This year the yearbook staff had a hard time deciding how to describe the class of 1983 because our class does not fit a general classification. Each member of the class is very different from all the others. It was sug- gested that we set our theme on the uniqueness of the individuals in our class with the theme Piece by Piece. We see the class of 1983 as a large puzzle in which each person is one piece. Each piece of the puzzle is different but when put together they will form a picture of uniqueness that is different from any other class in the history of Silver Lake Regional High School.

Please patronize our Advertisers. We've Only Just Begun We've only just begun to live, White lace and promises A kiss for luck and we're on our way. Before the rising sun we fly, So many roads to choose We start out walking and learn to run. And when the evening comes we smile, So much of life ahead We'll find a place where there's room to grow, And yes, We've Just Begun. Sharing horizons that are new to us, Watching the signs along the way, Talking it over just the two of us, Working together day to day, together. Paul Williams DEDICATION By tradition, every yearbook is dedicated to an outstanding individual that the senior class feels especially close to. This year, the 1983 Torch editors felt very strongly about two such outstanding individuals. Mr. Rock; for his many years of devotion and dedication to the Silver Lake students. Mr. Rock, "We will miss you upon your retirement." Mr. Aherne, for his support and attention to Silver Lake students and particularly for his interest in the Class of 1983. Mr. Aherne, "What did we do when you weren't here?" It is therefore with great plea- sure and admiration that we, the Class of 1983, dedicate this yearbook to both Mr. John Rock and Mr. John Aherne. We wish you both the best of luck on your new beginnings. Each year the graduating class has had as a re- membrance of their high school years a "yearbook" that captures briefly their involvement within the Sil- ver Lake School community. This recapitulation is reflective upon life in general since many members of the class have greatly contrib- uted to their own growth and development while others have been less than enthusiastic about their contributions. Your benefit from an activity is related to the same degree that your efforts reflect your commitment to that activity. Thus, it is our hope that you have come to the realization that you are the key to the improve- ment of life. It is you who must begin to be the decision makers of today and the leaders of tomorrow. It is you who must be concerned about the proliferation of nuclear arms, destruction of our ecology, and the scarcity of our fresh water. The greatest obstacle to growth and development, to learning, and to improving life is the question of self-doubt and the questioning of ones own ability. It has been our goal at Silver Lake Regional School District that we discipline rather than furnish the mind, to develop logical thinking and to use its own powers, rather than have you accumulate a store- house of irrelevant facts. To this end, it is our hope that we have provided to those of you who have bene- fited from our service an opportunity that will be the foundation for your life ahead of you. To others who have not been as insightful, it is not too late to pursue with vigor your interest and skills that will enable you individually and society as a whole to be the benefactors of your efforts. May I extend to each member of the graduating Class of 1983 my congratulations and best wishes. Paul A. Squarcia Superintendent of Schools Paul A. Squarcia Superintendent of Schools TO THE CLASS OF 1983 Your commencement is not an end but a beginning. You are embarking on a voyage, in that your Silver Lake Regional High School education was but a point of departure. It is my hope that you continue to gain knowledge and experience in life, and use these acquisitions for the betterment of your community and nation. The very best wishes to the Class of 1983.

What are these feelings swirling around? Why am I up and then I'm down? I'm happy, then sad, then in-between. What do all these puzzles mean? kS I & ■ >^3n# DEAR PAUL Remember the carefree days And Tonka toys Little kid games And silly nicknames Walt Disney And the boogie man Nobody told me growing up would be so hard If we could only go back to yesterday. Everything so perfect, so right. The only hurt we had were skinned knees Now I have to deal with life and death Love and hate Broken hearts This list goes on forever Life, however, doesn't Yours seemed to have ended Before it began I try to cry k But the tears don't come Things happen That I don't always understand The end is near The final curtain and all that Sooner or later we'll all be with you So don't worry You won't be alone for eternity I hope everyone in your new life loves you as much as we did I'll remember your smile And put it in my heart It'll be like you never died Inside you'll live forever. — Judy Borofski Paul Shire Lisa Marie Abraham Kingston . . .

Led by senior captain Caron Ahearn, the Lakers relied heavily on their improved team speed and quickness both on offense and defense. Key players were juniors Priscilla Cubie, Susan Budak, Deidre Kennedy and Linda Nali as well as many sophomore players. The Lakers met the challenge of the tough Old Colony League schedule and finished the season with a very fine 13 wins and 4 losses. The second place league finish enabled the girls to qualify for post-season tournament play for the third time in the school's history. The Lakers were an exciting team to follow this season. 118 119 Boys' Basketball The boys' varsity basketball team had a tough season in the Old Col- ony League in 1982-83. A young team, they struggled all season but earned valuable experience. Of the 15 players, only three were seniors. Very competitive and exciting to watch, the team, featuring 10 juniors, figures to be very experi- enced and ready to play next sea- son. With Chris Mosher, Gary Kehoe, Jeff Ryan and Scott Plausse, coach Dick Arieta noted that 'we'll have a fine front court for next year. With Tom Rice, Phil Doyle and Rob Vickers we'll have good stability in our backcourt as well." Two players who switched back and forth between the subvarsity and varsity teams, — Keith Gauley and Rob Costell — should also see a lot of action next season. "This year we had the best ability and balance in several years. The important part of the season was the cohesiveness of the team. That, in itself, will help make next year pro- dictive." Arieta said. 120 GIRLS' SOFTBALL The 1982 Girls' Softball Team kept up the tradition of excellence for Silver Lake Softball. Look Ma, no hands! Umph!

They had one dis- appointing loss and took 2nd place in the league. The girls came back at the end of the sea- son and won the OCL meet. Cap- tains for the team are Lois John- son, Leanne Kearney, Lydia Berry and Moira Teevens.

Me and my shadow! 124 GIRLS' TENNIS The tennis team was led to several wins by Robin Opachinski and Bobbi Tibbets. The seniors were Anne Fer- ris and Captain Terri McMakin. Catch ya on the back swing 125 BASEBALL To strike or not to strike. Just win boys, win!! Take me out to the ball game! The 1982 baseball team was a hard- working crew. They had a solid record which they hope to improve this year. The 1982 all-stars were Jim Mealy, John Gillen, and Kevin Stevens. Lead- ing the 1983 team are captains Don Kemmet, John Gillen, and Kevin Stevens. 126 Go For It Harry! SPORTS CLASSICS Pi Has basketball gone to your head? Feels soooo good!!! 127 ACTIVITIES STUDENT COUNCIL 82-83 The Student Council was at its best this year! Working to make this year better than ever were: President — TerriMcMa- kin, Vice President — Scott Griggs, Sec- retary — Wendy Singer, Treasurer — Kelley Higgins, and Advisor — Mr. Kel- ly. The most outstanding activity they organized was Silver Lake's first Pep Ral- ly in eight years! Once again the semi- formal and bloodmobile were great suc- cesses. Unity among campuses was a ma- jor goal. All in all, Student Council kept Laker spirit high. 130 CLASS OFFICERS SENIORS JUNIORS SOPHOMORES FRESHMEN 1 131 A LEARNER Each day I learn more Than I teach; I learn that half knowledge of another's life Leads to false judgement; I learn that there is a surprising kinship In human nature; I learn that it's a wise father who knows his own son; I learn that what we expect we get; I learn that there's more good than evil in this world; That age is a question of spirit; That youth is the best of life No matter how numerous its years; I learn how much there is to learn. Virginia Church The advisors of the 1983 yearbook would like to thank the editors and staff for all their hard work. We all started this year as novices, and in the process of learning the editors and staff have produced a yearbook of which you will be proud. A yearbook does not just come together; it is produced by many hours of hard, often tedious work. The class of 1983 should consider themselves lucky to have had such dedicated editors. Without them the yearbook would not have been published. Thank you editors from your advisors.

It was very much a pleasant surprise to see Silver Lake Pride come alive. But it didn't stop there! The Homecoming Dance was put on Saturday night with Drywater & Gorilla playing up a storm! Queen Terri and Kings Kevin & George made an unbeatable royal court. The next day was the Big Game with all the class floats, and although we didn't win, the spirit and effort shown by fans and players made it a very special Homecoming! Juniors 143 Talent Show The Talent Show concluded the month long sociology Fight For Hunger project. Per- formed on December 20, the show proved to be a lot of fun, as the students of Silver Lake exhibited their talents. Ellen Doyle won the award for the best act while Krank was chosen as the best band. "BRIDGING THE GAP" The separation of the campuses brought about a separation of friends, yet, the point of this page is to show that through it all we still remain one school and one graduating class. 147 FOREIGN When the time comes for me to leave in my heart there will be for- ever the best feelings, and great mem- ories of this school, the people, and many things that I can never forget, because it really was an incredible experience. Thanks for all! NOEMI LOMBROZO 148 EXCHANGE Silver Lake's exchange program brings back many memories for all of us. Our freshman year brought us a taste of France along with a few strange experi- ences. A Scottish invasion took place in our junior year. Two fun filled weeks brought us bag pipes, kilts, and a tearful good- bye. Three memorable months of our senior year were shared with our Mexican friends. They bridged the gap between our country and theirs, and for that, they shall remain in our hearts. Through these experiences we learned more than any book or filmstrip could ever teach us. For all the terrific memories we thank them. 149 Yearbook Staff Back row 1. to r.: Lisa Mahoney, Cherie Leach, Betsie Parsons, Ellen Doyle.
