It was a busy time for all, especially because the high point of the entire season, the entire year in fact, came on May ninth, the Junior Prom. The prom was a special time in ev- eryone's life; it was one night that was the culmination of months of planning. You don't know exactly what color or style your dress is go- ing to be until you go into the store and it kind of hits you, said Mina Bierman, junior. Probably the fore- most thing on every girl's mind, even as much as several months before the prom, was her dress. The color, the style, are all important in achiev- ing the right look. Boys surely didn't fall out of step in keeping up with fashion either. The most popular styles for tuxedos were the suave, fashionable Miami Vice tux and debonair Dynasty Col- lection selections. The hottest color combination was still the traditional black, with a pink cumberbund and tie. Sal Russo from Sal's Fashions said, Most guys got pink to match their date's gown. Then came the transportation; af- ter all, what's the use in being all dressed up with some place to go and no way to get there? The most popular limousines according to Maz Limos were black and white stretch limousines. Michael Maz, the manager, said, They ordered ev- erything including VCRs, stereos, TVs and a bar. They wanted liquor, too; but we couldn't give it to them because liquor is illegal in any vehi- cle. Even after all was said and done, what would the prom have been like if not for those who gave their time and effort to make it all a success. It was nerve racking. We called the same catering place as last year, Huntington Townhouse. They sup- plied the food for the sit-down din- ner, and near the end we had a Vien- nese Bar, said Eileen Ihm, senior class secretary. To set the mood nothing was more crucial than the music. We had to interview a lot of bands. We went to Varsity Studios, said Rich Owens, senior class vice-president, We looked at the videotapes and picked out Spectrum. They really got people into it. When the students were Finally outfitted and almost miraculously transformed, into the ballroom dream world they went. The prom magic had begun. Was it really the Junior Prom? Many juniors who went, and even some who didn't go, felt that there was a disproportionate number of non-juniors and students from other schools, (cont'd) SWINGING SINGLES Mew friendships are formed as the prom creates special memories.

Dinner I was just so... busyl I had to get my hair done, get into my dress, do my nails and put on my make-up, said Lisa Porpora, senior. Everyone I knew was all dressed up. Some people looked so good I didn't rec- ognize them, said senior Gerilyn Smith. The food, the dancing, the festiv- ity, the culmination of months and months of planning and, in some cases years of dreaming, was not all. After leaving the Huntington Town- house it was time to hit the ni- ghtclubs in Mew York City. Wednes- day's was overflowing on prom night, as were other hot spots such as Dangerfield's and the Adam's Ap- ple. After it was all over, it was time to cast aside the magic of it all, or was it? The dress is in a box. I might cut it down and use it for something, said junior Mina Bierman. The lim- ousine, the tuxedo or gown, the tick- ets, a club or two. Was it worth the three to five hundred dollars stu- dents spent for one evening of mem- ories? Of course, said Meil Riha, senior, It's a once-in-a-lifetime thing, a part of your high school ca- reer. There was another spring-time dance that had to take a back seat to the prom in spring activities, but definitely not in cause. The Hawaiian Dance was planned to raise money for the Wayne Staebler Memorial fund in honor of a student who had died of cancer in the spring of 1986. I went with friends and wore shorts and sunglasses, said sophomore Debbie Van Mostrand. But the pri- mary reason I went was because of the fund. Hands Across America, another charitable event, united farming- dale students with people all across the country to form a chain of hope. Michael Barlotta, junior, said, We did it for the fun. During it all we felt patriotic; even though it only lasted for about 10 minutes. We stood and sang America the Beautiful, The Star Spangled Banner, and the Hands Across America theme. It was great! Spring was over, and with its de- mise came the inevitable closing of school. The hallways became flood- ed with papers as students walked out the doors for the last time and headed for the beaches. I went to the beach and started working on a tan, said Stacy Blickley, sopho- more. Some students got jobs, but many just sat back to take a break from all that had been the past spring. ■ Karen Epper • Kim Kier- nan THE SQUEEZING EVERYTHING INTO SHORTEST SUMMER EVER What was the one time of the year that people most looked forward to? Besides their birthdays and other fa- vorite holidays it would have to be the summer. There were no worries of homework, tests, or overdue re- ports. Instead there were beach par- ties, get-togethers, and just plain hanging out. But didn't it seem that the summer passed by as if it was only one week long instead of being more than two months long? Dr. Steven Kussin said, It wasn't our imagination about the shortness of the summer because school closed late and opened earlier than usual. The rainy weather also made the days seem fewer.'' Even with all of the obstacles stu- dents faced, the summer was still the summer.'' The beaches were filled with students trying to create the perfect tan before going back to school. The night time favorite was Adventureland, the biggest amuse- ment park on all of Long Island. Since we were seniors we were able to travel to the beach more frequent- ly because we already had our licen- ses. Even at night we went to the beach and places such as O.B.I., Malibu, and Lito Beach where we partied all night long,'' said senior Kevin Daniels. For students that owned summer homes or beach houses, summer meant time away from friends. Ju- nior Karen Laky said, I really enjoy having a beach house in Bayville, but sometimes I wish I were with all of my friends back in farmingdale. To students who went away to camps, summer meant making new friends. The majority of students that went to camps went there to teach as counselors. Students also found jobs for the summer that were closer to home. Working at Adventu- reland, a fast food restaurant, the beach or a department store gave students the extra money they need- ed to make it through the summer. The lazier types wanted to use their summer for what it was meant to be used for-relaxing. I slept late and just watched my favorite soap op- eras all day, said junior, Suzanne Jung. When the days started getting numbered, students rushed out to the stores to buy the latest school fashions. This was the time when summer jobs really paid off. Before it had ended, school was already starting again. The weather on the first day back to school really characterized the way most students felt, it was cloudy and raining. But coming back had its advantages, as said by sophomore James Saitta, It was great to see my friends again af- ter the summer was over.

A variety of activities and opportuni- ties surround the island. Mountains, beaches, city life and country life are all just a hop, skip and a jump away from virtually anywhere in Hew York. And right in the middle of it all is Far- mingdale, a suburban town which had easy access to all of the state's resources. In Farmingdale and the surround- ing villages of Massapequa and Mas- sapequa Park, there are enough things to keep the average Daler busy. There is the Sunrise Mall and the Busy Bee Flea Market, both lo- cated in Massapequa, which kept the girls busy for hours. Endless numbers of movie theaters are in the surrounding towns and always kept up on the latest pictures. Debbie Pe- traitis, senior, said, I like to go to Loews because my friends hang out there, and the movie selection is re- ally good.'' Farmingdale also boasted its own college, the State of Hew York Agri- cultural College. It is a convenient college for those seniors who wanted to stay close to home. Long Island as a whole is the home of many fine colleges. C.W. Post, Hofs- tra University, St. John's University, and the State University of Hew York (SUHY) at Stonybrook were among the state's colleges that seemed at- tractive to students during their search. There were excellent educa- tional opportunities such as Cornell, Ithaca, the State University of Hew York at Buffalo, Albany and Bin- ghamton. Senior, Mark Abramson said, I would like to go to Buffalo because Hew York is such a great place to live.'' There were hot spots on Long Is- land itself that attracted the atten- tion of students in all grades. The most popular attraction was the beach. Jones Beach covered the en- tire soutiiem coast. The series of beaches along the shore was a con- stant source of fun. Long Island's beaches are ranked among the top five most beautiful in the world. We often took for granted the paltry 10 minute car ride to the beach. Senior Denise Ingrassia said, It is really great having the beaches so close. I can go there anytime I feel like it. If you needed to find a Daler during the summer, you knew to hit the beach. Along with the beaches, there were other paradises on the is- land. Montauk, at the eastern part of the island, was a favorite spot for va- cationing students. The Hamptons were also popular among students and their families, (cont d) Community DEEP THOUGHT Carol Devine researches the magazine sec- tion at South Farmingdale Library.

The Oak Beach Inn, W. W. Hash and Heartbeat were some of the favorite clubs found on the island. Adventu reland was probably the closest han- gout for students who wanted to be with their friends and have fun for the day. The town of Uniondale housed the Nassau Coliseum, the attraction site of Long Island. Shows, sporting events, circuses, fairs, and concerts took place there. The Coliseum also gave us the New York Islanders four- time Stanley Cup winners. Jamie Karp, senior, said, It's really easy tc get to Nassau Coliseum to see a hockey game or concert instead of traveling all the way out to New Jer- sey to get to the Meadowlands. About five minutes outside of Far- mingdale is Bethpage State Park, where international polo was played during the months of spring and summer. Students were able to go and watch the polo games at the park free of charge. Another popular sporting event that took place on the island was horseracing. Belmont and Aqueduct, both located in Queens County, are two of the most famous horseracing arenas. Other exciting activities were fly- ing and boating. Plying lessons were available at Republic Airport in Far- mingdale, a small airport used most- ly for private plants. The airport was best known as the home of the McDonald's blimp during the sum- mer months. Boating was also a popular leisure activity, and virtually every water sport had a place on Long Island. Did students hide inside when the weather turned bad? Not a chance— they got out their skis. Upstate New York was the best place to go when the snow started to fall. Ski resorts are set up all over the mountains of New York. Qore Mountain and Hunt- er Mountain were two of the fav- orites.

Rick Gerhard and Donald Sunde Pninmnnlty (tHHll'ri) to the ore . HONT’D) Junior Mark Peserillo said, Skiing in new York is good because places like Hunter Mountain are close. Here are big hills and the snow is really good for skiing. Students could also be found sledding and snowmo- biling in Bethpage Park. Of course ice skating was popular during the winter; there were many ice rinks to choose from, Rockerfel- ler Center being the most famous. A little closer to home one could visit the Margorie Post Park ice rink. The EAB Plaza in Uniondale offered a large rink with a constant source of music for only $5 per day. Any time of the year was the right time to hit Hew York City. Students chose to take the train into Penn Sta- tion when visiting their favorite city spots. The most popular attrac- tions included Herald Center, Macy's, F.A.O. Schwartz, Times Square, and the famous Greenwich Village. The city also offered more night clubs which were popular for after-prom activities. These clubs in- cluded Wednesday's, Adam's Apple, and Dangerfield's. Concert halls could be found within 15 minutes of each other, the most frequently visit- ed by students being Madison Square Garden, Radio City Music Hall, and the Ritz. The trip into the wide world of the Big Apple was only an hour away; it was very easy to get there, and as a result, it became one of the more popular weekend choices. With all of the various places to visit on Long Island and all of Hew York, students were kept busy 24 hours a day. They had a choice of where they wanted to go, what they wanted to see and when they felt like going. A student could head out in any of the four directions, and he was bound to wind up in an exciting atmosphere. While Farmingdale it- self may not have had its share of teenage hot spots, it gave students a chance to experience Hew York and all it had to offer. ■ Eve Eskin CALLIHG OH YOU Students In Mrs. Hoffert's government class helped out radio station WLIW.

Thank Qod It's Friday! On Friday afternoons all I think of are Friday nights,'' said junior Jared D'Argenio. You bolted out the door, no mat- ter that your quiz barely made it into the teacher's hand, and you ran to your locker. Ripping it open, you stood there forever, Do we have any math homework?'' Did it matter that you had homework? The week- end was ahead of you, and there were more important things to do, so something as inconsequential as homework probably wasn't going to be done anyway. I put off my home- work until Monday, and then I end up doing it during my classes,'' said ju- nior Brian Niederburger. On the way home the bus driver seemed to drive as slowly as your grandmother. Through the grape- vine you heard that there was going to be a party that night. What else was new? Another night, another blast, right? After getting into the house and scattering your books all over the kitchen table, you sat down to eat something. Shuffling through the mail you saw that Macy's was having a sale, but what about your math? Skip it. Going from A to Z in your phone- book, you finally found a ride to the party. I party almost every weekend - whenever I'm not shopping ' said Lisa Barone, sophomore. Just then you remembered you were sup- posed to go to the club with some other friends. I go to Speaks in Long Beach. It's great because I meet people, dance, and have a good time. Other times I go to keg parties at Bethpage State Park,'' said junior Pat DiMartino. It was 2.00 again, but in the wee hours of the morning! How were you going to get through work tomorrow - or should you say, today? A little extra sleep on Saturday morning was heaven, and it did a lot of good; but your hangover wasn't too pleas- ant. Groggy and grumpy, you got dressed in comfortable clothes and just relaxed. I wake up as late as possible on Saturday, and then I clean my room,'' said Jodi Schnall, junior. Saturday itself slipped away, and maybe you slipped in a couple of more parties that night leaving you with little time even to think of sleep. Having to wake up early for school doesn't get you a lot of sleep, but when you go out on the weekends you wind up getting even less,'' said Jared D'Argenio.

I go to the mall. When we go out, we go to the movies, ice skating, or even bowling, said freshman Kelly Rog- ers. All of the money you had worked so hard for was gone; you spent it faster than the Pentagon. But in- stead of spending it on MX missiles, you blew it on records, dance clubs, and Big Macs (don't forget the fries). I don't spend money on food; my boyfriend spends it for me, said Kelly. It got expensive to feed your friends. They were always hungry, weren't they? Sunday - the final frontier. It was your last day to get things done; but you were so burned out from the weekend's activities, all that you wanted to do was relax.

Monday morning blues were char- acteristic of you and your comrades who were dragging their feet as they walked to the bus stop. You climbed reluctantly into that big yellow thing that would take you in and spit you back into the school routine. Kevin Daniels said, That walk to school on Monday morning is the longest walk of my life. Just as you walked to the door of your first period class, you remembered ... your math homework. ■ Assunta Gaglione Weekends fcont’d) TRY TICKETRON Students were eager to see their peers perform in Meil Simon's play Barefoot in the Fark.

The event that consumed Mr. Ken Ulric's specially selected cast's time, was the popular play ‘Barefoot in the Park'' written by Paul Simon. Mr. Ulric directed the small cast, and to- gether they put in hours of hard work; late nights to midnight were not uncommon. Even though it was a small cast, in the end everyone came together to make the produc- tion good. Any conflicts were put aside and it came out as hoped,'' said senior Maria Nardello. The fashion show was more than just a modeling of the latest styles. It had underlying goals; a student had to be a member of the Intercultural Club. The fashion show committee tried to develop an Intercultural Schol- arship Fund by asking teachers, local stores, and parents to donate money to help promote racial harmony. I got a high feeling on the stage during the night of the show. Friends came together and overcame any grudges to make the show a suc- cess, said President, Lisa Young, se- nior.

Works such as char- coal drawings, scratch boards, and oil paintings were popular tech- niques used by art students. Senior Noah Rosenberg said, Mr. Corby recognizes good artwork and lets us put in anything we want to. One technique that was used by A.P. art student, Maria Nardello, se- nior, was contour drawing. Maria said, “When the Art Gallery started, I didn't even know about it. It is a good aspect of the high school, be- cause it gives the art students moti- vation to achieve.

The students in- volved with these groups got two chances to perform during the year, during the winter and spring con- certs. The select groups performed for other school functions or ar- ranged their own concerts. The winter concert put the audi- ence into the Christmas and Ha- nukkah spirit, while the spring con- cert gave students a chance to show the audience their improvements. Rehearsals for the concerts were held after school or during the band, chorus, or orchestra periods. Stu- dents were required to attend les- sons during class time. These les- sons were rotated each week and gave teachers a chance to deal with students on a personal basis. Junior Kim Kiernan said, I practice when- ever I get a spare minute.'' There were advantages to per- forming in these concerts. Senior Lauren Becker said, I'm involved with chorus and madrigals. I do it be- cause it's a good learning experi- ence to perform before a live audi- ence. It also helps with college audi- tions. Students found themselves look- ing outside of school to pursue their talents. Music or acting lessons took up time after school for students who wished to perfect their skills. Music lessons were given on an indi- vidual basis while acting lessons were given in groups. Arena Players and the Broadhollow Theatre were two of the more popular places stu- dents worked. Susan Dorsey, fresh- man, said, I've made a lot of good friends. My best show was probably A Christmas Carol' because it was the hardest to do. It took a lot of time; when you're rehearsing for a show, you just have to pray you don't get a lot of homework, and get used to the taste of coffee when you do. ■ Eve Eskin • Mariko Jamiol- kowski GO HAWAIIAN Tropical prints reappeared in the lineup for new summer fashions.

Scene seven. The show was running relatively smoothly un- til the cheers of the crowd were re- placed with total silence, a chilling silence that swept through the audi- torium in seconds. A lone performer stood on stage, waiting and wait- ing—waiting for a break in the si- lence, waiting for the sound system to allow the show to go on. Curtis Smith waited for nearly five minutes before his James Brown tape was broadcast. His impatient feet were finally able to perform their magic after the faulty system was re- paired. This problem has plagued the Umpa-Lumpas and other talent show acts for past years. Junior Pete Schmitt said 'The poor sound equipment takes away from the show. When you are sitting in the back and can t hear what is going on up on stage, you lose interest. It's not the students' fault, yet they are the ones that suffer.'' Other than the recurring problem with the sound, the performances went off without any major prob- lems. The biggest problem occurred before rehearsals even began. The resignation of Mr. Robert Rose, who had directed the show for several years, led Mr. Paul Murphy, 12th grade dean, on a search for a new di- rector. After searching through the faculty with no luck, Mr. Murphy hired a professional director, Mr. Dave Schaap. The show was scheduled almost three months earlier than any other year. This fact, along with very strict rehearsal schedules, prevented some students from participating. My friends and I didn't have any time to prepare an act; the show was too early in the year ' said senior Bruce DiPietro. Those who were able to stick it out and adhere to the rigorous schedule managed to create a memorable event in just a few short weeks. Acts ranged from creative to unusual, from the Raisin Commercial to the Sock Hop, but not all of the students could be satisfied. Junior Audrey Rent said, I thought that last year's talent show had a lot more partici- pants and variety. There were more bands and a lot more togetherness last year. Everyone got into it. The one this year was hard to hear, and the excitement just wasn't there. Maybe the excitement couldn't be found in the audience, but it was all made up for by the seniors on stage. It was a night that was looked for- ward to from the day all attended their first talent show as a freshman. The slide show presented by Phil Meckelberg, Janine Compitello, and Lisa Lehman brought back Dress Down Day, the prom, and the spirit. It was a time for fun and friends. In the words of Mr. Murphy, I just call it the Senior Show. You have to re- member that you are only as good as what you have. ■ Danielle Me Carthy BURNING UP The Talent Show always has acts which bring back memories of favorite childhood Talent Show MOW HEAR THIS tate their moves.

The math midterm was to- morrow; and after two hours of studying, all of the numbers looked the same. You went to bed rational- izing that if you didn't know it, then you never would. The alarm went off at six as sched- uled, but Mom was there to tell you to go back to sleep; school was can- celled. It was great; snow, no math, and sleep. The extra four hours did you good; but when you awoke, you realized that you would have to make up your tests another day, a day when you thought you would be free, a day you had already made plans for. Well, it really wasn't all that bad; Friday's tests would just be squeezed in with Wednesday's tests, and you still had a free weekend-with snow. Sledding at Bethpage Park, skating at Margorie Post, or just hav- ing a snowball fight on your block, it didn't matter; it finally felt like win- ter. Most of the weekend was spent bumming around the house wishing your math midterm was over. Sun- day night came and you found your- self studying again, but this time for biology, forecasts predicted snow, but the chances of cancelling school The alarm rang and once again Mom was there to deliver the good news. This time you had to hear it for yourself. When those three words Farmingdale Public Schools were added to the growing list of school closings, you were in a state of eu- phoria. An unexpected four day weekend-great, right? Wrong, especially if you were ex- pecting to take a regents exam. '1 thought it was really rotten. I didn't get to take my math regents, and now I have to wait until the sum- mer, said sophomore Jennifer Teets. These exams were termed in- valid for all schools that had to close on Monday, January 26. Mr. Morra, English Department Chairman, said, Why doesn't the state have an emergency backup test? This prob- lem not only affected farmingdale but schools all over Long Island. Wednesday, January 28 was Janu- ary 28 as well as Friday, January 23. Thursday, January 29, became Mon- day, January 26; while Friday, Janu- ary 30 became Wednesday, January 21, the new (old?) last day of first se- mester. Monday, February 2, be- came Thursday, January 29, the old (new?) first day of second semester. Where would it end? Only Mother na- ture would know for sure. ■ Dan- ielle McCarthy HOT TO TROT Many singers that were popular in the 60s and 70s came back to make their mark in the 80s.

Students who had packed away their costumes took them out again to participate in the Dress Down Day Parade. The festivities included the march down Woodward Parkway and through the Woodward Parkway Ele- mentary School bus circle. I remem- bered what it felt like when I was watching the parade and thinking how I would feel six years from then,'' said senior Neil Riha. On Dress Down Day the senior class presented itself with finesse, but the night before, the scene was chaotic. Students didn't even think of their costumes until then. Senior, Maria Nardello said, 1 got my costume at the last moment. It wasn't difficult because you never realize the things you have to wear at home until you look.'' Once again the seniors gave a fine performance, while entertain- ing children and of course, having a good time. ■ Debbie Gecewicz mMgamz---------—m .---------------------------------------- | CLOWNIN' AROUND Sometimes students forgot who the elementary school children were because of all of the fun they had being able to dress up in Halloween costumes again.

FOR BIG FAMILY GATHERINGS There was a really cool party at your friend's house. His parents were out of town for the holidays, but instead of going to the party you went to Grandma's house for a big family dinner. Even the annoying Un- cle Sol from Yonkers was there. He pinched your cheeks and kissed your nose three times. It was un- bearable. Whether it was Christmas, Chanu- kah, Thanksgiving, Easter, Passov- er, or Hew Year's Eve, there was al- ways some kind of gathering. Stu- dents enjoyed seeing relatives and celebrating the holidays. Sopho- more Julie Hausseman said, Weal- ways have a special dinner with the family. Holidays were sometimes a time of depression, so getting to- gether with family members relieved the anxiety. The holidays also provided for some free time for shopping. The Sunrise Mall was open late hours for last minute gift shopping and the Busy Bee Flea Market ran its usual extended December-January sched- ule. Hicole Green, sophomore, said, Basically, I shop during the holi- days. There is usually a sale going on somewhere. Senior Joe Gannon said, ‘ I go shopping with my brother during Christmas for clothes. Because teachers often gave as- signments, the holidays were also a time to catch up on schoolwork. Pro- jects such as essays or plays forced students to stick to their work. Stu- dents usually waited until the last day before doing the assignment, so it didn't ruin the entire vacation. Freshman Cheryl Goldman said, I say I'm going to do it, but I always wait until the night before. Holidays such as Martin Luther King Day, Veterans Day, Columbus Day, and Memorial Day were moved to Monday in order to have the cher- ished three day weekend. These hol- idays provided a break from the usu- al daily routines. So whether they were everything we expected them to be or not, the holidays were welcome everytime they came along. For after all, they gave us a perfectly legal reason to be someplace other than school. ■ Adam Berkowitz FEAST YOUR EYES ON THIS The humanities 11 classes held their Thanksgiving dinner on Movember 26.

You were always with them in the hallways and in the classrooms. Your friends were al- ways there for you. But what did friends really mean to you? Donna Flaumebaum, freshman, said, “A friend is someone who you can trust, and someone you can con- fide in.” It was great to be able to talk to someone about your problems.

There were times when boy girl friendships grew into more serious re- lationships. They often got in the way of romance. Senior Will Merrins said, If you get into a fight, not only do you lose your girlfriend, but your best friend, too.” There was also the unresolvable problem of boyfriends or girlfriends in- terfering with friendships. Denise Prisco, senior, said, “If you have a best friend that you are close to, and you get a boyfriend or girlfriend, in some way your best friend feels like they were replaced.” Wherever we went or whatever we did, our friends were always there. We would have never made it with- out them. ■ Jackie Cutugno • Christine Wellhoefer OMC, TWO, THREE KICK School dances gave students an excuse to have a great time. At the Hawaiian Dance.

But, students would rather have had a day off than come in with suspenders and ties. Hat day'' was also cancelled because of the lack of student involvement. Spirit Week should have been a pot- pourri of color as Hawaiian Day,” Hat Day,” Class Color Day,” and Green and White Day,” would have helped build school spirit for the Homecoming Game on Saturday, November 15. Although there was some student response. Spirit Week didn't live up to its planned poten- tial. Homecoming was later than usu- al, and that meant it would be colder than usual. ”1 went to the pep rally, and I nearly froze my pittooties off,” said Krista Danielson, freshman. At the pep rally, eggs and water bal- loons were carried, thrown and un- fortunately for the possessors, bro- ken. Green jello and cold pizza were stuck to faces, as the seniors came out on top in the pep rally's competi- tions. After the pep rally students rushed home to get ready for the Homecom- ing Dance. Jeff Gorddard, senior, said, I had a really good time be- ITS PARTICIPANTS cause at the pep rally the seniors dominated the contests. When we got to the dance, everyone was real- ly into it.” Unlike the pep rally, the turnout for the dance was a sell-out crowd of 500. The Commons became a crowded dance floor full of dancers trying their best. Because the music was basically disco and pop, there were com- plaints about the DJ's selection of dance tunes. Even so, there were those who did like the music. It was slow at the beginning, but towards the end the music got better,” said Laurie Keenan, sophomore. The people on the dance floor nev- er let up. By the middle of the night, the girls had managed to get all of the non-dancing guys onto the dance floor. Maureen Bloodnick and I started a train around the com- mons. We got a lot of the people who were sitting down to join the train,” said Laurie Keenan. While not all of the activities were successful, there were die-hard Dal- er fans who refused to let the spirit fizzle. But with hundreds on the dance floor and a 20-16 victory over Hicksville, Spirit Week was still alive and kicking. ■ Assunta Gaglione DOWN THE AISLE The Daler cheerleaders added to the an- nouncement of the football team by help- ing to cheer for each player.

Students felt that being in style was very im- portant. If someone wasn't in style, he might not have been considered part of the popular crowd. Senior Ron Willis said, You have to be in fashion, or you're not with the in crowd. Students also felt that fashion didn't make a big difference. I wear what I feel is comfortable. I couldn't care less about fashion ' said senior Jenny holzapfel. Students thought that fashion had very little or no af- fect at all. Sophomore Leah Brady said, There is no influence on me or my friends when it comes to fash- ion. We wear what we want to wear, not what others would like us to wear. There were those who thought clothes were of no importance. Ju- nior Jill Conrad said, I don't care what I wear. I just throw on what I feel like in the morning. When it came to dressing in style, it could become a necessary thing. Sophomore Andrea Badlamenti said, I think fashion is really impor- tant. I see what's in and then I dress accordingly. Fashion was an outlet for the dif- ferent ideas, feelings, and emotions of students. Junior Ondine Galvez said, Clothes are a person's form of expression. They reflect how you feel at certain times. Chris Bottjer, junior, said, People wear clothes to school to reflect what day it is. On Monday, you're awake; on Friday you're tired. On Monday you would wear a pair ofjeans and a dress shirt. On Friday you would wear a pair of sweats and a T-shirt. Students got upset when they saw people wearing clothes that weren't in style. They thought that students out of style just didn't care about themselves. Senior Kurt Sexauer said, People dress according to their lifestyles; if you live like dirt, you dress like dirt. Places where students bought clothes were as varied as the styles they wore. Junior Jean Henry said, Macy's is the best place to go shop- ping. Most of the kids' in-school clothes look like they were bought in Macy's. Students searched far and wide to get the styles they wanted. Freshman Jessica Wems- dorfer said, I usually like to go shopping at the boutiques in the vil- lage. The flea market was a popular spot for buying clothes at good prices. According to students, their quality wasn't too good. Junior Joan Taglienti said, I hate when people shop at flea markets, their clothes always fall apart after one day.

Mary Ellen Curcio, junior, said, I think that Heartbeat is a great place to see different fashions; all of the new styles can always be found there.'' The biggest fashions were faded jeans, leggings, and oversized sweaters. Freshman Jennifer Ken- nedy said, Comice stretch pants are in this year. I think that they real- ly look good. Tie dye and bleached pants are something new and cool. They are not like the same old jeans.'' Popular styles from years past reappeared to combine with the fashions of today in order to com- plete the newest looks. Sophomore Donna Celentano said, Faded den- ims are back. They are different and more expensive, but they're great because the blue dye doesn't come off!'' Each and every student had his or her own individual style. It didn't re- ally matter whether it was up-to-date or whether it was old-fashioned. As styles varied, students had to accept more diverse and wilder wardrobes. Senior Michelle Meritt said, There were no real' styles; students were wearing tie dye outfits one day and penny loafers with button down shirts the next. I think the fashion of this school gets more diverse every year. When I was a freshman, people would stare and comment if your hair or clothes were even slightly out of the ordinary. How it is much more acceptable to wear whatever you want to wear. ■ Eve Eskin DRESSED TO KILL Layers and accessories were the way to Keep up with the latest styles.

Late to work again ' she muttered. She walked into the store, entered the of- fice and reported to her boss. As usual he noticed the time on the clock and said, If you're late again. I'll be forced to fire you.'' Faced with this problem, students were forced to decide between school and their jobs. Rosanne O'Brien, senior, said, Sometimes it's a problem getting to work be- cause I have to be at work at 4:30, and I'm usually in school until 4:00. Students worked hard for their money. It's nice to have the extra money to spend,'' said junior Chris- tine nelson. Alicia Martin, sopho- more, said, Because I'm working, I get more freedom to choose and buy my own clothes. Having a job caused students to sacrifice their free time. This was tough because it also limited the amount of time for homework. In ad- dition, a Job cut into the time spent with friends. Aside from the student's motiva- tion to get a job, there was also the student's parents who pushed for it. Parents thought that having a job gave their child a sense of responsi- bility and achievement. But, on the other hand, if the job interfered with schoolwork, those same par- ents would complain about poor grades. Schoolwork was definitely affect- ed by after-school jobs. Working ev- eryday after school and on week- ends had an effect on students' grades. They had to budget their time between work and school, leav- ing little time for extracurricular ac- tivities and free time. Transportation to work was also a problem. Public buses as well as school buses would not deliver the working student on time. Walking was a way that students had to fall back on. Otherwise, a student relied upon bicycles or parents to take them. Senior Michelle Merritt said, I usually get a ride to work from some- one in my family, but sometimes it's inconvenient. If my parents aren't home, I have to take a cab.'' If the student had a car, he was among the more fortunate and had less hassles to deal with. Holding down a job caused stu- dents to choose between it and their schoolwork. But when pay day came, and with it a fat paycheck, all of the problems the long hours caused seemed to disappear as fast as the money. ■ Swati Deshpande 3sEE ICING ON THE CAKE Stocking shelves Is a tricky Job, especially while standing on a ladder.

This was a major point brought across by Father Dan Egan, the famed “Junkie Priest” when he appeared at the high school on February 10. Father Egan spent much of his life helping runaways and kids who have had trouble with drugs or alcohol. “I asked one boy who lived in Los Angeles how he got to Chi- cago,” said the priest. “He told me he just got into a car to go for a ride and here he was in Chica- His hour-long lecture to the students dealt with making the right choices in life. “What you need is more important than what you want. Making the right choices isn’t always easy,” admitted Egan, “but a person knows when he or she is right.” The Father presented many interesting facts during his speech. The al- cohol content in a can of beer, for example, is enough to destroy 500 brain cells. Facts about smoking were equally as startling. “Two out of ev- ery five smokers will not reach the age of retire- ment,” the Father ex- plained. Father Egan has dedi- cated his life to helping those who are in trouble and preventing further trouble through his lec- tures. ■ Steven Slo- movicz — RtnCTION— “It makes you think,” said Jason Hunter, senior, “that you should look out for yourself and not do something you’ll regret.” The speech by Father Egan made students think about themselves. “Some of the things he said were pretty obvious,” said Carol De- vine, senior. “I don’t need anyone to tell me that getting pregnant is the wrong thing to do.” “I don’t know what I’d do if I became burnt out on drugs,” said Christine Guilfoyle, senior. “It would be hard to find someone like the Junkie Priest to help me when I’m on my own.” WORDS OF WISDOM Father Egan spreads his word about trying to make the right choices.

The Long Island Railroad workers had gone on strike and trans- portation into New York City was virtually halted. The railroad workers’ union officials reported that these people were working without contracts which would ensure their rights. The five major unions were Signalmen, Sheet Metal Workers, the Boilermakers and Black- smiths, Machinists, and Electrical Workers. These groups were striving for a skill differential. This means that the more tal- ented the worker the more money he will earn. President Reagan pro- posed a bill in order to make a compromise be- tween the unions and the president of the LIRR, Bruce Mclver. “I’m terrib- ly disappointed by the de- cision of the coalition. There is not a lot I can do about it. I pleaded with them to return to work,” said Mclver. The other side was just as disappointed. “Some- body is trying to force this into a longer period of ne- gotiations and that upsets us,” explained John Han- sen of the Signalmen’s union. The strike lasted until the first week in Feb- ruary when the trains were restored and life for commuters returned to normal. ■ Steve S o- movicz __ REACTION How did Long Islanders surive nearly three weeks without the trains running?

The cutback that had the greatest impact on college bound seniors was the reduction of finan- cial aid given to students by the federal govern- ment. The new financial aid form itself was not very different. “Questions are geared toward the excep- tionally needy so that we know who is best qualified to receive the financial aid,” said Governor Mario Cuomo. The National Direct Student Loans and Guaran- teed Student Loans issued by the federal and state gov- ernment became even more difficult for students to get. The state will make it even more difficult to get a Re- gents Scholarship. A new test will measure achieve- ment rather than aptitude. President Reagan com- mented in his State of the Union speech, “The cut- back is only ten percent. The majority of students who are truly in need of fi- nancial aid, mainly those who are considered self- supporting students, will still be able to receive the full benefits of our fi- nancial programs.” ■ Keith Bowles REACTION .

Kris Kristofferson and Cindy Pickett starred as rebels of the Soviet-Amerika who tried to change the citizens’ minds as to the running of the country. Complaints have been made against the subject matter of the miniseries. Factors include the credibility of such an actual takeover and at the same time the portrayal of the Russians as more hostile to the American public than they actually are. Despite the advance publicity, the ratings of Amerika were lower than the network had predicted.

These findings included poor engi- neering of the insulation sys- tem and errors in the con- struction of control rods. All devices which shut off the reactor if steam pressure built up were inoperative. At first Gorbachev did not reveal any information to his country or the U.S. Later he called for the help of Ameri- can doctors and scientists, as well as the Swiss, the only people with a treatment center for radiation burns. In exchange, President Reagan invited Russian engineers and scientists to visit active power plants in the United States. ■ Eu- gene Swift r— ACTION COULD IT HAPPEN?

Well, for over 100 students a voca- tional education became a reality. They had a chance to get a head-start on hands-on training. A typical school day was broken into two parts. In the morning or after- noon students would take the courses they needed to graduate; during the other half of the day they would par- ticipate in a program at one of three locations: Westbury, Bethpage, or Levittown. Reading through the course offer- ings guide was an education in itself. At the Westbury facility one could choose from 63 fields of expertise, in- cluding mechanics or medical related fields. Cosmetology was a popular se- lection for those attending the Levit- town center. In Bethpage, at the Nas- sau Tech. Center, students learned air- frame maintenance and power me- chanics.

Teachers' policies toward attendance dif- fered, but quite a number had the same idea, if you weren't in your assigned seat at the bell, you were late. I was two desks away from mine, and the bell rang. He de- cided to mark me late anyway - it's unfair, said Laura Markovina, freshman. Sometimes I would leave my books on my desk and go for a drink of water. He knows I'm there, yet he marks me late anyway, said Mat- thew Cohen, fresh- man.

When we left, I was hold- ing over a dozen books in my hands.” Books read ranged from the plays of ancient Greece to the collected short stories of Kurt Vonnegut; and no matter what their grade, English stu- dents acted out plays. Nonetheless, students still had to do vocabulary, grammar, and spelling be- cause these were essential to learning how to write. Occasionally,” said Larry Lembo, senior, we might see a film.

English Before 1st period class people Waited Out the Minutes As we saw the clock tick to the 7:55 am position, loud voices filled the hallways- some plead- ing cries; others joyful speeches. Yes, again we encountered those five minutes before class. Rustling papers were heard within the classrooms as those who didn't do last night's homework scurried to do so. Students also spent this time before school to talk with friends. What did you do last night? or Do you know what she told me? were just a couple of the things one might have heard. Those five minutes were fill- ed with last minute chatter and diversion before the reality of school hit. Medina Taylor, junior, said, I spend every possible second talking with my friends. A quick look into a classroom would have revealed friends chatting while sitting on a heating unit amidst blowing hot, or cold air. Procrastinators scribbled until the last minutes in order to do the previous night's homework. Al- though it was a famil- iar sight to see such things going on, even a die-hard l-always- do-my-homework'' student might have seen himself in this situation. Similarly, if one looked around, and not too far, one would have heard students memorizing last min- ute facts for a test. Jennifer Teets, sopho- more, said, A last minute review always jogs my memory. Said sophomore Jean Marie DiPietro, 1 look over things 1 didn't get to study thoroughly the night before. Another group of students might have spent this time with a teacher or another student getting some help. Ms. Selitte, how do you do this? was a familiar ques- tion in math at 7:56 in the morning. Jenni- fer Engleson, sopho- more, said, I'm glad I can get the answers to my questions be- fore class; otherwise. I'd be really con- fused. Each morning those valuable five minutes were taken into ac- count, for at 8:00 am students knew they would have to show in their classes what they had learned. For all those procrastina- tors out there, do that homeworkl ■ Lisa Bahamonde Those five minutes were filled with last minute chatter and diversion before the reality of school hit STUCK UP A group of biology stu- dents combined their efforts to produce the wall.

Each stu- dent took his seat and quickly began his work. Forty minutes wasn't nearly enough time to create a masterpiece. Time wasn't a problem, however, to a student who planned to major in art. The art department offered a series of courses including Studio in Art, Ad- vertising in Design 1,11,111,1V, Drawing and Painting, Photography, and Craft. Although no specific program of courses was required, anyone plan- ning to take art classes first had to take Studio in Art, an introductory course. Photography, a one semester course, gave students the opportunity to learn how to develop photos as well as take better pictures. Advertising in Design classes distin- guished the advanced students from the novice. Printings, silk screens, and linoleums were proudly displayed throughout the art rooms. Cynthia Jac- quette, a junior enrolled in Advertising II, planned to take Advertising III, Pho- tography and AP Art in her senior year. This dedication wasn't unusual for someone who planned to major in Art. Cynthia said, Taking art courses has broadened my interests and defi- nitely my artistic abilities. Even though it was time consuming and sometimes frustrating, students agreed - taking art was truly the cre- ative experience. ■ Mahnaz Karim CRAYOLA COLORS Colorwheels arc made by Creighton Watson, Anthony Gomez and Tom Epps.

Here were typ- ing, data processing, fashion merchan- dising, bookkeeping, accounting, re- cord keeping, and law-related courses. - whatever was needed to get the aspiring professional into the business world. One of the most popular areas was legal classes. Sophomore Alicia Martin said, “These courses will prepare me to become a legal secretary.'' Business law basically dealt with contracts, specifications, and business dealings. In contemporary legal issues classes all aspects of the law were discussed. Carol Devine, senior, said, “We talked about family, business, and corporate law. The class was unstructured. We went on trips, and wrote reaction pa- pers. I liked it. This year a lot more kids are taking it. In addition, Mr. Louis Ruggiero, busi- ness teacher, supervised the Green White Shop. Students went behind the counter to sell to their friends and also got practical experience. ■ EricPiasta SALE OF THE CENTURY Accepting some change, Brad Perratto makes a candy sale to two hungry girls.

Working with class- mates was better than ’roughing it alone. Extra hands, added talk, and in desperation, extra brainpower made the winning game, the better proj- ect, and the livelier party. Marc Broder, se- nior, agreed. Working with more than one person can bail you out when you're in a jam. Suppose you can't solve a problem. Someone in the group is bound to know how to do it. When one thought of a group effort, per- haps the most imme- diate reaction would be to remember gym. Volleyball, speedball, hockey, and football demanded a group ef- fort; otherwise the mony of dozens of voices. In home eco- nomics an extra pair of hands was wel- come when it came time to take the cake When one thought of a group effort per- haps the most immediate reaction would be to remember gym ball wouldn't go any- where, except in the wrong direction. Glenn Allouche, se- nior, said, In hockey there's plenty of pass- ing back and forth. You have to work to- gether to get the puck into the net. Academically the team effort made things happen too. The chorus couldn't exist without the har- out of the oven or to create a complex deli- cacy. Sweet aromas from the home economics rooms would find their ways into sci- ence labs, since sci- ence classes were lo- cated nearby. Labs were mostly orga- nized to facilitate group efforts. One was assigned a lab partner, or else one was free to choose a friend or the class brain. Kristine Wim- merstedt. Junior, added, Your data has to be so exact to get the right answer, but it's a break from the regular chem- istry work. I talk with friends and joke around. Usually, we get the work done pretty quickly. Before Christmas va- cation began, the PAGE students decided to throw a party in the teacher's cafeteria. Jen Grimm, junior, said, I liked it.

The music department worked to expand the abilities of its musicians and singers. Music theory classes opened up a world of creativity. Students learned the ins and outs of musical notation, in music theory class, second level, they produced their own musical compositions. For violin, cello, viola and bass players, the orchestra room became the place to release the hushed and then suddenly harsh sounds of their instruments. Senior Troy Fabregas, vi- olinist, said, “If the music you're playing is dull, you can get bored. But if it's lively, you can get into a fantastic mood. This euphoric mood was felt in wind-ensemble, symphonic band, and chorus. Even if one wasn't a strings-man, weekly rotations were common to everyone. The challenge to be inspired, creative, and dedicat- ed was answered as students used ro- tations to prepare for the NYSSMA competition. The practice for perfec- tion would never end.

What? Do you need extra help in science again? I'm having a chem- istry test today. All right. I'll get ready to go. Students found that going to school early for extra help in their weak subjects en- abled them to raise their grades. Even though it was a pain to get up early in the morning just to go to school, it was worth the trouble. Sopho- more Linda Clark said, I go to extra help in the morning or during lunch to help me understand the previous day's lesson, so that I can pass the test when it's given.'' If one wasn't a morning person, one had the chance to get some extra help after school. Teachers met with students in the li- brary immediately af- ter school to give them the help they needed. Almost all subjects were cov- ered. The new idea proved to be quite a success. When there is a teacher-student ratio of one to one, it's much easier to leam than in a one to 30 ratio,'' said An- drew Arcuri, senior. Teachers weren't the only ones ready to lend a helping hand. Besides school work, students had many problems with their schedules and classes. A guidance counselor or dean al- ways came to the res- cue. Jeff Roth, sopho- more, said, I was switched from Mr. rianshumaker's math class to Mr. Husted's by Mr. Leahman. Another important person who helped out was Mr. Leonard Marino, the guidance department chairper- son. He helped jun- iors and seniors de- cide about their fu- tures in college and When students needed an escape or a way out they usually turned to the many people in the administration the workplace. When students needed an escape or a way out, they usual- ly turned to their deans. Junior Laura Ponce said, “A few friends and I were caught in the school at night and were ac- cused of trespassing. In order to appear in court, Mr. Healy ex- cused me from school and didn't tell my parents. He kept me out of trouble.'' Colin Chapman, se- nior, said, ‘The deans help me out when they can.

Karen Dal zell, freshman, said, Since my social studies teacher talks so fast, I end up scribbling my notes. I have to rewrite them to understand the les son totally. All students had di! ferent methods of studying. Some liked it calm and quiet while others enjoyed a loud, uncomfortabl atmosphere.

Lisa Lehman works do it write! two English classes? Well, for a stu- dent enrolled in General English, there wasn't much of a choice. One had to take a semester of PSEN in writing, in addition to a full year course in En- glish. This class was established for the improvement of writing skills and was a main purpose of the Writing Center. PSEN was, however, very different from regular English classes. We mainly prepare students for the Writ- ing Competency Test, which the stu- dents can take in place of the Regents exam. With the help of computers and individualized assistance, the student feels very at home here, said Mrs. Victoria Nofi, PSEN teacher. This course really helps me prepare for the RCT,” said Eric Kelske, junior, We do business letters, persuasive composi- tions and reports. When I take the exam in June, I know I'll be prepared. Due to staffing problems, the Writ- ing Center was not officially available to all students during the first semes- ter of the school year although it had been in the past. When it was open, the center offered assistance on col- lege essays, compositions and term papers. Dave Lamdan, senior, said, Dr. Friedman gave me some good ad- vice on my college essays. Now they- 're much better, and they will make the difference in my getting accepted. ■ Mahnaz Karim RED INK RULES Examining Mr. Mike LoMonico's correc- tions to his essay, Kevin McCarthy is satisfied.

The New york State Regents Board mandated that the social studies cur- riculum for 1987-1988 be updated to educate students in the areas of the Soviet Union and Latin America. The 9th and 10th grades would study these areas and the current 9th grade curriculum would culminate in a re- gents exam in 10th grade. The state also declared that Economics and Par- ticipation in Government would be- come mandatory courses for all grad- uating seniors, something which had already been accomplished in the school. Mr. Spiro said, “With this new re- gional emphasis, Humanities 10 and 12 will have to be totally restructured. Overall, however, these changes by the state will raise expectations and standards.” B Eric Piasta WORK IN PROGRESS The auditorium showcase is set up by Ellen Grosnass and Chris Gosline for a social studies display.

Certainly- but there was more to it than that. You needed those sup- plies which not hav- ing would have made class life unbearable. Try to imagine your- self having to do bookkeeping without a calculator. That meant totalling doz- ens of columns flaw- lessly. It wasn't al- ways possible to keep those column totals in your head. That was why calculators had memory buttons. and for about $15 that was a bargain. Another bargain was looseleafs. For a few dollars, they gave you a sense of securi- ty. All your papers were organized into some system that only you probably un- derstood, and for the really organized per- son, Trapper-Keepers were in. Trapper- Keepers had more folders than there were periods in the day (eight). Additionally, people who needed to get or- ganized used pocket notepads which held the day's assign- ments. Specific classes called for off-beat supplies. Templates, big erasers, and fine- grade lead pencils were mandatory for drafting. Sketchpads were required for courses offered by the Art Department. People didn't forget the seemingly simple things. Types of pens and pencils still caught students' at- tentions. Otto Rihtar- ic, senior, said, I like to use all five colors of my pen because they're eye-catching.'' People continued to use dictionaries and holepunchers. There was, however, a slight change, now these bulky objects were shrunken to hook right onto the rings of looseleafs. It was a big change from scissors and glue in the fourth grade. Supplies gave the edge at being ready to meet the school day head-on. ■ Eric Fiasta Try to imagine yourself having to do bookkeeping without a calculator z r III hit the road • I t's raining, and it's dusk.

Lasting from 2:15 to 3:30pm twice a week for almost four months, driv- er's ed. was a learning experience. Each week students faced having to drive in an instruction car. At the conclusion of Driver's Ed., students were ready to take their road test, but practicing driving didn't just prepare them. Every student had two 40-minute classroom instruction ses- sions each week. These sessions re- vealed to students proper auto main- tenance and the traffic laws. Diahann McLoughlin, senior, said, Some of the films are pretty gory, like the drunk driving ones. Seeing the totalled cars and accident victims is enough to stop anyone from drinking. Based on notes, dittos, and films they saw, stu- dents were given quizzes.

The days of panic before the due date of a paper were unforgettable. Tre- mendous research and in-depth studies went into projects which took weeks or just days to complete depending on the stu- dent. When the teacher wrote on the black- board in huge letters, Twenty page report on any topic due four months from tomor- row, students thought, Ah, no problem.. .there's enough time to get it done. Actually, stu- dents had no inten- tion of starting the pa- per until a few weeks before it was to be handed in. I got the materials that I need- ed for my research as soon as the paper was assigned, but I didn't begin the actu- al work on it until about a week and a half before it was due, said Lori Lifson, senior. To produce the masterpiece paper used as a model for future generations (and to get a good grade) one had to go through many phases of preparation. Kristin Grosser, freshman, said, ' First, I went to the library and took out all the stuff I needed. Then I orga- nized my research into a pretty detailed outline and wrote my first draft. Finally, the last draft was written so it could be handed in the next day. With each paper, new paranoia emerged. Junior Mi- chael Bartlotta said, The biggest thing I hate about doing a term paper is writing it. I am always afraid that my wording sounds too much like it's out of a encyclo- pedia, even though it isn't. The encyclope- dia was only the be- ginning of the lengthy bibliographies for people s papers. However, when the bibliography was completed, whether it was for a paper on phylum amphibia or the role of women in Amish society, a sigh of relief always es- caped.

Did you know Scientific Re- search was offered? What about Acting and Play Production? Each department tried to make avail- able a creative or un- usual elective. Begun in 1984, Sci- entific Research en- couraged students to create and work on projects not encoun- tered in science clas- ses. One project un- dertook to discover if seeds grown under high gravity were dif- ferent from those grown under normal conditions. Willy Ahrens, senior, said, My project will show if temperature makes amphibian eggs male or female. It affects reptile eggs. This type of research gives me the chance to see what being a herpeto- logist is really like. In the English de- partment, students who took Acting and Play Production had the opportunity to write two-person scripts and then act them out. The course gave insight into the production of a play, and at the end of a semester students staged one scene from a full-length play. Gina Ruzzier, se- nior, said, 1 like writ- ing children's plays. We polish them up in class and then per- form them in the ele- mentary schools. Learning about a profession was a driv- ing reason for many of these electives. Fu- ture architects could begin their trade in Drafting, and aspiring designers developed their talents in Interi- or Design. Studio in Art gave experience in drawing, painting, crafts, graphics, and the commercial arts. Fashion merchandis- ing, a course offered by the business de- partment, taught how to successfully oper- ate a fashion bou- tique.

In class, students were encouraged to speak whenever possible the language that they were studying, but for a few, Say it in En- glish was the rule. To these approxi- mately 20 students, English was a for- eign language. This was the first year that English as a Second Language (ESL) was under the direction of a full-time teacher, Mrs. Clare Vann. ESL was a compre- hensive program designed to build proficiency in English skills and a knowledge of American culture. Com- bined with students bused in from Howitt every afternoon, ESL could boast of a diverse group of students from all reaches of the world: Asia, the Middle East, and Central and South America. Although three skill levels of collo- quial and written English were taught, students picked up some slang that wasn't in the course. No problem man! said Philip Schneit, a freshman who moved here from Korea in April, This class very funny. Most people study a language be- cause they are required to, or they want to. ESL students take English be- cause they have to. They need it to survive, said Mrs. Vann. j£ric Piasta THAT’S THE WAY Learning English is a difficult task for any foreigner.

I took an elective which sounded more interesting.'' Computer lan- guages from BASIC to PASCAL were taught in Scientific Program- ming classes, depen- ding on how much the person already knew. BASIC, as its name implied, was very basic but also necessary for pro- gramming. When peo- ple progressed in their abilities, they were challenged by new programming enigmas. People have learned from televi- sion that it was just as important for teachers to keep up with computer trends as it was for students. Mr. Barry Kahn agreed. It can make the difference be- tween a good teacher and an exciting versa- tile teacher.'' SAT prep courses utilized special com- puter software to pre- pare students for the SAT.

The mere mention of the word quadratic in course 1,2 or 3 was enough to bring back bleak memories of math class to hundreds of students. Why has mathematics proven to be such an unforgettable experience for so many? Maybe it was because math required one to recall countless geom- etry theories and algebra equations from previous years. By forgetting just one equation, one's math career could have taken a dive! Still, the factors which caused a fear of the two page math problem ex- tended much deeper. Math was a sub- ject that not only required knowing the facts but also their correct applica- tion, especially in calculus, offered as both an advanced placement course and an introductory course.

Another popular use of the library was for do- ins homework. I use the library most- ly for doins homework, said Kelly Garner, freshman. Seniors also found the collese corner on the library's sec- ond floor an excellent aid in discover- ins where they misht spend the next four years of their lives. When one was lookins for relax- ation, literally a wall of masazines ransins from Nightlife to Time were the answer. The quiet sanctity of the library was broken, however, when the alarm of the new book theft detection system went off on one occasion. To the sur- prise of the librarians, the alarm soun- ded when Dr. Steven Kussin, principal, tried to leave. His book wasn't prop- erly demasnetized. Althoush the sys- tem cost $10,000, estimates showed that within less than three years the system would pay for itself. The ca- sual borrowing of books caused a lot of books to be missing at the end of the year. A student in a rush would borrow a book without checking it out, and never bother to return it, said Mrs. Dorothy Vining, librarian. | Eric Piasta WATCH OUT!

The boy grabbed the note and quickly handed it to the girl who sat be- hind him. The teach- er looked up with a frown, and then went back to her lesson. To alleviate class- room boredom and tension, many stu- dents either talked or passed notes to each other. The best tech- nique was throwing the note on the floor so the other student could bend down and pick it up. Andrea Badalamenti, sopho- more, said, Often I just have to talk to my friends because some of my classes get so boring.

The unlucky stu- dent caught writing on a desk was recruit- ed by the teacher to clean the room s desks. Another helpful di- version was eating in class. On the reverse side of the coin, however, was the recurring teacher s nightmare. After spending a whole period explain- ing a topic, a stu- dent's reply to a question would be, What are you talking about? which in turn elicited This situa- tion can make me ex- tremely angry, said Mrs. Cherie Bluth, for- eign language teacher. Although teachers tried by various meth- ods to keep their stu- dents attentive, they didn't always suc- ceed.

Ohysical education has been a part of students' schedules since elemen- tary school, and it will continue to be so throughout college. From the dreaded swimming class to a game of touch football, physical education has helped students develop sportsman- ship, encourage competitive natures and stay in shape. Most of all, it has provided a way for students to have fun during school. Because of the enthusiasm with which students signed up for hockey on breakdown days, it seemed obvi- ous hockey was the most popular sport in gym. Pat Nieli, senior, said, Unlike basketball, hockey lets you take out your frustrations by being vi- olent. It's rough, but it's fun. But hockey wasn't loved by everyone. Basketball is better,” claimed Vin- ny Markovina, sophomore, It re- quires more skill because it's a game of accuracy. Perhaps it was opinions as diverse as these which added to the excitement in gym. Those taking basketball noticed that the weight-lifting classes, usually in the same area, were moved to their own room outside the gym for extra space. Regardless of one’s preference, the activities in the boys' and girls' gyms were a relief from the pressures of ev- eryday school life. For 40 minutes the schoolbooks could be put aside. ■ Jon-Paul Fortunato WANNA BUY A BRIDGE? The proximity of Mew York City to Long Island enabled classes to make frequent trips there.

The edu- cational merits of field trips were ever present. A Humanities 12 trip to the Metro- politan Museum of Art entailed taking notes on the classics and modem works.

Mr. Vin- cent Lyons, social studies teacher, said, “Walking through the cobblestone streets, you could imagine yourself back in the 1700's, but then, you hear a bus honk its horn. Under teachers' guidance, students discovered the educa- tional benefits of go- ing on field trips; but students still had their own reasons for going. Said Lisa Por- pora, senior, “Field trips are cool if they'- re on school days, be- cause there's no class!'' ■ Eric Fiasta IH AHD OUT After an afternoon at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, It's off to dinner.

The classes were smaller and allowed for a more individual type of attention. This program was PAGE - Paths to Achieve Goals in Education. PAGE was designed to provide an alternative for students who had difficulty adjusting to the high school environment. Most members came from the 10th through 12th grades, and with approx- imately 50 students, the program was filled. Students had to be recom- mended to become members. The stu- dent then went through an interview to determine if he or she really wanted to improve or was just under pressure from parents and teachers to join. Im- provements desired ranged from bet- ter attendance to getting along with students in a more positive way. Here, they're average or above-av- erage, but mostly shy, said Mrs. Christine Friedman, PAGE teacher. Some students became so motivat- ed that they decided to accelerate by going to school over the summer. Others decided a college education was best for them and pursued it. PAGE was unusual. The students put out their own personal yearbook, and every so often assemblies were held to reward students for little things such as improvements in attendance.

You had to adjust to new teaching styles. I think that every teacher has a unique teaching style be- cause of their differ- ent personalities ' said Mr. William Roche, math teacher. Different personalities brought out unusual classroom ap- proaches often re- freshing to students. The twang of guitar strings and the rustle of tarot cards were fa- miliar sounds to Mr. Anthony Setteducat- ti's 10th and 12th En- glish grade classes. Mr. Setteducatti dealt the fate of the tarot cards after an exhaus- tive week's study of such material as the intricacies of various American authors and their works. Teachers also used humor in an attempt to motivate the stu- dents and, in a sense, develop a better rela- tionship with them. Mr. John Conroy, so- cial studies teacher, frequently poked hu- mor at the question- able backgrounds and activities of vari- ous famous men. Be- ing intensive history enthusiasts, students felt bound to chal- lenge him with trivia questions that the Guinness Book of World Records didn't even cover in such detail. Mr. Conroy rarely failed to answer their challenges ade- quately, and frequent- ly excited his Euro- pean History AP class with the lure of a quiz exemption for the day if they could answer one of his trivia ques- tions. The humor and jok- ing around helped lessen the serious- ness of those daily quizzes that became so routine in difficult classes. A weekly 500 word paper was com- mon to English AP students. Non-AP course teachers also subscribed to this rig- orous doctrine of work and study. Mr. Phil Brody, physics teacher, was one of these teach- ers. Giving quizzes and homework as- signments everyday resulted in excellent scores on the Physics his teaching style- well, he's like the mad scientist Regents for a majority of his students. Se- nior Charlie Poakeart said, If you spend time and do the ho- mework you'll get a 100 on the quiz. His teaching style- well, he's like the mad sci- entist.'' Others found it a change to get used to. He's tough. It's a change from the relaxed mood of some of my other teachers,” said Joe Abate, senior. Making that adjust- ment from teacher to teacher wasn't always easy. Senior Laurie O'Brien said, I do my best after the first quarter. I have to ad- just to my new teach- ers.” Whatever the case, teachers tried to make their class the best possible, and once students got used to it, it could be plenty of fun. ® Eric Piasta THE RHYTHM IS RIGHT Under Mr. Brad DeMilo's di- rection, the Select Wind En- semble rehearses.

The students gazed at the board, and then one of them asked, So that's how you do it? This was the first year of AP Physics, a course that went beyond the topic matter and depth of coverage of a physics regents course. Mr. Barry Kahn, AP Physics teacher, said, It's probably the toughest and most chal- lenging course in the school. You need insight into the problems. The course was open to 11th graders willing to meet its challenges and demands. Robert Rosinski, junior, said, A prob- lem which took up 10 lines in the book took over an hour to figure out. Earth science, biology, chemistry, and physics remained the science de- partment's principle courses. In biolo- gy, frogs were the subjects of dissec- tion, and students produced silver in chemistry class. Minor accidents from Bunsen burners or chemicals went along with these experiments. If some- thing went wrong with an AP Chemis- try lab, students often resorted to an- cient pagan worship. Philip Santan- gelo, senior, said, If necessary, you must give flesh to the lab god. ■ Eric Piasta TICKER-TAPE PARADE Ticker-tape at- tached to a falling object determined if the velocity was increasing.

Some students tried to make the absolute most out of those last 48 hours. They went home, locked them- selves in their rooms, and opened their minds to thousands of facts, ready to re- gurgitate them at a moment's notice. Pat Bocarde, senior, was a little reluctant to admit to it: I guess I did some cram- ming. I kept on studying. Others made up a plan of attack for the finals and stuck to it. A typical schedule ran: Monday, 4 PM- Geometry, 7:30 PM- English; Tuesday, 4:30 PM- World Histo- ry, 9 PM- Chemistry. Senior Chris Foley said, I did it over a few days. I made up a schedule of study- ing, and I did really well.

The concern of fitting each one in was the main problem. I take it one season at a time. During wrestling season I concentrate on different aspects that I wouldn't during lacrosse,” said senior Rob Ruggiero. Students felt that handling more than one sport was no problem at all. It's easy. I take them as they come,” said freshman Bil- ly Adams, who played three sports. Mike Bresnahan, soph- omore, even found it help- ful. The different posi- tions I play all use the same basic skills, so they make playing the other sports easier for me.” There was always the possibility of injuries. Kev- in Boyle, senior, said, Sometimes you have to look ahead; like when you play football, you have to make sure you don't get hurt for lacrosse.” This was a major concern for sports players. Out-of-school sports also created a conflict with in-school sports. Linda Clark, sophomore, said, When it comes to out-of- school sports, I have soc- cer on the weekends and volleyball on the week- days, so it's really a busy schedule.” Although they worried about running themselves down or being unable to fit everything into their schedules, stu- dents chose to continue playing more than one sport. I would never think of cutting other sports out. I just have to budget my time between the in- school and out-of-school sports; but at the same time I want to enjoy them,” said Bresnahan. Although it was time consuming, participating in more than one sport ap- pealed to sports-oriented students, no doubt, it took more energy, time and de- votion; but in the long run, it was well worth it. ■ Christine Gosline SAVING THE DAY In a game against Hewlett, Scott Qlardlna snares a shot with one hand to pre- vent a goal.

If someone has the athletic ability, he might as well take advantage of it and get what he can, said se- nior Carl Congelosi, Some people have athlet- ic talent and some have ac- ademic ability. It is up to the individual to made the most of his particular skill. I think it is al! right for somebody to get a schol- arship because of his ath- letic ability, said senior Troy Pabregas, It's not like every jock' gets a scholarship. In fact, only a small percentage got any type of scholarship, let alone a full-tuition one. Ac- cording to athletic director Don Synder, It is probably necessary for a person to have a great amount of tal- ent to get a scholarship of this type. Still, the controversy existed. Is it right to give out athletic scholarships? People had their own opi- nions about it. As Owens put it, You should do whatever you can to get ahead in life. ■ Rajula Sati • Michael Koopman Fitting in school, family, and sports was a chore football, physics ho- mework, or a movie - which would I rather do? The choice was a difficult one to make, but it was one that had to be made by many athletes. Did it really take a superhuman to jug- gle so many things at once and still stay on his or her feet? Senior Rita Rubino said, Sometimes you just have to cut short one thing and make room for another, for example, when an im- portant paper is due, you can't expect to hang out with your friends all night. Everything becomes a lot easier if you make a sched- ule and stick to it. Rich Owens, senior, said, When you do many things well, such as partici- pating in sporting events and getting good grades in school, people recognize you more and they're not just your friends. Oppor- tunities for going to good colleges also increase be- cause of all the efforts that are put in. Students felt that so much involvement affect- ed family relationships, freshman Ernestine Byer said, Sports interfere with my family life because I can't spend as much time with them as I would like to. Byer also felt that her long tennis practices after school affected her grades in school. I get home at about six o'clock and sometimes I have trouble finishing my homework for the next day,'' Byer said. After all the conse- quences were faced, ath- letes agreed that it was all worth while. Senior Karen Braunsdorf said, Han- dling all of these things makes a person more re- sponsible, and the only reason I do them is be- cause want to.” ■ Chetan Sati • Farag Raje • Wilson Lam BODY OR MIND Using all the concentration she needs.

The tennis teams, boys and girls, coached by Mr. Leon- ard Marino, reached both extremes of the score- board in the season's rec- ord. The varsity girls' team finished its season with an overall standing of seven wins and five losses - a tre- mendous re- cord in the school's ten- nis history. “This phenom- enal record is due in part to a great effort by all the players, not just the sen- iors,” said Mr. Marino, re- ferring to the defeated seasons of the past. The girls also creamed their ri- val Bethpage for the first time. This happened twice, and the games brought in the highest scores of the season. The boys' team ended up with a re- cord of four wins and ten losses. How- ever, the team was not discouraged. There was a division change which put them in a more favorable position. “We want to come back and dominate, said Jas- on Farrell, junior. ■ Kathy Gillian Boys' Girls' 4-10 7-5 3-4 Oyster Bay 2-S Glen Cove 1-4 Plain view 0-7 Bell.

Most of them were found in the gym or on the field. If you haven't guessed by now, they just happened to be the jocks. A jock not only achieves physically, but mentally as well, said ju- nior Jill Conrod. Jocks val- ued their schoolwork as much as their sports. It's not the only thing in my life, but I enjoy it, said se- nior Philip Mekelburg. Jocks used sports as a way of letting out their frustra- tions; others just played for fun. It's a good way to be- come popular and to meet people, said Edgar Glas- cott, junior. Contrary to how other students viewed jocks, most felt they were being stereotyped. I don't think being a jock makes me anyone special. We are regular people interested in sports instead of other clubs, said Casey Cook, senior. College recognition was one of the advantages of being a jock. It's a great way to be noticed by col- leges, said Chris Bottjer, Junior. The victory parties were another part of the fun. They make a winning game complete, said se- nior Tom DiSarlo. Stu- dents felt that jock parties were not just for the team but for everyone with spir- it. The parties I've been to that were really good were open to everyone, said senior Liz Jiacoppo. But there were things that were still held sacred, like the jock bench where ath- letes relaxed with friends during their free periods. Among themselves, the label of jock had been worn out. Senior Jeff Gord- dard said, There's no such thing as jocks in this school. They are a dying breed. ■ Christine Gos- line • Lisa Bahamonde WHAT A MAM I As the jocks get psyched for a soccer game against their rival, Berner, Jim Maslonski flashes his bulging muscles.

The game was over; the other team won. The worst feeling is los- ing a game when you know you outplayed the other team. It doesn't matter if you outplayed them the entire game. The only score that matters is the one that is flashed upon the scoreboard at the end of the game ' stated Karen Braunsdorf, a senior mem- ber of the Girls' Varsity Soccer, Basketball, and Softball teams. Gary Woo, senior, played on the Boys' Varsity Tennis team. Although the circumstances are differ- ent between team sports such as soccer and individ- ual sports like tennis, the feelings are the same. Matches usually hinge on one person, but in the end it's a team effort. When one of us loses a match, the whole team suffers, Woo said. Then, of course, there were the good times; the best of times that seemed too few, when teams emerged victorious and all spirits soared. When we win, stated Braunsdorf, we know that we earned it; that we deserved it. We experienced such a win last season in a game against Bast Meadow. Ev- eryone gave it his all.'' nat- urally, the feelings shared amongst the players was elation, and high tension energy - the ecstasy of the win. Then there were those special games when the at- mosphere was mellow and light even after a loss. Jen- nifer Brady, a senior on the Girls' Varsity Tennis team stated, The only time we are really upset about a loss is when we know we could have won; that victo- ry was ours. When we lose after playing our best, the defeat is minimal. ■ Debbie Gecewicz ing of West Hempstead.

The team had another fine season, though, ending the season with a record of 11-3. Coach Irving Apgar said that the team worked hard to achieve their re- cord. Freeport was just a better team. The team was lead by captains Maureen Graf, Carol Devine, and Janine Compitello, all of whom are seniors. We all had good years individually and as a team, said Com- pitello. Outstanding ef- forts were turned in by senior Veronica Ortiz, who had an 11-3 record, and the doubles team of seniors Devine and Carol Ortiz, who finished with a 10-2 record. There were only three seniors on the team, but the younger players came through admi- rably. The team was composed of a lot of young players, and we were very pleased with the way they per- formed, said Graf. Their performance was good enough for them to finish second in the Conference IA Tournament. Sopho- more Christine Sarno said, The team really de- served second place, maybe even first, and the captains should be proud of their team. ■ Mike Koopman • Muriel Karp 7-0 Varsity 11-3 MaiupeqiM 6-1 Uniondale 7-0 Lawrence 5-2 Baldwin 0-7 Freeport 4-3 Oceanside 7-0 Berner 6-1 Massapequa 7-0 Uniondale 7-0 Lawrence S-2 Baldwin 1-6 Freeport 3-4 Oceanside 7-0 Berner VARSITY BADMINTON front Row: Christine Sarno.

Practice wasn't the only thing that made a team. Besides all those long-lost hours, it took dedication. Senior Tom Rindos said, The football team prac- ticed about two hours a day; they practiced hard to prepare themselves for up- coming games with hopes of a perfect season. Tom Hall, senior and captain of the varsity football team, said. We re great because we re crazy. Hall felt that their unfortunate loss to Lawrence was only be- cause it was the first game of the season, and the players didn't have the in- tensity they achieved later. Phil fazzino, senior, said, We re not as large as last year, but we have the po- tential to win the champi- onship. It wasn't always as easy as sweeping the cham- pionships and titles away from the other teams. To bring about a winning team it took endurance, determination, and most of all, practice. Jill Conrod, junior, said, What we ac- complish most in practice is team unity. Without it we would go nowhere. ■ Lori Van Nostrand • Chris Gosline POINT OP MO RETURN In the midst of a ground- stroke drill, Qary Woo retal- iates with a powerful back- hand stroke.

Howev- er, there were those that hit the courts, slam-dunk- ed the basketballs, or hit the waves with surfboards to the motto of It's leisure time!'' On weekends and after school, students could be found participating in sports. Bowling was an ac- tivity that was both com- petitive and challenging. Rod Williams, junior, said, My friends and I go bowl- ing to hang out and pick up girls.'' Skateboarding was also a way students spent their free time. Skateboards weren't allowed on school grounds, so students re- sorted to the streets around their homes. Se- nior Bruce DiPietro said, Skateboarding is a radi- cal sport. The best thing to do is hang on the back of a car and see how fast you will go! During the colder months the most popular sport was, of course, skiing. The school offered one and two-day ski trips to the ski slopes upstate, but students also went on their own or with their fam- ilies. Winter is great be- cause you get to go skiing, said junior Cheryl McGovern, but the har- dest part is getting onto the lift. Junior Moreen Winterfelt said, Getting up after you fell down into the snow was the most dif- ficult for me. During the warmer months students would flock to the beaches. Surf- ing was an exhilarating sport to participate in while showing off to friends. Senior J.J. Spaleta said, Surfing is my favor- ite summer activity. It gives me a chance to get out into the ocean and do more than just swim. Bowling, skate boarding, skiing or surfing—stu- dents could choose any or all types of leisure sports to further their athletic ac- tivity outside of school. A busy day in school left some students in need of rest, but others went out to play sports knowing they saved the best for last. ■ Eve Eskin KEEEYYAAAHHHIII Daler students along with younger Kids and members of the community prepare to perform a sidekick at a PBC karate course.

Coming off a terrible start, the team rallied to a 13-8 re- cord emerg- ing as one of the Nassau County finalists. We started off slowly but peaked at a critical time salvaging a good season, said senior Kevin Boyle. Just when students gave up on the mighty Dalers, the team re- sponded by crushing their last seven opponents before their loss in the fi- nals. For the JV team there was no such thing as an easy win. Their sched- ule consisted of the tough- est non- league oppo- nents.

Having to di- rect the team's offensive plays always caused a lot of pressure on the quarter- back. photo tloah Rosen- e v Spring Track 3 Often, the pressure put on athletes was unnerving Is it “pre-mortem riga- mortis ? Or, perhaps it should be granted a medi- cal term - athleticos com- petitious paralysis. Any athlete on a high school sports team has experi- enced the pressure that causes the sweat to run from his forehead, his hands to shake, and his entire body to stiffen in tense anxiety. But where does the pres- sure come from? The members of a team that have enjoyed a winning tradition feel the greatest pressure because more is expected of them. The members of a champion team fear failure more than players on a less suc- cessful team. The golf teams of the early 1980's found a home at the bottom of the Divi- sion I standings. However, this season marked the cli- max of the golf team's as- cension to the champion- ship after finishing second to Syosset in 1985. T.J. Persampire, junior, said, There was no pressure on us in '85 and '86. nobody expected us to be cham- pions. We were a Cinderel- la team - a pleasant sur- prise. now the pressure is on. If we don't repeat in '87, we re failures. The members of the football team consistently provided home-town fans with a representative in the division title game. If any athlete in the school felt pressure, it was Andrew Vaughan. He inherited the co-championship of the team. “People place an awful lot of pressure to succeed on you, said Vaughan. “The player must come to expect it from himself; much pres- sure is brought on by your own fear of failure. The pressure of the playoffs was something that only the best teams experienced. Casey Cook, senior and varsity basket- ball team member, said, “The pressure is tremen- dous ... you can't relax. It's a question of which team wants it most. We've got to give it everything for the full 32 minutes, or the season is over. There are no more second chances. ■ Noah Rosenberg PRESSED FOR TIME Taking a minute to think things out. Trank Williamson relaxes during a game against hicksville.

Turning into the opposing team's school driveway, the athletes were in deep concentra- tion and were ready to spring into action. I think about my game plan ... about hitting the ball hard, vibrating the strings of my racket, said freshman Eric frank. Psy- ching played an important part in every sport; the only difference was how in- dividuals prepared for an event. I just like to stretch out, relax, and think about the game, said senior Rich Owens, The more 1 relax, the less nervous I am before the game starts. Some people had the notion that psyching up was Just a lot of head ban- ging, screaming and get- ting pumped up. I like to make a lot of noise before our meet starts, said Joe Dalto, junior. To get psy- ched up for swimming we did cheers and banged on lockers ' said Melissa Gross, junior. Seniors Janine Compi- tello and Lisa Lehman de- cided that banging their heads together in a head- butt would be their meth- od of psyching up before a soccer game. We did it one night while we were out socializing, and ever since then we did it before all of our soccer games, said Compitello. Psyching up also brought about a case of nervous tension in other athletes. I just don't think about the track meets, and it doesn't bother me. Thinking about fun things, like going to Manhattan, makes my anxiety go away, said Christine Chew, sophomore. Whether athletes went crazy and became excited before their games or just sat back and pondered them, psyching of some sort was still needed to get them ready. Robert Cloo- nan, junior, said, I act a little silly in preparation for a sports event, but that's not too out of the ordi- nary! ■ Chetan Sati • Danny Levine Pflvehing-Up- Injuries were not only painful for the player but the team as well When the team's star player ended up in the nurse's office instead of at the victory party — a per- son knew it was another one of those sports injur- ies. In sports the thrill of play and competition were not the only things that overcame athletes. Get- ting hurt while playing sports could overcome all aspirations for any ath- lete's season. Senior Tom Rindos broke his leg playing foot- ball. I got caught between the grass and another player, and then I felt the leg break, said Rindos. Dave Yanelli, senior, had a bone rubbing against his kneecap, and he sustained two ankle injuries playing football. It has to be the most frustrating thing I have experienced. You want to get up and play and it drives you crazy. When you sit on the sidelines you know you could be helping if you were out there, Ya- nelli said. According to nurses, athletes and coaches, an- kle injuries such as sprains and pulled ligaments were by far the most common. The most dangerous sport, football, was where the most injuries were in- curred. Senior Jim Lomot, who broke his left ankle playing football, said. The body isjust not made for football. Besides being painful, an injury ruined social plans and chances for scholarships. Because of OUT FOR THE COUNT The medical assistants tend to Dave Bel I la after he took a hit in the stomach.

I will have to go to Massau or Post and prove to Hofs- tra that I can play, Rindos explained. Yanelli said, It's not much fun going to a dance party on crutches. People think that you are trying to get attention for yourself. But a little thing like a broken leg never stopped anybody, noth- ing will stop me from party- ing, nothing, warned Rin- dos. Preventive medicine was practiced among coaches. A physical therapist came in August to help with in- jury prevention by pre- scribing exercises. The coaches are really good about prevention; they tape up the kids to lessen chances of injury, said Mrs. Trudy Scheck, head nurse. Getting slammed, hit, checked and bumped dur- ing sports play often result- ed in minor injuries. But, it was good to know that stu- dents didn't suffer major setbacks. Mrs. Scheck as- sured, For the size of the school and the number of kids who participate in sports, the number of in- juries is not overwhelm- ing. ■ Assunta Gag!lone • Carol Devine OFF YOUR TOES With spirits down and In- jured ankle raised, Dave Yannelll watches as the Dal- ers play Nicksville. Injuries were a painful part of the game, photo Michael Alfieri Inexperience and a lack of guidance plagued the boys' and girls' gymnas- tics teams at the start of their seasons. The boys' team was struck with a problem. The experienced gymnasts had graduated, and left in their places were talented but untrained gymnasts. It was a new team, but the guys improved quickly. We had a good season considering the lack of experience, said Troy Fabregas, senior. When the girls' season opened, the team was without a coach. Recruit- ed by Michelle Cohen, Lou Fiore from Schnars Gym- nastics Center agreed to take on the job. Along with coach Fiore came choreogra- pher, Sue Dery. Keri DiNa- poli, fresh- man, said, You learn things you never thought you could do. It was a valu- able experience. Contrary to their pre- season jitters, the team pulled through and went on to finish a successful season. ■ Kathy Gillan Boys Girls' 2-4 6-2 7U4M long Beach 59-78.4 locuti Valiev •I .'- Oyttn Bay 84 8 181.9$ Mjwapcqua 92.4S-76 7$ Baldwin 84 « 81.8$ Ireepori Scalord 9)1-1 ).$ Cade Hate 9J 9$-l $.9 Manhattef 114.)-107.S floral Park 104 3-115.2 Mmeola 87.2-1 4.I ItUnd Tree 100 as-1 7.25 Wantagh 1M.2S-108 Lawrence 9 $-109.)

Maslonski s of- fensive feats helped the Dal- ers reach finals, photo Mi- chael Roopman net-worthy performance There were many stand-out plays that put the Dalers over the top As the athlete sped down the field protected by his armor of cloth and plastic, he jostled the hard rubber ball in his stick. Ap- proaching the opponent's goal, he noticed a fellow teammate poised on the very chalk of the goal crease waiting for a pass. He saw the receiver, and he was sure the defense did also. Quickening his pace and heading for the open man, he raised his stick and swung; but the defense leapt to intercept. Where they had, however. expected to find a ball, they found nothing but empty air. They had been fooled by the attacker s chicanery, and it had cost them. He had not passed to his cohort; he had in- stead fired a shot at the goal catching the goal ten- der off his guard. Not only was this goal Jim Naslon- ski's sixth of the game, but it also broke the previous- ly tied score bringing victo- ry to his team. As in any sport, certain unusual and outstanding plays would be remem- bered long after the sea- son's excitement has been forgotten. In one meet against Syosset, the girls' swim team could not easily grasp victory. The score was very close all day with the lead changing hands time after time until the 400 meter relay changed the situation. The relay team swam so well that suddenly the meet was a guaranteed victory for the Dalers. Outstanding plays were exciting, but they were also employed by the op- position to work against us. In the football playoff game against the Long Beach Marines, the Dalers were leading 6-0. With 10 minutes remaining in the last quarter, one of the Ma- rines ran from his 10 yard line all the way to a touch- down, which was followed by a successful extra-point kick. An unusual play on behalf of the ‘other guys'' gave Long Beach the game. ■ Gene Swift • Tommy La Falce ( Stand-Out .Plays THE FINAL STRETCH Exhausted, Tara McQowan completes the last leg of the 400 meter relay.

This was the famous St. Anthony's In- vitational. The cross country team coached by Al Parks be- gan practice a week be- fore school started and ended about a week into November. The boys' team finished with a 5-8 record. Everybody gave their best effort this sea- son, said Vinny Marko- vina, who placed second in the St. Anthony's race and made it to the State Qualifiers Meet along with junior Dina Cirillo. The girls' team seemed to be plagued with injuries and ended the season at 3-5. Team captain, ju- nior Christine Kozlowski was injured during the last two weeks of the season but man- aged the best time of 23:06 in the half mile.

Ju- nior Jill Toumour, a mem- ber of the swim and soft- ball teams, said, It doesn't matter how many fans there are. They don't bother me that much, but the support helps. Sam- my Pangalo, a freshman on the swim team, said, It's hard to concentrate when other schoolmates are watching me. The fans had mixed feel- ings on why they came to the events. I think it helps to give the players confi- dence; they feel that peo- ple are rooting for them. I like to stand behind our team, said Denise Burka, senior. Students also went to games because they knew what it was like to have a roaring crowd at their backs, Being an athlete, I realize how important it is to have enthusiasm be- hind you. I consider the Daler Fan' to be my role model; he is the epitome of school spirit, said Rich Owens, senior. Schoolmates weren't the only fans. Parents, teachers, and the commu- nity also joined the ranks. Qail McGuirk, whose son Pat is on the swim team, said, ”1 like to root for the team my son is on. At times he has asked me not to come, so I obliged him. I don't want to make him feel more nervous. Since VCR's have be- come popular, more fans taped the games.

It will also help him with his diving if he sees what he is doing wrong, said Doris Cloonan whose son Robert, a junior, was on the swim team. The roaring, chanting and even the silence of the crowd backing up the players was a big part of team success.

At the meet the score was 86-86, a situation rarely seen. Both teams tied for first.

With a record of 7- 2 they made it into the semi- finals but lost 7-6 to Long Beach. The offense had its flaws, but with Tony Paccione and Tom Hall's running, they put points on the board. The offense had over 200 yards rushing in every game. Led by Andrew Vaughan, Andrew Arcuri and Tom Hall, the team pulled three shutouts. The Daler defense was intimidating to the other teams, said senior Rob Celentano. People didn't expect much of us this year. We didn't have many super- stars, but I think we were in that class. It is a classic example of what a team can do when they play to- gether, said Jim Lomot, senior. The JV team finished with a season of 8-0.

'‘Every ground ball counts when you play MacArthur ' said Krause, photo G6rB t’s on the line The big game produced nothing but excitement Tension had risen throughout the gymnasi- um during the girls' bas- ketball game against rival Syosset. Things looked bleak with our team one point behind and 15 sec- onds left. Syosset had pos- session until the miracu- lous steal that changed the game. The ball was passed to senior Rita Rub- ino who drove up court and passed to Moreen Win- terfeldt, junior, who made a dazzling 15 foot jump shot at the final buzzer to secure a 42-41 win. The big games of our season are all usually ri- valries. It's when we play a tough team like Garden City in the playoffs or fight with Hicksville over the league title that the games end up being the high- lights of our lacrosse sea- son, said senior Stan Krause. A game won not only improves a team's re- cord but its spirit as well, especially if the opposing team is a rival. Team rivalries build over a period of years and come to dominate the sport. In our game against MacArthur, there was so much fighting on the field that we were forced to call the game with a few seconds left. Things get out of control because rivalries like this can really affect the out- come of our games, said senior Matt Hayden who played on the varsity la- crosse team. The strong record of the girls' badmin- ton team had only one blemish, its loss to Free- port. Our main goal was to beat Freeport, said Carol Devine, senior. Sometimes the competi- tiveness between two teams led to an over- whelming urge to beat that opponent but occasionally it's vice versa, and the ri- valry comes as an effect of a crucial game. Such was the case of the boys' foot- ball team; their game against Hempstead was Hempstead's final loss be- fore a 20 game winning streak and their capture of the Rutgers' cup two sea- sons in a row. Losing the big game does not necessarily make for a total loss for the team. In the Girls' Varsity Soccer semi-final playoff game against Berner, our loss of 2-1 didn't shake the team's spirit or fight. We had a stronger team posi- tion for position, said Kar- ina Guerrero, sophomore. It was more of a victory for us because even the refer- ees said we out played them.

Mr. Frank Macchio, for- mer JV coach, moved up to assist Coach Pete Cerrone, the varsity coach, yet, it didn't seem cluttered. The two coaches worked great side by side. Coach Mac- chio stated jokingly, Of course if it wasn't for me, he (Cer- rone) would be humiliating the other teams, winning by 50 points. The new arrangement worked out well for the players too. “They worked very hard in the off season, and during the season they practiced to improve their skills, said Coach Cerrone. The girls won the Conference Championship for the fifth consecutive year and cap- tured the County Cham- pionship be- fore losing to Lindenhurst in the Long Is- land Champi- onship game. Mr. Dave Otto took over the JV team. Altho- ugh he had no former experience coach- ing girls basketball, the team had a successful season, finishing at 12-3. ■ Maureen Bloodnick Varsity IV 20- 14 12-3 72-28 Manhasset 54-48 35-58 Holy Trinity 33-42 48-53 St. Johns 52-21 OLM 31-60 58-26 Roosevelt 48-52 Long Beach 55-32 Malvcrnc 72-36 Syosset 44-51 66-30 Hempstead Oyster Bay 38-39 70-26 Plainview 34-57 43-20 I.

For the varsity lacrosse team, their game against Ward Melville, a tough competitor, was made even more important be- cause the teams didn't meet until the playoffs. Long Beach has tradi- tionally been not just the strongest competition for the Girls' Varsity Swim- ming team, but just about the only competition. The rivalry is very strong,'' said Laura Raiser, junior, because they al- ways beat us by just a small margin. Long Beach had an impressive record of four undefeated years and victories in the County Championship for four consecutive years, just barely nosing out the Dalers who came in a close second. The big game—it's the traditional high point of ev- ery team's season (wheth- er it was a decisive Boys' Varsity Soccer game against Mepham, a touch- and-go Homecoming game against Hicksville, or a racquet-slamming-fight- to-win tennis match versus Bethpage) the play was fast and furious. And if the Dalers won, they took home a pride, worth more than any trophy. ■ Karen Epper FLYING AHEAD During a crucial meet against Long Beach. Jill Toumour pulls ahead In the 100 meter fly.

But equipment doesn't just consist of the custom- ary pads, uniforms, sneak- ers, balls, and sticks asso- ciated with sports. While these items provide the necessary protection for sports participation, there is other equipment which plays an important part in the sports scene. Though nets, mats, chalk lines, and pitching machines may go unnoticed, they are as essential as an ath- lete's defensive gear. The pitching machine gave a good workout, but it wasn't like the real thing,'' said senior Larry Lembo. Still, the first and fore- most types of equipment used were pads, sticks.

Injuries were lessened and even preven- ted by the outfits of the ath- letes, and sports could be played without much fear of being hurt. I know that I really won't be hurt with all the equipment I have on, said softball catcher, Lisa Lehman, senior. There are also a number of different sticks and balls used by the teams. The basketball teams use 15 balls during their prac- tices, and the baseball team can go through up to a dozen balls a game. The equipment also has its price. A lacrosse stick or a baseball glove costs over $40, and a good pair of cleats or sneakers can be in the $80 range. Most teams provide the equip- ment — pads, uniforms, balls. But the ice hockey team had to purchase its own equipment, since it was not funded by the school. 1 must have spent over $550 on equipment and sticks, said Rich Seeger, senior.

The strenu- ous workout for both the boys' and girls' teams consisted of plyametrics, jogging, sprints, leg exer- cises, and a vigorous weight training program. The boys' team partici- pated in four conference meets, competing with six or seven teams at each race. “It wasn't really an outstanding season, par- tially due to the lack of ex- perience; the team had many freshmen. We prob- ably would have done better if we had more ex- perienced members,” said Kirk Bal- deres, fresh- man. “Consider- ing all the girls who dropped out, the indi- viduals who gave it their all did well,” said junior Dina Cirillo. The 4x4 relay, which consist- ed of Kellie Splain, Cirillo, Jen Tobias, and Leslie Furr, came in third in the county and second in the State Qualifying Meet.

Coa- ched by Carl Savalli and led by senior captains Ca- sey Cook, Larry Lembo, and Keith Pet- zold, the team started off strong compiling a 4- 2 non-league record. The team has come a long way from last year be- cause we are more experi- enced, said sophomore Matt Wildes. The league season start- ed off tough, with a loss to Syosset, but Lembo and Wildes led the team to a 71-49 victory over Port Washington. The team finished with a 4-8 league record, but they scored upset victories over Mac Arthur and Hicksville in the first two rounds of the playoffs before a crushing two point loss to Lawrence in the semi-fi- nals. The JV team, coa- ched by Bruce Tetel- man, also had a successful season. They finished at 13-5, including a victory over previously unbeaten Hempstead. We had a high level of intensity ev- ery game, said junior Kenny Cohen. ■ Casey Cook Virsity JV 10-11 13-5 52-67 Wjntjgh 40-43 Calhoun 21-46 Oceanside 52-57 72-64 Locust Valley 33-79 «5-40 Berner 26-67 61-48 Lev.

Coach William Annis, the boys' swimming coach was one of the main per- sons responsible for the team's success. The strat- egy he devised in selecting line ups and his motivation helped the team do well in their meets. While the coach is per- haps the most noticeable non-player, a coach's func- tion on the team goes deeper than just teaching plays and leading prac- tices. John Papayani, as- sistant coach of the varsity wrestling team, felts that the coaching staff was the core of the team. We pro- vide emotional support and motivation as well as build up mental and physi- cal toughness, Papayani said. The managers, while not as involved in the emotion- al part of the game, kept track of all the statistics ac- cumulated during the game. Assistant JV foot- ball managers, freshmen Christie Conrod and Kathy Zeng, said, Besides keep- ing the basic equipment and uniforms, they helped out in case of an emergen- cy ” But the team itself was most important of all, as everybody knew; it was their ability to work with each other properly that was a key to success. As Coach Annis said, The team works together as a whole. They support each other.'' ■ Brian Eskin SCORE TO SETTLE While awaiting the next point, Stephanie Jlacoppo keeps score In a volleyball game against Calhoun.

Along with the amount of work and dedication they gave, there was something that transcended the rest, the legacy of an older sib- ling to follow through life. The pressure to live up to an ancient reputation was overwhelming. Tom Boccafola, junior, is des- tined to follow his brother Michael, began playing sports at the age of five. He took to his brother's inter- ests in soccer and base- ball, and they would con- structively criticize each other s performances. The coaches knew the Bocca- fola name, and they expec- ted Tom to live up to it, forcing him to try harder. We were always com- pared by our coaches, said Boccafola. Matt Wildes, sopho- more, had three brothers each of whom excelled in football. I was given indi- vidual attention by the coaches, but no favoritism was shown because of my brothers, said Wildes.

Senior Rick Gerhard, head defenseman, said, Our defense is definitely the team’s strong point. Without a good defense you have no game. An intense summer league program and an autumn in- door league contributed much to the improvement in the out- door season. Despite the major issue of money (each player had to pay for his equipment, ice-time and league costs) we still at- tracted many players. Overall, I think we had one of our most productive seasons, said Coach Fred Gerhard. ■ Jan Arangio Chris Gos- line Hockey 6-6-3 2- 2 Bethpage 5- 2 Bethpage 3- 4 Bethpagc 0- 2 Syosset 0-12 Syosset 8- 3 Plainedge 2- 0 Plainedge 8- 2 Plainedge 7- 5 Hicksville 2- 8 Hicksville 6- 6 Hicksville 1- 7 Massapequa 0- 6 Massapequa 4- 0 Long Beach 4 4 Friends Academy ICE HOCKEY Front Row; Joey Bellissimo, Donald Santa Maria.

But the team responded strongly to the now healthy coach. First place fin- isher, junior Chris Bottjer, led the grap- plers to a first place finish in the Hempstead Tourna- ment at the start of the season. The Dalers had big wins, including a victory over 11 th ranked Oceanside to place them closer to the top 10. It was a great team effort, commented junior Neil Cohen. Heavy- weight Mike Heller, junior, had his unbeaten season end with a loss to James Craham of Long Beach in the county fi- nals. But the team finished well, placing three wrest- lers in the counties. The JV team also had a successful season, fin- ishing 8-3. Coached by John Pa- payani, the team played an important part in the varsity's success. Several wrestlers joined the var- sity for spot performan- ces, including Mike Kotin and Pete Ruggiero. ■ Rob Ruggiero Vanity IV 10-3 8-3 37-12 Citey 0-18 13-43 Massapequa 42 5 41-24 Bethpagc 0 18 26-30 Berner 21-32 51 3 Plamedgc 9-15 34-25 0 eanside 15-13 � -12 Pt Wash 36 39 33-30 Rovlyn 12-28 34-21 Sytnset 24-27 43- 6 Micksville 0-21 4117 M.ncola 27-15 54 15 Carey 17-46 Baldwin Trying to be as good as a sibling, or better, caused tension. Christine Koz- lowski, junior, was a mem- ber of the track team and captain of the cross coun- try team. Her brother Qreg started running in elemen- tary school, and she fol- lowed once she entered ju- nior high school. Chris said. There were negative aspects; we would see more of each other and fight more, he would cor- rect me too much, and we would antagonize each other.'' Pressure to improve and compete with the history maker' also developed betweem Scott Arenholz and his brother Dan. Both played lacrosse and soc- cer. We have a little com- petition to see who can go further in life with a sport and who can get into a bet- ter college. That's going to be tough for me because Dan is going to Hobart. Their lacrosse team dom- inates the third division, and the school is one of the better academic schools, Scott explained. The decision was that advantages outweighed disadvantages. Everyone admitted the help given and received was needed. Mutual support and advice for the big games were nec- essary when the going got tough. Having an experienced person ready and willing to help was a confidence builder. Even though the relationships were some- times competitive, it was most helpful to have your older brother or sister there to cool your nerves and help improve your game. Tommy Gibbons, junior, felt this confidence and said, At a tough gymnastics meet, when I see my sister Barbara there watching me, I know I can do it. ■ Kathy Gillan SLAM IT IM Reaching for the net.

Perhaps it was not enough practice or effort. Or, it could have been a com- bination of these factors that led to slow starts of the fresh- man lacrosse and baseball teams. “During the season we started off slow ' said sophomore Paul Ramos, “but towards the end of the season, we came around and started playing as one unit. The team won its last three games to finish the season at 5-4. “Everyone played aggressively and hard- nosed, but most impor- tantly, as a team,” said sophomore Rob Kilroy. The freshman baseball team did not have as suc- cessful a sea- son, ending with a 3-9 re- cord. Sopho- more Larry Ortolani said, “It was a fun season, but with a little more effort we could have done better. “We had a good bunch of kids,” said sophomore Joe Bruno, “but if we had practiced harder and put our minds to it, we could have had a better sea- son.” I Brian Eskin Baseball Lacrosse 3-9 5-4 1-0 Bethpage 8-2 7-5 Bethpage 2-11 Woodland 3-4 0-12 Woodland 4-5 3-5 Division 6-2 2-3 Division 9-10 Berner •-7 Berner 6-9 Massapequa 5-4 10-2« Massapcqua 1-4 2-1« Hicksville 5-2 1-1« Hicksville Wantagh 1-3 Plainview 4-5 FRESHMEN BASEBAU Front Row: John Chauvm.

Playing on a team composed only of freshmen made ad- justing to high school sports easier, photo Noah Rosen- berg Freshman Sports H It was September 4th, the first day of school. You were ready to catch the bus, lunchbox and all. Be- fore slipping out the door, you thought, Will I be ac- cepted? Will I actually make the football team? Football I Oh no, you forgot your uniform! Dashing back upstairs to get it, you see the bus pulling away from the comer. You mis- sed it! The freshman plight was one of the most difficult obstacles to overcome. Freshmen weren't just condemned on the first day of school, but for the remainder of the year. Sports didn't make things any easier. It helps hav- ing an older brother in sports because he paves the way for you. Starting new would be really hard because you have to make a name for yourself and re- ally stand out, said fresh- man Doug Krause. Freshmen teams helped out a lot by allowing the younger athletes to play on beginner teams if they weren't able to make var- sity or JV. Although we weren't really accepted by the upperclassmen, it didn't bother us because we stayed together, said A.J. Gentile. There was always the ever-present issue of the jock bench. Were fresh- men allowed to sit there, or did they have to earn the privilege? The upper- classmen hung signs and posters reading Mo Freshmen Allowed the First few weeks - anything to keep freshmen out of their territory. We just like to tease them, like what we went through, said senior Jim Lomot. Peter Issacs, freshman, said, It doesn't bother us because we will be there next year. Whether or not fresh- men were accepted, they knew that they would soon be doing the same things. In the meantime, they suf- fered through their fresh- man plight as best they could. ■ Chris Gosline Danny Levine A MEEDED RETURM Between innings in a game against Bethpage, catcher Larry Ortolani warms up the pitcher.

The anticipation of making the team was building inside you as you approached the coach's desk. ‘You wanted to see me? you asked with ner- vous excitement. The coach looked up at you from behind his newspa- per and said, “I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to cut you from the team. Try again next year. You're a good player. These are the last words any athlete wants to hear. They mean that all the hours of practice, the sweat, and the pain were for little more than self-sat- isfaction. Being cut means that you weren't good enough to make the team, a fact most of us find hard to accept, nobody likes to fail, and these failures can be very hard to take. Coaches do not enjoy trimming down their ros- ters, but they understand why athletes get cut. Coach Carl Savalli said that athletes get cut “if they are uncooperative, not hardworking, and if they skip a lot of prac- tices. Part of the ordeal lead- ing to potentially getting cut was building up enough confidence to try out for a team.

But, the hard work pays off. The feeling experi- enced after making a team is completely opposite that felt after being cut. Freshman Donald Hard- wick said, “When I made the gymnastics team, I felt great. It increased my con- fidence and gave me an up- lift, but I knew that I would still have to work hard. ■ Michael Koopman TWIST or FATE Caught in an interesting po- sition, two hopefuls for the wrestling team practice their techniques.

Football rosters were large but cuts were made when necessary, photo rioah Rosenberg Competing in any sport was a difficult and time consuming task. Freshman sports were especially hard. The op- posing teams were not the problem; the lack of expe- rience per- forming to- gether as a team was. The seasons were often tedious and tiring for the athletes. Two such laborious sports were boys' football and soccer. The football team, coa- ched by Ed Balboni and Frank Macchio, finished their season with a record of 2-3-1. Practice was held everyday at Howitt Junior High. There was limited fan support from fellow students, a condi- tion similar to that of the soccer team. An- thony Meley said, “The season was a workout. We had to play our best against all the teams. The soccer team put up an equally strong front. They ended with a record of 0-7-1. Coach Bruce Tet- Ielman proved to be un- yielding, which surprised some of the team mem- bers. Practice was so strenuous that we were dead at games, explain- ed Chris Plake. ■ Kathy Gillan Soccer Football 0-7-1 2-3-1 0-2 Hicksville 14-8 0-4 Woodland 6-6 0-S Massapcqua 33-14 1-2 Island Trees 0-2 Hicksville 0-7 Woodland 0-0 Massapequa 1-3 Island Trees Division 0-24 Mac Arthur 0-1 Hempstead 34-6 FRESHMAN FOOTBALL Front Row Chfis Enkson, Dennis O’Brien, Brian Stapleton.

Unity and friendship were essential for a good team. Besides the playing field, where both these charac- teristics originated, there was the locker room. It brought teammates to- gether, and it served as an escape from the ordinary schoolday. Getting mentally and physically ready for a game or even a practice re- quired the proper atmo- sphere. Players found that the locker room was the best place to do it. It was where all the jitters could be put behind. Before la- crosse games I usually sit around and think about winning while the radio is blasting ' said senior Kev- in Boyle. In the locker room one could forget all outside in- terference. Concentration MUD BOWL After a victorious game against Uniondale, 17-7, An- drew Arcuri removes his muddy uniform. The locker room always helped me get psyched for the games; that's one of the reasons why the home team has the advantage. said Arcuri. photo rtoah Rosenberg was more effective with the elimination of outside dis- tractions. Before a game, coaches used the locker room to prepare the players for the game. Meet- ings of this kind usually re- sulted in a team with re- newed enthusiasm. The famous walk back to the locker room was long at times and short at others. A win meant a quick walk; while a loss meant a hike back that took a lifetime. It became a palace for kings or a ref- uge for failures. After our grueling 7-6 loss to Long Beach, the locker room seemed miles away ' said senior Andrew Vaughan. It served as a place to really analyze the game and sort out emotions. Players were forced to put it all be- hind and to prepare for the next challenge. The atmosphere in the locker room and in the bus during away games was very similar. It's the wai- ting period that I hate the most; I'm just dying to play ' said Matt Hayden, senior. It was easy to lose control, so teammates talked and kept each other mentally prepared. To anyone else, the lock- er room might have been a place to change for gym class from one outfit to an- other, but to the players it meant much more. It was where team spirit began, pep-talks were given, and players changed from one frame of mind to another.

The locker room always seemed miles away after losing a tough game, photo Moah Rosen- berg Being on freshman teams was always an ex- perience that team mem- bers would never forget. The tough practices, new systems and plays, and unfamil- iarity with high school sports were all a chal- lenge. More often than not the team would end up on the los- ing end of the season. But when a team has a very successful or spectacular season, the year gets a new meaning. The Freshman Boys' Basketball team had such a season. The team got off to an outstanding start with a 42 point victory over Island Trees and a 75-39 rout of Packard. They were winners of their first five games going into the midpoint of the season. But the team suf- fered a heart-breaking last second 49-48 loss to Wantagh on home court. That was a tough loss, but they showed char- acter and bounced right back, said Coach Bob Hartranft. The boys went on to win their remaining five games with a defense that prevented opponents from scoring over 31 points in a game. The team completed a dominating season with the best record among Freshmen teams in their division. This was a great year for them and should be an incredible learn- ing experience, said Hartranft. ■ Michael Koopman l 28 25 Basketball 10-1 Mind Tree 41-19 Ivljnd Tree 55-36 Htckivillc 39-28 WoodUnd 75-39 Pickard 48-49 VVjntjgh 66-27 M Arthur 35-26 Syo tet 44 29 Diviuon 45-22 Matwpcquj 55-31 Bcthpjgc mmmmmm ini trength.

Sixth grade was fun. School was your life, you looked up to your teachers and life was simple. But you craved more, and passing by the 'big kids'' school, you wondered what it was as to be in high school. Would it be as it was portrayed in the movies? When you did enter high school you were met with confusion; suddenly your life was more complicated and your world became larger and less sheltered. Through your underclass years, you still wanted more. Then it hap- pened, you were finally a senior. Well maybe it didn't quite happen like that, but eventually it did happen. When you became a senior, you con- tracted a severe case of senioritis. That's when seniors get big-headed and walk around thinking they own the school and everyone should bow down to them,'' said Andrea Ragone. Matthew Hayden said, It's when you're itching to get out because you know it's your last year of high school, but you realize you have to go out into the real world. Before entering into the real world, col- lege would become a buffer. How I have to worry about getting into college, and I've got my parents bothering me about applications, said Pat Bocarde. Jon-Paul Fortunato said, I think the whole senior year is overrated. You have to work hard and it's not as easy as I thought it would be. Some students didn't care about grades, just about having a good time. You think that just because you're a se- the best FOR LAST nioryou don't have to do any homework, said Diahann McLoughlin. Lisa Bradley looked forward to all the activities she would participate in and said, The best parts of being a senior are attending the banquet, being in the talent show, and go- ing on the trip. There were other advan- tages. You can drive and are allowed to park in the parking lot, said Sandy Grossi. What about students who didn't drive? If you're a senior you can sit in the back of the bus, said Steve Oemcke. There were some who thought of their senior years as a last step. Pat McGuirk said, ”1 feel great about being a senior be- cause 1 can't wait to graduate and move on to bigger and better places and things. Seniors also had fewer classes than their underclass friends did. I like being a senior because there's a shorter day, fewer classes and I have early dismissal, said Patty Tallarine. The ultimate compliment to being a se- nior was given by Mr. Mike LoMonico, En- glish teacher, who remarked, Seniors? I love them. They're almost people. ■ Ju- lie Sisto SAMMIES ALLOWED Proud car owner, Vincent Cassano shows off his new Van halen poster (with new lead singer Sammy Ha- gar).

One aspect of being a senior was newly found respect from underclass- men. There were certain codes of conduct which have previously gone unwritten, until now. They have been passed down by word of mouth from generation to generation of seniors and have come to be known as the Ten Senior Commandments: I - Never make eye contact with a Se- nior; he will acknowledge you first if he so wishes. II - Never talk to a Senior; he will initi- ate the conversation (underclassmen never have anything important to say anyway.)

V - A friendship with a Senior is both an honor and a privilege; if you abuse this privilege you will lose it. (Seniors don’t have underclass friends; they have underclass associations which are to their benefit.) VI - Always let a Senior pass you in the hallway; he has important things to do, underclassmen do not. VII • If you spot a Senior outside of school do not acknowledge that you know him; Seniors have lives, under- classmen do not. VIII - Do not bother a Senior with your problems; your problems are petty and not worthy of his time. IX - A Senior is unique. Do not at- tempt to copy in any way, shape or form his style, dress or manner. X - Contrary to popular notion, a Se- nior was never, could never, and will never be, an underclassman. JOSEPH T.

A: I had no brakes on my car so I had to coast through stop signs. - Michael Zaiff When your car decided to stall on you in the middle of Woodward Park- way at 7:55 - you knew you had a problem. No matter how many times you said please, kicked the tires, or muttered some choice words, that hunk of metal re- fused to budge. Car trouble wasn't the highlight of senior year, but it provided for some compro- mising positions. The most common problem faced by senior car owners was the flat tire. Whether it happened around the cor- ner or in another state, a flat tire was always a real bother. I got a flat tire while I was upstate. I had to change a tire all the way upstate!'' said Domi- nick Bello. There were times when a car was more of a problem than it was a help. My transmission would go and every morning 1 would have to add transmission fluid. It made me late ev- ery time,'' said Vinnie Russo. plague. But when unexpected expen- ses arose, they had to be managed. Money spent on maintenance aver- aged $800 a year. Insurance was also a problem with premiums amounting to over $800 a year. When the transmission acted up and the muffler made more noise than the radio, a car sometimes seemed like it was more trouble than it was worth. ■ Assunta Gaglione • Frank Fusco UP IN SMOKE problem seniors found with their cars was start- In her 1980 Ford Mustang, Kelley Ryan stalls on jn9 them In the early morning hours, photo Ml- Qrant Street on her way to school.

As a teen- ager, it was difficult not to be exposed to alcohol. Legislators at- tempted to curtail underage drinking by raising the drink- ing age to 21. In response to the new law, students turned to using fake identification to obtain alcohol. Your ID card works great. You bring a birth certificate of a 21 year old, get your picture on it with his age, height and weight, and then you're all set ' said Kevin Daniels. Take ID was also used to get into bars and dance clubs. Patrick Brady, a busboy at the Pawnbroker, said, Most people here are legal, but a few get in who aren't. Other than getting into bars, anoth- er use for fake ID was to purchase beer. A recent survey concluded that of the total amount of underage drink- ing, 55% came from bars and 29% from merchandising stores such as 7- 11. Alcohol was readily available to any- one who wanted it. Using false identifi- cation to get into clubs was a daring alternative to buying beer and partying at a friend's house. ■ Adam Berkow- itz • Assunta Gaglione PROOP POSITIVE At Conrads, Tom Keane and Jeff Qorddard show the bouncer their fake proof.

Dedication, hard work, talent, the same: to be known and respected and showmanship were needed to succeed. Success also took time. Vinny Russo, of the band Strutter, said, Our band gets together three times a week, and usu- ally plays for at least two hours.'' Bands needed a place to practice, and it usually turned out to be the drum- mer's house. When getting together, groups copied songs and also worked on originals. Bands war- med-up with blues music, which added to their song diversity. Getting a chance to play in clubs for an audience made all the hours of practice seem worthwhile. Craig Ma- nelli of BlackStarrsaid, We've played at Stage, USA, and at the Battle of the Bands.'' Exposure was important for all bands - through flyers and publicity photos.

I want to be recognized as myself, said Chris- tine Wyrtzen. People who weren't ste- reotyped were considered in limbo, and thought them- selves to be normal; al- though if one asked some- one else about them, they would size them up and put a label on them. It was even possible to be stereotyped in more than one group at a time, which only complicat- ed the situation more for stu- dents who preferred not to be prejudged in the first place. Was stereotyping wrong? Ster- eotypes serve a function because they- 're summaries, but if they become so rigid, then they're very negative. If ov- erused they can become a problem, said Dr. Bill Sperduto, school psycho- logist. It did seem that it was often eas- ier for people to recognize a type of person than to get to know him. Some people might call me a goody- goody, even though I'm not, because of my grades and the way I dress, said Joe Abate. Michelle Melfi added, I'm just a normal person who dresses the way I want to. I am an individual. I'm not in a clique with a leader. Even though most people agreed that stereotyping was harmful, they admitted to doing it themselves. “It's a fact of life.

The sender: Colorado Uni- versity, the first of thousands of college letters that you are fated to receive. Choosing a college was a very difficult and important decision that seniors who wished to continue their education were forced to make. Applications, es- says and financial aid; it's all part of the tedious process of a gettinq into college. One factor that all college bound students had to deal with was whether or not to go away to school or to apply locally. I am not allowed to attend school out of state because my par- ents do not feel that I am responsible. I feel that I am mature enough to go away to any college that will acccept me. I shouldn't be limited to only local schools, said Anita Savello. College...perhaps the most difficult choice in your life to date. With all the paperwork it was hard to keep your head straight. But somehow you man- aged to put it all into perspective and found that it was worth it. ■ Debbie Gecewicz I'M ALL EARS At an annual college fair.

Life was boring. But, to become an exchange student. ..? To go to a foreign country and live with strangers who don't speak English...? Would that be an overly drastic way to avoid the pressures of my junior year and add spice to my life? All I can say is that the experience was worth the hardships. Just before Christmas I moved in with the Karlolas. It was a lot of fun being with such a large family particu- larly at Christmas time. There, Santa Claus comes to the house and person- ally delivers gifts. He sits and talks with the children and sings songs with the family. In March I moved in with the Paate- lainen's. During my stay with them, 1 went to Leningrad, Russia and Stock- holm, Sweden on trips with the Rotary exchange students. Among all the tourist-type things I did, I traded items on the black market and had a toga party in the hotel! However, the most important aspect of my year was everyday life, at school, with friends and with my host families. Besides learning independence, I learned to live with people and appre- ciate their cultures. The experience was one of the best anyone could hope to have. ■ Barbara Gelish Q: Did you have any difficulty commu- nicating with your first Finnish family?

Both managed to get involved in a wide variety of activities without skimping on their academics, and along the way they gained respect from their teachers and peers. Richard Owens truly suc- ceeded in doing it all. His re- sponsibilities as Vice-Presi- dent of the class for four years were extensive. Yet equally important to Rich were his aca- demics. His class rank of three was a major accomplishment. At the same time, afternoons were split between homework and sporting activities which resulted in six varsity letters. What I'd like to be remembered for is asking questions, giving input, and doing my best. Karen Braunsdorf is a true Renais- sance woman. Her interests ranged from sports - soccer captain (All Con- ference), softball captain (All County) to music - All County flutist, NYSSMA A+ four-time medalist - to CPR and lifesaving techniques in her job as a li- feguard during summers. Tm a very ambitious person. I don't give up on something until I get it done.

A: I thought it was a good experience because I was helping others. Even though I fainted, 1 will continue to give blood. - Karen Braunsdorf What do they want from me, blood? As a student, one had to give sweat and tears to succeed in school. Now they wanted blood. The annual school blood drive was conducted by the National Honor Soci- ety in conjunction with the Long Island Blood Services. Eighty people volunteered and 63 pints were drawn. There was a detailed pro- cedure that each volunteer had to go through before donating. One had to be at least 17 years old and over 110 pounds to give blood. They turned me away because I had an eye infection, said Krisztina de Szalay. To make sure the blood was transfusible the hospital tested for AIDS, syphilis, hepatitis and malaria. Before actually giving blood, volun- teers had to have a mini-medical. It consisted of taking the person's tern- number of questions to finalize one's eligibility to donate. It didn't hurt at all, said a surprised Phil Mekelburg. The general reactions to donating blood were favorable. Caterina Bor- zomi said, For some reason I feel good about myself. Charlie Poakeart added, I was glad to do something for my community. ■ Adam Berkowftz • Joseph Abate GIVE TILL IT HURTS Bandaging up the vein in Joseph Abate s arm. the nurse puts antiseptic on the punctured wound.

Tom instantly recognized the voice of his friend Mike and answered, nothin' much. I'm Just doing my term paper. Term paper? Already? It 's not due until Monday, said Mike. Yeah, well, what's up? Why did you call? Tom asked. There's a party at Tracy's house, and I'm takin' Merry. Merry's friend Christine needs a date. Why don't you come along? It'll be a blast. Well, I don't know Mike. I really have to start my paper because if I... Tom started to explain before Mike interrupted, Come on Tom, you can do it tomorrow. Freeze. Stop everything. Tom is faced with a dilemma all high school students someday are faced with. What will Tom do? Should he stay home and write his term paper and have the satisfaction of knowing it's finished, or should he go to the party, have a good time but possibly run the risk of not finishing it and failing English? What would you do? Choices. Decisions. Each one makes a difference. If given the opportunity to change the last four years of high school, would you make the same decisions? What would you change, if anything? I think I would have tried to get better grades, so I could go to a great college. I also wish I had gotten more involved in school activities,'' said Allison Moran. John Studdert agreed, I'd study more. I haven't picked up a book since ninth grade, and my grades show it. ). .One More. Tima of a lot of opportunities I missed out on.

Tina Merantzinis felt the same way. I didn't go out enough; I studied too much. I was a goody-goody. Then, of course, there are those who are resistant to change. Mike Enus was one. I wouldn t really want to change anything at all because I've had four pretty good years here with all my friends. They're all nuts. Roll. Start the action. Okay, I've got an idea. It'll probably take me about an hour or two to finish this. I 'II come to the party then. Besides, a party doesn't really get started until about 11:00, Tom said.

You just have to make the right choices. ■ Julie Sisto Q: If you had the chance to redo the last four years of high school, what would you do dif- ferently?

It is never too early to start thinking about col- lege,” was an often repeated reminder. 11th grade guidance coun- selor, Helene Cooke, had a very important message for juniors, Get down to see your counselor for an inter- view and start visiting schools.” Counselors gave students college catalogs and general activity sheets. We look at the positive aspects of the students and their credentials. We also speak about possible career in- terests and expectations of the stu- dent, said Miss Cooke. Choosing the right school was im- portant to juniors, but Jim Sundae said, I don't really care about a par- ticular school, but I have my expec- tations.” Cathy Lorig said, I have always a problem. Knowing what one wants to do before getting out of high school was a big help. Deciding on a col- lege was always the biggest problem for juniors whose mail boxes were always full of college advertisements.

Billy and Chris were among the six still living in the Erickson home; seven others were married, one was engaged and one was in college. I am never alone. There is always someone to talk to,” said Billy, We have a full house on the holidays even with just the immediate family.” Of course there is always more work to be done, with double the loads of wash and dishes, but I really don't mind,” said Chris. Billy continued, Whenever I buy some clothes for my- self, I'll wear them once, throw them in the wash, and see them again three weeks later. Everyone shares every- thing.” There is only one bad thing about having such a large family, and that is not being able to take long vaca- tions with everyone.

When they became established, they looked back in re- lief remembering the good NEW DAYS OF HIGH SCHOOL The halls were packed with bewil- dered freshmen bumping into each other trying to get to their classes. Some never got to class on time. Stu- dents walked into class ten minutes late and expected to be yelled at by their teachers, but they didn't re- alize that teachers could sympathize with them; these were the teachers' first days also. 1 was nervous and excit- ed, the way anyone would be when starting a newjob, said Mr. James Lawler, one of the new technology and human relations teachers. It's a large school, and it's very hard to get around. Meeting new faculty and students made me feel like the new kid on the block! It felt as if I were on stage by myself and the spot- light was on me. With all of the long hallways and so many rooms, the size of the school be- came a factor to overcome for first time faculty members. It was exciting to be able to work in a new school. People were always willing to lend me a hand if I couldn't find the room I was looking for, said Susan Jacobsen, a new member of the mathematics de- partment. After a while, though, the Q: What were your feelings when you entered FHS? A: It felt like I was on stage and the spotlight was on me! - James Lawler, technology teacher school didn't seem as big as it looked in September,'' she continued. Besides adjusting to the size of the school, new teachers were also faced with rules and regulations, which seemed almost foreign to them. Hall duty and writing and accepting passes were just jobs that they had to grow ac- customed to. With all of these new rules, who would have ever thought they would make it? So, before accusing teachers of a lack of understanding, bite your tongue! Think! They too have had a first day with problems similar to those of pupils. Teachers are people too! ■ Shawna Chevalier OVERCOMING SHYNESS Miss Monique Calabro, the school's newest sci- ence teacher, who also worked as a student teacher for two years, shows her stuff for the yearbook photographer. Posing for yearbook photos is an annual event that new teachers must grow accustomed to. photo G dr B New Teachers S £il Different teachers have different meth- ods. But despite these differences by any name AN “A”S THE SAME 89! C'mon! Give me a break! Why can't you give me one more point?'' cried sophomore Ray Boyce. Yeah, a 90 looks better than an 89!'' said soph- omore Mike Kaufman. Each high school teacher has a different grading sys- tem from his colleagues, al- though all of them evaluate the student carefully. Some use a grading curve, extra credit, and class participa- tion in the process of com- puting grades. We have a factor we call the Humanities Zone ' said Mr. Michael Lomonico, Humanities 12 teacher. Students can earn brownie points' to raise their grades. There are a few who give a straight grade compiled from test averages. I compute a straight average, but if a student is showing participation, I will give one or two extra points on the marking quarter, said Susan Alter- man, math teacher. A few teachers in the school grade according to the students' course lev- el, G, R, or HR. Miss Josephine Selitte, math teacher, does not grade differ- ently depending on the level of stu- dents. If anything, I am a little har- sher on my HR kids. I expect more from them. I definitely do not boost grades in the lower classes.'' Miss Sel- itte does include class participation in compiling the averages. She averages all grades so that they end in either a zero or a five. For example, if a student has an average 83, and participates, his average can become an 85. So it doesn't matter exactly how Q: Do you curve grades or use a straight average? A: A straight average is the fairest way to determine a student’s perform- ance. - Arthur Gryzlo, chemistry teach- er teachers grade their students' work. Each has a different method; yet in the end, it's what mom sees on the report card that counts. ■ Keith Bowles HERE IT COMES Examinations arc common in humanities 11 class.

Here we have a hypothetical father, who is very con- cerned with his less-than-caring son. It is the first day of school for both of them, and they are both going to the same school. You got it, the father is a teacher in the school his son at- tends. Starting high school is a task in it- self, and there is nothing a student needs less than to listen to heartless remarks from peers about dear ol' dad. Such remarks as, ‘Maybe your dad can fix that up for you,'' or I saw your dad with the dean. Did he get you off the hook again? can really hurt. David Lamdan, senior and son of read- ing chairman, Eileen Lamdan, explain- ed, “I don't really get any special privi- leges as some people think. I can't help it if I'm well-known here. There is another issue at hand, the parent-teacher's situation. It is not only the child who can have problems but also the parent who might have difficulties of his own. “Sometimes I get comments on my kids' progress. I have to be as impartial as possible, said Louis Ruggiero, business teach- er. Despite its disadvantages, there are advantages to having your parent teach in your school. Math teacher Q: What are the advantages of having your kids in this school? A: I can see their problems and pro- gress, but they think I spy on them. - Edgar Glascott, Guidance Counselor Robert Andersen's son, Eric Andersen, freshman, said, “It keeps me on my toes. In most cases the individual strives to do better. Eric said, I am ex- pected to do perfect work by my teach- ers. Financially, having a parent to fall back on is a plus. There's always someone to run to if you need money for lunch or a candy bar. Junior David Ulric explained, When I need money during school, I know just where to 90. “My kids chose to attend this school instead of a private school, Edgar Qlascott, Guidance Counselor, ex- plained. Although they think that teachers tell me about their progress more quickly this way, they love the school and that makes me happy. Another positive aspect was that parents and their children can have closer re- lationships. It's much easier to keep up with what's going on in each others' lives when you're together all day. Ken- neth Ulric said, If David's got a prob- lem with a course, I know how to get in touch with his teacher and straight- en it out. There were pros and cons to the sit- uation but teachers and their children both agreed it was more benificial than not. If all else failed, it was com- forting to know that you could walk up to a teacher in the hall and say, Hey, dad. I have a problem. ■ Margaret Mazlin GIVING SOME INPUT Always giving advice, Robert Andersen lends a hand to his computer class.

Teachers are professionals whose job is to give their pupils a good educa- tion. But, sometimes students and teachers get along so well that friendships grow and carry into col- lege. Language teacher, Arthur Arrieri, said, 'Many students send cards and notes to let me know how they are do- ing.'' He also commented, Teachers shouldn't expect to receive a gift or a card for any occasion from students because it is important to keep a pro- fessional relationship with them. Teachers like Mr. Anthony Settedu- cati, English teacher, feel differently. Why should a professional relation- ship with a student differ from a friend- ly relationship?'' he asked. Students come and visit me after they graduate, and it's nice to have a good relation- ship with them.'' Apparently, Mr. Thomas Duncan shares the feeling that teachers and students can be good friends and keep a professional relationship. Each year the Humanities 11 class celebrates his birthday with an event which is aptly named Duncan Day Every year someone else pulls this stu- pid stunt! said Mr. Duncan. Seniors David Lamdan and Michael Palleschi honored their teacher by presenting him with gifts that characterized him perfect- ly, according to David. A sil- ver wig to cover his receed- ing hairline and a pair of non- matching argyle socks made a fine ad- dition to his wardrobe. ■ Eve Eskin Q: What do former students write to you about?

Since no one could do ev- erything, there was a separation of PRINCIPAL POWERS She took a last puff from the ciga- rette in her hand that had slowly burned down to a small butt. She then extinguished it against the side of the nearest ashtray and watched the gray smoke curl up into the air and finally disappear. She took a glance at the white clock on the wall. The big hand pointed to the three and the small hand rested just past the five. It was the end of the first marking peri- od, grade reporting time; and Mrs. Alice Stratigos, data entry secretary for As- sistant Principal Bob McKean, didn't think twice about putting in the extra time to get the report cards done on time. A good working relationship among Principal Dr. Steven Kussin, the three assistant principals, and their support personnel was essential for running the school efficiently. Mrs. Stratigos and Mr. McKean have a mutual under- standing. He's very good about lis- tening to the problems I have. If I say there's something wrong and we agree on what needs to be done, he says. It sounds good,' and we do it. He's very understanding about that.” Responsibilities were distributed among the three AP's. Mr. McKean handled attendance, grading, PTA, and the ninth and tenth grade. Mr. Ar- thur Sumbler's main responsibilities included building operations. Special Ed., security, and grade 10. Mr. Clifford Mackin took care of exams, transpor- tation, graduation, and the senior class. With all the heartaches the rewards were plenty. Mr. Mackin agreed, When you're able to do something for a student you get satisfaction at knowing you helped redirect them. It's quite rewarding.” ■ Marc Eiseman Q: What is the most frustrating part of your job? A: When there’s no way to solve a stu- dent’s problem.

Now we only had to deal with mandatory meetings, fund raisers, publicity, performances, and dead- lines. We couldn't win. Who could resist? Old clubs such as VLC and the Daler Press valued and upheld their traditions. New clubs like the Service Society created theirs. And after four months of preparation, the first Student Court trial was held and the defendant was acquitted of the charge.

Volunteers gave up the first warm Saturday of the year to raise money at the premiere dance mar- athon. The Honor Society was one group that among other functions took part in the Dance Marathon to support St. Jude's Children Re- search hospital, dedicated to chil- dren's cancer research. At the Spe- cial Olympics members escorted handicap people to various events and offered encouragement throughout the day. Gerilyn Smith, senior, said. The Special Olympics made you realize that you're very fortunate. Five days a week, eight periods a day, an Honor Society member could be found in the library ready to offer some academic assistance to any student who asked. To present a close look at smok- ing among young people. Interact conducted a Smoke Out survey of science students in all grades. Re- sults were sent to the American Cancer Society and to health teachers to be used as teaching tools for their smoking unit. This year is different because we are try- ing to get more members to orga- nize more functions such as the smoking survey, said junior Au- drey Kent, But we do get a lot of things accomplished in the little time that we have. Associated with the local Kiwan- is Club, the Key Club was one group that was able to aid the com- munity as well as the school. On election night members reported the current results of the poll to the local Cablevision station. At holiday time, six baskets were pre- pared and sent to families in the area. Dressing up in costumes, serving food, and passing out gifts, the Key Club assisted in the Head- start holiday party for preschool children.

Ellen Bongo photo Michael Alfieri Community Reach Out The feeling you had when you presented a Thanksgiving turkey to that needy family was one you never forgot. The day you helped a disabled person cross the finish line gave you a sense of accom- plishment. You felt that you saved a person's life when you handed out Don't Drive Drunk'' bumper stickers. The Varsity Leaders Club, Girls Leaders Club and Students Against Drunk Driving were among the groups that dedicated them- selves to serving their community. They donated their time and ener- gy to the causes that they felt were important. SADD was an organization de- voted to getting their message against drunk driving across to the school and community. Always visible to the students, a giant sign hung in the commons which served as a constant reminder not to drink and drive. Even if SADD makes one person make the choice not to drink and drive, club membership is worth it,'' said Tara McGowan, senior. During the homecoming football game, members passed out combs, green and white bumper stickers, and pamphlets which displayed the important message. I think that it's important that students take a stand against drunk driv- ing,'' said junior Jennifer Roberts. SADD is a good organization be- cause it doesn't protest against kids' drinking, but it makes them think about the risk of driving af- terwards,'' Jennifer explained. The Varsity Leaders Club raised money by selling their popular pretzels during the morning hours. The money raised went to various charities and to the cham- pionship team banners in the gym. There were beneficial side effects to belonging to VLC. Stan Krause, senior, said, I have become more of a leader and have taken a great- er role in my community, such as participating in the Special Olym- pics.'' The Girls Leaders Club also did their part in aiding and improving the community. They gave up a part of themselves to add a little cheer to five families around the holiday time by raising money and donating food. I joined GLC be- cause 1 wanted to help people by raising money for poor families and to have fun at the same time, said senior Karen Braunsdorf. There was always a way to help improve the community. SADD, VLC, and GLC were there just to guide people along the way. ■ Mi- chael Marmo % Eve Eskin With over 14 Thanks- giving baskets deliv- ered, it showed someone really cared TAKE A TICKET At Christmas time Maria Mom places SADD literature on cars in the student parking lot.

It was a position of re- sponsibility, and it took much time and effort; but it was well worth the trouble. These hard working peo- ple were the class officers that were taken for granted. Each grade had its goal to reach. The higher the grade the more prominent the goals were. The goals primarily involved raising money to help pay for the activities they organized. The freshman class got off to a good start by selling candy bars. Mow our class has enough money to put towards whatever we want, said freshman Chris Ow- ens. But fund raisers were not their only projects. The sophomore class helped set up the Homecom- ing Dance. The secretary. Matt Wildes, said, The dance proves to us how important team work really is. The juniors had a difficult time because of the prom. It's hard work even though we sold candy at every school event,'' saidjunior, Edgar Qlascott. Senior class presi- dent Casey Cook said, It's not as hard as 11th grade, but it's more fun because of the senior talent show. With footballs and other pep material, the senior officers still had their work cut out for them. The Student Activities Council was another group of dedicated people who tried to create a posi- tive effect on the school. Known for their morning announcements, SAC members ran through the list of club meetings and other rele- vant information. One event de- manding many hours of work, was the coordination of the Homecom- ing Dance. Members decorated the Commons and conducted spir- ited events throughout the excit- ing week.

Slowly the room came to order as its oc- cupants settled into their seats. Tor the next hour the group spoke only in Trench and discussed Trench culture. The next hour was difficult, but rewarding. The Trench Club and German Club shared the similar objectives of expanding students' interests in language and culture beyond what was taught in the classroom. The Trench Club, for example, orga- nized trips and conducted petite dejeuners, or small lunches, where members shared basic Trench foods with one another. Eugene Nickola, freshman, said, “All the activities planned seemed most successful in teaching me more than I already knew about Trench culture and language. Trench Club expanded its hor- izons by creating a Trench newspa- per which contained cultural infor- mation in modem Trench. “We want to leam how to improve our Trench vocabulary and increase our knowledge of Trench culture. But at the same time, having fun is the most important thing, said adviser. Vita Wayne. The German Club took part in events which helped explain the German language and culture. Se- nior, Michele Merritt, said, “We have done more this year than in the past such as planning to in- crease our membership. The group traveled to Heidi's Kondito- rie where they had the chance to sample German pastries and ex- amine recipes unknown to them. After they returned, the club creat- ed a similar situation where inter- ested members concocted Ger- man baked goods such as hazel nut, bee sting and apple cakes. “This oppportunity gave me a chance to experiment with Ger- man foods by making them on my own, said Scott Carlson, junior. The Intercultural Club dealt with culture in a slightly different way. The major goal of this organiza- tion was to design and produce the popular fashion show in Tebruary. Members started to work on the show at the end of October by visit- ing shops in the Sunrise Mall from which clothes were borrowed for use in the production. Props were constructed and arrangements were made right up until the last minute before the one night show. “It's such a fulfilling feeling on the night of the show when all of your frustrations are relieved, and you see the finished product come alive, commented Lisa Young, senior. Once the show was over, the club returned the clothing and dreamt up new ideas for the next year's production. Interesting activities and assort- ed trips continued to lure students into these language-culture clubs. Maybe that hour of Trench really wasn't that bad after all. ■ Michael Marmo • Tracy Simon GERMAN CLUB Front Row: Eric Piasta Back Row: Scott Carlson, Allison Mar •ano photo Noah Rosenberg FRENCH CLUB Front Row: Bari Sue Kenyon, Diahann Mcloughlm, Maureen Graf, Patricia McKenna Second Row: Vita Wayne -adviser, Tracy Simon -president.

Or perhaps you Just wanted to make new friends or to try some- thing that you never dreamed of doing. With over 40 clubs to choose from, there was definitely something right for you. The idea of having a student-op- erated court was concocted by in- terested students in the spring. Once it was approved by the ad- ministration and money was do- nated by the school, a class room was designed as the student court- room. Our first case was between a student and a teacher, so it set the precedent for future cases that we would handle ' said senior Kevin Wolf. In the beginning, we really didn't know what the reac- tion of the school would be. Since its arrival, in the beginning of the winter, the organization worked actively in recruiting new mem- bers to take on service jobs and gain valuable knowledge at the same time. The purpose of the court was to guarantee student justice and ease the administra- tion of minor disciplinary func- tions. A six member jury was ran- domly chosen from students that were free seventh and eighth pe- riods, the times at which the trials were held. The court members also took part in the mock trials which were sponsored by Mew York and Mary- land. Vincent Lyons, coach of the team, said, We really have a good group with more interested people than in the past. Judged on their legal procedure and conduct, the team earned a total of 65 points out of a possible 75 at the first mock trial. Informing the school of current political events. Common Sense held an open forum where two members of the Nassau County Police Department discussed the rights of accused persons. With the increase of the drinking age to 21, students posed questions about the use of alcohol and the law. There was really so much to say that I wanted the forum to go on longer, said senior Carl Can- gelosi. This topic really interest- ed the students. Service Society was the latest addition to the clubs that existed. Its members had the opportunity to leam office skills through on- the-job training while earning school service credit at the same time. Richard Lolo, sophomore, said, I do it because I serve the school, get credit, and leam office skills at the same time. Members spent their free periods working in the attendance, guidance, and main offices. Whether representing the de- fense in a mock trial or learning valuable office skills, there was al- ways a club available that you could call your own. All you had to do was find a ride home. ■ Mi- chael Marmo Student Court and Service Soci- ety made the dreams of some be- come reali- ties SERVICE SOCIETY COMMON SENSE Front Row: Tracy Neigerborn, Phyllis Cohen -adviser, Debbie Front Row Dan Macan.

How else did that spotless lab equipment turn up for your ex- periments? Assisting the science teachers. Lab Squad prepared cleaned glas- sware, weight materials, and on occasion, repaired broken lab equipment. Unlike other clubs. Lab Squad worked before school and during free periods. Matthew Rand, junior, stated, It's really a fascinating experience to help teachers and leam more about sci- ence labs at the same time. I am interested in science, so I really don't mind helping teachers who need help during the day, said Brian Cheshire, freshman. More people joined the Lab Squad, giv- ing the group greater flexibility in scheduling members for certain periods. Getting a chance to get away for a weekend and enjoy the cool breeze while traveling down a snow covered slope was the goal You of the Ski Club. The students de- cided on the number of trips that would be taken and their length. As an incentive any member who brought 10 new people into the club got a free trip. Roseanne O'Brian, senior, said, I joined the Ski Club because 1 wanted to leam how to ski. How I feel I accom- plished something that I thought before I never could do. Continuing in its second year, the Guitar Club opened its doors to interested students. Meeting once a week, they practiced by sharing personal knowledge with one another. Jennifer Curriera, sophomore, said, I wanted to meet others who have the same in- terest, so I could leam more about my instrument. Occasionally, the group had the opportunity to take instruction from a guest teacher. Finding a club to suit their enjoy- ment was the only task needed for guaranteed excitement except for those days when everyone was meeting at once. ■ Michael Marmo MAKIHG MUSIC Guitar Club allows Craig Mannelli the op- portunity to share his knowledge with others during their informal rehearsals.

It was Friday. You could've sworn that you set the alarm for six o'clock. This time you really blew it. You jumped into your clothes, grabbed the two boxes of Dunkin' Donuts that Mom (bless her heart) left on the kitchen table, and scrambled off to school in record-breaking time, all the while wondering if it would be Mr. Schwinn or Marc who would yell at you this time. Ah, the 7:15 editors' meeting— that pleasant weekly event that provided ample opportunity for ar- gument, criticism, and comment directed toward the Mi-Life editors. We weren't crazy enough to show up at the office at that Godforsak- en hour to discuss missed dead- lines and copy problems, were we? It seemed our own theme Fit us to a T. Or should 1 say a C. Yes, it often appeared to be a catch 22. Either you had an aca- demic life, a social life, any life, or you had Mi-Life. And it was the nine times out of ten that you chose the latter that kept us going. Sure, the pros far outweighed the cons, but after coming off the highly suc- cessful 1986 book, which accumu- lated a seventh consecutive ES- SPA top yearbook award, a CSPA Gold Crown award, and an NSPA Pacemaker, even the most opti- mistic were doubtful that we could top the revered Anderson and her Wild yearbook.

Now, don't get me wrong. We had our share of 'internal prob- lems,” but we also didn't forget how to have a good time. Whether it was dressing in drag for Ken's Halloween bash, making ritualistic drives to Mount Misery and the devil worshipper's house, the Have a Pissa!'' bulletin board, or semi-once-in-a-while interior dec- orating, we at least knew when to drop the croppers and thesau- ruses and have some fun. This, I believe, is my small chance to give my thanks to every staffer and editor who made it through the year with us. I am sin- cere when 1 say that without your hard work and dedication, this book and this year wouldn't have been the same. I appreciate your effort and support. And, of course, through this cha- os, we found the time to produce this 328-page yearbook. I knew I forgot something. ■ Marc Eisem- an, Editor-in-Chief The year- book compe- tition was fierce.

Uniforms had been fitted, music memorized, and flags removed from storage. Ev- erything was ready for their first chance to perform ... but it rain- ed. Despite missing two of the four scheduled performances because of rain, the Marching Band and Flag Team performed at an addi- tional playoff game. The premier exhibition was the 24th annual Mewsday Festival in which the band's 140 members played be- fore a roaring crowd of 10,000 peo- ple.

The team was organized Just two weeks before the first performance. photo Michael Alfleri Entertainment | In New Form This was one year that every- one seemed to splurge for new uni- forms Even in the bitter cold weather their faces were full of energy, spir- it, and smiles. They jumped, they danced, they flipped and Kicked. The Dalerettes and the varsity and junior varsity cheerleaders were out on the football field leading the pep rally before the homecom- ing football game. Behind each smile was hard work. It started in the spring when the tryouts were held. The girls that made it had only tasted a small portion of what hard work re- ally was like. After school began the Dalerettes had to make up and leam a whole new dance routine. The cheerleaders, both varsity and JV, had to create new cheers and pyramid formations. I don't mind practice, though it's hard work, because 1 want to look as good as the varsity team, said sophomore Christine Thompson, of the JV team. All of the practice on Tuesdays and Thursdays for the Dalerettes or the practices before the games paid off when the team began the football season. The Dalerettes preformed the half-time show with the Marching Band during home football games, and the cheer- leaders did their cheers at the si- delines. When the football season ended it only meant that the show would be moved indoors onto the basketball court. The cheerlead- ers not only did sideline cheers but also the half-time shows. The kick- line won the first place trophy at the Long Island kickline competi- tion in the winter, which was held at SUMY Old Westbury. Performing in front of a crowd not only was thrilling, but when the show went well, it gave them a sense of pride. It was nice to feel like a winner, said Linda Fasbin- der, junior. However, their were times when things didn't go right. Sophomore Jennifer Terry, of the JV team, said, It's really lots of fun when one part of the pyramid falls apart. You just have to stand there and smile. The girls got in- volved for reasons other than per- forming and having fun. I joined in my freshman year because my sister was on the team and I saw them preform. That was when I de- cided I wanted to become a part of the team, said Dalerettes co-cap- tain, Kathy Gillan, junior. As a JV cheerleader I feel that this is a way to become more involved with school spirit, said Lynda Alfino, sophomore. Besides purchasing new jerseys for the football sea- son, the team gained green sequin uniforms used in competition and basketball games.

Whether the score was 20 points in our favor or just the other way around, that ex- tra something meant everything.

It was obvious that they had come a long way. They made it through the first scary audition. They made it through the building of the sets. Finally they got to the point of coordinating the lighting and effects. Opening night had fin- nally arrived. The Playcrafters, the school the- ater group having varying talents, was a close-knit organization who crafted two plays a year, a musical and a drama. Neil Simon's, Bare- foot In The Park was chosen in- stead of the usual musical as the season opener. Cast members au- ditioned for their roles by reading lines of the play, sight reading, and dancing if necessary. Every year we gain new people, but unfortu- nately, we always lose old ones, said Marcy Wang, senior, But if they are willing to learn, they can become important assets to our group. The Pit Band provided the live sound which always made the musical come alive. Junior, John Passannante, trombone player, said, The music really helped the show become a success. 1 felt I was part of the show without being on stage. Costumes were either cre- ated by cast members, rented by parents, or made by Laura Ulric, wife of Ken Ulric, club adviser. On opening night, the entire cast Joined in for the singing of The Star Spangled Banner even though some sang off key. After the show everyone went to a diner or a fancy restaurant to celebrate the special opening night. While working late evenings and long weekends, the crew members managed to build the elaborate sets. “The hours we work are so long, it seems 1 am always in school ' said sophomore, Andy Berkowitz. In addition to building the sets, the crew was also respon- sible for moving the sets and scen- ery during the actual performance. Money was alloted for each show from the school board, which went towards wood, paints, and muslin. The Livewires, who were in charge of organizing and creating the lighting effects, became an im- portant part of the show produc- tion. Working one to two hours a day, and for longer periods near- ing the performance, this group combined their talents with those of the cast and crew to provide the best possible visual effects. I learned so much about operating lights for backstage perform- ance, said Jeff Roth, sophomore. Now 1 have something to fall back on in my future. However, despite much work, the Livewires received little public recognition for their hard work. The curtain closed on the last scene. Sets and scenery were sal- vaged for the next production. The cast rejoiced with family and friends over another fine perform- ance. The Playcrafters entertained once again. ■ Michael Marmo PLAYCRAFTERS First Row: Dave Restrvo, Neil Riha, Jared DArgenio, Debbie Gecew z, Krista Danielson Second Row: Joseph Tnfaro, Pa- mela Hess, Jen Fischer, Matt Becker, Marcy Wang, Unde Ge- cewtcz Back Row: Tom Joseph, Aliza lamdan, David Ulnc, Maria Nardeilo, Gina Ruzzier, Jennifer De Felice photo Mi- chsel Alfitri I Entertainment LIVEWIRES First Row: Stuart Wemberg -president, Pamela Hess vice president, Jen Grabowski -general manager, Joseph Dudeck adviser Back Row: Joe Gannon, Jeff Roth.

Who could you possibly ex- pected to be in school at a time like this? But. the sounds of strange music filled the corridors, giving some sign of life. Students in the Jazz Lab went through a 2 hour rehearsal every Tuesday night. Why would some- one give up prime time television for a band rehearsal? 'I want to leam more about my instrument and especially how it relates to Jazz, said junior, Ronni Johnson. Jazz Lab performed at all of the for- mal and informal school concerts throughout the year. Tor the first time members got a chance to un- derstand the workings of improvi- sation. Improved solos were re- hearsed during a major part of each rehearsal, and soloists got a chance to try them out for an audi- ence at a concert. It's really not as hard at it seemed at first, said Trank Bondietti, sophomore. With practice, anything is possi- ble. Performing at the Rotary Club's annual Farmingdale Follies gave the Jazz Lab the chance to show off their accomplishments and at the same time raise money for poor families in the local area. Shaun Levin, sophomore, com- mented on the concert. I would grab any chance to perform for an audience, but the cause is even greater when people get together to help others. The Madrigals were more fortu- nate in that their rehearsals usual- ly took place directly after school. Mary Allison, who advised and or- ganized the group was very strict about choosing singers. Patrick Nieli, senior, said, When we had auditioned, everyone had to sing a song that we practiced. Only a few people were accepted in the end. One of the biggest performances of the year was the Renaissance Fair. Senior, Debbie Gecewicz, said, Performing wasn't the only high of the day. After we were fin- ished, we got a chance to watch a joust and tarrot card tellers. This made the day even more excit- ing. The Madrigal Singers were most noted for their authentic Eliz- abethan clothing worn at all performances, which added true feeling to the music of the Renais- sance. Show Choir was the latest addi- tion to the musical groups. They met every Monday for one to three hours for their performance in the Winter Concert. They sang old tunes and songs from Broadway shows. Choreographing dance steps to go with the music was an- other important part of their show. Sometimes it was difficult to sing and dance, but we had a good time doing it, said freshman, John Churchill. When the practices ended, the group went home and watched the VCR tapes of shows that they mis- sed. To them, applause after a per- formance was worth even more than seeing a favorite program live on television. ■ Eve Eskin • Mi- chael Marmo Anything from medi- eval folk songs to blues in B - flat was waiting to be conquered MADRIGAL SINGERS Front Row: Debtxe Gecewicz, Jessica Blais, Susan Dorsey Back Row: Dave Utric, Cynthia Warnokowski, Edwina Haynes photo MKhae!

Karen Lim photo Michael Alfien Entertainment Everyday is a special day ' said Cheryl Beswick, junior, who worked for the Daler Press, because we re always working on new projects ' The Press printed everything from play programs to teachers' work guides while they learned printing skills that couldn't be learned anywhere else. The major purpose of the Daler Press was to print the school magazine. Muse and Media. The difference between this club and other school organizations was that they created work from their own minds. The Daler Press, along with Muse and Media, the Paper Lion and Art Club were similar groups that fell into the same pro- duction category. Muse and Media was published once during the year and was made up of the best writers throughout the school and the most talented artists and photo- graphers. The award winning peri- odical was filled with short stories, poems, paintings, sketches, non- fiction and fiction articles. For the first time Muse and Media included computer drawings and a piece of composed music by a staff mem- ber. The magazine appeared in the spring after months of late nights and hard work from the editors. We really worked very hard and gave as much effort as possible be- cause the staff consisted of many new people, including myself. The editors were always trying to teach us how to do a layout, said fresh- man Judy Leach. The newspaper. The Paper Lion, released issues several times dur- ing the year. It displayed the most diversity of any other club because it printed such a wide variety of in- formation in every issue. The pa- per was adapted to a computer- ized format. This allowed the edi- tors an easier production. You al- ways have to look for new ideas to improve the paper ' said Bari Sue Kenyon, junior, You must always be looking ahead and thinking of new ideas for the future issues.'' The Art Club worked with differ- ent forms of art including painting and ceramics. This group went on trips to art galleries in the city which gave encouragement for their future endeavors. Their ma- jor projects were to paint murals in offices which had no windows. This gave the group the practice that they needed. These four clubs stood alone from the rest. The members volun- tarily put responsibility on them- selves and searched for a feeling of accomplishment from a fin- ished product. With their hard work, it was definite that what they put in, they always got out. ■ James Cage WORKED OUT Proofreading is an Impor- tant step in producing any good publication.

I joined fBLA to leam more about the field of business, since that is what I'm interested in, and leam in a way I thought it would be somewhat different, said Laura Ponce, Junior. Learning the basics for modem business operation in the United States and training for district and state competitions were major activities. The best time I had with fBLA was at the Concord Hotel because it was fun to get together with people of my own age and interest to compete against them, said senior Kevin Wilson, fBLA president. Organization of the Senior Citi- zens Dinner before the holidays was a major project, preparing a banquet for the elderly of the com- munity. Members cooked season- al foods, set up eating accommo- dations in the teachers' cafeteria, and donated poinsettias to all their guests. The new age of computers has given new meaning to becoming a secretary; and future Secretaries, under the direction of Georgetta Binder, encouraged its members not only to take courses in com- puter operation but also to engage in social activities preparatory to a secretarial career. This group best meets my future interests and offers experience for developing new ideas, said Keri-Ann Kier- nan, freshman. As well as offering textbook training, f SA gave practi- cal experience through various so- cial functions: parties, bake sales and trips. future Teachers hoped to en- courage interested people to enter the field of education.

What was the point of having so many of them, and did they really help a club do whatever it does better? Everything a club needed was kept in an office. For example, the AVA equipment was stored in the AVA office adjacent to the library. SAC members kept money and candies for fund raisers and other projects in their office opposite the cafeteria. With an office came the job of taking care of it. Usually, all the club members joined for a period of intense clean- ing. At our first meet- ing we cleaned the of- fice. We got together one day and cleaned out the whole room so that it became usable, said sophomore Matt Becker of Muse and Me- dia. The office became more homey as a re- sult. Besides offices, there were a couple of places in the building famous for being hangouts for certain clubs. The benches closest to the gym were where the Varsity Leaders Club hung out and sold their She sat in home- room mechanically listening to the an- nouncements. In- variably, they said the same things. But wait ... today it was different. The Playcrafters were one group that made creative announcements to encourage students to see their plays. Using prerecorded messages, they per- formed segments from the play dur- ing homeroom. Posters with catchy sayings is one sure way to grab the students' attention, said Kerry Borrosso, ju- nior, of the Ski Club. The club posted signs throughout the building offer- ing information about each trip. pretzels.

You slaved for hundreds of hours painting scenery for the play, marching in the bitter cold and going without a full night’s sleep to complete a dead- line. Facing these personal triumphs had more to them than it seemed. Or did they? Extracurricular activities were an important aspect reviewed by col- lege admission boards. Some stu- dents felt that be- longing to clubs was favorable to their getting in to the college of their choice. “SADD looks good on your record,” said junior, Brian Niederberger. You want the col- lege to know that you are responsible about your life.” Choosing clubs to make your record look good was common, but others stressed that they joined a club to be part of the group and to get some- thing out of its func- tions. I’m in Show Choir only for my personal satisfac- tion, said junior, Jennifer Grabowski. If it looks good for college, then that’s nice too,- but I do it just for myself. Whether some joined groups to further their per- sonal knowledge or increase their chance of getting into that first choice school, something was learned. Now who said that all hard work and ded- ication meant noth- ing at all Admit it, you got something out of the experience be- yond a neat appli- cation. ■ Michael Marmo ...And Nothing But The Truth Why did people really join clubs? Were there some rea- sons that outweighed the rest? On January 30,166 stu- dents in 10th through 12th grade were asked to rank the following reasons for joining a club. 1 is the mosfimportant reason, and 5 is the leastim- portant. The results are as fol- lows: 1. To help get Into the college of my choice 2. To get a personal satisfac- tion from the club 3. To be with my friends 4. To spend my extra time 5. It looks good to others Kids’ Writes When I first read about Teen To Teen in Newsday, I saw this as a chance to further my interest in journalism, said Allison Moran, se- nior, who wrote for Teen To Teen as well as the Paper Lion. Since I really want to 30 into journalism as a career, I really wanted to write for this paper. Teen To Teen, a hish school newspaper was circulated in about 30 schools and was written by students who wanted to experi- ence the challenge of working for a paper. Al- lison dealt with such to- pics as female football players, teen pregnan- cy and local school board elections. The job gives me something to do outside the Paper Lion, she said. My ed- itor assigns articles cov- ering all of Long Island, which I would not nor- mally cover in our own school paper. This va- riety of topics provided Allison with a greater field of coverage, something limited by the boundaries of a building. Allison attend- ed the monthly meet- ings at the paper’s headquarters in Carle Place. Once back home, Al- lison shared her experi- ences with the Paper Lion staff by speaking in journalism class and of- fering assistance when it was needed. The staff doesn’t look up to me as someone special, but they do value good advice when it’s given,’ she said. Allison saic she would continue working for the paper to succeed in her future journalism career. It i: really a good experi ence, except for those interviews when people hang up or even discon nect their phones. ■ Michael Marmo CATCHAGLIMPSE CATCHAGLIMPSE CATCHAGLIMPSE CATCHAGLIMPSE HAGLIMPSE ;haglimpse HAGLIMPSE BOY ITS COLD Suzanne Juns and Dawn Dorfmeister snusgle up to keep warm while waiting for the 3:30 bus.

The latest fashion craze? A new together look? Well, maybe not quite that far, but cer- tainly a final link that brought everything to- gether. Fashion or not, club jackets, tee-shirts and sweats were certainly the rave. They came in all colors and sizes but always bore some logo or trademark of the or- ganization they repre- sented. My band jack- et adds an extra special emphasis which shows that everyone be- longs ' stated junior Jennifer Tobias. Shirts and jackets created a sense of unity among the members in a group. Getting these items was not easy. Clubs such as the Dalerettes held fundraisers for their extra items: gloves, new uniforms, and com- petitions; but they had to pay individually for the larger items such as jackets. My Dalerette jacket was $80, and my jersey was $15; but they were worth it be- cause I enjoyed wearing them, said junior Tricia Rotberg. Did these outfits real- ly have a stronger im- pact other than creating a feeling of together- ness? Tara McGowan, senior, stated, They let other people know about the club by their use of advertising, and in this way more people become interested in it. The advertising they created certainly pro- moted sales for school items such as play tick- ets and yearbooks. Was a club member ever embarrassed to wear a club jacket or shirt in the company of his or her friends who were not in the club? No,” answered Shaun Levin, sophomore, about her Playcrafters jacket, I was proud to be involved in some- thing I really love to do. Some might be sensitive around others, but cer- tainly not me. Be it jacket or tee- shirt, whatever bore the label of a school organi- zation helped create club remembrances. Even after the jackets grew too small and the shirts became too tight, these items served as reminders of the members' participa- tion and enthusiasm in their activities. ■ Mi- chael Marmo SHOW OFF New fashion trends are set by Dalerettes Patty Corwin and Lisa Johneas.

There was always a fund raiser going on, whether it was selling candy, gifts or wrapping paper. But by far the most common item sold was chocolate. Christine Nelson, ju- nior, said, “It was worth selling choc- olate bars for the Honor Society be- cause we made a $15 profit on each box which went to the scholarship fund.” The Varsity Lead- ers Club sold pret- zels in the Commons every period; prof- its went to adopted families and the gym banners. Wal- ter Brem, adviser, said, When the weather is cold, pretzels sell faster. We can go through 250 to 300 a day. Certain candies were favored over others, such as M M's and Skittles. Un- fortunately, Dr. Ste- ven Kussin didn’t agree. M M’s and Skittles are used as missies by some students and cause littering in the school.” However, Evan Lavine, fresh- man, commented, A club should be allowed to sell whatever it wants. M M’s make good money.” Despite what students thought, these items were not al- lowed to be sold. In the end, money was raised to make the many dreams become reality.

First, there was a mad dash to the locker, then the important deci- sion came. Should one have sone to the Com- mon Sense, Interact, or the SADD meetins or have sprinted to the bus and avoided the con- flict altosether. However, it became a challense when a stu- dent belonged to three or more clubs. A person could be in only one place at one time; there- fore, some students jug- The §©(0) Dash gled their schedules and attended which- ever meetings they thought were the most important. Others used the “half and half method. First, they went to one meeting, then left early and ran to another. The opposite of hav- ing too many meetings to attend was having only one short one. However, this didn't mean there wouldn't be any problems. Not ev- ery person was fortu- nate enough to live within a walking dis- tance of the school. Even though there were late buses provided by the school, they were not always convenient, since the buses left only at certain times. As Christine Sarno, sopho- more, said, Meetings may end quickly, but I have to wait for half an hour or more to get the bus. This really drives me crazy. With over 40 clubs in existence, it was impos- sible to avoid conflicts with meetings occuring at the same time. “It would have been easier for us to sort out meet- ings if all of the clubs had calendars with set dates, suggested Celia Bacon, sophomore. Un- fortunately, no system of coordinating club meetings on separate days existed. Keeping track of all the meetings was troublesome some- times, but who cared when you were having fun.

Horse- drawn carts travelled the roads as farmers plowed with simple equipment. The paths have become high- ways saturated with auto- Centuries mobiles, and the farmlands are now housing devel- opments. The economic mainstay of agriculture eventually yielded to indus- try.

Farmingdale's beginnings were set on October 15, 1665 when Thomas Powell purchased 15 square miles of land from the Massapequa Indians for $600. Powell lived on the land alone until he sold one third of his hold- ings to Thomas Whitson. The children and grand- children of these men built homes and farms on the pur- chase. By the late 1700's there were two dozen fami- lies living on the 15 square mile area. As time went on, the town developed; the Quaker Meeting House was built as a place of worship and Farmingdale education began when the one-room schoolhouse was built. In 1814 came the first ma- jor legal division of the Beth- page Purchase when New York State Legislature ap- proved an act to establish school districts: Bethpage Common District No. 14, Plainedge District No. 15, and Hardscrabble District (Farmingdale) No. 8. So, for about 150 years, Powell's Purchase remained as the semi-scattered farms occu- pied by his descendants. ■ David Kutler Town Founding KAREN'S KANGAROO FULL LINE OF CONTEMPORARY JUNIOR SPORTSWEAR SHOES AND FURS Clothes Horse 10% Student Discount 770 SUNRISE MALL MASSAPEOUA, N.Y. 11758 (516) 795-1111 Quality Children's Clothes At Discount Prices 203 Main Street Farmingdale, NY 11735 (516) 293-9111 '32D PasquaU A.

Mistaken Identity Do you know what district your school is in and when it began? I have no idea when it began, but I think we re School District 22, said Lisa Bradley, senior. That is cor- rect, but the school was ac- tually first designated to be in District Eight because of a mix-up in the records. In 1814 the Farmingdale School District was estab- lished by the town board and School Commission in Nor- wich. No record of the deci- sion was made and in 1864 the State Education Depart- ment designated the East Norwich District as District Eight and the Farmingdale School District as Joint School District 22. This was where the mix-up began. Evidently these num- bers were interchanged and East Norwich became known as District 22 and Farming- dale as Eight. After an inves- tigation of the school district boundaries. Honorable Mr. J. F. Crooker discovered the interchange of District Eight and 22. Finally, in 1899 the eastern section of Queens County became Nassau County, so the name of our ■■■■■■■ school district became known as Union Free Joint School District 22. ■ David Kutler CLASSES DISMISSED ...

Eventually, this idea turned out to be the Long Island Railroad, a major artery of transportation that carries Long Islanders to their jobs in and around New York City. The Ronkonkoma Branch, a section of the LIRR, has come a long way since it was constructed in 1841. Seventeen people ac- tive in Village of Farmingdale affairs gave the Long Island Railroad Company the green light by signing its charter. The company began and built the crossing at Merritts Road. There were four trips to Brooklyn daily and the fare was $20 for three months and $60 for a year. The train consisted of a platform, flat cars and stagecoaches for the passengers. The depot was moved to Front Street and the cost of tickets rose to $32 a month. (The current round-trip to NYC is $125.) To meet com- muters' needs the number of daily trips to Brooklyn was raised to twenty. The Farmingdale Railroad has been a source of em- ployment for many students while it provided a form of transporation for those who needed to get to and from work. ■ Carol Devine STATE FARM INSURANCE COMPANIES HOME OFFICES BLOOMINGTON, ILLINOIS CHARLES E.

Farminsdale, N.Y. 11735 Quakers Settle for Farmingdale Consider the word 'Quaker'' and it probably brings to mind the pudgy man on Quaker Oatmeal canisters reminiscent of breakfasts past. But, there is another meaning to that word. The Quakers are a reli- gious group which settled here in 1698 led by Thomas Powell, one of our first resi- dents. Services of worship were held at the Quaker Meeting house, which was built in 1741 across the street from the present meeting house on Quaker Meeting House Road. Before the house was used as a place of worship, meet- ings were held once a week. The members participated in silent worship. Once a month, half of the meeting was devoted to church busi- ness. When speeches were to be made, they were done without previous schedul- ing. The present Quaker Meet- ing House dates back to 1890. It is a light blue and white house partially seclud- ed by trees, and surrounded by the silence of the ceme- tery where many of our form- er residents are now quietly resting. ■ Jackie Cutugno RELIGIOUS RESTORATION Recently rebuilt and restored to its original appearance after its de- struction by fire and vandalism, the Quaker Meeting house is still being used today by the American Society of Friends, photo Julie Sisto Best of Luck to the Class of 1987 Coopers Pharmacy and Home Care Marian’s Ceramics Inc.

Farmingdale was affect- ed by this upheaval. The people of the area began to chafe under the rule of the Crown. Monopolies granted to city millers angered local farmers. «This resentment toward the arbitary rule of the gover- nor resulted in the formation of a Committee of the Sons of Liberty, an organization of patriots. The Sons of Liberty in Farmingdale sent letters to the King and the Commit- tee in Massachusetts pro- testing the laws. Although people recog- nized the need for a revolu- tion, many Farmingdale resi- dents could not give them- selves to be part of the revo- lution. When the Provincial Congress asked Hassau for delegates for the Congress, we answered with a resolu- tion citing our reasons for af- firming allegiance to King George. Farmingdale and Hassau were split on this idea. The situation got so bad that the Continental Congress proclaimed that Hassau was, incapable of resolving to live and die free men, and should be ex- cluded from the revolution. The Congress sent troops into Hassau to force alle- giance to the Congress and to answer any Loyalists. This split which developed in 1775 was healed as free- dom was won. ■ David but- ter Ktivnlulirmurv War ...±( Philip C. Lipton Vice President Kramer Chemicals Inc.

Fire! The Farming- dale Fire Department is aler- ted, and the sirens blast throughout the neighbor- hood calling the volunteers. Farmingdale is fortunate to have a fire department that can help in an emergency, but prior to the 1880 s no fire department existed to an- swer our calls. The fire department began in 1886 when a group of resi- dents organized a fire com- pany to limit losses because of fire. On January 14, 1886, Hook, Ladder, and Hose Company Ho. 1 was formed. The company's equipment was anyone's ladder, a gar- den hose, an axe, and a bucket. They got water wher- ever they could find it. Later, after scraping enough money together, the Depart- ment erected a small fire- house and purchased pro- fessional equipment. By 1928 both fire compa- nies deeded to the village all their property, buildings and equipment for $1.00. In re- turn the village built the present Main Street Fire House. Even in a small town like Farmingdale, the fire depart- ment has saved hundreds of lives. Without our volunteer firemen there would be no one to save burning homes or our tree-climbing kittens. ■ David Kulter Von Leesen's Confectionery OUR OWH HOMEMADE ICE CREAM AHD ICE CREAM CAKES.

The village includes a school, a church, shops, and bams, all of which have been restored to the way they were at specific dates. The Powell House depicts the typical farm house of 19th century Long Island. The Manetto hill Church was re- stored to its 1857 look. Its style shows the architectural genre of the time. The restoration was a pop- ular location for field trips for students in elementary school and junior high. How- ever, high school students also went. Patrick McGuirk, senior, said, I like to spend some time there on a nice day just walking through the town. Lisa Barone, sopho- more, said, It's the only place on Long Island where you really see what the past looked like.

The first aircraft factory was established in 1914 in Farmingdale by Lawrence Sperry, it manufactured a navy triplane, the Verrille Sperry Racer, aerial torpe- does and various aviation in- struments. In 1932 the Kirkman Engi- neering and Manufacturing Company was founded in South Farmingdale. This company later became Lib- erty Aircraft products and was one of the largest sub- contractors of aviation parts during World War II. Alexander Kartvelli estab- lished Seversky Aviation Corporation in the early 1930s in East Farmingdale. Seversky became Republic Aviation Corporation. In 1937 they designed and manufactured the P-35, which was the first all-metal low wing combat fighter. In 1948 Republic devel- oped one of the first jet fight- ers in history - the Thundeijet . In 1950 this plane was placed into full production for combat use in Korea. Republic also built the F- 105 Thunderchief and the CARVEL Denise May all your dreams come true. A10A Thunderbolt 11.

It could be found among the Mali's over 170 stores. Along with stores like J.C. Penney, Macy's and Abraham and Strauss, there are smaller shops, and the United Artists movie theater complex. The mall has hosted many people and programs. There have been fairs, fashion shows, auctions, and celeb- rities, including members of the Mew York Islanders, Jets, and various soap opera stars. We are very community- service minded, said Clau- dia Lupoletti, the mall's Mar- keting Director. Surveys showed that over 250,000 people shopped at Sunrise each week. The mall has been serving the Nassau Community since August, 1973. It was built on 75 acres of land for $45 million. Be- sides being an asset to the community, the mall has provided job opportunities for students. It has been more than just a hangout and a place to shop! Kar- en Epper SHOP THEN STOP The Sunrise Mall Is a very popular place for students shopping and socializing. Shoppers often take a break at this snack shop, photo rioah Rosenberg Fair Play Lumber Co.
