TO TALK ABOUT Scri ve ner 2001

Springfi eltJ Hi gh School

Volum e 67

Something To Begin With. • • On September 6, 2000, the halls of Springfield High School were once again filled with students and faculty who were excited about the upcoming school year. The faculty welcomed students back from summer and into the new school year with smiling faces and lots of homework. The seniors were enthusiastic for all of the events and privileges that senior year entails. With a sense of maturity, the junior class came back to Springfield High with the new-earned

status of upper classmen . No longer the youngest class in the school, the sophomores were able to calmly enter the school without the fear of getting lost . On the other hand, the freshmen were obviously unaccustomed to the

larger school, which will be their home for the next four years . N ew haircuts, new clothes, summer tans, and new attitudes were prevalent in many of the students on the first day of school. Some students were ready to pick up where they left off last year, while many others anticipated a fresh new start.

The first day of the 20002001 school year proved to be successful in all aspects; this was a good indicator of what to expect throughout the year.

StudentS Patrice Hughes, Valerie Nesbitt, Ashley ColantcmiQ; -and Kerin Sweeney all gather in the main lobby, their usuaf meeting place, before the first day of their junior year. These girls are glad to now be upperdassmen of the school. Even though their faces are all smiles, it is an unhappy day for these juniors who were not happy to see their exoung .'~ufl~lm'~r vacation end. Even girls have been up the past two weeks voHeyball, and T~,Jackie

To keep up with the change that comes along with the passing of time, things are continually changing at SHS .

With the filtration of new teachers, programs, and curriculum, things rarely stay the same. The class of 2004 has a new reading program to be completed throughout their four years at SHS that is a graduation requirement.

Freshmen, sophomores, and juniors have more credits to complete than the present seniors. However, to the dismay of many, seniors must have an A average to be exempt from final exams. To the advantage of many, Dr. Kelly made a change in the distribution of gold passes this year: all senior students received a gold pass in the beginning of the school year unlike other years when a student's past record determined eligibility for the pass.

To keep with the movement in society, our school must constantly update our programs, therefore, we always have something to get used to.

--oNI9-.

Dr. Kelly has made many changes for the 2000-2001 school year. One of the various controversial issues the change in the senior exemption from finals. Brian Morrison is studying in the GIS room in hopes that he does well in class, he won't have to take his finals.

Senior Kurt Eckman is pictured flaunting his gold pass. Now with a schedule full of studY balls, Kurt finally ~as earned his privilege to go home or leave school during those periods.

ÂŤ

Senior Jeff Timey needs to get used to the fact that his schedule does not consist of all study halls. Catching a quick nap In Advanced Placement Physics ,probably is not such a good idea.

Mr. Heath is a familiar face in the school, but now there is a new prefix in front of his..name - Coach. He is the new coach for the football team. The players love having him as a coach and it is apparent that he was the perfect choice for this coaching position.

A <::hange

the school day schedule was made which allows a passing time between first period and advisory. BeG.tlse of thiS, students ha\( a hance to stop at the cafeteria to ~ to eat. Sel'lror Dean Kemp needs a cup of coffee to sday.

Something That Is In

STYLE

Downloading songs off of the Internet is one of the new fads.

Why buy a cd for seventeen dollars when you can burn the music for free? Even if students do not own a cd burner, they make a library of music from Napster and can access and listen to free music at all times.

One vehicle that is very popular this year is the Jeep Wrangler. Our parking lot at SHS is graced with the presence of multiple Jeeps. The one shown in this picture is owned by senior Jodi McHenry.

FASHION! FORD MUSTANG

Ford Mustangs are a familiar sight in the student parking lot also. Senior Nick Gallo is hanging out at his car during study hall to make sure that nothing happens to his precious Mustang.

For athletes, senior year is the season which they are hopeful to become captain. A captain is someone who shows leadership towards the team on and off the field. The captains of the field hockey team were Jackie Bowers, Diane Aitken, Mariana Orloff, and Shaun Dougherty.

Captain of tennis was Carrie O'Connell. Leading girls soccer were Kristi Soroka and Lauren Goane. Guiding the boys team was Mike Petrylak and Jeff Tirney. The golf team captains were Ben Mortenson and Shane Werley. The captain of the volleyball team was Tina McKnight. The football captains were Dave Shell and Mike Levy.

As in years past, Homecoming Saturday was a busy day for all athletes. All sports, excluding football, had their games on their home field in the morning hours of Saturday, September 16, 2000. At 1:00 in the afternoon the football team faced Strath Haven on our home territory. Many of our fall sports teams proved to be successful on Homecoming, which made the day even more exciting. The Homecoming traditions of SHS were a memorable experience for all students, especially the seniors.

Jractice for the season began in August, before school ;tarted, for the Springfield Marching Band. They worked vigorously for the season in the sweltering heat to pre)are for their half-time show. Their half-time show con;isted of three songs having to deal with space, which Nas the theme of the season. Songs from 2001, Mars,

Apollo 13, and Jupiter were played on the field to the crowd at the football games. The band also participates in several different parades including the ever popular Halloween parade. The band presents a night of letting loose with their Band-O-Rama. This night includes playing all their stand songs for the parents and the community.

Color Guard

Here is the Color Guard marching along in the traditional Halloween parade. This is one of the fun times the Guard has because they are allowed to choose their own costumes. Many guard members dressed as Charlie's Angels and G.t. Janes. This event gives the guard the chance to let loose and have some much needed and deserved fun.

Guard member Michelle Eley shows off her favorite part of the performance. The guard performs all during the year but th eir favorite performance is at Band-O-Rama. Here, the guard gets to just have a fun time and show off all their amazing routines.

This year the Outdoor Color Guard put on a show that was just "Out Of This World!" Their season began in August with the band camp. They also had their own practices to make sure each girl knew the routine. It featured music from the movies "Apollo 13" and "Space Odyssey 2000." The guard had new outfits with shirts that were in a variety of different colors to go along with the space theme. One change that was brought upon the guard was a new instructor, Kelly Hensley, a student at West Chester University. Although the guard was not as big this year, the show was still a great experience. The half-time show featured the basics: flags, rifle s, sabers, and of course, dance. These things combined to add some excitement to the Cougar football season.

Guard members Jill Backall, So Hyun Kim, and Dixie Dunbar are dressed warmly for this end of the seaso n game . These three have enjoyed color guard ever since they were freshman. When the guard is not on th e field performing, they are in the stands dancing along with the great tunes coming from the marching band.

At the winter concert, Mr. Cooper, the director, conducted the orchestra to the melodious tune "Finlandia," which the orchestra handled wonderfully. Be sides being strong in sound and pitch, the string section blended well with the brass and woodwinds. In January, Springfield hosted the District 12 Orchestra. The school, faculty, and community were very proud and worked hard to make sure the festival ran smoothly. Many of Springfield' s own musicians participated in this fe stival including Jasper Ho, Krista Feliciani, Rob Bell, Chris D'Esposito, Phil Runkel, Brian Giuliani, Kim Wagner, and Gregg Byrne.

STUDENT COUNCIL They are the organizers, the dictators, and the representatives of the entire student body; they are the Student Council. Each year the council prepares events that not only get us out of class early but also invoke our true school spirit. Spirit Day allows time in the day to devote our attention to Springfield's Blue & Gold.

This includes the cheerleaders and other athletic groups. A Pep Rally is held at the end of the day which psyches everyone up for the football team's next big game. An annual bonfire is also an event brought by Student Council. Here everyone gathers around a large lump of burning coals while watching an opposing team's mascot melt at the summit. Other such activities brought to us by Student Council include Homecoming, Blood Drive, the Turkey Fund, Toys for Tots, Father Daughter Dance, badminton tournament, dances, and other events along the way.

For everyone's information, the rally didn't bite. In

fact it was a lot of fu n fo r all. So what if the PA system wasn't wo rking. Student Cou ncil President Brian Morrison took the plac e of the machine and acted as a human microphone in orde r to keep the crowd alive. Brian's brother Paul Triggiani helped

by holding up this lovely sign.

While the issue of the environment might be global, here in Springfield we have STARE (Students Towards Animal Rights and the Environment). This group of stu dents get the chance to deal with animal rights and the environment. They meet monthly at night to discuss new issues.

Mrs. Dannaker, their advisor, along with the officers, plans many events including park clean - ups, fund raisers, and the Write-A-Thon . The Write-A-Thon, which joins Amnesty International and STARE together, gives students the chance to write letters about some issues that they feel strongly about. With all the enthusiasm the students put forth, the rewards that the community and other peers receive makes everything worth it. STARE might be acting locally, but their impact will affect everyone globally.

AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL The idea of political prisoners in the US is a rare circumstance.

However, in many countries around the world political prisoners are the majority of its criminals.

Amnesty International is a club here at Springfield that helps students become aware of uninviting situations in foreign countries.

Such problems could include political prisoners, child labor, gender abuse, and many others. It is Am nesty' s job to write letters to these countries in hopes to ease the views of stern authorities.

Every year at the Amnesty/STARE Write-A-Thon, students take time

Officer Brian Morrison is taking some time out from being an activist and is hanging out in the GIS room researching some new organizations for Amnesty to write to.

Officer jen Sang diligently writes in this years WriteA-Thon. Though she is involved in many other activities, jen finds Amnesty to be one of the most rewarding, since she is unselfishly taking time to write letters in hopes to directly aid others in need .

junior Nahreen Ahmed and Senior Kevin Brady have both been part of the Amnesty/STARE WriteA-Thon for three years . They continue to come back knowing that what they do will help those in need across the globe. This club draws many people who have the strong opinions that Amnesty addresses.

Operation Smile & Bocay Project Operation Smile/Bocay Project is an ever-growing organization that aids those who are truly in need. The club is led by four officers: Mariana Orloff (President), Amanda Gessay (Vice Pres~ ident), Ben Wood (Secretary), and Lindsay Lustig (Treasurer). This is the second year that Operation Smile has been both a fundraising organization for children with facial deformities and a financial aid to those in Nicaragua. In just one fundraiser, Penny Piles Make Big Smiles, this organiza-

tion was able to raise more than $4000. This was a result of the incredible generosity of SHS students and faculty. Once again, Mr. Trout and his homeroom raised the most. This year he was awarded a plaque for his outstanding contributions to the cause. Aside from Penny Piles, Opera- . tion Smile is looking to hold many more fundraising events. This includes frequent bake sales, a second annual Egg Day for elementary school students, and a toy drive among many others . . :~

c ess c u What used to be a board game for the intellectual has made itself into a SHS after school organization.

This has been the first full year since the Chess Club's birth back at the end of 2000. The founder of this club is Junior Jasper Ho. He came up with the idea his sophomore year when brainstorming for a GIS project. Originally, the club consisted of a couple chess players getting together after school

for a few quick games, however it has drastically expanded. This year the Chess Club held it's first large scale tournament. Currently the title is up in the air; the finals have yet to take place. Seniors Steve Underwood and Nate DiGiorgio are in the champion game. The Chess Club hopes to grow in up coming years and eventually branch out to other schools in the area.

Science Olympiad The Science Olympiad team is a group of very hard-working students with many interests in the sciences. This team studies many different areas of science to participate in a regional competition of schools. The competition consists of twenty-two events ranging from the Chemistry and Physics Labs to Experimental Design. These tests are meant to test the students scientific knowledge and inventiveness. There is also a portion of competition that requires the school to actually build functional devices; for example, the Tower Building event. Under the direction of Mr. Zumpano, the team meets every Saturday to help test other team members. The team is also led by senior members who led the group through the months before the competition in March. If a team does well at the regional competition, they can advance to the state competition. In the past Springfield High School has done very well at the regional com petition.

Senior jen Sang is astonished that she got the answer right. Many of the events ask difficult questions that are not covered in high school sciences. Kurt Eckman, however, always knew she could get the right answer.

Mr. Zumpano is busy working on the detai ls for the competition. Mr. Zumpano is a big help to the team because he fills out all the paper work but he also helps out by being a science teacher.

Senior Steve Underwood reviews his plans for " Mission Possible," one of the few, but also most comp licated building events that the team needs to compete in.

Being the advisors of Comm unity Service is a big job, but Mrs. Descano an Ms. Snyder take all the responsibilities well. These two are great friends an find working together is a great chance to strengthen that fri endship.

The Community Service/Leo Lions Club is obviously one of the most important groups we have here at Springfield High School. Other clubs around school do things to benefit either the immediate school population or causes across the sea, however Community Service club acts to help those needy in our surrounding environment. By aiding those around us it is more likely that the volunteers will witness the positive results of their time invested . Such community activities that took place this year are the annual trips to Harlee Manor for Christmas and Valentine's Day, Adopt-A-Highway, Turkey Drive, Senior Citizens Prom, Cookie Contest, among many others. Community Service had a truly successful year.

I Football

The Whole 9 Yards his year's Football team entered le 2000 season young, inexperi nced and excited. There were a ,=w changes in the program com19 into the fall season. Most notaIly, Mr. Heath took over for Mr. aylor as head coach of the team.

Vith a fresh new look, all of the Ilayers and coaches were eager } show what they could do . Sen)r captains Mike Levy and Dave hell provided outstanding leaderhip to a team that returned just ve players with varsity experince . The Cougars struggled early s several key players were in 'Jred. Just when they seemed to et everyone back, someone else ot hurt. Never the less, the Couars approached every game with dmirable enthusiasm and played } win. No matter what the scoreloard said, everyone played their

hardest until the final whistle blew. The team's best game arguably was the season finale at Phoenixville, where sophomore quarterback Kevin Mulkern connected on two touchdown passes to junior wider receiver Dan Onofrio. The game was proof that the team had improved since the start of the season, and it left promise for next year. The inexperience and injuries this season were a bit of a blessing in disguise, for many young Cougars got the chance to play. This provided an excellent learning opportunity and experienced bodies for the future.

Next year's squad returns 42 players from this year's team, 28 with varsity experience. With a solid off-season the Cougars look to return to the upper echelon of the Central League.

Sophomore quarterback Kevin Mulkern surveys his options down the field. Kevin gained a lot of experience this year and developed his skill s tremendously.

The 2000 golf team's season was nothing short of phenomenal. Just two years ago Springfield's golf team was winless in the league.

This year, the Cougars were an amazing 7-2 in the league and 115-1 overall. This sudden turnaround is mostly due to the solid play of junior co-captains Ben Mortenson and Shane Werley, and sophomore sensation Mike McFadden. Freshman A.J. Tomasello and senior Dave Dockery gave the team depth and consistency that kept the Cougars close in every match. Senior T.J. Henderson, junior Eric Miller, and sophomore Matt Crunkleton also contributed to the team's success.

74

The Cougars proved that they were for real when they defeated league powerhouse Conestoga early in the season. Springfield's only two league losses came to Radnor by 1 stroke and Marple by 6. Their 7-2 record was good enough to finish 3rd in a very competitive Central League. In the post-season, the Cougars received 4th place in the Central League Championships. In this tournament, Ben Mortenson and Mike McFadden qualified for Districts. Senior Ch rissy Milkowski also qualified for the girls division.

Wi t h many players ret urning next year, the Cougars are sure to be back at t he top of the league.

Volleyball

The Girls' Volleyball team had a very exciting season this fall, ending with a record of 17-5, the best recorded in years. The players started off the season on a high note by defeating a stunned Haverford squad. Springfield was the only team to do so during the season. By the halfway point of the season the Lady Cougars were the team to beat with a record of 9-0.

By the end of the season the girls had compiled a record of 16-4, which earned them a high seed in the district playoffs. The Cougars easily beat Sun Valley in the first round and lost to district cham pions Pennsbury in the second round. Junior MVP Ashley Colontonio led the Cougars with her hitting in the front row and defensively in the back row. Senior setter Tina McKnight and junior setter jackie Cifuni were the best setting duo in the Central League.

Their ability to set up Springfield's strong hitters was a key to team

success. junior Sarah Dutton provided the team with some height at the net and proved to be a dominating presence as middle hitter. Freshman Kim Cifuni had a stellar first year, especially on offense. juniors Sarah Affonsa and Marie Carter were also key playmakers on the squad. There were several exciting moments this season. Some of the most memorable included beating Lower Merion 15-0, 15-7, going to the semifinals at the Plymouth-Whitemarsh Tournament, and "Tina-day". The most exciting match of the season was the final game against Penncrest. In front of a lively crowd the Cougars battled a tough Penncrest squad and played their best match of the year. The Cougars are looking forward to next season, with all of the players except one returning. They expect to continue their success and be one of the top teams in the Central League.

The year started off 1 a high note as the Lady CouIrs won the Tip-Off Tournament ith a solid win over a sizeable , nd fundamentally sound nionville team in the championlip game. Unfortunately, the rong start was followed by a ring of heartbreaking losses that as frustrating for all. With the adership of captains Jackie Bow¡s, Lauren Goane, and Sarah Af,nsa, the team was able to pull lemselves out of the slump with )me fine performances. The captins, along with a core consisting f senior Sunday Dyitt and juniors ristin Cellucci, Sabrina Catramone, Marie Carter, and Jackie esbitt, made for a well rounded ld gifted squad boasting versatily and depth. One of the biggest ighlights of the season was the ~am' s victory against a talented trath Haven team, who was in rst place in the Central League at le time. With a tremendous team ffort and defensive intensity, the ady Cougars were able to put trath Haven away. While the ~am was able to turn out some xcellent wins, they suffered a disppointing defeat in the first Jund of the district playoffs to nd their season.

t was a tale of two seasons for this 'ear's Girls' Swim team. The Lady =ougars began the year on a treak by winning their first four neets. The best meet of all was he first of the season at Upper )arby. Without any preseason . ,crimmages or meets, the girls ~ave it all they had and were out,tanding. This hot streak did not :ontinue, unfortunately, and the eam soon found themselves fac. ng much steeper competition.

Nhile the Lady Cougars swam just is well as they always had, the )ther teams were simply too

much for them . This did not put a damper on a memorable season for the girls, though. They always gave their best in meets, and their spirits were never broken. Coach Tesche and Coach Hickey expected commitment and effort out of their swimmers, and that's exactly what they got. When just about every Springfield student was lying cozily in bed, these girls were in the pool for 6 a.m. practices.

With all this gruelling work, every member pushed each other to the limit and thus improved the team .

In order to lighten the mood a bit

and generate camaraderie, senior captains Jodi McHenry, Kiera Burke, and Liz Martin continued the ongoing big sister/little sister tradition. They also started some new traditions of their own, such as sleepovers and team breakfasts . This extra bonding time al lowed the veterans to get to know the rookies, and the girls were much closer because of it. The team won't be the same next year after the large number of seniors depart, but the remaining swimmers are optimistic that they will continue to succeed next season.

The Wrestling team had aver tough season this year, but kep working very hard. New hea( coach Steve Mazurek and his as sistants Coach Ricci and Coad Pecunia asked a lot of the wres tiers this year. They wanted mon discipline, more effort, and mon time devoted to the sport. The students that stayed with the pro gram this year improved im mensely, gained an understandin) of what they have to do to ge better, and realized that true suc cess comes only after hard work The Cougars always did their bes and were led throughout the yea by their senior co-captains Ro~ Sannelli and Mike Levy. They ha< some very good meets and man~ great individual performances juniors Tyler Rapp, Mark Davies and Brian Seeley and sophomore: jim Swan, josh Furia, and MikE Tirney were just a few of the wres tiers who did accel this year. They along with the rest of the team helped to earn some impressivE victories over team s like Cardina O'Hara and Penn Wood. The bes meet of the year, though, had tc be the one against arch enemie~ Ridley. Ridley,' the third rankec team in Delaware County, was ex¡ pected to dominate from start tc finish. The Cougar wrestlers per¡ formed better than anyone anticipated and made the wrestlinE powerhouse sweat out aver) dose victory.

Somethin g To Inspire ¡Us At the time of entrance to elementary school, many students have an idea that teachers do not do the same things as students do. As hard as it may be to believe, teachers are normal! Teachers only goal in life is not to drill their subjects into student's brains, but also to teach students about life.

As a student, have you ever noticed that teachers often add a little life lesson into each class period? The faculty here at Springfield High School is of top of the line quality. Every teacher here at SHS has something different to teach us that will enrich our lives

now and later in life. Many teachers do not only work with students in the classroom, but also outside as coaches, activity advisors, and committee members . Even though students may take our SHS faculty for granted, most of the students of SHS are appreciative of all that the teachers and administrators do, inside and out of school. For that, thank you. While students may perceive teachers as only lecturers, creators of impossible tests, reasons for stress, and assigners of homework, teachers are a lot more than that: they are something to inspire us .

and spending time with their fami lies, they felt overwhelmed. Afte . learning to balance their schedu les they began to relax and enjo' the experience of being a part 0 the High School. Now the chal lenge of becoming a Sophomon awaits.

Something To Aim For Junior Class of 2002 It seems like only yesterday that you stepped into SHS for the first day of school your freshman year. Now, as you finish your junior year, you are nearing the end of the inevitable. For everyone, junior year is very significant.

Everything you do junior year is reflected on your college transcripts. For many of you, your junior year also welcomed many firsts. Your first prom and Snow Dance, the first time taking PSA1's

N ick Sifda is seen here catching up on some reading. Junior year is often said to be the hardest of all four yea rs. With all his work, Nick needs to constantly be doing things to stay on top of his schedu le.

Valerie Turner, Jackie Nesbitt, and Kim Levengood are seen here on their way to an athletic advisory meeting. Thes es three are so in vo lved that some of the only time they have to talk is during chance meetings in the hallways.

and SAT's, and the first chane to take an AP course. And don forget about those wonderfl blue passes. You know the onE that you look forward to for tv\years, but then when you actl ally get them, you realize thE are not that useful. There is als the long and gruelling colleg process. As you wrap up yOl junior year at SHS and reflet back at all of the memories, yo will realize that your time at SH is limited and before you kno' it, you will be graduating.

Ch ris Salerno and Bryan Schafer are doing research on the intern et. Both of them a excited to find the information that they we re looking for. An advantage of Springfie High School is the convienant internet access that is offered to the students.

In Memory of Dave Touchton

I

Under t he hue of fuscia sunrise lies an old hobbit with 'scattered dreams of earth delight.

Hell lies as a shadow to his w heel of nirvana, . w hi le the cries of his lonely soul blow in the wind.

Someone w ill find his green supreme or a reason for life above t he blue.:-. . - Jill Battista Dave, I miss yd~t man. I hope it's nice up there a1td that everythi1tg is alright. Keep 100ki1zg dow; 011 me and everyone else a1td help its make good decisi01zs. I miss seeillg you at school, T J.'s, Wawa, chilli1t, a1zd hackey-sackhz after school.¡ I 'll stay it, touch through praye,: -' bye - talk to you later.

- Dart Gibs011 I go to school everyday, Waiting to see you in the hallway.

Then it comes to me, The better DT I won't see.

Everyday I see students smile, In every student I feel yo ur presence.

For me, it's every stroke of the pen.

Late night pain is filled with writing, Haven't fo rgot my first sighting..

Came to 'me in a dream, or was it?

My Walden Pond, you appeared~ While I was weak and cou ldn't speak.

Showed me the tra il, yo u are right I won't fail.

Everyday I remember things you did, You had so much to give.

Yo u always made people feel better, You crack a joke, or the famous Dave Qear hug.

Showed constant love, and understanding.

One in a mill ion, you were really someth ing, And you w ill never be forgotten.
