The donut, plugged with a still sur- viving forest, planted last year, changed from purple to sky blue to match the trim of the main of- fice. Window frames were re- painted, as were radiators, lock- ers, and lockeroom floors. The di- lapidated beige chairs in the cafe- teria were replaced by new or- ange, blue, yellow, and green seats. Walls were scrubbed down, repainted with new colors, and enhanced by murals. All around the colorful improvements were noticed by students and faculty alike.

Overwhelming joy, anger, mild contentment, peaceful contemplation, and subtle hu- mor comprised the many moods discovered by our pho- tographers, and shown here in the Gallery. A war cry from Louise Truax at a girls' softball game The poor conditions of the gym floor caused the year's first pep rally to be held in the auditorium. , f 'fl f' ' If M f Q , 1 'li p A! f f 4, 4 I 1 A 1 V6 ' 5r'f'lf ' s ' yn ' ,V , ' 'ra 'ff .

Red with anger, a student tried desperately to mend his conflicting schedule or rattled over the newly installed speed bumps Calias 'tmuffler manglers J in the parking lot. Bright and crazy in yellow hues, cheer- leaders chanted. Students became green with envy over others' dates, or their real nice cars. Breaking up with a special friend or failing a test invited the blues of sadness. As the barren winter trees turned into the crisp greenery of spring, underclassmen looked for- ward to the lazy days of summer while seniors concentrated on their future endeavours. As they drifted towards their new begin- nings, they were better prepared because of the large variety of op- portunities and ideas with which Weston High School had present- ed them.

Whether for a club, a worthy cause, or for themselves, students were always out to make a buck. Unless funded by the Board of Education, clubs had to devise their own methods to raise mon- ey. For the band and orchestra, it was their traditional fruit sale that raked in the money neces- sary for their trip to Canada. For the F.B.L.A., the sale of spirit links during Spirit Week raised five hundred dollars, half of which went to the senior class for buying the most links, and one quarter to the March of Dimes. The rest went towards the cost of their participation in the national F.B.L.A. convention. For the Yearbook staff, showing several movies, including Monty Python and the Holy Grail and the three dimensional Creature From the Black Lagoon, helped meet the monumental cost of producing a Yearbook. Finally, the Hockey Club, to buy their time on ice, sold tickets for a trip to Bermuda, held a raffle, and sold pencils. And WHS students also pooled their fund-raising efforts to bene- fit an international cause. Initiat- ed by the New Students Club, the Cambodian Relief Drive at- tracted the attention of many stu- dents. In one day, Weston High School students and faculty raised more than four hundred dollars by fasting during lunch. Many students tried to make an extra dollar outside of school, as well. Some students remained in The snack bar is used by all the classes and clubs as a fundraiser. At the Powderpuff dance, Juniors Cindy Kaplan and Ellen Freedman help their class raise money by selling Mark McCarthy cookies.

Other students flocked to Westport, Wilton, and Norwalk to serve a sundae or type. Others, opting for complete independence and freedom, be- came their own bosses in small private businesses - including lawn care and tree felling ser- vices. No matter what they did, how- ever, students always found a way to use their profits. Many saved for exchange trips to Ven- ezuela or France, a car, phone bills or their college education. Still, some wished to fill extra hours after school and on week- ends or to merel stash away a few bucks for a rainy day. In general, students were rewarded by their employment.

From scattered onion farmers to a small suburban community of corporate executives, profession- als, and artisans, Weston has come a long way without going too far. Low stone walls on many residential properties constantly remind us of our revolutionary day heritage. Devil's Den, where mothers fled with their children to escape British General Tryon's forces, has been preserved as a wilderness landmark where kids can play and families picnic. Two acre zoning which has limited the number of neighborhoods to a few, and prohibition of commer- cial buildings except in Weston Center, keeps the town quiet, ru- ral, and uncongested. The annual Fourth of July celebration, Me- morial Day Parade, and Grange Fair help to revive the days of yesteryear in our town. Because of Weston's secluded nature, kids find most their activi- ties to be school oriented, al- though many are active in church groups or serve as Fire Depart- ment volunteers. For parents, however, Weston provides a grim social scene. Cobbs Mill, the old corn, rye and lumber mill turned fine restaurant, is the only local night out spot. The Field Club, Racquet Club, and Aspetuck Val- ley Country Club are main athle- tic and social centers for belong- ing parents and kids, moreover, many students find convenient jobs there in pleasant atmos- pheres. The Center is a short commute for a lucky few to after school Sue Jeantheau has one of the few jobs available in Weston, she works at the Weston Public Library. Weston Center jobs, as well as a refuge for those illegally escaping cafeteria food at lunchtime. With jobs at the Cen- ter squeezed dry, kids turn to Westport for work, including the many small shops along Main St. and any gas station within a 10 mile radius. More enterprising in- dividuals mow lawns, plow drive- ways, or provide other sundry services to the community. Some students give freely of their time as volunteers at Norwalk Hospital or at the Westport YMCA helping handicapped and mentally retard- ed people. Living in a mixture of small country town and transient busin- esses, Weston families can enjoy the peace and quiet and still par- ticipate in an active community. THERE IS LIFE AFTER 2:00 Did fear of self-vegetation, or perhaps a strange physical attrac- tion to the school, keep so many students lingering here during post-class hours? Most likely it was a simple need to occupy free time with something besides homework! The building actually seemed tc come alive at 2:00, as many left but just as many began the second half of their day. Classes were fi- nally emptied except for teachers planning the next day's lessons or helping students with school as well as socially related problems. A new atmosphere overtook the weary halls, which burst with trackies and other athletes who moved in during the winter months. An unseasoned stayer- after grew accustomed to dodging hurdlers as he or she sauntered from his locker to the safety of outdoors. It was a time when romances budded, and died. Locker rooms and radiators proved excellent feeding grounds for some of the juiciest gossip that was to be born the next day. Flirting, a favorite pasttime, prospered during those idle after-school hours. Custodians may not have swept away broken hearts, but they kept busy long after most had gone home, sweeping up vital pens and pencils lost in between classes, ice cream wrappers, secret notes, and other school-ori- ented debris. Mercifully, when- ever possible, they saved cleaning windows, mirrors and floors with their noxious potions until after school. Mr. Haas extended his duties beyond an 8-hour working day, remaining as long as it took to get the day's job done. He even came on weekends when inecessary, and showed an avid interest in his students by coming to many ma- jor events as well as other extra- curricular events whenever pos- sible. 26 , I I Bill Pellechia. ixfh A 5 5 r O' S His work cut out for him, John Gillotti is found cleaning up after the mass exit at 2:00. are often seen helping students after schoolg in this case, Mr. David Lyon Dave Mildenstein takes advantage of the basketball intramural program.

AND LIFE GOES The 3:45 late bus was not late enough for many athletes, as practices ran into the early even- ing. The boys and girls basketball teams had to accomodate each other by sharing the gym on a complicated schedule. One of the teams often had to stay after as late as 6 or 7:00. Snow that re- fused to fall, resulting in treacher- ously icy conditions on the slopes, didn't keep the ski team from weekly trips to nearby ski areas for practices, sometimes not re- turning until 8 or 9:00. the year- book staff, off in their own little room at a far wing of the school, forever tried to meet deadlines during meetings extending far into the night. During fall and spring drama seasons, a soft glow shone from the open auditorium doors onto the outside lawn into the wee hours of the night, and drivers passing by could catch a flash of color hinting at the endless activ- ity within as Company cast and crew members sang, danced, hammered, and ordered away in preparation for those few nights of glory up on stage. Chamber singers met regularly throughout the year on Monday nights to re- hearse for periodic concerts. Yet when the door had closed behind the last person the silence reigned tif only for a few hoursb, until the restless activity would begin again. l l l l l l Night watchman Mark Campbell makes his rounds.

Some appeared in new fall blazers and boots, while oth- ers hung on to summer in sun- dresses, Alligator shirts, and sandals. Sunworshippers got in their last days at the beach and enjoyed the first few school weeks outside in the courtyard basking on the steps or playing frisbee. As the leaves changed color in typical New England fashion, doors closed, the heat went on, and the halls, cafeterias, and library filled with students coming in out of the cold. When that white stuff fell in October, everyone anticipated a long, cold winter ahead. Instead, a snowy Homecoming was about all we gotg the snowfall, the earliest since 1925 in our area, was fol- lowed by a heatwave in which we experienced a week of record high temperatures for late Octo- ber. Winter turned out to be noth- ing more than a chilly spring. Crystal blue skies and green grass didn't put a damper on holiday spirit, cheerleaders, Student Council, and other school dwellers painted Christmas and Hannukah greetings on the main hall Windows while the smoking lounge sported Harvey, the flying Christmas tree. A holiday concert and Library Club party also boost- ed seasonal spirit. Skiers may have had to grin and bear it with man-made snow, but for skaters sleek sheets of unblanketed ice of- fered smooth skating conditions. For everyone, the unusually calm weather only made the end of the school year seem closer. 30 1 Y' 8 C' K' nuff! ggw, A N, an L' ,, ' 'V 4 g , .' , ' This is Harvey introduces onlookers to the 'Christmas tree , created by students in the smoking lounge during a light dusting of snow in December.

C AWINN NG WEEK Class rivalries sparked Home- coming in October, where amidst competitions and float meeting raids, Weston students united in school spirit. The week before the big football and soccer games was filled with traditional activities. On Wednesday, those who dared sprinkled the halls with costumes for Halloween Day, while on Thursday, many supported their classes by wearing assigned col- ors. Friday, blurs of blue and gold filled the cafeterias as each class painted, glued, and taped away hoping to win the Battle of the Wall. The Juniors won, but the seniors bought the most spirit links to benefit The March of Dimes and FBLA. Because of a surprise snow, Friday night, a soggy bonfire feebly blazed on the baseball fieldg despite the sopo- mors efforts, it never burned with the brightness of past years. Fi- nally the big day arrived. Soccer received equal billing this year, and a big crowd was on hand to witness the victory over New- town. Then, parents, students, and little brothers and sisters slushed their way through melt- ing snow on the football field, where the Trojans provided an equally exciting game, football style. At half-time, the band stepped out in new uniforms. The seniors took the cake in the float competition for their bicen- tennial birthday cake, even though the candles ignited the float moments after it had pa- raded around the track, turning some of the plastic icing into a gooey mess. To end the show, Mike Marozik and Julie Sinclair, accompanied by their attendants, were pro- nounced Homecoming King and Queen. The second half of the game followed, and the team,led by leading rusher Dave Doolittle, finished with a 21-6 victory. When the dance that night was over, Homecoming coordinator Gabriele Stein, as well as all the others who had helped prepare the festivities, could finally heave a sigh of relief for a job well done. , 0 Homecoming King and Queen, Mike Maro- zik and Julie Sinclair. ewueewtww. ..., 4 'ii in 335 fxay fr W W bfffzlf 'iii ' ' .

By the time the weekend came around, most of them felt they just had to get out and go somewhere. Weston, however, did not have much to offer beyond the occa- sional party or dance. To find any real entertainment, Wes- tonites had to go out of town Cusually to Westportb. There they flocked to the four the- aters showing movies such as Breaking A wa y, The Rose, Star Trek, 10, and Kramer vs. Kramer. lf by chance, they felt an urge for nourishment, Westport offered The Ships, Pizza and Brew, The Farm Shop, Sherwood Diner, and Burger King, to name a few. If they were for lookedb 18, they preferred Club 300 or Grass Roots. Otherwise, they bowled or played pool and pinball. These pastimes became more popular as rising gas prices made cruising up and down the Post Road too expensive.

Mid-afternoon, on Sunday, Nov. 18th, the two determined teams, composed of junior and senior girls respectively, appeared at op- posite ends of the football field. A sprinkling of spectators filed into the stands and onto the sidelines as serious-faced coaches huddled with their warpainted and mud- smeared teams. The Powderpuff Game was about to begin. All eyes were on the first playg the student coaches barely con- tained their shouts as their fellow students battled on the field. They're hitting hard, came the report from the juniors. Hit back! was the coaches' reply. Wild cheers and team pile-ups greeted each touchdown. During half-time, pillow-stuffed male cheerleaders tackled the referees. Then, with 15 seconds left on the clock, within 5 yards of their goal, and with a tie score, the juniors made a dramatic move. Nancy Rohman, grabbing the ball, ran the whole length of the field for a touchdown. Bruised and sore, the victorious juniors left the field, winning by a score of 12-6. On the same night, the annual Powderpuff Dance seemed less enthusiastically attended than the game. The band, Stampede , did its fair share to encourage at- tention, but the minds of the stu- dents were elsewhere.

Q fmvnvwwwmil Whether involved in communi- ty service, artistic effort or the endless stream of fund-raising ac- tivities, the numerous clubs kept many students from being idle. Since student's interests are not always identical, the clubs at Weston High covered many areas. Academic or outdoorsy, or- ganized or just for the fun of it, a club seemed to exist for almost every group of students with mu- tual interests and ideas. Some clubs were part of national and even international organizations, others were completely unique to Weston. They all provided stu- dents With an outlet for their en- ergy, or a place to make a contri- bution. Y 1 Though new this year, the As- tronomy Club has acquired an en- ergetic membership. The club ac- tivities, under the supervision of Mr. Erhard, have included such activities as regular trips to West- port's Rolnick Observatory, pho- tography projects, a weekend as- tronomy convention in Milford, and a trip to the Hayden Planetar- ium in New York. Many members have taken their interest beyond the club's activities and have become in- volved in other astronomy pro- grams and projects. Several are members of the Westport Astro- nomical Society and the Talcott Mountain Science Program. Indi- vidual projects have been ambi- tious: Members have built their own telescopes, have made de- tailed studies of sunspots, and have organized eclipse expedi- tions to Montana and Africa! l l A partial eclipse, photographed by Marian Warren and Sue Burke in Montana.

The team kicked off the year by learning about debating, since members had little previous exposure to the forensic rules and format. This included two trips, one in November to Fairfield Prep and another in December to Choate, to witness debates in preparation for actual ones against other schools in the spring. With the initial steps out of the way, the team hoped to strengthen itself and earn a win- ning reputation in future years.

Under the direction of President Chris McMorrow and fellow officers Maggie Cleary, Caroline Nieuwenhuis, and Ga- briele Stein, the Council attempt- ed to bring together the interests of the majority of Weston High School students. In following an amendment to the constitution made by the 1978-79 Student Council, they reduced the number of elected class representatives from five to three and invited a representative from each school club and organization to become a regular voting member. In early December, they held an after- school workshop for these new members. Flooded with fresh con- cerns and ideas from the student body, officers began to communi- cate more freely to the adminis- tration, often conferring with Mr. Haas on current issues and deci- sions. In an effort to bring people together and encourage activities, the Council arranged a school- wide Christmas party and other fund raising activities thr- oughout the year.

Well, forty new people, including two from as far away as Belgium and New Zea- land, found friendly faces in the New Students Club. Robin Brad- ford re-established the club this year in hopes of making new stu- dents feel comfortable at Weston by showing them around and in- troducing them to teachers and other students. Activities started with a welcoming barbecue when school opened, a Halloween party, potluck dinner, winter ice skat- ing, and spring hikes followed. The club also sponsored a school wide fast in an effort to raise mon- ey for the Cambodian refugees as well as broaden the interests of the club so it would remain active the entire year.

Of these, eleven had been sent to Amherst, Massachusetts over the summer for a 4-day Year- book Workshop to learn new techniques. All-night work sessions domi- nated by coffee, chips, and ear- piercing music were held on days before deadlines. Weary-eyed and willful editors stumbled through classes the next day, apologizing to teachers for not having com- pleted their homework.

LOOKS AT SOCIETY Historic eras, societies past, pre- sent, and future were all covered by the social studies department this year. The department tried to present students with a diverse selection of courses. Field trips helped to make so- cial studies a more beneficial ex- perience for many students.

Lec- tures, tedious and complex at times, were broken up by unusual demonstrations and extensive lab work. Physics students played with slinkies in the hallg biology students dissected frogs before lunchg and chemistry students ac- cidently created a thick orange- green smoke while mixing chemi- cals for a lab. Warm and Witty, the all-male staff reached out to students. Bouts of humor and jest, encour- aged by the teachers, replaced the usual grind of school. The skepti- cal student could always bet a staff member a soda or a Big Mac over the outcome of a particular experiment. These mad scientists added a different dimension to the education of Weston High School's students.

BOOKS AND TEACHERS OFF THE WALL As usual, English classwork provoked hurled books, crumpled papers, and an abundance of pro- fane language from Weston stu- dents. Yet the faculty did every- thing in their power to make Eng- lish as painless and interesting as possible. During a period when Hoping to spy something more interesting, Greg Maclachlan glances up from his book. book-burnings were common- place at other schools, the depart- ment continued to bring new books, films and ideas to Weston High School. From Shakespeare to science fiction, students were exposed to a diverse assortment of literature. For those who were tired of the traditional literature and composition combination, courses with the emphasis on me- dia as well as the opportunity to study independently remained. All in all, the department took it upon itself this year to provide appealing outlets for all students. at :mf -was K' .....,...,,,,. i' . -. we as ixfriffs at -- .,...p. ., p W ,..........,,,,.,,..

As soon as their sixteenth birthday approaches, most students began thinking about how they are go- ing to squeeze Driver's Ed into their summer or next year's schedule. The program, taught by Mr. Jackson and Mr. Clark, in- cluded classroom and behind the wheel instruction combined to bring each student to his or her highest potential, even if that meant only being able to make a left turn without cracking up the car. Mr. Jackson also taught power mechanics, a course study- ing energy and its uses, and auto mechanics, where students greased up to perform basic auto- mobile engine repairs. Drafting I and Il, Mr. Clark's other courses, focused on 3-d and multiview drawing to accuracy and propor- tion at beginner and more ad- vanced levels.

Stu- dents experimented with batiks and watercolors, worked with glass and metal, and learned how to burn and dodge in the dark- room. And whether their creativity led to enjoyable hobbies or fulfill- ing careers, the department did its best to help students reach their goals. The faculty members en- couraged outstanding students to enter their work in various shows and contests. Also, they kept an up-to-date bulletin board for information about art and de- sign schools.

Rather than give up and throw in their shirts and sticks, the girls with- stood the pressure and worked hard together, concentrating on improving skill rather than aggression.

When school began, the relatively lax summer workouts grew more rigorous, and included early morning speed runs Saturdays, while the rest of Weston slum- bered away. Hard work, mental endurance, and dedication set the team off on a running start under coach Ed Kaufman and co-captains Peter Beltz and John Schwartz. Unfortunately, the team lost many runners to injuries, leaving them with a fi- nal record of 4 wins, 7 losses. The Long And inding oads Those long, tiresom eight mile runs and early Saturday morning practices had finally paid off as the Girl's Cross Country team won the WCC Championship. The girls man- aged to defeat defending title- holder Bethel in addition to seven other WCC teams by tak- ing five of the fifteen places in the championship meet.

Strong Defense Led he Way The gruellling summer ses- sions and the endless series of practices gave the Weston foot- ball team a 6-4 record, their sec- ond highest total ever. Led by Seniors Greg Maroun and Dan Street, the Trojans' de- fense ranked among the best in the league, holding many oppo- nents to under ten points. The offense, even though they had difficulty coordinating, re- mained strong enough to achieve a Winning season. Among many factors contrib- uting to the team's perfor- mance were their close bonds of friendship and also the inspi- ration provided by the in- creased spectator turnout. With many of this year's ju- niors and sophomores return- ing, as well as talented fresh- man, 1980-81 promises an equally successful season.

Due to the lack of class S schools, such as Weston, the team swam against double L schools. The difficulty in this is reflected in their 79-80 record. Although the team's record was 3-8, the out- standing performances of some in- dividuals qualified them for the state trials, which were held at Weston, and enables them to take fourth place in the state class S championships. wwf' I Q At a home meet, Jeff O'Connor swims towards the finish in a victorious race. oach Riley advises co-captain Steve chiff about his breast stroke.

Although the 1979-80 basketball team did not meet with the same success as previous WHS teams, Coach Westervelt and Tri-captains Mike Marozik, Chris Jones and Rick Vlaha tried to perfect personal and interteam playing as well as to give upcoming Sophomores first-hand varsity experience. In the beginning they played well against larger teams such as Newtown and Pom- peraug, but suffered repeated losses to the smaller contenders. As their record of defeats amassed, the Tro- jans put the idea of state champion- ships aside. They accepted their last place position in the Western Con- necticut Conference good naturedly, assured that there was nowhere to go but up in the years to come. S gl ,. , NN f ?

Their performance and their attitude had changed consid- erably for the better since last year. They boasted one of the best defenses in the league giving up an average of only 39 points a game, flustering many opponents such as frist ranked Masuk. The highlight of the season however, proved to be their last scheduled game of the season against New- town. A must win for the girls in order to enter the state tourna- ment, they rose to the occasion by beating Newtown 43-23. Their de- fense held Newtown to only one field goal in the second quarter and gave the offense time to work the plays. Spirit and happiness ra- diated from the team as the final buzzer sounded. They had made the state tournament, just squeek- ing by with a record of 9-9. ' If one was to look deeper, a rea- son for such a successful season would be apparent.

When asked Why, all the girls re- sponded that this year they were a closer team. Pats on the back and encouraging words when mis- takes were made, cheers and claps when baskets were scored or the ball stolen, exemplified the team spirit that underlined their win-loss record.

While some juniors congregated in locker rooms, others flocked to radiators in the north cafeteria, tables in the library or the smok- ing lounge. They were Well repre- sented in a variety of eXtra-cur- ricular activities. Yet, the class pulled together to Win the Battle of the Walls during Spirit Week, and the junior girls were victori- ous over the seniors in the Pow- der Puff Game. These brief times of togetherness then, were the forerunners of what could be ex- pected in their last and most tri- umphant year at Weston High School.

Fears of an impossible workload and strict teachers were soon dispelled as we energetically blended into the high school scene. Throughout our freshman and sophmore years, our enthusiasm grew, earn- ing us our reputation for rowdi- ness. As sophmores, we enthusi- astically participated in the school's clubs and organizations. As we moved into our junior year, our class became more confident, and accepted new responsibilities, of working after school and driv- ing. In addition we faced PSAT's and SAT's. Senior year was sud- denly upon us. Frenzied, we vis- ited colleges while trying to main- tain decent grades. The spring ar- rived though, we relaxed, con- templating the end of our high school years, the years we thought would last forever.
