DANCE ON SUNDAY, SCHOOL... i ‘ I was really surprised and happy, and the memories will last forever. 9 9 Sara Broderick crjp o whom it may concern: Please excuse my son daughter for being absent on Monday, September 28, 1987 She He was not feeling very well. Thank you. Sincerely, The Senior Parents.” This was the message on one of the decorations made by Maggie Feeney, Maureen Mullin and Carrie Cockman that was in the se- nior halls on Wednesday night Septem- ber 23. This was the senior’s favorite sign. Even though Homecoming tradition was changed and the dance was held on Sunday night, all the other events proved that Assumption students had just as much or even more spirit as any other year. But, Beth Schebler expressed, It was unfair to the seniors because we were looking forward to all of the Home- coming privileges since our freshman year and they took it away from us. She was referring to the senior skit and tape. Before the bonfire on Thursday night, students, teachers and alumni gathered in the auditorium for the announcement of the queen and her court. The band and the cheerleaders got the crowd psyched up for the game that would be held on Saturday at Brady Street Stadium against West High School. The court, which was announced by Father Paul Deyo, con- sisted of Jenny Feeney, Nicole Huber, Katrina Merritt, Jenny Trilk, Saori Uchino and Homemcoming queen, Sara Broderick. Then everyone swarmed around the bonfire as cheerleaders put enthusiasm in the crowd by chanting cheers. In preparation for the weekend, the Homecoming Mass was celebrated on Friday by Monsignor Leo Feeney. Many di- ocesan priests attended to help celebrate Homecoming week and the returned alumni. Enjoying the pep rally, Homecoming queen, Sara Broderick sits high on her throne. Homecoming

 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.
