Juniors and Seniors rushed home in an- ticipation of the great time they were going to have. All the plans they had made and dreamed of would finally come to pass. Each had visions of a fabulous night to come, with their good friends, dancing every dance and visit- ing with one other. Each couple tried to spend time with their senior friends who would be graduating in June. The prom was surely a night to be remembered and, although it did not last forever, the memories definitely will. Thanks to Mr. Scott and Mrs, Allebaugh, the spe- cial aides of the prom Anthony Cannatelli and Wendy Lemke dance the night away Scott Aquilo, Danielle DiFiore, Tracy Martin, and Pete Vierno anticipate a great evening.

At 2:00, the entire stu- dent body of Westfield High School came together to show their dedica- tion and support for our athletes. There was a feeling of pride and spirit in all of us. The Pep Rally prepared us for the following Saturday, Spirit Day, which was a day full of WHS sporting events from almost every sport. All in all, it was a great start to a new sea- son and a new year of athletics. The pep rally was just one more indication which showed that the WHS student body is a step above 7 Storting the season off1 The marching band begins the pep rally 14 Student Life Lett, The Blue Devil rouses spirit.

Student Life 15 16 Student Life Nickolas Nickleby Nicholas Nickleby by Charles Dickens is the story of a young man in England during the 1800's. After his father's death, Nicholas decides he must take care of his mother and sister. He goes off to a boy's school where he sees the brutality of Mr. Wack- ford Squeers and his wife. Nicholas turns the brutality against Squeers and frees poor Smike, the chief brunt of Squeers' brutality. From here on Nicho- las's mission become righting the wrongs of London. The play is the essence of Dickens's most theatrical novel, a parade of colorful characters: wicked uncle Ralph; stylish Madame Mantalini; de- cayed Arthur Gride, pitiable orphan Smike, the winsome Cherryble broth- ers; lovely Madelaine Bray; scheming Lady Hawk; and the amazing Crum- mels with their seedy theatre troupe. Standing above all the villains is the infamous, wicked Wackford Squeers, who with his horrible wife and daugh- ter, runs his dreadful school with his cane and tablespoons of foul tasting medicine. Nicholas Nickleby is a delightful blend of comedy, mystery, and melodrama with the hero triumphing over the villain as could only have happened in Victorian England.

Student Life 17 SENIORS STEP OUT Say Cheese’ One of the many new additions to W.H.S. was open lunch — although it wasn't new to some. This meant that seniors didn't have to sit in the over- crowded cafeteria Getting to lunch by either foot or car usually was not a prob- lem, except for the students who won a spot in the parking lot lottery. Just re- member, NO TRANSPORTING UN- DERCLASSMEN' In contrast to many administrators' worries, seniors were able to eat, socialize, and return to their next class in the allowed time of forty minutes. Some of the places most vis- ited by students were: Roots, Dukes, McDonalds, Burger King, Genneros, Fer- raros, and Roy Rogers. With all of these different places to eat, some seniors chose to return home to eat. For some, open lunch meant getting extra lunch money from Mom and Dad or from your own savings, but it was definitely worth not having to eat in the school cafete- ria. We proved that we were responsible and ready for the world! This Roy Rogers sign became a familiar sight to seniors who were allowed to go out for lunch 18 Left, Big Mac, Filet of Fish, Quarter Pounder, French Fries Below; Way to go, Paul' This lonely cry is heard across the restaurant Jon and Peter smile contently as they leave school grounds for a gourmet meal 19 Senior Tom Cassidy is ecstatic over being voted Homecoming King.

A Tradition Above the Rest The WHS annuo! homecoming ceremo- nies took place on November 23, The afternoon got off to a great start with the first ever homecoming parade which be- gan at Roosevelt Intermediate School and ended in Mindowaskin Park. Spectators were delighted to see a tradition of the homecoming parade begin. WHS sports teams and dubs were represented in the parade. The homecoming candidates were driven through town as part of the parade. Later that evening, the annual bonfire invoked spirit in us. WHS graduates re- turned to join in the festivities of the bon- fire. Following the bonfire, a reception was held in Cafeteria 8 where the homecoming King and Queen were to be announced. The candidates tor King were Tom Cas- sidy, Chris Cognetti, Benton Cummings, and Randy Wojcik, The candidates for Queen were Amy Flynn, Kit Kendeigh, Amanda Ross, Cece Stark, and Marli Vo- gel. And the 1988 Homecoming King and Queen were , . . Tom Cassidy and Marli Vogel. Thanksgiving day marked another end of the custom with the annual Westfield versus Plainfield football game. This year, our football team was victorious with a score of 7-6, This year's homecoming brought in a melange of the old and new. The home- coming Queen and King, the bonfire, and the football game were followed in by the new homecoming parade. Marli Vogel is crowned Homecoming Queen Student Life 21 Feel The Rhythm Music is a part of every student's life. Most student spend their money on tapes, albums, or CD's. Some people do more than just listen to music; they make it. The average band in high school is just out to have fun but some are following a dream to become famous. High school years are the beginning of a chance to achieve that dream. They spend hours practicing or jamming. There have been several Radical Rock Concerts the past year and many people went to hear their friends or classmates and perhaps future stars. Nota- ble bands this year were the Even Stevens and Navaria, Some bands that were formed at WHS have stayed together after graduation, trying to break into the music scene by playing at various clubs or even making albums and tapes. The Fundamentals, Whirling Dervishes, and the Union Bells are a few among these bands. The ultimate goal of the bands is to become A Step Above the rest 22 Student Life Graduates Ai Brand and Tim Glynn, The Union Bells, following their dream to become A Step Above'' other bands.

Some people think school should be a student's only job; but if you go into almost any store in town you'll find many who disagree. Most people feel that as long as the job does not interfere with schoolwork, it is good to have one. The money's usually the reason for the job, but it also gives people who are not involved with a sport something to do after school, and it teaches responsibility. The downside can be working on weekends instead of spending time with friends or getting that necessary rest. A job has become a necessity for many, especially seniors. The majority of seniors have jobs and need them for all their expenses such as cars, weekends, and college. Many sophomores and juniors work, as well as some freshman. Working can be a good experience, and even if you don't love your job, the paycheck makes it worth it!

Student Life 25 Westfield High School goes back to the boppirY 50's with its production of Grease. The musical is a story of simple days, teenage romance, and school life at Rydell High. Along with the many on- going plots, Danny Zuko, the Burger Palace Boy, has to decide whether to go with his heart or with his friends Sandy Dumbrowski has to decide whether to keep her sweet, wholesome, naive San- dra Dee-like personality, or become a hip Pink Lady. Lots of hard work and precious time was put into this production. Many thanks go to Mr. Nierle, Mr. Beil, and Susann Kalitan tor their support and guidance This all proves how well WE GO TOGETHER.

Student Lite 27 $t€M €F THE TiMES FASHION: n. 1. the current style or custom, as in dress or behavior; the mode for the present. This text- book definition does not do justice to the diverse styles seen in the halls at WHS. This year many individuals defined their own sense of style while others chose to follow already established fashion trends. The preppy style including rugbys, Levis, faded and pinned at the ankle, Bass Bluchers and classic keds took ev- eryone a step above. L.L. Bean and Jansport bookbags were found on the shoulders of every fashion-con- scious student, and Liz Claiborne seems to have cornered the market in purses. If preppy was just not the fashion statement you wished to make, vintage clothing, artsy village garments and basic black were very popular. Clothes make the man, but man can also make his clothes as was evident from the profusion of tie-dyed t-shirts, boxers, and socks. Whatever style you followed or created, diversity was definitely the key word when describing fash- ion at WHS. above.

Ah, music to our ears! The word vacation is one which makes the wait for summer a bit more bearable. It means that we actually have more than two days to do anything we want. Wheth- er one looks forward to sleeping, shopping, skiing, visiting friends or relatives, or just nothing at all, it is rare that a student complains about having a vacation. Some people were lucky enough to go somewhere warm during the winter months and to come back to school brown and healthy looking. Many went to resorts in various parts of the world or to Grandma's condo in Florida. Some went on skiing trips to Colorado, Vermont or the Poconos and had a great time racing down the slopes and drinking hot chocolate. A targe ma|ority of students stayed home and simply relaxed and enjoyed the change of pace from the rigorous school days. All in alt every- one enjoyed the chance to recharge. How could they not enjoy sleeping past sunrise? 30 Student Life Oo° w THE ANTIDOTE FOR CIVILIZATION™ «-ANADA Student Life 31 Winter Wonderland Semi-Formal Dance Dancing the night away Steve Cohen, an expert at the art of limboing.

Student Life 33 A Step ■t---------------------------------- In the News In addition to our everyday WHS announcements, we got a taste of world and national news as well. This year's main event was the 1988 Presidential Campaign, which ended with the election of President George Bush and Vice- President J. Danforth Quayle. Prior to the election, President Ronald Reagan ended his eight-year term with a visit from Soviet Premier Mikhail Gorbachev. Unfortunately, the historic visit was cut short due to the devastating earth- quake in Armenia. Neighboring New York City hosted Princess Diana on her first trip to the Big Apple. Many people lost some faith in the airline system of transportation follow- ing the fateful Flights 103 and 8U, the Eastern Airline Strike and various threats from terrorist groups. Unfortunately, the word terrorism became a big part of our vocabulary, being connected with Flight 103 and the British author Salman Rushdie's book, The Satanic Verses. This was labeled blasphemous by many Moslems, including the Ayatollah Khomeni of Iran, who eventually put a mulit-million price-tag on the head of the author. The entertainment world once again was the source of various controver- sies, most of which started out private but ended up public. Rockstar Madon- na initiated controversy when her video Like A Prayer was banned in some countries, as well as her divorce from bad boy Sean Penn.

Included were open lunch, free flow, l.D. cards, and also the addition of the freshman class and the change to the four-year high school. The privilege of open lunch was warmly received by the seniors who proved that they could handle the responsibility. Free-flow was a controversial policy. It allowed students to travel freely through the halls without a pass, as long as there was no congregating ' I D. cards gave a new twist to school rules. Students were re- quired to have cards available at all times in case they were asked to identify themselves to a teacher. Those students without their I D. cards were given two hours of detention. The first class of freshmen at WHS took a giant step into our corridors, classrooms, and cafeteria, our lives and hearts. Their terrifying energy and many talents have added a spirited fourth dimension to our school community.

Diaz and Melissa Williams smile as they try to conceal the crack they have made in the window. We've reached the end of our trail at Westfield High School. Nights of endless applications engulfed us, but those nights have proved worthwhile because we have been accepted to colleges. No more SAT's, no more applications. This year was our chance to be a step above as upperclassmen. We gained the special privilege of open lunch and, in addition, were the first class to receive student I D. cards. Maintaining top grades during the first semester caused us a bit of stress. With the arrival of the second semester, however, came senioritis. Some of us suffered an aching for graduation. Ending the year we had the prom, graduation, and the senior banquet to celebrate the end of our years at Westfield High School, but also the beginning of our future. iOVE • A STEP ABOVE - A STEP ado-v JOVE • A STEP A80VE .

They have succeeded in a year which requires intensive study: they have written research papers, taken the PSAT's and the SAT's. They have been called upon to work to the best of their capabilities. New responsibilities are taught to them for they must carry around an egg-baby for a week. It sounds tough, but they had fun along the way. Clubs, varsity sports, jobs, and other extracurricular activities slowed down the fast pace. A driver's license and senior privileges are the immediate aims of the junior. Meanwhile the junior looks to college and a career in the future. He is prepared to prosper in the world after completing this demanding year In all, juniors had to work hard to succeed, but in the end, they will turn out to be a step above the rest. lBOVE i p OVE - - BOVE S.BOVE miove • ABOVE above ABOVE A S i A STEP .

A STE • A 5 Making the transition from junior high to high school is always a big step for Westfield students. This year it was an even greater challenge. Our three-year high school became a four-year high school. The incoming freshmen were put to the test and succeeded with flying colors. They overcame directions to the pool and the third floor from students who clearly were not a part of the Buddy System. The class of '92 proved to the upperclassmen that they would not be stepped on. They went through the first few weeks looking lost and bewildered; however, as every- one does, they found their way to the library and the cafeteria and, more impor- tantly, found their place at WHS.

We earn our reputation by working hard to ultimately meet our individual goals. It is important to have a good education in order to prepare for the future. Our school offers o variety of courses to choose from which enable us to achieve our goals Subjects offered range from Journalism to Biology II A P to Independent Living This way, we have the opportunity to take courses that interest us as individuals. Although we are forced to conquer many challenges including the dreaded thesis paper, achievement tests, and the dissection of a frog, when stu- dents graduate from Westfield High School, they leave with a real sense of accom- plishment setting them A Step Above the rest. o Academic Divider 145 below: Junior Allison Rosner can't keep a straight face while concentrating on the true sig- nificance of The Scarlet Letter. right: Cathy Lu and Peter San- anman do extensive research on Curious George for their ju- nior term paper, bottom left: Tom Cassidy smiles with delight as Mrs. Nolde as- sures him that he will get into the college of his choice, bottom right; Phil Gallagher re- fuses to let a moment slip by without reviewing his vocabu- lary words. 146 Academics Creative Escape top: Mary Moore Parham and Rachel Rubenstein discover that teamwork really does get the job done, left: Mrs. Rahault takes a deep breath after having an enlightening discussion with her English class, above: Mrs. Donnelly and Chris Ward work together to find the correct spelling of the word transcendental- ism.” All English courses offered at Westfield High School, from Fresh- man English I to English IV A.P., share one common characteristic. Each class gives us an opportunity to escape our everyday surround- ings to faraway places in the past, in the present, and in the future. We enjoy these experiences by reading novels, jumping into exciting discus- sions, and yes, we must not forget all of those papers. When a teacher assigns a paper, our common reactions are groans. We plead with our teachers to post- pone the assignments, but to no avail. We usually end up working until the early morning hours. Mirac- ulously, we manage to hand them in on time. This is quite an achieve- ment, and somewhere along the line, we eventually learn that pro- crastination is not worth all of the stress and anxiety that it causes. Although we may feel overworked and often wish that our teachers would ease up, our accomplish- ments enrich today and promise to be valuable for the future. For the world we enter in English class will stay with us forever.

With the 9th grade in the high school system, the Social Studies Department is growing by leaps and bounds. For the first time, 9th grad- ers were able to take Cultures, a new course. Other courses offered to us included European History, Survey, Heritage, and Issues. We can study the history of our great country and other countries from prehistoric times all the way through the present. For those of us who really want to explore the wonders of history, our school gives us the opportunity to take challenging ad- vanced placement courses in American History, European Histo- ry, and Government. Also, there are many social studies electives such as International Relations, Sociolo- gy, Psychology, Introduction to Law, Comparative Religions, Eco- nomics, and Anthropology, We have to work hard in our so- cial studies classes preparing out- lines, taking tests, writing essays, and extracting information from many different sources. We always have to be on our toes ready for surprise quizzes and oral exams. Most of all, the Social Studies De- partment encourages us to explore many dimensions of the world and our place in it.

As if English were not enough, we have an opportunity to learn a sec- ond language such as French, Ger- man, Italian, Latin, or Spanish. In ad- dition, this year we were offered a no grade, no credit course in Rus- sian. Some students have even be- gun to study a third language. How- ever, by taking a foreign language course, not only do we learn to speak, read, and write the lan- guage, but the study of its culture has become an intricate part of the courses as well. Each language goes above and beyond the classroom and allows us to become more aware of cultures through such ac- tivities as the Latin Saturnalia and the German Wintermarkt. This year, Westfield High School decided that students do not need to wait until junior high or high school to begin studying a foreign language. Therefore, our school sent exceptional foreign language students to elementary school stu- dents involved in the ALP program in order to introduce various foreign languages to them. Nevertheless, whether we started learning a for- eign language in elementary, junior high, or high school, we all have be- come increasingly aware of other cultures through the foreign lan- guage course. To certain students at our school, English is in fact a foreign language which they must learn. Just as any other foreign language, these stu- dents come to learn about the cul- ture and language. However, unlike other students, they have the ad- vantage of living in the country where their foreign language is spoken. This enables ESL students at our school to become accus- tomed to the English language and culture.

'Those grave and beautiful games that numbers play with one another from everlasting to everlas- ting. (Kitto) Did you ever realize how much we use math in our day to day lives? Often, we tend to think that all of those theorems and equations that we are forced to memorize will nev- er be useful to us in the future. How- ever, much to our surprise, we will use applications of math in our ev- eryday lives. Just think — we will all need to know how to balance a checkbook, figure out tips, fill out tax returns, etc . . . Our school of- fers several math courses including geometry, algebra, trigonometry, and calculus. We must take at least two years of math courses to fulfill our graduation requirements. How- ever, many of us take three or four years of math courses. When we learn a new equation or theorem, math can often look like a foreign language. Eventually, what may seem impossible at first will soon become possible as our teach- ers help us to understand difficult problems. Also, students may elect to take Introduction to PASCAL, Probabil- ity and Statistics, and computer sci- ence. The computer courses of- fered at our school enable us to learn numerous computer lan- guages. Probability and Statistics, a semester course, is geared to teach statistical procedures. In any case, both the required and elective math courses are aimed at helping us to prepare for our futures and to reach step above.

I didn't know that was in the cafeteria food. Through the science courses of- fered at our school, we are able to learn about our surrounding envi- ronment, atmosphere, and the en- tire world. The Westfield High School Science Department en- courages students interested in the field of science to learn and reach for their highest level of understand- ing. The science teachers also make science more interesting and fun to learn for those of us whose futures do not lie in the science field. Once a week, each science course has a lab which lasts for two periods. During the labs, we have the opportunity to have a hands on experience. Labs range from dissecting a frog in Biology, litmus paper experiments in Chemistry, and several ticker tape labs in Phys- ics. Environmental science classes take several field trips to interesting places including Raritan Valley Sewage Authority, the Great Swamp, and Cheesequake Park. One of the best aspects of the science department is the freedom for students to visit the science re- source room during a free period. Here we can talk to our teachers or study in a relaxed and peaceful at- mosphere. The science department bridges the gap to a world of labora- tories and test tubes and makes it a little more fun for everyone.

J56 Academics ■ Get In Shape From running the everlasting 600 meters in the September heat to fighting for victory in team handball, the Physical Education department encourages all students to actively participate and enjoy the activities. This year, for the first time, students were introduced to square dancing as one of the activities in gym class. Other activities included volleyball, softball, fitness, weight training, archery, project adventure, etc . . . Along with exercising in Physical Education class, students learned about sex, drugs, and alcohol and family relationships in Health class. During our junior year, the health teachers carry out a unique project. By requiring juniors to create and take care of egg babies, as if they were real children. Students exper- ience the many difficulties and re- sponsibilities of raising a family. By the end of our four years, we gain an understanding of our physical and emotional relationships within our society. Academics 157 The Contemporary Living and indus- trial Arts courses at Westfield High School allow us to choose numerous electives in which we have an interest or future career goal. The Contemporary Living courses in- clude Modern Foods, Independent Liv- ing, and Child Growth and Develop- ment. Modern Foods teaches students to plan meals involving aspects of cost, time, and preparation. Independent liv- ing classes answer many questions we have about applying for a job, selecting a place to live, and generally how to plan for the future. We are also offered courses in the area of Industrial Arts, including Archi- tectural Drawing, Woods, and Graphic Arts. These electives allow students the opportunity to use their imaginations and create individual projects. Not only are the Contemporary Living and Industrial Arts good courses to take, but they will prove useful in the future.

Imagine That . . . 158 Express Yourself The Fine Arts program ranges from teaching the novice student the basic principles of art and music to enhancing the talents of an ex- perienced student. The Art I course introduces the basic design and concepts involving both abstract and natural subjects. In more advanced art courses, stu- dents go further in depth in tech- niques in drawing, painting, and sculpting. The Fine Arts Department also offers numerous courses in voice and music. Voice classes offered in- clude Voice Class I through IV. These classes are geared to help the individual student to progress in areas of vocal technique, musician- ship, and stage presence. Many stu- dents participate in choir which pro- vides a good experience in terms of technique, sightsinging, and perfor- mance. The music program gives students an opportunity to play an instrument in Marching band, Sym- phonic band, String Orchestra, and Symphony Orchestra. Also, Public Speaking and Drama are offered which develop a stu- dent's communication process. This is very important in today's so- ciety and will help in future success.

Top: Pillar Rodriguez molds a piece of clay. 159 Many students participate in an alternate academic program called Project '79, This program evolved in 1979 and was designed to prepare students for college in a smaller classroom setting while covering the same material taught in the tradi- tional courses. The program has proved very successful thanks to its hard working teachers who moti- vate their students to do their best, Students involved in Project '79 are able to learn in a good environ- ment with more personal attention than they would be given in the tra- ditional classes. The teachers are able to spend more time with individ- ual students. Students take English, science, social studies, mathematics, and physical education health classes. The students are able to earn at least 25 credits each year. Howev- er, several students are encouraged to take electives or languages in which they have an interest. above: Mr. Seiler quickly reviews for tomorrow's test with his students, below left: Jason Zeegan and Mrs. Perry are all smiles for the camera, below: Lori Barhoge, Laura Hemanaz, and Lorraine Liszewski brainstorm ideas for their research paper. below: Lori Barhage, Laura Hemanaz, and Lorraine Liszewski brainstorm ideas for their research papers.

Stu- dents who develop an interest in one of the many business courses are able to move onto higher levels and possibly towards a future ca- reer. In Accounting I, students learn how to record business transactions and how to set up accounts for bu- sinesses. A second course is also of- fered which builds upon ideas from Accounting I. Typing and word processing have become a key skill in today's com- puter age ' These courses prepare students for both today as well as the future. Students learn how to type reports, job applications, and personal business letters. In Word Processing I, students learn to use today's software. The experience they achieve will aid them in their futures. below left: Denise Bittenbender completes yet another assignment, above: Monica Sharma receives some help from Mr. Ehrlich, below: Miraculously, Mary Fagan somehow manages to type a business letter without stealing a glance at the keyboard.

Our school gives us a chance to further broaden our horizons and to explore the real world through the Cooperative Office and Indus- trial Education and the Union Coun- ty Vocational Center programs. Un- like a traditional curriculum, stu- dents involved in these programs have an opportunity to be exposed to future career goals in business, marketing, health, clerical, and sec- retarial occupations. In the Voca- tional program, students take major subjects part of the day and then report to the Union County Voca- tional School to learn and train for a specific trade. Students wbo take part in the Cooperative Office and Industrial Educational programs take their major subjects in the morning. In the afternoon, they hold down a job ap- proved by the school for which they obtain school credits. Most importantly, both of these programs allow their students to plan, pursue, and practice future career goals of their choice. Academics 163 164 Spo, rh 0 'vide?

The team looks for- ward to a bright future because of a strong crop of underclassmen such as Phil Gallagher, Bush Dorsey, Dave Stravach, Dan Avis and Brian Leegan.

Sports 201 One Track Mind This year's winter track team was of a highly different composition from those of past years. There were a mere seven juniors and seniors on this year's team to lead the twenty-seven freshmen and sophomores So instead of the usual practice of intimidoting and terrorizing the running novices, these poor upper- classmen, led by captains Phil Gallagher, Dave Stravach, and Ed Dorsey, were forced to engage in less offensive activi- ties such as running and stretching. The outnumbered seniors managed to re- tain some semblance of order among the team, except for occassional at- tacks on miler and two-miler Brian Lee- gan, for whom no amount of protection sufficed to stave off the angry hordes of underclassmen. Nevertheless, led by the captains, juniors Dan Avis and Brian Leegan, and sophomore Mark LaCar- ruba, the team turned in many fine per- formances and looks forward to the ma- turity of the rest of the team. Led by seniors Chris Walsh and Jen Rulf, in the half-mile and mile respectively, the girls' team performed very well, placing im- pressively in both the country individuals and relays.

The choices range from the newly formed Surf Club, to the Key Club, and always, WHS had something for everyone. Clubs dealing with politics, stocks, current events, amnesty, and world peace; clubs that allow one to practice the traditions that occur in these clubs. Clubs that allow one, not only to get its general philosophy, but also to experience the ideas that the club sets forth, thus making WHS clubs, truly a step above. For many students, school does not end after ninth period, but rather at the close of a meeting. This produces a more well-rounded academic environment. Not only are there activities in the classroom, but also out of classrooms in clubs. And with the addition of the freshman class, there are even more activities to choose from.

Perhaps Senior Amy I'm bigger than you are” McFad- den summed up the year best when she said, How did those Romans manage to wake up the morning after and built those statues? 212 Extracurricular Fiesta! The Spanish Club is designed to organize activities for its members (such as field trips to restaurants, museums, or plays) to fundraise money for graduating seniors (last year we gave $1700 in scholarships); and last but not least to support a Mexican boy ($200 a year). We also participate in many school spirit activities, a few of which are the Valentine's Day Carnation Sale, the year's Halloween Candy Sale, and Carnival Night. It's definitely one of the most worthwhile clubs you'll ever join! Extracurricular 213 The Computer Club is a contest oriented club This year, the dub has increased in size as well as activities. The members are the traditional current A.P. Computer Science students and other students who hove great interest in computers. This year, the club, again, partici- pates in four major contests. In addition to the contests, the dub hosts speakers and performs demonstrations with different computer languages. With help from the advisor Ms. Trees and the president Dave Chou, the Computer Club has organized itself for another success- ful year. 214 Extracurricular The Volleyball Club has been in existence tor three years now. It was founded in 1 985 by Avon Chandler in his sophomore year. Each year has been successful for the club. The club meets one day a week after school during the fall season, and at the end of the spring season, and closes its year with a match against the Girl's Varsity Volleyball Team. Many thanks go to the advisor, Mr. Mark Pastir. Without his commitment of time and patience, the success of the club could not be. You've got to dig it! Extracurricular 215 Light It Up The Westfield High School Lighting Crew constitutes o group of freshmen, sophomore, junior, ond senior stu- dents who, through hours of dedicated work, and de- sign, hang, position, and then finally, execute the lights for all of the High School's theatric performances. In addition to these performances, we are also responsible for designing the lights for any groups that rent the auditorium. Anyone who has an interest in lights are welcome to join the Crew, no experience is necessary. Although we try our best, some complaints still remain from the actors that are in the shows we light. These complaints range from, Could you change that gel, it's an ugly color. to the most frequent, The lights are too bright! Despite all the complaints from the talent, the Lighting Crew Golden Policy has always been If you think the lights are too bright, CLOSE YOUR EYES!! 216 Extracurricular Think It Thru The Foundation is Westfield High School's very own bird-watching club. This year in the Foundation we went to an estuary and plugged up holes in the glass and made leather hand bags. We couldn't get the projector the first time and we almost didn't get the film the sec- ond. We took a trip to Israel, but the one to the Caribbe- an got cancelled due to inclement weather. We went to go see Chuck Close and his fingerpaint paintings at On- ion County. We all had options and we all bought rolls. We went to the club and watched the smooth criminal do back flips.

The Asian Awareness Club is relatively new to the school and as a result, is still developing. Arising from its early stage of development, comes its dependence on reliable and creative club members to suggest new and interesting activities that can be held during the school year. The basic goal of this club is to create a better understanding of the numerous Asian cultures of both past and present through activities relating to both clas- sic Asian lifestyles, and the more modern lifestyles of Asians in America. Another objective for the club this year will be to recognize and discuss the more serious topic of racism and the problems faced by first genera- tion Asian-Americans, Upper Right: Dave Chou ponders how to increase Asian Awareness in the school.

The club members' talents serve a dual purpose: as a means for both artistic expression and profit. The three main projects that the club sponsors are: 3-Dimensional pumpkins for Halloween, Christmas crafts, and Valen- tine's Day deliveries. The profits from these projects are then used toward the club's annual museum trip and also toward scholarships for Art Club members.

Ms. Jane Smalley, history teacher and participant in the Al- ternate Route Program, introduced members to the al- ternative route to teaching. Mrs. Gaile Boothe, club advisor and WHS math teacher, shared her feelings about the future of education in America. In general, the Future Teachers of America Club made students aware of the importance of teaching and encouraged members to continue their desire to be responsible for the education of the future leaders of America.

This year the German Club had its first annual Winter- markt. It was held on December 6 during periods 5-8 in the cafeteria. Along with the beautiful handmade craft items, cookies made by the German Club members were sold. The Wintermarkt was a great success, earning money for scholarships for German students. The Ger- man Club also had a very successful Holiday Party held at the Layer's house.

The Psychology Club, which was formed in the 1987- 1988 school year, was comprised of students who were interested in learning about the human psyche and why we behave the way we do. Meetings were held monthly and speakers were brought in to discuss many topics. A member of Covenant House spoke on teenage runaways, and the school psycholigist, Janice Sawicke, held a meeting to encourage students to think about a career in psychology, Refreshments were served at the meetings, and everyone involved enjoyed hearing from the various speakers.

Newcomers' Club was or- ganized by two of these new students, junior Gretchen Boger and sophomore Tina Stevens, in order to make friends and to become familiar with their new school and town. Although the purpose of the club this year is pri- marily social, the members plan to serve next year as a Welcoming Club for new students to ease the difficult transition to an unfamiliar school, student body, and community. Left: Tina and Jessie show Their happiness at being in Westfield E Extracurricular 227 The Surfing Club was designed to introduce the in- credible sport of surfing to WHS. Without the constant support of our advisor, Lorraine Besch, this task could never have been achieved. New Jersey's waves were surprisingly consistent this year. We made the afterschool surf trip to Long Branch almost daily and, occasionally, the wild adventure to Cape Hattara5 was taken as well. The sport of surfing is quickly gaining popularity on the East Coast, and the number of surfers at WHS is slowly growing as well. The surfing movies were a suc- cess as well as the Stop Ocean Dumping Petitions. The only hard thing to deal with this year was all the days when we were in some math class taking notes, while the surf was 5' and wind offshore. Good luck in the future, Jeff Pinkin Dan Haag Upper right: Jeff Pinkin in action.

Why have students continued to appear for all these years? For the sheer thrill of seeing Doc Stoneback in the morning? This theory was once highly considered but has since been discarded as utterly ridiculous. Could it be some need in students to be in the school six days a week and not just five? No, anyone with that problem would quickly be submitted for psychiat- ric observation. Alas, people don't come for compan- ionship; there was often too much of that the night before. The reason people come to Saturday Science is the donuts and cider. The lure of free food and drink, along with a dark hall in which to consume them, is irresistible to those with low levels of money and food. Of course, Doc Stoneback would say the Nobel prize winners are the draw, but we all know that's not true. Upper left; Dr Muzas and his son Brian share a glass of apple cider. Left: The Byrne brothers sign in at Saturday Science. Extracurricular 229 Rock-n-Roll Racial Rock Reactionaries is the music club for stu- dents who want to broaden their musical spectrum be- yond top 40. This is accomplished in three ways. The first way is through free after-school concerts. The second way is by showing free movies. The third and most important way consists of sponsoring evening concerts which pro- mote and display local bands. These bands include high school bands as well as many professional bands who have released records. RRR also produced a Musician's Directory for students who want to form their own bands. We had a very successful Halloween concert with 5.A.D.D. (Students Against Drinking and Driving) which featured Union Bells and the Cynics. Special thanks to Mr. Judd for his dedication and hard work as club advisor.

The Awareness Club was designed to keep minority identity alive and to instill in others the need to be sensitive to the minority student's plight in and out- side of school. The Awareness Club welcomed participa- tion by all students. The Awareness Club was involved in several activities, including a college tour of two Pennsylvania Colleges, Lincoln University and Cheyney University. Members of the club also attended a college fair hosted by Rutgers University. A car wash was held in May to raise money for scholarships to senior members. The highlight of the Awareness Club's year was its members participation in the Black History Program held on Thursday, February 16, 1989, in the library. Group discussion on race relations, films, guest speakers and performances by students highlighted the day's events. Left above: A group of Awareness Club members having a good time at a recent meeting. Left below: Mark Williams and Dwayne Glasgow strike a pose for their club. Extracurricular 231 ■ Simply Logic The Math League is a contest oriented club open to any student who wishes to participate. Usually the con- test is held early in each month from November and April. It is always held for thirty minutes, on a Tuesday after school. The problems on the tests are very chal- lenging as well as practical Students who participate in these contests feel a sense of accomplishment when they solve the problems. Overall, the Math League is one of the many clubs in WHS that is educational as well as intellectually stimulating and exciting. Thanks to the advisors Mrs. Hornish and Mr. Jacobsen, WHS once again scores high and wins letters for high achievement. Right: Rami Friedman tries to solve the last problem on the test Below; Students concentrate intensely on one of their many contests. 232 Extracurricular Proud Elephant With the 1988 Presidential Election, great awareness of political parties was stirred among our students here at WHS. So much interest about the candidates caused the formation of two new clubs, the Young Republicans and the Young Democrats. It was not hard for the Young Republicans to think of activities to do. After all, they have won the past three presidential elections, Ford, Reagan, Reagan, not to mention our new Presi- dent in 1989, George Bush. One of our biggest events this year was a mock Presidential debate with the Young Democrats. Speaking for the Republican side was co- President Carol Jones, and members John Feeney and John Macko. We also had a food drive around the Christmas holiday to benefit the homeless. Advisor Mr. Charles Brown and Co-Presidents Meg Yarnell and Carol Jones, emerged as seasoned campaigners.

Extracurricular 233 Chess Masters The Chess Club is more than just a club, it also is a chess team which competes in the Union County Chess Conference against other school teams. The team is comprised of members from the club. The club advisor is Mr. Goslin and officers are Presi- dent Oran Margulis and Vice President Adam Studs Cherensky. Other members of the team include Josh Youdovin, Ted Okuzumi, Kevin Toth, and Phillip Werner. Right: Mott Lonseth already ran out of plans only a few minutes after the game got started.

In August, members stuffed envelopes, collected papers, and dis- tributed signs so all would be ready for that first big day in September. Once the year started, things really got rolling. Treasurer Chris “Tabulator Shea spent hours counting the money raked in from unsuspecting teach- ers. Phil Gallagher organized the many worthy causes throughout the year. Mike “Do-Nothing Hamilton pri- marily delegated his duties so that he could catch those cartoons. We still don't know what Amy “Giggle McFadden did this year.

Extracurricular 235 Modem Women The Women's Studies Group was founded this year by a group of young women and their advisor Ms. Roy. The club seeks to increase student awareness of gender is- sues by studying women in literature and other media. Members held meetings to discuss readings and to see videotapes about women's issues. The club also orga- nized a week in honor of Women's History in March. Right: Kerry Weiss shows pensive thought after discussing early roles of womenhood in society.

Extracurricular 237 Wake Up Calls Singing, or more like trying to sing, at 7:30 in the morning is not something that your average high school student wants to do. For the Choraleers, though, this is a reality. Twenty-four talented singers make up the Chor- aleers and perform music ranging from madrigals to modern jazz. This year, apart from singing at the normal school concerts, the Choraleers sang at community concerts for the Rotary Club, the A.A.R.P., and others. A highlight was entertaining at the Mardi Gras Ball. It was another great year. Upper right: Amy Dayman tries to sing with emotion.

They held a Peace Day Celebration to commemorate the designation of WHS as a peace site. Speakers ad- dressed the issues of peace, globality, and alternatives to war. Other speakers informed the group about home- lessness and the Star Wars program. Club members and other students volunteered weekly at a soup kitchen in Newark, New Jersey.

It operates on a national and state level, and also is available in some colleges. Since this was the club's first year, we had a slow start, but managed to attend some seminars and competitions. Nonetheless FBLA was able to introduce and educate young adults into the business world. We demonstrated this idea at Westfield High School by hav- ing Business Day , a day when business owners came and talked to students about their business and how to achieve success. Even though the club this year has had difficulties starting, the foundation for a successful year next year has been set.

The Environmental Awareness Club contin- ued its success through- out its second year, Co- Presidents Miriam Mogen- dorf and Melissa Friedman along with advisor Mr. Gange helped to plan this year's activities. The pur- pose of the dub was to in- crease student awareness of various environmental issues. One of hte major undertakings of the dub this year was the start of the recycling program within the high school. Club members placed a box in the cafeteria where students could place their empty aluminum cans. The cans were then col- lected and brought to the town's recycling center. In addition to this project, the dub also discussed different environmental issues such as animal rights, radon, and the ozone crisis. Clean Up! Extracurricular 241 Shout Out the Colors! The 1988 Westfield Varsity Football Cheerleaders were successful in raising spirit this past football season. The cheerleaders started off their seoson at Cheering Camp where they received awards in performing excellence as well as proudly walking off with the NCA Spirit Stick. Also, they helped initiate new traditions at WHS with a spirit dance, new partner stunts and pyramids, and march- ing in the first Homecoming Parade. And of course, they attended the football dinners. The cheerleaders were led by Tri-Captains Lyree Burke, Kit Kendeigh, and Cecily Stark, and seniors Melissa McEnerney, Koller Walsh, and Travis Redd.

It hosted the second annual Westfield Invitational band competition and did extremely well. The marching band also played at Westfield High's first nighttime football game, which was a thrill not only for the band, but for everyone involved. This year's drum majors were Lisa Morrow and Caroline Howlett. They conducted the band during all the football games, the Homecoming and Halloween parades and the numerous competitions. In the spring the band ventured to Virginia Beach where they participated in parades and competitions. The band sold candy and fruit in order to raise money for their trip.

Hi's Eye has won several awards this year from the New Jersey Scholastic Press Association for its layout, writing and photos. The long list of awards continues throughout its history for journalism and photojournalism excellence. Hi's Eye is also one of the few high school newspapers in the state. Since Hi's Eye is a weekly newspaper, there is a lot of pressure on the editors to deliver a good newspaper under time restraints. This year, as with previous years, the editors have produced excellent and memorable issues and should definitely be commended.

Extracurricular 249 Ninety-Nine Percent Effort! “It's not eosy — you've got to be committed ' That's what the 1988-89 Weather Vane candidates were told be- fore they were chosen as members of the staff. Most of them agreed that the time commitment would be worth it in the end. As the year went on, many of us began to wonder what we had been thinking. But, as we look back and flip the pages of this book, we see our creative efforts in print and we realize that our hard work, frustration and time were truly rewarded. How many people showed up today? Where's Grace's tape, the one we've listened to 100 times? Chuckle, chuckle, chuckle Who's running to Roots?

Even though we, as students, always complain about the homework, tests, and papers they give us, we know that they are really great people who care about us, support us, and for seniors, write those recommendations for us.

Yes, nigh does have an exceptional teaching staff (which grew this year with the addition of 27 teachers), but let's not forget the other members of our WHS faculty. The guidance department, now with nine counselors, helps us change classes and decide on college and career choices. The secretaries in the main office, Office A, and guidance help keep the school organized. The support staff cleans up after us and keeps us well fed; and the administration makes new policies to better the school. With all of these great aspects, how can we not say that the WHS faculty is A Step Above the rest? ABOVE • A STIP ABOVE-A STEP ABOVE ABOVE - A STEP ABOVE ABOVE • A STEP ABOVE • ► ABOVE .
