The indlvldual Survives For years readers of George Orwell's dark prediction, 1984, have been horrified by the total suppression of individuals by inescapable technology. In his fiction, huge "Big Brother" posters peered down from buildings everywhere; man was ever reminded of the government, INGSOC, which watched his every move. Telescreen monitors saw everything. Winston, the main character, became accustomed to keeping his back to the telescreen, because it could not be turned off. The slightest flinch made one suspect to the merciless torture of the Thought Police, who eventually could make one say and sincerely believe that 2 + 2=5. Room 101, the scene of the torture, became a place of indefinable horror. Yet, many critics pointed out that the technological advances presented by Orwell are comparable if not surpassed by modern technology. The ruling party saw the children as crucial to their technological control. As children of the world, State High students viewed a much brighter future than that portrayed in Orwell's novel. Technology opened new fields for us and gave us games to test our minds, while at the same time we enjoyed the freedom of individuality and freedom of thought, which Orwell's protagonist, Winston, could only faintly remember in dreams of his youth before the era of 1984.

Summer Relieves All In summer time the living is easy A favorite season of the year, summer, brought back special memories for State High students and teachers. A time of work, a time of play, a time of traveling, and a time for basking in the sun fascinated us all. Students spent their vacation days learning, but knowledge was not gained in the classroom. Instead, working in the "real world" prevailed, in such locations as fast-food restaurants, pools, campus cafeterias, gas stations, grocery stores, and even the esteemed HRS-Singer. For the unemployed, local activities occupied the seemingly endless days of summer. The University, Welch, Science Park, and Park Forest pools were hotspots for cooling down. In the first week of July, the Arts Festival enticed nearly every State College resident and tourist. August featured the Grange Fair, which proved to be a highlight for those who enjoy agriculture and fun. The sunny days of summer indeed brought a welcome break from the monotony of regulated school life, but alas, all good things must come to an end.

Punk, yet sophisticated, Ann Johnson reflects on a tiresome day. On his favorite day Keith Detwiler exhibits. his pride for this country's uniform.

Council facilitates student participation For a change of pace as well as a kick-off for homecoming, October 10-14 was declared Spirit Week at State High. The Student Council spent hours planning spirit-generating activities that would entice all students to participate. Monday blossomed newly-made punkers who were seen in anything from fishnet stockings to whips and chains. Temporary die topped off the day, emphasizing an already colorful and diverse student body. Tuesday dawned on long dresses, tuxedos, and tails. Formal Day's incredible success, probably owing to its long-forgotten ideology, could have caused State High to be mistaken for a concert hall. Olive drab trappings dominated the scene on Wednesday, Mash Day. However, those infamous, bathrobed Hawkeye impersonators also dotted the halls. Not surprisingly, Thursday best radiated student pride. Maroon and Grey Day, which ended with the annual pep rally featuring the varsity and Powder Puff cheerleaders and the pep band, further unleashed the shining school spirit that infiltrated all aspects of the 1984 Homecoming. Making their debut, junior cheerleaders Todd Irvin and John DeFlory merit instant applause.

Hamecaming Arrives Student effort merits a celebration Excitement reigned and pride abounded as Spirit Week came to a close and initiated the true Homecoming celebration. A Student Council-sponsored dance, the most successful in years, began the festivities on Thursday evening. A welcomed teachers' workshop on Friday freed student float committees for last minute adjustments. Football players, on the other hand, had a chance to rest their bodies and psyche their minds for the big game. Proving to be a great advantage, the extr.a time guaranteed spectacular floats and a wondrous victory over Lewistown. During half-time festivities, the marching band performed a special show, as Homecoming Queen Lori ¡ Fisher, escorted by Darryl Washington, received her crown. The court included Jill Fenton escorted by Eric Nicholson, Lisa Kline escorted by Brian Orndorf, Kathi Triebold escorted by Chris Zucco, and Sally Zimmerman escorted by Keith Detwiler. The Homecoming game was a smashing victory for all. Float committees left the stadium walking proudly with a sense of accomplishment. Football players returned home to watch their 16-0 shut-out on T.V. Thus all State High fans exuberantly added yet another victory to their lengthy list.

Dancing the night away Is considered an ideal weekend pastime by Betsy Jeffreys, Todd Williams. Rodney Zamrik, Holly Nichols, and Jill Fenton. Twisting and turning, John Hayes and Keith Detwiler jam with some new doncesteps. Impersonating Zl Topp, Dave Peacock, Don Ferrell, and Brion Cook slide down onto the floor.

Good times and sore feet emerge from the minglers at the dance.

Pawder Puff Excels The sexes switch roles at annual event The regular football crowd filled the stadium; the typical playing field was ablaze with lights; tickets were collected in standard fashion; the Little Lion was abound; even the pep band was, as always, present for the occasion. What made this Saturday night game so distinctive? The answer unfurled when the teams and the cheerleaders streamed across the field. The players were girls ... and the cheerleaders were boys! The annual Powder Puff was in full swing.

':;

Commencing the action, senior Nancy Sichler pelted a poss to Solly Zimmerman, who scored the first touchdown, which was followed by Debbie Bryan's two point conversion. However, the determined juniors, refusing to be easily conquered, fought back and scored two touchdowns by Mari Worland and Denise Deivert. Nevertheless, the senior victory was clinched when Nancy Sichler blitzed sixty-four yards for a touchdown. Pat Doty succeeded the triumphant play with a poss interception. The game terminated with a score of 16 to 12. Not only did the football players provide for entertainment, but the winsome cheerleaders also did their part. Whereas the seniors made their grand entrance by popping out of a cake, the juniors set a trend w ith their uniforms, complete with pink spankies. The rival ¡ squads highlighted the halftime show with a leapfrog contest; and, even though the seniors secured the coveted Powder Puff victory, the game proved a memorable escapade for all involved.

From the tine of scrimmage on intense anticipation of the forthcoming play fills the air. Whlle preparing to throw a pass, Nancy Sichler displays sheer agility. As things are looklng better for the seniors. Betsy McCarty's and Sue Andersen's faces light up.

Di4mpics Change 'Everything goes at Anything Goes' Roman pillars rose powerfully on one end of the auditorium where, upon a throne, a laureled Caesar had presided over his champions. The glittering Christmas lights and bright balloons of the winning decorations by the sophomore class decked another wall. And in the arena, a noisy, rollicking atmosphere had frolocked, the cheers of a hundred challenging voices. "It was a great evening of fun and competition between all the classes and faculty-everyone had a good time and the cheerleaders raised money for charity," commented Mrs. Brame about the Almost Anything Goes night at the Senior High. "All the people who had participated and watched the games agreed as they recalled the way they had screamed, shouted, yelled, and jumped up and down during the wacky competition," said Ayumi Ohmoto. The events were those that are not listed on any conventional sports program, as they are bore such names as the Tug of War, Back to Back Jello Slurp, the Licorice and Pudding Race, the Shoe Race, and the Tennis Ball. The juniors won the evening with a show of strength and speed in the jello, obstacle, and tennis ball competitions. The seniors carried the Licorice and Pudding Race, while the faculty, refusing to be outdone, showed thier muscle in the Tug of War. The overall winners were the juniors with the seniors in second and the faculty in third.

Cheering Is not easy when the seniors are losing as toga-clod Andrea Hussey and Sue Morinokos discover. With a steady hand, senior Karin Clarke spoon feeds Eric Hall in the pudding race. The Long Haul. Juniors, Brad Mason, Mory

Stress Sizzles Pressure at State High Charged Students

Up While Their Outlets Cooled Them Down It lurked in chemistry books. It bred on the soccer field. It stalked students in the halls and in the homes. It preyed upon all. What was this menacing monster from which·there was no escape? Pressure. Pressure, both academic and athletic, permeated students' lives at State High. Pressure to perform, conform, and make heavy decisions rested on their shoulders. When deciding what to do Friday night was sometimes as diffi~ult as deciding what to do after graduation, the inability to find perfect answers led to a great deal of inner confusion and stress. Pressure also came from others' expectations. Students were constantly pressured to measure up to someone's ideal - a parent's, a coach's, a teacher's, a friend's. Fear of failure and rejection created much stress for students.

An anxiety attack strikes Junior Robin Sheperd. who suffers from student stress. A Walkman's music was a relaxing outlet Tom Kenning ton finds. e ven though pressure was a subject for many popular songs by artists such as Billy Joel and David Bowie.

22•Stress and Outle ts

I

During tests, interviews, auditions or discussions, students felt the pressure of being judged. This pressure, many times, would manifest itself in negative ways. Students unable to deal with stress often experienced sudden changes in behavior. While some students withdrew from their friends, others with feelings of inadequacy, punished themselve~ through eating and sleeping disorders like anorexia nervosa and Insomnia. Not all stress was negative, of course. Most students encountered a necessary amount of positive pressure. Anxiety over a major exam or a crucial match often gave students the incentive to study or train well. Stress was a hard-to-handle element of life for some. One of the favorite outlets was vigorous physical activity. Exercise helped to blow-off steam from the pressure-cooker world. Other students preferred quiet, creative activities for relaxation. The writers in the school released stress and anxiety with the pen, while musicians played pressure away. "Art allows me to express myself . . . It helps me let my inner feelings out," one student explained.


Struggling with grueling school work, Beth Crowley realizes the pressure to achieve academically. Close friends were excellent outlets for students like Paige Kennington and Jenny Wienken, who find sharing problems with someone else relieves pressure. Physlcal Education was an Ideal outlet for many students, a break in the day to release energy and frustratio~.

Necessary demands from coaches like field hockey Coach Becky Trunzo often made sports, usually a terrific tensionreliever, a high-stress situation for their athletes. Intensely studying his text, John Kenney lets the stress created by an important exam get him down,

December 1983 remembered for its catastrophic weather December of 1983 will be remembered with incredulity, but not because of a catastrophic political event or an amazing scientific breakthrough or even a great achievement in the sports arena. December made its mark on American history with the coldest recorded temperatures in years. On the first official day of winter, seventy cities reported record-breaking temperatures, one of the lowest being -55°F in Wisdom, Montana. An arctic cold front swept across the U.S. damaging the citrus fruit crop in Florida and freezing the Great Plains and the Midwest. In some places the wind chill factor was as severe as -85 °F The cold took its toll in many ways: frozen pipes, cancellations, traffic accidents, and deaths. The bitter cold of December claimed approximately 140 lives, nationwide.

. . ........

$60,000 of damage resulted from pipe breakage over winter break at PSU.

Environmental nightmare, corporate dream, public confusion-James Watt, Secretary of the Reagan Administration, possessed the qualities which invoked these labels. In a rare show of his controversial sense of humor, Watt joked about a government study commission composed of "a black, a woman, two Jews and a cripple." One has to wonder, where does he get his material? He also tried to prohibit the Beach Boys from performing at a White House July 4th celebration. James Watt, a die-hard conservative who once pronounced that the electorate was composed of "liberals and Americans," steered away from concern for environmental preservation, instead advocated the use of the government's land holdings for commercial businesses. Many of the government rules on strip mining were rewritten, the acquisition of new land to the government was halted, huge amounts of federal land were leased to coal-mining companies and Watt spoke about leasing "a billion acres" of the government's offshore waters to oil companies. To avoid facing increasing pressure from the Senate, Watt announced his resignation in October, whereby he was swiftly replaced, in a surprise move, by National Security Adviser .William Clark . Many sighs of relief were heard around the country, however, with this replacement.

At 6:26 a.m. on September 1, 1983, a Soviet Su-15 intercepter aircraft fired two missiles at a Korean Airline's Boeing 747 near the Soviet island of Sakhalin, north of Japan. Moments later, Japanese air controllers heard a faint, frantic message from the airliner: "All engines . . . rapid decompression." The huge 747 spun uncontrollably downward for twelve minutes. At 6:38 a .m., JAL Flight 007 disappeared from Japanese radar screens. Everyone on board-269 men, women, and children- perished. Ever since this atrocity, the Soviet Union labored to confuse and deceive the world about what actually happened. "The Soviet pilots, in stopping . the actions of the intruder plane, could not know it was a civilian aircraft," declared the official news agency Tass. "It was flying without navigation lights, at the height of night, in conditions of bad visibility, and was not answering signals." Besides, claimed the Soviets, the Korean airliner really was a CIA spy plane. A recording of the conversation' between the Su-15 pilot and his controllers, however, contradicted most of the arguments. It proved that the visibility of Sakhalin Island was very good; that the lights of the KAL 007 shone brightly; that the Soviets made no realistic efforts to warn KAL 007 or to force it to land; that from the outset, the Soviet interceptor flew to attack, not to warn. The Soviet Union had also failed to present any tangible evidence in support of the c laim that KAL 007 was embarked upon some kind espionage mission. Listening to all the Soviet arguments, an old Russion adage was remembered; "I will urinate in your eyes, and you will say it is Holy Water." That was the attitude the Soviet Union adopted in trying to justify the slaughter of 269 innocent men, women, and children.

Walesa wins Nobel Peace Prize "It would be too beautiful to be true," was Lech Walesa's reaction when told that he would probably win the coveted Nobel Peace Prize. This dream became a reality in October 1983 when the winners of the Nobel honors were announced. Walesa's fame began in 1980 when he created the first independent trade union, Solidarity, in Poland. Since then, his many accomplishments such as his role in the releasing of Polish martial law were enthusiastically supported by leaders such as Pope John Paul II and Ronald Reagan as well as people throughout the world. Forbidden to leave his native Poland to accept the award and the accompanying $194,000, Walesa sent his wife to Stockholm to receive it in his behalf. He donated the money to the Polish Roman Catholic Church.

Beginning with the class of 1989, graduation requirements were to be increased throughout the state of Pennsylvania. Unanimously, the State Board of Education voted to change the thirteen credit requirement over a three year period to a mandatory twenty-one credits over a four year period. For the State College Area High School this meant greater emphasis on the science and mathematics programs. All students would be forced to take two added credits in the arts and humanities, mathematics, and sciences; and one additional credit in English and social studies. Driver's Education class would also add to student's responsibilities. Education secretary, Robert Wilburn, emphasized that the new c urriculum, "will be a key element in Pennsylvania's efforts t o insure that students are well prepared to face the challenges of the future." The order would insist that the state schools offer a computer science course as well. Reflect ing a new nationwide concern for higher educational standards, the State Board hoped that the increase in credit requirements for graduation would c reate more well-rounded students in Pennsylvania schools.

Top albums announced The top five albums for 1983 were as follows: 1. "Thriller" (Michael Jackson) 2. "Business As Usual" (Men at Work) 3. "Synchronicity" (The Police) 4. "H20" (Hall and Oates) 5. "1999" (Prince)

His unprecedented triumph included seven regular as well as the special Award of Merit, as his contribut ions to musical entertainment. The 25year-old Jackson became the youngest ever to receive the award. Top songs from his hit album, "Thriller," which started and ended 1983 atop national charts highlighted the evening.

Many new faces appeared in the news in 1983. One repeatedly publicized person was Vanessa Williams, the 56th Miss America and the first black titleholder in the sixty-two history of the pageant. The standard of American beauty that traditionally excluded blacks, took on a new image. The Syracuse University junior said, "They chose me because they thought I could do the job." She did not feel discriminated against. "I'm making some waves and I'm ready to handle it." Originally, the financial rewards of the pageant ,attracted Miss Williams. The title promised a $25,000 scholarship. In addition, she earned an estimated S130,000 for her appearances covering 20,000 miles and 200 cities. After her reign, Miss Williams planned to finish college and pursue a career in musical theater. Civil Rights activist Jesse Jackson said, "1983's Miss America is certainly one of the year's most influential people. Vanessa did for the Miss America Pageant what Jackie Robinson did for the Dodgers."

Americans become entangled in Middle Eastern turmoil From the ''.Holy Lands" of three of the world's largest religions came a swirling storm of violence, hatred and death, clouding the issues and confusing many Americans who were trying to understand the events of 1983 and 1984. Amid the snipers, the kamikaze saboteurs, the car bombs, the vengeful retaliation, and the seemingly endless violence, Americans were dying. The American servicemen had been sent to Lebanon as a part of a MultiNational Peace Keeping Force (MNF) from the United Nations. More of a political statement of strength than a military force, the Marines were restricted in their actions. Unable to fire unless fired upon, they were located at positions in Beirut, on battleships and aircraft carriers such as the "New Jersey" and the "Independence" offshore. On October 23, 1983, tragedy struck the U.S. Marine Headquarters when a terrorist crashed a truck-bomb through · the gates at the Beirut International Airport killing 241 sleeping servicemen. At the same time, a similar truck destroyed a French position that was also

As millions of bells rang throughout the nation on January 1, 1984, earring voices of good cheer and "Happy New Year," an invisible bell rang, signaling the end of the Bell System. Since its formation in 1877, the Bell System had provided Americans with the best telephone service in the world, enabling transcontinental talks at the push of a button or the purr of a dial. "Ma Bell," as the company was affectionately known, virtually controlled the telephone business, making it impossible for small companies to enter the¡ telephone communications industry. Under United States low, monopolies ore prohibited, to maintain the traditionally American capitalistic spirit. On January 8, 1982, in on out of court settlement with the Justice Deportment, Bell broke up into eight large companies, including a new American Telephone and Telegraph. The seven other companies, bearing names such as Ameritech and Pacific Telesis, responsible for regional telephone service. These "holding" companies contain hundreds of smaller companies, which provide local service. As a result of the reorganization, ¡competition among communications companies was intense.

ment, must counter the challenge with quality, inexpensive telephones. In anticipation of the breakup, numerous companies entered the phone market, advertising hundreds of models: cordless telephones, clock-radio telephones, cartoon character models, and even phones designed to look like early models, anomalies in a high technology world. Besides telephones, AT & T branched out into many other communications fields, including computer technology and satellites. Of course, big business, despite good products and management, is nothing without the consumer. Telephone customers seemed contused, unsure of how to handle telephone service, a service which they assumed would always be as simple as paying a monthly bill. Basically, consumers had three options: to continue renting phones, to buy Bell phones they hod been using, or to return them and buy new ones from other suppliers. The breakup of the Bell System, although monumentally important to the communications industry, will not affect the consumer in the long run. Americans can expect to receive the same first~class service that they are so used to.

Pope Forgives Assassin Agea "For every action there is a reaction." Yet seldom does a terroristic act trigger a gesture of humanity and peace. In 1983 one man succeeded at this, moving people throughout the world. On may 31, 1981, Pope John Paul II was shot and fatally injured as his "Popemobile" inched through crowds in Saint Peter's Square. The assassin, a Turkish Muslim named Mehmet Ali Agea, was subdued immediately and taken to Rome's Rebiddia Prison. Agea claimed that he was in allegiance with the Turks and the Bulgarians. In 1983 the Pope went to the prison to speak with Agea. He and Agea conversed for twenty-one minutes while a cameraman and a photographer recorded the historic event. Before the Pope left, he gave Agea a rosary and the prisoner respectfully kissed his ring. Although the Pope forgave the gunman, Agaa's life imprisonment sentence was still valid.

You've probably already guessed it-a Cabbage Patch Kid! These sought-after, foughtafter dolls were as big a fad as hula hoops, gumbies, and pet rocks. Perhaps the reason Cabbage Patch Kids were so popular was because upon purchase the owner received adoption papers and a year later a birthday card from Coleco, the company that manufactured the doll. Or perhaps they were craved because each doll was individually made by a programmed computer. Or maybe they were such a prized item because of their scarcity. In State College the only store to carry Cabbage Patch Kids was Hills Department Store. A few weeks before Christmas people from all over the area lined up in front of Hills, long before the doors opened so that they would have a chance to buy the dolls.

NEWSPEAH NEWSPEAH NEWSPEAH The Threat of Nuclear War Gains Widespread Recognition in 1983 1983 will be remembered as a year that brought renewed awareness of t he nuclear arms situation and the constant threat of extinction which we all live. Discussion of the issue was inspired not only by the U.S. deployment of missiles in Europe and the protest surrounding that decision, but also by several movies dealing with nuclear war. War Games, released over the summer, mixed up the ingredients for a hit by combining the computer craze with the theme of nuclear confrontation. The confrontation was not between the superpowers, however, but between the U.S. and its own defense computer after a teenage hacker entered it and the machine took a game of "Global Thermo-nuclear War" seriously. The movie posed import ant

questions: How much of the decision to launch missiles should be left up to computers? What can be done to prevent an inadvertent nuclear war? This fall, ABC showed one of the most talked about and certainly the most widely-debated telemovie in history: The Day After. Weeks before its broadcast, t he movie was already stirring up debate and even made the covers of national magazines. Why all the fuss? The Day After was heralded as the most disturbing movie ever made for television. Through its graphic portryal of the destruction of one American town, t he movie's objective was to give viewers a horrifying look at what will happen if nuclear war is ever loosed upon the earth. Many were worried about the ef-

to the Aloha Bowl, played December 26th in Honolulu, Hawaii, to take on the Washington Huskies. The Lions managed to pull off the win with a score of 13- 10. The bowl win combined with their 8-4-1 record, which they earned in spite of a difficult schedule, gave the Lions a national post season rank of 17th.

fects of the movie on the public-politically and emotionally. Disgruntled advocates of a stong nuclear defense complained that The Day After was merely a two-hour, seven million dollar commercial for the nuclear freeze movement. Parents were advised not to allow children under 12 to watch the movie, and some physicians set aside office hours to counsel distraught viewers. Some experts said, however, that the horrors shown did not approach those of an actual nuclear aftermath. The Day After became eerily relevant when, three days after its broadcast, the Soviets walked out of the arms talks at Geneva. The Soviet decision to terminate the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces talks came after West Germany voted to accept new U.S. Pershing II and cruise missiles in Europe, despite heavy protest in their country as well as around the world. Peace demonstrations and antimissile rallies were held all over Europe and throughout the United States in a futile attempt to stop the installation. Animosity between the superpowers was reminiscent of the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962. At that time, the world was pushed to the brink of nuclear war when Russia tried to deploy missiles in Cuba, a move the U.S. would not tolerate. Then, Kennedy delivered an ultimatum, and the Soviets finally backed down. Many questions were raised about this seeming parallel- -couldn't one look at the deployment of missiles in West Germany as a Cuban Missile Crisis in reverse? The Soviets promised retaliation in the U.S. coast. Reagan pointed out that this is something they have been doing all along, so announcing it would not make any difference. Amid all the talk of balance and counter-balance, however, opponents of Reagan asked if numbers make any difference when both sides already have enough weapons to destroy each other several hundred t imes over. One point was continuous brought into focus by both political and religious leaders- technology cannot be reversed. Man created o beast he must now learn to live with-a beast which most of these leaders felt could only be tamed with moral restraint.

U.S. Forces Invade South American Island Before October 25, 1983, few people knew where Grenada was, but the United State's "invasion and rescue mission" brought the obscure island 80 miles off the coast of Venezuela into the center of media head lines and the American public's attention. Before dawn, American transport planes left Barbados carrying U.S. Army Rangers, who parachuted onto an airstrip under construction on the island's southern tip. At the same time U.S. Marines from the USS Guam attacked the Northeastern Grenadian airport from helicopters. With the two airports secured, more Marines landed on the west coast and secured the Governor General's house. A day later, the missions' true purpose was accomplished when American medical students were evacuated from St. George's University School of Medicine. The return of the endangered American civilians and troops several weeks later proclaimed the mission successful. However, from the t ime of President Reagan's announcement of the landing of U.S. and other Caribbean Island troops on Grenada, questions were raised about its justification. Even allies such as Great Britain, condemned the invasion as a violation of international law.

30•Newspeak

The invasion came as a response to a bloody military coup on the island. On October 13th, extreme leftist Deputy Prime Minister Bernard Coard placed Prime Minister Maurice Bishop under house arrest. A mob of his supporters freed him and moved to Fort Rupert, where the army of Grenada fired upon the citizens and executed Bishop. General Hudson Austin proclaimed himself the new leader of the island. There was immediate concern in Washington over the safety of the 1000 Americans on the island. Several days·1ater, the Organization of Eastern Caribbean States joined by Jamaica, voted unanimously to ask the U.S. to invade Grenada with their assistance. Finally, at 9:02 a.m. on October 25th, President Reagan announced invasion commencement. Slowly, news arrived of previously unimagined amounts of Cuban soliders posing as airstrip workers, and Soviet and Cuban arms on the island. Many Americans supported the invasion, and the rescue mission which successfully brought endangered Americans to their safe secure homes. With very few casualties and much support from the Grenadians themselves, the invasion seemed justified to many. President Reagan declared, "It isn't nutmeg that is at stake in the Caribbean and Central America. It is the U.S. national Security."

However, by the end of Super Bowl XVIII, the Los Angeles Raiders had trounced the Redskins 38-9, upsetting all hopes for a Redskin win. The three point underdog Raiders secured the "largest margin of victory" record with twenty-seven more points then the opposing Redskins. Marcus Allen, Los Angeles' star runningback and the game's MVP, placed his mark in the Super Bowl archives. Allen tied the record for the most touchdowns (2), and broke the records for the longest gain rushing, the average rushing, and the most combined yardage of 209 yards.


Jackson Frees Naval Aviator It was the embarrassment of President Reagan. Walter Mondale and other Democratic rivals for the presidential nomination would rather not mention it. It gave the foremost influential black leaders of America an excuse to support Jesse Jackson. It gave Jackson a political victory beyond his expectations. It may have furthered communication between the United States and Syria. And perhaps most importantly, it freed Naval aviator, Lt Robert Goodman from captivity. When Jackson first set out on his "mission of peace," he tried to court the help of the White House. Not surprisingly, they refused his calls. In the first place, they were unwilling to relinquish their own official dimplomatic efforts. Secondly, they did not wish to help a rival in what initially seemed to be a political manuever for more publicity. Even Jackson could not have foreseen the effectiveness of his mission. By succeeding, Jackson made a great gain in the race for the nomination. The rescue not only strengthed the resolve of his followers, it also rallied the

Although Republican strategist John Sears belittled the incident as just a "one week wonder," several people believed as Senator Alan Cranston's campaign manager said, " . . . you can no longer say he's not a serious candidate. There is a strong feeling in the black community of wanting to support him and this gives them the excuse." It was a triumph for Jackson, the illegitimate son of a poor South Carolinian textile worker, who strengthed the image of the "black preacher-civil rights leader."

Acting on the parent's concerns, the Administration organized a special committe which included community members and representatives of the Black Forum.

Jobs offer students a means of meeting financial needs As the saying goes . . . they "work hard for the money." A plethora of students found time outside of schoolwork and sports activities to engage in some form of employment. A variety of jobs, ranging from bagging, bussing, and billing, to typing, tallying, and teaching, served as stepping-stones for both long and short term goals. For instance, Kathy Mast, an employee at the University Creamery, was saving her money for the 1984 Europe trip with Dr. Wilkerson, while Laura Duda, working at Penn-Whelan, kept her bank account active by meeting the financial needs of owning a horse. A predominant subject primarily on the minds of seniors was the thought of attending college and encountering the tuition fees. Senior John Lundy enhanced his savings by working at Dante's Ristorante. There were those, however, who were employed simply for the continual income of spending money. Dana Guyer felt it was a twofold operation working at Riverside: she simultaneously received money for such things as clothes, albums, and art supplies, while she developed skills pertinent to any career. As in any case, the overall work experience aided one in attaining responsibility and social interaction which were both beneficial in the pursuance of a vocation.

Classroom activities, school functions geared toward learning, and organized special interest groups combined into State High academics. Students exercised the right to choose their own individualized program of study. Whether advanced courses and conventional schooling or enticing electives and unstructured learning interested students, all found a suitable schedule.

Class/Fun Student involvement breaks conventionalism Ideally, scbool denoted hours of learning through osmosis, sitting in lecture and absorbing knowledge. Unfortunately, classrooms were not always that conducive to learning, so when students needed a break, a typical activities saved them from unbearable monotony. Math students depended on guest speakers to restimulate intellectual interest. Some erudite orators spoke on such mind-boggling concepts as remote sensing and computer designs. Others introduced students to a myriad of mathematical fields. suggesting future majors and occupations. Both English and music students opted for rich culture. Entire classes attended Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, performed by the University Resident Theatre Company; and the wind ensemble and concert band members were treated to an assembly concert by the Mansfield University Wind Ensemble. Another welcome assembly to capture students' interest, the "Dreammakers" production rekindled State High pride. Individuals realized the importance of school friends and encouragement. During every school day, other unconventional situations refreshed students. Physical education classes exercised the body and thus stimulated the brain; science labs applied learning, enabling students to handle further lecture material; Home Economics, including the Apple Pie Bake-Off Contest, enticed those who wished for the immediate fruits of their labor; the Pre-school offered experience for future educators; and the counseling center provided innumerable resources open to eager students.

Business Technology comes to Business Education The computer revolution of the 1980's took the business world by a storm. leaving the technologically illiterate behind in the dust. What was futuristic fantasy only a decade before became reality for the Business Department this year when it added sixteen new IBM Personal Computers to its assets. Students used the computers in Business Computer Literacy and Applications, and in data processing courses in B~ic, Fortran and Cobol.

,.

Said Mrs. Lillian Upcraft. data processing instructor, "I think the students are really enthusiastic and eager to learn. They can't wait to get their hands on the computers." While academic courses concentrated on the theory behind knowledge, business courses concentrated on applying it to realistic situations. Classes such as Business English dealt with grammar and punctuation. augmenting the acquired knowledge with letter-writing and reporttyping. Courses in typing, stenography and mathematics rounded out the curriculum. Not only business students took these courses. however. In this fastmoving world such skills became a necessity; learning to operate a computer keyboard was difficult enough without being hindered by fingers that would not hit the right keys. Through State High's Business Education program, students developed the talents they would need to take on the future.

Academia Students win with grades and scores If one issue was to be voted both the "least-likely-to-succeed" and the "most popular" this year, weighted grades would surely have won. Committed persons had haggled over its possibilities before, but the weighted grades controversy did not come to a head until the start of the school year. The September school board meeting, replete with discussions, was one long work session for board members, faculty, parents, and students alike. The majority of students present fought for weighted grades, stressing that the enormous amount of work required in advanced courses should be reflected on transcripts. Opposition, concerned with the possibility of "elite-ism," was generally posed by the administration and by the school board. Concerned students spent hours of valuable time writing letters to the Editor of the Centre Daily Times, passing student petitions, and asking for parental support. Finally, their efforts were amply rewarded October 10, when the concept of weighted grades was passed. A specified scheme was soon voted on and put to use. The chosen weighted grades system, commencing with the class of 1985, affected only class rank and transcript grade-point average. Grading in all non-advanced courses remained standard, as before. This year ten State High students qualified as semi-finalists. Andy Cutler, Dave Greenfield, John Irwin, Tracy Knott, Tom Liu, Chris Llinas, Bill Meyers, Randy Newnham, Harry West, and Judy Zeller all received scores of 195 or above in order to achieve this recognition. Although their junior yea r scores missed the passing of the weighted grades system. seniors Chris Bellanti and Keith Detwiler still value their AP American History experience. Surprise a nd exciteme nt over the passing of weighted

grades overflows into written. as well as demonstrative, celebration.

Excuses What happened to your homework? For most of us, there were times during the school year when we forgot to do ( or didn't feel up to doing) our homework. Some creative attempts by students intended to account for this: "I couldn't find my lucky crayon." "My parents wouldn't let me do it." My canary died and we needed something to line the coffin with." "I couldn't bring it; it didn't match my outfit." "My sister usually does it, but she had a date." "My teddy bear got sick." "I sold it to an underclassman." "What? I can't hear you; your shirt is too loud." "My M & M's melted on it." "We ran out of toilet paper." "I left it at the beach." "l was compiling yearbook excuses." "The cockroaches erased it." "I was fired last night, so it's no longer within my budget." "I donated it to charity." "Well, you see . . . we're paper-training the puppy and uh . . ." "I O.D. on Diet Coke and had to spend the rest of my day in the bathroom." "We ran out of rolling paper." "I dreamed I was a paper shredder in the EPA and when I woke up all my homework was gone." "Well, I lent my notes to Lisa, and she gave them to Karen, and she gave them to Bill, and he gave them to Amy, and she "

"It was on the word processor, and the power went out." "After I had finished all my homework, I remembered that you had wanted it done on unlined paper - so I bleached it.,, "You never told us to do that." "Everyone knows Wednesday is reserved for 'Dynasty' only."

Districts Musicians shine at festival competitions "An awful lot of practicing!" one clarinetist groaned, describing the main ingredient of a district festival. However, practice was not the only activity in store for participants in the 1984 district orchestra, band, and chorus festivals. The orchestra competition and concerts, held at Bald Eagle-Nittany High School, found twenty-three students from State High under the direction of guest conductor Dr. Donald W. Beckie. Upon arriving, the students auditioned for chairs while, as one musician explained, "Everyone had little flying saucers in their stomachs. Well, at least I did." In spite of the saucers, eighteen State High students qualified for regional competition. Saturday's concert included such orchestral fare as Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 4 in F minor and "Selections from West Side Story" by Leonard Bernstein. The eighteen band members who attended the district festival in Curwensville followed a similar schedule. Although they practiced up to ten hours a day, they still found time to enjoy themselves at a dance and two banquets, one of which featured musical entertainment by the band directors, including State High's Mr. Richard Victor.

Dr. Beckie also conducted the band concerts, in which the group performed such numbers as Bennet's "Suite of Old American Dances" and "Selections from Cats." Seventeen State High students competed at the regional festival. The district chorus festival convened at Juniata High School. Sixteen State High singers attended, having prepared for the competition with the help of choir director Mr. James Langton. Under guest conductor Mr. Dick Thorne, the students sang "Jubilate Deo" by Gabrielli and Greyson and "Alleluia" by Randall Thompson. Eleven State High vocalists continued on to the regional festival. With nimble fingers and deep concentratton, Carolyn DeMark and Louis Pepe rehearse their district band music.

Modified Day and Work Experience grant independence A shortened school day, every student's dream, became reality with Modified School Day. Granting students a larger input in the form of their education, this program entrusted seniors with individual responsibility and the freedom to choose their own priorities. Non-degree courses at Penn State, although popular. did not comprise all of the modified activities. A large precentage of students opted for mentorships on campus and within the community. Dave Moss worked with the campus nuclear reactor after a short day of conventional schooling. Tracy Knott became involved with robotics at the University, topping off his already heavy school work load. Other seniors used their time to improve acting abilities, increase athletic performance, or sharpen musical skills. Cooperative Work Experience, another program training students in responsibility, attracted individuals whose priorities could best be fulfilled outside of school. Although some training was provided within State High, most of a student's day unraveled in the working world. Some students, like Mike Hawbaker and Gary Kocher, worked for relatives. Others chose an occupation of individual interest. Ranging from supermarkets to fast food restaurants, libraries to auto shops, job locations dotted all of State College. Even the University offered students an opportunity for experience. Andrew Conrad studied floral culture, Jim MacNeill helped with PSU Sports Information, and Laurie Neff spent time at the Creamery. Although areas of interest and program titles varied, one major ideal remained in each student's mind: time and opportunity to reach for one's own goal. With such a .wealth of Information avallable, even Modified Day students, like Phil Anderson, spend some time at State High with Norm Thompson. On his way to the University Engineering Lab, Tracy Knott stops in the office to sign out for the remainder of the day.

Special Ed Students care with individual acceptance For the Special Education students at State High, life presented a series of challenges. They learned to cope with school pressures, struggle with individual problems, and adapt to new and different environments. Perhaps the most prominent, and ultimately rewarding, of their talents was the ability to care; they became concerned not only for themselves, but for other individuals as well. Although the room always remained open, the majority of students spent more time outside of the classroom. Most held jobs in local businesses, some volunteered at nursing homes, and others became involved in extra-curricular school activities. Each student carried a strong sense of individualism, a trait greatly encouraged by the teachers. When asked to describe her "typical" student, Ms. Jan Williams always counter-acted with, :'You describe .the typical kid." Just as all teens could not have been grouped in one category, neither could the students in the Special Education Program. Recognizing their own individualism was easy, but convincing others presented quite a different problem. Therefore, the classroom became a fountain of love and encouragement. Devoted to nurturing responsible adults, Ms. Williams, her aides, and student volunteers provided the personal attention needed by each individual pupil. Although t his year proved especially difficult as a result of the changed VoTech calendar and the relocated classroom itself, the Special Education Program grew from the inside out. Not so secluded and introverted, it accepted new changes, recognizing beauty in student diversity and individual challenges. With their own kitchen, students ore able to participate in o myriad of practical activities. Learning takes time, but Billie Pennebaker is patient and more than willing to teach her exceptionally eager student, Juanita Decker.

Vacatians Take a closer look at pre-occupational programs Industrial Arts was too often thought of only in junior high terms . . . simple wood and metal shops. In reality, however, the Industrial Arts Department offered an extensive list of courses, ranging from drafting to architecture and including all levels of electronics. In the electronics division, students chose from a myriad of possibilities. Some of the more advanced projects Included the design of a metronome and the creation of a strobe light. The days of simple drawings and projects were left, forgotten, in the wake of students' surprising and complex industrial accomplishments. The fact that State College is surrounded by rural community and farming areas was reflected in State High's curriculum by Vocational Agriculture, a program of courses designed to prepare students for numerous agrarian occupations. Besides the ordinary farm management , crop and animal raising, and farm mechanics, students studied the economic side of the agricultural fields. A required, non-credit course in Economics and the Agriculture, Business and Marketing semester class prepared students for commercial endeavors. A new curriculum commenced this year for students involved in the Vocational Technical Program. Instead of half a day of classes followed by a mid-day bus ride to or from Pleasant Gap, the students alternated full, nine-week periods between State High and the VoTech School. A previously-conducted study of other technical schools made the new program more than just an experiment. It was a well-planned adjustment, beneficial both economically and academically, allowing intensified study for students. Having teamed the bare necessities, like how to c hange a tire. John Burkett probes deeper into auto mechanics. .Although the school district boasts its own VoTech sc hool. the nine weeks spent at State High hold just as much importance for students like Ted Roe.

The AP Alternative Program wins student's praise ... As l was saying, my year at the Alternative Program did not exactly constitute a traditional education. Actually, it was far from it.

(

Are you still confused about why l transferred to the AP? First of all, opportunities available here were not offered at other schools. Nearly any subject could be studied, and few classes met in a lecture setting. More emphasis was placed on how you learn than on what you learn. For example, independent contracts could be made in any area of interest by utilizing the resources of the community. These contracts met the needs and interests of students.

Other classes worked toward a d efinite end result. After intensive study of geography and biology, one group organized a two-week excursion to the Great Smokey Mountains. Older students interested in exploring vocations started internships. Course work at Penn State for both high school and college credit also app ealed to students. The student government also differed. Headed by director Rick Lear, the AP supported an Advisory Council made up of parents. students, and staff. This year's three elected officers were chairman Heather Moberly, vice chairman Ben Clark, and secretary Melissa Porter. I promised to tell you about that guy I met in the library, but the AP c arried my mind away.

Volleyball: It is the second largest competitive team sport in the world. Enthusiasm for the sport was reflected in the attitude of the State College girls' volleyball team. As Laurie Vicory stated, "I have a blast playing volleyball. That's important in high school."

according to Amie Foster. "There is an inherent problem with team sports in terms of cooperation," stated Lisa Muck. Yet Coach Trunzo felt that "this group totally pulled together well and were strong early in the season."

The team acquired a new coach this year. Becky Trunzo had coached volleyball for State College previously and felt, "It was satisfying to come back to coaching volleyball to see how much appreciation the athletes have for the game."

'Killer instinct on the court' -Kathy Reidell

Three months long, the volleyball season had 'it's many highlights. The first game of the season against Huntingtom "was our best game; everything came out right. We played without thinking too much," according to Catrin Alex. The away game against PhilipsburgOsceola was also, according to Susie Goldstein, "a very close game. We were all so psyched; we lost the first game, but we came back to win."

Volleyball had its special meaning for every individual. Kathy Reidell enjoyed "the killer instinct on the court." Jennifer Kiusalaas needed "the emotional and physical release." Lisa Page "valued" the special friendships that are formed when people hove to work so closely together."

Jennifer Kiusalaas commented on home games: "We become very aggressive in home games, and we really have a good offensive attack." Strengths of the team this year included "our ability to hit the ball," commented Coach Trunzo, also "Our ability to play well together," added Elissa Lembeck, and "our serving when it's consistent" according to Susie Goldstein. Kathy Reidel! added, "If all six people work together. we can beat anybody." Weaknesses and problems occurred "because 11 out of 12 players were new to the 6-2 form of offensive," voneybon • 74

'It's a hard sport to be good at .... ' -Pat Antonik were constantly placing their skills on trial. If they were not challenging other teams, they were challenging each other for top positions on the team. Pat Antonik expressed the special circumstances of golf: "It's a hard sport to be good at. Your precision has to be perfect; it's frustrating when you hit a bad shot." Chet Esber expressed similar sentiments of tennis, " ... you're relying all on yourself in singles. Doubles are more fun," he continued, "more relaxed, more social." Jill

Fenton, on the other hand, preferred singles: "Singles are more individual; if you make a mistake, you don't feel so bad. There is more freedom in singles." The players, however, agreed that talented young teammates were a prize, not a hindrance. "We've got a deeper line up with up-and-coming freshman," remarked Chet Esber. "I think we have a good chance of winning District VI," he said optimistically. Most importantly, Jill Fenton stated, "We had a lot of fun with tennis and enjoyed playing for the team."

all teams tackle inexperience

The 1984 State College baseball squad, although a young and inexperienced team, impressed Coach Ken Barto early in the season. He remarked, "Outside of the five returning lettermen, we're basically green." Barto was most optimistic of

'All new, but skilled.' ¡Coach Ken Barto the team's offensive potential - " the potential to hit." Defensively, as well, he saw few problems. Barto described State High as "all new, not skilled." Although Barto viewed general depth in all areas, he was quick to add, "We need to play some ballgames to see if we have cohesiveness within the t eam." Dave Montressor and Ken Anderson, new faces in the starting lineup, had distinct impressions of the team's potential. Montressor said, " I feel the leaders for this year's squad will be the all-around p layers," Anderson predicted, "Bald Eagle, Bellefonte, and Clearfield would be the teams to beat for the Central Penn League title."

to be good," said Deb Bryan. "With the blend of youth and experience, it was interesting to see the seniors become leaders and the sophomores mature," said Coach Rossman . Offense seemed to be a possible strength of this year's team. Coach Rossman stated, "We have some very good hitters." In comparison to last year's team, Deb Bryan felt, "Last year's strength was pitching and defense; this year's strength is offense." Coach Rossman set the State Championships as his goal for the season, yet he cited Central and Conrad Weiser as the definite obstacles to that goal. In general, however, Coach Rossman was " looking forward to success because "we have a lot of talent and I think states is a very realistic goal for this team."

Sarto's philosophy of play was "for everyone to know the fundamentals, play very sound defense, have a controlled, aggressive-type offense, and don't get yourself in trouble." Experience was also lacking in the 1984 softball team. The four returning starters, however, have played varsity softball for four years. The remainder of the team, however, is "inexperienced but they have the potential

' . . . It's daring; you have to have a go-for-it atti· tude.' -Eric Nicholson was following suit to other students who used outsideof-school athletics as an outlet for frustrations. Determined joggers ran on their personal cross-country teams, roller-skaters trained for their one-man Olympics, and bicyclists covered more than some cruisers. The proximity of Penn State also added racquet ball courts, and a giant pool. In addition to individual athletics, team sports organized without school support flourished. Although they lacked the entire student body's spirit, games like ice hockey instead won family support. As Andy Wilson shared, "One particular ad-

vantage was the freedom to choose practice and game times, team colors, and trips." When relating his love of ski racing, Eric Nicholson said, "First, it's a sport that develops the individual. Secondly, you're out in the clean, open air. Thirdly, it's daring; you have to have a 'go-forit' attitude."

For students with varying tastes or a schedule unfit for school-sponsored athletics, such sports offered the only alternative. They meant physical activity in a different atmosphere, but with the same individual challenge; motivation, and achievement.

State High meant more than a building with a schedule of classes. More important than its innumerable academic and extracurricular offerings were the people. From diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds, of varying ages. and with different moral and social standards, the school population could hardly be considered uniform. The personal thoughts, feelings, and ideas of individuals steered them in a myriad of directions.

Camputerizing Caws Computers help farming Even the age of the c.omputer did not eliminate the vital work of one senior. Though Kathy Rider's father was fortunate enough to employ the use of modern technology on his farm, some jobs still required the human touch. Kathy spoke mildly of the work : " ... when you're making hay and everyone is going into town to shop, you have to stay home; you get used to it."

Cuddle up! Kathy Rider chooses the real thing instead of the stuffed imitation.

In one sense the approach of the computer to the farm created more work. Her father's computer, useful only if understood, read the identification number of each

cow recorded on a transponder and then would lay down the twenty-four hour allotment of food. The computer then kept a record of the intake of eighty animals. Processing a print-out of the information required programming skills. With all this technical help, however, Kathy still woke to a merciless alarm clock at 5:30 a .m. to face brisk morning air and hungry horses and sheep. Yet, for Kathy graduation meant gratifying farming.

Visiting friends in England, Betsy shared two different lifestyles. At "Fridays," (The English follow the custom of naming their houses), she discovered the atmosphere of a quaint cottage. At "Paradise Farms," a mansion built in 1492, three floors, eight bedrooms, and a stable invited exploration.

People-watching in England. Betsy saw the punk fashion taken to the limit "everywhere." In Germany she saw a robust quality new to her. In Italy, joyous people filled the streets waving their flags with pride after their team won the World Cup soccer match. Betsy fondly recalled the food: the gusto of the Italian dishes, the Brie Cheese of France, and the fine Swiss Chocolate. Visiting Europe, Betsy explained, "made us more aware of what's going on over there."

Scratch Pad Dawn Leathers praises business education Warning of the pace of future college lectures and the difficulties of trying to take notes created worries for many seniors, but not for Dawn Leathers. As an accomplished student of Business Education, she was headed straight for a job. Dawn successfully competed in many stenography and shorthand contests. In her junior year, she was first in the region and eleventh in the state in stenography. By the end of that same year, Dawn could scribble one hundred words per minute. Many 108 • Seniors

jobs only required eighty words per minute. Dawn remembered trying to read shorthand in her first weeks of Stenography L "It was like being in first grade class again." "Typing was another story," said Dawn, but she always kept words of hope in the back of her mind; " If you try hard in your business courses. you can get a good job." Electric typewriters, including such features as a self correcting unit and the capability to store documents, made the difference in Dawn's interest level.

"Oopsl" Down Leathers assesses her mistake; it's a small one. Down sighs with relief.

Varsi t4 Letterman Triple sport achievement comes from motivation Standing out in a school with nearly 1,000 students posed a grand challenge for many State High students - especially in sports. The boy's program, alone, offered eleven varsity teams. Darryl Washington, however, earned recognition for a spectacular collection of Varsity letters- eleven from basketball, baseball, and football.

After finding his man, Darryl Washington tokes the stance for which he will always be famous.

lenged him academically, football offered him a second family. "It's unbelieveable how close everyone is," he said. "Each player is like a brother." This was the team Darryl almost didn't join in tenth grade because he worried about the size of those high school players he watched every Friday night.

Darryl explained his motivation: "I think that as long as you're in sports, you've got to think you're one of the best ones out there." This philosophy and hard work provided Darryl with 75 letters While advanced courses chal- from college recruiters. Yet Darryl felt, "Playing sports is just a privilege; you can't play unless you obtain your academic goals."

Danish Fling Young American's perspective changes in Denmark

Sharing the day together, Jeff Danner and Danish girlfriend. Anne Christiansen. rest tor o moment.

Denmark was home for Jeff Danner and his family during the spring semester of the 1982-83 school year. Jeff attended a gymnasium where only the top 25% of students after ninth grade study. Jeff recalled the relaxed atmosphere: "The teacher was likely to show up in jeans and a sweat shirt." "What I learned in schools was to understand some Danish," Jeff explained. His friends. however, spoke fluent English having taken it since 5th grade and having watched Danish sub-titled Ameri-

can TV shows. Jeff and his girlfriend spoke Danish, English, and French-all in one sentence. "The people are liberal, friendly, and they have terrific parties," commented Jeff. "You can do whatever you want without putdowns or labels," Jeff said with admiration. " Living the Danish way changed my perspective in every way." He admitted he would go again in five minutes if he could-"I understand now why people have such a desire to return." Seniors • 115


Juniars Class of 1985 balances individuality and unity Every year at State High, each class developed its own unique and defined personality, with certain characteristics that unite its students as one. For the class of 1985, however, perhaps it was our individual differences that made us unique. We were different in many ways: not only from the class above us, but also from each other. Through our extra-curricular interests as well as through the music we listened to and the clothes we wore, our distinctions from each other were apparent.

z_ ___,) Bold decorations of class spirit bring Lisa Gold and Alaina lmpellitt eri to the floor to do some pointing.

Our separate outside interests developed our class personality as well. The junior class was noted for its outstanding participation in sports and organizations. Whether it was music and drama or Work Experience or Vo-Ag, we excelled in our chosen areas. Yet, although we had many differences, we were always united. When we worked together, there was not a thing we could not accomplish. From the first junior class victory in "Almost Anything Goes," to the hard work and enthusiasm displayed in powderpuff football, we overcame our dissimilarities and became one class. Our distinction was clear: we were a class both unified and individual.

Student finds opportunities in America After living in Pretoria, South Africa, for eleven years. Andrew Bieniowski experience d on environmental change when he moved to the United States. The cold winter of America contrasted with the worm, tropical weather of South Africa. In addition, there were differences between American and South Africa n schools. In South Africa, schools enforced dress codes and required uniforms. In America, they did not. Yet, the greatest difference between the two notions was the manner in which the people seemed to view life.

In South Africa, students were "laid bock, with no stress and little mental d emand." Andrew hod

few commitments. In America, on the other hand, school was challenging, and competition was fierce- "everyone tried to be the best." In addition, there was a great deal of responsibility given to students in America. This difference of outlook was the most prominent . Coupled with these differe nces were t he memories of things he missed. More than the easy lifestyle, more than the nice weather and ye ar round swimming, Andrew missed his friends. The move, however, was well worth the sac rifice, for it opened new gateways of opportunity for him.

Performing comprises only part of the picture "Being an apprentice is a really good experience .... It's a wonderful opportunity for someone at my level of dance to be able to work and perform with people my age," said Daisy Sindelar, one of the two juniors at State High who were in the Apprentice Program of the Pennsylvania Dance Theatre in State College. The program provided pre-professional training for experienced young dancers who considered a career in dance. In addition to attending classes at the Central Pa. Dance Workshop, apprentices were given opportunities not only to perform but also to teach and to demonstrate in various classes, and to attend special workshops, in areas such as choreography

and technique. In return, however, Daisy and Crista Papas, forced fourteen hours per week in dance classes and rehearsals to be balanced with school, homework, and other outside activities. Their schedules included three hours of ballet, three hours of modern, one hour of pointe, three hours of elective classes, and approximately four hours of rehearsals and extra duties. Crista, in her 2nd year, and Daisy, in her 3rd year, both chose tap, adagio, and jazz as electives. Considering the amount of time and hard work, both girls felt it was worth the effort to gain experience, to develop their skill, and simply, to dance.

Exchange students experience U.S. first hand "That was so great!" Catrin Alex exclaimed as she left the gymnasium after a pep rally. They don't have pep rallies in Germany-or even school football teams-so this was a new experience for her. Catrin, known as "Cathy" to her American friends, was one of three exchange students from West Germany attending State High this year. Cathy, comparing American schools to those in Germany, found that the lack of football was not the only difference. A school day in Germany runs from 8:00 a.m. until 1:15 p.m., with choir, bands, clubs, and sports following. They attend high school one year longer than we do, through 13th grade if they intend

to go on to college. Every student is required to take English from 5th grade on. What did Cathy think of our school? "There is more homework here, but the tests are easier."

Dream

Fulfilled

Anja Koch, another German student agreed about the heavy workload. "I expected that people here would have a lot more free time than they do," she said. Cathy found school enjoyable here, however, because the teachers were more relaxed and liked a good joke. When asked why she chose America, she responded, "People dream of coming here." The two shared a special friendship here.

With fate In their favor, Catrin Alex and Anja Koch landed together in State College.

Margaret Hoover Takes a Memorable Excursion For Margaret Hoover, a junior at State High, the summer of 1983 was filled with a lot of exciting experiences, due to an unusual trip. Traveling with her aunt, uncle, grandmother, and cousin, Margaret visited Alaska and Canada in a unique way. From July 5th to August 21st, Margret and her family traveled across Canada in a truck by day and camped out in tents by night, with Alaska as their final destination. Of course, camping in this style was not always fun. During certain parts of the trip, the mosquitoes became so bad, she said, that she and her companions were forced to cover themselves with netting in order to sleep at night.

In addition, the drastic changes in temperature, which ranged from below freezing to a sweltering 96 degrees, also created some unenjoyable moments outdoors. Margaret also remembered an unpleasant swimming excursion. "We were swimming in this lagoon, and suddenly I felt these little things all over me. I was covered with leeches. It was so gross!" However, Margaret really did enjoy the trip and planned to return someday. Of her many favorite experiences, she enjoyed the tropical rain forests in Juno, Alaska, as well as the hike to the top of a glacier. But, she added, "Seeing whales, eagles, antelope, and caribou was what I really liked."

Students volunteer for a difficult but interesting job A summer filled with baroque paintings, tourists by the dozens, horse-drawn carriages, Dresden china, and samuri armamentsitems like these were generally not associated with a typical high school student's vacation. For nine juniors and two seniors, however, these objects and many more were part of an ordinary summer day. During the summer, eleven students participated in the docent program of the Boal Mansion and Columbus Chapel located in Boalsburg. All volunteers, the docents performed a variety of jobs at the Mansion. The most important was escorting tourists through the

Mansion, the chapel, and three museum buildings located on the estate's grounds. In addition, the docents assisted at the village festivals and public functions held at the Mansion. Monthly parties, attending plays at the Boal Barn, and swimming in the docent-rehabilitated pool, all added to the summer's experiences. State High students participating in the 1983 program were Paul Benshoof, Brain Cameron, Eric Cummings, Drew Frank, Jenny Gibson, Carrie LaPorte, Molly Mann, Lucie Miller, Parag Patil, Noel Raymond, and Doug Robinson.

Class of 1985 advances in a computer world SYNTAK ERROR FILE NOT FOUND UNIDENTIFIED STA TEMENT ERROR IN 740 These cryptic phrases were understood by an increasingly large number of students in the class of 1985 as technology expanded. Juniors, especially, realized the great importance of computer education in their futures. Almost all computer math classes were filled as more juniors scheduled the course. As a result, a new course, Advanced Placement Computer Science, furthered the educational possibilities. Rather then using BASIC, students in the Advanced Classes learned PAS-

CAL a more complex computer language. Fundamental Computer Literacy and Library computers, however, appealed to many. The computer affected many juniors out of school. Approximately one-third of the junior class had computers at home or planned on a career that dealt directly with them. During the school year, David Eckhardt worked, "three to ten hours a week on the computer, which is not Jong enough. In the summer I can work up to twelve hours a day with it. I'm a 'hacker.' By my own definition, a hacker is an amateur/professional computer programmer. So, I hack.''

Of Big Brathers

After seventeen years, Dr. William Babcock retires The highest administrative office in the school district was that of the superintendent. It was he who coordinated the day-to-day functioning of the district, paying close attention to both primary and secondary schools. For the greater part of our educational careers, the captain of this ship of learning, steering our district through calm but often stormy seas, was Dr. William Babcock. However, in June of 1984, this captain relinquished his command; Dr. Babcock retired after seventeen years as superintendent and 36 years in education. At the time that he first took office, in 1967, Dr. Babcock felt that there were two major goals which he would have liked to have achieved during his term. The first was to maintain and improve the high standards of achievement and excellence which characterized the district. Secondly, Dr. Babcock felt the necessity of improving relations and

communications between people inside the district so far as t o generate greater trust and understanding between all employees of the district. Now in retrospect, he felt that he has succeeded in this endeavor although one "never can get to perfection; there's always something to chase." Dr. Babcock found the most pleasurable part of his work to be in dealing with people. "I enjoyed the people most," he said. "By far, most were a pleasure to work with." In fact, he felt that his ability to work with different people across the district, coupled with the maintenance of high standards, was his greatest achievement. "I can't thank the employees and everyone enough for all their cooperation and understanding," he said. "This is an outstanding school district and the credit can be shared by all of us."

On a typical busy day, it seems that Dr. Babcock has to do two things at once to get the job done.

After high school, Mr. Hopkins attended the University of Miami for a year then transferred to Penn State. He graduated from PSU certified to t each math and physics.

During it, a presidential commission reported that the status of American education was mediocre and that teachers were incapable of teaching courses properly. For State High, however, 1984 was a year of academic triumph. During the early port of the school year, Mrs. Annalee Henderson, a teacher of mathematics at State High, was chosen to become one of the 104 teachers nationwide to receive the Presidential Award for Excellence in Science and Mathematics. The award, given to the best two moth and science teachers in each state, is partially based upon peer nomination which, for Mrs. Henderson, mode it "nice in itself." In addition, Mrs. Henderson gave credit for her high achievement to her fellow teachers. "Teaching," she maintained, " is like a job anywhere.

Dr. Lechnar fills Mrs. Bressler's shoes

"Who will be the new AP. teacher?" This question evoked a great deal of concern last year among perspective Advanced Placement American History students and was finally answered by the arrival of Dr. Michael Lechnar. With credentials including a Ph.D. from West Virginia Universit y, Dr. Lechner seemed impressively qualified to fill t he position left vacant by the retirment of Mrs. Bressler. After earning his B.S. in 1966, Dr. Lechnar married and worked for three years in a public high school. Returning to W.V.U. for graudate work, he served there as a teaching assistant in both Western Civilization and Humanities. During the interim between work on his two degrees, he spent a year in Washington, D.C., on a Folger Fellowship to the Folger Shakespeare Library. While in the capital, he attended seminar lee. tures and completed the research necessary for his Ph.D. Following t he completion of his dissertation entitled "Henry Vlll's Bastard Son," Dr. Lechner received his Ph.D. with an historical specilization in English history and, secondarily. in American History.

Accepting a position at the Fayette Commonwealth Campus of the Pennsylvania State University. Dr. Lechnar .began his career as a college-level instructor of American and European History. Then, after six years, he accepted a position at State High last summer. The State College atmosphere appealed to Dr. Lechnar because of the reputation of the course as well as the standards set by his forerunner, Mrs. Bressler. and the students themselves. In comparison t o his previous experience in secondary education, he found t hat the State College Area School District was "well-organized, excellent, and academically positive." Furthermore, Dr. Lechner maintained that the administration had been extremely helpful and friendly. Emphasizing his straightforward views, State High's new AP. History teacher remarked that, next to knowledge of his subject. the most important attribute in an instructor is "enthusiasm, enthusiasm, enthusiasm!" For, if a teacher sincerely enjoys his work, his attitude becomes contagious.

With eight or nine people per tent and showers only once every two weeks, the summer of 1967 was a memorable one for Mrs. Katie Scalise. For two months, Mrs. Scalise participated in an archaelogical dig outside Winchester, England, through a program sponsored by the British government and various European and American universities, including Gettysburg College, which Mrs. Scalise attended. During their stay, the students searched for Roman and Belgique ruins, a difficult, painstaking process that required careful sifting of dirt

with trowels in order to discover even the smallest objects. The work was hard, often keeping them at labor until late at night, but it proved to be interesting. Mrs. Scalise's group discovered the remains of a solider buried in full armor. However, her best memories were of the people she met. Working with students from different countries in Europe along with students from the eastern United States was a unique opportunity. And her favorite memories? "The British pubs!" she replied. "People of all ages go to them; it's the greatest way to know the English.

What began many years ago as a small, week-long display during the Christmas season had grown into a year-round hobby for Mr. Richard Victor, director of the Symphonic Wind Ensemble and Concert Band. He remembered how, as a child, his parents would set up a small train set for a brief time during the holiday season. Later, when he became older, the set was given to him. Since then, he had continued at this hobby, gradually adding engines, track, and other accessories. The simple track was transformed into a packed 5 x 11 foot display including seven engines, landscapes, tunnels, stations, and electrified signs. In addition, the amount of time that the set was assembled increased from several days around Christmas to several months.

Years of practice reap rewards in show biz "A band is only as good as its worst player," and Director Mr. Richard Victor strove to make the members of the Wind Ensemble aware of the truth of his prediction. Although requirements included only the satisfactory execution of an audition and the completion of a "strobe assignment," students were expected to practice individually, thereby benefiting the entire group. The Wind Ensemble's selectivity resulted in a foundation of student dedication from which stemmed its commendable musical quality. The group's excellence led it to the All-State Festival in April, which it attended by special invitation. State High's Orchestra was chosen to accompany the ensemble to the Festival. Students sold M&M's to pay for the trip, featuring individual performances and one night in the Holiday Inn. Although not as competitive as the Wind Ensemble. the Orchestra maintained high standards in relation to comparable groups. Director Mr. Will Hartman demanded only interest and demonstrated effort, allowing the more relaxed atmosphere to generate fun and musical development.

Special bands couple music and fun Encouragement without pressure, combined with the joy of making music, encompassed the Concert Band philosophy. Rehearsals twice a week offered an opportunity to build friendships, which often carried over into extracurricular Marching Band, since the latter required membership in a concert wind group. What else compelled students to join the Concert Band? Although some just wanted credit for a non-academic course and felt they should salvage their grammar school lessons, others were aspiring musicians, intent on getting involved in every aspect of the State High music program. For these more serious musicians, the Senior High also offered the Stage Band. Composed of a highly selective group of instrumentalists and two vocalists, Carolyn DeMark and Kristin Calhoun, the State Band presented an opportunity for totally extra-curricular musical excellence, marked by unique dedication. Along with regularly scheduled concerts, a Stage Band Festival hosted by State High brightened the spring. High school jazz ensembles convened for a weekend to perform and to hear other bands from around the state. In addition, specialists adjudicated the performances to critique each individual ensemble. Unmarred by competition, the festival opened doors to fun, peer awareness, and musical advancement for members of the State Band.

Voices coalesce in glittering concerts "This year the A Cappella Choir kept itself very busy," said senior Judy Zeller. Performing Abraham Kaplan's "Glorious" for their major work, the students got a chance to display their instrumental as well as their choral ability. Once again, WT AJ-TV invited the choir to sing on its Christmas program. "Silent Night" and "Bell Carol" highlighted this performance. Delighting State College shoppers with many traditional songs, the choir caroled under the Christmas tree in the Allen Street Mall. Director James Langton bragged, "There are two things about this year's choir that are better. First, the tone, and second, the greater number of independent singers. We were able to go into a 'quartet' arrangement after only a month instead of waiting until February as we usually do." Although the smallest ever, the Choralier Choir also came on strong. Joining the A Cappello Choir in its Winter Concert, it presented a variety of lighter tunes, such as "Christmas in the Air" and "Glad Noel." This winter, eighteen vocalists attended the District Choir Festival at Juniata High in Mifflintown, Pa. After rehearsing for two days with the arer's other talented singers, they presented a concert featuring "Steam Heat" and "Flower of Beauty" on Saturday, February 18. Guest conductor Richard Thorn, a former State High teacher, directed the choir.

A new show every week buiids band enthusiasm While some State High students slept in during the final days of summer vacation, Marching Band members practiced on the Intermediate High School parking lot. August meant a grueling three-hour rehearsal every weekday, while fall brought two-hour evening practices on Mondays and Wednesdays. Director Mr. Richard Victor and Assistant Director Mr. John Kovalchik headed the 165-member organization, aided by appointed rank leaders, who coached and encouraged students on the field and advised off the field. Instead of polishing one show for competition, the band chose to learn a new show each week, which delighted both the students and the Friday football crowds. The Marching Band brought its excellence to the community in other ways as well. Students marched in the Penn State Homecoming Parade, the Blue and White Game, and the Halloween Parade. They also presented two seated concerts, one at the Grange Fair and one at the high school.

During halftime at the basketball game, Donelle Scanzoni displays the sharp angles typical of modern cheering.


Cheerleaders spark enthusiasm for teams "A-W-E-S-0-M-E. Awesome! Awesome! Awesome are we!" The cheerleaders charged the football crowds with their cheers. One by one, the marching band members joined in, and soon the bleachers roared with sound, providing moral support for the p layers and fun for the audience. Generating excitement at football games, however, was not the only function of the cheerleaders. The twenty girls, under the supervision of advisor Mrs. Carole Brame and former State High cheerleader Nancy Harrington, cheered for two fall and three winter sports. In addition, the girls held two annual pep-rallies to build up school spirit and sponsored the Almost Anything Goes competition in the fall. During the offseason, they practiced new cheers, perfected old ones and drilled future cheerleader candidates. Money-making activities, although "old stand-bys," nevertherless worked for the girls. Their hoagie and bake sales, combined with car washes, raised sufficient funds to finance their trip to a sports camp in the Poconos.

Principal and school board listen to students "The 'Big Brother' of 1984 may have been a cold, removed, unknown ruler," Jessica Goldman, a junior, explained, "but State High's p rincipal Mr. Lewis Roderick is certainly nothing like George Orwell's image of authority. He's not an unseen fore~. He cares enough to get in touch with his students and with his community." Mr. Roderick's desire to receive community input on important, school-related matters prompted him to form the Principal's Advisory Committee (PAC), composed of teachers, students, and parents. Acting as a sounding board for his ideas, PAC made it easier for Mr. Roderick to make informed decisions that people would understand. Issues discussed ranged from PSAT/SAT testing procedures to handling of students' college transcripts, from drugs and alcohol in the school to the parents' role in the students' lives. Students concerned about school activities joined the Student Advisory Committee (SAC) where 15 to 20 students represented all disciplines within the high school to create proposals about student-related issues for the School Board. "SAC became involved in reviewing the Vo-Tech turnabout , developing criteria for the new superintendent and comparing State High with national norms," explained Kathy Hofstra, chairman of the committee.

In a thoughtful position, Tom Long ponders o topic ot on early-morning SAC meeting. Sharing a Mountain Dew, Anne Luckie and Kathy Hofstra examine the assignments for the next meeting.

Vital concerns center special student groups Killed . . . two drunk high school students from Wayland, Mass. died in a car crash. As a result, hundreds of schools across the nation followed the suit of Robert Anastas. teacher of those two students, and assembled concerned teens into local chapters of Students Against Driving Drunk. Part of the national life-saving program, SADD clubs reached three million teenagers in the United States and Canada. The national policy included a "Contract for Life," a signed agreement between parents and their teens, to reduce drunken driving. At State High, SADD reached out to alert the citizens of State College. In January, Keith Thompson, Kyle Danish, and Kit Rasmussen met with the Optimists to explain their goal: "positive peer pressure." Because students worked directly with other students, success became possible. As Kyle Danish intimated, "SADD works; it is a proven life course." Another concerned student group met early in the morning while most students and staff were quietly eating breakfast; the School Improvement Team worked on critical issues. Administrators, students, and staff discussed absentee problems, lateness to class, vandalism, upcoming events, and school goals which pended completion. "It provided an opportunity for students and staff to air their views about important issues." said Betsy Dupuis. "In turn, administrators gained valuable information for their decision making." Seriously presenting his position, SADD member Kyle Danish stresses he is not against drinking but rather driving drunk. At the SADD assembly, Angelo Downing urges students to commit themselves to a SADD contract with their parents.

Students join forces for fun and friendship "As a New Student Welcoming Committee member, I meet interesting people, but I also gained a close friend when I guided her as a new student," shared Jessica Goldman. Although the committee operated yearround giving tours, it held very few formal meetings: a swimming party, a party for the new students and a morning tea for t heir parents to meet . and talk with the school representatfves, and a day-long training session at Watt's Lodge with advisor Katie Scalise. Another club welcomed new members at any time during the year, invited the entire school to each meeting, and catered not to one, but to all student interest. "The State High Student Council attended to these responsibilities and more in an effort to incorporate a true representation of the student body," explained Jill Meter. With a "clean slate," President Keith Detwiler and the officers organized an October Homecoming Dance to open the door to more student bashes, one facet of high school life that had been lacking. The student-organized radio station bought dozens of records and added new zest to the mornings. The student store re-opened with soda and edibles for hungry scholars. A successful food drive, student exchange, and Heart-to-Heart computer dating rounded out the exciting school year. As advisor Ms. Jan Williams contended, they were open-minded, creative and energetic. "I've regained faith in the positive outcome of working with student organizations. It has truly been a great year." Checking plans for Blood Mobile Drive, Student Council President Keith Detwiler presents suggestions to the group for consideration.

Classes specialize in dedicated fund raising "The Savage Seniors!" They emerged in full force this year with a little coaxing and a lot of work from the Senior Senate. Taking advantage of nearly every homeroom period, the Senate sought to involve the entire class through activity and decision-making committees. Under its supervision, the class sold customized button, magazines, gym bags, and Easter candy. In the end the treasury boasted nearly $4,000. The Senate also sponsored the Powderpuff Game and the New Year's Eve Party, and developed a class theme, "Savage Seniors," and a class logo, the lion found on the Powderpuff and Almost Anything Goes shirts. After an "All Night Long" Dance Marathon, the Senate polled the senior class to determine the recipients of proceeds: 80% to cerebral palsy and 20% to learning disabilities. The Senior Dinner Dance at the Sheraton and a full class party sealed the dedication of the Senior Senate to the class itself.

With a class trip in the backs of their minds, a successful magazine and poster sale pushed them ever closer to reality. Class Vice-President John Dolan said, "The support of the student body was a major factor in the success of the year."

Facts and resolutions preoccupy intellects Should capital punishment be permitted? Do bans on lie-detector evidence, hypnotically induced testimony, and eyewitness testimony significantly violate a defendant's constitutional rights? What about TV cameras in the court room? And should plea bargaining continue? All were questions challenging members of our very own State High Debate Team. Under the direction of Mrs. Jean Shirey, Ms. Janice Bole, and Mr. Scott Cox, team members spent many a Tuesday evening practicing and refining argumentation techniques, studying the finer points of debate theory and planning strategy. After research in the dark, gloomy stacks of Pattee Library collecting evidence pertaining to the 1983-84 debate t opic, Resolved: That the United States should establish uniform rules governing the procedure of all criminal courts in the nation, the debaters emerged to travel to tournaments in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Shikellamy, and Shrub Oak, New York. "The team performed well at all of the tournaments, justifying their long hours of work," reported Tom Liu. Inquisitive students may wonder, "How many dimples are on a golfball?" But instead of counting them, Scholastic Quiz members went to the hour-long Wednesday meetings to find out. With the help of Mrs. Carol Anne Gentry and Mrs. Julie Gittings, the "spastic kids," as they called themselves, became versed in science, history, art, government, sports, or nearly any topic for their weekly oral quizzes. "Who invented the seed drill?" "What are the four classes of chemotherapy drugs?" "What is the difference between Norman and Romanesque architecture?" Students in the club drilled each other with these questions, some invented and some written by former club members, eager to banter trivial knowledge at each meeting for their own enjoyment.

State and world reps simulate politics What was a "model leggie"? "Any of the enthusiastic club members would have explained himself as a young person interested in the legislative process, political involvement, public speaking, and social awareness. Of course, he would have not forgotten to mention the ultimate culmination of the year's activities-a weekend in the Harrisburg Capitol Building," said member Jill Meter. Although not new to State College, the YMCA Youth Model Legislature organization re-established its prominence this year, gaining recruits and raising money needed to attend the Harrisburg conference. Required to research and write a bill for the convention, "model leggies" jointly introduced the questions of gambling in the Poconos, euthanasia, and computer literacy.

Whoever thought that high school students weren't interested in foreign affairs? The State High International Relations Club refuted any such notion. Under the supervision of advisor Dr. Ron Wilkerson, the members displayed their previously researched knowledge of the attitudes of various countries while learning the operations of the United Nations.

Another publication offered students recognition within the school. The Little Lion demanded creative layout design as well as strong descriptive copy preparation. "I think the aspects of yearbook production that made the greatest impact on us were the constant demand for contacts and organization and the financial responsibilities," summed up editor-in-chief Laura Deihl. With the hope of covering the year for their peers and placing well in competition, the yearbook staff gave great attention to the theme (1984). graphics, and lively copy.

170 • Math Club/French Club


Clubs put classroom skills to new tests "A decimal numeral, representing an integer that is divisible by 9, is composed of both digits 2 and 3, but no other digits. What is the smallest integer greater than 400 for which this is true?" Could you answer that question? Members of the State High Math Club could. The questii:>n was one of six on a Central Pennsylvania Math League (CPML) test given to high school students in the State College area once a month. Every Tuesday after school, the Math Club met, munching on cookies, to work on course-related math problems and to prepare for competitions. Other tests they sponsored included the monthly Pennsylvania Math League (PaML) Tests, given during A.R.E.A. periods, and the annual Mathematics Association of America (MAA) Test. These tests were open to all students, not just to Math Club members. As a whole, State High usually ranked first or second in CPML and PoML competitions. Math Club activities were not limited to a series of tests. At club meetings members relaxed with mathematical games and puzzles (video games during computer meetings) and expanded their horizons with guest lecturers, ranging from senior Louis Pepe, who spoke on Escher Mathematics, to PSU professor Dr. G. Patil, who presented "Probability and Combinations." By definition, a "Francophile" is an admirer of the French .culture and language. For the first time at State, some of the student Francophiles in French IV and French V formed the French Club to expand their understanding of French outside of the classroom. With advisor and French teacher Mrs. Lucette O'Neill, the students practiced their French conversational skills for about an hour after school on convenient Wednesdays.

A clear sign of comprehension, French Club members Lauro Crocken and Louis Pepe brighten up at the French joke. A llttfe help from a friend is just the trick for Jud Manfull's attempts at translating a French passage.

French Club. Bottom Row: L. Deihl. S. Lochbaum, L. Pepe, L. Melander. Top Row: L. Crocken, J. Manfull, C. LaPorte.

Instead of speaking as high school students, the group members often developed "characters" which they also used in class. While they assumed their French personalities, the students recounted their experiences to each other. They researched French professions and lifestyles, extensively employing their imaginations in order to ploy the roles realistically. In addition, the group discussed French plays.

Math Club/French Club• 171


Student productions • require late hours If near the auditorium some evening during the school year, one invariably noticed that the lights were still on. " The Thespians were working frantically on an upcoming production," said Louis Pepe. This year, the Thespians participated in district and regional drama competition with An Over· praised Season, a one-act play about youth. Two weeks later, the curtain opened on the fall show, The Curious Savage, a comedy about a carefree old woman who hides ten million dollars in a teddy bear. The Thespians closed the year with Gilbert and Sullivan's light-hearted operetta H.M.S. Pinafore. And, if the Thespians weren't working late in the auditorium, the Stage Crew usually was. The Stage Crew held the keys to the world of theatre. Climbing around the corners of the stage, they locked . . . locked and unlocked the auditorium, turned on lights, set up equipment, opened and closed the curtain for all assemblies, rehearsals, plays, concerts, and productions in the auditorium. Backstage and up in the lighting booth, the Stage Crew pulled the strings to make everything run smoothly behind the scenes. Decked out in naval attire, Jud Manfull, Louis Pep e. Brian Smith. a nd Kevin Long rehearse for H.M.S. Pinafore. Talking to the patients, Anna Richey (nurse) deals patiently with Dov Cohn (Hannibal), and Brenda Hale (Fairy May) in The Curious Savage. Portraying a man with an imaginary scar, Kevin Long hides from ridicule.

Competition and fund raising mimic life Not just another extra-curricular activity, Future Farmers of America worked closely with its academic counterpart, Vocational Agriculture. Thus it earned its important title as an "intracurricular" activity. Students interested in joining the group were required to enroll in Vo.Ag classes, participate in an informal initiation, and express p lans for a career in agriculture. As advisor Mr. David Seamans contended, the students "learned by doing," by participating in community service projects, by selling citrus fruits, seeds, and meat, and by competing. The 1984 Keystone State Farmers from State High, Jon Peters, Dan Kyper, and Barb Green, represented the state at the Eastern Livestock Exposition in Massachusetts.

Another organization, FBLA, specifically designed for students enrolled in business courses, had an academic tie by requiring its members to take at least one course in the Business Department. The club sponsored several competitions in business skills and sharpened their sales skills through a myriad of moneymaking projects, including candy, cookie, and bake sales. As Dawn Leathers remarked, these projects "gave students a feeling of accomplishment and the satisfaction of a job well done." Although not directly linked to any particular class, the Future Homemakers of America, led by Mrs. Bonnie Barry, was designed for students interested in developing home economics skills. Bimonthly p lanning meetings led to a pizza party and an October Homecoming Parade float which tied for first prize. The members also invited guest speakers such as a Merle Norman representative to address the group, made an Arts Festival banner, sold greeting mats, and made valentines for Centre Crest Nursing Home residents. "The students are very energetic and willing to spend long hours on hard work," Mrs. Barry said of the group.

Activities keynote social service groups "Good morning. Today is Wednesday, February 29. Please rise for the pledge. . . . " This message and t he high school's daily announcements each morning were brought by the Key Club, a State High service organization sponsored by Kiwanis. The organization of thirty members participated in a food drive tor the needy, work for the Second Mile, sales for the Kiwanis Club, help tor the Centre Community Hospital, and other service activities. As ad visor Dr. Donald Cross proudly told, "They got great satisfaction from helping others in need of helping to make things better." Another social service club asked their initiates to wear signs that read, "Ask me what ASTRA means." Ability, Service, Training, Responsibility, and Achievement was the answer. The ASTRA girls provided the school and community with a number of services. They assisted parents during the Back-to-School Night, ushered tor myriad events, helped with the Altrusa pancake feast, collected for UNICEF, and sold maroon and white mums during football season .

Autos and outings develop useful skills From the carburetor to the transmission, the students in the Auto Club understood how to care for their cars. According to advisor Mr. Ronald Strope!, the club was designed for students to work on and gain experience in operating their own vehicles with outside guidance. The club met Monday evenings in the shop wing of the high school. Another program, designed t o increase its members' awareness, the Outing Club worked for ecological conservation, personal achievement, fun and excitement. President Rob Perdue intimated that the Outing Club with its increased membership, under the direction of advisor Mrs. Katie Scalise, achieved "tremendous success" this year. The club's expeditions included canoeing, rock climbing, camping, crosscountry skiing, backpacking, and caving. The annual Christmas Party, complete with Santa Claus, and the endof-the-year celebration were traditional program extras. A final senior trip, open to all graduating members offered an exciting end to the year's activities.

Trainers and skiers push sports to limit The day finally arrived! With the bright, blue sky for a backdrop, the snow glistened in t he afternoon sun . Skiers flocked to the slopes of Tussey Mountain, and at least three or four dozen were State High students in the Intramural Ski Program. Students interested in the IM program met five Wednesdays during the winter months to travel to the mountain. Advisor Mr. John Mutzeck emphasized recreational skiing, but he encouraged novices and intermediates to take the readily accessible lessons to learn basic technique. As he acknowledged, "Skiing is fun, but it can also be dangerous if people ski out of control." Other concerned faculty members, Mrs. Joyce Sipple and Mr. John Hopkins, also chaperoned the outings. Another half-dozen students involved in athletics each year had a tiresome season that stretched from August to June. As head student athletic trainer Heather Moberly said, "None of them ever received their due credit, but they stuck with it." Under the supervision of Dale Krach, an instructor and trainer at Penn State, they learned and practiced sports medicine, the care and prevention of athletic injuries. Of State High's many activities, the student trainers chose individual seasonal sports to cover by attending all practices and games. The students' work and dedication qualified two trainers for varsity standing, Keith Thompson and Heather Moberly.

Diversity and variety best described the town of State College. Basically, the entire community revolved around the university, its needs, and activities. Even though Penn State created an exciting environment for its surrounding inhabitants, the business owners found themselves ·1ett with the difficult task of accommodating the various needs of such an unusual community full of character and charisma.

Dr. Babcacl-t Receives Dedicatian Superintendent retires after 36 years of service to district In addition to the graduating seniors from State High, another prominent person also left the State College Area School District in June 1984. This man worked tirelessly for thirty-six years in pursuit of excellence in education, an ideal we hope State High represents. At first a teacher, then a junior high school principal, and then a district administrator, he became Superintendent of Schools in the district, a position he has held with dignity and achievement for seventeen years. In June 1984, Dr. William E. Babcock officially retired his position. Having coordinated the basic daily activities of all the schools and having encouraged community involvement in and support of our schools, Dr. Babcock could review his career with satis-

faction for a job-well-done. He affirmed his belief that "the State College Area School District has provided an opportunity for young people to receive an excellent basic education. Although curriculum, facilities, and personnel have changed over the years, the quality of the programs has remained high. Our community desires good schools and, by all measures of which I am aware, it has them." We would like to thank Dr. Babcock for his hard work and dedication which have helped mold State College's praiseworthy school system. In recognition and gratitude for his commitment to education, the yearbook staff of 1983-84 dedicates this Little Lion to Dr. William Babcock, Superintendent of Schools, 1967-1984.

Unafraid to participate in the activities which interested them, individuals branched out to excel in sports, music, art, clubs, and academics. Students and faculty alike began to accept such nonconformity in each other, realizing that true self-expression was an important step toward maturity.

And Laving ~t

Orwell predicts doom· students enjoy expression Living in the present, but realizing we were free to try new things and experiment - to taste whatever splendors came each day - State High students were in a momentum of change. Rather then predicting Orwellian doom, we were unafraid to dream of the future. We forsaw exciting technological advances which man could use to correct physical restrictions and improve life. Although some Orwellian fiction became fact in the news, State High students found their days filled with expression rather than suppression.
