”1 s couldn ' t we? Well, we managed to make the six with a little cooperation from the participants. But as soon as the picture of the six was taken, half of the population of the six ran over and merged with the group patiently waiting in the eight. The eight became rudely deformed and lopsided with the new ad- ditions, but the photographer snapped the picture anyway. Why didn ' t this picture work well? Maybe the class of eighty-six was too picture-happy. Many other schools managed to correctly form numbers much more complicated than a simple eight and a six. There obviously is a method that works. Not at Braintree High though. ■ ' 1 f a picture can tell a thousand words, then this one does. It was a feeble attempt by the class of 1986 to assemble into an eight and a six. The class of 1986 met outside the gym on a sunny day in June at two o ' clock. It promised I to be a great day for outdoor photogra- I phy. In the past class pictures used to be t taken indoors. However the light in the j pit was so poor that only those standing 1 in the front rows showed up. So, the class gathered outside the gym to use the brilliant daylight which allowed more people to be seen. Other schools could correctly form representing their graduation nd have it look good.

It says a lot about the class of 1986 though, so we decided to use it after all, said Mrs. Conklin. It is pretty funny, she concluded. 25
