Charles Laulis takes advantage of the beautiful weather by bringing his sculpture project outside to sand. It is always nice to take some time and get out of the classroom whenever the weather allows.
Do you know what time it is? This is a question frequently asked in the halls of SHS. Both students and faculty want to make sure to always be on time, or else they might just want to know how much longer they have to wait for the bell to ring.

Cathy Tinney isjust one of the many dedicated people working in our cafeteria at SHS. This year- our delicious food is being provided by a new company. This allows students to have a wider variety of choices at lunchtime. The new menu includes a snack and salad bar. Gina Thompson and Maria Cipolloni show the crowd their spirit fingers. Along with the rest of the cheerleading squad, these girls are present at every home and away game to cheer on the football players as well as increase the enthusiasm of the Cougar fans. The girls have to practice hard to perfect many stunts and cheers. Mr. Fischetti, an Administrative Technology teacher, often finds himself fixing computer problems throughout the day. Though computers are extremely helpful to SHS students and faculty, they also present many frustrating problems when they are not working properly. Luckily, people like Mr. Fischetti are available to work through these problems.

me Of all the trends seen around the halls of StIS this year, not many were new. Most of the clothing styles seen today are styles that have returned from earlier decades. Many girls started the year off sporting capri pants and three quarter~ length sleeves. Fleece vests were also popular among many students, both boys and girls. The music industry was
flooded with many artists ran~ ing in style from Santana to Fat Boy Slim. In the news, the hype about the new millenni~ urn and Y2K grew larger than ever. Basically, this year more than ever, the students of StIS were taking time to express their individuality through fashion, music, and art. These expressions are all "Signs of the Time".
Over the years, music has changed to fit the demands of the people. From early classical to contemporary rap, music has evolved along with the times. Our generation has seen many great artists come and go. As a result the students of SHS have a variety of tastes when it comes to the music they like. Julie Waddington takes a minute to write in her Premiere Agenda Planner. The school provided students with the planners this year to help keep organized. Many students can be seen carrying their planners with them as they walk through the halls in their warm fleece vests.

Some of the most important friendships in high school are made in the G.I.S. room. This is where students in the G.I.S. program can come to work on their projects, do homework, orjust relax with other friends in the program. Kim Levengood and Jack Newnam are a good example of a friendship that began in the G.I.S. room.
Are these seniors violating the new no-school bag policy? Of course not, Ajay Patel and Geoff DeLizzio know that they are not allowed to carry school bags throughout the halls. They are on the way to their lockers to put them away.
early Rickards, Shanna Tracey, and Gina Thompson are all student aides for Mrs. Barber. Many students choose to be student aides for teachers instead of taking a study hall. This way they earn credit while they are helping one of their favorite teachers at the same time. Tina Zischkau, Typhanie Zhuge, and Jason Wallin compare their homework loads. These AP French students use this new book to keep track of their many assignments in all of their difficult courses. Jason is shocked to see how much Typhanie has to do for homework. Teadra Sudler laughs at the joke that her friend just told her on the phone. Teadra took time during her study hall to call her friend who was absent from school.
When reflecting on the year, many of our new experiences at SI1S come to mind. The 19992000 school year began under the new direction of Dr. Bridget Kelly, principal and Mr. Frank McKnight, assistant principal. They along with Mr. Thomas Grubb, assistant principal, implemented many new policies and enforced old ones more strictly. The no-school bag policy was continued this year and many students who chose to carry a school bag were forced to suffer consequences. The dress code was also more strictly en-
forced and the Student Council took action to redefine the policy so that everyone was clear on what was appropriate to wear to school. Some other new faces included many faculty members as well as students. Other memaries include sporting events, formals, and class trips. When we look back on this year we will appreciate some reminders of these new experiences as well as our other memories. This figurative time capsule will serve as a red ribbon on our finger to remind us all of our "Memories Trapped in Time".

For students at Springfield tligh School, the term "Preparing for the Future" can mean many different things. To some it means studying until all hours of the night and to others it means learning the skills necessary to accomplish their career goals. Many students who fall into this second category take advantage of a great opportu-
nity to learn these skills by attending Delaware County's Vo-Technical School. This school has two campuses, one located in Folcroft and the other located in Aston. We have many students attending both of these campuses. For some of these students, VoTech is a half day program and they attend StlS for their other academic subjects. For oth-
ers Vo-Tech is a full day program where they prepare for their future careers as well as study academic subjects. VoTech offers a wide variety of programs ranging from Administrative Assistant to Engineering Technology. By taking anyone of these impressive programs, the Vo-Tech students are "Preparing for the Future."
Josh Stumm prepares to fry an egg for his Culinary Arts project. This course is designed to introduce students to the food service industry.

Brothers Chris and Greg Avato share a common bond with brothers T.J. and Dan Colaiezzi. All four are Cougar lacrosse players. This comradery on the field has turned into friendships among these pairs of siblings. In this photo Chris and Greg test their strength by holding up their teammates.
These two pairs of sisters are all smiles when they are together. Kelly Bollinger and Beth Theranger don't care that their sisters, Janet and Meg, are younger. They still find themselves having many activities in common and always have fun as a group. Ed and Julia Corliss don't like to make it obvious that they are brother and sister. This is unlike Nick and Chris Spinosa who have no problem showing their affection towards each other. Regardless of how they act in front of the camera, both pairs of siblings are glad to be together at SHS and to see a friendly face around the halls. These two pairs of musical siblings can be seen in almost every performance group at SHS. The band, orchestra, choir, color guard, and theatre groups are represented by at least one member of this group. They are Brett and Rebecca Mills and Bob and Mandy Wharton.
Usually the older brother is supposed to look out for his younger brother. In this case, Dan Gibson finds himself holding up his older brother Josh. Maybe Josh can help Dan by letting him know that hats aren't allowed to be wom during school.

The Springfield Marching Band got together in August to start to prepare their half~time show. The older mem~ bers welcomed and helped out the incoming freshmen. The show consisted of three songs with a movie theme. The show contained the fa~
miliar tune from Robin Hood, a si~ lent drill, and a mace toss. The band also mar~ ched in all the pa~ rades including their favorite, the Halloween pa~ rade. The band also performed at Marple for a competition to compare their talents with other schools.
The Marching Band loves to play stand music. Brendan Kaufman is playing his favorite song "Louie, Louie".
Laura McShane warms up before the half-time show. This is an important step to make sure that the sound quality is at it's best. After a long week of summer practices, the Marching Band looked forward to the annual lockin. The pie-eating contest had a participant from every section of the band. The saxophones were proud of their very own Nate DiGiorgio for beating their rivals; the brass section.
After using all their energy for their performance during their half-time show Katie App, Kim Levengood, Katie Dubil, and Janet Bollinger replenish themselves with food bought with fundraising money. This is always a good time for all the underclassmen to get to know the seniors.
Tina DiCroce, Jenna Bratz, Darcy Borden, Laura McShane, Jen Sang, Caroline Kobylarz, Carla D'Olio, Jenna Beaver, and Claire Chevalier showed their girl power as the Sailor Moon gang in the Halloween parade. Megan Kasmer is involved in many different activities at SHS such as being a class officer and participating in several athletics. She is always looking for another chance to hang out with her friends during her busy schedule and band gives her this opportunity.

Summer practices tend to be a challenging time for the freshmen, but Annelie Dugan learned the trick; concentration. She mastered the art of playing and marching at the same time beautifully, which often discourages many newcomers. Many members of the band look forward to relaxing after a hard performance at home football games. These underclassmen are enjoying the free food and drinks provided for the band by the generous Band and Orchestra Parents Association. Freshmen buddies, Greg Allen and Shawn McConaghy, are looking for all of their new friends during a break from a summer band practice. Marching Band is a very good way for a freshman to ease their way into high school and meet many upperclassmen.
Kristen Burke, Clare Chevalier, Kim Wagner, and Jenna Bratz, have become great friends by sitting in the stands together at all of the games and talking during their Wednesday night rehearsal breaks. These three scrubs start the familiar tune played before every football game. Andrew Pellak, Matt Hepler, and Dan Crowe begin the cadence that gets the football players pumped up and ready to play.
Jenna Beaver, one of the more experienced members in the band, always shows a tremendous amount of talent on the field with her superior marching style.

Front and Center This year, the Color Guard experienced many new changes. They combined the silks, rifles, and dance squad into one group. To learn how to use all the new equipment the girls met twice a week, once to rehearse by themselves and another night to put what they learned with the rest of the band. Their talents really added a great effect on the field. They used a variety of different techniques to express the music such as, flags, rifles, sabers, and ballet moves. During the climax of the final song, the Color Guard sent chills throughout the audience in the stands with their excellent choreography. Without all of the time and energy they put into their practicing, the show would not have been such a success.
Freshmen, Clare McKenna and Jaime Lukert, love having each other for support. Learning how to use all the equipment can be difficult but these two did an excellent job mastering all the new routines. With a little effort, they hope to be future captains.
Drills are a big part of performing a show, but in order to have a spectacular performance you have to have the right costumes. Senior captain, Rita Squitiere, shows the squad how to put on their makeup for the best effect on the field.

He helped greet people at the Old Country Buffet, and played a few friendly tunes for the customers during the holiday season. Due to scheduling problems, Meghan Cullen had to be the only senior in Symphonic Band. This position came with many responsibilities because many of the underclassmen look to the seniors to find out how things are done.
Ryan Hennessey, only a freshman is already great at playing two instruments. He can hit the high notes on the field with a trumpet, and ace the low ones for concerts on his tuba.
Val Turner is actively involved in sports all year and manages to have enough time to finish all her homework and practice her oboe music. Even with her bUSy schedule she still manages to be full of energy every day.

After a long practice, Jen Aitken begins to put her violin away. Jen is a senior and has loved playing over the years, but she still looks forward to this part of the period.
As a freshman, Kerry Ellis is getting ready to preform for her first time as a SHS student. Kerry enjoys playing the viola and has been playing for many years. She will be ready for her debut when it comes. Playing the viola is a hard position because it's one of the smallest string sections. Individually they have to play louder to be heard. Kerry works very hard at making her section as strong as it can be.
This year, the Orchestra worked diligently to put on three successful concerts. The first was the Win cert, the second in February the Spring Concert.

Choir
The Glee Club The Springfield Chorus is com~ posed of about 150 students from every grade. To prepare for their concerts, the students had to meet at nights to combine all the different classes together. The chorus had two big concerts this yeac the Winter Concert, and the Spring Concert. The Win~ ter Concert featured many tradi~ tional songs. For the last song, the chorus invited the members of the audience to join them up on stage to sing the Hallelujah Chorus. The Spring Concert in~ cluded fun, cheerful songs to go with the weather. The chorus concerts have continued to be a popular event and have some of the largest audience turnouts.
Greg Riviello and Chns Nelson like to play their parts out on the piano. This really helps them sing their part because everyone has different notes and chords.
lelina Ton, a four year member of the chorus, ,repares for her last Winter Concert. The concert Iways puts her in the mood for the holiday eason.
I3nanne Sullivan looks over her music one more time dunng a break to fix any parts that she may have sung wrong. Many students often stay after school to get help with their parts.

this group is to promote student participation in sports along with school spirit. The advisors are Mr. Werley and Miss Caffey. Ath~ letic Advisory sells food at the football and basketball games. The members also take turns orating the morning announce~ ments during advisory. Without the Athletic Advisory, sports here at Springfield would not get as much attention or student representation.
The most represented grade in the advisory is the sophomores. It is apparent that there is a promising future in SHS sports. Athletic Advisory members shown are Jackie Bowers, Keon West Taylor Buchholz, Nick Spinosa, Gina Thompson, KelIy Walker, Colleen KelIy, Kate Pierangeli, John Hickey, and Megan Kasmer. All members of the advisory come to the cafeteria every Tuesday during advisory for updates on athletic events. This is a great time to catch up with their fellow athletes and discuss activities.
Athletic Advisory
Members of STARE, including president Kurt Eckman, are always educating themselves about wrongful animal situations so they can help find a solution to stop them. Kurt is always looking for information that he can use to educate himself and others. He is truly dedicated to this cause.
STARE and Amnesty join together to participate in a Write-a-Thon. STARE member Christina Moore writes a letter protesting animal testing.
With the goal of helping the environment, Students Towards Animal Rights and the Environment (STARE) acts locally. It gives students a chance to explore events dealing with environmental and animal rights issues. The club participates in park clean-ups, fundraisers, the Write-a-Thon, and meets every month. Advisor, Mrs. Dannaker and officers, Kurt Eckman, Bob TomarellL Brendan Kaufman, and Kevin Brady, spend extra time to plan activities and discuss future plans. With their desire to help, STARE members help out their peers and community.
Along with writing the letters, someone has to do thejob of preparing the letters to be mailed. After the letters are stuffed into envelopes and sealed, STARE officers Brian Morrison and Bob Tomarelli- take the task of stamping the envelopes that will soon be mailed. A lot of time and effort is put into the Write-a-Thon.
Mike Troilo takes a break from writing to relieve the writing cramp in his hand. Members like Mike write one letter after another to try to increase animal rights during the Write-a-Thon.

When the kids arrive, with their milk cartons in hand, they follow club me~ bers instructions on how to make the houses and then they are free to decorate their house however they please. This event and the others that ASCE sponsors are a good op~ portunity for the children to as~ sociate with older kids and the students of SliS enjoy the ac~ tivities also. ASCE is a great program for both age groups.
Dan Reger and these two young boys go over their gingerbread house blue prints. Although most of ASCE members are girls, its always good to see guys like Dan ready to lend their help. The young children benefit from associating with older males and females.

Under the advisement of Mrs. Boehning, the Spri-Hian staff consists of about twenty students. The students in this group are very dedicated. They need to spend at least one day a week after school working on upcoming productions. Spri-Hian is also a class that is offered every other day all year. The Spri-Hian's purpose is to inform students about events that they might not have otherwise known.
They write about new teachers, music events, restaurant reviews, and sporting events. The paper is also a place were students can voice their opinions on different issues. There are many aspects of creating a newspaper. The group consists of photographers, artists, editors, writers, and cartoonists. Some ofthe things that makes the SpriHian special are, the anonymous column written by "The Shadow", the artwork that is submitted, and the trivia that is given at the end of each issue.
Joe Fuiman is a junior at Springfield High School. He is also one of the photographers for the Spri-Hian. Joe is always ready to take pictures when people need him. You can see him here trying his best to capture the moment. Heather Hunter and Kim Benedict are often found in Mrs. Boehnings room working on the Spri-Hian.

Katie Dubil, the Senior Editor, finds herself "striking a pose" for her own camera. She says her inspiration comes from Madonna, her hero. Unlike most of the yearbook staff, Steve Underwood, the underclass editor finds the pressure of meeting his deadlines strangely relaxing. Instead of pacing the room while trying to think of a caption, he simply sits back and relaxes.
After staying for hours to work on yearbook, the staff uses advisory time to catch up on sleep in the yearbook room. Good friends Christi Bailey, Janet Bollinger, and Katie App take advantage of this break from classes.

Even though STW is hard at work Mr. Henry still has time to smile for a quick picture between runs of the scene. After 10 years of helping students discover their sometimes hidden talents, Mr. Henry is still going strong!
This year once again the Drama department reached new levels in excellent performing. Year after year, students ranging from freshmen to seniors have participated in Springfield productions under the direction of Mr. Robert Henry. There are several classes that this department offered students this year. These include freshmen Theater which performed a variety show, Introduction To Acting, Advanced Acting, which did a show case where they performed scenes from plays as well as monologues, and STW who was involved in two competitions as well as performing 1/2 hour plays. During the beginning of the second se-
STW is not only an activity where students can preform as well as learn how to improve their acting skills. For Anna Hahn and Heather Hunter it is a chance to form long lasting friendships.

mester, a talented group of students appeared in the show "A Cabaret of Broadway Music". Many of the students were featured in their own songs as well as group choirs. The other production that was seen this year was the unique but complicated play "Jake's Women" by Neil Simon. The Drama department has again made us proud to be students of SHS and if you dream of becoming famous keep in mind this piece of reality: "It is a very tough business. You have to really love it."-Mr. Henry. Remember, even if you fail, keep on trying and you will succeed just like the talented actors and actresses here at SHS!

Community Service Club officers Patty Lopez, Alexis Viso, Geoff DeLizzio, Jon Gorman, Heather Rhoads, and Katie Simpson enjoy spending time together while coming up with creative ways to help their fellow citizens. Most of their time is spent fundraising and planning exciting events. It's amazing that they have time for anything else!
Friends Erin Kane and Amy Welsh agree to take a quick break to pose for a picture, but only for a second because they have lots of work to do. Lisa Woods is a very thoughtful freshman. She takes time after school to make a Valentine's Day card for a senior citizen. She smiles as she imagines how happy they will be to receive her card.
The Community Service Club is a very big part of Springfield High School. The club helps to bridge the gap between students at the school and the surrounding community by doing various service projects, holding fundraisers, and hosting social events. The club is led by five officers: Alexis Viso and Geoff DeLizzio (co-presidents), Katie Simpson and Heather Rhoads (activities coordinators), Jon Gorman (secretary), and Patty Lopez (treasurer). The members of the club are expected to perform 10 hours of community service each semester and can obtain these hours in many ways. In the fall, members aid neighCommunity Service
boring senior citizens by doing yard work. During the holiday season food and toy drives are held to help the needy and cards are made to put a smile on their faces. Members also participate in the Adopt-a-Highway program which runs throughout the year. The biggest event for the club is the Senior Citizen's Prom in the Spring. The members, working in part with the Leo Lions club and faculty sponsors Ruth Snyder and Susan Descano, finish each school year with a good feeling, knowing they have made a difference in many people's lives.
Freshman Michelle Tomlinson is hardly ever seen without a smile on her face. Whether in the halls at school or raking leaves for the elderly she maintains a very positive attitude that is contagious to others. Michelle is not discouraged by the number of leaves remaining on the ground. She takes it as a challenge.
Megan Kasmer and Katie Simpson look up from their Valentine's Day cards. These two make a great team. Megan draws the pictures and Katie writes the messages.
Nate DiGiorgio is very happy that Britt Ori has agreed to be his Valentine. Before he makes her a card, he makes sure she knows that he has to make cards for the senior citizens first. Britt decides to help him because two people work faster than one!

Community Service
One of the most prestigious organizations at StIS is the National tIonor Society. Students accepted into this group must exemplify good scholarship, leadership, service, and character. The group requires that the members have at least a 3.5 GPA and be actively involved within the community. Members have to sustain this requirement and meet other expectations to remain in NtiS. The members participate in many activities sponsored by NtiS. These activities include Data Matches and bear making. The members also help by tutoring students which is important because this allows them to give back to the school and community.
Seniors Ellen Rundbaken, Katie App, and Katie Dubil take a quick picture after the induction ceremony. These three are involved with numerous activities ranging from sports to band. They are also heavily involved as editors of the yearbook. Seniors Ajay Patel and Chrissy Young stop to take a picture before they go help sell the Data Matches. Date Matches are a great way to find out your compatibility with some of your classmates. It could also help you find a date for the next dance.

Jackie Bowers lights the candle Janet Bollinger is holding. This symbolizes their oath to serve the community and keep an outstanding character through their years at Springfield. Jackie and Janet's involvement in sports and extracurricular activities helped ensure them a place in NHS.
Christina Moore talks about putting the final touches on the bear making activity. Being a senior, Christina was put in charge of making sure all the materials were ready for everybody to use. Christina also tutors after school to help several middle school students improve their study habits. Dave Derr asks NHS member Carla D'Olio for some advice after school. NHS members are always willing and able to help out in whatever subject is necessary. Students who have problems conceming a specific subject matter or just general concepts often look to NHS members for help. Geoff DeLizzio laughs at Adam LeGrand's Data Match because he is listed as Adam's best friend. This category was new this year.
One of NHS's most popular activities is bear making. Here, juniors Nancy Shirley and Chrissy Milkowski prepare some of the materials needed to make the bears. Once the bears are complete they are given to children during the holiday season as part of the annual Turkey Fund.
Kim Wagner poses for a quick picture before the bear making activities start. Kim is the vice-president of NHS. This is Kim's first year on NHS and being Vice-President is quite an achievement.

Peers are all around you. So why not put them to good use? Peer Facilitators do just that. This group of affable people is help just around the comer. They are led by Ms. Ardao, Ms. Moyer, and Mr. Sacket. The members of Peer Facilitators help fellow SHS students solve their problems. These problems range from relationships, family, friends, or even suicide. When you are conferencing with your peer, you are in a room with familiar faces. This makes for a comfortable and relaxing environment. But
making people feel better isn't the only thing that they do. Every year they hold "Meet a Peer Day." This is the chance for the members to go out and meet new people. It is always a ' success with treats at the end of the day. The group of students go to a Peer Camp during the Fall, which is held in Philhaven, PA. There, they trained for many hours to learn how to help others in the best way possible. If you ever need to talk to a friend, Peer Facilitators are always available, so lean on them.
Jason Wallin and others are participating in one of the many events at peer camp. This camp gives all the members a chance to bond and get to know each other. This task requires a lot of trust among the group.
Shanna Tracey is a very independent student here at SHS. She always expresses her opinion and is a leader whenever she can be of help. At peer camp she was always volunteering to assist as shown here. She can always be counted on for help.

"1 don't mind being a student aide, because the credit is worth itl" - Jen Damia, junior.
Sarah Affonsa is one of the best student aides that Mr. Duffey has ever had. He has her photocopy Lesson Masters everyday, and she has never complained. Never has a student/teacher relationship been stronger than that of Gregg Byrne and Mr. Cooper. Gregg is one of Mr. Cooper's student aides. He helps by photocopying music.
Dayna Johnson is one of the most athletic student aides in the school. As a student aide, she chose Mr. Harley to work for. They have one important thing in common: Basketball!
, Student Aide
The LMC is lucky to have Rich DeMatteo this year as a student aide. Rich helps Mrs. Naismith by checking out magazines. His favorite part of the LMC is the Dewey decimal system.
Who are the behind the scenes student helpers? Of course, it is the student aides. These young men and women do various jobs for teachers, ranging from countless hours of photocopying to grading papers. To be a student aide, the student first has to sign up for the course. Many students become aides to get rid of study halls. Then, they find any teacher who would like to have an aide for the certain period that the student is free. This is great for the students because they can choose what teachers they want to work with. Another perk of being a student aide is getting extra credits towards graduation. We should all give credit to all of the student aides, because it is strenuous, hard work!

1ille Best J\Ild The Brightest The Kimberly Clark Hi-Q tournament is one of the most well established scholastic competitions in the country. The team consists of ten members under the guidance of Mr. Young. They all begin to study well before the school year begins in order to gain the maximum degree of preparation. The team studies broad areas of knowledge, ranging from Biology and Physics to Sports and Current Events. Each year, the group participates in three meets, one of which is held at SHS. four members of our team play against an equal number of students from two other schools. Each correct answer on the first try is worth four points. A running total of scores from each of the three meets is kept; only the top seven schools proceed to the playoffs. The Springfield team did very well this year, missing the cutoff by only a few points.
The 2000 Springfield High School Hi-Q team, standing left to right: Joe Saunders, Jason Wallin, Matt Hindley, Jon Gorman, Kevin Brady, and Faculty Advisor Robert Young. Seated left to right: Steve Underwood, Jennifer Sang, Beth Theranger, Laura McShane, and Kurt Eckman. Laura McShane is a key member of the Hi-Q team. She is excellent at retaining all the information that she must know for each meet.
Matt Hindley studies his load of material after school. The group has many meetings, especially when one of the meets is approaching.
Joe Saunders quizzes his group on his assigned work. Working with another member is very helpful in memorizing your own work.

Future Einsteins The Science Olympiad team is a group of students with various scientific interests. The team studies twenty-two events ranging from the Chemistry and Physics Labs to Experimental Design. Each one tests the students scientific knowledge and ingenuity. Mr. Zumpano coordinates the group, although the team does much of the work on its own under the direction of senior team members. In addition to question-based events some require the actual construction of a functional device; for example, the Tower Building event. The ultimate goal of the group is to prepare for the regional competition, in which dozens of schools participate. This year it was held at Delaware Valley College. The schools that score highest in the regional competition move on to the statewide competition. The group met on Saturdays at 10:00 AM in the GIS room, working especially hard as the March competition approached.
,teve Underwood begins to compile a list of the chemicals needed for all of the :xperiments performed in the Chemistry Lab. This is the basis for a great deal of he work done by the team in preparation for the experiments that will be 'erformed on the day of the competition itself.
Junior Matt Hindley begins the long task of assembling a streamlined rocket from plastic bottles, cloth, and tape. Creating a rocket that will fly as high as possible is a long, repetitive process and many other members will be drawn into the job before it is completed.
Working out in the commons gives captain Ajay Patel and sophomore Jenna Bratz more room to relax and study. This is a welcome escape from the GIS room, which can become very crowded at times. It also allows members to test out the bottle rocket and other inventions. Although the team does a great deal of the work on their own, Mr. Zumpano is a huge help in organizing the meetings and offering useful advice from his reservoir of scientific knowledge.

What used to be a fundraising club that supported youth facial reconstruction across seas has broadened its service to help out needy residents of Nicaragua. The new edition on Operation Smile'S agenda this year is titled The Bocai Project. Half of the profits made by the club are sent to aid the facial surgeries in Third World Countries. The other half is sent to benefit nutritional, agricultural, and hygiene oriented programs in Nicaragua. Officers Michelle Miller and Sarah Johnson tried to plan as many fundraisers as possible this year.
Here is senior Jobin Philip taking some notes at an Operation Smile meeting. This is Jobin's third year in Operation Smile. This year he was elected Secretary. His job is to take notes, make flyers, and petitions when needed. He is a very important asset to the club.
Beth Theranger, President, has carried on her sister Katie's tradition who started the club at SHS. She has gone to many out-of-town meetings to learn to make the club the best that it can be.
:arrie O'Connell loves being a part of this great club. She is on upcoming events because she is the club's ecretary.

Best Buddies is a relatively new club at 5115. The program is beneficial to the community by having students become "best buddies" with mentally challenged peers. The club pairs up the members with a student from Don Guanella. The students calI their buddies about once a week to get to know each other better. They also make plans to get together and do things, such as going to the movies. The club also plans several group activities throughout the year. This program is truly one of the more satisfying clubs that the school offers. The club is led by president Beth Theranger.
Julie Waddington loves to talk and tell stories. She realized this was one of her strong points and decided to join the club. Shown here, Julie is talking to one of her new buddies. She enjoys the organization so much that she volunteered to be Vice-President.

This is the second year Springfield's Indoor Color Guard has been competing. Indoor guard performs at various competitions held at different high schools. They performed to the music of their choice while incorporating dance moves with different equipment such as flags, rifles, and sabers. They also had a championship competition weekend held in Wildwood, New Jersey at the end of the season. The indoor guard's season spanned from January to May. This year's SHS indoor guard consisted of 14 dedicated members. They were under the direction of Mrs. Roseanne Squitiere, Ms. Christa Proschinger, and Mrs. Cathy Friez. They were also under the instruction of Miss Kelly Hensley and Mr. Chris Perez, who are students at West Chester University. This year's program was to the music of "Silent Lucidity" by Queensryche, which takes you through the magical journey of a dream.
Michele Eley holds a pose after a run through before the first competition. Her bi~ smile could help influence the jUdges at their meet the next morning. Not only is thei choreography important so are their attitudes.
This group of talented performers stopped their Friday night practice to change into their costumes. The group does their own fundraising and makes theiJ own costumes. The night before a competition is always very busy.

he guard only has two nights to use the gym each week, so practice time has to be very :oductive. They have a long list of things to accomplish. Though making friends isn't on the ;t, Cara Cavicchia and Danielle Raffaele couldn't help it.

Jill Backall is always in the right state of mind for practices. Jill always remembers all the moves and steps and is great under pressure, she's a great person to perform in the front. Danielle Friez strikes a disco pose in the middle of the drill. She has a great ability to draw attention to herself with her graceful movements.

Up Close And Personal o
This year's Close Up theme was foreign Mfairs. Students from across the country came together in Washington D.C. to learn the concepts of overseas government. The 200 participants took part in a workshop called Global Relations Simulation. In these groups they faced real problems and had to solve them by using the knowledge they gained throughout the week. They also met government representatives, explored museums, and listened to foreign ambassadors speak. All in all it was a great political learning experience for everyone. Close Up takes place every year but all must say goodbye to dreary D.C., next year Close Up is going to Hawaii!
Junior Erica Williams lounges with her new friend. Making friends at Close Up is nothing new, you find yourself working with many students from all different parts of the country. Whoa! Geoff DeLizzio found a sweetie in D.C. He seems to work his magic all around the globe, not just here in Springfield.
All of the students who attended Close Up this year are anxiously awaiting the departure of their chartered bus. Their sponsor, Mr. McRae, wanted to take a group photo. He is sure that the group will appreciate the photo after the trip since they will spend a lot of time together and become good friends.
Junior Anna Hahn and senior Rita Squitiere seem to have made a male friend on the trip. He is from California. The geological diversity amongst peers allowed for a great learning experience. Senior Jim Wheatley sits patiently with camera in hand. There were many kodak moments during Close Up's trip to D.C. The most popular snap shot spots were the White House, the Washington Monument, and the Vietnam Memorial.

She attended Rosemont College where she received her Bachelor's degree in English literature, and she also attended Villanova University where she received her Master's in theatre. After college she worked professionally in theatre. She was a cast member of two national musical tours that toured the United States and Canada. She has done professional work in commercials and music videos. Before coming to StlS, Ms. Liguori worked for four years at E.T.R. teaching eighth grade. She then came to StlS and has been working here for 4 years. She is currently teaching senior English, tlonors English, and introduction to acting. Miss Liguori always knew she wanted to
be a teacher. When she was a little girl she played school with her friends all the time, and her eighth grade yearbook noted teaching or singing as her future profession. She in fact does sing professionally on the weekends. She sings in a band called "Easy Street", that plays in the tri-state area. Miss Liguori's other hobbies include reading, playing the piano, going to the theatre, and studying Shakespeare. When we asked Ms. Liguori what her favorite works that she has covered in class are, she said, Our Town and William Shakespeare's tlamlet. Ms. Liguori also added, "1 love teaching. My students are wonderful and make me smile everyday. I enjoy the challenge of trying to make the literature come alive so that students make connections". Miss Liguori is certainly a very special individual and a terrific teacher. Your hard work has surely paid off, thank you!

Cheerleading
This year's cheerleading squad started off their season in August when they attended Pine Forest UCA Cheerleading Camp. Under the direction of head coach Pattie Brower, and assistant coaches Danielle Raech and Stephanie Diamond, many great achievements were made possible. During the four days at camp, this team learned proper techniques in stunting, tumbling jumping, and picked up sideline cheers for football games. Due to their synchronization, hard work, and excitement this squad came home with a number of honors. However, the girls didn't stop there. After a great deal of practices, these hardworking girls attended a regional competition. They boarded the buses and traveled to Virginia for a weekend. These girls were awarded with a first place trophy to bring home, and they were given a bid to go to Nationals which were held in Florida. This cheerleading squad continued to practice and raise money to go to Nationals. Not only did these girls place in the top 25 in the nation in Florida, they had time to enjoy their trip while visiting some amusement parks. Seniors Alaina Watts, Jenn Kobasa, Carly Rickards, Gina Thompson, Melissa Dunderdale, Sara Johnson, and Dana Rygwelski set high standards for the rest of the team to follow all year long. The tremendous amount of effort, hard work and dedication paid off for the team this year due to their highly successful season.

This season the Lady Cougars basketball team played well. The team lost many seniors to graduation last year but were able to fill the void with some great underclass performances. The team played well throughout the season but really went on a tear towards the end. Their winning streak towards the end of the season earned the Lady Cougars a well deserved district playoff berth. The team helped their Coach, Kim Caffey, earn her one hundredth coaching victory with the girls' basketball team. The team was led by their outstanding guard Kate Pierangeli. The team also received solid play from tri-captains Megan Kasmer and Jackie Bowers. The team really got a lift from their outstanding class of sophomores. Sophomores Sabrina Catrambone, Kristen Cellucci, Sarah Affonsa, and Marie Carter were able to play some great minutes and add on both the offensive and defensive end of the court. The Cougars really used their great team speed to their advantage due to their lack in size at the center and power forward positions. Significant contributions were also made by juniors Lauren Goane, Sunday Dyitt and Sean Dougherty. The team was pleased overall with their play this season as well as their playoff berth.

This year's Boys Basketball team had a great season and was an exciting team to watch all year long. The team had a couple of losses early but were able to have a great season and make it into the district playoffs. The team was carried early by the great shooting of junior guard Steve "Gunner" Fattori. Later in the season the two senior leaders, Nick Spinosa and Ed Corliss, had their "A" game after recovering from early season injuries through which they played. The team had a great defense and was able to produce instantaneous offense from this. The team had great contributions from a number of other players. Seniors Carl Salerno, Steve Corey and GUy 0' Connor played some big minutes and scored points in crucial games that they either started or came from off the bench. Junior Mike Wallin was one of the steadiest players all year and gave them great rebounding presence all season long. Sophomore Mark Byrnes was a blocking machine, he also gave the Cougars some more size on defense. Keon West was also able to play some big minutes towards the end of games. The Cougars were able to have some great wins this season and enjoyed the experience. The team was always supported by the fans. Whether they were at home or on the road did not make a difference to the fans, they loved watching the Cougars play.

What On Earth
Happened;-
The world spent much of the past thousand years making some pretty amazing history. As the millennium began, Druids practiced dark rituals, while the Byzantine Empire dominated Eastern Europe. Conqueror Genghis Khan put the Mongols on the map in the 1200s, and the Great Wall protected China against would-be invaders. The Middle Ages, though plagued by feudalism, heralded gal lant knights and the governing ideals of the Magna Carta. The Renaissance and The Enlightenment both saw great achievements in art, science and exploration, followed by Romantic and Revolutionary periods in France and colonial America. As industry and capitalism grew, so did Communism in the Soviet Union and beyond. The World Wars and other 20th century conflicts brought struggles for power amid vast advancements in communications and technology. History's movers and shakers included Joan of Arc, the teenager who led France to victory against England in 1429, and Martin Luther whose religious reforms shocked the 16th century. King Henry VIII of England kept his head while severa l of his spouses lost theirs. Sir Winston Churchil l helped England stand courageously against Nazi Germany. One recent hero is Nelson Mandela, South Africa's first black president and anti-apartheid activist. Time marches on .. .and the next chapter is already being written.
In 1961, the Berlin Wall was erected to prevent residents of Communist East Berlin, Germany, from fleeing to non-Communist West Berlin for a better way of life. In 1989, the East Germans opened the Wall, lifted immigration restrictions and reunited Germany. Tearing down the Wall symbolized the end of the Cold War, which started when the Soviet Union created "Iron Curtain " countries isolated from the Western world. In the '50s, fear of communism in the United States resulted in the "Red Scare ."

Japan surrendered soon after, ending World War II. Because of Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor, resulting in America's participation in the war, and the Holocaust atrocities perpetrated by Adolf Hitler's Nazi Germany, the destructive effects of World War II would live in infamy.
The Christmas tree began as an evergreen decorated with apples, symbolizing Eden in a December med ieval German play. By the 1600s, trees in German homes were trimmed with candles, fruits and cookies. Currently, Christmas is a multi-billion dollar business with wreaths, mistletoe, stockings, movies, outdoor decorations and cards.
Crusading Towards The Holy land When Muslims took control of the Holy Land during the Middle Ages, Christians from Western Europe vowed to recapture the area . Nine major Crusades were organized with kings, nobles, peasants, and even children taking part. None was successful. Holy wars have continued to rage in such places as the Middle East, including the Six-Day War between Israel and Egypt in 1967.

Leaders. Followers. The millennium caught every generation a bit off-guard, but folks quickly had the lingo and the look down. When Elizabethan life got ruffled around the collar, everyone copied. Then poof! Powdered wigs, some several feet high, got nobles noticed in the 17th century. How about wooden teeth in Washington's time? By George, it beat having none at all! As the years passed, women wore the bustle and disco freaks did the Hustle. The '50s poodle skirts bred '70s dog tags, '80s spiked dog collars and '90s Old Navy mutts. Who knew there'd be just as much fur-vor over Davy Crockett coonskin caps in the ' '50s as with raccoon coats in the '20s? While some slipped on shining armor, carefree flapper dresses and Calvin Klein jeans, others followed different fads. Joysticks maneuvered Pac-Man into the arcade hall of fame. Suddenly everyone cared for Pet Ro"cks, squeezed into phone booths, pounced on Pog, pierced body parts and chose CB radio handles . Will there be as many "must haves" next millennium? Only the Magic 8 Ball knows for sure.

Arts Imitate life Nearly every civilization during the millennium expressed its culture and defining events through art and architecture. Great painters, musicians, authors and sculptors vividly captured the emotions of their day. Early Romans built coliseums and staged comedies. Byzantine mosaics and icons reflected Eastern Christian beliefs while Chinese painters produced deft landscapes. The Middle Ages fostered the rise of Gothic cathedrals, poet Chaucer's "Canterbury Tales" and finely woven tapestries. In the Renaissance, William Shakespeare pumped up a volume of still-popular plays.
Deep Thought Number 2,114
Michelangelo busily sculpted his marble marvel David. Novelists such as Jane Austen characterized the Romantic Movement of the 18th century while the 19th century promoted Impressionist painter Monet, socially-conscious authors including Charles Dickens and the riverside adventures of Mark Twain. Ballet legend Nijinsky leaped on the 20th century arts scene. Picasso broke with tradition to pioneer Cubism and Dali turned dreams into surreality. Don't forget Dadaism, Mamaism and Norman Rockwellism. Opera was a trill a minute with stars including Beverly Sills and Luciano Pavarotti. Stephen King and Ann Rice chilled with horror novels, while Ernest Hemingway and John Steinbeck proved more down-to-earth. Broadway was Neil Simon-ized, then "Lion King"-ized.
When 19th century French sculptor Auguste Rodin created his bronze work, The Thinker, he used his knowledge of anatomy and movement to capture intensely human emotions as great Renaissance and Baroque sculptors Michelangelo and Bernini had done before him. Many 20th century sculptors crafted more experimental works, such as Marc Chagall's mobiles and Marcel Duchamp's creations from discarded materials.
Smile. You're On Canvas Camera Renaissance master Leonardo da vinds 1503 portrait of Mona Lisa, the wife of a silk merchant, was extraordinary with its dramatic dark/light contrasts and ultramysterious smile. A face immortalized in history was a cinch if one happened to know such artists as Rembrandt, Van Gogh, Toulouse-Lautrec or Wyeth. Many painters, however, opted for religious scenes, still lifes and landscapes.

Sixty-year-old Willie Loman spent his life way out there in the blue, riding a smile and a shoeshine, a salesman extraordinaire. Arthur Miller's drama, "Death of a Salesman," became one of the most riveting plays ever staged as it questioned the American dream and explored the depths of failure. During the 20th century, audiences have witnessed other gripping dramas such as "A Raisin in the Sun" and "The Glass Menagerie."
. Clawing Its Way To The Top
Call it the face that launched a thousand album covers, t-shirts and manic-depressive sufferers. Norwegian Edvard Munch's 1893 painting, The Scream, was an anguished cry of isolation and fear that influenced the 20th century Expressionist movement and reminded us of our own stressed-out lives. Vincent Van Gogh and Edgar Allan Poe were among other desperate artists and authors of the time.

His other creations involved striking images of mass-media icons Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor.

Music of the millennium started on a somber note with the Gregorian chants of monks and ended on samba, "La Bamba" and "Living La Vida Loca ." French troubadours roamed the countryside with poems and tunes in the Middle Ages . Lutes and flutes added richness to the Renaissance, while chamber music was Handeled well in the Baroque period . Beethoven, Mozart and Tchaikovsky crowned the classical music of the 18th and 19th centuries . Strauss then waltzed in to share the spotlight and Sousa marched over to greatness. The birth of the Blues and Jazz brought Billie Holiday and Duke Ellington, followed by Big Bands and the easygoing Swing era. With a twist and shout, Rock & Roll cruised in from Elvis Presley, Chuck Berry, Jimi Hendrix, KISS and Aerosmith. "We Are the World " provided musical relief and Farm Aid helped heal the heartland . Patsy Cline and Willie Nelson added that country twang, Sinatra made the songs so smooth, and folks listened happily ever after.

An unexpected 500,000 fans, from hippies to anti-war protesters, braved traffic jams to witness this far-out trip guided by legends including Jimi Hendrix, Jefferson Airplane and Janis Joplin . Not bad for a single day's ticket price of $8 . Woodstock later inspired such mega-concerts as Lollapalooza and Lilith Fair.
Betcha dollars to jelly donuts that Elvis Presley will always be the King, with his swivel hips and voice that thrilled . fans on The Ed Sullivan Show and the big screen. He burned up the charts with hits like "Hound Dog" and "Jailhouse Rock." He also popularized Las Vegas casinos with his shows, spawned Elvis impersonators and sparked kitschy trends like Graceland's jungle prints, shag carpeting, flashy jumpsuits and long sideburns. Thankyuhverymuch.

Going Aher ACure
II Does ABodV Good Consumers have become more concerned about keeping healthy, germ-free and well-groomed from head to toe. During the Middle Ages, baths were rarely taken , but today showers and baths are taken daily in order to keep clean , and healthy. Today ' :.., toothpaste, deodorants and mouthwash are used daily. Vitamins and natural herbs are popular and medical advancements keep folks functioning better.
Despite numerous medical milestones, curing diseases such as AIDS and cancer eludes the population. In the ' 80s, Ryan White, a hemophiliac, contracted HIV through blood transfusions and later died . The AIDS virus is the latest epidemic civi lizations have battled. The Bubonic Plague killed 40 million by the 14th century and the Typhoid Fever outbreak of the early 1900s claimed countless lives as well. Vaccines now prevent such diseases as smallpox, but any mutations could pose a threat again.
Numb And Number Prior to the use of anesthesia during operations, early surgeons and barbers cut veins to drain "bad" blood, or sucked it out with leeches to cure patients . Boiling oil was sometimes poured on wounds to sterilize them . Before nitrous oxide and ether were introduced as anesthetics in the 1800s, most operations weren 't performed at all. Surgical conditions were unsanitary, causing infections to spread rapidly.

Workers on the run were sold sandwiches from horse-drawn lunch wagons in the 1870s. America's fast food frenzy hit the road with the diner in the '40s and it's been burgers, fries and vending machines ever since. McDonald's put fast food on the map in the '50s, and its Big Mac Attack proved unstoppable. KFC, Arby's and Taco Bell have even sprung up in school cafeterias, airports, grocery and convenience stores. Would you like Beanie Babies with that?

Curling Irons I
Bodybuilding became a pumping iron passion after ex-97 lb. weakl ing Charles Atlas promoted his " Dynam ic Tension " muscle-producing exercises in the early 20th century. In the ' 80s and '90s, Arnold Schwarzenegger wannabes bench pressed and lifted weights in the gym so they could burn fat and get fit. Harmful steroids were replaced by sports drinks, creatine and protein bars to fuel performance.
Health Yoursel' The mysteries of med icine, better health and longer living were revealed as the millennium unfolded . Diseases prevalent in early times were conquered through improved medicine, sanitation, immunization and eating habits; although other factors such as high cholesterol, smoking and junk foods brought on such foes as heart d isease, cancer and obesity. The Food and Drug Administration now ensures proper processing to kill bacteria and preserve foods longer. In the 1800s, Austrian monk Gregor Mendel formulated the basic rules of heredity that led to genetics, and better understanding of human makeup. Florence Nightingale brought reforms to nursing in the 19th century including more sanitary conditions and scientific care for the sick. Instead of the guesswork so common in the Middle Ages, doctors now work to control, cure and prevent illness. Medical specialties were created, producing such authorities as pediatrician Dr. Benjamin Spock who knew all about babies. Exercise became almost an obsession as gyms, jogging tracks and Jane Fondas sprouted, and personal tra iners zeroed in on targeted areas. Take a deep breath and say hello to yoga, stress reduction therapy, medications to feel happy/ energetic/ calmer, wrinkle creams, alternative medicines, just name it. Either people are living better or just becoming more high maintenance.
Traveling carriage first built First vessel of the British Navy constructed First successful steam railroad operates in England
Coming And Going Anractions Getting around was slow and hard during the beginning of the millennium but somebody had to do it. In the Middle Ages, horses got saddled with pulling wagons transporting goods and passengers for long distances. Viking ships found rough sailing to Greenland and later America, but compasses and better construction of vessels in the 1400s made voyages and overseas trade possible. Canals and paved roads hastened travel in the 1700s and the first major U.S. Highway, the National Road, created road rage in the mid-1 800s. After Robert Fulton invented the steamboat, British inventor Richard Trevithick helped develop the locomotive .
Life quickened as travel and hauling freight became more economical. Electric trains, streetcars and gasolinepowered engines drove transportation into the modern era. Suddenly automobiles putt-putted along and sprouted everything from running boards to fins . Airplanes soared, subways roared and spaceships explored. The risks of progress have also been great, such as the loss of pilot Amelia Earhart and her plane on an around-theworld flight in 1937, the Space Shuttle Challenger explosion in 1986 and numerous airplane crashes. Tomorrow's transportation could include human teleportation and faster-than-light travel. The ride's been pretty good so far, but inevitably some still ask, "Are we there yet?"
Transit , Once steam-powered engines invaded 18th century Europe, a steam car, or horseless carriage, seemed a natural. The gasoline engine and pneumatic tire, however, made automobiles practical. Henry Ford 's 1908 assembly line mass production of his Model T made owning a car affordable. This led to the growth of suburbs, superhighways, motels, roadtrips, traffic jams, malls and, of course, fuzzy dice.

In the 1860s, the Central Pacific Railroad laid track eastward from Sacramento, California and the Union Pacific Railroad la id track westward from Omaha , Nebraska . The Transcontinental Ra ilroad was finished in 1869 when both railroads met in Promontory, Utah . Coast-to-coast freight and passenger lines dramatically increased settlements and trade. Today's subways, light rail and ultra-fast bullet trains move commuters like crazy and make good action movie sequences.
You 'd be brave and dirty if you traveled in the bumpy horse-drawn wagons that existed before stagecoaches arrived in 1670. Stagecoach lines carried passengers and mail along routes in the West. Passengers defied hard seats and bandits such as Jesse James. Settlers came in covered wagons along with their freight, forming wagon trains that sometimes traveled only one mile per hour. Folks with the need for speed rode horseback.

Da Plane! Da Plane! Leonardo da Vinci dreamed of flying machines with wings, but it took centuries to get the concept off the ground . The Montgolfier brothers were full of hot air when their balloon ascended in 1783 . Orville and Wilbur Wright had the right stuff and flew the first successful airplane in 1903 . Charles Lindbergh and Amelia Earhart flew far and solo, and Chuck Yeager broke the sound barrier. Today, airplanes carry millions of business, pleasure and military passengers. But airline food still hasn't improved much .
Sure beats getting seasick in a bumpy hovercraft or swimming it. In 1994, the chunnel made the world smaller by linking the continent of Europe and the United Kingdom via railway tunnel underneath the choppy English Channel.

In the Cold War, the scientific power of the U.S. and Soviet Union rested on advances in .space. After Sputnik I probed space in 1957, chimps, dogs and finally men rocketed into the sky. Astronaut John Glenn took Friendship 7 for some spins around Earth in 1962. By 1969, Americans were picking up moon rocks. Since then, shuttles launch and space stations orbit.

We Get Game Sports gained popularity as time lunged forward. While forms of games resembling soccer were played during the 1Oth century, life ra rely allowed time-outs for recreation . Thank goodness for the 1600s, when the English played Rounders, a baseball predecessor, and Scotland saw early rounds of golf. By the 1800s many people led the sportin' life, including James Naismith who invented basketball, and the students of Canada 's McGill University who scored with the fi rst hockey rules. Native American athlete Jim Thorpe won fame in early 20th century Olympic track and field, as well as football and baseball. Babe Didrickson, his female counterpart, excelled in golf as well as track and field. As baseball became a pastime and football a passion , Babe Ruth and Hank Aaron belted pitches"outta here," Jackie Robinson broke color barriers, Joe Namath threw footballs and John Elway busted Broncos loose in the Super Bowl. Today sports revolves around such stars as heavy-hitter Ken Griffey, Jr., golf sensation Tiger Woods and hoops immortal Michael Jordan. Amateur and school sports are also serious stuff. Millions are on the fast track with NASCAR auto racing , - on the edge for extreme sports and in the ropes for wrestling.
What really makes an athlete like home run king Mark McGwire a hero? Getting on General Mills' Wheaties cereal box, of course. There's noth ing flaky about the morn ing mania created since 1924 by "The Breakfast of Champions." Sports merchandiSing-from corporate-sponsored Bowl games to endorsement deals-seems like the hottest game in town .

Before modern boxing was introduced in the 1700s, the sport was brutal, with no rest periods or gloves allowed. Jack Dempsey, Joe Louis and Rocky Marciano emerge victorious in the 1900s. But no fighter jabbed and jested like Muhammed Ali . Quick, agile and boastful, "The Greatest" even wrote poems describing how he would defeat opponents. He also made heavyweight contributions to the community and human rights . •-

It Was All An Act After Thomas Edison invented the commercial motion picture machine, the Kinetoscope, in 1893, projection machines greatly enlarged a film's image. This led to one of the 20th century's most popular forms of entertainment, the movie. Sunny Hollywood beckoned such film directors as D.W. Griffith, who revolutionized film editing with The Birth of a Nation in 1915. Silent films made quiet stars of comedian Charlie Chaplin, handsome Douglas Fairbanks Sr., Rudolph Valentino and Jean Harlow. In the 1930s, audiences heard voices when "talkies" caught on after The Jazz Singer's premier in 1927. Screwball comedies including It Happened One Night thrust such stars as Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert into the limelight. Alfred Hitchcock made classic thrillers, and Frankenstein was a " chiller. Casablanca dramatized war and Dr. Strangelove spoofed it. Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn lit up the screen, and Charlton Heston found fame of biblical proportions. John Wayne saved the day, and James Bond was never shaken or stirred.

Fate of the Union From the wilderness came a nation ready to fight for freedom and survive all odds. Native Americans had lived in the continent long before European explorers and colonists arrived in the 16th century. Thirteen British colonies formed, and the Revolutionary War erupted when England tightened control, and Paul Revere warned of the oncoming British invasion . Independence and the United States of America were both declared in 1776. The new nation weathered heat from France and Mexico, but acquired new territory such as the Louisiana Purchase. After gold in California was discovered in 1849, America heard the roar of the Civil War, Reconstruction and Native American warriors such as Geronimo . Industry growth fueled prosperity until
Betsy Ross was a well-known Philadelphia seamstress. In 1776, the young widow was approached by George Washington's Continental Congress committee to sew the first official U.S. flag per their 13 stars/13 stripes design. With the speed 'of Paul Revere, she finished it off as . a July 4th accompaniment to The Declaration of Independence, which laid the foundation for the United States of America. -
World War I and the beginning of the Great Depression. Two heroines, Rosie the Riveter and First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt, emerged during World War II. Peace efforts chilled as the Cold War, Korean War and McCarthyism isolated the U.S . from Communist nations. Life prospered in the suburbs and man rocketed into space, while civil rights struggles ignited. President John F. Kennedy was struck down, as were countless soldiers in Vietnam. Then President Richard Nixon struck out after the Watergate political scandal. The Gulf War, pollution and tragedies such as the Oklahoma City bombing hit hard in recent decades. Yet Americans still rally around the Stars and Stripes.

President Abraham Lincoln called it "A House Divided ." The United States was unofficially split between the North (the Union), which sought to abolish slavery and modernize America, and the South (the Confederacy), which favored preserving slavery and an agrarian lifestyle. From 1861 to 1865, the bloody Civil War raged until General Robert E. Lee 's Confederate army surrendered to General Ulysses S. Grant's Union force . Slavery was abol ished and the Un ited States became one nation again.
The 1920s roared with prosperity until October 29, 1929, Black Tuesday, when the New York Stock Exchange crashed and millions of shares of stock were suddenly dumped, plunging many into poverty. Franklin D. Roosevelt defeated President Herbert Hoover in the 1932 election. Roosevelt worked to end the Great Depression with the New Deal. Since then, America has survived inflation, recession, tax cuts, and somehow, lunchroom food .
"I Have a Dream that my ch ildren will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character," said Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to Washington, D.C., protesters in 1963. His non-violent approach helped advance civil rights for all races . Other warriors for racial equality include anti-segregationist Rosa Parks, and Jesse Jackson, who pushed for African-American economic pow~r.
It was a simpler time called "The Good Old Days." The front porch, or stoop, was the nightly gathering place for several generations of family and friends.

Role models such as astronaut Sally Ride and Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor opened still more doors.

In the late 1800s, some newspapers took Freedom of the Press too far. To gain new readership, some of America's leading newspapers began sensationalizing accounts of Spanish oppression in Cuba to provoke America's entry into the SpanishAmerican War. After this outbreak of "yellow journalism," news media took great measures to heighten credibility, though tabloid-style reporting still exists. On the flip side, investigative reporting gained popularity in the 1970s by exposing government corruption, such as Watergate, as well as improper business practices.

Get The Message Alreadv;Âť People spoke, wrote letters and sent messengers before this millennium but communication was usually local and slow. Most Middle Ages books were religious because church leaders were among the few who could read. Monks copied books by hand and town criers were heard since they announced news . Printed books of the Renaissance allowed the masses to read the Bible and other works. By the 1600s, newspapers enabled inquiring minds to read ship schedules. Benjamin Franklin helped establish regular postal service in the 1700s and the Pony Express ran mail crosscountry in the 1800s. While steamships and locomotives sped the spread of news, it wasn't until Samuel Morse invented the telegraph in the 1840s that coded messages were transmitted rapidly. Cameras, the typewriter, telephone, phonograph and motion pictures put communications on an even faster track . Advances came in short and long waves when Guglielmo Marconi invented radio. Television was perfected, and tape recorders came into play. Since the 1960s, communication satellites relayed TV, radio and other signals across the planet. Computers and modems instantly processed data, and the Internet linked the world. Broadcast journalists, such as 20/20/5 Barbara Walters, fueled the rise of information junkies. Fiber optics, VCRs, CD-ROMs and HDTV not only furthered technology but gave adults lots of expensive new toys.
