Each of us in 1984-1985 was confronted with new opportunities, new ideas, new challenges, new decisions. In each situation we were supported by concerned, caring people. They included administrators, teachers, parents, as well as other students and adults in the community.

Through the efforts of these people we were able to develop ourselves mentally, physically, and emotionally.

The academic program offered us courses in which we could learn more about the world at large or us in particular. The sister school concept was initiated with StrathHaven. Their students came to us for business courses and our French V and German III students traveled there.

The Home Economics Department joined with the Theatre Arts program in presenting a dinner theatre on October 27. Even the theatre part of that evening was a new challenge as teachers took to the stage and performed with students. The Kjng and I in the spring combined the efforts of the actors with the musici<;ms as our auditorium echoed "Shall We Dance?".

Beyond School We were in 1984-1985, part of America who followed the national elections and¡ a few of the Seniors even were eligible to vote for the first time and cast their ballots on November 6, for President of the United States. On October 29, the Band traveled to Media to play for a political rally in which President Reagan appeared.

Locally, many of us came to the high school to see Rep. Robert Edgar (SHS '61) debate Curt Weldon, Republican challenger for the House seat. And on the immediate scene, we watched the . teachers come to contract terms with the School District.

Over the summer the LMC had been refurbished and the green carpet was now blue. The card .catalog had been moved to the window wall just to the right as we entered the Center. No longer were we able to stand and gaze down into the Commons and wave to the Seniors lounging there.

For Ourselves

Parents and students work together to make the Band and Orchestra Spaghetti Dinner a success.

Mrs. Bah! and Mrs. Hilt coordinated the effort.

We were always on the go, either pursuing schoolwork or ex¡ tra curriculars. Many of us had jobs or other commitments as well.

On the athletic fields, players and coaches worked together.

The Central. League opposition saw enthusiasm for the sport and the skill of players. The girls volleyball team, in their second season, finally were issued uniforms.

And the stands were packed by those of us who either cared about our friends on the team or the soCial aspect of just being in sup' port of our Cougars.

Caring Meets the Challenges Caring was evident everywhere. But no where was it more clearly shown than by Mrs. Fran Johnson who was seen at every home game, running the concession stand. She was an example for all of us - of dedication and concern.

Mrs. Johnson's association with the Benchwarmers began in 1958, when her oldest child was in the seventh grade. She continued with the Benchwarmers through the high school career of her four children (Edwin, SHS '63; Lawrence, SHS '65; Stanley, SHS '69; Sharon, SHS '72), and on into ours.

For each of us 1025 students, this was a year when we all took a step forward. We met the challenge of '85.

10/ Activities

The Challenge to Participate The challenge of '85 was evident to each of us every time we tried to expand the length of the day to include participation in extra curricular activities. The diversity of the clubs made it difficult to choose one to join.

There was a club for everyone. The musically inclined had their fifth period commitments expanded to include roles in the orchestra and/or the cast of The King and I. With the musical we even met the challenge of singing, dancing, and acting.

STW presented three shows as well as the Dinner Theatre in October. The three publications met the challenge of coordination of photographers, reporters, and writers with deadlines.

The language clubs as well as those others whose sponsors were not paid through supplemental contracts had difficulty in getting started. Faculty who had given their time without pay, for clubs or organizations, refused to continue donating their time until a contract agreement between the teachers and the School Board had been ratified. Nonetheless, the activities organized and eventually fiestas were back and "wine and cheese" parties rivaled them in attendance.

There were clubs for fun; clubs for mental alacity; clubs for physical strengthening; clubs for literary talent - yes, there was a club for everyone in '85.

The band signals the start of each home football game by playing the National Anthem. Although involved in numerous activities, the Cougar still has time to make sure Melissa Djevharian meets her deadline for the Scrivener.

Theatre Season Opens With The Springfield High School. theatre season opened October 29, with Neil Simon's 1969 play Last of the Red Hot Lovers. With only one setting and a cast of only four, the play brought together adults and students for a fIrst in STW history.

Mr. Lou DeSantis, guidance counselor in the Middle School, was the man of the evening. As Barney Cashman, he spent the three acts in battle to join the sexual revolution.

The owner of the Queen of the Sea Restaurant, married to the same woman for 23 years, Barney Cashman wanted dearly to have just one little fling before his so ordinary life passed him quietly by.

The fIrst act involved his picking up a sexually candid customer (he had written the address on the back of her dinner check, though he hadn't cut the check any), played by Dr.

Sharon Taylor, one of our high school English teachers. She was so direct and efficient about her own emotional requirements that she seemed a computer with a frustration tic.

Cashman's second attempt, the second act itself, was with a nonstop talker, hummer, and a nightclub performer, played by Senior Lisa Freeland, who must have been the most dazzling chick ever to have been , detained for observation in a mental home. She had dark eyes, dark hair, a song in her heart, and pot in her pocket, and always had an extremely difficult time reaching her own answering service on the phone.

In the third act Miss Helen Beldecos, high school Business

teacher, played the role of Cashman's wife's best friend of 15 years. A morbid soul, she was fiendishly certain that every living man and woman was a rotter at root. She was, of course, seeing an analyst. To what purpose?

"When we both think I'm ready" she thoughtfully reported, "I'm going to get into my car and drive off the Verrazano Bridge."

The sold out house laughed through the four performances.

Tickets were priced at $3 each; the Saturday combination of dinner and theatre was $10.

The five classes of Food Prep I, invovled 70 students who turned the cafeteria into a Michelin five-star restaurant.

Miss Helen Beldecos in the part of Jeanette Fisher meets Barney Cashman (Lou DeSantis) at his mother's apartment.

Springfield High School Volume LV, No.2 October 1984

News Scoop The information gatherer of the school gained momentum in 1985 when the Spri-Hian acquired its own homeroom. Editors, reporters, and sponsor saw each other daily during SSR and the homeroom period.

This daily meeting allowed the staff to better communicate and ultimately present the student body with the news of the school.

The newspaper again was totally produced within the school. Mr. Preston and the Graphic Arts Workshop students were responsible for the mechanical production of the issue. They worked closely with the editors in making the ideas a reality.

Each issue was distributed to the student body through homeroom.

There was no charge to the students for an issue.

Student Government Promotes Responsible As president of the Student Council, Sharon Chillemi headed a series of activities which served both the school and community. In addition to having homeroom in Audion B with Teacher Mr. James Doyle and Assistant Principal Mr. Jon Hunter, the members met at least once a month in the evening.

The drive for blood was the first sponsored activity. Seventy-two pints were collected. This was followed in December with participation in "the turkey fund." The members visited homerooms to collect a total of $600.

The group developed a student tutoring program where students sought help in specific subjects from students who had volunteered to help others learn. Guidance was the central agency for matching tutor and student. . Matching was done on the social scene when the council organized the annual Valentine's Dance. Cupid was

Springfield Record Set in First Round The Scott's Hi-Q team opened the Delaware County season of competition at home on January 16, against Academy Park and Christian Academy. When the buzzer concluded play, Springfield had answered the last question which was a math tossup. Knowing the answer "to find the tangent of the second quadrant angle whose sin = 5/13" gave Springfield a total score of 44 points and the match. Academy Park totaled 15 and Christian Academy 41 points.

The 44 points set a Springfield High School record of the most points ever scored in competition by a Springfield team. On hand for the feat were fellow classmates as the meet was the assembly program for juniors and seniors.The meet was also taped for showing on the cable station.

Playing for Springfield was Steven Udicious, Eric Fry, David Scheerer, and Lauren Stein.

The second meet was at Ridley on January 31. Despite the snow covered roadway and the reputation of the challengers, Springfield tallied 41 points, retaining their first place in the county. Opponent Haverford scored 31 and host Ridley 28. Playing for Springfield were Steven Udicious, Eric Fry, David Scheerer, and Daniel Green.

This foursome also played the final meet February 26, at Penncrest. The

SCOTTS

host school took on Garnet Valley as well, and emerged victorious.

Springfield managed a second with 37 points. Penncrest earned 39 and Garnet Valley 32.

The season showed Springfield with a total record of 122 points.

Each school in competition plays three meets. The scores are tallied and the three teams with the top combined scores go into a play-off match.The season did not conclude in the county until March 24; so Springfield had to wait it out to see p.ow good their record really was.

Breaking the tradition of Sunday afternoon, the Mid-Winter Concert was held Tuesday evening, December 18. The annual musical celebration of the season featured the orchestra and choral groups.

Each of the musical groups performed separately; then joined together for a combined number. The highlight was the choirs, choruses, and orchestra concluding with the "Hallelujah Chorus" from Handel's Messiah.

On Thursday December 20, a nine period bell schedule operated. The entire student body was seated in the auditorium for a "mini" Mid-Winter concert.

Debaters Argue Resolution in Eight Meets "Should the Federal Government Provide Employment for all Employable. United States citizens Living in Poverty?" The debate team affirmed or denied that resolution in the Pennsylvania High School Speech League tournaments.

Dennis Bonsall said one of the best events this year was when he and Philip Wider "destroyed the opposition in a meet at West Chester East."

The affirmative teams endorsed the resolution by concluding as Bonsall put it: "There are only two possible ways to provide employment. One is through the Federal System and the other through the Private Sector.

It is more efficient for the Government to provide and create jobs."

The negative side of the resolution saw the difficulty of solving the problem. As Colleen Bergin noted, the level of poverty is staggering. The 1980 census indicates 30.5 million American families of 4 have an income ofless than $10,400.

The efforts of the closely knit group were coordinated by Sponsor John Leonard (SHS '82). Mr. Leonard said his schedule prevented him from participating in the collegiate debate program at Villanova University where he is in his third year of studies. "Doing this allows me to keep involved in debate."

Second-year debater Dennis Bonsall (standing) sums up for the affirmative. Critiquing is partner Philip Wider (left) as well as Deborah Beale, Dawn Kasparian, and Sponsor Mr. John Leonard.

Close-Up Gets Inside Government

Springfield students travel to Washington with Penncrest, Sun Valley, and Penn Wood students. Pictured are Christopher Cox (left), Eric McGlade, Janice Bonadio, Lisa Freeland.

The w~ek of January 13, Close-Up participants joined students from Missouri, Texas, and Georgia to examine how the U.S. Government affects other governments. The days were filled with lectures, briefings, and discussions with various levels of government officials.

With D.C. as the classroom, they toured the area learning about all aspects of national and world politics.

The issues ranged from world defense to abortion. At each discussion seminar, students posed questions which were later discussed in detail in workshops.

The highlight of the week was the crisis simulation game. This was a very realistic simulation of world crises as each workshop took the role of a specific country.

Of the many things learned that week, the primary lesson seemed to be that "all of us should participate and be active in politics." As one student put it, "We all make a difference in the world around us."

Grades ten through twelve were represented in the Springfield delegation. The individual cost per student was $540.

Close-Up Participants include: Front Row: Christopher Cox, Janice Bonadio, Melinda Lord. Row 2: Lori Westcott, Sponsor Mrs. Linda Ball, Catherine Papale, Linda Christine, Diane Alsop.

Fiestas, Mardi Gras, Oktoberfest Meeting in room 254 with Sponsor Mrs. Aurora Moral, Ellen Stolis and Michael Bolton kept the Spanish Club active. Basically the organization was social, providing the fiftysome membership with opportunities to experience Spanish culture.

Commitment to that culture was evident also when activities were held to raise money for a scholarship to be presented at commencement to the top graduate Spanish language student. Such events were the car wash and a bake sale.

Twice a month on Tuesday, the German Club met in room 252 with Sponsor Frau Edeltraud Stumpe. Experiencing German culture was the purpose of each gathering.

The gemutlichkeit began with the traditional "beer festival." The LMC was transformed into a beer hall and the entire school was invited to share in the festivity. Mrs. Stumpe showed slides of her homeland.

Other activities included a A gingerbread house sets the festive style of the food table at the Spanish Christmas party. Included in the picture are Christian Ready, Christine Nolan, Diane Alsop, Carolyn Primavera.

Club Explores Allied health The Sophomores were the force behind Club Med and Sponsor Mr. Dennis Bartow. They provided the enthusiasm and support for Officers Jeffrey Thoma, Suanne Wright, Ricki Martino, Andrew Hilt, Brian Peppel, and Timothy McHugh.

The club hosted health-care professionals, such as Dr. Demitri L. Contostaulos, county coroner, in afternoon meetings. They visited local health care facilities and sponsored an afternoon CPR course for the student body. ' Their big trip endeavor was to Fort Derrick, Maryland, the U.S. Army biological research station. To finance that trip two dances and a bake sale were held. The two dances netted $400 and the bake sale brought in $25.

Mr. Bartow sponsored the club because he believes "career exploration is a necessary part of making a decision for life work. This club gives students the opportunity to look into allied health fields."

STW Season Filled With Laughter, \

Neil Simon's Star-Spangled Girl From November 30 through December 7, the evening began with publisher Andy Hobart staving off an insistent creditor by ingenious vocal tricks on a telephone and a tape recorder. Later he kept on reluctantly accepting painful and bizarre dates with his landlady in lieu of paying the rent. But being a con man was not Andy's real personality. He was ostensibly a man with a mission to change society.

Andy, as played by Eric Jarrell, joked away each problem. David Beaver, as the brilliant but romantically vulnerable editor Norman Cornell, had an easier time because his situation was funnier. The girl, Sophie Rauschmeyer, played by Krista Krehnbrink, fed the others with vigorous hostility.

The Star-Spangled Girl presents two earnest young men struggling

.,-¡L

against both society and financial hardship to publish a small magazine of social protest. Then these difficulties are augmented by a pretty girl of low IQ and high "patriotism" who moves in next door. She demonstrates playwright Neil Simon's contention that physical attraction will overcome the most belligerent incompatibility. The play proceeds to test his argument to the maximum by inferring that being attracted to the smell of another person can outweigh even a loathsome appearance.

The cast was supported by a crew consisting of Amy Coburn, Evelyn Radico, Katlin Dow, Christopher Lippa, Lisa Freeland, Christopher Santini, Christa Scalies, Joseph Grelis, Ralph Tullie, Jennifer Karvois. Mrs. Joan Dorsey was the director.

Detective Sam Dundee (Christian Ready) questions Ronnie Brewster (Ralph Tullie).

A. B. Shiffrin's Twilight Walk

Soon to be fourth Central Park victim (Susan Weatherby) talks with strangler (Ralph Tullie).

Mr. Joseph Semeister turned set designer Mrs. Joan Dorsey's plans into Central Park as A. B. Shiffrin's Twilight Walk took over the little theatre, February 4-9, with a matinee on the twelfth.

The three act play involved a. psychopathic young man who had strangled four young women in the park. That Ronnie Brewster (Ralph Tullie) was the psychotic responsible for three brutal murders was established as soon as his adoring mother (Denise McNulty or Christine Rickards) entered. But when Kate Scott, reporter, (Leza Raffel) took up the cudgels for intelligent therapy, the park became less a twilight menace than an openair forum for a high-minded discussion of medical procedure.

There wasn't much suspense in the efforts of the police or of Miss Scott's fiance (Deron Haines) to trap the murderer, or in Miss Scott's wordy brief for psychiatry and mercy. Leza Raffel was intelligent and attractive

as the Samaritan reporter who literally stuck her neck out for a strangler.

Jennifer Karvois was amusing as a park-bench bag lady; Susan Weatherby was appealing as the trusting Rose Callahan, who became the killer's fourth victim; and Christian Ready got a good deal of humor and human contrariness out of his role as the conscientious detective Sam Dundee. Incidentally, in the first production in 1951, Walter Matthau commanded that role.

Cast members included Evelyn Radico, Mark Ferrebee, Christopher Lippa, Jeff MacMullen, Krister Paakkonen, Dawn Rosser, Lee Ann Pearce, Amy Coburn, Jarrett Raffel, David Beaver, Lisa Freeland.

The cast of twenty was supported by student director Krista Krehnbrink, Lisa Freeland, Raynard Guy, Deborah Lutz, Jennifer Karvois, Katlin Dow, Christopher Santini.

Thiang

sings

A Happy Tune¡ on Leamy Avenue The King and I (music by Richard Rodgers; book and lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein and based on Margaret Landon's novel, Anna and the King of Siam), opened Thursday March 7, to an audience of Golden Agers. The production continued March 8, 9, 15, 16.

It was the story of an English widow who went to Siam in the 1860's to act as governess to the King's large brood, and found her most eager, childish and unruly pupil in the King himself.

The King and I has plenty of background to draw upon: the splendor of a royal court, the color of a still half-savage country, the flavor of a bygone age, the piquancy of a p,-olygamous household. And the clash between a potentate Oriental enough to think women a mere plural for whim and a woman British enough not to lower her eyes or her colors before royalty made for good dramatic comedy.

This battle of sexes, collision of races and conflict of ideas, this spectacle of a king learning to govern from a governess, was sometimes touching, and far less insipid than the usual musicomedy romance. Michelle Owens played Anna with bright, at times even glaring, charm, and with the versatility of a governess particularly qualified to teach singing and dancing. David Medina played the King with scowling magnetism - with a born fierceness of manner that could not hide his growing moral confusion.

The cast carried the score well; the set was enchanting and the costumes spectular. The ballet, all stylized and symbolic, of Uncle Tom's Cabin was the highlight of the second Act.

The Challenge to Make the Team When the bell rang at 2:25, it meant the end of the academic day and the start of athletic practice. Twenty percent of the student body participated in the competitive athletic program headed by Mr. Jack Peoples.

Volleyball in its second Springfield season became a name of challenge in the Central League. Boys basketball along with wrestling were both known as tough teams to beat. They were contenders and real opposition to beat for the top spot in the League.

Each sport had its own way of getting into shape, but the common denominator of all sports was hard work.

Soccer players were as familiar with the 1.8 as girls basketball players were with 16's. Hard work was evident as football players pushed the sleds around for strength or as cross country ran through the streets of Springfield with excellence in the mind of each runner as he gave one hundred percent of himself.

The athletes took pride in their sport as they pushed their bodies to their limit. The fans of all ages, including the Boosters, supported the athletes. The Boosters were basically a group of parents of both current and previous Springfield High School athletes. This group gave their time to raise money for the athletic program. Each May they supported the Athletic Dinner where all coaches and players were honored for their dedication and hard work to make Springfield a real contender in the League.

The first match was the second day of school. That was a memorable beginning as Don Hoy had a par round: 36 on the front 9.

In a match six played varsity and five best scores were tallied for the Springfield record.

Susan Gaines and Epiphany McGuigan led the indoor track team in success by breaking their own records. Gaines, who was second in the high jump at the Lehigh University meet, broke her own record March 2. The new indoor school record she set then was 5'6".

McGuigan placed third in the two mile at the State Meet, March 2. She broke her own record of 11:32, with a new time of 11:30.4.

One of the specialties of the season was to complete a "deck." To do so, one flipped over one card at a time to determine by the card's color and number the activity to perform. Black indicated a number of situps; red, push-ups. Luckily, a joker gave a rest of one minute. To complete a "deck," 198 push-sit-ups have been accomplished.

Shot On Goal! lIce Hockey The Springfield Ice Hockey team got off to a great start with five con¡ secutive wins. But luck must have thought this too much of a good thing, for the next seven games Springfield ended up on the short side of the stick. At the end of the los.ing streak a definite build up could be seen. Of the last five games only two were given up.

All things considered, it was a good season for the team. Playing with only thirteen team members, instead of the usual twenty, each member was a necessity to the sport. After the first Bonner game, the team and the school affiliation was severed.

Captain Nick Peracchia was aided

by Brian Murphy and Stephen Mininno in leading the team and seeing the season through. For the season, 78 goals had been scored, making a record of 9-9-0.

Flecknoe excelled in controlling the boards as well as in scoring.

Against Conestoga, January 22, she scored 15 points and pulled down ~2 rebounds. She was rivaled only by Junior Carolyn Casey.

Girls Reflect Skill and Determination The greatest challenge to the gymnastics team was keeping healthy.

Early in the season Kimberly Padley was injured and that seemed to set the tone for the season. In not one meet was every member physically able to participate. At the final meet against Brandywine, four team members were ill and the loss occurred because all of the competitive spots could not be filled.

Coach Matthew Busillo felt the newcomers to the team were a great asset and worked up to their potential. The veterans continued to get better and better. By the end of the season, he thought that the team was truly "getting it together."

Seniors Molly Kearney and Sheri Note were the captains. The team practiced during the week from 5:00 to 7:00.

Each girl had her own specialty, though some girls competed in more than one event throughout the season. The veterans often found themselves working hard to learn new routines so they could fill the void left by last year's seniors and this year's injuries.

AgaInst Haverford, .January 24, Kimberly Padley does a near-perfect split on the horizontal beam. She scored a 6.35 for her effort.

Let's Go Cougars!

The cheerleading season per se began in August with training at a four-day workshop at Millersville State College. This was the first that the squad selected in the Spring began to work together to cheer the teams on to victory.

The cheerleaders were there for soccer, football, and basketball games. They were part of 51 games of regular season play plus two playoff games. Although wrestling matches were not formally included in their

• • •

Right On

schedule, the girls tried on an informal basis to attend the matches.

Their input into each game began hours before game time as locker rooms were decorated, signs hung in the gym area corridors and candy distributed.

Before all of the obvious, though, were hours and hours of practice time. If a gym were available, they were there perfecting cheers and building pyramids. More often than not, they were in the Commons, going through routine after routine so that their contribution to the sports season would be flawless.

Officially it all ended when the buzzer signaled the last basketball game. That buzzer really set the mark for try-outs for a new season. A banquet was held in May. Mrs. Pat Romano, a six year veteran cheerleader sponsor, is surrounded by the most devoted fans in '85.

"Stomp 'um ... hold '-um ... push them back ..." cheers Captain Margaret Neelan.

The Challenge to ProDlote Learning

...::-

-

-

~~-

The faculty and administration pulled together as one to help us meet the challenges presented to us in '85. New additions to both the faculty and administration added new perspectives to the school routine.

The faculty taught us courses ranging from Power Technology I to Advanced Placement Chemistry. They challenged us with equations to solve, recipes to bake, models to sculpt, laterns to build, and balls to volley.

The administration challenged us in a different way. Mr. Knorr asked us to keep the cafeteria clean. He also asked us to watch a television program on drinking and driving.

With the Blue and Gold Pass System in full swing, eleventh and twelfth graders were challenged to be on their best behavior.

Some of the administration and faculty went beyond the school day to challenge us in a diversity of activities. They were the sponsors to our favorite club or the advisors to our student publications. They were the coaches pushing us to run faster or to jump higher. Sometimes they were just someone with whom to talk.

In whatever way the administration or faculty challenged us, we knew they were supporting us. They helped us to reach our full potential in '85.

The faculty convenes in Addion A once a month were Mr. Knorr presides over the meeting. Students on such days report at 9:25 a.m.

With maih tests scheduled for Wednesdays, the Cougar takes advantage of Mr. Speakman's availability for extra help in Algebra on Tuesday afternoons.

The Goal: To Achieve Quality In 1984-1985, the administration and faculty worked together to maintain high quality instruction. This was often difficult as the enrollment in the high school continued to decline.

The school also moved toward the direction of high technology and computers. A district wide purchase of computers and software, and the training of teachers to use these items took place.

Mr. Knorr, throughout the year, not only observed more classes in session, but viewed, as he put it, "fine teaching." He noted how well both students and teachers conducted themselves during the pressures of teacher contract negotiations in the Fall.

Springfield High School was also accredited by the Middle States. The evaluation by the visiting committee was in the Spring of 1984. The Middle States commended the school's teaching staff, programs, student body, administrative staff, and financial support. Other strengths included the LMC, student services, and student activity programs.

Mr. Maher became the new face in the assistant principal forum. Mr. Knorr was elected to the Board of Trustees of the Middle States. Mrs. Stumpe joined the faculty for the year in the Fulbright Exchange which took Mrs. Harris to Germany.

Where's the beef?From 7:20-7:45 a.m. on regular school days, the cafeteria opened its doors to breakfast.

About 60-70 of us were¡ steady customers, buying hot chocolate, milk and/or pastries.

Seniors with gold passes continued to purchase through second period. The rest of us tried to buy and eat on the run without any of .the faculty stopping us for eating in the hall or in cafeteria study hall.

The bakery department tempted us with aroma from the ovens begun at six a.m. and continuing through noon when the operation ceased. The goodies for all four of the district schools were made in the bakery department in the high school. Specials were 30 cents each; Danish or cinnamon buns were 45 cents, and two doughnuts were 25 cents.

English muffins, sticky buns, health bars, cookies, rolls, breads, doughnuts, and peanut butter cups were all made on the premises.

A few of us were thrifty and purchased lunch coupons at $8.50 for 10. With a coupon we were entitled to any platter we wanted.

Otherwise we chose each day and selected from daily specials for $1.25, which featured on Tuesday cheeseteak, or Y4lb. hamburger, fried chicken, tuna hoagie and a h carte items.

Student cafeteria workers were selected the previous spring. They were 10th, 11th, or 12th graders who had demonstrated dependability and met the screening of Mr. Tierno.

In exchange for working two lunch periods per day, they received a wage of $2.55 per hour and a free lunch. They helped with food preparation, worked the cash register, and did clean up.

Each of us was assigned to a lunch period.

Unless we had a pass or were a senior, we were there for the entire period. On regular days, fourth lunch began at 10:34 a.m. It was like eating a late breakfast. Our favorite purchase, though, was pizza.

Sixth period lunch begins at 12:05 p.m. Neil Roosevelt and Dan Gallo are among those find tables with friends.

The Challenge to Be Part of a Class Each of us was part of Springfield High School.

Though we participated in many activities, played various sports, belonged to diverse clubs and organizations, we were also evolving into a group to become the graduates of '86, '87, '88.

As potential graduates in '88, we entered the high school with nervous expectation. We had been the leaders last year and now we were thrown into a maze of hallways, new rules, and new procedures. Our schedules were filled with required courses.

The class of '87 knew the routine and became more involved in school offerings. The class officers took leadership roles and working with Sponsors Mrs. Mary Boeni and Mr. Stephen Stefani organized activities.We looked beyond the academic and saw that the school offered a variety of experiences. Some of us had schedules where we could elect specific courses. Some of us took the commitment to a vocation and elected to spend mornings in the Vo-Tech school.

The class of '86 worked with Sponsors Mrs. Barbara Hushion and Mr. Robert Young. We took the PSATs and thought about higher education. We were part of the Snow Dance and we looked forward to the Junior Prom.

We had more control over our daily routine as we had options within required subject areas. For example, some of us combined our English and American History requirement by electing the American Studies Program.

We were eligible for "blue" passes. This made hallway traversing easier. Still we contemplated that "gold" passes were better and waited anxiously to become Seniors.

We developed a pride in our class. We knew our class would meet each challenge and we individually would be a component of the success of that class of '86, '87, or '88.

New Comers, We Are Contributors It was a strange feeling to be the youngest and the stranger in the building. September 5, 1984, that's what we were in our first day in Springfield High School. We looked at The Hi- Way and wondered if we would ever adjust.

On September 18, we elected classmates to represent us in the student government. To the executive council we sent Jeffrey Fichter, Amy Fry, David McClure, Michele Simons, and David Woods. To the advisory council we named Kristin Buchholz, Joseph Garramone, Gina Giacomucci, Jennifer Jurciukonis, and Russell Procopio.

Not only did we concern ourselves with student government, but we joined the few activities available to ninth graders. We could be seen in the band, writing for the Spri-han, , cheering the various teams, and even playing on some of the teams.

Our schedules were mainly required courses, though some of us managed an elective slot in art or food prep. We had our first experience with mid-term exams and study halls.

Having second period study hall allows John Bailer to review the assignments for the day.

Cookies Are A Specialty in Food Prep One of the most popular electives available to ninth graders was Food Prep I and II. Both courses were half year ones taught by Miss Susan Lupton.

Although it was an elective comprised of all grades, the best thing about it was the end product. Following a recipe, measuring accurately, and following directions was rewarded when the baking smell preceded the anticipated delicious taste. This taste test was the merit of the course! .

The ovens were lighted in December for the baking of tins of cookies, both for the annual open house for the faculty and staff as well as the annual "cookie plate" project sponsored by the Delaware County Services for the Aging. Those cookies were distributed to the homebound elderly during the holiday season. Gingerbread men, candy canes, pizzelles were included in the assortment baked.

In February sugar cookie hearts became a way to raise money for the Ethiopia fund. After school on the thirteenth and fourteenth, 36¢ bought a decorated heart -- decorated with whatever message the buyer wanted.

Three hundred cookies were sold.

Gifted Studies Develops Ideas School Design Underway Ninth grade students in the Gifted Studies Program were given instruction in basic research procedures. They then used those skills in developing and refining an individual independent project. Dr. Sharon Taylor and Mr. Dennis Bartow monitored the program.

Christopher Lewis decided to develop a design of a school facility. He chose this because he thought it would be a good way to test his interest in a possible career in architecture.

In order to design a school, he first talked to Dr. Charles a. McLaughlin, the superintendent of schools. Chris credits Dr. McLaughlin with getting him started in thinking about what needs to be considered when designing a school facility. Chris then talked with various techers to get their views about classroom design.

By March Chris had drawn twenty different floor plans. In doing so, he said he had "learned a great deal about the architectural process."

Christopher Lewis puts ideas to architectual design.

Organization Pays Off for '87 In the Spring of '84, we elected Trevalle Ambrose, Damian Finio, Amy Hoerman, Janet Kirkpatrick, and Todd McCarthy our class officers. We gave them the support to work with Sponsors Mr. Stephen Stefani and Mrs. Mary Boeni to plan activities for our benefit.

They organized and conducted the annual Sophomore Candy Sale. We began to take orders for candy October 9, and the candy itself was given out on the 24th and 25th. Most of us sold candy so that we could build up an account which could defray the cost of our school ring, the prom, even a yearbook.

The first social event as such was October 6.

We sponsored a Beach Party Dance which netted us $1,000. Added attractions to that dance was the "Twister" competition between Sponsor Mrs. Boeni and Senior Sharon Chillemi.

Two Seniors, Thomas Flaherty and Jay Erb, also provided entertainment by imitating Mick Jagger.

We had a class meeting in February where information was given out about class rings.

But the real thrust of activity was the planning for the Soph Hop, held May 11. This was our first "formal" dance and we served on various committees to make it a memorable event for all.

Sponsor Mr. Stephen Stefani enjoys the class activities as much as the class members.

Order a Ring An information kit was handed out in homeroom and we all gathered in the blue gym for a class meeting. The ring man was there February 27, and we met with him instead of our eighth period class.

There were three sizes of rings available as well as different grades of rings. The medium size 14K gold ring was priced as $167.25.

Ring orders began March 8. The basic design was set by the class, but we had to decide certain basic issues about the ring we wanted to wear on our finger. The rings were made available to us through the Student Services Company. We ordered now, hut they would not be ours until Fall.

We were in our second year in the high school. We finally knew our way around the building and could get from the gym to the new wing in record time.

We had some flexibility with our academic schedules. A few of the class determined to spend their mornings in the vo-tech program.

Others of us kept to the academic load; while others began to explore a limited number of electives.

We were represented in the executive council by Gregory Alfonsi, Trevalle Ambrose, Linda Hall, Stephanie McCarthy, and Diane Stango. On the advisory council were Susan Byrne, David Holdsworth, Bernadette Golden, David Manley, and Kimberly Padley.

We were proud of all of our classmates, but we were especially thrilled when Bernadette Golden began to cheer with the varsity cheerleaders. We were even more on stage when Michelle Owens took on the role of Anna in The King and 1. We were a class with much to give.

Krista Makim's friends wish her a Happy Birthday.

11 Elect A.M. Vo Tech Tenth graders were able to begin vocational training by electing a morning program at one of the three Delaware County VocationalTechnical Schools. At the Vo Tech school the students received extensive training while earning two credits toward high school graduation.

The biggest obstacle to the program was having to be at the high school to catch the bus to vo tech. Return to Springfield was about 11:10. It made a hectic schedule at Springfield as most tenth graders could take only English and biology plus the required gym and driver ed~

Cosmetology was favorted by the tenth grade girls electing vo tech. If each stays in the program, she will complete 1,250 hours of instruction and pass the state examination.

Line Detail Is a Winner The Cabrini College Annual Art Show featured entries from seventeen area high schools. Lisa Serepca took the blue ribbon for her pen-and-ink landscape.

Lisa's entry was part of the assignments for Painting and Drawing I. Mrs. Barbara Stulting, art teacher, gave two weeks to complete a pen-and-ink landscape on location. The emphasis was on detail and content. Variety in texture ,and line made for a more interesting ,landscape and consequently a better piece of art. It is that which the judges recognized as outstanding in Lisa's work.

Senior David Hall won Best in Show <for an acrylic painting. The Show was November 17.

Painting and Drawing I was offered to grades 10, 11, 12. To elect you had to have taken Basic Art I and II.

Driver Ed Masters Snowy Roadway Learning to drive under all weather conditions was achieved in "behind the wheel" this year in driver ed. Though the winter calendar had tropic days, there were also challenges of poor visibility, ice beneath snow, and arctic temperatures.

Every tenth grader was assigned to one of seven sections which met in Audion A or B once a week. This was the 30 hour classroom segment of the course. Harry Ferrier liked Dr Ed "because it is one of the most exciting classes of the week. The teacher's cool; the movies are pretty good and it's not boring.

Most of us found the course beneficial especially when we elected the 6 hour behind the wheel extension. Bernadette Golden found "the insurance discount is what makes it worth it." Thomas Spaccarelli noted "It's good because it's better than paying for it. I get money off for insurance." Hope Giuffre put it succinctly with "it cuts the cost of your insurance."

Third period a "student driver" slides between two cars.

Double Section Elects Trig/Analytic This year Juniors had an opportunity to take Trigonometry and Analytic Geometry.

Their teacher was Mrs. Helen Sebold. Due to the large turnout of students, 38, there were two sections.

The course concentrated on the concepts of pre-calculus mathematics. Coordinate properties of points, lines, conic sections, exponential and logarithmetic functions. Trigometric and polar functions were also studied..

Although the course was taught at a fast pace, students were glad to be taking this advanced course. Said one, "I think the course is a definite plus for the students involved because it is preparing us for the type of mathematics that we will likely encounter first of all in our college experience."

At board to explain problem is Eric McGlade.

Double Lab is Scheduled Many Juniors elected to take accelerated physics. With Mr. Joseph Zumpano as instruc, tor, they were exposed to the relationships of matter and energy. They were also introduced to the laws and underlying principles governing light motion, force and energy, and electricity.

With two double lab periods a week, the students enjoyed conducting experiments which illustrated and reinforced what they had learned in the lecture. However, one student would have liked more "fancy" graph paper.

The twenty-seven class members found it to be a very detailed, involved Course. Both sections were grateful for Mr. Zumpano's "generous curves."

Symbol of Bond Between School and Student Continues As Class Rings Are Purchased About mid 19th century, class or school rings began to appear in America. The generalized symbolic value of the ring itself was the bond it created between students and institution and most important between graduates of that institution. It inspired a sense of belonging.

Essay Places First In County Competition

We'reMADD John, my friend, was a driver who caused a drunk driving accident. Eighteen years old and a drunk driver! How could I react to that?

The day after the accident, he was joking as he always did, but the look on his face brought tears of sympathy to my eyes.

Despite his bandaged face, there was no sign of physical pain in his eyes, only gUilt and genuine concern. A boy riding in the car with him had¡ been hospitalized. One mistake, and John might carry an ugly scar of gUilt and responsibility for the rest of his life! But, John. promised to quit drinking. I was so proud of his strength.

My attitude's a lot different today. John is drinking again; his vow lasted about two weeks!

He lost his license for six months. He can't drive anymore, anyway, because he can't afford the insurance. He had to pay thousands of dollars for car repairs, but none of that was enough to make him continue to care.

Though he can't drive himself, he rides freely with others who drive and drink while they d~ it.

He doesn't drive; yet the attitude he has now is that since he's not driving himself, drunk driving doesn't worry him.

His lack of concern disappoints me. More than that, it makes me angry. I'm angry 'because through my personal experience with a drunk driver, I have realized the enormity of this problem. I realize that John is not unusual, but typical. There are many who, like him, don't care. The prodigious task of making people like John care enough about human life to change their behaviors makes people in Springfield, like me MADD about drunk drivers.

Class Action Limited It was a quiet fall and winter for the class of '85. Once the class rings were distributed on October 18, and the Ring Dance was held the following night, the class seemed to be resting for the spring events.

Approximately 130 members of the class bought rings. It was a new company from which we bought: Student Services. New at least to Springfield High School. That made our rings seem like a real adventure in keeping tradition, but also breaking tradition.

Mr. Robert Young and Mrs. Barbara Hushion continued as sponsors. Our elected officers were Ann Cheng, Andrea DiMaio, Eric McGlade, Christopher Patterson, and Mary Triozzi.

The Challenge to Commencement Begun After four years the class of 1985 was ready to face life beyond high school. The memories of years past seemed vague as the challenge to go forward faced each of us.

We entered twelfth grade bombarded with questions about our life long goals. Senior interviews, applications,¡ meetings, all were part of the usual routine. On an average each senior applied to three different colleges.

Although the year was hectic, being a senior had ad- . vantages. The commons, only seen as we walked by in previous years, was now our space to use to study, do homework, or chat with friends. With the induction of the Blue and Gold Pass System in '84, those of us with Gold Passes could leave the school during a free period.

At semesters, if the course ¡concluded, those of us with an A or B average in the course could be exempt from the exam.

With graduation overshadowing us, we drew closer as a class. The Prom and Commencement were over before we realized it. We clutched our diplomas which recognized us as official Springfield High School graduates. Alumni we were. We exchanged addresses with promises to keep in touch. We wondered where we all would be in the upcoming year and what we would be doing. Thoughts were scattered but our friendships would always be part of us.

From the first day of high school in September 1981 to the last in June 1985, we were a class which had continued "a tradition of excellence." We had faced the challenges and emerged the victors.

The Commons is the place where Seniors enjoy being Seniors. Pictured Left to Right, Front: Linda Costanini, Deborah Lutz, Scott Faccenda, Edward Mullock. Row 2: Kerr Shaffer, John Kannon, Christopher Lawler, Jay Erb, In Yi, Ronald D'Ortone, Matthew Pearse. Row 3: Melissa Snyder, Lauren Stein.

13. What was the "minimum wage?"

To participate in graduation we were required to rent a cap and gown.

The E. R. Moore Co. made one measuring visit to Springfield, and Mr, Thomas Grubb, class sponsor, had two additional sessions of measuring each of us. Girls received white; boys blue. For the $8.50 fee we had the graduation look and we were able to keep the tassle from the cap with the '85 charm attached.

Twenty-nine students divided into two sections, of AP History. This was the largest turnout for the course in its three year history in Springfield. Mr. Jervis Jefferis, teacher, believed it was due to former students encouraging others to take the course. He also thought there was more awareness and general knowledge of the course itself.

Of the twenty-nine taking the course, there were a variety of reasons for electing it. Walter "Chip" Joachim wanted to expand his knowledge of American History. Many others shared his reason.

Madeline Pitts wanted to take the Advance Placement Test in hope for college credit. Jean Gallgher had yet another purpose, "I wanted the experience at incorporating large amounts of data which will be a valuable skill in college." The course did that.

There was a definite stress on individual skills of reading, writing, and researching. More responsibility was placed on the student, making the experience invaluable.

Earning college credit was part of the Senior year for David Scheerer. It all began when the Gifted program became totally an independent study project developed by each participant.

This happened when David was in tenth grade. He decided that summer to get a t~te of computers and he attended a one week computer day camp at Penn State Delaware County Campus.

He recalled how much he enjoyed it and even won a tee shirt at the end of the week for the best program.

With that behind him, the investment came into computers and the purchase of an Atari 1200XL. In the fall of eleventh grade, he went to Penn State at Lima Campus to study BASIC programming. In the spring he began to investigate VisiCalc and learned Word Processing.

This year every Saturday in the Fall, David was at the Delaware County Community College taking a four credit course in Pascal. The Spring term enrolled him again in a four credit course, but this time to take COBOL. David was the member of the class fluent in computer language.

Prepared for class discussion are (left), Jean Gallagher, Sharon Chillemi, and Epiphany McGuigan.

Kenneth Gerace - "The best thing about being part of the Vo Tech program is the experience it gives. Everything is·· hands on experience and everyone does things by himself.

If I had the decision again, I would have come to Vo Tech before eleventh grade. That way I would have gained more knowledge from the program."

Seniors / 151

Most of us left the house in time for first period with no thought of seeing Mom or Dad until evening. Many of us, mainly when small children, had visited our parent at his place of employment, but watching our parent work as it were, was not our normal scene. We heard stories about places of employment and sometimes if our parents entertained the "office," we confirmed for ourselves whether the place was in fact run by an idiot. Too, we heard tales and tales of what school was like when Mom or Dad was in high school. Many of those reminiscenes we endured.

But two of our class actually could say "1

went to school with my dad." One could say "1 went to school with my mom." Two attended Springfield High School with Dad, could also observe that parent on the job. R. J. Cannon, not only took notes in driver ed. in tenth grade, but he also found himself on the golf course with Dad as the golf coach.

William Hornaday as part of the American Studies program critiqued his father in the lecture segment. David Hall only shared the building with his mother.

Advantages - maybe; disadvantages - certainly. But unique to come to high school with Dad or Mom.

Anywhere and everywhere, including during class, some students were constantly exercising their vocal chords. The class recognized Michael Stumf and Tracie Boyle (pictured centered) as the most talkative. Pictured with them are Michael McLaughlin (left), Georgianna Brooks, Christopher DeBernardi, John Robinson (right).

All of us at one time or another adopted the action of flirtatious.

This Senior year, winks and glances were part of the commons scene. In that informal setting, this act of amorousness without serious intentions was perfected by many. Two class members were voted by us to have excelled in this skill.

Pictured above is Stephanie Trotter surrounded by admirers Ronald D'Ortone, (left) Walter "Chip" Joachim, Christopher DeBernardi, and Deron Haines.

Pictured right is John Robinson giving his attention to Vicki Mossman (left), Tammie Hazelwood, Tracie Boyle, and Laura Sacco.

One who is a prankster or a practical joker is a clown. Those members of the class who kept us happy and laughing were many. The true humorists of the class shared their action and wit and knew where and when to exhibit their charm.

Lee Janiczek (top), was overwhelmingly recognized as the male member of the class able to do this.

Jean Gallagher (above) received the votes for female class clown.

Seniors / 155

We considered ourselves a likeable class. Some of us even liked each other! This made a difficult decision in selecting the class couple. There was Molly and Ken, Joe and Chris, Bob and Joanne, Ray and Sylvia.

But the two we named as class couple were David Hall and Sheri' Note. Almost everyone of us thought of them when we were asked to name a class couple.

We thought of them together.

We saw them at parties together; we saw them at school together.

They began to be a two-some on March 18, 1983.

37. What was the school snow number?

"Best Dr.essed" reflects a variety of fashion consciousness and current trends. As a whole we were well dressed. We used our part-time job money to look our best.

Some in the class were In vogue with neon clothing. Sweatshirts blinded us with their dayglow messages. Some wore clothing which seemed to be held together by zippers. Others wore nopurpose gloves and plastic bracelets. Still others wore the latest hair styles, including greased, punked or tails.

The class voted Brian Murphy (pictured right) and Juliette Alfonsi (pictured far right) as the best dressed. No matter what they wore, they seemed to have a flair for dressing well.

Sharon Chillemi and Steven Udicious were pegged by the class the most likely to succeed. Their mental activeness in the classroom as well as their physical activeness in activities and sports areas of the school would seem to be an indication of the validity of the votes cast for them. Both Sharon and Steve believe success comes through self awareness. "Pride in, and satisfaction with, what one has done, and will do, is true success."

The Challenge Is Met in '85

Having lunch with friends is one of the best parts of coming to school.

Being a Senior means being in the Commons. Pictured are, Front Row: Craig Giodano, Scott Grassie, Sharon Chillemi, Michael Stumpf, Georgianna Brooks, Robert Thomas. Row 2: Daniel Green. Row 3: Steven Udicious, Epiphany McGuigan, JoAnn Wylie, Margaret Neelan. Row 4: Matthew Pearse, Raynard Guy.

When we looked back, it all went too quickly. But we looked at our year and found that we had indeed met every challenge head on.

For some of us there were personal challenges, such as Deborah Carlin fighting Leukemia. She had to deal with the frustration and anger about having the illness, enduring the treatment, and not being able to participate in all the school activities. She worked hard and managed to keep everything going.

Many of us met academic challenges and received earned A's as well as our names on the honor roll. Others, such as Andrew Davis were recognized beyond the school. He won the Free Enterprise Fellowship Scholarship.

A lot of us were part of the deadline frenzy of the various publications. We found that more difficult than turning in our compositions on time.

We acted with pride when our athletic teams did us proud on the playing fields. We were' a major challenger in the Central League.

And we were good sports. The girls basketball team won for the third year in a row the Central League sportsmanship award.

And we learned with the faculty about computer technology. We watched as the school put in more and more terminals and we saw in our own classes how that technology could benefit us.

When we looked at the record of '85, we had met the challenges and turned them into positive experiences.
