We Are The Future As the 1984 graduating class streamed down the familiar aisles of the auditorium, the band started strumming the tune “Pomp and Circumstance.” The seniors looked so different; boys clad in green and girls dressed in white gowns. With their senior caps balanced properly, the graduating class walked toward the future with their heads held high. The seniors made their final Mass, before becoming alumni, a very memorable experience as they participated in the Class Day Mass. Lisa Piscatelli and Pamela Harrop, along with senior members of the folk group were soloists, while Peter Guimond, Class President and Timothy Sterns, Student Council President, were speakers. To add to the uniqueness of the Class Day Mass, the entire senior body sang a touching melody of “We Are The World,” under the direction of Miss Saulnier. Class Day Mass was over, but for seniors, life was just beginning. At the tree planting ceremony, two trees were planted by the graduating class. One was in the memory of their classmate, Michael Quinn, and the other was the ceremonial class tree. The theme of the Class Day Mass “We Are The Future” was symbolized by both of these trees. The hopes and dreams of the graduating class were planted and challenged to grow, just as the tree itself was seeded into the ground, invited to grow and become a part of the future. The graduating class left many happy memories behind. As their life journey continued, they became a part of the future, making the world a better place to live. Appreciation plus is represented in the bouquet of flowers presented to Sister Mary Faith Harding by Peter Guimond. Procession for Class Day Mass is led by Robert Nicastro and Robert Barber as fellow classmates Timothy Card, Guy Caulkins, Mark Burke, Michael Buckley, Andrew Brown, Terence Brogan, Michael Briggs and Steven Pratt look on. Last performance — Senior member of the folk group, Lisa Piscatelli, joins vocalist, Jeanmarie Ahern. Class Day 27

Prizes Make Parents Preen with Pride I'm so nervous! I’ve made speeches before to be elected to Student Council, to introduce new freshman to the school or to raise money for the walk-a-thon. | was never nervous then, but now my palms are sweating. Tonight it’s in front of our graduating class and the parents! It’s Parents’ Night — a night to thank parents for their support and receive awards for our accomplishments. We march into the auditorium in our green and white gowns, and a few of us continue up to the stage. As Reverend Paul Caron delivers the invocation and Carole Gagnon presents the welcome, my hands and knees are shaking. Mr. O’Boy then begins to announce the awards. All of the hard work and dedica- tion has finally paid off, as we receive our coveted rewards. We begin to think that Maura Detorie, Robert Nicastro, and Patricia Arciero should have permanent seats on stage, so as not to tire them out from walking up all the time. Maura was proud to be honored with Balfour Honor Key, and Maria Castro was peppy and ex- 4 ‘ v. “hié Applause filled the auditorium as Sean Galligan received his Library Aide award from Mrs. McEntee and her helpers, Kathryn Detorie and Cheryl Riccio. cited to win the Spirit Cup.

She proved that yes, sometimes “Parents know best.” Patricia Arciero then urged us to be ourselves and wished good luck for the future. | hope that means | won't mess up my speech. We then sing a song that hits the events of the year for the class of 85 — “We made it through the rain,” Sister Faith gives her best wishes and thanks to the parents and students. Each senior receives his own award, Flashback 1985. As we leaf through the pages, the joys and sorrows, accomplishments and failures of the past years flash before us as we relive cherished moments. It’s time for my speech. My legs are shaking as | walk towards the podium. | think of all the support my parents and friends have given me through the years and have confidence that I can do it. | take out my index cards with my speech on it, that I’ve practiced for weeks. “Thank you for coming to this celebration.
