 • • • « • Yes, synergy was a term that well described Assumption High School's 1984-1985 academic year. Despite the sixth yearly decline in enrollment down from 753 students in 1983 to 671 students in 1984, classes be- gan on Monday, August 27, with enthusi- asm. We regarded the new year with highly placed, yet attainable goals. The bustle of Arena Week got us rolling toward the achievement of communal goals — goals which involved the ex- pansion of Assumption as a school and ourselves as persons. As the first weeks progressed an air of togetherness filled the halls as the Assumption family be- gan to take shape. A general electrifying energy entered us as individuals and was only intensified when we gathered as a group in atten- dance of games, plays, clubs, concerts, and religious celebrations. When we were together, events took on added meaning for both participants and spec- tators. We went nuts to Prince as he jammed on our radios. We stayed up late doing homework as an excuse to watch Late Night with David Letter- man and Larry Bud Melman. We laughed at Teachers, seeing a lot of As- sumption's finest portrayed by profes- sional actors and actresses, We watched the Reagan Mondale and Bush Ferrarro debates anticipating the results of the November elections. We marveled at the outstanding accom- plishments of the individual members of our family in athletics, the arts, and aca- demics. We stuck together through thick and thin no matter what, resolving the problems that faced us. We were small in number, yet had great might. We left the 1984-1985 year discovering that our accomplishments had even surpassed our goals.
