The day is renewed in Happy Valley

A sole rooster might be heard as beams of light break from the mountain's ridge; the day is renewed in Happy Valley. Nestled near the heart of town, surrounded by grasses of dew and trees of autumn, she stands. Perhaps slightly overcrowded but always welcoming more, her letters read: State College Area High School.

Shortly the students begin to arrive by the bus load. Within half an hour the lobby holds a noisy crowd of high school students composed of three classes. Each class produces its scholars, musicians, and athletes. Each has a purpose, a motto, a future. And each adds to the total student body picture, thus contributing to the total Happy Valley Community.

The years spent in high school are a time of searching for self identity. For that matter, the years fifteen to eighteen are years of questioning of identity, values, and self worth. Because of this, a person not only questions himself, but also his friends. The older a person becomes, the less he looks to his friends for direction. Therefore, a friend is chosen for genuine honesty and for compatibility.

These are the friendships, whether of the same gender of male female, which will last and be remembered. From these relationships we learn and grow into individuals.

Freetime was something which all students at State High had in common. Everyone had at least five free periods a week and some up to or over sixteen. The diversity was apparent, however, in the ways the time was used. Studying, talking, playing cards, and eating were just a few of the ways people kept themselves occupied. When study hall became too boring, there were those who sported a more daring and adventurous life and left the building. This only made life more interesting due to the stricter hall pass rules and more teachers on monitor duty.

Despite any draw backs, students, for the most part, enjoyed their study halls. But for many, an open campus may have been more beneficial.

As always, State High strove for excellence in all areas, and spirit was no exception. As in past years, spirit was exercised during yet another successful Spirit Week, held October 22 through 27. During the week, band assemblies, a bonfire, and a pep rally all helped to set the scene for Friday night's Homecoming game, which was the last home game of the season. Pregame activities included the crowning of the fall sports kings and queens, plus the announcing of the Homecoming king, Mark Snowdon, and queen, Karla Waite.

Although a new level of school unity had been reached, individual class spirit became evident during the Almost Anything Goes competition between seniors, juniors, and sophomores. Although the juniors held an early lead, the "Ultimate Seniors" battled back to win by a large margin. Although tense and frustrating, the competition offered fun and entertainment. The proceeds went to support Multiple Sclerosis.

At State High, the date dictates the fashion At State High fashion had held different connotations for different people. Every year fashion trends come and go, and this year did not deviate from the norm. Western style seemed to be the fad. Western boots, jean skirts, designer jeans, corduroy and flannel were all in the spotlight. Plus " Candies" and straight skirts completed the picture.

However, here at State, the date played an important role in what was "in" for the day. On September 27, supporters of the Calypso party dressed mainly in short white pants, printed shirts, and straw hats.

Halloween offered a change of fashion for many, as some appeared as members of the mafia, boxing team, or movie industry. Having to show their status, early in September seniors wore their senior T-shirts stating anything from " The Class with Class" to "Seniors, 80." Plus on January 11, SO's style was back into swing with leather jackets and bobby socks.

Although the fashion was sometimes peculiar, State High always did it with style.

Students provide the action A well tuned body equals a well tuned mind: for years studies have been proving this statement. Physical activity produces an alert and healthy mind which can concentrate more easily. If this is true, State High students had an advantage over most schools because of the expanded recreational facilities available, which included the I. M. building, Racquetball Club, Natatorium, Nautilus, Rec Hall, and Skimont.

However, recreational facilities are not a requirement for physical fitness. One of the best pieces of

equipment is fresh air and a clean healthy environment, which is one of Happy Valley's best assets. Jogging, tennis, skating, and skiing are all naturals here. Perhaps that is why State High produced outstanding athletes and scholars; a we ll tuned body does equal a well tuned mind.

For most students, school studies and extra curricular activities occupied much of their time throughout the school year . However, for some students, their schedules allowed time for making money by obtaining a part-time job. In Happy Valley, minors could obtain the required working papers at the Fairmount Elementary school. After applying and being hired, the student was responsible for fitting school work in with his new job.

However, as the minimum wage jumped in January from 2.90 to 3.10, the idea of a part-time job, even for those already busy, became more appealing.

Graduation is a time when the senior class is totally united as one individual group. For many people, this is the first time, and for most, the last. It is a turning point at which we unhappily leave behind some of our friends, but eagerly look forward to making new friends. We break out of the regimented high school system and e nter into a world in which decisions are ours to make. It is with the help of our high school education that we hope to make the right decisions. We are finally free to pursue our interests and our own goals, but we must accept the responsibilities that come with that freedom.

Graduation is a time of mixed emotions: a time for laughter, a time for tears, a time for celebra¡ tion, a time for reflection, a time for a beginning, and an end.

However, whatever road we chose to take, we will forever remain proud of the fact that we belonged to the graduating class of 1980.

Happy Valley students appeared to understand the meaning of practice and hard work, for they all fared well in state competition.

After winning the title of Centre County Junior Miss, Karla Waite traveled on to Reading, Pennsylvania, to compete in the state competition. Although Karla admitted it was a lot of hard work, she enjoyed the experience. Therefore, because of all the enthusiasm she demonstrated throughout the week, she was the recipient of the Spirit of Junior Miss Award.

Adding to the list of state winners were the State College Area High School Square Dancing Teams. In the Pennsylvania Folk Dance competition held at the Farm Show, three divisions of square dancers entered the competition. All three divisions, Centre Squares, Centre Swingers, and Swinging Squares won blue ribbons in the competition.

Soviets invade Afghanistan Few news events this year have caused as much international controversy and outrage as the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. On December 24. 1979. the Soviets began the first airlifts of soldiers and equipment into the capital. Kabul.

According to the Soviets. they were responding to a plea from former President Hafizullah Amin for aid against rebelling Muslims who controlled most of the country. Ironically, a few days later the Soviets executed Amin and replaced him with Babrak Karma!. By late January, 75.000 Soviet troops. consisting of airborne and motorized infantry divisions. were fighting the disorganized Muslim insurgents. numbering from about 20.000-60.000 men depending on the season.

Although the Soviets had expected little American response because of our involvement in the Iranian hostage situaion. President Carter stated that the invasion was a threat to world peace. The Americans expressed their condemnation of the invasion by halting grain sales to the Soviet Union. postponing the Senate SALT debate. canceling cultural and technological exchanges. and limiting Soviet fishing rights in American waters. He also promised aid to Pakistan. whose independence was threatened by the Soviet presence in Afghanistan. His most controversial measure was the proposed American boycott of the summer Olympic games in Moscow unless the Soviets have withdrawn their tropps by mid February.

Other countries joined in the Americar. condemnation of the Soviet presence in Afghanistan in the General Assembly of the United Nations. Members voted 104 to 18 in favor of it. The Soviets have repeatedly vetoed a similar resolution on the Security Council.

Further developments will determine the nature of the episode.

Whether the invasion signals a major change in Soviet foreign policy and whether the American response will effectively discourage the Soviets from any further intervention in foreign countries is not yet known.

Hostages in Iran Since Shah Reza Pahlavi was exiled from Iran early in 1979. the situation there has worsened. Ayatullan Ruhollah Khomeini, who controls the government. unified his country in an Islamic revival.

On November 4. 1979. a mob of Iranians seized the American Embassy with fifty Americans inside.

This mob threatened to try the hostages for espionage unless the Shah was returned to Iran for trial. The Shah. who was in New York being treated for cancer. chose to reside in Panama.

The crisis has had one positive effect: a surge of patriotism in the United States unlike any seen in twenty years has been exhibited.

The shock and indignation has served to unite the people.

Before Thanksgiving fi ve women and eight blacks were released. Another six Americans who had been hidden the Canadian embassy escaped the country January 29.

1980.

The U.S. attempted economic and political pressure to free the fifty. but to no avail. Though military pressure was not used. it was thought that it would have been futile.

The ease with which the mob took over the embassy. left many questions in American's minds.

These questions. including the extent of American influence. remain unanswered and will be a key to foreign policy in the 1980's.

Pope visits On October 1. 1979 Pope J ohn Paul II arrived in the U.S. for a seven-day. six-city tour. This was the first time a Pope had ever come to the United States to visit the people. He drew great crowds at the masses he conducted: one million in Philadelphia, half a million in Chicago. and 400.000 in Boston.

In his sermons he stressed the more conservative view. He emphasized papal condemnation of birth control. divorce. abortion. extra-marital sex. and homosexuality.

He stated that the ordination of either married men or women is not to be considered. Despite his condemnation of many of these things. he was applauded and cheered more than most other leaders.

In the Pope's other travels. much was accomplished. John Paul II pleaded for peace in Ireland. In his native land. Poland. he overcame the barriers of communism and allowed millions to openly express their religion. The Pontiff also visited Mexico. and was planning to visit Brazil. the Philippines. and Southern United States.

Britain's first, Europe's first Margaret Thatcher had become the first woman Prime Minister in both European and British history.

Last May, Thatcher became Britain's Prime Minister when her conservative party won a 43-seat majority in the House of Commons. ousting former Labor Prime Minister James Callaghan. Thatcher had promised to restore Britain to its former greatness and to use her victory to move Britain to the right. favoring the rich, able. and the en-

ergetic: a modern Hamiltonian. She wanted to cut income taxes and to slash government spending. She intended to increase defense spending, curb non-white immigration, and promote law and order. Most of all she meant to tame Britain's powerful labor unions. Many Britons - including those who voted for her - distrusted her rightwing views.

They charged that her policies will increase unemployment and cause a show down with the labor unions

that could paralyze Britain. Thatcher's victory reflected Britain's disenchantment with the Labor party.

Callaghan's failure to avert the rash of strikes in the 1978 winter by everyone from hospital workers to gravediggers turned much of the electorate against Callaghan and his Labor Party. As Callaghan summed Thatcher's victory during his resig¡ nation, "People voted agains last winter. rather than for the Conservatives.''

Gas prices skyrocket Early in 1979 gas prices began to increase sharply. Because of the fear of gas riots and long lines, a five-dollar minimum was set in Pennsylvania. as well as an oddeven gas distribution system that was in effect from June 21 to early September. Gasoline prices were as high as $ L 16 a gallon in some areas.

Compounding the problem was a tense relationship with Mexico. In his State of the Union address in September. President Lopez Por-

tillo stated that Mexico had 45 billion gallons of oil and natural gas.

However, because of disputes over both oil and other matters, including illegal immigrants and tomatoes, Mexico appeared reluctant to sell its oil to the U.S. Little was seen that can be done.

After the Three-Mile-Island incident in April. 1979. nuclear power as a main source of energy was being played down. The oil cartel. OPEC, can set its prices , and the energy. consuming U.S. continues to pay.

Downfall of a dictator in Nicaragua After nineteen months of fighting, General Anastasio (" Tacho" ) Somoza Debayle was forced to leave his country and give the government over to a temporary council on July 17. The Sandista National Liberation Front, a querrilla group, had attacked many cities, including the capital, Managua.

Somoza had slowly lost all sup port from countries a round the

world. His soldiers and the Sandistas battled ferociously over every inch of territory. The forty-six year rule of the Somozas ended and the five man junta of Sandistas and anti-Somozan businessmen took over. Somoza left his country a wasteland . after a civil war that left 15,000 dead and 500,000 homeless. The count ry had been plagued by looting and food shortages. The

major industries were bombed, as well as the crops. which provided 80% of the foreign exchange.

The new government was a balanced cabinet of fifteen men who represented all facets of politics.

This was pleasing to the Carter Administration, which feared a radical council with strong anti-American fee lings similar to the recently established government in Iran.

Soviet troops in Cuba The first week in September the U.S. State Department reported the presence of a 2000-3000 man Soviet combat force in Cuba. emphasizing the fact that it posed no threat to American safety. U.S. intelligence had been receiving hints of the Soviet presence since spring of 1979, but reports were not confirmed until August 17 when satellite pictures actually revealed the troops performing military maneuvers.

Frank Church. chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. publicly announced the Sovi· et's presence August 30. later saying that the U.S. Senate would not ratify the SALT II treaty until the brigade was removed. Preside nt Carter stated that the situation was unacceptable and that the United States would take appropriate actions to change it. He then called in

a panel of foreign policy authorities to give suggestions for U.S. actions. at the same time stressing the fac t that the situation was not nearly as serious as the 1962 Cuban missle crisis. Secretary of State Cyrus Vance met with Soviet officials who claimed that the force had been in Cuba since 1962 and that its only purpose was to train the Cuban military.

few hours and two days later jumped another $16. Since the beginning of the 1979 year. the price of gold jumped more than 68% .

The problem lies in the fact that there are too many buyers and too few sellers. Triggered by the deterioration of the U.S. dollar and in· flation, buyers. mostly three major Swiss Banks. Germany's powerful Dredner Bank. a few North Ameri· can Industrialists. and some MidEastern buyers. decided to hedge against inflation by switching some of their paper currency holdings into what they regard as the world's most tangible asset. There simply has been no way for the supply t o keep up with the increasing demand. The bulk of the World's gold is in bullions that are frozen as part

of the monetary reserves of the leading industrial nations. and the annual production. of less than 1.400 tons· mostly from South Af· rica and the Soviet Union - is barely enough to keep up with demands for coinage. jewelry. dental fillings. and industrial products. With this shortage, many investors have turned to silver which in one week climbed from $2.60 to $ 15.75 an ounce.

This continental surge of gold prices has everyone concerned and speculating. Some people have said tha t $900 per ounce is not impossible while others have said that the price of gold will soon plummet.

Resignation of Andrew Young Last August the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, Andrew Young, submitted his resignation to President Carter. Leaders in Washington and other capitals around the world were startled by his resignation, for Young has demonstrated an extraordinary capacity to survive controversies that he had generated during his thirty-one months at the United Nations. However, it was learned that Young had met with an official of the Palestine Liberation Organization, in violation of repeatedly stated U.S. policy, and then deliberately misled the Department of State about the meeting.

In his attempt to establish diplomatic ties with the PLO. Andrew Young not only embarrassed Secretary of State Cyrus Vance. but had also enraged Israel with the threat of derailing U.S. diplomacy in the Middle East.

American black leaders, on the

other hand, were angry at Carter for so readily accepting Young's resignation, and they hinted that Carter might pay with lost black votes in the next election. Several blacks blamed the dismissal on Jewish pressure and warned that an exacerbate tension and fissure would come between the blacks and the Jews. Young's clandestine meeting came at the time when U.S. diplomacy in the Middle East was at its nadir. It presents a bulwark to the Egyptian-Israeli peace negotiations in which the Israeli's blame the U.S. for siding with the Palestinians and of trying to revoke U.N. Resolution 242, which guarantees Israel the right to exist as a sovereign state. Despite controversies, his covert meeting has stirred and the precarious position in which it places the U.S., Andrew Young doesn 't regret his actions.

And after the moaning, groaning, complaining, and defaulting that always accompany tennis, two young people emerged as the champions of the '79 U.S. Open.

John McEnroe, 20, is the youngest national men's champion since Pancho Gonzales in 1948. Tracy Austin, 16, is the youngest champion · male or female · in the history of the U.S. Open. Both McEnroe and Austin displayed toughness and determination that outshown every

Calypso party On September 29, 1979, a "Calypso" Party was held near Rebers· burg, PA. The party organizers arranged for rides to the location and ticket sales.

The original purpose of the party was to be a calypso style dance.

Many of the participants wore west Indian style dress to school the day of the party. Reports varied as to the actual activities at the party, and also as to the number of people involved. The Center Daily Times reported that the event was "a mass beer party" with participants using various drugs, ranging from marijuana to cocaine, drinking alcohol, fornicating in the fields, and firing shotguns. However some participants stated that, while alcohol was present, none or few of the other activities mentioned previously occurred. It was known that a State High senior, Brian Joyce, was seriously injured at the party and was taken to the hospital for surgery. Reports concerning attendance at the party also varied, ranging from fifty to three hundred persons.

Many people were upset that the school was tied to t he events at this party. The administrators knew lit· tie about the party and it was not a school activity. However, much of the blame for the difficulties at the party was attached to the school.

Skylab's fiery fall Skylab, an orbiting research station launched by NASA in 1973, fell from its orbit this past summer.

Since NASA officials were uncertain about the exact time at which Skylab would fall, the region particles would hit if they were not burned up during re-entry was not determined until shortly before the actual drop. Even though the probabiiity of a piece of the space craft landing on a specific individual was extremely remote - one in six hundred billion - NASA was the target of severe criticism for allowing a potentially dangerous event to happen.

Space program officials were aware of the possibility of such an episode even before Skylab was launched. Skylab had not been built with re-entry rockets because of their potential danger to crews aboard the space craft and the fact that only one-fourth of falling space hardware ever reaches Earth. To fire a missile at Skylab to destroy it would not only violate international law but also scatter its debris over a wider area. Scientists and space technicians had been using a computer to decide whether it would be wiser to reposition Skylab, alter it orbit, or simply leave it alone.

In addition to many other slight adjustments, on June 20 the space craft was turned to a sideways position to slow its forward motion. Because Skylab's path of orbit was so wide, it was difficult to estimate the point at which it would re-enter the atmosphere. Possible areas endangered by falling particles were China, the U.S., India, and Europe.

NASA organized teams to rush to emergency sites. Fortunately, 75% of Skylab's descent to fireworks or train lights in the sky.

Skylab's fall prompted different reactions among different people.

While the U.S. government anxiously awaited a possible foreign conflict, most America n took the

50 â&#x20AC;˘ Valley Viewer

incident lightly. Skylab survival kits, insurance policies, T-Shirts, and welcoming parties flourished. Psychics joined forces to try to mentally push the spacecraft into a higher orbit. The Examiner of San Francisco offered a 10,000 dollars prize for the first piece anyone found. In some countries, however, the people worried about their safety and foreign opinion of the U.S. space program fell.

The orbiting station, aboard which a former record of living in space for 84 days had been set, had had a series of functional problems since it was launched. Some critics blamed the entire incident on the low budget allotted to the project.

The cheap materials used to save money had developed problems and made Skylab difficult to control. Also partly responsible were communication difficulties caused by increased sunspot activity. Skylab's descent will almost surely bring about a careful evaluation of space program's future projects.

The Who On Monday, December 3, 1979 the rock group, "The Who," played at the Cincinnati Riverfront Coliseum. Though over 18,000 tickets had been sold less than 20% of them were for reserved seats. When the doors finally opened, the surge of people was so great that eleven people were pushed down and suffocated, while another eight were injured. "The Who" played their normal twohour concert so that the crowd already inside the auditorium would not riot. The question of responsibility has not yet bee n answered.

Since the end of the Vietnamese conflict a refugee problem has arisen in Southeast Asia partly because sheer numbers were too great for nearby countries to handle, and partly because the largest body of exiles were victims of the cynical, racist policies of the Hanoi government. The Vietnamese refugees were leaving their homeland at a rate of 65,000 a month, and their departure was enriching the Hanoi government.

According to the refugees, this government was forcing its Chinese to choose between leaving the country or moving to one of the "new economic zones" - that is, rural labor camps. Western intelligence agencies were convinced that Hanoi wanted to get rid of its one million Chinese. Yet, in the Catch¡ 22 manner, the government was charging those who wanted to leave. The price was $2,000, payable in gold or hard currency.

Discrimination against the Chinese in Vietnam regained things as dismissal from government jobs, and being forbidden to conduct private businesses help form this pattern of discrimination. Upon leaving the country, they were required to declare that, " I am happy to give my property to the Vietnamese governme nt."

Only the Soviet Union had defended the actions of the Hanoi Government supporting their proposals for a solution to the refugee problem, yet, the refugees fleeing asked one question, "But where can we go?" The refugees had synpathizers in many countries yet no country could possibly take in all the refugees but maybe a few.

These people had one thing going for them: Their predecessors who fled Vietnam after the fall of Saigon in 1975, had adjusted well to life in Western Europe and the U.S.; maybe they could too.

The grounding of a fleet Prompted by the crash of an American Airlines DC-10 jumbo jet near Chicago's O'Hare International Airport on Memorial Day weekend that killed 275. came the grounding of 270 DC-10 airplanes around the world. While the experts from the National Transportation Safety Board hunted for both the cause and cure, airlines using these planes lost an estimated $5 million per day. These groundings resulted in confusion and tedious delays in airport terminals as pas-

sengers tried to get seats on flights.

The issue through out was why had the plane's left engine literally taken off on its own as the plane was rising from the runway at O'Hare. The four-ton engine, exerting a thrust of 40,000 lbs .. had ripped away with the pylon that attached it to the wing.

Upon close examination, the flaw was detected. The pylon, which attaches the engine to the wing. was to be defective. The examiners found a hair line crack to be the

cause. The Federal Aviation Administrator Langhorne Bond ordered the planes to be closely examined then repaired.

The manufacturers, the airlines, and the FAA all are striving for safety, yet the evidence stemming from the DC-10 debacle was that procedures should be tightened even more, despite the excellent safety record of the industry. In the era of the wide-bodied jet. any failure can be a disaster.

"In math and science courses now, it's not the calculation that counts, it's how it is done."

- Tracy Spalvins

Calculators They are an expanding innovation Everyone is using calculators. They range in ability from simple arithmetic computations to complex calculus functions requiring programming. Because computer technology has grown tremendously in the past four years. and in particular the progress made with calculators, everyone can fine one model to suit his budget. The most popular model owned by students is the TI-30 by Texas Instruments. Having trigonometric functions, it is capable of doing the calculations required for most science and math classes. It is also within a price range high school students can afford. A few students own programmable calculators, where chips can be bought and installed, to perform advanced mathematicai caicuiations. Whiie teachers have qualms about students' dependency on these hand-held computers for calculations, students fe'e l the method used in solving the problem is more important that the actual calculation.

A growing program In an effort to improve their teaching facilities, the science department established a science resource center this year. A room at the end of the science wing was constructed to accommodate the needs of the new center. The center provides information on science careers as well as an abundance of information on many areas of scientific interest. The diversified amount of information allowed students from any of the science courses to take advantage of the new center. Students were also able to expand their scientific know-how in the field trips taken by various classes throughout the year. The science department, by offering these alternative teaching devices, hoped to maintain a high level of interest in the students within the science program.

Bypassed by many students during their free periods. the library often gave way to places. such as the lobby and the cafeteria to occupy thier time during study halls. These places provided an informal atmosphere where students were free to socialize and study. The library remained full most periods, though it had a more controlled atmosphere and provided a place to go when it was necessary for students to do some conscientious studying. Another alternative was the quiet stud y hall room which had been moved to a room downstairs so that a new elevator could be installed. While this room existed downstairs. its location was unknown to most students and often went unused. So. a period which began as time primarily to study for tests and do homework seemed to have been transformed into a time for more social gathering and coversation.

Four advanced courses permitted students to challenge themselves to a greater degree than they were usually accustomed to. and in some cases. to gain college credits.

Interested history students could enroll in Advanced World Cultures. taught by Dr. Wilkerson. in their sophomore year, and Advanced Placement History, taught

by Mrs. Bressler. in their junior year. World Cultures dealt basically with the study of the culture of different societies and their history, with particular emphasis on China and Africa. The course was highlighted by a trip to Washington, D.C. for one day in the fall. A.P. History involved an in depth look at American history, particularly at the trends and the causes of those trends. and included frequent in-class essays. Although both courses require a tremendous amount of time and effort. the skills and knowledge the most students acquired made the courses invaluable.

Advanced placement English. taught by Mrs. Scholten. and offered to seniors. involved the study of Greek tradgedies. poetry, short stories. drama. and novels t o name a few. This course. which like A.P. History. also required in-class essays. not only allowed students to obtain college credits. but it also gave them the chance to improve their analytical and writing ability. while increasing their knowledge of the English language and its history.

Calculus. the advanced placement math course. was offered at a regular level. A-B. and at an accelerated level.

B-C, to those students who had successfully completed Trigonometry and Analysis. This course basically covered the material that would be required in a freshman Calculus course.

Whether or not the students enrolled in these courses continue on to college, the instructors of these courses hope that their exposure to college level courses has had a beneficial and lasting affect on them.

A blend of grammar, literature, and composition writing basically summarized the course of study for students in English classes. Sophomore English, a year long course, consisted of reading the works; Lord of the Flies. "Julius Caesar" or " Witness for the Prosecution,'' Tale of Two Cities or Alas. Babylon, along with assorted poems. Besides a unit especially on grammar, stress on the fine points of grammar were ever-present in papers related to the readings. For the Junior or Senior there was a choice of Areas One, Two, or Three or for the more skilled Junior, Area Four, and for the more skilled Senior, Advanced Placement English.

Areas One, Two, and Three were half year courses and dealt with literature and writing skills. While Juniors read The Scarlet Letter, " The Crucible" and some poetry, Seniors were exposed to Return of the Native, 1984, and "MacBeth".

Both classes were also required to write term papers to keep them aware of meticulous grammar skills. Journals, a daily writing exercise, was also required of both Juniors and Seniors. According to English teacher Sandra Spanier, "Writing in journals is like keeping in shape for a sport." For students in areas one, Two, and Three the second half of the year featured elective courses where students could chose from Myth and Literature, American Literature, British Literature, Masters of Literature, Mass Media, and Composition. Area Four and A.P. English were rigorous and challenging year long courses requiring lots of "hard work" for the most serious English student. With such a variety of English opportunities, students found it easy to fulfill the three credit English requirement in order to graduate.

Mathematics - an essential part of the phrase, "reading, writing and arithmetic" - was a flight of stairs many students ascended during their high school education. Although only one math credit was required for graduation, most of the math classes were filled with students having one math credit already. The student began his ascent of these stairs by mastering theorems and postulates and other basic concepts of Geometry and Algebra. Then, with this strong foundation, students were able to continue their ascent to Trigonometry and Analysis and in some cases, Calculus. For students interested in other areas of the math field , Computer Math and Probability and Statistics were available. These classes provided a chance for students to pursue career possibilities as well as become familiar with course material they will come in c.ontact with in college.

Music Curriculum allows students to excel

64 â&#x20AC;˘ Music

Diversity was the outstanding characteristic of the music curriculum. A large number of musicians blossomed in their high school years and these students were able to reach their full potential with a large selection of courses, including two levels of music theory, Sophomore band and choir, Orchestra, Concert band, Wind Ensemble, Stage Band, Choraliers, A Cappella, and Marching Band. While Sophomore band and Concert Band and Choraliers were open to all who enjoyed music, Stage Band, Wind Ensemble and A Cappella all required auditions. These auditions included a solo which demonstrated virtuosity, scales to show range, and sight-reading which indicated the level of musical knowledge and application. While most students were initially afraid of the idea of auditioning, the true musical ability of each student came through at the moment of truth.

The highlight of the year was hosting the Regional band. The participants were housed by members of each band and choir for two nights and the third night was climaxed by a concert.

The depth of the Music Department's course-study allowed students to excel to their highest peak and thereby explained the comparatively high numbers of musicians who attended district, regional, state, and even All-Eastern band and chorus functions from .our school.

Languages A wide variety offered Although many students do not realize it, they are given perhaps the best opportunity to pursue a wider range of languages than most of the surrounding five school districts. While State High offers four languages, nearby schools offer as few as two language choices. Those four languages which students have at their disposal are French, Latin, Spanish, and German. The student may take Latin up to four years while he can take the others up to five years.

To experience the cuiture of their ianguage, students may attend Language Day on campus, and they may experience epicurean delicacies of the respective countries.

Even though some students enroll in a language to fulfill a college prerequisite, most students, because of the wide selection of languages, are able to choose a language which most satisfies their needs and interests.

Over twenty-five tires were slashed and seven windshields had been smashed, backing up the on-the-range and on-the-road training.

Mathe01atics Exploring the unknown The programs begin with JOB, FORTRAN, and !COS cards and end with CALL EXIT, END, and XEQ cards. That is easy to learn, but for computer math students the difficulty comes with what lies between those cards. Computer math, taught

by Mr. McCall, is primarily an introductory course into the use of the fortran computer system. It introduces students to the basic skills needed to operate the computer and keypunch and to compute a program. The students are regularly required to develop and compute specific programs, which are designed to test their skills with recently covered material.

This semester course provides students with many headaches when they are unable to get their program to run. However, it also provides them with a chance to explore a subject, which, in most cases, students know very little about, but which has become an intrinsic part of their society.

Students who planned to make their careers in the art field and students who simply enjoyed art could have fulfilled their creative instincts in one of many art programs. Those activities available to students ranged from a study of the fine a rts to painting, drawing, etching, sculpting, weaving, jewelery crafting, and ceramics. The diversity in choices and different skill levels made it possible for a student with any interest in art to take part in an area they enjoyed. For the more serious art student, an opportunity to compete for a Scholastic Art Award or to apply to the prestigious Governor's School for the Arts was available. Because of the many options available to students in the art field, a great er appreciation of art and the arts was the result.

Vo-Tech Trade opportunities for the future As an alternative to the regular full day of study at the high school, many students are the Vocational Technical School at Pleasant Gap to be a worthwhile experience.

While students e nrolled in the Vo-Tech spent one half day in school, they were allowed to not only learn the fundamentals of a trade, but also practice these skills at the Vo-Tech. Some of them, after learning the basics of their trade, moved on to jobs which were related to their field of study outside of schooi. These trades, such as cosmetology, masonry, auto mecha!J,ics, computer programing, dental hygenics, and drafting and design, provided students with a stable background enabling them to continue with their acquired skills in their fields of interest.

Students either disenchanted with the academic program or those anxious to learn a trade were provided with an excellent opportunity by the commendable teaching staff at the Vo-Tech and its excellent facilities.

Vocational Agriculture meant that there was an opportunity for students with an inclination towards agriculture to develop skills in this field. For the Vo-Ag student, a variety of courses were offered: Tractor and equipment repair, welding, carpentry, plumbing and grading and retailing of products.

Since a majority of students were members of the club, Future Farmers of America, one of the many field trips experienced was attending the national FFA Convention for ten days in Kansas City, Missouri. Aside from FFA field trips, there were day long and in-class field trips and the four day trip to the State Farm Show in Harrisburg. In addition to the satisfaction gained from related and fulfilling experiences, and the broad background in the agricultural field was clearly the greatest reward for the Vo-Ag student.

If one were to take a cross section of students of the State College Area School District and place them in a situation where, assuming interest and responsibility for their education was of the essence, one would have a good idea of what the Alternative Program was all about. To these students, caring was essential. The Alternative Program gave them the chance to choose the course of their education. They then followed their choice with what they would like to learn and how they would like to learn it. The many programs varied as broadly as the goals the students had in mind. When stressed. this type of self. motivated learning enabled the student to pursue an education ordinarily unobtainable in the traditional style of the high school. The individualized routes ranged from apprenticeships in career interests to Penn State courses to various types of community service. A significant number of students still took part of their courses at the high school and the rest at the Alternative Program. These were then combined to fulfill the thirteen credit minimum for graduation. Some students worked on satisfying the thirteen credit requirement while others went well beyond the minumum.

Separating the Alternative Program from the conventional high school was the interaction of students with people outside the school. An encouraging portion of these "outsiders" were parents. They acted as part of the Advisory Council and were invited to attend any school meetings. The Advisory Council was composed of staff members, parents, and representative "clump" members.

There were many " clumps" in the school. Within each "clump" were a certain number of students and staff members. Each clump met weekly and discussed feelings on emphasized issues and school business. Between grading periods, there was a week break in which the clumps met, evaluated, and rescheduled. On a much larger scale, existed Community Service Projects. Involvement in Community Projects enabled students to help the community with their best talents while their vast capabilities as young, responsibile adults.

Alterna tive Program â&#x20AC;˘ 75

By volunteering to work with a lawyer, accountant, doctor or teacher. or by improving their skills by practicing theater, dance, music, or sports or by taking courses at Penn State, students hoped to do something worthwhile outside of school during school hours.

Because the student was responsible for planning his activities outside of shcool, only those who exhibited the greatest amount of responsibil ity were chosen for the program. The activities ranged in diversity from studying the habits of terrestrial gastropods (snails), to volunteering at a nearby community service center. However, the most popular activity of students, by far, was taking classes a t the university. Students found they were able to purse topics of interest beyond the level of high school courses. Modified School Day was a program for the student who needed more fle xibility in scheduling and more freedom during the day.

Work Experience Instruction and experience, keys to success For students who felt their needs would be better met by getting on-the-job training at businesses throughout the community, Cooperative Work Experience was offered. Led

by Dr. Cross and Mrs. Infield, students in the program took on jobs, ranging from working in a dental hygienics lab to working in a grocery store and the high school library. When they were not working, the students were in school taking a Work Experience course as well as other required courses for graduation. The Work Experience course dealt with generally related material on the working field as well as information pertaining to each student's field of employment. With the inschool instruction and out-of-school "hands on" experience, students were able to learn the responsibilities and expectations of an employee/employer relationship.

The Business program offered a variety of courses from Notehand to Business Law to provide the student with a knowledgeable background in secretarial work for a job right out of school or to continue his education at a business school.

To also encourage the basic knowledge of academic majors, the Business department offered business related courses, such as English, economics, and business mathematics.

In these courses the student learned the subject material, but also learned how to incorporate it into the office routine. For example, in Business English, teachers placed emphasis on spelling and punctuation and spent class time typing business letters.

Most of the students involved in the program intended to pursue a business related career or enroll in business schools such as South Hill's Business School or college.

The winter physical education program had a new look this year . the addition of fencing to the program. Students took part in the new activity for four weeks and then went into volleyball.

The teachers also stressed the importance of physical fitness through aerobics.

Miss Harper had all of her classes run for ten minutes around the track, and the number of laps run were recorded. From this information, scores were computed and the level of fitness was determined. Physical fitness programs were also explained during rainy days, one of which was the Royal Canadian Air Force physical fitness test. Students were shown how to do exercises and given a chance to try increasingly difficult levels of exercises.

The addition of the fencing program and the extra emphasis on the importance of physical fitness were given a hearty welcome by those who found gym relaxing and a deviation from the day's normal routine.

Industrial Arts Pride in craftsmenship stressed Having students develop a feeling of pride in the projects they made with the creative skills they learned throughout the year was the goal the Industrial Arts Department hoped to accomplish.

The shop facilities were expanded to more readily accommodate the wood and metal shops, and the electronics and mechanical drawing classes. This new addition not only provided the students with extra working space, but it also contained new facilities for lumberwork. A greater emphasis was also placed on mechanics. Many students utilized class time to repair or modify their automobiles.

The emphasis placed on safety in the shop was greater than ever. Those students who failed to comply with the strict safety regulations were denied use of the equipment to complete their projects.

During last March's registration, students found three new courses from which to choose and further confused them as to what courses to schedule for the upcoming academic year. The courses offered for the first time this year were Career Decision Making, Independent Living, and Nutrition.

For the student who was undecided in a field of study after graduation, the Guidance Department adopted this course in order to help students learn about themselves and thereby aid them in their decision when choosing a career. Students also became familiar with stereotypes associated with certain careers and how they may affect their career choice, as well as necessary skills essential for a successful job interview.

Independent Living focused on the basic knowledge one should have if he was to move into an apartment soon after graduation.

The course made students familiar with the legal implications of rental contracts, money management, and apartment maintenance.

Influencing factors in food selection, how nutrients work in the body, weight control and diet related diseases were all dealt with in the new Nutrition course.

Through these courses, students were able to learn more about themselves and by doing so, make their life a little easier to understand.

Throughout a student's life, he had many responsibilities. One of these responsibilities was his work. Each developing step led him to positions of greater ability and concurrently to more advanced levels of work. However, as a child, he had no real responsibilities at home, but he helped his parents because of the recognition he received. Growing older meant having the capability to do more things; therefore, he was expected to do more. The student began school, and so another form of toil filled his life. Upon entering high school, he began thinking about his life's work after graduation. Whether he would go to college or pursue a career after high school, his goals were in sight, and he worked toward achieving them. However, after the student reached this point, he had already achieved his goal in high school, higher sights were then set and reached for. The cycle of working toward higher goals to obtain greater personal satisfaction made life worthwhile.

88 â&#x20AC;˘ Academic Performance

Acade01ic perfor01ance d-e clines A great majority of juniors and seniors had tne memorable experience of taking the "S.A.T.'s". The Scholastic Aptitude Test, or college boards, was one of the bases colleges and universities across the country utilized when determining acceptance and admission of college freshman. According to studies of scores from the past few years, the averages this year showed a slight decline in S.A.T. scores. Teachers also noticed they had to lower their grading standards in order that more students pass. But did the situation reach critical levels? The guidance counselors believe the drop was only very slight in our school and, therefore, not very significant.

As for the lowered grading standards, teachers accounted this to students' poor time management, putting greater emphasis on their activities outside of school and not concentrating enough on their studies.

A message from the president As we the class of 1980 move forward into a new decade through a maturing process, we begin to see the value of our three years here at State High. Our school life has been many - faceted. We have learned from books, teachers, coaches, advisors and, most of all, from each other.

We came from different walks of life, learned to accept each others differences, and became one.

Struggling as sophomores to establish an identity in this large high school, gaining confidence as juniors, and finally, as seniors realizing we've made it! Now as we've reached the end of our stay as the Class of 1980, we don't look back to endings but cherish our memories and look forward to new beginnings.

This past summer, Suzanne Harbolis extended her political involvment by being elected Treasurer of Pennsylvania Teenage Republicans. This nation - wide organization, sponsored by the Repbulican party conducted many conventions during the school year, where prominent 'Repbulicans were frequent guest speakers. " The main objective of this organization," Suzanne said, "it to give politically oriented people a chance to decide whether or not the Republican party is for them." The group supported Repblican candidates from the local level to the Presidential level. Suzanne's duties as treasurer involved accounting for the group-s finances and the development of fund raising plans. Through her participation in Teenage Republicans and several other political groups, Suzanne was able to pursue he, tremendous ;nte,est ;n pol;tks.

Patience and hard work make beautiful jewelry In the two years since she signed up for her first jewelry class, Heidi Ruffner has become a talented jeweler: she even had one of her pieces entered in statewide competition.

Heidi spent 25 to 30 hours working on jewelry per week, and her pieces took anywhere from three to twenty hours to complete. She explained, "I have a lot of patience; I'm willing to try something again and again."

Even though Heidi is somewhat uncertain about her career, she is sure she will continue to create jewelry.

Dancing is her dream Ask junior Leigh Melander how she spent her free time & she probably would have replied. "Sleeping!" Leigh's many activities, which included Thespians. A Cappella. voice lessons and dancing every day. kept her busier than the average high school student.

The highlight of her dance career was five weeks of intensive dance instruction this past summer at the Penn. Governor's School, where she danced six to seven hours per day. According to Leigh, the program was a "fantastic experience."

Leigh's future plans included a career in dance or dance theater. in which she hoped to win a college scholarship.

State College: A nice place to visit Ann Matsushima finished school early last year only to begin again in another area. For two months last year she at¡ tended Nishi High School in Hokodata, Japan. " The schools in Japan," Ann said, " are very different from the schools here." The students were required to wear uniforms and didn't have any homework. Ann especially liked the the chance to experience something different. She did not enjoy leaving the many friends she had made there. " But," Ann said, "I may get a chance to go back again next year." That is something Ann would truly enjoy.

A year of travel Ann Pitts, a sophomore, spent her freshman year living in Lausanne, Switzerland, and attended a French - speaking school. Just across the lake from Lausanne are France and the Alps, where she spent her weekends from December to May skiing. The scenery was spectacular; "You can't imagine the mountains."

While in Europe, Ann also traveled to Italy, France, England, Germany, Austria, and Holland. Because clothes were so expensive in Switzerland, Levi's costing as much as $50.00, Ann chose to spend her money on skiing and souvenirs.

Ann said that her experience opened her eyes to life outside the United States.

She'd like to return to Europe and visit Norway, Sweden, and Denmark. She summed up her whole year in Switzerland by saying, "! had a blast!"

"A little dirt in your teeth . . " Although Chris Zanot had been racing bikes for only about two years, he was definitely not an amateur in this sport. Last summer he placed an incredible nine times in only eleven races he entered. He had also won second place in State competition at Courtdale. Pennsylvania.

The team he raced for (John's Derailleurs) traveled to various states along the East Coast for races. Chris, enjoying this sport, claimed, " If you like good exercise, but can take a little bit of dirt in your teeth, Bicycle Motorcross is for you."

See how she runs Lynne Strauss is known to many Happy Valley residents for her running skills.

State College was proud to claim her when she finished second in state competition in the 5,000 meter (3.1 mile) run.

An even greater accomplishment came in December during nationa,l competition when she placed fourth out of thirty-five high school entrants.

Lynne began running at the suggestion of Mr. Gentry, originally disliking the sport. She said of her coaches, Mr. Gentry and Mr. Gittings. "the best coaches you can get."

Lynne's immediate goal is to win the state championship: she has two more years to achieve this. The Olympics are her more distant goal.

World for dogs This year, sophomore Carolyn Bruce became familiar with dog training and breeding. At their home on Smithfield Street, the Bruces raised two Shetland Sheepdog puppies.

Shetland Sheepdogs, or "Shelties," are originally from the Scottish Shetland Isles. At maturity, they come to a height of a mere thirteen inches at their shoulders, no higher than a man's knee. Already Carolyn has taught the dogs some basic obedience and looked forward to enrolling them in obedience courses as well as breeding puppies.

According to Carolyn, the dogs are tempermental, "Patience is important while the dogs are young; otherwise, they may turn mean."

Bluegrass by Baileyville boys The Baileyville Bluegrass Boys have not yet had any songs in the top twenty, but their friendly faces have become fa. miliar to many Happy Valley residents.

There were five musicians in the band, two of which attended tenth grade last year . Jim Harpster managed the bass, while his brother Joe sang low harmony and and played the mandolin. The three other bluegrass instruments included a banjo, played by Paul Carothers; a fiddle , hand - made by Jeff Bracken; and a guitar, played by Barry Bracken.

These musicians did not earn their fine reputation easily. At least four times a week they were hard at work practicing their songs. Although the band had been together for no more than a year, they had already performed in Pittsburgh, Curt in Mansion, and numerous private parties.

Jim and Joe both claimed that even though it was hard at times, their sole purpose for playing was for fun.

Administration prepares evaluation

School Board Bottom Row: Carolyn Stebbins. Robert Dunham. Duane Doty. Loretta Jeffreys. Top Row: Richard Bunnell. Fred Hoffman. Kay Rossi. Nancy Daniels. George McMurtry.

Every ten years high schools are asked to prepare an evaluation of themselves by answering questions pertaining to the staff, administration, and the school itself. Last year State College Area High School began the process of evaluation.

Dr. Bingaman received a book which contained a means to evaluate the school. Teachers were asked specific questions and the administration rated the school on that basis from a 15, 5 being the best.

This year November 7,8,9, a Visiting Committee of twenty-seven teachers and administrators from around the state came to the high school.

They read the evaluation of the school, observed classes, and agreed or disagreed with the report.

The committee praised the manner in which the staff worked with students, the condition of the school, and the spirit of the students. However, they commented that the Annex system was not conducive to an efficient teaching process. Dr. Bingaman said the overall reaction of the committee was favorable.

John Casey, Dr. Bingaman, and John Fricker take a short break from hectic schedules for a good hearty laugh.

Mrs. Julie Gittings, a tenth grade English teacher, found "Happy Valley" the perfect place to reside. Coming to Penn State from an urban Pittsburgh neighborhood, she fell in love with the area and vowed never to leave. Mrs. Gittings thought "Happy Valley" was unique because it offered not only the comforts of rural life. but also a fantastic library for research. Besides grading papers, riding her horse, writing poetry, cross - country skiing, and working on her Master's Degree, she also devoted some of her time as an assistant girl's track coach. She attended countless seminars and meets and really enjoyed working with the long, high, and triple jumpers. Mrs. Gittings has taught for several years in this school district and intends to stay. She said, "I could not be happier anywhere else."

Dr. Wilkerson tours Europe Once again this year, Dr. Roland Wilkerson, a tenth grade history teacher, returned to school with an array of summer experiences behind him and a full load of extracurricular school activities ahead of him. The well known lover of travel took it relatively easy last summer, undertaking only a trip to Canada on his motorcycle. The rest of his summer was divided among two to three hours of tennis a day, hiking, and unwinding with a book.

This year, he was again the advisor of the International Relations Club (!RC).

The highlight of that organization was a three day convention in Washington, D. C.,in December. Also, for the fifth year, Dr. Wilkerson will be accompanying a group of twenty-three high school students on a five week tour of Europe with stops in such places as London, Paris, and Rome.

With an up and down season which saw the State High gridders never winning or losing more than twice in a row, the Little Lions emerged with a winning record of 6-5. Before the season, some doubt was raised about the team's future when quarterback Mark Snowdon was struck down by a knee injury.

Most valuable player, fullback Jim Scannell, ripped through the opponent's defense to direct State to a 41-6 triumph over Bellefonte in the opener and a 2316 win against Punxsutawney the following week.

However, after the two quick wins, the Lions met a 35-0 loss against Cedar Cliff.

Following the conquest of Lock Haven, State was humiliated by Altoona and Hollidaysburg. Mt. Carmel came to town after State's two wins over Lewistown and DuBois, and once again the visitors prevailed, 2214. The next week, a strong Indiana squad trimmed the Little Lions, 20-14. Needing a win against a fine Williamsport team to salvage a winning season, State capitalized on a blocked punt by Todd Kisslak to nip the Millionaires, 18-11.

Against what was perhaps the roughest schedule in their history, a young State High team made some costly mistakes during the season, yet it pulled through with a winning record to preserve Happy Valley's fine reputation in football. · Scott Atkinson

TeaDl goes undefeated With a 12-0 record, the Tennis Team ends its season by sending four to States

Once again, the girls' tennis team accomplished the unsurpassable by completing their season undefeated with a 12-0 record. Contributing to this success was the coaching of Anne Fry and assistant Karen Magnuson and the playing of seniors Cari MacElwee and Charito Paragas, junior Bessie Paragas, and sophomores Amy Hulina, Laura Ignazio, and Janet Whiteside.

The team boasted not only of a strong and dedicated varsity squad, but also of an unusually large and hardworking second squad which complimented the top six players to give the team great depth.

The District VI tennis championships were dominated

by State High's girls. In singles, Bessie and Charito Paragas were first and second, respectively. The doubles action saw State's team of Cari MacElwee and Janet Whiteside emerge the victors. Although Bessie, Charito, and Cari and Janet were eliminated from the state competition without placing, their participation in this level of competition confirms that these girls reached a standard of athletic skill that most high school students only dream of attaining.

Booters surprise fans Surpassing preseason expectations~ the team advances to States

The State High soccer team exceeded the fans', the players', and especially the coaches' expectations by advancing to the PIAA state tournament. The Little Lions capped their successful 15-5 season by capturing a respectable fourth place finish in the state.

Although the season began on the wrong foot as the Little Lions dropped a 3-1 decision to Middleburg, the Booters soon developed the winning composure necessary to upset archrival West Snyder (3-1) and to win seven consecutive victories. This winning streak was temporarily halted when Middleburg and West Snyder both conquered the Little Lions in back - to - back setbacks.

However, State retaliated with another winning streak as the team booted its way to the District Six title.

At state playoffs the Lions stormed back from a 2-0 deficit to shock Springdale in a 53 victory. The following weekend, State did it again when the Booters upset Shaler by a 3-1 score. State eventually settled for fourth place as defending 1978 champion Fleetwood decisioned the Lions in the consolation· round.

Senior co - captains Brian Gearhart and Dave Hall must be recognized for the excellent leadership they provided. Above all, the coaching staff of Ken Fogleman and Floyd Trunzo are to be commended for a superior job of shaping the soccer team.

Runners maintain winning streak The Cross Country squad extends its national record into the fourteenth year

In the rolling hills, mountains, and open fields of Happy Valley, the cross country team sweated through mile after mile.

A record number of boys ran over one thousand miles during the summer to prepare for the season. This, and the direction of their coach Mr. Horner, and assistant coach, Hugh Hamill, led the team to a productive and successful season.

This year was the fourteenth year that State College has been undefeated in dual meets. Over these fourteen years State has earned a national record by winning more than 144 consecutive dual meets. The team also placed first or second in all of their invitational meets.

At the State Championship, runners Dan Draper, who placed third, Bob Hudson, who placed ninth, along with Steve Detuerk, Alex Almeida, Mike Doll, Steve Phillips, and Mark Schmidt combined their talent to make State the second place finisher. Nick Kello was also to have run in the state competition, but because of an injury, was unable to participate.

The team's captain, Dan Draper, greatly contributed to the success and closeness of the team.

The J.V. squad competed well at all of the dual meets.

Cross Countryâ&#x20AC;˘ 189

If any State College runners have verified the message of the T-shirt that boasts that Happy Valley is the "Running Capital of the East," the girls on State High's cross country team have done it. Their season's victories included not only five invitational meet titles and the State Championship title, but also the St. John's Invitational title, earned at a prestigious event deemed as an east ern national championship.

Number one runner, sophomore Lynne Strauss, led the way for her teammates in the races; but second runner. junior Kim Long, and the rest of the team were never far behind. In fact, senior captain Cindy Sterling, junior Lisa Chagnon, and sophomores Tracy Spalvins and Kathy Frantz followed closely enough at Conrad Weiser and Steel City Invitationals to make the races spectacularly dominated by State High. At Conrad Weiser, Lynne out-ran the reigning AAA cross country champ to win the race; and Kim, Lisa, Cindy, and Tracy captured four of the remaining top ten places. Even more impressive was the Steel City Invitat ional where State's six runners bewildered all opponents. including 1978's state champion team, Council Rock, by finishing 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, and 9th. To fully assess its talent, the team traveled to Van Courtlandt Park, New York, for the St. John's Invitational, where State 's five scorers finished in the top eleven to earn a record low of 29 points. At the state championship the team added two more awesome statistics to their record. By placing 2nd, 4th, 6th, and 12th, respectively, Lynne Strauss, Kim Long, Tracy Spalvins, and Cindy Sterling made State College the first team to have four members earn All-State honors. Lisa Chagnon's 22nd place finish completed the team's score at 46 points. an all-time low in PIAA history Beyond the first six runners. the cross country team was equally impressive. Sharon Markham ran with the varsity squad at Van Courtlandt Park and the state meet, but Meredith White, Debbie Daum, Tina Gardiner, and Naomi Ottenstein also saw their share of varsity action. The J.V. squad was skilled enough to defeat Altoona's varsity twice and top Chief Logan's varsity team, which eventually became the 4th place team in the State Championship.

Steve Gentry's coaching undoubtedly accounted for much of the team's success. The dedication he inspired coupled with Cindy Sterling' s captaining to help create a unified team of athletes. Volunteer assistant Gary Giddings, manager Scott Atkinson, and devoted fans encouraged the team at practices and meets, to witness the making of an All-American team.

Surrounded by a state full of fine boys' golf teams, coach John Mutzeck's squad was able to find challenging competition in two tournaments and in a triangular exhibition meet in its fall season. At the Spring Grove Invitational Tournament, as well as at the Wheeling Invitational Schoolboys' Tournament, junior Derek Grill emerged with the best score for State High, helping to account for the team's respectable placing in these events. The Williamsport Loyalsock Triangular Meet saw the State High team lose to Williamsport's golfers and triumph over Loyalsock's. The spring schedule was to be influenced by the Central Pennsylvania Golf Association of which the boys' team was a league member. The principal opposition would be teams from Bellefonte, Altoona, Hollidaysburg, and Tyrone.

For their ages and limited experience, the members of the team performed admirably. Juniors Derek Grill and John Mlynarski and sophomore Mike Kauffman qualified to play in District VI Sectionals. Because they were among the seven best players in the competition, the three golfers survived the Sectionals and advanced to Districts. Derek qualified for States, where he placed 38th. Senior Jim Boyle, who was predicted to be a strong player for the spring season, junior Marc Shapiro, and sophomore John Szklinski were also among the State High golfers.

Because Happy Valley and surrounding areas were lacking in girls' golf competition opportunities, the ladies' fall schedule was brief. The team's single invitational meet at Williamsport in September became almost strictly one of individual play for State High's girls when just a handful of opponents participated. The only other fall event in which all of coach Bob Sutherland's team competed was the District VI Sectional Meet, which served as a qualifie r for Districts. Scheduled for the spring season were a home invitational meet, an invitational meet in Cameron County and an assortment of tournaments.

By placing in the top seven at the District VI Sectionals in September, senior Whitney Brown qualified for Districts and eventually for States, where she failed to place. Other girls on Coach Sutherland's team were senior Ann Hubbard, juniors Kris Glass and Barbara Pfischner, and sophomores Lisa Naspinsky, Chris Pifer, and Tina Zamrik.

As the 1979-80 winter sports season got underway in Happy Valley, the State High Basketball team jumped out to a quick start. dominating their opponents with their smooth teamwork and aggressive offense. Spurred on by their early season wins over Hollidaysburg, Penns Valley, Clearfield, Lock Haven and Jersey Shore, the cagers aimed for successful performances in post-season competition.

Led by senior captains Paul Hart and Dave Weakland. the Little Lions demonstrated from the start potential for developing into a winning team.

Playing a tough man-to-man defense and running a quick fastbreak, the team utilized the talents of all its twelve players on the court. In addition to the captains, the players consisted of seniors Mark Bernlohr, Dale Driscoll. Eric Dodds, and Mike Sullivan: and juniors Chris Faris, Kevin Folk, Steve Hricko, leading scorer Mike Miller. John Mlynarski, and Howie Witham.

The Lions were guided by fourth year head coach Joe Slenker and new assistant and J. V. coach Terry Curley. Coach Slenker drilled his squad through rigorous preseason work-outs in order to prepare them. for the long, competitive season. So the team would gain additional experience before entering district and state competition. the coach added the Reading Christmas tournament and Eric Cathedral Prep. to the schedule.

Under Coach Curley's direction, the J.V. squad began the season with several disappointing losses, but eventually displayed their talent as the season progressed, scoring their first victory in a game against Jersey Shore. ¡ Howie Witham

Basketball Team disregards skeptics Ignoring all predictions, the squad emerges better than expected For the State High girls' basketball team, the 197980 season was intended to be one of rebuilding and of teaching the fundamentals of the game. This was naturally expected, as there was only one returning player from the previous year's championship team.

Yet the squad disproved all preseason predictions and performed surprisingly well in their Tri-Valley league competition.

The team opened their season with disappointing losses to Altoona and Indiana, but redeemed themselves with a third place finish in the Bradford lnvita· tional Tournament. In their opening league game, the squad lost to a strong West Snyder team. Two days later, however, they vented their frustrations on Chief Logan, winning their first game of the season.

Cheered on by their fans of Happy Valley, they defeated both Middleburg and Lewistown, and the following week they extended the winning streak by securing sound victories over Kishacoquillas and Newport.

Senior Laura Moir, junior Dee Marrara, and sophomore Joyce Rathfon emerged as the team leaders.

Other valuable players included seniors Deb Rhodes, Elaine Gebhardt, and Mary Langton; sophomore Nancy Pletcher; and freshmen Lori Cardellino, Julie Lechner, and Carolyn Withstandley.

First year coach Jackie Hullah was to be credited for shaping the young inexperienced players into such a successful team. Throughout the season she emphasized the importance of teamwork and of play· ing with intensity.

The junior varsity squad learned the fundamentals of high school basketball under the direction of coaches Sue Kauffman and Nancy Filey. · Dee Marrara

Indoor tracksters train¡ for spring This year's Indoor Track and Field season was far from ordinary. A very mild winter, injuries among the top runners, and the addition of a natilus program for some members, changed many of the indoor track traditions. Although attendance was down form last year, there was still a great deal of talent and enthusiasm within the team.

Warmer weather conditions enabled both track and field people to use outdoor facilities much longe r than ususal. Head coach Mr. Horner and assistant coach Mr. Hamill took advantage of this by allowing workouts normally scheduled at Rec Hall to be held on the school track.

Even though injury plagued the team. the morale and performance of previous years was not altered. Younger team members were able to gain the valuable experience of competing in large outdoor meets held in New York. Daily practices that encouraged members to learn to work with one. another, along with the strength, endurance, and self confidence build during practice sessions proved meaningful because many of the athletes also participated in spring track.

Wrestlers excel in coIDpetition Due to intense training , the State High grapplers compete successfully Wrestling, a sport demanding tremendous self-discipline, is characterized by exhausting conditioning, endless drilling of technique, and exercises improving strength and quickness. The wrestlers of the 1979-80 Little Lion squad, under the guidance of head coach Mr. Rockey and assistant coach Mr. Bolash, willingly met all the demands of their sport and in turn were able to have a rewarding, memorable season.

The State College varsity line - up began with sophomore Tony Marrara at 98 pounds. At 105 junior Tim Shaw grappled for State High, and sophomore Dave Webb followed at 112. Next, junior standout Guy Amato and senior co-captain Dan Frey took to the mat in the 119 and 126 - pound classes. Proceedng them at the 132 and 138 - pound classes were sophomore Ken Hall and junior Rick Kleban. Junior Tom Houck represented the squad at the 145 - pound class, while senior co-captain Mark Decker performed extremely well at 155. Juniors Eric Brugel (167 pounds) and Eric Fairbanks (185 pounds) and sophomore heavyweight Tim Scannell completed the roster of talented varsity wrestlers.

Utilizing the strength and skill they gained in preseason practices, the squad was able to score victories over its first three competitors; Lock Haven, Indiana, and Bald Eagle. After an unsuccessful performance at a tournament at Cedar Cliff, the grapplers reconvinced their fans of their talent by defeating both DuBois and Chief Logan.

Assistant coach Bolash was instrumental in shaping the j.v. squad, preparing its members Shawn Fry, Rick Letterman, and Scott Gnatt for occassional varsity action.

Team trains with intensity With an extended schedule, the spikers are forced to increase training

Coached by Miss Harper, the State High volleyball team bumped , set, and spiked their way through their lengthy season. With a squad of carefully chosen players and the addition of many games to their former schedule, it was apparent that girl's scholastic volleyball was progressing rapidly at State High.

The team relied upon their preseason conditioning to help the m through their long, competitive season. This conditioning consisted of weight-lifting. running. calisthenics, and, of course, practice of volleyball skills through drills and scrimmages. These difficult practices were made even more challenging by the odd times at which they were scheduled. ranging from 6:30 in the morning to well into the e vening.

Their long season, which ope ned with a match in late January against defending district champ Huntingdon, did not culminate until fiftee n more matches and one tournament had been played. Playing in these games for the varsity squad were returning players Betsy Porter, Eileen Kavanaugh , and Whitney Brown, who were joined by new varsity members Kelly Pitts, Cathy Stinson, Donna Puchalla, Roz Millman, Betsy Bathgate. Kerry Gold, Mona Livingston, Ellen Doty, and Jody Moyer.

The junior varisty squad. coached by Mr. Collison, was led by juniors Margie Rung, Terri Shuster, and Colleen Ottoson.

Before the sun rose in the winter sky. the swimmers of the State High girls' and boys' swim teams were already doing endless laps in the pools of the Penn State Natatorium. These early morning workouts, in addition to afternoon weight-training sessions, amply prepared the swimmers for their season.

The swim teams, guided by coach Pete Moyer, boasted many outstanding individuals. This year's boys' team was led by seniors Mike Frandsen, Joe Kabel, Chip Vicary, Dan Rogers, Scott Wakeley, and Sophomore standout Randy Deihl. The girls' leadership came from the senior trio of Maggie Kinser, Ann Laughlin, Scotti Spalvins, and lone junior Kathy Tiffany.

The strength of the teams was found in their depth. Coach Moyer relied upon juniors Steve Shartel and Rob Madore. sophomores Brant Stoedelfalke. Chris Pilione, and Scott Vicary. along with freshmen Doug Kabel and Scott Delallo to round off the team's scores. Mr. Moyer's girls' team was dominated by underclassmen.

Sophomores Cori Fagan, Carol Slagle. Mindy Madore. along with freshmen Anda Spalvins. Katie Stoedefalke. Becky Fleming. Mary Frandsen. and Erin McGinty all proved to be invaluable in providing depth for the team.

In an opening season meet against Indiana. both teams dominated the competition in almost every event, easily emerging the victors of the meet. The toughest tests for the swimmers during the season proved to be Altoona. Clearfield, and a new addition to the lineup, Mercersburg Academy.

The Little Lady Lion gymnasts, by combining daring acrobatic manuveurs with the beauty and grace of dance, performed imaginative routines for their spectators. Guiding the gymnasts in forming their routines and providing inspiration for new ideas were Coaches Lynn Cantwell and Joliene Wetheral.

Freshman Karen Thomas was the team's all-around gymnast and made an excellent showing her first year in competition. Also providing consistent performances for the squad were seniors Maureen Flanegin on the beam, floor, and vault; Jody Arndt on the uneven parallel bars; co-captain Laurel Snetsinger on the beam anf floor; Carol McGahen on floor, vault, and beam; Kim Henshaw on the vault; and Patty Cardellino on floor.

Also contributing their talents were junior co-captain Sue Goode who performed in the vault and bar events, and sophomore Sarah Murray, who concentrated on the floor exercise. In addition, sophomores Mary Paterno, Pam McHugh, Ellen Foulkrod, and Sharon Markham proved to be specialists in their events.

Although the girls were dominated by their early-season competitors, they combined their many talents to capture their first victory in a mid-January meet against Clearfield, Karen Thomas' first place and Kim Henshaw' s third place in all-around competition proved to be the key to this victory.

Driven by this spirit, they traveled far and wide to face the competition present at prestigious national meets.

The squad and their coaches, Mr. Horner and Mr. Baumbach, traveled to such famous invitationals as Penn Relays, Mansfield Relays, and the Relays at William and Mary. Of course they also participated in a series of dual meets which were on a much lower key.

The team entered these meets with a great deal of depth in many events. The middle and long distance running contingent, which boasted many sub - 2:10 half-milers and sub - 4:55 milers, consisted of tracksters Randy Moore, Steve Phillips, Tom Shirk, Bruce Heilman, Alex Almeida, Jim Leslie, and Paul Brode.

Outstanding runners Dan Draper, Bob Hudson, and Nick Kello, at first forced out of competition because of injuries, later joined these runners.

The sprinting and field events also proved to be up to State High's high standards. Greg Coppola, Mike Myers, Kyle Goss, and Jim Kjelgaard were all great assets to the field division, while sprinters Chris Falk and Andy Barnes also played a key role in the success of the team.

With a winter of training behind them and a season of challenging competition ahead of them, the girls' track and field team anticipated a productive, rewarding season.

The team began practicing in late February, motivated to work hard in order to compete well in high quality meets, such as Pitt Invitational, Penn Relays, Dickinson Invitational, districts, and States. In addition to these invitationals intended for the more experienced athletes, eight meets were scheduled in which all of the tracksters could participate.

The team depended on the leadership and experience of the following seniors: Kelley Jo Homan and Tina Burman in the throwing events coached

by Mr. White; Judy Wall, Laurie Upshaw, and Nina Simm in the jumping events under the coaching of Mrs. Giddings; and runners Cindy Sterling, Kathy Hettmansperger, and Hope Shaw under the direction of head coach Mr. Gentry. In addition, the performances of many underclassmen proved to be vital elements in the successful scoring of the team. Such underclassmen included distance runne rs Lynne Strauss, Kim Long, and Tracy Spalvins; sprinters Lisa Dignazio and Meredith White; and versatile jumper Johanna Humphreys, along with tracksters Tina Gardiner, Kathy Frantz, Naomi Ottenstein, Roz Pierce, and Eileen Yarashus.

When the first signs of spring appeared, the basebell team zealously began their preseason training. Driven by a strong desire to emulate the '79 squad by capturing the PIAA state championship, the team members put forth all of their energies in practices and league competition to prepare themselves for states.

The squad began their preseason on February 1, training at odd hours in the school gym to improve their pitching, hitting, and fielding skills. After their February practices culminated with a three-day workshop on baseball techniques, they then accelerated their training with intense after-school work-outs throughout March.

Forming the nucleus of the team were pitchers Bob Zonts, and players Dave Weakland, Mark Bernlohr, C.J. Sichler, and Doug Fasick.

Expertly coached by Mr. Barto, these players and their teammates performed well throughout the entire season, steadily improving after each of their games and demonstrating fine sportsmanship at all times.

Optional preseason practices started in the fall. lasting through the winter until mandatory practices began in early March. Practices consisted of endurance and speed training, and weight lifting, along with numerous drills leading to improvement of basic softball skills.

''Silkline proved to be a step in time into the future.''

Donna Toto The band front. which consisted of sixteen silks, performed many breathtaking routines.

After suffering many differences of opinion over routines by themselves, the silks acquired an advisor, Kay Waine, who helped them through the remainder of the season. The head silks this year were Terri Barnes and Brenda Welfley. The silks were featured in many songs, such as "Don't Cry Out Loud" and "What I Did For Love."

This year the majorette squad consisted of fourteen girls. The girls performed for the football games and at a few competitions. Over the summer the girls went to a majorette camp to learn new routines and to perfect their twirling ability. At the camp the squad received the "Best High School" award. After camp they started practicing every weekday morning in August to p repare for the football season. ¡ Janet Burke

The president of the choir was Tim Davis. TO· gether Tim and Mr. Langton tried to p ick music that was suitable for the choir to perform. In general, holiday spirited songs were sung for the winter concert, and more popular songs were sung for the spring concert. The choir met two times a week to pre pare for the concerts.

Pawprint tells it as it is.''

Rob Naugle This year's Pawprint, with Dorothy Mathews as editor- in-chief, fulfilled its major tasks. The Pawprint started off rather slowly, but by the close of the year was very efficient in putting out the newspaper. The new advisers this year were Mrs. Ponezak and Miss Hess.

In November, Paula Kastner and Abbye Roberts went to Lancaster for the annual PSP A convention. New and exciting ways of improving the newspaper were discovered, including ads, advertising, feature articles and typography. The convention as a whole was very helpful.

With everyone working together, the newspaper worked out to be a rewarding experience for the entire Pawprint staff.

Paging Youth consisted of students interested in the field of journalism. Writing for the Centre Daily Times, Paging Youth section gave students a chance to inform the community of school events, yet gave them a chance to earn money and have fun. This year's student editor was Jeff Stormer. He was assisted by Mrs. Gentry, the club adviser. Paging Youth was a very rewarding experience in the journalistic field, which is different from creative writing.

'' Although yearbook had a slow start, the year was a great learning experience.''

This year's 1980 Little Lion was the result of many long and often traumatic hours put forth by each individual on the yearbook staff.

Each of the section editors did a commendable job, though some problems arose early in the year. Most of these difficulties were resolved by January in a total effort put forth by each staff member. The staff met in August to discuss the theme, layout. and type of yearbook to design.

Meetings were held two to three times a month to unite each section. and to answer and discuss individual problems that arose with each. The dedication of Mrs. York. the yearbook adviser, contributed immeasureably to the success of the book. Without her knowledge and constant dedication, there would have been a yearbook of lesser quality.

The Senior Senate of the State College Area High School began the 1979-80 school year with great enthusiasm which was demonstrated by the first candy sale in which we sold fifteen cases of York pepperment patties and Reeses peanut butter cups. This event was followed by a magic show, which much to our dismay. was not very successful. In December. Senior Senate helped wrap presents for the " Toys for Tots" drive at the Elks. Later in the spring, the Senior Senate had a mug sale. hoagie sale. and the annual Dance Marathon. The success of this year's Senior Senate has been attributed to the thorough organization of the officers who were Mary Lee Snyder, President: Marie Martini, Vice President; Cindy Coulter.

President; Bruce Hielman, Vice President; Chris Pilione, Treasurer; and Scott Vicary, Secretary. The four ran together as a group called the Cosmic Utopian Party. Along with their fellow classmates, the class officers organized doughnut sales and candy sales. The money earned from these sales was placed in the sophomore class fund. This fund held all the- money which was to be used for the Junior Prom and Senior Dinner Dance.
