Others work to fill time. The majority do it for the money. Whatever the reason, teachers are interested in second jobs. Robert Orkus, physics teacher, has an outside interest in jewelry and works in a jewelry Jon Paul Fortunato Diahann McLoughlin store. The funniest thing was when one of my students came into the store ' stated Mr. Orkus. Perhaps the hardest-work- ing teacher of all was Vincent Lyons. By dividing his time be- tween teaching American Histo- ry and practicing law, Mr. Lyons gained the admiration of many of his students as the appointed head of the Law Institute. His knowledge of law is often fused into his teaching career. Teaching college courses and tutoring were common jobs for the teachers. Barry Kahn, science teacher, has participat- ed in these activities as well as selling life insurance. T eaching was a job that took time and effort, but there was still time left that could be filled. Second jobs became an excel- lent opportunity to earn extra money and to fulfill certain as- pects of life that had been miss- ing. Mrs. Rita Sampson: Adv. Keyboarding. Coll. Type.

Chetan Sati When the question of who runs the school arises, a typical response would be Dr. Kussin or the Board of Education. Managing a school, however, did not necessarily require a formal office atmosphere complete with typewriters. In fact, appointment books and conference telephones were not as important in this office as taking care of the real 24-hour-a- day business — making sure that the school was in top condition every day. Mick LaMorte, head cus- todian, was a significant figure in the opening of the school, because if the building was not in safe, working order, classes would not start. ‘I always have to be in the right place at the right time,'' Mr. LaMorte stated. “I am in charge of the total maintenance and cleanliness of the entire school.' The custodial staffof 33 people were trained in many areas such as electronics and me- chanics. They corrected anything which went wrong from a simple broken window repair to installing air conditioners. Yet few students appreciated these things and did not give a second thought to the cleanliness of the building. Until about October 16, the custodial staff did not have a con- tract but was still working. Meta Fischer, a member of the staff, stated, ’ Contract talks were at a standstill. A language barrier had developed; our original contract did not give us benefits we thought we had negotiated. ' Mr. LaMorte added. Other em- ployees had enjoyed additional be- nefits. We too would have liked the same benefits. We all work for the same employer, and yet the Board of Education continued to treat us as second class citizens. If this was not true, a settlement would have been reached, he said. The cafeteria aides were also necessary to keep everything work- ing properly. Their duties includ- ed preparing and selling perhaps the most important commodity for both students and teachers— food. Without this needed mer- chandise, the school could not function, thus emphasizing the importance of the cafeteria aides. For the support groups, such as the custodial staff and cafeteria aides, life was sometimes difficult. Sometimes they weren't appreci- ated, given enough respect or given a fair deal. What people didn't realize was that without these support groups the school would collapse. •The CSEA Contract was finalized on October 29. jC CUSTODIAL AHD SECURITY STAFF Front row: Lenny Celeste.

The hard work of the entire Boys' Track team reached its ze- nith when they recaptured the Conference I League A Championship. The decisive win came when the team defeated Bell- more-Kennedy, who had shattered the team's unde- feated record of 56-0-1 in the previous years. That was when I knew revenge was sweet, said senior Ross Goldflam. Though the Girls' Track team consisted of many young athletes, their indi- vidual accomplishments proved the team worthy con- tenders of the sport. The seasoned coaching of Bob Guarino aided Dina Cirillo, Mary Ellen Cursio, Lisa Ca- tanzaro and Kellie Splain to place fifth overall in the 4x400 meter relay at the County Championship Meet. The 4x400 meter relay team of juniors Leslie Purr, Angie Costic, Kellie Splain and 1985 graduate Latonia Early placed second overall in the Section 8 relay meet, setting a new school record. The success of both teams was attributed to an espe- cially high morale among the teams.

J A 37 J WE DON’T GET NO RESPECT Despite a 10-1 season, students still ask, We have a golf team? ”... if you play it well, it can be euphoric. If you play it poorly it can be tortuous - Phil fiusted. Golf Coach Rodney Dangerfield would have been proud. The golf team got no respect in spite of their 10-2 record. This team, which never had cheering fans, was not new either. Surprisingly to some, they have been around as long as the football team- since 1962. According to Phil Husted, the new coach, It's better now than it ever was, and it keeps getting better. Pour days a week, for about three hours a day the team prac- ticed at Bethpage State Park. Their matches were played on the blue and green courses, which are about 72 shots for par. The only two losses they suffered were to Syosset. The team was lead by junior rioah Rosenberg, senior Karl Steinhauserand sophomore Danny Bums. In his first year of coach- ing, Coach Husted s philos- ophy on successful golfing played a critical part in their triumphs. The most impor- tant thing to remember in golf is technique, essential for achieving a good score, said Coach Husted. Hoah Rosenberg blurted out the team's sentiment in this terse statement, We re great and we know it, but there's always room for more fans! Drew Saur, Tracy Simon . If J' ■ I� ' . % • , i.

Our loss was disappointing, but we can t look back, said junior Kev- in Daniels. The Junior Varsity La- crosse team had a similarly outstanding season. Under the direction of their coach, Bruce Tetelman and the leadership of team captain, Matthew Hayden, junior, they were able to bounce back from a losing streak and win the League IA Cham- pionships. The fighting spirit of the JV team was easily visible. Dur- ing one game against Syos- set, they tied the score and went into overtime. Even after a sudden death over- time, the score remained tied.

We had a different hero each game and guys going up and down from JV to varsity - we still had enough talent to win. - Pete Cerrone, JV Coach The green-and-white-uni- formed batter glared at the Massapequa players. Even though his team was visit- ing, the fans' cheers for him overwhelmed those for Mas- sapequa. The team had to win this game to get into the playoffs. Losing by three runs the Dalers fought back in the top of the ninth. With two outs and a man on first, senior David Amodio hit a soaring home run. The shouts from the team grew louder, but to no avail. With a fly ball and a simple out, their playoff dreams were over. The varsity team, despite not rtiaking the playoffs, had many outstanding individ- uals. Dave Cook, 1985 grad- uate, was chosen All-Confer- ence, Dave Amodio was se- lected for All-Division and senior Pete Melore was given an honorable mention. Ironically, the JV team clinched their second straight championship by defeating Massapequa 15-6. The JV team's season was highlighted by a sweep of their archrivals three games to zero. Syosset was the most exciting series we ever had, said coach Pete Cerrone. Senior Chris Wildes sum- marized the season best.

J Our Turn To Score While the JV team showed potential in its premiering season, varsity made playoffs for the third consecutive season We were hungry to win. One goal did not satisfy us'' - Janine Compi- teiio, junior What do we want?'' yelled Coach Dugan. Goals!! screamed the girls in reply. TURN IT AROUND All-County player Rita Rubino (7) maneuvers around an aggressive Jean Turner of Baldwin. Rita pivoted away from her and left-footed the ball to tie up the score on the way to a 2- 1 victory. Goals and more goals got the varsity team into the playoffs. But what were be- hind those goals? ’’Hard work and a good attitude are the key words to a good soccer team, said Teresa Cuccio, senior. The season record of 8-5-1 displayed that this team had what it takes to be a successful team. Coach Jim Dugan said, It was a good season. They (the girls) did their best and won the games needed to get into the playoffs.'' The girls' attitudes helped them get through the first round of playoffs by defeat- ing Oceanside by a score of 3-1. The next game of the playoffs was against Bemer. Unfortunately, the girls did not hold up against the very skilled team and lost to them, 5-1. Commenting on the loss, Cindy Stimpfel, sophomore, said, We had the talent, but we just did not apply ourselves. Throughout the season certain players proved to have outstanding soccer abilities.

We were underrated all season but turned out to be tough compet- itors. - Coach Lewis Bernard Two minutes left. They had two minutes to make it work. It was the first round of the playoffs. The score was tied 1-1 with a goal by senior Joe Qiacobbe. Both teams played hard, but Massape- qua triumphed in breaking through the strong defense and scoring. The varsity boys team had lost and it showed. It was a heart- breaker ' said Coach Lewis Bernard. Massapequa was ranked third in the county. We weren't even ranked ' com- mented Mike Boccafola, se- nior. We almost beat them. It was a very emotional game.'' The team was satisfied with the outcome of the season. They captured first place in Division III with a record of 12-2. No one ex- pected them to come that close. I was overjoyed ' stated Archie Defendini, as- sistant coach. We had that record not because of the team, but the players on the team. They don't know how to lose. After being down to Law- rence by three goals at half- time, everyone exploded to comeback and win 4-3. This game built up the character of the team. Coach Bernard was good about things, said co-captain Scott Giar- dina, sophomore, he al- ways gave us confidence and encouragement.'' Offense was very impor- tant. Brian Foresta, senior. scored seven game-winning goals. 'Buzz' was fantastic. He always knew how to get around the defense, added Coach Defendini. Brian For- esta was rated All-Division along with senior Danny Arenholz, Mike Boccafola and Scott Giardina. As so- phomores, Tom Boccafola and Scott Giardina will be back to help lead the team next season as sweeper and goalie, respectively. The second game against Wantagh was the turning point. With a 1-0 lead and 38 minutes left to play, Scott Kamean received a red card and was ejected from the game. No substitution was allowed. Even with their one- man advantage, Wantagh, the first place team, was beaten 2-0. Wejust had the desire to win it and we played outstanding defense, com- mented Coach Defendini. When the junior varsity team shut out Lawrence 7-0, Keith Donnelly, sophomore, and Chris Bottjer, sopho- more, had both scored two goals. Jeff Damo, Mike Fish- man and Ed Glascott each scored once. These high scoring games were com- mon. Coached by Walt Brem, the team ended its season with a record of 13-1-1. That was a record anyone could be proud of.

' Q J Tackling The Opposition As Varsity made it to the conference fi- nals, JV won its 4th first place title in 5 years O J J We were good, but Hempstead was better - Dan Macari, co-captain The crowd roared-a com- mon scene at a home foot- ball game. Whether the fans were down in the dumps, or they're having a ball, they still loved their team. But just what is it that makes a team so likeable? Dedication,'' says Varsity Football coach, Don Snyder. These guys start training - tough training - in around the third week in August. They lift weights and put themselves through some pretty intense workouts. That's why they're as good as they are. Mo one can argue that the team did its best, even though it faced some pretty rough competition along the way to the championship game. The championship game against Hempstead was a tough one. They had more experience playing on Astro- Turf; they played at Hofstra last year, and we didn't. Overall, though, I think we out-hit them, said Peter Melore, senior. We wanted to win that game, said se- nior, Joe Cardone, but even though we didn't, it wasn't a losing season; we still had a really good team. Coached by Pete Cerrone and Robert Guarino, JV foot- ball produced some of the Finest football players in Nas- sau County. Some statistics: It Finished in First place for the fourth time in the last five years, and it won 42 out of its past 46 games. People didn't think very much of our team, said Coach Cerrone, After we lost to Uniondale, Coach Guarino and I worked the team harder; hard enough to break Hempstead's 55 game winning streak in a major upset. The result of this hard work? An impressive 7- 1 season. Dedication. Our football teams have it. And so do their fans.

What the heck is that? you ask. It's annoying—that's all I know. What it actually was was the Winter Track team run- ning their laps in the hall- ways. Unlike other athletic activi- ties, the Winter Track teams, both boys' and girls' were not team competition sports. Rather, it was more of a training period for spring track. According to Coach Bob Guarino the main pur- pose of winter track was to give the school's young athletes a chance to experi- ence the thrill of real compe- tition. Cross Country Track, which contained many mem- bers who went on to run winter track, had a very successful season,'' accord- ing to Scott Cameron, se- nior. Although we lost more than we won, we all felt a good effort was put in. It's quite an endurance test. said All-Conference, All-Division Greg Kozlowski, senior.

A variety of leisure sports are available each season to keep the normal active per- son busy. ”1 change leisure sports with the seasons, said Mike Koopman, junior, This lets me do a lot of things over the year. Street hockey is one sport I play year round. Street hockey and dek hockey are quickly growing in popularity. Dek hockey is basically played like ice hockey but on a deck with five players to a team plus a goalie. It is known to be a rough sport. Girls who don't like rough sports either play tennis, softball, or bike ride. But guys and girls can play practically any leisure sport together. Popular sports for guys and girls to participate in together include frisbee. swimming, and volleyball. Singular sports are also popular leisure sports. Skate- boarding has reemerged as a leading source of fun for high school kids. Stunts on skateboards or dirt bikes pro- vide dangerous thrills and excitement.

We have all our sopho- mores returning so I can t wait to play them- -no other team comes close to them, except us. - Coach Irv Apgar The tension built up inside the girls gymnasium. The fans fell silent. Attentively, they watched the server wipe the sweat from her brow. It was 'crunch time --time to see if the team could handle the pressure that every athlete must face. This event occurred fre- quently for the Girls' Badmin- ton team. Their overall record was 12-2, which was outstand- ing considering this was the first year that Irv Apgar coa- ched the team. He said I'm very proud of the girls. They worked hard and deserved every win. They were a plea- sure to coach.'' The team finished in second place to Freeport, who was responsi- ble for their two losses. The matches with Freeport were very exciting and highly com- petitive. At the end of the key matches with them, their fans and ours would get into heat- ed arguments ' said 1985 graduate Barbara nelson. Badminton is primarily an individual sport and players have to work on their own game. We had, though, many individual stars who brought the team into the playoffs, stated Coach Apgar. First singles player Heidi Hoken- son, 1985 graduate, ended her season with an outstand- ing 12-1 record. Also, 1985 graduates Mary Ann Graf and Lisa O'Leary, first and second singles respectively, finished with 12-2 records. The first doubles team of Linda Klenov- ich and Barbara Nelson, 1985 graduates, had a record of 9-3. The second, third and fourth doubles combined for a 19-6 standing. Being a first-year coach of badminton. Coach Apgar was understandably enthusiastic. As each match came to a close he encouraged and con- gratulated the girls more and more. This brought a tremen- dous burst of confidence at ‘crunch time'' in the games. The girls have a tradition that after each game they would personally evaluate their play and where they could have improved. Adjustments had to be made concerning Coach Apgar's different techniques, but the transition was made smoothly. “It was a little diffi- cult to get used to a new coach's way of doing things, as it was hard for him to adjust to coaching a girls' team as opposed to boys' teams. In the end, it was like he was our coach for years, said 1985 graduate Janet Gerhard. Coach Apgar said that compared to football and wrestling, which are high in- tensity sports, badminton was so much more relaxing and less stressful. The year would have been perfect, if they could only have beaten Freeport. Adam Berkowitz in roK the kill Maureen Graf (10) swats the birdie for a winner against Lawrence.

The doubles team of Mike Fishman and Andres Castillo, sophomores, won all their matches except for one during the entire sea- son. The future looks bright because we have rookies on the team who were seriously competitive in the sport ' commented Phil Mooney, senior. The talents of 1985 graduates Steven Smith, Howard Mintz and Louis Leyes greatly con- tributed to the success of the team. Marc Masciovecchio, se- nior, said. If you win, it's because you won and not anyone else. Though the team may lose you can still win individually.'' Senior Patty Angwin stated that playing tennis was a fun and thrilling experience while providing me with challenges and personal sat- isfaction.'' Patty and senior Donna Hasley contributed not only their abilities to the team but also their experience to younger teammates. Making an amazing comeback from last year's season of 1-13, the girls' tennis team im- proved to 7-8. Maria Ortiz, sophomore, along with her sisters Carolina and Veron- ca, juniors, who formed what Coach Leonard Marino called the Chilean Connec- tion , had a very productive season and greatly aided to the success of the team. The team was made up of a fine bunch of young ladies who formed a cohesive will- balanced squad,'' said Coach Marino. Both teams exhibited much mutual support while accomplishing individual goals. They hoped to im- prove individually and as a team under the coaching of Mr. Marino. Anne marie Bambino L LOOK OUT LENDL! 7 In practice.

Moreen sunk a 15-foot jump shot to secure a 42-41 win. Although the girls had a young team (having lost four graduating players) it did not stop them. They ended their season with an undefeated league record of 14-0, and nailed the Conference Championship title for the fourth consecutive season since Coach Pete Cerrone took over in 1980. Their luck ran out when in the quarterfi- nals of the County Champi- onship playoffs, Plainedge scored with four seconds remaining to win 47-46. It was a lucky shot,'' comment- ed Teresa Cuccio, senior, on the basket that ended their winning streak. Another highlight of the season was when the girls beat Berner by an impressive score of 52-45. 'They're our archrivals,'' said Coach Cerrone. We had to play good defense and hustle a lot. Moreen Winterfeldt, sophomore, led that game with 15 points. Besides Winterfeldt, Rita Rubino, junior, greatly aided the team with her abilities. Rita set a school record with 16 assists in the 62-48 victo- ry over Micksville. The JV Girls' team almost matched the varsity team's impressive record despite their rocky start. Both teams worked hard throughout the season and their records proved it!

We've got some very young kids who are going to be with us for 3 or 4 more years. The nucleus is here. - Coach Carl Savalli Tuesday or Friday nights, go to the boys' gym. Listen. Close your eyes. Listen to the sounds of varsity and J.V. basketball games. Squeaking sneakers and the bouncing basketballs are only part of it. If you follow basketball, you can feel the intensity on the floor. It is something you just sense. It's high school basketball. Intense'' is just one ad- jective to describe this sea- son. It was a very tough losing season for the varsity. They came on near the end of the season to close stron- gly. In a game against liicksville, which featured a bench-clearing brawl and a controversial ending, the team came closest to win- ning. On the final play of the game, Hicksville's Chris Marino apparently took a shot after the buzzer had sounded. The referees mis- takenly counted the basket enabling Hicksville to win 46- 45. At the beginning of the season the team lost senior Chris Wildes to an injury. Mis younger brother. Matt, a freshman played well in his place. The J.V. had a successful season. They were led by junior Mike Robbert and so- phomores Mike Fishman and Eddie Marschesault. They might have been called the Cardiac Kids because of their last second overtime wins.

At Margerie Post Park on Unqua Road in Massapequa, watch the ice hockey games. The players aren't named Gret- sky, Bossy or Trottier, but Tomeo, Taylor and Ricker. They play an interesting game of hockey. It's not really who scored, it's who hit or got hit. Go to the body and that's how you qet no- ticed. During their season the team was too often on the recieving end of those hits. That explains the team's3-9- 1 record. What makes this different from any other sport is that it is privately supported. Unlike the school supported sports like football, basketball and soc- cer, everything is paid for by the players. The boys have to get their own equipment. That isn't bad but we also have to pay 15 dollars a session every time we use the ice,'' said Coach Dennis Ferguson. One reason for this is that because of the violent nature of hockey, the insurance for the players would be very high if the school paid for it. One thing very surprising is that there has been a team for 16 years. Most students didn't even know there is a team. In fact, they were champions just two years ago. The nucleus is here for a talented team. Adam Taylor, Chris Romney, sophomores, and Ricky Gerhard, junior, will all be back. Maybe some- day the team will be repre- sented in the HHL—this is where it all begins. Adam Berkowitz TAKE A BREATHER Defenseman Paul Ritchie (16) rests after his shift during a game with Syosset.

This room was filled with wrestlers who practiced daily after school. Why the music? It motivates us and pumps us up to do well ' said Joey Singer, sopho- more. Two of the biggest assets to the varsity team were Dave Amodio, senior and Marty Dixon, sophomore. Amodio, a very experienced wrestler, ranked fourth in nassau County. Dixon who was undefeated in his sea- son matches, was the county champion as of January 15, and was ranked sixth in the state last year. Also Joe Cardone, senior, placed first in the county champion- ships. At the Syosset Tourna- ment the varsity team placed second to the outstanding Walt Whitman team. Marty Dixon defeated MacAuthur's Sam Winter 8-5 to capture first place. Joe Cardone and Dave Amodio also emerged triumphant. In the league the varsity team failed to beat Berner despite individual victories by Dixon, Tony Caponga and Jeff Qorddard. The varsity team placed third in their division. The J.V. team was also very successful this season. Their only loss was to Massa- pequa 20-17. Scott Apgar placed first while Jeff Qord- dard, Pete Ruggiero, Mike Arcuri, Mike Daly and Heil Cohen also placed at the Syosset Tournament.

Girls' Gymnastics The silence during the meets is nerve wracking. The pressure for perfection is intense. Practices are body wrenching. Why would any- one go through this type of punishment? An answer giv- en by both boys' and girls' gymnastics teams was for fun. It is actually not that bad, agreed both teams. This year's teams consisted of many new members, experi- enced but eager. It wasn't as bad as I thought. I plan to come back again next year, said freshman Joe Dalto. The feeling was mutual for Lisa riugent who said, I am having a blast and I can't wait until next season! The boys' team had an average season, completing a season of 3-2. Considering the loss of some outstanding seniors, it wasn't a bad sea- son. They were young and very competitive in that their losses were by a close mar- gin. In their final meet against Locust Valley, they managed to squeek by, by six-tenths of a point. Danny Langan, senior-captain explained, We accom- plished all that we set out to do. We won a couple of meets and we showed that Farmingdale would not fall apart over the loss of guys like Tom Schmitt.' He also added, I know these will continue to excel in gymnas- tics after we leave. Troy Fabregas, junior co- captain said, We had to accept the loss of some good gymnasts, but we con- centrated much harder to prove ourselves. However, the boys weren't alone in losing key athletes. The girls' team lost high scorers from the 1985 sea- son. They had a record of 0- 5. Their coach Haney Wohls- en felt that the team was very young and inexperi- enced,'' and have a lot of raw talent which can be developed. The team had freshman, sophomores and even some eighth graders. Debbie Persche, an eighth grader, said, I find it fun and chal- lenging competing with ol- der girls; it makes me bet- ter.'' Michelle Cohen, co-cap- tain felt that this was a good year to gain valuable experi- ence. Only time will tell whether the experience they gain now will help in the future.

Who were these people? What did they do? And how were they really the ones who made it all hap- pen? Laboring tirelessly many hours into the weeknight were the coaches. Their pa- tience and guidance were vital contributions to the atti- tude and performance of their teams. They were al- ways there to give a word of constructive criticism or maybe a word of praise.

Any team would go abso- lutely nuts if they didn't have their water at halftime. There would be many complica- tions if no one kept the time, statistics, and brought the first aid kits along. These jobs were carried out by the man- agers and other students who would like to get in- volved indirectly in sports. Being a manager had its ups and downs. Michele Roma- nelli, lacrosse manager, summed it up by stating. Being a manager carries a lot of responsibility but you also get to be a real part of the team. You share their victories and defeats. Nothing looked better at a game than a full crowd screaming their heads off in the bleachers. When the game is close, and I hear the fans cheering us on , it gives us the edge. said Mike Persche. lacrosse player. Last but not least, dear ol' mom and dad always helped out in the tough situations. Whether it be car pools or clean uniforms, or maybe it was iust a word of moral support, parents have had an essential part in high school sports. Parents func- tion as coach, manager and fan all in one, said Pete Cerrone. coach, without their support no team would survive. Many different people were needed to make the seasons come together. Of course the players were im- portant but never forget the others who were backing up the plays.

Mot only does the lion symbolize royalty and strength but a group of lions is known as a pride. Thus, the Daler Lion has become the mark of school pride and a symbol recognized throughout Long Island. Built on 33 acres of swampy landfill bought in 1958 for $375,000, ms was opened in 1961. The original architects, Wiedersum Associates, constructed a six million dollar facility for 2,300 students after an earlier proposal to build two smaller high schools (the other would have stood on the Liberty site on Motor Avenue) was altered. A major expansion took place in 1970. A pool, the art and shop rooms, and the Commons were added. These additions, designed by Knappe and Johnson, increased the pupil capacity by 50% and cost approximately 5'h million dollars. On the pages to follow.

The twelve year old crest which hangs above the lordly lion, was originated and designed by Mr. McLennan, our former principal. Mis creativity united with the emblem on a pack of Pall Mall Cigarettes established yet another chapter in Farmingdale's history. In order to thank Mr. McLennan for giving them the symbols of strength and spirit, for the first time, the Class of 1968 presented him with a plaque. Upon the plaque there exists an in- scription that reads: These heraldic lions show strength and courage: their crowns signify Kingly Honor and integ- rity. The lamp represents knowledge and truth, with its searching flame of wisdom. This majestic shield is halved in traditional green and white. The seal portrays the hopes and aspira- tions of its scholastic community.” The crest and the lion were con- stantly visible to the students for they also appeared on class rings, jackets, bookcovers, and school stationery. They served to remind students of the achievements they have attained dur- ing their four special and distinct years at Farmingdale.

But how did this special book come about? Back in 1924, eight members of the junior class organized themselves, their goal, and their effort to form a school newspaper. Under their first advisor Miss Alberta Berg, they established the proud name, Mi- Life. In the first year they proved suc- cessful with two newspapers and a special June issue. This special issue combined the staff's journalistic abili- ties as newspaper reporters and maga- zine feature writers. It included senior portraits, write ups, class poem, will Sc prophecy, literary contributions, and class, athletic, and alumni notes. The price of this special was 25$. By 1929, eight issues of the news- paper were rolling off the press along with the very special annual June issue. Eventually, after many success- ful, productive years, Mi-Life changed their newspaper status into a year- book which was issued every June. The publication changed its soft cover into hard, raised the price to $3.50, and grew larger and larger every year. by Drew Saur ANDREW SICA DENNIS DeVITO BROADWAY DELICATESSEN Catering for All Occasions Boar's Head Cold Cuts Used Exclusively Home Made Salads (516) 798-9817 924 Broadway N.

One wouldn't be able to walk through the Commons because there wasn't any. Instead, there was a court- yard connecting it to the library. The library was quite different then also. Ever wonder how the library got its name? Well, from 1957 to 1963 a very dedicated woman, Yvonne Bourgeious, acted as first librarian. Through hard work and long hours, Mrs. Bourgeious donated her time to the development of the library. In gratitude to her, they named the library after her. From the time she worked until the present, the library has undergone several renovations. It has been ex- panded to two stories with over 24,000 books, periodicals and other refer- ence materials. A Career and College Comer has been added to the upstairs section to provide additional informa- tion for college-bound seniors. The most important change was that the library has become audio- visual oriented. The three additional AV rooms are the AV Office, the Listening Room and the Roslyn Meu- hauser Audio-Visual Room. Though the library has almost changed completely from when it first open it still serves the same purpose as when it opened. BEST WISHES TO CLASS OF 1986 from CHARLES J.

Well, there is no better way than through the eyes of the first editor-in-chief; Leslie Wood. She became editor-in-chief of Hi- Life in 1961. During an awards cere- mony in the gym of Howitt, the then high school, she was named editor-in- chief of Hi-Life by the head of the business department, Mr. Freeman. I knew I had a good chance of being chosen , Leslie said, 'but Mr. Free- man never let on who was his choice. She was very proud to be chosen out of the many classmates she had. Being an editor was a feather in my cap Leslie said. In 1962 the yearbook coverage was very different from the yearbook today. The yearbook today is more personal” as she put it. Apparently the 1962 yearbook wasn't as specific in the trends and fads of the year. When you look back at your year- book twenty years from now, those are the things that will bring back your senior year Leslie said. She also said that they had fewer photographs and they were all in black and white. Carrying on the tradition Leslie's daughter, Bess, also a student at FHS joined the staff. I guess history does repeat itself, said Ken Schwinn, Bess has become a great asset and why not, look at whose daughter she is. DR. CALDERONE AND DR.

As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all per- sons. 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.TA.

The Lecture Hall of course. When school opened in 1961. One of the most important persons in our educational system had his name permanently placed in our school. The Thomas Guilford Lecture hall was named after our most dominant superintendent. Thomas Guilford was the superin- tendent from 1958 to 1965. In a short period of time, he accomplished more than anyone prior to him. Among his many accomplishments were: - raised bond issue of 6 million dollars to build school - introduced tracking system (HR. R. and G) - introduced no grade lower than 50 rule - initiated foreign language When the building was built, he made sure a lecture hall was also built for large group instruction. When the Lecture Hall was used, teachers found teaching a large group was less time consuming, and more interesting. The Lecture Hall stands with the name of one of our most important educators above its door. Thomas Guilford made education possible in the high school and also made it more enriched.

The new message of the radical young generation. It was then that the changes began. The late sixties, the early seven- ties. A time that affected us more than we realize. We might not have had the freedoms that we did, if it weren't for the students who walked through our hallways before us. Things were very different then. People generally think of Catholic schools and private schools having dress codes, but back in the sixties, so did Farmingdale. Shivan Riddle, class of 1968 alumnus said. We got to the point that we didn't care about the dress codes. First, the female teachers were allowed to wear slacks instead of skirts. After that, we all started to dress more casually. Smoking was taken much more seriously back then too. No one was permitted to smoke anywhere on school property - and there was no pool to hide behind. The Vietnam War was a frighten- ing thought for the students during the sixties and seventies. The students united and rallied together at several times. A 1970 alumnus said, Deep down we all felt like one. holding rallies like we did, had never been done before. People looked at us as if we were Communists, but, at the time, we thought we were doing the right thing. (Cont'd. on page 260) WanLr't Quality blowers J)nc.

When most said, “No hope, he can t”; You said, ‘ ‘Oh yes I can, ’ ’ and stood up once again to try. You have been an inspiration to me and have deeply touched so many. love you. Love, Mom Ch’er fifty friends surrounded Wayne and sang a very special Happy 18th Birthday. There was a deafening roar as everyone started to chant Wayne, Wayne. ” The roar ended only after ten minutes of cheers and a huge round of applause. It was a night of happiness for Wayne. Sometimes, things happen to people that seem very unfair. Wayne Staebler, a fellow senior and dear friend, is fighting a battle we all pray we ’ll never have to confront. It started with an arm ache, one that anyone of us might experience. After seeing a doctor, however, he found out he had a tumor, one which was malignant and had spread to his lungs. Most people in Wayne’s position would not make it. Wayne is a fighter. He has an endless and boundless supply of courage - an inner strength-immeasurable and friends who will always be there for him. Through many visits in the hospital and long treatments, his friends have never and will never let him out of their minds. Day after day in the hospital, his room overflowed with so many friends. It was a casual and happy atmosphere, however,-not depressing or sad. Nothing else can say more about Wayne. He never complains about his condition and refuses to let it get to him. For his bravery and his courage we, his senior classmates, dedicate this page to Wayne, and we all pray for his total recovery. - Mike Negri Editor's Note: To our great sorrow, Wayne passed away on May 9, 1986.

He kept worrying about the rain. He said, 'If it rains on Tuesday, we’ll have it on Thursday. If it rains on Thursday, you don t gradu- ate!’ - Andrew Manzo, al- lumnus It Starts With Graduation Hurricane Gloria struck Long Island on September 28 with a mighty rage that knocked down sheds, up- rooted trees and broke win- dows. Over 2.75 million customers were stranded without electricity for days, even weeks. But David Kut- ler, junior, stated, “I'm just happy to have a battery- operated T.V.” On October 19, the vil- lage shook as an earthquake hit while most everyone was asleep. “I thought the boiler exploded, said Chetan Sati, junior. It really was an earthquake, however, mea- suring 3.5 on the Richter scale, too slight to do much damage. Robert Kollar, ju- nior, saw this as a bad omen. “I hope this had nothing to do with my PSAT scores.” The PSAT was held the same day. Steven Slomovicz A graduation ceremony is something that is never forgotten. It is the time w hen the seniors of the high school leave and continue with their lives. Basically the ceremony is the same throughout America; pomp and circumstance, the cap and gowns, and the awards, but most importantly, the object which required four years of grueling effort-the diploma. However, gradua- tion meant a new start for the underclassmen, espe- cially the juniors who be- came seniors. Usually held in the gym- nasium of the SUNY Far- mingdale Campus in the daytime, last year's gradua- tion was different. It was held outside on the high school football field in the evening. As always, the boys were dressed in green caps and gowns and the girls in white. Music was provided by the combined efforts of the Symphonic Band and the Wind Ensemble under the direction of Brad DeMi- lo. Giving the opening and closing speeches were Mar- jorie McAteer, salutatorian, and Steven Smith, valedic- torian. Several teachers decided to “graduate” along with the students. Retirees wore black caps and gowns. From the home economics depart- ment, Mrs. Ruth Mace and Mrs. Anne Hcany retired. The English department included Mrs. Regina Monahan, Mrs. Martha Harris, Ed Nicodemi and Mrs. Joan Kahn. Math teachers who retired were Mrs. Rene Pasternack. Mrs. Silvia Breddan and Salva- tore Tcssiore. Sheridan Martin and Al Tint retired from the science depart- ment, and the industrial arts department lost Jack Kiri- luk and Vincent Giordano. Emmett Donnelly left the guidance office. But this year the new group of seniors are ready to HATS OFF! Hundreds of happy graduates throw their caps into the air at graduation. For most this was a turning point in their lives. graduate. Frank Tepedino and Theresa Anderson, valedictorian and salutato- rian respectively, will help make this year's graduation as successful as the last. And the cycle continues. Not only do seniors go out to conquer the world, all other students are promoted to a more challenging year of education. Frank Fusco MLK Day One of the greatest civil rights leaders in this coun- try was finally recognized this year. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was given a national holiday. From now on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day will be held on Janu- ary 20. Dr. King was one of the first to use “passive resistance” or nonviolence in America to get his ideas of equal rights across. Simple marches, demonstra- tions and boycotts were all that Dr. King used as opposed to the violent destruction that was going on during the 1960’s when students were protesting the Vietnam War. Dr. King also became an important leader against the war. belonging to the Clergy and Layman Con- cerned About Vietnam. The man who was respon- sible for the better condi- tions between the races, the man who had a dream, is now remembered. Steven Slomovicz Local News NEW YORK.

UP IN SMOKE The Wagner Feed building went on fire due to a mishap with chem- icals. Nearly 1000 people were evacuated. F’dale Fire On June I, the Wagner Bros. Seed Corp. ware- house on Sccatogue Ave- nue was completely de- stroyed by fire at about 2:45 AM. It took the Farmingdalc Fire De- partment and six other fire companies to bring it under control. At a meeting held at the town hall, Farming- dale fire chief Michael Kelly said that the fire was caused by lightning. The lightning hit a grain storage area, and the fire spread towards the chem- icals. Over a thousand residents were forced to evacuate the Farmingdalc and East Far- mingdalc areas. William Ahrens, junior, saw the flames from his house. He said, “I wasn't evacuated but I could sec it. It was huge! After everything had been quiet for a while, the new problem was checking for contamination. Many reports were made of trees and lawns becoming disco- lored. or actually dying. Airbag samples were taken to see if any chemical dam- age had been done by Wag- ner to these people's homes or if it was merely a possible scorching of the fire. Wag- ner offered to pay for the correction of any contami- nation damage. Sure enough there were traces of the chemicals that Wag- ner Bros. had. The affected houses were decontaminated by workers, hired by Wag- ner, who sprayed the trees and lawns. However, it looks doubtful that the Wagner Bros, warehouse will be rebuilt at its previ- ous location. Steven Slomovicz Local News The Threat of AIDS For years the country has been trying to find ways of curing certain diseases such as cancer or genetic disor- ders. But at present the fastest-growing disease in America is AIDS. Unfortu- nately researchers and scientists have not yet been able to find a cure or even an effective treatment. AIDS is not actually a disease. The word is an acronym for Acquired Im- mune Deficiency Syn- drome. It can be transferred by either of two ways. Sexu- al intercourse is apparently the main way of contracting AIDS making it seem like a type of venereal disease. However unlike V.D., a patient with AIDS cannot be cured of the virus. In this country an overwhelming percentage of these victims are homosexual, but the experts state that this is irrelevant. There has been a widespread epidemic of AIDS in South Africa as well, and most of the pa- AIDS VICTIM Rock Hudson's diagnosis of AIDS sparked an increasing interest in the battle of the little known virus. tients there arc heterosex- ual. The second way to con- tract the virus is by being injected with a needle carry- ing the virus. The blood banks in America must be especially careful that a clean needle is used every time blood is taken. Ironi- cally the Board of Health now requires drug users to receive their own needles so that they won’t contract AIDS. Perhaps the man who received the most attention for his contracting the virus was actor Rock Hudson. His death intensified many questions concerning AIDS. Should AIDS children go to school? Is there a cure? Steven Slomovicz Philadelphia Bombing Trying to justify a trage- dy is never easy, especially in the case of the Philadel- phia bombing when 11 peo- ple were killed and 250 were left homeless. The Philadelphia police dropped a bomb on the headquarters of the MOVE cult. MOVE, a radical group of blacks who had turned their home into an armed fortress, was a Phila- delphia based organization which held extreme enviro- mental views. The group actively engaged in urban terrorism and pyschological warfare. The police, reac- ting to public pressure, gave many warnings to evacuate the house. The warnings were ignored. Under the direct orders of the mayor, a bomb was dropped on the house. The bomb caused a fire which spread through several blocks killing inno- cent people. “There was no excuse for it,” said Sylvia Weiss, freshman. “They shouldn't have killed bystanders.” Dr. Steven Kussin, principal, agreed replying, “Any incident when there’s an innocent loss of life needs an explana- tion.” A full explanation was certainly needed. Eve Eskin A New Tax Plan Taking from the rich and giving to the poor, well not exactly. But Presi- dent Ronald Reagan's new tax plan may certainly help middle-income families. The general philosophy behind Reagan s proposed tax plan is to have lower, (latter and fewer rates and not as many deductions and loopholes. Many revisions on the current tax structure will be made. The present tax bracket structure will be lessened from five brackets to three: 35%, 25% and 15%. Personal exemptions are going to be increased. The current individual exemption of SI.040 will be raised to $2000. earlier plans phased this ceiling in annually. Deductions will be changed and limited. Slate . local and property taxes will no longer be deductible Consumer loan and second home mortgage interest deductions will be limited. Charitable contribution de- duction arc being left as before. The top rate of corporate tax will be reduced from 46%- to 33%. Be- cause of this reduction, small busi- nessmen will have to pay less. President Reagan contends that his proposed tax plan will help the American taxpayer. There are mixed views about that statement. Sopho- more Amy Weston said. “Not being able to deduct local and state taxes will hurt people from New York because our states taxes are so high Nancy Junge, sophomore, said, “The tax bracket change will help most people because a majority of the middle class will have to pay less.” Elissa Levine A.O.K.

National News A New York Cardinal The threatening skies among the few raindrops did not stop the 10,000 people from jamming into St. Peter's Square to witness the rare crowning of the 28 new cardinals by Pope John Paul II. Dressed in the deep red vestments of their office, the 28 men. including John J. O'Connor, knelt at the Pope’s feet as he placed a simple gold ring on their left hands as a symbol of their rank and special tics with his papacy. The 28 new cardi- nals also received red hats, which singled them out as members of the church's select group The elevation of O'Connor. 65. was the highlight of his second career. A retired rear-admiral in the navy and chief of U.S. chaplains. O’Connor was handed the job of bishop of New York just a short time ago and now accepted the responsibilities of a cardinal. For New York Roman Catholics, seeing their bishop in cardinal red was cause for an imme- diate celebration. O'Connor, the type of person who enjoys platforms and parades, flourished under the bright lights Among the 10,000 people w ho gathered for the installation were many from New York City as well as from Scranton. Pennsylvania, where O’Connor was bishop before coming to New York The delegation from New York included Mayor Fdward Koch and Matilda Cuomo, the gover- nor's wife Since O’Connor inherited the arch diocese, he has demonstrated efforts to help the homeless, unwed mothers and to solve the financial problems of his new home. During the 1984 prcsidcntal election. O’Connor was in the middle of national attention as he voiced his opinion on several topics, and now many people, inside the church and out. arc betting that with his new hat atop his head he will feel even freer to assert his own views. Joan TagUenti A CLASSIC CASE Joshua Margolics and James Kroulch store cans of Coca-Cola Classic in a locker. Saving cans for the 5c deposit was ad adjustment for everyone. Our teacher didn’t like it when we left our soda cans in class so we hid them in a locker. Coca-Cola Classic is the only thing we store, be- cause its the best. - Josh Margolies, James Kroutch, juniors Reagan Beats Cancer The entire nation became worried along with Nancy and Ronald Reagan when the president told reporters that he had cancer. Similar- ly, the country was relieved when it heard of his come- back. “Thank God he was all right!” shouted Phillip San- tangelo, junior. “I couldn't imagine George Bush as president.” For a few days after Reagan went into the hospital for colon cancer treatment Vice-President George Bush ran the coun- try and there were no disast- ers. Just as a celebrity like Rock Hudson brought about concern in the coun- try about AIDS, President Reagan stirred up America to find out more about cancer. The National Can- cer Institute received 2,500 more calls nationwide on colon cancer then usual. Reagan wouldn't let the discomfort of his condition stop him. He gave inter- views and press conferences from his bed. Steven Slomovicz The Choice is Yours Coke is it, or isn't it? Well it was, until recently when the Coca-Cola Company de- cided to change its 99-year- old formula. The new formula has a new sweetner which makes the product taste more like Pepsi. Along with the new taste came an increase of ten calories. The Coca-Cola Company says the change came be- cause of increased sales of Pepsi, and Coke wants to recapture the market. Sales of Coke dropped sharply, and although in taste tests the new Coke beat Pepsi, there were still many loyal “Old Coke” drinkers who resented the change. The group known as the Old Coke Drinkers of America took action to let the Coca- Cola Company know about their feelings. Obviously hearing the people's opinions, the com- pany decided to switch back to the original forumla under the name Coca-Cola Classic, while still keeping the new Coke on the market. Amer- ica finally has a real choice. Jon Paul Fortunato National News “The space shuttle launch- ing was on cable so thought I'd watch it.

Just 72 seconds after a picture-perfect liftoff the space shuttle Challenger was en- gulfed in a huge fireball, taking the lives of the seven crew members aboard. The nation, as well as the world, was shocked and expressed disbe- lief that such a tragic accident could have occurred. After 56 successful launches space flight had seemed commonplace. Ameri- cans took the shuttle program for granted, never realizing the dan- gers still involved in space travel. What made the disaster even more devastating was the fact that teacher Christa McAuliffe was aboard the doomed space shuttle. She was supposed to have been the first civilian in space.

National News (cont'd) Extra-Strength Death Johnson and Johnson Inc. tried their best to bring the public a safe capsule that could not be tampered with. But sure enough, nearly two years after the incident in Chicago with Extra-Strength Tylenol, a sec- ond incident involving capsules laced with cyanide resulted in death. Two tampered bottles were found in A P and Woolworth in New York City. Neither bottle appeared to be tampered with from the outside but when the capsules were opened traces of the poison were found. The two stores were one block away from each other which almost ruled out the possibility of an inside job. Investigators for Johnson and Johnson, the mak- ers of Tylenol, have not ruled out any possibilities however. The company made a bold decision when they announced that they were discontinuing the capsules and replacing them with the Tylenol “caplet form which is actually a tablet that is very dense and specially coated in order to be swallowed like a capsule. Other capsule companies did not follow Tyle- nol’s lead and instead closed their capsules with sound waves.

Gorbachev urged the United States to reduce the production of nuclear arms by half and the Soviet Union would do the same. But Reagan didn't agree with Gorbachev's request, stating that Russia has more missiles and cutting back would result in the U.S.S.R continuing to lead in the arms race. Gorbachev realized that Americans didn't strongly support Reagan's Star Wars plan. He didn't bring the subject up at the convention. In 1987 they plan to meet again as friends.

The order was given by baseball commissioner Peter Ueberroth. The seven, Keith Hernandez (Mcts), Dale Berra (Yankees), Joaquin Andujar (A's), Dave Park- er (Reds), Lonnie Smith (Royals), Jeff Leonard (Giants) and Enos Cabell (Dodgers), could be let free on three conditions. First, they would have to donate ten percent of their salaries to a drug prevention program. Second, they must con- tribute 100 hours in drug related services in each of the next two years. The players admitted to buying cocaine from Curtis Strong, a former Philadelphia Phillies club- house chef. Stong was sentenced to 12 years in prison in September. The seven distributed the drugs to others. Four other players, Al Holland (Yankees). Lee Lacy (Orioles). Lary Sorenson (Cubs) and Claudel I Washington (Braves), were suspended for only sixty days. Ueberroth said these ball players were involved with drugs but had no part in its distribution. They may continue if they donate five percent of their salaries to drug prevention pro- grams and spend 50 hours working in drug related services. Their punishments are half of what the other seven received. The Major League Players Asso- ciation has been opposed to random drug testing for years. They con- tend it is a violation of the players’ privacy and also question the ac- curacy of such tests. Each player will make his own decision as to whether to be sus- pended or agree to testing. But thanks to Ueberroth, they all have the chance the continue the na- tional game.

Glen Sathcr, Edmonton’s coach, commented, “I would have split that trophy and given it to all three guys.” The last game was marred with a brawl late in the third period and also included an exchange of insults from both coaches. The Flyer’s coach, Mike Kccnon. said, “We had a little discussion regarding the altercation that took place.” A frustrating way to end a good season for both teams, the Flyers on the short end of a hard fought series.
