hat's right It was the time of our lives. It really was, especially at Assumption We hung out at the Cafe (which was hardly ever open) to catch up on gossip The courtyard was also a popular place to catch rays and chat. Students parked outside of the lines and were repeatedly told over the announcements to go out and move cars. We got to wear jeans and had many more spirit days. We played football on Saturday afternoons and put off doing homework until Sunday night. Students worked at school and outside jobs after school to pay for tuition and have some spending money Weekends used up most of that money. Movies were seen and concerts such as U2, Whitney Houston, and R E M were attended. Students took the risk of skip- ping out, getting caught and sitting in the RLC for a couple of days Seniors could be seen in the Guidance Office trying to figure out what to do with their futures. Students took ITED’s (Iowa Test of Endless Dots), ASVAB's, ACT'S, SAT’s, BAT’s, CAT's, etc. Students boogied at the all- school dances, but freshmen still had to be picked up by their parents Sophomores were cool because they just got their licenses'and Juniors just couldn't wait to be seniors Students still had to deal with Sr. Carla Takes and bring notes. Students could also be seen eating candy sold by a particular club to help raise money for a special outing. We had the time of our lives and will never forget these special years. y.ve' r c.ve'i® y v r

 A lime for STUDENT LIFE What made Assumption tick? What was the reason we kept track of the time? From the first dark roll-over to see the screaming alarm that started our day to the joyful last few seconds before the final bell of the class that completed our school day to the dreaded curfew when the big hand got to that bewitching hour, we knew what counted. We'll remember the hours of studying, the minutes caught inbetween classes, and the second when we got that date. We will remember that we were probably the only school, ever, that had our homecoming dance on Sunday followed by school on Monday. What senior could ever forget being married or getting into a Halloween get-up for the October Spaghetti Supper? What junior will forget their first Prom? What sophomore didn't love Julius Caesar? What freshman will forget the moment the doors opened and there was that first teacher on the first day in that first class. We grew moment by moment, minute by minute, hour by hour, day by day in responsibility through friendship and jobs after school, and pep rallies, and serious late night chats, and Masses, and assemblies and progress reports and pink slips. If we could have saved Time in a Bottle we would have tried to capture some of those moments, days, hours that made life as a student at Assumption special, irritating, unique, frustrating, and sometimes wonderful.
