So many “‘extra’’ activities crammed into “‘extra’’ hours! Students carried their enthusiasm to the outer limits . . . whether it was cheering on the football team to overcome North or eating lollipops and “‘clashing’’ clothing colors, crazier than usual on Spirit Days. A simple bell evoked mass confusion between class periods — look out, it’s a stampede of freshmen! Or is this Grand Central Station? Rallies were literally packed. Sometimes freshmen were forced to sit in the band or football sections due to lack of bleacher seats. Teachers rolled eyes when the words lunch duty were mentioned — with reason. Demand for a seat was high, with the reward going to the highest bidder. Many a time conversations were conducted over two lunch tables! The only aspect of the cafeteria that wasn’t as noisy or crowded was the lunch line, since prices from pizza to milk climbed higher. Dances were louder, more exciting and the attendance was record breaking — if we could only find a spot on the dance floor! Homecoming, the peak of spirit week, was successful due to the efforts of Student Council, band, and colorguard, not to mention the football team. Toga parties sponsored by the Junior Classical League, ski trips, math meets, trips to France, England and Spain, and the prom were all educational and kept students happy and busy. A wide variety of events fulfilled the ambitions and needs of a wide variety of people who made up the student body. Feehan’s parking lot Says it all. It is rare indeed for a late arrival to find an empty space, day or night. Raising their voices on high are folk group members: Front row: Robin Castagnola, Shirley Gorelczenko, Chery!
