Hollywood has its share of athletes. Stunt- men use their athletic talents with such daring that the audience wonders if they will make it to the next scene in one piece. Not everyone can perform the acts of these exceptional per- sons. Although Braintree High has many excep- tional stuntmen and women, it also has many unspoken superstars who can be found daily in gym classes. These unsung heroes participate in a wide variety of skills on an amateur basis. Since these surrogate stuntmen and women don’t have the refined moves of true athletes, they are more prone to injury. For their benefit, as for the rest of the school, we have our own nurses to aid any “fall guys” who might have tripped. Braintree’s women of medicine try to keep the student body in working order at least while they’re within the school walls. Kristen Finerty is ministered to by Ms. Barba. The moves of a gymnast can be very athletic as Josie St. Aimee demonstrates. Lots of guys work out in the weight room. Paul Connors is one. Top row: Ms. Barba (nurse); Mr. Carson: Mr. Chute; Ms. Connolly: Mr. Redmond; Bottom row: Ms. Sullivan (nurse); Mr. Richardi; Mr. Schuhwerk; Ms. Smith; Mr. Fredericks. Not everyone can execute a dunk, but Gary Smith can. Joe D’Ottavio pumps iron. Badmitton requires good coordination and timing. Jill Johnson has both. Debbie Lane punches a pass in field hockey. ,.4 24

In Hollywood there are certain individuals who help in the production of the film even though their participation is not direct. These people usually don’t even make it to the sound- stage. They advise actors and actresses, trying to help them become successful by ironing out their emotional, intellectual or social kinks, kinks. At Braintree High, there are staff members who help our cast with academic problems, future plans or perhaps personal problems. Their intent is to help bring the hundreds of students through four years and graduation with as few problems as possible. Making good choices about your senior program is impor- tant. Mr. Armstrong helps Kathy Gately find a an open course by consulting the computer schedule. Mr. King counsels newcomer Elizabeth Martinez. Project Prove students make great strides in their “one room school- house”. Ms. Farley helps Joan Stracuzzi concentrate on a writing assignment. Ill I 26
