The Abington High School Green Wave — 1979 In the fall of '75, we the class of 1979 entered Abington High School for the very first time. As freshmen we began a search for ourselves. To guide us through this trying year we elected as our class officers Tom, Ruth, Patty, and John, We started the year off at- tempting to show our spirit and enthusiasm by decorating the halls Stumbling into our sophomore year we had gained a considerable amount of confidence, while, at the same time, we moved closer to our goal of becoming upper- classmen . Raising money was the top priority on our agenda. To help us accomplish this, we elected Tom, Cathy, Betsey, and John. One of our most successful projects was a car wash held at Burgertime. Our efforts were duly Freshmen and the gym for our first rally. As the days progressed we had our share of excitement; fire drills, bomb scares, and a walk-out over scabies. Just before Christmas we ordered our class jackets. Unfor- tunately we received them in the spring when it was too hot to wear them. We managed to survive the continual hazing by the upper- Sophomores rewarded as the treasury began to grow. By Thanksgiving we had or- dered our class rings. Finally we belonged, and were a definite part of Abington High. The school gained recognition when the band placed first in the Cherry Blossom Parade, and, suddenly, we were celebrities. Our sophomore year was not all peaceful however. In mid-January frequent fights broke out between the so-called Class classmen and even had some fun of our own at the dances or by just partying on the weekends. By the end of our freshman year we were beginning to discover who we were. But the year was passing quickly; soon we would be sopho- mores stepping up to the second floor. 1 'Jocks'' and ' 'Freaks.'' Luckily most of the issues were soon re - solved and peace was restored. In the spring came baseball and track, with the girls' track team undefeated and becoming league champs for the first time. All too soon the year ended, and we ea- gerly prepared to make the big move up to the third floor; upper- classmen at last!
