The Faculty - Student Bond Chip: So, do YOU understand this assignment? Hazel: Tlot in the very least. Chip: Well, I guess it ' s after- school time .... again. Such mind-boggling home- work can turn a completely sane person into a fidgety-nail- biting-frothing-at-the-mouth psychopath. However, a group of elite men and women known as THE FACULTY educate and advise the students of A.H.S., doing more than just teaching. They LISTED to us as well. For most, the relationship be- tween students and teachers is good. Th ey are willing to help and lend a sympathetic ear to any problems we might have (except ones like: My mother used my homework as a baby bib. Can 1 hand it in late? Those kinds of problems pass through a teacher ' s ears with- out one bit of concern). The faculty is also willing to spend time EDUCATIMQ stu- dents instead of throwing them out into the real world un- prepared. However, the teach- ers here offer more than just a good learning experience; they offer good advice too. • Donna Dumas Class of ' 88 Mr. Paolo and senior. Carmen Hardmon discuss exactly how to do those intri- cate math problems. Mr. LaCivita, who makes all of our com- puter mail possible, and Mr. Shultz, who helps in the math department, walk the halls as the few, the proud, the Ms. Izzi and Don St. Don discuss how to further help a troubled student on the computer.

Friendships It hardly seems that four years have passed since we first en- tered Attleboro High School and began our Quest for Friends (like Quest for Fire , yet not quite so primitive). Starting out, many of us had fears and were very apprehen- sive as to vy hether or not friends (oh, there ' s that WORD again!) would begin to surface or if we would walk down the halls with a big sign over our heads and an arrow pointing downwards at us say- ing Look at me . . . I ' ve got PiO FRIEPiDS . . . care to associate vAth me? no need to grovel for a hello, though, v nthin a few days after the start of Freshman year, each one of us had begun to find our niche, whether it be with a sports team, an aca- demic team, student govern- ment, or any one of the many clubs and activities, offered to us. We all formed friendships that we hoped would last. Before our freshman year was over, we each had some new, close friends (keeping in mind that all of our friends from mid- dle school DESERTED us to go to (UQM!) PRIVATE school!). With these new friends, we started to share new experi- ences and began to fine tune our personalities and decide who we would like to become better friends with. Along with these changes, we began to drift a little from the friends we brought up from middle school with us and those that we met eariy in Freshman year. With each passing year we be- came closer to the people who we shared our time with, and every new ordeal ( Who- --tell me! WHO am 1 going to the prom with? . . . and no! blind- folding me and spinning me around with my finger pointed at just SOIME boy is nOT the solution!) helped us to under- stand each other better. From the time that the friendships were founded, we have always known that they could only grow stronger with time, and not one of our friends will be forgotten. Amy McCoy Class of m
