Partying with the Class of After darning up a Morin. Senior Seth Oiiphant takes a refreshing drink. The party was rockin’ and the music was playing, as students crowded into the Middle Sch x l gymnasium to witness the event of the year. Held in November of 1986 just following Halloween, this event was entitled the Masquerade of 1986, this year’s Senior Class Event. People arrived at the party with a great variety of costumes, ranging from a gorilla outfit to students dressed as a couple of nerds, but most of the crowd chose to come as themselves dressed in fashionable “going-out-Saturday-night” outfits. The participants included students from all four grades who came ready to have a good time. The music was provided by a senior. Dee Jay Scott Sklar, who played before a group of about 200 people. Prizes were awarded for the best costumes, including dinner for two at an elegant restaurant, swatches, sweatshirts, tee-shirts and socks. Although the party in the Middle School gym ended at around 11:00 p.m., almost everyone there went to an open house party where the fun continued. (Jet into the groove . .

There was one minor incident when a student fainted because he didn’t drink fluid before giving blcxxl. But overall, most students had fun, wearing “Giving Blcxxl’s No Sweat” slickers and headbands and listening to music. One senior admitted, “I only donated so I could get some ccx kics and orange juice.” On March 20, students once again showed their concern for community service and charities at the second annual Student Organization run Anti-Selfishness Day.
