There were always the last minute papers and the forgot- ten assignments. We also had to decide where we were go- ingg and whether it was to col- lege or to work, the decision had to be made.

We're Going Somewhere . . . This section is meant to chronicle our last year at Hoban. Because of the limited space, this must be a rather brief account and, of course, it must include all the really big things we did. But, somehow, simply telling what happened doesn't tell the whole story. And, somehow, a factual ac- count loses the warmth, the laughter, the hard work, and especially the outrageous good times that were a part of our senior year. In some ways it was a very ordinary year, in fact, at times the routine was al- most unbearable. The tests and assign- ments seemed to stretch on endlessly and we all spent a lot of time counting the days until the next vacation. Yet, at the same time, it was a very special year. It marked an important crossroad in our lives, perhaps that is why the theme of cross- roads is so appropriate to this section. Senior year signaled the end of an entire part of our lives. There would be no more mum days, chocolate drives, Musicales, or Honor Nights for us. This was our last chance to become involved in our class, our last opportunity to get to know the people and form friendships. Most of us took that opportunity and the year was a successful one. As seniors, we took on new respon- sibilities. We were the leaders of the school and each of us handled this job in his own way. Some served on Student Council, some participated in athletics, but most of us simply tried to set an example for the rest of the students to follow. lf our be- havior was not always exemplary, chalk it up to the fact that everyone likes to have a little fun now and then. We all left a little bit of ourselves at Hoban, somehow, some way, no matter how insignificant it was, we left our mark on the school. Most of the things we left behind were intangible - perhaps a good sports record or an un- forgettable dance. Whatever it was, it will always be in our memories and will hope- fully reappear each time we open this book. All in all our record was pretty good, we followed the traditions, broke a few, and created still others. It is our hope that the school is a little better for our having been there. 132 The Senior Class Officers were: Ierry President, and Howard Warner, 1st Sisko, 2nd Vice-President, Pam Hamil- Vice-President. ton, 3rd Vice-President, Bill Iubara, David Abbott Kenneth Allgood Kathryn Andrews Iohn Anich Timothy Aylward Dawn Bartell
