Since that time Mr. Reagan has been responsible for the total operation of the high school.

' Mr. Reagan believes that a great deal is done for the students at Brockton High, for there are more opportunities here than at most other schools in the Commonwealth. He urges the students to take advantage of these chances to help us prepare for our future endeavors. Mr. Reagan feels that the class of '88 has been fortunate to attend Brockton High at a time when there are so few students. Presently, there are about 2,000 less students than in 1976. This has provided v,J l and for more attention to the needs of the indi- vidual through smaller class size and closer teacher-student relationships. With this kind of quality education and the dedication and hard work of its members the class of '88 has become one full of outstanding leaders. When Mr. Reagan was asked to take another look at our class. he remarked that he has enjoyed working with us and really believes that we were interested in making Brockton High School a better place. - v - -jennifer Occhipinti
