1975 - 1976

During our four years at Austin the class of ’79 has witnessed many changes. Changes in ourselves, changes in our friends, and changes in our school. Each event at Austin helped to change us a bit more. The events of the four years here have created many memories. This class history seeks to recall some of those happenings beginning with Orientation week and ending with graduation.

One of the highlights of freshmen year was the ee hockey win that broke Billerica’s 20 game win streak.

Freshman year for the Class of ’79 was a time of adjustment. In September of 1975 we were thrown together from many different schools and backgrounds and faced with the difficult task of building a class from strangers. Harassed and humiliated, the 150 students bravely survived Orientation week.

As the school year progressed, the members of the class of 1979 soon began to show up in the sports and activities of the school. The first school sport that the freshmen participated in was freshman football. Led by quarterback Brian Hebert and Most Valuable Players Alan Dillingham and Dave Delisle, the freshman football team finished with a four win and five loss season. Meanwhile, the varsity football team, in their season, finished sixth in the Merrimack Valley Conference. Another fall sport, cross country, had a strong corps of underclassmen. Freshmen Andy Parece, Bob Wilson, and Joe Geary were thought “good prospects” as runners.

As the winter months approached, the season for three new sports began. The freshman basketball team, led by Brian Hebert, Joe Geary, and Phil Marcotte, finished up with a 6-15 season. The varsity basketball team, led by Ted Coppinger and Larry Comerford, finished their season with an 8-13 record.

In December the Class of 1979 picked its first representatives. They elected Bob Wilson for President, John Clarke for Vice-President, and Arthur Shannon for Treasurer.

The winter track team was made up of almost all underclassmen. This inexperience accounted for their disappointing 1-8 season. The hockey team, however, had an excellent season. This can be seen by their 16-1 record. In the State Championship they were upset by Acton-Boxboro. Many freshmen during the winter became involved in ITS THE MOST. I.T.M. was the second in the series of Austin’s successful student musicals. They began practice in January and performed the variety show in late March.

When spring arrived a new group of sports began their season. The freshmen baseball team had a very exciting and successful team. They finished second in the Merrimack Valley Conference, winning eleven games to their seven losses, largely due to the efforts of Brian Hebert, Mike Geary and Mike Ciampa. The varsity baseball team also had an encouraging season; they ended with a 10-11 record. The spring track team, full of underclassmen, finished their rebuilding season with a 1-8 record. The varsity tennis team had two freshmen standouts, Fred Poznick and Ray Keefe. The duo helped bring the team to a 6-6 season. It was during 1976 that the tennis team had courts built for them in front of the school. Unfortunately these courts were built too small for regulation play. Rounding off the 1976 sports story at Austin was the golf team which established themselves as a power in the Merrimack Valley Conference with an 8-5-3 season.

Over the summer the Explorers, one of the most active groups in the school, traveled to Minnesota where they fished and hiked for two weeks. Two freshmen, Chris Graham and Michael Beaver traveled with the Explorers on the Super Activity.

1976-1977

As our sophomore year began at Austin, the Class of ’79 was happy that we weren’t freshmen anymore. We began to feel more comfortable at Austin. During KBOHANE ephen J. the summer of 1976, changes were numerous at the school. Father Morgan, the former chaplain was replaced by a returning Augustinian, Father Cain. Mrs. Brako, a former Italian teacher, was replaced by Mr. Fazzolari. Mr. Lannigan became a new edition to the English department. Mr. Dee, a former Austin student, became a religion teacher. Later in the year Mr. Stott joined the science department, and became an assistant coach for the varsity football team.

The cross-country team went on to win the Division IV State Championships and started a string of 19 consecutive dual-meet wins lasting well into our senior year. In the fall of 1976, Austin introduced on the varsity level a soccer team which made its debut in Merrimack Valley play, finishing with a 3-11-2 record. The 1976 football season was a long and trying one, as the team could only manage one victory.

The Austin hockey team continued its winning tradition, winning 15 games, while losing just three. They advanced to the semi-finals in the Eastern Mass. Division II tournament, only to be defeated by arch-rival Billerica. The Austin hoopsters, during their 76-77 season, accomplished what was to be their most successful season since joining the Merrimack Valley Conference. They were led by all-star guard Ted Coppinger’s 17.2 game average and finished 11-9. Austin’s winter track team also enjoyed their most successful season in the brief history of the sport at Austin, winning three and losing six. The Austin ski team, in its first year, surprised the student body by winning States First Invitational Ski Championships in Bradford, Mass. In 1977 the class of 1979 re-elected Bob Wilson President, John Clarke Vice-President, Arthur Shannon Treasurer and George Goulas as Secretary.

Varying from the traditional variety show, Austin performed Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Broadway musical, SOUTH PACIFIC, in March, 1977. The production was directed by D. J. Maloney, and was presented on three nights at the Reading Memorial High School. As winter turned to spring, the Austin athletic teams moved outside where the track team continued to show its improvement. Maturing runners raised the team’s record to 2 wins and 7 losses. The team was still in need of people to compete in the field events. The varsity baseball team had a rather disappointing season. Although led by able seniors like Anthony Santullo, Ted Coppinger, Steve Burke, and David Johnson, the team finished up with only a 7-13 season. The tennis team finished up with 8 wins and 4 losses — good enough for second place in the Southern Division of the Merrimack Valley Conference. Unfortunately they were defeated in the first round of the state championship. The golf team led by junior Mike McAuliffe upped their season record to 9-4-2.

Once again during the summer months the Explorers went on their Super Activity. This year’s trip took twenty-nine Explorers on a cross-country venture to Utah. The highlight of the trip was a week-long canoe trip down the Green River in Moab Utah. Several Explorers even continued further, traveling as far as the Grand Canyon in Colorado. The year 1977 also saw other Austin groups travel the world. During the April vacation members of the French Club visited Paris while Spanish Club members spent their vacation in Madrid and other cities in Spain. During the summer the Russian Club spent one week in Denmark and two weeks in Russia.

1977-1978

The year 1977 saw the Class of 1979 return as juniors. It was our third year together and it promised to be both demanding and enjoyable. There were once again faculty changes. Italian teacher Mr. Fazzolari, English teacher Mr. Murray, and religion teachers Mr. Dee and Father Johnson were gone; taking their place were Italian teacher Mrs. Struthers, English teacher Mr. Muse, religion teacher Father Deary, and Biology teacher Mr. Staniewicz. Academic work was rigorous because the junior year is the most critical in college applications. Throughout the year juniors were busy taking Scholastic Aptitude Tests and Achievement Tests.

and Tom Callahan set the pace.

Winter months at Austin proved fruitful. The Blackfriars returned in December after many years of inactivity and presented a series of one-act plays. The hockey team was moved up into Division I and responded by working their way into the semi-finals of the State Championship. They lost in Boston to powerful Matingnon. The highlight of the season was an upset romp over second-seed Norword after having to push the school bus through a snowstorm. The maturing winter track team continued to improve. Their best season ever was an encouraging 5-3-1 record. Socially the school was active: many juniors and seniors attended the successful Winter Prom held in the school cafeteria. The storm of ’78 provided the students of Austin with an unscheduled week of vacation but upon returning to school we were brought back to reality by mid-year examinations.

Work paid off for the Cross Country team as they captured a second consecutive State Championship along with the Merrimack Valley Championship. The team was full of juniors. Andy Parece, Tom Callahan, Kevin Yahnian, Joe Geary, and Dave Sheehan provided the depth necessary for an undefeated season. The football team, led by tri-captains Paul Tucker, Mike Winn, and John Kelley, did not have as impressive a season. Although they were in contention for every game the team could only compile a 2 and 7 record. The soccer team also could only manage two victories. Their largest problem was a lack of scoring punch. Their competitiveness can be seen by the fact that eight of their eleven losses were suffered by only one goal.

The spring of 1978 proved very successful for Austin sports. The varsity baseball team with a corps of juniors finished their season with a 5-15 record. The spring track team, led by co-captains Billy Welch and Barry Fitzgerald, had their best season ever, with the varsity team finishing with a 5-4 record. The golf team, led once again by Michael McAuliffe, became league Merrimack Valley and State Champions. The tennis team also became league champions and were not ousted until the semi-final round of the State Championship. Stars of the team included undefeated single player Steve Malanson and the undefeated doubles combination of Fred Poznick and Ray Keefe.

In the fall of 1978, the Class of 79 returned to Austin as seniors. We had come a long way since Orientation Week in 1975. During the summer, Father Deary moved back to a parish, old friend Father Johnson returned to Austin to teach religion and we learned of the death of Father Cusick, who had been ill for a long time. Mr. Charles McCarthy retired and his place was taken by Mr. Kelley.

As the year began seniors immediately began applying to colleges. Everything was to be done by November first. Because this publication concerns itself with the happenings of the year 1979, the events of this year will not be placed here.

The Class of ’79 after graduation, will go on to colleges throughout the nation and finally enter the work force, but we will never forget the friends and memories that we have formed during our four-year stay at Austin.

Religious Studies

The religious tradition at Austin is carried on by the founders of the school, the Augustinian fathers. One of the major objectives of Austin is to instill within each student basic Christian principles. Each freshman begins his stay at Austin with a full-year course studying the history of Judeo-Christian religion, reviewing both the Old and the New Testaments. In his sophomore year, each student takes a half-year course in Christian morality. This is followed by a half-year course on Marriage and Religion in the junior year. Senior year religion consists of a study of social justice in today’s society.

Mass is celebrated each Monday and Wednesday and on all holy days in the school chapel. The school chaplain offers religious guidance to all Austin students.

Fr. Cain celebrates Mass.

One of the largest departments at Austin is the English department. Each Austin student must take at least one English course each year. During a student’s freshman and sophomore years he is required to take Language Arts I and II, which thoroughly review the basics of standard English. During a student’s junior and senior years he has more of a choice. He can take a course in American Literature, European Literature, British Literature, World Literature, Composition, or Drama. These are not only classroom studies, when appropriate, the English classes attend plays and movies to complement their work in class.

This year a new English course was added to the curriculum, Literary Analysis. It is an advanced placement college-credit course for those students who have shown exceptional talent in literary analysis and composition. It completes a wide variety of studies offered by the English department.

The school newspaper, THE LEGEND, is published under the auspices of the English department. THE LEGEND has won many prestigious awards and it is once again being published regularly. For those students with a special interest in English there has been established a Writers’ Club which allows students to exhibit and improve their writings. It is the goal of the Writers’ Club to publish a literary magazine.

Foreign Languages wu

The curriculum at Austin requires a student to study at least two years of a foreign language. The languages offered at Austin are French, Italian, Latin, Russian and Spanish. All the modern languages are taught by a modified audio-lingual approach, with more emphasis being given in the first two years to the listening and speaking skills, followed by greater emphasis on the writing and reading skills in the third and fourth years. Advanced placement courses are offered to seniors in French language or literature, Latin literature and Spanish literature.

The Department of Foreign Languages strives to develop in the student an understanding of a culture and a viewpoint other than his own, as well as an appreciation and knowledge of the foreign language. In addition to time spent in the classroom and language laboratory, the various language clubs are instrumental in achieving these goals. The clubs’ activities include trips to restaurants, foreign films and lectures. Several clubs are planning once again to make trips to the original country of the foreign language.

Science

Each student at Austin is required to take two years of a laboratory science in order to graduate. A student can fulfill this requirement by taking courses in the areas of biology, chemistry, and physics. Modern Biology, open to freshman and sophomores, is a lab course which studies all existing forms of life, both plant and animal. If a student does not choose to take Biology in his freshman year he takes a non-lab course in Health-Science which teaches about the body, special emphasis being given to physical fitness. A second-year course in biology, Comparative Anatomy, is open to juniors and seniors. This course concentrates on comparing forms of life by dissecting them. In addition to the two years of biology, a course in Oceanography is offered in which students study the physical, chemical, and geological aspects of the oceans as well as marine biology.

Chemistry is offered at three levels at Austin. An Introductory Chemistry class, second-year Advanced Chemistry class and a third-year advanced placement course in Directed Readings. Physics at Austin is presently in a period of transition. Physics in the past was offered at both the PSSC and standard levels. This year,due to faculty changes the PSSC course was discontinued, but should be returning in the near future.

The Math Department at Austin offers a wide variety of courses ranging from standard courses in Algebra and Geometry, for freshmen and sophomores, to Advanced Placement Calculus for seniors. After completing the required courses, the student may elect to take courses in Probability, Statistics, Special Functions, or Introductory Analysis. There is also a special class of Review Math which gives seniors an opportunity to prepare for the Scholastic Aptitude and Achievement Tests for college. With such a wide range of courses to choose from, it is relatively easy to fulfill the requirement of four years of mathematical study.

Austin’s latest addition to the Math Department has been the purchase of a Digital computer which will allow students to be trained in the ever-widening field of computer technology. Courses were not offered in computer programming this year, but during the second semester an introductory course was offered on a voluntary basis during activity period. Next year plans have been made to have six classes of computer programming.

The social studies department attempts to acquaint Austin students with the problems that have existed in the past and their solutions. In so doing, they will be better prepared to deal more effectively with the ever increasing complexity of today’s society. There are many areas of study grouped under the heading of social studies.

A first subject area is history. Freshman and sophomore history students are allowed to choose between Ancient-Medieval History and Modern History. In the junior year most students fulfill the requirement of one year of United States History which is offered at Austin on three different levels. The highest level is a college-credit advanced placement course. Another advanced placement course that has been offered by the social studies department is Modern European History. If enough interest is generated it will be returned to the curriculum next year.

The Business courses offered at Austin are also found under the social studies department. Accounting, Typing, and Economics are all electives open to sophomores, juniors, and seniors. The social studies department also offers courses dealing with people and their interactions: semester courses in Sociology and Psychology, offered on two levels.

The social studies department also sponsors many out of classroom activities. The Politics classes go to court proceedings every year, the history classes often view films, and the Psychology class goes on field trips to examine different environments.

Austin’s guidance department is responsible for aiding our students to adjust to both the academic and personal aspects of high school life. A major concern of the department is helping juniors and seniors successfully navigate the obstacle course of College Board Exam schedules and the application procedures and deadlines involved in applying to college. The department is also concerned with the implementation of an expanded freshman orientation program. This program begins with a new type of Freshman Orientation Week, and continues through the year with an emphasis on the development of basic study skills. Last year a new system of student advisors was instituted and placed under the direction of the Assistant Director of Guidance to improve the way in which needs of freshman are met by the school.

The Austin Prep Varsity Football Team suffered through a disappointing season. Playing in the tough Merrimack Valley Conference, the team lacked the size to compete with teams like Chelmsford or Dracut. The loss of a few key players slowed the Cougars’ start, but they fought through the whole season with victory finally coming on the last day in an exciting 7-6 triumph over Tewksbury. Alan Dillingham earned “Player of the Week” honors for his 100-yard plus performance in this victory.

A few early victories would have put the Cougars into the State Tournament and in strong contention for the league championship. The team was led by co-captains Steve Kelly and Brian Hebert, while strong performances were turned in by Greg Pugh, Peter Mueller, Chris Barrett, Stu Kelly, and Mike Boutchie. Many Austin players received recognition by the league. Steve Kelly was voted a First Team All-Star, while Brian Hebert, Greg Pugh, Chris Barrett, Stu Kelly, and Larry Dupont received Honorable Mentions.

Cross Country

Despite injuries to key members Dave Sheehan and Tom Callahan, the Austin Cross Country team was able to compile a 7-2 record, good enough for second place in the league. Austin’s only losses were to unbeaten Methuen and to Billerica. The Cougars were without the services of Dave Sheehan or Tom Callahan for either of these meets, but were able to make them close. Senior captain Andy Parece finished with an undefeated 9-0 dual meet record and finished fourth in the state meet. Other Austin runners also compiled impressive stats. Bob Wilson ran second to Parece all year, being beaten only twice in the league, while Joe Geary was only beaten four times. Both Andy Parece and Bob Wilson were voted to the league All-Star team, while Joe Geary received an Honorable Mention.

Led by a strong nucleus of seniors, the Cougars were an exciting team to watch this season. Senior captain Brian Hebert leads the team in both scoring and rebounding and is currently leading the league in scoring, while both Bob Coppinger and Mike Geary are averaging over ten points a game. Dave Blackett leads the team in assists, and George Scannell has done an excellent job all year covering the opponent’s center.

Depth was a strong point of this year’s team. Nine players made contributions in almost every game, giving the Cougars a well-balanced attack.

The 1978-79 Cougars had a very successful season, racking up a 12-2-2 record with two games remaining. Their only defeats came at the hands of arch-rival Billerica. These two losses were the most exciting games of the season; hard-hitting, quick-shooting, climaxing with scores of 2-1 and 4-3. Last season the team performed superbly, not being eliminated until the semi-finals of the State Tournament. Currently ranked fifth in the state, the team hopes to improve on last year’s performance. Outstanding performances have been given all season by tri-captains Dave McDonald, John Cummings, and Dan Cox. Also, junior Tony Visone has been a fine asset to the team leading the MVC in scoring. Many outstanding juniors such as Visone, Robin Monleon, Brian McNamara, and Richie Robinson provide an optimistic outlook for next season.

Fine performances were turned in all season long by seniors Tom Callahan, Bob Wilson, Alan Dillingham, Jay Jefferson, Jim Norris, Matt Burke, Chris O’Meara, and Dave Sheehan.

In addition to the fine league record this year’s team also won the Class C Division in the State Relays, with the distance medley team of Yahnian, Callahan, Parece, and Wilson setting a new class record of 10:48.

Omega

In mid-September a small, dedicated band of Austin students met in a dimly lit corner of the school to discuss plans for their yearbook. Despite near-insurmountable difficulties, on February 15, 1979 124 pages later, the final draft of the OMEGA was sent by special courier to a far-off land (Missouri) for publication.

The intervening four months saw this bleary-eyed, oft-befuddled, and undernourished group of journalistic neophytes evicted from their original office (now the computer room) and driven into the back of the language laboratory. Here they were given but one table and a broken filing cabinet. But they could not even call this paltry bit of turf their own; within days the news-seeking nomads were driven into a small cubicle behind the green curtain in the front of the lab. There they shared quarters with a deck of tape recorders, a duplicating machine, and a broken plaster of Paris map of Greece. On Sunday, November 13, from this unheated cell the first forty pages emerged.

Soon thereafter the globe-trotting band was banished from this area and thrown into the dark abyss of the boiler room where the walls constantly shake Murphy Brock at the and a sweet cloud of asbestos hovers in the air. OMEGA dance.

Engulfed by soot belching from the furnace and noise from the generators, the small corps grew in number. Like trolls, they worked underground for hours typing copy, choosing pictures, and editing pages. At dawn on January 13, the second forty pages were carried through the heavy blue doors and met the sunlight and fresh air for the first time.

The operation had been refined; the small regiment of students had become a well-trained army. By force they stormed the language lab. They set up camp and began once again to crop pictures and lay out pages. A round-the-clock vigil was kept to protect the work from bears and other wild beasts that stalk this area. Here, working day and night, the army completed the last forty pages and then dissolved. They rediscovered their home, their loved ones and the joy of sleep. Most of the veterans will now retire leaving the remaining members to start the perilous journey once again when the leaves turn brown and the weather cold. The 1979 OMEGA shall stand as an eternal memorial to the brave and dauntless who made countless sacrifices so that others might see themselves in print.

The first office.

The secret office — behind the green curtain.

The staff of the 1979 OMEGA would like to express our appreciation to Mr. Hennessy, Mr. Hoffses, Mr. J. McCarthy, Mr. Geant MeCnithy McDonough, Mr. Miller, Mr. erudition Staniewicz, and Mr. Stone for all their cooperation and invaluable assistance. The editors would also like to thank our moderator Mr. Mackiewicz without whose countless hours of assistance this publication would not be possible.
