CLASS HISTORY FRESHMAN As Freshmen, we entered the High School fearful and uncertain of what our next four years would be like. We had left the security of being the oldest in the Junior High to once again have a new beginning. With confidence in their guidance, we chose Brian, Jon, Sue, and Danny as our class officers. A sense of belonging developed when our I.D. pictures were taken, but, as usual, they were never received. We soon realized the excitement of High School as we prepared for our first dance, rally, and the ordering of our class jackets. The dance seemed to go well, as far as we could tell, but our jackets didn’t arrive until the spring. Not quite knowing what to expect, the Freshman walls at the rally looked kind of bare, but we vowed to do better the next time. The Freshman Football Team showed much potential as they ended the season with an unblemished record. In May, we left for Virginia on our first band trip returning with happy hearts and sick stomachs. With a feeling of assurance, we then cleaned out our first floor lockers and headed for the second floor. SOPHOMORE In the fall of ’79, we the Sophomore Class, took up residence on the second floor. We were no longer scared Freshmen but tough Sophomores. We got our first taste of the thrill of Blueberry Hill and, because of this new found knowledge of good times, the opening school dance became the last one. Guiding us through our turbulent struggle were Eric, Jon, Ann, and Danny. Sentiment ran high in the class with the success of the first Operation Carnation and the ordering of our class rings. Girls’ sports took a step forward with the first season of the Girls Soccer Team and the Girls Basketball and Track Teams continued their domina- tion of the South Shore League. As the Class of 1980 left, we looked forward to finding our way to the third floor and joining the ranks of upperclassmen.
