Springfield Students Have Stories to Tell That's right, we do have stories to tell. All of us. Together. However, these won't be the "once upon a time" or "long ago far away" stories that might come to mind when you hear this title. We wanted a theme that would tie a common bond between the entire student body. If there's anything that we all share in common, other than the fact that we sit day by day in SHS, it's the fact that we are constantly telling a deep and complex story of our own.

Either as an individual or as a large group.

We make memories every day. Some of these will last a lifetime. Whether they be memories of the big playoff game or of fun times spent with friends, the stories will remain alive within us forever. Well as the old saying goes, "A picture is worth a thousand words." This year we tried to give you a good share of pictures. You can look at this yearbook as a condensed story of a year in the life ofSHS. All of us together make up this school, and all together we tell the stories. Stories in athletics, academics, good times, and celebrations.

So as you flip through the pages of this book, witness the story. For some of us it will be the final ones we share together, and for others it will only be chapter one...

or most of u" the thought of meeting and making new friends¡is a long past memory. We took care of the "Hi, my name is Joe, can I play with your blocks?" in the early years of elementary school. These brief, yet very meaningful introductions seemed to stick, and friendships grew very successfully. As we got older, the middle school years brought out a more mature personality in everyone. Common bon4s and interests singled out the different groups of friends.

Nowhere but in high school can we determine a time when friends became the most important aspects of everyday life. How else could we survive five trudgingly long days of school a week?

It's a comfortable security to know that come lunch, or study hall, or even the rushed three minutes between classes there will somewhere be a friendly wave, a funny conversation, or even a shoulder to lean on.

Friends are there to hear our problems and to share our concerns. Above all, the fun times that friends share together are the most memorable. Whether it be a football game, a party, a date with someone special, or just hanging out with a big group, these will be the times that we will never forget.

As we go on ahead in life some things will change. Our high school friendships will be stretched across the country, however the unforgettable memories and stories we told will forever remain a part of us.

WHAT MAKES US SUCH A DIVERSE YET UNIFIED STUDENT BODY. EACH GROUP MAY HAVE THEIR CERTAIN CHARACTERISTICS YET TOGETHER, AS A WHOLE, THE GROUPS COME TOGETHER AS ONE.

WITHOUT IDENTITY, THERE WOULD BE NO ORIGINALITY; NO INDIVIDUALISM. LET UBU.

LIFE

If you were to ask each of the 778 students at SHS to describe student life, you would probably hear 778 different stories. The story of student life at SHS is as varied as the students are themselves. Each one of us has a different tale to tell about our life here. These tales revolve around the special interests and activities in each of our lives, and they are expressed in the numerous ways in which we approach the common everyday events, as well as the special occasions, during our lives as SHS students. From the styles we wear and the music we enjoy, to our school work, social life, friendships and work experiences, each of us has written our own chapter on what life as a student at SHS is really like. We've cheered on our school teams, consoled each other in times of stress, celebrated special events and enjoyed many new freedoms. All of these things influence the stories we tell about student life at SHS.

20 Jobs

Each day students at SHS spend time digesting, working, and applying information concerning their school assignments. In addition to this "school work," many of these hard working students are involved with some form of employment after school hours.

Springfield is a town with a great deal of work opportunities. Many of its businesses are places of employment for SHS stude.nts. Places where students work include CVS, Rite-Aid, Staples, Harlee Manor, Athlete's Foot, AMC Theaters, Superfresh, The Village Porch, Bob's Big Boy, and Wee Three Records. Students also are employed in Springfield School District's offices, and of course, there are numerous opportunities for babysitting.

Although students' jobs are varied, the reasons for working are quite similar. The majority of students work for the money. Some enjoy socializing at work; they get to meet new people and have fun.

Still others work for the experience and for the opportunity to learn responsibility.

What do these students do with this hard earned money? Some put it in the bank and save it in order to help meet their college needs. Others use the money to go out with friends and have fun. Some use it for car insurance, while a few even hope to save enough to buy a car.

Musical Variations MUSiC in the high school has no boundaries. You may hear people talking about their latest tape by Urban Dance Squad or an old album by Pink Floyd. One can often tell what music students listen to by the clothes they wear or the friends they pal around with. Each clique often sticks to one type of music, while others will listen to anything that has a beat.

In the 80's, music usually had a rock beat and solo artists carried bands on tour with them. Now, entering the 90's, many artists are using dance machines that have funky beats and produce great dancing music. Some artists that have done this are Madonna and Dee Lite.

Others of us are into contemporary music with artists such as Billy Joel and Phil Collins. We were also hit by

"Zeppelin Fever" which returned this year for past lovers of the band and new fans. Some other oldies still hold their own with Zeppelin, like Pink Floyd, Jimi Hendrix, and Eric Clapton. Rap lovers' favorite groups this year were Public Enemy, M.C. Hammer, and 3rd Bass along with others. Some students are into metal groups, such as Metallica and Suicidal Tendencies, which are definitely popular modern day bands. On another note, post modern music is widely listened to from styles of the Cure to REM or Depeche Mode.

what it takes to get around.

Just getting back and forth to school each day can be a real adventure. Whether it be dodging traffic in the parking lot, wearing out the soles of your shoes, catching the bus (or just missing it), or even becoming airborne, this seemingly minor trip can cause many problems. Until earning the coveted driver's license, students are restricted to begging rides from friends and family, operating nonmotorized vehicles (such as skateboards and bicycles), protecting that bus pass, or

• •

relying on their own two feet. Even those students possessing licenses must resort to these alternatives, when plagued by the inability to obtain a car. Those students in the enviable position of actually owning a car, or even those who get permission to use one, must still face traffic jams, car repairs, and the everincreasing cost of gasoline.

So maybe the good oldfashioned method of travel is actually the best. Article

Chances are that walking through the halls of Springfield High at any time you will hear conversations in every room. The cafeteria, where friends can talk without the threat of a referral, provides a welcome escape

from the silent doom of study hall. Commons, reserved for seniors, is constantly buzzing with the latest news and gossip, and of course, the walls that line the hallways have heard more stories than the National Enquirer.

from the issues of war and the environment to next period's test to who is going out with whom. Music, skyrocketing prices, jobs, drivers' licenses, parties, fund raisers, senior week plans, sports, applications, tests, scheduling, proms, gradua-

tion, and the future are just a few of the things that students talk about. If something is a topic of discussion, then it is discussed at SHS. Article by Melissa Gorman and April Mullock

In what activity would any student with energy, talent, dedication, and time be eligible to participate? The answer is simple...the production of GREASE. This musical about teenage love in the 1950's was chosen to begin another long line of shows (hopefully) here at SHS. With scripts and sneakers in hand, 65 students set out in early January, to put on a top rate show together and highlight the arts program at Springfield. Little did anyone in the cast realize exactly how much energy and time was needed to

accomplish this task.

Rehearsals were both fun and exhausting, but as Mr. Henry told us, that was the way it was supposed to be.

As opening night became more and more of a reality, the "behind-the-scenes" crew made themselves known, and worked hard with the cast to get ready for the big night.

'SO, WHAT ARE

Senior year was filled with tension and excitement about what the future would hold. Everyone was constantly being asked by friends, relatives, and even

strangers, "So, what are your plans?" It seemed as if we were supposed to know what we wanted to do with the rest of our lives. The decisions we made this year

would definitely impact on our future.

Should it be a job or more school next year? How could we know which school or job would be best for us?

Would we be happy or disappointed with the choices that we made this year?

Would the jobs we found suit our needs?

Has Danielle finally decided which applications are worth the effort?

Has the stress and tension of making decisions about the future finally gotten to Denise Flaherty?

Tom Brecker and Mike Lauletta exchange ideas about the future.

It is so easy to ask about future plans, but it is not so

easy to answer. We devoted a great deal of time this year to examining our options, testing our skills, filling in applications, and having interviews for future school-

NS?' ing or employment. The stress of making just the right decisions seemed almost unbearable at times, but it certainly was exciting to know that so many op-

Something inside us. Something that grows in us from the time we start understanding the concepts of competition, skill, team work, and dedication. It builds as we go through school and as our athletes find success, we acquire something ... what is it? Spirit.

Stories To Be Continued

54

Being a freshman is a culture shock. Competing for spots on varsity and JV teams would make it even rougher for student athletes. The freshman teams give our newcomers a chance to compete in a less pressured environment.

Springfield's freshman teams are football, soccer, field hockey, boys and girls basketball, and girls lacrosse. The teams strengthen skills, fundamentals and teamwork. The athletes also become familiar with the teammates they will have for the next three years, while it gives the varsity coaches a chance to see the upcoming talent and evaluate for the future. The Springfield freshman

sports program is the stepping stone for our school's future athletic stars.

Four years ago, two hundred kids walked through the doors of Springfield High School, not knowing what to expect of the next four years of their life. Now these two. hundred kids have become young adults-more educated in the ways of life and with many stories to tell ...

Freshmen jitters - Where is the pool? THIRD floor?! What's a Satellite? The three headed English teacher! Gym only twice a week?!

Remember the tenth grade candy sale? Class rings? Soph Hop ... How about "King Karl" Schaefer... Mr. Landau's pop quizzes...

American Studies! AAAH! Seminar reports from hellUI Beat Ridley! Mr. Zump's physics torture! Class trip for the first time in over twenty years... M&M sales ... Junior Prom. 4 Central League Champs.

Senior year - college applications.

Trying to find a house for senior week.

Senior Prom... Senior Party ...

Overnight class trip... We're ouUa hereU The feeling of leaving high school is indescribable... a tremendous sadness at leaving friends of twelve years... elation at going to college and experiencing new things.

We've all grown closer over the years spent together. Our reputation as an excellent class has stayed with us since middle school, and it is inevitable that we will travel far in life. The friendships and the memories made will remain a part of us in years to come. by Karthik Venkataraman

,, Throughout my senior year I had a lot of fun, but the thing I look , forward to most is SENIOR WEEK!!

,, I'm really looking forward to Commencement. It will be exciting to realize that we are finally finished! "

f you grew up in Springfield, you were probably fortunate mough to meet Michael Romesburg. Mike touched many >eople's lives. Each of us remembers him for a special "eason. He was exciting, intense, and completely outraJeous- we couldn't help lovin' him. Everything about Mike Nas strong- his leadership, wrestling and football ability, lis voice, and his unique sense of humor. Through these .pecial characteristics, Romes has given us countless mem)Ties. Mike's sense of caring and acceptance, his glasses, .mile, and endless talents made him someone we'll never forget. Romes gave a little bit of himself to everybody.

Lost among the masses, a freshman enters Springfield High School. With four more years of education in this building looming ahead, the future seems far away, and the past still characterizes one's identity. Soon each person finds his place among the crowds of faces, and the over-used "third-floor-by-the-pool" stories turn into true respect for the - - - - " individual.

As each class matures, it develops a unique personality, its own set of traits, and a variety of ideas. As students struggle to leave their own mark on the school or in the world, or just to have fun, they create the stories that are only possible during these years. These are the experiences of life as we know it. As a junior prepares for the last summer vacation, that "former freshman" is ready to move on, but one of these stories will always trigger an image of a time and a place from the past. Cherish each day as it passes,. and save those memories for the future.

Reflections T he first year of our high school existence was spent searching for classrooms, being about six inches smaller than three out of every four people that walked down the hall, and being the butt end of too many stupid jokes. We gained some respect during our short-lived period as Sophomores, but the next year - our Junior year - was a time when we really started to make a difference.

It was the first time that many of us got a chance to playa varsity sport: much of that elder competition was a thing of the past.

We finally experienced the American Studies program (those of us who had the courage to take it, that is). And hey, how about those legendary Blue Passes? What a great way to escape 44 minutes of staring at Audion A walls. The Snow Dance and Jun-

ior Prom, two major social events, were now upon our horizon. Many of us were able to acquire leadership responsibilities in our school's most sought after clubs. Our third year together helped to strengthen relationships with friends and teachers.

Much more responsibility was placed on us and•••well..•most of us thought that was good. The mythical senior year was just now within our reach, and serious consideration of college and life beyond the Blue and Gold now entered our already cluttered minds.

Our time as juniors has now passed, but with that passing comes the anticipation of our time as seniors. Article by Damon Zappacosta

Tales FrODl the Middle Rung Walking through the halls of SHS, we once again start another crazy year. Now that we are sophomores, we see everything in a new perspective.

The seniors are not as big, the halls are not as long, and we are not the little freshmen who ran around trying to find classes. Reality sets in as we realize that life is not all fun and games, and teachers expect us to know what we are doing. As sophomores, we have more responsibilities. The pressure starts to build up until we want to explode. I now understand what the upperclassmen were talking about last year.

-Well, kind of. I drew the diagrams.

-Oh. That's more than I did. Did you start the pre-lab?

-What pre-lab?!

-The one due today.

-No, did you?

-No...well, don't worry about it.

Some of us have the privilege as sophomores to experience life in Mr. Eley's class: a life of proofs and theorems! Others face the challenge of Mr. LeDonne or Mrs. Boeni in the world of science (and dangerous experiments). Only few, though, are able to see literature in the way unique to Mr. Landau's class.

Don't get me wrong - life is also much easier as a sophomore. We know in which clubs we want to participate (no longer joining everything on Activities' Day), and we have discovered how to force our way through the crowded senior hall.

The most exciting thing about being a sophomore is that we are no longer on the bottom of the ladder of life. But although we are now a step higher, we still have time to enjoy the rest of the climb - no matter what adversities we face - on our way to the top. Article by Michelle McCafferty

First Day Metnories A s I first entered Springfield High School on Monday, September 10, 1990, I thought I was ready.

What could go wrong? How about not knowing where you were going?

"Excuse me. Could you tell me where room 205 is?"

I asked two unfamiliar upperclassmen. "Uh, yeah sure. It's on the third floor," they smirked. "You can get there by taking the elevator." "Thanks," I muttered unsurely. As I walked away I heard them laugh and say, "There goes another freshman." It took me about five minutes to figure out that I needed a key to get into the elevator and another ten minutes to find that there wasn't a third floor.

When I finally found room 205, I relaxed until Miss Gray came up to me and said, "Are you supposed to be here?" "This is homeroom 205, isn't it?" I asked.

"This is 205, but homeroom isn't until after first period," she explained. I quickly ran to my first period class. "Man," I thought to myself while rushing through the hallways, "is my teacher gonna' be ticked."

Much to my surprise, when I got to first period class my math teacher, Mrs. Brazener, was very understanding. Algebra I seemed like it was going to be a breeze the first day until I heard those terrible words.

"Your assignment tonight will be .... " "HOMEWORK!!!" the entire class exclaimed. "Of course," Mrs. Brazener said. "We have to get a good head start on the year."

As I made my way to my next class, I noticed I was going to science. "Cool. Science. I like science," I whispered. When I sat down and the class was settled, Mr. Vandenberg stood in front of the class and spoke in a very loud and clear voice stating, "I have but one axiom, and that is LIFE IS NOT FAIR." Everyone in

the class then looked at each other and knew he meant business. After class we agreed that we would all stay on Mr. Vandenberg's good side.

When lunch came it was a little difficult finding the right aisle for the food I wanted. When I reached my table, my friends and I did the annual comparing of teachers. I found that there were other interesting teachers in SHS - such as Mr. Stefani, who carried a fishing net around to pull in his students.

After a good meal, I found myself in chorus and singing songs that I couldn't pronounce. I didn't care though. It was the first class in which I could relax my brain.

My next class was Spanish. As I walked into the room I looked at my teacher as she said, "Hola ." For the next forty minutes, we listened to Senora Gough speak in Spanish. I understood almost everything she said and for the first time in my two years of Spanish, I found it easy.

As I said hasta luego to Spanish class, I again made my way to room 205 and Miss Gray, where I found out that good old Social Studies was replaced by European cultures. There was no doubt in my mind as to where the teacher went to college. It seemed as if everywhere you looked there was something representing Penn State.

The last bell finally rang and I could hear every freshman sigh. Many questions then entered my mind. Would life be fair in science? Would I ever be able to pronounce the words to the songs in chorus?

Would Mrs. Gough ever stop speaking Spanish? I would soon find out. Article by Stephen Sheridan

deputized by the rest of us to explain to the young what sort of world they are living in, and to defend, if possible, the part their elders are playing in it."

-Emile Capouya In the world we're growing up in, we are confronted daily with hate, prejudice, drugs, and violence. Our teachers are given the responsibility to teach us the good in our society, which sometimes is hard to find.

There's so many bad things that we can get into and instead, we're playing tennis with Mr. Zapp, planning meetings with Miss Armitage, hanging out with Mr. Stefani, disecting frogs with Mr. Bartow, shooting hoops with Mr. Werley, or running around the track with Miss Petrie. When they pile on the homework, all we see is what a pain in the neck it is. We don't realize how much we're learning, or how it's six less hours we have to get into trouble. If you think about it, teachers continue to provide positive influences in our lives.

,, I think that all teachers try to be a positive force in their students' lives. Most kids realize that we care about them and want them to do well at things. I like being a part of that. "

NEW DECADE, NEW PRINCIPAL The 90's ushered in some changes globally and locally.

Heightened awareness of the need to protect the environment . brought blue, paper-recycling trashcans to our classrooms. Our involvement in the Middle East sparked great classroom debates.

We elected leadership for the state and national congress: some old and some new, and we gained new leadership here at S.H.S. Although this was Mr. O'Brien's first year as principal, he isn't unknown to any member of the student body. The class of '91 remembers him as a seventh grade English teacher, and then as a vice-principal.

"The only regret 1 have about becoming an administrator," said Mr. O'Brien, "is the lack of contact with the kids. There is a special relationship you develop with the students, as a teacher, and 1 miss that. 1 really do."

Mr. O'Brien has a lot of goals to reach as principal. The main

128

Faculty

one is to make S.H.S. more "student centered." If you think back to a few of the changes this year - the reopening of the commons courtyard, initiating class trips for juniors and seniors, and plans to make the quad outside the cafeteria a picnic area for lunch - you'll see that Mr. O'Brien is most definitely reaching his goals.

When 1 asked what he felt was the most frustrating part of being a principal, he explained, "I always hear different viewpoints, so no matter what decision 1 make, there is always resentment." But being a principal does have its good points. "I feel like 1 have some control and can establish my own direction." Mr. O'Brien has done a terrific job his first year, and I'm sure he'll continue serving the student body as the "head story teller" with great flair.

"Remember the RAD concert? The great response to the band at the Halloween parades? How about the fiery debates of the Debate Team?"

Perhaps the best part of school is the activities we participate in. In SHS a person can find a group they like, and if there is not one already established, they can form their own. Many of the groups are committed to helping their fellow students. SHS best exemplifies that attitude through such groups as the peer facilitators and the tutoring program.

Additionally, the activities are a sign of the changing times. Just one example would be STARE's commitment to helping the environment.

Sometimes we all feel a bit run down as we go from one meeting to the next, but most of us would agree that school would be quite boring with just academics.

Everyone has something to tell about the good times that they experienced. Trips, fundraisers, and fun times with friends are just a few examples of subjects for the stories we tell.

Each and everyone of us makes up a part of that story.

Together, the students of SHS help form an important chapter in this book called school.

Leading the Way Student Council was an active group at SHS. They helped those who needed help; they gave us entertainment, and they made special days more special. They could be helping a hungry Springfield family receive a wonderful holiday basket through the Turkey Fund. Or, they could be sponsoring some other charitable event such as Daffodil Day, or their latest challenge, a stair climb.

Then for our own enjoyment, Student Council put a lot of hard work into making homecoming a successful and exciting event. Of course, we could never forget the talent show where the students of Springfield got to strut their stuff, or the smile on our faces when we arrived in homeroom and there was a candy cane or candy-gram on our desk from that special someone.

Many students took these activities for granted, not realizing that without Student Council most of these events would not have taken place.

Serving the School

usan Wood helps check out books for the kinergartners.

Many dedicated groups of people volunteered their time to serve S.H.S.; the Stage Crew, the LMC Aides, the LMC KInder Aides, and the Cougar Club.

The Stage Crew prepared the au· ditorium for assemblies, concerts, school board meetings, and every other type of program. What the stage crew had to do was set up props, fix the lighting and sound, and take care of general repair. It was demanding work, but satisfying. "I liked working behind the scenes and learning how things worked," said Tim Merrell. Anthony Maturo concurred. "It was a good experience for a career and it gave me an opportunity to work with my hands."

The LMC Aides and Kinder Aides helped Mrs. Naismith during their free periods. "Good library aides made my job easier. It gave me a chance to get to know the students at a more intimate level," she observed.

What did a library aide actually do to help out? They got magazines, encyclopedias, and anything else behind the counter that a student needed.

Also, the aides assisted by checking out books, shelving books, and putting files in order. The Kinder Aides helped by carding and checking out books to the Kinder Cubs. "I liked the feeling of satisfaction from working in the LMC," said one aide, Nicole Benkert.

A relatively new group in the school was the Cougar Club. This club formed last year to replace the parent volunteers who worked at concession stands during athletic events. Katherin Mawbray, with the help of some students, sold refreshments during football, basketball, and wrestling games. The money earned helped fi· nance a banquet at the end of the year for athletes.

Service Club

Banding All the running around with sports, school work, and jobs caused students to go their separate ways. But the SHS Leadership program let everyone come back together.

The SHS Program consisted of RAD, SADD, Amnesty International, School Spirit, Peer Facilitators, and After School Community Education Council. Even though each club was united under SHS, each one had its own function.

This year, RAD had a logo contest and made t-shirts in order to raise awareness of drug problems.

"Hopefully, we showed that there are other ways, instead of drugs, to enjoy yourself," commented President Michelle Sullivan.

SADD didn't fool around when they had a car wreck on the football field during the Ridley Game.They wanted to remind students to think before they get in a car drunk. Jason Sherlock declared that he hoped students reo alized "that it could happen to them."

Amnesty International's Write-A¡ Thon helped others obtain justice and freedom. Awareness was raised and so was money for postage. Members really did make a difference with the written word!

The School Spirit Club showed their Springfield Spirit on Blue and Gold Day. "We hoped to give the rest

A Year Of Service The National Honor Society definitely got off on the right track this year with both a new outlook and a new advisor, Mrs. Abrutyn. All the members of the 1990-91 year displayed the four traditional qualities of membership: scholarship, leadership, character, and service. However this year, extra emphasis was given to the service aspect.

Beginning in October, NHS took on the environmental issue. Led by officers Jesse Fahnestock, Rich Mento, Stacey Owens, and Karthik Venkataraman, the group became involved immediately with the recycling program at SHS. Later in the year, NHS busied themselves with an environmental project that served Springfield Township.

Stacey Owens commented that "As leaders of the school, we ought to be involved with the community because they're involved with our activities."

The thirty-six members of NHS were an extremely impresssive group this year. As a whole, they continued to carry on the tradition of excellence at Springfield High School.

Scott Syglowski, Christin Bassett, and Alex Villari come up with a solution for a math problem.

Answering SODle Questions "Okay, a toss up question now," said the quizmaster, "which character in Much Ado About Nothing said the following ...?"

After the quote, there was a brief moment of tension, then the stinging ring of a buzzer.

"Yes, Springfield, your answer?" asked the quizmaster.

"Antonio?"

"Yes. Four points to Springfield!"

After the cheers of the crowd dissipated, the next question was asked. Then, the next question was asked! And Springfield continued to pick up points! So went the 1991 season of Scott Hi-Q for the Cougars.

The team started off with a 62 point romp over Interboro and Christian Academy. The next meet, the home meet, proved difficult for Springfield; it was against Penncrest, the defending champs. But Springfield rose to the occasion! The last meet was a spirited match against two Central League rivals, Upper Darby and Ridley.

The Hi-Q team set out this season to surpass their fourth place finish of last year. Building upon their skills and knowledge, the team opened the season meeting the record score that they had set last year.

Senior members Christin Bassett (1st half), Jesse Fahnestock (2nd half) and Captain Karthik Venkataraman added much needed experience to the team, as all of the other players were in their first year of competition. Seniors Alex Villari, Scott Syglowski and juniors Bessie Chou, Jason Sherlock, and Damon Zappacosta were the new firsttimers for the first half of the meets. The second half had newcomers Steve Mongold and Melissa Gorman.

This year, the team worked hard, and aspired to finally enter the playoffs. And, Coach Mr. Young is preparing for the future, to bring the title back to Springfield.

Reporting The Stories It began innocently enough last spring when Christin Bassett asked me to be her co-editor for the Spri Hian. I had been on the staff for two years and was interested in journalism, so naturally I accepted. At the time, the glazed look in her eyes wasn't so obvious. Little did I know it was the crazed look of a school publications editor.

My perception of journalism had always been of Lois Lane covering bank robberies and doing in-depth interviews with world leaders.

I was completely ignorantto the many steps, outside of writing, involved in producing a school newspaper.

Our first step was proofreading. The staff provided a constant stream of well written, insightful articles throughout the year. Features editors Jessica Gorman and Lani Haris informed us on topics ranging from summer experiences to scheduling problems. As sports editor, Karthik Venkataraman covered Cougar tracks from the football field to the tennis courts.

These wonderful pieces of literary merit then fell into the hands of our friend Krissy Riebel in the busi-

142

Spri Hian

ness education department.

Krissy spent many hours typesetting article upon article.

Our next step, the layout, involved Christ in and I playing, "color, cut, and paste," for hours on end, in the graphics room. Rich J 0seph, production editor, then took our tough design and, in short, transformed it into the finished product.

Before the papers could be distributed circulation editors Becky Taber and Meg Anders stepped in to organize collating and distribution. This meant folding and counting all our 800 plus copies of the paper and mailing them to other local school and town papers.

All of this wouldn't be possible without the help of our advisor, Mrs. Doris Gough. Mrs. Gough worked tirelessly organizing the staff and formulating ideas for articles while constantly providing encouragement and support.

All in all, a lot of work goes into the Spri Hian. So the next time you are walking down the hall and you see a copy lying on the floor, pick it up and READ IT!

Mr. Bartow, the former Computer team abandoned competitions to focus on more practical usage.

Some members joined with a previous profeciency in computers, intending to increase their abilities.

While others, with no computer experience, desired a background of computer¡ skills to aid them in future endeavors. The students helped each other with new computer techniques at after school sessions.

The Computer Club worked hard this year to¡ give students that "computer edge". colleges and potentialemployers encourage. However, it also tried to promote personal interests in the field.

Sophomore Vani Ari appraises another "Hallmark" poem.

"Well, I don't know, I think it's too wordy."

"But the rhyme scheme works so well. And it has such a good theme."

This was the sort of discussion that could have been overheard at a Lit Mag meeting this year when the screening staff gathered to decide which poems and stories would make it into the magazine. While eating M & M's, the screening staff went through all of the entries, discussing and then voting on each one.

Lit Mag didn't start or stop there, however. At the beginning of the year posters were put up all over the school. Additionally, announcements were made in order to encourage students to submit their work. Then, after the works were chosen for the magazine, the art staff illustrated the poems. Lastly, the magazine was printed and collated.

All of the poems and entries that we saw came from true talent, but it was impossible to put them all in the Lit Mag. The Lit Mag gave us the opportunity to just get a glance at the great talent that the students of S.H.S. possess.

A Tale Of Two Sexes Intramural weightlifting was one of the least publicized This year, the Cougar Gym, the room in which dedicated weightlifters went "to pump some iron" in their quest for of S.H.S.'s activities, but if you had taken the time to ask any member what it was like, they would have had you hugeness became a place for girls as wen as guys.

With a little coaxing from our friends who had been convinced to start working out. Believe me, listen up, it's Intramural Weightlifting members since ninth grade, Me- fantastic advice.

by Lani Haris lissa Clifford and I started lifting in early November. A little self conscious, we began our training with the lightest .... _ weights available. We found ourselves breaking between sets to stare in awe at some of the more accomplished lifters.

Although we were intimidated, we went religiously every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and within a month we were totally comfortable with the guys. Being the only girls in the gym didn't hurt us, it h~lped us. Mr. Yaeck, Mr. Zumpano, and just about every guy in there were more than willing to help us out.

Even though Laurie Corey and some other girls joined us later in the year, we were still very much in the minority.

It's a shame because weightlifting was one of the most gratifying things I have ever done, and I'm in better shape than ever before. I also made a lot of great friends whom I have a lot of respect for, now that I know what hard work it is to train your body.

Farcical Fun Ahhhh! How that cold air felt against your exhausted body as you stood at the top of the mountain wondering what possessed you to get out of bed so early. How were you going to make it down this trail alive? "Come on, it's easy!" your friends shouted.'

You responded, "Guys I fell off the lift!" Every first time skier experienced the same dreadful encounters, but if you hadn't persevered, you would have missed some of the best times of your life.

Being a member of Ski Club meant being able to laugh at yourself as well as having the chance to laugh at everyone else. One funny experience occurred at Camelback. Perry Meth and Tad Stretton set up all the skies side by side against the bus, right up to the last pair, which bumped the skies next to it, and caused a funny domino effect.

Another humorous time was our first attempt at jumping moguls, one after another. Everything went well until a dog cut right across the path and we ended up plowing into him. Another embarrassing event happened to one skier when he was waiting for the lift. He tripped over the rope, knocked down some people, and got so tangled that he couldn't get up.

Sure, skiing had its ups and downs; it was challenging and sometimes frightening. But if you asked any skier, he would never give it up.

Stories Of Science "I joined Science Olympiad because I liked the approach the competitions had towards science," commented Jessica Gorman. The competitions also gave her a "better understanding of a particular field in a unique way." Others joined Science Olympiad because it provided "fun, competition, and hard work," and gave them a chance to "apply what they know."

Some of you are probably wondering how we prepared for the compe-

titions. Well, it depended. Some members went through a lot of trouble to prepare for competitions by looking for the materials in books. They studied, studied, and studied. Others had to practice their skills for competitions such as the weight and balance one. Raja Vaidya and I spent a lot of time gluing together little pieces of wood. Then we had to test the bridges.

Sometimes, they were good but other times they broke and then we had to

start all over again. In addition, the bridges had to meet efficiency standards. Sure, everybody can build a bridge, but the question is how effective is it?

Science Olympiad was a learning experience for everyone. Try and try again and practice makes perfect became our mottos. We all learned a lot about competition, dedication, and patience.

Brian Rubin listens to a fellow animal rights activist during a march on Washington D.C.

Activists A fairly new club at S.H.S. was S.T.A.R.E. Just a year old, S.T.A.R.E. was formally known as S.T.A.R. (Students Toward Animal Rigthts) till an E was added for the Environment.

At first, the group's organizers Vani Ari and Shannon Mazzei had trouble finding a sponsor. Then, Mr. Vandenberg came to the rescue.

Guest speakers came to talk to S.T.A.R.E. and discussions ensued.

Topics included such controversial subjects as cosmetic testing on animals. Also, group members attended a march in Washington D.C. to protest animal abuse.

According to member Torie Paoletti "S.T .A.R.E. is a very good way to get young people involved with animal rights and other important issues.

Most schools don't have a group like S.T.A.R.E." S.T .A.R.E. is a club that reflected the growing concern people had about the world we live in.

"Club Moo is a club run by students who want to learn more about various medical fields," stated club sponsor Mr. Bartow.

How did this happen? Club Med members were able to co-ordinate events like the blood drives which aided the Red Cross in getting much needed blood. In addition, the club visited a medical college where we could talk to people in the medical and health fields. It gave us great insight on whether or not we would want to go into a medical profession.

To aid one student in his medical studies, an annual book scholarship was awarded. Bake sales were held to raise the one hundred dollars for the graduating senior ~ Club Med gave anyone who is interested in pursuing a medical career an opportunity to prepare for it in high school.

Stories On Stage "Ch-Ch-Ch-ChChanges!"-David Bowie.

That should have been the theme song for S.T.W. this year. We kicked off the school year with a brand new director-Mr. Robert Henry. Our fall production of "The Wayside Inn" ran for three consecutive nights instead of the usual six.

And, instead of a spring production in the Knorr Theatre, we performed a musical "Grease," the first musical in six years!

Normally, changes like these cause a lot of chaos,

Rich Mento leans up to listen to Mr. Henry's instructions for Wayside Motor Inn".

"Th~

and although S.T. W. was usually filled with chaos, we remained very productive and successful. The musical involved a lot more of the student body, and "The Wayside Motor Inn" opened the auditions to the whole school rather than keeping S.T.W. the "big mystery" that it used to be.

All in all, the changes S.T.W. went through were good ones, and they made for two very successful productions and a great year.

Could you have imagined the band without any front units? Boring was what it would have been! Much of the credit for the successful year that the band had should be given to the diligent front units. The Rifles, Silks, and Dance Line added a lot of skill and excitement to performances.

Sergeant Julie Regan led her squad to excellence this year. The eye catching twirling was difficult, but it always looked fantastic! She stated that it "took a lot of coordination and although it was hard, the routines were learned because of the togetherness of the squad."

The Silks were led by tri captains Jen Thomas, Meg Anders, and Jen Anderson.

This year, they incorporated dance moves and new twirls into their routines, making super performances. Jen Thomas commented, "It gave the rou-

tines more movement rather than just standing there."

There almost wasn't a Cougarette Squad this year, until Captains Danielle Cunningham and Kim Testa recruited a dozen girls to join the fun.

The name was changed to the Springfield Dance Line. Also, they opted to concentrate on modern dancing rather than the traditional pom pom routines, a fact that pleased the audience. "After looking at other bands we decided to change," said Kim Testa This year saw the front units at their best. Special thanks should be given to Mr. Cooper and his wife.

Not only did the front units do a great job, they had a fabulous time doing it!

Marching Along What do you think the football games would have been like without the spirit pumping sound of the SHS Band? Well, thanks to this year's band director, Mr. Kevin Cooper, we are all glad that we didn't have to answer that question.

We all knew the wonderful talents of Mr. DelNegro would be hard to replace so we were apprehensive of the future. We thought things would be tough since many of last year's seniors graduated. However, the 1990-91 season was extremely successful.

Working with the small numbers, Mr. Cooper and the Band strove to do their best. We don't think anyone was displeased with the result on the field. In fact, the Band received many compliments on their improvement, both on sound and appearance. We created quite a spectacle on the field with difficult routines to such songs as "Summertime" and "American Finale" that were led by Drum Majors Rebecca Taber and Miku Shiota.

Additionally, the Band took part in many parades. The annual Halloween Parades at the grade schools were

held, along with a first time trip to Don Guanella. They were a delight to do; the children enjoyed them thoroughly. There were also the St. Patrick's Day Parade and the Memorial Day Parade. One Band member, Brian Demnicki, commented, "Parades allow the community to see what we're learning and our talent."

After the football season was over, Concert Band began. This gave Band members an opportunity to concentrate solely on the musical side of performing. The Spring Concert showcased these talents.

Through it all, Band members had fun. There was always a cooperative spirit and a desire to help one another.

Nancy Seidel stated "The size of the Band allowed us to work together like a family because everyone knew one another."

The year ended with an enjoyable trip to Hershey Park along with the other musical groups. This day trip included an adjudication and time spent having fun on the rides.

A Group Effort Commitment, ambition, and musical abilities were the qualities of the Springfield High School Orchestra.

This year's orchestra was guided by the baton of a new director, Mr. Kevin Cooper. Working hard, the group was able to perform many difficult musical compositions during the year.

The winter, spring, and AARP concerts along with Commencement provided opportunities for the orchestra to show its expertise.

Individual members were also able to excel by earning positions in the District Orchestra and a few were tal-

ented enough to perform in Regional Orchestra. Additionally, four orchestra members took part in a special Honors Orchestra in Philadelphia.

The orchestra was adjudicated at Hershey Park where an exciting day was had by all from the tremolos of the strings to the shrieks of the roller coaster rides.

Each orchestra member had to work hard individually this year to produce the group's note perfect harmony and to continue the tradition of excellence set by orchestras of the past.

A Musical Tale As the last note of the Hallelujah Chorus sounded, relief could be felt in the air. The tension of only hours before had evaporated and the Winter Concert was over.

One hundred fifty-eight members strong, the choir, led by Mrs. Susan Descano, rose to the top again this year. Choir was a group effort. Everyone had to cooperate to create one unified sound. Choir was not a place for those who wanted individual recognition or fame, but rather, a place for those who had a lot to contribute to the group. Together, not individually, we all shone. We did shine in the Winter Concert, Spring Concert, and Graduation.

Various members of the group excelled personally as well as with the group.

Through hard work and de-

termination, ten of our members were selected for District Chorus and several went on to Regional Chorus. The pop group, a select group of students, sang for a variety of programs away from school, including a Women's Club meeting and elementary school assemblies As we bid the seniors farewell, we thank them for their contributions and willingness to help the underclassmen. You have all been positive role models and helped the choir to maintain its tradition of excellence. It was never too late to join Choir. Senior Peter Bruinsma commented, "I have really enjoyed being in the Choir this year. My only regret was that 1 did not join as a freshman."

ONCLUSION

Once upon a time a big group of kids wanted to grow up.

When they were very small they would talk about the far off future when they would be in high school. Before they knew it, this future was upon them, and looking around they saw the minds and bodies of young adults taking the place of the small elementary school figures they knew so well.

I know that it is hard to realize, but we've finally made it. The 1990-91 school year has flown past and it is now that it is all rapidly coming to a close that we can sit back and think about what we've been through.

Freshmen; you have conquered the first step, on to bigger and better things, like term papers and Bio labs! Sophomores; you are climbing one step higher on the high school ladder, and there's only one thing that I can leave you with, beware of the seminar report! Juniors; it is you who should be excited. You've reached the coveted position of seniors, and get prepared for senioritis to kick in about ohh, November!

To the Class of 1991; we have been through so much together. In all our hurry to get out we can now think about how special these past four years have been.

I think that as every person who contributed to the production of this book holds it in their hands, they can feel the same sense of accomplishment as I do. Countless hours of laughter, stress and hard work went into the making, and now it seems all worthwhile.

I leave you with the final chapter in the 1991 story.

We were all once those little kids who looked towards high school with anticipation. So, as our future looms ahead with either college, work, or those last few years at SHS in view we can sit back and remember the childhoods we've shared, the memories we've made, and the stories we've told over the course of the 1991 year.by Wendy Bruce.

,, The end of the year for seniors is such a time of mixed emotions.

We're all excited to go away, but it's sad to leave behind the friends we've made. , , -Susan Plummer 12

,, This year I hope for peace, love, and power to the hopelessly insane.' , -Steve Repsher 10

,, The most memorable part of this year was my 6th period lunch with my friends. " -Sherrie Donaghy 10

The Final Chapter

163

TIM2S TIMES Let's start with the freshman year. That was one big challenge in itself. Just being able to get your locker open made you the hero for the day. Scrambling through the hallways like rats in a maze, little bodies with lost eyes search for their right room numbers.

Could it be behind door # I? Nope. Try door # 2. Do I dare ask an upperclassman?! Maybe it's on the third floor next to the pool.

Being the underdog can be frustrating at times but there is always the knowledge that next year these lowly creatures transform into sophomores. Sophomore year can be seen as a transition stage. You're not old enough to be considered an upperclassman yet don't want to be grouped with the frosh. At least now you're familiar with the school and its hallways (except for those hidden satellites!).

Major happenings this year are the candy sale, class rings, and the Soph¡ Hop. Moving up to the junior year, we find that we are now considered upperclassmen and people actually look up to us. We know most of the teachers and what things we can get What's this..•a new species of cougar? Hey Rune, can you rreowrr for us?l

Besides concern for iVorid happenings SHS stu-

dents were busy with school and their ever exciting social lives. When the weekend finally rolled around we would find ourselves hard at work making plans for the two short free days.

1990-91 was a big year at the box office, with hits like Ghost, The Godfather III, and Dances with Wolves. Often times we found ourselves back at school during the weekends, either playing on or cheering for one of our

many talented athletic teams. Eating was always a main activity, and SHS regulars could be found any night at Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, or Yogurt. When all else failed most of us resorted to just plain hanging out with friends. It was a time to relax and let go.

For the seniors, the year 1991 will be remembered for more than just another school year. We have been together not only as a class

but as a close knit group of friends for twelve years.

The friends we've made are the best and closest ones we've ever known, and as we start out on our new lives the memories we have made will remain a strong part of us. Think back to how much we have changed over the past four years, we are now adults ready to take on whatever the world has to offer. We have left our mark as Simply the Best class.

ith a very competitive season, the varsity boys' baseball team ended with the Central League Title. This is the second year in a row they've been the Central League Champs; hopefully, even though they're losing seniors Steve Bent, Ray Brown, Jesse Fahnestock, Greg Forgione, Jody Goane, Brian Stumpf, and Jeff Sutton they've started a tradition that will last for many years.

With a record of 2-16 the varsity girls' softball team, under the directon of Coach Marintino, ended a disappointing season. Even though they experienced physical defeat, their mental attitudes and spirits never gave up. They had a winning disposition even when they lost by the ten run rule. Hopefully the spirit and dedication will remain with the team even after seniors Diana D'Alessio, Dina D'Alonzo, Denise Flaherty, Kirstin Horan, Alyson Nancarrow, Tracy O'Neill, and Krissy Riebel move on.

The Persian Gulf War ended... A new sports complex was planned for Pl11iladelphia... Fifties Day... 2 Live Crew... Seniors survived Washington D.C..... Soviet Republics demanded their independence...

Robin Hood danced to the screen ... Aid was sent to Kurdish refugees... Twelve Caesars... Great Valley Hilton... Christil1l WOI7I b..e Braunsdorf...

Seniors made plans for the shar-e... Everyone grew a year older and a y'ear wiser. . . Soldiers began to return home. .. Cougar returned and banner recaptured ...The Class of 1991 said goodbye... The yearbook changed hands and Here's Where the Story Ends became the request of the night. ..and it looked like everyone would live happily ever after.
