Outgrowing the Past After four years at Braintree High School it is hard to remember our first days here. The flood of new freshmen every September brings back some memories of what it was like to be new in high school. By the end of eighth grade we had all been fed horror stories about Braintree High, “The Bear”, and the “school so big it has an eleva- tor.” We all left our junior high schools wary of what lay ahead. When we were freshmen, the old rivalries between East, South, and Central still ran strong. Everyone was determined not to let “these kids” into their group. It was good to be able to see a familiar East, South, or Central face in the sea of humanity up here. Each school stuck together until the lines between us became blurry and soon we forgot who had gone where. We weren’t Central, East, or South kids; we were Braintree High kids. But how can we forget the three years we spent between elementary and high? South’s Rebels, Central’s Golden Eagles, and East’s Beasts were constantly proving who was “number One!” Even now you can hear stories about a certain basketball game or a private joke about a teacher. Someone will look con- fused and you’ll say, “Oh, I forgot, you didn’t go there.” East’s colors are blue and white and the East Beasts were the mascots. Beasts: You must remember how the glass corridor used to flood, and how you had to walk one way during lunch. Remember Mr. Moore and his whistle, with a “This table, let’s go.”? And then there was Miss MacBeth’s “people, people!” The Central Golden Eagles’ colors were gold and white. Eagles: remember the food fight and Mr. Fallano’s, “YOU-up against the wall!”? How about winning the jamboree, all the cockroaches, and best of all, the silent cheer? How about Mr. Benham’s mongoose, Washington D.C., and of course Mr. Murray’s slide shows? South Jr. High kids were the red and white Rebels. Rebels: remember sitting alphabeti- cally in lunch? You enjoyed the famous gas leak and Mr. Coyne and his whistle in the Caf. And who can ever forget Chuckie and bucking pennies at Mr. Spears??? 4
