Within the setting, State High is a stage for learning

___!!!!-

Like a Broadway play, the production of our school year took place in a colorful setting. State High provided the stage for our production, while the lush mountains and trees of the State College area formed a vibrant background. At night the set was motionless, stark and dim and wrapped in a hushed silence. But in the morning the sun illuminated it, and the arrival of students added lively sounds to it. Every corner and every room of State High was filled. Although not as free to roam within the building as in past years because of a new system of supervised study halls, students still found it to be an ideal place for learning and experiencing. LIBRARY SANCTUARY . . . Chris Windell,

At times they interacted among themselves to provide spontaneous, dynamic dialogue; at other times they stepped back from the action and merely relaxed. Although students devoted much of their free time within school to studying rather than to chatting with friends, the vivacity of the cast and the magnetism existing among its members did not fade. Individual study and contemplation were more apparent than in past years, yet students still found time to exchange lines and to share emotions.

Students were constantly expressing themselves as they made friends, participated in discussions, and performed their diverse talents. Because time in school was more structured this year, all were eager to express themselves freely when the day came to a close: to participate in a play rehearsal, to create music, to draw, to joke with friends. Although much expression shone brightest outside of school, opportunities to demonstrate personal creativity were limitless even within the school day.

Majorettes performed their routines before capacity crowds; square dance couples whirled and skipped across the floor; a Junior Miss contestant dazzled the audience with her act. By displaying their own particular talents through their chosen activities. from cheerleading to FFA to the multitude of sports and clubs available, students expressed their inner enthusiasm.

New faces and new rules transform State High As the academic year opened, it seemed as if changes had occurred in nearly every facet of school life from the administration to cafeteria food. One change that affected everyone was the introduction of a closed study hall system. Under this system. each student was assigned to a study hall room and was required to obtain a pass in order to go to the library or to the guidance office. Another major change occurred in the administration. While Mr. Rodrick took over the position of principal, Mr. Pifer and Mr. Crawshaw became assistant principals. Parking regulations also underwent a change. Students were required to pay a five dollar registration fee and to obtain parking stickers before they could park on school property. School lunches, although not replaced by gourmet feasts, did undergo a change. To obtain federal funds for school lunches, State High was required to reduce the amount of sugar. starch, and salt in lunches. As a result. foods like ice cream. chocolate milk, and potato chips disappeared from the menu, leaving despairing junk food enthusiasts with no choice but to eat the more salubrious foods served. PRESENTING THE NEW PRINCIPAL ... Mr. Rodrick hugs his favorite pumpkin, Mr. Flattop.

School days provide ''picklish" adventures From the moment I slipped on the bus step this morning and plunged headfirst into my box of carefully iced cupcakes tor a Quill and Scroll bakesale, I knew this was going to be quite an unusual day. It wasn't every day that I sprawled face first into a chocolate mess before homeroom. As I imagined, the day grew progressively worse. Arriving five minutes late to homeroom because of the disasterous cupcake accident, I was assigned twenty minutes of detention. Even with my chocolate smeared sweater, I couldn't persuade Mrs. Sipple to give me a second chance. In the morning's craziness, I'd forgotten to obtain a library pass: and as a result, I was doomed to sit and complete my algebra homework in my Room 38 study hall. Later, in art class. I knocked my carefully created clay pot onto the floor. If I had wanted an asymmetrical pot that wouldn't stand up, it would have been perfect. Lunch was almost as disillusioning as my smushed pot: overripe bananas, soggy peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, and dried up carrot sticks. Ah. well, the Federal government just doesn't understand the appetite of a growing teenager. At a time when our bodies crave high energy junk food, such as chocolate milk or barbecued potato chips, they take them off the menu. After lunch came band practice, where I learned that we were to be a relish dish in the Halloween parade and that I would have to dress up as a pickle. Still I smiled; and as the day came to a close, I went home and contemplated how to be a pickle. DRAFTING A PLAN ... Paul Lehr's dazed and

bewildered gaze shows how tedious it is to draft a plan for his shop class.

Lockers reflect personal style

ALL BUSINESS . .. Loaded down with books, junior Paul Tice mentally prepares for the tough afternoon ahead.

What item did everyone have at least one of, and see on an average of five times a day? No, not a boyfriend or girlfriend: a locker. Often overlooked because it was such a commonplace part of school life, the locker actually served many purposes besides the obvious. When friends had difficulty getting together because of hectic schedules, a locker could serve as a meeting place or drop-off point for newsy letters. A student's personal style reflected itself in his or her locker's appearance. whether it was neatly organized. randomly jumbled, or colorfully decorated. Because a locker was the only place a person could call his or her own. it offered the sense of security needed in a fast moving school day.

After-school jobs lead to broader sociat lives

1

In order to finance their extravagant lifestylesexpenses for movies, clothes, restaurant lunches, sports supplies, and gasoline-students of State High flooded the State College area job market. After applying for jobs and experiencing the ritual of intervie_ws, students often found themselves busy with jobs during after-school hours. Although working was often difficult, particularly when it clashed with homework on school nights, there was a general consensus among students that the benefits outweighed the inconveniences. When minimum wage jumped from $3. 10 to $3.35 in January of 1981, paychecks became delightfully larger. In addition to the financial aspect, student workers also found that working often provided some socializing, especially for those flipping hamburgers at McDonald's or Elby's or setting banquet tables at the Nittany Lion Inn, places where State High crowds could always be found. Along with the more common jobs, some active students found summer employment as lifeguards or swimming instructors at local pools. While many traveled away from home in the summer to work as camp counselors, others stayed in town to work full-time at HRB or Penn State. For the mechanically inclined, jobs were sometimes available at gas stations or garages, while those with culinary talents could be discovered baking bread at local bakeries. CULINARY CREATIONS . ..

Hard work and dedication paid off handsomely in an event-filled spirit week held the first week of November. It kicked off with the annual Almost Anything Goes, sponsored by the cheerleaders. Though challenged by the new teachers' team, the seniors came away with the win as in the past. Progressing into the week, school spirit was kept alive as the cheerleaders recognized various sports teams with locker decorations. On the day of the homecoming game, a pep rally was held to raise already strong school spirit. Chants and their comebacks resounded throughout the gym as the juniors and seniors battled for class supremacy. Displaying their hidden talents at cheerleading were Mr. Williams, Mr. Moyer, Mr. Pifer, and, as the enthusiastic Little Lion, Mrs. Ferner. The Homecoming game itself was close in score when it broke for halftime and the presentation of the Homecoming and Sports Kings and Queens. Though a bit of rain dampened the proceedings, the event was carried off very well. A disappointing loss of 29-26 did not hinder the post-game parade. A large turnout of floats and decorated vehicles traveled from the field to the school where a dance was held to wrap-up t he week's festivities.

''Preppie" look predominates Though many old favorites still predominated, the fashion industry managed to spread a little of its influence on student dress this year. One of the big trends which definitely caught on at State High was the "preppy" look. Monogrammed crew neck sweaters with oxford shirts or printed turtlenecks were colorfully paired with cheenos. Completing the outfit was a comfortable-looking pair of docksiders, an accent no true preppie was without. . The designer follower still found favor in the fashion world, as Calvin Klein or Gloria Vanderbilt signatures emblazoned many pockets. A noticeable absence from last year were baggy jeans as more fitted style once again regained popularity. Although the preppy look may have had some influence, guys' fashions seemed to change little. The standard Levi's jeans and cords still held out, topped with a plaid shirt, flannel, or polo-type shirt. Footwear also experienced no dramatic change; Pumas. Nikes. and Addidas remained the most widely worn, but boots of either the hiking or cowboy variety were visible. Some standout accessories highlighted the wide range of looks. French braids were definitely in; at least a few dozen girls could be seen sporting these on any given day. Also in vogue were handmade ceramic pins or barrettes in bright colors. For the guys, hats seemed to be the most noticeable accent. Popular were the mesh baseball type and the cowboy hat. Overall, students apparently took an interest in fashion trends and adapted them to fit their personalities and lifestyles. LAYERED LOOK ... John Leadley's down vest and chamois shirt exemplify the popular casual clothes worn by high school students. STATUS SYMBOL ...

Friendship flourishes at State High Friendships at State High evolved from delicate, unpredictable relationships in the traumat ic days of trudging to and from the Annex to sharing relationships of trust and dependability by the eve of graduation. Some friends were constant companions while others, seen only occasionally, highlighted our days with their peculiar habits, their stimulating conversation, and news of their latest adventures. Friends passed time together in a variety of ways. A quiet afternoon spent hiking Mount Nittany with a close friend could be followed by a fast-moving evening roller-skating at Sir Skate with the gang. Bowling was a popular group activity, as were attending sports events and devouring mounds of spaghetti and pizza at Hi-Way on halfdays. Favorite pastimes for duos included moviegoing, shopping, and simply chatting on the phone, in study hall, or at lunch. Whereas many relationships would dissolve after graduation, the genuine and special friendships would last. Every friendship, however, would contribute postively to the memory of high school years.

Those who were flamboyant enough wore their favorite costumes to school. Others who were not quite as brave secretly went trick-or-treating that night, with the darkness preventing them from being recognized in their costumes. Unfortunately, the neighbors did not take kindly to these overgrown derelicts with incurable sweet tooths. Even the band members were affected by the event, dressing up in the wildest outfits imaginable for the annual Halloween Parade. Although students at State High may have outgrown their belief in ghosts and goblins, they never outgrew their lust for a plain good 'ol time.

Recreation found in varied forms Whether it was school sponsored or self-motivated, team-oriented or individualized, inside or outdoors, an outstanding variety of sports kept students active this year. Intramural sports were big, with an impressive turnout beginning with soccer in the fall. Also highly popular were the basketball games held on weekend mornings. Saturday skiing trips retained participants from past seasons, while gaining a few more who were willing to brave the cold. For those who favored the indoors, volleyball and bowling were made available. Looking ahead to spring and warm weather, softbaH, lacrosse, and sailing and canoeing at Stone Valley were anticipated, especially by those afflicted with senioritis. Out of the school and into the State College Community, students took advantage of local facilities and joined area sports teams. On weekends, runners and racquetball players could be found doing their thing at Rec Hall. Since the school did not have its own ice hockey team, those with sharp skating skills could put them to use on the area team which played at the University Sports Complex. Another type of rink also received a lot of use from school members; Sir Skate's rollerskating rink had its own regulars who particularly enjoyed the special State High nights.

VOL.1 NO ... . 1980·81

Reagan triumphs In a stunningly decisive victory, Ronald Reagan defeated incumbent Jimmy Carter to become the nation's fortieth president. Although polls conducted prior to election week had indicated that the race was close and that the House of Representatives might have to decide the outcome, Reagan captured many previously undecided voters at the last moment. Reagan won 51 % of the popular vote and 489 electoral votes to Carter's 41 % and 49 electoral votes. Independent candidate John Anderson walked away with 7 % of the popular vote. While the continuing Iranian hostage crisis and Reagan's solid performance in the presidential debates were cited as reasons for the election's outcome, many felt that Reagan won simply because voters wanted to elect a new party in hopes of alleviating economic problems and world tensions. This was evident by the fact that many traditionally democratic groups supported Reagan- labor unions, Jews, ethnic groups, and urban dwellers. Last minute polls conducted by both camps indicated that Reagan was surging ahead. At 6:00 p.m. on election day, the President called his opponent to congratulate him. Later that evening at 9:45, even before some West Coast polls had closed, Carter conceded the race with a dignified address at Democratic headquarters. He stressed the need for an orderly transition and support for the new president. Reagan saw his election and that of many other Republicans as proof of his claim that Americans wanted their government to move in a new direction. Republicans gained control of the Senate, edging out incumbent democratic liberals. Reagan planned to capitalize on this shift in at1itude by implementing such policies as building up the. nation's military strength and remedying t he economic situation.

"We shouldn't let the impression go out that the young people are not willing to make the sacrifice to protect the national security of this country." With this statement Senator Sam Nunn joined President Carter and the Congress in passing the draft registration law. During his January, 1980 State of the Union address President Carter first proposed the law, maintaining "Registration for the draft is needed to increase our preparedness and is a further demonstration of our resolve as a nation." The President's original plan mandated that all citizens, regardless of t heir sex, would be required to register when they turn 18. However, the issue of drafting women met with stern opposition in Congress. In a school poll, students indicated that, although they oppose a peacetime draft, women should be drafted along with men.

On August 27, 1980, a meeting of Senior High staff, students, and parents took place under the leadership to Mr. Rodrick. Nearly all faculty members, 32 students of various areas and talents, and selected parents were present. Beginning at 8 a.m., those present were divided into groups, each with two to four students and two parents. After getting acquainted, the committees spent the day debating over basic school rules. Six fundamental rules were established after much deliberation, ending a long but successful day.

Thespians present "Night of January 16th"

Mt. St. Helens erupts

The October 29 Halloween parade was declared a success by all present. The State High Marching Band provided music, color, and excitement. Marching to the tune of Anchors Aweigh, the musicians sported unique costumes, One rank, dressed as the Budweiser Clydesdales, caused a sensation, while another's police uniforms fooled even real policemen. Spectators called the parade "one of the best in years."

On March 26, 1980, .the United States witnessed the first signs of a volcanic eruption. Mt. St. Helens, located one hundred miles south of Seattle, Washington, began a series of eruptions that lasted for months. The preliminary eruptions were minor in comparison to the one building inside the mountain. On May 18, 1980, Mt. St. Helens erupted with a force as powerful as that of the largest hydrogen bomb ever tested. The eruption caused a sonic boom heard two hundred miles away. Volcanic ash fell like snow in the nearby towns and cities. obscuring the sun and creating drifts three to four feet deep. Mudflows devasted the areas as 44,000 acres of trees were leveled at an estimated two hundred million dollar loss. President Carter declared the area a disaster just four days before the second major eruption on May 25. Three more eruptions which opened a crater two miles long and half a mile deep followed over the summer with two others occurring October 16, and 18. Even though the eruptions proved to be a gold mine for scientists, the people living near the mountain suffered immense personal and economic loss. As of July there were 25 people dead and 40 missing. It was still not known how long the volcano will remain active.

For the Thespians' 1980 autumn production the audience was much more than a group of idle spectators. The Night of January 16th, by Ayn Rand, a courtroom drama, called for volunteers from the audience to sit as the jury and actually decide the verdict of the trial after listening to the witne!>ses and lawyers. Scott Atkinson competently portrayed District Attorney Flint as an intelligent, resourceful lawyer intent on proving that Karen Andre, played with skill and selfassurance by Kim Williams, was guilty of murdering her former employer. Leigh Melander did ani excellent job in playing the defense attorney, poised and shrewd as she fired questions at the witnesses. The witnesses., seated in the audience and called to stand by Scott Long, the court clerk, proviided not only the testimony upon which the jury based its decision, but also diverse and colorful characterizations. Cassandra Holl charmed the audience as the unsophisticated Mrs. Hutchins, while Rick Grider's Sweeny, a discursive policeman, evoked a laughing response. Kim Pe,derson as Nancy Faulkner, the seominigly devoted wife of the deceased, and Lee Marsh, as John Whitfield. his rich father-in-law, also stood out. · Other noitables included Wendy McKenzie as thei upright, Swedish housek~eper, Ann Triolo as the gum-chewing, wise-cracking broad. and Clayton Herzog as the ruthless 9angster. Additional supporting members Marc Shapiro, Mike Lavin, David Moss. Jessica Chisholm, Melissa Chisholm and many more lent the production a profei,sional air. The jury's verdict? Not guilty and very well done.

Heart Association Benefitted

Tragedy Strikes Love Canal

About thirty students spent the afternoon of Thursday, November 20, jumping rope in the State High gym. They were participating in an activity to raise money for the American Heart Association. Divided into groups of six, the students found sponsors to pledge money for the time they jumped. During the three hours the activity lasted, members of the groups took turns jumping rope, making sure that someone was jumping at all times. Under the direction of Mr. Rockey they raised about $1,000.

Tragedy first struck Love Canal. an abandoned 19th century waterway located in Niagara Falls, New York, in 1976 when chemicals began leaking into the basements of homes. In 1947 Hooker Chemical and Plastics had bought the canal and subsequently dumped thousands of drums of chemicals into it. The corporation then sold the canal to the local government. which built a housing development and an elementary school on the site. Soon after these buildings were erected, chemicals began seeping into their basements. After the high incidence of skin and kidney problems and birth defects had been linked to the presence of potentially dangerous carcinogens in the leaking chemicals, the government stepped in. They constructed a network of trenches to prevent further spreading and began evacuating families. Of the total number of families declared eligible to move, however, only half have done so. Although Niagra Falls officials have decided that Love Canal is no longer dangerous. homeowners disagree. Studies made to collect evidence for the many lawsuits now pending on Hooker Chemical Plant have shown that one third of the residents have broken chromosomes, while many babies have birth defects. Courts must now decide who will payHooker Chemical or the public.

Polish Workers Rebel Startled by news of the Polish workers' strikes in the summer and fall of 1980, the world speculated as to its future international effects. By December it seemed imminent that the Soviet Union would be forced to the point of military intervention to save its largest satellite from labor unrest that had seriously weakened the Polish Communist Party. The U.S.S.R. reportedly alerted troops in Eastern Europe, an action that elicted a strong wave of negative reactions from the West. This Soviet action was apparently the result of growing concern that the economic frustration in Poland had grown into political discontent, and in fact, that the entire communistic system in Poland was on the brink of downfall. Leading the way for political reform was Solidarity, the national federation of Poland's new independent unions. Directed by Lech Walensa, thousands of workers went on strike to win the right to form the only independent trade union in a communist country as a means of raising their standard of living. The labor unrest and strikes have crippled Poland's economy and left its government all but powerless. Whether the union will be able to function normally within Poland's political system or whether its formation will spark a Soviet invasion in a nation traditionally hostile to intervention remains to be seen. 32•Variety

Talented actor Peter Sellers, best known for his portrayal of the bumbling Inspector Clouseau in the Pink Panther films, suffered a fatal heart attack in August 1980. Sellers, who was 54, made his mark as a master of disguises, often playing more than one role in a single movie, as he did in Dr. Strange/ave, in which he appeared as a crazed psychologist. the President of the United States. and a British Air Force officer. Other memorable Sellers films include The Fiendish Plot of Dr. Fu Manchu and Being There. Sellers' own special brand of satirical and imaginative humor will be sorely missed in the entertainment field.

Thousands Flee from Cuba By early April of 1980, unrest had begun to grow in Cuba. Several thousand Cubans, dissatisfied with the political situation and seeking refuge and safe passage from Cuba, had gathered in the Peruvian Embassy compound and were living under less-than-desirable conditions. The United States responded to the Cubans' plight by stating that it would accept its "fair share" of Cubans, but that it expected countries in Latin America to take the lead. The people of the United States responded similarly, raising money to help the oppressed Cubans. Fidel Castro, at first reluctant to let the refugeseekers leave, finally promised safe passage for them by the end of April. The U.S. promptly agreed to harbor six thousand of the refugees. This number escalated quickly, however, as boats moved back and forth between Cuba and Florida in a "freedom

flotilla" composed mostly of former Cubans now living in Miami. President Carter began to admit these refugees on emergency parole power conditionally for sixty days, during which they could file for political asylum. Meanwhile, three thousand more boats from the U. S. waited in Port Mariel, Cuba to carry additional refugees to Florida. Although the president promised that the U. S. would "provide an open heart and open arms" to the incoming refugees, it soon became evident that the steady influx of Cubans was far exceeding the number expected. By September the U.S. had absorbed 120,000 Cuban refugees. The government is now faced with the difficult task of settling and aiding these people.

Earthquake Devastates Southern Italy Like all other years, 1980 had its share of good and bad films. Ordinary People, a drama about the fragility of family relationships, won praise for it's excellent direction and cast, while Popeye, a much anticipated movie starring the old cartoon hero. was generally regarded as a disappointment. Some other memorable movies included The Elephant Man, which sensitively traced the story of a Victorian Englishman severely disfig1ured by a rare disease, and Airplane, a hilarious spoof on the Airport movies. Raging Bull, which depicted the violent rise and fall of a prize fighter, and The Big Red One, an accurate portrayal of a group of young combat soldiers in World War II, both turned out to be winners. The long-awaited sequel to the blockbuster Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back, lived up to the promise of it's predecessor and left fans dangling until the next in the series. Also successful were the touching Coal Miner's Daughter and the chilling, surrealistic Tin Drum. Less successful movies included Can't Stop the Music and Xanadu, both simple, flashy musicals. Despite it's popularity among young movie goers, The Blue Lagoon was not regarded as a film of any real substancH. /-leaven's Gate, an unbelieveably exp,~nsive Western epic, was not even released after the reviews from the first screening were published, while

Raise the Titanic was a $40 million dollar bomb. The Formula, a story about the powerful oil companies, and The Jazz Singer, in which a musician is torn between his family and his career, also received less than favorable responses.

Four Perfect Skills Four talented State High students spent five weeks last summer polishing their skills at the Pennsylvania Governor's School for the Arts. Students chosen to participate in this highly competitive program receive a one thousand dollar scholarship in addition to intensive training In photography, music, dance. art, creative writing, or theater. Senior Vera Guertler studied creative writing, while junior Catherine Graetzer received instruction in the area of music. Heidi Ruffner, a senior. worked on both silversmithing and dance. Sophomore Shawn Ranck concentrated his abilities on film-making. All experienced the fast-paced, professional training for which the school is famous.

A devastating earthquake that measured 6.8 on the Richter scale ripped through the southern Italian countryside in mid December, laying waste to scores of rural villages. After the initial shock occurred in the early evening, smaller tremors continued through the night and caused additional damage and deaths. Estimates of the number dead climbed to more than 3,000 in the week that followed the quake. As buildings collapsed, hundreds of people were buried under falling rubble. Some remained trapped for days, dying before rescue teams could reach them. Isolated villages were filled with homeless and injured people awaiting aid from the Italian government and other nations. When transportation finally did come to take them to. refuge centers, many refused to abandon their homes. Many blamed the Italian government to be the cause of unnecessary deaths because of the bureaucratic tangles that delayed aid missions. Supplies and rescue workers had to be shipped in from military installations in the north. Dissension and controversy plagued the government as relief packages from other nations were misdirected. The seriousness of the damage was still being realized by the stunned Italians.

Lennon's Death Evokes Shock and Grief the world was stunned when John Lennon was gunned down December 8, 1980, by Mark David Chapman. Lennon was dead on arrival after receiving gunshot wounds as he stood near his New York apartment building. Thousands mourned the legendary Beatie who helped shape the music world with hit songs like "Let It Be," "Yesterday," and "I Want To Hold Your Hand." To the generation that grew up in the turmoil of the 1960's, the Beatles were a symbol of the times. The most controversial of the Beatles, Lennon, was often called their leader. Fans showed their grief at Lennon's death by holding a vigil outside his Manhatten apartment. Radio stations played Beatie albums as tributes to Lennon, while record stores reported a sudden burst of interest in his music, including his latest album "Double Fantasy." Tragically, Lennon was just beginning a

new phase of his career when he died. The new album, recorded with his wife, Yoko Ono, was his first release in five years, during which he lived a quiet life raising his son Sean. The accused murderer of John Lennon, Mark David Chapman, was reportedly a fan of the Beatles and particularly of Lennon. In fact, Lennon autographed an album for Chapman just hours before the ex-Beatie was shot. Police stated that Chapman had apparently been stalking Lennon for three days before the murder. Chapman had only recently flown to New York from Hawaii. Instead of holding a funeral service for Lennon, Yoko Ono requested ten minutes of silence around the world during which to pray for him. Thousands took part in this farewell to John Lennon. There was speculation that one day the Beatles would unite. Much to the grief of his fans, Lennon's death made that impossible.

Phearles Physics Teacher Tests Newton The intrepid Mr. Partington, State High physics teacher, risked life and limb in November to illustrate Newton's first law to students. Trusting in the theory that an object at rest tends to remain at rest, Mr. Partington devised an experiment that w.ould .graphically demonstrate this point. First, he allowed himself to be placed on a bed of nails spaced closely so that his mass would be well distributed. Then he lay motionless as assistants piled a board weighted with bricks and three cinderblocks on top of him. While students and assorted teachers held their breath, an assistant smashed the cinderblocks with a sledgehammer. Because the inertia of the bricks prevented him from feeling the force of the blow and being driven into the nails, Mr. Partington was able to rise unscathed amid the enthusiastic applause of students. When pressed to comment on his daring feat, he replied, "Anyone could do it."

Voyager I Glimpses Saturn Earthbound observers caught a fascinating glimpse of Saturn and its system of rings and moons last November when the Voyager I spacecraft flew past the planet and radioed back a wealth of data. Launched in 1977 from Cape Canaveral, Voyager completed its sightseeing in our solar system with its examination of Saturn and was prepared to drift through the stars. In addition to supplementing the previously sketchy information about Saturn itself, Voyager's data revealed a number of surprises about the Saturnian system- three new moons, a nitrogen atmosphere for Titan (the largest and most Earth-like moon), and the existence of as many as a thousand rings, where only six were previously thought to exist. Seven of Saturn's 15 satellites were photographed and examined by Voyager; some turned out to be remarkably like Earth's own moon. Two newly discovered

moons were found orbiting on either side of the outermost ring. Scientists were disappointed by the thick clouds of nitrogen and hydrocarbons that blanketed the cold (-300°F) surface of Titan, dashing their hopes that the moon might harbor some primitive living organisms. Saturn's rings revealed the greatest mysteries of all. As Voyager passed beneath the plane of the rings, it snapped pictures showing as many as a thousand separate rings. Experts at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory were astounded by what appeared to be spokes existing in some regions of the rings and twisted or "braided" strands in the outer ring. The mission to Saturn thus gave earth a tantalizing look at another world, leaving scientists with more questions than answers.

Western Nations Boycott Olympics

The summer's Moscow Olympics proved to be a disappointment for both athletes and spectators. Boycotted by more than sixty nations in protest to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in December of 1979, the Games served more to showcase the Eastern Bloc's athletic teams than to provide the exciting competition for which they are famous. President Carter called for the boycott' s enactment when the Soviets did not withdraw from Afghanistan by mid February. The International Olympic Committee, under the leadership of Lord Killanin, refused to substitute a 'neutral' site tor the Olympics, arguing that the Games should not be used as a political forum. The Soviets claimed that the Western boycott and the 16-national refusal to participate in the opening ceremonies were plots "against the tradition of the Olympic movement.'' Whether the boycott' s mixed success will influence the nature of future Olympics remains to be seen. 34•Variety

Las Vegas Fire Claims 84 Lives A mid December fire in the MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas was responsible for killing 84 and injuring over 300 people. The most devastating hotel fire since 1947, the MGM blaze began when an electrical wire in the hotel's ground floor short-circuited. After smoldering for as long as an hour, the fire began to spread through the huge ground floor casinos of the hotel by 7 a.m. Although the blaze never passed the second floor, its smoke quickly filled hallways, stairwells, and elevator shafts, trapping guests in their rooms. Smoke inhalation was the main cause

of death. Guests fled their rooms only to find the halls and stairways thick with smoke. They panicked, having no warning because the flames had destroyed the fire alarm system and no smoke detectors had been installed in the rooms. Those who had not perished in the smoke crowded the windows, balconies, and roof in hopes of being rescued by ladder or helicopter. The MGM hotel fire raised a number of questions concerning the safety regulations for hotels in all states. In any case. the MGM management had to face a wave of lawsuits.

October's Road Rally proved to be a roaring success in spite of pouring rain and an abundance of traffic tickets. The Road Rally, an annual event, was held by the Key Club as a fund raising activity. Under the direction of Eric Brugel and Kyle Goss, 35 cars entered the Rally, 13 of which completed the demanding course. After paying the five dollar entry fee and recording their cars' mileage, contestants received their first set of clues and set out from the school parking lot. The object of the Rally was to complete the course with the time and mileage closest to the prescribed ones, using the clue sheet to find various checkpoints where new sets of clues were given out. At checkpoints contestants were also expected to perform certain stunts, which ranged from buying comic books in a department store to wading across Spring Creek. Variety-35

Reagan Sworn in as Fortieth President For all the Americans taking part in the January 20 Inauguration Day festivities, Ronald Reagan's swearing-in was more than just a gala ceremony- it was a celebration of American freedom when the 52 hostages were finally released from Iran. President Reagan had the honor of announcing that they had cleared Iranian airspace only about an hour after he had taken the Presidential oath. The surge of patriotism accompanying the end of the hostage crisis ennabled Reagan to start his term on the right foot. In his relatively short inauguration speech that acknowledged the cooperation of the Carter administration during the transition period, he reitereated many of his campaign statements. After emphasizing the urgency of solving the nation's economic problems, he closed with an assertion of faith in America's strength. President Reagan faced the difficult task of fulfilling his campaign promises in the four years ahead of him.

PERFORMING A.PPRENTICES .. . Jennie Leathers, left, and Anne Triolo appeared in The Importance of Being Eamest as part of The Silver Summer

Spectacular. which marked the Community Theater's 25th anniversary.

Each summer, a group of State High students spend the vacation working eight or more hours a day, seven days a week on a strictly voluntary basis. Who would give up working at a paying job and getting a tan by the pool? The answer is the apprentiC(:)S at the Boal Barn. The State College Community Theatre invited any high school-age student to gain valuable and extensive experience in theater arts and stagecraft by serving as a backstage crew member for the Boal Barn's summer season. The duties of an apprentice depended

on each individual's experience and competence. The entire group took part in the construction of sets during the afternoonanything from laying carpet backstage in order to reduce noise to climbing rafters in order to fix pulleys. The most capable of the apprentices were given responsible positions, such as assistant stage manager to oversee the production of a Boal Barn show, while all worked on a crew of some kind. The highlight of the summer for most was the apprentice show when they emerged from the darkness of backstage to the notoriety of the spotlight.

Conservative Trend Sweeps Nation

2-2-2 System Planned

To many, thE~ election of the traditionally conservative· Republican Party last November meant more than temporary dissatisfaction with the Democratic administration. It symbolized another manifestation of the co.nservative trend sweeping the nation. The new conservat iveness was reflected not only in politics but also in areas like religion, clothing, music, and general thinking trends. School prayer and "Born Again" Christiianity grew in popularity. The economic crunch forced conservativeness as fair as spending was concerned- more fuel efficient cars, wood burning stoves,. fewer Christmas presents. Even clothing and music followed the trend as preppie styles resurfaced and . disco gave way to rock. After the turbulent Sixties and the relaxed SeventiEis, the next decade may just become "The Conservative Eighties."

After much deliberation and debate, the State College School Board finally approved the switch to the 2-2-2 system in the fall of the 1980-8~ school year. This plan was originally proposed two years ago in hopes of easing the overcrowded conditions at the senior high. Paradoxically, more recently the 2-2-2 has been viewed as a more favorable alternative than the present 3-3-2 system in accommodating the pending decline in population. By fusing the two junior highs, it is believed that the quality and quantity of courses offered will be enhanced. Proponents of the 2-2-2 stressed this improvement in education, while opponents pointed to the increased cost and trouble of busing students across town. As soon as the plan was officially passed, work on the transition began. Preparation for the 81-82 school year even involved the community to some extent and carried a feeling of optimism.

Miami Riots Explode Riots reminiscent of those that took place during the long, hot summers of the 1960's exploded in black Miami ghettos last May and July. Sparked by an allwhite jury's acquittal of four white policemen accused of the murder of a black businessma·n, the violent late-May outburst left 18 dead, 400 injured, and 1200 in jail. The rioting erupted again in mid-July during a federal grand jury's investigation of the murder. Looting, burning, and shooting erupted once again, this time with no apparent provocation. Many felt that the riots were expressions of the racial tensionsin Miami and called for a re-examination of the situation.

Room 38 was never livelier than on Friday, February 13, for the premier of an afternoon of the arts. State High's first coffeehouse, called Valentine Vaudville to capture the festive mood of the day, was a success. Its purpose to highlight individual creativity and provide students with an informal occasion to catch the spotlight, the coffeehouse featured a crosssection of the arts. With Mr. Rodrick assisting, Craig Sturtz, State High's leading magician, stunned the eighty to ninety people present with his ESP demonstration. Helena Guertler added a European flair to the show, playing the bandura, a 56-string, authentic Ukrainian instrument. Shakespearean soliloquys were also recited, and dancers, musicians, and poets participated. Rita Young, who performed on the piano, said "I was surprised by the

large turnout at the coffeehouse," while Mrs. Henderson, a math teacher, added that the affair was "a good way to display talent so others could appreciate it." Behind the scenes. Catherine Graetzer, Heidi Ruffner. and Vera Guertler were the principal organizers with Mr. Joe Crawshaw as the advisor and Master of Ceremonies. Chiefly motivated by their experiences at the Pennsylvania Governor's School for the Arts, these students sought to re-create the artistic atmosphere they experienced at the Governor's School. Hoping to enable the faculty to see another side of students, outside the classroom environment, participants in the coffeehouse distributed letters inviting every teacher to come, sit back, relax, and enjoy t he coffeehouse Valentine Vaudeville.

Hostage Crisis is Finally Resolved After fourteen months of anxiety and frustration, Americans were finally able to rejoice on January 20 when the fifty-two American hostages left Iran. Taken prisoner by militant students in November of 1979, the hostages spent the long months of their captivity isolated and unaware of the aborted rescue attempt that claimed eight lives in April 1980. The hostages also knew little of the concern the country felt for their welfare. During the hostages' long imprisonment Americans marked the days, never forgetting the captives in spite of the lack of progress towards their release. Finally, as Iran's internal situation worsened because of war with Iraq and dissension within the government, the Iranians consented to letting the neutral nat ion of Algeria act as mediator in freeing the Americans. Concerned that a Reagan administration would be less patient and more difficult in negotiating, the Iranians agreed to a settlement just before the inauguration. The hostages were flown to a mil itary hospital in Wiesbaden, Germany, where they were greeted by ex-president Carter, sent by Reagan as a special envoy, and underwent medical examinations. America gave them an enthusiastic heroes' welcome, including a presidential reception and a tickertape parade. Yellow ribbons became a national symbol as the country experienced a surge of patriotism in response to the release. When the fervor at last began to subside, the ex-hostages prepared to resume thier normal lives. Repercussions of the crisis were predicted, however as the United States and other nations would be compelled to deal with similar acts of terrorism in the future.

Broadway Beatlemania Rocks State College Beatles fans were treated to an evening of nostalgia in February when the Broadway show Beatlemania was performed at Rec Hall. More than a concert, the show also featured slides synchronized with music to reflect the sights and sounds of the Beatles era. Beatlemania was a comprehensive tracing of the Beatles' career and the changes their music underwent in response to the worl°'around them. The four incredibly authentic-sounding Beatles look-alikes opened the show with ren-

ditlons of early hits like I Wanna Hold Your Hand and He/pall to the audience's enthusiastic response. As the background of slides shifted, the show moved through the turmoil and social protest that inspired Revolution and Daytripper. After the psychadelic imagery of Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, Beatlemania closed with more recent, mellow songs like Let It Be. A spontaneous three-song encore that inspired singing and dancing in the aisles followed the planned finale of the show.

Radio (~lass Prepares Amateurs for License

Lynne: A Starry Past; A Bright Future

Yugoslavia Mourns Tito's Death

Tuesday evenings at 7:30 found amateur radio enithusiasts scanning the airwaves. A College of Amateur Radio Knowledge, a class of potential radio novices, was held at the Alternative Program school. Sponsored by the Nittany Amateur Radio Club, the workshop prepared students for the Federal Communications Commission Novice test. Novice licenses were granted to those who passed the test. Mr. Bill Bemis acted as coordinator for the class, which was open to the public and included four students from the Alternative Program. A College of Amateur Radio Knowledge also featured a station set up at the Alternative School.

Junior Lynne Strauss was often found laughing and joking with her friends, a smile almost always, shining on her face. However, when she stepped on the starting line to run one of her cross country or track races, for which she had become famous throughout the East, Lynne's smile vanished and an intense, serious expression replaced it. Within months of the start of her career as a freshman Lynne broke cross country records set by former State High standout Martha White and topped off her season with a second place finish at States. That spring she amazed spectators by competing in the State mile, twomile relay, and mile-relay. As a sophomore Lynne, again second in the state, traveled with teammate Kim Long to San Diego, California, to compete in a national meet sponsored by Kinney Shoes. Amidst the palm trees of Balboa Park, Lynne topped all her previous performances by placing second among the top high school female runners of the country. Lynne's sophomore track season took her to the famed Penn Relays Carnival in Philadelphia, where she placed second in the two mile, and left her a two-time State champ at the 1500meter and 3200-meter distances. Her streak continued through her junior year, during which she earned her first cross country State Championship and defended her second place at nationals. For an athlete who had not yet reached her senior season, Lynne's future looked extremely bright.

Josip Broz Tito, undisputed ruler of Yugoslavia since World W~r II, finally succumbed to illness early last summer after months of hospitalization. Born in Croatia in 1892, Tito worked his way up through the ranks of the European communist order until he was installed as dictator of Yugoslavia in 1945. In 1948, determined to preserve a measure of independence from the Soviet Union's mandates, he stood firm as his nation was forced out of the Soviet inner circle. Until his death, Tito ruled with an iron hand over a communist system that incorporated traces of captalism.

Unsolved Murders Terrorize Atlanta While Atlanta citizens watched with a growing sense! of frustration and fear, the number of black children found ruthlessly murdered continued to climb during the winter months. Despite concentrated efforts by both tthe community and the police force to halt the killing, nineteen children had been found dead by early March. Public contributions poured in to help the city meet the costs of the extensive investigation, which utilized volunteer searchers and enforced a curfew for Atlanta's children. The special police task force was for a long time baffled by this case that offered few leads.

English Classes Attend Macbeth After reading, analyzing, and critiquing Shakespeare's Macbeth in their various English classes, many State High students were rewarded on February 17 when they attended the Penn State University Reside·nt Theatre Company's production of thc3 tragedy. In an interpretation that stressed the primitive brutality of Macbeth's 11th century Scotland, Jeffrey King starred as the ambitious Macbeth, while Susan Klein played his domineering, guilt-ridden wife. HIGH ON RUNNING ... During a long run Lynne Strauss in found totally enjoying herself.

Even though the music of 1980 was characterized by new ideas and styles like reggae rhythms, "new wave" lyrics, and a sharp decline in the popularity of disco, the bands and personalities that dominated the music scene were those that had been around for years. That's what the Rolling Stone's annual readers' and critics' polls indicated in their year-end rankings in various categories. Bruce Springsteen continued to ride the wave of popularity generated early in his career, walking away with highest honors in nearly every category. He was voted artist of the year by both the readers and critics, followed in the readers' ratings by Pink Floyd, The Clash, the Rolling Stones, and Queen. In the contest for the best band, Springsteen's backup, the E Street Band again placed ahead of the Rolling Stones, The Clash, and Pink Floyd. The River earned for Springsteen the title of best album. Pink Floyd's The Wall, The Clash's London Calling, and Pete Townshend's Empty Glass finished behind. If it had been at all possible, Springsteen would probably also have been awarded the title of best new artist. As the it was, however, The Pretenders won that, followed by Christopher Cross and Pat Benatar. Finally, in the category of best single, Hungry Heart by Springsteen was selected by readers as their favorite while Queen's Another One Bites th~ Oust and Blondie's Call Me were also winners.

cross country ~~ And the streak goes on • • • The 1980 Cross Country season marked a milestone for Coach Jackson Horners harriers: their 150th consecutive dual victory since 1965. This streak set national records for both its number and duration. A whole generation of Little Lions had passed without seeing a defeat, ·as this year's freshmen were not yet born when the streak began. Although this year's squad did not place as high in the State meet (6th) as it had earlier hoped, the season was one many teams would envy. Early in the season, the harriers won their 9th straight Chief Logan Invitational. Sandwiched in between its 11th straight District title were 3rd place showings in two of the top Stat~ meets: Conrad Wieser and Steel City.

Individually, the Lions were led by senior Nick Kello. A top runner throughout the season, Nick ran . to All-State honors by placing 15th at the P.1.A.A. Championships. Other top runners included seniors Bob Hudson and Bob Brown, juniors Steve Detuerk, Dave Sweitzer, Paul Brode, Kirk Bechdel, and sophomore Mike Doll. First year man Pat Singletary ran extremely well, as did newcomer Jeff Gannon. The JV's also had an impressive year, winning the District title and placing 2nd at the Montrose Invitational. Top JV's included Bruce Heilman, Andy Wood, Dave Mulberger, Tom Shiffer and Pat Cramsey, all of whom will return to challenge one another for varsity spots next year.

cross country Team powerhouse of Pennsylvania

That the 1980 girls' cross country team was spectacular is no exaggeration. The team not only won all seven of its dual meets with perfect or near-perfect scores, but also captured the team title at each of the four invitationals it entered. By late October the team had established itself as the powerhouse of girls' cross country running in Pennsylvania and had only to make this title "official" by winning states. The results of the October 23rd District VI meet foreshadowed the outcome of the November PIAA State Championship. Front runner Lynne Strauss, a junior, won Districts in a course record time of 17:30. Senior Kim Long, Juniors Tracy Spalvins, and Eileen Yarashus, freshman Tracy Horner, senior captain Lisa Chagnon, and junior Meredith White took the next six places to give the team a flawless victory. At States Lynne Strauss raced over the Lehigh University course

in a time of 17: 19.2 to become State Champion. The remaining six State High runners earned Allstate honors as Kim Long, Tracy Spalvins, Tracy Horner, Meredith White, Eileen Yarashus, and Lisa Chagnon finished 3rd, 4th, 6th, 17th, 18th, and 19th, respectively. With a score of 31 points, an all-time low in PIAA history, the State High team was unchallenged. Besides directing the varsity athletes to a State Championship victory, Coach Steve Gentry guided the JV runnecs through a successful season. State's JV squad swept the top places to dominate the jur:iior varsity races at the Chief Logan and State College invitationals. With stiff inter- squad compet ition, juniors Kathy Frantz and Amy McCarty emerged as strong ahernates to the varsity team. Debbie Daum remained the standout JV runner.

soccer Team tallies best season record ever Once again the State High soccer team earned the respect as the best soccer teams in the State. The 1980-81 Little Lion team recaptured the Tri-Valley League Crown for the first time since 1974, with a 17-1 record, including two victories over their arch rival, Middleburg. Capturing the District 6 title was a challenge for the powerful Little Lions. who entered the State playoffs ranked second in a State-wide soccer poll. At the playoffs the Little Lions battled back from a 1-0 deficit to defeat a highly skilled Mt. Lebanon team. 3-2. in sudden death overtime. Only one obstacle remained in State High's road to Shippensburg: the WPIAL champion Upper St. Clair. The maroon booters dropped a tough 3-1 decision and had to settle for a fine

18-2 season, ironically the best that a State High soccer team 1 has ever had. Head Coach Floyd Trunzo and assistants Brian Bialik and Brian Housle were praised for their excellence in coaching the team as were Kathy Sopper and Becky Carroll for managing ¡:the squad. Seniors Guy Amato, Rob Bruce, Bob Christina, Ray Held, Dave Langton, Jim Leslie, Andy Phillips, and John Pytel were recognized for their Tri-Valley League All-star status and as well as their co-captains Bill Fisher and Jim Leslie. Following the varsity team was the junior varsity squad. This team also had an except ional season, tallying a 12-2-2 record.

Team advances to state playoffs It may seem a paradox to call a 6-8 season a winning one, but, even though they happened to have more losses than wins, the 1980 field hockey team did have a successful season. Led by head Coach Becky Harper Trunzo and captains Mary O'Halloran and Deb Wambold, the squad miraculously earned a spot in the PIAA playoffs in Shippensburg. Mired in the throes of a 3-7 season after a loss to Middleburg, there seemed to be little left for the stickgals but to play out the season and give t he underclassmen some experience. However, District IV was rather weak and at the end of the regular season State College and Chief Logan were tied for second in the district. To determine which of the two would grab the last playoff berth, an extra winner-take-all game was played. In a dramatic fashion the Little Lady Lions came through, winning the

game, 3-2. In the first round of the PIAA playoffs, State College ran up against tough Bellwood-Antis. Again the girls prevailed 1-0. Now all that stood between the Little Lady Lions and Shippensburg was the District champ, Kishacoquilles. Almost incredibly the stickwomen vanquished the opponent that trounced them twice before with a score of 2-0. The Shippensburg tournament was almost anti-climatic, especially since the team was smothered by Quakertown, 5-0. Yet there was nothing for the members of the team to hang their heads about; indeed, their accomplishment took the form of a sports miracle. CLOSELY PURSUED . . .

High hopes plummet The football team began its season with sky-high expectations. With a bevy of returning lettermen and a pair of early wins over Bellefonte and Punxsutawney, there seemed to be no question that this was the best State High team since the days of•Matt Suhey. So what happened? A 65 is certainly nothing to sneeze at, but somehow there is a feeling that this squad, coached by Ron Pavlechko, did not accomplish all that was expected of it. State College did emerge victorious from contests against six opposing teams. In addition to Bellefonte and Punxsy, Lock Haven, Altoona, Lewistown, and DuBois went down at the hands of the Little Lions. After the win over DuBois, the Lions were flying high with a 6-2

record and were ready to upset powerful Mt. Carmel. The only problem was that Mt. Carmel came up with a 35-point second half for a 42-7 final score. This game seemed to take the wind out of the sails of the gridders. The next week they dropped a decision to Indiana. Finally, Homecoming was made a little gloomier, as the Little Lions blew a 26-14 second half lead and lost to Williamsport. Perhaps it was injuries to cocaptains Eric Brugel and Eric Fairbanks that weakened the defense and caused the last three losses. Perhaps it was something else. But in spite of their record, it would be hard to deny that this team was a truly exciting one, capable of winning or losing the game with one play.

sponsibilities in leadership. The strong defense was very successful with the help of sophomores Carolyn Withstandly and Lori Cardellino. First year coach Mrs. Cheryl Speakman emphasized cond itioning and teamwork. These were drilled and improved during afternoon and evening practices in the school gym.

Youngness of squad proves to be advantageous to unity Coach Joline Witherall's '81 Girls Gymnastics squad was the youngest in years, containing not a single senior. Yet the youngness of the team proved to be an asset in some ways, since.members of the squad tended to become closer to one another and more supportive of one another's performance. knowing that they would be competing together again the following year. After holding try-outs for the team, the gymnasts began their competitive season in December with a dual meet against Williamsport. Although they were outscored by this team, the girls combined their talents to score a victory over Bellefonte soon afterwards. After losing to district

champ Indiana in their following meet, they redoubled their intensity in practices and summoned all their creative powers and athletic grace as they performed to defeat Williamsport in a rematch against the team. The squad, under the leadership of junior co-captains Suzie Levine and Mary Paterno, boasted several skilled all-around competitiors. Leading them was experienced competitor Lisa Smith, followed by Karen Thomas and Ruby Wiley. Several others joined these girls in all-around competition during the season, while others concentrated on improving their performances in their individual specialities.

wrestling ~~~~ Grapplers sacrifice for their sport Wrestling, a sport often demanding excessive weight cutting, attracted only those athletes willing and able to sacrifice their favorite rich foods and between meal snacks. During the season most athletes were forced to give up their Dairy Queen Sundaes and fast food hamburgers to maintain their wrestling weights. The willingness of the 1980-81 wrestling squad to cut weight, combined with their hard workouts, helped to mold a successful State High squad. Under the leadership of coaches Len Rockey and John Balash, the team grew to be one of the area's best. The Little Lion attack began with junior Tony Marrara at 95 pounds. Terry Wills marred the 105-pound slot until late January when he was sidelined by appendicitis. Meanwhile, sophomores Scott Pifer and Norm Fedon

grappled at 112 and 119 pounds, respectively. Senior captain Guy Amato followed at 126 pounds. While junior Dave Webb wrestled at 132 pounds, senior Ben DeArmitt covered the 138-pound bracket. Tom Houck, a senior, was t he outstanding 145pounder. In the 155-pound class, time was split between seniors Rick Kleban and Scott Gnatt. Returning State Champ Eric Brugel wrestled at 167 pounds. The lineup finished strongly with senior Eric Fairbanks at 185 and junior Tim Scannell at heavyweight. Other Little Lions to see varsity action were sophomore Matt Brugel, junior Ken Hall, and senior Tim Shaw. Dual meet action included two impressive shutouts: 59-0 over Indiana and 51 -0 over DuBois. By contrast, the Lions experienced a heartbreaking defeat at the hands of Bald Eagle.

indoor.track Cold weather training The winter sun glistened on the white snow, practically blinding a pack of runners winding down the icy sidewalk. Invigorated by the brisk cold air, the runners quickened their pace, striding and breathing in rhythm with one another. During the winter of 1980-81, those athletes practiced daily as part of the Indoor Track program. Intent upon improving their physical conditioning, distance runners used the winter season as a transition between cross country and track, while sprinters and field competitors used it to resume training discontinued after the previous year's season. As school recessed for winter vacation in December, the boys' team and their coaches Mr. Horner and Mr. Baumbach traveled to the Bishop Laughlin meet in New York. There Eric Leslie scored second in the high jump, while the two-mile relay team

consisting of senior half-mile trio Jim Leslie, Nick Kello, and Bob Hudson, joined by junior Kirk Bechdel, also placed well. Later in the season the senior half-milers combined with junior Tom Shiffer to grab third place behind two college teams at the Buckn_ell Invitational. Coached by Mr. Gentry, the girls' team accompanied the boys to New York in December. While Tracy Spalvins and Meredith White tested out the stiff competition in the 1000-yard race, the team of Sarah Shaw, Roz Pierce, Lisa Schroeder, and Lynn ¡Bechdel combines their talents in the sprint medley. At a Penn State meet in January, the girls entered a score of athletes. At the Princeton Invitational on February 7, a distance medley team of runners Lynne Strauss, Kim Long, Tracy Spalvins, and Meredith White competed.

The girls' volleyball team boasted of twelve varsity and twelve JV players and two new coaches. While Carol Ford, an assistant coach for the Penn State women's volleyball team, directed the State High varsity squad, Lisa White, a Penn State student and captain of the university's volleyball team, coached the State High JV squad. Tearn practices were characterized by odd hours, as gym time partially depended on already-scheduled boys' and girls' basketball games. Although some volleyball workouts were held during the traditional after-

stressed drills involving skill more than exercises for pure conditioning. One of coach Ford's favorite drills, a defensive maneuver called peppering, required quickness, aggressiveness, and 'guts" as players were expected to dive repeatedly to return a series of balls spiked at them. Other demanding drills included 'sprawl suicides,' extensions, spiking, and diving. The season was to open on February 9 with a match against Tyrone and was expected to be highlighted by matches against strong teams from Bishop Gilfoyle and Huntington. Coach. Ford hoped the varsity squad led

golf Idyllic afte~rnoon golf just a idream To some other athletes, the life of a State High golfer must have seemed idyllic. Instead of panting on a track, field, or court, golfers leisurely roamed across grassy hills, occasionally resting to swing a club and, with a little luck, to watch a dimpled white ball sail through the air. Often on country club courses, the golfer was surrounded by lush foliage, picturesque ponds, and shady trees. Despite the country club setting of most courses, which, incidentally, were best appreciated by spectators, State High golfers faced challenges comparable to those encountered by other athletes. Long hours of practice in both the spring and fall seasons, the nuisance of trudging from tee to green with an assortment of clubs slung over their shoulders,

the frustration of falling victim to an innocent-looking sand trap or pondl . . . each of these challengeis developed the golfers into true ,competitive athletes. Playing for Coach Bob Sutherland's girls' squad were seniors Barb Pfischner, Nancy Brown, and Colleen Ottoson, and underclassmen Heidi Buncic, Chris Pfeifor, and Lisa Naspinsky. Meanwhile, Coach John Mutzeck directed the boys' squad headed by seniors Derek Grill, John Mlynarski, Marc Shapiro, and junior Mike Kauffman. Other playms were seniors Mike Hoy and IRick Lower and underclassmen John Szklinski, Tom Taricani, Art Hower, and Mike Thomas. For challenging spring matches the team traveled to Bellefontei, Phillipsburg, Mercersburg, and Mount Union.

Led by seniors Kevin Folk and Dwayne Hultquist, the team drilled and volleyed to developed to its full potential. Other top players included senior Tom Quinn, juniors Gary Yendol and Dong Hahn, and sophomore Buster Graham. The candidates for the varsity squad, which was eventually narrowed down to a dozen players, utilized the Penn State indoor courts during the winter to train. Sophomores and freshmen who didn't make the varsity team comprised the JV squad. Coached by Mike Shapiro, the team faced several tough oppo-

nents in its '81 season. Alderdice of Pittsburgh, Bishop Walsh of Maryland and the Mercersburg Academy were strong teams the squad encountered in regular season matches With additions to its regular season competition, the tennis team had several other challenges. Traveling to West Virginia in April, the squad played two high caliber high school teams during its two-day trip.

track Striving to re~;eat state

champ per1for·;_ :11ance The 1980-81 season brought numerous challenges for the girls' track and field team, primarily the challenge of defending their State championship title without even the barest of necessities, a track on which to practice. However, with all their athletes who scored points at the '80· State meet returning, they had a good chance of recapturing the prestigious title. Also with their flexible attitude they easily improvised their workouts without a home track. To keep a traditional meet schedule, a dual meet against Bethel Park was scheduled, as well as several night meets. The team sent individuals and relays that had met stiff qualifying times to Penn Relays and several days later competed in the Dickinson Invitational, using the following day to rest aching and weary muscles. The next challenge was CENPAC relays, followed by Districts, and finally by the long-

awaited States. t f Leading the field contingt...,n ,? 'F' ~=-e ·81 squad, coached by Ju," Gittings and Hubie White was Johanna Humpreys, State champ in the long jump. Giving the team depth were jumpers Deb Koontz, Donna Howes, Stacy Koontz, and Brooke Kennington. In the throwing events stand-outs were Deb Miller and Ann Detwiler. Competing on the running squad under Head Coach Steve Gentry were State 1600 and 3200-rneter champ Lynne Strauss and the State's fifthplace 3200-mete; runner Kim Long. Distance runners Eileen Yarashus, Kathy Frantz, Lisa Chagnon, and Tracy Horner also competed on the squad. Middle distance runners Meredith White and Tracy Spalvins, were joined by Tina Gardiner and Naomi Ottenstein. In the sprints, runners Lisa Dignazio, Sarah Shaw, Anne Lucky, and Lisa Schroeder.

Unsuccessful surfacing of track keeps athletes on the road Between the first day of practice on a cold, windy March afternoon and the culmination of the season on a scorching May day, the boys' track season was marked by hard work and friendship. The practices, which ranged from the exhausting Wednesday workouts to the more relaxed pre-meet practices, all contributed to sharpening the team's mental and physical condition. It was the team's goal to improve on last year's fourth place finish at the State competition. Although the squad had always traveled a great deal, going to meets held in Mansfield, Ohio, and Williamsburg, Virginia, this year the team was forced to hold even more of its meets away. An attempted resurfacing of the Westerly< Parkway facility left the track in such poor condition that

the team was unable to compete on it. Aiming for one of the best years in State High history, the boys' track team had several goals for the season. These included a successful defense of the district title, the recapturing of the CENPAC team title, and an improved finish at the PIAA State Meet.

The 1981 Senior Senate began the school year with great enthusiasm that proved to be contagious, spreading to many members of the senior class. Its members also possessed a store of ingenious fund-raising ideas which they were eager to put to test. The senior class demonstrated its spirit by entering a float in the Homecoming Parade and by placing first in the Almost Anything Goes competition. Along with these activities, Senate conducted candy sales, bake sales, and sold T-shirts imprinted with the name of every class member to raise money for the Senior Dinner Dance held at Mr. C's. The organization was also responsible for the annual Dance Marathon, which raised money for a local charity. The success of the organization can be attributed to the outstanding work of its officers who were Kerry Small, President; Betsy Martini, Vice-president; Diane Grothey, Secretary; and Ann Thomas, Treasurer. Advisor Mrs. Ann Frick also contributed a great deal to the effectiveness of the Senate.

SAC enable!s students and board to meet SAC, the Student Advisory Committee, served the State College School Boaird by giving the board the student opinion it deemed necessary for effective policymaking. Voting representatives from various disciplines, such as Music/Th,eatre Arts, Vo-Tech, and Academics, met along with their alternates on the second and fourth Thursday of every month to give their views. Among the areas that SAC invesitigated were the 2-2-2 system, a better public relations system, which could enablle local citizens to see the positive sid(~S of State High, and revision of the schiool's smoking policy. Advisor Hubie White and either Mr. Crawshaw or Mr. Rodrick attended all meetings to act as supervisors as well as to contribute to the dialogue of the meetings. Frequently, students or community members attended meetings and voiced their opinions on current issues. This melange of people with varied personalities and backgrounds gave SAC meeitings colorful diversity, producing the deisired effect of giving members insight to many different topics of discussion. Model Legislature had yet another successful year as it proposed original !legislation and attended numerous functions and conventions. The officers for the 1980-81 club were Susan Arbuckle, Delegation Leader; Hal Schenck, Caucus Leader: Scott Neuhard, Treasurer: and Rob Merchant, Secretary. These poliitically minded members were in grades eight through twelve, and together worke,d toward their objectives to promote awareness of state issues and social problems, to understand governmental proc(~sses through active participation, to develop leadership . skills, to communicate concerns of youth to State Representatives and Senators, and to interact with youth of varying backgrounds. Locally, the club investigated state issues and constructed bills on problems which were solvable by state legish3.tion. The debating, amending, tabling, passing, and vetoing of bills were practiced in Harrisburg at the annual Statewide convention held on April 3-5. Other important dates included the writing workshop on November 8 and the Western Pennsylvania Election Convention on January 17.

The 1980-81 Scholastic Quiz Team again tried to vye for the championship and the scholarship to the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown. Under the direction of Mrs. Linda Barton, the team met once a week to master the recall of trivia and esoteric facts. Early in the season, however, the team met with disappointment: State High's Scholastic Quiz was informed that it was not selected as one of the thirty-two teams to appear on WTAJ-TV. Captain Gene Chang expressed the unanimous vexation of the team members: "We had one of the best teams in congruity and calibre since Scholastic Quiz started to decade ago. We advanced to quarterfinals last year and were told that V'{e would be back this year. It wasn't so." Team members were Captain Gene Chang, Scott Atkinson, Judy Heicklen, and Bill Patton.

Debate Club helps to improve ~,peaking skills In its third year at State High, tine Debate Club attracted a group of stiudents who possessed the necessary qualification: sharp, critical minds and the ability to think on their feet. Under the coaching of Mrs. Dorothy Rigby, the team participated in tournaments in Pennsylvania and surrounding states. The month of October was a busy one for the debaters. After placing second in a tournament at Villanova University, the team of Alexandra Simkovich, JHff Edmunds, Scott Cox, c!nd Chris Kochanek won the Franklin and Marshall Tournament. Using the October competition to warm up their skills, the team participated in the Pennsylvania Bicentennial Debates. From this the duo of Scott Cox and Alexandra Simkovich emerged the winner aind advanced to Nationals in New York, where they earned an impressive eighth place. Members of the team learnfld the "in's" and " out's" of formal high school debating, in addition to developing their argumentive speaking skills. Because a great deal of indepth research vvas involved, they also became familiar with resources at Penn State's Pattee Liibrary.

Every other week a group of approximately ten students met to test their mathematical skills. While munching on cookies and snacks members of th(~ Math Club computed problems and polished their skills for tests offered throughout the year. With the help of advisor Mrs. Susan Heicklen, the students practiced for the Pennsylvania Math League Tests, halfhour tests given six times yearly. Their year highlighted with the MAA test, a several hour national test given on March 1O. For this each member studied intEmsely, hoping to be one of the three top scorers from State High to advance to re,gional competition at Bucknell University.

Photo Club gives technical, artistic advice Students with a strong interest in photography found a perfect outlet for their talents, the Photography Club. With Mr. Ross Partington teaching them skills and critiquing their work, they were able to learn a great deal about the technical and artistic aspects of photography. Every other weekend the club, comprised of approximately six students, met on an informal basis to photograph subjects in town. Beginning with a trip to the campus flower gardens, they practiced shooting there. They then moved on to portraits of people and studies of landscapes. Although loosely run, the Photo Club provided members with a chance to broaden the composition of their photographs and to understand the many technical processes ranging from adjusting shutter speeds to developing film in the darkroom.

Yealrbook challenges staff Working on the Little Lion yearbook staff under advisor Mary York and coeditors Naomi Ottenstein and Lisa Chagnon required more than just a flair for writing or an eye for photography of lay out design. Being on the yearbook staff required committments of time and devotion as well as the skill and patieince to persevere in creating and re-creating pages of the book-to-be. Section t?ditors and chief editors alike often teeteired on the brink of exhaustion, by the time pages finally satisfied journalistic rules and met personal standards. Although creating the yearbook was mostly work, much of the work b,ecame fun. For example, the hoagie sale, a necessary fund-raising ~vent, involve:d two weeks of taking orders and one hect ic weekend of making and delivering the sandwiches. Staff members and volli.mteer helpers Debbie Daum, Kathy Soppt?r, and Chris Windell met in a church basement and formed a meat-cheese-lettuce-¡oniontomato assembly line which produced 710 hoagies, a few laughs, and a dozen oniony-smelling people. Yearbook meetings for editors were also a conglomeration of food, fun and work. The meetings, held at e:ditors' houses, served as times for staff members to communicate with one a1nother about their sections and for the edi1tors-inchief to discuss the progress of the: book. Informal J-room meetings were hi~Jhlighted by the ant icipated delivery 61' proof sheets, blueprints of the actual book. Personal benefits could be gained through involvement with the Little Lion yearbook. Anyone who contributedfrom section editors and editors-iin-chief to typists and ads sellers- could find limitless opportunities to challengei themselves and to improve.

The club's budget underwent drastic¡ cuts and as a result the format of the paper was reduced and photographs had to be dropped. Editorials covering such topics as the benefits of being senior and the controversy over closed study halls were included. Also published were New Wave and rock music reviews, featuring the 852's and the Plasmatics. For the holidays, Christmas wishes and Valentine messages were printed. Although the nature of the publication required most of the work to be done in true journalistic style-in marathon sessions the night before printing day-the staff still managed to pull through tor each deadline.

Choraliers gets the Fogelburg vibes For those who enjoyed singing popular tunes of today and of the recent past. Choraliers provided the perfect chance. Comprised of juniors and seniors, this choir met twice a week with its director Mr. Richard Victor to sing tunes ranging from contemporary soft rock to older, well-known songs from Broadway shows. By January 31 t hese singers had rehearsed sufficiently to test their performing abilities before an audience. Sharing the stage with Sophomore Band in a Saturday evening concert, they sang Dan Fogelburg's Longer and performed a Broadway Medley including Hello Dolly, Sunrise, Sunset, and What I Did For Love. After expanding their repertoire, they performed again in May. At the start of the year, Paul Faulkner was elected as the choir's president, while Ann Thomas and Jill Rodrick were chosen to be treasurer and secretary. ENGROSSED IN THE MUSIC ...

A Cappella brings Broadway to State High The 1980-81 A Cappella Choir, under the direction of Mr. James E. Langton, worked diligently to create a superior level of music at State High. The seventy-three members met twice a week, with an optional third session available. However, the practices continued for many extra hours per week, as members san!g and studied their music in study halls, lunch periods, to and from school, and at home. With all this effort, A Cappella Choir was able to perform quite a variety of difficult music, ranging from Broadway's Chorus Line medley to the medieval Ceremony of Carols. The hard work and dedication to choral music paid off for many in different ways. For a large number, it was going to District, Regional, State, and All-Eastern festivals. But for everyone, it was performing two home concerts in the winte,r and spring and two other concerts at high schools throughout the State. CHRISTMAS CAROLLING . . .

The 1980-81 Concert Band proved to be one of the most talented in several years, performing under the direction of Richard Victor and assisted by President Keri Brown. Secretary Linda Maurer. and Treasurer Jenny Thompson. With only two scheduled rehearsals per week, the group worked hard and showed its exceptional musical talents at both the Winter and Spring Concerts. With a variation of musical selections, ranging from marches to Broadway tunes, the majority of the members found it to be both an enjoyable and rewarding experience.

Sophomore Band was made up of tenth graders who were playing together for the first time. With two days of practice a week under the direction of Mr. Richard Victor, the sophomores formed a united musical organization by the time of their first concert. The Sophomore Band gave two concerts this year, a winter concert on January 31 and a Spring Concert on May 16. At the Winter Concert some of the songs played were Parade of the Tall Ships Exaltation, and Twentiana. The band chose three officers: Kathy Naugle, President; Dessa Ackard, Secretary; and Anita Lakshminarayana, Treasurer. Many band members were chosen for the Wind Ensemble and a few played for District Band.

Marching B<:ind parades li¡ght up downtown During the 1980 football season the Marching Band entertained crowds at home and at away games by presenting six halt-time shows. The long season began with the August rehearsals under the hot summer sun and lasted until mid-November. During this time, the band performed at nine g1ames, in downtown parades on Halloweein and Homecoming night, and in an indoor concert. There was a break during the winter months, but members reconvened in the spring to prepare tor competition. This was the first year the band cons:idered entering in a field competition. The spirit of the band was comprised of dedication, pride, hard work, and e1nthusiasm. Directors were Mr. Richard Victor along with Mr. John Kovalchik. The officers tor the 1980-81 band were Doug Lechner, president; Roberta Bealer, senior representative; Rick Krider. junior representative; and Steve Fleming, drum major.

The State High majorette squad, participants in the half-time football show, consisted of ten twirlers. During the summer of '80, the girls attended a week-long camp in York, Pennsylvania, where they worked out up to ten hours a day, learning new routines and techniques. Their advisor, Mrs. Kay Wayne, accompanied the girls to this camp. Many of the routines learned there were incorporated into their half-time shows once the season got underway. The girls started practice in July to master the tricks of maneuvering the baton, and continued these throughout August, when they began practicing with the Marching Band. During the football season, the squad had practice every Monday and Wednesday night with the band to prepare tor the Friday games. The 1980-81 majorette program, by providing many experiences tor its members, enabled them to achieve their goal of performing well before the football spectators.

IN C LIMATE- CONTROLLED COMFORT . . . During an after-school practice, Debbie Thomas works for perfection.

After earning first place at the Marching Auxiliaries Flag Camp in July of 1980, the twelve-member silkline squad was in high spirits, ready to conquer the long, hot summer practices. With the help of former squad members, Lynn Slick and Bonnie Ayer, and advisor, Kaye Wayne, the girls performed over thirty different routines with features such as Th~ Sound of Music and We are Family. This year no captain was chosen. Instead, tor each show, two girls were chosen as co-captains, sharing the same authority. This year's silkline was a wonderful experience for all who participated.

Wind En~;emble entertains educators

Symphonic Wind Ensemble was an advanced musical organization that challenged the talented musician and developed his skills and techniques. The instrumentalists, consisting. of sophomore!s, juniors, and seniors, were chosen from auditions that took place in February of 1980. The nationally recognized, awardwinning Wind Ensemble held two public concerts at the high school. The special event of the year for the organization was a performance for the Pennsylvania Music Educators at the Allstate Festival in Hershey, PA, on January 8. Only one high school band was chosen from Pennsylvania to represent the state at the festival. This honor was achieved through superior ratings at previous competitions. This year's Wind EnsemblH also attended respectable competitions and performed superlatively.

Auditions were held in November, and twenty-six talented musicians were picked to participate in this organization. They me1t one night every week to practice tuneis by Count Basie, Woody Herman, and o1thers. The band played in many competitions and concerts throughout the last half of the year. With the music interest high in the Stage Band, much progress was ma,de by members in learning more about the world of jazz.

Thespians give sets & make-up magical touch

ANGELIC ACTRESS ... Melissa Santoro performs as an angel in the special Christmas production put on by the Thespians for local elementary schools. POISED LAWYER ... In the fall play, Night of January 16th, Leigh Melander plays a clever, manipulative lawyer. COURTROOM BOREDOM ... On the courtroom set for the fall play, Courtney -McKinnon and Scott Long are bored with the eveidence they have heard at every rehearsal.

The '80-' 81 Thespians undertook two projects of great magnitude. In the fall the Thespians, under the direction of adviser Mrs. Fran Jacobs, undertook the presentation of Ayn Rand's courtroom drama, Night of January 16th. Elaborate staging and make-up were required at times, as the realistic structure of the play called for the emergence of witnesses from the pudience. In addition, many of the cast members had to age half a century with the magic of make-up before appearing on stage. In the spring, the company gave its rendition of the large-scale Lerner and Lowe musical, My Fair Lady. Full Edwardian sets and costumes produced headaches for the backstage crews in charge of gathering the hundreds of items needed. The Thespians were certainly a hardworking group, as they spent hours upon hours of their time in preparation for just two performances of each show. They attempted to give the State High community some quality entertainment rivaling the level of the many other theater groups in the area.

WHO'S GUil TY? ... With Witness Cassandra Holl, Judge Mike Lavin, and Stenographer Courtney McKinnon in the background, Attorney Scott Atkinson ponders if the accused is really guilty.

Class Of 1981 Relishes Senior Privileges Members of the senior class of 1981 enjoyed an abundance of privileges. Among them was the opportunity to have one's yearbook portrait taken by a professional photographer in a leisurely studio sitting. Most took advantage of this, as these pages reveal, !~oing to a photographer over the summer months, often wearing a dressy blouse or coat and tie with a pair of ragged, faded cut-offs. Also part of being a senior was the winning of

the Almost Anything Goes fundraising contest for Multiple Sclerosis, a honor traditionally bestowed upon t he graduating class. It also involved the excitement, or sometimes apprehension, of making plans to leave home after high school, whether it be to start a job, to get married, or to attend college. Thus one could derive numerous privileges and experience much excitement from being a senior in the class of 1981.

As we. the class of 1981, complete our years of schooling and now go on and pursue our careers, it will become more evident that we will not only treasure the memories and friends we have made, but we will value the education which we have received. Our teachers. our friends. and our experiences have all contributed to our education. Our years of schooling have prepared us to face the c!,allenges ¡ and strive to achieve the goals that lie before us. Graduation is not an end. but only the beginning of more important times- our futures. - Kerry Small

Faced with the annoyance of having to constantly ask Mom or Dad for the car keys, members of the class of 1981 dreamed of the day when t hey would own their own cars. While the very sociable hoped to own spacious vans, ideai for transporting crowds of friends and handy for traveling parties. ot hers preferred to have small, sporty cars such as the MG Midget, Porsche 924. or Datsun 280ZX. For the practical-minded. the fuel-efficient VW Rabbit or Honda Civic seemed to be the obvious choice. Pick-ups. Scouts. and jeeps were the first choice of outdoorsy people who enjoyed riding on rugged, unpaved mountain roads. The more sophist icated tended to chose the Chrysler New Yorker or Lincoln Continental, preferably driven by a chaffeur, as their means of transportation.

Rushing down the halls, slippinn into class. and sliding down in the seiat to avoid attracting attention seemed to be a common experience. When this happened, it was necessary to come up with an excuse. The most popular excu1se, "I was talking to a teacher. '' worked almost every time according to seniors. Other frequent alibis, "The halls were crowded," and, "My locker was jammed," worked equally well. If the teacher was in a good mood, reasons such as, " I got lost," or "I was mugged in thei hallway," were given.

Wrestler Becomes Champion Wrestling fans were undoubtedly delighted when senior Eric Brugel won the 1980 PIAA State wrestling championship for his weight class. Wrestling had been an important part of Eric's life since he began it about seven years ago. For nine months of every year Eric was in training which included lifting, running. and biking. During the season he worked out two or three times a day. His goals consisted of competing in collegiate wrestling and winning an NCAA championship. Said Eric. "You have to enjoy whatever you do to devote this much time to it, and I really enjoy wrestling."

\Nallet Contents Paint Accurate Pictures of Seniors

Jeff Kersavage

142 • Seniors

What single item belonging to a person reveals the most about personality interests. friends and relatives. and financial status? Surely, this is the wallet. Hidden in the depths of purses. squeezed into fashionably-tight jeans pockets. even lurking in the stench and darkness of well-used gym bags, wallets of all shapes and sizes contained documents and photographs that could explain nearly anything about their owners. Seniors. with their obsession with collecting friends' portraits. their jobs, and their busy social lives. certainly possesed some of the most overflowing wallets in the school community. In fact. one who might have seemed just another face in the crowd might well have impressed

teachers and friends alike by disclosing to them the contents of that hidden yet revealing item. the wallet. Undoubtedly serving as havens for portraits of friends, seniors' wallets also boasted of a variety of less conventional knick-knacks. Although seniors carried money- anywhere from 22¢ in lucky pennies to $42.00- their individuality came through most dramatically when they spilled from their worn leather and flimsey denim wallets such tokens as books of matches from the hotels of their world travels. dried and crinkled four-leafed clovers, and a fragment of the tail of the lobster one senior ate in a fancy restaurant on her sixteenth birthday.

Tastes In Food As Bizarre As Pizza And Ice Cream It is hard to believe that seniors who carried an average of $3.81 in their wallets frequently enjoyed such exotic dishes as chocolate mousse. beef stroganoff. veal parmesan, and escargot. Most seniors, however, expressed more modest tastes in their choice of foods. French fries. Doritos, ice cream, and spaghetti were all popular. Topped with peppers and mushrooms, pizza was the favorite of most seniors. As for ice cream. vanilla and chocolate were the favorites followed by chocolate chip, peanut butter, strawberry, and cocoanut chip.

Her Travels Take Her Far

Barbara Pfischner

Andrew T. Phillips

Although Julie Stubican was born in Centre County. her travels¡ took her far from the area. Her eight trips to Europe included one to Norway in 1968 and one to Stuttgart. West Germany in 1977, as well as summer trips to nearly every European country with her family. In the summer of 1980, Julie traveled alone in Europe for the first time. She had the advantages not only of having relatives in Yugoslavia and friends she had made during her sabbaticals to offer her places to stay, but also of being fluent in Serbo Croatian. the language spoken in Yugoslavia. Perhaps most important. however. were Julie's outgoing attitude and her desire to meet and become friends with people of foreign cultures.

Laura Calls Visit Unforgettable Laura Collado. an American Field Service student from Mexico. spent this year as a senior at State High. Laura said that the AFS program gives young people excellent opportunities to learn about and experience cultural differences between their home and host countries. While Laura found Americans friendly, she complained that American food is more fattening than Mexican food. Despite this undesirable caloric difference between the food of the countries. her experiences living with an American family, adjusting to a new school and foreign life style. and making new friends made this an unforgettable year for her.

While the movies chosen by seniors as their favorites were not all Acaidemy Award winners. they certainly repn~sented a wide range of interests. Favorites varied from The Madcap Adventu.res of Mr. Toad to Blue Lagoon and Fantasia. While Heaven Can Wait was probably the most "frequent answer, Star Wal'.s appealed to many. Animal House an,d Airplane were popular because of their slapstick humor. Choices from recent movies included The Deer Hunter. the tenrifying Halloween, The Empire Strikes Back, and the exhilarating Breaking Away.

Art May Be Her Future For senior Mary O' Halloran, art has always been more than just a hobby. Interested in art for as long as she could remember. Mary, winner of the Central Pennsylvania Art Alliance Award. planned to build a career out of her talent. Although Mary's first love was drawing, she wanted to become more versatile, a necessity tor succeeding in the competitive field of advertising which she planned to enter. Hoping to become established by first working for an advertising agency. she planned eventually to freelance as an illustrator. The field, however, is difficult to enter. As Mary said, "Even though I realize how competitive the field is. I'm going to give it my best shot.''

age of ten and French horn lessons soon after. Since then. Rick played his French horn in district and regional bands and district orchestra. Being a dedicated instrumentalist, Rick devoted a great deal of time to practicing his music. He spent three to four periods a day attending band and orchestra classes, and often utilized his study halls tor additional practice time. This was usually topped with two hours of practice at home everyday. Future plans for Rick included attending a music camp at Chautauqua, New York, in the summer of 1981.

Amphibious Diver Brian Wilkinson started swimming at three, waterskiing at four, cliff diving at nine, surfing at eleven, and scuba diving at twelve. Brian recalls his first scuba diving experience in a frigid Pennsylvania quarry as ''scaring me to death." Brian maintains that scuba diving is not all fun and glory: "The sea sickness, the times when

Before entering high school, Debbie Janowsky spent one and a half years with her family in Piaseczno; Poland; a town twenty miles from Warsaw. Every four months the Janowskys traveled by train, visiting countries such as Greece. Spain, England, Italy,

Austria, and Switzerland. Although Debbie missed the United States and her friends here, she fel t that living in a foreign country was a valuable experience. For example, living in Poland, where, in rural areas horse drawn carts were commo~ forms of transportation, made Debbie realize the wealth of the United States. As for her academic education, Debbie attended a small correspondence school; there were only three teachers and fifteen students. Even in this tiny school in Piaseczno, Debbie encountered two other Stc;1te High students. Kathy Lingo, a senior, and Tammy Burk, a junior, whose parents worked for Corning Glass. also went to Debbie's school.

Saturday Morning SAT BILJes For some members of the claiss of 1982, particularly those headed toward college, their junior year was a grueling one academically. Not only was there Advanced Placement History to conquer, but numerous other math, sciencei, and language requirements as well. On several Saturday mornings, juniors also had to drag themselves sleepily from their beds to take the notorious college entrance exams, the PSATs and the SATs.

A Collegiate Clown When Kim Pedersen's friends said that Kim liked to clown around they meant it. Since her father was a member of Circus Fans of America, Kim, his circusgoing companion, became especially fond of clowns. Kim hoped that "clowning" would become more than a hobby for her. After graduat ing Kim planned to audition for the Ringling Brothers College for Clowns in Florida. Here she would learn skills from acrobatics to applying make-up. Graduating from Clown College would make Kim eligible for working as a Ringling Brothers Circus clown.

Gymnast Sets Goal A well-known gymnast, Mario Gonzalez began his gymnastics career at the age of eleven. While he lived in Puerto Rico, Mario's judo teacher not iced his flexibility and recommended that

he find a gymnastics teacher t hat could tutor him. Shortly afterwards, the coach of the national team saw Mario and his brothers. Liking what he saw, he invited the talented brot hers to try out for the pre-selection team tor the Pan American games. After coming to State College, Mario practiced twice each week day and once on Saturdays and Sundays at Nittany Gymnastics school. During the summers, Mario spent three months at Woodward Gymnastics camp. An all-around competitor on the State College gymnastic team, Mario stated his future goals in the following line: "I would like to make the U.S. National team first, then be the best gymnast in the country, and third, be the best in the world and compete in the Olympics."

Activities Pro,1ide Release Vrilve Members of the class of 1982, having reached their junior year, often found themselves involved in numerous extra-curricular activities. Overwhelmed as sophomores with the abundance of sports and clubs offered at State High, they had recovered sufficiently from the shock by their junior year to take advantage of the activities. After a long day in school, sports practices provided a muclrl needed release. Band practice also proved to be an ideal time to unwind and to relax to the sounds of flutes, clarinets, and trumpets mingling together..

However, due to a restructuring of the schools, the Class of ' 83 was the very last to make the tiresome journey between the schools.

Daum Digs Distance Debbie Daum was an active runner since seventh grade. In ninth grade, she ran cross country, indoor track, and track on the State College team. and continued to do that in tenth grade. Some of her friends got Debbie interested in running. Each week the team did long distance runs, and Debbie credited her teammates for making running a lot more enjoyable and her coach, Mr. Gentry, for his help in training the runners. Debbie said she had wanted to prove that a person can be a good athlete as well as a good student.

Rose On The Rise Rosalie Grove had been interested in airplane gliding for about six years. Her mother and her instructor. Tom Knauf. started the gliding operation in this area. She had been around gliders for a long time. so her interest in flying came naturally. Rose said "Flying is like nothing else in the world." Best conditions for enjoying this sport. Rose explained, was a day with glittering sunlight and a light accompanying breeze. However, she said one could fly glider in almost any conditions except rain, snow, or tremendous winds.

Artist In Action Encouraged by her art teacher. Mary Olivero enjoyed doing creative art projects. Mary liked the fine arts and particularly enjoyed working with oils and acrylics. In her sophomore year she experimented with printmaking in some of her art classes in school. Mary displayed her artwork at the Central Pennsylvania Arts Festival one summer and hoped to go to Governor's School to study art. When asked about her favorite style, Mary replied that it was impressionistic art.

Leif Garrett Lover Sophomore Lisa Calderwood viewed the school from a different perspective than most people, since a wheelchair was her constant companion. In an interview. Lisa said she realized that some people thought of her wheelchair as a toy or a conve-

nient mode of transportation, but she said maneuvering it was not easy at all. In fact, she said, it was very difficult to get from place to place, especially when she had to go through crowded halls. Friendly people, ramps, and elevators proved to be helpful to her. Lisa was a self-proclaimed music-lover, saying she enjoyed singing and listening to popular music. As a member of Sophomore Choir. she participated in several school concerts, and at home she loved listening to albums, particularly those of Leif Garrett. In the summer of 1980, Lisa attended a camp for the handicapped in Somerset, Pa., where she swam and did numerous other activities.

Tennis ''Globetrotter" A sophomore at State College High School, Brian Kofman t raveled as far as England and Sweden to be in tennis tournaments. Brian had been a tennis player since he was eight years old and entered his first tournament when he was ten. Throughout his tennis career, Mr. Holmes Cathrall had been his instructor. Brian practiced at the Pennsylvania State University Tennis Club and played as much tennis as he could to help his accuracy and technique.

The Music Makers Julie Lechner was one of State College High School's talented musicians. She played the piano, cello, timpani, and percussion, and sang in t he County Chorus.

Julie had played in the Tri-Country Orchestra for three years and in her sophomore year played timpani and mallets in District Orchestra. This year she hoped to go to Regional Orchestra and also attend the Penn State Music Clinic in the summer. Julie had played the piano for eight years and the timpani for two years.

She started playing the piano at the age of five and the flu te at the age of nine, performing in her church and at school concerts. Kathy played in the Stage Band and Orchestra and contributed to t he Wind Ensemble. She found it relaxing to toot her flute or "tickle the ivories" when she was tense.

By chatting over lunch and in classes, they got to know one another quickly. Before long, out-of-school parties were held at which both "Park Forest" and "Westerly" students were present. Mingling continued until, by the end of the year. the rivalry had virtually disappeared.

Fond Memories Of Boston Although he had previous experience in administration, Mr. Lewis Rodrick, State High's new principal, had qualms about accepting his new job. Mr. Rodrick said he was slightly apprehensive about coming to State High. He wondered how long it would take to earn the respect of the students and if the students would cooperate with him. Yet he hoped to make this a beneficial year for all. One of his most interesting experiences took place in a small school in New Hampshire, where he was both a teacher and a coach. This school was judged to be one of the most innovative junior highs in the country. Its program included a personal advisor for every student, teaching teams, and flexible scheduling. Mr. Rodrick was a New Englander, having grown up in Stonehame, Massachussetts. He also went to school in that area, attending graduate school in Boston, a favorite city of his. When he was not administrating he enjoyed delving into good books and, in warm weather, canoeing lazily down scenic rivers and streams.

The Champ Returns From West Point Mr. Ron Pifer, State High's new vice-principal, is an excellent example of an outstanding athlete whose life has been greatly effect by sports. As a two-time PIAA state wrestling champion, Mr. Pifer achieved wide recognition before entering college. He entered Penn State on a wrestling scholarship. During 1966 he accepted his first teaching job at State High. He taught health and physical education and coached the wrestling team. Wrestling remained a passion, and in 1976 Mr. Pifer accepted the position of head wrestling coach at West Point. He missed the area, so he returned during the summer of 1980 to accept the job of vice-principal. Even though he accepted this administrative position, his new office was covered with wrestling memories. A wrestling poster hung above his desk showing everyone who entered that wrestling was still very important to him. I

Newcomer Establishes Friendships With Students Mr. Joseph Crawshaw, the newest vice-principal, who was hired in October 1980, strived to familiarize himself with the students during the 1980-81 school year. After earning a Masters degree at Penn State, Mr. Crawshaw worked as a mathematics teacher at Curwensville High School for nine years. He became involved in many extra-curricular activities which included coaching foot ball and wrestling, being in charge of the Honor Society, and running the intramural program. Upon leaving t here, Mr. Crawshaw was proud to admit that he knew the entire student body, which consisted of nine- hundred students. Mr. Crawshaw accepted his first administrative position at State College and faced this new challenge with a cheerful attitude. He said the excellent faculty, enthusiastic students, and supportive parents combined to make this a school which he greatly enjoyed.


Administration Strives For Organization

SCHOOL BOARD MEETING .. . Seated at a table before a Monday night meeting are Mrs. Carolyn Stebbins, Mr. Duane Doty, and Mrs. Loretta Jeffreys, while standing are Mr. Fred Hoffman, Mrs. Kay Rossi, Mr. Robert Dunham, and Mr. George McMurty. Members missing are Mrs. Nancy Daniels and Mr. Richard Bunnell.

" The chief job (of this new administration) is to organize the school to operate efficiently," stated Mr. Rodrick. Steps taken toward this goal were apparent t hroughout the year. In early September before school resumed, a group of faculty, parents, and students met to devise the basic expectations for those attending State High. These expectations, which included being accountable for ¡one's actions and respecting private and public property, served as guidelines for behaviour. The new administration changed the study hall system. For the first time in years, students were assigned to rooms during their free periods and forced to do homework; however, in some cases students were allowed to talk quietly or relax by reading magazines or writing letters. These quickly became known as "closed" study halls, although the administration referred to them as '-'assigned." This change allowed tor easy location of all st udents during their free time. Teachers reacted well to this system, saying that more assignments were turned in as a result of it. These as well as other changes helped the administration begin to organize the school into a productive learning center.

Mrs. Scalise enjoyed the out-of-doors and kept fit through an assortment of activities. She played squash. cross-country skied, and ran frequently. In fact, one of her long-range goals was to run in and complete a marathon. One of her favorite activities was hiking and backpacking, which she did often. She hoped to hike over significant parts of the Appalachian Trail someday and climb every high peak of the Adirondacks. On some of these backpacking trips, Mrs. Scalise was accompanied by people from the Youth Service Bureau, where she previously had been a counselor. "Ever since I was young I knew that I wanted to work with people, and mountaineering is a good way to combine that and learning in a fun setting," said Mrs. Scalise. Mrs. Scalise participated in many different activities of widely ranging scopes. Her personable character made her a welcome addition to State High.

Personalized Environment Helps Students Adjust

Mrs. Barbara Deshong

Dr. Charles Lovicsky

The Motivational Resource Center, or MRC, was started three years ago to help students overcome discipline, attendance, and behavioral problems. Students were assigned for certain periods so that they were able to work in a controlled environment, often alone or in small groups. The teachers in charge helped the students with course work and their assignments, but their commitment was often much more extensive. The goal of the MRC was to help each student successfully complete each school year. The program often saved students from dropping out of school, although it was not one hundred percent effective. Overall, however, Dr. Lovicsky stated that the center was successful in achieving its goal. A new facet of the program was the group meetings of students and parents. Another change was one in its philosophy. When it was first set up, it was seen as a means of punishment. This last year it was more of a relaxed environment to serve students who were having difficulty adjusting to their classes. Though many people are unaware of the possibilities for help available at State High, one very valuable source was the MRC.

Something Designed For Everyone It is many people's belief that large, public high schools educate the majority while they neglect to provide individual attention. The English department worked to disprove this statement by creating classes to meet students' specific needs. Classes ranged from Area I for, the non-college bound to AP English, where college credit could be earned. In addition to this diverse curriculum, clinics were established to help individual problems. Mrs. Fran Jacobs, Mrs. Anne Scholten, and Mrs. Sandy Spanier headed the writing clinic. Students were accepted by way of teacher recommendation or by submitting their own applications. Units on capitalization, punctuation, and sentence improvement, as well as usage, were taught. Mrs. Marcia Kramer operated a reading clinic for the non-college bound student, and a power reading course was taught for the college bound student to increase reading speed and comprehension. Along with increasing individual help, the English department concentrated on giving every student at least one course designed for individual needs. In this way they hoped to expand the English skills of all the students graduating from State High.

In Burma For Thirteen Years -;;:,-

Mrs. Arlene Thompson

While most people know little about the small country of Burma located in Southeast Asia, Mrs. Jean Crider may be termed somewhat of an expert. Living t here with her husband and children, she served as a missionary for thirteen years. During this time she and her husband worked to educate the Burmese. She assisted in teaching at a farm school where the Burmese were ¡taught modern farming techniques. Mrs. Crider also worked in a Bible school where Christian ways of life were stressed, including ideas concerning the family and the home. Although most people would suspect communication to be a problem, this was not the case. The Criders spoke Kachin, one of the major languages of Burma. When asked what she had learned from this experience, Mrs: Crider answered, "I realized that t here are needs all over: the world and that just one person can help so much." She stated her greatest reward was seeing the Burmese begin to help themselves. The Criders had planned to make this their lives' work; however, in 1964 Burma became socialistic. By 1965 the government decided the people must stop depending on foreign aid, and as a result all foreigners were expelled. The .Criders then came to the U.S., where they have remained ever since.

Business Courses Touch On Everyday Needs

THE NEXT EXERCISE . . . Mrs. Upcraft pages through the typing manual during a class.

Accounting, using a computer. and business dealings are part of everyone's life. The business department recognized this and attempted to make its courses meaningful and helpful, offering a wide range of courses with a dichotomy of purposes. Many students who were taking business courses were enrolled as business majors. These were students who were preparing for vocations in the business world, including business administration, clerical work, data processing, bookkeeping, and secretarial work. Although a large percentage of the students enrolled in courses in the department were business majors, many were there simply for .personal reasons. Because the department saw this, it changed the yearlong Personal Typing course to T)(ping I, a semester course, so that more students could schedule it. There were other courses for non-business majors, including Notehand and Accounting. Most students found these skills both practical and applicable to their future plans, whether they be notetaking in a college lecture course or balancing personal checking accounts. Therefore, students with a wide range of interests and plans, from all areas of the school, were enrolled in these classes. The business department continued to serve two purposes, vocational and personal, and tried to modify its classes so that everyone's needs were served.

Home Economics: more Than Just Cooking And Sewing Nutrition Class Gives Advice On Diet ..----- Computer Room Staff - -

Mr. Don Hastings

Mrs. Sharon McCloskey

The Home Economics department continued to upgrade its courses to meet the needs of a diverse group of students, including guys and girls, all with different future plans. Because the scope of courses was so wide, students had a chance to explore many areas. Many people thought of home economics as "cooking and sewing." However, there were many courses offered aside from Foods and Clothing. For example, there were the related courses of Nutrition and Needlecraft. There were also courses concerning relationships between people, including Understanding Young Children. Independent Living, and Family Living. In the relatively new course of Nutrition. taught by Mrs. Myrna Schwartz, students examined issues in this fastgrowing field. In it they touched on basic concepts, such as the effect of nutrients on the body. After examining these. they discussed weight control through diet plans and were given an assignment to determine personal energy balance. The course also included a study of the vegetarian diet and preparation of a meatless meal. Because there were so many course offerings, students with a wide variety of interests enrolled in Home Economics classes. Some students took classes in preparation for a college major, while others took these classes to improve their communications skills. Still others enrolled in the courses just for fun.

Learning To Cope In Israel From August of 1973 to March of 1974, Mrs. Susan Heicklen lived with her family in the colorful Israeli city of Jerusalem. The city, overflowing with ruins to explore and markets to roam through, provided many fascinating experiences for her. However, living in a country where the people speak Hebrew rather than English brought a challenge tor Mrs. Heicklen. With her limited knowledge of Hebrew, simple tasks, such as deciphering the city's bus route, catching the correct buses, and marketing, became difficult. Many new problems were brought on by the start of the Yorn Kipper War in October of 1973. Precautions had to be taken by all the people of the city, such as blacking out all lights after sunset. Frequently, air raid sirens would be heard during the afternoon, and the Heicklens would quickly seek shelter in a bomb shelter underneath their apartment. During these difficult days, many men from Jerusalem went to fight at the front, leaving jobs to be filled by volunteers. Mr. Heicklen loaded bread onto trucks during the evenings, while Mrs. Heicklen worked in a trampiada, a station where soldiers stopped to receive coffee and sandwiches before continuing on to the front. Mrs. Heicklen's lifestyle was altered by the war. Yet she learned to cope and found she was still able to enjoy the fascinating experiences the city of Jerusalem had to offer.

New Burroughs Computer Widens Scope Of Learning The 1980-81 school year brought several changes to the math department. A new computer was added and a new course was designed to give students the opportunity to increase their mathematical skills. During November of 1980, the high school purchased a 1900 Burroughs computer, which was programmed in Fortran, the language used by the school's previous computer. However, the new one had eight terminals attached to it, allowing eight students, instead of one, to use the computer simultaneously. The computer was used by the students enrolled in Computer Math classes. Mr. Philip McCall, one of the Computer Math teachers, attended the Burroughs School in Philadelphia for one week to learn more about operating the new computer. The computer increased efficiency of operation for both educational and business uses. Several teachers from the department designed a new course. This class ottered students who had finished Algebra I an alternative to Geometry. It focused on mathematical concepts encountered in everyday living. While the entire curriculum was enlarged with t he creation of this course, access to one specific area of study grew with t he addition of the new computer.

A SMOOTH CUT . .. Mr. Paul Heasley demonstrates some of the carpentry skills needed in Vo-Ag.

Down To Earth With Landscape Projects The Vocational Agriculture program at State High offered an opportunity for students to learn skills needed in ?griculture-related occupations. These included farming, conservation. horticulture, and agricultural supplies. The curriculum was set up so that each student spent two periods a day in the Vo-Ag room. For ninth and tenth graders introductory exploratory units were taught, while the eleventh and twelfth graders studied plant and soil science as well as electricity and machinery. Each student also completed a project book. In order to incorporate the material learned into practical experience, a landscape project was undertaken. Students designed the landscaping and then followed through with the actual planting. Other activities included dehorning cattle; butchering chickens, sheep, and hogs; and castrating cattle and chickens. Furthermore, students attended many contests and expositions in areas, such as farm management, agricultural mechanics, forestry, and land judging. The Vo-Ag program trained students who were interested in pursuing agriculture-related careers. By ottering a wide range of activities in the many different facets of agriculture, Vo-Ag provided a solid basis for students in this field.

Industrial Arts Teaches By Experience Teacher Achieves Long-Term Goal Mr. Carl Weaver, one of State High's industrial arts teachers, had always participated in diversified activities, often in the out-of-doors. Because of his constant drive toward fitness, he finally accomplished one of his major long-term goals, running in and completing a marathon. Throughout his life, Mr. Weaver had held many jobs. He raised sheep, horses, and cows on his farm, as well as made hay. Previously he had worked in a logging camp in Colorado, at the physics department at Penn State, in the Air Force as an investigator, and for the California Pofice Department. One leisure-time activity that Mr. Weaver enjoyed was running. He tried to run about seven miles every two days during t he week and a little more on weekends. He stated, "It's a good way to eliminate stress from the job." There was one other important reason that Mr. Weaver ran. In 1950, when he was in the Air Force, he was involved in a plane crash. Because of t he injuries he incurred, Mr. Weaver was told that he would never be able to run in a marathon. After rehabilitation exercises and a lot of bicycle riding, the energetic teacher began to recover. Finally on June 21, 1980, in Duluth, Minnesota, Mr. Weaver completed a marathon, running twenty-six miles, three hundred eighty five yards.

Diverse Curriculum And New Challenges Offered '

THE GREAT DEPRESSION . . . Mr. Griffith explains to Tony Coray his latest grade.

The social studies program at State High continued to show a varied curriculum by offering courses which suited each student's interests. The thirteen teachers in the department covered a wide range of subjects which included such varied topics as Jacksonian Demoracy, the Cultural Revolution. the Law of Diminishing Returns, the Reign of Terror, the Cold War, and Becker's Labelling Theory of Deviancy. Teachers also did their best to present new experiences to their students. For example, Dr. Roland Wilkerson took some of the students in his Advanced World Cultures classes on his annual one-day trip to Washington, D.C. so that each student could spend some time touring the monuments, art galleries, and museums of the nation's capital. In another attempt to broaden students' experiences, Mr. Joe Boris took the members of his sociology classes on a tour of the Rockview prison facility. The department also provided fresh challenges for students by offering a new course, Advanced Economics. Taught by Ms. Pat Denis, Advanced Economics was a semester course offered to seniors. Using a college textbook, the course covered economic concepts and philosophers, such as Marx, Smith, and Keynes. Current issues were also examined through class discussions and panel presentations. Social studies teachers tried to fit their courses to the needs of the students, often incorporating current events and issues, such as the November Presidential election, into their class discussions.

THE PROFIT MOTIVE ... Ms. Denis struggles with an income of $100.

.k¡

An Inquisitive Writer Last summer Dr. Greg Ferro, a State High social studies teacher, decided to try his hand at writing. The article he wrote, his first to be published, was based on high school students' responses to a questionnaire. He enjoyed writing the article, though it required much of his time. The article, "The Use of Superstition, the Supernatural, and Fatalism by Secondary students in Explaining Problems in Social Studies", was based on Dr. Ferro's doctoral thesis. He had distributed a questionnaire to students at the high school that gave four possible answers to a social studies problem. Two of these answers were scientific and the other two were non-scientific. He then looked for and found a correlation between the answers selected by the students and a number of factors such as sex, income, future plans, and social class. His findings showed that students who . planned to continue their education, students who came from families with higher incomes, and females, all tended to choose the more scient ific answers. Dr. Ferro liked writing, but he preferred teaching. However, he chose to spend his summer writing the article for two reasons. First, he wanted to leave his opt ions in the educational field open, and secondly, he wanted to see if it was really good enough to publish. "A lot of time was spent getting this together," recalled Dr. Ferro. Aside from the fifteen months spent writing the thesis, another six months were needed to pare the article down to suitable size. In Dr. Ferro's opinion, the hardest job was deciding what to leave in the article. In the end Dr. Ferro felt that it was worth the time and effort and was very much looking forward to 1981, when the article was to have appeared in Education Magazine.

In addition to the painting and crafts courses previously taught, a Photographic Arts course was offered. This fundamental class covered diverse photographic areas ranging from darkroom techniques and film esthetics to videotaping and TV production. Students were taught to use Nikon, Minolta and Yashika cameras. They used the school community and fellow students as models for their photographs. Waves of these shutter bugs flooded the halls to find new and more interesting subjects to capture on film. Later they developed the negatives and prints they had taken. Lessons on improving and appreciating various photographs were also taught. Mr. Baumbach, who organized and taught the new course, felt that photography was an important medium in the world and that it had been overlooked in the school's curriculum in the past.

TRICK OR TREAT . . . Mr. Williams, Mrs. Reed, and Mrs. Rocky get into the Halloween spirit while Mr. Partington watches. TAKE THAT! . . . Bill Davies swings a sledgehammer into 120 pounds of cinder blocks that are resting on Mr. Partington.

A Science And An Art "It you can control your body and concentrate your mind and being on one surface or one place, then you have begun to understand the art of karate," explained physics teacher Mr. Ross Partington. His interest in the art began when he was in ninth grade. At that time he began taking judo lessons and continued tor a year. Last summer his interest shifted to karate. Karate stresses discipline and control. Mr. Partington said that anyone seriously considering learning karate must stretch out every day and be prepared to spend seven hours a week perfecting his or her skills. Karate interested the teacher tor a number of reasons. It kept him in shape, and it was comforting to him to know that he could defend himself it the need arose. However, what really intrigued him was the Oriental philosophy behind the art. "There is a whole halt of the world that we' re unaware of, and that's a shame, " stated Mr. Partington when he referred to the ideas involved in karate. When Mr. Partington performed his favorite experiment, lying on a bed of nails, having cinder blocks piled on his chest, and being walloped with a sledge hammer, people associated this teat with karate. The discipline and the concentration of karate were needed tor this, but Mr. Partington stressed that the experiment had nothing to do with karate. However. Mr. Partington mentioned that many physical principles are involved in karate. " It isn' magic; it's simply applying the concepts of velocity, surface area, momentum, force, and vectors," the physics teacher emphasized. "It never violates physical laws." Mr. Partington hopes that he would be able to devote one day to showing his classes karate skills. His students not only would have enjoyed this, but also would have learned about the discipline behind this ancient martial art.

The science department provided its usual variety of courses, twenty-two in all, ranging from Science C to Chemistry II. In order to offer such a variety, the ten teachers in the department were working constantly at improving their own skills. While few students realized the scope of the science courses. a class was available for a student with almost any interest. Aside from chemistry, physics, and biology, courses such as Environmental Science, Oceanography, and Astronomy were taught. This allowed students who were interested in a specific field to explore it. In an effort to help their students more, teachers also worked hard on improving their own skills and knowledge. For example, Dr. Tom Arnold attended conferences, and Mr. Brian Tormey earned his doctorate. Ms. Chris Nichols took a course at Penn State in atomic and nuclear physics, some of whose information she incorporated into her Physics II class. Besides equipping themselves with new skills in order to offer comprehensive and varied subjects to students. the teachers of the science department were among the most eccentric of State High's. On Halloween, nearly all of them taught classes in costume.

This gave Dr. Cross and Mrs. Infield the opportunity to meet daily with the 110 students involved in the work experience program. Class activities were separated into two categories. First came the discussions. These lectures focused on topics which were relative to all the students in the program. The subjects discussed included employer I employee relationships, running a successful business, getting a job, and job safety. The second part of class room activities included learning specific information about a student's chosen field of employment. In the afternoon students left the building to work with their employers.

Each student who took the driver's education course had thirty-six weeks of classroom training. During this time three units were covered. The first of these units was known as "the driver." The second subject covered was the Pennsylvania vehicle code. The last unit dealt with various traffic situations. Part two of the driver's education program was done on the range where drivers got practical training by using cars provided. Two Malibu wagons, four Chevettes and a Monza were available for the drivers. These cars were rented from Stocker Chevrolet for the nominal fee of $1. 50 per day for each car.

Language Learning Combined With Travel

TELEPHONE OPERATOR . .. From her desk in the language office Mrs. Anna Frick pauses from her busy day to take a phone call.

The language department continued to update its programs and to help students gain a br9ader education. They did this by attending conferences, planning trips, and participating in workshops. One example of this effort was Mrs. Anna Frick's trip to Mexico. For two weeks she and seven students toured the countryside of our southern neighbor. Though there was no formal learning involved, all of the people on the trip became familiar with various aspects of Mexican culture, from the spicy, flavorful foods to the marketplaces with their colorful wares. Perhaps the most exciting event for the department was a three day workshop last summer on the Dartmouth Intensive Language Model, which Mrs. Lucette O'Neill and Mr. John Mutzeck attended. It was conducted by Dr. John Rassias, who developed a unique method for learning modern languages. This new method was featured in Smithsonian Magazine, as well as on NBC. Both teachers incorporated the techniques that they learned into their classes, and Mr. Mutzeck stated, "We are trying to give modern language a new aspect, a new dimension." The whole department had a successful year, one in which they tried to put a fresh impetus on a need for a second language.

Although he stopped skiing at the outbreak of World War 11, Mr. Mutzeck resumed his hobby in 1963, developed a skiing program at State High, and made skiing a favorite pasttime for himself as well as for many students. When he first came to State High, there was no ski program. However, in 1964 Mr. Mutzeck began taking students to ski resorts in the area. Soon afterwards, with the help of Mr. John Dittmar, he set up the intramural program, first at Skimont and then at Blue Knob. In 1970 the program moved to Oregon Hill and remained there through 1981. Although it started as as a small program with only twelve students the first year, skiing grew to be one of the most popular sports at the high school, attracting close to one hundred students each weekend. Mr. Mutzeck enjoyed the out-of-doors and liked to spend his free time recreationally. "In the spring I play a fair amount of golf and coach the boys' team, but in the winter I like to ski." He never skied competitively, but he wanted to take up cross-country skiing. "I am glad so many kids can benefit from the intramural program," Mr. Mutzeck stated. " I certainly hope to keep going for a long, long time." IS THIS PG? ... "It sure is," replies Mrs. Lucette O'Neill as she shows her French students a harmless filmstrip on Albert Camus.

The four week seminar, entitled "Philosophical Aspects of Humanistic Culture," was a chance for educators from all over tne country to read, discuss, and explore the humanities. Every morning for two and a halt hours the students met and discussed the works of philosophers such as Plato, Vice, Sellers, and Habermas. There was also a lot of reading homework assigned. Of the one hundred applicants, Rick was one of thirteen selected. He stated that he applied because he needed time to read and think, but that he was very surprised that he was actually chosen. He also looked forward to spending four weeks on the Pacific Ocean. "The experience was especially valuable to me because I was being exposed to ideas away from the job that put the Alternative Program in a broader perspective and made me even more committed to its ideals," Rick felt. In summing up his summer, Rick said that it was a fantastic experience, both relaxing and stimulating, and that he hoped to get another chance someday to learn in this manner.

AP Students Concentrate Energy On Single Topic From March 9 through March 20, students at the Alternative Program experienced a new mode of learning, the interim period. Instead of regular classes, students attended two week courses to further their knowledge in one particular area of interest. The purpose of the interim was to allow students and staff to study one subject intensively in a short period of time. This was done between cycles to enable students to concentrate all their efforts on their chosen subjects. The topics offered were varied to suit many interests. They included courses on holistic health, poetry, cave mapping, computer programming, a trip to a Tofu farm, political hotspots. and visual arts. Believing that learning can be extended outside the classroom. the Alternative Program sponsored classes that took students to the mountain trails of Pennsylvania and as far away as Wall Street of New York. For a course entitled Appalachia, Margaret Benson taught about local mountain ranges and their rich history; she then took the group on a trip on the Appalachian trail. Meanwhile, students interested in the stock market traveled to Wall Street. The Alternative Program is always searching for methods of learning and sharing knowledge. With the newly developed interim program and its out-of-class learning, it discovered more ways to achieve these goals.

Careful Detection Of Learning Disabilities

TAKING A BREATHER ... During her lunch break Mrs. Kolich unwinds in her office by reading.

Do you confuse right and left? Do you have trouble with organization? Do you learn more quickly from a lecturer than by reading from a textbook? If you answered any of these questions positively, you may have uncovered one of your learning disabilities. Everyone has them to a certain extent. They include difficulties in organization and in learning through a particular medium. Most students adequately cope with these slight weaknesses. However, some students become greatly hindered because of these shortcomings. During the 1980-81 year for each student having difficulties an IEP (Individual Education Program) was designed to meet his needs. Courses were chosen to help strengthen weak areas. Mrs. Eileen Kolich taught these courses and also helped her students during their study halls. With this help learning disabled students were able to work at their own pace and learn like the others attending State High.

Musicians hit high note Smiles of satisfaction beamed from the faces of many State High musicians as they followed State High's tradition of attaining superiority in music festivals. Top representatives from orchestra, band, and chorus advanced from Districts to Regionals to States and finally to All-l;asterns. Although the musicians worked hard, rehearsing ten hours a day, they enjoyed themselves and still found time for parties and dances held at the competitions. Ten students this year advanced to State Orchestra, Band, and Chorus held in Hershey, PA. Accompanied by the State High Symphonic Wind Ensemble, which was chosen as the State Band by the Pennsylvania Music Educators' Association, the ten students practiced for three days and gave their

concerts on January 10, 1981, in the Milton Hershey Auditorium. For every high school musician, the participation in the All-Eastern Music Festival was the culmination of years of dedicated practice and intense competition. This year, Gene Chang, Eric Freed, Leslie Davis, Ingrid Muan, and Mike Lavin were chosen as among the best qualified musicians from thirteen . Northeastern states and attended the acme of musical honors, the All-Eastern Orchestra, Band, and Chorus, in Monticello, NY. For four days and three nights, the five stayed at Kutsher's Country Club, and on April 1, 1981, they performed in the Imperial Room of the Concord Hotel in nearby Kiamesha Lake, NY. The performance highlighted their high school music careers.

Musicians and vocalists travel to test talents State High was well-represented at District Orchestra, sending twenty-four students to the competition held at Altoona High School February 4-7. On the night of their arrival they auditioned their musical pieces, and the next morning sixteen were announced as qualifiers for Regional Orchestra; however, due to a quota imposed by the District, only twelve were selected to advance. At a concert held at the close of the convention, the instrumentalists played the Finale of Tchaikovsky's Fifth Symphony. Of the twenty-four students who participated in Dictrict Band at Chief Lo-

gan High School in Lewistown, Pa., on January 21 -24, thirteen received first chairs. Eighteen advanced to Regional Band held in Berlin, Pa., while several juniors received eligibility for state competition in 1982. District Chorus was held at Bellefonte High School February 18-2 1. Here individual talent was rewarded as fifteen members advanced to regional level competition. Singers Mike Lavin and Marina Persic were honored as fea tured soloists at the concert held in Bellefonte, while Charlie Suhr was chosen as one of two accompanists.

Junior Miss talks about career and goals I was born in Pittsburgh, PA on August 14, 1963, and my family moved to State College when I was seven. I heard of the Junior Miss Pageant from an older friend when I was eight and decided that I would enter when rwas old enough. After winning the Centre County title, I went to Reading, PA from November 23 to 30, 1980, for the state pageant. The 28th and 29th were the judging days. Five judges scored the contestants fifty percent on the interview and scholastic achievement and the other fifty percent on stage performance. We also modeled our original dress designs for Simplicity Patterns Company, a national sponsor of the Junior Miss Pageant. I couldn't believe it when they announced that my dress had won. For winning I received a $100 scholarship and numerous Simplicity patterns and sewing books. It was a tremendous experience. Junior Miss was an excellent opportunity to further my education. My interest in mathematics, genetics, physiological reconstruction, and human welfare led me to choose medicine as a career. I have observed a growing neea for professionals in health service. My desire is to use my scholarship earnings for the advancement and benefit of human welfare.

A. P. unifies In November 1972, Dr. Robert Campbell presented the possibility of an alternative secondary school to the State College Area School Board. After receiving a $15,000 grant from the Pennsylvania Department of Education, the School Board appointed a committee of students, staff, and community members to determine the public, educational, and social benefits of an alternative program. The committee discovered that there was considerable support and recommended the establishment of an alternative program for the 1974-1975 school year. The College Heights School was chosen as the location for the Alternative Program. For six years, the Alternative Program has provided students, grades nine to twelve, the benefits of personalized curricula. Each student is encouraged to explore his goal by taking courses at Penn State, undertaking career internships, creating learning contracts, or by performing community services. Unity prevailed among the faculty members and the one hundred fifty students due to the use of first names. Some students who returned to the high school said that "the AP wasn't for them" while those who stayed expressed, " I love it here!" Equipped for a hike ...

Every Sunday and Thursday from 4 to 6 PM, one could tune the radio to 91 FM to hear Mary Cooper, a senior at the Alternative Program. Interested in public relations since she taught Poodle grooming at age six on WPSX for the SPCA, Mary has furthered her interest by having volunteered as a cashier at Centre Community Hospital, as an instructor in pre-school children fitness at YMCA, and as a receptionist at Volunteer Action Center. Mary enjoyed the personalized instruction at the Alternative Program and felt that since the teachers cared about each student, the student gained both a valuable education and a friend.

Quo tables

Linda Klevans always realized the immense social and academic freedom the Alternative Program offered. She commented that everyone was free of group distinctions and that friendship was mutual. Linda took courses at the high school, AP, and Penn State; and when she found no course in French history and culture, she created a twenty-week course under independent contract. When Linda spent seven weeks of last summer in France, she found her course most useful. Linda studied art history and cinema at the Vavin school in Paris for one month as a member of Der France study group and lived in Brittany with a French family for the remaining two weeks.

"I love it. I just enjoy the atmosphere here. You know you're an equal in the student body, and you're not alienated by it." -Ellen Stickel!

Modified day aids active seniors I

The Modified School Day program was a unique way for seniors to spend their last year in high school. Students submitted application for the program at the end of their junior year and of these thirty students were chosen. The students had the opportunity to pursue their career goals and interests in a variety of activities through their Modified School Day schedules. Taking all their class work in the high school either in the morning or the afternoon, they had half the day free to pursue their goals. Enrolling in classes at Penn State proved to be the most popular. However, others used their time quite differently. Eric Brugel directed his time towards wrestling, while Drew Garban did automotive repair work at Storches, and Jenny Fleck volunteered at Centre Community Hospital and Parkwest Manor. The students met individually with their advisor, Miss Sherry Farrall, and also in group meetings to relate their activities to one another. The usual reaction to their activities was positive, and all students expressed satisfaction in having schedules enabling them to pursue their goals. The unanimous opinion of the participating seniors was that they had made the correct choice in having joined the program rather than having an "unmodified year."

Sue Clouser "Vo-Tech is better than State High, but it's misrepresented. People in the community and school should be made more aware of it.'' Allen Conrad "It's a great learning experience. It's for the students who want to attend." Kerry Morrison

Practical occupational experience I

The 1980-1981 school year marked record enrollment for the Cooperative Wo~k Experience Program under the guidance of Mrs. Constance Infield and Dr. Donald Cross. One hundred and twenty seniors and juniors enrolled in the program to depart from the normal curriculum. Each student spent one period of the day in the Work Experience class studying business. income tax. and money management and at least two periods working in the community. Forty percent of the students' grades were determined from their employers' evaluations and sixty percent from their class performance. Most of the students joined the program for t~e experience of working at a full time job and for achieving personal responsibility, while others said that they joined because it was a relaxing and practical method of receiving three credits. The students' preferences dictated their choice of employment, such as factory worker. cashier, typist. librarian, or waitress. Many of the students felt that their employers were very satisfied with their performance. Earnings were earmarked for the future, for buying a car, or for renting an apartment.

Present becomes future Senior Karen Gibson spent her afternoons from 1:30 to 5:00 every Monday through Friday at Williams Insurance Agency. "I talked to my friend" she said, "who was in Work Experience last year, and I decided that it would be a constructive way of getting three credits. After starting work there my employers were very pleased with my performance and asked me to stay on, so I hadn't given college or business school much thought. I really enjoyed my job and was really glad that there was Work Experience to build a solid future for me." TYPING CONTRACTS ... At work Karen Gibson types an insurance contract with speed and accuracy.

SPRING DAFFODILS ... As spring weather comes to State College, daffodils shoot up in wooded areas of town. DIVERSION FROM HOMEWORK . . . As Eileen Kiely works alone, juniors Jon White and Heidi Dittmar are reminded of something humorous as they work together on an assignment in a cafeteria study hall.

Warmth at State High leads to a freer day Spring came at last to State College. It was long-awaited after the bitter cold winter of '80-' 81 with its record low temperatures and scarce snow that but lightly powdered town streets and country fields. Until spring weather arrived, warmth was generated at State High as students brought their school production alive with their activity. This warmth was also extended to the relationship between students and faculty, leading to a deepening of trust. With t his trust established, students were allowed to explore the school set more freely. As the year progressed, they were given the chance to eat lunch in the quiet of the front lobby, an innovation to lunchtime at State High. WSCH. the school radio station, also moved into the lobby to enliven lunchtime rap sessions and after-school "hanging out."

PENSIVE PROFILE . .. During a Senior Senate meeting in the fall, member Lisa Herendeen ponders personal prospects for the Senior Dinner Dance being discussed. SMUG MANAGER . . . Girls' Cross Country Manager Scott Atkinson is satisfied with the team score he has just tallied at a home dual meet.


MUSICAL NOTES ... At a Sophomores Band rehearsal clarinet players Sarah Shaw, Ruth Riniger, and Karen Berg play the music before them.

WINDOW SEAT . . . Unaware a lunchroom attendant is behind them, Bruce Heilman, Andy Zimmerman, and Marc Feaster discuss mischievous plans from their window seat while Mike Dailey, Carol Slagle and Cori Fagan are preoccupied in the foreground. '(\

Socializing flourishes despite change in system Whether or not the 1980-81 school year required more studying and allowed for less socializing of State High student than in previous years was hard to determine. Although closed study halls remained in existence throughout the year, friends still found it possible to exchange details concerning their weekend activities and romantic interests as t hey glanced through their books. Out-of-school entertainment made up for any lack of socializing time within school, as students gathered together for parties on weekends, as they performed their favorite sports together, or as they met in the hullabaloo at Roy Rogers after a home basketball game.

SPARKLING SEQUINS .. . During a half-time show, Nancy Ghaner strikes a quick pose before twirling her baton high in the air.

Creativity, energy channeled into school activities An immeasurable amount of creativity and energy was charged among students and directed toward their favorite activities. The creativity of Thespian actors and the artistic design of their set crew combined in the spring production of My Fair Lady. Band and orchestra members earned their spot on stage as they advanced as far as regio'nal competition. Vo-Tech students also became active in competition, participating in the contests of the Vocational Industrial Club of America. The list of achievers went on and on, as athletes, artists, and politicians all made use of¡ their talents.

This yearbook began over a brainstorming session at a luncheon at Toftrees in the summer of '80, where ideas for the Broadway theme flew out faster than they could be written down. Then, page by page, the yearbook grew from a few flimsy pages until eventually, in mid-March, it became a complete, chubby, full-size book. Mrs. Mary York, our advisor, must be thanked a thousand times for her innovative ideas, her Sunday night editing, and her warm friendship. Jostens artist Kris Keller can hardly be thanked enough for the many hours of time she spent meeting with us, providing creative suggestions, and designing artistic layouts. Karen Nichols, our Jostens consultant, managed to smooth out every minor crisis that popped up. The help of Jostens' John Mitchell, who made numerous trips into State College from Altoona, as well as Chuck Kullman. was also invaluable.

A special thanks also to Bill Coleman, for his photographs of faculty members and wild, zany student groups, and to Mrs. Charlotte de Lossovoy, who jumped in as substitute advisor in February after learning the tricks of yearbook overnight. Between laying out pages and typing articles we experienced a lot as a staff. From our sunrise beakfast at Elby's to our Saturday morning Hoagie session we managed to see one another quite frequently. In October we traveled to New York, boosting the sales of Bloomingdales and providing Barnum's Jim Dale with a fan club. ¡ Throughout the year we bumped into one another in the J-room and speculated together over the mysterious identity of the "Mad Lover." Although Johnny Carson usually beat us to bed around deadline time, our late sessions were supplemented by radio music and munchies. We all worked as a team to meet the dead-
