parking lots in the morning. As stu- dents, we feel safe knowing that no one will steal the lot. It is also refresh- ing to drive into school and be wel- comed by a freezing, friendly face. We are comforted by the fact that the se red-nosed undercover agents are guarding and protecting the pave- ment from all the pavement-snatch- ers rumored to be lurking in Westbor- ough. Keep up the good work! All in all, being a teacher is not an easy job. Many teachers claim to be losing their sanity. Evidence of this can be found anywhere. Besides los- ing his Music Theory class, Mr. Pap- pazisis lost Leopard Woman in Mon- treal (to his great disappointment). Mr. Lightbody lost his beard as well as the attention of half of his students. Mr. Trahan, determined to outdo Jim, lost weight and ALL of his class during the invasion of the A. P. Mafia. Mr. Markvenas has succeeded in get- ting everyone lost in physics, while everyone in A. P. Chemistry is totally lost, including Mr. Cerasoli . . . Mr. Vail, our fearless leader, stands alone — determined not to lose his friendly disposition (no sarcasm in- tended). However, the most signifi- cant loss that the faculty will face in their career will be the loss of the class of nineteen hundred and eighty four.

World Leaders The teachers at Westborough High School never cease to amaze their stu- dents. They are usually boring, occa- sionally witty, and often times upset- ting (like those essays assigned a few days before Mid-Years). Like our world leaders today, each has an out- standing characteristic that amuses the people around them. Take Mrs. Lorusso (PLEASE!). She will always be remembered for exclaiming OH SKUNKFACE! whenever she makes mistakes. She ' s also known to use this expletive when a female leaves the bathroom heavily scented. Likewise, Mr. Juszynski ' s swell attitude will go down in WHS history. In spite of its strange idiosyn- crasies, our faithful faculty has man- aged to teach us much along the way. This year, teachers are being awarded for their noteworthy charac- teristics in the form of teacher super- latives. Mrs. Boyle and Mr. Pappazi- sis were ecstatic upon learning that they were voted best dressed. They are happy to know that they haven ' t spent their money for nothing. Ms. Ferrari and Mr. Heckman were rec- ognized for the devilish grins they give students who flunk tests. Ms. Ferrari was heard saying, Thank God for ULTRABRITE! when she was awarded the honor. Mr. Heck- man attributes the popularity of his smile to his boyish charm. Mrs. Mul- lin and Mr. Sharpe were nominated and actually won The Shortest award. However, in order to avoid conflicts and possible lowering of our grades, we gave them Cutest in- stead. Most Gullible went to Mrs. George and Mr. Kaplan. When they asked us if they were REALLY gull- ible, we said no and they believed us!! We placed two lucky teachers. Miss Spinney and Mr. Juszynski, in a class by themselves. Miss Spinney has impressed us all with her valient pro- tection of the third-floor girls ' room. Mr. Juszynski, with his charming dis- position, has shown us the finer things in life. After all, what self-respecting student would eat his lunch without a bottle of Diet Moxie? No one could compete for The Swell Guy and Gal Award against our own Charlotte and Walter. One controversial issue among teachers was the invasion of the National Guard. Although the Na- tional Guard ' s mission was to pre- serve peace at WHS, some teachers and students were not pleased by its presence. Other teachers got into the army spirit. Mrs. Rouke-Dupuis got a little confused as to whether she was show- ing a filmstrip or shooting a student. Another controversial issue among the teachers was the guarding of our 22

Administrators: (back row) Dr. Kelleher, Dr. Thurston, Mr. Baker, Mr. Willard (front row) Mr. Cowles, Mrs. Ingerman, Mrs. Smith, Mrs. Bentley, Mr. Pessia To the Class of 1984: In a very few days we will be attending the best Graduation ever, as each of you who re- ceives a diploma will walk proudly across the stage. We will, indeed, tell you to walk proudly, as you will have achieved a goal that has not come easily; a goal not achieved by all; a goal for which you and your family may be MIGHTY proud. Proud, too, are the achievements of your Class, including the spirit you have given to the school and your three-in-a-row Booster Day victories in Grades 10, 11 and 12. So, walk proudly, good Class of 1984. The school is better because you were here. We will miss you. J. Robert Vail Principal 24
