These junior girls are evidently having a good time at their picnic. Yes, that's me, the sole survivor of the Macke-Food Eating Contest, says a proud Angela Bronson. As soon as the final bell rings, Ms. Glenn tries to decide which is the fastest way home. Going all out to prevent an O'Connell goal, Joe Quinnette saves the Patriots again. More From Less Declining enrollment. Smaller classes. Limited course offer- ings. News of school closings is all around us. The School Board has come up with the 6-2-2-2 plan, the 7-5 plan, the 6-2-4 plan, and many other complex solu- tions to battle the diminishing numbers. Here at Yorktown, however, the secret is out. We've found the key to getting more from less. More from less means dif- ferent things to different people. To the scholar it means hours hunched over textbooks and prep classes to keep up those SAT scores. To the pseudo- scholars it means cranking out an essay in as little time as possi- ble and making the best out of far less than eight hours beauty sleep. To the more athletic types, more from less means practic- ing long hours and rigorous workouts. It may require play- ing double positions to fill out short-numbered teams or walk- ing the halls selling raffle tickets and spirit ribbons. To those who prefer spectating as a sport, it means turning out en masse to support our teams against the giant South Lakes or Madison. Socially, Yorktown has al- ways been willing to give its all. Commitees spend hours in de- serted hallways and classrooms organizing activities, and people come out in numbers for Home- coming, Sadie Hawkins, Oktoberfest, or whatever else the occasion may be. Senior Council, with its largest mem- bership ever, works long hours to make it a fun-filled, unforgett- able year for the Class of '83. Par- tying is as important as ever; everyone tries his best to get as much in as possible in those short hours before the dreaded curfew. Cramming 200+ people into basements, backyards and ski trip motel rooms remain basics. In fact, most of Yorktown life is based on the more from less principle: to have as much fun as possible in our limited high school days.
