Lasting Impressions Looking back oii our four years at good old Attleboro High, we begin to realize how very typi- cal we acted for our age group. Why don ' t we start from the be- ginning - - - our Freshmen year. For most, this was a time to act, well, very FRESHMEniSH. However, even as freshmen, we still had something vaguely reminiscent of a soci al life. You had the option of A.) going to an ARMORY dance (Hey, I heard that all the gorgeous se- niors are going!! ); B.) going to the Union Theater and act- ing obnoxious ( a skill that only freshman truly possess!); or C.) attending one of the many athletic events held each year; WOW!— I ot bad for a freshman!!! Soon, the official beginning of our SOF— OH — I ORE year was upon us . . WHAT did we have to look forward to? not much, it seemed, we were at that oh-so-horrible stage where we were too cool to have our parents drive us around, yet not many of us had our licenses. So on we went until we realized that this was a potential BIG YEAR, ordering our class rings, and having a semi-formal held outside of the school walls. Our rings came during Febru- ary and we promptly gave them to the ones that we loved that week as a token of our af- fections. Sometime around March we began to put some serious thought into who we would attend the Sophomore Gathering with. Another summer passed; Ju- nior year began, and we were officially UPPERCLASSMEM (WOW . . . ! EAT!!). Some of US struggle to conquer SAT ' s while others of us begin seri- ous job training. In any case we know that the real worid will soon be upon us, and ac- cordingly ... the guys dress up in skirts and make up while the giris don football uniforms and the guys cheer them on. Shows a certain level of matu- rity never before met, but at least we won . . that ' s what ' s really important!!! What ' s even better than POWDERPUFF? You guessed it— PROM!!! Luck- ily, we made it through the mad rush for dates. The giris bought gowns, and some guys beat all odds and managed to get a tux the day of the prom (of course, they were green, purple, and red plaid, but at least they were tuxes!!) After all the excitement of the prom, the year seemed to drag . . . the seniors left, and we were in school until the end of June making up days from the teacher strike at the beginning of the year, but we still had fun!! WOOSH — Summer seems to fly right by! So many of us have jobs over the summer and for- get there is a summer to be had! Soon, we have made it to the highest position on the so- cial ladder for life AS WE Know IT. We are finally SE- niORS . . . say it nice and slow and get the full effect, it sounds better than SOF-OH- MORES! . . . SEEMYOURS . . . you ' ve got it . . . SEEFIYOURS! Very good! And we have many things to look forward to as well as look back upon . . . Powderpuff, senior prom, se- nior semi-formal, the Recef - tion and Breakfast, Class night. Graduation, football games. Armory dances, and the movies . . . hof efully we will all move to a bigger and possibly better things, such as college or work, but it will be hard to forget the times and trends that we had made in our four years at A.H.S. — Amy McCoy Class of 88 Some students slay cool under the pressures of English. Come on, we know you ' re not really reading Moby Dick, you ' re Just using It to hide behind. May Keniston could have swom she saw a mouse loose in the hall. The camera went nuts and gave us twelve pictures In one.

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
