‘ We’re back’’... Joseph McLaughlin and Philip Tetreault give their teammates a hand in the car wash fund raiser. “Try it! Youll like it!”’... Sister Ricarda is an old hand at selling flea market treasures at the annual Pancake Breadfast. OS ita : ene LINKING CAKES, CARS COLLECTIBLES t had to be spring! The Green Machine was in the kitchen and Sister Ricarda was up to her old fund raising tricks. Once again, Head Football coach Mr. Paul O’Boy and the football team were flipping flapjacks and washing cars to raise money for their summer camp. In the past the team has gone to Portsmouth Abbey School for their annual week of camp. Unfortunately, inflation of camp rates has caused them to have camps on their regular season practice field the past two years. The football team’s pancake and sausage breakfast has been a greatly anticipated fund- raiser since 1975. Mr. O’Boy must be a pretty good cook because the crowd seems to get bigger every year. People of all ages look forward to the festivities that accompany this day. Not only did the customers receive a good inexpensive meal, but also a free car wash and time to do some shopping in the process. While parents enjoyed the meal and each others company, the young children got acquainted as they ran around playing Pancake Breakfast games in the cafeteria. Others who attended the Pancake Breakfast included such people as alumni, elderly people in the area, students, and faculty. While one half of the football team was inside serving the countless customers, the rest of the team was outside washing an endless line of cars. During the festivities, Sister Ricarda and her helpers sold everything from puzzles to antique lamps. Once again the flapjacks, flea market and car wash were a big hit.

Laughter and tears, work and play, all helped to make the... hirty-six months, seven hundred and twenty days, 259,200 minutes may be a long time to be a fresh- man who is just beginning the climb. To a senior who has reached it though, it felt not long enough. To the graduating seniors, it felt like only yesterday. Graduation was the day that each student saw as the ultimate achievement in his her high school career. It was a time when each could sit down and say ‘“‘we did it” with pride. They had finally reached the end of their four year journey, and many felt a great sense of ac- complishment mixed with a Dreams of Yesterday Today’s Reality bit of sadness. When the class of 1988 en- tered high school as fresh- men, they expected to work diligently to receive their di- plomas in four years. They expected the excellent edu- cation that our school is known for. Besides the re- quired foundation courses, they could take advanced maths, a foreign language, and selective literature courses. Little did they know that they would leave with so much more. Not only did seniors gain lasting friendships, they had numerous opportunities to share their spirit and enthu- siasm with each other. They had several chances to at- tend ECHO, a weekend re- treat filled with exciting ac- tivities which brought the students closer together. The memories that seniors have of their high school years are so precious that they have left an everlasting mark in their lives. During the last four years, they de- veloped strengths, acknowl- edged weaknesses, set goals and had the determination to overcome any obstacle. They demonstrated care for one another as a community and they grew in the spirit which is a tradition for all of us. Bishop Daniel Cronin called seniors to set goals; not only in careers, but in faith. Our alma mater song restated the ideals taught and the lessons learned in our quest for the future. As Christine Dufresne stated in her valedictory speech, “We are the tomor- rows — a time where our po- tentials can be fulfilled and our dreams can materialize.” 720 days have opened the door into the future. Gradu- ation was a time of depar- ture as well as a beginning. As Robert Frost once wrote: ‘“‘The woods are lovely, dark and deep, but I have prom- ises to keep, And miles to go before I sleep, And miles to go before I sleep.” Ready, aim, fire! Sister Patricia Harrington ‘“‘shoots” her long-time friends, James Kelley, Thomas O’Brien, Michael LaChance, Neil Primeau, Scott Lesiuk, Norman Pouliot just before they join the line of march. Sweet girl graduates, Laura O’Gara and Shannan O’Heir trade compliments on each other’s dresses. It won’t be long now! Graduates, Todd Piantedosi, Keith McCue, Edward Pezelli and retiring chaplain, Father Paul Caron, are ready for departure. Memories are made from nights like this. Eric Nelson, Jamie Keiper, Matthew Miga wait for the signal to form the graduation line-up. Graduation
