14 First Dance n Friday, September 13, 0 Braintree High got the fall off to a fast start by holding its first dance in two years. D.J. Lisa Lipps from Kiss lOSfm played the music while BHS students danced the evening away in the gym. Organized by the student government, the dance started the year with a burst of school spirit. Debbie Flanders of the student gov- ernment dance committee organized the activity. Planning actually began last June; a permit had to be obtained to use the gym; schedules were approved so no conflict with sports occurred; and a D.J. was hired to play the music and pro- vide the big name draw for the event. Was it worth all the work? Debbie Flanders agreed, It ' s a lot of hard work, but it pays off in the end when everyone has a good time. Lisa Lipps made a hit wit at the dance. It ' s great D.J., declared the well-k personality. Lisa didn ' t step out onto the floor because her favorites are fashioned. I do the Chariesto Twist and sometimes even the polk she admitted. Even though BHS students weren ' t fa- miliar with Lisa ' s favorites, she ' thought, People here seem like fun. Indeed, fun was what allThe kids were having. The crowd of two hundred who ' filled the gym gyrated and party-trained until eleven o ' clock. Most agreed that those who missed the dance lost out on a great experience. Junior Vibba Patel felt, It was the best school dance ever. ' lected tiwefi et ttw d6oif . Mazzoia, and (From laft to right): R Tim O ' Flogherty. Ba koroW, Jot PuMofico darwt.

T he crowd arrived, the lights went on, and the big game finally began. Since the be- ginning of school in the fall, the entire student body had anxiously awaited the September 20th Friday night football game. It was opening night! Braintree ' s young and old gathered to watch Braintree vs. Weymouth North in their traditional opening game rivalry. Many came to witness the dedication of the stadium, lights and athletic complex to Mr. H. Frederick Herget, the late ath- letic director. Mr. Schuhwerk, a close friend of Mr. Herget and the current athletic director, gave an emotional speech to the huge crowd. Mr. Carson added his feelings. He said, Fred was a loyal American, a staunch community leader of strong moral fiber, a loyal friend, a great boss and colleague and a man who is truly missed and thought of constantly. Others came to join in the excitement of the first football game of the year. Whatever your reason to be there, you were also there to cheer for Braintree!! With the mammoth crowd sweltering in the hot September dusk, this was clearly the place to be. The tension and heat on the field was nothing compared to the tension in the stands. Many tempers and fists rose be- fore the game was over. Paula Leonard said, Everyone flew to see the fights. They were much more interesting than i the game! |[ The final score of the game, Wey- J mouth North 24 — Braintree 1 3, was a I disappointment to the local fans. Erin I Kelly stated, I really thought we were ' going to win. Mr. Chute, new varsity coach, com- mented on the game. They were big- ger and more physical than we were to- I night. We had a lot of inexperienced j players on the field. ‘ Through all the fights, the slaughter on the turf and the more pleasant memories of the event, we all managed to have a good time. And we ' ll see you next year Weymouth North. i
