Hopkins 4 Impression (im-presb' an) n. I, the act or process of impressing. 2. the effect, mark, or imprint made on a surface by pressure. 3. AN EFFECT, IMAGE, OR FEELING RETAINED AS A CONSEQUENCE OF EXPERIENCE. Impressions have their roots in our earliest begin- nings. Friends, family, and the conditions of our environment influence the ideas we form about our world. Experiences of our lifetime blend together in a vivid array of emotions and responses, resulting in memories that will forever be a part of us. We retain vague notions or remembrances of our childhood. It is not always the monumental events, but frequently the small, seemingly unimportant things that affect and form us. Individuals, institutions, or incidents affect us deeply and will remain etched in our minds forever. As children, our entire world revolves around our parents. They supply all the love, security, and affection that we require. Our lives are sheltered and our ex- periences limited. Childhood is a period of immense growth, and it is during this development that we begin to question our world. As time goes on, we look outside this isolated existence toward others for the recogni- tion, acceptance, and love that is essential for survival. Amidst a world that is accelerated, challenging, com- petitive, and often unrewarding, but always stimulat- ing, we are forced to learn what we must, experience what we can, and at all times try to maintain a sense of our own identity. In dealing with ourselves and other individuals, we are constantly being impressed and im- pressing others. Our lives are a series of effects, images, and feelings retained as a consequence of experience. 5 As we grow older our views and attitudes are continually changing. Intellectually, we pro- gressed from reading Green Eggs and Ham to the transcen- dental theories. From coloring books we have grown to solving algebraic equations. We are no longer dragged to the library and forced to look at picture books; we go freely to research college and career catalogs. Tastes have changed too. While listening to a Chicago album it is difficult to recall the years when our favorite record was Mother Goose. From Ger- ber’s and fully balanced meals, our taste buds are now condit- ioned to “junk food and crash diets. The baby bottle formulas hardly compare to what we guzzle now. Today with all our many interests it is difficult to remember the times we whined “Mommy what can I do now? Today we are cruisin' in cars, and no longer failin' off tri- cycles. We have progressed to the “Big Time,” working in stores and making minimum wages, instead of selling lemon- ade for 5C a glass. Probably the most important aspect of this “growing up process is our change of values and ideas. We must admit, whether frustrating or rewarding, our W.H.S. ex- perience has been the major factor in the process of maturing. 6 TO WORLD (M A SEftm s 7 Much of our lives, so far, have been centered on classroom activity: many of our earliest impressions are of rooms filled with blocks, dolls and trucks, books, blackboards, and maps. Now the furnishing of these rooms has changed somewThat; poster-bright walls of English rooms, sterile Science labs with delicate instruments and Math rooms with P- Q, x 2+y2 = 4 have replaced our former concepts of the classroom. Even the traditional row by row arrang- ment of desks has given way, in some instances, to the “classroom-in-the- round” set up. Toys and jungles gyms have given way not just to books, overhead projectors and cassettes but also to sewing machines, ovens, com- puters, typewriters, drawing boards, table saws and hydrolie jacks creating new and widely varied impressions of life and its opportunities. 8 Individual teacher philosophy is reflected by the variety of furniture arrangements and the wall decorations. Different approaches to the learning process are also evident and influential in developing and mold- ing our impressions and perspectives. Traditional or innovative class- room atmosphere and also the student environment are some of the most important influences on the formulation of our ideas, attitudes and values. 9 - Weekends, parties, cruising around town ... wondering what that special someone is doing . . music, movies, con- certs, going to the shore. We all have our own preferences. Goldfish swallowing? Phone booth stuffing? Hulahoops? Protest movements? Remember streaking? Fads come and go — favorite pastimes fade — yesterday’s hits are today’s jokes. Pizzas, subs, ice cream, hamburgers . . . Oh, those wonderful eating havens of town that provide us with more than just food. After all, everyone knows that Friendly’s is the place to find out about Saturday night parties. Crowds of kids in circles throwing Frisbees, dare-devils on skateboards, pros on the ski slopes, the choices are end- less. The less athletically inclined have some pretty thrill- ing moments too. Screaming at football and soccer games and experiencing a concert. But there is always a party (is it open?). Whether good or bad, crowded or small, the parties are as much a part of high school as homework. And so we go through high school — work and pleasure, fun and memories ... 10 11 Val Swart, Tom Bvrne, Terry Moore, Sue Glenn, and Anne Taylor enjoy the last bit of summer sun in the courtyard before the air turns cold. Oblivion sets in as Ann Henneghan be- comes absorbed in her book. Is Ken Cooper able to score with something other than a soccer ball??? Escaping the confusion of the masses. Jerilyn Ben Oxnard thinks . . . of all the places to be and Robin resort to bicycle rack privacy. stuck! 14 The ultimate in frustration is experienced as Alex and Maureen tantalize their toes. Phil Rudder waits for his guidance counselor. Dennis and Ed await the bell for their next class after lunch in the cafeteria. Free time! What are you going to do? Go to the cafeteria and grab something to eat; let your mind relax as your mouth works. On a sunny day the courtyard has a lot to offer. Lie down and catch a nap or socialize to your hearts content. If you have a test next period maybe you’ll run to the library or a resource center to do some last minute cramming. Guidance counselors have a unique way of gob- bling up free time, and usually on the most inopportune day. Or, go to the other social hangout of WHS — the ever popular smoking area. If you’re a smoker you can quiet your nerves with a drag of a cigarette or catch up on the latest gossip. There’s the bell — on to bigger and better (?) things. TAKE A LOOK AROUND Looking forward to a leisurely lunch, the walk to the cafeteria can be the high point of one’s day. To top it off, one can get a rainbow lunch, which includes a hot plate and various other useless appendages. Rainbow lunch offers a choice be- tween inedible or worse. But rainbow lunch does have its advantages; it offers varied ammunition for food fights. After eating and or spreading the food evenly over the tray, it is jettisoned. The remaining part of the period can be spent arguing, sitting in the courtyard, playing cards and occasionally studying. After the bliss of cafeteria cavorting, the fearful anticipation of one’s next class sets in. Making yourself heard in the cafeteria isn’t easy, as Margaret Kowatczyk and Karen Schramm will testify. Is milk a natural? Why don’t you ask Jim Parsons. Hey, is there room for one more at this table? And you thought the world only had seven wonders. Here stands number 8. pais The faces were hidden to protect the guilty. Tom Jackson agree lunches have got to go. those rainbow Your basic library scene — getting more talk- ing done than work- in the spring, the courtyard offers a great place to mix business with pleasure. Mr. Geoghegan explains the concept of athlete’s foot fungus. Well, it’s not exactly like catching rays in June, but the courtyard does offer a quick route to your next class, even in the winter. 18 For those of us who choose not to partake of the Rainbow Experience, there are other options. Many desire to communicate not only with friends but nature as well, and the courtyard offers this opportunity. It also offers an escape from the mania of crowded hallways and the dull drone of endless lectures. However, for those whose time is precious and the work load devastating, the library and Resource Centers offer a place to get it all done (or at least make an attempt). At times, going to the library can be a trying experience but if you make it past the probing questions of the librarians (“do you have library work and only library work to do?”) and manage to find a seat, its quite possible you might be able to get some homework done. BESIDES LUNCH With research to do, one student uses all the l$g sources the library has to offer, even the micro- film machine. Jim Longenbaeh is studiously involved in the Frau's work. Searching thru the reference section in the library, James Barnes wonders why all teachers seem to assign research papers at the same time. 19 BESIDES LUNCH Students relive history Ln the social studies resource center, watching the Presidential Debates on tape. Believe it or not, these kids are not listening to Peter Frampton but are Learning about one of the milestones of American History. Tom Kepping comes off the course to take a swing at math in the resource center. Resource Centers are also another place where you may be able to make a dent in the insurmountable work load. In the History, Math, Language and or English Resource Centers there is always a teacher ready and willing to offer assistance to any bewildered student. Library or Resource Center, there is always someone there to give a helping hand when it’s most needed. Todd Chancer searches for a future in the col- lege resource center. Catching up on his reading, Jeff Schwartz finishes another novel before the end of the period. 21 The mad rush to the Guidance Office to get transcript forms. How did she sneak by the hall monitors with food outside the cafeteria during a lunch period? She must have given them the old “I have a science lab1 line. 22 BESIDES LUNCH □ More Basketball in the gym. The frostbite continues, but no more splinters for Maureen Dooley and Frank Nigito. If fulfilling academic pursuits during lunch is not the thing, a rousing game of basketball is open to anyone who desires to join in. Lost and bewildered are the words that best describe the expressions and feelings of students that fill the Guidance Office. The Guidance Office — the “Mecca” to which stu- dents flock for college transcripts, class rank and S.A.T. applications, and to plead on bended knee for schedule changes. Chris Harvey looks about ready to call it a day —or night. Bill Harries knows how to keep cool in the heat of the day. 24 “How do I love thee, let me count the ways Mr. Eyre and Miss MacAnny — bom actors. Rob Wessels' concentration has been broken but Marc Meyers and Alex Moomjy are com- pletely absorbed in their calculus. ‘Take it easy, take it slow, there ain't no place else to go,” seems to be Jack Dagostaro's philosophy. DESK JOBS Throughout our years at WHS, we have all, at one time or another, participated in several of the basic college preparatory courses offered here. Whether our experiences include such courses as Algebra and Physics, or Nations, Spanish and English, they all serve as a basis for our evaluation and comprehension of our own lives. Although frustration and boredom often stand in the way of our never ending quest foT knowledge, (gag, cough) the majority of us find the time invested in these courses to be rewarding. Our impressions as we reflect on our courses, often conflict with the im- pressions we have while in the midst of the classroom atmosphere, daily homework assign- ments, and thesis papers. We often overlook the percent of class time spent on asking our- selves such mind-expanding thoughts as: “What time does this period end?” . . . “How long can I take this?” . . . “Does she really expect me to finish this thesis paper tonight when 1 haven't read the book yet?” . . . “How come this course sounded so much better in the course description manual?” .. 25 At 2:45? You must be kidding! X y 26 Mary Beth Boyle puts the finishing touches on her quilt in sewing. U Aleixs Wsdiak enjoys a relaxing moment in foods. 7 In addition to the basic aca- demic curriculum a wide variety of practical courses are offered at WHS. These classes enable stu- dents to develop skills that can be used outside of school as a hobby or an occupation ranging from sewing and electronics to interior decorating and auto mechanics. One can learn how to cook, fix a car, change blown out fuses or build a new kitchen table. These courses may also serve as intro- ductions to professional fields in such areas as computer science, electrical engineering and fashion design. For those not interested in the useful aspects of these classes, they at least provide a change in the hum-drum routine of the day. John Steiermann works patiently with a lathe in woods. LEAVE THE TEXT BEHIND 27 Just about everyone has suffered through double lab periods. Working with smelly chemicals, rippletanks, broken microscopes, gross sheep eyes, safety glasses, formalde- hyde and unbalanced balances are only part of it. We are subjected to having marbles roll away when we are doing labs in the halls, to losing the seechi discs at Bel mar, to memorizing formulas and counting how many corn kernels are yellow, how many are black, and the percentage of how often it will occur. The extremes are also there — from the boredom of two periods of lecture to rushing around trying to finish and clean up your lab in time with the right results. However, to most of us the lab write-ups are the hardest — which formula are you supposed to use, or trying to find the phone number of that smart, person in your class and finally resorting to asking your parents the question. Nevertheless the actual experience of being in the lab is Csilla Dunecsky plays peek-a-boo in Chem II. instrumental in understanding your scientific subject.

This is an example of the many fine works appearing in the W.H.S. art show in May 1976. AFTER CRAYONS 30 Solemnly, Ann Montgomery meditates about her art assignment. With careful precision, Chris Schwartz creates a new paper design. Using her ink pen, Claire Rowe draws a new masterpiece. Led by the dynamic duo, Mrs. Schenck and Mrs Grandcolas, our art department consistently main- tains a high standard among those students involved. With such fantastic material being created by the individuals involved in this study, it is no wonder that the annual art show is such a success. At anytime during the day, art students can be found either painting, carving, or perhaps working with clay, to mention just a few of the different mediums. It gives individuals a certain sense of accomplishment to realize they have the ability to create beautiful works of art from such basic material as paper, wood, clay, or paint For some of these students, the ultimate aim is a career in art, but for many others it is merely a hobby. A career in art is probably the most creative and the most difficult profession to choose. In a grow- ing industrial nation consumers are willing to pay more for mass produced plastic articles than they are for true artistic works. But despite this age of “mass production”, there will always be those indi- viduals striving to express their creativity, ideas, and impressions in the form of art. 31 Artwork by Kevin Sullivan RandaU Hansen -v.7 ,7 COED GYM BEWARE badminton. 32 The aroma of victory and the stench of defeat — the cafeteria is the only other place in the school that offers as wide a variation of smells as those found in the gym. These odors will he everlastingly impressed in our memories. Aside from just appealing to our sense of smell, physical education appeals to other senses. The sense of touch, even pain, results from various injury — including sports. Eyes are used extensively at the beginning of the period, as the boys stare at the girls in their gym suits and vice- versa. One’s sense of hearing picks up various grunts, insults, threats and an assortment of obscenities. Even taste plays a role in gym class. Pupils can be observed biting the dust regularly for no apparent reason. In addition to sense appeal, the new gym policy provides for sex appeal. The revolutionary concept of co-ed gym was first instituted this year and seems to have been greeted with great enthusiasm. However, certain sports such as modern dance and wrestling still remain segregated for obvious reasons. Female contortionists display their talents in gym. Displaying her perfect volleyball form, Terri Byrne makes contact while her team- mates move in to save the play. A typical sight in the gym . . . competitive, often brutal games of deck hockey. 33 BETWEEN CLASSES It's hardly Bloom ingdales' display window, but what can you do with a 10” locker? mmmm l Secret Agent Paschon makes the drop.

For some, C.I.E. and D.E. means waking up at 5:30 a.m. to the harsh ringing sound of the alarm, telling you it’s time to face another day. Taking a walk-through shower, you attempt to orient yourself to your surroundings. Pulling on a starched white uniform, careful not to wrinkle the stiffly creased folds, you start out the door, munching a piece of cold toast as you go. For those involved in the Cooperative Inter- scholastic Education and the Distributive Education Programs this is how a day of work usually begins, and the job may involve anything from dishpans to oil- pans to bedpans. Though the types of employment vary, all agree that gaining experience and receiving an income while getting college credit is a good road to take, whether it be to college or directly into the profession. WORK STUDY PROGRAMS 36 Santa Claus, alias David Breitbarth, makes it U.B.B. (unidentified bumping buns) in action! down the chimney just in time for a little Christ- mas cheer. Warming the spirits and toes of avid football fans the bonfire blazes on into the night. Late on a Friday afternoon, the sun sets over a normally busy town, and everyone heads inside. The day over, the night life begins! Now Colonial Westfield may outwardly appear as a town that dies at 9 PM, but inside in various areas of town, parties or open houses begin to get going. By invitation or just chance people get together for various activities and purposes. Freed from the grind of the school week, students remove all inhibitions on weekends. Sunset — the arrival of darkness over West- field is an open invitation to WHS’ers to com- mence partying. 38 Down town Westfield — boring, dull, unevent- ful — typical. 39 NIGHTLIFE Madison Square Garden and other New York City institutions offer cultural experiences as well as sporting events. NIGHTLIFE Friendly’s has served some pretty weird dips in their time, but these guys have got to take the ice cream. The desired end is to enjoy oneself; the means may vary. The most popular must be the traditional party where friends get together to reach new “highs1’ in strange behavior, accompanied by a good time. In the fall the traditional activities of paper- ing and the bonfire take place. For the real night life, some commute to New York for concerts or athletic events. The local com- mercial night life activities are limited to Friendly’s, Seymour’s, a movie, a Wrestling match or Basketball game at WHS, Despite how much some may complain about the local social scenery, all WHS students have a few nights they will never forget.

I can’t get away from Rainbow Lunch. 42 A five piece band it’s not, but it’s the best that could be done under the circumstances. THE BIG DANCE FACES We, of the Weather Vane Staff, (a sound minded body), hereby dedicate this spread to you: the glamorous, superficial, artificial, high fashioned, far out, elated, depressed, re- gressed, possessed, progressed, least best, thoroughly messed, and otherwise somewhat vari- able faces of Westfield High, and accept no responsibility for the bad looks or any subsequent harm or discomfort that might come to our readers upon or after their viewing. 44 46 When the word “fad” comes to mind we think of swallowing goldfish or stuffing people into telephone booths. Yet many fads are present in WHS today. To be really “cool” you have to wear a down vest, denim gauchos, crazy sox, and Frye boots. Peter Frampton, Boz Scaggs, and Boston are “it” as far as music goes. The “Bump” and the “Hustle” make great contri- butions to any rowdy party. In the area of recre- ation, both the skate board and the Frisbee have become popular ways to relax. The C.B. radio is another item that marks our time. The ideal would be to put that C.B. in a van painted with psychedelic colors. Streaking was the biggest fad several years ago, but we do not see much of that now. Fads come and go; what we have now will soon be outdated. FADS 47 APATHY CLUB We dedicate this page to all firm believers in non participation and lack of involvement.

The Student Council begins early in the year with homeroom elections for council representatives and S.A.T. sales. Throughout the year the Student Council spends many an hour plotting and planning social activities. From rocking to the Jersey Angels and dress- ing-up for the Halloween Party, to lis- tening to the music at the coffee house, the Student Council has attempted to bring diversification and fun to our night life. Janie, Peter, and Stacey are really getting into the spirit of the coffee house. Randall, Gary, and Pat discover the theory that not all WHS students are untalented. 60 A Jersey Angel takes the crowd to new heaven ly highs.

STUDENT COUNCIL Aside from social activities, the Student Council is involved in many other areas. Through such committees as the Exchange Com- mittee and the School Policy Com- mittee, members of the Student Council give insight into the ad- ministration of our own school as well as those nearby. The Student Council strives to make school life more worthwhile and often meets with success. 63 Wm What A Bod! Hunting through dank basements, dusty attics and cold garages can produce hilarious results as the outfits of Ken and Stacey prove. A devastated waste land of junk? No, actually it’s the N.H.S. Flea market. BBBm National Honor Society students have always been scavengers at heart and work diligently to make their an- nual flea market a financial success. Weeks of rummaging through musty attics, dank basements and cluttered garages for marketable goods culmi- nate in this annual event Members canvass their neighborhoods to fill their quota of odds and ends that range from clothes, books and toys to prized antiques. This year, N.H.S. members added to their scholarship fund by stacking newspapers and smashing bottles at the town recy- cling center. And of course, the stu- dents endeavored to make their tutor- ing service benefit as many students as possible. Another activity which the National Honor Society sponsors is a Talent show. The organization includes a variety of performing ar- tists from the student body in their production. The faculty advisor, Mr. Quagliano, on sabbatical for the first semester, was replaced by Miss Bjerklie during that time. Perplexed and confused the N.H.S. leaders attempt to carry on a “mandatory” meeting. 64 NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY PRESENTING: THE NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY 65 An old veteran plays folk songs at the German Festival Where does one witness a tricycle Tour de France, a chariot race, an execution by guillotine, and the break- ing of a pin at a in one afternoon? Where can one gorge one’s self on pizza, Italian sausage, and quiche Lorraine? The answer is — The Language Carnival — a conglomerate fiesta produced by the language clubs. W.H.S. welcomes a foreign exchange student from Germany. THE FRAU! Dovra you Brute! LANGUAGE CLUBS 66 What do you say about guys who run around wearing bedsheets? 67 LANGUAGE CLUBS 'H I -A The language dubs offer good times and cultural experiences for Latin, Spanish, Italian, German, and French students. The basic activity is fund- raising, usually in the form of bake sales and car washes. The ever popular Kookie Verhauf is produced by the German students. The students dress in traditional German costumes to sell their homemade cookies. The Italian Club sells tickets for an annual dinner, featuring chicken cacciatorie and tan- talizing pasta. The monies produced from these events go toward parties, concerts, and trips which exemplify the languages' cultures. This year, the French Club journeyed to the Garden State Arts Center to hear French folk- singers. “The Physicist” and “The Three Penny Opera” were viewed by the German Club. The Latin Club had a “toga party” complete with a slave auction. The Spanish Club prepared dinners of traditional Spanish food. Either the piriata just broke or this is a Roman orgy. Two Italian Club members read the menu in anticipation for the upcoming banquet. 68 Nice ratio in the Italian Club Werner Wyrich added some life to the French Club Party with his guitar-playing and singing. Some girls in the French Club sing along to the Tod Sawicki serves himself a second piece French Christmas carol, “Jeanette Isabelle.” of French pastry. 69 CONCENTRATE! Vocal Music at WHS is covered in two ways — five choral groups There must be something about those 7:30 under the direction of Mr. Wallace and individual voice training by starts. Mrs. Hill. Although the circumstances and techniques may vary, the basic goal of the two are the same: to improve the general musicianship of the singer as well as developing the voice. Mr. Wallace's groups, Sophomore Chorus, Girls Chorus, Boys Glee Club Choir and Choraleers, give several concerts throughout the year. Their repertoire is diverse, one can hear anything from the most structured classical pieces to the avant-garde. Mrs. Hill’s training culminates in the spring at the Voice Recital, in which several students sing solos with the accompaniment of only a piano. For those who do not participate in the vocal music department, passing by the rooms where voice classes are held can be a strange experience. Escaping from behind the doors are shouts of “pour the breath”, “use that diaphragm,” “self control is the key word” “think high.” Strains of arpeggios, scales and some- times even songs can be heard. For those inside, most of these routines make sense and add to the enjoyment and fun of singing. “Now remember — self control is the key word.” “Gar! ” 70 VOCAL MUSIC {to be sung to the tune of Camp fire Girls”) . . , sing around the piano, join the Choraleers . -.

Your basic tourists, standing in front of the legendary Little Mermaid. How’s this for publicity! Well, the accomodations weren’t exactly the Plaza Hotel .. The Chorale sang in many different atmo- spheres: empty churches, the gardens of Cathedrals, and, as above, town squares. Some of the singing that Mr. Wallace’s groups do take place outside of the school. The Choraleers often perform in local clubs and elementary schools. The Westfield Chorale, a group which is organized every other year, has been as far as Europe. In 1975 Mr. Wallace was invited to bring a chorus to Denmark to participate in an International Youth Festival during the summer of 1976. Upon arrival, the 40 members were separated while staying with host families for five days. A few days later, the group was reunited and traveled to a school outside of Copenhagen, where they were to stay for the next week and a half. From this point on, the Chorale was involved in a whirlwind of events including meeting people from other nations, shopping in Copenhagen, sightseeing, giving eleven concerts in six days, and generally having a fantastic time. 73 The Award winning WHS Marching Band marches to glory conducted by Drum Majors Ken Kirshenbaum and Lisa Taylor. .. .

Lisa Tipton and Sue Prebluda prepare for the long battle for first chair. The orchestra plays one of its many classical works. If you come down to room 22 any fifth period you can hear the strains of Bee- thoven, Mozart, Tchaikovsky and Saint Saens coming forth. Through the efforts of a sometimes upset Mr. Ragno, the orchestra practices both classical and contemporary music each day and final- ly culminates its hard work with a sea- sonal concert. The daily practice gives the musicians a chance to experience a type of music other than the everyday rock-and-roll. It also allows them to be- come involved in the art of expressing themselves through music. The brass section attempts to blast out the melody. Cathy Guthrie and Dan Kelly discuss bass matters. 76 ORCHESTRA The pied piper strikes again, Juana (Judy) Singleton toots on her flute. Mellow music resounds as Katie Hockenjos jams on her bassoon.

COLOR GUARD A sole “Riffle” is a lonely sight, one is a lonely number. 79 So, . . when does the show start? Botn Youtn r or unaersituiumg anu the American Field Service are part of the foreign exchange program at WHS, This year two YFU students from France and Germany, (Laura and Werner), and two AFS students from France and Denmark, (Sylvie and Inge), graduated from our high school. Our AFS chapter has sent Bruce Knapp to Finland for the sum- mer and Sue Troeger to Annapolis, Brazil for the year. Seniors Lee Tay- lor and Mark Webber are candidates for summer and next year AFS assignments. I was very excited when my plane came in over Canada and crossed the border to the United States where I should spend the next year. I knew that I would be living close to New York, N. Y. — in a town called Westfield— and so I had the picture of a town in mind J knew from so many American crime dramas that were broadcasted on TV in Europe. This impression was that I would be living in a suburban area of one of the most populated, most polluted, most depressing and at the same time most cultural offering and most exciting towns in the world, with sky-scrapers, streets full of cars, and people living so close together that nobody is interested in the neigh- bor next door. A town, or better, an area full of contrast; black and white, rich and poor, slums and palaces close together. When I finally saw Westfield I was surprised and astonished as none of my speculations was ture — no sky-scrapers, one family in one house, the contact to the neighbors o.k. (at least with our neighbors). I enjoyed the last days of vacation — most of the time on the beach — and was looking forward for the beginning of school (I never thought that I would be looking forward to school one day). I was wondering how it would be; whether it would be hard to adjust to the different school system, or — would I be able to understand what the teachers and my fellow students were talking about, would I have dif- ficulties to meet new friends? I am very lucky that everybody, teachers as well as students, were very kind and helpful to me. So I was able to adjust quickly, and I would like to thank all the people who made it so easy for me very much. Although I think that it is a pity that an exchange student doesn't have too much time to travel long distances and is therefore more or less only exposed to one of the many dif- ferent sub’’-cultures that — all together — form a nation, I am really glad that I was able to experience this sub -culture herein Westfield. In the time 1 was here I learned more about America, the people, the reasons for American stands in world affairs, America’s history, the problems and the American way of life” than in my previous education in Germany. If anybody would ask me whether to take part in an exchange program or not, I could only tell him or her that I think it is fantastic to take part in an exchange program and to be- come a living bridge between two cultures. Perhaps some of the students of WHS will think about applying for a program abroad. It is an experience I never would want to miss — try it and ‘ ‘Find yourself in another world.

For students with “acting in their blood ’ the three dimensions of the Drama Depart- ment Mask and Mime, Repertory Theatre and Experimental Theatre, offer rewarding opportunities. The satirical musical, The Boy- friend, starring Rita Maria Kelly and Charles Grillo, was presented this year by the Experimental Theatre group. From this hilarious effort de- rived such memorable comments as “Mrs. Decker, I love your Boyfrield shirt!” . . , “Practice, Practice and more Practice!!!” . . . “Bobby, won’t you Charleston with me?” . . . “Dance-Dance-Dance!” . . . “What are Tony and Polly doing sur la plage?” ... “Sing! Sing! Louder!” “We d even misbehave for them .” The perfect young ladies? Miss “Mac”, the enthusiastic and dedicated choreographer, shows some cast members a new dance step. 83 Boyfriend” T-shirts are on sale for $4.00, available in all sizes. 84 Ever heard of the Women s Seif-Awareness Club? The unique Repertory Theatre, whose pro- ductions are directed and produced by students, presented three one act plays this year; Over- tones, Adaptations, and Chinamen. Suzy Sul- livan and Monty Karp, as co-chairpersons of the club, organize the activities of the club and select the directors, producers and actors. Mask and Mime’s production this year was You Can’t Take It With You, starring Lyn Johanson and Andy Tibbals, and directed by Mrs. H.R. Louden. This organization also spon- sors the annual Drama banquet and awards the “excellent acting” scholarship to deserving stu- dents involved in the school productions. A drama department is only as good as its teachers and performers, and our department has proved itself to be of high caliber, time and time again. DRAMA Billy Zack once again at the grindstone.

The members of the Awareness Club involve themselves in both service and social activities. The club is open to any student who would like to join, there are no special requirements. The advisors are Mrs. Sheila Baynes, Mrs. Linda Clark, and Mrs. Ezola Adams. The club sponsors various social activities and this year the club members took part in an assembly dedicated to Martin Luther King. Invariably, if nothing special is planned for any given meeting, the kids sit and talk about anything that seems important or that concerns them in some way. Charlotte Mosley is on the edge of her seat with excitement over a contemporary topic. AWARENESS CLUB Vesta Godwin prepares to voice her opinion in a typical club meeting. 88 FUTURE PHYSICIANS Ww«w . The Future Physicians’ Club brings together those students who are interested in the field of med- icine and are considering it as a career. The most common activity of the club is inviting and hearing guest speakers. These speakers cover a wide variety of medical professions including pediatrics, psychiatry, dentistry, and veteri- nary work. Overlook Hospital in- vites club members to attend their Future Physician Day, at which students are shown various depart- ments of the Hospital. Explana- tions are given of the work done, and the techniques and instru- ments used in various treatments. The club affords an excellent op- portunity for students to become better acquainted with the medical profession, and may help them to decide whether or not they wish to pursue work in this field.

The Bible Club, which this year has met An advisor hard at work. on Wednesdays after school, is a fairly new group in the range of W.H.S.’ extra- curricular activities. The common goal of the members and the advisors, Mr. Jacob- son and Ms. Goller is to become aware of God and his teachings and, in this way, to lead a more morally-conscious life. Though the Bible can serve as a reference to the history of ancient civilizations, an origin for many of our modern day phil- osophies and laws, and as a collection of classical literary work, the role it plays as God’s word to wo man helps guide us through the problems of the everyday world. 90 KEY CLUB A proud Key Club display’s their symbol of service. One of the Key Club's initial achievements was entering the intemation organization. One of WHS’s most active organizations is the Key Club. Some of their activities this year have included the sponsorship of a CROP hunger walk and collecting for UNICEF and the March of Dimes. Through various means, such as selling circus tickets, the Key Club raises money which is used to improve some area of the school or town. Presided over by Tim Taddei, the Key Club claims a large membership of interested stu- dents involved in worthwhile service projects. A member eagerly awaits to be keyed in or clubbed out. WHS’s own Arnold Horshak, Randy Nathan- son, gasps to make her point. 91 Britain O’Connor demonstrates a back spin. (Note that the free hand is extended out and back at the wri9t. This is important for a jock appearance.) You fix your hair before the picture, Mike, not during. If you’re ever unsure of what to do on Friday afternoon, go down to Cafeteria B and see if there’s a Table Tennis Club meeting. Novices as well as experts are invited. The dues are nominal: just one dollar which helps to buy ping pong balls and paddles. Finding outside competition is tough since few high schools feature Table Tennis, but there are always plenty of willing players in our club. If you’re just beginning, you can play with another beginner and if you’re a good player you can challenge the reigning champ, Mr. Romano. At any rate, the members are there to have a good time, so, win or lose, everyone has a blast. TABLE TENNIS CLUB 92 Mimi Coymbe demonstrating a specific techni- que of ping-pong (unspecified). Have you guys been sipping the specimen? One of our truly stimulated students For prospective scientists, the desire to explore advances in all areas of scientific research extends beyond classroom experiences. The Saturday Science Program, coordinated by Mr, Elder, attracts WHS students with varied academic interests. In the Biological section insights into the development of several areas of western medicine such as radiology, immunology and nutrition were contrasted with a fascinating account of the experimental use of accupuncture. In the Physical section, participants were treated to first hand demonstrations of chromatography and fiber optics; other speakers discussed experimentation with plastics and the synthesis of proteins from petroleum. In all sessions, the students themselves contributed to the presentations with many in- teresting questions. In both sections, members are exposed to new areas of methods of investigation which will hopefully entice a number of students to pursue careers in science. SATURDAY SCIENCE . . Actually it’s quite simple, you put the little picture in here 93 WOMAN’S SELF-AWARENESS CLUB Women’s Self Awareness? Exactly. Women’s Self Awareness — a dub com- mlted to making women more knowl- edgeable and aware of the many chal- lenges they must face. Jennifer Powell is its creator and organizer with Maria Schmidt acting as the advisor. The club features guest speakers that discuss such topics as alcoholism, rape, bat- tered women, self-assertiveness, self- defense and any other contemporary issues that concern women. The club members are any where from far leftist libbers to women who are simply interested in what’s going on. What is their main goal? To bring together con- cerned individuals to discuss the chang- ing roles of women in today’s society. Here atre'our times fast} ! 94 Where’s the other ball? Ask Bob Kelly. LACROSSE? The Lacrosse Club, guided by the steady sick of Coach Shaun Cherewich, opened its premiere season against West Morris in April. Club members raised over $1000 to pur- chase equipment and if the goalie is still alive he will tell you if it was worth it. Tri-captain and middie Andy Carlson says that lacrosse “is a fast moving game with plenty of action. It takes a total team effort to be successful.” Sen- ior middie Bob Kelly also enjoys the fast paced sport. “The complicated plays require complete concentration and youTre always on the move.” Two WHS lacrosse players gleefully strike each other with their sticks.

Following an opening day tie, the team showed continuous improvement. The results were a record of 10-0-1, and the titles of Conference and State Group IV Champions. The football team again proved itself in the state championship with victories over Plainfield in the Thanks- giving game 34-0, Livingston 21-8, and Plain- field again 14-0. To add further glory to this impeccable record, the team was involved in four shut out games. At the end of the season Bret Schundler was voted First Team All State, and Bob McNally received First Team All State Group IV.

The Wrestling team began its out- standing performance in December by winning the Union County Tournament held at W.H.S. Among the first place finishers were Steve Brown (101), Dave Tinnesz (129) Joe Birmingham (148) and John Iglar (170). Dave was later named the Most Outstanding Wrestler. The season’s dual meet record of 13-3 indicates the remarkable ability dis- played by this year’s team. Led by co- captains Joe Birmingham and Dave Tinnesz, the team faced many difficult opponents in close meets with excited fans. They brought Piscataway’s 41 match winning streak to a halt with a convincing 26-18 victory. The match of the season between Westfield and Hunt- erdon Central was viewed by a capacity crowd of standing room only. Westfield then went on to become the District 12 State Champions with 5 first place win- ners: Steve Brown (101), Dave Tinnesz (129), Chuck Whedon (139), Joe Birm- ingham (148) and heavyweight Chris Harvey. Champions in the state region- al are Dave Tinnesz, Joe Birmingham, and John Iglar. 115 BOYS’ SWIMMING Boys’ Swimming 1976- ■1977 WHS Opponent 125 Columbia 38 126 Pingry 45 85 Mountain Lakes 71 117 Cranford 55 112 Plainfield 60 116 St. Joseph's (Metuchen) 56 105 W ardl a w- H ar tr id ge 67 68 Lawrenceville 104 92 Governor Livingston 80 138 Rahway 33 78 Cherry Hill East 91 108 Seton Hall 63 120 Union 53 123 Jefferson 49 12 wins, 2 losses “Look ma, no hands.” Mrs. Diamond checks out Dave Molowa’s legs. 116 “Help.

The team won its twentieth consecutive county championship, compiled a 12-2 record, and placed second in the state. Co-captains Bob Smith and John Hearon consistently performed well in the medley relay. Juniors Neil Banta and Justin Byrnes led the team in the sprint freestyle events while Paul Healy, also a junior, set school records in the 200 Individual Medley and the 500-freestyle. Other juniors who scored consistently were freestyler Trip Davis and breaststroker Rich Bagger. Divers John Krakora and Ron Posyton were un- defeated in dual meet competition.

The Winter Track team’s season was made memorable by outstanding individual achievement rather than by team laurels. Frank Kelly set a school record of 6,1 in the 60-yard dash en route to becoming Eastern champion. He was undefeated in all competition in that event. Butch Woolfolk also set a school record of 31.7 in the 300, while placing third in the East. Chris Paul placed second in group four and was the county champion in the two mile run. The mile relay of Kelly, Woolfolk, Wern- er Wyrich and John Slates was county victor. This year’s team tri-captains were Terry Brady, Mike O’Brien and Bob McDonough. 120 The handoff.

A determined Beth Avis keeps the ball away from the other team. With an extremely slow start in December and the beginning of January the girls' varsity basketball team posted a mid-season rec- ord of 2-11. However, by defeating a talented Chatham Township the girls made a fantastic comeback, ending the season with an 8-12 rec- ord. The leading scorer was co-captain Beth Avis who had a season high of 27 against Hillside. She was assisted by junior center and top rebounder Jackie Booth. The girls felt that their most exciting game was against Cranford on February 11. Trailing at half-time, the girls pulled ahead to win the game with a score of 56-49. 122 Girls’ Basketball 1977 WHS Opponent 28 Roselle Park 35 30 Dayton Regional 59 31 Scotch Plains 24 37 Roselle 51 32 Dayton Regional 30 37 Rahway 54 33 Piscataway 81 35 Scotch Plains 40 41 Johnson Regional 67 40 Union 34 37 Plainfield 45 41 Union Catholic 51 38 Cranford 48 42 Governor Livingston 48 56 Chatham Township 45 56 Hillside 50 60 Linden 49 57 Union 42 29 Scotch Plains 47 54 Battin 42 56 Cranford 49 8 wins, 12 losses First Row: Jean Laurent — Manager, Sue Grausam, Kathy Aloia, Beth Avis — Co-Captain, Robin Lawyer — Co-Captain, Marie Barr, Cathy Frank- enbach, Greg Gorski — Coach; Second Row: Kathy Loder, Manager, Barbara Quackenbos, Karen Goski, Maura Clancy, Jackie Booth, Anne Cosenza, Terry Tiller. 123 Instead of drawing flies; Larry Cohen draws crowds.

Led by Captain Nick Sidorkis, the team maintained a nine hole average of 41.1, and placed second in the Confer- ence, County, and State Regional Championships. Its record in Dual Meet Competition was 15-2. The team was composed of Tom Ansbro with a 41.6 average, Jeff Campbell 41.4, Tom Kepping 40.1, Kevin Harrison 43.3, John Hearon 46.3 and Doug Bauer 45.5. Since most of last year’s team will be returning, the 1977 golfing season should be a successful one for WHS. Gery Conroy puts another one away with his forehand volley. Look out Borg, Schuvart is on his way! The Boys Tennis Team, under the new leadership of Coach Berardo, finished a very successful season with a 14-7 record. They were also Watchung Conference Champions. Brian Lynn, the captain of the team, played first singles, with Tom Chac- ko playing second singles. Joel Katz some- times played third singles while Doug Yearley, Steve Cohen, Rene Dieme and Andy Riederman were the two doubles players.

Our wrestlers, football, basket- ball, and soccer players would probably be very unhappy without cheerleaders. These girls give them incentive to play hard and to win. They start by emblazoning the school walls with posters, urging school and team spirit. Then they decorate the players’ lockers so that each team member knows that he is being rooted for individually. At the game, the cheerleaders’ true function is exhibited with their bursting energy and inspiring chants: they lead the crowd of spectators, forming a throbbing mass of what we call “spirit”. Our teams can always expect the best from our cheerleaders. Yes! These are the famous wrestling cheerlead- ers performing a newly learned skill, clapping hands!

Academically, you have earned national and state recog- nition in English, science, art, dra- matics, and music. In athletics, you have been largely responsible for State championships won thus far this year. During your years at Westfield High, you have appeared to believe that there are no bounds to your performance, and you have demonstrated the drive to do something beyond what you have already mastered. If there is anyone who believes that your class has been kept in cotton batting and cannot deal with the future, your achievements will certainly dispel such a false notion. The Class of 1977 is one of which the staff of Westfield High and I are proud and for whom we wish continued success. Albert Bobal, Principal Robert Petix In every organization there exists a certain group of people whose main interest and concern is keeping order and maintaining a balanced and harmonious atmos- phere. The administration of WHS each day faces and copes with this responsibility and does it well. Though to some of ua the mere word “administrator conjures up impressions of “billy club bearing student beaters” and “always out to lunch guidance counselors, these connotations are not deserved. Students don't realize that their counselors get just as many migraines as they do trying to make schedule changes. Our administrators direct and instruct students in assuming the qualities and responsibilities necessary for later life . . . Perhaps recognition of and gratitude for this service is not expressed now, however the impression of this concern and direction will make itself known to us in the future. After all, how many other schools have a vice principal on “the ten best dressed men’s list?” Guidance — There ore no problem students, only students with problems. V. F.

The custodians and secretaries work behind the scenes to keep the school running smoothly at all times. Custodians arrive at school early in the morning and can be found burning the midnight oil many nights a week. Secretaries are more than just the lucky ladies whose office is air conditioned in the summer, their fingers are worn and tired from all the memos, policies and forms typed throughout the year. Victims of physical injuries, fevers, headaches or “test nest period jitters” can always count on comfort and treatment from the Florence Nightingales of the medical suite.

These students are participating in the popular and successful work-study pro- gram. The program consists of two facets, the C.I.E, program and Distributive Education. C.I.E., Co- operative Industrial Education, trains students in technical and mechanical fields such as nursing, dental hygiene and manufacturing. They can work as aides at the Convalescent Center, gas station at- tendants or counter people at McDonalds. Distributive Ed, offers an introduction to students interested in business as a career. They are involved in such areas as retailing, fashion merchandising, banking and advertising. A nationwide organization, D.E.C.A., enables Distributive Ed. members to participate in fund raisers, competitions and conventions. Everyone involved in these programs attends school for half a day and works the other half as paid employees in an area of interest to them. The exposure and active involvement these students obtain serves as a springboard for continued study or work. Both the C.I.E. and Distributive Ed, programs offer valuable training and experience which aids students in career plan- ning and future jobs.

We choose from a vast array of fine and industrial arts courses. Instruction is easily accessible to the student and sufficient preparation can foe gained for those who are plann ing on a vocation after graduation from high school, rather than from college. Miracles occur in seconds as mere blocks of wood are sanded and shaped into arms for chairs and legs for tables. Potters at the wheel spin wonders out of day that was, prior to their artistic touch, nothing but a formless blob. Illusions are.created by the skilled brushstrokes of those who seek to create reality on paper. Some of the latest fashions blossom forth from the sewing machines of the girls in Horae Ec., and many new recipes are conjured up in the minds of innovative chefs who reside in the WHS kitchen. For the musically inclined, there is plenty of room for expression within the marching band, orchestra, and various choral groups. Their performances at football games, concerts, etc,, provide first rate entertainment. Whether inspiration directs us toward creation in either the fine arts or the industrial arts, our imaginations and talents are guided and developed toward the attainment of greater proficiency in our chosen area of creativity.

For many the highlight of the year is the International Language Kamival held in cooperation with all language classes.

From Comparative Religions and Modem European History to Sociology and Geopolitics. These studies offer students the opportunity to acquire a deeper knowledge and appreciate their interests. The effort to involve students in the current events of community and nation results in ac- tivities such as taking polls, interviewing poli- ticians, studying the pornography problem on 42nd Street, and other techniques appropriate to the search for answers to problems plaguing our society. Ultimately some WHS graduate may run for public office or assume other civic responsibilities, but the aim of the History Department is to also serve those who merely desire to know more about the world around them. We are more concerned with developing skills in the processes of thinking than in the memorization 147 of facts. R. A.

For this reason, some teachers will forever remain in our memory. One member of the WHS faculty who has had such impact on her students is Miss Lois Chew. A member of the mathematics department for twelve years. Miss Chew not only generated class interest in her subject, but also developed warm, friendly re- lationships with her students. Miss Chew challenged and nurtured the abilities of her pupils at all levels. Her attitude was one of genuine concern for the growth of each individual, and her dedication, in- volvement and patience surpassed the boundary of a teacher’s commitment, Miss Chew’s vitality and cheerfulness created an exciting classroom atmos- phere. Her students were constantly aware of her special qualities; they appreciated greatly the enthusiasm, unlimited energy and knowledge which she demonstrated every day of her teaching career. The news of Miss Chew’s death on October 19, 1976 was received with much sorrow by many on the faculty and in the student body. The success of her efforts will not be forgotten, for the people she has influenced have benefitted greatly from her bril- liance and her kindness. An annual mathematics award has been established as a tribute to the dedi- cation of this fine teacher, Miss Lois Chew. 151 Margaret Bjerklie Algebra II, Basic Trigonometry, Trigo- Karen Citron nometry Algebra II, Math C Helen Coe Geometry, Algebra II— Trigonometry Kathleen Stephens Geometry, Trigonometry, Algebra III Carol Conte Algebra II, Math C Richard Gelfand Geometry, Algebra I Elizabeth Gromlich Algebra I, Algebra IIand III MATHEMATICS mathematics (math o-mat iks) the study of number, form, arrangement and associated relationships, using rigorously defined literal, numerical and operational symbols. Believe it or not, this is what most of us have been taking since first grade. We'Ve come a long way, from simple addition and subtraction to algebraic equations, trigonometric functions and calculus. As we progress, the work seems to get harder and more frustrating, some of us give up entirely. It was such a relief to make it through theorems, area, and word problems, just to be hit with logs, integrals, minima and maxima. How many after- noons were spent getting extra help just so you could pass the next day? How often did you wish that your book had the answers in the back? Thank the Lord for cal- culators and the math resource center! Also a new pro- gram, Self-Pacing Algebra II, was introduced this year in order to give students the chance to study the subject at their own speed. Rumor has it, that if this program succeeds, it may be tried in other courses as well. Nothing compares to the feeling of finally understand- ing a concept that has eluded you for weeks. After months of homework, hours of studying, and dozens of tests; the many aspects of math tend to fall together info a logical, if not comprehend able pattern, making all that work worthwhile. No matter what your field of endeavor, math will be needed. 152 K. B.

With such diversity, it is easy to see why so many students take a science. For those who have, there are fond memories of fun-filled lab periods and of long nights spent fudging data.

The wider variety of activities now available allows both males and females to select favorite physical exercises from badminton to weight- lifting. Of course complications may arise when girls get pinned with wrestling and guys are waltzed into modern dance. But even these far-fetched possibilities add to the enjoyment of the new approach to co-ed competition. In spite of the seniors' loss of the first choice privilege, the new gym program is nevertheless a welcome change! Blending physical fitness with mental development for the complete person. J. H.

STARTING OUT Reminiscing about the first few weeks of sophomore year can be quite funny. Remember all the traumatic events such as using a map to get around, or finding the courage to ask a senior for directions? The transition from junior to senior high can be a big shock. We are subject to ridicule many times. The old saying, “Wait ’til I’m a senior, I’ll show those sophomores!”, does little to comfort our wounded pride. Sophomore year presents a terrific blow to our egos. We move from our elevated status in 9th grade to become once again the lowliest members of the student body. However, we can take solace in the fact that the seniors will experience this same situation in a matter of months. Sophomore year also includes many academic challenges. Our first thesis paper may well be one of the most devastating efforts of our lives. We must meet the demands of new courses and adjust our standards to those of the WHS faculty. Socially, we view ourselves as outcasts: we are restricted from senior open-house parties and cruising on Friday nights. Sophomore year memories are mostly amusing, but some of our experiences may remain uncomfortably in our minds for some years to come. The sophomores look younger every day. Steve Brown and Kevin Burns emerge from the depths of WHS. I hate to tel! you, but Biology is one of the more exciting classes you’ll take in WHS. Andi Privitere shows the typical sophomore’s reaction to a thesis paper. 212 Senior John Diorio tries to convince sophomore Sean Dugan that it’s a real beard. A favorite pastime of WHS’ers — people- watching outside of the cafeteria. In the never-ending battle to purify the school, senior Ken Kirkwood bottles up a sophomore. 213 I’m all yours! On the first day of school, all sophomores have this dazed look. Bruce Hend and David Buchsbaum learn that lunch is a good time to finish up homework. Sophomores become quickly educated in the methods of acting strange. Beth Gilligan, Rosemary Quintana and Maggie Gibbs sit in the courtyard. The hardest part of the whole sophomore experience is the begin- ning, Much readjustment is required to get into the swing of things. We walk down the halls that first day feeling lost and searching for a familiar face. Each new day brings the discovery of more and more people we know and we soon feel right at home — newly accepted members of the senior high school jungle. At first teacher demands seem impossible but gradually we learn how to accomplish volumes of work in limited periods of time. South siders and North siders alike find that those from the “other side of the track” aren't so bad. Once the cor- ridor maze has been mastered and friendly familiar faces surround us, congratulations are in order. We have passed the sophomore survival test with flying colors. GETTING USED to rr Sophomore Nellie Barrett seems preoccupied. Sophomores in English II attentively study the genres. 214 Fred Budden seems to be a typical, lost sophomore. It doesn’t take long for sophomores to learn the fine art of decorating lockers. y r Jayne Cannon uses a school map. A sophomore finds a companion at his own level. 215 As Juniors, we return to school in September with an aura of self- confidence. We’ve made it through the torment of Sophomore year and have adjusted to the fast pace of Westfield High. We are greeted by the familiar faces of the faculty and student body and expect a great year. Then, suddenly, we confront an enormous work load. Too soon come PSAT’s, College Night, SAT’s, and achievement tests. We must do some serious thinking as to our future. And, of course, our junior grades are often the deciding factor in the acceptance of our preferred college. Exams and thesis papers can be handled with more competence, but unfortunately they pop up more frequently. Every Junior will breathe a sign of relief in June, when the hardest and “most important year is finally over. MORE OF THESAME Marie Farley tries to measure the volume of one drop of water, Sally Schaffer grasps a difficult concept. Finally able to get computer time. Peter Decker tries to finish before the period ends. 216 Unable to find a seat in the cafeteria, Debbie Valenti settles for a wall. The Scarlet Letter imposes its usual effect on Don Goldberg. Straggling with the work load of the Junior year, Danny Kelly gets the necessary material for his homework. A Junior is like peanut butter in a sandwich always in the middle, never on top. 217 Mares eat oats and Does eat oats and Alice Greek eats ivy. Traveling incognito, they figured they would never be seen together in public. Grant “G.B,” Bode, as usual, in his down vest, takes lunch •with a grain of salt. Seniors Laura Brown and Jim Longenbach demonstrate to Juniors Felicia Reynolds and Jacquline Hodes how to get plastered. Participating in an activity common to all seventeen year olds, Sandy Earl and Jane Sofman leam to operate a car starting with the door and window. During a break, Janice Costa sucks an orange for quick energy. 213 THE GOOD LIFE Set the schoolwork aside and Junior year becomes almost tolerable. No longer is there the anxiety of meeting and impressing new people. We have found our niche in the social life at WHS and are comfortable with special groups of friends. Junior year represents a time for growth. We anticipate the many exciting experiences available such as sports and clubs. With never a lack of things to do, our principle problem is to find time for everything in our tight schedules. As juniors, we relate to and are accepted by both seniors and sophomores. The access to weekend parties now allows us to spend nights away from the drudgery of studying and thesis papers. Of course, it's also easier to get around town with a new driver’s license. Getting the license is often the most anticipated event of the year, especially for those fortunate enough to celebrate “17 early in the year. It’s a great feeling not to be the youngest anymore. Being a junior is a giant step up the Ladder. Tod ‘slick Sawicki and Sue Bronston show two different reactions to the same story. Working in chemistry, David Cummings serves a precipitation reaction. Lynn Ellen entertains an English class with her dulcimer. Dan Bodner, in his normal stupor, tries to scare away the photographer. What do toilet paper, jocks and screaming have in common? Decorating the houses of football players before a big game, of course. 219 Nice teeth, Tibbs! Palma Basto and friend brighten up the hallways.

BEGINNING OF THE END September, the first day of school: We walk through those doors, seniors at last. We sneer at the newly imported sophomores. When re- questing directions to the cafeteria, a sopho- more is pointed towards the portables. We soon lose interest in sophs because itTs time to hit the books. Parents tell us that the senior year is the easiest. We now realize that our parents must have spent theirs in a coma. The work is overwhelming. Two thesis papers a night is a bit much. In response to our complaints, teachers say “Now that you're seniors, you can handle it.” To most of us, our senior year is not “a breeze.” It's a hurricane. Study gives way to gossip as Mary Ann Van Grieken and Holly Hedborg catch up on the latest details. Sara Strock really gets into her music. 221 The locker was a small but important part of senior life. They managed to put out the Hi’s Eye weekly to inform and entertain us. The WHS experience includes many such intellectual conversations. The school, which is so much a part of our life, is now a part of our past. 222 GETTING ACCEPTED!! After three years, anything would taste good. All year we’ve been saying “When will we ever get out?!” but toward the end of May, we see that our high school years have flown by all too quickly. We have a bitter-sweet attitude toward these final days. Leaving our friends and favorite teachers is heartbreaking. It was nice going to a school which has always had winning football teams and performing choraleers on tour, but now more serious con- siderations are at hand, namely jobs or college. Our last days are full of sadness and excite- ment — we worry through exams, plod through graduation rehearsal, rush to sign yearbooks and say goodbyes. We laugh a lot and cry a little! We find that leaving is a simple matter; we empty lockers and walk out the door. Although we leave empty lockers behind us, we take with us all the memories and im- pressions of our high school years.

Early morning rehearsals, white and blue starched caps and gowns, pushing and shoving to find your place in line, long speeches, hearing your name called, walking up to the podium, shaking hands and smiling automatical- ly as we receive our sheepskin, congratulations of friends and family, parties . . Graduation is a whirl wind of excitement and tears. After the hassles, preparations and fun of graduation, seniors are faced with new responsibilities. In shaping our futures, some of us will choose business and trade oc- cupations, while others seek to further their education in college. Whatever our decisions concerning our future are, we, as a class are separating. Geographically, we will be parted. Cars, planes, and train will carry us in different directions, as we seek our various pursuits. Spiritually, however, we will always remain united by our memories of Westfield. Graduation... an end or a beginning? Growing up in Westfield has been an experience which each of us will look back on with mixed emotions. While our memories may differ, this experience is our common denominator and despite varying impressions of suburban life, we should consider ourselves lucky to have lived here. Westfield offers a variety of activities for those who wish to broaden and develop their inter- ests. Our geographical location allows us to enjoy the cultural richness of New York City, the sun and surf of the Jersey shore, the natural beauty of the Watchung Mountains as well as the comforting familiarity of a home town. Life in this homogenous, upper middle class community will soon give way to encounters with people of varied perspectives and backgrounds. Such en- counters will expand our outlooks, deepen our insights, and greatly influence the formulation of our life values. 314 “What’s going to happen after I graduate?” How often this thought has crossed our minds. Whether it be after high school or college, most of us will soon be on our own looking for employment. The jobs and responsibilities that we assume will reflect the wide diversities of our personalities. The spectrum of opportunities available for satiating our interests is immense. “What will I be when I grow up?” is now very real, challenging, and important. The time has come to begin to question our interests, and it is difficult to tell which way we will turn. There is such a wide variety of jobs that the choice is mind boggling. Many of us will end up commuting into a city where we will hold jobs such as company representatives, stock- brokers, or possibly investment managers. After a great deal of education and training some of us will become doctors, nurses, or lawyers. A few might even return to the school system and wind up on the other side of the desk. Quite a few of us will never attend college, but be- come secretaries, mechanics, and salesmen, or any number of occupations. We will soon be on our own starting families, establishing businesses and developing new lives. We will be faced with new opportunities and demands, and hopefully with a little luck and a lot of work we will be able to fulfill our dreams. 316 7 ,.sf n ycor mJA JO.
